Creating a Healthy Bedroom Environment
For years, we've been raised on the saying "Your home is your castle." The concept of "home" is immediately connected with a safe haven, a shield, a shelter to protect us and our kids from external threats and deadly hazards.
In fact, the modern home might be an extremely dangerous arena, especially for our youth. Their private rooms could be a source of toxic pollutants and other hazards that threaten their well-being and health.
What You Can't See
Dr. Jerome A. Paulson, an associate professor of pediatrics at the George Washington University, says that most American parents are not aware of indoor hazards in their children's rooms. "Even among parents of asthmatic or allergic children, there is very little awareness to indoors environment," he says. "Just a minority of these parents undertake active precautions like removing stuffed toys, carpets and other dust catchers."
Dr. Paulson, who is also co-director of the Mid-Atlantic Center for Children's Health and the Environment, recalls the case of Sarah, a 9-year-old from Alexandria, Va., who loved stuffed animals. She had them on her bed and on shelves in her room. She also had a history of asthma and experienced three attacks in the last year, including one where she had to go the emergency room. She had some coughing every night that disturbed her sleep. Sarah went to an allergist, and testing showed that she was allergic to dust mites. Dust mites live in bedding, carpet, upholstered furniture and stuffed animals.
"No matter how well someone cleans there will be dust mites present in the home, unless the humidity is less than 50 percent," Dr. Paulson says. "Dust mites are a source of allergens that can cause allergic or asthmatic symptoms in sensitive kids."
Dr. Paulson is also concerned about what may seem trivial: the room's paint. "In the U.S., homes built before 1978 may have lead paint on indoor surfaces, and homes built before about 1950 certainly have lead paint on interior surfaces," he says. "Microscopic degradation and deterioration of that paint creates lead dust that can cause severe neurological problems and learning difficulties in children, but how many parents are aware [of] this hazard? Very little."
What You Can See
Awareness is undoubtedly the most important part of creating a clean, healthy living space for your child. Kids tend to spend over 70 percent of their time indoors, especially in winter, and it is pretty tough to admit that our beloved homes might undermine or challenge their optimal health. It takes serious action to fix the problems. Fortunately, you can find some creative solutions that make this process easier.
Dangerous Toys
What could be more innocent than a child's toy? Unfortunately, it appears that toxic fumes and tastes pervade this industry. Diisonyl phthalate (DINP) is a material used in the production of children's toys. It gives them softness and pliability. However, there is some convincing data that shows this substance to be highly toxic to the human endocrine system. Apparently, DINP can dangerously leach out of plastic toys, particularly in the case of mouthing toys. Several European countries have already banned DINP in toys designed for children less than 3 years old. Prudent parents can look for phthalate-free items when purchasing new toys.
Toxic Mattresses
One famous scientific research project from New Zealand found a positive correlation between crib deaths (SIDS) and certain PVC baby mattresses. Fire retardants such as phosphorus, arsenic and antimony – added in the production of baby mattresses – interact with fungi that commonly grows in newborn baby bedding. This interaction creates some highly lethal gases. High room temperatures may activate fungi in the mattress and accelerate this lethal process.
Therefore, avoid overloading your baby with blankets or excessive clothing. Mattresses wrapped in a special polyethylene cover can block body fluids (saliva and urine) from reaching the mattress and establishing fungi.
Computers, Printers and Electro Magnetic Fields
For several years, there has been controversy concerning electro magnetic fields (EMF) and their effects on health. Some clinical studies connect this type of radiation with a suppressed immune system, hormonal imbalances and disruptions of other biological systems. There is also evidence that associates EMF with leukemia in small children.
EMF is always immediately associated with CRT computer monitors. The new models are designed to emit low radiation, and fortunately, radiation only comes out of the back and sides of the monitor. Thus, it is recommended to place the monitor with its back to the wall. If you want to take further precautions, put a little more distance between the chair and the source, since the amount of radiation falls off exponentially with increased distance.
A brand new computer monitor may make your child sick by emitting a flame retardant chemical called triphenyl phosphate (TP). This chemical can trigger allergy symptoms when inhaled. The TP used on computer monitors gets into the air as the computer terminal heats up with use. Levels begin to drop after a week or two of continuous use. The best way to minimize the hazards of TP is to turn on a new computer monitor and leave it on for several days in a well ventilated room before letting your children use it.
Toners for laser printers contain chemicals such as carbon black and resins that have the potential to harm at high concentration. Prolonged exposure to toner powder causes irritation of the eyes and the upper respiratory system. When handling toner cartridges, always advise your child to use disposable gloves to avoid skin contact with chemicals. Good ventilation is also important. The best protection is to advise your child to leave the toner to Mom or Dad.
Toxic Furniture
Surprisingly, old is better than new when it comes to furniture. New furniture could emit formaldehyde (in gaseous form). In small amounts, this toxic chemical can irritate your child's eyes, skin and throat, and it can cause nausea and lethargy.
In high concentrations and through long-term exposure, formaldehyde is a deadly carcinogenic substance. Formaldehyde and other toxic glues are ubiquitous in the production of hardwood, plywood, furniture and other pressed-wood products.
Leakage of formaldehyde from new furniture is preventable by varnishing, painting and sealing the furniture with a waterproof finish such as polyurethane. Formaldehyde can be smelled in high concentrations. If you suspect your child's room is polluted by these fumes, improve ventilation and place lots of potted spider plants around the room. A NASA report once showed that spider plants are capable of absorbing gaseous formaldehyde.
Carpet Cautions
Carpets are a leading source of dust mites. Every time someone walks over the carpet in your child's room, dust mites are spread into the air, polluting it with allergens. However, this is only a small fraction of the problem.
New carpet fumes add to the toxic load. If possible, leave new carpeting to set out in strong sunlight for a few days. Also, have carpets installed in the summer, leaving all windows open for ventilation. These procedures will significantly reduce their toxicity.
Tile and hardwood floors are the best choices for healthy kids' rooms, especially if your child suffers from respiratory problems. Wall-to-wall carpets cannot be cleaned adequately, although steaming carpets thoroughly may be somewhat helpful.
Now that you know the trouble spots, stroll through your child's room to pinpoint the risk factors in your home. For each trouble spot, this article has provided some practical, "green" advice, useful tips and alternative techniques to foster children's health. After all, a healthy, robust body is your child's real castle.

METAIRIE, La. -- Less than a week after getting a majority of the snaps with the second-team offense, New Orleans Saints second-year quarterback Ryan Griffin appears to be in the hunt to compete for the backup job behind Drew Brees.
While speculation was that Saints coach Sean Payton merely wanted to see Griffin get a few reps with the second-team offense rather than having him work strictly with the third unit, it appears that Griffin could get a real shot at the job.
In Tuesday's opening session of a three-day minicamp, Griffin was able to work again with the second-team offense, although he split the reps with incumbent backup Luke McCown.
Griffin could be in the mix to unseat McCown after impressing the coaching staff in training camp last summer as an undrafted free agent. He was cut at the end of preseason and signed to the practice squad, then went on the active roster when the St. Louis Rams tried to sign him away.
Griffin had a bit of an edge last season because the offense he ran at Tulane in 2012 for Green Wave coach Curtis Johnson is similar to the one run by the Saints. Johnson was the Saints' wide receivers coach from 2006-11, and he uses some of the properties of Payton's offense.
On Tuesday, Griffin confidently stood out with an impressive showing in a red-zone drill. He completed four consecutive touchdown passes against a defense that, while it was working in just shorts and helmets, ranked fourth in the NFL against the pass a year ago.
"It's definitely a different feel," Griffin said. "Being through it for a year, especially this time last year not really knowing what to expect. I'm definitely a little bit more comfortable."
While Payton acknowledged that the battle is on, he said it is still too early to tell if Griffin closed the gap on McCown since last season.
"There aren't any early indications," Payton said. "We'll get into training camp. We'll have competition there for that number two position between Luke and Ryan. We'll have an opportunity to see them receive reps not only with the second group, but we'll see them receiving reps with the first group."

Technology & Engineering
Cascade Tapered Array Crossover
Everyone promises that "every seat in the house" gets the best sound. But you have to sit right here in the "sweet spot" to hear it.
Older rear projection televisions had an off-angle viewing issue. If you sat a little to the left or right of the exact center of the projected image on the screen, you couldn't see it, or you saw ghosting or a dimmer picture. Newer, brighter LCD and plasma televisions have solved this problem. You can usually see your new flat panel television no matter where you sit, even off-angle.
Multi-driver speakers used to have this problem, too. And the explosive growth of multichannel home theater audio, utilizing more speakers in a room than ever before, brought the issue to the forefront. It's called comb filtering.
Comb filtering happens when multiple speaker drivers, placed close to one another, create destructive interference in the upper midrange. These frequency response errors can degrade imaging, collapse the soundstage and narrow the dispersion of the speakers in the system. Audio sounds thin and unrealistic. Especially if you're sitting off-angle, where you won't hear important details due to this interference.
Audio Interference Cascades Away!
Polk engineers designed a special cascade tapered array crossover to manipulate the frequency response of individual drivers in multi-driver arrays. In this setup, one driver is crossed over at a much lower frequency, making that driver essentially a bass-only driver in the array. This frees up other drivers to concentrate on more detailed frequencies, such as the upper mid-range. Thus technically separated, performance-robbing interference is tuned right out of the system.
With no comb filtering interference blocking the details, Polk loudspeakers reveal a seamless, lifelike soundstage no matter where you're sitting in your listening room or your home theater. There's no more sweet spot, because your whole room sounds pretty sweet! You can hear the interference-free imaging impact of the Cascade Tapered Array Crossover in the multi-driver LSi Series, RTi towers, Monitor towers, TSi towers and high-end CSi models.

To the editor:
Parker River Dental's "Giving Back to Our Community" program has successfully reached out to almost three dozen elderly community members since 2011. The program is designed to meet the needs of the local elderly population when they do not have the financial means to afford routine dental care. Our program helps these Massachusetts residents where other insurance plans do not. The program is designed to offer free dental care, twice per year, to elder community members. They receive free dental exams, cleanings, digital X-rays and more.
The assistance of the Town of Newbury's Council of Aging and Martie S. Joe, director, is instrumental to the success of this program. Martie educates the elders about our program — assuring them that this is not a scam. This wonderful marriage of communication makes the relationship with COA vital to our program's survival.
We have had generous donations of Philips Sonicare power-brushes and generosity of free flowers from Anastasia Flowers on Main Street (Vivian Anastasia) has made the gift of free dental care even more wonderful at each event. In addition, patients and their guests are greeted with free coffee, tea and treats. An assortment of organic low-calorie pastries donated compliments of Pure Pastry (Kim Gregory). Each patient leaves with a generous assortment of free dental products.
All expenses for products and services are at the generosity of Dr. Robin Davies. The staff volunteers their time twice a year to support this effort in keeping our community healthy. We are in the process of applying for grants to help support our mission.
"Giving Back to Our Community" program is expanding into Newburyport and Georgetown. On Saturday, Oct. 19, Newburyport Family Dental and Georgetown Family Dentistry will also open their doors from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. to promote and provide oral healthcare for their elder community members. Assisted by their local Council on Aging directors, Newburyport and Georgetown elders will receive the gift of a comprehensive dental exam, dental cleaning and digital X-rays. All doctors and staff will be volunteering their time and services to their community.

Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts have rather odd jobs: they give dying people another chance to live. Literally. Using a technology that allows artificial memories to be implanted, the doctors can weave and transform the mind of a patient to help them live the life they wanted to live...
To The Moon follows Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts' attempt to fulfill the wishes of a dying elderly man, Johnny. In their attempt to do so, they travel deep through the man's memories, unfolding his curious life story before their eyes. With each step back in time, a new fragment of Johnny's past is revealed. As the two doctors piece together the fragmented events that spanned a lifetime, they seek to find out just why the frail old man chose his dying wish.
Johnny's last wish is, of course, to go to the moon.

Well, has it? To the Moon might just have one of the most thoughtful and inspiring stories ever conceived in a video game. Its nostalgic 16-bit overworld graphics are intertwined with touching, hand-drawn scenes and an overwhelming soundtrack which is guaranteed to tug at those heart strings. As the player, you will assume the role of one of two scientists who are traveling backwardsread more through the scattered memories of a dying man's life. His life has never been particularly satisfying, so it's up to Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts to fool his mind into believing he has accomplished his ultimate life goals.
Let it be known that this is not a "gamer's game". The player will not be challenged, and, excepting a short late game sequence, there is really no gameplay to speak of. However, it is really left up to the player to decide whether or not this is a deal breaker. Either way, To the Moon is an experience that I highly recommend to any lover of games. Just don't be afraid to shed some tears of manliness. I did, and you will too.

Posted on 2012-07-10 10:08:28 byWolfox:
Here's a mini-review I wrote a while ago:
To the Moon is a different game indeed. First, there's not much "game" to it, besides exploration (and there's not much length to it either, as it's about 4.5 hours of gameplay - though I feel it was just the perfect length for the kind of game it is). There are a few puzzles in the first half of the game, but they add very little (andread more as such, they're basically absent in the second half of the game). Some other "game" sequences feel so out of place that it almost hurts, and the game could arguably be better without them. Or perhaps not, but as I said, there's not much "gameplay" here, if that's what you're looking for.
Yet, To the Moon wouldn't work as well if it was not a game, because the interactivity and exploration aspects of its gameplay are a very important aspect of its storytelling. As the doctors explore Johnny's memories, you're there too, in a way you wouldn't be if you weren't controlling their actions. The game makes you feel like an invader sometimes, as you uncover intimate feelings and secrets that give amazingly human dimensions to the main characters in the game. It works well with the visual style and the music (FANTASTIC music, I should add) to create a really memorable experience.
And the story is easily one of the best, most humane stories I've ever seen told in any videogames. It is dramatic, but nothing about it seems forced. It is also funny at times (specially where Dr. Watts is concerned). It is also exquisitely well-written, easily topping the likes of Bioware in the quality of its writing. And it's a unique experience, that kind of story that makes you look at your own life and think about what's really important, and what could have happened had things been different. It is effective, it is heart-wrenching, it is brilliant.
In summary, this is not a "game" game. It's all about the story, and how you interact with it. But it's also one of the best stories ever told in videogame form, and the most humane game I've ever played. I highly, highly recommend it. You may not find a "game" here, but you may well find what I've found - a true gem of writing and interactive storytelling, one that is bound to make you relate to the characters like no other game ever had, and possibly make you shed quite a few tears of your own. It is one of my favorite games of all time, and one that I plan to play every year, on my birthday, as a way of revisiting my own life, and remembering what are the really important things after all. And if that's not art, then what is?

I played the game a few months ago and this was to me the best indie game of 2011. It's a hauntingly beautiful, sad tale and it was the first game that really got to me on an emotional level.
I'm not embarassed to say that this actually brought tears to my eyes.
Also: The soundtrack is brilliant!

So the wave moves like. a wave, it moves up and down, up and down. But how do photons move? Do they follow the same path or do they just go straight forward without oscillating?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Physics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for active researchers, academics and students of physics. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The question is a bit tricky. Actually, a photon is the electromagnetic wave. Photons are quanta of the field. You can imagine a photon as the fact that there is an oscillation in the field.
However, if you are in an approximation that allows you to treat photons as particles, then I would say that the don't oscillate, they just move on at light speed.
I know, the answer is not complete, I should explain better how photons can be defined, but perhaps someone can do it better than me.

Dolphins out to prove last season was no fluke
The reigning Atlantic Sun champion Jacksonville University softball team officially started its 2012 campaign this week when practice kicked off Monday. Coming off the most successful season in program history in which the Dolphins went 44-16 en route to the regular season and conference tournament titles and the first ever postseason berth, the Dolphins are eager to get back to work and take last year's successes to an all new level.
There might not be anyone more excited to get back out on the diamond than reigning Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Year, Sarah Sigrest.
"I think everyone is really excited, I know I'm excited. We're ready to get back to where we were last year and see the progress of everything. After a year like last year I want to do better than I did, I'm just ready to go."
Running those practices is a familiar face as Ali Higgs is in her first season as head coach after serving as an assistant for the previous five years. Higgs is excited to get the season started and is pleased the way the team has approached the early practices.
"At this point in practice we just want them to work hard, get quality reps and have intense practice and they know that. I've loved their energy and their intensity. They have an intensity that I have never seen before and I love it. They have really come out with the right attitude, ready to work hard and ready to go."
Last year's Dolphin team entered the season with not a lot of pressure or expectations. This season it is the exact opposite with the team returning most of last year's key contributors.
"There's definitely more pressure because last year we came in and didn't have that pressure, we didn't have to win. We proved last year that we were the best team and this year we want to do the same thing and continue it. Definitely more pressure, but in a good way," said the senior Sigrest.
The head coach agreed that the expectations and pressure to match last year's accomplishments are present, but she believes the team is ready for the challenge. "After having a season like last year, I think there is pressure to finish either the same as last year or better. My expectation, and the team's expectation, is to finish better because we always want to do better than the year before. Forty-four wins is a lot for a Division I softball team."
Higgs has stressed to her team that she wants them to make the most of their practice time and to keep their championship mindset.
"My kids know it's all about quality reps right now, not necessarily being perfect on defense or perfect in the cages hitting, just really coming out with the right attitude and being ready to work hard and get ready to go. We're not asking them to be perfect the first or second week because we don't need to be perfect. Last year we did so well because we peaked at the right time. We were playing our best games in May. We're not working at physical mistakes right now, we're trying to get in quality reps with a lot of energy."
One theme has been constant when talking to anyone involved with JU softball in regards to the start of practice and 2012 season. These girls are "ready to go!"

Gonzaga's Elias Harris was nominated as the West Coast Conference Player of the Month, but the award went to the man who passed Kurt Rambis as Santa Clara's all-time leading scorer.

Do not buy this. No complaints against Flipkart, but Eureka Forbes took forever to come instal it. Within a days time, the water that comes out is terrible, has a storing bad taste and just cannot be consumed. It has been a month since I have been chasing Eureka Forbes to come fix. Every second day, someone new calls me, takes my address and complaint all over again, assures me someone will turn up and no one has to date. Terrible terrible service.
flipkart is good at delivery in product in best possible conditions.I got the product delivered in 2-3 days. But the INSTALLATION and DEMO expert didn't turned up till week.Even I tried customer support for couple of times but no positive response. I suggest please think twice on buying product which need post-buying installation support.

I couldn't order this from Flipkart as my pincode was not serviceable.
This water purifier is a UV-based water purifier, and it has the same parts and 3-stage filtration process, as the other UV-based water purifiers from Eureka Forbes. However, this model is cheaper than other models by at-least 2-3 thousand, since only the front-part is covered and the back is open. However, all the other parts are exactly the same (except for the cartridge size). Hence, I would strongly recommend this water purifier to everyone.
On to the installation, it was effortless and easy. I called up on Eureka... (Expand)

Police in Crystal, Minn., are trying to figure out who put rat poison inside the fenced area of the dog park at Welcome Park, located at 46th and Welcome avenues, over the weekend.
In a Facebook post, police said one dog, named Fiona, chewed on the rat poison, but the 10-year-old Bernese mountain dog's owner noticed the odd brick and pulled it out immediately, rinsing Fiona's mouth with water. Thankfully, the dog was not injured or sickened.
Police searched the park and did not find any more rat poison, but they also haven't found a suspect yet. Investigators say this is the first case of its kind in their community, and they hope residents will help them catch the culprit.
Many local pet owners bring their dogs to the park to meet other animal lovers and find playmates for their pooches, and those who spoke with FOX 9 News are barking mad.
"Crazy! I mean, who would do that?" demanded Jolene Degel. "Someone who hates dogs, or I don't know. It's crazy, so close to home."
Fiona's owners posted signs at the park to warn other dog owners to keep a sharp eye while police turned to Facebook to get the word out.
"This is Felix. He loves to play with other dogs. He smiles from ear to ear when we come over, hoping there are other dogs to play with," Tanya Rodeker said.
Now, Rodeker wants to know who would try to poison her precious pooch.
"It just made me really sad that people resort to such horrible things," she said.
Neighbors in the area say they won't stand for it and will keep a sharp eye out for suspicious activity. Meanwhile, dog owners say they won't be deterred.
If you have any information or witnessed any suspicious activity, call Crystal police at 763-531-1014.

Re: Sloooooow This Morning
According to Dennis the site traffic volume is up (not a bad thing) and that is accounting for the slowdown.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Maybe it's time to kick the server in the boot... reboot I mean. There has been increased volume of people and search bots crawling the site lately... that does drag things down a bit. I'll do a reset of the site tonight and if the slowness keeps up, I'll turn in a trouble ticket to the hosting service.

Electrosonic and Scharff Weisberg Systems Integration Inc. have signed a joint venture agreement creating Electrosonic New York, an audio/video systems integration organization that will operate out of Long Island City, New York.
By combining Scharff Weisberg's existing systems installation business with the Northeast division of Electrosonic, the new company will be able to provide New York-area architects, designers, consultants and builders with unsurpassed AV design and installation support from a local source.
"We've been friendly competitors for years and have occasionally worked together on projects," Josh Weisberg, president, Sharff Weisberg. "So, when Electrosonic decided they would benefit from a higher profile in the New York area, we realized that our clients could benefit as well from Electrosonic's global reach and well-developed infrastructure."
Electrosonic, with offices in Minneapolis, Burbank, Orlando, Princeton, London, Helsinki, and the Far East, has a 40-year history in the audio/video market with design, installation, manufacturing, and staffing capabilities. The company has designed and installed complex systems at hundreds of well-known sites around the world, including recently the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the Bremen Space Park in Germany, and the William Jefferson Clinton Library in Little Rock.
Scharff Weisberg has a 25-year history as a New York-based provider of audio, video, and lighting technology. In addition to offering staging and rental services, Scharff Weisberg's Systems Integration unit has been designing and installing permanent systems for the past ten years. Recent projects include a new multi-projector HD display system for ESPN Sportscenter in Connecticut, the new Prada Epicenter store in Beverly Hills, as well as an extensive audio/video system for the brand-new Pirate Soul Museum in Key West, Fla.
Since both partners have long-standing relationships with their respective clients, the new operation has been organized to foster continuity and ensure that clients have transparent access to the people and resources they are familiar with.
"Scharff Weisberg's approach to boutique-style collaboration with the cream of the architecture and design world will be kept intact within Electrosonic New York," says Jim Bowie, general manager, Electrosonic's North American systems operation. "However, it will be greatly enhanced by Electrosonic's multiple locations and extensive staff. Together we'll be able to deliver innovative design supported by cost-efficient installation to an even greater degree than before. Clients will continue to work with Josh Weisberg, Peter Scharff, and crew on concept design while having Electrosonic provide support, design development, and installation."
Electrosonic New York is located at 36-36 33rd Street, Long Island City, Queens, within a newly renovated space adjacent to Scharff Weisberg's offices.

McDermott scores 34 in Creighton win
BERKELEY, Calif. -- Doug McDermott scored a season-high 34 points and No. 13/16 Creighton never trailed in a 74-64 men's basketball win at California on Saturday night at Haas Pavilion.
Creighton improved to 10-1 on the season and is now 8-1 in the past two years against BCS teams, while the Bears dropped to 6-3 on the season.
Creighton scored on three of its first five possessions and Cal missed on its first eight shots as the Jays led 8-0 after three minutes and forced a Bears timeout. McDermott scored six of the points for the Jays.
Creighton and Cal would slug it out in a physical first half, but CU would never give up its lead and were ahead 35-29 at intermission. McDermott made his first five attempts and headed into the locker room with 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting. Gregory Echenique had seven rebounds and three blocks in the half, as well. Allen Crabbe, who entered the game averaging 21.9 points per game, was held to two first half points on 0-of-9 shooting from the floor.
The teams went scoreless in the first three minutes of the second half before Crabbe finally connected on his 13th attempt of the game. The Jays responded with a 10-2 flurry, inclduing three-pointers by Grant Gibbs and McDermott, and led 44-33 with 14:55 to go. The Bears clawed back with the next eight points before Echenique stopped the bleeding with an offensive putback.
Crabbe would hit a tough turnaround jumper to narrow Creighton's lead to 46-43, but Creighton then got hot from deep. McDermott, Gibbs and Jahenns Manigat nailed three-pointers on consecutive possessions as Creighton led 55-43 with 10:08 to play. A short time later, Echenique would bury his man to score inside as the Jays took their largest lead at 57-43 with 8:42 to go.
Cal steadily came back, drawing within 65-59 with 2:03 left on a Ricky Kreklow free throw. A deep three-pointer from Justin Cobbs made it 67-62 with 1:42 left. The Bears got a stop and had five chances to draw closer, but Creighton finally snared the rebound with 37.8 to play. Manigat would make 1-of-3 free throws on the next two trips, but Justin Cobbs answered with a lay-up to make it 68-64 with 23.1 left.
Creighton's Ethan Wragge gave the Jays its first bench points of the game with two free throws with 23.1 left. Cal would miss a deep three on its next possession, and the Jays closed it out at the line with four McDermott foul shots.
McDermott finished with 34 points and nine rebounds, while Manigat had 11. Also in double-figures with 10 points were Gibbs and Echenique, the latter owning 10 rebounds. Echenique also added a season-best five blocked shots. Creighton shot 41.0 percent from the floor and made 16-of-21 foul shots.
Cal was led by 18 points from Cobbs and 14 more from Crabbe, who was hounded into 6-of-26 shooting from the floor. The Bears won the glass 53-38, but made just 27-of-78 field goals and 7-of-13 at the line.
Creighton plays its final home game before a 10-day holiday break on Wednesday when it hosts Tulsa in a 7:05 pm game at CenturyLink Center Omaha.
NOTES: Doug McDermott moved past Gary Collier (Tulsa), Andrew Warren (Bradley) and Willie McCarter (Drake) in the first half and now ranks 51st in MVC history in career points ...Doug McDermott had 18 points in the first half, the fifth time in 11 games this season he's had 18 or more at intermission ...Doug McDermott has now made 21-of-30 three-point shots in the past five games.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
In Manhattan, where a walk-in closet is a covetable luxury, finding the space to house over 50,000 garments and accessories is no small feat. Over the course of several years, that's exactly what the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) has managed to do. Now, a hand-picked selection of looks are coming out of storage for two consecutive exhibitions, The Great Designers: Part One (opened yesterday) and Part Two, along with a pair of books to match (due out next year).
"For the general public it's going to be the big names—Armani, Chanel, Dior—that are the attraction, but personally, I'm really excited about the opportunity it gave us to build out our contemporary collection," Valerie Steele, the museum's director and chief curator, said at the press preview of the Part One exhibition (co-curated by Jennifer Farley and Colleen Hill) this morning. Of the tomes, highlighting 500 looks by 100 designers from the twentieth century onward, Steele added, "I have wanted to do a book for the museum with Taschen for a long time, ever since they did a fantastic publication for the Kyoto Costume Institute."
Both the exhibitions and books gave Steele a fun excuse to "shop"—two of the most exciting purchases are a black wool coat with delicate gold embroidery from Alexander McQueen's Fall 1997 collection for Givenchy and a liquid silver Thierry Mugler mermaid dress from 1987. Part One features approximately 50 garments from several generations of designers. It was surprising to see how easily current looks by designers like Prada (a black and baby blue guipure lace and cotton frock from the memorable Fall 2008 collection) blended with early-twentieth-century pieces. The black Paul Poiret silk faille coat from 1908, trimmed with fine black and gold fringe that doubled for fur at a distance, is great for today's pelt-wary. An Elsa Schiaparelli gown in black rayon, cut on the bias and with a swirling flower print, had an asymmetrical shoulder seen on many of the gowns in recent runway seasons.
The Great Designers, Part One at the Museum at FIT, Seventh Avenue at 27th Street. On view November 29 to May 8, 2012.
The dress was very styling and great, i like it, it just like the dress i custom from http://www.elegente.com, i will post photos of mine soon. great view.

Nashville Mayor Karl Dean unveiled the $500,000 library makeover at a Metro school on Friday.
Dean and others cut the ribbon on the new library at Wright Middle School.
The technology upgrade is courtesy of the mayor's "Limitless Libraries" program.
The idea - to make each school library just like a branch of the Nashville Public Library, featuring the same access and resources.
"It's hard to believe that renovating a school library can transform a community, but we've proven it," said John R. Ingram, who donated money for the library project.
This is the city's second library renovation. Hillwood High School's library was completed last year.
The city's budget includes money for two more library transformations. Dean said today that Dupont Tyler Middle School in Hermitage and Apollo Middle School in Antioch would be the next schools in line for renovations.

After years of venture capital and startup focus on consumer-focused tech companies, enterprise networks and the data center are back in vogue.
But we're not talking sexy Vogue. We're talking virtualization, cloud computing and software-defined networking (SDN) -- the sorts of technologies IT managers need to run more efficient data centers and better support increasingly mobile workforces and customers.
[ Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
"It's an area that hasn't had any innovation in decades," says Jamie Goldstein of North Bridge Venture Partners about the networking industry. "Vendors are still selling the same Ethernet switches they were in the 1990s. Maybe the interfaces are faster, but it's all basically the same technology. Until recently." SDN is a fundamental change in networking, he says, which is causing excitement in the venture capital community.

3.13/5 rDev -20.8%
The Zipaquira was ok....didnt knock my sox off. The beer poured a pale yellow with sediment particles and white head that left a spotty lace. The smell had some citrus and belgium malt. The taste was a weak belgium pale not much going on....sure there was some citrus and belgium sweet malt, but other than that not much going on. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall...eh.

3.71/5 rDev -6.1%
Golden color, slightly hazy. It made a three finger head with low retention.
Sweet aroma of Belgian yeast, caramel, cloves and biscuit malt.
Very pleasant taste, sweet malt and Belgian yeast with notes of oranges, cinnamon, maybe anis and caramel. Dry aftertaste.
Light to medium body with low carbonation. Alcohol of 6.4% ABV is completely hidden.
A refreshing and flavorful Belgian ale, not overly complex, nice to drink it even at a hot day. Likely among the top three of BBC brews.

3.75/5 rDev -5.1%
A: Rich, glowing golden with just a hint of an orange hue. Mildly cloudy with lots of fine floaties. Medium to small white head. Plenty of active bubbles. Decent splotches of lace.
S: Spot on Belgian pale nose with good strength. Fruity with pear & banana prominent and a hint of tropical. Malts are wheat, a touch toasty & bready, and a soft bit of sweetness. Restrained herbal & spicy hops. Hint of fairly clean yeast.
T: Same components as nose, but quite different proportions. Fruit dials back & also focuses more on banana. Doughy wheat is a lot more forward. More yeast too. Herbal hops are also more present with a good dose of bitterness. Spice also comes out more – and seems to come from both yeast & hops. Some pears shows through stronger towards the end. Hint of a pleasant earthy note I the finish. Lingering herbal hops.
M: Just mediu body with carbonation a tad over matched. Cushiony & almost soft core while being bright & refreshing at the edges. Ghost hint of sticky sugars on the lips. Spicy hop drying takes a bit to really kick in.
D: A nice wheaty Belgian pale ale. Pleasantly fruity in the nose & up front with a solid hop backing on the palate. Nice, stand-up offering from an interesting brewery (craft brew in Bogota, Colombia).

'11 Version.
Had the pleasure of having this re-brew of their "Abbey", or rather Belgian Pale Ale, on-tap with fellow BA aschwab and head honcho Berny Silberwasser at the BBC in Usaquen, on what should be the city's upper east side. I review it however with a beer in hand, from a bottle.
Now, a couple of years back this was their first venture into the great array of belgian styles and I granted them much credit for having a successful first-go, although back then it was more of an experimental brew. This time around, it comes off much more mature, elaborate and flavourful; indeed perfected. I can only hope it doesn't run out too soon throughout.
The pour, in general terms, is unchanged. I'm having it on a Duvel tulip and the head covers up to about 3/4 to the top, a thick and radiant, yet very compact white creaminess to it. below, glowy mid-way between yellow and orange, much more opaque than i had it pegged out to be the previous times. cloudy but not dirty looking, and granted a great contrast of sights.
Head fades half-quickly but leaves tonnes of lacing behind, in a rather organised fashion, rimming the beertop with also a few chunks afloat; very much *that* look you get from the very yeasty belgians.
Smell is beautiful, all throughout akin to some place between a Duvel and a Leffe Triple; very spiced, pungy herbal feel of the former, and a sweet, grapefruit appeal of the latter. The alcohol does become perceivable this time around with just a subtle stimulus at the back of the nose; and much more intense in general than the previous version- the smell is perceivable now even at a distance.
The taste is the most significant improvement in my opinion. from a shy (or shier) feel, it emboldened into a flavourful sweet sour blend, peppery at times, a feel of the strongest limes in its bitterness at others, and an orange or grapefruit sweetness for the gentler part. It is not malty and has certainly put behind a moderate witbier feel it used to have, favouring then a purer pale ale feel.
I remain intrigued about the hops, although they seem to be much more consonant with the rest of the flavours this time; they're bitter but not too much so; they're grassy but in a discrete fashion; but it seems undeniable, they're there.
The alcohol also comes across as much more present and blended into the whole taste, no efforts to hide it but rather to integrate it- in a very, very successful fashion I must say. it is there throughout, close to the feel you should get from, perhaps (again) a Duvel, but not quite that strong either. but it is there, and it is an welcome addition.
As far as drinkability goes, you would definetly not choose to session this but it can last you a few glasses' (or chalices') worth, but it is worth tasting thoroughly and deliberately. at 6.4%ABV it shouldn't come down too strongly but isn't worth going crazy about.
Overall, it perhaps represents among the best offerings the BBC has pulled in its years. It is a testament to their steady improvement as it reflects not only the evolution of this beer but of the company as a whole (with their recent IPAs or stronger belgian ales) growing and perfecting themselves through the years rather than stagnating on their usuals given their financial success "either way".

I've been in many parts of the world and had different beers all over the place. One day I found myself in calle 83 Bogota Beer Company Pub. This beer is the best they had that day. After having different tastes from all their tap selection, I found myself drinking a Belgium wheat recipe (witbier) in Bogota, Colombia. Let me say that it is hard find decent beers in south america, specially witbier or hefeweissen (not including imported beers of course). BBC, this is a beer to keep for those who are diehards about their beer.
BBC Colombia, A must!!

It Freeman guys, it's Freeman. Freeman has as complete of a team as any QB in the league so our record could be 6-10, it could be 11-5. I can see both happening depending on which Josh Freeman comes to the ball park the most this year.I think most fans would agree with 9-7 a month ago. Now after another terrible preseason by Josh, like usual we're a bit concerned and not ready to throw our hat into 9-7
Pewter Report breaks down the Buccaneers 2013 schedule game-by-game and projects a 9-7 record for Tampa Bay. Will that be enough wins for the Bucs to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2007? http://www.pewterreport.com/index.php?option=com_magazine&view=item&id=2990&Itemid=71
There\'s a very real chance the Bucs waive [Revis] before next season. At the very least, it will be a discussion worth having.

In Mind
Geriatric mental health essential for sustaining quality of life.
For the past five years, Jason Charland has been a direct care provider in a group home for adults with mental illness, assisting residents with daily living tasks and recreational activities, supporting social skill development and administering medications. The experience prompted him to pursue a master's degree in social work at the University of Maine.
"What I really understood is the impact you can have on an individual's quality of life," he says. "Providing interaction and support is very rewarding."
In the Master of Social Work (MSW) Program, Charland has worked as a field student, then as a graduate research assistant in UMaine's Center on Aging. He has been involved in varied Center on Aging projects, including researching the transportation needs of elders with chronic illness, elder abuse screening and education in the primary care setting, and prescription drug conference planning.
Charland's full-time job as a direct care provider also gave him a unique perspective on a research project designed to improve services for the elderly with mental health issues in the state. He developed a training program on geriatric mental health for direct care providers and compiled information on elder suicide prevention for the Maine Joint Advisory Committee on Select Services for Older Persons, and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services.
The joint advisory committee and the department were charged by the legislature with addressing issues in a law passed in 2005 to improve access and delivery of mental health services to older adults.
Charland developed a five-hour training curriculum for direct care service providers working with Maine's older adults in long-term care, residential and home care settings. The educational program covers aging myths and keys to healthy aging, late-life depression and elder suicide risk, Alzheimer's disease and dementia, other mental illnesses, management of difficult behaviors and substance abuse.
"All older adults have unique needs," Charland says. "Becoming aware of those needs when it comes to mental health will help the quality of services direct care workers provide."
The effects of chronic illness, multiple medications and isolation complicate mental health issues in elders. In some settings, the social network for the elderly is reduced to other residents and the facility's staff.
"That's why it's so important for the staff to be supportive and understand symptoms and behaviors presented as the result of mental illness, offering a safe and caring environment in which to keep the person's dignity and respect intact," he says. "Support can offer some relief."
In long-term care facilities, there is a prevalence of mental health problems in elders, as well as a high turnover rate and shortage of direct care workers, Charland says. It is estimated that more than 60 percent of persons in nursing facilities and 53 percent in residential care have mental health diagnoses. Charland cautions that a small percentage of the elderly population is in institutional care, and these numbers do not reflect mental health issues of the general population of adults age 65 and older.
Training staff in how to deal with mental health problems has been shown to improve patient outcomes, including fewer depressive symptoms and better management of aggressive behaviors. Staff members have greater job satisfaction and better job performance.
"Understanding the best ways to interact with presenting behaviors can impact the older adult's quality of life," says Charland. "This is a proactive approach to increase preventative skills of workers to anticipate and redirect disruptive behaviors."
Charland also compiled research on best practices for addressing elder suicide. He found only two states, Oregon and Pennsylvania, have formal elder suicide prevention plans in place.
"Most state suicide prevention programs are targeted to youth, but now Maine is starting to take a lifespan approach inclusive of all age groups."
In Maine, more than 18 percent of all suicides � approximately 30 a year � occur after age 65, which mirrors the national average. Nationally, the rate of suicide among white men age 85 and older is 4.6 times greater than the rate for all ages.
Among the risk factors for elder suicide: loss of spouse, living alone, access to lethal means, and physical and mental illness.
Charland's three major recommendations involve more frequent depression screenings for elders in primary care settings, coordination of elder suicide prevention efforts with the existing Maine Youth Suicide Prevention Program, and training for "gatekeepers," like volunteers who deliver meals, in order to identify at-risk older adults and refer them for help.
"The most compelling finding was that screenings for depression by primary care physicians have the most promising effect," Charland says. "Older adults trust their doctors and are willing to talk to them about mental health issues when they may not want to go to a psychologist or psychiatrist."
Above all, when caring for elders with mental health issues, it's important to see the people, not their disease or challenging behaviors, says Charland, who completes his graduate work in May.
"It's been a great opportunity to work on these two projects knowing the end products will be used in one way or another to positively impact the lives of older Mainers."

Brad Miller: Where will the refs screw you this year? Video.
Fan picks for Bulls Player of the Year awards.
Here's mine: Dear Stu Jackson and the NBA: When players throughout the league start defending layups by taking a fist to the shooter's head, you will be to blame. Your explanation regarding why the Rondo call stands as called is utterly dissatisfactory. Your reasoning was that there was no windup and no follow-through. But the only reason there was no follow-through was that Brad Miller's face absorbed all of the impact of the strike. And on the contrary, there was a windup--sufficient windup to make contact hard enough to draw blood and make Miller woozy. Bottom line, it simply wasn't a play on the ball--it was vicious blow to the player's head. Your erroneous ruling creates a horrible precedent, because it creates a bright-line rule as to how far players can go in terms of fouling a shooter, with no fear of punishment whatsoever, not even a flagrant 1. Congratulations. You've given the green light to every defensive player to defend layups with closed-fist punches to the shooter's head, from behind the shooter.
This season's not yet over, but I'm not exactly confident that the Bulls are going places in the playoffs (aside from a quick trip to Boston). I think I speak for most Bulls fans when I say we have...

In north Minneapolis, neighbors wonder at times about all the clucks and crows coming from behind this house, but why? It's a sanctuary for neglected chickens.
Mary Britton Clouse started Chicken Run Rescue 12 years ago, an advocacy group for hens and roosters in the city. She holds one that she suspects had been tethered to a fence and now walks on stumps.
"The girls are put into a rotating machine where a hot blade comes off and cuts their beaks off," she added.
"I'm saying if they are going to be welcomed into the family as a companion animal with proper care, proper veterinary care attention and affection that works."
Most of the time, she says that's not the case.
"I would say easily to do it all right we'd probably be looking at a $3,000-$5,000 commitment at the beginning," she said.
Instead, Mary says this growing trend of backyard coops in the city is being done on the cheap, and when owners start to realize raising chickens isn't that glamorous, they put them on Craigslist.
On Craigslist, you can find hundreds of chickens for next to nothing and free in some cases. Mary is also working with Minneapolis Animal Control; they take in around 400 chickens a year that are simply abandoned on the streets.
"Which is why we have so many birds that have frost bitten limbs that have to be amputated," Mary said of the chickens who must wander in the bitter cold.
While Mary knows she's facing head winds from the organic and natural food crowd, she just wants to make sure people understand what they're getting themselves into before raising a chicken at home.
"There's a lot of unknowledgeable people training lots of unknowledgeable people," Mary said.

Bucs place LB Black on IR
Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed linebacker Quincy Black on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after he suffered a scary neck injury in the team's last game.
Black exited Sunday's 34-24 win over San Diego on a stretcher following a helmet-to-helmet collision with Chargers running back Ryan Mathews in the third quarter. The sixth-year pro was taken to a local hospital and underwent several hours of observation before being released later that night.
Though Black did not sustain any permanent spinal damage, Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said on Monday that the New Mexico product was still experiencing some complications with his left arm.
"The spine is fine," Schiano said. "It's the nerves and things coming off that. I don't want to say too much because I'm not exactly sure and I'd hate to misspeak, but I do know that it needs some further tests to get right to the bottom of it."
Black has served as Tampa Bay's starting strongside linebacker since 2009 and was a third-round draft choice of the Bucs two years earlier. The 28-year-old finishes this season with 32 tackles while starting five of the team's first nine games.

Dear Natalie,
As you escape all the "legitimate" quotes from the self-proclaimed leaders of our region, take with you a continuing willingness to challenge such self-importance. Your writing, with our thanks, was a mirror for attitudes by such self-importance and allowed a majority of readers to judge what was legitimate and what was too political.
Job well done!

Everton didn't make things easy on Manchester City at Eastlands on Saturday, but the quality of the Citizens eventually shined through. The Toffees defended brilliantly throughout the match and didn't look like conceding for the first 60 minutes of the game. Then, a couple of changes - one by each team - completely altered the game. Mario Balotelli came on for Edin Dzeko in the 60th minute, then Tim Cahill was forced out with an injury in the 66th. It was all City from there, and they cruised to a 2-0 victory.
Cahill was doing brilliantly to win headers and come back and defend from his lone striker position, but the game changed considerably when he came off. His departure, combined with the mobility of Balotelli gave City an edge. The Italian international scored with his second touch of the ball in the 68th minute, assisted by Sergio Aguero.
The real highlight of the game came in the 89th minute, when James Milner sealed the deal with City's second goal. It was Milner's first goal in the Premier League in a City shirt, but the finish wasn't the highlight. Instead, it was David Silva's unbelievable through ball that cut through the Everton defense with ease, giving Milner little work to do.
City now sit on top of the table, while Everton could drop out of the top half with later results.

Some shoppers enjoy being part of the holiday rush.
Others like Jan Kruse aren't the least bit fond of it.
"I usually have a plan of what I want, and I can usually get it all done. I"am not the big crowd shopper," Kruse said.
Kruse plans on having her shopping list checked off by Thanksgiving.
But even shopping early doesn't mean avoiding crowds. Scheels in Coralville has seen heavy foot traffic already the weekend before the madness is supposed to begin.
"A lot of people getting in buying stuff already for Christmas even before we get into buying into Thanksgiving," said Matt Untiedt, an assistant sales leader at Scheels.
Retailers work extra hard this time of year to help protect from criminal behavior and to accommodate the high demand.
"We definitely have more staff during the day just to help with the large crowds that we have," Untiedt said.
Police remind people there's plenty they can do to shop smart this time of year and to keep an eye out for suspicious behavior.
Kruse says this time of year she takes a couple of extra safeguards to limit her vulnerability.
"We make lots of trips out to the car and lock everything in the trunk. That's basically it. We don't carry a lot of cash with us," she said.
Police recommend shoppers carry a single credit or debit card instead of a large amount of bills.
Valuables in the car should be kept out of sight and shoppers should park in well-lit areas.
Police also recommend for consumers to have a plan in place and to tell kids where to go and who to talk to if separated.
It may not hurt for those like Kruse to get the shopping done ahead of the worst of the rush.
It could help make this Black Friday a little less hectic.
"I'm sleeping," Kruse said.

Note: This article first appeared in the Winter 2011 issue of Focus.
Meredith McNabb describes her adorable one-year-old son Max as "an amazing little guy - he's sweet and cuddly." In a word, perfect. Well, almost.
Max has supraventricular tachycardia, an electrical malfunction that can cause his heart to race rapidly. His first, and so far only, episode occurred when he was just two weeks old, following a brief bout of fussiness that kept him from eating. Max's mother and grandfather rushed him to Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital's Emergency Department, a short distance from the family's downtown Frankfort printing company.
"The staff immediately tried to get vital signs on him, and it was so hard because he was so tiny," Meredith said. Max's heart rate was skyrocketing and his blood sugar and blood oxygen levels were dangerously low.
"They tried to put in an IV, but he was so little and dehydrated, they couldn't get one started," Meredith said. "They finally were able to get an IV in and got some fluids into him, which brought him back."
