Your Chance to Rub Elbows (Literally) with James Franco
There isn't much that the Palo Alto native turned modern-day Renaissance Man hasn't conquered—Oscar caliber acting (the arm cutting scene in 127 Hours still gives me chills); teaching filmmaking at NYU, USC, and UCLA; becoming a PhD candidate at Yale; volunteering for charities.
But next week, Commonwealth Club hosts James Franco as he makes a stop in town to celebrate yet another accomplishment: his first full-length novel about being inducted into Hollywood's celebrity circle, complete with dirty details. He'll take the hot seat on the Castro Theatre stage to talk about his experience writing Actors Anonymous. And while he's up there, the lucky moderator will grill him on all things James.
Consider this event our very own live version of Inside the Actor's Studio. Now, here's the important part—if you splurge and buy a premium ticket ($75 for members; $95 for non-members), you'll have the chance to rub elbows with James at a private, pre-program reception. Do yourself a favor and read at least a few passages of the book ahead of time, so you can have some quality one-on-one conversation as he signs your copy. (You don't want to be that vacuous, swooning fan.) This event will no doubt sell out, so get your tickets before it's too late.
6:30 - 8 p.m., Sun. 10/27; Castro Theatre; 429 Castro St., commonwealthclub.org

T&T's Kes rocks Bleu party
ORGANISERS of Bleu kicked off their party series at the Sunset Jamaica Grande in Ocho Rios, St Ann, last Friday evening.
The north tower of the property was totally 'locked down' for its '90s and pajama-themed parties.
Saturday afternoon's Sky Bleu '90s party took place at the poolside area.
The 2:00 pm start heard DJ Rusti taking a dance/house music approach but by the time the party was in full swing late evening, 3rd Dimension brought the crowd to its feet with PSY's Gangnam style.
The sight of Olympic sprinter Asafa Powell and cricketer Chris Gayle performing their own versions of the popular dance sent patrons wild.
DJ Cruise took over the reins heading into the main event, a live performance from Trinidad & Tobago's KES.
Cruise brought the dancehall/reggae vibe missing from the previous sets, which matched perfectly with the energetic KES' soca stylings.
The mix pushed the party into overdrive, as patrons ignored the rain.

Bedwetting and Autism
Most infants and young children are very social creatures who need and want contact with others to thrive and grow. They smile, cuddle, laugh and respond eagerly to games like peek-a-boo or hide-and-seek. Occasionally, however, a child does not interact in this expected manner. Instead, the child seems to exist in his own world, a place characterized by repetitive routines, odd behaviors, problems in communication and a lack of social awareness or interest in others. These are characteristics of a developmental disorder called autism.
Bedwetting is one of many issues autistic children face. In comparison, it is likely a less important problem, but a problem nonetheless. "Autistic children, in general, have trouble with bedwetting, because they have difficulty in toilet training," says Dr. Cynthia R. Johnson, director of the Autism Center at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, Penn.
Sensory Influence
Why do autistic children have trouble learning to use the toilet? "A number of factors are involved," says Dr. Johnson. "For one, autistic children are not good at imitation, which makes the process of potty training more difficult and that is only for the daytime training."
They are also hypotonic, says Dr. Johnson, which is a condition that includes a lax form of muscle control as well as a failure to respond or recognize stimuli such as the need to urinate. In some children, they do not even feel the wetness of the bed, which can complicate the training methods to help children overcome nighttime bedwetting. "They are not well regulated overall and need to learn these things," she says.
"My son, now 5 years old, who has mild autism, wasn't fully potty-trained until about 4 3/4 years old, but then again, boys often take longer," says Teresa, a mother in Indiana. "I have read that because it's difficult to get autistic children to fully understand their body signals, it can be hard for them to know when to use the toilet. And, of course, if they don't know or understand their body signals during the day, then they will wet their beds at night, because they will be even less tuned to body signals while asleep."
Jeanne Brohart, mother of 5-year-old Zachary, who is autistic, has her own idea of the link between autism and bedwetting. "In my opinion, the issue of bedwetting is related to damage in the area of the basal ganglia and the cerebellum," says Brohart, who created a Web site to help other parents of autistic children called Autismhelpforyou.com. "Both of these areas of the brain are known to be damaged in children with autism. If you look at the functions involved in the basal ganglia, they include matters relating to the movement control, cognition, learning and motivation."
Controlling Enuresis
There are many treatments available to help with enuresis, including limiting fluids and waking the child to use the bathroom. With special needs children, however, it's best to tailor their treatment to their condition.
According to Dr. Johnson, behavioral-based methods are best for children with autism. "It needs to be structured more toward the child and his or her individual needs," she says. "There are a lot of books on this type of training available. It requires a lot more effort and demands on the time of the parent. Once the child masters daytime control, the next step is nighttime control."
Teresa tried a number of methods to help her son with his bedwetting. "My son was using the potty pretty well during the day for several months before finally getting the hang of it at night," she says. "During that time, he would occasionally wet his bed. We tried several things, including reducing the amount of fluids he drinks before bedtime, putting a pad between his sheets and the mattress (so the mattress would not get soaked) and using disposable underpants for bedtime. We also talked with him a lot about how if he feels the need, he is to get up and use the toilet. "
Using disposable absorbent underpants can be a good solution for kids to help them feel dry at night while they're still developing control. And it saves wear and tear on parents, who may be changing and washing the sheets and pajamas every night.
Brohart found limiting fluids before bedtime helped her son, who has recently shown improvement. "I try not to give him too much to drink before bed," she says. "There have been a few nights recently when he awoke 'dry,' so I'm hoping by the end of summer the potty training will be a non-issue for us. If it continues to be, however, then all I can do is be understanding."
Adjusting Diet
A treatment that seems to work well for children with autism is diet intervention. It often helps because autistic individuals are more apt to have allergies and food sensitivities, which many believe to be caused by their impaired immune system.
The most common food allergies tend to come from grains, dairy products, strawberries and citrus fruits. Grain products like wheat, oats, rye and barley cause allergies due to the gluten they contain, and the casein in dairy causes reactions to milk products. Consuming these foods can lead to bedwetting, plus a host of other symptoms such as headaches, nausea, stomachaches, stuttering, whining, crying, insomnia, hyperactivity, aggression, ear infections and possibly a seizure.
To test if your child is having a reaction to a certain type of food, remove the item from their diet for a week or two and then feed it to them on an empty stomach. If there is a reaction, it will take place in 15 to 60 minutes. You can also try giving them the food every so many days. If they have a reaction on those days, then there is an allergy to the item.
Of course, the best thing to do is to speak with your doctor before trying any treatment. He or she can help you tailor a program to fit your child's specific needs and encourage you that most children do grow out of bedwetting – autistic or not.

With all the talk about the miracle of mineral makeup these days, beauty companies are discovering new ways to incorporate minerals into their skin care products. From deep volcanic mud baths to mineral based lip glosses, this earthy craze has taken many white-lab-coat-clad chemists from their sterile laboratories to plunging headfirst into the deepest, muddiest mineral waters.
The benefits of mineral-rich Thermal Spring Waters have been studied for centuries, and although the claims of these minerals range from simple to absurd, there are many benefits that have been proven time and time again. Thermal Mineral Spring Waters are added to products to help them detoxify, soften, soothe, and rejuvenate aging and acne-prone skin.
The mineral often found in the highest concentration is Selenium. Resulting from rain water flowing through miles of limestone, this trace mineral is an excellent antioxidant, aiding the body with its ongoing fight against free radicals, both internally and when applied topically. By fighting free radicals, it disallows cellular change and mutation and is highly effective for the rejuvenation of aging skin, and gently detoxifying even the most sensitive skin.
Some of the deepest Thermal Spring Waters have been gathering trace minerals for tens of thousands of years, all while being protected from all pollutions on the earth's surface. The minerals gained over this time work together to provide a perfectly balanced, clean, and complex formula that's added to many highly effective skin care treatments. Unlike harsh anti-aging and anti-acne products, which can strip and irritate the skin, these minerals work with the body to help activate cell renewal and revive dull, dry skin.
One skin care brand that's figured out how to tap these spring waters straight from the source and deliver it to your fingertips is La Roche-Posay. The professional skin care line provides ultra-gentle products formulated with untainted mineral-rich spring water.

Painter Josephine Halvorson
Josephine Halvorson makes oil paintings on site. She finds objects in their environment that she feels "look back" at her by revealing traces of human activity. Working directly from perception, and often completing her paintings in a single session, Halvorson's process allows for a prolonged closeness and shared experience with her chosen subjects, especially the human quality of their graffiti and the time that has worn itself on them. This collaboration between artist, materials, and environment forges a painting that serves as a record of the artist's conversation with the world and a testament to time spent.
Halvorson's work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Europe, and Mexico. Her solo New York exhibitions "What Looks Back" at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. and "Clockwise From Window" at Monya Rowe were highly acclaimed and reviewed in The New York Times, ArtForum, Art In America, Modern Painters, The Brooklyn Rail, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, among others. Group exhibitions include "Americanana" curated by Katy Siegel at Hunter College, and "Still" curated by Peter Fleissig at Frith Street Gallery, London. Halvorson is the recipient of many awards including a U.S. Fulbright Fellowship to Vienna, Austria; a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant; and a New York Foundation for the Arts award in painting. Halvorson's work is represented by Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York and Galerie Nelson-Freeman in Paris, where she has a forthcoming exhibition this winter.
Josephine Halvorson began teaching at Princeton in 2011 and comes to Princeton from The Cooper Union where she teaches Advanced Painting. She also currently serves as a Core Critic in the MFA program at Yale University, and as a Visiting Critic in the MFA program at Columbia University. She has lectured widely at educational and cultural institutions including The Cooper Union, The School of Visual Arts, Boston University, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Massachusetts College of Art, Maryland Institute College of Art, Vassar College, The New York Studio School, The University of Tennessee, and Rutgers University. When she's not traveling to paint on site in Death Valley, Tennessee, Iceland, or England, Halvorson can be found at her studio in Brooklyn, New York.

text: Decoding 'the Hispanic Paradox' Dallas Morning News January 17, 2014 Dr. Kyriakos Markides, a professor of aging studies at UTMB, coined the term Hispanic Paradox in 1986 while studying the health of Mexicans in the Southwest. "It's been many years since we discovered this, and people still haven't figured it out," he says. Back in the '80s, Markides' research showed that the health of Hispanics in the Southwest resembled that of Anglos, although Hispanics were poorer, were more likely to be unemployed and had less access to health care. "It was so paradoxical," he says. A recent study that found that Hispanics in Texas are usually diagnosed with cancer much later than Anglos. But even then, Hispanic immigrants are more likely than whites to survive cancer. It's yet another paradox. "It's a very puzzling fact," says Dr. James S. Goodwin, a doctor at UTMB, who led the cancer study. Goodwin agrees that the importance of family may lie at the heart of the Hispanic Paradox and that the survival advantage might be explained by the fact that Hispanics who are sick and hospitalized are more likely to be discharged home and taken care of by family, compared with other groups. « Back | The Newsroom »

Your roots deserve the most conservative, technologically advanced care. You can trust Dr. Nitu Singh to restore your tooth by gently removing the infection with little or no discomfort. We proceed at a calm speed that clears away all infection and returns you to your normal lifestyle in complete comfort.
After your root canal is complete, it's normal to experience some measure of discomfort for several days. To relieve this discomfort, please take the pain medication recommended by Dr. Singh.
Dr. Singh recommends the placement of a crown after a root canal. In the meanwhile, rinse your mouth often with warm salt water, which is soothing and takes down swelling. Avoid chewing sticky foods like gum or hard foods like ice, etc. If possible, chew only on the opposite side of your mouth.

Brooklyn Academy of Music to Host "Little Shop of Horrors" Sing-Along, Featuring Rick Moranis
By Carey Purcell
Brooklyn Academy of Music will present a sing-along screening of the film "Little Shop of Horrors" Oct. 25 at 8 PM. The event will include an appearance by Rick Moranis, who starred in the film as Seymour Krelborn.
Directed by Frank Oz, the movie musical premiered in 1986, starring Moranis and original stage star Ellen Greene as Audrey. "Little Shop of Horrors" was based on the Off-Broadway musical of the same name that opened in 1982. The musical, starring Greene and Lee Wilkof, ran for five years, closing Nov. 1, 1987.
Little Shop of Horrors, by composer Alan Menken and late lyricist-librettist Howard Ashman, features music in the style of early 1960s rock-and-roll and doo-wop as well as more traditional Broadway ballads like "Somewhere That's Green." A 2003 Broadway production starred Hunter Foster and Kerry Butler.
Click here to see Playbill.com's collection of videos from Little Shop of Horrors.
The musical was based on the 1960 black comedy film "The Little Shop of Horrors," directed by Roger Corman. The film followed a down-on-his luck florist named Seymour who encounters a new species of plant that feeds on human flesh and lures him into a world of fame, greed and murder.

Olympiacos have given themselves some hope of qualifying for the knockout rounds of the 2012 Champions League by dispatching Montpellier with a pair of late goals. Having already beaten these opponents in France, they knew a win would see them back within theoretical touching distance of Arsenal, and Leandro Greco's 81st-minute winner means that they did just that.
The hosts were always in charge of the match, and they went ahead early via a goal from Paulo Machado. He didn't do much of the work, though -- said goal was presented on a platter for him after the work of Djamel Abdoun and Konstantinos Mitroglou, the latter smashing a shot off the near post after Abdoun swung in a wonderful low cross. The rebound fell straight to Machado, who stuck the ball straight into the empty net for a 1-0 lead.
It took Montpellier a full hour to regroup, but the defending Ligue 1 champions eventually drew level. Francois Modesto was the culprit, as far as Olympiacos were concerned, the defender having seen fit to wrestle Souleymane Camara to the ground in the penalty area, giving up a spot kick in the process. The otherwise quiet Younes Belhanda stepped up, slotting past Roy Carroll with a precise effort despite the goalkeeper guessing the right way.
But the equaliser only serve to invigourate the hosts, who pressed forward almost immediately and were given the reward their play deserved when a poor clearance from Belhanda presented Greco with a chance to reestablish the lead. The Italian cleverly diverted the ball past a wrong-footed Geoffrey Jourdren to make it 2-1. It was 3-1 moments later after a lovely finish from Mitroglou, who fired home after being fed with a neat delivery by left back Jose Holebas.
That marked the end of the match as a sporting contest. It devolved instead into something far less savory, with Montpellier, who've been all but guaranteed last place in the group, in the mood to draw blood rather than play football. Fortunately, nobody was too badly hurt.

Web Service Protocols: Compatibility and Adaptation
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
The composition of web services involves wiring together multiple web services and having them interact often in ways not originally foreseen during their initial development. In doing so, it is unavoidable that incompatibilities may arise and need to be identified and resolved. Two services are protocol-compatible if every joint execution of these services leads to a proper final state, i.e. a state in which both services are in a final state in their respective protocols. When two services are incompatible, it may be possible to introduce an adapter to resolve their mismatches. In such cases, the service protocols are said to be adaptable. Depending on the types of mismatches, it may be possible to automatically synthesize an adapter. Automated approaches for adapter generation make the following assumptions: there is no mismatch at the interface-level, or the correct interface mappings have been provided as the input, and if there are interactions which lead to deadlocks, they are not adaptable. Approach adapter development as an iterative process consisting of both interface-level and protocol-level mismatch identification and resolution. Their approach starts from an initial set of interface matching, computed by matching the WSDL interfaces of services, and then, considering the protocol specifications of two services, identifies all the interactions that results in deadlocks. Some deadlock cases may be handled by going back to the interface matching step and refining the interface matching.

This will make you want to hug your children and count your blessings. Today in Boston, a year after becoming the first recipient of a full face transplant, Dallas Weins spoke to the media.
You remember, he was severely disfigured in 2008 when he came in contact with an active power line. Now doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital say he has regained his sense of smell and has sensation in his face. He remains blind with prosthetic eyes, and has some trouble with speech because he has no teeth.
Dallas told the media today that he is grateful to have resumed an almost "normal" life. "I am, as was one of my desires, able to feel my daughter's kisses now, which brought me to tears on more than one occasion."
Dallas said he is also grateful that his little girl tells him they can go in public now without people staring like they used to. There have only been four full face transplants performed in the United States, but doctors are hoping to help more patients as they learn more about the procedure.

Letters from Bikini bomb tests
AP Photo
A huge mushroom cloud from Test Shot 'Baker' rises above Bikini Atoll on July 25, 1946. The dark spots in the foreground are ships that were placed near the blast site to test what an atom bomb would do to a fleet of warships.
A fascinating piece by Keith Rogers in the Las Vegas Review-Journal provides some very personal looks at the 1946 Operation Crossroads in the Pacific. Linda Thornley shared some letters that her father, Ed B. Thornley, wrote to his grandparents that described the bomb tests, radiation concerns, etc.
It reminded of a piece I did a few years ago based on interviews with Ray Beatty, an atomic veteran from Clinton who took part in Operations Crossroads as a teen-age sailor.

The double murder of the Kaufman County District Attorney, Mark McLelland, and his wife, Cynthia, over the weekend is alarming to local law enforcement and the Travis County District Attorney's office.
All of its investigators are already on heightened alert. The 19 armed investigators protect 87 prosecutors. But the heightened alert status they are on is normal. The director of investigations says training is an ongoing process. There's even a training video that is available to employees of the Travis County DA's Office. Director of Investigations, Chief Dawn McLean, says the investigators, prosecutors, and staffers train quarterly
"We are fortunate to have investigators in place who are specifically trained in specialized areas, in dignitary protection, active shooter, firearms," McLean said.
She says the 19 armed investigators train quarterly, as do prosecutors and staffers. Chief McLean says they are always on a heightened alert status.
"This incident definitely makes us more aware and more alert but again we are currently more vigilant and we are constantly on alert but we cannot be paralyzed by fear," she said.
The murders caught Governor Rick Perry's attention Monday. The double homicide comes about two months after Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney, Mark Hasse, was gunned down.
"The Texas Rangers are assisting as is the federal counterparts. The Kaufman County Sheriff's department is the lead agency. Our prayers are with the family obviously," Perry said.
There's even House Bill 1845 that would make it a capital punishment for killing a prosecutor in retaliation.
Sgt. John Foster with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office says threats come with the job.
"I think everybody is on heightened alert from what has happened in Kaufman," he said.
"I've been threatened, people that I work with have been threatened, it's something we have to live with, it's part of our job. Be it a prosecutor or law enforcement officer, you're going to be threatened in this line of work," he said.
In a county known for its tough on crime stance, Sgt. Foster says the Williamson County courthouse is fully staffed.
The sheriff's office is nearby if extra officers are needed. If anything happens, protocols are followed.
It's the same for to the Travis County courthouse.
In Williamson County, off site security is up to each person, unless there's a request. In Travis County, if a prosecutor feels unsafe, they can request close patrol from Austin Police.

PeeWee's Spring Adventure 2011..! by PeeWees! - about 2 years ago
"This is our 'team' picture from one of our bachelor parties last year. We all love baseball, and instead of Vegas or some other standard bachelor party venue..we did Spring Training in Arizona! What better way to enjoy being on a baseball trip then doing a custom 3/4 sleeve shirt with custom logo! CustomInk is so easy to work with (both on line, and on the phone) I have recommended it to EVERYONE! This was actually my 3rd time using you guys, and am planning a golf shirt for another guys weekend soon..!"

The reality is...It is week 15 in the 2011 NFL season. The Dallas Cowboys have accumulated to this point 7 wins and 6 losses. We have blown 4th quarter leads in five of six losses, including each of the last two weeks. We have a QB who cant make the big play, a coach who cant get out of his own way, and the only kicker in the league who actually gets iced (doesnt matter by which team, either). Our Defense is atrocious, and our special teams always finds a way to negate anything good that we do. Even the new star running back is now out for the year.
If you happen to own one of those things called a "television", or maybe you possibly have one of them new high-tech "computers", you already know the season is over. ESPN and their professional cohorts have already lowered our dead dreams, deep into the ground. The pundits have picked up their shovels and started tossing dirt upon our season, as to finally bury the disgraced star. Once so full of promise and hope, our beloved team has faded into the darkness so rapidly, so abruptly, so shamefully...
Yet, as i sit here and peruse all the blatant negativity and pessimism raging on the interweb about Dallas nation these days, I am left with one simple question. One simple word, even.
Make the jump if you havent burned your jersey and ripped the fathead off the wall yet...
Thats right. Why? Why is the season over? Why the doom and gloom? Why do the Cowboys have a worse shot at making the playoffs than does Justin Tuck at actually looking good in boots if he wanted to? Its not time to write this team off, its time for us fans to man up and back them more fiercely and ferociously than we have all season.
Like I said, we're 7-6. But does everyone and their mother forget to remember that, at this point, it is good enough FIRST place in our division? Yup, first place. Sure, we don't see the star in that little box indicating who, if the season ended today, would make the playoffs. But holy short-term-memory-loss batman, we did last week! and the week before that! and even the week before that! This team has been competing for a playoff spot all year. Thats right, competing. They havent been dominating (as duly noted so graciously by all the afore-mentioned sources), but they have been right there all season long. Thrilling victories, crushing defeats, weve seen our fair share. But now, after only two losses, we are all ready to give up, kill the coach, burn the DC, and blow up the stadium.
Are we that entitled that anytime we have to fight for something we just shy away and wait for greatness to walk into the big, shiny doors at Jerry's World? I'm 22 years old. I don't remember the triplets, or the dynasty, or the doomsday D, and i definitely dont remember Staubach and Dorsett. But i do remember three straight years of 5-11. I remember the snap heard round the world vs. the Seahawks. I remember 44-6 vs. the Eagles. And i especially remember the Dallas Cowboys of 2010. The pitiful, disgraceful, disheartening Cowboys of 2010. That was a mere one year ago. Last year at this time it was full on draft season, dreams of sugarplum faeries being replaced by the fantasies of Patrick Peterson or Von Miller in a Cowboys uniform...(which still are nice thoughts, however unreasonable)
And now, one single year later, we are fighting for first place in our division. Yes, the losses have been excruciatingly painful. But the wins have been just as thrilling. Where people see an un-clutch quarterback, I see a man pouring his heart into the team and playing the best ball of his life. Where people want to see our coach's head on a spike outside the doors of Valley Ranch, I see a coach who in a little over a year has lost 8 games by a total of 27 points (excluding the Eagles from earlier 2011). Hes replaced a losing culture with a fighters mentality, all without an offseason to implement it. He has given us a chance to win (almost) every single game that the 'Boys have suited up for...Can you ask for more than that from your coach? Our kicker has already set the league record for game winning field goals by a rookie, and has narrowly missed extending that record by two in the last two weeks. The defense has struggled, but you cant say that Jenkins, Ratliff, Hatcher, Sensi, Norris (Lee) and company havent been fighting like Hell to stop it. Remember Jenkins shying away from the hit in Green Bay last year? Remember the D-Line being driven 4 yards back before the RB even got the ball? Those sights have been replaced with tenacity this year, even if the talent isnt always there to back it up.
So people, all I'm really saying is this: The reality is...We're still in it. We're fighting. Its time to buck up. Put on the jersey when you go to the bar this Saturday to watch the boys (even if you live upstate NY, as i do, surrounded by piggish and bigoted Giants fans). Have faith. The offseason will be here soon enough, why waste these last few weeks (hopefully more than three) of football planning for all the massive and irrational changes that you would bring to Arlington. Instead, enjoy the fight. Revel in it. Talk more trash than you did when we were on a 4 game winning streak. For others to truly fear the star, they must fear those who believe so fervently within that star. Stand up, and profess your love and belief in the FIRST PLACE COWBOYS.
Because who knows, three weeks from now, we might be in for a little holiday magic.

The Gang of 8 bill is 1986 all over again. Amnesty with empty promises to secure the border. Demand a secure border bit.ly/11nH5Ry—
Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 20, 2013
Unlike many in the GOP, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is willing to speak bluntly and honestly about the Gang of Eight's amnesty proposal.
Of course, he is absolutely right. It is 1986 all over again. And if the Gang of Eight bill passes, the low-wage-worker lobby will be pushing another amnesty proposal down our throats 20-25 years from now.
Twitter users welcomed Cruz's candid assessment:
@tedcruz it's a damn shame DC either doesn't want to or refuses to stop making the same mistakes—

Woodford U15's dominate Cheshunt to win 29 - 14 (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)

Woodford 29 v Cheshunt 14
Updated 2:23pm Tuesday 25th February 2014 in Sport By Charles Wallace
On a windy Sunday morning Woodford took on Cheshunt team from the Herts/Middlesex league; the game played on a surprisingly good surface at Woodford's Roding Lane pitch.
From the kick off the wind showed it was going to be issue as the kick off drifted into touch. From the scrum restart Woodford showed their intent with a powerful and sold drive from the front five of Mick Chamberlain, William Tindall, Callum Levy, Max Venditti and Euan Fay. Woodford took the initiative and moved the ball quickly down the back line brushing aside the opposition.
Further Woodford pressure led to the opening try as a cross field kick by Alex Marks was cleanly collected by Michael Batt on the wing. With still some work to do Batt burst through the defence to cross over the try line. The conditions were always likely to prove difficult for kicking and the conversion drifted beyond the posts, 5 – 0 to Woodford.
The time to strike back is just after a score and as Woodford concentration wandered Cheshunt took an opportunity to get into the Woodford half. A promising break was halted by solid tacking from Chamberlain and Fay.
The Woodford scrum was in form and dominated an opposition that had some big units but were under the cosh. Tindall continued his good hooking form securing clean ball for Woodford.
A number of promising positions were compromised as Woodford came up offside too often. The penalty count increased against the home team and Woodford had to adjust their approach and temper their enthusiasm.
The power of the pack saw Woodford drive to the line with the back row of Rhys Philips, William Curness and Jed West only to be thwarted by the goalpost.
The strong wind made handling difficult as Woodford were too ambitious and produced too many errors. Scrum half Tom Mead kept a steady stream of ball to the backs but the continued pressure by Woodford in the rucking and mauling could not be translated into points.
A switch to the wing by Will Carey nearly paid dividends but solid tackling by Cheshunt contained the threat. On the other wing AJ Hamilton had made a number of strong runs and he was rewarded by a move that saw him cross the line for the second try, which was converted by Marks, 12 - 0.
Woodford continued to dominate and the play rarely moved out of the Cheshunt 22. However, for all the possession Woodford were not clinical enough in the final move and opportunities were missed to add to the score.
As the half moved on Woodford continued to press and the rewards came with Will Curness finishing of an interchange of passes between himself and Dan Farrelly that moved the ball swiftly and aggressively to cross the line on the right wing. Marks converted, 19 - 0.
After the restart a jinking run by Haaris Sohoye saw him burst through the Cheshunt defence for another try to Woodford. The missed conversion saw the half come to an end with Woodford sitting on a comfortable lead, 24 - 0.
With a large squad available for selection Woodford made wholesale changes for the second half.
The Woodford dominance continued with the new look team working well together. A swift Woodford attack saw the backs pass well forcing the ball out to the wing to Tom Fitzpatrick. He was well tackled as he tried to go outside his man but made the ball available. Woodford retained possession and continued the forward motion. Victor Chujor took the ball again and his driving run saw an offload to Jamie Ali who scampered in for a try, 29 - 0.
Woodford were confident with the ball and were able to move it quickly with the new centre partnership of Matt Bastick and Tari Branson combining well. The Cheshunt defence was well organised and Woodford could not find many openings.
The pack kept up the Woodford dominance in that area with Taylor Wilkins, Kyle Murray and Zac Cannon never taking a step backwards, and securing some good strikes against the head to prove their dominance. Fillip Goralczyk, James Chance and Max Vendetti continued to make driving runs that probed the Cheshunt defence but were continually rebuffed by some good tackling. A burst by Zac Cannon along the line nearly saw the defence breached.
As the half progressed Cheshunt began to gain in confidence and the home team began to tire. However this brought out the solid defensive skills of Woodford, tackles by Andrew Whiting, Sean Moore, Batt and Bailey Francis saw them repulse the attackers.
However the game was now being played in the Woodford half and the tiring pack was beginning to be slow to the breakdown and gaps were appearing in the defensive line of the backs. Cheshunt saw a gap and crossed the line for a try, which was converted.
As time began to run out a quick ball from a Cheshunt ruck saw an overlap develop and the last action was for a try to the away team, which was converted.
Cheshunt provided a spirited side that was tenacious and was rewarded with two good tries but the overall game went to Woodford.

This is the theme of a symposium at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual conference in San Diego, California. And it's a topic that should not be taken lightly.
NSERC-funded researcher Dr. Simon Donner, an assistant professor in the department of geography at the University of British Columbia, will be talking about the vulnerability of coral reefs to climate change due to higher ocean temperatures.
Dr. Donner studies coral bleaching. Corals get most of their energy from microscopic algae that live in their tissue. These algae are colourful and are what gives corals their vivid hue. When environmental factors go out of the range that corals are used to (such as warming water), the symbiosis between the coral and the algae breaks down and corals effectively expel the algae and turn white. The coral is then deprived of its source of energy, and dies. Dr. Donner studies the frequency of coral bleaching events, their consequences and the link to unusually warm oceans. He says that mass coral bleaching events were thought to be extremely rare as far back as 30 years ago.
At the AAAS conference he will be talking about the predicted occurrence of bleaching events under different climate scenarios and, according to Dr. Donner, it doesn't look good.
"Even if we froze emissions today, the planet still has some warming left in it. That's enough to make bleaching dangerously frequent in reefs worldwide," he says.
Given the hundreds of millions of people living in the tropics who depend on coral reefs for food, income, tourism and shoreline protection, the loss of reefs is a serious issue.
"Obviously, there's an aesthetic concern because people see Finding Nemo and they're worried about what's going to happen to the world's coral reefs, but the key thing is that there are hundreds of millions of people who depend on them for their livelihood," says Dr. Donner.
However, the outlook isn't completely bleak. Dr. Donner says that no one is predicting that coral reefs will go extinct; they will continue to survive, but only in certain habitats, such as shaded areas. The reality is a general loss of coral cover and a breakdown of the physical structure of reefs.
In order to see what the future of reefs might be, Dr. Donner is pursuing fieldwork in the central equatorial Pacific, because the islands and reefs in that area are affected by repeated El Niño events. Because of this, they've experienced higher year-to-year temperature variability than other areas on the planet. Dr. Donner is studying the corals in these areas to understand how the reefs are biologically different, and how that has allowed them to persist through warm water events that would kill coral in other areas of the planet.
"It's a natural model for the future," he says.

MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - One of the last drive-in theaters in South Dakota is shuttering its doors.
The Starlite Drive-in in Mitchell is closing at the end of the season.
Owner Jeff Logan says he is forced to shut down the theater because of the industry's conversion to digital projection. Studios have said they expect to stop releasing movies on film around the end of the year.
Logan says converting to digital costs about $70,000 per screen and has higher operating costs.
He says it does not make good business sense to invest that money into the drive-in because the season is too short in South Dakota.
The Starlite was built in 1949. Logan purchased it in 1976. He closed it in 1986 but re-opened it in 1993.

Title: Debating the Death Penalty: Should America Have Capital Punishment?: The Experts on Both Sides Make Their Best Case
Author: edited by Hugo Adam Bedau and Paul Cassell
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Allows death penalty advocates and opponents to make their cases in their own words
Includes personal as well as academic perspectives from sitting judges
Not all the essays are of the same caliber and quality
Eight essays debating the death penalty: four in favor and four against
Explores a number of issues relating to capital punishment: morality, revenge, deterrence, etc.
Provides a good overview of various arguments for an against
Book Review
The debate about capital punishment is still very much alive: is it just? Is it appropriate? Is it moral? Is it even effective? No one has quite managed to offer a perfect, knock-down argument for either side, though it is interesting that the death penalty has been eliminated in just about every industrialized nation except for the United States.
It is in America that the debate over capital punishment is most active, most vociferous, and most emotional. Into this maelstrom step Hugo Adam Bedau and Paul Cassell with their book Debating the Death Penalty: Should America Have Capital Punishment? Bedau, Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, at Tufts University and Cassell, a U.S. District Court Judge, bring together eight essays (including one from each of them) for and against capital punishment. Contributors include philosophers, lawyers, and sitting judges.
Personally I have been growing inclined against capital punishment over the years. For the average theist, imposing the penalty of death can be made to seem less horrible by the fact that it only terminates the body, not the soul. Damnation, not death, is the ultimate penalty - and that would be imposed by God, not the state. Indeed, having to face the death penalty may be the path which leads the condemned person to salvation.
This perspective is not something which I am simply making up - it has, in fact, constituted an important facet of the defense of capital punishment for a long time. It cannot, however, serve as a defense by secular courts of secular people. Perhaps the most famous explication of this position was made by Albert Camus:
- "When an atheist or skeptical or agnostic judge inflicts the death penalty on an unbelieving criminal, he is pronouncing a definitive judgment that cannot be reconsidered. He takes his place on the throne of God, without having the same powers and even without believing in God. He kills, in short, because his ancestors believed in eternal life."
A religious person who uses capital punishment does not thereby judge that the condemned person is irredeemable. The atheist who uses capital punishment, however, does make such a determination - eliminating someone's presence on Earth is effectively the same as stating that rehabilitation and redemption are impossible or just undesirable. But what atheist is competent enough to make such a judgment?

I could have purchased a Glock 19, or 23
I could have purchased a pair of Ruger 10/22's
I could have purchased 10 bricks of .22 ammo (wish it weren't so high these days)
I could have purchased most any handgun, or put a real dent in most any handgun or rifle.
No, I did not order a gun, better
I purchased a Lifetime membership in Gun Owners Of America.
GOA is another lobbying group, one Ron Paul seems to recommend.
I joined, not because of Dr. Paul, but because my liberties are being taken away.
I have a sizeable gun collection, that took me many years to accumulate, and I will be damned if some low life politician is going to take them away from me without a fight , proper fight, with attorneys, on the steps of Washington. I have been a Life Member at NRA for a long time, and I support what they do. However, now is the time, to put a weapon in both hands. I just did so by also getting a life membership at GOA.
It is $500 or as little as $50 a quarter. Pretty affordable, and a lot better than the alternative. http://www.gunowners.org/

Remember, it was one day, they were talking about a stimulus package, to get the economy rolling, and the next thing we know, it passed, without anyone reading anything, and the bankers gobbled up all the money to never be seen again. Same way with the Patriot Act.
My fear, is one day we open Drudge Report, and we see we have 72 hours to turn them all in.

- 6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 2 packages quick acting or active dry yeast
- 2 1/4 cups scalded milk cooled to about 110°
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead, adding more flour as necessary to keep it from sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place dough in a large buttered mixing bowl. Turn dough over so greased side is up. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place, out of drafts, for about 1 hour, or until doubled. When dough is touched, an indentation will remain.
Punch dough down and divide into two equal portions. Flatten each half with hands or rolling pins into a rectangle about 18x10 inches. Starting at 10-inch edge, roll dough tightly; pinch long seam together. With sides of hands, press each end of loaf; fold ends under loaf. Place loaves, seam side down, in loaf pans (approximately 9 x 5 x 3-inch). Brush each loaf lightly with butter. Cover loosely with clean dish towels and let rise until double, about 35 to 50 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°. Bake loaves on a low rack, so tops of pans are at the center of the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bread will sound hollow when lightly tapped.
Makes 2 loaves.

Vice President, Strategic Technology Alliances, EMC Corporation
EMC and Cisco's success in helping customers transform their IT has evolved over the 11 year partnership by understanding joint customers' preferences for choice and flexibility to build out their Cloud infrastructure. These factors are particularly important because as the overall IT landscape evolves, companies need to be able to design their infrastructure to meet their unique use case without being locked into a single way of moving forward.
Recognizing that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for cloud infrastructure, EMC, Cisco, and VCE came together and developed the Three Paths to the Cloud strategy, which offers a spectrum of choice for implementation.
Over the past two years, we've worked together to deliver simplicity and speed in deploying cloud infrastructure across these three paths – but in the past few months, the Three Paths have evolved to drive simplicity further up the technology stack – to management and the application workloads that the infrastructure powers.
Let's take a look at some of the recent developments in each of the paths to the cloud.
For Build Your Own: We recently developed the EMC Enterprise Private Cloud solution that integrates the best of breed EMC and VMware products, with Cisco UCS. This empowers our customers to accelerate the implementation and adoption of private cloud while still enabling customer choice for the compute and networking infrastructure within the data center and will become the foundation for enabling IaaS.
For VSPEX: We have introduced VSPEX solutions with Cisco to virtualize your data centers, run your mission-critical applications such Microsoft SharePoint on VSPEX, and deploy virtual desktop infrastructure. These solutions make it simple to deploy workloads on your terms – and the numbers back it up: Gartner recently named VSPEX the industry's #1 Integrated Reference Architecture System. We are also automating VSPEX – powered by Cisco UCS Director Solution for VSPEX - Microsoft System Center or VMware vCloud Suite the new VSPEX solutions for Infrastructure-as-a-Service dramatically simplify the process of provisioning application infrastructure by empowering users to do it themselves via self-service portals.
For Vblock: With VCE Vblock™ Systems already being the world's most advanced converged infrastructure, the VCE team has gone a step further and developed Vblock Specialized Systems that are optimized with pre-installed core enterprise workloads. VCE has launched three specialized systems; Vblock Specialized System for high performance databases, Vblock Specialized System SAP HANA, and Vblock Specialized Systems Extreme Applications.
Are we making the right moves? Gartner says so, as VSPEX is ranked #1 for Integrated Reference Architecture Systems, and VCE Vblock Systems is ranked #1 for Integrated Infrastructure Systems.
All of this is done in partnership with Cisco – why? Because it is what the customer wants – simplicity in their infrastructure – simplicity in the management of that infrastructure and, simplicity in the application workloads.
EMC and Cisco Cloud Infrastructure solutions enable our clients to increase agility, improve operational efficiency and to provide more cost effective service delivery to their constituents.
We will continue to deliver innovative world-class technology solutions with Cisco and VCE that will help our customers transform their IT.

I recently had to buy a new cell phone, and believe it or not, I'd rank buying a new cell phone down there with car and mattress shopping. After much deliberation, I finally decided to buy a smartphone. After narrowing it down to a smartphone, I then had to decide – iPhone or Droid? Decisions, decisions. Well, after even more "research" (polling friends, Facebook inquires, etc.), I bought a Razr. Well, now what? What do I do with this so called smartphone – download some apps? Everyone talks about all their favorite apps – it seems there is an app for everything, from couponing to games to education to weight loss. But where does one start? After reading a recent article about "Today's Best Apps," (http://mashable.com/2012/09/08/best-apps/) the world of apps is still a black hole to me. So, what are some of your favorite apps that you can't live without?
And some big news, the official YouTube app for iPhone was introduced: http://socialtimes.com/official-youtube-app-iphone_b104534

Two separate recipes that happen to go together very well. The salsa, when made without peppers, is a cool companion to the spicy fish yet it still packs enough flavor that it doesn't get lost in the commotion. You can always spice it up a bit by adding a diced jalapeno or two.
The fish is easy and tasty. I used tilapia not only because it's a nice, flaky mild fish but it's sustainable and readily available. You can use any white fish you like. Grouper or mahi-mahi would work well. The seasoning is easy to mix up on your own but you can do what I've done many times in the past and purchase a Chef Paul blend. I didn't have any in the pantry and mixing my own was easier than going to the store.
Since I live in a house half full of seafood-haters we cooked up a batch of blackened chicken too. Served up alongside Havarti Grits and Sauteed Okra, it was a pretty simple meal that didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would.
- Grape Tomatoes, about a cup and a half
- Frozen Corn Kernels, about a cup, thawed
- Red Onion, about 1/4 cup, minced
- Garlic, 2 cloves, minced
- Avocado, 1, diced
- Cilantro, 1/4 cup, snipped
- Lime, 1, zested and juiced
- Olive Oil, 1 tablespoon
- Salt/Pepper
Quarter the tomatoes. Mince the onion and garlic. Dice the avocado. Zest the lime. Thaw the corn. Snip the cilantro.
Combine the tomato, corn, onion, garlic, cilantro and zest in a large bowl. Add a little salt and pepper along with a dash of olive oil. Squeeze the lime over the mix and stir it up.
I added the avocado separately because it was VERY ripe and I didn't want to over stir and turn it to mush. Gently mix it together and set it aside until it's time to eat.
Blackened Tilapia (or Chicken)
- Tilapia (or chicken or your favorite fish)
- Cayenne, 1 teaspoon
- Black Pepper, 1 teaspoon
- Salt, 1/2 teaspoon
- Garlic Powder, 1/2 teaspoon
- Onion Powder, 1/2 teaspoon
- Thyme, 1 teaspoon
- Oregano, 1/2 teaspoon
- Butter, 3 or 4 tablespoons
Combine all the spices in a small bowl.
Taste test and adjust it all to your liking. Melt the butter in a flattish bowl.
Drag the fish through the melted butter and sprinkle generously with the seasoning mixture. Rub it in a little so it sticks.
We used the griddle here because we had a lot to cook and because my son, who cooks in a restaurant, really likes his flat top grill. I don't blame him. Anyway, heat the pan over medium-high with just a little oil or butter. Cook the fish on one side until you see the white line moving up just over halfway through the thickness of the filets.
Turn them over and cook until they're done all the way through. The whole thing only took about ten minutes but it'll depend on the thickness of your fish. Chicken will take longer.
Serve it up immediately with the salsa on the side. Enjoy!
