Sport UNites Youth Across Canada with the Pan/Parapan American Games
This summer has been very active for UNA-Canada's Outreach and Education Team! Thanks to generous funding from Heritage Canada's Community Celebrations fund, we have escalated and celebrated the Pan/Parapan American Games through simulations with over 1500 children from coast to coast! Events hosted in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, and Moncton brought youth of all ages together learning about the cultures of the Americas and Canadian heritage through the power of multisport to promote harmonious diversity and inclusion. The events gave children the opportunity to try official sports of the Pan/Parapan Am Games including goalball, taekwondo, soccer, diving and softball.

Project: Canada UpClose and Personal
The United Nations Association in Canada (UNA-Canada) has developed an innovative project titled Canada UpClose & Personal that motivates and prepares Canadian youth to investigate Canada's history through research, experiential learning, and empathy-based activities. The project, funded by Canadian Heritage under its Youth Take Charge programme, has reached youth in three Canadian regions: Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario.
It targets youth in high school grades, and those participating in out-of-school programmes, their teachers and community leaders as direct participants. UNA-Canada also recruits and engages university students to serve as facilitators and mentors to participating youth. Canada UpClose & Personal focuses on three key anniversaries:
a) End of Second World War;
b) 70th Anniversary of the United Nations; and
c) Centennial of Women's Suffrage in Canada (1916)
UNA-Canada works with a cross-section of partners in the three regions, including high schools, non-formal youth-serving agencies, community groups and its regional Branches to increase youth interaction and knowledge sharing, and to instill a sense of belonging and pride in their Canadian heritage. For more information, contact Project Manager, Sarah Kambites – [email protected] – Ext. 248
Sport in a Box
The SBOX project inspires young Canadians to use the power of sport to engage with their communities in global issues that affect us all. A legacy of the 2005 UN International Year of Sport and Physical Education (IYSPE), SBOX embodies the spirit of international cooperation that the UN fosters, empowering youth to take local action to address global challenges. An innovative, creative and fun project that uses sport to promote public awareness of relevant issues, SBOX emphasizes the importance of a life-long engagement in sport, physical activity and the appreciation of social-cultural diversity.

Good Cellulite Creams Contain Caffeine
Cellulite is a condition which affects a large number of men and women. However, more common in women, cellulite occurs when fat gets deposited in certain parts of the body, making the skin look flaky and dimpled. Cellulite has been seen to form in a large number of women all around the world during the post puberty period.
In the formation of cellulite, the major contributors are the hormonal balance in the body, and the lifestyle of a particular person. Since these factors play an important part, preventing cellulite formation may get a bit of a difficult. All the same, being affected by cellulite is not a major cause for worry. There are a number of proven methods which can help you get rid of cellulite effectively and quickly. These methods are time-tested and have been found to work efficiently as a remedy to cellulite.
Caffeine – A Common Remedy
One of the most commonly used remedies of cellulite is the chemical compound caffeine. Found commonly in household beverage coffee, the chemical properties of caffeine make it a wonder remedy for cellulite. Although caffeine is abundantly present in coffee, its use in the treatment of cellulite is done in a quite different way. That is intake of caffeine in coffee does not help in reducing cellulite, as there is no way caffeine can reach the affected areas. Rather, caffeine is beneficial when applied locally to the cellulite-affected areas.
For this very reason, most of the anti cellulite creams available over the counter today contain a generous amount of caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant, which means that its application to the affected areas increases the metabolism. It helps increase blood flow, facilitating swift burning of fat in the adjoining areas. Caffeine also plays a part in the fat-burning process itself.
Over the counter creams which reduce cellulite contain caffeine and caffeine derivatives, and use this stimulant property of caffeine to good effect in getting rid of cellulite. A number of top brands which specialize in cosmetic products have come out with cellulite reducing creams which help to get rid of cellulite fast. One such product is the Revitol cellulite cream. This product uses Retinol A and concentrated alga extract in addition to caffeine, to achieve maximum fat burning in the affected areas.
Nivea cellulite cream, also available in gel form, also uses a number of chemical substances in addition to caffeine to achieve fast results. A number of other brands also have their own formulae for cellulite reducing creams, almost all of which contain caffeine in one form or the other.
If you are affected by cellulite, don't worry. You can choose from the wide range of product options available in the market. Cellulite reducing creams which contain caffeine get absorbed quickly and act fast to reduce cellulite and make your skin look great in very little time.

Third-year head coach Jason Watson has his eyes on a deep run in the NCAA Tournament in 2010. The Sun Devils have senior leadership on both offense and defense with outside hitter Sarah Reaves and libero Sarah Johnson. Reaves, a three-time Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 selection, paced the team with 4.33 kills per set, fifth in the Conference last season. Johnson is the foundation of ASU's defense and led the team in digs for the second straight season (4.03 dps), good for sixth in the Pac-10. ASU returns nearly every player on defense including its top returning blocker in junior Sonja Markanovich, who averaged 1.24 blocks per set. Watson also welcomes one of the best recruiting classes in the nation to Tempe this season.

The first evaluation of player behaviour in ARTournament is done (at least "done" as far as Johnny's Master's Thesis is involved
We always hoped, that by playing, the player would also gain some knowledge about art history … and so it may seem! In the chart below we have plotted the percentage of correct answers per player (as indicated with the player's self-chosen nickname) over five equally long partitions of the number of rounds each player played ARTournament on level 5 "Expert Caravaggio". The baseline is that in every round the player is shown four paintings, one of them being the correct answer … that means, 25% would be the result for continuous guessing. So, we might conclude, that the players got better, the longer they played ARTournament … that's great! Don't mind the occasional drop in the final fifth of the rounds, each of these players have reached the goal of the level long before and still continued to play … so, perhaps they've just lost a little concentration … remember, it's still a game, a casual game to be exact
And, of course, huge congratulations to "Frosch" … you seem to be the true Caravaggio expert (no wonder that you are the only one amongst us, who got this also officially certified
So, keep on playing, the time is definitely not wasted … and we have added a couple of new levels already!
By the way, the final version of Johnny's Master's Thesis on design, implementation, and evaluation of ARTournament is available in our publications section …

Ticks are small parasites – they look a little bit like spiders as they have 8 legs, and they feed on blood.
They do not have wings and they cannot jump. They travel by walking on the ground and up plants from where they latch onto their prey with specially designed hooks on their legs. An unfed tick is approximately 3mm (sesame-seed-size) and small, oval and flat. After a blood meal, a tick can reach 11mm in diameter with the grey/brown body extending out from the back of the thorax.

Hello and welcome back to "TrumpetTravels" - my true accounts of my eleven year career working about the Princess, Carnival, Holland America, Cunard, Costa, P&O, Ocean Village and Royal Caribbean Cruise lines (and more cruises, I think!)
I want to continue my "Alone and Homeless in the Med" story. This is part 7 - click here to start from the beginning: Crew Member Abandoned in Europe. It is worth it to start from the beginning and over the next week I hope to put some links in this story so you can read chronilogically while skipping some of the unrelated blog posts in between stories.
My last blog post saw me at Jim Morrison's grave and staying at the Aloha hostel in Paris - a known English speaking youth hostel.
The clock was ticking and I was scheduled to join Royal Caribbean's "Legend of the Seas" for the summer. The join date was only in a few days, but I didn't want to go back to Barcelona. The internet was in its infancy and there was no easy online hotel system set up yet. I looked at a map and saw a somewhat sizable dot called "Tarragona." I booked my train ticket there.
Arriving in Tarragona at around lunch time I went to the "city" center and searched for a hotel. I found one on top of a bar that said "abierto" but no one was there. I went to the downstairs bar (a different business) and asked about the hotel and the owner of the hotel was there.
She made a big deal that it was lunch time and she wasn't working and I couldn't check in. I begged her to help me out which she reluctantly did. The room was adequate - quite small but cozy. It seemed like it was decorated by someone's grandmother 20 years prior.
Later that night I came back from wandering around and when I turned on the light I saw some cockroaches scatter. At that point I was happy to have a bed and just didn't care!
After checking in I roamed around the city and saw the Roman amphitheater, a few nice churches, the usual. I found a beautiful local restaurant on the sea and was starving. I asked for a recommendation or a special and ended up with a huge local seafood feast. I stayed a while in the empty restaurant. Nobody eats dinner at 6pm in Spain!
The next day was the day I was joining the ship. After 10 days I had survived Europe! I left early in the morning but I couldn't join the ship until the afternoon. I started walking north. The train tracks to Barcelona ran parallel to the sea so at any town I could grab the train anywhere along the way.
I just walked along the sidewalk that was near the water glad that I was going to civilization that day. It was difficult to be in these countries not speaking the language and I was still suffering the effects of sleeping in the bushes a little bit.
Around lunch (10:30am since I was up so early) I was tired of walking for a few hours and went and bought a loaf of bread and some meats and cheeses (don't ask me which ones - I just pointed!) I made a big sandwich and wrapped it up. I kept walking North towards Barcelona wanting to eat on the beach. I was walking up a small hill and to my right noticed a little path that went down about a 120 foot cliff to a beach.
As I partly slid down the path I realized the beach was completely empty and gorgeous! I went to find the perfect spot to sleep a little bit and eat my sandwich. As I walked a little bit on the beach I noticed four people - completely nude! I didn't really care and wanted to give them their privacy so I turned around and found a nice spot. Shortly after I arrived I guess I ruined their spot and they clothed and left. For the next few hours I went swimming and ate and slept and enjoyed myself on my private beach.
Finally I realized the clock was ticking and I got dressed, gathered everything up. I went back up the cliff and walked about 15 minutes to a train station bound for Barcelona. I got out and took the subway to the Lladro shop where I had all my luggage and trumpet and everything was in perfect condition.
Boarding the ship with a few hundred dollars less than when I left the Splendour of the Seas I was worn down, tired, probably didn't smell great, too! Those two nights without a hotel were hopefully the worst I'll experience in my life but the trip gave me some amazing photographs and memories that will last me a lifetime.
As I clock in my desk job every day I look around and realize no one I know has really done anything that crazy and I'm grateful for my 10 days I spent Homeless in the Mediterranean.

The Villain: A How-To Guide
by T.A. Saunders ©2010 v1.0
Too often in role-playing games of any kind when a player chooses to play a confrontational villain role, this character does not live up to its true potential because of a few simple mistakes made while roleplaying said character. Everybody loves a good villain, but it is key to remember that everybody likes to KILL a good villain too. The whole point of having villains involved in role-playing games (and certainly in free form ones) is to give some moral diversity to a game and add a little healthy confrontation.
Player villains can be part of an ongoing channel storyline but don't have to be. A villain's entire objective could be an encapsulating storyline all its own that offers rich role-playing opportunities if one observes some key things about roleplaying them. The guidelines below are some of the biggest flaws in villain characters and how to correct them, so your fellow players will be left scratching their heads trying to figure out what comes next.
Obvious Villain is Obvious: This, by far is the quickest way to get your villain killed or run off early. Disclosing a character is a villain right off the bat is a sure way to attract unwanted attention early. If your character is a murderer, do not introduce him carrying a head with a hatchet, unless your goal as the player is to start a confrontation right off the bat. Let RP unfold where characters are forced to discover important things, like a secret identity or hidden powers. A good villain does not need gimmicks to be a villain. A villain is made by choices, things said and actions taken. If your villain is lurking in the shadows with a bloodied knife and looking at people with murderous intent, you've blown your villain cover (again, unless that's your intent as a player) and thus cannot be surprised when heroes come after them with the intent to kill or apprehend.
In cases where a villain is supposed to be obviously a villain a means to escape an overwhelming set of odds should be wisely incorporated as well. While this may come across as gimmicky, a good villain does not go into a confrontation without some means to escape and will likely not engage in a confrontation unless it is on their terms. Anything from a magic spell, or back-up from thugs, to a clever framing of the would-be heroes can be employed. Even obvious villains have a desire to survive.
Build your character's villainy if you are not playing the obvious villain. Make other characters work hard to find out things but not impossible. A good villain should be able to infiltrate a group of people and get intertwined in their dealings, so it will make it easier for them to conduct acts that will be considered villainous. Obviously most of this is player interpretation, but there are a wide range of things that can be done to write somebody's character a villain.
I AM A VAMPIRE, DEMON, DRAGON, SAIYAN, LICH AND I AM HERE TO DESTROY YOU: While this could be covered in the above information, sometimes people make villains with the intention that they are going to be so unbelievably powerful that nobody will ever want to mess with them once they announce they are something dark, evil and probably indestructible. This fails on two levels:
1. Character power in a free form game is a misnomer; you can write how powerful your character is, tell people OOC how powerful your character is and insist that he/she/it is the scariest thing since mullets, but unless its played out and other players feel that their characters are less powerful and/or agree that your villain could overwhelm them with whatever awesome you, the player came up with? Nobody is going to care and you will have a powerful villain sipping wine in a tavern that nobody is scared of at all. In short, in a free form game, a character's power is based on how other characters see and react to the powerful character, not on player say-so.
2. The villain who announces they are a grave and dangerous threat and should be feared, usually inspires either a dismissive response from other characters, or if annoying enough, a direct confrontation that ends with the superbad villain being driven off, slain or apprehended somehow.
The important thing to remember about playing a powerful villain is the same thing a player should remember about playing a powerful anything; power does not make the character. People want to know the story of the character and through that story, a sense of power can be conveyed. A classic example is Dracula; he didn't start out as a powerful vampire, he started out as a knight who was driven mad with grief when his beloved bride killed herself. The story of that transition and what Dracula did to become what he is, creates the villain we understand him to be. Tell the story, don't tell self-perceived notions.
Just Because a Hero Can Do it, Does Not Mean a Hero Can Do it to the Villain: Villains know people want to arrest, kill, maim and make them pay for
all the evil little things they have done. Knowing this, a good villain goes to great lengths to make sure he/she/it will not be automatically detected by the paladin sitting in the corner that could sense an undead cockroach five miles away. Denying that a hero can detect what/who your villain is or what their intentions are, is a choice of the player of the villain, NOT the player of the hero or heroes. Too often, villains that are otherwise well thought out get revealed by somebody playing a character that insists that they can detect evil on other planets regardless what defenses that villain has, or the werewolf/furry character that insists they can smell undead 5,000 miles away and is never wrong.
These detection powers other characters are bound to have can be foiled any number of ways. Wearing perfume or cologne will make smelling the undead for were-folk and furries very difficult. Utilizing various alchemical powders or magical powders could yield a similar result. Got a pesky paladin or some all-seeing wizard twit? It is entirely possible, without going overboard with the character concept to gain some sort of ward, or trinket or have learned some sort of talent to counter such things. In a free form role-playing game, the possibilities are endless, without being ridiculous ly over-overpowering. The important thing to remember when creating a villain is, the villain knows he or she is going to be hunted sooner or later.
Villains Always (Try) to use the Terrain and the Situation to Their Advantage: No villain walks into a crowded room full of people that will potentially want to blast them to meaty bits without knowing the lay of the land and have some idea how to escape should the odds go against him or her. Even the most powerful villain can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers and without a plan of escape, you will likely end up with the One Night Stand Villain that goes out in a crispy glory or ends up in jail for the rest of their foreseeable futures.
Villains may challenge, or show bravado against the heroes around them but that is almost always to lure the heroes into a trap or a deception. A good villain might also wait till the heroes are involved in something important to them, before springing their trap or hatching their plan. When using the terrain and the situation to their advantage, the villain can do things like lure the hapless victim away while heroes are engaged in another matter, or poison the drink of the important politician while heroes are busy laughing and being joyous. And if they get caught doing these dastardly things? The villain knows where the back door is, or has magic ready to affect an escape.
Simply launching your villain's plot, without paying attention to both of these things is a sure way to end up with a dead villain quickly. Along this vein, do not be afraid to organize side-channels for playing things out that should not be in the open for other players to see. If you have a mutually consenting player that wants to be a victim or people that want to go along with the scenario, don't be afraid to move things out of the main channel and let the heroes find out about things after the fact. The villain heroes have to chase is a much more interesting villain.
Villains Do Not Want Heroes to Know Things: One of the major flaws people make when playing a villain is the villain reveals their villainous intentions too early. People asking too many questions about what a villain is up to, are likely heroes looking to see if the villain is a stupid villain. A good villain will not carry around his or her Doomsday Weapon under their cloak and let the hero have a peek at it so the hero can research the Doomsday Weapon and find something to counter it. A good villain may drop a few hints here and there, or engage in misinformation, but giving themselves away isn't being a villain, it's being a stupid villain that probably won't have a long career as a villain.
Play the mystery. Villains are fun because they present an aspect of the unknown that other players do not have direct control over. They are the unseen menace that chooses to reveal him or herself at the time of their choosing and to the greatest possible damage. A villain controls the flow of information about them and the flow of information people reveal about him or her through whatever means necessary. Make players work for every last crumb of information they get.
Villains Don't Always Have a Plan: Some villains create an intricate masterwork of a plan to foil, befuddle and confuse heroes into any number of situations but this is not the written law. Some villains were just born bad and want to cause strife and have no clear and obtainable objective other than to watch the world upend onto itself. Villains like this do not need a motivation, other than self-gratification. This does not mean they do not consider how advantageous doing a certain vile deed at a certain time might be, but rather they simply have no reason to do it, other than to do it.
However, it is entirely acceptable for a villain to have a confusing and intricate plan. Some villains are masterminds and should take every opportunity to turn heroes against each other, or make them serve the villains wishes unknowingly or unwittingly. These sorts of villains go the extra mile to remain elusive and to keep their plans ambiguous. Both types of villains are valid, however execution is everything. A villain that causes chaos in a situation that really doesn't breed any chaos, comes across as obnoxious and not really a villain. A mastermind villain that has an intricate plot, but does nothing to entrap the heroes comes across a brooding emo, and not a villain.
Hopefully these tips will be helpful in allowing players to construct survivable villains that will be both enjoyable to play and enjoyable to play against. As with any sort of free form role-play, it is critical to focus on the story you, the player are trying to tell and not get over-burdened with powers, talents, feats. Worry about those things after you understand your villain's motives, goals and aspirations. Most importantly, have fun being bad!

Issues that often develop for companions and caregivers include the following.
Diagnosis. Diagnosis can be a very stressful and emotional time for the patient and those people who stand beside him.
Treatment. Treatment can be a long and challenging process. Simply becoming aware of the treatment options and then making a decision can be overwhelming in itself. What is your role in treatment decisions and inhis course of treatment?
Living with prostate cancer. You may not have cancer in your body, yet you are experiencing cancer. You experience the stress, uncertainty, and anxiety just like he does, and this affects your body's well-being, too. How do you cope with the uncertainty and the interruption in your life?
Recovery. Every patient hopes for recovery. After prostate cancer, how do you return to "normal"? Has "normal" changed? What about your relationship? Your outlook? Your hopes?
Advanced disease. Sometimes recovery is not possible, and the cancer progresses. Sadly, for some, thoughts of recovery turn to questions of palliative care and hospice. How do you respond to these decisions and make peace with the potential outcome?
Six Tips for Caregivers
If you are faced with these issues and are feeling overwhelmed when confronting a prostate cancer diagnosis, what can you do as a companion or caregiver? Consider these six tips:
Learn about prostate cancer and the treatments your loved one is undergoing.
For more information on prostate cancer from the caregivers perspective, visit Us Too International at www.ustoo.org. Us TOO recognizes the vitally important role that spouses, partners, companions, and family members play in the overall well-being and longevity of prostate cancer patients as well as how important functioning as a team can be.

FixCam: Republicans Debate in Myrtle Beach
Six of the seven Republican candidates still standing will gather in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina tonight for the 1,567,000th debate of this primary season. (NOTE: That is a rough estimate.)
Coverage of the 90-minute debate begins at 9 p.m. on the Fox News Channel. We'll be offering analysis live on The Fix.
But, to hold you over until then, we offer up our take on the three candidates to watch tonight:
* John McCain: Now the old/new "hot" candidate in the race, the Arizona Senator got the win he needed in New Hampshire and is hoping to build on that momentum with a win next Tuesday in Michigan and next Saturday in the South Carolina. To do that he needs a strong showing in tonight's debate. Expect McCain to remind voters of his military service -- the state is heavy with current and former military men and women -- as well as his early support for the Iraq surge proposal. McCain is likely to come under fire for his support earlier this year of a comprehensive immigration reform measure that is anathema to many Republicans in South Carolina. While McCain has a ready answer -- "I got the message" -- it's not a topic he wants to spend much of tonight's debate discussing.
* Mike Huckabee: Once the star of the debate circuit, the former Arkansas governor has lost some of his shine. Huckabee's task tonight is to show voters that he is more than just rhetoric and one-liners; he needs to show that he is up to the job and has the serious policy vision to lead the country. Given the number of evangelical voters in South Carolina, Huckabee would also do well to remind voters of his faith and his background in the ministry. To win in South Carolina, Huckabee will need to replicate the surge of evangelical voters that propelled him to victory in Iowa. That effort starts in earnest tonight.
* Fred Thompson: The former Tennessee Senator is in a do or die situation in South Carolina. After a third-place showing in Iowa and a sixth-place performance in New Hampshire, Thompson needs a top-three finish in South Carolina to remain viable in the race. Emphasizing the importance of the South Carolina to his hopes, Thompson is in the midst of an extended bus tour through the state. Thompson has been inconsistent in the debates to date but, if he wants to have a serious chance at building momentum over the final nine days in South Carolina contest, he must show voters why he is the clear, conservative choice tonight. That means aggressively drawing contrasts with both Huckabee and McCain throughout the debate rather than simply dashing off one-liners from time to time.

Alma Morales Riojas, the president of MANA, a national Latina advocacy organization, wrote a strongly worded letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking them to investigate Herbalife. (via FT Alphaville)
In the MANA letter, Riojas says that Herbalife uses a "deceptive claim" by making "unattainable promises of wealth and success."
What's more is she writes that she has witnessed this firsthand.
"On a personal level, I believe they prey on our most vulnerable, and I have seen some of my own friends in my home state of Texas fall victim to these terrible practices."
There's no mention of "pyramid scheme" in the letter, though.
Herbalife, a multi-level marketing firm that sells nutrition products, is the company that has been at the center of a heated hedge fund war.
Bill Ackman, who runs Pershing Square Capital, publicly declared in December that he's shorting $1 billion worth of the stock because he believes Herbalife is a "pyramid scheme" that targets lower income people, especially from the Hispanic population.
A number of hedge fund managers, including his arch nemesis Carl Icahn, have piled on by going massively long the stock. Icahn thinks Ackman will be the victim of the "mother of all short squeezes."
Still, Ackman has stood by his thesis. He thinks regulators, particularly the FTC, will be persuaded to investigate the company.
Here's the letter (emphasis ours):
Dear Chairwoman Ramirez,
The principle mission of MANA - A Latina Organization, is to support and empower Latinas through leadership development, community service and advocacy. MANA's membership is wide ranging from young up- and- coming middle school Latinas who want to make a difference to 70 year old- plus "abuelitas" who have advocated for their communities their whole lives.Together, we have proudly served the Latino community for almost forty years, providing and expanding access to educational, health, and leadership opportunities.
As our economy continues to experience steady but slow progress, we understand first hand our community's desire to seek out reliable, alternative ways to supplement their incomes. Furthermore, as a woman of color and the past national executive director of Federally Employed Women, Inc., a nonprofit working to improve the status of women employed by the Federal government, I am well aware of the punishing wage gap that many Latinas in this country face. These wage gaps can cost Latinas critical income annually that could be better used to help meet their families' daily fundamental needs. This is why I write today, to urge the Commission to conduct a full investigation of the multi-level marketing company Herbalife and their deceptive business practices and abuses.
Herbalife is very popular among Latinas throughout the U.S. and throughout Latin America, and has historically won distributors over with the guarantee of an exciting business opportunity, by making unattainable promises of wealth and success. Herbalife claims it is both a product company and a business opportunity, but clearly this is a deceptive claim since the majority of Herbalife distributors make little or no income. According to Herbalife's own 2012 data, 88 percent of their participants received no payments from the company at all. I firmly believe this company benefits mainly from its far reaching network of hierarchically organized independent sales people, who recruit others and in turn make a profit off of them. On a personal level, I believe they prey on our most vulnerable, and I have seen some of my own friends in my home state of Texas fall victim to these terrible practices.
As a community, Latinas are always looking for ways to advance, get ahead, support our families and achieve our own piece of the American dream. There have been far too many troubling claims about Herbalife this year and with more conflicting issues continuing to come up, we strongly encourage the Commission to carry out a full investigation and thoroughly examine this company's practices as soon as possible. An investigation like this will serve an educational tool for many of our organization's members and their families who may have fallen prey to these schemes in the past.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Alma Morales Riojas President and CEO MANA, A National Latina Organization

Boston or Big Sur?
As soon as the calendar turns to April, the dreams of marathon runners take flight. Springtime marathons are marquee events in all the greatest cities in the world: Boston, London, Paris, and of course, Carmel.
Yes, our hometown event ranks right up there with the most highly respected marathons in the world. Runners from every state and all corners of the globe come to the Monterey Peninsula to run the Big Sur Marathon on the last Sunday in April.
Likewise, it's nearly every marathoner's dream to run the famed Boston Marathon, traditionally held on Patriot's Day, a Massachusetts holiday observed on the third Monday of April. In 2009, as most other years, the Boston Marathon is a mere six days before Big Sur. Therefore, local runners face a dilemma each spring in deciding which marathon to attend.
Honestly, you can't go wrong with either choice – and for a handful of hardy (feel free to substitute crazy) local runners, the decision is too agonizing, so they just do both. This year the two of us are doing split duty: Mike will join about 15 other Central Coast runners who are running at Boston on April 20th, and Donald will stay home to run Big Sur six days later. Although both races are world-class events, the experiences we will take away from each will undoubtedly be quite different.
Big Sur will always be our favorite. It's our hometown marathon. We know how much time is donated by local volunteers and how hard everyone involved with the race works to ensure its success. It's an opportunity for friendly competition with our friends on one of the most challenging courses in the world. The scenery is breathtaking, and it's the only day of the year that it's safe to run on Highway 1. Big Sur has been voted the best marathon in North America by several publications.
No other marathon can compete with the sights and sounds of the Big Sur Marathon (as we'll describe in two weeks) – so why would locals go anywhere else? Only the allure and history of Boston can occasionally take us away from home.
Simply put, Boston is the most famous and prestigious marathon in the world. Running there is like playing baseball in Yankee Stadium, golf at Augusta National, tennis at Wimbledon, or driving at the Brickyard – while competing right alongside the professionals. Boston has more history - over 110 years worth – and attracts more talented runners than any other footrace. Runners are required to meet qualifying standards in order to enter, so participation in the race is considered an honor by all marathoners. Best of all, the entire city goes marathon crazy and treats every athlete like a star for the entire weekend.
In addition, Mike has extra incentive to travel east: his son Bryan lives in Boston and will also be running the marathon. It's going to be a father-son dual for family bragging rights.
The choice between Boston and Big Sur is always tough – and next year, the temptation to do both races will be greater than ever. For Big Sur's 25th presentation in April of 2010, there will be a special "Boston to Big Sur" challenge. Any runner who does both marathons will receive a special award, jacket, and recognition on race day. If you're someone who likes to experience the best of both worlds, maybe you can join them.

PlayStation®3 Systems FAQs
We thought you might ask
The core functionality of the PS3™ remains the same. The PS3™ still comes with a high-definition Blu-ray player, hard drive, Wi-Fi, and 2 USB ports.
Compared to the very first PS3™ model with 60GB HDD, the PS3™ 120/250GB systems' internal volume as well as its thickness and weight are trimmed down to approximately two-thirds. Furthermore, power consumption is also cut to two-thirds, helping to reduce fan noise. While inheriting the sleek curved body design of the original model, the form factor of the 120/250GB PS3™ systems feature a meticulous design with a textured surface finish.
The frontline games are still priced at $59.99 and Greatest Hits titles are priced at $29.99.
In addition to the Satin Silver DUALSHOCK®3 controller, we launched Metallic Blue and Deep Red DUALSHOCK®3 controllers.
A Vertical Stand launched only for use with the new PS3™ 120/250GB systems. This stand is required for stability when placing the new PS3™ 120/250GB systems in the vertical position.
The 80GB PlayStation®3 system was available in North America (U.S. and Canada) in August 2008.
The 160GB PlayStation®3 system was available in North America (U.S. and Canada) in November 2008.
The 160GB PS3™ system model has a 160GB hard disk drive (HDD). This is twice the capacity of the 80GB PS3™ system model. Both the 80GB and 160GB PS3™ system models come standard with Cell Broadband Engine™ (Cell/B.E.), Blu-ray Disc™ (BD) player, built-in HDD, 1080p high-definition output, Wi-Fi connectivity, two USB ports and the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller.
You can connect a high-speed, USB-certified hub*.
*Commercially available high-speed, USB-certified hubs sold separately.
The Cell Broadband Engine is the digital soul behind the PlayStation®3 system. Years in the making, engineers from Sony, SCEI, IBM, and Toshiba have developed an advanced microprocessor unlike any other. The Cell Broadband Engine has up to eight Synergistic Processor Units (SPUs) or "cores" to help balance the processor workload thus making it more powerful and more efficient than traditional "single-core" processors. Breakthroughs in fidelity, believability, and hyper-reality enabled by the raw power of the Cell Broadband Engine processor provide limitless experiences.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface* (HDMI) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, an A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor such as a digital television.
*HDMI cable not included. Additional equipment may be required to use the HDMI connector.
The SIXAXIS™ motion-sensing system found in the PlayStation®3 allows users to maneuver the controller as a natural extension of their bodies. With this system, sensors read when a player angles, tilts, thrusts, or pulls the controller, all in real-time and with high precision. The SIXAXIS technology is found in both the SIXAXIS™ wireless controller and the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller.
The PlayStation®3 hard disk drive is removable and upgradeable. You can upgrade the hard drive by removing it and replacing it with a larger-capacity drive.

Blu-ray (BD) is the next-generation media format that delivers the ultimate high-definition* entertainment experience. Just like the DVD format offered a technological leap over CDs, Blu-ray Disc is the next leap forward in the natural advancement of data storage and digital entertainment.
Facts about Blu-ray Disc:
With Blu-ray Disc, the PlayStation®3 system offers game developers unprecedented power to express their creativity and a larger canvas to create a level of interaction, sophistication, and reality that has never existed in gaming. As a result, consumers can experience a whole new generation of high-definition gaming.

New Moon from Edward's POV, starting from when he leaves Bella in the forest.
This is my first attempt at fan fiction. Being so inspired by what I have read I wanted to try.Because I did not finish this, before the release of Breaking Dawn, and am in fact still working on the last chapters, I debated whether to submit this at all. I did not want others to think I was playing off Breaking Dawn. I really loved the last book of the series and now wanted to finish my own poor offering.
In any case, this is what I envision would happen to conclude the story of Bella and Edward.
DISCLAIMER: The characters are those created by, and belonging to Stephenie Meyer, and I offer a huge thank you to her for her vision of Twilight, and for sharing that vision with all of us.
This is my own vision of where the story might go, and any similarity to Stephenie Meyer's work, as well as any copy write violation, is completely coincidental, and unintentional.
CHANGE OF CATEGORY: Well as it turns out, some of the content of my story, requires it to be listed in the AU category. Sorry for the confusion. But thanks for reading.

Edward was left heartbroken and six years later, he still can't get over her.
What happens when fate intervenes and forces the very thing that broke him back into his life?
Bella, Alice and Rosalie have just finished college and are headed off to the Caribean for a singles cruise.

Ever since Adam Rose made hit debut on the main roster a few months ago, the WWE Universe have been fascinated by The Bunny.
The Bunny is one of Rose's Rosebuds and only a few weeks after Rose had debuted, the Bunny began helping him to win matches and suddenly social media was buzzing because everyone wanted to know who was under the bunny head.
The story seems to have taken a wild turn as of late, because after R-Truth told Adam that The Bunny was getting more recognition than him, he has become jealous and The Bunny has been costing him matches as well.
Last week on Smackdown The Bunny cost Rose him match against R-Truth and it looked Rse had had enough, he climbed out of the ring and shoved the bunny to the ground, before calling on dancing with the other Rosebuds.
This then continued on Raw when The Bunny tried to help Adam by climbing the top rope, but the distraction allowed Tyson Kidd to lock in The Sharpeshooter for the win. After the match Rose again attacked The Bunny before leaving the ring in high spirits.

- New WWE star Adam Rose's debut lived up to the hype
The relationship between these two seems to have broken down and after the latest problems, it looks like WWE are pencilling in a match between them at next weekend's Survivor Series pay-per-view, with many anticipating that the Bunny could finally be unmasked.
Who is The Bunny?
The early rumours were that The Bunny was infact Zack Ryder, but given his recent injury, he would be able to be back in time for next week's pay-per-view so WWE may have to go in another direction.
Sami Zayn was another name that was mentioned, along with Darren Young, who is building up to a WWE return, and Sami could be ready for his main roster debut, but either way, WWE obviously wants to add some comedy to one of the biggest nights of the year because The Bunny is all about making the fans laugh.
It's hard to predict the outcome of this one with The Bunny looking quite scared of Rose whenever he attacks him and then looking like he has some decent offence when he is needed in the ring. Either way, this is set to be a decent feud and hopefully whoever's under the mask will give the Universe a big surprise.

Life in HR: Learning Resources
Learning and professional growth are key to a career at the CIA. Following initial orientation, new employees can expect to invest considerable time learning the skills needed to perform their jobs. They continue acquiring new skills and knowledge as the world changes and their careers progress. The CIA also sponsors employee participation in professional conferences, academic courses, and vendor-taught workshops.
CIA University, the learning hub of the CIA, equips employees with the shared values, commitment to the mission, knowledge, and the excellence in intelligence tradecraft and leadership needed to accomplish extraordinary tasks in service to our nation. The schools under CIAU, partnered with the broader National Intelligence University, provide a wide variety of training and educational opportunities in which CIA officers develop new ways to frame the world in support of national security initiatives.
Course offerings evolve as threats and challenges in the world emerge and change. Today there are classes focused on the terrorist threat, critical regions of the world, weapons of mass destruction, foreign language training, and proliferation to name just a few. These classes take place in tandem with classes on more general topics such as information technology, project management, the Intelligence Community, and communication skills.
CIA employees deployed to the field benefit from traditional classroom instruction as well as cutting-edge, online, and mobile learning technologies. An officer serving abroad may find himself/herself in a video teleconference for training on a new financial management tool, engaging in an interactive online course on biological weapons, or listening to a foreign language podcast to improve language skills. As employees advance and take on greater responsibility, they have access to world-class management and advanced leadership training in key occupational and substantive areas often sitting side-by-side with their counterparts from other Intelligence Community agencies.
The world of intelligence is increasingly complex, making continuous learning an imperative. A robust set of thought provoking and engaging educational opportunities are available to meet the need, all specially designed to position CIA employees for mission success.

Rihanna Wears See-Through Shorts [Photos]
Rihanna wore something see-through? No! Never! Not Rihanna. Stop us if you've heard this one before.
Rihanna donned a white mesh outfit that was totally see-through. Yes, she wore a white bra underneath and huge, architectural white sunglasses and chalky matte lipstick. So what's the big deal, since the 'Stay' songstress is known for daring to bare...all the time?
It's those bottoms. WTF? We're not sure if she's commando or not. You can't tell because of the camel toe-like shorts.
There's no accounting for taste...
...and in this case, Ri has none of dat.

Gemma Baber is a graduate textile design graduate from Norwich University of the Arts.
'I am extremely interested in colour, texture and creating original, hand rendered work. I have been a keen painter since a very young age, choosing to study Art and Design throughout school into A-Level and Foundation courses. It was whilst studying my Foundation course that I discovered a strong interest in textiles, particularly within print. My experiences at Norwich University of the Arts over the past three years have allowed me to learn, develop and refine what I am able to do, pushing boundaries within hand printed fabrics.'
'My degree show collection 'The Coastal Collection' showcases the skills and knowledge I now have, going into the industry. The collection is inspired by the vast eroding coastlines around Suffolk and Norfolk, exploring various coastal elements. I have developed a unique way of working using open screens which allows me to work very spontaneously onto fabric. I am able to create a wide range of textural effects using paper stencils, resist methods and various mark making tools. I also use Devore techniques to strip down areas of fabric adding more texture, variety and interest to the beautiful, supple silk I have used. What excites me the most about the process of using open screens is the element of surprise through playing and experimenting and that nothing I do will be the same twice. This means that the fabrics I have created in the collection are all individual and bespoke pieces.'
'I'm looking forward to gaining industry experience within textile print for fashion but would also love to grab opportunities to work on my own, personal projects in open print rooms to develop further collections and a name. I am excited to see where I can go, what experiences I can gain and to learn from the textile industry, grabbing as many opportunities as possible. This June I shall also be exhibiting at New Designer in London, which I am looking forward to immensely.'

Visiting Hong Kong
Isabella came back from summer camp on August 15 and very much enjoyed a couple of weeks in Portola, CA together with new friends as well as the ones she made last year. 2015 was the last year she could participate so small traces of sadness but some of them are also off to boarding school, so we're sure they will stay in contact and compare notes.
Once back Libby had organized an little party for Isabella and quite a few of her Saint Catherine's friends showed up for some pizza and to catch up with what had happened over summer. All but Isabella were back in school and the little group of 36 students that followed each other for years are now spread all over the peninsula including San Francisco.
Olivia and John took Adriana to Las Vegas early August for her to experience all the craziness. She (obviously) loved every minute of it. Olivia and Adriana went to see Le Rêve at Wynn and fully enjoyed the show while John was busy taking a light painting class in Nelson 40 miles outside Las Vegas. Of other highlights that week was the High Roller observation wheel. It stands 550 feet (168 meter) tall and it's 30 later by the time you get back down to the platform.
Pia is having a good time at Burlingame High School and on the cheer team. They performed this past Friday during the football game – as did Bella's team – and Pia is enjoying it. Bella is currently delivering the news broadcast at the school. We uploaded the inaugurate newscast to our Vimeo account.
John and Ella spent the past weekend in Hong Kong getting a little time together before school starts. It's a such a great place and although compact it still offers lots of diversity. They spent a couple of days in and around the city and made it Lantau to see Big Buddha – one of the largest outdoor buddhas in the world as well of Temple of 10,000 buddhas. What was meant to be a hike turned into a bus ride when heavy rain got in the way. They purchased a couple of umbrellas and continued semi-dry while the monks making their way up to the buddha got absolutely soaked.
The weekend prior to Hong Kong Olivia, Adriana and John spent a couple of days in Carmel Valley. It remains one of their favorite places on the planet. A Sunday morning hike brought sightings of 20+ whales feeding very close to the shore and the short hike ended up taking almost three hours with all the stops.

Antibodies for researching proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics, fusion-division cycle, mitophagy and the mitochondrial division machinery
The "SnapShot from Cell Press: Mitochondrial Dynamics" poster describes the mitochondrial fusion-division cycle, specifically the mammalian and yeast fusion machinery and the division machinery in mammals, yeast and algae.
Request a copy
The poster highlights the importance of an intact mitochondrial fusion-division cycle, demonstrating how alterations result in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's, and neuropathies, such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A. Mutations in the mitofusion proteins and GTPases, Mfn1 and Mfn2 are primarily responsible for the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A disease in mammals. Autosomal dominant optic atrophy type 1 on the other hand is caused by mutations in Opa1 (a dynamin related GTPase), while mutations in GDAP1 (Ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1) result in Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4A disease.
Aberrant ubiquitination patterns, especially when caused by mutations in the Parkin RING-finger E3 ubiquitin ligase, play a critical role in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases (Chan et al. 2011). Parkin, as the name implies, is associated with the development of Parkinson's disease. Accordingly, it mediates the "degradation of dysfunctional mitochondria by autophagy" through K-48 mediated ubiquitination (Chan et al. 2011). Parkin substrates include Mfn1 and Mfn2 as well as apoptosis related proteins such as Bak and Bax (Chan et al. 2011, Johnson et al. 2012).
In order to make it easier for you to select reagents for mitochondrial dynamics research, we have grouped antibodies against the critical proteins mentioned on the poster in a convenient selector tool. These include our range of anti-ubiquitin antibodies that enable you to distinguish between free ubiquitin and mono- and polyubiquitinated proteins.
Chan NC et al. (2011). Broad activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system by Parkin is critical for mitophagy. Human Molecular Genetics 1:20(9):1726-37.

Religion has always been central to the functions of Western music. Yet considering the role of the Bible in Western religions, it is surprising how little use has been made of authentic biblical passages as texts for music, relative to other sources; most of the words frequently set are, at best, paraphrases. Aside from music to accompany ritual (which has its own texts), one reason for this may be the poor reputation traditionally enjoyed by musicians. Regarded as persons of dubious morals, and theatres-their habitats-as dens of vice, artists were viewed as inappropriate vehicles for the propagation of The Message.
But the Bible is rich in poetry. The Old Testament's Songs of Moses, of Deborah, of Hannah; the Book of Lamentations, the Song of Songs, and especially the Psalms; in the New Testament, such passages as the Beatitudes and the Our Father lend themselves so naturally to music that throughout the centuries there have always been composers who appropriate these texts-if nothing else, they are not protected by copyright-for their poetic value alone or as a universal way to express personal or communal sentiments.
We begin with Bach, who, as it happens, set few if any Bible texts directly. The B-minor Mass aside, he wrote functional music for specific occasions; his cantatas were commentaries on the readings for the day. But Bach is such a pillar of Western music that to omit him from our collection solely on account of the provenance of his texts would misrepresent our sources. The two Chorales are typical examples of his style, products of his Leipzig years of full maturity.
Schubert, dying young, never had a chance to attain such maturity. He composed his setting of the most popular of all Psalms in 1820 for a friend who was heading a new singing school in Vienna, using the German translation by Moses Mendelssohn (grandfather of Felix). The angelic voices of the women's choir may suggest images of Heaven, but the music's function was far more prosaic: this is an examination piece.
Arvo Pärt is a Schubert for our own time. The composer of Estonia's first twelve-tone works, his route out of the cul-de-sac of modernism was an exploration of medieval and Renaissance masters, and of acoustics, resulting in music he calls Tintinnabuli: "Here I am alone with silence. I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played. This one note, or a silent beat, or a moment of silence, comforts me... I build with the most primitive materials-with the triad, with one specific tonality. The three notes of the triad are like bells. And that is why I called it tintinnabulation."
Pärt's Christianity is at the forefront of most of his recent music. In this he is similar to Bach and to many previous composers (but not to Schubert, who doubted). For Leonard Bernstein, Judaism was not only an integral part of the Self, it was part of the uniqueness, the Difference-in all things-that was crucial to his identity. His rejection of the advice of his mentor, Serge Koussevitzky (himself an apostate Jew), that he change his name to Leonard S. Burns as a way to get ahead in an anti-Semitic world was not only an assertion of pride in his origins but a rejection of the suburban normality that "Burns" (as opposed to Anything-stein) represented. And so when he received a commission in 1965 for a work to be sung by the combined choirs of Winchester, Salisbury and Chichester cathedrals in England, it was natural for him, though it may seem strange to us, to compose a setting of Psalms in their original Hebrew.
The American composer Jack Gottlieb spent a number of years as Bernstein's assistant and editor, absorbing some influences along the way but also discovering his own independence as a composer: less self-consciously different, less jazzy, more influenced by American vernacular music, by the Blues, and by Reform synagogue rituals. His setting of Psalm 23 (one of three that we perform this evening, in three languages) is excerpted from a larger, five-movement work entitled Psalmistry.
In Bach's Passion settings, the Chorale serves the purpose of conveying the community's response to events in the story. For Michael Tippett, composing a mid-twentieth-century equivalent to a Passion in which the One who suffers for our sins is He who fights Nazi tyranny, the search for a structural equivalent to Bach's chorales led to the American Negro spiritual: also a communal utterance born of pain, but containing a germ of optimism.
And so, in this evening's survey of Transitions-Baroque to Post-Modern, Old to New Testament, Old to New Worlds-to Leo? Janá?ek. A Moravian, born in the interstices between Czechs and Slovaks, his life spanned the dying Austro-Hungarian empire and the nascent Czechoslovak state just as his career fell between the death of musical common practice and the birth of twentieth-century eclecticism. Like Schubert he was a church-avoider whose sacred works tell us more about him than about religion. For Janá?ek the bread in the Our Father is indeed daily fare, not the consecrated wafer of the Eucharist. And thus he is a fitting candidate to close our concert of earthy music set to heavenly texts.
