Can Gum Disease Make Conceiving More Difficult?Wednesday, November 9th, 2011
Are you or a loved one trying to get pregnant? Then you'll definitely want to read on…
ScienceDaily.com reports that at the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology Professor Roger Hart stated the gum disease has as much a negative impact on trying to conceive as obesity. As we've previously stated, gum disease in pregnant women (or "pregnancy gingivitis") can result in a premature birth.
Periodontal disease (gum disease) has been linked with many types of illness: respiratory and kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, heart disease. However, this new report says that having gum disease prior to conception may make trying to get pregnant that much more difficult.
Professor Hart is the Professor of Reproductive Medicine at the University of Western Australia in Perth and Medical Director of Fertility Specialists of Western Australia. He stated, "Until now, there have been no published studies that investigate whether gum disease can affect a woman's chance of conceiving, so this is the first report to suggest that gum disease might be one of several factors that could be modified to improve the chances of pregnancy."

Annually consumers spend big money on natual skin care products that promise amazing results. Often those products contain chemicals or ingredients which aren't natural and may cause irritation towards the skin. Coconut oil, conversely, is a-natural product which has numerous health benefits for that face and skin. It can be inexpensive and perfect for all those skin tones.
What Makes Coconut Oil So Amazing?
Coconut oil is really a natural oil that comes from the meat of mature coconut palm. Once extracted, the oil is abundant in antioxidants which have many healthy benefits for your body, both in and out. When ingested it is shown to help with digestion, reduce cholesterol, and boost metabolisms. When it comes to skin care, coconut oil works extremely well as opposed to your daily moisturizer, being a face cleaner, plus an anti-anti wrinkle cream.
Replace Your Everyday Moisturizer
There are many different types of moisturizers available on the market for every type of skin. Generally, these moisturizers are typically water based, which is the reason the consequences in many cases are over quickly. Coconut oil is an excellent natural moisturizer. It really is easily absorbed by the skin, and keeps it soft and glowing all day. Additionally, it contains antioxidants that protect skin from sagging and wrinkles that are included with age. For more mature skin, coconut oil will smooth existing wrinkles and lines, providing you with an even more youthful appearance.
– Scoop a tiny bit of coconut oil in your palm.
-Allow your body temperature to soften the item.
– Massage the softened oil into skin until it is absorbed well.
As a Facial Cleanser
It may look like like a contradiction, but coconut oil will remove make-up, dirt, and excess oil from your skin. While it's an oil, natural properties which might be present cleanse your skin without over drying. Even those people who are prone
to ache can use this product with great outcomes. Natural anti-fungal and antioxidants found in coconut oil will eliminate and heal skin problems including ache and eczema.
– Gently massage coconut oil into skin
– Take a warm, wet towel and place over skin for a few seconds
– Gently wipe excess oil from skin.
As a possible Anti- Anti Wrinkle Cream
People want to hold wrinkles from exploding as long as possible. Research has shown that utilizing a moisturizer that contains antioxidants will help eliminate which will help prevent wrinkles and lines. Coconut oil contains these natural
antioxidants and could be used daily in place of your normal anti-wrinkle cream.
– Before going to bed apply a tiny bit of oil all over the face and neck, or to problem areas around under and around eyes.
– Wait half a minute for product to absorb.
– Pat skin using a clean, dry towel to softly remove any excess oil
– Leave available instantly.
One of the best things about using natural coconut oil for skincare, is that you may personalize your skin layer care regime in order to get amazing results.
Coconut oil can without danger be blended with other certified organic oils to produce the ideal combination for the particular type of skin.
For Dried-out Skin:
As we know already, coconut oil is really a natural moisturizer itself. Generally, those that have dried-out skin will quickly realize regular use of coconut oil as being a solution is likely to make every one of the difference in the world. If you have extremely dry, flaky skin, Avocado or Geranium oil can be included to coconut oil as additional moisturizers. Furthermore, the excess vitamins found in these oils will help nourish your skin layer.
-Mix equal areas of coconut oil with selecting Avocado, or Geranium essential oil.
– Gently apply mixture to skin in a circular motion.
– Permit the mixture to set on skin for approximately half a minute.
– Utilizing a clean, warm towel, gently remove excess oil.
For Shiny Skin:
If you suffer an over-production of oil, you could still take advantage of using coconut oil being a face cleaner. Cleansers with chemicals often strip skin completely of moisture. Therefore, your body over compensates by producing more oil to replace that which was lost. When used regularly being a cleanser, coconut oil will slow the creation of oil. If you realise if you use it alone it leaves your skin layer a little too oily, try adding grape seed or natural frankincense oil towards the mix. Both behave as an all-natural astringent that will aid remove oil, without over drying your skin.
– Cleanse your skin layer with Coconut oil as directed above.
– After your skin layer is dry, add 2-3 drops of either grape seed or natural frankincense to a cotton ball
– Gently use the oil towards the skin and enable to air dry.
– Should you injure yourself, make use of a clean cotton swab to eliminate any excess.
For Acne Prone Skin:
Coconut oil has natural antioxidants and anti-fungal properties that really help reduce acne. For particularly troublesome ache that simply refuses to go away, you can boost those properties by having tea tree or jojoba oil. Natural antiseptic found in these oils will help eliminate troublesome acne, and stop it from reoccurring.
– Add 2-3 drops of either tea tree or jojoba oil to coconut oil.
– Gently affect skin using circular motions.
– Make use of a warm, wet washcloth to remove.
– Gently pat skin dry.
Where can you purchase it?
Coconut oil is currently incredibly easy to purchase. There are several places to purchase it online, or find it within the oil part of your grocery store. The true secret to deciding on the best coconut oil, is always to choose engineered to be as near towards the natural state as possible. Get a product which is called "Extra-virgin" or "Unrefined" prior to buying. Which means that it has not been processed possesses the greatest quantity of beneficial properties.
You are able to have amazing skin without spending a fortune on goods that simply don't work. Coconut oil is-natural, so that it is healthier for the skin. Additionally it is inexpensive to acquire, and will save you money by replacing a lot of the products you normally buy separately. Whatever sort of skin you've got, coconut oil is safe and effective to utilize.

A sci-fi thriller that asks the questions…
What makes us human…
What makes us unique…
And what makes us kill?
Ten years ago, Stefan Korsak's younger brother was kidnapped. Not a day has passed that Stefan hasn't thought about him. As a rising figure in the Russian mafia, he has finally found him. But when he rescues Lukas, he must confront a terrible truth-his brother is no longer his brother. He is a trained, genetically-altered killer. Now, those who created him will do anything to reclaim him. And the closer Stefan grows to his brother, the more he realizes that saving Lukas may be easier than surviving him…

Your popular Cal Leandros and Trickster novels are both urban fantasy series, but Chimera is a science fiction novel. What drew you to write this different kind of story? Did you discover any new challenges in writing science fiction?
I'd always been very fond of Dean Koontz's older novels, especially Lightning and the Watchers. I actually didn't consider them science fiction as they were set in their current time period with only the addition of (spoilers) genetic manipulation and time travel (and the time travel was particularly ingenious as it was time travel that originated in the past, not the current time period of the book.) So when people say science fiction in regards to Chimera, I have visions of hard-core sci-fi fans chasing me down and beating me with their beloved, yellowed and worn copies of Dune.
I think the label science fiction when combined with action-thriller does cover Chimera best as it, too, is set in the current time period and the advanced technology is possessed only by the antagonist (and isn't that always the way? The bad guys get all the good toys.) And I'm drawn to write in nearly all genres…except romance. I can write an epic fight scene in a half hour and spend six hours trying to write one kiss. I'm hopelessly challenged in the romance department. That might be why I don't have a date this weekend (grin.)
Chimera is about the genetic alteration and brain washing of humans, and one of the novel's epigraphs, from philosopher Blaise Paschal, talks about mankind as "a novelty," "a monster," and "a chaos." What can fans expect to find in this sci-fi thriller?
All that and more. It shows how an ordinary man can be far worse than an enhanced human designed for killing and nothing but killing—that what we are counts for much less than who we are and who we choose to be. In a way, this book's theme is the opposite of The Cal Leandros Novels in which the main character is dragged down by his genes. In Chimera we see someone who rises above his manipulated genes.
Chimera has been praised as a "touching story on the nature of family, trust, and love" (Publishers Weekly) as well as being an action-packed read. Did you set out to delve into the nature of family when writing Chimera, and what related issues do you think are examined in this novel?
It's rare that I don't delve into the issues of family. I have no brothers or sisters, which makes those relationships a curiosity to me. And, of course, because I don't have siblings, I tend to put the best spin possible on what lies between them. If I actually had a brother who tortured me with wedgies and whatnot, I doubt I'd find that relationship so interesting.
Your novels are known for their snarky and sometimes sardonic main characters, who don't hesitate to share their every opinion. How much of your own personality comes through in your characters?
I once had a fan ask me how to write sarcasm or snark. I was at a loss. If you aren't by your very nature sarcastic, I'm not sure you could write it. I believe it to be inherent (pity those about me), not learned, but I could be wrong. While my snark may come through the main characters clearly, that doesn't mean we share the same opinion…it only means I find the appropriate sarcasm to slot into a particular situation an unwilling member of the Russian Mafia might face when forced to play miniature golf with a newly rescued, assassin-trained brother. The snark is mine; the opinions are theirs.
Who are the authors who have most influenced your own writing? Are they mostly science fiction and fantasy writers, or do you enjoy reading in other genres as well?
Stephen King (horror, horror/fantasy), Peter Straub (horror), Steven Brust (fantasy)—I love his Jhereg series and he has a fantastic 'voice', Robert Crais (mystery)—Elvis Cole series, Harlan Coben (mystery.)
Are you considering writing more novels in the Chimera universe? What do you imagine lies ahead for Stefan Korsak?
There's definitely quite a huge project for him should he choose to take it on, but the novel can stand alone as well. I also have another book, half-finished, set in the Chimera universe but with different characters and different situations altogether—linked in a very unusual way through one minor character from Chimera. It's interesting to see how one minor character can almost ruin the lives of people in not one but two books and do if quite gleefully.
What project are you diving into now? Can you share some hints about the novels you're writing next?
I just finished writing Blackout, book six in the Cal Leandros Novels, and it should be out next year around March. Everyone is making a mad rush to YA, so I have to think should I attempt one of those. I'd like to possibly do a direct sequel to Chimera (although, again, it stands perfectly well as a stand alone novel…no sequel necessary, simply fun to do.) It would be very intriguing for Stefan to come up with a plan to save the day—and a very bad day it would be. I do have my UF Trickster Novels series as well to contemplate continuing. Only two hands and so many balls to juggle.

Does anyone have any knowledge of what period are there scissors from and what is the other item called. They have marking at the other side with "Italy" and "L" at the other side.

A general rule of thumb is that anything with a country of origin marking post dates 1891, the year the American Trade law called the McKinley Act required items being exported to the USA carry country of origin marks. The USA being the largest market at the time European companies were very quick to comply. Your shears probably date from the first quarter of the 20th century. I can't tell from the image what the other piece is, but it's probably related to agricultural use, cutting grapes or olives would be my thought on it.

When you need cash, there's nothing like the temptation sitting in your retirement account — that stash of money that becomes all-too-available when you lose or quit your job. But withdrawing those savings can leave a deep scar on your future retirement income, according to a new report.
A hefty 35% of people who left their jobs last year cashed out their retirement savings rather than keeping their money in a tax-qualified retirement account, according to a new study by Fidelity Investments of the 12.5 million participants in the 401(k) plans it administers — and those findings are echoed by previous studies from other sources. (Note that just 806,000, or 6.5%, of that total number of plan participants ended their job in the January through September period studied by Fidelity.)
There's no doubt that taking the cash is a financial necessity for some people, and it's not surprising that the practice is more prevalent among those with lower incomes than among those who make more: 50% of those earning $20,000 to $30,000 cashed out in 2013, versus 13% of those earning $100,000 or more, according to Fidelity.
Younger savers are also more prone to the practice: 44% of those aged 20 to 29 cashed out, compared with 26% of those 50 to 59, the report said.
But anyone who doesn't absolutely need the cash should think long and hard before grabbing that money to spend on stuff now. Generally, you'll play income taxes and a 10% penalty for pulling out the money early. Plus, your long-term savings will take a hit. Read: 8 secrets of success from early retirees.
A hit to retirement income
Fidelity offered this hypothetical example: A 30-year-old who cashes out an account worth $16,000 would owe about $3,200 in taxes plus $1,600 in penalties — meaning he takes home only $11,200.
Investing with your conscience
Michael Casey and Christina M. Alfonso discuss "impact investing," and Rachel Feintzeig looks at why companies are hunting for employees who are known as influencers.
Even more worrisome: If he takes that money out of his retirement savings, his future retirement income would drop an estimated $470 a month (in today's dollars, assuming a real return of 4.7% and assuming he retires at 67 and dies at 93), according to Fidelity's analysis.
A separate study found that people who cash out their plan could see their retirement income reduced by anywhere from 11% to 67%. That's according to a projection by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, for a 2011 study of more than 1.8 million workers by consulting firm Aon Hewitt. (The projection varies based on how many different jobs the worker ends up in, and whether the new plans use automatic enrollment, among other factors.) Read the report here.
The Aon Hewitt report found that a whopping 42% of workers who left their jobs in 2010 cashed out of their retirement plan, with that percentage rising to 53% among workers age 20 to 29, and dropping to 32% for workers aged 50 to 64.
A Vanguard report in June 2013 found that 31% of 401(k) plan participants who left their job in 2012 cashed out at least part of their savings. That was up from 29% in 2007. Read the Vanguard report here.
"Given the ongoing uncertainties in the employment market, we anticipate an increase in cash-outs in the near term, under the assumption that plan savings are sometimes used as a personal form of unemployment insurance," the Vanguard report said.
Don't rush
If nothing else, if you're leaving a job, at least take some time before making a decision relative to your retirement funds. Generally, you can let your 401(k) savings sit in your former employer's plan.
"They probably shouldn't look at touching their 401(k) from Day One. Some people go into that quickly. They may not understand all of the implications," said Beth McHugh, vice president of market insights at Fidelity Investments.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate reporter
In the last two weeks advocates for regulating smoking at outdoor events in the county have been approaching county and city government officials in the area, asking for support of their cause.
"Last year we performed some surveys that were developed by the Utah Department of Health of 234 community members on how they felt about limiting smoking at these kinds of events," explained April Durrant, Director of the Local Interagency Council to the Carbon County Commission on Jan. 21. "We also did some observations during events around the county and found a lot of people are being exposed to second-hand smoke as well."
Surprisingly, the surveys gathered so far strongly support putting in areas at sporting events and other types of activities where tobacco users can practice their habits without bothering anyone.
"Interestingly, that support came from across the board by non-smokers and even the smokers themselves, "said Durrant.
Georgina Nowak, from the Southeastern Utah Health District also spoke and told the commission that the department has been given the duty to study and work on policy and environmental issues concerning controlling smoking in public areas.
The commission had a discussion about the problems involved in creating a smoke free environment and were concerned about enforcement because the issue affects some private venues as well as public ones. They were concerned about the rights of people and the problems with making areas smoke free.
At the Price City Council meeting on Jan. 28, similar questions arose from council members.
"Would you be looking for ordinances or policy statements to accomplish this?" asked Price Councilman Richard Tatton.
When governments pass policies the enforcement of those policies works in a more mild manner than when an ordinance is passed. Ordinance is law, and that means law enforcement officials must be involved.
It also means money must be employed to enforce new ruling.
"The problem with this kind of thing is that when other agencies want ordinances passed it becomes like an unfunded mandate because there is no money available to pay for enforcement," Mayor Joe Piccolo told the pair. He also wondered about what precedents have been set for creating smoking areas for outdoor events or banning smoking from them altogether.
"The fact is that there is precedent for going smoke free," explained Nowak. "Clinton (in Davis County) has gone totally smoke free and California has made all public events smoke free as well."
During the county commission meeting, Carbon County Sheriff James Cordova pointed out that the issue also affects property rights and what can and can't be done on non-public property.
"I wonder if this will create a public versus private enforcement problem," he said.
Commissioner Steve Burge asked about other tobacco use as well.
"I see this is about all tobacco use, but how do we justify going after people for chewing if they aren't spitting it out," referring to the fact that there is no second-hand smoke problem with those who use chew. "But I see this very doable for the ballparks and the fairgrounds. In Park City during the Olympics they had people in town pointing out places in a very friendly way where people could smoke."
The report that Nowak and Durrant presented to the two ruling bodies was small but comprehensive in what it reported. Based on information that comes from the state, the report says that in 2000 Carbon County was second in the state in tobacco use amongst teens, with 21.4 percent of youth using tobacco.
The area also has the highest asthma rates in the state for children under age 17.
Yet almost 90 percent of students in junior high and high school kids know that smoking is bad for them.
A number of factors influence youth to smoke, including peer pressure.
However the report states that overall only five percent of students in junior high and high school believe that smoking makes people look cool, but amongst smokers the rate of belief in the habit is much higher with 25 percent of high school and 40 percent of junior high students thinking it makes a positive difference in their image.
"The fact is that the younger people are when they start using tobacco, the more likely they are to become addicted," stated Durrant.
The actual Carbon surveys, while only few in number considering the total population in the county, showed some interesting trends.
While banning smoking and chew entirely from events was not met with favor in tobacco using circles, limiting places where people can smoke was given a good a review by almost everyone.
Around 40 percent of non-users said they would like designated smoking areas at rodeos, parks and other outdoor sports facilities while there was actually a slightly higher percentage of present users that preferred it.
Among former tobacco users, the support for designated spots was the highest, with around 55 percent wanting the change.
"We plan to continue to do these surveys to get a bigger sample," Durrant told both the council and the commission. "We just want some support on developing policies that will contribute to good health in our community."

Any proud new owner of a BlackBerry Z10 is probably facing the same dilemma – having one of the newest phones on the market can make finding compatible accessories hard. Good thing, then that leading case maker OtterBox is already making fun new gadgets and accessories for BlackBerry Z10.
Just in at Pure Mobile, one of the most popular OtterBox carrying cases, the Defender, has arrived for Blackberry's first all-touch phone. The Defender is already among one of the top cases for both iPhone and Android devices, like the Galaxy S3. But, with the celebrated arrival of the new Z10, it only made sense for OtterBox to start making Blackberry carrying cases that offer the same level of protection.
As with the Defender models for other phones, this rugged accessory combines multiple layers for ultimate device protection, including a high-quality polycarbonate shell, a shock-absorbing silicone skin, and a clear screen protector.
And, for no-fuss carrying, this super resilient OtterBox case also comes with a ratcheting belt holster that makes it easy to clip your phone someplace handy.
To be sure, it's always harder to find accessories when you've got the latest handset. And you probably won't find as wide of a selection of Blackberry Z10 covers and skins as you would carrying cases for iPhone or other devices that have been around longer. But at least the first Z10 accessories out there are bound to be the high quality stuff, as is the case with OtterBox's Defender.
Well-conceived and well-built, it's surprisingly slim and always reliable. And for protection from dust, drops, bumps and shocks, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better BlackBerry carrying case than the OtterBox Defender for Z10.

Property Information:
One of Koh Phangan's best-loved hostels for backpackers – run by like-minded, friendly Koh Phanganers (including Brit & Kiwi owners Karen & Tristan) who loved it so much they didn't want to go home ;) Come stay with us, drink with us, chill out with us and rave on long into the night, all while being sure you'll get an excellent night's sleep in one of our bright, airy and spacious dorm or private rooms. This is an uber-friendly, sociable hostel, but it's pretty big, so noise is never an issue when it all gets too much and you really just want to s.t.o.p ……….
Choose from our range of comfortable, whistle-clean rooms: We've got six-bed dorms (including one female-only), double private rooms and a private twin room. All rooms (including dorms) are air-conditioned, and have their own private bathroom with hot water shower plus private balcony (either sea or jungle view). We also have a cheaper basic six-bed fan dorm on ground level, which also has its own private bathroom with cold water shower - be aware there's not too much room in here, but it's a pretty awesome choice if you really want to save your baht!
We also have…………………………………………………………………………………………………
1)One of the best hostel party atmospheres on the island!
2)Scooter hire – includes free lesson on the back roads if you haven't ridden before!
3)Friendly and knowledgeable staff who can tell you where to go on them!
4)Onward travel tickets (yeah, yeah – like you wanna leave us!).
5)Strong, cheap drinks at the bar, including Tristan's very own 'Dirty Bucket' - and 5 other 'Baan Tai 'Designer' Buckets to knock your block off!
6)Comfy and spacious lounge room to get drunk and silly in (don't forget to sign our walls!), and also chill out in with a movie - or just borrow a book from our shelf!
7)Secure lockers to use for free!
8)Free WiFi all through the building and in every room!
9)The knowledge you're secure…. CCTV all through the building!
10) All-Day breakfasts from 10am - 5pm!
Come stay with us and enjoy Koh Phangan to the max
If you're looking to party, Baan Tai is arguably the better spot to be on the island! We're within walking distance/a very short taxi ride – 5 mins – to the HALF MOON, JUNGLE EXPERIENCE, MAYA, SHIVA MOON and BLACK MOON parties in the Baan Tai jungles, as well as within walking distance to the weekly LOI LAY FLOATING BAR PARTY every Sunday!
Haad Rin is where the Full Moon Party takes place; we are a 15 minute drive away to the Full Moon Party beach via taxi, and the ride will cost you just 100 baht.
We like to have fun at the hostel, and have a great, comfy and spacious lounge room with a fully-stocked bar that's perfect for both pre-parties and chilling out on those hazy days afterwards!
Koh Phangan is famous for its parties, but also has a bucketload of other reasons to prolong your stay beyond Full Moon or Half Moon. Rent a scooter from us and explore at your own pace (everything from waterfalls, unspoilt jungle interior, countless beautiful beaches and special hidden gems), or go jet-ski-ing, zip-lining, elephant trekking, boat-tripping, or try a Muay Thai class and even a sushi-making class at the restaurant next door… the list is endless!! We want you to have the best experience possible, so if there's anything you want to do but don't know about, then please ask us!
PLEASE NOTE: All bookings over full moon (any month) and peak season (December - March) will require a room deposit made to us via paypal equal to your first two nights' stay. We will email you once your booking comes through with our paypal details. Deposits to us must be received two weeks before your arrival at the latest (or within 48 hours in the case of last minute bookings), and will be deducted from your final balance owing to us on arrival. If deposit payments aren't received, or you do not respond to our emails by this time, your booking will be cancelled.
You must also contact us if you're going to be a day late! Failure to turn up will result in loss of booking and deposit, no exceptions! If you're going to be arriving very early in the morning (off the night boat blinking into the daylight at 6am-ish!) – OR very late at night, then please tell us.
We have no credit card machine on site, so all payments must be made to us in cash. There's an ATM machine just a two minute walk away from us outside the 7-11. Thank you so much for your co-operation.
All over the age of 18 are welcome, but please be aware that we do cater to a younger crowd (usually under 35s) who like to party (including in the hostel lounge room for pre-parties), and who might also be returning home a little drunk at night-time!

CANTON As students in St. Lawrence Universitys Sullivan Student Center walked by with taco salads and pizza slices, Thomas B. Matt and Star-quana Jackson went hungry Friday afternoon to call attention to the plight of inmates in American prisons.
Mr. Matt, a sophomore, said six other students were joining him on a four-day hunger strike to protest the use of solitary confinement.
There are currently 80,000 American prisoners under solitary confinement, though technically its use is illegal per international law, he said. It can drive people insane. The purpose of putting people in prison is rehabilitation, but people are coming out worse off when they are released.
Mr. Matt cited a 2012 New York Civil Liberties Union report that said approximately 4,500 people, or 8 percent of the entire New York prison population, are locked down for 23 hours each day in isolation cells. Upstate Correctional Facility in Malone repeatedly was cited within the report for extensive use of solitary confinement.
John M. Collins, chairman of St. Lawrence Universitys department of global studies, said the truncated hunger strike succeeds in grabbing students attention.
This has never been a campus up to its neck in political activism, he said. I think their message, that this issue is important and it deserves our attention, gets through. Prisoners are human beings, so this is a human rights issue.
Ms. Jackson said the practice of putting people in solitary confinement occurs at prisons in the north country.
This is actually kind of a good place for this kind of protest. Not many students know there are five prisons within a 30-mile radius of campus, she said. New York prisons have been criticized for using it as an arbitrary punishment.
Mr. Jackson said solitary confinement isnt used only on violent inmates, but also on people violating prison rules.
It could be something as benign as smoking in the wrong area or littering, she said, adding some inmates spend years or decades in solitary confinement.
Mr. Matt said the hunger strike was to call attention to the American prison system in general.
We want to make a powerful statement, he said. Most people dont know we have the highest incarceration rate in the world. Three million Americans, almost one in one hundred, are in prison, and most of them for nonviolent crimes.
Ms. Jackson said she also was protesting inequality in the justice system and drug laws in the United States.
Drugs need to be decriminalized, she said. If drugs were legal, we could have more rehabilitation programs and fewer people incarcerated.
She argues the proliferation of privately operated prisons has led to the development of a prison-industrial complex, where companies lobby lawmakers for more and stricter laws, thus increasing their business.
The students have set up tables in the student union, inviting community members to sign petitions supporting prisoners rights. Some of them also have taken vows of silence during the period. Today, at the conclusion of their hunger strike, they will deliver speeches at the Student Center on prisoners rights.
Mr. Matt said the students were inspired by a 6,600-prisoner hunger strike in Californias prison system.

Acquisition Techniques
Acquisition refers to the accurate placement of the target(s) in the field of view of a camera or the slit(s) or Integral Field Unit (IFU) of a spectrograph. The Gemini spectrographs often are designed with the option of very narrow slits to take advantage of the high quality images delivered by the telescope. The positioning of targets in such narrow slits, typically to one-tenth of the slit width, requires care. The basic procedures outlined below will provide the best slit centering possible given current telescope offsetting performance.
Targets Visible in the Instrument's Imaging Mode
The best slit centering is achieved when the target can be detected in modest (<1 min) acquisition images. For relatively bright targets, centering is fine-tuned by the observer and centering to better than 20% of the image FWHM is achieved.
Blind and Offset Acquisitions
When centering on the actual target is not possible, a reference star at an accurately known reference position is used instead. The telescope is slewed to the science target first, and guiding is started. The telescope is then 'offset' to the reference object, which is used for fine-tuning the slit centering. The offsets are then removed to return the telescope to the position of the science target.
The accuracy of such offsets decreases with increasing distance to the reference star, so it is important to choose the nearest reference star possible. The current offset accuracy is approximately 0.2 arcsec for a reference star 50 arcsec from the science target.
The Phase II Science Program must contain clear instructions on what the offsets are to the reference object. There are currently two ways to do this. The preferred way of specifying offsets to the reference object is to include accurate coordinates for the reference object stored as a "User" target (i.e. Tag=User in the Target component). The base position is the science target. It is essential that the the coordinates of the reference star be accurate and be in the same reference frame as the coordinates of the science target so that the telescope control system will determine accurate offsets between the two positions. Both coordinates must be specified in J2000.
With either method it is important that the relative offsets between the reference star and the faint target be very accurate. These offsets are best determined by measuring the positions of both objects on the same image with good relative astronometry. Then the coordinates of both objects, but at least the target, need to be put on the J2000 coordinate system. If the science target, reference star, or the guide star have proper motions then these should be entered in the Proper Motion tab.
No matter which method is used to specify reference object offsets, the wavefront sensor used for guiding must remain active during the offsets to the reference star. It is important to check that the guide star is accessible for both the science target and the reference star.
Offsetting to a reference object may also be helpful for brighter targets when the science target identification might be confused, as in crowded or complex fields. Additional information about complicated setups should be included in a Note in the OT file. This image shows an example of how the reference ("user") target is defined in the OT.
For mid-infrared observations using Michelle and T-ReCS, one additional step is needed to ensure that the object is properly aligned on the slit or to allow accurate absolute astrometry. Since reference objects bright enough to be visible at 10 to 20 microns are uncommon, the observer should add an observation of a mid-IR
astrometric star (the "hotspot" star, a mid-IR standard or other star brighter than ~4 mag at 10 microns with reliable coordinates) prior to the acquisition sequence. This star should be as close as practical to the science target, and certainly within a few degrees. The hotspot star is placed at the centre of the Acquisition Camera, and then
(known) offsets applied to move it to the Michelle or T-ReCS "hotspot" (i.e., to a location at or close to the instrument array centre but off-centre on the Acquisition Camera). An image is then taken with the mid-IR instrument to record the location of the star on the array. Next, the telescope is slewed to the User 1 star which is then moved onto the instrument hotspot. Once this star is accurately positioned on the hotspot (as judged by its position on the Acquisition Camera), the telescope is offset to the coordinates of the science target, which should then appear at the same position on the array as the bright 10 micron star.
The procedure is described in detail on the mid-IR astrometry web

Despite this, Waller engaged in a long exchange last week via phone and email (during his vacation in Hawaii), and finally, in person Saturday afternoon at an East Burnside coffeehouse. Happily, his mindset hasn't kept Waller from at last releasing Into the Dark Unknown, the long-anticipated follow-up album to 2005's masterful Troubled Times.
Waller's not exactly been idle in the interim. The Portland songwriter has been busy staging the show Into the Dark Unknown: The Hope Chest, which created most of the material collected on the new CD. He performed the show not only in Portland and Seattle (it was a joint commission of PICA and Seattle's On the Boards), but New York, Anchorage, San Francisco and foreign locales like Zagreb and Croatia (he plays exotic Bozeman, Mont., next month). Before that was another multimedia production, Patty (Heart) Townes, featuring Waller as an inebriated angel performing surprising, string-laden arrangements of songs by Townes Van Zandt and Patty Griffin.
Making a record was a more difficult process. Early passes at recording the new material featured a sparser instrumental approach than the lush sound of Waller's present release. A delicate early version of the title song posted online (recorded on my own KBOO radio show, thank you very much) drew unexpected interest from celebrated singer Antony Hegarty, who hipped others to Waller's work and even offered to help come up with a running order. "And I don't know what the hell my problem is," confesses Waller, "'cause, looking back, oh my god—what an opportunity that would have been to have him sequence the record."
But Waller's aforementioned ambivalence about bringing another collection to market—fueled by a skepticism of (and distaste for) the music industry—intervened. "I worked really hard making Troubled Times and then trying to self-release and promote it, and it got really good reviews, but sold maybe 2,000 copies. So I wasn't itching to jump into another vastly money-losing enterprise. And I was really excited by all the support I was getting and how much fun I was having, frankly, with other projects."
Waller digs in and lets loose: "It's like, here's this one world that's completely embracing me—not only embracing me, but funding me. I'd get these grants, I'd execute the work, I'd perform the work, promoters would promote it, audiences got to see it. Whereas in the music world, I make these albums, no labels express any interest, no one really avails themselves to show up to help do anything...There's this whole world of performing arts that's like, 'Yes, yes, come over here,' and then there's the music world which is, like, a bunch of assholes who I don't like anyway, and they drink and smoke and they're out of shape and just, like, reject me. And I thought, well, that's dumb, I don't want to sleep with these people anyway."
Eventually, though, with the help of his simpatico ensemble, the Healers—anchored by longtime friend and collaborator Ben Landsverk—Waller saw his way through to finishing Troubled Times' troubled follow-up. Audible on the record is the personal and musical growth that took place during the time it took to complete the project. The minimal but effective production touches of Times—tape manipulation, treated sounds and a soupcon of electronica that subtly evoke the lyrics' often bleak outlook, suggesting a porous boundary between the singer and the world outside him. By contrast, the new disc features a warmer, natural, live sound. (Indeed, four tracks are concert recordings, including two from the Doug Fir.) The voice, both literal and literary, is not as fragile. It sounds as though those boundaries have been repaired, and the healed artist can now focus his compassion—and his Healers—outward. Even if he doesn't feel like saying much.
SEE IT: Holcombe Waller releases Into the Dark Unknown on Sunday, Feb. 20, at Alberta Rose Theater. 7:30 pm. $20. All ages (minors must be accompanied by parent).

Go large in Las Vegas or hang out with Beyonce, using the power of YouTube UK
Has The Hangover inspired you to go wild in Las Vegas? Or maybe "I Am… Sasha Fierce" has made you yearn to meet the woman behind the Beyonce brand? If so, YouTube UK may be able to help.
If it's Vegas that's on your mind, then you should head over to the Hangover channel, where walking through the sordid detail of your finest nights out or sharing your remedies for the morning after could win you and a friend four nights in Caesar's Palace complete with a trip in a LVPD Police cruiser, the chance to witness a live Taser demonstration (!) and – provided you are of age – a private poker lesson.
Next up: Beyonce. In short, if you want to meet the diva who launched a thousand derrieres, you'll need to prove to the good people at Trident Unwrapped why you should be considered worthy. But bear in mind that you'll have to get past robsonfersantos first…
Good luck to everyone who enters. Just imagine: if you won both competitions, you could even end up escorting Sasha Fierce to Vegas. That's the stuff dreams are made of, people.
Have fun,
The YouTube Team

Deirdre Bundy, Psychology
Deirdre BundyPsychology Alumni
Creativity has always played a role in Deirdre Bundy's life. When she got an entry level job in the mental health field, she realized that the treatment center she was working for didn't have a Human Resources department – so she created one for them.
"That was 'organizational creativity,'" she explains. "But I didn't know that at the time."
She hadn't really thought about what creativity meant, or what it was, or how it impacted her life, when she decided to get her MA in psychology and advance her career. She came to Saybrook because she wanted to work full time while going to graduate school, and a favorite undergraduate professor had told her about Saybrook's humanistic approach to psychology.
"It was a good fit," she says.
After she enrolled, she was intrigued to discover Saybrook's creativity studies program – and that she could work with two of the leading experts in the field, Ruth Richards and Steve Pritzker.
"I started to look into it, and I looked at the opportunity of working with Ruth and Steve, and the more I looked into the literature and what it means, the more it sparked my interest," Deirdre says. "It was amazing."
Her thesis examined the way "20-something" has become a new stage of life in our culture, a unique period between adolescence and adulthood. "There's not much literature on this new stage of life, although a lot of popular accounts these days are talking about a 'quarter life crisis,'" she says. People are finding new ways to define their lives – and while some people are just flowing down stream, others are doing it with great creativity.
After graduating, Deirdre decided she wanted to work with kids looking for healthy ways to transition into their 20-somethings. She put her own creativity to use again, co-founding the "Little Ladies Sports Club" – a mentoring service for adolescent girls that combines one-on-one interactions with physical activities.
"I was at a crossroads in my life, and I was very ready to break out of the 9 to 5 work day and create my own schedule," she remembers. "My studies at Saybrook played a huge part in creating my business. I felt that I'd really been able to hone my ability to look at a situation or task from several different (and creative) angles. I also learned that all of these different ways are important and valuable to making something cohesive, like a mentoring program, possible."
She'll use her psychology degree to the fullest to support the girls in her program – and that will include teaching them to better understand, and value, their own creative impulses. Not just the artistic kind, but the kind that can lead someone to have better relationships, start a business, or create a human resources office after seeing the need.
"There's a common misperception that people either are or aren't creative, and most people think that they aren't," Deirdre says. "But in fact, whether it's finding a new way to work or making a sandwich, creativity is everywhere in our lives, and if we can learn to focus on that, anything's possible. Saybrook's program taught me that creativity is not only an academic discipline, with research and a whole field dedicated to it, but an everyday experience as well."

LOWVILLE Lewis County hospice and home health care programs have finally moved under the auspices of Lewis County General Hospital, nearly two years after county lawmakers signed off on the shift.
It was a long process to get our approval, said Board of Legislators Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan. But we had a goal in mind to make our departments more efficient and do some consolidation on our own. Finally, with the cooperation of all parties, we were able to reach our goal.
County legislators approved moving the programs oversight to the county-owned hospital from the county Public Health Agency in February 2011 in hopes of avoiding continued budgetary deficits. Since then, much time has been spent gaining needed state approvals and preparing for the move, Mr. Tabolt said.
Under the change, 20 employees 10 in the certified home health aide program, eight in hospice and two shared workers were transferred on Jan. 1 from the Lewis County Public Health Agency to the hospital.
While officials continue behind-the-scenes work on the transfer, they said most residents should see little difference, aside from a new phone number of 376-5308 for the two programs.
Patients havent seen any changes, said Tammy Suiter, patient care coordinator at Lewis County Hospice.
Existing hospital support services such as human resources, staff training, health information, billing and marketing are expected to benefit both programs.
It makes sense to combine resources so that these vital services remain available for the residents of Lewis County, said hospital CEO Eric R. Burch. Health care is changing with a focus being placed on assisting patients with managing their care after discharge from the hospital. The home health program can be a vital piece in helping patients control and achieve their health goals after they are discharged from the hospital. Further, the addition of Hospice offers patients the option to stay in the comfort of their home with family during the final stages of their lives.
They fit very well in our hospital family, said Christina M. Flint, the hospitals marketing and public relations director.
According to program officials, the certified home health program gets roughly 600 referrals a year, including both active patients and patient evaluations for the Department of Social Services and nursing home, while Hospice assists roughly 70 families each year.
We know were not hitting the number of people that could use the service, Mrs. Suiter said.
One of the ongoing difficulties for hospice officials is the stigma attached to the program, which is intended to assist residents with a life-limiting illness, she said.
While people sometimes wait until their final days to seek hospice services, both the program and families benefit from more lengthy periods of service, Mrs. Suiter said.
Short stints are relatively costly to the program because they involve more intensive staff participation and require significant expenses for equipment and medication, regardless of how little they are used, she said.
A more lengthy service period also gives more time for staff members to counsel family members and help patients get more comfortable and undertake activities in which they are interested, Mrs. Suiter said.
We do encourage people to get out and do things, she said.
Patients may be discharged from the program if it is deemed unnecessary, Mrs. Suiter said.
I do think we make a difference in peoples lives, and there are people out there who need that experience, she said.
Along with paid staff members, Lewis County Hospice has about 50 volunteers who assist with everything from patient care to administration and fundraising, depending upon their interests, Mrs. Suiter said.
A 32-hour training course for those interested in becoming volunteers will be held in the spring.

Found a Bavarian WWI Ersatz leatherSpiked Helmet pre 1900 i
While cleaning out my Mother's house I found what I so far have discovered online is a Bavarian WWI Ersatz Leather Spiked Helmet. But I cannot find one exactly like it online. Most are hard helmets or felt. This one is leather with brass front plate and spike. Also the front plate is close to some I have seen but nothing exactly like it. Really has me mind boggled and I am trying to find out the value. If anybody has an idea or can direct me to a source to find it please let me know. I have already spent hours on this thing. Thanks.

Mat, can you post large, detailed photos of the front part of the helmet, showing as much detail as possible?

The Columbia Club
121 Monument Cir.
Indianapolis Indiana 46204United States
(317) 767-1361
Editor's Review
Stay in a one-of-a-kind historic hotel, overlooking Monument Circle in the heart of downtown.
Though the historic Columbia Club is a members-only organization, the building also serves as a hotel open to anyone. It's a good thing, because it would be a shame to miss the inside of this 1925 building. The club was originally founded in 1889 by supporters of President Benjamin Harrison (an Indy native whose home on Delaware Street is open for tours). One of the club's claims to fame is that every Republican president since Harrison has visited (at either this location or its previous locations) as either president or presidential candidate. However, these days, the politics are gone: It's primarily a social and business club. The first four floors are full of beautiful lounges, meeting spaces, restaurants and conference rooms, each filled with a variety of art and artifacts: Remington bronzes, Lincoln china, a table from Harrison's White House, windows designed by Tiffany and art by Indiana artist T.C. Steele. Floors five through nine are guestrooms (there are 96 total). The two top floors were recently remodeled into suites and larger rooms. Each room is decorated differently, and instead of humdrum hotel art, there are historical prints on the walls. We also like the historical cards that are tucked into the bed each day. The rooms on floors five through seven are smaller, making them feel cozier (even the bathrooms are charming). For a nice view, request a room overlooking Monument Circle. The basement fitness center (with pool) is a clean and nicely equipped. Most of the restaurants and lounges are open to hotel guests -- just a few are reserved for Columbia Club members only. We especially love the Crystal Terrace area on the mezzanine level (where breakfast and lunch are served), with its elaborate painted ceiling, huge floor-to-ceiling art glass window, crystal chandeliers and nice view toward Monument Circle. Staff is attentive and responsive, and the place is impeccably kept. Aside from hotel guests, the building is sometimes open to the public, such as during Indy's Devour Downtown event (two weeks in January/February and two weeks in August) when the Harrison Room restaurant offers prix fixe dining. The building is also on the Historic Preservation Association's walking tour. But your best bet for gaining access into this gem of a building (if you're not a member) is staying here. Rates range from $161 to $299/night.

By TOM McCOURTSun Advocate reporter
Dear Butch:
You haven't been seen in the Castle Valley area for more than 100 years now. So, I thought I'd write a letter and update you on what has happened since you last rode out of town. A lot has changed here on the Wasatch Behind.
Some people say you were killed in Bolivia back in 1909, but I know that could never have happened to you and Sundance. You guys are bulletproof. All the books and movies tell us that. I'm sure you are still alive and hiding out there on the Elmo frontier somewhere. I found your boot tracks in a little side canyon in Buckhorn Wash once. I told a bunch of Boy Scouts that you had made those tracks, but they didn't believe me.
I guess you heard that in 1969 they made a movie about you and the wild bunch. Paul Newman played you. Robert Redford was Sundance. The movie was a big hit and made lots of money, a lot more than you ever made robbing banks and trains.
In the movie, you and Sundance are a couple of nice guys. You are handsome, funny, and simply bursting with youthful exuberance and charm. Everyone likes you in the movie. They overlook the fact that you were a bully and a cheat.
In fact, over the years you and Sundance have become the most famous citizens the Castle Valley ever produced. There have been dozens of books, movies, organizations, clubs, rodeos, car shows, and other events named after you and your gang of thieves. For a long time I couldn't understand that. There have been many good men in Carbon County who gave lives of service to the community. They have all been forgotten. I guess being good is always so ordinary and dull. It's funny sometimes, who we pick as heroes. I guess there's a little outlaw in each of us.
But then, I have come to understand that maybe it isn't you that we worship. Maybe it's just your wild and carefree spirit that is bulletproof and refuses to die. The old west went with you when you rode off into the sunset. We long for the freedom that your memory represents. Things are very different today.
You wouldn't recognize your old stomping grounds. Price is a normal little city now, stale and tame by your rowdy standards. There are no gambling dens or cathouses here anymore, at least not officially. The bloody bucket saloon has a different name now and sells only 3.2percent beer. Your bladder gives out before you get stupid enough to dance on the bar and shoot out the lights.
The old town of Castle Gate, where you made your mark in the annals of the old west, has been gone for a long time. You stole only the payroll. A modern bunch of corporate bandits stole the whole town.
And you could never rob a payroll nowadays. Our money isn't worth anything today and so payrolls are done electronically. We shuffle paper and plastic and only pretend that it's real money. Even our coins are nothing but monopoly game tokens made of copper and aluminum with pictures of trees, cows, and peaches where our national symbols used to be. I'm not sure who got away with all the gold and silver that used to be in our coins. You and Sundance are small potatoes compared to modern thieves.
You would find that robbers roost has changed a lot too. It's a national park and a wilderness study area now. You would be in big trouble if they caught you living there without a permit. They don't want your horse pooping on the trails down there anymore either. It ruins the ambiance of the national park experience and makes a mess on mountain bikes. Bummer dude.
But, don't despair. There are two other robbers' roosts today: the halls of congress and the corporate boardrooms of New York. You and the wild bunch would fit right in.
And so, I hope this letter finds you well and happy and not full of Bolivian bullet holes. Tell Sundance he still owes me five bucks. Stop by sometime and we'll have a cup of postum around a BLM approved campfire.
Uncle Spud

New study reveals: Want healthier kids? Get a dog!
Finally, the weight kids need to tip the "Please can we get a pet?" scales in their favor!
A study published by the Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics followed 397 kids up to the age of one and found that those who lived in households with dogs suffered from 44% fewer ear infections, 31% fewer respiratory tract infections, and needed antibiotics less often than kids who were "dogless."
And what about those fuzzy furballs of the feline persuation? Cats also help strengthen kids' immune systems while providing hours of entertainment and purr-ific snuggle-fests. Cat owners are also 40% less likely to die from heart attacks.Here's another bit of kibble to help flavor your winning "get a dog" argument - Research out of the University of California, San Francisco found that children in homes that have both dust and dogs are less likely to develop "respiratory syncytial virus, a common cause of potentially severe cold-like illnesses." So, Mom...adopt a shelter puppy, dust less, and have healthier kids! It's a win-win-win proposition!
