SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Relief from dry mouth is now just a spray away. Mission Pharmacal Company today announced the launch of Aquoral®, a safe and effective protective oral spray that moistens and lubricates the mouth for up to four hours.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131022/PH02349)
Dry mouth, or xerostomia, affects about 25 million Americans. It refers to a decreased production of saliva, a condition common in older adults as well as those taking certain prescription medications. Studies show that dry mouth affects up to 60 percent of patients taking an anticholinergic medication to treat a urologic condition such as overactive bladder (OAB). Other causes include radiotherapy and systemic diseases such as Sjögren's Syndrome.
Symptoms of dry mouth include an uncomfortable dry (like cotton), sticky or burning sensation in the mouth. Dry mouth can also cause cracked lips, dry tongue, mouth sores and ulcers, mouth infections, and dental decay.
"Dry mouth is more than an annoying problem," says Dan Crawford, Marketing Director of the Urology Division at Mission Pharmacal. "It can significantly decrease patients' quality of life by making it difficult to chew, swallow, taste, and even speak. Most home remedies, such as chewing sugar-free gum or sucking on ice chips, provide only temporary relief from these symptoms.
Over-the-counter remedies, which are water-based, don't last much longer."
What differentiates Aquoral most from other dry mouth solutions? Aquoral utilizes patented Oxidized Glycerol Triesters (OGT) Technology, a unique plant-derived, lipid-based technology designed to function like human saliva, forming a protective barrier on the oral mucosa that lasts
up to four hours.
"Even though patients need a prescription for Aquoral, it is a n

Student teachers receive Robert H. Elliott Memorial Awards
Tarleton State University
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
STEPHENVILLE, Texas—Six student teachers at Tarleton were honored for their outstanding qualities in the classroom by the College of Education's Department of Curriculum and Instruction during the annual Reflections ceremony, held May 4.
The ceremony, designed to honor Tarleton's student teachers, highlights their most memorable moments throughout the school year and recognizes four recipients of the Robert H. Elliott Memorial Award. Presented to students who exemplify Elliott's beliefs and dedication, the award is given each long semester during the annual ceremony, a program designed to critique and evaluate the recently concluded student teaching session.
This year's all-level certification award winner, Jenna Harris of Eastland, served as a 4th grade physical education student teacher at Gorman ISD's Maxfield Elementary School, under the guidance of Lisa Laminack. Harris has received a physical education certification at Tarleton.
Shanna Scarborough a student teacher from Huckabay, was selected as the recipient of this year's 6th through 12th grade certification level award winner. She recently completed her student teaching at Hico High School where she taught 9th and 10th grade Business Information Management under the supervision of Sherry Gerber. Scarborough has received a 6th-12th grade business education certification.
This year, four student teachers from their respective cohorts were recognized as Elliott Award Winners for the Early Childhood through 6th grade (EC-6) certification level, including Holly Bolling (Fort Worth cohort), Kaitlyn Cervenka (Stephenville cohort), Kalynn Cox (Waco cohort) and Toni Jenkins (Weatherford cohort).
Bolling, a student teacher from Fort Worth, recently completed her student teaching at White Settlement ISD's Tannahill Intermediate School where she taught 5th grade mathematics under the supervision of Betsey Mele. Bolling has received an EC-6 generalist certification, and pursued an English as a Second Language (ESL) certification as well.
Cervenka, a native of Waco, completed her student teaching at Granbury ISD's Mambrino School where she taught Kindergarten under the guidance of Suzan Turner. Cervenka has received an EC-6 generalist certification along with an ESL supplemental certification.
Cox, a student teacher from Waco, recently completed her student teaching at Waco ISD's Cedar Ridge Elementary School where she taught 1st grade science under the supervision of Kathy Cowan and Amber Pearson. Cox has received an EC-6 elementary education certification, and also pursued an ESL certification.
Jenkins, a native of Paradise, completed her student teaching at Boyd ISD's intermediate school where she taught 4th grade language arts and social studies under the guidance of Jackie Smith. Jenkins has received an EC-6 interdisciplinary studies certification.
The Robert H. Elliott Memorial Award was developed by his friends and colleagues in memory of Elliott's enthusiasm for education and his devotion to students. The veteran educator and administrator served public schools for many years in Colorado before joining the faculty at Tarleton in 1981. He was a professor in the Department of Education and Psychology and supervisor of the student teacher program at the time of his death in 1990.

The creation of a National Productivity Council to direct and coordinate a national movement for productivity has been recommended by a meeting of experts drawn from different interests, convened in New Delhi on September 16 by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The Government have informally accepted the recommendation. The proposed NPC should be set up, to begin with, by a Government resolution and later registered as an association. On it should be represented the national organisations of employers and workers and Government nominees in equal proportion. Representatives of associations of technicians, professional consultants and research workers as well as other interests such as small industries would be coopted on the Council.

Two Projects Moving Forward on 4th Street!November 29, 2011 at 9:35 am | Posted in Bike News, Get Involved | 6 Comments
The 4th Street Bicycle Blvd. will be another step closer to reality as two mini-roundabouts are projected for installation on 4th Street by the summer of 2012. One will be located at 4th Street and Norton, the other will be at 4th Street and New Hampshire. Recent meetings with the Windsor Square Homeowner's Association and the Wilshire Center Koreatown Neighborhood Council resulted in support for the mini-roundabouts. LACBC is reaching out to the community through additional local organizations in an effort to further build support for the roundabouts and 4th Street as a whole. We've had a roundabout at 4th and New Hampshire in mind for a long time and LADOT chose the two locations because they are the intersections of "Bicycle Friendly Streets" in the LA Bike Plan. Each mini-roundabout will benefit two "Bicycle Friendly Streets" since 4th, Norton, and New Hampshire are all designated BFSs.
Mini-roundabouts will improve the safety of everyone passing through the two intersections. They will slow motor vehicle traffic, reduce the potential for collisions, and will enable people on bicycles to maintain forward momentum since the roundabouts will be 4-way yield instead of 4-way stop. You can read more about mini-roundabouts thanks to a recent blog post by Richard Risemberg here, and there's additional information on the FHWA website here.
The 4th Street Bicycle Blvd. campaign calls for multiple improvements on 4th Street and the roundabouts are two steps in the right direction. We're working to build additional support for the roundabouts to help ensure implementation and that the roundabouts include attractive, appropriate landscaping.
There's plenty more to do on 4th Street to make it a neighborhood greenway that will benefit people on bicycles, people who walk, and people who live in the area. If you'd like to get involved, please contact Colin Bogart at email@example.com.

Nice, but…I'd say the roundabout in the rendering is not quite wide enough, unless combined with curb bulbouts. Your more arrogant drivers will take great joy in swerving round it at speed, since the deviation it imposes appears to be pretty small.
Remember, if people were nice, you wouldn't need traffic control devices at all.
It's our whacked-out human psychology. Cars are private space, so people in them feel that they really do "own" the road they squat over, though that road is public space. That's why they see all others as "intruders."
Physical traffic control devices–such as narrow lanes, roundabouts, etc.–serve to induce civil behavior without reference to civil sentiments. (Signs work only when back up by cops.) But a too-small roundabout will simply be a challenge to a motorist, not a restraint.

Police ID man in bike crash
He hit a dog and went over handlebars
A 34-year-old man who was involved in an accident Thursday afternoon on his motorized bicycle is in the intensive care unit at the United Regional Hospital.
The cyclist, Armin Joshua Smith, was identified by Wichita Falls police.
Authorities Thursday had asked for the public's help in identifying the man.
He suffered an incapacitating head injury after flipping over the handlebars of his bicycle in trying to avoid hitting a dog.
Smith was riding north in the 2800 block of Pennsylvania Road near the 3900 block of Kell West Boulevard at about 12:45 p.m. when witnesses said a dog ran across the street in front of him.
He struck the dog and went over the handlebars.
Smith was not wearing a helmet and was unconscious at the scene.
Police are still investigating the accident. Sgt. John Spragins, public information officer, said the motorized bicycle is legal.
A crime scene unit was called to the accident Thursday, and a small portion of the street was blocked off while police investigated.

I like Robert Boyer's ebooks. They are nice and small... but jam packed with great advice on "why" certain workflows work. They are very inexpensive and should be required reading for anyone starting with A3. I think the url is photo.rwboyer.com
I also regularly read his blog at the same address.

Firstly, and I can't emphasize this enough; I went on Utube and found a video as to how to do the belt replacement on this exact Model. Then with the help of my wife, we just proceed step by step. We took digital photos of the electrical hook-up to be sure to reassemble to electrical correctly; as well as the capstan/idler belt threading. Getting the new belt on to the drive capstan was the hardest part. I loop it over the drum while it was pulled out about 6". I then reached through the drum to tread it around the capstan/idler. Then I moved the drum into place, and SLOWLY wound the drum by hand CW 2 turns, to give the capstan a chance to do the final alignment of the belt/drum. No problemo!

Lindsay Lohan in Ksubi
Lindsay Lohan was seen leaving her probation officer's building after checking in with them. Hopefully Lindsay is finally on the right track and can get back to focusing on her career. I wonder if she has any upcoming projects planned?
For her courthouse visit, Lindsay wore an all black outfit, including a pair of black high rise Kusbi skinny jeans. This is quite a different outfit than the one we saw her out in a few days ago. I do think that these look great on her, we don't see nearly enough celebs in Ksubi and their colors collection is one of my favorites from any brand. You can buy Ksubi jeans online at Net-a-porter.com.
Nicole Richie in Ksubi
I love that Nicole Richie is starting to venture out and try new brands. She was recently doing some press shopping at Satine Boutique in Los Angeles, California. She wore a pair of Ksubi Super Skinny Zip jeans in Black. Nicole seems to love black and red together. She has been caught in the color combination quite a few times recently.
I love that she is back in a pair of Ksubis. We rarely get any sightings of the brand. I just love their jeans. They aren't afraid to think outside the box, plus they were one of the first brands to introduce skinny jeans to the world. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Farfetch for $169.
Denim Event: KSUBI 'The End of the Moon' Store Launch
Ksubi has opened a new flagship on Chapel Street South Yarra in Mebourne, Australia. I'm so happy to hear that Ksubi is flourishing again. They were the first designer brand that I have ever lusted over. They just make such amazing styles.
The interior of the new store was kept modern, but not too modern. It is Ksubi we are talking about. There is a hanging lady on the ceiling, along with a centerpiece of the American flag posted on top of the moon. The interior is just great and is true to the Ksubi aesthetic.
To coincide with the opening, Ksubi also held a launch party. Being Ksubi, nothing was kept to the ordinary. Guests drank out of plastic bags as they partied away. You can click through the images of the launch party and the interior below.
Lindsay Lohan in Ksubi
Lindsay Lohan posed for some photos at the A Decade of Difference event at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. She wore a pair of Ksubi shorts with a sheer button-up and a leather jacket. I think boots would have been better with the look, but it is Lindsay and she loves her tube socks. She does wear them really well though. I think the hat really pulls the look together.
She is looking much more put together here than the previous event that she attended. The nail polish and dye stain looks to have washed off her hands. This is definitely a step up for Lindsay. You can buy Ksubi at Shopbop.

Dreamworlds of Shamanism and Tibetan Buddhism explores the fertile interaction of Buddhism, shamanism, and Tibetan culture with the subject of dreaming. In Tibetan Buddhist literature, there are numerous examples of statements that express the value of dreams as a vehicle of authentic spiritual knowledge and, at the same time, dismiss dreams as the ultra-illusions of an illusory world. Examining the "third place" from the perspective of shamanism and Buddhism, Angela Sumegi provides a fresh look at the contradictory attitudes toward dreams in Tibetan culture. Sumegi questions the longstanding interpretation that views this dichotomy as a difference between popular and elite religion, and theorizes that a better explanation of the ambiguous position of dreams can be gained through attention to the spiritual dynamics at play between Buddhism and an indigenous shamanic presence. By exploring the themes of conflict and resolution that coalesce in the Tibetan experience, and examining dreams as a site of dialogue between shamanism and Buddhism, this book provides an alternate model for understanding dreams in Tibetan Buddhism.

Federal Lawsuit Filed Over FLDS Trust
By Ben Winslow Deseret News
The Fundamentalist LDS Church has filed a federal lawsuit challenging court-ordered reform efforts to its real-estate arm.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City, accuses the attorneys general of Utah and Arizona, the court- appointed special fiduciary of the United Effort Plan Trust, and the judge who reformed that trust of violating the FLDS Church's First Amendment rights.
"The UEP Trust was formed so FLDS Church members could live the United Order and the Law of Consecration by seeking religious stewardships within the meaning of Holy Scripture," church attorney Rod Parker wrote in the lawsuit. "FLDS Church members cannot practice the United Order or the Law of Consecration under the reformed trust."
In 2005, the Utah Attorney General's Office asked the courts to freeze the UEP's assets, alleging that FLDS leader Warren Jeffs and others had fleeced it. A judge in Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court took control of the trust and appointed a special fiduciary to manage the trust and its $110 million in assets, mostly property in the border towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz.
The trust has undergone reforms that pave the way for private property ownership, doing away with the early-Mormon concept of a "United Order," where the FLDS doled out homes and property according to "just wants and needs."
"Under the court's management, the reformed trust has been operated to discriminate against plaintiffs as members of the FLDS faith," Parker wrote, adding that it is part of an ongoing "sociological and psychological war" with members of the polygamous church.
For years, the FLDS have largely ignored reform efforts, following an edict by Jeffs urging his followers to "say nothing, do nothing, sign nothing." The fiduciary, Bruce Wisan, has said the FLDS resistance to reform efforts has cost millions in legal fees and other bills. Following an April raid on the group's ranch in Texas where hundreds of children were placed in state protective custody because of abuse allegations, the church has begun speaking out and challenging the reforms in court.
By carving religion out of the reforms, the FLDS argue the court is violating their right to practice their religion — including polygamy. The lawsuit includes a challenge to Utah's prohibition on plural marriage.
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff called the lawsuit "ridiculous."
"Everything we've done in going to court is to protect the rank- and-file members of the church from losing out on what they were entitled to in the trust because Warren Jeffs was not protecting the trust monies," he told the Deseret News on Monday.
Wisan did not return a call seeking comment. In a separate filing in 3rd District Court last week, Wisan asks a judge to allow the sale of land on the Utah-Arizona border known as the "Berry Knoll Farm" for $3 million.
"Having made a calculated decision to abandon the trust, rather than appear before this court to answer charges of neglect and malfeasance, it appears that FLDS leaders are now launching a full- scale assault against the trust and the fiduciary," Wisan's attorney Mark Callister wrote, adding: "Funds are urgently needed by the trust to pay for past debts, current trust administration and to defend legal actions filed by movants and other parties against the trust."
Parker maintains the FLDS are being deprived of constitutional rights.
"They can't practice their religion without control over their property," Parker told the Deseret News. "It has nothing to do with polygamy so much as it has to do with their ability to practice the united order. They can't do it if the state of Utah is controlling their property. The united order demands it be controlled by the bishop."

Author has written 8 stories for X-Men, Naruto, Fairy Tail, and Rosario + Vampire.
June 28th, 2013:
Meanderings of a Maverick Muse - This is where insights into my fics, review responses, etc. will be posted so that I don't clog up my chapters with Author's Notes all the time. It's (still sort of) brand-spankin' new, so if you are a follower of me in general, feel free to check it out. I may post snippets of chapters on there from time to time so that people do know I'm working on stuff. It should help keep me motivated as well.
I may also post thoughts about new fanfics I have ideas to work on.
My fanfiction:
- Corpse Parade: Complete. Complete crap, I mean. Anyone can tell it's easily my first thing I ever wrote and uploaded.
- Living the Dream: Meh. Dead. My interest in anything X-Men comes and goes too much, because Marvel can't follow a storyline to save its life.
- Whirlpool Country: Re-writing it, again. Will be rather... different.
- Hindsight:Foresight: Update on this fic revolves around WPC updates. No ETA.
- Experiments in Empathy: Working on it!
- Fire Shadow of Fairy Tail: Working on it too, I swear!
- Rewritten: Complete
- Of Vampires and Foxes: Picked up a challenge fic from The Engulfing Silence a while back, finally started posting it.
Myself: Because I feel obligated to post a little something... 30 year old male from Washington DC. I'm a sucker for any fic that has good action/adventure/comedy combination in any way, and I even enjoy romance aspects so long as they aren't completely angst-filled or take up the entire fic with mushy crap. Though if it's written well and doesn't feel rushed, I'll read it - even if it is all 'mushy crap'.
I follow the 'big 3' in the manga world, as well as a handful of others like Beelzebub, Medaka Box, Reborn, RosarioVampire, Claymore, and a few others. On a strange note, lately I've gotten hooked on Harry Potter fics, specifically ones with a Harry Potter/Daphne Greengrass pairing. I bet most of you have no idea who Daphne Greengrass is. I had no idea either. For the silly Western graphic novels, I typically follow X-Men, more specifically Gambit.
Anyway, I could probably post my favorite pairings at this point, but I'll read Naruto paired with pretty much anyone so long as it's written well. My favorite main pairing is Naruto and Sakura, and my favorite crack pairing is Naruto and Tayuya. Lately for some reason I've been on a binge of Naruto family fics, where he is usually the ignored child, or where he comes back from an alternate future and takes the place of a member of the family.
For Harry Potter... I've got a thing for Wrong Boy-Who-Lived fics (I must be weird) and pretty much most fics that have a Harry and Daphne pairing.

Swaddled in 30 extra pounds and a thick gray beard, George Clooney moves through his portion of "Syriana" with furrowed brow and a slow, careful gait. His character, Bob Barnes, is a not-unfamiliar type in the world of movie espionage: the weary, cynical C.I.A. operative on the brink of an attack of conscience. Bob, who has spent his career in cheerful spots like Beirut and Tehran, is the kind of guy who knows a lot more than he says, and who speaks in a low monotone, evading more questions than he answers. When pressed for information - by an aggressive government bureaucrat or by his impatient teenage son (Max Minghella) - his default response seems to be, "It's complicated." Quite so. "Syriana," written and directed by Stephen Gaghan (who also wrote "Traffic," its obvious precursor), is a movie that demands and rewards close attention. Loosely based on the memoirs of a C.I.A. veteran, Robert Baer, on whom Mr. Clooney's character is modeled, it aims to be a great deal more than a standard geopolitical thriller and thereby succeeds in being one of the best geopolitical thrillers in a very long time. Along with Mr. Baer's book "See No Evil," it assimilates a whole shelf of post-9/11 nonfiction and journalism, spinning a complex, intriguing narrative about oil, terrorism, money and power. Parsing its details requires a good deal of concentration: important information is conveyed through whispered conversations and sidelong glances, and you may sometimes wish for a chart diagraming all the patterns of influence, connection and coincidence. But the mental labor of figuring out just what is going on is part of what makes the film such a rich and entertaining experience. — A. O. Scott

David Headley, arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States recently along with his accomplice for alleged links with the Lashkar-e-Taiba, had stayed for three days at two hotels in Paharganj in Central Delhi this March. A Delhi police team visited the hotels on Friday to collect his identification documents.
Following reports that Headley had stayed at De Holiday International and Hotel Anand, a team led by Assistant Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Ravi Shankar visited the hotels for inquiry. While screening the entry books, they found that Headley had stayed for a day at De Holiday International, and later shifted to Hotel Anand.
"He first checked in at De Holiday International around 4.45 p.m. on March 7 and stayed in Room No. 205. He then checked out the next morning and took Room No. 40 in Hotel Anand where he stayed till March 9 evening," said an officer.
Camera footage deleted
During his stay, Headley did not make even a single call using the hotel phone. He did not use any credit card at the hotels. The closed-circuit television camera footage pertaining to that period was deleted in both the hotels long ago.
The police believe that Headley had submitted "valid" identification documents in the hotels. A photocopy of his passport (No. 097536400) bearing his photograph revealed that he had obtained a five-year Indian visa (No. Z314473). The same document carries Abu Dhabi and Pakistan stamps indicating that he had also visited these countries. There were several stamp marks on that page suggesting frequent travels.
A form filled out by Headley for submission to the Foreigners' Regional Registration Office also did not contain much information about him. It only mentioned the five-year visa validity period and that he had arrived in the Capital on March 7, 2009, sources said.
The 24-page passport was issued in the name of Headley in 2006 in the United States and was valid till 2016.
The National Investigating Agency recently registered a case in connection with the conspiracy, which Headley and his Canadian accomplice, Tahawwur Hussain Rana, were part of, hatched to carry out terror strikes in India.
However, the searches at the hotels were carried out by the Special Cell of the Delhi police, independent of the NIA.
The police now hope to carry forward investigations into the Delhi-based links of Headley, who was here apparently to conduct a reconnaissance of the National Defence College, one of the prime targets of the LeT.

I Don't have one personally but i know someone who does.

Nice gesture helps Fla. widow, 84, win big jackpot
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. When Gloria C. MacKenzie went to a Florida supermarket near Tampa last month to buy a Powerball ticket, another person in line did something nice for the 84-year-old widow.
"While in line at Publix, another lottery player was kind enough to let me go ahead of them in line to purchase the winning Quick Pick ticket," she said in a statement Wednesday.
The nice gesture turned out to be a life-changing one for MacKenzie and her family. She came forward Wednesday to claim the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history, $590 million.
A retiree from Maine and a mother of four who lives in a modest, tin-roof house in Zephyrhills, Fla., where the lone winning ticket in the May 18 drawing was sold, MacKenzie took her prize in a lump sum of just over $370 million. After federal taxes, she is getting about $278 million, lottery officials said.
Wearing large sunglasses and dressed in a pink sweater and white pants, she clasped her son's arm after visiting the lottery offices as they made their way to a silver Ford Focus and left quickly. She did not speak to a crowd of reporters outside the building. She was accompanied at the lottery offices by two unidentified attorneys.
MacKenzie bought the winning ticket at a Publix supermarket in the town of about 13,300, which is 30 miles northeast of Tampa. It is best known for the bottled spring water that bears its name - and now, for one of the biggest lottery winners of all time.
The $590 million was the second-largest lottery jackpot in history, behind a $656 million Mega Millions prize in March 2012, but that sum was split, with three winning tickets.
MacKenzie let the lottery computers generate the numbers at random. She said she had previously bought four other tickets for the drawing.
"We are grateful with this blessing of winning the Florida Lottery Powerball jackpot," she said in a statement read by lottery officials. "We hope that everyone would give us the opportunity to maintain our privacy for our family's benefit."
The winner had 60 days to claim the prize. Lottery spokesman David Bishop said MacKenzie, her lawyers and her financial adviser spent about two hours going through the necessary paperwork.
"They had clearly been preparing for this. They took all this time to get everything in order," Bishop said.
Minutes after the announcement, a dozen reporters in Zephyrhills were camped outside MacKenzie's gray duplex, which backs up to a dirt alley and is across from a cow pasture.
Neighbors were surprised by her good fortune.
"She didn't say anything about it. She's so quiet and secluded. She's usually in the house," said James Hill. "I'm very happy for her. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person. She was always pleasant and smiling."
Another neighbor, Don Cecil, joked, "I hope she gets a better place to live."
MacKenzie's neighbors offered few details about her life. They said she mostly kept to herself, but they'd seen her take short walks along the street and exchanged pleasantries with her.

Wind blown corner
Monday, 26 Sep 11 Sunny 15°C / 59°F
The wind had smooshed quite a few things in this part of the garden becauses it has lots of walls and fences to bounce of and spin around. But I'm really pleased to see how many plants do absolutely fine even in the face of a sever flattening, most notably Sanguisorba 'Red Thunder' which has grown to double it's usual height with all the rain this year.
Months of gales haven't fazed it but the most recent ones changed direction so often it finally cowped over, but a week on (and still flattened daily by wind) it's doing really well in it's almost horizontal position. Because it's up in the raised bed you can still see it's flowers really well, in fact, you can view them against the patio slabs so you get an extra dimension of enjoyment.
The dark Sweet peas have struggled a bit with some stems being literally ripped apart, but those that have survived have carried on happily, albeit in completely the wrong place, and the Scabious growing through it looks fabulous. There are also pale sweetpeas, another plant that came out completely the wrong colour) which did extremely well and started to take over the back of the bed. If they'd been the colour I wanted I'd have been over the moon. The wind has repeatedly flopped them over the smaller plants, but constant retying seems to be working to keep them from smothering things entirely.
The wee Rowan growing in a large tub didn't fare too well, it's leaves went yellow then red in one week and are now almost all ripped off, probably because it is the tallest plant and gets the worst of the wind.
The Santolina has also been a monster this year, growing immensely then being split by winds. I've chopped it back several time taking away huge armfuls of prunings that equate to more growth than it's produced in it's entire previous life. It's become so huge I may have to move it.

The Publican and the Pharisee
2007-10-24 by Tom Steagald
I am working on this text this week, familiar as it is. I would alert you who are doing the same not to miss Amy Jill-Levine's wonderful treatment of the pericope in her book, The Misunderstood Jew (Harper, 2006, pp. 40-41).
One thought that strikes me this week is that the players are both in the Temple. This may seen a small point, but as often as I have preached and taught this text I have never considered that part of it. It is not just that the Pope and a pimp went to St. Peter's to pray (Crossan), but that God does not admit one and not the other, but both--much to the Pharisee/Pope/Tom's chagrin. In sum, if the lavish hospitality of God to "outsiders" can wrankle at times we still expect that. What we can't abide is the hospitality to others within the church. Which is to say that often we are unable to be the least bit hospitable to insiders--whatever their real or imagined offense (Remember Garrison Keillor's line to the effect that "we have not spoken to the Bunsens in twenty years, I have no idea why").
Could the Pharisee's prayer even be a bit of a dig at God? I am so righteous as to make distinctions were you (God) do not? If so, his attitude is in keeping with Jonah, at least, who surely wants to make distinction regarding Ninevah where God does not and does what he can to subvert the gracious intent of God. The analogy breaks down in that Ninevites were certainly outsiders, but the desire to make distinction where God does not is still apt.
I am struggling with this business of how we in the church (and I am thinking here of my congregation but it could be extrapolated further) sometimes are prone to regard each other with more contempt than we regard those who are not in the Temple at all. If that makes any kind of sense.
It is still early.
The Cries of a Sinner
2007-10-24 by Dee Dee Haines
Thank you to Rick Brand for reminding us of the universality of all of God's creation. Perhaps we cannot truly understand the cry, "God, be merciful to me, a sinner!" without again coming to grips with the reality that everything has been fashioned by God with the intention of enjoyment for all.
Our sinful brokenness invites us to claim, for ourselves, a kind of ownership that leads to a specific virus of idolatry of self--- that is never consistent with a depth-filled understanding of grace. "It's mine, I've earned it." If we fall into this pattern of thinking, it won't be long before it is followed by, "If so-and-so worked as hard as I do, they'd have what they need."
I remember when I first moved into this manse. There was a lovely view of the hillside from the south facing conservatory. And then a builder began to uproot the vegetation and fashion a new structure that totally obscured the vision of what had once been a source of peace and tranquillity. I remember saying to someone, "They've ruined my view." A very wise man said to me, "Oh, it's your view, is it?"
It's a humbling experience to embrace the concept that everything we have is not only provided by God, but also under God's guardianship. Surely, any humble confession must begin with this basic concept that we have to learn again, and again.
Thanks, Rick, for the thoughtful reminder!

Psalm 65
2007-10-24 by Rick Brand
Indeed, David has mentioned that there are other texts in the lectionary. We are in Stewardship campaign. We are having rain for the first time in ages. In my town we are exactly where Psalm 65 is--we are full of praise and thanksgiving for all the blessings we have. We are also full of the recognition that we do not really deserve all thes blessings considering what we have done to the world: war in Iraq, pollution, wasteful consumerism, refusal to demand of ourselves sacrifices.
In Iona, where they have no street lights, we were amazed again at the brillance of the stars, and these are the same stars that all people see. The recognitions of the blessings of nature carry us towards a recognition of our universal humanity. There are no American stars or Egyptian stars. The rain today could have been in the rivers in China yesterday. The God of creation is the Lord of all worlds.
The last part of the Psalm rolls out amazing thanksgiving for the gift of fertility rooted in water. We have watched that as well in our area. The lack of water and the lack of crops is a very serious problem.
Psalm 65 says it all for us right now. If we are this grateful for what we have, what are we going to do to express and share that joy?
Susan Sparks, Highlights from this Week's Articles in "Lectionary Homiletics," and California
2007-10-23 by David von Schlichten
Susan Sparks' reflection on the word "libation" in the passage from 2 Timothy offers some humorous and stimulating thoughts that remind us that there are other readings for Sunday besides the famous Pharisee/Publican story of Luke 18, one of those parables that are so magnificent that they tend to eclipse all other pericopes for a given Sunday.
Scroll down to read Sparks' blog entry.
Another matter for consideration is the fires of California. People will search for answers to why questions. Some will claim that the fires are a punishment from God, while others of us will argue that the fires are the result of human hubris and ineptitude. What we know for certain is that God calls us Christians to help people in need.
We could tie the libation passage of 2 Timothy to this call for us Christians to make sacrifices to help the victims of the fires.
Also, prejudices will emerge as we watch these fires – prejudices against Californians, celebrities, immigrants, and others who are likely affected directly by the fires. May we recall the Gospel from Luke 18, which warns against prejudice and teaches that the grace of God is for all.
Our articles in Lectionary Homiletics for this week focus on this extraordinary parable from Luke 18. Here are highlights.
Susan Eastman offers insightful observations about the language of the text. For instance, the presence of the demonstrative article before "sinner" in the Greek indicates that the tax collector regards himself as, not merely a sinner, but the sinner, i.e., especially depraved and marginalized. The Pharisee, by contrast, is praying to or concering himself (v.11).
Susan also draws in Jeremiah 14, in which the prophet laments the people's sin and begs for God's mercy. We live, not by our righteousness, but by God's magnanimity.
Finally, Susan reminds us that the negative depiction of the Pharisee is not a condemnation of Judaism. Rather, the Pharisee and the tax collector represent two different approaches within Judaism.
Go to the samples section for this Sunday to read Susan's entire article for free.
"Pastoral Implications"
Mary Clark Moschella wisely notes that the issue of pride is tricky for us Christians. We are to be humble, but being humble does not demand being self-abnegating. Conversely, there is no sin in being self-confident and having a certain degree of pride. Hubris is the sin. Moschella succinctly states, "When we find ourselves looking down on others we need to get down on the ground and start looking up at God, the giver of life" (p.29).
"Preaching the Lesson"
Anthony Dean Bailey offers questions that can help preachers and hearers to see this parable anew, such as: "Did the toll agent [the tax collector] know he was justified when he went home [ . . . ] Is the Pharisee so different from many respectable Christians [ . . . ] What kind of God acts in this parable [ . . . ] Did [the toll agent] change any of his behavior? Does that matter?" (p.32)
Bailey concludes his article by saying that what matters most is not whether one is like the Pharisee, tax collector, or both, but whether " [ . . . ] we trust the God disclosed by this parable to justify us even if we don't get our lives and our words right [.]" (p.33)
"A Sermon"
In "The Pride of Prejudice," D. Jay Losher, Jr. quotes Martin Luther, the igniter of the Reformation (which some of us in the Church will commemorate on Sunday). Losher recalls Luther writing that there are at least two types of sinners. Some sinners confess their sins but give up hope and go on sinning, while others confess their sins and, full of self-loathing, beg and yearn for forgiveness. Losher concludes, "For Martin Luther, the more I think of myself as a saint, the more sinful in fact I am. The more I think of myself as a sinner, the more saintly in fact I become" (p.33).
Looking forward to more from Susan Sparks and thoughts from other bloggers, I am
Yours in Christ,

SAN FRANCISCO Clinical benefit from use of a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor drug may be determined by examining blood cells days after a patient receives treatment. The drug, entinostat, is the first histone deacetylase inhibitor successfully tested in a randomized, placebo-controlled study in metastatic breast cancer and is the first to show that clinical outcome can be predicted shortly after administration.
The findings, reported at the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference: Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics, held Nov. 12-16, 2011, represent an advance in the goal to offer patients only those therapies that will help treat cancer effectively, the researchers said.
"The ability to have a marker of benefit within the first several weeks of using this drug represents an exciting advance in personalized medicine," said lead researcher Peter Ordentlich, Ph.D., executive director of translational science and a founder of Syndax Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Waltham, Mass. Syndax Pharmaceuticals developed entinostat, an oral small-molecule drug that inhibits enzymes that alter the packaging of DNA inside the nucleus, which controls gene expression.
"The goal of entinostat in breast cancer is to extend the benefit of hormone therapy and delay the time that patients will need to use chemotherapy," said Ordentlich. More than 160,000 women are diagnosed each year with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive invasive breast cancer, and many are treated with agents that block the hormone. But most women become resistant to these therapies, and entinostat, combined with antihormone agents, is meant to extend their benefit, he said.
To test that strategy in ER-positive metastatic breast cancer, Syndax Pharmaceuticals conducted ENCORE-301, a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study (n=130) testing the use of exemestane, an aromatase inhibitor, with either entinostat or placebo.

Late Mardi Gras meets spring break for rowdy fete
NEW ORLEANS Revelers bared flesh and threw beads on Bourbon Street until the sun rose on Mardi Gras to mark the celebration that takes on so many shapes in New Orleans, from massive parade floats to gay costume balls to jazz-inflected second-line dancing.
Shortly after sunrise, members of the traditionally African-American Krewe of Zulu boarded floats at the Louisiana Superdome for their parade through the city. Leading the parade on horseback was Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
The parade of Rex, King of Carnival, followed - and so did a slew of street marching clubs, including one led by entertainer Pete Fountain.
Gray skies hung over the city and threatened rain, but spirits didn't appear dampened for the all-out party that lasts until the Christian season of Lent begins Wednesday. This Carnival season has seemed bigger and more brash than in recent years since Hurricane Katrina, perhaps because this year it falls during spring break.
On Bourbon Street, revelers wearing costumes that lampooned current events strolled through garbage turned to mush by Monday night's rain. Some drew inspiration from the BP oil spill.
Allen Logue, 58, was clad as a one-man oil spill clean-up crew. The oil field consultant from Barataria, La., didn't have to do much shopping to build his costume. He already had a hard-hat helmet and BP-branded sweat shirt from work he did for the company in Alaska.
"The only thing I had to shop for was the Jim Beam and that was to ease the pain of the oil spill," Logue said.
Logue also carried super-absorbent kitchen napkins to clean any mess he might encounter, though the most likely spill on Bourbon Street would be beer and not crude oil.
For Paul and Amy Maudive of Long Beach, Calif., coming to Mardi Gras has been a tradition since 1976. Each year they dress in an Elvis-themed costume with friends and family. After Hurricane Katrina they wrapped themselves in the blue tarps that covered so many blown-away rooftops after the storm, and last year they billed themselves as Elvitar, in tribute to the movie "Avatar."
This year, they were all oil spill.
Clad in oil-stained jumpsuits with Elvis-style capes, they'd glued plastic birds and crabs to their costumes.
Paul Maudive wasn't entirely happy with the work they did on the makeshift costume. "We got too drunk. We could have done better," he said.
Sylvia Beyer, 57, of New Orleans led a group of 5 women in grass skirts and hats with the BP logo. On the back of their shirts were slogans, such as Broken Promises, Brazen Polluters and Bloody Pathetic. As they walked along, they passed out makeshift voodoo dolls with a photo of former BP CEO Tony Hayward pasted to each.
"We just wanted to stick it to BP. We put more time into these costumes than BP did in their disaster plan," Beyer said.
Locals were also in a triumphant mood.
"We're back all the way, and we'll continue climbing," said Herschel Abbott Jr., the king of Rex.

Out With The Handshake, In With The Fist Bumpby T Goodman
An expression of courtesy, used particularly when meeting someone for the first time and when saying goodbye, may soon be a thing of the past: the handshake. Why? It's too germy. Already there are calls for handshakes to be banned in health care settings and they are substantiated by studies, the most recent one comparing the levels of bacteria communicated by a handshake, a high-five, and a fist bump. Yes, you read that right....

Want This Updated Product? The USB Pet Rockby Laurie Kay Olson

It was one of the greatest marketing campaigns in history and remains iconic almost 40 years later. Now it is time to pull that rock into a new millennium with the USB Pet Rock.

Want This New Cool Gadget? The Toolbox Hair Clipby Laurie Kay Olson

Health care organizations and charities have traditionally focused on relatively inexpensive strategies for combating infectious diseases, said Ching-Hon Pui, M.D., director of the Leukemia/Lymphoma Division at St. Jude and American Cancer Society F.M. Kirby clinical research professor. This decision has left many children with cancer in much of the developing regions of Asia, South and Central America, Africa and the Middle East without access to effective medical treatment, he added. Pui is a co-author of an editorial on the geographical inequality of pediatric cancer treatment that appears in the May 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"More than 60 percent of the world's children have little or no access to effective cancer therapy,?Pui said. "And their survival rates are very inferior to rates in countries with advanced health care systems. However, the World Health Organization and many international charities don't even list chronic diseases, including cancer, as health priorities on their agendas.?/p>
The increasing pediatric cancer death rate in countries with limited resources is especially tragic because strategies exist that could be used to ensure wider access to effective cancer treatment, according to Raul C. Ribeiro, M.D., director of the St. Jude International Outreach Program and another co-author of the editorial. The authors note that one of the most effective strategies is a cooperative process between institutions, called twin

"The web," or "world-wide web" is a term for the system of hypertext linked documents accessed over the internet, with a web browser. The
www that comes before most webpages is a reference to the "world-wide web."
In 1989, a British engineer, computer scientist and CERN employee (Tim Berners-Lee) wrote a proposal for what would become the web, publicly introducing the project in 1990 with Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau. The introduction of Mosaic (a graphical web browser) in 1993 by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is widely regarded as the turning point for the web, which is now the most popular portion of the internet.
While the terms "web" and "internet" are often used interchangeably in colloquial language, they are not the same. The web is simply one of many services available on the inter-connected networks that make up the internet.
A more thorough run-down of the web is available at Wikipedia.

FB wants to monetize its popular mobile app
The grandma check is a cherished tradition
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
eBay (
) disclosed within its second quarter 2010 results that it is
adding about 1 million new PayPal accounts every month and had 87
million active registered users at the end of Q2 2010 [1].
We believe PayPal's aggressive expansion in Asia, faster
adoption of 'Bill Me Later' service, and increasing use of mobile
phones apps are some of the factors driving PayPal's growth.
If eBay is able sustain this kind of growth in the long term as
well, it could translate to a 10% upside to the
$30 Trefis price estimate for eBay's stock
Upside potential for eBay's stock
We estimate that PayPal constitutes about 18% of the
$30 Trefis price estimate for eBay's stock
. We believe eBay will be able to increase PayPal's registered user
base from 77 million in 2009 to 215 million by the end of Trefis
forecast period, at an average growth rate of around 16%.
PayPal's user base grew at a rate of 21% from 2008 to 2009 and
it has shown similar growth in the first six months of 2010.
If PayPal is able to sustain this kind of growth in the future, it
could increase its registered user base to 292 million instead of
the 215 million that we forecast by 2016. This scenario could
spell a 10% upside to the
$30 Trefis price estimate for eBay's stock
Below we discuss some of the driving factors behind PayPal's
growth in detail.
1. PayPal's aggressive expansion in Asia
In Q2 2010, PayPal tapped the Asian market aggressively:
2. Faster adoption of Bill Me Later service
PayPal's Bill Me Later is a service that lets consumers make
purchases online and make payments later. The service has
gained rapid adoption recently and can benefit from reduced credit
availability for consumers through traditional sources like bank
credit cards.
3. Increased usage of PayPal mobile phone app
PayPal's mobile phone app has seen increased use. PayPal's
mobile payment volume in the first six months of 2010 was double
the volume for all of 2009 [1].
What do you think? Will PayPal be able to sustain such
growth for much longer?
You can see the complete $30 Trefis Price estimate
for eBay's stock here.

Gina Carano 'very open' to a return to MMA 'if circumstances were right'
MAR 24, 2014 7:00p ET
Gina Carano has been very busy over the past few years, landing roles in several feature films including "Fast & Furious 6" as well as her latest movie, "In The Blood," which opens on April 4.
Ever since her last fight in Strikeforce in 2009, Carano has turned her focus solely to acting because she needed to dedicate herself to that art 100 percent if she was ever going to make a career out of it. Right away, Carano landed action roles like in the movie "Haywire," where she starred opposite Hollywood A-listers like Michael Fassbender and Bill Paxton.
She's still doing the action-movie thing these days. But Carano turned a corner in her latest movie, in which she was finally able to drop the tough-girl facade for at least one major scene, and it opened her eyes to what was possible in the future.
"One of the things I really like doing that shows up in 'In the Blood' is an emotional scene, which it was so hard to get to that place, but once I got there and I did it, I'm so proud of that," Carano told FOX Sports on Monday. "There's fight scenes that I've done that I'm really, really proud of, but for that moment, that day, walking away I felt, 'That's what it's about.'
"I think that the world and the entertainment business makes it really hard. Because they see you're good at something and they want to see you do that over and over. Sometimes actors and actresses say, 'That's what I'm good at, that's where I'm staying, that's where I make my money,' but for me personally, I just need to constantly be growing."
Beyond her role in 'In the Blood,' Carano is definitely aware of the other reason her name has been in the news so much lately. UFC commentator Joe Rogan managed to single-handedly put Carano at the tip of the tongue of every fan and reporter when he teased that the UFC was on the verge of making a huge move in the women's division, possibly matching up champion Ronda Rousey with one of the biggest fights in UFC history.
UFC president Dana White immediately threw water on Rogan's flames, but where there's smoke there's fire, and it sounds as if Carano isn't opposed to the idea of coming back to fighting if she gets the right offer. Details were sketchy because of confidentiality, but the first-ever face of women's MMA definitely didn't shut down the idea of fighting in the UFC one day soon.
"I don't mind it at all. I've never retired. I've never officially said that," Carano said. "For some reason a part of me has always kept it open. I don't know, there's a certain part of me that thinks if circumstances were right, and I could keep doing what I'm trying to make my future into, that's an ideal world. If circumstances were right, you never know. I'm very open to it."
The circumstances could mean any number of scenarios, but first and foremost Carano still wants to be able to pursue her acting career without sacrificing the foundation she's built in the past five years. While she couldn't reveal the nature of how far her discussions have gone about coming back, Carano did say there have been some interesting conversations already, and she's open to the possibility of returning if everything falls perfectly into place.
"I feel like I can't say too much. I've got all this information that if I could just speak freely, this is actually what's going on," Carano teased. "I wish I could open up my mind and tell you exactly the things that I've seen and the conversations that I've had, but I think to sum it up in a nice, safe way for me is if circumstances were right, and if it's a good enough circumstance (I would come back) because my first love is MMA.
"It's not something that I ever really like to share with people, it's something that I did because it made me feel good. I had no idea how popular MMA was ever going to get. It's just something that really straightened me out. It wasn't yoga, it wasn't anything else, and it still is something that I practice and I love to train. Of course I haven't trained for a fight in a long time, so it gets kind of interesting when these rumors start coming up. But if I ever did do something like that, I would want the circumstances to be correct and right."
Carano understands that she's been out of action for five years, and with that time off comes a whole lot of dulled edges and ring rust. To return to fighting, Carano would need to sharpen her skills with a new fight team and a slew of new training partners.
There is also the financial component because if Carano drops out of the Hollywood scene for six months to prepare and get ready for a fight, that means money out of her pocket and a lot of potential acting opportunities missed.
"I'm more of a fan of MMA now than I've ever been. I'm saying if the circumstance was right, I'd definitely consider it. If the circumstance were right"
— Gina Carano on a potential return to fighting
"I would definitely take something like that extremely seriously," Carano said. "I would dedicate myself to it, and need the time because you're taking somebody who hasn't fought in a while, that hasn't been in the fight camp-type environment; and it would have to be done in a time where there would be enough time for me to get ready for that and be able to support myself during that time because that's all I'd be doing is taking that seriously, and it would take me away from other projects or potential projects that I've been working this far in my life to get to.
"Sometimes I look at it like this -- what do you want to do in life? By the time you're 80 and you look back at what you've done and the decisions that you made, you want to have pride and respect in what you've done. Being a paid athlete and doing something like that in such a professional way because MMA has grown, I mean you've got nutritionists, you've got the research to back up what works and what doesn't work, and it's such a beautiful thing now. MMA fighters are some of the best fighters in the world, and now they're being treated like it."
When Carano first started fighting, not only were women not competing in the UFC, but they were barely a blip on the MMA radar. Now in just a few short years, there are two women's divisions in the UFC, Rousey is one of the sport's biggest stars, and women will headline an upcoming season of "The Ultimate Fighter."
Carano can't deny that she would love to be a part of it all over again just to see the growth of the seeds she helped to plant all those years ago. Everyone in the sport seems enthusiastic about a Gina Carano return to MMA, and she's willing to entertain the idea as well -- as long as it's the right opportunity.
"When I was fighting, I feel kind of ancient sometimes, because I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, that's not the way it was!' It was hard to walk in the gym and have another woman to train with, and now it's like they have groups of females that train together, and there's so many good females out there. They've all been really positive, and I really appreciate Cris Cyborg saying that and Ronda saying that (they would like me to come back); it makes me feel really kind of warm," Carano said about a potential return.
"I'm more of a fan of MMA now than I've ever been. I'm saying if the circumstance was right, I'd definitely consider it -- if the circumstance were right."

The memo arrived on paper.
Because it was 1994.
A notice, to all NPR staff, proclaiming, "Internet is coming to NPR!"
And there was no directive to log on to this fast-growing "organization," by the way. "If you do not want to use Internet," the memo read, "simply do nothing."
You can see more highlights from NPR's pre-Internet days at the Nprchives Tumblr.
