In this new approach to understanding the impact of grief, Susan A. Berger goes beyond the commonly held theories of stages of grief with a new typology for self-awareness and personal growth. She offers practical advice for healing from a major loss in this presentation of five basic ways, or types, of grieving. These five types describe how different people respond to a major loss. The types are:
- Nomads, who have not yet resolved their grief and don't often understand how their loss has affected their lives
- Memorialists, who are committed to preserving the memory of their loved ones by creating concrete memorials and rituals to honor them
- Normalizers, who are committed to re-creating a sense of family and community
- Activists, who focus on helping other people who are dealing with the same disease or issues that caused their loved one's death
- Seekers, who adopt religious, philosophical, or spiritual beliefs to create meaning in their lives
Drawing on research results and anecdotes from working with the bereaved over the past ten years, Berger examines how a person's worldview is affected after a major loss. According to her findings, people experience significant changes in their sense of mortality, their values and priorities, their perception of and orientation toward time, and the manner in which they "fit" in society. The five types of grieving, she finds, reflect the choices people make in their efforts to adapt to dramatic life changes.
By identifying with one of the types, readers who have suffered a recent loss—or whose lives have been shaped by an early loss—find ways of understanding the impact of the loss and of living more fully.
"Author Susan A. Berger offers a fascinating new view of what happens to people who lose loved ones. The Five Ways We Grieve helps us to discover who we have become in order to give our lives meaning and purpose." —Patriot Ledger
"Offers a fresh new approach to understanding and coping with the major losses every human being experiences. Dr. Susan A. Berger gives bereaved people a useful tool for interpreting their responses to a loss and creating a new normal for their lives." —Bob Deits, author of Life after Loss
"A treasure trove of penetrating insights. Dr. Susan A. Berger's lucid and thoughtfully researched writing contains personal experiences, clinical examples, and penetrating questions to ponder. Although she takes us deeply into the realm of human torment, the essential message is one of hope as she assists us in transforming tragedy into growth. Dr. Berger will bring needed solace to many grieving hearts." —Rabbi Earl A. Grollman, DHL, DD, author of Living When a Loved One Has Died
"This book offers hope with a plan—in the form of new ways to recognize, define, and focus on our changed identity and worldview after loss. As a child therapist specializing in illness and loss, I found this book immediately helpful." —Sallie A. Sanborn, MS, child therapist and contributor to The Goldfish Went on Vacation

As part of the International Center of Photography's 2009 Year of Fashion, the museum hosts a retrospective of Edward Steichen's fashion and celebrity portraiture. Edward Steichen: In High Fashion, The Condé Nast Years, 1923-1937 features 175 vintage photographs, drawn mainly from the archive of original prints at Condé Nast, along with a selection of important prints from the collection of the George Eastman House Museum. This will be the first exhibition in which the full range of his fashion photography and celebrity portraiture will be shown, including many images that have never been exhibited before. Having previously traveled throughout Europe, the exhibition is presented on its North American tour in this version only at ICP.
Edward Steichen (1879-1973) was already a famed Pictorialist photographer and painter in the United States and abroad when he was offered the position of chief photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair by Condé Nast. Upon assuming the job, the forty-four year old artist began one of the most lucrative and controversial careers in photography. To Alfred Stieglitz and his followers, Steichen was seen as damaging the cause of photography as a fine art by agreeing to do commercial editorial work. He revolutionized the field, banishing the gauzy light of the Pictorialist era and replacing it with the clean, crisp lines of Modernism. In the process he changed the presentation of the fashionable woman from that of a distant, romantic creature to that of a much more direct, appealing, independent figure. At the same time he created lasting portraits of hundreds of leading personalities in movies, theatre, literature, politics, music, and sports, including Gloria Swanson, Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, Colette, Winston Churchill, Amelia Earhart, Jack Dempsey, Noel Coward, Greta Garbo, Dorothy Parker, and Cecil B. De Mille.

Tombstone Tuesday: Who is Dorothy Banta?
|Smith Marker in Green Lawn Cemetery Ohio
This is a collective stone for five persons buried in Green Lawn Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio. I've been able to identify Helen G Smith as the daughter of Perry W and Minnie E Smith. So Perry and Minnie are the parents on this stone and are flanked by their daughter Helen. I haven't confirmed whether Harold is the son of Perry and Minnie Smith. But it seems likely given the ages.
But I can not figure out Dorothy M Banta. Is Smith even in her name? Is she a daughter or grand daughter? The date of Dec 21, 1986 is a death date but I can't figure anything further out.
Now, I took this picture solely as a volunteer who snapped additional photos while I was in the section for my particular ancestors. I'm sure if I called the Green Lawn Cemetery office, I could solve this particular mystery easy enough. However, since this is a volunteer photo (and I have several similar stones needing more information), I'm not entirely motivated to call up Green Lawn.
So, I've posted it on this blog in hopes someone just might come across it and help me out. Otherwise, in the future, when I'm curious enough, I'll figure out who is Dorothy M Banta.

Nappy recycling will cut your baby's carbon footprint
The increase in the UK's population to over 64.5 million people is put down, in part, to the fact the Office for National Statistics reports that 776,352 babies were born here in the 12 months to December 2014 compared with just 570,341 deaths. While birth rates may be falling slightly, babies are responsible for more than 8 million nappies being thrown away every day in the UK. Or to put it another way, the creation of 3-4% of our household waste. In fact, experts calculate that the average child in the UK uses 4.14 nappies every day, which means a baby will get through …
What is zero waste management?
Zero Waste is a philosophy that, ultimately, aims to eliminate rather than manage waste. It encourages a change in lifestyle and purchasing practices that promotes the reuse and recycling so that all discarded materials become resources for others to use. The concept of Zero Waste can also be defined in a 'big picture' sense by making purchasing decisions that would prevent the production of waste in the future The Zero Waste International Alliance says this involves designing and managing products and processes to systematically avoid and eliminate the volume and toxic…
EPR necessary to boost recycling, says Green Alliance
An influential think tank has called on producers to take more responsibility for falling recycling rates. A report put out by charity and independent think tank Green Alliance, argues that greater producer responsibility is key to recycling success. Green Alliance has come out in support of local councils, saying that because producers control product design, they can do more to encourage household recycling. The report suggests how extended producer responsibility (EPR) could work: producers who use recyclable materials or use packaging that saves on waste can b…

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsNews & Views
SPIED: 2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition
With the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration just weeks away, Mustang-360.com acquired spy photos that appear to be the greatly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition.
Sources say the special-edition Mustangs will all be 5.0 GT models, sprayed in a hue that's close to the first generation Wimbledon White color. From these photos you can see Ford has added features like the corralled Pony, FR500-like fork-spoke wheels with Pirelli tires, and taped-off quarter windows. Our guess: Ford is hiding a louvered quarter-window treatment. Brembo brake calipers and Pirelli tires are also visible on this prototype.
As you know, these styling cues can be found on the original Mustang, which was launched at the New York World's Fair on April 17, 1964. And with that, we speculate that Ford will announce the 2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition in two weeks at the New York International Auto Show. Enthusiasts can see the 2015 Ford Mustang at the upcoming show in NYC, as well as a special 2015 Mustang convertible that will be on display atop the Empire State Building, which recreates what Ford did in 1966.
We speculate power will come from the reworked 5.0 Coyote that is estimated to produce between 430-440 hp. The 2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition will also receive special badging in and out.
Ford is clearly in tune with it's most iconic car and is posturing to provide enthusiast with the best Mustang ever as we move into the next 50 years of production.
Please check back with mustang-360.com for more exciting news regarding the 2015 Ford Mustang.

Master Gardener Program - Hickory County (Session 9 of 10)
Thursday, July 6, 2017, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
203 Cedar Street, Hermitage MO map...
The Master Gardener volunteer program began in the early 1970's in response to the rapidly increasing interest in home gardening. The idea was to train knowledgeable garden volunteers to help University Extension staff deliver home gardening information to the public. The idea worked!
Today, the Master Gardener volunteer program is recognized nationally as a means for individuals to learn and to share horticultural knowledge with others. A successful candidate for the program is anyone able and willing to donate volunteer hours in the community and/or MU Extension education programs. Master Gardeners develop their gardening and community potential while their efforts help others in the community. Master Gardeners serve as representatives of the University of Missouri Extension. They may engage in a variety of interesting education activities that benefit the community. After completing the course all first-year Master Gardeners must volunteer for 30 hours work to be completing this in Hickory County to complete the program.
Course consists of eleven, 3-hour sessions covering the following topics:
Orientation and Paperwork (2 HR Max.)
Understanding Soil and Plant Nutrition
Plant Growth and Development
Annual / Floral and Vegetable Production

Hi everyone,I am very excited to travel from the east coast to San Francisco tomorrow night.While I am there my son is going to take me to visit the Holy Virgin Cathedral - Joy of all Who Sorrow - I have visited the website, read the rules for visitors, have attended Vespers before at a Skete, but don't want to make a fool of myself. My son is not Orthodox either. Does any one have any tips or insight for us while we are there? I am hoping they have a nice gift shop so I can take a gift of incense or something back to the Skete for the Monks there - for their kindness to me. When I asked Father what he would like - he just asked for prayers at the relics of ST John - which of course I am happy to do.What do Monks like? Any thoughts here?Of course I am very interested in the icons. Are there any other places that you guys can suggest to us as being of interest? Thanks ahead of time for your input!
Thank you so much! I love the thought of placing the icon on the relics.Is this considered ok? Really?Would I be able to take a photo of the icon with the relics?Thanks for the other tips also, my son does have a car and he will take me wherever...!I did also read one of the other threads on this cathedral...it seems extra conservative, so I want to be respectful and polite and not invite the ire of Orthodox worshippers...
If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.
Moleban (what is the meaning/significance of that word...?).
I tried to explain that I was a visitor to the gentleman behind the counter....he did not understand me, so I gave up and just got the oil. No one spoke or said hello.....strange......
You are correct IXOYE...the priests were standing around the relics by the candles during the Moleban, we all faced the relics. No one went up to them until the reading of all the names and everything was done. Then those of us there lined up to go and venerate. The case is on a raised platform with a step or two up. Some kneeled on the steps and prostrated themselves. Most bowed and signed the cross as I did. Some did that other thing...not sure what it's called...but it's a cross, bow and right arm sweep to the floor....
Thank you Ialmisry...are these words Greek?

Tired of shooting in bullet hell? Play the Mirror Man
February 25, 2013 2:40 PM | John Polson
Mirror Man is a cross between a free-roaming Arkanoid and a bullet hell without your own weapons. Developer ウィア (pronounced Wia) has just released this Windows freeware that asks you to control your ship with WASD or arrow keys and mouse to dodge and reflect enemy fire power to win.
You make mirrors with the left mouse button to reflect the bullets, turning them harmless and blue. To destroy the enemy, you must reflect the blue bullet at least five times to make the shot strong enough, while dodging the relentless enemy shots. To dodge more carefully, you can slow your ship down with the right mouse button.
Finally, to remind you of your frequent failure, the game keeps a counter of how many times your ship is destroyed in the upper left-hand corner. Can you reach the presumed end, that I have not? Give Mirror Man a try for free.

As we get close to WWE '12's release, we here at SLAM! Wrestling can't help but get excited. After all, many of us aren't just viewers, we're gamers too.
You need not look much further than our anticipation for another game which came out from WWE All-Stars. Partnering again with THQ, WWE took a true fantasy perspective on the title, hulking up (pardon the pun) superstars of the past and present and pitting them in a more cartoonish, Street Fighter-style competition with exaggerated moves and combos.
For the review we had three consoles going -- Jon Waldman on Xbox, Marshall Ward on Wii and Colin Hunter on PS3.
Here are our thoughts on this game which has maintained a pretty steady position in the gaming market.
Gameplay and Controls
Jon - It may have just been the 360, but I found the controls to be extremely frustrating at times. Just when I thought I had a move figured out, it didn't seem to work on next attempt. I don't mind button smashes, but this was beyond anything I could tolerate. For a guy who doesn't like to have to read instruction manuals, this was frustrating beyond anything reasonable. Had it not been for the competitive fire that made me push through to complete one of the stories I would've let this one collect dust. 1.5/5 stars
Marshall - Based primarily on timing, grappling and reversals, the gameplay is consistently smooth, regardless of whether you're simply pummelling your opponent, or executing a back-breaking Texas Clover Leaf. Blocking is effective, and reversals require split-second timing, but can result in some of the craziest, over-the-top action ever seen in a wrestling game. A few glitches and strange happenings along the way (Andre the Giant disappeared into the crowd during one match, and never returned) but an otherwise incredibly easy-to-pick-up game that is both fluid and fun. 4.5/5 stars
Colin - There are two ways to play this game: 1. Pick up the controller, mash buttons randomly, and enjoy the resulting mayhem; 2. Pick up the controller, mash buttons semi-strategically, and enjoy the resulting mayhem. Either way, you'll be mashing buttons and having fun. Even once you've learned the mechanics -- grappling, striking, diving, reversing and finishing -- the game has a charming simplicity that makes for an instantly enjoyable and surprisingly addictive experience. 4.5/5 stars
Graphics and Sound
Jon - The game is meant to be a cartoon and in that respect THQ passes with flying colours. It certainly harkened back to a game like Ultima Fighter in that respect. As always with THQ games though, the repetitive commentary kills so much of the game enjoyment. Muting the game is always an option though, so I won't complain too much. 3.5/5 stars
Marshall - When performing a signature move or finisher, character's movements are highlighted by brilliant streams of colour, illustrating the punishing impact as time slows down. Sound is decent, especially when Eddie Guerrero executes the "The Gori Special," as vertebrae crunch and bones crackle. Like previous THQ wrestling games, though, there's plenty of repetition in the commentary, along with several glitches (the announcers sometimes call a rather different match than the one unfolding onscreen). 4/5 stars
Colin - Visually, this is a drastic departure from the more realistic Smackdown vs. Raw series, though it bears some similarities to THQ's fun-but-flawed 2009 title Legends of WrestleMania. Musculatures are inflated, brows are Cro-Magnon and finishing moves are seismically powerful. The laws of physics no longer apply, allowing Rey Mysterio to toss Andre the Giant around like a ragdoll, and The Big Show to unleash 15-foot leaping chokeslams. Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross provide commentary, spouting most of the usual observations but throwing in some interesting historical tidbits for good measure. 4/5 stars
Character Selection
Jon - To describe the choices as limited would be generous. I'm guessing the character build enhancements had a lot to do with this, lest the game be slowed. What WWE had to work with though was pretty extensive, even going to far as to include Hulk Hogan on the roster. You can always ask for more but I'm fairly happy with who was included on the Legends side. 3.5/5 stars
Marshall - The roster of 30 wrestlers seems a bit thin, given the split between contemporary superstars and classic legends -- not to mention lack of realism. It would have made for a great opportunity to finally include Hornswoggle as a playable character. From the past, they could have dug deeper back into the '70s -- Bruno Sammartino, Killer Kowalski, or Superstar Billy Graham would have made formidable opponents against Rey Mysterio, John Morrison or Big Show. 3.5/5 stars
Colin - Given that realism has been thrown out the window, without the need for voice-overs or true-to-life motion-capture, I don't see why THQ kept the roster relatively small. Without drastically more effort, they could have included a who's-who of wrestling, including old-old-school legends and obscure ham-and-eggers. Instead, we're given a couple-dozen stars of the '80s, the Attitude Era and present-day WWE. 3.5/5 stars
CAW (Create a Wrestler)
Jon - As someone who devotes a decent amount of time to CAWs on regular WWE games, I was a bit miffed at the limitations here. Throwing realism out the window isn't a big deal, but I wasn't inspired to create the dozen or so wrestlers I'm used to making each year. 3/5 stars
Marshall - In any of the THQ games, creating a wrestler has always been a tedious exercise. I've struggled for eternities to accurately capture the face-paint and hairstyles for characters like Iceman Parsons, The Great Kabuki and The Missing Link. Having said that, WWE All Stars sets the tone by forsaking realism for fun, while still offering instantly recognizable characters whose biceps bulge and pecs hyperinflate -- which makes for a lot more room for imagination and interpretation in CAW. 4/5 stars
Colin - I've never had much patience for create-a-wrestler modes, since I invariably get fed up with fine-tuning things like jaw-width and belly-girth. But I was pleasantly surprised by the straightforward, easy-to-navigate system in WWE All-Stars, particularly because it contains a number of templates that help you bypass a lot of the time-consuming minutiae. Thanks to this template system, I was able to easily create The Yeti -- the preposterous eight-foot-tall mummy character who attacked Hulk Hogan at WCW's 1995 Halloween Havoc fiasco. 4/5 stars
Marshall - Path of Champions is the closest thing here to a career mode, and though it lacks depth, this more easy-to-complete mode is lots of fun. The videos between matches are entertaining, and tie in nicely with the exhilarating presentation of the game. Three-way and four-way matches can be challenging and may require a retry, along with the steel cage match (escaping requires some precise timing). 4/5 stars
Colin - Whereas the Smackdown vs. Raw series offers immersive story modes and nerdy be-the-promoter simulation capabilities, WWE All-Stars errs on the side of simplicity. The Fantasy Warfare mode is a treat for long-time fans, with beautifully edited video vignettes hyping the greatest-matches-that-never-were. It is up to you, the gamer, to determine who is "The Coldest Snake" (Jake Roberts vs. Randy Orton) or who is the real Excellence of Execution (Edge vs. Bret Hart). While the vignettes are entertaining the first time through, there's very little replay value to this mode. 3.5/5 stars
Jon - While the simplicity of fighting was alluring at first, it wasn't enough to sustain my interest. I've got too many of those sorts of titles on my shelf already, and Smackdown vs. Raw games cover my wrestling fix better than WWE All-Stars will. I applaud THQ for wanting to do something different, but this just didn't jive with me. 2.5/5 stars
Marshall - This bombastic approach to a wrestling game, accompanied by elaborate videos that use WWE's signature style of dramatic storytelling and voiceovers, makes for a refreshingly enjoyable package. With a fantastic sense of fun and freedom, the creators made this competitive fighting game one of the very best available on the Wii. Nice pacing during the matches, along with precision, strategy, and a smattering of exclusive moves for every wrestler, should satisfy even hardcore wrestling gamers. And though I believe nothing can top the 1985 Technos arcade classic Exciting Hour, WWE All-Stars gets two masking-taped thumbs up. 4/5 stars
Colin - What this game lacks in depth, it makes up for with simple, colourful gameplay and enough high-impact theatrics to appease wrestling fans and Tekken gurus alike. It's certainly not the greatest wrestling game ever made (in my opinion, that honour still belongs to Giant Gram, the All-Japan Pro Wrestling game that was worth buying a Japanese Dreamcast to play), but it's a refreshing, addictive twist on the genre. As someone who fondly remembers pumping quarters into the arcade version of Street Fighter II, I'm happy to have this button-mashing brawler as part of my PS3 collection. 4/5 stars

Herbiary, the herbal retailer at 7751 Germantown Ave. that was renting space at the rear of 133 E. Mermaid Lane for classes and consulting, suffered another setback at Thursday night's meeting of Chestnut Hill Community Association Board, which voted to oppose the property owner's request for a zoning variance that Herbiary co-owners Andrew Celwyn and Maia Toll need in order to comply with existing zoning.
According to the motion approved by the Board, the classes being conducted by Herbiary in a rear building at the location are not acceptable under the current zoning.
In his address to the Board, Celwyn began by saying that the property has been the home of a commercial enterprise of one sort or another since the 1920s, something the neighbors knew about when they moved in. He said Herbiary has hosted meetings and held classes at the space since the fall of 2011 and there were no complaints from the neighbors for the first year.
In September 2012, Celwyn said he was approached by neighbors who were concerned about the location of signs he had posted and about client parking. Shortly thereafter he applied for a new use permit with and was denied by the Department of Licenses and Inspections.
Confusing the issue further, the basis for the denial had nothing to do with Herbiary's use of the property but instead involved the conversion of an on-site office to an apartment without approval from the city. These two issues have confused the matter and tensions between Herbiary and the neighbors have escalated ever since.
"Since the use has been used commercially since the 1920s and the particular space that we are in was part of that very first commercial use, we do not see any issue with our use of the space," Celwyn said. He added that they have the same use and occupancy permit required for the use of any commercial space.
"While we consider our use appropriate under the existing permit, these neighbors refused to meet with us and were adamant that we obtain a new use permit," he said.
According to Celwyn, the opposing neighbors are difficult to reach, complicating efforts to come to a resolution.
He told the Board that Herbiary was willing to accept provisos that would limit the number of classes and continue their limited use of the space. In the last six months, he said, the space has only been used 20 times, with an average of three or four times a month. He said that more frequent use is not a part of their business plan.
"This particular space is still conducive to our use because of a property in the rear where we are helping to develop a garden," he said.
The neighbors opposed to Herbiary's presence were once again represented by Kristoffer Jacobson of 131 E. Mermaid Lane, who began his address to the Board by saying Herbiary was operating illegally and that the application Celwyn filled out to get a new variance contained errors.
"Instead of asking for a new use," Jacobson said, "the applicant [Celwyn] said that he was continuing a use."
Jacobson said that by focusing on the apartment and not the business use, Celwyn was evading the real issue.
Celwyn denied that, saying he filled out the application for a use permit under the guidance of people at the Department of Licenses and Inspections, and that any errors that resulted were not his fault.
"There was no deception," he said.
Board member Stephanie Chomentowski said that even if the process has been flawed the only solution may be to start the process over.
Celywn asked instead for an up or down vote from the Board, saying the cost of starting again was significant and something he hoped to avoid.
Board member Richard Snowden noted that historical events have resulted in the mixing together of different uses in this neighborhood. Whether that mix is a reality in the future is something the community has to decide.
"I'm not sure that's what we want going forward," he said. "It's a laudable business, but we need to consider those around it." Rather than see the expansion of a commercial use in a residential district, Snowden said he'd like to see Herbiary expand along the Avenue.
Ellen Deacon, owner of 133 E. Mermaid Lane, said it wouldn't be possible.
"What they do here cannot be done along the Avenue," she said.
Deacon addressed the Board to explain her vision of community for this and other immediately adjacent properties. She said she came to Chestnut Hill in 2004 and bought the properties on E. Mermaid Lane (she also owns 127 E. Mermaid Lane) with a vision of creating a community, something she stressed throughout the course of her address.
"I wanted to come here and age in place," she said. "I'm not just passing in the night."
She said envisioned the commercial use in the back of the property as having a people-centered use, rather than one that was strictly for business. She said Herbiary was the right business to help her achieve that.
Not all of her neighbors agreed with her version of community.
"I just want to say very clearly that we do not share that vision," said Douglas Martenson, a resident of E. Mermaid Lane and a vocal opponent of Herbiary's use of the property.
Martenson was one of several residents of E. Mermaid Lane present who oppose Herbiary's use of the space.
Herbiary co-owner Maia Toll addressed the Board to protest the neighbors' tactics in addressing the issue. She referred to a packet of information the neighbors distributed to the Development Review Committee at their February 19 meeting that contained photographs of Herbiary students on the property that Toll described as having been taken through the hedges.
"I totally respect that we have issues," Toll said, " but I am appalled and flabbergasted these photos were taken. It is illegal to photograph someone without their permission."
Jacobson defended the photo taking by saying it was important to gather evidence to support their claims.
"We had to document the use before turning in our complaint because L & I has no inspectors on weekends," he said.
Board members Joyce Lenhardt and Stephanie Chomentowski stressed the importance of process and recommended that Celwyn reapply with the correct information. Snowden encouraged both Herbiary and the neighbors to keep talking.

Newborn calves require special attention immediately after birth to decrease the risk of disease and death during the pre-weaning period. There is also now ample scientific evidence that disease and poor growth in calves is well correlated with poor performance during the first lactation. The most important meal in the life of the calf is the first meal. When evaluating colostrum management, I like to talk about the three T's: TIME, TRASH and TOTAL.
Time is important for the cow and the calf. We want to harvest the colostrum from the cow as soon as possible after birth. The amount of antibodies in the colostrum decreases with time. The highest levels are in the first milk. Leaking of milk after or before calving will greatly decrease the amount of antibodies in the colostrum. Antibodies are a big molecule that must be absorbed across the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. These "holes" in the intestines that absorb the colostrum close rapidly within the first few hours of the life of the calf. After eight to 12 hours, approximately 50% of the ability to absorb colostrum is gone.
Trash is anything in the colostrum that is not healthy for the calf. If it isn't fat, protein or antibodies, then we do not want to give it to the calf. One of the most important things for dairy producers to realize is that trash will ruin even the best-quality colostrum and make calves immediately unhealthy. Some of this trash we can see such as blood or manure. Neither of these belong in colostrum. Discard colostrum that is contaminated with blood. Make sure that udders are cleaned and free of all manure and flame off hair if needed.
The trash that is more dangerous is what we cannot see…..bacteria! While all milk contains some amount of bacteria, dangerous levels can grow in colostrum that is not handled and harvested properly. The first step is to milk clean udders only. The next step is to milk the cow into sanitized equipment as well as sanitizing anything that contacts the colostrum. Treat all of this equipment like you would your pipeline! Rinse with warm water, scrub with hot soapy water and then use an acid rinse to properly sanitize. If the colostrum will not be fed immediately, it should be cooled with ice packs then placed into the refrigerator or freezer. If colostrum is placed directly into the refrigerator or freezer, it will not only warm up the refrigerator but it takes too long to chill and allows bacteria to overgrow. Bacterial contamination is a common problem with colostrum and can easily kill a calf from "food poisoning." If your calves are getting sick within 24 hours of birth, it is often trash that is causing the problem.
Culturing your colostrum for bacterial counts is a good way to check your trash levels. An excellent tool that all sizes of dairy farms should consider is a pasteurizer. This will decrease bacteria counts in the colostrum, while preserving antibody levels.
We want calves to receive 150 to 200 grams of antibodies in the first meal. Testing colostrum is an excellent way to evaluate antibody level. This can be done with a colostrometer or a newer technology, a Brix refractometer. The advantage of the Brix refractometer is that it uses one drop of colostrum and gives a digital readout that is not influenced by temperature. A score of 22% Brix indicates colostrum over 50 grams per liter which is good quality. Therefore, we would need to feed 3-4 liters to achieve immunity. There is almost no case where 2 quarts of colostrum would provide adequate immunity for a calf.
Almost every disease outbreak in calves can be traced to a breakdown of colostrum management. If your dairy is experiencing a scours outbreak, culture the colostrum and check the quality. Evaluating the blood total protein will enable your veterinarian to determine if calves immune status is adequate. Producers often want to reach for vaccines and medication when calves are sick; however, using your veterinarian to find out where the hole in the colostrum management is occurring can ensure that your calves have a healthy start.

The deadline to submit nominations to the CHCA to run for the organization's board was Friday, March 16. Eight people turned in nominating petitions for eight seats, meaning each candidates will automatically get a seat on the board. There will be no election.
Incumbents Stephanie Chomentowski, Christopher Padova, Walt Sullivan and Brien Tilley are joined by former board member, Tom Cullen, current treasurer (but not an elected member of the board) Tony Reilly, and newcomers Michelle Lordi and Laura Lucas.
Seven people are rotating off of the board because their terms end and they did not seek reelection. Those individuals are Lou Aiello, Tom Hemphill, Vanessa Mullen, Jay Valinis, Fran O'Donnell and Art and Lisa Webb Howe.
This year's board has 31 members. That number is shrinking by four members to a full board of 28 in keeping with a bylaw proposal to shrink the overall size of the board that was passed several years ago. This year's reduction is the last time the board will shrink.
Elections for the board typically take place during the annual meeting, which this year will take place on Thursday, April 19. While there will be no election for board members, there will be a ballot for a number of bylaws proposals. That ballot will be printed in the Local for several weeks starting next week.
The new board members will begin three year terms at the first meeting of the year on Thursday, May 24. Officers will be elected at that meeting by the board.

"Zoo" Filmmakers Begin Shooting New Documentary
on Would-Be Gerald Ford Assassin Sarah Jane Moore
Sundance Channel Playing "Zoo" All This Week Prior to Festival
After Film Is Named Named One of Top 25 Indie Films of the Decade
SEATTLE, WA, January 6th 2010 – The filmmaking team of "Zoo" and "Police Beat" – writer/director Robinson Devor, writer Charles Mudede and cinematographer Sean Kirby, in association with producer Zach Sebastian's "Pamphlet & Parable" – have begun filming a new documentary on Sara Jane Moore, a suburban, middle-aged wife and mother who attempted to assassinate U.S. President Gerald Ford on September 22, 1975 outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.
In a very short time, Moore went from country clubs and nurseries to meetings with violent Marxist radicals who advocated the overthrow of government by violent force. Strangely, she was also a narc for the FBI. Torn between loyalties, Moore eventually gave information to both the FBI and the radical left. Her exposure led to death threats from both camps, and the hatching of a plan to assassinate Ford.
Now eighty and free on parole after thirty five years in prison, Moore agreed to fly back to San Francisco for the first time to do a four day interview on camera. Filming took place all over the city, including inside the St Francis Hotel (where she was thrown to the floor and interrogated for several hours after the assassination attempt) and the Federal Building where she had multiple meetings with her FBI control agents.
"She led an incredible life," says Devor. "She was a Southern girl who joined the army in her teens during World War Two and patrolled the US coast for German submarines. She reinvented her self in Los Angeles in the fifties and sixties where she became a Hollywood insider married to the Oscar winning sound designer of 'Citizen Kane.' By the seventies, she was remarried and settled in a conservative upscale East Bay neighborhood with a young son. She would commute one hour each way into San Francisco to be educated as both a Marxist and an FBI informant – all the while commuting back to the suburbs to pick-up her son from private school."
"We can see in her the two extreme sides of American politics: the far right and the radical left," ventures Mudede. "These extremes are still with us today. But at one moment in history, Sara's body was the site of this struggle between the forces of conservatism and revolution. The conclusion of this struggle was a bullet flying in the direction of an American president."
"Like 'Man on a Wire', this is one of those incredible tales that recent American history has seemed to forget, " says Sebastian. "Not only is it a compelling character portrait, it is also a strange and thrilling story that perfectly captures the mood of mid-70's high paranoia. Think of it as Errol Morris' 'Mr. Death' meets Francis Ford Coppola's "The Conversation.'"
Despite the San Francisco locale, Devor is keeping things local to Seattle. He brought crew down from Seattle, rented gear from Oppenheimer Camera, and is using Modern Digital for transferring and post.

Robinson Devor – BIO
Robinson Devor 's last feature film, ZOO, made its world premier at 2007 Sundance Film Festival, and then went on to play at the prestigious Cannes film festival. The film was picked up for distribution by ThinkFilms and has played in theaters around the world. The press has called the film "masterful" (Dennis Lim, New York Times), "beautiful and beguiling" (Village Voice), and "a breathtakingly original nonfiction work" (Scott Foundras, Variety). It was recently named by Filmmaker as "One of the Top 25 Indie Films of The Decade."
In 2005, Robinson Devor premiered his second feature film, POLICE BEAT, in Dramatic Competition at Sundance 2005. The film was called "emotionally devastating" (Rolling Stone), "a visual knockout" (Variety) and "Sundance at its best" (Los Angeles Times), as well as named one of the year's best films by the New York Times, Film Comment and Art Forum. For his efforts, Devor was nominated for a 2006 Indie Spirit Award and 2005 Gotham Award. The film has since been included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
Named one of Variety's "10 Directors To Watch" in 2000, Devor made his feature film directorial debut with THE WOMAN CHASER. Debuting at The New York Film Festival and then at Sundance, THE WOMAN CHASER received critical high marks throughout its US theatrical run ("Wicked and Brilliant", The New Yorker; "A Masterpiece", MovieMaker Magazine).
A 2002 Fellow at the Sundance Institute, Devor collaborated with Seattle journalist Charles Mudede (co-writer of POLICE BEAT) on the feature script, SUPERPOWER, the story of an African child soldier attempting to recapture his childhood after a civil war.

With the first week of the regular season still three months away, there is little reason for veteran players to push through minor injuries at this stage of the offseason.
Tight end Jermaine Gresham has been one of handful of members of the Cincinnati Bengals sidelined with injuries while recovering from injuries this offseason. However, the exact issue keeping Gresham out had not been revealed by the Bengals' staff.
"He's just not out here because he's not practicing. He's doing what he has to do," head coach Marvin Lewis said.
According to Field Yates of ESPN.com, the reason Gresham has been unable to participate is he is recovering from hernia surgery.
Gresham caught 46 passes for 458 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games for the Bengals last season. The team re-signed Alex Smith Monday to add to the depth at the position as both Gresham and Tyler Eifert are unable to participate.
Both Gresham and Eifert are expected to be healthy in time for training camp in July.

- Did anyone see Bruno Mars' silly tantrum backstage after Adele won for best pop vocalist?
- Chris Brown. Quit your lip synching or gtfo the stage.
- I don't think I could ever get sick of The Foo Fighters.
- I actually enjoyed Dave Grohl's speech and appreciate him for voicing his opinion, but it's a shame they cut him off…
- I could've sworn I saw a twinkle in Mark Foster's eye when he was singing The Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice." My heart melted because it felt like he was just singing straight to me.
- John Legend grooving to The Beach Boys was also quite adorable.
- The Beach Boys are looking and sounding pretty great for their age! It feels like just yesterday I was watching them on that one episode of Full House.
- Nope Chris Brown, we don't have to forgive you. The Grammy's can put you in our faces all they want, but I'm not budging.
- Even though it wasn't well received, I loved Taylor Swift's dress during her performance of "Mean." Now if I could only find out who the designer was…
- Neil Patrick Harris is a babe.
- I am still amazed by Katy Perry every time I hear anything about her and her music. Does anyone remember the poor review I gave her nearly two years ago? She's grown as an artist definitely, but I'm not taking back anything I said. Her new song has potential for being the new girl anthem of 2012 though.
- Adele SLAYED w/ her performance!
- Bon Iver for Best New Artist – YAY! Great speech.
- Jennifer Hudson's tribute to Whitney Houston: Flawless
- Nicki Minaj's performance is not as family-friendly as I thought it would be. It was downright terrifying.
- Adele is also the loveliest human being ever. What a doll! She totally deserved all of her awards tonight.
- (and none for Lady Gaga – sad day)
On an important related note, this HelloGiggles post about why people shouldn't be okay with Chris Brown performing at the Grammy's is quite insightful. I've had a similar opinion for awhile, but usually when I talk about that I make jabs at his performance and the more obvious scandal. This writer, however, has got some pretty solid facts and it is worth reading. And not to start something controversial, but the reason why that HelloGiggles post is mentioned on Yow Yow is so we can avoid things like this. It's important for all of us to remember that there's a border between a play on words or a play off pop culture, but this is not one of those times. It's not cute anymore especially when it involves Chris Brown. Typing things like this out as a tweet is not the same as feeling the same way or wanting to be in that situation. Not being able to tell the difference between these things frightens me and makes me fear for the safety of other young women that have this notion in their head that it is okay to say these things.

Early Background
Matthew Ayala Sanchez was born Dec. 1, 1970, and raised in San Jose, California. He attended Independence High School, but apparently did not graduate. After high school, he remained in the Bay Area, where he dated a number of men but failed to form any lasting attachments.
In the 1990s, Sanchez appeared in a series of gay pornographic videos for a number of prominent studios under the name "Rod Majors" and "Pierre LaBranche." Later in the 1990s and in the first decade of the 2000s, Sanchez worked as a prostitute, using the names "Excellent Top" and "No Regrets Massage." In the 1990s, he charged $200 for an "in call" involving a customer's visit to a prostitute's residence. As he aged, Sanchez reduced his in-call rate to $125.
Becoming "Cpl. Sanchez"
Sanchez joined the Marine Corps Reserve in May 2003 on an eight-year contract, and was trained as a refrigeration mechanic. In June 2005, on account of an undisclosed medical condition, Sanchez was transferred to the USMC's Individual Ready Reserve ("IRR"), a pool of inactive reservists whose sole obligation to the military is to keep their service informed of changes of address.
In 2007, the Marine Corps investigated media reports of Sanchez's porn performances, prostitution, and allegations that he had improperly solicited funds from a military charity and the U-Haul Corp. for a forthcoming trip to Iraq as an embedded blogger and reporter there.
Late in 2007, the Marine Corps informed Sanchez of its intention to discharge him from its reserve force altogether on the grounds that his enlistment had been erroneous. Federal law shields the results of military personnel investigations from release without the consent of the indivudual under investigation, and Sanchez has refused to release the USMC's report on his case. However, in mid-2007, Sanchez dropped any mention of his military rank from his articles.
Columbia University Controversies
Sanchez entered New York University in 2004, and in 2005 transferred to Columbia University's School of General Studies, an extension program that gives special preferences to minorities and military personnel. In 2005 and 2006, he became known for his complaints about "the odd disconnect between Columbia University, an elite institution of higher learning, and the Marine Corps, an elite branch of the military."
Sanchez's criticism of Columbia began with an incident of what Sanchez claimed was harrassment by campus socialists in the fall of 2005. According to Sanchez, members of the International Socialist Organization called him a "baby killer" and a "stupid minority" for his affiliation with the Marine Corps.
Members of the socialist group denied Sanchez's version of events. When Columbia's administration declined to punish the students who Sanchez claimed had harrassed him, he took his case to the blogosphere and the op-ed pages of several newspapers. He repeated his version of the clash with the socialist group and denounced Columbia for "hypocrisy on inclusiveness" for not upholding his complaint.
Fox News, CPAC and the Emergence of Sanchez's Past
Sanchez's campaign against Columbia's administration led to multiple appearances on conservative Fox News programs during 2006. His activities attracted support among conservatives; on March 2, 2007, he was given a "Jeanne Kirkpatrick Academic Freedom Award" by the Conservative Political Action Conference. On the day he accepted the CPAC award, Ann Coulter, a right-wing commentator, drew applause at the same meeting when she used the word "faggot" in reference to former Sen. John Edwards, a Democratic candidate for president.
In the ensuing uproar, a handful of gay blogs reported Sanchez's gay porn appearances and prostitution, and expressed outrage at Sanchez for accepting an award from conservatives who had applauded Coulter's use of an anti-gay slur. Within days, the story had been featured on Countdown, a liberal news commentary program broadcast by MSNBC.
Shortly after his background was exposed, Sanchez admitted his porn acting and his prostitution, but claimed they were part of an abandoned past. Later, he denied the prostitution, and claimed that he had never been homosexual. He made a number of contradictory claims to have been married and to have had two fiancees and various girlfriends.
None of the claims has been backed up by marriage records or statements from wives, fiancees, or girlfriends. By contrast, a number of men who dated Sanchez over the years have stepped forward to describe their experiences with him, and there have been a number of reviews of his performances as a gay prostitute published on-line.
Gay Porn and Prostitution
As of 2010, Sanchez's alter-egos, Rod Majors and Pierre LaBranche, were listed in the casts of 51 gay videos. An undetermined number of Sanchez's videos consist of compilations of previously recorded material. In the gay videos, Sanchez assumed various stock roles, including uniformed police officer, cowboy, and "Tijuana Toilet Tramp."
On March 8, 2007, Sanchez wrote an article for Salon.com in which he took note of reports "claiming that I too had advertised my services as a male escort." He wrote of the prostitution allegation: "I won't deny it, or that I acted in several adult movies 15 years ago under names like Pierre LaBranche and Rod Majors." The following day, Alan Colmes, a liberal Fox News commentator, twice asked Sanchez whether he had worked as a male prostitute. Sanchez answered "Yes" to both questions.
Colmes confronted Sanchez with an allegation that he had run thinly-disguised prostitution ads in The New York Blade, a gay newspaper, under the name, "No Regrets Massage." Sanchez denied a "No Regrets Massage" connection, but acknowledged working as a masseur and advertising in gay publications. He claimed to be a licensed massage therapist, but the registry of licensed massage therapists in New York, where he resides, shows no record of his holding a massage license there.
Sanchez later claimed that his admissions of prostitution had been misconstrued by Colmes and fabricated by Salon.com. He also denied accusations by gay bloggers that he had registered and operated a website, Excellent Top.com, which offered an escort's services for $250 an hour for "out calls" and $200 an hour for "in calls." The site owner's address is the same as Sanchez's address.
Later activities
In March 2007, Sanchez claimed to have been made a partner in an unnamed marketing firm. In May and June 2007, his personal website featured audio and video clips that he recorded while traveling as an embedded blogger and reporter. A number of right wing publications, particularly World Net Daily and a Fox News website, have featured Sanchez's articles. In 2008, he announced his intention to write a book to be titled, Gay Jihad: What the radical homosexual movement has in store for you and your family. As of late 2009, no book had been published.
As late as 2009, Sanchez was making occasional appearances on Fox programs. In late 2009, he moved to California, and in 2010 he claimed to have been given a "project development" job by a large company in L.A. Throughout 2009 and into 2010, Sanchez occasionally sent messages through a Twitter account, emphasizing his right-wing views.

Drinking can be an expensive habit. You may not notice a dollar here or two dollars there, but think about how much you spend on alcohol each week. It can add up.
One drink is one 12-ounce bottle or can of beer or wine cooler; one 5-ounce glass of wine; or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits. The amount of alcohol in any size drink will vary based on the amount of alcohol in the drink. For example, the amount of alcohol in a 12-ounce beer can vary from 4% to 6% or more.
A 750 ml bottle of wine contains about 5 5-ounce glasses. A liter bottle contains about 6 glasses.
A fifth of distilled spirits contains about 25 1-ounce shots. A quart contains about 32 shots, and a liter contains about 33 shots.
On average, your drinking costs are per week and per year.
A daily drink, such as a glass of wine, may lower your risk for heart attack and stroke. Keep your alcohol use at a reasonable level so you can enjoy those benefits. For men, a reasonable level is 1 to 2 drinks per day. For women, it is no more than 1 drink a day.
About 1 in every 13 American adults - or more than 14 million! - abuses alcohol or has alcohol dependence (alcoholism). Abusing or misusing alcohol can cause serious, or even life-threatening, problems.
Heavy drinking may raise the risk for cancers of the liver, esophagus, throat, and larynx. Heavy drinking can also cause high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis, immune system problems, brain damage, and alcoholic hepatitis. It can harm to the fetus during pregnancy. Some of these problems happen over time. Women are more likely to have these problems in a shorter time than are men.
Hangovers that happen after having 5 to 6 drinks (for a 175-pound man) or 3 to 5 drinks (for a 130-pound woman) are likely to affect a person''s heart, nerves, and mental health.
Drinking raises the risk for death and injuries from automobile crashes and accidents in the home. Drinking can also lead to public disorder, family abuse, or social difficulties. Murders and suicides are more likely to be done by people who have been drinking.
Drinking can lead to problems on the job. These include absenteeism, lowered productivity, and lowered quality of work.
Weigh the costs, benefits, and risks of your own drinking to see if your drinking is affordable, healthy, and
safe for you.

Milly S. Barranger, Dean at the College of Fellows of the American Theatre and Distinguished Professor Emerita at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, visited the Ransom Center in July on a fellowship funded by the Fleur Cowles Endowment to study the Audrey Wood papers for her upcoming book Audrey Wood and the Playwrights: Shaping American Theatre and Film in the Last Century. The book will be her fourth on pioneering women in the American theater in the mid-twentieth century. Below, she shares her experience working in the collections.
The Hazel H. Ransom Reading Room at the Ransom Center is a treasure of interstitial resources on American theater and its creators from Eugene O'Neill to Lillian Hellman and Terrence McNally. The Center's award of a travel fellowship afforded me the opportunity to return for a second time to the Audrey Wood papers to do a complete review of the more than 60 boxes containing materials on the literary agent's representation of playwrights and their plays for the commercial theater. The considerable files present the life and career of Audrey Wood (1905–1985), along with her clients and their playbills, scripts, musical scores, photographs, and correspondence, and the business records of the Liebling-Wood Agency. The correspondence between the literary agent and her clients reveals the nature of their relationships during Broadway failures and successes. As Audrey Wood said, the commercial theater is a "tough business," and these files reveal just how difficult it was for clients and their agents in the mid-twentieth century.
Based on my experiences in other research libraries, I have concluded that the ability to work with a collection that consolidates materials on the subject results in a highly productive research experience. I have written on subjects that required travel from one collection to another to review the career and interactions with associates and co-workers. The Center's large collection of materials affords the researcher the luxury of remaining in one place to scrutinize, in this instance, the literary agent's life story.
In addition, the ambience and orderliness of the Reading Room favors uninterrupted scholarship in the knowledge that across the table from you other research fellows are hard at work on Irish dramatic literature or Tom Stoppard. In other words, although undisturbed, you share the company of exceptional scholars.
The splendor of the Reading Room is that the researcher's needs have been carefully anticipated in the organization of the collections, the retrieval system for files, the attentive staff, and the ambience of the room itself. It is my hope that my next research project mandates a return to the Ransom Center.

When surveys don't give you the overwhelming result you're looking for, there's only one thing left to do — cook your numbers. This was the tactic employed by the Consumers Union, the non-profit publisher of Consumer Reports, after it conducted a poll recently on genetically engineered crops.
The CU was miffed by a USDA draft environmental impact statement (EIS) on GE alfalfa which in the CU's words, "indicated that consumers and organic farmers don't care if their organic food is GE contaminated."
The CU created a poll to refute USDA's EIS findings, but unfortunately for them, the results fell short of expectations. So apparently they turned the numbers over to the shrewdest and most ruthless manipulator of data they could find — their marketing department.
Consequently, on March 2, the poll results were released with a headline that blared, "Two-thirds of organic food consumers concerned with genetically-engineered contamination."
Michael Hansen, senior scientist with the CU, declared that the CU poll contradicted USDA's position, and showed that "consumers care greatly," about potential GE contamination.
The CU news release went on to say, "Given the popularity of alfalfa sprouts among health-oriented eaters, Consumers Union urges USDA to consider the overwhelming consumer concern before deciding to allow GE alfalfa on the market."
Closer examination reveals trickery afoot.
To its credit, the CU provided this link to the survey results, Organic Food Poll, perhaps hoping that few people would actually take a peek inside. I did, and discovered that I could use the exact same numbers to arrive at a completely different conclusion.
I began with an assertion in the CU news release that "58 percent of all respondents were extremely concerned, very concerned or somewhat concerned with GE contamination."
I found that in actuality, only 24 percent of all respondents were in the very concerned and extremely concerned categories, while 34 percent said they were only somewhat concerned. A whopping 41 percent claimed they were not concerned at all. To me, being somewhat concerned is a whole lot closer to being not concerned than it is to being very concerned or extremely concerned. In fact, if I tell a pollster I'm somewhat concerned, I might be saying I don't much care at all. So my personal take would be that 75 percent were not very concerned or not concerned at all about GE contamination.
As to the CU's claim that two-thirds of organic consumers were concerned about GE contamination, again it's a matter of how you crunch the numbers. A surprising 33 percent of those who buy organic products were not concerned about GE contamination and 35 percent were only somewhat concerned. My conclusion therefore would be that 68 percent of organic consumers had very little or no concern about GE contamination.
So there you have it, two steaming plates of statistics, each half-baked to suit the taste du jour — with alfalfa sprouts on the side.
