WASHINGTON, September 19, 2013 — On Monday September 16, Washington witnessed its first mass shooting event since the D.C. Sniper. Twelve individuals as well as the shooter lost their lives at the Washington Navy Yard, "The Quarterdeck of the Navy."
While the motives and the means of the killings are only beginning to be examined, and the dust has only begun to settle, many in D.C. are trying to make sense of it all, many are trying to move on, and many are looking for anyone who will listen and help them get through this tragedy.
For that last group, it seems that the surge of national support that so many expect after a tragedy like this strikes has not yet arrived. And many wonder why.
After the Virginia Tech shooting, there was an outpouring of national support. "We are all Hokies" signs went up all over Facebook.
After the Boston Marathon bombing, Boston Strong cries rang out all over the country.
After the Aurora massacre, several groups launched "Pray for Aurora" sites.
After Newtown, there was a staggering amount of public support, and rightly so considering the enormity of that tragedy.
Here in Washington, however, it is business as usual. As of now, there is no national D.C. Strong movement, there is no national call to raise money for the wounded and the families of the dead. There is only a call for more gun control, while the people of Washington are expected to push on with life. The bottom line is, there are people in the city who feel abandoned, and there are those in this city who are simply too numb to grieve in the first place.
This shooting hits close to home for D.C. residents, because everything is close to home here.
There is a national perception that the Washington Navy Yard is some government facility cordoned off and surrounded by barb wire. No, it is 3.5 miles from the White House, 1.9 miles from the Capital Building, 2.8 miles from the Washington Monument, three miles from the Jefferson Memorial, 2.5 miles from Union Station, and 1.3 miles from the Library of Congress. In between all those miles are bars, houses, churches, temples, mosques, colleges, middle schools, high schools, day care centers and museums.
This is where D.C. lives, breathes, works, and plays. The Navy Yard is where our friends work, the Waterfront is where they go to happy hour. Nationals Stadium, 1.1 miles away, is where they watch their games. This is not some government facility where giant steel doors guard an underground mountain passageway, this is not a place where faceless government drones hack out an existence under the watchful eye of the government. This is a place where the people of D.C., Maryland, and Virginia work, and they work to help keep the United States Navy in the best fighting condition that they can.
But D.C. is no stranger to homicides or violence. In 2012, there were 88 homicides in the District, and in 2011, 108. As of today, D.C. has 80 open homicide cases, up 33 percent from this time last year. Just across the river from the Naval Yard there have been seven homicides in 2013. In neighboring Prince George's County in 2011 there were over 80 homicides. It is not difficult to find someone in D.C. who has not heard gunshots outside of their window, had their car broken into, been mugged, or been assaulted. It is not difficult to find someone in D.C. who is faced with crime on a daily basis. Perhaps it is this constant barrage of violence, being surrounded by murder and death at a rate that puts the city at number eight on the most dangerous cities list that makes D.C. incapable of grieving the way the rest of the country grieves.
Though we have not suffered the simultaneous deaths of 12 people within our boundaries in a very long time, not a week goes by without seeing a tragic news story of one or two people being gunned down, and that desensitizes all of us.
Perhaps D.C. is suffering from the same national fate as Ft. Hood in Texas. Ft. Hood is basically in the town of Killeen, Texas. Ft. Hood is 4.1 miles from the Killeen City Hall, not out in the middle of the Texas desert. They received no "Ft. Hood Strong" support, there were no concerts to raise money for the families of the victims, nor is the government providing the families with benefits due a soldier who died in the War on Terror. Where is the call for aiding the victims of the Navy Yard shooting? Where is the call to hold concerts, set up charities, and make donations to these families? And why does the predominant outrage over this event concern itself with the type of gun the shooter used? Ft. Hood deserves better, and DC deserves better.
D.C. will go on. We have dusted ourselves off, and we will continue to live our lives the way we are expected to. But perhaps that process would be easier if the people of D.C. knew that the rest of the Nation was behind them, and that they had not already moved on to discussing how new gun control measures could have prevented this when the city of D.C. has yet to bury our dead. Perhaps the people of D.C. would be able to grieve if they knew that they were getting the same love, and the same support that the nation so readily and willingly bestowed on Boston, New York, Newtown, Aurora, and Blacksburg.
Until then, we ask everyone to take a moment to remember the dead, and we ask you to keep us all in your hearts.
From the city that is, has been, and will always be, DC Strong.

A New Technique to Shrink Tumors. . .
Fibroid tumors affect one out of every three women in her 30s or 40s. Although the majority of patients have no symptoms, uterine fibroids can cause pain and heavy bleeding that can lead to anemia.
Until recently the only treatment for fibroid tumors was a hysterectomy in which the uterus is surgically removed. But more and more doctors and medical centers are offering new alternatives to hysterectomies that are less invasive and can preserve a woman's ability to bear a child.
No one knows for sure why some women get fibroids and others don't. Genetics is likely to play a role, meaning that if your mother or sister has fibroids, you should be examined for them, says Dr. Jean Hundley, an OB/GYN at Mercy Medical Center in Colombia. African American women are more likely (40 to 50 percent) to develop fibroids than Caucasian women (30 percent.)
Other factors such as hormonal interactions could play a role as well, says Dr. James Spies of Georgetown University Medical Center's Interventional Radiology Department.
What to do if you suspect you have uterine fibroids?
First, talk with your gynecologist who will confirm the diagnosis with a physical exam and likely an ultrasound, says Dr. Spies. Most gynecologists will try a medical approach first, such as birth control pills or hormone therapy, or even a change in diet.
The role of diet is gaining increasing attention as a way to regulate hormone levels, particularly estrogen. Some diet advocates say switching to a low-fat vegetarian diet can curb the growth of fibroids and bring relief within a matter of months. If you can't give up animal products such as eggs, dairy and meat completely, try to cut down on the amount you do eat.
Avoiding salad dressing with oil (a major source of fat for women) is an easy way to reduce fat intake, says Judy Knapp, a licensed dietician at St. Joseph Medical Center in Baltimore. Eating a strongly-plant-based diet can help decrease fibroid growth, she says. A number of plant-based foods can affect hormone levels, especially soy products, which contain substances that lower estrogen levels.
Switching to a vegan diet has proven effective in studies of other gynecologic conditions affected by estrogen, such as Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS).
If medical approaches don't work, there are a number of alternatives to hysterectomy, says Dr. Hundley. Depending on the location within the uterus, fibroids can sometimes be removed via laparoscopic or hysteroscopic surgery, or myomectomy, which removes the fibroids but leaves the uterus intact.
A new approach, first practiced in Europe about five years ago, is uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), which blocks the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and die. In a Georgetown study of the technique on 61 patients with uterine fibroids, Dr. Spies found that 81 percent of patients showed moderate to marked improvement in menstrual bleeding, and that 79 percent had moderate to marked improvement in pelvic pain.
In UFE, a catheter is inserted into the femoral arteries; then small particles are injected into the uterine arteries where they travel to the fibroids and block the blood supply needed for their growth. The procedure requires an overnight stay in the hospital.
What's the best approach for you?
Factors to consider in what treatment is best for you include your future childbearing plans, and the type of symptoms you are experiencing, says Dr. Hundley. Treatment should be individualized to each patient.
Ask you doctor if you need treatment at all, says Dr. Spies. Many times physicians will take a wait and see approach to treatment. Ask your physician why the proposed treatment is the best for you, and what other options are available. If you feel you are not given a wide range of options, seek a second opinion. Despite all the alternatives around today, sometimes a hysterectomy is still the best solution.
For more information on UFE, call James B. Spies, M.D., of Georgetown Interventional Radiology at 202-784-3420 to make an appointment or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Gynecologists interested in information on the UFE procedure can review Georgetown Interventional Radiology's Physician's Resource.
To locate a physician who performs UFE in your region, visit the website of the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology.

Annual Events at ESF
Annual Events at ESF
These events are offered in the spirit of involving more people in life at ESF and providing opportunities to take a break! They are supported by the Undergraduate Student Activity Fee; most are without additional admission charge.
The orientation program at the College of Environmental Science and Forestry takes place the weekend prior to the first day of classes in the fall. Divided into four "tracks", the program is designed to meet the unique needs of various populations joining the ESF community (first year students, families, transfer students, graduate students).
Welcome Back Picnic
This is a day of outdoor fun and games, usually held on campus during orientation weekend. Softball, volleyball, Frisbee, hackey-sack, soccer, or just plain relaxing are some of the main attractions. All members of the ESF community are invited, and children are welcome. The food is delicious and plentiful!
Alumni and Family Fall BBQ
Held annually since 1913, this event offers the chance for your "home" family to meet and mingle with members of your "ESF family" including alumni, faculty, and staff. This old favorite is usually held in September or October.
December Convocation
The December Convocation is a formal recognition ceremony honoring students who complete their degree requirements in December. Featuring an academic procession, a keynote speaker and much picture taking, this event is usually held the last Friday before finals in the fall semester.
December Soiree
This is a semi-formal dinner-dance held the evening of the December Convocation. Sponsored by the student government and hosted by a team of student managers, the program includes fine food, student recognition, music and dancing.
Spring Awards Banquet
An annual event since 1913, this is a special occasion for the entire College. Planned and hosted by a team of student managers, the evening program includes student and guest speakers, recognition of students, faculty and staff for excellence in academics and service, and installation of new student government officers. This semi-formal affair includes dinner, music and dancing, and is usually held on Saturday, April 21 at 6pm in the Drumlins Country Club.
LEAD Series
The LEAD Series offers four workshops which provide opportunities for students to explore their own leadership style and skills. Regardless of your chosen career path there WILL be occasions in which the skills discussed in these sessions will be required. The LEAD Series is an interactive, practical leadership development opportunity for all ESF students. So, how do you participate? LEAD is offered each semester and runs for four consecutive weeks (one evening per week). Each session is just over an hour in length. Just show up...potential in hand! Note: anyone who attends all four meetings will receive a special recognition for their achievement (free gift!). Hope to see you at LEAD!
Referred to most often as simply "TG", Thank goodness it's Friday! gatherings are sponsered by student government about once a month on Friday afternoons in Nifkin Lounge. The Graduate Student Association also offers TG's for their constituency. TG's offer free refreshments, and are well attended by students, faculty and staff. It's wise to get there early; the faster the room fills, the faster the food disappears!
The remaining TGIF's are on January 27th, February 17th, March 30th, and May 1st.
Ice Cream Socials
Held at least once each semester regardless of weather, this event features free hand-dipped ice cream cones and sundaes.
The culmination of your academic career at ESF; the celebration is held in early May. After sharing a continental breakfast the degree candidates, faculty and senior administrators walk together to the Carrier Dome, where ESF and SU participate in a joint commencement ceremony. With much pomp and fanfare, degrees are formally awarded.

Not only does the above header rhyme (great: 2008), but it is true. 2008 was the last of the classic warm vintages that typify a Napa Valley harvest. The reds have great concentration, yet are all beautifully balanced at the same time. This is not an easy trick.
Since we sell the majority of our wines directly from the winery to individual consumers these days, you probably won't see a lot of these wine reviews posted on the shelves of your favorite stores. I thought I would take a moment to gloat and list the spectacular press that we have received recently.
Wine & Spirits Magazine
First let me start with the fact that we were chosen as a 'Winery of the Year' by Wine and Spirits Magazine for the ninth time!!! According to their statistics, there are only 25 wineries – in the entire world - that have received this honor more times than us. And many of these are much older than we are. They also chose our wines as # 19 and #35 of the top Cabernet Sauvignon's of the year, and #1 top Red Blend of the year (The 2008 Reserve)
2008 Reserve:
98 POINTS! #7 of the top 100 wines of the year: – Wine Enthusiast
95 Points Top Red Blend of the Year – Wine and Spirits
2008 Agira Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon:
94 Points and 'Cellar Selection' – Wine Enthusiast
93 Points – Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine
2008 Post Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon:
94 points – Wine Enthusiast

We registered for the Diaper Genie and ended up taking it back....I tried just a regular pail but it was stinky....I loved the Diaper Champ! No smell at all!
I would recommend that or just a pail if you take your trash out every day!
I used the Diaper Champ with DS and loved it...UNTIL DH said that even though it was full the bag was only half full and that's wasting bags...so no matter what he'd stuff it until you couldn't open it anymore...well thanks to him it constantly stinks when you open it.
I was given the Diaper Genie II by a neighbor who didn't need it anymore...I love it!!!!! So we're throwing away the smelly diaper champ and just using the Diaper Genie II. Well I'm not going to be able to lug that one out of DS's room every night for middle of the night diaper changes with LO, so we bought a second one for our room and living room. I highly recommend it, but I live in a complex and can't take the trash out multiple times a day. I will have 2 children in diapers and don't have the time or money to be wasted on trash bags and constantly going to the dumpster.
Ds is 2.5 and we still use our Diaper champ, but it lives in the garage now.
If you have sh!t sitting around in your house, it's going to stink. There's no avoiding it. lol. However, the Diaper champ worked pretty well until Ds started solid foods. I still like it as we use it. It keeps the smell to a minimum in the garage and bags up his dirty diapers for me so I can just toss them in the outdoor garbage on garbage day. Wet diapers we just toss in the regular indoor garbage can.

Don't miss your chance to go on a "Fantastic" Holiday Parade along Sample Road at the City of Coral Springs annual holiday parade, which will celebrate the season on Wednesday, December 12 at 7 PM.
The 2007 Holiday Parade will feature decorated floats and other entries with a sports theme, and will proceed along Sample Road from Coral Springs Drive to City Hall.
Our grand marshal this year is Florida Marlins Catcher Matt Treanor and Pro-Volleyball Player Misty May-Treanor. Former Miami Dolphin player Troy Stradford and Russ Morley of Morley in the Morning will be the masters of ceremony.
Traditionally, the parade draws thousands of spectators and more than 75 floats, bands and walking groups. All groups, including local schools, civic organizations, and businesses are welcome to participate.
Spectators should wear their favorite sports clothing and plan to make a night of it, as businesses along the parade route are encouraged to stay open the night of the holiday parade to serve those watching the parade.
Much of the success of the City's holiday parade is the result of generous corporate sponsors, including: ABC Roofing, Advanced Cable Communications, Coral Springs Auto Mall, Roofing Concepts Unlimited/Roof Doctors, AAA Trophy, Al Hendrickson Toyota, Country Club of Coral Springs, Edco Awards, Maroone Chrysler Jeep, Maroone Ford, Sun-Sentinel, Wings Plus, Winterfest, and 850AM WFTL Radio.
Please note that Sample Road west of University Drive and east of NW 110th Avenue, and Coral Springs Drive north of NW 29th Street and south of NW 37th Street, will be closed on December 12 from 5 PM until approximately 10 PM.
In case of rain, the parade will be held on Thursday, December 13. For more information, please call 954-345-2200 or visit coralsprings.org/holidayparade.

|Phoenix Specialty Manufacturing
In large part, Bamberg County residents can owe the presence of Phoenix Specialty Manufacturing Company Incorporated in their county to a friendship that developed during World War II. Were here because Ziggy Hartzog was best friends with my father (Robert Russell Hurst Sr.) from World War II, Robert Hurst Jr., owner and CEO of Phoenix Specialty Manufacturing told the large group of visitors at the company, Friday morning, for the February, Bamberg Chamber of Commerce Spotlight on Industry.
In 1966, Robert Hurst Sr. gave up his private legal practice in New York and went into the washer business and moved the business that started on February 22, 1907 in New York City to Bamberg and started Phoenix Southern Washer and Gasket Company, Robert Hurst Jr. said.
Hurst noted that now days, the state development board would pay dearly to have a company with 90 employees come to South Carolina. Back then we did it on our own. Were a family business, were glad to be here, Hurst said noting that he and his sisters and their families all live in Bamberg County.
Today, Phoenix Specialty is in the custom parts and specialty parts business where everything made is custom for a specific piece of equipment it will go on. Today, the company has 90 employees and will make over 30 thousand shipments this year and over 10,000 different types of parts will go out the door to over 2000 different companies.
We do a lot of parts for a lot of different people, all custom, all made to order. Aerospace is one of the strict standards the company has been operating under for years, with General Electric (GE) jet engines accounting for 40 percent of the companys business over the last decade. Hurst noted during discussion of the company that he was glad that Boeing Aircraft located a plant in Charleston, South Carolina.
Hurst noted that over the years the company has had its parts in the far reaches of outer space on the lunar project on the moon on the space shuttle, Mars Voyager and in the bottom of the ocean. Its somewhat endless where small parts can end up.
In a question and answer period, Hurst noted that like most companies over the last few years the company was hit by the recess the first half of 2009, which followed a record year in 2008. In 2010 the company was able to call most of its workers that were laid off in 2009 back to work and 2011 was another record year. The fact that the company is able to do orders in a three to eight day window has been to its advantage Hurst noted and he sees manufacturing is on the upswing in this country. The south has been good to us. Were glad to be here and we hope to continue to grow the business.

The Human Placenta Becomes Haemochorial at the 13th Week of Pregnancy

Histological specimens of recent implantation sites are the basis of our current concept on human embryo implantation and placental development. In the Carnegie Collection maternal red blood cells were detected early in the primitive intervillous space (10th-12th day after conception). These cells were localized to the trophoblastic lacunae and originated from distended peripheral maternal sinusoids (Kaufmann, 1981). The classical theory states that progressively more and more maternal vessels are tapped. A true maternal blood flow is established around the 29th day. Dynamic investigations of human placental development in vivo are scarce and hampered by ethical considerations and the absolute requirement to refrain from using non aggressive and potentially harmful techniques. Despite these limitations such studies provide new insights that surprisingly contradict our previously and seemingly definitely established knowledge of the early phases of placental vascularization, and lead us to conclude that there is an absence of maternal blood circulation in the intervillous placental space (IVS) during the 12 first weeks of human pregnancy.

The quantum yield of singlet oxygen production by eight newly synthesized sulfur and selenium analogs of psoralen irradiated with UV-A (366 nm) has been determined in CCl4 with the help of the steady state luminescence technique. The new psoralen derivatives are generally better singlet oxygen producers than psoralen itself. In particular, the replacement of selenophene for furan and/or of thiopyrone for pyrone induces an important enhancement of the singlet oxygen quantum yield.

The effect of estradiol-17β (E2) supplementation on superovulation with (PMSG) or (FSH) was investigated in Swamp buffalo. Sixty-eight buffalo were treated in seven groups. Group 1 served as control and was superovulated by standard PMSG or FSH treatment used in routine bovine embryo transfer protocols. Group 2 was superovulated by standard PMSG regimen plus two injections of E2 at a 48 h interval beginning one day before the onset of gonadotropin treatment (short-term supplementation) for a total dosage of 2.5 mg E2; Groups 3 and 4 received the same regimen as Group 2, but in doses of 5.0 and 7.5 mg E2, respectively. Group 5 received the standard FSH regimen (40% LH). Group 6 received short-term E2 (7.5 mg) supplementation of FSH-p. Group 7 was superovulated by standard FSH regimen (40% LH) plus three injections of E2 at 48–72 h intervals beginning five days before the onset of gonadotropin treatment (long-term supplementation) for a total dosage of 7.5 mg E2. The number of corpora lutea (CL) and follicles ≥ 8 mm in diameter were recorded by palpation per rectum and after slaughter. The mean numbers of CL and follicles were 0.99, 5.8, 8.0, 10.6, 4.0, 3.9, 8.1 and 0.25, 6.8, 6.2, 6.2, 1.6, 0.0, 4.1 for Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, respectively. In Group 7, the rates of nonsurgical and postmortem embryo recovery were 46 and 90.4%, respectively and 54.4% of the collected ova were fertilized. These results indicate the possibility of producing viable embryos in buffalo by using E2 supplementation for the gonadotropin treatment. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 42 (3 ULg)

The aim of this study was to determine the role of octreotide administration in acromegalic patients as a preparation for selective adenomectomy using transsphenoidal route. Octreotide was administered for 3 to 6 weeks before surgery in 12 patients and for 4 to 39 months in 25 patients. The clinical response was judged as excellent or good in 10 of 12 patients from group I and in 23 of 25 patients from group II. Marked reduction (ie, greater than 50% of initial values) in serum growth hormone (GH) levels was seen in all patients, with levels to less than 5 micrograms/L in 68% of patients and less than 2 micrograms/L in 27%. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels decreased to within normal limits in half the cases. During long-term treatment, an escape phenomenon could be seen. Varying degrees of tumor shrinkage were seen in more than 50% of cases. During surgery, with regard to the relative ease or difficulty in removing the tumor, the consistency of the tumor and the separation of normal from pathological tissue, no significant difference was observed between patients given octreotide and those from control series. Morphological changes in adenomatous tissue were rather small. The surgical outcome was similar in the pretreated series as in the control series, except in enclosed adenomas, which showed a tendency to a higher success rate. Since octreotide improves both the clinical condition and hormonal parameters and induces varying degrees of tumor shrinkage, it is potentially useful as an adjunct to surgery. Morphological data suggest that octreotide exercises a functional inhibitory effect on GH release. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 8 (1 ULg)

Techniques and methods required for accurate and reproducible measurements of transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi), were studied in seven-week and five-month-old calves. Since reliable pleural pressure measurement in cattle has already been described, separate experiments were conducted to compare retrodiaphragmatic pressures measured (i) with balloon-catheters and needle catheters, (ii) before and after eructation and (iii) in the ruminal and in the peritoneal cavities. Whereas respiratory-induced pressure changes were equally transmitted throughout the rumen content, a marked anteroposterior damping was observed as the recording site in the abdominal cavity was moved away from the diaphragm (P < 0.0001). It was concluded that the most appropriate and accurate way to measure Pdi changes in polygastric animals is to measure the pressure changes existing in the mid-thoracic portion of the oesophagus and in the liquid content of the rumen with balloon-tubing units. Neither growth- and diet-related rumen enlargement nor eructation, which are two typical characteristics of ruminants, altered the reliability of retrodiaphragmatic pressure measurements in the two age groups studied.

Fabulous Location!
My daughter and I stayed here during her Texas Tech orientation. It's just as described -- very convenient to campus, but private with great off-street parking. I walked to all the various parent orientation sessions within 15-20 minutes. The cottage is comfortable, well appointed and very cozy -- space is a premium, but it's exceptionally well used. The bathroom is small, but clean and adequate. Another reviewer noted that the lower ceilings in parts of the cottage might be a challenge to those 6 ft. tall and over, but give the cottage a try. Thank you, Don, for making this unique property available.
TT graduation stay
We had a wonderful time in this cozy Cottage. Dan and Margaret are great hosts. The house is located on the property of the Krueger house, one the most beautiful houses in Lubbock. We took the liberty of opening the back door (to the Krueger house grounds) and have our children play with the dogs and the tire swing in the yard. The cottage has a very nice Tempur Pedic bed (!) and we were able to fold open an extra day bed for our three year old and we brought a pack-n-play for our toddler and we had still plenty of space. We were missing some basic, salt/pepper and sugar in the kitchen, but the beers and bottle of wine made up for that. Dan even came by and dropped off a French cheese for us. Very considerate! Texas Tech is literally two minutes walk away just across the street and restaurants and shops are also close by. Thanks Dan and Margaret!

The simple answer to 'how big is the Milky Way?' is that the stellar disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter. The stellar disk is estimated to be 1,000 light years thick and the entire gaseous disk is around 10,000 light years thick, increasing to 30,000 light years at the nucleus. Knowing that a light year is about 9.5 x 1012km, so the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is about 9.5 x 1017 km in diameter.
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the Local Group of galaxies. It is merely one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe. All the stars in the night sky are part of the Milky Way Galaxy. The galaxy appears as a hazy band of white light arching around the entire celestial sphere. The light originates from stars and other material that lie within the galactic plane.
Dark regions within the band(the Great Rift and the Coalsack) are areas where light from distant stars is blocked by dark nebulae. The Milky Way has a relatively low surface brightness because of the interstellar medium that fills the galactic disk.
The galactic center lies in the direction of Sagittarius. From Sagittarius, the Milky Way appears to pass westward through many constellations. The fact that the Milky Way divides the night sky into two roughly equal hemispheres indicates that the Solar System lies close to the galactic plane.
In 2007, star HE 1523-0901 was estimated to be about 13.2 billion years old. As the oldest known object in the Milky Way at that time, it placed a lower limit on the age of the Milky Way. This estimate was determined using the UV-Visual Echelle Spectrograph to measure the presence of thorium and other elements. The age of other stars can be estimated in the same way.
Measurements of thin disk stars yield an estimate that the thin disk formed about 8.8 billion years ago. These measurements suggest there was a difference of almost 5 billion years between the formation of the Galactic halo and the thin disk.
The galaxy consists of a bar-shaped core region surrounded by a disk of gas, dust, and stars that form four distinct arms spiralling outward. Astronomers began to suspect that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy in the 1990s. This was confirmed by Spitzer Space Telescope observations in 2005. The mass of the galaxy is about 5.8×1011 solar masses.
Most of the mass of the galaxy is thought to be dark matter. This dark matter forms a dark matter halo that is spread out relatively uniformly to a distance beyond one hundred kiloparsecs from the Galactic center. The overall mass of the entire galaxy is estimated at 600–1000 billion M. Is that a large enough number for you?
We have written many articles about the Milky Way for Universe Today. Here's an article about the rotation of Milky Way, and here are some facts about the Milky Way.
If you'd like more info on the Milky Way, check out Hubblesite's News Releases on Galaxies, and here's NASA's Science Page on Galaxies.

Gears of War 2 creator Epic lashes out against used games
As a special thanks to loyal fans, five favorite Gears of War maps have been updated and made available to download and play in Gears of War 2 through this exclusive offer.
That's the text on a card you'll find in the box when you buy a copy of Gears of War 2. You'll probably thinking, "How nice! A little something extra from the developers at Epic." You tear the tab off the back of the card, type the code into Xbox Live, download the maps, and don't give it another thought.
What you probably don't think is "Why didn't they just ship the maps with the game?", "How "exclusive" is an offer when it comes with every single copy?", and "What's with that bit about "loyal fans"? Are there disloyal fans?"
This is another salvo in a quiet ongoing war waged by publishers like Microsoft and Electronic Arts against game rental services like Gamefly and the sales of used game. By adding special maps, weapons, or other downloadables via a one-time code, the resale and rental value of a game is partly hobbled. If you play Gears of War 2 by getting it from Gamefly, you won't get these maps. If you wait a few months and get a used copy from Gamestop, you won't get these maps. If you borrow your buddy's copy when he's out of town for the weekend, you won't get these maps. The implication of the message inside Gears of War 2 is that you're not one of the "loyal fans" (i.e. "fans who paid $60 into the normal retail channel").

Summer is right around the corner. As the weather gets warmer, it's time for you to break out those peep toes, sandals and flip flops. But after the past cold months, you can't help but feel self-conscious about your feet. You're nowhere near sandal-ready.
We asked Dr. Adriana Karpati, Summer Soles' resident board-certified podiatrist, for some pretty-feet advice, so you can bare toes with confidence:
Exfoliate dead skin and get rid of the calluses of winter
Cell turnover occurs constantly in the body to produce new skin cells. These new cells are made in the deeper layers of your skin. The process of "pushing" the new skin to the surface causes the older skin to exfoliate.
With the dryness of our feet during the winter, sometimes this shedding process just does not happen quick enough! A salt scrub and a good old-fashioned pumice stone will do the trick! The best place to do this is in the shower.
Dr. Karpati recommends Jericho's Relaxing Salt Scrub for your exfoliating routine.
Clean your toe nails
We tend to ignore the grime that builds up under the nail when toes are cold as we try to keep them bundled up. Fungus can work its way under the nail and onto the nailbed giving you nail fungus! Keeping the nails clean is essential in overall foot health.
When cleaning under the nail, use the clean pointed end of a cuticle stick. Gently work out the debris. Then, scrub under your nails with a sudsy nail brush.
Use the blunt end of the cuticle stick covered with a thin towel to massage the cuticle down. Dry them well, and apply cuticle oil all over your nails.
Beware of fungal infections
Dermatophytes is a general term being used to represent a group of fungi that most commonly cause fungal skin infections. Within that group, "tinea pedis" is responsible for athlete's foot and "trichophyton rubrum" is responsible for most of the nail fungus (a.k.a. onychomycosis). There is also fungus "amongus"—and once that takes hold, it feeds off of the dead skin cells.
In athlete's foot, this leads to irritation of the skin, which means more scratching and more shedding! In fungal nails, the buildup of fungus and debris under the nail causes nail discoloration, thickening and in some cases, loosening of the nail from the underlying nailbed.
Treat athlete's foot with the lamisil cream for one full month and wear protective shoe gear around pools, gyms and locker rooms. Don't forget to dry your feet well after bathing, and spray your shoes and sandals with an anti-fungal spray regularly to avoid a recurrence.
Nail fungus is much more difficult to get rid of. The most effective way to treat nail fungus is with a prescription oral anti-fungal. Most of the topical over-the-counter remedies out there like Clearly Confident's fungus treatments can improve the appearance of the nail, but will not kill the fungus under the nail. Spend your money wisely towards a prescription written by your podiatrist.

Clinical specializations build on Foundation Year required courses and the first-year field placement to expand a student's assessment, intervention, and practice evaluation skills. Students may choose from four different specializations, each addressing the specific needs of particular client populations. Although electing a specialization is not required, SSW concentrations allow students to delve deeply into an area of interest and related skills development through a combination of electives taught by faculty experts and a second-year field placement working in a related practice setting.
Child and Family Specialization
This specialization educates students for careers in schools, child protection settings, hospitals, and community-based mental health centers that include, though are not limited to, residential services, out-reach, health and education services, and home-based therapy. Child and family social work practitioners endeavor to improve child and family well-being by seeking out protective factors that exist within individuals and in the social contexts (e.g., family, school, work, neighborhoods, and communities) where children and families live.
Through this process, child and family practitioners work with people in their communities to draw on protective factors as a means to build capacity. As a result, children and their families learn how to succeed in social environments challenged by stress, poverty, disorganization, and/or oppression. Students in this specialization will learn skills in collaboration, assessment, child and family therapy, and multi-system interventions.
Sample Electives for Child and Family Specialization:
- SW-425 Family Approaches in Clinical Social Work
- SW-595 Child and Adolescence Assessment and Diagnosis
- SW-539 Social Work in Schools
- SW-566 Play Therapy: Theory and Practice
- SW-557 Clinical Social Work with Immigrants and Refugees
Trauma and Interpersonal Violence Specialization
Viewing early-attachment disruptions, neglect, trauma, and family, community, and global violence as a spectrum, this specialization prepares students to practice with victims and survivors, as well as their families and communities. Students also gain skills to work in settings such as courts, jails or prisons. Electives and field placements educate students to develop their competency and comfort level with a range of clients.
Students learn the social ecology of the criminal justice system, how to be an effective "guest" in a "host" environment (e.g., prison, court, police station, district attorney's office, etc.), and the assessment and treatment of involuntary clients informed by strengths-based models that embrace social justice. Students become equally equipped to work with juvenile and adult clients; males and females; victims and offenders; and individuals, families, and groups.
Sample Electives for Trauma and Interpersonal Violence Specialization:
- SW-482 Social Work Practice with Domestic Violence
- SW-528 Child and Adolescent Trauma
- SW-529 Forensic Social Work
- SW-582 Attachment and Neurobiology in Social Work Practice
- SW-588 Case-Based Learning in the Treatment of Childhood Trauma
Specialization in Mental Health and Addictions
This specialization prepares students for careers in mental health and/or addictions. This includes work with clients struggling with severe and persistent mental illness; those with addictions; and those with co-occurring mental illness and substance-abuse disorders who receive care in acute care settings such as inpatient units, detoxification settings, and partial or day hospitals. The specialization is also designed for students who wish to work with clients with psychological and social problems of a less severe nature who receive help in mental health clinics and family agencies.
In conjunction with aligned field settings, electives provide students skills in rapid and thorough assessment, evaluation, and formulation. Students learn to use several treatment modalities such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and group therapy. They will become skilled at developing various treatments and will deepen their theoretical understanding of mental illness, neurobiology, addiction behavior, and the treatment processes.
Sample Electives for Mental Health and Addictions Specialization:
- SW-438 Alcohol, Drugs and Social Work Practice
- SW-462 Advanced Group Work with Vulnerable Populations
- SW-475 Narrative Approaches
- SW-483 Cognitive-Behavioral Approaches and Treatments
- SW-578 Practice with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness
- SW-584 Psychodynamic Approaches to Work with Adults
Specialization in Health and Aging
Students in this specialization may concentrate in health or aging, or can combine both areas for a dual focus. Students will be prepared for careers as clinicians, case managers, program directors, and administrators providing social work services in a range of health care settings, including neighborhood health centers, community and rehabilitation hospitals, large urban medical centers, AIDS service organizations, home and community-based programs, long-term care institutions, and hospice programs.
Students focusing on Health will develop skills and expertise in clinical work with individuals and families in health care settings, skills in larger systems interventions, and an understanding of the social work role in interdisciplinary collaboration. Course content for this specialization reflects a diverse area of concerns, including experiences of illness, disabilities, and chronic conditions; spirituality; end-of-life care; and ethical and legal dilemmas. The psychosocial dimensions of care will be viewed in the context of current health care delivery systems.
This specialization focuses on the full range of health and mental health services for older adults, including those who remain in their own homes and communities. Course content reflects the areas of concern found in the health concentration, but also emphasizes life span, long-term care, and specific aging-related issues. Psychosocial dimensions of care are viewed within the context of health and social care systems. Health and Aging students have access to a diverse array of field placements and will learn relevant clinical skills for work with individuals and families in sites such as acute care hospitals, mental health facilities, social care agencies, assisted-living facilities, nursing homes, substance-abuse clinics, and faith-based organizations.
Sample Electives for Health/Aging Specialization:
- SW-478 Social Work Practice in Health Care
- SW-501 Social Work Practice with Older Adults
- SW-583 Advocacy and Social Action in Gerontology
- SW-463 Advocacy and Social Action with Disability and Chronic Illness

Winners of the Talis Incubator for Open Education fund announced
April 8th, 2010 - 2 comments - Posted by sarahb in General News.
Talis has announced the winners of its Talis Incubator fund set up in September last year to further the cause of Open Education through the use of technology. Interestingly, it was the small-scale nature of the funding – £1,000-£15,000 being awarded to each successful bidder – that seemed to prove most attractive to the learning technology community. Funding channels are already awarded elsewhere for larger projects, but these smaller allocations seemed to meet a need at grassroots practitioner level. The Talis Incubator has been able to attract an impressive group of individuals who together form the Talis Incubator Review Board. All six board members share a commitment to open practices within education, facilitated by technology, and see the Talis Incubator as an important way of helping get the best innovative ideas off the ground.
Following a lightweight open peer review of submissions, we're proud to announce the three winners of the first round of awards:
To date it has been difficult if not impossible to make changes to educational images – for example to introduce explanatory animation or enable interactivity with students – due to the underlying complexity of digital images and lack of interoperability between different image authoring software tools. Webducate's Drawtivity interface will make it easier to reuse educational images, and enable students to interact with those images, offering considerable potential for assessment activities. Andy Lane, one of the Review Board members, was particularly impressed with the potential for open assessment – remarking that tools in this area are badly needed. On receiving the award, Tony Lowe from Webducate said, "I am extremely excited about bringing this idea to life and also about getting to work more closely with the OpenEd community. I feel a bit daunted too considering the high standard of the competition and the interest this is likely to generate."
Moodle Course Repository
Joseph Thibault and his team plan to build a repository of every course ever created on Moodle, as most of the valuable content is currently locked up behind individual installations. The Moodle Course Repository would make it easier to share resources, activities or even entire courses, without compromising the security of users' personal data. Steve Ryan echoed many thoughts on the Review Board when he remarked that "if it achieves only a small part of what it sets out to do, it will be worth funding". Joseph said it was an honour to have the chance to advance Moodle and open educational resources worldwide through the Talis Incubator, and his team was "really excited to be giving users an easier way to share their content and find new course templates, resources and Creative Commons licensed materials". He added that "Teachers everywhere will be enabled to share. Students everywhere stand to reap the benefits."
The TwHistory project looks at the potential of Twitter to deliver exciting new ways to study history. Tweets are sent out at an appropriate day and time, as if a historical event were happening at that exact time. Using a group of volunteers, for example, the Battle of Gettysburg was tweeted using journals and letters from fifteen soldiers present at the battle. The project aims to simplify this process, enabling more educators, students and volunteers to create their own TwHistory events. David Wiley loved the idea, and noted that "it does seem to be gaining ground with educators. Making it significantly easier to do, as with the tools they're proposing, would fuel the fire." The Review Board was also excited about the potential of this idea beyond the field of history.
As Marion Jensen, TwHistory's creator and project manager explained, "We've spoken with many teachers and historians about TwHistory, and the idea has really generated a lot of excitement. But we see that excitement dim when we explain the rather difficult process involved. The generous grant from Talis will provide a simple way for students and teachers to create their own Twitter re-enactments, as well as find and follow other re-enactments on the web. We are very grateful to Talis for their support."
For Chris Clarke, Programme Manager of Talis Education Division, the high standard of all the bids received was impressive, and everyone at Talis looks forward to following the progress of the winners, and working with them to evaluate what the outcomes mean for learning and teaching in education.

Wish Summer Outing 2014
The Wish team headed to sunny Firle, about 20 minutes from Brighton, for a team outing yesterday. An afternoon of clay pigeon shooting, board game playing, drinking, eating and being silly in front of the camera thus ensued.
Dave, Dan and Tom put in sterling – and terrifyingly accurate – performances with the shotguns. Cards Against Humanity, Perudo and Banagrams drew out everyone's competitive edge. And black Sambuca meant that we nearly didn't make it as far as dinner. Fun!

As per ur senario, ur environment looking like Workgroup not a domain environment .
By default 2000 server and XP mechines will be in workgroup model.
Have u installed Active Directory in Windows 2000 server? … not then it wiil be workgroup model.
If it is a workgroup model,
1.Ensure that all the 3 mechines ( 2000 server, PC 'A' and PC 'B' ) are communicating with each other by using PING command.
2.Ensure that all the 3 mechines are in same workgroup.
3.Ensure that u have created both "abc" and "xyz" users in all the 3 mechines.
But this setup won't give much security. If u need more security, I will prefer u to go with Domain Environment. Which will give u the centralised user database and security. So that u can create user accounts in the server itself. no need to create in client mechines.
Pls go through the <a href="http://www.thatdamnpc.com/57/"> link </a> will give u the basic idea about workgroup and domain environment.
If you have any concerns let us know..
Thanks & Regards,

Dave & Veronica Read More
When Dave and Veronica read the story about 12 year-old Patrick MacGregor, they knew they wanted to do something to help him out. Patrick was politely asked to leave the Hernando County Government Center in Brooksville. He had been shining shoes for two dollars a pair, in order to raise money for a church-sponsored mission trip.
Dave and V wanted to be sure Patrick didn't miss out on the opportunity to attend this mission trip. So, they got ahold of him to help him out!

Product Label
The food you put into your body can have a big impact on how you look, feel and work out. MET-Rx Protein Plus was invented to give you the competitive advantage - especially when it comes to quality protein! Each high-protein serving provides better than a 5:1 ratio of protein to carbs to help meet your nutritional goals. Best of all, MET-Rx Protein Plus contains no added sugar, corn syrup solids, mono-or diglycerides and now is free of aspartame and hydrogenated oils - which means no trans-fat! THE SECRET IS IN THE PROTEIN SOURCE! The renowned MET-Rx protein formulation consists of METAMYOSYN, which combines premium whey protein isolates and casein protein, plus L-Glutamine and naturally occurring Branched Chain Amino Acids - Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine. Studies show that whey is a fast-acting protein while casein is slow-acting which result in a more prolongedabsorption rate to extend the delivery of amino to muscles. MET-RX Protein Plus gives you a firm nutritional basis to help build lean muscle in a low-fat, great tasting formula.
Add one to two (1-2) scoops of powder with 6-16 ounces of cold water or milk and mix thoroughly in a blender. Increase or decrease the amount of liquid to achieve desired consistency. Drink 1-2 servings per day. As a reminder, discuss the supplements and medications you take with your health care providers. Use MET-Rx Protein Plus any time of the day including: Immediately After Exercise: Makes an excellent post-workout shake by providing fast digesting proteins for immediate muscle support plus slow digesting proteins for extended amino acid delivery and recovery. With Meals: Drink along with your meal to increase the overall protein quality and content. You can also mix into oatmeal or add to recipes such as pancake and waffle mixes. In Between Meals: Keeps levels of amino acids elevated so your body doesn't go into a catabolic state that may otherwise lead to muscle loss. Before Bed: The high content of slow-digesting proteins in MET-Rx Protein Plus makes it a perfect before-bed supplement as it provides time-released amino acid delivery to your body.
As a reminder, discuss the supplements and medications you take with your health care providers. If you are pregnant, nursing or taking any medications, consult your doctor before use. Discontinue use and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur. Not intended for use by persons under the age of 18. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. STORE IN A DRY PLACE AND AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT. TAMPER RESISTANT: DO NOT USE IF SEAL UNDER CAP IS BROKEN OR MISSING. Contents are sold by weight. Some settling may occur.

Comments about Met-Rx Protein Plus Milk Chocolate - 2 Pound Powder:
I use it post-workout, 1 scoop works well, 2 scoops a little bit better. I used Med-Rx products years ago and the taste remains the same...not great but also not too sweet. Mixes well with water and/or milk; I prefer almond milk. Does help me with recovery; I'm not as sore the next day. I recommend pre- or post- but not both as it can be quite filling.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Meris designer Elizabeth Doherty will be hosting a Meris KAL starting July 9. If ever there was a sweater to knit in a group, this is the one. Its top-down, set-in sleeve construction is unusual. Not hard, just unusual. And it's a sweater of many a lovely knitterly detail: Sloped shoulders via short rows, dart shaping, and I-cord trim. Elizabeth is an expert knitter and she's already offering suggestions on fit and techniques on our Ravelry group. A great way to warm up for the project. You can also read her thoughtful comments on the sweater and her ideas on top-down fitting on her blog, bluebeestudio, and see more pictures of the cardigan and its details on our June 15 blog.
Meris is worked in Finch, a lanky 4-ply with great bounce and drape, in color Sorbet. But from a brief look at the starting discussion, people are planning to knit the sweater in Winesap, Peacock, Bird's Egg, Crocus–and more. All great choices.
If you haven't already seen Elizabeth's exquisite neck piece Millrace in our scarf collection, you can see it here.
Many thanks, Elizabeth, for setting up this KAL–much appreciated!

tation. Panel discussions exploring how guidance for users of DRIs could be enhanced closed the session.
Presenter: Christine Taylor
The issues surrounding general guidance for users are, overall, both wide ranging and overlapping. The purpose of this presentation is to offer some context for this session's discussions.
It is important at the outset to highlight at least two different interpretations of the term "uses" as they relate to DRIs because these interpretations have caused confusion. Some refer to the "uses of the DRIs" to mean their general purpose and intent, consistent with the conceptual underpinnings of DRIs. Others refer to "uses of the DRIs" when they are referring to the specific guidance for assessing and planning for individuals and groups. While these are not necessarily disparate, they each have a different focus. The purpose of DRIs is an important topic that properly belongs with those discussions relevant to conceptual underpinnings that occurred in Session 1. The discussions for this session on general guidance for users relate to the approaches outlined for applying the various DRI values to accomplish certain tasks.
From the 1940s through the late 1980s, the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) were issued with little or no guidance for users. With the 1994 expansion to a more complex set of reference values, the need to provide general guidance was evident. This guidance was offered in two publications: Applications in Dietary Assessment and Applications in Dietary Planning (IOM, 2000a, 2003a). These documents were the work of the Subcommittee on Interpretation and Uses of Dietary Reference Intakes.
The starting point for the guidance was the general categories of tasks commonly carried out using a nutrient reference value: assessing and planning dietary intakes for groups and individuals. These activities are often illustrated using a two-by-two table, shown as Figure 4-1.
In essence, as outlined in the two guidance publications, the DRI value to be used will differ depending on which activity is being carried out. For instance, in the case of guidance for assessing groups, the focus is on using the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) (not the RDA), cutpoint methods, and probability approaches. For guidance for planning for groups, the goal is identified as a low prevalence of inadequate intakes and consideration is given to definitions of acceptable prevalence of inadequate intakes. For assessing individuals, the guidance contains both qualitative and quan-

Over the last year or so, we have been through several real estate transactions and couldn't believe how frustrating the experience was. Even more important is the fact that everyone around us has been through the exact same experience while finding and buying real estate. If you needs to buy a 2BHK apartment, the frustration starts right at the first step. You look up real estate websites and come back empty - not because there's nothing in there, but because there are so many listings, so many duplicates, so many scammy looking listings that ...Continue Reading »

One more from the same year (sorry, but I think I only owned one suit and tie, lol...I have over 50 ties now )
This was New Years Eve in 77' or 78". We were on our way to the Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta, where we had partied consecutive years and rented out numerous rooms. The girl in the pic, Rhonda, lived upstairs from me in my apts. off campus. She was a business major, and she typed many of my papers...in return for me proofreading hers . She was in a bad car accident in her/our senior year, and she had to relearn how to talk again, let alone, write . She was a great girl, and one that I'll never forget....
