Swarming is a natural phenomenon. It's the
way that honeybees expand their territory and ensure the continued
survival of the species. Each time they swarm they double the number
of hives and decrease the chances that disaster will wipe them all
Swarming is also a side-effect of the queen's
preparation for spring honey flows. In late winter the queen will
begin to lay more eggs in preparation for the influx of nectar and
pollen in the spring. More food requires a larger workforce to bring
it in.
But a larger honeybee population with more
nectar and pollen stored in the hive also results in overcrowding.
Beekeepers try to stay ahead of the bees by adding more supers (the
white boxes) to the hive so that the bees will have more space.
Unmanaged hives, though, soon fill up.
The swarms of spring leave home because nectar
and pollen are flowing in and the hive is getting over-crowded.
Relax! When they're
swarming bees are probably the most docile they will ever be. Before
they leave the hive they fill up on honey to keep themselves going
until they find a new home. Fat and happy honeybees, with no home
to protect, are less likely to sting.
Once the bees have moved into a building, though, they're no longer swarms. Here's a great video of a structural removal - and a great illustration of why we recommend leaving structural removals to the experts.
Mt. Diablo Beekeepers Association (MDBA) is
dedicated to educating communities
about honeybees and the historic art of beekeeping.
The MDBA is one of the largest bee associations
in the United States with 240 members from around the world. The
MDBA meets at 7:00 PM on the second Thursday of every month, except
November and December, at Pleasant Hill Community Center,
320 Civic Drive, Pleasant Hill, California.
Each month, the MDBA presents a different speaker
on a variety of topics and has an open forum for people to exchange
ideas and helpful tips.

Professors push voter registration
- By Joy Huertas
- Published: October 2nd, 2012
About 300 more students registered to vote on campus last week after information sessions were held the last 10 minutes of class Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 18 and 19.
Keith Anderson, the Dean of Students, talked about how important these in-class sessions were for students who needed guidance on how to register in a more personalized way. He mentioned that when there are a lot of students registered locally, the impact in local counsel is even greater.
"I think we did a good job, and we registered some more than other initiatives. It also gave students the opportunity to do it in a more control environment than when they're sitting in the Vines center," Anderson said. "It may be hard or may not be the time for people to decide if they want to vote locally or maintain their voting privileges back home. By doing it in a closed setting, such as a classroom, they can get more information on how to fill it out."
The high number of students registered to vote has changed things in the past and Liberty hopes to keep doing so.
"When we engage young people earlier, politicians and legislators pay more attention," Anderson said. "For example, the voter ID has been acceptable identification when previously it was the state identification. Collectively, having a strong voting voice gives us an opportunity to be heard by city leadership."
The student body had positive reactions about the sessions.
"Liberty is doing a good job at letting the student body know how important an election can be and that it is our duty to care about the future of our nation," Adam Dubbe, international business major, said.
Anderson had a town hall meeting at the Tower Theater at 4 p.m. yesterday.
"Certainly, it's going to be an opportunity for students to express they're experience," Anderson said. "I've heard some positive feedback, and I believe there are about 300 students who registered."
The deadline for registration on campus is Oct. 10 at 1 p.m. Students who still want to register may visit the registration tables at Green Hall, the Tilley Center and DeMoss Hall. The procedure consists of completing an application. The people at those tables will ensure that everything is filled out correctly and will turn it in to the registrar. Students will receive confirmation of their registration via email.
"My responsibility is to help them develop as a student and as a Christian citizen here in America. One of those privileges is being able to vote, and explaining to them how to do so and be part of that process is part of my job," Anderson said. "That's the benefit of having a republic society, that we get to choose our leaders, and to be part of that process, you first have to be registered to vote in order to select a good leader."

This animated short tells the story of a young trans girl who other people won't let be a girl, and her journey to living on her own terms. A warning that it's a tear jerker – Ellie Krnich's picture book animation style brings me right back to childhood. The short is a personal, intimate story that I and a lot of other folks can relate to. Ellie's bio and a transcript are after the jump.
Ellie Krnich is a 34 year old transitioned queer Femme currently making her home in the East Bay of Northern California, running a small little TV station in Berkeley. Truth Takes Time marks Ellie's first venture into animation filmmaking. She just finished her degree in character animation at Animation Mentor and likes to eat frozen blueberry muffins in her free time.
What the HELL?
Are you wearing your cousin's clothes?
Your father would be so ANGRY for
what you've done. If he ever found out….
00:01:32 –> 00:01:34
ALLIE: It seems like every time I look in
the mirror lately…
… I can't even see myself anymore.
I mean – it's what everybody else
can see…
… but it's not the real me.
Some days I think I could keep
living like this.
Hiding isn't so bad, is it?
At least it's safe.
But then I get reminded…
Like when I'm out with my friends,
there's always this segregation between us.
It's always subtle, but never to me.
DUDE: I don't care what anyone says,
I love my ball. I love it man, I love my ball!
ALLIE: And the guys always try to talk to
me about things they think I'd be
interested in… Because they are.
DUDE: Hey I'm from LA! Kobe man!
Kobe all the WAY!
ALLIE: And no matter how much I try to listen
and be present for my friends, I just can't.
DUDE: If you'd get rid of that gut, you should
play some more basketball.
ALLIE: I'm too busy wishing I was on the other
side of the room.
DUDE: Oh look at that right there!
She wants me! She is SO HOT.
ALLIE: … Where I know I belong.
ALLIE: There are these times when I can push all of this
gender bullshit out of my head.
And I actually… give myself a chance to just be.
[laughter begins]
ALLIE: But people just look at me funny.
Even though other girls my age can act the
same way without question,
I get stared down as if I just committed a crime!
And even though I should know better
than to care,
I can't let it go…..
There's no place safe for me.
So I stand, in limbo, waiting.
Waiting for nothing.
[voices of distrust and self-hatred]
I can't express myself the way I want to.
I can't get others to see me the way I want to.
I can't, I can't!
My whole life is full of CAN NOT and DO NOTS.
Nothing ever changes.
I'm tired of having to accept being invisible.
I just want to be happy.
I know people will never stop
judging me based on how I look.
But I refuse to spend the rest of my
life living like this.
I will not become the old man looking
back at my life with disgust,
regretting every day that I pretended to be
somebody that I'm not.
Because it was safe. And convenient.
I'm ready for the next step.
I'm ready to walk through the
looking glass.
And as they say…
Here we go…
00:07:02 –> 00:07:04
Today I filed for a name change.
It's not like.. I mean.
Things are just getting to this point that…
Using my birth name is getting confusing. For everybody.
Including me.
Poppa? Are you okay?
00:07:34 –> 00:07:37
POPPA: Ever since you told me about everything,
There are these nights that I just…
The same questions keep popping up into my head.
What did I do wrong?
ALLIE: Poppa – no…
POPPA: Was I around enough? Was she around enough?
I never wanted —
I tried to make it work with her.
And when it didn't, I tried to be both.
Maybe it wasn't en—
ALLIE: NO, Poppa. No.
None of this is your fault.
POPPA: How can you be sure?
ALLIE: I've spent the last 16 years of my life wondering everyday why I am the way I am.
And I look back at her. And then you –
The unbelievable you…
What if mom hadn't hurt me that one fateful day?
What if she had been around more?
What if I hadn't been so afraid to tell you it all so long ago?
00:08:38 –> 00:08:41
YOUNGER POPPA: Alex, what's wrong?
ALLIE: I could ask a million what if's, but there will never be any answers.
Not for this.
There is only right now.
For the first time in my life, I'm happy.
Which is all you ever wanted for me in the first place, right?
00:09:30 –> 00:09:37
ALLIE: People say you should always be yourself.
But hardly anybody lives up to that.
I don't want to live my life being scared.
BARISTA: Here you go miss.
ALLIE: Not like so many others…
ALLIE TO HERSELF: Someday it's going to work out. I promise.
EMMA: Allie? Are you ready?
ALLIE: I've always been ready.
The truth just takes a little time…

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Wanting a program that looked like it was bordered in gold, I called WPD and a staffer went through all the designs and sent me many samples to choose from. I ended up selecting a color that was not on the custom color card, but was used in one of their designs. It come out exactly how I wanted it to. Design wise, a staffer took the time to take this design and give me other design choices- one of which I loved. I made numerous changes along the way and he responded immediately. Couldn't have had a better experience."
"I was very pleased with the programs I had made. They came in very quickly and exactly as I had hoped. Beautiful color selections and I know they will help enhance our special day."
"I can't get over how perfect these are! the cards are folded so the back page sticks out more but I think it's there for easy flipping."
"This was absolutely the BEST item that I could have gotten for my wedding!! The design perfectly matches my bouquets, and the colors are beautiful. The only thing that would have been better would have been the option to have thermal printing to have the lettering "raised"....but that's a minor issue. Shipping time exceeded my expectations! The service was absolutely great!!!"
"So happy with the product and customisation options. Thanks to WPD for excellent personal customer service throughout the design process."

Thank you dear! I'm really fond of the coat, I worked hard on it! I actually AM probably doing pirate Aranea, I'm still just trying to nail down how I want to do it and if it is worth it.
Also, this is probably as good of a time as any to mention - I am most likely going to Anime Boston. I had tried to look into Fanime and Collosalcon, but the airfares were out of my budget. I have some friends going to Boston, and the Friday already off from work (unless there is a blizzard, fingers crossed.)
I'm still trying to see if this is a good idea for me to do, financially and everything else. Also seeing what kind of opportunities there would be for photoshoots and cosplay groups. I also know some folks in Boston (including a few Bostonstucks) and it would be cool to see them. So…we'll see.
Anyway, there is a chance if I do it, I'll wear Pirate Aranea there. Along with Frodo. And that Madoka fanart costume.

Can I reduce the size of Win 7 on C drive
Hi have just joined this great forum and this is my first post
I recently got an Acer 1810TZ with win 7 installed. My desktop runs win 2000 and the OS is currently less than 2.5Gb and I consider that bloated as originally it was more like 1.4Gb. I like to image and can easily put that on a dvd even without compressing the file.
On my new Acer the OS is taking up between 12 - 14Gb depending if I have a restore configured. I have partitioned the HD into several partitions. I only keep the OS and absolutely min stuff on my C drive and I have one partition dedicated to the page file only, 3Gb, and have all my programs etc installed on another partition. The recycle bin has also been reduced to 256mb on the C drive
Is there a way to significantly reduce the OS (C drive) to say less than 4Gb ?

Welcome to the forums!
I'm sure an expert will be along before long, but the consensus seems to be ... no. If you want Windows to save some restore points and have room to roam, its best to allocate more space not less. Like 50GB. A separate partition is a good idea.

Potts Camp News
Fred Whaley honored on 81st birthday
Fred Whaley was honored on his birthday, May 24, with a special dinner and celebration. He was 81 and still working. It was held in Holly Springs at the home of his granddaughter, Amanda and Kent Smith and young son, Jack Whaley. Many family members attended. Fred is a descendant of Colonel E.F. Potts, the first settler in this area. Sons of Fred and Mary Jo are Rodney Whaley and Brett Whaley.
Get well wishes to Mattie Gurley, who is recuperating from recent hip surgery. She needs our prayers.
On Tuesday I enjoyed seeing Dr. Boatwright and other friends at Williams Clinic in Potts Camp. We are proud we have a clinic and Potts Camp Pharmacy. They are all friendly.
Congratulations to Leigh Ann Sanderson, who is the new principal of Potts Camp School. She had served four years as principal at Mary Reid School. Chris Ferrell is the new assistant principal at Potts Camp School. Pat Kennedy from Byhalia School has become the principal of Mary Reid School. We wish them all success.
We were all happy to see Henry Tutor when he returned home recently. His grandson, William Thompson, changed his bathroom and put in a shower while he was in the VA hospital and nursing home. When he returned to his church, Faith Assembly of God in Myrtle, all the members stood up when he entered the door. They were glad to see him.
My sister-in-law, Joann Potts from Olive Branch, visited me on Memorial Day. She is a retired school teacher. Jo was the wife of my late brother, Rev. Lindy Potts. They have three children, Alan Potts of Tupelo, who is a radio announcer. Others are Dean Potts and Pam Qualls. I was glad to see her and her little dog.
Correction in last week's South Reporter: (This should have been in the Potts Camp Memories last week) In 1948, a lovely Hammond organ was donated to the Potts Camp United Methodist Church (still being used). It was given in memory of the mother of the Greer members, Cordelia Greer. She served as outstanding organist. Anthony Rabe of Houston, Tx., Eugenia Eason of Memphis, a former Potts Camp music teacher, and Faye Peel, the former organist at that time, played at the dedication service.
Prayer list: Mattie Gurley, Jean Derryberry, Roy Foote, Diane Clayton, Nadine Vest, Mary Jo McCallum, Juanita Howell, Lena Fay Work, Jessie Pipkin, Connie Work, Betty Fincher.
History and Memories
I remember the wonderful football team at Potts Camp School for four years under coach Lloyd Thomas! Members of the team in 1934 were Milton Steele, Ralph Overton, E.J. Marett, Andrew Watson, Clinton Boren, Ralph Greer, Frank Greer, Willard Overton, Mitchell Stone, Paul Lowery, Walter Dunn, Wyatt Kidd, Bob Bennett and Dooley Stone, also Herbert Cook.
We sang a song about our team — "There is no team like our team, no captain like Marett, no center like Steele is, he's just the best yet." Aileen Jones was crowned "Football Queen" that year.
One year after school, while the football team was playing on the field, someone yelled, "The depot is on fire." We all ran to town as fast as we could. My dad was the depot agent.
The football team also rushed there, and hooked up the only fire equipment Potts Camp had at that time. It was a huge hose wrapped around two large wheels. I looked for my dad; finally I spotted him coming out of the burning depot with two football players. They were helping him bring out his desk and important records. The depot was too far gone, but the stores on Front Street were in danger. The boys wet them with the hose. Two box cars nearby were filled with explosives. The crowd rushed back as flames shot into the air and made a loud noise. The football team was our hero that day. They saved the town.
For about six weeks, my dad, J.B. Potts, had two box cars set up in the middle of the tracks nearby until a new depot could be built.
My dad, along with George Holley and Sam Nichols were school board members. They picked some wonderful teachers.
We are thankful for our fire department today! It not only covers the Potts Camp area, it reaches across the railroad tracks several miles to the Bethlehem area. At one time trains would block the road and if a house was on fire, they couldn't get there in time. Now a truck and fire station are located there.
God has blessed us and we are thankful!

Yep, we're giving away another Final Fantasy XIV Beta Key [Update]
Yeah, it's Friday and the day after the 4th of July so there's not a hell of a lot going on. So what better way to celebrate another week down closer to Gamescom then another giveaway. We have another FFXIV Beta Key to giveaway for PC. You know the drill. Reblog this post and tomorrow morn we'll randomly pick one of you guys to get your Final Fantasy on.
[Congrats to Carleena, enjoy your adventures online]
Contest: Elgato Game Capture HD
We love you guys and all of our success and growth is all thanks to you! We've broking 100.000 followers, something I never ever thought would have happened. Like never.
As a way of giving back, we've partnered with the awesome folks at Elgato to give-away an Elgato Game Capture HD, which is hands down the best damn game capture hardware and software on the market. No bull!
This bad boy will record in 1080p and is constantly getting impressive software updates. For instance, you can now stream and record your gameplay with commentary going all at the same time. Want to use Xsplit for more advanced streaming stuff? No prob! Elgato has you covered as it now supports Xsplit natively as a camera.
So how do you win this awesome prize? Reblog this post and like ours and Elgato's Facebook page using the app below. That's it! A winner will be randomly chosen come Feb 4th. Now for some rules: This contest is only open to US residents due to blah blah blah at the moment. But, have no fear; we other contests coming soon for our CA, AU and EU friends! Thanks for all your support and happy winning!
*If we missed any other location sorry. But, yeah we have more stuff coming down the line for you guys. ;)
We've hit over 100,000 followers!!!!!
It happened and holy shit! Consider us amazed and humbled. We recently hit over 100,000 followers, officially making us somewhat kind of cool, at least our moms think so and it seems some of you do too. For that let me say THANK YOU!!!!
We're celebrating by giving away a sweet Elgato Game Capture HD, all thanks to the awesome folks at Elgato. So what is an Elgato Game Capture HD? Think of an HDPVR but better. Much much better. Elgato's software rocks faces allowing gamers to not only record their gameplay in HD but also stream to Twitch.TV natively or through Xsplit. Even better, you can record commentary on the fly, making your gameplay videos all the more awkward by trying to sound cool when you die on screen. But you meant to do that right?
We'll give details on how to win next week. Until then, thank you again and here's to hoping we can bring you more contests and great content this year as we continue to grow. Thanks!

It seems this is happening more and more Sundays but here we go again. I'm giving away a Steam key for Square-Enix's very under-appreciated RPG: The Last Remnant. The PC version is without question the best version with better combat balancing, graphics and all of the consoles versions DLC without any of the slowdown.
So here's the deal — reblog this post within the next hour and I'll randomly choose one reblog to give the key to. See, easy as can be ~ Have a great Sunday!
[The Winner is derpkneenar]

in the last two decades. In 1992 only seven states had approved nutrition education plans, and the federal share of funding was $661,000. By 2011, all states and the District of Columbia had approved plans, and the federal share of funding was $372 million (FNS, 2011b). However, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 placed a cap on federal funding for SNAP-Ed of $375 million in FY 2011 and then indexed funding to inflation in future years.
As part of its examination of the evidence, the committee discussed the role of SNAP in providing nutrition education. Three alternative scenarios were highlighted in this discussion:
• SNAP should offer nutrition education because it serves one in seven Americans and therefore has an opportunity to impact national nutrition and health.
• Because SNAP participants have many of the same dietary problems experienced by the population as a whole, nutrition education should be undertaken equally for all Americans and funded accordingly (i.e., SNAP funds should not be diverted to nutrition education).
• The low-income population, as represented by SNAP participants, has special challenges and burdens that should be addressed through unique nutrition education approaches funded by the SNAP program.
SNAP nutrition education programs need more and better evaluation, including studies investigating optimal approaches to delivering educational messages. The committee did consider the role of nutrition education in the food purchasing decisions made by SNAP participants to better inform its assessment of the feasibility of defining the adequacy of SNAP allotments.
The evidence presented in this chapter highlights a number of challenges related to the calculation of SNAP benefits that have an impact on defining their adequacy. The committee's findings and conclusions based on this evidence focus on the maximum benefit guarantee, the BRR, and the net income calculation.
Maximum Benefit Guarantee
The TFP does not account for the time costs of food acquisition and preparation or for geographic variation in the cost of food. Limited evidence from community-level studies indicates that some SNAP households

We learned quite a bit about the Bearcats after their win yesterday over the SMU Mustangs. Here are some of the postgame reactions.
Football Outdistances SMU in 28-25 Win
Cincinnati (7-2, 4-1 American) used a surgical passing attack to accumulate 299 yards in the air, contributing to 462 yards of total offense. Quarterback Brendon Kay (Marine City, Mich./Marine City) was 27-32, throwing for two touchdowns.
Cincinnati Bearcats 28, SMU 25 ; UC Moves To 7-2
There are warts with this team, that much is clear. The defense is far too willing to concede free yards for the sake of preventing big plays. When the offense has to run the Football they struggle to get it done. And there is a general lack of willingness and or ability to go for the throat when the opportunities are there. But 7-2 is, something that I would have accepted at this point back in August, however begrudgingly.
Student Section Makes The Leap From Kinda Funny To Completely Embarrassing
I have heard many a student complain about how UC has been screwed over by the powers at be in recent years. But here is the thing, it is hard to take all those claims about the Bearcats "deserving" a spot on the table when shit like this keeps happening. If you want the part you have to act the part, and this student section is becoming a bad clown. There is one more game left at Nippert in its present configuration, and this same shit will almost certainly happen for the Louisville game on national TV, during the one game this year where the Bearcats are guaranteed a big audience.
Bearcats Keep Rolling, Beat SMU 28-25
Cincinnati kept their winning ways going strong with a 28-25 victory over SMU. The Cats were powered by Brendon Kay's right arm yet again. He threw for 299 yards and 2 TDs, with 2 INTs. Most impressively, he was 27-32. His accuracy has been something else lately. His top target was Anthony McClung. McClung had 8 receptions for 97 yards. The big play was a 62 yard TD pass to Mekale McKay. It put UC up 14-10, a lead they never relinquished.
UC holds off SMU's late rally, wins 28-25
Amid the air show, UC chewed some clock and out-rushed SMU 163-48. Hosey Williams had 14 carries for 90 yards, Tion Green carried six times for 47 yards and a TD, and wildcat QB Jordan Luallen had eight carries for 29 yards and a TD.
Five thoughts: SMU drops to 3-5 after loss to Cincinnati
2. Big calls- After making it 28-25 with around three minutes to go, SMU decided to go for the onside kick rather than kick it deep despite having all three of its timeouts. Cincinnati recovered the kick, and Jeremiah Gaines was penalized for targeting. It was one of the oddest targeting calls of the college football season. Gaines did not hit anybody on the play and Jordan Miller, who actually made the hit, clearly made a clean tackle. On fourth-and-1 with a minute remaining, SMU defensive tackle Darrian Wright was called for a delay of game for disconcerting signals. Cincinnati was then able to take a knee and run the clock out.

lets see where scott's money came from. After the board of directors had a vote of no confidence in scott, they gave him 500 million to leave. Not a bad golden parachute for a guy who should be serving federal prison time, as opposed to using his ill gotten gain to but his way into Tallahassee.
I want to share with you one last story. It is the story of a young man who lived in public housing as a kid who never knew his natural father, who saw his adopted dad struggle to keep a job.That young man, of course, was Scott.
"I've seen what happens to families who are struggling to find work. I've had Christmas without any presents. And I don't want any of our people to ever feel stuck in those situations."
Scott became thoroughly unstuck from such a situation by heading up a company that paid a record $1.7 billion fine for Medicare fraud, leaving that job with a $300 million golden parachute and spending $73 million of that money to buy the governor's office of a state that turned down $51 billion of federal money to provide health care for 1 million poor Floridians, those very Floridians he says he wants to help.
That's not fantasy. That's reality.

Book Description:
One of the strangest and subtlest films ever made, the Maysles Brothers' 1975 documentary Grey Gardens today boasts as devoted a following as One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or Harold and Maude. Shot at Grey Gardens, the dilapidated East Hamptons mansion of "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" Beale, aunt and cousin to Jackie Onassis, this classic of cinema verite tracks the Beales' eccentric and sequestered lives--which consist mostly of doing nothing, but with a mesmerizing zest and volubility. Little Edie's magical aphorisms ("Raccoons and cats become a little bit boring," she sighs towards the end of the film, "I mean for too long a time ") are gems of unwitting camp, and between her observations, her costumes, the incredibly bizarre mother daughter tensions, the cats, raccoons and the beautiful ruins of Grey Gardens itself, "doing nothing" amounts to everything; indeed, it amounts to a tragicomedy of enormous emotional punch.This eclectic volume offers a myriad of collaged illustrations, photographs, film stills, production notes and other archival materials alongside transcripts of the Beales' own stories and conversations edited from unreleased Grey Gardens sound recordings. Structured to mirror the Maysles' own approach to the world of the Beales, it closely resembles the enchanting clutter of the mansion, a self-contained world littered with mementos and telling ephemera. It also reproduces unpublished photographs by both Albert and David Maysles. With an introduction by Albert Maysles, drawings and illustrations by Albert's daughter, Rebekah Maysles and an appendix with the full transcript of Grey Gardens, as well as an audio CD of sound recordings capturing the Beales at their best, this book is the essential companion to the film and a beautiful testimony to its legacy. The 60-minute CD that comes with the book contains conversations with the Beales and their friends, songs and poetry recited by the two Edies and audio of the Beales during and after watching the film for the first time.

Hearing Loss May Speed Up Dementia
Posted By Candy Sagon On January 23, 2013 @ 8:00 am In Health Talk | Comments Disabled
[1]Here's a really good reason to get your hearing tested: New research indicates that older Americans with untreated hearing loss [2] experience a faster decline in thinking and memory skills than do those with normal hearing.
The study has widespread ramifications, considering that hearing loss affects 30 percent of adults ages 65 to 74, and 47 percent of adults 75 or older, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). At the same time, only 25 to 29 percent of those 70 or older use hearing aids [3].
In the study [4] of 1,984 older adults (average age: 77), those with measurable hearing loss [5] had a 30 to 40 percent greater cognitive decline after six years when compared with their counterparts who did not have hearing loss. That difference translated to a 24 percent increased risk of cognitive impairment among those with hearing loss, according to lead study author Frank Lin, M.D., of the Johns Hopkins Center on Aging and Health.
Those with the most severe hearing loss also had the greatest mental decline and the highest likelihood of developing it, Lin and his colleagues wrote. Cognitive problems, however, were evident even in subjects who had mild hearing loss, like having trouble following a conversation in a busy restaurant, Lin told USA Today [6]. The study, funded by the NIH, was published in JAMA Internal Medicine online this week.
While the scientists didn't determine why mental skills decline when hearing loss occurs, Lin said there are various theories. It could be that the same mechanism in the brain that causes cognitive impairment also affects hearing function. Another possibility is that the effort to hear and understand muffled sounds causes problems in the brain. Finally, it simply could be the social isolation of not being able to hear well that impacts brain function. Or, it could be a combination of all three reasons.
And it's not just older people whose thinking abilities are affected when their hearing diminishes. "Otherwise healthy young adults" with hearing loss are similarly affected, Arthur Wingfield, professor of neuroscience at Brandeis University, told USA Today.
Wingfield was not involved with Lin's research, but, as he told the newspaper, the "link Dr. Lin demonstrates between mild loss of hearing and cognitive skills is a call for alertness to a public health issue that has received less attention than it should."

I'm a sap, BUT!
To the ladies,
I'm a guy who'll go grab the moon and the stars for you. I'm a guy who'll sing love songs for you. I'm a cheesy guy, I'm all about those cliche Korny things. I use those cheesy pick up lines. HOWEVER, only through writing. I don't sweet talk ladies for their ego to be boosted (hahah, such a funny thing, :P). But I do tell girls the truth of what I think about them. I don't spit lies to make you feel better.
Yes, I'm a sap, but I know my "sap-limit" (yes, if this word is used somewhere else, I coined it!). I won't be all lovie-dovie when I know something won't happen. Why would I pursue something that seems to be non-existent? Clearly, I'll just make it hard for myself if ever that's going to happen. (shoot, I sound totally different right now haha). But, I do pursue something that seems non-existent, only if it's worth pursuing.
Yes, I'm a sap, maybe even the sappiest person you'll ever meet. I do all these little cute things just to make a person happy because I think it's worth their smile. And it feels good to make someone smile, especially when you really like them. I'd write songs and sing them in front of you. It's rare for me to smile while singing, that's a struggle. If ever you'll notice that, that means you are an important person:)
And no, this is not for ALL the ladies, but to one person, whoever that is. But as a friend, I do tell the truth every single time. Why lie? That business is not welcome here.
I can be your Cyrano. I'll fill your ears with words of honesty and a little sprinkle of sweets (metaphors, simile, and all that good stuff). I can be your Romeo who'll take a dagger for you, metaphorically-speaking. As I end this post, I'll spit a little conceited statement - I'm Awesome. I say it to other people, why not say it to myself? :P HAH. You should too, everyone is awesome in their own way.
P.S. that conversation made me write this. hahaha.

Portland's eco-roof industry falls short
|| Print |
|The Latest
|Wednesday, November 07, 2012
The worldwide eco-roof industry is growing rapidly, and Portland is often lauded as being in a unique position to benefit as an early adopter of the green building trend. The city has joined much larger cities in offering green roof incentives since 2008, and is home to startup eco-roof manufacturer Columbia Green. Portland State University boasts a Green Roof Design and Testing Lab. Yet the city is falling behind on its goal of 43 acres of eco-roofs by 2013.
Vegetated roof systems reduce and treat stormwater, fight air pollution and sequester carbon dioxide. As part of the sustainable stormwater management practices program Grey to Green, Portland pays up to $5 per square foot for new eco-roof projects within city limits. The roofs cost between $5 and $20 per square foot, and that price is expected to come down as they become more common. Grey to Green's goal is to reach 43 acres of green roofs by 2013. However, as of July 2012 the city had only 355 eco-roofs on Portland homes and businesses, totaling 17.7 acres.
Driven by incentives like Portland's across the world, the green roof and wall business will become a $7.7 billion market by 2017, says a new report by Lux Research. Poised to benefit from that is green-roof pioneer Columbia Green. In September, Columbia Green received a $80,000 commercialization grant from Oregon BEST to partner with Portland State University researchers on measuring and tracking the ability of ecoroof systems to manage stormwater runoff in urban settings. The PSU research team is led by Graig Spolek, who runs the university's Green Roof Design and Testing Lab. The collaboration hopes to quantify the benefits of eco-roofs, backing up claims being made by the young industry.
The market for green roofs grew 115% in 2011, according to industry trade group Green Roofs for Healthy Cities. "We are definitely beginning to see results from policy support that has increased over the past few years," said GRHC Chair Jeffrey L. Bruce in a press release. "The industry is also benefitting from the more than 500 accredited Green Roof Professionals (GRPs) in the market, who are committed to driving future industry growth."
Besides their environmental aspects, green roofs hold the possibility of being beautiful green additions to dreary concrete jungles, or even provide recreation value. Portland-based Surround Architecture recently completed a 1,400-square-foot green roof on Turtle Island Foods' new riverfront production facility in Hood River. "The design of the green roof evolved," Surround Architecture creative director Mark VanderZaden said. "We specified deeper soil than the typical green roof so it could have areas to grow vegetables and taller accent plants, designed a bocce ball court, incorporate seating areas and walkways, and wired the roof for sound so music can be enjoyed outside. Mini-golf holes with an environmental theme are still to be added."
So if green roofs can help the environment and look cool, why aren't more developers creating them in Portland? The market may be growing internationally, but still lags behind in Columbia Green's hometown. The failure of green building pioneers like the much-lauded Oregon Sustainability Center shows that local support for green building efforts can balk in the face of high price tags. A Portland study from 2008 did a detailed cost analysis on eco-roofs. Compared to a traditional roof, a 40,000-square-foot eco-roof would cost $128,803 more after five years, but save $403,632 for the property owner after 40 years. And with the economy the way it is, people are looking at short-term costs rather than long term savings. PSU's Green Building Research Center has an online Green Roof Energy Calculator that is partially funded by the U.S. Green Building Council. Try it yourself to see if a green roof could be right for you.
Portland property owners and developers can get more information on how to apply for the eco-roof incentive at the Bureau of Environmental Services' website.

AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini backs Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos to become the best
9/12/13 in Soccer | SamuelWhale | 589 respect
AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini believes Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos has the capability of becoming the world's undisputedly best defender, but Spaniard will to show utter diligence to acquire such an achievement. Maldini believes occasional lapses in concentration have stopped Ramos from showing the pinnacle of his form.
Ramos, who has recently become a regular choice for center-back after starting as a right-back at Real Madrid and Spain, has picked up all domestic trophies for his club and have helped his country win the 2010 World Cup as well as the Euro 2008 and 2012 trophies.
Maldini told Marca in an interview that Ramos just couldn't keep his head all the time. Ramos gave an example of this oddity when he played Eduardo Vargas for Chile's first goal in a 2-2 friendly draw on Tuesday. Ramos' disciplinary record also speaks against him. The 27-year-old is the most red-carded in history of Real Madrid. Ramos has picked up a total of 16 red cards and 100 yellows in the eight seasons he has played under a Real Madrid jersey.
"Sergio Ramos has everything to become the best defender in the world, if he is not already," Maldini said. "He is very close, together with Thiago Silva, but he must perfect some things to be the undisputed number one.
"He must be ambitious and work more in his head, because on the physical and technical sides he already has plenty. I am sure that Carlo Ancelotti will be a big help for him in putting the final touches to this. He can play in various positions at the back, center-half and full-back, but to be the best center-half he must always play a perfect game. Always."
Maldini believes the new Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will bring success to the club. Ancelotti, who used to be Maldini's teammate and then manager of AC Milan, will not change much at Los Blancos according to Maldini.
"Carlo has always triumphed everywhere he has gone," the former Italy international added. "Unlike at PSG, he does not now have to change the squad's mentality, to start from zero with his philosophy. At Madrid that is all already there -- the only thing he must do is win.
"There will not be much patience, in the same way as at Milan. I am sure he knows that himself. He knows the culture of a winning team, which always looks for success while playing well. He has shown that in England, Italy and France, something that not all coaches can say. There is no team that Carlo is not capable of commanding."
