AACR2 stands for the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition. It is published jointly by the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in the UK. The editor is Michael Gorman, a British-born librarian living in the Chicago area and honored by both the ALA and CILIP. AACR2 is designed for use in the construction of catalogues and other lists in general libraries of all sizes. The rules cover the description of, and the provision of access points for, all library materials commonly collected at the present time. Despite the claim to be 'Anglo-American', the first edition of AACR was published in 1967 in somewhat distinct North American and British texts. The second edition of 1978 unified the two sets of rules (adopting the British spelling 'cataloguing') and brought them in line with the International Standard Bibliographic Description. Libraries wishing to migrate from the previous North American text were obliged to implement 'desuperimposition', a substantial change in the form of headings for corporate bodies. As well as occasional minor amendments, a broader revision was completed in July 2010 in which the rules are more consistent and coherent, informed by the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records. This new cataloging code has been released as Resource Description and Access and is currently undergoing testing at a number of universities as well as the Library of Congress.

How Lent is spent can differ among churches
Area churches mark the 40 days before Easter in new, traditional ways
Mark Mulligan / The Herald Deacon Matt Zuanich, right, and the Rev. Bryan Hersey place the sign of the cross on parishioners foreheads with ashes at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Everett on Ash Wednesday.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Deacon Matt Zuanich, right, and the Rev. Bryan Hersey place the sign of the cross on parishioners foreheads with ashes at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Everett on Ash Wednesday.
"The emphasis now is on prayer and works of good," said Zuanich, who remembers long-ago Lenten practices of attending Mass daily, never eating between meals, and faithfully going to church for Stations of the Cross devotions every Friday night.
Observant Catholics still forgo meat on Fridays during Lent, and many spend more time in prayer and reflection.
"My wife and I would get up and go to Mass every day during Lent, then I'd go to work. They used to have a 6 a.m. Mass," said Zuanich, 81, who serves at Everett's Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Perpetual Help parishes.
Earlier this week, Zuanich joined the Rev. Bryan Hersey for a midday Ash Wednesday service at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. They marked parishioners' foreheads with ashes in the shape of a cross. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, a solemn season many Christian churches observe leading up to Easter.
Lent is traditionally 40 days long, but there are differences in the ways churches count those days. In the Catholic Church, Lent officially ends on Holy Thursday, three days before Easter, yet the Lenten fast is traditionally observed through the Saturday before Easter. Some Christian churches calculate Lent as the 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter, with the Sundays excluded.
The 40 days are representative of the Bible's account of Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness, a time of temptation by Satan, and also of the Israelites wandering the desert for 40 years from the Old Testament. The ashes, too, are symbolic.
Deacon Gene Vanderzanden, who serves at St. Michael Catholic Church in Snohomish, said there are two aspects to the symbolism of Ash Wednesday.
"One is mortality. When I was a boy, that tended to be emphasized to a greater degree," said Vanderzanden, 73. A priest or minister may say one of two things while blessing each person with ashes. "Remember that you are dust and unto dust you shall return," from the Bible's book of Genesis, is a reminder of life's fragility, Vanderzanden said.
Or a clergy member may say, "Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel," while administering ashes.
"There's a positive emphasis, to try to make it a season where we grow closer to Christ," Vanderzanden said. "There's a tradition of emptying ourselves during Lent. The three ways of accomplishing that are to fast, to give up something, and to get money to the poor, almsgiving. There are also ways to fill ourselves. We nearly always have some sort of adult education during Lent."
Catholics aren't alone in observing Lent.
"It's a 40-day journey into the depths of Holy Week, and into the celebration of Easter," said Pastor Eileen Hanson, of Lynnwood's Trinity Lutheran Church. The church uses the term "Radical Return" for its Lenten season.
While Trinity Lutheran Church held a traditional Ash Wednesday service for the imposition of ashes, Hanson said "a more experiential service" was conducted at its satellite church, Pointe of Grace in Harbour Pointe.
At Pointe of Grace, Ash Wednesday included stations for prayer, reflections on icons, and the inclusion of origami. Hanson said the folding of paper birds was a time of meditation. She said Trinity Lutheran emphasizes grace during Lent, "with the assumption that we are beloved and we are good."
Church members, she said, will take part in providing backpacks filled with healthy foods for children in need who attend Olympic View Middle School. "Our emphasis is on returning to God, not so much on discipline," she said.
Thomas Curran is the director of Trinity Formation Resources, a nonprofit ministry dedicated to helping Catholics live and understand their faith. An author and theologian with a graduate degree from Rome's Gregorian University and a doctorate in systematic theology from Catholic University, Curran will present a Lenten program, "Journey to a Deeper Faith," at 7 p.m. Feb. 26 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church.
Curran said the traditional practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving have tremendous value, but also that there's a new Lenten emphasis on "the person of Christ."
"Jesus went out in the desert for 40 days to prepare to go forward into ministry," Curran said. "The Lenten concept of giving up something -- who is the one who gave up the most? If Jesus gave up his life for us, in obedience to his Heavenly Father and his mission, what would we not give up to ready ourselves for entry into that mission?"

South Africa's top rugby school still believes the Crusaders intend to poach players at an invitational camp in Pretoria.
On Friday, it emerged that the Crusaders had mailed letters to South Africa's top rugby schools enticing them to send their best players to a development and skills camp from 6-10 July. Saru then sent a letter to the New Zealand Rugby Union requesting that they intervene and prevent the Crusaders from recruiting South Africa's junior talent.
On Saturday, Crusaders CEO Hamish Riach denied there is anything sinister about the camp and was adamant that the Crusaders don't intend to recruit South African players for the New Zealand franchise.
But Grey College aren't taking any chances. The No 1 ranked school in the country has received the Crusaders' invitation for the camp, but won't be sending any players.
'In the letter it says the camp is development-orientated, but one still gets a feeling that it is a process of recruitment,' Grey's director of rugby, Dries van der Wal, told keo.co.za.
'South Africa's top schoolboys will be at the camp, so what will stop them from offering players who impress them a deal with the Crusaders?'
Van der Wal added that Grey will not support this initiative.
'Grey won't send any players and it is our final decision. We feel our best players must stay in South Africa.
'We are all for the development of our players, but we don't want our players to be based overseas.
'I've spoken to some schools in the Bloemfontein region and they won't send any of their players and the Free State Rugby Union is against this camp. But I haven't been in contact with other schools in the country, so I don't know what they will do.'

Q. What is Breast Self-Exam (BSE)?
A. A breast self-exam (BSE) is a technique used by women to become familiar with the normal look and feel of their breast. BSEs are important in keeping you aware of changes in your breasts. Knowing how your breasts normally look and feel is crucial in detecting abnormalities.
Q. How Often Should I Perform a BSE?
A. A monthly BSE is recommended for all women beginning at age 20.
Q. What is a Clinical Breast Exam?
A. A clinical breast exam (CBE) is similar to a BSE, except it is performed by your health care provider. If you have questions about how to perform a BSE, your health care provider can discuss and demonstrate the proper technique during your CBE.
Q. When Should I Receive a CBE?
A. Depending on your family history and whether or not breast cancer has affected someone in your family, CBEs should be performed at least once every three years beginning at age 20. After age 40, CBEs are recommended at least once a year. Generally, CBEs are performed during annual Pap smear and pelvic exams.
Q. What is a screening mammogram?
A. A screening mammogram is a low dose x-ray of the breast. A mammogram consists of two images of each breast. The images are used to detect changes in the breasts of women who have no signs or symptoms suspicious for breast cancer.
An annual screening mammogram is recommended for all women over the age of 40.
Q. What is a diagnostic mammogram?
A. A diagnostic mammogram is used for problem solving. For example, a diagnostic mammogram would be performed if a lump is found in the breast, or if there are other signs suspicious for breast cancer. A diagnostic mammogram might also be used to follow a particular finding over time.
Diagnostic mammograms are tailored to each patient's case and are monitored by a board certified radiologist who interprets the images and determines whether further testing is needed.
Q. Who reviews the mammography images/results?
A. All mammography results are reviewed a minimum of two times. The first review is performed by one of our board certified radiologists. The second review is performed by the R2 ImageChecker. The R2 ImageChecker is a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system that analyzes mammograms giving a computerized "second opinion."
Q. What is digital mammography?
A. Digital mammography is a system where x-ray film pictures of the breast are replaced by solid-state detectors that convert x-rays into electric signals. These detectors are similar to those found in digital cameras. The electrical signals are used to produce images (similar to a digital photograph) of the breast that can be viewed on a computer screen or printed on special films.
The dramatic difference in the quality of that picture allows Lourdes radiologists a better opportunity to discover abnormalities.
Read more about digital mammography.
Q. How do I prepare for a mammogram?
A. See "Preparing for Your Mammogram."
Q. What is a breast ultrasound?
A. Ultrasound is a noninvasive test that uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the breast. Breast ultrasound is used as a supplemental tool in detecting and diagnosing fluid-filled versus solid abnormalities in the breast.

Five Anderson University biology and chemistry students recently gained hands-on experience and learned the latest technological developments in pharmaceutical research at the annual Bio-analytical Outreach Conference. The conference was hosted by Eli Lilly and Company, one of the largest pharmaceutical research and production organizations in the world and headquartered in Indianapolis.
Each year, around 60 collegiate science and biology majors from around the state of Indiana are invited to the Lilly Technology Center, which houses many of the manufacturing and distribution offices for the pharmaceutical company. Students receive tours of the facilities and explore the labs where biologists, chemists, and biochemists do most of their research. This year, representatives also educated the students on bioassays, which are experiments conducted on living organisms to test the effects of a drug on responsive matter. The hands-on experience came when attendees helped run several drug tests in the lab.
[Illustration: This image depicts some of the information students learned during the conference.]
Professor of Chemistry Dr. Scott Carr brought the five AU juniors and seniors to the conference.
"The students appreciated seeing a more realistic view of what it means to be a research chemist, as well as the steps involved in becoming one," said Carr. "They learned how important it is to be flexible, to be willing to learn new technologies, and to work in teams at this annual event. Seeing pieces of million dollar research instrumentation also left an impression."
Conference leaders introduced the students to two made-up drugs that they presented as something they want to develop, analyze, quantify, or isolate. Next, they demonstrated some techniques that assisted students in the drug development process. The conference gave students a unique opportunity to work in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Ashley Karr is a junior biology major. Karr was one of the AU students invited to attend the conference. Although Karr felt inspired by the work at Eli Lilly, she also learned how much time and effort it takes to manufacture some of the life-saving drugs many rely on.
"I learned a lot about the newest advances in medical technology and had the opportunity to see cutting-edge research," said Karr. "It was amazing to see thousands of instruments that could easily cost millions of dollars each. You really don't want to break anything in their labs."
Karr was also impressed by the chemists' personalities and senses of humor.
"I specifically remember a little stuffed Yoda sitting on top of a million-dollar nuclear magnetic resonance instrument. It cheers up these brilliant analytical chemists when they are having a bad day," said Karr.
At the end of the conference, students had the opportunity to ask questions to a panel of industrial chemists. These interactions included in-depth information about the hiring policy at Eli Lilly and how one can break into the pharmaceutical industry.

Anderson University is a private Christian university of 2,600 undergraduate and graduate students in central Indiana. Anderson University continues to be recognized as one of America's top colleges by U.S. News and World Report, The Princeton Review, and Forbes. Established in 1917 by the Church of God, Anderson University offers more than 65 undergraduate majors and graduate programs in business, music, nursing, and theology.

Fine Needle Biopsy
by Patty Kellicker
Definition TOP
A biopsy is a procedure to remove a tissue sample. In a fine needle biopsy (FNB), fluid and cells are removed with a thin, hollow needle.
Reasons for Procedure TOP
This biopsy is used to evaluate organ or tumor tissue. The sample may show abnormal cells, disease, infection, or inflammation.
FNB may also be done to find out how certain treatments are working.
Possible Complications TOP
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. The potential complications will depend on the location of the biopsy. Your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
What to Expect TOP
Prior to Procedure
Ask your doctor if there are any instructions you should follow before the procedure. Depending on the part of the body that the biopsy is being taken from, your doctor may ask you to:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to 1 week before the procedure.
Just before the test, you may be asked to drink a contrast material. This drink will make images clearer on x-rays or CT scans.
Local anesthesia is often used. It will make the area numb. A sedative may also be used to help you relax.
Description of the Procedure TOP
Your doctor may use images of the inside of your body to help guide the needle. This may be done with an ultrasound, x-ray, or CT scan.
You will be positioned for the easiest access to the area for biopsy. The area where the needle will be inserted will be cleaned. Anesthesia will be applied to numb the area. You will be asked to stay still. A thin, hollow needle will then be inserted through the skin to the site. The needle may need to be inserted more than once. The images may be checked to make sure the needle is in the right place. After the needle is in the proper position, tissue or fluid will be withdrawn. You may feel a pinch, pressure, or nothing at all. After the sample is obtained, the needle will be removed. The site will be bandaged.
How Long Will It Take? TOP
The length of procedure will depend on the site that is sampled:
Will It Hurt? TOP
The amount of discomfort you feel depends on the part of the body that is being examined. The anesthesia and sedative will prevent pain. You may feel a pinch or pressure. If you feel pain, tell the doctor right away.
After the procedure, the site will be tender. Talk to your doctor about medication to help manage discomfort.
Post-procedure Care TOP
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
The sample will be examined by a specialist. The results are usually ready in a few days. Your doctor will talk to you about the results.
Call Your Doctor TOP
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

As you can see from this Mind Map, there are many moving parts to a robust Social Content Marketing Model.
Neil Ferree's curator insight, April 18, 2014 4:50 PM
What are your top performing social channels?
The goal is to have an optimized profile on the top social channels where you can identify and engage key influencers in your niche.
Then you can create and curate and syndicate your awesome content to these top performing social channels to entertain and educate your audience (fans and follower) with your knowledge and domain expertise (aka) personal branding.

Key Take Away of the Social SEO article from Social Media Today is:
What appears to be far more important is the interaction between you and your content and others of a high authority. Thus if a high authority person shares your content this will improve your own authority.
Do you need Google+ Coaching and Training?

Interesting but not surprising. I think the older the Gen X-, Gen Y, Millenials and Digital Natives grow, the higher the stats for all ages.

Video is invaluable for getting customer's attention. Many think creating the video is all that's required. Adding excellent SEO to the mix is the cherry on top.

Thank you Beth, hehe. It was meant to be "in the ocean", but then I found that great picture and decided to move onto "sand".
Thank you so much for referencing my work and for highlighting, as we all must learn to do more often, the good stuff you found in it.

I like this.
Long ago, in a former life, I used to get newspaper articles passed to me each day that were relevant to my job and/or my aspirations. I would take the necessary hour or so each day to remain current with world affairs related to what I did or where I wanted to go.
Curation is a lot like that except it is more global in concept.
This article talks about how to do this in the best way.

If I weren't so lazy, I would have researched and found and shared in this Scooped story the article that details the 10 questions you should ask anyone who claims to be a social media guru.
I'm not going to do that in this case, since I want to use this submission as example of how and why the Pro version of Scoop.it makes all the difference in the world to my new guru in the making [url=/u/1474709 x-already-notified=1]iagdotme[/url] who I am indebited to for turning me on to Commun.it back in 2013.
So Ian, the Pro version enables the rich text editor so we can point to a page 3 layers deep within a website like this vs. the fremium version that doesn't have that capability.
iagdotme's comment, May 9, 2014 7:58 AM
Thanks, Neil. The article on the 10 questions you ask a social media guru sounds interesting.
Glad I helped you get back to Commun.it. Do you still use it regularly?
I get that Scoop.it allows you to make it easy to share an article to multiple networks with one click, but I don't quite understand the advantages of the Pro version. You say it enables the "rich text editor". I assume that means you can link to other articles and format text with bold and italics. I can see that being helpful, but is it worth paying the money for? What do you mean by pointing to a page "3 layers deep"?

Joe Paterno and the Truth Right In Front of Our Eyes
We are biased to believe in the innocence of those we admire -- even when they have blood on their hands
We are biased to believe in the innocence of those we admire -- even when they have blood on their hands
We're all going to die and we all know it. This can be both a burden and a blessing.
In the heart of every parent lives the tightly coiled nightmare that his child will die. It might spring at logical times—when a toddler runs into the street, say—or it might sneak up in quieter moments. The fear is a helpful evolutionary motivation for parents to protect their children, but it's haunting nonetheless.
The ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus advised parents to indulge that fear. "What harm is it, just when you are kissing your little child, to say: Tomorrow you will die?" he wrote in his Discourses.
Some might say Epictetus was an asshole. William Irvine thinks he was on to something.
"The Stoics had the insight that the prospect of death can actually make our lives much happier than they would otherwise be," he says. "You're supposed to allow yourself to have a flickering thought that someday you're going to die, and someday the people you love are going to die. I've tried it, and it's incredibly powerful. Well, I am a 21st-century practicing Stoic."
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
Can a political system be democratically legitimate without being democratic?
The flaws in China's political system are obvious. The government doesn't even make a pretense of holding national elections and punishes those who openly call for multiparty rule. The press is heavily censored and the Internet is blocked. Top leaders are unconstrained by the rule of law. Even more worrisome, repression has been ramped up since Xi Jinping took power in 2012, suggesting that the regime is increasingly worried about its legitimacy.
Some China experts—most recently David Shambaugh of George Washington University—interpret these ominous signs as evidence that the Chinese political system is on the verge of collapse. But such an outcome is highly unlikely in the near future. The Communist Party is firmly in power, its top leader is popular, and no political alternative currently claims widespread support. And what would happen if the Party's power did indeed crumble? The most likely result, in my view, would be rule by a populist strongman backed by elements of the country's security and military forces. The new ruler might seek to buttress his legitimacy by launching military adventures abroad. President Xi would look tame by comparison.
Some spoiler-y speculation on the final three episodes
With only three episodes left to go, Game of Thrones looks as though it once again has a lot of ground to cover before wrapping up a season. And so, for the curious and impatient among you, I'll do my best to offer some quasi-informed speculation about what we might reasonably expect in these final weeks.
Note: I haven't seen any of the remaining episodes, but I have read the books. The first five items below are spoiler-y, but the predictions in them do not derive from the George R. R. Martin novels. Rather, they're guesswork based on what's already happened on the show and on tidbits scattered across the web: a behind-the-scenes photo here, a close-read of a trailer there. (They could all, of course, turn out to be completely wrong.) The last four items, however, are based at least in part on events that take place in A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, so non-book-readers may want to skip them. And obviously anyone, book-reader or not, who'd prefer to go into these final episodes without preconceptions—who doesn't want to know at least some of what will (probably) happen—should stop reading now.
People look to Amy Schumer and her fellow jokers not just to make fun of the world, but to make sense of it. And maybe even to help fix it.
This week, in a much-anticipated sketch on her Comedy Central show, Amy Schumer staged a trial of Bill Cosby in "the court of public opinion." Schumer—her character, at any rate—played the role of the defense. "Let's remind ourselves what's at stake here," she argued to the jury. "If convicted, the next time you put on a rerun of The Cosby Show you may wince a little. Might feel a little pang. And none of us deserve that. We don't deserve to feel that pang."
Her conclusion? "We deserve to dance like no one's watching, and watch like no one's raping."
Ooof. This is the kind of thing that gets Inside Amy Schumer referred to as "the most feminist show on television," and her act in general called, in a phrase that reveals as much about her craft as about Schumer herself, "comedy with a message." But while Schumer's work is operating at the vanguard of popular comedy, it's also in line with the work being done by her fellow performers: jokes that tend to treat humor not just as an end in itself, but as a vehicle for making a point. Watch like no one's raping.
Caves and tunnels have always been part of human life.
The wealthiest schools in the country could have more economic diversity if they wanted it. So why don't they?
In case you ever wondered just how much wealthy students dominate America's top colleges, here's a nice illustration from a new report by the Century Foundation. At the most selective schools in the country,* 70 percent of students come from the wealthiest quarter of U.S. families. Just 14 percent come from the poorest half. And while these statistics date back to 2006, I think it's safe to say they haven't changed greatly in the last few years.
If you think higher education should be a ladder for upward mobility, then you should regard these numbers as a disgrace. As we've written before at The Atlantic, elite colleges do a consistently poor job recruiting the intelligent but low-income high school students who could benefit most from a top-notch education. Part of their problem, as Josh Freedman explained for us recently, is that it's expensive. Low-income undergrads need financial aid, and many institutions either don't have the resources, or would simply prefer to deploy them elsewhere. Others have the money and are willing to use it, but aren't sufficiently aggressive about reaching out to a population of students who often don't realize they have the academic skills to attend a great school or that aid would cover most of their expenses.
A challenge based on four words of the law amounts to little more than politics dressed up as a legal argument.
The Supreme Court is about to decide another blockbuster case arising under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The specific issue is whether federal-tax subsidies are available to people who purchase health insurance from exchanges operated by the federal government or instead whether such subsidies are available only from exchanges established by the states. A decision in favor of the plaintiffs in King v. Burwell would most likely cripple the ACA in over thirty states and deprive millions of people of health insurance.
That the Supreme Court even agreed to hear the case is the result of an improbable conjunction of events. Two committed opponents of the ACA seized upon four words of the law out of almost 1000 pages, and through their persistent and energetic work, created a powerful soundbite that appealed to die-hard opponents of the ACA. They then took that sound bite and dressed it up in highly technical arguments about statutory interpretation that might well change how healthcare is paid for in the United States. But the soundbite is inaccurate, and the technical window dressing shouldn't obscure the fact that the argument is based on a faulty reading of the text of the entire law as well as a misleading account of how and why the law was passed. At bottom, King v. Burwell is a political challenge to the ACA dressed up in legal garb.
The former speaker of the House is charged with lying to federal agents and evading financial reporting requirements, reportedly while attempting to conceal past sexual misconduct.
Updated on May 29, 2015, at 4:05 p.m.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert has been indicted on charges of lying to FBI agents and evading federal financial-reporting requirements, reportedly while paying a man to cover up past sexual misconduct.
Hastert, an Illinois Republican, was speaker from 1999 to 2007. BuzzFeed's John Stanton notes that there were several high-profile congressional scandals in those years. Illinois is also a notorious hotbed for political corruption, as Roland Burris, Rod Blagojevich, George Ryan, and Jesse Jackson Jr. can attest.
But Hastert's indictment seems to involve a darker story than political corruption. In or about 2010, according to the indictment, Hastert—a former high-school teacher and coach—met with an unnamed individual from Yorkville, Hastert's hometown. They "discussed past misconduct by defendant against Individual A that had occurred years earlier." In effect, Hastert fell victim to blackmail, the indictment alleges: He "agreed to provide Individual A $3.5 million in order to compensate for and conceal his prior misconduct against Individual A." (Since leaving the House, Hastert has become a highly paid lobbyist.)
New research confirms what they say about nice guys.
Smile at the customer. Bake cookies for your colleagues. Sing your subordinates' praises. Share credit. Listen. Empathize. Don't drive the last dollar out of a deal. Leave the last doughnut for someone else.
Sneer at the customer. Keep your colleagues on edge. Claim credit. Speak first. Put your feet on the table. Withhold approval. Instill fear. Interrupt. Ask for more. And by all means, take that last doughnut. You deserve it.
Follow one of those paths, the success literature tells us, and you'll go far. Follow the other, and you'll die powerless and broke. The only question is, which is which?
Of all the issues that preoccupy the modern mind—Nature or nurture? Is there life in outer space? Why can't America field a decent soccer team?—it's hard to think of one that has attracted so much water-cooler philosophizing yet so little scientific inquiry. Does it pay to be nice? Or is there an advantage to being a jerk?
Imagine a world where everyone sleeps well, because no one sleeps together.

Grazing incidence grating from the Extreme Ultraviolet scanning spectrometer. Part of the detector system for this series of monochrometers flown on sounding rockets by the Air Force in the late 1950s through the 1970s. This instrument obtained the spectrum as an electrical signal in contrast to the earlier spectrometers that recorded spectra on photographic film. It was designed to acquire the extreme ultraviolet part of the spectrum of the sun by scanning the solar spectrum that had been dispersed from a diffraction grating. A special high-work-function photocathode scanned the spectral region from 250 to 1300 Angstroms, and the signal was amplified in the tube by a cascade amplifier, whose design was intermediate between dynodes and the later chaneltrons. This spectrometer (serial number 53) dates back to 1971 and was built by the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory under the direction of Hans Hintereggar. This is an actual flight instrument that may have flown on an Aerobee rocket. The U.S. Air Force transferred this to NASM in 1990.

Funds will advance the search for new treatment options and improve patient care
SEATTLE — Sept. 26, 2014 — More than 3,000 walkers filled Seattle Center's Next 50 Plaza on Sept. 20 for the 7th Annual Seattle Brain Cancer Walk. The walk raised more than $530,000, with 100 percent of the funds supporting research at the Ben & Catherine Ivy Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment at the Swedish Neuroscience Institute (Ivy Center).
"The Seattle Brain Cancer Walk is an opportunity to celebrate the patients and families who are all affected by this devastating disease," said Charles Cobbs, M.D., medical director of the Ivy Center. "The funds raised will make a direct impact on our research at the Ivy Center, and will help us push toward breakthroughs to better treat, and hopefully cure this disease."
According to the American Brain Tumor Association, brain tumors are the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Americans under the age of 20; the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men ages 20-39; and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women ages 20-39.
Prior to the opening of the Ivy Center in 2008, clinical trials for patients with brain tumors were extremely limited in the Pacific Northwest. To date, the Ivy Center has provided access to 15 community-based clinical trials of experimental new therapies for patients diagnosed with brain cancer.

Recent Sierra Shores Reviews
We stayed wtih another family in the unit (6 of us) and absoultely loved our time in the rental. The unit was very, very clean and in great condition. It is even nicer than the pictures show. The staff was great whenever we needed anything and the other guests were fun too. We would definitely recommend and return to Sierra Shores!
Sierra Shores is absolutely a wonderful, relaxing getaway for any family. We have made this a regular desitnation now, for going on 5 years. The ground-keepers and gardeners are continuiing to maintain the property beautifully. Housekeeping, as well, is maintaining the interior of the property to 'new' status. Furnishings - linens, towels, furniture, kitchen items - all well maintained and beautiful. The overall scene is serene and peaceful. The staff is fine, with Lisa, truly being a staff member you can rely on to serve you and make your stay outstanding. We only needed her once during our stay, to renew a light bulb and add pillow cases. She responded quickly and with the 'Ritz Carlton' service and care. We did have a few issues this year - with appliances, screen doors and sundry items - we went out and purchased sundry supplies. We think at $1,300 / night, these items should be non-issues. Recommended restaurants: Dinner - Scuza's, Cafe Fiore, Nephele's Breakfast / lunch - Red Hut, Beach Hut Deli Activities - lounging in a beautiful environment, on the beach or your patio (highly recommended); parasailing, wave runners, peddle boats, paddle boards, bike riding, hiking, motor boats - there's just tons of activities to choose from. Also, Harvey's has an outdoor Summer Concert Series and sometimes you may catch a fantastic group and enjoy the tunes under the stars - that's really fun!. You will certainly enjoy and appreciate Sierra Shores, its location on the lake, the private beach, beautiful accomodations - all comprise an exquisite development creation. We call it a Gem on South Shore.

Interpretive Handbook
80946 :
N-Acetylgalactosamine-6-Sulfate Sulfatase, Fibroblasts
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA, (MPS IVA, Morquio A syndrome) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by reduced or absent N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme activity. The mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of disorders caused by the deficiency of any of the enzymes involved in the stepwise degradation of dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, or chondroitin sulfate (glycosaminoglycans, GAGs). Accumulation of GAGs (previously called mucopolysaccharides) in lysosomes interferes with normal functioning of cells, tissues, and organs.
Clinical features and severity of symptoms of MPS IVA are widely variable, but may include skeletal dysplasia, short stature, dental anomalies, corneal clouding, respiratory insufficiency, and cardiac disease. Intelligence is usually normal. Estimates of the incidence of Morquio A syndrome range from 1 in 200,000 to 1 in 300,000 live births.
A diagnostic workup in an individual with MPS IVA typically demonstrates elevated levels of urinary GAGs and increased keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate detected on thin-layer chromatography. Morquio B is a genetically distinct disorder caused by a deficiency of beta-galactosidase and has a significant number of overlapping clinical features with Morquio A. Enzyme analysis is necessary to distinguish between the 2 types. Reduced or absent activity of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase enzyme in leukocytes and/or fibroblasts can confirm a diagnosis of MPS IVA. Sequencing of the GALNS gene allows for detection of disease-causing mutations in affected patients and identification of familial mutations allows for testing of at-risk family members.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assisting in the diagnosis of Morquio A disease
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Very low enzyme levels are consistent with Morquio A disease.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The test cannot be used to establish carrier status for Morquio A disease.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

At the ASPCA, we see many feline victims of High Rise Syndrome each year, but perhaps none so lucky as three-year-old Pereque, who miraculously survived a fall from a five-story apartment building window right onto a spiked fence.
After his fall, Pereque's pet parent rushed him to the ASPCA Animal Hospital, where he underwent surgery with ASPCA Director of Surgery Dr. J'mai Gayle that same day.
Pereque sustained only non-life threatening injuries—in fact, he didn't even have a broken bone! Fortunately for Pereque, the spikes on the fence just missed his femoral artery, and all of his major organs were unharmed.
ASPCA Veterinarian Dr. Laura Niestat also treated Pereque during his stay at AAH and released him to his pet parent three days later.
"I believe he ultimately did quite well," Dr. Gayle says.
We're so glad we were able to treat this resilient kitty when he needed us most!
For more information about our emergency veterinary care services, please visit the ASPCA Animal Hospital online.
Wow! That is amazing. Get well soon kitty.
This is wonderful story to read. Sometimes all I can focus on are the negative aspects-like animal abuse and neglect. This is a story that reminds me that there are great things that happen, too!
I am now not certain where you are getting your information, but great topic. I needs to spend a while studying more or working out more. Thank you for great info I used to be on the lookout for this information for my mission.
I admire the valuable information you offer in your content articles. I will bookmark your weblog.

I think that every idiot who is caught abusing an animal should go straight to jail without parol. And instead of animals being used for research, we should take and use the abusers in place of animals. just saying!see rebelmouse.com for how to write a cover letter
This cat is so fortunate to have survived. And to the person that thinks it did not happen the way the owner says it did, please do not judge people without knowing the people, and the facts. Why would they rush the cat to the hospital if they meant for it to be hurt. This is what is wrong with this world; people doing God's job, which is to judge

Apple out of ideas?
Ok, to begin, this is NOT an Apple bashing thread. Here goes:
I think Apple's out of ideas. Forget who's running the show or how much Apple is worth right now, let's look at why I think Apple is quite possibly doomed for a crash:
1)Apple has been eating off the iOS gravy train for 3+ years now. The iPod, then the iPhone, and the last 3 years has been the iPad. Getting pretty old. It's the same 90% features on 3 different physical devices.
2)Building on #1, Apple hasn't introduced anything earth shattering since the iPhone and even then Apple released the iPod Touch which is the iPhone minus the phone. Again, iOS is the same no matter what device you're on, limited by hardware characteristics of course. The new Macs that roll out ever year? Nah...Apple has basically given up on the Mac line. And why has it been well over a year since an iMac update?...without even the foggiest hint of at LEAST a release date? Sure, Apple will gladly take your money if you choose a Mac, but Apple has clearly no intention of being a computer company...Apple wants to be a consumer electronics company like Sony that also dabbles in computers...and that's perfectly fine.
3)There have been rumors for a long time about how Apple is somehow going to revolutionize television. This started years ago when Apple released the AppleTV (which I just bought since they finally incorporated 1080p when the 1080p technology has been on every HD tv since 2001). The last year or so it's been more focused on some magical TV. So Apple is now going to kill AppleTV or???? There's going to be some expensive (let's face it, it's not going to be cheap) Apple branded HD tv that we buy that somehow makes us feel "wow, the last 20+ years of how I watched TV was sooooo difficult or annoying")? I don't believe it. I have my dvr functionality...I have hd offerings...I have a trillion channels on the lowest cable package...I have program guides to help me find things...I have premium channels if I want them. I really don't see how an Apple experience is going to make me that much happier...or what the backlash will be from my ISP if I now start "streaming" all my tv content over the "internet connection" instead of using their dedicated tv infrastructure.
Overall I think Apple, albeit with a ton of money in the bank, is scratching its head. Sure, iPad 4.0 will be out in 8 months or so...iPhone 5 will be out this Fall...and someday maybe an iMac update. But where are the NEW products? Apple can only keep "upgrading" its products for so long before a)market saturation (like the iPod line a few years ago hit) occurs for iPhone and iPad and b)consumers get bored of no new Apple products. Apple doesn't need to have 49 products, but really it has 2 families (iOS and Mac) with a total of 10-11 products (1 iPhone, 2 iMacs, 1 Mini, 2 laptops, 4 iPods, 1 iPad). It's also quite debatable just how different an iPhone is from an iPad as well as the iPod Touch...so really it's more like 7-8 products.
I like Apple...but I fail to see what Apple is going to spring on us next. If the rumors are right it is a TV. But do you really think folks are going to dump their beautiful (insert brand/size/style HD tv here) $800-$3000 HD tv for an Apple version?

The future isn't about packing your bags with more hardware. It's about integration and connectivity and that's where all the good work is still yet to be done.
People in all jobs and in their daily affairs want to access information, make requests and get things done without having to wait for a queue. They want to be able to do that at any hour of the day or night and they want to be able to do it from any point they stand on the planet.
Huge amount of work to make all that seamless, and fast. I would say Apple have a long way to go yet. All tech companies do. What we have now is decent stuff, but nothing really is performing at a speed or precision that wows us.
You probably typed your original post from a device with an optical drive in it Stoneage
|Jun 4, 2012, 03:46 PM
Is the iPad worthless? Of course not. But let's be realistic...the iPad and iPhone and Touch share 90% of the features. Anything that is missing is simply due to lack of hardware (such as that the Touch and iPad cannot make phone calls).
You can't be talking about AppleTV. It's ok...I have it. There are ton of other devices on the market that a)do the same thing b)do more and c)were out much earlier than the ATV.

3D is a waste of time (for me at least).
I feel like Apple's big thing will be 4K for TVs and hopefully do something about the cable/content providers' vertical integration.

Although I won't attack you for bashing apple. I will say your very uneducated in relation with Apple. To think they are out of ideas is just plain silly. The iOS has been a huge hit, the emergence of the ipad has been huge. Also TV will be huge. America is tv. Your just not using your imagination. Of course you think apple is out of ideas. That's why they are creating the products and software and we sit and wait. They aren't going to release the biggest game changer every year. Or they would be their own worst enemy eventually when they actually can't innovate at the same pace.. Silly thread
|Jun 4, 2012, 04:01 PM
OP : Hang around for a few weeks because Apple is moving into YOUR house and ain't leaving.

This thread was to question what is APPLE DOING rather than what I may have for new product tips.
But here are a few ideas for Apple that I have had a few years now:
1)Where's the true living room experience? A real stereo receiver with loss-less quality and integration? All Apple has managed to do is let me plug my iXXX into my receiver's Stereo IN jack. Recently the Apple Air (or whatever it's called) has answered about 10% of the solution. Since Apple is very consumer electronics focused, why not be like Bose and have a nice lineup of home A/V products?
2)More personal computer desktop options. iMac is nice but it forces me to dump my nice LCD monitor and invest $1000+ in Apple. How about bringing back some more of the traditional desktops where I can buy the Apple box and use my wonderful monitor for years? The Mini is an answer, but it's about $900 once you add the keyboard, mouse, and any converters to work with your monitor...not to mention the deathly slow 5400RPM drive and obvious hardware limitations due to its size.
3)How about a gaming platform? Apple's been pitching games since the Touch arrived and there are no serious games. Why not have some $399 box like Xbox or PS3 or Wii or whatever else?
Again, I'm not here to give Apple all sorts of ideas. It's their business. But for all the naysayers of my original post, iOS is iOS. Apple can sell an iOS toaster and the naysayers would say it revolutionizes the world.
I'd really like to see what Apple is going to bring to market by late 2013.

1)There really was no tablet industry in 2010
2)That was 2010. We're mid 2012 and well into the 3rd version of iPad. What do you think will be in the iPad 4 next spring? Let me guess...a newer iOS, some kind of Siri, faster CPU, maybe some more model choices.
And just like when the iPod revolutionized the handheld music device market, the iPad has revolutionized the tablet industry. That was years ago and version 1.0 while we're now on version 3.0. I'm not saying iPad will fail but while Apple is releasing versions 4,5, and 6 of the iPad over the next 2-3 years, what ELSE is Apple releasing or release in say, 2013 or 2014?
Many of the posts here say I don't believe XYZ was revolutionized or that Apple did a great job in the past. That's not what I'm saying. I'm questioning what Apple is GOING to release in the future that is NOT just another iOS handheld device.

|Jun 4, 2012, 04:17 PM
Not to mention I already can and do use my 2010 MBP's digital audio out all the time connected to my receiver.
I've never understood the "macs suck at gaming" thing. This was true years ago when no games existed for the mac OS. Not so much now.
|Jun 4, 2012, 04:18 PM
|Jun 4, 2012, 04:19 PM
OP : I understand your questioning.
I dont think Apple wants to get into the audio receiver market. They will never be a Panasonic or Sony. This isn't what Apple does or ever did before.
Now if they get into the living room with a HDTV/Social Entertainment device wow !
But I think you should consider their lack of updates for most computers to be a sign of new things coming.
In other words I believe Apple is getting ready to burst at the seems with some new and revolutionary stuff.

Organic Farming
Organic Farming
Organic farming and agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony.
Practices used in organic farming to promote sustainability and reduce resource consumption includes elimiating the use of pesticides and herbicides; enhanced irrigation practices and regulated animal handling practices (use of antibiotics, etc.).
According to the USDA's Organic Certification requirements, organic products have strict production and labeling requirements. Unless noted below, organic products must meet the following requirements:
- Produced without excluded methods (e.g., genetic engineering), ionizing radiation, or sewage sludge.
- Produced per the National List of Allowed and
