On Saturday October 18, I'll be speaking at the annual Mass Monster Mash gig on the subject of Bigfoot in Britain.
Here's all the details of the event, location, website details, price, and much more.
Check it out if you're in the area; it looks like it will be a great event!
MASS MONSTER MASH Paranormal Infotainment that brings the fear back to Halloween!
Five Outstanding Researchers Set To Speak On Paranormal PhenomenaWatertown, MA -- When darkness falls on Saturday, the 18th of October, 2008, five experts will speak about unexplained phenomena at the Hibernian Hall in Watertown, Massachusetts.
The topics of discussion will include Mothman, Weird Massachusetts, Haunted Baseball, Phantom Hitchhikers, the Loch Ness Monster 75th Anniversary, the Bridgewater Triangle and Bigfoot in England! It's time for the third annual "Mass Monster Mash", New England's premiere paranormal conference!
Esteemed cryptozoologist and popular author Loren Coleman will present his detailed research and chronology from his book Mothman and Other Curious Encounters of the incredible Mothman sightings, a series of odd encounters with a winged humanoid that took place in 1966 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Some feel that this "flap" indirectly caused several fatalities, including a massive bridge collapse. Loren will refer to the hit movie The Mothman Prophecies and give a current assessment and perspective of one of the classic historical cryptozoological mysteries of our time. He may even defer to the "Houston Batman" incident as well as the "Lawndale Thunderbird". Coleman, the world's greatest living paranormal researcher, will provide unique insight into his research of this unexplained incident that rattled an Appalachian community 32 years ago. As he will be making a rare Boston appearance, he will be available to sign copies of his books, including his culture-changing masterpiece Mysterious America, considered by many to be the seminal book of cryptozoology. It was Coleman who dubbed the anomalous area in Southeastern Massachusetts as the Bridgewater Triangle, which was prominently featured at the 2007 Mass Monster Mash along with Loren's presentation about the "Dover Demon". He also created Cryptomundo, the premiere cryptozoology web site on the World Wide Web.A rising star - and arguably one of the most versatile paranormal authors in the world today - will be speaking for the second time at the 2008 Mass Monster Mash.
Writer Jeff Belanger will once again dazzle the audience with some of his classic legends. Belanger is widely recognized as the most prolific author working in ghost research today. A frequent guest on Rob McConnell's radio show the X-Zone, Belanger is an eloquent speaker who articulates the most chilling accounts of alleged ghost and poltergeist activity. His web site Ghost Village is one of the most popular ghost activity and research portals on the Internet. Jeff's lecture will be entitled "Weird Massachusetts". No, he won't be talking about the state's liberal politics or moral promiscuity. He'll tackle some of the Bay State's greatest paranormal mysteries in its 350-year history. He will be selling his vast array of titles that encompass poltergeist activity such as "The Ghost Files: Paranormal Encounters, Discussion, and Research from the Vaults of Ghostvillage.com".
Another prolific author, paranormal expert, government agitator and professional monster hunter is Nick Redfern. Nick was born in Great Britain and now resides in the United States. He has appeared on more than 60 TV shows to promote his numerous books (including the Sci-Fi Channel). He has traveled to Puerto Rico to search for the legendary Chupacabra and he has appeared on MSNBC with Keith Olbermann. He has lectured at a variety of conferences, including the Laughlin UFO Congress (in 1998 and 2001); the Mutual UFO Network Conference in 2004; the Aztec UFO Conference in 2003; the Texas Bigfoot Research Conference in 2004; at numerous events for the British-based UFO Magazine between 1997 and 2000 (now closed); and at the UFO Crash Retrieval Conference in Las Vegas (in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006). His many book titles include Three Men Seeking Monsters, Memoirs of a Monster Hunter, and his newest title There's Something In The Woods. As it has always been traditional for the Mass Monster Mash to have a bigfoot element (Stan Gordon in 2006 and Don Keating in 2007), Nick's lecture at the Mass Monster Mash will be entitled "Man Monkey: In Search of the British Bigfoot".
Dan Gordon first experienced the magic of Fenway Park in the summer of 1975 when his father took him to his first game. With a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, Gordon studied global baseball culture in Japan, the Domincan Republic, Cuba and Nicaragua. His writings on baseball have appeared in the Providence Journal, Fort Worth Star, San Juan Star, NINE, Elysian Fields Quarterly and Scribners Encyclopedia of American Lives. Gordon recently published the popular Cape Encounters: Contemporary Cape Cod Ghost Stories. His lecture will be the same title as his newest book: Haunted Baseball. He'll talk about such tales as: The historic Spring Training ballpark in St. Petersburg, where Babe Ruth and his teammates still roam the field, the ghost encounters at Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and Dodgers Stadium; the beloved Cleveland Indians trainer said to have revisited the team in the form of a seagull and eerie player stories from road-trip hotels they insist are haunted.
The Loch Ness Monster will be having its 75th birthday celebration at the Mass Monster Mash. "Nessie" came to the public's attention on June 5th, 1933 when a young maidservant named Margaret Munro supposedly observed the creature for about 20 minutes at about 6:30 am. She spotted it on shore from about 200 yards and described it as having elephant-like skin, a long neck, a small head and two short forelegs or flippers. The sighting ended when the creature re-entered the water. Although sightings of the creature on land around the loch reputedly date back to the sixth century, modern interest in the monster was sparked by a sighting on July 22nd, 1933 when George Spicer and his wife saw 'a most extraordinary form of animal' cross the road in front of their car. They described the creature as having a large body (about 4 feet high and 25 feet long), with a long, narrow neck, slightly thicker than an elephant's trunk and as long as the 10 to 12 foot width of the road; the neck had a number of undulations in it. They saw no limbs because of a dip in the road obscuring the animal's lower portion. It lurched across the road towards the loch 20 yards away, leaving only a trail of broken undergrowth in its wake. And finally, in August of that same year a motorcyclist named Arthur Grant claimed to have nearly hit the creature while approaching Abriachan on the north-eastern shore, at about 1 am on a moonlit night. Grant saw a small head attached to a long neck; the creature saw him and crossed the road back into the loch. Grant dismounted and followed it to the loch, but only saw ripples.
There will be a tribute to Scott Norman of Cryptosafari, a classy cryptozoologist and friend to the Mass Monster Mash, who suddenly passed away this year. Artist Bill Rebsamen has created a wonderful portrayal of Scott's work. Scott was lucky enough to encounter a Pterosaur during one of his expeditions. He also searched for the legendary Mokele-mbembe.
Back again as a co-host at the Mass Monster Mash will be Matt Moniz. Matt has over 20 years experience investigating paranormal phenomena. He has a "Forrest Gump"-type litany of involvement with historical UFO, ghost and paranormal case investigations and has even tried to pick up a phantom hitchhiker! Matt will chat specifically about that legendary entity, namely the Red-Headed Hitchhiker of Route 44. As a chemist, Matt analyzed soil samples from the famed "Bentwaters Incident" and was acknowledged accordingly in the book "Left at East Gate" by Larry Warren and Peter Robbins. He will be bringing soil samples from that area where an alleged UFO landing took place 27 years ago. Matt was also featured in the popular books "Witnessed" by Budd Hopkins, and "Glimpses of Other Realities" by Linda Moulton Howe. Matt will be reporting live from the Mash for the hit fortean radio show Spooky Southcoast that is hosted by Tim Weisberg and Matt Costa.
Some other special guests will be on hand for the Mash.
Christopher Balzano, who is a staple at the Mass Monster Mash, is an expert on paranormal phenomena in New England, director of the "Mass Paranormal Crossroads", author of the book Dark Woods and a recent recording artist. Chris will be on hand (he lives in Florida now) to meet and greet the conference attendees. Chris has also written about the Dover Demon case and is a collector of urban legends, such as the "Red-Headed Hitchhiker of Route 44", Ghosts of the Bridgewater Triangle, Ghostly Adventures, "Pukwudgies" and "Killer Clowns". Balzano has spent countless hours researching the Bridgewater Triangle. His latest book is Picture Yourself Ghost Hunting.
Tim Binnall is the producer of the Binnall of America Audio Podcast and webmaster of the very popular internet portal Binnall of America that deals with "esoteric" phenomena. Tim is a webmaster for Coast to Coast with George Noory and he will be back to meet-and-greet the speakers and attendees while again serving as the Monster Mash Ambassador. He was a vital participant in last year's conference (and recognized as such with an award) and his company was enjoyed by many.
Film producer Aaron Cadieux may be on hand as well. In 2006, he screened his film "Inside The Bridgewater Triangle" at the Monster Mash and received critical acclaim. He is recognized as one of New England's up-and-coming film producers and has just released his latest documentary "The First Patriots", dedicated to King Philip's War.
Chris Pittman, a Massachusetts folklorist, paranormal investigator and a recent recording artist is considered by many to be the foremost authority on the Bridgewater Triangle. His extensive exploration of this anomalous area, research into the Dover Demon and encounters with black helicopters make him a fascinating and enigmatic guest. His brief lectures at last year's Monster Mash and Mass UFO Show were riveting. Both he and Chris Balzano may be on hand to autograph their CD entitled "Mysterious Bridgewater Triangle".Joining the Mash once again may be defending Monster Mash trivia champions (and the "belle and beau of the ball") Arlene Nicholson and Thomas D'Agostino, author of the books Haunted Rhode Island, Haunted New Hampshire and Haunted Massachusetts. Arlene and Thomas (who is recognized by his peers as the most comprehensive New England ghost historian) will be available for questions during a book signing.
Ned, the hyperactive janitor-at-large from Paraforce (played by comedian Steve Russo) will once again disrupt the proceedings. We are hoping that he limits his use of Homer Formby or at least uses it in a responsible manner with proper ventilation.
This event was created and produced by philanthropist and paranormal gadfly John Horrigan. Horrigan has a vast history of paranormal exploration and is considered by many to be a leading popular historian and public speaker.
The Mass Monster Mash is a celebration of Northeastern legends and folklore, using lecture, film, exhibits and trivia dedicated to strange occurrences with a mission to entertain and captivate anyone who is looking for spirited pre-Halloween fun! Doors open at 5:30 PM with the program beginning promptly at 6:00 PM and concluding by 10:30 PM.
Also, this may be your only chance to pick up the "The Bridgewater Triangle" CD that was produced by Steve Russo and created by event producer John Horrigan, Chris Pittman and Christopher Balzano. The Mass Monster Mash is accessible by public transportation. Admission is $25.00. Tickets are limited and will not be sold at the door.For more information: firstname.lastname@example.com or call 781-916-9223 or log on to http://www.massmonstermash.org/

Arsenic poisoning is the accidental ingestion, skin contact, or inhalation of products containing a toxic dose of arsenic. The most common cause of arsenic poisoning in cats is ingestion of ant baits that contain arsenic. The clinical signs of sudden arsenic poison can vary depending on the dose. Supportive therapy is a crucial part of treating arsenic poisoning. Aggressive fluid therapy and rehydration is necessary and helps the body to remove arsenic from the body.
Since we want the best for our pets, we should include them in the go green movement. Here are a few ways you can create a cleaner, greener home for you and your pet.
The simple description of an abscess is a pocket of pus located somewhere in the body. A cat with an abscess will often have a fever, even if the abscess has ruptured and drained to the outside of the body. Appropriate antibiotic therapy is a critical component of the successful treatment of abscesses, no matter the location.

El ácaro del oído Otodectes cynotis es un ácaro de superficie que vive sobre los gatos, perros, conejos y hurones. Normalmente se encuentra en el canal auditivo, pero también puede vivir en otras superficies de la piel. Todo el ciclo vital del ácaro tiene lugar en el animal. Los ácaros del oído son muy contagiosos, y los gatos pueden llegar a infectarse por el contacto directo de otro animal infectado. El ácaro es apenas visible directamente y se identifica como pequeñas motas de polvo blanco sobre un fondo oscuro.
Acepromazine is used as a sedative and a pre-anesthetic agent. It also possesses the following properties: prevents vomiting, prevents muscle spasms, alleviates itching as a result of skin irritation and decreases temperature.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol®, Paracetamol, APAP, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol) is a pain relief and fever-reducing medicine people use for many types of pain.
Acetaminophen is a medication that is used to treat fever and/or pain in humans. Cats have a genetic deficiency in a metabolic pathway in the liver that makes cats vulnerable to acetaminophen toxicity.
Acetaminophen is a medication that is used to treat fever and/or pain in humans. Acetaminophen is toxic for dogs, and unfortunately, acetaminophen toxicity in dogs is somewhat common as dog owners attempt to treat their dogs for pain without first consulting with a veterinarian.

Well, for the past few hours the news has been spreading like wild fire. EDB, Inj3ct0r and a few others have been had by the skilled ninjas from "owned and exposed" team. Being a member of exploit-db myself, I have to admit it came as a shock. At the same time I was curious and well… have to give credit where credit is due.
They were nice enough to leave the site alone… thanks again. Here's an article recently posted on Exploit-DB about the matter.

– Physical Education and Nutrition Education Working Together
PE-Nut is a nutrition and physical education program that uses a whole-school approach to motivate students, parents and educators to be physically active and eat healthier. PE-Nut is designed to improve health behaviors in a school environment by presenting simple, consistent nutrition and physical activity messages via multiple approaches. Academic achievement improves when students receive a healthful diet and when they can be physically active throughout the school day. In PE-Nut, physical educators, classroom teachers and school administrators work together to improve nutrition and physical activity in K–5 school settings. It fits nicely with the Coordinated School Health (CSH) approach in schools.
Students who eat nutritious food and participate in regular physical activity are healthier. They miss fewer days of school and are more on task. This means that teachers' instructional time is more efficient. Numerous studies have linked physical activity among students to higher test scores. So not only will students' health improve, but they'll be more focused learners.
School-Wide Nutrition and Physical Activity Messages
Since messages are more effective when they are consistent and delivered through multiple channels, all school staff and volunteers can play a vital role by using the Building Leadership Guide to reinforce nutrition messages. Use the links below to help promote a healthy school environment.
Building Leadership Guide: School Announcements
Building Leadership Guide: School Newsletters
Ensuring Success: Healthy Classrooms, Healthy Schools™ K-2
Ensuring Success: Healthy Classrooms, Healthy Schools™ 3-5
Ensuring Success: Health Through Literacy™ Classroom Book Sets & Physical Activity Book Bag
Ensuring Success: Health Through Literacy™ Take-Home Book Bags
In the classroom, students not only learn why it is important to eat properly, they learn how to make healthy choices while sampling healthy snacks, all in an environment that supports healthy living. Physical activity is also included via activity breaks in the classroom. This all happens within a school culture where teachers, physical educators, administrators and other partners (such as the food service director) teach and reinforce the importance of physical activity and proper nutrition with consistent language and messages.
Many of the PE-Nut materials also have core curriculum links, so you can reinforce instruction in math, science, social studies, and language arts.
Healthy Classrooms, Healthy Schools helps teachers transform first their classroom and, ultimately, their school to be environments that promote healthy eating and physical activity.
One HCHS set is for grades K–2, the other for grades 3–5. Both can be ordered with companion books tailored to a specific grade. Both also include activities for teachers and students that introduce and reinforce healthy messages.
Healthy Classrooms, Healthy Schools touches on all areas defined by the Centers for Disease Control as part of a Coordinated School Health program.
The book sets that make up Health Through Literacy include five to six books, age-appropriate for each grade K–5, with nutrition or physical activity themes.
Each book comes with a tip sheet to enhance the health messages within the books. These tip sheets help teachers to discuss the books with their classes, incorporate physical activity into the reading of the book, provide a food tasting opportunity for students, and integrate health messages with other areas of the program.
Studies have indicated that classroom physical activity breaks improve on-task behaviors in students, thereby increasing the learning experience of the child. Teachers can use FitBits™ to offer students a physical activity break lasting 7–10 minutes while simultaneously teaching nutrition concepts in the classroom.
Each book has activities targeted at a grade level. The Kindergarten book includes thirty activities; the Lower Elementary (grades 1–2) and Upper Elementary (grades 3–5) each have forty. The nutrition concepts include: Healthy Bodies, Food Groups, Fruits and Veggies, and Healthy Snacks.
Each book also includes a CD with music to play during the physical activity component, if desired. View more detailed information about FitBits™
In the whole-school approach of PE-Nut, physical education (PE) and nutrition education work together to create healthy student behavior change. In physical education class, students not only learn why it is important to be physically active, but also the skills to do so. Nutrition education is also infused into the PE instruction.
The Exemplary Physical Education Curriculum (EPEC) is an easy-to-use, award-winning physical education curriculum aligned with the national standards. EPEC teaches students the knowledge and skills and fosters the competence and confidence they need to enjoy physical activity for a lifetime.
Being a true curriculum, EPEC includes:
EPEC is being used by thousands of teachers nationwide to strengthen both the practice and perception of physical education in their schools. View more detailed information about EPEC Classic™
Because many schools have weekly or monthly opportunities for parents to become engaged with school themes or issues, schools are encouraged to work in conjunction with their PE-Nut Nutrition Educator to include nutrition, physical education and physical activity information as part of these regular parent engagement activities. The Building Leadership Guide is provided to school administrators as a resource to help incorporate healthy eating and physical activity messages into parent engagement activities.
These activities reinforce the message being taught in the gymnasium and classrooms and allow outreach to parents and guardians of students and the community beyond.
PE-Nut includes many materials that reach beyond the student and the classroom to encompass parents and families, such as the Parent Newsletters. Four quarterly newsletters specific for each grade K–5 that focus on physical education, physical activity, and nutrition are available. Each newsletter reinforces not only the physical education skills taught in EPEC PE classes, but also the personal/social skills. The newsletters also provide ideas for families to get physically active together.
The nutrition side of each newsletter provides a brief article addressing common misconceptions regarding nutrition, ideas for family nutritional activities, an easy recipe and the title of a related book.
A blank area on each newsletter can be used for school announcements or for recognition of an agency that underwrites the costs of the newsletters.
The PE-Nut program also offers other materials that help spread messages about healthy eating and physical activity to the home, including:
Please use the Comprehensive Programming Materials Order Form (updated 12/8/17) to order all Michigan Fitness products, including:
Individual objectives from the EPEC™ Classic K–5 curriculum are now available for purchase! Please use the EPEC™ Classic K–5 Individual Objectives form to order.

Solar Electric Fences
Solar energy for electric fencing is a practical solution to keeping livestock in and pests and predators out. Typically, a solar fence will have a 500 volt charge, enough to give a light, though harmless shock.
The situation of an electric fence-the remoteness and the need for a simple electrical system to power it - makes it an ideal opportunity to use solar (or wind) energy. These types of systems are in use as far north as northern Alberta.
As with other uses of solar PV in remote locations, a solar electric fence will require little (if any) maintenance. Typically, systems are equipped with battery backup, with enough supply to go two weeks without sunlight.
When positioning your solar panel, be sure that it is getting adequate sunlight. Be sure that:
- It is facing the sun directly and at the proper angle: position the panel at noon. If you have time, check on it once a month and adjust the angle with the sun's seasonal angle.
- It is unshaded.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) Juan Martin del Potro denies he has committed tax evasion in his native Argentina.
His spokesman Jorge Viale said Monday there was ''no evasion'' and all procedural steps were being followed to resolve the case.
The newspaper Perfil reported on Sunday that Argentine tax authorities had opened a case again Del Potro. The case is reported to involve prize money from 2010, the year after Del Potro won the U.S. Open.
Viale said in a statement to The Associated Press that ''while the lawyers for the firm that handles the financial statements (for Del Potro) have not seen the file, it is absolutely clear that there was no fraud.''
Del Potro has been sidelined since March following wrist surgery.
The Argentine tax office declined requests for comment.

A group of anglers in KwaZulu Natal are planning a shark fishing competition on the weekend of the 18th and 19th August. They've advertised in the Natal Deep Sea Rod and Reel Club newsletter and will catch and kill the sharks, not tag and release them. Their motivation is that their catches are often taken by sharks and "a number of anglers have now got together to find out for themselves what is going on with regards to the shark numbers", to quote from their newsletter.
In the guise of a very questionable charity event, they will target sharks over 20 kilograms and "donate" the fins through a local Asian buyer, and further donate potentially mercury contaminated meat to an underprivileged children's home. Contradicting their implications that there are too many sharks, they add that they cannot find any to satisfy their foreign clients who are only interested in catching sharks - another serious concern (see full details from newsletter on the AOCA website on the link What's Up). As it stands the competition is illegal as it goes against recreational permit conditions.
In light of the severe plight of shark populations worldwide, including in South Africa as depicted in our recent documentary Sharks in Deep Trouble, we cannot condone the unnecessary slaughter of animals that are in desperate need of protection. The motivation for this competition is unacceptable and not supported by scientists.
Considering the overwhelming slaughter of over 100 million sharks per year, which is driving many shark species to extinction, we fight an uphill battle to make a difference in saving them.
We need your help through this petition to stop this competition, and also to put pressure on Marine and Coastal Management to change the current recreational fishing limits of sharks of 10 per day per fisherman. We demand adequate scientific evidence, thus far lacking, to support this number, and failing which a precautionary approach for deciding daily shark catch limits. We've only got a few days and need all the support we can get to make a difference.
To enter the petition send your name, email address and comments to email@example.com
In the subject line add: Shark Petition, then forward this email to as many people as possible - the number of people who sign will determine the impact we have.
Thank you for helping us to help them!
I also encourage readers to CC copies of their disapproval to the Marine and Coastal Management (MCM) unit of the Department of Environment and Tourism (DEAT). They are responsible for enforcing fishing permits. As of now, the fishing permits allow 10 sharks per fisherman per day. South Africa is one of the last bastions of healthy inshore shark species. Sharks finning is already there and growing. Let's help try to keep the population of sharks there healthy.

All-Big West Teams in PDF Format
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Junior right-handed pitcher Joe Gardner was the lone UC Santa Barbara player to be named to the Big West's First Team, although the Gauchos had six players recognized in the annual awards voted on by league coaches, it was announced on Tuesday.
Senior first baseman Eric Oliver was voted to the Second Team while UCSB placed four players on the Honorable Mention list - Ryan Cavan, Brian Gump, Marty Mullins and Matt Valaika.
"Im pleased that we got six guys recognized," UCSB head coach Bob Brontsema said. "Obviously Joe had an outstanding year, as did the other guys, but this is such an outstanding conference and to get any recognition is a great accomplishment."
UC Irvine, which went 22-2 in conference play, swept the big awards with left-hander Daniel Bibona named as Pitcher of the Year, shortstop Ben Orloff as Player of the Year and Mike Gillespie the conference's Coach of the Year. The Anteaters placed five players on the First Team, as did Cal State Fullerton.
Gardner went 7-1 with a 3.40 ERA for the Gauchos this season, leading the team in nearly every pitching category. Despite not pitching this past weekend as he dealt with injury, Gardner was also among the conference's leaderboard in most every pitching statistic.
The junior from Fremont, Calif. ranked fourth in the Big West with 69 strikeouts while his ERA was sixth-best and his .252 batting average against was seventh. Gardner, who transferred from Ohlone College, pitched two complete games, both in conference play, and the Gauchos were 10-3 in games he started.
"I put Joe up for Pitcher of the Year but the years some of these other guys had at 10-1 was tough," Brontsema said. "Joe may be the best overall prospect, but some of those other guys had great years."
Oliver was the lone Gaucho to make the Second Team after leading the Gauchos with 48 RBI while batting .325. The Irvine, Calif. native led UCSB in batting (.389), slugging percentage (.633) and on-base percentage (.477) in Big West play while his 21 RBI during conference play also paced the team. Oliver was the only Gaucho to start every game this season.
"Eric put up a great year, especially in conference play," Brontsema said, "and was well worth the Second Team, if not better."
Gump led the Gauchos with eight home runs, which was ninth in the Big West, while his team-high 59 runs scored was fourth in the conference and his 22 stolen bases ranked third. The senior from Westminster, Calif. batted .323 in Big West games and his 25 runs scored in conference play led UCSB.
Valaika batted .343, which led the Gauchos, and his 45 RBI were second on the team behind Oliver and tied for 10th in the conference. The junior from Valencia, Calif. drove in 20 runs in conference play while hitting .325. His .545 overall slugging percentage also led the team.
Mullins' .358 batting average in conference play was second on the team behind Oliver's as the junior catcher scored 16 runs in Big West games. The Los Gatos, Calif. native also threw out 42% of runners attempting to steal.
Cavan batted .341 this season, which was second on the team, while scoring 50 runs and leading the club with his .435 on-base percentage. The Belmont, Calif. native's runs scored ranked eighth in the Big West while his on-base percentage was 10th. His 31 walks were second in the conference.
Earlier this year UCSB Athletics unveiled the BE Great initiative. BE Great is dedicated to maximizing leadership ability, strong on-campus interaction, and general welfare for all 450 student-athletes and Intercollegiate Athletics staff at UC Santa Barbara.

6-6-09 Nationals Park – Ruined.
My trip to Nationals Park today has been ruined by baby birds.
I had planned on making the trip down to Washington DC to see the Mets take on the Nationals today, and getting a third chance to snag a Citi Field ball. I had never been to Nationals Park before, so I was excited for the opportunity.
Then, by a twist of fate, my plans were undone.
A bird had built a nest in an old unused vent on the side of our house. We thought nothing of it at the time. Occasionally we would hear the birds inside the vent when they were being fed. Now, weeks later, the birds are grown, and they're still living in the vent. Tired of hearing the birds, my wife decided to get rid of them. She sprayed water into the vent, and four large birds flew out.
Later on that night (yesterday), my wife noticed that little tiny bugs were in the kitchen. Upon further inspection, they were everywhere. On the fridge, on the ceiling, on the cupboards, on the stove, on the microwave, on the kitchen table, and even in the freaking toaster. They were small brown bugs about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. My wife freaked. She sent me to wal mart to buy flea and tick spray while she started cleaning the area from top to bottom. The cleaning went on for hours, and into the night.
I figured that they were probably mites. There was one of two sources, two house plants in the kitchen that were recently brought in, or the birds nest.
The next morning, there were more bugs, mostly dead, all around the microwave and stove area. It appeared they were concentrated where the vent was.
I remembered last year taking my dog for a walk and picking up a birds nest that was on the ground. I remember watching thousands of little brown dots descend onto my hand and slowly move up my arm. I shook them all off, but that's something I wouldn't forget. Apparently, those same bugs that I ran into last year were the same bugs that were infesting the birds nest in the vent. The spraying of the water into the vent likely foreced the mites to scatter and seek refuge inside of our house.
So, I skipped my Washington DC trip and stayed home. The Orchin man came this afternoon. He determined that they were spider mites, which typically infest birds and their nests.
Disgusting. He sprayed our kitchen and all around our house. Cost? $267.
My wife and her sister are now busy cleaning the kitchen inside out, and throwing away a lot of things. Our toaster is in the trash can.
What an awful experience. I hate bugs. Absolutely hate them.
Hopefully I'll make it to Washington DC for at least one game this year. It looks to be an awesome stadium for snagging.
My next game will be during the week next week.

Telcos Deny Trying To Turn FCC's Open Network Diagnostics Into A Closed, Proprietary Affair
from the well-of-course-they-are dept
Recently, the FCC measurement program has backed sharply away from their commitment to transparency, apparently at the bidding of the telcos in the program. The program is now proposing to replace the M-Lab platform with only ISP-managed servers. This effectively replaces transparency with a closed platform in which the ISPs -- whose performance this program purports to measure -- are in control of the measurements. This closed platform would provide the official US statistics on broadband performance. I view this as scientifically unacceptable.The FCC keeps insisting that it's committed to openness -- but all too frequently seems to give in to telco demands. So this warning is concerning.
For the health of the Internet, and for the future of credible data-based policy, the research community must push back against this move.
For what it's worth, the telcos are claiming that Cerf is overreacting. In a response to his call for action, Verizon's David Young responded that there's nothing to see here, and that M-Lab and the telco efforts have co-existed and can continue to co-exist going forward.
Vint breathlessly suggests that the FCC is now backing away from this openness "at the bidding of the telcos" and claims the program is proposing to replace the M-Lab platform with only ISP-managed servers. THIS IS FALSE. ISPs have made no such request of the FCC nor has the FCC proposed to eliminate use of M-Lab's servers.As with many such disputes, the reality may be somewhere in between the two claims here. It seems like Cerf's fear is that by establishing the telcos' servers on equal footing with the M-Labs' open setup, it opens the door to replacing the M-Labs' efforts and then potentially locking up the data. Young is correct that the openness is mainly due to FCC policy at this point, but that policy is dependent on the current leadership of the FCC, which could change. At the very least, it would be nice to see a stated commitment to keeping the information open on an ongoing basis, so that there isn't any need to worry going forward.
What has been proposed is that, in addition to continuing to use the data collected via the M-Lab servers, the FCC and SamKnows may also rely on the ISP provided servers that have been in use since the beginning of the project. These ISP-provided servers meet the specifications required by SamKnows as do the M-Labs servers. In fact, it was only because of the presence of these non-M-Lab, ISP-donated servers, that SamKnows was able to identify problems with an M-Lab server that was affecting the results of the tests being conducted. M-Labs did not identify this server problem on their own. It was only fixed when SamKnows brought the issue to their attention. By the way, this problem forced the FCC to abandon a month's worth of test data, extend the formal test period and delay production of their report. Later, another M-Lab server location had transit problems that again affected results. This was the second M-Labs-related server problem in two months and once again, it was SamKnows, using the ISP-provided servers as a reference who identified the problem and brought it to M-Labs attention.

Vikram Pandit, who steered Citigroup through the 2008 financial crisis and the choppy years that followed, abruptly left the bank on Tuesday, stepping down as CEO and as a director.
The move shocked Wall Street, and Citigroup offered no explanation. There had been no hint of the departure Monday, when the bank discussed its strong third-quarter earnings in lengthy calls with analysts and reporters.
A second top executive resigned as part of the shake-up: President and Chief Operating Officer John Havens, who also served as CEO of Citi's Institutional Client Group.
Pandit's replacement, effective immediately, is Michael Corbat, 52, a Citigroup lifer who had been CEO of its Europe, Middle East and Africa division. Corbat joined the bank in 1983, just after graduating from Harvard.
The departures followed a clash between Pandit and the company's board over strategy and performance at some businesses, including the institutional clients group that was run by Havens, The Wall Street Journal reported. That group served global companies, banks and governments.
Pandit's departure from the board is a clear indication that "this was a complete and unexpected break" between Pandit, 55, and Citi directors, said Chris Whalen, a bank analyst and senior managing director of Tangent Capital Partners in New York.
"This shows how dysfunctional this organization is, to have this event unfold this way," Whalen said. "They should have told us yesterday, unless they didn't know."
If Pandit's disagreements with the board were recent, his trouble with shareholders had been brewing for far longer. They rejected his 2011 pay package in a non-binding vote this spring.
Since joining the bank in December 2007, Pandit has made at least $56.4 million, according to data compiled for The Associated Press by Equilar, an executive pay research firm.
That includes salary, bonuses, benefits and perks and stock awards. Pandit also made about $165 million from a buyout of his ownership stake in Old Lane Partners, a hedge fund he founded that was acquired by Citi, Equilar said.
Many shareholders were also frustrated by Pandit's failure to boost Citigroup's stock price, which was decimated during the 2008 financial crisis and remains far below where it was when Pandit took over.
The day Pandit was named CEO, Citi's stock closed at $332.30, after adjusting for a reverse stock split last year that reduced the total number of shares in circulation. It currently trades at about $36 a share.
Citi's stock has mainly kept up with its peers over the last year, but its longer-term record is dismal. It's by far the worst-performing major bank stock over the past five years, having lost 91 percent of its value in that time, versus a 6 percent gain for Wells Fargo and a 2 percent gain for JPMorgan Chase over the same period.
Still, on Monday, Citigroup's stock rose to its highest level since April after the bank said it beat analysts' expectations in the third quarter.
In a call with financial analysts that lasted an hour and 40 minutes, and a shorter call with reporters, no one asked bank executives how long Pandit planned to stay, or whether there was a succession plan in place.
During his five-year tenure, Pandit slimmed the bank by selling businesses, sought and then repaid multiple federal bailouts and helped right its balance sheet after billions in losses on bad mortgage investments made before he took the helm. It was a sharp departure from his predecessors, empire-builders with a hunger for big acquisitions.
Today, Citi is the country's third-largest bank, with $1.9 trillion in assets, according to the Federal Reserve. It trails only JPMorgan Chase, with $2.3 trillion, and Bank of America, with $2.1 trillion.
Yet the scars of the financial crisis have continued to plague Pandit and the bank he led, and will confront Corbat as he takes over.
Pandit was appointed CEO in December 2007, a period when the crisis was smoldering but had yet to engulf Wall Street. Some in government believed the bank was too slow to address its problems as they emerged in those months before the global financial system froze up in September 2008.
Among Wall Street banks, Citigroup was perhaps the closest to the center of the financial crisis. It participated in every step of the assembly line that transformed shoddy mortgages into complex investments and seeded them through the world financial system. When the housing market turned in 2007, Citigroup's fingerprints were all over the toxic loans it had originated, bundled and resold.
By the time Pandit took charge, Citigroup was considered the weakest of the Wall Street banks. Its stronger peers were forced to take billions in bailout money in October 2008 to divert attention from Citigroup, which needed the money to survive.
Citigroup was the only mega-bank, aside from Bank of America, to receive more than one round of taxpayer bailout money. It received a total of $45 billion in direct cash infusions in three separate transactions. The bank also benefited from billions more in government subsidies and guarantees against losses on bad investments.
As the crisis erupted in September 2008, Pandit suffered a bruising embarrassment. His bank announced it would buy the bulk of Wachovia, which was being crushed by lousy, complex mortgage investments. Citi would get a fire-sale price and emerge from the crisis as a rescuer, rather than a victim.
But four days later, Wells Fargo charged in with another offer. It elbowed Citi out of the way and won the approval of shareholders.
Citi survived those critical months, but its reputation was tattered. In March 2009, as the crisis raged, President Barack Obama ordered the Treasury Department to consider breaking up Citigroup and removing its executives, according to a behind-the-scenes book about the crisis published last year by journalist Ron Suskind.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner ignored Obama's request, according to Suskind's account. Geithner and the White House have disputed his version of events.
Pandit had another powerful opponent in Sheila Bair, an influential bank regulator who ran the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. during the crisis. Bair wanted the government to fire Pandit after the taxpayer bailouts and government guarantees. Geithner disagreed, and Pandit kept his job.
In an interview with CNBC after Pandit's departure was announced, Bair said Citigroup has lacked "a clear strategic direction and focus" under Pandit, and said shareholders have been unhappy.
She said that the bank would benefit from a CEO like Corbat with commercial banking experience, as opposed to Pandit's background in investment banking, and that the move would be beneficial for shareholders.
In a book published last month, Bair said Pandit had been installed as CEO by Robert Rubin, a former treasury secretary who became the bank's chairman in November 2007, "to clean up the mess at Citi."
"I thought he had been a poor choice," Bair wrote.
Pandit nursed the bank back to annual profitability in 2010. But Citigroup's troubles continued, even after the Treasury Department sold the last of its stake late that year.
Its stock price plunged 44 percent in 2011. So far in 2012, it has recovered about half that loss.
In March, Citigroup surprised observers by failing an annual financial checkup administered by the Federal Reserve, its main regulator. The Fed refused to let Citi raise its dividend because it said the bank, unlike any of its peers, did not have enough capital to pay shareholders and still withstand a financial crisis worse than 2008.
Investors voiced their frustration by voting this spring to reject Pandit's pay package for 2011, which was valued at $15 million and included an additional $10 million in retention pay that would vest in 2013 if he stayed on as CEO. Pandit received none of the retention money, a bank spokeswoman said.
He had accepted a token $1 in compensation in 2010. In 2008, Pandit's compensation package was valued at $38.2 million.
It was the first time shareholders dinged a Wall Street bank under a provision of the 2010 financial overhaul law that gives them a non-binding vote on executive pay.
Most recently, Citigroup received much less money than it had hoped for last month when it sold its share of the retail brokerage Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. The bad estimate forced Citigroup to take a heavy write-down.
Along with Bank of America, it is the only mega-bank still paying its shareholders only a token penny dividend each quarter.
Still, said Daniel Alpert, managing partner at the New York investment bank Westwood Capital LLC, Pandit did "pretty much all he can do to turn the bank around."
He said it will be hard for big banks to boost their share prices because of intense pressure from regulators to simplify their businesses. Since the financial crisis, the government's financial watchdogs have encouraged banks like Citigroup to become more manageable by eliminating non-essential business lines and focusing on their strengths. Pandit strived to do that, but some investors wondered if he had run out of tricks.
"There is some meaning to quit while you're ahead," Alpert said, noting that it's harder for executives to win massive pay packages when a company's stock is flat-lining.
CNBC reported that Pandit said in an interview that he had been thinking about leaving Citigroup for some time and that it was his idea to leave Tuesday.
After the company's earnings release Monday, it was clear that the company was performing well and had stabilized, Pandit said, according to CNBC. He said he called Chairman Michael O'Neill after the analyst call and told him he wanted to leave.
Pandit said the board was ready for this and that the way the situation was handled shows that the company is organized.
Asked whether there were any "bombs" in the horizon, he said, "I would not be leaving if I didn't feel that this company was in good shape," according to CNBC.
Both Pandit and Corbat sent memos to Citi's 262,000 employees early Tuesday. Pandit did not say why he was leaving, but gave the impression that he felt he had completed a mission.
"There is nothing better than our third quarter earnings announcement to demonstrate definitively that we have turned this company around," he wrote.
Corbat said he was humbled and excited, calling himself "a true believer in this company." He praised Pandit for leading Citi "back to its roots as a bank."
Corbat also noted the challenges ahead _ "regulatory, legislative and economic changes around the world present headwinds as we redefine our relationships with all of our stakeholders."
Gerard Cassidy, a banking analyst at RBC Capital Markets, said he thinks the change of guard will mean more businesses getting sold and more cost-cutting. O'Neill, the chairman, was famous for slashing expenses when he ran Bank of Hawaii Corp.
Other analysts speculated the bank may place less emphasis on Wall Street trading and helping companies sell stocks and bonds to the public, the so-called capital markets businesses in which Pandit had expertise. Instead, the focus could shift to traditional commercial banking, like lending to businesses and consumers, especially overseas.
Corbat will receive an annual base salary of $1.5 million and regular bonuses, Citigroup said Tuesday in a public filing.
Pandit joined Citigroup in 2007 when his hedge fund was acquired by the bank. He quickly rose to CEO in December 2007. Earlier, he had ascended to head of investment banking at Morgan Stanley before leaving in 2005 to form the hedge fund.
A native of India, Pandit attended Columbia University at 16 and completed a bachelor's degree in three years. He earned a doctorate in finance in 1986.
He is a naturalized citizen, and lives in New York with his wife and two children.

Waldo Fire Victims Bullied By Insurance Companies
Homeowners affected by the Waldo Canyon Fire feel like they are being bullied by their insurance companies.
Over 100 affected residents were present at a meeting Saturday and there are heated arguments and emotional outburst. A lot stood up for their families and spoke their minds about mistreatment of their fire insurance settlement claims.
The fire victims say they feel abused, neglected and bullied by their insurance companies.
"I've been intimidated, I've been harassed, I've been ignored and in the meantime I just want my home back to the pre-loss condition that my policy states I should have," said Mountain Shadows homeowner Judy Brinkman. "I'm not asking for anything, I don't want any money from the insurance companies that I am not owed."
The meeting addresses damage settlements, repairs, property replacement and customer service issues.
Families and homeowners were very emotional as they talked about health issues, improper damage evaluations, and unresponsive adjusters. Many said they are not being properly paid for their losses.
"Everyday you wipe off the dust, you wipe off the suit and ashes. And it got so hot inside the house, that our windows are separated from the house itself" said Peregrine Homeowner Julie Pruitt.
"They've like we don't have to cover that, or the other comment is always, prove that is from the fire. We're just in circular arguments, frustration, anger, resentment, there's just now where to go. You just feel like such a victim," said Brinkman.
The main issues brought up were : suit, ash and smoke damage, exterior house damage, insurance companies failure to investigate properly, non-responsive insurance adjusters, no time extensions, family health issues caused by the fire, damage not evaluated properly, under insured, suffering from additional costs, not being paid for their losses. Many asked for DORA to investigate their insurance companies, and how they are handling their claims.
"I'm a Vietnam veteran, I went over to Vietnam to protect the people of the United States, and I did my duty. That's why DORA has to do their duty, and state representatives have to do their duty," said Mountain Shadows homeowner Ron Haberkorn.
Families who just want to move on after the Waldo Canyon Fire, say the insurance woes are taking a huge emotional toll.
"People just need to be made whole and let people move on, but it's hard to move on when you don't have closure on getting things fixed, and having to struggle through that every day," said Pruitt.
The newly formed Catastrophic Insurance Complaints in Colorado (CICIC) Association held the meeting at the Colorado Springs Together Facility.
Residents had the chance to offer their issues in order to form some solutions in front of the Colorado Division of Insurance (DORA) as well as local and state leaders and legislators.
If you need help with your Waldo insurance issues, contact CICIC at 719-660-8158.

Sad To Watch: Disturbing Footage Of French Police Filmed Dragging African Immigrant Women & Taking Away Their Babies During A Protest!
"A video has emerged showing French police evicting African immigrants with babies and children during a housing protest in a Paris suburb. Police arrived in the north-east Parisian suburb of La Courneuve last Wednesday and asked a group of about 60 mostly women and children to move, said Michael Hajdenberg, a journalist with the French media organization Mediapart. The group had been living in the street since being evicted from their council homes on July 8 to make way for a new housing project, he said. When the group failed to respond to the request, Hajdenberg said police officers forcibly removed them. " CNN

Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ (Nitroplus & Bee Train)
Whoa. That came out of left field.
My instinctive reaction to anything getting directed by Mashimo is, I'm afraid, not very positive, but thinking about it more closely.... Phantom does involve female assassins. Perhaps he's the best choice possible!
And with a title this old getting a brand new TV series, even after getting made into an OVA a long time ago, is there hope for other Nitro+ titles as well??

Well, all I can see is another anime soon to be sent into dark history. The OVA is better off forgotten, the guys I know that played Phantom of Inferno were disgusted by the anime's character designs, and while I've been a Bee Train fan ever since MADLAX, I'm not sure if I'll stand another great visual novel ruined. CHAOS;HEAD anime is a great adaptation story-wise, but it's such a visual and atmospheric disservice to the original that, taking Bee Train's recent record into account, I'm seriously in doubt how this newest anime will turn out to be. Bluntly, I'm not particularly excited about it, and I'm usually very excited about Nitroplus' stuff.

Bee Train? They usually take 2 weeks to release a single episode. Some consider this a high quality of work, while others see it as laziness.
The anime itself, "Phantom" hopefully is an anime adaption of the original game that I never had a chance to play.

Call me very very hopeful. And yes, Bee Train might be a decent pick to do the material.
Bluntly put, Phantom of Inferno is among the 3 best visual novels I've ever played (and I've played quite a bit). The English version is a little bit kludgy to play due to its "use it on any DVD player" nature, but it's offering a very riveting storyline. Noir meets KimiNozo, so to say.
I consider this a shot for redemption. The 3-shot OVA was an unmitigated disaster, but with a normal fullscale TV anime, they should be able to properly convert the material. I'm very very hopeful. Let's see how it goes.
One major advantage I see: There are several plausible endings for this show. This could translate into a very exciting finish, if done right...

Thinking about this alittle more now.
I think I have more hope for it cause I realize the problem I've had with BEETRAIN works is that their stories for their original works don't really go anywhere (I don't really know much about their manga adaptations).
And so with this being based off Nitro+'s visual novel there is a more hope, because they will have to do alot to completely screw up the story.
So lets hope for good presentation.

Having never played the game, and not really remembering the OVA very well -- so I don't remember if anyone key actually died or not -- I still get the sense that this may not actually be a story based on the game... and not just because of the title. It may be a new story with new manga? Speculating; I have no clue.
It's a little bit dissappointing that there's no Yuki Kajiura in the mix, but I tend to be a bit nostalgic in that respect. It looks like there's been quite a bit of staff turnover in general over the last couple of projects, and Mashimo is probably trying new things with new talent. Like blood... this may be his chance to have the "bloody Kirika" he wanted.

Honestly, the one thing I loved about Phantom was the one thing both Madlax, Noir, and El Calador la Bruja(too lazy to find the name =_=) didn't; a freakiin' male protaganist .
OVA ? What OVA ? I hate to even remember it. I bought the LE of the first episode which came with a poster, some PC music disc w/5 songs, and some other book for $100. Worst purchase I made in my entire anime career. It made me respect the japanese fans for paying such high prices.
They're obviously going to go with the canon ending, but personally,

Character designs at first give me mixed feelings. But ultimately I think they are good.
Eins: She doesn't have the "sharp" look that her original design had. But that's not really a problem. And yes. It is similar to Kirika's hair.
Zwei: No complaints at all. Better than the OVA's Zwei at the very least.
Claudia: I love the long hair look! Looks quite different from the original design (not in a negative way). They managed to keep the sinister aura in her expressions.

Can't they pick anyone else besides Bee Fucking Train? Their pan shots of eyes is irritating, their aversion to blood despite violence is annoying and the preference of fluffy style over gritty realism sucks.
I love the game, hated the OVA. Now the TV series will rape the excellent story to perfection. There is no justice in this world, sometimes.

1. Noir is too much on style and for such violent story, the aversion of blood and invincible assassin is plain annoying.
2. Madlax almost the same as above. Remember the evening gown in jungle scene?
3. Cazador Bruja is little more relaxed but largely plain experience.
Both BoTI and POI has very gritty and dark feel to it, I just don't think Bee Train is up to the job to adapt it properly.

Oooooh, nice one Toua! Lots of interesting informations, for example the main cast:
Ein: Takagaki Ayahi (Noe from True Tears)
Zwei: Irino Miyu (Saji Crossroad from Gundam 00)
Cal: Sawashiro Miyuki (Tsugumi from Kannagi)
Claudia McCullum: Hisakawa Aya (Skuld from A!MG - well, more like Natsume Maya from Tenjou Tenge)
Lizzy: Watanabe Akeno (Tiamat from Shakugan no Shana - Wilhelmina's contractor)
No voice for Mio yet, but she's clearly shown in one of the screenies, so we'll obviously get the full story of all three chapters this time (thank god!)

Relationships Between Sensory Processing and Theory of Mind in Children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders
Deficits in sensory processing and impairment in Theory of Mind (ToM) are two commonly observed symptoms among children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs). Mindreading is a 4-step mechanism that involves the ability to process sensory information (Baron-Cohen, 1995), and this capability is a critical step that allows humans to process another's intention, feelings, and emotions (i.e., the ability of Theory of Mind). The current study explored the potential relationship between impairment in sensory processing and deficit in Theory of Mind in 20 males aged 3 to 15 years 11 months who were diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorders. Results of this study showed that 80% of the participants had definite sensory deficits, 10% met criteria for probable difference in sensory deficits, but only 10% demonstrated typical performance sensory as assessed by the Short Sensory Profile. With regard to impairment in Theory of Mind, 80% of the participants experienced impairment as assessed by the Childhood Asperger's Syndrome Test. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between a child's overall struggles with sensory deficits and impairment in Theory of Mind. A significant correlation was found between tactile deficits and impairment in Theory of Mind as well as under-responsive sensory deficits and impairment in Theory of Mind.

Reducing Discrimination Toward Transgender Individuals: The Need for Psychoeducation in Medical Schools
Discrimination against the transgender community is pervasive and many transgender individuals experience discrimination in medical settings. In one study, 19% of transgender respondents reported that they were refused medical care and 28% of respondents postponed medical care due to prior physician discrimination (Grant et al., 2011). Although education on transgender issues appears to be lacking in medical schools (Xavier et al., 2004), brief interventions have been effective in increasing medical providers' knowledge of transgender issues, including psychosocial and medical needs. This poster highlights the need for education on transgender issues in medical schools and provides recommendations for specific psychoeducational interventions.
Third Place:
Rachael Holloway, MA
The Neuropsychology of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury in Veterans
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) affect significant numbers of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. These disorders frequently co-occur, leading to overlapping symptoms. Persistent Postconcussive Symptoms (PCSs) are often considered to be neuropsychological symptoms of mild TBI, but recent research suggests that they may be more closely correlated with PTSD than with mild TBI. The correlation between PTSD and these neuropsychological outcomes highlights the importance of considering the neuropsychology of trauma itself, rather than just traumatic injury. Beginning to consider this will prompt clinicians to screen for neuropsychological symptoms whenever PTSD is present, leading to more thorough care.
Honorable Mention:
Marlene M. Gonzalez
Stress, Coping, and Wellness Among Women of Color in Graduate Studies
With the demands and pressures of graduate school, it is important to examine the factors that contribute to the well-being of ethnically diverse women in higher education. The current poster will include a literature review of the perceived stressors and coping strategies that affect the well-being of women of color in graduate programs. This review will focus on the use of mentorship and spirituality as tools to enhance the graduate school experience. Based on this review, recommendations regarding the ways in which women of color can maximize their well-being, while in graduate school, will be presented.

Community Development Block Grant Funds in Disaster Relief and Recovery
Description: This report discusses how Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs are funded by Congress and what they have been used for in recent years: recovery efforts following terrorist attacks, riots, and natural disasters. The 111th Congress has approved $100 million in CDBG funds to help states and communities undertake disaster recovery activities in presidentially declared disaster areas affected by severe storms and flooding during the period from March 2010 through May 2010. The act limited distribution of these funds to states where the entire state was declared a disaster area (Rhode Island) and to states where at least 20 counties within the state were declared disaster areas (Tennessee, Kentucky, and Nebraska).

Blenders are not considered juicers because they do not separate the juice from the fiber. Read more about that here. They do serve an excellent purpose in the kitchen to make things such as salad dressings, smoothies, sauces, soups, and the like.
We offer several commercial-grade blenders, that are much more powerful than the household blenders purchased at a local department store. The Blendtec is NSF approved, and is usually found at juicebars and other commercial establishments.
We find that while most home blenders are ok for occasional use, people on a raw/living food diet (or people that demand the most of their appliances), heavily depend on their blender, for the many recipes, and generally require more power than a $30 blender can offer. (Most "household" blenders are rated at 350 watts, the Total Blender is rated at 1500 watts, more than 4x more watts)
Still not sure which one to purchase? Take a look at our comparison chart, that gives a side by side comparison (with pictures and specifications) of the commercial-grade blenders we offer.

Herbie Hancock's memoir is scheduled to come out this fall.
Publisher Viking announced Thursday that the Grammy-winning musician's book, titled "Herbie Hancock: Possibilities," has a release date of Oct. 28. The memoir will be co-written by Lisa Dickey, who has also worked on books by Jane Lynch and Cissy Houston.
Hancock's deal with Viking was first announced in 2012. A former member of Miles Davis' band, the 74-year-old Hancock is known for such compositions as "Rockit" and "Cantaloupe Island." He is one of the few jazz performers to achieve widespread success with pop audiences.

So far I have pulled some fabric and started tracing templates. Perhaps this weekend I might get some stitching down..
Just a couple of other things that I have found in my morning reading. Have a look at this stitching one women did for her hubby. Ahhh...I love my DH, but I would just use plain paper and a pen!
And lastly I leave you with another squirrel pic. This little lady(?) is quite brave and didn't seem to mind me taking pictures. I do wonder if it is the same one I've always taken pictures of and perhaps she knows the drill :o)
Have a good weekend!!
Until next time...
