There is something so gloriously magnificent about the World Cup that once it begins you seemingly cannot look away. Perhaps, it is a case of absence making the heart grow fonder, but when world football's four-year cycle comes full circle later this month, you will find yourself glued to the TV screen at ungodly hours watching even the most mundane football match.
Because, hey, it's the World Cup.
Amidst this thankless task of sifting through the dreary fixture list to find games, which has the potential to be spectacular, you will perhaps strike gold on a number of occasions. Most times though, you will strike duds, because lets face it, how exciting can a game with South Korea and Greece really be? But when you stay up and get the chance to watch a great game that others had passed on you will be rewarded. These will feel overly special – occasions where you can struggle bleary-eyed into work the next day, but still walk around with the air of a man who has witnessed something special because he chose to stay up when every other rational soul decided against it. Those moments though, are yours to choose.
At Star Lifestyle, we pick out the best of the best, the easy wins, and the matches you cannot miss if you are a football fan worth his salt. These are the highlight ties of the first round.
Spain V Netherlands
14 June, 1:00am: The World Cup will really click into gear with this game. What more needs to be said for this one apart from the fact that it will be a repeat of last year's World Cup final? The protagonists may have changed slightly, but the Dutch will be looking to exact revenge for their defeat in South Africa. The Oranje ambled through qualifying, under the guidance of future Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal, and with players like Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben, pose more than a potent threat to a Spanish side seeking to defend their crown. Spain may be missing the inspirational Carles Puyol but they have discovered new stars like Koke and Diego Costa to add to an already formidable midfield of Xavi, Iniesta, and Sergio Busquets. The tie is sumptuous and honestly, there is no better way to spend the Friday night. As an extra perk, most of you don't even have to be at work the next day, so might as well get in on the Chile-Australia game at 4 am if you are feeling adventurous.
Italy v England
15 June, 4:00am: Make sure to sleep well into the afternoon of the Saturday because you are not going to want to miss this cracking tie in the early hours of Sunday morning. Work or school will beckon but watching Andrea Pirlo in full flight may just be worth the missed hours in the sleep log. England have a formidable following in these parts but so do Italy, and both sides will look to make a significant impact in this year's tournament. The Italians were in Brazil last year and under new coach Cesare Prandelli play a quicksilver brand of quick one and two touch football. They have an enviable forward line led by the maverick Mario Balotelli and the poacher Guiseppe Rossi. England come into this World Cup, unburdened by the golden generation tag but with talented players like Jack Wilshere and Adam Lallana marshaled by Wayne Rooney. Expect plenty of fireworks to keep the more sleepy of you awake through to the morning.
Germany v Portugal
16 June, 10:00 pm: Nothing remedies sleep better than watching one of the two best players in the world in full flight. But the best thing is that for this cracker of a game you probably will not even have to. At 10pm on the Monday, this is the perfect game to watch along with friends. Three of the Portuguese squad have just won the Champions League as had many of the Germany squad the season just past. The players in this game will be stalwarts from Europe's most heady names like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Expect plenty of attrition, an inspired Cristiano Ronaldo and a Germany side whose creative freestyling won them so many fans last time around in South Africa. They are not quite as liquid and attacking as those days, but even while not at their best the Germans are a force to contend with.
Brazil v Mexico
18 June, 1:00am: May not look like a glorious tie on paper, but Mexico have in the past often troubled Brazil with their strong direct play. The team from the Americas will also face no demons from the weather and a Brazil team with hopes and dreams resting on the slim shoulders of the young Neymar will look to assert their authority in a World Cup on home soil. This sets this tie up perfectly and the atmosphere is set to be explosive. Brazil look a different team this time around, one with much more steel and a lot less elan, but none of that will matter if the World Cup trophy remains home past July. Luiz Felipe Scolari is a wizened expert and the Cofederations Cup triumph will be a good security blanket for a launching pad towards a record sixth triumph.

News Release 430
Devil's Icebox tours at Rock Bridge Memorial State Park cancelled for fall season
Volume 38-430 (For Immediate Release)
Contact: Judd Slivka
JEFFERSON CITY, MO. JULY 28, 2010 – The fall wild cave tours through Devil's Icebox Cave in Rock Bridge Memorial State Park near Columbia have been cancelled to protect the cave's bats, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources announced today.
The fall cave tours, scheduled for Aug. 1 through Oct. 8, were cancelled to help reduce the risk of spreading white-nose syndrome, a fungus that is killing bats. The disease, found mainly in the eastern United States, spread westward this winter and was discovered recently in three caves in Missouri. Although the disease seems to be spread primarily by the bats themselves, scientists believe restricting public access to certain caves will help reduce the risk that spores clinging to clothing or gear of cave visitors might accelerate the spread of the fungus into presently unaffected caves, including Devil's Icebox.
Devil's Icebox Cave is recognized as one of Missouri's most biologically rich cave systems with multiple vulnerable bat species, including two federally endangered species. Wild cave tours through Devil's Icebox were previously allowed during the spring and fall when the risk of disturbing bats was the least. This year, the spring tours were reduced to two weekends to help protect the gathering gray bats from disturbance and because of the possibility of white-nose syndrome. With the discovery of the fungus in three Missouri caves, the fall tours are being cancelled to further reduce possible introduction of the fungus into Devil's Icebox and any of its cave species. A decision about whether to allow the spring 2011 tours will be made this winter. All individuals who have expressed an interest in the fall tours will be notified.
The cancelling of the tours is in keeping with the department's cave closure policy in response to white-nose syndrome. According to the policy, the public routes in the park system's four major tour caves will remain open but most wild caves that harbor bats remain temporarily closed to the public.
This cave closure policy, first announced in May, has been extended until Sept. 1 while the department works with other resource agencies to develop a comprehensive statewide plan for management of this issue.
"We realize how popular these tours are but Devil's Icebox is highly significant and is a biologically rich cave. We must do what we can to minimize the spread of the disease and protect our resources," said Bill Bryan, director of the department's Division of State Parks. "Our agency will continue to work with other resource agencies to learn what we can about this issue and how to manage it while still providing some access to the public," he said.
The park system's four major tour caves that remain open are Onondaga Cave and Cathedral Cave at Onondaga Cave State Park; Fisher Cave at Meramec State Park; and Ozark Caverns at Lake of the Ozarks State Park. Screening measures are in place for people wanting to tour the caves to reduce the risk of transferring the fungus. These measures include requesting that clothing, shoes or accessories worn recently in any other cave not be worn on the tours.

making your own yogurt
mid_tn_mama posted in the packaging thread:
This is why I make my own. If you are interested in knowing how to do it easily--post it here and I'll begin a new thread.
Would you PLEASE post your recipe. I would especially be interested in getting flavored yogurt recipes.
Yes it can be much cheaper to make this yourself than buy. Especially if you like flavored yogurt. You may add jam or fruit yourself. It's easy to take the quantity you like for lunch.
It can be even more advantageous if dry milk is less expensive than regular milk in the area you live. If your milk has gone sour, you can use this and not waste (which is also a frugal thing!)
Homemade yogurt is also a substitute for sour cream in your recipes. Yogurt is a healthy way to encourage "good" bacteria in your digestive system--in other words an inexpensive way to stay healthy.
Here is my recipe:
I don't use measurements so sorry. My recipe is from an Indian friend and it is very easy and practical. I usually start the yogurt after dinner is over and have yogurt for breakfast the next day.
Heat one litre of milk to almost boiling (scalding). Let milk cool until it a drop is comfortably warm on the inside of your wrist (like checking for a baby's bottle).
Mix in a couple tblsp of active plain yogurt (can be from a previous batch or store bought--note, not all yogurts contain active culture) with a whisk until smooth.
Pour in a glass container and put the container in the microwave oven overnight (this keeps the temperature from fluctuating)without turning it on. In the morning you will have yogurt. Whole milk makes thicker yogurt than skim. The consistency is usually not gel-like as the store bought yogurt is. But it tastes MUCH better.
Hope that helps.
Yes, skim is viable--just more soupy. But I like to mix it with granola so it's great.
How long it is good for--well that depends on your viewpoint. I'm the kind of person who, if they didn't use it up before a little mold was growing would scrape off the mold and use the yogurt in baking or a casserole.
So I'd guess you would say that it would keep as long as any yogurt that did not contain preservatives.
Lastly--YES you must refrigerate after it is made the morning.
Every once in a while things flop--don't give up, just try again. With any fermented recipe it is imperative that you use clean utensils.
Couple other points:
I cover the glass container overnight in the microwave.
You can use the dribs and drabs at the bottom of the jelly/jam jars for flavoring (save money by not wasting)
We add a couple drops of vanilla and cinnamon and a little sugar usually.
As I say, it makes a nice breakfast or snack with homemade granola.
Thanks for that recipe even though I don't usually eat yogurt it will be nice to make for my neice.
Some one was asking how long it lasts well to help it last longer you can buy from a homebrew shop sodium metabisulfite=$2-$3LB, or in a tablet form,measured out, but tablets too expensive.You only need a tiny amount less than a table spoon per gallon of wine (I measure that by eye), so I think it would be about the same for yogurt.
Also does it keep fermenting? If so you can also buy potasium sorbate which eventually kills yeast by stoping them from reproducing, and yeast cells lives are really short.
Also I would like to add if anyone on this forum likes wine you can buy a ingr. kit that no fun for me, but from what I hear they produce good wine for a fraction of the cost, and are easy no adjusting.I get most all my fruit for free,because people don't pick it.As for ingr they only cost a small amount I'd say about $10-15 dollars at the most for acid blend, pectic enzym= breaks down fruit,Yeast nutr.(dont usually need),sodium metabisulfite,= prserves wine/ sanitizes,As for equipment can be cheap if you shop around on the internet,and some places will give you their left over buckets that are food grade.Just giving a sugestion.

"Absolutely gorgeous card - perfect for my daughter. Pink and chic, came quickly and customer service was super helpful. Preppy and stylish just like my girl!"
"There were multiple color options for customization, it featured a unique design and the invitations were delivered quickly."
"Love the design on the card. Chose this for our son's first birthday invites. Everyone keeps complimenting on how they love this design."
"This is a gorgeous birthday party invitation. I've received a number of compliments on it as I've been receiving RSVPs. The colors are bright and pretty, the design is modern and fun. I also like that it's a versatile design. My daughters are turning 9 and 7 so I was able to have their ages included on the little red and white signs on the two cupcakes on top of the red cake stand."
"Simply beautifull!! Last year completely satisfied with a 1st birthday model and this year in love with my final product. Very easy to personalize it, great paper quality and perfect pearl finish paper...so delicate. Everyone loved it!!!"

I started using these recently, aftera long absence from the Shiseido line, and I love them. I use them at night to get rid of the day's makeup. I do rinse with water after using them, and my face feels very soft and clean. Not tight or dry like most cleansers do to me. The packaging kind of sucks with the peel cover, but i like the color of the container. hehe.
I would definatly buy this again once I run out.
i've used make-up remover towelettes from pond's, biore, sephora brand, etc these has got to be the best! Left my skin feeling super soft and squeaky clean..not a trace of make-up! Packaging could be better(peel on/off sticker-like lid) and it costed a pretty penny but well worth it! will repurchase.
Edit (1-30-06) - This wasn't all that. Actually kind of irritated my skin cause the sheets weren't soft enough. My Clean & Clear Morning Burst Astringent does so much more than this at about half the price!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This isn't a sort of product I use very often, but as I've been travelling quite a bit for work I thought 'what the heck' and picked them up at a duty free. They are a godsend on a 10+ hour flight- I remove all my makeup shortly after getting on board, dab on some nivea eye cream and drink some water. Then, an hour or so before landing I use a couple of more wipes to cleanse face, neck, and chest. I despise that gross post-flight feeling, and I admit being able to clean up a bit during a flight is one heck of a luxury. I'm not sure if I'd use these every day at home- but definitely take them to the gym and away on weekends. I will definitely repurchase these.
I didnt like these at all. My sister raves about them but they were nothing special in my opinion. They didnt remove all my makeup and left my skin feeling sort of sticky. I didnt like them at all. I would not repurchase.
I like that these cleansing sheets are alcohol-free. They remove makeup, dirt, oil effectively and leave my face feeling truly clean. The sheets are a bit thin, though, but that's the only downfall. Overall, a great product for a quick cleansing!
Got a few sample packs of these to take on a trip. Perfect for cleaning my face on the plane from my seat (I follow it with my skincare regiment). Baby wipes are good for wiping my hands, but for my face I prefer something gentle and made for facial skin. This is non-drying and smells fresh on my skin. Very portable and definitely one of those products I gotta have around!
I found these on sale at Neobeauty.com and thought "what the heck"? I had been using Ponds cleansing cloths but am rapidly turning into a Shiseido freak and couldn't resist. I would rate these the same as Ponds, however I like the quality of the Ponds cloths better. These sheets are kinda chintzy and thin. The product does a good job of removing makeup and (non waterproof) mascara and the Pureness scent can't be beat. These are non-alcholic and leave no oily residue. I will only buy them on sale and will go back and forth between these and the Ponds cloths.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've tried a bunch of different cleansing sheets and these were nothing special. It didn't remove all of my makeup, especially waterproof mascara and it usually took more than one sheet. I prefer my MAC Wipes to this cleasing sheet.

Book Review: Ethics Scholar Makes Compelling Points in THE ETHICS OF STAR TREK
The Ethics of Star Trek by Judith Barad, Ph.D. with Ed Robertson Paperback, 368 pages Perennial Press, 2000
Written for TrekWeb by Alexander Chase� 2002 TrekWeb.com & Alexander Chase
Upon opening Barad's The Ethics of Star Trek, I was expecting another navel-gazing exercise in intellectual masturbation from the cultural studies department of some American university; much like Harrison et al's 1996 Enterprise Zones. In other words, poorly constructed arguments about Roddenberry's Trek promoting a patriarchal model of an Anglo-Saxon male-dominated society where women and ethnic minorities are little more than "property"; or, Trek as the "messenger" of Euro-centric visions of imperialism and manifest destiny in a era of mass globalization. All of which would ignore obvious counter-examples from episodes in order to wedge Trek like a proverbial square peg into a decidedly anti-Western round hole, and provide numerous points of unintentional humor of the laugh-out-loud variety.
However, Barad's The Ethics of Star Trek is not only a pleasant surprise, it is an outstanding and substantial piece of intellectual thought.
The title of the book is something of a misnomer since the book is not really about Star Trek but rather a well-written and reasoned survey of ethical philosophy from Plato and Aristotle's early ideas of ethical virtue to Benham and Mill's concept of utilitarianism ("the greatest good for the greatest number") to Kant ("the end never justifies the means") and Satre's mediations on existentialist angst. What Barad accomplishes is to make the philosophy of moral ethics easily accessible to the layman reader by using examples from episodes of Star Trek as a benchmark and sounding board to explain, illustrate and explore concepts associated with each philosopher's theory of moral ethics. At the same time, the logic of her arguments about the strengths and weaknesses of different theoretical approaches to ethics are weighty enough to maintain the interest of even the most experienced reader.
The result is a well-written, tightly-argued and eminently accessible book about a sometimes difficult subject matter which beginners and experts alike will find richly thought-provoking.
A significant portion of the book concentrates on episodes from The Original Series (principally focusing on the characters of Kirk and Spock) and The Next Generation (focusing on Picard) since these series' ethical foundations in Aristotelian virtue would, for the most part, seem readily apparent to both the author and the reader. Barad's take on the ethical foundations of Deep Space Nine and Voyager is slightly more fluid. She identifies DS9's ethical foundations squarely with Satre's concepts of existentialism; a fact Barad seems to view as a divergent tendency in Trek. Personally, this reviewer has always thought that Existentialism sits nicely within the broader Aristotelian ethical framework and Barad makes no argument to counter this idea, though I have no doubt Satre himself would disagree. Barad does briefly mention, but neglects to explore in any detail, how the differing format of DS9 ("stay and face the consequences") compared to the other series ("encounter, resolve, then move on") may play a significant role in its more explicit basis in existentialism.
When it comes to VOY and her captain, however, Barad explicitly admits that the ethical foundations of the series are "eclectic" at best before settling on a model of Platonic virtue. Of course, this raises some interesting questions - which Barad acknowledges but barely scratches the surface of - since earlier in her review of Plato's ideas about societal ethics (principally detailed in The Republic) the author concedes that the Borg Collective itself would qualify as a Platonic model of societal and ethical perfection. This admission, however, does perhaps begin to bring into focus the rationale behind the increasing personalification of Borg/VOY conflicts between that of the Borg Queen and her 'collective", and the "collective" of Captain Janeway; whom Barad refers to as a perfect illustration of Plato's notions of a philosopher-queen. For many critics of VOY, Barad's observations will provide additional ammunition to question the suitability (and even sanity) of Voyager's captain to lead her crew; even Barad comments that her "decision-making is often brusque" in the extreme.
Barad's attempt to force all of Star Trek into one universal ethical theory (what she refers to a modified Kantian model) at the conclusion fails to convince but it takes up a minor portion of the book and is an interesting attempt to try to tie everything together nonetheless. However, much like Trek itself, it is the journey itself which is much more interesting than the destination. In discussing several episodes, Barad even manages to add some intellectual weight to episodes such as VOY's Concerning Flight, DS9's Let He Who Is Without Sin..., and TOS' And the Children Shall Lead which manifestly failed to do so on their own in the eyes of many Trek fans. She successfully does the same with a few, hotly debated episodes such as DS9's The Reckoning. Barad constructs a very convincing argument regarding the ethical basis of this episode with reference to Kierkegaardian principles (a Christian forerunner of Friedrich Nietzsche's latter "might is right" theories). Indeed, Barad's analysis of the nature of good and evil with reference to Saint Augustine's mediations on moral ethics in comparing The Reckoning and And the Children Shall Lead is an especially fascinating section of the book which goes some way in explaining why the Wraiths choose Jake Sisko as their receptacle, and later Gul Dukat (given what we learned about him in season 4, especially his feelings for his daughter, Ziyal). For those like the reviewer who think DS9's The Reckoning rightfully ranks with the best of Star Trek, this is a welcomed analysis.
Another highlight of the book comes early when Barad literally rips to shreds the ideas of cultural relativism with a clarity of writing which is simply devastating in its logic. It is perhaps ironic that the best refutation of cultural relativism that this reviewer has read occurs in a book where Star Trek figures so prominently. Even Spock would find Barad's logic in exposing the inherent contradictions of cultural relativism, and its uselessness as an ethical framework in both Star Trek and real life, extremely impressive.
Due to the length of the book, there are many intriguing episodes where ethical dilemmas play a central role that Barad has to ignore; DS9's Hippocratic Oath and The Quickening are just two I wish she had discussed. However, near the end, Barad tantalizes the reader by suggesting she will cover more ground "in the next book." I, for one, will eagerly be awaiting its arrival since Barad clearly establishes herself in this book as: perhaps the most substantial thinker about Star Trek to recently be published; and, as a bright talent in the field of ethics. Barad's book is not only a must-read for Trek fans truly interested in the legacy of Gene Roddenberry's creation but also for any student of ethics, Trek and non-Trek fans alike. The Ethics of Star Trek is graced with a depth and clarity of logic which every reader will find a rich and rewarding experience.

September 30, 1999
From 1991 to 1997, the percent of full-time wage and salary workers with flexible work schedules on their principal job increased from 15.1 percent to 27.6 percent.
[Chart data—TXT]
Workers who were married with a spouse present were more likely to have flexible work schedules in 1997. Nearly 29 percent of such workers had flexible schedules, compared with 26 percent of workers who had another marital status. In 1991, married workers with a spouse present had a lower incidence of flexible schedules than workers with other marital status.
Workers with children under 6 years of age had an above-average incidence—over 30 percent—of flexible schedules in 1997. Nearly 31 percent of married workers with a spouse present and children under six had flexible schedules, compared with about 27 percent of workers with other marital status and children under 6.
These data are a product of the Current Population Survey program. Find out more in Chapter 3 of Report on the American Workforce 1999 (PDF 1,037K).

sometimes i pretend i don't see you
in the hallway
and just walk on by
pretending to be absorbed in
thoughts of English or a guy
or whatever goes through normal people's minds
and somehow pretending not to care
about your wonderful, fascinating presence
brushing past me
never seems to work
because my pulse quickens enormously
no matter how big of lie i tell myself
people say you're talkative
and i'm really having trouble
admitting to myself
that every waking hour i crave
some of your pointless words
i know i don't have to beg
(you talk to anyone who listens)
but give me a
pointless word for my
pointless world
because i get in too many bloody fist fights
with reality
like when i try to keep walking
with a purpose
and all that happens is the
that i'm dragging along an oversized secret
called my life
or these heavy, heavy thoughts of people like
smiling in the rain
like the innocent you are
like the only angel i don't want to look away from
the only wonder of the world
without a book written about how bright it shines
but lady, there will be one in my soul…
for watching you has made me a poet
That gave me chills. Beautifully written. I tell myself lies like that, too...
You're alive! I haven't seen a post from you in a while, nad here you go and post a wonderful piece. :)
"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
...where have I been all your life.
Times are busy, but I'm always checking in on Oasis. And thank you for saying that, by the way. :)
Exactly! You're the person I've been searching for my whole 19 years of life.
"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
"If you love someone, tell them for hearts are often broken by words left unspoken"
1 in 3 women think of having sex or experimenting with other women
"Should I smile because we're friends or frown because thats all we'll ever be?"
cnn* :)
Very pretty. I like it lots. ^_^
"because i get in too many bloody fist fights
with reality ..."
stellar. awesome. righteous. i don't even know what else to say. very, very good.
and you tell me i have talent.

Eagles sink talons into Spartans
Thursday, February 20, 2014
WINDHAM — Early in the basketball season, the Sanford High School girls basketball team played Windham pretty evenly most of the way before dropping a close 34-31 decision there. The Spartans put up a good fight in that game, especially Morgan Fogg, who scored 16 points for the locals.
Shelby Paiement and Laura Kirkpatrick led Sanford in scoring with five points each. Summer Camire and Hannah Howes added four, and Grace Riley scored two. Sadie Nelson led Windham with 11 points. Windham came in to the game ranked seventh with a 12-7 record. Sanford was ranked 10th.

mHealth is Data Collection
After reading and reading, it seems that the mHealth phenomenon can really be broken down into two parts: data collection and data distribution. Put plainly, any value derived from mHealth lies in the data being collected from patients and distributed throughout the health care system. You may not believe me, but let's suppose that we can oversimplify this emerging market for the length of this blog post, in order to explore the nuances surrounding it.
mHealth data collection and data distribution… it's complicated
What makes mHealth so interesting, is the fact that there is only one party involved with the data that needs to be collected, the patients, but many distinct parties involved in the distribution of that data. Off the top of my head, you have: doctors, hospitals, clinics, payers, EMRs, PHRs, the Government and now mHealth app manufacturers all figuring out how to communicate together, in real time. However, this data distribution issue makes it easy to become distracted from the real value in mHealth:
Actually collecting data from patients.
data collection in mHealth
What's great about mHealth is the number of ways that data can be collected. When you look at sensors, you have consumable sensors, wearable sensors, stand-alone sensors, and best of all mobile sensors. Data can be collected from here to next Tuesday, but we need to ask ourselves, how great is a data collection system that nobody uses to input their data? It's important to design a data collection system that marries a patient's ability to use the sensor with their interest in actually using it. Ideally, you can design systems that don't require patient interest in using the sensor, as in consumable sensors. But if you aren't able to do that, then you have to understand something. Namely, where is the incentive, or more importantly, what job does the sensor do for the patient that THEY want to have done?
Going back to our complicated dance above with data distribution, it's easy to design and build sensors from the point of view of the party that makes and/or saves the money. Doctors and Payers come to mind. But why does a patient care about making or saving money for their doctor or insurance provider, when they don't even care to save themselves? That's right, less than half of Americans take an active role in managing their own health, today.
Incentives need to be aligned in mHealth in order to unlock the data that we all want.
patient ability AND interest
I would argue that it's much easier to design a data collection system that patients are able to use, than it is to design a data collection system that patients are interested in using. Pick any near ubiquitous technology: telephone, internet, E-mail, text messaging, and you have a system that most people are able to utilize. Note that I didn't mention Smartphone applications… [wink wink] The hard part is designing the data collection system that patients are interested in using, but that is also the key to mHealth's success.
As with any new product or technology, the focus will need to be on finding early adopters for each particular mHealth application. In my opinion, there needs to be a lot more talk about this aspect of mHealth than there is today. What's great about the Internet is that people have already segmented themselves based on their health conditions and interests. What mHealth product developers need to know is: Which subset of patients desperately need their mHealth solution? How many of those people are there? And, how do they find out about the product?
Looking at the problem this way is quite different from looking at how many people merely exist with the condition, which is fools gold. It is also the first step toward finding real business applications for mHealth solutions.
In short, the value in mHealth is derived from collecting patient data. In order to collect that data, patients must have both the ability and interest to provide it. And what we're all really focused on at this stage in the game is finding those hundreds to thousands of early adopters, who are probably already online, to get the ball rolling.

Lice are tiny insects that live on humans and
feed on blood. The lice is commonly
found in small children as opposed to adults.
When a large number of lice live and multiply on a person, it is called
an infestation. However you still ought to be wary because they can crawl and /
or jump on top of your head, particularly when you are close contact with
someone highly infected. Lice spread easily from one person to another through
close contact or through shared clothing or personal item (such as hats or
hairbrushes). A louse cannot jump or
The common symptom of lice is itching. There are different symptoms depending on
which type of lice you have. Lice are spread primarily by direct, head to head
contact with an infested individual.
Indirect spread through share of personal items such combs, brushes,
barrettes, hats, scarves, jackets, blankets, sheets and pillows is less likely
but possible.
Using magnifying glass and natural light,
carefully examine hair scalp sideburns eyebrows, beards and mustaches of all
household members for lice and their eggs, called nits.
Nits which are yellowish which in color and oval shaped, can be easier
to locate than lice. Nits are glued to
the side of the hair shaft and can be found throughout the hair, especially at
the back of the neck, behind the ears, and at the top of the head. Don not confuse nits with dandruff or hair
casts (material from the hair follicles).
Unilike a nit, dandruff can be flicked or blown out of the hair and hair
casts can slide easily along the hair shaft.
Parents will be informed if there has been
reported incidents of head lice in your child's class.
In an effort to stop them from spreading, we
would be grateful if you would carefully check
Your chilc's hair. If any lice or eggs are found, please follow
these 3 steps at least every 3 days for 2 weeks.
Condition the hair – any conditioner will do
This makes the hair slippery and tangle free
Use a head lice comb – start each stroke as
close to the scalp as possible.
Ensure you remove any lice/eggs caught in the
comb after each stroke and once the whole head of hair has been thoroughly
combed, rinse the hair.
Please note, you will have to treat the whole
Our school nurse would be happy to check your
child/s hair on your requests.

Ashe needs a slight buff, nothing much just enough to bring her back in line with the other range AD carrys. Kog,Cait,vayne and graves now are all much better choices. the all have a stronger early game and are the same as her in late game if not better. Ashes passive is lacking, early game 3% ever 3 seconds is kinda pointless, and at 16 getting 18% every 3 is more useful, i think i needs its early game improved to maybe 10% going upto 18-20%. her volly is weak in compairson (Yes before people comment, it is strong, its not compaired to Caits Q or graves Q) The base is a hell of alot lower, and unlike cait who can hit through minions or graves who can hit the same target with more than one bullet, they should implement that volly can hit with 10-15% reduced to each arrow, considering she fires 7 arrows. Hawkshot is extremly helpful but maybe a cooldown reduction as it levels? i know its not ment to be spammed but 60 seconds at level 5 is kinda long. Her ulty is good as it is and frost shot is super helpful for catching people. TL;DR: Ashe is falling behind the other range carrys.
I still play ashe as one of my favoured carrys. The slow brings great utility to the fight, the arrow is perfect for initation or for just turning the tides in a 1v1... the crit is useful only after returning to base... i like the concept seeing as soon as you get back you are guarenteed a free crit on your enemy, which is enough deterence to make them think twice before pushing the lane when you B. I agree hawkshot is on a little too long a CD for saying its not global... but as its range increases it just becomes more useful... 60 seconds is a long time but its a free CV... and finally, yes volley is generally weak and falls of at late game. Soon as you hit about 1.5attackspd and 50 odd% crit with 200 odd AD, volley isnt worth using... BUT... it applies with every other AD carry in game... carrys become autoattack hoes past the 40 min mark. But volley is hella powerful early game, it does insane damage and applies your AOE slow. I think ashe has so many good things going for her, alot of people just dont notice her full potential because they are too interested in highdamage pew pew pew champs... her utility combined with her damage is completly gamechanging when played right. No buff required.
Cait can scout a single pixel of the map with a compined snare, this "scout" only works if they stand on that one pixel. Caits net is litterally only used for escape, to knock yourself back to slow someone just creates a window in a chase, if you miss its just jepordising. I could be mistaken in saying, i cant really be bothered to think at the moment this late at night, but Ashe may be the ONLY carry in game with a global, *pottential to be* the longest duration stun in game, AOE damage that is pretty high still, and a AOE slow... this alone brings ashe up to par. A Carry relies on his feed to carry his team, a ashe that is unfed can still initate fights and CC a entire team with respectable damage... Ashe is a safe choice for carrys... means if you come against someone better, which no one can ever help... there is always something to fall back on. This gives her a edge imo.
Well,I wouldn't say that Ashe is worst ad carry or not viable at all,her volley does less damage but it has slow.I find her quite dangerous to lane against,but I cant disagree about passive. It got to be one of the worst passive's ever,I mean,yes,level 1 ,u can get your crit on the enemy champ,but after that its soo useless. I mean,lategame your crit chance will be high enough as it is,passive will have no use at all. Even while laning,you have to lasthit,you don't have the time to wait to get ur 100% crit. IDK,maybe they should transform hawkshot's gold bonus into her passive(like TF's,but only for her,very useful on AD carry,since farm is the key) and,because of that, decrease cd on hawkshot/increase duration or something like that.
I would undo the ulti CD nerf. Besides from that, she's mostly fine.

The main reason your probably purchased your WetJet was the spray feature. So when it stops working it is very frustrating. This is a guide about when Swiffer WetJet isn't working.
Here are questions related to Swiffer WetJet Isn't Working.
Where are the batteries located? I just purchased the Swiffer. I never realized that the handle was already extended. I secured solution, pressed the trigger, and nothing happened. Is there anything else aside from lack of batteries? What size battery and how many?
By Rose
By Candice Woeltjen V.01/25/2014
The new Swiffer Wetjet batteries are in a different place from the old Swiffer Wetjet. It takes 4 AA batteries. The battery compartment is behind the bottle. Take the bottle out and you'll see a place that says OPEN. place your thumb on this place and slide down. The compartment will open. I replaced my batteries today and it still didn't work for a minute and then all of a sudden when I kept pressing the spray button, it started spraying. Then I checked the old batteries and they were fine. So I guess for some reason sometimes for it to work, you have to take the batteries out and put them back in. And then you have to press the spray button about 20 times. Strange...
I have put a new bottle of solution in the mop, but nothing will spray out. Suggestions?
By Jane
By Abigail A. [6]12/03/2014
You can go to ehow website or youtube for tutorials on troubleshooting swiffer wetjets.
I have a Swiffer Wet Jet CE. The batteries are fine, but when the switch on the handle is pressed the motor does not run to release the spray. Do you have a solution for this? Thank you.
By Richard from Stanardsville, VA
I haven't used it in awhile, so I got a new bottle of solution, new pad, new batteries and, nothing. I can hear the motor running, but nothing comes out. Am I doing something wrong? I know it's been awhile since I've used it, but it can't be that complicated is it?
By ls
I bought new batteries and the spray still doesn't come out! I think the commercials are wrong. I am very disappointed.
By Marquette
I recently purchased a Swiffer WetJet and when I went to use it, it is not spraying. I have the bottle of liquid in it that came with it. I must be doing something wrong. Please help.
By Sue M from Boylston, MA
By jimnell6209/18/2013
I have purchased 3 swiffer wetjets and none of them spray. Have replace the batteries - still not working. It was great in the beginning and now a complete disappointment. Any clue what's wrong?
I refilled my WetJet and now when I use it, it doesn't spray well. The solution only shoots out weakly a few inches. Did I do something wrong and is there any way to fix this?
Mary from Hummelstown, PA
By Bobbie (Guest Post)02/10/2009
I was going to suggest batteries but see someone already has. I want to respond to the statement that the solution is harmful...FALSE ! You can check this yourself on www.snopes.com This is a rumor that's been going around for ages and simply isn't true. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs who are healthy living proof!
I have a Swiffer Wet Jet and love it. I have been using vinegar and water in the bottle. It just stopped one day, so I bought another one, and the same thing happened. Has anyone had the same problem? Do you think it is the vinegar and water?
Sue from New York
By katalyn10/08/2014
I think I may have figured out the solution. Yes, make sure your batteries aren't dead, but you might try pushing the liquid dispenser while moving the mop back and forth. I find that when I want a ton of liquid in one area I'll stop to squeeze squeeze squeeze, and that's when it stops working, but if I am continuously moving the mop then the liquid will dispense. Hope this helps and hopefully it's the solution.
Do you have knowledge about this guide topic? Feel free to share a solution!

What is creativity? Where does it come from? Is it something you have inside, or something you can tap in to?
I personally lean towards the latter. My most creative moments are when I'm in the bath tub, where I get the distinct sensation of "windows" opening in my mind, through which ideas are flowing…

Childhood Cancer Trial Results
- More Chemotherapy May Help after Initial Treatment for Childhood Leukemia Fails
(Posted: 06/07/2012) - A study suggests that at least some children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who respond poorly to initial chemotherapy may do better if they receive additional chemotherapy rather than a stem cell transplant. - Less-Intense Chemo Effective in Children with Intermediate-Risk Neuroblastoma
(Posted: 06/13/2007, Updated: 11/01/2010) - Infants and children with intermediate-risk neuroblastoma who received a less-intensive chemotherapy regimen had three-year overall survival rates as good as those patients in an earlier trial who received treatment that was more intensive and more toxic, according to findings presented at the 2007 ASCO meeting in Chicago. - Addition of immunotherapy boosts pediatric cancer survival:
(Posted: 09/29/2010) - Administering a new form of immunotherapy to children with neuroblastoma, a nervous system cancer, increased the percentage of those who were alive and free of disease progression after two years. The percentage rose from 46 percent for children receiving a standard therapy to 66 percent for children receiving immunotherapy plus standard therapy, according to the study in the Sept. 30, 2010, New England Journal of Medicine. - Imatinib Added to Chemotherapy Keeps Disease in Check for Longer in Children with Rare Form of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
(Posted: 11/30/2009) - The addition of the targeted drug imatinib to chemotherapy for children with an uncommon form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) dramatically improved the length of time the disease remained in remission, according to the November 1, 2009, Journal of Clinical Oncology. - For Children with Leukemia, Radiation May Be Unnecessary
(Posted: 07/23/2009) - Children with the most common form of leukemia can safely forego radiation therapy to prevent relapse if they are treated with chemotherapy regimens tailored to their individual needs, according to the June 25, 2009, New England Journal of Medicine.

Chairman Schumer Announces Inaugural Luncheon Menu & Details
Washington, DC – Chairman Charles E. Schumer, on behalf of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, today announced the menu and details for the 2013 Inaugural Luncheon, which will follow the swearing-in of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
The luncheon, hosted by the members of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, has been a tradition for more than a century. Approximately 200 guests including the President, Vice President, members of their families, the Supreme Court, Cabinet members, and members of Congressional leadership will attend the event in Statuary Hall.
The menu, created by members of the Joint Committee along with Design Cuisine, a catering company based in Arlington, Virginia, includes foods from across the country.
The wines that are to be served during the luncheon are from Chairman Schumer's home state of New York. The wines were made by several of the Empire State's finest winemakers, and complement the flavors in each of the luncheon dishes.
"Agriculture has always played a starring role in American culture and has been at the heart of our cuisine since the birth of our nation," said Schumer. "This Inaugural luncheon menu incorporates foods that the first Americans enjoyed, but with a modern, forward looking approach. I'm confident that Democrats, Republicans, and representatives from all three branches alike will enjoy these incredible dishes from all corners of our nation."
The 2013 Inaugural Luncheon Menu
First Course:
- Steamed Lobster with New England Chowder
- Anthony Road Winery, Fox Run Vineyards & Newt Red Cellars, Tierce 2010 Dry Riesling, Finger Lakes, NY
Second Course:
- Hickory Grilled Bison with Wild Huckleberry Reduction and Red Potato Horseradish Cake
- Bedell Cellars, 2009 Merlot, North Fork, Long Island
Third Course:
- Hudson Valley Apple Pie, Sour Cream Ice Cream, Aged Cheese and Honey
- Korbel Natural Russian River Valley Champagne
The luncheon menu reflects Schumer's choice of a theme for the 57th Inaugural Ceremonies. "Faith in America's Future" commemorates the United States' perseverance and unity and marks the sesquicentennial year of the placement of the Statue of Freedom atop the new Capitol Dome in 1863. When the Civil War threatened to bring construction of the Dome to a halt, workers pressed onward, even without pay, until Congress approved additional funding to complete the Dome that would become a symbol of unity and democracy to the entire world. The menu features American agricultural products that have long been popular in our cuisine, but with an added modern touch. It is a celebration of American farms and agriculture, with a nod to their bright future and continued place in our culture.
The 2013 Inaugural luncheon will present a fresh, contemporary look with a geometric patterned tablecloth that picks up the copper and bronze tones of Statuary Hall. All of this is complemented by the surprise of a head table draped in a crisp, lush cerulean velvet.
The floral arrangements, contained in silver cachepots, were designed by Jesse Bailey of Jack Lucky Floral, Alexandria, Virginia. They will feature the old- fashioned rose called "Free Spirit," which ranges in color from apricot to orange with flecks of coral to rose. Small, orange ranunculus blossoms finish the arrangement.
The luncheon also will feature the historic Lincoln Table, which will hold the flags flown over the Capitol during the swearing-in ceremonies. This unusual iron table was made especially for Abraham Lincoln and was used at his second Inauguration on March 4, 1865. The table was made from materials used for the decorative elements on the Capitol dome, construction of which continued through the war years. During the war years, Lincoln supported pushing ahead with construction of the Dome despite staggering obstacles. He said in 1863, "If people see the Capitol going on, it is a sign we intend the Union shall go on." On permanent loan from the Massachusetts Historical Society, the table is usually on public view in the Exhibition Hall of the Capitol Visitor Center.
On behalf of the Congress and the American people, the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies will present the President and Vice President of the United States with tall, tapering, hand-cut and etched crystal vases created by Lenox exclusively for the 2013 Inaugural luncheon. The vase crafted for the President features an image of the White House with extensive foliage. It rests on a large crystal base engraved with the name of the President and "January 21, 2013." Etched on the Vice President's vase is the U.S. Capitol flanked by cherry trees and other greenery. It, too, sits on an engraved crystal base. The bowls were designed by Timothy Carder, Vice President of Design for Lenox, and hand cut by master glass cutter Peter O'Rourke.
At Chairman Schumer's invitation, the Eastman String Quartet from the University of Rochester will perform during the Inaugural luncheon. These talented young musicians have performed in a number of ensembles before audiences in the U.S. and abroad. The group is coached by Phillip Ying, chair of the School's Chamber Music Department and violist of the Grammy Award-winning Ying Quartet, Eastman's quartet-in-residence.
During the Inaugural luncheon, the Eastman String Quartet will play for approximately an hour from a balcony overlooking Statuary Hall, the site of the luncheon. Their program will spotlight work by fellow Eastman students with arrangements of Copland's "Hoedown" and the University of Rochester's alma mater "The Genesee" by master's degree students Reuben Allen and Michael Conrad, respectively. Additionally, the ensemble will perform Haydn's Quartet in G Major; Mozart's Quartet in C Major; the first and fourth movements of Dvorak's "American Quartet;" Scott Joplin's "Country Club Rag;" and "America the Beautiful."
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies is responsible for the oversight and planning of the Presidential Inauguration and related ceremonies on the U.S. Capitol grounds.
The Joint Committee was authorized by S. Con. Res. 35, which passed the Senate on March 1, 2012, and the House on March 5th. Members of JCCIC are appointed by the Vice President and the Speaker of the House. In accordance with tradition, the Senate representatives on JCCIC are Majority Leader Harry Reid, Rules Committee Chairman Charles E. Schumer, and Rules Committee Ranking Member Lamar Alexander. The House members of JCCIC are Speaker John A. Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
S. Con. Res. 35 established the date of the 2013 Inauguration as Monday, January 21, 2013, since January 20, 2013 falls on a Sunday. This is the seventh time in U.S. history that the constitutionally mandated Inauguration date has fallen on a Sunday. The last time was for President Ronald Reagan's second Inauguration in 1985. When this occurs, the public ceremonies traditionally are held on Monday.
In addition, January 21, 2013 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It will be the second time that this federal holiday has coincided with a Presidential Inauguration. The first was President Bill Clinton's second Inauguration in 1997.

Two retrotransposons maintain telomeres in Drosophila

Telomeres across the genus Drosophila are maintained, not by telomerase, but by two non-LTR retrotransposons, HeT-A and TART, that transpose specifically to chromosome ends. Successive transpositions result in long head-to-tail arrays of these elements. Thus Drosophila telomeres, like those produced by telomerase, consist of repeated sequences reverse transcribed from RNA templates. The Drosophila repeats, complete and 5′-truncated copies of HeT-A and TART, are more complex than telomerase repeats; nevertheless, these evolutionary variants have functional similarities to the more common telomeres. Like other telomeres, the Drosophila arrays are dynamic, fluctuating around an average length that can be changed by changes in the genetic background. Several proteins that interact with telomeres in other species have been found to have homologues that interact with Drosophila telomeres. Although they have hallmarks of non-LTR retrotransposons, HeT-A and TART appear to have a special relationship to Drosophila. Their Gag proteins are efficiently transported into diploid nuclei where HeT-A Gag recruits TART Gag to chromosome ends. Gags of other non-LTR elements remain predominantly in the cytoplasm. These studies provide intriguing evolutionary links between telomeres and retrotransposable elements.

Month: February 2015
Date: February 23--27
Name: Machine Learning for Many-Particle Systems
Location: Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), UCLA, Los Angeles, California.
This workshop will address the reaches and limitations of ML as applied to many-particle systems and highlight examples where physical models can be successfully combined with ML algorithms. The workshop aims to create novel synergistic collaborations between researchers in two different fields: modeling of many-particle (quantum and classical) systems and machine learning. Interactions between many constituent particles generally give rise to collective (or emergent) phenomena in matter. Even when the interactions between the particles are well defined and the governing equations of the system are understood, the collective behavior of the system as a whole does not trivially emerge from these equations.
Applications are due January 1, 2015. Consult the webpage for more information.
