Hi - Does anyone have a recommendation for a Naturopathic Dr/or Pediatric Allergist in the Phoenix area?
I want to explore food allergies and would love a recommendation. He has had significant reflux and congestion for his entire 2 years of life - but ONLY AT NIGHT. Poor little man is in pain at night and bothered by the congestion so much that he is strung out and desperately needing to sleep (we all are). The food I do know he has an allergy to is bananas as he gets a rash on his face and we are eliminating dairy (but there is no significant difference yet).
Kind regards and Many thanks!

Going deep with oceanographer Jules Jaffe
He is developing the robots with Scripps engineer Robert Glatts in a collaboration that reveals a lot about the way Jaffe works and thinks.
"Jules' mind isn't fettered by reality," Glatts says, smiling. "He throws out ideas. I tell him what I think is possible. We usually come up with a solution."
They use nubs of yellow chalk to scratch out ideas on a small blackboard in cramped quarters of Spiess Hall. The exchanges often lead nowhere.
But Jaffe always returns, beginning the conversation with the words, 'what if?'
Glatts says, "I've worked with a number of scientists here, and he's definitely unique. Most scientists tend to have logical minds mixed with an inordinate level of curiosity. Jules thinks more like an artist, which is why we have these drawn-out discussions about what is technically possible. It serves him well, though, since he consistently comes up with cutting edge ideas."
Jaffe is the antithesis of Rube Goldberg; he looks for simple ways to do complex tasks, especially when it comes to lights. More isn't necessarily better. Lights can distort your field of view. He looks for ways to train just enough light on exactly what he wants to see.
The new automated robots he's developing "are going to be a real game changer in sampling the oceans," says Emmanuel Boss, an oceanographer at the University of Maine. "He's developing a fast, inexpensive way of getting information."
Jaffe's skill with light, sound, visuals and design can be traced directly to his childhood, which began on Long Island, New York. He is the youngest of three sons of Meyer and Anne Jaffe. His father was a man of rich humor. But he fared poorly in business, going through bankruptcy three times. He died when Jaffe was 14, and the family became downwardly mobile. Jaffe and his mother moved to cheaper quarters in Queens.
Jaffe was born with club feet and wasn't naturally suited for sports. But he got into art early, roaming the streets of Fresh Meadows with a little notebook, drawing whatever caught his interest. An older brother helped him along, taking him to the Museum of Modern Art, where he challenged Jaffe to study the colors and texture of paintings. His brother also leaned on him to improve his handwriting so that he would express himself clearly. The impact is apparent in Jaffe's journals; they're filled with page after page of beautiful, meticulous notes and drawings, many of which focus on his love of designing furniture and other objects.
As a teenager, Jaffe also was into rock 'n' roll, fronting a band that briefly found work in Greenwich Village backing up Bo Diddley. "It had to be the low point of (Diddley's) career," Jaffe says. "Things didn't work out. We got fired."
It didn't matter; being in a band gave him a deep appreciation of sound, which can be more effective for finding marine life than light.
He went on to study physics at the State University of New York at Buffalo, doing the lighting for music concerts. That "career" went poof at the end of a Grateful Dead concert when about 100 naked concert-goers jumped into a gymnasium pool, leading the school to cancel concerts.

Opinion: Obama Is Trying To Buy The Hispanic And Female Vote With Another Government Giveaway
Conveniently-timed for Obama's reelection, the Hispanic and Women Farmers and Ranchers Claims Resolution program began September 24, 2012 – just a month-and-a-half before the election. Apparently the Obama administration did not care about this alleged injustice to females and Hispanics any time in the past three-and-a-half years. It just happened to be thought about and addressed now – just before voters pull the lever.
Opinion: The 'War On Women' Is Sexist Fiction
The whole concept of warring on women is totally sexist. The truth is that women are speaking for themselves, doing a damn good job of expressing their views quite clearly and eloquently, and they don't need the media speaking for them – especially the male-intense media of 2012.
Opinion: Akin's Position On Rape And Abortion Is The GOP Platform
The basic fact is that Romney, Ryan and Republican's are uncomfortable with a few of the words Congressman Akin used. They are not, however, uncomfortable with the policy position he was expressing. The record shows that they march in lockstep with Congressman Akin.

Re: dnf because of county police boat?
Yes, that is one of the things some club members are hoping the club will do is notify the various LE authorities of our racing schedule, including the buoys we use and our racing schedule.
I agree that the cop(s) wanted to issue some kind of citation to him and when they found that his flares were un-expired, pollution placards in place, adequate pfds they chose "inappropriate speed".
I'm sure that is what the LEO's on the police boat thought. The conditions were light winds (10 k or less) so he could not have been going much more than 5 knots BUT he was likely quite close to them.
If I got this citation I would protest it in court though. Poor little 40' police boat with 400 HP engines threatened by sailboat moving 5 mph.
Another suggestion I heard was for the owner to frame the citation which is essentially for "speeding" in a keel sailboat. How often does that happen?

This is my first post and I'm a novice. I am looking to set-up my system but don't really know how. I've collected several pieces of hardware throughout the years and can't quite figure out the best approach to wire them. Below is my equipment and how I have it now. I know that it is probably not as nice as some of the stuff I've seen here but it's all I've got.
Samsung HD DirecTV
Emerson HDTV 37" LCD EWL3706 (HDMI port but using s-vid)
Harmon/Kardon AVR 5
Infinity RS2 Bookshelf Speakers
Infinity Sterling TS satellite surround system w/ sub(Currently using sub and 2 bookshelf speakers)
I also have a PC with Audigy 2ZS Soundcard no s-vid port
My objective is to get the best sound in an all in one workspace. I would like to get my PC to TV (and use wireless keyboard & mouse) but unsure how to do so. The HDMI Port is not functioning correctly so that is not an option. I guess my question is...
-How can I connect the pc to TV as my monitor?
-Should I use Bookshelf speakers with Sub /or Infinity Sterling TS system/ or Creative 5.1 speakers?
-Do I run each componet to the receiver or run everything(Satellite, DVD) through TV audio?
Please Help!!! Thanks
Re: SETUP HELP
What makes you say that the HDMI port is not functioning correctly? Using HDMI to connect to your PC would provide the best picture (DVI-->HDMI cable). You could also possibly use a component connection, depending on the video card on your system and if it has a component-out cable. There's also composite and S-Video, but you limit yourself to a 640x480 resolution with those two connections, which defeats the purpose of having an HDTV.
For sound, the best quality would be achieved by running everything through your receiver. I'm not familiar with that receiver though so I don't know what connections it will accept.
Re: SETUP HELP
Whenever I plug the cable into the HDMI port(From Direct TV -> LCD TV) the picture blinks from no signal to signal. In other words, the Picture flickers. Any solutions to that. I've already called the manufacturer but they will only pay for parts. Labor is usually 95% of the costs, what a scam...warranty!? Meanwhile I'm stuck with shipping also.
Re: SETUP HELP
Could be some sort of HDMI handshake issue. Have you verified that the HDMI port on the sat box is functioning properly and checked to ensure the HDMI cable itself is not faulty?
Re: SETUP HELP
When they installed the sat. box he tried the cable and a new box. This reallyt isn't a priority for me right now. I'm just pissed that it isn't working and have to pay to get it replaced/fixed. The cable itself would be pretty expensive in terms of what it is. I mean it's a freakin cable for crying out loud. I'm not willing to spend over about $10 for one. I guess I could buy and return but just haven't really worried about it. Before too long they'll be 3 for $1.
Sorry if I seem a little negative, just frustrated.
Do you have any suggestions on what speaker system I should use? Can I mix the Bookshelf speakers with the 5.1 speaker system? Will my computer speakers sound better than these. here is my soundcard
I found this on another forum
"I'm also the proud owner of the Infinity Sterling TS and i had been using up until a year or two ago. The setup seems decent, but i wouldn't say a speaker would ever go out of date. As long as it runs and could keep up with modern technology, i don't see anything wrong ie. (you could stick speaker wire in it like any other speaker and have it produce sound).
I actually do have the woofer unit that came with it. It never had oomph so it got degraded to a footstool. The only problem with the Sterling TS is that they are sealed and their low frequency output doesnt extend below 150hz, so it starts rolling off at around 180-200hz or so. Then to compensate for the lack of LF extension, you have the crossover on the sub all the way up to compensate for the Sterlings which could also create problems. Maybe thats why they included the woofer module, but i oculd never find any specs on the damn thing."
BTW I finally found a link to my HK AVR5
Re: SETUP HELP
btw, for connecting your PC to the TV, what video card is in your system?
I can't tell from your link if that receiver has a TOSlink input (digital optical) or S/PDIF (Coax). If it has either or both, using one of those that would be the best way to connect the soundcard to the receiver, since it's a single cable.
Re: SETUP HELP
I think I bought the receiver weeks before the started using fiber-optic digital stuff. I'll have to check about the other thing. You are a huge help. Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Edit: All 8 Ohm speakers

ReInventing Schools at the District LevelNovember 10, 2014 by Bill Zima
In 2012, Maine established policy for schools to award proficiency-based diplomas starting in 2018. As the years passed, it became clear that some districts, including mine, needed more time to get all the pieces in place. In April of 2014, The Maine Department of Education agreed to allow extensions for districts as long as they met specific criteria demonstrating the district was moving forward. There were six options ranging from no extension to taking a full three years.
My district chose option five, which required us to partner with a coach to help with the transition to a learner-centered, proficiency-based system. We decided to partner with the ReInventing Schools Coalition. This decision was made based on their affiliation with Marzano Research Labs and their proven record of supporting schools through the transition. Also, the middle school, of which I am the principal, already had a working relationship with them. We have found them to be tireless in their commitment to support us through the process of meeting our vision.
With our limited funds, the decision was made to begin the district work with leadership teams from each of the schools in the district. The groups met for a single day over the summer to talk about the ReInventing Schools framework. While it was nice to only spend a single day on this topic, I would not recommend it as the norm for the introduction. Since the ReInventing Schools Coalition is well-known in Maine, having worked with many school districts in the past six years, their framework is familiar to many educators. Add to this the catalyst of the proficiency-based diploma law, and it gave our coach the ability to move quickly, leaving only a few of the school leaders needing support in the days that followed.

LSU football players need to take up yoga or something. Whatever they can do to help them relax they need to do in the Bayou. NBC33 TV in Baton Rouge is reporting that the Tigers returning leading rusher and potential star running back Jeremy Hill has been suspended from the team after an arrest for battery over the weekend. Police were called to the scene of a disturbance at Reggie's Bar in Tigerland shortly after 2:00 a.m. The entire incident was reportedly caught on tape, and on the video, Hill is clearly seen striking a 20-year-old man in the head with his fist. Police say a second suspect is also shown striking the victim with his fist, which caused the victim to become unconscious. By the time police arrived, Hill and his accomplice had already left the bar. Cops located the two and immediately placed them under arrest. Hill was previously arrested in 2011 and charged as a juvenile in a sexual battery case.

Later that day, after working up my determination and thinking about what I wanted to say, I called Wolfie at his hotel. He was waiting for Matt to finish bundling gear before they headed to the arena.
"Do you remember the talk I wanted to have with you after Thanksgiving?" I said.
"Maybe," he said.
"The one about sex," I said.
"Have you spoken with your dad about it yet?"
"Good," I said. "I wanted to get to you first."
"Ma, it's gross -- and whatever happens between me and Liv, it's none of your business."
"You're right," I said. "That would be gross, as you say. I don't want to know about the two of you. This isn't about Liv, in fact. It's about you." I paused momentarily, waiting for him to cut me off. He didn't-- and I knew right then I had him and this was my time.
"Look, I just want to tell you that as far as you and Liv or you and anyone else that comes into your life goes, it's about your heart and hers. Don't give your heart and self away easily. But when you do, don't protect it to the point where you don't open yourself up to your feelings. Always be kind and treat other people the way you want to be--"
"Ma, I know," he said, cutting me off. "Treat people the way I want to be treated. You say it all the time. I get it."
"One more thing," I said.
"Babies come from storks."
Relieved, I told Tom about the conversation. I don't know if it was helpful, but I felt better.
A few days later, all of us rendezvoused at the Van Halen concert in San Diego. Before the show, I pulled Ed aside and asked him to speak to Wolfie about being responsible and sensitive in relationships. I didn't come right out and say he was serious about his girlfriend and we needed to make sure he was well informed. But Ed understood. I saw him take it in, think about what he should say, and then he looked at his girlfriend Janie, at me, and at Tom, and nodded.
"Got it," he said.
I was nervous about what he might say, because he could be crude even when trying to be sensitive. But I felt like I had run out of options. God help me, I turned it over to Ed.
A little before the show, I was standing with Tom in the hallway outside Ed's dressing room when I thought I overheard him having the talk. I shushed Tom and inched closer to the doorway. Tom was right behind me when I turned around and we heard Ed tell Wolfie to listen to his heart, to be careful of who he gave it to, and then "when you give it away be careful of their heart, too."
Then he added, "Treat each other with kindness."
I gritted my teeth at Tom.
"That's what I tried to tell him," I said.
"Shush," Tom said. "They're still going."
We listened closer and heard Ed finish: ". . . and be wary of all the sluts and skanks and whores who will want to be with you because you play in a band and have a famous last name."
I shrugged. I wouldn't have said that last part. But it was essentially the same talk I had tried to have. I wanted to praise Ed, but remembered that we were eavesdropping and quickly grabbed Tom and guided us away from the door. Then Wolfie strolled out and into the hall. He was in a good mood.
"Hey, Ma," he said.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Nothing," he said. "Just talking to Dad."
I watched him walk back to his dressing room. All of us were learning about the facts of life.

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi today launched a frontal attack on BJP, charging it with pursuing "politics of strife" and questioning its alliance with Shiv Sena even as he rubbished Narendra Modi's claims of development in Gujarat.
Addressing a rally in this Congress stronghold, his first in the politically crucial state of Uttar Pradesh after the announcement of the Lok Sabha polls schedule, Gandhi accused BJP of having "tried to stall" initiatives like the Right to Information Act, Lokpal, and Land Acquisition Bill which he said were "aimed at empowering the common people to solve their own problems".
In his 20-minute-long speech, during which he refrained from mentioning Gujarat Chief Minister Modi by name, Gandhi charged that BJP "does not believe in empowering the people...
Its strategy has been to acquire power which rests in the people and concentrate it in the hands of one individual".
"Their leader seeks to give an impression that the development in Gujarat was his personal achievement.
"He seems oblivious to the efforts of millions of people, especially women living in remote villages of Gujarat, whose hard work made success stories like Amul possible," Gandhi said.
"Congress does not have that kind of ideology. Congress believes that power must rest with the people who must get a chance to make their destiny.
"Congress does not believe in their politics of strife, the politics of pitting one against the other. We believe in promoting peace and love among the people of all religions, castes and communities", he said.
Referring to the Muzaffarnagar riots, Gandhi said, "I was told by the residents of the district that mercenaries from outside had indulged in rioting and locals had to suffer the social and economic consequences."
"UP needs to be rid of such divisive tendencies. If peace and harmony prevails in the state, it will reach such levels of prosperity that people from Maharashtra and Gujarat, even advanced countries like England, would be visiting the state for their own economic uplift," added Gandhi, the Lok Sabha MP from UP's Amethi.
votes from the people of UP and Bihar who have been at the receiving end of the atrocities committed by Shiv Sainiks".
"Some time back I had travelled to Mumbai in a train. I did that just to spread the message that people from any part of the country were free to travel anywhere in their search for better educational and employment prospects and to defeat the forces which are bent upon spreading hatred," he said.
"Congress believes in creating an atmosphere wherein every citizen is able to feel at home in any part of the country," he said.
Stressing on the UPA government's commitment towards the upliftment of women, Gandhi said, "I visualise a future in which half our MLAs and MPs would be from the fair sex.
"Our commitment was reflected in the Women's Reservation Bill, which the opposition did not allow us to get passed.
They seem to be wary of the power of women.
"But once we return to power, we will ensure that women of the country get their due... India can't be a superpower without empowering half its population."
A number of other party leaders, including former Test cricketer Mohd Kaif, actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishen, local MP Rajkumari Ratna Singh, the party's state unit chief Nirmal Khatri and Rajya Sabha member Pramod Tiwari, too, addressed the rally at the Ram Lila ground in Pratapgarh, about 65-km from Allahabad.
Gandhi also highlighted the efforts made by UPA government to generate employment, and said, "We aim to improve our manufacturing sector in a big way so that India moves ahead of even China."
"The Dedicated Freight Corridor, which has been one of the key projects of UPA, is aimed at bringing this much-desired improvement in the manufacturing sector," he added.

Rep Power:
I consider my sailing experince level as to be a newbie. I have only sailed Lasers and Hobie 16's and that was ten years ago. So whatever I say can be taken with a grain of salt or an honest analysis.
I am currently waiting to buy my first sailboat too but I'm quite concerned on what I can do with a 24 foot sloop. When learning to sail back at the age of 27, and that being on a Laser, I almost said "the hell with it". I was being taught by people that had a lifetime of experience of sailing and cruising but the sharks and the current that swept through the atoll and the sheer sensitivity of that little boat almost got the best of me. The required us to learn on the laser before we were allowed to get the hobie. As far as I was concerned the hobie was like flying a kite and the laser was like jumping in to a rocket ship without any flight training. Anyways, I eventually got the hang of it and miss sailing those little rocket ships. I was told by those that taught me that if I could sail a laser I could sail anything. We'll see, as I often wonder if learning to sail a laser is as hard for everyone as it was for me. My point being, it's one thing to camp on a small boat at the dock, but sailing in in the ocean is a whole nother ballgame. Not that it can't be done though.
The boat that I am purchasing tomorrow is a 24ft S2 sloop. Now, I will be mostly contained to an inland lake but I know myself and know that I will do everything I can to broaden my sailing area. At 24 ft. I think for me would be about the smallest I could stand. Being alone would leave plenty of room for supplies and a little comfort but I have a wife so sailing alone isn't an option for me. We could probably handle some gulf coast cruising but that'd be our limit. But that's just us and what I think my experience could handle.
The bottom line is learn to sail first. You will find that the experience will put things in to perspective. That being what you can do, won't do, or shouldn't do. You will also find that the ocean or large expanses of water can be quite daunting. I've been out in the Pacific on "nice" days that had 30 foot swells. Yeah, it was kinda fun but I wasn't out their alone. We were on a fishing boat with the land in sight but I decided then ad there that it was not something to take lightly.
Good luck and keep us posted.

I have family out on Long Island, made a trip to Yankee Stadium in 2005 to watch them play the Blue Jays, can't wait to go back this summer and watch my RedLegs handle them .
I have family out on Long Island, made a trip to Yankee Stadium in 2005 to watch them play the Blue Jays, can't wait to go back this summer and watch my RedLegs handle them .
Figured I'd top this as a reminder to anyone looking to go to these games.
Yankees tickets go on sale this morning at 10 AM EST.
I'll be trying to get some good seats to the Sunday afternoon game (June 22).
Good luck to anyone else getting tickets!
Anyone have any luck getting anything?
I got totally shut out, still can't even get into their system.
Guess we'll be going the Ebay/Stubhub route.
I got in but accidentally kicked myself out like a dummy. Then, couldn't get two tickets together, so gave up.
If it's like it was last season, it shouldn't be too tough to get tickets at or around face value.
I got tix UNDER face value last year on ebay when the Red Sox came to town to play the Yanks. Maybe it'll be different with it being the last season of Yankee Stadium, but I don't think this is going to be a super hot ticket.
NY rumor is that they were checking ISP's for tickets. Out-of-staters (re: Red Sox Fan) were shut out.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
I talked to a Ticketmaster rep today, and according to them you can get 1 ticket to the games, but can't get 2 or more together.
The rep didn't know why, except that right at 10 (when the tickets went on sale) there were numerous bulk purchases.
StubHub is your best bet right now.
Just another reason to hate Ticketmaster and the Yankees.
You might have better luck at the window.
I've been told by some people in NYC that not all the tickets get released on the internet by the Yankees. They keep some back for face-to-face orders that start Monday.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
I'm looking to swap two tickets to the game on Friday June 20 for two tickets to the Saturday or (preferably) Sunday games of that same weekend.
Tickets I have are Box 350, Row H.
Looking to swap for two similar tickets.
Please PM me if interested in a swap. Thanks.
PS If nobody is interested in a swap, I would sell these as well (as I'm already attending the game on different tickets.)
Go BLUE!!!
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
You may be able to get tickets from Stub-Hub this year as the Yankees have supposedly relaxed the rule that season ticket holders cannot sell tickets on Stub-Hub without risk of losing their privileges.

Obscenity Charges
Sarah Silverman seemed poised to usher in a new generation of secure, sexual, and powerful female comics. Instead, she went for empty shocks and cheap laughs.
Dear Sarah,
The letter thing works for me because, for some reason, I've always had strange feelings toward you, feelings I don't usually reserve for entertainers, especially ones whose career highs include Greg the Bunny and School of Rock. That's because ever since I first saw you play Wendy, the disgruntled new writer on The Larry Sanders Show, sometime in the mid-1990s, I thought you had a great chance of becoming one of those very rare and truly important comedians who not only deliver killer lines but also produce the sort of work that is insightful and devastating and that matures, and in special cases can even change the world. Lenny Bruce talked about race when the rest of America was terrified by it, and America laughed and passed the Civil Rights Act.
I was sure, Sarah, that you would grow up and become America's first female comedian who was powerful as well as sexual and utterly hilarious. Lucy tried, and got spanked. Elayne Boosler tried, and wound up sad and alone in a bar in Chicago, or at least that's how the comedy industry treated her. Roseanne tried, but being overweight and unattractive cushioned even her meanest and most meaningful blue-collar jokes. All Roseanne could do to really make us mad was grab her crotch while singing the national anthem, and we never really forgave her.
But you had another thing going. You were beautiful and intensely clever, which allowed you to construct this repulsive persona of a privileged, vile woman who distrusts anyone and anything except for her own self-worth. The critic Sam Anderson called this character a meta-bigot and placed you in the company of other mock-ignorant intolerants like Ali G and South Park's Eric Cartman. He also noted that "unlike other meta-bigots, she doesn't insulate herself with fictional characters: Her persona—an incestuous, genital-obsessed, racist narcissist—looks and sounds exactly like Silverman herself."
Anderson is right. And that's a big problem. As I watched you perform on stage, in movies, and on television these past two decades, I noticed you retreat further and further into shtick, your powers depleted, your promise gone. Jews didn't find you funny anymore. Women never really found you funny. Post-civil-rights-era comedians are funny because they channel the forbidden Id of the group. So, whose Id are you, anyway?
Consider the following two jokes. Here's one from earlier on in your career: "I was raped by a doctor, which is so bittersweet for a Jewish girl." So much violence in so few words against so many sacred markers of identity politics, even if many Jewish girls of my acquaintance actually don't find rape fantasies funny; they enjoy them.
Women didn't like you, and you knew it. Men wanted to screw you, and you knew it. You were nasty but confused, and your act lost whatever focus it once had. In a recent comedy concert, you had this to say (I'm paraphrasing here, but only mildly): "What's the worst thing about the Holocaust? The cost!" At best, this can pass as some weak attempt at sarcasm, but, more accurately, it's a pun, a verbal non sequitur whose sole purpose is to convert uneasy emotions into easy laughs.
And that, I'm afraid, is your true legacy. Rather than open the door to women comics who wanted to be just as depraved as the boys, you created a new category of stereotype, one that urges the attractive and witty female comedian to retreat as far as she can into mock-cutesy unlikability, to mitigate her libido by laying on the bitterness and the bile, to abandon complex jokes that do real violence against real ills and adopt instead a sort of facile, sophomoric humor that reeks of years spent backstage smoking blunts. This is how you end up with an album filled with song titles like "Will We Eat Each Other's Doodies?" and "Trimming Your Bush." This is also how you end up with even blander, more put-together comics like Whitney Cummings, who currently has two network sitcoms and who seems to have begun her career already as a latter-day Silverman, all bark and no bite.
I'm not saying, of course, that you alone are to blame. You work within the system, and it's not easy undoing decades of discrimination. But Tina Fey's career is much, much more luminous than yours. Rather than flip the finger at Saturday Night Live for not getting her jokes, she fought uphill until she was the boss and could make cute kissy-faces at her vanquished rivals who once called her "Herman the German." When she was offered the opportunity to write a memoir, she titled it Bossypants and produced a smart and funny and poignant essay on being a female comic in a male-dominated industry. It's a book you can imagine may inspire real health-care reform, or at least help a few young girl comedy nerds to overcome their fears and get up on stage and maybe someday become the female Richard Pryor.
Your memoir, on the other hand, was called The Bedwetter. It included a fictional eulogy by God, who mourns your passing by saying: "She loved dogs, New York, television, children, friendship, sex, laughing, heartbreaking songs, marijuana, farts, and cuddling." It's the kind of book you can imagine may inspire young girl comedy nerds to say filthy things in a silly voice so that boys will think they're hot. Daria did it first, and she was edgier and funnier than you are. And she was a cartoon.
These are harsh words, Sarah, but I'm only writing because I hope that there's a project somewhere in the future, a script or a book or a stand-up show, that would bring back that same brilliant, fearless comic I fell in love with two decades ago, and that you'll emerge from your scatological skunk-weed haze to once again tell the kind of jokes that people remember long after the fact and that leave us happy and horny and agitated. That, after all, is what comics do, and few can do it better than you when you are on your game, which last happened sometime before George Bush invaded Iraq and Steve Martin became a writer for The New Yorker. Sarah, I still think you're hot, but I'm begging you: Please try harder.

Police officials in Punjab baton charged members of Elementary Teachers Training (ETT) demanding to bring district schools under the education department.
As many as a dozen agitating members of ETT were injured on Sunday after police baton charged them.
The teachers were attempting to break the barricades to march towards the residence of cabinet minister, Bikram Singh Majithia, demanding the bringing of district schools under the education department.
Additional Commissioner of Police, Balkar Singh, informed that police had to take action since teachers were trying to cross the barricades and few were injured as well.
"ETT were protesting here, they were trying to remove and cross the barricade and tried to cause harm to the people around. This is why we had to take charge of the situation," said Singh.
The teachers were stopped near the deputy commissioner's residence. They tried to move ahead and break barricades but police swung into action to disperse them.
Police also used water cannons to disperse the teachers.
The protesters on the other hand complained that the police had badly hurt them.
"They first beat up the farmers and now us. They have beaten us badly. Many of our brothers and sisters have been hurt during the baton charge," said a protester, Shamsher Singh.
Reportedly, the state government had recruited around 13,000 teachers and deputed them in schools run by the district council in 2006.
Since, the government has not been able to provide basic facilities to the schools, the protesters have demanded that their schools should be shifted to the education department.

Fewer than half of the Senior Executive Service members who responded to an exclusive Federal News Radio online survey say they would join today. The survey results were even more dim for federal employees at the GS-15 and GS-14 ranks. In the first of our four-part special report, Fixing the SES, we examine how current senior execs feel about the SES, and what they believe is right and wrong with the service.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical device recalls increased more than 160 percent in the first quarter of 2012, affecting more than five times as many units than the previous quarter, according to the quarterly ExpertRECALL™ Index, released today.
Products impacted by the increase include alcohol prep pads, catheters, needles and latex gloves. Consumer product recalls also increased in the first quarter of 2012. Conversely, the ExpertRECALL Index found that pharmaceutical and food recalls decreased compared with previous quarters.
Medical device recalls documented in first quarter U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Enforcement Reports affected nearly 82 million units, representing a 508 percent increase over the previous quarter and recording a five-quarter high. Additionally, about one-third of companies that faced recalls in the first quarter were involved in more than one recall event -- a trend that has continued over the last five recent quarters.
"While the quarter-over-quarter increase in medical device recalls is significant, this change was not all that unexpected given that recalls documented in fourth quarter 2011 Enforcement Reports were at an unprecedented low," explained Mike Rozembajgier, vice president of recalls at Stericycle ExpertRECALL. "However, what is troublesome is the dramatic increase in units affected by the recalls and continued number of repeat offenders. It's scary to think about given the increasing number of devices that American patients rely on to maintain and improve their health. Consumer and patient safety should be the number-one priority for every manufacturer, distributor, retailer, doctor's office and healthcare facility."
"Companies should be doing everything possible to minimize the safety concerns that would result in recalls," Rozembajgier said. "Similarly, any business or individual within a supply ch

CPR: Lifesaving technique
At 43 years old, Clint Marquez is living proof that performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) saves lives.
The father of three lives in El Cajon and serves part time in the Army National Guard. He's always been fit thanks to running and weight-lifting, and he's never been overweight or smoked.
Yet despite all that, CPR has saved him from the potential verge of death not once, but twice.
In April 2013, a local cardiologist sent him for an angiogram — an X-ray of sorts to photograph blood flow in the arteries — after he was having chest pains. He was at Scripps Hospital talking to a nurse before the test when his heart suddenly stopped.
The next thing he remembered was waking up as a nurse was doing CPR on him.
Open-heart surgery followed to replace several arteries in his heart. His recovery was going well — or so he thought.
On Aug. 9, he and his 12-year-old son, Zachary, were jogging around Lake Miramar. The last thing he remembers was telling his son he wasn't feeling well.
Then he went down.
Zachary grabbed his dad's cell phone from his pocket and called 911. Meanwhile, a stranger began CPR.
CPR is a lifesaving technique that can be used in emergency situations such as when a person's heart stops beating as a result of sudden cardiac arrest or when a person is near death from drowning.
Classes are taught at hospitals and other locations throughout the San Diego region, and when properly trained, those performing CPR have the potential to save a life.
"Anything that causes a person to stop breathing … can benefit from CPR," said Dr. Douglas Gibson, director of cardiac electrophysiology at Scripps Clinic. "It can be the difference between life and death for somebody."
According to the American Heart Association, effective CPR given immediately by a bystander during sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple the chances of survival. However, just 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from a bystander.
Gibson said steps to effective CPR include assessing the patient, sending someone for help or calling 911, then doing chest compressions — about 100 per minute to mimic the beat of the heart — and giving the person two breaths after every 30 compressions.
He said this should be done until the subject regains consciousness or until paramedics arrive.
Gibson said both compressions and breaths that come with CPR keep blood circulating and help get oxygen to the brain, which can prevent brain damage.
Gibson said some people might be hesitant to learn CPR for fear of giving a stranger mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. But he pointed out that odds are good that if CPR needs to be used, it will be on someone who's close, like a child, parent or friend.
In addition, according to the American Heart Association, hands-only CPR performed with just chest compressions has been proven to be as effective on adult cardiac arrest victims as CPR that includes mouth-to-mouth.

As a result of increased site visits and a general inclination to decrease the number of H-1B's approved, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") published a watershed memo on January 8th, 2010 ("the Neufeld Memo"). The Neufeld Memo radically changed the way that H-1B's were adjudicated. The Neufeld Memo also put enormous pressure on employers to satisfy additional evidence requirements justifying any work performed by an H-1B visa holder off of the H-1B visa petitioner's premises. Additionally, the Neufeld Memo added additional requirements for H-1B petitioners to obtain H-1B extensions. It is this author's opinion that as a result of this Neufeld Memo, employers will see automatic requests for evidence in any case where the beneficiary may be performing offsite work and for any H-1B visa extension petition. It continues to be our strong recommendation that employers add a section to their H-1B petitions which cover the issues addressed by the Neufeld Memo. Even one and one half years after this Memo was promulgated.

An analysis of data on 3,000 women in the Nurses' Health Study II found that those who consumed the most iron from plant-based foods or supplements had as much as a 40% reduced risk of premenstrual syndrome compared with those who ate the least. Researchers said that daily intake of more than 10 mg of zinc offered a slight protection against PMS. The findings appear in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

Maryland's craft beer business is growing rapidly — at a rate of 35 percent a year — as consumers increasingly seek out independent brewers' new-style yet traditionally made beers.
"There is just an amazing level of interest in craft beer, artisanal products in general, but craft beer specifically," said Jon Zerivitz, co-founder of Union Craft Brewing Co. "It's been growing all over the country."
Both new and existing companies are driving the expansion.
Oliver Breweries, the 21-year-old beer-making operation of the Pratt Street Ale House in downtown Baltimore, has outgrown its beer-making space and is opening a small production plant. Union Craft Brewing , the relatively new brewery in Woodberry, is expanding and just introduced another new beer. And the popular Heavy Seas Alehouse in Little Italy — part of Clipper City Brewing of Halethorpe — opened a second restaurant last month in Rosslyn, Va.
"The American craft beer segment of the industry is truly exploding," said J.T. Smith, executive director of the Brewers Association of Maryland. "It's something that should be celebrated as a value-added manufacturing sector in Maryland."
Throughout the state, 15 brewing companies are in some stage of planning to open, Smith said. New breweries have opened in Ocean City, Frederick and Silver Spring, Smith said.
The 35 percent annual growth rate for the state's industry, consistent for the past five years, takes into account new openings, companies moving from out of state to manufacture here, growth of employment, tax revenue, volume and sales, Smith said. The state's brewing industry, with 38 active brewing companies, generates economic impact of $95 million and accounts for 20,000 jobs, including breweries, wholesalers and distributors, the association says.
Oliver, now brewing at the Pratt Street Ale House bar and restaurant, is opening a separate brewery in an industrial section of Clifton Park in East Baltimore to supply growing demand for its beers.
The maker of the American-style India pale ale Draft Punk and English-style mild ale Dark Horse, among other varieties, made a push into bars and restaurants in Washington and Northern Virginia in 2011. Pratt Street opened a second restaurant in December 2012, in Columbia, and plans its third for this fall in Severna Park.
"The brand has been doing really well," said Justin Dvorkin, co-owner of Oliver and Pratt Street Ale House. Once the Columbia restaurant opened, "it made it difficult to supply ourselves. We had to pull back out of accounts in D.C. and Virginia."
Having a separate production plant in a 12,000-square-foot former ice storage plant will boost production from 2,000 barrels a year to 4,000 barrels and allow for expansion into canning and bottling, Dvorkin said. Oliver eventually plans to stop brewing at the Pratt Street location.
"It puts us into a production-facility stance, as opposed to just a brew pub with a little beer left over," Dvorkin said. "We can really supply all the demand."
Demand has grown, he said, as consumers have grown more educated about craft beer.
"People want to find exactly the kind of beer they like," he said. "They don't have to settle for something close."
Union Craft Brewing, the first purely production brewery to open in the city in the past 30 years, is expanding for the second time since opening less than two years ago.
The brewery installed three new fermentation tanks and expanded by 3,000 square feet to enable production to double from 3,000 barrels this year to about 6,000 by the end of next year, Zerivitz said. This month, it added a third canned beer, the German-style Blackwing Lager, to its Duckpin Pale Ale and Balt Alt, a German-style altbier — all of which are sold in stores across the state and in Washington. Union Craft plans to launch a fourth variety in cans soon and expand its tiny taproom.
"The additional capacity will enable us to meet the overwhelming demand for our existing beers, as well as give us the ability to experiment with new beer styles," said Adam Benesch, another Union Craft co-founder, in announcing the expansion.
Business has been so good for Evolution Craft Brewing in Salisbury that co-owners and brothers Tom Knorr and John Knorr are laying the groundwork to nearly triple production in the next couple of years.
The brothers, who run four restaurants in the Salisbury area and opened a brewery at one in 2011, are seeking an increase in the number of barrels that the state's brew pubs can sell to distributors. That limit now is 22,500 barrels a year.
In Maryland, Evolution is the largest brewery in its class, selling its Exile Red Ale, Primal Pale Ale, Lucky 7 Porter and Lot No. 3 India pale ale to wholesalers and retailers in the mid-Atlantic.
