POTSDAM A Clarkson University professors research into smart grid technology has received a boost from the National Science Foundation.
The NSF has given Lei Wu, assistant professor in electrical engineering, a $400,000 Faculty Early Career Development award. Mr. Wu is embarking on a five-year project that will provide a blueprint as the United States updates its electrical grid to handle input from renewable energy sources.
Unlike coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear power, wind, solar and other forms of renewable energy are volatile, lacking reliable output. The energy grid of the future will have to adjust to increases and decreases in energy output in real time.
The grant will fund two doctoral students to assist with the development of mathematical algorithms to find favorable sites for renewable energy facilities. The students may travel to high schools over the course of the grant, through August 2018, to teach power systems concepts to students.

Li skipped out on last week's Tokyo screening, with rumors swirling that the actor was ditching Japan over her feelings regarding a territorial dispute between the country and China. Li's agent didn't exactly refute those rumors, saying the actor agreed with the Chinese government's position on the territory and was only skipping the Tokyo premiere.
Not only did Li not visit Japan to promote the movie, she also supposedly asked to have her image removed from the Japanese version of the movie posters. This hasn't been confirmed or denied. However, I recently visited a movie theater here in Japan and saw two different posters. None of them featured the Chinese actor. However, Li does appear on the movie's website (but it wasn't reported that she demanded to be erased from that). Her role in the movie has apparently not been cut down, either.
There is another Resident Evil: Retribution poster in Japan, apparently. It features Jovovich in her skintight body suit with her back to the camera.
Below, you can see an image of Li's appearance at the Hong Kong premiere for Resident Evil: Retribution. Her image is proudly displayed with Jovovich's. While in Hong Kong, it seems that the actor was repeatedly asked about the rumors, but supposedly dodged the questions.

Rhino Pony Wug Turnout Blanket - Medium Weight (200g)
Super Medium Weight Pony Wug!
The Rhino® Pony 200g Wug is a warm, waterproof and breathable turnout, by Horseware®, that will help to keep your horse warm and dry on those cooler days! This cozy wug has classic good looks and the beautiful brown and tan check make this attractive turnout one that you will enjoy for years to come. A durable outer shell of 1000 Denier Polypropylene and a silky smooth nylon lining are designed. Also, the 200g thermobonded fiber fill retains extra loft, keeping your horse warmer longer. The waterproofing is on the inside!
Horseware's Rhino® Pony Wug further features the patented Front Leg Arches™ which allow freedom of forward motion, as it prevents extra fabric from gathering around your pony's legs as he moves. The Classic-Cut, no slip design with belly surcingles and a tail strap keep this durable and well fit turnout in place even after a pony lays down and rolls.
The Rhino® Pony 200g Turnout Wug offers:
The Rhino Blanket Collection from Horseware features technology that changes the rules!
The Rhino Barrier Technology is based on 3 core principles:
Unlike the conventional approach, where the waterproof coating is applied directly to the outer layer, Horseware Barrier Technology changes the rules. The outer shell of a Rhino does not carry the waterproof coating like most blankets on the market. They've put the protective barrier on the inside, so that even if the outer fabric is damaged, the inner waterproof and brathable barrier remains intact.
The outer layer of a Rhino turnout blanket is made of 1000D Polypropylene. Polypropylene is 50 to 100% stronger than the coated Polyester used in the majority of turnout blankets, so you have a blanket that is light but strong.
The AquaTrans coating is actually applied to the barrier layer, allowing the blanket to be waterproof and provide maimum breathability. Underneath the barrier fabric is another very thin layer, which will trap and hold sweat from the horse until it has time to escape into the air.
Horseware Ireland has a full line of Rhino Turnout blankets that are unique in design and function and will meet the needs of you and your horse. The Rhino Plus features a detachable hood, The Rhino Wug features a high neck design and the Rhino Original features the classic, original cut. The Rhino Turnout Blankets will not slip or rub and are available in heavy, medium and lightweight styles.

........about Ariel. He comes across as a well meaning likable fellow in all honesty. I really don't care what words he used in the article.I've seen way worse in not only the Open Forum but the other forums on here. Now is that saying I condone that JA lets such language be used in a public forum? NO,,,,,BUT........it's his forum and he seems to do whatever he wants anyway and uses bad language himself. He's NEVER wrong ya know.
I think Ariel would be happier in an honest environment where he doesn't have to deal with JA and the other suck ups that are employed by him. Giving up your moral ideals for a job is very hard on most. Here is my advice to you Ariel......RUN.........RUN as fast as you can from this cesspool of subjective BS known as Stereophile and seek employment in something your heart tells you is right. You've been here long enough to see how things are done I am sure.
To paraphrase the very last comic strip of Calvin and Hobbes (My avatar is based upon Calvin by the way Regadude, NOT Johnny in a swing, you dolt) ..."Its a magical world Ariel ol' buddy........lets go exploring"

For many people in Carbon county, last winter not only meant some of the highest home energy costs since the 1970s, but also cutting back on personal expenditures. And after the summer's energy shortages and high utility bills, it's never too early to prepare a home for this season's expected energy costs.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), natural gas prices in the winter of 2000 to 2001 more than doubled from the previous winter's average price.
Americans can help lower their heating bills by making these simple energy-saving home improvements now:
Add another layer of attic insulation. Since the majority of homes built before 1980 are under-insulated, heat can escape through the ceiling, past the roof and into the atmosphere. According to the Department of Energy, one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to help cut heating and cooling costs, and to make a home more comfortable, is to add more insulation in the attic. As a general rule, if you have less than 11 to 12 inches of attic insulation, you probably need more.
Turn on the humidifier. It's not just the heat; it's also the humidity. If your furnace doesn't have a built-in humidifier, use a portable unit in frequently occupied areas like the bedroom and living room. The additional moisture will increase the "heat index" inside of your home, making 68 F feel more like 76 F.
Install a programmable thermostat. Why heat the house when nobody is home? A programmable thermostat can automatically lower and raise your home's air temperature when you are at work or sleeping. By simply turning your thermostat from 72 F down to 65 F for eight hours a day, you can save as much as 10 percent on your annual heating and cooling costs.
Seal the ducts. The most logical way to stay warm is to only heat only living areas, not the attic or unfinished basement. However, in many homes, the warm air generated by the furnace often escapes into the attic or basement before it reaches its intended destination because of cracks or holes in the air ducts.

Pair of glass vases
Can anyone give some details of these glass vases in the photo?.
These cobalt-blue vases are thin, flute shaped, 8 in in height with a ruffled edge. A vine, showing the leaves, hugs each vase. Each has an applied transparent glass foot. Glass bubbles can be seen in the feet. I purchased these from Goa but do not have any better provenance.

A Nightmare in Las Cruces
On February 10, 1990 two cowards walked into the Las Cruces Bowl and changed the lives of many people. Seven people inside the bowling alley were forced at gunpoint to the floor and told to put their heads down. After stealing thousands of dollars from the safe, the killers shot all seven multiple times at close range, execution-style. The shooters then started a fire on the desk and fled. Dead at the scene were Amy Houser, Steven Teran,and his step-daughter Paula. Steven's daughter Valerie died 45 minutes later at the hospital. Incredibly, Melissia Repass, Stephanie C. Senac, and Ida Holguin survived the brutal attack. Repass, just twelve at the time, made the heroic 911 call despite being shot in the head,which saved three lives.

MASSENA As the final threesome of the Section 10 Golf Championships medalist competition began its back nine at the Massena Golf and Country Club on Saturday, a chilly zephyr off the St. Lawrence River turned in a gusting wind with a frigid bite.
But Massena junior Hunter Francis, who took second in last years championship, was feeling some heat.
Francis and the defending champion Devin Delisle of Brushton-Moira shared the first-day lead at 79. But on the front nine the complexion in the threesome changed.
Delisle, a sophomore, encountered extreme putting problems slipping to a 43 while Francis posted a 40 and OFA senior Brandon Mullin, who shot a 42 on Friday, sank a series of long putts, including a 50-footer, in shooting a 39.
Mullin cut the difference to one with a par on the 11th hole while Francis and Delisle bogeyed.
Then came, the par three 12th hole, which became the fulcrum for the final swing of the tournament. Francis jarred an 18-foot par saver while Mullin bogeyed in the first of a series of three-putts in a slide to a back-nine 43 and a fourth place finish at 82-82-164.
Francis birdied the 13th and 15th holes, posted a back nine 36, and secured the title with a five-stroke margin (79-76-155) despite a four-putt double bogey on the par three 17th hole.
Hunter Francis knows his way around the golf course very well, Massena coach Joe Mittiga said. He has a great attitude and he played a ton of golf this summer. Coming close last year really motivated him.
Recalling the momentum shifting putt on the 12th hole, Francis said, I knew Brandon was within one stroke of me so I had to make the putt. I couldnt let him get ahead of me. I just thought about playing my game, staying patient and waiting for the putts to fall.
The putts never fell for Delisle until it was too late to make a charge. He played two over par over the last seven holes for a back nine 38 with birdie on 15 and took second at 79-81-160. But he was frustrated by a series of agonizing close misses until sinking a 20-foot par putt on the 18th hole.
One golfer who did make a charge was OFA junior Conor Hannan who birdied the first six holes of the back nine and finished with a 39-38-77 and a third-place finish at 84-77-161.
Hannan joined Mullin on the state tournament team and OFA Coach Joe Lynch said it capped a great weekend for the Blue Devils, who won the team title on Friday,
We are very happy to have two of our guys going to states, Lynch said.
Rounding out the nine-man Section 10 state tournament entry are: Evan Hanna of Malone (87-82-169); Madrid-Waddingtons Jeff Mott, who enjoyed an eight-stroke improvement on Saturday, fashioning a 91-83-174; Tupper Lakes Riley Amell (90-84-174); Salmon Rivers T.J. Roundpoint (89-87-176); and Potsdams Konnor Bigwarfe (91-87-178). Bigwarfe won a one-hole playoff for the ninth spot over teammate Dan Stone (88-90-178), the teams first alternate.
OFAs Dylan Binion (86-93-179) is the second alternate.

Woodson Won't Commit To Amar'e As A Starter
In a report from Marc Berman of the NY Post, Mike Woodson was asked about when Amar'e Stoudemire returns from injury if he will return to the starting lineup and move Carmelo Anthony to the Small Forward spot.
"I'm going to address that when we get to that point,'' Woodson said at New Orleans Arena. "Right now I'm just taking it a day at a time and work the guys we have in uniform.''
When told about the losing record the Knicks have when both Stoudemire and Anthony are in the starting lineup Woodson talked about his confidence in their ability to play together.
"Is it an overall losing record with me as a head coach?,'' Woodson said. " I can't think about what happened before I took over. As a coach, I feel good about both of them playing on the floor at the same time. That's not going to change.''
Stoudemire has been out since the preseason after left knee surgery and is not expected to return until mid-December.
Matthew Falkenbury
This situation reminds me a lot of when Carlos Beltran returned from Knee Surgery for the Mets in 2010 and was "Blamed" for the Mets poor play when he returned after the All-Star break.
We all know that the second this team struggles or loses a couple of games in a row after Amar'e comes back we will have a #BlameAmare hashtag on Twitter faster than the guy created the Jason Kidd Headband account.
If anything, it does seem like Woodson has put some kid of consideration into having Amar'e come off the bench which based upon the way the team has played so far, it makes little sense to change the starting lineup.
I will say this, Woodson has preached team and sacrifice all season and everyone has bought in so far. I would think that whatever decision he makes regarding Stoudemire will be welcomed by the players because he certainly hasn't made many bad moves yet as head coach

Quote: RA Dickey on Skills and Living Well
RA Dickey graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1997.
In a detailed post for the school's sports blog, TorchBearer, Ariel Cohen talks to Dickey about his success with the Mets this season.
Dickey also speaks about his time at UT, how he transitioned in to being a knuckleball pitcher, and explains:
"There is something to be said for really developing a skill, working hard, and living each moment well. If you can do that, at the end of the day you will be satisfied… You have to remember to never take yourself too seriously and to realize that no one is entitled to anything except this day and these moments to live well."

WOONSOCKET — Mount St. Charles had plans of issuing Lincoln High a mild upset loss on its "Senior Day," one in which underclassmen traditionally honor their 12th graders for four years of devotion to the program.
Unfortunately for the Mount, a Lions' sophomore ruined the party.
Erin Gannon notched a pair of goals in the span of four minutes not long after the opening touch, and the last proved to be crucial as Lincoln manufactured a 3-1 Division II victory on the lower-campus turf on Thursday afternoon.
Gannon converted an unassisted tally a mere seven minutes into the contest, then knocked home senior forward Brittany Redding's feed in the 11th minute to help the Lions improve to 9-2-3 overall and in league action.
"Erin got us going, and she played fantastic," stated head coach Chris Allen after the Lions secured for itself third place in the D-II. "Those two goals helped us organize ourselves pretty quickly. We didn't have to worry about the first 10-minute jitters, and they got our heads into the game.
"Mount always has a good team, and it's always a good game when we play them," he added. "For a finale, I thought we had a good possession game, which allowed us to create some chances and get some shots on net. Early on, we took advantage of those chances."
The way Allen figures it, his squad will be the third-ranked team (behind first-place Exeter/West Greenwich and runner-up Pilgrim) when coaches convene for the state D-II tournament seeding meeting tonight at Interscholastic League headquarters at Rhode Island College.
The top four teams earn automatic byes, so Allen and Co. would have to wait for those rated No. 5-12 to play first-round tilts before the Lions knew who they would face.
As for the Mounties, mentor Marek Wolny wasn't quite so sure where his club stood. They finished at 8-5-2 overall and 7-5-1 in league. If Tiverton lost to Pilgrim late Thursday night, Wolny believed his squad would secure the fourth seed and snare not just a bye but a home game.
"We're definitely playoff-bound, and if Pilgrim wins, I think we own the tiebreaker, so we'd be the fourth seed," he stated. "That means we'd have the bye, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. We'll know more (tonight).
"I thought this was a really good game," he continued. "Lincoln played very well, and I thought they were a little bit stronger than we were in that second half. They finished in front of the net, and we struggled with that. I think we dominated the second half, but we couldn't find the back of the net."
Following Gannon's two goals, Mount St. Charles became more aggressive, and that helped it produce some quality shots. With 16:45 remaining in the opening session, senior defender/quad-captain Cassie Roberge drilled a 35-yard shot from the right at junior keeper Lauren Hervieux, but it soared wide right of the post.
A mere 2:35 later, junior Dorothea Moniz lofted a bouncing try at Hervieux, but she secured it. The Mounties continued their surge; with 3:27 left before the break, sophomore Deandra Duarte fired a 27-yard shot from outside the left segment of the box, but Hervieux made a leaping grab.
And, with 2:25 remaining, tri-captain Haley Connors roped a left-side corner kick at the goalie box, and the tall, lanky Roberge headed it at the het, but it missed the right post by, perhaps, a foot.
MSC finally sliced the Lincoln lead in half in the 39th minute; that's when Connors drove a pretty right-to-left cross to sophomore Erin Mastaj. The latter, stationed by the rear left post, ripped a low liner past Herveiux, and the hometowners left the field for intermission down, 2-1.
"They put some pressure on us at the tail end of the first half, but we were able to hold them off until halftime, then re-plan our strategy for the second," Allen noted.
That chat worked wonders, as the Lions needed little time to cushion their advantage. At the 3:50 mark of the final stanza, senior defender Megan Young ripped a left-side corner kick toward the middle of the box, and a few foes grappled for possession.
MSC junior Olivia Boyce immediately tried to drive the ball out, but Lincoln senior midfielder Annie Carroll recovered the rebound and booted it past junior back-up goalie Allison Gibbons to extend its lead to 3-1.
Wolny's crew, though, immediately picked it up a notch. Approximately five minutes after that tally, it seemed as if the Mounties would tie it up when Connors took a 20-yard direct kick from just outside the box' right section, but it just missed hitting the crossbar.
About 4:30 later, in the 14th minute, Roberge rocketed a 40-yard direct kick at the cage, but that, too, sailed a couple of feet over the bar.
With only 12:28 remaining, Boyce snuck inside the box and, unmarked, fired a wide-open shot at the net, but that missed wide left.
It looked as if Lincoln would make it a three-goal win with just over five minutes left; sophomore forward Elizabeth Young received a through ball for a breakaway and rifled it at Gibbons, though the latter lunged for a terrific save.
All told, Hervieux stopped eight shots for the Lions, and Gibbons (who had replaced injured senior quad-captain/goalie Nicole Butts) managed 11 saves.
Allen credited senior co-captain Marissa D'Amelio, classmate Young and junior Serena Balon for playing stellar defense, while Wolny liked the way his defenders – including Roberge, senior Boyce and junior Theresa Pereira – kept Lincoln off-balance, at least for the most part.
"Marissa and Meg are our last line of defense, and they're great players," Allen offered. "They're phenomenal as communicators; they play so well together."
Noted Wolny: "I thought we started slowly, but played very well the remainder of the first half. We were a little flat in the second, and it took us a while to get going. They put some pressure on us early in the first half, but I thought we picked it up (over the final 30 minutes). We just didn't finish."

Ending March 23, the four-week average of unemployment insurance initial claims filed across Utah registered at 2,154.
The figure represents a 37 percent jump from the 1,569 average reported last year, points out the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
In addition, data compiled by workforce services indicate that the number of unemployment compensation weeks claimed by residents throughout the state registered at 25,401.
The statewide 2002 unemployment compensation total constitutes a 59 percent increase from the 15,937 weeks claimed by Utahns during the designated period in 2001.
Addressing the status of stock market activity, the workforce services statistics indicate that the Tribune/Bloomberg Index is up 1 percent for the year, while the Dow Jones average is ahead 3.8 percent.
Still, Utah's best stocks during the quarter outpaced the Dow's strongest individual performers. The Tribune/Bloomberg Index measures the performance of Utah's 45 largest publicly traded companies.
At the national level, the United States economy bounced back in the final three months of last year. The U.S. economy managed to growing at an annual rate of 1.7 percent after falling into a recession in early 2001.
According to the U.S. Labor Department, number of initial jobless claims filed by American workers climbed by 18,000 to a seasonally adjusted 394,000 for the week ending March 23. The figure rose to its highest level since mid-January when initial claims reached 395,000.
However, the latest nationwide numbers still remained below the key 400,000 level economic analysts consider recessionary, points out the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
The latest reading on the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the national economy's health, shows the expansion registered at a faster pace than the government previously estimated, reports the U.S. Commerce Department. The upward revision reflects an improved trade picture in fourth quarter 2001.
Orders to U.S. factories for large-ticket goods rose 1.5 percent in February, the third straight monthly increase, lifted by stronger demand for airplanes, communications equipment and household appliances.
Projected to last for at least three years, the advance in orders for costly manufactured items came after 0.9 percent and 1.3 percent increases in December 2001 and January 2002 respectively, explains the U.S. Commerce Department.
Nationally, new home sales rose 5.3 percent in February, with buyers motivated by low mortgage rates and mild weather. The solid expansion pushed up sales of single-family dwellings to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 875,000, adds the U.S. Commerce Department.
Sales of previously-owned homes dipped in February, but still racked up the second highest monthly level on record across the nation.
After hitting a record high in January, the edged down 2.8 percent last month to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 5.88 million, reports the National Association of Realtors.
The confidence of American consumers surged in March as optimism grew about the job market in a recovering national economy, continues the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
The Conference Board's gauge of sentiment rose to 110.2 for the month from 95 in February, the highest index reported since August.
Increased demand for gasoline and lower supplies resulted in surging prices at the pumps throughout the U.S., adds workforce services
Last Friday's weighted price per gallon for all grades of gasoline and taxes registered at nearly $1.38, up 14.36 cents from related costs posted on March 8, according to the Lundberg Survey. The survey polled 8,000 stations at various locations across the U.S.
The price jump at the nation's gas pumps was the largest two-week cents per gallon hike since the survey started 50 years ago.
The next largest jump was the increase of 12.69 cents posted in April 2001.
More than three-quarters of the members of a panel surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics believe it is unlikely the United States will suffer a "double dip" recession.
In a double dip recession, economic growth would resume in the United States, only to falter later.
All regions throughout the nation should recover from recession by summer, predicts an Economy.com index of leading economic indicators.
Measuring the likelihood of economies entering a recession within six months, the January 2002 index marked a sharp reversal from September 2001 - the apparent peak for the recession.
Nationally, the chance of recession six months hence shrank to 12 percent in January from 55 percent in September
Spending by American consumers increased 0.6 percent last month after climbing 0.5 percent in January, reports the U.S. Commerce Department.
Consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of all economic activity in the United States.
At the same time, Americans' incomes increased by 0.6 percent, representing the largest expansion since October 2000.
Income includes wages, interest and government benefits, concludes the Utah Department of Workforce Services' latest Trendlines report.

Comments about AKG D8000M with Cable and Stand 10 Pack:
First, 4 stars instead of 5, only because I'm not qualified enough to compare with similar products, and one caveat cited below.
I bought this package because our church praise band needed a number of mics and stands. So far, they have performed quite nicely. Even the cables that were included were just fine (very flexible). The mic stands shipped pre-assembled and are light-weight, sturdy (for our purposes) and easy to adjust.
I cannot comment on the durability aspect, as we have only begun to use them. So far, so good!
The only issue we encountered with this package is that, oddly, the mic clips included with the microphones wouldn't thread onto the threads on boom stand (clip threading was too large), however, the mic clips would thread onto the mic stands themselves (where the booms were threaded on). I called MF, and they immediately shipped me different mic clips (Thanks MF!). I'll update if problem is not resolved.
All in all, a great value for the package!

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Two main medications used for Lyme disease include:
- Antibiotics
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Common names include:
- Doxycycline (Vibramycin and others)
- Amoxicillin (Amoxil and others)
- Cefuroxime (Ceftin, Kefurox, Zinacef)
- Ceftriaxone (Rocephin)
Antibiotics are given to treat patients in all stages of Lyme disease. Their aim is to kill the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. A repeat course of antibiotic therapy may be needed if Lyme disease infection recurs. Some people may continue to develop symptoms and complications of the disease even after the bacteria are killed.
- Doxycycline—This antibiotic is given in pill form for several weeks or sometimes longer. Doxycycline can cause an upset stomach and should be taken with food. It cannot be used in pregnant women and children under 8 years of age.
- Amoxicillin—This is a type of penicillin antibiotic. It is given to pregnant women, children under 8, and those allergic to tetracycline. It is given in pill form or liquid for children under age 8. The medication will be given over several weeks. It can be taken on an empty or full stomach.
- Cefuroxime and ceftriaxone—These are given when you cannot take either of the other antibiotics, or if you have serious complications. Cefuroxime is usually given in pill or liquid form and should be taken with a full glass of water. They can be taken with food or a glass of milk if they upset your stomach. Ceftriaxone is given in IV form or as an injection into the muscle.
Possible side effects of all antibiotics include:
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Allergic reaction, including skin rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing
- Hypersensitivity to sunlight (most common with doxycycline)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Common names include:
- Ibuprofen (Advil, Genpril, Medipren, Motrin, Nuprin, Rufen)
- Naproxen sodium (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprosyn)
NSAIDs are pain relievers. Your doctor may advise you to use them if you have arthritis pain as a complication of Lyme disease. The dose depends on the amount of pain. For severe pain, NSAIDs are available in higher doses by prescription. They should be taken with food and a full glass of water.
Possible side effects include:
- Increased bleeding after surgery
- Headache
- Upset stomach
- Ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding
- Flu-like feeling
- Asthma or chest tightness
NSAIDs may interfere with other medications including those treating high blood pressure . Be sure any doctor prescribing NSAIDs knows about your past medical history and any of your other medicines. If you are aged 50 or older or have previously had bleeding from the stomach or upper gastrointestinal tract, your doctor may prescribe different medications than the ones listed above.
Special Considerations
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take your medication as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Do not stop taking them without talking to your doctor.
- Do not share them.
- Know what the results and side effects. Report them to your doctor.
- Some drugs can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one drug. This includes over-the-counter medication and herb or dietary supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills so you don't run out.

Educating Future Teachers
Nov. 29, 2012
By Elizabeth Chapin
Arturo Avila helps teach a hands-on physics lesson at a local school.
Avila is currently earning his teaching credential at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Arturo Avila is a first-generation college grad with a degree in civil engineering. Kyla BradyLong earned her bachelor's in chemistry. Although from very different backgrounds, both share the love of science. So much, in fact, they have both decided to become science teachers.
Thanks to initiatives launched by Chancellor Reed, more of California's brightest scientists like Cal Poly San Luis Obispo teacher credential students Avila and BradyLong are pursuing careers in teaching.
California is projected to need upwards of 33,000 new science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers in the next ten years. The demand for credentialed teachers in these fields is significantly higher than the supply of fully qualified candidates. Reed's emphasis on improving teacher education led to a systemwide Math and Science Teacher Initiative, and met his goal of doubling the annual production of math and science teachers.
A high school science teacher inspired Kyla BradyLong to pursue science, but the "Learn by Doing" lab at Cal Poly is what inspired her to teach it.
While she is pursuing a teaching credential, she is also spending time in the lab with professors and grad students at UC Davis' Center for Biophotonics Science & Technology. She is placed there as part of her internship with the STAR program and says it's an innovative setting to examine best practices for teaching STEM.
"We're focused on giving students more freedom during lab time," said BradyLong. "It's a more realistic approach that works with students of all grades and ages. They come up with their own experimental designs and end up learning more."
As part of the internship, BradyLong is also helping a research team working to develop a more effective form of chemotherapy for cancer patients. She says the fact that she has contributed to cancer research may be inspiring for her future students.
"Many kids may think chemistry is too hard, or it's boring," BradyLong said. "But when you add the human element, it becomes something else—something that they can relate to. What if that inspires a kid to want to create the cure for cancer when she or he grows up? We can't afford to lose out on that."
Avila is sure to inspire his future students in a different way. Twenty years ago, he moved to California from Mexico, and after high school went on to a community college and eventually transferred to Cal Poly where he earned his degree in civil engineering.
Avila is now teaching part-time as he works on his credential. The first in his family to go to college, he wants to give back and teach physics in high-need schools.
"Being bilingual is definitely a plus in California's diverse communities," said Avila. "I'm better able to connect with students who may grow up thinking science is not a career choice. But if they see that I was able to do it, it becomes a very real option."
BradyLong and Avila both agree that the most rewarding part about teaching science to K-12 students is the moment when they "get it."
"At the point when a student connects curriculum with experience, things finally click," Avila said. "Seeing those light bulbs go off makes it all worthwhile."
Thanks to the efforts and vision of Chancellor Reed, future teachers like Avila and BradyLong will have the opportunity to pursue their career goals and become the teachers so critical to California's future.

Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brainby Oliver Sacks
Staff Pick
Musicophilia is a fascinating look at music and its effects on our brains. Who but Oliver Sacks could make such a compulsively readable book?
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does — humans are a musical species.
Oliver Sacks's compassionate, compelling tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions have fundamentally changed the way we think of our own brains, and of the human experience. In Musicophilia, he examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people — from a man who is struck by lightning and suddenly inspired to become a pianist at the age of forty-two, to an entire group of children with Williams syndrome, who are hypermusical from birth; from people with "amusia," to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans, to a man whose memory spans only seven seconds — for everything but music.
Our exquisite sensitivity to music can sometimes go wrong: Sacks explores how catchy tunes can subject us to hours of mental replay, and how a surprising number of people acquire nonstop musical hallucinations that assault them night and day. Yet far more frequently, music goes right: Sacks describes how music can animate people with Parkinson's disease who cannot otherwise move, give words to stroke patients who cannot otherwise speak, and calm and organize people whose memories are ravaged by Alzheimer's or amnesia.
Music is irresistible, haunting, andunforgettable, and in Musicophilia, Oliver Sacks tells us why.
"Sacks is an unparalleled chronicler of modern medicine, and fans of his work will find much to enjoy when he turns his prodigious talent for observation to music and its relationship to the brain. The subtitle aptly frames the book as a series of medical case studies — some in-depth, some abruptly short. The tales themselves range from the relatively mundane (a song that gets stuck on a continuing loop in one's mind) through the uncommon (Tourette's or Parkinson's patients whose symptoms are calmed by particular kinds of music) to the outright startling (a man struck by lightning subsequently developed a newfound passion and talent for the concert piano). In this latest collection, Sacks introduces new and fascinating characters, while also touching on the role of music in some of his classic cases (the man who mistook his wife for a hat makes a brief appearance). Though at times the narrative meanders, drawing connections through juxtaposition while leaving broader theories to be inferred by the reader, the result is greater than the sum of its parts. This book leaves one a little more attuned to the remarkable complexity of human beings, and a bit more conscious of the role of music in our lives." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Sacks portrays our innate propensity toward music as an overall plus — often therapeutic and occasionally a lifesaver." Los Angeles Times
"Sacks is not in the business of answers carved in stone....His ultimate gift to readers is a sustained sense of wonder at the enormous variability of individual human experience." Oregonian
"Sacks' tales...work their way beyond passionate personal appreciation of music toward potential uses with neurological conditions." Seattle Times
"Sacks is less interested in providing answers here than he is in creating awareness. While the stories Sacks relates are not as fantastical and colorful as in previous books, they are just as compelling." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Pleasantly rollicking, but with a definite hint that the grand old man is taking it easy." Kirkus Reviews
"Neurologist Sacks...charmingly argues that music is essential to being human in ways that have only begun to be understood....His customary erudition and fellow-feeling ensure that, no matter how clinical the discussion becomes, it remains, like the music of Mozart, accessible and congenial." Booklist
"A gifted writer and a neurologist, Sacks spins one fascinating tale after another to show what happens when music and the brain mix it up." Newsweek
Book News Annotation:
Sacks's own enthusiasm about the complex workings of the human mind (he teaches clinical neurology and psychiatry at Columbia U.) becomes infectious in his writings. In this volume, he turns his attention to the many phenomena concerning music and the brain, relating the scientific explanations alongside numerous and compelling case studies. Sacks describes the effects of music--and different aspects of music--on ordinary individuals, musicians, and people who have had accidents or disabilities, in chapters on music and memory, musical hallucinations, music therapy, and perfect pitch, among other topics. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Sacks's compassionate, compelling tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions have fundamentally changed the way we think of our own brains. Here, he examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people.
About the Author
Oliver Sacks is a physician and the author of nine previous books, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Awakenings (which inspired the Oscar-nominated film). He lives in New York City, where he is Professor of Clinical Neurology at Columbia University.

'You just never know where a stray bullet is going to come from'
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Police are no closer to finding a killer who opened fire on a family here in Yakima early Tuesday morning.
A 43-year-old man died on his front porch along Cherry Avenue. His two children were shot as well.
Neighbors say the sound of gunshots is nothing new to the community.
Police think the suspect may have run and hid inside of a home just a few blocks away. But police came up empty-handed after a standoff that lasted several hours. Nobody was inside the home.
It's why neighbors are locking up and neighborhood kids are staying close.
"I worry," said Divina Sanchez who lives nearby. "I always pray in the night that my family is not dead or anything."
Divina Sanchez's family is safe, but just down the street the Silva family is heartbroken.
43-year-old David Silva was shot in the head and killed. His 23-year-old son was hit in the arm And his 19-year-old daughter shot in the face. Both of them survived.
Their home, sandwiched between a playground and a daycare, still sits on what neighbors call a dangerous street.
"Nobody wants to come outside after dark," said Cynthia Delomas who lives on Cherry Ave. "They keep their doors shut. Won't even take garbage out. It's bad!"
She lives in fear for herself, her neighbors and her family.
"I don't want to get that phone call that one of my grandkids is dead," Delomas said. "Ya know? Because someone thought he was in a gang or he was wearing the wrong colors."
David Silva was not in a gang but rather an innocent victim caught in the crossfire.
It's now up to police to find his killer.
"You just never know where a stray bullet is going to come from," Delomas said.
Police say 19-year-old woman who was shot has some connections to gangs.
Investigators are looking for a person of interest to question, but no arrests have been made in the case.

MASSENA Village leaders are considering a moratorium on additional apartments to address what the mayor laments as a deteriorating fabric in our neighborhoods.
Mayor James F. Hidy brought up the discussion on apartments during the Board of Trustees meeting this week following a conversation with Trustee Patricia K. Wilson, who said many transient people have been renting properties.
Were so inundated with apartments and some of our neighborhoods are deteriorating rapidly, Mr. Hidy said.
The village board could institute a moratorium of up to a year on the construction of new apartments, he said.
What were trying to do is slow down the apartment process for a period of time because were finding that for multiple reasons theres a deteriorating fabric in our neighborhoods and we, as a board, think either current or potential landlords are satisfied with squeezing as many people as possible into structures that were originally built to house single families, he said.
Trustee Francis J. Carvel said he felt the matter was more of a planning and zoning issue.
If they cut up a house, dont they have to go to the zoning board? he asked. Its a zoning and planning issue.
Massena resident R. Shawn Gray suggested directing the code enforcement office not to issue any more permits to convert single-family houses into multiple-unit buildings.
Ken McGowan, a foreman with the Massena Fire Department, whose drivers are handling code enforcement responsibilities, said most of the complaints he has received relate to apartments.
Mr. Hidy said he plans to consult the planning and zoning boards on a potential moratorium or more strict enforcement of regulations.
Among the zones in the village, Residential A is made up of single-family homes, Residential B consists of single-family and two-family homes, and Residential C can include single-families and two-families as well as apartments.
One only has to drive around some of these neighborhoods that are listed as B or C. They once had pristine lawns and were well-maintained homes. Now in most cases they are cluttered with multiple vehicles on lawns and cluttered with unwanted debris, he said. We need to slow down.
When asked if this had anything to do with recent incidents of violence in the village involving people who have moved to the community from urban areas, Mr. Hidy said he considers that an entirely different issue.
Village officials also are considering a moratorium on Main Street construction.
Ms. Wilson said it would be a temporary measure until updates to the village code are adopted. A committee working on downtown revitalization is reviewing steps that could be taken to address blight in the Main Street corridor.
Trustees Timothy J. Ahfeld and Mr. Carvel both initially expressed concerns over the moratorium.
How will this affect the Baptist Church lot? Mr. Carvel asked.
Mr. Hidy said he understands a Nice N Easy convenience store is planned there.
If someone wants to build a Nice N Easy this summer, we shouldnt slow them down if they want to add money to the tax rolls, Mr. Ahfeld said.

Electromyography (EMG) is a test that checks the health of the muscles and the nerves that control the muscles.
See also: Nerve conduction velocity test
Alternative Names
EMG; Myogram; Electromyogram
How the Test is Performed
The health care provider will insert a very thin needle electrode through the skin into the muscle. The electrode on the needle picks up the electrical activity given off by your muscles. This activity appears on a nearby monitor, and may be heard through a speaker.
After placement of the electrodes, you may be asked to contract the muscle. For example, bending your arm. The electrical activity seen on the monitor provides information about your muscle's ability to respond when the nerves to your muscles are stimulated.
A nerve conduction velocity test is usually performed along with an EMG.
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is usually necessary. Avoid using any creams or lotions on the day of the test.
Body temperature can affect the results of this test. If it is extremely cold outside, wait in a warm room for a while before the test is performed.
If you are taking blood thinners or anticoagulants, inform the person performing the test, before it is done.
How the Test will Feel
You may feel some pain or discomfort when the needles are inserted, but most people are able to complete the test without significant difficulty.
Afterward, the muscle may feel tender or bruised for a few days.
Why the Test is Performed
EMG is most often used when people have symptoms of weakness, and examination shows impaired muscle strength. It can help to tell the difference between muscle weakness caused by injury of a nerve attached to a muscle and weakness due to neurologic disorders.
Normal Results
There is normally very little electrical activity in a muscle while at rest. Inserting the needles can cause some electrical activity, but once the muscles quiet down, there should be little electrical activity detected.
When you flex a muscle, activity begins to appear. As you contract your muscle more, the electrical activity increases and a pattern can be seen. This pattern helps your doctor determine if the muscle is responding as it should.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An EMG can detect problems with your muscles during rest or activity. Disorders or conditions that cause abnormal results include the following:
- Alcoholic neuropathy
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Axillary nerve dysfunction
- Becker's muscular dystrophy
- Brachial plexopathy
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Cubital tunnel syndrome
- Cervical spondylosis
- Common peroneal nerve dysfunction
- Denervation (reduced nerve stimulation of a muscle)
- Dermatomyositis
- Distal median nerve dysfunction
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (Landouzy-Dejerine)
- Familial periodic paralysis
- Femoral nerve dysfunction
- Friedreich's ataxia
- Guillain-Barre syndrome
- Lambert-Eaton syndrome
- Mononeuritis multiplex
- Mononeuropathy
- Myopathy (muscle degeneration caused by a number of disorders, including muscular dystrophy)
- Myasthenia gravis
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Polymyositis
- Radial nerve dysfunction
- Sciatic nerve dysfunction
- Sensorimotor polyneuropathy
- Shy-Drager syndrome
- Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis
- Tibial nerve dysfunction
This list is not all-inclusive.
- Bleeding (minimal)
- Infection at the electrode sites (minimal risk)
Trauma to the muscle from EMG may cause false results on blood tests, including creatine kinase, a muscle biopsy, or other medical tests.

CrockPot Fish Chowder Recipe
34 comments:
yum! this looks really good. Do you have to use the cream? Can you use whole milk instead? Half and half?
- February 15, 2008 at 7:15 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Ginny,
It was good! We're having the leftovers for lunch. I separated half of it and gave it to my grandparents without any cream. They liked it.
The cream added a soft silky texture to the soup, that felt really nice on my tongue.
that sounds weird.
I would think whole milk or half and half would do the same thing, but you might need to add more than a cup.

As Steph mentioned, we did all enjoy this chowder. I ate two bowls before I could stop to tell her how great it was. I highly recommend this one and no, I'm not just saying all of this to keep my wife happy. If the kids will eat it, it has to be something special.

just wanted to let you know that the link from your alphabetical list of recipes to this recipe isn't correct - you've got an extra http in the url. I'm glad I was able to locate this recipe via the Sweet potato one.
They all look so good - I think I'll have to try them all soon. I hope you're able to get a book deal out of this, because I'd buy it!

Boo hoo my crockpot finally died, so will have to have to buy another one just to try this recipe....it looks excellent.
We always buy frozen fish filets and our fave fish is whiting so we`ll be using that.
I`m also another one who makes home made chicken broth. I use the ends of onions and their skins as well as whole garlic cloves. Whenever I make fried chicken I buy the leg quarters and cut off the boney parts on the thighs to save for my broth.
I have a freezer full of Ziploack bags filled with onion ends, chicken carcasses and skins from onions lol

I made this chowder the other day and just popped in to let you know that we LOVED it. I added a tablespoon of crab boil seasoning and used scrod, shrimp, and clams for my fish. Definitely a keeper.
- July 27, 2008 at 1:00 PM
- Dianna said...
A great recipe. Don't be scared to try it. Its simple. I cut all my veggies and fish by hand, we like chunky chowder.
I used frozen catfish nuggets, thawed and cut into spoon sized pieces.
I added Dill, Sea Salt, Fresh Ground Pepper and 2 Bay leaves.
I added 1 small can corn, drained.
Added 2 cans chicken broth (not 3)
I added 1 cup frozen shrimp, thawed and tails taken off.
This chowder was yummy, even a friend dropped by and had a bowl of chowder, she gave me compliments. Nice.

thanks, Dianna, for reporting back!

Hi all - The recipe looks really yummy - especially for those cold fall days. Talk about comfort food...
By the way, Pampered Chef parties are still going strong. I should know since I'm a consultant and have been showing off the Food Chopper for two years now! If you're interested in seeing a catalog or something, let me know, okay? I'd be happy to help you out. www.pamperedchef.biz/karenhemmes
Happy eating!

I made this today and it turned out delicious. I used frozen tilapia and homemade chicken stock, and left out the shrimp. It wasn't exactly a pretty color (probably in part because my stock was quite cloudy, and perhaps because I left the skin on my potatoes?), but the taste was just great. Thanks for the recipe!
- October 26, 2008 at 4:59 PM
- Rachel said...
This was really yummy.... but I'm the only one who ate it. After smelling fish cooking all day, my husband and daughter couldn't stand to eat it, and our house still smelled like fish the next day. I'd recommend putting it outside/in the basement next time.
I used the Little Dipper to deodorize the house, though, so the crockpot redeemed itself!

- rbmunki423 said...
OMG, that was SO good, Stephanie. I have to admit I added scallops & used a whole pint instead of 1/2. Obv more fattening, but it made it more souplike & less stew like. Even my fiance's picky 88 year old grandmother liked it.
- January 29, 2009 at 4:28 PM
- Shewi128 said...
I just tried this recipe because my husband said he loves fish chowder, and I wanted to see if I would like fish in this way. However, our house reeked of fish all day, and it was so unpleasant neither of us could eat the soup. Plus, my husband put in milk, not cream or half-in-half. I couldn't even sleep because of the fish smell. So, I recommend to anyone who tries this that you must love fish and the fish smell.
- March 2, 2009 at 8:41 AM
I made this yesterday for my husband for his lunches this week and he LOVED it. Thanks for the great recipes!!!!! The Buffalo Chicken Lasagna Rocks!!!

I recently discovered your blog, and this was the first recipe I decided to try! It was wonderful- thanks! I did notice that there are green onions in the photo of the ingredients, but they're not listed in the recipe. Happen to remember how many you used?
I'm looking forward to trying more recipes from your site!
- July 21, 2009 at 6:22 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
huh! I wonder if I ever used them? I looked through my notebook I used when I jotted down the recipes and I don't see it listed. I can't imagine it would hurt to add them, and if I did in fact, it would have been 2.
I do know that I've made this a few times since (it's my 7 yr old's fav!) without the green onion.
oh what a dork I am.

This was SOOO good. Thank you so much! You've given me the confidence to cook fish! :)
- October 20, 2009 at 10:00 AM
We just finished devouring big bowls of this chowder. Yummy! I added two leeks, some mushrooms and some crushed tomatoes just to clean out the fridge. We didn't have the corn or shrimp on hand. I used 35% cream :-)
- December 2, 2009 at 5:09 PM
I love this recipe!! I use a lot more broth (8 cups!) and increase all the rest of the ingredients as well to accomodate my appetite, serve three others AND have leftovers. I have added quite a bit of spices to the mix - 2 tsp each of paprika and coriander powder, 1.5 tsp each of tarragon, thyme, curry, celery powder and rosemary leaf powder. I do the 10 hour cook then remove as much of the fish chunks and various veggie chunks before I smooth it out with the immersion blender. Add 2 cups of the cream and lots of shrimp.... mmmmm goood!!! --- Scot

Loved the fish chowder. Using what we had on hand,I made some slight modifications/substitutions: 4 large potatoes, 3 long skinny carrots, turkey broth, half-n-half, Phillips Seafood Seasoning, and no shrimp. It was still amazingly wonderful, and just the thing to come home to after a busy day on a cold winter night! Next time I think I'll try adding clams.
Thanks for this!

I fixed this last night and everyone loved it. My son suggested adding sausage and old bay seasoning next time. It would taste more like low country boil.

WOW! I am trying this for company the day before Thanksgiving. (Hubby requested it for his grandparents.) I am Alaskan and ONLY use AK seafood (none of that farm-fish for me!) I usually make my chowder on stovetop (and have for years) and this looks so similar, including the cream at the end and putting it on high! Yay, I get to visit while it crocks!
Side-note to those who had a "fish smell" in their home...PLEASE don't buy fish that smells like "fish." That is just gross. I have fished commercially for 31 years of my life (salmon, shrimp, halibut, crab) and I have to say when you purchase FRESH fish or even fresh-frozen fish it shouldn't really have a smell, just like fresh ice! lol. Go back and ask your seafood guy for Alaskan seafood. They should make it available and it is SO good for you!
- November 13, 2011 at 10:11 AM
I made this the other day. I used frozen Alaskan cod pieces from TJ's and a bag of their "seafood mix" (shrimp, calamari, scallops) that I added towards the end. I used homemade seafood stock that I made with shells from a crab feed, so there was some flavor in the broth. I also used milk instead of cream, which worked fine (although next time I'd go with cream or 1/2 & 1/2). Very yummy, and the whole crock pot full cost about $10!

Going to make this, but I'm a pescetarian! No other meat for me. So, I'm hoping I can use veggie broth instead... ????

text: Let the Value Amaze YouEasy-to-use and easy-to-hold, the PowerShot A550 gives you 7.1 Megapixels, a 4x Optical Zoom Lens, an ISO 800 feature for expanded low-light shooting and a DIGIC II Image Processor with iSAPS technology for beautiful pictures and great performance. Plus, there's even a Fast Frame Rate Movie Mode. Power is never a problem, because the A550 uses standard "AA" batteries. Great features at a great price - it's what makes the A550 such an amazing camera.

Did you try running linuxconf in console mode and see if your problem is with the gnome-linuxconf GUI rpm? Did you install the gnome-linuxconf rpm? Does this happen under KDE, Gnome or both? I checked bugzilla and I don't see anything related to the problem you are describing.
Linuxconf has been officially depreciated by RedHat. I don't use it and haven't since RH 6.0. I will install it on my RH 7.1 system and see if locks up in anyway.
