Start Preventing
Lyme and tick-borne diseases have been diagnosed in all 50 states, so even if you live outside of the Northeast, you are still at risk!
The simplest and most effective act of prevention is to avoid being bitten by a tick. This isn't a very practical answer for many people who enjoy working and playing outdoors, and some occupations expose workers to ticks every day. Many Lyme sufferers are bitten in their own yard. But there are some things you can do to reduce your risk. You can also download our brochure, Tick-Borne Disease Prevention Guide to keep with you as a handy guide.
Ticks are most plentiful in areas where woodlands transition into fields, meadows, or yards. Ticks are often found in tall grass, gardens, or mulch beds. Deer paths through the woods are often loaded with ticks. Leaf litter, woodpiles, and rock walls are also areas of high tick concentration. Where mice are present, ticks are usually abundant.
When you are in such outside areas, you need to be particularly vigilant. You should wear tick-repellent clothing, especially clothing treated with permethrin, an insecticide that repels and kills ticks. You may spray your own clothing with permethrin (good for six washings), or purchase pre-treated clothing (good for 70 washings) from a number of well-known clothing companies. EPA-approved insect repellent can also be applied to exposed skin for added protection. Light-colored clothing makes it easier to spot ticks. Wearing long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and a hat are helpful. Walk in the center of woodland trails, and by all means avoid walking along deer paths.
After any time spent outdoors, check for ticks while you are out and as soon as you get back. Showering is also helpful in removing unattached ticks from your body. Remember that some ticks are extremely small and some almost impossible to see. Putting your clothing in a clothes dryer at high heat will kill ticks in about 30 minutes.
There are products that can be used outdoors to kill ticks. For example, Damminix consists of cotton balls soaked in permethrin insecticide inside cardboard tubes that are placed around property where mice may live (wood piles, stone walls, etc.). The cotton will be used by mice building their nests. The permethrin in the cotton kills the ticks on the mice with minimal danger to people, pets, or wildlife. Some communities are experimenting with deer feeders that apply insecticide to the deer as they eat. Tick traps are also commercially available. Some lawn care companies can spray your yard with an EPA-approved insecticide.
Use of chemicals on your skin, clothing, and property is a personal decision, and we do not make product recommendations in this regard.
Even if you rarely go outside, you can still become infected if your pets bring ticks into the house, and they crawl unknowingly onto you from them. Veterinarians recommend a product like Preventic collars, Frontline, and Top Spot to minimize the risk.
Some researchers think that Lyme and other TBDs can be spread by other biting insects such as mosquitoes, horseflies, deerflies, fleas, and lice. Although human infection has not yet been proven, these insects have been shown to carry Lyme and other TBD bacteria.

Private Retreat and Guest Residence, Incline Village, Nev.
Stephen Cridland
The studio/archives pavilion mirrors a guest cottage 240 feet away, overlooking Lake Tahoe.
The studio entrance. Each structure contains a single floor-to-ceiling glazed room and storage components in clerestoried adjacent areas.
Natural materials—mahogany, concrete, and glass—blend into the setting.
Stephan Cridland
Polished brown concrete floors, mahogany built-ins, and exposed-aggregate concrete decks reinforce the colors and textures found on the site.
The guest house faces the archives pavilion across a boardwalk and a Swedish aspen allee.
Guest house entry. The two-pavilion composition fits the scale of its environment better than a single larger building.
The guest pavilion's transparent room overlooks the lake. Viewed from the water, the buildings almost disappear into the trees.
Restrictive zoning on the lake edge limited building area coverage. Basins buried under the gravel sculpture garden help keep all the storm water on site.
The buildings are oriented toward views of Lake Tahoe.
Distinctive buildings often emerge from unusual sites or design briefs, and this commission presented both. Asked to design an archive and guest house adjacent to the client's home overlooking Lake Tahoe, Roderick Ashley came up with mirror-image buildings that are barely noticeable from the lake.
"We pictured the composition as two hands spread far apart, containing this whole site but not devouring it," Ashley says. The low-slung buildings appear as bookends connected by an aspen allee and a raised boardwalk that threads through a gravel sculpture garden. Separating the project into smaller components allowed it to be built without code adjustments, as did the choice of natural materials that blend with the wooded surroundings. The buildings are made of board-formed concrete, with sapele mahogany used on the overhangs and as a rainscreen on non-bearing walls. Roofs are post-tensioned concrete slabs supported by exposed steel columns on the inside and outside. Interior walls feature rough or sawn concrete and wood paneling, and the polished ground-concrete aggregate floors resemble terrazzo.
"Two sides of the buildings are solid, so on approach you're not seeing much, but when you come in there's a lot of exposure to the view and the room across the way," Ashley says. "You can control the lights from both buildings." A judge noted that the project "blends the formality of an edge with the natural world beyond. It applies order to nature without feeling forced."

Barack I Obama Rex President Obama presented his "I have to do something" proposal to end gun rights in America. In truth, there's not much there. You can see the whole list at Slate. I want to highlight a few of them.
5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.
This is a step closer to confiscation. It doesn't matter if you were carrying legally, the cops can still run a background check on you before they give it back. It likely, they'll keep your weapon during that time and you may never see it again.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.
Eileen McGuire-Mahony went over this in depth at People's Press Collective so I'll just hit the high points.
Executive order 16 turns your medical records into a national registry of gun owners. Remember, there's a push to make all medical records available to the Federal government. It won't take long for that data to go straight to the gun grabbers at all levels of government.
EO 17 sets a dangerous precedent of breaking the privacy that should exist between a patient and his therapist. Imagine a patient who is dealing with anger issues. Do you think he's more or less likely to tell his therapist about them if he knows that the therapist will be taking that info straight to the cops?
18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.
Wait. Didn't the NRA propose that? I'll all for schools having an armed guard if the community wants it but that sort of thing should be handled at the local level, not as a dictate from Washington, DC.
There are a few other things that he wants Congress to do. "Universal" background checks to prevent legal, private sales, a 10 round limit on magazines and, of course, a assault rifle ban. I highly doubt that the House will pass any of those things but with John Boehner on the case, anything can happen.
Colorado Democrats are jumping on Obama's proposals as they craft rights eliminating legislation at the state level. Senate President John Morse is pushing as hard as he can for the total elimination of gun rights. He has an interesting attitude towards proposals made by Republicans.
"But Republicans bringing these bills are starting a conversation and I appreciate them engaging on this issue. I just don't think those ideas are going to be helpful."
Translation: "Thanks for playing but we're going to ignore you." If a proposal doesn't take guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens, Colorado Democrats don't want to hear it.
One of the main arguments coming from Democrats is the standard "If it would wave one life." I ripped that fallacy apart in the last episode of Music Free Static. Many Colorado teachers disagree with the Denver gun grabbers. They've been signing up for gun training in droves. Sadly, Democrats would rather see children die than let honest citizens carry weapons in schools.
Lastly, I'd like to share this podcast from the Cato Institute on what's in store for the Second Amendment this year.

Just want to point out, getting to the bottom of Mariana Trench isn't so hard. Getting back is the trick.
When Patrick was 7, an American submarine docked in Holetown. His father took the family to see the metal leviathan. Patrick was transfixed. Vowing to become a marine biologist, he spent hours after school snorkeling or practicing scuba diving in the family pool using his older brothers' equipment. "That's when my love affair with the ocean really began," he remembers.
When he was 19, he headed to a professional dive school in San Pedro, California. It was a dream come true, but it was also brutal. Lahey was the youngest person there, surrounded by grizzled, fully grown men with scars, tattoos, and years of experience. Instructors would randomly shut off divers' oxygen or ensnare them underwater just to see how they would react.
"Patrick was this young, innocent guy with a big ol' smile. He didn't even cuss yet," dive school buddy Jim Kuenzi recalls. The two rented a tiny room near the beach and did nothing but dive, swim, and sleep on bare mattresses they salvaged from a nearby alley. "Everyone else was in it to make a living, but he was in it for something else. The ocean."
By the end of the six-month stint, Lahey was top in his class and the fittest diver around, thanks to his maniacal diet and early-morning ocean swims.
Lahey's instructors introduced him to Lad Handelman, a former Bronx gang member who had turned his life around on the ocean and now owned the largest commercial dive company in the world. Lahey drove Handelman to the Los Angeles airport in his ancient Oldsmobile 442, and though the jalopy broke down en route, the two became good friends, and Handelman helped the young diver get his first job.
"You find a lot of mavericks and gnarly characters in the offshore world," Handelman says. "It's a special breed of men who work hard and play hard — drinking, womanizing, avoiding irate husbands, things like that." Lahey was different. "Patrick could get the job done as well as anyone," Handelman recalls, "but he also had integrity and principles."
Lahey started out sweeping the floor for $3.75 an hour at a small diving company. But what really caught his eye were the company's Mantis diving machines: one-person submarines built like bulky space suits.
One day a sub operator left the manual lying around. Patrick took it home and memorized it. When a corroded part perplexed the mechanics, they left the dive suit sitting out and went to lunch. After Lahey fixed it alone, his boss let him take the suit for a test run; for the first time in his life, Lahey was behind the wheel of a submarine, looking out at crystal-clear waters. He rode an oil well guide wire down to 1,400 feet before reluctantly returning to the surface.
"I felt like I had won the Super Bowl," Lahey says. "I fucking ate it up."
More than two decades before Lahey's maiden sub dive, two men had already blazed a treacherous path to the bottom of the ocean. Their harrowing journey foreshadows the deadly risks behind today's high-tech-submarine sprint to the Mariana Trench.
On January 23, 1960, Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard and U.S. Navy Lt. Don Walsh squeezed into a narrow hatch aboard a blimp-like bathyscaphe called the Trieste. They climbed 20 feet down a ladder, past giant tanks of highly combustible aviation gasoline, and into a tiny spherical cabin with walls of seven-inch-thick steel.
As the Trieste and a support boat bobbed on the waves 300 miles southwest of the Pacific island of Guam, Walsh grabbed the underwater telephone and gave the go-ahead. He and Piccard had tested the submersible to 24,000 feet — about 4.5 miles down — but neither man knew how deep the Mariana Trench was, nor if the bathyscaphe could endure the skull-shattering pressure.
Walsh flipped a series of switches and the Trieste hissed like an angry snake as air escaped its two ballast tanks. While the 50-foot-long steel drum sank steadily into the brine, Walsh and Piccard took turns gazing out the sphere's six-inch window. By 500 feet, the sun was gone. Strange shrimp and jellyfish swirled in the light from floodlights aimed down into the deep.
Hundreds of pounds of metal shot pushed the primitive sub toward the ocean floor. The two men stared at pressure, depth, and oxygen gauges for hours as the cabin grew colder. Then, at nearly 15,000 feet, the sonar-powered telephone cut out.
"We were absolutely alone," Piccard told a reporter shortly before his death in 2008. "We had no way to communicate with the surface." But the pair kept descending.
Suddenly, a violent crack broke the silence. The Trieste shook as if hit by a missile. Without exchanging a word, Piccard and Walsh halted the descent and frantically pored over the controls to determine the cause of the explosion.
"We didn't know what it was, but it sure made a hell of a bang," says Walsh, interviewed by phone from his California home. "We looked around and thought, Well, we're still alive. The pressure outside was 7.5 tons per square inch. If in fact it had been [a crack in the cabin], it would have happened so fast that we wouldn't have been aware of it. We would have just died."

Domestic Abuse
Topic Overview
Everyone gets angry from time to time. Anger and arguments are normal parts of healthy relationships. But anger that leads to threats, hitting, or hurting someone is not normal or healthy. This is a form of abuse. Physical, verbal, or sexual abuse is not okay in any relationship. When it occurs between spouses, partners, or in a dating relationship, it is called domestic abuse or domestic violence.
Domestic abuse is also called intimate partner violence. It is not the same as an occasional argument. It is a pattern of abuse used by one person to control another. Abuse includes:
- Hitting, beating, pushing, shoving, shaking, slapping, kicking, pinching, choking, or burning, or threats to hurt you, your children, or pets. Drugging you with medicine, tying you up, and physical punishment of any kind also are kinds of abuse.
- Controlling behavior, such as limiting contact with your family or friends, or limiting you access to money.
- Not trusting you or spying on you, such as repeatedly calling, text messaging or e-mailing, or checking up on you for no good reason.
- Name-calling, insults, threats, or putting you down in front of others.
- Preventing you from using birth control or from protecting yourself from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
- Forcing you to have sex or do other sexual acts. This can range from unwanted touching to rape, sodomy, forced nudity, forcing you to watch pornography, or forcing you to act out pornography.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious problem in the United States. Each year, women experience about 4.8 million intimate partner-related physical assaults and rapes. Men are the victims of about 2.9 million intimate partner-related physical assaults. It can happen to anyone, at any age, no matter what race or religion they are, no matter what their level of education is or how much money they make.
- Teens may experience dating abuse.
- Older adults can be targets of both domestic abuse and elder abuse.
Abuse can cause lasting health problems and emotional pain. You are more likely to have long-term health problems if you have an abusive partner. Women who are sexually abused by their partners have more sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Abuse can also cause mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety disorders, and suicidal thoughts.
During pregnancy, abuse can cause problems such as poor weight gain, infections, and bleeding. It may increase your baby's chance of low birth weight, premature birth, and death.
Abusers often blame the victim for the abuse. They may say "you made me do it." This is not true. Every person is responsible for his or her actions. They may say they are sorry and tell you it will never happen, even though it already has.
Once abuse starts, it usually gets worse if steps are not taken to stop it. If you are in an abusive relationship, ask for help. This may be hard, but know you are not alone. Your family, friends, fellow church members, employer, doctor, or your local YMCA, YWCA, police department, hospital, or clinic can help you. These national hotlines can help you find resources in your area. Call:
- The National Domestic Violence Hotline toll-free 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233), or see the Web site at www.ndvh.org.

- If you are working, contact your human resources department or employee assistance program to find out what help is available to you.
- If you are seeing a counselor, be sure to go to all appointments.
If you are no longer living with a violent partner, contact the police to obtain a restraining order if your abuser continues to pursue you, threaten you, or act violently toward you.
If you have been a victim of abuse and continue to have problems related to the abuse, you may have depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For more information, see the topics Depression or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
If you know someone who may be abused
Here are some things you can do to help a friend or family member.
- Let your friend know you are willing to listen whenever she or he wants to talk. Don't confront your friend if she or he is not ready to talk. Encourage your friend to talk with her or his health professional, human resources manager, and supervisor to see what resources might be available.
- Tell your friend that the abuse is not her or his fault and that no one deserves to be abused. Remind your friend that domestic violence is against the law and that help is available. Be understanding if she or he is unable to leave. She or he knows the situation best and when it is safest to leave.
- If your friend has children, gently point out that you are concerned that the violence is affecting them. Many people do not understand that their children are being harmed until someone else talks about this concern.
- Encourage and help your friend develop a safety plan. This plan will help keep your friend and her or his children safe during a violent incident, when preparing to leave, and after leaving.
The most important step is to help your friend contact local domestic violence groups. There are programs across the country that provide options for safety, support, needed information and services, and legal support. To find the nearest program, call:
- The National Domestic Violence Hotline toll-free 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233), or see the Web site at www.ndvh.org.
- The National Teen Dating Abuse Hotline toll-free 1-866-331-9474 or (1-866-331-8453 TTY).
The most dangerous time for your friend may be when she or he is leaving the abusive relationship, so any advice about leaving must be informed and practical.
Symptoms to Watch For During Home Treatment
If problems from domestic abuse become more frequent or severe, use the Check Your Symptoms section to determine if and when you need to see your doctor or get other help.
To prevent injury from domestic violence
- Be alert to warning signs, such as threats or drunkenness, so that you can avoid a dangerous situation. If you cannot predict when violence may occur, have a safety plan for use in an emergency.
- If you are no longer living with a violent partner, contact the police to obtain a restraining order if your abuser continues to pursue you, threaten you, or act violently toward you.
It's also important to learn how to recognize signs of teen relationship abuse in your teen so you can help him or her with any problems.
Preparing For Your Appointment
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
If you have made an appointment with your doctor, you may be able to get the most from your visit by being prepared to answer the following questions:
Domestic violence
- Have you ever been emotionally or physically abused by your partner or someone important to you? When was the last time this happened?
- Have you been hit, slapped, kicked, or otherwise physically hurt by someone? What kind of injuries do you have? Did you seek medical treatment for the injuries? When and where?
- How long have you been afraid or felt threatened by the violent behavior of someone else?
- Has anyone forced you to have sexual activities?
- Does the abuser control most or all your activities every day?
- Has the abuser threatened violence against your children? Is he or she violent toward your children?
- Has the abuser hurt a pet or destroyed things that belong to you?
- Does the abuser use alcohol or legal or illegal drugs? Does the abuse happen when the abuser is drunk or "high"?
- Does the abuser have access to guns or other violent weapons?
- Has the abuser ever been diagnosed with depression or a mental illness, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or personality disorder?
- Do you have any risk factors?

The Cross-cap is a representation of the projective plane. (A "projective plane" is a plane with a line added at infinity. It developed out of study of projective geometry.) Cross-cap is like a shrinked Torus where there's no middle hole and the side has been pinched together in such way that the top cross to the bottom. One way to think of cross cap is as a hemi-sphere with its rims sewed together (points on opposite sides connect.).
The significance of this surface is its topological property representing the projective plane.
On a piece of paper, draw a circle. Imagine the opposite points on the circle are connected. That is a projective plane.
Formula: ParametricPlot3D[ {(Sin[u]*Sin[2*v]/2), (Sin[2*u]*Cos[v]*Cos[v]), (Cos[2*u]*Cos[v]*Cos[v]) }, {u, 0, Pi}, {v, 0, Pi}]
Other surfaces immersed in 3D that are topologically equivalent to the projective plane are: Boys surface (of Apery), Boys surface (of Bryant-Kusner), Steiner Surface

growth, which has outstripped the small increases in the number of permanent positions available, has been a major contributor to the swelling of the postdoctoral pool of life scientists. The pool numbers about 20,000, many of whom are marking time until they can move into permanent positions.
Recommendation 1: The committee recommends that the life-science community constrain the rate of growth in the number of graduate students, that is, that there be no further expansion in the size of existing graduate-education programs in the life sciences and no development of new programs, except under rare and special circumstances, such as a program to serve an emerging field or to encourage the education of members of underrepresented minority groups.
The current annual rate of increase in awards of life-science PhDs—5.1% from 1995 to 1996—if allowed to continue, would result in a doubling of the number of such PhDs in just 14 years. Our analysis suggests that that would be deleterious to individuals and the research enterprise. The committee recognizes that the number of PhDs awarded each year might already be too high. Although a return to pre-1988 levels of training might be beneficial, we believe that a concentrated effort to reduce the size of graduate-student populations rapidly would be disruptive to the highly successful research enterprise. The professional structure of life-science research requires the services of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to conduct the research that is now being funded. A serious reduction in this labor force would impair, delay, or forestall the accomplishment of current and future research.
We caution that it will be necessary to distinguish among fields when making decisions about optimal numbers of graduate students. As shown in chapter 2, almost all the increase in life-science PhD production has been in biomedical fields. Actions taken in one field of the life sciences might be unnecessary in others. It is worth noting, however, that the data shown in figure 3.10 suggest that biomedical and nonbiomedical life-science fields are experiencing similar changes in employment trends, for example, smaller fractions of PhDs finding permanent employment in academe.
The committee acknowledges that its recommendation to constrain further growth will not be easy to implement. Life-science faculties need teaching assistants and research assistants, and limiting the number of entering graduate students will be resisted. But the current rate of growth can no longer be justified, and the premises that have produced it must be reexamined. The committee urges life-science faculties to seek alternatives to these workforce needs (see below in this chapter).
The committee examined several approaches to stabilizing the total number of PhDs produced by life-science departments beyond the first and obvious approach of individual action on the part of graduate programs to constrain growth in the number of graduate students enrolled. As the increases over the last decade, as shown in chapter 2, have been fueled primarily by the increased availability of federal support for research assistants, federal agencies might restrict the numbers of graduate students that they support through the research grant mechanism. If further restrictions were placed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on the total amount of salary and tuition support provided for students on research grants well below the current $23,000 cap, it could reduce the attractiveness of research grants as a means of supporting graduate students, although it might also penalize many outstanding programs in private institutions that have high tuitions. Before any action of this sort is adopted, the federal agencies must carefully consider what impact it is likely to have on the university departments and the research efforts being supported.

The government in the UK will now have to go through their 'porn filter' with a fine tooth comb after finding out that it blocks more than just "inappropriate" sites.
The idea of Britain having anything like a 'porn filter' is still a weird one and something you would expect to happen in America before taking place across the pond. But they have recently implemented it and there has been a lot of backlash because it blocks more than just porn. Sites that deal with relationship education, crisis centers for women and even some blogs were affect and considered "dangerous for family viewing".
The filter even blocked a patch for League of Legends, an immensely popular free-to-play game, because two of the files contained within it inadvertently spelled the word sex. How dare they?
Since then the government has issued an apology and are going to go through their filter and get rid of the block on "legitimate" sites. They could, of course, also scrap the whole idea altogether.

Despite what is written in the article, not at all surprising that this hasn't been implemented in the U.S., given the U.S.' strong emphasis on and protection of free speech–even, unfortunately, at the expense of other things such as civility, courtesy and decency.
That's why they blocked by site – because I said I come from Essex :)
Blocking porn is inconsistent with panem et circensis. Britains would propably say: "As thick as a brick"
Ghenghis McCann
Of course, we could expect parents to take responsibility and monitor their childrens' activities on the net.
But, seriously, are the filters blocking sites and files because they contain the letters S-E-X in that order. There were jokes about filters that did that many years ago. The technology surely must have moved on since then. Or did Posh Dave and his government just buy the cheapest package.

Louisiana Requires Ethanol Costs to Beat Those of Conventional Gasoline
Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco signed the "Renewable Fuels Production Accountability Act," Senate Bill (SB) 454, on June 29 that delays the implementation of the state's new renewable fuels standard until the cost of ethanol produced in Louisiana is less than the cost of conventional gasoline. According to SB-454, the price of ethanol must remain lower than the price of gasoline for 60 days before the state's renewable fuel standard can take effect. A committee consisting of representatives from the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation, the Louisiana Oil Marketers and Convenience Store Association, and a member of a college faculty will compile data and meet every three months to determine when Louisiana-produced ethanol has reached the cost threshold needed for the renewable fuel standard to begin. Read SB-454 (PDF 33 KB).
Earlier in June, the Louisiana Legislature passed the Alternative Fuel Law, which requires that 2 percent of all gasoline sold in Louisiana is produced from biomass or farm crops when annual ethanol production in Louisiana reaches 50 million gallons or annual biodiesel production reaches 10 million gallons annually. For details about Louisiana's renewable fuel standard, read a June 21 news story published on the EERE State Activities & Partnerships Web site.
According to the Associated Press (AP), the governor had received criticism that the Alternative Fuel Law would increase prices. Therefore, the legislature passed and the governor signed quickly SB-454. AP also noted that plans are under way to construct several ethanol plants in Louisiana.
Governor Blanco has touted the Alternative Fuel Law as being good for both agriculture and consumers. And she had promised the renewable fuel requirement would not raise prices to consumers during a speech to the Louisiana Legislature at the close of the 2006 Legislative Session in mid-June. Blanco said, "We invested in clean energy sources by enacting an ethanol bill. We did this to benefit our farmers and make us a leader in energy innovation. And we will do this without raising prices for consumers. Louisiana will be at the forefront of not only the oil industry, but also the emerging industry of alternative fuels."

I'm not going to go into my love affair with San Francisco (and its inhabitants, restaurants, bands). I'm not. But when the lights go down in the city, and the sun shines on the bay … do I wanna be there in my city? Oh ooh whoa. Whoa ohhh oh ooh whoa.
I'm slightly convinced that John Dwyer is insane (yet not as insane as I am for quoting Steve Perry). The leader of San Fran's Thee Oh Sees has taken every project he's been involved with to the far reaches and nether-regions of thee arty and thee unhinged. You never know quite what you're going to get. And live? Thee Oh Sees simply demolish. And Dwyer continues his prolific ways. The band released Castlemania in May, and are already gearing up for the forthcoming Carrion Crawler/The Dream on November 15 via In The Red.
The new single "Carrion Crawler" is relatively straight-forward compared to the creepy vibes of Castlemania. Dig in. Trip out. Get back. Go forward. Move ahead.
"Carrion Crawler" – Thee Oh Sees
Freshened up for The Fresh & Onlys
Monday, September 20th, 2010 | musiX | 1 Comment
I've been hibernating in my hyperbaric oxygen chamber since the closing minutes of MFNW, and I think I added a few years to my life in the process. For a few days I felt like I was 16 again, and only wanted to write about Ke$ha and Linkin Park—I had to smoke a pack of Camel Lights and drink a bottle of Crown Royal last night to snap out of it.
Which brings me to The Fresh & Onlys. San Francisco is a foggy little hotbed of rock that includes Sic Alps, Thee Oh Sees and Ty Segall, but The Fresh & Onlys have probably released more music—several 7-inches, two full-lengths—in the past two years than all those bands combined. And they don't appear to be slowing. The four-piece will release Play It Strange on October 12 on In The Red. Needless to say the lead single "Waterfall" is a garage rock twanger (that ends with a classic fade-out) that has me feeling my current age once again.

Hmm … very strange, boys
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 | musiX | No Comments
[Ed. Note: It's no secret to anyone that The Days of Lore loves The Strange Boys (I mean, unhealthy). The band's debut handily made the top spot on the TDoL 2009 year-end list. Sheesh, you think I'd have already written something on their latest record Be Brave. Well, I did for one of the publications that actually pays for my opinions on music. Since I hate repeating myself, here it is. Enjoy!]
0riginally published in the Chico News & Review, March 11, 2010
Last year Austin's The Strange Boys released their In The Red debut, a record that had more in common with rock 'n' roll's formative years than it did the label's garage-punk rock roster. It's been less than a year, and the Boys (and new girl, former Mika Miko saxophonist Jenna Thornhill-DeWitt) are already offering up album No. 2.
Be Brave lacks the sock-hop pop of And Girls Club, and instead sounds as if the band spent time hanging out in a smoke-filled back room with England's Newest Hitmakers. The more lackadaisical feel could be partly attributed to the absence of powerhouse drummer (and co-founder) Matt Hammer, who left the band last year. But what the new songs lack in energy they more than make up for in texture and intimacy. Ryan Sambol's voice creaks like an old rocking chair on more spare folk offerings like "All You Can Hide Inside" and "Dare I Say." And piano and organ fuel the record's boozy blues ("Between Us"), while sax rips through on the title track.
If anything, Be Brave shows that The Strange Boys are their own men/woman—which should make album No. 3 all the more interesting.

I welcome you to my page. I ask that you confirm all sources of information you take with you, as we are not the History creators, but the keepers of History if we collect our data correctly. To many times I have found information that is not documented with sources. To list this type of information ont he web is not responsible. Even if it is Oral Tradition in your family. Many times Oral Tradition has proved to be wrong. I advise one to stop listing on the internet where there documentation stops. You can tell other's through email your thoughts on how things might have been but to list things without proof you actually are changing history if you are wrong. Even if you are just a starting genealogist or a Novice, this is the only way to be responsible with our family legends. |

United Center
Attendance: 21,887
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Derrick Rose led all scorers with 28 points, as the Chicago Bulls handed the Indiana Pacers a seventh straight defeat, following a 104-95 win in a Central Division matchup at the United Center.
John Salmons made 3-of-4 three-pointers and added 17 points off the bench, while Luol Deng chipped in with 15 points and eight boards for the Bulls, who were coming off a 96-85 win over New Orleans on Saturday and have won four of their last six overall. Tyrus Thomas had a game-best 15 rebounds to go along with eight points.
"It's a long season," Deng said. "Every team still has a chance of making the playoffs. No team is really out, and that's how you've got to look at it."
Roy Hibbert had a team-high 17 points for Indiana, which has won only three of its last 17 games overall. Mike Dunleavy and Solomon Jones each ended with 13 points.
"We fell behind at the beginning," Hibbert said. "They hit some shots, we weren't able to hit some shots early. But the guys on the bench came ready to go in there and try to relieve some pressure. The guys on the bench did a good job, but ultimately we came up short."
Chicago grabbed a 34-15 lead after the opening 12 minutes, but the Pacers outscored the Bulls 38-23 in the second quarter and trailed by only a 57-53 margin at the half.
In the third, the Bulls continued to hold a slim lead in the early stages until Dunleavy hit a pair of three-pointers and three free-throws to put Indiana ahead 70-68 with a shade under seven minutes to play in the period.
Then with the Pacers up by a point a short time later, Salmons made a pair of a free-throws to ignite a 16-2 Chicago run to close the quarter and the Bulls held an 87-74 lead after three quarters.
Indiana was able to cut the deficit to nine, 97-88, following a Jones free throw with 4:32 to play. However, Rose responded by hitting back-to-back jumpers to make it 101-88 with 3 1/2 minutes left and the Bulls held on in the remaining time on the clock.

Dorothy Freudenberg – Painting a World of Metaphor with Pixels & Light
Freudenberg soon began working in layers and as her skills improved, she started constructing her pieces. Working from photos, pieces of graffiti she found on derelict walls, textures and bits of randomness, her photography changed to encompass gathering elements that would become part of art pieces. "I saw the world in a different light. I didn't stop looking at the whole but started collecting pieces like a kid going out with a little goody bag getting pine cones and pine needles," Freudenberg said.
"I'm still like that kid…I'm doodling and when something catches my eye, I open it up and it seems to create itself and I'm just facilitating. My hands move the objects around until they find their desired place."
Freudenberg calls her digital art a world of metaphor, emotion and expression. It can reveal her innermost thoughts and feelings with results that are as much painterly as photographic, "I am once more painting–this time with pixels and light."
The benefit to working on her laptop is the ability to take her entire art studio wherever she goes. Because she is a busy grandmother, the most consistent time Freudenberg can carve out for herself is in the late evenings, or even in the middle of the night.
Her spirit is one of continued exploration and experimentation and Freudenberg has only the limits of the imagination in which to create. "I am excited to have a tablet; some of the art that is coming off of those is very spontaneous, and I have been thinking of ways to use that and add a new element [to my art.]," said Freudenberg. "Another thing I would like to explore is actual painting on some of the layers of the pieces so that it becomes truly a mixed media."
Freudenberg is a fan of serendipity…when a postcard promoting the artists at Tumalo Art Co. came out for the November 4 art walk, her piece, At a Crossroads was presented next to Paul Alan Bennett's painting, Our Conversation Drifted…she was struck by the similarity in colors between her poppy and his sleeping figure and decided to collaborate on a digital piece which became Dreaming of Giant Poppies.
"It wasn't intentional, just a what if," said Freudenberg of her collaboration. "I am very open to ideas and images and people and environment. That is the key, being willing to take risks and try different things."
Her one challenge in creating digital art has been to find the appropriate market, "Because of the ease of this medium and the facility in which you can create, you wind up creating or going to forms of expression that are out of the box or unique or unusual and it is hard to find an audience sometimes because in any given area people have a certain type of art taste or a certain thing they want to see.
"I'm not interested in portraying the regional landscape so much as to express a state of mind or a thought process or some issue I'm working with or wrestling with and the medium is simply the metaphor for the process," said Freudenberg.
She has gotten an excellent reception when showing art in Portland and would ultimately like to exhibit in larger metropolitan areas on the West Coast.
Freudenberg is a member of the Tumalo Art Co. in the Old Mill, Don Terra in Sisters and Art Works in Tumalo. She will be the featured artist at Franklin Crossing in February and will also be showing work at the Partners in Care hospice facility in Bend.

text: Bravo!! We are getting there (the HIV- related Stigma and Discrimination, HRSD, free world). As long as we have the church fully involved, hopes of effective HIV prevention go high. My argument is cast within the stereotypes attached to the epidemic, that is, HIV is a result of Sin and more others... Ever since its outbreak, many people have been stigmatized due to HIV on religious grounds. We tend to look at an HIV positive person to have acquired the disease *ONLY* through immoral behaviours. This is absolutely * WRONG*, one can contract the disease after the church wedding. In such case, whom do we blame or who is supposed to be "stigmatised", any way do we know the partner that was initially positive??? I hope such forms of publications will be answering such dilemmas!!! As brothers and Sisters in front of God, we can end HRSD. THANK YOU.

Arcodoro, Dallas, Texas
Dallas , Texas
Tel: 214 871 1924
Concierge.com's insider take:
Sardinian cuisine in Dallas? You'd better believe it. Efisio and Francesco Farris import ingredients to create authentic Italian cuisine. They brag that Sardinian food is the simple food of the simple people there. The menu, however, does feature some dishes that are anything but simple, like handmade semolina dumplings with a ragù of braised baby lamb, or linguine with clams, tomatoes, garlic, and bottarga (the cured roe that's the specialty of Sardinia, nicknamed "Sardinian caviar"). A wood-fired pizza oven makes for a beautiful centerpiece; a bar area appeals to its fair share of attractive Dallasites. Arcodoro shares its space with Pomodoro, a more formal restaurant with a less relaxing ambience, also manned by the Farris brothers.
Open Tuesdays through Thursdays 11 am to 2 pm and 5:30 to 10 pm, Fridays 11 am to 2 pm and 5:30 to 11 pm, Saturdays 5:30 to 11 pm, and Sundays 5:30 to 10 pm.

Bury goalkeeper Rob Lainton has joined fellow League Two team Burton on a one-month loan deal.
The stopper, a free signing for the Shakers in the summer, started six games for the club in August before a shoulder injury saw him fall down the pecking order.
He has not featured for the club since those half-a-dozen appearances, with Bury boss David Flitcroft using Brian Jensen between the sticks with ex-Arsenal stopper Reice Charles-Cook as his back-up.
Lainton started for the Brewers against Morecambe on Saturday, keeping a clean sheet on his debut.

Amazing product, we are so happy!
perfect production
Postage Stamp Save the Date Postcards Great design that's simple, but stands out with its vintage character. Especially perfect for using smaller sized photos that cannot be enlarged. I loved the idea of the caption in the back. My fiancé and I chose a quotation that was meaningful to us, and it was a wonderful way to personalize the card and use that space in the back.

Resolving inconsistencies in trends in old-age disability: Report from a technical working group

Get AccessAbstract
In September 2002, a technical working group met to resolve previously published inconsistencies across national surveys in trends in activity limitations among the older population. The 12-person panel prepared estimates from five national data sets and investigated methodological sources of the inconsistencies among the population aged 70 and older from the early 1980s to 2001. Although the evidence was mixed for the 1980s and it is difficult to pinpoint when in the 1990s the decline began, during the mid- and late 1990s, the panel found consistent declines on the order of 1%–2.5% per year for two commonly used measures in the disability literature: difficulty with daily activities and help with daily activities. Mixed evidence was found for a third measure: the use of help or equipment with daily activities. The panel also found agreement across surveys that the proportion of older persons who receive help with bathing has declined at the same time as the proportion who use only equipment (but not personal care) to bathe has increased. In comparing findings across surveys, the panel found that the period, definition of disability, treatment of the institutionalized population, and age standardizing of results were important to consider. The implications of the findings for policy, national survey efforts, and further research are discussed.

Kelly Clarkson Debuts 'Mr. Know It All' [AUDIO]
The original "American Idol" Kelly Clarkson went live today on her website to debut her new single 'Mr. Know It All' and to answer fan questions. The singer admitted she was incredibly nervous to do her first webcast and was excited for her fans to finally hear the new song.
Kelly Clarkson Talks About Her New Single 'Mr. Know It All' [AUDIO]
Clarkson revealed she chose the song as the first single, because it was unlike the super guitar driven anthems she usually initially puts out. She added she loves that the song is super sassy and really showcases the message of strength that her upcoming album 'Stronger' represents.
Kelly says she is more confident than ever now and said her dream duets would be with Adele or country singer Miranda Lambert. She also revealed she and fellow 'Idol alum Chris Daughtry are dying to work together, but just haven't found the right song yet.
As far as tour plans, Clarkson says she hopes to be on the road in January to promote the album out October 25. 'Mr. Know It All' will be available for purchase starting September 5.
Listen to 'Mr. Know It All' below, follow along with the lyrics and let us know your thoughts!
Mr. Know It All
Well you think you know it all
But you don't know a thing at all
Ain't it something y'all
When somebody tells you something 'bout you
Think that they know more than you do
So you take it down, another pill to swallow Mr. Bring Me Down
Well you like to bring me down, don't ya?
But I ain't laying down
Baby I ain't going down
Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be
Nobody's gonna make a fool out of me
Babe, you should know that I lead, not follow
Oh you think that you know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely
'Cause babe, you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah, baby, you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
Mr. Play Your Games
Only got yourself to blame
When you want me back again
But I ain't fallin' back again
'Cause I'm living my truth without your lies
Let's be clear, baby – this is goodbye
I ain't comin' back tomorrow
So what, you've got the world at your feet
And you know everything about everything
But you don't
You still think I'm comin' back but baby, you'll see
Mr. Know It All
Well you think you know it all
But you don't know a thing at all
Yeah, baby, you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

On Campus
Greek Letters Grow in Numbers
Onward & Upward
AU's fraternity and sorority life community keeps on growing.
Under Student Activities' assistant director of fraternity and sorority life Curtis Burrill, these organizations have expanded their populations by 40% over the past five years.
"In eight years, we've had four hundred new members added to the community," he explains, looking further back into the community's growth. Currently, 1,255 students count themselves as members of a Greek letter organization, bringing the community's presence on campus to represent 19% of the student body.
To handle that uptick in numbers, the campus has welcomed new fraternities and sororities to establish chapters on campus. Just last spring, Lamba Chi Alpha launched with 30 founding fathers after a year-long selection process by AU's Interfraternity Council.
Now, the women's Panhellenic community is poised to welcome a new sorority in the spring, bringing their total to eight chapters.
"We haven't extended in twenty years," Burrill says of adding the new group. "So, it's pretty significant."
Just because the university is adding two groups, however, doesn't mean there aren't other national fraternities trying to get on campus.
"We have seven other men's groups that want to be here. We're a place [where] people want to be. There's no question there," says Burrill, who was recently named Greek Life Administrator of the Quarter by Tau Kappa Epsilon.
Right Place
While there's no question groups may want to be here, Burrill also thinks there's no question as to why they would want to be at AU.
"People see a real value in American University," he explains. "We're an academically rigorous institution. We enroll great students, our enrollment numbers keep going up, we're growing. We're in the nation's capital…We're putting our resources into the student experience. I don't think that goes unseen."
Rachel Jones is a Chi Omega sister who also heads AU's National Panhellenic Council Executive Board – the governing body that oversees sororities on campus. She believes the university's location strengthens the fraternity and sorority community on campus.
"There are so many different opportunities in DC, which is one of the reasons why I'm here. I think it's great and really enhances our community," she explains. "A lot of places you can go, and the sorority is the only thing you have. Here, every woman in the chapter does something [else]."
Jones also points out that the fraternity and sorority experience at AU connects students in the groups with a variety of perspectives and experiences on campus – something that, according to her, may be particular to AU.
"The biggest thing that makes us unique is that we do so many varied and diverse things. If you go to any chapter and look at the women in that chapter, you have people interning at fashion magazines, in entertainment and PR agencies, at law firms…people who may be pre-med," she says, currently herself pursuing an internship in with the law firm Patton Boggs.
This diverse set of members and their activities provides vast opportunities for networking – something heightened by the striking number of fraternity and sorority alumni living in the nation's capital.
Value Added
Whether in the groups' networking – which landed Jones her internship – their philanthropy work supporting specific charities, or their high academic standards, Burrill sees any number of explanations for AU's vibrant fraternity and sorority presence.
"People see the value in it," he says of the growth. "They see the GPAs being higher. They see the social side of it. They see the leadership development pieces of it. On this campus, it's very visible that we have a thriving Greek community here."
For all those reasons, it's a community that typifies what AU is all about, and it's one that students will continue to see the value in as it grows and welcomes new members to its ranks.
