Fat Loss for Women
How it Works
When it comes to fat loss, it seems like the odds are stacked against women. For one thing, men are "genetically designed to have a higher percentage of muscle and less fat."[1] This of course means that men have an advantage when it comes to burning calories and getting that rock hard body.
There's also the fact that men's bodies respond more quickly to exercise, while women's bodies hit starvation mode first before actually losing fat. [2] Another factor is aging, which makes weight management difficult for both men and women. Then there's pregnancy. And to top it all off, women have to contend with the hormone factor, wherein higher levels of estrogen predispose their bodies to store and retain fat. All in all, it does sound like a recipe for unfairness, especially to women with ultra busy lifestyles. With a little work though (okay, a lot of work) and some proven tricks of the trade, you ladies would never have to worry about uneven odds and fat loss differences between men and women.
The Sweet Sweat Factor
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggested that women need at least 60 minutes of moderate exercise a day to prevent weight gain or by working out intensely for 30 minutes.[3] Since you need to work harder in order to achieve fat loss, you will benefit greatly by getting a good thermogenic workout like lifting weights. Use Sweet Sweat to help you workout longer and make the exercise feel easier for better results.
Made from powerful antioxidants and nourishing oils such as Jojoba, Tocopheryl acetate, pomegranate, acai and aloe vera, Sweet Sweat helps promote circulation and energy during exercise.* Doing the right intense workout will help accelerate thermogenesis, a process where heat energy is produced through physical activity.
For women who are looking to burn fat fast or shave those extra inches off their waist, thigh, arms, etc., you'll be happy to know that weightlifting is one of the best ways to shape these areas. Sweet Sweat workout enhancer is effective in targeting "slow to respond" problem areas, improving circulation and energy during your exercise.* Cellulite begins when excess fat accumulates in these problem areas. Improving circulation helps minimize the appearance of the orange peel look.

Obama's Deal with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Robert Reich: I've been watching (and occasionally trying to deal with) the Chamber for years, and all I know is it has a deep, abiding belief in cutting taxes on the wealthy, eroding regulations that constrain Wall Street, cutting back on rules that promote worker health and safety, getting rid of the minimum wage, repealing the new health-care law, fighting unions, cutting back Medicare and Social Security, reducing or eliminating corporate taxes, and, in general, taking the nation back to the days before the New Deal. So what, exactly, is the deal Obama is pitching to the Chamber?

Abraham Lincoln was the only US president to be granted a patent. When he filed his application for a "device for buoying vessels over shoals", US patent examiners still required inventors to provide a working model, as well as a technical description of the invention. Lincoln's filing has been gathering dust in a vault since the mid-19th century. The US Patent Office in Arlington, Virginia, has now found the original model and is putting it on public display as a museum exhibit, along with his patent, number 6469.

Tales from the road: 'The haul to the Hall'
If there's one thing I've learned about myself over 37 years of living inside this body it's that there are few things that can pick me up faster than the following four f-words: Family, friends, food, football.
Fortunately, despite battling bronchitis and a severely painful back over the past couple of weeks, I've been lucky to get a healthy dose of that stuff with the last 24 hours leaning heavily toward the food & football.
Sunday was a bit of a blur after making the early morning drive from Rochester Hills, Michigan to Canton, Ohio, but boy was it worth the effort! I arrived at the Hall of Fame in time to take a tour with the Cardinals broadcast team. What an amazing experience it was to see all the artifacts from the game I've loved watching for over the majority of the past four decades.
I especially enjoyed seeing the reactions of guys like Ron Wolfley, Damien Anderson and Rolando Cantu who all played the game.
Seeing how well-represented the Cardinals are in the Hall reminded me about just how proud of a franchise it is and how lucky I am to be in my ninth year working for them. The moment that stole the show was when Spanish voice of the Cards Gabriel Trujillo (@LaVozRoja on Twitter) recognized his call playing on one of the screens.
After the tour it was nearly game time and I could sense that everyone around me was sharing my excitement for the return of football. I have no doubt most of you have already digested what we saw in Sunday's preseason opener between the Cardinals and the Saints in Canton. And while the performance may have been a bit of a letdown, in the end I think that we learned very little about what this team's makeup will be in the upcoming season.
The overwhelming feeling after the 17-10 loss was disappointment in and for Kevin Kolb, whose miserable performance on the field was made worse by how short-lived it was. I'm not sure what the difference is between a rib contusion and a bruised chest muscle, but the thing that may be bleeding most from Kolb right now is his confidence and the confidence his teammates have that he's the guy for the job.
As I sit here pounding away on my keyboard, I should let you know I'm at a desk in a state-of-the-art new dormitory at the Kansas City Chiefs summer home, Missouri Western State University, which is located about an hour north of KC in St. Joseph, Missouri. We made the drive here after one of the better dining experiences I've ever had at a gas station earlier this afternoon. No joke, Oklahoma Joe's, the place some have called the best BBQ in World, can be found in a gas station located on the South side of the city, and it's the real deal (I recommend the brisket, pulled pork and the ribs after trying them all).
The Cardinals will be practicing here at the home of the Griffons and former home of one time Colts, Lions and recently Jags FB Gijon Robinson, who tops the list of three former MWSU players to get to the NFL (heavy research afternoon).
The team arrives later Monday night and will immediately get back to training for Friday night's game against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Thanks to the Cardinals moving Dave Pasch and Ron Wolfley to ABC 15's television coverage this year, I get to do what I love more than anything in broadcasting and handle the radio play-by-play duties for this game, as well as the home games against the Raiders and Broncos.
In the meantime, I'll be checking in both here on ArizonaSports.com as well as during the Doug & Wolf show for the next couple days and look forward to providing more football news than food news, unless of course the cafeteria grub is as impressive as the stuff you get at gas stations in these parts!

Hi too all,
A friend just recommended this WordPress plug-in CPT-onomiesto me, but after messing with it forhours I'm not understanding how to create the relationships that I want. He said it's an excellent way of working with large amounts of WP pages or posts that need to be view by categories, tags, etc.
Here are the relationships that I would like to create:
Portfolio (would create this main directory: http://www.mywebsite.com/portfolio)
— Print (category of portfolio http://www.mywebsite.com/portfolio/print)
— — brochure sample (/print/brochure-sample)
— — direct mail sample (/print/direct-mail-sample)
— — catalog sample
— Web (category of portfolio http://www.mywebsite.com/portfolio/web)
— — vacation rental website
— — sporting good product website
— — photography website
— Illustration (category of portfolio http://www.mywebsite.com/portfolio/illustration)
— — shoe illustration
— — clothing illustration
— — architectural rendering
I'm confused as to where to start. I've been looking for more information on this subject to better understand how it works, but I'm coming up dry. Any input is greatly appreciated.
You don't really need that plugin. Check out http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/
I've used a post type as a taxonomy using relationships on Advanced Custom Fields before, however it now supports all sorts of custom fields on taxonomies, so no need to fake a taxonomy to add functionality :p
Cool. Thanks! This plugin has much better documentation which is what I really needed.
I'll start digging through this today.

Frozen World
Snow Bright, Snow Light
BILL McKIBBEN
Everyone knows, of course, that snow is bright. Just how bright didn't really dawn on me until the day I prepared to climb my first big glaciated peak, Washington's Mt. Rainier. My friend and rope team leader watched as I slathered on sunscreen. But before I put the tube away, he suggested, "Make certain you've done the insides of your nostrils." The insides of my nostrils? Unless I'm standing on my head, that's one of the few places where the sun never shines. "Hey," he explained, "You're going to be spending the day on a mirror." Not quite, as it turns out, but close enough.
The scientific measure of a surface's reflectivity is called "albedo." A perfectly reflective surface would have an albedo of 1.0; the earth taken as a whole is about 0.4. But nice clean snow? Brand new dry snow has an albedo of 0.9-it reflects more than 90% of incoming sunlight.
"It's because of the crystalline structure," explained Arthur Judson, who began his career with the Forest Service as a snow ranger doing avalanche control and over the next 40 years helped develop the science of avalanche forecasting. Judson-who grew up on the East Coast's snowiest belt, New York's Tug Hill Plateau, and who lives now in Steamboat Springs amid Colorado's snowiest passes-points out that when snow first falls, the crystals are at their sharpest. Classic skiers know that's important because it means the flake's sharp edges will grab a layer of kick wax and not let go. But it also contributes to the snow's brightness.
"Those new crystals have all kinds of reflecting surfaces on them," said Judson. Those delicate branching tips are like a mine full of diamonds-a drift of new snow is really a collection of angles and facets, all of them scattering and reflecting incoming light. That's why you can ski so easily without a headlamp on a full moon following a new snow. Even though sunlight is six magnitudes brighter, the snow reflects enough of the moonlight to illuminate the woods.
As the snow ages, however, "there's a vapor transfer from the tips-from the sharpest points-towards the center," Judson explained. "It gradually goes from sharp cornered plates to more rounded grains. When you get down to wet snow, all those tips pretty much disappear, and you're left with nearly spherical grains." Those grains have fewer reflective surfaces, and hence absorb more solar radiation. By the time snow is old and dirty, its albedo may have dropped as low as 30 percent.
This albedo effect has global implications. Snow is one of the forces that keeps our planet cool-it acts as a mirror, bouncing incoming solar radiation back out to space. But as we dump our carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and begin the implacable heating of our globe, the extent and length of snow cover begins to diminish. And that melting sets off a vicious cycle-the less snow there is, the more the brown earth absorbs heat, and the hotter it gets. In turn, that means less snow.
Even the conversion of snow-covered tundra to boreal forest is enough to change the albedo. All those spruces soak up solar heat that the snow would just bounce back. Across the Arctic Ocean, computer models indicate that ice and snow cover may entirely disappear by mid-century. The blue ocean that will replace them is, by comparison, a heat sponge. This same principle explains why ski tracks melt as they do come spring. If a twig or rock is sticking up through the white, it absorbs the sun's heat instead of reflecting it back. That heat is passed down the stem of the plant, or the body of the rock, starting to melt out even the parts below the snow line.
But if snow's brightness has deep global consequences, it also has strong effects on us as individuals. Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, leads many people to feel depressed during the winter months, apparently due to the lack of light. According to one theory, the brain's pineal gland increases production of the hormone melatonin when it gets dark; this hormone in turn causes sleepiness.
No one is diagnosed SAD at the equator, where the amount of light stays the same year-round. But incidence seems to increase steadily as latitudes move north. Two percent of northern Europeans suffer badly, with as many as ten percent showing some symptoms. Sufferers are advised to sit in front of special bulbs for 45 minutes a day, keeping their eyes open so the light gets in.
But snow diminishes the effects of SAD. In snowy latitudes, the incidence of SAD becomes less common, even though you're moving farther north and further into the dark. The brightness of the snow-nature's own light box-seems enough to ward off the winter blues, as long as you get outside into the natural light.
Snow's brightness may explain why you start feeling grumpy if you don't get to ski for a few days, and why those Decembers when the snow just won't come are so unbearably depressing. It may also explain a little bit of the March syndrome, SAD in reverse. "I get depressed in the spring as soon as the snow starts to melt," said Judson. "It's been that way for 50 years."
Snow bright, snow light…bring on that albedo!

It's no secret that the insertion of IV needles, the puncture of
immunizations or other necessary but invasive medical procedures can
cause some children to react by screaming or sometimes by flailing.
According to Lindsey Cohen, an associate professor of psychology and recipient of the Georgia State's Outstanding Faculty Achievement Award in 2009, medical staff and parent behavior can help but might also exacerbate the situation. For example, excessive reassurance ("don't worry, everything's going to be all right, don't worry!"), giving too much control ("tell me when you are ready") and criticism ("you are acting like a baby") might prompt, encourage or reinforce child distress.
"We've videotaped children in these stressful medical situations and performed behavioral analyses, examining the interactions among discrete parent, nurse, and child behavior," Cohen said. "Some of the findings have lead to recommendations of how adults can best coach upset children."
Based on Cohen's assessments, behavioral interventions to help children cope with the stress have been developed. These include deep breathing and relaxation, or distractions during a stressful procedure.
Cohen's pediatric pain research also incorporates technology. Recently, Cohen completed work on a project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) where his team developed an interactive parent training program, "Bear Essentials," involving animated bears that teach and demonstrate for parents those behaviors that might minimize children's distress as well as behaviors to avoid during children's immunizations.
He also received a new grant from the NIH to develop a virtual reality biofeedback computer game that will immerse children in a distracting computer game where they guide a space ship and earn points by relaxing their body and breathing deeply. This will be evaluated with children undergoing broken limb evaluation and casting.

MHS athletes, supporters have fun raising cancer funds | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
$2,500 raised through 'Coaches vs. Cancer' games
Middleton High School athletes and supporters raised more than $2,500 for cancer-related charities through a variety of events honoring community members and groups fighting the disease.
Middleton High School assistant principal Mandi Maurice said $1,189.96 was raised for the school's Relay for Life chapter, a student group raising funds that will also help benefit the fight against cancer. The money came from a three-minute bucket pass during halftime at games, along with Wall of Fame card sales at the girls' basketball game on Jan. 31 and from the sale of Luminaria bags at the games.
Another $563 was raised from the sale of Wall of Hope cards at the boys' basketball game on Feb. 1. That money will be donated to the James R. Helmuth Benefit Fund. James and his family will be presented a check at an assembly the Wednesday morning.
The Wall of Hope was created game night by pinning Coaches vs. Cancer cards on the trophy case. Each card was sold for a donation of $1 or more, honoring a person from the donor's life affected by cancer. MHS basketball players sold the cards the week of the events and cards were for sale during games from the Coaches vs. Cancer volunteers.
The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches that empowers basketball coaches, their teams, and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
Finally, MHS guidance counselor Marcy Smith said nearly $1,000 was raised from T-shirt sales in advance and at the games.
The boys' and girls' basketball teams both got in on the fundraising spirit.
The MHS girls team hosted an event in conjunction with its game against Madison East on Jan. 31, while the boys held an event for the second consecutive year when the Cardinals hosted Verona on Friday.
Last season the Middleton boys' basketball team held a Coaches vs. Cancer game against Madison West. Funds were raised in honor of Matt Meinholz, a Middleton senior basketball player who is currently in his second semester in his freshman year at UW-La Crosse.
This year the girls game honored three MHS staff members who have all bravely battled cancer -- Karyn Baxter, Linda Bremmer and Kathleen Shaffer.
The boys game honored James Helmuth, a fifth-grader at Elm Lawn Elementary. James is a basketball player as well as a huge fan of the game. He was diagnosed with adrenal cortical carcinoma nearly a year ago.
"He continues to inspire others as he battles this disease,'' MHS boys basketball coach Kevin Bavery said.
Donations for James are accepted via a tax-deductible fund at the Bank of Cross Plains.
"Basketball programs that are participating are truly making a difference in the fight against cancer through fundraising and by raising awareness in their communities about the importance of cancer prevention, early detection, and making healthy lifestyle choices,'' Bavery said.
To learn more about the MHS Relay for Life, visit the organization's Facebook page or check out the website. Relay for Life plans to hold an overnight fundraising walk in April.

Physician Spotlight: David Vanderpool, MD
Printer-friendly format
By: KELLY PRICE
Dr. David Vanderpool dispenses hope and smiles as he works with those impacted by poverty and disaster.
There is little cause for hope for the 20 million people living in modern day Mozambique.
It's a country where the average life expectancy is only 34 years; 60 percent of children die before reaching the age of five, succumbing to HIV-AIDS, malaria and childhood diseases that are seldom fatal when vaccines are available.
But Nashville's David Vanderpool, MD, is determined to bring hope, medical care and more.
As medical director for Mobile Medical Disaster Relief (MMDR), a Brentwood-based charity, he makes three or four onsite visits annually to northern Mozambique and takes donations of medicine and volunteers to the local clinic and mobile medical unit that MMDR operates.
The mobile unit "a Land Rover of the African variety, not the Brentwood type," he quipped, is specially outfitted with a stretcher, generator and medical refrigeration to carry medicine and medical personnel to extremely remote areas.
Vanderpool refuses to be discouraged by the overwhelming scope of the challenge his organization faces.
"We expect to see the numbers improve significantly with basic medical treatment that includes the introduction of a vaccination program, well-baby care, prenatal care, and a basic disease prevention program," Vanderpool explained.
The clinic is staffed with two full-time physicians and six nurses, who hail from such faraway places as China, Australia, and Belgium.
To better equip healthcare workers on site in Africa, MMDR has partnered with the Belmont School of Nursing to create a nursing curriculum under the direction of Ruby Dunlap, EdD, APRNC, associate professor at Belmont University, that will provide nursing training to Mozambique women, giving them skills they can use to support their children.
Vanderpool is convinced the nursing program will provide a means of education and independence for local women.
"This is not a culture where men act responsibly," Vanderpool said. "It's difficult for us to understand how hard it is for these women, who live under brutal conditions in mud huts with thatched roofs and no running water, to care for their families."
Vanderpool wasn't headed to Africa when he started out as a medical missionary. He was en route to Mississippi in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina's destruction, traveling with his oldest son to Gulfport and Bay St. Louis. During this time of crisis, Mississippi was the only state granting emergency recognition to out-of-state physicians. There, Vanderpool converted a tractor/trailer into a mobile emergency room. He returned several times to deal with maladies from alligator bites to tetanus shots.
Katrina's impact moved Vanderpool to establish Mobile Medical Disaster Relief to facilitate medical care in places of need. MMDR is now a full 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operated from Vanderpool's medical practice. An anonymous donor covers MMDR's overhead expenses; all money raised goes directly to medical relief work.
Vanderpool serves as medical director of the organization. Karen Joy Thomas, director of operations, makes "sure that all balls don't hit the ground at the same time."
MMDR plans to build one medical facility/clinic every year in an area of need. For this summer's project, Vanderpool returned to Mozambique to oversee the beginning stages of construction for a much-needed hospital and nursing school. This facility will be a simple prototype that can be duplicated in other parts of the world. MMDR is studying future sites in Nairobi, Kenya, India, the Ukraine, Nigeria and China for subsequent facilities.
Born and raised in Texas, Vanderpool earned an undergraduate degree in biology at Abilene Christian University and his medical degree at Texas Tech University School of Medicine. He trained as a vascular surgeon and completed two surgical residences at Baylor University Medical Center, in the ER at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. He has been in practice since 2000 at Lavé MD, a treatment and research center in Brentwood that specializes in treating varicose veins, spider veins and sun-damaged skin.
Vanderpool's wife, Laurie and their three children — David, 21, John, 17, and Jacklyn, 14 — have all participated in MMDR work. David, a college student, designed a micro-economic stimulus program for the widows in this often-violent country. MMDR provides sewing machines for the widows, who use them to make distinctive native purses that MMDR purchases from them to sell in this country. (See related story on page 3.)
All profits from the sale of the purses are returned to the widows to buy fabric to make clothes for the more than 800 orphans in their area.
Vanderpool said one of the most touching parts of this cycle is that African women are dumbfounded that American women would want something that they created. MMDR plans to sell the purses at fair trade stores, adding leather tags that tell the story of the community. "It's amazing how profoundly the lives of these women can be changed by the sale of a purse that required so little effort on our part," he commented.
Vanderpool doesn't sugarcoat the issue of safety in the areas deep in the bush country where MMDR works. Last Christmas, a local tribal chief arrested Vanderpool and his party. They were held in jail overnight.
"It was disconcerting and clearly a question of showing who was in control," he said.
Vanderpool hopes to involve others in his mission work. "We can help folks who can't help themselves," he said.

Denver columnist calls Blackhawks' streak 'bogus'Continue reading.
Blackhawks streak an ongoing boon for TV ratings
Photo credit: Tom Cruze/Sun-Times
"Hey Chicago Blackhawks, u guys are AWESOME!!"
That widely circulated tweet from star Miami Heat hoopster LeBron James pretty much says it all for fans and businesses benefitting– whether psychologically or financially or both — from a 24-game Chicago Blackhawks points streak.
Just last week, the Hawks' television home Comcast SportsNet Chicago broke all kinds of records thanks to the team's winning ways. Ratings were up 87 percent and key demos got significant nudges as well. For a Feb, 19 game against the Vancouver Canucks, numbers went through the roof when 258,000 households tuned in for an all-time regular season ratings record of 7.41.
On Tuesday, March 5, the network bested that with a 7.86 (roughly 274,000 households) for a match-up versus the Minnesota Wild. That audience share peaked toward the game's end at 322,000. According to a company press release, CSN Chicago sustained five hours of top ratings in key demos, including the much coveted Adults 25-54.
Prior to this season, CSN's highest-rated Blackhawks regular season game was back in March of 2010.
"If you look at the top 19 highest-rated regular season Blackhawks games ever, 18 have already occurred this season," said ComCast spokesperson Jeff Nuich. "It's crazy."
Following a third period 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche Wednesday, the Hawks have 24 games to go of 48 total this season, many of which will air on CSN Chicago.

New chains come separated. You have to use a master link or a press on fitting. It's not rocket science, but you can screw it up. It's extremely difficult to squeeze the links together enough to get the master link to snap on. Some people grind a tiny bit off the thickness to aid in getting it on right. I do not recommend doing that. After you get the master link snapped on, it's a good idea to spread the links back out. The ones you were squeezing to get the master link on.
You may be able to buy a solid chain with the correct links, but I don't know anything about that. Every chain I've bought was too long & I had to remove the correct number of links & install a master link.

Jonathan Samuel Carroll's twelve novels, two long novellas, and assorted short stories – most of them collected in The Panic Hand (German transl. 1989, US edition 1996) – straddle the fence between genre and mainstream writing; just which genre exactly is hard to tell. The fact that Carroll was nominated nine times for the World Fantasy Award and four times for the British Fantasy Award, that his short story "Friend's Best Man" (1988) and his collection The Panic Hand (1995) each won a Bram Stoker Award, and that his novel Outside the Dog Museum (1991) won a British Fantasy Award, place Carroll in the neighborhood of the modern fantastic, perhaps of magical realism or the contemporary Gothic.

Sharp Rise in U. S. Military Psychiatric Drug Use and Suicides
Posted By dpacheco On April 5, 2010 @ 3:30 pm In Politics & Public Policy | No Comments
The overdrugging of America has spilled over into our troops currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, reports Bruce E. Levine [1]. And as bad as it is for us regular civilians to feel punchy and sluggish and to experience increased rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, just imagine how much worse it is for them.
From CounterPunch.org [2]:
Investigators found that antipsychotic and antiepileptic drugs, approved for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, are now commonly used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms such as nightmares, nervousness, and anger outbursts. The use of antipsychotic drugs for non-psychotic conditions such as PTSD is called "off-label" prescribing. The general public is also subject to off-label prescribing, which is considered legal.
In February 2010, Brig. Gen. Loree Sutton, the Army's highest-ranking psychiatrist, reported to Congress that 17 percent of the active-duty force and as much as 6 percent of deployed troops are on antidepressants.
Just how insane is it to prescribe psychiatric drugs to deployed troops? The Navy Times piece tells us about Spc. Mike Kern who enlisted in 2006 and spent a year deployed in 2008 with the 4th Infantry Division as an armor crewman, running patrols out of southwest Baghdad. Suffering from nervousness, sleep problems and depression, Kern was given the antidepressant Paxil. A few days later, while patrolling the streets in the gunner's turret of a Humvee, Kern said he began having serious thoughts of suicide for the first time in his life. Kern said:
I had three weapons: a pistol, my rifle and a machine gun. I started to think, 'I could just do this and then it's over.' That's where my brain was: 'I can just put this gun right here and pull the trigger and I'm done. All my problems will be gone.'

But back to Florida... We just finished day 3 of racing here at Thistle Midwinters East in St. Petersburg. It's been a difficult regatta so far - pretty shifty conditions the first two days and today got pretty light. We've been sailing well but had a couple deep finishes today that set us back in the standings.
The regatta has been awesome - the Thistlers are a great bunch of sailors and it's a really competitive fleet. Almost everyone has been up and down, Greg Fisher is winning so far in relatively dominant fashion with much more consistent results than most.
The starts have been tough and we haven't executed as well there as we'd like. There've been a lot of OCS's in the fleet which is hard to come back from in this no throw-out regatta. Thankfully our score sheet is alphabet soup free but we've had two races where we had to duck back to clear and then claw our way back into the race as best as we could.
The water in Tampa Bay isn't too warm and it's been in the high 50s low 60s for the first few days of the regatta so we've been pretty geared up. Here's my skipper Joe and fellow crew Mattie standing in front of our boat before racing today with all our gear laid out to dry.
It's been great sailing down here, and it's not too bad to be out of the office for 10 days either. Hopefully they'll have shoveled all the snow out of the way by the time I get back.

Traditional, romantic gentleman. Yes, they still exist...
Hi there, I'm Ryan. Simply put, I'm on Match.com because I'm not meeting the type of women that I want to meet during the course of my everyday life. I have a goofy, child-like side (good thing since I work with kids!) but I also have a serious side when the situation calls for it. Overall, I am a fun-loving guy who knows how to treat a woman with respect. I am a very patient person by nature, but I never understand why some women stay with guys who treat them like garbage. I'll just never get it. I'm a romantic guy at heart and I like doing the small things to make a girl feel appreciated. I like to cook and I'd love to be able to cook my special girl a meal :) I'm a lifelong Chicagoan and I absolutely love this city. I love to laugh, play sports, explore the city, travel, and eat good food...which Chicago has a lot of. Because of my proximity to Chicago, my pizza addiction seems to be getting worse. However, staying in shape and living a healthy lifestyle is incredibly important to me. I played soccer for 13 years growing up and sports have always been, and always will be an important part of my life. I'm kind of a random/spontaneous person and I'm usually up for anything. My guilty pleasure is actually shopping. A straight guy who likes shopping? Yep, that's me! I consider myself somewhat of a philanthropist and I truly enjoy helping others. I'm actively involved in my church and I have a strong faith in God. My family is awesome and I am blessed to have a great relationship with them. They've supported me in everything I do and I'm so thankful for that. I'm also a huge animal lover and would love a German Shepard someday. I'm an open book, so if you'd like to get to know me shoot me a message!

I'm a native Chicagoan and I absolutely love exploring all the great things this wonderful city has to offer. I enjoy going to the beach during the summer time, trying new restaurants in the city, and simply walking around Michigan Avenue.

I'm a huge fan of Seinfeld and Friends. I know they are old, but still...they are hilarious! If I had to choose three foods to live on for the rest of my life, the would probably be pizza, tacos, and cereal. Nothing better than Chicago pizza!
I'm really into playing sports and being active. On the weekends I play in a men's football league. I also enjoy being involved in my church, meeting new people, traveling, shopping, and watching good movies.
I'm currently reading a book called "Jesus Calling". It's an awesome book that helps you with your daily life. There is only about a paragraph to read each day, but it's amazing how much of an impact it has! I'm also working my way through the Bible.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Sam's Club on Beal Parkway will offer free shopping passes to military members, retirees and their families in light of the federal government shutdown that has closed base commissaries, the company has announced.
To receive the temporary passes, visitors should show a military ID or proof of present or past service at the store's customer service counters.
The nationwide program will continue until the U.S. government allows commissaries to reopen.

Degree In Sight
Competition for psychology internships is fiercer than ever. These days, only 75 percent of clinical and counseling psychology students are able to find the yearlong training experiences they need to graduate. What does this mean for students gearing up for internship interview season? Stock answers simply will not do.
"Now more than ever, it pays to be prepared for your internship interviews," says Gerald Nissley, PsyD, who matched on his first try. "They really do make or break students' applications."
But don't fret: There really are no "right" answers, says Carol Williams-Nickelson, PsyD, co-author of "Internships in Psychology: The APAGS Workbook for Writing Successful Applications and Finding the Right Fit" (APA, 2008). However, good answers reveal your character, shed light on your experiences and demonstrate that you will be a good fit for the site, she says.
According to training directors and other experts, here are the top five questions to be ready for:
Why do you want this internship?
"If your response to this question is, 'Because I want to work with a diverse group of clients' or 'Because this is the best training facility in the country,' you might as well just get up and leave," says John T. Carlsen, PsyD, the director of the Professional Development Institute in Chicago. Instead, be specific. If you're interested in diversity, name the types of clients the clinic attracts and why you want experience work with them. If you want to learn about particular interventions or approaches the site is known for, name them — that shows you've done your homework, he says.
This question enables you to demonstrate your match with an internship site, says David Jacobs, PhD, who conducted internship interviews at a training site in Southern California. He recommends that you make two lists: One should include facts about the site — who it treats and how — and the other should include your own training experience and future goals. Compare the two lists to find connections, Jacobs says, and then practice articulating those connections in a way that emphasizes your experience and what you hope to learn in the future. You might, for example, say, "I use applied behavior analysis to foster social skills in children with autism, but you use a modified version of the therapy with a higher success rate. I'd like to learn more about your techniques."
"A specific connection like this blows interviewers away," says Carlsen.
Tell us about a good and bad experience you've had with a client.
The answer to this seemingly innocuous question can be critical to a successful interview, and people often botch it, says Nissley. "Many students shy away from sharing their weaknesses or an intervention that didn't go well because they know they're competing with a group of equally talented and skilled students," he says.
That's a mistake, because training directors don't expect you to be perfect. Rather, they want you to demonstrate a penchant for self-reflection and a willingness to learn and grow, says Nissley.
When an interview board asks you about a less-than-ideal client interaction, dive in, Williams-Nickelson suggests. Be specific, saying where you went wrong, how you consulted a supervisor for advice and what you learned from the mistake. For the positive example, also be specific, demonstrating growth and self-reflection, she adds.
What is your professional philosophy?
Interviewers ask this question to get a glimpse into your character and background, says Williams-Nickelson. Discuss your history and pick out an event or two that motivated you to pursue psychology, she says. Start with a succinct statement such as, "I believe that every person carries within them the ability to thrive and grow, and it's my job to help them learn and tap their own resources," says Williams-Nickelson. Then go into detail on how you came to believe this. As with all these questions, however, don't go off on a tangent or over-share, she adds.
This question also presents a good opportunity to share any professional work you might do on your own time, says Jacobs. If you have a psychology-focused blog or Twitter account, let your interviewers know. But don't just direct them to your site, says Jacobs; explain how it's helped you develop as a clinician or researcher and what you've learned from the experience. If it seems appropriate, you may also want to outline your social media policy — how you use such sites to promote your work without compromising your relationships with clients.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Demonstrate that you have a big-picture plan for your career, says Williams-Nickelson, but also tell the interviewer what you will do immediately following the internship. Do you plan to work in a rural practice or join the National Service Corps to pay down student-loan debt? Do you hope to open your own practice? Let your interviewers know your long-term aims, says Carlsen, and explain how their site can help you realize these goals.
This question also gives you another opportunity to elaborate on what you hope to learn from the internship and demonstrate the fit between what you need and what they have to offer, Williams-Nickelson says.
Do you have any questions for us?
"No" is the wrong answer, says Jacobs. Especially in today's competitive climate, internship interviews go both ways: While the panel is deciding whether you are a good fit for them, you should be working out whether their site is a good fit for you. So, ask about the site's day-to-day operations or inquire about possible opportunities to work with clients outside your primary area of interest. For example, if you'll be working at a center that treats a wide variety of clients and you specifically want to work with children who have developmental disabilities, ask how many hours a week you may get to see them, says Jacobs.
You may also want to ask, "Which people will I specifically be training with?" says Carlsen. Or, "What is this site's training philosophy?" In addition to helping you decide whether the site will be No. 1 on your list, such questions allow you to demonstrate a strong work ethic and a desire to expand your knowledge, he says.
"Good questions about a site and the opportunities it can provide let a training director know that you're the type of person who will challenge their own assumptions and keep them on their toes," says Williams-Nickelson. "And that's the type of person who people want to work with."

Thank you for your service…
Thank God we have Hero's in America. I love our Military, being a SF's Military mom aside, there's nothing better then a person to whom knows love of Country and risks all to prove it. They deserve the very best from the land they fought for, the government, yet so many are left to fend for themselves. Shame on our government.
Dec. 7th 1941 , let the kids of tomorrow , still understand what happened on that day , and that it was supposed to be a Navy vacationing area , instead of a grave yard !
Awaiting moderation ? Give me a break !
My dad was there at Pearl Harbor on that day!!! He passed away about 4 years ago> I salute him and all of the others for their Great Service!!!
My father was on the light cruiser CL46 USS Phoenix parked right next to Battleship Row. My father passed away in the 60's due to stomache cancer brought on by massive ulcers. The ulcers actually were the reason for his medical discharge, as he was career navy 1938-49.
That Generation was tough. They did what was needed and more. Many gave their lives so we could live in Freedom now. I propose a silent prayer of thanks for all of that Generation – The Men, Women and the kids, all who gave and suffered. From the heart, Thank you.
Everyone Did their part, no one argued that they had done enough.
Our servicemen is why we are (at least for now) still a free country. I spent four years in the military in europe. I have seen what communisim & socialisim can do to people first hand. It's sickening. I have more respect for our military people than any other profession. And the democrats couldn't care less. Thank you military people.
As my sister, daughter and I stood on the U.S.S. Arizona memorial and looked down into the water at that great, dead ship, my heart cried at those American boys still down there who never knew WHY they were being killed.
Frankie, I understand that is an emotional experience to be there.And it should be. I was on the beaches at Normandy and the American cemetary there. It, too is a soul stirring place. God Bless them all and may we never forget that they gave their lives so that we might be free. May we be forever grateful.
may we never forget these hero's and the dates of dec.7th and sept.11th .
the dates when cowards attacked the U.S. without warning.

'Trash' becomes treasure with Salvation Army donations from UTSA
(May 7, 2010)--To put unwanted items to good use, reduce costs on campus and practice UTSA's community engagement, public service and environmental missions, the UTSA Office of Housing and Residence Life is accomplishing something important. Spearheaded by employee Steven Walker with the assistance of Paula Robbins, Housing and Residence Life has unofficially partnered with the Salvation Army to collect furniture donations from student residents leaving for the summer.
Three large covered trailers were placed strategically at the Laurel Village, Chaparral Village and Chisholm Hall residence facilities on the Main Campus, and students leaving for the summer have been encouraged to donate items they don't need or don't want to take home, including items such as bookshelves and other furniture.
"Over the years that I have worked here, I have seen a lot of waste," said Walker. "As they move out for the summer, the kids would throw their items in the dumpster or even leave them behind in their rooms."
When dumpsters are filled at the end of the semester as students move out, extra expenses are incurred. Each time a dumpster is emptied, the cost is $360. Additionally, items left in rooms must be properly processed by the UTSA Police Department as abandoned property, adding additional administrative costs.
"By donating furniture and other items, the cost is lowered for UTSA, but it also helps needy families in the area," added Walker. "The Salvation Army does not make a practice of marking up the price on donated items. They focus on providing them for the people that really need them. So, we're helping UTSA departments with better fiscal practices and less waste, and we're helping out some families."
For more information, contact the UTSA Office of Housing and Residence Life at 210-458-6200.

With the introduction of the Epson Stylus Pro 3880, the bar has once again been raised and the realm of what's possible expanded. Engineered for the most discriminating professionals, it comes with a variety of technological breakthroughs that will make it the benchmark by which all other 17-inch printers are measured. In fact, there's so much innovation in this feature-rich printer, you might expect a much larger footprint, but the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 is remarkably compact, equal in size to many 13-inch printers.
With the Epson Stylus Pro 3880, uncompromising quality is within reach. Engineered for the discriminating professional, this compact, 17" wide printer includes Epson UltraChrome® K3 with Vivid Magenta Ink Technology, world-renowned for professional printing applications. This, combined with an advanced MicroPiezo AMC print head, enables the Pro 3880 to produce gallery-quality color and black-and-white output up to 17" x 22". The printer's industry-acclaimed ink set delivers a phenomenal color gamut with breathtaking blues and violets. All-new AccuPhoto HD2 technology provides smoother color transitions and better highlight and shadow detail for prints with a true photographic look. Exceptional print quality and professional media support - the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 makes it all possible.
Epson UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta Ink Technology is a professional, 8-color ink set with advanced magenta pigments that provide more dramatic blues and violets for an impressive color gamut. Its three-level black technology delivers richer blacks, outstanding tonal range and an unprecedented gray balance, all of which ensure outstanding black-and-white prints. Built on Epson's heritage of professional ink technology, this pigment ink set offers instant color stability. Colors stay consistent, whether viewed right out of the printer or decades later. With Epson UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta, you get print quality and longevity that satisfies the most demanding professional.
The Epson Stylus Pro 3880 optimizes your working space. This compact, professional-level printer generates exhibition quality prints, worthy of gallery display, up to 17" x 22" - an innovation made possible by Epson's expertise in microminiaturization and professional printing technology.

Choosing from an extraordinary number of possible ink combinations for each color, this technology optimizes ink usage to maximize the color gamut and provide smooth color transitions and gradations. Reduction of the metameric index makes it possible to achieve consistent color under different lighting conditions. And, it ensures truly photographic prints, even in high-speed or lower resolution print modes.
Our advanced MicroPiezo print head with AMC (Advanced Meniscus Control) is at the core of Epson's advanced ink jet technology, enabling the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 to deliver incredible detail. This permanent, high-performance print head creates variable-sized droplets as small as 3.5 picoliters and places them with remarkable accuracy and precision. This professional print head also incorporates an ink-repelling coating which decreases maintenance and increases reliability.
Part of an advanced workflow, the Advanced Black-and-White Photo Mode is your key to intuitive and consistent control, for stunning neutral or toned black-and-white prints. Choose from one of four present menus - neutral, warm, cool or sepia. Or, fine tune your image further with custom slider bars and the color tone wheel that gives you precise control.
The Epson Stylus Pro 3880 was designed without compromise so your visions could be printed without compromise. With its compact size, it represents the next step in professional desktop printing, and is a must have for the serious professional.

I knew this was a good printer before I purchased it, I didn't just how good it was until I made a dozen prints. Of those twelve prints, ten were BW, mainly on Velvet Fine Art paper (8x10's) and two on Luster. I also printed a couple color images and was just blown away by the detail and gradation of the tones in the BWs as well as the color tonality. The printer came very well packaged. Many many small pieces of tape held everything together. A good paper manual and the quick start guide made for an easy installation. The driver software loaded without any problems as did the paper ICC profiles. Everything worked right out of the box. Prior to making a print I performed a monitor calibration. Aside from some minor differences in dark tones, the printed image did a great job matching the screen image. One minor annoyance, the rear manual paper feed is a bit finicky when it comes to loading paper, sometimes taking two or three times before it is fed correctly. Not enough of a problem to decrease my star rating. Maybe things may change with time, but my experience right out of the box is nothing but positive and I would highly recommend this printer. The price is high, but keep in mind that you get fully charged 80mL cartridges with the printer. This is arguably the best printer currently on the market. Can't wait to print some 17x22s.

This is an excellent printer when it prints. Unfortunately, even after reinstalling the latest printer driver on my Mac pro tower running PS 5.5 under Snow Leopard, it keeps hanging up. I had the 3800 before this, and loved it. As I said, when it is working, it produces beautiful rich prints. I wish the printer driver worked better. I often need to produce proofs under tight deadlines, and it is a pain when the printer refuses to print.

Outstanding Printer
By LFG-emc
from Voorhees, NJ
Comments about Epson Stylus Pro 3880 Large Format Printer:
This is a great, versatile workhorse of a printer. I've used it for everything from fine art print editions to commercial production comps and posters. It's consistent, reliable, and precise in output. The color is beautiful and lush. Definitely a good buy for an individual artist or small business wanting to have more options and reliable, professional prints. The only drawback is the printer won't print anything if one of the cartridges is out of ink, but that's pretty standard for inkjet printers.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The 3880 has taken the place of my excellent 3800. The 3880 shows more detail in the final print. I compared the exact print from the 3800 to the 3880 and the first thing I noticed was more detail in the faces with the 3880 and saturation showed up more with the 3880. The faces I am referring to were in a large group photo of 45 people with only a standard flash as the light source. The difference was recognizable at once.

Epson Stylus Pro 3880 Inkjet Printer
By Lucky
from San Luis Obispo, CA
This is a great printer. I've already made some beautiful prints. However, a big gripe I have is that though easy to set up, it does not come with a shielded AB USB cable. It didn't work with the regular unshielded cable I drove 20 miles to purchase and just by chance I took one off of an Epson scanner I have. (the instructions did say to use a shielded cable, the local office supply only carried the regular cables) Voila, there finally was communication with the computer. Such a necessary item should be included with the purchase. After all, I included one with the used 3800 I sold to a friend. It doesn't work without them.

This product was recommended to me. Am greatly impressed with the quality of prints that it can create! It would have taken hours of darkroom work to match the prints the Epson 3880 is capable of. Great printer!

After a short learning period, I have gotten great results from my new 3880. It's easy to use, the colors are very, rich. The details are sharp. I've been especially pleased with larger prints, 13x19 & 17x22. I wish the cartridges were more reasonably priced.....

Great Grandma: Louise Emelie (Louise or derivation has been in every generation since as first or middle, born 1901), sisters Emma, Mina Dorothea (went by Dorothy), Marie Ragna, Selma (Louise is Delphine's mom)
I'm blanking on names from the other sides of my family.
for fun: naming history on my mom's Norwegian side since I happen to have our Genealogy handy:
Great Great Grandma: Dina Emelie (1872- Louise Emellie's mother), sisters Mina, Berthe Maria
Great Great Great Grandma: Berthe Marie (1837-Dina Emelie's mother)

Help the Hirola
View a slideshow of this majestic species.
The first two dozen hirola have been relocated into the sanctuary. Will you support this critical work?
With fewer than 500 left, the hirola antelope (Beatragus hunteri) is on the brink of extinction. Without immediate action, a mammalian genus will go extinct for the first time on mainland Africa in modern human history.
A Partnership to Protect the Hirola
The hirola is the last living representative of an evolutionary lineage that originated over 3 million years ago. The surviving herds live along the Kenya-Somalia border, inhabited by the Pokomo community and Ishaqbini Conservancy. Resembling a hybrid of impala and hartebeest, the hirola is instantly recognizable by its trademark white "spectacles."
One of The Nature Conservancy's key partners in northern Kenya, Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT), in 2006 established the Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy to save the hirola. Ishaqbini is home to Somali pastoralists who voluntarily established a dedicated area for hirola. The people of Ishaqbini have been quietly conserving this landscape for centuries and regard the hirola as a blessing.
But hirola numbers continued to decline. When traditional conservation measures proved inadequate, The Nature Conservancy, NRT and its partners launched a plan to improve hirola protection, one that also benefits the communities that share hirola habitat. Our partnership is...
- Creating a predator-proof sanctuary
- Providing anti-poaching security
- Protecting habitat
- Fostering ecotourism opportunities
Our combined efforts will allow for a sustainable recovery effort and ongoing hirola monitoring and management.
You Can Be a Hirola Hero!
You can help save the hirola by acting today. Your support will go directly to helping maintain Ishaqbini's predator-proof sanctuary. Be a "Hirola Hero" today and help save this beloved animal from extinction.
Thank you to our partners in this critical effort:
Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy, Northern Rangelands Trust, Fauna & Flora International, Kenya Wildlife Service and Zoological Society of London.
