The New Hampshire man who lost both of his legs in the Boston Marathon bombings went back to work this week for a visit.
Jeff Bauman's recent visit to the Costco in Nashua was the first time he has been reunited with his co-workers since he was injured.
Bauman works at that Costco.
Bauman happened to arrive while the United Way was presenting a prize -- a cruise -- to one of his co-workers, so the United Way asked him to do the honors of announcing his winning co-worker's name.

ARLINGTON, VA. (April 6, 2009) The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) has announced the appointment of Demiana William Faltaos, Ph.D., to the position of Research Fellow at the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), where she will begin work this week to develop effective Alzheimer's disease-state models for a 2-year period. Dr. Faltaos' appointment comes at the end of a collaborative effort to recruit and screen scientific candidates for the position by AAPS and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). The agreement was signed in December of 2007 by Janet Woodcock, M.D., Director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the FDA, and the Executive Director of AAPS, John Lisack Jr., CAE. The CRADA marks the first time that AAPS has contributed the funding for a specific research agreement.
"We are thrilled to have Dr. Faltaos become a part of this unique partnership between AAPS and the FDA," said Lisack. "Her research skills and experience will be put to great use on this project."
Dr. Faltaos received her Ph.D. in pharmacy from the "Ren Descartes" University of Paris V in May of 2006. Prior to accepting this appointment, she served as a Clinical Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacokinetics researcher with Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development in Belgium.
"Dr. Faltaos brings with her years of drug development experience and a strong background in modeling and simulation," said Joga Gobburu, Ph.D., Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Clinical Pharmacology, FDA. "The FDA is excited to embark on this important Critical Path project with new drugs under development that may modify disease progression, this CRADA will allow us to explore the benefits and risks of competing trial designs and analysis in order to discern disease-modification effects."

10" and 20" Comparsion
My light needs are simple, and all I had planned on buying were 2 100 watt off road lights with a "driving pattern". Thats all I was looking for. Then I started to look at HID's, LED light bars, etc. So my question is, does say 10" RI light bar compare to two 100w lights up front output wise, or? How would you compare the output with the 10" and 20" lightbars with "traditional off road lights"? I know the larger light bars can have multiple light patterns built it, but just a rough idea with the output comparsions would help. Thanks guys for you feedback
i have a 20" vision x evo prime bar on my 4runner and it puts my 55watt hid headlights to shame both in spread and distance
Cannot compare output of leds to hids. Bang for your buck would be hid converted lights. In general hids for distance and leds for close range. Best to use both. Use what suites your needs.

Embolization for Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of muscle cells and fibrous tissue that form inside the uterus. Fibroids may cause no symptoms, while in other women produce heavy vaginal bleeding and bulk symptoms (pelvic pain, pressure on the bladder causing a sensation of fullness, lower back pain). Fibroids can also be a cause of pregnancy loss in some women.
Treatment options for uterine fibroids that are causing symptoms includes hormonal therapy (to temporarily shrink the fibroids), surgical removal of one or more fibroids (myomectomy), or removal of the uterus (hysterectomy). More recently, a minimally invasive procedure has become widely available called uterine fibroid embolization. Like thirsty plants that need to be watered daily, survival of fibroid tumors depends on a continuous supply of nourishment from blood vessels. If these blood vessels are blocked, the fibroids will gradually shrink down in size, similar to a plant that withers from a lack of water. Uterine fibroid embolization is a procedure that doctors use to shut down blood supply to the fibroids by injecting tiny sand-like particles into the arteries of the uterus so that shrinkage will occur. In 95% of women who are candidates for uterine artery embolization, their bleeding symptoms are improved. In approximately 70% of women with bulk symptoms who are candidates will have improvement.
The uterine fibroid embolization procedure is performed in the interventional radiology suite under "twilight anesthesia" and local anesthetic. Through a tiny nick in the skin, the doctor inserts a soft plastic catheter into an artery near the patient's hip. Guided by a specialized x-ray camera, the catheter is carefully steered into the arteries of the uterus which nourish the fibroids. At this point, microscopic particles of plastic spheres (which are inert and compatible with body) are injected until the desired amount of blockage is achieved. The catheter is removed and the doctor presses on the patients skin where the artery was entered until bleeding stops. After 15 minutes, a Band-Aid is applied to the insertion site. The patient remains in hospital overnight, and can usually return home the following day.
The NYU Fibroid Center
The NYU Fibroid Center, the first of its kind in the New York area, brings together a team approach to managing women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. Our Center offers the expertise of a gynecologist experienced with the latest minimally invasive techniques in surgery (including laparascopic hysterectomy and myomectomy) and a team of NYU interventional radiologists experienced in uterine fibroid embolization. In this way, the unique needs of each woman are considered by a team of physicians, who can then make their recommendations from a variety of treatment options, tailored to each individual patient.

Got this intermediate(?) plicate iris a number of years back in a local horticultural society sale. Have tried to identify it, but have seen photographs of a number of cultivars, on-line, to which it is similar. Can I expect to make an accurate identification in this way? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your picture is great but detail has been lost due to sizing for internet. Also only you know how accurate the purple is. In person is it more violet? So you gather as many pics as possible of candidates, remembering cameras blu/red balance varies. Unfortunately many pics do not show the branching. Branching is genetic. Notice on yours if there are any double-socket buds & if so which ones. What date does it first open (this can vary year to year - temps.) Height can vary from year to year. More info than asked for! Who knows who will read it with the same question? You may not be able to ID positively but you can certainly rule out some. For instance: So that leaves in my limited perusal: Can you rule out further? You may have a possible suspect. It would be positively verified if an iris grower near you had that iris and you took a stalk of yours for comparison of branching, etc.. Cheers. |

Thank you Iris-gal. I really appreciate your kind and informed attention. We have a close-packed perennial garden, which we tend to keep well watered; apparently not great bearded iris gardening. Those of the many irises I've previously bought, that survived more than a couple of years, tend to do so at the front of very sunny locations (likely more evaporation/ drainage), as expected. I'm very happy when bearded irises do survive a number of years, as that above. Some of the old mainly large bearded irises that I've planted and maintained, in better iris locations in other gardens, have already survived, with division, 10/15 years. I recognize that cameras "lie", especially when it comes to colour. For that matter my wife and I disagree on purple-blue colour identification in the expected direction (the fourth retinal colour receptor thing). I'd call the above colour blue, not purple; maybe towards violet. The plant (in a very summer location) is the earliest blooming of the half dozen or so bearded irises, other then dwarf irises, which we currently have. I notice that 'Rare Edition' is the only one of your four for which "early" is mentioned. I wasn't sure about the rock cress; have used so many over the years. Judging from the leaf (other pictures of the plant) it is an Aubrieta and not an Arabis. Love their colours, especially 'Whitewell Gem'. One more question re identifying established irises: do you get the phenomenon of degeneration, over years, in the direction of parental types with these sterile cultivars? viz. the plant is no longer a cultivar which can be named? I know, for a certainty, that this can occur with cultivars of perennials like garden phlox. For phlox, I've read that what is really happening is that seeding occurs and seedlings replace the original plant. However, I've definitely observed one phlox plant ('White Admiral') degenerate into a phlox ancestral dirty pink. Thanking you again. |
You're entirely welcome. I'm going to look up the 4th retinal colour receptor! 'Rare Edition' is the one that popped in my mind when I saw your pic. I have grown it and it did bloom before the talls. Some IBs do, some later with the early talls. Regarding the degeneration with beardeds, nope. The newly formed rhizomes are a genetic match with the mother rhizome. Asexual reproduction. That's the reason for identical branching, etc. With lack of water the branching may not attain the lengths and the flowers may be smaller, but placement remains the same. A few cultivars may be a more vibrant color with colder winters/springs. Most not. Broken color iris, however, do have unstable genes. I don't know the specifics. Also 'space agers' with their extended beards becoming flounces or hooks, well, that may vary year to year. 'Thornbird' is an example of sometimes not producing a hook as well as being sensitive to temperatures. It's never been mis-id-ed. Germinated seeds may produce any color (totally different from either parent). In theory a bee polinated flower could drop seed and a particularly vigorous new iris could overrun a clump and be a wimpy color (like your Phlox example). In an abandoned cemetery or abandoned farm? What more frequently happens with beardeds is their wonderful ability to produce a mature plant from a filbert-size piece of rhizome that was left behind and will be identical to the original. Phlox languish and die here. Do they reseed in your climate? 'White Admiral' deserves its award. But dirty pink, ugh. |

Thanks, Iris-gal. Very interesting. The colour reception thing; hope I'm not wasting your time: it's re the possible existence of tetrachromacy in some human females (two X chromosomes). There's currently growing investigation of the matter. Several people, not just gardeners (namely, the colour coordinator at the local Benjamin Moore Paints), whom I've talked to, agree there's some difference in perception of purple versus blue along the lines of sex. My speculation: if the additional receptor is between red and green, the ability to distinguish some purple from blue might be enhanced. Still there are simpler explanations for enhanced colour discrimination in human females versus males. I definitely perennial garden for flower colour and love all colours. We have a lot of garden phlox, which contribute in a big way to the colour in our own small garden in July and August. They do very well in our growing conditions and the number of different cultivars together more or less colour coordinate between themselves. I notice no seeding in the recent phlox introductions, though intensive cultivation of the flower beds and closely placed perennials which shade out weeds may be a factor. |
Interesting that you can see the blue in your IB. I can't. Almost every year we have a disappointed soul who has the first bloom on their 'blue' bearded iris and it's not, it's lavender. I got into a disagreement here about 'Blenheim Royal' (Schrein'90). One person said it was blue and I said mine wasn't. She was convinced I had an imposter. A visit to Schreiner's site and they listed it at the time as Bishop's purple. Which still did not change this person's opinion (it is now listed as medium blue at AIS website) (isn't that strange) (no, think it's better marketing). Maybe she's one female with trichromat? But when I compared it to another lavender in my garden, there was a distinct difference. Less red pigment. Beside forget-me-nits it was pure lavender. Thanks for the Aubrieta id. Your pic inspired me to try it (in my blues, purples, violets, bluey pink dominated bed!). |

Very interested in what you say, Iris_gal. I do see blue in the above iris, especially, for instance, in the edges of the standards. I also take steps to retain the identification of many of the perennial cultivars which I plant, though even then there's pitfalls (like mislabelled plants). Find always trying to only buy cultivars in flower helps. Looked at images of 'Bleinheim Royal' at (general) gardening sites; quite a range of colour variation, the eight images on Dave's Garden being an example. You wonder whether, in these cases, some plants may be misidentified; also, what is the role of different lighting conditions/ different camera quality (as you've indicated). I'm assuming different growing conditions don't have much of an effect specifically on flower colour. Assume one's always better with flower images on a specialty site like AIS. Think in general terms, different people may well have different perceptions of the same colour in one flower. The colour is the reflection of parts the visible light spectrum received by a person's retinas. With colours like purple (viz. there's no purple in the rainbow) their brain has to put the received different parts of the visible light spectrum together. In addition, some folk may be applying more of their attention to what they're viewing than others. This business of especially blue versus purple seems potentially important to me for gardeners, for two reasons: (1) because blue and purple are among the most commonly used gardening colour terms and (2) because it may be a systematic (non-random) thing (viz some women versus all men, plus other women). |
I have been maniacal in photographing beardeds. Quickly discovered the angle of the digital camera made a huge difference in color accuracy. Must rely on the LCD. So the lovely flattering shot was color inaccurate and the less appealing shot portrayed accurate colour. Compounding the problem with iris is the sometimes presence of both water soluble and oil soluble pigments in the same bloom.. One more story and I'll sign off and look forward to more of your pictures this iris season. I could not capture the violet of 'Violet Harmony' and online pics did no better. Tried morning, noon and late. Set the red balance to high. Still wasn't right. So when it got dark, I pointed the camera in the direction and snapped. The flash added the needed red. Since then I have seen one accurate pic but the exif or iptc data was not present to id the camera make. Cheeers. |

Thanks, Iris-gal. Can't wait for spring. Below from one of the mixed perennial garden I've installed and maintained. I'm assuming it was the best one for larger bearded irises, having a lot of space, a lot of sun and several of the beds had wide draining sloped edges. That property was sold, but I do have several gardens (including our own) which have bearded irises and will be back with some pictures in the growing season. With my style of perennial gardening, closely placed and routinely maintained beds, I find Siberian irises are more forgiving (better team players) than bearded, except at the very front of beds. Thanks for the information. Will be back for more! |
I have a purple iris I would love to know what the name is...but I didn't keep the package it came in. Dang it.. the above iris does look like one I purchased this year called "Hemstitched" though. just an idea. |

In this brilliant and highly accessible new translation of the Inferno, Elio Zappulla successfully re-creates the immediacy, directness, and psychological force of Dante's original text. Zappulla's faithfulness to Dante's Italian is matched by an unobtrusive and beautifully executed commitment to convey to today's reader, through the lyrical cadences of everyday American English, the emotional and aesthetic impact of Dante's masterwork. At the same time, the reader is never allowed to lose sight of the Inferno's intellectual majesty and moral grandeur.
Universally acknowledged as the greatest poem of the European Middle Ages, The Divine Comedy also marks the first time the vernacular was used in the high Western literary tradition to express ultimate issues of being and transcendence. Uniting the most powerful energies of popular culture and magnificent gothic edifice of Medieval scholasticism, Dante created a new language that combined an intense lyricism with the intellectual seriousness demanded of the his project—nothing less than the creation of a Christian epic addressed to the common reader. Dante's synthesis of epic with lyric has bequeathed to modern artists and translators a permanent imperative to translate his art into contemporary , living speech.
The edition of the Inferno is illustrated by the paintings of Gregory Gillespie, a contemporary artist who has been engaged with Dante's writings and imaginative world throughout his career. They provide a complementary means of meditating on the continuing meanings and resonances of one of the defining works of art of the Western tradition.
PRAISE FOR Zapulla's translation of The Inferno:
"Zapulla's version...offers an elegant, accessible reading of one of the great moral texts in the Western canon.... It should find a home among scholars and students, beginners and aficionados for its reasoned, affectionate interpretation of the great poet's masterwork."
—The San Diego Union-Tribune
"An unexpected and glorious gift. The love of Dante comes through in the text—every line carefully, beautifully translated."
—Wallace Fowlie, Duke University
"Zappulla's translation is the right one for our time. Dante speaks again—in the vernacular. This Inferno breathes with every bit of its old lyrical life. All the horror and all the beauty have returned. Read the Inferno as one must: by keeping Paradise in mind. Zappulla has made it possible."
—Barry Sanders, Pitzer College, author of A Is for Ox

Gun debate deserves betterFeb. 13, 2013 |
I made a New Year's resolution that I was no longer going to read any letters to the editor sent by a writer who bears the same name as the patriot who declared, "Give me liberty or give me death." This writer, while occasionally providing thoughtful arguments to support his right-wing views, more frequently causes my blood pressure to rise with his Fox News-based intemperate diatribes. His letter in the Jan. 24 edition of The Reminder has forced me to break my resolution. Rather than advance the safety-based or "personal freedom" arguments articulated by many gun rights advocates, this letter writer argues that we all need to carry weapons to subvert President Obama's attempt to form a dictatorship. To back up his argument he outrageously cites the genocides committed by Hitler, Stalin and the leaders of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. This argument would be laughable if it wasn't so sad. It is advanced by a growing number of angry, paranoid white people, many of them past the age of 60 like me, who still haven't accepted the fact that we have an Afro-American president. I think of the title of a book by Alan Paton called "Cry The Beloved Country" when I see this hateful and irrational argument being raised. However one feels about President Obama, it is rational and realistic to believe that this country and its democratic principles will remain intact after Mr. Obama leaves office. That's been the case with every president we've had so far, including Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. Let's have an intelligent debate about gun control and gun rights rather than cheapen such a debate by using farfetched arguments that shouldn't be given any credence by any serious-minded citizen.

Owen Sound Attack 3 @ Barrie Colts 4 (SO)
D Jake Dotchin, OS: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM
Season totals: 3 GP, 0-2-2, +2, 4 PIM
Barrie scored with 30 seconds left in the game to send the contest to overtime. Lightning prospect defenseman Jake Dotchin was not on the ice for the game-tying goal. Jets first rounder (2011) Mark Scheifele, who "should" be in an NHL camp right now, had a goal and an assist for Barrie, but did not convert his shootout attempt on Rangers pick Jordan Bennington. Bennington, as longtime Bolt prospects followers will remember, was a tandem-mate of former Lightning prospect Michael Zador when Owen Sound won the OHL championship. Zador, who was drafted ahead of Jaroslav Janus in the 2010 draft, appears to be out of hockey now.

Dotchin had two assists in Owen Sound's opening night win in Windsor, but couldn't hit the scoresheet in the Attack's home opener. He'll take the win, no doubt. Owen Sound's Daniel Catenacci (Sabres) had a goal and an assist for First Star honors.

Owen Sound Attack 6 @ Windsor Spitfires 1
D Jake Dotchin, OS: 0-2-2, +1, 2 PIM (roughing)
Dotchin picked up where he left off in the playoffs last season, contributing offensively with two assists in Owen Sound's season opener. Dotchin had three assists in five playoff games last spring. He snapped a personal 14-game regular season scoreless streak tonight. Dotchin was drafted by the Lightning in the sixth round of this summer's draft. Cameron Brace (undrafted) had two goals and an assist for the Attack.
Oshawa Generals 5 @ Peterborough Petes 2
D Slater Koekkoek, PBO: 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM
Koekkoek returned to the Peterborough lineup after not only missing all but the Petes' first 26 games last year, but the last couple weeks of the preseason this year. He was named Peterborough's captain in the offseason before being knocked out of their first preseason game with a badly bruised shoulder. Knocking him out of that game was Columbus prospect Boone Jenner, who had two goals and an assist for Oshawa tonight. Koekkoek was playing his first game since November 27, 2011. He had shoulder surgery last fall. The Lightning took him 10th overall in this summer's draft.
Former Lightning prospect Geoffrey Schemitsch, an alternate captain for the Generals, had an assist in the game. The Lightning chose not to sign him in the spring, allowing him to re-enter the draft. He was not selected. Schemitsch was traded to the Gens from Owen Sound last year.

They do have a line on real world stuff. Hollywood just wins out all too often in search of the almighty buck. Additionally, there are plenty of basic tactical resources they already have but don't use (that don't violate OPSEC).
I've heard this show called the new military version of Desperate Housewives.
Sure it's just TV and mine is just an opinion.
I don't have to accept any Hollywood BS broadcast in my own home. I can turn the TV off...as I did.

Available in bright and bold color combinations, the Jazz Original remains one of Saucony's top-selling items, along with the super-lightweight ProGrid Kinvara, the open-mesh Triumph, and the Mirage.

Farmers throughout the world stand to benefit from a new research centre the first of its kind in Australia that aims to develop more advanced fertilizers for agricultural use.
The $5 million Mosaic Fertilizer Technology Research Centre, to be based at the University of Adelaide's Waite Campus, brings together world-leading scientists and facilities.
The new centre has been established by the University of Adelaide in a joint commercial venture with one of the worlds largest fertilizer companies, the United States-based Mosaic Fertilizer LLC.
The Mosaic Fertilizer Technology Research Centre will develop and evaluate more efficient fertilizer products that will be marketed around the world. These new products will be more effective in delivering nutrition to plants. This will enable farmers to more efficiently produce higher yields in crops to meet ever-increasing demand.
The new centre builds on an existing relationship between the University and Mosaic. Mosaic has previously obtained an option to commercialize two fertilizer technologies developed jointly by the University and CSIRO Land and Water, emerging from the research of Professor Mike McLaughlin, Dr Sam Stacey and the University/CSIRO research team.
Professor McLaughlin (Professorial Research Fellow) and Dr Stacey (Senior Research Fellow) both with the Universitys School of Earth & Environmental Sciences will lead the work of the Mosaic Fertilizer Technology Research Centre.
Under an agreement with the Universitys commercial development company, Adelaide Research & Innovation (ARI) Pty Ltd, Mosaic will fund research at the new centre in return for commercialization rights and a share of the intellectual property.
"This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with a research group that is recognised internationally for the quality of its work on fertilizer technology and techniques," says the Managing Director of Mosaic International A

I have lived in Lake Charles, LA for the last 6 years; transferring with my job from Dallas, TX.
I am married to a wonderful man from Lake Charles and our combined children (his two boys and my one daughter) are grown and in the process of forging their own careers and lives. We are very fond of our two Chihuahuas named Margarita and Cinco they keep us on our toes, as it should be.
Cooking, party planning and entertaining has always been a passion and hobby of mine - I just did not realize how much until the last ten years. I have been known to jump at the chance to cater a friends baby shower, or friend's son graduation party - it is my therapy and my joy. If anyone should happen to mention the topic of cooking or recipes I cannot contain my enthusiasm - I'm a true "foodie".
To have a favorite cook book is difficult to list I easily have over 100, two of my sentimental favorites are: "San Francisco a la Carte" and "In Julia's Kitchen With Master Chef's"; both of which were gifts from special people in my life at special times. The Julia Child cookbook is also signed by Julia Child and will forever be one of my prized possessions.
Favorite foods... love Thai food, Mexican, Indian. There are not many things I would not try at least once.
To cook I enjoy baking breads and making desserts; but most of all finding that interesting new recipe that needs conquering! For example: my friend Kathi calls me up from Alexandria, LA (we get together and cook in her gourmet kitchen several times a year) last fall she wanted to make a Williams Sonoma recipe for a Creme Brule French toast that called for Brioche bread. There is no Brioche in Central Louisiana or in Lake Charles, LA (where I live). Kathi and I decided to bake our own Brioche, it was an adventure for both of us; we did it and it turned out wonderful. The French toast was decadent and rich!
Next adventure please ~ this is how I found RecipeZaar.com. Wanting to make my daughter Katie's favorite dessert for Thanksgiving last year, Tiramisu. This is not an easy dessert to find in smaller towns of Louisiana that we were accustomed to finding in Dallas, TX. Kathi and I found our recipe, a Tyler Florence recipe, Tiramisu Italiano (after wading through 6 and deciding this was the better one to try - user friendly, and cooked eggs); then came the hunt for the ingredients. Last year you could not find mascarpone cheese in Central Louisiana or in Lake Charles so I called a local Lake Charles authority, a gourmet gift basket company and asked for mascarpone cheese, the owner suggested I go to RecipeZaar.com and ask for a Mascarpone cheese substitute - the rest is history; I've been hooked ever since to RecipeZaar. Good news... one of the local grocery stores is now carrying mascarpone cheese in my area, Yea!
Known amongst my friends for homemade enchiladas (my Texas roots showing) and jicama salad.
When in Dallas, like to go to Hook, Line & Sinker (off Lemmon Ave.) for the Mexican Cocktail - Appetizer. Mercardo Juarez in Dallas off NW Hwy for almost everything on the menu. I'm Mexican food deprived in Lake Charles - Texas girls need their Mexican food! Many more favs in Dallas - those are the two that came to mind quickly.
Is this just in Lake Charles?... Still don't understand the need for the plop of potato salad in the middle of a bowl of seafood or chicken gumbo. Lots of rice and gravy on everything in Central and South Louisiana...still learning the Cajun ways down here and loving it.

I recently purchased the Springfield Armory XDs .45 ACP. I still have to break in this gun -- I've only shot 40 rounds through it, but so far so good. I've read that a mistake a lot of people make that buy this gun is that they don't clean/oil it before shooting. After cleaning, oiling and racking it quite a few times, this gun has been a pure pleasure to shoot. The recoil is MUCH less than what I was expecting. Obviously, this is a small gun for a .45 -- the only thing I need to do to improve the gun is put on some grips. I ordered the X-TREME GRIPS FOR THE XDS. I narrowed down the grips between the PRP grips and the Talon grips. Based upon what I've read, the PRP grips are cut to a bit more precision, although I'm sure the difference is negligible. I haven't recieved them, yet, so I'll have to post later my feedback on the grips.
Heres the obligatory pics

Silver ETFs King Of Q1 2013
Silver ETFs saw the strongest inflows of any single commodity in the first quarter of 2013, a recently released quarterly commodities report from ETF Securities reveals. Specifically, net new buying of silver products totaled $875 million as investors rotated into cyclical assets.
North Americans were the top investors in silver ETFs in Q1, spending $732 million compared to Europe's $126 million. However, both regions clearly preferred the white metal over gold.
Nick Brooks, head of research and investment strategy at ETF Securities, explained to Silver Investing News that there was a consistent move out of gold, which saw a massive $9.2 billion in net outflows from ETFs, into more cyclical commodities. Rarely is a trend so cleanly obvious as it was in the first quarter of this year, he said.
Brooks pegged the flow out of gold largely on positive sentiment about the US economy, noting that improving data drove expectations for higher interest rates. Also, speculation that the Fed may ease off on the printing press gave the dollar a boost. Investors reacted by cutting their positions in gold and moving into the type of assets that tend to perform in a rising growth environment, Brooks said. And silver was one of the beneficiaries of that shift. It is not clear exactly how much of the money that came out of gold went into silver, but what is clear is that gold ETFs saw heavy liquidation as silver ETFs saw strong inflows. Given that silver tends to benefit from many of the same drivers as gold, it may seem strange that the white metal did not also suffer from weak ETF demand. Brooks explained the situation with the comment, "historically, silver performs very well in an environment of rising growth, certainly outperforming gold in that environment. Recently, most silver investors have been going in more for the metal's cyclical characteristics, not for its alternative currency, store of value characteristics."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Why "Go Out and Play" Is Good Advice to Build Healthy Brains
As families start to wind down summer activities and gear up for the return to school, new research may help parents realize that recess can be as important to a child's brain development as time in the classroom.
Studies discussed in the book "The Development of Social Engagement: Neurobiological Perspectives," show that the experience of play alters neurons in a certain part of the brain for a benefit that doesn't otherwise occur.
Changes in the prefrontal cortex during childhood, said researcher Sergio Pellis in an interview on NPR, help wire the brain's executive control center, which is critical in regulating emotions, making plans and solving problems. So play, Pellis said, prepares a young brain for life, love and even school.
But not just any kind of play. It has to be the kind that kids seem to get less of these days — free-form, uncoached, spontaneous play. No coaches, no umpires, no rules.
"Whether it's rough-and-tumble play or two kids deciding to build a sand castle together, the kids themselves have to negotiate, well, what are we going to do in this game? What are the rules we are going to follow?" Pellis said in the interview. Because these playful interactions actually are fairly complicated social relationships, the brain builds new circuits to navigate them.
A couple of years ago, we discussed another aspect of spontaneous play that involves risk-taking; see "Risky Play on Playgrounds Isn't Always Wrong."
These are lessons scientists have learned from animals.
Species including cats, dogs, most mammals and some birds engage in social play. Observers used to think that rough-and-tumble animal play might be how they develop survival skills. But studies have suggested otherwise. Even if adult cats were deprived of play as kittens, for example, they're still good at killing a mouse.
So researchers began to see the value of play for different reasons. One, Jack Panksepp, studied rats, who horse around a lot, and emit a sound he dubbed "rat laughter." His studies showed that about 1 in 3 of the genes they looked at were significantly changed after a half-hour of play.
Of course, a rat brain isn't a human brain, but there's also a reason rats are common scientific test subjects. As Pellis noted, play behavior is similar across species. Rats, monkeys and children all seem to follow similar rules: Participants take turns, play fair and don't inflict pain.
So play helps people and animals socialize.
In people, Pellis said, the skills associated with play can boost academic performance. One study showed that the best predictor of academic performance in eighth grade was a child's social skills in third grade.
As Pellis observed, "[C]ountries where they actually have more recess tend to have higher academic performance than countries where recess is less."
It's good exercise and good discipline for kids to participate in organized sports. But it's not the only form of physical activity that's good for them. And, possibly, not even the most important.

In recent days, the state's Cabinet for Economic Development has been highlighting an industry that can be summed up in three words: Made in Kentucky.
It's a phrase that applies to more and more products every year. According to the Cabinet, we now have more than 4,000 factories, and their 220,000 employees manufacture about $27 billion worth of goods, a third more than they did just five years ago.
I am writing this letter to ask the people in this county to elect John Brent Threlkeld to the office of Circuit Court Judge. In the seven years I have known him, he has grown into a very trusted friend, and I know he is the best person for this job.
In Kentucky, we are blessed with lots of fresh water.
But much of that water is at risk. The Clean Water Act, intended to protect our waterways from pollution, is under attack from industry groups, which desire to pollute, cover or destroy critical waterways.
So, after waiting on pins and needles for what seemed like months (it was actually about three weeks), my sister and I got our results back from our separate Ancestry DNA tests.

It's the 74th anniversary of National Newspaper Week, a time to observe the importance of newspapers in communities both large and small.
It is kind of hard to believe, but this past weekend I celebrated two anniversaries – two years of marriage and five years at The News-Democrat.
I didn't start out knowing I would one day become a journalist, but now that I am, I really enjoy it.
Each fall, the National Census of Domestic Violence Services takes a real-time, 24-hour look at the true impact domestic violence has on our country.
Retired Teachers' week will be Oct. 19-25. The purpose of the week is to promote awareness of how retired educators give back to the community.
Each year, the Kentucky Retired Teachers' Association collects volunteer hours from each local association. For the 2013 year, CCRTA reported a total of 877 volunteer hours. The actual number was probably higher because not everyone reports their hours.

Any luminaries out there know how you can get access to the symbol style that is currently used for an asset (e.g. a valve) in AutoCAD P&ID?
When you create an asset type in the P&ID Class definitions interface (e.g. a Valve) you have to assign a 'symbol' to the item so that, when you select it from something like a palette, it is inserted. However, you can have multiple symbols for each Class Definition. This prevents having to have a different class definition (i.e. Valve) in your palette for every variation of that type of valve (e.g. Jacketed, Close Bored, Non-Return, etc.). If you have 10 different types of valves, and you do, if you have a different class defintion for each variation, you'll wind up with 60 or more items in your tool palette for each variation.
While that is problem enough, because Autodesk, in all of their wisdom, doesn't have the substitution palette working on the interface, it is actually impractical to select one of 60 items on your tool palette, because on any monitor worth using, the symbols are so small, that you can't read them. You have to wait for the tool-tips to work. So... doesn't work.
I want to solve this problem by querying the drawing through a .NET program that will determine the symbol that is currently being utilized by each asset. But the actual symbol currently being used by an asset is not accessible from any interface that I can see. It is not recorded in the database, and it is not recorded in the .NET interface of the asset. You can see it on the properties palette. It's shown under the 'Styles' heading with the property 'Graphical style', along with every other property that goes to describe the asset. But it's the only property that isn't shown anywhere else.
So where is it recorded? Does anyone know of a way that you can determine what graphical symbol is being used by each asset without using the AutoCAD properties interface? How do you access it from the .NET interface?

Moving Off Gold Standard Responsible Not Only For Inflation, Deficits, Unemployment, But Also Fall Of Roman Empire
By Matt LevineWhen I was at my last job, I tried occasionally to take a step back from deals and markets and get perspectives on the bigger picture. To that end, I once went to a talk given by the anthropological theorist David Graeber, who is perhaps best known for being fired from Yale just maybe because he was an anarchy activist who was occasionally arrested at protests. After this talk – about theories of value from a Maussian-Marxist perspective – Graeber took questions. The tone of the questions, which often began "when I was in grad school" and went on to cite Weber and Nietzsche, and the variety and topiary ambition of the questioners' facial hair, led me to believe that I was probably the only investment banker in the room.
Graeber now seems to be courting a financial-industry audience, however, with a well reviewed new book out about the history of debt, and an interview with Naked Capitalism today. It's a good read, both because Graeber loves to be provocative and because it has things to like for both Ron Paul voters and Paul Krugman readers.
For example, think that paper money will destroy America and QE3 would be treason? Graeber's takes a long-term perspective. Really long-term:

chat Vinay Rai on making a comeback with Endrendrum Punnagai and his mantra for success
Vinay Rai made heads turn with his very debut, director Jeeva's frothy Unnale Unnale . Tamil cinema had a new chocolate hero. Six years and mixed fortunes at the box office later, Vinay romances the big screen again with Ahmed's just-released Endrendrum Punnagai , a story of male bonding and love.
"Shooting for the film was a scream," says Vinay. "We were all in the same age group, and sat together to develop our scenes. Plus there was Nasser Sir. I have always put him on a pedestal and wanted to work with him. It's amazing how he brings himself down to our age… there are no inhibitions."
Endrendrum came to Vinay through Santhanam, who acted with him in Jayam Kondaan . "I've always wanted to share screen space with another hero. It's a great test of your mettle. It helped that Ahmed came up with a youthful script," says Vinay.
Speaking about Endrendrum… , he says it is a great entertainer. "I believe it is a 'value for money' movie."
Analysing his hits and misses, the actor says he always wanted to do movies that were "different". Which is why he rejected nearly a 100 'lover boy' scripts after Unnale …Vinay also decided to do one film at a time and explore genres. "I did not want to be stereotyped." But while two of his films worked, the third tanked. "I'd be lying if I said I was not crushed. But, I told myself that success and failure greet you in every field. Why should this be any different?"
It was the 2012 mass film Mirattal that turned the tide in his favour. "2013 has been a learning curve for me. I learnt what to do and what not to," he says.
Vinay hails from a non-film background. His only exposure to the medium was watching English classics with his family. "I love old-fashioned movies," he says. Rugby was his first love. He played for his home state (Karnataka), for the country, and then gave it all up for the movies. "I gave up something I loved for something I might fall in love with," he smiles. "I am a product of the Jeeva school of movies," he says of the cinematographer-director who died tragically young when shooting in Russia. "He taught me all I know. The one year I worked with him was like a crash course in acting. And, yes, I did fall in love with movies," he recalls.
Vinay calls himself a director's actor. "In good hands, I can prove myself." The actor concedes that there's no guarantee for success, but says he thrives on hope. He now places his trust on the new generation of directors who are willing to take creative risks. "I don't do movies for money or fame. I do them because they enrich my life," he says.
And, he plans to be in the industry for a long, long time. "I wish to be in front of the camera all my life."
