25 Tips for Practicing Radical Self Care
By Deborah Roth
Tip#6 – Keeping your memory sharp and your mind clear is critical to maintaining healthy work-life balance, whether it's about remembering your daughter's baseball game, or your boss' meeting schedule. Crossword puzzles, trivia games, or playing "Brain Quest" (www.BrainQuest.com) with a favorite kid are all fun ways to stimulate your "grey matter".
Tip#1 – Combat chronic rushing! Resolve to leave 10 minutes earlier than
you normally would to get to any appointment. Leave yourself time to stroll or drive leisurely and notice the difference in your energy level when you arrive. Adrenaline is an energy drainer... creates a great "rush", but with a price.
Tip#2 – Remember to BREATHE! In fact, make a point several times a day -- while you're sitting in traffic, on the subway, holding for someone on the phone -- to take five slow, deep breaths. If nothing else, you'll be re-oxygenating and re-activating your brain cells, ready to tackle the next project, challenge or phone call.
Tip#3 – We all know the benefits of healthy eating, but unless we're forced to change our habits for medical reasons, we don't get to experience the very real change in energy level, focus and well-being that results. Just pick one thing… cutting down on caffeine, switching to whole grains, eliminating sugar… and notice how your body responds. Once you get past the initial "detox" stage, you might be surprised at how much better you feel.
Tip#4 – There is no more powerful medicine than rest. When you sleep uninterrupted for a period of 7-8 hours, your body's natural healing and rejuvenating abilities are free to work, resulting in better reaction time, memory, and productivity. In fact, getting less than 6 hours triples your risk for a car accident… a pretty compelling reason to turn the light out earlier.
Tip#5 – You don't have to be a marathon runner, swimmer or cyclist to reap the benefits of exercise, nor do you have to become a gym rat. The simple act of walking is a great low-impact, cardio workout. Try walking to work, or getting off the bus or subway a few stops early on the way home. Studies show that just 30 minutes of exercise can dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease and other illnesses, and increase your life expectancy.
Tip#6 – Some nutritionists say that 80% of the population are de-hydrated… are you?? Water is necessary for your body to digest and absorb vitamins and nutrients. It also detoxifies the liver and kidneys, and carries away waste from the body. Caffeinated coffee, tea and sodas all cause the body to lose water, which means your blood is literally thicker, making your brain less active and sapping your energy. So replace that ever-present coffee cup with a bottle of water and enjoy the boost!

Mix: iCheating, Toilet issues, Breakout quarter, Apple fine
Schools in Alberta, Canada have banned students from listening to iPods during exams. "You can record stuff onto your iPod," said Ben Heshka, a 12th grade student. "Like just read out your notes and just record it as a song and just listen to it. That's been known to happen."
A pink iPod mini that was dropped down a toilet by a Santa Clara University student has finally been removed from the university's drain system after months of efforts. One maintenance worker called the device "indestructible" after trying to clear it from the pipes.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said yesterday that Apple could have a "breakout" fourth quarter. "We believe September has the potential to be a breakout quarter for Apple due to the convergence of the following factors: back-to-school selling season, full availability of MacBook and MacBook Pro, Boot Camp impact on overall Mac demand, PC-to-Mac switcher ad campaign, and the halo effect," Munster wrote in a research note.
Apple has been fined $100,000 by the state of Washington for not registering with the state as a service contract provider from 2000 to 2004. "A 1999 Washington law required all companies selling service contracts to register with the Office of the Insurance Commissioner," reports the Puget Sound Business Journal.

Wow, you know back when I was in high school you couldn't ever listen to CD players during tests, and I know that now they don't let you listen to iPod's either. Shouldn't that be kind of obvious that someone could cheat?? but then again, that's Canada for you…..

I had to re-read that about listening during exams… we aren't even allowed to have iPods in the exam room, let alone use them.
Posted by Eric on June 14, 2006 at 3:54 PM (CDT)
Yeah, I don't think it's a "Canada thing". I've never seen in my lifetime people listening to music as they took a test, so I don't know why/how the hell this listening to an iPod for cheating thing is even being done. It's just assumed that you WOULDN'T listen to music/talk on a cellphone/etc during a test, must be some backwards school there.

Posted by Pat on June 14, 2006 at 5:58 PM (CDT)
We aren't allowed anything except pens and rulers etc at our desks during exams,, and if someone is caught with an iPod or a phone or whatever, even if its switched off and in your pocket, its searched and then you pay a E30 fine to get it back!
Posted by Stev on June 14, 2006 at 6:10 PM (CDT)
I have never heard of any school in Canada that allows iPods during exams. Most teachers do not allow them during tests either. I believe the gov't dictates that no iPods, MP3 players, cell phones, PSPs, etc. are not even allowed on-person during an exam. If a student is caught using any of these things the are excused from the exam and given a mark of zero. No exceptions. It sucks…
Posted by CanadaChris on June 14, 2006 at 7:21 PM (CDT)
ICHEAT!!!! im so glad i graduated high school this year before the teachers caught on to this… i did this on almost every test this year as well as the last two years… your right the notes section is much easier than saying your notes on a mic…. but this year i got the 5g vid and before that i had the 3g so this year we got ahold of the answer keys and took pics of them and put it on the ipod too. its great stuff if you can get away with it.
Posted by i am the icheater on June 15, 2006 at 12:16 AM (CDT)
Honestly, I listen to my iPod basically all day in school, test or not. Hell, I listened to The Olivia Tremor Control for a solid 5 hours during the SAT's. I just run the wires of my Shure e2c's up my shirt in the back and right up to my ear. My hair covers them, and I usually only put one bud in so I can still hear. Being able to listen to music in class makes it much more tolerable. I wouldn't really want to cheat with it though. Just as easy with a notecard or something.
Posted by kevmakara in Horsham, PA on June 15, 2006 at 12:17 AM (CDT)
I AM an Alberta high school student. All of us got a pretty good laugh out of the fact that this was headline news today. Our teachers are not dumb. We have NEVER been allowed to use iPods during tests including Provincial Exams (Diploma Exams, Finals, whatever you want to call them). Despite the fact that this was not an explicit rule up until now no head examiner in their right mind would let students listen to an iPod during a final.
Posted by albertastudent on June 15, 2006 at 1:28 AM (CDT)
Listening to iPods at school??? During exams??? Here in the UK before every exam you have to hand over your mobile phone and iPod/mp3 player. If you are caught having one (let alone using one) you're screwed, all of your exams are pretty much thrown away!

Hi I wen t up to my hunting cabin and collected two female Harris checkerspot ,two female Canadian tiger swallowtail,two female viceroys,two female white admiral and one female american lady. I decided to do kinda a study to see different preferences of females choose locations and host plants. The Canadian tigers have not become used to captivity cause they usually take a week to a week and a half. The american lady had two host plant options. They were prealy everlasting and pussytoes. She laid six eggs on pussytoes and she laid 15 eggs on prealy everlasting. The female Harris checkerspots laid eggs on flat topped white aster. The weirdest of all was the limenitis. They do the limenitis slide. That's where they fly to the middle of the leaf and slide down until they are at the very tip and lay an egg. But there's females are cray. They laid eggs on the underside of the tips on stems and middle of the leafs and on top of each other. I had five host plants. I had paper birch, black cherry, chokecherry, sand bar willow and quaking aspen. They laid one egg on paper birch that was from a viceroy. No eggs on sand bar willow, chokecherry,black cherry. And the rest were on quaking aspen. Jacob |
Follow-Up Postings:
You've got quite a busy spot for butterflies. I'm jealous of your variety. Keep up the great work. Martha |
More results this time with black swallowtails I found that female black swallowtails prefer to lay eggs on the host plant they were laid on. She was raised on parsley and she has laid 10 eggs on parsley and three on rue and none on dill and golden alexzanders. And thanks Martha. |

How are the Harris' doing? |
They are doing really good. I ordered six flat topped aster from one of our native nursery and all the caterpillars are in their little nests. I got a new garden son I need a lot more plants. If I live in an area with red spotted purples and white admearls should I release the pure breed whites with the hybrids red spotted purple? If I need to clarify just tell thanks |
- Posted by bernergrrl z5 IL (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 14 at 12:16
Yes. They hybridize naturally in some parts of the country. When I lived in NH, I always found hybridized ones. Pretty cool! |
Should I release them or no? Thanks |

The Liturgical Institute | News
Institute Hosts Conference on Sacred Architecture: "Decoding the Christian Temple" | 11/18/2014
On September 26th, 2014 the Liturgical Institute welcomed nearly one hundred participants to a day-long conference on the deep meaning of liturgical art and architecture. Using Liturgical Institute faculty members as speakers, the event was entitled "Decoding the Christian Temple: Church Architecture and Its Place in Christian Worship."
The term "temple" was used intentionally in the event's title in order to open discussion of the Biblical notions of architecture, namely, its symbolic significance as bearer of God's presence and the renewed heaven and earth. Moreover, this rich biblical symbolism was amply demonstrated as present in authoritative Church documents.
Institute Director Fr. Douglas Martis started off the day with a talk entitled "The Rite for the Dedication of a Church: The Key for Decoding the Christian Temple." By walking participants through the rite itself, he explained how the theology embedded in the Church's liturgical books can inform church builders.Dr. Denis McNamara followed with a lecture entitled "From Temple to Eschaton: The Church Building As Image of the Mystical Body of Christ." He noted that members of the Church are called Christ's body, God's building and temple of the Spirit. He then investigated how the eschatological notion of "living stones" is symbolized in church architecture and its figural arts.
Christopher Carstens addressed both specific situations in church building and the theology supporting the Church's legislation in a talk entitled "Encountering the Mystery: Altar, Ambo, Portal, Font." He was then joined by Dr. McNamara for a presentation entitled "Thorny Questions: Seating Plans, Tabernacles, Choirs and More" which sought to help church builders make prudent decisions about much-discussed topics in ecclesiastical design.
Lastly, Dr. McNamara closed the day with a talk he called "From Brown Brick to Radiant Gems: Building the Council's Heavenly Vision," in which he discussed the text and larger context of the Second Vatican Council's chapter on liturgical art. He then explained the immediate post-conciliar architecture and today's renewal of Catholic tradition.
As with all Institute conferences, the day was punctuated with sung Liturgy of the Hours and continued conversation at meals. Many thanks to all our guests and speakers! -
Liturgical Institute Welcomes Blase Cupich as Archbishop of Chicago | 11/18/2014
On September 20, 2014 Pope Francis named Bishop Blase Cupich as successor to Cardinal Francis George as Archbishop of Chicago. Liturgical Institute Director Fr. Douglas Martis concelebrated the Installation Mass at Holy Name Cathedral, praying along side him, on November 18.
As founder of the Liturgical Institute, Cardinal George holds a special place in the heart of the Liturgical Institute's faculty, staff, students and alumni. We thank him for his sharp intellect, generosity of time and interest in our students.
But the Institute also has another reason to celebrate: the new Archbishop is a sacramental theologian. He holds both a Licentiate and Doctorate in Sacred Theology in Sacramental Theology from the Catholic University of America. His doctoral dissertation investigated the theology of Advent in the Roman tradition by comparing its Lectionary readings.
Archbishop Cupich was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Omaha, Nebraska in 1975, attending St. Thomas University in St. Paul, Minnesota, before seminary formation in Rome at the Gregorian University and the Pontifical North American College.
Archbishop Cupich's pastoral appointments after ordination reveal a breadth of experience: parish priest, high school teacher, diocesan office of worship director, seminary rector and Secretary to the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, DC.
Interestingly, his time as bishop spans three pontificates: he was named Bishop of Rapid City, South Dakota by Pope John Paul II; to Spokane, Washington by Benedict xvi; and to Chicago by Pope Francis. As Pope Francis' first appointment to a large American archdiocese, this appointment to Chicago was understandably hailed as the first evidence of the "Francis effect" in the United States. When reporters asked him what kind of message Pope Francis was sending in this appointment, Archbishop Cupich replied that the pope has sent a "pastor, not a message."
Archbishop Cupich made it a priority to visit the Mundelein Seminary and Liturgical Institute faculty just days after his appointment was made public, making his gentle style evident immediately in his preaching at Mass and warm greetings.
In many ways, Archbishop Cupich's famed gentle approach to issues which affect the Church is much like the approach of the Liturgical Institute's fundamental approach of joyful fidelity to he liturgy. We invite people to study, understand and love the Church's liturgy. We do our best to help people of differing opinions let the norms of the Church be a point of unity in the context of compassionate pastoral practice.
The Liturgical Institute offers Archbishop Cupich our heartiest welcome! -

Liturgical Institute Students, Faculty and Staff Serve at Area Soup Kitchen | 6/25/2014
On June 21st, Liturgical Institute students, faculty and staff purchased, prepared and served dinner at Holy Family Soup Kitchen in Waukegan, Illinois. Nearly 100 meals were served for families and individuals.The connection between liturgy and social justice was a central theme of the early 20th-century Liturgical Movement. One day earlier, students in Dr. Denis McNamara's course on the Liturgical Movement were reading Dorothy Day's writings on the connection between the sacred Liturgy and love of the poor. The next day they were serving dinner to the poor at Holy Family Soup Kitchen.
Here are a few quotes from the namesake of the Institute's publishing imprint and major Liturgical Movement figure, Msgr. Reynold Hillenbrand former Rector of Mundelein Seminary:
"Liturgy is the corporate prayer of the Church, by which divine life streams from the head to the members. Corporate worship is the great need of our times, the cure of our evils, the rallying point of the spiritual forces of the world."
"We can't act with Christ as Mass without translating that act into life through the apostolate."
"Both liturgy and the events of daily life [are] equally occasions for bearing generous and faithful testimony to the fact that God's merciful justice finds its scope in human history." -
Chant Specialist Adam Bartlett Joins Liturgical Institute | 6/5/2014
The Liturgical Institute happily announces the arrival of Institute alumnus and noted chant specialist Adam Bartlett to join the staff of the Liturgical Institute! He will bring his expertise in music and chant to our programs, beginning by being choirmaster for the 2014 Summer Session. He will also help develop the Institute's sacred music programs, teach the "Music and Liturgy" course for the Institute, oversee the music of the Institute's prayer life, and offer chant workshops on campus and around the country. He will also teach the three course sequence of chant classes for seminarians in Mundelein Seminary.
As some have heard, Adam's title will be "Assistant Director and Faculty Member" and a few people have asked if this means that the current Assistant Director, Denis McNamara, is leaving the Institute. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dr. McNamara is staying on as always, newly promoted to "Associate Director."
Welcome Adam! -

| Posted by Max | (Aurora, CO)I absolutely love how this bar looks on my 2004 Toyota Tundra. I opted to get the Black with the Stainless Steel accents and it looks amazing. The installation was a piece of cake and was installed within an hour, just took a little muscle to get the bolts that were already in place out. The only thing that I would recommend is to mount your lights on the bull bar before installing the bull bar because if you wait until the bar is installed, it makes the process extremely hard. The only complaint that I have is that I was told that I would need the license plate re-locator because it would cover up my plate, however, when I put on the bull bar the license plate was perfectly seen.

Sony Xperia V
We are anticipating to see all the front runners in this year to be delivered with a big 5 inch screens that will certainly offer resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This will be a hard time for various other mobile phone however we are pretty sure that Sony Xperia V and similar will have their place available since there are still lots of individuals that are not about to offer huge quantities of cash for flagships.
We do not see why a phone with dual-core Krait and an LTE connection should not appreciate life in the midrange. OK, the top midrange – however the Xperia V isn't quickly caught off-guard. Obviously, folks are not as effortlessly impressed today as, state, a year ago. Yet, a choose few phones are willing to supply 1080p videos and 13MP stills, while putting an HD touchscreen at your fingertips.
And there's additional to the Xperia V compared to that. It's more long lasting compared to your average smartphone without appearing like an army bot. You should've figured it by now, what we have here is a dirt and waterproof Xperia T with 4G connectivity and a tad smaller display. Oh, well they had to see to it the wetsuit would still match the user.
Primary attributes:.
– Quad-band GSM / GPRS/EDGE assistance.
– 3G with 42.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA.
– LTE Cat3 DL 100 Mbps UL FIFTY Mbps.
– 4.3″ 16M-color capacitive LED-backlit Reality LCD touchscreen of 720p resolution (720 x 1280 pixels) with Sony Mobile BRAVIA engine 2; Scratch-resistant glass.
– Android OS v4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean appearing.
– IP57 approved for dirt and water resistance, around 1 meter immersion for 30 mins.
– Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU, 1 GB RAM, Adreno 225 GPU, Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 chipset.
– 13 MP autofocus camera with LED flash and geotagging, Superior Auto mode.
– 1080p video clip recording @ 30fps with continuous autofocus and stereo sound.
– VGA front-facing camera.
– Wi-Fi a/b/g / n with DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct and hotspot.
– GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS.
– 8GB of built-in storage, microSD card slot.
– microUSB port with MHL and USB-host help.
– Stereo Bluetooth v4.0.
– Specification 3.5 mm audio jack.
– Stereo FM radio with RDS.
– Voice dialing.
– Deep Facebook integration.
– PlayStation Certified, access to the PS Shop.
– Accelerometer and distance sensing unit.
– NFC connectivity.
Main disadvantages:.
– No JellyBean at launch.
– Relatively modest battery capacity.
– Video tape-recording fails to excite.
– No equipment shutter important.
– Comes across as overpriced.
The one point that doesn't assist Sony look particularly excellent is the tardy landing of the latest software program. The Xperia V is still to get Jelly Grain – and it will likely be JB 4.1. There have been reports of Sony pushing back the Xperia V's launch on particular markets to put the most recent software program in. That makes good sense however is maybe component of the factor for the limited supply, that's been keeping costs fairly high.
A bit of a vicious cycle there, not as well helpful for Sony, yet with any luck not for long. With any luck, the Xperia V must be acquiring the Jelly Bean therapy as early as February.
We're undoubtedly assessing the Xperia V each time when the eyes of the Sony faithful are set in other places. It's been a year given that the Eastern went solo and, although they've blown hot and cool so far, they appear to have located their speed. With a few full-HD five-inchers, Sony is ahead of some of their leading competitors. Okay for a year's work.
And exactly what regarding the Xperia V? Long story short, it is the water-proof variation of the soon-to-be-ex-flagship and it will probably interest rate individuals that have an usage for an IP57-certified phone and that would not spend beyond your means on a mobile phone, advanced five-inch full-HD touchscreen or not.

what's the difference between leathered and honed granite? I thought they were the same thing but sounds like they are not... I know what leathered is bc we saw a slab of it last weekend - loved it!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by elizabeth714 (My Page) on Wed, May 14, 14 at 14:50
honed is not polished. it's matte. leathered is matte and textured. those are my understandings. |
- Posted by kitchen-reno (My Page) on Wed, May 14, 14 at 14:53
yes I'd describe the same as elizabeth714. Honed is a matte look, but still smooth. Leathered is also a matte look, but textured too. I have leathered and I love it! |
- Posted by melkel31 (email@example.com) on Wed, May 14, 14 at 15:06
is there any reason NOT to get the leathered? as far as upkeep? |
- Posted by andreak100 (My Page) on Wed, May 14, 14 at 15:41
melanie - I love our leathered countertops...the texture is wonderful and they have a "warm" feel to them. We haven't had ours long, but so far the only potential thing that I've thought of in terms of upkeep is if you were to get stuff stuck a bit in a "divoted" area it would be slightly more difficult to clean. I suppose if you were rolling out a sticky dough and some got stuck and you didn't clean it, something could get stuck. I probably also wouldn't be inclined to stick meat directly on it because the juices could collect a bit...but really, does anyone put meat directly on their counters? I would put it in line with other granite - you do certain things and avoid doing some others. Typically, you aren't going to have a problem. Unless it's a stone that would have issues also if it were polished - and certainly the leathering process won't help you defeat the stone's natural qualities. :) |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Wed, May 14, 14 at 16:16
I have leathered too and have had zero problems with it - it's also a white granite. Nothing gets stuck in the "divots" - it's hard to explain but there are not fissures so nothing really sticks in them - I have rolled dough directly on the granite and it washes right up. I wash up with all kinds of different cleaners things and it cleans up just beautifully. My previous kitchen had honed granite and this is what I see as the biggest difference. The honed granite doesn't have any gloss to it. It is a matte finish. The leathered is different. It doesn't have a gloss but it does have a sheen to it which I cultivate by using Method clean and polish. So you don't see fingerprints but there's a kind of soft glow to it that I really like very much. |
- Posted by melkel31 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, May 15, 14 at 6:44
thanks for the detailed descriptions of the differences! much appreciated! I am in the process of calling around and seems that the leathered typhoon bordeaux is a tough find! :( we have a lot of granite places around too! ... |

Somebody here did a kitchen that had a breakfast (or whatever you want to call it) table that was in one position when not in use but was rolled "away" for eating. It had a decent size and was not pulled out or unfolded from a wall or a cabinet but had wheels. I was sure I bookmarked it but cannot find it. Also, I once saw another kitchen that had a breakfast table going "across" a window that was attached to the kitchen counter using some kind of pivot and could also be rolled for seating in the middle of the room. I cannot find it on Houzz and it was before discovering Houzz, I think. If you know what they are could you please post the link(s)? Thank you very much! |

I remember both of them, but I can't find them. I remembered answering someone's post about movable tables. If I find them, I will post again. |
Sorry, I dropped the ball - too much going on. :-( Thank you, Iroll and Peke! I have seen quite a few on Houzz too but none of them is what I remember. And the kitchen owner was somebody whose screen name I used to know but it escapes me know. |
Hmmmm... even after 2 cups of coffee I can't recall the table you're referencing. Maybe a Sat AM bump will help. Good luck! :) tmy |

The video for Jennifer Lopez's "Dance Again" single debuted this week on "American Idol," and it's hot.
In a clip shown on the hit reality program, the 42-year-old singer and her 24-year-old boyfriend, back-up dancer Casper Smart, don't hold back. The scantily-clad pair executes numerous sensual dance sequences to the song's up-tempo beat.
"J.Lo is no stranger to dating a backup dancer," Ian Drew, senior editor at Us Weekly magazine told ABC News. "She likes sort of being with and working with the people she is with."
Lopez and Smart are hardly the first Hollywood couple who've displayed affection for each other as part of work.
Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley did the same in the video for the song "Uptown Girl," and of course, Nicole Kidman and then-husband Tom Cruise did in the film "Eyes Wide Shut." Most recently, Heidi Klum and her singer husband, Seal, had tangled, naked limbs on display in the steamy video for the song "Secret."
But such collaboration may be a harbinger of relationship doom. Joel and Brinkley, Kidman and Cruise, and Klum and Seal, have all since broken up.
Lopez has worked with romantic partners before. In the music video for the song "Jenny From the Block," her then-fiance, Ben Affleck, caressed her bikini-clad bottom and snapped off her bikini top.
He went on to marry Jennifer Garner, and she married Marc Anthony.
The Anthony-Lopez marriage lasted seven years, but ended shortly after they collaborated on a new reality TV show, "Q'Viva."

You're probably here to read about Portal, Valve's first-person puzzle game about opening rifts in space to cross uncrossable obstacle courses. It's designed around one simple but mind-expanding idea: you can shoot a hole in any wall, and then another one somewhere else, and if you walk into one you'll come out of the other. Fire them side by side and you'll walk straight back into the room you just left. Fire them on the floor and ceiling and you'll fall through the same room at terminal velocity forever.
The game grips you by the wrist and leads you briskly past the befuddling basics of these rifts, straight to the good stuff. Within a few short levels you're using orthogonal portals to translate your gravitational potential into lateral velocity and flinging yourself exhilaratingly over turrets and lethal slime. By nudging you gently through rooms that cleverly lead your eye to the correct - yet patently impossible - solution, it swiftly teaches you a dazzling roster of lunatic tricks.

But they still get my money every month and just like the vast majority of people who pay for their TV, that's not going to change anytime soon. There simply isn't anything that replicates the experience and is free or low-cost. Read More

Public Health News Roundup: August 11
EBOLA UPDATE: Spanish Priest Receives Experimental U.S. Drug
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
As the World Health Organization (WHO) and other public health agencies continue to debate the ethics and intricacies of using experimental treatments in response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Spain has imported the U.S.-made ZMapp drug to treat a 75-year-old Spanish missionary priest who was evacuated from Liberia last week. The experimental drug, produced by Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. of San Diego, Calif., was previously used on two American health workers who are now being treated at an Atlanta, Ga., hospital. More than 1,000 people have been killed so far in the outbreak which began last March. Read more on Ebola.
Study: Concussions Similar No Matter their Locations
One concussion should be treated just as seriously as any other concussion no matter where on the head it occurs, according to a new study in the journal Pediatrics. Researchers determined that no matter the location, the symptoms and time away from the field were similar for high-school football players who received a concussion. Approximately 44.7 percent of concussions from player-to-player collisions occurred from front-of-the-head impacts and 22.3 percent were from side-of-the-head impacts. The researchers recommended improved education on safer "head up" tackling techniques in order to reduce student athlete concussions. Read more on injury prevention.
Pregnant Women, Fetuses Exposed to Unnecessary Antibacterial Compounds
Children of pregnant women who are exposed to certain antibacterial compounds may experience developmental and reproductive issues, according to new data presented this weekend at the American Chemical Society annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif. Researchers looked at triclosan and triclocarbon levels in the urine of 184 pregnant women, finding that all tested positive for the former and 85 percent tested positive for the latter. Triclosan was also found in more than half of the samples of umbilical cord blood. The two chemicals are found in more than 2,000 everyday consumer products, including toothpastes, soaps, detergents, carpets, paints, school supplies and toys. Researchers also found butyl paraben in more than half of the urine and cord samples; the chemical has been linked to shorter length in newborns. All three can and should be removed from household goods, according to Andrea Gore, a spokeswoman for The Endocrine Society and a professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Texas at Austin. "The efficacy of these products as being helpful to human health has not been proven, but companies are adding them to products anyway," she said, according to HealthDay. "There's no downside to removing chemicals that have no proven benefit." Read more on maternal and infant health.


text: I was just interviewed for KSL-TV regarding the approaching papal conclave in Vatican City. I believe that the interview will air (if it does) at 5 PM. (Perhaps it will also be broadcast again later, but I don't know about that.) It wasn't a long interview, but it was fun. If past experience is any guide, it'll probably end up lasting about twenty seconds on air.

The Arkansas State Police office in charge of arkansas chl's told me that senate bill 268 that was signed by Governor Mike Beebe will take effect on the 1st of AUG. It makes the following change:
What does this change? For one thing there has been a debate on whether they will accept a permit from arkansawyers living in the state possessing a permit from another state, such as florida or utah. It will be a moot issue now. Secondly from what I understand there are states that recognize arkansas permits and arkansas does not recognize theirs. That will change now, but I don't know what states they are. They said their website will show it on the 1st of aug.(a) Any person in possession of a valid license issued by another state to carry a concealed handgun shall be entitled to the privileges and subject to the restrictions prescribed by Arkansas concealed handgun law, (§ 5-73-301 et seq.), provided that the state that issued the license recognizes concealed handgun licenses issued under § 5-73-301 et seq.

Evans captained the side and handed MK Dons the opener in their 4-0 rout when he blundered by passing the ball straight to the opposition in the penalty box.
The 26-year-old, one of the side's most senior defenders, then put another team mate under pressure with a poor pass to gift the home side their second.
On both occasions fellow Northern Ireland international Will Grigg jumped on the opportunities.
Agonisingly, for Grigg he was substituted 23 minutes from time despite being on a hat-trick against the 20-time champions of England.
Despite 10 changes from the United side which drew at the weekend against Sunderland in the league, the loss was one of the Old Trafford side's most embarrassing in its long history and leaves new manager Louis Van Gaal without a win in three competitive games for the Red Devils.
Following the loss Evans has faced a barrage of criticism in the media from pundits and across social networks.
Van Gaal said the MK Dons loss was not a shock and that he was all too aware of his team's defensive frailties.
"We made errors in building up situations in the first phase, and when you make errors like that you give the match away," he said.
I am not shocked, Milton Keynes played very well, very aggressively.Louis Van Gaal
I am not shocked, Milton Keynes played very well, very aggressively.
Louis Van Gaal
The Dutch man deflected attention from Evans' errors admitting he played a role in the defeat by pushing his team on for the win in the second half.
"I am a coach who always takes risks," he said, "and at half-time I changed how we played."
"And we had nine injuries. We also had to play within 48 hours so I could not play with the same squad as on Sunday."
United, who handed a British transfer record fee to Real Madrid ahead of the game for Argentine Angel Di Maria, have suffered a rocky start to the season following last year's poor performance under the sacked David Moyes.
However, Van Gaal insisted he would put things right.
"When you start as a manager in the Premier League with a home loss, a draw, and after that you lose a cup match then it is very disappointing," said the former Netherlands boss.
"For the fans it's very difficult to still believe in the philosophy of Louis van Gaal but you have to do that because I am here and I am here to build a new team and a new team is not built in one month, it takes time."
