About Thomas Scott Baldwin
Thomas Scott Baldwin (June 30, 1854 – May 17, 1923) was a pioneer balloonist and U.S. Army major during World War I. He was the first American to descend from a balloon by parachute.
Early career
He was born on June 30, 1854 to Jane and Samuel Yates Baldwin. He worked as a brakeman on the Illinois railroad, then joined a circus working as an acrobat. In 1875 he started an act combining trapeze and a hot air balloon. On January 30, 1885 he made one of the earliest recorded parachute jumps from a balloon.
Powered balloons
In 1900, Baldwin created a motorized balloon. He used a motorcycle engine built by Glenn Hammond Curtiss and an aerodynamic cigar-shaped, hydrogen filled, balloon. He created the dirigible "California Arrow", which underwent the first controlled circular flight in America on August 3, 1904. The aircraft was piloted by Roy Knabenshue at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. The Army Signal Corps paid him $10,000 for a dirigible that could be used for sustained and controlled navigation. Baldwin created a dirigible that was 95 feet (29 m) long and powered by a new, more powerful Curtiss engine. The Army bought it and designated its first dirigible "SC-I" (Signal Corps Dirigible Number 1). Baldwin picked up the sobriquet: "Father of the American Dirigible." He received the Aero Club of America's first balloon pilot certificate.
In 1910 Baldwin designed his own airplane, and it was built by Glenn Hammond Curtiss. It used a 25 horsepower (19 kW), four-cylinder Curtiss engine that was later replaced by a Curtiss V-8 engine.
On September 10, 1910 Baldwin made history with the first airplane flight over the Mississippi River. The St. Louis flight started just east of Bellefontaine Cemetery. Baldwin and his Red Devil plane took off at 5:11 p.m. 200,000 citizens lined the riverfront on both sides to watch the red biplane fly from the north St. Louis field and land in Illinois across the river from Arsenal Street. On the return flight, the aviator astounded the crowds by flying under both the Eads and McKinley bridges at fifty miles per hour. Baldwin landed at 6:05 back at his starting place.
Baldwin flew it at an air meet in Kansas City, Missouri, on October 7, 1910 and October 8, 1910 then took his airplane to Belmont, New York. He put together a company of aerial performers including J.C. "Bud" Mars and Tod Shriver in December 1910 and toured countries in Asia, making the first airplane flights in many of those locations. The troupe returned to the United States in the spring of 1911.

When he returned from the Pacific tour, Baldwin began testing a new airplane at Mineola, New York. The new aircraft was similar to the basic Curtiss Pusher design but was constructed of steel tubing instead of wood. The aircraft was constructed by C. and A. Wittemann of Staten Island, New York, and was powered by a 60 horsepower (45 kW), Hall-Scott V-8. It was capable of 60 mph (97 km/h). Baldwin named his new aircraft the "Red Devil III", and thereafter each of his designs would be called a "Baldwin Red Devil". Tony Jannus flew actress Julia Bruns in a Red Devil on October 12, 1913, in a New York Times Derby.
In 1914 he returned to dirigible design and development, and built the U.S. Navy's first successful dirigible, the DN-I. He began training airplane pilots and managed the Curtiss School at Newport News, Virginia. One of his students was Billy Mitchell, who would later become an advocate of American military air power.
When the United States entered the World War I, Baldwin volunteered his services to the United States Army. He was commissioned a captain in the Aviation Section, U. S. Signal Corps and appointed Chief of Army Balloon Inspection and Production. Consequently, he personally inspected every lighter-than-air craft built for and used by the Army during the war. He was promoted to the rank of major during the war.
After the war, he joined the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio, as a designer and manufacturer of their airships.
He died on May 17, 1923, in Buffalo, New York, at the age of 69. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.

Holladay • There was one minute left, and Olympus was in a full-court press, trying desperately to claw out any hope that still existed of a comeback. But Davis passed nimbly, once then twice, to break the defense and find a two-on-one heading the other way.
Elijah Kletzki cut from the far-side wing as the play developed, and the pass from Tony Feick found him in stride — two steps, then the leap. The senior center's one-handed dunk rattled the backboard, sending the Davis bench springing from their seats.
Davis 83, Olympus 68
O Elijah Kletzki's game-high 27 points lead the Darts to a nonregion road win.
» Titans Jake Lindsey and Alec Monson combine for 41 in the loss.
Join the Discussion | |
Post a Comment |
After the remaining seconds ticked off the clock, the Darts in dominant fashion had claimed an 83-68 road win over the previously undefeated Titans.
The outcome, in truth, already had been decided before the dunk — the points were inconsequential. But the message the slam sent loomed large. To cap the fourth leg of a preseason gantlet designed to test whether Davis has mettle, the Darts were providing an emphatic answer.
"We bring on those challenges," said star guard Jesse Wade, who finished with 25 points. "When we get into region and the state tournament, there shouldn't really be anything we haven't faced. We should know what kind of team we are this season because of all the good teams we're playing."
After a season-opening loss at Alta, the Darts now have won three in a row, over Salem Hills, Brighton and Olympus, the latter two coming on the road. And the schedule doesn't ease up, with games against Bingham, Judge Memorial and Roy upcoming, any of which the Darts could lose if they play subpar — or even if they don't.
Darts coach Jay Welk complied the schedule in hopes his team would find an identity early. He believes they have.
"The only thing I probably would do differently is I wouldn't play so many on the road," Darts coach Welk said, laughing, of the preseason schedule. "It's just a tough thing. But it gives you some idea where you're at as a team. You want to have a good feel for who you are."
It was clear on Tuesday who the Darts were. They were a team with a killer instinct.
After Titans stars Jake Lindsey and Alec Monson heated up to cut an early Davis lead to two in the third quarter, the Darts responded.

They countered with Wade, whose quick slashes to the basket got him to the line 16 times, and with Kletzki. The senior in previous seasons had been buried on the depth chart, but he now is flourishing with extended playing time. He had a game-high 27 points and 11 rebounds against the Titans
Kletzki's teammates say they aren't surprised at his production, and they believe the way he complements their talented backcourt has been a large reason the Darts have responded so well to the tough schedule.
"Elijah is one of the hardest workers you'll ever see," guard Abel Porter said. "He's got a great jump shot and he's confident around the basket. You would have thought he's been starting since his freshman year out there. He's a great player."

its so scary. anyways i am a christian who lives on the east coast of the united states. I get sleep paralysis once a month (typically).
It is always a dark, shadowy figure. I feel as tho it wears a large dark hood, but im not really sure because i cant lift my head up to really look.
The one thing i have done to help breal the paralysis is to focus all your energy (i know its hard but this has happened to me for over 15 years now so ive gotten good at breaking it) but focus ALL ALL ALL of your energy on a finger. With all the strength of this focus, just TRY TRY TRY to bend ever so slightly one of your fingers. Then, just as you bend the finger in even the tiniest, slightest fashion, the paralysis will break. I know its hard, but just read this and think about it. It will help your brain think about the finger bending method, and once you just move it a tad, the paralysis breaks and thank God because that was some scary shit!!!
Anonymous Coward 1331423
yes if U can move that finger it will allow U to break the paralysis...but GAWD it hurts SOOO much and all of my willpower is not enough for the most part, no matter how much i try!
when i sense the SP coming i have less than a second to act or it cant be overcome.im 40, im tired of SP.it is so exhausting.
i have it so often now i forget about it, ignore it.
no one online can explain WHY...and ive read it all.
just knowing others out there truly understand this is a two edged sword.
yes some people understand the pain of it, but that also mean they are enduring it too.
ive told myself countless times over these years to move that little finger, just make it move a tiny bit and i can escape.
if i knew what was going to happen when that black hole comes(because i dont see presences, i just call it what i sense=a black hole) than i might not have such a hard time and wont fight so much....
ps the sp comes BEFORE i fall asleep, always.
never after i wake up.

Background: I am a Search Engine Marketer with a bit of technical background. I have been part of a private affiliate program that has in times past been a very good source of income. Unfortunately communication stopped from the parent company the last several months, and I'm thinking something has gone a little fishy, as conversions have plummetted for me as well. I can't think of any logical reason for the dropping sales. In reality, there should be an increase in sales as this site used to sell very well, and I've kept pumping the site with visitors. The product also has extremely low returns. I am not well-versed in cookie technology, but I was wondering if there was a way if I can find out the duration of the cookies in question, OR if there is some cookie rewriting going on the guys site. Remember this is a private affiliate program with no policing going on as with a network. The cookies were promised to last 5 years... but I can't see this being true. SO HERE'S THE QUESTION: How in the world can I tell if a cookie actually lasts for 5 years? (or 5 days for that matter...)
Hey guys, long time reader... first time poster. I wasn't sure where to post this question so I decided to put it here.

WAVERLY – The Waverly Vikings, ranked as the No. 4 team in the Class B pre-season ratings, opened the 2012 season with a strong weekend showing with wins over both Lincoln Pius X and Elkhorn.
On Thursday night the York Dukes were in Waverly looking to pull the upset, fresh off their season-opening win over the Centennial Broncos last Friday night.
The Vikings would have none of that as they took a 26-13 lead through the first two quarters and pulled away in the third for a 51-31win in girls non conference girls action.
Any chance the York girls had to make a second half comeback was quickly diminished by the Dukes' six turnovers in the first five minutes of the third quarter and Waverly's six for nine shooting during that same span.
At the 2:34 mark York head coach Matt Kern called his second timeout trying to stop the Vikings' scoring onslaught.
Following the stoppage in play, sophomore guard Hannah Riley cashed in a 3-point shot, but four seconds later the Viking offense answered with a long pass and lay up from Alisha Loveless, who scored seven points in the first five and half minutes of the third quarter.
York could not get much on the boards as Waverly's decisive height advantage of 6-2, 6-0 and 5-11 across the front kept the Dukes off the glass and held them to just one shot for most of the night. York was able to get some offensive boards late.
Through three quarters of action the Vikings held a 43-26 lead.
In the fourth quarter the Waverly girls extended their defense to the perimeter after the Dukes showed an intention to bomb away from outside at the end of the third quarter. Both Erin Malleck and Hannah Riley cashed in from beyond the arc over the final two minutes.
The Dukes tried to apply a little more pressure when Waverly brought the ball up-court in the fourth quarter, but could not cut into the Viking lead enough to become a threat.
In the early going Aleah Rosenau kept pace with the Vikings by herself, hitting her first three shots to tie the game at 4-4 and then give the Dukes their only lead at 6-4. Waverly's defense didn't let Rosenau hurt them the rest of the night and she was held to those same six first-quarter points.
Leading the Dukes in scoring was Erin Malleck with 11 points and that included one 3-point goal. Riley tossed in nine. The Dukes were seven of nine from the free throw line. Riley had two 3-point goals in the loss.
Waverly was led by three players in double figures with Cierra Tjaden leading the way with 18, Olivia Boender had 14 points and unofficially 13 rebounds, while Loveless closed with 11 points.
The Vikings were four of six at the charity stripe and canned three 3-point goals, all by Tjaden.
The Dukes (1-1) will be back in action Saturday night as they host the Lexington Minutemaids.
York (1-1).......................6 9 11 6 – 31

This is the fourth post in a five-part series from Teach For America corps members and alumni about the use of the phrase "achievement gap" both within the organization and the wider education community.
In education, the language we use matters—our word choices indicate our perceptions and, sometimes, our misperceptions.
In recent years, some educators have argued that the phrase "the achievement gap" contributes to one such misperception. The debate came to a broader audience last fall in a pair of articles—one by educator and historian Camika Royal, and a follow-up on Diane Ravitchs blog. Dr. Royal criticized the use of the phrase "achievement gap" as racist and inaccurate. We're glad she brought more attention to this conversation. But we also believe that the education community needs to be able to recognize and discuss the gap in outcomes—with an understanding that the gap results largely from underlying, systemic disparities in opportunity.
To critics of the achievement gap phrasing, a central problem is that it sets up a false dichotomy between largely white, higher-income students (good) and predominantly lower-income students of color (bad). Critics worry that the phrase suggests culpability on the part of lower-achieving students, when their outcomes are in fact shaped by circumstance and opportunity.
These are legitimate concerns. No one should imply that lower-income students must mimic their higher-income peers in all aspects. We should say here that we are focusing on the achievement gap as a demarcation of income status rather than skin color, though we are well aware of the unfortunate correlations between race and income.
On the other hand, we see value in language that describes the systematic disparities between schools in certain measures of student achievement. How can we express concern that far too many middle-school students in low-income communities don't know their times tables? Or that half of low-income fourth graders read below the NAEP's "basic" level? Should it not bother us that the gap in test scores between low-income students and higher-income students is growing larger and larger?
Well-calibrated assessments make these trends visible to parents, educators, and policymakers. Raising test scores is not an end in itself—the goal is imparting the meaningful knowledge that well-designed assessments can measure. Not all tests meet this standard, but recent research has confirmed that students of teachers who produce higher test scores also have improved real-world outcomes: higher adult incomes, higher rates of college attendance, and lower rates of teen pregnancy.
Alleviating the "opportunity gap" would reduce disparities in test scores. Provisions ranging from subsidized healthcare to longer school days might increase any measure of achievement. But we need language to describe the outcomes of these efforts, so that we can determine which are most effective. If children from low-income backgrounds continue to perform, systematically, well below children born into wealthier families on measures of skill and knowledge attainment, there is more work to be done. The "achievement gap" allows us to measure this disparity, and is therefore worth calling out as such.
The phrase "achievement gap" is imperfect but we feel strongly that the education community should continue to use language to describe patterns in student outcomes. Defining and discussing these patterns helps ensure that we all remain focused on efforts that lead to long-term student success, rather than on intermediary steps that may or may not help students achieve their life goals.
A version of this post originally appeared at Pass The Chalk
I find it troubling that two white authors are trying to dismiss the concerns of many teachers of color. Despite their assertion that the "achievement gap" language doesn't have anything to do with race, look at the photo they used for the article: a picture of two black children.
Images are powerful and need to be critiqued just as much as language does. I wonder, what was the thought process that went into choosing that specific picture?
Also, one of Dr. Camika Royal's main points was that the "achievement gap" language is hurtful. When people from a marginalized and stigmatized group are informing you - two white authors who speak from a position of racial privilege - about how damaging this language is to their community, why are you insisting that "there is nothing wrong with using the term" instead of actually listening and learning? As educators, you should be concerned about how your support for this language comes off as imposing and oppressive.
"Achievement gap" language places emphasis on the individual, and as Shani Jackson Dowell points out in her article, this language originated in the 1960s to describe the "educational achievement" gap between Black and White students. The phrase is heavily racialized and, as Royal states, holds "white student achievement as the universally standard goal." It completely ignores realities such as racism, poverty, and other inequities in society that impact people of color.
We need to stop pretending like racism isn't embedded in the language we use. If you truly understand how powerful language is, then it's time to make courageous efforts for serious change. We must work to challenge structural racism and white supremacy, which, make not mistake, exists in the American education system. It is society that needs to be diagnosed here, not the individual.
I agree with the notion that the 'outcomes' or life prospects for low-incoming typically low-achieving students must be raised - and that the focus should be on the outcomes or results - however where I think where the language falls short is in stating what these outcomes should be. By calling it an achievement gap you inherently place a value on the lives and productivity of the white middle class. By saying that students who do not embody the 'achievement' of our standardized white middle class lifestyle are 'low-achieving' or are suffering from the 'achievement gap' you cut off the opportunity to create new understandings of what it means to be successful and productive. Instead of saying these students need to improve in order to measure up to their white middle class counterparts, why not use a language that gives them the right to better outcomes based on the fact that they are human beings.

How are we looking at this match? Is it just another match against Pakistan, or is it an important match?
I think it's an important match. To have a look at it is very important. Doesn't matter which side you are really playing, because the reason is all international sides are good enough, so no real point taking any added pressure, so anything you can avoid as a team, especially the fact we're talking about pressure, we should look to do that.
Obviously the last time Pakistan and India played, Pakistan beat us in India, but the circumstances leading up to that series were completely different from right now. Obviously we have a much more settled opening combination now and at that point batting was really struggling. From that standpoint how do the dynamics change?
Well, I think we are a side that relies quite a bit on a good start. It doesn't really mean that we always need hundreds and partnerships. We need some time, the openers need to spend some time in the middle, and that really comes from the dressing room. That has been the case whenever we have got off to a good start; more often than not we have been able to capitalize on that fact.
If you look at Ravindra Jadeja's career, it's a very interesting career. He started off not remarkable in the early stages, was not a part of the 2011 winning side, but the last three to four months he's been exceptional with the ball. You get to see him every single delivery. What is he doing now which say he wasn't doing earlier or what has changed for Jadeja?
What we need to see is international cricket, it's difficult, you can say, scenario where all the cricketers don't really start brilliantly, but what happens is the more time you spend and the more games you play, you get more and more confident about the fact, what really your strengths are and what needs to be done. And I think that's what he has figured out. The good thing with him is he's a bowler who's very consistent with his line and length, doesn't vary his stuff a lot; he keeps it in the same areas, watches the batsman, if he's stepping out or something, he throws it out. Apart from that, he's someone who has been very consistent with his line and length, and that's what is helping him.
Pakistan's strength is their bowling. Is there any kind of strategy, any approach towards the batting which will be different from the last matches you played?
No, I think it's exactly the same because most of the international sides have good fast bowlers, and Pakistan they have got a good spinner, also, up their sleeve. Also along with Ajmal they have Hafeez who has been doing really well when it comes to the bowling department. Overall they are a very good bowling side, so we are not looking to change anything. The approach needs to be the same, and we'll stick to the basics.
I think what's impressed us about Rohit Sharma is the way he plays a new ball and particularly the short ball. Why did your team put him up opening?
Well, I think he's someone who can cuts and pulls the ball well, and that's what we have seen whenever we play a team that's not from the subcontinent; more often than not they are thinking that let's bowl short to the opener and then pitch at the top, and if the opener cuts and pulls they don't really have a back-up plan.
He's someone who can do the job well for us, and also the fact that he's someone who is really talented, and that's the only space that we have got, where we all felt that with his talent he can really capitalize and be a good opener. It's not only India who's looking for an opener who's not really an opener; even England have done that with Ian Bell. So I think that's really helping us, and also having the fact that Vijay is also a part of the side, he gets his time with the international team, sees where he needs to improve his game. So overall it's a win‑win situation for all.
Misbah was asked whether India‑Pakistan still means something to the people, he said it meant more to people living overseas. For example, when Pakistan came to India the stands weren't really full or something, but in England or London in the expat community, they feel it the same way. How do you feel so, and how do you feel as a player?
Well, I think the India‑Pakistan game is always a big game, doesn't really matter where you are playing, and if you see both the teams, if you compare it to the '80s or the early '90s, you can say it has mellowed down a bit for the good of cricket. You don't really see the same kind of action when it comes to the cricketing skills and the verbal skills, which I feel is good. And at the same time the intensity is still there.
So I think it's very entertaining for the spectators, and also the fact that whenever you play at any tournament you like, England I still remember the warm-up game that we played in the ICC World Twenty20 2009. It was a houseful game and we had an equal amount of support, 50-per-cent each. I think it's an exciting game, and spectators, especially from India and Pakistan, they love to watch a game like this, so I think it will be a houseful again.
You spoke about Rohit Sharma. What about the other opener? I wouldn't say he's come from nowhere, but three or four years ago he played some on the international route doing anything, and now what's the difference? He's 27.
Well, if you see Shikhar, he and I batted together in the Challenger Trophy. Obviously, it was slightly different for me, the reason I was a wicket-keeper, and especially when you compete with a slightly more number of cricketers. At that time we had quite a settled batting, you can say, or the opening pair that we had got. He got a bit of a chance in the middle, in the last I think, three years if I'm not wrong, but the problem is when you get games on and off, the real problem is you don't really know whether you play the next game or you'll get a few games in a go. So that really affects the thinking of a cricketer. But now what has happened is also that stint that he got a few games that he got, showed him where he needs to be, what are the areas that he needs to improve, and now all of a sudden he gets a chance, he's sure about the fact that he'll get a few games if not too many, which gives him time to settle down and doesn't really push him to think as to what will happen if he doesn't perform in this particular game.
So I think it really helps each and every individual, and it is something that we want to do as a team for every individual who's selected for the Indian cricket team. But at times that's not really possible, so I think it's something that's really working for him, that he's taking it as a challenge and is just expressive on the field.
Quite a few youngsters have performed very well under your captaincy. What do you tell those youngsters, the Shikhar Dhawans, the Umesh Yadavs, the Virat Kohlis before they play an important match? How do you motivate them?
Well, motivation has never been a factor, especially when you're representing your country and you're talking about 1.2 billion people, and the expectation level is very high. So I don't think motivation is something that needs to be ‑‑ a speech needs to be given to motivate the guys. I think all of them are very motivated. It's just that it's important to enjoy the game more than anything else. When we picked up cricket or any individual picks up any sport, it's more for enjoyment. Nobody really thinks at the early stages that it will be his career where he will earn money.
So I think that's what is important at our top level, also, when you are competing at the top level it's important to still stick to the fact that it is still a sport, you are there to enjoy, you are there to give 100-per-cent, and that's something that is of utmost importance.
And I think all these individuals have been able to do that. They've been able to mix and match everything, their fitness, their cricketing and their life at the same time. So I think that enjoyment factor is the key.
And the relaxation?
No, I think they understand that very well.
Pakistan are out of the tournament. When Misbah was asked about it, he said that this kind of situation will take pressure off his side. Do you think in this kind of situation they are less dangerous or more dangerous?
Well, there are two ways to look at it. It depends on what they are thinking. If their thinking is they have nothing really to lose, let's go out, be expressive on the field, don't bother about the result, then they can be dangerous. But if the thinking is they have not qualified, this is a game against India, let's win this game so that we have it as a consolation prize, they'll be in big trouble. So it depends entirely on what they are thinking.
What's been the most pleasing aspect of this campaign so far for you?
I think the fact that we have quite consistently scored runs. That's something that's very important. The fact that we have been able to chase scores and good scores against good bowlers and good wickets where there was a bit of bounce for the fast bowler. I think all in all it's a very pleasing aspect, and also the bowling department we have seen if there's a bit of help for the fast bowlers, even though our fast bowlers can come back in the game, bowl really well in the middle overs, so I think overall I've been very happy. Fielding, we have not been known for our fielding standards, but we have seen ‑‑ I think right now we are the best fielding side. You can compare us to any other side, and most of our fielders, they are good fielders, and the rest are above‑average fielders.
You started playing cricket to enjoy and then be competitive and improve and beat the opposition, but along the way the fans and the media have thrust the responsibility of the country upon you as if you are more patriotic than others in the country. Is it possible for fans to mature and realize that it is just a sport, and I'm asking this in the context of the match against Pakistan.
You know, it's a very difficult one to answer. If you see why cricketers are so popular, the reason is the fan following is such, so it's important that you take it in a positive way because it will be very difficult to change the thinking. But I always talk about to look at stuff which are in our control and stuff that's beyond our control, so I think this is definitely something that's definitely beyond our control, so it's very important that we set our own expectation level. We try to do well in each and every game, because I think the expectation of the fans in India, it will only go up a level. I've never seen it come down, right from 2004 December when I made my debut.
So I think it's a good thing. It really pushes us all the time to keep doing well. But it's very important to manage ourselves, especially when we are not doing really well, because in sport each and every individual from each and every country at the end of the day they are representing their country, and they want to do well for themselves and their country.
I think it's crucial that when you're not doing well not to get bothered about all these things, still look to do better in the areas that are in our control, and that's preparation, execution of plans and keeping ourselves fit.
Showers are forecast tomorrow. If that's the case, do you change your planning in terms of if it's going to be raining tomorrow?
You know, the England weather is very unpredictable. As of now, showers, they have said we may have a bit of shower. But we'll see before the start of the game how it looks, look up at the sky, see what's really happening, where the clouds are coming from. And once you get so close to the game, the forecasts, they are a bit more realistic. So we'll see how it goes.
What also needs to be seen is whether it will be so much rain affected that the team that bats second may end up only batting 20 or 25 overs, and then the team who has batted first has a bit of a disadvantage. That's to my feeling. But once the game starts and everything goes well and all of us are in the match, it gets reduced to a 35‑over game which is still big enough, and I think the side batting second has a bit of a disadvantage because they've already played a few overs and they think it's a 50‑over game and then all of a sudden they need to change their plans.

Every day around 3 pm, usually when I've been staring at my computer screen, the skin around my eyes starts to feel tight and dry. I like to keep my skin care routine pretty simple, but lately I've been wondering: is eye cream for me?
I decided to ask my friend Pam Crawford, a holistic esthetician and instructor at the Texas Healing Arts Institute. According to Pam, "The skin around your eyes is the thinnest skin on your face. In fact, it's the thinnest skin anywhere on your whole body." Ironically, this delicate skin gets a workout every time you smile, laugh or squint. Age, dryness and sun exposure also contribute to fine...
Read Full StorySpring has sprung! While everything in nature is busy turning over a shiny new leaf, why not follow suit with a little spring renewal of your own? Here are three easy ways to freshen up your life as the days lengthen and the ground thaws.
1. Renew Your Kitchen
Italy, a country of icons — colliseums, leaning towers, gondoliers — occupies a special place in our imaginations. Italy's wines are also iconic, noted by their well-defined, flavors and depth of character. They pour into the glass with more aplomb, swirl with more grace and deliver exquisite flavors with, dare we say, more passion and panache than other wines of the world.
Our Favorite Wines from Italy
Just as our wine buyer says, "You can't go wrong if you order a bottle of Italian wine," we knew we'd have great options to choose from. Check out which we've included among our favorites and meet a few of the winemakers by watching these videos on our wine page. Here is Beppe DiAndrea introducing you to Ruffino's Orvieto Classico:

Flirty and flushed, pink is the rosy dawn of a new season. This beauty pops up everywhere: The crabapple and the cherry blossom. The early edges of dawn and twilight. On the cheeks of your favorite folks as they bustle around outdoors.
Pink is innocence and renewal; everything old made young again. It's enough to make you want rhubarb pie and warm tea.
Read Full StoryI love a good spring cleaning and as you might imagine, much of my ardor is focused on the kitchen. We're starting to see the buds of a new season (well, most of us – in like a lion, out like a lamb, remember), but it's still pretty chilly overall, so now feels like perfect time to scrounge around in your cabinets and get cooking.
After an informal office poll, I found these five (handy) troublemakers at the top of our list. For a new start, clean out your pantry, make something delicious, then head to the store for a refresh.
Tiny amounts of grains, cornmeal or lentils
This feels silly, but when you're baking or following a recipe, often small amounts of a grain or bean will be left when the dish has already hit the oven. Use these tiny portions in easy gratins or tuck cooked lentils into your favorite veggie burger recipe.

How are juries selected in the United States? What forces influence juries in making their decisions? Are some cases simply beyond the ability of juries to decide? How useful is the entire jury system? In this important and accessible book, a prominent expert on constitutional law examines these and other issues concerning the American jury system. Randolph N. Jonakait describes the historical and social pressures that have driven the development of the jury system; contrasts the American jury system to the legal process in other countries; reveals subtle changes in the popular view of juries; examines how the news media, movies, and books portray and even affect the system; and discusses the empirical data that show how juries actually operate and what influences their decisions. Jonakait endorses the jury system in both civil and criminal cases, spelling out the important social role juries play in legitimizing and affirming the American justice system.

Abstract: Serum fatty acids are increasingly used in cross-sectional surveys and cohort studies as biomarkers of dietary fat intake; however, it is currently difficult to judge whether an individual has low or high fatty acid status, or whether the distribution of fatty acids of a group of people is low or high due to a lack of appropriate reference values. In the absence of interpretive criteria, the distribution of serum fatty acids from a suitable reference population can be used as an alternative. We describe the distribution of the fatty acid composition of the three most commonly reported lipid classes in serum; cholesterol ester, phospholipid and triacylgycerol. Results for each serum lipid class are presented as means (SD) and percentiles (5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, and 95) of serum fatty acids in non-fasting blood samples collected from a population based cross-sectional survey of New Zealand adults (n = 2793). These serum fatty acid reference ranges are applicable and relevant to Australia, United Kingdom, and United States as well as other countries where fat intakes are similar to New Zealand.

I'm sorry, I refuse to raise my pitchfork in anger on the principle of something they may do in the future. As it stands, the feature is non offensive - it's benign. You have to do stuff in order to use it. And let's not forget we're talking Amazon affiliates here. There's a huge outcry about loss of income, but: a) How many of those people are making a sizable amount from Amazon? b) How many of the visitors to those sites use Google Toolbar? c) How mant of those will activate the feature and use it? d) What percentage of them would have purchased and earned you commission? There's some huge perceived injustice here - but the commerical reality is that this will have bugger all effect on anyone's bottom line. I'd be willing to bet good money on the fact that a large percentage of Toolbar users are savvy enough to recognise affiliate links and know what it means to Google, the website owner and Amazon. The only remaining issue is that click through rates may drive traffic away from your site that would have otherwise earned you income. But can anyone seriously suggest that the % of people who will leave and would have otherwise earned you money is going to be so significant? You're all capable of optimising for keywords, so then just unoptimise for autolink trigger words - addresses, ISBN's, etc. I would view that as a legitimate time expenditure to retain visitors on my site. Such outcry from the largest collection of spammers on the web! Somewhere, Irony is turning in it's grave. :P MG
Ah yes the wonderfull banter of the online community - if you're not on the bandwagon, you're working for the competition! ;)

Hemolysis and sublethal injury of RBCs after routine blood bank manipulations.
Summary of "Hemolysis and sublethal injury of RBCs after routine blood bank manipulations."
Objectives: To determine the extent of RBC sublethal injury in male donor units as measured by both the mechanical fragility index (MFI) and percentage hemolysis after RBCs underwent leukoreduction (LR), irradiation (IRRAD), and washing. Background: RBCs frequently undergo post-collection processing to meet certain recipient's special needs. The extent of hemolysis and sublethal injury following these interventions has not been fully characterised. Methods: Eight to ten day old male, AS-5 RBCs underwent either LR, IRRAD or washing. A control group of male, AS-5 RBCs were unmanipulated. The MFI, percent hemolysis, and plasma free hemoglobin (PFHb) were measured immediately after manipulation and, for a series of irradiated RBCs, 28 days after irradiation (IRRAD28). Results: The MFI of the washed units was significantly higher than unmanipulated, LR, IRRAD, IRRAD28 units (P < 0·0001). The percent hemolysis was highest in the IRRAD28 units (1·4%) followed by the washed units (0·74%); the other three units demonstrated significantly less hemolysis (P < 0·0001). The largest mean total amount of PFHb per unit was found in the IRRAD28 units (500·5 mg/unit) followed by the washed units (149·8 mg/unit); the mean total amount of PFHb in the three other types of units was significantly less than that found in both the IRRAD28 and washed units (P at least < 0·001). Conclusion: There is a significant quantity of PFHb in IRRAD28 RBC units, and potentially in washed allogeneic RBC units. Clinical correlation is required to determine if this quantity of PFHb and the transfusion of potentially fragile RBCs causes adverse events.

For the first time since the occupation began, he's saying that success may allow some troops to come home, but he's still not using the term "withdrawal." He's also saying American forces will remain in Iraq beyond his presidency. In drawing a distinction between "those who believe success in Iraq is essential to our security" and "those who believe we should bring our troops home," did the President redefine America's mission? Did he reach enough skeptical Republicans to prevent Democrats from forcing change? What about public opinion and the impact on the presidential campaign?

San Francisco Becomes First US City to Guarantee Healthcare ()
San Francisco is "different" from other American cities in many ways. Its population of 750,000 lives in a compact area, city and county governments are one and the same, and the political culture is unique. Now, San Francisco is different in a new way. It's the first American city to promise healthcare for all its residents—whether or not they are citizens. "Healthy San Francisco" began as a pilot program in Chinatown two months ago. On Monday, it will spread to 20 locations citywide. The hope is to provide free healthcare to 82,000 people without health insurance--without raising taxes. Supervisor Tom Ammiano is the sponsor of the plan.

New York's second largest city is Buffalo, located in western New York. Buffalo is also on the eastern shores of Lake Erie and at the head of Niagara Falls. The city's population is over 290,000. In 1789 Buffalo was a small trading community, but grew when the Erie Canal was opened in 1825. Buffalo also served as one of the last stops on the Underground Railroad for those who escaped slavery searching for freedom on the far side of Niagara Falls.
