I am a certified tutor for small children, teenagers and adults in a variety of subjects. I started tutoring while I was a student University of Michigan (Ann-Arbor). I tutor: all K-8 math, algebra I and II (Honors), geometry (Honors), trigonometry (Honors), pre-calculus, calculus (AP), chemistry (AP), physics, civics/social studies, and a variety of language arts. I emphasize vocabulary (if you can't talk about it, you can't do it!); problem solving techniques (orderly, stepwise problem solving... showing work); study skills; time management; and planning; and of course having fun while learning! As an engineer with DuPont, and Westinghouse, and an MBA/entrepreneur (starting/helping to start businesses) I know what it takes to have success. Are you ready?

Fantastic Tutor —
I went through four tutors prior to stumbling upon Enos. They were all amiable, professional and very knowledgeable in their respective fields. However, they lacked the skills to teach in a cogent manner.

The Three Village Board of Education on Tuesday voted unanimously to appoint Kevin Scanlon as the new assistant superintendent for educational services, the position that Cheryl Pedisich will vacate as she steps into on July 1.
Scanlon is in his seventh year as the high school principal in the Roslyn School District, a position he accepted following the 2005 financial scandal that rocked Roslyn, a school system serving approximately 3,336 students.
"We're very confident in the great things he's going to be able to bring to the district," school board president John Diviney said immediately following Scanlon's appointment.
Scanlon, 42, is a former faculty member within Three Village. He taught social studies at Ward Melville High School for five years, then served as chairman of humanities at Gelinas Junior High for two – a position he began around the time of 9/11. He left Three Village to become the district supervisor in the Oyster Bay School District, and eventually turned down an offer to become an assistant superintendent in Oyster Bay to take his current position in Roslyn.
He earned his undergraduate degree in Middle Eastern history from Iona College, along with a Master's degree in criminal justice from Iona as well. He earned his school administrator's certificate and school district administrator's certificate from Stony Brook University.
"The first goal is to try to get to know what's going on in the district," said Scanlon, who also served eight years in the U.S. Naval Reserve. "Hit the ground running, so to speak. Come up with a game plan once we see what's going on in the district."
Scanlon and his family are 12-year residents of Smithtown.
He will earn a base salary of $185,000 from the district and will contribute 15 percent towards health benefits.
Editor's Note: This story was updated on May 1 upon receipt of a copy of the assistant superintendent's contract obtained via a Freedom of Information Law request.

Futures in focus for Londonderry adult ed graduates
Regardless of how the eight young people honored at Wednesday evening's Londonderry Adult Education commencement ceremony arrived there, however, all found much reason to hope for the future.
The alternative education program, which is held during the evening at the high school, has proven a lifesaver to struggling students from Londonderry and surrounding towns since its inception nine years ago.
For Hudson resident Cassandra Freitas, earning a high school diploma was about becoming a person her young son could look up to.
Already a troubled young adult, Freitas was 17 when she learned she was pregnant. She dropped out of traditional high school soon after.
But following the birth of her son, the determined young woman knew she had to persevere.
"I wanted things to be better for his sake," Freitas said. "When he gets older and finds himself having trouble in high school, I want him to look at me and say, 'Well, if she can do it, I sure can.'"
Her path was paved with challenges. When she enrolled in the program in fall 2011, Freitas had earned fewer than two high school credits.
But she credits her supportive friends, family and teachers for being with her every step of the way.
"He looked at me as a person, not as a delinquent," Freitas said of program director Greg Warren. "Now I tell people to never give up."
Warren lauded the recent graduates for tackling their troubles head on.
"The challenges you've faced have made you all the stronger," he said. "Each of you came here with your own unique circumstances and you never know what others have experienced in their lives."
Londonderry Superintendent Nathan Greenberg said the students' struggles aren't unlike the struggles faced by the immigrants of bygone days who braved the unknown to forge a nation.
"I think the word here is 'choice,'" he said. "Like them, all of you have made a choice that hasn't always been the easiest path. And like them, you will go on to create positive and successful lives for yourselves."
Teacher Alan LaBranche said his nontraditional students never fail to inspire him.
"I have confidence in all of you," he told the graduates.
Since the program's inception, Londonderry's Adult Education program has reached students well beyond Londonderry.
William Hicks, a guidance councilor at Campbell High School in Litchfield, said he's seen around 30 Litchfield students complete the program over the years.
"These are people who never would have gotten their high school diplomas if it weren't for this program," Hicks said.
His advice for the graduates?
"When you're looking down, it's pretty hard to think of anything but the past," Hicks said. "But if you look upwards, that's when you can focus on the future. And the future can be your best friend."
This winter's graduates were: Taryn Ashley Beard, Tracy Daniel Burke, Maverick James Chapdelaine, Katie Lynn Dawe, Michael Angelo DeRienzo, Cassandra Louise Freitas, Eric Paul Pelland and Christopher John Sartell.

The 39-year-old forward left NHL executives impressed with his level of play for the Czech Republic, in leading his team to the bronze.
"He's still one of the most dominant players in the world," Blues GM Doug Armstrong told Sporting News. "There'd be no question, if he had the desire to play in the NHL, there¹s no question he has the talent level."
And that's the next question. Does he have the desire?
In an e-mail to Sporting News, Jagr¹s agent Pat Brisson said he wasn't sure of Jagr's plans moving forward at this point.
Jagr told the Edmonton Journal that he's keeping an open mind in regards to the possibility of playing in the NHL.
"You never know. Maybe it will be still fun to go back to NHL," Jagr told the Journal.
He mentioned the Penguins, Canadiens and Rangers as teams he would be interested in joining if it came to that.
The talent level in Pittsburgh and his familiarity with the franchise could make that team the most appealing for Jagr.
"I played there for a long time," he said. "Mario (Lemieux) is the owner. It's better to play with great centers like (Sidney) Crosby and (Evgeni) Malkin."
Jagr had five goals and four assists in nine games during the World Championships. He last played in the NHL during the 2007-08 season, scoring 25 goals for the Rangers.
It raises the issue of whether or not Jagr is prepared for the rigors of an 82-game NHL season, plus the playoffs.
"A guy that talented can do whatever he wants," said Paul Fenton, the Predators assistant GM who was part of the Team USA management group in Slovakia. "The question would be playing a full season in the National Hockey League with the way our game is now there are no nights off. Every two points is critical and vital. It would just depend on how much he had left, how much of a desire it is to come back and make an impact."

HHS Would Hike Whistleblower Rewards to $10M
Forget Powerball. The odds of becoming a millionaire are much better for Medicare fraud whistleblowers.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius this week unveiled a proposed rule that would pay rewards of nearly $10 million to Medicare beneficiaries and other whistleblowers whose fraud tips identify and recover funds.
"President Obama has made the elimination of fraud, waste and abuse, particularly in healthcare, a top priority for the administration," Sebelius said Wednesday in prepared remarks. "Today's announcement is a signal to Medicare beneficiaries and caregivers, who are on the frontlines of this fight, that they are critical partners in helping protect taxpayer dollars."
The announcement comes as HHS bolsters other antifraud initiatives this month, including the expansion of the Senior Medicare Patrol, a volunteer-based program that educates Medicare beneficiaries on how to prevent, detect and report Medicare fraud, waste and abuse.

Apparently the famed Austrian label, Irievibrations, has been experimenting with time travel as that may very well be the only way to explain their most interesting and colourful latest release. The label known for bringng to the masses projects like Perfect's "Born Dead With Life" album in 2008 and last year's "Modern Revolution" from bros. Delus & Konshens, now drops in (probably in an El Dorado) with the fittingly titled Roll Out Riddim.
The piece sounds straight out of ~1975, surely before any of the artists who voice it were born. Those artists are the aformentioned Delus & Konshens who take solo shots at the Roll Out (Konshens in an extremely X-Rated fashion). The brothers are joined by the Ward 21 crew who delivers, in 'No Love', one of the strongest pieces on the riddim and in their own recent history; there's also the very curious 'Bill' from a resident of the Ward, Tifa, which has to be heard. And left to be the voice of reason is veteran star Anthony B who offers just that with his effort, 'Hail Jah'.
Irievibrations sends on the Roll Out Riddim digitally in June. No word yet on when it'll be available on 8-Track, but stay tuned.

A friend sent this to me by e-mail, and I thought my readers would enjoy it.
A young lady was jogging one day in her neighborhood when she passed a house with an exceptionally well-kept flower garden. She slowed down to admire the colorful, fragrant blooms. Peeking through the yard's picket fence, she spied an elderly lady kneeling in one of the beds.
The jogger stopped and called, "Good morning," to the gardener. "I just want to say how much I admire your garden."
"Well," the elderly woman frowned as she pulled herself up, "it's getting harder and harder to take care of, you know."
"But you do a beautiful job," the jogger called.
"Not like I used to," The woman shook her head and frowned. "My arthritis kicks in, and I just can't get to everything I want to do. You should have seen it 20 years ago.
The young woman persisted in her praise for the gardener whose handiwork brightened the entire block.
The gardener, not to be budged from her negative attitude continued to air her complaints. Finally the jogger broke in. "Well, you have to admit," she said with a smile, "it's better to be up here on earth looking down on the flowers than to be under the earth staring at their roots."
Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, an elderly man and his wife were told there would be a 45 minute wait for a table.
"Young man, we're both 90 years old," the husband said. We may not have 45 minutes."
They were seated immediately.
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn't it follow that electricians could be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners depressed?
Bubba came running into the store and said to his buddy Earl, "Somebody stole your pickup from the parking lot."
Earl asked Bubba, "Did y'all see who it was?"
Bubba answered, "No, but I got the license number."
It's a sure sign your age is showing when:
• People start telling you how good you look
• History students start interviewing you for eye-witness reports
• You're not ticketed for speeding but pulled over for driving too slow.
After the elderly couple arrived at the lake for a weekend away, the wife exclaimed, "Oh honey! We must go back home right now! I'm afraid I left the iron on and it will start a fire."
"Don't worry abut it dear," the husband replied, "I just remembered I left the water running in the kitchen sink."
On March 10, 1971 the U.S. Senate lowered the voting age to 18.
What historic event took place on January 31, 1958?
"Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

This week Business Roundtable, an association of chief executive officers of top U.S. companies, published its 2013 reporton how many of the U.S.'s top companies are addressing sustainability challenges. The report includes a letter from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who outlines how Microsoft is using technology to reduce its carbon footprint and how technology can achieve gains in energy efficiency.
Business Roundtable is a who's who of American business. The companies represented by the organization comprise more than $7.3 trillion in annual revenue and combined represent nearly one-third of the total value of the U.S. stock market. The key theme in this year's report—which is entitled "Create, Grow, Sustain: How Companies Are Doing Well by Doing Good"—is that companies are making a difference in their communities, developing products that improve lives and are pursuing socially responsible business practices.
For the past several years, I've used Earth Day as an opportunity to look at Microsoft's progress on environmental sustainability issues over the past 12 months and where we are headed in the year to come.
The most significant progress to report is around Microsoft's work to achieve carbon neutrality in our current fiscal year. We announced this commitment last year. I'm excited we made the commitment and are on track to meet it, but I am even more excited about how we're meeting it. We are one of the very first companies to put an internal price on carbon emissions, which provides our business and operational groups more awareness and incentives to conserve energy and seek renewable power. The fee enables us to invest in renewable energy credits and certified offset projects to meet our carbon neutrality goal. I attended the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen a few years ago where the nations of the world tried and failed to achieve a global system for addressing greenhouse gas emissions. With that in mind, I'm struck that Microsoft is one of very few organizations in the world today imposing a carbon fee across operations in 100+ countries in a way that makes economic and environmental sense.
Since committing to carbon neutrality last year, we here at Microsoft appreciate hearing how others around the world are striving for similar goals of net-zero emissions. This week, Copenhagen announced its plan to be 100 percent carbon neutral by 2025, according to Clean Technica. This would give Denmark's capital the honor of being the world's first capital city to achieve carbon neutrality. Read on to learn more about how governments and organizations alike are working toward carbon neutrality.
For the second consecutive year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named Microsoft to its Green Power Partnership Top 50 List—and this year our ranking increased to second on the Top 50 List.
One of the biggest contributors to greenhouses gases in the U.S. is what you'd least expect—commercial buildings. In fact, the office you're reading this blog post in right now may have as much of an environmental impact as your commute to work today. Commercial buildings are responsible for nearly 20 percent of U.S. greenhouse gases—nearly as much as the emissions from all forms of transportation. They are also one of the single greatest operating expenses for companies. Energy plays a significant part in those expenses, particularly when inefficiencies across commercial buildings waste an estimated 15 to 30 percent of the energy they use.
In October 2011, we published a whitepaper that detailed a pilot at Microsoft to make energy-smart buildings. The pilot began with a fairly small number of buildings on our Redmond campus. We took the building management system in some of our buildings and added an additional layer of IT intelligence on top of them. We found that we could reduce energy usage by 6 to 10 percent—all without needing to make a single retrofit to buildings. Today in a story on

Ford Flex stronger, more comfortable that Honda Pilot Mike Castrucci of Alexandria shows off 2013 Ford Flex
ALEXANDRIA, Ky., May 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The SUV class of the auto industry has gone through a fair amount of changes since its inception. There are a couple of examples on the market right now that still have a strong sense of the "utility" that makes the full-size SUV an attractive choice for buyers at Mike Castrucci of Alexandria. Comparing the 2013 Ford Flex vs. the 2013 Honda Pilot and buyers will see that they can still have capable people-hauler as well as a vehicle that has the ability to adapt to a wide range of tasks that could feasibly be asked of them.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130520/CG17286)
The 2013 Ford Flex for sale at Mike Castrucci of Alexandria brings a heady mix of seating capacity, horsepower and towing ability to the game. Depending on how buyers choose seats in the 2013 Ford Flex near Cincinnati, there is the capacity for up to seven people. In a nod to how comfortable the rear passengers will be the Flex has a very easy to access third row that will still leave even taller passengers with plenty of leg room. The third row of the 2013 Honda Pilot sits a bit lower and may leave some passengers a bit cramped.
Since there is so much room for passengers and their luggage, with the Ford Flex showing up with 83 cubic-feet of cargo space, it may be the vehicle of choice for people looking to grab some friends and make an impromptu weekend getaway. Should that getaway involve some light-duty towing, the 2013 Ford Flex vs. the 2013 Honda Pilot win this battle with its ability to tow up to 4,500 pounds compared to the 2,000 lbs. for the Honda Pilot.
The towing capacity of the Ford Flex is greatly helped out by the powerful engine that is yet another win in the Ford Flex vs. Honda Pilot battle. The base trim of the Ford Flex comes with a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine that is rated up to 285-horsepower. The 2013 Ford Flex also has an option, depending on trim, for a 3.5-liter, V-6 with EcoBoost technology that can turn out up to 355-hp. Both engine options of the Ford Flex come with a six-speed automatic and all Environmental Protection Agency fuel-economy ratings are within a couple miles per gallon of one another. The Honda Pilot comes with only one engine option, a 250-hp, 3.5-liter V-6.
Those interested in taking a closer look at the 2013 Ford Flex or would like to schedule a test drive, contact a Mike Castrucci of Alexandria sales professional at (866) 494-7068. The entire Mike Castrucci of Alexandria showroom can be viewed at www.mikecastruccialexandria.com. Their showroom is located at 7400 Alexandria Pike, Alexandria, KY 41001.

One of the Greater Brandon area's oldest strip shopping centers has been torn down to make way for a Wawa gas station and food mart at the corner of Bloomingdale Avenue and Lithia-Pinecrest Road.
"Some people may have seen that area as an eyesore, but for those of us who have been here for many, many years, it was a part of our history in the community," said Lisa Rodriguez, a past honorary mayor of Brandon.
"A part of our history has been torn down, to become what, just another gas station?" she added. "And it's not just a gas station. It's a mega-gas station. Is this truly what Brandon wants or deserves?"
The strip center used to be home to Consign DeZigns, Angie's Hair Salon, Weir's Music and Lucky Day Emporium, among other small, mom-and-pop businesses. Also there you could get custom cabinets and alterations and repairs.
According to an earlier Bloomingdale-Riverview Patch report, tenants had been told to move out by March.
Maria Gomes, owner of Consign Dezigns, said her father, Elvin Hansen, has owned the property where she had her consignment shop since 1953. County records show the 3,372-square-foot building was first constructed in 1947.
"They made my father a fair offer and he's sold the property," Gomes said. "It was a situation where the developer wanted all three properties at the intersection."
The other two properties are the newly constructed Verizon Wireless store and Outdoor Impressions.
Wawa is a popular Pennsylvania-based company, featuring fresh, built-to-order sandwiches and salads, soups, hot breakfast sandwiches, freshly brewed coffee along with gas services and ATM machines. The chain has more than 595 convenience stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and, most recently, Florida.
Construction currently is under way on a Wawa food market and gas station on the south side of Bloomingdale Avenue, just east of U.S. 301.
Also coming is a Thorntons at the end of Lithia-Pinecrest Road and Brandon Boulevard, to complement a newly opened Thorntons at the corner of Bloomingale Avenue/Progree Boulevard and U.S. Highway 301 in Riverview.
Meanwhile, community activists are lodging a fight to protect the wetlands at the corner of Kings Avenue and Lumsden Road, where under consideration is a RaceTrac gas station and convenience store.

We know how difficult it can be for a school to select the right internet provider for an E-Rate application. After all, most providers seem to offer the same services, use identical words, and offer similar pricing.
No wonder it's confusing to you.
But HBC makes the choice much easier, because we give schools a combination of substantial values the others likely don't, starting with meaningful savings from very first day, and for years to come.
Our internet services come with an important extra: FREE PBX service. Schools purchasing 100MG or more of internet services from HBC will receive up to seven free phone extensions, which can add up to $3,000 a year in savings for your school.
HBC provides today's best-in-class, future-proof technology, because your classrooms deserve nothing less. This means you don't have to worry about your internet service becoming obsolete six months after you get it. Or even after six years, for that matter.
With HBC, your substantial E-Rate discount can be just the beginning — because HBC offers an additional grant. So besides the generous grant E-Rate provides to schools, HBC offers you our own additional money-saving grant just for schools contracting for our advanced technology plan.
As HBC is a government-accredited vendor, E-Rate rules prohibit us and all providers from being involved with the preparation of the Form-470 or the bidding process. Once chosen as your provider, we will be happy to offer — free of fees — our technical expertise and advice on additional E-Rate forms and processing.
We keep it simple with clear, understandable SPI or BEAR E-Rate compliant invoicing. While E-Rate funding might first appear to be mind-bogglingly complicated, our accounting department works hard to make invoicing easy, painless, accurate and totally transparent.
Yes, we did say 100%. HBC represents the country's most reliable provider of internet services — whose advanced delivery technologies include critical redundancy of networks to assure continuance of internet delivery. So your school will benefit from the most trouble-free, dependable internet service available.
The HBC expert support staff is available at only one time: Any time, day or night, that you need us to help answer your questions, reconcile an issue, solve a problem, and make sure your internet service is performing at its maximum best. Which is what you, and we, expect from your internet provider.

Kingston attorney Chris Cawood might have to write a follow-up to "Sex, Lies and Videotape" – a book he wrote that featured a sexual relationship with a female client that turned into the talk of the town.
His legal fight with authorities, in which he alleged "outrageous conduct" by county officials involving the tape, started in 1999. It was well documented in the book.
A state appeals court ruled this week that Cawood's legal fight can continue.
The Roane County Commission will discuss proposed changes to the county's ethics policy during a workshop on Tuesday.
"I think it's probably not the policy that we need and so I'm asking the commission to listen to that and see if they agree with me," said Troy Beets, chairman of the county commission and ethics committee.
Beets said the current policy is too broad and goes beyond what the Tennessee General Assembly intended for counties to do.

Ambush? Or self-defense?
Rocky Houston and his attorney may try to convince a jury the latter is what caused the violent deaths of a sheriff's deputy and his ride-along passenger two and a half years ago.
If the trial of Rocky's brother, Leon, is an indication, the state will try to show the jury the deaths were the result of a premeditated slaughter.

Alternative Therapies could include:
Yoga is an ancient system of relaxation, exercise, and healing with origins in Indian philosophy. Early descriptions of yoga are written in Sanskrit, the classical literary language of India. The first known work is "The Yoga Sutras," written more than 2,000 years ago, although yoga may have been practiced up to 5,000 years ago. The initial concepts have been adapted over time through translation and scholarly interpretation, but the fundamental principles describing the practice of yoga in the quest of the soul remain largely intact. Yoga has been described as "the union of mind, body, and spirit," which addresses physical, mental, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions towards an overall harmonious state of being. The philosophy of yoga is sometimes pictured as a tree with eight branches. These eight limbs are: pranayama (breathing exercises), asana (physical postures), yama (moral behavior), niyama (healthy habit), dharana (concentration), prathyahara (sense withdrawal), dhyana (contemplation), and s amadhi (higher consciousness). There are several schools of yoga practice, such as hatha yoga, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, and raja yoga. These schools vary in the proportions of the exercises of the eight limbs. However, they are all similar in working towards the goal of self-realization and control of mental, physiological, and psychological parameters through yogic experiences. In the United States and Europe, hatha yoga is commonly practiced, including pranayama and asanas . Yoga is often practiced by healthy individuals with the aim to achieve relaxation, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle. Yoga has also been recommended and used for a variety of medical conditions. Yoga techniques can be learned in classes or through videotape instruction. Classes last from 30 to 90 minutes and are offered at various skill levels. There is no widely accepted credentialing for yoga instructors.
Yoga is an ancient practice rooted in Indian philosophy. Originally observed as a method of attaining spiritual enlightenment, yoga is a combination of physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation that aims to bring balance to the mind a...
Various forms of meditation have been practiced for thousands of years throughout the world, with many techniques originating in Eastern religious practices. In modern times, numerous meditation types are in use, often outside of their original religious and cultural contexts. The definition of meditation is variable. A classic definition of meditation is the deliberate self-regulation of attention through which the stream of consciousness is temporarily suspended. A common goal is to attain a state of "thoughtless awareness" of sensations and mental activities occurring at the present moment. However, meditation is often popularly perceived as any activity through which a person's attention is focused on a repetitious thought or word. Meditation generally does not involve suggestion, autosuggestion, or trance. Techniques that make use of constant repetition of syllables, visualizations, or other thought forms, but do not achieve thoughtless awareness, are sometimes described as being "quasi-meditative." There are many forms and sub-types of meditation or "quasi meditation," and several techniques are described below. Mindfulness is an approach in which attention is focused on a physical sensation (such as the breath). When thoughts intrude, the individual returns to the focus. Attention is placed on the present moment, rather than on the future or past. This technique may involve a "body scan," in which one focuses on the body from head to feet, concentrating on areas of pain or illness. This is usually performed while lying down. Regular practice is suggested to enhance self-awareness. Analytical meditation differs from other forms in that the practitioner does not repeat a word over and over, but rather strives to comprehend the deeper meaning of the object of focus. Guided meditation or guided imagery is a technique that directs the imagination towards a conscious goal. Yoga nidra or yogic "sleep" is considered to be a form of guided meditation. Breath medita...
Relaxation techniques include behavioral therapeutic approaches that differ widely in philosophy, methodology, and practice. The primary goal is usually non-directed relaxation. Most techniques share the components of repetitive focus (on a word, sound, prayer phrase, body sensation, or muscular activity), adoption of a passive attitude towards intruding thoughts, and return to the focus. Deep and brief methods exist. Deep methods include autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), and meditation (although meditation is sometimes distinguished from relaxation based on the state of "thoughtless awareness" that is said to occur during meditation). Brief methods include self-control relaxation, paced respiration, and deep breathing. Brief methods generally require less time and often represent an abbreviated form of a deep method. Other relaxation techniques include guided imagery, deep breathing/breathing control, passive muscle relaxation, and refocusing. Applied relaxation involves imagination of relaxing situations with the intention of inducing muscular and mental relaxation. Another popular technique is progressive relaxation, in which the individual is taught what it feels like to relax by comparing relaxation with muscle tension. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is said to require several months of practice at least three times per week in order to be able to evoke the relaxation response within seconds. Relaxation technique instruction is available in many hospitals, in the community, in books, or on audiotapes/videotapes. The term "relaxation response" was coined by Harvard professor and cardiologist Herbert Benson, MD in the early 1970s to describe the physiologic reaction that is the opposite of the stress response. The relaxation response is proposed to involve decreased arousal of the autonomic nervous system and central nervous system as well as increased parasympathetic activity characterized by lowered musculoskeletal and cardiovascu...
The practice of acupuncture originated in China 5,000 years ago. Today it is widely used throughout the world and is one of the main pillars of Chinese medicine. There are many different varieties of the practice of acupuncture, both in the Orient and in the West. The most common forms available to westerners are as follows. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) usually combines acupuncture with Chinese herbs. Classical acupuncture (also known as five element acupuncture) uses a different needling technique and relies on acupuncture independent of the use of herbs. Japanese acupuncture uses smaller needles than the other varieties. Medical acupuncture refers to acupuncture practiced by a conventional medical doctor. Auricular acupuncture treats the entire body through acupuncture points in the ears only. Electroacupuncture uses electrical currents attached to acupuncture needles. Aside from needles, other methods of stimulation are also considered forms of "acupuncture." These include the use of heat from the burning of herbs placed on specific points ("moxibustion") and the placement of herbal pastes on specific points. Research on the effectiveness of acupuncture has special challenges. These include the diversity of approaches, the practice of individualizing treatment for each patient, differing skill levels between practitioners, and difficulty separating out the effects of acupuncture from placebo effects (i.e., how the patient's beliefs and expectations affect his/her perception of symptoms). Based on acupuncture's long history of use as well as the limited research available, both the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health have identified many conditions for which it may be recommended. However, many common uses do not yet have formal scientific evidence to support them.
Fragrant oils have been used for thousands of years to lubricate the skin, purify air, and repel insects. Ancient Egyptians used fragrant oils for bathing and massage. Essential oils of plants have been used medicinally through application directly to the skin (usually diluted), as a part of massage, added to bathwater, via steam inhalation, or in mouthwashes. Aromatherapy is a technique in which essential oils from plants are used with the intention of preventing or treating illness, reducing stress, or enhancing well-being. Fragrance oils and products containing man-made compounds are not used in the practice of genuine aromatherapy. Although many gift shops sell scented candles, pomanders, and potpourri as "aromatherapy," genuine aromatherapy treatments use higher strength (concentrated) essential oils drawn from various herbs. There is no formal training or licensing procedure for aromatherapists in the United States. This technique is offered by a wide range of practitioners with licenses in other fields, including massage therapists, chiropractors, and other therapists.
Overview : Chiropractic is a health care discipline that focuses on the relationship between musculoskeletal structure (primarily the spine) and body function (as coordinated by the nervous system), and how this relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. The broad term "spinal manipulative therapy" incorporates all types of manual techniques, including chiropractic. History : Spinal manipulation was used medicinally as early as 2700 B.C. in ancient Chinese medicine. Hippocrates and Galen used manipulative techniques, and the word "chiropractic" is derived from Greek chiropraktikos , meaning "effective treatment by hand." In the late 1800s, David Daniel Palmer systematized the principles upon which modern chiropractic is based, suggesting that abnormal nerve function is the primary cause of disorders, and recommending adjustment of the spine as an effective therapy. The Palmer School of Chiropractic opened in 1895, and one-third of students were physicians. Acceptance of Palmer's principles in the medical community varied, and some early chiropractors were imprisoned (including Palmer himself). A schism between chiropractors and medical doctors persisted, and between 1977-1987, an antitrust lawsuit was brought against the American Medical Association for systematic bias against the chiropractic profession (which was ultimately successful). Divisions existed within the chiropractic community as well, and during the early 20 th century, two schools of thought emerged: One group ("straights") asserted that subluxation is the underlying cause of disease. A second group ("mixers") worked in a multidisciplinary setting with physicians, and accepted other pathophysiologic theories of disease. Two different chiropractic associations were founded between 1920-1926 reflecting this division: the International Chiropractic Association (ICA) and the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), respectively. In 1972, chiropractic treatment became reimbursable ...

New post:Anantapur Collector V. Durga Das taking charge on Wednesday.
ANANTAPUR: The new collector of Anantapur district V. Durga Das took charge on Wednesday from Joint Collector Anitha Ramachandran who had filled in for the post as In-charge Collector for a brief period.
Mr. Durga Das was previously posted as the Secretary at the Excise Department.
He had earlier worked as the VC of Vijayawada, Guntur, Tenali and Mangalagiri Urban Development Authority (VGTMUDA), and as the Joint Collector of West Godavari and Warangal districts.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that he would ensure the development of the district by implementing all schemes and programs of the State government.
He also sought the cooperation of all the respective officers of their departments in ensuring the progress of the district.
"I will try and ensure that the district fares very well in the field of education", he said apparently concerned about the falling results of the children from the district in the State and Central government exams being conducted.

Two potato preparations often offered as alternative side dishes for breakfasts in American diners and the like: Would you like hash browns or home fries with that? Both have idiomatic names, names that in fact are easily confused: both are browned by pan-frying, so the words browns and fries have some motivation in their names, while hash and home are simply puzzling.

Peter MendelsundJuly 21, 2014
From the August 2014 issue of Details magazine, the piece "The Cover Artist" by Timothy Hodler:
You may not know his name, but chances are you already own some of Peter Mendelsund's work. The 46-year-old designer of iconic book jackets for top-shelf authors both living (Martin Amis) and dead (James Joyce) is celebrated in this month's Cover (powerHouse, $60; out August 5), a retrospective of his greatest hits. He's also publishing his first book, What We See When We Read (Vintage, $17; out August 5), a philosophical exploration of the literary imagination. Here, he shares the stories behind some of his standouts.
An example of Mendelsund's work, the cover for The Flame Alphabet by Ben Marcus:
Despite the title of the Details piece, the creators of book covers are not referred to as artists, at least in art circles, where they are designers or illustrators. They provide artwork (art for short) — designs or illustrations — for commercial purposes and so they are normally outside the world of art criticism and art exhibits ("Art art", you might say), except on special occasions, when applied (as opposed to fine) art, craftwork, folk art, street art, outsider art, etc. are granted attention in shows, catalogs, and the like.

Elaine StritchJuly 18, 2014
In today's NYT, "Elaine Stritch, Broadway's Enduring Dame, Dies at 89″ by Bruce Weber and Robert Berkvist, beginning:
Elaine Stritch, the brassy, tart-tongued Broadway actress and singer who became a living emblem of show business durability and perhaps the leading interpreter of Stephen Sondheim's wryly acrid musings on aging, died on Thursday [7/17] at her home in Birmingham, Mich.
Things we doubt Louis XIV envisionedJuly 17, 2014
In the June/July 2014 Details, pp. 57-8, a piece by Laurence Lowe on the Jeff Koons retrospective now showing at the Whitney Museum in New York, treating four of his most iconic works: New Hoover Celebrity III's (1980); Michael Jackson and Bubbles (1988); Made in Heaven (1989); and Puppy (1992).
On the last, Koons says:
I created it for a site-specific exhibition in Bad Arolsen, Germany. There was a huge schloss in the center of town. I envisioned Louis XIV visiting it and thought, 'If Louis lived there, what would he want to see?' Maybe he'd wake up in the morning and want to see a sculpture, about 40 feet tall, all made of live flowers, in the shape of a dog. It was that intuitive.
(There are other installations in other places.)
Clickbait schemesJuly 17, 2014
Andras Kornai wrote me on Tuesday to comment on a prominent pattern he'd seen in online clickbaiting, exemplified by:
You Won't Believe What This Cop Did When The Cameras WEREN'T Rolling. WOW!
Man Attempts To Hug a Wild Lion. What Happens Next Stunned Me
He's collected hundreds of similar examples and wondered whether others had noticed the pattern (many have in fact been annoyed by it) and whether it had gotten a name (not so far as I know). In this particular schema, the "hook" is an expression of astonishment or surprise, which can be expressed in a number of ways, referring to the reader ("you won't believe", "you'll be amazed") or to the presumed writer ("… stunned me", "I couldn't believe"), in a variety of syntactic constructions. As a temporary expedient, I'll refer to this as the SURPRISE! clickbait scheme.
The scheme is "semi-formulaic", in a way that's reminiscent of the precursors to snowclones (see "The natural history of snowclones", here): a culturally significant idea is given a number of formulations; one version achieves special status (in a formula); and then this formula serves as a template for new expressions. The SURPRISE! scheme hasn't yet crystallized as a formula, but it's nevertheless recognizable by its form(s) and functions.
Hybrid dishes and foodmanteausJuly 15, 2014
From the 7/12/14 Economist, this feature: "Matches made in heaven—and hell: What do you get if you cross a waffle with a doughnut? It's no joke", beginning:
Not all marriages are happy, but Alex Hernandez thinks that the union of a waffle and a doughnut will be. The owner of Waffles Café in Chicago starting selling what he calls "wonuts" in April. They are deep-fried waffles, topped with icing and multicoloured sprinkles (see photo). Daily sales went from 24 to 600 within two days.
Ah, the foodmanteau wonut. Referring to a hybrid food:
A Sunday quartetJuly 14, 2014
Four cartoons from yesterday's crop: a Zippy in a nameless diner; a Doonesbury on rumors; a One Big Happy on the spread of expressions and speech styles from the media; and another Bizarro collection of puns. The strips:
The animal reportJuly 14, 2014
In the NYT Book Review yesterday, a set of three reviews of quirky books about people and animals (elephants, a tawny owl, and the giant squid); and then today in the Daily Post (Palo Alto and Mid-Peninsula), the story "Another cougar reported" (by Angelo Ruggiero), which I took at first to be a silly story about sexually aggressive older women in the area but which turned out (of course) to be about mountain lions.
