Warm greetings. I hope your summer went well and you got at least a bit of vacation time away from your busy work schedules. Autumn is rushing in and that means our Fall Meeting is very near. I hope you all can make it to Salt Lake City. The meeting starts Thursday, September 26, with a Clinical Pathology symposium chaired by Dr. Ted Pysher. Friday brings a COG Update, platform and poster presentations, awards, the Lotte Straus Lecture, the Reception and an evening Perinatal slide seminar. Saturday begins with a symposium on �Chronic Inflammatory and Premalignant Conditions of the Pediatric Colon,� moderated by Dr. Amy Lowichik, and ends with our Social Hour and Banquet. For those registering for the Sunday Perinatal session, the meeting continues with a symposium on �Developmental Genetics of Congenital Anomalies,� moderated by Drs. Harsh Thaker and Jessica Comstock. A very full, educational and exciting four days. I hope to see you there.
The Society has been busy since the Baltimore Spring Meeting. I want to update the membership on a few of the most important activities the Council and Executive have been involved with over the last six months.
The article on autopsy professional work (Arch Pathol Lab Med 2013;137:228-32) published in the February issue of Archives generated a great deal of discussion, consternation and even a bit of anger from pediatric pathologists. Activity on the listserv related to the article was frantic for several days. A panel of Society members came together to issue a response to the article. This started out as a Letter to the Editor, but evolved into a weighty �rebuttal� Guest Editorial. The Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has accepted the editorial for publication and it should appear before the end of the year. I want to personally acknowledge Drs. Ona Faye-Petersen, Linda Ernst, Robin LeGallo, Galen Schauer, Alex Williamson and Cristina Pacheco, and the support of the Practice Committee, for putting together the response.
The College of American Pathologists invited the Society to contribute to their Learning Portal about one year ago. The Society embraced this opportunity and I am very happy to report that the first pediatric pathology module, Perinatal and Placental Pathology, has been drafted and edited and is well on its way to being published on the CAP Learning Portal. For this the hard work of Drs. Sarah Keating, Phil Katzman, Michael Caplan, Jessica Comstock, Ana Gomez and Linda Margraf is gratefully acknowledged.
Two areas of the Society highlighted by the member survey conducted in the last year were our website and our publications. Both of these activities are diligently being worked on by the Society.
Dr. John Hicks, the Chair of the Ad Hoc Website Committee, Dr. Rob Ruiz, the Website Editor, and George Clay, our site webmaster, have been reviewing options for updating our website to, among other improvements, better accommodate mobile and tablet interaction and content management. In addition they have been deeply involved with the transition of the USCAP to a new information system. This directly involves SPP membership and meeting functions, such as handling of abstracts, meeting evaluations and CME crediting, and requires some customization to accommodate SPP requirements. These functions mostly run behind the scenes and the new USCAP system won�t replace our website. However, there will be some differences compared to our current system in how membership and CME activities are handled.
Dr. Sharon Geaghan, Chair of the Publications Committee, Dr. Raj Kapur, President-Elect and Dr. Miguel Reyes-Mugica, Editor-in-Chief of Pediatric and Developmental Pathology, have organized a retreat to address several issues raised by the membership regarding our publications, Pediatric and Developmental Pathology and Perspectives in Pediatric Pathology. The retreat will be held in Salt Lake City just before the start of the Fall Meeting and several members of the Society, as well as the publisher of PDP, have agreed to take part. Among the higher profile topics on the agenda are online only publishing of the journals and Perspectives ebook publishing. Decisions coming out of the retreat will be brought to Council and those approved will be directed to the Publications Committee for implementation.
This was just a brief review of a select few of the many activities members of the Society contribute to improve, grow and promote our Society and pediatric pathology. If you have ideas that you think would benefit the Society please pass them on to the Executive or the appropriate committee Chair. If you want to contribute more directly to the Society please look at our committees � that is the �front line� of the Society. And don�t forget the �Donate to the SPP� button on the home page of our website!

NYC Neighborhood Map: West Village and Soho
The cobblestone streets of pedestrian-friendly Soho exude both historical charm and the modern draw of fantastic shopping—the haute couture is priced like fine art, though there are also plenty of fast fashion shops and small boutiques to peruse. A few galleries remain from the area's artistic past, and, like the Village, Soho offers plenty of top-notch dining and nightlife options.
This neighborhood overview and travel map of West Village/Soho comes from the Sixth Edition of Moon Metro New York. The maps available in our Metro guidebooks contain markers that correspond to listings for sights, hotels, and other attractions. These markers have been removed in this free online map.

Just came back from one of the best climbing trips ive had in my life. Great friends, great climbs, great weather. It was very nice to come back and send first go of Smooth Shrimp [V6] out in the buttermilks!
Send Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK8EGcMQXJsThe problem goes as a traverse on crimps. But honestly, I would call it a really soft V6. Speaking because the crimps are really bomber… almost jugs in some areas. And the end of the climb goes up a V1 up on flakes to the top of the boulder. Having no crash pads for the whole section of this climb will probably help you not butt dab. Definitely one that doesnt involve a mental challenge compared to the rest of the buttermilks. Speaking where the biggest challenge of the boulder problem would being high of the deck. The most terrifying part for my climbing on Bubba Gump boulder is the V1 down climb haha. Nonetheless, maybe if this climb was 15ft higher off the deck I could call it a V6 with the extra mental challenge. For now… its a soft but dragging V6.
My first attempt at this climb was last month, where I nearly flashed it… but failed to finish the climb because I was on my 3rd day of straight climbing on my first trip to bishop. My fingers were TRASHED bleeding, and I was exhausted. When I arrived at this boulder on my 2nd trip I got it first go, pretty cheese. Pretty excited about that. I still have yet to touch high planes drifter! Next trip!

Psytrance Tutorial Day 5: FX and Resampling in Reason 5
Hi, I'm Dave from boyinaband.com and welcome to day 5 of my 7 day song on Psytrance. Yesterday, I taught you how to fashion some fancy pads. Today, we'll be kitting out the song with the essential FX, and I'll teach you how to re-sample in Reason 5.
More so than other genres, Psytrance relies heavily on samples and fx to keep the track sounding full – it's basically providing backing noises to assist the listener in entering that entranced state.
Here I've simply put an instance of Kong inside a combinator (as always – combinators just keep things tidy) and each pad triggers a different sample. I used to use ReDrum for my FX banks, but Kong is a lot simpler, as you don't have to route each individual channel to a mixer channel to apply effects to each sound – they can just be added in the fx banks. Much simpler.
But yes, I'll show you how I added the samples. I'll pick this new pad and load one up to demonstrate. Simply add an NN-Nano sampler to the drum module for the pad, then click the open button and select a sample on your hard drive. All the samples I've used are from the Primeloops.com XXL Dance FX sample pack, which is great, otherwise give their Razor FX pack a try – either of them are awesome.
In the case of most of the samples, I've made the samples only trigger for as long as the sample is held down, so the reverses cut off as soon as I want them to. This is easy to do – simply turn the decay shape in NN-Nano to "Gated" and the decay to 0. Then check it out – BLAMMO! Dead stop. Pretty violent, really.
The samples I've used are 4 kind of one-shot triggered samples, a zoomy one, an explosion with a bit of reverb to replace the need for a crash, since I felt it was cool to not use a generic crash sound for once, this string hit sample which I've pitched-down an octave by turning the pitch knob to fully left, which is in the key of C fortunately enough, and this sound that on its own sounds like you kicked over a bin, but with a bit of tape echo and filtering, sounds like you walked through a portal into an apocalyptic wasteland. At least that's what it sounds like when I step through foreboding vortexes.
Make sure the feedback is nice and high to maintain the echo and the dry/wet is enough so the first hit is still louder than the tail of the sound, otherwise it sounds a bit strange. Stranger than the aformentioned apocalyptic portal.
The frequency I've just kept on Low Pass to make it gradually less high pitched so it gives that cool impression of distance. Remember – low frequencies travel faster and more effectively over distance and as such, the further a sound gets from you, the bassier it will become! I totally thought about it that much when creating this sound and didn't just add effects until it sounded cool.
So on the next row we've got this eerie sample that I wouldn't be surprised if it was a field recording of a ghost trapped in a vacuum cleaner, The first reverse sound that I've carefully pitched up to a C from its original F so it matches the key of the song, a riser sound that's a bit longer, and another nice higher pitched reverse that's quite eerie – I think it was a piano note reversed.
Lastly I've got this sound I resampled, but I'll come to that in part 2.
If we take a look at the sequencer, we can see I've sprinkled some sounds in on different note lanes with names to help me remember what each one is when arranging the FX. I've used that pitched reverse, for instance, a few times quite quietly – remember, you can adjust volumes from within Kong easily with the volume knob for each pad – to add a certain je ne sais quoi to the beat.
I'll talk more about arrangement of the fx in Day 6, but I'll just say that it's generally a good idea to end a reverse with a hit. Otherwise it's like a big build up to nothing, akin to expecting an Xbox 360 for christmas and ending up being stuck with a plain old PS3. I'm joking, I'm not really an Xbox fanboy, I own a PS2 and a PSOne. As well as a Wii, Xbox 360, DS, PSP, Xbox, Gamecube, N64, Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, Mega Drive, SNES, Master System, NES, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Colour. But enough about my friend-less childhood, let's move on to part 2 where I'll explain about the wonders of resampling!
Now this is quite a useful technique for sound manipulation! Say you've got a sound you really like but some of the effects you've applied are a bit unpredictable and playing different notes doesn't work as you'd like – this is a time for resampling! Particularly good for making dubstep basses, eerie atmospheric sounds and generally anything pretty messed up.
Reason 5 makes it very easy. Firstly, make a spider audio splitter (hold shift so it doesn't connect to anything) after the main mixer. Hit tab to look at the back of the rack, Route the mixer to the splitter, then the splitter to both the mastering suite and the Sampling Input in the Audio I/O section up top. Now try playing a sound and see if it shows up in the sampling input. Yep – sorted.
Now, head over to Kong (you can do this with the other Reason Samplers as well) and in an instance of NN-Nano, we're going to click the little audio wave button that has the convenient tooltip "Start Sampling", then play our sound – in this case that string sample after I turn the pitch back up, since it sounds pretty cool with the echo on it.
So let's give that a go… then press edit. If you press stop, it goes straight in and you've got your sample. Pressing edit allows you to tidy things up. The editing window lets you normalize the sample, which makes it as loud as it can be without clipping, reverse it, crop it (so cutting off the start and end, let's do that now – make sure you have "Snap Sample Start/End to Transients" selected – this means that the sample will only start where the wave is at a middle point which prevents the wave sound from clipping at the start and end.
You can also loop it, but for now let's leave it and check out our shiny new sample! Sweet – now we can chuck it in the song and add even more effects to it, then get inspired to resample it again, add more effects and… yeah, it's a pretty vicious and addictive cycle. Be prepared to lose a lot of time to resampling when you get the bug.
So there we have it! Some FX more eerie than a Barack Obama dressed as a Bunny Rabbit. Tune in for day 6 where we'll be talking about the structure of Psytrance and arranging the song! Toodle pip!
One Response to "Psytrance Tutorial Day 5: FX and Resampling in Reason 5"
Whats up man, I have a question about sampling and I want to ask you about, I'm
using reason 5.0 and I want to know why I am not able to hear my whole sample when I sequence with reason, I can hear it fine before I press record, as soon as I record it, it cuts the sample off …. I know its something simple that im not doing or need to do. If you can help I would really appreciate it… You can email me at email@example.com Thank you so much!!

40 and looking to start a landscaping co.

Starting a landscape business is old hat to me. I know the drill, but also know that things have changed. The economy, fly by night station wagon rebels, low ballers, and so on were and always will be an obstacle for one whom does not have an established business. Even then, some guys are getting dropped due to $$ as many folks are cutting back. Well, the tides have shifted over the last 6-months. People are not moving, new construction has been back burnered or stopped in some cases, and many folks are forced to have a dual income. With this being said, the family time is limited, and for some the last thing they want to do is ride a 36" Toro across a two acre lawn for 2.5hrs or better. They hire a LCO and gain back that 2.5 hrs. Some people chose to put their house on the market but were told they will take a 50K+ hit less than what they paid for the house. This made the homeowner rethink and lean toward reinvesting in the home they own vs. selling. Outside entertaining areas are big here in NJ. paverers...slate....ponds....new landscape design just to mention a few are in demand as a result of people staying put. The way I look at it is if your a people person, know what you are selling, and your work speaks for itself, you will do just fine. Mowing is just a foot in the door for hard scape. I have the ability to execute large jobs, but want to ease into the business and enjoy myself. With only a 8-10k investment, the profit margin is much higher than the person whom financed the whole S&K (30K or more) resulting in a $600 a month payment on equipment only. Within the first year the 8-10K will be paid off.
As for my health...well I just was thinking out loud. If I want it that bad, dropping 40-50 lbs is not a big deal. I laid two pallets of blue stone, spread 5 yards of QP, and buttoned up the job in two days last week by myself. It felt good and I was surprised that I DID NOT have any back issues or pain the next morning. Honestly I am not a big bucket of sheot, but just a big dude. Chasing a walk behind around will strip the weight off in no time. Hey I already lost 20 lbs. just being active during the day and not sitting behind a desk.
I feel that if there was a time to open a business it would be now. The economy is no longer flat lined and is on a slow climb. If you were starting out say in 06-07 you would have extended yourself and outlaid cash to keep up with the business. Some saved money while others spent it. Others are folding and paving way for new folks like myself. The glass is half full or half empty...all in the eye of the beholder.
Hey, you've made up your mind already, why are you still here posting...
Good luck, you don't need validation or our okeedokee, just do it already...

unneccessary lag problems
i have the best computer of all my friends... and ironically enough, counter-strike: source runs the ****tiest.
i have:
P3 Hyper Threading 3.2 GHz
GeForce FX 5700 Ultra 128 MB AGP
1 gb ram
and in 640 x 480 res, with everything on low quality...
it lags when lots of models are in view.
ocasionally i will get a smooth rhythm of 60 FPS, but most of the time its alot worse.
HOW CAN I FIX THIS ??? PLZZZ i really dont think this 150$ graphics card is suppose to run this ****ty.
any ideas on what i should do? any programs i should download? somethin?
Re: unneccessary lag problems
To be honest, thats more of a low end card. When did you pay $150 for it??
Theres probably more to the problem, but Half-Life 2 runs better on ATI cards, and yours is a low end Nvidia card, so dont expect TOO much from it in that game. Still, make sure anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering are off. Try some different driver versions too.
Re: unneccessary lag problems
I don't know, my friend has an FX5700 series card and he runs css at 800X600 and all the other settings at default. He also has an AMD XP 2500+ and 768mb ram. He runs css at just fine fps.
Re: unneccessary lag problems
Yeah, I agree. The 6600 card are great.

EDITORIAL: For struggling families, every can helps
Keeping the shelves of local food pantries stocked has been a battle, as you're probably aware. Increasing demand (owing to the high joblessness rate) and decreasing supply (owing to funding and donation shortfalls) means more families are in need of stores from a dwindling supply.
Fortunately, the Lee County community continues to respond through organizations like CUOC (Christians United Outreach Center) and the Salvation Army. And coming up are two prime opportunities to respond again.
First up is "The Fair Can-Paign," a special promotion held by the Sanford Lions Club in conjunction with this year's Lee Regional Fair, which kicks off next week. The fair event, slated for Sept. 15, will allow visitors free gate admission with the donation of five cans of nonperishable food. Volunteers will be stationed at the gates of the Lee Regional Fair on the event's closing day to accept the donations of canned food and deliver them to areas and agencies in need.
Then, a few days later, is the second annual "Great Grocery Can-Paign," sponsored by The Herald and the United Way of Lee County. Like last year, it's a day-long public collection of canned foods. This year, it'll take place at Depot Park in downtown Sanford, where volunteers will operate a "drive-and-drop" location between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. (Rain date is Sept. 25.) Local radio stations WWGP and WFJA are also sponsoring the event.
Jan Hayes, the executive director of the United Way, recently told the story of a woman who came to last year's event to deliver food donated by her 102-year-old mother, and another contributor who unloaded numerous bags of food and personal care items, including 300 disposable baby diapers — another essential item distributed by nonprofit agencies.
"It's true that the economy has been improving a little bit in recent months, but that doesn't mean everyone is doing well," says Hayes. "Our local food banks and emergency pantries are still struggling to keep pace with all of the legitimate requests for help. This is a perfect way we can all work together to help our neighbors."
So make note of the dates, and plan to take part.

May 02, 2012 01:43:30 GMT
The 'Good Girl' singer performs for her fans at the Times Square, and will visit big cities across North America to continue promoting her new album starting this fall.
Carrie Underwood continues to celebrate the release of her new album "Blown Away". She came to "Good Morning America" earlier on Monday, May 1 for an exclusive interview, and then returned to the ABC morning show on Tuesday for live performances at the Times Square. Almost at the same time, she announced a number of dates for a promo tour.
The winner of "American Idol" season 4 rocked a black and white monochrome Rag & Bone jeans and tuxedo jacket at the gig. She finished off her look with a rhinestone necklace that spelled out the title of the new CD. She performed her new sassy single "Good Girl", another fresh material "Cupid's Got a Shotgun" and older song "Cowboy Casanova" among other tracks.
In a chat with Robin Roberts, she said, "It's such a fun, rocking song. I was lucky enough to be in the room and be a co-writer on the song. It was just all about having fun and showing some attitude. We, as ladies, have a lot of layers to us. We definitely have our good sides and our bad sides. So it was fun to kind of play off of that."
Talking about the three-year gap between previous album "Play On" and the new one, she gushed, "I just didn't want to do things the same way. It wasn't so much that I thought [doing that again] would be a bad thing, but I'm the kind of person who needs to switch things up and try new things and shake it up."
She continued elaborating her statement, "Things end up better when they're on the fly and a little unexpected. Everybody is on the edge of their seat, and they're ready for anything. So I changed the way I wrote. I changed the way I recorded, and I took a little time to miss it and, hopefully, for people to miss me a little, as well."
As for the tour, Underwood is going to kick off the North American leg in mid-September and bring Hunter Hayes as an opening act. "I can't wait to get back out on the road and perform new music from my new album for my fans," she gushed. "We have a lot of exciting things planned!" $1 from each ticket sold will be donated to Red Cross disaster relief.
Of what to expect, she said, "We're thinking of some really incredible things. Right now, we're in that imagination phase, and we're talking about all the things like, 'If there were no rules, no budget, no nothing, what would we want to do?' And then we're gonna get all that compiled and see what's possible. But I think we'll top it for sure."
In addition to the "GMA" gig and the roadshow, Underwood has a live-streaming concert at iHeartRadio. She will then head west to Los Angeles to perform on "Idol" on May 3, visit "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on May 9, go to "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on May 10, sing on "Dancing with the Stars" on May 15, and rock Billboard Music Awards live from Las Vegas on May 20.

Our next-door office pals, United for a Fair Economy, just held a brown bag lunch meeting with some of the folks who staged the worker takeover at Republic Windows and Doors last December (see our earlier coverage here).
It's quite possible that this action will mark a turning point in labor activism in this country. If not, it will surely mark a missed opportunity.
The shop workers, all members of the United Electrical union, took over the Chicago factory on December 5, 2008 after the workers realized that the owner was moving equipment. In violation of the WARN Act, the company only gave the workers a few days notice of their termination, and failed to compensate them for sick time and other benefits that were legally due to them.
Originally the workers had only anticipated to take over the factory for a short time, fully expecting to be arrested by the police. Instead, the takeover quickly snowballed into an international media story. By focusing on Bank of America (Republic's lender, and the recent recipient of $25 billion in taxpayer bailout funds) they tapped into growing resentment at corporate greed and mismanagement at a time of massive layoffs and rising unemployment. Although B of A maintained that they had no legal obligation to pay for the lost benefits and wages due the workers, they ultimately submitted to the pressure generated by national protests, unrelenting media coverage, and broad political pressure from the local city representatives all the way to then-President-elect Obama. Ten days after the workers took over the factory, Bank of America gave in and created a $1.75 million fund to compensate the workers.
The factory's former owners, meanwhile, are being investigated for possible illegal action for attempting to remove the company's assets after it had declared bankruptcy.
At today's round table talk, union reps say that the workers discussed the possibility of taking over the company themselves. However, given a combination of a grim economic climate for home building supplies, and the massive start-up costs that would be needed to get the factory running and profitable, this had to be set aside. The union is currently encouraging other private buyers, especially those that would be willing to retool the factory with "greener" jobs.
The former workers reported that most of them remain unemployed, and many suspect that other employers are leery of hiring them because of their union history.
Some thoughts:
The country is facing a massive wave of company bankruptcies and there are doubtless countless similar cases of workers getting ripped off. What's remarkable about this is that the workers were in a union, fought back, and won.
The RW&D victory has brought renewed attention to both the existence of the WARN law, as well as the fact that it is toothless and routinely violated. In direct response, several state governments are toughening up their related labor laws (including New York), and the Obama administration is working on toughening up the law.
The success of the RW&D workers highlights the need for workers to organize collectively, and to think beyond simply claiming their legal rights. Bank of America probably would have gotten away with passing the (missing) buck to the bankrupt factory owner. But the government bailout funds give labor and lawmakers new openings to exert pressure on the controllers of corporate capital. Parts of the media and the general public are also open to a labor-centered focus on workers rights and corporate responsibility for our current economic mess.
The early signs from the Obama administration are encouraging. This is hardly a guarantee of future success, but is certainly opens the door for labor to raise the stakes.

Consumers have become increasingly aware of hair damage caused by chemical processes, heat styling and environmental factors. In addition to healthy, shiny, smooth and silky hair, both men and women look for protection against split ends and breakage, along with greater strength and resilience.
Many women believe they have damaged hair, and products that make hair-strengthening claims have caught the attention of these consumers. Silicones hold promise for providing hair-strengthening benefits, especially in products designed for damaged or ethnic hair.
A New Role for Silicones
A variety of silicone materials are recognized for their sensory and functional benefits in hair care products. Initially incorporated into formulations for their conditioning properties, silicones also provide shine, aid color retention and protect against heat damage from curling irons and blow dryers.
In the study described in this article, a method was developed to determine whether silicones could also provide strengthening properties to hair, helping to counteract potentially damaging treatments. In combination with the other multifunctional properties of silicones, hair strengthening would offer additional consumer benefits from individual products.
The hair care industry has responded to these market needs, and a number of commercially available products incorporate organic ingredients traditionally used to strengthen or repair hair. These typically include various wheat, soy or hydrolyzed vegetable proteins. Another conventional ingredient, panthenol, is claimed to provide hair strengthening as well as some degree of conditioning.

Taking Care of Your Diabetes When You Are Away From Home
Dealing With Holidays
- Stick to a healthy diet—one that is high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and low in fat and calories. If you continue to follow your meal plan, you'll be less likely to overindulge.
- Keep track of carbohydrates, which can be found in many types of food, like starchy foods (eg, potatoes, bread, pasta), as well as milk and fruits and veggies. Be mindful of carbs because the body breaks them down and turns them into glucose, causing your blood glucose levels to rise.
- If you are invited to a holiday party, ask if you can bring something, like a carb-free drink or a low-cal dessert. Right before going to the party, avoid hunger pains by having a snack and a glass of water. This way you will not be ravenous and ready to dig into all the sweets. Once you are there, place a few different types of food (in small portions) on your plate, rather than sampling every dish.
- Alcohol is always in abundance at parties. If you are going to have a drink, do so when you are eating (not on an empty stomach) and only in moderation. This means one drink if you are a woman, and two drinks if you are a man. For some people with diabetes, it is unsafe to drink alcohol because it can lead to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Ask your doctor what is safe for you.

Why are men, like other primate males, usually the aggressors and risk takers? Why do women typically have fewer sexual partners? Why is killing infants routine in some cultures, but forbidden in others? Why is incest everywhere taboo? Bobbi Low ranges from ancient Rome to modern America, from the Amazon to the Arctic, and from single-celled organisms to international politics to show that these and many other questions about human behavior largely come down to evolution and sex. More precisely, as she shows in this uniquely comprehensive and accessible survey of behavioral and evolutionary ecology, they come down to the basic principle that all organisms evolved to maximize their reproductive success and seek resources to do so.
Low begins by reviewing the fundamental arguments and assumptions of behavioral ecology: selfish genes, conflicts of interest, and the tendency for sexes to reproduce through different behaviors. She explains why in primate species--from chimpanzees and apes to humans--males seek to spread their genes by devoting extraordinary efforts to finding mates, while females find it profitable to expend more effort on parenting. Low illustrates these sexual differences among humans by showing that in places as diverse as the parishes of nineteenth-century Sweden, the villages of seventeenth-century China, and the forests of twentieth-century Brazil, men have tended to seek power and resources, from cattle to money, to attract mates, while women have sought a secure environment for raising children. She makes it clear, however, they have not done so simply through individual efforts or in a vacuum, but that men and women act in complex ways that involve cooperation and coalition building and that are shaped by culture, technology, tradition, and the availability of resources. Low also considers how the evolutionary drive to acquire resources leads to environmental degradation and warfare and asks whether our behavior could be channeled in more constructive ways.
"Low marshals a compelling array of Darwinian arguments to bolster the importance of biological sex in everyday human interaction. . . .The breadth of materials which Low musters to support her argument plumbs every nook and cranny of human and animal existence. . . .Her analysis remains readable and provocative to the end."--Kirkus Reviews
"A useful survey of what is known about behavioral sex differences in animals and humans, covering biology, anthropology, sociology and history. It is clear and informative."--Colin McGinn, The New York Times Book Review
"An excellent . . . analysis of the most fundamental aspects of human life--sex, violence, power--through an evolutionary lens."--Cathy Young, Detroit News
"A comprehensive survey of behavioral and evolutionary ecology. . . .Why Sex Matters should interest a broad range of readers because it attempts to explain human nature."--Choice
"A very thorough review of the current state of the art human behavioral biology."--Craig B. Stanford, American Scientist
"An excellent example of how evolutionary theory can be applied to human behavior without hyperbole."--Ian Penton-Voak, Times Higher Education Supplement
"Deftly written. . . A very thorough review of the current state of the art of human behavioral biology."--Craig B. Stanford, American Scientist
"A broad-ranging and well-researched look at the way biology continues to affect men and women."--Sally Squires, Washington Post Book World
"Low makes clear why sex matters. Indeed, her book makes clear why a human sociobiology matters. Why Sex Matters matters."--Jeffrey A. Kurland, American Journal of Human Biology

1 cup
uncooked white rice
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 (10 ounce) package
frozen green bell peppers and onions
1 (15 ounce) can
black beans, undrained
1 (10 ounce) can
enchilada sauce
Loved it! I used fresh peppers & onions vs. frozen and added chopped fresh cilantro as well. I also used "Red Enchilada Sauce" (from this site). Tasty wrapped with a warm tortilla, or plain with cheese on top. A keeper, thanks Jaime!!
I liked the recipe, but it seemed to be missing something for me. I added a can of corn and a can of diced tomatoes with it.

Is it possible to use fresh instead of frozen green bell peppers and onions? YES!
delicious and so easy to make. I don't like peppers or onions so instead I added some canned corn. It was very flavorful- I think the kind of enchilada sauce used might make the difference. I used old el paso "hot" enchilada sauce. I still cant believe how easy it was.
Hmmmm...I really wanted to rate this higher, but the recipe made as written, in my opinion just did not have enough flavor. I used fresh veggies and sauteed them in olive oil. I had to add quite a bit of salt to acheive the flavor I like, and I served this in a warmed tortilla with shredded cheese like the previous reviewer suggested. I used store bought enchilada sauce, which I really like, but I'm wondering if I should have gone with homemade. I doubt it would have made that much of a difference. As far as being quick and inexpensive, it's deserving of all 5 stars, but the taste lacked something to be desired. I served this with picante sauce on the side. Maybe adding some more spices to the vegetables while their cooking would help. Glad I gave it a shot.
Suggestions: Saute rice in oil, add 1 package sazon and 2 tablespoon tomato (or the "red") sofrito, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro, 1 tsp chopped garlic, stir around for a minute then add liquid (preferably chicken broth). Keep an eye on it and when it starts to thicken up, add the "drained" and "rinsed" (very important) black beans.
Very easy and delicous recipe! I served it with the Cajun Spiced Chicken (also found on allrecipes.com)When I had put the sauce over the rice, I put cheddar chees on the top - very good!
5 stars with the following changes: One pot meal. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil w/ 1 Tbsp butter. Add 1 cup uncooked rice, 1/2 cup green peeper, 1/2 cup red onion, 1/2 of a jalapeno & 1 clove minced garlic. Saute for 2 min. Add 2 cups water, 1 tsp cumin and 1 tsp salt. Bring water to a boil, stir rice, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add 15 ounce can of black beans (drained and rinsed) and a 10 ounce can of green chili enchilada sauce. Let simmer 10 min. Serve with sour cream and mexican cheese blend.

It is important to keep your house clean and provide a safe environment to live in. This entails clean up of furniture in the entire house so that it lasts for a longer period of time. However, some areas in a house get dirty faster than others. The floor is usually a prone area in terms of its vulnerability to dirt. It is for this reason that several companies and professionals have come up to provide such services to clients. Carpet Cleaning Fremont offers the best services for your dirty mat. However, you can wash it yourself.
It is important to hire an expert who will wash the mat for you. This method increases its lifespan because washing is done in a professional manner. Make sure that you clean it at least twice a year. A vacuum cleaner can be used for this procedure especially to wash it more often. Remember that dirty mats are not hygienic and they cause diseases and allergies.
When one is doing the washing process on his or herself the things that are needed are detergent, a brush and water. This process however is not effective as the professional one. There are chances that you damage your mat and become very tired. This process is manual and if you have a big mat you will get tired for real. Knowledge is required while washing these mats. When doing it manually you should not use a lot of detergent. It will be difficult to rinse all the foam and that which will remain will be carrying some dirt.
Over wetting is another problem that occurs when you do the process manually. Most of the water settles at the bottom of rugs and drying it becomes very difficult.to dry it. Most mats shrink and tear apart. The dampness of the mat will also facilitate the growth of molds and bacteria which are harmful to kids and people.
Staining is also another risk that can be encountered by a person doing the washing by themselves. The people do not remove the all the furniture from the room and as many are made of wood. They have dyes and paints on them which can alter the color of your mat and make it look bad. Remove all the furniture before starting the washing process to avoid these occurrences.
There are certain machines and equipment used for this procedure. They are big and are used to dry extract dirt from your mat in a professional manner. These machines use pressure and moisture to wash them by pumping moisture into mats. These machines have special brushes to enhance counter movements. They counter move detergents through the rug to ensure they are clean.
This machine supplies enough liquid to dissolve all the dirt. It then reabsorbs the dirt and the liquid on a rug leaving it dry for vacuuming and immediate use. It leaves your mat clean and beautiful.
Most experts have solutions for carrying out the process. A person may have to pay an extra expense for this service but it is worth. Remember to hire Carpet cleaning Fremont has because of its reliability.

Conditions at Glen Parva young offenders' jail are 'deplorable'
Posted: February 17, 2010|
Conditions at a young offenders' jail have been condemned as "deplorable" by a prisons watchdog.
A report into Glen Parva Young Offenders' Institution has found some cell blocks built using prison labour in the 1970s are badly deteriorating and are in an unacceptable condition for both inmates and prison staff.
The prison's Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) has published its latest annual report on the 808-capacity prison.
It said serious improvements were needed.
The report, which has been sent to the Ministry of Justice and governor Michael Wood, said water from the prison's poorly-maintained toilet plumbing system leaked out of the pipes and seeped through the walls, causing "a horrible smell that fills the corridors and cells on regular occasions".
The report also said the prison for 18 to 21-year-olds "operates within the confines of a sprawling campus of largely shabby buildings" which "continue to degrade over time, despite the best efforts of the management and staff".
The IMB is made up of 14 volunteers, who visit the prison weekly.
Board member John Schatz said poor conditions could undermine staff efforts to keep order in the overcrowded prison. He said: "Deplorable is the only word for some of the conditions. Some people might well say 'So what? They are criminals, why does it matter what conditions they live in?'
"But the sentence for any crime is the deprivation of liberty and beyond that prisoners need to be treated appropriately.
"We must remember we are dealing with volatile young men and if they live in poor conditions there is increased potential for disorder."
The board also warned the policy of transferring prisoners into Glen Parva from other regions "has recently introduced an increasing level of gang rivalry, thereby adding yet another dimension to an already toxic melting pot".
Mr Schatz said: "We are not suggesting the staff cannot keep control. They are highly-motivated and handle the volatility very well. But they are working in very difficult conditions."
The IMB raised concerns about poor quality and quantity of food, long delays for dental treatment and that few were assessed for release on licence for community work.
At the moment, the prison holds inmates serving sentences of up to four years.
The Government, however, is planning a £70m expansion with new buildings for prisoners aged 15 to 17, who would be kept separate from older inmates.
Mr Wood said: "I accept some accommodation requires refurbishment. The prison's estates department work tirelessly to maintain conditions to a satisfactory level.
"All cells are certified as fit for purpose and any considered not to be are taken out of commission."

Nespresso Headquarters, Milan
Wednesday 13 Mar 2013
London based architects MWAI has completed the refurbishment and fit out of Nespresso's headquarters in Milan after winning an invited competition set up by the successful coffee company to find a practice that could design and deliver high-end office space in a 1940s mixed-use building in the heart of Milan.
MWAI's design includes offices, meeting rooms, a call centre and training area. The brand colours, white and brown, are incorporated throughout the design to reflect Nespresso's corporate identity and imagery as well as to provide a sophisticated but unpretentious interior.
Nespresso's headquarters are located in the Palazzo Donini building designed by a group of famous Italian architects that included Gio Ponti. The brief called for a modern and stylish design that would not only reflect the company's corporate identity, but also a design that would provide a practical work place for staff. The project was designed to a fixed budget and run on a tight 9 month programme. The brief required 1,200 m2 of office space for 140 employees which includes; 10 Directors offices, workspace for 90 staff, a call centre for 40 staff, 4 meeting rooms, 1 conference and training room, 2 kitchens and breakout areas.
MWAI worked alongside Nespresso's Directors and the marketing department to ensure the project was successfully delivered. Nespresso's brand identity is translated into an interesting and individual work environment by using calm colours, framed glass and lacquered wood creating a warm feeling throughout. The
corporate image is further integrated with marketing images hung throughout the reception area and at the end of corridors to create interesting focal points.
Clients and visitors are welcomed at reception and invited to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere with comfortable seats positioned around the fireplace which was designed with reference to Italian artist Giovanni Piranesi's engravings.
A design library is a key feature of the reception area and is home to a range of books and objects relating to the history of coffee. Classic modern chairs and sofas by Knoll have been selected to emphasise the relaxed but formal nature of the space. The furniture and light fittings are coordinated throughout to create a harmonic experience within the space. Ancillary rooms are dressed in bolder colours to recall the Nespresso capsules.
The new Director's offices are designed into glass volumes with solid wooden doors and are used to divide the open plan space, create visual focal points and help illuminate the corridors. All cupboards are bespoke and the handle details are used to create a rhythm along the corridors.
