The Scottish National Equestrian Centre just outside Broxburn always offers a good selection of shows and classes for Scotland's show jumpers.

6. Get more from your monitoring.
Using a blood glucose meter is only helpful if you know how to respond to your numbers. While low blood glucose numbers (lower than 70 mg/dl) demand immediate attention, in general, it's best to look for trends or patterns in your blood glucose numbers, rather than to focus on isolated numbers. You will inevitably see some variation in your numbers from one day to the next, but what's important is whether your numbers are usually in your target range first thing in the morning, before and two hours after meals, at bedtime, etc. Patterns of out-of-range numbers mean that you need a change in some aspect of your diabetes regimen.
The format you use to write down your monitoring results can make it easier or more difficult to see patterns. Your diabetes educator may be able to recommend a particular format or logbook. Two monitoring logs that can be downloaded for free from the Internet are the Accu-Chek Testing in Pairs tool and the Accu-Chek 360˚ View tool. The Testing in Pairs tool is designed to help you see how meals, exercise, or other activities or events affect your blood glucose level over seven days. The 360˚ View tool shows how different meals affect your blood glucose level and energy level over three days. Both forms are intended to be discussed with a health-care provider after being filled out. To find the forms, go here:
www.accu-chekconnect.com (Click on "Discovery Tools," then select your preferred tool.)
7. Start a conversation.
Is there something you'd like to tell someone in your life about your diabetes? Would you like to inform a family member, a friend, or your doctor about the challenges of managing your diabetes or the effects it is having on your lifestyle or body? Do you need to ask for help in some area?
No matter what the specifics of your desired communication, it can be hard to know how to start conversations of a personal nature, even — sometimes especially — with the people who are close to you.
It helps to think through what you want to say before you say it. It also helps to think about how, when, and where you will start this conversation. Would a phone call be best? Or would a face-to-face meeting work better? It's often a good idea to let the other person know ahead of time that you'd like to have a conversation on a particular topic. That way he is not taken off guard and can truly set aside other concerns to focus on you.
Be aware of your own emotions connected to what you want to say, and be prepared for the other person to have an emotional response to your information — but don't assume that you know what those emotions will be. Try to stay calm and nondefensive. After you've stated as clearly as possible what you want to say, give the other person time to absorb it and respond. Listen carefully, and watch for nonverbal cues to better understand what the person is saying and feeling. Be prepared to take a break and revisit the topic at a later date: It may take a while for your message to sink in, or for the other person to sort out his thoughts and emotions.
Communication is difficult. If your efforts to communicate feel fruitless, seek help. Working with a therapist is a good way to learn to communicate more effectively, but you can learn more on your own, too. Here are some resources:

NEW YORK—The United Nations must remain in the lead in the fight against international terrorism by decisively facilitating international cooperation and coordination to address this global threat, the Philippines said today.
"The Philippines has consistently maintained that the UN must remain at the forefront in combating international terrorism," Ambassador Hilario G. Davide, Jr., said in the statement on the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which he delivered before the UN General Assembly.
Ambassador Davide said UN agencies must now decisively facilitate international cooperation and coordination efforts by calling on Member-States to come out with measures to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism; prevent and combat terrorism; build State capacity to prevent and combat terrorism and strengthen the role of the UN system; and ensure the respect for human rights for all, the Rule of Law as the fundamental basis of the fight against terrorism.
"These tasks must create a seamless web of activities aimed at addressing international terrorism and maintaining the Rule of Law," Ambassador Davide said. "Needless to stress, the tasks are formidable and demand courage and political will."
"Even as we continue to cooperate and coordinate our efforts in the international arena in this regard, we must also maintain the requisite attention and vigilance within our borders to address the elements and conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism; and to hold terrorism in check before it spreads its wickedness, violence, iniquity and immorality, and imposes a reign of fear, destruction and death," he said.
In implementing the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, Ambassador Davide said the Philippines formulated a comprehensive political, social and economic package for peace and security; a comprehensive legal package that brings terrorists to justice, plugs the loopholes in the legal system and ensures the protection of human rights; and a broad alliance for technical support, cooperation and preparedness.
"From the Philippines' experience, economic development, social justice, human rights protection and political and judicial reforms are powerful instruments against extremism and terrorism," Ambassador Davide said as he also cited the cooperation between the government and civil society in addressing these problems through interfaith and intercultural dialogue and understanding.
The ambassador also said that Philippine implementation of the global strategy was boosted by the enactment of the 2007 Human Security Act that defines and penalizes terrorism and the conspiracy to commit terrorism.
"The Act declares it to be the policy of the Philippines to protect life, liberty and property from acts of terrorism, to condemn terrorism as inimical and dangerous to the national security of the country and to the welfare of the people, and to make terrorism a crime against the Filipino people, against humanity and against the law of nations," he told the General Assembly.
Ambassador Davide also mentioned the continuing program of bilateral and multilateral cooperation in the field of capacity building and technical training and preparedness in combating terrorism. He cited the long standing commitments on training on law enforcement, customs clearance and border control with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States and with the governments of the European Union.
He said the Philippines also spearheaded the creation of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation's Anti-Terrorism Task Force in a move to secure the Asia Pacific Region from terrorist acts.
According to him. the Philippines has also joined forces with the other ASEAN member states in adopting a Convention on Terrorism which calls for greater cooperation among ASEAN member States in combating all acts of terror.
"These counter-terrorism efforts in the bilateral and multilateral levels aim at securing the Philippines maritime borders, trade, aviation, remittances and cross-border financial transactions," he said. ###

Can simvastatin cause a 12 pound weight gain and lots of joint achiness?
- Q: Can simvastatin cause a 12 pound weight gain and lots of joint achiness?
- A: Zocor (simvastatin) is a medication used to treat high cholesterol and triglycerides. Common side effects to Zocor are headache, constipation, stomach pain and muscle pain. The muscle pain or aches are medically termed Myalgia. Many times muscle aches are common when Zocor is started or the dose is increased. Many times muscle aches are not an issue but in <1% of patients there can be serious side effects. Rare side effects associated with Zocor should be reported immediately to a physician. These rare side effects include memory loss, depression, joint pain and a condition called rhabdomyolysis (a breakdown of muscle tissue). Most symptoms of muscle aches or pain should be reported to the physician to rule out any major concerns. Zocor can also cause an increase in liver enzymes. Liver enzymes are usually evaluated by a simple blood test done by a physician. The good news is that reports have shown Zocor is not associated with any weight gain. The joint aches are probably attributed to the Zocor but the 12 lb weight gain probably is not. For more information on Zocor please visit http://http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/

WASHINGTON, November 28, 2013 – Excellence and innovation still thrive in American and global commerce, exemplified in many entrepreneurial companies that are solving critical problems, offering extraordinary customer service, products and services and helping right our wayward global economic ship.
Many thousands of promising companies in the United States and abroad offer optimism that the private sector can still contribute in hugely constructive ways to the betterment of our society and troubled economic state.
Here are ten such companies, leading the three economic sector engines of finance, healthcare and technology, that stand atop their peers as the world enters 2014:
1. CHMB stands for California Healthcare Medical Billing. But it serves healthcare providers in nine other states as well, including giants Texas and New York, and plans to keep expanding. Obamacare, whatever happens with it, increases paperwork. And cutting through the paperwork, making it understandable and manageable, is just what this Escondido, California-based company does for doctors, hospitals and health systems.
Importantly, CHMB also manages IT systems, provides training, optimizes workflows and monitors government compliance in the increasingly complex healthcare sector.
2. Macroaxis offers investors a platform for analyzing and measuring their personal investments. Markets are rising now, but what a roller-coaster ride it's been since the September 2008 panic. Worried about another crisis, investors seek risk management. Macroaxis' tools serve small, medium and large investors as well as financial advisers and financial enterprises.
The investment sequence sports three parts. First, the Portfolio Analysis checks an investor's current portfolio. Next, Portfolio Optimization identifies the most optimal mix of investments. Last, Portfolio Suggestion gives the investor better options, making personal preference paramount. Two dozen other tools put sophisticated analyses, formerly available only to top financial firms, at investors' fingertips. Macroaxis is located in San Francisco, part of the San Francisco-Silicon Valley fault line of the new technology earthquake.

3. Echopass recently was acquired by Genesys, fashioning a formidable new team for cloud technology-based contact centers. The match is perfect because Echopass has run Genesys' software since 2000, driving Echopass to an industry-leading nearly 20 percent of the hosted automatic call distribution market.
The new team provides solutions for attracting and keeping customers on a global scale – with total security. It's based in Pleasanton, California, next to Silicon Valley.
4. NETSAS is an acronym for Network Management Solutions for Enterprise Networks. Its Enigma Network Management System electrifies solutions for clients. Problems with management audits? Performance analysis? Multi-vendor networks? Mission critical networks? NETSAS solves them.
The Australia-based firm is poised to service even more of the vast and expanding Asian computer market, as well as U.S. and other clients.
5. LiveView GPS tracks vehicles. Are employees joy riding on a company's time and gas card? Track them. Other uses of LiveView GPS systems include calculating the fastest and most fuel-efficient fleet supply routes over time and locating misplaced or stolen vehicles.
The tracking software runs on PCs and on such mobile platforms as iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry. The company is based in Valencia, in Southern California, the major hub for Asian and Latin American imports that spread out across America.
6. Mavatar's motto, "Shop better," says it all. Everybody wants cheaper prices. And every retailer insists it has the best deals. But the only way to know for sure is to compare. Mavatar lets you do that without traipsing door to door – or website to website.
What's more exciting, on Mavatar you can compile "wish lists" of stuff you want to buy, then share them with your friends. Shopping + Social Media = savings + fun. Even if a woman can't afford that $2,000 gown, she can boast to her friends that she found the best discount. Retailers available through Mavatar include some of America's best recognized retail brands, including Macy's, Bloomingdale's, GAP, Old Navy, Nordstrom, Banana Republic, Neiman Marcus and others.
7. Navatar Group launched in 2004 specifically to venture on cloud technology at a time when the concept still was nebulous to most people. Solving the problems of large financial services firms, it early teamed up with Salesforce.com. Starting out with cloud applications for capital markets sparked early success and encouraged Navatar to expand into products for hedge funds, mutual funds and mergers and acquisitions.
Triumphs with small firms soon led to signups by such major companies as M&T Bank, Jefferies & Co. and PNC Bank. Navatar's Force.com platform cuts costs so much that customers usually are able to slash or eliminate their own IT departments. Headquartered on Wall Street, offices in New Delhi and Paris help service companies in more than 30 countries – as cloud technology proves increasingly vital to the functionality of global finance institutions.
8. Pay Per Cloud eliminates the need for companies to own any hardware for web hosting. Unlike similar companies, Pay Per Cloud prides itself on controlling every bit of its services. Nothing is resold from outside sources. This complete control means the firm maintains the highest quality, reliability and performance.
Pay Per Cloud builds private clouds that clients themselves manage. Or Pay Per Cloud itself will manage a cloud for convenience. Its PayPerApps feature means clients pick, and pay for, only needed applications, skipping those not useful. The Folsom, California-based company's emphasis on security from the start, and security always, places it in the vanguard of cloud solutions for clients understandably anxious about computer viruses.
9. Saleem Technologies strategically operates from Perth, Western Australia to exploit the continent's burgeoning natural resources industries. It specializes in IT for mining and petroleum companies, and for related construction firms.
Saleem sets up and runs a mother lode of services, including tracking and managing materials and assets to eliminate waste, GPS and barcode tracking, custom software and systems for logistics and supply. As Asian industries continue to rely on Aussie raw materials, the need for Saleem's services only will grow.
10. Telebroad stretches beyond typical phone systems to ring up cloud systems of unparalleled flexibility. Unity is the key. The firm's Brooklyn, New York headquarters wires directly to its offices in India. And its PBXcellent System is an umbilical cord uniting phone lines with phone systems.
At Telebroad, security, flexibility and customization drive customer satisfaction. As the global communications revolution accelerates, Telebroad prides itself on asking for no installation charges, no hidden fees and no commitment – while delivering PBXcellence.
The global economy enters 2014 at something of a crossroads with traditional industries stumbling, job creation at record lows and the gross domestic product (GDP) of most industrialized nations sluggish to a point of great and understandable global concern. Will 2014 represent a turnaround for the global economy? Time will tell. In the meantime, though, private sector companies like these ten appear poised to help usher in a new era of innovation, product and service excellence—and, in so doing, maybe more than a little optimism that brighter days lie ahead.

Comments about Womens Altra Olympus Trail Running Shoe:
The only con I can think of is that it is a bit heavier than I am used to in a shoe. Especially for racing. For short races I still wear my Newtons, which have a low drop and a wide toe box. But really, the Altra is otherwise the perfect shoe. The fact of the matter is, it is as light as it can be considering all of the cushion.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Altra Olympus Trail Running Shoe:
The tongue is too short so when the laces are place in the last hole they have a hard time staying on the tongue. Once on the tongue, they do stay put for my entire run.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Altra Olympus Trail Running Shoe:
After waiting months for the 10's to arrive, they are still too short! The cushioning is great with a roomy toe box, but I just can't see sizing up to a 10.5 from my usual 9.0/9.5 in most RRS shoes.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Altra Olympus Trail Running Shoe:
I had a metatarsal stress fracture. This shoe has worked wonders for eliminating forefoot tenderness and stress. I tried a couple of other kinds of shoes but still had problems. The combination of zero drop, max cushioning and foot shape worked magic for me. I love this shoe.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Altra Olympus Trail Running Shoe:
These seem to have great cushioning, and are cute in clunky way. But they are VERY short. I usually wear a 9 or 9.5, but I'm going to have to try a 10 instead.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Altra Olympus Trail Running Shoe:
I've been looking for shoes to replace my old Cumulus 13s (which Asics ruined in "upgrades") and these are excellent. Very cushioned and natural feeling (neutral) shoes. They are supposed to be trail shoes but I find I'm wearing them on the road just as much the trail. They have a wide foot-shaped toe box, which looks sort of odd at first, but now I like them. The toes are also arched up a little, which rocks you forward when you walk and run. The only problem is the sizing is off - I had to get them in a half-size larger than other running shoes (full size larger than street shoes).

Unexpected Reunion: Reece Gaines Returns To Louisville As Bellarmine Assistant
One of Louisville's most beloved basketball players has returned to the city in a role he never imagined he'd fill.
Reece Gaines, former NBA player and No. 4 on the all-time scoring list at the University of Louisville with 1,945 points, has been named the new assistant basketball coach of Bellarmine University, a program that's steadily ascended to national prominence in Division II basketball over the last few years.
"I never thought I would coach, ever," Gaines admitted. "Never thought about it, never wanted to be a coach. All the stress, and it's tough being a coach, and you don't want to be a cliche basketball player coming back being a coach." Yet, after talking to his past collegiate coach, Rick Pitino, Gaines realized he'd like to give the position a try and called his former assistant coach at Louisville, Scott "Scotty" Davenport, the current head coach of Bellarmine's men's basketball team.
"I told (Pitino) I wanted to go back and get my degree and I wanted to help somebody out while I was getting my degree," Gaines said. "And, (I) called Scotty and said, 'I want to come around and help,' and he offered me this job so I'm pretty lucky and fortunate to be here and have this opportunity because this is a great one; this is a great school."
The day Bellarmine publicized the Gaines hire, NBA star of the Miami Heat and former Marquette player Dwyane Wade gave Gaines and Bellarmine a coincidental promotion when he mentioned on Twitter that Gaines was the best player he faced in college. A 6' 4" shooting guard, Gaines achieved an impressive career at UofL, having been named to All America teams after his senior season. In 2003, he was selected 15th in the NBA draft by the Orlando Magic, but spent much of the next decade jumping from team to team, appearing on the Houston Rockets and Milwaukee Bucks before heading to the NBA D-League and Europe. Following his most recent stint, a 30-day contract in January of 2012 with the Fürstenfeld Panthers in Austria, Gaines decided to retire from basketball, thus prompting him to accept Bellarmine's coaching job.
Though a native of Madison, Wisc., moving back to Louisville was an easy transition for him, his wife and two young children. "This feels like home, really," Gaines said of his return to Louisville. "I've been traveling all around the world and haven't really had a chance to call a place home, and this is, for the first time, I feel like I'm back home."
At Bellarmine, Gaines will assist in all areas of the program as a member of the coaching staff, which includes assistants Drew Cooper and Michael Scott. Gaines replaced Bellarmine assistant Carl White, who took the head coaching job at Shawnee High School in August. Through the help of his colleagues, Gaines will learn to see the game from a new perspective compared to the player mindset he's still accustomed to coming fresh off his playing career.
"I'm guessing once (the players) get into the game and I can't go out there and help them do anything about their wins and losses, I think that'll have an effect (on me)," Gaines said of adjusting his role from player to coach. "I have the vantage point of player, still, so I try to use that when I'm on the floor with the guys. I try to tell them what I see from a player's point of view, and kind of that's pretty much what my role is right now until I learn how to see the things Coach Davenport sees, the small things, in which, you know, when you're a player you don't see."
From Coach Davenport's point of view, Gaines will be an excellent addition to Bellarmine's staff due to his personal pride and solid upbringing. "He comes from super parents," Davenport said. "Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Gaines, I knew them in the recruiting process when I was at Louisville and we recruited Reece, and that will be the foundation that they built that will make Reece Gaines a great coach. It made him a great athlete, a great student athlete, it made him a great pro. And that will carry over into coaching."
Not only has Davenport witnessed the maturation of Gaines from player to coach, but he's also seen his own son Doug take on a new leadership role, transitioning from former Bellarmine player to a member of Pitino's staff. On Nov. 7, Davenport will meet his son on the KFC Yum! Center court as the Bellarmine Knights face the Cards in an exhibition game featuring a night of unique reunions for both Davenport and Gaines.
"It's definitely going to be exciting for me to see the new arena, to be sitting opposite Coach Pitino on the coaching side now and just to see the UofL fans again," Gaines said of the match-up. "And, hopefully I'll get a chance to thank (the fans) for all the support they gave me. But it's going to be exciting and we're definitely getting that win," he grinned. "You can (write that down)."

Lick your wounds, no seriously, lick them.
Generally one uses sterilised band aids. The vodka'll do the job but it won't be pleasant or dry.
Thats a great idea
Alcohol cleans wounds..
Because vodka in a crock pot is a bad idea.

(EW.com) -- "Downton Abbey" is getting another American visitor.
"Sideways'" star Paul Giamatti will appear as Cora's playboy brother, Harold, in the season four finale, a rep for Masterpiece on PBS confirms.
'Downton Abbey' casts first black cast member
He'll be joined by returning guest star Shirley MacLaine, who crossed the pond to play Cora's brazen mother, Martha Levinson, in season three.
"We're excited that Paul Giamatti will be joining us on 'Downton' to play Cora's brother Harold, the rather free-spirited uncle to Mary and Edith. We can't wait to see him work alongside Shirley MacLaine, who are both sure to upset the Grantham's apple cart in this year's finale," executive producer Gareth Neame said in a statement.
New 'Downton' characters announced
Giamatti is hardly the only new face joining the series — next season will introduce a slew of castmembers, including Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Tom Cullen, Julian Ovenden, Nigel Harman, Joanna David and Gary Carr.
Season four of the series will kick-off on January 5, 2014.

If you've been an audiobook enthusiast for long, you know that the industry exploded with the availability of digital downloads. As a result, the number of romance releases increased sharply and the selection only gets better with each passing month. As one of those enthusiasts and a fan of romance, I pay close attention to those audio publishers who historically have offered a significant selection of romance audio and continue to do so. You know, those publishers who take the time to choose quality narrators for their titles as well as discover those authors that make romance listeners sit up and take notice. Here's to giving a shout-out to those publishers who are doing a particularly fine job of it.
Before we start, I'll add a disclaimer – I'm using numbers from Audible. I'm aware that there are audiobooks from years ago in audio cassette or CD format that have yet to hit the digital download market. But since we're discussing the move in the romance audio industry over the past few years, I feel the Audible numbers are adequate for this discussion.

Bad Advice For Teen Drivers -- From Parents
Strapping yourself into the passenger seat the first time your teenager takes the wheel is one of the scarier turning points of parenting.
Teen drivers are four times more likely to crash, on a per-mile basis, than older drivers, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. They are notorious for taking stupid risks and being overconfident about their driving ability.
But before you start lecturing your kid, take a look in the mirror. Many of the mistakes teen drivers make stem from things they learn from parents.
"You hear all kinds of crazy stuff," says Sharon Postigo Fife, president of The Driving School Association of the Americas in Kettering, Ohio.Here's some of the worst driving advice parents give their teenagers. (See " Are American teens the worst trained drivers in the world?")
Do as I say, not as I do.Telling your kid about the danger of texting and driving won't do any good if you pick up your cell phone while motoring down the highway. "Parents say one thing, and then do something different," says Brandon Dufour, general manager of All-Star Driver, a driving school headquartered in Watertown, Conn. "Starting at about age 11 or 12 your child is paying attention to your driving habits and noting consciously or subconsciously all those things you do ." Two-thirds of surveyed teens say their parents live by different driving rules than the ones they expect their kids to follow, according to research in 2012 by Liberty Mutual Insurance and Students Against Destructive Decisions. Ninety-one percent reported seeing their parents talk on a cell phone while driving, 88 percent observed their parents speeding and 59 percent said their parents have sent text messages while driving. "Kids figure, 'If Mom can do it, I can do it,'" Dufour says.
It's OK to speed a little.Brad Ault, president of the Florida Professional Driving School Association and Ault's Driver Education Center in Englewood, Fla., says he hears parents tell teens it's all right to drive 5 mph over the speed limit because "everybody does it." But they should teach their kids to obey the speed limit and to drive according to conditions. Too many drivers don't slow down when the weather is bad.

The true test of a champion is not whether he can triumph, but whether he can overcome obstacles."--Garth Stein
What quality does the Buddha share with Luke Skywalker and Joan of Arc? What links Harriet Tubman with Harry Potter?
It has nothing to do with enlightenment or magic. It has to do with struggle.
These heroes share a key quality: GRIT.
There has been some discussion in the media recently about grit, but many people, especially parents, have been asking me what the term actually means.
I think the best way to describe grit is by starting with Joseph Campbell and his classic analysis of the "hero's journey." Campbell explains how the journey always begins when the hero leaves home and all that is familiar and predictable. After that, Campbell writes, "Dragons have now to be slain and surprising barriers passed--again, again, and again. Meanwhile there will be a multitude of preliminary victories, unretainable ecstasies and momentary glimpses of the wonderful land."

Apple might be a billion dollar company, but it's not without its problems. One black eye on Apple as of late has been their Chinese Foxconn plant, which has been the subject of intense scrutiny as of late. There's been news about worker suicides at the Apple Foxconn plant and poor working conditions–though there's been no real concrete proof. Until now, that is. A report finally released this week by the Fair Labor Association revealed major issues with the Foxconn plant.
According to the report by Fair Labor Association (FLA), the Foxconn Chinese factories have violated several standards in the country. The first is the FLA code standard of 60 hours per week (that's regular time plus overtime). FLA says that Foxconn workers often exceeded 60 hours per week of work per worker, mostly during the peak production times (presumably during the iPhone 4S and iPad production periods).
Not only that, but the Apple Foxconn factory also had some workers who worked at the company for more than seven days in a row without the required 24 hours off. That's a rather major violation as workers typically need at least that much time off to recuperate and perform at their best mentally.
We've previously heard that Apple Foxconn workers generally work 10-12 hour days with very small lunch breaks, so to hear the reports of working more than 60 hours per week isn't that big of a surprise. What is a surprise, though, is the fact that Foxconn workers aren't getting the proper amount of time off. As most people know, when people are tired they tend to not perform at their best. Perhaps overtired Foxconn workers could be the cause of some of Apple's recent hardware issues like the Wi-Fi reception problems with the new iPad. That's just speculation, though.
Foxconn, for their part, seems to be willing to do what it takes to fix things. According to the FLA, Foxconn has agreed to change things by increasin the workforce so that employees don't have to work as many hours. Additionally, Foxconn will reportedly develop a compensation package that protects the workers from lost income due to reduced overtime.
No word yet on if Foxconn will increase the hourly wage.

For indie games, standing out a difficult missionFor indie games, standing out a difficult mission

In this Wednesday, March 19, 2014 photo, Chaos Industries CEO Humberto Cervera, center, explains his game "Agent Awesome" to an attendee of the Game Developers Conference 2014 in San Francisco. At last week's Game Developers Conference, independent game makers - those risk-taking tinkerers who self-publish their own titles - were again a dominant force. After capturing legitimacy in recent years, the biggest challenge now facing these upstarts is no longer figuring out how to make, fund or publish their creative visions, but convincing people to play their games.

Carrie Fisher Outs John Travolta, Again
Reporter Brandon Voss of The Advocate scored a saucy slice of celeb-on-celeb action this weekend. In a December 11th declaration that is already being heavily re-discussed by gossip and media pundits, actress Carrie Fisher had this to say about John Travolta:
My feeling about John has always been that we know [he's gay] and we don't care. Look, I'm sorry that he's uncomfortable with it, and that's all I can say. It only draws more attention to it when you make that kind of legal fuss. Just leave it be.

the connected arm
Clothing designer Calla Jacobson was one of several Jackson area artists who were invited to design a costume or set piece for the recent "Up Close" performances by Contemporary Dance Wyoming. Jacobson came up with an ingenious and provocative three-armed garment, which essentially bound two dancers together. CDW choreographer Babs Case then choreographed in response to the garment.
Meg: Tell me a bit what inspired you to make the garments…
Calla: It started with Babs suggesting that the costumes could limit the dancers movement in some way and that the theme for the dances would be inspired by the four elements to go along with the Fire Festival. With that I began thinking at first about creating some sort of large head piece based on the elements (earth, wind, water, fire) that could be worn by a lead dancer and would have a garment somehow built out to connect the other dancers to this main piece, sort of like the large Chinese dragon costumes that are worn by several people to weave in and out in their own kind of dance. That evolved into a very simplified idea of a couple or grouping of people each in it's own element, which became the connected arm piece.
"this connection with nature is a great reflection of person and communal relationships as well"
Meg: The connected arm can be seen as an umbilical cord. Were you thinking about that as you designed the garments?
Calla: While discussing the feel of the dance as inspired by the four elements with Babs, I became more inspired by the push and pull and constant shifting of relationships with others, ourselves and the world around us. I was not at all thinking directly of an umbilical cord, although, since I will soon be a mother, I am certainly feeling a very new kind of internal connection to another human being.
Meg: One viewer I spoke to thought the garment made the dancers seem like two sides of one person, which I think it an interesting idea. Personally I noticed how an embrace seemed the most efficient and effective way for a pair of dancers to move together in the garment. 'm curious what you discovered about the garments that you didn't know or envision prior to seeing them in performance?
Calla: I so appreciate that viewers filled the dance with their own personal experiences. And really so much of that is Babs' deep and amazing choreography. She has a gift of finding the way to express so many of our human emotions in her work. This particular piece took on many manifestations before it became what it did. I am struck by your observation of the most efficient way of of the dancers moving within and without each other is to embrace. I had felt that very strongly in one of the rehearsals that I attended, noticing that in my current state of pregnancy, all of the quite deep feelings of connection with other, spouse, and really the elements as well…a deep connection to nature are very strong for me right now. As well as the very real feelings of uncertainty and life change that can be a bit scary as well. So just wanting to really remain grounded and connected to something or someone became another emotion that I became conscious of while watching the garments in action via Babs choreography.
Calla: I have to add, that it really was so wonderful to see all of the dances flow in and out of each other as they did. The other artists involved really took us in so many directions that evening while continuing the connection with nature in general. This connection with nature is a great reflection of person and communal relationships as well.

Last night Nicki Minaj's interview with Nightline reporter Juju Chang aired and it gave insight into the method behind being Nicki Minaj. The interview touched on Nicki's youth in an abusive home and the connection she feels with her younger fans. What was most revealing was when Nicki Minaj spoke about the likening between her and Lady Gaga. Chang asked if the comparisons offended Minaj at all, to which the rapper responded, "Offend me? No. Irks me? Yeah. Because we are in completely different lanes." Chang then asked her what the differences were between the artists, with Minaj explaining, "First of all, I'm a rapper. First of all, I'm from South side Jamaica, Queens, and I could say some really crazy lyrics right now, but I won't."
Nicki then took charge and asked Chang what about Minaj and Lady Gaga that struck her as being the same. Chang then offered up the use of wigs and over the top costumes as two things that linked Minaj and Gaga. Dissatisfied with the weak comparison, Nicki responded, "Every female in this game wears wigs." Nicki also considered the sartorial likeness adding, "Over the top costumes? Eh, try again."
It's always refreshing to hear a female artist stand up against generalization. For Minaj's artistry to be deduced to her physical appearance through wigs and costuming seemed a bit offensive and Minaj's frustration was definitely present. During this segment of the interview her music was overshadowed by the comparison to another female artist.
Watch the clip of the Nightline interview between Minaj and Chang below. Sound off in the comments section and tell us what you think. Do you think Lady Gaga and Minaj are similar? Does it even matter?

Grand Challenge Canada
Gerard Buckley
An innovative, handheld point-of-care analyzer, developed by ChipCare Corporation, has secured one of the largest ever angel investments in Canada's healthcare sector. Phase II financing has closed, with an investment of $2.05M to support ChipCare's continuing development and commercialization over the next three years.
The financing evolved through a uniquely collaborative funding model among Canadian social angel investors, including Maple Leaf Angels, MaRS Innovation and the University of Toronto, with special financing leadership from Grand Challenges Canada and the Government of Canada.
"This technology has the potential to save and improve the lives of millions around the world by bringing state-of-the-art blood testing to patients, instead of asking the sick to travel to labs that are often difficult to reach," said James Dou, ChipCare's co-founder and Chief Technology Officer. "The impact on in-the-field HIV diagnostics alone could be revolutionary; this financing is critical to our commercialization roadmap."
ChipCare's Phase II project plan calls for a three-year development of the device to further refine its functionality, develop a more robust prototype and reduce costs, as part of the move to scale. The innovative financing model supporting this development was made possible, in part, with the leadership of the Government of Canada through Grand Challenges Canada.
"This initiative underscores our government's commitment to support innovation, leverage private sector know-how, and harness venture capital expertise in pursuit of game-changing development and global health solutions. This project will make a difference by saving lives in developing countries and creating jobs here in Canada," said the Honourable Christian Paradis, Minister of International Development.
ChipCare's handheld analyzer has the capacity to transform the way in which point-of-care diagnostics are delivered in the field for both developed and developing world populations. It stands apart from contemporary tools for three reasons:
1. Its unique design makes the analyzer significantly less expensive than other similar devices.
2. Proprietary technology enables test results that are faster and demonstrably more accurate than existing standards.
3. The device enables the potential to run not only one but multiple diagnostics simultaneously.
"To the best of our knowledge, this is at least the second largest healthcare angel investment in Canada's history - and it might well be the largest by the time the project reaches full maturity," said Adrian Schauer of Maple Leaf Angels. "The diagnostic potential of this device can hardly be overstated. We are investing heavily in its commercialization because we see the potential to revolutionize bedside testing for many conditions, from HIV and malaria in the developing world, to sepsis, heart disease and cancers here at home.
With an anchor investment, Grand Challenges Canada is fulfilling its unique mandate to identify and support innovative Canadian technologies that can make a dramatic difference in global health. The investment also played a critical role in attracting the balance of the required financing from private sector investors.
"Grand Challenges has a mandate to support bold ideas with big impact in global health," said Grand Challenges Canada's Chief Executive Officer, Peter Singer. "With this investment in ChipCare, we're not only supporting a worthy innovation, we're facilitating an innovative approach to financing that leverages investment to bridge the 'valley of death.' If you can save lives while creating companies and jobs - well, it just doesn't get any better than that!"

Funding Initiatives
There are many worthwhile programs and needs worthy of financial support here at the Academy for Career Exploration.
By way of example, here are a few:
• In September 2010, ACE launched two new career-to-work programs to prepare students for employment opportunities in the health care and hospitality industries. Both programs have received the enthusiastic support of industry partners, who see our program as a win-win for students searching for solid career paths and employers who are in need of qualified workers. Upon graduation, students will receive a diploma and also have the option of earning either a certified nursing assistant credential, or a national certification in hotel and lodging management. The offering of these programs is dependent upon financial contributions from foundations, industry partners and individual donors. In addition to supporting the programs' operating budgets, your contributions may be employed to purchase instructional equipment, study materials, or to pay for field trips.
• ACE's Brother 2 Brother and Sister 4 Sister after school programs provide students with a safe haven in which to grow socially, emotionally, intellectually and to learn important positive life development skills. Currently 68 students have committed three hours of after school time each week throughout the school year to participate in these life-enhancing sessions. The annual cost of providing these programs approaches $20,000 and is not covered by our baseline budget. Your contribution to Brother-2-brother and Sister-4-sister will help ensure that our students remain engaged in their school work and committed to a lifestyle that enhances their chances of future success.
• ACE is slowly building its lending library, and needs your financial support to purchase library books for our students. Instilling an interest in reading among our students both for knowledge enhancement as well as the sheer pleasure of it is a key goal at ACE. You can help us achieve this objective through a donation to our library.
• General operating expenses are always a challenge, but even more so in this period of fiscal uncertainty. So, if you prefer, you may designate that your gift may used for "unrestricted" purposes. In so doing, you'll help to ensure that ACE remains fiscally strong and capable of delivering quality education to the students we serve.
You may make your contribution, by sending your check to Academy for Career Exploration, 130 Broadway, Providence, RI 02903 or on-line by clicking on the donate button below.
To learn more about how you can help, please call Vanessa Toledo-Vickers, Development Director at 401-456-1738, ext 106.

Jon's VU! What was that?
If Hillary Clinton runs against Obama would you vote for her?
Next, if she were to win could she nominate her husband as vice-president?
My son says she can't because if something happened to her he would be president for the third term.
I do not have the resources to find the answers, but I will ask some of my friends who voted for him.
Maybe my editor would answer these questions if you were interested…
The Obamanable snow man isn't very popular among the old folks that I listen to, cutting food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare and wanting to cut social security!
Tell me little bird, what did the old folks do to incur the wrath of the Obamanator?
Some Democrat was carrying a sign in congress asking the old folks to "hurry up and die!!"
I don't know about you, but even at 76 years old, I will fight for every year, month and day of my life.
I enjoy bringing a smile to my reader's faces, but every now and then I hear something so sad it breaks my heart.
I take some painful treatments three days a week. I take these treatments because if I quit I will die in a short time.
A number of people taking these painful treatments keep hearing bad things from government and state agencies who make them seem like freeloaders instead of old folks who worked their whole lives to make this country great.
I started paying social security at 11-years-old. If you care I worked for a newspaper in Dallas as a mail clerk.
That is a long time to pay into my SS!
I just lost a friend who just quit taking his treatments. I hope I never get to that point.
I, like others at my clinic feel like the cuts for the elderly who worked so long will finally get all of us!!
Each of my friends has a thing that keeps them alive. A garden, sewing for children, helping with problems in the family.
Most of us have seen that and done that! We know how to solve problems because things that happen to the young folks happened to me.
Sometimes I just enjoy being a sounding board for great-grandchildren, who sadly, I will never meet.
Having a good talk with a grandson, who says "goodbye Grandpa and I love you!"
This column and questions like the ones at the front of this column keep some of us wanting to wake up another day and keep asking, how will you vote on a congressmen who smiles at you and says "yes, I voted on the new law and no, I didn't read it, I have people who do that. Now be sure to vote for me!!"
Yes, gentle reader, l live on just to see how long uninformed voters will keep electing enemy politicians.
This is not everyone's vu, but it keeps me alive. And it's JON'S VU!!

Hillary Clinton could not put her husband on the ballot for vice-president. He has already served two terms as president and the US Constitution as amended specifically prohibits his serving again.
