That´s what I thought too and ordered one for my wife and one for me1968 wrote:I think its money well spend for the peace of mind that youll have a Toy to rest on while your shwimming back to shore.
Not necessarily knocking the invention... just a little skeptical on it's use for kitesurfing and windsurfing. I already use a pfd and with my harness with the safety attached ... I can't imagine having another thing wrapped around me. The video wasn't convincing either... I don't think it inflated to enough psi for my liking. If you're surfing or SUP then you already have a floatation device with you. If you're kitesurfing in big surf with it then it's probably gonna get ripped right off your body after you wipe out... but even if it doesn't if you're in big surf you know how to take care of yourself I'm sure.mike dubs wrote: Interesting to see people knock it, perhaps they havent read all the innovation awards its got.
I don't think most of you get what the Restube is for. It's for a real emergency.Flight Time wrote:You probably have enough things to keep your mind occupied while reeling in your lines while keeping your board from floating away, and self-rescuing with the kite in hand, that thing would be just getting in the way at that point. I guess the only situation it would really benefit you in is if you had to completely release the kite and you were a couple miles offshore, or a bad swimmer in really heavy chop or whitewater.
One real emergency is when you can't release the kite because it's death looping you're being dragged underwater like a fishing lure and you need floatation to keep your head above water. Another real emergency is if you are knocked unconscious from a hard hit and need something to keep your head above water.gmb13 wrote:I don't think most of you get what the Restube is for.

+1 for the good old lifevest. I am always surprised safety flotation seems to come up less than helmets even. Full time, or emergency deployable floatation always sound like a good idea to me.hmattar wrote:Good old lifevest helped me alot yesterday.

Here are the steps I've taken: - Created a new client - Created a new website and associated it with the client created - Created an ssh user and specified Chroot Shell for the account as "Jailkit". I'm able to ssh into the server but am not chrooted. I'm able to traverse the entire file system.

Some random facts
This is my 100th post.
As of yesterday, Sitemeter says 10,000 people have come to see me.
That's an average of about 350 a day. (Though I'm at least 10 of those. My sister is another 5.)
People spend an average of almost 4:00 minutes each time they're here.
Technorati says that 76 people have linked to me. I've found a few more that Technorati has missed.
I've been doing this for a little bit over a month.
Since I started blogging, 3 doc blogs that I read on a daily basis have disappeared under duress. One came back. A couple more are getting paranoid. I can't blame them.
I'm guest-hosting Change of Shift next month. *yikes*
My mommy thinks I have a potty mouth. She has no idea. I have a "Mommy" button next to the spellcheck in order to replace a suitable amount of bad words with kosher versions so that she'll read my blog.
The only thing that made me smile last night at work (besides LeBron James) was the gentleman who stepped right inside the door of the completely full lobby and said, (in "deaf little old man" volume) "I can't take a piss and it's killing me. I need a tube in my penis, NOW!"
Have a nice day.

Detroit Tigers Manager Jim Leyland Announces Retirement
DETROIT (AP) — Jim Leyland is stepping down as manager of the Detroit Tigers.
Leyland announced the move Monday, two days after the Tigers were eliminated from the AL championship series by Boston in six games. The 68-year-old Leyland led Detroit to the World Series twice in eight years, and the Tigers have won the last three AL Central titles.
Leyland has been working under one-year contracts the last couple years, saying he was content to wait until after the season to address his status.
Leyland was 700-597 with the Tigers. In all, he is 1,769-1,728 with the Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Florida Marlins and Colorado Rockies. He won the World Series in 1997 with Florida.

Tomatoes ready for their starring role
Summer is the season of tomatoes.
Forget those bland, mealy versions we suffer with for the rest of the year. Warmed by the sun and ripened on the vine, the summer fruit is full of flavour, evocative of hot days, lazy evenings and time spent outdoors.
They are best enjoyed simply: a sprinkle of salt, drizzle of olive oil and a splash of Balsamic; paired with basil and creamy fior de latte; or in a rustic Italian salad with chunks of toasted bread and a bright dressing.
Panzanella is a Tuscan salad traditionally made from stale bread and tomatoes. Like most good Italian dishes, the key is to keep it simple.
Of course, the star of the salad is the tomatoes, so I tend to go for heirloom versions or cherry or grape tomatoes in a variety of colours. (Picking a mixture of yellow, red and orange tomatoes adds a nice colour to the salad.) These baby ones tend to have more flavour than their larger counterparts. Small ones just need to be halved or quartered, depending on their size; larger tomatoes should be cut into bite-sized chunks.
While some recipes call for other vegetables, cheese, tuna or various herbs, I've gone for a version that sticks quite closely to the original. But I skipped the idea of using stale bread — since I rarely have any lying around — and went with one that uses toasted chunks of bread to soak up the tomato juices and dressing.
Although summer cooking, as a general rule in my kitchen, should not involve turning on the oven, I found it was worth it for the 15 minutes it took to make the ad hoc croutons. Tossing roughly ripped up pieces of bread with some olive oil, salt and pepper and baking briefly in the oven gives them a little more texture, even when doused with a basic vinaigrette. Not to mention that the little bit of oil and seasoning also goes a long way to flavouring the bread. I used ciabatta, which I like for its airy, hole-y interior and crisp crust, but most hearty breads will do.
The benefit of calling a salad rustic is there's no need to fuss over presentation. So, I ripped the bread into chunks instead of cutting them into cubes.
This was far less work — always nice — but also meant the bits of bread had varying sizes and craggy edges, perfect for toasting; those edges bake into varying hues of golden and brown, leaving some more crisp than others.
Modern versions of Panzanella usually include basil and onions, as does mine. To take some of the edge off those slices of raw onion, I soaked them in vinegar before making the dressing. And then, just before serving, I threw in handfuls of roughly torn basil. (Again, less work and for a more rustic feel.)
Adapted from several sources.
For the croutons:
1/2 lb (250 g) ciabatta, sourdough or hearty bread, roughly torn
2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
freshly ground pepper
For the salad:
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 tbsp (45 mL) red wine vinegar
2 lb (1 kg) tomatoes
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
freshly ground pepper
pinch of sugar
1/4 to 1/3 cup (60 to 80 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
Preheat the oven to 400F. In a small bowl, pour the red wine vinegar over the onion slices and let sit, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
Toss the roughly torn pieces of bread with the olive oil, salt and pepper, then spread over a baking sheet or baking dish, ensuring the bread is not overlapping much. Bake the bread pieces until toasted and golden in places, about 10 to 12 minutes, turning them halfway. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Core and dice large tomatoes — smaller ones can be halved or quartered — and add to a large bowl. Strain the onion slices, reserving the vinegar for the dressing, and add them to the tomatoes. In a jar or small bowl, combine the vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper and sugar. Shake or whisk until the salt and sugar have dissolved.
Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the olive oil and shake or whisk again until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Taste for seasonings, adding more oil if the dressing tastes too acidic.
Pour most of the dressing over the salad and toss until well mixed. Add the croutons and toss again, making sure they get saturated with the vinaigrette. Add more dressing as necessary. The bread pieces will soak up a lot of dressing.
Let sit for about 5 minutes and then toss again.
Tear the basil leaves roughly, add to the salad and mix until combined.
Serve immediately.
Serves 4 to 6.

Smoky Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin Cheesecake
This is my own recipe for pumpkin cheesecake. Baked in a 10-inch spring-form pan, it should serve 10 to 12 people. It's rich!
1/2 box Nabisco Ginger Snaps, crushed
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
Combine these ingredients and press gently into bottom of spring-form pan.
1 lb. cream cheese
1 cup sugar, divided, 3/4 for cream cheese, 1/4 for egg whites
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. vanilla
6 eggs, separated
2 cups pumpkin purée, spiced with 2 Tbsp. ginger and 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
In food processor or mixer combine cream cheese with 3/4 cup sugar. Add flour, salt, vanilla, and egg yolks. Combine well, then add spiced pumpkin mixture.
Whip egg whites with remaining sugar to soft peaks. Fold this gently into pumpkin mixture.
Put into springform pan and bake at 325 degrees for approximately 40 to 55 minutes, or until skewer inserted into center comes out clean. Sorry, this cheesecake does crack sometimes, but it sure is good.

text: Remotely piloted aircraft, or drones, have been the centerpiece of America's counterterrorism toolkit since the start of the Obama presidency, and the benefits have been clear. Their use has significantly weakened al Qaeda and the Taliban while keeping American troops out of harm's way. But critics of drone strikes argue that the short-term gains do not outweigh the long-term consequences—among them, radicalization of a public outraged over civilian deaths. Is our drone program hurting, or helping, in the fight against terrorism?

Setting Boundaries
I love this piece from "Daughterhood" on Setting Boundaries.... Just because someone asks you to do something doesn't mean you should do it. People will make unreasonable demands. Just because they ask, doesn't mean you have to say yes. It's not your job to make everyone comfortable. Someone else's annoyance isn't a sign of your incompetence. It's a sign of their discomfort. Get in the habit of noticing the difference. It will never feel good to set a boundary but…it won't kill you.

Don't Let Organization Become a Distraction
As a virtual assistant, I can't begin to count the number of times prospects and clients have said, "If I could just get organized, everything would be smooth sailing" (or something similar). It's true, when we're overwhelmed and we're not delegating, our sense of organization tends to get....well....lazy. It makes sense, right? You're in a bigger hurry and you're more tired so you don't take the time to put the file folder back where it belongs and you have bigger stacks of "I can't even think

I've recently had some amazing things happening in my business. At my core, I'm super grateful and am proud but I'm guilty of doing something I think we all tend to do. I didn't really notice it until my coach point it out. I'm guilty of having the success and then moving right on to whatever the "next" step is. Jumping right in with both feet. I'm guilty of not actually taking the time to celebrate the success. Why am I sharing this with you? Because when we do this, when we make it all about

Systems and Money: How to Systematize Everything from Invoicing To Tax Preparation
Here's an all-too-common scenario: A seemingly successful coach (or service provider) is hard at work growing her business. She's working lots of hours, and her hourly rate is respectable. But her cash flow is dismal. Why? Because she's working so hard that finding the time to actually take control of her money is impossible. Invoices don't get sent on time. Past due balances are ignored. Taxes aren't done. And maybe worst of all, she's got dozens of recurring payments that go out

Yashica Lynx 14e
Here are some photos from the first roll of Fuji 400 I put through the Yashica Lynx 14e. They didn't come from the camera shown above, but from another Lynx 14, the IC model. "IC" stands for integrated circuit - something I haven't found in this camera yet though I've had the top and bottom covers off. Given its age, the IC would most likely be a TTL device (that's transistor-transistor-logic) and it would very likely be a high current device. That could mean rapid battery drain. But it's only used for the internal meter, and since I use an old Minolta Auto Meter IIIf, I don't really need an on-board meter too.
The lens doesn't like back light, as you can see from this photo of Number One Son at work. That seems to be fairly typical of these old lenses. I haven't put a lens shade on this one yet, but it would probably benefit greatly if I did.
Here's a situation where this lens may excel, window light in a cafe. I'm not sure if it's as sharp as the Yashica Electro GT, and I'd have to do some side-by-side comparisons. That's my friend Wade at breakfast inside Gatsby's Grill in Tulsa, and it's the same spot where I took a photo of my daughter.
This is a penguin. Really. These statues are all over the Tulsa metro area, and this particular one is just outside the Cox Cable office on 41st Street. It looks good for an open shade shot.
Next, I have a roll of black and white going through this camera. I'll post those photos eventually.

Bunyodkor Tashkent dropped points at the top of the AFC Champions League group G after a 0-0 draw with Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
Bunyodkor Tashkent dropped points at the top of the AFC Champions League group G after a 0-0 draw with Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
This allowed Beijing Guoan to not only close the gap at the top of the group but also put some distance between themselves and the Pohang Steelers, which they did by beating the Korean side 2-0 thanks to goals from Shao Jiayi and Joffre Mendez.
In group C, Al Ahli remain top of the pile, after drawing 2-2 with second-placed Al Gharafa.
Alex had given Al Gharafa the lead, only for Amad Al Hosni to equalise before Djibril Cisse put the Qatari side ahead again from the spot.
Jairo Palamino then grabbed the leveller on 69 minutes.
Iranian side Sepahan put further distance between themselves and Al Nasr at the bottom of the group with a 2-1 win.
Top beat bottom in group D as Esteghlal edged out Al Rayyan 2-0, while in the other group D game, Al Hilal beat Al Ain thanks to goals from Abdullah Al-Dawsari and Wesley Lopes De Silva.
Kashiwa Reysol remain top of group H after they drew 1-1 with Guizhou Renhe, Tatsuya Matsushima scoring for Reysol and Li notching for Renhe.
The Central Coast Mariners now lie in second place after a Michael McGlinchey goal gave them all three points against the Suwon Bluewings, who remain bottom without a win so far this campaign.

Welcome to the New York Blood Center's National Cord Blood Program Website - an interactive, informational resource for patients, their families and caregivers, health care professionals, expectant parents and the general public.
NYBC's Howard P. Milstein Cord Blood Center (supported by the Howard and Abby Milstein Foundation) and its Cord Blood Program (NCBP) is the world's first and largest single public cord blood bank. We collect, process, test and store cord blood that mothers donate to us for patients in need for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Our Program makes cord blood available - either as a product (HEMACORD®) licensed by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or under an Investigational New Drug (IND) exemption from the FDA - for children and adults who face a life-threatening illness and need "stem cell" transplants from unrelated donors. NYBC's NCBP was also the first public cord blood bank in the world to receive NetCord-FACT accreditation (June 2003). Click here for more information on NetCord-FACT accreditation. The NetCord-FACT Accreditation was last renewed on February 9th, 2015.
The Food and Drug Administration granted the National Cord Blood Program an Investigational New Drug (IND) exemption in 1996, making us the first cord blood bank to obtain such an exemption. To achieve and maintain this status, we applied voluntarily, submitted our policies and protocols to the FDA and have provided annual reports on our program and on the results of transplants using cord blood units from our bank. As a result of the FDA requirement for a specific clinical protocol, we amended our "banking" IND by expanding it with a Clinical Protocol accepted by the FDA. We are currently increasing the number of participating Transplant Centers. A different and more detailed application was submitted to the FDA in January 2011 for licensure of our cord blood units and processes. The application and our product, HEMACORD®, were approved on November 10th, 2011. This is the first time ever that the FDA has licensed a stem cell product (Press release: FDA, PR Newswire). HEMACORD®, the First FDA-Licensed stem cell product, was awarded the prestigious "Best Biotechnology Product" Award by Prix Galien USA, in October 2014. The award recognizes "biomedical products that advance the human condition and which were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during the past five years," according to the Galien Foundation (Press release).
The FDA considers cord blood to be a "biological" product. Cord blood units that meet all the prescribed FDA cGMP criteria and process requirements can be licensed (as the HEMACORD® products are). Unlicensed cord blood units are considered "investigational" products, which can only be used for human transplantation under an active FDA IND (such as NCBP IND), but their use requires review by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) and particular patient and physician approval, which must be documented on IRB-approved informed consent forms.
From the regulatory perspective, the donors of cord blood (the mothers who donate their newborn's cord blood) and the patients who receive investigational cord blood transplants are "human research subjects" under FDA and Office for Human Research Protection (OHRP). For this reason, since 1996, we collect cord blood following protocols, policies and procedures submitted to the FDA and formally accepted by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the New York Blood Center as well as by the IRB of each of the hospitals that collaborate with us as collection centers.
To date, cord blood donations from more than 60,000 mothers have been made to the NYBC's National Cord Blood Program. Our donors come from all ethnic backgrounds. For example, approximately 20% of the donors are African-American (having at least one African-American parent). Asians represent approximately 8% of all donors and multi-race donors make up 13-15%. Donors of Hispanic ancestry represent 21%. This ethnic diversity has made it possible for patients of different ethnic backgrounds to find suitable matches, thereby improving access to hematopoietic transplantation. [See: See: Why is cord blood important for ethnic minorities?].
Cord blood from unrelated donors has been used as an alternative to bone marrow or mobilized stem cells as a source of hematopoietic stem cells for more than 20 years. There have been more than 35,000 cord blood transplants performed worldwide so far. In the United States, more than one half of all stem cell transplants from unrelated donors in children now use cord blood. In Japan, this is true for adults as well. Our program has provided over 5,300 cord blood units for transplantation, thus far (more than one seventh of all units transplanted from unrelated donors). Most patients were affected by leukemia, lymphoma, severe aplastic anemia, other lethal diseases of the blood or immune system or certain inherited metabolic diseases [See: Patients & Outcomes for a listing of all diseases treated thus far].
When considering a transplant, the transplant physician is responsible for assessing whether his/her patient needs a hematopoietic stem cell transplant and if so, for choosing the most appropriate source of those stem cellscord blood, bone marrow or mobilized stem cells. When matched cord blood units from our bank are being considered for a transplant, we work with the transplant physician to help select the most appropriate unit (based, in part, on what we have learned from the reports transplant centers send to us on their patients who have already received cord blood units from our Program). The physician, however, makes the final decision with the patient or, in the case of a minor, with the family.
The National Cord Blood Program also provides cord blood units for research: units that will not be used for transplantation are made available to many scientists and institutions for important basic research on cord blood stem and immune cells. For any questions or additional information, please contact us at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.
This Website attempts to provide accurate and timely information about cord blood transplants and public donations, as well as about technical aspects of our Program's operations. Patients and families considering a possible transplant must be told that other than cord blood units licensed by FDA, all units must be distributed as investigational products. They can read about the potential advantages and disadvantages of cord blood transplantation in Cord Blood Q&A and in a Comparison between Bone Marrow & Cord Blood. Encouraging Patient Stories can be found in the Patients & Outcomes section. Website visitors can find out how the NCBP works in Program Overview. More technical information about cord blood collection and processing can be found in NCBP at Work.
Expectant parents can get useful information about donation from Cord Blood Donation. You can keep current with News & Articles. You can use the new SiteMap to help navigate the site.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
An imam at the Al Aqsa Mosque atop Jerusalem's Temple Mount has publicly urged the armies of the Arab world to invade Israel thus fulfill the great Muslim longing of destroying the hated "Zionist entity."
In a televised sermon from Milan, Italy that was broadcast by Al Jazeera, Imam Raed Al-Daan said that Muslims everywhere are beginning to realize that "the Jewish state will vanish, and that the morning sun will rise on Palestine."
Al-Daan went on to state that he and the other clerics who serve on the Temple Mount as part of the Palestinian Authority-appointed Islamic Trust (Waqf) "await the legions of the conquerors. We await the armies from Tunisia, from Jordan, from Egypt, from Iraq, from the Maghreb (Morocco and Algeria), and from the Hijaz (Saudi Arabia)."
To clarify that he was not speaking of a Palestinian state confined to the so-called "West Bank," Al-Daan repeatedly referred to Muslims shouting victory cries from Israeli cities such as Jaffa, Haifa, Beit Shean, Lod and Ramle.
Translation of the televised sermon was provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

We've often asked whether the Democrats are paying a political price for their obstructionism, or for the outrageous and hateful face they so often present to the voters. This poll, which we missed when it was reported on yesterday, suggests that it may be starting to happen:
A poll on the political mood in the United States conducted by the Democratic Party has alarmed the party at its own loss of popularity.
Conducted by the party-affiliated Democracy Corps, the poll indicated 43 percent of voters favored the Republican Party, while 38 percent had positive feelings about Democrats.
"Republicans weakened in this poll … but it shows Democrats weakening more," said Stanley Greenberg, who served as President Clinton's pollster.
It is noteworthy that this was a "likely voter" poll.

How to Use
Map 1: Indian Territory.
Note 1: Figures for the Seminole Nation are not available, but this tribe is known to have held slaves.
Native American tribes were, and continue to be, recognized as sovereign nations by the federal government. What is marked on maps as the Indian Territory was not an official territory of the United States such as Dakota Territory or Colorado Territory.
1. Locate a map of the United States. How many miles is it from Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) to Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia? As the Civil War began, what methods did people in the territory have to communicate with the two capitals? How closely connected to the East do you think people in the Indian Territory felt?
2. Examine Map 1. Make note of the states surrounding the Indian Territory. Which state/states were slaveholding? Which state/states were free?
3. Now examine Table 1. Write on Map 1 the slave population of each Native American tribe.
4. Which of the Five Civilized Tribes would seem most likely to be sympathetic to the Confederacy? Why? Be sure to consider both location and lifestyle. Which would be least sympathetic? Why?
Table 1 is compiled from U.S. Bureau of the Census, Eighth Annual Census (1860), National Archives; Annie Heloise Able, The American Indian as a Slaveholder and Secessionist (Lincoln, Neb.: University of Nebraska Press, 1992) 211; R. Haliburton, Red Over Black: Black Slavery Among the Cherokee Indians (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1977) 117.
* The map on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Map 1, but be aware that the file may take as much as 25 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Remember the electricity that shot through school when word went around that there was going to be a schoolyard rumble?
Remember the rollercoasters of emotions, the whispers of gossip, the crying because your best friend betrayed you, the molehills made into mountains?
If life is just like high school, then the Internet might be an age group lower. Much of our digital world means never having to leave junior high school behind.
Sure, the Web has plenty of mature, resourceful people who create clever online projects or crowdsource solutions to global problems. But some experts also believe it perpetuates childhood.
Janet Sternberg, a communications professor at Fordham University in New York who's written a great deal about online civility, sees a reverse of a pattern created by television. If, as cultural critic Neil Postman asserted, TV ended childhood -- the medium provided an impetus for young people to act older, which created hand-wringing about generations growing up too quickly -- the Internet has done the opposite, she says.
"The Internet and digital media have produced this 'Peter Pan effect' where we never grow up, we're perpetual children, we never have to be responsible for anything -- we keep this juvenile mentality," she says.
Indeed, the Web has a clique for every would-be adolescent -- class clowns, bullies, drama queens and fanboys. (There's plenty of room for geeks and nerds, too.) They all get to indulge in their petty squabbles, and few of them show signs of growing up.
Looking for a fight on the playground blacktop? Check out Facebook and Twitter, where complete strangers assault each other with name calling. Want to be part of the popular crowd? Try YouTube, full of instant celebrities who have done little except mix Diet Coke and Mentos in their mouths.
Meanwhile, mainstream news and culture sites indulge in instant-gratification come-ons, from car-crash videos to galleries of kittens and puppies.
Of course, if you don't like any of it, you're free to post in the comments, where the level of discourse is somewhere between "This sucks" and "You suck."
It's all instantaneous, thanks to the always-on aspect of digital media -- available at the swipe of a smartphone. Who needs to think?
"We say whatever's on our mind," says Sternberg. "Restraint is one of the signs of adulthood, and our whole culture is celebrating a lack of restraint."
A squirt of dopamine, a shot of attention
Of course, why wouldn't it?
It's really two distinct if not unrelated issues. On the one hand, there's the concept of immediate satisfaction. It's in the very core of our lizard brains, the cries of "Act now!" and "Just do it," the things that give us a squirt of dopamine and keep us coming back again and again. Marketers and media people have always known its value, and the Internet -- in the form of catchy headlines and eye-grabbing, multi-frame galleries -- does this very well.
And then there's the stuff that appeals to us on a gut level, whether it's graphic images, blunt language or a longing for attention. Perversely, it sometimes creates an antagonistic response: A recent Pew survey noted that a distinguishing aspect of Twitter chatter is its "overall negativity."
"Twitter users are not representative of the public," the survey hastened to add. But Twitter users' voices are often picked up by the wider media, which makes the wisecracks and incivility conveyed on the service even more attractive to attention-getters. And around and around we go.
Besides, attention is a good thing, right? We all want to be popular, enjoy a taste of celebrity. Digital life celebrates viral videos and Facebook memes. Does it matter what you said? No -- what matters is how many people hear you say it.
It all contributes to a potent mix, says Susan Douglas, a communications professor at the University of Michigan.
"It's this weird moment," she says, reeling off such facets as the rise of youth culture, the spread of celebrities oriented to youth, politically oriented dismissals of fact and the 140-character Twitter culture. With "a rise of incivility that is completely accepted and enabled by social media, you have some kind of a brew here."
However, it's a brew that gets eyeballs -- and that's what matters to many websites, says Fairfield University communications professor Michael Serazio.
"What do audiences reward?" he asks, observing that an 8,000-word investigative piece will usually lose out to a zingy tweet. As the media environment gets faster and faster -- now we also have 6-second Vines -- nobody wants to be the guy who passes around articles that get dismissed by commenters with "tl;dr" (too long; didn't read).
So we end up back in the schoolyard. Says Serazio, "We reward the emotional over the rational."
Figuring things out
Sure, you've probably heard some of these complaints before, the grousing of elders and eggheads about those darn kids and their clothes and their hair and their newfangled technology.
Critics deplored newspaper tabloids, which catered to first-generation immigrants learning the language and time-pressed laborers grabbing a few minutes to read lurid headlines on the train. In the early '60s, FCC Chairman Newton Minow famously called television "a vast wasteland," echoing the thoughts of many who had hoped that the medium would bring about a golden age of entertainment and enlightenment -- not "The Real McCoys" and "Clutch Cargo."
It's always something, the elitists charge.
Still, like television in the 500-channel era, the Internet is many things, many of them worthwhile. Along with the spitball-blowers and OMG hyperventilators, there are smart sites that use smart prose and smart graphics (and are quite capable of satirizing everybody else). They're the kids who are actually trying to learn something -- respect for others, at the very least.
OK, so they can sometimes be goody-two-shoes. And their voices often get drowned out by the unruly din of the digital masses. Does that mean they should end up at wrong end of wedgies?
Class? Class? Will class ever come to order?
Rachel Weingarten, a marketing strategist, sees some signs that the Internet is wising up a little.
Some of her clients, she says, are trying to use thoughtful whispers rather than sledgehammer amplification, talking up to customers rather than talking at them.
The reverse didn't work, she says. One well-known candy gave its front page over to a Twitter feed, inviting "every 14-year-old idiot on Earth" to talk smack about the brand. Now, "the boutique brands are saying, help us find our niche, and help us keep connected," she says. "People no longer want the big campaign. People now want you to help figure out who they are again."
In other words, they're growing up.
Michigan's Douglas also credits some of the Internet's noise to uncertainty. Web users are still figuring out whom to trust, how to communicate, what this new (and it IS still new) technology can do. They're like a bunch of kids getting their first surge of hormones. They won't always be bouncing off the walls.
But, in the meantime, it's going to take some work to leave the schoolyard. Sternberg, for one, isn't optimistic. She mentions Freud and his "Civilization and Its Discontents," which argues that civilization relies on restraint of childish behavior. The Internet, of course, is just a reflection of our larger civilization -- and she doesn't like what she sees.
"The idea that being an adult is prized in our culture -- that idea is evaporating," she says. "It's really uncool."


text: Jill Falls' cat Monkey doesn't look or act sick.But the beautiful tortoise-shell-colored cat needed to have 15 of her teeth extracted when she was just 2 years old. Her brother Peanut had it even worse; 20 of his teeth were pulled about the same time. All five of Mrs. Falls' cats have had dental problems since they were young, and lots of their teeth have been removed. "The problems were not the normal tartar and gingivitis issues, but other stuff like lesions below the gums," said the Sylvania Township resident. The American Veterinary Dental Society reports that 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age 3. Disease often is indicated by bad breath, a change in eating or chewing habits, pawing at the face and mouth, and depression. Veterinarians note that 65 percent of dogs with stage one periodontal disease often go untreated; that means a relatively simple problem can become much more significant. Routine dental care contributes to overall well-being and can help maintain a pet's good health well into its older years, said Dr. Jen Tate at SylvaniaVET, which treats Mrs. Falls' cats and her two dogs. "Pet owners don't think to check their pets' mouths on a routine basis," Dr. Tate said. "That's why the annual exam at the vet is so important. Many times owners don't have any idea that their pet is suffering from dental disease." The Sylvania veterinarian routinely performs full-mouth X-rays on dogs and cats. "So many problems are beneath the gum line," Dr. Tate said. Brushing a pet's teeth at home helps greatly in reducing dental disease, she said. "We can show you how to do it gradually to get your pet used to it," she said. "It's also good to get a visual for how you should be doing it." The thinking used to be that pets should eat only dry food, which would help prevent dental disease. "But that's really not the case in the below-the-gum-line diseases," Dr. Tate said. "And there are benefits to the urinary tract and kidneys from eating canned food. So we suggest a mix of canned and kibble." Mrs. Falls' youngest cats, Peanut and Monkey, now 4 years old, were born to Misty, a stray that Mrs. Falls took in. She said Dr. Tate had told her that their dental problems could be hereditary or because their mother did not get good nutrition while pregnant. "When Misty needed to have six teeth extracted [and already had three missing], I didn't think that was unusual," Mrs. Falls said. "She had been outside possibly all her life, eating whatever she could find and getting no vet care. But when her kittens needed to have 15 and 20 teeth extracted when they were 2 years old, that was a shock. Again, it was probably these lesions that are attacking the enamel." The vet performs dental checkups on Mrs. Falls' cats at least annually. "So these extractions are not due to neglect, with tartar and plaque leading to gingivitis," she said. "These extractions are almost all due to resorption lesions [similar to a cavity] that occur below the gum line." These lesions are the most common reason for tooth-loss in cats. The only visual indication is redness of the gums; an X-ray reveals problems below the gum line. One of Mrs. Falls' cats, 10-year-old CC, has had seven dental cleanings, three of which included tooth extractions. "After CC's first couple of dentals where she had these lesions, we don't take any chances," she said. "During her annual exam, if she has any redness of the gum or tartar buildup, she gets a dental." Monkey and Peanut have no difficulty eating. Monkey still has a few teeth, while Peanut has even fewer. "It took him a little while to learn how to eat, and I gave him mostly canned food at first, but eventually he was able to eat dry also," Mrs. Falls said. "They still get both dry and canned, and the only 'special' diet that I went and looked for is dry food that comes in really small pieces." CC and Chloe, another of Mrs. Falls' cats, have been on dry dental food, Hill's T/D, since CC started having problems. "It probably doesn't really help with resorptive lesions, but we figured it couldn't hurt," she said. "If it helps prevent tartar, it still lessens the need for a dental." The other three cats like the expensive prescription food more than their other food, which is still pricey, but not quite so much. So all three, including Monkey and Peanut, also get some dental kibble as well. Although she doesn't brush her cats' teeth, she does brush both of her dogs' teeth on occasion, "but not nearly as often as I should, so they need dentals about every other year," she said. The Ohio State University college of veterinary medicine's Community Practice, which offers dental care at the Columbus campus, advises that the first sign of dental disease often is bad breath, redness along the gum line, tartar, or calculus. The pet may be eating more slowly or carefully than before. Periodontal disease is the most common ailment among small animals, according to OSU. This begins when bacteria accumulates at the gum line around the tooth. Unless brushed away daily, these bacteria can cause inflammation, bleeding, and if untreated, can cause tooth and/or bone loss, according to the vet school. The college also performs restorative and prosthodontics work such as crown therapy -- three-quarters and full coverage -- enamel defect and caries restoration, and dentinal bonding. It also offers orthodontics including bite evaluation, orthodontic appliances, and correction of malocclusions, which is the misalignment of teeth. Like people, dogs and cats can suffer from TMJ disease. Temporomandibular joint disorder is a term covering acute or chronic pain, especially in the muscles of mastication and/or inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the lower jawbone to the skull. Dogs and cats that see vets at OSU are also treated for myositis, or muscle inflammation, stomatitis, or oral inflammation, and malocclusion-treatment planning. Mrs. Falls has found the most important thing she can do for her pets is to have the vet see them every year, even if they don't appear to be sick. "And have the dental procedure if it is recommended," she said. "Do not let tartar build up and cause rotting teeth and gingivitis. Listen to your vet, and get a second opinion if you have doubts."

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel and wash the potatoes and slice them really thinly using a plastic mandoline.
Generously butter a 12-inch ovenproof baking or gratin dish (about 2 1/2 to 3-quarts).
In a small saucepan, bring the half-and-half, garlic cloves and herbes de Provence to a simmer. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Arrange the potatoes in an overlapping layer on the bottom of the dish. Season the layer generously with salt and pepper. Scatter lightly with some of the grated cheese. Make another potato and cheese layer, finishing with a most generous cheesing.
Press the layers down gently. Pour the half-and-half mixture over the potato layers and fill the dish up to the top of the potatoes. Cover the dish loosely with foil so it is not touching the cheese on top and bake 30 minutes, uncover and bake another 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and nicely browned.
Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

A trainer at an LA Fitness in New Jersey who obtained his certification while in prison has been charged with harassing a female member of the club.
Andrew Reyes, of Newark, NJ, was charged on Feb. 7 with the harassment of a 24-year-old woman at an LA Fitness in Clifton, NJ, the Clifton Journal reported.
The newspaper also reported that a Clifton police detective learned during the investigation that Reyes obtained his personal trainer certification in federal prison before he was released last October. Information on why Reyes was in federal prison was not known, the newspaper reported, although Reyes had also served time in the Essex County (NJ) Jail in 1997 for making terroristic threats, resisting arrest and weapons possession.
The member had felt uncomfortable working with Reyes in the past—Reyes had texted her and propositioned her—but she did not report him until Jan. 31 after he allegedly grabbed her by the hips and kissed her on the chest following a session, the newspaper reported.
Reyes no longer works at the LA Fitness, an employee confirmed today. LA Fitness had told police that Reyes answered "no" on his job application asking if he had ever been convicted of a crime, according to the report.

Search and Rescue Dog in 9/11 Attacks Receives Stem Cell Treatment in Burke
Treatment should help alleviate aches and pains for "Red," a 12-year-old black Labrador retriever.
March 19, 2012
A decade ago, "Red," a black Labrador search and rescue dog, was deployed in the 9/11 attacks at the Pentagon in Arlington.
Many of the hundreds of search and rescue dogs sent to the Pentagon, World Trade Center in New York City and Shanksville, Pa., have since passed away.
On Monday, Red, who is now 12 years old, received a breakthrough stem cell regenerative treatment from Dr. John Herrity, D.V.M., at the Burke Animal Clinic to help ease crippling arthritis and live out her days in greater comfort.
Red was sent to the Pentagon on Sept. 16, 2001, with her owner and handler, Heather Roche of Annapolis, Md. They worked at the site for 11 days, finding remains of victims in the Pentagon's north parking-lot area. Red later helped in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
No longer able to handle tasks like climbing a two-story ladder, Red retired in July 2011. "She still wants to work, but her body just can't do it anymore," Roche said.
"This dog gave a lot to us," Herrity said Monday afternoon after performing the treatment on Red. "They do searches for remains in burned out buildings. It's the least we can do for these guys."
Procedure Lets Old Dogs Run, Play Again
The two-part procedure takes a little over an hour and normally costs $2,000 to $2,400. Two other 9/11 dogs that recently received the same stem cell therapy are able to run, climb and play again. The treatment mainly helps larger breed dogs ages 9 and older with hip and arthritis problems.
Herrity has experience with more than two-dozen stem cell operations. MediVet-America, which developed the in-clinic stem cell technology, donated the cost of the procedure and cryogenic banking of additional stem cells.
Veterinarians and researchers describe stem cell regenerative therapy as a major scientific development in the treatment of arthritis, hip dysplasia, ligament and cartilage injuries and other degenerative joint diseases in dogs, cats, horses and other animals. The technology uses an adult animals' own stem cells to heal itself.
MediVet-America's treatment involves removing fat tissue from the animal, separating the stem cells from the fat, activating and injecting the cells into the affected areas. Within four to six weeks, animals who were in severe pain with a restricted range of motion are able to walk, run and even jump again. Key to the procedure is an advanced, patented L.E.D. technology that activates millions of dormant stem cells present in fat tissue.
MediVet donated the test kit system for Red's procedure on Monday.
Two other Sept. 11 search and rescue dogs also have been treated with stem cell therapy and are doing well, according to MediVet. Bailey, a 15 year-old black Lab, underwent the procedure in November. Hoke, a 14 year-old yellow Lab, was treated in December. Both are doing well, according to their handlers, and have resumed normal activity in retirement.
"We are proud to help the unsung canine heroes of 9/11 more than a decade after the attacks," said MediVet-America CEO Jeremy Delk. "They deserve the very best stem cell therapeutic care that is now being received by animals across the nation."
Herrity said the recovery process takes about two to three months. "Our society today wants everything done yesterday," he said. "But that's not how the body works."

Rihanna may be known for her music, but now she's being celebrated for a different kind of achievement — her humanitarian work.
Harvard announced Wednesday that the singer was named the 2017 Harvard University Humanitarian of the Year.
"Rihanna has charitably built a state-of- the-art center for oncology and nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat breast cancer at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown, Barbados," said Harvard Foundation director S. Allen Counter.
Rihanna also created the Clara and Lionel Foundation Scholarship Program for students from the Caribbean who attend college in the U.S, and is a supporter of the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen Project. The project aims to provide children with access to education in more than 60 developing countries.
She'll be presented with the Peter J. Gomes Humanitarian Award on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at the Sanders Theatre.

Wangler Receives AIChE Award, Nov. 9, 1999
SOCORRO, N.M., November 5, 1999 -- Timothy Wangler, a native of Clovis who is now a junior majoring in chemical engineering at New Mexico Tech, recently was named the recipient of the research university's "Sophomore Excellence Award," an annual award presented by the local chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
Wangler, a graduate of Clovis High School, is the son of John and Nora Wangler of Clovis.
He was selected for the prestigious honor from a field of several top chemical engineering students by an interdisciplinary committee of engineering professors at New Mexico Tech.
Wangler maintained the highest scholastic standing of his class through his sophomore year and posted the highest grade point average (GPA) of any of the Tech students being considered for the AIChE award.
Wangler currently is employed as a student research assistant at New Mexico Tech, working with Tech chemical engineering professor Donald Weinkauf on a project involving polymer functionalization in a plasma environment.
During summer breaks, Wangler has worked as a student intern at Intel Corporation's plant in Rio Rancho.
He is a member of Tau Beta Pi, a national honor society for engineering students, and serves as vice president of the university's chapter of AIChE.
"I really like the individual attention students receive from the faculty here at New Mexico Tech," Wangler says. "The quality of education you get for the price you pay at this university is unbeatable."
