All over the world, small farmers are being forced off their land to make way for corporate agriculture, writes GRAIN - and it's justified by the need to 'feed the world'.But it's the small farmers that are the most productive, and the more their land is grabbed, the more global hunger increases. We must give them their land back! A recent comprehensive survey by GRAIN, examining data from around the world, finds that Read more...

Chromotherapy in CancerCategories: Health
In 2007, I posted two articles on this site suggesting that cancer had something to do with the energy mechanism of the human body. I am coming back to this through a comment on one of those articles by Viorel Bungau, a family medical doctor in Romania.
The two previous articles are:
Cancer and ATP: The Photon Energy Pathway
Could cancer be a functional deviation of the cellular energy production mechanism that is open to correction by relatively simple means instead of a genetic mutation that is passed down through cell division? Heinrich Kremer, MD, says that this is indeed the case. His hypothesis of a photon-mediated cellular energy pathway may turn out to substantially add to our understanding of what cancer is, and why such natural substances as curcumin may be effective cancer fighting agents.
Cancer: The ATP-Photon Hypothesis
Could cancer be a result of the functional degradation of a cellular photon absorption pathway that is basic to the production of ATP, the cellular energy molecule? And could tumor cells merely be executing an age-old survival program they retained from the time of unicellular existence? An interesting new hypothesis of cancer causation spells out why some cells all of a sudden start dividing to form tumors, and how that urge to sustained growth could likely be 'switched off.
Chromotherapy: The healing power of colors (image found here)
Here (with some minor edits) is what Dr Bungau originally posted as a comment on the second article...
Dear Professor, Medical practitioner,
I am passionate about cancer research. After years of study, we came to a hypothesis to be verified experimentally in collaboration with a field center. After many attempts (direct approach), no one has agreed to do this experiment. Please help make this research proposal possible. If proven true, it would change the medical approach to diagnosis and treatment of cancer and beyond.
Yours sincerely,Continue reading "Chromotherapy in Cancer"

Inclined Bed Therapy: Tilt your bed for healthful sleepCategories: Health
Inclined Bed Therapy or IBT is the brain child of Andrew Fletcher, who discovered in the 1990's that gravity actually helps to drive circulation of the sap in trees. From there, it was a short step to ask whether this was also true for animals and humans. This posed the question "why on Earth do people sleep flat?"
So Andrew suggested that people slightly raise the head end of their bed and see if any changes in their health are noticeable.
This is one of the numerous anecdotes ... stories of personal success people have reported after raising the head end of their bed by just five or six inches."Over two years ago I sat in the armchair reading a small advert which asked people to raise their bed by six inches at the head and to reply and tell what benefits had been noted. (No explanation was given)
At the time I could not move my neck to my left or right side and it ached continuously. I was unable to sleep at night as i could not get comfortable. I was only able to turn by gently easing myself. It took about three to four turns. Getting out of bed was a major obstacle. I needed help to dress and undress.
I spent most of my nights in the chair with the result that I was always tired and had no energy.
My problem is osteoporosis of the upper and lower spine. I had tried hormone replacement therapy and wasted a small fortune with bone specialists and osteopaths.
I was resigned to living my days out as best I could, having been told that there was nothing more that could be done for me.
I expected nothing but had nothing to lose, so Harry raised the bed by six inches. We did not take it very seriously but were happy to try anything.
On the fourth night I had the first full nights sleep since I don't remember when. By the end of the week I was sleeping naturally and turning over with ease. My dressing was a problem no longer, each day it became easier. I was able to turn my head without pain, right or left, to see the clock without getting up from my chair.
There have been many other benefits too. I have worn glasses from the age of seven years and I am now sixty eight years. Last year was the first time I was told that there was a small improvement.
My hair appears thicker, my hair brush needs cleaning less often.
Harry had a large suppurating scar since he was six years old. He has had to continually dress it all of his life. But now it has healed up. His ear which constantly gave him trouble with a discharge has now cleared up completely.
We both feel that the clock has been put back for us!"

European Food Safety Authority cherry picks evidence - finds Aspartame completely safeCategories: Health
After conducting "one of the most comprehensive risk assessments of aspartame ever undertaken", the European Food Safety Authority has released its verdict on 10 December 2013.
The agency came to the conclusion that aspartame and its breakdown products are "safe for human consumption at current levels of exposure".
The EFSA press release says that this was an important step forward in "strengthening consumer confidence in the scientific underpinning of the EU food safety system and the regulation of food additives".
So the message seems to be that we should all just move on to other things. Leave aspartame alone and better yet - drink some of that "diet" Coke.
But should we really?
Could perhaps the power of money and influence behind big food have had a determining effect on that decision? We cannot be certain what exactly caused the EU regulator to give aspartame a clean bill of health rather than to acknowledge the sweetener's widely known dangers. Fact is - they disregarded every single study that showed aspartame to have adverse effects.
Prof. Erik Millstone of the University of Sussex Science and Technology Policy Research Unit believes that EFSA has arrived at its conclusion by opportunistic interpretation of the studies that were reviewed. Most of the industry funded studies were given straight A's, while independent studies were - without exception - given an 'F' rating. Millstone says that
"The EFSA Panel opportunistically accepted at face value almost all of the studies suggesting that aspartame is harmless, while entirely discounting every single study indicating that aspartame may be harmful, even though the quality, power and sensitivity of many of the studies that were discounted were markedly superior to those of the contrary studies deemed reliable."Continue reading "European Food Safety Authority cherry picks evidence - finds Aspartame completely safe"

Did Aspartame kill Cory Terry?Categories: Health
Cory Terry Died After Drinking Red Bull, $85 Million Wrongful Death Suit Claims, is the title of a recent article in the Huffington Post that reports on a rather unusual death. Cory Terry downed a Red Bull when he finished a basketball game and a few minutes later he died of a heart attack.
Red Bull comes in different formulations, the dark blue normal and a - supposedly more healthy - 'diet' or sugar free version, which is the light blue one. To be sure, we don't know which one Terry preferred. Was it the normal or the diet version that killed him?
Betty Martini believes it was 'diet' and that the damage was done by a specific ingredient: the aspartame that supplants sugar in the diet version. Betty says she knows of other cases of athletes having heart attacks after consuming soft drinks that contain aspartame. She has been trying to alert press and authorities to the dangers of the methanol-containing sweetener.
I am reproducing her lengthy email here because she goes into considerable detail.
If you love diet drinks or know someone who does, read this or let them read it. The data might save your life.

Retroviral particles in human immune defenses - is AIDS orthodoxy dead wrong?Categories: Epidemics
We have previously published articles by the Australian AIDS-and-biology researcher Cal Crilly, and here is yet another installment.
Cal is someone who digs into scientific studies. He does biological detective work and finds gems that hide in plain view, things we don't normally understand and that even the experts do not see as they are not trained to put discordant facts together and question basic assumptions.
What this new article tells us is that retroviruses - the same kind that are thought to cause immune deficiency or AIDS - are useful and necessary for our immune system to function correctly. That of course tends to leave the hypothesis of a viral causation of AIDS in grave trouble. I say 'hypothesis' because no one has proven, or even come close to a coherent explanation for, the mechanism of AIDS causation by HIV.
How does a retrovirus that is by nature a benign particle, cause devastation of the immune system?
Here we have several scientific studies published in the world's finest journals, which attest to the fact that retroviruses are part and parcel of the human organism, that they are needed to provide certain defensive capabilities against invaders, and that they are not pathogenic.
So we might ask ourselves why HIV tests (thought to indicate the presence of a retrovirus) are still performed, and why doctors are still recommending the use of toxic anti-retroviral drugs to kill what, rather than a foreign invader, appears to be part of normal human metabolic processes.
Cal Crilly lays it out for you, citing and linking the sources...Continue reading "Retroviral particles in human immune defenses - is AIDS orthodoxy dead wrong?"

Vaccine damage in Great Britain: The consequences of Dr Wakefield's trialsCategories: Pharma
More and more evidence is coming to light that Dr. Wakefield was on the right track when he researched the connection between the MMR vaccine and intestinal inflammation in the vaccinated children.
Was Dr. Andrew Wakefield Right After All?
Wakefield's Lancet Paper Vindicated
New Published Study Verifies Andrew Wakefield's Research on Autism
But how did Dr. Wakefield first get into the sights of the UK vaccine industry and how was the campaign against him mounted?
Martin Walker, the author of "Dirty Medicine" and a number of other books on health, closely followed the case that eventually resulted in Dr. Wakefield's exile from the UK. He describes how it all happened and how the vaccine manufacturers were able to bring down the full weight of government and the courts against both Wakefield and the many parents who were suing for recognition of the damage vaccines had done to their children.
"As a campaigner of 40 years, I think that what surprises me most about Dr Wakefield's case, is how easily and how completely we were defeated by the pharmaceutical companies, how over a thousand parents and children were written out of history together with their adverse drug reactions. Part of this defeat for the parents, the children and the doctors concerned was grounded in an unfortunate understanding that pharmaceutical company executives were decent people and humanitarians. In fact the pharmaceutical companies, their corporate structure and their relentless pursuit of profit, their fraudulent practices represent one of the last remaining shibboleths, in our society which need to be completely reformed, democratised, divested of vested interests and made public from top to bottom."
We do learn from experience. That is why we should pay attention to how this case went so wrong and why the campaign to ruin those researchers and to leave the damaged children by the wayside was mounted in the first place. So it won't happen again.
Here is Martin Walker's essay.Continue reading "Vaccine damage in Great Britain: The consequences of Dr Wakefield's trials"

Final Stats
DULUTH, Minn. -- With the WCHA in its final season, Wisconsin (1-2-1, 1-0-1 WCHA) and Minnesota Duluth skated to a 2-2 tie in overtime on Saturday night in what could be the final meeting of the two teams as WCHA members.
The Bulldogs (2-3-1, 0-1-1 WCHA) controlled the game for the entirety of the first two periods, but the Badgers were able to battle back and come up with a two-goal third period to force the draw. The comeback ensured they'd leave Duluth with a three-point opening weekend in WCHA play.
By skating to a win and tie, the Badgers became the first UW hockey team to open up WCHA play with three points since the 2005-06 team.
A night after recording his fourth career shutout, UW goalie Joel Rumpel (Swift Current, Saskatchewan) battled through early-game adversity, enduring 37 shots on goal and came up with 35 saves.
The worst of the storm that Rumpel had to endure came over the first two periods when UMD recorded a total of 26 shots on goal. Shutout the night before, it didn't take the Bulldogs long to light the lamp Saturday night inside the AMSOIL arena.
Just two minutes into the first period, Tony Cameranesi was in the right place at the right time as a blocked initial shot bounced to Cameranesi who finished in an empty goal to give UMD the 1-0 lead.
The Bulldogs finished a 2-on-1 for their second goal. With 5:00 left in the second period, Keegan Flaherty took the kept on the 2-on-1 rush and perfectly placed the puck between Rumpel's arm and body to extend the UMD lead to 2-0.
Down two goals with a period to play and needing to make something happen, the Badgers responded a minute and a half into the third period with a great sequence of pressure on UMD goalie Matt McNeely.
Just 1:36 into the third period, Wisconsin made it a game. A UMD defender skated up the middle in front of his own goal and freshman Tyler Barnes (Eagan, Minn.) put the body on him to turn the puck over. Mark Zengerle (Rochester, N.Y.) took it from there and knocked it off the bar and in to cut the Bulldogs lead to 2-1.
With the lead down to a goal, UW's penalty kill kept the door open on a tie game. The Badgers killed five UMD power plays on the night, including three in the third period.
With 5:13 left in the third period, Mersch came off the boards, fought through a check, skated three steps to the high-right circle and took a wrist shot to score the game-tying goal and knot things up at 2-2.
The Badgers would pick up their fourth power-play opportunity of the night with 1:46 left in the third period after cross checking was called on UMD's Keegan Flaherty, but the Bulldogs came up with the kill and sent the game into overtime.
Both teams skated to a scoreless extra period, with Minnesota Duluth recording the only shot on goal.
The Bulldogs outshot the Badgers 37-21 for the game.
Wisconsin returns home to the friendly confines of the Kohl Center next weekend to host Colorado College in its home-opening series, Nov. 2-3.

Price Reductions
Under the GSA Schedules Program, GSA has determined that prices under GSA Schedule contracts are fair and reasonable. With regard to Schedule contracts for services, while GSA has determined that the labor hour (hourly rate) for a labor/skill category is fair and reasonable, GSA has not determined that the level of effort or mix of labor/skill categories proposed in response to a specific requirement represents the best value. Therefore, when buying services that require a statement of work, the ordering activity must consider the level of effort and mix of labor/skill categories proposed for a particular requirement, and make a determination that the total price is reasonable and represents the best value.
Reasons to seek price reductions include instances where the ordering activity has determined that a supply or service is available elsewhere at a lower price, or when establishing Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to fill recurring requirements. The potential volume of orders under BPAs offers the opportunity to secure price reductions/increased discounts, regardless of the size of individual orders. Ordering activities should also seek price reductions when the annual review of a BPA reveals that estimated quantities/amounts have been exceeded.
While ordering activities are encouraged to seek price reductions for any size Schedule contract order, they are required to seek price reductions if an order requirement or the estimated total value of orders expected under a BPA exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold. In response to the ordering activity's request for a price reduction, the contractor may or may not elect to offer a lower price than their Schedule contract price.
If further price reductions are not offered, the order may still be placed if the ordering activity determines that it is appropriate, since GSA has already determined the contract prices to be fair and reasonable.
It is a proven best practice that ordering activities should seek additional price reductions/increased discounts and/or concessions when placing an order under a GSA Schedule contract. Contractors will often "sharpen their pencils" to obtain a large Schedule contract order. GSA Schedule contractors are not required to pass on to all Schedule users a price reduction extended only to an individual customer for a specific order.
Ordering activities are advised to seek further price reductions when requirements warrant. Price reductions allow ordering activities to take advantage of the flexible and dynamic pricing in the commercial marketplace. By requesting a price reduction, the ordering activity can maximize its use of GSA Schedule contracts by taking advantage of such factors as:
- Competitive forces;
- Technological changes;
- Labor conditions;
- Supply and demand;
- Industry sales goals; and
- Inventory reductions.
The ability to seek additional price reductions and concessions allows the government not only to leverage its combined requirements to obtain favorable prices, terms, and conditions, but also to leverage agency requirements to take advantage of quantity or spot discounts available in a fluid, commercial pricing atmosphere.

"You have never written a truly spiritual novel," the cop told him. He spoke slowly, enunciating each word with care. "It is your great unrecognized failing, and it is at the center of your petulant, self-indulgent behavior. You mock the God who created you, and in doing so you mortify your own pneuma and glorify the mud which is your sarx. Do you understand me?-Steven King, Desperation
Johnny opened his mouth, then closed it again. To speak or not to speak, that was the question.
The cop solved the dilemma for him. Without looking up from the wheel, without so much as a glance into the rearview mirror, he placed the double barrels of the shotgun on his right shoulder and pointed them back through the wire mesh. Johnny moved instinctively, sliding to the left, trying to get away from those huge dark holes.
Although the cop still did not look up, the muzzles of the gun tracked him as precisely as a radar-controlled servomotor.
He might have a mirror in his lap, Johnny thought, and then: But what good would that do? He wouldn't see anything but the roof of the fucking car. What the hell is going on here?
"Answer me," the cop said. His voice was dark and brooding. His head was still bent. The hand not holding the shotgun continued to tap at the wheel, and another gust of wind hammered the cruiser, driving sand and alkali dust against the window in a fine spray. "Answer me now. I won't wait. I don't have to wait. There's always another one coming along. So ... do you understand what I just told you?"
"Yes," Johnny said in a trembling voice. "Pneuma is the old Gnostic word for spirit. Sarx is the body. You said, correct me if I'm wrong --" Just not with the shotgun, please don't correct me with the shotgun. "-- that I've ignored my spirit in favor of my body. And you could be right. You could very well be right."
He moved to the right again. The shotgun muzzles tracked his movements precisely, although he could swear that the springs of the backseat made no sound beneath him and the cop could not see him unless he was using a television monitor or something.
"Don't toady to me," the cop said wearily. "That will only make your fate worse."
"I..." He licked his lips. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to--"
"Sarx is not the body; soma is the body. Sarx is the flesh of the body. The body is made of flesh -- as the word was reputedly made flesh by the birth of Jesus Christ -- but the body is more than the flesh that makes it. The sum is greater than the parts. Is that so hard for an intellectual such as yourself to understand?"
The shotgun barrel, moving and moving. Tracking like an autogyro.
"I...I never..."
"Thought of it that way? Oh please. Even a spiritual naïf like you must understand that a chicken dinner is not a chicken. Pneuma...soma...and s-s-s--"
All of which is to say: the body without spirit is flesh. The spirit, if it exists without body, is a ghost. The soul is the shoreline where the body meets the spirit. It is only in the joining of spirit (or perhaps you prefer to call it will) with body, that we see the emergence of soul.

If I ruled the world, Plentiful sex certainly sounds appealing. But then it comes to mind that I might create rules to protect my sisters, daughters, and wives - not because I'm a good person, but because I don't like the idea of others having sex with my wife. I certainly don't let other people drive off with my car without permission! So let's revize our slogan -- "if men ruled the world, there'd be sex readily available, but OUR women would be off limits to other guys." We might even create a class of women whose job it is to provide sex.
But there are even more insidious underlying assumptions here: what women want isn't under consideration, and perhaps women only deny men sex as a cruel way to exercise power over men -- certainly there's no other conceivable reason not to have sex with me! There is no room in this reality for women who are reasonable independent beings who happen to not want sex with me.
Even deeper, it is commonly understood that all men think about and want sex all the time. And sure, if a hot chick in a short skirt wandered by right now, I would not be thinking of golf. But in fact, that common understanding is utter nonsense. In high school I had a strong interest in sex. Like a thirsty sailor on a desert island, I occasionally felt that I'd do anything for it. Then sure enough, there was a girl who would have had sex with me. But I could not have a serious conversation with her, ever, and so I avoided spending time with her, in spite of the obvious advantages such an arrangement would have brought to me. While all men face real urges, it's not at all as if these urges control you. I'm no Ghandi: anything I do, anyone can do.
So given that every time a man has sex, it is a voluntary choice rather than some type of undeniable primal instinct nonsense, then the times a man does have sex are quite telling. When a man like Dominique Strauss-Kahn (French economist, lawyer &politician) who has every opportunity to get sex that a man can have: money, power, being french... When a man like that commits rape, it is sheer, pure hatred of women that motivates him. He could have sex with a wife, a lover, several lovers and a hooker. But none of them would feel the fear and revulsion that he wishes to cause. None of them would suffer enough to take his mind of the sheer worthlessness of his own existence.
"So for all the girls out there, its possible to be a good girl. Im going to try to make it cool." -Reese Witherspoon
It's hard to attack someone as nice and naive as Reese, but she's a bit of an idiot, you know? She thinks that girls having sex is the problem, when in fact the problem is slut-shaming girls who have sex. Girls, and I hope this is news to no-one, have always had sex. If they ever stop, humanity will cease to exist. So the good-girl fetish is the problem. Girls should be allowed to enjoy sex, and enjoy their bodies, and yet still have autonomy over their bodies. A girl who is "asking for it" is never the problem -- perverts who break the law and cause pain and suffering are the problem.

Far better put off by physical inability than by weakness of character. And once disappointment has left its sharp pangs, success comes easily in other venues. It is only after great failure that one achieves great success, and then only from great success does one truly learn fear.
Or perhaps this paraphrase of Tricia McMillan says it best, "I've learned there are time when one must never go back, and times when you must always go back. I have not learned to tell the difference between such times."

In devastated areas, drinking water is difficult to find, and often suspect. Far better to avoid exposing babies to extra germs whenever we can.
There are many gray areas in life, but raising healthy happy babies is not one of those areas. No matter how horrible a disaster, no matter how risky life may become, there is no substitute for old fashioned mama milk. Formula is damaging to baby brains, significantly lowering their expected IQ. It also lacks vital antibodies and enzymes, making them more suspect to disease.
No matter how much money companies like Nestle spend to spread falsehoods about the "benefits of formula," the cold hard fact is that cow milk supplemented with vitamins will never be as good for your baby as the food your mama-ry glands will provide.
It isn't pure instinct though, you'll need to talk to a lactation consultant and/or mamas with experience. And while breastfeeding is difficult in the first few days, it quickly becomes an integral part of your day, requiring none of the shopping, refrigerating, heating and mixing of those synthetic milk products.

Get excited iBooks users! The iOS jailbreak known as Corona that was released last month for the iPhone4S and iPad is now updated to support Apple's e-reader, iBooks. Be sure to get your updates though, as it is the build for version iOS 5.0.1.
But what does this new jailbreak upgrade mean for your Apple experience? While not as gratifying as playing with a new acquisition from the phenomenal family of accessories for each of the tablet, iPod media device and smartphones that will be covered by this new software update, it could address some of the issues occurring during browsing sessions on these same devices.
Because if you have experienced the launcher crashing on occasion, it is this upgrade that will doctor it up. There are some other bugs that will be fixed as well, but the addressed launcher is the biggie (for the really technical of you out there, the build is also included in redsn0w 0.9.10b4). So, with this update you need not fear having to remove your favorite Apple handset or tablet from its cozy protective case to play tech detective.
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
For those of you who already have jailbroken iPhone4 or iPad devices, Corona can be found and run through the Cydia store. Another option is downloading the updated OS X for Windows version (redsn0w) which will have the same impact.
And if you do not yet possess this untethered jailbreak, you can find more information on compatibility for iPhone 3GS, iPhone4, the first generation iPad, iPod Touch 3G and the iPod Touch 4G. Clearly this development team has been hard at work to bring this jailbreak technology to Apple's various device offerings of smartphones, tablets and media players. Now, if we can keep that open concept movement to empower customers at other levels of purchasing and freedom of customization, amazing innovation is in the works.
Now to await their next upgrade to include iPhone4S and iPad2…

The always entertaining, never predictable Chelsea Handler has been a prominent player in the competitive comedy world since hitting it big in 2007 with her own late night talk show, "Chelsea Lately." Since then, Handler has taken advantage of the opportunity to express her talents through other outlets, which in turn led to a flourishing career as a best-selling author, having penned a string of largely non-fiction books that debuted at No. 1 on the prestigious New York Times Bestseller list including "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" and "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang," "Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me," and "Uganda Be Kidding Me." She also consistently carves out time to return to the road, be it for a stand-up tour or in promotion of her latest effort, and you can be in attendance for the next venture with Chelsea Handler tickets from Vivid Seats.

their recipe calls for 8 oz dried cherries, 14 oz currants, and 22 oz mixed raisins splashed with brandy (not enough to float the fruit, just enough to wet them) and held overnight. Then 12 oz butter, 12 oz brown sugar; creamed. Then add 6 beaten-to-mix eggs to the creamed butter/sugar, then add the dry ingredients which are: 12 oz a/p flour, 1 tsp baking powder, pinch salt, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg. Add 3 oz ground almonds and the zest and juice of a lemon and put it in the oven at 325 for 3.5 hours. I adjusted the recipe to make a 12" round cake and two 10" cakes for their wedding (the 12" is going to be the bottom tier, the top tiers are styro, the other two are kitchen cakes).
So I've been brushing a little brandy on them every few days; but I started to go through books (english cookbooks mostly) and found there's two basic categories of fruitcake (steamed pudds are another topic) - the ones with fruit soaked for days and the ones with the fruit soaked overnight. Since I am one of those who has not had fruitcake (good or bad... well wait - there was this awful thing my sister had got from a Harry and David gift basket but that cannot be the same thing as what I've made!!). I don't know what this is supposed to taste like or what the texture is supposed to be like. The wedding is next weekend, should I stop brushing with brandy soon or douse it right before I put on the marzipan and fondant?
Thanks for the help!
JeanneCake, where is the bride/groom from? Is this a West Indian style fruitcake? Usually when I make mine, I pour the liquor on it as soon as it comes out of the oven. I let it cool in the pan uncovered. Once completely cool, I cover the pan with foil and leave it for 3 days before I turn it out and cover it in fondant. I know the traditional English way calls for a layer of marzipan, but I don't use that. If I were you, I wouldn't wet the day of covering it with the marzipan and fondant... maybe the day before. This allows the liquor to be well absorbed and sorta mellow out. I guess it's all in the preference, but I like my blackcakes to have a smooth taste.

LINCOLN, Neb. (Jan.
22) - The Creighton women's tennis team fell 6-1 at No. 17 Nebraska Tuesday
afternoon to open the 2013 spring dual match season.
The Bluejays (0-1) opened the year with one singles win
in a tough road environment at No. 17 Nebraska (2-0). The host Cornhuskers
jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after claiming the doubles point with a three-match
sweep before claiming five of six singles contests.
At No. 1 doubles, CU senior Anna Kirshenbaum and freshman
Sam Anderson fell 8-2 to Nebraska's Mary Weatherholt and Patricia Veresova. On
court two, the Creighton tandem of sophomore Jennie Hartjes and freshman Karlin
Naslund dropped an 8-3 decision to NU's Maike Zeppernick and Janine Weinreich
to give the Huskers the point.
In the No. 3 doubles slot, the CU team of sophomore Amanda
Noonan and junior Analese Snyder came up short at 8-4 to Nebraska's Izabella
Zgierska and Maggy Lehmicke.
The Bluejays struggled to win games on the singles courts
as Nebraska players surrendered two games or fewer in five of the six matches.
Nebraska's Zeppernick claimed the first singles point
with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over CU sophomore Liz Vermilion on court six. On court
three, Kirshenbaum fell 6-1, 6-1 to Weinreich to give NU a 3-0 lead. Anderson
dropped a 6-1, 6-0 decision on court four to Lehmicke, who claimed the team
match point with the win.
Noonan secured a point for Creighton at No. 5 singles
after Zgierska retired from the match after taking a tight first set at 7-5. Hartjes
later fell 6-1, 6-1 at No. 1 singles to Weatherholt to put Nebraska up 5-1. On
court two, Snyder suffered a 6-0, 6-1 result to Veresova to end the day.
Creighton takes a couple of weeks off from competition
until its next match against another Big Ten foe when the Bluejays travel to
Iowa City, Iowa, to take on Iowa Feb. 8.

Achieving FISMA Compliance with Acquia Cloud [June 19, 2012]
Want to learn more about Acquia's products, services, and happenings in the Drupal Community? Visit our site: http://bit.ly/yLaHO5.
Government websites have it tough. The mandate is: Provide a great user experience, be compliant with FISMA, oh, and cut costs significantly.
Many agencies have discovered Drupal as a key way to provide a great user experience at a lower cost, but further cost cutting is typically found with moving hosting to the Cloud. To date moving agency web sites to the cloud has been impeded by Federal compliance requirements and navigating the Certification & Accreditation (C&A) process can be daunting.
Acquia is here to help. We've designed and implemented a control environment for the Acquia Cloud which fulfills FISMA moderate baseline security requirements in accordance with NIST 800-53r3 and we have additionally included those controls which have been proposed by the developing FedRAMP program which will soon replace FISMA as the C&A process for cloud service providers like Acquia.
But we realize that there's a lot more required than finding a provider that has that box checked.
Acquia is here to help guide agencies to a successful FISMA certification for their Drupal site hosted in the Acquia Cloud. Participants who join this webinar will learn:
* The FISMA certification and accreditation process
* How Acquia Cloud is architected to be in compliance with the standards defined by FISMA and FedRAMP
* What's covered by Acquia Cloud's FISMA documentation
* What controls the agency will be responsible for when they host their Drupal site with Acquia

Heavenly Bodies
In this frothy drama, the heavenly bodies belong to Samantha (Cynthia Dale), a woman determined to open a dance instruction school, and the people who come to learn dance there. Once the deserted warehouse-cum-dance-studio is refurbished, Cynthia's first class already has as much finesse as Fred Astaire at his apogee, so when Cynthia's ideal world is threatened by the owner of a rival health club, it is fairly easy for her students to come to the rescue with their deft dance routines. Life never seems to delve much below the balletic, athletic, or aerobic surface as the adventures of Cynthia, and her students continue along a self-absorbed course.~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

THE MORNING SKATE — Okposo Sounds Off, Revenue Sharing and More
The day ended with quotes such as "today is not a good day," from Union leader Don Fehr and "I don't know what the next step is," from commissioner Gary Bettman. And we're back to the drawing board.
After this, many players sounded off on Twitter, including the Islanders own Kyle Okposo:
We ask for 50/50 split and to honor existing contracts and Gary says we aren't in the same ball park yet they claim in their proposal a…
50/50 split and no rollback…….
Sounds like a similar ballpark to me. Everyone who says we are selfish might want to take a hard look at the owners last proposal.
Saying everything I have, I love our fans and apologize for the situation we are in. Tomorrow is a new day! #smile!
This is a few days old but I've yet to touch on it so I wanted to make sure it gets a mention. The owner's latest proposal from earlier in the week had a good bit of news for the Islanders:
All Clubs in the NHL except the top 10 Revenue Grossing Clubs will now be eligible for Revenue Sharing, including Clubs in large media markets who were previously ineligible (such as Anaheim, New Jersey and the New York Islanders, among others).
As the system currently is, teams that are hurting financially like the Islanders and Devils are ineligible for any revenue sharing due to their close proximity to New York City. To see this finally, possibly, get fixed is excellent news for the Islanders franchise.
Now this is just from a proposal of course, so it may not make it to the final version, but the fact that this is on the table is great news. I'd be willing to bet that revenue sharing — and specifically sharing with a few teams that don't currently recieve it — isn't something the Union would be staunchly against. I get the feeling that this is something that would likely be in a final agreement. The serious question is, of course, to what extent?
There were a few other items in the League's proposal that, if in the final agreement, would have a serious effect on the Isles.
- A proposed cap range of $59.9- $43.9 million
- Players can no longer be buried in the AHL (good for small markets like the Isles, bad for the Rangers with players like Wade Redden).
- Cap requirements can no longer be satisfied with performance bonuses. Say goodbye to keeping players around simply for their performance bonuses.
The Sound Tigers are in action tomorrow in Pennsylvania against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. There's not a whole lot of news coming from Bridgeport at the moment, as things have really been pretty quiet. Casey Cizikas missed a day due to illness but appears ready to go and Jason Clark had a lateness issue, both per Fornabaio.
Yesterday I was on the Kings Men Podcast, an LA Kings podcast with long-time blogger buddy The Royal Half. They're going around the league and chatting with a fan/blogger/other from every team (that's one way to keep busy during the lockout). It was a quick little thing with some, uh, tough questions and some generic ones but it was a fun time. It's an easy listen — only 8 minutes long — and you can check it out here.

Probably the most common type of bilingual homeschooling, Language Learners are English-dominant and learn a second language (Spanish) generally at an early age for greatest success. The second language learning begins in Kindergarten or 1st grade and continues to be developed throughout the entire learning process.
Bicultural Learning
Is different from bilingual learning, but takes a multicultural approach by emphasizing learning about foreign cultures and traditions for a more global learning experience. Homeschoolers may begin learning a foreign language (Spanish) in later years.
So in a perfect world, bilingual homeschoolers would fall under the Partial Immersion category, but the reality is that most land somewhere between Partial Immersion and Language Learning. Wherever your homeschooling journey takes you, the key is to remember that the intentions of your heart and the efforts you put into raising a bilingual child are what define you.

Buzz Phrases and the NY Media
This season was going to be different, Anthony pledged, whether Amar'e Stoudemire was ever healthy enough get on the floor. Melo showed up in shape, Flab Melo no more. Mike D'Antoni andJeremy Lin were out of his hair, replaced by a coach who believed in Anthony's powers of isolation and by a point guard (Raymond Felton) who wasn't about to inspire a worldwide craze.
Lin was busy Friday night going for 21 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in another Houston victory led by James Harden (45 points), and surely that didn't change Anthony's opinion that the Rockets' purchase price of Linsanity was "ridiculous." Felton had his own measure of success against Miami, a team that famously swallowed Lin whole last winter, and his quarterbacking compelled Woodson to praise the way the ball moved "from side to side."
The Knicks did move the ball, no question. But Anthony wasn't among the movers. On muscle memory, he was the primary ball stopper. Miami will surely take that in the teams' next best-of-seven.
"For the most part," Anthony said, "the way we played tonight, the way we shared the ball, the way everybody touched the ball, everybody felt involved in the basketball game."
Tommy DeeCrap like this is why I started this blog in the first place. First of all, who cares about Jeremy Lin? You have a credential at MSG against the World Champs and your focusing on Houston freekin Atlanta? Enough. Lin is gone, and frankly, he's not the catch/make player the Knicks needed to improve, which they showed last night.
To talk about the heat in May is irresponsible at this point. This is a team that is brimming with confidence and just showed the World Champs the door in a game that every "expert" thought they would get blow out in. They didn't… oh no, deadline!! Page hits!!!
Secondly, Melo said those things when Amar'e was playing. Things changed. He has to score. And speaking of scorers, every scorer in the history of the NBA "stops the ball." Great scorers have go to moves to get them on rhythm. They know when they have an advantage in the possession. It's sometimes called "patience" when an analyst is being fair. When a player is missing shots it becomes "stagnant".
Buzz phrases.
Melo is not Lebron and I'm tired of reading from professionals that he has to be. Maybe they should focus on the game they are at and not another one hundreds of miles away.

Among other things, my new job at Aperture Foundation involves overseeing what is published on Aperture.org. In that capacity I have had the chance in recent months to interview artists, curators, and photojournalists and to commission essays and reviews of books and exhibitions. You can see all of it by pointing your browser to aperture.org/blog. Here is a round-up of some of those pieces.
In March, I commissioned my friend Rob Giampietro to discuss the legacy of ECM Records, a jazz label based in Munich whose aesthetic rigors he appreciates in this fine essay.
In April, I interviewed Greg Allen about his curatorial effort "Exhibition Space," which was on view this spring at apexart in New York. We discussed the role of photography in the Cold War space race, and in particular NASA's Project Echo.
In May, I spoke with artist Sara VanDerBeek about her new exhibition at Metro Pictures in New York. I've followed Sara's work since the beginning of her career, and wrote about her for Aperture in 2011. I also commissioned photographer Barney Kulok, who recently published a book on Louis I. Kahn's Four Freedoms Park, to review a new book about Le Corbusier's relationship with photography. He turned in a much broader, more ambitious essay on the relationship between buildings and pictures that I was proud to publish. I also talked to photojournalist Michael Kamber, who was the New York Times's principle photographer in Baghdad from 2003 to 2012. He had just published a new anthology of interviews with combat photojournalists called Photojournalists on War: The Untold Stories from Iraq. I also chatted with photographer Anne Hardy about her exhibition at Maureen Paley in London, where she exhibited, for the first time, standalone sculptures not used in the creation of her photographs. Lastly, in the just-published Summer 2013 issue of Aperture (#211), I introduced a portfolio of photographs by Lisa Oppenheim, whose work I've long admired.
This month, I spoke with an old friend, artist Tony Feher, about the newest iteration of his twenty-five-year survey exhibition, and about the process of looking back on more than two decades of artmaking and life. An edited version of our conversation was published on Artforum.com.

My wife, 3 kids and our Dog Dexter (Rhodesian Ridgeback) have decided to adopt a stray.
The dog was found by a friend and taken to a vet. He was in bad shape form not eating. He has been given all his shots and fixed in the last 4 weeks since he has been found.
I am trying to track down what he may be? He seems to be 1-1.5 years maybe?
Any ideas on his breed mix? I think he has some terrier in him.
Thank you for any help!
