One of the enduring themes of Elizabeth Bishop's poems and stories is the idea and actuality of home. Home was a complex reality for Bishop, filled with nostalgia and ambivalence. Late in life, she asked, "Home-made, home-made! But aren't we all?" This line from "Crusoe in England" was cast on a bronze plaque and placed on the St. James United Church in Great Village, N.S., in 1992. The church sits across the road from Bishop's childhood home, a house which it can be argued marks the centre of her real and imagined universe; a house she evoked many times in her poems and stories. The house has changed since her time there in the 1910s and 1920s, but only somewhat. Much of what she knew, loved and questioned remains. The Nova Scotia poet Anne Simpson writes that visiting this house is a distinct experience: "How strange, yet oddly reassuring, to be part of the place she describes in her stories and poems: it was as though I'd been plunked down inside her imagination."
According to the History of Great Village, part of this house originally stood on Mount Pleasant (Scrabble Hill), along the road to Cumberland County. Elizabeth Bishop believed it had been "an old wayside inn of 'ill repute' that my grandfather had moved to the village – about 200 years old." Exactly when the move occurred is not known, but William Bulmer (Bishop's maternal grandfather) bought the property from Hibbert McLellan in 1874, as the place for his growing family to live. During the next several years he acquired various properties for his tanning business, including the tannery across the road (where the current Fire Hall is located), which he operated for decades.
Bishop's connection to this house began early in her life. One of her first memories was of learning to walk in her grandmother's kitchen. By April 1915 she and her widowed mother, Gertrude Bulmer Bishop, were resident in the village. In this house Bishop experienced the most formative event of her life, the breakdown of her mother in 1916: "She stood in the large front bedroom with sloping walls on either side, papered in wide white and gold-dim stripes. Later, it was she who gave the scream."
The house was the centre of Bishop's world until October 1917, when she was taken back to Worcester, Massachusetts (where she had been born), by her paternal grandparents. This removal resulted in serious illness. Bishop was sent to recover and live with one of her maternal aunts in Revere, Massachusetts. In 1919 her family brought her back to the village and the house, and she returned every year, usually for long summer vacations, until she entered Vassar College in 1930.
Upon the deaths of William and Elizabeth Bulmer (1930 & 1931), the house was sold to Norman and Hazel Bowers. When Hazel Bowers died in 1996, the house was bought by Paul Tingley, who had it designated a Provincial Heritage Property in 1997. Paul lived in and cared for the house until 2004.In November 2004 a group of Nova Scotians and Americans, all devoted fans of Elizabeth Bishop's work, came together and purchased the house, which is now called the Elizabeth Bishop House. The house remains a private dwelling, but the co-owners are committed to sharing it with other Bishop fans and with artists of all disciplines. This artists' retreat is part of a long-standing tradition in the village. Ever since her death in October 1979, residents of Great Village have welcomed visitors coming in search of Bishop's childhood home and the village about which she so frequently wrote. Bishop pilgrims have been knocking on the door of the Elizabeth Bishop House since 1980, wanting to experience that sensation of stepping into part of this great poet's imagination.
Bishop knew that things changed. She was resigned to and interested in change. The Elizabeth Bishop House does not seek to recreate exactly her childhood environment. This house has always been simply and directly a house, a home, which undergoes natural evolution with the passage of time. What it seeks to do is provide a space for new creativity, in the tradition of expression which has always been a part of its existence.

In 1978 Bishop told Alexandra Johnson in an interview, "I've never felt particularly homeless, but, then, I've never felt particularly at home. I guess that's a pretty good description of a poet's sense of home. [S]he carries it within [her]" (102). After 1930 Bishop returned to Great Village only occasionally (in 1946, 1947, 1951 and throughout the 1970s). But as she moved out into the world, she took her experiences of Great Village with her as touchstones. What Elizabeth Bishop carried within her was a vivid sense of space and time, shape and colour, a multi-dimensional perspective, a layered memory, which emerged first in Great Village, and which helped her navigate the world. Somewhere inside her mind, her childhood home, an "inscrutable house," endured as an aesthetic template, anchor and exemplar.

The Grumpy Man's New Rules
6. New cars will be equipped with a button that raises a sign that says, "Hang up and Drive." This is written inverted so it can be seen in rearview mirrors and regular so it can pop up in the side window as you pass. When I get behind a slow-moving vehicle that is veering off the road and then pass to see someone looking down and punching numbers into their phone, I feel I should have the right to make a citizen's arrest. "Hey man, what's the charge?" I'll say, "The charge is stupidity." And I want one of those Looney Toons boxing gloves on an extendable arm things. Knock 'em right out of their seat.
7. Text exchanges do not have to end like letters from summer camp. The ease that has been added to life by being able to leave a message and not talk on the phone is awesome, because I HATE talking on the phone. I love texting something like, "Meeting going late – home by 4 p.m." The best response to such a text is "OK." I love that, but no — that's too easy, too rude, too inconsiderate. Instead of "OK," my bride writes, "Why?" What does she mean by that? What does she mean "Why?" Because it is! You mean I have to write out an explanation? Just say OK, and I'll explain it in person later! Now all the efficiency of the quick text is lost, see? By comparison, if she's running late, she'll text me and I will respond "OK" and she will write, "Don't you want to know why?" How can I win with this? Gotta pass a law.
8. I also want a comprehensive ban on radio commercials that tell you that only the first 50 callers responding to this commercial will get the free sample or special price. People, you hear the same commercial on the same station multiple times every day, then you hear it on other stations. So the "first 50 caller" thing is a lie and should tell you about the credibility of the product that's being advertised! Don't be such a pinhead! Like the "Made for TV" product commercials that say, "Wait, we'll include a second for FREE!" Have you noticed they then say, "… just pay extra shipping." The extra shipping charges are enormous! Therefore, the real cost of the item is not reflected in what the flashing-on-the-screen price says.
Oh man – I look over the list and I see the kids may be right. But maybe not, because I think I have been thinking about things like this my whole life, not just as I cross into my 50s.
You don't have to be a cranky old man to expect people to think and comprehend, right? So maybe I won't get any new laws passed, but maybe I can at least influence the first lucky 50 readers who see this article …

At about 1:35 p.m. Ottawa firefighters responded to a burning structure 933 N. Poplar Street that appeared to be a garage or storage shed. No injuries were reported in the incident, Richard Oglesby, assistant chief of the Ottawa Fire Department, said at the scene.
The fire was extinguished about 30 minutes after it started, Oglesby said. The cause of the afternoon blaze still is under investigation, he said.
"We're waiting for a utility crew to get here before we do much more in there," Oglesby said indicating the shed that was mainly filled with tools. Oglesby said he did not think there was anything hazardous inside the shed at the time of the fire.
Oglesby said he was not able to make a damage cost estimate at the time of the fire, but said the building appeared to be a total loss.
Neighbors concerned about their own property came out of their houses to watch as crews worked to put the flames out. Even after the flames were extinguished thick, black smoke continued to rise into the air and was visible from several blocks away. The shed was not attached to the main house at the address although it was about 10 feet from it, and some grass between the two buildings did catch fire.
Traffic was diverted around the incident that closed the 900 block of North Poplar.

By Suzannah Evans | Photos • Tim Calver and Joe Walsh
Actress Kate Walsh is an established television star, best known as the driven neo-natal surgeon Dr. Addison Montgomery on the hit shows "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice." But when the actress wanted to lend her fame to the greater good, she came to Oceana. It was a perfect fit: Kate, a native Californian, has a natural affinity for sea turtles. And the character that made her famous, Dr. Montgomery, could perhaps relate to the staggering odds that face just-hatched sea turtles as they struggle toward the sea.
As the face of Oceana's Save Sea Turtles campaign, Kate stars in a print, online and television campaign. She traveled with Oceana's experts to the Virgin Islands this summer to witness sea turtles both laying eggs and hatching. While in St. Croix, she spoke with Oceana marine biologist Kerri Lynn Miller.
To learn more about Kate's trip to the Virgin Islands and to see exclusive photos and videos, visit http://oceana.org/turtlesoffthehook.
Kerri Lynn Miller What makes you interested in sea turtles?
Kate Walsh As a kid, you love turtles. When I started diving and snorkeling and swimming with them, I found them to be totally majestic, incredible creatures. You know, they've been around since prehistoric times; it's incredible to see them. They're so graceful in the water.
KLM What do you think your involvement can do to help sea turtles?
KW I'm hoping to raise awareness because I think that most people don't know that they are an endangered species. I want them to be around for many generations to come. And I think that if more people know what's specifically happening that fishing gear is catching and killing sea turtles, they can take action to prevent it.
KLM Why did you decide to partner with Oceana?
KW Oceana is one of the biggest and most comprehensive ocean conservation groups in the world. For me, it was always a natural fit. I grew up in northern California and I was always at the beach as a kid, so the ocean is
a huge part of my life. I love the ocean. When I was a kid, for a while I thought I wanted to be a marine biologist. So it's a natural fit to be involved with ocean conservation.
KLM What was your first impression when you saw sea turtles in the wild?
KW The first ones I saw were the baby leatherbacks. They're so tiny, and they work so hard to be born and there are so many natural, environmental things working against them – when they do finally hatch out of the
eggs and they do this long walk to the ocean, it's just incredible. And then to think there is so much against them, it's such an arduous journey, their whole life, so you think whatever we can do to make that easier and not scoop them up in a big fishing net, that'd be great.
KLM So what do you think your take away message will be from this trip with Oceana?
KW It was amazing to be able to swim with the sea turtles and experience them hatching. They struggle. I think one of the most profound things is seeing the leatherback babies, they struggle so much just to be born and to make it to the sea, so I'm hoping that we can at least do our part and ensure that they have a fighting chance once they get in there.
I want to get the word out and make people aware about the challenges facing sea turtles. I also want to help get legislation enacted to keep harmful fishing techniques to a minimum and help protect the sea turtles.

What should you eat after gallbladder surgery?
- Q: My husband had gallbladder surgery a few weeks ago and is having diarrhea and pressure in his stomach. What should he eat now and what should he avoid?
- A: The gallbladder lies just below the liver and stores bile, which aids in the digestion of fats. When something goes wrong with the gallbladder, the most common symptoms are pain under the ribs on the right side of the body and nausea. Because the gallbladder does not actually produce the bile (bile is produced in the liver), the gallbladder is an organ the body can do without. When the gallbladder is removed the bile is stored in the bile ducts, which are small passageways that lead from the liver to the intestine. More than 50 percent of people have digestive problems after removal of their gallbladder, especially when it comes to digesting fats. The reason for this is because the gallbladder is no longer there to control the release of bile into the intestines after eating a meal. The bile now flows out of the liver at a more regular rate, but also in smaller amounts. It can take a few weeks for the body to get used to this change, and that may explain the symptoms of bloating, diarrhea, and gas especially after eating fatty foods. It is best to avoid high-fat foods including fried foods, such as potato chips or french fries, high-fat meats like sausage or bacon, high-fat dairy products like ice cream, creamy soups, cheese, and chocolate. High fiber foods or gas-producing foods may cause some stomach upset as well. Most people can return to a normal diet within a month after having gallbladder surgery. However, if your husband is continuing to have digestive problems, consult with the doctor for guidance based on his health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action.

World Poker Tour Invitational, Day One
At the end of day one, there are 98 players left. I am in 68th, with T17500, which is just about half of the average stack of T32000. BJ has a complete list of the players and their stacks over at PokerPages, and of course Pauly has the best live blog on the Internets, which includes a ton of pictures.
I don't have many exciting tales of my own to tell, because I was severely card dead for most of the tourney. I swear to jeebus, if the object of the game was to get 93o, I would have too many bracelets to count, man.
I don't think I ever lost a hand, which was pretty nice, and the hands that I won paid off nicely. A couple I remember: early on, I was in the BB with Q7o. It was folded to the SB, who completed, so I checked and we saw a flop of AQx. I knew he'd only call a bet with an ace, and I wanted to know if my queen was good. I decided that if he called, I was done with the hand. I bet about 1/2 the pot, and he called, so I was finished . . . until a queen hit the turn. Now I knew I was way ahead. I put him on a medium ace, and figured that he probably did the same. The turn went check check, and he checked the river. I bet just under the size of the pot, with a "I have a weak ace and I hope to scare you away" sort of bet, and he said, "well, I'm going to see if I out-kick you," as he called. "I have a queen," I said, "and the ace is my kicker."
He laughed, and mucked. "Oh man! I didn't see that coming!"
I also limped into a pot from the button with JTo. The flop gave me a OESD with the Qs-9x-Xs and s out. A couple of pre-flop limpers checked to me, so I made a semi-bluff of about 2/3 of the pot, and got called by the Big blind, who was an extremely smart and solid player. The turn was the Ks, and I picked up a whole bunch of outs. In fact, I picked up so many outs, I made a loose call when he bet 1/2 the pot, even though I knew I wasn't getting any more money out of him if I made my hand. I spiked the As on the river to make the A-high flush, and bet the pot.
"Nice catch," he said, flashing me a red king as he folded.
Even though I won the hand, I think it was the only hand I played poorly. I had a ton of outs, but if I'd missed, it would have hurt.
Jason Alexander was moved to my table, which also featured Tom Everett Scott (who finished third in this last year) and Mike Sexton. Jason was so cool, and so funny, and seemed like a genuinely nice guy. About two hands after he sat down, he said to me, "Hey, Wil!"
I should point out that we've never met.
"I almost didn't recognize you," he said. "Stand By Me is one of my favorite movies of all time, man."
The one seat smacked the felt. "That's where I knew you from!"
I should also point out that the one seat was Allen Kessler.
Jason and I mixed it up a few times, and I took a couple of large-ish pots from him. One time, I open-raised from MP with presto, hoping my tightness would let me end the hand right there, but Jason called and we saw a flop of A-5-x. As Vince Van Patten would say, "there are fireworks going off in Wil's head now, Mike! He has to hope that Jason made a hand with that ace."
I checked, hoping to induce a bluff that would allow me to check-raise for the benefit of the entire table, but Jason checked behind me. Damn! The turn was the ten of clubs, which was a little scary if he was playing KQ, so I bet about 2/3 of the pot. Jason thought for a minute, and called.
The river is a queen, so the board is A-5-x-T-Q. Now I have to wonder if Jason has KJ, and I'm fucked. I've seen him play cards like that before, but I've also seen him play KQ and KT. I also know that he has to give me credit for a real hand here. I think for a second, and decide that he doesn't have KJ, because I don't think he calls my bet on the turn with a gutshot and king-high.
"Well, Jason, if you've got me, you've got me." I said, as I pushed the rest of my chips in. I think there was about 2800 or 3000 in the pot, and my stack was only about 8000 or so.
Jason went into the tank for so long, I knew I was ahead. "I don't know if I do, Wil," he said. I put him on KT. He sighed, and mucked his cards. "I think you bluffed me out of that pot," he said.
That is exactly what I wanted you and everyone else at this table to think, I thought.
A level or so later, Jason limped from EP, and it was folded to me in the SB. I had pocket eights, so I raised. I'd seen him play a lot of big over cards, and I knew that if I could get heads-up with him, I could probably outplay him. It was folded back to Jason, and he called. The flop came out A-5-5 rainbow. Aw, shit.
In a nano-second, something Heather and I talked about a few weeks ago flashed through my mind: What would I do if this flop hit me? I'd check, of course. So play it that way. If he bets, you know you're beat and you're done. If he checks, you may be able to take it away later in the hand. I checked, and he checked behind me. The turn was another ace, reducing the chances of Jason holding an ace. I looked up at him, and everything about him said that he hated this board. I can't explain what it was, or how I knew, it was just something that Blinked into my mind. I continued to represent the ace I hoped he thought I had, so I checked. He checked behind again. The river was a complete blank, and I bet out about 1/2 the pot, which is exactly what I'd do with an ace there. I figured the only way he was calling was if he had the ace, and I was pretty sure he'd fold any other pair, up to jacks.
"Are you bluffing me again, Wil?" He said.
"Probably," I said. I looked right at the board and imagined stacking his chips.
He sighed. "I don't think you are. Good hand."
He mucked, and I raked in another good-sized pot. I heard my brother's voice in my head: "You're killing Independent George!"
A little bit later, this sweet girl named Marissa moved to our table. I guess she's on the TV show Stacked. She didn't have many chips, and the pros took what little she had by moving against her on the flop, pretty much regardless of their cards. She had never played poker before last night, and though she was in over her head with these guys, she was clearly having fun, and even said that she was just looking for a good hand to bust out on, so she could go out with some dignity.
Allen eventually busted her with 93o vs. her A-little, when he paired his three. She was a really sweet girl, and we were all sad to see her go. Especially when her seat was filled by John Juanda.
Some of you may have read that I busted John. This is true, but it's not as exciting or masterful as you may think. John was crippled when Jason flopped Broadway for the nuts, and John made aces up on the turn. A few hands later, Daniel Negreanu came running over to our table with some guy I didn't recognize, and said to John, "Can you eat ten Saltines in sixty seconds?"
"What?" John said, and everyone else at the table thought.
"Saltine crackers. Can you eat ten of them in sixty seconds?"
John thought for a second while he looked at his cards.
"Yeah, I think I can," he said.
"Okay!" Daniel said, with a little hop. "Juanda is my horse! You get half my action, John."
"Let's do it!" John said, and shoved his last 1000 or so into the pot. It was folded to me, and I figured that the BB and I were calling based strictly on odds and probably checkint it down. That is, until I woke up with pocket aces.
"I have to raise," I said. While I thought about what amount would get the BB to maybe call with something that I could survive, he folded J2o face up.
"Go ahead and play it out," he said. "I'm not playing this."
I flipped up my aces, and John flipped up KQ. I flopped an ace, busted John Juanda, and ended up with about 16K after the whole thing was said and done. John and I shook hands, and the WPT cameras captured the whole thing. Daniel was putting on quite a show for them, calling for cards and stuff, and it was pretty funny, so it stands a good chance of making the broadcast, especially if I make it deep today.
I went back to being card dead, until I found A2h in the BB. It was folded around to Allen Kessler, who completed. Allen had been playing very aggressively, and had stolen a ton of my blinds. My M was pretty low at this level, though, and I wasn't taking this hand to war, so I just checked, hoping to get some help from the flop.
The flop came out Ax-Kx-Qh. I checked, and Allen bet about the size of the pot. I had to stop and think for a minute. Did he have an ace? I guess he would limp with a weak ace, but that seemed very unlikely, based on his aggressive play. Did he have a king? Maybe he had a king, and I could beat that with my weakest of aces. Does he have a jack, and he's on a draw?
"You're thinking about this so long, you have a piece of that flop," he said.
"I do," I said, " and so do you."
I almost folded, until I recalled something I read on Columbo's blog last week: what's the story of my hand? What's the story I'm telling? In other words, what does he think I have? He can't possibly put me on an ace here, because he knows I'd probably pop him pre-flop if I had one, right? And I think he raises with an ace, which means he paired his king or his queen, and I'm almost certainly ahead in the hand, even with my pathetic kicker.
My M was shitty, and I knew that if I just called he may be able to outplay me later in the hand. I also knew that if I raised, I was committed until the end, so I wanted to put my chips in when I was pretty sure I was ahead. I jammed.
"I'm all-in," I said.
He jumped a little in his seat, like he'd touched a live wire or something. "Well, I guess you're serious," he said. He thought for a minute, and showed a queen as he folded.
"Your king was good there," the player between us (who I later found out owns Bay101 in San Jose) said. I was proud of myself, and grateful to Columbo for the post on his blog, which put what is essentially level 3 thinking (what does he think I have, and what does he think I think he has?) into terms I was able to understand and apply to my game.
Shortly after that hand, our table broke, and Allen and I were moved to a table with Jon Favreau and Barry Greenstein. Jon was all-in, and Barry called as we sat down. John Kelley also called, and they saw a queen-high flop as I stacked my chips and set Darwin on the table. John Kelley pushed, and Barry called. John turned up AQ for TPTK, and Barry turned up AA. Jon Favreau sighed and turned up 44.
"This is sofa king cool," I thought to myself. "I get to watch Barry Greenstein bust two players with aces!"
The turn was a blank, and the river was . . . a four. I don't know who was more shocked, Barry or Jon. I've watched Barry play a lot of poker on TV, and I've never seen him steam, but he looked as close to pissed as I've ever seen. It was a brutal suckout, and the poker gods paid Jon back on the very next hand when all the money went in pre-flop between Jon and one of the hosts of Live at the Bike, (either David or Bart. I can't remember, because it was after midnight at this point. Sorry, David or Bart!). Jon had AKo vs. ATs. The flop came K-high, but a Ten on the turn took away about 1/2 of Jon's stack.
"The river giveth, but the turn taketh away," I thought. Then, "Okay, you're getting punchy because you're tired, and this is when you make stupid mistakes. Settle down, tough guy, and stay focused."
I didn't get involved in any hands at that table, which broke quickly, and sent me to Table 19, which was a seriously terrifying table: David Williams, Evelyn Ng, Alan Gohering, and my 2005 WSOP nemesis, Paul Darden, who looked at me like a one-night stand he'd completely forgotten about.
My M was about 6.5, and with only the final six players making the money in this tourney, I decided that I was going to double up or go home, but I'd do it smart, so I folded for about fifteen minutes, until I found AQo in EP. I open-pushed, got no callers, and that was it for the day.
I bagged up my T17500, which I knew was way below average and meant I'd have to play very fast today, but I didn't care about that. Even though I was mostly card-dead, I played very smart poker yesterday. I stayed out of trouble, let the other players beat up on each other, always got my money in ahead, and made the most of the cards I did pick up. I never tried to get cute or too clever, and I can honestly say that I played to the very best of my ability. The fact that I have nearly twice my starting stack, despite the epic string of lousy cards I got, is something I'm very proud of.
I drove home to the sounds of Underworld's AHundredDaysOff, and didn't fall asleep until after 3am.
I go back to Commerce today at 6. Here's my draw, courtesy of PokerWire:
Seat 1: Steve Lipscomb $47,900
Seat 2: Amnon Filippi $34,700
Seat 3: Wil Wheaton $17,500
Seat 4: Scott Fischman $94,600
Seat 5: Tom Lock $34,600
Seat 6: Adriano Zimonyi $47,300
Seat 7: Coley Laffoon $61,300
Seat 8: Judson Swimner $58,600
Seat 9: Blair Rodman $25,900
I actually like this draw a lot. I know what I have to do with my chips, and there are big enough stacks (*cough* Scott Fishman *cough*) to take shots at busting me if I pick up a decent pushing hand. It's also nice to know that I start out the day with just two moves: push or fold.

Dear Editor:
As I read about the town council's (5-2) vote to pull all of its funding for the running of the Visitors Center (well run now by the Chamber of Commerce) and turn those funds over to the TTC, I was struck by a strong sense of deja vu.
I remembered the surfacing of the "True Friends of Reservoir Hill" a while back. The "True Friends" consisted of five of the seven town trustees, "acting in the best interest of the 'community'" who took a sketchy outline of a business plan, full of untested assumptions about income and expenses, ignored legitimate feedback, worked outside of the public eye and acted unilaterally to radically change the character of a perfectly fine community asset (Reservoir Hill Park).
They met with a massive defeat at the hands of the town voters.
At a Sept. 11 town/county work session on the Visitors Center, there were pledges by everyone around the table to move carefully and thoughtfully forward together, to gather facts and understand the costs and lots of rhetoric about working as a community. Only Commissioner Whiting asked for a complete plan with financials and asked why we were "fixing something that didn't seem broken."
I read the mayor's comments about us being "one community … or in a boat together" or something like that. David Mitchem waxed about communicating better going forward. I agreed. I was encouraged about the whole community working through to a possibly exciting new direction, together.
This latest vote to defund the Visitors Center, consisted of five of the seven town trustees (the same five), "acting in the best interest of the 'community,'" who took a sketchy outline of a business plan, full of untested assumptions about income and expenses, ignored legitimate feedback and acted unilaterally to radically change the character of a perfectly fine community asset (Visitors Center).
Are they now the "True Friends of the Visitors Center?"?With "True Friends" like these, who needs enemies?

The rising global demand for fossil fuels, coupled with increasing concern about global warming, have made the search for affordable alternative energies a matter of local, national, and international importance. The path towards alternative energy infrastructures for the 21st century requires careful consideration of economic, environmental, technological, and political factors. This interdisciplinary course will blend current events, guest speakers, lively discussion, and a wide array of literature to separate fact from fiction in the heated debate concerning our nation's energy and climate future. Topics will include: i) an overview of America's current energy structure, including the science and technology underlying each energy source, ii) a review of key energy policies and precedent from the last several decades to present, including the Kyoto Protocol and the new California carbon mitigation bill, and iii) a look into the future of America's energy structure, with an emphasis on emerging technologies and policy development. Students will write briefs on topics covered in the first half of the course and, for the second half of the course, work in teams to conduct independent research into an energy-related question of their choosing.

This course is a quantitative discussion of the physical properties of earth materials and dynamic processes in the solid Earth. We will closely follow Geodynamics by Turcotte & Schubert, in covering topics in stress and strain, elasticity and texure, heat transfer, gravity, fluid mechanics, rock rheology, and crustal faulting as mechanisms and consequences of plate tectonics.
EAS4314Credits:3.00Lecture:3.00Prerequisites:EAS 3610
Introduction to elastic wave propagation, and studies of the solid Earth's interior and earthquake source from seismic waves. Credit not allowed for both EAS 4314 and EAS 6314.
Volcanic eruptions are the surface expression of the transfer of mass and volatiles from the deep interior of the planet. Violent eruptions rapidly transform the landscape and impact the atmosphere on short timescales, and the integrated history of magmatism has played a central role in the production of the crust and the degassing history of the planet. The fluid dynamics of volcanoes span a vast array of phenomena from viscous magma flows to turbulent, multiphase eruptions. This course will trace the path of magmas from their ultimate source in the mantle, storage and evolution in the crust, through eruption at the surface where they interact with the landscape and atmosphere.

3 reasons why "tail risk" investment pitches sound like tall tales
July 06, 2011
Hang on to your savings accounts - Wall Street has a new investment pitch for you.
This shouldn't come as a surprise. The investment community's marketing machine is nothing if not resourceful. So the mood of the country is stubbornly pessimistic? So people won't buy the usual get-rich-quick schemes? Then Wall Street won't fight the gloom-and-doom, they'll find ways to exploit it.
An up-to-date example of this is selling investments that guard against something called "tail risk."
What is tail risk?
Tail risk is the possibility of something catastrophic happening, even if there is only a small chance of it occurring. The term has its origins in visual representations of probability statistics. Grouped in the middle are high-probability events. Distributed more sparsely on the ends - or the tails - of such graphs are events with just a half percent probability of occurring.
Protecting against these tail risks is Wall Street's latest pitch.
Flaws in the reasoning
Being prepared is good. Hedging risk is good. And yet, the "tail risk" sales pitch seems to cross the line from effectively managing risk to simply preying on people's fears.
After all, there is no reason to believe these tail risk investments will actually pay off in the event of a disaster. On the other hand, there are reasons to doubt the approach:
- Almost by definition, those low-probability, catastrophic events are hard to foresee. In other words, how do you know you are hedging against the right tail risk?
- The complex investment strategies involved might not work correctly - especially in a time of financial upheaval.
- The cost of hedging can be prohibitive. One investment pro recommends investing 1 percent of your portfolio to guard against tail risk. If you invest 1 percent to guard against events with a half-percent chance of occurring, you'll quickly run out of money to invest in more likely outcomes.
Ultimately, at a time when stock returns come in fits and starts, bond yields are low, and interest on savings accounts is even lower, investors can ill afford to spend anything on what is essentially a form of insurance with very questionable effectiveness.

Diabetes health centre
This information is for people who have type 2 diabetes. It tells you about metformin, a treatment used for type 2 diabetes. It is based on the best and most up-to-date research.
Does it work?
Yes. If you have type 2 diabetes, taking
What is it?
Metformin is one of a group of drugs called
Your doctor might tell you to take metformin on its own or with another drug to lower your blood glucose.
How can it help?
If you take metformin, your blood glucose will be better controlled than if you take a dummy treatment (a placebo). [40]And your blood glucose may be better controlled than if you just watch what you eat. [41]
Metformin may help lower your haemoglobin A1c level by about one point to two points. [41] [42] [43] [20] Doctors use the haemoglobin A1c blood test to see how well you are controlling your diabetes.
Over 10 years, your level may be better than if you are just careful about what you eat. [20]
Metformin seems to control blood glucose levels at least as well as other diabetes drugs, and possibly better than sitagliptin and vildagliptin. [44] [45]Metformin is also less likely to make you gain weight than thiazolidinediones or sulphonylureas. [41] [46] [47] [40] [48]
If you are overweight and take metformin to control your diabetes, you may live longer than if you just try to watch what you eat. [20]
How does it work?
Metformin helps lower the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood in two ways.
First, it causes your liver to make less glucose. This means that less glucose goes into your bloodstream.
Second, it causes your muscles to use up more glucose from your blood.
Can it be harmful?
Metformin can make you feel sick. Or you might not feel like eating. It can also give you diarrhoea. But if you take metformin with food, these side effects may not happen so often. Or your doctor can start you on a low dose and increase it slowly.
If you take metformin, you may be slightly more likely to get low blood glucose ( hypoglycaemia) than if you just watch what you eat. But you're less likely to get this than if you take a sulphonylurea or insulin. [20] [44]
Metformin has long been thought to increase the risk of a rare condition called lactic acidosis. When this happens, you get too much lactic acid in your body. This chemical makes you feel sick to your stomach. You might also not feel like eating, have a stomach ache, throw up, lose weight, and feel very tired. Lactic acidosis usually happens in people who have heart or kidney problems or are over 65. However, reviews of the research have found that people who took metformin were no more likely to get lactic acidosis than those taking different drugs for their diabetes. [49] [48] But we need more research to look specifically at metformin's safety for people with kidney problems and other conditions that raise the risk of lactic acidosis.

Most people believe personal contacts are necessary to secure jobs
29 Apr 2014 Flash News
ONLY some 6 percent of Slovaks believe they could easily find a job without having the proper connections to help them.
This stems from a survey conducted by the profesia.sk job portal, as reported by the Sme daily. Based on the survey data, 40 percent of Slovaks do not believe they would stand a chance on the job market without acquaintances. This belief rises with lower levels of qualifications and higher age, Sme reported.
"The interesting thing is that also one quarter of students who do not have a lot of experience with job searching think they cannot get employed without acquaintances," said Marcela Glevická of profesia.sk, as quoted by Sme.
There is a thin line between recommending someone for a job and securing a job for one's acquaintance.
Business representatives are split in theirs views of personal recommendations from employees. While Pavol Konštiak of the Republican Union of Employers welcomes recommendations from employees, Rastislav Machunka from the Association of Employer's Unions claims that in serious private companies there is no room for such recommendations, unlike in public administrative positions, Sme reported.
Opposition MP Miroslav Beblavý, former Labour Ministry state secretary, says that personal contacts play a role in searching for a job everywhere in the world.
"The problem arises when they do not lead to the selection of the best candidates, but rather to cronyism, as we often see in Slovakia," Beblavý said, as quoted by Sme.

As you may know, YHS is an association that arose from the successful launch of the Young Hoteliers Summit at the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne in 2010. This Summit was the first entirely student run hospitality Summit bringing together students from leading hotel management schools around the world.
YHS now acts towards improving professional opportunities for young talent in hospitality by fostering a dialogue on employment between Hospitality Companies, Educational Institutions and the Young in Hospitality, ultimately developing actionable proposals, aligning its three main stakeholders regarding their mutual expectations, capacities and aspirations.
The YHS Rankings are an integral part of YHS achieving its mission to improve opportunities for young talent by putting global hotel companies in the spotlight. As such, hospitality students worldwide are asked to give their perception of hotel companies as employers and recruiters.
HOSCO encourages all its registered student members to participate in this initiative by taking the YHS Rankings 2012 Survey. The link to the survey is available to all students on their HOSCO Homepage once logged-in.
For more information and to access the 2011 Rankings please visit yhsglobal.com

Officers thwart 'suicide by cop' attempt
Posted By Sun News On November 5, 2013 @ 5:04 pm In News | Comments Disabled
A 20-year-old man who had threatened to commit "suicide by cop" was subdued by Sonoma police at gunpoint Monday night in the Maxwell Village parking lot.
The Windsor man was aggressive and belligerent when police responded to the scene at 8:45 p.m. "He was simulating that he had a gun," Sgt. Dave Thompson said. "His plan was to get shot by police."
Earlier, the man's father had contacted the police department with a warning. The young man was mentally unbalanced and planning to create a "suicide by cop" scenario, the father said. He urged Sonoma police to be on the lookout for his son, who had recently been released from jail.
When the call came in regarding a disturbance at Starbucks, the background information helped officers prepare for the confrontation, Thompson said. The suspect stood in the parking lot, taunting the officers and telling them to shoot him, then took off running. He evaded the deputies, but soon returned and resumed his aggressive behavior.
Officers, guns drawn, took position behind signs and parked cars. "It was a super tense moment," Thompson said.
Given the background information, and how the suspect was moving his hands beneath his shirt, "we had a feeling that he was bluffing."
The man took off running again, back towards the retail shops and along the sidewalk to Rite Aid, where he was tackled and tasered. Even after being handcuffed, the suspect continued ranting and raving, Thompson said, and kicked wildly when finally inserted into a police car.
The man was initially charged with felony resisting arrest, and violating

Serving those who serve the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) by
providing Benefits and Assistance.
Call to Health, a member health initiative, is designed to help improve overall member health by encouraging members to make the most of their preventive care benefits and by identifying and managing chronic conditions. As a member, you can lower your individual and family deductibles for 2015 by answering the Call to Health.
After October 1 …
When you participate in Call to Health by completing specific health actions by September 30, 2014, your individual and family deductibles for 2015 will be reduced to 1.0 percent of effective salary (as determined by salary range and subject to the medical participation minimum and maximum). For members who do not complete the health actions, 2015 deductibles will be 1.5 percent of effective salary.
Only the member (employee) needs to complete the health actions below.
Some health actions, such as preventive exams, will be recorded automatically; others you will need to record online. To record your health actions, go to myactivehealth.com/pcusa, log in, and choose Call to Health from the left menu. Navigate through the health actions that apply to you. Shortly after your last health action is complete, you will receive a message on myactivehealth.com/pcusa stating that you have completed Call to Health and earned reduced medical deductibles for 2015.
For details on how to complete each health action, view the Web module Answering the Call to Health in 2014: A Tutorial on Qualifying for a Lower Medical Deductible in 2015 (see the column at top right), or look in Your Guide To Answering the Call to Health in Booklets and Publications (top right).
Call to Health is available to members with medical coverage through the Highmark PPO, including
Members enrolled in Anthem were mailed plan-specific information on Call to Health for members with Anthem coverage in February. This information includes the specific health actions, deductible information, and process to follow. Call to Health is not available to members enrolled in Triple-S, Cigna Global Health Benefits, or the Medicare Supplement Plan in 2014.
Most health actions are covered under the Medical Plan at a $0 copay. The in-network vision screening has a $25 copay with VSP and a $45 copay with a Highmark provider you see for a medical condition of the eye. The CREDO conference has a $500 participation fee.
As members of the PC(USA), we are part of a community of faith, relying on one another for spiritual, emotional ― and even physical ― support. In caring for our physical health, we are better able to achieve our own ― and others' — overall well-being. Call to Health reflects our respect and gratitude for God's gift of health, supports our obligations to ourselves and our families, and is integral to caring for the entire faith community.
We are all Called to Health!

A forensic profiler whose previous cases have included the Natalie Holloway disappearance and the O.J. Simpson double murder says Barack Obama is confessing to stealing the 2012 president election.
ŌĆ£Obama appears to unconsciously confess on multiple occasions that in his secret fury he stole the 2012 presidential election ŌĆō continuing his attacks on our nation,ŌĆØ Andrew G. Hodges, M.D., told WND in an assessment of Obama.
ŌĆ£But really that is no different whatsoever than in 2008 becoming an illegal president who violated the Constitution. This knowledge comes from one undeniable fact: we have discovered a new unconscious mind that continually quick-reads situations and communicates about it ŌĆō as Obama reveals.ŌĆØ
Hodges, who wrote┬ĀŌĆ£The Obama Confession: Secret Fear, Secret Fury,ŌĆØ┬Āpreviously deciphered the JonBenet Ramsey ransom note from the Boulder, Colo., murder case.
He uses a unique psycholinguistic technique he calls ŌĆ£ThoughtPrint DecodingŌĆØ to ŌĆ£read between the linesŌĆØ of peopleŌĆÖs statements ŌĆō called ŌĆ£the cutting-edge of forensic scienceŌĆØ by expert investigators. HeŌĆÖs not exactly new to the field, already having identified killers by studying ransom notes, emails, letters and police interviews to spot secret confessions. He decoded O.J.ŌĆÖs ŌĆ£suicide noteŌĆØ to confirm Simpson had committed a double murder. He deciphered the JonBenet ransom note from Boulder, Colo., to identify the childŌĆÖs killer. He decrypted letters from BTK to predict that he was about to kill again ŌĆō the only profiler to do so. He studied statements by Joran van der Sloot and Deepak Kalpoe to tie them to the slaying of Holloway. He showed how Casey Anthony secretly confessed to killing her daughter in 200 letters written to a jail mate. He even decoded Bill ClintonŌĆÖs Lewinsky comments.
See all the details in HodgesŌĆÖ book ŌĆ£The Obama Confession.ŌĆØ
In a new analysis for WND, Hodges explains that Obama not only confesses, but he suggests a solution for Americans.
ŌĆ£ObamaŌĆÖs deeper moral compass continues to provide guidance to America on how to combat his assaults. In his U.N. speech he repeatedly referred to courageous protesters. ŌĆśThey should give us hopeŌĆ" remind us that so long as we work for it justice will be done; that history is on our side; and that a rising tide of liberty will never be reversed.ŌĆÖ Repeatedly, he tells us ŌĆśprotest,ŌĆÖ ŌĆśmarch for justiceŌĆÖ and we can become a rising tide. Citizens still have the power,ŌĆØ Hodges said.
That there are questions about the 2012 election has been reported numerous times by WND.
In HodgesŌĆÖ assessment: ŌĆ£Following ObamaŌĆÖs presidential reelection impressive findings have emerged pointing to a fraudulent election. A brief summary reveals precincts in Ohio and Pennsylvania reported greater than 100 percent of registered voters turned out to vote. In 100 precincts in Ohio Obama got 99 percent of the votes. Pennsylvania illegally removed GOP poll inspectors from voting locations. Computer irregularities in Pennsylvania (and elsewhere) reverted to a default Obama vote no matter who the voter selected.ŌĆØ
He continued, ŌĆ£Florida prevented absentee ballots from being observed by neutral observers. Military ballots were systematically denied active-duty servicemen and women around the world.ŌĆØ
So he said all he had to do was sit back and wait for the confession.
ŌĆ£One thing is for certain ŌĆō if Obama stole this election he would confess unconsciously. We now review that possibility from his own mind, listening for his all-seeing unconscious super intelligence to once more tell us how he truly sees himself deep down. As I described in my book, ŌĆśThe Obama Confession: Secret Fear, Secret Fury,ŌĆÖ Obama has repeatedly confessed to his misdeeds of his illegal presidency and sweeping attack on America for four years.ŌĆØ
He explains his observations:
ŌĆ£On election night after initial voting reports declared him the winner, Obama once more unconsciously pointed to a confession. Before his anxious and relieved supporters, Obama spoke of his pride in his daughters but commented, ŌĆśBut I will say this for now, one dogŌĆÖs probably enoughŌĆÖ ŌĆō on the surface referring back to promising his daughters a puppy after his 2008 victory,ŌĆØ Hodges said.
ŌĆ£But stay with his spontaneous right-brain image. Understand he could have chosen any matter on which to comment and any description but his brilliant unconscious mind which always speaks in a symbolic right-brain language ŌĆō and carefully chooses its images ŌĆō selected ŌĆśone dog is enough.ŌĆÖ
ŌĆ£Read his confession that America has just elected a dog of a president ŌĆō and once was enough,ŌĆØ Hodges said.

Lone Ranger
After a quick spin around the garden this morning I spotted this little guy sunning himself on a newly opened Blackcurrant leaf. I find the leaves on fruit bushes fascinating. They are always an interesting shape and usually a glorious colour too. If there was a design – it's a pretty good one.

Wonderful photo. I think you have two ladybirds there planning on making more. lol.. i adore ladybirds as they are beneficial insects to the garden :-)
# dandyon 08 Mar 2012 at 9:45 am
How can you tell the difference beyween our own ladybirds (good) and Harlequin ladybirds (bad) ? I think it's that Harlequin ladybirds have two tiny white marks just behind the black head – is this right? I don't want to squish the goodies so I don't squish any but I don't want the baddies. ??? Please.
How bizarre! I found one this weekend perched on a raspberry leaf. Wish I'd taken a photo now. Love you blog by the way.

TUESDAY, Jan. 28 (HealthDay News) -- People with spinal cord injuries should be assessed for sleep apnea, researchers suggest.
In a study that looked at 26 people with cervical (neck) and thoracic (upper mid-back) spinal cord injuries, investigators found that 77 percent of them had breathing problems during sleep and 92 percent had poor sleep quality.
The nature of the breathing problems experienced by these patients during sleep is complex, and many of them had both obstructive and central sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea causes the airway to collapse or become blocked during sleep, while in central sleep apnea, the brain fails to send the proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
Central sleep apnea was more common in patients with cervical spinal injuries than in those with thoracic spinal injuries, according to the study published recently in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
"The majority of spinal cord injury survivors have symptomatic sleep-disordered breathing and poor sleep that may be missed if not carefully assessed," lead author Dr. Abdulghani Sankari, physician scientist at John D. Dingell VA Medical Center and Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, said in a journal news release.
"Our findings help in identifying the mechanism of sleep-disordered breathing in spinal cord injury and may provide potential targets for new treatment," he added.
Breathing problems during sleep may increase spinal cord injury patients' risk of cardiovascular death, noted study co-author Dr. M. Safwan Badr, the president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
"All spinal cord injury patients should undergo a comprehensive sleep evaluation using full, overnight polysomnography for the accurate diagnosis of sleep apnea," Badr said in the news release.

The U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has more about spinal cord injuries.

Pretty poor timing after this also hit today, but what else can they do besides fire Mike D'Antoni and replace him with a new coach that DH likes in the hopes of him then deciding to stay in L.A.?

Why this Friday should be your Black Fridayon October 8, 2012 @ 10:13 am (Updated: 12:44 pm - 10/8/12 )
Maybe the stores decorating early for the holidays are doing us all a favor because a two-year study has revealed that now might be the best time to get your Christmas shopping done.
While retailers do a great job advertising a handful of major bargains in the form of "door busters" on Black Friday, The Wall Street Journal reports they have intense "plot pricing strategies" meaning that coveted watch or toy will actually cost you more in November and December.
For example, on average, watches and jewelry prices began a steady increase in the months leading up to December. Flat screen TVs also got pricier closer to Christmas. The lowest prices were found in October.
Do your bank account a favor and predict what the hottest toy is now. Snatch it up before it too, gets more expensive, and supply runs low. The study found the Sesame Street Elmo plush toy jumped 31 percent from its average price in Sept/Oct. just days before Christmas.
Of course, not every price tag jumps. The data revealed the price of a KitchenAid Artisan Mixer dropped 20 percent by mid-December.
Sears and KMart were found to have some of the biggest discounts, but regular priced items are still prominently displayed on Black Friday. And last year, Apple slashed its iPad prices. You could also get an Xbox for a little cheaper on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But the WSJ says those were exceptions to the rules.
It turns out the stores are using Black Friday to clear inventory and sacrifice those old products in order to get you into the door, hoping you'll notice the regular priced items or the hot items with a big price tag.
The Wall Street Journal used Decide Inc. to analyze the data collected over two years. The study used online sales numbers because in-store prices vary market to market. So some of the door buster specials aren't reflected in the data.

The sentencing of a 42-year-old Meridian man convicted of second-degree murder has been postponed.
The Idaho Statesman reports (http://bit.ly/1004tpb) that 4th District Judge Michael McLaughlin delayed Rob Hall's sentencing from Thursday to March 21 so that prosecutors can have more time examining a mental health evaluation.
The evaluation found Hall is suffering from depression and would be a low risk of reoffending if released back into society.
Hall was convicted Oct. 25 in the March 2011 shooting death of his wife's lover in a drugstore parking lot.
Hall's attorneys say the handgun fell out of Hall's sweat shirt pocket during a struggle with Emmett Corrigan. The attorneys say Hall has no memory of firing a gun, but had he fired it would have been in self-defense.
