Snuff: A Novel of Discworld
Snuff: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market Paperback)
At long last, Lady Sybil has lured her husband, Sam Vimes, on a well-deserved holiday away from the crime and grime of Ankh-Morpork. But for the commander of the City Watch, a vacation in the country is anything but relaxing. The balls, the teas, the muck—not to mention all that fresh air and birdsong—are more than a bit taxing on a cynical city-born and -bred copper.
Yet a policeman will find a crime anywhere if he decides to look hard enough, and it's not long before a body is discovered, and Sam—out of his jurisdiction, out of his element, and out of bacon sandwiches (thanks to his well-meaning wife)—must rely on his instincts, guile, and street smarts to see justice done. As he sets off on the chase, though, he must remember to watch where he steps. . . . This is the countryside, after all, and the streets most definitely are not paved with gold.

Praise for Snuff: A Novel of Discworld…
"In short, this is as busy and as daft as any other Discworld yarn, which means it is the quintessence of daft. Nobody writes fantasy funnier than Pratchett."
"This account of Unseen University's entry into the world of soccer (or, as they occasionally call it, "foot-the-ball") pushes past the usual conventions of satire to offer equal parts absurdist philosophy and heartwarming romance....A witty addition to the long-running fantasy series"
-Kirkus Reviews
"A triumphant effort."
-The Independent on Sunday
"Like Pratchett, [narrator Stephen Briggs] loves the comic rhythm, sound, and very taste of words-just for their own sake. So order up a tuna-spaghetti-jam sandwich (with sprinkles) and be prepared for a wonderful time."
-AudioFile Magazine
"Thirty-seven books in and ... Discworld is still going strong...and doing so with undimmed, triumphant exuberance. "
-The Guardian
"…[SNUFF is a] lively outing, complete with sly shout-outs to Jane Austen and gritty police procedurals."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The humor is sharp and the characters are charming, and the plight of the goblins creates moments of genuine pathos that are the highlight of the book."
"Brilliantly complex."
-The Straits Times
"In the history of comic fantasy, Mr. Pratchett has no equals for invention or for range. "
-Wall Street Journal
"Series followers will delight in this latest entry. . . . Pratchett's fun, irreverent-seeming story line masks a larger discussion of social inequalities and the courage it takes to stand up for the voiceless."
-Library Journal
"Funny, of course, but with plenty of hard edges; and, along with the excellent lessons in practical police work, genuine sympathy for the ordinary copper's lot. . . . A treat no fan of Discworld—and there are boatloads of them—will want to miss."

The Origins of Messianism: Social Perspectives
A distinguished scholar of early Judaism and Christian origins, Alan F. Segal is the Ingeborg Rennert Professor of Jewish Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University. He is the author of Two Powers in Heaven: Early Rabbinic Reports About Christianity and Gnosticism (1977), Rebecca's Children: Judaism and Christianity in the Roman World (1986), and Paul the Convert: The Apostasy and Apostolate of Saul the Pharisee (1990). He is currently working on a book examining conceptions of life after death in ancient Judaism and Christianity. Segal's work has been recognized by fellowships from the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the J. S. Guggenheim Foundation. In the summer of 1988 he became the first Jewish member of the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas to address the society. With extensive knowledge of comparative religion, rabbinic Judaism, and early Christianity, Segal will examine the origins of messianic thought and the social forces which gave rise to Christianity's identification of Jesus as the Messiah.
Alan Segal's appearance at the Athenaeum is third in the Gould Center's series on the theme of Messiahs and the Millennium.
A Revolution in Congress
What Do We Know About Presidential Elections?
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1999 12:15 p.m.
Nelson W. Polsby, a leading authority on the United States Presidency and Congress, comes to Claremont as part of the Podlich Distinguished Visitors Program, hosted this year by the CMC government department. In his first lecture, "A Revolution In Congress," Polsby will examine recent trends in Congress by asking: "Where did Newt Gingrich come from? Where has he gone?" In his second lecture, "What Do We Know About Presidential Elections?", Polsby will summarize his four-decade, in-depth study of presidential elections.
Polsby is Heller Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley, where he has taught American politics and government since 1967. From 1988-99 he served as director of the Institute for Governmental Studies at Berkeley. He earned his B.A. at Johns Hopkins, his M.A. at Brown, and his Ph.D. at Yale. Polsby is editor of the Annual Review of Political Science, political science editor of The International Encyclopedia of Social and Behavioral Sciences, former managing editor of the American Political Science Review, and currently serves on editorial boards of four scholarly journals. Having written or edited eighteen books, his works include Congress and the Presidency (4th ed., 1986), Political Innovation in America (1984), The Consequences of Party Reform (1983), Presidential Elections (9th ed., 1996), and The New Federalist Papers (1997).
The Politics of China's Nuclear Policy
The shifting history of relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China has long been a vital component of American foreign policy and also of the complex world of international relations in general. With the advent of the nuclear age and the spread of nuclear arms to the Asian region, the stakes have only risen higher.
In his lecture James Mann will examine how China's nuclear weapons program has impacted the history of diplomacy between China and the U.S., as well as the development of American perceptions of Asia from the 1960s to the present.
A distinguished journalist, Mann has more than ten years of experience reporting exclusively on Asia. He served as chief of the Beijing bureau of the Los Angeles Times from 1984-87 and as a state department correspondent specializing in Asian Affairs in the Washington, D.C. bureau from 1987-94. He is currently serving as a foreign affairs columnist for the Los Angeles Times.
Mann received a B.A. in social relations from Harvard College in 1968. He took a leave of absence from Harvard Medical School and embarked on a highly successful career in journalism. Mann's lucid and insightful reporting on one of the most crucial areas in American foreign policy has brought him wide recognition. Mann was a guest scholar of the Woodrow Wilson International Center from 1996-97, has twice won first place for diplomatic reporting from the National Press Club, and recently received the 1999 Edwin Weintal award for diplomatic reporting.
Mann's acclaimed first book, Beijing Trip: The Short, Unhappy Romance of American Business in China, was published in 1989. His second book, About Face: A History of America Curious Relationship with China from Nixon to Clinton, was published this year.
James Mann's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
Latino Health in California: Window on the Future
David Hayes-Bautista is Professor of Medicine and director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health at the UCLA School of Medicine. Professor Hayes-Bautista's research focuses on the dynamics and process of the health of the Latino population using both quantitative data and qualitative observations. The Center combines these research interests with the teaching of medical students, residents, and practicing providers to manage the care of a Latino patient base effectively, efficiently, and economically.
Hayes-Bautista is coauthor of the book The Burden of Support: Young Latinos in an Aging Society (1988) as well as a more recent study of Latinos utilizing a five-decade database drawn from U.S. Census sources. In contrast to stereotypes of poverty and victimization, Hayes-Bautista found that Latinos, compared to Anglos, had the highest percentage of labor force participation, worked more hours per week, worked more in the private sector, and were more likely to form two-parent families with children.
Professor Hayes-Bautista obtained his M.A. and Ph.D. in medical sociology at the University of California Medical Center, San Francisco. His published works appear in Family Medicine, the American Journal of Public Health, Family Practice, Medical Care, and Salud Publica de Mexico. Professor Hayes-Bautista's lecture is part of the Athenaeum's Healthcare 2020 theme in conjunction with the government department's Organization of Health Care and Public Policy course taught by Professors Fred Lynch and Judith Merkle.
The Limits of the Market Economy with Respect to Public Goods or Why Ecological Economics?
For most of the history of our planet, there was a superabundance of natural resources and ecosystem services. As civilization began to develop, the allocation of resources became one of the primary functions of society to help it grow and prosper. The market economy developed in response to this need for an efficient allocation of resources and has performed exceptionally well in this capacity. Now, however, the relative abundance of natural resources and the strength of ecosystem processes is rapidly declining. Consumer goods are becoming superabundant, and ecosystem services are growing scarce. Unfortunately, ecosystem services are often goods that are nondepletable and nonexcludable (such as climate regulation and the ozone layer). Because these goods are nonexcludable, there is no incentive at the market level to work towards their conservation, or to develop substitutes in response to their increasing scarcity. If we want to keep these ecological services intact, we must push for policy that makes industry, agriculture, and consumers pay the real costs of their consumption.
Josh Farley is one of a few pioneers in the emerging field of ecological economics, an interdisciplinary field that studies both market systems and ecological systems holistically. After completing his B.A. in biology at Grinnell, Farley spent 18 months exploring Latin America on his own recognizance. The experience convinced him to shift his focus to international development, and upon his return to the U.S. he earned a M.A. from Columbia University in international and public affairs, with a focus on economic and political development. Upon completing his master's degree, Farley began work on a Ph.D. in agricultural, resource, and managerial economics at Cornell. Frustrated with the neoclassical approach to economics stressed at Cornell, he switched his focus to ecological economics (an emerging discipline he had been exposed to at a conference in Brazil), After successfully defending his dissertation, he journeyed to the rainforest of the Atherton Tablelands in Queensland, Australia, where he taught ecological economics and applied research techniques for The SchoolField Studies. When offered the opportunity to work for the Institute for Ecological Economics, the premier institution studying this emerging discipline, Farley returned to the States.
Farley's career is an example of how physical exploration can lead to clarity of internal vision. By actively pursuing answers in nature, he refined his economic vision and his own personal beliefs. It is an honor to welcome Josh Farley as part of our series on Environmental Activism, sponsored by the Roberts Environmental Center.
Moral Leadership in the Age of Globalization
4:00 p.m. McKENNA AUDITORIUM
A prerequisite for lasting peace is the realization of democratic ideals, with freedom and equality for all. Oscar Arias is a strong spokesman for those ideals. The importance of his work for peace will extend beyond Central America.
-The Nobel Prize Committee
Dr. Oscar Arias was president of Costa Rica from 1986 to 1990 and won the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize. He was the driving force behind the Esquipulas II Accords, which resulted in the Agreement to Establish a Firm and Lasting Peace in Central America. He remains a strong force for peace in the world.
Oscar Arias was born in 1940 in Heredia, Costa Rica. After a short stint at Boston University, he completed his undergraduate study in law and economics at the University of Costa Rica. He was politically active as a student, working for the National Liberation Party (NLP). He completed his graduate work in England at the University of Essex and the London School of Economics. A professor at his undergraduate alma mater, he was appointed the Costa Rican Minister of Planning and Economic Policy in 1972. In 1978 Arias won election to the Costa Rican Congress and he became Secretary General of the NLP in 1981. He won the presidential election in 1986 by 6.5% of the vote.
President Elect Arias did not wait for his inauguration to begin the process of bringing peace to Cold War-torn Central America and in August 1987 the presidents of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua joined him in signing the "Arias Peace Plan." The agreement stressed democratic government, political freedom, the rejection of outside interference in internal difficulties, freedom of the press, and the refusal to negotiate with armed groups. It was the vital first step in bringing peace to the region.
Dr. Arias was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize later that year and used the monetary award to establish the Arias Foundation for Peace and Human Progress. The foundation focuses on issues of gender equality, civil participation, and demilitarization. Last May Dr. Arias, along with seven other Nobel Laureates and a number of international organizations, proposed an International Code of Conduct on Arms Transfers. This agreement would prevent arms-exporting nations from selling weapons to repressive or aggressive countries.
Dr. Arias will address the topic "Moral Leadership in the Age of Globalization" in honor of the inauguration of CMC President Pamela Brooks Gann.
Leaders in higher education and international affairs will join Claremont McKenna College faculty to examine the unique academic mission of the College at a daylong symposium on Friday, October 22.
The symposium has been organized around the theme "Focusing Liberal Arts: Tradition, Leadership, Innovation" and is a central event in the three-day campus celebration culminating with the installation of Pamela B. Gann as the fourth president of Claremont McKenna College.
"Claremont McKenna College owes much of its success to the vision of its founders, who established a liberal arts college with a core curriculum and focus on preparing students for responsible leadership in business, government, and the professions," says Anthony Fucaloro, dean of the faculty and chairman of the Presidential Inauguration Committee. "This symposium will allow us to bring students and faculty together to explore the mission and share ideas on how to apply it to the challenges of a new generation.
In collaboration with the inauguration committee, the symposium (schedule below) has been coordinated by a task force of CMC faculty chaired by James Nichols, professor of government. Symposium panels have been organized by Ronald E. Riggio, Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology and director of the Kravis Leadership Institute, and William Brown, assistant professor of economics. The faculty members on the inauguration committee include Fucaloro; Jay Martin, Edward S. Gould Professor of the Humanities and director of the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies; John K. Roth, Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy; and Janet Smith, professor of economics. Each session will include presentations by the panelists followed by a moderated discussion with the audience of faculty, students, and other visitors.

Session Details
This session explains how to create sequences of transactions, sequences of sequences, and how to start a sequence from a test.
Acceleration are techniques that are used to address performance shortcomings of traditional simulation. For example, the design model (i.e., DUT) can be mapped into a hardware accelerator and run much faster during verification, while the testbench continues to run in simulation on a workstation. In this section of the Verification Academy, we focus on building verification acceleration skills.
Coverage is a simulation metric we use to measure verification progress and completeness.
Verification languages are the foundation of the very dynamic electronics industry. Industry continually demands improvements in the process of providing differentiated products into their markets. These verification language courses provide in-depth knowledge of key design and verification languages so that you can identify and deploy them in your upcoming projects.
This topic area focuses on formal-based techniques, ranging from formal property checking to clock-domain crossing (CDC) verification. Assertion-based verification (as it relates to formal property checking) is also covered in this topic area.
The definition of what FPGA really means has changed dramatically over the last two decades. Whether blazing the trail or being on the trailing edge of Moore's Law, this is an exciting time to be an FPGA Designer. New opportunities bring new challenges for the FPGA market. As devices grow and become more complex resembling complete systems, the task of verifying such a system becomes daunting. In this section you will find timely, unbiased information from subject-matter experts that will help you navigate through this ever-changing landscape.
This topic area focuses on the early stages of a verification project. Topics include considerations for analyzing and evolving your verification capabilities, verification planning, and the introduction of metrics into a flow to measure success.
This topic area focuses on simulation-based techniques, ranging from stimulus generation, coverage modeling, and correctness checking. Building a contemporary testbench using UVM is also covered in this topic area.
Welcome to the most complete UVM/OVM Online resource collection.
Here you'll find everything you need to get up to speed on UVM, OVM and latest additions; UVM Express and UVM Connect. Whether it's downloading the kit(s), discussion forums or online or in-person training. The UVM/OVM Academy Courses provide a great overview of the introductory and advanced methodology concepts, including videos that walk you through some useful code examples.
The Advanced OVM course's goal is to improve your understanding of OVM so you can move beyond basic block-level testbenches.
Advanced UVM builds upon the concepts covered in the Basic UVM course to take your UVM understanding to the next level.
This course will introduce the various techniques available in AMS design environment to help understand how to efficiently utilize them.
This course introduces a set of steps for advancing an organization's assertion-based-verification (ABV) skills, infrastructure, and metrics.
Basic OVM is primarily aimed at existing VHDL and Verilog engineers or managers who recognize they have a functional verification problem.
Basic UVM should raise a user's level of UVM knowledge to the point where users have sufficient confidence in their own technical understanding that it becomes less of a barrier to adoption.
This course introduces a set of steps for advancing an organization's clock-domain crossing (CDC) verification skills, infrastructure, and metrics.
This course introduces techniques for addressing complexity by evolving your organization's FPGA verification process capabilities.
This course provides a common framework for all advanced functional verification courses contained within the Verification Academy.
This course will introduce the various modeling practices available in AMS design environment to help understand how to efficiently utilize them.
This course will introduce some methodologies available in AMS design environments that could help quantify the quality of the AMS verification process.
This course provides a complete introduction to Intelligent Testbench Automation (iTBA), showing how you can achieve your coverage goals >10X faster.
The Introduction to the UVM course will guide you from rudimentary SystemVerilog through a complete UVM testbench.
This course identifies a range of metrics across multiple aspects of today's SoC functional verification process.
This course introduces the IEEE Std 1801 Unified Power Format (UPF) for specification of active power management architectures and covers the use of UPF in simulation-based power aware verification.
This course will give you the confidence required to start the process of investigating and creating a single testbench environment for both simulation and hardware-assisted acceleration.
This course advocates that functional verification through modern SystemC testbenches paired with co-emulation enables further verification productivity improvements.
UVM Connect will demonstrate how to reuse your SystemC architectural models and/or reuse SystemVerilog UVM agents to verify models in SystemC.
UVM Express enables full UVM migration or co-existence at any time. UVM Express is organized in a way that allows progressive adoption and a value proposition with each step.
This course wil define terms, logically divide up the verification effort, and lay the foundation for actual verification planning and management on a real project.
VHDL-2008 matters because it facilitates advanced verification, adds reusable data structures, simplifies RTL coding and adds fixed and floating point math packages. VHDL-2008 is the largest change to VHDL since 1993.
The UVM Discussion Forum focuses on questions related to the Universal Verification Methodology.
The OVM Discussion Forum focuses on questions related to the Open Verification Methodology.
The SystemVerilog Discussion Forum focuses on questions related to SystemVerilog and other Languages.
The Coverage Discussion Forum focuses on questions related to Coverage.
The Coverage Cookbook describes the different types of coverage that are available to keep track of the progress of the verification process, how to create a functional coverage model from a specification, and provides examples of how to implement functional coverage for different types of designs.
The UVM library is both a collection of classes and a methodology for how to use those base classes. UVM brings clarity to the SystemVerilog language by providing a structure for how to use the features in SystemVerilog. However, in many cases UVM provides multiple mechanisms to accomplish the same work.
The OVM is an open source SystemVerilog class library that was the outcome of a collaboration between Mentor Graphics and Cadence Design Systems. There are three main reasons why you should consider using the OVM and these are productivity, commercial considerations and enablement.
Join the Verification Academy Subject Matter Experts for the latest Functional Verification topics.
Join the Verification Academy Subject Matter Experts for recorded seminars covering topics including; UVM, Formal Based Verification, Coverage, UPF and Power Aware, Verification IP, Stimulus Generation and Debug.
Every two years, Mentor Graphics commissions Wilson Research Group to conduct a broad, vendor-independent survey of design verification practices around the world.
The Verification Academy focuses on key aspects of advanced functional verification, including: UVM/OVM, Coverage, Assertion-Based Verification, Verification Management, CDC Verification, Acceleration, FPGA Verification, and more.
The Verification Academy will provide you with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of how to mature your organization's processes so that you can then reap the benefits that advanced functional verification offers.
The Verification Horizons publication expands upon verification topics to provide concepts, values, methodologies and examples to assist with the understanding of what these advanced functional verification technologies can do and how to most effectively apply them.
This session explains how to create sequences of transactions, sequences of sequences, and how to start a sequence from a test.

White House Honors Four Federal Teams for $72 Million in Energy Savings
October 23, 2008
The White House recognized energy management teams from four federal entities on October 22 with Presidential Awards for Leadership in Federal Energy Management, which honored the teams for their support, leadership, and work in promoting and improving energy use in their facilities. The teams included 44 federal employees and contractors that were collectively responsible for reducing the federal government's annual energy use by 3 trillion Btu—roughly equal to the annual energy use of 32,000 average U.S. households—for an annual cost savings of about $72 million. Teams from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), and the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration were chosen from nominations sent to DOE, which were reviewed by a panel of judges before being recommended to the president.
HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing achieved the greatest savings by using energy performance contracting, in which the contractor invests in the energy efficiency upgrades and is paid back over a period of time through a portion of the energy savings. The office awarded contracts in fiscal year 2007 under which $121 million will be invested in energy efficiency projects to achieve guaranteed annual energy savings of $68 million, an 80% increase over the guaranteed energy saving's of the previous year's contracts. To date, more than 201,800 public housing units have been renovated under the office's energy performance contracts.
The other three awardees include the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, which used a full-time resource efficiency manager to reduce the base's energy intensity by 9.5% from the previous year, saving almost $1.4 million per year; the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, which developed an agency-wide energy management initiative to invest more than $7.5 million in energy efficiency projects over the last two fiscal years, reducing energy intensity by 6% last year while cutting energy costs by $2 million per year; and GSA's Pacific Energy and Sustainability team, which completed energy projects at nine facilities that encompass 24 buildings. Along with lighting retrofits, the GSA team installed a 274-kilowatt solar power system and awarded a 10-year contract award for on-site solar power that will produce 740 megawatt-hours per year. See the DOE press release.

We're putting our 2013 calendar together right now, and staffers and volunteers representing all 12 months of the year have been photographed with their furry friends. There's only one big decision left to make, and we're leaving the answer up to you: Who should grace the calendar's cover?
We've narrowed down the field to four contenders. Check out the photos that are in the running, read a little about their sweet four-legged subjects, and then cast your vote for our 2013 Cover Dog or Cat. The pet whose photo gets the most votes will have his or her face in homes all over America!
The contest is now closed! Check back next year!
would really have liked to see photo's of cats and dogs together for the cover
It is always hard to pick, but I agree there should be dogs and cats together.
Any of these adorable pictures would have been great. I hope the other 3 that don't get on the cover get in the calendar.
Wish I could have chosen two. Love Buddy but also love the pic of Rocky!
With all the negative publicity about pit bulls, it would be nice to have them featured the calendar, yes, along with a cat or two.
They deserve all the publicity - the breed should be banned. My neighbors pit dug under the fence which I have lined with rock to try to protect myself from them. He dug in by the gate in the middle of the night - when I walked out of the house with my 3 Chinese cresteds, he attacked and killed my 17 pound hairless, toothless defenseless male instantly. Then went for my Puf before I shot him!
I agree 100% with you!:) they should put any or all of the bully breeds in calendars like this bc these types of dogs, esp Pits are the ones who fill the shelters the most.
I agree that it would be nice to have a Pit in here with some cats. There is so many negative issues surrounding this breed right now and it would be nice for people to view that there is a softer side to this breed. Its not the breed that is agressive, its the individual dog. Pits were bred as farm dogs, if they bit a human they were put down to wean out the aggressive temperament. The problem now is that people breed them for looks and their personal reasons. People are ruining this breed and they are amazing dogs to own. Just for the record my friends Pit got attacked by a golden retriever and had to be put down due to the injuries it sustained. Pit Bulls aren't the only dogs that can act out but they are the only attacks that seem to be publicized.
Why not a cover with all four photos? Would be terrific.
Need an outdoor photo of cats. The dogs have the advantage of the pretty background.

Parfum & Beaute ()
The Rose Dior Bagatelle collection designed by Victoire de Castellane pays homage to the flower that Monsieur Dior cultivated in his garden with such passion. The story began in 1906 in the hills above Granville in Normandy within the gardens on the property where the Dior family had recently settled. Around the villa, Christian Dior's mother built a lush garden from the ground up combining rare species of plants. It was young Christian who created and designed the rose garden. Throughout his life, the rose remained his favourite flower. It was key motif in his fashions (featured in prints, embroidery, brocades, etc.) and an essential note in his fragrances.
Furthermore, the very name of his childhood home – les Rhumbs – is also a subtle reference to the rose: it defines the cardinal divisions of space, which in French is called 'la rose des vents', or windrose. Therefore, the rose, which was so vital to the life and work of the designer, has also become essential to Dior Jewellery collections such as Rose Dior Bagatelle, which was inspired by both young Christian's original garden and the rose garden in the Parc de Bagatelle in Paris with its endless array of rose varieties. These jewelled flowers come in a harmony of symbolic colours.

Customer Raves & Reviews
I ordered the cards on a Thursday and received them the following Wednesday. I could not be more happy with the product and same goes for my handsome fiance. We really wanted to let everyone know it is a military (Air Force) style wedding due to how a good handful of the guests are a part of some military branch. We were able to personalize them to the way we wanted but ultimately, I only changed the content of the text and left most of it as it was because I ultimately loved the cards the way they were. I give it a 5 out of 5, definitely worth it.
Military Magnets
This magnet was perfect for us because we could show him in his military uniform! The magnets were beautiful and well made and they came in a timely fashion even though we are serving overseas. We are definitely looking at the invites in this series as well.

The story of Cotton Mather teaches that it is good for us all to keep alive the role of both divine and human communication when engaged in science.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
I want to lay out some of the key myths and indicate how Coyne's discussion can help Christians get a more accurate understanding of evolution.
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
In this three part series, geologist Stephen Moshier critiques John MacArthur's articles on uniformitarianism, while offering an alternative perspective on the principle. He exposes faulty conceptions about and misleading definitions of uniformitarianism. Gregory Bennett further defends the idea of an old earth as Biblical and focuses on the unchanging nature of God. He also discusses the Scriptural doctrines of creation and God's providence.
The only conclusions in science which are widely accepted are those which are supported by multiple, reinforcing lines of evidence – "all roads must lead to Rome". If there is even one scientific trajectory that seems to clearly lead off to Peoria instead of Rome, the scientific process demands that the scientist find out why.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
In this video, Brian McLaren discusses the idea of surrogate arguments, in which a debate over one thing is really a means for arguing something completely different. According to McClaren, the argument over the age of the earth is one such argument.
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.

Hamstring Stretch
Warm up with a five-minute walk. Then, stretch. Lie down. Loop a bed sheet around your right foot. Use sheet to help pull and stretch leg up. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat twice, then switch legs. Stretching is one of three important types of exercises for knee OA. Range of motion or stretching exercises keep you limber. Strengthening exercises build muscle strength to stabilize weak joints. Aerobic exercises, like walking, help lung and heart fitness.
Calf Stretch
Stretching exercises loosen muscles, improve flexibility, and help prevent pain and injury.
Use a chair for balance. Bend your right leg. Step back with left leg, slowly straightening it behind you. Press left heel towards the floor. Feel the stretch in your back leg.
For more of a stretch: Lean forward, bending the right knee deeper. Don't let the right knee go past your toes. Hold for 20 seconds. Do twice, then switch legs.
Straight Leg Raise
To try this leg strengthening move, lie on the floor. Prop your back up on your elbows. Bend your left knee, keeping foot on floor. Keep the right leg straight, toes pointed up. Tighten thigh muscles of your right leg. Slowly and smoothly use your thigh muscles -- not your back -- to raise your leg.
Pause, as seen above, for five seconds. With thigh still tight, slowly lower leg to ground. Relax. Repeat 10 times. Rest. Do another 10; then switch legs.
Quad Set
Is the straight leg raise too tough? Do quad sets instead. With these you don't raise your leg. Simply tighten the thigh muscles, also called the quadriceps, of one leg at a time.
Start by lying on the floor. Keep both legs on ground, relaxed. Flex and hold left leg tense for five seconds, as seen in right-hand photo. Relax. Do two sets of 10. Then, switch to other leg.
Seated Hip March
This move can strengthen hips and thigh muscles to help with daily activities, such as walking or rising from a chair.
Sit up straight in chair. Slightly kick back your left foot but keep toes on the floor. Lift your right foot off the floor, keeping knee bent. Hold right leg in the air five seconds. Slowly lower your foot to the ground. Repeat 10 times. Rest and do another 10, then switch legs. Too hard? Use your hands to help raise your leg.
Pillow Squeeze
This move helps strengthen the inside of your legs to help support your knee. Lie on your back, both knees bent. Place a pillow between knees.
Squeeze knees together, squishing pillow between them. Hold for five seconds. Relax. Repeat 10 times. Rest, then do another set of 10.
Too hard? You can also do this exercise while seated. See photo to right.
Heel Raise
Hold back of chair for support. Stand straight and tall. Lift heels off ground and rise up on toes of both feet. Hold for five seconds. Slowly lower both heels to ground. Repeat 10 times. Rest. Do another 10.
Too hard? Do the same exercise, only sitting in a chair.
Side Leg Raise
Hold back of chair for balance. Place your weight on left leg. Lift right leg out to the side. Keep right leg straight and outer leg muscles tensed. Don't slouch. Lower right leg and relax. Repeat 10 times. Rest. Do another 10, then repeat with left leg.
Too hard? Increase leg height over time. After a few workouts, you'll be able to raise your leg higher.
Sit to Stand
Practice this move to make standing easier. Place two pillows on chair. Sit on top, with your back straight, feet flat on floor (see left). Use your leg muscles to slowly and smoothly stand up tall. Then, slowly lower yourself back down to sitting. Be sure your bent knees don't move forward of your toes. Try with arms crossed (see left) or loose to your side.
Too hard? Add pillows or use a chair with armrests and help push up with your arms.
One Leg Balance
Your goal is to do this hands-free. Steady yourself on a chair, if needed. First, shift your body weight to one leg but do not lock your knee straight. Slowly raise the other foot off the ground, balancing on your standing leg. Hold for 20 seconds. Lower raised foot to the ground. Do twice, then switch legs. This move helps when getting out of cars or bending.
Too easy? Balance for a longer time. Or try with your eyes closed.
Step Ups
This move helps strengthen your legs for climbing stairs. Face a stable step, both feet on the ground. Step up with your left foot. Follow with your right foot. Stand on top, tall and with both feet flat. Climb down in reverse: right foot down first, then left. Do 10 times. Rest, then repeat another 10 times. Then repeat, starting with right leg first. Too hard? Use a railing, wall, or lamppost for balance. Or try a lower step.
With stiff or sore knees, walking may not seem like a great idea. But it's one of the best exercises for knee arthritis. It can reduce joint pain, strengthen leg muscles, and improve flexibility -- and it's good for your heart. The best part -- no gym membership needed.
Good form is key: Look forward, walk tall. Keep arms and legs moving, relaxed. Always ask your doctor before starting exercise when you have osteoarthritis.
Low-Impact Activities
Being active may also help you lose weight, which takes pressure off joints. Other exercises that are easy on the knees: biking, swimming, and water aerobics. Water exercise takes weight off painful joints. Many community and hospital wellness centers, YMCAs, and pools offer classes for people with arthritis.
Don't give up favorite activities, like golf. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about modifying painful moves.
How Much Exercise?
Start with a little. If you can do it without pain, do more next time. Aim for 30 minutes a day.
Over time you'll build your leg muscles to support your knee and increase flexibility.
Some muscle soreness is normal, but hurting or swollen joints need rest. Take a break and ask your doctor's advice. Ice painful joints and take acetaminophen or an anti-inflammatory pain reliever, like ibuprofen or naproxen, if your doctor says it's OK.

Project location
US 12, aka Wisconsin Dells Parkway (aka the strip), Wisconsin Dells and Lake Delton, in Sauk County.
Project overview
WisDOT is studying US 12 (Wisconsin Dells Parkway), from WIS 13 (Broadway St.) to WIS 23 (Munroe Ave./Whitlock St.) The 2.7 mile corridor runs parallel to I-90/94.
The city of Wisconsin Dells and the village of Lake Delton are popular family destinations not only for their numerous theme parks and attractions, but also for the geological beauty that exists in and around the area. The tourist environment results in a high volume of traffic as well as significant pedestrians and bicycle activity along the corridor.
The study will evaluate various alternatives to address these concerns and reconstruct the roadway in a manner that meets the needs of its users and remains an asset to this unique vacation destination.
Note - The information on this website is for this long-term corridor study. The US 12 Resurfacing Project is a separate improvement project AND is not part of this study.
- Planning started 2011 with ongoing design work.
- Study started Fall 2011 and scheduled to be completed Summer 2015 with final engineering scheduled 2016-2018. There is no construction activity at this time.
- Construction scheduled to start 2020.

Filter your data
To easily view and analyze data in a spreadsheet, you can use filters to hide data that you want to temporarily take out of view. You can also create, name, and save filters, called filter views, for use without disrupting how others are viewing your spreadsheet.
Using filters in a spreadsheet
To temporarily hide data from view in a spreadsheet, you can add a filter.
Note: When you add a filter, it will filter the data for all of your spreadsheet's viewers and collaborators, meaning any editor has the ability to change the filter.Turning a filter on or off
To enable autofilter, follow these steps:
- Select the range of cells you'd like to apply the filter to.
- From the Data menu, select Filter. Alternatively, you can select the Filter toolbar icon in the toolbar.
- The filter will be applied to your selected range of cells.
- To help you see what cell ranges have a filter applied, the column and row labels are colored green. Additionally, the filter toolbar icon will also change to green if a filter has been applied to any column in your spreadsheet.
- Clicking the drop down icon in the header row will give you a set of filtering options.
- From the drop-down menu, you can uncheck the data points that you want to hide from view and check data points that you want to keep in view. Once you've done so and clicked OK, the icon in the header row will change to a filter.
Note: Only one filter is allowed per spreadsheet in order to prevent collaborators from overwriting each other's data. The filter will show for all editors and viewers, and it can be added or removed by any person with editing rights.
To disable autofilter, follow these steps:
- From the Data menu, select Filter. Alternatively, you can deselect the filter icon in the toolbar.
- The filter will be removed from your selected range of cells. Drop-down menus will disappear from the first row of the selected range of cells.
- All filtered rows will be visible again, but data you've sorted will remain sorted.
Filtering will temporarily hide some of the rows in your spreadsheet, allowing you to view only the data you'd like to see. Once you've enabled the filter, click the drop down icon in the header row to view a set of filtering options. Then, you'll be able to check and uncheck individual data points that you want to view or filter out.
If you want to complete a bulk action, you can click Select all or Clear to either check or uncheck all of your data points in a given column.
You also have the ability to search for particular data points within a column that has a filter applied. Typing "P," for example, will shorten the list to just the names that start with P. You can click on Select all or Clear to perform bulk actions on the visible items. For example, clicking Clear would deselect Peter and Phil.
When you have a filter applied to a range of cells, you can also sort the data. When you sort your data using the drop-down menu, only the data contained in the filter range will be sorted. You can sort a particular column by selecting the drop-down menu and clicking either Sort A → Z or Sort Z → A.
Create, name, and save a filter view
If you want to filter your data that you can save and come back to later, or that you don't want to disrupt how others are viewing the data, you can use a filter view.Create a filter view
When you create a filter view, it's like saving a filter that you can use over and over again.
- Open the spreadsheet where you would like to create a filter view.
- Click the Data menu, hover over "Filter views…" and select Create a new filter view. You can also click the down arrow to the right of the filter icon and select Create a new filter view.
- Using the down arrows in the column headers, sort and filter the data to fit your desired view. Your filter view will be saved as you make changes.
- To close your new filter view, either click the X in the top-right corner of the spreadsheet or click the down arrow to the right of the filter icon and select None.
- Open the filter view you want to rename.
- Click the current name in the black bar of the filter view.
- Delete the text and type in the new name.
- Press Enter.
- Open the spreadsheet that you would like to filter.
- Click the Data menu, hover over "Filter views…" and select the name of the filter view you want to use. You can also click the down arrow to the right of the filter icon and select the filter view.
- Your filter will now be applied to the spreadsheet. To turn off the filter view, either click the X in the top-right corner of the spreadsheet or click the down arrow to the right of the filter icon and select None.
You can also save a filter that you create as a filter view to access at a later time.
- Apply a filter for your selected range of cells.
- Click the Data menu, hover over "Filter views…", and select Save as filter view. Alternately, you can click the dropdown menu next to the filter icon and select Save as filter view.
- Your filter is now saved. The filter view is signified by dark grey highlighting your column and row headers, as well as a line above the column headers with the name and range of your filter.
If you only have access to view a spreadsheet, you can still use filter views in two ways:
- Apply existing filter views, which can be found by clicking the Data menu > hovering over Filter views or by clicking the dropdown arrow next to the Filter icon.
- Sort and filter data on your own screen to create a temporary filter view that is accessible only to you. Because you don't have edit access to the spreadsheet, the filter view won't be saved and won't be available if the spreadsheet is refreshed in the browser.
Only users with edit access to a spreadsheet can create filter views that are accessible to anyone viewing the spreadsheet.
Note: Filter views are only available in the new Google Sheets. If you're working with a spreadsheet that doesn't have filter views available, either use a basic filter or move the spreadsheet to the new Sheets.
Filters vs. Filter Views
Both filters and filter views serve the purpose of narrowing down the view of a spreadsheet to analyze specific data. However, filter views are more useful in certain circumstances.
- While you can only save one filter, you can save multiple filter views to return to and share with others viewing your spreadsheet. You can also name a filter view, but not a filter.
- Adding a filter will change the view for anyone viewing the spreadsheet, while filter views need to be explicitly turned on by each person. Each person in a spreadsheet could be viewing a different filter view at the same time.
- Filters can't be duplicated or copied, while filter views can be duplicated to quickly create another view with similar rules. Note that, while you can import and export filters, filter views are unique to Google Sheets and can't be imported or exported.
- When sorting data in filters, the underlying data is sorted so if you turn off the filter, the data stays sorted. Turning off filter views changes the data back to its original order.
- Filter views can be used if you only have view access to a spreadsheet, while filters can't be used.
Basic filters are most useful if you want to force everyone viewing your spreadsheet to see a specific filter when they open it, and while viewing and editing. In addition, if you want your data to continue to be sorted after using the filter, you may also want to use filters instead of filter views.

The cost of school lunches in the West Point School District is going up 50 cents this year for students who pay full price for their meals, which may be a burden for some parents.
Last year the cost of school meals for students paying full price was $2.00 a day, but because the school district has to comply with the requirements in the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, through which school districts have to provide the same level of financial support to students who aren't eligible for free and reduced lunches, the cost had to increase 50 cents more. Right now the federal reimbursement for students receiving free lunches is $2.74, so in order for the reimbursement to be about the same for students who pay full price, the 50 cent increase was necessary, said Susie Walker, child nutrition director. If not for the increase, the district would continue losing money from the $2.00 paid student lunches.
WPSD trustee Diane Jack expressed her concern about the increase, saying some kids may not have the means of paying $2.50 for lunch every day.
"You have to remember that even though a lot of kids may not be eligible for free lunch, a lot of them are just at the borderline, and if we try to put $2.50, we're going to have a lot of hungry kids walking around school not being able to eat," Jack said. "We know if children don't eat, they are not productive in school…All you're going to be able to put forth is what's in your mind. If you feed your brain, you produce; if you don't feed your brain, you don't produce."
Jack said the National School Lunch Program does allow school districts to only increase school lunches up to 10 cents, which would allow the district to still be in compliance but also help the students whose parents' income is on the borderline.
Walker said the price could be increased just 10 cents more, but the school district would still be under the federal paid student reimbursement of $2.76. So if the price was set at 10 cents more this year, it would have to be set again year after year whereas if it were set to 50 cents more right now, that price would remain fixed for the next three to four years before another increase had to be made.
"The reason for this is because the federal laws are making us do this," Walker said. "The price of our food has gone up about 30 percent this year plus they are tacking on, for every delivery, a fuel charge of $5 per delivery per school, and this is one way for students who are not in the free and reduced area to break even."
Walker said charts for the 2011-2012 school year has changed a little so students who may not have been in the free or reduced income bracket may fall into that category this year. Also, student can fill out another lunch application every time a status changes in there life that would cause them to not be able to pay the full amount for their lunch. Such status change would be a situation that causes their parent not to be able to go to work.
Increasing the cost of the full price student lunches is of no cost to the school district. Adult lunches were also increased to $3.50 for the upcoming school year. The West Point School Board of Trustees approved these increases Monday night.

Veronika Decides to Die: A Novel of Redemption (Paperback)
Twenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything -- youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, she takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up. But she does -- at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live.
Inspired by events in Coelho's own life, Veronika Decides to Die questions the meaning of madness and celebrates individuals who do not fit into patterns society considers to be normal. Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity.

Comments about Easton EA70 2 Bolt Seatpost '10:
The clamp is a little difficult to use. Lots of pieces/parts to hold together while assembling. Once assembled it creaks when you shift your weight. I'm thinking I should've just gotten a Thompson.

TomTom launches major marketing campaign
Oct 30 2013
TomTom launches major marketing campaign
Amsterdam, 30 October 2013 – Developed with DDB and Tribal Worldwide, TomTom has created a light hearted and funny take on the frustrating experiences of being stuck in traffic.
The campaign plays on insightful, funny and awkward moments when you want to reach your destination as quickly as possible. For example, when the very thought of sitting in an unexpected traffic jam after mistaking your traveling partner for being pregnant is unbearably uncomfortable.
The aim of the campaign is to change how people think about and use their portable navigation device, from it being a thing they use for the occasional journey to an unknown destination, to a device they use every day to help avoid traffic jams on their daily commute and get to their destination faster.
So whether you are trying to make it to an important meeting on time, trying to get home to see the kids before they go to bed, or simply trying to escape an awkward moment in your car, TomTom Traffic will always find the quickest route.
"The team really helped bring the TomTom brand to life and show how a PND becomes relevant to daily driving when it delivers real-time, accurate traffic information", Gary Raucher, SVP of Marketing for TomTom. "This is an important campaign for us, it is the first significant above the line campaign we have launched since 2009 and first one we have developed with DDB."
Mark Chalmers, ECD at DDB & Tribal Worldwide, Amsterdam said: "Best friends or colleagues, husbands or wives, we've all dropped some clangers and a need for a quicker journey. Just like our scenarios, the TomTom device is for the daily commute, the airport trip or the big day out. As the campaign develops, we'll be opening it up to the public with a real time, social media tactic, created by consumers, as they contribute live, via Twitter, to improvised comedy shows in cars. "
The campaign runs in the U.K. and Germany until December 2013. Listen to the radio commercials here, and check out the full campaign here.

You must meet all eligibility requirements for federal student financial aid and demonstrate financial need to be considered for work-study.
In order to be considered for FWS, please make sure you complete both the FAFSA and the Application for Federal Work-Study (PDF).
Student eligibility for Federal Work-Study (FWS) is determined by the Financial Aid Office based upon a student's financial need. The student's financial need is the difference between the Cost of Attendance and the Family Contribution (the amount the student and/or family is expected to contribute towards his/her education). You cannot earn more than your award allotment.
After you receive your notification letter, you may check out the FWS Job Opportunities. You can make arrangements to interview for these positions with the hiring supervisor. Once a position has been offered to you, contact the Work-Study Placement Coordinator. This individual will work with you to complete the required Federal Work-Study and payroll forms to establish your eligibility to work.
After you accept a position, you must report to work regularly and on time. Call your supervisor directly if you cannot report to work. If you do not report to work, call your supervisor, or satisfactorily fulfill the requirements of your position, you may be dismissed. Personal calls and meals should be scheduled before or after work hours. You should dress appropriately for the job.
Your work-study job may expose you to sensitive information, including but not limited to student records, financial data or sensitive IT systems. As a result, some position require a criminal background check. Please remember confidentiality must be maintained. Breaches of confidentiality and/or any act of dishonesty may result in your dismissal from the program.
Time sheets must be completed every two weeks and submitted to the Financial Aid Office by your supervisor before the deadline. Contact your supervisor for these dates and times. Your signature constitutes a statement of work performed.
You will not work when the college is officially closed. Your supervisor must approve any exceptions to this policy and initial the time sheet.
Questions? Contact your campus work-study coordinator.
We use VW Alert to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To evaluate whether the concentration of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is affecting the amount of testosterone available to the body's tissues
When to Get Tested?
When your total testosterone results seem inconsistent with clinical signs, suggesting a testosterone deficiency or excess production
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) test measures the concentration of SHBG in the blood. SHBG is a protein that is produced by the liver and binds tightly to testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and estradiol (an estrogen). In this bound state, it transports them in the blood as a biologically inactive form. The amount of SHBG in circulation is affected by age and sex, by decreased or increased testosterone or estrogen production, and can be affected by certain diseases and conditions such as liver disease, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, and obesity.
Changes in SHBG levels can affect the amount of testosterone that is available to be used by the body's tissues. Normally, about 40% to 60% of testosterone is bound to SHBG, with most of the rest weakly and reversibly bound to albumin, the main protein in the blood. Only about 2% is immediately available to the tissues as free testosterone.
A total testosterone test does not distinguish between bound and unbound testosterone but determines the overall quantity of testosterone. In many cases, this is sufficient to evaluate excessive or deficient testosterone production. However, if a person's SHBG level is not normal, then the total testosterone may not be an accurate representation of the amount of testosterone that is available to the person's tissues.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.
