Implications of Child Undernutrition on the Social and Economic Development of Egypt, June 2013.
Quick Facts on Egypt Study
- Today, more stunted children in Egypt than 10 years ago
- As many as 81% of all cases of child undernutrition and its related pathologies go untreated.
- 51% of the health costs associated with undernutrition occur before the child turns 1 year-old.
- 11% of all child mortality cases in Egypt are associated with undernutrition.
- Child mortality associated with undernutrition has reduced Egypt's workforce by 1%
- The annual costs associated with child undernutrition are estimated at 20.3 billion Egyptian pounds (US$3.7 billion), which is equivalent to 1.9% of GDP.
- Eliminating stunting in Egypt is a necessary step for development in the country.
21 May 2013
The 2013 The Status of Poverty and Food Security in Egypt: Analysis and Policy Recommendations report serves a follow-up to a previous report published in 2011.1 It analyses data from the 2011 Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIECS) by Egypt's Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), with a view to providing an in-depth picture of the food security situation and the vulnerability of households in Egypt, particularly subsequent to the 2011 revolution. The HIECS included data from 24,000 households collected by means of a household questionnaire. It is supplemented by a panel sample of 8781 households who were visited in both 2008/09 and 2010/11. Panel data facilitates analysis of change that occurred in specific households between the previous HIECS survey (2008/09) and the 2011 survey. Both samples are representative at governorate level.
The specific objectives of this study are to: a) define food-insecure or vulnerable households in Egypt; b) identify how many are food-insecure; c) identify where they live; and d) identify the underlying correlations and repercussions of food insecurity; and e) put forward associated policy recommendations.
31 May 2011
A series of shocks affected Egypt in 2011, including internal civil disturbances, the rise of food prices and a massive return of migrants from Libya. A review of secondary data was conducted to update the knowledge on the food security situation in Egypt, identify information gaps and support decision-making on food security interventions.
31 October 2008
This vulnerability analysis report updates and expands the 2005 analysis conducted in Egypt, providing a reliable resource for the Egyptian government, donors and other interested parties in the design of policies, strategies and programmes.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
|Functional Studies
|Use at an assay dependent concentration.
SK-N-SH cells were incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes with vehicle control (0 µM) and different concentrations of (S)-3,5-DHPG (ab120007). Increased expression of CREB (phospho S133) in SK-N-SH cells correlates with an increase (S)-3,5-DHPG concentration, as described in literature.
Whole cell lysates were prepared with RIPA buffer (containing protease inhibitors and sodium orthovanadate), 20µg of each were loaded on the gel and the WB was run under reducing conditions. After transfer the membrane was blocked for an hour using 3% milk before being incubated with ab32096 at 1/500 dilution and ab32515 at 1 µg/ml overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP (ab97051) at 1/10000 dilution and visualised using ECL development solution.

Planted this eggplant summer of 2012. Very productive and tasty eggplants. Have been growing eggplants for a few years now, this was the best tasting of them all. Will definitely grow again. Tall bushy plants, laden with fruits. Good variety to grow
5 out of 5 people found the following review helpful:
I ordered this variety to give it a try, along with Rosa Bianca and a couple of others. I started the seedlings for Arumugams and Rosa Bianca at the same time, roughly two weeks ago. So far I've had a 100% sprout rate with the Arumugam's. The seedlings are strong and now about 2 inches in size. Will update after they reach producing size.

Sweet Art
Best known for its cakes, Sweet Art has left an indelible mark both in Australia and overseas as the leading light in creativity and style over the last 25 years. Owner Anthea Leonard began Sweet Art in Sydney in 1980 and made a name for herself creating edible sculptures. It was not till 1985 that Anthea began to put her talents to re-design the way traditional wedding cakes were assembled. Her signature designs still receive the great compliment of being copied throughout the industry. On the back of this success, Sweet Art has progressed into many diversified aspects of event management and now offers event styling, stationery design and flower arrangements.
Why are you participating in the "Augustana in Australia" program?
I have always wanted to travel abroad, especially to Australia. I have a cousin who studied abroad there and another one who lives there with his family. Besides getting to experience the culture of Australia, I also get to get immersed in the culture by interning there. This is an experience of a lifetime and I cannot wait to get started!
What value do you hope to add back to the internship site?
I hope to bring knowledge from the classes I have taken at Augustana as well as bring my experiences to the company. It will be interesting because I will have different insight that they may not think of because I am from another country.
What do you hope to learn on your internship?
I hope to learn more about the business world and what to expect when I graduate from college. The economy has been tough lately, so an internship is a good way to get experience. I hope to see some of the concepts I have learned in class actually put into action.
Where do you plan to travel during your term "down under?"
I plan on traveling to the Great Barrier Reef as well as many of the beaches that Australia has. I want to see some historical, tourist, and local places as well.
What do you anticipate to be the highlight of your experience "down under?"
I anticipate the highlight of my experience to be learning to live and work in the real world while being in a different country and getting used to their culture. Traveling to Australia is the experience of a lifetime and I am so happy to be a part of this program.

Silver-gilt casket with royal armorials
Medieval, about AD 1303-8
From England
The lid of this casket has heraldic devices which inform us about the personal history and the date of the casket. The arms at the front of the lid belong to Isabella, daughter of Philip IV, king of France from 1285 to 1314. Isabella was betrothed to the future King Edward II of England in 1303, and married in 1308. The casket is likely to date from these years. The arms on the other side of the casket relate to Margaret, the second wife of Edward I of England (reigned 1272-1307) and half-sister of Philip IV of France. The casket could have been an appropriate gift for her to make to Isabella on the occasion of either her betrothal or marriage to Prince Edward.
Inside the casket there are traces of three compartments which may indicate that it was used originally as a chrismatory (container for holy oils). The sides of the casket are decorated with motifs drawn from medieval window tracery.

The ordinance book that the County Clerk's Office has been working on is finally in its final draft. Those involved in the book have three weeks to make any revisions, preferably, so that it may be presented in the second meeting in August.
There has also been discussion about revisiting the rules for the Board of Review to help handle complaints in a more professional and timely manner.
Other items on the agenda that were discussed:
- Passed an ordinance establishing the office of Planning and Development.
- Approved the resolution for a zoning special use permit for Ervin Bird.
- Approved a resolution authorizing the Chairman to contract outside legal and economic development services - Re: Toney Watkins Company. Persons in mind are Kurt Froehleck, bond attorney, and Gene Norber, economic consultant.
- Approved a resolution appointing Judges of Election, as submitted by the political parties. The County Clerk also wished to keep the list open for the moment for approximately 50 more judges.
- Discussed the implementation of audit recommendations, which were reimbursement for travel forms and the check processing duplication within the road department. Information regarding the checking audit was not distinct, and the item was shelved.
- Approved the raffle license application for American Thresherman Association.
There was also a public comment made by a Mr. Jenkel that mowing crews had been mowing over Johnson Grass, a noxious grass weed, and that, if possible, mow crews instead mow around the grass so that it may be sprayed properly. To dispose of the grass, cut the head off the grass, burn it, then spray the rest of it down with weed killer.

2012. USA. Wu Tsang. 75 min.
Followed by a discussion with Wu Tsang
Thursday, February 23, 2012, 4:00 p.m.
Theater 3 (The Celeste Bartos Theater), mezzanine, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building
2012. USA. Directed by Wu Tsang. Wildness is a portrait of the Silver Platter, a historic, LGBT-friendly bar on the eastside of Los Angeles that has catered to the Latin immigrant community since 1963. With a magical-realist flourish—the bar itself becomes a character in the film—Wildness captures the creativity and conflict that ensue when a group of young, queer artists of color (Wu Tsang, DJs NGUZUNGUZU, and Total Freedom) organize a weekly performance art party, called Wildness, at the bar. What does "safe space" mean, and who needs it? The search for answers to these questions creates coalitions across generations. 75 min.

PLATTSBURGH - The SUNY Canton womens volleyball team continued their impressive play rattling off their fourth straight win defeating host Plattsburgh State, 3-1 (25-19, 22-25, 25-21, 25-22), Tuesday evening on the road.
The win improves the Kangaroos to 7-1, while the loss drops the Cardinals to 1-7.Kelsy Cornish (Honeoye, NY) and Jessica Reynolds (Oakville, Ontario) each recorded eight digs apiece while flooring 14 and 13 kills, respectively. Mackenzie Mynter (Churchville, NY) set the tone offensively spreading the floor to the tune of 38 assists while showing her dominance defensively tallying the second most digs of any match in her career with 21.
Robyn Carroll (Bowmanville, Ontario) was an enforcer on the defensive side of the floor finishing with match-highs of 29 digs and four service aces, while Emily Thomas (Horseheads, NY) provided a spark contributing nine digs and three aces.
SUNY Canton got off to a strong start in the opening set as they floored 13 kills, the most of any Roo set in the match, leading to the 25-19 win. Meanwhile, the visitors strong play all over the floor forced the Cardinals into more errors (8) than kills (7). Plattsburgh responded in the second frame tallying 15 kills of their own to knot the match at 1-1, edging the Roos 25-22.
The third set was a battle but SUNY Cantons precision on the attack proved to be crucial as they put down 12 kills compared two just two errors to prevail 25-21. The Roos showed their mental toughness in the fourth frame and despite recording less kills than the Cardinals were able to finish off the four-set victory, 25-22.
The womens volleyball team will return to the Roos House on Saturday when they host the SUNY Canton Tri-Match when they welcome Paul Smiths College and Johnson State College to town. The Roos square off with Paul Smiths at 11a.m. before a 2p.m. tilt with Johnson State.

PTFE slide assemblies are used in piping systems to reduce the coefficient of friction at support locations. Where large displacements are anticipated, it is preferable to use PTFE slides to allow thermal growth of piping system and reduce frictional forces on the anchors or supporting structure.
A typical PTFE slide assembly comprises of teflon pad at the bottom and mating stainless steel plate on the top. The PTFE pad is normally supplied bonded to a carbon steel backing plate. Bonding to steel plate is done by countersunk bolts or by glue. Some manufacturers embed the PTFE pad in a recess to prevent the PTFE pad from getting sheared off from the carbon steel backing plate.
The stainless steel backing plate is supplied with mirror finish and is either supplied loose or tack welded to a carbon steel backing plate. The stainless steel plate is larger than the PTFE pad and is sized to allow the anticipated thermal movements.
In determining the size of the PTFE slide bearing pad the applied loading and the operating temperature has to be taken into consideration. At ambient temperatures a maximum bearing pressure of 60 kgf/cm2 is generally recommended. If loads are high or bearing area is small due to space constraints, glass filled PTFE pads can be used to provide higher bearing pressure.
Glass filled PTFE pads at ambient temperature can provide a load bearing capacity of about 140 kgf/cm2
Virgin PTFE can provide 0.1 coefficient of friction. For glass filled PTFE the friction coefficient is marginally higher at about 0.12.
PTFE is suitable for continuous operation at temperatures up to 150°C. Where the PTFE temperature is likely to exceed 150°C, thermal insulation is provided between the source of heat and PTFE pad.

Crystallized ginger adds a spicy-sweet flavor and a gentle touch of heat to this chunky pie filling. Whole-wheat flour added to the crust gives it a hearty texture.
- 1/2-3/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
- 6 cups thinly sliced peeled peaches or frozen unsweetened peach slices
- Pastry for Double-Crust pie
- Milk
- Sugar
Companion recipe: Basic Pie Pastry
In a large mixing bowl combine the 1/2-3/4 cup sugar, flour, crystallized ginger and mace. Add fresh or frozen peaches. Toss gently till peaches are coated. (If using frozen peaches, let stand for 15-30 minutes, or till peaches are partially thawed but still icy.)
Prepare pastry as directed, except substitute 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour for 3/4 cup of the all-purpose flour. Line a 9-inch pie plate with half of the pastry. Stir peach mixture; transfer to pastry-lined pie plate. Trim pastry even with rim. Cut slits in top crust. Place crust on filling. Trim, seal and crimp edge of pastry. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes for fresh peaches (50 minutes for frozen peaches). Remove foil and bake for 20-25 minutes more for fresh peaches (20-30 minutes for frozen peaches), or till top is golden. Cool on a rack.

A parent's pride in their child's ability can sometimes be based upon the flimsiest of talents and may also be subject to the highest level of exaggeration on the part of mum or dad. A confirmation that "our Britney is better than the real Britney" can mean one of two things – the real Britney is hopeless (possibility?) or the young Britney is able to remember most of the words to "Oops, I did it again" but not necessarily in the right order. (More likely!)
Either way, it is unusual for the child's talent to be that prodigious, particularly at the tender age of three years old. Except that in the case of little Selena Janik, aged three, the fact that she has been accepted as a member of the international Mensa group for high IQ individuals is probably worthy of a warm glow at least on the part of her parents.
So, in order to verify this unlikely level of knowledge and intelligence in one so young, we sent our Qdos Foreign Correspondent across to the USA to meet with young Selena. The following extract from the transcript of their meeting helps us to understand the level of intelligence at work on both sides.
Qdos Foreign Correspondent (QFC) - "Hi Selena, I've brought you a present from Earl Shilton!"
Selena (S) – "Ok but I've checked you out on Google Earth and if it's from that Factory Shop on New Street, I don't want it. (Her mobile phone rings) Hi, Morgan, … yes, sell the gold and derivatives, put all the funds into copper. Ciao for now. Sorry about that, - would you like some breakfast?"
QFC – Just some toast, thank you"
S – No problem. I'm thinking of getting a better toaster. A toaster works by applying radiant heat directly to a bread slice. When the surface temperature of the bread reaches about 310 degrees Fahrenheit, the chemical change known as the Maillard reaction begins. Sugars and starches in the bread start to caramelise and, hey presto - brown toast! This toaster is over caramelising the fibres in the bread and turning them to carbon and hey presto – burnt toast! No thanks!
QFC – That's interesting but …
S – With radiant heat, the atoms and molecules in the bread exchange energy by sending thermal radiation back and forth. Thermal radiation is electromagnetic waves and includes infrared light. A hotter object sends more infrared light towards a colder object than vice versa and so the hotter object, the heating element, gives up thermal energy to the colder object, the slice of bread.
QFC – (Agitated) "That's all very well but where's my toast?!"
S – Bursts into tears "Mummy, don't like this nasty man! Want my dolly now!"
Once again, our foreign correspondent has got the story but has upset the locals. However, his efforts do at least allow us to consider the usefulness of psychometric tests in recruitment situations.
Psychometric tests are used to identify a candidate's aptitudes, personality or specific ability.
Aptitude tests are usually timed when delivered and can include:
Personality tests are also usually timed and aim to identify a general or detailed personality type. Reliably verified and validated tests can indicate traits, preferences and tendencies towards individual characteristics including:
Ability tests can be introduced to test specific skills and knowledge within the skill set required for a particular job e.g. computer skills, manual skills, telephone manner and interpersonal skills
Some or all of the above types of test may form part of an Assessment Centre approach towards recruitment where a mixture of the above elements form part of the selection process. Such tests are however only normally used to supplement the information obtained from a prospective candidate at face to face interview and/ or via written communications.
So let Qdos help your business with your psychometric testing and assessment centres. It can be child's play, as Selena would say, but, as our Foreign Correspondent knows to his cost, you can end up being toast if you are not careful!! It doesn't take a genius to know that.

Rotator Cuff Injury
What is rotator cuff injury?
The rotator cuff consists of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder in place. It is one of the most important parts of the shoulder. The rotator cuff allows a person to lift his or her arms and reach up. An injury to the rotator cuff, such as a tear, may happen suddenly when falling on an outstretched hand or develop over time due to repetitive activities. Rotator cuff tears are also due to aging.
What are the symptoms of a rotator cuff tear?
The following are the most common symptoms of a rotator cuff tear. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Recurrent pain, especially with certain activities and at night
Pain that prevents sleeping on the injured side
Grating or cracking sounds when moving the arm
Limited ability to move arm
Muscle weakness
The symptoms of a rotator cuff tear may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
How is a rotator cuff injury diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for a rotator cuff injury may include the following:
X-ray. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
A rotator cuff may tear partially or fully. Partial-thickness tears do not completely sever the tendon from the shoulder.
Treatment for a rotator cuff injury
Specific treatment for a rotator cuff injury will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent and duration of the condition
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications
Strengthening and stretching exercises
Ultrasound therapy
Corticosteroid injection
Surgery (for severe injuries)
Frequently Asked Questions About Rotator Cuff Arthropathy
- What is rotator cuff arthropathy?
- How is the diagnosis made?
- What non-surgical treatment is there?
- Is there more than one surgical option?
- When is surgery recommended?
- How is the procedure done?
- How does the anesthesia work?
- What are the possible complications?
- What about therapy and return to my normal activities?
- What are the limitations of my shoulder after surgery?
What is rotator cuff arthropathy?
Rotator cuff arthopathy is when a patient has a large rotator cuff tear and poor rotator cuff function meaning that the shoulder is not centered in the socket. Because of this the shoulder does not have adequate elevation or motion. Over time the shoulder gets arthritic and rubs abnormally, not only on the socket but also up on the tip or acromion of the shoulder. Overall, patients have very poor range of motion and an inability to lift their arm along with constant pain.
How is the diagnosis made?
The diagnosis of rotator cuff disease is made by taking a history from the patient, doing a physical examination and an x-ray. Occasionally an MRI is used to augment the information on the status of the rotator cuff problem.
What non-surgical treatment is there?
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen can help some discomfort, but obviously will not help shoulder strength and motion. It is difficult to improve this situation through exercise since the muscles are not attached to the shoulder normally. Occasionally cortisone injections give some temporary relief and are an option for some individuals.
Is there more than one surgical option?
A new procedure has become available in the United States called a reverse shoulder replacement. It is called a reverse replacement because there is a metal ball that is actually screwed into the socket side of the shoulder and a plastic cup that is placed on the top of the humeral arm bone reversing the regular arrangement. The metal and plastic helps with eliminating pain, and the shoulder can now function better using just the deltoid muscle to help move it. Significant motion gains are possible after this procedure for many patients whereas in the past these were not seen with other procedures.
When is surgery recommended?
Surgery is recommended for patients who do not have significant rotator cuff function and have a normal deltoid muscle. Patients need to be older—usually at least 65 years of age. The procedure offers the most to the patient who has very minimal ability to elevate or lift his or her arm and also has significant pain; also the patient should not have the option for rotator cuff repair.
How is the procedure done?
The procedure involves removing the top of the humeral bone and replacing this with a plastic cup that sits on a metal stem, which is placed down into the humerus or arm bone. A smooth metal hemisphere is then screwed onto the glenoid. The cup on the humerus is snapped into position under this metal ball and held in place by tension applied from the intact muscles. This allows the shoulder to have the deltoid muscle re-tensioned, which allows it to work more efficiently in the absence of the rotator cuff muscles. This procedure takes approximately two hours and the standard time in the hospital is one to two days.
How does the anesthesia work?
One of the truly unique features of shoulder arthroplasty at the University of Utah Orthopaedic Center is the use of a small catheter that is placed near the nerves in the neck (anesthesia). We have a unique system for placing these with a high level of accuracy and minimal discomfort for the patient. This catheter allows anesthesia to run into the area slowly over a couple of days. Because of this it is very common for arthroplasty patients to have minimal pain over their first couple of days after surgery, allowing them to get off to a very good start and not be sick from other medications, be able to eat well and be very mobile overall.
What are the possible complications?
The complications that can occur with this procedure are similar to other surgeries of this magnitude. They include the following: infection, blood loss, nerve injury, loosening of the replacement parts, dislocation and fractures around the implants among others; however, the specialists at the orthopaedic center give you preoperative antibiotics to counter infection, rarely need to give blood transfusions and find that while nerve injury can occur, it is usually temporary (although, a permanent neurologic injury is possible but rare). Also, the components that are placed in the joint can be revised or removed.
What about therapy and return to my normal activities?
Immediately after surgery the patient is encouraged to move the elbow and wrist but shoulder only minimally. The patient typically wears a sling with a slight pillow next to it for approximately four weeks. After this, if the specialist feels there is enough early healing the patient can move their arm more actively as well as perform physical therapy. By four weeks the patient should be able to lift their arm; a full recovery is anticipated by six months.
What are the limitations of my shoulder after my surgery?
Due to the nature of this type of procedure, the patient must be careful using their shoulder after the surgery. They are not a candidate for heavy use of their shoulder, such as work on a farm or vigorous yard work. The goal is for the patient to perform daily living activities and routine light exercise.

Big stars, floats kick off Mardi Gras weekend of parades
NEW ORLEANS — The city's glitziest, most star-studded parades of the Carnival season will roll this weekend, including one with a float being touted as the biggest in New Orleans' history.
Mardi Gras is Tuesday, but more than a dozen parades roll in the days leading up to Fat Tuesday. The big ones that feature celebrity float riders include Endymion, Orpheus, Bacchus and the all-women Krewe of Muses. Dozens of others will roll elsewhere in Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast in Mississippi and Alabama.
While Endymion boasts that it will have the biggest float the city's Carnival has ever seen, the Bacchus parade is shaping up to be a larger-than-life experience for more than two dozen child cancer patients from seven hospitals across the country.
Bacchus is providing costumes and throws — trinkets for tossing to the crowds — to 28 teens and pre-teens being treated for cancer. They'll ride in Sunday's parade with this year's celebrity king, actor G.W. Bailey, co-star of the TNT show "Major Crimes."
Bailey, 68, is known for his roles in the "Police Academy" movies and the cable TV crime drama "The Closer." He also serves as executive director of the Sunshine Kids, a nonprofit that takes patients on trips to major U.S. cities. It regularly takes kids to New Orleans during Carnival, but not usually during the season's big weekend.
Bailey said the trips give patients a break from treatments and the opportunity to spend time with teenagers going through similar experiences.
"When you're a teenager, the worst possible thing that can happen to you is isolation," he said. "Even if you're in a room full of people, if you're not with another teenager losing their hair, going through what you're going through, you feel alone. We bring those kids together. We give them a common experience, and within two days, the wigs come off and they don't have to worry about their scars, their missing limbs. It just doesn't matter anymore."
Bailey and Sunshine patients arrived in New Orleans on Tuesday to a packed weeklong schedule that includes eating in some of the city's finest restaurants, taking a south Louisiana swamp tour, and visiting the Audubon Zoo and Aquarium of the Americas.
But the trip's highlight will be Sunday's parade, said 17-year-old Paden Blevins of Crescent, Okla., who is in remission after two bouts with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
"I'm so excited," she said. "When they told me I was going to be riding in the parade, I was like, are you kidding me?"
Bailey also will visit patients at Children's Hospital in New Orleans on Friday. It's a tradition held by previous Bacchus kings, including Saints quarterback Drew Brees and actors Will Ferrell, James Gandolfini and Kirk Douglas.
Bailey and the patients also plan to watch Saturday night's Endymion parade, led by pop star Kelly Clarkson. Clarkson, the first winner of TV's "American Idol," is scheduled to perform after the parade at Endymion's ball at the Superdome.
The parade's other star is the "super float" that organizers bill as the largest and most elaborate in Carnival history. Parade floats typically reach lengths of about 50 feet and can carry about 40 riders, but this one will be 330 feet long and carry more than 200 people.
The float's design is a tribute to Pontchartrain Beach, the amusement park that entertained generations on the New Orleans lakefront before closing in 1983. The float will include a moving replica of a roller coaster, cotton candy and popcorn machines, and pictures and videos of the old amusement park.

"This is the largest upgrade the show has ever had," said show creator Brad Boyink, who first fired up the annual synchronized light and music show in the neighborhood off West Spring Lake Road in 2006. "I filled in some of the areas I felt needed more attention. This year, the display is everything I ever imagined it would be."
Boyink said he has confirmed with a national holiday light show group — Planet Christmas — that his Holiday Road is the most technologically advanced private show in the country.
Holiday Road contains more than 300,000 lights — up from 240,000 last year.
Boyink said RGB pixel lighting lines the show's anchor homes, with the capability of 16 million individually controlled color options. In RGB technology, the colors red, green and blue are added together to form a wide array of colors, he said.
All of the homes in the neighborhood will be aglow, with 13 synchronized to a four-song soundtrack.
But all was not well in the past.
Spring Lake Township officials called for a neighborhood vote in February after several neighbors expressed traffic and safety concerns with the light show. More than 85 percent of neighbors within a mile radius of Boyink's home said they wanted the show to continue.
"The neighborhood has mended," Boyink said of the past controversy surrounding the show. "Time heals all wounds. We are moving forward."
The show will run from 6-9 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; and 6-10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

Organopalladium complexes with bidentate phosphorus and nitrogen containing ligands.
In: Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Jg. 358 (1988) ; Nr. 1-3, S. 545-562
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Chemie
Organopalladium complexes contg. the potentially P,N-bidentate ligands o-diphenylphosphino-N,N-dimethylbenzylamine (PN) and o-diphenylphosphino-a-methyl-N,N-dimethylbenzylamine (PN*) have been studied. The palladium(0) complexes Pd(P-N)3 (P-N = PN, PN*) have been prepd.; the ligands coordinate to the metal primarily through P, with the amino function coordinating not at all or only very weakly. Oxidative addn. of several org. halides (RX = MeI, MeBr, Me3SiC.tplbond.CBr) to these palladium(0) complexes afforded the corresponding monoorganopalladium(II) complexes Pd(R)(X)(P-N) in which the donor ligands are P,N-bidentate coordinated. In soln. the divalent species possess a Pd-N bond, and even in the presence of either free ligand, CO or X- there is no evidence for dissocn. or displacement of the amine function from the metal center. Complexes PdMe2(P-N) have been prepd. from the corresponding dihalopalladium complexes by treatment with MeLi. Reaction of these dimethylpalladium species with the electrophiles MeI, MeBr and PhCH2Br resulted in replacement of one Me group by halogen. The structures of Pd(Me)(Br)(PN) and Pd(C.tplbond.CSiMe3)(Br)(PN) have been detd. by x-ray diffraction studies. Both complexes have a square planar configuration around palladium with the org. group (Me, C.tplbond.CSiMe3) trans to the amine function and the six-membered chelate ring in a boat conformation.

When I am craving chocolate, I eat a bowl of Special K chocolatey delight. It has dark chocolate in the cereal and is only 120 calories a serving size. I usually eat this at night when I crave something sweet.
Whenever I am craving something because I'm bored I chew the new Extra Mint Chocolate Chip Dessert Delights gum. It tastes chocolatey and has a good mint taste.
When snacking and/or sugar fix occur, chew gum (Extra Dessert Delights)
Hello, my name is Maria, and I'm addicted to Special K "Chocolatey Pretzel Bars". They come six in a box and are a great SNACK! I have found myself eating enough to count as a meal on my nutrition tracker so I had to do something about it!They are IMPOSSIBLE to eat when they are frozen (or you'll break a tooth) so what I did was freeze the entire box and take 1 out in the morning for my snack! This way I know I can't overindulge without a swift trip to the dentist!334

A quantitative method for assessing some aspects of the independence of sampling in behavioural studies of worker honeybees
Steven A. Kolmes And Mark L. Winston
The evenness of behavioural observations of a group of honeybees is indicated by the easily calculable D1 measure (divergence from equiprobability) of information theory. A low D1 measure indicates that the members of a cohort of bees used for collecting behavioural data have been selected without bias. Values of D1 ranging from approximately 2% to 7% of H1max (first-order diversity) are reported for 13 colonies of bees observed using scan sampling in experiments made in the past several years. The interpretation and importance of these results are discussed.

In an attempt to get the time until our next holiday to pass quicker, I am currently doing every possibly thing I can think of to plan our upcoming trip to Walt Disney World – despite it still being months way! One example is that I've started to note down some 'must-dos' as I think or read about them. Some of these are attractions at the parks – although why I'm writing these down I don't know, as there is no way I'd miss them! And some of them are smaller things, like snacks that sound yummy that I know I have to try. And that has lead me on to this post – my top 5 'must dos' at each park for our next trip! I'll be following this up with my must dos for outside of the parks and for food!
Magic Kingdom
5. Walt Disney World Railroad – meant to be more of a means of transport around the park than an attraction, I believe, but we really love it and usually make sure we do it on our first day. We love the old fashioned trains and its a great way to see more of the park – and a nice way to have a short rest too! Since Toontown has closed, it only now stops at Main Street USA and Frontierland – and it probably takes as long to wait for the train and get to Frontierland as it would to walk it – but we always do a full loop anyway. Hearing the "Welcome aboard the Walt Disney World Railway" is another of those 'I'm really here!' moments for me.
4. Tomorrowland Transit Authority – this has made my list because in all of my trips to WDW, I've never been on it! And other than that fact that last time we were there, it was closed for refurbishment, I'm not really sure why – that certainly doesn't account for missing it on all our other trips! From what I've heard it is a 'people mover' that takes you around and through some of the attractions in Tomorrowland. sounds right up our street, so can't wait to check it out for myself!
3. Main Street USA – ok this is a bit of a cop out as it is an entire area of the park, but I really do love spending time here as a whole. So many people rush through to get to the rides, but I love browsing the shops, seeing the sweets being made, watching the street shows. Its all part of the magic!
2. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin – one of my favourite attractions, and one that my hubby loves to thrash me at several times while we're there!
1. Wishes and Main Street Electrical Parade – again I'm cheating as these are two events, which we do in one evening, so I'm counting them as one. Wishes is an amazing fireworks show which quite frankly puts any show I have ever seen here in the UK to shame – and they do it every night! MSEP I'm really excited to see as our last trips have featured Spectromagic. While they are similar in that they are night time light parades, I'm really excited to see it.
5. Living with the Land – this is a much overlooked slow moving boat-ride that is part dark-ride and part greenhouse tour. I'll admit, the first time I did this I thought it was boring, but when we went on it on our honeymoon, my husband loved it! And his enthusiasm for it, and the fact that it was closed on our last trip, means that I'm really looking forward to trying it again. I also suspect that we might well end up taking the Behind the Seeds tour, which is an hour long walking tour of the greenhouses.
4. Captain EO, starring Michael Jackson. I know very little about this 3D movie, other than it has taken the place of Honey I Shrunk the Audience and that it stars Michael Jackson. And it is the latter that means we will be making sure we find time for this on our next trip. I wouldn't class myself as a fan although I like his music ok, but my husband is a massive fan – we had tickets to go see one of the This Is It concerts before his untimely death and I know it will always be a regret of my husband's that he was never able to see him live.
3. World Showcase – ok, now I'm really pushing it with the cheating since this is half of the park! But it is not really the rides or films in the individual countries that I specifically love (although I do like them!) – it is the wandering on through. Some of my best memories are when we just spend an evening wandering round the World Showcase, popping into the odd shop, maybe buying a snack somewhere and taking lots of photos. It is magical.
2. Soarin' – while I'm not sure this has ever been quite as good as when I did it the first time and it totally blew me away, I still can not wait to do it again. The music, smells (or is that my imagination?) and feeling of flying as you soar through the sky is just incredible.
1. IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth – it doesn't matter how many times I see this, it amazes me every time. Featuring lasers, fireworks and fire in the World Showcase Lagoon, it is a not to be missed show that is worth camping out early for, for a good spot – and that is not something I do very often, even at Disney!
Disney's Hollywood Studios
5. Beauty and the Beast Live onstage – this is a mini musical as the story is acted out on stage, featuring all the characters and best of the songs from the film. I love it!
4. Studios Backlot tour is an attraction that tells you about some of the techniques used when making films and then takes you around the 'backlot' of the studios – it not real, as in its very much a ride not a real studios tour, but it is still fun and you get to see some real props.
3. Animation Academy is located in the Magic of Animation building. The part I'm referring to is an art class where the cast member takes you though drawing a particular character – you have a go at drawing it while they demonstrate using a projector at the front of class. I'm so rubbish at drawing usually, but this is quite formulaic and it is really good fun. The cast members have to move quite quickly, so it is perhaps not for very little ones. And at the end of it, you come away with a great drawing!
2. Toy Story Mania – a 4D Midway Mania, arcade style game that is really so much fun even though the queues are always very long!
1. Fantasmic! – this never fails as my number 1 attraction at DHS – it is such a great show, found in the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater. It shows 2 to three times a week and you need to get there pretty early to get a good seat – or in fact to get a seat at all – and if it is showing twice one evening, the second showing will usually be less busy. You see into Mickey's dream, turned nightmare as images are protected onto 'screens' of water, with lights and fireworks. It can be scary for little ones, but if they can cope with it, it's probably one of my favourite shows in all of Walt Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
5. Dinosaur – I like this ride because even though I know what is coming, it still makes me jump! It feels very 'Jurassic park' – with the concept being that you travel back in time to rescue a dinosaur. You can get thrown about a bit, so it is not the most comfortable ride but it is one of the best at Animal Kingdom, in my opinion.
4. Finding Nemo – The Musical – this is a really clever and enjoyable live puppet show (although think musical, rather than Punch and Judy style puppets). It features some familiar and new songs and tells the Finding Nemo story.
3. The Tree of Life – the attention to detail that Disney is so famous for, I think can be summed up by one look at this tree. It stands at 145 foot tall and into the trunk is carved 320 animals. One of my favourite things to do at Animal Kingdom is to take some time out to wander around the trails around the base of the tree and just look at all the amazing animals carved into it.
2. Kilimanjaro Safaris – my favourite ride at Animal Kingdom. Having ridden it numerous times now, I do find the back story to it to be more and more annoying – all I really want to see is the animals. But it is worth putting up with for a ride around the 'Harambe Reserve' with a view of the most amazing animals, including elephants, giraffes, zebras and lions – in a way that I would never be able to other wise see them.
1. Festival of the Lion King – I really love this show! In fact I think it is far superior to the West End production. It tells the story from the film, using all the songs. It never fails to amaze me just how could the performers are – some of them are incredible – both the vocal performances and the acrobatics. I couldn't go to Animal Kingdom and not see this at least once.
Next week's post will feature my must-do's for outside of the 4 main parks.

Blood Drive At CMH Jan. 9
For the first time since May 2011, officials at Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) are issuing an emergency appeal for blood donations. Blood inventories are critically low due to bad weather conditions in December and January as well as the holiday season.
According to CBCO, Rh-negative supplies are nearly depleted. The need for O-negative, B-negative, and A-negative blood types is severe for the 38 hospitals the CBCO serves.
One blood donation could save up to three lives. The American Red Cross puts it like this: If a person began to donate blood at 17 years old, and gave blood every 56 days (the maximum allowed) until he or she reached the age of 76, that person would have donated 48 gallons of blood. This means they may have saved up to 1,000 people in their lifetime.
If you are at least 16 years old, weigh more than 110 pounds and are in good health, you may be eligible to donate blood. Eligible blood donors are urged to give immediately.
Citizens Memorial Hospital is hosting a blood drive on Thursday, Jan. 9, in the CMH Community Rooms, located at 1500 N. Oakland, Bolivar. If you are unable to go to the blood drive at CMH, donors can also go to the following centers operated by CBCO:
Campbell Donor Center
220 W. Plainview Rd.
Springfield, MO 65810
Reser Donor Center
2230 S. Glenstone Ave.
Springfield, MO 65804
For more information, visit the CBCO website at www.cbco.org or call 1-800-280-5337.

Recently on a trip I took a 4oz HDPE plastic container filled with HEET (yellow) and placed inside my beercan pot. The temperature was in the 50s-lower 60s during the day and down into the 40s at night. When it was time for dinner, I pulled out my beercan pot with the 4oz bottle of HEET inside to find that it seemed to have "sweat" inside there (a bit of liquid was evident though the bottle did not leak; also there was a bit of a HEET odor). I would then rinse out my stuff and move forward. After the first instance, I put my bottle in a ziplock bag, but it still "sweat" out the next night, even through the bag.Question: Any ideas how to prevent this?Question: Any ideas why this happens so badly with HEET?
I always pack the HEET bottle on the outside of my pack. Just an extra precaution on my part to avoid HEET all over everything.
Ultimately your suggestion is the best method to avoid this predicament, yet I am wondering if this is the case for everyone/every type of alcohol-type fuels or I just happened to have prime conditions for the condensation/sweating.Thanks for your input so far!-Derek
Are you sure its heet sweating out and not condensation?
My initial feeling is that it is indeed HEET because of the odor. In fact, I put my finger on my tongue and it definitely didn't just taste like H2O.
Try and light it next time I don't think the alcohol could come through the plastic. If the heet is somehow getting out of the bottle it could be kind of dangerous to store anywhere considering how explosive the stuff is.
I think its a problem with the lid.I noticed a similar problem using a mini arrowhead water bottle. I changed lids and haven't noticed a problem since. I also use another small contact lens solution bottle which doesn't have the problem either. Both bottle have been sitting in my basement for a few months and haven't lost any heet so I don't think its going through the plastic.
I have saved a few contact solution bottles (4oz), so I will give them a try to see if it does the same. Only problem with those bottles is that you can't see how much you have used!
I agree it's likely the lid which is probably venting a bit as altitude changes, probably just giving off vapors which then condense.I have not had trouble carrying alcohol fuel in squirt top bottles or liquid medicine bottles with tight (non child proof) lids.

|The Game Story:
|ALBANY, N.Y. – Eleven different players scored goals as the nationally third-ranked Cortland men's lacrosse team broke open a close game after one quarter and went on to defeat 17th-ranked Middlebury, 15-5, Tuesday night in non-conference action at the University at Albany.
Seniors Mike Tota (Webster/Webster Schroeder) and Greg Wright (Irondequoit/West Irondequoit) and sophomore Joe Slavik (Binghamton/Seton Catholic) each recorded two goals and two assists for the Red Dragons (5-0), while sophomore Cody Consul (Webster/Webster Schroeder) also scored twice and added an assist. Junior Tom Casey (Yorktown) recorded a goal and an assist, and six other players netted one goal apiece, including sophomore Eric Ohman (Islip) and freshmen Zach Brownlee (Skaneateles) and Benjamin Dunlavey (Elmira/Corning East), who each recorded his first career Cortland goal.
Junior goalie Mike Kaminski (Sayville) registered nine saves in 50 minutes, 31 seconds before giving way to sophomore Scott Tota (Webster/Webster Schroeder), who made three saves over the final 9:29. Junior Nick Jarvis (Syracuse/Onondaga) won 12-of-20 faceoffs and collected a team-high six ground balls.
Tim Cahill led Middlebury (2-2) with three goals, Andrew Metros and Bucky Pierce each scored once, Mike Giordano contributed three assists and Jack Babalan chipped in with one assist. Nate Gaudio turned aside 15 shots in 57:24, and Gabe Weissmann stopped one shot in 2:36. Brian Foster scooped up a game-high seven ground balls.
After Metros and Cahill gave the Panthers a 2-1 lead at the 6:38 mark of the first quarter, the Red Dragons answered with the final six goals of the first half to grab a 7-2 lead. Consul and Wright scored just 35 seconds apart late in the first quarter to make it a 3-2 game. Wright then assisted Tota's goal just past the midway point of the second quarter and freshman Nick Wolak (Rochester/Brighton) upped the lead to 5-2 at 6:09 with an unassisted goal. Tota followed with assists on back-to-back man-up goals by Wright and Slavik and Cortland led 7-2 at the break.
The Red Dragons increased their lead to 10-3 after three quarters. Cortland senior Zack Mulvaney (Deferiet/Carthage) and Cahill traded man-up goals before Casey and Dunlavey scored at 8:48 and 29 seconds, respectively, to close the quarter. The Red Dragons sealed the win by outscoring Middlebury, 5-2, over the final 15 minutes of play as five different players registered a goal.
