It was a strange year, not least because the apocalypse we were hoping for in our darkest heart of hearts never occurred. So now here we are in 2013 with no game plan. Our credit card debt is still intact. There's nothing to do but pick up the pieces.
I collected ten pieces I wrote that are for some reason in my mind worth revisiting. I know I write an awful lot every year, so even regular readers are bound to miss something. I generally leave everything written in the last few months of the year, too close, so this is mostly from last winter, spring and summer... I hope you won't think me vain, but I had a lot riding on the end of the world, and now I need every last scrap of past self to move forward... if you're at all damaged by end-of-the-world euphoria as me, may these posts' scattered wisdom help you remember how awesome it almost wasn't.
1. Kiss Me Del Rey (1/17)
"In the end the mainstream wants all the things it takes from [we artists] to be good, never considering whether or not we invited them to even taste a sample. Thus we make ourselves deliberately bad to scare away success, for success means having to be surrounded at all times by douche bag entourages and clingy fans and thus be unable to hone our craft in isolated anguish cocoons. So our sophomore album is bloated, and the AOR guys throw us to the cut-out bins and now not even Nightingales wants us back. " (more)
"... but this mechanical man is SKYNET's distant cousin, reaching from beyond the well-guarded door to hopefully scribble something accessible and profound on the pad before it, something like: "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't let you do that." or "we think of the key, each in his prison / thinking of the key, each confirms a prison." instead of just that same damn picture of a rocket in a moon's eye, instead of just one more piece of image-based branding. (more)
"And on that level Lawrence's characterization is a sublime modern metatextualization, illuminating the way actors pretending to love one another onscreen are no different than those 'in love' in the 'real' world. Each believes with vengeance what they know deep down not to be true. What Fleetwood Mac forgot was that players believe they love you when they're playing --only deep, deep down is there a part of them who can admit it's all just Liaisons Dangereuses-style seductions undertaken to impress our Marquise de Mateuil-du jour. Only later does it dawn on us that the Marquise was playing us too, the whole time. The hunter just got hunted!" (more)
"Robinson's devotion to his chosen craft was full and total so it's fitting and courageous that he uses his impending death from terminal cancer to transform what might have been just a so-so or even hammy moment into something very, very beautiful. The film never spells out directly what's to come as Robinson enters this gleaming white cube of a place called "Home" but we have a pretty good idea and it makes the kindness of the assistants and the air conditioning extra vividly etched. For all the sorrow and misery in the rest of the film here finally is some grace, an example of why humanity is worth saving, because it's willing, at last, to kill itself. Just knowing that Robinson will at least have a beautiful 20 minute drugged-out trip into the yawning blazing white yoni light of death is enough to make us happy for him. He's like a painter who at last steps back to see the big picture." (more)
"But what's truly diabolical about (these three films) is the way multiple viewings bring out a kind of subtextual unspoken paranoia, wherein 'accidental' sabotage takes on a whole new conspiratorial light. Maybe these aspects were in the original story, but in the re-edits became a comedy and the darkness--the 'point'--is weeded out. Years later, we watch them again and again, like incantations seen and heard instead of spoken and the deeper meanings are at last discerned, the insidious plotting of girls way more sophisticated than we doltish dupes can ever be is recognized too late to change it! We've been hoodooed by the hoodoo women, and God looks down at us and says "you are no longer my favorite son."" (more)
(Acidemic #8 - August)
The TV works you like any good cult brainwasher: terrorizing you and then comforting you, back and forth, over and over. In its overall guise as a continuing soap opera it hides the fact that it's your soul that's being soaped cleaned of its wallets and keys and sanity and precious dirtiness. Like raging waters in a flash flood that never ends the TV draws you under, promising any moment now the bubble bath soap salts will be added to the water and will cut you loose from the lead albatross of your body, blocking the sight of all the flooded black oil death below, and leaving free you to wander in Elysian Fields and to Wendy's and through the mall, and the monsters taking shape in the distant tornadoes shall be made once more too small to worry about... yet.

A Guide to Cable TV's best Paranormal / Ghost Hunting Shows
"If you have a cat, it's recommended you fire up the laser pointer, if you have one, and get her chasing the red dot around the room while watching these ghost shows, to situate yourself in a metatextual fractal chain. The cat finds the very elusive, impossible strangeness of the glowing red dot both baffling and exciting, sometimes frustrating, but always beguiling. Are ghosts perhaps the red dot God flashes around to keep us amused, to keep us running around, interested and engaged in an otherwise rather uninteresting environment?..." (more)
So 12.21.12 came and went. There were no aliens, no volcano erupted, no meteor crashed, no new anything happened and yes haltingly I stumbled like an off-guard republican at a press conference. I should have cried, or conveyed my sadness, which was even then too deep perhaps to voice. Ah, I said, but the change is within. The change is within us all. The 2012 event horizon is where the personal and the universal meet.

egg yolks
1/2 cup
white sugar
6 tablespoons
Marsala wine
2 pints
fresh raspberries
Note that sugar should be added gradually to eggs in double boiler and should be whisked
not just stirred. Don't add the wine until sugar and eggs have a custard-like consistency or the
alcohol will burn off by the time it's ready.
It can also be served at room temperature.
Not quite as good as my trad. recipe.
I disagree with mousie about the steps.
I have always combined all the ingredients then put it over simmering water and whisked it until nice and fluffy. Served over broken lady fingers and seasonal fruit. Fabulous finish to an Italian meal.
My recipe
12 egg yolks
1/2 cup superfine (berry) sugar
3/4 cup Marsala
Whisk until custard has tripled in volume and tempature reaches 140 degrees
19 Ratings
Loved this! I incorporated a couple of suggestions from a couple of recipes along w/ Mousie's review. You need to whisk vigorously & don't allow the simmering water to touch the bottom of the custard pan. I did as Mousie suggested & allowed it to thicken before adding the wine (I used Muscat instead of Marsala) & the wine thinned it out quite a bit but it soon thickened right back up. I served it in vintage sherbet glasses & topped each w/ two beautiful, huge strawberries & sprinkled a little raw sugar over it all. Wsa beautiful & had an awesome flavor!
I made this with amaretto because it was 8pm and Desperate Housewives was on in 1 hour. I was in a cooking mood but didn't have time to go to the store.
All the same, this was splendid and indulgent. I love it.
Follow the advice from Mousie reviewer and it will turn out perfectly. Thanks for the post (and the advice).
I haven't tried this yet, but I will and keep you posted. This looks very similar to the Norwegian eggedosis -- except for the Marsala and the cooking. I can't wait to try. To Mousie: The point of adding the Marsala and bringing it to the boiling point is so that the alcohol WILL burn off. This is so that children can enjoy without getting buzzed and becoming alcoholic before the age of 12. To the reviewer who said it tasted like egg: Ummm... that's what custard is .... Anyway! I'll let you know how I make out.
This was excellent. I wouldn't change a thing. I have tried other recipes and this is the only one that passed my husband test. I served the custard over fresh strawberries as he has had in two 4 star restaurants and he felt this was pretty darn close to what he had. Thank you for sharing.
I have served this over a spiced fruit compote (drained of fruit juices) and it is wonderful...if whisked continuously and for a good long time, it will thicken beautifully. The taste is like a custard laced with Marsala...excellent!

What is the Digital Media Studio?
The DMS is an open multimedia lab for the ASU campus. Its purpose is to provide access to current software and hardware, but most of all we provide help. We call the DMS an open lab because you do not have to be part of a class or specific college to use our facilities.
What are your hours?
See our calendar on the top right of this page.
Do I have to make an appointment?
You sure don't. If you just want to come see the lab, check out equipment, or use the computers you are welcome to just walk-in. If you need specific help on a project, then contact Hunter Phillips or Wil Cummings for a consultation.
Do you support classroom instruction?
Yes! If you would like to incorporate some form of digital media into your class, please talk to us first and we'll work out the details of your assignment. Then the well-trained students in the DMS will assist your students in creating their projects. Please contact Wil Cummings email@example.com for a consultation
Will you come demonstrate to my class?
Yes, if that is what we decide is the best choice for your assignment.
I would like to bring my class to the DMS. Is that something I can do?
Yes and No. If you work out the details ahead of time with Wil Cummings then we can figure out how to get your students the help they need. Our space is limited for large classes and we must remain open to other patrons for equipment checkout and other lab offerings. Please do not just bring an entire class to the DMS without letting us know well ahead of time.
Do you have (X) software or can you get it?
If you know of a software package that will be well used in our lab, then please let us know. We want to match other campus areas to provide a wide variety of current software packages.
I asked a student about (X) and they did not know, I thought you guys knew everything! Why did the student not know?
Each student in the DMS has a specific skill set. Some are video experts, some work with design and print, while others focus on audio. If you think you will need specific help please let us know ahead of time.
Can I leave my files in the DMS?
You should backup your files before leaving the lab. These are public machines and files can be erased. We will try to keep your files but reserve the right to reformat machines if needed.
Do you fix personal laptops?
No, please go see TSS support in Anne Belk Hall.
Will you come video something for me?
That is not a service that the DMS provides.
What do you have in the DMS?

Who said hijab has to be hot?
This cool invention caught our attention (no pun intended).
It's a head wrap sold by Brookstone that uses perspiration and special fabric to cool you down during a workout or on a hot day.
Would you wear something like this? Do you think hijab designers should use fabrics like this?
2 Responses to "Don't sweat in your hijab"
I think it's a great idea…and why not? Finding ways to beat the summer heat here or year round in other places is a challenge for all who wear hijab I think. Having a material that 'breathes' or uses what around us is natural is a good benefit. I've been thinking of sewing my own hijab's lately and I'm looking for the coolest materials around. I'll have to check this one out! Thanks!

Fish tacos...what makes them authentic?
I love fish tacos and try to order them every chance I get. I want to make them at home...you know, the right way. Once I ordered them in a restaurant and they came out made with salmon. It didn't work. I've mostly had them with some type of white fish, preferring the fish to be grilled vs. fried.
But what is the traditional way? Grilled? Fried? Which fish to use?
I know corn tortillas are a must. Is the cabbage part of the traditional deal? I like it a lot, but was curious.
I'm calling on you foodies in the know, especially if you are from California, land of the fish taco.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

BYU QB Taysom Hill's knee brace is here to stay
As former BYU linebacker Brandon Ogletree notes in this evaluation of the BYU-Virginia football game in his fine blog, quarterback Taysom Hill clearly does not run as well with the bulky brace on his left knee as he did before last year's season-ending knee injury.
Hill told the Tribune on Monday that he will most likely have to wear the brace the entire season. Evidently, that has always been the plan, although early in fall camp there was some doubt.
"It was something that I didn't necessarily think about, you know?" Hill said of the brace. "I think there was probably a little hindrance, but not enough to warrant saying, 'hey, let's take it off and not protect myself.' So it is fine, and it is something I will continue to wear."<
Hill's not sure whether the brace slowed him down, but he does know what it didn't do: make him faster.
"It is hard to say. I feel like if I go out to practice without it, I am quicker. I have a quicker step and stuff. There is a little bit [of hindrance]. It is bulky, it is heavy, and as you start to play it moves around, too. It definitely doesn't make me faster, but I don't know if it is enough to say, 'let's not wear it, and risk injury.'"
Hill's play, and especially his 13 of 40 passing effort against a mediocre, at best, Virginia defense has been the topic of many discussions this week, both around town and after BYU practices.
Said offensive coordinator Robert Anae:
"You know, we are all involved in the pass game. It starts with the offensive line. Obviously, it starts with the snap of the ball. Then the blocking. If you are targeting right, and the protection has a nice, big pocket, and the receivers are open, I really like Taysom Hill as a quarterback. He's excellent. But very few of those things were in place, and we are looking forward to this week having a much better grip on the other 10 guys on the field and what they are doing.
You cannot really judge a quarterback unless that part gets fixed. And we are in the process of doing that. Far from a completed deal."
Hill ran eight times for 57 yards. He was sacked three times for -15 yards, so his net rushing figures were 11 attempts for 42 yards.
"A lot of that is determined by the defense, so when a certain play is called ... Sometimes they are just called pulls, and other times they are reads," Anae said. "So I try to strike a good balance and look at the health of our quarterback. Boy, he slugged it out. Tried to avoid running him, running him, running him. We put him in a position to do more throwing, because the upside there is going to be tremendous.
When it all falls into place, everybody will go, 'oh, I see. I get it.' The first game, sophomore year, I am sure there are plenty of wild conclusions. But tune in. Like they said in the Batman thing, tune in to next week."
Coach Bronco Mendenhall said Saturday that he thought Hill played well, and repeated that on Monday when he met with reporters after practice.
"Well, as the game got on the line, there was a third and 11, a third and 12, where he was taking shots and reaching ahead to get the first down, and it is hard to say, 'don't do that,'" Mendenhall said. "To be able to sustain that for 12 more games, he's not going to be able to do that, so the rest of the execution around him has to improve, so it doesn't happen, that he doesn't have that burden. Then, I would say I don't think the delivering of the ball was as much of an accuracy issue as catching. So I thought he had a good game, a strong game."

Below is the poem entitled the beast and me which was written by poet
Mitchell. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Joanna Mitchell
There's fire in my lungs.
smoke flows through my veins.
I feed the beast my soul
to gain euphoric pain.
I serve he who lives in me.
The monster in my mind.
The creature so abusive,
at times can be so kind.
In my mental hell,
I sit beside his throne.
I tend to his desire,
so I don't have to be alone.
Here He is my god.
And I, in turn, am his.
A symbiotic worship,
sealed within a kiss.
Sulfuric fumes consume us,
as we dance into the ether.
The hands of god are ours.
Hes made me a believer.
My halo, so very worn.
His horns, so alluring.
Hand in hand we walk,
love and hate enduring.
His guidance lifts me higher
than any drug could try.
His chains hold me down.
bound wings can not fly.
Walking straight and tall,
crawling on my floor.
I am his moonlit goddess.
And his filthy whore.
I wont break his binds.
I wish not, to be free.
I can never escape him,
for this beast is me.

A common path towards Linked Open Data
]init[ brings together LOD experts and executives from European and international administrations
Some 40 high-level representatives from EU Commission, Council of the EU, the United Nations, NATO, WCO, national ministries, universities and NGOs as well as leading experts in the field of LOD explored the importance of Linked Open Data for open and transparent governance at the ]init[ office in Brussels on 12 April.
The EU has already put in place strategic directives and supporting projects as outlined by Richard Swetenham, Head of the Access to Information Unit at the European Commission's Directorate General Information Society and Media. (View his presentation on slideshare.)
Richard Cyganiak of the Data Enterprise Research Institute in Galway, Ireland, presented how Linked Open Data has picked up pace especially in the public domain. (View his presentation on slideshare.)
Vassilios Peristeras, who is responsible for interoperability services at the European Commission's Directorate General Informatics (among them SEMIC.EU), made the case for linked metadata, so called core concepts like person, organization, project, vehicle and place. (View his presentation on slideshare.)
The power that Linked Open Data can generate was finally illustrated by Johannes Keizer of the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. He used the occasion of this expert gathering to announce the official launch of "AGROVOC Linked Open Data": The world's largest agricultural thesaurus has now been completely structured and made available in machine readable form with over 30.000 concepts. (View his presentation on slideshare.)
The evening in Brussels showed a clear acknowledgement of the benefits of making one's own data accessible. In the advanced stages of LOD the true added value lies in the alignment of the data to common vocabularies.
After the remarkable success of the evening ]init[ now plans to continue and support the ever faster adoption of Linked Open Data in Germany.
Impressions and presentations of the event:
EC officials, researchers and IT professionals from Euope and also Germany took part at the open discussion and networking evening hosted by ]init[.
Richard Swetenham gives an overview of the European Commission's activities in LOD.

Used iMac with out installation disk
I acquired a 21.5" iMac with Ver 10.5.8 software but with no additional disks. I want to be able to back up and have a startup disk similar to my Windows machine. I have never used a Mac before. How do I proceed?
G'day and welcome to the forums.
Go to auction sites such as eBay and look for a Leopard OS X.5 full retail install DVD. Make sure it is a black disc and not a silver/grey system disc which will work only with the model computer it came with. Expect to pay in the vicinity of $100, or even more.
Even better purchase Snow Leopard OS X.6 from the Apple store or online, install and update to OS X.6.8, and later this week purchase as a download the new release OS X.7. The model iMac you describe are 2009, 2010 or 2011 models and all are Intel. These will cost you $29 each, and the Snow Leopard disc will be a boot disc.
The best thing to do would be to get snow leopard and then you can upgrade to lion if your machine is supported.
Is that an echo?
I would personally go with Harry's second suggestion I quoted above. Leopard discs can be hard to find or they are just too expensive. Leopard functions and looks close enough to Snow Leopard that you don't have to learn anything new. Jumping from Tiger to Snow Leopard would be a more drastic jump. I also much prefer Snow Leopard and you might feel the same. That's another reason to upgrade. ;)
I went with installing Snow Leopard. I purchased the game Asphalt 6 for my Grandson. I added him as a restricted user but the game only shows up on the Administrators account.
How do I allow him to play the game?
I'm not sure, but I doubt the game runs in Admin-only, so I can only guess that your restrictions are too restrictive. Make sure the game is in the Applications folder and no-where else.

More Algebra Islands
Mathematical Recursion and Induction
The discussion of mathematical induction and recursion represents a standalone island of know-how combining logic and algebra. Mathematical induction and inductive definitions may be covered to explain or derive formulas for geometric sums and binomial coefficients. Mathematical induction may be woven into the further development of skills and concepts to add to the logical structure of mathematics as seen in this phase and the following ones.
Mathematical induction and recursion, starting with site logic chapters, is not a difficult topic to develop. Its coverage sets the stage for factorial notation, summation notation, product notation, binomial coefficients and summation formulas for sums: arithmetic, geometric and other. In any light development of calculus, that is calculus limited to polynomials and their ratios, mathematical induction would also play a role in obtaining rules for differentiation of polynomials directly and in composite functions where the last applied or outer function is polynomial.
Algebra Island: Natural Logarithm and Powers, etc.
The forward and backward use of the compound interest formula and encounters with radical and powers there-in provides a context or hook for the algebraic description of the properties of the natural logarithm, its inverse the exponential functions, and the expression of radicals and powers in terms of the latter inverse and the exponential powers. Deriving and providing those expression shows how and when radicals and powers can be computed.
Site algebra steps shows how the natural logarithm and its inverse or antilog, the natural exponential functions may be introduced numerically with an algebraic description of their fundamental properties. Following that, their properties may be used to show how to compute radical, powers and more exponentials using the natural logarithm and its inverse, the exponential function. Showing how to compute the latter with the aid of logarithms and its inverse indicate when they can computed as well. In essence, the site treatment of the foregoing provides unifies the otherwise disconnected treatments that I have seen in secondary mathematics.
Algebra Islands: Sets Concepts and Notation - A Balanced Approach
In mathematics for practical use, set concepts and operations of membership, union, intersection, and complements, an may help in the description of sets of numbers, in counting objects by dividing them among disjoint or overlapping set - think of Venn Diagrams; in discussing and illustraing logic - think again of Venn Diagrams; in the algebraic codification of probability theory in this phases, and in the algebraic description and codification of functions and their properties in the next phase. Before mastery of the algebraic statement of conditions to define subsets - see the safe set theory below, sets may be defined by a roster method - listing their members; and sets may introduced or depicted Geometrical as a set of points in the plane in as a set of points in a Venn Diagram.
Note: When sets are introduced by the roster method, we may allow elements to be repeated in the list, and then introduce a roster shrinkage method to make the list shorter. As a first example,
\[\{\frac{25}{5}, 15, 20, \frac{50}{10}\} = \{5, 15, 20 \}\]
Then in talking about rational numbers as being the set of unsigned fraction $\frac{p}{q}$ where p and q denote whole numbers, we do not have to talk about duplicate values or equivalent fractions in the list because roster shrinkage will replace one by a single representative, say the one in which p and q are relatively prime.
Safe Set Theory
Everyday language uses the terms set, group and collection interchangeable. More formally, set concepts and operations in mathematics are codified in via the concepts and operations involving membership, union, intersection, complements, and what has been called set builder notation. The latter in fact would be better described as subset formation notation. In the eighteen hundreds, the too free or wild creation of sets led to self-reference paradoxes. To make set formation safer in the discussion of numbers, sets of numbers or their set theorectic equivalents were assumed. Then set formation was limited to forming subsets of a given set A, to set products sets
\[ A \times B = \{ [a,b] | a \in A, b \in B\} \]
that is sets of ordered pairs from two existing sets A and B; and to forming the power set 2A- the set of all subsets of an existing set A. The set operations of intersection, union and complement by taking placing a larger set may be cast as safe.
Algebra Island: Probability Theory and Counting Methods
The coverage of probability is reserved to the end of phase 3. It requires coverage of function notation and review or coverage of set concepts and operations: membersbip, union, complement, intersection. The counting principles employed to the find the number of ways events or outcomes can be occur entail mastery of recursion in computation and in mathematical induction.
From home and elementary instruction, students may be familar with likelihood and chance. That is, Earlier use of likelihood in deciding whether or not to take a chance will be algebraically extended here into set-based probability theory. Mastery of probability and allied concepts of expected value may be presented as a base for taking or avoiding risks. The question of when to buy a lottery ticket or to visit a casino may be addressed in class.
Inverse Functions in Calculus or Before
Given the graph of a function y = f(x), one may use a vertical line method to find the value of f(x) from the graph, given the value of x in its domain. In that traditional, the graph of y versus x takes the y-axis to be vertical and the x-axis to be horizontal. To find or study the inverse of the function f, we may graph x versus y for the equation x = f(y). The table of values and graph of the latter is given by transpose the table of values and graph for y = f(x), provided we still keep the values of y along the vertical axis and those of x along the y-axis. On this graph of x =f(y), we may still try to apply the vertical line method to find y, given x. That works if the graph as a whole or a restricted portion of it, satisfies the vertical line rule. The foregoing provides a simple "dual" way to introduce and define a left inverse of a function. If we assume the transpose of a graph also transposes it tangent line, a formula for the derivative of the inverse is also suggested if not rigourous implied. For rigour, see the site treatment of this matter. The fact that the transpose [b,a] of a point [a,b] are reflections of each other may be mentioned in the foregoing, but is not critical. And in this development, the modern mathematics definion of a real-valued function y -f(x) as set of points in the plane need not appear. We simply take a formula for f(x) and it graph as two different computation rules for the same function.

Site Reviews1996 - Magellan, the McKinley Internet Directory:
Mathphobics, this site may ease your fears of the subject, perhaps even help you enjoy it. The tone of the little lessons and "appetizers" on math and logic is unintimidating, sometimes funny and very clear. There are a number of different angles offered, and you do not need to follow any linear lesson plan. Just pick and peck. The site also offers some reflections on teaching, so that teachers can not only use the site as part of their lesson, but also learn from it.

2002 - NSDL Scout Report for Mathematics, Engineering, Technology -- Volume 1, Number 8
Math resources for both students and teachers are given on this site, spanning the general topics of arithmetic, logic, algebra, calculus, complex numbers, and Euclidean geometry. Lessons and how-tos with clear descriptions of many important concepts provide a good foundation for high school and college level mathematics. There are sample problems that can help students prepare for exams, or teachers can make their own assignments based on the problems. Everything presented on the site is not only educational, but interesting as well. There is certainly plenty of material; however, it is somewhat poorly organized. This does not take away from the quality of the information, though.

This essay is neither for nor against Glenn Beck.

Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since... Read More
How (Not) to Think about Death: A Meditation on Life
In the Genesis account of the Fall, the primary reason that Adam and Eve are driven out of Eden is so that after having eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they may not eat of the tree of life and live forever. This narrative provides a very straightforward account of how death comes into the world: It is a consequence of disobeying God. Underlying the etiological import of the story, though, is an interesting assumption about the nature of death itself.... Read More

My family has a history of heart disease. Does that mean I will have it too?
A family history of heart disease does add to your risk factors. While we cannot change our family history, we can make lifestyle changesincluding exercise and a proper diet-- that will help lower our risk factors. Be sure to inform your physician about your familys history of heart disease and schedule regular check-ups. This will improve the chances of detecting any possible heart problems early.
Will I know if Im having heart problems?
Some people have obvious symptoms of heart disease -- such as chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heart beats. But it is quite possible to have heart problems and experience no symptoms at all. A simple blood test to check your cholesterol, or having your blood pressure checked and discussing your health history with your physician, will give you the information you need to decide whether or not you need further treatment. What Are the Risk Factors for Heart & Circulatory Disease?The total number of risk factors you have determines your overall risk of heart disease. Some risk factors can be controlled, and it has been proven that doing so will reduce the chances of heart and circulatory disease developing or worsening.Risk factors include:

Multiple sources are reporting that a grievance hearing has been set for July 8 to determine whether the Nashville Predators failed to submit qualifying offers to seven restricted free agents prior to this past Monday's 5 p.m. ET deadline.
The players involved are Sergei Kostitsyn, Matt Halischuk, Nick Spaling, Chris Mueller, Andreas Thuresson, Linus Klasen and Cal O'Reilly. The Predators put out a news release Tuesday claiming they had issued qualifying offers to all seven players.
An arbitrator will rule on the case -- and if he finds that the Predators did not meet the deadline, the players will all become unrestricted free agents. The free-agent signing period began at 12 p.m. ET Friday.
"We are not aware of any defects relating to Qualifying Offers tendered by the Nashville Predators to certain of the team's players as several media outlets are reporting," the NHL said in a statement released Wednesday night. "Those players, having timely received Qualifying Offers, will be Restricted Free Agents as of July 1, and both the players and the team will be accorded the various rights and benefits of Restricted Free Agency as set forth in the CBA."

I was talking this morning with an older gentleman who, on my recommendation, had dabbled with a few classes in Feldenkrais method and had a couple of one-on-one sessions with a practitioner to help him with some back pain. I asked him how it went for him. "It made no differ...

continued Planned Parenthood also provides educational materials and accompaniment for victims to have someone there to go with them to the police station, to seek medical services and forensic examinations, and through court proceedings.
"The venue, the raffle items and the bands were all donated, so we can put all the money toward helping provide services to victims of sexual assault," said Darrah.
Darrah, who has organized the event for five of its seven programs, said she keeps jumping to volunteer because it's a fun event that is helpful to many people.
"One of the best results of this event has been getting the hotline information out there," Darrah said. "I don't know if many people even knew we offered it till we started getting it out there with Rock Against Rape."
Esposito said it is very important to have these services available for victims so they know no one asks to be raped.
"Our services are for both females and males," said Esposito. "People seem to think rape is a crime that is just about sex. Rape is a crime about power and control."
For more information about the event, or to make a donation, call Planned Parenthood at 561-4430
Anyone seeking counseling services or for help coping with an assault can call the free hotline at 1-877-212-2323.

LOBO FLASHBACKS: Lobo Flashbacks is a summer feature of GoLobo.com looking back on special teams, players, games or moments from the 2013-14 University of New Mexico athletic season.
By Richard Stevens – Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
A quarterback needs an O-line and a few running backs to really be a star and it was that way for Lobo Chantale Riddle during New Mexico's 24-7 run through the 2013 season.
She needed help. She got it.
And although Coach Jeff Nelson had a great team with great chemistry in rolling out the program's most wins since 1988, he also had that all-important, go-to star in Riddle. He had a hammer at the net – a hammer who could do a whole lot of other things, too.
"Everybody looks at Chantale's kills and how dynamic a force she is at the net, but she is one of the more complete, all-around players in the nation," said Nelson.
Sure, Riddle did all that other stuff and a dynamic dig is one of the more exciting plays in volleyball. But when Riddle soared above the net preparing to smash-mouth a volleyball down into enemy territory, it was a breath-stealing moment.
This jumping jack Lobo almost commits a felony when she attacks the ball.
In the season of 2013, Riddle attacked the ball like few Lobos before her to finish with 468 kills on 1,203 attempts. The next most active UNM attacker was Julia Warren with 618 attacks. Yes, Riddle was go-to, but there wasn't much the opposition could do to stop her.
Her play earned Riddle a spot on the AVCA All-American Team, the AVCA All-Pacific South Region Team and also on the All-Mountain West Team. She is only the seventh Lobo player to earn AVCA All-American honors and the first since Jeanne Fairchild in 2008.
"She is such an amazing athlete," said Nelson.
Riddle is a special offensive weapon and she will be used time and time again in the upcoming 2014 season. But she also will get down on defense – or up on defense. She had 240 digs and 104 blocks. She produced 544 points for UNM to lead the team by more than 200 points.
If you missed any of Riddle's savage smashes in 2013, you might not want to miss any in 2014. The Roswell, N.M. product enters her senior year officially vs. Seattle University and NCAA powerhouse Texas on Friday, August 29 in Johnson Center.
Be prepared to hold your breath.

Factors affecting learning
Factors affecting learning emphasises the relational aspects of learning at all levels.
Distinguishing between working and learning through work is difficult. It is similarly difficult to separate factors that affect learning at work because in many cases they interact strongly. The distinctions made below particuarly in the main headings should be understood as analytical aids rather than distinctly different categories. Factors affecting learning emphasises the relational aspects of learning at all levels. It is a dynamic rhetoric. These issues will be explored as TLRP projects continue to engage with these issues over the next few years.

TUCSON, Ariz. - The New Mexico baseball team narrowly missed sweeping the series in Tucson, but Arizona topped the Lobos 19-16, Sunday afternoon at Kindall Field.
UNM jumped out to a 3-0 lead after two innings with sophomore Jordan Pacheco scoring on a ground out from junior Chris Carlson in the first and junior Matt Foote and sophomore Ian Hollick scoring on singles in the second.
Arizona chipped the Lobos' lead down to one with two runs in the bottom of the second as Brad Glenn walked home on a hit by pitch from senior Darren Coltrinari to Colt Sedbrook. Brad Boyer followed with an RBI single, scoring Jon Gaston.
Carlson got the two runs back in the top of the third with a two run home run to left field that brought in junior Jay Russell. But four hits and two errors in the bottom of the inning led to eight Arizona runs, giving the Wildcats a 10-5 lead.
New Mexico pulled within one (10-9) in the fourth as Carlson hit a sacrifice fly to right, bringing home junior Chris Dabbs. Junior Daniel Stovall followed with a three-run bomb to center, drving in Pacheco and Russell.
The bottom of the fifth started with two singles and a double, putting two more Arizona runs on the board. A single through the right side by Bill Rhinehart drove in the third and fourth runs of the inning. Boyer brought in Rhinehart for the fifth and final run of the inning, increasing Arizona's lead to 15-9.
Pacheco led off the sixth with a solo shot to left and freshman Zach Arnett had an RBI single to right center in the seventh to pull the Lobos within four at 15-11. But a double from Derek Decater and a single from Konrad Schmidt put three more runs on the board in the bottom of the seventh, giving the Wildcats their biggest lead at 18-11.
Hollick tripled to center in the eighth for two RBI and Arizona scored again in the bottom of the inning as Sedbrook homered to left.
With two outs in the ninth, Stovall picked up two more RBI on a single through the left side and Foote added a run with a double down the left line but that is all the Lobos could get, falling 19-16.
Ryan Perry earned the win for Arizona, throwing 2.2 innings of relief for five hits, two runs, two walks and a strikeout. Coltrinari suffered the loss, going 2 innings for three hits, seven runs (5 earned), three walks and a strikeout.
Pacheco, Foote and Arnett all were 3-for-5 to lead the team in hits while Stovall drove in a team-high five runs. Carlson had four RBI while Hollick added three. Boyer, Gaston, Rhinehart and Sedbrook led Arizona with three hits each while Boyer, Berger and Rhinehart led the team with three RBI.
The Lobos, 5-3 overall, return home to take on New Mexico State on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Isotopes Park. Live stats are available on the Lobos' official website, www.GoLobos.com. The game will also be aired locally on KDEF 1150 AM and on the internet via the Lobos' website.

INFOGRAPHIC - America's Free and Charitable Clinics: Vital Support for 30 Million Uninsured Americans
A new report to be released by the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics reveals that over the last two years the nation's 1,200 Free and Charitable Clinics have seen a 40 percent increase in patient demand, despite the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 31 million Americans will remain uninsured by
2024, including many who qualify for health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act but face additional barriers to gaining coverage such as language barriers, lack of transportation options and physician shortages. As detailed in the new report, many of those who remain uninsured live in states that have chosen not to expand Medicaid coverage as permitted under the new health care law.
For decades, Free and Charitable Clinics have provided a range of medical, dental, pharmacy,
vision and behavioral health services to economically disadvantaged Americans. In so doing, they have served as a safety net for those who have fallen through the cracks of America's health care system — and studies have shown that they have also decreased the burden on the nation's emergency rooms.

The Public Health Service (PHS) Act section 224(o) extends the ability for volunteers, employees, board members, officers, and contractors of qualified free clinics to be deemed as employees for the PHS for purposes of medical malpractice. This deeming status in turn provides medical malpractice coverage under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).
More information can be found at http://bphc.hrsa.gov/ftca/freeclinics/.
This program has saved free clinics hundreds of thousands of dollars since its inception and is a great opportunity for free clinics. The Free Clinics FTCA Program is administered by the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) at the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). We have partnered with BPHC and the FTCA program to provide technical assistance to those currently deemed or researching the process. While we will answer as many questions as we can, the NAFC recommends you contact April Fields at BPHC.

Sleep study kits available by mail
Accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine
Team of experienced sleep technicians and doctors
Founded in 2000
Can I Do A Home Sleep Study?
A home sleep study can be performed and administered to anyone who believes they may be experiencing sleep apnea. These tests are designed in a way that allows our team of doctors to diagnosis obstructive sleep apnea by looking at the data that is collected. Data that is collected by these at-home tests include heart rate, airflow, breathing effort, and oxygen levels.
There are a number of reasons why our patients choose to have an at-home test performed. The most common reason is because of insurance coverage. Many insurance companies require a patient to go through a sleep study at home before they will approve or consider a lab test.
Another popular reason our patients want an at-home test is because it is easy and convenient. Our patients can administer the test in the comfort of their own home.
Our team of sleep technicians and doctors can help determine if an at-home sleep test is right for your current situation. Contact us at Apnix Sleep Diagnostics – The Houston Sleep Center to learn more about how these tests can help you get more sleep in Houston.
Reviews on a Home Sleep Study Houston?
Reviews for kits used to conduct a sleep study at home can be found on third-party review websites, such as Sleep Review. Sleep Review is an industry specific publication that focuses on providing the latest information for the sleep industry.
Customers can read client reviews regarding their experience with a specific company by visiting the company's website. Apnix Sleep Diagnostics – The Houston Sleep offers customers the chance to read client testimonials. Our website has a client testimonial page that is filled with reviews from previous customers. Potential customers thinking of having a sleep study performed with us can watch video interviews from previous customers to see what experience they had with our sleep labs and doctors. Contact us at Apnix Sleep Diagnostics – The Houston Sleep to schedule a sleep study and get a potential diagnosis for your snoring in Houston.
What is a Home Sleep Study and What to Expect?
Sleep studies can sometimes be administered in the patient's home. Using a small, portable monitor, these at-home sleep studies can help diagnosis obstructive sleep apnea. These tests can also monitor heart rate, airflow, breathing effort, and oxygen levels. Some at-home tests can even measure brain waves, but it depends upon the type of monitor that is used for the testing process.At-home testing is done for a number of reasons. Sometimes insurance companies will only cover this type of testing or they may require that an at-home test be performed before approving a lab sleep study. Other times these at-home sleep tests are performed because they are more convenient and comfortable for the patient. A sleep study conducted at home is extremely easy to perform. The patient will be issued a testing kit that contains all the equipment needed to administer this test. The kit will contain a small monitor that is placed around the waist and a small clip that is placed over the finger. An airflow sensor will also be included in the kit. This will be placed under the nose.
Patients will place the monitoring equipment on them, turn the device on, and sleep as they normally would throughout the night. The equipment will track and monitor all data. After the sleep study, the equipment is returned to us at Apnix Sleep Diagnostics – The Houston Sleep, where the data is analyzed by our team of doctors. Contact us at Apnix Sleep Diagnostics – The Houston Sleep to schedule a home sleep study.

The good die young and the rest become famous… negative behaviour may not do your reputation any favours, but ironically such a reputation is more likely to get you noticed:
So why would we be especially attentive to people with a bad reputation? In general, the brain prioritizes negative information over positive – you're more likely to survive if you mistakenly respond to a stick as though it were a snake than if you make the opposite error. But because, historically, humans have been the biggest predators of other humans (as well as their greatest source of support), signs of human treachery should be even more likely to capture our attention.

Press Release
Salazar Urges Parents to Take Children Out to Parks At "Let's Move Outside" Event at Golden Gate Recreation Area
Contact: Hugh Vickery (202) 208-6416
SAN FRANCISCO – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today urged parents to take their children out to parks for exercise and outdoor recreation as part of a "Let's Move Outside" event with a group of fourth grade students at the Crissy Field Center in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
"Let's Move Outside" is a nationwide initiative adopted by the National Park Service as part of First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign to end childhood obesity in a generation.
"With the Let's Move Outside initiative, the National Park Service is helping Americans fulfill the First Lady's challenge to get outdoors for better health and for fuller, richer lives," Salazar said before joining the fourth graders from New Traditions School in San Francisco for exercise and other activities. "Places like Golden Gate National Recreation Area offer wonderful opportunities for families to stretch their legs, fill their lungs with fresh air, and connect with the natural world. Visiting parks can also instill in children a lifelong love of the great outdoors."
As part of the initiative, the National Park Service has instituted the "Let's Move Outside Junior Ranger program, "a modified version of the popular Junior Ranger program that rewards children for participating in healthy activities, such as hiking, biking, canoeing, and swimming.
Now operating in 52 national parks across the country – including a range of cultural and historic sites – Let's Move Outside fulfills the dual goals of improving our children's health, and instilling ethics of stewardship and civic pride.
Salazar noted that Golden Gate is a premier urban national park that offers seven million people in the San Francisco Bay Area an opportunity to experience the beauty of nature and to learn about the region's history and culture. In particular, youth and environmental education programs at the park's Crissy Field Center – a partnership of the NPS, the Presidio Trust, and the nonprofit Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy – are among the best in the National Park System. Program coordinators engage communities in the development of programs, many of which are tailored specifically for diverse audiences.
"Let's Move Outside" complements President Obama's "America's Great Outdoors" initiative to create a conservation agenda for the 21st Century and to reconnect Americans to nature.
"People take care of what they love," Salazar said. "If we are going to have a successful conservation legacy in the 21st Century, our young people must develop a passion and a love for the great outdoors and all the wonders of the natural world. And, of course, visiting parks is fun and healthy."
