Food for Thought: That Old Time Nutrition
by Jane Zastaury
Few people think of the Sonoran Desert as bountiful. The sun of southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico, is unrelenting, and apart from the odd summer monsoon and an inch or two of rain in midwinter, water is scarce. Yet the Sonoran has supplied Native peoples with sustenance for thousands of years.
Until the 1940s, the Tohono O'odham (formerly known as the Papago) and their cousins the Pima relied on foraged wild foods like mesquite pods, cactus fruit, and chiles for the bulk of their diet, with the rest coming from cultivated indigenous crops like corn, beans, and squash. Upon entering the American cash economy, however, the O'odham abandoned their agrarian heritage. Wild foods were replaced by processed junk, and the O'odham and Pima soon developed nutrition-related health problems--obesity, high blood pressure, and one of the highest rates of Type II diabetes in the world.
In the early 1980s, the Tucson branch of the nutrition program Meals for Millions set out to help the O'odham supplement their diet with homegrown vegetables like broccoli and tomatoes. While politely accepting the donated vegetables, the O'odham began asking for the seeds of foods they remembered from childhood: yellow-fleshed watermelon, striped sunflowers, fast-ripening corn, the fiery chiles called chiltepines--varieties that had all but died out after commercial foods became available.
The hunt for the heirloom varieties began. Word spread to other reservations in and around Arizona; seeds that had been lost in one area were found in another, and small pockets of cultivable wild plants, such as chiles, were rediscovered in hidden canyons and valleys. Native Seeds/SEARCH (Southwest Endangered Arid Lands Resources Clearinghouse) was born.
Once large numbers of O'odham began to return to a traditional diet, the health benefits afforded by indigenous crops became clear. Take the prickly pear, a common cactus. Its tender young paddles (nopalitos) are cooked with onions and chiles, while its fruit (tuna) is made into a sugary candy. Long a staple of indigenous peoples in Mexico, it had been largely relegated to ornamental status in the desert Southwest. But the O'odham found that prickly pear, filled with vitamins, minerals, and soluble fiber, is among the most healthful plants a diabetic can eat.
Fiber, the plant's way of absorbing and conserving water, is what makes desert plants a good choice. High-fiber foods slow the digestion and absorption of sugars in the body, and thus help to regulate blood glucose levels. Plant-based diets also help reduce cholesterol, a concern for non-insulin-dependent diabetics, who are generally overweight and at high risk for coronary heart disease. Among the O'odham, a diet high in desert plants has been found to radically slow and sometimes even reverse Type II diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol.
The fiber in some desert plants is found in the form of mucilage, a seed coating that becomes gelatinous when combined with liquid. Some mucilaginous seeds, such as chia, were traditionally used to make a refreshing drink, while plantago (also known as psyllium seed) provides the active ingredient in the fiber supplement Metamucil. Tepary beans, another desert food, are higher in protein than soybeans. And mesquite meal is sweet and nutritious; when used in baking, it partially substitutes for wheat flour, while also reducing the amount of sugar needed.
Native Seeds/SEARCH is now extending to other indigenous communities along the U.S./Mexico border. Its efforts go beyond demonstrating the health benefits of native foods: it also hopes to show that a return to the foods of the ancestors can be a source of self-sufficiency and pride.
Jane Zastaury is non-native to Tucson, where she enjoys growing native plants almost as much as eating them.
Native desert seed packets are available from Native Seeds/SEARCH free to Native Americans and, for a nominal cost, to other interested gardeners. Flours, teas, herbs, and spices are also available. Send $1 for a catalog to Native Seeds/SEARCH at 2509 N. Campbell Ave., #325, Tucson, AZ 85719.

A Quantitative Analysis of the Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Foreign Language Learning Reza Pishghadam
(email@example.com) Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran
Abstract The major aim of this study was to examine the role of emotional intelligence in second language learning. At the end of the academic year, 508 second year students at four universities in Iran were asked to complete the Emotional Intelligence Inventory (EQ-i). EQ-i data were matched with the students' academic records, scores in reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Predicting second language learning success from emotional intelligence variables produced divergent results, depending on how the variables were operationalized. When EQ-i variables were compared in groups (successful vs. unsuccessful) who had achieved very different levels of academic success and scores in different skills, second language learning was strongly associated with several dimensions of emotional intelligence. Results are discussed in the context of the importance of emotional intelligence in second language learning.
1 Introduction Learners vary enormously in how successful they are in learning a second language. All people acknowledge that some individuals learn a second language easily and some with more difficulty. Among so many factors contributing to second language learning success, including motivation, attitude or personality types, it seems that one important factor which accounts for success in language learning is the degree of intelligence that individuals possess. Since 1990, when for the first time emotional intelligence was introduced, it has become a buzzword in psychology and has been used in so many fields including education, management studies, and artificial intelligence. Daniel Goleman (1995), the...

Example : Sir J J college of architecture, Academy of architecture, L.s Raheja school of architecture, Kamla Raheja , Rizvi college of architecture Importance : It is very important as most architecture colleges of india are situated in maharashtra and some are the best. It is a very great opportunity specially for people of maharashtra. for others its important but no goverment seats are available and only few private seats. The applying process and admission process are very inconvenient. To collect application form we have go to the test centers located only in maharashtra and we have to give examination in those test centers later at some date and after that again we have to confirm our documents in those test centers so very big process for outsiders. Eligibility and Procedure : Official website: http://www.dte.org.in/arch/ details of admission criteria and procedure are given in admission brohcure and some links of previous years results are also available in the official website Study Method : No question papers are available as they are submitted along with the answerscript after exam. total marks 200 100 of drawing 100 of aptitude of 100 marks drawing three questions are asked : 1st is memory drawing. 2nd is to enlarge a drawing. aptitude: convert from 2d to 3d and vice versa. basically the exam checks your drawing skills,need to practice drawings very intensely and time is very less so good idea is to use water colours to enlarge drawing so that it is completed fast and the time has to be managed very nicely so that all questions could be attempted with adequate time.scoring in boards is also very important as in the final admission and result combined result of 50% cat and 50% boards is taken into account. last years information brochure contained some questions and other details of admission procedure. refer it for some help. download link : http://www.dte.org.in/arch2010/Architecture%20brochure%202010-11_web.pdf

The interview process was relaxing however I believe they have drastically changed their ways considering some of the newer staff that they have brought in (appearance/knowledge/work ethic). They also have resorted to an external hiring company which is so-so. It is very easy to get a job here but being good at the job is entirely different. Some education is necessary but having life experience is definitely key.

Big Bowdoin Weekend; Dec. 7-8
The weekend of December 7th and 8th brought big events for both the men and women of Bowdoin Squash. The women emerged from the Wesleyan Invitational with a 5-0 record while the men traveled to Willams to take on the Ephs and Trinty College.
The Bowdoin men showed the depth and grit that they are increasingly known for as they looked to reverse a decades-old series of defeats at the hooves of the purple cows. Bowdoin capitalized on their depth with wins from Doug Weeden, Chris Metcalfe, Grant White, and Captain George Hubbard at positions six through nine, respectively. Mike Fensterstock and Geordie MacLeod also provided wins in exhibition matches. Bruce Saltzman fell in four close games at the fourth position, bringing the score to 4-3 Bowdoin with two matches on court. Eric Toan looked strong at number five, leading 2-0 in games, while Jon Crowell was locked in a very even battle at number three. Toan could not hang on to the lead as his opponent wrested the match from his grips, and the loud Williams gallery focused attention on the number three match up, with the team scores even at 4-4. Crowell was up 2-1 heading into the fourth game, but could not withstand a late surge from Williams? Dan Bishop, who took the fourth and fifth, clinching the Ephs? 5-4 win. Bowdoin was very pleased with their wins in exhibition and the bottom half of the ladder. Close matches from Crowell, Saltzman, and Toan also looked promising for the Polar Bear?s efforts to exceed the expectations of higher-ranked opponents this season.
Wesleyan Invitational
Fueled entirely by Handi-Snacks and good old H2O, the Bowdoin women?s squash team emerged from the Wesleyan Invitational with a 5-0 record against Wesleyan, Hamilton, Mt. Holyoke, Wellesley, and St. Lawrence.
Hamilton 6-3
The Polar Bears opened the weekend with a battle against Hamilton on narrow hardball courts. Bowdoin picked up early wins from Seniors Merrill Muckerman, at the #2 position, and Lindy Stanley at #4. Both Muckerman and Stanley won in three games, as did Freshman #1 Elpiniki Clement, Senior #3 Whitney Hodgkins, and Junior #5 Eileen Schneider. The meat of the competition occurred in the 6th ? 9th positions, where each match was 4 or 5 games. Senior Rachel Rones lost a hard-fought match in the fourth game at #6, and Freshman Margaret Fuller displayed her energetic style in the 8th slot before falling in the fifth. The two most exciting matches of the morning belonged to Junior Melissa Miness at #7 and Freshman Molly Dorkey at #9, both were pushed to five games, Miness bringing home a win for her efforts and Dorkey letting her opponent narrowly escape 9-7 at the final frame.
St. Lawrence 8-1
Bowdoin and St. Lawrence entered their Dec. 7th match holding on to the #13 and #12 rankings in the country, and the Bowdoin win was a mild upset, but the 8-1 result was clearly reflective of the Polar Bears? level of intensity. Following the morning?s 6-3 scare at the hands of Hamilton, the Bowdoin players took nothing for granted as they approached St. Lawrence. The 8-1 win included decisive 3-0 wins from eight Bowdoin players. Muckerman played a powerful game on the way to a win over Gigi Tuten at the #2 position. Stanley, Fuller, and Senior Allson Allukian at #10 followed suit with 3-0 wins in the first round. Fuller produced a commanding victory, leaving her opponent scoreless over three games at #8. The second round brought 3-0 wins from Clement, Hodgkins, Schneider, Miness, and Dorkey.
Holyoke 8-1
Bowdoin defeated Mt. Holyoke 8-1 finishing out a successful first day at the Wesleyan Invite. Muckerman, Stanley, and Fuller led the charge with first round 3-0 wins at the 2nd, 4th and 8th positions respectively. The 3rd position was dominated by a fierce Whitney Hodgkins, who dropped only two points on the match. The 4-0 Bowdoin lead was followed by a 3-0 win from Schneider at #5. Miness closed out a four-game match at #7 before the crowds gathered at the five-gamers waging on in the #1 and #9 slots. Clement came back from a 1-2 deficit to take Holyoke?s Liz Hughes 9-1 in the fourth game and 9-3 in the fifth, closing out the #1 match and staying undefeated at 7-0 for the season. The gallery quickly filled in at the #9 match up where Molly Dorkey, another well-hydrated P. Bear, pulled out a W in the fifth to finish out the Polar Bears?s 8-1 final score.
Wesleyan 7-2
Bowdoin entered the second day of matches with the energy, power, and hydration capacity of a herd of water buffalo. The girls in Black drew on their success in all three matches Sunday to spark the intensity. All ten proud Polar Bears came out on the offensive against Wesleyan at 9:00 am, and Wellesley immediately following. The tone was set early in the morning as Stanley dispatched her opponent at the #4 spot, dropping only two points on the match. Muckerman quickly joined her in the winner?s circle, leaving her Wesleyan opponement at #2 with only four points. At #8 Margaret Fuller hung onto the first game against a strong opponent, taking it 10-9, before forcing a fifth game with a commanding 9-1 resurrection in the fourth. Fuller, always a model of composure, built on her momentum, winning the fifth 9-2. At the #10 exhibition spot, Molly Dorkey came back from a defeat in the first game to sweep the remaining games and take the match 3-1. As the even numbers wrapped up, Bowdoin reloaded in the 5 remaining matches. Freshman ringer Niki Clement joined senor Co-Captain Whitney Hodgkins with identical scores at #1 and #3. Both dropped just two points in the first game before blanking their opponents 9-0, 9-0 to close out strong. To round out Bowdoin?s 7-2 win, Schneider and Rones produced 3-0 wins at #5 and #7, respectively.
Wellesley 5-4
The final battle of the weekend was a re-match of Bowdoin?s 1-8 loss to Wellesley on Sunday at the 2002 Nationals. Veterans were eager to avenge the defeat and the determination was evident as Bowdoin picked up the top five matches without losing a game. The match started off with Merrill Muckerman?s elegant match at the #2 slot, where she gave up only one point. Lindy Stanley followed, taking Caroline Connor 3-0 in the 4th position. The second round of matches brought two battles further down the ladder, as Molly Dorkey pushed her #9 match to five games, and Rachel Rones battled on to 9-9 in the fourth before succumbing at #7. Eileen Schneider, Whitney Hodgkins, and Niki Clement swept up quickly at #s 5, 3, and 1 to clinch the 5-4 win for Bowdoin.
The victory celebration was long awaited, as the Bowdon Women have gone over two seasons since going truly undefeated at a weekend round robin. Number one player Niki Clement remains undefeated while the girls in black improve to 8-1 for the season.

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin junior field hockey players Kate Leonard (Eliot, Maine) and Taryn King (Georgetown, Mass.) have been named First-Team All-Americans in selections announced by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association on Monday. In addition, senior Margaret Gormley (Chestnut Hill, Mass.) was named as a Second-Team All-American. Bowdoin posted the best season in the history of the program with an 18-1 record, a NESCAC Championship and the team's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Semifinals.
Leonard, King and Gormley were also recognized last week as First-Team All-New England selections. In addition, senior Christi Gannon (Boston, Mass.) and sophomore Valerie Young (Concord, N.H.) were recognized as Second-Team All-New England choices.
King, who was honored as the NESCAC Player of the Year earlier this season, collects her first First-Team All-American selection after being named a Second-Team All-American last season. A dominating two-way player at midfield, King finished second on the team with 25 points, scoring eight goals and adding nine assists.
Leonard was a stalwart in goal this season for Bowdoin, allowing more than one goal in a game just once. A First-Team All-NESCAC selection, Leonard carded six shutouts this year and allowed just 10 goals to post a microscopic 0.54 goals-against-average.
Margaret Gormley was a Second-Team All-American choice after garnering First-Team NESCAC and New England honors. An outstanding defender, Gormley was also an offensive presence this season, playing the point on Bowdoin corners. She tallied a career-high seven goals and five assists and scored Bowdoin's lone goal in Bowdoin's NCAA Semifinal loss to Messiah.
Gannon and Young grabbed Second-Team All-New England honors in selections announced last week. Gannon concluded her career with another strong offensive campaign, scoring seven goals with eight assists. She finishes her time at Bowdoin with 27 goals, placing her eighth all-time at the school. Young, also a Second-Team All-NESCAC selection, had a breakout sophomore season in anchoring the solid Polar Bear defense, starting all 19 games this year.

Political Animal
Since Mitt Romney has decided, for reasons that are a bit obscure, to make foreign policy a major focus of his campaign at this sensitive moment of the presidential contest, it's time once again to note a rather jarring contradiction nestled in the center of his and his party's policies and rhetoric. It's nicely presented once again in a Wall Street Journal op-ed signed by the Republican nominee himself.
It begins with the usual "American exceptionalism" rap: the world is safe if the United States not only walks tall, but walks alone in its status as the source of all virtue and power:
Since World War II, America has been the leader of the Free World. We're unique in having earned that role not through conquest but through promoting human rights, free markets and the rule of law. We ally ourselves with like-minded countries, expand prosperity through trade and keep the peace by maintaining a military second to none.
But Obama doesn't get it, and isn't maintaining our towering-colossus position:
President Obama has allowed our leadership to atrophy. Our economy is stuck in a "recovery" that barely deserves the name. Our national debt has risen to record levels. Our military, tested by a decade of war, is facing devastating cuts thanks to the budgetary games played by the White House. Finally, our values have been misapplied—and misunderstood—by a president who thinks that weakness will win favor with our adversaries.
But what is the supreme example of Obama's "weakness" and refusal to keep the United States the world's sole supremely sovereign super-power? Refusing to outsource our Middle Eastern policy to Bibi Netanyahu:
The president began his term with the explicit policy of creating "daylight" between our two countries. He recently downgraded Israel from being our "closest ally" in the Middle East to being only "one of our closest allies." It's a diplomatic message that will be received clearly by Israel and its adversaries alike. He dismissed Israel's concerns about Iran as mere "noise" that he prefers to "block out." And at a time when Israel needs America to stand with it, he declined to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In this period of uncertainty, we need to apply a coherent strategy of supporting our partners in the Middle East—that is, both governments and individuals who share our values.
So the first step Romney urges is "placing no daylight between the United States and Israel." And that clearly includes a shift in U.S. policy towards Iran away from opposition to acquisition of nuclear weapons to the "red line" Netanyahu is demanding, acquisition of "nuclear capability," which because of the vague nature of the definition of "capability," means a pre-justification for military action against Tehran any old time now.
Put aside for a moment the arguments about Iran's ultimate intentions and its alleged historically unique indifference to nuclear deterrence, or about the actual balance of military power in the Middle East. Forget if you can the calamitous consequences, not only to regional peace and stability, but to the U.S. and global economies, of war with Iran.
Think about this: Mitt Romney is running for president on a platform of indistinguishable and conjoined exceptionalism for the U.S. and Israel. And because Israel faces a vastly greater military threat, this means America would abandon its own independence of action and consign its fate to Bibi Netanyahu, a man whose views on peace and security are highly controversial in Israel itself.
Republican foreign policy thinking has had to go through a lot of twists and turns to arrive at this extraordinarily anomalous place. But the bottom line seems to be remarkably similar to the one embraced twelve years ago by George W. Bush and his advisors, who took office determined to wage war with Iraq, despite the cover of all the middle-school bully-boy talk of preventing war by plotting it constantly.
If Romney wins and the United States supinely follows Bibi into yet another, and this time vastly more dangerous, Gulf war, nobody can say we were not warned.
I did not vote for Bibi Netanyahu and I don't want him setting US foreign policy.
Israel is suffering through an infestation of Neo Cons. I know what that feels like and will wait patiently until they are better.
I don't blame all of Israel for their infestation; I do not feel I was to blame for Bush.
"American Exceptionalism" is right-wing code for "American Dictatorship of the World". They love democracy and freedom, but only for propertied white men in certain parts of North America. Clearly evident by their howls of protest any time a nation elects it own leaders whose policies are opposed to American hegemony.
He'll have to start a draft, or else there won't be enough of those toy US Soldiers he forgets to thank to police the planet.
Can continued recovery happen under the budget of yet another war?
Since World War II, America has been the leader of the Free World. We�re unique in having earned that role not through conquest but through promoting human rights, free markets and the rule of law. We ally ourselves with like-minded countries, expand prosperity through trade and keep the peace by maintaining a military second to none.
On what freaking planet? Since WWII how many dictators have we supports, governments have we over thrown, economies we have crippled, civilians we have killed and countries we have invaded?
We are only exceptional in that we have convinced ourselves we don't do any of that.
Satisfactory killeon as Captcha so accurately describes it.
Romney's op-ed is the type of rhetoric that reinforces the idea that Jews rule the media and Washington. The problem is that the very people Republicans pander to are the same ones most likely to broaden that concept to general antisemitism.
Of course, Romney also believes that there is nothing we can do about the Israel/Arab conflict anyway. Talk about leading from behind.
What Mitt knows about foreign policy would fit on the back of a cocktail napkin � with plenty of room left over for his economic policy:
Foreign policy � STRUT & STOMP!
Economic policy � Tax Cuts For Rich/Deregulate/Screw Everyone Else.
In case anyone missed this yesterday, Chris Wallace asked Paulie-boy how Romney�s economic plan would work.Paulie said it was revenue-neutral.
When Wallace asked how, Ryan dodged by saying it would take too long, and that there�s not enough time, but there would be tax cuts for all! (Sadly, he didn�t mention unicorns, ponies, kitties, or puppies).Paulie-boy, not enough time to explain the plan?
Time is the problem?
Dude, you�re on FOX �News� � it�s a 24 X 7 X 365 propaganda outfit for you and Mittens!!!
How is there not enough time to explain the plan?
If you actually had one � or one that you cared to explain.But you can�t now, can you? That would scare Joe and Jane Sixpack, their lil� chillin�s, and Granmama and Grandpawpaw.
Israel is NOT suffering from the neo-cons. Israel is suffering from the invasion of the Russian and eastern european jews in 1989 and after. It's easy to see this date as the hardening of positions - as the russian jews came to Israel, they clearly decided that they were not going to be put in the ghetto again, and this has led to an enormously difficult position for the Palestinians.
We should not listen to Netanyahu. He is telling us false things.
Romney as president scares the living daylights out of me. He is not a rational man (his wife even said she feared for his mental well being if he is elected) and given his intense religiosity, one wonders if he would really care if he inaugurated a world wide apocalypse. After all, after he died, he'd get a whole planet to rule, no sweat.
"Since World War II, America has been the leader of the Free World. We�re unique in having earned that role not through conquest but through promoting human rights, free markets and the rule of law."
Before WWII we were a backward nation, with a third rate army.
Due to LUCK (two oceans and abundant natural resources) we became the arsenal of Democracy, and when the rest of the planet finished destroying itself we were the "Last Man Standing".
But, Romney is not much interested in history- just how big his latest bank balance is.
It is truly astonishing to me that Democrats are not making lots of loud noises about the radical shift the Republican Party made during the Bush administration when they went all in with Cheney and the neocons.
A bunch of people who lie and torture their way into war resulting in 100,000 or so dead Iraqis, and no one says boo?
I hope at least Elizabeth Warren talks about this tonight. She has started on the theme that a vote for Brown is a vote for the Republican party.
Obama's comment, at the convention, about Romney being stuck in the cold war sums it up. His world view is dangerously retro and unrealistic. Day suggested the US, at the end of WWII, was "The Last Man Standing" - no longer. The neo-con philosophy is the most rapid path to our own 3rd world status.
Bibi NutAndYahoo has been telling us for 30 years that Iran is going to have nuclear weapons in 6 months to a year. That RawMoney wants to tie himself to the neocons, AIPAC, The Likud Party, and Benny NutAndYahoo is abundant reason that he MUST NOT be elected president.
Since Romney is the talking head for the mega-corporations of which the military suppliers play a prominent role we can expect another one or two small controlled military actions. They learned their lesson with Vietnam and Iraq - no more real wars, just little actions that we can win quickly. No armageddon, it is bad for business.
We�re unique in having earned that role not through conquest but through promoting human rights,
How he can even SAY that after 10 years of wars that devastated two countries, it's shocking he isn't struck by lightning.
THe scariest thing about Romney, for me, was his insistence, while visiting with Bibi, that there should be no "daylight" between US and Israeli policy. As the article implies, this essentially makes Netanyahu US Secretary of State in a Romney administration.
Are we blind to the fact that Obama has said he will do anything to keep Iran from getting a nuclear bomb?
Romney has added not one thing to the Republican argument of the last thirty years: Democrats will raise your taxes and give your money to the [insert racist epithet] and Democrats are wimps on foreign policy. (For some reason, the part about Democrats letting all the criminals go free has fallen by the wayside.)
Before the campaign even began, Romney knew he would be making the Democrats are wimps argument. He has just been thrashing around looking for some semblance of a fact he can use to attach to the argument. He's got nothing, so he goes with Israel. Why? Because there is no bottom to that well.
Where have I heard this before?
I think Romney is having a Senor moment.
This retro NeoCon crap is soooooo 1999. We currently have a modern foreign policy being conducted by an outstanding President assisted by an able Vice President and a brilliant Secretary of State and a whole team of professionals. I don't want to go back to the foreign policy of Darth Vader and the American empire.
Right now, the Israeli Defense Minister, the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Armed Forces and the heads and former of the Mossad are publicly on the record that Nitwityahoo is nuts with his desire for war with Iran, which only Nitwityahoo and his far right political allies are in favor of.
It's interesting the "Homeland" has chosen to use the storyline of what happens in the aftermath of the Israeli strike on Iran as their premise for the new season.

The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) has selected Deborah Wexler, founder and executive director of the Immunization Action Coalition (IAC), to receive 2012 APhA Immunization Champion Award — Friend of Pharmacy.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) has selected Deborah Wexler, founder and executive director of the Immunization Action Coalition (IAC), to receive 2012 APhA Immunization Champion Award — Friend of Pharmacy.
APhA said Wednesday that Wexler will be recognized during a special awards ceremony at the APhA Annual Meeting and Exposition in New Orleans on March 11.
The Friend of Pharmacy Award, part of APhA's Immunization Champion Awards program, honors a nonpharmacist who has supported, facilitated or advocated for pharmacists' role in immunizations.
"Dr. Wexler has been a long-time advocate and collaborator with the pharmacy profession and association, recognizing the important public health role pharmacists can and do play in addressing our nation's immunization delivery system puzzle," Mitch Rothholz, chief strategy officer of the APhA, said in a statement. "She has recognized and educated others regarding the profession's accessibility, knowledge and skills. Pharmacies are located where people live, and their extended hours and reach complement the efforts of other immunization stakeholders. Dr. Wexler is a strong supporter of inclusive coalitions that utilize the contributions of all participants, including pharmacists."
APhA added that the award also is being given to Dr. Wexler in recognition of her work as the executive director of IAC. The association noted that the IAC website (www.immunize.org) provides invaluable support and information to immunizers from various practice settings nationwide. APhA said it uses IAC's materials in its Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery certificate training program and immunizing pharmacist listserv.
In addition, Wexler is a frequent collaborator with APhA on immunization projects and "a vocal advocate for the expansion of pharmacists' immunization role across the lifespan and the value of collaboration involving all stakeholders," the association stated.
"I am consistently impressed by the dedication of pharmacists — medical professionals who are found on corners in every community in America — reaching out and helping to prevent disease by offering immunizations," Wexler commented. "I am delighted to be recognized as a friend of pharmacists in their important immunization work."

Like many Team Titleist members, Titleist Brand Ambassador Zach Johnson is starting the new year with a new driver.When Zach steps to the first tee at 12:20 p.m. local time Thursday at Kapalua's Plantation Course for the first round of the 2011 PGA Tour season, in his hands will be a Titleist Pro V1x golf ball and a new Titleist 910D2 driver, which he will be using at this week's Hyundai Tournament of Champions for the first time in competition.
Over the last few months, Zach has spent a lot of time working with the new 910 driver, many times with a Titleist Tour Rep standing behind him checking the vitals on the TrackMan launch monitor. On Monday of BMW Championship week last summer, he could be found on the Cog Hill driving range testing the new driver, just an hour or so after it was announced that he had been selected as a captain's pick for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.Not to be considered a tinkerer, Zach for years has used a Titleist 909D2 8.5, bent to about 9.5, with a Mitsubishi Diamana Blue 73 shaft.This week, he will play a Titleist 910D2 8.5 driver with the same Mitsubishi Diamana Blue 73 shaft and his SureFit Tour (SFT) hosel in the A•1 setting (standard loft, standard lie).Team Titleist caught up with Zach yesterday on the driving range at Kapalua to talk about his new driver along with the rest of his Titleist equipment (and a few other necessities).Check out the video below to see what Zach had to say.
2011 Johnson Zach WITB 010611.flv
Here's a closer look at Johnson's Titleist equipment:Ball: Titleist Pro V1xDriver: 910D2 8.5, A•1 SFT setting (Diamana Blue 73)Fairway: 909F2 13.5 (Diamana White 73)Fairway: 909F2 18.5 (ZCOM Pro95 Fairway for Titleist)Hybrid: 909H 21.0 (Speeder 904HB) Irons (4): AP1 (True Temper Dynamic Gold)Irons (5-9): AP2 (True Temper Dynamic Gold)Wedges (48.06, 54.12, 60V): Vokey Design Spin Milled (True Temper Dynamic Gold)

Very nice video! Thanks a lot. Wish you could add more videos of what the Titleist staffers really have in their bags.

Awesome stuff. I, as well, have noticed the new drivers "seem" to launch the ball a smidge higher.

What does he putt with ?
Al N wrote on January 7, 2011 at 11:20AM
why do you have an 8.5 when you bend it to 9.5?
Titleist33 wrote on January 7, 2011 at 4:46PM
Like Zach's set up. His descriptions of all his choices is the best by far.
Deno wrote on January 8, 2011 at 12:20PM
Good luck this year Zack! I live about 45 minutes north of Cedar Rapids, keep making us Iowa boys proud!
Titleist33 wrote on January 9, 2011 at 6:40PM
what's with the ap1? That's a beginners club!
Titleist33 wrote on January 21, 2011 at 1:22AM
I agree the new 910 is longer, I hit the 907 D2 8.5 before switching to 910 D3 8.5 Rip shaft with A1 setting honestly 15 yards longer.
Titleist33 wrote on February 21, 2011 at 1:44AM
Like the sticks and the ball marker. Did a great job explaining his set up. Wish him luck in 2011. Titleist needs more of this...interesting!
Titleist33 wrote on February 21, 2011 at 10:13PM
i have been a callaway customer for years but have a junior son and purchased AP2 irons and Vokey wedges last year and he loves them. So this year i purchased Vokey wedges for myself, too cold outside to play golf still but am excited to play new wedges and if satisfied will purchase new irons next. Love hearing comments from respected Tour Pros, especially when started from a local IOWA man.

Brown-Sugar Pastry:
- 1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon(s) packed brown sugar
- 1/2 stick(s) (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter or margarine
- 2 tablespoon(s) solid vegetable shortening
- 3 tablespoon(s) cold water
Pear-Nutmeg Filling:
- 1.5 pound(s) unpeeled ripe yellow or red Bartlett or Bosc pears, quartered, cored and cut in 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 3/4 cup(s) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup(s) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg
- 1/3 cup(s) apple or red currant jelly
- Have ready a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom.
- To make pastry in food processor: Process flour, sugar, butter and shortening with short pulses until mixture resembles small peas. Add water and pulse just until blended. Remove blade, then pastry. Press together with hands or a rubber spatula. By hand: Mix flour and sugar in a medium bowl. Cut in butter and shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles small peas. Sprinkle with water and stir gently with a fork just until pastry clumps together.
- Gather pastry into a ball, then press into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll out, about 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out pastry to an 11-inch circle. Center over tart pan and gently press over bottom and up sides. Trim any excess. Place in freezer 10 minutes until very firm. Heat oven to 400°F.
- Prick bottom and sides of pastry with a fork. Press a 12-inch piece of foil snugly into tart shell. Bake 15 minutes, then carefully remove foil. Bake 8 to 10 minutes longer until pastry is very lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- Filling: Arrange pear slices, slightly overlapping and with wider ends toward edge, pinwheel fashion around tart. Cut remaining pear slices in 1-inch pieces and pile in the center.
- Whisk remaining filling ingredients in a bowl until well blended. Carefully pour over pears.
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes until filling is set and pick inserted near center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack.
- Stir jelly in a small pan over low heat until melted or melt in microwave. Brush on entire surface of tart. Cool to room temperature. To remove tart pan sides, place pan on a small, sturdy bowl and let sides fall. Refrigerate tart up to 8 hours until ready to serve. (Longer refrigeration may cause pears to release liquid.)

Venues in Stanislaus County, California (516)Stanislaus County is a county located in the Central Valley of the U.S. state of California. As the price of housing has increased in the San Francisco Bay Area, many people who work in the southern reaches of the Bay Area have opted for the longer commute and moved to Stanislaus County for the relatively affordable housing. As of the 2010 census, the population was 514,453 up from 446,997 at the 2000 census. The county seat is Modesto. Stanislaus County is included in the Modesto Metropolitan Statistical Area.

History of Stanislaus CountyThe county is named for the Stanislaus River, first discovered by a European, Gabriel Moraga, in 1806, and later renamed Rio Estanislao in honor of Estanislao, a mission-educated renegade Native American chief who led a band of Indians in a series of battles against Mexican troops until finally being defeated by General Mariano Vallejo in 1826. Estanislao was his baptismal name, the Spanish rendition of Stanislaus, itself the Latin rendition of the name of an 11th century Polish Catholic Saint Stanislaus the Martyr. Between 1843 and 1846 when California was a province of independent Mexico, five Mexican land grants of a total of 113,135 acres (457.8 km), or over forty-four square miles were granted in Stanislaus County. Rancho Orestimba y Las Garzas, Rancho Pescadero and Rancho Del Puerto were located on the west side of the San Joaquin River. Rancho Del Rio Estanislao and Rancho Thompson were on the north side of the Stanislaus River. Additionally in 1844, Salomon Pico received a Mexican land grant of 58,000 acres (230 km) in the San Joaquin Valley, somewhere near the Stanislaus River and the San Joaquin River in what is now Stanislaus County. However the grant was never confirmed by the Land Commission. Stanislaus County was formed from part of Tuolumne County in 1854. There is a somewhat lively local debate as to the proper pronunciation of the name Stanislaus. Some residents pronounce it STAN-?s-läw, with no final S. This is no doubt influenced by the Spanish form Estanislao and further reinforced by the fact that the San Joaquin Valley was settled by immigrants from the southern states following the Civil War, and the southern dialect tends to soften all trailing consonants. Despite this, the silent final S has never been universal, and other ethnic and historical influences tend to argue against it. Several towns within Stanislaus and neighboring counties along the Stanislaus River, including Turlock, Valley Home, and Ripon, were founded and settled by immigrants from Dutch-, German-, and Danish-speaking regions where Stanislaus is a traditional men's given name (and like Estanislao, a variation of Stanley). The German-derived pronunciation, STAN-?s-l?ss, maintains the trailing S (and also puts a bit more emphasis on the second syllable). At any rate, unaware of the name's complex local history, most outsiders and new residents pronounce Stanislaus with the final S, which is arguably the more phonetically intuitive method, but both pronunciations are considered acceptable.

Hey, I've got a Kahr P40 and an Mk9.
The .40 is the first handgun I've ever owned. It said in the manual to only field strip the gun for regular cleaning, and leave the rest for the gunsmiths. Well, at a training course I took out of town the gun stopped shooting. I said to hell with the manual and took it down to the little pieces.
Come to find out, there was quite the buildup of what looked like brass shavings inside the tunnel where the striker travels, and stuck to the striker itself. All that metal fouling was preventing the striker from coming into contact with the primer of the cartridge in the chamber.
I can see now that the open design of that part of the pistol will allow metal shavings and other grit into where the striker resides, causing a possible failure. Sure, it took nearly 2000 rounds for it to happen to me, but the message was clear: break it down all the way every time.
I took apart the mk9 which has more like 800 rounds through it now, and found only minimal contamination in that area, so I realize if you do this only every 500 rounds or so you are probably okay. But I don't want to take the chance that somehow during that last 200 rounds at the range, something snuck in there that will prevent it from running properly in a SD situation when my life depends on it.
From the other Kahr owners, have you noticed the same kind of problem? Do you break yours down all the way frequendly for cleaning? What about the other guns like Glocks? I know of Glocks that run for thousands of rounds without even a cleaning that work just fine. Are they designed differently to prevent this?

Al Qaeda weapons ship docks in Aden
According to a local Yemeni newspaper, on April 11 al Qaeda militants sailed a ship loaded with weapons into the country's southern port in Aden. Clashes erupted between the militants and security personel from the Yemeni anti-smuggling unit when the ship docked in Aden and the militants began offloading the weapons. The militants violently engaged the security personnel and then managed to escape by reboarding the ship and setting sail.
Boats belonging to the Yemeni coast guard and navy attempted to follow the ship but apparently lost its trail. According to sources, two militants were killed by Yemeni security forces; it is unclear whether they were killed in the initial clashes at the port of Aden or during the maritime chase.
Two days earlier, on April 9, the Yemeni Interior Ministry had warned in a memo to security services in the coastal provinces that a ship belong to al Qaeda thought to be carrying weapons had departed Djibouti the night before. At the time it was believed that the ship was headed to one of Yemen's ports and was manned by militants hailing from Yemen's eastern Hadramout province.
In related news, on April 12 one Yemeni soldier was killed and another injured when militants attacked a vehicle carrying military salaries in the city of Tarim in central Hadramout. After what eyewitnesses described as an ambush by al Qaeda militants, fighting broke out between the soldiers in the car and the attackers.
During the Arab Spring protests against the rule of former president Ali Abdallah Saleh in 2011-2012, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) took advantage of turmoil in the country to seize control of vast areas in Yemen's south, including Hadramout. Although the Yemeni military launched a successful counteroffensive to recapture territory back from the terrorist organization in mid-2012, AQAP's networks and militants have not been completely cleared from those areas and are known to operate in Hadramout and other southern provinces.

Seems like a drone could find an elusive ship.

Why haven't we sent planes after this ship to sink it with all onboard? Or is that in the works?

Urinary Tract Infection Urinary tract infection is a common condition that arises when there is an infection caused by bacteria. The infection usually starts in the urethra and then travels up to the bladder and other parts of the urinary tract. There is a burning feeling when urinating and an increased frequency of urination. The condition is more common in females, as the urethra is smaller (becomes infected more easily) and near the anus (a source of contamination). Also some conditions like diabetes, bowel incontinence, kidney stones, immobility, reduced intake of fluids, and pregnancy can contribute to urinary tract infection.
Home Remedies:
Diet and Lifestyle: Avoid intake of hot, oily, spicy, sour, salty, and bitter foods. Increase intake of liquids in the form of water, juices, coconut water, and other cooling drinks. Increase intake of pitta-pacifying herbs like green cardamom, coriander, red sandalwood, licorice root, etc. Avoid working in the sun or in a hot atmosphere such as near furnaces and boilers. Take a cold-water bath 2-3 times a day with ½ teaspoon of powdered red sandalwood added to the water.

How does QWebKit play a flash?
Page |
1 |
Hi guys,
I am using Qt 4.7.1 and hope to use QWebView to open a web site that has some flash source files.
My code like this:
- webView->show();
The above code can work on Windows. But, on Mac, I see some icons(a box with a question mark on it). Obviously, it is failed to load the plug-in. However, as the matter of fact, I installed the plug-in in "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin". And, I can open this website with Safari/Firefox on Mac OS. By the way, my Mac is iMac and OS is 10.6.6.
I don't know what is wrong in my code. Could you give me some help? Thank you so much. – Frank
EDIT: added @ tag (vcsala)

Hi Frank,
I had a similar problem recently. My issue was that I was running my app as 64-bit and the flash plugin is 32-bit, so they cannot interact.
I'm using Python and PyQt, so my solution is probably different to yours, but you'll need to make sure your application compiles as 32-bit and possibly Qt as well (although this may have been compiled to support both architectures)
Hope this helps,
Hi Rory,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, my application is 64bit. The installed flash plug-in is 32bit. I guess that it could be the reason. But, my application must run as 64bit. So, :-(.
However, my Safari is 64bit. Why can it play flash? I searched this question on Internet. Some people think that I should lunch WebKitPluginHost.app. Through this host application, access 32bit flash plugin. Your idea? And, how do I lunch it in Qt? Could you help me? Thank you so much. Maybe, I should install a 64bit flash plugin. But, I don't search it on Internet. Does flash plugin have 64bit version?
- Frank
I gdb my application. There is the error:
Error loading /Library/Internet
Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player:
dlopen(/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Flash
Player, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player:
no matching architecture in universal wrapper
Hi Frank,
As far as I know, there is no version of flash for 64-bit architectures.
I don't know what the solution to your problem is if you can't compile your app as 32-bit. But you're right, Safari is able to overcome this issue so it must be possible.
Using a 32-bit host app to run the flash plugin certainly sounds like a possibility, but I don't have any experience using this. Sorry.
Good luck,
There is preview version of 64bit adobe-flash and it works fine on linux.
Hi Rory,
Thanks for this quick response. When build my application as 32bit, a flash can be shown. But unfortunately, my application must be 64bit. Ooops…
Hi Tomma,
Thanks for your response. In fact, I installed this version of flash plug-in from "http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_mac_111710.dmg". But, you can see that this plug-in still be 32bit, when use nm command to check its information(nm /Users/frank/Desktop/Test/fancybrowser/build/Debug/fancybrowser.app/Contents/MacOS/fancybrowser -arch x86_64). So, even if install this version of flash plug-in, a flash can not be shown, yet.
Hi Rory and Tomma,
Is there other way to show flash in Qt except for QtWebKit? Today, I will try Phonon library. Hope to see any progress. Thank guys.
I resolved this problem. The solution just is to invoke a 32bit process(in fact, it is a application) to play a flash while a 64bit application executes. So far, everything is OK. By the way, I don't use WebKitPluginHost.app. :-)
Generally, I expect that Adobe can release early 64bit flash plug-in. After all, it is a real way.

July, 1959 article about the effects of CO2 and Climate Change
Bill McKibben and 350.org produced this compelling video.
What Climate Change means to us
Recent polls show that over 61 percent of Americans are now convinced that human caused global warming is a serious threat, up from 49 percent in 1997 (link to poll). This is in spite of the millions of dollars the fossil fuel industry funnels through neo-conservative think tanks like the Heartland Institute and the George C. Marshall Institute, to name a few, trying to convince people that climate change is a hoax.
Its easy to get bogged down in scientific minutia trying to sort it all out, but there is only one statistic that you need to follow: CO2 levels in the atmosphere. CO2 concentration in the atmosphere drives weather events. The concept is very basic. The higher the CO2 levels in the atmosphere, the hotter the atmosphere gets. The hotter the atmosphere gets, the more moisture the atmosphere wicks up from the oceans and the earth. The more moisture in the atmosphere, the more moisture comes down in a storm event causing much more extreme storms than usual. (add diargram or chart with link)
The fact that some parts of the earth suffer severe droughts while others suffer severe floods isnt all that confusing when you look at it from a global perspective. When the continuously heating atmosphere wicks up moisture from areas of land, it dries those areas out causing droughts and the upper air currents drive that moisture to different parts of the planet where it gets dumped in extreme storm events. If the weather in that area is cold it will result in an extreme snow event, if it is warm it will result in rain and floods.
Ice core sampling of glaciers show that the natural CO2 average over 800,000 years hovered around 280 parts per million (PPM). About 120 years ago, at the advent of the industrial revolution, CO2 started increasing. Scientists measure CO2 from burning fossil fuels being pumped into the atmosphere globally at a rate of 90 million tons every 24 hours. Today, the mean CO2 level is 395 PPM. (source NOAA: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/) That is a frightening 115 PPM higher than any time in the last 800,000 years and it is heating up the atmosphere and causing extreme weather events around the planet. In addition, last year, 2012, eighty percent of the arctic ice cap completely melted, something never before witnessed by humanity. (add image of shrinking ice caps, and link)
In any case, CO2 levels are the most important concern. We have got to stop burning fossil fuels, and scientist say, get CO2 levels down to at least 350 PPM if we want to survive as a species on this planet. So far weve done nothing meaningful about it.
Its important to keep a vigilant eye and even more important to get involved in doing something about it.

"Avocado Green," explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. "And Harvest Gold."
Those were the colors of the 70's, with a nice helping of brown. "It was all so pervasive in that time," Eiseman says – without derision, notably.
In the early eighties, the dominant color scheme was mauve, gray, and turquoise. Back then, color trends were virtually "dictatorial," says Eiseman, "everyone marched to the same drummer."
Then, consumers revolted.
