text: Research Opportunities"My Honors experience helped differentiate me from other medical school applicants. The one-on-one help from the Honors director in drafting my personal statement helped me secure six acceptances from around the country, including three from Ivy League programs. In fact, in my essay I mentioned how Honors helped mold me into a critical thinker, something my chemistry and biology courses didn't foster. Consistently during my rigorous med school interviews I had to examine difficult issues relating to medicine, society, and government policy--my broad Honors education gave me the background necessary to provide thoughtful and unique replies, something that helps an applicant stand-out from a pack of 1000 others." As the website for one major medical school explains about the advantages for applicants who have done undergraduate research: "Orientation toward lifelong learning, independent thinking, and decision-making are attributes of an excellent physician. It is to your advantage to participate in activities (e.g., independent study projects, research projects, and courses requiring active involvement, etc.) that will foster those attributes." One could say that such activities would lead to success in any field and these are at the heart of the Honors program. For further information, please use the links to the left. |

Ekiga (formely known as GnomeMeeting) is a soft phone, video conferencing, and instant messenger application for use over the Internet. It supports HD sound quality and video up to DVD size and quality. It is interoperable with many other standards compliant software, hardware, and service providers as it uses both of the major telephony standards, SIP and H.323.
Smuxi is an irssi-inspired, flexible, user-friendly, and cross-platform IRC client for sophisticated users. Smuxi is based on the client-server model: The core application (engine) can be placed onto a server which is connected to the Internet around-the-clock; one or more frontends then connect to the core. This allows the connection to IRC to be kept up even when all frontends have been closed. The combination of screen and irssi served as the example for this architecture. Smuxi also supports the regular single application mode. This behaves like a typical IRC client; it doesn't need separate core management and utilizes a local engine that is used by the local frontend client.
Pidgin-paranoia is a plugin for Pidgin (formerly known as Gaim) that provides information-theoretically secure encrypted conversations using one-time pads. Because the plugin uses a one-time pad where the secret key has the same length as the message and the key is only used once, the encryption is information-theoretically secure. This means that from the encrypted messages the contents of the messages are not revealed. In short: If you use truly random numbers to generate the key files, and if you keep them perfectly secret, one-time pads can not be broken.
Akeni Instant Messaging Server Pro is a client/server instant messaging platform that allows companies to host their own secured private IM system. The client has an user interface similar to AIM, ICQ, or MSN Messenger. It supports all the standard IM features such as chat, group conference, presence management, file transfer, offline messages, and emergency alert/notification. Extra features include contact management and optional tabbed chat sessions. The server has advanced administration tools for managing user accounts, client-side logging capabilities, and peer-to-peer file transfers. It can be set up on a private network without connecting to the Internet, and can easily be set up for use inside and outside of the company firewall.
Akeni LAN messenger is a cross-platform instant messenger client. It is a P2P program that works on your LAN without the need of an Internet connection or a dedicated server. The client has an user interface similar to AIM, ICQ, or MSN Messenger. It supports all the standard IM features such as chat, group conference, presence management, file transfer, and emergency alert/notification. Extra features include contact management and optional tabbed chat sessions.
MudMagic Mud Client is a GTK/GNOME multi-platform MUD client. It provides aliases, triggers, multiple connections, plugins, MCCP, ZMP, MSP, tabbed sessions, ANSI color, and a game list that can be updated from mudmagic.com. It is configurable on a per-session basis. Plugins include an automapper, database, and note pad.
Akeni Web Chat is an IM system designed for universal accessibility and ease of deployment. With its browser-based client, there is no need to install any client side software. It is also firewall friendly and can be used whenever you have access to a Web browser. The rich client supports chat, notification, and conferencing. It also allows your staff to provide real time sales information and technical support to your customer using a simple Web-based interface.
The BoardGame tool is a front end for programming custom boardgames. It features an easy and flexible interface to interact with the players and has transparent support for network or AI-controlled games. Through a clear XML interface, games elements can be specified. Using an easy-to-learn back-end language like Python for rule implementations makes it very easy to implement, adjust, or enhance rules that come with a game. The same back-end language can be used easily for simple or complex AI implementations.

Swallowing the Conflict to "Keep the Peace."
Conflict is messy. Not many of us are skilled at it. Sometimes, it is tempting to try bypass it altogether to "keep the peace." I'm not talking about choosing a battle because a particular issue is not a big deal. I'm talking about when someone crosses a line and you feel violated but decide to swallow these feelings to "keep the peace." The problem with this strategy is that there is no peace; instead the conflict is now stuck inside you while the person who crossed the line has no idea of its existence. For a one-time interaction, there might not be any repercussions, but if this dynamic occurs in an ongoing relationship, something will blow up further down the line.
This issue is ripe for me because I want to teach my children how to speak up for themselves, and the best way to do so is to lead by example. What makes this tricky is that I prefer to swallow my feelings rather than engage in conflicts with people if I suspect that I will be met with anger. This is especially true if I suspect that the person I am setting a boundary with is emotionally unstable. In other words, if someone crosses a line with me and I think that they are going to flip out if I tell them so, I am tempted to swallow my feelings and hope that it doesn't happen again. Unfortunately, the "ignore it and maybe it will go away" approach is ineffective. When violating a boundary, a boundary-challenged person interprets silence as permission. Over time, that permission becomes license. Speaking up about it gets far more complicated the longer you wait. It gets even messier than if you'd spoken up in the first place, but it has to be done if you want to break out of the dynamic.
I have had some recent experience with this very topic, in which I became engaged in a messy conflict with our neighbor over the boundary between our properties. (I could not come up with a better metaphor for boundary issues if I tried). Because we had a complicated boundary issue in the past in which this person was using our property over well past the line (and making the assumption that it was hers), we now have stakes that clearly delineate the property line, so that there is no confusion about where it resides. I noticed that she'd planted something on our side of the line. Not far on it, but enough to be an issue, especially considering the history. I dreaded bringing this up with her. I noticed myself trying to make concessions to her so that she wouldn't get mad. I noticed myself feeling as if I had to apologize for bringing it up. I decided to be direct, and was met with exactly the rage I'd feared. She yelled, cussed and hurled accusations before storming off and yelling "Fuck you, I'm done with you!!!!!" Even so, the boundary is now known and back to where it belongs.
Surprisingly, I feel more peaceful now that I didn't swallow my feelings to "keep the peace." The rage that I'd been so afraid of came out from under the surface. If I had swallowed the conflict, all of my anger and fear of her rage would have churned inside of me as long as I allowed the boundary to be violated. Instead, things feel clear and clean, regardless of the messy route I took. I feel peace knowing what the conflict looks like rather than fear of what it might be, should I speak up. Given the choice between being hated or occupying space, I choose to occupy. It turns out that the person most affected by hatred is the person doing the hating.

Health Notes: St. Luke's in top 100 of national hospital ranking
St. Luke's hospital in Duluth is one of the nation's top 100 hospitals, according to a list released this week by a Denver-based health-rating service.By: Compiled by John Lundy, Duluth News Tribune
St. Luke's hospital in Duluth is one of the nation's top 100 hospitals, according to a list released this week by a Denver-based health-rating service.
America's 100 best hospitals had "risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates low enough to place them in the top 5 percent of all hospitals," according to a news release from HealthGrades, which describes itself as a "provider of comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals."
Dr. Gary Peterson, chief medical officer for St. Luke's, said the ranking was a validation of the hard work done by those on the hospital's staff.
"We're very proud of this," Peterson said. "We're very happy to be included in America's 100 best hospitals."
Peterson noted that the ranking is based on three years' worth of data. "It isn't just a flash in the pan," he said.
HealthGrades has been reporting on the quality of hospitals since 1998. It derives its ratings from data about Medicare patients.
From 2008 through 2010, the top 100 hospitals collectively had nearly 30 percent lower risk-adjusted mortality across 17 procedures and diagnoses compared with hospitals overall, the news release said. If all hospitals performed at that level, 179,593 deaths of Medicare patients would have been prevented during those three years, it said.
Some of the most familiar names among America's hospitals aren't on the list. There's no Mayo Clinic or Hennepin County Medical Center from Minnesota, although the Mayo Clinic hospital in Phoenix does make the list. Seven Baltimore-area hospitals are included, but the world-renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital isn't one of them.
The HealthGrades rating system is driven strictly by numbers, spokeswoman Marsha Austin said in an e-mail.
"Other hospital ratings systems utilize in their methodologies financial performance, reputation, etc.," Austin wrote. "So what you see is what you get with our ratings — no matter the brand recognition or name association/reputation, we are comparing hospitals based on one question: Did the patient experience any unexpected complications or a preventable death."
St. Luke's was listed in HealthGrades' top 100 hospitals, but not its top 50. The only Minnesota hospital to make the top 50 was North Memorial in Robbinsdale. The only other Minnesota hospital in the next 50 was Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina. Wisconsin hospitals in the top 100 were Gunderson Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center in Milwaukee and West Allis Memorial Hospital.

Pat Venditte's next step in his recovery from right shoulder surgery comes Saturday.
The ambidextrous pitcher, a former Creighton standout from Omaha Central, is scheduled to pitch right-handed in an official game for the second time for the Yankees' rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate.
He said the right arm feels good again after surgery to repair the labrum, a type of cartilage in the shoulder.
He said he "let it go" on Tuesday in his first right-handed outing. "My velocity has come back to where it was before the surgery."
Next week, an even bigger step is scheduled. For the first time since the surgery, he'll pitch both right- and left-handed, depending on the matchup with a hitter.
So far, including his time pitching for Italy in the World Baseball Classic, Venditte has pitched either left- or right-handed.
"I get to go back to doing what I do," he said.
Venditte also has something new he's trying, a lower arm slot from the right side, similar to what he's done on his left-handed offerings.
"It's something I've thought about, and then they approached me about trying it," he said. "I've had some good success left on left, and hopefully I can do the same right on right."
With the exception of spending about a month away during the World Baseball Classic, Venditte has been at the Yankees' spring training complex in Tampa since early January.
"It's definitely been tough," the 28-year-old pitcher said. "All the guys who were drafted with me are either no longer in the organization, or they're in the upper levels of the minors or in big leagues. So I'm meeting a lot of new guys.
"It's been a different experience, but I've got to meet a lot of nice people. It could have been a lot worse."
Theoretically, one benefit of being a switch-pitcher like Venditte is that one arm injury wouldn't necessarily shut you down.
But while he pitched left-handed in the WBC, the Yankees decided to have his right arm at full strength before moving too far forward in his rehabilitation.
"They wanted me to stay at the complex rehabbing every day," he said.
Venditte said he's pitched in 12 extended spring training games, all left-handed. He was shut down for a couple of weeks because of inflammation but was recently cleared to return.
And he took another step in his comeback Monday, when he pitched a scoreless inning left-handed, when the statistics become part of the permanent record and when the rehabilitation assignment clock starts ticking.
He gave up three hits and three runs — one earned — in one inning as a righty Tuesday, then gave up two runs on two hits in 113 innings Thursday. He's splitting his time playing for each of the Yankees' Gulf Coast League teams, pitching only at the Yankees' complex.
Minor league rehab assignments last 20 days, after which the Yankees will decide where to place him.
Since signing as a 20th round draft pick in 2008, Venditte has gone 14-13 with a 2.32 ERA in the minors. But it was a long, slow climb for him to finally reach Class AAA last year.
He went 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA in 13 innings for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before injuring the labrum in his shoulder, which required surgery June 20, 2012.
"It was definitely a setback. But no part of my journey, from high school to college to pro ball, has been easy," he said. "So it's another bump in the road, another test … that's kind of the mindset I've had."

I never believe that I could bake a bread, I mean real bread, until I tried this recipe. I saw the show first, even then I didn't think I could do it, but the bread looked so good, I decided to try. I think watching the show gave me some tips and gave me an idea what texture I should look for. I really really recommend this recipe: it is easy and reliable.

Department of NursingMorehead State UniversityCenter for Health Education & Research316 West Second Street, Room 201AMorehead, Kentucky 40351Phone: 606-783-2438Fax: 606-783-9211E-mail: email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
The Department of Nursing moved to the Center for Health Education and Research (CHER) Building in the summer of 2010. The $26 million facility is located at 316 W. Second St. The building houses state- of-the-art equipment to provide students with quality instruction for classes and laboratories and to prepare them for clinical practice experiences. Students are able to simulate imaging procedures in a controlled environment prior to performing them on live patients. Laboratories have video capabilities, allowing students and faculty to evaluate their performance. This also allows students to develop their skills and become more confident prior to their clinical assignments. The building also houses a testing and multimedia center, allowing for online testing and the use of computerized instructional modules to improve student learning. These experiences provide students with knowledge and confidence in preparation for computerized national certification exams.
The two labs house computerized manikins that are programmed to mimic a wide range of illnesses and patient profiles allowing students opportunities to care for individuals and situations which may be unavailable to students in hospital settings. Skill sets are honed as students become "working nurses" during full scale simulations which may include calling providers for medical orders, prioritizing and delegating care for multiple clients, and interacting with the interprofessional team.
The most current technology advances are employed. Students learn hands-on adult and pediatric patient assessment, communication techniques, medication administration, as well as a multitude of skills required of registered nurses.
The Multi-Media Lab consist of 50 machines that house a number of helpful programs that are used by the students in the CHER building. The machines house the software that the nursing students use for testing and practice. The lab has a printer in the facility for students to print out materials as needed. Located in the back of the lab is a number of multi-media resources used by students. This lab also houses the Multi-Media Lab Coordinator and IT Specialist who works with students to get started with their test and proctors them. This person also helps with IT problems as they arise.

The future of TARTA in Rossford is still unclear, but one thing is for sure: Voters will not be able to voice their opinion on the issue this November.
"I'm disappointed," said Pat Carson, a Rossford resident. "I signed the petition to put it up for a vote."
Nearly 400 people signed the petition to get the TARTA issue on the November ballot, but according to the board of elections, the petition was not filed and certified in time to be valid.
Some residents say keeping TARTA services in Rossford is a waste of money.
"It's not a deal for Rossford, by any means," said Councilman Chuck Duricek. "We believe the citizens of Rossford could be better served by a private company."
Duricek says Rossford could use a service similar to Perrysburg's, because not enough people use TARTA.
"It's not utilized by anyone in Rossford," he said. "We have a lot of people that transit through Rossford."
Not everyone agrees with him.
"If they're coming into town to work, they're putting money into the city, so I think they would be wrong if they tried to get rid of [TARTA]," said Jim Mazur.
The legislation allowing communities to opt out of TARTA expires this December. It is currently unknown if people will be able to vote on the issue next year.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Even the most cynical Scrooge would find it hard to hold on to his humbug after hearing about how anonymous donors began visiting Kmart stores to pay off the layaway accounts of complete strangers.
The "layaway angels," as the anonymous donors have been dubbed, would pay off balances remaining on accounts of those who have mostly toys or children's clothing laid away.
Just hours after the initial story broke about the first layaway angels, others in towns all across the U.S. -- including the Charleston area -- began following suit.
"A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees," Amelia Earhart wrote. "The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves."
A few weeks back there was a story in the news about an elderly Iowa City man who accidentally donated a suit to Goodwill, forgetting that it had his life savings, about $13,000, hidden inside the pocket. According to the story, the man didn't trust banks, and his wife was undergoing treatment for stage-4 cancer.
As word about the lost donation spread, Goodwill was swamped with calls and emails from people wanting to help the man.
"It's been extremely heartwarming, the number of people reaching out to help," said Dana Engelbert, vice president of marketing for Goodwill of the Heartland. "The phone at the Moline store rang almost nonstop with people calling about it, and I've received emails from as far away as Germany."

Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
Voices of Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Danny DeVito
Directed by Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda
Why does Hollywood keep screwing up the iconic work of Dr. Seuss? After the wretched film versions of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Cat in the Hat, and Horton Hears a Who, Dr. Seuss takes another one in the gut. This 3D, animated, idiotically musicalized version of The Lorax thoroughly debases the genius of the good doctor's book, adding characters, twisting plot points, and replacing Seuss subtlety with Hollywood frenzy. Everything organic in Seuss' 1971 illustrated book looks pasted on. The setting is still the polluted town of Thneedville, where trees don't grow and fresh air is sold in jars. The conflict between the tree-hugging Lorax (voiced by Danny De Vito) and the Once-ler (Ed Helms), who sold out the environment for a quick buck, has been sidetracked by the strained efforts of young Ted (Zac Efron) to win the heart of pretty Audrey (Taylor Swift) by finding her a real tree. Yikes! Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda direct strictly for short-attention spans on a fruit-loopy palette that made me want to puke. Had Dr. Seuss lived (he died in 1991), I'm confident he would have puked as well.

SummaryEukaryotic cells contain many fibrillarin-associated small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) that possess long complementarities to mature rRNAs. Characterization of 21 novel antisense snoRNAs from human cells followed by genetic depletion and reconstitution studies on yeast U24 snoRNA provides evidence that this class of snoRNAs is required for site-specific 2′-O-methylation of preribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA). Antisense snoRNAs function through direct base-pairing interactions with pre-rRNA. The antisense element, together with the D or D' box of the snoRNA, provide the information necessary to select the target nucleotide for the methyltransfer reaction. The conclusion that snoRNAs function in covalent modification of the sugar moieties of ribonucleotides demonstrates that eukaryotic small nuclear RNAs have a more versatile cellular function than earlier anticipated.

Philippe Ganot, Marie-Line Bortolin and Tamás Kiss
SummaryDuring the nucleolar maturation of eukaryotic ribosomal RNAs, many selected uridines are converted into pseudouridine by a thus far undefined mechanism. The nucleolus contains a large number of small RNAs (snoRNAs) that share two conserved sequence elements, box H and ACA. In this study, we demonstrate that site-specific pseudouridylation of rRNAs relies on short ribosomal signal sequences that are complementary to sequences in box H/ACA snoRNAs. Genetic depletion and reconstitution studies on yeast snR5 and snR36 snoRNAs demonstrate that box H/ACA snoRNAs function as guide RNAs in rRNA pseudouridylation. These results define a novel function for snoRNAs and further reinforce the idea that base pairing is the most common way to obtain specific substrate–"enzyme" interactions during rRNA maturation.

Splicing-Dependent and -Independent Modes of Assembly for Intron-Encoded Box C/D snoRNPs in Mammalian Cells
Molecular Cell, Volume 12, Issue 1, 1 July 2003, Pages 113-123
Tetsuro Hirose, Mei-Di Shu and Joan A. Steitz
SummaryIn mammalian cells, all small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) that guide rRNA modification are encoded within the introns of host genes. An optimal position about 70 nts upstream of the 3′ splice site of the host intron is critical for efficient expression of box C/D snoRNAs in vivo, suggesting synergy with splicing. Here, we have used a coupled in vitro splicing-snoRNA processing system to demonstrate that assembly of box C/D snoRNP proteins is the step affected by snoRNA location, and that active splicing is essential for snoRNP assembly. Splicing blockage experiments further reveal that snoRNP proteins bind specifically at the spliceosomal C1 complex stage. In contrast, splicing-independent snoRNP assembly can occur in vitro on snoRNAs that possess stable external stems. In vivo analyses confirm that a stable stem can compensate for the unusual position of those few box C/D snoRNAs located far from the 3′ splice site of their host intron.

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a well-characterized family of non-coding RNAs whose main function is rRNA modification. The diversity and complexity of this gene family continues to expand with the discovery of snoRNAs with non-rRNA or unknown targets. Plants contain more snoRNAs than other eukaryotes and have developed novel expression and processing strategies. The increased number of modifications, which will influence ribosome function, and the novel modes of expression might reflect the environmental conditions to which plants are exposed. Polyploidy and chromosomal rearrangements have generated multiple copies of snoRNA genes, allowing the generation of new snoRNAs for selection. The large snoRNA family in plants is an ideal model for investigation of mechanisms of evolution of gene families in plants.

ROAD TRIP: Lyndonville, VT
Host Marc Istook tours the endangered Sanborn bridge in rural Vermont, one of less than 900 covered bridges remaining in the United States. The bridges are part of our farming history: they were designed with covers on them to give skittish cattle and horses a sense of entering a barn, soothing their fears of crossing rushing rivers after returning from grazing in nearby meadows. Marc meets the owners and local activists who are fighting to save these historical structures before they fade into America's past.

Saquinavir can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include heart rhythm problems and liver problems. Contact your health care provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms that may signal heart rhythm problems:
Contact your health care provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms that may signal liver problems:
Taking saquinavir together with certain medicines can cause serious and/or life-threatening side effects. While taking saquinavir, it is important to keep all of your appointments with your health care provider.
Saquinavir is a prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV infection in people 16 years of age and older. Saquinavir is always used in combination with the anti-HIV medicine ritonavir (brand name: Norvir) and other anti-HIV medicines.
Saquinavir is a type of anti-HIV medicine called a protease inhibitor (PI). Saquinavir works by blocking protease, an HIV enzyme. This prevents HIV from replicating and lowers the amount of HIV in the blood.
Saquinavir does not cure HIV/AIDS. It is not known if saquinavir reduces the risk of passing HIV to other people.
Before taking saquinavir, tell your health care provider:
Saquinavir comes in two forms:
(A 200-mg soft-gel capsule form of saquinavir was formerly sold under the brand name Fortovase. Sale of Fortovase was discontinued in February 2006.)
Take saquinavir according to your health care provider's instructions.
Take saquinavir at the same time that you take the anti-HIV medicine ritonavir (brand name: Norvir). Take saquinavir, along with ritonavir, with a full meal or up to 2 hours after a meal.
Always take saquinavir in combination with other anti-HIV medicines.
If you take too much saquinavir, contact your local poison control center (1-800-222-1222) or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.
For more information on how to take saquinavir, see the FDA drug label from DailyMed. (DailyMed is a federal website that includes the most recent drug labels submitted to FDA.)
Saquinavir can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include heart rhythm problems and liver problems. (See the WARNING above.)
Other possible side effects of saquinavir include:
Tell your health care provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
These are not all the possible side effects of saquinavir. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist for more information on possible side effects of saquinavir.

Tuff is adorable!!! I saw the cutest video of someone with three chocolate labs who were all doing sit stays a couple feet from their respective food bowls. It was hilarious because the owner was saying "their" prayers "Thank you God for our food and our bones, please give us the strength to run around the yard and the patience not to get in any doggy fights, etc, etc" and then he said "Amen" and they all bounded for their food. He had clearly taught Amen as a release word and the whole thing was hilarious.

Rewriting the Golden Rules of Retirement Investing
Many are holding more cash as they're scared, observes Fisher of Summit Advisors, adding that such individuals tend to gravitate towards safer bets like insurance products with guarantees or principal-protected investments.
"That's been growing like wild fire in the last 10 years. You have principal protection plus potential growth," he says. "You don't get killed on the downside."
For Pactolus Private Wealth Management, a typical client portfolio has 30-50 percent in assets that provide short-term liquidity.
Pactolus' Harter says the firm's strategy also includes looking at multiple global currencies as a means of attaining secondary liquidity.
The firm also invests in other asset classes, such as direct multi-family real estate investment trusts, REITs.
Revenue growth in that sector is expected to hit 4-6 percent this year, according to a report in REIT.com , citing research by SNL Financial, with funds from operations projected to grow at least 9 percent during the period.
Approximately 3 million households have "doubled-up" since 2008, and many of them will be looking for their own place to live as the job market improves, another REIT.com report stated, suggesting further upside potential for the multi-family REIT sector.
As a secondary inflation hedge, Pactolus has been buying up farmland, primarily in northwest Missouri, which has appreciated 8 percent in recent years, says Harter.
"This the ultimate inflation hedge — better than gold and silver," he says. "Gold and silver will, in the shorter term, be traded like other risk assets."
Retiring Is Risky Business
For those looking to add alternative asset classes and/or shift a higher percentage of funds into equities, wealth managers say it's more important than ever to understand one's appetite for risk.
The roller-coaster patternof the stock market since the spring of 2011 is ample cause.
"People tend to put investment policy before risk," Harter says. "Start with risk. Start with the end in mind and the minimum amount you need."

Liquids with CaloriesBy Nancy Clark MS, RD, CSSDIf you are among the many sweaty athletes who wonders what to drink to quench your thirst, you may feel confused by the abundant choices of fluids. There's plain ol' water, sports drinks, soft drinks (sugar-sweetened or diet), 100% fruit juices, juice drinks, milk (skim, lowfat, or whole), beer, wine….and the list goes on. As a sports dietitian, I get lots of questions about what's best (or worst) to drink. Here are my answers to just a few commonly asked questions about liquids with calories. Q. Should I stop drinking orange juice because it is loaded with (fattening) carbs and sugar? Q. After a hard workout, I really like having a Coke or Pepsi. How bad is this - for recovery and for my health? Q. Are soft drinks causing the obesity epidemic? Indepenent studies (not funded by the beverage industry) suggest people who drink sugary beverages tend to be heavier than those who do not. This might be because fluid calories fail to "register" (that is, they may not satiate one's appetite), so soda drinkers consume more calories per day. Other studies report soda might trigger the desire to eat more food. Hence, if soda drinking culminates in consuming more calories than you burn off, the result is indeed weight gain. You, as an athlete, can likely enjoy a daily soda without fat gain if you keep the soda-calories within your daily calorie budget. (And please, choose wholesome foods for the rest of your sports diet!) Q. Soft drinks are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Is this really bad for our health? Q. Which is the healthier choice: regular soft drinks (sweetened with HFCS) or diet soft drinks? Q. Is green tea health protective? I have clients who have started drinking Starbucks green tea latte. This is a questionable way to invest in good health. Starbucks 16-ounce Tazo Green Tea Latte offers 230 calories, of which 60 are from fat and 140 from sugar. This likely wipes out the possible health benefits of the green tea... Q. What about Enviga and other green tea beverages that claim to burn calories...? Celsius, another "calorie-burning soda", saw more than $1.5 million in revenue in 2006 and expects to blow past that figure this year. Do you really want to fatten them up with your efforts to slim down? I hope not…. Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD (Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics) counsels both casual and competitive athletes in her private practice at Healthworks, the premier fitness center in Chestnut Hill MA (617-383-6100).

BECKLEY, W.Va. -- Agriculture Commissioner Walt Helmick believes he has the solution to West Virginia's coyote problem.
Helmick is looking at establishing a bounty to encourage hunters to kill the critters.
He said coyotes are the state's biggest predator problem. They are in all 55 counties and pose a threat to both farm animals and domestic pets.
"More of them are being born than we're removing. They're winning the battle,'' Helmick told The Register-Herald.
"We spend a significant amount of money on predator control. About half a million dollars. The feds helped us out a few years ago but aren't doing anything at all now. We've lost the federal support.''
Under Helmick's plan, coyotes would be trapped and their ears would be marked with an identifying number. They would then be released in a different area. Hunters who kill a coyote marked with a number would receive a bounty.
"Hunters will be out there all the time, looking for this type of opportunity, and will probably kill another 25 trying to get to that one, or maybe even kill 100 of them,'' he said.
Details of the plan, such as the bounty amount, are still being worked out.
Helmick wants to expand the state's sheep industry. But he said that will be difficult unless the coyote population is reduced.

People will most definitely come.

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | February 15, 2013 | Trade Paperback
Conceived in love and possibility, Bonaventure Arrow didn''t make a peep when he was born, and the doctor nearly took him for dead. No one knows that Bonaventure''s silence is filled with resonance-a miraculous gift of rarified hearing that encompasses the Universe of Every Single Sound. Growing up in the big house on Christopher Street in Bayou Cymbaline, Bonaventure can hear flowers grow, a thousand shades of blue, and the miniature tempests that rage inside raindrops. He can also hear the gentle voice of his father, William Arrow, shot dead before Bonaventure was born by a mysterious stranger known only as the Wanderer.
Bonaventure''s remarkable gift of listening promises salvation to the souls who love him: his beautiful young mother, Dancy, haunted by the death of her husband; his Grand-mère Letice, plagued by grief and a long-buried guilt she locks away in a chapel; and his father, William, whose roaming spirit must fix the wreckage of the past. With the help of Trinidad Prefontaine, a Creole housekeeper endowed with her own special gifts, Bonaventure will find the key to long-buried mysteries and soothe a chorus of family secrets clamoring to be healed.

On Friday Open Thread
@Lily Rowan It looks like animation to me--at least, the car does. Not 100% sure about the...guy thing. There's something weirdly ominous about it to me despite the chirpy music. Maybe it's the uncanny-valley quality combined with the aggressive nudity.

@stonefruit Oh shit, BART strike! I was planning on BARTing into San Francisco on Sunday to go to the Rainbow Rowell/David Levithan book event on Sunday, buuuuuut I guess I will either have to brave driving there myself or convince my boyfriend he wants to go with me. (Unless there are other Central Valley Pinners who are going too? It's a long shot.)

@fabel I will DEFINITELY not be seeing this in theaters because there's no way it won't make me incredibly motion-sick. (I get motion-sick just from shaky-cam and/or watching people play Portal, so there's no way. NO WAY.)

My powder room downstairs vents to nowhere as well! There is a fan, but not an outlet anywhere, so it too is just blowing air between the joists.
Agree that so many builders will skimp where ever they can. Part of my problem was the lack of code enforcement (or codes for that matter!) in my county when the house was built nearly 20 years ago. Things are improving, but we're still way behind.

Hardy annuals can be sown directly into their flowering positions in the spring and will tolerate a certain amount of cold. Well-known flowers such as sweet peas, poppies, stocks and sunflowers fall under this category, as do some of the more unusual flowers - gomphocarpus & ratibida for example.
CandytuftIberis crenata Whiter-than-white, petals fan down to form an umbrella like flower head with a mauve centre - and they're lightly fragrant too. The plant is covered with bloom in mid summer and viewed from a distance they resemble snow. More info |
