Hildur Yeoman's show at the Reykjavík Fashion Festival was for me one of the most fun moments of this edition. An unconventional catwalk show that put on stage not only models, but also dancers and the singer Daníel Ágúst, making it difficult for the audience to stay on their seats and not to join the party !
I asked Hildur Yeoman few questions about the inspiration for the show and the collection.
How was your experience at Reykjavik Fashion Festival 2012?
It was good. I met so many lovely people and had a great time at the shows
Your show was so fun! Roller skaters, dancers, the singer… why did you decide to make such a rich scenography?
I wanted to think of it more as an happening than a normal fashion show. I wanted to bring my illustrated world to life with singing and dancing. To create a party onstage that would bring a smile to people´s faces and have them dancing in their seats. It started out quite black and dreamy but towards the end it was very colorful, sparkly and super energetic. It wouldn´t have been possible without the amazing talents that took part in it with me like coreographer Sigga Soffía, singer Daníel Ágúst and all the amazing dancers and models.
You presented a quite unusual clothing collection. Where is the inspiration coming from?
Well I was in it for the show. I wanted to give myself total freedom to experiment, to create a plastic utopia. I had some very challenging fabric choices such as tinsel, which I knitted from. But I also showed hand printed silk dresses, loads of embroidered pieces and accessories. The inspiration came as much from fabrics and techniques as it did from disco movies, the Cockettes and renaissance paintings.
What is your next project?
I´m making more clothing for dancers at the moment and an illustrated editorial. Then there are loads of adventures coming up.

Crafting never goes out of style! Why? Because it's an enjoyable activity that provides lots of benefits. It's easy; it helps reduce stress; it builds children's self-esteem and learning skills; it's emotionally pleasing; and most importantly -- it's fun!
Nothing is quite as satisfying as making something with your own hands -- no matter what your age or skill level. Because crafting is such a well-liked pastime, the Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) has dedicated the entire month of March to celebrating all that crafting has to offer.
During March, craft stores around the country will offer special classes, demonstrations, tips and projects to get customers involved. Craft and hobby retailers nationwide will offer a variety of fun-filled craft activities to introduce families and kids to the joys of crafting. All are encouraged to take that great kid in their lives -- a child, grandchild, niece/nephew, neighbor or someone who is simply a kid at heart -- to their local craft store to enjoy the festivities.
You can get started crafting with one of these fun ideas from Kids' Turn!

So What Do You Do, Zane, New York Times Bestselling Erotica Author?
"A writer that's going to have a lifelong career has to promote themselves."- February 8, 2012
She is credited with bringing erotica from the back of the bookstore and into the mainstream with the explosive success of The Sex Chronicles: Shattering the Myth. Was it the detail of the love scenes, the sexually liberated female characters, or just the juicy plots that did it? The millions of readers who catapulted her titles onto the New York Times bestsellers list a whopping 26 times and made Zane's Sex Chronicles No. 1 on Cinemax would probably say all of the above.
Yet, despite her philanthropic efforts and work in bringing other authors into the limelight through her imprint with Atria/Simon & Schuster, Zane is not without her critics. She's been attacked for everything from her large number of young fans and her support of the LGBT community to, of course, her explicit content."I'm not swinging from chandeliers all day or going to sex parties all night," she told us. "The majority of my day is spent helping women with their situations, saving people's lives."
Name: Zane
Position: Author, publisher, screenwriter and TV producer
Resume: Began her career as a regional sales executive and part-time divinity school research assistant. Started writing short stories at night and publishing them online. Landed a book deal with Simon & Schuster and wrote 26 bestsellers, including Addicted, Skyscraper, Total Eclipse of the Heart, and The Hot Box. Started her Strebor publishing house in June of 1999 and landed an imprint deal with Atria/Simon & Schuster in September 2003. Currently adapting her bestseller, Addicted, into a film for Lionsgate.
Birthday: September 18th
Hometown: Washington, D.C.
Education: Was the first jointly-enrolled high school student at Spelman College before transferring to Howard University to double major in chemical engineering and English
Marital status: Divorced
Favorite TV show: I Love Lucy
Guilty pleasure: Taking "trips to nowhere" with her children on the spur of the moment
Last book read: Man Swappers by Cairo
Twitter handle: @PlanetZane
Why write about erotica?
I didn't aspire to be an erotica writer. People honestly think that all I write is sex books and that is the least of which I do. Before I started writing novels, I had never read erotica in my entire life. I was bored one night and I started writing a story and sharing it on an Aol chat line. Those friends shared it with a few others and, in three weeks, I got over 8,000 hits on my site. Then, there was a rumor that I had a book out and three publishers offered me deals, but I turned them all down. Honestly, the majority of my books have a much deeper premise to them. It just so happens that I do not tone down sex. I write my sex scenes the way I write everything else -- just me being wild enough to be honest.
What do you say to those who don't consider it real literature, just literary pornography?
That's their opinion. I never set out to please everyone. I understand my purpose. Any book that I've ever written, I can clearly tell someone what the book is about. It has a clearly defined plot. As a publisher, a lot of people have the misconception that I publish only erotica when, in reality, I only have two erotica writers. We publish everything from literary fiction and mystery to nonfiction as well as gay and lesbian fiction. I'm not swinging from chandeliers all day or going to sex parties all night. The majority of my day is spent helping women with their situations, saving people's lives. My life's work is empowering women and, yes, that includes sexually.
|"A lot of authors believe that all they have to do is write a book -- that's foolishness."
Why did you decide to become a publisher in addition to being an author?
Even when all I had was a website, people were sending me their stories to put on my site. So, in a sense, I've been a publisher from the beginning. Within the first year of my first publishing deal, I had signed seven contracts with Simon & Schuster for 15 books, so I think it was a natural progression. What made me go ahead as a full-fledged publisher was that I received so many emails from women around the world from India to Korea who were embracing my novels, who said the novels helped them realize that there was nothing wrong with them or with sexual desires, that they shouldn't be ashamed. To me, publishing serves a much deeper purpose in my life: It's the opportunity for me to give voices to people who may or may not ever have that chance.
How have eBooks affected your business?
For mid-list authors, it's actually not a bad situation. eBooks are far from taking over, though; that's a huge misconception. Financially, it is not really hurting mid-list authors whether the book is sold as an eBook or a traditional book. The ones that are really being affected are authors like me, or Patricia Cornwell or James Patterson who have hardcover books. If Patricia normally sells her hardcover at $32.95 and the reader can buy it at $9.99, that's a significant difference. But it is what it is. Personally, I don't read eBooks. I prefer a hard copy.
One thing some authors do not seem to understand, whether it's traditional or eBooks, is that the publisher is the one who takes all of the financial risks. As a publisher, my job is to offer authors distribution and to get their books out there. Publishers do a lot of stuff that authors will never understand and definitely would never be able to do on their own. I have to admit that we will go to the extreme of watching our authors interact at BEA [Book Expo of America] and analyze them. We ask ourselves would anybody buy a book from them based on the way they act? Nobody should have a sense of entitlement just because they wrote a book. At the end of the day, publishing is still a business.
What advice do you have for authors who complain about a lack of publicity? If they are doing so much of the publicity and marketing work themselves, should they receive a higher royalty rate?
No, they should not receive a higher royalty rate. I hear complaints about publicity all the time across the board. As an author, I believe that I should be the one publicizing myself. A lot of authors believe that all they have to do is write a book -- that's foolishness. I still promote myself all the time. The key to becoming a successful author now virally is to let people get to know them as people. That's why I have such a large readership: My books are the things I talk least about when I'm social networking.
Since 1997, I have been answering emails and giving advice. The reason people email me is they feel that I honestly care, and I really do. You don't have to do in-person meet and greets. Remember, I didn't have my first book signing until I had sold millions of books, because nobody knew who Zane was, not even my mom or dad. I did it all in secret while working my day job. A writer that's going to have a lifelong career has to promote themselves, because if you promote yourself your readers won't care what books you come out with. They're buying the brand.
|"eBooks are far from taking over -- that's a huge misconception."
You deal with serious adult matters, yet there are young girls who sometimes pick up your books. How does having young readers affect your work, if at all?
First of all, it's their mothers and fathers that are bringing them to the book signings. They're just happy to get their kids reading. Remember, I'm a mother as well, so I'm very aware of what young people are exposed to. I don't think it affects my work because, as young as these kids are, they know most of this stuff already. My readers are also getting exposed to different topics like homelessness, low self-esteem, and empowerment. It's about having your heart broken and deciding if you are never going to try again or that you're going to have to trust again.
The funny thing is, one of the very first book signings I did was put on by a group of preachers' wives where I spoke to a group of church women about black female sexuality. At another church event followed by a book signing, the women were slipping copies of Purple Panties, my lesbian series, under the other books they bought. It was the biggest seller all day.
What are your thoughts on bookstores shelving books in the African-American section instead of alongside other fiction works?
They sell better. That's been documented. There's no question about that. When someone goes into a bookstore and they're looking for African-American books, they're going to look for the African-American section. If they dig mystery books, they're going to look at the mystery section. I've done my research and seen the figures; I've met with the owners and heads of bookstore chains. I used to sit in a Borders bookstore, bring my manuscript submissions with me to read, and for hours on the weekends I'd watch how people selected books, what caught their attention, what made some people look at books more, and what they actually took to the register.
You and I are working on expanding your empire to include a radio show as well as another television series. Why did you want to enter those markets and what can fans expect?
To me, those are the things that I'm passionate about. For television, I love being able to create it, and it's one of the things that I've always enjoyed the most. Radio is something very natural to me. I'm able to take what I already do every single day, as far as dealing with women and their issues, and transform that to another medium. The thing is, I would not do anything that I don't feel comfortable with or, more importantly, that I don't feel passionate about. When publishers first started approaching me and told me they'd like me to change my writing style and tone down the sexuality in the books, I turned them down, no matter how much money they were offering.
What's your No. 1 tip for aspiring sex and relationship writers?
Character development is important across the board, whether it's TV, movies, books or whatever medium. A lot of people say they can write a hot sex scene and they say, "Oh, that's erotic," and it's not. People write romance scenes and sex scenes and no one cares. Why should they? Pornography is simply two people walking into a room and going at each other. Erotica is when you know who the people are, what they mean to each other. You see the whole vision. You want people to know these characters, hold them dear and be vested in the character. To me, there is nothing more important.

One of most common design patterns used on the Web is the model-view-controller. Though some variations of this pattern exist, the basic idea is simple – a controller parses and processes the incoming HTTP request, thinks for a while, and then writes a view as HTTP response.
The point of this post is not to blame MVC, but to point out that implementations in web frameworks may be leading to higher time to first byte times.
But did you know that, this style, as commonly implemented, may be slowing down your site? See the waterfall charts below for some of the Alexa's top 500 sites in US, captured using webpagetest over the DSL network profile with Firefox.
When you look from the network perspective, all these charts share a common pattern – deafening silence, followed by a log jam.
The network is silent when the server is thinking (the green area). As soon as response starts to trickle down (the blue area), the browser starts new network activity and immediately gets into a log jam mode. In this mode, the browser is busy making DNS look ups, TCP handshakes, followed by several HTTP requests over a limited number of connections.
From a user experience point of view, this is bad as it leads to a rapid backlog of HTTP requests. As the number of connections is limited, it takes a while for this log jam to clear up which increases the overall page latency. A protocol like SPDY can deal with the log jam better, but reducing the jam is better for the user.
The problem here is not with MVC per se, but how it is commonly implemented. Most often, the thinking part consists of talking to back-end systems and/or some computation completely blocking response generation. Even in implementations that do some of this thinking asynchronously, view rendering ofter starts after the thinking part is done. This contributes to higher "time to first byte" times and the subsequent log jam.
Below is a waterfall chart of a site that minimizes this log jam.
In this case, the server is starting HTML delivery as soon possible so that the browser can start to download some of those resources sooner. The HTML delivery continues even after some of the subsequent resources complete. This is possible by interleaving HTML delivery with backend work and stream chunks of response as they become ready.
Though such sooner delivery does not completely avoid the log jam, it does help ease it.
If you do MVC, don't forget to think from the network point of view.

The Ultimate Studio Experience
With a innovative design that tips its hats to the BBC monitors of the 70s, they are already one of the most recognized speakers around, with a beautiful high gloss finish and a dead centre rose gold Uni-Q driver they are not a speaker you will forget quickly.
A sound usually only available on larger speakers, these compact mini monitors will do nothing but impress & offers a multi-dimensional soundstage usually unavailable from such a compact design & will hardly miss a beat even when driven hard.
Although a lot different in looks the design principles have been taken from the flagship KEF blade speakers. From the driver technology, baffle design & internal damping these can all be followed back to the blades.
Compact in proportions and yet offering full bodied, stereo sound with 3 dimensional sound staging, the LS50 is a 2-way design featuring a 130mm Uni-Q bass/ midrange driver with a 25mm dome tweeter located in the centre of the Uni-Q unit. A wide frequency range of 47Hz - 45kHz enables the LS50 to captivate the listener on any style of music. 100W power handling with a sensitivity of 85dB/W yields a truly enjoyable and accomplished mini loudspeaker. Piano black finish.
The LS50 not only won What Hifi's 'Best Stand mount' in its price range, but also won their Readers' Award.
EISA said,
'…As promised, the LS50 delivers a remarkably big sound with vivid imaging and a tremendous bass weight that belies its compact dimensions. Shut your eyes and you'll believe you are listening to a far bigger loudspeaker.'
What Hi-Fi said
We're impressed by the speaker's seamless integration, as we are by the way it sets up a huge stereo image populated by securely focused sounds…most importantly these speakers are fun to listen to. Product of the year 2012

Central + Western New York
Hotels in Central + Western New York
One of two lakeside inns in buildings owned by Wells College, the 1858 former residence was reimagined, top to toe, by American Girl doll creator Pleasant Rowland—part of a one-woman beautification campaign in a historic Finger Lakes town.
The rooms at the Sherwood Inn—a former stagecoach stop—have lake views and fireplaces.
The property is a nice change from the area's chain hotels: B&B accommodations, art glass, and antiques in an 1890 Greek Revival mansion in a leafy residential neighborhood.
The rentals are simple and summery, like the town of Clayton itself, with screened porches and a view of the St. Lawrence River.
Built in 1909, this Federal-style resort makes a grand first impression thanks to 30-foot pillars and a lengthy walkway up to the entrance. Wide verandas overlook Otsego Lake (dubbed the Glimmerglass), the pool, and golf course.
The lakeside Victorian B&B has romantic rooms decked out with Persian rugs and antique beds.
This charming little B&B in an 1855 Gothic Revival house on Van Cleef Lake features Victorian antiques and full sit-down breakfasts.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Five Las Vegas-area high schools are being sanitized after norovirus broke out among people using the facilities last week for a youth football tournament.
Clark County School District officials notified parents through robocalls that they'd be doing extra cleaning at Mojave, Western, Canyon Springs, Cheyenne and Chaparral high schools.
Teams played at the schools during the four-day National Youth Football Championships that ended Saturday.
Tournament officials say about 90 to 100 people came down with flu-like symptoms during the event, including more than two dozen who went to the hospital but were quickly released.
Officials with the Southern Nevada Health District concluded Monday that norovirus was the cause of the sickness, but they haven't pinpointed its origin.

Tonya Pritchett had come to close a chapter in her life when she journeyed to Tennessee to collect the belongings of her late mother.
Instead, she watched in shock as the remnants of her mother's life, which ended three years ago, were engulfed in flames earlier this week.
"It's only by the grace of God that I'm here," Pritchett said, standing in the dark, staring at the charred remnants of a U-Haul truck. ...

Lafarge to Cut 460 Jobs Worldwide, Including 90 in France
Lafarge SA, the world's biggest cement maker, will eliminate 460 jobs globally as it pushes ahead with an overhaul.
Of the headcount reduction, the Paris-based company will cut 90 jobs in France through a "voluntary redundancy" plan, the company said in a statement.
Chief Executive Officer Bruno Lafont in November announced a plan to save an extra 500 million euros ($658 million) in expenses from 2012. He also said then that the company will continue to sell assets after shedding more than 2 billion euros of assets in 2011.
Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service cut Lafarge's credit rating to below investment grade last year, saying the company will have difficulty restoring profitability because of rising raw-material prices, political turmoil in the Middle East and a lingering construction slump in countries such as the U.S., Spain and Greece.

Precollege Teacher Enhancement and Leadership Training
Providing Online Distance Learning Opportunities in
|Teachers! Participate in WES!
|Locate WES Team by State
he American Meteorological Society (AMS) received a major grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct a Teacher Enhancement Project with a strong leadership component. An innovative Internet-based distance-learning course directed towards middle-school teachers, but open to all K-12 teachers, has been developed and is being implemented nationwide. The course, DataStreme Water in the Earth System (WES) Online, incorporates inquiry-based instructional strategies and a holistic concept of Earth from oceanic, atmospheric and terrestrial water and problem-focused perspectives. It is designed after the highly successful DataStreme distance-learning course, and investigates the mass and energy flows associated with the global water cycle, and with related issues.
ourse participants will be prepared as WES resource teachers. They will demonstrate, through investigations of the global water cycle, the value of Internet access to environmental information in classroom applications. All teachers involved will be prepared to promote Earth system studies across the school curriculum in support of the National Science Education Standards.

Israeli DM: All Options on the Table Against Iran
Terms Iran an 'Existential Threat' to Israel
Most of Israel has stopped talking about the possible attack on Iran to talk about early elections. Speaking today at Israel's Foreign Press Association, Defense Minister Ehud Barak apparently didn't get the memo.
Instead, Barak went on to declare Iran an "existential threat" to Israel, declaring that "all options are on the table" and accusing those opposed to the war of "burying their heads in the sand."
Barak's statements were, of course, nothing new and if they had been made even a couple of weeks ago they would've barely registered as news. With a growing number of top former officials now outspoken in their opposition to the war, his "business as usual" approach is certain to be controversial.
So to will be his comments that time is running out, as it fits into a previous narrative that an Israeli attack needed to come by the end of the summer to be effective. This suggests Barak might be looking to start a war on his way out the door, leaving whoever is elected in the fall to pick up the pieces.

Barak should be in the Hague with all of the blood, and destruction that has happened on his watch while he has been in government. If Israel strikes Iran, one must hope that a Iranian, or Hezbollah missile finds Bibi, Barak, and Liberman…good riddance to this trash..
Yes, business as usual, nothing new, Zionist Israel is in the business of WARS….WARS = Defense Sales, High Oil Prices, Huge Pharma Contracts, all benefitting Zionists owned industries….Iranian dictators have no interests, plans, or desire to bomb any country, Iran hasn't for the last 300 years, tell me when did Israel or USA attack other countries, hahaha
Here we go with the 'existential scapegoat… er, existential threat' again.
Well I sure hope that what ever the option that Israel pick that they leave the USA out of it. We have bled to much already for war of choices. It is amazing that people listen to exactly the same yells as Iraq but they fail to look at the same war mongers who are doing the yelling. Hey no one pushed more for the Iraq fiasco than Barak, Bibi, JOe and a liberman, John Mccain, John bolton. These are the same people who help arm Saddam the decade before so he could attack Iran. If Iran was such a bad nation then why did these people stop supporting Saddam and then attack him. Oh I forgot they eventually eat all their friends. BTW if you go back to 1910 when the USA was flooded by war mongers you will pretty much here some insane war mongering. The USA with people from German being the largest percentage of our population sudden was yelling for death to the huns. We should have avoided wwi which caused wwii and that lead to the mess in the middle east. Maybe we should ignore the war monger or at least let them actually be the front line fighters. At least that way we can eventually get them killed off. The fighiting their wars only gets them wanting more wars.
MORE THREATS against 'deterrenceless' Iran……….
Dictionary.com: de·ter·rence
/dɪˈtɜrəns, -ˈtʌr-, -ˈtɛr-/ Show Spelled[dih-tur-uhns, -tuhr-, -ter-] Show IPA
the act of deterring, especially deterring a nuclear attack by the capacity or threat of retaliating.
The Jewish State illustrates well the danger of nuclear weapons…………. Especially in the hands of those educated in a Nazi like environment of territorial conquest and racial supremacism …… The world empowers their not always softcore genocide against the native people there with aid, complicity and indifference. The world turns a blind eye to their illegal conquests, territorial lust and thinly veiled nuclear threats…. Eventually their reckless and provocative ways will create a worthy adversary…….. and they will have created what they claim, to be their paramount fear………….
This has become as irritating as a broken record; or to use the modern version: a scratched CD.
Look at the mocking terrorist, so open, brazen about their sick bloodlust. He MUST have America by the balls or he wouldn't dare shoot his mouth off like that.
What has Iran done to Israel? In this century? How many thousands of km are separating these two nations?
Bloviating religious extremist terrorists of the Hebrew Supremo kind need to be SHOT, or at least put in their little place. (NEVER AGAIN, rang the cry, NEVER AGAIN will a US President dare to cutoff aid to Israel – Poppy Bush will be the last…)
I hope Iran does whatever is neccessary to protect its storied land, proud people and rich cultural history from these disgusting warmongering Nazi creeps.
(that's the best right there – the more the regime occupying Jerusalem behaves like Nazis, the more rabid the ADL//AIPAC dogs scream, ANTISEMITE!!! as if NO! Impossible! A jew, behaving like a Nazi? Why, that's just ABSURD!!!)
"They eventually eat all their friends"
that about sums it up in a nutshell, sir. People nowadays would have to be stupid or naive to ever trust these people. America's post WW2 good guy pose has been all but pissed away by the spoiled children of US and Israel who seem to live in an evil vacuum. Killing and killing with seemingly no pause, no repercussion, no prosecution.
That little Israeli dog needs to stop barking already. It is FAR worse than its bite.
If all options are on the table, then I presume Israel signing the NPT, giving up its nuclear arsenal, and joining a nuclear-free Middle East zone is prominent among them.

Vein ligation and stripping is a minor surgery. It is used to remove a damaged vein and prevent complications of vein damage. If several valves in a vein and the vein itself are heavily damaged, the vein (or the diseased part of the vein) is removed (stripped). An incision is made below the vein, a flexible instrument is threaded up the vein to the first incision, and the vein is grasped and removed.
During this surgery, one or more incisions are made over the damaged veins, and the vein is tied off (ligated). If the ligation cuts off a faulty valve and the vein and valves below the faulty valve are healthy, the vein may be left in place to continue circulating blood through other veins that still have valves that work well.
Vein ligation and stripping typically do not require a hospital stay and are done on an outpatient basis with regional or general anesthesia. Most people go home the same day of their surgery.
Most likely, you will be able to return to work within a few days. After several weeks, you can resume normal leisure and recreational activities.
Vein ligation and stripping is generally done on large varicose veins. It also can be done to prevent venous skin ulcers from returning after treatment. This surgery may be used when:
If you have both small and large varicose veins, you may have more than one type of treatment. Following vein ligation and stripping to treat large varicose veins, you may have sclerotherapy to treat smaller varicose veins.
Vein ligation and stripping should not be done in:
Vein ligation and stripping removes varicose veins successfully in 80 out of 100 people. That means it does not work for 20 out of 100 people.footnote 1
Vein ligation and stripping surgery has some risks, such as scarring and varicose veins recurring. Also, if the deep vein system is damaged, surgery may make problems with blood flow in the veins worse. Varicose vein surgery has the same risks associated with general surgery, including infection, bleeding, and anesthesia risks.
If the largest vein in the leg (great saphenous vein, or GSV) is stripped below the knee, numbness may result due to nerve injury.
If you are thinking of ligation and stripping, consider some questions to ask about varicose vein treatment. These questions include: How much experience does the doctor have with the particular treatment? How much do the exam and treatment cost?
In the past there was concern about removing the great saphenous vein, because this vein is often used as a replacement or graft for an artery in the heart when a person has bypass surgery. Doctors now believe that there is no reason not to strip the GSV in the leg if needed. If the vein is badly damaged, it will not work as a vein graft anyway. In most cases a blood vessel from the chest (mammary artery) can be used during heart bypass surgery instead of the GSV. If necessary, arm veins can be used.
Vein stripping surgery is seldom done for people who have chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) resulting from deep vein problems and who also have varicose veins. Removing varicose veins close to the surface of the skin (superficial varicose veins) may cause problems if the deep leg veins are also damaged. If you are considering this surgery, get an opinion from a vascular specialist.

VA responding to growing number of female veterans
Tina Howell lies on a padded vinyl examination table for a routine pregnancy checkup at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System in Oakland.
"Everything seems to be great," nurse practitioner Margie Muldoon says.
Howell, 31, of Latrobe is taking advantage of the VA's recently opened Women's Health Center in its Oakland hospital. An Army veteran with a medical discharge for five herniated discs, she can get her pregnancy exam and, if she wants, consult a specialist for her back problem in the same building.
It's part of a nationwide push by the VA to make its hospitals more friendly to women, because the number of female veterans is growing fast.
This comes as the agency counters criticism for troubling incidents at its hospitals nationwide. About 13,000 veterans during the past two years were warned to have their blood tested for potentially fatal infections because of improper hygiene practices at five VA hospitals in Ohio, Florida, Missouri and Tennessee. The VA mistakenly told more than 1,200 veterans nationwide that they suffer from a fatal neurological disease.
And the Government Accountability Office two years ago chided the agency's disregard of female patients -- particularly the lack of privacy in some facilities and some doctors' unfamiliarity with women's needs. The VA is training doctors specifically to address women's care.
In April, the VA opened the $1.6 million women's center in Pittsburgh. In Butler and Mercer counties, the agency hired primary-care providers for women, and the VA in Butler appointed liaisons to handle women's health issues at outpatient clinics.
Between 2000 and 2036, the VA projects the number of female veterans will rise from 1.6 million to more than 2.1 million. It expects the number of male veterans to decrease from 25.1 million to more than 11.9 million, as the number of living World War II and Korean War veterans diminishes.
In Western Pennsylvania, the VA reports, the proportion of women among veterans is soaring from 4.4 percent in 2000 to an estimated 11.6 percent in 2030.
Dr. JoAnne Suffoletto, a staff physician for the Women's Health Center in Pittsburgh, said the fastest-growing group of female veterans is women of reproductive age who served in the 1990-91 Gulf War and the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
VA officials hope the center encourages more female veterans to seek medical care through the agency.
"Women in particular always felt if they didn't suffer a serious injury as a result of their service, they can't come to the VA," said Deborah Mitchell, female veterans program manager. "In fact, the VA offers five years of totally free care" covering most medical conditions for combat veterans serving since Nov. 11, 1998. Other veterans can get medical care from the VA if they have service-related disabilities.
The VA designed the women's center as a one-stop shop for physicals, pap smears, mammograms or consultations with specialists.
"It takes less time out of their life to get everything done," Mitchell said.
Howell began going to the VA after her 2003 discharge from the Army and she has noticed the changes.
"From 2003 to now, it's almost night and day," she said. "I still felt I was in the military with all the guys, another number, and now it seems more patient-centered care."
Female veterans cite as frequent problems low back pain from driving on unpaved roads, foot problems from ill-fitting boots, post-traumatic stress disorder and subsequent abuse of drugs and alcohol, she said. VA officials say one of the most common problems is military sexual trauma.
Nationally, the VA reports, about one in five women say they experienced sexual trauma during their military service, compared with one in 100 men. The GAO found 284 sexual assaults were reported at VA facilities around the country from January 2007 to July 2010.
Valerie K. Cortazzo of Penn Hills said she is a victim of military sexual trauma. She has a 60 percent disability from a head injury she suffered in a car accident while in the Navy in Panama. She is trying to get her disability coverage increased because of post-traumatic stress, which she said is related to a rape and an attempted rape by civilians and a sexual relationship with her military supervisor.
She said her medical care from the VA is good, but she had difficulty getting more benefits for post-traumatic stress.
Patty Kopa, a spokeswoman for the regional Veterans Benefits Association, said the VA's under secretary for benefits in June directed staff members who handle military sexual trauma claims to get sensitivity training. The VA staff in Pittsburgh received that training on Aug. 8.
Anne Manly, 54, of Morningside goes to the VA in Oakland for a shoulder injury. She said she likes her caregivers so much that she might make the VA her main medical provider.
A retired Air Force colonel, she served as chief nurse at a trauma hospital in Iraq. She tearfully recalls the makeshift services during which medics and nurses wheeled wounded warriors on gurneys to say good-bye to flag-draped coffins of dead comrades. Some were teenagers.
"They wanted to be with their buddy one more time," she said.

|How immunocompromised are short bowel patients receiving home parenteral nutrition? Apropos a case of disseminated Fusarium oxysporum sepsis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19892906 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|BACKGROUND: Catheter-related sepsis is the most frequent complication in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN) for short bowel syndrome (SBS). A low-grade systemic inflammatory state and an altered mucosal immune response, as well as diminished intestinal barrier function have been characterized in these patients. The possibility of systemic immunocompromise has only recently been suggested. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 45-year-old female with traumatic SBS was admitted for possible catheter-related sepsis. She was asplenic and had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus as a result of a pancreatic resection. A large skin ulceration was present on her left calf, which appeared unusual for a disseminated bacterial infection. Chest x-ray and computed tomography scan revealed multiple subpleural pulmonary infiltrates consistent with bacterial or fungal dissemination. Blood cultures from the port system and from the peripheral blood grew Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Fusarium oxysporum. The port system was removed, and flucloxacillin and voriconazole were given for 33 and 35 days, respectively. Clinical signs of disseminated sepsis resolved slowly. Bone marrow biopsy ruled out primary hematologic disease. CONCLUSIONS: (1) Catheter-related sepsis in patients on HPN is usually caused by Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria or by Candida species. Identification of molds in blood cultures strongly suggests Fusarium species, which should be treated appropriately with voriconazole or amphotericin B. (2) HPN and SBS aggravated by asplenism and diabetes mellitus can cause severe immunocompromise. (3) Fusaria have a strong tendency to persist or reappear after bone marrow transplantation, which is therefore relatively contraindicated in these patients.

Thousands of crows roost swarm over the rectory of St. Mary's Catholic Church downtown.
The second year of the bird abatement program in downtown Rochester has begun. TV news coverage featured people mentioning noise as one problem and bird droppings as another.
Using lasers and fireworks, the city hopes the birds and the problems they cause will go away. This got me thinking. Can we assemble a volunteer squad of concerned citizens armed with Tasers who search for people who throw cigarette butts and litter on the ground? Repeated Taser jolts might teach them a lesson, and clean up the city.
Birds are part of nature. Cigarette butts are not. Everyone needs to decide which is the real problem.

It's Italian! From its creamy texture and slow cooking to its flavors of garlic, pine nuts and Parmesan, this side dish is a keeper.
To toast pine nuts, cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until light brown.
Take your time with risotto--the secret to the creamy texture is a combination of slowly adding the liquid and constant stirring.

text: Posted 29 Jan 2013 · Report post Hi, I've been on the regimen for a little more than half a year, and I am want to start looking for good alternatives to Dan's products that I can buy in stores. I used to buy all my products from him (cleanser, b.p, moisturizer, jojoba oil), but I logged on today to place an order and found my shipping was up to $23.30! Before it used to be $13.30 (I live in Canada). That is way too expensive for me. So I've sent an email to Customer Care asking why it's so pricey, but I have a feeling that there is nothing they can do about it. Sooooooooo, I need to start looking for some alternatives that I can buy in stores. And I was hoping that people on the Acne.org message boards would be able to share some great suggestions with me. I need a cleanser and treatment recommendation. I am currently using the Cetaphil daily moisturizer since I ran out of my Dan's moisturizer, so I think I am good for a moisturizer, but if you guys have any suggestions that would be cool as well. My skin has moderate acne, and I've learnt to expect that it isn't ever going to be completely clear, and I'm okay with that. What I am looking for is products that will just keep it from going out of control; in other words, very effective products. I am into more natural products, and I am open to how to homemade products as well. The product which I really need a suggestion for is the treatment/b.p, because I have no idea what sort of product I can buy that will substitute for a B.P cream. The only thing I could think of is getting a prescription from a doctor for BenzaClin (a 5% B.P cream, which I used to have a prescription for), but it is quite pricey at $60/bottle. Plus it's not as effective as I would like it to be. Any suggestions you guys have for a cleanser, treatment or moisturizer would be great. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Media spotlight takes its toll on Gabby Douglas, Lolo Jones
The Washington Post | Chicago Tribune | Today
"It took just four days to suck all the vibrancy out of Douglas," writes the Post's Sally Jenkins about Gabby Douglas, who went from a gold medal performance last week to slipping off the balance beam on Tuesday. The competition itself was exhausting, but so were all the questions from the media about being a black gymnast:
Douglas genuinely doesn't see color — it's not her first thought. Yet she was drilled incessantly with questions about being a woman of color in gymnastics. How can she get more African American children to pay attention to gymnastics, she was asked? "I can't control that," she said tonelessly.
But those questions aren't going to stop anytime soon because race is part of Douglas' marketability, as the Chicago Tribune's Diane Pucin reports: Read more

What Rangers' Yu Darvish has in common with Nationals phenom Stephen Strasburg
In striking out 11 batters, RHP Yu Darvish became the 15th pitcher since 1918 to have a pair of double-digit strikeout performances among his first six career outings. Darvish also struck out 10 against the New York Yankees. The last pitcher to do it was Washington's Stephen Strasburg.
Briefly: The Rangers may get fortunate if they can get to the Baltimore bullpen Monday. The Orioles, who began Sunday leading the majors in relief ERA (1.52), used seven relievers and former Rangers infielder Chris Davis on the mound to beat Boston in 17 innings. The six relievers ahead of Davis, who got the win, each threw at least 22 pitches. … Adrian Beltre's 11th-inning pinch hit home run Saturday was the fourth extra-inning pinch hit homer in Rangers history and the first since Doug Strange did it on April 7, 1993. … After winning six series to open the season, the Rangers have now lost their last three. They have not lost three straight series since June 6-16 last year against Detroit, Minnesota and New York.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Pro Bowl guard Will Shields is retiring after 14 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 35-year-old announced his decision on his website on Sunday. He said the physical requirements of football had become more difficult with each passing day.
"The decision to hang up my cleats has not been an easy one to make for me, but one I knew I would eventually have to make," Shields wrote. "Today, I am letting everyone know that I am putting away my pads."
Shields, who has played in a franchise-record 224 games, made his 12th Pro Bowl appearance last season to tie the record held by Minnesota guard Randall McDaniel.
Shields' agent, Joseph Linta, did not immediately return a message left by the Associated Press.
Chiefs spokesman Bob Moore said no one in the administration was aware of Shields' decision.
"We haven't spoken with Will regarding his future plans," Moore said. "I'm sure in due time we will speak if that's the path he takes."
Moore said Shields had indicated that he planned to make a decision about his retirement this spring.
"Without question, Shields has been more than a good player," Moore said. "He's been a major figure in the community. There's no doubt that whatever decision he makes, he will continue to hold that position."
On his site, Shields thanked fellow players, coaches and his wife and children.
"I am looking forward to a future filled with sports in mind," he wrote. "Whether it is in the stands, on the sideline, in the press box or in an office -- football will remain in my blood. My best wishes to all and I hope to see you soon. Thank you again, for all your support."

The use of alcohol in hospitals decreases
Recent research has shown that medical advances and a better understanding of the treatment of disease has led to a dramatic fall in the amount of alcohol used in Irish hospitals. Whereas alcohol was frequently used across a range of treatments, it has been replaced by a diet of more modern and effective treatments.
In Steeven's Hospital, for instance, £275 worth of alcohol was used in 1884. With the shift away from alcohol the spend in 1905 had fallen to a mere £75. The same story is repeated across the hospitals of Ireland, and the research argues that the days of alcohol being used in hospitals are numbered.

Ether2 Launches 'The Q.' To Resolve Network Bandwidth Bottlenecks
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 14. Today Ether2 launched "The Q." at Fall Demo 2010. The Q. is a breakthrough network technology that eliminates bottlenecks by applying broadcasting economies to broadband communications. Like original TV and radio, The Q. enables an unlimited number of users to share the network without incurring additional overhead.
At low traffic with a small number of users almost any network protocol will do and even QoS can be managed, as is the case with WiMAX. However, with a great number of competing users or with bursty traffic, the efficiency of WiFi, WiMAX and ZigBee falls sharply and QoS is difficult to guarantee. The Q. does this easily, by applying appropriate scheduling criteria for any application: maximized throughput, minimized energy consumption, and guaranteed priorities for voice and video packets. Benefits also include trustworthy networking to stop network-borne malware and hacking for privacy and security.
This unique solution also provides a migration path to future network architectures, including the Internet. Immediate applications include Body Area Networks for wireless sensors in healthcare and the military, supporting advances in multi-antenna mesh networks.
"We are launching this as an open standard to spur adoption and grow our developer community. Companies in many countries should emerge from our designs, helping us to establish the future of the Internet," said Ether2's Jonathan Gael. "Our technology is the first open source network that is not just a software solution. There are other examples of open source hardware, like the Arduino robotics controller. As Arduino is to robotics and Linux is to operating systems, Ether2 will be at the center of the distributed queueing universe."

Wolves: Dave Edwards signs new two-year contract at Molineux
Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards has signed a new two-year contract with the promoted Championship club.
Shropshire-born Edwards, 28, who began his career at boyhood heroes Shrewsbury Town, was signed by Mick McCarthy from Luton Town in January 2008.
His new deal ties him to Molineux to June 2016, which would be expected to make him Wolves' longest-serving outfield player.
Dave Edwards' ups and downs
- Jan 2008 - Signed for Wolves from Luton Town for a reported £675,000.
- April 2009 - Promotion to Premier League.
- May 2010 - Wolves finish 15th on 38 points - eight clear of trouble. Edwards out for four months with ankle injury.
- May 2011 - Wolves finish 17th, staying up by a point. Edwards misses last three months of season with back injury.
- May 2012 - Relegated to Championship. Edwards misses final two months of season with broken foot.
- May 2013- Relegated to League One.
- May 2014 - League One champions. Promoted back up to Championship.
"You'd be mad not to want to be part of it with everything happening," he said.
"It's a great time to be involved here whether you're a fan, employee or a player.
"I'm not sure what the expectation is going to be outside the club but inside we know what we want to do.
"You have to be aiming and looking towards the top six. We are going to go into every game trying to win it.
"I have no doubt that within the squad we are going to be up there and fighting to be in and around it."
The 26-times capped Wales international, whose nine goals in 22 starts took his career tally to 40 goals in 339 appearances, added: "Last season has really rekindled my love of the game.
"It's been a privilege to play for this club and last season was one of the most enjoyable."
Defender Richard Stearman, Wolves' third longest-serving outfield player after Kevin Foley and Edwards, is still to agree a new deal.
Wolves boss Kenny Jackett has so far made two signings, left-sided utility man Tommy Rowe from Peterbrough and Netherlands Under-21 winger Rajiv van La Parra from Dutch side Heerenveen.
And they are still reported to be in contention to sign 21-year-old Sheffield United central defender Harry Maguire.

I recently purchased the Mass Effect 2 1.02 trainer of cheatscape, however when I open the trainer it stops responding and crashes. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and I've switched it of and tried running the trainer and I have the same outcome. I've also add an exception for the folder and the actual trainer and i still get the same outcome. I am running Windows 7 64-bit. I know the trainer does work because it works fine on a laptop with Widows 7 and Security Essentials installed on it.
I would be thankful for any help to solve this issue.

The StrongArm cranks have evolved quite a bit since their start. The 2 piece arm uses a custom stamped, cro-mo faceplate, which is domed for extra strength and to make sure they are easy on your ankles. The welded on backing plate is thick enough to give the domed arm extra strength while remaining nice and lightweight. Both ends of the arms are fully encapsulated to ensure extra strength at both the spindle end and the pedal boss.
Running off of a hollow 4130 cro-mo 19mm x 48 spline spindle means that there are a ton of bottom bracket and gear choices. Outboard bearing BB, Euro BB, Mid BB even Spanish and American BB kits will work. This makes the StrongArms available to work on almost any frame. And now for 2012 they are stock with drive bosses for both right hand and left hand drive. And for Regular size gearing, Micro Drive or Spline Drive.

As President-elect Obama generously takes on the overwhelming responsibilities that await him, there are a couple of fundamental changes in perspective that need to be kept in mind.
Our country needs to learn to act not merely for economic benefit but to encourage people's natural inclination toward justice. We must reward the love, generosity, compassion, imagination, and wonder that would protect the beauty of the planet Earth and all life that abounds here.
We must also realize that terrorism is not stopped by wars, walls or interrogation under torture. Terrorism is stopped by education and by building relationships of trust that even out the playing field for everyone.
A way of demonstrating generosity is the proposed Global Marshall Plan, which would devote 1 to 2 percent of the gross product of each developed nation over 20 years to help 2 billion of the world's people move out of poverty through aid and investments specifically directed toward them.
This proposal was introduced in the House of Representatives as H. Res. 1078, and more information is available from the Network of Spiritual Progressives.
The United States should take the lead in initiating the building of a just and compassionate world order.

Date set for Iran-EU nuclear talksComment on this story
DUBAI - An Iranian news agency said on Wednesday that Iran and six world powers would resume talks over the Islamic state's nuclear programme in late January but a European Union official said the two sides had yet to agree a date.
The Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) gave no source for its report and later on Wednesday appeared to have deleted it from its website, without giving a reason.
Russia voiced alarm last week at delays in agreeing a new round of talks on the Iranian programme, which the West suspects is aimed at developing a nuclear weapon capability. Iran says it is enriching uranium for peaceful energy purposes.
Three rounds of negotiations in 2012, the last one in June in Moscow, failed to achieve a breakthrough in the decade-old dispute which has the potential to spark a new Middle East war.
The ISNA report said the two sides would meet again on January 28 and 29. But it also said the date could change depending on which location was agreed. It cited Istanbul and Geneva and "some other cities" as possible places.
A diplomat in Vienna, where the U.N. nuclear agency is based, suggested the dates cited by ISNA could be correct. Both the diplomat and ISNA said the venue had not yet been decided.
"That's what we've heard too, still working on the venue," the diplomat said.
But a spokesman for European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in Brussels that no date had yet been set.
"Contacts are still ongoing. We are waiting for the Iranians to respond," Michael Mann said when asked about the ISNA report.
Ashton oversees contacts with Iran over its disputed nuclear programme on behalf of the six powers - the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany.
Western diplomats had hoped for negotiations to restart in December or mid-January. Since the last meeting in June, Iran has pressed ahead with its disputed work and amassed more material which can have both civilian and military purposes.
Israel - a U.S. ally believed to have the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal - has threatened military action if diplomacy and economic sanctions intended to rein in Iran's uranium enrichment programme do not resolve the stand-off.
Enriched uranium can fuel nuclear power plants, Iran's declared goal, but also provide material for bombs if refined further, which the West suspects is Tehran's ultimate ambition.
ISNA's report coincided with a new round of separate negotiations in Tehran on Wednesday between the U.N. nuclear agency and Iran.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been trying for a year to negotiate a so-called structured approach with Tehran that would give it access to officials, documents and sites. - Reuters

A proposal that would allow escorted off-road vehicles to drive carefully and gingerly past tiny, vulnerable piping plover nests at Nauset Beach this summer is ignoring an 800-pound elephant on the trails.
What about the natural predators?
First, some background.
When angry off-road permit holders complained last summer about the closure of sand roads leading south from the Nauset Beach parking lot for a record 83 days, from June 2 to Aug. 23, Orleans Selectman John Hodgson and Chatham Selectman Sean Summers spearheaded a working group to appeal to state and federal officials for relief from the closures.
The plovers are protected under the federal Endangered Species Act, which prohibits harassment or harm to the birds and their habitat.
For several months now, the working group has been trying to find a way to protect the plover and allow some beach access. The result is the Habitat Conservation Plan, which would allow escorted vehicles to drive past a maximum of two broods of piping plovers, and up to eight chicks in total, after July 15. The maximum number of vehicles allowed each day would be 200. Vehicles would be grouped in caravans of up to 66 cars. Implementing the drive-around procedures this summer could cost $30,000 to $40,000.
Currently, about 800 vehicles at any single time can use both trail systems when they are completely open, generating hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for the town in off-road sticker sales.
The Habitat Conservation Plan seems like a pretty good compromise.
The problem, however, is the plan fails to address the wild predators. Crows, sea gulls, coyote and fox all prey on the plover eggs and chicks. As a matter of fact, the predators have killed far more plovers than humans have.
As a result, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which is responsible for protecting the endangered species, has maintained that any habitat conservation plan must include a predator-culling component. Problem is, no one wants to shoot Wily Coyote, Jonathan Livingston Seagull or the Sly Fox.
But if we really want to protect endangered species, we will need to spend as much effort keeping predators at bay as we do keeping humans away.
Government sharpshooters may be effective in reducing a limited number of coyote and fox, but what to do about sea gulls and crows? There are so many of them that culling efforts would likely be ineffective. But if culling begins, the federal and state governments should take on the expense and the political heat, not the local towns.
As we stated in November, there must be a way to balance protection with access. Common sense suggests that there should be a middle ground between unrestrained ORV use and the closing of so much shoreline during the summer months.
A few carefully monitored test cases at select Cape beaches in the coming years, such as the one proposed at Nauset, may be part of the answer. Such an effort could provide an opportunity to test strategies while also offering limited access. But somehow, and at some point, all parties are going to have to consider the 800-pound elephant.
The key here is a coordinated, cooperative process that relies on science, rather than emotions.

Shortly before the second-term inauguration of Barack Obama this January, I wrote the following of my worries over the Obama way of doing business:
But the untruths and hypocrisy hover in the partisan atmosphere and incrementally and insidiously undermine each new assertion that we hear from the president — some of them perhaps necessary and logical. Indeed, the more emphatically he adds "make no mistake about it," "let me be perfectly clear," "I'm not kidding," or the ubiquitous "me," "my," and "I" to each new assertion, the more a growing number of people will come to know from the past that what follows simply is not true. Does this matter? Yes, because when the reckoning comes, it will be seen as logical rather than aberrant — and long overdue.
I ended my prognostications with the warning, "And so a reckoning is on the near horizon. Let us pray it does not take us all down with his administration."
Four months later, it almost has.
