CNN last week reported that Ambassador Christopher Stevens feared he was on an al-Qaeda "hit-list" before he was killed in an attack on the American consulate in Benghazi earlier this month.
They added that he was concerned about a "rise in Islamic extremism" in the city. Viewers were told that the information was obtained from a "source familiar with Ambassador Stevens's thinking".
This was in fact a journal of handwritten entries by Mr Stevens, which was found by a reporter on the floor of the compound where the diplomat was fatally wounded.
After being informed of the discovery, Mr Stevens's family repeatedly told CNN that they wanted to inspect the book before giving them permission for its contents to be reported.
However, after eventually agreeing to hand over the seven-page hard-back book through a third party, the network disclosed Mr Stevens's fears about al-Qaeda and security threats before the family's permission was granted.
It only informed viewers of the original source after being questioned by a media reporter for the Huffington Post, a news website, who had been tipped off about the journal's existence.
"Some of that information was found in a personal journal of Ambassador Stevens in his handwriting," Anderson Cooper told viewers on Friday. "We came upon the journal through our reporting and notified the family. At their request, we returned that journal to them. We reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassador's writings." The network was condemned as "disgusting" and "indefensible" for going against the family's wishes by Phillippe Reines, a senior aide to Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State.
He asked in a statement: "Whose first instinct is to remove from a crime scene the diary of a man killed along with three other Americans serving our country, read it, transcribe it, email it around your newsroom for others to read, and only when their curiosity is fully satisfied thinks to call the family or notify the authorities?"
A spokesman for the network said it had pursued details gleaned from the journal with its own reporting before broadcasting them. He accused the State Department of "attacking the messenger".
"CNN did not initially report on the existence of a journal out of respect for the family," the spokesman said. "But we felt there were issues raised in the journal which required full reporting, which we did."

As an ADHD and attention coach, I try to focus on paying attention to what YOU'RE paying attention to. I focus on individuality, and more importantly, I focus on achieving the Aha! Not everyone has the Aha! moment at quite the same time or in the same way. For some, it comes quickly and suddenly while for others there may be a gradual process or build up that leads to an Aha! moment.
Laura, one of my clients, was gracious enough to share her experience that led to her Aha! moment and also led to the development of a time management system that works wonders for her. Continue reading "An ADHD Aha on Managing Time"

Graceful, finely textured evergreen trees.
Check out some of the many varieties we have to offer...
*Please contact us to find out more about our current availability*
We are a retail garden center servicing our local community & currently not able to ship products
tsuga canadensis 'Betty Rose'
An extremely slow-growing, mound with an irregular shape, this specimen produces white-tipped foliage that takes on a blush of light pink in spring. The tiny hemlock has many qualities a conifer collector desires: foliage, color and a tight, petite form.
Tsuga canadensis 'Cole's Prostrate'
An outstanding, underutilized hemlock, this spreading cultivar has stiff main branches that knuckle under & bend downwards to create a truly prostrate form. Gnarly interior branches show off the plant's silver bark, which adds dimension to the exceptional, low plant. Use the garden gem to drape over or around stones or walls in a site with partial shade.
Tsuga canadensis 'Golden Duchess'
Like a jewel in the landscape, this superb new dwarf nearly glows with golden yellow foliage on graceful, arching branches. Its low, mounding form and improved sun tolerance over other gold varieties makes it perfect for woodland or rock gardens. A stunning container specimen. Plant en masse for a truly dramatic effect.
tsuga canadensis 'Jervis'
Features tight, dark green foliage and a densely branched, broad pyramidal habit. Will grow slowly in your garden in an irregular form, making it an interesting focal point that will not outgrow its place. The prominent buds and short twiggy growth make this a unique plant, adding year round interest to any garden.
Tsuga canadensis 'Moon Frost'
Bright, white, new growth with older, inner foliage that retains a light tone combine to give this plant a distinctly white appearance. In winter foliage takes on a blush of pink. A compact globe when young, 'Moon Frost' broadens & increases its growth rate with age, but remains a reliably small, dwarf plant.
Tsuga canadensis 'pendula'
A most graceful dense mounding shrub with broadly spreading branches that create a weeping effect with the deep green, finely textured foliage. An exceptional accent for large rock gardens or border plantings. Thrives in full sun to full shade.
Tsuga canadensis 'Summer Snow'
The new spring growth of this cultivar is white, which produces a striking contrast against the dark-green interior foliage on the fast-growing, upright, broad plant. Its size, shape & colorful growth make it an extremely useful highlight for shade gardens.
Tsuga diversifolia 'Loowit'
Small, blunt needles look like green grains of rice interspersed with tiny brown buds. Diminutive branches crowded with branchlets form a tight, congested bun. This dwarf hemlock was selected from seed collected in the high alpine region of Fukushima prefecture, Japan. It was given the Native American name for Mt. St. Helens, Iseli Nursery's famous volcanic neighbor.
Thuja heterophylla 'Thorsen's Weeping'
Rich, emerald-green foliage is arranged densely on the procumbent branches of this extraordinary small hemlock. When staked, the plant becomes a narrow, upright form with sweeping secondary branches that produce a full, soft look. It is strikingly beautiful both as a cascading form & as a groundcover, allowed to ramble through the understory.
Thuja mertensiana
Native to mountains along the Pacific coast, the Mountain Hemlock is an elegant species with stout branches clothed densely with gray-green, radically-arranged needles. Lend a mountain flavor to garden settings with a drift of several to create a striking alpine scene or site a specimen to make a handsome focal point.

Holy old code, Batman -- it's been about 2.5 years since I first blogged about the Twisted mail server I cobbled together. In the intervening time, I've received tons of emails and instant messages requesting that the code be put up somewhere. Well, that time has come...
I recently decommissioned a box I had at tummy.com which was my primary mail server for several years. After many years of qmail and a few months with Postfix, I wanted a solution that I had more immediate control over. At that time, Gmail for Domains was just announced and I became one of the beta testers for it. However, it was missing a few critical features, so I sat down and put together a mail server for myself. Abe Fetting had some nice examples in his O'Reilly book, so I started there. Then I jumped into the Twisted source code and discovered the rest that I needed.
A year or so later, Gmail for Domains (now Google Apps for business) was rockin' out, so I started moving my mail there. I eventually aliased the remainder of my domains and then stopped using the Twisted mail server. I kept the tummy.com box around for a while for DNS, but due to a tightening of the budget at home, I later had to pull the plug. When I reviewed the backup files from the server, I saw the old mail code and put it at the top of the list for my down-time projects.
I've sort of done that, but the process is incomplete. In the spirit of r0ml's OSCON 2008 talk, I'm placing this code in a public space for people to play with, find bugs in, report them, add patches, and branch from. The project page on Launchpad.net is here:
There are a couple non-standard parts of the code (in particular, the account, alias, and mail list management), but it can be improved very easily. The Dspam stuff was nascent at best (I didn't end up using it in production). Also, the relaying really needs to be looked into to make sure that it's done safely. A quick task someone could jump on right away is to convert the copious print statments to twisted.python.log calls.
Having the code in the state that it's in could be a lot of fun, really. The code base is tiny and there's nothing too tricky going on. For those that haven't had a chance to play with Bazaar, you can easily branch it to your own lp home dir, and if you make some cool improvements, I can easily merge those back in to the main branch. Looking at the list of branches, potential users and developers will be able to easily see the efforts that others have made. txMailServer could end up being a nice little piece of utilitarian code for folks...
Enjoy! And sorry it took so long :-(

Our Hamantaschen's Forgotten Meaning
Published in Yeshiva University's Purim To Go (2017)
Of the many oddities codified as part of our annual Purim celebrations, Rabbi Moshe Isserles, in his glosses on the Shulchan Aruch (O.C. 695:2), records a little-
known custom of eating ma'achal zeronim (foods with seeds) on Purim in commemoration of the food Daniel and his fellows eat while in captivity in Nevuchadnezar's court (Daniel 1:8). Yet surprisingly, this medieval minhag to eat seeds on Purim (Kolbo # 45) is one many of us fulfill eachyear — albeit unknowingly — when we consume copious quantities of hamantashen of the poppy seed variety.... Click here to read the whole article.
The Jewish Response to Tragedy
By Cindy Mindell, Connecticut Jewish Ledger (August 10, 2016)
Brander addressed the tragedy during his sermon the following Shabbat, tying together the highs and lows of the holiday weekend.
"I said, 'We began last week by ascending the mountain, knowing that part of our role as Jews is not just going up the mountain but bringing the Torah down to the world and unfortunately, we came back into a world that was more imperfect, more fragmented and more in pain than we had left,'" he told the Ledger.
Brander suggested that the congregation craft a meaningful response to the suffering caused by the Orlando shooter.
"Paraphrasing the words of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, in times of darkness, righteous people seek to add light," Brander says. "We wanted to proactively do something positive to contribute to the world." As a result, the rabbi and his congregants decided to organize a food drive at the synagogue to benefit the Anja Rosenberg Kosher Food Pantry at Jewish Family Services of Greater Hartford.
Not even a month later, five Dallas police officers were shot dead by a sniper. Again, Brander rallied Young Israel, sending an email of support to West Hartford Chief of Police Tracy Grove.

Young Israel of West Hartford Welcomes Rabbi Tuvia Brander
By Stacey Dresner, Connecticut Jewish Ledger, (September 30, 2015)
WEST HARTFORD – While growing up as a rabbi's son in Boca Raton, Fla., Tuvia Brander had no plans to go into the rabbinate.
"Growing up in a rabbinic home, I always was passionate about serving the Jewish community but wanted to stay as far away from the rabbinate as possible," he explained. "I really liked mathematics and thought I would either go into engineering or some other math-related field."
But the son of Rabbi Kenneth Brander, who served for many years as the spiritual leader of the Boca Raton Synagogue (BRS), and who is now vice president for University and Community Life at Yeshiva University, Tuvia Brander eventually, as they say, entered the "family business."

Last week I bought my eighth Mega Millions lottery ticket of the year. I'm not a gambler, but it's getting rough out there. And somehow the one dollar and 60 seconds of pride swallowing I invest weekly have become a minuscule price to pay for a shot at a financially worry-free existence. It seems I'm not alone in my new outlook.
A recent New York Times article detailed the record sales being experienced by many state lotteries around the country. And although the onetime immune casinos are starting to feel the recession's pinch, their online counterparts are raking it in. In spite of the current global financial crises, the world's gambling market is set to grow from $345 billion in 2007 to $433 billion by 2012 according to a new report published by Global Betting & Gaming Consultants (GBGC) entitled: "Change is in the Cards."
Looking around the world of aesthetics it seems the fashion and design houses are hopping on the Lady Luck bandwagon. From Hermès to Eames, Tiffany to Swarovski, symbols of chance are everywhere. Tiffany and Kate Spade have issued designer playing card decks. Brooks Brothers, Louis Vuitton, and Krug Champage have issued limited-edition poker sets (the latter comes with two bottles of the house's Tête de Cuvée and weighs in at a whopping $15,000.) And gold, crystal, and lucite dice have shown up in the Swarovski, Jack Spade, and Vuitton collections.
Whether or not diamond dice add insult to injury given what's happening around us is anyone's call. Yet somehow I can't help but feel optimistic that some day soon, mere mortals will once again have an extra hundred bucks to spend on some playing cards.
Below, (clockwise from top left) tools of the trade from Louis Vuitton, Swarovski, Ray and Charles Eames, Brooks Brothers, Krug, Kate Spade, Jack Spade, and Tiffany.

A fourth earthquake has struck off Papua New Guinea, the US Geological Survey says.
The magnitude 6.1 earthquake follows a powerful magnitude of 7.5 in the area on Saturday night, which sparked a tsunami warning for PNG and the Solomon Islands.
The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center later cancelled the alert.
The latest earthquake struck 96km southwest of the town of Panguna on Bougainville at a depth of 18 kilometres at 10.30am (AEST) on Sunday, USGS said.
A 5.6-magnitude quake hit the same area on Saturday night at a depth of 69 kilometres, after a 6.6-magnitude tremor on Saturday morning.
Quakes of such magnitude are common in PNG, which sits on the so-called Pacific "Ring of Fire'', a hotspot for seismic activity due to friction between tectonic plates.
In February last year the remote town of Lata in the Solomons was hit by a devastating tsunami after an 8.0-magnitude earthquake.
It left at least 10 people dead and thousands homeless.

You will even have a chance to scrub their shells!
After your 40-minute turtle adventure, you will have free time to explore Coral World Marine Park, as your tour price includes admission to the park, which offers an Undersea Observatory, Caribbean Reef Encounter, Lorikeet Aviary, Stingray Lagoon, Turtle Pool and Critter Corners. Through activities, feeding demonstrations and exhibits, the park educates guests on the conservation of the ocean's environment as well as its inhabitants.
Space is extremely limited and will sell out. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Reviewer: Frank Paul
Tour started off a little disorganized at the port, but ride to Coral World was very nice. Coral World was beautiful and Duncan the Sea Turtle was Awesome. Very friendly.
Reviewer: Shelly Aspeitia
The turtle encounter was amazing. My kids loved the one on one with both turtles. The director was amazing and they even allowed me inside the encounter area to take my own photos. Worth every penny!
Reviewer: Mariann
What a great day! We were picked up by the ship and driven to cove. It was beautiful. Usually you only get to spend 15 minutes with the encounters but this was different. Our instructor first gave a quick info session about turtles but then brought us in the pool area and we spent at least 40 min in with the turtles. The group was small. My husband, son, another lady and myself. The resort was great too. An aquarium, Aviary, touch tanks and if you are hungry a snack bar. We had a quick snack sitting among the wild iguanas. Def go back again!!!
Reviewer: Jiminy
My husband and I loved the interaction with the sea turtles. It was the highlight of our day at Coral World. Our guide was very informative, friendly and interesting. We recommend this excursion for anyone who would like a close encounter with the turtles. The turtles seemed to like us there too!
Reviewer: Turtle Girl
Coral World, which hosts the turtle encounter is a wonderful little place. Educational, clean, nice people working there, and well organized. there are many exhibits and a lovely aquarium. The actual turtle encounter is something I will remember all my life! Our naturalist did a great job explaining all about sea turtles, and did a good job instructing us as to how to behave in the pool with the turtles to remain safe and enjoy our encounter. We got to spend a good amount of time with the turtles, and touch all parts of them, excepting their heads or tails. We were up close and personal! I'll never forget this experience!

I have two very different children and a third on the way. I am used to saying that our kids are in no way mild or mellow, but neither are we, so I don't expect anything different.
My oldest son didn't fit into the boxes of the parenting books I read the first time around. They were good practices, working for other people in our lives, so I felt pretty regularly that I was failing. Just as I began to get a small grasp on his unique personality, we added our second son. And he was exactly the same and I knew everything I was doing.
Except that's totally not true.
Like all humans, he was his own little person, and though I was a bit more confident and less scared overall, my small armory of parenting practices weren't always as useful as I needed them to be. However, this time, I was more open to reading multiple books, listening to different opinions, regarding all things outside of the Word of God as simple resources instead of perfect rules.
Little by little, as I've attempted to let go of the way I thought things should be, I have been surprised at how God has led me to the right people, books, or podcasts, and the way he has put things in my pathway to encourage and guide my motherhood. I've learned that as I seek his wisdom first, he has been faithful to show up. Sometimes, I get the silly notion that God is hiding the answers to motherhood, baiting me, wanting me to do better, work harder, ready to see me fail. But Wisdom personified in Proverbs 8:17 says, "I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me." I forget that God is generous with his wisdom, that he is a giver by nature, that he loves us and our children cares more than I could about the ultimate good.
This doesn't make the days fly by, and it doesn't eliminate the head-scratching mommy-hood moments I encounter all of the time. But knowing that God, the all-knowing, intimately-loving God of ours, is ready and willing to lead me specifically day-by-day, child-by-child, with divine wisdom takes the full weight off of me. And it takes the weight off of whatever rules I might be holding onto too tightly — his wisdom will guide us, give us peace, not hide the right answers cruelly waiting for us to fail. As we seek, he is faithful to lead and guide and shine a light.
These are the things I am relying on as we await the next child. Finally, I hope my hands are truly more open, asking God for the wisdom to meet the day, love the children uniquely, guide them wisely, and allow his mercy to rest on us when we fail. I know enough now to know that I will need his guidance, and that feels like the biggest gift his wisdom has given me so far. I can't do this alone, but I'm not asked or required to do that. In fact, I'm invited in to seek Wisdom, and when I read all through Proverbs, I hear that she shouts, that she stands in the streets, not hiding, snickering from a window watching me stumble along. And again in James, he confirms what it all — "If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking." (James 1:5)
He will give us the wisdom we lack. Thanks be to God, for I'm the first to tell you that I really have no idea most of the time what I'm doing. We are not alone. The God of the universe wants to walk with us and impart what we don't have. Praise.

Hannover beats Bremen to all but seal Bundesliga survival
HANNOVER, Germany (AP) — Hannover defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 to end its five-game losing streak and all but secure Bundesliga survival on Friday.
The visitors went closest early on but Martin Harnik broke the deadlock when he got his toe to Miiko Albornoz' cross and beat Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka at the near post.
Felix Klaus made it 2-0 before the break, converting on the rebound after Marvin Bakalorz struck the post.
Ishak Belfodil pulled one back with over 15 minutes remaining with a header from Thomas Delaney's whipped-in cross.
But Hannover managed to hold on to move nine points clear of the relegation zone and 15 clear of Cologne in a direct relegation place with five games left.
Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt, who extended his contract to 2021 during the week, suffered his first defeat in six games. His side stayed ahead of Hannover by a point.

Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine-New York (TouroCOM-NY) Dean of Student Affairs Nadege Dady, EdD, received a Nubian Union Legend Award at the organization's recent Chasing Stars Holiday Gala in Greenwich Village. The award was presented to Dr. Dady and other honorees who exemplify "unconditional sacrifice and community service [and who] stand as icons of stewardship to everyone."

The Nubian Union is composed of two community-based non-profits focused on the growth of brain injuries, especially among minority youth: Unity Missionary Investors, which aids economically-challenged communities with tools and programs; and the Nubian Cultural Center for Research & Development, a multigenerational program that promotes racial and ethnic harmony through cultural exchange and education.
Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine (DMU-COM) osteopathic medical students and faculty staffed the DMU Mobile Clinic as a first aid station at the 37th annual Living History Farms Off-Road Races on November 21. Dubbed the biggest cross country race in North America, the seven-mile event—a fundraiser for the central Iowa attraction—draws up to 7,500 participants, many in costume, who wade through creeks, dodge animals, and crawl over gullies.
Officials from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the nonprofit Enroll America, and the American Osteopathic Medicine (AOA), visited the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) on January 19, as part of the HHS' "Provider Week of Action," which highlights the work of community health centers and providers. John Becher, DO, PCOM Chair and Professor of Emergency Medicine and President of the AOA; Ester Krofah, Deputy Director of the HHS Office of Health Reform; and Joanne Grossi, Regional Director of the HHS, addressed an audience of students, administrators, and faculty on the critical role of physicians in educating patients about coverage. "Our goal is to make sure no Pennsylvanians are uninsured," said Ms. Grossi.
Charmaine Chan, DO, Instructor of Family Medicine, and Steven Mosey, Osteopathic Medical Student, PCOM, gave both the physician and student perspectives on the importance of health care enrollment. "It's a continuous dialogue, educating patients on why they need healthcare coverage," said Dr. Chan. "It's a tough job, but an important one."
Students at the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine of Midwestern University (CCOM/MWU) recently held a fundraising event for the annual DO Day on the Hill legislative advocacy trip to Washington DC. Members of the Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA) hosted the Annual Benefit Auction at a local restaurant in January. Participants enjoyed an evening of networking, food, and fun while raising more than $4,500 to support the student trip, which will be held on Wednesday, March 2, 2016 on Capitol Hill.
"CCOM students work very hard to be leaders on a national scale and actively work to make the world a better place. The Benefit Auction helps fund the most meaningful advocacy work in which our students participate each year, their trip to Washington DC to speak to their elected officials," said Nick Tackett, Osteopathic Medical Student, SOMA President at CCOM/MWU.
The BrickStreet Foundation recently donated $900,000 in scholarships to the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM).
"This is a first of its kind in the history of WVSOM," said WVSOM President Michael Adelman, DO. The donation was the largest single gift since the school's founding in 1972. "I'm thrilled to have BrickStreet make such a profound commitment to WVSOM students through this scholarship endowment. BrickStreet Foundation should also be credited for its keen awareness of the ramifications of extraordinary debt that can be placed on physicians as they select their future paths. This generosity will not only benefit the students directly, but it will impact their future patients as well." Kirk Aguirre, Business Director for the West Virginia Large Business Team at BrickStreet Insurance, explained how one of the goals of the BrickStreet Foundation is to give back to local communities where. "One of the products of this foundation is the scholars program, which is a program that provides educational opportunities at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. This is a specifically targeted program that allows us to reach our injured work community as well," said Mr. Aguirre. "We hope to continue the success and vision that Dr. Adelman, the board and foundation have set into motion."
In a ceremony on December 2 at the Ohio Statehouse, the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Association of Free Clinics named the Heritage Community Clinic (pictured at right), located on the Athens campus of the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM), as Ohio's Free Clinic of the Year for 2015. This is one of four new awards established by state legislation in 2014, designating December as Free Clinic Appreciation Month. The Heritage Community Clinic serves qualifying adults in six southeastern Ohio counties, and its two mobile units regularly travel into multiple counties around the region. In 2014-15 the clinic served close to 600 patients with care valued at over $72,000.
The University of Pikeville-Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine (UP-KYCOM) recently recognized its newest Osteopathic Medical Scholars Program participants. The University, in conjunction with KYCOM, offers students a cooperative eight-year program leading to a bachelor's degree and a DO degree.
Up to 10 scholars are selected each year. After completion of The University's bachelor's degree program, eligible scholars will be admitted to the medical school if they have maintained a required cumulative and science GPA in undergraduate work, met a required score on the MCAT, and participated in program activities. Scholars must also participate in extracurricular health-related community service activities, community physician "shadowing," pre-med club, and KYCOM student activities.
"We are excited to provide this program for outstanding high school seniors who want to pursue a career in medicine and desire the opportunity to serve their communities in a significant way," said Boyd R. Buser, DO, Vice President for Health Affairs and Dean of UP-KYCOM. "The Osteopathic Medical Scholars Program is an important step in helping us to continue to fulfill our mission of easing the physician shortage in rural and underserved areas of Kentucky and Appalachia."
On November 9, 2015, Jingsong Zhou, PhD, Research Investigator and Professor of Physiology at the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences College of Osteopathic Medicine (KCU-COM), received a $165,000 grant from the Victor E. Speas Foundation to support continued study of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Specifically, the grant will support additional work addressing muscle-bone crosstalk in the disease.
"This grant is an excellent opportunity to further ALS research," said Dr. Zhou. "What makes this study so unique is that we will approach our research from many different angles. Prior to joining KCU-COM, I studied the muscle and bone impact on ALS, but there are still many questions to answer. With ALS, multiple organs can impact the progression of the disease. This study will focus on that impact."
The Speas Foundation restricts its grants to those organizations that improve the quality of health care in the Kansas City area. The grant will have a one-year duration.

A Compassionate Approach
Committed to caring for the whole person.
DEXA (Bone Density Scan): Imaging and Radiology
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is a painless and quick test to detect bone loss. This test, which uses a very low-dose radiation X-ray, is so accurate that it is considered the "gold standard" of all the available bone mineral density tests. Even if you have bone loss of less than 2%, DEXA can detect it.
DEXA uses radiation of less than 1/20th of a standard chest X-ray to establish the bone density of the spine, hip or wrist. A computer translates your bone mineral density into a number that can be compared to the peak bone density for your gender, height and weight. It can also be compared to DEXA tests done later to determine the rate of bone loss.
Osteoporosis, a disease that reduces the strength of your bones causing them to become brittle, lighter and considerably more prone to fractures, affects more than 20 million women and 5 million men in the United States. It used to be that osteoporosis went undiagnosed, progressing silently over the years, until a fracture occurred. With the development of DEXA, early diagnosis is possible and fractures associated with this disease can be prevented. Early diagnosis with the use of DEXA and other bone density tests have given physicians new tools not only to identify, but to treat and overcome osteoporosis.
Wear comfortable clothes without metal, buttons, buckles or zippers. You may be asked to undress and wear an examination gown without snaps and to remove jewelry.
If you are pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, it is very important to tell your physician or the X-ray technologist before the procedure.
DEXA is available at the Carol Milgard Breast Center, the Franciscan Breast Center at St. Francis, Franciscan Breast Center – Burien, Franciscan Medical Pavilion – Auburn, Mammography Clinic at St. Anthony Hospital, Harrison Imaging Center – Port Orchard, Harrison Imaging Center – Poulsbo, Harrison Imaging Center – Silverdale or at several Franciscan Medical Group clinics.
For a more in depth look at this procedure, visit our Health Library page on this topic.

Valuation: Apple vs Google
Aug 9, 2018 by
Apple hits historic $1 trillion market value while Google drags far behind. Let's take a look of some numbers.
I bet everyone has already heard how Apple is the first publicly traded U.S. company to reach $1 trillion market cap. Very impressive! 🙌 And we all know who gets the credit. Well, of course the visionary Steve Jobs who renewed the company when he returned in 1997. When Jobs took over, Apple had money in the bank to keep the business going for 90 days. First thing he did was to reduce the products by 70%. With smaller product line, Apple was able to focus on innovation and quality. In 2001 we saw the first game changer: iPod. After that came iPhone, iPad and iTV, just to name few products loved by consumers. Saving Apple made Steve Jobs the messiah he is today, worshipped by millions of fans around the world.
Apple is not the first company to hit the $1 trillion valuation. There are some global (mainly oil) companies who have done it earlier (if valued in today's dollars) for example PetroChina, Saudi Aramco and Standard Oil. Currently there are few U.S. companies to chase the magical $1 trillion marker.
Let's take a look of the numbers from 2018:Apple market cap. $926.9 bn (currently $1 tn) Amazon market cap. $777.8 bn (currently $902 bn) Google market cap. $766.4 bn (currently $739 bn) Microsoft market cap. $750.6 bn (currently $753 bn)
The order has remain mostly the same except this year Microsoft has passed Google in market valuation for the first time in three years. Facebook is far behind of the others with $541.5 bn valuation. We can clearly see from the most successful companies that the trend is in technology and more specifically in connectivity. Upcoming 5G technology will launch Internet of Things (IOT) into mainstream making it part of our everyday lives. And these are the companies that benefit of the faster and improved connectivity.
It will be interesting to follow will Apple hold the market leader position and how does the arrivals answer to the challenge. One thing is for sure, Ronald Wayne – who sold his 10% stake with only $800 – is not a happy man knowing he lost $80 bn on that day. 😆 Comment on Twitter what do you think all of this. How much "air" the Apple valuation has?

A national magazine shows a cartoon: a man sitting at a desk looking anxiously at five barometers on the nearby wall. One barometer is labeled Job Pressure, another states Financial Pressure, another reads Family Pressure, another reads Time Pressure, and the last of the five reads Social Pressure.
While looking at this cartoon, the viewer produces a knowing smile, however, no one needs to have these five barometers to remind the viewer of severe daily pressures.

Filming Docs (aka Abe Forman-Greenwald)
I've been working as a producer, director and editor in web video, film and TV for a good long while now. As a video producer at BuzzFeed Motion Pictures I wrote, developed and directed social issue scripted comedy videos, food videos, and launched several collaborations both within the company and outside partners. In total these videos have over half a billion content views. I directed and produced BuzzFeed's first long-form documentary, Brother Orange.
Before starting at BuzzFeed, I worked as a producer at HuffPost Live, where I produced human interest pieces, news segments, and celebrity interviews with Ken Burns, Deepak Chopra, Ed Begley, Jr., Marlee Matlin, Richard Linklater, Big Boi from Outkast and many others.
I also directed episodes of the PBS Series "In Their Boots", a short film called "Via Text," produced "The Man's Guide To Love,"and directed a feature documentary called "Geeks On Board." Also, I edited "Creature Comforts America" and "The Simpsons Ride" at Universal Studios, woohoo!
Some nice recognition that happened along the way:
- TV appearance on CCTV America discussing the Brother Orange documentary
- Adweek article on a viral hit video, 2014
- A Webby award for HuffPost Live
- "Silent Partners" documentary, official selection of Newfest 2010
- International Documentary Association Nominee, 2009
- Emmy Nomination for "Creature Comforts America", 2008

Anchor Ornament - recycled lobster rope - ocean colors available, single ornament or box set
Anchor Ornament - recycled lobster rope - ocean colors available, single ornament or box set
These anchor ornaments make great keepsakes, party favors, or decorations for the holidays.
-Made from rope that once connected a Maine lobsterman's buoy to his trap on the bottom of the ocean floor.
-Anchor measures approx. 3" wide, 4" tall.
-Each ornament comes with hanger attached.
-Box sets include an anchor in every color.
*All of our products are handmade. Due to the nature of our production method as well as the rope being recycled, each product color may vary slightly.
Your purchase with Cape Porpoise Trading Co. not only prevents used lobster rope from going into a landfill it also puts money in the pockets of Maine lobstermen.
Wondering why lobstermen can't use this perfectly good rope anymore?
Lobster rope aka float rope, pot-warp was once the primary type of rope lobstermen use at sea. A few years back the government banned float rope because of whale entanglement issues, forcing lobstermen to make a switch to a different kind of rope (sink rope). This resulted in an abundance of used float rope that was headed for a landfill.
This past year we at Cape Porpoise Trading Co. partnered up with the Maine Lobstermen Association giving us the ability to connect with lobstermen all over the coast of Maine. We pay those lobstermen directly for their used float rope so we can keep making lovely, handmade, lobster rope goods.

The Congressionally-appointed panel overseeing the TARP program today will release a stinging report of the regulatory failures that led to the current financial crisis.
A copy of the draft report, which will be presented to Congress, was obtained by CNBC.com.
"The regulatory system not only failed to manage risk, but also failed to require disclosure of risk through sufficient transparency," the report concludes.

Activities for students
From Tekkotsu Wiki
Middle School
- Teleoperation: Use the ControllerGUI to drive the robot around; use the RawCam viewer to see the world from the robot's point of view.
- Sound effects: In the ControllerGUI, go to File Access > Play Sound and let students try the different sound files.
- Talking robot: In the ControllerGUI, go to Framework Demos > Interaction > Text to Speech and let students experiment with making the robot talk. After starting the demo, type "msg Hi there" in the Tekkotsu console (terminal window) to speak those words.
- Obstacle course: Set up an obstacle course or maze using cardboard boxes, empty soda cans, and similar objects, and have students use the Walk Control to navigate the robot through the obstacle course. For a more realistic (and harder) task: make them rely on the RawCam display instead of looking directly at the robot.
- Robot soccer: Use the Walk Control to try to push a ball into a goal. (You can make a goal by turning a cardboard box on its side.) If you have multiple robots, you can have an attacker and a defender.
High School
- Easy intros: All of the middle school activities above can be used with high school students.
- Color perception: how does the robot see the world?
- Use the SegCam viewer to explore how the robot classifies colors. What effect does changing the room lighting have?
- Check the article on ASUS camera settings and play with the camera parameters to see how they affect the robot's vision.
- Try this demo: Framework Demos > Vision > SeeShapes; show the robot some lines (use colored masking tape) and ellipses (use balls or easter egg halves).
- Building and navigating virtual worlds:
- Show students how to use the Mirage simulator (see Running Mirage) and navigate through a world using the Mirage keyboard commands (see Mirage Command Summary).
- Show students how to drive a robot around in a Mirage virtual world. Explore the different worlds available in Tekkotsu/tools/mirage/worlds.
- Introduce students to the Mirage world builder tools (see Mirage worlds) and show them how to make their own worlds.
- State machine projects: these projects can be done using only the built-in node classes, so students don't have to write any C++ code.
- Combination lock: the user has to press a sequence of four buttons in a specific order to unlock the lock, e.g., green-yellow-yellow-green. (On the Create, the Play and Advance buttons serve as green and yellow, respectively.) If they press a wrong button, the robot howls at the end of the four button sequence and they have to start over.
- Red light, green light: the robot acts as the traffic light in this game, randomly calling out "red light" or "green light" after a variable interval. Use random transitions (=RND=>) to build a state machine, with a collection of timeout transitions =T(n)=> to provide delays.
These activities are for students taking an undergraduate robotics course. (Please send suggestions to Dave Touretzky.)

This month I am featuring some students from our youth classes. A huge thanks to Hunter, Meala and Bethany for sharing their experiences with yoga. All three students live in Montpelier and come to a weekly class at Grateful Yoga. These kids are so supportive of each other, they inspire, laugh and create so much energy each class. Please enjoy their words of wisdom below, namaste.
How does yoga make you feel?
M: It takes balance, so it feels very balanced.
B: Very good; comfortable and peaceful. Especially Sun Salutations and Savasana.
H: At the end it feels really quiet.
Are there any challenging poses you like to practice? And how do you approach a challenging posture?
H: Partner poses. I would rather be by myself in a pose than with a partner. This isn't about yoga, but me and Meala are brother and sister!
B: Crow is challenging. It's really hard to find the balance. Don't hold your breath, breathing helps.
M: The crow, you should just practice a lot. It is kind of scary when you do your first bridge kickover, but just practice a lot, it's fun!
Do you practice anywhere besides the studio?
B: I practice at home with my mom.
M: I have a lot of after school activities (ballet, basketball, soccer) so I don't have a ton of time for yoga outside of class, but at home I show my mom the postures we learned at class.
How did you feel the first time you went to yoga class?
M: I thought it was fun!
B: Absolutely nervous.
H: Excited and nervous. I didn't know what we were going to do because I had never been to yoga before. Now I'm not scared to go, and I've met lots of new people in class.
What would you Tell someone who has never been to yoga before?
H: Don't worry it's really fun.
B: You shouldn't be nervous, it's just a fun, good experience. I think the only thing you should be is EXCITED.

Dear WSCG, The WS Description Working Group would like to request that you coordinate the development of a SOAP one-way MEP, and the binding of such a MEP to HTTP. The WSDL 2.0 Adjuncts spec [1] defines one-way MEPs, yet our SOAP/HTTP binding does not support such MEPs. We believe out-of-the-box support for one-way MEPs is an important use case, given impetus by WS-Addressing's capability to separate requests and reply in time and location. Such interactions are likely to be modeled in WSDL as two separate one-way operations, yet there is no standard binding of such a MEP for SOAP over HTTP. If such a MEP can be delivered prior to the completion of WSDL 2.0, we would take a dependency on it. Currently for in-out interactions we default the binding to the SOAP Request-Response MEP [2]. We would like to default the binding to the new SOAP One-Way MEP for in-only interactions. We don't however feel it is within our current charter to define such a MEP. We expect to forward a set of requirements for this MEP, developed in the Async Task Force, to you shortly. - Jonathan Marsh on behalf of the WSDL WG [1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/wsdl20-adjuncts [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-soap12-part2-20030624/#singlereqrespmepReceived on Tuesday, 7 June 2005 21:39:58 UTC

We're getting tons more info from you guys regarding the Droid Incredible Froyo update, which appeared in a leaked RUU this morning and is still expected (eventually) as an over-the-air update. Let's start with the Quadrant benchmark you see above. (Thanks, Jim!) It's certainly not the be all-end all of a phone's speed and power (and, yes, it can be manipulated), so take it for what it's worth.
Then we've got the full rundown of what's new in the update (straight from Verizon), including Adobe Flash Player 10.1 pre-installed, 720p video recording, Wifi 802.11n, and so on.
Plus, we've got a screen shot showing that the over-the-air push may begin tomorrow. (For what it's worth, that date also is confirmed by a tipster to Droid-Life.)
And after the break, we've got even more screen shots (thanks again, Jim). And if you haven't already, see what everybody's saying about the update in our forums.

This delicious breakfast is beyond simple. Prepare everything the night before, and in the morning, simply pop it in the oven when you wake up and let it bake while you get ready for your day. If you like, you can trade the blueberries for any berry you prefer, though if you use strawberries I recommend slicing them first. I should divulge that this is a very egg-heavy recipe, and that I halved it, using an 9x9 pan, for that reason.
Blueberry Almond French Toast Bake, from Ellie Krieger's So Easy Cookbook
Cooking spray
1 whole-wheat baguette (about 18 in. long, 8 oz.) cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cups low fat milk
8 large eggs
8 large egg whites (that's right, in addition to the whole eggs.)
1/3 c. pure maple syrup (don't use imitation, it is so sorely lacking)
1 t. vanilla extract (I may or may not have put more than this, despite halving the recipe. You just can't go wrong with vanilla.)
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
2 cups fresh blueberries
1/3 c. sliced almonds
2 T. dark brown sugar
Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange the bread in a single layer in the baking pan. Whisk together the milk, eggs, egg whites, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour the egg mixture over the bread in the pan, spreading it around so the liquid saturates the bread. Scatter the blueberries evenly on top. Sprinkle with the almonds and brown sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Uncover and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Serve hot. Enjoy!
