TNO Triskelion BV Key Developments
TNO Triskelion announced introduction of a Bio Safety Level 3 (BSL-3) facility and development of special techniques allow to test vaccines against deadly viruses like avian flu and SARS. With this step the contract research organisation responds to a globally growing demand for testing facilities for the development of drugs against these dangerous infectious diseases. It also allows new vaccines against rapidly mutating (avian) influenza viruses reach the public sooner. TNO Triskelion performs research activities for the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries. The TNO Triskelion facility was recently upgraded to BSL-3 level and accredited by Public Health England (PHE), so that all class 3 viruses and bacteria deadly to humans - from HIV to tuberculosis, from avian influenza to SARS - can be studied in conformity with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) if required. On a worldwide scale the testing capacity for vaccines against these viruses is extremely limited. The BSL-3 facility will be used for research into avian flu. The Avian Influenza A Virus H7N9 recently appeared in China, taking 40 lives. Virus H5N1 has been active since 1997, H7N7 has made victims since 2008 and recently a woman in China died from H10N8. The viruses spread mostly from animals to man. If avian flu evolves into a virus that transmits from person to person, the threat of a worldwide pandemic is at hand.

The finding expands on work from Dyer's laboratory into the genetic and biochemical missteps that give rise to retinoblastoma. The advance reflects the combined efforts of the St. Jude departments of Developmental Neurobiology; Chemical Biology and Therapeutics; and Structural Biology. The first authors are Damon Reed, M.D., formerly of St. Jude and now of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Ying Shen, Ph.D., of Developmental Neurobiology.
"We went from a discovery in childhood cancer, MDMX amplification, to characterizing this first inhibitor in about three-and one-half years," Dyer said. "This model is now being replicated over and over in other cancers we treat at St. Jude."
Dyer's laboratory developed the biochemical and cell-based tests used by colleagues in Chemical Biology and Therapeutics. Researchers checked a chemical library of nearly 300,000 compounds using high-throughput screening. Investigators searched for molecules likely to block MDMX activity.
Dyer said the new compound might help researchers studying the biology of MDMX. "It may also be useful for any tumor that has normal p53," he said. "The idea is that if you have normal p53 and you need to turn it on, maybe by giving a drug that hits MDM2 and another that hits MDMX; you free p53 up to kill the cell."
Investigators' predictions of exactly how SJ-172550 interacts with MDMX are based on mathematical and computer models. Work is underway to capture an X-ray crystal structure of SJ-172550 bound to MDMX.

Beware of Marijuana Candy During Halloween Trick or Treat
Posted by Drug Free in Marijuana Use and Abuse on October 15, 2014
Marijuana-infused candy definitely takes the cake as far as "trick or treat" is concerned.
Although the state of Colorado has pretty much embraced marijuana in its culture, the Denver Police Department recently issued a warning to parents about marijuana edibles disguised as candies for Halloween trick or treat. The police department released a video warning about Haloween marijuana edibles via YouTube:
Responsible owners of marijuana dispensaries support this campaign by Denver Police, stating the near-impossibility of identifying a marijuana candy from a regular sweet treat. "Once that candy dries, there's really no way to tell the difference between candy that's infused and candy that's not infused," according to marijuana retail owner Patrick Johnson as published in Time. "There's really no way for a child or a parent or anybody, even an expert in the field, to tell you whether or not a product is infused or not."
Drive High, Get A DUI: Colorado Releases Funny Marijuana Impaired Driving PSA
Posted by Drug Free in Marijuana Use and Abuse on October 7, 2014
While marijuana is all the rage in Colorado, there's nothing funny about being under the influence while driving.
That's why the Department of Transportation in Colorado released a series of public service announcements (PSA) to highlight the adverse effects of driving while under the influence of marijuana. The videos are part of the campaign entitled "Drive High, Get A DUI," which pokes fun at the real threat of marijuana-impaired driving.
Here's a funny ad of a man mounting a TV on the wall while high on pot:
You can watch the two other PSAs here and here, both of which are humorous depictions of people high on marijuana but are advised not to drive.
Despite the legality of recreational marijuana in Colorado, the state upholds the safety of its citizens by reminding them of responsible use of marijuana, especially when driving.
Students Likely To Drop Out of School Due To Marijuana Use
Posted by Drug Free in Marijuana Use and Abuse on September 14, 2014
If you are not yet startled by marijuana abuse by kids, this bit of news might shake your mindset and apathy.
Just a few weeks after research by New York University revealed the effect of alcohol and marijuana on high school seniors, a recent study showed that teenagers have a 60 percent likelihood to drop out of school when they use marijuana on a daily basis. According to the University of South Wales National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre in Australia, the results of their study could be used as a framework to reconsider legalizing marijuana.
The study based its findings on three earlier researches covering about 3,700 individuals, and looked into the behaviors and academic achievements of the respondents in cross reference to their drug use until they reached 30 years of age.
Study lead author Dr. Edmund Silins emphasized the importance of their study to government decisions in marijuana legalization measures. "The findings are timely given movement in some states in the US and Latin America to decriminalise marijuana, and there is also a movement here in Australia to decriminalise and legalise the drug for medicinal use," said Dr. Silins in a news release. "Because our study has shown the potential harms of adolescent use, particularly heavy use, policy makers must be aware of this and reform efforts should be carefully considered to protect against this."
Aside from the scholastic effect of marijuana on teens, the illicit drug was also linked to higher tendency to commit suicide and try other illegal substances.
Study: Effects of Alcohol and Marijuana on High School Seniors
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse, Marijuana Use and Abuse on September 1, 2014
The ongoing quest to pull away teenagers and students from substance abuse has never waned. This new study emphasizes the ill effects of alcohol and marijuana on high school seniors.
According to researchers from the Center for Drug Use and HIV Research of New York University, teenagers who are about to graduate from high school were engaged in drunk driving cases due to alcohol abuse. "Compared to non-drinkers, frequent drinkers were over 13 times more likely to report that their alcohol use has led to unsafe driving," said Dr. Joseph Palamar of NYU Langone Medical Center.
Frequent drinking also led to damaged relationships and feelings of regret and emotional instability especially in women.
Meanwhile, marijuana was reported in previous studies to be a better alternative than taking alcohol, but the study revealed that it was no better. "Marijuana users, compared to non-users, were three times more likely to report unsafe driving as a direct result of use," Dr. Palamar said in a news release. In addition, seniors who engaged in frequent marijuana use were more than 20 times likely to engage in police-related incidents.
The study involved data from close to 7,500 high school seniors who used alcohol and marijuana from 2007 to 2011.
Washington Medical Marijuana Policy Loophole: No Age Restriction?
Posted by Drug Free in Marijuana Use and Abuse on June 30, 2014
Medical marijuana legalization has always been a trending topic, but how's this for a hot bit of news: A news item recently exposed that the medical marijuana law in Washington has no age limit.
According to Seattle's KPLU, the state's law on medical marijuana procurement does not include any age restrictions or parental supervision. According to Bellevue drug counselor Paul Weatherly, he regularly meets with teenagers exposed to marijuana. One time, one of the teens told him, "Oh, I can hardly wait until I'm 18 and I can get my medical marijuana card." Weatherly was reminded that "when I read the law, I didn't see any age restrictions."
This loophole may be exploited by teenagers who want access to a lot of marijuana, as well as scheming medical professionals who want to earn more, albeit illegally. In fact, Weatherly said he was able to talk to a kid who got the go signal to purchase marijuana from a physician through Skype.
Meanwhile, Lisa Sharp, a manager for Seattle Public Schools' prevention and intervention, said that may teenagers already have authorization for medical marijuana, and can even visit pot dispensaries to get their daily dose. The rise in marijuana use on and off-campus has been observed by school staff as well. "We are seeing it all over our city, so in middle schools and high schools and elementary schools," said Sharp.
Study: Medical Marijuana Laws Do Not Lead to Higher Teen Pot Use
Posted by Drug Free in Marijuana Use and Abuse on May 23, 2014
Many parents are concerned about how legalizing the use and sale of marijuana may affect their children. Medical marijuana has been made legal in 21 states and the District of Columbia while recreational marijuana has been allowed for people who are at least 21 years old in Colorado and Washington.
Parents worry that their teenagers may have easier access to marijuana, which may increase the likelihood of today's teens using them. This is a valid cause of concern, since teens are found to be using drugs at younger ages, when their bodies and brains are still on critical developmental stages.
A study that looked into 20 years of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance Survey gives parents a reason to let out a small sigh of relief.
Researchers compared the data in states that have legalized medical marijuana and data in neighboring states that haven't. The study, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, found that marijuana legalization for medical purposes does not result in greater use of marijuana by teens. "There were no statistically significant differences in marijuana use before and after policy change for any state pairing," writes lead author Dr. Esther Choo.
It still is a popular illicit drug among U.S. kids, but its use has remained steady before and after a state legalized marijuana. The estimates are based on self-reports given by over 11 million students through anonymous surveys.

I have a figure that is more than full through the bust but narrow in the shoulders. While I'm not a very experienced sewer, that's partly because my projects seldom have fit well enough to make it seem worthwile. (You know things are bad when RTW seems better! I've come across suggestions to buy patterns according to the high bust measurement rather than the full one. When I look at the pattern packets this information is not there. Gigi, how can I find out the HB information about pattern sizing? And why is it recommended? Do you think this would make a difference for me?
Marley, patterns are designed for a b-cup figure. Anyone with a fuller bust needs to select a pattern by high bust measurement so that the fit is good through the upper chest/neck/armscye/shoulder. A full bust adjustment would then be made to accomodate the fuller bustline. When you measure the high bust/chest area you will buy a pattern size whose bust measurement corresponds with your high bust measurement. Then, depending on the pattern style, you will have to make a full bust adjustment. If a fuller-busted woman chooses a pattern using her bust measurement, she will end up with a garment that fits nowhere else but the bust. It is really important for beginners to learn how to make these pattern adjustments. They are not difficult in the least and will help you get to the next level where your self-sewn creations will actually fit you. I highly recommend that you buy a copy of Fit For Real People by Pati Palmer and Marta Alto. This wonderful book has loads and loads of photos and diagrams that will guide you, step by step, through full bust alterations. This will be an investment in your sewing future and will save you money in the long run since fit disasters will become a thing of the past.
Hi Marley,I recently took a fitting class with the authors of Fit for Real people. As Gigi Louise says, you do have to measure at the high bust, and I agree that it is very confusing that that info is not documented on the patterns. By the way, they pulled the measuring tape quite snuggly when measuring.In the class the instructors measured all of us to determine size. If anything they would round DOWN when determining size from the high bust measurement. I had been buying size 20-22 patterns, they put me in 18 and were considering 16 for a while! I have been using my new knowledge to fit my daughter (large bust, small elsewhere) and although her high bust measures a size 12 and thats what I used, I think she might have been better in a size 10 - although the 12 worked pretty well (with major bust increase).Good luck fitting - the book Fit for Real People is really wonderful. If you order it from their website you can get the spiral bound edition, which is really nice to have because it lays open.Susan
Yes, sometimes the high bust measurement can be deceiving. For instance, if someone has a broad back that can throw the measurement off a bit - it would be necessary to size down and then alter the back width.
Marley, most pattern companies list their measurement/sizing chart at the very end of the pattern book - the catalog with all their patterns. Sometimes they also print it on the pattern sheets.
Dear Friends- Thank you for filling me in on this. Next time I'm at the sewing store I'll check out the back of the pattern books for the high bust measurements. The neck and arms of recent projects were disappointing. This should improve the results I get. I will look at the fitting book too. Until I found this web site I couldn't account for the weird results my garments ended up with. Having no innate sense of spatial relationships, I was just discouraged and confused. How nice to know the poor results had more to do with the poor information on the patterns (and my non-ideal proportions) and not because I'd made mistakes!
Hi Marley Just to clarify, you won't find a high bust measurement listed anywhere... you compare your high bust measurement with the standard (b-cup) bust measurement they provide. (Then you'll need to do a full bust adjustment.) Mel
------Mel (Melbourne, Australia)
Well, I'll be darned. No wonder nothing ever fit me right.
------I'd rather be sewing.
Doesn't this just make you wonder (or in my case, scream) WHY DIDN'T ANYONE EVER TELL US THIS WHEN WE STARTED??? �Not one teacher, not one book, not one video!When I was first learning to sew, I was taught that if you needed extra you just added it at the side seam. �With a D-cup bust you can imagine that I ended up with humongous armholes. It's a wonder that I didn't give it up altogether. �I sure ruined a lot of fabric learning how to fit myself!

Bonny lass, bonny lass, will you be mine?
You shall neither wash dishes nor serve the wine;
But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,

Pioneer Square, Seattle
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
Sure, Pioneer Square has a bad reputation, an undeserved one. It consists of beautifully preserved late 19th century structures that were clearly impacted by the dot.com dollars. I saw it ten years ago and today it is a completely different place. If you like history you will love this charming neighborhood. It reminds me of both Vancouver B.C. (Gastown) and Boston.
Unique Suggestions: Check out the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. Clean, interesting, friendly staff, and FREE!! Lots of neat antique shops and a lively nightlife as well.
Cheesy but still fun: The Underground Tour.
This starts at a little cafe called 'Doc Maynard's' in Pioneer Square, downtown. It's touristy, but silly and fun.
The Seattle Underground Tour in Pioneer square is advertised as a hidden city under the city. Its actually just a bunch of basements...they are even occupied with storage materials. The tour guides lead you down an alley way where the homeless have obviously been urinated (the smell is autrocious) and their are rats everywhere. And might I add that they have the nerver to charge 7.50 per person???
Unique Suggestions: bring a gas mask and dress in a safe suit? Its not worth the money, you would be wasting a beautiful day underground in a smelly basement ..is that not enough?
Fun Alternatives: There are duck tours in downtown. Just as cheesy only to the nth degree! Tourists are driven around town in a musical bus in the shape of a duck..later this bus converts to a boat and tours you around the sound.. Its too cute and perfect for children!
Around Pioneer Square/Seattle Center/Pike Place market on occasion in summer(the tourist season) There are people trying to promote charities/sell watches(99% chance their stolen) on the street, you just have to look at the person, if they are supposed to represent a church, why do they look like they just got out of the county jail. :)
At Safeco field, there are people selling tickets the day of a game, more so if its soldout and against a popular team like NY Yankees. Technically this is illegal, but the real danger is being ripped off with fake tickets, so I would advise buying tickets from the box office, so your not out of luck.

Of course, it's all accompanied by freshly brewed coffee, juice, and an assortment of black and herbal teas.
Our multiple-course menu varies with the seasons and whimsy of the chef who uses treasured family recipes passed down over generations and collected during decades of international travel.

Soft Pretzel Bites. Crispy Oven-Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries. By brooklynsupper | While it's available year round, when you start to see garlic scapes, green garlic, and young garlic arriving at the farmer's market, you know spring has arrived.
Powerful and pungent, garlic makes almost any savory dish better. Ham & Cheese Pretzel Bites. Toasted Ravioli with Marinara Sauce. I'm not usually big on fried foods but I had a hankering for something crispy and cheesy.
One Italian inspired appetizer I enjoy on occasion is toasted ravioli. Having this as an appetizer for my Pasta Party dinner was great since it featured how pasta doesn't always have to be the main course of a meal. In fact, I thought this Toasted Ravioli with Marinara Sauce rivaled versions found at restaurants! What's great about this recipe is that it's easy to make, especially if you're going with the convience of frozen ravioli. If you're more ambitious (and have more time and energy) than me these days, you can certainly try your hand at making homemade ravioli and using that in place of frozen. Toasted Ravioli with Marinara Saucerecipe adapted from AllRecipes 2 tablespoons whole milk 1 egg 3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder1/4 teaspoon dried oregano1/4 teaspoon dried basil1/4 teaspoon dried thymesalt & pepper to taste 2 cups vegetable oil for frying Marinara Sauce.
Baked Zucchiini Fries. Mozzarella Sticks. When I told my friends I was planning on making homemade mozzarella sticks for a guy's weekend out of town the idea was met with a profound lack of enthusiasm.
Everybody knows that I like to experiment in the kitchen, but somehow the idea of making a bar food staple like mozzarella sticks from scratch seemed like a complete waste of time to the group. After being lectured about the innumerable brands available in the freezer section at the grocery store and a heated debate about whether marinara or ranch is the better dipping accompaniment, I decided to risk further heckling and see if I couldn't one-up T.G.I. Friday's in my own kitchen. It might have been the alcohol, but the first batch was gone within a matter of seconds. Simultaneously crispy and gooey, these mozzarella sticks seem to defy the laws of physics and flavor.
Easy Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) Recipe. Our tour of Brazil continues.
After posting the moqueca recipe, several of you asked if I had a recipe for Pão de Queijo, or Brazilian cheese bread, sort of like a chewy cheese puff made with tapioca flour. As a matter of fact, I do. My friend Bill gave me this recipe years ago, a favorite from his Brazilian wife Silvia. I've made it several times, each time with different cheeses. Talk about addictive! There are several ways to make Pão de Queijo.
The only weird ingredient is tapioca flour. The recipe as presented is fairly basic. Ingredients 1 egg*1/3 cup olive oil2/3 cup milkScant 1 1/2 cups (170 grams) tapioca flour1/2 cup (packed, about 66 grams) grated cheese, your preference, though we got the best results from Mexican farmer's cheese - queso fresco1 teaspoon of salt (or more to taste) Best Ever Jalapeno Poppers Recipe. Baked Cream Cheese Jalapeno Wontons « Veggie and the Beast. When all my siblings were still living at home, Chinese takeout night happened every now and then…and by that I mean like once a week.
We'd devour our absurdly huge mounds of food, possibly watch a movie or play a game, and then wrap up the evening with a little brother-sister-sister argument over who would get the final wonton after the other eleven were gone (yes, we bought two orders of six…every time). Now that I'm a refined adult (yeah, that) wontons have sadly gone all-but missing from my life. Until recently, that is, when the boy and I found ourselves at a restaurant that served jalapeno cream cheese wontons. Pizza Cupcakes. Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Pizza Cupcakes.

Principals shuffle coming to Collier County schools
COLLIER COUNTY - The changes to the principalships are:
■ Golden Gate Elementary School Principal Marilou Andrews will become principal at Laurel Oak Elementary School;
■ Sabal Palm Elementary School Principal Tammy Brown will become principal at Naples Park Elementary School;
■ Naples Park Elementary School Principal Beverly Budzynski will become principal at Sea Gate Elementary School;
■ Sea Gate Elementary School Principal Brian Castellani will become principal at Lake Trafford Elementary School;
■ Golden Terrace Elementary School Assistant Principal Susan Daniel will become principal at Poinciana Elementary School;
■ Lely High School Principal Ken Fairbanks will become principal at Gulf Coast High School;
■ Laurel Oak Elementary School Principal Charles Fronz will become principal at Golden Gate Elementary School;
■ Jack Gardner will take the principal job at Lorenzo Walker Institute of Technology and Lorenzo Walker Technical High School after Jeanette Johnson left the district. Gardner, who is moving to Florida from Indiana, holds a similar position there, according to Collier County Superintendent Kamela Patton:
■ Poinciana Elementary School Principal Jennifer Kincaid has been promoted to executive director of elementary school programs for the district. That position was held by Beth Thompson, who will become the new Chief Academic Officer, taking over for Martha Hayes, who left the district to become the assistant superintendent for the Rockford, Ill. School District.
■ Big Cypress Elementary School Principal Angela Lettiere will become principal at Sabal Palm Elementary School;
■ Golden Terrace Elementary School Principal Kimberly Lonergan will become principal at Corkscrew Elementary School;
■ Corkscrew Elementary School Principal Terri Lonneman will become principal at Golden Terrace Elementary School;
■ Golden Gate Middle School Principal Leslie Morris will become principal at Lely High School;
■ Lake Trafford Elementary School Principal Bob Murray will become principal at Big Cypress Elementary School;
■ Lely High School Assistant Principal for Curriculum and Instruction Leslie Ricciardelli will become principal at Golden Gate Middle School; and
■ Gulf Coast High School Principal David Stump has been promoted to a new position on the school operations side.
Some big changes are on the way for the Collier County School District.
And it is making some in the school community nervous.
Collier County Superintendent Kamela Patton is set to present her reorganization plan to the Collier County School Board today. The plan will save the district more than $100,000, according to Patton.
"It is to ensure we are not using duplicative services," she said. "And to fill in where we thought there were holes."
Patton declined to get into specifics about the plan, saving those for Tuesday's Collier County School Board meeting. But, as part of the package, several schools are getting new principals and several district administrative job titles and descriptions are being altered.
That has some people worried. Several parents and teachers contacted the Naples Daily News with concerns that some A school principals, like Angela Lettierre at Big Cypress, were being moved to C and D schools while C and D school principals were being moved to A schools.
"This isn't affecting the money schools, with the exception of Sea Gate where they are swapping an A (principal) for an A," said Josi Teeters, a parent and a Big Cypress Elementary School PTA board member. "Just because we don't have the income or the wealth, it doesn't mean our kids don't deserve the best."
Tuesday's board meeting starts at 4:30 p.m. in the School Board Meeting Room of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Administrative Center, 5775 Osceola Trail.
Some of the changes, Patton said, had to come as a result of state requirements for certain schools, which required some changes to be made. The state's differentiated accountability and requirements for schools receiving School Improvement Grant allocations have specific processes that require the removal of an administrator when certain criterion are met, according to the Florida Department of Education. Those requirements can include a declining school grade and declining and the percentage of Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria the school is meeting decreases.
Jennifer Stonebruner, president of the PTA at Big Cypress Elementary School in Golden Gate Estates, said the school community is upset they are losing Lettierre, who is being sent to Sabal Palm Elementary School, which is also in the Estates.
"It's shocking," Stoneburner said Friday. "We love Mrs. Lettierre. It's not good that the A schools get the lower performing principals. ... The teachers, the students and the administrators - including our principal - have worked very hard for our A grade."
Patton said Monday that the reorganization will bring new perspectives to the buildings.
"We have administrators that will have fresh eyes on the schools," she said.
Patton said the moves are not demotions or punishments and not a reflection on any employee.
"We are definitely providing growth opportunities for principals," she said. "Some requested to work at some of the schools and some of the principals are being moved to meet needs."
Patton said she understands there will be frustration and concern, but said the principals being moved all have the skills to do the job.
"If we didn't feel that way, it would be a different course of action," she said. "This is not a matter of, 'Let's just change principals to change them.' This is change with support. It will still be in my priorities to visit and support these schools. ... And we did not move the assistant principals, so there will still be someone who knows the school inside and out."
Teeters said she's worried this could be just the beginning of ongoing principal shuffling. She questions the timing of Patton's announcement.
"If this were on the up and up, this wouldn't have been kept top secret" she said. "We are entitled to open communication. ... I understand transition has to happen. This is not the way to do it."
In addition to the principal plans, Patton will ask the Collier County School Board to add eight new job descriptions to the district, including a director of adult education; director of competitive grants and charter schools; director of employee relations; and an assistant superintendent of school operations.
Most of those new job descriptions will not mean new employees. Robert Breitbard, the administrator of adult and community education for the district, will have his job description changed to director of adult education for the district, for example.
"As charters become larger, we should have someone focus on that. We need to build a bench in labor relations," she said. "It is a more efficient way to work."

A resident of a 2-story apartment at Center and Front Streets in New Ulm is reportedly in critical condition after a fire broke out Thursday night. The New Ulm Fire Department responded to the call at the Ackerson Apartments at around 9:30pm Thursday. Smoke was pouring from the building when firefighters arrived on the scene as they fought to bring the fire under control in sub-zero temperatures. A resident of the upper level of the apartments was reportedly hospitalized in critical condition, and another tenant having trouble breathing was also taken to the New Ulm Medical Center. No names have been released at this time. Five other tenants were able to escape the building safely, and Red Cross personnel provided assistance, including getting them hotel rooms for the night. The cause of the fire has not been determined, and the state fire marshal will investigate.

Angel by Thierry Mugler
I agree with the previous post...Angel is unforgettable in a BAD way! It is overpowering, aggressive, in your face foul and I have yet to smell anything worse...well, there is still Shalimar but that's not the point. Angel smells like a dirty, trashy woman to me, no offense to those who like it, it smells like an unshowered woman that sprayed perfume on to kill the funk rather than bathe! It is sweet, rancid and just nasty smelling. I have not and will not try it on, I am afraid; and every woman I smell wearing it offends my sense of smell.

Realistic for an all-American girl?
Lately I've been crushing on two very foreign-sounding names - Anouk and Constanza. I'm no part French and no part Italian, but I actually speak French fluently and plan on majoring in it in college (& there's like a 99% chance I'll study abroad somewhere French-speaking). Are these names realistic for a girl that isn't actually French or Italian? And what do you think of them?

I feel that you should be okay, seeing as you speak the language and can properly pronounce the names. There might be trouble, though, when it comes to an American correctly pronouncing the name.Just a lonely teenager creating a life through characters. Budding author and future failure. I despise the idiots. The nameless berry.

Anouk! I love Anouk. Plus, if French culture is that important to you and you're fluent, why not? I am not even fluent in French, but I would still use a French name. Constanza, on the other hand--there's less of a tie, and it seems a bit less mainstream, but why not? It's a nice name. I love Eleni and Giovanna, just because I love them--I really have no tie to Greek or Italian culture, but I would still easily name my daughter Eleni Giovanna! I think they're both fine.Ashley

Re: Maplewood Fire Station
posted at 6/4/2009 8:20 AM EDT[You're right!. That would be an ideal place - still in Maplewood Square area and it is certainly a long awaited proposal. To be renting the old building from the Charter School is so NOT prudent. I always thought where Avenue Video would be a good place too, but that's likely not to become available. New equipment and now a new station......doesn't anyone at City Hall know about having Capital Assets? Cut the salary overhead and start commiting some viable solutions to these long awaited items that are needed in our city! Please VOTE on November 3, 2009 to abolish the Trash Bag TAX and the Trash Bag 6 and get City Hall to show some good ole' honest Yankee ingenuity!!!. QUOTE]Malden needs their "own" new building in Maplewood for a fire station.The perfect location for such would be the city owned parking lot on Maplewood st.This would allow for the proper equipment to be on the eastside of the city,such as an aerial ladder of 100 plus feet. You have Granada Highlands,630 Salem st(elderly housing)500 Broadway,Salemwood School,Linden School. Not to mention,where the station is located now is a public safety issue when the charter school is being dismissed in the afternoon! There are FEMA grants available for new fire station construction.Why is this not a priority? Any Thoughts?

Re: Maplewood Fire Station
posted at 4/4/2011 11:38 AM EDTRemind me again under whose watch (the Council) this issue has never come up for air? We bought a fire truck for $500K yet no one mentioned the situation in Maplewood. Why is that? The ward 6 councilor has been trading favors with the Mayor for keeping the fire station open there and not having to take up the task of a new station? We know the school forgave a $300K penalty when the city didn't move out 8 years ago. Good for the city, bad for the students in the school who breathe in the diesel exhaust into those open windows in the Maplewood school. In all this time nothing has been done. Same old, same old. Funny how people love to accuse me of having a "vendetta" against the Chairman of the charter school board yet I think facts speak for themselves. It's more of a case of the" Emperor has no clothes" and I am of the few who will tell him. Clear away the smoke and mirrors and you will see for yourself what is going on.

Re: Maplewood Fire Station
posted at 4/16/2011 12:14 PM EDTYou see I agree the streets need to be fixed. The Firemen need to be a full staff along with the police. I believe that lights need to be fixed. But it takes time to do all that. And the way Frank asks for things, he ends up being ignored by the ones he sends emails to I am sure. So his next step is to file complaints with different agencies. So he then Emails people in the city for help and they are to angry that he filed a dumb complaint.
You see they only fix certain things during certain seasons. You will not get a street paved in this weather right now. We still get frost during some mornings.
But file a complaint against the city because I think I saw them making frost one day.

Proactive in trying to fix the streets and sidewalks. Ok. Which streets? Which sidewalks? There was a meeting the other night about the downtown, fixing those streets and sidewalks. I know they are planning on changing up the downtown to make it more pedestrian friendly (thank GOD!) I drive on Ferry St and see that Charles is working on that street and the sidewalk. There are grants that are active in the City of Malden ask the Engineering Dept what is slated for the next year. They seemed to have patched a lot of the damage that was done from the snow this past year. Is there a particular area of the city you are referring too?

Re: Maplewood Fire Station
posted at 4/16/2011 2:08 PM EDTMalden Gal ---for your knowledge I submitted a proposal last year to
fix the sidewalks that are now being fixed ---it would of been done under stimulus money. Now they are receiving over $900,000.00
dollars to fix streets and sidewalks this for money in 2011, it is
chapter 90 funding. Their are sidewalks on three or 4 streets in my
ward that are deplorable plis if you ride down henry street it needs
repaving and also an area on ferry & belmont that area needs repaving but than if the city would list the streets and sidewalks they plan to fix with this money would be nice.
The other issue this city never applied for any of the Stimulus Money
that was available to fix this city up like other cities have done.
Finally why hasn't this city water and sewer division ever asked
the MWRA for help in repairing the water supply system in the city
preventing low water pressure when there are fires in the city.

District officials also announced the launching of a new "energy management" portion on its Web site, http://bcsd.k12.ny.us/energymanagement/. The new Web page features information about district initiatives designed to reduce energy consumption and tips on environmental conservation; links to Web sites devoted to energy efficiency and "green" practices; and allows residents to contact the district's energy manager with questions and suggestions.
It also features energy management news and initiatives like the recycling efforts in the schools.
The Board of Education voted unanimously to join an energy-purchasing consortium coordinated by the Onondaga"Cortland-Madison BOCES.
By participating in the consortium, the district will be able to lock-in competitive energy costs for the long-term, which Tebanno said would help plan for energy costs. By being a member of the consortium the district will undergo a thorough and independent review of its energy costs for recent years.
By doing so, Tebbano said, it ensures that the participating districts spend only what it must on energy.""

Wait, What?! Nokia CEO Hints Interest in Going Android in 2013
Nokia has battled against Android with their Windows phones for years now, but the relationship between Nokia and Microsoft has been strained as of late–especially surprising considering the Finnish company previous pledge to commit to the OS as their "primary smartphone strategy."
In an interview with El Pais, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop was asked whether the company had entirely ruled out launching an Android smartphone in 2013. Elop's words amounted to "never say never":
So, the way I think about it is, in the current war on ecosystems, we are fighting with Windows Phone. That's what we're doing. Now, what we're always doing is asking, how does that evolve? What's next? What role does HTML5 play? What role does Android or other things play in the future? We're looking further into the future, but it terms of what we're bringing to market, and what we're immediately focused on, we're focused on Windows Phone.
While never fully saying that the company would chose Android, Nokia's CEO nevertheless leaves a question mark hanging over the company's future choice of OS.
This could be a way of striking back at Microsoft for taking them for granted. Who knows why Microsoft decided to show off HTC hardware at the launch of Windows Phone 8 this Fall, but it doubtless left Nokia feeling bruised.
Of course, one could just read this as a bunch of corporate infighting rather than a hint that Nokia is switching teams. But for fans of Nokia, this is certainly good news. I love the Nokia N9 and think the company makes beautiful phones. I would welcome an Android with Nokia style and a PureView camera. But I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch.
Would you buy a Nokia Android device?

Its not just the manufacturer of the Android Smart Phone, its the device themselves (& whether or not the manufacturer is paying attention to what their competitors are offering - you hear that HTC?) as well as entering the "No Contract" market vs. being an "Exclusive" only to certain Carriers (something even Sprint is realizing consumers want "no contract" now) ....

I love Nokia's hardware. They are very well built. But I hate Windows. So yeah, I would welcome this move. A high end Android Lumina would be really cool.

I'd like to have a Nokia Android! I had Nokia phones for 12 years and they always were perfect. Remember the N95..what a great phone for its time. Nokia would have offline Maps, great cam and great hardware.

Nokia was incredibly stupid to dump Symbian, they had the market lead both in hardware and software innovation they were the first to produce a proper smartphone, and despite Apple's egotistic thinking that they invented everything thats cool, Symbian also pioneered the concept of running apps on phones and having an 'app store'. When Nokia dumped Symbian thats when they lost me as a customer after 10 loyal years and switched to Samsung. The problem now is how do Nokia differentiate themselves if they did go down the Android route?

When you hear the word "dyslexia," chances are you think "learning disability." Most people don't realize that dyslexia is associated with a special set of perceptual skills – some of which offer distinct advantages. A recent article in the New York Times aims to promote greater awareness of the upside of dyslexia.
Dyslexia is still a very poorly understood disorder, but recent research at MIT shows that typical readers are better at focusing on words in the center of their field of vision. Readers with dyslexia, however, have stronger and more accurate peripheral vision.
The study, spearheaded by Gadi Geiger and Jerome Lettvin, used a mechanical shutter to flash a row of letters before test subjects, with the letters extending from the center of the subject's field of vision outward. While typical readers were able to identify the letters in the center, those with dyslexia were able to identify the letters at the very edges of the row.
What's interesting about this study and related research is that these skills seem to be either/or. A person is only good at focusing on one or the other. Being able to focus on the details in the center of a page is an asset in learning to read, but it also means that most people are fairly weak at recognizing broader features and patterns outside of that small area of focus. This fits well with what some dyslexia advocates have been saying for years – that dyslexics are intuitive, big-picture thinkers who are more aware of their surroundings.
Not only is their peripheral vision stronger, it seems that their ability to view an entire scene as a whole, rather than focusing on the details, can help them spot errors faster. In a University of Wisconsin study, people with dyslexia identified "impossible pictures" faster – they were able to spot the unrealistic elements in drawings in the style of M.C. Escher, which rely on optical illusions to create physically impossible scenes.
It even turns out that students with dyslexia have shown a superior ability to understand and process visual information in certain contexts. In one study, dyslexic students were able to see the images in photographs which had been heavily blurred, while non-dyslexic students could not. In some situations, it turns out, dyslexic learners actually have the advantage.
This research represents some substantial steps in the right direction. Better understanding what dyslexia is, and how it works, is crucial to helping struggling readers learn how to overcome their academic handicaps and make the best use of the unique talents.

Two thumbs up!
I did my Arts Theraphy Diploma on inner and outer images, so this is very interesting to me.There is also an area in the brain which works on"clues" and combines them to see the image--it seems this is where picture info and meaning are combined. It would be interesting to test in that field as well and see if, and if yes, how the "clues " are processed differently with this way of perception.
additionally it might be interesting to explore possible links with Syesthesia...
Does anyone know if there is a connection to faster reflexes?
I was asked by a dyslexic peson how dyslexia an learning of new languages goes together. he is an english native speaker and learning german.
In my eyes it is essential, that we as a human society which has found names for lots of things focus on the contents and ties of the things that we have named instead of mainly using them to diagnose deficites, it opens interesting fields and possibilities of working together (see the comment by sheilaS.).
thanks for the article!
Cool, thanks.
I am really happy that dyslexia is coming to be better understood and that we are trying to do more to recognize everyone for the unique individuals they are.
We are all unique and have special gifts and talents only over education has controlled our way of thinking, saying and doing.
Our children cannot florish in their natural envioroment that lies within.
Children should be allowed to use their natural abilities to learn what comes natural to them which is to use their hands, feet, or minds. The world needs sayers thinkers and do'ers.
i see it cut off part of my comment;
when I was in grade school, I was sitting at my desk working on class work and the teacher walked up behind me, and I saw him walking up behind me as if he was walking toward me from the front of me. It was an interesting experience.

The left hemisphere is most commonly dominant, right handedness, sequential processing of information and language. The right hemisphere, then, is associated with left handedness, and holistic processing of information, looking at things as a whole, not its parts.
This may sound strange, but I can actually feel which part of my brain is active the skin on my skull tightens on which ever side Im using at the time. btw Im ambidextrous.

Sen. Charles E. Schumer is calling on federal regulators to require that all liquid children's medications be equipped with safety devices called flow restrictors, following an investigation by ProPublica and testing by Consumer Reports showing that the devices can help prevent accidental overdoses.
Talk Radio News Service
Sen. Chuck Schumer is ripping conservatives for their response to legislation he co-sponsored that would punish those who renounce their citizenship to avoid paying taxes. The bill was introduced after Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin gave up his U.S. citizenship right before he was expected to earn billions from the company's much anticipated IPO.
The four men arrested Wednesday night for allegedly planning to bomb two synagogues in the Bronx and gun down military planes were "not connected to another terrorist group," New York Sen. Charles Schumer said in a statement Thursday.

Perhaps we should be more surprised than we are by the news that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and his DOT crew managed to sneak a handful of sentences into the approved bailout bill that amounted to a $150-billion "quiet windfall" for American banks, as The Washington Post put it.
White House / Shealah Craighead
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, with much prodding from Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer, is thinking about using some of that $700 billion to buy ownership stakes in shaky banks. The scheme would ostensibly give taxpayers a share in the fortunes of the bailed-out institutions.
Michael Mukasey has been sworn in as U.S. attorney general, a day after 53 senators decided that a man who doesn't know what torture is should have the job. But the real blame—for anyone who objects to the confirmation, that is—should be reserved for Democrats Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein, who made Bush's day when they gave Mukasey the green light.
Do we really need another attorney general who doesn't know what torture is? The Senate Judiciary Committee just barely approved the nomination of Michael Mukasey on Tuesday. He is expected to breeze through the rest of the process. Remember some weeks from now, when the head of the Justice Department is a man who, despite fact and testimony and common sense, can't call torture by its name, Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Charles Schumer are responsible.
It looks as though Michael Mukasey is one step closer to becoming attorney general, having secured the support of Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Charles Schumer. Judiciary Committee Chairman (and former Truthdigger of the Week) Pat Leahy, on the other hand, plans to vote no, because "No American should need a classified briefing to determine whether waterboarding is torture."
Although Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was characteristically dodgy during last week's questioning by the Senate Judiciary Committee about just who had dispatched him in March 2004 to persuade an ailing John Ashcroft to approve an illegal wiretapping program, The New York Times leaves little mystery that it was Vice President Dick Cheney.
Our collection of favorite videos this week includes Sen. Chuck Schumer nailing the Bush administration on the firing of U.S. attorneys, the Discovery Channel drooling over a weapon that kills Americans, and "The Simpsons" dressing down Fox News.
Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., the No. 3 Democrat in the Senate, said Sunday that Alberto Gonzales should step down "for the sake of the nation." Schumer pointed to the partisan firing of U.S. attorneys and the FBI's abuse of the Patriot Act as evidence that the Justice Department has become highly politicized under Gonzales' leadership.
Truthdig salutes the individuals and organizations that swept the Democrats to victory: the members of the Democratic leadership, and the progressive netroots. Kudos all around.

The Future of a Multi-Sport
Mega-Event: Is there a Place
for the Olympic Games in
a 'Post-Olympic' World?
Richard Cashman
This chapter reflects on the future viability of a multi-sport event such as the Olympic Games, identifying potential threats to their exalted status at the pinnacle of world sport. Since any threat also represents an opportunity, the chapter also considers the capacity of Olympic organizers to respond to such challenges. The future of multi-sport mega-events is explored in the context of Asia for a number of reasons. Asia is one of the dynamic frontiers of world sport and will play an important role in the future global sports system because the countries of East Asia – China, Japan and South Korea – are becoming increasingly important in global economic and political terms. Asia is one area of the world where the Olympic movement is holding its own with its chief rival, the football World Cup. In many other continents – such as Africa and South America – devotion to the World Cup is much greater than the Olympic Games. The capacity of the Olympic movement to maintain its position in Asia will be critical to its future.
This chapter will revisit the Allen Guttmann thesis, elaborated in his Games and Empires, that the Olympic Games have long been deeply Eurocentric. Guttmann in this seminal work has stated that
the modern Olympic Games began as a European phenomenon and it has always been necessary for non-Western peoples to participate in the games on Western terms …
The most important consequence of European and American control of the Olympic movement has been that all the sports included in the Olympic programme have their origins in the West or are represented in the distinctly modern forms developed as part of Western culture. (Guttmann, 1994, pp. 120, 137)
