Upcoming events in your Maine town
Christmas at Norlands
Christmas at Norlands - 1870 was a Simpler TimeIn case of inclement weather, the event will be held on Sunday, December 15th. If the weather is questionable, please check Norlands' Facebook page or outgoing message by calling 207-897-4366 on the morning of the event. The Washburn-Norlands Living History Center in Livermore, Maine, will open for an interactive Christmas celebration that will take you back to the days of old. Experience Christmas in the 19th century and participate in living history activities around this beautiful and tranquil estate. Activities include wagon rides, caroling, period crafts in the one-room school house, story-telling, parlor games, cooking in the farmer's cottage, and tours of the simply-decorated Washburn family mansion. Make your own calling card before entering the mansion and then present it to the "help" so the mistress of the house, "Mary Maud Washburn", may receive you. At 1:00 p.m. in the mansion you can listen to a piano performance by Kimberly Fleury and Jenavieve Feith, neighborhood children. Sing-along with Christmas carols and play parlor games led by the ladies of the house. Soup, cider and cornbread will be available between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., while supplies last, all prepared in Mr. Washburn's kitchen. For only $5, fill a bag with delicious homemade cookies to take home. Handmade aprons from vintage fabrics will also be for sale. Proceeds from the aprons and the cookie walk benefit Norlands' "Raise the Barn: Rebuild the Magic" fund. Find "Aunt Clara Howard" in the farmer's cottage and listen as she shares stories for all ages. At noon, you can take a walk in the woods in search of a Christmas tree with a Washburn neighbor. Bring snowshoes. The tree will be displayed in front of the school house. Farm work doesn't stop on holidays, so be sure to visit farmer "Israel Martel" in the tool shed and watch as he makes shingles and splits fence posts. Talk to him about life on a 19th century family farm. The gift shop will be open and filled with unique treasures to meet your holiday shopping needs. There is something for everyone, such as old-time toys, books, prints, cards, caps and bonnets, dolls, stick candy, and more. Norlands' t-shirts and timber frame pegs sales benefit the barn raising fund and make unique holiday gifts. Sponsor a Peg for $25 in honor of someone special. Write your name or a unique message on the peg and it will live forever in the new Norlands' barn. You are guaranteed to leave with lasting memories of what Christmas was like in a simpler time in rural Maine. The joyous feeling of an old-fashioned Christmas will no doubt carry you through the season. The event has been organized by a group of dedicated Norlands volunteers who have been studying Livermore history and the lifestyles of people in the late 1800s.

Without This Fix, It's Not Reform
March 10, 2012
Josh Barro
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver is insisting that Gov. Cuomo "negotiate" his plans to reform New Yorks outdated pension systems with the public-employee unions which misses the biggest point of reform.
State law puts pension rules outside collective bargaining, and for good reason. The unions can be expected to focus on the interests of one kind of worker long-timers, who spend their entire careers working for government in New York. So theyre hostile to a key part of Cuomos reform: a defined-contribution option that is likely to appeal to young workers who may want to change careers down the line.
Pension payments have skyrocketed in the last four years, but cost isnt the only reason for reform. As important: New Yorks pensions dont make the most use of taxpayer dollars to recruit and retain the best workers.
We know this from experience in the CUNY and SUNY systems. Workers at public universities in New York can choose between a traditional pension and a generously funded defined-contribution plan. As documented in a recent report from the Manhattan Institutes Empire Center, a majority of SUNY and CUNY workers go the defined-contribution route, in part because people in higher education know their careers may take them to different universities someday.
Contrary to Comptroller Thomas DiNapolis warnings about the defined-contribution approach, these plans were explicitly designed to serve as a substitute for traditional pensions, and theyve been serving employees well.
But the logic of job mobility applies elsewhere. About half of all teachers leave the profession within five years of entering. How does a traditional pension with a vesting period of 10 years (rising to 12 under Cuomos Tier VI proposal) help attract recent college graduates who dont even know if theyll spend a full career teaching, let alone teaching in New York?
Look at other states. For example, a study by Maria Fitzpatrick of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research looked at a pension sweetener awarded to participants in the Illinois Teachers Retirement System in the late 1990s: Teachers could get a larger pension in the future by agreeing to extra payroll deductions for a couple of years upfront.
The generosity of the sweetener terms varied but were almost uniformly favorable 99 percent of teachers could expect a 7 percent or better compounded annual return on their extra payments. Yet many declined the option. On average, teachers were willing to pay only 17 cents on the dollar for the opportunity to get a larger pension meaning that for every dollar Illinois taxpayers spent funding the pension system, teachers were getting benefits that they valued at only 17 cents.
This is why large corporations have been abandoning defined-benefit pensions in droves. Given a certain amount of compensation, employees prefer to be paid in cash, and as retirement benefits go, defined-contribution plans look a lot like cash: The funds are in an account controlled by the employee, and they are his to keep even if he leaves a job after just a few years.
On the other hand, defined benefits impose an unpredictable and growing cost burden on participating governments crowding out those jurisdictions ability to pay cash wages to employees.
Absent the defined-contribution option, Cuomos reform is just yet another less costly tier tacked on to the five already in New Yorks pension systems. And his longer vesting period would actually make the system even less efficient as a recruitment measure while ensuring that the system even more narrowly serves the interests of the long-timers who dominate the public-employee unions.
Cuomos original defined-contribution proposal wasnt perfect in particular, its basic benefit level was too low. The governor would do better by making the optional employer and employee contributions mandatory, effectively making his proposal look a lot like the SUNY and CUNY plans.
But Silver may push him into abandoning the defined-contribution option altogether. That would be a mistake. The reform New York desperately needs is to move more employees off defined benefits and into a defined-contribution plan. If the governor backs down in the face of union opposition, hes not really delivering reform.

This sauropod dinosaur lived around 110 million years ago. It may have the longest neck of any dinosaur, reaching up to 12 metres. This dinosaur, which was herbivorous like all sauropods, lived on the shores of what is now the Gulf of Mexico. And also had sex there. With its ridiculously long neck thrown back like this (maybe).
Some people have suggested that female dinosaurs would have struggled to bear the load of males during mating. If males did throw their leg over the female, like elephants and rhinos do today, the load would have been no more than what a female dinosaur lifting one leg up to walk experienced. In the words of biomechanics expert R. McNeill Alexander: "If dinosaurs were strong enough to walk, they were strong enough to copulate."
A newborn deer "no bigger than a hamster" has been born at a zoo in southern Spain.
The java mouse-deer is one of the smallest hoofed animals in the world, and weighs no more than 1kg when fully grown. It is also said to be an intelligent species, symbolising wisdom in its native Java, according to The Local.
This baby deer is the eighth to be born in Bioparc Fuengirola, which runs a special programme to breed the rare and adorable species. It lives with its family in the zoo's Hidden Forest, a recreation of the ruins of temples lost in the Asian jungle.
Its mother was born at the same zoo seven years ago, and its father moved from Zoo Lille in France last year.
Bioparc Fuengirola says there are currently 43 Java mouse-deer in Europe, but believes the species' numbers will decline due to massive deforestation in South East Asia and the replacement of jungles with oil palm plantations.

October 11, 2012
By Michaela Dodge
This month marks the 20th anniversary of the last test of U.S. nuclear weaponry. For those opposed to the U.S. maintaining superiority in nuclear arms, it's cause for celebration. But there will be no high-fiving among realists. The flawed assumptions that led America to adopt self-imposed restraint on nuclear weapons testing remain as flawed as ever. Meanwhile, the global nuclear neighborhood has gotten far more dangerous.
In 1992, President George H.W. Bush accepted the congressional provision banning nuclear weapons explosions with grave concern. He feared it could prevent the United States from conducting underground nuclear tests. Worse, it could make future U.S. nuclear testing dependent on actions by another country, rather than on U.S. national security requirements. What Bush didn't anticipate was that even highly provocative actions by foreign countries would prove insufficient to get the U.S. nuclear weapons program back on a sound track.
What happened? In 1996, the Clinton administration signed a fatally flawed Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). The pact was advertised as banning all nuclear weapons tests. One problem, though: The treaty does not define what constitutes a nuclear weapons test.
The upshot has been that the United States has adhered to its understanding of what the treaty means: a zero-yield interpretation. But that interpretation is not necessarily shared by Russia or China. The 2009 Strategic Posture Commission recognized that Russia and possibly China are conducting low-yield nuclear weapons tests.
Moreover, U.S. forbearance in nuclear testing has not prevented — or even slowed — North Korea or Pakistan from developing their own nuclear weapon capabilities. After all, you don't need to test a weapon to develop it. In its latest compliance report, even the State Department acknowledges that "it is difficult to assess the compliance of a given state with its own moratorium, when the scope or meaning of a moratorium is unclear."
While the Senate rejected the treaty after a full floor debate in 1999, bad policy has accomplished what the CTBT intended. For 30 years, U.S. nuclear weapons designers and engineers have been banned from what they have been the best at: innovating.
As a result, we are left with Cold War nuclear weapons, based on 1970s designs, intended to deter the Soviet Union. These legacy weapons have high yields and are designed to take down hardened silos or command centers. Some U.S. policymakers seem to have missed the memo: The Soviet Union is no longer the paramount threat. We have to worry about new bad actors, for example North Korea or Iran.
High-yield nukes threaten civilian populations. But that may not constitute a credible deterrent in the eyes of North Korean or Iranian leaders. They simply do not value lives the way Western society does.
Yet, credibility is at the heart of deterrence. If nuclear-armed mullahs in Iran don't believe the United States will come to the rescue of Israel, their calculus as to whether to attack will change dramatically. Additionally, tyrannical regimes value any and all means of blackmail to coerce neighboring nations and faraway foes.
The United States must be able to credibly threaten what its adversaries value. That requires having the flexibility to address developing challenges in innovative ways. If it means developing new nuclear weapons and delivery systems, so be it.
Nuclear weapons modernization served us well for over 40 years during the Cold War. We need the flexibility we enjoyed then to be able to adapt and respond to the rising and ever-evolving threats of the 21st Century.

President′s Page
By President William E. Troutt
If you have any contact with today's high school students, you know that they speak a language of their own and can change how they choose to communicate with amazing speed. They are suspicious about any messages that sound like institutional hype. They only want "real" messages.
Our talented Admissions staff is working hard to meet this challenge of communicating effectively and authentically with prospective Rhodes students. One strategy that continues to work quite well is letting Rhodes students tell the college's story. Our new recruiting video and print materials utilize this technique, as does the new Web site. I hope you will visit rhodes.edu and read about the life transforming experiences of Aaron, Alex, Joel, Sini, John, Ashley, Caleb, Cassie, Hazami, Doug, Hallie, Jay, Korey, Latoya, Lizzie, Evan, Rachel, Ross, Shruti and Truett. Their own words reflect the real stories of Rhodes students.
As usual, there is a "story behind the story." All but three of these students receive financial assistance that allows them to take full advantage of a Rhodes education. Coping with fiscal challenges is a struggle, but many of them—particularly our Bonner Scholars and our Rhodes Student Associates—say that their out-of-the-classroom learning experiences have contributed immeasurably to their personal growth and academic success.
There is a story behind "The Right Stuff" article that appears in this issue. About halfway through the piece the following sentences appear under the heading, "Apparatus": "Four of the students completed construction of the experiment in Rhodes Tower during summer 2006. [Kevin] Andring, who had labored on it during spring semester, was off to his summer job as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. He would return in August."
I had the privilege last spring of talking with Kevin Andring about the job he has held on a fishing boat near the Arctic Circle for several summers. It is high-paying but incredibly difficult labor. In order to return to Rhodes in early August to participate in this NASA program, Kevin had to miss one trip out to sea on the fishing boat and forgo a significant amount of summer income. He tried to compensate by scrimping and saving, but by the end of the fall semester he was faced with the real possibility of having to drop out of school. Through the generosity of our community of donors, we were able to find funding to keep him here through graduation, and I look forward to a day when our students do not face such harrowing experiences to receive the aid they need.
My New Year's resolution is to find a way, sooner rather than later, to meet 100 percent of every one of our students' demonstrated financial need. With your help, the Rhodes community can meet this challenge.
I am confident we have the right stuff.

I may have to perform an impact analysis on an assembly made of steel to evaluate sheer forces on a bolted section of the assembly. I have performed drop test in the past using a drop tester and accelerometer but not an impact test. The part is pretty rigid and will be falling on a rigid surface (either steel or reinforced concrete). I was trying to find the impact duration for this type of condition and have not found any boiler plate type charts. I did see some data that indicated the duration would be in the range of 3-4 milli seconds. Taken a different approach I now have Cosmos Works Professional which has the ability to perform an impact analysis on a model. I am not sure how good this soSucks!are is as I have not used it so I would like to perform some hand calculations as well to check the results. Does anyone have any resources for this type of analysis which may have impact durations for similar conditions? At least this will keep my mind off waiting for the PE results.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA—Senior Garrett Billings tied his career high with five goals to lead Virginia to a 13-7 season-opening win over Drexel before a crowd of 2347 fans on a gloriously sunny afternoon at Klöckner Stadium. The Cavaliers' win is their second in a row over Drexel after getting upset in the season opener two years ago in Charlottesville.
Virginia dominated from the start and pounded Drexel goalie Mark Manos, making his collegiate debut, with 30 shots in the first half. Six different players scored as Virginia built a 7-0 lead after 22 minutes of play. Midfielder Brian Carroll opened the scoring by taking a pass in front from freshman Steele Stanwick and beating Manos for the goal. Stanwick's assist came on the first offensive touch of his career.
Shamel Bratton scored from 12 yards a short time later and Danny Glading closed the first quarter scoring with a nifty dodge from X that beat Manos and gave the Cavaliers a 3-0 lead after 15 minutes of action.
The onslaught continued with quick goals by Stanwick and Gavin Gill early in the second quarter. Billings scored back-to-back goals six seconds apart as Virginia's lead grew to 7-0 at the 8:27 mark of the second quarter. His second goal came on a fastbreak feed from faceoff man Chad Gaudet, a Dartmouth transfer using his final year of eligibility with the Cavaliers. For the game Gaudet won 12 of 21 faceoffs and finished with a game-high eight ground balls.
Sophomore midfielder Kevin Stockel scored Drexel's first goal with three minutes and 47 seconds left in the half as Virginia held a 7-1 lead at the break. With Virginia maintaining a huge advantage in possession time Drexel was able to take just five shots in the first half.
"I never thought we gave the play away," said Virginia head coach Dom Starsia about his team's performance after building the early bulge. "I thought our discipline broke down a little bit. I thought we took some fouls we didn't need to. At the end of the day we might have rushed a couple of shots, but I thought that we were always carrying the play."
Stockel scored in the opening minute of the second half and was followed a short time later by Scott Perri's goal as the Dragons drew within four at 7-3 but were unable to get any closer.
"That's a good offensive lacrosse team," Starsia said regarding Drexel's ability to score. "They've got six experienced guys all back there on offense and given some opportunities they're going to get a couple. I assumed they were going to claw back into the game a little bit. I was pleased that we were able to get goals when we needed it, and I did feel like we could defend them if we had to."
Midfielder George Huguely and Billings answered Drexel's goals as the Cavaliers scored five of the next six to extend the lead to 12-4 in the opening minute of the final quarter. Two of Drexel's final three goals were on extra-man as the Cavaliers were penalized seven times in the game.
Adam Ghitelman returned to the starting line-up in goal and made six saves before being replaced late by Mark Wade.
Ken Clausen shut down Colin Ambler, Drexel's leading returning scorer, limiting him to just one assist and 0-for-3 shooting.
The Cavaliers have a quick turnaround and face Bryant University Monday afternoon at 4 p.m. at Klöckner Stadium. The Bulldogs, coached by former Duke head coach Mike Pressler, are making their Division I debut in the game.

Hudson River Almanac June 7 - 14, 2004
The frenzy of the spring spawning season in the estuary is slowly slipping into the quiet languor of early summer, except for the thrashing of big carp spawning in weedy shallows. Our tidewater eaglets are perched on nest rims, ready for their first flights; some may already be airborne. Water chestnut has greened up the tidal tributaries and nearshore shallows. Skies over the river have that hazy look of summer.
5/30 - Manhattan, HRM 5.5 (a late report from last week): Sailing out of the 79th Street Boat Basin on the west side of Manhattan, the crew of the Hudson River sloop Clearwater caught a 48" Atlantic sturgeon in its trawl net. The fifty passengers responded with amazement, both at the sight of such a fascinating creature, and at the rapturous glee of the educator, captain and crew. It was marveled at, and then quickly released.
- Daniel Kricheff
[The Hudson's Atlantic sturgeon spawn from May to early July. While carp go about their business in shallows where they are easily observed, sturgeon spawn in deeper water. This four footer was probably a male; females returning to spawn are usually larger, and can easily be twice the size of this one.]
6/7 - Ulster County, HRM 101: Walking to Cooper Lake on Route 212, I spotted a red eft (the juvenile form of the red-spotted newt) about to cross the road. Surprised to see it out on such a warm, sunny day, I helped it cross. At Cooper Lake I saw a large mixed flock of about 15 mallards, 55 geese. All were Canadas except for a lone snow goose. Yellow hawkweed was blooming.
- Reba W. Laks
6/9 - Coeymans Landing, HRM 133.5: At midday it was already 94°F. The heat was juxtaposed with a breeze that showered park goers in a blizzard of white: cottonwood seeds, appearing like a June snowstorm.
- Tom Lake
The National Weather Service reported that in the Town of Poughkeepsie, HRM 72, an air temperature of 95°F tied the record for the date, set in 1974. In Newark, NJ, an air temperature of 97°F was a record high for the date.
6/10 - Green Island, HRM 153: The air temperature had dropped from 93° sixteen hours ago to 63°F at dawn today. The tide was halfway up and the water temperature was 70°F. A month ago the shoreline was alive at first light with fishermen casting for American shad and striped bass. Today there were only two anglers fishing cut bait in the current and casting leadhead jigs. All of the spawning shad and most of the striped bass had left. They were content with a slow pick of 5-8 pound striped bass and the ubiquitous 12-16" smallmouth bass.
- Tom Lake
6/10 - Boreas River, HRM 284: As I walked to the bank of the Boreas I was immediately besieged by blackflies. I saw an oriole and I could hear ravens in the distance, but I was most struck by the seemingly endless parade of tiger swallowtail butterflies.
- Tom Lake
6/10 - Thompson Island Pool, HRM 191.5-192.5: Two months ago this pool held hundreds of snow geese. This quiet stretch of Hudson River serves as a convenient stopover on their spring migration. The geese were now a thousand miles to the north on their breeding grounds. The pool held no waterfowl, not even local ducks. Scores of bright goldfinches flitted along the edges. I watched a leafy branch drifting in the current until it made a turn and then I realized it was being carried by a beaver.
- Tom Lake
6/11 - Minerva, HRM 284: This seemed to be the peak time for Minerva snapping turtles to haul themselves out of their aquatic homes. With apparent disinterest in the dangers posed by speeding vehicles, I watched two females as they dug sandy nests along the highway in town, a mere two feet from the pavement. These normally fierce critters were intent on laying their white, leathery eggs, despite my presence.
- Mike Corey
6/12 - Newcomb, HRM 302: An intern at the Adirondack Park Visitors Interpretive Center saw a moose today. Sightings have become common enough in this area of Essex County that Moose Crossing signs are now seen on Route 28N.
- Tom Lake
6/12 - Minerva, HRM 284: I had the pleasure of listening to two marsh birds in the fine wetland behind my house this evening: an American bittern, with its bizarre plumbing sounds, and a pied-billed grebe. Both birds were present during the late spring and summer in the marsh last year, and it's comforting to know that they find the area pleasant enough to return.
- Mike Corey
6/12 - Cornwallville, HRM 125: It was near dusk when I noticed some good-sized birds investigating the wood duck box at my log cabin camp. I listened to their calls; it was a pair of great-crested flycatchers. It would be a first if they nested. I have four such boxes still hanging and - besides the usual squirrels - have documented nesting by wood duck and kestrel. I found red-phase screech owl feathers there one year but could not confirm its nesting.
- Larry Biegel
6/12 - Saugerties, HRM 102: I was surprised to see an immature bald eagle today flying south down the river from Saugerties Lighthouse cove. As it approached the peninsula it was persistently attacked by a small dark bird that I could not identify. The eagle was bothered enough that it circled several times right over our heads trying to avoid the attack at treetop height. The attacker was relentless until the eagle resumed flying south.
- Dan Marazita
6/12 - Eagle Nest, Dutchess County: Day 69. Bald eagles fledge, that is take their first flight from the nest, on average between day 72 and 90. At midday, both eaglets were alert but did not seem to be contemplating flight. Papa was in the nest having just delivered lunch. He soon left and for the next half hour flew around the nest tree in widening circles, calling in clicks and croaks, all the while hotly pursued by a pair of red-tailed hawks. The hawks would dive on the eagle; at the last second he would fold in a wing and the hawks would zoom past. Another stoop and the eagle would do a roll-over to avoid the attack. Eventually the red-tails returned to their nest nearby and the eagle landed in the top of a dead tamarack near its nest.
- Tom Lake
6/13 - Eagle Nest, Dutchess County: Day 70. As has been the case in recent days, my arrival in the blind prompted Papa to begin flying around the nest tree, vocalizing in his clicks, chirps, croaks and squeaks. Immediately the pair of red-tails came hurtling down from their adjacent hillside nest to add their chorus: K-i-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. With all the racket, two big brown curious heads popped up out of the nest. Both eaglets were still there. High overhead, an immature bald eagle hung motionless facing the southwest breeze.
- Tom Lake
6/14 - Eagle Nest, Dutchess County: Day 71. Both eaglets had made their daily six-foot flight to a horizontal limb over the nest. Out on the very tip of the limb, hanging over open air, was the adventurous male (blue band Y56) with a small white blaze on his chest; down the limb, directly over the nest, was the more cautious female (blue band Y57). Both appear to be full-sized and the male is making overtures of leaving.

Police arrest mom after toddler found in field
Image by Wiki Commons, MGN Online
POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) -- Police in southeastern Idaho have taken a toddler into protective custody and arrested the child's mother after the young girl was found wandering alone in a rural field.
The Idaho State Journal reports the toddler was found in a field on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Bannock County Sheriff Lorin Nielsen says deputies went door to door to see if anyone could identify her, but no one recognized the child.
Nielsen said the mother was found at about 8 p.m. after authorities performed a reverse 911 call to area residents and she came forward.
Capt. Kevin Fonnesbeck says the woman was later arrested on an outstanding warrant and prosecutors are expected to review possible charges related to the child's wandering next week.

Sorry about the delay!
Yep, it's another skip week. My apologies. I've been scrambling around finishing up the coloring of Fracture #1 and getting print deals lined up for Back in the Day for Action Lab Entertainment. You'll be happy to know that things are going very well over at ALE, and that the official solicit date for Back in the Day will be in February 2011, with an initial run at Discount Comic Book Service, digital distribution, and through the ALE website.
I'm also writing a new four issue miniseries, which is being illustrated by the amazing Bill Blankenship, which will get national distribution with Action Lab in late 2011/early 2012. 3!LL has been sending me penciled pages almost daily, and it looks incredible! More on that soon…
All in all things are going very well, but the work keeps piling up. This creative director business is taking me out of the game a bit. STC will be back next week, trust me.

It was no surprise to see Black Swan actress Natalie Portman in a silk one shoulder Lanvin for H&M dress, since celebrities can get their hands on any designer piece before it hits stores — they don't have to throw down for that coveted designer piece like the rest of us common folk do.
Although we're a little jealous of Natalie's Lanvin dress because we couldn't get it, or even the $40 t-shirt, we think that Natalie looks super chic and sexy in this LBD. We love that she adds a little glamor to the dress with her accessories. A jeweled encrusted clutch and drop earrings are the perfect compliment to this chic look. Even though this dress was about $200 which is a steal for anything Lanvin, we wouldn't be TBF if we didn't find you another way to get this look for less.

Comments about EVH Wolfgang Special Stealth Hardtail Electric Guitar:
I have an older Peavey Wolfgang and when I saw the 2012 Van Halen concert, I was utterly captivated with the Stealth Wolfie that Ed was playing. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I saw that a (relatively) affordable version was available.
I really sweated getting the stop tail version instead of the tremelo version, but I haven't missed the tremelo one bit (have plenty of other guitars with tremelos, anyway).
The tone is everything you hope for in a Wolfie. The all black color is awesome and it's a ton of fun to play. The axe is lightweight and I really like the muted matte finish, too.
Another big bonus is the EVH-themed hard shell case that it arrives in. High quality all around. Highly recommended!

A Hong Kong-born show jumper has been named in Australia's equestrian team for the looming London Olympics.
Julia Hargreaves, who was born in Hong Kong, grew up in the United States and now lives in the Netherlands, has won selection in Australia's four-strong show jumping team.
Hargreaves, fellow debutant James Paterson-Robinson and Beijing Olympian Matt Williams will join medal fancy Edwina Alexander-Tops on the Australian team.
Hargreaves was the top performing Australian in the two Olympic nomination events.
"Ever since I was a kid I knew I was going to ride horses for the rest of my life," the 26-year-old Hargreaves said in a statement on Sunday.
Hargreaves left Australia in May last year to base herself with Tops-Alexander in Holland.
"I was incredibly lucky to have a mentor like Edwina, she has been a huge inspiration and has always been incredibly generous with her knowledge," she said.
Tops-Alexander is the world's top ranked female show jumper and considered the best chance of winning Australia's first show jumping medal at an Olympics.

Amanda Hamilton shines early for CLU track and field
Freshman Amanda Hamilton didn't waste any time making a significant impact for the Cal Lutheran women's track and field team.
In the first meet of her college career, Hamilton set the school record in the 400-meter hurdles.
In the second meet of her college career, Hamilton broke that record and set a new program record in the triple jump.
The Simi Valley High graduate holds the top spot for the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1 minute, 4.24 seconds and the triple jump with a leap of 36 feet, 9½ inches.
"It was really a big surprise," Hamilton said. "Between my first race and second race, I shaved off four seconds in the 400 hurdles. I was excited about that improvement, and then to break a school record on top of it was really exciting."
Hamilton competed in just about every event possible as a senior at Simi Valley High. At CLU, she has narrowed her individual focus to the 400 hurdles and triple jump.
The 400 hurdles is an extra 100 meters from the high school distance.
"I figured it can't be that different. It's just a hundred, right? But it's a big difference," Hamilton said. "The approach to running the race is a lot different, and I am lot more focused on the steps between hurdles and the way I pace myself. I focus a lot more on maintaining my own pace instead of running as hard as I can the entire time."
But Hamilton has made the adjustment appear seamless, which can be partly attributed to her comfort level at CLU.
"It's been a really good transition working with new people and new coaches and teammates," she said. "I really enjoy the whole environment. Everyone on the team is super nice and welcoming and supportive of each other."
Cal Lutheran coach Matt Lea is thrilled to have Hamilton in the program.
"She is one of the most amazing athletes I have had a chance to work with, and I have worked with some real talent," Lea said. "I am so excited for the next four years with her. She is such an amazing person also. That is what makes her so wonderful."
Although Hamilton broke the program records so quickly, she knows there is still plenty of work to be done.
"I definitely want to pick up where I left off in the triple jump last season. I haven't really gotten back in the groove of that yet," she said. "In the hurdles, I really want to focus on becoming more consistent with my race. I feel like each race has things a little different about them, and I haven't felt like I've run them the same way. I want to get a pattern down."
Once she does, expect her own records to fall a few more times.
"I am just taking it one meet at a time at this point," Hamilton said. "I just want to make sure I am getting better all the time."
News and notes
The Cal Lutheran men's golf team captured the title at The Master's College Spring Invitational. Mikey McGinn sank an 8-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a four-person, sudden-death playoff to win the individual title. The CLU softball team entered last week with a 1-12 record, but recorded back-to-back wins against Berry (Ga.) and Occidental. The Regals (3-13, 2-10 SCIAC) fell just short of making it three straight with an 8-7 loss to Occidental in nine innings. Shannon Tinsley has driven in 12 runs for CLU. The Cal Lutheran baseball team hosts Bridgewater (Va.) at 2:30 p.m. Thursday before a three-game weekend SCIAC series against conference-leading Occidental (13-2, 7-2). The Kingsmen (9-5-1, 6-3) are in a three-way tie for third place in the conference standings. Junior right-hander Aaron Roth, a Cornerstone Christian graduate, is 2-1 with a 2.45 ERA in 22.0 innings pitched for CLU. Seniors Starla Wright, Erica Whitley and Channing Fleischmann were named to the All-SCIAC women's basketball teams. Wright and Whitley earned first-team honors while Fleischmann was a second-team selection. Occidental's Makenzie Brandon was named Player of the Year for the second straight season.

German cardinal sees 'Francis effect' as passing trend
Catholic World News - August 27, 2014
German Cardinal Walter Brandmüller has told a German magazine that the "Pope Francis effect" is a popular phenomenon rather than a spiritual revival.
"Were this a religious movement, the churches would be full," said Cardinal Brandmüller, the retired president of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences, told Zeit Geschichte ("History") magazine.
The 85-year-old cardinal said that the greatest challenge to the Church today is the rise of individualism, coupled with the decline of faith. "Pragmatism and utilitarianism are the great heresies of our time," he said.

Cardinal Brandmuller is quite right. For all the flurry we've seen in the papers, nothing fundamental has changed; we are faced with the same problems and the same declining numbers almost everywhere.

A J-15 fighter on board the Liaoning, China's first aircraft carrier. (File photo/Xinhua)
China has made significant progress in manufacturing high temperature alloy used for airplane engines and is capable of mass producing them for its J-20 stealth fighter, according to the Beijing-based China Aviation News, and US experts.
China Aviation News said a research institute under the Aviation Industry Corporation of China had made breakthroughs in the manufacturing of high temperature alloy, which is the rival of similar material used by international aeronautical industry.
This alloy, accounting for 40%-60% of the weight of an airplane engine, was called the cornerstone of advanced airplane engines, said the paper.
Before it masters the technology, China had to buy engines from Russia to power its stealth fighter jets, the J-20 and J-31, which are still in development.
Meanwhile, Andrew Erickson, a professor at the US Naval War College, and Gabe Collins, an expert in Chinese military affairs, said in an article published by the Diplomat magazine that China will invest 300 billion yuan (US$48 billion) over the next three years to build engines for airplanes.
Noting that China is already capable of turning out airplane engines with the same quality as the ones used in US F-15 fighter jets, they predicted China will be able to mass produce such engines for its J-20 fighter jets in two to five years.
However, other US experts estimate that China is still five to 10 years behind the US in building engines.

Ostereistedt Steingrab
Chambered Tomb in Lower Saxony.
Comparably lengthy Chambered Tomb, chamber was
build with 7 orthostats on each long side in NE-SW orientation.
The NE single orthostat on the short side is in situ.
There are 4 orthostats of the NW long side still in position,
5 on the opposite. (According to Sprockhoff's text)
Nowadays it seems that you can see the tips if one
more orthostat on each side.
Remains of most likely a former capstone are resting
in the chamber. More remains of former capstones are
scattered around the tomb.
There are also remains of an enclosure.

Nikon D5100 rumored ready to ship
updated 01:40 pm EST, Fri February 18, 2011
Nikon D5100 to ship soon as boxes spotted
NikonRumors has just received a leaked photo of what appear to be shipping boxes of the upcoming Nikon D5100 DSLR. The appearance of the image indicates the semi-experienced user's camera is ready to ship, though no specs are yet known. It is expected to arrive during this winter, however.
The D5000-replacement will slot in between the D3100 and D7000, so a sensor of more than 14 megapixels (D3100) but at or below 16.2 (D7000) is expected along with the ability to shoot 1080p HD video. Like the Canon 60D, the D5100 may ship with a swivel-out LCD screen, as Nikon lacks such a feature in its lineup of DSLRs outside of the outgoing D5000.

It has a 1980 date as part of the Face Logo. Note that the Face Logo never appeared on a Holmes Basic Set; it wasn't used on a Basic Set until the Moldvay one in 1981. IIRC, this image is from an old auction run by Paul Stormberg, although I didn't keep good notes on where I grabbed it from. (It is possible it is a later bootleg creation).Edit: It's also interesting to note that the artwork shows much more the dragon (e.g. hindlegs) than the Basic set cover.

Traditional chili takes on a new look with the addition of colorful roasted bell peppers and black, cannellini and Anasazi beans. Serve as a main dish with corn bread or crusty whole-grain bread.
In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the beans, water, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially and simmer until the beans are tender but still firm, 60 to 70 minutes. Drain and discard the bay leaf.
When the beans are cooked, coarsely chop the roasted bell peppers and set aside. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the yellow onion and saute until soft and lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bell peppers, cooked beans, tomatoes and cilantro and cook until the tomatoes are heated through, 5 to 6 minutes. Ladle the chili into individual bowls and sprinkle with the cheese and green onions.

Celtic hound / Celtic dog
In Celtic myth tales, hounds are emblematic of courage, extreme loyalty, and honor. Hounds were prized as companions of the hunt and travelers between worlds. Dogs were closely associated with healing. Gallic gods of healing springs had sacred dogs, and votive offerings to these gods often portrayed dogs and their owners. Hounds, invariably magical, were the constant companions of many Celtic heroes. Irish Filidh (seers) chewed the meat of a dog in a ritual to gain prophetic vision. To be called "hound" was an honorable nickname for a courageous warrior; the name of the god Cuchulain is literally "Hound of Culann;" violating a geas (sacred taboo) on the eating of dogflesh leads to the hero's death. The mother of the god Lugh, in whose honor the Lughnassa festival was celebrated, was killed while in the form of a small dog.
From the Book of Kells, there is a unique interpretation of three dogs chasing the other's tail. These three dogs represent the three beneficial phases of the dog. In ancient times the dog was a symbol for loyalty. Second, the tribes depended on the dog for guarding. Finally, it was the healing power of the dog that was widely respected.

About the MIRISK VP™ Assessment
The Aviir MIRISK VP Assessment was developed out of basic research at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Researchers identified proteins associated with the biological processes underlying vulnerable plaque development and showed they could be measured in a patient's blood up to 5 years prior to a plaque rupture and the ensuing heart attack. Aviir's scientists developed sensitive multiplexed assays to measure proteins in a person's serum and an algorithm that combines the levels of those proteins with other clinical risk factors into the MIRISK VP Assessment to provide an absolute risk score for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) risk. That algorithm has been shown in an independent study population to significantly reclassify intermediate risk individuals into their true risk category. By objectively classifying those patients at high risk, the Aviir MIRISK VP Assessment supports physicians to more effectively manage and treat this group – aiding in the reduction and prevention of cardiac events. Used in conjunction with other clinical information, the MIRISK VP Assessment's easy to understand risk score for the imminent 5-year horizon may motivate compliance and behavioral changes by patients previously misidentified as in

Do you have patients with diabetes, geriatric patients, patients with hypertension, patients who have had a gastric bypass or patients who suffer from alcoholism? These patients probably cover a large percentage of your patient demographic.
Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency is a common problem among those patient types. It is a commonly accepted cause of peripheral neuropathy. A 2007 study linked patients with type I and II diabetes with a 75 percent decrease in plasma thiamine levels in comparison to patients without diabetes.1 This is evident in a significantly higher amount of thiamine clearance in the urine in patients with diabetes. A patient with hypertension who is on diuretics experiences the same increase in urine thiamine levels.
The treatment of painful peripheral neuropathy has been a difficult challenge among healthcare providers. The list of non-specific medications with adverse side effects is extensive. Injections, therapy and topical treatment modalities are insufficient. Thiamine supplementation has traditionally had little success combating neuropathy. However, using benfotiamine, a lipid soluble thiamine analogue, has had significant success internationally since the 1960s.2-8
To implement this in your practice, consider the following steps.
First visit. Order a plasma thiamine test via high-performance liquid chromatography (Quest Diagnostics test number 922). The diagnosis is peripheral neuropathy. Have the patient return to the clinic when the blood work comes back (usually within a week). Epidermal nerve fiber density testing through Bako Pathology is a good way to see any measurable differences. The company can assess the extent of the neuropathy and you can following it over time to visualize any progress of nerve density.
Second visit. Go over the blood work with the patient. Normal values are 58.5–69.7 nmoL/L. If the values are 45 nmoL/L or below, consider initiating thiamine supplementation in the form of NeuRemedy (Realm Labs) at one 150 mg capsule bid. Have the patient return to the clinic in two weeks.
Third visit. Check the patient's improvement in symptoms and note any side effects. If the patient is having improvement without side effects, continue the treatment for six weeks. If the patient has used thiamine supplementation for a total of eight weeks without improvement, the therapy has failed. Warn your patients though that ceasing NeuRemedy can lead to a regression as they will continue to urinate thiamine.
Other considerations regarding oral OTC treatment for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy includes supplementation with other vitamins. Clinical Therapeutic Solutions also offers NeuRx-TF, which contains a formulation of alpha-lipoic acid (350 mg), acetyl L-carnitine (250 mg) and methyl B12 (1,000 mcg).
We all have those patients who have tried every oral form of treatment for peripheral neuropathy and have either had to stop because of the side effects or because they found no relief of symptoms. Some of those same patients have tried selective injections, topical creams and even oral opioid treatments.
Painful peripheral neuropathy is one of the biggest challenges we face in podiatry. There is wide debate about what the definitive treatment is for this condition. I believe we need an alternative to the mainstream treatment protocols. The most commonly prescribed oral medications for neuropathy have significant and strenuous side effects.
This is not a sales pitch. I have no financial benefit in promoting these products. I simply want to offer something else to my patients that may help relieve painful peripheral neuropathy.

I'm staying in Tekweni Backpackers. It's a party hostel which doesn't mix well with the job of a travel journalist! They also do great tours here in the city. All the staff have made me feel welcome so far and have given me great tips, so I know I'll enjoy my stay here.
