The Boston Marathon, Day-by-Day Home The Terror in Massachusetts' Court Rooms Whitey Bulger was a bigger threat to the public order, and was a threat to the public order for a longer period of time, than was Dzokhar Tsarnaev.

THE best touch footballers from across western Victoria will descend on Portland on Sunday for the final round of this season's Westerns Affiliates Cup.
Portland Touch Association head coach Cecilia Eichler said the fact Touch Victoria had chosen to conclude the Cup in Portland this year was a terrific endorsement of the progress Portland had made in recent years.
"This is the second year in a row they have brought this event to us, which shows we are getting up there," Eichler said.
"We are doing really well, we recently went to Macedon for a round of the Cup and though numbers were a little short, particularly in the men, the women won three of the four games, including beating the men's 40 Macedon Players 4-2, which was huge."
Sides from Ballarat, MacedonRanges, Portland and Geelong will compete at HentyPark in Portland across men's, women's and mixed divisions from 10am on Sunday.
Read the full story in Friday's Portland Observer.

What hollies will work in full sun next to brick house? Thinking of inkberries for foundation planting and want a smaller mounding holly as well (say 2'x2' or so). Any advice? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I love holly and got addicted to collecting as many different types as I could find.) You describe the position as full sun and next to a brick house. What is the exposure (south, west, etc.)? If it is hot, you probably should avoid the Blue hollies (Blue Princess, etc.) as they are said to resent excessive heat. There are dwarf varieties of Japanese holly that might meet your needs (they look very much like boxwoods). By the way, you might want to consider boxwoods. I have dwarf English on a hot western wall that I love (check for winter hardiness though). There's also a dwarf variety of Ilex vomitoria that is a heat lover (even though it's said to be good up to zone 7--bet it would survive in a hot exposure). There are probably a bunch of varieties you could grow as long as you would be willing to prune occasionally--most hollies don't grow that fast. Inkberry by the way, is a terrific variety for you larger plantings--very nice plant! |
It would face the south. Thinking of shamrock inkberry in particular. |

I planted a holly near my parents brick house in full sun. It survived and grew big, but some of the leaves always look dead. I thought it was some kind of mold, but maybe it was the heat. It was some kind of silver varigated holly. |

text: Mosquito/Malaria Control (28) ----------------------------- Hehehe, Kris that was a good one.....! However back to the main issue I still insist like some others have already said that there is need of a multi pronged approach to the malaria problem in Africa, bednets, larvicidals, spraying and whatever; but lets start with protecting the most vulnerable groups which is the women and children... and these ones most definitely get bit at night... lets not get sidetracked into discussing when and how the mosquitoes biting habits may change. I have seen so many kids die from malaria who could have been saved by availability of effective affordable medication and even a few preventive measures. In Africa, where I live, I really wonder which area you would spray... I really wonder! Maybe Bill could give us an idea of where and how much insecticide would be needed and which compa- nies would benefit from the efforts. " As for me and my house"... to quote from Joshua in the Bible I will stick to tried and tested methods, avoiding bites with ap- propriate clothing and repellents, sleeping under a treated net and having timely treatment of any of the parasites that get through this barricade with EFFECTIVE antimalarials. I have witnessed improvement in the quality of peoples live while using these three methods and I have seen reduced morbid- ity and mortality in families using nets with the help of these observations I have no problem choosing what I will use... I will wait till the population becomes majority urban before I start advocating for spraying as the main means of control of malaria Dr Isaac Michael Kigozi National Drug Authority, Uganda Plot 46-48 Lumumba Avenue P.O.Box 23096 Tel +256-41-255-665 Mobile +256-77-982-411 mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com

Kenny Wayne Shepherd With a career that began at age 16, Kenny Wayne Shepherd has a storied decade in music's big-leagues. His first three albums mixed blues and blues-rock; his 1995 debut Ledbetter Heights has sold over a million copies, making it a platinum record. Trouble Is...was released in 1998 selling over a million copies and received a Grammy nomination. Live On followed a year later, and also got the Grammy nod. On 2004's The Place You're In, Shepherd took most of the albums' lead vocals for the first time.
With the release of TEN DAYS OUT: Blues from the Backroads, Shepherd embarked on a ten-day trek into the heart of America. Traveling highways and byways with a roving documentary film crew, a portable recording studio, portable house band – the esteemed Double Trouble, and producer Jerry Harrison, Shepherd visited blues veterans in their homes, backyards and local clubs, creating as intimate and intense a blues film as has been seen in many a year.
Most musicians are either bandleaders or band members, and few have proven capable of being both the stars and the accompanists. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, however, has proven himself a true devotee to the music as both a star soloist and a star accompanist. Visit: http://www.kennywayneshepherd.net
Watermelon Slim Aspiring musicians in the trucking business are common, but the ones that actually make it are lucky and few. Bill "Watermelon Slim" Homans is one of those lucky few. He's been a farmer, a teacher, a truck driver, and who knows what else. But when Slim picks up a guitar, he incarnates the deepest and truest roots of American music. Combine Jimmy Rodgers, the Carter family & Bob Willis with Blind Lemon, Sonny Boy Williamson and Wilson Picket – and you have Slim – a one-of-a-kind pickin'n'singin Okie dynamo!

Ana Popovic Here's a new recipe for you Fort Smith! Shake up equal parts of searing electric slide guitar, tight blues grooved, and a soulful feminine voice. Now add a taste of jazz, pout it in a funky glass over some gritty rock and look out because this tall cool drink is Europe's newest blues diva, Ana Popovic. In a flash, this Belgrade beauty can bridge smooth chill jazz with explosive psychedelic rock only to coast effortlessly into a mean Elmore James inspired slide guitar riff. Prepare to feel a fresh breeze of blues to blow in when Ana Popovic takes the Harry E. Kelly stage! Visit: http://www.anapopovic.com

I decided I need to switch things up and i'm redesigning the site. Certain things might be broken for a while such as viewing individual posts (pics might overlap sidebar). It should have it fixed soon.
So, it's been a long time since my last post. I've been a bit lazy… AKA on my LAST winter break sitting around and watching some quality TV, and then started off on my LAST semester of college…ugh.
Anyways, I kind of lost the need to cook over break since my culinary master parents do most of the cooking at home and it is a daily pleasure to dine on their meals. Every night at 6 PM since I can remember – family dinners simply can't be beat!

Visions of Change
Feeling Truly Thankful This Season
As the fall semester draws to a close, it is possible to look back on what has been a great start to the school year and to look forward to May 5, 2012, when we will celebrate the commencement of our inaugural students.
We have just been through our first placement of students in judicial clerkships and it has gone better than we could have imagined. As of now, 13 students in the class of 2012 have accepted judicial clerkships, which puts us behind only Yale and Stanford among top 20 schools in the percentage of students who will be clerking in the year after graduation. Our Career Development Office, under Director Charles Song, is working hard to place all of our graduating students, as well as to find summer jobs for our second- and first-year students.
This year, of course, is the first time we have had all three classes of students. By all measures and accounts, the 89 students in the class of 2014 are the equal of the two classes that have preceded them. I have consistently heard wonderful things about our first-year students from their professors this semester.
Our admissions staff and admissions committee, under the leadership of Assistant Dean Janice Austin, is already hard at work recruiting the class of 2015. We are seeing a significant increase in applications, which we are hopeful will continue throughout the admissions season.
We have added nine new faculty members who joined us on July 1, and they are superb teachers and scholars. We are now in the process of recruiting five additional faculty members. Over the course of the fall, the faculty will interview 20 candidates for these positions and we expect to hire another group of outstanding professors. The plan is to continue to hire about five new faculty members a year for the next five years until we are at a full-time faculty of about 55.
Many wonderful programs have begun this semester. We require a clinical experience of all students for graduation, and every third-year student will participate in a clinic this year. I have been amused to read of the recent newspaper articles lamenting the lack of experiential learning for students, because that is exactly what we provide. Our third-year students this year are enrolled in one of four clinics: an appellate litigation clinic, where students are briefing and arguing cases in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; a community and economic development clinic; an environmental law clinic; and an immigration law clinic. Also, we have several clinics open to second- and third-year students, though they don't fulfill the clinical requirement: a family violence clinic, a human rights clinic, and a clinic on employment and housing discrimination in conjunction with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.
From the outset, the goal has been that the Law School will be highly interdisciplinary. Under the direction of Prof. Chris Tomlins, we have created concurrent degree programs with departments across the campus. This year, four students are enrolled in the J.D./M.B.A. program and four are enrolled in J.D./Ph.D. programs.
We are moving forward in the development of the John S. and Marilyn Long U.S.-China Institute for Business and Law. Jack Hsu, our first Executive Director of the Institute, began on Nov. 1. We have decided that innovation and intellectual property will be the first focus for collaboration, which will involve a three-year project undertaken together with Fudan University in Shanghai. We will welcome two professors from Fudan for a year visit beginning in January.
The spring semester promises to be exceptionally busy. We will have a number of lectures, including Prof. Barry Friedman of New York University delivering a lecture in conjunction with inaugurating the Raymond Pryke Chair in First Amendment Law; Harvard Professor Richard Lazarus delivering the keynote for our new Environmental Law Center; Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree delivering the second annual Al Meyerhoff Lecture; former federal judge and Harvard Professor Nancy Gertner delivering the third annual Mark Robinson lecture; and former White House Counsel Fred Fielding delivering the first John and Mary Carrington Lecture. We will have several symposia, including one on international law, one on legal history, one on critical race theory, and a student-organized symposium on legal issues concerning Asian-Americans.
On May 4, we are planning a gala to celebrate the Law School and our inaugural students who will graduate on Saturday, May 5. Details about both of these events will be forthcoming soon. As one semester and year ends, and as we look forward to the next, there is a tremendous spirit of excitement at the Law School and an enormous amount to be thankful for.

The Library Journal's * starred review: Lynds ("The Coil; The Last Spymaster") is a master of the espionage thriller. In her latest, she deftly adopts the conventions of treasure-hunting novels to craft a thrilling, spy-laden, history-rich page-turner. Eva Blake, a rare-book conservator, is convicted of vehicular manslaughter in her husband's death, though she wasn't responsible. Meanwhile, the long-lost and historically significant Library of Gold appears on the radar of the CIA, somehow tied to dubious finances in the Middle East. Armed with "The Book of Spies" from the library's collection, the CIA springs Blake from prison to find the library. When Blake glimpses her husband alive, her world is shaken. What is the truth? The reach of the library is far and its director, powerful. Blake has backup, but the CIA has been infiltrated. Whom can she trust? Is her husband really alive? Is he the librarian? Do they find the library? What happens in the Middle East? This reviewer knows but is not revealing anything. VERDICT: Two great tastes that taste great together. Readers of both espionage and artifact novels should be well sated but will crave subsequent escapades with these characters.
Publishers' Weekly:
Complicated, appealing characters complement the satisfying, conspiracy-laden plot that smoothly moves throughout Europe at breakneck speed.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chip!
Facts about Chip
- Breed: Beagle Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Chip's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Chip is between 2-2.5 years old, sweet as can be, and gets along with other dogs and just loves people. Chip is a happy go lucky boy. He's great with kids, cats and other dogs. He is a total snuggle bug!
If you are interested in adopting Chip please fill out an online application at http://www.dogworldrescue.com/adopt/
Other Pets at Dog World Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chip, a Alexandria Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Alexandria, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Alexandria.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Alexandria already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Alexandria breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Alexandria paves the way for another one to be saved.

Yesterday, we had a look at a couple stories about the far reaches of medical innovation, and although Kawamura-Ganjavian's "Ostrich Pillow" isn't a prosthetic by any stretch of the imagination, its therapeutic intent has a certain health-related resonance. The architecture and design studio is launching the product, best described as a combination of a hood and a pillow, through sister company Studio Banana Things on Kickstarter.
OSTRICH PILLOW is a revolutionary new product [designed] to enable easy powernaps anytime, everywhere, [offering] a micro environment in which to take a cosy and comfortable power nap at ease. OSTRICH PILLOW has been designed to allow you to create a little private space within a public one, to relax and unwind. Its soothing soft interior shelters and isolates your head and hands (mind and body) for a short break, without needing to leave your desk, chair, bench or wherever you may be.
Of course, we first saw the enclosed pillow over a year ago, and the Kickstarter pitch notes that the positive response was a factor in Kawamura-Ganjavian's decision to move forward with the product. (While we were among the first blogs to post the "Ostrich," we were snubbed in the video... I guess no good deed goes unpunished.)
In any case, they've spent the past year perfecting the harbinger of the "new working-resting paradigm": the one-size-fits-all pillow is stuffed with synthetic microbeads and has an opening for one's mouth and nose, something like a padded balaclava with a cranial kangaroo pocket.
Besides napping, the "Ostrich" might make for a passable costume for an extraterrestrial in a B-movie.
Nearly half of the 300 early bird specials (get it?) were claimed as of press time, so backers can still preorder the "Ostrich Pillow" for 20% off the $75 regular price. (If you're on the fence, the FAQ is also chock full of useful facts, including both NASA and NBA players' co-sign on power naps.)

Room Suite A

San Diego, CA 92110
Driving Shareholder Value through Supply Chain Integrity
John Lund (The Walt Disney Company)
Supply chain integrity has become a business imperative, encompassing both operational dimensions: quality, productivity, and financial performance; and reputational dimensions: protecting the brand, responding to customer and investor concerns, and complying with the growing burden of regulations. This keynote address will explore The Walt Disney Company's innovative approach to integrating these two dimensions to drive shareholder value.
How Technology is Enabling and Driving Supply Chain Innovation
Competition in supply chains is always increasing, forcing companies and supply chains to search for new technologies and innovations that lead to superior performance. This panel will discuss new supply chain technologies, potential technology innovations, and key factors influencing the adoption of supply chain technologies in order to achieve superior business performance.
- Glen Margolis (Steelwedge)
- Angel Mendez (Cisco Systems)
- John Urban (GT Nexus, Inc.)
- Mark Utter (Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.)
Moderator: David Pyke (University of San Diego)
Discussion Forums
Share your experiences, express your opinions, ask questions, and learn from your colleagues when you participate in one of these interactive breakout sessions. Facilitated by subject matter experts, each forum will have a limited number of participants who will have the opportunity to actively contribute their insights and experiences on topics of wide interest. Each forum will be offered at least twice to ensure you don't miss out.
- Managing and Mitigating Global Supply Chain Risk
We operate in an increasingly uncertain global business environment - with risks spanning the spectrum from supply disruption and increased trade regulations, to rising freight costs and high demand variability. Risk has now become part of the Board agenda, and the most successful companies are those that are able to develop a resilient supply chain to anticipate and manage supply chain risk. This session will commence with a brief discussion of the various types of risk and some of the innovative actions that companies are taking to develop resiliency. The participants will share their experiences and will actively participate in developing innovative constructs to help their companies identify, monitor and manage these risks to mitigate their impact. The discussion will cover the End-to-End Supply Chain, and include the global supply and fulfillment network, supply and manufacturing strategies, and demand: supply planning, partner relationships, and complexity reduction.
Facilitator: Christopher Gopal, Ph.D., Supply Chain Transformation Leader, TCS - Innovative Leadership
With today's business demands, executives need to be more innovative than ever to be at the top of their game. Remaining calm and clear-headed in the face of uncertainty and daily business pressure requires practice and skill. It is not something that comes naturally. Why? Because your brain has a mind of its own and it doesn't always operate in your best interest. In this session, Dr. Elizabeth Fried will show you specific techniques and strategies to keep the clear-thinking, executive part of your brain from being hijacked by your natural inclination to run for cover or go on the attack in high pressure situations. You'll learn how to stay calm and instill greater confidence in yourself and those you lead when the going gets tough. If you want to be the consummate leader, then you need to understand what is going on in your body and your brain. With that knowledge, you'll be able to regulate these functions at will and remain calm, so you can make more innovative and effective business decisions for your organization. The session will be a mix of content, activities and discussion, leaving you with "aha" moments to stimulate your thinking and practical tips for immediate application.
Facilitator: Elizabeth Fried, Ph.D., President, The Learning Engine and My Executive Coach - Making Innovation Part of Your Supply Chain Strategy
Organizations are developing innovations across the supply chain continuum in order to enhance overall supply chain performance. In this session, participants will discuss and share innovative strategies such as: collaborating with business partners, improved technology for global supply chains, creative products and services to gain competitive advantage, increased velocity / reduced order to delivery cycle times, globalization - outsourcing / reshoring / near-sourcing, integrating your supply chain to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, and more.
Facilitator: John Hanson, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Supply Chain Management, University of San Diego - Advanced Sourcing and Procurement Strategies for Any Industry
In this session, participants will discuss various sourcing and procurement strategies for delivering enhanced business performance and driving bottom-line savings across any industry. Potential topics may include: enhanced supplier relationships, assessment of the supply market, total cost analyses, identification of suitable suppliers, development of a sourcing strategy, negotiation with suppliers, and much more. The goal for this discussion is for participants to come away with some fundamental and innovative "sourcing secrets" that will help them be effective in any industry.
Facilitator: Maria Thompson, CEO, Agile Sourcing Partners - The Ever-Changing Landscape of Sustainability
In this session, participants will discuss the rising expectations of various stakeholders for organizations to have corporate sustainability or corporate social responsibility programs. For many larger companies, having such programs in place has almost become a basic requirement for doing business. Potential topics include: understanding the relevant areas of sustainability for a given organization; the role and expectations of various stakeholders (e.g. consumers, retailers, NGOs, employees); the growing demand for enhanced transparency within the supply chain; balancing cost vs. sustainability; examples of private-public collaboration and partnerships to address sustainability challenges.
Facilitator: Mike Kraft, VP of Corporate Social Responsibility & Fisheries Management, Bumble Bee Foods
- Creating Innovation Utilizing the Toyota Way
In this session, participants will identify the strategic methodology to develop customized and unique solutions that will result in a breakthrough competitive position. Potential topics may include A3 thinking, root cause analysis, Hoshin Kanri, Kaizen (practical and cultural), and much more. Bring examples that plague your industry, and together we will analyze and develop the potential innovative solutions.
Facilitator: Dan Mulloy, Senior Consultant, Honsha - Innovation Networks: Managing the Challenges, Interactions andConflicts
Arguably the two most influential works on innovation are related - Schumpeter and then Christensen both promoted the idea of 'creative destruction' in their views of how best to manage strategic innovation. Increasingly, we see organizations such as P&G and Siemens reach across their supply chains to build collaborative value networks for their 'next idea'. In this session, we will focus on the impediments to collaborative innovation and measures to counter those impediments.
Facilitator: Simon Croom, Ph.D., Professor, Supply Chain Management, University of San Diego

I recently fell for a pretty picture and bought some peony seeds -- supposedly the bloom is blue. Since then I've read that it is difficult to grow peonies from seed. What is the best way to do it or should I just admit defeat? |

I'm guessing this may be what you purchased right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-Flower-Chinas-Peony-Seeds-Paeonia-suffruticosa-Tree-DIY-Garden-Fresh-/221060962624?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3378429940 If you have them on order, I would suggest scarifying the seeds with hot tap water, not boiling water, let them sit in the water for 24-48 hours until the seeds stop floating, then plant them into a fertile flower bed about 2 inches deep. They need about at least 3 months of warmth, then 3 months of cool temperatures, and then another warmup to sprout. If you plant them now, you should have some of them sprout next spring, but many may take until 2014. They do best in a flower bed because it is a natural environment with natural fluctuations in temperature & moisture levels. The planting depth is also very important because if they surface, pill bugs will eat them up, or they might freeze. 2 inches is a pretty good depth. I have attached one of my blogs. By now, some of these seedlings have 3-5 leaves and nice woody stems. |

Thank you so much, Steve. You have given me hope. |
I hope you realize that there is no such thing as blue Peony. The picture in that listing is badly photoshopped. |

The research firm's new study revealed that worldwide tablet shipments increased by 49.5% year-on-year and 6.7% quarter-on-quarter to 27.8 million units in Q3, with this surge largely down the rise of Android tablets.
Apple, in contrast, saw its healthy market share continue to fall, dropping from 65.5% in Q2 to 50.4% in Q3, with the other top five tablet vendors (Samsung, Amazon, Asus and Lenovo) gaining as a result.
"After a very strong second quarter, Apple saw growth slow as both consumer and commercial (including education) shipments declined, and rumors of a forthcoming iPad mini began to heat up," said Tom Mainelli, research director of tablets at IDC.
"We believe a sizeable percentage of consumers interested in buying an Apple tablet sat out the third quarter in anticipation of an announcement about the new iPad mini. Now that the new mini, and a fourth-generation full-sized iPad, are both shipping we expect Apple to have a very good quarter.
"However, we believe the mini's relatively high $329 starting price leaves plenty of room for Android vendors to build upon the success they achieved in the third quarter."
One of the biggest beneficiaries of Apple's slump was Samsung which, driven by strong demand for the Galaxy Tab and Note 10.1, shipped 5.1 million tablets in the quarter, over twice as much from Q2 and three times as many shipments from the year before.
Lenovo and Asus also enjoyed 'solid' year-on-year growth, while the release of the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD and refreshed Kindle Fire helped Amazon grow from 4.8% in Q2 to 9% in Q3. This comes despite Amazon focusing largely on the U.S. market only, although it is branching out to five new countries in Q4.
IDC expects the arrival of Windows 8 tablets to add to market competition on Apple, but believes that high prices could prove to be the stumbling block.
"Competitors are turning up the pressure on market leader Apple," said Ryan Reith, program manager for IDC's Mobile Devices Tracker. "With the recent introduction of a number of Windows 8 and Windows RT tablets, consumers now have a third viable tablet platform from which to choose.
"However, price points are critical in tablets, and Microsoft and its partners will have a tough time winning a share of consumer wallet with price points starting at $500."

OK I am growing several stone fruit trees in containers on drip irrigation. Twice now in the last two weeks I have noticed that my drip spikes have been acting like they are clogged or something and have only been dribbling out water when normally they are putting out a good spray. I cant explain why this is happening. I am using 1/2 inch black line then using 1/4inch micro tubing and a drip spike that spins out water 360 degrees and is adjustable and my system runs of a water spigot with a psi regulator run with a timer. When I noticed the problem both times I fiddled with the spikes and opened it up more and then it started working correctly. The problem is when the system is running I am not always here and Im afraid of disaster and I really dont want to have to adjust the spikes every day. This same setup worked perfectly all last year with no issue so I was surprised with two glitches in the last week or so. Anyone know what may cause this? Anyone know of anything to try and correct the problem? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You could have mineral deposits or debris clogging up the dripper. I got rid of drippers for a lot of my plants and went to porous tubing instead. Just make sure no length is greater than 15ft (not a problem in pots) and partially bury/cover the tubing. Works great for me. |

Warm in winter, cool in summer, and filled with amazing acts in every season, the Big Apple Circus's pair of Italian-made big tops contains the best of several generations' worth of circus traditions. A look at any show's cast finds a complex network of venerable European circus families passing the arts of juggling and trapeze artistry down through the years, while the tents' motors and seating make for a comfortably modern spectator experience.
You might never guess that the troupe started small in 1974, when American circus artists Paul Binder and Michael Christensen joined forces as a juggling act on the streets of Europe. They moved from streetlights to spotlights in a hurry, appearing on the stage of the Nouveau Cirque de Paris, before returning to the U.S. and creating their own not-for-profit circus in 1976 and raising their first tent in New York's Battery Park.
The Adirondack Phantoms are the hard-hitting American Hockey League affiliate team of the Philadelphia Flyers. With top scorer Denis Hamel coordinating the attacks, Johan Backlund guarding the net, and left wing Andrew Rowe acting as the wry comic relief, the Phantoms stand ready to disrupt the rankings of intradivision rivals the Charlotte Checkers and Albany Devils, as well as Atlantic Division power Connecticut Whale. Screaming fans with gold-level seats, shown in black on this seating chart, will have a clear view of every smoke-trailed slap shot, every body-checked player's smushed face against the Plexiglass, and every accidental summoning of Ymir the frost giant.
Hard-rock juggernauts Five Finger Death Punch give audiences four for flinching on their Share The Welt tour, a high-octane evening of nail-driving metal and chugging aural concrete. Since bursting onto the scene in 2007 with its gold-selling debut, The Way of the Fist, Five Finger Death Punch has scaled the charts and the musical food chain, gulping its competition like a possessed Takeru Kobayashi. For the tour in support of its latest effort, American Capitalist, the gang enlists an entire posse of heavy hitters. Massachusetts metal mavens All That Remains, fresh from melting soles on the Vans Warped Tour, bludgeon audiences with an arsenal of hits, and hardcore shredders Hatebreed share unkind words as they haze the speed of sound. Adding power-chord crunch to the show, Fort Wayne's Rains sprinkles audiences with raw and emotional sonic sleet.
Since the 2003 premiere at ATF, Bowers and his autobiographical show have toured the country, delighting audiences with a barrage of comical chronicles, such as his psychic father-son bonding experience or the time Miss Montana vomited on him. The title and many of the show's thematic nuances stem from Bowers' career as a mime, a trade which puts a great deal of importance on using hand gestures and body language to communicate things like "I'm pulling a rope," "I'm in love with this girl," and "I was rejected by my top pick for grad school." Click here to read Bowers' take on the show's background, then get your ears tickled and your chuckle machine greased up on either of the following dates:
Disney's Emmy Award–winning Imagination Movers will perform their In a Big Warehouse concert in the grand interior of the Glens Falls Civic Center, playing their most popular songs and bringing the magic of their eponymous TV series to life. The popular New Orleans–based rock band bridges all generation gaps with fun and educational songs chock-full of memorable melodies and bounding rhythms that adults love as much as kids, fueling long van drives and kindergarten karaoke. With an extravagant set and ecstatic energy, the Imagination Movers give a performance that gets audiences dancing, clapping, and singing along, with guest appearances from Playhouse Disney favorites Choo Choo Soul, Nina, and Warehouse Mouse.

Women who suffer abuse use mental health care services more than women who have never been abused
Research Activities, September 2009
Women who were abused by their partners use significantly more mental health services than women who have never been abused, regardless of how recently the abuse occurred, a new study finds. Researchers surveyed 3,333 women aged 18 to 64 in the Pacific Northwest and found that mental health service use was highest when the physical or nonphysical (verbal threats or controlling behavior) abuse was ongoing. However, women who experienced abuse recently (within 5 years) or remotely (5 years ago or longer) still accessed mental health services at higher rates than women who were never abused.
These findings indicate that abused women are higher users of mental health services even after the abuse ends, the authors suggest. They recommend that mental health professionals routinely ask women if they have suffered abuse so that interventions can be employed. Compared with women who never experienced abuse, women who were physically abused used more emergency, outpatient, pharmacy, and specialty services.
These rates may be the result of the women seeking care for injuries that result from the abuse. Accordingly, women experiencing ongoing physical abuse had total annual health care costs that were 42 percent higher than women who never suffered abuse. Women who experienced recent nonphysical abuse had total annual health care costs that were 33 percent higher than women who never suffered abuse. This study was funded in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS10909).
See "Health care utilization and costs associated with physical and nonphysical-only intimate partner violence," by Amy E. Bonomi, Ph.D., M.D., Melissa L. Anderson, M.S., Frederick P. Rivara, M.D., M.P.H., and Robert S. Thompson, M.D., in the June 2009 Health Services Research 44(3), pp. 1-16.

text: Don't weep for Newt Gingrich. Sure, the new king of the Hill gave back that $4.5 million advance from his two-book deal with HarperCollins, but his agent expects the Speaker of the House to make a bundle in royalties when the publisher ships 750,000 copies of his tract, To Renew America, next fall. But will he? An informal canvass reveals that booksellers aren't guaranteeing a landslide. ''The publisher's expectations are going to be high and I think they're not going to be met,'' says Richard Howorth of Square Books in Oxford, Miss., a place where works by William Bennett and Rush Limbaugh have done well. Rick Simonson of Seattle's Elliott Bay Books Co. echoes Howorth's view: ''Most books by past or present politicians Tip O'Neill, Ronald Reagan haven't sold much.'' In other words, Gingrich beware: Fortunes in Washington, as in the book biz, can turn on a dime. ''I cannot give away a Clinton book,'' says Penny Davies of Earthling Bookshop in Santa Barbara, Calif. ''How long has he been in office?''

Rosacea-Sufferers Often Misunderstood
Posted: May 10, 2010
page 2 of 2
Career and personality traits were not the only perceived source of disparity between women with rosacea and those without – survey results show that Americans thought that women with rosacea were less lucky in love, including less likely to be in a relationship (64% vs. 81%) and less likely to go on weekend dates (14% vs. 22%).One in five women (19%) with rosacea surveyed would even rather have clear and smooth skin than an eternally fulfilling love life.
Clear skin
The women with rosacea who participated in the survey judged rosacea as the negative focal point of their faces. In order to achieve clear skin, women with rosacea said they would be willing to forgo wearing makeup (33%), exercising (22%) and watching television for one year (21%).They would also give up eating chocolate (44%) and dating (25%) for one year if that meant that they did not have to deal with their skin condition on a daily basis. Lastly, despite today's challenging economic environment, women with rosacea would pay an average of nearly $6,000 and 14% would reduce their income by 10% for five years, to have clear and smooth skin forever. Nine percent would choose clear skin over being financially well off for life.
"The survey results confirm that rosacea can have a strong impact on people professionally, socially and romantically," said Samuel Huff, executive director of the National Rosacea Society. "The National Rosacea Society urges people to educate themselves about this widespread, yet often misunderstood disease, and encourages anyone who thinks they may have rosacea to see a dermatologist to receive a timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy."
"Unfortunately, many people with rosacea do not recognize the symptoms and often mistake their rosacea for another skin condition; therefore they are not taking advantage of the effective medical solutions that are available," said Doris Day, MD, dermatologist and clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the New York University Langone Medical Center. "Without proper treatment, rosacea flare-ups can progressively worsen so it is critical to visit a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Your skin's appearance can be a prominent factor in how you perceive yourself and how others perceive you, so it is very important that everyone takes control of their skin and puts their best face forward."

The Colorado Rockies have had a miserable season so far this year. How is that relevant to the art world? Well, you don't need to consult the game schedule before you head out to the LoDo galleries — like the two I visited this week — since parking is so much easier than when the team is on a winning streak. This point was made when I essentially pulled up, on game day, to the front door of Plus Gallery on Larimer Street, where owner Ivar Zeile has used his eclectic sensibility to come up with the show Merge.
This strange little show brings together small works by three disparate artists, Matt O'Neill, Eric Shumake and Shannon Novak. To say that the work of each is completely different from that of the others would be something of an understatement. But it wasn't this that had piqued my interest; rather, it was the chance to catch up with what O'Neill has been up to lately and to check out whether or not Shumake — known as a former gallery administrator at Rule, and not as an artist — is any good. By the way, he is.
I initially checked out the overall look of the complicated salon-style hanging, in which the works of the three artists are mixed up like a shuffled deck of cards. But to make sense of the show, I had to look at each artist's work separately. That means I made three laps around the gallery's walls.
The Surface BeneathThrough September 1, Robischon Gallery, 1740 Wazee Street, 303-298-7788, www.robischongallery.com.
I started with O'Neill's charming ink-on-paper drawings, which are retro-surrealist and either sophisticated or anti-sophisticated, depending on your perspective. They feature recognizable objects, such as the wine bottle in "Uncle Jimmy," but the overall impression is one of abstracts. Like O'Neill's well-known Picassoid yearbook portraits from the '90s, these recent drawings blend the sensibilities of the modern masters, especially Picasso, and cross them with a high-school doodle reference. It's O'Neill's classic high-culture/low-culture combo, a formula that he's worked successfully for more than twenty years.
Then I went through looking at Shumake's ash-and-acrylic-on-board paintings from his "Charnival" series. The subjects of these informal sketches are amusement parks and carnivals on fire. Shumake has developed an interesting expressionist style, which he relates to folk-art posters. Especially well orchestrated is his use of a limited palette of dark grays and browns for the backgrounds, juxtaposed with the oranges and yellows of the flames.
The last of the trio, Novak, from New Zealand, is a geometric abstractionist who works in hard-edged forms in simple shapes such as triangles and stars. Many of the pieces in the show are taken from a series that attempted to convey sounds through colors.
Merge at Plus really doesn't make much sense as a whole, but splitting it into three separate parts — in particular, O'Neill's drawings — makes it worth a visit.
The Surface Beneath, at Robischon, meanwhile, absolutely should not be missed. What is it with Robischon lately? This is the third show in a row where owners Jim Robischon and Jennifer Doran have knocked it out of the park (unlike the Rockies). Back in the spring, it was four artists who do contemporary art with Western content; then, in the early summer, the gallery mounted a survey of recent conceptual abstraction. And now we have this diverse offering. It truly is hard to differentiate Robischon from a really good small museum — except that everything is for sale.
Truth be told, the four artists in The Surface Beneath — Dirk De Bruycker, Brandon Bultman, Ian Fisher and Gary Emrich — also create disparate works, just like the trio at Plus. The difference is that each one is given his own space, which works a lot better, because it allows visitors to take in the individual artist's particular vision all by itself without the visual noise of the others getting in the way.
The Surface Beneath begins with a full-blown solo given over to De Bruycker, a Belgian-born artist with a studio in Santa Fe and one in Granada, Nicaragua. He has written that the sights of the tropics, with their insect, bird and animal life, provided inspiration for these visually rich paintings. De Bruycker works in the color-field realm, in which color, as much as anything else, is the actual subject of the paintings. The artist pours vibrant pigments onto the canvases. The oil paints he uses have been cut somehow with solvents so they produce veils of color that only partly block out what's beneath them. In the case of these paintings, it's drawn-in elements that serve to create structure in the otherwise freeform compositions. The results are eye-popping.
Speaking of eyes, you may not believe your own when you turn the corner and catch a glimpse of "Bufalo Blanco," by Brandon Bultman. An emerging Colorado conceptualist, Bultman is interested in translating his personal experiences — especially his childhood growing up in Kansas — into works of art. I recall having seen a two-part Lego-green plastic sculpture by him that consisted of separate halves of a house; the piece was about his parents splitting up. In the case of "Bufalo Blanco," the subject is the old family farm on the high plains.

Because listening is an active choice of love, its greatest enemies are apathy and busyness. Most of us would never intentionally abuse our children, but all of us are tempted at times to stop listening to them, even though listening is the active force of love. Let me be blunt: to stop listening is to stop loving. Love is not about what you don't do; it's about your movement toward someone. The opposite of love is not hatred; it's apathy.
Gary L. Thomas
