"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." George Orwell; 1984
Unfortunately, the practice of medicine is fraught with politics, and becoming more so with every passing day. Medical Politics (or political medicine) have undoubtedly brought us some of our best examples of Doublespeak, but my all time favorite is Evidence-Based Medicine. In a nutshell, EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE is, "the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients". Sounds wonderful doesn't it? Sort of 'Utopic'. The problem is, EBM is not Utopia. It's a myth. A hoax. A joke. And a great example of Doublespeak. And let's be brutally honest with each other for a moment. If the "current best evidence" (their words, not mine) is what health care professionals are now using to make vital medical decisions for you and your family; what exactly were they using to make those same decisions five years ago ---- before EBM became the catchphrase dujour? Why do I sound so harsh when discussing this topic? Let me give you one example of hundreds.
About two hours ago, Jill and her husband left my office. They had traveled all the way from Minnesota to see me. You see, Jill has been dealing with life-altering CHRONIC NECK PAIN for the better part of the past 5 years. The thing about her case that is dog-common to most of the other people that I treat, is that she had been through tens of thousands of dollars worth of Evidence-Based Care prior to her appointment with me with nothing to show for it, but a lot of red ink from the debit side of her checkbook. The way she was treated was not only common, it was borderline criminal (who says that crime doesn't pay?). My guess is that if you asked her, she would tell you that she has had her fill of EBM.
The really crazy thing about this story is that Jill actually told her doctors exactly what was wrong with her ---- right down to the tiniest details. They ignored her. They treated her like she was ANXIOUS / DEPRESSED. They told her that her problems were the result of OLD AGE / DEGENERATION. When she mentioned FASCIAL ADHESIONS, they treated her like she was off her rocker. Instead of doing anything to really help her, they busied themselves with giving her CORTICOSTEROID INJECTIONS, prescribing all sorts of drugs (she rarely took them), doing crazy procedures like Radio Frequency Ablations (burning nerves via a procedure also known as Facet Rhizotomy), and suggesting still more invasive treatments --- and even surgeries. Thankfully, their daughter found us online.
No; I am not able to help EVERY PERSON who comes to see me. However, if you are thinking about making the trip, it might just be a big step toward a new life. Take a few minutes to check out our VIDEO TESTIMONIAL PAGE. We hear about example after example of scientists fudging their results and faking the "evidence" on an almost daily basis (HERE is a great example). But as I have always said; you can't fake good results. The PROOF IS IN THE 'PROVERBIAL' PUDDING.

Press Release
Sanders Stops at FDR's Springwood
HYDE PARK, N.Y. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday visited the Hudson River Valley home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Sanders called Roosevelt "one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country" and said "there is a lot we can learn from Roosevelt's life."
The 32nd president "created a government that stands up for working people, the poor and the sick," Sanders added as he toured the grounds of the Springwood estate and paid his respects at the gravesite of the longest-serving president in American history.
Roosevelt battled his era's elite. He called them "economic royalists." Sanders today calls them the "billionaire class." Like Roosevelt in the last century, Sanders has made taking on Wall Street and big banks a centerpiece of his campaign for the White House.
In a 1936 address announcing his second New Deal, Roosevelt spoke about how reckless bankers, Wall Street speculators and business monopolies "had begun to consider the government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs."
In this year's presidential campaign, Sanders has railed against the recklessness, fraud and illegal behavior of Wall Street bankers who plunged the economy into the most severe economic downturn since Roosevelt was inaugurated in 1933.
Sanders' stop at the Roosevelt homestead was a break from the campaign trail ahead of next Tuesday's New York primary.
Earlier Tuesday at stops in Rochester and Syracuse, Sanders had criticized Democratic Party rival Hillary Clinton for taking $15 million in campaign donations and millions in lucrative speaking fees from Wall Street bankers and other special interests after she resigned as secretary of state.

text: Public Mobility Concept for Shanghai utilizes Augmented Reality as it guides users through a mixed-reality future city. The HaiPai has two modes, Daydreaming and Social - shown here in this video of a in use scenario. While not in use, HaiPai seems as though its in a colorful "dreamy" state, similar to the auroras with its colorful geometric star serving as a beacon on the streets. Then the HaiPai becomes "social" once it sees a potential user and points out where they could be heading to if they use the vehicle,... Therefore, allowing the HaiPai to become a guide within the modern city, just as the stars were a guide to many people of the past. Applying animism to simple yet dynamic interaction design makes for a memorable experience of the city of Shanghai.

Demba Ba played his first game last night for Newcastle, against Sporting Kansas, but he had a very quiet game.
Demba Ba – not fully fit yet
But the 26 year-old is still not fully fit physically, and certainly not match fit, and that's the reason for the pre-season of course, to get sharpened up.
We've taken to Demba Ba quickly, because he seems such a a warm and down to earth guy, and we're hoping we'll take to him even more when he starts smashing in all those goals for Newcastle next season – hopefully.
The Senegal striker seemed a yard off the pace last night, and he needs to quickly get up to par as far as both his physical and match fitness are concerned.
But he'll have a full three weeks come Saturday to do that, because that's the first game of the season, when the lads take on Arsenal at St. James' Park.
We have to hope that both Fabregas and Nasri are not Gunners by then, and both seem to want out at the London club.
Demba Ba talked to the Evening Chronicle today about his aims:
"For me personally, the main thing is to work as hard as I can as an individual for the team."
"I have to contribute as much as I can." "It's not just being focused on scoring goals."
"Everything else must be right as well, and you have to be part of the team."
"If I'm getting into the positions and getting chances, I know I'm doing the right thing." "I just want to do my job."
"Things have been going very well out here in America, and we are all working hard."
"These are good, competitive games for us to start off with – we aren't here to have fun."
"We need to train hard, and make sure we win the games as well, even though they're friendlies."
And the Newcastle fans seemed to have quickly taken to the big man, who they are looking to for many goals next season, and it seems like a mutual admiration society.
The 10 times capped Senegal International continued:
"Fans in Newcastle have given me a very warm welcome, and I hope that continues."
"I look forward to seeing more of them and the city." "We're counting down to the start of the season."
We are hoping that the news today that Newcastle have not given up on PSG striker Mevlut Erdinc is true, and that Newcastle can indeed sign this player some time in early August.
We need another striker to help Demba Ba get all those goals for the side next season.
Comments welcome.

In the bigger picture people should of expected our lads to struggle against US teams because this is our pre season whereas its mid season for the american teams they are fully match fit and very focus
Our lads are still finding their grove and learning how each other play. Also the heat will play a huge part.
Bring on the real season soon am having withdrawl issues here!
Yes with Ben Arfa already injured and out for 3 weeks minimum we definitely aren't having any fun. Is Ashley enjoying the show? But we don't have to worry even though we already have 3 or 4 injured players because we have such a deep, skilled team with the likes of Xisco, Smith, Routledge (whoops he is leaving), Guthrie (whoops he is injured), and Ferguson (whoops he is injured) ready to replace our first team regulars right Ashley? Ashley are you there?

The 14th annual National Breastfeeding Week kicks off today with the Department of Health (DoH) hoping to use the event to raise awareness about the benefits of breast feeding.
While it is entirely a mother's choice as to whether she breastfeeds her baby or not, there are a significant number of benefits for those who decide that breast is best.
The DoH hopes the event will help provide mothers with the support that they need and the reassurance that they can breastfeed whenever and wherever they need to.
In addition to the usual local community initiatives, this year's campaign will also feature television advertisements and radio "filler" announcements which will run from now until the end of the year.
Previous events have seen awareness ribbons being given out, fancy dress support groups for new mothers to discuss their feeding options and a survey carried out to find the most breastfeeding friendly places in the UK.
Mothers who want to know more about breastfeeding or to find out more about what is happening in their area are invited to visit http://www.breastfeeding.nhs.uk or click here for the Bounty You and Your Newborn guide for more information about breastfeeding.

Graphene holds enormous promise for transistors and other electronic devices (see main text). But it is already making an impact in the arcane world of high-energy physics. That's because when electrons move through graphene, they act as if their mass is zero—behavior that makes them look more like neutrinos streaking through space near the speed of light. At such "relativistic" speeds, particles don't follow the usual rules of quantum mechanics. So physicists realized several years ago that the novel material might provide a test bed for studying relativistic physics in the lab.

Time Mage
Saran D'Mor is the daughter of Yarin D'mor, King of Adrid. Her mother died when she was very young, and many speculate that she committed suicide to escape her husband. Saran was raised like a son and taught to fight and lead armies. As such, she lacks the qualities present in most noble women. Saran is passionate about deposing her father and placing someone more worthy on the throne, but does not desire that position for herself. She wants to leave the title behind and spend her remaining days living quietly with the two men that she cares for, Keleir, and his brother, Rowe. Saran D'Mor is a Time Mage.
Fire Mage
Keleir was born cursed with the soul of a Rauke at war with his own. A Rauke is a creature forged from the excess matter left over at the birth of a universe, and can only exist by taking a human child as a host. Like all children born with a Rauke, Keleir was surnamed Ahriman, which means darkness. From the time he was born, until he turned five, his village tortured him in the hopes that it would save him from his curse, but it ended up unleashing another, more terrible one instead. He killed his father and brought a Blood Curse upon himself. He fled and was taken in by the Adrid army, where he fought for them and earned the bloody reputation: Lifesbane. For thirteen years the Rauke was in control of Keleir's body until Saran found a way to give his consciousness the reins again. Keleir has spent the last five years atoning for his sins by helping the rebellion he almost crushed and fighting to keep the Rauke at bay. Keleir Ahriman is a Fire Mage.
Lightning Mage
Rowe Blackwell was raised to fear and loath his brother, Keleir, but never did. The two banded together against their abusive parents until Keleir ran away in the middle of the night after killing his father. His mother later remarried. When Rowe was ten, his mother sold him to the army in lieu of their taxes. Once in the army, he was reunited with Keleir and followed him down the black path the Rauke took him. Rowe grew increasingly disgusted with himself and what he was doing to innocent people. He attempted to starve himself to death as punishment, but Saran nursed him back to health and showed him the path to the rebellion. He worked along side her for two years before Keleir joined their cause. Rowe Blackwell is a Lightning Mage.
Time Mage | King
Yarin was the best friend to the King of Adrid, Dante Vanguard, before he was driven mad by visions from the Vel d'Ekaru, also known as The Living God. The Living God is a being foretold to bring about the destruction of the world in order to purify it. The visions urged him to seize power and lay the foundations for the Living God's rise. The economy of Adrid was declining and the might of its military wavered. Yarin used this to convince a group of nobles and military officials to let him seize the throne. He killed Dante, and most of the royal family, before taking Dante's daughter, Rebecca, as his wife. This meant that the Core, the soul of the world, would accept the legitimacy of his rule. Yarin D'Mor was a Time Mage, but his illness has stripped him of his magic.
Madam Ophelia is a Healer at the capitol in Andrian. Healers are typically women gifted with the ability to mend wounds, but hold no other elemental magic. They also cannot heal their own injuries. Madam Ophelia, like many Healers, believes in the Grand Feminine, a woman of power who will forge a path for the domination of male leaders and usher in prosperity and peace.
Ice Mage
Odan Marki was an orphan Ice Mage taken in by the army, as most children with the promise of power are. He was raised in the palace walls from infancy to adulthood and views the King with reverence. He sees Yarin as his father figure. He hates Saran because of her willful defiance of her father and her disrespect. He silently holds a competitive need to outshine her in the hopes of winning Yarin's favor.
Water Mage | Rebel Leader
Ishep Darshan was a Water Mage in the Adrid army during the rule of Dante Vanguard. He was friends with both Dante and Yarin D'mor. He was also in love with Rebecca Vanguard, Saran's mother. He stayed through the coop that gave Yarin the throne, but when Rebecca died, he broke away from the kingdom and founded the rebellion that Saran, Rowe, and Keleir secretly fight in.
"Maybe I am. Maybe that's the feeling. This electric connectivity when we touch, when we are near, and maybe that's why he hates you so much. You are the redeemer of my soul, Saran. You balance me."
— Keleir Ahriman

Talking of fairies
I realise that I have fallen asleep on the sofa
I hear the gentle thud of him getting out of bed and going into my bedroom followed by "Mummy, muuuummmmy, are you downstairs?" I manage to wake myself up enough to say "U-huh".
The graceful patter of a herd of elephants then echoes through the house as he trundles down the stairs and he appears at the living room door clutching his puppy dog (teddy borrowed from Grandma).
After asking very nicely if he can put the television on he squeezes himself onto the sofa and I am immediately awake with the sound of the Wot Wots whilst I try my best to open my eyes.
I have to admit it takes me to at least 6.45 before I am awake and coherent. Tor turns the television off and decides that what I need is for him to put his One Direction CD on at full whack and dance around in his superman onesie!
It did make me smile.
After the normal morning routine of Tor eating his Weetabix whilst watching Ben and Holly, me having a shower and shouting downstairs at least fifteen times for him to get his school uniform on, I then go downstairs to do the final push to get us out the door. We have managed to get to the stage where coats and shoes go on he says....
"Mummy, can we make a fairy house?"
So in true tired Mummy style whilst physically pushing him out of the front door I mutter the likes of "yes of course we can honey when we get home".
The school run and walk to work goes as normal, a busy day engulfs me and before I know it its six pm and we are walking home backwards singing 'you can fly, you can fly' from Disney's Peter Pan film. We get in the door both ravenous and I am picking up the trail of coats, gloves, shoes and book bag that have suddenly littered the floor.
"Mummy.....so this fairy house, where should we make it?"
Woah, its 6.15pm, I am tired, I am hungry, I have just stepped on some lego!
I am trying to remember....Postive Me, Positive Tor, Positive Life whilst my stomach is shouting 'food, food, food'!
So I clear the kitchen floor, I put down the plastic sheets, I get out all the glitter, paint, glue, sticky on things. Ask Tor to put on his pj's so he doesn't get paint on his school uniform. Boil the kettle, get the frozen beans out, get the smash ready, put the oven on, stick in the quiche. Pick up Tor's pants and socks, put them in the washing machine, put his pj's back the right way round whilst he stands on his head giggling.
Tor is enjoying himself. I just want food.
Dinners on.
Together we put all the different glitters in a pot and add some white paint. He starts painting. The beans bubble over. We mix in red and he loves the pink it makes. He paints some more. He adds green and orange. We have made a poo colour. He thinks its hilarious.
And then...."Mummy, it needs a sign post!" Well yes, it most certainly does. We find card, we find a pencil. He cuts, he draws, he glues and sticks.
I turn round from the oven and he is sitting there beaming from ear to ear.
"Mummy, do you think the fairies will like this?"
Oh yes I do. What a proud Mummy. I am not hungry anymore. All I want to do is shout to the world about how amazing my little boy is.
"Mummy.........when is dinner ready?"

Today I had a stall at the Hexham Christmas Market,and Robyn and I were busy setting up the stall at 8am. The weather was kind, and very mild compared to recent days and weeks, most of the snow having thawed in the last couple of days. I was just outside the Abbey and a steady stream of shoppers were entertained by choirs, bands and dancers. As the morning wore on I managed to relax and actually enjoy the occasion. My Mum and Dad came to help and Mum as well as being an excellent sales woman, solved a tricky problem we were having with wind blowing things around on the stall, with the aid of a table cloth and some sellotape.
Having lost some confidence in the wreaths I had been making, I was greatly heartened to completely sell out of wreaths. The willow and Alder wreaths were particularly popular, as were the twisted Hazel ones. I have learnt a great deal from today and hope to return to the christmas market next year. I have several orders to fulfill this week and will try to sell some wreaths from the house too.

This is a new Christmas bracelet I made. I got the idea from a pattern by Jane Eborall. I changed up how the name beads are added and how the outer chain is done.
Also I tatted these Christmas wreath earrings for a lady. They are some of my favorite Christmas earrings to make.

Three different types of sales taxes are levied in Canada. A business is required to pay one or more of these taxes depending on the business's geographic location. Since each province or territory may have its own detailed nuances in the tax code, it is best to consult a tax professional regarding your business's sales tax before remitting your tax obligation each year. Learn more about these sales taxes, and find out which of these taxes are due in each of the provinces.
Provincial Sales Tax, Goods and Services Tax, and Harmonized Sales Tax
The provincial sales tax, the goods and services tax, and the harmonized sales tax are the three different sales taxes levied in Canada.
- PST is a sales tax levied by the individual province.
- GST is a value-added tax levied by the Canadian federal government.
- HST is a value-added tax that is a blend of the PST and GST; it is collected by the Canadian Revenue Agency and disbursed to provinces.
What Types of Tax Are Due Where
Depending on the province where a business is located, it will have to charge either a combination of PST and GST, GST only, or HST only.
Provinces Where PST and GST Are Due
A combination of PST and GST is due in the following provinces:
- British Columbia: A 5% GST and a 7% PST are due, for a total tax of 12%.
- Manitoba: A 5% GST and an 8% PST are due, for a total tax of 13%.
- Quebec: A 5% GST and a 9.975% PST are due, for a total tax of 14.975%.
- Saskatchewan: A 5% GST and PST are due, for total tax of 10%.
Some of these provinces have additional special tax situations. For example, Saskatchewan has a separate 10% liquor consumption tax. Quebec has a 5% tax on books, and Manitoba has a 5% tax on lodging.
Provinces Where Only GST Is Due
There are four provinces or territories where only GST is due. In all cases, the GST is only 5%, bringing the total tax due for these territories to 5%.
- Alberta
- The Northwest Territories
- Nunavut
- Yukon
Alberta also has a 4% tax on lodging and a 4% tax on hotel room fees.
Provinces Where Only HST Is Due
There are five provinces or territories where HST (blending GST and PST) is due. These provinces, along with their total tax rates, are:
- New Brunswick: 15% (a 5% GST and a 10% PST)
- Newfoundland and Labrador: 15% (a 5% GST and a 10% PST)
- Nova Scotia: 15% (a 5% GST and a 10% PST)
- Ontario: 13% (a 5% GST and a 8% PST)
- Prince Edward Island: 15% (a 5% GST and a 10% PST)

All my life I've dreamt of seeing a beautiful field of sunflowers. Anywhere else I've lived, sunflowers seemed to be the rare commodity. When I found out Thailand grew huge amounts of sunflowers, I was ecstatic and could not wait. Sunflower season usually runs from December to February. I would suggest going in December, as by the time I went in the middle of January the flowers seemed to be losing their strength and petals. It was still fantastic nonetheless.
I started the trip in Lopburi, although Saraburi (the most popular) and Phetchabun also have sunflower fields. We took the scooter to north Lopburi late morning and headed north to an area called Khok Samrong, there was little posters every couple of miles to direct us in the right way. It was about an hour drive, so make sure you've got a hat and sunscreen for the intense Thai sun. Probably the best part about this field is that it's not close to a major highway so was crowd free.
It was incredibly beautiful! It's not just a biased opinion because I love yellow and sunflowers happen to be my favorite, truly it is an amazing sight for everyone. You can spend some time walking around and taking pictures as it's the perfect backdrop. It's free to check them out but there are a couple of vendors outside so make sure you buy a little something from them at the end.
It took 25 years but it was so worth it. Also, just a little extra tip. Try to plan some inside activities afterward because that heat is just draining. I hope this helps and I'd love to hear back if any of you have been to the sunflower fields in Thailand!

I'm too ;-) Ok, since I am the one going to make the change to the CVS, and since with lazy consensus Carsten's who-committs-chooses-the-name, I therefore hint that I might commit the change in a directory called "blocks". Why? Simple. A "module" will soon be a directory that contains 1) Avalon component(s) 2) Cocoon component(s) 3) resources 4) examples 5) configuration info Example of a jsp module 1) org.apache.cocoon.components.jsp.* 2) org.apache.cocoon.generation.JspGenerator 3) - 4) jsp samples 6) jsp.xconf Example of a jsp.cob 1) org.apache.cocoon.components.jsp.* 2) org.apache.cocoon.generation.JspGenerator 3) - 4) jsp samples 6) jsp.xconf 7) cocoon.xcob (cob descriptor) As you see, the only difference is the existence of a descriptor and of a mechanism for Cocoon to plugin the cob automagically, instead of during the build. So I see this as a first step to blocks. Once they are refactored in their directory it will be easier to make the blocks work. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi email@example.com - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, email: firstname.lastname@example.com

It's a 2013 Holiday Gift test print, with a different color red than what was used in the final s/n print. It also has an untrimmed border that shows the alignment symbols and pantone color codes. Unfortunately, the print was "destroyed" (ripped in half), but I still think its a cool addition to my collection. Does anyone have any info on this/where it possibly came from? The seller was extremely vague on how he acquired it, I'm assuming it either leaked out from Shep's shop or the printers before the final colorway was approved, he also gave me the impression that he had more than one copy. Pics below, I took one comparing the red/orange color to the s/n version I have hanging on my wall.

Healthy Outlook: Senior tennis class combines fun and fitness
photo by: Mackenzie Clark
Ann Anderson describes her job as "frosting on frosting."
A University of Kansas graduate, Anderson has held several jobs throughout her career, but she's carried her identity as a tennis player everywhere she's gone. Now 65, she's working her dream job as a coach at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.
She's played since her mother gave her a taped-up racket with half the handle chopped off — sized for a 4-year-old — and allowed her to cross the street and go play at the court she'd stared at longingly through her home's window. Now she's been certified as a coach for 12 years, and she's sharing her knowledge with other folks her age — and several who are older.
Shortly after the beginning of the new year, Anderson started teaching a weekly class for seniors. From 10:30-11:30 on Friday mornings, a group of roughly 20 to 25 seniors get together and hone their skills at JTC, 233 Rock Chalk Lane.
Anderson has welcomed a lot of people who haven't played for years. She said she likes to ask who was president at the time students bought their last rackets.
"That's kind of a nonoffensive way to say, 'How long has it been since you played?'" Anderson said.
photo by: Mackenzie Clark
For those whose last purchase was during the Jimmy Carter era, an upgrade might make playing a lot more feasible.
"Maybe they played until they were 40, and they started getting tennis elbow injuries," Anderson said. "With the new rackets and strings, they're so light. Some of these rackets are about 9 ounces, so a lot less injuries. We're very careful here at KU."
Playing tennis offers seniors a lot of benefits, Anderson said. As a cognitive sport, tennis can help improve coordination and help to negate some of the risks that come naturally with aging.
"As we age, obviously, our mobility declines a little bit. We can't move like a 20-year-old," she said. "But we can get smarter about where the ball is going, and sometimes with seniors, maybe we'll just play half the court. You don't have to play the whole court."
So you don't have to be a "Pistol Pete" Sampras or a Billie Jean King to partake in this class, and no one is going to bark at you to drop and give them 20. The classes are all taught by certified instructors, including the former Lawrence High tennis coach of 30-plus years, Dick Wedel.
"Usually, we play an hour, and there's probably over half of these players that come back out for another half-hour, so it's kind of at your own pace," Anderson said.
For Grace Endacott Brooks, 85, of Lawrence, finding the class — and folks to play with on a consistent basis — was an answer to a dilemma.
"I never wanted to come out and do it by myself or try to find people," she said.
photo by: Mackenzie Clark
Her closest friends are now dependent upon canes and walkers, she said. She noted a phrase that has become like a mantra for her: "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
"I'm very lucky. So far I have my mind," Endacott Brooks said with a laugh.
Anderson said the class is a good alternative to other forms of cardiovascular exercise.
"With the equipment now, (tennis is) so much safer and easier on the body than it used to be. But I think most people, myself included — I'm 65 — should be going to the gym more," she said. "I like to do weights, but I'd rather play an hour of tennis than do 30 minutes on the treadmill."
The class isn't just about tennis and physical activity, though. There's free coffee available after each session, and the ensuing conversation is a key part of the fun.
"One of the things I've always found teaching senior tennis is the social interaction as we get older — people tend to be more at home; maybe they lose touch with their family," Anderson said. "This group has exchanged phone numbers, and that's 20 new people (who have) met each other, become friends."
One of the quirkier features of the final class of the first session on Feb. 2 was when Scott Weir, of Topeka, swapped the racket he used in class for his modified version: The retired environmental scientist converts cigar boxes and tennis rackets into electric guitars in his spare time, and he provided entertainment as the group enjoyed complimentary coffee and cinnamon rolls.
photo by: Mackenzie Clark
Also, KU tennis coach Todd Chapman stopped by to answer some questions. The group got to pick his brain about everything from techniques in playing doubles to international recruiting.
As Anderson has carried tennis as a part of her life for 61 years, she sees it helping to fill a void for those in the class, as well.
"I think that's so neat," she said. "When you get to a certain age you lose a little of that — maybe you're retired — you lose a little of your identity. You start identifying yourself as, 'Hey, I'm a tennis player.'"
The class will now be held year-round. Its most recent session started Friday, and Anderson said there's been so much interest that the program is adding a fourth coach and a fourth court and would welcome new participants. Call the JTC at 785-749-3200 by Wednesday to sign up or to get more information.

Hi everyone and thanks for visiting our blog. My wife and I created this blog to chronicle our experience while raising a son with Asperger's syndrome. Since our son was diagnosed with an ASD at age 5, we've had a lot of questions. Lucky for us we have a great support network in place. And our blog gives us an opportunity to share what we've learned with our readers. We hope you find our blog informative and interesting. Thanks again for visiting.
"It seems that for success in science and art, a dash of autism is essential." Dr Hans Asperger 1906-1980
Friday, 3 February 2012
The one thing that I thought I'd share with everyone is that when Jacob has a spelling test, he doesn't actually have to hand write it. Jacob's allowed to do his spelling test on the classroom computer. Our son's school uses this technique to help encourage Jacob to do his weekly spelling test. In the past when Jacob's been asked to print his test instead of typing it, he's just refused the test all together. For a time it was hard to determine if Jacob could spell at all. But when he became able to do his spelling tests on the computer(without spell check) we learned that he could spell quite well. Next year however, Jacob will be in grade 3. And that's when students start to learn cursive writing. I don't know how Jacob will respond.
I've read and heard numerous stories about the difficulties that autistic/Aspie kids have when it comes to hand writing. And Jacob is no exception. He has many issues when it comes to printing, and we do make him practise his printing frequently. We and the school feel that the extra stress of hand writing the test will negatively impact Jacob's ability to demonstrate proper spelling. But what about cursive writing? The big question is, does my son need to learn cursive writing?
Now I know that printing is very important and Jacob still needs to improve in that area, but does he really need to learn cursive writing? My writing is barely legible, but my printing is much better. Should my son be forced to learn something that isn't that relevant? As we all know this is the computer age and I can't remember the last time I wrote something in cursive. More and more schools seem to be adopting this approach. There are lots of debates on various websites about this very topic. Many people and parents feel that more emphasis should be put on printing and less on cursive. Some places have even eliminated cursive writing all together.
It's also evident that the younger generation has adapted to using computers. Jacob can do more things on the computer than we can. I remember when I was in grade 4, my school had the first dedicated computer room in the city. And this was a big deal. The local paper even did an article on it. Now every classroom has at least one computer and most households have a computer that a child can access. It's no wonder that less and less schools are focusing on cursive writing.
We're not saying that cursive writing should be eliminated, but it should more limited. Maybe they could have an elective course in high school for those that are interested in it. That way, it would be less of a focus early on. We're just glad that Jacob's school accommodates him as much as they do. We couldn't imagine how many meltdowns Jacob would have if he was forced to write cursively. He certainly wouldn't be getting as many stickers.
I found an interesting article about cursive hand writing and how it relates to those with autism/Asperger's. It can be found at http://myaspergerschild.com/ We hope you enjoy it.

He should, at least, be able to sign his name. As far as I know High Schools and Colleges do not require cursive for assignments or projects. I have forgotten how to cursive write most letters myself. If I remember correctly, learning cursive stopped in grade 5 for me and afterwards the teachers did not force it.ReplyDelete
Writing will be the death of me. K hates it. Her penmanship is OK, but her hand gets tired very easily and begins to ache, and then that is just a huge trigger for a meltdown. When she broke her arm earlier this year, they let her use the classroom computer. Her behavior got a lot better at school, not having to write, but then when that cast came off---back to the pencil. It confounds me. She *knows* how to write, so that isn't an issue, or something she needs to learn, so imo she should just be allowed to use the computer instead. But no...that would apparently be too easy. I do write for her sometimes, at home, and the class aide will write for her, too, if she gets really upset, but I would still prefer she use the computer. I mean, what kid isn't going to need computer skills? How often do WE even write, paper and pen? And cursive? Please. All cursive did was turn me into someone who now has a hybrid printing/cursive style when I do write...ha! It's pointless.ReplyDeleteReplies
I guess we're lucky that Jacob's school id willing to try anything. And your right, honestly I can't remember the last time I wrote something in cursive. It's just not needed beyond learning a signature. As long as kids like K and Jacob are able to write, then why push them into a meltdown?Delete
Handwriting matters ... But does cursive matter?
Research shows: the fastest and most legible handwriters avoid cursive. They join only some letters, not all of them: making the easiest joins, skipping the rest, and using print-like shapes for those letters whose cursive and printed shapes disagree. (Citations appear below)
When following the rules doesn't work as well as breaking them, it's time to re-write and upgrade the rules. The discontinuance of cursive offers a great opportunity to teach some better-functioning form of handwriting that is actually closer to what the fastest, clearest handwriters do anyway. (There are indeed textbooks and curricula teaching handwriting this way. Cursive and printing are not the only choices.)
Reading cursive still matters — this takes just 30 to 60 minutes to learn, and can be taught to a five- or six-year-old if the child knows how to read. The value of reading cursive is therefore no justification for writing it.
(In other words, we could simply teach kids to _read_ old-fashioned handwriting and save the year-and-a-half that are expected to be enough for teaching them to _write_ that way too ... not to mention the actually longer time it takes to teach someone to perform such writing _well_.)
Remember, too: whatever your elementary school teacher may have been told by her elementary school teacher, cursive signatures have no special legal validity over signatures written in any other way. (Don't take my word for this: talk to any attorney.)

When presented with a hypothetical drug akin to statins and many antihypertensives for clinical risk reduction, 88% of older adults surveyed said they would be willing to take it if it had no adverse effects, Terri R. Fried, MD, of Yale, and colleagues reported online in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Dropping the benefit from six to three fewer heart attacks per 100 people taking the drug over five years had little effect on the percentage willing to take it (82%) as long as there were no adverse effects.
However, introducing the risk of mild side effects -- fatigue, nausea, or fuzzy thinking -- made 48% to 69% unwilling or uncertain about taking the drug.
The prospect of adverse effects severe enough to have an impact on activities of daily living scared off all but 3% of the surveyed older adults.
These preferences may be having a direct impact on clinical practice, Fried explained in an interview with MedPage Today.
Relatively minor side effects that physicians and guidelines tend to discount in recommending treatment may not get the same pass from patients, she noted.
"Practically speaking, nonadherence to medications is very high," she said. "We think a part of it may be that patients are making decisions all the time based on what they're experiencing."
Fried recommended involving patients in the decision about what benefits are worth potential harm, with more detailed discussion of adverse event risks as well as follow-up.
"Where the focus needs to be is physicians reviewing with patients whether they think they are experiencing any adverse effects of medications, a question that is not always routinely asked," she argued, "then systematically thinking about which medications might be causing those effects, and then potentially modifying people's treatment regimen to have trials off of medication."
An approach that gives more weight to adverse effects in prescribing decisions could give physicians pause in adding new medications to the mix for an older adult, commented Howard Guzik, MD, chief of geriatric medicine at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y.
"This is a particularly relevant finding because the tendency among physicians is often to prescribe medication in clinical settings where the benefits of this pharmacologic intervention is often tenuous or unclear," he said in a statement e-mailed to reporters.
Older adults may not differ from younger patients in their preferences, but they are more likely to experience adverse effects because of their typically more extensive medication regimens, Fried noted.
Her group looked at risk-benefit decisions among 356 people, mean age 76, at three senior centers and one assisted-living facility. At in-person interviews, the researchers presented different hypothetical scenarios of taking a once-daily drug covered by insurance to prevent a first heart attack.
They found that willingness to take the drug for primary prevention drug had relatively little to do with the benefit it would confer.
For example 83% who were initially uncertain or unwilling to take a drug with a 30% relative risk reduction for myocardial infarction continued to be unwilling or uncertain if the risk reduction rose to 50%.
Notably, the top two reasons given for not wanting to take the medication were belief that the benefit was too small and belief that the medication would have adverse effects despite what the scenario indicated.
White race, higher self-rated health, and fewer chronic conditions were associated with willingness to take the medication in the baseline scenario, but age, sex, income, education, marital status, health literacy, depression, functional status, number of prescription medications, and quality of life were not.
The researchers cautioned that the generalizability of their results may have been limited by better educated study participants in better health than nationally-representative populations of older adults and by presenting the scenarios in a fixed order building on each one, which might have led to an ordering effect on the responses.
Another important limitation was that the benefit of the hypothetical medication was presented in terms of disease risk reduction rather than in terms of its impact on overall functional, symptom, and survival outcomes that are particularly important in older individuals' decision making on treatments, Fried's group noted.
The study was supported by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and by the Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center at Yale University School of Medicine. Fried reported being supported by a grant from the National Institute on Aging.
The researchers reported having no conflicts of interest to disclose.

Here is the latest from Wimberley, showing the start of Tyvek building wrap installation. This stuff keeps out water and air while not allowing mold growth. Oddly, it is also the stuff used to make a lot of those large shipping envelopes you sometimes get things like FedEx shipments in.
A major ice storm has ensured that no progress was made on the place this week, which is frustrating after finally getting started on the framing. So, it will be another week until I can post some photos showing the second floor underway.

I see some really ubique post-processing in these. What have you done?
First I get the image in ACR with the grey card.
Pulling back on exposure and recovery + fill, setting white balance. But in these images every one was yellow on the grey card. Mystery.
Using 16 bit I then use Topaz Denoise5, important since deconvolution doesn't like noise.
Then I use Topaz InFocus; mostly the unknown option set around radius 4.
Then I use Topaz Detail2 adding medium to large detail, but also use the colour sliders and that normally messes up the white balance.
Saving everything as 16 bit tiff no compression.
I then get Helicon Filter, and choose distortion; correcting as best I can.
Might even use some cloning but always finsh by cropping using the Mitchell interpolation routine to give me 300dpi on A3+.
Saving as 16 bit tiff again.
Now is the only time I go to 8 bit in PSE10.
Select all and save selection.
Make 9 duplicates.
From the top we have;
Color 100%
Luminence 10%
Color 100%
Multiply 100%
Screen 100%
Screen 100%
Screen or normal !00%
Screen or normal 100%
Sometimes I add overlay base duplicate inverted with Gauss blur on the top.
On layer 5 I try various Gauss blur from 30 to 250px to see If something pops out then:
Basically I play with the layer 6 as Pin or difference or Linear and layer 8 opacity or other blends, but mostly difference.
However the rock is linear blend and the waterfall pin light.
Adjusting opacity in layer 6 and 8 then create an an adjustment layer from layer 8.
A levels layer over 8 with Pin Light blend using auto mostly; but moving the middle needle or gamma as required and output before flattening.
Now I add a border to make it fit an A size, save as tiff now 8 bit.
Then choose standard rgb and save as a 10 jpeg for the web.
Well that is all there is too it really; lot of sucking and seeing.

Thanks Steve for detailed explanation. I will try a variation using PS.
What is the Mitchell routine for cropping?
The Mitchell method is a method of enlargement available in Helicon Filter and other applications while resizing or cropping. I believe fractal design is also quite good for resizing but in Helicon Filter you have to set the Mitchell method in options, it is hidden otherwise, and I don't know how it works but Helicon Filter describes it as a superior method and it looks better than bicubic to me.
I do it when resizing/cropping in Helicon Filter because it is no trouble and in the unlikely event I want a print, I always do A3+ or bigger, then it is ready and waiting.
cheers bobo
layer 5 is the multiply layer.This is where I put the blur.
layer 6 is set to 0% initially, then choose pin 100% to just see the changes, mostly I end up choosing difference around 50%.
layer 8, luminence has its opacity increased once I know or have an idea what layer 6 is going to be.
An adjustment layer is always created from layer 8, set to pin blend and levels. Try auto first.
Good for adapted Orton, or drammatic skys, or making things stand out, but I wished I could do layers in 16 bit.
Thanks for the additional info.
Looks like you might be moving on to PS hehe.
I do not have Helicon Filter so cannot try it out. What other apps have this?
Cheers bobo; it is not essential to resize but I can't find another app with it, every time I try and google it I just get references to the mathematics.
I've heard Fractal is very good for enlargements, but the last print I did was just to test out the 16 bit driver in my printer and I used bicubic, whilst I could see a difference at 100% the A3+ print was silky smooth.Of course I've had A1 size printed , the dpi drops below 150dpi and maybe this is where I would see the difference.
Thanks again for taking the time.
I seldom print so it is no biggie.

WESTMINSTER, Md. – McDaniel outscored Chatham 22-10 over the final seven minutes of the third quarter to break open a two-point game and notch a 79-47 victory in the opening round of the 2017 McDaniel Tipoff Tournament in women's basketball action on Friday.
Liv Storer (Wangaratta, Victoria, Australia/Galen Catholic College) led the Green Terror (1-1) with 17 points and six rebounds. Caroline Ward (Mt. Airy, Md./Linganore) added 12 points for her second double-digit scoring game in as many collegiate outings.
Ashley McClain led three players in double figures for the Cougars (1-1) with 15 points and also added seven rebounds.
Baskets from Libby Bowles (Gaithersburg, Md./Damascus), Storer and Halle Burgess (Ashton, Md./Good Counsel) staked McDaniel to a 6-0 lead in the first 2:40 and the hosts never trailed.
Chatham evened the game at 12-all behind a 6-0 run of its own on a Maggie Soeder putback with 3:23 showing in the first quarter.
A Jamese Word (Belmont, Mass./Lexington Christian Academy) converted a three-point play and Ward tallied four straight to make it a 19-12 game after one period.
The Cougars closed to within two twice in the second quarter but a Hannah Zajac (Houston, Texas/Clear Creek) 3-pointer with 3:07 remaining sparked a 9-3 flurry to end the half and built the hosts a 33-25 advantage.
Chatham scored eight of the first 10 points in the second half to make it a 35-33 game but five straight points from Storer sparked the game-clinching run. A Ward triple with 4:54 on the clock made it a 47-37 lead, stretching the advantage to double digits for the first time.
The lead methodically grew throughout the fourth quarter to its final 32-point margin.
All 15 players in uniform netted at least one point for the Green Terror.
Hannah Ravenscroft (Berryville, Va./Clarke County) chipped in three points and two assists but also led the defensive charge with five steals.
McDaniel will host No. 2 Christopher Newport in Saturday's championship game. The Captains defeated St. John Fisher 74-48 in the night's other first-round game. Game time is 4 p.m.

Why did this happen?
I recently read about the young girl Claire Squires who died at the end of the marathon last week. She was doing it for charity how fair is it then that she should die doing something so self-less?
Not fair!!
3 comments:
Claire lived not far from here, and I know people who were acquainted with her - she was a vivacious and beautiful young woman.ReplyDelete
It is incredibly sad, and I do not have an answer to the question 'why?' - but I am sure that the response of all those who have made a donation in her memory to The Samaritans is a tremendous tribute to her memory.
May God comfort and strengthen those who feel so bereft right now.
Hi Justine, thank you for the link, it's fine where it is. This was a terrible tragedy wasn't it? I hope her family take comfort in how much Claire was loved xxxReplyDelete

In December of 2011, Nasa confirmed the discovery of the first planet found in the habitable zone of a "sun-like" star. They named the planet Kepler-22b. The planet is about 2.5 times the radius of Earth, and orbits comfortably within the habitable zone. Scientist are unsure of the composition of the planet, but the discovery has proven to be a huge step in finding a "twin Earth."

Things weren't all bad for Clemson basketball Saturday. The Tigers did defeat Notre Dame in front of a sellout crowd at Littlejohn Coliseum. And they had another favorable experience with 2019 6-11 Malcolm Wilson of Ridge View who was in for an unofficial visit.
"It was great. The energy was through the roof," Wilson said. "Coach Brownell and Coach Smith were both talking to me about continuing being a great rim protector and rebounder. They stressed that to be successful I need to play into my strengths and the other things will come."
Wilson also got some personal time with one of the Tigers' all time greats, someone who knew a thing or two about blocking shots and rebounding.
"I got to speak with "Tree" Rollins who told me the same things and challenged me to come to Clemson and remove him from the number one spot in blocks and rebounds. They made me feel like I could make a good impact on the team."
Wilson also has a USC offer and said there's been nothing new with him and the Gamecocks. Georgetown and Massachusetts are also now showing interest. And he will visit Wake Forest Sunday.

Pants, Pants & Pants: The story of a confused Canadian Teacher in London
It was my first week of teaching in London, and I knew that the word "pants" means "underwear" in England, but hadn't really used it yet.
So, I told my year 5 students to get changed for Physical Education. Most schools have the children just get changed in their classroom, which I found to be bizarre on 2 fronts:
1) Why do primary aged children get changed for P.E.?
2) Since they get changed for P.E. shouldn't there be change rooms like in secondary school?
One of the British teachers explained to me that getting changed together wasn't a big deal and that's the way it's always been so the children are just used to it. It still felt very stressful to me to ask them to get changed in one room together.
So, back to my story. I told the class to get changed for P.E. and one boy (let's call him Sammy) told me he didn't have any P.E. clothes, so he went to get some from the office.
When he returned, I advised him to "Go on then, take off your pants."
I had a really tough class and my eyes were darting all around the room to make sure no major fights were breaking out. I didn't even notice that Sammy left the room, until I heard the Deputy Head Teacher yelling at him in the hallway.
"What are you doing out here? Why aren't you in your class?!"
"Uhhh...the teacher told me to take off my pants so I went to the toilets to get changed out of my pants," Sammy explained.
"You know not to take off your pants in school!"
"But the teacher told me to," Sammy missed a lot of school because of his home circumstances and was very used to being told off. This time it was my fault though and I felt horrible. Poor kid!
That was the day I learned about pants, pants & more pants. See, pants means 3 different things:
1. Pants are underwear in the UK.
2. Pants are pants in North America (aka "trousers")
3. Pants can also be used as a negative, like "My day was really pants!" or "This food is pants!"
If you're thinking about teaching in London, or anywhere in the UK, you should know these words & practice using them. Please don't make the same mistake I did!
Check out this list of important words for Canadians to know. Watch British tv, or Teachers TV and learn the lingo. Use the British words & get used to them so you won't tell some poor child to "take off your pants!"

With high unction, priests of educational reform often proclaim their notions are grounded on a strong scientific base. Embarrassingly, the President and his secretary of education, Arne Duncan, have made similar assertions of scientific footings, notwithstanding the failure to actually support those claims.
Science, of course, has certain advantages, in that its proofs are subject to verification, are based on careful observations, must generally be replicable, and must follow commonly accepted designs and rules of evidence. But science has the pesky drawback of not necessarily confirming the answers we want to hear. There are all those awkward things to explain like reformer Joel Klein claiming success as an "established fact" while Arne Duncan says 83 percent of the schools are failing.
Magic, however, has been discovered to be a far more flexible and useful tool for supporting policy reforms. Contrary scientific findings can be brushed away with the same untroubled ease as an end-of-worlder explaining why the apocalypse didn't happen last week.
As magical notions gain political traction, a supporting "science" is retro-invented. Contemporary retro-science includes reports that provide squishy, oblique and leading evidence on how untrained teachers will do as well or better than trained ones, class sizes can be increased without harm to children, and test-based accountability will save all despite the last twenty years of less-than-stellar success. Magicism is most easily recognized by its strong declaratory incantations, frequently delivered by people with limited or no experience in the field. Being short on science, it relies on the brandishing of symbols, rituals, and rites.
