On January 19, the House of Representatives passed a bill to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), by a near party line vote of 245 to 189. While unlikely that the Senate will consider repeal legislation or have the votes needed to override a Presidential veto, the vote was the beginning of a systematic attempt to roll back the PPACA's provisions, including:
Following the signing of the healthcare reform legislation, numerous state's attorneys general filed a joint lawsuit in U.S. District Court contending the PPACA violates Articles I and IV of the Constitution and the Tenth Amendment. The following attachments offer information on this challenge (.pdf)
A recent poll conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News found that only 18 percent of Americans are now in favor of a full repeal of the PPACA and a 56 percent majority said the PPACA should have done more.
Visit the updated ANA Health Care Reform Headquarters and share why health care reform is important to you and your patients, learn more about reform implementation, and find the latest information about repeal efforts.
Several provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), signed into law on March 23, went into effect September 23. NYSNA and the American Nurses Association (ANA) believe this law greatly increases access to care for millions of people, and that it will strengthen and improve the healthcare system for generations. Nurses are encouraged to explain these benefits to their patients, to assist them in optimizing their health and protecting their financial security.
NYSNA believes while this legislation is an enormous step towards reform of health insurance in America, much work remains to ensure affordable healthcare for everyone, and believes these efforts are best financed and achieved through a single payer system.
This toolkit is designed to assist nurses in educating themselves and others about healthcare reform in general, and the single-payer proposal in particular. Items are added to the toolkit as they become available, so check back often for updates and action opportunities. We're pleased to get your feedback; e-mail us your comments today.
NYSNA, with support and assistance from the ANA, will continue to provide resources summarizing this new legislation. Education on what healthcare reform means for everyone is vital, and there is much misinformation being circulated.

At 5:45am, heavy fog sits in all the hollows and rolls up to the roadside and leaves everything beneath it wet. We park in the fresh-cut field and walk over to the registration tent where all is moving along in the proper subdued, pre-dawn manner.
During this, my third year at D2R2 (Deerfield Dirt Road Randonee), I realized how much I love this tent. The volunteers who staff it are uniformly cheerful and kind. There is never a time when someone isn't having a friendly conversation there or warm food isn't being spooned onto a plate. It feels like a good launching point for what will be my biggest day on the bike all year, and I hold it in my head throughout as an oasis at the end, those conversations multiplying exponentially, the smell of pulled pork heavy on the evening breeze. If I can just get back to that still, happy place, all will be well.
Soon we are at the business of nervously pinning on numbers and pulling on gloves. Everyone in the field is in some state of undress, bib straps dangling, shoes being buckled and re-buckled. The long route, the 180km (14,777 ft vertical) , leaves first, and so those who have camped in the adjacent field are still only just stirring in their sleeping bags or stumbling over to the main area for coffee and a bagel.
We roll out later than we intend to, as we always do, but there are enough miles in front of us that we can't spend too much time caring about timeliness. D2R2 is not a ride you bang out and then head home to mow the lawn. D2R2 is your day, and the nature of the riding, mostly up and down in alternately daunting and thrilling bursts, defies your ability to over-plan it.
The morning is cool, verging on cold, just at the edge of arm-warmer range, but I resolve to go without so as to have less to carry throughout the day. My over-sized seat bag has multiple tubes, CO2 cartridges and tools in it; my jersey pockets are stuffed with food. I feel ready, in as much as you can ever be ready for a thing like D2R2.
Almost straight away we are climbing and we are on dirt. These are the event's two main characteristics. If you are coming here to ride this course, any of the courses, you will be climbing and you will be on dirt.
Another primary characteristic is creaking. Chain ring bolts. Bottom brackets. Spokes. All of them straining and lurching against the grade. Torque making itself heard. Dozens of wheezing machines, off key, out of time. And then the whole mess popping and cracking down the descents. Rocks pinging off aluminum rims. Chains slapping stays. The occasional WHOOP of a rider whose rear wheel has momentarily lost traction in the sand.
After the first water break the riding goes from serious to extremely serious. We are only ever going up or coming down. It fatigues the body, but also the mind as it requires close and constant concentration. I force myself to run back down the cassette on the descents, to milk every ounce of gravity for what it's worth. Up over 40 miles, over 50, we are just grinding them out, stroke-by-stroke.
And then, at last, there is a long, twisting descent that careens into the lunch stop at a grassy area by an idyllic covered bridge. Smiling faces pile in. Sandy, the svengali of this particular brand of suffering, is there, as he always is, stalking about in his heavy boots and shorts, making sure everyone is ok, but more importantly that everyone is having fun. The morning's stories are already tumbling out. Minor crashes. Mechanicals. A general sense of disbelief at the scenery and the effort it takes to reach it.
If I am honest, I have been riding with a stomach full of doubt all morning. I have done the thing you must not do, which is to think too much about the miles to come rather than focusing on the road beneath your wheels. At lunch, that doubt lifts. I still feel good. I have seen the sun rise through the pines and haven't put a tire wrong yet. We are past the halfway point.
I stuff my face with food, a sandwich, a handful of cookies, a banana, a bag of chips. I down three ibuprofen with a soda, and I'm ready to go. I know I can do the rest. My companions are going well, and in the early afternoon we crest four steep rises in a row with little effort. Then the course eases up, gives us some long stretches of smooth, easy travel. My Garmin, naively, reins in its estimate of our arrival time.
Free of the constraints of self-doubt and full of calories, the afternoon at D2R2 becomes a sort of spiritual experience. All year, as I ride my local hills and trails, as I incorporate dirt roads into as many road rides as I can, as I sit at my desk day-dreaming of my best moments on the bike, I am thinking of this part of D2R2. This is the part where I am finally inured to the suffering. This is the part where I am able to pick my head up from the bars and see the sweeping vistas, to smile at everyone on the road, knowing that we are all in that same magical place.
We roll inexorably to the finish, anxious to be done, to be back under that tent, but also savoring each mile. Of course, Sandy and his wide grin never allow it to be easy. There is a wall called Archambo, 27% of impossibility, loose and stupid in its difficulty. Of the 40 riders I see there, one makes it up. All others walk.
Then, somewhere past the 90th mile, the road pitches up vertiginously again. Patten Hill Road is a long, dusty, stair-step climb that pushes my heart rate dangerously close to its maximum. I have to find that point between blowing up and falling over, and somehow, just as I suspect I will put a foot down, the angles all tilt in my favor again. Then we are into the last rest station, water melon juice dripping off our chins.
We feel done and begin, at least mentally, to congratulate ourselves. We are not done.
At mile 105 we begin a serpentine downhill through deep sand and large stone. This is, perhaps, the worst road of the day, and it pushes each of us to the brink. Our forearms burn from the effort of steering and braking. Our legs go heavy from pushing through the soft surface. We are crawling again, so close to the finish, so close to finished.
Perhaps the final distinguishing characteristic of D2R2 is that it is relentless. You will need to ride hard all the way to the end.
By the time we spill back onto pavement, adrenaline has taken over the controls and we barrel into Deerfield at 20mph, headed for the salvation of the tent. We finish through the timing corral, which is, in our case, really just a way for the organizers to know we're not still out there, dead in a ditch somewhere. And then we're back at the car, half-dressed again, just trying to get some of the way back to clean and comfortable before attacking the buffet line.
I am not a high-fiver, by nature, but back in the tent I high-five Jesse, who I met on the 115km route two years ago. He lives just off the course himself, and seems to know everybody. We had ridden together throughout the day. He has the misfortune of being as slow fast as I am.
I also high-five the guys from Brooklyn who I suffered through the 150km route with last year. They wonder why they only ever see me when they're at the very end of their rope. I high-five this guy and this guy. I might be delirious with fatigue.
I down a pile of mac n' cheese and another of barbecue. I stuff down a roll. Sodas disappear like singles at the craps table. Everything settles. Someone mentions that there is hot coffee.
It's just getting dark when I leave the comfort of the tent. I don't want to leave. I want to bask in the warm glow a bit longer, but the ibuprofen I gobbled at lunch have long since quit and my back is starting to complain about the folding chair I'm in. Still, it's hard to walk away from D2R2. I spend so much of my year idealizing it, visualizing it, looking forward to it. It has a strange hold on me.
And now I find myself in the same predicament I did in 2011 and 2012, sitting in front of a keyboard, trying to get my head around something larger than myself. There is the scale of it, 180km, nearly 15,000ft of climbing, a whole day on the bike. There is the scenery, picture book New England, technicolor and high-res. There are the people, the ones I only see at D2R2, the ones I meet every year (Hi, Dave Kraus!), and the ones who ride with me. And then there's what happens in my head.
I never believe, despite the evidence, that I can have a day like this on my bike, this big, this beautiful. But year after year, D2R2 delivers. Whether that's by design or by accident (or both), I can't really tell you. This ride will push me forward all year, and maybe a piece of inspiration that size is worth whatever price and whatever effort it takes to get.

Comments about Loxx Strap Lock For Acoustic:
I was unable to use this as it arrrived some two weeks after the strap and my son was already away at schoool with his bass. It was a shame that no one told me there would be a problem in shippping it in a timely fashion. I would have shippped back the item and arrranged to have a diffferent one shippped to his college adddresss if that had been offfered.

Agile Release Pattern: Feature-On/Off-Switch
A feature-on/off-switch is some mechanism to hide features from a system. A feature-on/off-switch must be able to remove menu items concerning the feature and also to prevent adventuresome users from accessing the feature. It may be as crude as commenting out code (not recommended!), to enabling the feature based on a complex set of conditions (also not recommended).
I've encountered features switches triggered by the following mechanisms:
- A configuration file or configuration database table tells the system whether to turn the feature on or off.
- The feature is turned on for users that have a specific role (typically something like BETA_TESTER)
- The feature is turned on when the system is deployed as /foo-preview, but not when the system is deployed as /foo
- The feature is turned on after a specific date. This may seem weird, but was a potential solution when we were waiting for a release of another system and operations-freeze during summer was in effect.
There are probably many more conditions you may use to trigger a feature-on/off-switch. Maybe some of my readers have good examples?

If there is ever a contest for words that substitute for thought, "diversity" should be recognized as the undisputed world champion.
You don't need a speck of evidence, or a single step of logic, to rhapsodize about the supposed benefits of diversity. The very idea of testing this wonderful, magical word against something as ugly as reality seems almost sordid.
To ask whether institutions that promote diversity end up with better or worse relations between the races than institutions that pay no attention to it is only to get yourself regarded as a bad person.
To cite evidence that places obsessed with diversity have worse race relations is to risk getting yourself labeled an incorrigible racist. Free thinking is not free.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the government has a "compelling interest" in promoting diversity - apparently more compelling than the 14th Amendment's requirement of "equal protection" of the law for everybody.
How does a racially homogeneous country like Japan manage to have high-quality education, without diversity, for which there is supposedly a "compelling" need?
Conversely, why does India, one of the most diverse nations on Earth, have a record of intolerance and lethal violence today that is worse than in the Jim Crow South?
To ask such questions is to provoke charges of motives too low to be dignified with an answer. Not that the true believers in diversity could answer anyway.
The runner-up to "diversity" as the top word for making thought obsolete is "fair."
Apparently everyone is entitled to a "fair share" of a society's prosperity, whether they worked 16-hour days to help create that prosperity or did nothing more than live off the taxpayers or depend on begging or crime to bring in a few bucks.
Apparently we owe them something just for gracing us with their presence, even if we feel that we could do without them quite well.
At the other end of the income scale, the rich are supposed to pay their "fair share" of taxes.

Seed Colorful Radar Light 100 Eraser - Redby Seed |
$1.65 |
Order today! 18 left in stock and ready to ship! This Radar Light eraser is easy to use and pleasant to look at! It comes in a colorful variety of light colors with cases to match. It erases smoothly and thoroughly with a light touch, and due to its soft quality, the shavings are clumps rather than messy dust. The case is well-designed too. While erasing, the corners of typical eraser cases tend to dig into the erasers, causing eraser nicks or breakages at those contact points. To prevent this, the Radar Light case has notches in the corners that disperse the pressure between the eraser and case, thus reducing nicks and breaks. This is Radar eraser size 100. Dimensions: 2.2 x 0.9 x 0.4 inches (5.5 x 2.3 x 1.1 cm). |

Portugal's second city, Porto, is dramatically situated at the mouth of the Rio Douro, its old quarters scrambling up the rocky north bank in tangled tiers. It's the de facto capital of the north, and a massively atmospheric place, almost Dickensian in parts, that's well worth a couple of days of your time – more if you plan to make a serious assault on the port wine lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia, across the river. For a convenient trip to the coast, the pretty town of Vila do Conde, 45 minutes to the north, offers a taste of what's to come as you head into the Minho. East of Porto, the N15 or much faster A4 motorway runs inland to the vinho verde-producing towns of Penafiel and Amarante, the latter perhaps the single most attractive town in the region, set on the lazy Rio Tâmega.
Inevitably, however, it's the Rio Douro ("River of Gold") that dominates the region, winding for over 200km from the Spanish border to the sea, with port wine lodges and tiny villages dotted above intricately terraced hillsides. It was once a wild and unpredictable river, though after the port-producing area was first demarcated in the eighteenth century, engineering works soon tamed the worst of the rapids and opened up the Douro for trade. The railway reached the Spanish border by the end of the nineteenth century, while the building of hydroelectric dams and locks along the river's length in the 1970s and 1980s turned the Douro into a series of navigable ribbon lakes.
It's possible to cruise all the way from Porto to Barca d'Alva on the Spanish border, while the drive along the Douro also makes for an unforgettable journey. But take the train at least part of the way if you can. The old narrow-gauge branch lines (to Amarante, Vila Real and Mirandela) are sadly no longer operational, but the main Douro train line itself is no slouch for scenery – particularly once you've reached the rough halfway point, marked by the port wine town and cruise centre of Peso da Régua. Just to the south of Régua, a slight detour takes in the delightful Baroque pilgrimage town of Lamego. Beyond Régua, the main stop is the idyllically set wine town of Pinhão, and the train line continues to hug the river as far as its terminus at Pocinho, though the Douro still has a way to go, winding on to the border at Barca d'Alva. However, following the uppermost reaches of the Douro is impossible by road beyond Pinhão, with the N222 finally veering south of the river to reach the extraordinary collection of Paleolithic rock engravings near Vila Nova de Foz Côa.

Along the Douro
Along the Douro
The Douro river route is one of the great European journeys, a careering 200-kilometre ride or stately cruise from Porto to the Spanish border. The full river journey there and back is in a class of its own, and pricey, all-inclusive cruises can take as long as a week, though short tours from Porto or Peso da Régua give you a flavour of the river. In many ways the train is best, though you'll have a lot more scope in a car to visit wineries, stay in rural quintas en route and hang around at the majestic dams to watch the boats come through the locks. Be warned that the roads are very winding and often fairly precipitous, though they are all in good condition. It can also take much longer than you think to get from A to B, so give yourself plenty of time.
You can drive all the way from Porto, following the N108, though in reality the first 40km or so is nothing special. Things pick up at Entre-os-Rios ("between the rivers"), 12km south of Penafiel, which is the point at which the Douro and Tâmega rivers meet. Stick to the N108 along the north bank and the road is set a fair way inland of the river for much of the route, though you'll get some stunning views at times before finally descending to Peso da Régua, 80km and a good couple of hours later.
If you cross the bridge at Entre-os-Rios to the south bank of the Douro, you're in for a treat of a drive along the increasingly picturesque N222. It's undoubtedly one of those "best in Portugal" routes, with the most compelling section the 40km or so between Cinfães and Peso da Régua, where the road hugs the terraced hills high above the glinting river. There's the occasional panoramic café, and iron gates at intervals announcing venerable quintas tucked into the hillside folds, while at the sleepy spa town of Caldas de Aregos, where the Douro has been dammed, there's a whiff of sulphur in the air, a quayside marina and an outdoor café. The settlements beyond nearly all boast a Romanesque church, the most significant being Santa Maria de Carquere, a twisting 5km above the small town of Resende. Part of a convent dating back as early as 1099, this is now set amid family vineyards, with extensive views across the rolling hills beyond. The N222 eventually descends to Peso da Régua (though you can also cut south over the hills on the N226 to reach Lamego) and then embarks on its straightest but most river-hugging section, the relatively quick 25km to Pinhão.
Beyond Pinhão, roads on either side climb away from the river and as far as following the Douro is concerned it's trains only, on to the halts of Tua and Pocinho.
The Linha do Douro – Portugal's best train ride
The Linha do Douro – Portugal's best train ride
A true engineering marvel when it opened in 1887, the Linha do Douro (Douro Line; whttp://www.cp.pt) still thrills passengers today. In its heyday it crossed the border to Spain (for a through service to Salamanca and Madrid) and sprouted some stunning valley branch lines, but even though these elements are no more, it's still some ride – 160km of river-hugging track from Porto to Pocinho, via more than 20 tunnels, 30 bridges and 34 stations.
There are regular daily departures from Porto (São Bento and Campanhã) and you change on to the smaller Douro Line trains at Peso da Régua (just "Régua" on timetables). Régua also marks the point at which the Douro Line turns from a good route into a great one, sticking closely to the river from then on, cutting into the rock face and crisscrossing the water on rickety bridges. Some of the stations are no more than a shelter on a platform, used by the local wine quintas, though there are useful stops at Pinhão (a pretty port-producing town), Tua (a cruise halt with a good restaurant) and finally Pocinho (for Vila Nova de Foz Câo and its rock art).
The port wine story
The port wine story
If ever a drink was synonymous with a country it's port – the fortified wine from Portugal's Douro region. For three centuries wine has been shipped down the Douro River to Vila Nova de Gaia, whose famous wine lodges (Sandeman, Graham's, Cockburn, Taylor's) reflect the early British influence on its production. A cellar tour here forms an integral part of any visit to Porto, while you can also follow the wine trail right along the Douro by train, car or cruise boat. To find out more, the country's port wine institute, the Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e do Porto (w http://www.ivdp.pt), has a useful English-language website, while the Rota do Vinho do Porto (w http://www.rvp.pt) details the region's wine estates, attractions and events.
Developing a taste – the early days
The clear distinction between port wine (vinho do porto) and other Portuguese wines wasn't made until the beginning of the eighteenth century, when Britain prohibited the import of French wines during the War of the Spanish Succession. Portuguese wines quickly filled the void and, following the Methuen Treaty (1703), the wine trade became so profitable that adulterated inferior wines were soon being passed off as the genuine article. This led to the creation of a regulatory body in 1756, the Companhia Geral da Agricultura das Vinhas do Alto Douro, and, the following year, the declaration of the world's oldest demarcated wine region (where port wine could now only legitimately be produced). Yet it wasn't until the mid-nineteenth century that it began to resemble today's fortified wine, when the addition of brandy to stop fermentation became widespread, enabling the wines to be transported over even longer distances.
The Douro wine route
The port wine grapes are grown in a 600,000-acre demarcated region along both banks of the Rio Douro, stretching from Mesão Frio (near Peso da Régua) to the Spanish border. Sheltered by the Marão and Montemuro ranges, around fifteen percent of the region is under vines which benefit from cold winters and hot, dry summers. The characteristic terraces can be seen along the length of the Douro, and they form a particularly beautiful backdrop to the small town of Pinhão, which is now the main centre for quality ports. The grapes are harvested at the quintas (vineyard estates) from September to October and crushed. After a few days fermentation is arrested by the addition of brandy – exactly when this is done determines the wine's sweetness – with the wine subsequently stored in casks until the following March. The final stage in the wine route is the transportation downstream to the shippers' lodges, where the wine is blended and matures.
What's in the bottle?
Port wine is either Ruby (ie deep red) in style, Tawny (made from a blend of differently aged wines) or white – the first two are generally drunk at the end of a meal, or with cheese or dessert, the last served chilled as an aperitif. The finest reds are known as Vintages, wines from a single year that are bottled two to three years after harvest and left to mature. A vintage is only declared in certain years (just fourteen times between 1901 and 1999), and the wine is only ready to drink at least ten to fifteen years after bottling, when the flavours are at their most complex, the wine deep purple and full-bodied. Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) is not of vintage quality, but is still good enough to mature in bottles, to which it's transferred after four to six years in the cask. All other ports are blended and are kept in the cask for between two and seven or more years, with the colour developing into various shades of Tawny – they are ready to drink when bottled. Of these, a Colheita ("Harvest") is a Tawny port made from grapes from a specific year and aged at least seven years in the cask; other fine wines are superior Tawnies dated 10, 20, 30 or 40 years old (the average age of the wines in the blend), while Reserve ports (both Tawny and Ruby) are decent blended wines, the best being the Tawny Reserve ports which have to spend at least seven years in the cask.

Get started with Facebook Graph Search Video
Get started with Facebook Graph Search Video Transcript
You've always been able to search on Facebook, but the interface was clunky and it was always really hard to find what you were looking for. Now Facebook is rolling out Graph Search, a much more robust search tool that lets you search just about anything friends have shared with you on Facebook. So the first thing to do, if you haven't already, is sign up for Graph Search Beta which you can do by heading over to Facebook.com/about/graphsearch and scroll down to the bottom and hit sign up. Once you get Graph Search, Facebook will alert you, and your navigation bar will morph into something that looks like this, so the search bar is on the left and all of your friend requests, messages, and notifications are on the right. Now you can use Graph Search to search the web, and if you search for something like oh, how to find lost iPhone, it'll redirect you to a Bing search within Facebook, but most of the time you'll use Graph Search to search within Facebook content. So let me show you a few examples. So I can search for something like photos I liked in 2013, and all the photos that I liked in 2013 will show up, but I can also expand that search, make it more specific by saying something like photos in 2013 I liked and commented on, and the results will be much more specific. So that's an example of how you can search within content that you or your friends have contributed, but you can also search public Facebook contents. So for example I can search photos taken in San Francisco, California, and any photo that was shared publicly and shot in San Francisco will show up. Now if you click on the module on the right, you can further refine that search by defining photos of people, the date the photo was taken, and so on. Another fun way to use Graph Search is to get recommendations. So I can search for something like books read by CEOs, people who are CEOs, and a list of books read by people who are CEOs will show up in the results. I can also do something like friends who like gluten-free restaurants. The possibilities are endless and this might sound crazy, but you might start using Graph Search to find a date. So watch out eHarmony because check this out. I can do something like men who live in San Francisco and like basketball and are over the age of 25. Okay. So it looks like this guy is in a relationship, so let's further refine the search and say single men who live in San Francisco and like basketball and are over the age of 25. So as you get started with Graph Search, have fun with it. Find a date or maybe discover a new restaurant in town. It might change the way you use Facebook. Oh and before you ask, don't worry about your privacy settings; they haven't changed. All Graph Search does is surface the data you and your friends have already contributed. With that being said though, you might wanna go ahead and check your privacy settings again. Go ahead and visit this link for my blog on that topic. For CNET.com, I'm Sharon Vaknin.

Our Curious World of Mirror Images combines science seamlessly with philosophy to propose new concept.
Atlanta (PRWEB) February 12, 2014
In his new book, Our Curious World of Mirror Images: Reflections on how Symmetry Frames our Universe, Empowers the Creative Process and Provides Context to Shape our Lives (published by Balboa Press), philosopher Titus Joseph draws on concepts from ancient philosophy, science and even religion to unveil a new model of the universe that explains how all things come into existence.
Today, with all the advances in science, including cosmology, quantum mechanics and relativity, Joseph says, I am prepared to demonstrate using advanced science and philosophy, a new theory that explains how things come into existence through the curious symmetries found everywhere in nature.
The central concept of Our Curious World of Mirror Images is called positional symmetry (requisite mirror image). The book begins by introducing readers to the beauty and universality of symmetry, and the paradox of duality. Joseph outlines holistic philosophies, past ideas about space and time, new concepts from Einsteins theory of relativity, and recent discoveries from the science of cosmology.
After providing a broad overview of the universe and a brief background in quantum theory, Our Curious World of Mirror Images explains the new concept using illustrations and examples from everyday life. The new paradigm serves as a lens to conceive how things come into being and illustrates a new model of the universe, all in an accessible manner for anyone to read. The end result reconciles many polarized views and brings considerable amounts of added meaning to life.

Digital content from the papers of M. L. (Marc La Riviere) Stangroom is now available online as part of Western Libraries' Digital Collections. Born in England in 1832, Stangroom travelled to America as a young man, where he engaged in railroad surveying work and mining speculation in California and the Sierra Nevadas. In 1888, at the request of railroad magnate Pierre Cornwall, Stangroom moved to Bellingham, Washington to assist in building the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia railway.
The new online collection includes digital copies and transcripts of correspondence from Stangroom to family members about his travels and experiences from 1855 through 1873. These handwritten letters provide extensive and fascinating detail of his early life and career, and vivid descriptions of western landscapes including California redwood forests and the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Stangroom documents gold prospecting efforts, life in the mining town of Michigan Bluff (Placer County, California), and interactions between white settlers and the Native American population. A June 1858 letter describes how Californians are driven "stark raving mad" by the lure of gold in British Columbia, with hundreds of men leaving daily for the Fraser River. Stangroom's letters also reveal aspects of his personal and family life, including his courtship and marriage.
Illustrated portion of a December 2, 1855 letter by M.L. Stangroom.
The online collection includes full-text, searchable transcripts of all letters, a 16 page reminiscence by Stangroom about his life (also transcribed), and a fifteen-page report about the construction of the Bellingham Bay & British Columbia Railroad. Completed in 1891, the BB&BC Railroad provided a rail connection from Bellingham to Sumas and the transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway.
The original and larger collection of Stangroom papers is archived and available at WWU's Center for Pacific Northwest (CPNWS). A complete guide to the collection is available online.
Additional CPNWS holdings on the Bellingham Bay & British Columbia Railroad include corporate records of the Bellingham Bay Improvement Company. Related images are available in the Bruce Cheever Railroad Photograph Collection and through the online CPNWS Photo Database.
This 1958 film shows the use and impact of fish traps and set nets as part of commercial fishing operations in Clam Gulch, Alaska. The footage was captured originally on 16mm film by Rubin R. Tikka, and later donated to WWU's Center for Pacific Northwest Studies.
The history of fish, fishing and the use of commercial fish traps in the Pacific Northwest is surrounded by conflict and controversy. Use of fish traps or other "fixed appliances for catching salmon and other fish" was banned in Washington State in 1935 following voter passage of Initiative 77 the previous year. Fish traps were not outlawed in Alaska until Alaskan statehood (1959) - very shortly after this footage was captured.
Western Libraries' Heritage Resources programs offer a wide range of archival and other resources about fish and fishing. These include materials documenting commercial fisheries, Native American fishing and treaty rights, and fly fishing. See this Research Guide or Contact CPNWS or Special Collections for additional information.

Western Libraries celebrate the digitization of the first 50 years of the Western Front.
The first 50 years of the WWU Student Newspaper is now online. Phase One of the project is complete. Phase Two begins, as we start to process the next fifty years of the Western Front.
Check out the collection on the Digital Collections page, located under libraries & collections on the library home page.
The WWU Libraries are now members of the Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST), a distributed retrospective print journal repository program serving research libraries, college and university libraries, and library consortia in the Western Region of the United States.
WEST is a collaborative and sustainable journal archiving program that will transform the manner in which legacy print journal collections are housed and managed.
WEST will provide secure access to backfiles, increased access to titles never previously held, and value-added services (digital access), providing a robust framework that supports a long-term, distributed print repository. The program will preserve the scholarly record through a coordinated system of persistent archives and will make visible those archives and retention commitments at the national/international level.
Current partners include libraries from the University of California system, Stanford, Arizona State, University of Washington, the University of Oregon, members of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA), and the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC). Additional academic libraries plan to join the project as it moves into implementation.

Between 2005 and 2007, then Fairhaven College student Coty Hogue interviewed founders and members of the Society, who shared many music-related memories dating from the 1960s to the present day.
Interview transcripts can now be accessed and enjoyed online as part of Western Librares Digital Collections - a complete guide to transcripts and audio recordings archived at the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies is also available here.

Since its beginnings in 1899 as a "Normal School," there has been a student newspaper at Western Washington University. From Normal Messenger to Northwest Viking to WWCollegian to Western Front (and other names in between), the student newspaper has chronicled the social, athletic, academic and creative life of the institution throughout its trajectory from teacher-training college to a prominent university with more than 15,000 students.
Thanks to the generosity of donations from Cindy Hacherl (Class of 1984) and Don Hacherl and Bert Halprin (class of 1971) more than a century of back editions of the student newspaper are being digitized by Western Libraries Special Collections.
Cindy Hatcherl and Bert Halprin are former Western Front student journalists. "It's often said that journalism is the first draft of history, and thanks to this wonderful gift from Cindy, Don and Bert, the first draft of Western's history — as published in the Front — will now be available to a much broader audience," said John Harris, interim chair of the Department of Journalism.
The process of scanning and digitizing the back issues is ongoing but what has been scanned thus far can be accessed at http://content.wwu.edu/cdm-wfront/browse.php The culture of the times, the evolution of the campus and the sweep of campus leaders and activities all emerge from back editions. Readers can learn about campus and local life in 1899, read about how people coped with the Great Depression or local concerns as World War II loomed.
Digitizing the Western student newspaper was initiated by Marian Alexander; Tamara Belts, Sandy Celec, Leslie Lowery, and Peter Smith are library personnel currently working on the project. More than 55,000 pages will be digitized when the project is completed. Readers will be able to browse or search the newspapers from anywhere at any time.
"We hope this will be a great resource for students, the community and those doing research on local history," said Tamara Belts, Special Collections manager.
The project was facilitated through the efforts of the Western Washington University Foundation. For more information on this or other Digital Collections available online via Western Libraries, please see: http://library.wwu.edu/digitalcollections

As one of the three Heritage Resources programs at Western Libraries, the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies provides a wealth of local & regional resources for primary source research.
CPNWS holdings include a wide variety of resources about the regional commercial fishing industry. Pictured here is a digitized letter from the Archie W. Shiels Papers, in which Filipino workers protest conditions at the Pacific American Fisheries cannery in Nushagak, Alaska (letter dated June 15, 1933). Archie W. Shiels was then President of the Pacific American Fisheries, a major salmon fishing and packing operation headquartered in Fairhaven, Washington.
Additional CPNWS holdings related to fish and fishing include the Pacific American Fisheries Records, Alaska Packers Association Records, Northwest Ethnohistory Collection, Women in the Commercial Fishing Industry Research Collection and the holdings of Galen Biery, a long-term PAF employee and one of Bellingham's best-known historians.
Western Libraries houses additional primary sources about the regional fishing industry & canneries, including Filipino American newspapers on microfilm such as the Alaska Fish Cannery Workers Union of the Pacific. The Washington State Oral/Aural History program (available on microfilm at CPNWS and at the main library) meanwhile contains transcripts from interviews conducted in the 1970s, documenting lives and experiences of African Americans and Filipinos in Washington State.
If you're seeking primary sources about campus, local or regional history, consult Western Libraries and the Heritage Resources staff and archival collections: these are the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies, Western Libraries' Special Collections, and/or the WWU Archives and Records Center. Links to additional and useful primary source repositories are also included in the Library Guide "Resources for Researching Local and Regional History".

Get Ready for Shark Week 2012
You've been waiting for it all summer, and now it's finally here — Shark Week returns this Sunday, August 12th! Oceana is again a conservation partner, and we've got some fin-ominal stuff in store this year.
Need some help preparing for the sharkiest week of the year? Have no fear, we're here to help! Here are some ways you can gear up for Shark Week's 25th year:
1. Spread the Shark Week Love
Have your friends over for a watch party. Check out Discovery's programming schedule and pick out the shows that look the best. "Great White Highway" follows shark scientists in their effort to solve some of the more mysterious behaviors of the most well-known shark in the world. It's also narrated by our board member Ted Danson! Check it out on Thursday, August 16th at 9 p.m.
2. Spend Shark Week with Oceana
We're so excited about Shark Week that we're going to be live-tweeting all the new shows! Follow along on our Twitter — we'll be watching along with you and answering your shark questions. And look out for some fun Shark Week swag give-aways.
You can also share photos and stories with us via Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.
3. Protect Sharks
For one week a year, over 30 million Americans are glued to their TV sets, transfixed by incredible stories of amazing, powerful sharks. But the true story is that they can't save themselves from their top predator: us.
Right now there are only a few hundred adult great white sharks remaining of the U.S. West Coast. They are in danger of extinction, but you can help. Sign today to help great whites off the West Coast get listed under the Endangered Species Act.. [link to action page] You can also help spread the word through social media by signing up at Thunderclap.it/sharkweek.
Make sure that Shark Week isn't the only time you care about sharks. They're great to watch on TV, but we need them in the wild, too!
Sharks by the Numbers
As shark week comes to a close, we thought we'd hit you with the good stuff: numbers. Here are some of the most revealing statistics about sharks that we could find:
400 million: Approximate number of years that sharks have been on planet Earth.
50: Number of shark species that are listed as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of threatened species
138,894: Number of people in the U.S. who suffered ladder-related injuries in 1996.
13: Number who suffered shark-related injuries in the U.S. in 1996.
22 million: Amount, in pounds, of shark fins that were imported into Hong Kong in 2008, making it the world's largest single market for the product.

Preparing students for transition from elementary to middle school.
It is very important to prepare students for differnt transition that they face in school such as transitioning from school levels to school levels. Elementary is very differnet from middle schoo, the way that students are look upon and the way that their hands are held is different. Students are still yound babies when leaving elementary they are still doing coloring worksheets, definding numbers, alphabets, and still having recess. The elementary years are still very crucial for students who are still playing, finding themselves as a little boy are girl instead of a big boy are girl. Once in middle school learning goes from adding, subtracting, mutiplication and division to fractions, problem solving and upper class work that is more challenging.Students are very determined to do what ever is making them motivated, by helping them define before leaving elementary helps in a huge way.

Home > Houston Methodist Research Institute > News & Events > Powerhouse Cancer Geneticists Copeland & Jenkins Named to Key Roles at The Methodist Hospital R |
HOUSTON (May 26, 2011) - The internationally-acclaimed husband and wife team, Neal Copeland, Ph.D. and Nancy Jenkins, Ph.D., that has identified hundreds of cancer-causing genes joins The Methodist Hospital Research Institute (TMHRI) in Houston. They begin October 3 as the first luminary scholars recruited by Texas through the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT).
Among the most-cited biomedical scientists in the world, Drs. Copeland and Jenkins, will serve as co-directors of a basic cancer research program for TMHRI and the Methodist Cancer Center. They are both members of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences (NAS), and have identified genes associated with numerous cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, pancreatic, lung, breast and prostate. Their research proves that it is possible to model virtually any type of human cancer in mice.
"Neal and Nancy bring to Methodist and Houston the ability to decipher and characterize the genetic changes required to promote or sustain tumor formation," said Mauro Ferrari, Ph.D., TMHRI's president and CEO. "Methodist has the ideal research environment that will help them translate the enormous knowledge database of these important cancer genes to treatment strategies for human cancer. We are altering the face of traditional academic medical research, and they will be a huge part of this change as it pertains to cancer research."
Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment in 2007 establishing CPRIT and authorizing the state to issue $3 billion in bonds to fund groundbreaking cancer research and prevention programs and services in Texas. Methodist applied for a $15 million grant from CPRIT to further the couple's work in analyzing the cancer genome. CPRIT's board is expected to vote on the grant this July.
"These outstanding researchers will take cancer genomic research to the next level, by integrating their novel technologies to bear on the driving causes of cancer," said Dr. Jenny Chang, director of the Methodist Cancer Center. "Adding their expertise will catapult the Methodist Cancer Center into one of the world's leading cancer genomic research hubs."
The couple returns to the United States after spending five years at Singapore's A*STAR (Agency for Science, Technology and Research). Copeland was executive director of the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), and Jenkins served as deputy director of IMCB's Genetics and Genomics Division.
Since meeting as postdoctoral fellows at Harvard Medical School more than 30 years ago, Copeland and Jenkins have worked together to model different types of human disease in mice, but the focus of their current research is cancer. Over the past three decades, they have co-authored more than 780 papers and been cited more than 30,000 times.
In their research to induce different types of human cancer in mice, Copeland and Jenkins discovered ways of manipulating the genetic structure of "Sleeping Beauty," a mutagenic transposon, which is a sequence of DNA that can move around to different positions within the genome of a single cell. When moving around, a transposon can cause mutations of cancer-causing genes. The transposon then serves as a molecular tag to identify the cancer-causing genes. With these cancer models, as well as recent advancements in cloning and sequencing technologies, they hope to better understand and devise more effective treatment strategies for various forms of human cancer.
"The addition of Drs. Copeland and Jenkins to our Research Institute is a major accomplishment toward Methodist's vision of improving patient care through research," said Ron Girotto, president and CEO, The Methodist Hospital System. "They will be translating science into new treatments for cancer that will directly benefit millions of patients."
Copeland received his Ph.D. degree in biochemistry from the University of Utah; Jenkins received her Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology from Indiana University. Following their postdoctoral studies at Harvard Medical School, they joined The Jackson Laboratory before moving to the National Cancer Institute-Frederick where Copeland headed the molecular genetics of oncogenesis section and also served as director of the mouse cancer genetics program. Jenkins headed the molecular genetics of development section.
They have served on numerous scientific advisory and editorial boards and have consulted for several biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Distinguished lectures include the Harvey Lecture at Rockefeller University and the G. Burroughs Mider Lecture at the National Institutes of Health.

► Astyanax cavefish have lost aggressive behavior during adaptation to life in the dark ► Astyanax raphe serotonergic neurons control social behavior ► Astyanax hypothalamic serotonergic neurons control homeostatic functions ► The development of a neuronal network links to the behaviors it controls
Within the species Astyanax mexicanus, there are several interfertile populations of river-dwelling sighted fish and cave-dwelling blind fish which have evolved morphological and behavioral adaptations, the origins of which are unknown. Here, we have investigated the neural, genetic, and developmental bases for the evolution of aggressive behavior in this teleost.
We used an intruder-resident behavioral assay to compare aggressiveness quantitatively (attack counts) and qualitatively (pattern and nature of attacks) between the surface and cave populations of Astyanax. Using this paradigm, we characterize aggressive behavior in surface fish, bring support for the genetic component of this trait, and show that it is controlled by raphe serotonergic neurons and that it corresponds to the establishment of dominance between fish. Cavefish have completely lost such aggressive/dominance behavior. The few attacks performed by cavefish during the behavioral test instead correspond to food-seeking behavior, driven by the developmental evolution of their hypothalamic serotonergic paraventricular neurons, itself due to increased Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early forebrain embryogenesis.
We propose that during evolution and adaptation to their cave habitat, cavefish have undergone a behavioral shift, due to modifications of their serotonergic neuronal network. They have lost the typical aggressive behavior of surface fish and evolved a food-seeking behavior that is probably more advantageous to surviving in the dark. We have therefore demonstrated a link between the development of a neuronal network and the likely adaptive behaviors it controls.

DRM (Digital Rights Management) is sometimes iffy with crossover so you will probably have to crack it to make it playable, though bootcamp and a real windows installation will probably work better (at the cost of a windows license and partition space) and is often preferred with modern(ish) games.

Bootcamp and Windows sits on its own partition and or drive and does NOT affect the running of your Mac OS. Crossover will drive you mad, it has to be the worst thing I ever invested money in and I never ever managed to get it to run anything.
