They Don't Teach This Math in School
There's a lot of gloom and doom in the news these days. If we listen too much, unbiblical fear may begin to govern our actions because we're only putting our trust in what we see.

Jesus and Buddha on Happiness
Greatly disturbed by the suffering he saw in the world, 29-year-old Prince Guatama Siddhartha (563-483 BC), who was later called the Buddha (enlightened one), left his wife and young child and set out on a search for the meaning of…Continue Reading

Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment

Doubt Your Perception of Suffering
There he sat, the scum of society, a sorry piece of work begging the condescending mercy of pious passersby going in and out of the temple. Enough mercy and he could eat.

The Night the Angel Didn't Come
Luke says it so quickly, so matter-of-factly: "[Herod] killed James the brother of John with the sword" (Acts 12:2). In the flow of the story this little phrase sets the stage for Peter's dramatic prison rescue by the angel. So…Continue Reading

A Burlington judge has granted a prosecutor's request for recordings of phone calls made from jail by a man awaiting trial on a murder charge.
Judge Brian Grearson ruled this week that phone calls made by 27-year-old Daniel Whalon of Burlington are very likely to produce information that is relevant to the case.
Whalon was arrested in the July 2011 stabbing and killing of 54-year-old Ralph Bell of Burlington.
Authorities say Whalon and Bell fought on a bridge across the Winooski River between Burlington and Winooski, and that Bell's body was later found on the riverbank below the bridge.

"We are encouraged by our findings and the future groundbreaking potential of NovoTTF therapy in this tough-to-treat disease and other cancer."

Eagle-Tribune: Guinta among thriftiest lawmakers
A study released last week by the National Taxpayers Union Foundation ranked the first-term Congressman from New Hampshire 432nd out of 438 in the entire House for "net" spending, that is the amount his bills would cut spending versus increasing it. Congressman Charlie Bass, the other member of the all-Republican New Hampshire House delegation, ranked 228th, with cuts amounting to $31.7 million — one-tenth the amount from Guinta.

Swing Voters and Elastic States
The classic example of an elastic state is New Hampshire. It has a very high percentage of independents, and those voters are also independent-minded in practice. Almost all of New Hampshire's voters are white, but very few of them are evangelicals, characteristics that roughly balance out (Mr. Obama won about 55 percent of the nonevangelical white vote in 2008).

WA: Nationals Almost Win Chair Sniffer's Seat In By-Election
A BY-ELECTION YESTERDAY in the seat vacated by former Western Australian Treasurer and "chair sniffer" Troy Buswell has seen the Liberal Party run very close by its National Party partners in the ultra-conservative electorate of Vasse; despite the absence of a Labor candidate, the result underlines the fall from public favour of Colin Barnett's government, and serves as a warning to the WA Liberals near the halfway point of its second term. 558 more words

North Las Vegas: Hardest Hit City?
The alarming billboards appeared overnight on the street corners and empty lots of North Las Vegas, the hardest recession-hit city in the hardest-hit state in the nation.
"Warning: Due to recent police layoffs, we can no longer guarantee your safety!"
Once the country's fastest-growing city, the middle-class haven of 220,000 outside Las Vegas is now teetering on the brink of insolvency. The state is threatening to take over the city and desperate officials are even considering selling the brand new city hall.
The billboards came down after a court blocked mass police or fire layoffs, but the problems remain in the state's fourth-largest city. Property values have plummeted. After spending more than it earned for four consecutive years, the city will not be able to make payroll come October, state auditors said.

Mayor's View: City of Del Mar progress update
I was at lunch the other day with a friend who asked me how the City was doing. I described a number of areas where the City is making progress. His response was "I didn't know all that was going on." So maybe it would be good to share some significant steps we are taking that may not be so visible to your readers.
Fairgrounds Governance
Thanks to the hard work of Don Mosier and Lee Haydu, we have been able to communicate to our County and State elected officials our desire to have Del Mar, Solana Beach and San Diego represented in the new Joint Powers Authority being formed by the 22nd DAA and the County.
Supervisor Ron Roberts and DAA President Adam Day have proposed a JPA made up of nine members of the DAA Board and five County Supervisors, leaving out any representation from the cities that surround the Fairgrounds. Whether Supervisor Ron Roberts and Adam Day will ultimately agree to have local representation on this new governance body is still uncertain. But we have made the point that the quality of decisions regarding Fairgrounds operations will be much improved if the perspectives of the surrounding communities are considered. And isn't that what this proposal should be; better governance and regional oversight? If Del Mar and the other two cities are not allowed to participate, all that will have been accomplished is the establishment of a new entity that permits 22nd DAA employees to receive higher pay and benefits. That is not better governance.
A Balanced Budget
In May, the City Council reviewed and adopted the proposed City Budget for 2013-14, and 2014-15. The budget for 2013-14 is planned to be $19 million, and for 2014-15, $19.3 million. This compares to the budget of 2012-2013 of $19.9 million. Our General Fund Contingency Reserves remain over 10 percent at 19.5 percent and 24.9 percent for each of the two years.
Pension Liabilities
All cities in California have been impacted by the recession. Most cities are facing a situation where their pension benefits promised to employees are more than the asset values of the CalPERs investment pool. Del Mar is no exception. We have an estimated $9 million unfunded pension liability that needs to be funded. Thanks to the hard work of Jim Eckmann, Tom McGreal, and members of the Finance Committee, we are developing a strategy to correct the problem over the next several years. This year we are taking the first step by paying off a $3 million Side Fund obligation that has cost the City interest payments of 7.5 percent annually. Our next step is to set aside roughly $220,000 per year as a local savings account to offset and gradually eliminate our unfunded pension liabilities. How to save that amount is a question the City Council will be discussing in the weeks ahead.
Long-term Forecast
It is difficult to predict the future. But for the first time, Scott Huth and his staff have put together a 30-year forecast to project the City's revenues and expenditures. This allows for better decisions when it comes to determining how the community can pay for needed improvements.

On July 24–25 the Fascist Grand Council met in Rome for the first time since the beginning of the war and passed a motion asking the king to resume his full constitutional powers—that is, to dismiss Mussolini.

Episode 55 — Superstition vs Christianity
Some anti-theists equate Christian faith with superstition. Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith discuss an article by Don Batten where he refers to research published in The Skeptical Inquirer (a periodical founded by atheists to oppose Christianity), showing that conservative Christians, the most likely to reject Darwinism, were the most likely to reject 'occult and pseudo-scientific notions'.

Layers are a special kind of HTML elements that can be used as a container to hold other HTML elements and to show them dynamically using JavaScripts. We can stack more than one layer on top of each other. One or more layer can be made visible dynamically, by hiding others. But using Macromedia Dreamweaver you can do all this without even knowing JavaScript or coding.
In this tutorial we are going to use multiple layers stacked over one another, and make it viewable, when you mouseover an image. In this case study I have taken 2 rollover images: Image1, Image 2, and three layers: Layer1, Layer2 and Layer3.
When we mouse over on the Image1, the second layer will appear while Layer1 and Layer 3 will be hidden along with its content. Likewise for the Image 3, Layer1 and 2 will be hidden and only Layer3 will appear with its content. When we mouse out from the images, Layer 1 will come up again.
To achieve this follow the steps and enjoy!
1. Creating rollover Images
First as I said let us create 2 Images. We can use Macromedia Fireworks to create the images. In our case I have designed 4 buttons; 2 for the up state and 2 for the down state.
After designing the buttons, open a new page in Dreamweaver and create a 2X1 table. Now Insert the images using, Insert>Interactive Images>Rollover Image. Browse and select the first one for the up state and the second one for the down state. ( I am assuming you have put the images in the proper folder.)
Now do the same for the next image, so that both the images are in the first column of the table as shown in this example.
2. Placing Layers
Open Insert>Layer and place the Layer1. Move the layer into column2 of the table. Now you can write the content inside the Layer. Select the layer in the Properties Inspector and select Overflow as 'visible'. This makes this first layer the default layer and makes it visible while the page is being loaded.
Note down the position of the Layer (566px and 163px). Insert the second and third layers on the same position, so that they will sit over the first layer.
Now insert the text on those layers. (Note: Due to the overlapping of layers the text may not be clear. So, you can place the layers somewhere else, write down the text and then change the position of the layers to sit on the same position as the first layer.)
3. Changing the Layer Properties
Select Window>Layers. You will get the Layer Inspector, with all the three layer details. Select Layer2 and Layer3 and if the eye is open click on it to close it for both of them. In the properties Inspector you can see the OverFlow is selected as hidden for Layer2 and Layer3. This enables Layer2 and 3 to be hidden while the page is loaded.
4. Adding Behaviors
Now select the Image1 where we are going to add the dynamic Layer effects. Then Open Window > Behavior. You can see the Events and actions created by Dreamweaver for the Rollover Images which we did in step 1.
Click on the button and select "Show-hide Layers". You will get this box to 'Show or Hide" the Layers.
Now do the following:
a. Select Layer1 than click on 'Hide'
b. Select Layer2 and click on 'Show' then,
c. Select Layer3 and click on 'Hide'.
This action will make Layer1 and 3 disappear and show Layer2 whenever you mouseover Image1.
You can also see the new JavaScript events created by Dreamweaver in the Behaviors Inspector. Here the new onMouseOver and onMouseOut with Show-hide Layers as actions.
Note here that you can use other events also as you like. For example instead of onMouseOver you can use onClick. To do this you need to click on the tiny black, inverted arrow next to the event. Use this to select other events, ie OnClick, Down etc.,.
At the foot of the list there is a category which allows you to choose which browsers to support, make sure a check is next to 4 and higher browsers. (Only after choosing the browser 4 or higher you will be able to see all the Events in a list)
Follow step 4 by selecting Image2. Then,
a. Select Layer1 than click on 'Hide';
b. Select Layer2 and click on 'Hide' then,
c. Select Layer3 and click on 'Show'.
This action will make the Layer1 and Layer2 disappear and show Layer2 while you move your mouse over Image1.
5. Bringing Default Layer Again
Now as a final step, you need to bring back Layer1 when you move your mouse out of the Image (or when you mouse away from the images to somewhere on that page). Select Image1 and click on the button and select "Show-hide Layers". You will get a box to 'Show or Hide" the Layers.
Now do the following...
a. Select Layer1 than click on 'Show'
b. Select Layer2 and click on 'Hide' then,
c. Select Layer3 and click on 'Hide'.
This action will make Layer2 and Layer3 disappear and show Layer1 while you move your mouse out of the Image1. Also do not forget to change the Events to onMouseOut.
Repeat step 5 with Image2 also. Now you should get the Behavior Inspector like this Image, showing all the Events for both Image1 & Image2.
Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Best Bawlmer Cheap Eats
- j
- Jon Parker Apr 28, 2002 12:24 PM
Here's my favorites, in no particular order. What are your under $10 a person faves?
1. Andy Nelson's Barbecue, Cockeysville
What can be said that hasn't already? Simply perfect. Two people can stuff themselves silly on the combo platter" 1/2 chicken and 1/2 slab on ribs, two sides (best baked beans ever), and cornbread. With tax, it's still under $20.
2. Kabob Hut, Towson
For $9 you get two kabobs: I recommend the chicken, which has never been dry in my experience and the ground beef with spices and onions. It comes with a huge mound of saffron rice and a fresh baked flat bread as big as a medium pizza.
3. Ann's Dairy Creme, Severna Park
Hole in the wall in front of Marley Station Mall on Ritchie Highway. No seating, and you WILL stand in line for the double dog with chili, onions and mustard on a cornmeal dusted roll. No way to describe it: it has to be experienced. If blue collar folks aren't your style, stay away. You'll see at least one Jeff Gordon t-shirt, guaranteed. Those of us watching our weight and health need to visit sparingly, but it's a great occasional treat.
4. Eichenkrantz, Baltimore
So Hausner's is gone, but this German place fills the food, if not the decor, gap very nicely. Specials are always under $10, including steak night.
hmmm....I'll add
1) Matthew's Pizza (Eastern Ave.) since a large pie easily feeds 2.
2)Golden West Cafe (W. 36th Street) for both the Vietnamese salad with shrimp and the thai salad. Or the Frito pie, if waistline is no consideration.
3)Cambalou (Calvert) for their substantial sandwiches.
(2) and (3) are BYO so that helps out the wallet even more.
[homer simpson voice] Andy Nelson's......aghwhgwhgwhgwhgwghw [/homer simpson voice] *drool*
Some of mine are:
(1) Samos in Greektown (perhaps slightly over $10.00 but also BYOB);
(2) Bowl of Roast Duck/Pork noodle wonton soup from Golden Gate in Towson or a bowl of Pho from Saigon Restaurant;
(3) any of the salmon sandwiches at Greg's;
(4) the chicken salad sandwich and a bowl of chicken noodle soup from the Women's Industrial Exchange;
(5) the dim sum/noodles at Eastern Buffet; and
(6) a burger at Jimmy's in Fells Point, particularly on Saturday or Sunday morning.
I would add:
Ghion Cafe in Mt. Vernon--Homestyle Ethiopian food in a dive bar with country rock on the juke box. A lamb platter costs $10 and can serve as a light dinner for two.
A bowl of mussels at John Steven's, enough to feed two and just $8 or 9.
And the salads at Golden West, but someone allready mentioned that.
The light fare at Brewer's Art. The swankest you'll feel for $15 (you have to add extra for a beer or two).
I keep hearing about Andy Nelson's. I'm going to have to make a trip up there sometime soon!
Cypriot in the old News American Building downtown for a Falafel sandwich that could choke a horse...whoa, almost a spelling faux-pas there. Awesome, perfectly crisp on the outside, moist and spicy on the inside little green balls buried with a salad and tart tzatziki in a pita. Food court ambience, but so what.
Tim at Mastellone's Deli on Harford road will make you a fantastic Italian cold cut sub on good bread,and with the best quality cold cuts in Baltimore for about 6/7 bux.
Across the street at Muellers Deli you can get one of the best roast beef sandwiches in town for even less, and you can buy a single German beer to wash it down to boot!
re: dbutcher
rilly? I never saw that place before. I love what Tim does, but a single hefe with a sammy may be too hard to resist.
El Salto - Brooklyn Park- It is my favorite Mexican restaurant in town regardless of price, but the fact that dinner with a soft drink and tip included is less than $10/person makes it unbeatable.
Fazini's Italian Restaurant- Cockeysville - A pound of homemade fresh pasta with delicious marinara sauce is $8.00. Add a salad with their incredible homemade dressing for $2.00, and you have a meal for $10 that puts Little Italy to shame. Wonderful calzones and sandwiches are even cheaper. BYOB.
How about the Helmand? Many entrees are just around $10. Granted, appetizers are a must but for sake of argument one could eat for $10 per.
Other favorites already mentioned are Samos and Matthews Pizza.
re: Slippery
What is it about Fazzini's? The only time I was there the food was revolting... over cooked watery pasta in a place that stakes their reputation on pasta doesn't work for me. And the staff had a serious problem with customer service...which is a problem in a customer service sort of business. Nevertheless I still hear people going nutso over it. Cheap is fine as long as it isn't a waste of time. I'd spend an extra buck and go anywhere else.
re: dbutcher
THANK YOU! finally, someone else who doesn't worship at the fazzini's shrine. i think the food there is terrible. i sometimes stop in to buy their frozen fresh pasta when i don't have time to make my own, but that's it.
sauces are underseasoned and unimaginative, food in general is heavy and clumsily prepared. this is NOT what true italian food is like, at all! and yet there's a line out the door every saturday night. were there a gun to my head to choose an italian restaurant in timonium, i'd rather eat at the macaroni grill, also with a line out the door on saturday night...sigh.
re: trix
Fazzini's is okay for take out or delivery but I don't think I would ever stand in line waiting for a table on any night of the week. The Macaroni Grill has a certain plastic Italian schmaltz appeal. When the moon is full I'm there. Sort of like a chowhound guilty pleasure. When they opened they actually had a tenor sing Volare and other semi-Italian classics during the dinner hour.
Besides when I really want to chow I go to Andy Nelson's for the BBQ. His food is really good. The brisket, the pit beef, the ribs. So good, I stopped using any kind of sauce. Just doesn't need it.
re: michael
If anyone cares, and I suspect many may not, Fazzini's was reviewed in today's Live section of the Sun. Link attached below.
re: asun
i'm acquainted with laura reilly, who used to do some of the sun's food writing before she moved to san francisco (foodie heaven!). she's great, enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable about food and restaurants and all the small and large details important therein. she was also very effective at communicting these qualities when she wrote. (she still appears in the food section -- she has the surreal gig of being the recipe tester for that 'reader's request' recipe column where people write in looking for recipes like sauerkraut cake!)
so when i read the sun's reviews i bear in mind something she once told me, that the editorial approach demanded at the paper is that a review must be either mostly good or mostly bad: they want a definite slant, one way or the other, and strongly prefer a good review to a bad one. they think it 'confuses' the readers to have a so-so review. (which is absurd, how many truly terrific restaurants are there where every menu item is a gem? even the most banal restaurant usually has one especially good thing -- part of being a chowhound is having that second, third, or sixth sense when reading the menu and knowing how to spot the good stuff! but i digress).
anyway, i try to keep that in mind, but the sun's thursday reviewer is just so incredibly inept. her reviews are so generalized, bland and uninformed i've never once thought to myself, wow, i gotta eat THERE! when reading one. she really seems to know damned little about food, especially anything the slightest bit 'ethnic' -- and i won't even go into my opinion of her writing abilities.
sorry for the mini-rant. i'm just so disgusted every time i read one of her reviews! i did get a chuckle out of the fazzini's review, though. you could tell even she didn't like the place and was trying to say so without really saying so.
anyone else got opinions on local food writing? i hardly ever agree with stuff i read, but i think it's often good for amusement purposes and occasionally leads to new food finds. i do like cynthia glover's stuff for baltimore magazine on the rare occasion (dentist's office, usually) when i read it. she seems to know about food, and has a little style to her writing.
but i'd much rather just go out and eat, than read about eating! except for beloved chowhound message board, of course!
re: trix
oh, now i feel sorta guilty that i ragged on that reviewer on chowhound -- it just occurred to me that any local food writer worth their salt would at least lurk on their local chowhound chat board. she might read it and get her feelings hurt sigh. i stand by my opinion, but never meant to flame anyone personally. so, sorry in advance if anyone's delicate feelings have been stomped upon by my combat boot-clad opinions...
re: trix
Flame This:
I write food and wine things for Baltimore Mag. which supports us incredibly well in terms of what we feel we need to write, despite the effect that may have on their advertising revenue. This is an intensely personal business, and if you can't put your REAL opinions down on paper, you just have to do something else. Not everyone will agree with your opinions of course, but life is tough. As a consumer, you should be frank and tough with your own opinions of those who profit from the privilege of dining out for fun and profit. I write about what I like, but without naming names, there are others at whose opinions my wife and I laugh out loud. E-mail me directly if you want stuff that I can't post here. Best.
re: trix
I shouldn't equate the large Baltimore paper reviews to the Gazette paper here in the DC burbs, but I'm going to for the sake of argument. This paper has a huge circulation so it deserves a better quality restaurant reviewer(s). Nothing about these reviews is intended to be an true culinary evaluation. I feel that reviews are basically intended as future advertising revenue, if all goes well.
The byline on the weekly review is "MJ Pleasure" which is bad enough, and it appears that the column isn't written by the same critics every week. There is one lone voice (not printed often enough, IMO) that seems to know food and tries to be real, but almost every other "review" seems to be only a regurgitation of the exact language on the restaurant's menu. They are often completely ignorant of a cuisine (a favorite was the person who mentioned that pickles seemed to be a "silly" item on the Cuban sub they sampled).
The integrity of a "review" is often compromised when a paper is banking on advertising revenue (or other factors). We would all hope for informed knowledge and integrity from our news sources. It doesn't always happen that way, though.
re: trix
I like reading the reviews, but then again, I also like reading the Sun paper, and I think many of the articles in the Sun paper are as accurate about their subject matter as the food reviews are to the restaurant. I get a particular kick out of the regular Sun reviewer, who seems to have a thing for Steve DeCastro since she has given all of his restaurants four stars (to my knowledge).
Having said all that, the one good thing about the review is that they do inform me of restaurants that otherwise might not hit my radar screen, and by at least describing the dishes and the prices, I can get some idea of whether or not I'd want to go there. Probably the most recent example of this is Britton's, of which I'm sure I would have never heard if not for the food reviewer in whatever paper I saw.
re: dbutcher
Interesting hearing other opinions on Fazzini's.
I went there for lunch last weekend for the first time in about two years, and thought it was great. The pasta was well prepared and the marinara sauce was the same as I had always enjoyed in the past. If you don't like their sauce, you won't like the place. If people didn't have different tastes, there wouldn't be 5 million varieties of Ragu for sale. Service is pretty poor, but the place isn't exactly Boccacio's.
For a cheap plate of pasta - I'm still a fan of Fazzini's.
ooh, fun! eatin' cheap, my favorite activity!
pete's grille -- fantastic homemade diner food (what diner food is SUPPOSED to taste like), including hot turkey sandwiches or platters with homemade stuffing where the turkey is carved from an actual bird! best home fries in the universe. impossible to spend more than $15 for two people to eat here.
theresa's deli in broadway market -- IMHO, jimmy's can't hold a candle to theresa's. once again, great homemade chow -- the soups are astonishing, breakfasts sublime, hand-formed 1/4lb burgers -- cheap cheap cheap, and much less crowded than jimmy's.
imperial gourmet -- my dirty little secret: AYCE chinese. shoot, there's just so little good chinese around here that when i get the craving this is where i go. food is cheap, fresh and mostly good (avoid the "american" food bar!) with plenty o' little treats, like chinese bitter greens in black bean sauce, taro dumplings, crispy fish...
sobo cafe -- upscale ambitions, reasonable prices, great mac'n'cheese but also more interesting dishes like roasted pork loin in calvados reduction, entree prices right around $10 mark, also inexpensive wines.
and so many more! baltimore is just loaded with wonderful little gems, cheap but wonderful eateries, one of the factors that makes this the land of pleasant living!
big seconds to andy nelson, golden west, and most of the other places everyone mentioned. now i'm hungry...
1) Apicella's Osteria. The Caprese sandwich (fresh buffalo mozzarella, basil, tomatoes and olive oil on their crusty sub roll) is the best.
2) Attmans Deli. Corned beef, swiss cheese on rye. And still enough left over for the western fries.
3) Duda's tavern.Crabcake sandwich. I think it's a little bit more than $10, but still very tasty.
Oh, these are great. Thanks all. I'm making a list and plan to try everything that I haven't already made it to.
I'm a big fan of Fazzinis, although I try not to eat there too often because of the huge calorie count. The Italian steak sub with roasted peppers, onions and mozzarella is one of the best things I've ever eaten.
peckish, if you decide to make it to Andy Nelson's on a weekday, email me and I'll meet you there, since I work in the area - lunch or dinner, it doesn't matter. It's one of those places that really is as good as everyone says it is.

No Strings Attached: Best Laceless Boots for Guys
It's easy to understand the appeal of laceless boots for guys – they're comfortable and no-nonsense, not to mention easy to put on. But today's low-cut pull-ons are also surprisingly sophisticated. "We create boots that should be an everyday shoe for any occasion," says Roger Orozco, designer for the California-based Bed|Stü. That means you can wear them to a party with your favorite boot-cut jeans, or use them to spiff up your work casual. Tip: Spray your boots with a suede protector like ReviveX. The more mottled they get, the less versatile they become. Launch Gallery >>

NY Times Loses Star Tech Writer Pogue To Yahoo
Yahoo has apparently lured star tech journalist David Pogue away from the NY Times. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer posted the news on Tumblr this morning:
I am thrilled to announce that award-winning columnist, best-selling author, and TV host David Pogue will be joining Yahoo. David will lead a major expansion of consumer tech coverage on Yahoo and will publish columns, blog posts and video stories that demystify the gadgets, apps and technology that power our users' daily lives.
Yahoo is in a unique position to bring to life great editorial about the technology consumers are using every day.
While it's not 100 percent clear from the press materials and the Tumblr post, it appears that Pogue is leaving the NY Times. Either Pogue was given an offer he couldn't refuse or he was having "issues" with the Times or both.
This is a loss for the Times. Indeed, it would be interesting to know what the offer was from Yahoo.
As Mayer's post indicates, Pogue's hiring should be seen in the context of Yahoo's larger and expanding content strategy. Pogue is a marquee name that will attract attention, prestige and maybe some additional traffic to Yahoo News.

As far back as the 1920s, evidence of schistosomiasis was detected in mummies from the Nile River region, but only in recent years did the analysis of the antigens and antibodies of some of the individuals become possible.
This latest study tested desiccated tissue samples from two Nubian populations for S. mansoni. The Kulubnarti population lived about 1,200 years ago, during an era when Nile flooding was at its highest average known height, and archaeological evidence for irrigation is lacking. The Wadi Halfa population lived further south along the Nile, about 1,500 years ago, when the average heights of the river were lower. Archeological evidence indicates that the Wadi Halfa used canal irrigation to sustain multiple crops.
The analysis of tissue samples showed that 25 percent of the Wali Halfi population in the study were infected with S. mansoni, while only 9 percent of the Kulubnarti were infected.
The standing water collected by irrigation canals is particularly favorable to the type of snail that spreads the S. mansoni infection. Another form of the disease, Schistosoma haematobium, is spread by snails that prefer to live in more oxygenated, free-flowing water.
"Previously, it was generally assumed that in ancient populations schistosomiasis was primarily caused by S. haematobium, and that S. mansoni didn't become prevalent until Europeans appeared on the scene and introduced intensive irrigation schemes," Campbell Hibbs says. "That's a sort of Euro-centric view of what's going on in Africa, assuming that more advanced technology is needed to control the elements, and that irrigation conducted in a more traditional way doesn't have a big influence on the environment."

More than 800 Orange County Girl Scouts descended on the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum on March 16 to celebrate the 102nd birthday of both the Girl Scouts and First Lady Pat Nixon. Nixon served as honorary president of the Girl Scouts of America during her husband's terms as president, like all first ladies since Lou Henry Hoover, and she was also a Girl Scout troop leader.
The event began with an opening ceremony on the library's front steps, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony and a canned food collection for the Yorba Linda Food Bank. At the event, which had a "Candyland" theme, Girl Scouts made treats like "armpit fudge" and enjoyed a scavenger hunt and birthday cake. They also had the opportunity to meet Juliette Low (an impersonator of the founder of Girl Scouts), climb aboard the presidential helicopter, attend a musical program by Stand Up Acting Academy, and dance their hearts out to songs like "Let it Go" on the library's lawn.

'Love Comes In Every Shade' At the Gap
This holiday season, Gap's new campaign, "Love Comes In Every Shade," celebrates the colorful, optimistic holiday product Gap is known for and celebrates some of the many forms of love.
Wearing their must-have gifts of the season in a range of colors, the campaign features a diverse group of actors, musicians and their loved ones. Each group represents a different relationship, including true love with actors Michael J. Fox and wife Tracy Pollan; fatherly love with rapper Nas and his father, blues musician Olu Dara; modern love with the cast of NBC's "The New Normal"; self love with actress Aubrey Plaza; puppy love with actor Jack Huston and his dog Orso; best friend love with directorGia Coppola and actress Nathalie Love; and married love with musician Rufus Wainwright and artistic director Jörn Weisbrodt.
"This campaign features some well-known actors, musicians and their loved ones, all wearing clothes from our new holiday collection," said Seth Farbman, Gap's Global Chief Marketing Officer. "Their personal relationships help remind us that every family is unique and often goes beyond just those we're related to—it also includes the people we share our lives and deepest passions with. This campaign celebrates these diverse, optimistic views on family and the many forms love can take."
Sharing the Love
As part of the campaign in the U.S. and Canada, Gap is spreading love digitally through partnerships with online communities Postagram and Pinterest. Starting November 7, consumers can visit Postagram's Facebook app to turn their photos from Facebook, Instagram and elsewhere into real postcards that will be mailed to their loved ones at no cost, courtesy of Gap. Then on November 12, users who pin Gap's favorite holiday items to their Pinterest wish lists through an app on Gap's Facebookpage will be automatically entered to win a Gap gift card. Five winners will be selected each week through December 24.
Styld.by, Gap's digital catalog collaboration with well-respected fashion and lifestyle websites, continues with new content for the holiday gifting season. Each Styld.by partner, including Refinery29, WhoWhatWear, Lookbook and Rue, will curate holiday gift guides from their own point of view. The gift guides will be based on different personality types, like 'For My BFF' and 'For My Skater' and utilize pieces from the Winter Icons collection alongside other covetable gift ideas specific to each personality.
The campaign will also appear in December issues of national magazines including Vogue, Lucky, InStyle, Glamour, People StyleWatch and Vanity Fair; outdoor in key markets including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago; and in digital advertisements. To follow the content, visit Gap's Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram communities and join the conversation with the hashtag #GapLove.
Give Twice Gift Card
Gap is also introducing a new gift card program where a percentage of all initial gift card purchases will be donated to nonprofit organizations CARE and Communities In Schools. Donations to CARE, a leading humanitarian organization, will in part support P.A.C.E. (Personal Advancement & Career Enhancement), a program developed by Gap Inc. in 2007. P.A.C.E. provides female garment workers in countries around the world with education and training to better their lives. Donations to Communities In Schools will help keep more than one million kids in school and on track to a brighter future. Gap commissioned a hand-selected group of artists and illustrators to create one-of-a-kind graphic designs for the gift card envelopes and substantially increased the size of the packaging to make it feel more like a gift.
Holiday 2012 Collection
Building upon its fall Icon Redefined collection, key styles return for holiday in the Winter Icon collection updated with fresh pops of color and colorblocked patterns. For women, cozy outerwear and sweaters are the focus, including the Twill Parka ($168)and Eversoft Sweaters ($39.95 - $59.95). Made from our softest wash-and-wear yarns, the Eversoft Sweaters are available in a range of energetic shades and silhouettes, including circle hem, cardigan and hoodie styles. A fall favorite, the Fitted Boyfriend Shirt ($49.95 - $54.95) returns for holiday in updated hues and patterns.

The men's collection also incorporates color into jeans, cords and khakis paired with color-infused tops, waffle knit sweaters, and outerwear that mix and match to create a full winter wardrobe. Standout bottoms include the 1969 Straight Fit Corduroy Jeans($59.95) available in a range of color-ways including the bordeaux and navy, and the Lived-In Slim Khaki ($59.95) in raw sienna and turquoise sky. Bottoms are shown with the Half Zip Waffle Sweater ($54.95) updated for holiday in a warm wool blend and the Lived-In Wash Shirts ($44.95-49.95) available in modern plaids and basic neutrals.
