Younger Next Year for Women: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy - Until You're 80 and Beyondby Chris Crowley
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Co-written by one of the country's most prominent internists, Dr. Henry "Harry" Lodge, and his star patient, the 73-year-old Chris Crowley, Younger Next Year for Women is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. This is a book of hope, a guide to aging without fear or anxiety. Using the same inspired structure of alternating voices, Chris and Harry have recast material specifically for women, who already live longer and take better care of themselves than men. New material covers menopause and post-menopause, as well as cardiac disease, osteoporosis, sexuality, and more.
This is the book that can show us how to turn back our biological clocks—how to put off 70% of the normal problems of aging (weakness, sore joints, bad balance) and eliminate 50% of serious illness and injury. The key to the program is found in Harry's Rules: Exercise six days a week. Don't eat crap. Connect and commit to others. There are seven rules all together, based on the latest findings in cell physiology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and experimental psychology. Dr. Lodge explains how and why they work—and Chris Crowley, who is living proof of their effectiveness (skiing better today, for example, than he did twenty years ago), gives the just-as-essential motivation.
Both men and women can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, then continue to live with newfound vitality and pleasure deep into our 80s and beyond.
Now, a women's edition. A New York Times bestseller with 115,000 copies in print in hardcover, Younger Next Year is the breakthrough program for men to turn back their biological clocks and live healthier, more active lives into their 80s and beyond. Experts believed, the press raved:
"An extraordinary book. It is easy to read and the science is right." —K. Craig Kent, M.D., chief of vascular surgery, New York–Presbyterian Hospital
"Brain-rattling, irresistible, hilarious . . . it could change your life."—Washington Post
But the fact is that women have even more to gain from Younger Next Year. Just as the average woman lives longer (three decades past menopause) than the average man, the average woman has more anxiety about aging. Younger Next Year for Women is a book of hope. Though keeping the same lively, alternating voices—Chris Crowley's rough-and-ready passion for the cause, Harry Lodge's cool, convincing science—the book is recast to bring its revolutionary findings about staving off 70% of the normal decay associated with aging specifically to women. It covers menopause and postmenopause at length, cardiac disease, osteoporosis, sexuality, even finances. It adapts its simple, lifesaving motivational rules—Exercise Six Days a Week, Don't Eat Crap, Connect to Other People—to contemporary women's lifestyles. And brings to its message a refreshing bluntness that says yes, you have come a long way, and you've got a longer way to go. Now enjoy it for all it's worth.
Smart women don't grow older. They grow younger. A book of hope, Younger Next Year for Women shows you how to become functionally younger for the next five to ten years, and continue to live thereafter with newfound vitality. How to avoid 70 percent of the normal problems of aging and eliminate 50 percent of illness and injury. And how to live brilliantly for the three decades or more after menopause. The key is found in Harry's Rules, a program of exercise, diet, and maintaining emotional connections that will be natural for you, as a woman, to implement. And the results will be amazing.

WINTHROP - Santas elves are alive and well at Victory Baptist Church in Winthrop.
The church is one of the local sites where collections are being taken for Operation Christmas Child, an effort in which shoeboxes wrapped in colorful paper are filled with toys, school supplies, hygiene items and notes of encouragement and sent to children in other countries by any means necessary, whether its boat plane, dog sled and even elephant.
National Collection Week for the program, which is a project of Samaritans Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham, will be held from Monday to Nov. 25.
This aspect of Samaritans Purse started in 93, said Shirley LaGarry, one of the volunteers who is participating in the effort at Victory Baptist Church, which is labeled as a relay center to collect items.
Among the others working with her is Miriam McKinnon.
Miriam and I talked about this before. We think we may have started (at Victory Baptist Church) around 95, Ms. LaGarry said.
It was on a small scale at first. We werent actually as involved as we are now. Weve been a relay center for quite a number of years, Ms. McKinnon said.
She said churches or organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts and Kiwanis, bring gift-filled shoeboxes to the church, where volunteers there are responsible for putting them in cartons and sending them by tractor-trailer to a collection center in Plattsburgh.
This is actually a world-wide mission, Ms. McKinnon said. Its about giving to children that have really never had anything but hope.
For Victory Baptist Church, one of their focuses is on school supplies, according to Ms. LaGarry.
Over the years Miriam and I have done a lot of conferences and spoken with a lot of the people involved. Weve found there is a great need for school supplies. We found that many of these children cannot even participate in school without supplies. Its a big drive in our church. Each box gets crayons, paper, pencils with erasers and pencil sharpers. The older children get colored pencils and the younger children get markers, she said.
We have heard stories of children who were trying to erase their paper and refuse them, Ms. McKinnon said.
Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 100 million shoebox gifts to suffering children in more than 100 countries since 1993. Now in its 20th year, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect another 9.8 million gift-filled shoeboxes this year.
A lot of these shoeboxes work toward poverty-stricken areas and orphanages. Weve always included toothpaste and toothbrushes and we try to put stuffed animals in so a child has something to love on. Flashlights are another great thing that can go, Ms. McKinnon said.
Everything thats donated is put to good use, she said.
When they go from the relay center to the collection center, they want the integrity of the box to stay with what the person intended. Nothing is wasted, Ms. McKinnon said.
She noted that some families that have received the shoebox gifts over the years now live in the United States and still take part in the program - this time packing up items to go to others.
Some have even gone back to the country and helped distribute the shoeboxes, she said.
Theyve told us this is often the very first gift that many of these children have ever received. Their stories just give you goose bumps. We really have no conception of what it truly is like, Ms. LaGarry said.
A lot of people ask us, do any of these boxes stay here in the United States? The answer is some boxes do stay here in the United States. However, this is international relief for children. I know that there are children in this country that suffer. I know from living in St. Lawrence County my whole life that we are not in a very economically uplifted community. I know there are people who do without, she said.
The local collection effort has been very successful over the years, according to the women. Ms. LaGarry said that last year 6,684 boxes were collected in the four-county Northern Adirondack region consisting of St. Lawrence, Franklin, Clinton and Essex counties.
St. Lawrence County alone collected 2,210 boxes. Thats over 30 percent of the total shoeboxes collected in four counties, she said.
Ms. McKinnon said they make an effort to keep others informed about the program.
Shirley and I speak to churches and some of the community groups if theyre interested, to tell them about Operation Christmas Child. Weve gotten to know a lot about people in the area, she said.
Its truly a community effort, Ms. LaGarry said. There are a lot of businesses locally that donate.
The third week in November is when collections take place at relay centers around the country, when individuals or groups can bring in boxes to contribute to the effort.
If you cant get out of your home and have a computer, you can go to swww.samaritanspurse.org and type in Operation Christmas Child. You can actually build a box right on line, Ms. LaGarry said.
Ms. McKinnon goes on line to pay for the churchs shipping - $7 a box - and receives a bar code that tracks the packages.
Because of the bar codes, we will actually get an email saying what country our boxes went to. Its really an awesome program, Ms. McKinnon said.
Operation Christmas Child is only one aspect of Samaritans Purse. Another one of their efforts, Childrens Heart Project, arranges life-saving operations for hundreds of children who live in countries where the required medical expertise and equipment are not available. They provide airfare for the children, a parent and a translator, and locate evangelical Christian churches and families willing to host the groups.
These boxes are often a segue into communities, Ms. LaGarry said.
They try to teach people to be sustainable. Operation Christmas Child is just a piece of Samaritans purpose, Ms. McKinnon added.
The Victory Baptist Church collection site will be open to accept donations from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 22, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 23, 12 to 4 p.m. Nov. 24 and 8 to 10 a.m. Nov. 25. Theyre located at 601 state Highway 11C in Winthrop.

Video: Extended King Interview
BRUNSWICK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Senator-elect Angus King says even if Republicans and President Obama come to some sort of agreement about the "fiscal cliff" issue, he and others in the new Senate will need to make a lot of decisions about the details.
And King says he hopes to be part of that process.
King, who is an independent, said during the campaign that he wants to be a bridge between the two parties in Congress. King will be sworn into office in two weeks, and says he still thinks he can make a difference.
King told NEWS CENTER Wednesday he has met with thirty Senators since being elected, including leaders of both parties. King will caucus with Senate Democrats, but says he's also had positive talks with a number of Republicans.
"As I ...talked about various issues," said King, "and my views on taxation and other things, I could almost see the wheels turning in some of their heads and saying "this isn't exactly what we thought. This guy might be somebody we can work with.""
King says he's excited about the challenge of working in the Senate and eager to begin work. However, he also said he has come to realize the "heavy responsibility" he will carry when dealing with such serious national and global concerns.

Fair Trade Honey
Lather up for shiny, lustrous locks
Over half of this shampoo consists of Fairly Traded honey, which is beautifully moisturizing and gives hair shine and luster. All that honey has allowed us to make this one preservative-free, too! While 50% is honey, 20% is linseed mucilage, which has a lovely texture and is moisturizing and conditioning. Fairly Traded Honey is suitable for almost everyone, but with all these moisturizing ingredients, it is specifically lovely on hair in need of moisture.
Work a small amount into a lather and rinse thoroughly. Follow up with a LUSH conditioner for soft tresses.How to use
Hard water? No problem! This shampoo softens and cleanses in a perfect balance for hard water areas, where calcium build-up can be harsh on your hair.
Preservative-free! All that honey allows us to make this one preservative free. What an excellent invention! Use it fresh!
Fairly Traded Honey:We're working with a supplier in Zambia at the moment, but we'll need so much honey that we may also buy from other Fair Trade suppliers around the world, too.

A Polk County trio has been arrested after deputies say they were running a moonshine operation.
73-year-old Joe Aaron, 31-year-old Ricky Barnes and 28-year-old Jacob Mayes were arrested on Thursday on charges of possession to sell liquor, conspiracy to violate beverage law and unlawful possession of alcohol beverage containers.
Deputies said they searched the home on Carl Boozer Road in Haines City where they found marijuana, a moonshine still next to a toilet and assorted flavors of moonshine.
"The illegal moonshine racket in Polk County is alive, but not-so-well," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. "Popcorn Sutton would not have been proud of these bootleggers—it wasn't a very sophisticated operation, but they were producing, distributing, and selling illegal moonshine in the area."

With just five days to Tuesdays election, the four candidates for Watertown City Council are in the final stretch.
Between now and then, the four candidates incumbents Jeffrey M. Smith and Teresa R. Macaluso and political newcomers Cody J. Horbacz and Stephen A. Jennings said they plan to spend a lot of time getting their message out.
The three men will continue going door to door. All four candidates also have lined up a series of media interviews over the next several days, they said.
Im just sticking with my message, said Mr. Smith, whos been on the council for 12 years.
He said he still intends to talk about the citys rosy financial picture, the completed work on infrastructure and the fact that he believes the city is headed in the right direction.
On Wednesday, Mr. Horbacz, 27, garnered the endorsement of former council candidate Jasmine W. Borreggine, who ran an unsuccessful campaign in Septembers primary. They were 2004 Watertown High School classmates. In a press release announcing the endorsement, Mrs. Borreggine said they have known each other for 13 years.
I feel confident that our city would be blessed to have him take on this leadership role, she wrote. Cody would bring a much needed fresh perspective.
Previously, another unsuccessful primary candidate, Rodney J. LaFave, endorsed Mr. Jennings.
On Sunday, about 100 supporters joined Mr. Horbacz at a fundraiser and get-together for supporters at the Pewter Mug bar.
It kicked off the last week of the election cycle, Mr. Horbacz said.
Mr. Smith is the only one of the four who has television commercials, with about 120 that are airing before the election. Mr. Smith is joining Ms. Macaluso and Mr. Horbacz in doing radio advertising. The four candidates are doing other advertising.
Mr. Jennings and Mr. Horbacz use social media, as well. Mr. Jennings also plans to give out a special gift for trick-or-treaters tonight to mark his campaign, he said. So far, he has knocked on about 1,200 doors, concentrating on areas with past voters, he said.
Im getting a positive reaction, he said, adding that his get-the-vote-out strategy will include phoning friends, neighbors and family members to remind them to vote.
While she does not like going door to door, Ms. Macaluso said, she plans to do some in the waning days of the campaign. She got her message out mostly by sending out mailers that laid out her accomplishments during her first four-year term and her plans for the future. She intends to continue talking to customers at her business, Brew Ha Ha, 468 Coffeen St.
Over the course of the campaign, Mr. Horbacz raised and spent the most money, as he took in about $2,500 and had $2,400 in expenditures. Ms. Macaluso and Mr. Smith did not do any fundraising and used their own money.
Ms. Macaluso spent about $1,400 and Mr. Smith about $1,200. The three filed financial disclosure forms with the state Board of Elections. Mr. Jennings did not, saying he was told he did not have to since he spent less than $500.
All four candidates are expected to attend a meet-the-candidates luncheon at noon today at the Italian-American Civic Association, Bellew Avenue, sponsored by the Womens Council of Realtors.
The two candidates with the most votes will be elected to four-year terms on the council. Voters can vote for two candidates.

It's important to get a proper night's sleep because it affects a persons productivity, memory, reaction time, alertness and patience. But there's no one rule to follow to get the best sleep possible. Since sleep is so personal, what is helpful for one person might not work for another. Individuals need to see what works for them out of these tips from sleep experts. A person might want to try one, two, or a combination of tips to get a good, quality sleep. However if sleeping problems persist, a doctor should be consulted. There might be a sleep disorder that warrants medical attention.
Maintain a regular bedtime and wakeup schedule. Try to stick to that sleep schedule, even on the weekends. Consistency helps alert the body to when it's time to go to sleep and wake up.
It's best to sleep only at night. Daytime naps will steal hours from nighttime slumber.
Create an ideal sleep environment. It should be comfortable and cool. The room should be quiet, without the noise of a radio or TV. Use a fan or earplugs to mask sounds like trains, airplanes, traffic or a snoring partner.
The mattress on the bed should not be too small, soft, hard or old. Look for one that offers adequate comfort and support. If there are two people sleeping there, make sure there's enough room for two.
Finish all exercise and consumption of food, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate and nicotine a few hours before bedtime. All of these items can interfere with sleep. If a person does need to eat indulge in foods that trigger serotonin, which makes the body tired. Try bread, cereal, milk, tuna or turkey. For a beverage, sip warm milk or herbal tea (such as camomile or ginseng).
Physical activity promotes a better sleep. Just be sure to exercise in the afternoon or early evening. Otherwise excess energy could be a problem.
Don't ponder a list of worries before you go to bed. Do all that before you are ready for bed so you aren't up half the night thinking about them.
Use the bed just for sleeping. Light from computers or televisions can inhibit sleep. If reading before going to sleep, use a low-wattage bulb, such as a 15 watt.
If a person wakes up in the middle of the night they shouldn't look at the clock. When people know the time it makes them agonize over it.
When a person can't sleep a hot shower or bath can be conducive to sleep because it relaxes muscles.

As the snow melts (eventually), you may find surface tunnels on your lawn. This can be a disturbing image and is most unpleasant. Voles, also known as field mice will tunnel under the snow, eating the grass and shallow roots of your lawn. The result of this frozen dinner feast is a maze of tunnels created where the mice traveled. The extent of the damage can be minor such as leaves and thatch being eaten all the way to roots and shoots a more severe result of mouse lawn damage.
Your best bet is to let the area recover in April and do some seeding in May once the soil warms up enough. Depending upon the extent and depth of the damage, you may not have to do anything, or as in this picture above, the soil is exposed likely requiring some modest efforts to restore the grass to "factory condition".

PRICE - Our loving mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt, Iola Mae Olsen Rutherford, age 79, passed away peacefully at Castleview Hospital on Sept. 9, 2012.
She was born July 17, 1933 in Price to Hyrum and Ada Noyes Olsen.
On April 12, 1951, she married the love of her life Donald Rutherford. They shared thirty wonderful years, having four children together before his passing in Feb. 1981. They were later sealed in the Provo LDS Temple on Oct. 17, 1991.
Our mother was a feisty, fun loving woman whom you couldn't help but love. She loved her family and they were the center of her world. She would always brag about her grand and great grandchildren. Mom was a wonderful cook and was known for her famous apple pies and delicious lasagna. She loved to tend to her yard keeping it beautiful all the time, but her roses were her favorite.
Iola loved taking long walks all around town, which always ended with a Pepsi seated comfortably in her chair watching lifetime movies. She was an excellent housekeeper for many years and always had a waiting list of people wanting to hire her. Iola was giving, caring and very dedicated in everything she did. Later in life she loved to do word searches and if there ever was a competition she would have won the gold. Mother will be forever missed and her memory will live in our hearts forever.
She is survived by her children, Donald (Doris) Rutherford, Columbia, Mo.; Brenda Lofley, Wellington; Randy Rutherford, California, Mo.; her only surviving sister, Margie (Terry) Byrge, Carbonville; 13 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Preceded in death by her parents, Hyrum and Ada Noyes Olsen; husband, Donald Rutherford, Sr.; brothers, Max Dean, Howard, Raymond and Kay Olsen; sisters, Eva Chavez and Berniece Parry.
"This is not goodbye, It's a see you later."
Funeral service, Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012, 11 a.m., Price Third LDS Ward, 303 W. 500 S., Price. Family will be at Mitchell Funeral Home (233 E. Main Street, Price) Wednesday evening 6 - 8 p.m. and at the church Thursday one hour prior to services. Interment, Wellington City Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home where are welcome daily and may share memories of Iola at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

- How to Read a Study Record
The estimated global prevalence of hepatitis C (HCV) infection is approximately 3% (170 million individuals). In Canada there are an estimated 240,000 people infected with HCV. The current study addresses the hypothesis that neurocognitive and neurochemical abnormalities may occur in individuals with HCV-infection who do not have liver cirrhosis or vasculitic neuropathy, and this may result from a direct effect of HCV on the Central Nervous System (CNS). The purpose of this study is to assess whether infection with the Hepatitis-C virus is associated with changes in thinking skills and brain chemistry, in patients who do not have liver cirrhosis. In addition, we are examining whether such changes in thinking skills and brain chemistry are reversed by antiviral treatment. We are also studying whether factors such as fatigue and depression have an effect on thinking skills in people with Hepatitis-C. In order to take into account the impact of having viral hepatitis, we will be comparing the results of the Hepatitis-C group to the results of a group of patients with Hepatitis-B, and to a group of individuals who do not have Hepatitis.

Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American Historyby S C Gwynne
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the tradition of andlt;iandgt;Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, andlt;/iandgt;a stunningly vivid historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West, centering on Quanah, the greatest Comanche chief of them all.andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;S. C. Gwynneand#8217;s andlt;iandgt;Empire of the Summer Moonandlt;/iandgt;andlt;bandgt; andlt;/bandgt;spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined just how and when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled andlt;iandgt;backward andlt;/iandgt;by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands. So effective were the Comanches that they forced the creation of the Texas Rangers and account for the advent of the new weapon specifically designed to fight them: the six-gun.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;The war with the Comanches lasted four decades, in effect holding up the development of the new American nation. Gwynneand#8217;s exhilarating account delivers a sweeping narrative that encompasses Spanish colonialism, the Civil War, the destruction of the buffalo herds, and the arrival of the railroadsand#8212;a historical feast for anyone interested in how the United States came into being.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;Against this backdrop Gwynne presents the compelling drama of Cynthia Ann Parker, a lovely nine-year-old girl with cornflower-blue eyes who was kidnapped by Comanches from the far Texas frontier in 1836. She grew to love her captors and became infamous as the and#8220;White Squawand#8221; who refused to return until her tragic capture by Texas Rangers in 1860. More famous still was her son Quanah, a warrior who was never defeated and whose guerrilla wars in the Texas Panhandle made him a legend.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;S. C. Gwynneand#8217;s account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told. andlt;iandgt;Empire of the Summer Moon andlt;/iandgt;announces him as a major new writer of American history.
"Journalist Gwynne tracks one of the U.S.'s longest-running military conflicts in this gripping history of the war against the Comanche Indians on the high plains of Texas and Colorado. The Comanches stood for decades as the single most effective military force on the southern plains; their mastery of horseback warfare and their intimate knowledge of the trackless desert of the plains stymied the armies of Spain and Mexico, and blocked American westward expansion for 40 years. Gwynne's account orbits around Quanah Parker (ca. 1852 — 1911), the brilliant war chief whose resistance raged even as the Comanche, increasingly demoralized by the loss of the buffalo and the American military's policy of total annihilation, retreated into the reservation. Rigorously researched and evenhanded, the book paints both the Comanches and Americans in their glory and shame, bravery and savagery. The author's narrative prowess is marred only by his fondness for outdated anthropological terminology ('low barbarian,' 'premoral' culture). That aside, the book combines rich historical detail with a keen sense of adventure and of the humanity of its protagonists." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
A sweeping narrative about the rise and fall of the Comanche, the most powerful and influential tribe in American history.

"We're very proud to be The Official Wine of the British & Irish Lions and right from the start we felt that it was important that this relationship allowed us to leave a lasting legacy in our local community. It has also been great to get some of the other sponsors involved to really leave a lasting impact on this school," said FirstCape director Greg Wilkins.
As part of FirstCape's unveiling, Lions squad members Lee Mears, Luke Fitzgerald, David Wallace, Stephen Ferris, Ronan O'Gara, Leigh Halfpenny, Shane Williams, Lee Byrne and O'Connell took part in a coaching session with the children.
HSBC ambassador and two-time Lion Jason Robinson joined the HSBC Penguins Coaching Academy members in teaching 100 children from the school. This was part of HSBC's commitment as Principal Partner of the Lions Tour to investing in the South African community.
HSBC also donated some kit to the children which was collected by Bolton School as part of their SOS IRB Kit Aid scheme. Rhino Rugby also kindly donated some equipment for the school's big day.
"Our students are very passionate about rugby and to meet these rugby heroes is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them. Our new facilities will have such a positive effect not only on our students but on their families and our wider community and as such we are very grateful to FirstCape and the Lions for their involvement," said Simondium's headmaster William Keet.
Lions Tour Manager Gerald Davies was delighted to see the progress made at the school since he first visited a year ago.
"We came here last year to view the school before work had started and seeing the difference that FirstCape's legacy project has made, we are immensely proud to have been involved. To formally open the facilities today is a very special for the Lions, knowing that we have been able to leave a lasting legacy for these children and their community," he said.
It was an experience which Ospreys and Wales full back Lee Byrne said he will never forget.
"These kids have so little but they are full of spirit and just so excited every time they pick up a rugby ball. It's a real privilege to be here to share this day with them, pass on a few tips and see them enjoy this new facility," he said

In 1 Peter, we read:
1 Peter 3:7 (NIV)
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
What exactly does "the weaker partner" mean? Does the Bible state what ways are they weaker?
Also, does this still hold true today?

A breakdown in a magnet system during testing of the Large Hadron Collider last week may have the massive physics experiment off-line until next year. The LHC needs powerful magnets to contain and direct its beam of circulating protons. Those magnets need to be cooled to extremely low temperatures using liquid helium to achieve a superconducting state. "Preliminary investigations indicate that the most likely cause of the problem was a faulty electrical connection between two magnets, which probably melted at high current leading to mechanical failure," CERN officials said in a statement. That resulted in a large helium leak inside the tunnel containing the accelerator.
CERN Director General Robert Aymar called the problem "undoubtedly a psychological blow." Restart of the LHC is scheduled now for early spring, 2009. We'll find out what went wrong, and why it may take months to start up the LHC again.

Bloomberg News reporter John Lauerman volunteered to have his DNA sequenced by Harvard researchers to demystify the process for the public. What he didn't expect to uncover was that he possessed two gene variants--one linked to rare blood disorders and the other to a higher risk of Alzheimer's.
Below: Bloomberg News reporter John Lauerman talks about the results of his genome sequencing. Lauerman discussed the report with a team from Harvard Medical School's Personal Genome Project, who will use the results in their efforts to better understand variations in the human genome and their implications for health and disease.

We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

This is a long piece and slightly curved, but it's worth the time, raises some good points about influence, and reads relevant to some of our discussions here about art, aesthetics and so on.
Basically, the author is saying that technology and abstraction have enabled millions to become 'artists' in their own rights (sort of). To wit:
"So, for many art forms, it is indeed true that "anyone could do that", in the sense that anyone has the technology or technique to hand to execute the idea. It has become possible for more and more people, often untrained, to express their creative imagination as doing so has become less and less dependent on technical expertise.
However, not everyone can have the ideas, the eye or the ear to come up with something worth making real. That core of invention remains elusive, beyond most of us most of the time. The best answer to the moan "I could have done that" remains "but you didn't". No one else came up with the geometric lines and block colours of Mondrian before he did, not because they lacked the skill, but because they lacked the vision. Technology and trends in art have not, therefore, made really good art more democratic, they have simply widened the membership of the elite."

Maryland Natural Areas
Maryland is often referred to as "America in Miniature" because so many unique landscapes are found within its borders. The Maryland Natural Areas initiative seeks to identify the best remaining natural areas found within our state.
These Natural Areas are truly special places in Maryland. Voluntary recognition as a Natural Area carries a commitment to sustainable management of a given area to conserve the natural features that the area was established to recognize and protect. In most cases, current management practices have maintained the exceptional natural features that distinguish these sites.
In the end, the goals of this effort are to identify and conserve Natural Areas for future generations while increasing public awareness of these special natural places.
Click Here to locate & explore some of Maryland's finest Natural Areas.

RA Dickey leads NL in wins, K's and innings pitched
Yesterday against the Marlins, R.A. Dickey threw a complete game, giving up one run on five hits with 10 strike outs.
In seven starts after the All-Star break, Dickey was 2-1, but with a 5.36 ERA and a .347 BAbip, during which the team was just 3-4.
Nevertheless, he still leads the National League in wins, strike outs and innings pitched…
According to multiple reports, Dickey recently told Terry Collins that he does not want to risk his health by pitching on short rest, all in effort to win a Cy Young award or get to 20 wins.
"We want this guy in the rotation next year," Collins told reporters before yesterday's game. "If we were in the hunt, it might be really different. But I think we need to be a little more cautious, and make sure he is ready for next year." Dickey agreed, telling reporters, he would pitch on short rest in a pennant race, to help the team win games, but he is not interested in doing it just to win an award.
That said, if Dickey changes his mind, and wants extra opportunities in September, Collins said he is happy to revisit it.
Michael Baron, ContributorI thought Dickey going on short was a bad idea to begin with. If he pitches well enough in his remaining scheduled starts, he should win at least 20 games anyway, and should win the Cy Young naturally. Pitching on short rest could have thrown off Dickey's routine (as well as the routines of the other starters), and risked his health. Also, there's no guarantee it would generate positive results. The team has fallen way out of the playoff race at this point, and so there is no reason to gamble and take risks with Dickey and the rest of the starting pitchers. Besides, throwing off the entire rotation so to get Dickey more opportunities to rack up wins a) taints the race, and b) caters to the individual achievement which is not what a team sport is truly about. This is the right call.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead WriterI agree with Mike, and I'm sure most everyone else reading this will agree as well. At this point, he's competing for hardware with Gio Gonzalez, Johnny Cueto, and maybe Braves closer Craig Kimbrel. Sure, Collins could pitch him on short rest and maybe jack up Dickey's win total and strikeouts, but – who knows – that could work against him. There is no guarantee. He's on pace to win 20 anyway, and – in my opinion – leading in the Cy Young race. So, just stay on target and let him do this thing…

(NBC NEWS) -- Hundreds of thousands jammed the National Mall Monday for the president's ceremonial second term swearing-in.
In his inaugural address President Obama echoed themes sounded by Lincoln and King.
"While freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth," Mr. Obama said..
The president urged action on the deficit, global warming and keeping kids safe.
"We reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future," he said.
We can, he said, find a way.
"We are made for this moment, and we will seize it - so long as we seize it together," the president promised.
Many who came were moved.
"Hopefully its kicking off a great second term and a new direction for the country," said Anshu Choudri, who came to Washington from Chicago for the inauguration.
"It is just great seeing all the fellowship and fun," added Morris smith of Virginia.
The traditional bi-partisan lunch gave lawmakers time to chew over the president's call for unity.
Then the Obamas headed for the inaugural parade.
Many in the crowd had waited hours for the prime spots on Pennsylvania Avenue.

If the story is true, a missing engine mount is no little thing.
...Why wouldn't it be true?
Because stories get stuff wrong all the time. Must be significant to get that type of fine.
There is a good possibility here of that. One of our contributors here works for them in MEM, and while this was before his time there, he cannot see how it would fly, let alone make 11 flights, without that mount
I don't know how many there are but it is a pretty serious piece of structure to leave off.
Man told me there were only 2 per engine
I honestly don't see how the engine was level and didn't vibrate like heck if this is true.
We really couldn't figure it out either. That's why we wonder if thee isn't some more to this story
lots and lots of duct tape
Spare parts is a sign of a job well done.
Take the bus.....
As long as it doesn't have "air" in front of it
[This poster has been suspended.]
at least management still get paid regardless of safety.
And a bonus for maintaining parts inventory.
Like most mechanics the engine starts and there are parts left off maybe they need retraining or leave the sauce alone when they leave work.
Talk about hi speed stuff. This dates back to 2010, 2 1/2 years. There is a gentleman among us now that will probably have an opinion here, if he was around at that time.
"Boyd Butler : Repost"......i got this one Boyd
Hey it took off and landed 11 times, must not be that important? Two out of three ain't bad huh?
As it states,MISSING PART.Whats the point in parts esp,if they are missing and 11 flights ?? $275,000 I think says to me that the second engine must be important!!!!!!
This is the third fine in the last couple of years. I think they were fined $625,000 for having the flt crew do maintenance on a door instead of ground crews. $415,000 for not adequately monitoring a crack on another CRJ. No wonder they are in bancrupcy protection. Another subsidiary, Colgan, faced a 1.9 million dollar fine. No wonder they shut it down last October.
Great way to keep the FAA running. At this rate they will be a profit making enterprise for the government. (the only one)LOL
Don't know how they can be too profit making when moving at the usual speed of government. This is from back in October of 2010, 2 1/2 years ago, and to boot, with Pinnacle in BR, all they can do is file notice of the claim and in or out of BR, once it ever gets argued,they will collect less than half that, if any. You mentioned the earlier fines. WHAT, out of those, did they wind up colleting.
(Duplicate Squawk Submitted)
FAA Seeks Fine Against Pinnacle Over Missing Part
The FAA is proposing a $275,000 civil penalty against Pinnacle Airlines of Memphis for allegedly operating a Bombardier CRJ900 on 11 flights without all required parts fitted. According to the FAA, Pinnacle mechanics failed to replace a part required in the approved aircraft maintenance manual when they replaced the aircraft's right engine. A source close to the Pinnacle flight crew told AIN on condition of anonymity that the missing part was the second engine mount used to hold the powerplant in place.

Antiquities of Jordan
Discover the natural and archaeological wonders of Jordan
Tour Details
- A Tailor-Made Journey to India and Nepal
- The Forbidden City: Official Spaces and Private Quarters
- Journey from Bangkok to Bali: Following the Spirits
- Haydn Seek
This tour is specially designed for a small group of 16 to 24 Smithsonian travelers and offers outstanding travel value. Prices include airfare, airline taxes, fuel surcharges, and departure fees.
Jordan offers visitors a dazzling diversity of ancient sites and great natural beauty, as well as a tradition of warmth and hospitality. Join us to experience ancient and modern Jordan, beginning in Amman, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Here you'll enjoy a guided tour of its bustling streets and meet local residents during a private lunch in a family's home. Travel north through scenic pine forests and olive groves to Aljoun, stopping en route at the preserved Roman city of Jerash where you'll witness a spectacular battle reenactment of fighting gladiators and chariot racing.
Marvel at the architectural feats of the Nabataeans, who carved their buildings into the rose-red cliffs of Petra, a World Heritage site. Enjoy two full days to explore Petra's dramatic Treasury, monastery, 3,000-seat theater, colonnaded streets, rock-cut tombs, and shrines. In the nearby shadow of Wadi Rum's otherworldly rock formations, a Bedouin driver takes you on a jeep ride through the sweeping desert expanse, where you'll stay overnight in a private tented camp. And at the Dead Sea, a site of much historical, spiritual, and geological importance, you can allow the water's restorative powers leave you feeling renewed and refreshed as you conclude your journey. Limited to 24 participants.
Day 1- 2 — Depart the U.S. and arrive in Amman, Jordan
After a connecting flight in Istanbul, arrive in Amman late this evening and transfer directly to your hotel.
Day 3 — Amman
After this morning's briefing about the journey ahead, set out on a "behind the scenes" walking tour to get acquainted with this lively Middle Eastern capital. Meet locals engaged in nature conservation at the Wild Jordan Centre then visit the Ottoman-style King Hussein Mosque rebuilt in 1924 on the site of an ancient temple. Continue through the busy streets and vegetable markets near the Nymphaeum fountain (c. A.D. 191); the 6,000-seat Roman Theatre (c. A.D. 170) still used today; and the Citadel, offering excellent city views. After lunch in the home of a gracious Amman family, return to your hotel mid-afternoon. Tonight enjoy a welcome dinner at a local restaurant. (B,L,D)
Day 4 — Ajloun, Jerash
Today travel north through scenic pine forests and olive groves to the town of Ajloun, site of the well preserved Qalaat Errabadh ("Hilltop Castle"), built in 1184 for protection from the Crusaders, with grand views of the Jordan Valley. Continue on to the Roman ruins of Jerash, dubbed the "Pompeii of the East" for its splendid state of preservation. After lunch together here explore the colonnaded streets, theaters, churches, and temples that comprise the largest Roman site outside Italy. (B,L)
Day 5 — Madaba, Mt. Nebo, Shobak, Petra
Traveling from Amman to Petra today, stop en route in Madaba, "City of Mosaics," known especially for the Byzantine-era mosaic map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. See this ancient relic covering the floor of a church here then continue on to the important pilgrimage site of Mt. Nebo, where Moses is believed to have been buried overlooking the Jordan Valley. Visit Mt. Nebo's 4th- and 6th-century Byzantine churches, and maybe catch glimpses of Jerusalem rooftops in the far distance. From Mt. Nebo proceed to the imposing 12th-century Crusader castle at Shobak, one of Jordan's most important early sites. Early this evening we reach the "Lost City" of Petra. (B,L,D)
Day 6 — Petra
A UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World," the archaeological site of Petra fills even seasoned travelers with jaw-dropping wonder. Set out this morning to explore this "rose-red city half as old as time," a collection of red-hued temples, tombs, civic buildings, an entire city carved into the sheer rock face of the Sharah Mountains by the Nabataeans more than 2,000 years ago. Having prospered from antiquity to the Byzantine era, Petra then was "lost" to all but desert dwellers until its rediscovery in 1812 by a Swiss traveler. Entering through the Siq, the long, narrow rock chamber that betrays no hint of the splendor inside, spend the day exploring Petra: the dramatic Treasury (a key backdrop in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade), the Monastery, 3,000-seat theater, colonnaded streets, rock-cut tombs, and shrines. (B,L)
Day 7— Petra
Return to the ruins at Petra this morning for further touring together. This afternoon is at leisure for independent exploration or to relax by the hotel pool or in the spa. Dinner tonight presents a special opportunity to prepare a typical Jordanian meal alongside local women and a chef at Petra Kitchen, where the furnishings, décor, and tableware all are handcrafted by Jordanian artisans. (B,D)
Day 8 — Petra, Wadi Rum
This morning visit nearby Al Beida ("Little Petra"), an ancient suburb whose ruins of tombs, temples, houses, and waterways carved directly into the rock walls resemble those at Petra itself. It was here during antiquity that caravans from Jerusalem and the Phoenician coast would travel to trade, and sometimes to settle, before continuing on to Petra. Following your tour stop for lunch at a local restaurant then begin the two-hour drive south to Wadi Rum, the dramatic landscape of pink and white sands, pre-historic valleys, and towering sandstone monoliths rising from the desert floor. This is the homeland of the once-nomadic Bedouin, who now live in protected villages. And it was here that British army officer T. E. Lawrence and Prince Faisal bin Hussein set their headquarters during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire in 1917 – and where filmmaker David Lean shot parts of his 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia. Late this afternoon embark on a sunset Jeep ride in the starkly beautiful moonscape that stands empty and silent, timeless and isolated. Dine and sleep tonight at Wadi Rum in a comfortable private tented camp. (B,L,D)
Day 9 — Wadi Rum, Dead Sea
Believed to have been the site of five biblical cities, including Sodom and Gomorrah, the Dead Sea boasts a legacy of historical, spiritual, and geological import. This salt lake lying between Israel to the west, Jordan to the east ranks as the world's deepest hypersaline lake and second-saltiest body of water. Learn about this rare geographic phenomenon at the Dead Sea Panorama, a geological museum with magnificent views of the Dead Sea and the hills beyond. Reach your hotel early afternoon; you're free to "float" in the therapeutic waters or enjoy the hotel's spa facilities. (B)
Day 10 — Dead Sea, Bethany Beyond the Jordan
The Bible comes to life on today's excursion to the Baptism Site at Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the area along the Jordan River where John the Baptist lived and Jesus was baptized. Since 1996, archaeologists have unearthed 20 churches, caves, and baptismal pools dating from the Roman and Byzantine periods. This afternoon is at leisure; tonight gather for a farewell dinner at the hotel. (B,D)
Day 11 — Depart for the U.S.
Depart this morning for the Amman airport and your connecting flights to the U.S. (B)

Braves Acquire Luis Ayala
By Steve Adams [April 10 at 1:13pm CST]
The Braves have acquired right-hander Luis Ayala from the Orioles in exchange for minor league lefty Chris Jones, the Orioles announced (on Twitter).
As Roch Kubatko of MASNsports notes (on Twitter), the move allows the team to call up outfielder Chris Dickerson and makes it easier to keep Rule 5 pick T.J. McFarland on the 25-man roster.

CWS: "Still humanitarian gaps in Japan relief"
Although overall relief efforts now are moving ahead as planned along the country's quake and tsunami-decimated northeast coast, CWS and its Japanese partners are working to fill gaps, providing food, water, health and medical services, hygiene items, clothing and fuel.
In Japan's Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, where more than 5,500 of its 163,000 citizens were lost, shops are opening and road repairs are beginning in a city that three weeks ago was covered in water. But, reports humanitarian agency Church World Service, there are still "humanitarian gaps."

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) – Japan, by the numbers, looks like this: 11 finance ministers in seven years; a national debt topping one quadrillion yen, interest rates stuck near zero.
Yet nowadays a different set of figures draws investors — rising stock values. The Nikkei 225 JP:NIK is up almost 30% this year.
Treasury's Lew on Japan's economic reforms
U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew talks with WSJ's David Wessel about Japan's recent pledges to make structural and monetary reforms.
A leadership change and the start of unprecedented collaboration between the government and the Bank of Japan have grabbed the investing world's attention.
This month, the BOJ announced an aggressive plan to buy assets (mainly Japanese government bonds), accounting for about 60% of its GDP. It's an effort to double Japan's monetary base and drive inflation up to 2% within two years — vital goals for a country frozen by deflation.
For sure, attention breeds attention. Investors have been flocking to Japan. Many Japan stock funds are up around 15%-20% so far this year, according to investment researcher Morningstar Inc. One of the biggest Japan exchange-traded funds, WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund US:DXJ which in addition to buying Japanese stocks also bets against the yen US:USDJPY has soared more than 24%.
But Japan's stock surge is giving investors pause as they contemplate their next moves.
"Japan hadn't been a focus for years. Investors could hardly spell the names [of Japanese stocks now in demand] and now they're wondering: If I missed the first leg up, is there another leg? And for how long?" says Martin Jansen, head of international equities at ING U.S. Investment Management.
Jansen says the frenzied bulls have it right so far, especially those willing to scrutinize among export stocks and diversify with real estate, banking, and brokerage shares.
Foreign vs. domestic
No economy of this size rises from sleep without wobbling. For Japan, its tests will come with how fast the global economy perks up and how well officials manage to inflate Japan's economy while keeping its export-dependent sectors competitive.
Big customers like China and the U.S., and the collective emerging markets, will drive revived demand for Japanese cars, construction equipment, electronics, and more. That is, they'll need to. There's no ignoring the mid-April headlines showing Chinese growth data had missed the mark and the ensuing tumble — and considerable rebound — for global stocks and commodities. Price competitiveness can't be the only feature of an export-led recovery where thin margins have been a hallmark of Japan's "lost" decades. Volume and market share need to improve too.
Outside of exports, there's a lot riding on revived interest in Japan's real estate, stock market, and the banks and brokerages driving those businesses.
"We're just at the beginning of a trend in which public and private pensions and the major institutions are running strategic allocation reviews now favoring equities," Jansen says.
Summer sizzle?
Any financial sector uptrend hinges on currency and interest-rate policy management and these "managers" face a hefty confidence measure come July.

In any mode, during gameplay, blow into the microphone. Your character will yell their shout, that comes from when they successfully trigger a chain in Fever Mode.
At the title screen, blow into the microphone to cause a number counter to appear at the bottom of the touch screen and a red Puyo to fall from the top screen to the bottom screen. Drag the stylus around to bounce the Puyo off it to keep it from falling into oblivion. The counter is for your score, which is the amount of times you\'ve bounced the Puyo and kept it in the air. Other Puyo will fall if you keep the first airborne for a little while, and you must juggle them all in order to retain your score. The counter is reset to zero every time you lose a Puyo. Tapping a Puyo will pop it and the game will end. The game also ends when a Puyo falls off the screen. To restart the game, simply blow into the microphone again.
When you have the GBA version of Puyo Pop Fever in the bottom slow of the DS at the same time, you can access special bonus pictures of each character in the Option menu, under the Gallery.

For those not familiar with Kim Stanely Robinsons Mars Trilogy (among others) there is a new form of greens that get called Reds on Mars.
They basically want to keep everything Red and largely untouched.
Well yesterday I actually met someone who advocated leaving the Moon as it is now, as an international reserve of sorts. Not just precluding mining, but any future landings.
Apparently messing with the moon at all will deeply offend the universe or something.
Has any one else had similar experiences?

I was at a British Interplanetary Society annual conference in the early 1980s, and Martyn Fogg presented a paper on the terraforming of Mars. A member took advantage of the call for questions from the floor to lambast us all for even daring to discuss it. Apparently studying Mars while keeping it exactly as it is would 'ennoble our species', whereas spreading life throughout the universe would not.
Maybe we are talking about the same person. Is he a philosopher with an Italian-sounding name, initials E C ?
