Aaron Ramsey delighted to see Arsenal bounce back from Aston Villa defeat at Fulham
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey was pleased to see his team hit back from last weekend's dismal display against Aston Villa to get their Premier League season up and running with a 3-1 win at Fulham.
The opening day loss at home to Villa resulted in supporters questioning Arsene Wenger's status as manager, expressing their unhappiness at the Gunners' lack of progress in the transfer market.
However, a 3-0 victory in the Champions League at Fenerbahce quietened the dissenters in midweek and first-half strikes from Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski (two) today lifted the mood further.
On-loan Aston Villa striker Darren Bent netted on his first Fulham appearance in reply, but the match was already lost by then and Ramsey was happy to come away from Craven Cottage with the points in the bag.
"We picked up where we left off in midweek," the Welshman told BT Sport.
"We had a great performance in Fenerbahce and we wanted to carry that on.
"After the disappointment against Villa it was vital to get the win today and we did it. They were a good team, they pressed us early on, which we had to adapt to, but we managed to get through that and played very well today.
"It's always difficult to come here, it's a tight pitch and the crowd are right behind them and they're a physical team, well organised and hard to break down.
"In the first 20 mins they closed us down pretty quickly and we had to deal with that and move the ball a bit quicker, and we got through the game in the end."
Wenger was also relieved to get their campaign off the ground and was more than happy with the performance his players put up.
He said: "It's never easy to play way or win away and we did it in a convincing way.
"In this kind of game it's important to be 1-0 up because they make things difficult for us and try to catch us on the break, so I thought we controlled the game well.
"We had a disappointing result against Villa and it was important to respond, and we've had two convincing wins first against Fenerbahce and again today here."
The Gunners have another tricky week ahead with the return match against the Turkish club before the prospect of a north London derby against Tottenham.
However, Wenger is refusing to look beyond their European match, saying: "We have a big game now on Tuesday night to get into the group stage of the Champions League.
"After that we'll think about the rest."

Health Tip: Help Ease Teething Pain
(HealthDay News) -- Teething usually starts during a child's first four to seven months. If your infant doesn't show any teeth until much later, don't worry. This may be determined by heredity, and it doesn't necessarily mean that anything is wrong.
Teething occasionally may cause mild irritability, crying, low-grade temperature (but not more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit), excessive drooling, and a desire to chew on something hard. Usually, the gums around new teeth will be tender and swell.
To ease your baby's discomfort, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you try gently rubbing or massaging the gums with one of your fingers. Teething rings are helpful, too, but they should be made of firm rubber.
Pain relievers and medications that you rub on the gums usually aren't useful, since they wash out of the baby's mouth within minutes. If your child seems particularly miserable or has a fever higher than 100 degrees, teething probably isn't the cause. You should consult your pediatrician as soon as possible.Related Articles

BUG adopts Poky Linux
I'm currently attending OSCON, and with BUG being on the front page of Linux Journal this seems like the perfect time to announce that the next release of the BUG software will be based on Poky Linux! This means almost every aspect of the software will change for the better, but the most apparent change is a fresh new interface*. Other changes are important for developers and others that want deep control over the software running on their BUG.
Years ago when we started this crazy mess, we looked at several different build systems for which all our application and operating code would be defined and generated. We decided at the time to go with LTIB, a build tool maintained by Freescale and the system that ships with the initial hardware we used to develop the BUG. LTIB is a great tool for generating Linux-based kernels and root-filesystems for applications, and is actively supported and maintained by Freescale. However BUG, as a platform, has outgrown the scope of what LTIB is designed to provide. We recognized a need for a general purpose Linux operating system with a great community and plenty of software.
After looking at several projects and distributions, we ended up choosing Poky, a subset of Open Embedded. Open Embedded is a true community-based project for building and running Linux on small computers. Essentially Poky provides a set of scripts used to handle cross compiling and a set of package metadata that allows anyone to add and configure software for a machine. Because Poky is based on Open Embedded, users are able to take advantage of its huge package library. Poky is produced by Opened Hand, a great set of folks of which I had the opportunity to meet at GUADEC 2008.
If you'd like to see more, we have a getting started guide on our wiki for building Poky Linux for BUG. Note that this is still preliminary so if you run into problems please let us know!
*: For those that were happy with xeyes as the primary BUG application, don't worry, we have ported it to Poky.

Yellow Cake dropped by Big Boy's Neighborhood in Los Angeles this morning to premiere his new single, "Nobody's Perfect," off his upcoming album, Carpe Diem. Maybe I missed something what with these new episodes of Scandal and all this New York snow, because I didn't expect a new single already.
The record is the same old dance/pop formula that he and hundreds of other artists have been stuffing the radio and iTunes with for the past several years. I'm so very tired of it at this point, but hey…whatever pays for your coloring book tattoos, girl. Listen to the song below.
While sitting in the Power 106 studio with Big Boy, Chris spoke about his relationship with Rihanna and admits that they are not together, but are basically trying to get close again as friends.
"It's just me being honest with myself," said Yellow of his dramatic love triangle video. "Me and [Rihanna] have history and me and her definitely always gonna be best of friends, and we're working on our friendship now."
"I'm just living life. However it falls into place, it's gonna fall into place," he continues. "I'm not trying to rush anything, put any rings on anybody's fingers or lie to anybody. I'd just rather be completely honest."
All these lightskinned emotions. Jesus, be an iced tea and a smooth nap. Check out the interview below.

The rapid increase of consumers using their mobile devices for business purposes is driving the need for print functionality in those devices. To print from such devicesand even laptops for mobile workershas historically been a challenge. To do this, one required special printing applications, special printers for particular devices, or new printer drivers. In other cases, one would need to transfer files to mediums such as USB drives or create online storage accounts.

Sam + Alex :: Georgetown + Capitol :: E-session
:: Work it, Make it, do it, makes us Better, Faster, Stronger ::
Monday (E-Session Day!)
Today is the day after my birthday; what better way to start the week than with a blog post for my brides, and anyone that needs advice when it comes to engagement sessions.
I get lots of questions regarding engagement sessions; a few of the questions I get are: Why do an engagement session at all? What time is best for engagement photos? What are your favorite locations for engagement photos? what to wear? How do you get the couple to be themselves? How do you make the couple smile? How do you make the couple kiss? These are all very good questions.
Well, I got an e-mail from my very good friends Henry, Jessenia, and Magdiel (Mag) back in April letting me know they were coming to D.C. to test their new cameras (Nikon D4's), and a few new lenses also from the Nikon line (being a former Nikon user) I got really excited and thought this was perfect since I also wanted to test the new Canon EOS 5D Mark III. At the same time I wanted to test the new equipment I wanted to answer all those questions I had been getting regarding engagement session so I set out to plan an amazing evening.
The first thing I did was to welcome my friends to my city. I've known Henry and Jessenia for over two years and thanks to them I met Mag and his beautiful wife Leti. I cannot feel more blessed to have friends as talented and supportive as these three amazing photographers. The second thing I did was to invite one of my 2012 couples; the lucky couple was the beautiful Sam and her handsome Alex. I have the honor of being Sam and Alex's photographer this coming September; and couldn't be happier when they said YES to my crazy request of coming out with the five of us to Georgetown.
To answer a few of your questions; engagement sessions are the perfect time to meet your photographer, learn his/her style of shooting and feel comfortable in front of a camera(s). Having said that I can confirm that couples that do have an engagement session feel more comfortable and photograph more naturally the day of the wedding. Why? because by the time your wedding comes we are already friends – we trust each other! and trust is everything when it comes to wedding photography. I would highly advise you have an engagement session with your photographer; get to know each other so the day of your wedding you know what to expect from the professional you have chosen to document the most important day in your life.
What time is best for engagement photos? this one is tricky since I live in Northern, VA and Washington, DC is literally my playground. As you know we have tourists all year round and it's hard to get our beautiful DC without dozens of people on the background but we manage. For me, the best time for photos is early in the morning or late in the afternoon. For my early riser brides the best time would be between 5am and 8am and For my brides that like those sun kissed images that best time for photos would be between 5pm and 6pm. Avoid going out between 10am and 2pm unless you are going to a beautiful shaded park – still the light is very harsh and photos are not as beautiful.
What are my favorite locations for engagement photos? this one is tough! I like to get to know my couples and send a few questionnaires to learn about them. My favorite locations would be locations that have meaning to them, locations that I know they definitely want, and/or locations where I KNOW the light is beautiful. Light is everything for a photographer and I would rather get stunning images at a not so desirable locations with amazing light than ugly photos at a rocking location. I look at light and lighting patterns before I look at locations. I can move my couples to beautiful light and work with the background but I cannot work with an amazing background with UGLY light – see what I mean?
What to wear to an engagement session? My suggestions on what to wear: I always advise my clients to incorporate their love of their favorite thing or things in their engagement session. This could be their love for shoes, skirts, headbands, accessories etc… I ask all my clients to bring their favorite things to wear. I also ask clients to bring comfy shoes for when we walk long distances and remind them to be ready to change into their beautiful heels (if they happen to bring any).
I do tell my clients to wear comfortable clothing. I do this because if my clients are not comfortable it will definitely show in the pictures. Most couples bring between 2 and 3 outfit changes; some bring more and let me pick – I definitely like variety. One thing I would like to point out is that I avoid matching outfits and always advise my clients to compliment one another. You want them to wear their favorite outfits; something they love to wear and would love to see on photos not just today but for years to come. I do e-mail my couples ahead of time and tell them to wear something they will not regret seeing in photos in the futureRemind your clients to have a good time and to think of this engagement session as a "date" and less of smiling to the cameras. This is my style; and it could be different for other photographers…
How do I get my couples to be themselves/kiss/smile? very good questions… I do send questionnaires to my couples and get to know them before I meet with them. By the time I get to the engagement session I already know how they met, what they like to do together, their hobbies, and already have an idea of their personalities. You'll see what I mean when you see Sam and Alex's engagement images below…
Meet one of my September couples :: Sam & Alex!
When I first asked Sam and Alex to come out with us I knew that Sam was a little shy. I also knew that Alex was not shy so I asked him to help me get Sam's sweet personality out and he did. It is not hard to photograph couples in-love. The hardest part is communicating with your couples in-love. I am not going to say I am a good communicator, but I will say that I am the luckiest girl in the world because "my couples" communicate well with me. Every photographer knows her/his bride. My brides are all different but share the most important qualities for me – what are these you ask? for one they like my style of photography. They also like and want good photography, look natural, and are adventurous. I am an out of the box kinda girl and my photography is inspired by "YOU". If you are Sexy – you'll get sexy images, if you are sporty – you'll get sporty inspire images and so forth. I photograph YOU and try my best at getting that very special side out of you during our engagement sessions.
I was so anxious to look at the images after I got home from Sam and Alex's e-session. They had 5 professional photographers with them and I wanted to see if our styles blended well together. No wonder I'm friends with Henry, Jessenia and Mag – These guys are freaking amazing photographers and photograph the way I do. You can say we were perfect together; everything was perfect, the couple was perfect, the location couldn't have been more perfect, and of course the weather was perfect.
I We loved photographing Sam and Alex. I love Sam's smile; she's got that angelic face and personality; which is really who she is. Alex is outgoing, strong, and so in-love with Sam that it is hard to miss how in tune they are with each other. My favorite images are the ones of them on the bikes. It was during this part of the day that I saw this couple shine not as individuals but as a couple. They are fun, loving, and playful together. Sam trusts Alex and he looks just so happy to be her prince charming.
The last part of our day was in-front of the Capitol. I have been wanting to get a couple out there for sometime and Sam and Alex were game. It was a little cold that April evening but they didn't care; and together we made those beautiful images in-front our our city's Capitol Building.
Sam and Alex :: Thank you so much for coming out with us; thank you for letting 5 adventurous photographers capture these beautiful images for you. Thank you for being you and for trusting Darling Photographers with your wedding day!!!
To my dear husband and friends that came out to do this engagement session with me – This industry we call photography is so much better because you guys are in with me. I wouldn't be ME without you. Thank you for being my friends, for trusting me, and for helping me grow in this industry. We are better because we help each other and want to be better together – God Bless you!
Special Thanks to: Victor Paumen, Henry Rivera Photography, Jessenia, and Magdiel Sanchez Photography. You guys made this engagement session and blog post.
P.S. I hope you find this blog post helpful and all your questions answered.
With Love,

Tuesday March 1st, 2011 : Homotopy and Higher Categories
Pour plus d'info, cliquez ici
Université Paris Diderot - site Rive Gauche, bâtiment Condorcet (4, rue Elsa Morante, 75013, Paris), salle Mondrian (646A).
9h30-11h, Ralf Krömer (Universität Siegen) : "A history of the concept of fundamental groupoid"
11h15-12h45, David Corfield (University of Kent) : "Categorification and Logic"
14h30-16h, François Métayer (Paris-Diderot, PPS) : "Homotopy and rewriting"
See abstracts below.
Ralf Krömer, "A history of the concept of fundamental groupoid" : In the first part of the talk, we will investigate early conceptions of homotopy (and more generally, topology) and their role in the treatment of problems from analysis, starting with the work of Riemann and Jordan. This culminates in Poincaré ?s series of papers on "Analysis situs" where he introduced, along with many other topological tools, the fundamental group. These matters are well known and well described in the literature, but a recapitulation is prerequisite for the subsequent parts of the talk. In the second part, we take a look at the history of partial composition and the groupoid concept, starting with algebraic work by Heinrich Brandt on quadratic forms and ideals of algebras. Again focusing on the context of topology, notably on the concept of fundamental groupoid, we will examine the claim that the history of this latter concept should reasonably be divided in two periods in the first of which (from Poincaré via Reidemeister up to Crowell and Fox ?s book on knot theory) it didn ?t play a central role, and its uses were developed more or less independently of category theory, whereas things became different with Ronald Brown ?s stressing of the utility of the groupoid concept for algebraic topology. In the last part of the talk, we analyze the epistemological significance of the technical concept of homotopy for the work with the fundamental groupoid in the historical events described before, especially examining whether Wittgenstein ?s dictum recalled by the organizers of the seminar is significant in this case.
David Corfield, "Categorification and Logic" : Categorification designates the process of finding higher level constructions whose ?shadows ? are familiar constructions. The categorified construction generally contains information which has been lost in its shadow. As we move up the n-category ladder for increasing n, an increasing elaborate notion of sameness emerges : equality is replaced by isomorphism, isomorphism by equivalence, and so on. Now, categories of a certain kind will support a logic of an associated kind, so it is natural to expect that as we move up the n-category ladder, that we will find categorified versions of logic. In this talk I shall examine what sense we can make of a categorified logic.
François Métayer, "Homotopy and rewriting" : A result of 1987 by Craig Squier relates the topology of a monoid to the properties of its presentations by rewriting systems. Precisely, if a monoid can be presented by a finite, confluent and terminating system, then its third homology group is of finite type. I will show how the space of computations attached to such rewriting systems supports a structure of omega-category, and revisit Squier ?s theorem from this omega-categorical point of view. This approach is based on the construction of a Quillen model structure on strict higher-categories, a recent joint work with Yves Lafont and Krzysztof Worytkiewicz.
Presentation of the session : The algebraic formalization of homotopic notions, since the work of Daniel Quillen, has given rise to a huge amount of new category-theoretic constructions and concepts. In particular, model categories have been introduced as an abstract framework for homotopy theory and have recently been applied to type theory. Besides, higher categories have been introduced as a way to model higher-order homotopy in "iterated loop spaces" : Identity is replaced with homotopy, identity of homotopies is replaced with homotopy between homotopies, and so on. Since then, the algebraic expression of that idea has turned out to be very fruitful in many contexts outside the strict domain of topology, for example in rewriting theory, and has become a research topic in its own right. Category theory has clearly been instrumental in supporting homotopy theory and in articulating higher-order homotopy. The session will be devoted to that facet of category theory. Wittgenstein says in the Tractatus (5.303) that an identity statement (in particular, in an arithmetic context) is always meaningless ("Roughly speaking, to say of two things that they are identical is nonsense, and to say of one thing that it is identical with itself is to say nothing at all"). As a way to take that argument into account, one can view a calculation as a path, and an identity as the exhibition of an homotopy betweeen two different paths. Accordingly, identity between two calculations is never a fact, but always itself the result of a (higher-order) calculation. Quite generally, conceiving of identity of mathematical objects as an identity up to some homotopy could contribute towards an understanding of that issue in the framework of category theory. The goal of this session is to provide an interdisciplinary forum in which to further explore those issues. In terms of format, it will have three speakers, embracing respectively an historical, a philosophical and a mathematical point of view.

Soy, Oh Boy!
Photo: TeddyBear
Soy has been getting a lot of attention in the nutrition world. Not only is it delicious as chocolate milk, but also emerging studies are finding some incredible health benefits. Foods made with soy can potentially lower cholesterol, lower the risk of breast and prostate cancer, help with weight loss, and help prevent osteoporosis. A plant-made estrogen, called may be the magic ingredient that can help cause all of these health benefits.
According to the Harvard School of Public Health, studies show that by eating soy, there may be a 20% reduction in the chance of getting cardiovascular disease; including stroke, or cardiac arrest. The American Heart Association says that by eating 50 grams of soy a day will only lower the LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) by only 3%. This is a little extreme because 50 grams of soy protein can equal 1 ½ pounds of tofu! The AHA does say that even though it doesn't lower LDL by that much, it does have a positive effect on the heart and blood vessels. This is due to their replacement of red meat like hamburgers and also because they are a great source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, fiber, vitamin and minerals. Soy is also very low in saturated fat.
Many friends of mine have asked whether or not they should avoid eating soy products because they have heard it has been linked to breast cancer. There are some studies that show that high amounts of soy consumption can promote the growth of breast cancer. On the contrary, some studies have found that phytoestrogens, a plant made hormone from soy, can block the action of estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone produced by the body that can promote the growth of cancer cells in humans. When phytoestrogens block estrogen action in the breast, it can actually LOWER the chance of breast cancer. One study found that the more soy a woman eats during adolescence, the lower her risk is for developing breast cancer. So my advice is this; do not avoid soy as it can provide many health benefits! Just consume it in moderation. No food is healthy in excess.
Although there are some health benefits, there is still not enough concrete evidence that soy prevents cancers. Because this is such an emerging topic in nutrition, expect to see more and more studies about the health benefits of soy.

Funder Roundtable
On November 30, 2011, Jenn Hoos Rothberg from the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust; Rafi Rone from the Joseph and Harvey Meyerhoff Family Charitable Funds; Jennie Rosenn from The Nathan Cummings Foundation; and John Ruskay from UJA-Federation of New York gathered at Repair the World's offices for a conversation exploring their motivations as supporters of Jewish service-learning, where Jewish service-learning fits into their foundation/organizational priorities, and their visions of the future of the Jewish community. Liz Jaffe, a board member of Repair the World and UJA-Federation of New York, moderated the conversation, and Jon Rosenberg, CEO of Repair the World, participated as well.
LIZ: How does Jewish service-learning fit in with your funding priorities?
RAFI: The Meyerhoff family has rightly seen it as one of the multiple portals of access to next generation Jews. It's not just service; it's service within the context of meaning, leading to deeper involvement and leadership.
JENN: The foundation I represent looks at this in a universal frame, rather than a particular Jewish frame. The mission of the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust is helping people get along better, and what that means to us is how to raise the next generation of empathic citizens to create a more civil society. Research tells us that people further develop empathy and prosocial behavior—such as teamwork, kindness, and cooperation—when they experience the joy of helping others. Empathy, the root of many prosocial behaviors, is like a "muscle"—we all have it, but it's strengthened with use. We therefore seek to fulfill our mission by providing such opportunities to flex that muscle. As you might imagine, service is a great one. By engaging in authentic service, we are able to raise a generation of citizens whose values are based on our shared humanity, who seek opportunities to care for others, and choose to "give back" throughout the rest of their lives. Because the Jewish community has a strong tradition of "repairing the world," we have an unprecedented opportunity to embrace our tradition and inspire American Jews to give their time and effort to serve those in need.
JENNIE: The Nathan Cummings Foundation has been involved in supporting service since the early to mid-90s, giving seed funding to PANIM,1 AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps,2 and Tzedek Hillel.3 Our funding priorities have service as an integral strategy to engage Jews, Jewish communities, and Jewish resources more effectively in issues of social and economic justice. Social justice as part of our strategy is at the core of Jewish values; it is integral to Jewish life and to the creation of a more just, vibrant, and sustainable society. We also see it as a way of cultivating the next generation of Jews who are engaged as full citizens.
JOHN: In the past five years, thinking purely financially, in a flat world where funding is pretty static, UJA-Federation of New York has put $2 million into this area. Some would say that was significant, but obviously, in the total picture, it is only a part of what is needed. I think this area is pregnant with possibility.
For us, Jewish service-learning is not a discrete program; it comes from a broad perspective of understanding where we are in Jewish history. We believe the overarching challenge is to create Jewish communities that can lead Jews to self identify because of the meaning, community, and purpose that Jewish life infuses in our lives. It is in this context that we believe that service-learning can play an integral part in strengthening the community—the way a visit to a home of shiva (week of mourning), bikur cholim (visiting the sick), and caring for one another itself creates the web of community, which for us is critical. It's about caring about our own community and beyond. Service-learning does not stand in and of itself; it is part of a much broader vision of the place of the Jewish community at this time.
I always say, "We're in the first inning of this experiment." The questions are, What are we learning from it? Who is participating in service-learning experiences? Do these experiences engage new people? Can we use service-learning to strengthen community? What will the impact be long term and short term?
LIZ: How should funders and practitioners approach Jewish service-learning to maximize the value for the server and the served?
RAFI: This question goes to the nature of partnership in general. Always with partnerships, you have to be very clear at the outset about what each side's expectations are going in because if there is no clarity, it will eventually lead to disappointment or to one side feeling like it's not achieving its objectives or its goals. Partnership needs to be seen purely as a live relationship with clarity—clarity is the most important piece.
JOHN: You know we at UJA-Federation are one step removed from the server and the served; in fact, I'm probably a lot of steps removed from the server and the served. Volunteerism—service-learning—is a strategy to actualize a longer term vision. You must have a view of where you want to move community and society. What is needed Jewishly or in terms of society?
Service-learning is not only about doing good things. Anyone who designs a volunteer effort is in theory doing good things. We need to focus on doing service more effectively for the server and the served. What are we doing to move the needle on broader isolation, of connecting more strongly to those in need? Or, to use Jenn's term, on broader empathy for the other? For example, there's a great opportunity in going into the home of the elderly—connecting with that person, seeing how she lives—as we've all done, and one experiences that in a way that changes your frame of the world.
JENN: For me, maximizing the value of Jewish service learning is all about authenticity. We need to look at what Jews are already doing to repair the world. What we will find is that many are already engaged in ways where they're making meaningful differences in the world. As a Jewish community, we need to celebrate that as being part of what a Jewish journey looks like.
RAFI: The Meyerhoff Foundation takes the novel approach that the practitioners actually know what they're doing and they are pretty good at it, which is why they are doing it. We offer to be thought partners, but we trust good solid leadership and organizational savvy. As someone who was a practitioner and a participant in Jewish service-learning experiences, I have tremendous respect for that approach.
LIZ: I promise you, all our practitioners would say "thank you" to that approach. Repair the World is very serious about being sure that, as Jenn said, the service is authentic: we are supporting programs in our grant-making that are needed or requested from a community, not what we think, from on high, needs to happen for the community.
JENNIE: A key element we've found in any authentic Jewish service program is that there's a community partnership, and those partnerships take a fair amount of time and energy to build. But without them, we're not really engaging the server or the served in an authentic or deep way.
LIZ: I think most of you have addressed the community issues and civic engagement, but what potential does Jewish service-learning have for engaging young people and nurturing Jewish identity?
JOHN: As I understand it, the early research says there's a surprisingly high percentage of participants in Jewish service-learning programs who are already quite Jewishly identified. Steven M. Cohen said we're going to be "leaner and meaner," so this is certainly a way to strengthen our community, to deepen it.
JENNIE: Three thoughts: First, just because someone has a religious school or Jewish camp background, we cannot assume they are feeling connected to the community. "Affiliated" and "unaffiliated" are the wrong frame for where we are now, which has to do with the way people have multiple identities and complex identities, and being Jewish is only a part of them.
The second point relates to what Robert Putnam talks a lot about in Bowling Alone: the use of social capital. What's so striking about Jewish service-learning is that it's both bridging and bonding capital—bridging across differences and bonding within the community.
Third, what makes Jewish service-learning transformative in terms of people's own Jewish identity is the way in which there is intensive Jewish learning and reflection and in the way in which a Jewish community is being formed as participants are processing their experience. So, it's not enough to do service—that in itself is not transformative. A lot of the research shows that the process of doing Jewish service-learning and reflection, and doing it in the context of community, is what results in that transformational part and the strengthening of Jewish identity.
RAFI: The piece that's important is that now everything educationally is done in groups. I was visiting Towson University [outside of Baltimore] the other day, and they were knocking down the old cubicles with doors on them. Instead, everything is now one computer with five or six chairs around it. Everything is collaborative. Yet as Putnam says, we're still struggling with this sense of isolation.
That's some of the core of the Jewish identity piece of it: Jewish identity is so "high art" and nuanced. To create a safe space within any Jewish service-learning—or Jewish text study—setting is also high art and high-touch, though if done with a few specific set of guidelines and the tenets of effective experiential education, you can create real impact.
Using Jewish service-learning and immersive Jewish service-learning to get to the effective exploration of identity is high art, and it's really important because this is what will separate universalistic from particularistic service-learning experiences—between those that serve non-Jews and Jews and those that only serve Jews in need. You have people who started Teach for America (TFA)4 and AmeriCorps5 and City Year6, so many Jews in this industry, and there's no connecting the dots of what's Jewish about what they're doing.
JENN: I'd like to echo some of Rafi's points. Some of this is about rewriting our communal narrative of what it means to be engaged in Jewish life and Jewish identity. As a Jewish community, we used to say, "Come to us and we will provide meaning and belonging." At the time, that was appropriate. But as Jews today, we have multifaceted identities—we no longer need to lead with our "Jewish selves" to find community.
This is where there's an opportunity for Jewish service-learning and our practitioners in the field—to not just meet the ones who are knocking on our doors, but to go out and engage with Jews where they are. We have the opportunity to validate them by saying, "Yes, who you are— and that service piece of you—is also important to us. Engaging in service is very much part of what it means to be engaged in Jewish life." We need to recognize that what they are doing is absolutely part of who we are as a people, and we need them to help us rewrite this narrative of what it means to be engaged in Jewish life. That's the opportunity: to have the universal aspect of service-learning be recognized as a defining element of American Jewish life.
And that opportunity will provide the bonding we need within our own community; we can say, "You see, we do have something in common because service and being engaged in the community are inherently Jewish acts." That's the bonding we desperately need in our Jewish community. And the bridging piece occurs when the Jewish community recognizes our obligation to serve those in need in our midst as central to what it means to engage in Jewish life.
JENNIE: I'm not sure that the universalistic/particularistic paradigm is still the right one. We've exploded that dichotomy. Part of what's compelling about Jewish service-learning is that it's inherently both.
RAFI: There's a difference between doing the Peace Corps7 in Kazakhstan and doing the JDC Jewish Service Corps8 in Morocco, not that there's anything wrong with either, but the challenge is: Why and how are these programs American and why and how are they Jewish? I still think that answering that question is a good challenge.
JENN: I think Jewish service-learning's role is to create the translation of why that service is both Jewish and American. I don't think doing a year of service in AVODAH is any better than doing a year of service in Teach for America, but we have the opportunity to translate why the latter is Jewish. People make choices, so we need to help them see why the choice they made to do TFA or City Year is as Jewish as doing AVODAH. This generation is committed to repairing the world, and hearing from multiple places that service is part of the Jewish identity experience will strike an incredibly meaningful chord with them.
JOHN: Hearing that service is valued?
JENN: Valued, yes. Hearing that however they choose to repair the world—it's the fact that they're doing it—is meaningful. And the communal aspect to that is hearing that other people find it meaningful too. The reason why is that it validates something already inherent in who they are as important and valued, providing a link and ultimately a sense of belonging to a Jewish community.
LIZ: I'm going to take us in a slightly different direction to talk about the value there is in Jewish service-learning achieving more prominence in the Jewish community. Do you think it should have more prominence on the Jewish communal agenda?
JOHN: I find this conversation really interesting; it reflects the learning stage we are at in the present moment in Jewish life. There's a search for a silver bullet, for the one most important and most critical program or service; I think this search is unnecessary and unproductive. The great news is that this community, which has many external challenges that could have consumed our interest, focus, and money, has the ability to say we're going to see what can strengthen Israel trips, summer camps, synagogues, Hillels, Jewish service-learning, and invest in a whole set of start-ups—some of which will succeed and some will not. We're 15 years into this. The truth is, I think the research and experience matter here.
When you ask if Jewish service-learning should be more important, the question you're really asking is if it should deserve more communal funding in a time of really flat money. The increasingly important question facing everyone—funders and federations—is, Where can philanthropy have substantial impact? Getting the metrics on that is easier said than done, particularly on the identity front. The great news is that we're all in this trying to figure this out.
RAFI: I think what John is alluding to is R&D (Research & Development), which is usually 10–15% of any company's budget. I sit on the Israel & Overseas Commission at the ASSOCIATED: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, and recently we had the choice whether to send six kids from Baltimore to do follow-up Birthright programs in Israel or to support the Ethiopian National project. Are you going to use communal funds to feed people, or to educate people about feeding people, or to strengthen this incredible, so savvy, so smart generation coming up, or can you figure out a way to do all three?
JENNIE: I want to take up John's challenge of what the community is that we're seeking to create. We're talking about this as if Jewish service is new. We are a people who serves. Jewish service is part of the DNA of who we are as a Jewish community. There are two things we know as Jews: we know that we have an obligation to meet the immediate needs of vulnerable populations; we know that from our tradition. And we know that there will always be hungry in our midst.9 And therein lies the tension. We're not going to solve in our generation all the social issues that create these needs, so part of what we need to be nurturing is a Jewish community for whom this service is central to how we live out our values in the world. To create a community that is sensitive and responsive to the needs in our midst is part of what it means to live our lives as Jews.
LIZ: Do you think that Jewish service-learning advances Jewish learning, creates communities of meaning, meets pressing community needs, and cultivates the next generation of engaged Jewish citizens?
JOHN: Service-learning takes service to the next level in multiple ways by bringing groups together to study and reflect on service, making it a collective experience, and embedding it in learning. Now we're trying to figure out the investment we as a community need to make in Jewish service-learning. In national bodies—whether the Jewish Funders Network or the Jewish Federations of North America's General Assembly—service is on the agenda. At one point we had the audacious notion of making it a norm that every person at some stage of life would undertake a service-learning experience.
JENN: There's an opportunity on the agency side too…
JOHN: What agencies?
JENN: Oh, meaning YOUR agencies <laughter>
JOHN: Ah!
LIZ: The 100 agencies supported by UJA-Federation of New York.
JENN: Across the board, we have an opportunity to recognize the human capital that can be used to meet pressing community needs. Instead of asking how we mobilize hundreds of thousands of Jews to go do service, we have an opportunity to look at our agencies, our nonprofit organizations, the ones on the ground serving the people who are in need of service, and ask them, "How could you use an additional set of hands? What can we do to help you as an organization utilize people who want to come to volunteer?
JOHN: Would it be helpful for me convene three, five, seven of our largest human services agencies that do our highest quality work, to think together with you about this question? We have all learned that managing this process is hugely more complicated than we knew when we started.
JENN: When the Jewish community has flat financial resources to do this, we need to change the way we look at service. We cannot only see Jewish service-learning as a high-touch intervention to engage Jews—which means it's a high-cost intervention too. If we do this, then we'll never be able to make service a communal norm. We must flip this paradigm from focusing on the person doing the service to instead focusing on the problems we seek to address and the people in our communities who are in need of our help.
Volunteers who engage in real service, authentic service, where they can see the difference they are personally making in the world, are those who choose to serve again and again. So of course, we need to make sure the opportunities we're providing do just that.
However, if we do this right, ultimately the cost should not be on providing that great service experience—that should be a given—instead, our emphasis should be on how our community engages in local problem-solving as volunteers, which can lead to a collective cost savings due to the in-kind value we would add to a nonprofit's balance sheet. That means that part of our job to make service a norm is to work directly with some of our key organizations on the ground who are already helping solve community problems and to provide them the assistance they need to use volunteers more effectively to meet their organizational goals.
RAFI: One of the things that is really important is the need for funds just to make service-learning happen. I would hope that something service-learning experiences show is that someone has to pay to turn the lights on and pay for the ceramic you need to build the toilet you're building. In an effective service-learning program that sense of community responsibility is translated to the experience; this translation is really an undervalued goal for a Jewish service-learning experience. People don't parse out what is the difference between tzedek (justice) and tzedakah (charity); to me, you should not consider Jewish service or Jewish service-learning as your charity, as your philanthropic obligation. We want service-learning participants to have those experiences and say, "Great, I will do this AND I will write the check to the agencies I care about"—not "I did this and so I don't have to donate money."
<Liz invited Jon Rosenberg, CEO of Repair the World, into the conversation>
JON: And they should also say, "I will get involved in other forms of social action." One research point about service-learning and about civic engagement measures broadly—service-learning programs like City Year and the Jewish service-learning field—is that these measures and behaviors are very interconnected. Developing those civic muscles has a positive interaction with philanthropic giving, with advocacy, with issue education, with voting, with all the other things that we value as a collective.
JENNIE: I know this isn't a conversation about tzedakah, but I can't help but take the bait, Rafi. One of the Jewish communal norms that the Jewish community has not yet actualized is the giving of 10–20% of our resources to tzedakah. You're raising the issue that chesed (loving-kindness), tzedek, and tzedakah are branches of the same tree, and Jon, it's interesting to hear that the research is showing that they really are branches of the same tree. Rather than seeing it as an either/or, how can we be cultivating a community that understands its responsibility to act in all three of these arenas?
LIZ: Now we seem to be back to the beginning about your concerns about Jewish service-learning.
JENNIE: The challenge is how we build capacity in the field of Jewish service-learning so it still reflects our core values. How do we ensure that it's authentic Jewish service that goes to scale not only operationally but also insofar as it maintains the transformational nature that makes it valuable in the first place—both in the communities that we serve and for the participants? What makes this work transformational are the very elements that make it cumbersome to bring to scale, and yet if we go to scale without figuring out how to ensure that these elements stay in place, there's no reason for us to continue. These elements include meaningful Jewish learning and reflection, serious community partnerships, the meeting of authentic, real needs, and connecting to the underlying social issues that create the needs in the first place. This also means well-trained, top-notch Jewish service-learning educators. These things are what make it expensive, but they are also what make it ultimately transformational for the world and for the people who are serving.
RAFI: Jewish service-learning is not the be-all and end-all. I think a sense of community is important.
LIZ: Could you relate that to your own personal experience volunteering?
RAFI: I was volunteering as the Ralph I. Goldman International Fellow at the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan—it's the only capital in the world named for a wooden plunger used to milk a goat. The most incredible part of being there was when I would talk to people in the neighborhood who weren't Jewish, and they would say, "Oh the Jewish community, they help each other." So, delivering a food package to the only Jew, who lived two hours north of Bishkek in a small village whose population used to be half Jewish, with children from the community was great not just because it gave us a sense of "we take care of our own" but knowing that she actually shared it with her floor mates, who may not have had electricity in minus-45 degree weather. It was the melding of the particularistic with the universalistic. This is my favorite question to people when I visited every country: "How many Jews do you think there are in the world?" I'd hear these responses: "Ohhh, a billion, 500 million, 700 million." What these answers symbolized is that we care, and we don't just care about our own community.
LIZ: That's a great way to end the discussion. Thank you all for being part of this conversation.

Topic Outline
According to statistics from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), there are approximately 29 million cancer survivors worldwide as of 2008 [1]. In the United States, there are an estimated 14 million cancer survivors as of 2014, a figure that is expected to increase to approximately 18 million in the next 10 years [2]. Over three million women have a history of breast cancer, which constitutes 41 percent of the population of female cancer survivors [2]. Although the vast majority of breast cancer survivors are women, approximately 2000 men are diagnosed with breast cancer annually in the United States alone, and most will achieve long-term disease-free survival [3]. (See "Breast cancer in men".)
Patients who are living for decades beyond cancer experience the normal issues of aging, which are often compounded by the long-term effects of having had cancer and cancer therapy. These patients are at risk for a breast cancer recurrence (which is most common in the first five years but may occur even decades following treatment), a new primary breast cancer, other cancers, and short-term and long-term adverse effects of treatment. Additional issues for cancer survivors relate to psychological, genetic, reproductive, social, and employment concerns.
Unfortunately, there is a lack of clear evidence for what constitutes best practices in caring for patients with a history of cancer, and this contributes to wide variation in care [4]. Recommendations for posttreatment surveillance after primary therapy of breast cancer will be reviewed here. A detailed discussion of the patterns of relapse (ie, locoregional recurrence, second primary breast tumor, metastatic disease) and long-term complications of breast cancer therapy are presented separately. (See "Patterns of relapse and long-term complications of therapy in breast cancer survivors".)
A general overview of cancer survivorship is covered separately. (See "Overview of cancer survivorship care for primary care and oncology providers".)
There are many definitions and phases of cancer survivorship. We define a cancer survivor as any person with cancer, starting from the moment of diagnosis. This is consistent with definitions from the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship [5] and the National Cancer Institute [6].

iPad Mini Sees Tepid Demand : Poll
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In a surprising result, only 43% of respondents to a poll from TheStreet said they would definitely buy an iPad Mini should Apple (AAPL) decide to make one.
Rumors of a smaller tablet have persisted ever since Apple released its original iPad in 2010, but now the rumors are coming fast and furious and analysts have begun to include them in their projections. Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster recently wrote in a research note that Apple could sell 4 million to 6 million "iPad Mini's" in the December quarter.
Despite the robust projections provided by Munster, only 43% of the 815 people who responded to the poll said they would "buy anything Apple related."
A large percentage of respondents, 28%, agreed with former CEO Steve Jobs in that a 7-inch tablet was "dead on arrival." On a quarterly conference call in 2010, Jobs was dismissive of 7-inch tablets. "One naturally thinks that a 7-inch screen would offer 70 percent of the benefits of a 10-inch screen. Unfortunately, this is far from the truth ... The reason we

Brilinta Approved for Acute Coronary Syndromes
Blood-thinning drug helps prevent clotting
THURSDAY, July 21 (HealthDay News) -- Brilinta (ticagrelor) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to help reduce the risk of heart attack and cardiovascular death among people with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
ACS is an umbrella term for any condition caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, such as unstable angina or heart attack. Blood-thinning Brilinta helps prevent clots that could impede cardiovascular blood flow, the FDA said in a news release.
The drug was studied in tandem with aspirin use. However, Brilinta's label will warn that its effectiveness will be impaired if people take aspirin in doses higher than 100 mg. per day, the FDA said.
The boxed label warning also specifies that Brilinta could lead to significant, possibly fatal, bleeding, a common label warning for blood-thinning drugs, the agency said.
As a condition of approval, drug maker AstraZeneca must take steps to alert doctors of the risk of using higher doses of aspirin.

California citrus growers battle against freezing temperatures
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Icicles created by drip irrigation are illuminated by a cars headlights as they hang from an orange tree January 17, 2007 in Orange Cove, California. California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency as an estimated 70% of California's citrus crops have been damaged by a severe cold snap that is bringing below freezing tempuratures to California's central valley. The cold is expected to continue through January 21.
Citrus growers in Central California are feeling the low temperatures.
The hard freeze watch issued to citrus farmers in the central and southern San Joaquin Valley area yesterday has prompted them to take preventive measures to protect their crops from the chill. The low temperatures, which are expected to reach the low 30s, could potentially ruin citrus crops and cause a financial disaster for some of these growers.
Bob Knight, a citrus farmer in Redlands, joins the show to talk about how he's tackling the cold.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Hi, I am new to MarsEdit, switching to think because I am tired of the limitations by blogging using email-to-blog. Usually I will blog photos at 600 x 450 pixels. On my main blog page, it will show a smaller thumbnail size. Clicking on it will load the larger 600pixels image. I just published a test post using MarsEdit. The image will appear as it is in my blog in its full size but cropped due to the layout width. Is there anything I can set / do such that posting via MarsEdit will create a thumbnail version of the images in main post? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

(CORPUS CHRISTI) - Police say a suspected drunk driver is to blame for a deadly early morning rollover accident. It happened on Leopard Street around 2:30AM Sunday. Authorities say a guy driving a Chevrolet Trailblazer went off the road and slammed into a concrete driveway. His 33-year-old passenger inside died in the crash. Police say the 29-year-old driver appeared to be drunk -- but they're waiting on blood test results for confirmation. If it turns out that he was drunk -- police say he will face charges.

Egypt's army chief has indicated that he may run for president in elections slated for later this year, according to state media.
General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who led a military coup last July to depose the country's first democratically-elected leader, Mohamed Morsi, said on Saturday that he would run for the top post if the Egyptian people and army want him to.
"If I run then it must be at the request of the people and with a mandate from my army... We work in a democracy," Sisi said during an army seminar in Cairo.
Egyptian military officers told AFP news agency that Sisi had support within the army to stand in the election.
Sisi's comments come only days ahead of a referendum on a new Egyptian constitution scheduled for January 14-15.
The referendum will lead the way for parliamentary and presidential elections, as mandated by a political roadmap set up by the country's military-led interim government.
Vote of confidence
Samer Shehata, a professor of Middle East politics at the University of Oklahoma in the United States, told Al Jazeera: "If there are millions and millions of people who participate [in the referendum] ... he'll see that as an indication, I think, of a run for the presidency."
The referendum marks the first time Egyptians will vote since Morsi's removal and is largely seen to be as much a public vote of confidence in Sisi as in the charter itself.
Egyptian state news agency, MENA, quoted Sisi on Saturday urging Egyptians to "assume national responsibility and turn out in force to vote in the constitutional referendum in order to correct the democratic path and build a modern democratic state".
The military general is a polarising figure in Egypt, supported by people who called for Morsi's removal in mass protests last July, and hated by those who backed the deposed former president.
Morsi's supporters have held frequent protests calling for his reinstatement. They have been met by a widespread crackdown from security forces, and thousands have been arrested.
Sisi's candidacy for president could further deepen the divisions between many Egyptians.
