Huge disappointment
I love silk plants and have quite a few. This is my first disappointing experience; With this silk areca palm, many silk plant fronds were damaged by stuffing into a too short box. They were bent and one frond's leaflets were completely torn off the plastic supports. The plant literally fell out of the basket as the small torn chunks of styrofoam used to wedge the main body of styrofoam into the basket weren't tight enough to do the job so right out of the box there was spilled styrofoam bits all over. The styrofoam block holding the palm was about 1" taller than the basket and the moss did not cover this fact. Over all this palm looks shiny-plastic-y the "new growth" tops are in fact plastic and the color isn't realistic. The basket is very cheap. I feel the photograph of the image totally misrepresents what you get. I wondered if this silk had been a previous return. Could not get it back in the box fast enough. Fortunately, Nearly Natural stood behind their 100% satisfaction guarantee and immediately emailed an RMA to ship the mess back. I am waiting to see if I get my refund. Mrs. KRead More
Nice Silk Plant
As far as silk plants go, this one is actually more "real" looking than ones I've seen before. We actually ended up buying several to put throughout the office. Plus the fact that all you have to do is dust it from time to time!Read More

Tips on Buying Silk Plants
Keep beautiful flowers and plants in your home year-round when you buy silk plants. There's no watering or trimming involved, and you'll never have to worry about your artificial plants and trees wilting or becoming brittle. Whether you want stunning silk flower arrangements to display on your dining room table or artificial plants that can dress up your living room, the following suggestions can help you find the plants that work in your home. Read on for tips on buying silk plants.
How to Choose the Best Silk Plants
Once either prohibitively expensive or obviously mass produced, artificial plants and flowers have come a long way from their humble roots as table toppers in restaurants. Available in a wide variety of materials, styles, colors, and sizes, there's a silk plant out there to suit any decor style. Choosing the best silk plants can put the perfect finishing touch on a beautiful room. Here's what to look for when you're shopping for the right one.
How to Care for Silk Sheets
When you choose to buy silk sheets, you're making a long-term investment in your personal comfort. Silk sheets are smooth and pleasing to the skin, retaining heat in the winter and keeping your body cool in the summer. Some consumers may be deterred from purchasing silk sheets because they fear they'll get stuck with a "delicate" fabric that falls apart after washing. Rest assured that silk is not only one of the sturdiest fabrics available, but it's also not prone to pesky wrinkles like other types of linens. Quality silk sheets can give you a lifetime of comfort and ask that you give them only a little tender loving care in return. Take a look below to learn how to care for silk sheets.
How To Clean a Silk Dress
If you're afraid to wear your fabulous silk dress to a party for fear of damaging it, a few cleaning tips can help you out and save you big on dry cleaning. While this delicate fabric requires careful handling, most silk clothing does well with hand washing in mild soap. Removing stains from a silk evening dress is a little trickier, but it is still something you can do at home. You do, however, need the right technique to avoid roughening or dulling the fabric. Find out how to wash a silk dress correctly so your dress keeps its soft texture and original color for years.
How to Care for Silk Scarves
A silk scarf can be an elegant complement to almost any wardrobe because it adds vibrant color when worn with many different outfits. If well cared for, a silk scarf will last for years, making it a smart investment in quality clothing. A few steps will ensure that your scarves will be a beautiful part of your wardrobe for years to come.
How to Care for Silk Ties
A beautiful addition to any wardrobe, silk ties are stylish and flattering. Whether you're headed to the office, an important business meeting or an evening out, a silk tie will look great with a suit or dress shirt. The delicate fabric of a silk tie, however, requires careful cleaning to maintain its shiny appearance. To ensure that your ties hold their forms and colors, there are a few tips to follow. Special attention when laundering, packing and pressing will keep your silk neckties in good shape for years to come.
How to Choose Silk Sheets
Upgrading your bedroom from standard to luxurious is easy when you put silk sheets on your bed. Soft and lightweight, silk sheets turn your bed into a haven for sleeping and lounging. If you're ready to upgrade the sheets for your bed, there are a few key things to consider. Here's how to choose silk sheets.
Cotton Thread Bed Linen Fact Sheet
Cotton comes from the same plant family as the hibiscus, and it provides the material for the majority of bedding in production today. From 100 percent cotton sheets to fabric blends that include silk, polyester, and even bamboo fibers, cotton provides soft, durable bedding in a wide range of quality and price. Here's what you need to know while you shop.
How to Decorate With Flowers
Whether you have a light-filled courtyard and gazebo or a dark, forgotten corner in a room, flowers and plants provide a dash of color and life in a space. Decorating with fresh flowers demands a certain amount of maintenance involving plucking dried or wilted blossoms, changing water and supplying fresh blooms. If you don't have the time and money to invest in fresh flower arrangements, consider silk plants and floral arrangements instead. Start simply and gradually add in more decorative touches as you incorporate flowers into your home decor. Whether you prefer fresh flowers or silk floral arrangements, you will gather lots of fresh inspiration from the following ideas.
4 Ways to Celebrate Arbor Day
The first Arbor Day took place in Nebraska City, Nebraska, on April 10, 1872. It is estimated that one million trees were planted that day. The idea of a holiday celebrating trees took hold; by the 1920s, every state in the US had passed a law stipulating that Arbor Day be observed on the last Friday in April. In Nebraska, it's observed as a civic holiday. Planting a tree is the most customary way to observe Arbor Day, but there are other ways to celebrate, too.
How To Care for Velvet Clothing
Velvet is a soft, luxurious fabric that is formed from silk, cotton, nylon, mohair or wool; thus, it can be difficult to know how to clean it. Velvet clothing requires special care to avoid crushing the pile of the fabric. The following tips will help you to clean and care for velvet clothing.
Cotton Bedding vs Wool Bedding
Choosing bedding is a personal decision; when it comes to your comfort while lounging and sleeping, no one knows you better than you. Bedding is available in all sorts of materials, including satin, silk and polyester, but two of the most popular materials for bedding are cotton and wool. Made of all-natural fibers, either cotton or wool bedding will make your bed comfortable, cozy and beautiful as well as suit your individual tastes.
How to Make a Wedding Bouquet
Tie-style wedding bouquets are the easiest kind of bouquet you can make, perfect for budget wedding flowers. With a few supplies and some pretty blossoms, you can have beautiful wedding flowers for your special day. Silk flower bouquets can be prepared weeks or months before the actual wedding. If you choose to use fresh flowers, however, delegate the preparation to a friend, family member or wedding party member, as these wedding bouquets must be made the day before or the day of the wedding.
How to Wash Throw Pillows
Part of keeping a clean house is making sure all of your decorative accessories are clean. Throw pillows covered in delicate fabrics, such as wool or silk, will have to be dry-cleaned, as will throw pillows stuffed with down or feathers. Foam-filled throw pillows with cotton covers or other washable materials, however, can be washed -- some even by machine. Nevertheless, even if a pillow appears washable, always consult the washing instruction label before attempting to wash a throw pillow -- or you may be in for an unpleasant surprise when you remove the pillow from the washing machine.
How to Care for Satin Dresses
Satin dresses can be a beautiful addition to any woman's wardrobe and can be worn for many special occasions. Since satin is created from cotton, silk, acetate, rayon, nylon and/or polyester, it can be difficult to know how to clean your satin evening and formal dresses. The fiber used for the fabric of your dress will largely determine how you should care for it. This guide will help you to clean your satin dress properly and retain its versatility for years to come.
Best Ideas for Wedding Table Linens
Table linens play an important role in the overall design of your wedding reception. The right table linens can create a cohesive look, contribute to a theme and set the stage for centerpieces and other table decor. Cloth napkins, table runners and table skirts are widely available in nearly every color imaginable, so it's convenient and simple to customize your look. Cotton and polyester are practical choices, while more exotic materials like lace, bichon, satin, silk, organza and chiffon add an extravagant feel to any event.
How to Buy Men's Pajamas
Bedtime is your break from the day's stresses, and men's pajamas and robes can help you wind down and make your night's rest more comfortable. You may already have the luxury sheets, down comforter and perfect mattress to ensure a good night's sleep, but men's pajamas are just as important. With men's silk pajamas, soft flannel pajamas and comfortable lounge pants, you can get the rest you need in men's sleepwear and pajamas that fit your style and will keep you cozy all night long.
Jacquard Bedding Fact Sheet
Jacquard bedding ensembles create a regal, romantic and luxurious look in the bedroom. Jacquard bedding ensembles are available in a wide range of colors and styles and are typically made with a blend of luxury silk or cotton materials to complement an elegant, majestic bedroom theme. If you want to create a stylish, opulent ambiance for the guest room, master bedroom or other sleeping space, make Jacquard bedding part of your room decor.

Of course we must recognize that the hole they found is in fact "perfectly normal" for our universe, it simply defies our computer modeling entirely. While EU theory predicts a threaded and non uniform universe, Big Bang theory has consistently predicted a smooth, nearly homogenous universe that is practically devoid of these sorts of "gaping holes" in the universe. In fact, a nearly homogenous universe is one of the "key predictions" of inflation theory that the mainstream has touted as an important example of importance and usefulness of Big Bang theory. It now turns out that this "key prediction" of Big Bang theory is critically flawed. The real life observations of our "perfectly normal" universe refutes the homogenous predictions of the inflation period of Big Bang theory.

Student Jobs Provide Varied Opportunities
January 05, 2012
Statistics provided for the 2010-11 academic year by Angie Wright, ASU associate vice president for finance and administration, show that 1,180 students worked some 438,394 hours and received $4,094,248 in wages for their work. That amount accounts for about 15 percent of all salaries and wages paid by ASU during the last fiscal year.
Too often, said ASU President Joseph C. Rallo, we fail to recognize the role of student jobs in augmenting our strong scholarship programs and reducing the amount of loans many students have to take out to pay for their education. The bottom line is that all we do for our students to help cover their cost of college helps their bottom line when they graduate.
According to U.S. News and World Reports Best Colleges for 2012, ASU graduates had the fourth lowest debt $10,712 among regional universities in the 15 western states. Only nine regional universities nationally had lower debt burdens for graduates than did Angelo State. On top of that, fewer than half of ASU graduates 43 percent had debt upon completing their degrees. That was the sixth lowest percentage among regional universities in all 50 states.
Our total financial aid opportunities stack up nicely against our peer institutions nationally, Rallo said.
In addition to student jobs, various scholarship opportunities, headed by ASUs Carr Scholarship Program, and numerous federal loan and work study programs provide other options for students to cover the cost of an education.
Under the federal work study allocation, ASU must use approximately 7 percent of $212,000 awarded annually by the Department of Education to pay wages for math and reading tutors at area elementary schools, said Michelle Bennett, ASUs director of financial aid. The balance of the work study allocation plus an additional $49,000 in state funds can be used to cover 75 percent of the wages for students who qualify for federal assistance. The university picks up the remaining 25 percent of the student wages.
The majority of student wages, though, are paid through the regular ASU budget at an average wage of $9.34 per hour, according to Kurtis Neal, director of human resources at ASU.
While campus employment can bring in revenue and enhance the résumé for students, Neal said it also helps the university.
Student employees contribute an immense amount of added value to the final work product at Angelo State University, he said. Almost every department employs student employees and these employees contribute a great deal to the operations of the university.
We employ students from the ranch to the police department, Neal continued. Students work for the Ram Page and are responsible for the campus-wide recycling effort. The range of diversity in the type of work that our campus is involved in is amazing, and the type of student employment that is available reflects that diversity.
Just as the university would not exist without students, neither could it do its work without student employees.
Whether they are enhancing the customer service of a department, performing a service that is shared throughout the university or simply assigned with basic clerical duties, the student employees are very important to our departments and the university, Neal said.
Besides the wages, the jobs also offer some major benefits to the students, both in the short term exemption from paying social security, thus increasing take-home pay and in the long term a head start on their careers.
For the most part, student employment is geared around the educational experience, Neal said. Departments are willing to develop schedules that fit within or around the class schedules of the student workers. For those students who live on campus, the work environment is convenient and traditionally relaxed.
Additionally, work experience is always better than no experience, and related experience for the chosen career field is truly valuable, he said. With the number of student positions available and the plethora of opportunities on campus, a student worker can likely find a position that provides them with work experience pertinent to their field. Student employees can progress into graduate assistants or research assistants as well, or perhaps even into a teaching assistant role.
There also are numerous situations where a student employee progressed and was eventually hired as a permanent ASU staff or faculty member.
Those students who are willing to work and develop and prove themselves essentially create an opportunity for potential employment immediately following graduation, Neal said.

Student effort saves small Catholic school -- for now
For many people, the speed of the Internet and its many social media sites can seem dizzying and, at times, slightly off-putting.
That is until these tools become a lifeline in a critical situation.
Earlier this week, students from the College of Saints John Fisher & Thomas More, a liberal arts school on Fort Worth's south side, used the popular crowdfunding site gofundme.com to raise nearly $300,000 to ensure that their beloved campus would remain open for another spring semester.
According to the school's website, Fisher More, which was established as the Saint Thomas More Institute in 1981, was in danger of closing due to a funding gap of $250,000, which was needed to keep the campus operational for the spring semester.
In a video created and posted by students in November, articulate and devoted young men and women implored viewers to help keep their school, which offers a private Catholic education at low cost, open and alive.
If viewers were unable to provide financial support, they asked simply: "Please pray for us."
Their prayers were answered by several hundred benefactors who helped the school overcome what seemed like insurmountable odds.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops lists Fisher More as one of about 249 degree-granting institutions of Catholic higher learning in the U.S.
But Fisher More differs from many of its sister schools in its unique approach to learning, which greatly emphasizes the Catholic identity and provides a residential experience "where students are encouraged to immerse themselves in Catholic liturgy and prayer."
Such an environment provides a powerful alternative to some institutions of higher learning, where faith can sometimes be treated as anathema to intellectual pursuits.
The college also has a unique financial model that seeks to minimize overhead and keep students out of debt with low tuition and a policy of not facilitating student borrowing of any kind. In a world of ever-increasing student debt, what could be more refreshing?
Alas, such noble and admirable goals may also be part of Fisher More's struggle to stay afloat.
Whether it was the versatility of modern social media or a testament to the power of prayer, Fisher More lives another day.
Here's hoping it will not test the powers that be next semester.

There is no polling evidence that Al Gore's campaign against global warming is taking hold with the American public, according to Gallup Poll Editor Frank Newport.
In an interview with U.S. News & World Report, Newport said, "It's just not caught on. They have failed."
There are no polling measures that Newport has discovered indicating Al Gore is winning the debate over global warming. The public is worried about the economy. Period. Newport says the economy trumps the environment right now, a strong indicator that President Obama's bid to put a cap-and-trade pollution regime into operation isn't likely to be politically popular.
Newport points out that some 41 percent believe global warming claims are exaggerated, and "that's the highest we've seen." Ask people to name their biggest concerns, and just 1 percent to 2 percent cite the environment. "The environment doesn't show up at all," says Newport.
"It's Al Gore's greatest frustration," says Newport. "We seem less concerned than more about global warming over the years. . . . Despite the movies and publicity and all that, we're just not seeing it take off with the American public. And that was occurring even before the latest economic recession."

Karrueche Tran out and about in L.A in Dior Homme
Model Karrueche Tran is in the headlines a lot at the moment. She's controversial rapper Chris Brown's ex for one thing. And of course now that Brown and Rihanna are back together there's much speculation on the nature of Brown's continued friendship with the model.
Today, though we're more interested in those stylish Dior Homme sunglasses. Karrueche spotted here out and about in L.A soon after her split with Brown, showed her style mettle with a really neat choice of designer sunglasses to hide that very public gaze.
Karrueche chose the Dior Homme Black Tie in havana as she hit the streets of L.A. The Black Tie is a modern aviator with a distinctive brow that really accentuates the eyeline.
It's a perfect moving on accessory for Karrueche who is now said to be getting close to Brown's friend, Kendrick Lamar. So more headlines to follow then...

Some at meetings think Yankees could get involved again
NASHVILLE -- As the Boston Red Sox waited a second day to see if they have the goods to land Johan Santana, two particular questions lay heavy in the Christmas tree-scented air at the Opryland Hotel:
What exactly are the Minnesota Twins thinking as they sit back and contemplate Boston's two trade proposals?
Lefty Legends
Don't punch his Hall of Fame ticket just yet, but Johan Santana has already made a name for himself among left-handed pitchers. Here are the top winning percentages by lefties since 1900*:
|Whitey Ford
|Don Gullett
|Lefty Grove
|Johan Santana
|Babe Ruth
|* -- Minimum 100 starts
And are the New York Yankees really, truly out of it?
The Yankees pulled out of the Santana sweepstakes Tuesday when senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner told the Associated Press that "a deadline is a deadline." But the Yankees' recent about-face on Alex Rodriguez left them credibility-impaired on the subject of deadlines, so nobody in Nashville is buying the premise that they're completely disengaged.
"All you have to do is look at what the Yankees said on A-Rod, and you take what they're saying now for what it's worth," said a club official at the meetings. "All it takes is one phone call for them to get back in it."
At the moment, the Red Sox are the only team publicly linked to a pursuit of Santana, who is available in trade because he's eligible for free agency next winter and almost certainly beyond the Twins' price range.
It appears that none of the names in play changed Tuesday. A club source confirmed that Boston has one proposal on the table consisting of starter Jon Lester, center fielder Coco Crisp, infielder Jed Lowrie and a minor league pitcher -- either Justin Masterson or possibly Michael Bowden.
Boston's other package consists of outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, Lowrie and someone from the Masterson-Bowden menu.
When the Twins failed to give Boston any feedback Tuesday, it led to some inevitable speculation: Is Minnesota waiting for the Yankees to jump back into the bidding or hoping the Red Sox decide they really, truly want Santana enough to discuss top pitching prospect Clay Buchholz?
Or is Bill Smith, the Twins' new general manager, simply taking a reasoned and diligent approach to a transaction that might ultimately define his tenure in Minnesota? Lots of people think the Twins might be best served hanging onto Santana and making a run at the AL Central title in 2008. Just because the Santana talks are generating so much hype, Smith isn't necessarily obligated to provide the "SportsCenter" highlight.
Meanwhile, the Angels were dragged into the fray Tuesday. After weeks of speculation that they were going to acquire Miguel Cabrera from Florida, the Angels watched the All-Star third baseman go to Detroit with Dontrelle Willis as part of an eight-player deal.
As of late Tuesday night, there was no formal announcement of a Marlins-Tigers trade, and none of the players had been officially informed they'd been dealt -- prompting one agent to speculate that somebody's medical reports might be getting a thorough going-over.
When reports began swirling that the Angels -- jilted on Cabrera -- were suddenly in hot pursuit of Santana, Los Angeles GM Tony Reagins told the media to take a deep breath.
"There are a lot of things out there being reported, but I don't see anything on the horizon," Reagins said on the subject of Santana. "We haven't had any discussions with regard to adding starting pitching."
The Angels, who recently signed center fielder Torii Hunter to a five-year, $90 million contract, continue to focus their efforts on upgrading the offense. While Reagins had a conversation with Smith on Monday here in Nashville, Santana's name apparently wasn't part of the discussion.
Pitching isn't on the Angels' wish list at the moment because they already have six starters -- John Lackey, Kelvim Escobar, Jered Weaver, Jon Garland, Ervin Santana and Joe Saunders. But if the Angels change their minds, they have enough talent to put together an attractive package.
Pick any three from a group of Weaver, pitching prospect Nick Adenhart, second baseman Howie Kendrick, third baseman Brandon Wood and shortstop Erick Aybar, and the Twins would certainly have to listen.
That's why this deal might take a while to play out. The Twins are hesitant to jump on Boston's offer in the event the Yankees or Angels might have second thoughts and come up with something better.
There's the additional consideration of Santana's next team wanting a 72-hour window to negotiate a contract extension with the pitcher. So even if Minnesota and Boston agreed on the players involved today, the trade couldn't possibly be formalized until everybody has packed up and flown home from Nashville.

i love lychnis
OK, it's been a long long time since i've posted here, but i had to come back to tell you all of my new favorite perennial.
Lynchis (x arkwrightii 'Vesuvius' in particular) is a great performer, before, during and after flowering and if you deadhead it, you get two batches of blooms.
Before? Fantastic germination rates! Great chocolatey-purple leaves that put a nice difference to all the green during april and may.
During? Fantastic BRIGHT red blooms that glow and don't fade all during the season. And, as mentioned, treat them right and you get two shows. Also, these are non-invasive and stay in nice, neat clumps, each year getting taller, up to about a foot. So, if you are the "Formal" type of gardener, know this is not a messy plant.
After? LOTS of seeds you can bring indoors and start trays with in March, easy to maintain and you still have the nice dark leaves until frost.
What more could you want out of a perennial except that it was nearly impossible to find retail and I had to do trays in order to get them.
When i get a chance, i'll post a picture link to show mine off...

Dr. Eugene Emembolu was extremely abrupt, rude and arrogant doctor we have dealth with yet. In 2 minutes he stated the fracture presented was healing fine, it had been 2 weeks so there should be no pain and that surgery was not necessary even though 2 other orthopedic doctors recommended surgery. In an attempt to ask questions he would not even give me the chance to ask as he spoke over me and then dismissed us to the waiting room. There his receptionist stated he would not take the case because we disagreed with his treatment plan. Give me a chance to ask questions and do not treat patients as if we are blind idiots. I would not recommend this doctor to my dog.

Two-Piece Single Gang Feed through Wall Plate (white)
Feed through wall plates are popular in today's installed sound system installations as they allow a large number of cables to be fed to a system, without requiring termination at the plate. The unique feature of this plate is it's two piece design, which allows the nose to be placed either inside or outside the wall. Additionally, the cables can be fed through the opening, prior to installing the nose, easing the installation of multiple cables.
Wall plates are available in single or double gang sizes, in a variety of colors. All are compatible with standard electrical boxes or low voltage mounting brackets.
I have been using these for a couple years now and they are the perfect plate to use if you have bulk cables coming out of the wall. The reversible "snout" is great if you have to slide a credenza or some other furniture tight against the wall where the plate is located. I will continue to purchase these in 1 and 2 gang sizes and all the colors they have.

Microsoft officials say they are taking steps to guarantee that governments -- including the United States -- follow legal processes rather than use what the company's top lawyer called "brute force" to access data about its customers.
The company plans to strengthen encryption of customer data and take a more active role in challenging efforts to collect information on its users. It will also be more active in informing customers when data is requested. In addition, Microsoft will expand customers' access to source code to allay concerns that built-in "back doors" exist to allow law enforcement and intelligence agencies to access the information.
"Indeed, government snooping potentially now constitutes an 'advanced persistent threat,' alongside sophisticated malware and cyberattacks," Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith wrote in a Dec. 4 blog post.
Smith's post does not mention the National Security Agency or the U.S. government by name, but it does acknowledge concerns about reports of "governmental interception and collection -- without search warrants or legal subpoenas -- of customer data as it travels between customers and servers or between company data centers in our industry."
Microsoft has been deeply enmeshed in the U.S. government's information-mining efforts. According to documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, Microsoft gave the agency and the FBI access to information on users of the company's Outlook.com email service, SkyDrive storage service and Skype videoconferencing network.
Smith said the company will be more skeptical about governments' requests for personal information and data stored by its cloud customers.
"Except in the most limited circumstances, we believe that government agencies can go directly to business customers or government customers for information or data about one of their employees -- just as they did before these customers moved to the cloud -- without undermining their investigation or national security," Smith wrote.
Microsoft also plans to use applicable foreign laws when appropriate to resist data-collection attempts made outside established legal processes, which appears to be a nod to European customers who store material in data centers that are subject to the sometimes more stringent privacy protections of European law.
Daniel Castro, a senior analyst at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, said U.S.-based cloud vendors will have to go the extra mile to assure foreign customers that their data is safe from bulk collection. In August, he published a report that estimates NSA surveillance could cost U.S. cloud providers $22 billion to $35 billion over the next three years.
Castro said he expects more companies to follow Microsoft's lead in making privacy protection a selling point for customers. But he worries that NSA surveillance "is turning the Internet into a third-world country" in which each company is responsible for its own security. "The government is creating more risk, and that's a cost to everyone else," Castro told FCW.

Corn pollination and growing degree days
Some corn producers have started seeing some tassels in their cornfields during the last week. The question still remains: will we have enough Growing Degree Days (GDDs) to get that crop to maturity this summer and fall?
This year's corn pollination period is going to vary widely across the state and from field to field. The late-planted corn may not be tasselling until early August.

On the way back to collect the car we popped into the Westlake Mall. Just outside of the mall was a cool little communal area with table tennis, foosball and chess for everyone to get involved with. There were loads of people out playing and socialising. A nice little touch.
We picked up our car and was upgraded from a hatchback to a very nice Ford Fusion for free. This car would of ...

Freezing rain didn't dampen the annual "March for Life" at the Minnesota State Capitol.

In Kansas, legislators recently passed the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. If enacted into law, the bill would require doctors to tell pregnant women of a relationship between abortion and breast cancer.
This news follows passage by the New Hampshire State House of the Women's Right To Know Act Regarding Abortion Information. These related laws are unlikely to gain approval by the state senates.
But there's a trend: A similar measure took effect in Texas in February. Now, providers there must inform pregnant women about "the possibility of increased risk of breast cancer following an induced abortion," the so-called ABC link.
. . .
In the decade following Roe vs. Wade, the occurrence of breast tumors in the United States soared. The coincidental rise in case numbers with legalized abortions led some to speculate that terminating a pregnancy might boost a woman's odds.
The link is plausible because female hormones and fertility influence mammary growth and tumors. After a spate of conflicting reports in the 1980s and '90s, a consensus emerged that there's no meaningful tie.
Rather, modern demographics - like birth control use, delayed childbirth and obesity - combined with increased detection by mammography, overwhelmingly account for the rise in breast cancer diagnoses.
The most recent edition of "Principles and Practice of Oncology," the "bible" of cancer medicine, does not list abortion as a risk factor. Still, anti-abortion groups press the association.
What's curious from a med-ethics standpoint is the way in which anti-abortion activists have adopted the language of patient empowerment, like a Woman's Right To Know, and turned it upside down.
The nascent laws insist that those contemplating the procedure be made aware of a falsehood or, at best, an unproved and frightening correlation. They stipulate confusion rather than informed consent.
. . .
Few doubt that a woman's reproductive history influences her chances of getting breast cancer. As early as 1703, Italian physician Bernardino Ramazzini reported that nuns suffered breast tumors with relative frequency.
A century ago, the British Ministry of Health commissioned Janet Clay-Laypon to examine possible roots of the malignancy. In then-innovative case-control studies, Clay-Laypon surveyed 508 breast cancer patients at English and Scottish hospitals.
For controls, she questioned women with other medical conditions. Her 1926 monograph, "A Further Report on Cancer of the Breast," confirmed what doctors had long suspected: Women who deliver few children and marry late are more likely to develop the disease.
Today, what's known about breast cancer causes remains slim. Only a small fraction of cases trace to genetics. Having your first period at an early age or going through menopause late correlates with increased risk.
Bearing multiple kids and breast-feeding may lower your risk. Hormonal birth control and replacement "therapy" after menopause are implicated too, as is radiation exposure - whether from bombs, treatment of another cancer, or too many CT scans.
Environmental toxins, broadly, and a few specific chemicals are named culprits, though few are incontrovertible. Other factors, (like not exercising, drinking alcohol, or being fat for older women) might increase one's chances. But essentially all the science is correlative. Absolute proof is absent.
The notion of an abortion/breast cancer link gained traction around 1981. A group of Southern California investigators observed an apparent 2.4-fold increase in breast cancer among young women who said they'd had either a miscarriage or an elective abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Their British Journal of Cancer report was limited and unusual: It included just 163 patients, all with cancer diagnoses by age 32. And the researchers' methodology was telling.
They asked the women if they'd used oral contraceptives, and how many times they'd been pregnant, delivered, miscarried or had abortions.

Over the next three days, we'll be featuring each of the ten titles from this year's Best Translated Book Award poetry shortlist. Click here for all past write-ups.
This guest post is by Brandon Holmquest—poet, translator, and editor of CALQUE. Brandon is devoted to the reception and promotion of international poetry, so I'm really glad he was able to serve on the panel this year. And write up a couple books!
On one particularly bad night we were all in the kitchen with this book, idly translating it into German, Spanish, Chinese. Then the war began. Another time, I handed it to a guy and, flipping through it and seeing how "The Brittle Age" is composed often of single sentences each on their own page, he called it a waste of paper. I made him take it home and when he returned it I asked him if he still felt the same and he shook his head very slowly. I think I've read it five times now. Maybe six.
All of which is to say that The Brittle Age and Returning Upland is an eloquent, disquieting book. One that makes an impact. That these two works by a poet who's been dead for more than two decades is being published in this country for the first time is both great and puzzling. I am unfortunately ignorant of the history of how it came to be published. But neither am I terribly concerned about that, grateful as I am for the mere fact of its existence.
The book contains two poems written in the 60s. The first, "The Brittle Age," stretches across some 87 pages, made up of single fragments, none of them longer than five lines, many a few words. The second, "Returning Upland," is more properly a series of poems, if not a serial poem. The two works are discrete, having no relation other than having been written by one person, translated by another.
"Comfort is crime, the fountain told me from its rock." And on the next page: "Be consoled. In dying you return everything that you were lent, your love, your friends. Even that living coldness, harvested over and over." And the next: "Death's great ally, where its midges are best concealed, is memory: the persecutor of our odyssey, lasting from an eve to the pink tomorrow."
And so on. "The Brittle Age" is undoubtedly the star here, though I doubt very seriously is "Returning Upland" could get a fair hearing in any court containing the other poem. The inclusion of both of them makes the most sense in light of the fact that both were translated by Gustaf Sobin, an American poet for whom Char appears to have been something between mentor and father-figure.
Even the cursory sort of French I possess is enough to reveal the quality of Sobin's work here. His ear is so good, and his sense of English poetry so sound that he can rewrite individual sentences as he needs to in order to maintain Char's voice, changing the letter, capturing the spirit of the thing, as when Char's French reads:
Il advient que notre coeur soit comme chassé de notre corps. Et notre corps est comme mort.
And Sobin's English gives us:
Sometimes our heart seems as if chased from our body, and our body, as if dead.
Sobin makes two sentences into one. He uses commas to create pauses that work to excellent rhythmic effect and to enable a reproduction, with the double use of the word "body," of an echo of the homophonic effect the French has with couer and corps, which is where most of Char's art in this passage resides.
One example, pulled at random from a book which teems with them.
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .

roanoke, va juniper grower has questions.
hello, all:
i'm new to gardening, and new to this forum, so please, bear with me. i recently purchased 12 junipers, six blue star and six procumbens nana. they are beginning to get a bit brown at the tips. my father in law said i wasn't watering them enough, but the person at the greenhouse told me to water them two times a weeks, which seemed plenty to me. anyhow, i have been following that advice yet i remain paranoid. when i planted them (three weeks ago) i made sure to follow the suggestions fully and added holly tone to the soil (two cups per plant). i also recently watered with an acid loving plant fertilizer. i may just be paranoid. most people i talk to don't seem too concerned. i thought the power of the internet might help. also, if nothing is wrong and the brown tips are natural, should i prune them off, or is it too late in the season. sorry for all the words.
