|Lapis-lazuli was known in ancient times and was highly prized. The earliest published use of the name lapis-lazuli appears to be from 1636 by Anselmus Boetus de Boodt in Gemmarum et Lapidum Historia. page 273. The name is said to be derived from the Latin 'Lapis' and the persian 'Lazhward', meaning Blue. The name should be pronounced 'Lap-is Laz-u-lee'
The name Lapis Lazuli has been used both to describe the blue mineral previously known as lazurite (but in most cases is actually a S-rich variety of Hauyne) and the rock that is made up predominantly of this mineral plus calcite, pyrite and other minerals. In general today the name Lapis Lazuli is used to describe the material used as a decorative stone (ie, the rock) rather than the mineral component. The localities listed here are localities where this decorative stone has been reported.
Worldwide, virtually all of the lapis-lazuli occurrences have hauyne, vladimirivanovite, afghanite, etc. The species lazurite is actually ultra-rare and virtually no valid specimens are known to contain true lazurite. By far, the greatest number of lapis-lazuli specimens contain hauyne as the deep blue component. Lapis-lazuli is mined and carved as a decorative stone, this rock has a distinctive blue colour. Lapis Lazuli historically came from Lapis-lazuli mines and occurrences, near Sar-e-Sang, Badakhshan (Badakshan; Badahsan) Province, Afghanistan.

Makes 6 to 8 side-dish servings
Active time: 1 hr Start to finish: 1 1/2 hr
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 lb cabbage, cored and cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices (4 cups)
- 1 lb kale, stems and center ribs removed and leaves coarsely chopped (12 cups)
- 1/2 lb carrots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups fine fresh or dried bread crumbs, preferably whole wheat
- 7 oz firm tofu
- 1 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Sauté vegetables:
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Heat oil in a deep 12- to 14-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and add cabbage, kale, carrots, water, soy sauce, and salt. (Skillet will be full, but volume will reduce as vegetables steam.) Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish.

Buying Tickets Early as a Member
Become a Western Folklife Center Member: Purchase Tickets Early and MORE
Tickets for the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering are on sale starting at 9:00 am Pacific Time on September 2, 2014, for members only: one month earlier than non-members. Remember, if you are a part of our Stakeholder program, you will also need to be a member to take part in early ticket sales.
Western Folklife Center members, the ticket button is now activated. Remember that to view or set up your account early, and to purchase tickets and Day or Deluxe Passes online as a member beginning September 2 or at the time you go online to purchase them, you will need to be a member in good standing—within the week prior to ticket sales— and to know your member level. You will also need the following information exactly as it shows on the mailing label of your brochure: Last Name and City of Residence, with no abbreviations.
Check your membership level benefits here.
Again, prior to purchasing tickets, we ask that you please check your membership to ensure it is active, and for the benefits level and the amount of tickets you may purchase for shows. Be sure to join or renew your membership prior to Thursday, August 28, 2014; if you are not a valid member by this date, you must call in your order to 775.738.7508 (in Elko or outside the U.S.) or toll free 888-880-5885, as our online ticketing system will not recognize you as a member.
Please note, your membership benefits do not include a Day or Deluxe Pass for the Gathering. However, in addition to buying tickets early, members of the Western Folklife Center can request free tickets to one of the two Members' Shows. The number of free Members' Show tickets varies with membership level. Tickets can be requested for one or the other of the two Members' Shows, or for levels with multiple tickets, you can request to split them between the shows. Non-members can purchase tickets to these shows for $40; the same price as a Friend-level membership in the Western Folklife Center. Members' Show tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Click here for more membership information.
Exclusively, members are invited to attend the Opening Reception celebrating the new exhibition in the Wiegand Gallery that will premiere in Elko for the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering.

How does it benefit my student?
If your student takes a class redesigned through IMPACT, s/he will benefit from a "student-centered" course that is more active than traditionally taught classes. Research has shown that more active courses help students retain learning better.
Will it raise their grade?
Not necessarily, but it will increase their knowledge retention and improve their study skills, which will provide benefits through the rest of their college career. In addition, many courses involve extensive group work, which will give them teamwork experience that will improve their job skills.
What classes are being redesigned?
There are 30 classes redesigned every academic year. You can find more information under the faculty tab.
What is a typical course redesign like?
Traditionally, much of the instruction given in large enrollment courses is lecture-based and takes place in large lecture halls. IMPACT seeks to make courses student-centric, replacing the large lecture with group work and active learning. Technology often plays an important part in these new courses.
Won't my student learn more being taught by the professor than by working in groups?
Students still learn material in the course from their professor, just not necessarily in the same format. They may view their professor's online lectures in addition to short in-class lectures. Students working together to solve problems is one of the most effective ways for today's social students to learn.
Why are these classes being redesigned?
Although students and the way they learn has changed tremendously with the advent of new technology, the way courses are taught in higher education is still basically the same as it was 500 years ago. These redesigns incorporate new knowledge about pedagogy and new instructional technology.
What about my student's other courses? If they haven't been redesigned, are they not as good?
One of the benefits of students attending a redesigned course is that it improves their learning skills for all of their courses.
Does my money go into this initiative?
No, you are not paying extra for your students to take a redesigned course.
I have more questions; is there someone I can talk to?

|Home > PRODUCTS > Advantage Multi® for Dogs > About Parasites
As a responsible pet owner, one of your main goals is to keep your pet healthy. Every dog, whether or not they spend a lot of time outdoors, can become the host to a number of parasites. It is not unusual for a dog to become infected with multiple types of external and internal parasites in their lifetime.
Heartworms, fleas and intestinal parasites can cause severe discomfort and health problems to the infected pet. Fortunately, these parasites are easy to control, treat, and/or prevent.
Heartworm disease is a potentially fatal disease affecting dogs in all 50 states. The American Heartworm Society (AHS) suggests a conservative estimate of one million positive cases in the U.S. each year.1
Although preventable, dogs continue to suffer from this life threatening disease.
Heartworm disease is transmitted via infected mosquitoes. Once an infected mosquito bites a dog, microscopic larvae migrate through the mosquito bite into body tissues and find their way to the blood stream, eventually maturing in the lungs and heart. Heartworm infections can progress to life-threatening heart disease.
Treatment of heartworm disease is a long and costly process. Adult heartworms can be killed using adulticide medication, but it requires multiple injections over 30 days that may require hospital stays. Your veterinarian may also recommend strict exercise restrictions.
Without treatment, the disease may progress, leading to increasingly severe health conditions and even cardiac failure/death.
Fleas are the most common parasite affecting dogs and puppies. In just 30 days, 10 fleas can become an infestation of up to 250,000 adult fleas on your pet and in your home.3
Besides the discomfort of flea bites, fleas can cause medical problems in pets including Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD), which can lead to hair loss, skin inflammation and irritation. In large numbers, fleas can cause anemia from blood loss which can be fatal if your pet is young or feeble. Also, fleas are carriers of a common tapeworm, which can cause cramping and gas.
There are a number of intestinal parasites that can infect dogs including:
The problem with intestinal parasites is that you cannot always see them. And for the most part, your pet can carry on with life without any real impact on its health. Some of the common worms that can infect your pet are:
Dogs can become infected with roundworms by eating soil or feces contaminated with eggs or by eating infected hosts such as mice or birds. If the problem is serious your dog may vomit these worms or pass them (whole) in the stool. In addition to causing vomiting and diarrhea, roundworms in your dog, especially on puppy may cause them to look bloated or 'potbellied'. They also cause loss of energy and poor condition.
These intestinal parasites can cause anemia (and sometimes death) in puppies as they attach to the intestine and suck blood. Dogs are infected by ingesting larvae from contaminated areas, via the mother's milk or when larvae penetrates the skin.
Dogs can become infected when ingesting contaminated eggs in their environment, much like with roundworms. The eggs are very resistant to temperature and environmental extremes. They can live in the environment for 4 to 5 years! Whipworm infections can cause severe diarrhea, intestinal blockage and weight loss.
Dogs can become infected by swallowing fleas while grooming. They can be seen externally when segments break off. These segments vary in length, are usually white and can be seen contracting and expanding around the rectum. These segments then die and you might spot what looks like grains of uncooked wild rice or sesame seeds on your puppy bedding. Tapeworms can cause irritation and cause dogs to "scoot" their rear-end along the ground. They also cause weight loss, diarrhea and a dull coat. Go to the CDC website to see how your pet's parasites could affect your health.
The Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) recommends year-round treatment with heartworm preventatives that have broad-spectrum activity against intestinal worms and year-round flea preventatives. Advantage Multi® for Dogs (imidacloprid + moxidectin) Topical Solution helps provide this recommended standard of care in one convenient topical application. Consult your veterinarian to develop a total pet parasite protection program that's right for your pet.
*Advantage Multi® for Dogs is not indicated for tapeworms. Please consult your veterinarian for treatment options.
Not for human use. Keep out of reach of children. Children should not come in contact with the application site for two (2) hours after application.

|Yes, you've definitely got a Sadleria there at last, Pat. But even though the overwhelming probability is that it is indeed S.cyatheoides, we'd need to see more photos to eliminate the faint possibility it's one of the other five species in this Hawaiian genus. Can you post an overall shot of the plant, a close-up of the topside of a pinna, plus a tighter crown/stipe view as well?
But it's good news you've found a Sadleria. How did you manage to track one down, Pat?
- Posted by houstonpat 9a (My Page) on Wed, Nov 14, 07 at 15:13
|Will get those photos on soon. Well, I didn't get a plant. I only got the spore. Went to the source. High rainforest on the Big Island of Hawaii. I couln't find any Sadleria in nurseries there and wasn't equiped to saw one off, transport it etc.

|Uttlerly fantastic photos, Pat - the best I've ever seen for this lovely species. That's screamingly right for Sadleria cyatheoides - you've nailed it at last. I know it's a Blechnum-like Hawaiian genus all of its own, but I like to think of Sadleria as a 'pocket' Cibotium and maybe the most realistic and convenient way for most of us temperate types to get into this style of fern. I just love 'em!
- Posted by houstonpat 9a (My Page) on Thu, Nov 15, 07 at 18:06
|Many thanks Stephen. Just trying out my new camera on a trip last week. I'll post more photos of in situ ferns this weekend.
|Pat,on the cloudforest.com plantboard,scroll down to 'tropical Portrero Hill garden' and in the fourth photo behind a gunnera is a 22 year old Sadleria growing outdoors in cool San Francisco-it's enormous for a plant that took low 20's in 1990 and about freezing in 98 and possibly the this last winter.

Those are just fantastic Pat. I guess that blows away the notion these are "small" ferns.

Who needs Advil? Not Zen meditators. Turns out, meditation can give you the superhero-like ability to control your mind -- and increase your tolerance to pain. New research, published in the journal Pain, shows that when people who meditate are subjected to painful stimuli, like being prodded with a hot needle, they feel it just like the rest of us non-meditating mortals would, but it doesn't hurt them as much. (Good thing Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice wasn't Buddhist, or we might have to rethink that whole "if you prick us, do we not bleed" speech). The reason it doesn't smart so much: They process the sensation in a different area of the brain. So while meditators are aware of the physical feeling, it somehow bypasses the mind's pain center and gets translated into something much more benign.
Past research has shown that people who meditate have fewer symptoms of pain, but scientists have been unclear how this was possible. To study this, researchers from the University of Montreal poked and prodded 13 meditators and 13 non-meditators with hot instruments, while analyzing their brain activity with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). As expected, they found that those with the most meditation experience showed the least reactions to pain. Meditators had less activity in the brain areas responsible for thought, emotion and memory, and showed less communication between the part of the brain that senses pain and the area that analyzes and interprets it. In layman's terms: The brain only kind of hinted to the body that it was supposed to hurt.
According to the study's senior author, Pierre Rainville, a researcher at the University of Montreal, their findings cast new light on what happens to the brain during meditation. Whereas experts believed emotions and thoughts were controlled through increased mental effort, they found that the opposite appears to be true -- that meditation practitioners are able to regulate their thoughts and emotions by turning off certain areas of the brain. "The results suggest that Zen meditators may have … an ability to disengage some higher-order brain processes, while still experiencing the stimulus," Rainville said in a written statement.
If you suffer from chronic pain -- or just want superhuman mind control, here's how to begin Zen meditation. Sit in a comfortable, upright position. Lower your eyes and gaze at the floor a few feet ahead of you. Breathing through your nose, count each breath cycle. When you reach 10, start over. Counting and concentrating on your breath helps keep your mind from wandering. Your goal is to be able to let go of your thoughts and simply focus on being in the present moment. If you catch your mind wandering, don't beat yourself up. Just acknowledge it and return to your breath. Besides alleviating pain, regular meditation can also help reduce stress, depression, anxiety, and may even boost the immune system. It practically has all the benefits of exercise, without moving a muscle.
While this is all great news for people who suffer from chronic pain and want to experiment with meditation, the question I'm left with is, what does pain feel like if it doesn't hurt? Something tells me it's similar to the sound of one hand clapping.
Have you ever tried meditation? Chime in below!

Hi Everyone,
I've been on 5 dates and we really chat up a storm! We have different cultural backgrounds which I think influences how we date. He's from a middle-eastern country where there is regulation of relationships between the sexes. I'm American but lived in a moderate muslim culture before, so I do expect someone who is serious about a relationship to move slower and I'm ok with that. I know he feels kisses are for affection and can't sleep with someone he doesn't care about. (That's good).
On our first few dates he shook my hand so I decided to hug him at the end :) That worked because I got a big hello hug on the fourth date. He also took my hand with no further prompting on the fourth date. We meet weekly so it's been a month, and lately have been in touch more by phone. He's vacationing abroad, and sent me a text before boarding and made sure to send me a Merry Christmas, some photos from his trip so far and to tell me he wishes I was there with him. I didn't expect that actually.
There has been no kiss yet. On one hand I have moved from feeling relieved that he obviously isn't only interested in something physical to ok...let's test those waters since we have have plans to go places and see things all the way to the summer! I'd like to find a way to approach what his dating goals are and how to tastefully show him that I'm interested in more affection. Question: Should I just kiss on the cheek next time I see him and see how he reacts? I feel that a kiss can tell you if there is romantic chemistry. It's hard to tell with a guy who doesn't flirt or is not very touchy. I think that is a cultural difference maybe.
His profile says dating is set to the category "wants to date but nothing serious" but he writes that there should be no rush and let things evolve to create a more solid relationship. I haven't asked him about his dating goals because I thought that was part of the exclusivity talk. I think it's too early for that talk, but I've also never met a man who openly is thinking ahead and involving me in that future...but who isn't flirty. But we have good conversations. I'm confused. He introduced me to his good female friend from his country and her husband on our second date.
Question: I'm curious if I should be dating other men or not. It occured to me that because our cultures date in different ways, that he may not be dating anyone else whereas I'm going on first dates still and I'm not sure how he will react if that came out. His profile leads me to think I shouldn't expect a relationship but his actions paint the opposite picture. I'd like to tastefully inquire and could use some advice so I can decide if I should continue meeting other men because my relationship goal is to meet a potential partner.
** I use the term relationship goals becasue at we are 31 not teens

June 22, 2012
PRINCETON, N.J. – USRowing is pleased to announce the final three crews that will represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, pending final approval by the United States Olympic Committee.
The women's eight will consist of coxswain Mary Whipple (Orangevale, Calif.), Caryn Davies (Ithaca, N.Y.), Caroline Lind (Greensboro, N.C.), Eleanor Logan (Boothbay Harbor, Maine), Meghan Musnicki (Naples, N.Y.), Taylor Ritzel (Larkspur, Colo.), Erin Cafaro (Modesto, Calif.), Esther Lofgren (Newport Beach, Calif.) and Susan Francia (Abington, Pa.).
Six athletes – Whipple, Davies, Lind, Logan, Francia and Cafaro – return from the crew that won gold at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. The U.S. women's eight is the six-time defending world champions in the event. Last month at the second 2012 World Rowing Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland, the U.S. won gold and set a new world best time (5:54.17), besting the previous world best time of 5:55.50, set by the U.S. in 2006, by more than a second.
In the women's quadruple sculls, Adrienne Martelli (University Place, Wash.), Kara Kohler (Clayton, Calif.), Megan Kalmoe (St. Croix Falls, Wis.) and Natalie Dell (Clearville, Pa.) will represent the U.S.
Kalmoe, who finished fifth in the double sculls in Beijing, won silver in the quad with Martelli and Dell at the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled, Slovenia. Kohler was a member of the women's four that won gold in Bled. The men's quadruple sculls lineup consists of Alex Osborne (Sherman Oaks, Calif.), Peter Graves (Cincinnati, Ohio), Elliot Hovey (Manchester-By-The-Sea, Mass.) and Wes Piermarini (West Brookfield, Mass.).
Hovey and Piermarini return from the Beijing double sculls that finished 13th at the 2008 Olympic Games. Graves competed in the men's double sculls at last year's world championships, while Osborne was in the men's eight that finished eighth.
Selection for the women's eight and men's and women's quads was determined based on lineup evaluations, national selection regatta results and training camp performance in Princeton, N.J., and Chula Vista, Calif., under U.S. head coaches Tom Terhaar and Tim McLaren.
In total, 12 crews will represent the United States July 28-August 5 at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. For more information about important USRowing dates, the 2012 Olympic Games selection process and Olympic athlete bios, visit www.usrowing.org.

Hospitals are ready to take on the challenges presented by changing health care landscape
One hundred and forty representatives recently urged House appropriators to reject the president's "woefully inadequate" fiscal year (FY) 2013 budget request of $88 million for the Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) program, which trains medical residents.
"In FY 2012 Congress continued its long history of bipartisan support for CHGME by appropriating funding for CHGME at $265 million," they wrote House Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Chairman Denny Rehberg, R-MT, and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-CT, the panel's ranking member. But the president's proposed funding level for FY 2013 would "put at risk the gains that have been achieved under CHGME and threaten the pediatric workforce pipeline," the lawmakers said in their March 20 letter. "Even at CHGME's current annual funding level, children's hospitals struggle to train enough pediatricians and pediatric specialists to keep up with the growing demand."
While less than 1% of all hospitals, those hospitals that receive CHGME funding train more than 45% of general pediatricians and 51% of pediatric specialists, the letter noted. They also train nearly 45% of the nation's 38,000 pediatric subspecialists. Also, more than 60% of the nation's pediatric emergency physicians and all pediatric surgeons are trained in children's hospitals receiving CHGME support.
Fifty-six freestanding children's hospitals in 30 states participate in CHGME, created by Congress in 2000 to support graduate medical education programs at children's hospitals that train resident physicians, enhance research capabilities and care for poor and medically underserved children in rural and inner-city areas.
The CHGME program was intended to offer these hospitals a more level playing field with the teaching hospitals that treat adults and receive similar GME funding under Medicare. Unlike Medicare's GME program, CHGME operates under an annual appropriation from Congress, making it more vulnerable to potentially deep cuts or zero funding.
The number of residents trained at children's teaching hospitals had declined by 13% during the 1990s, the decade before Congress enacted CHGME. During the program's first decade of operation – from 2000 to 2009 – the number of residents in training rose by 35%.
The House lawmakers called the program a "critical investment in our country's medical workforce and in our children."
Read the lawmakers' letter by going to "Advocacy Issues" at www.aha.org, scrolling to "Tools & Resources" and clicking on "Letters."

With Pippin, I got to play with color and scale to make something whimsical and fun. I have to admit… I kind of want one in my size. Read more

In August 2011, Ohio Northern University's academic calendar will switch from quarters to semesters. The University's administration and faculty believe this change will improve ONU's already excellent programs of instruction and provide our student with even greater learning opportunities. Yet, we realize that the transition to semesters raises questions for our students and their parents. I want to assure you therefore that Ohio Northern is working to make the transition as seamless as possible.
Students currently enrolled under the quarter system will continue to work toward graduation requirements using course substitutions and waivers as necessary. Every student will have an individualized transition advising plan to ensure that all students who are on track to graduate by a specific date in the quarter system will still be able to do so on the semester system. That is, the switch to semesters should not impede a student's progress toward his or her expected graduation date. As always, the student must maintain his or her course load, meet grade requirements, meet agreed goals and satisfy graduation requirements.

Posted by Nicole
In case you missed it, here are my notes from last week. In addition, I will be posting the notes on our Fitness page!
All notes come from my class lectures:
Exercise Science 202 — Principles of Nutrition and Exercise
- Running: 100
- Walking: 80
- Cycling: ~20-25
- Swimming: ~300-600+
- Aerobics (moderate impact): ~100/10 minutes
According to my professor, "the idea of rest days is ridiculous, unless you are an extreme athlete or doing debilitating exercises." Relative to the total calorie expenditure that a person has in one day, the calories burned from exercising aren't that taxing on the body. People burn calories through exercise, but this is generally only <15% of their total calories burned in a day. Unless you are burning a TON of calories in a day, resting isn't as necessary as people perceive it to be.
(He mentioned a marathon runner that goes running the day after a race. Personally, if I ever ran a marathon, I would NOT be running the day after… Maybe that is just me though.)
Some of the Top 10 physical activities include bowling, billiards, golf, and fishing. These "activities" do burn calories, but not enough to keep up with the amount of food we are consuming nowadays.
Fidgeting can actually burn 200-300 calories per day. Studies show that obese people tend to be more sedentary when they sit. They are less likely to fidget than someone of a normal body weight.
Caloric Equivalents of Food (Caloric Density)
- Fat — 9.1 cal/g — 4100 cal/lb
- Protein — 4.0 cal/g — 1800 cal/lb
- Carbohydrates — 4.0 cal/g — 1800 cal/lb
- Alcohol — 7.0 cal/g — 3500 cal/lb
Vodka, for example, is about 50% alcohol (or less). A 2 oz. shot would then contain 1 oz. of pure alcohol. This equates to 196 calories from alcohol. Basically, this is equivalent to running 2 miles.
The bottom-line lesson: A shot or a beer is about 100 calories. Which is the same as running a mile. (This is frustrating.)
Obesity was not an epidemic in the 1970s. Nowadays, fast food has taken over. McDonalds has made it a mission to keep Americans within 7 minutes of a McDonalds restaurant. McDonalds has started offering healthy alternative menu items, mostly in response to attempted lawsuits during which obese people blame McDonalds for their weight gain.
- A large fry is 500-600 calories
- A Big Mac consists of 50-60% calories from fat
- They use to offer a typical meal that consisted of fries, a Coke, and a burger for about 500 calories.
- Nowadays, a kid's meal exceeds 500 calories.
Food companies are taking into account taste, texture, and cost. Care for the consumer's health has essentially gone out the door.
There is an inverse relationship between time spent eating and obesity. WHY? Fast food.
The bottom-line lesson: The faster people eat, the more likely they are to be obese.
It's not all the producers fault though– consumers are getting lazy and they aren't reading labels. Today, being at a normal weight puts you in the minority.
With the unhealthy quality of available foods, people's tastebuds are getting used to certain foods.
- In a blind taste test, participants preferred canned Campbell's soup over a homemade variety of soup. WHY? Salt. Fat. Sugar.
Calories are so present in society that people need to be mindful of what they are eating. Life isn't as easy anymore and it is the consumer's responsibility to monitor intake.
- Each little butter packet is 100 calories. Those add up.
- Eating two packets of butter will quickly counter the calories burned from running of 2 miles.
Last random fact: People tend to fluctuate 2-3 lbs of weight in a given day.
Q4U: Are you a fidgeter?
Q4U: Are you a label reader?

Love this post! And I absolutely would not run (or move!) the day after a marathon. I have friends who are like that. They'll do a triathlon or a marathon and run 10 miles the next day. Really??
The info on the kids meals just grosses me out. It's so sad that so many parents feed that to their children on a daily basis.
kristinerunningonhungry says:
Seriously wish I was back in college and taking this class – SO interesting and such useful information!
Pleeease keep these comin!
Sugar Coated Sisters says:
I definitely will! I'm happy that people actually find this information interesting!
movesnmunchies says:
i actually am aa fidgeter!… wWO! alcohol is loaded with cals.. DAMMIT
ps.. LOVE THESE post- keep doin em!
Tara says:
I am loving these posts! I can see why the idea of a rest day is ridiculous for someone who is exercising for weight maintenance. I think for performance though if I can prevent myself from being sore for a race, I will take a rest day if I need to! I had no idea that fidgeting burned so many calories! I'm not much of a fidgeter though, so it doesn't make a difference for me!
foodsweatandbeers says:
Note to self: Ultra Marathon Runners can get Wiggity Wasted and think not of the calories.
But really, this is very interesting, especially the idea of rest days being ridiculous. Then again, I think, for me at least, the rest day is more for my mental stability than to actually rest "my ol' bones".

Should you pull out your child's baby tooth or wait?
My six year old's front tooth has been very loose for almost two months. The gum bleeds occasionally and she can really wobble the tooth with her fingers and tongue. Should I just give it a good yank and get it out or wait for it to fall out by itself?Question:
It sounds to me like the tooth is loose enough that you could carefully remove it yourself.
If you have some mouthwash, such as Scope, Listerine or Ambesol, you can rub some on the gum around the loose tooth with a clean Q-tip to numb the area a little. It also helps to use a clean tissue to grasp the tooth after you have washed your hands with soap and warm water. Quickly twist the tooth as you pull it straight up (or straight down if it is an upper tooth).
If the tooth is not removed easily using this technique, then you should visit your dentist. If any bleeding occurs, apply some pressure for a few minutes.Answer:

Javan Gibbon
|Scientific Name
|Hylobates moloch
|1.4 to 2 feet (45-64 cm)
|11-20 pounds (5-9 kg)
|Life span
|35 years in wild; up to 50 years in captivity
|7 months
|Number of young
|1 at a time
|Age of maturity
|6 to 7 years
|Conservation status
Swingin in the rain
Javan gibbons live in the rain forest regions of Java, which is an island in Indonesia. At the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, you'll find the Javan Gibbon in the Indonesia Rainforest. Makes sense, huh?
What helps them get around?
Like all gibbons, Javan gibbons have very long forelimbs, long fingers and shorter thumbs which make them great brachiators. That means they swing between branches in trees.
They're so fluffy!!!
Javan Gibbons have a fluffy appearance because of their very dense and long silvery-grey fur.
It's a family thing
Family groups are made up of a male and female and up to three juvenile offspring.
Controlling their turf
Like other gibbons, their territory is maintained by patrols, physical conflict and loud calling. Often, the male and female pair will sing together, creating a sort of musical duet in the forest.
Note: The Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is one of only two zoos in North America to exhibit this rare species. The other is the Greensboro Science Center in North Carolina.

Chicken Cordon Blue......My way
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 04-12-2003 - 10:19am
Two slices of smoked deli ham per chicken breast.
One slice of Provolone cheese per breast.
Two slices of Swiss cheese per breast. (one more per breast if your family likes theirs cheesier)
(cheating) One box of chicken flavored stuffing mix.
One can of cream of mushroom (cream of chicken) soup...I preffer the mushroom, but will substitute if I'm out of it.
Chicken seasonings.....I use a pre mixed blend...to taste.
Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees.
Start out by butterflying each breast while getting the stuffing mix water, butter, and such done.....You will get that finished by the time you are ready for it.
Next, lay onto each opened breast, the ham, provolone, then swiss cheeses, and fold together to create a pocket. Do all breasts as such, then using a fork, place enough stuffing into that pocket of fill it, placing them into a baking pan...for my family this is a 9 by 13 inch cake pan. Once all breasts are in the pan, use the remaining stuffing to fill between the hollows left between the assembled breasts, then cover with the soup. Don't use any water in the soup, as it will pick up the moisture from the cooking. Push the soup mixture into and around the hollow areas, yet leaving a bit on top of the chicken. Season to taste. Cover and bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees. Now, if your family likes things a bit more cheesy, as mine does, I pull the meal out of the oven, remove the cover, and place a piece of swiss cheese over each breast, returning to the oven for 10 more minutes uncovered.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, using a spatula, remove one breast per portion, then scoop a bit of the left over stuffing/cheese/soup over the portion. Serve with your favorite green vegetable for an eye catching, stomach filling meal.

Science Suppressed:
How America became obsessed with BPA
What the Journal Sentinel didn't report (cont'd)
Germany's Federal Institute for Risk Assessment and baby bottles; Norway and Switzerland's analysis of BPA migration; France's Food Safety Agency
The Journal Sentinel also failed to report that Germany's BfR Federal Institute for Risk Assessment had separately reviewed the safety of BPA and concluded that:
"Following careful checking of all the studies, in particular those studies in the low dose range of bisphenol A, the BfR carried out a scientific assessment of the results and came to the conclusion that the presence of bisphenol A in polycarbonate bottles poses no health risk to babies and infants during normal use. The BfR is not alone in this assessment of the situation: the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the American Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) share this view. Japan, which has carried out its own investigations into problems associated with BPA, also saw no need for a ban."
The BfR also dismissed the idea animating Canada's decision to label BPA toxic, namely that BPA in polycarbonate baby bottles posed a risk to children:
"Official food monitoring could not detect any bisphenol A during spot checks on the contents of baby bottles that were heated under normal domestic conditions. The BfR does not recognize any health risk for babies that are fed from baby bottles made of polycarbonate. Stopping the use of polycarbonate bottles is an unnecessary step, in the opinion of the Institute."
In contrast to official food monitoring and spot checks, the Journal Sentinel repeatedly warned readers about the dangers of BPA in polycarbonate bottles, for example on October 19, 2008:
"Studies have shown the main sources of exposure for newborns and infants are from bisphenol A migrating from the linings of cans into liquid infant formula and migrating from polycarbonate baby bottles into the liquid inside after the addition of boiling water."
The paper called on the government to ban BPA in plastics used by children (November 18, 2008):
"It should ban BPA from polycarbonate bottles and tableware intended for small children"
And it recommended not placing warm liquids in such products (November 16, 2008):
"If using hard polycarbonate plastics (water bottles, baby bottles or sippy cups), do not use for warm or hot liquids"
But the paper failed to report a joint study published in February 2008 in the journal European Food Research and Technology by Per Fjeldal of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority and Sandra Biedermann-Brem and Koni Grob of the Official Food Control Authority of the Canton of Zürich that examined the worst case scenarios for BPA leeching from baby bottles.
The maximum amounts of BPA these researchers managed to extract from bottles under normal washing conditions was between 1 and 7 micrograms per liter (μg/l) of fluid. Given that the European Union's Tolerable Daily Intake for BPA for infants is 250 micrograms per liter of fluid, the researchers concluded that:
"[T]he amount of BPA contained in the polycarbonate is so small that BPA migration in the proper sense is below 1 μg/l; also liquids with a strong extraction power do not extract much BPA.
BPA is formed and transferred into the beverage when alkali aqueous solutions are "baked" onto the polycarbonate during the drying process, as it occurs when the washing liquid is poured out, but rinsing with water fails. However, the BPA still amounted to less than 10 μg/l when referred to a 100 ml filling
With this understanding of the mechanisms of BPA formation and transfer into beverages it seems possible to confirm that even under extreme conditions and scenarios the amount of BPA released from polycarbonate baby bottles is clearly below the TDI for babies. In particular it can be ruled out that the observed increase of BPA release with aging of the bottle may extend to levels which could be of health concern."
A follow up study by Biedermann-Brem and Grob (published online in November 2008 in European Food Research and Technology) added significantly to our understanding of BPA exposure from polycarbonate bottles. Exposure was not an issue due to normal migration from the polymer, the levels in the food or liquid content were below one microgram per liter; the problem was degradation. If you boil tap water, you increase its alkalinity, which makes the water more caustic, which in turn strips more BPA from the bottle.
"BPA concentrations may reach 50 [micrograms per liter] if a polycarbonate bottle is sterilized by boiling water in it (well feasible only by means of microwave heating) and this same water is used to prepare a beverage. Increased concentrations are also observed when boiling hot beverages with a high pH are filled into the bottle, such as boiled plain water or tea."
The paper noted that higher amounts of BPA release through degradation required unrealistic test situations – such as boiling water in a bottle continuously for an hour or more. The researchers concluded that realistic daily exposures would be unlikely to reach 50 micrograms per liter, an amount considered safe for infants by EFSA. As the researchers note,
"Assuming a daily consumption of 800 ml from baby bottles and a body weight of 4 kg, the TDI [Tolerable Daily Intake] of 0.05 mg/kg bw would be reached with a BPA concentration of 250 micrograms per liter."
If you wanted to reduce that low level of exposure a hundred fold (and satisfy Canadian concerns about uncertainty), the researchers noted that you should "not boil water to be used for preparing drinks in a polycarbonate bottle," or fill a polycarbonate bottle with hot water or tea, and you should rinse such bottles after they are washed in a dishwasher.
In October 2008, the French Food Safety Agency – Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments (AFSSA) – was asked by the French Department of Health to study Canada's decision to ban BPA in baby bottles. AFFSA conducted an evaluation of the evidence and concluded that there was neither cause for concern nor a need to regulate BPA according to precautionary principles.
Again, the failure of the Journal Sentinel to cover any of this research creates a false numerical sense of risk when it reports on BPA in baby bottles.
The Journal Sentinel does not mention that a 2005 Japanese risk assessment on BPA, produced by The Research Center for Chemical Risk Management, concluded that:
"[C]urrent BPA exposure levels were unlikely to pose unacceptable risks to human health."
NSF International
But perhaps the most perplexing omission of all, given the recurring theme in the Journal Sentinel's reporting of "independent" research being ignored by regulatory agencies, was that in 2008 the paper ignored the most comprehensive independent evaluation of the research on BPA, conducted by NSF International. An independent, not-for-profit organization devoted to consumer protection, NSF started in 1944 as the National Sanitation Foundation in the Public Health department of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and has expanded over the years to 18 countries. It is a collaborating center with
the World Health Organization on food and drinking water safety, and it has expanded its monitoring operations in China following a series of public health controversies over lead in toys.
NSF International won a competition to run the EPA's direct and indirect drinking water additives regulatory program in the mid-1980s, and decided to develop a drinking water limit for BPA in the absence of federal limits or guideline values for BPA that might be detected in water through a plastic component in faucets or pipes.
NSF's review of the research on BPA calculate a reference dose (in European-speak, a Tolerable Daily Intake, TDI) or how much BPA can be safely ingested on a daily basis. The result was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health in February. The conclusion? BPA does not pose a health risk to adults or infants at present exposure levels.
No matter what position one takes on BPA scientifically, the failure to address such a huge body of counter-evidence is stunning. The Journal Sentinel reporters managed to avoid anything that might have contradicted the thrust of their reporting. This kind of confirmation bias is one of the problems of investigative reporting in general: the need to justify spending scant resources covering a topic in immense depth can lead reporters to discount information that could wind up wrecking their whole project.

Aubrey Kenneth Cheek, Sr.Pastor FBC Hillsborough, 1937-1943
A call was extended to Rev Cheek on May 16, 1937 to preach 2nd and 4th Sunday Morning's beginning in July. The same month, new sidewalks were installed from the front of the church and the parsonage to the steps leading down to the street. The first finance committee was appointed to develop a budget and offering cards were first used. A unified budget was approved on December 12, 1937. The budget approved for 1939 totaled $1,925 of which $600 was paid to the pastor with the cooperative program and orphanage getting $350 and $200, respectively. On April 16, 1939, the deacons and trustees made a motion to "erect a baptismal pool in honor of Dr. Charles E. Maddry and a suitable marker be placed thereon." The membership that year totaled 233. The church started a building fund in 1941 and Brothers CC Hancock and JR Frederick were licensed to preach by the Church. Cheek resigned on July 11, 1943 to take effect on September 1, 1943 – ending six years as pastor.1 He left Hillsborough to attend the seminary in Louisville, KY to advance his education.
Cheek was born on August 11, 1911 in Durham NC, a son of the E. G. and Myrtle Rigsbee Cheek. He attended Durham schools, graduating later from Wake Forest College (1935) and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY (1946). He married Hilda Mae Hill. She was born August 15, 1914 in Knoxville, TN. They had one son, Aubrey K. Cheek, Jr., and one daughter, Rilda Jessie Cheek.3 He was pastor of many churches in NC including Hillsborough (1937-43), Marshville (1946-48), South Fork in Winston-Salem (1948-52) and West Point in Kannapolis (1952-58). He died while serving as pastor of Fairview Church in Gastonia where he served 12 years (1958-1969).4
In May 1939, Charles Maddry, a former pastor and Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, was invited to preach a revival at Hillsborough. Chief of Police, J.E. Sharpe, wrote to the Biblical Recorder noting that over 50 were added to the church's role of whom 31 were by baptism.5 In turn, while Maddry was serving his second term as minister at Hillsborough, Cheek returned to preach the sermon for J G Goodwin's ordination in to the ministry by the church on May 1952.6
Cheek died on March 29, 1969 at the young age of 57. Funeral services were held at the Unity Baptist Church in Gastonia with the pastor, Rev. W. F. Woodall officiating.2 Graveside services were held at the Maplewood Cemetery in Durham. Hilda lived to be 74 years old, dying in 1988, and is buried in the same cemetery next to her husband.7

We are next.In 1995, 3D Realms announced a First-Person Shooter called Prey, to be released in 1998, about a troubled young Native American who is abducted by aliens, gets loose in their giant organic spaceship, and must tap into his spiritual powers to rescue his girlfriend. The big selling point of the game was portals; the ability to create rifts in space between any two points of a level (if this sounds familiar, you are not alone).The 1997 build impressed all and sundry, but there were technical problems with the game which ultimately forced the project back to the drawing board. Like 3D Realms' other highly-touted project, Duke Nukem Forever, it languished in Development Hell for ages. Eleven years after its initial announcement, Prey finally made its way onto shelves.The game came out in 2006, with the story largely unchanged. It boasted top-of-the-line visual effects using a modified Doom 3 engine, and no fewer than four breakthroughs in gameplay. The first was the portal system, which was less interactive than the original concept promised, but nonetheless impressive. The other three were Wall Walking, whereby gravity walkways and gravity switches allowed the player to walk on walls and ceilings; Spirit Walking, in which the lead character's spirit can leave his body and sneak up on enemies, walk through force fields, etc.; and perhaps most original, Death Walking, where dying didn't set the player back, but rather sent him to a sort of mini-game afterlife where you shoot spiritual eagles to determine how much health and spirit you have when you rematerialise right back where you died.The game was generally regarded as an enjoyable and groundbreaking game, although there were naysayers — some complained that the game was too short, others that it was too repetitive, others that its innovations were only window-dressing for an otherwise cookie-cutter FPS. Either way, it was neither the commercial success nor the industry-changing revolution that had been hoped for.There was also a comic from the minds at Penny Arcade.As a technical note, the portalling technology used to such great effect is actually a fairly old bit of behind-the-scenes level-building machinery. It normally goes completely unnoticed by the player, stitching separate areas of a game map (say, the inside and outside of a building) into a convincing whole. That it was only used as an explicit bit of mind-bending in a fistful of multiplayer maps until Prey came along is a mystery for the ages.A sequel had been announced for release in 2012, was pushed back to 2013, then not brought up again until late 2014. The game's protagonist was to be Killian Samuels, an air marshal who was on a plane that happened to be abducted by the same exact light that takes Tommy. He was to wake up on an alien world named Exodus several years later, knowing that he somehow managed to become a bounty hunter during that period but has no other memories of that time. He would convinced himself he's was the only human on Exodus... until he was to run into Tommy, who apparently knows him. The game was to feature an open world environment, and the ability to take on bounty hunting missions for cash. Unfortunately, in October 2014, Bethesda officially announced the project was cancelled.Prey was also the name of a short-lived TV series, a Michael Crichton novel, a couple of movies...Wikipedia has more.Not a direct opposite of Predator, despite what one might think. Also not to be confused with the killer lion movie Prey.

Time Out says
Posted: Fri Apr 9 2010
The owner of this Aussie-run restaurant and bar has a peculiar fondness for all things bovine. Hence the name, the glowing orange cow at the end of the bar, and the backlit black-and-white bar itself. Sunburnt stocks Fosters on tap and, to appease actual Australians, three kinds of Coopers in bottles. Rotating DJs play Brazilian beats, down-tempo funk and "eclectic lounge."

Without a doubt, Netbooks, iPads and smartphones are moving into many East Valley classrooms these days, if they're not there already.
Chandler's Willis Junior High School offers "Innovation Academy." EDUPRIZE Schools in Gilbert and Queen Creek offer the "iClass." Mesa Unified School District is introducing blended learning at a handful of schools this year. And in Gilbert Unified School District, some students may be able to bring their own technology device in a program being tested out in a handful of classrooms.
As more and more of these devices appear, parents may be asking, "But how does my child use this to learn?"
Jeff Delp is principal of Willis Junior High School and its Innovation Academy, or "iAcademy" as it's become known, where this school year some 300 students will use Netbooks and the Internet, as well as pencil and paper, in a "blended learning" environment in some classrooms.
Delp said he tries to encourage teachers – and families – to use technology when it can enhance education, and not just for technology's sake.
"We talk a lot about purposeful utilization of technology. That's really more of a school concept with us. The point being, I think schools, and sometimes educators, make a mistake of thinking it's about the technology. A lot of times you'll see a program implemented where, 'We have the computers so we use them for everything.'
"But actually, our kids like collaborating. They want to have interactions. So it's not always appropriate for them to use technology, even in the education setting. We just want to make sure that when we use technology, that it's adding value from a learner's standpoint," he said.
At home, parents may find that applications or online programs can help a student grasp a concept he or she may be struggling with.
Delp recommends first trying the website, "Free Technology for Teachers," or freetech4teachers.com.
There, parents (and teachers) can find information about recommended programs or websites, applications, or ideas on how to use information found online.
(A recent post gives creative ideas on how to use new Google Street View images of Antarctica.)
"He's very well known in the educational technology circles. I tend to trust the stuff he puts up," Delp said of the author, Richard Byrne.
Once students have information, they may find Evernote helpful to organize it, Delp said. Plus, it's available across platforms and can be accessed from anywhere (app stores or evernote.com).
"It allows kids to take and search and organize notes. They can upload pictures. They can store everything in Evernote," he said. "It's all searchable, including images. We have teachers that use it. They'll take a picture of their white board after they've solved a problem. In Evernote, you can search and it will even find things in the images on the white board."
Last, for those tricky problems, Delp recommends Kahn Academy (kahnacademy.org) or Sophia (Sophia.org). Both offer tutorials on everything from math to physics to history.
At Kahn Academy, users can also test their knowledge.
"It's a great place for kids if they're stuck on something or if a parent thinks they need a little extra help or if parents are trying to help their kids and they don't understand a concept," Delp said.
Parents can also scour the Internet and app stores for ideas, Delp said. But he also advises them to try it out.
"The big thing is you have to get in and do a little looking. It changes from day to day," he said. "Things popular six months ago, you usually learn they improve upon those pretty quickly."
