I still did not decide if I manage to participate in this one as there is still the August Blogtrain and I should also put some time in my own layouts . But I just came across this awesome palette and I would love to play with it:
Let's see .
so many good themes and colours! I loved the red in that wedding one... so gorgeous!
As for aspect, I think I'll incorporate decorations with the food idea perhaps? though i've found a lot of snow related elements on this site. Weare in winter over in Australia but it doesnt snow in Adelaide. I definitely want to do something with paper chains though. I'm thinking Reds, Whites, silver, and gold for a start.
Ooohhh...is there an inspiration board for Christmas/Winter themes????
Good Idea Tina, perhaps we could add a second Pinterest board for the Designer Challenges, separate from the Blog Train.
@Tina and Laura - I think a Pinterest board for the Designer Challenges would be good, especially for ones like this month, that have a specific theme, or if we do any in the future with a specific color palette we could share theme ideas.
sounds like a lovely idea
Here is the palette I will be using..
@awesome idea for Inspiration boards..
Great ideas. Leave a comment here if you want to be added to the Designer Challenge Inspiration Board: http://pinterest.com/pin/110478997082169738/
Oops...Marisa was posting as I was writing....lol
I've chosen this palette:
Some lovely colour palettes. I just love the fruit one above! I was thinking of purples but now I'm not sure!!
Angela: I saw some really nice purple baubles with white snowflakes on them, and they worked really well.
My final palette choice, with additional colors and the names I came up with to describe them . . . just for fun. (Pro Tip: run a gamut check on your palette BEFORE you make a bunch of papers and then find out they are all out of gamut and need to be changed. *sigh*) I also came up with a title for the kit, but not really a theme other than "Christmas-y Stuff." Well, it's my first Christmas Kit so I hope y'all will forgive my first-time flailing.
Holly I LOVE your choice and your papers are beautiful!
so much for your kind words, Tiffany. They are much appreciated.

Fallout Begins Following EU Google Decision
May 15, 2014 11:01 AM PT
This week's landmark ruling from the European Court of Justice, which says that Google and other Internet companies could be forced to remove search results upon request, has been a hot topic around the globe.
* The ruling was "astonishing," according to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, who said that it was "one of the most wide-sweeping Internet censorship rulings I've ever seen."
Wales, like anyone who read the ruling, noticed that the parameters for judging whether content be removed were exceptionally ambiguous. This puts Google in dilly of a pickle, Wales told BBC Radio, forcing the company to determine things like relevance -- and face legal repercussions if it is wrong.
* The ruling was either a) "an eerie parallel" to China's Web censorship or b) "a huge incentive for tech investment to get the hell out of Europe," opined James Ball in The Guardian.
* Google already has received requests to remove objectionable material, according to a source cited by Reuters. The company has not yet determined how it should handle what is expected to be a deluge of removal requests.
* Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt addressed the court ruling at Google's annual shareholders meeting. The decision reflects "a collision between a right to be forgotten and a right to know," Schmidt said, adding that in Google's eyes, the EU court didn't strike the right balance.
Nintendo Launches Tethering App
Nintendo on Thursday began offering a 3DS tethering app for certain smartphones and tablets on Japan's Docomo network.
The Android-compatible app, Kantan Tethering, is available through Google Play and Docomo's bundled dmenu app.
The app is not a mobile game, but the move is noteworthy given Nintendo's years-long refusal to bring its characters and games to smartphones and tablets. (Three straight years of red ink tend to make one reconsider things.)
At present, Kantan Tethering is available only on Samsung's Galaxy S5, which is being released in Japan Thursday and is on sale via the country's biggest carrier, Docomo.

Snowden Book Could Become Movie
Sony Pictures has optioned the book No Place to Hide, giving it the rights, should it so choose, to turn it into a movie.
No Place to Hide was penned by Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who first dropped the National Security Agency bombshell last summer. It chronicles how Greenwald began working with Edward Snowden, Snowden's motivation, and other surveillance-related goodies.
Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson of EON Production reportedly will be tasked with turning the book into a film. Broccoli and Wilson coproduced a series of James Bonds films.
Sony is mum on when its release is expected.

Telephone Company Questioned NSA Program
In 2009 and 2010, a telephone company questioned the legality of a National Security Agency program that systematically collects records of Americans' calls, according to court docs declassified Wednesday.
The disclosure is the first known instance of a phone company putting up resistance against bulk data collection. It also throws egg on the face of Judge Claire Eagan of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court: Last summer, Eagan intimated that no companies had questioned the legitimacy or legality of the program.

RECAP: HURRICANES 5 - SABRES 3by Chris Ryndak / Buffalo Sabres
The Carolina Hurricanes made the most of their only lead of the game against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday.
Defenseman Andrej Sekera scored 9:50 into the third period to give Carolina a 4-3 lead. The Hurricanes held on to win 5-3 at First Niagara Center.
Cody Hodgson, Brian Flynn and Tyler Ennis scored for Buffalo with each goal putting the Sabres in front. Jhonas Enroth made 28 saves.
Alexander Semin tallied twice for the Hurricanes. Jeff Skinner also scored and Jiri Tlusty added an empty net goal with 0.8 seconds remaining in regulation. Anton Khudobin turned aside 26 shots.
Phil Varone, making his NHL debut, assisted on Flynn's second-period goal for his first career point.
"It was a good feeling. It would've been a lot better in a win. It was fun, it was exciting," Varone said. "I was glad to have my family here, but like I said, I wish it would've been in a winning cause."
The Sabres are 0-3-2 in their past five games and have given up four our more goals in each of them.
"We're finding ways to lose hockey games versus playing ways to win hockey games," Sabres interim coach Ted Nolan said.
Ennis put the Sabres ahead 3-2 just 49 seconds into the third period. After Drew Stafford rang a shot off the crossbar, Ennis, slapped a bouncing puck in from the left wing.
Ennis is now on a career-best six-game point streak with three goals and four assists in those games.
Carolina came back to score the final two goals 2:25 apart in the third period. Semin's second goal of the game tied the affair and Sekera's low slap shot from the point through traffic with 10:10 remaining put the Hurricanes ahead for the first time all game.
"It was nice to get the lead. Then as soon as we got the lead, we kind of sat back," Ennis said. "They took it to us and that's a tough loss."
The Sabres took the first lead of the game with 9:45 to play in the first period when Hodgson capitalized on a miscue by Justin Faulk in the neutral zone. Faulk was unable to corral a puck and Hodgson picked it up, skated in over the blue line and ripped a slap shot from the faceoff circle past Khudobin.
In the six games since Hodgson has returned from an upper-body injury, he has points in five games (3+3).
Carolina tied the game by taking advantage of a Sabres turnover. Skinner intercepted an errant pass by Alexander Sulzer in front of the Sabres net and backhanded a shot past Enroth with 7:32 remaining in the first.
Flynn converted on his a scoring chance he generated in front of the Hurricanes net by circling around the goal to put the puck home 3:20 into the second period.
Once again, the Hurricanes battled back to make it 2-2 with 6:49 left in the second period. Semin skated in from the neutral zone and up the middle of the ice to wrist a shot over Enroth's right shoulder.
While the Sabres have been able to find offense lately, their struggles on defense are mounting.
"If you're standing still at the blue line, giving it to the opposition, it doesn't work out too well sometimes," Nolan said. "We've got to play better."
The two teams skated into the third period tied, and, with the Hurricanes playing in the second half of a back-to-back, probably should have been the team faltered.
"That's what makes it even more frustrating," Ennis said. "They should be more tired and we should have the energy. They outplayed us in the third."
The Sabres were able to kill off a four-minute penalty to Zemgus Girgensons early in the third. With captain Steve Ott also in the box for a coincidental minor, the Sabres batted back the Hurricanes attack without two of their two best penalty killers.
The penalty was only the second that Girgensons has taken through 48 games.
Buffalo will be on the road for four of their next five games. They're back in action Saturday night in Columbus at 7 p.m.

God of War: Ascensions' First 30 Minutes Show Kratos' Growing Pains
Let's go all the way back to the beginning, folks. In fact, let's go to the start of the beginning, and see how far Kratos has come to become the badass that we all love in God of War: Ascension's first half hour of gameplay.
This video, courtesy of Polygon, shows off all the brutality we've come to expect from Kratos and some of his early skills. But most importantly, we get a look at the game's story.
At the start, we're treated to some back-story about a hundred-armed giant named Hecatonchires who was punished by the Furies after betraying Zeus. This being was to be eternally punished, since the Furies thought that death "was too kind." We then see Kratos chained up, thanks to these retribution-seeking creatures, and surrounded by strange bugs.
Megaera, one of the Furies, comes by to torture Kratos and teach him respect with a couple of clawed uppercuts. Of course, this would be a boring game if we just saw Kratos being pummeled over and over, so the god eventually breaks free of his chains and goes after Meg.
The video is below, for your viewing pleasure, but do keep in mind that there will be massive spoilers since this is the first 30 minutes of the game. God of War: Ascension hits store shelves on March 12th, 2013.
Let us know what you think of the start of Kratos' latest journey in the comments!

WASHINGTON (AP) — The average U.S. rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage fell to a new record low last week, and the rate on the 30-year fixed loan declined. Cheaper mortgages have encouraged more home-buying and refinancing.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate for the 15-year fixed mortgage slipped to 2.56 percent. That's the lowest on records dating to 1991. It fell from 2.61 percent last week, the previous record.
The rate on the 30-year loan declined to 3.35 percent from 3.40 percent last week. That's near the average rate of 3.31 percent reached in November, the lowest on records dating back to 1971.
Low mortgage rates have helped sustain a housing recovery that began last year. Home prices and sales are rising, and construction is up.

Have you been on Pinterest? It's a virtual pinboard where you can "pin" any image that catches your eye. It's a great place to tuck, or should I say tack, all those visual bits of inspiration we come across online. Awesome photos, luscious looking food, fabulous style pegs, anything, anything at all that appeals to your sense of gorgeousness.
Suffice to say, I am quite enamored. It's an effortless way to quickly save any image that inspires me…and because of the endless amount of talent out there in the world, that's a lot! On the site itself, there are other "pinboards" from all sorts of lovely people, brimming with brilliance. So as far as inspiration is concerned, there is a whole lot to go around. All of it, quite literally, at the tips of your fingers.
And it's with thanks to Pinterest, and its wonderful members, that I've come to this BLT. Not just any BLT, but a BLT with slow roasted tomatoes and a fried egg. A BLT for champions.
Being a lover of porcine delights, it's no wonder that the mighty BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato if your being formal) is one of my favorite sandwiches. I also happen to love slow-roasting tomatoes. And I love eggs. So when I came across these alluring photos on Pinterest the wheels were set in motion for my next breakfast BLT (because what better time to have bacon that at breakfast?).
This is not so much a recipe as a framework. You choose the quantities. Here is what I did: I slow roasted some tomatoes – this is the way I like to do that. You can do this in advance, in fact, it's better if you do. Waiting a couple of hours for a sandwich can seem a bit surreal. When you are ready, fry your bacon in a dry, hot pan (I like to use a thickish honey-cured variety from a local deli) – let the fat render and cook exactly the way you like it (for a BLT I like mine just bordering on crisp). While the bacon is cooking toast the bread (I use my favorite whole-grain, sold at my neighborhood market, baked by a former French Foreign Legionnaire…or so they say). Slather on side of the bread quite generously with mayonnaise (or not, if that's your preference). Arrange the lettuce leaves over the mayonnaise (I like to use arugula) and the slow-roasted tomatoes over that. When the bacon is done set aside on paper towels and fry the egg in the sizzling hot bacon fat, sprinkle the yolk with salt. The egg will sputter and may look quite frayed but that's ok – take it out while the yolk's still runny. Place the bacon over the tomatoes and the egg on that. Top with another slice of toast. Press down on the sandwich just enough so the yolk gently ruptures and wiggle the bread a bit so it spreads. Enjoy with abandon.
Inspiration is, truly, everywhere. It can come from a "pinboard" of someone half a world away, or right outside your window. It can come from your neighborhood market or a meal you are about to have. It can come from an ingredient you've never come across before. It can come from leftovers. It can come from something you just learned from someone you've known your whole life. The key is to always keep your eyes, your mind and your heart wide open to its possibility. It could change your life. Or at the very least give you a fantastic BLT.
Note: If you're curious about what inspires me, you can visit my pinboards here. Aside from the obvious food, I also have pretty things for myself, my little one, and my home.

Ideological challenge emerged from two other directions. The reform community objected to the community's public representative being an orthodox rabbi, regardless of his personal qualities and professional competence, but the rabbi of the Great Synagogue was so entrenched that his reform counterpart at Temple Emanuel had to find other avenues of eminence. The strictly orthodox rabbis felt that the head of the orthodox rabbinate should insist on greater orthodoxy within his own congregation. The Great Synagogue had had a mixed choir since about 1870, and they felt that Porush should take steps to disband it. This challenge was not so much Eastern versus Western European: it was more religio-political than ethnic.
In the meantime, smaller synagogues appointed "German" rabbis such as Dr Alexander Grozinger and Dr Benjamin Gottshall. The "British" rabbis were also partly in the Germanic mould, often graduates of Jews' College with its German-style faculty members (if I may be personal, this was my own situation since, though born in Melbourne, I was influenced as a child by Billigheimer and then studied at Jews' College).[24] The reform rabbis were also the products of German-type scholarship at the Hebrew Union College in the United States and later the Leo Baeck College in London.
The major congregations continued their established "Anglo" pattern, but new forces built up after the Lubavitch Chabad movement began in Shepparton, a town outside Melbourne, with a Chabad yeshivah which subsequently moved to Melbourne, where they created a range of institutions and a climate of learning and orthodoxy. In Sydney Lubavitch also became a force to be reckoned with. Chabad eventually branched out nationally, displaced the "establishment" leadership of the rabbinic organisations and in time took over suburban pulpits and in some cases the large "mother" congregations too, giving the community the perception that Eastern European Judaism was more authentic than Central or Western European.
An interesting development occurred in the liturgical area where also the German pattern was displaced. In the major orthodox congregations and even more in the liberal synagogues, the Western European musical influence had once been axiomatic.

and their stately Westernised compositions had ruled for decades. Cantorial and choral programmes had been Germanic, evoking nostalgia amongst congregants who had grown up in this motif. At Temple Beth Israel in Melbourne, for example, the musical director was Dr Hermann Schildberger, who had come from a similar position in Berlin. Now a range of new composers entered synagogue services, and the happy-clappy Shlomo Carlebach trend – so different from the great German Carlebach rabbinic tradition – spread throughout orthodoxy and gained a liberal following also. By the final decades of the twentieth century the Australian liberal movement had almost severed its last ties with the German tradition.
Woah - this is a super long page! Does that mean 2.0 is completely different, I'll have to learn the basics all over again, and migrating will be practically impossible?
I'm glad you asked! The answer is no. About 90% of the API is the same and the core concepts haven't changed. It's long because we like to offer very detailed explanations and include a lot of examples. Rest assured, this is not something you have to read from top to bottom!this is not something you have to read from top to bottom!
Where should I start in a migration?
Start by running the migration helper on a current project. We've carefully minified and compressed a senior Vue dev into a simple command line interface. Whenever they recognize an obsolete feature, they'll let you know, offer suggestions, and provide links to more info.
After that, browse through the table of contents for this page in the sidebar. If you see a topic you may be affected by, but the migration helper didn't catch, check it out.
If you have any tests, run them and see what still fails. If you don't have tests, just open the app in your browser and keep an eye out for warnings or errors as you navigate around.
By now, your app should be fully migrated. If you're still hungry for more though, you can read the rest of this page - or dive in to the new and improved guide from the beginning . Many parts will be skimmable, since you're already familiar with the core concepts.
How long will it take to migrate a Vue 1.x app to 2.0?
It depends on a few factors:
The size of your app (small to medium-sized apps will probably be less than a day)
How many times you get distracted and start playing with a cool new feature. 😉 Not judging, it also happened to us while building 2.0!
Which obsolete features you're using. Most can be upgraded with find-and-replace, but others might take a few minutes. If you're not currently following best practices, Vue 2.0 will also try harder to force you to. This is a good thing in the long run, but could also mean a significant (though possibly overdue) refactor.
If I upgrade to Vue 2, will I also have to upgrade Vuex and Vue Router?
Only Vue Router 2 is compatible with Vue 2, so yes, you'll have to follow the migration path for Vue Router as well. Fortunately, most applications don't have a lot of router code, so this likely won't take more than an hour.

3-Year-Old Crying
My 3 year old son has been going to a preschool for 8 months now. But after being going to the school for these many months he still cries in the morning because he doen`t want to go there. Every morning he wakes up crying saying he doen`t want to go to school. He cries until he reaches the school. It`s very embarassing and tough for me and my husband as we see other kids going to the same school happily. I have complete trust about the teachers at his school. They are very loving and understanding. I have no idea why he cries every day when he wakes up in the mornig. It is very frustrating as this has been going on for the last couple of months. My son keeps comes up with all the excuses for not going to school; like one day he says he has tummy pain, some day he says he has fever, and somedays he even says that he is very tired and wants to rest. I mean which kid says he needs to rest at this age! Please help me on how I should handle this as I want to see my son going to the school happily atleast once. The teachers at the school says he is happy as soon as we leave him there at school. He only cires for sometimes and then he adjusts there. But yet he has his days at school where he cries and is very sad. The teahers also dont know what to do about it. When I go to pick him up from school he is very happy, gives hugs to all his teachers and looks fresh as if nothing happend in the morning.
His classes starts at 9.00 in the morning and I wake him up at 7.30 so that I get enough time do everything with all the drama that`s going on in the side. And every morning I wake him up with my fingers crossed just hoping that today he wakes up happily and dont throw any tantrums. It starts from brushing his teeth, eating breakfast until I leave him at scool. He has always been a complainer but to see a kid cry everyday just for going to school is hard to watch. I am sorry for such a long mail but I feel like such a bad mom taking a sad child to school everyday. Please help!
It is really tough to watch your child cry as though you are doing something dreadful to him or her every morning!
The most likely cause of the crying is separation anxiety, which is VERY common among preschoolers, especially first children and only children. They have been so much the apple of our eyes and, probably, truth be told, over-protected a bit from handling life's early challenges. We are as attached to them as they are to us! So even though we think we feel complete trust in the preschool, our very reluctance to leave them there, and the anxious expression on our faces, appear to our child to give the lie to our words of reassurance.
The other possibility is that there are changes in your home that are making him feel anxious and reluctant to separate from you. It can be as happy a thing as a new brother or sister on the way or a move to a new home in a great neighborhood, or it can a sad thing such as a beloved grandparent dying, a change in teachers or babysitters, or discord between mom and dad. Children in these situations often want to stay home to make sure all is well or to just feel more secure.
Given your description of how happy your son is once the separation is done with and that he is tear free at the end of the day, I tend to think that the issue is more of the first variety, a beloved child who senses mom and dad's insecurity about leaving him at preschool. In this case, the best strategies are to remain rock solid calm and patient and simply move along getting him off to preschool without any fretting, begging, or pampering on your part. Keep saying good bye warm and brief. Don't drag it out. Leave confidently and keep a happy, confident face no matter what you feel inside. Remond him who will pick him up and when in relation to his daily routine at preschool, e.g. after afternoon playground time.
If a new baby has arrived, it can just be a normal backwards move in behavior that is needed to help him cope for a little while. Have each parent spend a little time alone with him each evening that is just for HIM. Even if it is only 5 minutes of undivided attention from each of you, he will love it. Never skip it! It will reassure him of his important place in your hearts. Also be sure to follow the suggestions above in remaining calm and patient in getting ready for preschool and saying good bye.
Other tips include always being on time for pick up and letting him know in advance when a change will occur in pick up in terms of who and when. If other stressful events are occurring in your family, ask a librarian to help you find an age-appropriate book on the topic to share with him and help him talk about what is bothering him. It sounds as though you do have a daily routine, but if not, then start one for every aspect of his time at home. Routines help young children feel secure and cope better.
If you are already doing these things without improvement on his part or you feel the need for support yourself, speak with his doctor and ask for a referral to a child psychologist, behavioral pediatrician, licensed independent social worker, or other mental health professional to support you through this challenging time. They will work with your son and the whole family to improve the situation. Don't feel badly about asking for help. Parenting is a hard job and most of us encounter a time when we need extra support and information to help us do our job well and keep our sanity.
I hope this is helpful to you!

During last week's world hunger briefing, Bill Gates was asked for his opinion on the Obama Administration's proposal to streamline the federal government's food aid program. The administration wants to buy food for emergency assistance locally instead of shipping it from the United Sates. It says the package of reforms could help feed an additional 2 to 4 million people. While Gates didn't give the proposal a thumbs up or down, he did speak of the need to continually improve foreign aid programs. He also supported cash-based aid, which he said was less disruptive to emerging economies and could more quickly help people in need. Bill Gates, of course, is the founder of Microsoft. He also runs the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a major supporter of foreign agricultural aid programs. Here's what he said in a Q&A session about foreign aid reform, the challenges posed by a growing world population, and his organization's support of AGRA (Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa). Could you comment on the Obama administration's proposal to change the Food for Peace program by buying food locally instead of shipping it from the United States? The administration says the proposal could feed an additional 2 to 4 million people. "Our foundation has chosen to put lots of money into these agricultural issues because I think they are highly impactful. So we're often visiting other sources of capital and saying, 'Please keep your food aid strong.' "The big attack on foreign aid is that it isn't efficiently used. So wherever we find a case where we can be significantly more efficient, we owe it to ourselves, if possible, to take that opportunity. "The thing that's really understated in terms of having some portion (of aid) move to a cash-based approach is not just the effectiveness in terms of dollars per person served. But when you are dealing with acute food issues, getting the food there late is extremely damaging to young children. "During the first 1,000 days, if you don't get the appropriate nutrition, your brain development never recovers. No matter what you invest in the education of that kid, they are not going to achieve their potential. "So cash-based aid—first of all it buoys nearby markets to buy locally. It also gets the food aid into the place that you are interested in much more quickly. And it is much easier to stop aid once the acute situation is dealt with. "If farmers come back in and try to sell at market prices, you are actually doing damage to those markets. And it's always a very tough thing, but if you have a 50-week lead time (for food aid delivery), it's very hard to tune these things to not actually damage some of these markets. "So I think in some ways the numbers understate the benefit of some portion of aid being cash-based." Right now we have 3.5 billion people living in cities, 3.5 billion living in rural area. We're split 50-50. But in 37 years, we're supposed to be 70% urban. Are our policies keeping up with that demographic shift and what does it mean for the diets of children? "Well, you are absolutely right that the net population gain is essentially going to be in slums in poor countries. Rich countries will see a net decrease, and rural areas will see a slight net decrease. So cities in poorer countries, overwhelmingly slums, are where you'll have the population increase. "When you think about food and nutrition issues, there are some unique things in that urban environment. The lack of sanitation is way more problematic there. That's why you see very high rates of diarrhea and diarrheal deaths in urban areas. It's one disease that's worse, even after decades of work. Malaria is much worse as you get out into the rural areas. "What do you want to do about this? Well, all of the productivity things that we talk about here are beneficial to both populations. The most difficult thing is still getting enough food, and there's a huge budget distortion taking place in a lot of these countries where they have to subsidize food. They get on a treadmill doing that, and they are not investing in productivity. They are not investing in education and infrastructure because food prices are very high. That's sort of an extreme case but not the only one about subsidization. "So any productivity we achieve is good. If we do it with small holders, then it's win-win. That is—it's cash income to them, and it brings down the prices and (improves) supply. "Malnutrition is a little bit different in the two sectors. It's worse in the rural areas because variety is much worse there. So things like the supplemental feed for a 1,000 days tends to be of more impact to rural areas. You need to pay attention to sanitation and toilets in the cities. But you are still going to have 3 billion in the rural areas, and they will on average be poorer than the urban population." Could you please comment on AGRA—what you are trying to do with it, and its importance to Africa? It would seem quite important to global food security. "The Rockefeller Foundation not only funded the Green Revolution, but they stayed in agriculture and built up a lot of expertise in Africa. When we were getting into agriculture, we partnered with them to create the Africa Green Revolution Association, or AGRA. "It's led by Kofi Annan. It's got a great staff that's been improving over the years, getting more donors involved. It's basically a partner of national governments to help them with agriculture policies. It has had a huge activity around soil quality, going out and doing soil maps, and helping people better understand soil nutrients. You have lots of different soil conditions that are a huge problem in Africa. "A seed program is the other big thing. A lot of African governments decided that they would monopolize seed production, or put up complex regulatory barriers to getting varieties of seeds out. Countries like Kenya, and now Ethiopia, have allowed new small seed producers to come in, and whether it's unique varieties of staple crops or vegetables and fruits, the variety is great. If you have a nutrition goal as well as an economic goal, that variety—even if it (accounts for) a small percentage of the crop—can be pretty important. "AGRA is on the ground. It has got 10 countries that it's primarily working with. It is not working with some of the toughest. It's not doing much in, say, DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) or Maldives, or Central African Republic. But it is in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Ethiopia—a lot of countries. "Ethiopia is really amazing because they've really embraced the whole reform thing and have hired a great person to run what's called The Agriculture Transformation Agency there. So they, off a low basis, have the biggest productivity increases over the last three years. " Back to news

The week of March 18 is "Fix a Leak Week," and officials at the Kentucky Division of Water are encouraging residents to repair small water leaks in their homes.
Minor water leaks account for more than 1 trillion gallons of water wasted each year in U.S. homes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) WaterSense program. Water leaks can account for an average of 10,000 gallons of water wasted in the home every year – enough to fill a backyard swimming pool.
The EPA suggests the following steps to check if you have a leak:
- Take a look at your water usage during a colder month, such as January or February. If a family of four exceeds 21,000 gallons per month, there are serious leaks.
- Check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter changes at all, you probably have a leak.
- Identify toilet leaks by placing a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If any color shows up in the bowl after 15 minutes, you have a leak. (Be sure to flush immediately after the experiment to avoid staining the tank or bowl.)
- Examine faucet gaskets and pipe fittings for any water on the outside of the pipe to check for surface leaks.
Follow these tips to help prevent water loss by leaks:
- Regularly check your toilet, faucets and pipes for leaks. If you find a leak, have it fixed as soon as possible.
- Check faucet washers and gaskets for wear and replace them.
- Leaky toilets are most often the result of a worn toilet flapper. Replacing the rubber flapper is a quick fix that could save a home up to 200 gallons of water per day.
- For a leaky garden hose, replace the nylon or rubber hose washer and ensure a tight connection to the spigot using pipe tape and a wrench.
- Tighten connections on your showerheads if drips appear when the shower is off.
- Check your garden and lawn irrigation system for leaks, or hire a certified expert to check it for you.
Other smart water-use tips include taking shorter showers, turning off the faucet while brushing teeth or shaving, running the dishwater or washing machine only when full and using a timer for the sprinkler system.
The EPA urges homeowners to replace plumbing fixtures with items featuring the WaterSense label. WaterSense-labeled toilets and faucets have been independently tested and certified to save water and perform as well as or better than standard models. Visit http://www.epa.gov/watersense/about_us/index.html to learn more about the WaterSense program and how you can make every drop count.

Bachelor Celebrates 100th Anniversaryby Patrick McAlister '10 • April 9, 2008 Share:
The Bachelor only turns 100 once. In that light, it is only proper for those involved with the storied publication, both past and present, to gather to talk about not only past experiences but ideas for the future of the publication.
Tuesday afternoon and evening The Bachelor staff and advisors as well as the greater Wabash community welcomed former Bachelor staffers to campus. Chris Cotterill '99, Adam Christensen'03, Jacob Pactor '04, and Ryan Smith '03 came back to share their wit, wisdom, and ideas for the future of the student newspaper over dinner and a panel discussion.
Although each of them served as editorial leaders on the "Student Voice of Wabash" during their time with the College and three (Cotterill, Pactor and Christensen) served as editors, each man is pursing a very different career.
Cotterill, who served as editor-in-chief his sophomore, junior, and senior years, was recently named the corporation counsel for the city of Indianapolis under the new Greg Ballard administration, making him the city's leading attorney. As a freshman when the Wabash Theater Department put on the first act of Tony Kushner's Angels in America Cotterill understood the role the Bachelor needed to take in facilitating the discussion of the controversial play.
"I remember as a freshman specifically thinking that faculty and staff were making a far larger issue out of it than the students were," he said. "But as I learned more about it and as I began to mature, I began to understand the challenges of Angels at an all-male campus. We were the first college campus to produce this, so there was a lot of national attention.
"What we did do with respect to Angels is to try and get the opinions from multiple angles and to not be a filter to that. At a time when something called the Commentary was speaking with a bullhorn and doing so for many quite effectively compared to the Bachelor we were getting more ground and more of a foundation to speak from the middle and allow more people to use us as a forum."
Christensen was the only man in the paper's history to be named Indiana Collegiate Press Association Journalist of the Year, primarily for a series of stories he developed about gay men at Wabash. He noted that planning for such a long term story was integral for it to be done well.
"We really wanted to do something that was important — a hard-hitting big investigative piece," he said. "We came down to a couple of different ideas. One of the ideas, though it seems like a cliche at time, was homosexuality on campus. 'shOUT had done a lot of things and had been working very hard since the Angels time. By the time I was on campus, 'shOUT was growing again. It had a good voice and good people and it was active. That got us to thinking what was it like to be gay on campus right now – not in 1992, not in 1999 right now."
The series, titled "Gay Today at Wabash" incorporated many different perspectives and aspects of homosexuality on campus. To understand how Wabash affects gays after they leave Wabash, Christensen elicited the help of those that knew post-Wabash life the best.
"We started working on a bunch of different stories and a bunch of different perspectives," he said. "We decided we wanted to give the opportunity for the alumni to speak — not necessarily to publish their entire stories but to tell us what it was like, how their lives were now, and how they had changed while they were here (at Wabash), in Crawfordsville, in Indiana, and all the different layers that go with that."
All four alums provided staffers and those connected with the paper their insight on what worked and what did not work — none more voraciously than three-year editor Jacob Pactor. Pactor, who teaches at North Central High School and is pursuing a master's degree in English at Butler University, noted that although it may sound like a good idea to always go for the glitzy story, doing so without relationships with key individuals will not allow for a well done piece.
"The little things you do make a big difference," he said. "The nuts and bolts of getting the story out are important. If you don't build those relationships, you won't get those stories. One of the best things Jim (Amidon '87) did for me was when I was editor was to encourage me to set up regular meetings with people on campus like the president, dean of students, and other administrators –—so I could have the access to those on campus who knew what was going on. If you don't have those relationships built, you can't go ask them the harder questions later."
Pactor also noted the incredible level of readership the Bachelor has with students, alumni and the greater Wabash community. This job includes not only informing Wabash about events, but also prospective students interested in the stories of the College.
"The Bachelor is the only publication that reaches every person affiliated with Wabash College," he said. "You have a great opportunity to write about whatever you want. You also have a great responsibility to be the student voice of Wabash College. When I talk to students about where they should go to college I would advise them to look at the College's website and pick up the student newspaper. If one of those didn't sit right with you, don't go there."
Out of the each of the four members on the panel, only Ryan Smith pursued a career in journalism. After graduating Wabash with honors, Smith went on to the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and is now an assistant producer with the CBS news magazine 48 Hours. Many of the stories Smith works on could take up to two years to develop, and countless numbers never actually make it to air. Smith juggles anywhere between 30 and 50 of these stories at a time. Because of the nature of the stories that Smith works with, getting people to talk about what is happened can be at times challenging.
"I've learned that building relationships, respecting them, and actively listening to them (are important), he said. "I've had experiences in my life that may lend me to feel one way or another about a particular situation. What I've learned is that it's not my business or job to make decisions about what is happening. My business is to show them that I am eagerly listening to them, allowing them to talk and not (to) badger them with questions. When you do that, they'll start talking to you and trusting you."
Smith noted that many of the journalistic skills he still uses in his capacity with 48 Hours were grounded in his work on staff for the Bachelor.
"The Bachelor gave me an opportunity just to try it," he said. "It was really about learning and giving me a chance to refine the craft of journalism. There's a certain base that we (as journalists) all need to know, and I think you're learning those skills right now. I think that if you progress (in journalism), you'll be making use of those skills everyday."
Many of those who listened to the talk were impressed with what the panelists had to say and how the Bachelor positively affected their careers.
"It was good to see how their experience with the Bachelor had positioned people for success later in life," said Bachelor Columnist Kyle Cassidy '08, "and better still to have them return and share their experience with the current staff."
The Bachelor celebrates its 100th Anniversary on April 9th and will publish a special 100th Anniversary issue today and its usual weekly issue Thursday.

Cause-Marketing For Food Packaging Builds Image and Sales
Labels, bottles and cans put cause-marketing messages in the hands of the consumer.
At first glance, urban nutrition, disaster relief, veterans' support, school supplies and animal rescue don't seem to have a lot in common. They do, though: Each is the focus of a cause-marketing program created by a food or beverage processor to serve the greater good.
Cause marketing continues to play a strong role in food and beverage companies' business strategies, with packaging providing an essential communications vehicle for many of the initiatives.
Results of a cause-marketing study by Cone LLC (www.coneinc.com), a Boston-based strategy and communications agency, indicate that altruism is not the sole driver: Cause-marketing programs are effective in building both brand image and sales.
According to the 2010 Cone Cause Evolution Study report, "85 percent of consumers have a more positive image of a product or company when it supports a cause they care about." The report also says 80 percent of Americans "are likely to switch brands, about equal in price and quality, to one that supports a cause."
But getting the word out about cause-marketing programs is key. The study found that "90 percent of consumers want companies to tell them the ways they are supporting causes."
Kraft's Triscuit adopted the home farming/urban farming movement by putting a packet of herb seeds on packages.
And that's where packaging comes in — as a point-of-purchase component in the media mix, supporting the campaign's social media, broadcast and print communications.
Triscuit plants urban farms
For Triscuit, a brand of Kraft Foods Inc. (www.kraftfoodscompany.com), Northfield, Ill., packaging expresses the brand's commitment to "Home Farming" with an on-pack gift of seeds. Triscuit launched the Home Farming movement last year in partnership with Urban Farming, a nonprofit organization.
The idea behind the movement is that everybody can grow herbs and vegetables, even if they live in a city. In 2010, Triscuit and Urban Farming planted 50 community-based home farms; this year, they will replant those and add 15 new ones. The farms are in 20 cities, and the food grown goes to the farms' volunteers and local food banks.
Five of the new farms will be planted in low-income housing facilities to address the paucity of healthy food for sale in those communities. These five farms will be in Chicago and Los Angeles; Triscuit and Urban Farming are working with the cities' housing authorities to develop the farms.
The Triscuit carton plays a motivational role in the campaign. "We wanted to make sure the Triscuit packaging reflected our commitment to making it easy for everyone, everywhere to grow their own fresh vegetables and herbs. On eight million packages of Original and Reduced Fat Triscuit, we attached plantable basil and dill herb seed cards so people can immediately begin planting," says Leslie Waller, Triscuit brand manager.
She adds, "We doubled this allotment from the four million seed cards that were provided last year so that we can help even more people across the country begin planting and enjoying fresh culinary herbs."
Text and graphics on the Triscuit cartons include the message "Plant a Seed/Grow a Movement," the Home Farming logo, information about Triscuit's partnership with Urban Farming and directions for planting the seeds. The carton also directs consumers to Triscuit's Facebook page to learn more.
ConAgra targets child hunger
Also in its second year is Child Hunger Ends Here, a program of ConAgra Foods Inc. (www.conagrafoods.com), Omaha, Neb., and the nonprofit organization Feeding America. The program's goal for 2011 is to donate 2.5 million meals to Americans in need, as it did in 2010.
The campaign includes various ways for consumers to contribute, including shopping for ConAgra brands such as Banquet, Chef Boyardee, Marie Callender's, Healthy Choice, Peter Pan, Fresh Mixers and Kid Cuisine. Packaging for these brands displays the Child Hunger Ends Here logo on the package's front panel or label plus a purchase code on the back. At the program's website (www.childhungerendshere.com), the consumer enters the eight-digit purchase code to trigger ConAgra's financial donation to pay for one meal. Feeding America works with local food banks to provide the meals.

"Bloodthirsty" Bob Kapur is in New York City and New Jersey and will be filing his unique take on things for SLAM! Wrestling. From Thursday's report, learn how he excited a Bella twin, ate too many Fruity Pebbles, and treasured his visit to the Radio City Music Hall bathroom.
Thursday, April 4
6:59am. Arrived at Toronto's Pearson airport to catch my 8:30 flight to Newark. Can't believe how many people are traveling to the U.S. today.
7:30am. Enjoying some pancakes and turkey sausages in the Amex lounge at Pearson. Luckily I have NEXUS or would not have got through customs and security in time. If you're not NEXUS, you're against us.
9:57am. Heading to the hotel. Airport has huge WWE signs all over, and there are banners on light poles at several points along the highway. There is definitely a buzz in the NY/NJ air about this weekend.
10:35am. Picked up SLAM! Wrestling photographer Mike Mastrandrea from his hotel and headed out to Radio City Music Hall for the Mania press conference.
12:37am. There's a reception line for media. Big Show's hand swallowed mine during our handshake greeting.
12:38am. Made one of the Bella twins "pop" by exchanging greetings with The Great Khali in Hindi.
1:04pm. They're running late - missed the scheduled 1:00pm start time. They're like Papa Shango at Mania 8. That's funny to people who get that reference.
2:07pm. Press conference was fun. See separate report. Afterwards, press was invited to go across the street for an opportunity to take a photo of the WWE Superstars standing on the marquee. As Mike did that, I started talking to the RCMH staff. Asked one employee, Nathan, how his day is going. "I just want to get the hell out of here - I got things to do," he answered. I guess not everyone's feeling the mania after all.
2:48pm. Still waiting for the post-presser photo shoots to begin. I'm getting sympathetic to the disillusioned Nathan. Especially because we're not getting any actual interview time. Did manage to shake the Rock's hand, though. That was kind of cool. And I ticked off some of the other photographers by asking Cena a question so that he was looking at me when he answered instead of posing for them. At least Mike got some good shots for SLAM! Wrestling so that's what matters.
3:39pm. Lunch at a local brew pub restaurant. As a wrestling fan, had to try the Red Rooster ale. It was technically great and very under-rated. That's also funny to people who get the reference.
4:55pm. At the WrestleMania Superstore, a huge store WWE has set up in the Met Life stadium where they are selling all sorts of merch. There are numerous Mania event shirts, t-shirts of various superstars, other clothing items, toys, and other memorabilia. They had these giant cardboard heads of various superstars. The Randy Orton one has about as much personality as the real Randy Orton. [Here's a Photo Gallery of the WrestleMania Superstore]
6:01pm. Made it into Fan Axxess at the IZOD Centre. Was an interesting setup being in an actual arena this time as opposed to a conference centre like most of the ones I've been to in the past.
6:09pm. Here's the setup. In the arena concourse are a bunch of exhibits and talent signing stations. Some of the exhibits are a HoF section, a display of every one of the company's championship belts, past and present, and a life-sized Andre the Giant statue. The signers in the concourse are a range of B-level stars like Rosa Mendes and the Prime Time Players, legends like DDP, Ricky Steamboat, Pat Patterson, and bigger name talent like Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter and Antonio Cesaro (these will change a few times each day). On the floor in the VIP section are A-listers like CM Punk who was the first of them for the weekend.
8:51pm. Back at hotel. Tapping out from the Iron Sheik roast at Caroline's Comedy Club. Still feeling sick and don't want to risk using a downtown NY comedy club bathroom. Too much information, I know. So out of respect for your sensibilities, I'll sign off for now.

Tuesday, June 19, the Moon will be new at 11:02 (AM) here on the East Coast
of the U.S. This new Moon will immediately become void of course. After her cheek to
cheek conjunction with the Sun in the last degrees of Gemini, she will have no relationships with
other planets until she moves into her home sign of Cancer at 1:34 in the afternoon. This offers
us all a period of silence and meditation in the middle of the day to become fully aware of the
potent forces with which we can all connect. Give yourself a little time of full consciousness
during these few hours between the moment of new Moon and the entry into Cancer. If possible,
wait until the void of course period has ended to make important decisions or appointments with
long consequences.
The degree of the new Moon (28 Gemini) is aligned with Betelgeuse, a bright star in the right
hand or arm of Orion. Betelgeuse is an indication of success for those who have it in a
prominent place in their chart. Gemini is associated with the hands and often gives a skill with
manual tasks, a sign of craftsmanship. We have had two new Moons in the same sign, which is
unusual, and suggests a slightly longer period of endings, before the newness of the Moon's
entry into the next sign.
When Lady Moon enters Cancer at 1:34, we will have a foretaste of the Sun's entry into
Cancer at the moment of the Solstice on Wednesday at 7:09 pm. The Moon will open the door
of Cancer to the Sun. The Solstice (when the Sun stands still) has been for many people, the
world over, a time of great importance. It has been described as a gate, an initiation point, and
always a turning point. Our Grove will celebrate both the solstice and the new Moon this
The new Moon will be exactly opposite the Galactic Center as well. This is a time we can open
to cosmic assistance, if we are present in our own center.
In a few days (June 24th) the first of seven exact squares will occur between Pluto and Uranus.
These squares will color the next several years, and have already been felt beginning with the
Arab spring and Occupy movement last year. Now these movements for new power
arrangements feel the resistance of those they challenge. New channels of energy will open up
as old ones are blocked.
Most of us will also feel a push towards new and greater freedom in our personal life and,
perhaps, more important in our inner life, and yet we may recognize resistance to new dreams
and visions, which would shake up how we have live and how we have viewed life up until now.
All of this suggests we have a Moon period of possibility for transformation. It is a time to
envision the future we yearn for and to interact with the power streaming in from the cosmic
encouragement of Betelgeuse and the Galactic center. All this will be enhanced in the grip of the
square between the two great transformers, Uranus and Pluto.
I have noticed in my own life and with many of my clients and friends that Saturn's retrograde
has brought around re-connection to old friends, or segments of life left behind at some earlier
point. Saturn who represents manifestation will turn direct on June 25, the day after the moment
of the Uranus Pluto perfect square. Venus is also ready to end a retrograde period on June 27,
and will hit that same new Moon and Betelgeuse degree, 28 Gemini, August 5th. Love will be
empowered in a summer of Venusian special events!
The Sabian Symbol for this the 29th degree of the New Moon and Betelgeuse is THE FIRST
MOCKINGBIRD OF SPRING, The creative exuberance of the human soul in response to
basic life experiences.

It had appeared that 49ers director of player personnel Tom Gamble would end up being the G.M. of the Jets and that Falcons director of player personnel Dave Caldwell would become the G.M. of the Jaguars.
But one thing we've learned in the latest NFL hiring cycle is that there's a disconnect between appearance and reality.
Caldwell, who has interviewed three times for the Jags' job, will now interview for a second time with the Jets, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
On Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com suggested that the Jets are focused on a candidate other than Gamble; Caldwell could be the guy.
For Caldwell, having a pair of serious suitors won't make the offers he ultimately receives any lower. So it's a good thing.
But more than money is the question of where he's more likely to be happy and successful. The cities and the organizations can't be any more different; it all may come down to the environment in which Caldwell believes he'll be more comfortable and effective.

I just wanted to thank Jamal for his help with getting my car serviced a few weeks ago. It was so nice of him to go that extra mile and make sure that everything was in order. When he found the problem, he got it fixed for me and contacted Allied concerning my warranty and it was taken care of with no problems. Allied even texted me to let me know that Auto Haus was fixing my car and then to tell me a payment had been sent to Jamal. It helps so much when Auto Haus makes the whole process so much easier on it's customers. My car is running like a charm now. Thanks again for everything Jamal! - Earlene D. Evans
"I have used Auto Haus in the past to service my BMW which they do very well. This is the first time I have looked for a car there. When they advertise a 116 point inspection, they mean it. I bought an immaculate 2012 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite that I saw in their shop with four new brake rotors and new brake pads. It also came with new tires and a new serpentine belt. The mechanic was almost as good a salesman as was Tim Kickert who was very knowledgeable about Honda Odysseys and very helpful, My wife and I are both very pleased with the vehicle and the dealership." - Frederick Strong
"In March of this year, I contacted Dale Mang at the Yorktown location to setup an appointment to see a vehicle. When I arrived, I received immediate attention with the highest amount of professionalism and respect. This was the easiest auto purchase I have ever made! From start to finish and beyond the sale, Dale and his crew have been top-notch and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I got a beautiful vehicle at a great price! When it comes time to look for another vehicle - I'll start my search at Auto Haus!" - Vicki Moore
"My stop at the Yorktown site was prompted by an online description of a vehicle I and upon entering the showroom, I was greeted warmly by the receptionist and directed to the office of Vincent Frazier. He was very helpful in discussions on the background of the auto and also suggested a test ride to verify the info he had given me. I rate his service at 5+ because he was able to turn a simple inquiry into a sale at a price that was great!! The paperwork that followed was done expeditiously with no "surprises!" The experience was in keeping with the recommendations of friends!! Try them you will like the atmosphere." - James HarrisAce Women NIKE Air WMNS Vapor qSxUItx
"When it was time to find a new car this dealership was awesome. I called and set up an appointment to have Chai Douanglee show me a few cars. He really knows his stuff, answered all of my questions and made this car buying experience fantastic. The entire group was really easy to work with and made me feel very comfortable in my purchase. I highly recommend Auto Haus to anyone seeking professionals and an easy buying experience." - Keith Vaughan

Protecting Our Communities and Our Natural Resources through Land Use Planning
Land use planning is the process by which communities decide how their land should be used, both in the present day and in the future. By planning for development, communities can protect their drinking water and other important natural resources and simultaneously guide their business and residential development to areas that are not environmentally sensitive.
In New England, most land use planning takes place at the municipal level through the oversight and guidance of Planning Boards, with state limits on the types of activities Planning Boards can regulate. Local land use planning should be guided by a central document, usually called the Master Plan or Comprehensive Plan, which takes the long view, from five to ten years or beyond. Once adopted, a Master or Comprehensive Plan can be used to develop zoning ordinances or bylaws—the code of requirements governing how land in a community can be used. View an example of a Master Plan—Town of Groton Master Plan. Strong limits can be placed on how environmentally sensitive lands, such as wetlands, floodplains, and steep slopes, can be used. Local Conservation Commissions often have a large degree of oversight on proposed uses of wetlands and floodplains.
The NRWA introduces its watershed communities to the more innovative, environmentally-friendly forms of zoning and regulations. Some of these planning tools come under the name of Smart Growth, which is a planning philosophy that seeks to minimize human impacts on the land while still providing for needed development. The NRWA also assists with Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management, Open Space Plans, and drafting of protective Bylaws, Ordinances, and Regulations. NRWA also offers professional workshops for land use planners, developers, engineers, and municipal officials to offer an opportunity to learn about the latest land use innovations and to network with colleagues facing similar development challenges.

Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D.
Director, National Human Genome Research Institute
Genetic tests can be done to confirm a suspected diagnosis, to predict the possibility of future illness, to detect the presence of a carrier state in unaffected individuals (whose children may be at risk), and to predict response to therapy. Genetic tests may be carried out in the prenatal arena, either through pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (where the diagnosis is made of an individual embryo before implantation), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis. Most newborns in industrialized countries are tested at birth for a few genetic disorders that require immediate treatment. Genetic tests may be carried out on children (to confirm a diagnosis, but generally not to predict adult-onset disorders unless an intervention in childhood is essential). Genetic tests may be carried out on adults for all of these indications.
About 900 genetic tests are now offered by diagnostic laboratories (see Genetic Testing Registry at NCBI for a wealth of information on the specifics). Some genetic tests look at whether the number of chromosomes is correct and whether there is any evidence of a chromosome rearrangement or other abnormality. This kind of test, for instance, would detect Down syndrome (an extra chromosome 21). Most genetic problems are more subtle than this, so tests able to detect them must look at the actual DNA sequence of a particular gene. To detect a carrier of Huntington's disease, for instance, the test must discover a particular expanded repeated sequence of a gene on chromosome 4. If this repeat of CAGCAGCAG... is very long, there is a high likelihood of the future onset of illness. For many genes, however, there are multiple different ways that the gene can be misspelled; in that situation, an effective test may need to detect many possible misspellings (usually referred to as mutations). A standard test for cystic fibrosis, for instance, looks for 32 different mutations in the so-called CFTR gene, but will still miss rare ones. Other types of genetic tests do not look at DNA at all, but look at RNA (the messenger that is transcribed from the gene), or at the actual protein product of the gene. Carrier detection for Tay-Sachs disease, for instance, actually measures the enzyme activity of the protein product.
The number of tests is growing, but most of these are currently applied only in families where there is a strong history of the disorder. For instance, BRCA1 and BRCA2 testing are only offered to individuals with a strong family history of breast and ovarian cancer. Similar situations exist for diseases such as colon cancer or Huntington's Disease. But in the next few years, it is expected that a much longer list of susceptibility tests will become available, and may be offered to anyone interested in the information, regardless of family history.
This is generally referred to as pharmacogenomics. Some such tests are already available, such as a test for estrogen receptors in a breast tumor sample to see whether the drug Herceptin will be effective. A much larger array of tests that predict drug responsiveness for cancer, heart disease, asthma, and other disorders is under development, and some will reach the market soon.
It is likely that the major genetic factors involved in susceptibility to common diseases like diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer and mental illness will be uncovered in the course of the next 5 to 7 years. For many of these conditions, altering diet, lifestyle, or medical surveillance could be beneficial for high-risk individuals. That will open the door to wider availability of genetic tests to identify individual predispositions to future illness, potentially for virtually anyone. If applied properly, this could usher in a new era of individualized preventive medicine that could have considerable health benefits. It will be important to remember, however, that most of these tests will not be "yes or no" but rather will predict relative risk. For this paradigm to succeed, it will also be essential that predictive genetic information is used to benefit individuals, rather than to injure them by discriminatory misuse.

Americans have a habit of codifying everything, taking the essence of an issue and putting a number to that essence so that everybody can understand just how bad things have become.
In many cases, the numbers become more important that the issue itself.
Over the last several years, the numbers have been used to demonize teachers, not only in New York City and Nassau County, but across the nation.
Put together the "facts" that tests sores are falling and few graduates are ready for either college and career and the fact that the percentage of teacher pension costs are increasing, causing cuts to school programs in local districts, and you have the perfect storm that brings the media and school functionaries to the conclusion that both are the fault of the teachers. The conventional wisdom on the part of school officials and media pundits who don't know any better is that teachers are at fault for both failing students and climbing school budgets.
How could it be any other way?
Look at the massive drop in test scores in Nassau County school districts that were announced last week. The media and state education officials were quick to say the cataclysmic drop in scores was due to a new curriculum and higher standards, while, at the same time intimating that perhaps the teachers should have been teaching the skills necessary to do well on the test all along. What they did not say is that for the last ten years, teachers have been forced to teach to the previous test as well as use vital classroom time on test prep that had nothing to do with education.
Fire the bad teacher's, those whose students are failing the test. Close the bad schools and open new ones.
The mantra has been "It's the teacher's fault, and we're going to use the test scores as a reason to fire those teachers who don't do well on the test and punish those schools whose students are "failing."
For the first time in years, however, it seems that school officials are becoming the demons and teachers are being redeemed.

Patrick Bordeleau, Finally In The Showby Ron Knabenbauer / Colorado Avalanche
Patrick Bordeleau is living a childhood dream.
After spending five seasons in the minor leagues, the Montreal, Quebec native can finally say he has played in the National Hockey League.
Making his debut in the Avalanche's season opener at the Minnesota Wild – the team that drafted him – Bordeleau, 26, became an official player at 2:07 of the game, right after Colorado scored to take a 1-0 lead.
His first shift didn't last long – only 21 seconds – as linemate Cody McLeod stopped play after getting in a fight, but Bordeleau said that those few seconds is what he will remember the most about his first game.
"It was an unbelievable feeling," he said two days later at the Avalanche practice facility, still with a big grin on his face. "You can't ask for more than that when you're a hockey player. To play in the NHL, that is something you dream about when you are a little boy."
The Wild selected him with a fourth round pick (114th overall) during the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, which made Bordeleau playing in the season opening game against them that much more special.
"I'm going to remember that I was drafted by [Minnesota] and I played my first game against them," he said.
At the time of his selection, he had just completed his first year with Val-d'Or of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. He spent three more seasons in the QMJHL before entering the professional ranks.
|Patrick Bordeleau in the Jan. 22 game against Los Angeles.
In the minor leagues, he bounced around between five ECHL teams and four AHL teams over the course of two seasons before landing in Lake Erie for the entire 2009-10 campaign.
In 2010, Bordeleau was invited to Avalanche training camp on an AHL contract, and despite being one of the first players to be cut, Colorado saw enough from him during his time at camp and at Lake Erie that year to sign him as a free agent the following offseason.
In 29 games with Lake Erie this season, the 6-foot-6, 225-pound forward only had seven points, but he was the enforcer of the team with 91 penalty minutes and was called up for Colorado's training camp in the middle of January.
Over the first four days of this season's camp, he did enough to impress the coaches and was named to Colorado's 23-man roster for the start of the season.
"He's a big guy, but the thing I like about Bordy is that he can play," said Colorado head coach Joe Sacco. "I can put him in situations where he just won't be on the bench. He's a physical force for us. He's here for a reason and he is another guy that will make us harder to play against."
When he was first told that he had made the team, Bordeleau said he had no emotion, but the accomplishment eventually sunk in.
"I couldn't believe it. I didn't know how to feel," Bordeleau said. "When I sat down at the hotel, it hit me and it is just a dream come true."
The big body winger was a perfect fit for an already bruising fourth line for opening night as him, center Mark Olver and McLeod already had experience playing with one another previously. Bordeleau had played with Olver at Lake Erie for three seasons, while him and McLeod saw a lot of ice time together during previous Colorado training camps.
Bordeleau said he wasn't nervous prior to his first game, but it did finally hit him that he was playing in the NHL after his first shift.
"After my first shift when I went to the bench, the boys were congratulating me," he said. "After the game, the boys were like, 'Congrats,' and I think that is when it soaked in that I was an NHL player."
He also almost got his first NHL point in the game as well. With Colorado trailing 3-1 in the third, Bordeleau picked up the puck off a faceoff and threw it to the point for Greg Zanon, who fired it to the net where McLeod scored on the rebound.
The arena announced that Bordeleau assisted on the goal, but it was later determined that Olver had tipped Zanon's shot after he had touched it.
While he didn't get the point, his presence in the game was still felt.
"I thought Bordy, for his first NHL game, played really well," McLeod said. "A big body out there. It definitely changes how other teams look at our lineup when you get a big guy out there."
Bordeleau said that he'll get the assist back, but for the time being he is glad for the opportunity to play for the Avalanche organization and wants to do anything he can to help the team.
"When you get drafted you always think that it will work out, but sometimes you have to take a longer road," Bordeleau said. "I did and I'm pretty glad that I ended up here."

Is Sugar the Next Great Health Crisis? [VIDEO]
You know cigarettes and excessive alcohol consumption are bad for you. But what about sugar? A California doctor says it's not just unhealthy, it's downright toxic.
On Sunday night's '60 Minutes,' Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, said sugar doesn't just make us fat, it leads to Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.
He even said the regulations and warnings labels mandated for alcohol and tobacco should apply to sugar, as well, telling CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, "Something needs to be done. Ultimately, this is a public health crisis … you have to do big things and you have to do them across the board."
A recent study indicated excess consumption of high fructose corn syrup — which Dr. Lustig says is no worse than regular sugar — can boost risk factors for heart disease by increasing a type of cholesterol that can clog arteries. What's more, other scientific work reveals sugar could aid the growth of cancer tumors by stimulating the production of the hormone insulin.
Jim Simon, a member of the board of the Sugar Association, told Gupta the science is "not completely clear" and that singling out one food is unfair, adding, "To say that the American consuming public is going to omit, eliminate sweeteners out of their diet, I don't think gets us there."

The phone rang last night around 9:15, and it was a friend who wanted to share some good news. As is the case when we talk the conversation quickly turned to the Mets.
"You know JD," he said. "Normally, I'd be excited this time of year. Opening Day is a week away, but for some reason I'm not feeling it this year. It's hard to get excited about this team."
The greatest concern on his mind was the pitching, which has not been good. All the worries about the Key Three – Pelfrey, Maine and Perez – are still there, hanging over the team like the rain this morning.
They just won't go away.
"For the last three years they've been saying how they need a No. 2 starter," my friend said. "So, what do they do? They spend it all on a left fielder."
We can debate whether what was out there is better than what the Mets currently have, but for now, we have to consider there had to have been at least one guy who could help.
I don't know. Maybe the buzz will hit my friend and he'll feel it next week. Maybe they'll get off to a fast start and get us all excited.
But for now, there are more than several issues that have dampened the mood.

(Reuters) - The Detroit Tigers made sure they did not waste another starting pitching gem with a breakout 7-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday that tied the American League Championship Series at 2-2.
The Tigers unleashed their bats in Game Four with a five-run second inning before generating more than enough run support to separate from the Red Sox and even up the best-of-seven affair.
"It was awesome, we needed it," Detroit's Torii Hunter told reporters at Comerica Park.
"We knew we were down 2-1, but told ourselves 'relax, have fun and just go out and play the game'."
Manager Jim Leyland made a critical change to the Tigers lineup, dropping Austin Jackson from the leadoff spot to number eight and moving everyone else up in the order. It immediately paid dividends.
Thriving in his new spot, Jackson went 2-for-2 with two RBIs for his best game of the playoffs.
"I think it just helped me relax," Jackson said. "That was the goal. To get me to relax, be patient get a good pitch and let the rest take care of itself."
New leadoff hitter Hunter powered a two-run double during second-inning charge, Miguel Cabrera went 2-for-4 to build a 7-0 lead with his second RBI in the fourth inning as Detroit responded strongly to consecutive tough defeats.
After claiming the series opener last week, the Tigers lost a five-run lead in Game Two and were shutout 1-0 in Game Three, despite pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander combining to strike out 23 and allow just two runs in those defeats.
Detroit's Doug Fister followed form by allowing just one run and striking out seven batters in six innings Wednesday as the Tigers avoided another letdown.
Boston's man on the mound, Jake Peavy, was blasted during three innings that saw him surrender seven runs.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia got the Red Sox on the scoreboard with an RBI single in the sixth inning, and they added runs in the seventh and ninth but there would be no comeback this time.
David Ortiz, who delivered a memorable tiebreaking grand slam in Game Two, flied out with a man on base for the final out in the ninth.
Jacoby Ellsbury had four hits and an RBI for the Red Sox in the defeat.
Game Five is on Thursday back in Detroit.
