The Charlottesville Albemarle Convention & Visitors Bureau (CACVB) is proud to announce the launch of a series of programs offered at the brand new Albemarle Tourism and Adventure Center located downtown Crozet.
The Virginia Department of Transportation has made adjustments to reduce delays on Route 20 (Scottsville Road) in Albemarle County as paving operations continue next week. Work will occur from just north of Route 6 (Irish Road) to Route 708 (Red Hill Road), with the roadway limited to one lane through the work zone. Shorter segments of roadway will be paved at a time to minimize impacts to traffic, which will be controlled by flaggers.

Many new mums wanting a memento of their child's early years might opt for footprint casts or dipping their baby's booties in bronze, but there's a new option for those wanting to kick-start the keepsakes a little earlier - placenta picture frames.
While most women discard their placenta following childbirth, curiosity is piqued and stomachs are churned when one hears tales of new mothers burying theirs or eating it, respectively. Both traditions have been practiced around the world in different forms for centuries, and Mad Men actress January Jones caused a stir last year when she admitted to ingesting hers after her doula suggested she get it dehydrated and made into vitamins in an effort to increase energy levels and stave off postpartum depression. But now you can get your placenta repurposed as art thanks to London-based sustainable designer Amanda Cotton.
"We need to think of all waste in a completely new way - as raw materials, which hold huge potential," said Cotton. "Why not use human waste where possible?"
Cotton, who also creates jewellery and sculptures using earwax, hair, urine and maggots, first came up with the idea of using placentae to create picture frames when living with a midwife while studying 3D Materials at the University of Brighton. Intrigued by the fact that one of the most vital links between mother and baby during pregnancy is automatically discarded following childbirth, she set about finding a meaningful way to celebrate that connection.
"My work is all about our incredible bodies creating materials which we love and care for yet, once separated from us, we are repulsed by and we feel the need to discard them," she added. "It is quite common for people to keep their baby's byproducts such as the umbilical cord, first tooth or hair clippings to document their progress, along with photos and notes. The placenta is one of the first creations the mother and baby make together - why not celebrate that with a keepsake?"
To make the frame, which is inscribed with the child's date of birth, Cotton cooks the placenta so that it can be ground into smaller pieces which she then mixes with resin and casts in a mould. While some might recoil at the thought, the designer insists she has received plenty of positive feedback and already has a healthy line of clients. One of them, Ulrika Jarl, who is pregnant with her second daughter, says she'll be keeping her placenta for Cotton following childbirth.
"I can understand why some people might find this a bit yucky but what attracted me was the use of materials that we think of as waste," said Jarl. "'I have friends who swear by placenta capsules and say they give them much more energy, more milk and even combat the postpartum blues. You can donate placentas for training dogs to look for human remains. There are so many uses for these useful bits of tissue that kept your baby alive for nine months, yet the majority of placentas are just thrown away. That really is a waste."

20 Jul 2012 19:51 GMT | Sport, Cricket, South Africa, United Kingdom
South Africa fought back against England on the second day of the first Test on Friday, first with the ball and then the bat, to close on 86 for one after bowling England out for 385.
Captain Graeme Smith, playing his 100th test match, was 37 not out and Hashim Amla was on 47 after being dropped on 40 by first slip Andrew Strauss off Ravi Bopara. Alviro Petersen went for a duck, lbw to James Anderson with just one on the scoreboard.
The second-wicket partnership between Smith and Amla capped a much-needed improvement by the tourists after a lethargic display on day one, when England were mostly in control.
Morne Morkel finished off the England innings with four for 72, while Dale Steyn and Jacques Kallis claimed two wickets apiece. Alastair Cook added just one run to his overnight score to depart for 115 and Matt Prior added a vital 60 from 90 balls.Comeback kings
It was an impressive comeback by the Proteas after England resumed on 267 for three. The bowling was more accurate and aggressive, although bowling conditions were better with the sun being replaced by cloud cover.
Prior's innings was a vital contribution as England, at one point, looked as if they were going to collapse at 313 for seven as the Proteas squeezed them with some tight, penetrative bowling.
Prior struggled early on but after lunch was more fluent, hitting three fours in six balls in one sequence. Prior reached his fifty by straight driving Vernon Philander for four.
He was eventually Morkel's third victim and was also one of AB de Villiers' five catches, which would please the team having lost the services of veteran wicketkeeper Mark Boucher to a freak eye injury on the first day of the tour.
Cook was the first man to fall in the day when he dragged a full-length ball from Steyn back on to his off stump. Steyn then picked up Ravi Bopara, making his latest comeback, for a duck when he mistimed a hook shot and edged to the keeper.
Ian Bell was bowled for 13 by Kallis after some clever swing and seam bowling that outfoxed the batsman. Stuart Broad (16) and Graeme Swann (15 not out) chipped in down the order.
Despite taking only the one wicket, England would at least have been encouraged by occasional evidence of sharp spin from Swann and uneven bounce.

Apple Taiwan Now Offer Xserve, RAID
Apple Taiwan Now Offer Xserve, RAID
by , 1:30 PM EDT, April 24th, 2003
With the economic doldrums that have beset the IT industry continuing to be felt worldwide, many businesses are looking for ways to cut expenses while staying competitive. Staying competitive can mean insuring that your infrastructure can handle jobs efficiently, with the highest throughput possible, all while maintaining an accountant's eye on the corporate purse.
Apple, who has recently entered the corporate server arena with some much lauded offerings, is hoping that IT managers with more need than dollars will consider Xserve and the new Xserve RAID as a viable alternative to costlier systems. Xserve and Xserve RAID has been somewhat of a hit here in the US, and now Apple is looking to expand its market to Taiwan. An article in the eTaiwan News highlights Apple's efforts in introducing its new IT products to a Taiwanese audience. From the article, titled Apple unveils data storage that 'rocks around the clock':
Apple Computer is betting Taiwan's small- and medium-sized enterprises will bite its latest product offering: A device that company cheerleaders say is ideal for storage space-greedy digital content such as video footage, high-resolution images, and large databases.
We are aware that some companies are cutting back on their IT spending because of muted economic recovery expectations and prevailing market uncertainties," Apple (Taiwan) General Manager Jack Tong said yesterday.
"But I think customers will continue to invest on new technologies as long as they find them cost-effective. We believe that we've got the product that meets that demand."
Tong was referring to Xserve RAID, a storage device which Apple said was designed for non-stop operation and uninterrupted access to critical data.
Read the full article in the eTaiwan News online.
The Mac Observer Spin:Everybody loves a bargain, and the Taiwanese are no exception. Apple's foray into corporate IT server rooms should be just as melodious to the ears of IT managers on the island country as it might be to IT honchos here in the States. The article itself shows that the locals are interested in what Apple has to offer, and that's always a good sign.
Of course, it remains to be seen if Taiwan will become a hotbed of Xserve activity, but it does appear that Apple is off to a good start there.

This recipe for Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes has been tantalizing me all week. I adapted it from the Joy of Cooking. So many lemon recipes suffer from the wimp factor. They add a tablespoon of lemon juice or the zest of one lemon and then have the nerve to call themselves a lemon this or a lemon that. It's criminal. And it's the same thing with poppy seeds. People seems to think that a tablespoon or two entitles them to emblazon the words poppy seeds all over their recipe title. I assure you that these pancakes have earned their name [...]

Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD Sound CardToday we have the very latest in high-end audio from Creative Labs - the X-Fi Titanium HD which is their most powerful and exciting board yet.
Needing little introduction, Creative Labs has been around for a long time in the PC audio industry, since basically the dawn of it all in fact. They offered first up the Sound Blaster 1.0 (CT1310/CT1320A) if memory serves, and then followed onward with a massive line of rock solid Windows based PCI, and later, PCI Express sound cards.
When these cards were combined with Creative Labs' in house technology known as EAX (or Environmental Audio), they took the gaming community by storm and fast became a gamers first choice for surround sound. This is after the latest graphics accelerator was installed, of course.
To this day the success of EAX is yet to flounder thanks very much to the strong backing of the physical hardware itself, namely the X-Fi chipset which we first took a look at a couple of years ago. At that time we were already very impressed by how it sounded, and also with the interface it offered users.
Back to the present day now and the new Titanium HD sure has a serious name as well as a serious spec sheet to match. But will this board be a better option than the hugely successful ASUS Xonar heavy hitters out there? - That remains to be seen. But with arguably a more developed and equipped chipset under the hood, things are off to a good start!

The Relaxation Response
When Dr. Herbert Benson introduced this simple, effective, mind/body approach to relieve stress in The Relaxation Response twenty-five years ago, the book became an instant national bestseller. Since that time, millions of people have learned the secret of the relaxation response--without high-priced lectures, drugs, or prescription medicine. The tremendous success of this ...more

Jul 25, 2011 Gretchen rated it 4 of 5 stars
This is an informative, readable book about how to meditate. It promotes no specific religion or philosophy. Its focus is on combating the fight–or–flight response with a calmer reaction to problems. Through meditation the relaxation response is invoked twice a day. This learning spills over into the person's response to everyday stresses. It does discuss meditation in various Western and Eastern religions, and does condone using religion in conjunction with meditation if the person is so inclin ...more

I've recently reviewed this book for the second time. A study was done at Harvard by Herbert Benson and colleagues back in the 70's. Their findings were that by triggering the relaxation response in the body through meditation all kinds of ailments are relieved. It's amazing to me that the benefits of conscious relaxation aren't more commonly known and understood in our society. I have practiced this in conjunction with restorative yoga and other meditation techniques with miraculous results in ...more

This book is succinct and easy to read. I bought it based on its reputation, as it is a widely quoted resource on meditation. The book delves into the mind/body connection and how we can use meditation to bring down our stress level or as the book describes it, "The Relaxation Response," without the use of drugs or prescription medication.

Usually I'm suspicious that doctors who write popular health books are more interested in making a buck or selling a product than in helping people get healthy. However, author Herbert Benson seeks to empower the reader by offering a simple method—the relaxation response—to counteract stress. Originally published in 1975, this was the first book to link stress with hypertension and to substantiate how regular use of relaxation techniques can reduce symptoms of hypertension and cardiovascular dis ...more

I was drawn to this book while researching Transcendental Meditation. A friend had become involved in TM and was singing its praises. Acknowledging the fact that you need to pay $1000.00 for the TM course, I really wanted to be sure that this investment would be worth it. What is it, how does it work? The ritualism involved, (fruit, flowers and hankys, incense, etc.), as well as the monetary investment made me a bit skeptical. However, the positive side has a definite allure. So, what IS this s ...more

This wasn't the most exciting read but I did like the author's basic concept. Most of the book provides reasons for eliciting and gives a historical account of "the Relaxation Response". Instructions for achieving it are found in the last couple chapters.

Shelves: meditation
It's tough to review a book like this because almost everything you need to know is summarized in the introduction. The actual technique is very simple to learn, yet is a very powerful basic technique that every meditator needs to have in their toolbox. The majority of the rest of the book is filled with medical studies backing up the notion that meditation does indeed have a powerful effect on the mind and body. If you think meditation isn't for you or that you simply 'can't' meditate, this is ...more

This book is well worth a read. The author presents the history of various forms of meditation as well as his research succinctly. The process of training yourself to reach the relaxation response is simple. I believe the single most damaging factor to our health is relentless stress that stimulates the "fight or flight" response throughout the day, most days. Though I have just started this form of meditation, I have had some success and look forward to continued incorporation of it into my day ...more

Shelves: my-library
Although the relaxation response technique is extremely short and easy to learn and is only described right at the end of the book, it is worth reading about the benefits of meditation if you are new to it. I looked into Transcendental Meditation but found that this method as taught by Herbert Benson dispels with the secret mantra as is just as effective without the mysticism. About to read Beyond the Relaxation Response now.

Great book using biology, psychology, relgion and every day western lifestyle to point to the importance of meditation. Quite interesting to see how many of these issues we face still hold almost 40 years later after this book was written and the message is so much more important in the Information Age.

This book has been around for a while. I had taken some meditation training in the past and I wanted to learn more about the science behind why meditation worked to reduce stress (and whether in fact it did). I found a wealth of information about the blood pressure responses to consistent meditation. What happens in the body as a result of high blood pressure was also described clearly. I also discovered some alternative meditation practices to those I had been doing periodically. This book as a ...more

This book on meditation was researched and written by a Harvard PhD., so it takes a very physiological approach to the subject and outcome of meditation. The author suggests a technique (which is the technique he used with success in his own studies), but he also allows the use of prayer, mantra, or any other spiritual device that might bring the desired outcome. I found this book to be very interesting and once I can find some quiet time, I look forward to beginning. Apparently, different peopl ...more

The Relaxation Response is the antithesis to our body's fight or flight reaction. It is relatively easy to do and results in profound relaxation. It also has been shown to lower blood pressure.
Aug 02, 2011 Nathan rated it 4 of 5 stars
Reread this one after a decade or so. Presents meditation as a bit of a panacea, and focuses a bit too much on hypertension/cardiology (his speciality) rather than mental calmness and stress management. On the other hand, it's a dated book, and seminal in establishing Western medicine's increasing openness to the proto-psychologies religions got right long before modern medicine. I'm not well read enough in the subject, but it seems like an early example of preventative medicine over diagnose-an ...more

A short book, about 100 pages long, that covers something that has been known and practiced for ages. The difference here is scientific study was applied and Benson shares the results. After the two pages describing how to do it, the rest was why. The Relaxation Response is like meditation, or deep prayer, and part of the book explores the different religions and writings that have discussed this process. It is a simple thing to do. The hardest part is to make it a habit and do it at least once ...more

A classic! Succinct and accessible medical explanation of Flight/Fight and Relaxation Response mechanisms within human body and how to work with both in this chronically stressful modern culture. Also a brief history of meditation across cultures/religion/history. Benson did the groundbreaking scientific research on biological impact of meditation that laid the foundation for moving mind/body treatments from the fringes to the mainstream of health care and summarizes it here.
Mar 09, 2009 Alison rated it 4 of 5 stars
A revised edition of a 1970's book by a Harvard doc who was shunned by the academic community for beginning to study the physiological effects of Transcendental Meditation. I love one of the quotes from a review in the front by an MD: "I am delighted that someone has finally taken the nonsense out of meditation..." Ha! For those of you who have trauma or work with it, this is a great basic primer of how breathing and relaxation calm us physiologically.
Jul 27, 2008 Charity rated it 3 of 5 stars
The first have was very bland (all this stuff about blood pressure and how high blood pressure happens...not at all the reason I'm interested in the topic), but the section about meditation practices in world religions was very interesting, as was the section on how to elicit the Relaxation Response. So, three stars rather than the two I would have given it had I stopped with the blood presure stuff.

"You will learn that evoking the Relaxation Response is extremely simple if you follow a very short set of instructions which incorporate four essential elements: (1) a quiet environment; (2) a mental device such as a word or a phrase which should be repeated in a specific fashion over and over again; (3) the adoption of a passive attitude, which is perhaps the most important of the elements; and (4) a comfortable position. Your appropriate practice of these four elements for ten to twenty minutes once or twice daily should markedly enhance your well-being."
"(1) A Quiet Environment Ideally, you should choose a quiet, calm environment with as few distractions as possible. A quiet room is suitable, as is a place of worship. The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts. (2) A Mental Device To shift the mind from logical, externally oriented thought, there should be a constant stimulus: a sound, word, or phrase repeated silently or aloud; or fixed gazing at an object. Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is "mind wandering," the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help"More quotes…

Ohio teacher who had sex with student, 16, spared jail over Christmas so she can enjoy holidays with her daughter
- Julie Hautzenroeder, 37, of Loveland had been teacher for 10 years
- She admitted to exchanging inappropriate texts with a teen
- But was found guilty of one count of sexual battery
Jailed: Julie Hautzenroeder, 37, has been jailed for two years
A teacher jailed for two years for having sex with a student, 16, has been granted permission to spend Christmas with her daughter before starting her sentence.
Julie Hautzenroeder, 37, of Loveland had been a Colerain High science teacher for 10 years.
She was sentenced on Wednesday, but will not start her sentence until January 13th.
Earlier this year she admitted to exchanging inappropriate texts with a teen.
But a police investigation revealed
that she had one of her friends drive two 16-year-old Colerain sophomore
boys to her home.
The teens testified she gave them alcohol and marijuana and had sex with them.
A jury last month convicted
Hautzenroeder of one count of sexual battery but ruled she was not
guilty on the other.
She faced a maximum prison sentence of five years.
'She is in a position of authority and trust, which was violated,' Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Norbert Nadel said.
'Parents do not send their kids to school to engage in this type of behavior with the teachers,' he said reported USA Today.
Hautzenroeder, a single parent, had begged the judge not to send her to prison because it would hurt her daughter.
'I ask you, not for me but for my daughter who I have been the only parent to for her entire life, please please ... I can't stand her not to be able to have the Christmas she's relied on her entire life.'
WPCO reported that in closing arguments, prosecutor Josh Burkowitz said Hautzenroeder's alleged sex acts with the two teens were intentional and not some accident.
He said text messages between her and one student that referred to a sex act were incredibly incriminating.
But the biology teacher's lawyer, Stewart Mathews, argued Hautzenroeder had made serious lapses in judgment by inviting the teens to her Loveland condo, but claimed the teenagers were drug users and liars.
Hautzenroeder said she 'never had sex with teens' and told them to sleep on the couch.
She claimed that one of them climbed on top of her during the night.
She also denied giving alcohol and claimed they brought the marijuana.
Hautzenroeder will also have to register as a sex offender for life - that means she will have to report to the sheriff's office every 90 days.

Village of Sussex — Some paid per emergency call volunteer firefighters, who often sacrifice personal time to serve the community, are going to give up a Saturday afternoon this week to help the local food pantry.
Fire Chief Colin "Corky" Curtis said the firefighters have organized a food drive to help the Sussex Outreach Service (SOS) restock its food pantry shelves.
Curtis said the firefighters learned several weeks ago that the food pantry was facing a shortage of certain nonperishable food items because of a post holiday lull in donations.
The firefighters are going to use the department's Model A antique fire truck, which was the department's original firefighting apparatus, to deliver the food to the food pantry.
Firefighter Matt Petricca, who is also a village trustee, said volunteer firefighters will be accepting donations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 8, at three locations.
Those locations include the Piggly Wiggly grocery store on Main Street across from Village Hall, the Pick 'n Save grocery store at the intersection of Highway 164 and Silver Spring Road and at the fire station in the Public Safety Building on Main Street.
Curtis said individuals who leave food donations at the fire station will be offered a tour of the facility.
Petricca said food donations delivered at the two grocery stories will be taken by firefighters to the fire station and placed in the back of the antique fire truck along with donations that have been delivered to the fire station .
Petricca said he anticipates the fire truck load of donated food items will be delivered to the food pantry southeast of the triangle intersection of Main Street and Silver Spring Drive.
However, Petricca said he is hopeful that more than one fire truck load of donations will have to be delivered to the food pantry Saturday.
"I am hoping we are going to have to make several trips during the day to the food pantry. But, we don't know. This is the first year we have done this," he said.
Jennifer Waltz, SOS executive director, told the Sussex Sun last month there is a shortage of popular food items such as canned chicken or tuna, hearty and chunky sty soups, boxed rice meals, mangoes and pineapples.
She said there is also a shortage of ravioli, macaroni and cheese, Manwhich, Hamburger Helper and canned corn.
She explained those are cost conscience food items that can be used in the preparation of several meals.
"There is always a lull in donations after the holiday season and before the Boy Scouts annual food drive in March," she said.
Waltz said there are 24 more families that registered with the food pantry in 2013 compared to 2012.
