May 16 is Endangered
Species Day and there are local efforts on place to help save animals all over
the world. Animals are becoming extinct
at an alarming rate, according to experts.
Reid Park Zoo and the
community are coming together to help do their part to conserve these
This weekend the zoo is
inviting people to come out and learn about problems, which according to experts,
are contributing to the animals extinction, like climate change, deforestation
and water pollution. Something else zoo
officials say is affecting endangered species is palm oil. According to workers the way it is harvested
is affecting wild animals and putting them in danger.
Volunteers are setting up
keeper chat presentations on Sunday, May 18 and are talking about some of the
animals most endangered including the African elephant and the Malayan tiger,
both residents of the zoo.
According to officials
with Reid Park Zoo, one of their main goals is conservation, and having the
community help is a big part of that.
Zoo teen volunteers have raised
thousands of dollars for conservation projects, not just locally but
internationally as well.
The Endangered Species
event is happening May 18 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Reid Park Zoo.

the zoo and its hours go online to http://reidparkzoo.org/

3 Rec's earns a front page bump today, besides...I need a little reminder now and again that we are a basketball school. Good stuff KC. - Denver
Can you tell which one is which? Honestly, and without cheating. Try and do it. Be sure and leave your best guess in the comments. You've got a 50/50 shot at worst to get it right.
I know that I wouldn't "know" which one was which without just throwing a dart at the dartboard in the dark and maybe coming up right. There's really no way one could. That is a distinction to be known by a mother, and a mother only. Thankfully, the rules state they must wear different jersey numbers, so differentiating the two in-game isn't as difficult. Of course, they choose numbers back to back of each other, so that we can only tell the difference at a certain angle and from one side. They also tried a "twin with sleeves, twin with no sleeves" strategy last year. It worked pretty well, but really, who wears sleeves in major college basketball anymore? (Brady, I'm looking at you.)
Easily, the most repetitive storyline this season for television announcers has been/ will continue to be The Twins' meteoric leap from typical freshman "stock markets" to key sophomore contributors. They have been another feather in the cap to the old coaching adage, "a player improves most in college from the end of his freshman year to the beginning of his sophomore year." (Too bad Tyshawn seems to have that one backwards - I kid, I kid.) Now, looking back at that last statement about The Twins in hindsight, is really the problem that we Kansas fans have with the two of them. Marcus Morris and Markieff Morris are always referred to as "they" or "them" as a third person-plural. You can rarely ever tell which one just dunked, let alone recall which one is currently riding a three game hot streak.
Hence the point of this post. This will be my own personal attempt to separate and decipher the two - in a strictly basketball way, because let's face it; we, as fans, are never figuring out which is which by looking at them.
I think it's safe to say that it is a rather commonly known fact that Marcus is the slightly more advanced, better of the two players. But, by how much? Was it more drastic last year than this year? Has Markieef closed the gap?
(Ignore the last 25 point game for Marcus on game #36, which didn't exist. It was the only way to get this graph to extend to the same height as the one for this season, due to lower career high in points.)
If nothing else, looking at those two graphs on the screen together goes to show just how much each has improved - Marcus, especially. Through a 35 game freshman season, Marcus had 13 points or more five times, with a season high of only 15. Through 13 games this year, he has matched that total of five games with 13 points or more, but doing so with outputs of 19 and 23, respectively in two games.
A funky trend regarding Markieff: Last year, Markieff's best scoring games all came in games where Marcus had an equally, or better, good game, too. Did/does Markieff feed off Marcus and score more freely when his brother does? Is it vice versa? Why are these two so confusing? They are an enigma to, not only each other, but to fans that wish to figure them out. Or, was it simply that Coach Self was still trying to figure out how to use each and decide on playing time with wavering results? A bit. Markieff played 578 minutes last year, scoring 162 points, for an average of .28 points per minute. Marcus played 646 minutes (about two minutes more per game), scoring 258 points, for an average of .40 points per minute. Marcus made more of the minutes he was given on average, while Markieff had some of his highest outputs in games where he spent less amount of time on the court in said game. Still, they are tough to figure out. Maybe rebounds will make some sense of them.
(Once again, ignore the high last one for Marcus in game #14, which has yet to occur, due to the career high for the two actually coming last year - in the very first game, nonetheless.)
So, what does that tell us? Not much, other than that they are each more consistently in the eight to twelve range this year, opposed to the three to seven range of last year. And, when you think about that, that is rather remarkable. There are only so many rebounds to go around in a game, right? And, last year, they were probably actually needed to rebound more so than this, due to the lack of anybody besides Cole to clean up the boards. With the addition of Xavier this year, Thomas Robinson and and even better Cole, they are actually stepping up the amount of rebounds they are grabbing, even with more competition (OK, it's not really a competition amongst the guys in the same uniforms) from their teammates. Impressive.
Nothing really noticable regarding rebound ratios to one another. Markieff has the career high of the two, with 15 against (drumroll, please...) the UMKC Kangaroos last year. Marcus then established himself as the better rebounder for the next eight games. Then, Markieff was a bit better, and quite a bit better on occasion, about ever other game or every two games for the rest of the season. This year, Marcus has had the higher of the highs, but also the lower of the lows, in general.
After Markieff eventually came back down from his stratospherical start to the season where he missed one shot in the first five games, they have even come to within five percent of each other in field goal percentage - due to Marcus shooting well of late, and Markieff losing the NBA Jam fireball everytime he shoots. Neither still shoots free throws all that well. Although, Marcus has improved a bit upon last year's dreadful totals. If a twin makes a free throw, you can guess without looking that there is a 55 percent chance that it is Marcus, as opposed to Markieff. One thing Markieff was better at last year than his brother, and is once again this year, is blocking shots - something done in less minutes, with a higher block per game average. Markieff is probably a bit more decisive and stays within himself than Marcus, if you look at number of three point shots taken and percent made. Markieff has taken only six this year, making four (66 percent). Marcus has put up thirteen-three pointers this year, making the same amount as his brother (30 percent).
Is there really any way to differ which is which based on numbers? Only slightly, as demonstrated. So, for now, until I can think of another way to break the two apart into to separate pieces, continue to call them "The Morri," which is one of the greatest nicknames ever, by the way. They will continue to have their stats kept as a combined total by television announcers, citing "their production" as just yet another cog in the machine that is Operation 40-0 (TM) on the way to their top of the ladder in Indianapolis in April.
By the way, the two have combined for a "heavenly" total of 666 points in their 1+ seasons as Jayhawks. Only 2,285 more and they will have passed Danny Manning as Kansas' all-time leading scorer(s). Hey, we might as well give it to them if they reach it. They will always be synonymous with each other, and the best thing is that they are more than delighted for it to be that way.

If you're a hunter you know all about how long it can take to get your license. You have to wait in line, fill out paper work, and that can kill a couple hours of your day.
There is a much quicker way if you have the internet.
Chris Swift admits he's more at home outside than in front of a computer, which makes sense since he's a game warden, but he's going to take us through the steps of having your hunting license delivered to your door.
"The website's going to be www.tpwd.state.tx.us," Chris said.
Click on buy online, read the agreement and continue. Pick your category: Other, never done this, or are in the system like Chris.
"Then we're going to fill out the first page; name, date of birth, social security number or driver's license, things like that," Chris explained.
A customer number is generated, but if you think you can just buy your license now, well you can't no matter how many times you try. With some help, we found you have to click on "Modify License Profile", go to the next page, at the bottom click "modify profile", and then you can enter additional information.
I guess a good hunter will track down the right page.
Then you choose your type of license and "continue" to select license year.
"You want to select next year. You don't want to hit this year or you'll only have a license for two days," Chris advised.
Texas Parks and Wildlife year starts September 1. Continuing, you select the type of license, and then hit "OK". Next page, click hunt and get your HIP certification (which is telling how much game you got last year), and any other licenses you need. Next, tell big brother about your big game, and enter how many duck stamps you want.
That's it, other than the credit card thing. You will have to leave your house to go hunting. You can't do that on the internet just yet.
Your receipt is delivered to your email and printable, but the actual license will be in the mail.

The Tallahassee O Would Like To Thank All The Brave Men and Women Involved In The Civil Rights Movement.
The Plot From Wikipedia
In 2009, an elderly Cecil Gaines recounts his life story, while waiting in the White House. Gaines was raised on a cotton plantation in the 1920s Macon, Georgia, by his sharecropping parents. One day, the farm's owner, Thomas Westfall, rapes Cecil's mother, Hattie Pearl. Cecil's father confronts Westfall, and is shot dead. Cecil is taken in by Annabeth Westfall, the estate's caretaker, who says, "he's going to be a 'House Nigger' now" and trains Cecil as a house servant.
In his teens, he leaves the plantation and his mother, who has been mute since the incident. One night, Cecil breaks into a hotel pastry shop and is, unexpectedly, hired. He learns advanced skills from the master servant, Maynard, who, after several years, recommends Cecil for a position in a Washington D.C. hotel. While working at the D.C. hotel, Cecil meets and marries Gloria, and the couple have two children: Louis and Charlie. In 1957, Cecil is hired by the White House during Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration. White House maître d' Freddie Fallows shows Cecil around, introducing him to head butler Carter Wilson and co-worker James Holloway. At the White House, Cecil witnesses Eisenhower's reluctance to use troops to enforce school desegregation in the South, then the President's resolve to uphold the law by racially integrating a high school in Little Rock.
The Gaines family celebrates Cecil's new occupation with their closest friends and neighbors, Howard and Gina. Louis, the eldest son, becomes a first generation university student at Fisk University in Tennessee, although Cecil feels that the South is too volatile; he wanted Louis to enroll at Howard University instead. Louis joins a student program led by James Lawson, to peacefully engage in a sit-in at a segregated diner; he is arrested. Furious, Cecil confronts Louis for disobeying him. Gloria, suffering from her husband's long working hours, descends into alcoholism and has an affair with the Gaineses' neighbor, Howard.
In 1961, after John F. Kennedy's election, Louis and a dozen others are attacked by the Ku Klux Klan while traveling on a bus in Alabama. Kennedy delivers a national address proposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Several months after the speech, Kennedy is assassinated. His successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, enacts the transformative legislation into law. As a goodwill gesture, Jackie Kennedy gives Cecil one of the former president's neckties before she leaves the White House.
In the late 1960s, after civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, Louis visits and tells his family that he has joined the radical organization called the Black Panthers. Aware of Richard Nixon's plans to suppress the movement and upset at his son's actions, Cecil orders Louis and his girlfriend, Carol, to leave his house. Louis is soon arrested and is bailed out by Carter Wilson.
The Gaineses' other son, Charlie, confides to Louis that he plans to join the Army in the war in Vietnam, to which Louis announces that he won't attend Charlie's funeral if he is killed there. A few months later, the Gaines family hold a funeral for Charlie, which Louis does not attend; his father is furious. However, when the Black Panthers begin to use violence in response to racial confrontations, Louis leaves the organization and returns to college, earning his master's degree in political science and eventually running for a seat in Congress.
Meanwhile, Cecil's professional reputation has grown to the point that in the 1980s, he and his wife are invited by Ronald and Nancy Reagan as guests at a state dinner. Cecil sees that the invitation is just for show, as Reagan plans to veto Congressional sanctions against South Africa. Cecil announces his resignation to the President, but not before gaining Reagan's support in his years-long effort to have the black White House staff receive the same rate of salary and career opportunities as their white counterparts.
Gloria, wanting Cecil to mend his estranged relationship with Louis, reveals to him that Louis told her that he loved and respected them both. Realizing his son's actions are heroic rather than antagonistic, Cecil joins Louis in a protest against South African apartheid.
The film then advances to Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, where an elderly Gloria dies shortly before Obama is elected as the nation's first African-American president, a milestone which leaves Cecil and Louis in awe. The film ends with Cecil preparing to meet the inaugurated president in the White House.

Holding parents responsible and accountable
AS the summer holidays draw nigh, we note the campaign by the National Council on Drug Abuse against consumption of alcohol by underage youth.
The issue is not new. Many Jamaicans now in the evening of their days can easily recall as youngsters yielding to the temptations of alcohol and other drugs.
However, anecdotal and statistical evidence suggests that the problem is getting worse. We are told that findings from the National School Survey (2006) show an eight per cent increase in alcohol use by adolescents over the last 20 years.
We should all, by now, be aware that alcohol abuse and its twin, cigarette smoking, can have serious negative consequences for health. Alcohol abuse negates good judgement, triggering motor vehicle and other accidents, as well as other long-term social difficulties such as unwanted pregnancies.
Especially for the very impressionable young, alcohol and cigarettes can serve as the 'gateway' to the use of hard drugs.
A large part of the problem is the happy-golucky, free-for-all mentality that prevails at all levels of Jamaican society. So while the law dictates that children under 18 years old should not be consuming alcohol, far too many bar and club operators make no special effort to ensure that obviously young people are required to show proof of age.
And while in many communities — mainly rural — responsible police officers strive to ensure that the law is followed and that children are protected, that's all too often not a priority for crime fighters stressed with more serious infractions of the law.
Obviously, those who sell alcohol should be made to take greater responsibility in ensuring that children do not access their establishments and organised events; and the police should enforce the law.
But it seems to this newspaper that of even more importance is the need for parents to protect their children. As we understand it, children under 18 years are minors and as such are the responsibility of their parents.
We are aware that far too many parents are themselves immature adults, often unthinking as regards their responsibilities. Sadly, some bore children as adolescents — 'children having children'.
Note the comment of Counselling Psychologist Ann Richards: "Parents do not have any form of parental training, as the saying goes. A number of persons will be trained in various fields, but how many parents are actually trained for the job of parenting?
"Some of the parents are really young as well and wind up attending the same functions as their children."
Parental training is an aspect that is increasingly part of the service being offered by social/welfare organisations, both public and private. This newspaper is aware, for example, that Northern Caribbean University has incorporated parental training as part of its highly successful Community Counselling and Restorative Justice Centre programme. Clearly that's a direction that the country needs to take as it strives to better protect its children and also reduce an unsustainably high birth rate.
But also, we feel parents at all levels of society need to be reminded that their children are first and foremost their responsibility. If a child ends up drunk, it seems to us a parent/guardian should be held liable under the law.

Oh, no! Faceless foreign imitators are NOT doing metal the way it's supposed to be done. What EVER will we do? Fear not, fellow metalheads, for Children of Bodom are back, and they're stronger and more irresistable than ever. And guess what? They brought audible keyboards this time around! I, for one, after listening to this album, couldn't see "Are You Dead Yet?" being without the keyboard solos, some of which are just immaculate. I'm not saying that it's anything groundbreaking, but this album is pushing the limits of its particular sub-genre. Don't get me wrong now, it's still heavy, very heavy indeed, but it would be tough to clasify this disc as merely thrash or melodic-death. The band's lead vocalist/guitarist, Alexi Laiho, has a much bigger job this time around, for former lead guitarist, Alexander Kuoppala, is no longer with the band. However, as we've come to expect from him in the past, Alexi again delivers, helping Children of Bodom produce, yet again, a near-masterpiece. I will now highlight my favorites :
2. Are You Dead Yet – The title track is almost bass-driven, which is a positive for me. It is also chock-full of floor-rattling howls by Alexi.
3. If You Want Peace … Prepare For War – Can you say solos? If you can't, this track sure can. Hell, I wouldn't even mind if there weren't vocals in this song.
5. In Your Face – Yes, I know, it may seem a little forced. I thought so too when I first listen to it, but it soon became my favorite on the record.
10. Somebody Put Something In My Drink – A remake of the Ramone's classic, this song is a great closer for me, actually, it'd fit just right anywhere in the album. Nice guitar solo mid-way, followed by a cool modulation.
Please, don't let the 3 1/2 star average rating monopolize your thoughts. Just listen to this CD, and headbang until you're reaching for that Advil. Thank you for your time.

Lee County-- The same group who studied whether Albany and Dougherty County should consolidate will now look at possible consolidation of emergency services in Lee County.
Tuesday night, county commissioners voted to hire the Carl Vinson Institute of Government to study the possibility of cross-training fire and EMS workers. The institute will review the pros and cons of combining the departments.
The study will cost $15,800 and will come from the Fire Department budget. It should be complete by December.
Also at the meeting, commissioners decided that two part-time Lee County workers will now have the same benefits as full-time employees in the county.
County commissioners cut health insurance benefits for part-time employees from this year's budget. Two weeks ago, Indigent Defense Attorney Patrick Eidson and County Prosecutor Hugh Morris both appealed to commissioners to re-instate their benefits. They say insurance coverage was part of the appeal of the job.
Commissioner Dennis Roland said those benefits were not advertised with the jobs but commissioners did vote to give the benefits back.

The effect of non-impact resistance exercises on patients with diabetic neuropathy: Acute responses and long-term adaptations
- Alejandro Meana-Esteban
- Prof. Patricia Price (Wound Healing Research Unit, School of Medicine, Cardiff University)
- Prof. Keith Harding (Wound Healing Research Unit, School of Medicine, Cardiff University)
- Dr Robert van Deursen
Foot ulceration in patients with diabetic neuropathy is a major health problem, often leading to further complications. The loss of protective sensation secondary to neuropathy is considered an important factor for ulcer occurrance in this population However neuropathy by itself is not the only factor responsible for ulceration; other abnormalities associated with this condition such as peak plantar pressures and impairments in micro-circulation have also been reported to play a crucial role.
Studies with diabetic patients have demonstrated that physical training improves the cardiovascular risk profile in this population reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in this population. However the role physical activity may have in both enhancing microcirculation and reducing foot pressures when walking is still far from clear. In addition to that physical activity guidelines for peripheral neuropathic populations are based on evidence from studies with non-neuropathic diabetic people whereas no attempt has been made to demonstrate the positive effect of exercise training on this neuropathic population. In order to avoid the potential, serious consequences of peripheral neuropathy, impact-activities such as walking and jogging should be excluded from the exercise recommendations.
Therefore, this study aims to determine to what extend low impact activities have a positive effect on foot pressures and microcirculation in patients with peripheral neuropathy within a context of a long-term aerobic training programme.
Range of motion of the lower limbs using goniometers, muscular microcirculation using Near Infra-Red Spectrometry, plantar pressures using the pressure mat system and strength of the knee extensors, knee flexors, ankle dorsiflexors and ankle plantarflexors are assessed before and after the intervention.

A new study from the Institute for Higher Education Policy shows that prison inmates have extremely limited access to online classes. Online learning can be a cost effective way for correctional facilities to educate students and reduce recidivism rates (according to the study 7 out of 10 prisoners that don't have access to education are likely to return to prison within 3 years of release). However, researchers found that only 2 of the 43 states they studied offered some form of online education.
Authors of the study provided these three suggestions for prisoner education:
- "To address capacity challenges that limit access to postsecondary education in prisons, federal and state statutes and regulations should be revised to support the development and expansion of Internet-based delivery of such education.
- To increase educational attainment, support economic development, and make efficient use of limited public funding, postsecondary correctional education programs should be closely aligned with state postsecondary education systems and local workforce needs.
- To support increased access to postsecondary education in prisons, federal and state statutes should be amended to make specific categories of incarcerated persons eligible for need-based financial aid."
Access to online education in prison does pose some unique challenges. Internet access, for example, must be closely monitored in many cases. However, online learning can give inmates the opportunity to educate themselves while they don't have access to traditional schools. Although critics contend that inmates should not be given the privilege of financial aid for online learning, the government ends up paying much more when uneducated prisoners return to lock up again and again.

Without having any real connections to correctional services it does seem to me that if inmates can improve their education it offers the possibility of personal development and different choices in life to the ones that led them to crime in the first place. Of course it depends on the individual in every case someone leaving prison better educated than when they went in would have a higher probability of remaining law abiding if that is what they choose to do.
- May 16, 2011 at 3:44 pm(2) DM says:
I believe education of individuals wanting to improve themselves is alot cheaper than incarceration.
- May 16, 2011 at 4:55 pm(3) Larry Baruch says:
Although the above article reports on the American anti-recidivist pro-education campaign, I can offer a comment from a UK point of view. Whilst serving a seven year sentence at Her Majesty's Pleasure, I began my Open University studies. I successfully passed Technology 101, Sociology 101 and recently, Upper Intermediate French L211 – I'm now half-way to my BA degree. The greatest benefit, that many independent studies fail to appreciate, is the self-esteem these courses impart to the student. Leaving prison, as an institutionalised ex-con, your return to the same institution is guaranteed but with a little self-confidence, self-esteem and self-accomplishment, you are able to look towards a 'normal' life. The OU, dragged me out of the rut and I'm now a successful teacher/trainer myself and have never been more content with my life. Prison, to me now, was an experience in human-nature, I could've done without but from which I've gained immeasurable benefit, as a part of my 'colourful' past but my 'brighter' future has more appeal. Education in prison may not work for every inmate but, from personal experience, I can assure you, in the majority of cases, the benefits to society more than outweigh the small cost of supplying the education.
- May 16, 2011 at 10:23 pm(4) Jo says:
I agree with online learning…I do, though think that education of the incarcerated should suit the person's abilities and be sure to enhance their personal self and gifts to society rather than give them more education in the wrong path that might lead them to misuse the wrong education according to their mental and physical abilities and outlook for what reasons they choose their education…..people are always in the path of going in the wrong without guidance and spiritual growth as well…From knowing certain people who have been in prison their education was geared to a profession that wouldn't allow felons since it was financial…they also had criminal bright mentality and could do things like identity theft and immediately tried to get a position in accounting until the felony was discovered…the felony wasn't in money but in violence of which ran in this person's family…all in all – even a bright mind can go toward doing bright bad things…given the wrong education…So yes, I love education for everyone – but our education should include personal growth and development in mental and social ways that don't include coming out and bullying on the job or using prison type of environment social structure of which I've seen as well…I had the unpleasant experience of having to work around a woman who had been in prison who had a tough street type of mentality and brought the harsh prison environment on the job to try to bully and harrass others and lie about them causing strife and problems….Prisons should attempt to eliminate thisl type of social structure that exists in prisons and make sure that anyone who is on the job after prison isn't being deceptive to the bosses and being bad to other employees when no one is looking….this starts in school and goes beyond and into the street drug culture …Less chance of bullying others is ONE of the GOOD reasons to let inmates learn online -
- May 20, 2011 at 2:17 am(5) Karen Simons says:
Of course, prisioners should have access to online learning. It is morally imperative that everyone in prison who wants to learn have access to school. In today's world, programs that would limit access to all other sites cannot be that difficult to write.
Have recently watched the TV special, "Beyond Scared Straight" regarding program where teens whose behavior has them on fact track to prison, are taken to prison to experience what it is really like…and talk to some who are in for their entire lives. Well worth watching.
Even if some prisioners have no chance of getting out, learning, reading, writing, etc. could still be valuable in reducing stress, and getting prisoners involved in programs like the above-mentioned program.
The cost couldn't be all that significant in light of what lots of security officers cost the state!

Smarthome Deal – Discreetly Capture Video Day or Night from a Seemingly Ordinary Upscale Wristwatch
Save $20 off the original price!!
Discreetly capture high-definition video or snap a picture at a moments notice with the Lenzburg™ Wristwatch with HD IR Camcorder. To a regular person this wristwatch will appear to be a standard, yet elegant, analog watch featuring a genuine leather band with waterproof design. This watch, however, is anything but standard. At the base of the watch face is a pinhole camera that will appear invisible to the naked eye and right next to it is an infrared ray. When activated the pinhole camera will take crystal clear 1080p HD video and store it on the watch's built-in 8GB flash memory. The camera can record roughly 15 minutes of video per GB of free space available. To ensure there is always plenty of available recording space, video can be transferred from the flash memory to a computer via a USB connection (cable included). The purpose of the infrared ray next to the pinhole camera is to allow for recording in the dark. If turned on, the infrared ray will illuminate the scene in front of the camera but because it is IR the light won't be visible to you or anyone that is being captured on camera. With IR activated the camera's recording time is about 50 minutes compared to about 90 minutes if only the camera is in use. The camera's battery can be recharged either through a USB connection or AC charger (adaptor included). The Lenzburg Wristwatch also has a 12MP digital camera for taking still photos and can also function as a webcam by installing the included webcam software. No drivers will need to be installed for Windows ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and higher, or MAC OS 9.2.2 and higher operating systems.
AC Adaptor with Hidden Camera Records Video Continuously or when Motion is Detected
Covertly keep tabs on your home or office with an AC Adapter Hidden Camera from KJB Security. This covert spy camera located in the tip of the cord connects to a traditional-looking AC charger adapter giving the appearance of a typical charger to others. The camera records with a resolution of 640×480 pixels. There are two video recording options available, continuous recording and motion activated recording which will only activate the camera when the PIR sensor detects motion. Video is stored on a 4GB SD card (included) and can be expanded up to a 32GB SD card, sold separately, if more memory is required. The AC Adapter Camera's is powered by a 2-prong AC outlet just like a traditional adaptor. When charging a green LED indicator light will illuminate to let you know the battery is charging and when a full charge is reached the light will turn off. An included IR remote allows for control of the camera from a distance.

Not my idea of a fool
Pink, dense with little flavour , could be anything certainly wasn't rhubarb and that's such a shame as its my favourite fruit !

Just another yoghurt product now
I used to buy these Waitrose fruit fools quite a while back when they were properly made, and then they were delicious. Fool is made from fruit puree and whipped cream. These are made with the addition of yoghurt. I do NOT like yoghurt. In my view, as the taste of yoghurt is so pervasive, any dessert with yoghurt added becomes merely another yoghurt product and they are legion. WHY has this been done? Cream is cheap enough and fruit fool used to be distinctive and delicious. Shame.

2.88/5 rDev -19.1%
Mass extinction pours a bright, deep red brown with almost no head. The aroma is sweet, nutty, slightly toasted malt, with plenty of boozy alcohol. The flavor is syrupy sweet with more intense, grainy nuttiness. Herbal hops pop up with a moderate bitterness. There is a sharp, fruity sweetness and a bit of slightly astringent chocolatey character. The finish is cloying with tons of harsh alcohol. Overall the beer is interesting, but hard to drink, maybe it could use a little time.

3.55/5 rDev -0.3%
Dark red and brown body. Big foamy head that settles down quickly a leaves just a thin film. Rich malt scent: nuts, hints of toffee. Definite fruitiness; raisins, plums. A faint hint of space. Fruity-malt taste. There's definitely a nuttiness and almost a fruit cake taste. Brown sugar, raisins, candied fruit bits. Even at 12% the booze is just a hint. This does take on a sort of eisenbock characteristic - similar malt profile; maybe due to the brewing process.
Smooth, slightly thick body. Low carbonation, and as this warms it smooths out quite a bit.
This isn't bad, but certainly not the best barleywine I've had. I'd be interested to try one that's been laid down, but I'm not sure this is really worth putting away.

Bottle from a liquor store in Vancouver. From notes.
A - Poured amber and bright. Mild carbonation, no head and no lace with obviously no retention.
S - Lot's of dark fruit, hops, alcohol, boozy fruitcake and resins.
T - Boozy dark fruit and hops. Burnt caramel, sugar, and a slight medicinal note.
M - Very light carbonation, medium to full body with sweetness and some bitter hops in the finish.
O/D - Very complex but not in a spectacular way. Not bad but not altogether good. Drinkable but didn't live up to my expectations.

4.28/5 rDev +20.2%
A: Extremely thick dark brown liquid with minimal to no head.
S: Nutty malt dominates the smell profile. It smells like shelled peanuts.
T: Sweet toffee malt, nutty flavours and some vanilla dominate the taste profile. There is a hint of dark fruit flavours in the background that is quite faint. The alcohol is very well hidden.
M: Thick viscosity and non-existent carbonation.
O: This is the first ice barleywine I have tried. Frozen three times, I must say this is a huge improvement over the Trainwreck barleywine (which I thought tasted like fresh string beans). Although I'm sure this is more expensive to make, this is so much better than the Trainwreck barleywine that the brewers would be better off competing with local BC barleywines by making this their go to beer of the style.
Although Phillips doesn't have the accolades that Driftwood and Central City have, every now and then they come out with a limited release that blows my mind. This, the Blueberry Pail Ale and the Double Barrel Scotch Ale are those beers.

3.83/5 rDev +7.6%
Appearance: Mass Extinction pours a dark red amber, mostly clear with a touch of sediment, and with a small white head which fizzled away quickly and entirely, leaving no lacing at all. I see no carbonation.
Smell: I'm reminded of the grains used to make Polish vodka. This isn't a bad thing, mind you. Also in there are nuts, big sweet malts and a good shot of booze. There might be some banana in there, if I'm not going crazy.
Taste: I think Mass Extinction is surprisingly complex. I taste sweet fruits teaming up with booze, so the first tastes remind me of a fruitcakey vodka, but the friendly hops and the wheezy booze kick in shortly afterward, rounding the beer off nicely.
Mouthfeel: There's virtually no carbonation in my glass, and the beer feels moderately thick.
Overall: This is one of the sweetest beers I can remember having, and the sweetness makes it unique. I could very well imagine having one of these - only one - with sashimi.

"ENERGY THAT IS ALL AROUND: The Mission School" @ Grey Art Gallery, NYUJuxtapoz // Tuesday, April 15, 2014
Presenting more than 125 works by five artists who launched their careers in a gritty San Francisco neighborhood in the early 1990s, ENERGY THAT IS ALL AROUND/Mission School is the first East Coast museum exhibition to highlight these artworks that have achieved cult-like status in the Bay Area and beyond. Artists in the show include Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, Ruby Neri, Alicia McCarthy, and Chris Johanson.
Sneak Peek: "Energy That Is All Around: Mission School" @ SFAIJuxtapoz // Tuesday, September 10, 2013
We have an "unknown sources" on the ground and in the Walter and McBean Galleries at the San Francisco Art Institute, taking some set-up and sneak peek photos from Energy That is All Around, a group show under the guise of Mission School featuring the works of Barry McGee, Chris Johanson, Margaret Kilgallen, Alicia McCarthy, and Ruby Neri. The show opens this Thursday, September 12 at SFAI.
Barry McGee and others @ 1717 17th Street, San FranciscoJuxtapoz // Thursday, April 26, 2012
Barry McGee has become a name that any art novice or expert has come to know and respect. Any event or art exhibition tied to McGee's name is guaranteed to have art world's ears will perk up. This was absolutely the case for the show that was recently organized right here in San Francisco, titled Contemporary Arts Centre. McGee uses a very specific word to describe the exhibition and opening reception, simply a "happening."

You have likely seen this before, however it's always a gem to resurrect from the archives. Painted by Margaret Kilgallen, who occasionally went by the name "Matokie Slaughter" among others. This same wall still gets painted regularly to this day and has a fair amount of stories beneath the layers.

A wonderful and simple streak still surviving the rails. Drawn by Margaret Kilgallen 14 years ago on July 4th.
Margaret Kilgallen Short Documentary by KQEDJuxtapoz // Thursday, July 28, 2011
Margaret Kilgallen is currently the subject of a retrospective, Summer/Selections, at Ratio 3 in San Francisco, and KQED, the San Francisco Bay Area's public television station, created this nice short documentary about Kilgallen, with an interview with book conservator and Kilgallen friend, Daniel Flanagan.
Opening Photos: Margaret Kilgallen @ Ratio 3 San FranciscoJuxtapoz // Friday, June 24, 2011
While most of the Juxtapoz staff was back in NYC last night, a few of the team stayed back and headed to the very special Margaret Kilgallen retrospective, Summer/Selections, at Ratio 3 in San Francisco. It was a packed house, everyone honored to see the late artists breathtaking work.
Margaret Kilgallen: "Summer / Selections" at Ratio 3Juxtapoz // Wednesday, June 15, 2011
As you may remember, we went back to archives to have Margaret Kilgallen's work on the cover of our April 2011 Art In the Streets Issue. We have also noted that Kilgallen (1967–2001) will have a retrospecitve, Summer / Selections, at San Francisco's Ratio 3 Gallery opening on June 23, 2011.
Photos from ArtPadSFJuxtapoz // Sunday, May 22, 2011
We made it out to ArtPadSF this weekend, where we saw works from presenting galleries such as White Walls, Ever Gold, Gregory Lind, Guerrero Gallery, Park Life, and Anno Domini, amongst others. And we got to sit poolside for a quick second as well.
Margaret Kilgallen and Bill Daniel at MOCA's "Art In the Streets"Street Art // Monday, April 18, 2011
One of our personal favorite moments of the entire "Art In the Streets" exhibition is the recreation of one of Margaret Kilgallen's last exhibition brought to life at the MOCA. It makes for a stunning visual, as you come from both the energy of the Os Gemeos installation and the Los Angeles graffiti wall of Revok, Jersey Joe, Saber, and Risk into the folk, bohemian, iconic work of Kilgallen. More after the jump . . .

Uric acid buildup results in a number of distressing symptoms, and the intensity and severity of these arthritis symptoms is what often drives people to seek natural remedies for gout. While a buildup of uric acid that results in a severe attack of kidney stones may necessarily require formal medical intervention, milder gout symptoms may be lessened or nearly alleviated by a number of alternative treatments.
Accordingly, natural remedies for gout are worth considering as a viable part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Many of these remedies go beyond simply adding a new food to your diet, and some natural remedies for gout are more about committing to healthy lifestyle changes. The right combination of remedies may lead to genuine relief, and let you move and live without the presence of relentless arthritis pain.
Gout attacks may occur due to a number of reasons, from alcohol consumption, eating foods that are high in purine, or from being significantly overweight. Accordingly, some natural remedies for gout include limiting your alcohol intake and avoiding sardines, anchovies, shellfish, and sausages containing organ meats as ways to limit your exposure to purine.

Fertility Without Drugs or Surgery
Scan the stacks at your local library, and you'll find shelves bowed with books on how to get pregnant. From the looks of it, one of our most primal functions—the creation of new life—seems a terribly complicated task. Unfortunately, that's exactly what it has become for the 6.1 million women and their partners currently struggling with infertility. In their desperation to conceive, many people find themselves navigating the conventional fertility path with all its confusing twists, turns, and dead ends: beginning with invasive tests, progressing to harsh fertility drugs with countless side effects, and culminating with in vitro fertilization if all else fails.
For the most extreme cases of infertility, those in which one or both of the partners have medical issues preventing pregnancy, that path—bumps and all—might actually be the only way to get pregnant. But holistic physicians like Joel Evans, MD, OB/GYN, author of The Whole Pregnancy Handbook, find that people too often resort to drastic treatment before ever giving their innate fertility a chance to prove itself. According to Evans, "60 to 70 percent of illnesses are lifestyle related. So it would make sense to treat lifestyle issues or do lifestyle interventions, and then use medicine for the problems that are left."
Our special section aims to shift the dialogue about infertility, so we focus on each person as an innately fertile being, who needs help manifesting this fertility, not as someone suffering from an acute dysfunction. Some approaches we explore are new and some are tried-and-true, but all of them will support your mind, body, and spirit as you find your path to parenthood.

(WMC-TV) - A unanimous vote by the Shelby County School Board of Education took Dorsey Hopson from interim to permanent superintendent.
Hopson said he remained humbled and honored by the vote. The former Memphis City Schools board attorney guided both districts through the merger this year, which included a number of highly publicized hiccups.
"This is the hardest job I've ever had in my life. It's a lot of work, but it's so important," said Hopson.
Board member David Pickler, an adversary in pre-consolidation days, made the motion to give Hopson the permanent job.
"He's proven in the toughest of battles he's able to lead and succeed," said Pickler.
Board member Kevin Woods said Hopson is committed to the children's education.
The board voted Tuesday to officially cancel the superintendent search it previously suspended after a firm failed to find viable candidates.
"I do support a national search at some point in time," said board member Teresa Jones. "I just don't think now or the next few years is the appropriate time."
The board and Hopson are looking for stability, especially with financial concerns, evolving leadership, and the pending formation of municipal districts.
Many parents seem happy Hopson agreed to take on the state's largest school district.

nope just a typical northern chick. Just kiddin for a change. But I love those Pitt uniforms. Wish they would go back to those colors and style. There's something to be said for tradition.
TorBear July 6, 2009 at 5:40 pm #
I didn't realize that Pitt went from 1-10 in 1972 to 12-0 and the MNC in 1976. If that's not the greatest turnaround in college football history I don't know what is. I think Johnny Majors left after that year, but Jackie Sherrill came in and kept the Panthers at the forefront of the college football world for the next six or seven years.

TD was something to see. A special talent indeed. One of the few that also excelled at the next level with the same flair.

Trattoria del Nuovo Macello
A real Milanese will tell you that those thin, battered 'elephant ears' that currently masquerade as cotoletta alla Milanese are a poor immitation of the real deal.
A real Milanese will tell you that those thin, battered 'elephant ears' that currently masquerade as cotoletta alla Milanese are a poor immitation of the real deal.
Super-stylist Rossana Orlandi has transformed a former corner tabacchi (corner shop) into Milan's most original and intriguing restaurant. Stark oversized clocks and raw concrete walls are softened by terrazzo floors and an ever-changing explosion of seasonal colour and texture.
Other than the exceptional collection, the highlight of the museum is its third-floor bistrot overlooking the Duomo. The artful decor combines mid-century modern wallpapers, beaux arts brasswork, baroque-style velvet sofas and Asian lacquer finishes for a luxurious, but understated atmosphere.
Dolce & Gabbana's shiny paean to excess will either enthral or appal depending on your mood (and perhaps who's paying). Mirror- topped tables mean you can, as the (British) Beat once bitterly suggested, watch yourself while you are eating.
Gualtiero Marchesi, Italy's most revered chef, presides over a modern dining room in that other Milanese institution, La Scala. Chairs upholstered in deep crimson evoke the neighbouring concert hall, as do musical notes cascading across white china. The menu is similarly traditional but infused with a creative spirit.
Milan's main branch of the Obika empire is stylish, with glass-box displays and French army chairs. Ordering is simple. Take your pick of mozzarella di bufula (buffalo milk mozzarella balls), from sweet to smoked, then choose an accompaniment (ranging from salads to prosciutto).
Is this the ultimate in Milan-style Japanese dining? The dramatically designed space puts the spotlight on the kitchen which prepares traditional sashimi but also a variety of creative raw and rare dishes. Japanese technique dominates, while the menu flirts with Italian flavours and ingredients (including a carpaccio -style Angus beef).
Gattullo is possibly Milan's finest pasticceria, serving up miniature pastries, tarts, sweets, sandwiches and officially recognised artisan panettone since 1961. Hailing from that great southern baking town Ruvo di Puglia, Joseph Gattullo built his small bakery into an empire bourgeiosie families can't do without.
Star chef Carlo Cracco keeps the Milanese in thrall with his off-the-wall inventiveness. Cherry-wood boiserie on the walls and creamy lighting are neutral enough to allow you to concentrate on your food.
Proud keepers of a traditional panetùn (panettone) recipe that once pleased Pope Pius X, Biffi has changed little since its 1847 opening. With its polished walnut bar, marble-topped counters and Murano chandeliers its air of old-world elegance continues to attract the good borghese, who come to meet over dainty cream cakes and cocktails.
This Torinese chain's gentle attempt at world domination (there are branches on Broadway and Bleecker) is no reason to dismiss its wares. The pale and fragrant pistachio is made from nuts sourced from the slopes of Etna, a rich gianduja mixes roasted Piedmontese hazelnuts with Venezuelan chocolate, and all sorbets and granita come from organic, seasonal fruit.
Known for seasonal produce and light, clean flavours, the menu at Joia is also imbued with drama and poetry (a winter dish of globe and Jerusalem artichokes, sweet black salsify and pomegranate is entitled 'Beneath a snowy white carpet').

Safety isn't just a set of codes and regulations. It's a culture.
That was the message given by Anthony Russell, Commissioner of Workplace Standards for the Kentucky Labor Cabinet, when he presented the Elizabethtown AGC Automotive facility with its third Governor's Health and Safety Award.
The Elizabethtown plant earned a plaque signed by Gov. Steve Beshear after going 2,872,182 hours without a lost-time accident or illness.
A entrepreneur from central Kentucky received a boost Thursday to grow his business.
Brian Mefford presented his company, Connected Nation Exchange, to a panel of judges during the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development's entrepreneur pitch competition in Elizabethtown. For his award-winning idea, CNX received a cash prize and the opportunity to present to the Kentucky Angel Investors Network in Frankfort later this year.
Elizabethtown soon will welcome the fourth international company to base its North American headquarters in the city.
During an announcement at Accumetric, Gov. Steve Beshear said Soudal Holding NV, a Belgium-based adhesive and sealant manufacturer, will purchase and expand the company.
"It's another exciting day for Elizabethtown, Hardin County and the Commonwealth of Kentucky," Beshear said to the crowd of state and local dignitaries and Accumetric employees.
After 91 years of operation, First Federal Savings Bank will disappear from the local business landscape later this year.
First Financial Service Corp., the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Elizabethtown, will become part of Community Bank Shares of Indiana. A definitive agreement finalizing the deal was signed Monday night and awaits approval from both shareholder groups and federal regulators.
Signature HealthCARE assumed operations Tuesday of Kindred Nursing & Rehabilitation – Woodland, now Signature HealthCARE of Elizabethtown.
SHC of Elizabethtown is a 112-bed nursing and rehabilitation center at 1117 Woodland Terrace. The center offers skilled-nursing, occupational and speech therapies, among other services.
In addition to the Elizabethtown facility, the transaction included the following Kentucky nursing centers:
Gary Gerstenslager said Elizabethtown is not the first Kentucky destination Hendrickson USA considered to build a manufacturing facility, but it perfectly suits the needs of the company, which develops suspension systems and other parts for heavy duty trucks.
Gerstenslager, the company's president and CEO, said Elizabethtown has an impressive industrial park, a desirable environment and the type of skilled workforce Hendrickson craves to maintain its market share.
Jimmy Wheeler of Upton won one of the annual Bucks for Bright Ideas awards through a contest held by the Kentucky Innovation Network-Central Region.
Question: I'm always looking for ways to stretch my pennies. I'm open to suggestions.
Answer: Here are some creative budgeting ideas that can make a difference.
Increasing or adjusting Income
Dollar General will celebrate the opening of its new Elizabethtown location with a celebration early Saturday.
The company has been relocating its stores in shopping centers to new standalone locations with parking at the door. The latest example is at 2025 N. Mulberry St. on the east side of Elizabethtown.
Question: The biggest practical question of service members transitioning from the military is "how much money do I need to make to maintain my quality of life?"

Breast Cancer Stem Cells in the Formation of Bone Metastasis
Scientific Abstract:
BACKGROUND: 4%-45% of patients with early stage breast cancer already have occult disseminated breast cancer cells in the bone marrow by the time the primary tumors are surgically excised. Despite the successful treatment of the primary malignancy in these patients, relapse can occur between 18 months to 5 years, but even up to 15 years after surgery. The propensity with which breast cancer associates with the bone and the subsequent relapse many years later, suggests a specific molecular basis for breast cancer attraction to the bone marrow, and that the cells in the bone may represent a reservoir of cancer cells from which subsequent distant metastases may seed. HYPOTHESIS: Breast cancer stem cells are the metastatic cells in the tumor mass. In the bone marrow, the metastatic cells are maintained as stem cells, which is dependant on the bone marrow stromal cells. Upon changes in the bone microenvironment due to bone resorption or changes in the marrow as a response to inflammation, the breast cancer stem cells begin to proliferate and from macrometastases. SPECIFIC AIMS: 1) To demonstrate that metastatic breast cancer cell lines contain breast cancer stem cells and that this population is metastatic 2) To show that the breast cancer stem cells remain viable as stem cells in the bone marrow environment but differentiate into non-tumorigenic cells in other tissue environments 3) To demonstrate that local bone resorption or systemic inflammation promotes macro-metastasis. STUDY DESIGN: Metastatic human breast cancer cell lines, SUM159 and SUM1315, will be sorted to isolate the breast cancer stem cells and characterized for their ability to form primary tumors as well as micro and micrometastases in the bone. Breast cancer stem cells will be co-cultured with stromal cells from various tissues and examined for the ability to differentiate as well as the cells present in the bone marrow. Metastatic promotion will be examined by altering the bone marrow environment through locally or systemically induced bone resorption, or inflammation. POTENTIAL OUTCOMES: This study will identify which cells in a breast cancer are the metastatic cells. This is highly important in the treatment of breast cancer as they represent the true target of therapies. More importantly, this work will elucidate in part, the local or systemic triggers that may promote breast cancer metastasis.
Lay Abstract:
BACKGROUND: It is estimated that nearly 216,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 and despite the enhanced detection methods and improved surgical treatment, breast cancer relapse and subsequent metastatic spread remains the major obstacle in the clinic. 4%-45% of patients with early stage breast cancer already have disseminated breast cancer cells that do not appear to be growing in the bone marrow by the time the primary tumors are surgically removed, and despite the removal of the primary malignancy many years prior to relapse in these patients, metastases at distant sites such as bone, and lung still develop and the mechanism for this remains unclear. One important property that the cancer cells must exhibit in order to form a metastasis much later after the primary tumor is removed, is the ability to survive in these distant sites for years. In normal tissues, tissue stem cells are the only cells that exist throughout the life of the organism. The stem cells that are the progenitors of all the blood cells in the body remain as stem cells in the bone marrow because of specific interactions with the bone cells. HYPOTHESIS: The metastatic cells in breast cancer are the cancer stem cells. They remain as stem cells in the bone marrow because of the specific interactions with the bone cells and therefore can give rise to metastases at a later time point. The development of metastasis is due to the changes that happen in the bone marrow environment as a result of inflammation or localized bone turnover. SPECIFIC AIMS/DESIGN: To determine if the breast cancer stem cells are the metastatic cells, several human metastatic breast cancer cell lines will be characterized for cancer stem cells and whether the cells can metastasize compared to the non-metastatic cell lines. Specific mouse models will be used to address whether the bone marrow environment can maintain the stem cell properties of the cancer cells and to demonstrate that the formation of overt metastases is dependant upon localized bone turnover or systemic inflammation, both of which induce changes in the bone marrow environment. BENEFITS OF THE RESEARCH: These studies are important, as they will identify which cells in a breast cancer are metastatic. This is highly important in the treatment of breast cancer as they represent the true target of therapies.
