JACKSONVILLE ŌĆō Gus Bradley remains determined to not focus on victories and losses.
But while the JaguarsŌĆÖ first-year head coach said on Monday he will remain true to that approach, and true to his philosophy, he also said that winning and losing obviously do matter.
The best way to move toward winning?
Bradley said the key there may be getting the Jaguars to stop beating themselves.
ŌĆ£What IŌĆÖm seeing (Sunday) is weŌĆÖre hurting ourselves,ŌĆØ Bradley said Monday, a day after the Jaguars lost a fourth consecutive game to start the 2013 regular season, 37-3, to the Indianapolis Colts at EverBank Field in Jacksonville.
ŌĆ£The penalties, not executing assignments correctly ŌĆō those things, we hurt ourselves. When we get to where we clean all those things up, and weŌĆÖre playing at our highest level, then letŌĆÖs make that evaluation. ThatŌĆÖs my responsibility to our team, and to our fans and to our city.ŌĆØ
Bradley also said he realizes the frustration associated with a winless start.
ŌĆ£I know theyŌĆÖre saying, ŌĆśLetŌĆÖs get this corrected,ŌĆÖŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£The team is saying, ŌĆśWe need to get this corrected.ŌĆÖ IŌĆÖm saying, ŌĆśI know, and IŌĆÖm responsible for that. IŌĆÖm the leader and IŌĆÖm going to give it my heart and soul to get there as fast as I can.ŌĆÖ This is the way I believe we have to do it.ŌĆØ
The Jaguars were outgained 437-205 by the Colts, with Indianapolis holding a 36:38-23:22 time-of-possession advantage. The Jaguars have lost each of their first four games by at least 10 points.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs human nature; it is a result league,ŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre trying to stay away from that (emphasizing winning and losing). Not that itŌĆÖs not important ŌĆö itŌĆÖs very important to us, but we feel the quickest way to get there is through our process. WeŌĆÖll utilize that. If there is some frustration on the part of our players, thatŌĆÖs OK ŌĆō as long as we utilize that to get better.
ŌĆ£I think we have to do a better job maximizing our players, and to challenge them and put them in the right position. Then, they have to accept that responsibility and make a play. ThatŌĆÖs what we canŌĆÖt get away from.ŌĆØ
Bradley, as he did Sunday, emphasized the need for better execution, and better fundamentals. Offensively, he said the offensive and defensive line needs to play with lower pad level, and he said defensively there were times the team was in position to make plays and did not.
ŌĆ£We were there ŌĆō we just didnŌĆÖt make a play,ŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£So, you say, ŌĆśAll right. LetŌĆÖs continue to teach them.ŌĆÖ LetŌĆÖs tell them more: ŌĆśWe expect you to make that play.ŌĆÖ ThatŌĆÖs what weŌĆÖre going through right now as far as the teaching.ŌĆØ
Bradley said overall he wasnŌĆÖt displeased with the JaguarsŌĆÖ run defense Sunday. While the Jaguars allowed 154 yards on 29 carries, 50 yards came on a trap-play run by Donald Brown that featured two missed tackles and 17 more yards came on a scramble by Colts quarterback Andrew Luck.
Bradley said while he doesnŌĆÖt discount those plays, overall the run defense was acceptable.
ŌĆ£As far as our base-core defenses, and how weŌĆÖre playing them against the run, guys are where they need to be and theyŌĆÖre fitting it up,ŌĆØ Bradley said.

Exploring the Hubble Sequence by EyeScrutinizing Spirals
The remaining galaxies in the Markarian Chain are all early-type galaxies. NGC 4461 is a lenticular whose prominent bar and rings we view obliquely. NGC 4477, toward the chain's northeast end, is a face-on lenticular that shows some spiral structure.
M88 is our first definite spiral galaxy (type Sb), and a beauty it is! Medium-size telescopes show a fairly bright oval halo surrounding a moderately large and somewhat brighter oval core. Higher powers best show the very small nucleus. These three components of the visual impression are common to ordinary spiral galaxies. Ellipticals and many lenticulars lack this three-part halo-core-nucleus zonation; instead, they fade from center to edge without any kind of plateau. Relative to the galaxy as a whole, M88's nucleus is not as prominent as those of the lenticulars, but is it brighter or fainter than they in absolute terms? Switch views among some of the similarly bright Markarian Chain lenticulars and compare for yourself.
About 50 arcminutes to the east of M88 lies a barred spiral galaxy, M91. With a Hubble type of SBb, M91 is comparable in a sense to M88, but it shows a larger and brighter bulge relative to the arms, as well as a prominent bar. The difference between the two galaxies is evident even with my 70-mm Pronto, in which M91's bar appears elongated nearly east-west within a faint circular halo. The bar was even more readily visible to Stephen James O'Meara in a 4-inch refractor, according to his 1998 guidebook, The Messier Objects.
More regular in appearance is M100, a bright face-on spiral north of the most crowded parts of the Virgo Cluster. Given its Hubble type (Sbc) we expect to see a small, modestly bright core, which M100 delivers. Interestingly, however, M100 lacks a conspicuous nucleus, as I've noted in several observations I've made with telescope apertures up to 12 inches. Larger telescopes again reveal a number of subtle spiral features, particularly at high power.

There's a species of bacopa that lives naturally in both fresh and brackish water... Titan... Adult Opae Ula *may* be safe with bumblebee gobies, but I doubt their larvae would be. Raihana, if you'd like to try some chaeto, let me know. I have more than enough to share and would be happy to send you some. It would do great in the sump. The live rock that I put in my Opae tanks have grown some interesting algae including a green form of coralline that I've never seen in my reef tanks. Aside from the algae a few small feather duster worms and small bristle worms emerged. The latter (and some amphipods I purposely added) keep the sand aerated.

This is the tank in question. (Excuse the green, the cleaning crew (me) has been exceptionally busy the past few weeks) The puffers live in the top tank. They don't (and won't) have any tank mates beyond the freshwater snails they are fed on. They will not fit through the intake that leads to the refugium (bottom right in pic). A sponge pre-filter keeps livestock from the trickle filter to the left. The hope is that the shrimp will help with water quality and add interest :-) Attachment 287306 (Just now realizing that I have effectively hi-jacked the thread. Sorry ) |

I think I know the answer to this but I will ask it anyway.... What does everyone think of a Bumble Bee Goby and Opae Ula coexisting? I use to own a few BBG several years ago and I know they stay tiny but I'm curious of they would go after the shrimp. Opae Ula are rather energetic and always moving around. I'm just trying to think of another species that could coexist with the shrimp. |
Today 04:02 AM | ||
Raihana |
The only thing still holding on is a small bit of java moss (but even it isn't thriving). I am currently hardening off some christmas moss in the hopes it will be more successful. Planning to raise the SG anyway since the puffers are about ready to step up. I got a deal on a bit of live rock at a chain last night. Thinking about creeping the SG down on them VERY SLOWLY in another tank and see what survives, I've always thought live rock was cool. If anything nasty shows up I'll just move it to the main puffer tank! |

dubels | Man I have to find a way to block this thread. Thanks for posting this all up. But it keeps making me think a small tank for these shrimp is doable when I already have 7 running already. Maybe I'll make an eccosphere version for my parents. | |

alibird | I would think that housing shrimp with puffers would just mean that the puffers get a tasty snack as they are fast, inquisitive and constantly hungry but maybe I am wrong. | |
Yesterday 06:34 PM | ||
PokeSephiroth | Heya Rob! I, too, spent all day reading this entire thread, and I'm really glad that it's still very active! I'm curious if you sell your Opae Ulas at all? I've been trying to look for local sources in Washington (I'm in Bremerton), and I would love to buy some off of you once I get my tank set up! Or if you know any sources that do sell them local, that would be great! | |
Yesterday 12:35 PM | ||
Raihana | They are pretty adaptable and it is recommended that they be kept at higher SG as they age anyway, I just haven't stepped it up yet, at least partially because I keep trying to adapt some plantlife (and failing.) | |
Yesterday 09:22 AM | ||
Rob in Puyallup |
Hi Raihana , Your current SG of 1.005 does seem low to me for both opae ula and the macro algae that I've been keeping at around 1.012. How adaptable are puffers? Would they be okay at a higher level of at least 1.010? When I set up my first opae tank I added cured live rock (meaning no obvious life on it, and the water that it was cured in measured zero ammonia and nitrites and low nitrates), to the tank immediately after adding water. Within a couple days I added the opae ula. There was no problem with the shrimp, they were happy, healthy and breeding less than three months later. The best macro algae that I've found is a form of chaetomorpha. It's not very pretty, but it grows quickly and is easily thinned when necessary. I have loads of it in three tanks and more than willing to share! Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Tapatalk 2 |

The Christmas lights are packed up, and the paper hearts have been taken down; now we are all waiting for spring. Whether things have been rocky at home, or you and your significant other are doing your best, here at South Denver Psychotherapy, we have a few books to help keep you, and your marriage, warm, cozy, and well-informed until bright, warm days arrive again.
5. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
This book is a heavy weight in the self-help world, and it continues to be a staple for people from all walks of life. It may seem like an unlikely read for improving your relationships, but think about it -those who are successful and happy usually excel at navigating healthy relationships.
While some people say there are places where Covey drags, a read through of the chapter on Understanding (habit 5) is a good way to learn the basics of communicating with those you love. It could even inspire you to read the rest of the book.
4. How Can I Forgive You? by Janis Abrahms Spring
How Can I Forgive You is a follow-up to Spring's cornerstone work, After the Affair. Both are great reads and can be found on the shelves of a wide variety of therapists, psychologists, and counselors. As the title suggests, How Can I Forgive You? focuses on forgiveness in relationships. It deals with how to forgive after a traumatic event, how to earn forgiveness, and the healthy steps you should take if forgiveness is not an option.
3. The Relationship Cure by John Gottman

EMDR therapy is a method to lessen the effects of trauma on a person. Traumas can be defined as big traumas, such as abuse, car accidents, and exposure to violence, anything that feels life threatening at the time. Small traumas are not necessarily life threatening but often life changing such as a break up, a devastating comment from a loved one, a betrayal, loss of job, etc.
When things happen to us, exciting things and traumatic things, we experience it in our whole body. We feel the emotions such as excitement and/or fear spontaneously. Over time, we mull the experiences in our minds and even if the memory is still vivid, we lose the full physical and emotional impact it had on us. Other events might remind us of the memory but we don't feel like we are "there again".
For some reason, traumatic events can "get stuff" in the part of the brain that feels like we are actually reliving the event. This is what happens in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). For events that affect us this way, we didn't finish the processing of the events so it becomes part of our narrative instead of reliving the experience over and over.
In a counseling office, in a place where trust and safety is established, EMDR therapy can be used to help the memory along, help make sense of it or accept it. It can be used to speed recovery.

Anxiety is a problem when there are persistent feelings of fear or apprehension. It is troublesome because it often interferes with daily functioning, personal growth, and creates uncomfortable physical feelings. It can become overwhelming making the ability to stay rational and objective nearly impossible. Anxiety is based in fear.
Fear is a valuable emotion. It is our first warning of a problem. By paying attention to our feelings of fear or anxiety, we can determine if we are entering into an unsafe situation, relationship, or path. It is warnings that can help us decide to take action or avoid something potentially harmful. This is normal.
Anxiety is a problem when it interferes with our daily living. When anxiety is high, it can keep us from leaving the house, doing things you intellectually know shouldn't be a problem, being obsessed with recurrent thoughts of disaster and/or forgetting something, and fear of humiliation, being trapped or specific things like spiders. Anxiety can be generalized to all areas where a person can never feel content.
Remember, all people feel anxious at times and this is normal. If you the following symptoms regularly, some help is in order.
The symptoms you experience can be constant or spike to a full blown anxiety attack or panic attack.
An anxiety attack is a sudden spike in the above symptoms that can feel like a heart attack or that that a person is dying. Having panic attacks can become a vicious cycle. The unpredictability of them can increase the fear of humiliation, fear of being somewhere unsafe as well as fear of dying. The fear of an anxiety attack adds to the list of fears.
There are several things that can be done. One is to eliminate the possibility of a physical issue. Have you changed your medicines lately, could you have hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, are you going through menopause? Are you prone to high anxiety or worry?
Two is to look at how your life has changed recently. Are you in a new job, relationship or situation that would cause stress? Could this be normal stress that time will cure?
Three, seek counseling. Counseling can help you discover what the underlying fears and concerns are, help you find solutions to the causes of your anxiety and change your thought patterns to help you build resiliency. Therapy that helps you identify and change your negative beliefs can give relief. Understanding your unique experiences and triggers can give you prevention tools for the future.
Fourth, medications. Often, medication is conjunction with therapy can offer relief. Since anxiety and depression can go hand in hand, the medications can be the same. Depending on the drug, they can have immediate effects or take a few weeks to help. Sometimes the drugs are needed to help relieve some of the symptoms so you can be more proactive to facilitate change. Remember, all drugs have side effects and risks so be well informed before taking them.
For help with your anxiety or depression, call South Denver Psychotherapy at 303-730-1144.

"We don't communicate well!"
"We never talk."
These are statements made in couples counseling that are fairly common. So the first question that has to be answered is: What is communication?
Many people don't think about the fact that EVERYTHING one does communicates something. We think of communication as talking but the look on ones face, ignoring someone, body language, and the tone of voice can speak louder than words.
If someone asks me a question and I take longer than usual to respond, it can be interpreted by the other person as me not hearing what was said, me ignoring what was said and farther, being hostile to what was said. I may be thinking about how to respond, be confused about what was said and trying to sort it out, I may by nature be more deliberate in my responses or indeed be ignoring the request.
It is helpful to go back to the last time you had a conflict that felt like miscommunications. Were you angry, disgusted or had you lost patience with that person? If so, in subtle (and maybe not so subtle) ways, you may have let them know of your feelings without telling them so you were both dealing with hidden messages. Think in your mind an alternative way that you could have communicated. Something like "I am really losing patience and I feel like you made a commitment to complete this and I don't know what to do about it" instead of "When are you going to do this?" in an angry tone. This invites problem solving, you own your feelings, your not accusing the other of perceived motivations or emotions and there are no hidden messages.
If you work on this, over time your skills will get better. Have patience. It takes a while to get good at fully communicating in a way that encourages solutions. Have patience on your partner and give each other HUGE credit for trying and getting better.

I'm not having luck starting lavender from seed. Would starting with plants be better? —Shirley Lyon, Mariposa, CA
Lavender seeds don't have a long shelf life, so be sure you're starting with fresh ones. Plant them directly in the garden in late fall or spring in mild climates such as California, or in spring in cold-winter climates. Plant them in well-drained soil. Keeping them too wet—especially over winter—is the kiss of death.
If you germinate the seeds indoors, first give them a cool treatment by keeping them in moist growing medium in your refrigerator for four to six weeks. When you plant them, make sure the potting mix stays at least 70ºF. They should sprout in two to three weeks.
Starting with plants would be an easier way to grow lavender. When you grow lavender from seed, you have a more limited selection, a low germination rate, and a slow growth rate once seeds sprout. Check with local garden centers or garden clubs to find out which lavender grows best in your area. 'Munstead' lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead', Zones 5 to 8) is an early-blooming variety that tolerates heat particularly well, and is a good choice where summers are hot.

The Acton Institute's unique position in the free-market movement is that its advocacy and education on economic issues is integrated with Judeo-Christian teachings about the dignity and inestimable worth of the human person. The Acton Institute has always understood the human person as a co-creator, producer, and innovator, not as a greedy materialist or consumer.
The first words that God spoke to the created family are words that declare that humanity is created for a moral purpose, with human dominion over the earth, and to embrace our vocational calling. That calling is a living out of the dignity we have inherited by virtue of our very nature and creation. Indeed, God Himself was at work at the creation. Christian authors Gerard Berghoef and Lester DeKoster in Work: The Meaning of Your Life-A Christian Perspective, republished by Christian's Library Press, declares that "God so arranges work that it develops the soul."
Acton President and co-founder Rev. Robert A. Sirico reminded those gathered at Acton's 20th Anniversary Dinner that we must get Christian anthropology correct if we our going to get anything correct at all. That begins with the human person as the image and likeness of the Creator. This is essential for encouraging a moral culture, which is necessary for a truly free society to flourish.
That will remain the mission of and goal of the Acton Institute: always advancing a free and virtuous society. Those who have generously supported our work for two decades recognize how essential this work has been. Unlike other organizations, we are not involved in partisan politics nor lobbying efforts on policy issues. Acton's real effectiveness lies in the power of its ideas. The Institute is a truth-seeking organization that is concerned about limits being placed on humans to flourish towards the greatest truth, which is man's relationship and destiny with his Creator.

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Ursula Kroeber Le Guin was born in Berkeley, California, on October 21, 1929. Her mother, Theodora Kroeber, had a graduate degree in psychology, and Le Guin's father, Alfred Kroeber, was a well-known anthropologist. Le Guin and her three older brothers, Karl, Theodore, and Clifford, grew up in a household that placed strong emphasis on reading.
Le Guin's father taught at the University of California at Berkeley, where the family spent the academic year. With the arrival of summer, they would move to Kishamish, their forty-acre estate in the Napa Valley. Le Guin spent much time exploring this area with her brothers, which is perhaps why so many of her novels include journeys by foot. Summer guests at Kishamish included intellectual celebrities such as Robert Oppenheimer as well as anthropology scholars. Le Guin's exposure to anthropology dates from before she could read, as her father often told his children stories about the local Native Americans.
Le Guin's reading was not confined to anthropology, however, for she read all genres available to her, ranging from the romantic works of Lord Dunsany to the Taoist writings of the legendary seventh century Chinese figure Laozi, whom she read while still in her teens. In 1951, she completed a B.A., Phi Beta Kappa, in French and Italian, with an emphasis on Renaissance literature, at Harvard University's Radcliffe College. She completed her M.A. at Columbia University in 1952, and then began a doctoral program at Columbia. In Paris, in December, 1953, she ended doctoral study and married Charles Le Guin, a history professor whom she had met on shipboard, while traveling to France for a year of Fulbright-supported study.
The end of Le Guin's doctoral aspirations proved to be the beginning of her career as a writer. Her mother had begun a writing career in middle-age; her Ishi in Two Worlds (1961) appeared a year after the death of Le Guin's father. Le Guin began writing much younger, producing her first fantasy story at age nine. Her first science-fiction story was rejected by a magazine...

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Ursula K. Le Guin's best writings, notably The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, and the Earthsea books, have become widely accepted modern classics, and Le Guin's work is known by readers who, otherwise, read little fantasy or science fiction. Widely studied in high schools as well colleges and universities, her books are regularly the subject of doctoral dissertations. The Lathe of Heaven (1971) has been adapted to film twice, in 1979 and 2001. The first three books of the Earthsea series were adapted to film in 2005. Literary critic Harold Bloom says that her work is among the best by modern writers: "Le Guin is the overwhelming contemporary instance of a superbly imaginative creator and major stylist who chose . . . 'fantasy and science fiction.'"
Biography (Critical Survey of Short Fiction, Second Revised Edition)
Ursula Kroeber was born on October 21, 1929, in Berkeley, California, the daughter of anthropologist Alfred L. Kroeber and author Theodora Kroeber. She received her B.A. from Radcliffe College in 1951 and her M.A. from Columbia University in 1952. While on a Fulbright Fellowship in Paris in 1953, she married Charles A. Le Guin. They had three children: daughters Elisabeth and Caroline and a son, Theodore. She taught French at Mercer University and the University of Idaho before settling in Portland, Oregon, in 1959. In 1962, she began publishing fantasy and science fiction. In addition to writing, she was active in the Democratic Party, in writing workshops, and in Tai Chi Chuan, a Chinese form of exercise.
Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Ursula K. Le Guin was born Ursula Kroeber, into a close, intellectual family in Berkeley, California, on October 21, 1929. Her father, Alfred Kroeber, was an anthropologist distinguished for his studies of native California tribes and was curator of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology of the University of California. Her mother, Theodora Krackaw Kroeber, was a respected writer with an advanced degree in psychology and a special affinity for Native American subjects and sensibilities. It was Le Guin's father who befriended Ishi, the last survivor of the native Californian Yahi people, and it was her mother who wrote Ishi in Two Worlds (1961), an anthropological study of Ishi's life and times, as well as the simpler popularnarrative Ishi, Last of His Tribe (1964). The interest that Le Guin's fiction shows in communication across great barriers of culture, language, gender, and ideology is a natural offshoot of her parents' lifelong passion for understanding worldviews other than the dominant Euro-American competitive materialism. Her use of songs, stories, folktales, maps, and depictions of material culture to flesh out fictional worlds is also congruent with her parents' professional focus.
The Kroeber family seems to have enjoyed an enviable degree of closeness, reasonable financial security, and an abundance of intellectual stimulation. During the academic year, they lived in a large, airy house in Berkeley. Their summers were spent in their Napa Valley home, Kishamish. To these forty acres flocked writers, scholars, graduate students, relatives, and American Indians.
Living among so many people rich in knowledge and curiosity, and having access to an almost unlimited supply of books, Le Guin began writing and reading quite young. She did not discover science fiction, however, until she was twelve. When she found, while reading Lord Dunsany one day, that people were still creating myths, Le Guin felt liberated, for this discovery validated her own creative efforts.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (leh GWIHN) has been a major figure in the elevation of science fiction and fantasy from minor literature to the mainstream of American letters. She is the daughter of the respected anthropologist Alfred Louis Kroeber and Theodora Kroeber, author of Ishi in Two Worlds: A Biography of the Last Wild Indian in North America (1961). Her childhood was marked by the intellectual and imaginative stimulation of her home life, alternating between the university atmosphere of Berkeley, California, and summers in the Napa Valley, where she came to know and love the country landscape.
Though she began writing as a child, she did not publish until after she ended her formal education, married, and became a parent. Le Guin completed her B.A. at Radcliffe College in 1951, earned her M.A. at Columbia University in 1952, and then began work toward a Ph.D. in French. While on a Fulbright Fellowship in France, she met and married Charles A. Le Guin. After the couple settled in Portland, Oregon, she began publishing fiction, raising her three children by day and writing at night. Her first story, "An die Musik," appeared in 1961.
In 1966 Le Guin published her first science-fiction novel, Rocannon's World. This was followed by the increasingly powerful novels in the Hainish series that were to contribute to her considerable reputation. While Planet of Exile and City of Illusions were well received, The Left Hand of Darkness established Le Guin's reputation in science fiction when it won the prestigious Nebula and Hugo awards. The last major novel in this series, The Dispossessed, won the Nebula, Hugo, and Jupiter awards for 1974.
At the same time that she was gaining a reputation among science-fiction enthusiasts, Le...

A highly respected award-winning author of fantasy and science fiction, Le Guin is best known for her stories in which alternative societies serve as the backdrop for discussion about philosophic and social issues such as morality, individual identity, political ideology, and racial interaction. Perhaps unexpectedly, Le Guin's works seem to be shaped more by the social sciences than the physical sciences, as evidenced in her writing by the prominent inclusion of historical context, varied political and economic systems, diverse cultures, and psychological characteristics. -- Ursula K.

Biography (Novels for Students)
Born in 1929 Ursula K. Le Guin has always enjoyed reading, especially poetry and fiction dealing with other times and places. Her parents were both professionals, her father an anthropology professor and her mother a children's literature author, and they both encouraged her literary aspirations. She says that she was lucky to be born in 1929 instead of 1939 because of J. R. R. Tolkien's influence. In her introduction to her critical exploration of science fiction. The Language of the Night: Essays on Fantasy and Science Fiction, Le Guin muses, "what would have happened if I had...first read Tolkien in my teens, instead of my twenties. That achievement might have overwhelmed me." Tolkien's influence is most evident in Always Coming Home in its portrayal of a future possibility as an already established fact and presenting all aspects of this future culture in a scientific, textbook format. She began submitting stories for publication at age eleven and although she was not published that early, the real rejection slip from a real magazine only drove her desire for publication and fame.
Le Guin, in numerous interviews, never claims to be a science fiction/fantasy writer, but simply a novelist whose publishers market her work as science fiction/fantasy. When asked what kind of prize she would like to win, either a National Book Award or a Hugo, Le Guin said Nobel. She does not see a marked difference between writing fiction and writing science fiction. Both her academic training, including graduate work in French and Italian Medieval literature, and her desire to be a "name," have helped Le Guin carve out a unique position for herself in the second half of the twentieth century. She is one of the first women to reach national and academic acclaim in the genre of science fiction/fantasy. Beginning with her early "fairy tales in space suits" in the 1950s, Le Guin has produced over eighty novels and collections of short stories, storming the walls of both traditional science fiction readership and "serious" literary scholarship in an attempt to bring her version of feminist Utopian ideology to a wider audience. Her success has inspired and encouraged the careers of other women science fiction writers like Amber Zimmer Bradley, Anne Macaffery, and Sheri Tepper.
Biography (Novels for Students)
Ursula K. Le Guin was born on October 29, 1929, in Berkeley, California, where she grew up. Her father was Alfred Kroeber, an internationally-known anthropologist whose influence may have nurtured her understanding of cultural artifacts and traditional myths and legends. Her mother, Theodora Kracaw Kroeber Quinn, was a writer of several biographies and children's books. Le Guin attended Radcliffe College, where she received her B.A., and Columbia University, where she received a master's degree in romance literatures of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. She married Charles A. Le Guin, a French historian, in 1953. Her first short stories appeared in science fiction magazines as early as 1962, and she published three novels, including the first one in her acclaimed Earthsea trilogy, in the three years between 1966 and 1968. It was The Left Hand of Darkness, though, that made her famous, winning the major science fiction awards: in 1969 the book won the Nebula Award, and in 1970 it earned her a Hugo Award. She has defined herself as a feminist, but not a radical feminist: she has spoken out for women's rights in life and, as in The Left Hand of Darkness, she has studied the roles of the genders in her science fiction, but most of her protagonists have been males, especially in her early books. One of the earliest lessons she learned in regard to self-identity and gender came in the same year that this book was published, when Playboy magazine published her story "Nine Lives." They asked her to publish it under the name "U. K. Le Guin": she did it, but she went on to resent having had to hide who she was. In her career Le Guin has published over eighty short stories, two collections of essays, ten books for children, seven volumes of poetry, and sixteen novels. She has written a screenplay for The Left Hand of Darkness that has not yet been produced.

Letting the dogs out

I am not a dog owner at present, but have lived with dogs much of my life.
I think it is about time dog owners were given better facilities to allow their dogs to run offleash. A well exercised dog is much better behaved than a dog who only gets exercise on leash or on hard surfaces. Every dog should have the opportunity to catch a stick on grass - not dirt.
I wish the best to this dog owner group and hope to see some better use made of our parks for dogs.
on Jun 21, 2013 at 1:07 pm
Greer Park has a pathetically tiny dog run, it's so small a large dog can hardly turn around in it!!!
I always thought it was an opportunity for dog owners to have asked for the newly landscaped area of Greer Park adjacent to the frontage road to H.101. Unfortunately, not nearly enough dog owners stepped forward to lobby for it, so that was a big opportunity missed.
Perhaps that section of Greer Park could be opened up to dog owners from 8:00 am - 10:00 am, I never see anyone walking or using that newly landscaped area of Greer Park, which I walk by regularly.

When the local dog owners quit leaving their dog's crap on my yard and sidewalk, I'll be more inclined toward a proposal like this.
on Jun 21, 2013 at 11:51 pm
According to my vet, dog parks expose dogs unnecessarily to parasites. They also endanger unaggressive dogs by allowing socialization with bigger, stronger, more aggressive dogs whose owners are not in good control of them. Many small or shy dogs have been injured or killed by large aggressive dogs who mauled them in a dog park, while the owners stood by helplessly.
If your dog needs exercise, walk or run them on leash, throw the ball for them in your back yard, but do not take them to a dog park!
on Jun 22, 2013 at 12:25 pm
An off leash dog area in Open Space is a bad idea. Arastradero Preserve has a history of coyote vs domestic k9s for several years now. There are other hazards such as rattlesnakes, grey foxes, skunks and there is the ticks. The baylands would be even worse with federal protection of nesting birds for most of the year. Bad idea.

Why should we spend our money on dog owners? So many of them completely disrespect our property, trespassing onto our private property to leave dog feces and urine stains, filling our PAUSD playgrounds with dog feces. Feces is not safe for humans. If it were so safe, why don't dog owners pick up the feces with their bare hands? Our children step in the feces and fall on the feces but these dog owners think it's okay? Many dog owners are so lazy that they will not use dog parks anyway because the nearest PAUSD site is closer to their home.
Why was there an ordinance enacted about owners picking up their dog's feces? Because so many weren't doing it otherwise.
And many owners blatantly allow their dogs to run off leash in our parks and school grounds, which is against ordinance also.

Gabrielle Giffords to meet with Families of Sandy Hook Shooting
Posted: 8:56 PM Jan 3, 2013
Reporter: AP
NEWTOWN, Conn. - - A spokesman says Connecticut's lieutenant governor has been invited to attend a meeting between former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and families of the victims of the deadly Newtown elementary school shooting.
Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman's spokesman Steve Jensen said Thursday night a visit by Giffords and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, is "planned but not confirmed" for Friday afternoon.
He says the plans include Giffords meeting at a private home with families of the 20 children and six school officials killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School last month. He says Giffords may also make a second appearance.
Phone calls and emails to Giffords' representatives haven't been returned.
Giffords was wounded by a gunman in a mass shooting two years ago in Tucson, Ariz. Six people died in that assault.

"Watched Hugo in 1080P. The picture equivalent = Bluray."
5.0 starson by yourerightPros: This review is coming from Canada. I didn't notice any issues wrt video/audio quality. With this device, I won't be renting any DVD's.
Cons: None that I can see.
Summary: What can I say, the little device is an excellent replacement for DVDs (and now that brick/mortar Blockbuster is gone, this came at a perfect time)

Bipolar Disorder genetic consortium discover genes which increase the risk of developing Bipolar Affective Disorder
Bipolar Disorder genetic consortium discover genes which increase the risk of developing Bipolar Affective Disorder
In a major paper titled Collaborative genome-wide association analysis of 10,596 individuals supports a role for Ankyrin-G (ANK3) and the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (CACNA1C) in bipolar disorder, published on the 17th August 2008 in the online edition of the journal
Nature Genetics,
a consortium led by Professor Pamela Sklar of Harvard Medical School and Professor Nick Craddock of the School of Medicine, Cardiff University and combining samples from the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium, Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program for Bipolar Disorder, University College London, University of Edinburgh and University of Dublin samples, has identified susceptibility genes for bipolar affective disorder. The study included contributions from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, from Professors Peter McGuffin, Anne Farmer, David Collier and Dr Gerome Breen.
It has been known for many years that bipolar affective disorder has inherited causes, and indeed more than 80% of the risk of the disorder is thought to involve genetic factors, but despite decades of research it has proven very difficult to identify the exact genes involved. The reason for this appears to be that there are many genes which increase risk of this disorder, and the effect of each one is very small, making them very difficult to detect above the 'noise' of general human gene variation.
In order to detect these genes the consortium put together a huge group of volunteer subjects with bipolar disorder and people without the illness, resulting in 4,387 bipolar disorder cases and 6,209 controls. Using the latest genetic technology the group identified a strong association with the Ankyrin-G gene and the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel gene, CACNA1C and the findings confirm that bipolar affective disorder is caused by changes in the way electrical signals are transmitted in nerve cells.
The local investigators, David Collier, of the Medical Research Council-funded Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre, and the Dean, Professor Peter McGuffin, said "These findings will improve our understanding of the underlying causes of this devastating mental illness, which will pave the way for improved and safer treatment for sufferers. The discovery of the role of ion channels in the disorder has important implications for research and treatment of this illness, not least because ion channels can be specifically targeted by drugs. Identifying the genes involved will improve treatment for the patient, and in the case of bipolar disorder this may mean the identification of better and safer drugs which can modulate the activity of ion channels. Since these genes have a very small effect on risk, at this stage it is less likely to allow us to better diagnose mental illness through genetic tests, however, it is always of major benefit to research and clinical treatment if the basic aetiology of a disorder is better understood."
Participation in this landmark research was made possible by the dedication and effort over many years of researchers in the UK, Ireland, Australia, the United States as well as other countries, and included the the Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London. Essential funding to enable this work was provided by the Wellcome Trust, the US National Institute of Mental Health, NARSAD, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, Sylvan C. Herman Foundation, Stanley Medical Research Institute, Dauten Family, Merck Genome Research Institute (E.M.S.); GSK and Medical Research Council (MRC), Australia (M.A.R.F.) and the Broad Institute Center for Genotyping and Analysis.

Role of the Environment in Reproductive Diseases
Speakers Bureau
Darlene Dixon, D.V.M., Ph.D., D.A.C.V.P.
Audience: K-12, undergraduates, graduate students, and community organizations
Dr. Dixon is Head of the Molecular Pathogenesis Group in the National Toxicology Program. Dr. Dixonís research interests are aimed at understanding the basic mechanisms of tumor and disease development in response to environmental exposures, and the comparative aspects of pathology in the female reproductive tract. Her research is focused on delineating molecular mechanisms of tumor cell proliferation/inhibition, and understanding the role of growth factor/hormone receptor signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of female reproductive tract diseases/lesions that can translate to development of clinical prevention and intervention strategies. She also studies the molecular mechanisms of toxicity and carcinogenicity of chemicals evaluated by the NTP testing program.
Dr. Dixon earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1982 at Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine and her Ph.D. in 1985 at Michigan State University. She served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Rockefeller University before joining NIEHS in 1987.
