FINALLY someone using their "starpower" positively! Bradie James' Foundation 56 is a charitable organization that provides health screenings; namely Mammograms for women that do not have access (for whatever reasons) to those services. James' mother inspired the creation of Foundation 56. She lost the battle to breast cancer in 2001. Last year alone the organization screened 4600 women for the cancer. Some 20 of those women were diagnosed with the disease.

To prevent shock, the body actually has a built-in mechanism to block pain. It is not until your mind realizes that you didn't die that the fight to live begins and the pain strikes and intensifies. Interestingly, most people would agree that just before the moment of impact everything appears in slow motion.
It is in that split second, we have the ability to change the outcome, stop the impact or what we refer to in tai chi as deflect and redirect. This ability to see and consciously change the outcome of a situation requires heightened awareness through disciplined practice.
This same principle applies to spiritual crashes. A spiritual crash occurs when you allow doubt, fear or worry to enter your mind. These obstacles are just as dangerous to your soul as guns, knives and the like are to your body. Perhaps they are even more tragic, because they aren't always so obvious. The pain comes on slower and by the time you realize the depth of pain and suffering, the entry wound has long disappeared. You may not even know when the damage occurred and how to heal.
The great news is that when you understand the idea of spiritual hydraulics, you can notice the crash before it occurs. Life can be looked at as a downward escalator. It is our job everyday to do our work and climb up. The moment we stop doing our work, the momentum quickly carries us to the bottom. Not doing our work is when we don't want to face the Truth and instead opt for a quick fix: drugs, alcohol, pornography, extramarital affairs, emotional eating and any other self-sabotaging behavior patterns. For that brief moment of pleasure, it is like being in the recovery room pumped with painkillers just before you open your eyes are realize how far you have to climb back up.
Start to notice that split second that happens when you feel your mind spiraling out of control. Create healthy habits. Identify your spiritual hydraulics. Find a friend, a book, a meditation or a song that will allow you to breathe and brake before you break.
Being Happy Healthy and Fit means recognizing your spiritual disasters before they occur. Deflect and redirect doubt, fear and worry. Stop the crash. Engage your Spiritual Hydraulics and keep elevating your spirit toward love, joy and peace.

Brookhaven Retreat, LLC
Treatment Facility
"Our mission at Brookhaven is underpinned by the belief that there is never addictive behavior without emotional breakage. Women need a multi track program which closes down the noises of life to hear the voice of their own interior person. Upon listening to their own inner voice with the assistance of a range of clinical professionals a clear identification process must begin. During this process the client must feel safe and aware of resources available to her in her growth and understand to remain safe she must plan for a life of emotional maintenance. A framework has to be understood and built offering freedom within that framework that allows the individualisticness of centeredness to exist and be felt within each woman. To have the most effect on a woman the program must be gender specific to create the freeness of speech that is necessary to emotional growth. All barriers that make successful treatment less effective must be removed. The needs of women - physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally - are different from those of men. Our holistic mental health and chemical dependence treatment programs specifically look at the needs of women and are constructed to be empowering and comprehensive.

"We provide the one-on-one care your loved one needs for permanent recovery. A 24 hour a day, 28 day, residential opportunity to "experience recovery" with a high level of focus and intensity at an affordable price. Men 18 and older can get honest, face core issues, get and stay clean and sober through the "experience", and change their lives in ways you could never imagine. Our clients didn't acquire this disease by reading about or hearing lectures about drinking and using. And traditional group therapy often turns into a lecture by the therapist. These and other outpatient methods sound good to non-alcoholics or-non-addicts but often don't work for alcoholics and addicts. Information alone is insufficient and sometime seems to actually make things worse. Our clients acquired the disease of alcoholism by "experiencing the disease" usually over a long period of time. The "experience of recovery" is the key to long term, permanent recovery, accomplished one day at a time. You have heard about the success that experiential therapy is enjoying. This is "experiential recovery" and it works. Call us at the number above on the right. We are real easy to talk to.

Adolescents today are continually exposed to a fast-paced world of school, home, and a variety of relationships with the expectation that they are prepared to internally motivate and self-regulate. Unfortunately, many adolescents navigate their environment through poor choices, dangerous behaviors, and negative acting out. These destructive choices sabotage their ability to achieve success while damaging family relationships. Through the integration of adventure-based activities, wilderness expeditions, experiential education, and academic coursework , adolescents are guided toward cultivating a more centralized sense of the whole self, an awareness of personal strengths and abilities, an acceptance and accountability of the full impact of their poor decisions, and the insight and tools needed to succeed through life's ongoing challenges.

This Penalolen Sauvignon Blanc demonstrates how impressive this varietal can taste if grown in the right place and guided by a talented winemaker. It is a concentrated and complex wine, owing its richness and depth to the fruit and vineyard, not outside influences such as oak. The aromas of mandarin orange and fresh cut flowers, combined with good acidity, ensure that the wine will be a classic partner with food.
This winery was founded by the superstar winemaker of Chile, Ignacio Recabarren,
and vineyard owner Ricardo Peña. The wine is estate grown and bottled with all the fruit harvested from the winery's own two vineyards. Viña Peñalolén is dedicated to producing the best expression of fruit and soil from the Maipo and Casablanca Valley's, resulting in wines of pedigree and complexity.
Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south - also why the country has remained phylloxera free....Read More About Chile

Activity Objectives:
Using paper templates, students will construct a three dimensional
model of the exterior and interior of the brain. Students will be able to:
Activity Description:
Models are a motivating, effective and fun way to improve knowledge
and promote self-directed learning. Students visualize and reflect as they
construct models. In this activity, as they "Make up Their Minds",
students will assemble a brain cap that will allow them to examine basic
brain anatomy.
As they construct the brain cap, students will use templates provided in
the teacher section of this activity along with processing out information
from Activity 1A A Piece of Your Mind: Brain Anatomy. They will color, label, and list the function of each part of the brain. Next, students will cut out and construct their brain cap.
Activity Background:
This activity is designed to appeal to multiple intelligences as basic brain
anatomy comes alive for students. This activity builds upon the work
done in Activity 1A A Piece of Your Mind: Brain Anatomy. It will appeal to kinesthetic, spatial, and logical/mathematical intelligences as students construct a model of the exterior of the brain. Students will also construct nerve pathways and a model of how the nerves join in the brainstem and travel down the spinal cord through the vertebrae.
More in depth background information on brain anatomy is provided
in Activity 1A Piece of Your Mind: Brain Anatomy, email@example.com
Activity Instructions:
1. Cut out the Brain Cap Templates and assemble according to directions
on the templates.
2. After students have completed their Brain Caps and are wearing them,
engage in a whole group review of the structure and function of the brain. Cut the paper strips provided after this section into pieces. Place them into
a container. Draw one strip at random and read the
text out loud. Students should point to the part of the brain involved.

Acid-fast stain
The acid-fast stain is a laboratory test that determines if a sample of tissue, blood, or other body substance is infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis and other illnesses.
How the test is performed
Your health care provider will collect a sample of blood, urine, stool, sputum, bone marrow, or tissue, depending on the location of the suspected infection.
The sample is then sent to a laboratory, where a small amount is placed on a glass slide, stained, and heated. The cells in the sample hold onto the dye. The lab team member washes the slide with an acid solution and applies a different stain.
The bacteria that hold onto the first dye are considered "acid-fast" because they resist the acid wash. This type of bacteria is associated with tuberculosis and other infections.
How to prepare for the test
Preparation depends on how the sample is collected. Your health care provider will tell you how to prepare.
How the test will feel
The amount of discomfort depends on how the sample is collected.
Why the test is performed
The test can tell if you are infected with mycobacteria, the organism that causes tuberculosis and related infections.
Normal Values
A normal result means no acid-fast bacteria were found on the stained sample.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may indicate an infection with an acid-fast bacteria. Acid-fast bacteria include those that cause tuberculosis, nontuberculous infections, and nocardia infections.
What the risks are
Risks depend on how the sample is collected. Ask your health provider to explain the risks and benefits of the medical procedure.

Apple's overseas hoard unfair to taxpayers
The tech giant's cash-management strategy -- and it's hardly alone in this approach -- benefits the company, not hardworking Americans.
In fact, as Citizens for Tax Justice noted, that money is out of reach of the taxing authorities of any government. As leader of the iPhone and iPad maker, Cook insists his company hasn't done anything wrong. Sadly for American taxpayers, he's right.
As the nonprofit tax organization notes on its website: "Under current law, corporations can indefinitely defer paying U.S. income taxes on their offshore profits."
Companies disclose in their financial reports how much in taxes they would have paid if there were no deferral. In Apple's case, it's $35 billion. The company notes that it does pay plenty of taxes -- about $6 billion in 2012. Still, by shifting its cash around the globe, Apple kept at least $74 billion out of the IRS' reach between 2009 and 2012, according to The New York Times.
Speaking before the U.S. Senate, Cook argued that Apple doesn't depend on "tax gimmicks."
"We pay all the taxes we owe -- every single dollar," the Los Angeles Times quoted him as saying. "We not only comply with the laws, but we comply with the spirit of the laws."
Other companies, such as Google (GOOG) and General Electric (GE), have made similar arguments. These giant corporations use strategies such as "Double Irish" and "Dutch Sandwich" that sound like they could be titles for 1940s pulp detective novels.
Cook and other business executives have long argued that the U.S. tax code is too cumbersome and that business tax rates are too high. Add another complaint to that list: unfair to hardworking, taxpaying Americans.
Jonathan Berr does not own shares of the listed stocks. Follow him on Twitter @jdberr.
If you were an Apple stockholder and found out that the company was paying more in taxes than it legally was required to, you'd not only be upset, you could hold Apple management liable for those losses.
This is why FairTax makes a boatload of sense, there's no incentive to keep the money offshore. Our government should figure out a way to encourage ALL companies to bring the money onshore, return it to the owners as dividends, pay off debt, invest in innovative new products.....
Our government has grown bloated, corrupt (IRS and AP scandals), and addicted to confiscation of wealth to redistribute to people that did nothing to earn it so that one party of another can remain in power. Look at gas taxes, the government encourages fuel efficiency until it diminishes tax revenues, then it looks at taxing us by the mile..... Time to take politics and politicians out of our tax policy, FairTax does that and has the side effect of eliminating the IRS and shrinking government while still allowing it to maintain essential services.
The revenue the government needs to provide legitimate constitutional services should be obtained primarily from a national sales tax instead of a tax on wages. All would pay based on consumption, the more you spend the more you pay. The more luxury you surround yourself with, the more you pay. Your choice. A national sales tax system would capture money spent by criminals and by illegal aliens who currently pay near zero in taxes. There would of course need to be exemptions: Cars (already have a federal excise tax) Primary Residence/Rental Properties (vacation homes would be subject to tax/rental profit would be taxed) Fresh Food (Preprocessed foods and prepared meals would be taxed – only fresh/fresh frozen/canned goods would be exempt) Insurance Premiums, Health Care & Certified Education.
> Jonathan Berr does not own shares of the listed stocks.
If he did own shares of AAPL, he would want the company to protect his money from the greedy federal government. In fact, he would be very unhappy if they over-paid their taxes.
> ...unfair to hardworking, taxpaying Americans.
Does Mr. Berr hand out 20 dollar bills to strangers on the streets without claiming taxable contributions? No?!? Then isn't that just as unfair as Apple protecting shareholders money from the IRS?
Look if people who are INCRECDIBLY STUPID try to pass laws then those laws will be used by people who are NOT incredibly stupid to their benefit.
We need a congressional hearing to figure that out ? .? . ?
Why doesn't congress have a hearing to try and determine why INCREDIBLY STUPID people are allowed to serve in to congress to pass laws.

Simple Chicken Stir-Fry
Make a hearty dinner in about 10 minutes with instant rice and a quick-cooking stir fry. Fresh ginger, hot chili flakes, and Asian fish sauce (found in most supermarkets and Asian grocery stores), add spice to chicken breasts. Try the dish with various kinds of basil to see which combination is your favorite. For a hint of anise flavor, use Thai basil; for a warm spice undertone, try cinnamon basil instead.
Recipe: Chicken and Basil Stir-Fry

Mussels in Minutes
If you have time to boil rice, you have time to prepare this beautiful bivalve dish. Steam the mussels in a large Dutch oven with a lime juice, green curry paste, and coconut milk mixture for a subtle kick. If you prefer, try the dish with shrimp.
Recipe: Thai Green Curry Mussels
Pork Pronto
Once the pork is cooked, this dish is almost done. The crumbled pork, tossed with a mint, cilantro, ginger, and red pepper mixture, is topped with a soy sauce and olive oil drizzle to add rich undertones to the zesty dish. Use prepackaged broccoli-slaw mix to shave off preparation time.

The Flyers
have announced that they have loaned defenseman
Erik Gustafsson to the Adirondack Phantoms, according
to club GM Paul Holmgren.
Gustafsson was recalled to the Flyers on Feb.
16 and joined the team in Montreal, where he appeared
in his first game of the season. He played in
the next 10 games for the Flyers, posting two
assists and averaging 18:01 of ice time, but was
scratched in the Flyers last contest vs. Buffalo.
The Kvissleby, Sweden native has played in 32
games with Adirondack this year scoring 4-14-18.
He was also selected to represent the Adirondack
Phantoms in the AHL All-Star Classic for the second
time in his career but he was replaced on the
roster by Brandon Manning due to nagging injury
In 2011-12, he split his time pretty evenly between
the Phantoms and the Flyers. He played 28 games
with Adirondack posting 1-16-17 and he played
in 30 games with Philadelphia scoring 1-4-5. He
also would score a key goal in the NHL Playoffs
in Philadelphia's series-clinching victory over
Pittsburgh on April 22, 2012.
"Gus" had an outstanding rookie season
with Adirondack posting 5 goals and 44 assists
in 2010-11 to finish second on the team in points
just one behind Denis Hamel. His 44 assists are
a single-season record for the Adirondack Phantoms.
Gustafsson is also the Adirondack Phantoms all-time
assist leader with 79. He has 91 career points
which places him second all-time in Adirondack
Phantoms' history trailing only Denis Hamel who
had 96. Jason Akeson currently has 90 career points
with the Phantoms.
The race is on to see whether Erik Gustafsson
or Jason Akeson will pass Denis Hamel for the
#1 spot in career points and also to see who will
reach the 100-point milestone first.
The Adirondack Phantoms continue their longest
road-trip of the season on Wednesday night at
the Portland Pirates and then travel to Binghamton
and Hershey for games on Friday and Sunday. Adirondack's
next home game is Sunday, March 24 at 3:00 with
a Post-Game Skate with the Phantoms Players presented
by Glens Falls Hospital. Call the Phantoms for
your Sunday Family 3-Packs at 518-480-3355.

By Jordan Smith, Hollywood Staff
As any teen knows, cliques are the bedrock of the high school social system, and the upcoming film Divergent has it's own spin on old high school cliche. In the series, a future version of Chicago is split up into five different factions, and main character Tris (Shailene Woodley) finds herself in Dauntless, the warrior class. We decided to take a look back at various cliques and groups across the cinema and television landscape, and grade the membership experience for each. Just try and hold back the vicous flashbacks to high school at bay.

There is always this nostalgic feeling I get when I run into a broken down machine some where as I walk around NYC. I either walk pass a factor and find a wrecked arcade machine and this time it was an old Pac-man machine. I do not have fond memories, but my greatest one was on Pitkin Ave. and Dumont I believe shopping with my mother in the mid 90's right by a newstand some owner had the first Street Fighter arcade mission. That is right even news stand owners had their own arcade machine. I just missed the atmosphere of actually going out to a local sandwich shop or pizza place with your friends to battle it out with many other people. I used to save so many quarters especially ones my mom never used when doing laundry just to set up for the weekend. This was the real way to social network and talk crap with the guys at the arcade while waiting our turn on the machines. I have to admit during this time it was a huge sausage fest with the ratio of females was very low. I recently just had a Birthday and I look back as I saw this machine and was just thinking, "Damn those were some good times, but what happened?" Was it really the money issues, did consoles really kill arcades or was it something else?
A while ago I brought a book called "High Scores! The Illustrated History of Electronic Games". It touched base on the rise, fall and rise again of the video game industry. There were so many memories I had as I went through this book and seeing my era of the late 80's going into the 90's. The era of fighting games in the arcade was my down fall in the form of the street fighter series. In this era arcades were still affordable and even though the massive arguments we had with our parents about going to the arcade to play games because we had consoles at home, still had a big audience. I had my fair share of wins when Marvel vs. Capcom came out, because it was a whole new ball game from there. I digress because I am moving away from my point. I will admit that it was not always friendly with certain gamers, especially with fighting games that brought on a lot of tension when some people lost. That was the atmosphere which was very lively was how we truly interacted as gamers. There was nothing like sitting down and hashing out strategies to take down opponents or discussing what is your best moves in a way to share your skills with one another. Besides it really got us gamers out of the house more and made us social creatures, contrary to what society believed.
So what did bring down the arcades? There is one main fact that consoles got popular and the arcades got more expensive. I do believe there was more too it to bring its downfall and frankly being a New Yorker Chinatown Arcade was the last great place to do your thing, even if it was a bit funky, but that's what Febreeze was for! This was the list of places to hang before consoles went online!
- Lazer Park
- Barcode
- Chinatown Arcade
- Broadway City Arcade
- Chuck E Cheese
The first time Barcode opened up it was a mixture of a night club with arcade machines…very expensive arcade machines that only 18 and up could get into, but there was a kid portion on the top floor. I honestly knew this place was going to have problems when you have a bouncer and liquor involved with an arcade. That same factor happened with Broadway City Arcade which was a lot more promising than Barcode. There is a funny story when I went to Barcode to play this Ferrari simulator game that cost five dollars to play and it had four screens to give you a nice view from front to the sides of your vehicle. Now another player was waiting for me to finish up, but I was on a winning streak and the rules state if you come in first you get a free race. I am going to let you in on something, I just spent five dollars on an arcade machine and you think I am going to lose anytime soon? You must be bugging, but after my tenth race I passed the torch because the wipeout simulator was finally free for me to play. At this point and time I went to the arcades to play more of the simulations and light games that were not being ported to the consoles, but damn did it eat up my check and too many drunk idiots started to form.
The downfall of an era? The first incident was at Barcode where a bouncer was stabbed and then a shooting happened at Broadway City Arcade a few weeks later. I at first thought that closed down the places, but come to find out from my friend Serafin Santiago Jr. who stated that the property cost was too damn high in Times Square. Lazer Park followed soon after and the only places to hit up was Chinatown fair and some Sandwich shops like Pennsylvania Ave in Brooklyn that surprised me with Initial D racing game. The fighting games were still in arcades and for the most part were still the best way to battle many people, until they finally made it online.
There was a last great hope with Chinatown fair and the urban scene hitting up this mixture of vintage games as well as updated ones. It was still affordable versus other places and it was a great chill spot that stayed open till late. It felt like the 90's all over again. It felt nostalgic and right at the time, even with the DDR gamers and their super funk, but they used air freshener to be nice! Then you have places like Dave & Busters with a high end security detail and family friendly games; meh it is good for the tourist.
In the end I never thought that Arcades would ever go, but at least there are still some good places to enjoy a nice social structure without online gaming with tournaments or hanging with friends at gaming parties. I still hear to this day from some, "Why go to an arcade when you have a game system at home?" I could say the same on people that go to clubs when they have music and liquor at home. It is all about the atmosphere and the enjoyment of face to face competition. I commend those that try to keep to the old ways of social gaming; it is something not even the online community can provide. Stay frosty gamers!

Virginia, Virgin...
This is my final 2011 sewing project! Right before we took off to visit family for Christmas, I crazily decided to whip up a skirt for myself. I used some gorgeous wool fabric I won on a blog giveaway last year and a half circle skirt pattern as my base. It's one of those projects that goes together in an afternoon (well, not counting the time you need to let the bias stretch–vitally important!)–with just one seam it's super easy! Even despite using a invisible zipper–usually the bane of my existence. I've been wearing it at least once a week since I finished it! Plus it's got a super-cute, surprise lining: bubblegum pink satin!
Pattern: Loosely based on Chie's half circle skirt pattern (just lengthened), but you could also easily draft your own. Note: the lining is cut from the exact pattern, just 1″ shorter at the hem.
Fabric: Lightweight 100% wool for the outer shell, and pink satin for the lining.
Alterations: Since I was using Chie's pattern, I opted to leave off the scalloped waistband and just drafted a straight one. I also lengthened the skirt to hit at mid-calf (more of a late 40s/50s length) rather than knee.
Techniques: Double interfaced the waistband for more stability, used a machine rolled hem for both the wool and lining.
Make Again? Yes!!! I need more of these in my closet…

EAU CLAIRE, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) Eau Claire Police said some Good Samaritans helped nab a drunk driver whose van struck-and-killed a man who was plowing snow with his A-T-V. The incident happened around 5pm yesterday.
Police said the 74-year-old victim was clearing snow from his home, and was on his street when the van hit him. Police said the 65-year-old van driver stopped to check out his own vehicle and then drove away. Several citizens followed the van until sheriff's deputies could stop vehicle on Highway 312.
The victim died at a hospital. His name was not immediately released.
The incident remains under investigation. Officials said the van driver was booked on possible charges of drunken homicide, fatal hit-and-run, and four-time drunk driving.

It has been about a half-year since Microsoft hosted the Build 2011 conference, and I thought it was a good time to see how what was introduced there may have changed the direction of development in the Microsoft developer community. Specifically, the question is how Metro on Windows 8 is influencing things and whether or not it will blaze a path with wide and rapid adoption. This is a difficult question to answer without the benefit of hindsight in any case, but impossible without assessing the landscape that Windows 8 Metro-style applications will be fitting into (and in some areas competing against).
Success for Metro-style Windows 8 applications will hinge largely on developer attitudes. If there are enough compelling applications, this will enhance the desirability of the platform for end users. There is a chicken-and-egg relationship here that depends to a large extent on the opinions of developers in the months before and after the launch of Windows 8.
Scott Golightly, a Microsoft regional director and well-known speaker in the Microsoft developer community, noted that "If there is slow uptake on Windows 8, it could deter developers from creating applications for a platform where the potential customer base is smaller than other competing platforms. I am seeing a lot of individual developers that are excited about the possibility of creating new applications, but in general, IT departments and larger groups I have talked to feel that they already have enough work to do that they will not be adopting Windows 8 the day it ships."
To echo the latter part of those sentiments, most developers I talk to have been inundated with wave after wave of new options in the ways they go about trying to accomplish their tasks. These repeated sea changes have bred a more cautious, even cynical community, even among those that have historically played the role of fanboys for Microsoft and others. I still regularly hear conversations on the value of migrating away from relatively ancient technologies such as Visual Basic 6.0 in favor of .NET, which reminds us that everyone does not automatically adopt the new thing just because it shows up.
When I see a new technology, my first reaction is cautious optimism. This attitude has kept me working with new technologies on a fairly continuous basis, but true success comes not from winning the early adopters. True success comes from the early adopters convincing the masses that the technology in question is the solution to a problem worthy of the effort to upgrade skills, upgrade code and risk careers. This is a multi-faceted problem that needs to be looked at from a variety of angles. For that reason, I have recruited a cast of thought leaders, including Golightly, to offer their opinions on the topic, lest my opinion weigh too heavily on the analysis here.
OS adoption
In spite of the inevitable conjecture surrounding any new release of Windows as to whether the masses might pass on it, the consensus seems to be that, as is typical, Windows 8 will enjoy widespread adoption over time.

The Tri-State area is the new Rome. Since 2004, three of America's wealthiest states -- Connecticut, New Jersey and New York -- have been wracked by devastating political scandals. In 2004, John G. Rowland, a rising Republican superstar, resigned from his post as governor of Connecticut after admitting to tax fraud and conspiracy to commit "honest services mail fraud," which is a fancy way of saying Rowland was improperly using his influence to make money and get free stuff. Rowland spent ten months in federal prison for his transgressions.
Only a few months later, New Jersey's governor, Jim McGreevey, revealed that he was engaging in a "consensual affair" with a male employee. (Considering his wife ostensibly did not "consent" to his deception, McGreevey's conduct seemed particularly distasteful, even if overtones of homophobia characterized the media's coverage of the scandal. However, a former aide accused McGreevey's wife, Dinos Matos McGreevey, of not only being aware of her husband's sexual preferences, but getting in on the fun herself.) America's first openly gay governor resigned amid a fury of outrage over his behavior on both sides of the political aisle.
But New York always has to do everything better than its smaller, less important neighbors, right? Eliot Spitzer -- the self-proclaimed "steamroller" who built his reputation on his strict sense of morality and justice -- trumped both Rowland and McGreevey when it was revealed that he enjoyed the company of high-priced prostitutes. Spitzer's heavy-handed, holier-than-thou approach to politics all but ensured that he would not survive a scandal of this nature and magnitude. With characteristic schadenfreude, the press discovered nearly every unsavory detail; it took less than 24 hours before the media "revealed" the true identity of the prostitute that led to Spitzer's downfall. (The woman -- Ashley Alexandra Dupré -- is now a MySpace celebrity.)
The proliferation of sex and corruption scandals in the Tri-State area is troubling. Many of these men (and they are mostly, if not all, men) engage in morally egregious behavior that is repugnant to ordinary Americans. The Rowland-McGreevey-Spitzer trifecta is a particularly concentrated -- and particularly disturbing -- illustrations of the ways in which American politics is often steeped in corruption.
But are we paying undue attention to these sex scandals? The argument is often made that Americans ought to care less about blue dresses and blow jobs and more about our country's most pressing concerns like education, health care and the war in Iraq. The sentiment underlying this claim is undoubtedly true -- policy is more important than the sexual proclivities of our "esteemed" leaders. It is regrettable that Americans probably know more about Dupré than they do about the platforms of the candidates competing for the presidency. Why can't we just ignore the steamy stuff and focus on whether or not a politician is good at his job?
The problem is that this argument sets up a false binary between public and private morality. These are not completely separate categories. Part of the reason the conflict in Iraq inflicted so much damage to the American psyche is that our legitimacy as the world's only superpower was severely undermined by the deceptive practices of the Bush administration.
Similarly, politicians that violate their most basic commitments in their private lives reduce their moral legitimacy, undermining their ability to govern effectively. We ought to be more concerned about policy in this country, but that doesn't mean that we should stop caring about whether or not a politician can exercise sound judgement in his or her most significant personal relationships.

They are gerunds.
The sentence is typical medical jargon, and would be perfectly intelligible to doctors, nurses and scientists.
More than one-half of gastric ulcers occur in males, and they are less common than duodenal ulcers. (It's not the one-half that are less common.) However, this lower rate of occurrence may be at least partly an illusion due to the fact that gastric ulcers often have no symptoms and are discovered only after a complication develops.

Springfield, MA (Sports Network) - The American Hockey League and the Professional Hockey Players' Association announced a new collective bargaining agreement.
The new CBA, which runs through August 31, 2014, was ratified by the AHL's Board of Governors and an overwhelming majority of the league's players.
"The American Hockey League continues to be fortunate to have an extremely positive and open relationship with our players and with the PHPA," said AHL president and CEO David Andrews. "Our previous CBA included several significant elements which have proven over the last several years to be beneficial to our players, our owners, and ultimately our fans, and this new agreement continues in that same spirit of cooperation."
The new CBA includes significant enhancements to the health and welfare plan currently offered to AHL players and their families, provides flexibility to the AHL in Calder Cup playoff scheduling and financing, and allows for increases to per-diem and minimum salary as well as modifications to housing and travel provisions.
"Given the labor uncertainty currently at the forefront of professional sports, we viewed these negotiations as a means to create stability at our level of the sport, advancing the benefits and rights of current and future AHL players and their families, while simultaneously being mindful of the current economic landscape in North America," said PHPA executive director Larry Landon. "We surveyed the players last fall and asked them what they would like us to address in CBA negotiations. We feel this is a deal that incorporates revision or implementation of the various items suggested by the players and adds significant value for present and future AHL players."
The AHL, the top developmental league for the National Hockey League, begins its 75th anniversary season Friday night.

Striped Burrfish
Spiny BoxfishFamily: Diodontidae Chilomycterus schoepfiiPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy David Brough
The color of the Striped Burrfish or Spiny Boxfish is a good camouflage in its' natural environment. This one has the spines which are always erect. This is very interesting and intriguing fish!
This one is doing what most Striped Burrfish or Spiny Boxfish do very well, looking for food! They will learn that you feed them, and usually swim up to the top every time you approach the aquarium.
For more Information on keeping this fish see:
Guide to a Happy, Healthy Marine Aquarium
Maintenance difficulty: The Striped Burrfish or Spiny Boxfish is not the hardiest of the diodon family. They may be slow to start eating and like other puffers, they require special care and a special diet to stay healthy.
Maintenance: Puffers have strong teeth that grow throughout their lives. They need to be offered hard shelled live food often to keep their teeth worn down. For a better explanation and links to the practice of puffer dentistry (if needed) please read here. Because they eat a meaty diet and are often messy eaters, puffers will produce a large bio load on the biological filter of your aquarium requiring frequent water changes and good maintenance practices.
Habitat: Natural geographic location: Striped Burrfish or Spiny Boxfish are found in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean.
Foods: Puffers are primarily predatory fish in the wild, though they do graze on algae as well. Acceptable foods include shellfish, crustaceans and hard shelled foods such as snails. A large variety of all kinds of live and frozen meaty foods are best. It is best to feed small amounts several times a day. Some of the suggested frozen foods include prawn, crabs/crabs legs, bloodworms (live or frozen), blackworms (live or frozen), silversides, and mussels. Be sure to wash these foods thoroughly before feeding. Live foods can include snails, crabs, crayfish, shrimp (these are good for keeping their teeth trimmed), and earthworms. Live fish will also be eaten but it is thought it may cause problems such as 'fatty" liver and so should be fed sparingly or not at all.. Puffers are not picky eaters and will quickly become adapted to a variety of prepared aquarium foods and an occasional algae wafer. Flake food is not recommended. Even though they may eat it, puffers will not thrive on it.
Social Behaviors: Generally this fish is aggressive among themselves, also, smaller fish may be eaten.
Sex: Sexual differences: Unknown.
Light: Recommended light levels: No special requirements.
Temperature: No special requirements. Normal temperatures for marine fish is between 74 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit.
Length/Diameter of fish: Striped Burrfish or Spiny Boxfish adults can grow to 30.0 cm (12 inches).
Minimum Tank Length/Size: A minimum 60 gallon aquarium is recommended.
Water Movement: Weak, Moderate, Strong No special requirements.
Water Region: Top, Middle, Bottom No special requirements.
Availability: This fish is available from time to time.

BUNKER HILL Community College president Mary Fifield, who is retiring in June, engineered impressive enrollment gains and innovations such as midnight classes at the Charlestown campus. She's a star. Across town at Roxbury Community College, former president Terrence Gomes stumbled around before resigning last year amid charges of sloppy distribution of financial aid and underreporting of campus crime. He's a washout. But both presidents have something significant in common: low graduation rates.
Searches are underway at both campuses for new presidents. But the lack of buzz in Boston about the effort is surprising, especially given the Obama administration's recent focus on community colleges as gateways to the middle class. Governor Deval Patrick and Mayor Thomas Menino should be standing on their heads trying to attract first-rate candidates to these posts.

DETROIT — More than 40 years have passed since the recording of Marvin Gaye's ''Save the Children,'' but a replay of the song in the studio where it was recorded compressed time and brought tears to the eyes of Louvain Demps.
Demps was no mere fan visiting what's now the Motown Historical Museum. She was one of the women singing the angelic, high harmonies on the recording — and hearing it in Hitsville USA's Studio A was too much.

With my partner Anna Hanchett I own and operate Manda Farm in Plainfield, MA where we raise rare and endangered species of pigs, turkeys, and cattle as well as dairy goats and heritage vegetables in season. Prior to taking on this "retirement job," I spent over 30 years working in large computer and internet services companies where I held management positions in areas such as Operations, Marketing, and Technical Support among others. My most recent position was senior vice president of operations for the Internet services company Genuity Inc. I was one of the first to join the steering committee in late 2009 when I heard about the co-op transition idea. I have been the co-ops Treasurer and "go to" technical person and recently agreed to step off the board to be GM.
