The last time I went to Canyon Ranch Lenox I received a 54-page guide to services in the mail, along with a four-page health & lifestyle questionnaire that closed with the question, "What life changes would you like to address while at Canyon Ranch?"
Now Canyon Ranch has gone green and emails you a confirmation letter with links to its weekly schedule of activities so you can start thinking about what you want. The program advisors already knew my goal -- to help recover from the death of my brother six months ago. So I just had a phone discussion with Lynn about what the best treatments might be for me. After looking at the Guide to Services I had come up with three that I thought might be helpful:
"Inner Journey" uses hypnosis to "gain access to the rich reservoir of memories, images and feelings within." I am drawn to this because I want to write about my brother, especially our childhood, what we did together, what we meant to each other. Sometimes I feel the horrible and sudden circumstances of his death has made it harder to access those memories. When Wesley was alive we would reminisce, and we each had part of the story. Will I be able to remember without him?
I was also drawn to "Healing Energy," a gentle therapy that "clears, aligns and balances mind and body as well as detects and corrects imbalances in the energy field." It was mentioned as being especially useful for grief and transitions. Finally, I thought Shiatsu might round out my choices.
Lynn and I discussed some of the options and agreed the first two were good choices. But she suggested I try a new 80-minute service called Restorative Massage, for people who suffer from lack of sleep, insomnia, irregular sleep patterns or a sense of fatigue upon waking. That's me. "Your therapist will use certified organic ingredients and techniques specially designed to quiet the brain." I'm getting that treatment at 8:30 at night, so afterwards I'll just roll into bed.
Lynn also suggested I schedule a follow-up appointment with the hypnotherapist, just in case I feel the need to discuss things that come up in the first session.
I told her how I usually go crazy with the lectures, and she advised I try to build in more quiet time. Since I'm just getting my body going again, she suggested some kind of stretch or yoga class, a cardio class (maybe dance?), and meditation every day.
She also pointed out that Feb. 6-10 they're celebrating Chinese New Year with special classes led by Master Yang Yang, a master of qi gong and chi-building practices. I'm interested in two of the classes -- one for sleep, stress and immune function, the other for weight management.
So I have a plan. I'm looking forward to this time at Canyon Ranch, and to letting you know how it goes with me.

He was all smiles and slick hair in his mug shot yesterday. Justin Bieber is free this morning after spending a short time behind bars following his arrest in Miami Beach.
Bieber was charged on suspicion of DUI, drag racing and resisting arrest.
Bieber's big smile in his mugshot has made many people wonder what they would do in their mugshots. Maybe "many" is not the right word since it seems FOX 29's Mike Jerrick was the only one who seemed jealous that Bieber has a mugshot.
Mike Jerrick complained on Good Day that he has never gotten a mugshot. In fact, he wanted one so badly that Good Day decided to take a bunch for him.
Let us know on Facebook what you think. Which mugshot photo was the best?
While we're at it, let's take a look at some other celebrities and their mugshots.
James Brown, the godfather of soul's mugshot was notorious for being very unkempt. He got the mugshot after being arrested in 2004 for a domestic violence charge.
Nick Nolte, famous actor, obtained his mugshot, when he was arrested for drunk driving in 2002. He had an angry scowl, matted hair, and a very outstanding Hawaiian shirt.
And, of course, who could forget Paris Hilton. She's gotten three mugshots, and she looks very good in all three.
How does Mike Jerrick compare to the Beebs or to the other celebrities on our list? Tell us on Facebook!
Wednesday (83/62): Sun/Clouds

Restaurant > DiningStories and sliders
Published 5/15/2002
Theres just something about all-night diners. Telway, on Michigan Avenue west of Livernois, is the kind of place where the waitresses had tattoos before everyone else. It feels like it would be easy to become a regular; with only seven stools, right on top of the workspace, you can hardly avoid getting involved in conversations. Nobodys in a hurry for you to leave after your 45-cent hamburger.
Telways outstanding characteristic, in a corner of the parking lot, is a life-size model of two longhorns pulling a cart piled with burned lumber. Its surrounded by a tall fence to discourage vandals; it was there when the owner, Earl, took over 50 years ago. (The tiny structure is 78 years old.) What they have to do with Telways mission is lost to history.
One night, a pale woman staggers in, leans on the counter, and asks for a grilled cheese sandwich (not on the menu). I just got out of the hospital and my stomachs still upset, she explains, and exits with a soft drink, leaning on a young boys shoulder. She didnt get out of no hospital more like a crack house, snorts a waitress. Thats either pills or heroin it aint crack, says a cook. The woman provides conversation for patrons and staff for the next little while.
Another slow evening sees a prolonged argument between Archie, a retired Chrysler worker who is one of the regulars, and the young hamburger cook: Is there really such a thing as an engine called a flathead six? Archie promises to return on Friday with proof. Throughout, the cook continues his assembly-line production, making a dozen miniature hamburgers at a time: a squiggle of ketchup and mustard, a pickle and some fried onions, thick buns and a dab of beef.
The hamburger guy says they go through 300-400 pounds of ground beef a day. A different hamburger cook (also a young guy this job demands speed and dexterity) claims they sell a thousand burgers on the 9 p.m.-6 a.m. shift on a Friday or Saturday night. Factoring in the slower shifts, that means the meat in the burgers is around a fifth or a sixth of a pound.
At four for $1.50, nobodys complaining. In fact, theyre lining up; most of Telways business is through the order window, and its rare to see that window not framing a line of faces. Its the burgers and the double-cream/double-sugar coffees that keep em coming. The reason Earl can make a profit on tabs of $1.59 and $1.43 is repeat business. Everybody knows the drill, putting in orders like two double-doubles and two triple-triples. Those would be 40 cents and 50 cents, respectively.
One of the pony-tailed waitresses, in addition to the name-and-date tattoos on her forearms, has a fresher one on the back of her neck. It looks like Chinese characters, and I ask her what it means. I cant tell you, she says.
Cant or dont want to?
A minute later, she slips me a note: It says bitch.
How am I supposed to assign stars to the Telway? What am I comparing it to the Whitney? Starbucks? In the fast-food genre, its a hell of a lot friendlier than McDonalds (Can I help whos next? from a sullen teenager), and some of the food is better.
The fish and chicken sandwiches are crispier than McDonalds and only 95 cents. The 55-cent fries arent quite as crisp as McDonalds, but theyre pretty good, and Telway serves onion rings too. The hillbilly chili is the thin kind, more of a soup and medium-mild. (And it does taste like the kind I grew up on in West Virginia.) Theres a large array of doughnuts and cinnamon rolls, also big sellers. I didnt have the nerve to try the egg or tuna salads.
My friend and I had a leisurely meal, all we could eat three sandwiches, chili, onion rings, two sweet buns, coffee, two juices for $7.79. Nobody was in a hurry to scoot us out the door.

— PLUM ISLAND -- The Wilkinson Bridge that connects Plum Island to Plum Island Turnpike has reopened after being stuck in theopen position for more than an hour.
The problem with the bridge was a broken thruster, according to a spokesman for MassHighway. The thruster is part of the hydraulic mechanism that raises and lowers the bridge.
Traffic backed up for miles until a contractor could be called to the scene. Witnesses said the contractor ordered the bridge operator to slam the bridge shut. When it closed successfully, stranded drivers let out a cheer.

Anhidrosis in Horses
- By Stacey Oke, DVM, MSc
- Apr 19, 2010
In adult horses, anhidrosis, or "drycoat," refers to a decreased ability or loss of ability to sweat in response to appropriate stimuli. Like humans and a limited number of other mammals, members of the Equidae family, including horses and ponies, rely on sweating for regulating body temperature and avoiding hyperthermia. Horses that are unable to sweat do not perform well athletically. Because they cannot regulate their body temperatures, severe cases can result in death.
The underlying cause of anhidrosis is unclear. Since the cause of anhidrosis is unclear and there are no known risk factors for anhidrosis, it is difficult (or impossible) to predict which horses will become anhidrotic. There is no cure for anhidrosis. However, there are many medical treatments advocated for anhidrosis.

Sept. 29, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - After an epic tennis match that last over three and a half hours, junior Cristian Gonzalez Mendez won the singles trophy at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center with a 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (2) win. He becomes the first Seminole to win the singles title in the Bedford Cup, which is in its third year.
"This weekend we've had really good records in the third sets," said head coach Dwayne Hultquist. "I thought some of our best tennis came out when we were playing against each other. Cristian was able to win two matches in three sets this weekend."
Sophomore Michael Rinaldi and Gonzalez Mendez both battled hard going back and forth in the first set until the junior got a break to win 6-4. The opposite happened during the second set with both players competing back and forth until Rinaldi got a late break to win 7-5.
In the third set, Rinaldi seemed to be in complete control, up 5-2, but Gonzalez Mendez fought back by winning three straight games to make it 5-5. With the set going into a tiebreaker, the junior won three straight points and held on to the lead to win 7-2 against the physically tired Rinaldi.
"It was a very tough match against my teammate," said Gonzalez Mendez. "There were a lot of ups and downs for both of us. I knew I had to fight hard just to get a chance to come back to win the match. It is an honor to win this prestigious event and to be the first Seminole to win the singles title. Michael had such a great tournament and played real hard today.
"Cristian was down 5-2 in the third and came back to win," continued Hultquist. "It's always good to see how someone can come back and not be out of the match. This is Michael's his first match that he's lost this fall and is now 7-1. It's important that he's playing good every day and is stronger than he was last year."

It was a gentler, softer John Tortorella we saw today in advance of tonight's Sabres-Canucks game. During his fiery days with Tampa Bay and the Rangers, you never knew what outburst might come your way. He even had a classic one here in March after a Sabres-Rangers game. Remember?
Tortorella underwent plenty of scrutiny about his media dealings before he got this job and he's been better at it from all accounts. He better be with the scrutiny in a hockey market like Vancouver. The Yankees, Giants and Knicks aren't there to deflect attention.
"You might have 45 minutes of video and he's going to tell you what you've done wrong in a brutally honest way," Henrik Sedin told me today. "But two minutes afterward, you might have done something well in a clip and he'll tell you the same thing. That's all you can ask for as a player."
Added goaltender Roberto Luongo: 'He's a very passionate intense coach and I think we needed that in this locker room. He's bringing a lot to the table and the guys are buying in."
The one thing I wanted to know was Tortorella's view of the Sedin twins now as their coach and not as an opposing coach. He even broke them up Tuesday in Philadelphia, something pretty rare in their careers.
"I have never been more impressed with two athletes," he said. "Watching them from afar, watching them play I was impressed with them. But I'm even more impressed with them as people as I get to be with them every day. And we're not even talking about what they've done for us on the ice. Just how they carry themselves."
The Canucks are 4-3 and this is game two of a seven-game road trip. A Vancouver asked Tortorella what it's like to be in Buffalo, a place he visited often as an Eastern Conference visitor but one that starts his resume as an NHL coach dating to his days as an assistant to John Muckler.
"I lived here for eight years and it's probably one of the most underrated places in the world," Tortorella said. "Everybody says 'Buffalo?' I have a tremendous amount of friends here. It was a great place to coach."
The West is 31-11-4 in games against the East this season, while the East's record is 15-26-5. The Sabres are 0-2 against the West while the Canucks are 2-1 against the East. This topic, however, was the lone one we got Tort-speak on.
"I haven't really thought too much about it quite honestly," he said. "We concentrate on how we're playing and that's been our main focus."
"It's about structure," said Sabres winger Steve Ott, who spent 10 years in Dallas. "The way they're built out there with coaches like (St. Louis' Ken) Hitchcock, (Phoenix's Dave) Tippett, teams like Chicago and LA, they're all so structurally sound that it makes it harder to play. When you look at the East, the East isn't as structured. It's just not coaches wise. It was a big change I noticed coming from the West. You really had to adapt in the West."
As for Tortorella's impact on Vancouver, Ott said, "A coach influences players but the same dynamics of their team are there. The Sedins are such world-class players. It doesn't matter who is coaching them. They're always the Sedins."
Click below to hear Tortorella's session with the media today, including more thoughts on the Sedins and dealing with the huge travel burden the Canucks face.

Renaming the portion of U.S. 62 that leads to the Fort Gibson National Cemetery is a great way to honor those who were willing to fight for all of us.
The Fort Gibson Board of Trustees recently voted to ask the state Legislature to rename Teddy Lehman Expressway to Veteran's Memorial Highway.
The request was added to a transportation bill that is making its way through the state Legislature.
That part of U.S. 62 is named for Teddy Lehman, a former football star who played for the University of Oklahoma Sooners and the Detroit Lions.
Lehman, one of the more prominent former citizens of Fort Gibson, is in favor of the name change.
The proposed change to Veteran's Memorial Highway is a positive move for all involved.
For a town to even have a national cemetery is a big deal.
There are 131 national cemeteries in 39 states — only two in Oklahoma.
Fort Gibson's cemetery has two Medal of Honor Recipients — Pfc. John N. Reese Jr., (World War II) and 1st Lt. Jack C. Montgomery, (World War II).
Changing the name of the highway will further honor those men and women to which we owe our very freedom.
We can't do enough to highlight their service to our country.

ROCK CREEK — Betty R. Vanek, age 88, went home to be with her eternal family Friday, Jan. 4, 2013. She left with her family by her side in her home knowing how much she was loved and cherished.
Born March 21, 1924, in Manamanee Falls, Wis., she was a daughter to the late John and Barbara (Rittman) Wondracek. Their large family later moved to Ohio. On Feb. 16, 1946, she married Ronald L. Vanek in Cleveland. On August 23, 1957, when their son was 17 days old, the family moved to Rock Creek to the home they had built together.
They had four children: son, Ronald J. (Sandy) Vanek of Rock Creek, daughters, Loraine Howard of Austinburg, Robin Vanek of Geneva and Melissa Fogarty of Rock Creek; grandchildren, respectively, Erica (Eric) Hudson, Ronald L. Vanek, Penny (Zack) Beesler, Tiffany and Travis Vanek, Alyssa and James Fogarty and Bailey Barret; and great-granddaughters, Abigail and Emily Beesler. There are also several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in passing by her husband, Ronald on April 27,1989; also her brothers John, Frank and George; and sisters, Margaret, Francis, Hilda, Helen and Anne (and their spouses).
She enjoyed family gatherings, bus tours with friends, she loved animals, leaving behind two cats, "Furby and Sassy". But more than anything, she enjoyed watching her family grow and knowing how much we all loved her.
Before she quit working permanently to be with her family, she had been employed by White Motors, Halle Brothers and Gordon Grill in Cleveland. She also worked at the Willows Inn and the Clay Street Inn after moving to Rock Creek. But above all, she was a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to all of us and for this we are grateful and we will miss her, but we will never forget her.
A Memorial Service will be held 1 p.m. for friends and family on Saturday Jan. 12th, at the Sacred Heart Church, 3409 N. Main St. (Rt. 45), Rock Creek, Ohio.
The Jefferson Home of FLEMING & BILLMAN FUNERAL DIRECTORS, INC., 49 W. Jefferson St., Jefferson, is handling arrangements. Guest book and obituary at fleming-billman.com and starbeacon.com.

Roff —
Asher managed to keep this game close early on and the Lady Indians were even at 10-all, when the explosion occurred.
Stonewall finished out the opening period with three consecutive 3-point baskets, then scored another at the outset of the second period to make it a 24-10 lead in the early seconds of the second period.
Stonewall's quickness and outside pressure on Asher's 3-point shooters kept the Indians in a hole most of the game.
SHS 3-pointers by Kimberly Helms, Haley Snell and Tana Davis to end the first period, followed by another trey by Snell early in the second, were too much for Asher, which trailed by 11 at the half, 31-20.
For the night, Stonewall would hit six of its seven 3-point attempts, though the Lady Longhorns stopped shooting them in the third period.
By the end of three, the Lady Longhorns were in command, 42-29.
Stonewall coach Brian Davis also knew he had several of his taller players in foul trouble, so, to play it safe, he ordered his team into a delay game in the fourth period, holding Asher scoreless while scoring just three points itself for a 45-29 decision in the girls championship game of the 2012 Pontotoc Conference Tournament.
Speaking of the quiet final period, Davis said it would have been "their (Asher's) big against our smalls."
Stonewall tried to lure Asher by pulling its zone out, but when gaps opened near the basket, the Lady Longhorns had trouble taking advantage at times.
Asher had little choice but to remain in its zone defense against the much quicker Stonewall, but the Lady Indians were only able to get off three shots from the field in the final eight minutes.
Asher did have another good night from the foul line, hitting 11-of-14 shots. Stonewall hit four of its nine foul shots for 44 percent. From the field, Stonewall hit 45 percent of its 38 shots, while Asher was connecting on eight of its 19 field goals for 42 percent.
Stonewall won for the eighth time in nine games this season.

History and diagnostic findings
The owners had adopted Tiger as an orphaned kitten. She was their only pet and was housed exclusively indoors. The owners
described Tiger as "kind of a scaredy-cat"—she was easily startled by sounds and hid whenever guests were present in the home.
Tiger was at home alone much of the time because the owners, a husband and wife (no one else lived in the home), were professionals
who worked long, irregular hours. They reported no recent changes in the home, although they mentioned that they had observed
Tiger "fighting" with an outdoor cat through a window.
Physical examination findings included her being overweight (9.9 lb [4.5 kg]; a body condition score of 4/5), and barbering
of the caudal abdomen and proximal inner thighs. Urinalysis of urine obtained by cystocentesis revealed too-numerous-to-count
red blood cells, 3+ protein, and a pH of 7.6, but no white blood cells or crystals. The rather high pH in the absence of evidence
of a common alternative cause (bacterial urinary tract infection, vomiting, alkalinizing diet), hematuria, and proteinuria
in the absence of inflammatory infiltrate is consistent with stress-associated hyperventilation, as well as bladder vasodilatation
and vascular leakage.1 Results of imaging of the urinary tract were unremarkable.
Tentative diagnosis and treatment
Because of the reported chronicity of the lower urinary tract signs, the history of adverse early life experience, and the
presence of anxious behavior and multiple organ system involvement (upper gastrointestinal, endocrine [excess body weight],
and dermatologic), Pandora syndrome was provisionally diagnosed. The diagnosis was explained to the owners as a chronic medical
condition that, somewhat like migraines in people, can be managed but not cured.
Initial treatment included in-hospital administration of buprenorphine at a dosage of 15 µg/kg given intramuscularly. The
owners were then instructed to give buprenorphine at 15 µg/kg orally three times daily for five days. And a trained technician
conducted an extended environmental interview with the owners, including a review of resources available to the cat. The review
revealed that a scented clay litter was used in the litter box, which was in the basement, and that no climbing structures
or toys were present in the home.
Based on these findings, the goals of environmental enrichment included provision of
An additional litter box—containing unscented, clumping litter—placed in another part of the house
A climbing structure, preferably placed so Tiger could observe from an elevated position the area in which the outside cat
had been seen
A food puzzle to provide an intrinsically motivating resource toy that also might reduce the frequency of food regurgitation.
After discussing the plan with the owners, we decided to implement the new litter box first, followed by the climbing structure,
and then the food puzzle. We gave the owners explicit instructions about presentation of each of the three enrichments, and
we told them that the technician would follow up to help guide them through the changes.

This article describes how to add encryption and digital signatures to the Thunderbird, Kmail, and Evolution mail clients.
Spoofers have an easier time on the Internet than anywhere else. There's no need to forge a signature to dispatch mail under someone else's name; all you need is a spoofed entry in the From header. The mail protocol does not provide any kind of protection against this kind of manipulation. If you want the people you write to to be able to rely on the authenticity of your messages, you should get into the habit of signing your email messages. The same thing applies to encryption: or would you really want a curious mail server admin reading your letters? Anyone with access to one of the computers that relays mail between your outbox and the destination could theoretically read your messages. GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) [1] is a program that protects your messages against monitoring and manipulation. GnuPG is a cryptographic system that uses asymmetric keys. For the user, this means having two keys, a private key and a public key, which are generated as a key pair. The passwordprotected private key is kept secret.

A busy social calendar

Wednesday, April 25, 2012.
The rain cleared yesterday and it was occasionally sunny and mainly overcast with temperatures in the low 50s.
A busy social calendar.
Yesterday at noon at "21," the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guard and Airmen's Club held its fourth annual luncheon and honored
Somers Farkas
The Club which was founded in 1919 is the only private organization in the New York area which provides accommodations at subsidized rates, as well as club-type facilities for servicemen and servicewomen, military retires and veterans and their families visiting the city.
The club is not affiliated with the US federal government, the state or the city. It is private and not–for profit.
Ivan Obolensky
, a nephew of the late
Vincent Astor
, and son of
Alice Astor
Serge Obolensky
, is a long time supporter and the club's CEO, and has worked hard to maintain its founding credo: "Service To Those Who Have Served Our Country." To make a tax-deductible donation,

The Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guard and Airmen's Club.
Last night at Cipriani 42nd Street,
City Harvest held its annual
Evening of Practical Magic
. This is one of the great charities of New York. You've read about it here before because this is a matter that affects every single individual who lives in New York.
This year City Harvest will rescue and deliver
33 million
(!!) pounds of food made available to hundreds of thousands of the nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers who are living in poverty and struggling to pay for the basic necessities such as rent and medical care while putting food on their tables. What they accomplish is miraculous. Barclays and the generosity of the City Harvest Board of Directors cover the expense of the evening so that all monies donated go directly to support the efforts to feed hungry New Yorkers.
This year's dinner was chaired by
Arthur Backal
. The event co-chairs were
Nina Rennert Davidson and Mitchell Davidson, Judy and Kim Davis, Lise and Michael Evans, Stacy and Joel Hock, Carola and Robert Jain, Pamela and Andrew Kaufmann, Heather and Steve Mnuchin
, and
Sandra and Eric Ripert

up at the St. Regis,
HRH Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex
was attending the screening and reception of
Films Without Borders,
a showing of outstanding work by young filmmakers. The prince's visit to New York will also include tonight's Versailles Foundation black tie dinner at the Pierre where he will speak on Royal history. I've been told that his subject will be
Henry VIII
Also last night: Sir John Soane's Museum Foundation honored Michael Bruno.
Also last night, speaking of brainy and all that,
over at the Plaza, Barnard College was hosting its annual Barnard Gala and Gala Nights, to benefit the College's financial aid program. Do you think there were a lot of smart and successful college girls attending?
There were. Such as: author
Anna Quindlen
('74) (a frequent reader of the NYSD I've been told – are you reading Anna?), the very distinguished
Ellen Futter
('71) now president of the American Museum of Natural History, former President of Barnard, and one of those remarkably impressive leaders in New York today (I'd vote for her for Mayor, Senator, Governor, President, anything ... because she
Cheryl Milstein
('82) and Mr. Milstein; the inimitable and also distinguished
Erica Jong
('63) (same year as
Martha Stewart
I believe);
Attoosa Rubenstein
Helen Kaplan
Liz Neumark
Cyndi Stivers
('78), Gala Nights Chair
Caroline Bliss Spencer
('09), Gala Nights committee member
Ashley Walker Bush
Dina DeLuca Chartouni
Jolyne Caruso-FitzGerald
Patricia Harrigan Nadosy.
They honored
Patricia Harrigan Nadosy
('68) and
Elizabeth S. Boylan
Get this:
Ms. Nadosy majored in French, and then went on to get an MBA from Columbia Business and then had a decade and a half at JP Morgan as an FX trader and now has her own FX options consulting firm, Optfor, Inc, with clients like Morgan, Chase, the FINEX and CRT.
But wait .... Then she went back to Barnard for postbaccalaureate studies in biology to prepare to enter the CUNY plant sciences PhD program in 1992. She received her PhD in Botany in 2002. She is now on the Board of Trustees of Barnard (are you surprised?).
I was going to say that she sounds like someone I wouldn't even know how to have a conversation with until I heard she's also on the board of the Carl Schurz Park Conservancy – the pictures of which I often take and include on the Diary,
she is a member of the gardening committee and also tends gardens in Carl Schurz Park. I frequently thank these garden tenders for their work when I walk the dogs and so for all I know, I
had a conversation with her. She also has three daughters and two grandchildren. And she does lots of other things in her 98 hour day.
Elizabeth Boylan is the director of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's program
on STEM Higher Education. Mr. Sloan, one of the founders of General Motors (back when it mattered) is now forgotten but his philanthropy remains intact.
Elizabeth Boylan.
Ms. Boylan also served as provost and dean of the faculty at Barnard (1995-2011), was an associate provost for academic planning and programs at Queens College/CUNY, a tenured member of the biology faculty there. She is a specialist in developmental biology and hormonal carcinogenesis. She earned a PhD in zoology from Cornell, a bachelor's degree in biological science from Wellesley, was a postdoctoral fellow in biochemistry and oncology at the University of Rochester and has been awarded a US patent and has been a consultant and grant reviewer for the National Cancer Institute, the National Science Foundation and the American Cancer Society. I don't think she tends garden at Carl Schurz Park, however, but you never know with these girls.
Does awe adequately express your reaction to all this? Not for me, it doesn't. I realized that this CV of these women is a bit long in the tooth diary-wise, but I thought it was time we took a good hard look at what some of these girls are doing, can do and imagine what they can do in this harrowing world of ours. Ellen Futter is my heroine in this group, because I know her, but I think we have amongst these ladies several potential world leaders, community, municipal, state and federal leaders in a world suffering from a paucity of it.
I didn't go to the Barnard dinner but I hear that had a few laughs too. This is New York.

Ratings & Reviews
Jaybird Freedom Sprint = Awesome!
I had not purchased bluetooth headphone prior to this pair and I was somewhat skeptical based on the firsthand experiences of frie I had not purchased bluetooth headphone prior to this pair and I was somewhat skeptical based on the firsthand experiences of friends in the past and reviews I had read. I decided to take a gamble knowing that I had an extremely lenient return policy at my disposal if they didn't work out. I have used them twice since picking them up, once for music while running outdoors and once for a baseball game while on a treadmill.
Some tidbits that ran contrary to some of the reviews and made me fall in love with these headphones:
-I was listening to the baseball game over WiFi and left the room for a moment forgetting that my phone wasn't in my pocket. I walked through a set of glass doors about 6 feet from my phone, then another set about 15-20 feet from there before I had the slightest audio hiccup to remind me that my headphones weren't physically connected to my phone (also a potential downfall).
-I listened to an entire baseball game (a little over 3 hours) without the battery dying.
-The treadmill that I was using had a ledge to my left, but within arms reach and I had no trouble with connectivity.
The general things that I liked that weren't specific to any reviews:
-The over-the-ear hooks. I really prefer the hooks.
-The inserts are soft enough that there was no "ear fatigue."
-When listening to rap, the bass sounded great!!
-The carrying case is very solid and a nice addition.
The only thing that I don't like:
-When hanging behind my head the rubber cable sticks to the back of my neck when I sweat a lot (around the second hour of my run). Easily solved by switching the cable to hang in front... …

Best Sounding Wireless In-Ear Headphones I've tried....
I have tried some Bluetooth headphones/earphones in the past and none really stood out. They were either bad audio quality, heavy I have tried some Bluetooth headphones/earphones in the past and none really stood out. They were either bad audio quality, heavy, or uncomfortable. After reading some reviews I decided to give these Freedom Sprints a try and I could honestly say they are by far the best BLUETOOTH (I repeat Bluetooth!) earphones I have owned. The sound quality is crisp without any distortion. It takes a bit of trial and error for comfort but once you find the proper the combination of ear cushion and ear tip with the proper angle they are great. Haven't had any discomfort once I found mine and they have never fallen out on their own. I do not know if it was their intent when designing the product, but these earphones are pretty good at noise cancelling. Might be something to note if you are an outdoor runner and have to be more aware of your surroundings. Doesn't bother me I actually like the feature, but then again I am not a hardcore runner I only do it to get some cardio in.
I was expecting to lose some functionality once I paired with my HTC One, but it actually worked great. Unlike my Beats headphones which only play and pause, all the features so far seem to work seamlessly between my Apple and Android products.
Things I do dislike about them.... 1. Battery life is about 3 hours as stated, wish it was longer. So if you are looking for a longer lasting charge I suggest you opt for the X Premiums which are 8 hours. There are a few times where they have died on me and left with nothing. 2. Microphone for telephones calls could be better. The mic is located in the right ear-piece. I have found myself numerous times taking out the ear piece, bringing it closer to my mouth so that the person on the other end could hear me more clearly. …

At Last, Rational Plans to Assess & Stabilize the Economy
by The Opportunity Agenda, Wed Jun 02, 2010 at 02:16:31 PM EDT
What We Can All Learn from Truckers & Poker Players
For many of us, reading the latest economic indicators has become the new masochistic pleasure in our mornings – surely other people have a tickler reminding them of the latest BLS Employment Situation Summary and the Gallup mid-month underemployment statistics? The problem with those indicators is that even when they show improvement, they still reflect a dispiriting reality. This is why a recent article about a new economic indicator holds such appeal. First, it reveals facts about our economy that are divorced from the personal impact reflected in other statistics. Second, it actually has a cautiously optimistic tale to tell.
The Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index, essentially, tracks the diesel fuel purchases of professional truckers, providing a graphic description of the movement of goods across the country. While the system has its drawbacks, it does provide some data regarding industrial production. In fact, if economists had been paying attention, it would have provided a warning about the recent downturn.
In addition to new data sources, it appears that the primary engine driving our economy has a new source of intellectual fuel. For those who have been worried about the continued instability on Wall Street, recent dips notwithstanding, there is finally a new source for traders. Apparently, the latest crop of bright young minds spinning economic gold from straw is emerging, not from ivy-covered halls of learning, but from the ranks of online poker players.
While this may seem, at first, like a reason to shift your 401K to gold bars hidden inside your mattress, it might not be as crazy as it appears at first glance. Online poker players, at least the ones who can make a living at it, have to possess many of the skills of a successful trader: calculation, the ability to quickly assess a situation, the temperament to bounce back from a loss, and a drive to make money. Apparently, for some firms, a quick hand of poker is the capstone of an interview, telling employers what they need to know about a prospect's ability to make split-second firm decisions with a lot at stake.
Although there's an argument to be made that many of our recent economic woes can be blamed on a risk-taking ethos (Derivatives 101), there's also an argument to be made in favor of a shift in focus by Wall Street. After all, our retirement savings might have an incrementally better chance of growth in the hands of a hungry young trader who's learned by eating only what she kills.
While this may seem flip, the take-aways from both of these news items is a shift in emphasis necessitated by our current economic reality. Both forecasters and moneymakers are learning to look at things from a 45-degree angle, as opposed to doing things the way they've always been done.
