This is a blog to supplement classes I teach at College of the Atlantic. Most of them, from Marine Biology to Biomechanics, and especially Invertebrate Zoology, delve into the evolution and ecology of invertebrates. I use the blog as an additional forum to communicate with my students, although I welcome readers and comments from all who share an interest in invertebrates.

Tree Service Lone Tree Co
Looking for a reliable Denver Tree Service? We are proud to offer Lone Tree CO area customers our premier tree services, as well as landscaping and snow removal.
Quick Facts: Lone Tree is a home rule municipality in Douglas County, Colorado, United States. The city population was 10,218 at the 2010 United States Census, with an estimated population of 13,545 in 2014. Lone Tree is a part of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area. Wikipedia
Lone Tree is closest to our Lakewood location.
Read below to learn about some of the services we have been offering in Lone Tree since 2004 and call us for a free estimate at (303) 368-8454
Tree Removal
Safety of your family and everyone involved is at the top of the list. At Environmental Tree Care, we have the equipment and experience to safely remove trees and tree stumps. There are many companies who offer tree removal, however, they do not have the modern equipment and safety standards necessary to safely remove a multi-ton tree from your business or residence.
Think about the liability! What happens if a tree falls and injures a worker on your property. Is the tree service you hired properly insured? You really
don't want that kind of exposure. At Environmental Tree Care, we carry full insurance, as well as worker's compensation insurance for all of our workers.
Like our customers, we love trees and we hate to remove them. But when tree removal is the only option, we will stop by your home or business and determine whether or not the tree needs to be removed. If your tree needs to be removed, we have the manpower and equipment to safely remove the tree from your property. Give us a call today or fill out the form below and we will respond as quickly as possible.
Tree Trimming
Overgrown tree limbs are not only unsightly but are dangerous! Broken and fallen limbs can seriously injure you or cause tremendous damage to personal property. Call now. We will be happy to give you an estimate to trim your branches and save your trees! Call (303) 368-8454
Lopping off a few low hanging limbs is fine for a weekend project, but large trees require professional equipment and expertise. It is not worth your life or health to trim large branches yourself. Environmental Tree Care, LLC is licensed and bonded and we have the right equipment to get the job done right the first time.
Tree Pruning
Pruning your trees is essential for producing strong, healthy and attractive trees. On the Front Range, the primary reasons for pruning ornamental and shade trees are safety, the health of the trees, as well as the aesthetic value. Pruning can also stimulate fruit production and increase the value and the life of the trees.
Ask about our winter tree pruning service for special species trees that should only be pruned in the Winter season, between December and March. We have certified arborists on staff, who know which trees need to be pruned and where they need pruning.
Environmental Tree Care, LLC has been pruning Denver trees since 2004. Our record for service and safety is impeccable.
Tree Stump Removal (Stump Grinding)
Once a live tree is cut down, the roots may continue to grow and produce new growth. It is important to grind tree stumps to start the decaying process of the root system. Here in Colorado weather plays a major role in many of our tree stump grinding and removal jobs. We fight lightning strikes, high winds and trees being destroyed by the weight of heavy snow. When you contact Environmental Tree Care, LLC our arborist will discuss your stump grinding and root removal options. We will also go over clean up and debris removal.
In addition, we can talk about your options for leveling the area and backfilling the hole with clean soil. All of these services will be discussed and put in writing before we begin work at your home or place of business.
Arborist Services
A trained, certified and professional Arborist can help you diagnose and treat tree diseases, from minor problems to serious illnesses. Many tree companies are nothing more than trimmers and cutters. As certified Arborists, we love our Colorado trees as much as you do and will use our many years of experience and professional certifications to help you save your tree, not destroy it.
In diagnosing your tree problems, we may prescribe a tree trimming, a slight pruning, or perhaps offer some of our other services.
As certified Arborists, we know how to provide a complete tree care solution for all of your tree needs, including, when necessary, tree fertilization and tree spraying to kill unwanted pests.
Need help with your Lone Tree snow removal or landscaping? Environmental Tree Care, LLC wants to be your snow removal, landscaping, and tree service, provider!
Emergency Tree Services
Weather on the Front Range and in Lone Tree can be severe. We get large hail, severe winds, and tornados. When these storms blow through, our trees can be badly damaged. If you have a damaged limb overhanging your property, or if you have a tree that is badly damaged, we provide emergency tree services to save your tree or your property from further damage.
Our company supplies premium Denver firewood which is all locally grown. We are proud to offer all kinds of firewood, seasoned and mixed firewoods to Denver area residents and businesses. We offer hardwood firewoods, such as Oak, Maple, Ash, Locust, Elm. We also offer softwood firewoods, such as Pine and Aspen.
Premium firewood is seasoned at least one year. Mixed firewood has some seasoned and some greener wood.
Call us today for a free estimate on your next load of firewood. Call (303) 368-8454
Snow Removal (Snow Plowing Services)
We offer both commercial snow plow and residential snow plow services.
Commercial Snow Plow Services
Whether you have a large parking lot or 10 parking lots, we can remove the snow to keep your business moving. We have the equipment and the experience to move tons of snow, often on short notice. Give us a call today and let us provide a bid as you gear up for the next Lone Tree snow season.
Residential Snow Plow Services
If you need snow removed from your street or your driveway, give us a call today so you can get out of your home, even when the snow is piling up.

Go to
Dining Out: Ad Hoc (Yountville, CA)
Article Digest:
In September 2006, Thomas Keller, executive chef and owner of The French Laundry, Per Se, and Bouchon, opened a temporary restaurant in Yountville, CA called "Ad Hoc". At Ad Hoc, there is only one four-course menu for each night (everyone eats the same appetizers, entrees, and desserts), the menu is never the same, the food is based on home-style American comfort food, and the dinners are prix fixe. Oh, and the restaurant is supposed to close in a couple months, but no one really knows when. I thought "Homestyle American cooking by the only American-born chef to have two Michelin 3-star restaurants? I have to check it out."
I had been hearing about Ad Hoc for a couple months before deciding to dine there. The story actually starts almost a year ago when I read an article in the newspaper about Thomas Keller's intentions on opening a new type of restaurant that served "common" food to foodies - a place where you could buy gourmet hamburgers while sipping the famed wines of Napa Valley. He would call the place "Burgers and Half Bottles" and purchased a restaurant at the south end of Yountville (the "unofficial culinary capital of Napa Valley" according to at least one piece of literature available at the Chamber of Commerce) called "Wine Garden". Months later, Burgers and Half Bottles still did not appear, but a new restaurant was announced: Ad Hoc. According to the internet buzz, Keller was taking his time figuring out how his burger joint was going to look and run and in the meantime was setting up an interim restaurant that never served the same food twice. Would the restaurant eventually be replaced by Burgers and Half Bottles? No one knows. Will the restaurant stay open? No one knows. All we know is that it will be open for another six months - maybe less, maybe more. The food at Ad Hoc is themed around Americana - foods that you would expect to be cooked in the stereotypical American home (beef brisket, roasted sirloin, pot roasts) - but raised to fine dining levels. The price you pay for your meal? Prix fixe $45.
Reviews of Ad Hoc started pouring in after it opened - many good, some bad. Most of the food magazines and newspapers seemed to rate it favorably, while a surprising number of the internet reviews were not so positive. It seemed that some people were offended at being offered tri-tip or roast chicken and were disappointed in the overall meal. Was this a case of misplaced expectations? Were they expecting haute cuisine? Was this some sort of culinary Russian roulette (it seemed like if you got lucky and the evening's menu was outstanding and contained fresh produce from the French Laundry's gardens, just 1/2 mile up the road, then you'd be in for a treat)? I wanted to find out, but I want to find out a
of stuff, so I didn't actually think I'd go up to Yountville to try out the food.
However, on Friday evening, while trying to find a suitably relaxing activity to fill our first free Saturday since a couple months before Thanksgiving, I suggested to Tina that we head up to Napa Valley to eat at Ad Hoc. Tina liked the idea, so off to Napa we would go. At some point - around midnight - it dawned on me that maybe I should have called the restaurant to see if they take reservations. I had read previously in several newspaper articles and dining websites that Ad Hoc had a walk-ins only business. They took no reservations (or only for larger parties). I checked again and that did seem like the case... at least that's what the internet told me. I should have called.
Don't believe the lies. You need a reservation to get a table. The number is (707)944-2487.
We drove the two hours to Yountville the next morning and hung out around town, sampling foods here and there to pass the time - just enjoying the slower pace of life and small town feel away from the Napa Valley Highway. At around 3pm, I called Ad Hoc to find out when they would open (no one in town seemed to know when they opened and it was not posted on their door) and was informed that they would open at 5pm, but they were completely reserved for the evening. Uh oh. I asked whether we could walk-in and was told that the bar had limited seating, but if I got there at 5pm, I could get seated at the bar. We wandered back to the restaurant to see if they had posted the evening's menu yet (when we arrived in town at noon, the previous night's menu featuring some preparation of flank steak was posted). They had. Unfortunately, it was going to be pork loin.
As a general rule, we don't like pork loin. We never order it at a restaurant. There's just no way to do it right. Here's the problem: During the last couple decades, pork in the United States has been raised to be leaner and leaner to appeal to the low-fat culture. It's not just a marketing campaign; the "other white meat" really
the other white meat. It's colorless (well, actually it's grey as in bland, gloomy, and depressing), nearly flavorless (without any fat, it just tastes like cooked protein, which of course tastes like chicken), and is usually tough. Recently, companies like Swift have noted these problems with pork and now their major seller is a pre-marinated pork loin that is injected with a salt solution, tenderizers, and some coloring agent. The problem? The pork isn't as bland anymore, but it takes on an unnatural orangish pink color when cooked, is salty (which is a definite improvement), and now has a spongy texture. Tough or spongy - in my mind, both unappetizing choices.
We stared at the menu and discussed whether we should try our luck at acquiring a seat when the evening's service began and roll the dice with this pork loin, or simply go eat somewhere else. We agreed that if pork loin could be redeemed for us, then this would be its chance. Could Thomas Keller and his handpicked executive chef(s) make a pork loin that we would feel justified to spend $45 for? So, we waited.
At around 4:30, I noticed that the entire staff (or at least that's what it seemed like) was gathered in the front room of the restaurant in a giant circle - perhaps praying as a group or having a giant football huddle? (I deduced later that this was actually the time where they were sorting out their story and game plan, making sure everyone knew what was being served and how the food was prepared and what region every ingredient came from.) I didn't take a photograph because I already felt awkward that we were the only people hanging around outside of the restaurant. At 4:45, there was still no one else waiting, perhaps we hadn't needed to camp out for this, no one else was doing it. At 4:50 a young lady opened the door and smiled at us; we were in! As a bonus, she informed us that a cancellation had been phoned in, and we had a table!
Our waiter was a well spoken, friendly man named Nessim. He chatted with us briefly and left us the menu (a courtesy since you didn't get to choose anything and the courses were prominently displayed on a chalkboard overlooking the dining room) and wine list.
For the next five minutes, we were the only patrons in the restaurant. It's an interesting experience when you have a room full of extremely well trained wait staff and two diners. We were sitting at our brushed chrome, two-person table studiously examining the wine list while being keenly aware that every member of the wait staff was watching us. They were standing two by two in specific locations - this corner, that corner, precisely in the middle of that wall - and smiling at us. It reminded me of the scenes in Marie Antoinette where the King and Queen of France ate their meals in front of an audience with their servants standing at the ready. Nessim appeared miraculously and ended the interesting but awkward (and yet still friendly) moment and after some discussion we ended up ordering a glass of Cabernet Franc from a vineyard local to Napa Valley (which I inexplicably neglected to record the name of).
The decor of the restaurant is minimalist with simple white walls and wood trim and center post tables with chrome surfaces. The lighting (as the sun went down) was a gentle yellow light - a pleasing, comfortable level of light, but not enough for my camera to pick up the true colors of our meal without auxiliary illumination or supports, neither of which I wanted to introduce into the restaurant. Our water (we ordered the local tap) was provided in a 1 liter carafe (self serve), and a pepper grinder and small dish of sea salt was available on each table. The music was popular contemporary and louder than we expected - not loud enough to make you feel you needed to raise your voice, but definitely not subtly in the background at the edge of hearing. It fit perfectly with the young, contemporary feeling of the restaurant and the short sleeved shirts and casual black pants that were the uniform of the staff.
Our first course was a Frisée and (Belgian) Endive Salad. The salad, like all the food in our meal, was served in the middle of the table, family style. The frisée and endives were lightly tossed with a surprisingly salty lemon vinaigrette. I was thrown off at first, but the saltiness quickly melted away to reveal the subtle taste of the fresh vegetables. The salad also had sweet rounds of orange, blood orange, and grapefruit (the sweetest grapefruit I've ever had) and lightly toasted almonds. The combination of the almonds, citrus, and salty greens worked well together and definitely got our bodies eager to begin the main course our meal.
We had earlier expressed concern over the pork loin to Nessim when he came back with our wine. He agreed that pork can often be tough and unflavorful, but they had used Kurobuta pork and had brined it for ten hours prior to roasting. Kurobuta pork is like the Kobe beef of the porcine world. Like the Wagyu breed of cattle that was refined by the Japanese, the Berkshire pig had undergone a similar refinement by the Japanese. This Kurobuta pork would not suffer from the same low-fat, low-taste problems of standard American pork. (Our Kurobuta pork would be sourced by Snake River Farms, an Idaho-based family farm that has grown to be the largest producer of American Kobe beef, a sought after cross-breed of Wagyu with Angus.) Nessim assured us there would be at least 1/4-in. layer of pork fat along the rim of the loin as well as a full flavored and tender (because it was well marbled) muscle. Could it be true?
When the pork arrived in an earthenware vessel, four slices, atop a bacon jus, wilted Savoy cabbage, and caramelized fuji apple slices, I was pleasantly surprised. The pork was cooked medium - the way I do it at home (and in direct defiance of the debilitating USDA standard of 160°F).
I took some of the pork, its accompaniments, and some of the buttery potatoes (pureed or mashed) that it was served with. In a moment of truth, I cut off a corner, half fat and half meat, and stuck it in my mouth. The crust of the fat was crisp and salty, the soft fat melted as I chewed it releasing juices that it was either secretly hiding or magically creating from my saliva, and the meat tasted of pork - real pork. I took another piece, only meat this time, and found that although its flavor was mild in comparison to bacon, proscuitto, ham, and baby back ribs, it actually reminded me of all these preparations. The only question Tina and I could ask each other as we ate our loin was, "Where can we get this pork for ourselves?" (Later I went to Snake River Farms' website and found
this page listing their retailers
After eating our pork, we were pretty much full and very happy. We were pleased that someone was able to prove to us that pork can still be good to eat. I was also particular taken with the preparation of the cabbage. Rarely had I had cabbage taste so good - perhaps it was a combination of the bacon jus and the sweetness of the Fuji apples that did it, but the next day, I bought Savoy cabbage to cook in my own kitchen. My mom will probably be happy to hear that I'm eating my vegetables.
Our cheese course featured a local cheese made by Cowgirl Creamery called Pierce Point. The cheese starts with organic cow's milk and is "washed in a muscato wine and rolled in dried herbs from the Tomales Bay coastal region" (according to
Cowgirl Creamery's website
). All this was lost on us as we ate the cheese with candied pecans and drizzled honey. The combination was almost intoxicating - and it wasn't until after we were done that I realized that I didn't take any pictures! A word with Nessim was all it took for him to enlist the help of his fellow staff members. A few minutes later, a tap on my shoulder revealed Nessim who brought me to a staging table where I photographed the next cheese course ready to go out to a table of four.
I took the opportunity after our plates were cleared (for the third time, once after each course was completed) before dessert, a dark chocolate brownie served warm, to look around. The table next to us on the left was just starting their salad; the table to the right finishing the cheese course. The table behind had the unmistakable sounds of the delight of pork loin. Up until now, I'd never eaten at a restaurant where there was only one menu for the evening, and there's a certain excitement that comes from seeing others about to partake in the same experience you just had moments before. In many ways it's comforting, just like the comfort food that Ad Hoc serves.
The brownies were served warm with caramel sauce and a vanilla whipped cream. It was quite good, but was overshadowed by the previous courses. It was nothing spectacular or earth shattering, but a pleasant way to end the meal. Because brownies are so dense, we shared one and had the other packed away for a dessert to be had at home. Our meal was now complete.
Was the dining experience worth it? For us, for this particular menu, it definitely was. If we're heading up to Napa Valley and Ad Hoc is still around, we'll definitely eat there again, but next time we'll call ahead for reservations.

Wow! I haven't been to Ad Hoc but some of my family members just came from there a week ago and visited my cousin Dave Cruz...one of the Chef's at Ad Hoc.
Just from reading your blog makes me want to get in the car and drive up there. You think I can easily make a reservation by being a first cousin of one of the Chef's? I hope so!
Regards and Happy New Year!

Is this true ?Now, i use EAC .99pb5 for ripping my CD in FLAC (with AccurateRip) but EAC seem to have no more support of his developer. The last EAC's update is 1 year ago (May 7, 2009).When i rip my CD (most are japanese import CD) I need have the UTF-8 (japanese characters) support for tags and track titles. I hate do manually the tags for my ripped CD.I want know if dBpoweramp is better that EAC ? Also, EAC take only freedb but dBpoweramp take more (MG, GD3, SonataDB, MusicBrainz and freedb).Do dBpoweramp take UTF-8 support ?thank for your opinion.

InfantSEE® serves more than 100,000 babies
Nearly 7,300 volunteer AOA optometrists in all 50 states have seen more than 100,000 babies through the InfantSEE® program.
Vision care for children is a high priority for the AOA. This historic milestone for the AOA's charitable and volunteer work complements advocacy efforts to provide eye care for all children.
The program began in 2005, when Optometry Cares®--The AOA Foundation and The Vision Care InstituteTM, LLC, a Johnson & Johnson company, partnered to create InfantSEE®. Today, this no-cost public health program provides professional eye care for infants nationwide.
Through the program, volunteer optometrists perform a one-time, comprehensive eye assessment for infants in their first year of life. This assessment offers early detection of eye and vision problems at no cost, regardless of a family's income.
To become an InfantSEE® provider, find more information online and on Facebook.

The Strasburg Redux
With today's unfortunate news out of Washington I thought it was appropriate to do something I've never done here before, and re-post much of what I wrote about Stephen Strasburg on June 13 under the title "Right Now He's Karl Spooner, Maybe Harry Krause." This was, sadly, prophetic, and I sincerely hope it's only temporary.
3 Comments
While Stephen's health and long-term career should be the top priorities here, there is no doubt this a dark day for the Nats. The ramifications of losing Strasburg for 12-18 months are staggering, both on the field and off. Surely the Lerners will have to invest in at least two top shelf starters (not to mention several position players) to keep this team competitive in Strasburg's absence.
My $.02 is that Strasburg was rushed to the bigs before he could develop his lower frame — legs, glutes and core muscles — to support that golden arm. Every successful power pitcher with longevity — including those with effective breaking pitches and change-ups — has had a ridiculously strong lower body. Stephen, at age 22, has not had the chance to build up his torso and legs to support his otherwise dazzling arm. Hopefully during his convalescence he will adopt a strength and conditioning program that will take pressure off that arm and elbow.
It was good to see you at the Yanks-A's game, Keith, last night on YES. I could have done without Michael Kay's "fair and balanced" comment, but at least you looked like you were enjoying the 11-5 blowout whereas O'Reilly looked like he was in a bad mood. Kissinger looked like he was thinking, "No one must know I dropped my glasses in the toilet."
Long term career should be the top priorities here, i agree with this! You have a nice and awesome writing here. I missed my dad upon reading this article of your because we usually go out just to watch a game like this but if not we will just watch on the television together. Thanks for sharing this.

For high quality, economical speakers for your arena, gymnasium, recreational facility or skating rink public address system look to Octasound to provide you with the ultimate solution. When you're dealing with a large space, reverberation can seriously affect clarity and speech intelligibility. Octasound omnidirectional speakers are your best approach for voice and music.
The Principle
4 discrete horns project sound in all directions to give you true projected not reflected sound. The large woofer radiates bass. Incredible efficiency gives you the headroom needed to keep things crystal clear. With over a quarter of a century of proven design and manufacturing experience, Octasound is the speaker of choice. Efficiency, quality, flexibility and reliability are the cornerstones of our business.
Low Cost
One Octasound speaker will do the job of several conventional speakers. Tulsa Expo Center used 12 Octasound speakers instead of 200 conventional speakers to cover a huge 448,000 sq ft space. You save on hardware and you save on installation.
Amazing Sound Quality
Over and over again customers report that they can hardly believe how good the Octasound speakers sound. This applies to music as well as announcments.
Solid Durability
The Octasound speaker was born in the crucible of Canadian hockey arenas where cold, moisture and stray slap shots would quickly destroy a speaker that wasn't built to take the punishment. Specific models use a polyurethane elastomer finish similar to the bottoms of your work boot. The finish is applied inside the cabinet as well to protect against any moisture that causes normal painted finished cabinets to swell.

The Houston Dynamo have formed an affiliate partnership with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of USL PRO, it was announced at a press conference today.
The partnership will enable the Dynamo to loan a minimum of four MLS-contracted players to Pittsburgh for the 2014 USL PRO season. Houston will not participate in the MLS Reserve League in 2014.
"I think it is a positive that we are moving ahead with our younger players," said Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear. "They come back to our team as better players and we think this will be a good relationship."
"In partnering with a top MLS side like the Houston Dynamo, the Riverhounds are now on a path to the top, both on and off the field," said Riverhounds CEO Jason Kutney.
The Riverhounds were founded in 1999 and play at Highmark Stadium, a 3,500-seat soccer-specific stadium that opened in April. Managed by former MLS player Justin Evans, the Riverhounds joined USL PRO in 2011 and finished in seventh place in the 2013 regular season.
"In doing our homework, we found Pittsburgh to be a very professional organization and a club that will provide the right environment for our young players to develop," Dynamo president Chris Canetti said. "In particular, we like their ownership structure, new downtown stadium, training center and technical philosophy."
The Dynamo are the fifth club in MLS to form an affiliate partnership with a USL PRO club, joining Sporting Kansas City, the New England Revolution, Philadelphia Union and D.C. United. The two leagues entered a multi-year affiliation in 2012.
"The partnership between the Dynamo and Riverhounds is a great step forward as we move into the second year of USL PRO's partnership with Major League Soccer," USL president Tim Holt said. "The Dynamo's Brian Ownby was a standout for Richmond last season (7 goals and 6 assists in 19 games), and this partnership will offer more opportunity for Houston's young players to gain valuable experience with a club that is swiftly rising in USL PRO. In the past year, the Riverhounds have become a model franchise, and we believe this will accelerate their growth in their local market, and offer their fans an outstanding product on the field."
USL PRO is the third tier in the U.S. soccer pyramid. The league will feature 14 clubs for the 2014 season, including expansion teams in Oklahoma City and Sacramento. Four of the last five clubs to enter MLS have moved up from the USL's top professional division. The Vancouver Whitecaps, Seattle Sounders, Portland Timbers and Montreal Impact all operated franchises in the USL's top professional division before making the transition to MLS.
"It is an exciting time to be a soccer fan in Pittsburgh," said Riverhounds head coach Justin Evans. "Houston has been a top team in Major League Soccer since they joined in 2006 and I think affiliating with them definitely shows the positive ambition of our club. Dom (Kinnear) and I have known each other for many years. I am excited to be able to work hand in hand with such a great person, coach and soccer visionary."
Kinnear added: "Justin has a good reputation and had a good playing career in MLS. Our players will be fortunate to be play under an established coach."

Are you ready for Digging in the Stars by Katherine Blakeney? We have three more weeks of teasers for this epic space adventure! When 16 year-old Carter's friend go missing and all clues lead to the rumored ancient tombs of the planet Thror, she decides to divert her archaeology group's trip to Thror in an effort to find him and discover the lost treasures of a lost king. Pre-order your copy now!

about the book:
A lost ancient civilization and the tomb of a legendary king lie buried beneath centuries of ash on the volcanic planet Thror, but that's not the only reason sixteen-year-old Carter has tricked her Archaeology of Outer Space class into coming here. Her best friend Conrad has just disappeared on a trip to Thror, leaving behind little more than a broken vintage camera. The strange and disturbing photographs she manages to extract make her suspect Conrad's disappearance is somehow connected to the hidden tomb of the last king of Thror.
Unfortunately, the ludicrously over-friendly 'Furry Giants' who have taken over the planet's barren surface would rather offer her cheap souvenirs than answers, and the local officials insist they have no record of Conrad's existence. Inspired by fear for Conrad's life and the chance to make the greatest archaeological discovery of the century, Carter and her friends follow Conrad's footsteps deep into the mountains of Thror's forbidden Black Zone and launch an illicit excavation.
Coded messages, stunning ancient ruins, and clues left by Conrad himself begin to surface as the young archaeologists fall victim to an alarming series of accidents staged by the increasingly hostile Furry Giants. Piecing together a history of dictatorship, terrorism and disguise, Carter glimpses the horrors beyond Thror's flamboyant façade and startling revelations about the friend she thought she knew. The masks of Thror hide devastating secrets, and the golden tomb buried deep in the frozen core may claim the lives of everyone she loves.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – There's a new push for more gun control.
Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly have launched a political action committee, saying they want to "encourage elected officials to stand up for solutions to prevent gun violence."
On the second anniversary of the mass shooting in Arizona, Giffords, a victim of that shooting, decided to start the PAC called Americans for Responsible Solutions. It's designed to counter the influence of the gun lobby.
But despite the push, retailers nationwide say ammunition sales are surging. And in Jacksonville, it appears opinions are divided.
"I don't really think that gun control is the issue," said gun owner Gerald Rogers, who's against the push for more gun control. "You know, we have a humanity problem. Guns don't kill people, people kill people."
"It's what we need. We've needed it for a long time," said Rosel Pine, who's in favor of gun control. "There's no reason to have assault weapons."
The divide in public opinion comes after lawmakers introduced nearly a dozen bills to curb gun violence, on the heels of the president's promise to create a task force.
It's a move Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., supports.
"No one is trying to take legitimate gun owners' guns, but I personally do not feel that we need to outgun the police department. You need to keep that in line. Why would you need machine guns when the police officers don't have them?"
Despite the efforts championed by public figures like CNN's Piers Morgan, adovocates of the Second Amendement are pushing back.
clip alex jones/radio talk show host/2nd amendment advocate
"It doesn't matter how many lemmings you get out there on the street begging for them to have their guns taken. We will not relinquish them. Do you understand?" radio talk show host Alex Jones said. "That's why you're going to fail, and the establishment knows, no matter how much propaganda, the republic will rise again when you attempt to take our guns."
In fact, there's already movement organizing online to hold a "Gun Appreciation Day" scheduled for Jan. 19, just two days before the president's second inaugural celebration.
No stranger to gun violence, Jordan Davis' father, Ron Davis, is fighting for the laws to be changed after his son was shot at a Southside gas station.
"People are so stubborn, don't want to change the gun laws," he said earlier this month.
He and other gun control supporters are backing the vice president's efforts to craft new recommendations.
"I think all of us know that Joe Biden is not a shrinking violet, particularly when it comes to crime and the gun problem in this country and the number of murders," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
Biden is expected to sit down with the National Rifle Association in Washington D.C. this week before presenting his proposals to the president.

It is very important that your doctor should check the progress of you or your child at regular visits to make sure this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects. Your doctor may want also to check your heart rhythm while you are using this medicine.
You should not use this medicine if you or your child are using the following medicines: arsenic trioxide (Trisenox®), cisapride (Propulsid®), dolasetron mesylate (Anzemet®), droperidol (Dridol®, Inapsine®), levomethadyl acetate (Orlaam®), methylphenidate (Ritalin®), pemoline (Cylert®), pentamidine (Nebupent®), probucol, tacrolimus (Prograf®), zileuton (Zyflo®), amphetamines (such as Desoxyn®, Dexedrine®), medicine for heart rhythm problems (such as amiodarone, disopyramide, dofetilide, procainamide, quinidine, sotalol, Betapace®, Cardioquin®, Cordarone®, Norpace®, Procanbid®, Quinaglute®, or Tikosyn®), medicine for depression (such as amitriptyline, citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, nefazodone, nortriptyline, paroxetine, sertraline, Celexa®, Elavil®, Lexapro™, Luvox®, Pamelor®, Paxil®, Prozac®, Sarafem®, Serzone®, Vivactil®, or Zoloft®), certain antibiotics (such as azithromycin, clarithromycin, dirithromycin, erythromycin, gatifloxacin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, sparfloxacin, troleandomycin, Avelox®, Biaxin®, Ery-tab®, Levaquin®, Nizoral®, Sporanox®, Tao®, Tequin®, Zagam®, or Zithromax®), medicine to treat HIV infection (such as indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, Crixivan®, Fortovase®, Invirase®, Norvir®, or Viracept®), medicine to treat malaria (such as halofantrine, mefloquine, Halfan®, or Lariam®), or medicine to treat mental illness (such as chlorpromazine, loxapine, mesoridazine, molindone, perphenazine, prochlorperazine, quetiapine, thioridazine, thiothixene, ziprasidone, Compazine®, Geodon®, Mellaril®, Serentil®, or Seroquel®). Using these medicines together with pimozide may increase risk for more serious side effects.
This medicine can cause changes in heart rhythms, such as a condition called QT prolongation. It may change the way your heart beats and cause fainting or serious side effects in some patients. Contact your doctor right away if you or your child have any symptoms of heart rhythm problems, such as fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeats.
This medicine may cause tardive dyskinesia (a movement disorder). Stop using this medicine and check with your doctor right away if you or your child have any of the following symptoms while taking this medicine: lip smacking or puckering, puffing of the cheeks, rapid or worm-like movements of the tongue, uncontrolled chewing movements, or uncontrolled movements of the arms and legs.
Check with your doctor right away if you or your child are having convulsions (seizures); difficulty with breathing; a fast heartbeat; high fever; high or low blood pressure; increased sweating; loss of bladder control; severe muscle stiffness; unusually pale skin; or tiredness. These could be symptoms of a serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS).
Stop using this medicine and check with your doctor if you notice any signs of fever, chills, or sore throat. These could be symptoms of an infection resulting from low white blood cell counts.
Do not suddenly stop taking this medicine without first checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount you are taking before stopping completely. This will allow your body time to adjust and help to avoid worsening of your medical condition.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system, possibly causing drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; prescription pain medicine or narcotics; medicine for seizures or barbiturates; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of the above while you or your child are using this medicine.
This medicine may cause some people to become dizzy, drowsy, or less alert or to have blurred vision or muscle stiffness, especially as the amount of medicine is increased. Even if you take pimozide at bedtime, you may feel drowsy or less alert on arising. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert, not able to see well, or if you do not have good muscle control.
Although not a problem for many patients, dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur when you get up from a sitting or lying position. Getting up slowly may help. If the problem continues or gets worse, check with your doctor.
Before having any kind of surgery, dental treatment, or emergency treatment, tell the medical doctor or dentist in charge that you are using this medicine. Taking pimozide together with medicines that are used during surgery or dental or emergency treatment may increase the CNS depressant effects.
Pimozide may cause dryness of the mouth. For temporary relief, use sugarless gum or candy, melt bits of ice in your mouth, or use a saliva substitute. However, if your mouth continues to feel dry for more than 2 weeks, check with your medical doctor or dentist. Continuing dryness of the mouth may increase the chance of dental disease, including tooth decay, gum disease, and fungus infections.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

In his latest post, Jacob Santos talks about global functions and some of the dangers behind using them in your code (as per his own experience debugging with them in place).
When I develop in PHP and code functions, I always either place them in a file or place them at the top of the script. Well, this is more about C++ and how I totally freaked out my teacher, by breaking his paradigm of thought. You see, you can have a definition of a function at the top of the page and then code the body of the function later.
He soon discovered his problem in debugging the script - he was too used to having the global functions at the top (as in C++) and not mixed in with the code - or at the bottom of the script.
If there is something at least somewhat common about popular scripts that people use and extend, is that the functions are placed in organized manner. Reforming otherwise is a bitch and I remember rewriting the entire script anyway. You can't reform when you can't reuse anything.

Anne Hathaway is excited to take on her new gig as Oscars co-host – but the actress admits it won't be an easy task.
"I don't really have a great reason," Anne told The New York Post's PopWrap of taking the job, alongside fellow young actor James Franco. "I like a challenge. It seems like an incredibly cool and exhilarating thing to do."

U.S. & World
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Anne and James will co-host the 83rd annual Academy Awards, which will air live on ABC on February 27, 2011.
While the "Love and Other Drugs" actress is no stranger to the Oscars stage – having previously performed with host Hugh Jackman during the show's 2009 musical opening — Anne said she expects to have a case of the jitters during the telecast.

"I'm convinced it will be a [nerve-wracking experience]," she told PopWrap.
Both Anne and James may be involved in more than just hosting once the awards are handed out, as both stars are garnering Oscar buzz for their respective roles.
James is being considered an early Best Actor Oscar favorite for his turn in the dramatic "127 Hours," while Anne is considered a long shot for a Best Actress nomination for her "Love and Other Drugs" role, opposite Jake Gyllenhaal.

Rutgers University is reviewing practice videos of all sports to see if any coach engaged in behavior like the type that cost men's basketball coach Mike Rice his job, the university's president announced Monday.
University President Robert Barchi, speaking during a town hall meeting on the school's Newark campus, said he wants any instances of bullying or homophobic language to be immediately reported.
Barchi reiterated that he wished he had viewed the video where Rice shoved players and called them gay slurs when it first surfaced in November, saying he would have fired Rice then. In his remarks, he did not mention the coach, and focused solely on a reconfiguration of higher education in New Jersey.
Meanwhile, Gov. Chris Christie on Monday defended Barchi's handling of the scandal, as the university announced it plans to commission a probe of what happened.
While he's issued statements, a news conference Monday was the first time Christie answered questions about the situation.
He said that ousting Barchi now would be a mistake for Rutgers, and he praised the president, who took office in September, for working quickly last week to fire Rice and get Athletic Director Tim Pernetti to resign within days after he — and the public — first viewed the video.
Christie said Rice should have been ousted last year.
"They were wrong not to come to the conclusion that Coach Rice needed to be fired immediately," Christie said. The Republican governor added that had he been aware of the issues earlier he would have used his "power of persuasion" to try to get Rice fired then.
Christie said presidents must delegate some matters and that the mistake was not a firing offence.
Also Monday, Rutgers announced that it is commissioning a review of the way the university handled the situation.
The scandal has prompted the FBI to investigate whether a former Rutgers basketball employee asked for money from Rutgers in exchange for not taking the videos public, a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press.
And new details have emerged about athletic director Tim Pernetti's settlement with the university.
He is getting $1.2 million in salary and will get to keep his Rutgers-issued iPad, $12,000 car allowance and more than two years of health insurance coverage.
The AP obtained details of the settlement Monday through an open records request with Rutgers. The Star-Ledger had previously reported some details.
Rutgers said its Board of Governors will meet Thursday to discuss hiring the adviser to review the case.

How hard are guns to clean, really? "Man shot in leg while cleaning gun," "Man shoots self while cleaning gun," "SAPD: Man shoots self while cleaning gun," "Florida Man Shoots Himself In Crotch With Flare Gun." (The guy with the flare gun wasn't cleaning it—but the story does note that this September "in Port. St. Lucie, Florida, a man shot himself in the penis while cleaning a gun he had purchased at a party.") Most of those incidents happened in the last week, and the results don't even include people that were too embarrassed to let the media get ahold of the story.
Such as Red Sox prospect Bryce Brentz, who apparently shot himself in the leg some time ago:
The Boston Herald says that Cherington told the media the "bullet entered Brentz' leg and went out the other side," which is disgusting. Maybe just let the guns get dirty from now on.

This program is for mofawtar 2, mofawtar 3 and mofawtar 4 plan customers only. mofawtar basic and mofawtar 5 customers are not eligible for this program. The customer's mobile number must be established for a minimum of 6 months, and stc can allow some customers who do not meet the condition to obtain devices according to their policy and procedures at stc discretion.
5- The amount of total installments is calculated for all mobile numbers registered under the customer's name during the previous fiscal year after requesting a smartphone through the Monthly Installment Program. The amount shall count to SAR 7800 minimum. The customer may subscribe later to one of the device's plans (total amount of paid bills for mobile numbers registered under the customer's name during the past 12 months prior to his/her request to subscribe to smart-devices monthly installment program). 6- Mofawtar 3 and Mofawtar 4 subscribers may avail any of the installment plans for smart devices on contracts for 12, 18 or 24 months.
7- Mofawtar 2 plan subscribers may avail one of the 25, 50, 75 or 100 installment plans only on contracts for 12, 18 or 24 months.
8- In case a Mofawtar 2 plan subscriber desires to avail 125 or 150 installment plans, the subscriber must upgrade to Mofawtar 3 or Mofawtar 4.
9- If the subscriber wishes to cancel a Devices Monthly Instalment Program contract, he/she shall pay only the remaining installments against the device's value.
10- If the device amount was paid in full before the end of the contract term (regardless of the total value of the cell selected by the subscriber), the remaining installments remained shall not be calculated (as the value thereof is zero).
Example: a subscriber joins the 150 Program with a 24-month contract (total cell amount is SAR 3600) and choses a device worth SAR 3000; in this case the subscriber pays SR 150 as monthly installments against the device for 20 months only as the total value of the device is realized on 20 months (SAR 150 x 20 months = SAR 3000).
11- If the device value is different than the total value of the selected cell, the device value only will be recovered from the subscriber.
Example: a subscriber joins the 50 Program with a 24-month contract (total cell amount is SAR 1200) and choses a device worth SAR 1185; in this case the subscriber pays SR 50 as monthly installments against the device for 23 months, then on the last month the subscriber is billed the remaining value of the device (SAR 35).
12- A subscriber on Devices Monthly Instalment Program may upgrade his/her postpaid plan during the contract term to a higher plan, and may as well request downgrading to his/her original plan. However, the subscriber may not downgrade to a postpaid plan lower than the plan activated when joining the Devices Monthly Instalment Program contract unless the current contract expires or the device value is fulfilled.

Issued in 2008, the second National Human Development Report (NHDR) succeeded in realizing one of the most important goals of Human Development Reports: raising a debate on development policies among government officials, academics, intellectuals, media professionals, and civil society organizations. Today, with the increasing need to promote the government's role as a caretaker of human development, this report focuses on
Iraqi youth.
In a country where young people constitute a high percentage of the population, their success or failure will have a clear impact on society en masse. The number of Iraq's children and youth increasing at an unprecedented rate. In
2010, Iraq had 5.1 million children and 6 million young people. These numbers are expected to run as high as 6.7 million and 9.6 million respectively in 2025, and 8.9 million and 14.9 million respectively in 2050.
This report is important given the data of the demographic window – that period of time in a nation's demographic transition when the proportion of the working age population is particularly prominent for a decade or more – which has become of interest to states. It is an opportunity to realize development in Iraq, though this is conditioned on the positive response of the country's socio-economic policies. Advancement is not guaranteed, as the
demographic window can be transformed into an element of social relapse, short-lived economic growth, increased unemployment, and a disintegrated labor market, which can trigger a raft of problems if proper development policies and strategies are not in place.
National awareness of youth issues is on the rise at various policy- and decision- making levels. There is also general awareness of the important role of this social group. Despite the growing interest in youth issues after 2003, however, the projects designed to empower and integrate the youth and engage them in development priorities, plans, and strategies have been impeded by violence and instability.
Through factual analysis and the integration of the vision and priorities of Iraqi youth, this report develops an integrated structure that combines youth issues with various dimensions of the development process. This will help to develop policies that address the role of the youth in the current and future human development process. And what makes the recommendations of this report even more important is that many of them reflect a reality that our youth teams and field work groups have explored through interviewing young Iraqis of different genders, ethnicities, education levels, and social and geographical backgrounds.
Human security analysis is an aspect of human development analysis broadly conceived, an approach initiated by Haq, Sen and associates. The same researchers formulated human security and human development as part of the same enterprise. Human development and human security are, in fact, inseparable: whereas human development seeks to increase peoples' options, opportunities and access to public services and goods, and emphasizes what can be achieved, human security focuses on the risks, dangers, and threats to human development, evaluates the degree of confidence that people have in public services and goods, and emphasizes what can be lost when human potential is thwarted (Tadjbakhsh and Chenoy, 2007).
If we see human development analysis as including attention to basic needs and to threats, disruptions and fluctuations, as it should and typically does, then human security analysis is a wing or dimension within it. If though human development analysis looks only at creation and expansion of valuable capabilities, then human security analysis adds special attention to the counterpart concerns: vulnerabilities, risks and forces of disruption and destruction. The two types of analysis can then be described as partners: "…work on human security recognizes that situations are not stable, and that we must plan not only for how to fulfill aspirations but how to deal with threats and adversities, many of which are situation-specific, group-specific, intersectional" and require locally determined response (Frediani et al. 2014, p. 7).12 Human development is measured by the Human Development Index (HDI). This index actually measures the average achievements in a country in three basic
dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living.13 The strong connection between human development and human security brings us to consider if conceptualizing the human security index would be possible.
Fundamental precondition for sustainable development is empowerment of people, referring to their education. By educating them, the key barrier to human development – human mind – can be surpassed. Means for achieving sustainable human development are rule of law, respect for human rights, economic development, social development, environmental development and creation of adequate norms and regimes. Many peace-building practices around the world reflect how development is connected to safety of people. Safe environment is a precondition for implementation of any kind of developmental projects, which further influence the wellbeing of population. A population with more satisfied basic needs is less likely to turn to violence in solving its problems.
The Report team conducted a detailed analysis of the socioeconomic and environmental situation in the regions of Belarus and developed proposals for the national and regional authorities, focusing on the comprehensive development of territories that would secure the realization of competitive advantages.
Chilean society is at a crossroads. What do we expect of Chile? What do we want to change…. and keep? Who should take part in that debate? And, how should decisions be taken? Questions abound, and at different levels, covering both the issues under discussion as well as how they are tackled and discussed. Issues now arise that hitherto appeared impossible, and what before had appeared unattainable, is now plausible. New agents are appearing who are intent on changing things and flexing their muscles in society.

Posted 10:48 p.m. Updated 11:52 p.m.
Associated Press
TULSA, Okla. - All those late-season struggles are behind Mike Davis and Illinois. The NCAA tournament is all that matters now.
Davis tied his season high with 22 points, Demetri McCamey added 17 points and seven assists and Illinois dominated UNLV 73-62 Friday night to set up another meeting between Fighting Illini coaches past and present in the Southwest region of the NCAA tournament.
The ninth-seeded Illini (20-13) took control with an early 15-0 run and led by as many as 25 in a surprisingly easy rout, after losing 10 of their previous 16 games to bring into question whether they'd even make it into the 68-team bracket.
"We always talk about it. It's not what you do at the beginning of the year. ... ... It's about what you do now," McCamey said. "Everybody will forget about what you did at the beginning of the season or the Big Ten season if you go out and win in March."
Bruce Weber's squad led by double digits throughout the second half against eighth-seeded UNLV (24-9), with former Illini coach Lon Kruger in charge. Next up for Illinois is a Sunday night clash against No. 1 seed Kansas and Weber's predecessor, Bill Self.
"It's been such a long time. Both Lon and Bill did tremendous job at Illinois. I respect them. Everywhere they've been they've been very good coaches, there's no doubt," Weber said. "At Illinois, they helped the program.
"I'm just worried about Kansas. That's what I'm really worried about, their players and seeing if we can match up with them."
Illinois moved to 15-0 this season when McCamey has at least seven assists. The Illini played without freshman reserve Jereme Richmond, who was suspended for violating unspecified team rules. Weber said he hadn't decided whether Richmond will play Sunday.
Oscar Bellfield scored 14 to lead the Runnin' Rebels, who had lost just three of their previous 13 games - all against BYU and San Diego State, the Mountain West's pair of top-10 powers.
"It's disappointing for the guys because they played really well in the last month especially, and doing the things they needed to do to create the opportunity to be here," said Kruger, going against Illinois for the first time in his 25 years as a college coach.
"To play like that in the first half, everyone was disappointed for sure."
Illinois was ranked as high as No. 12 at midseason but faded with a series of late-game failures. That wasn't an issue this time.
The Illini were on from the start, handling UNLV's in-your-face defense with ease and building a 23-point lead while shooting 63 percent in the first half. The Runnin' Rebels went scoreless for a span of nearly seven minutes in the first half.
McCamey ran the show, setting up his teammates early and then getting to the basket himself. He started the Illini's big run with back-to-back layups and finished it off with a 3-pointer from the left wing that made it 29-12 with 6:51 left before halftime.
Mike Tisdale answered UNLV's next basket - Anthony Marshall's driving layup that resulted in a three-point play - with a highlight-reel throwdown of Brandon Paul's alley-oop and Illinois kept rolling.
McCamey provided the finishing touches with another 3-pointer that dropped in at the halftime buzzer, putting Illinois up 46-24, and then leaped into a teammate before heading to the locker room.
It was the second time in the last three games the Illini were so dominant in the first half. They also rushed out to a 46-21 halftime lead against Indiana on senior day in Champaign. But in between, they squandered a 12-point lead in the final 8 12 minutes against Michigan at the Big Ten tournament to provide a fresh reminder of a season-long quandary heading into the NCAAs.
"I thought they played with a bounce to their step. When that happens and one team gets an upper hand like that, the other team's on it's heels," Kruger said. "It's not like our guys wanted to play with less energy, but Illinois won all of those energy battles. That kind of snowballed on us."
UNLV got within 61-45 on Chace Stanback's jumper with 8 minutes left, but D.J. Richardson hit back-to-back 3-pointers and then a layup to bump the lead back to 22 by the 5-minute mark.
A Rebels rally that came way too late made the score look deceivingly close in Illinois' first NCAA tournament win in five years.
"It meant something to our kids, to our seniors, and I'm hoping now they can want more," Weber said. "I told them before the game it's their expectations that matter. How do they approach the game? How do they approach the tournament? What's their desire? It's the same attitude we've got to have on Sunday. We've got a tougher opponent, obviously."
The next task is to make it out of the opening weekend for the first time since losing to North Carolina in the 2005 national championship game. And it won't be an easy one against the Jayhawks, who have lost twice all season and will be trying to exorcise the demons of a second-round loss against Northern Iowa last year.
"It's going to take a special effort," Weber said, "but it's possible on Sunday."

Sandy Hook mom: a year of grief and gratitude
My brother calls it "the lost week."
It was late in the year but the first days of 2012, A.L. -- after Lauren -- when our family was ripped from our ordinary lives and thrown into a previously unimaginable reality.
It started as the week I always take off from work before Christmas, a huge holiday in our immediate family. I was very behind with the preparations, but the afternoon of Dec. 13 there was just enough time in the falling darkness to pick out a tree at the nursery.
It was a nearly 10-foot tree, as we always chose, so the angel on top would just clear the living room ceiling. The size of the tree was very important to my oldest child and only daughter. It was what she'd known every Christmas of her life in our hundred-plus-year-old house, and she put a great deal of importance on family traditions.
That evening was a rarity, with neither of us at our jobs. I was washing dishes in the sink and she came to dry them, reminding me of thousands of scenes with my sisters and I doing the same while growing up.
We talked about a longtime friend she'd become estranged from, and I urged Lauren to reach out to her again. I said I thought as we mature we should continuously improve ourselves and try to do the right thing. Lauren was quite dedicated to doing the right thing.
She fell asleep on the living room sofa while watching TV. We usually watched "Project Runway" together, and right before I said good night to her later in her room she said she hadn't seen who was chosen the winner.
"We have it on Tivo," I assured her. "You can find out anytime."
How ironic that would prove to be.
The next morning she didn't tiptoe into my room to ask if her scarf looked all right or if I could help her with her bracelet clasp, as she so often did. She had a very special evening planned, and she hurried off to start the day.
I was awakened by my partner, Hartford Courant reporter Bill Leukhardt, rustling to get ready for work. His editors had called several times about a shooting in Newtown, he whispered. Since he lives closer than his coworkers, they asked him to check it out.
Probably a domestic incident, he said, adding I should go back to sleep. He'd be back or call me soon.
He remembers we exchanged five phone calls before he was told -- before the extent of the tragedy was known -- not to stay at Sandy Hook Elementary School because of his personal connection. I remember none of the calls. The lost week had begun.
I began watching the TV news about 11:30 a.m., when three victims of a gunman were reported. Two were children, so I figured the odds were Lauren was OK. My heart sank when the 1 p.m. news flash said 21 victims.
Still, I held out stupid hope for many of the next 12 hours, after which we got the confirmation of her death. My brother and his wife had already arrived from a three-and-a-half-hour drive I originally thought was an overreaction.
More Information
Teresa Bomgardner Rousseau is a copy editor at The News-Times in Danbury, Conn. Her daughter, Lauren Rousseau, 30, was among those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Lauren had recently been hired as a full-time substitute teacher.
An essay by a local writer has run every day this week.
The lost week kicked into gear. My relatives flew in from three states and drove in from several others. They would be in town for days, and everyone needed to eat and be kept in the loop.
Big boxes of food arrived from our friends and employers, but getting it served to the crowd was a logistical problem. I remember worrying a lot about that. And Christmas? What to do about Christmas, the hap-, happiest time of the year?
I have heartbreaking photos of stunned relatives visiting the memorials at the firehouse and the center of Sandy Hook.
Family members met to discuss details of the Lauren's Dec. 20 memorial service, but there wasn't time to finesse the plans the way I would have liked. Hundreds of people were turned away from the church for lack of space.
Everything seemed so confusing, so compromised, so incomprehensible.
I remember being hugged by the president of the United States and the governor of Connecticut and being interviewed by TV people from here and abroad, but mostly I remember that nightmare time as one in which our happy past was a blur and our future a troubling fog.
It's a year later and we are thankful to have survived that week and the intermittent lost weeks that followed. As Bill says, "Every day is Dec. 14 at our house."
Like other Sandy Hook victims' families, we decided to spend part of this week and next week far from home so we would not have dwell on the details of last Dec. 14 where they unfolded. We will be in a remote place literally, and who-knows-where emotionally.
My younger sister, Lauren's godmother, devised her own coping strategy for the day, a project she calls 26 Acts of Purple, after Lauren's signature color. For weeks she crocheted ribbon scarves as fast as she could so she'd have 26 to give to Lauren's loved ones. She eventually made more than 50.
Her idea is for us to wear them on the 14th, a way to bond in honoring Lauren wherever we are.
All of our family wore purple at Lauren's memorial service, and we were joined in that act by people all over the country.
Students in the Virginia school district where Lauren's cousin is a counselor followed that symbolic support with a 26 Acts of Kindness effort, which flooded their community -- in one month -- with 26 kindnesses times 4,000 students. What a mighty tribute to our petite teacher and barista!
The outpouring of concern and sympathy from people who only knew us from the news was the saving grace of 2013 A.L. We cannot begin to tell the hundreds of strangers who sent letters, cards, handcrafts, artwork and other gifts how touched we are by their caring.
I wear my cheery public face most of the time, but sometimes when I hear "I think of you all the time," "I pray for Lauren every day," or "I have her photo on my desk so I can see it," I want to weep with gratitude as well as sadness.
An amazing number of people were touched by her warmth, her sparkle, her thoughtfulness, her determination, her enthusiasm, her competence, her common sense, her constant smile and her silly side.
Grief is a strange companion. It sneaks up and smacks or trips you when you least expect it. It holds you hostage; you are at its mercy. But it isn't only the property of the Sandy Hook victim's families. It's required of multitudes of people every day.
The lost loved one, the foreclosed home, the cancer diagnosis, the unraveled marriage, the longtime career that's gone. This sadness surrounds us all. In the past year I've experienced how one's own grief is lessened by recognizing other people who are hurting and reaching out to help them.
At Christmas and all year long, do the right thing, be unreasonably generous, cherish your family, choose love, chase joy, don't hold grudges, ignore life's little irritations.
These are things I taught my precious daughter and her brothers, Matthew and Andrew, and advice I leave with you, as well as words that came to me last Dec. 14 and became my mantra: Memories are for comfort, not for pain.

It's been called the universe's most elusive substance—and for good reason. First hypothesized in the 1930s, dark matter is thought to make up over a quarter of the mass of our universe—far more than ordinary matter—yet we still don't understand its nature or composition.
On Wednesday May 7, 2014, join Professor Gianfranco Bertone as he explores this cosmic mystery in "Behind the Scenes of the Universe: From the Higgs to Dark Matter," part of Perimeter Institute's Public Lecture Series presented by Sun Life Financial. Bertone will take the audience from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to the new generation of astroparticle experiments being conducted deep underground and in space as he explores the huge impact that direct detection of dark matter would represent for physics and beyond.
Bertone is an Associate Professor at the University of Amsterdam, where he investigates topics at the interface of particle physics and cosmology. He is also a member of GRAPPA, a new center of excellence in Gravitation and Astroparticle Physics at the University of Amsterdam.
In addition to his research, Bertone edited Particle Dark Matter: Observations, Models and Searches, was editor-in-chief of the journal Physics of the Dark Universe, and has authored a popular science book, Behind the Scenes of the Universe: From the Higgs to Dark Matter.
Bertone's lecture will be held on Wednesday May 7, 2014 at 7:00 PM EDT in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Clarins UV Plus Day Screen High Protection SPF 40
Tester: Hispanic (Venezuelan) about Shakira's complexion with combination/dry skin.
"Ah, sunscreen, so many choices…and so little time. For my face, I am very finicky about the texture, the smell, the staying power and also the convenience level of the packaging (must be travel/gym ready). This new Clarins sunscreen was a relief in a sea of sunscreen I have been testing for the last month or so.
I love the little cylinder tube which is super portable. The formula itself is very lightweight and on the thin side, but so concentrated I didn't need much to cover my face (so it is very long lasting). There is a light fragrance, which dissipated quickly. The lotion glided on my skin without a trace of stickiness, white cast, or oil. The finish was matte. I found that it was light enough to be layered over my favorite serum and under my liquid bronzer or tinted moisturizer that I tend to favor in the summer months. As a matter of fact, this is actually the perfect skin primer before makeup application. The lasting power was fantastic on days I was working, running around outside or actually sunning at the beach. I had no breakouts or irritation from the product and it didn't run or melt on my skin. It also left my skin soft and moisturized without feeling oily, so on the weekends I would just wear this with a little mascara and lip color and I was good to go!
This is a non-chemical sunscreen which many of you will also appreciate. It's made from 100% minerals. Yes, this is another product that is indeed worth every penny and I will be stock piling!
Note: As an added bonus if you are like me and always around computer screens, Clarins has added protection against electromagnetic waves in this formula." L.L.

Few of us look forward enthusiastically to a stay in a hospital. That's as it should be. Hospital stays are not fun, and stays at even the very best hospitals pose significant risks of infections and other mishaps.
But you'll be more comfortable entering a hospital if you know that the hospital stay is really necessary, that the hospital was selected carefully, and that you know how to deal effectively with the hospital's staff. Our ratings of more than 4,800 U.S. acute-care hospitals will help you find that peace of mind. Our ratings provide:
- A comparison of hospitals' death and "adverse outcome" rates for major types of cases.
- Doctors' ratings of hospitals.
- Ratings from patients.
- Ratings of hospitals on key patient safety measures.
Whatever hospital you choose, you'll want to get the best care possible. What you get depends in part on how well you are informed about what to expect during your stay. It also depends on how carefully you and your family and friends keep an eye on what the staff is doing. The advice we provide will help you prepare for your stay, play a useful role in your care, and strategies on protecting yourself from poor care.

Funcom's Morrison believes western MMO players "expect" the games to be free-to-play
Funcom's Craig Morrison believes MMO players have come to expect the titles to either launch free-to-play, or switch over to the options relatively soon post launch. The later, is a problematic expectation, according to the firm's Age of Conan creative director.
Speaking with Gamasutra, Morrison said more games will launch with the free-to-play model as it becomes the accepted model for MMOs, especially in western markets.
At present though, the problem developers face is that if the game isn't free at launch, potential players will hold out until the game's publisher adopts the business model.
"I think you can definitely see Western games being designed to start at the gates as free-to-play games, because that's what the market will expect," he said. "That's what the users will want, from an accessibility point of view.
"Eventually it only stands to reason that people's thought process is 'Oh, well, I'll wait till it's free-to-play,' and that's not something we want as game developers. You don't want players to be going, 'I really want to play that game! … But I'm going to wait.'"
Funcom was one of the first MMO developers to adopt the model with Anarchy Online in 2005, followed by Age of Conan in 2010. Many subscription MMOS which have resisted the free-to-play option thus far, have at least made the games free up to a certain level – which is essentially an extended trial – and its a trend Morrison feels is "disappearing fast."
"That will no longer be a model which clicks with the players; they'll more be looking for, 'We expect a free-to-play offering,'" he said. "Players expect a large amount of content for a considerable amount of time on a free-to-play basis.
"If they see the added value in moving into a hybrid, or a subscription, or buying something through a virtual store, then they will. I don't think players are averse to spending money if they think they're getting added value."
Morrison said with MMOs, subscriptions and free-to-play can be seen "as tools," and used well, will result in hybrid solutions which work.
"We don't categorically go, 'Subscriptions are dead; there will never be subscriptions anymore,' or, 'Free-to-play is the only way to monetize your games,'" he said. "I think it depends on the game and it depends on your project."
The latest MMO adopt a hybrid model is Star Wars: The Old Republic, which will launch its free-to-play option tomorrow, November 15.
