Bought the new Nikon 50mm AF-S F/1.8G and wanted to test it out. Took my daughter out to see what kind of pictures I could get. All natural light as the sun was setting and behind me.
Silly me, I left it in F2.2 as I know it should have been in F2.8 to get the sharpness in her eyes more. Overall I am happy with the shot. Please be as harsh as you like in your critique as I want to learn from others opinions.

Hi Mike,
Very nice image, lots of very neutral lighting and I must say that your daughter is beautiful. One thing though and I am no portrait expert but I think the shot would have worked better with eye contact rather than her looking away like she is. The eye contact engages the viewer with the subject and makes for a more pleasing image and gives the subject a less posed look.
Hope this helps

The lens is obviously very goods. I would have gone for an aperture to get both eyes sharp - f8 may be. There seems to be a tendency to use these lenses wide open all the time and that wide aperture is there in case you need it. Mono is OK, but I would still like colour and the conversion is a little dark - and eye contact. Eye contact would actually probably have solved the depth of field too.
Still a nice image in general.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Quote: A cracking lens and a nice image but compositionally I would like to see a small amount cropped from the LHS to take the eye bridge closer to 1/3 the way in from the LHS: here is is a little too central for maximum impact. It is always best to aloow people to look into frames, vehicles to drive in etc it always makes your image easier and generally better on the eye. I will upload a mod to give you my suggestion. Maximum aperture is the worst performing aprt of your lens and so stopping down a little is preferable when you are able to do so, in this case maybe to at least f5.6.
Thanks for the modification. I really like it too. I will def be experimenting with the lens and seeing what I can produce.
@Davesumner & paulbroad and Thank you for the comment. I would have gotten lower to be more on an eye level with her, but I was not going to squat in a mud hold . I will be work my way through the aperture's of the lens to see what I can produce. Its all a learning curve and I am sure I will be really happy with the future results of this nice lens.

Hi Mike, I have the older D version of this great lens and I have been using it at the wider end too. I personally think that there is just about enough sharpness here though I have to agree that f/2.8 would be better. If you stop down much further you start to bring the background into focus so it's about finding the right balance. Best to try a variety of apertures and see which works best (says me who will rattle off loads at the same aperture!).
I also agree with the compositional shift suggested by Frank.
A really nice portrait though and I look forward to more.

Good point, I guess it only works in manual focus on a D3100 whereas it works in auto on a D90. Otherwise I would have had to save up even more for the G series.

Burning with wodim
Burn Notice
Wodim works behind the scenes in popular CD/ DVD-burning software, but it's even more powerful at the command line.
Many people have used some form of Linux in an appliance or mobile device without knowing. The wodim utility is similarly anonymous: If you have used a desktop CD/ DVD burner like Brasero or K3, then you've used wodim, and you've also used other tools, such as cdrdao and genisoimage; however, the main command is wodim. The tools on the desktop are just the front ends for wodim's array of command options.

Agio (Italian aggio) is a term used in commerce for exchange rate, discount or premium.
Exchange rate[edit]
The variations from fixed par values or rates of exchange in the currencies of different countries. For example, in most countries that used the gold standard, the standard coin was kept up to a uniform point of fineness. In particular, a freshly minted English sovereign was in a fixed relation to freshly minted coins of other countries: 1 ₤ = 25.221 francs = 20.429 marks = US$4.867, etc.
This rate, known as the mint par of exchange, did not necessarily coincide with the corresponding market exchange rates. The balance of trade between the countries determined the actual rate of exchange. If England has a negative balance of trade with France, for instance, currency of equal magnitude is remitted to France, which thus creates a demand for French currency. Procurement of that currency involves payment of a premium referred to as agio. It refers to exchange rate.
Exchange rate differential[edit]
The term was also used to denote the difference in exchange between two currencies in the same country where silver coinage was the legal tender. An agio was sometimes allowed for payment in the more convenient form of gold or where the paper currency value of a country fell below the bullion that it ostensibly represented.
In the process of use, coinage deteriorates over time, and its value falls below the nominal value. To illustrate, suppose that this reduction in the value of the pound is 5%. Reflecting their nominal value, 100 sovereigns in England would be accepted as a payment in full for 100₤ debt. Payment of debt outside of England is based, however, on the physical state of the coin. In this case each coin is valued as 0.95₤, and payment of 100₤ debt requires 100₤ / 0.95₤ = 105.26 coins — an agio of 5.26 sovereigns.

Israel bombs Gaza after shooting down Tel Aviv-bound rocket
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israel destroyed the headquarters of Hamas' prime minister and blasted a sprawling network of smuggling tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, broadening a blistering four-day-old offensive against the Islamic militant group even as diplomatic efforts to broker a cease-fire appeared to be gaining steam.
In neighboring Egypt, President Mohammed Morsi hosted leaders from Hamas and two key allies, Qatar and Turkey, to seek a way to end the fighting.
"There are discussions about the ways to bring a cease-fire soon, but there are no guarantees until now," Morsi said at a news conference. He said he was working with Turkey, Arab countries, the U.S., Russia and western European countries to halt the fighting.
Israel launched the operation on Wednesday in what it said was an effort to end months of rocket fire out of the Hamas-ruled territory. It began the offensive with an unexpected airstrike that killed Hamas' powerful military chief, and since then has relentlessly targeted suspected rocket launchers and storage sites.
In all, 46 Palestinians, including 15 civilians, have been killed and more than 400 civilians wounded, according to medical officials. Three Israeli civilians have been killed and more than 50 wounded.
Israeli military officials expressed satisfaction with their progress Saturday, claiming they have inflicted heavy damage to Hamas.
"Most of their capabilities have been destroyed," Maj. Gen. Tal Russo, Israel's southern commander, told reporters. Asked whether Israel is ready to send ground troops into Gaza, he said: "Absolutely."
The White House said President Barack Obama was also in touch with the Egyptian and Turkish leaders. The U.S. has solidly backed Israel so far.
Speaking on Air Force One, deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said that the White House believes Israel "has the right to defend itself" against attack and that the Israelis will make their own decisions about their "military tactics and operations."
The White House, which like Israel considers Hamas a terrorist organization, also continued to support Israel. "We believe Israel has a right to defend itself, and they'll make their own decisions about the tactics they use in that regard," deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters on Air Force One.
Despite the bruising offensive, Israel has failed to slow the barrages of rockets from Gaza.
The Israeli military said 160 rockets were launched into Israel on Saturday, raising the total number to roughly 500 since this week's fighting began. Eight Israelis, including five civilians, were lightly wounded Saturday, the army said.
Israel carried out at least 300 airstrikes on Saturday, the military said, and it broadened its array of targets. One air raid flattened the three-story office building used by Hamas' prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh. He was not inside the building at the time.
In southern Gaza, aircraft went after the tunnels that militants use to smuggle in weapons and other contraband from neighboring Egypt. Tunnel operators said the intensity of the bombing was unprecedented, and that massive explosions could be heard kilometers (miles) away, both in Gaza and in Egypt.
The operators, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the illicit nature of their business, said they cannot approach the tunnel area to assess the damage, but the blasts appeared to be more powerful than in Israel's last major push to destroy the tunnels during a previous offensive four years ago. The tunnels are a key lifeline for Hamas, bringing in both weapons and supporting a lucrative trade that helps fund the group's activities.
Missiles also smashed into two small security facilities and the massive Hamas police headquarters in Gaza City, setting off a huge blaze that engulfed nearby houses and civilian cars parked outside, the Interior Ministry reported. No one was inside the buildings.
Air attacks knocked out five electricity transformers, cutting off power to more than 400,000 people in southern Gaza, according to the Gaza electricity distribution company. People switched on backup generators for limited electrical supplies.
Hamas has unveiled an arsenal of more powerful, longer-range rockets this week, and for the first time has struck at Israel's two largest cities, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Both cities, more than 70 kilometers (45 miles) from Gaza, had previously been beyond rocket range.
In a psychological boost for Israel, a new rocket-defense system known as "Iron Dome" knocked down a rocket headed toward Tel Aviv, eliciting cheers from relieved residents huddled in fear after air raid sirens sounded in the city.
Associated Press video showed a plume of smoke following an intercepting missile out of a rocket-defense battery deployed near the city, followed by a burst of light overhead as it struck its target.
Police said a second rocket also targeted Tel Aviv. It was not clear where it landed or whether it was shot down. No injuries were reported. It was the third straight day the city was targeted.
Israel says the Iron Dome system has shot down some 250 of 500 rockets fired toward the country this week, most in southern Israel near Gaza.
Saturday's interception was the first time Iron Dome has been deployed in Tel Aviv. The battery was a new upgraded version that was only activated on Saturday, two months ahead of schedule, the Defense Ministry said.
Israel has vowed to stage a ground invasion, a scenario that would bring the scale of fighting closer to that of a war four years ago. Hamas was badly bruised during that conflict but has since restocked its arsenal with more and better weapons. Five years after seizing control of Gaza, it has also come under pressure from smaller, more militant groups to prove its commitment to fighting Israel as it turns its focus to governing the seaside strip.
Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak has authorized the emergency call-up of up to 75,000 reserve troops ahead of a possible ground offensive. Israel has massed thousands of troops and dozens of tanks and armored vehicles along the border in recent days.
Egypt, which is led by Hamas' parent movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, has been spearheading efforts to forge a cease-fire. Morsi has vowed to stand strong with the people of Gaza and this week recalled Cairo's ambassador from Israel to protest the offensive.
Quietly, though, non-Muslim Brotherhood members in Morsi's government are said to be pushing Hamas to end its rocket fire on Israel. Morsi is under pressure not to go too far and risk straining ties with Israel's ally, the United States.
The Hamas website said Saturday that its leader, Khaled Meshaal, met with the head of Egyptian intelligence for two hours Saturday in Cairo, a day after the Egyptian official was in the Gaza Strip trying to work out an end to the escalation in violence.
Hamas has not immediately accepted Egypt's proposal for a cease-fire, but the group's website said it could end its rocket fire if Israel agrees to end "all acts of aggression and assassination" and lift its five-year Israeli blockade on Gaza. Egypt will present the Hamas position to Israeli officials.
Israeli officials say they are not interested in a "timeout," and want firm guarantees that the rocket fire, which has paralyzed life in an area home to 1 million Israelis, finally ends. Past cease-fires have been short lived.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he spoke with the leaders of Britain, Poland, Portugal, Bulgaria to press his case. "No government in the world would allow a situation where its population lives under the constant threat of rockets," Netanyahu told them, according to a statement from his office.
The diplomatic activity in Cairo illustrated Hamas' rising influence in a changing Middle East. The Arab Spring has brought Islamists to power and influence across the region, helping Hamas emerge from years of isolation.
Morsi warned that a ground operation by Irael will have "repercussions" across the region. "All must realize the situation is different than before, and the people of the region now are different than before and the leaders are different than before," he said at a joint press conference with Turkey's Islamist prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Erdogan, like Morsi, leads an Islamist government that has chilly diplomatic ties with Israel.
On Friday, Morsi sent his prime minister to Gaza on a solidarity mission with Hamas. And on Saturday, Tunisia's Foreign Minister Rafik Abdessalem visited Gaza as well.

Me and the guy I've been talking to for the past 4months f***ed tonight we protected ourselves and everything (which I brought four condoms) in which we only used one cause we only did it once. And to add to this I swear it felt like he was just doing it to give himself pleasure in it wasn't nice I didn't come or nothing it was like he was doing it to just do it and then after we were done I tried to kiss him and he pushed me away. I've never felt like this before I got treated like a slut and I don't deserve this. What should I do? I feel like not talking to him anymore I don't want to be anybody toy and to top it off he took the three condoms that were left wow that hurt even more cause clearly am not the only one He's f***ing with. :( It sucks he`s that way..I know I messed up...
I feel so bad...Advice please, I need it..
What Guys Said 3
Sounds like he's just there for sex or to "get his rocks off". especially taking the condoms after sounds highly suspicious.
Even though I'm a virgin, I would never do this to a girl who I'm willing to have sex with, its just not right. not concerning himself with your pleasure needs, refusing to kiss AND pushing away, taking the condom which arn't his. a guy should not do these things to someone he loves.
you don't deserve this and really should leave the jerk.
Yea I need to stop talking to him asap or else am going to become his toy and I don`t want that.!
Yea it sounds like you messed up but you can't beat yourself up. We all mess up, but you just have to learn from your mistake and move on. Yea I think you should stop talking to him as well. Its just one of those things where you just have to chalk it up as a mistake and not let it happen again. Just don't be down on yourself too long, because you didn't know he would be like that.
What Girls Said 3
Get him out of your life and move on.Don't talk to him anymore;he doesn't deserve you or your time:D He wasn't even worth your time sex wise chica,don't talk to him anymore.He's selfish,and this has been established sexually,so if he's selfish sexually,he'll be selfish in other aspects of the relationship.
Your telling me chica yo se this guy is so full of it grrr...

Philosophy philosophy Miracle Worker Retinoid Eye Repair Cream
5 reviews
80% would repurchase
Package Quality: 4.4
Price: $$$
Package Quality: 4.4
Price: $$$
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This was suggested to me by an associate at Sephora. I like many Philosophy products however this did not work for me.
I understand that in my 20's a retinoid eye cream is not necessary but I desperately wanted to lighten the darkness under my eyes. I do not presently have any wrinkles in that area and will not comment on its effectiveness there. Considering the product suggests improvement in under-eye circles and bags I was pretty disappointed.
Result: No improvement in any areas. Under eye circles became more defined and bags appeared that I did not have before. Did a lot of research on Retiniod products and decided to take it back (thank you Sephora!!)
I tried only using it a couple times a week and only at night but this did not make a difference. I'd say I gave it a fair shot for 4-5 months.
Price-wise it is comparable to many other eye treatments in the mid-range.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I asked for an eye cream that will reduce creases under my concealer. Sephora assistant gave me this. It is a soft wax-like thick cream but spreads easily. It still creases after four or so hours but it feels very nice. I use very little so the price doesn't feel so steep. Pump tube prevents bacteria contamination. Scentless too. My complaint is that I cannot see how much is left. I don't feel this is a holy grail eye cream but I would repurchase until I find my HG.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Other, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Excellent retinol eye product. It's like a creamy gel and a tiny bit goes a long way. This is the most effective, yet gentle under-eye retinol I've used. if I get a tad of redness under eyes I just lay off it for a couple of nights and all is well. This really smooths the lines..
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
I used to be a Philosophy girl and then switched to Ole Henricksen and now am using a combination of both plus some Vichy products. I used to love Eye Believe but it seems as though Philosophy quit making that eye product and Miracle Worker Retinoid cream for eyes is the closest thing I could find. I love that it smooths all the fine lines around my eyes and fills them in so make-up doesn't crease. I use this first thing after washing my face and then follow up with a greaseless eye cream. Since I also suffer from some pretty dark circles, I use a brightening primer and then apply my color corrector and concealer and set with a micro fine setting powder. No lines or creases and my eyes stay looking great. I haven't tried it between my eyes as another user suggests but definitely plan to start.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Red, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Hazel
I purchased this product, then tried several other more expensive retinoid/retinol eye products. I ended up purchasing this again after realizing it's truly the best currently on the market. StriVectin balled up and flaked, and I found that many other Retinoid/retinol products either have an odd consistency or cause irritation. This product is a Jill base, and has an amazingly smooth, non-irritating consistency. a little goes a long way, saving you money. I like to layer products like this first, with an eye cream over it. This product is light enough that it allows me to do so. I've had fantastic results, and use it all over my eye area, including my eyelids and between my brows. While I believe that nothing will with us of dark circles aside from consistent, genuinely good sleep, this has absolutely diminished my fine lines. It's also diminished the vertical line between my brows, about which which I'm super excited. If you're like me and like to use multiple products at once for the best possible results, this is a fantastic product for you.

From the May 4 broadcast of Fox News' America Live:
Loading the player reg...
Fox & Friends rushed to politicize the recent attempted car bombing in New York City by falsely claiming the Obama administration "refuses to say the word terror," by citing the incident to demand that the administration hold Khalid Shaikh Mohammed's trial outside of the city, and by asking whether the administration is "sleeping while the enemy plans" attacks.
On April 29, Fox & Friends falsely suggested that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus was holding a 9-11 worker health care bill "hostage" in order "to get health care" for "illegal aliens." In fact, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus is reportedly seeking to ensure that undocumented immigrants who served as post-9-11 recovery workers -- not undocumented immigrants in general, as Fox suggested -- would also be able to receive the "benefits for health problems they incurred because of their heroic actions" that are provided for other 9-11 responders by the bill.
Fox News hosts rushed to defend Rev. Franklin Graham both before and after the Pentagon's decision to rescind his invitation to National Prayer Day, reportedly due to concerns over his incendiary comments about Islam. In doing so, the hosts often played portions of Graham's April 22 Fox News interview but omitted controversial comments Graham made during that appearance; they also ignored previous inflammatory comments Graham has made about the religion.
It's been quite a morning on Fox & Friends.
Their big story of the day is the controversy over Franklin Graham, the son of evangelical leader Billy Graham, whose invitation to speak at the Pentagon on National Day of Prayer is being protested because of Graham's past descriptions of Islam as an "evil" faith. They even hosted Graham to defend himself, and in the process he counseled Muslims that they "don't have to die in a car bomb," doing much to validate the concerns about him speaking at a religious event.
But this is Fox & Friends we're talking about here, and they have a long history of promoting Christianity at the expense of other scarier, more dangerous beliefs (like Islam and atheism). And it was in that spirit that Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. came on to tell everyone that Graham's anti-Muslim comments were being "overblown," and that we have to take into account certain mitigating factors.
Right-wing media figures and outlets have revived their obsession with President Obama's supposed "bowing" by highlighting a photo of Obama greeting Chinese President Hu Jintao at the Nuclear Security Summit. Conservative media have previously attacked Obama's greetings of Saudi King Abdullah, Japanese Emperor Akihito, and Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio.

Right-wing media have accused Rep. Henry Waxman and the Obama administration of "tyrannical" actions after Waxman announced a hearing looking into several large corporations' assertions about prescription drug costs related to health care reform. According to Waxman, the companies' claims "appear to conflict with independent analyses."
As we've noted, Fox News has been targeting the Congressional Budget Office in an apparent attempt to undermine its conclusion that the health care reform law, if enacted as written, will not increase the federal debt. The campaign to discredit CBO continued this morning, with Fox & Friends featuring CBO director Douglas Elmendorf as the subject of its "Who's Ruining the Economy?" segment:
Why does Fox & Friends think Elmendorf, the head of Congress' nonpartisan office of economists and budget analysts, is ruining the economy? After all, CBO simply provides cost estimates and economic analyses and doesn't make policy. Well evidently, it's because CBO used economic models to estimate the job impact of the stimulus package and didn't "actually go out in the field and count the number of jobs created," in the words of Fox business analyst Stuart Varney.

Following the Congressional Budget Office's score of the health care reform reconciliation package, Fox News has attempted to portray the nonpartisan CBO as untrustworthy and unreliable. By contrast, after the CBO gave a "favorable" score to the GOP health care plan, Fox praised the office as "nonpartisan" and advanced false GOP claims about the CBO's findings.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Police in the Philippines have defused a powerful bomb hidden inside a papaya fruit that attackers may have intended to detonate Sunday in a Roman Catholic cathedral.
A bomb fashioned from a mortar round and concealed in the fruit was found by scavengers in a vacant lot near the cathedral in Iligan city.
Police said Muslim extremists may have planned to bring it to the cathedral, which was packed with worshippers, but abandoned the
bomb nearby due to heavy police presence in the area.
On Thursday in Iligan, two nail-laden bombs exploded on the counters of two department stores packed with Christmas shoppers, killing two people and wounding 54 others.

The University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point will be
hosting Central Wisconsin's Collegiate Job Fair on Tuesday, Feb. 26 in the
Laird room of the DUC from noon to 4 p.m. The job fair is also being sponsored
by UW Marshfield/Wood County, Mid State Technical College, and UW Marathon
This is the 12th year that the Collegiate Job Fair has
been going on and is a way for students to interact with employers offering
intern and career level opportunities.
Lorry Walters, the associate director of Career
Services, thinks that this is a great way for students to connect with
employers throughout Wisconsin who are interested in hiring graduates and
continuing students.
"There will be 55 different employers there for four
hours, and it's not just central Wisconsin. There will be people from
throughout the state coming from Milwaukee, Madison and the Fox Valley, and we
also have employers coming from Minneapolis," Walters said.
Students from other universities are also encouraged to
"It's for our students, but it's not limited to them.
It's open to currently enrolled students and students who have graduated. We
bring in employers who know that that's the target population and tell them
that it's for intern and career level opportunities," Walters said.
After the job fair, Career Services will also be
holding Alumni Speed Networking. This is an opportunity for students to
interact with UWSP alumni and make connections with people who are working in
several different disciplines. It will be held from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. in the
Alumni Room of the DUC, and the cost will be $3 at the door.
"It's a first-come, first-serve type of event, where
students will each get to talk to the different alums for a few minutes. An
RSVP is required, so students should sign up now," Walters said.
The keynote speaker will be Nora Boomer, who graduated
from UWSP in 2003 and is now working in Human Resources at Ministry Health
Care. Others joining the event will include: Holly Busse, who graduated in 2002
and is now a second grade teacher; Susan Heikkinen, who graduated in 1965 and
is a business owner in interior Design; and Grant Winslow, who graduated in
1989 and works at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
Walters enjoys interactions with students and being
able to help them, but she also enjoys interactions with her fellow employers.
"Being able to connect those two populations is special
and rewarding, and this event is one way I can do that. It's neat to be able to
get people thinking about what they want to be doing after college," Walters

I was inspired by the amount of support I saw in my community for organizations doing great tings for the world on #GivingTuesday. I work for a non-profit and so many of my friends and family supported us on #GivingTuesday. I hope this continues to be a major part of the culture of the holiday season.
George Hiley
Great work for #GivingTuesday, it's nice to give back! We're helping out with your #4 with a few ideas on how supporting small and micro-enterprise can help with a much bigger picture… http://www.good.is/posts/why-we-re-focusing-on-the-micro-in-business
http://www.childrenunitingnations.org is having a Holiday Toy and Donations Drive for inner city at-risk foster youth!
Bill McGuire
It is a Good thing to "give back" or to donate when you can, but please include necessary research to provide prospective donors, so that they know they are donating to legitimate charities. There are several organizations that provide this important information on national charitable groups, such as give.org, which is the Wise Giving Alliance, an arm of the Better Business Bureau. WGA holds charitiable groups accountable with 20 standards. In some cases, charitable groups do not wish to be forthcoming with the information necessary to determine whether or not they can be trusted; isn't that information that would be beneficial? Also, there are groups in your community that have needs; do a bit of research and donate closer to home, if you feel comfortable doing so. A little preparation will assure that your donation(s) are going to the right place(s). Best wishes!
Alessandra Rizzotti
Great points Bill. Do you work with charities and are there any you recommend we donate to today?
Kristin Pedemonti
Thank you for all the Good you do Every Day. Giving Tuesday, is EVERY day for many of us. :) Myself included. I am so grateful that a risk I took back in 2005 has opened my life in ways I never imagined. In Giving through actions seemingly small that add up over time. If we ALL Give what we can; through our talents, our skill set, our funds (if we have them) Imagine the GOOD! And it IS already happening!
My Story: I sold my small home & most possessions in 2005 to create/facilitate a volunteer literacy project in Belize. Donated programs for 33,000 students & 800 teachers thus far. Went Global this year to Kenya and Ghana collaborating with Artfully AWARE Story Book Project in which we collect real life stories of persistence, possibility and overcoming adversity. Every person who participates receives a free copy of the book. Here's the link to the Kenya book: http://www.amazon.com/Perseverance-Possibility-Kenya-Capturing-Persistence/dp/1492217115/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1378734146&sr=1-1
Ghana Is... comes out in 2014 (we self publish to keep costs low) Next week I travel to Haiti to take the project there highlighting stories of Passion & Perseverance. Our goal is to break down barriers and stereotypes & highlight all the amazing projects created by Locals in developing countries. The books are shared cross-culturally too. I am so grateful to be part of this project. Thank YOU again for all the Good you do Every day to make this world a better place! Hug and gratitude from my heart to yours! Kristin
Alessandra Rizzotti
This is awesome Kristin! Definitely share a link on GOOD about that- or you know where to find me!

Curious- how did the #GivingTuesday idea come about? Would love to hear more from the founder.
Brooke Edwards
From the #GivingTuesday website:
New York's 92nd Street Y was the catalyst and incubator for #GivingTuesday, bringing the expertise of 139 years of community-management to the project and providing #GivingTuesday a home. The United Nations Foundation joined as partners, bringing their strategic and communications clout to the project. An amazing team of influencers then offered their ideas, contacts and wisdom to help shape and improve the concept. A powerful list of corporations and non-profits agreed to be founding partners, helping spread the word and committing to their own #GivingTuesday initiatives. Since then, countless organizations, friends and leaders have all added their support and talents to make #GivingTuesday a reality.

A solitary runner heads down the banks of the Charles River in Cambridge, Mass., in front of the Boston skyline, at dawn the morning after explosions killed three and injured more than 140 at the Boston Marathon on Tuesday.
- Filed Under
Three words greeted me Monday morning. The same as every other day so far this year.
Run for Boston.
That's the name for my smart-phone alarm. An upbeat song plays. Those words flash on the screen.
Like a multitude of runners worldwide, I am determined to qualify for and run the Boston Marathon one day.
This year, that goal has become an obsession. I changed my phone background and lock screen to the marathon medal, signed a personal pledge stating that I will train consistently and with purpose, and, with the permission of my wife, even started growing a Boston beard, an itchy daily reminder of my goals.
So on Patriot's Day, Marathon Monday in Boston, seeing my alarm brought added anticipation. It was race day.
Run for Boston.
It means so much more to me now. After two homemade bombs turned the Boston Marathon finish line, a sacred place of celebration and accomplishment, into an emergency triage center. After three spectators lost their lives and more than 150 others suffered injuries.
I watched the race all morning, streaming it online. While I'm still a long way from qualifying, I felt a sense of pride and connection with all of those crossing the finish on Boylston Street. I was joyful.
Then I left for a quick two-mile run. I returned to see a chaotic, devastating scene.
In the past, tragedy has pulled this country together. But the running community was already close. We smile, nod or wave to each other in passing during training runs, each one with an immediate feeling of understanding and connection with the other. We gather to share stories, laughter, and advice after pushing our bodies to the limit.
That's why Monday's explosions hurt so much.
It was an attack on all of us.
Shreveport has a strong running community. More than 10 local runners raced Boston Monday. Many gathered for a memorial run Tuesday, a symbol of solidarity with runners across the nation, a therapeutic show of support.
Mindy Newlee, a teacher at Natchitoches Central and former assistant women's basketball coach at Northwestern State, was in Boston cheering for her friend, Victoria Willis, also a former NSU coach who is now on staff at Wofford College.
Newlee was in the crowd, near the first bomb, when she saw Willis finish at four hours. The two went down the street and made a turn, a 9-minute walk that kept both safe from the explosion.
"Everybody was frantic, with looks of worry on their faces," said Newlee, who is also a marathoner. "Initially we thought it might be a gas leak. We weren't thinking it was purposeful until later. People didn't know what was going on. It's scary, you know. It's strange to go back and see the footage of the explosion and see right where I was standing."
But Newlee knows she can't stay afraid.
"You don't ever know what the future holds," she said. "You can be gone in the blink of an eye. You don't want to live in fear. That's my take on it. I'm not going to not do something just because I'm scared of what might happen. I'm going to go out and live life to its fullest."
There is nothing that will erase Monday's tragedy. Nothing can undo the loss of life. Many runners, family members, friends and fans will have lifelong horrific memories and disabilities because of the senseless blasts.
But runners will push through. We will stay together and be strong. I have read multiple columns from newspapers, magazines and websites sending the same message - keep running. So many positive stories have surfaced from Boston. Finishers going on to donate blood to help victims. Runners heading straight to the blast area to help save lives.
My heart has been heavy this week. Our running family will never be the same, and we will have reminders with added security and precautions at races from now on. But we will not quit.
My resolve has been strengthened. We will keep running. And when I hear the first tones on my alarm tomorrow morning, I won't have to look at the screen to get the message.
Run for Boston.

Rocky Mountain spotted fever
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009)
|Rocky Mountain spotted fever
Petechial rash caused by Rocky Mountain spotted fever on the arm
|Classification and external resources
|Infectious disease
|emerg/510 med/2043 ped/2709 oph/503 derm/772
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), also known as blue disease,[1] is the most lethal[2] and most frequently reported rickettsial illness in the United States. It has been diagnosed throughout the Americas. Some synonyms for Rocky Mountain spotted fever in other countries include "tick typhus," "Tobia fever" (Colombia), "São Paulo fever" or "febre maculosa" (Brazil), and "fiebre manchada" (Mexico). It is distinct from the viral tick-borne infection, Colorado tick fever. The disease is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a species of bacterium that is spread to humans by Dermacentor ticks. Initial signs and symptoms of the disease include sudden onset of fever, headache, and muscle pain, followed by development of rash. The disease can be difficult to diagnose in the early stages, and without prompt and appropriate treatment it can be fatal.
The name "Rocky Mountain spotted fever" is something of a misnomer. The disease was first identified in the Rocky Mountain region, but beginning in the 1930s, medical researchers realized that it occurred in many other areas of the United States. It is now recognized that the disease is broadly distributed throughout the contiguous United States and occurs as far north as Canada and as far south as Central America and parts of South America. Between 1981 and 1996, the disease was reported from every state of the United States except for Hawaii, Vermont, Maine, and Alaska.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever remains a serious and potentially life-threatening infectious disease. Despite the availability of effective treatment and advances in medical care, approximately three to five percent of patients who become ill with Rocky Mountain spotted fever die from the infection. However, effective antibiotic therapy has dramatically reduced the number of deaths caused by Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Before the discovery of tetracycline and chloramphenicol during the latter 1940s, as many as 30 percent of persons infected with R. rickettsii died.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Spotted fever can be very difficult to diagnose in its early stages, and even experienced physicians who are familiar with the disease find it hard to detect.
People infected with R. rickettsii usually notice symptoms following an incubation period of one to two weeks after a tick bite. The early clinical presentation of Rocky Mountain spotted fever is nonspecific and may resemble a variety of other infectious and non-infectious diseases.
Initial symptoms:
- Fever
- Nausea
- Emesis (vomiting)
- Severe headache
- Muscle pain
- Lack of appetite
- Parotitis in some cases (somewhat rare)
Later signs and symptoms:
- Maculopapular rash
- Petechial rash
- Abdominal pain
- Joint pain
- Forgetfulness
The classic triad of findings for this disease are fever, rash, and history of tick bite. However, this combination is often not identified when the patient initially presents for care. The rash has a centripetal, or "inward" pattern of spread, meaning it begins at the extremities and courses towards the trunk.
The rash first appears two to five days after the onset of fever, and it is often quite subtle. Younger patients usually develop the rash earlier than older patients. Most often the rash begins as small, flat, pink, non-itchy spots (macules) on the wrists, forearms, and ankles. These spots turn pale when pressure is applied and eventually become raised on the skin. The characteristic red, spotted (petechial) rash of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is usually not seen until the sixth day or later after onset of symptoms, but this type of rash occurs in only 35 to 60 percent of patients with Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The rash involves the palms or soles in as many as 80 percent of the patients. However, this distribution may not occur until later on in the course of the disease. As many as 15 percent of patients may never develop a rash.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever, like all rickettsial infections, is classified as a zoonosis. Zoonoses are diseases of animals that can be transmitted to humans. Some zoonotic diseases require a vector (e.g., a mosquito, tick, or mite) to be transmitted from the animal host to the human host. In the case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ticks are the natural hosts, serving as both reservoirs and vectors of R. rickettsii. Ticks transmit the organism to vertebrates primarily by their bites. Less commonly, infections may occur following exposure to crushed tick tissues, fluids, or tick feces.
A female tick can transmit R. rickettsii to her eggs in a process called transovarial transmission. Ticks can also become infected with R. rickettsii while feeding on blood from the host in either the larval or nymphal stage. After the tick develops into the next stage, the R. rickettsii may be transmitted to the second host during the feeding process. Furthermore, male ticks may transfer R. rickettsii to female ticks through body fluids or spermatozoa during the mating process. These types of transmission represent how generations or life stages of infected ticks are maintained. Once infected, the tick can carry the pathogen for life.
Rickettsiae are transmitted to a vertebrate host through saliva while a tick is feeding. It usually takes about 24 hours of attachment and feeding before the rickettsiae are transmitted to the host. In general, about one to three percent of the tick population carries R. rickettsii, even in areas where the majority of human cases are reported. Therefore the risk of exposure to a tick carrying R. rickettsii is low.
Vectors include the American dog tick Dermacentor variabilis, Dermacentor andersoni, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, and Amblyomma cajennense.[3] Not all of these are of equal importance, and most are restricted to certain geographic areas.
The two major vectors of R. rickettsii in the United States are the American dog tick and the Rocky Mountain wood tick. American dog ticks are widely distributed east of the Rocky Mountains and they also occur in limited areas along the Pacific Coast. Dogs and medium-sized mammals are the preferred hosts of an adult American dog ticks, although it feeds readily on other large mammals, including human beings. This tick is the most commonly identified species responsible for transmitting R. rickettsii to humans. Rocky Mountain wood ticks (Dermacentor andersoni) are found in the Rocky Mountain states and in southwestern Canada. The life cycle of this tick may require up to three years for its completion. The adult ticks feed primarily on large mammals. The larvae and nymphs feed on small rodents.
Other tick species have been shown to be naturally infected with R. rickettsii or serve as experimental vectors in the laboratory. These species are likely to play only a minor role in the ecology of R. rickettsii.
Abnormal laboratory findings seen in patients with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever may include a low platelet count, low blood sodium concentration, or elevated liver enzyme levels. Serology testing and skin biopsy are considered to be the best methods of diagnosis. Although immunofluorescent antibody assays are considered some of the best serology tests available, most antibodies that fight against R. rickettsii are undetectable on serology tests the first seven days after infection.[4]
Appropriate antibiotic treatment should be started immediately when there is a suspicion of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever on the basis of clinical and epidemiological findings. Treatment should not be delayed until laboratory confirmation is obtained. In fact, failure to respond to a tetracycline argues against a diagnosis of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Severely ill patients may require longer periods before their fever resolves, especially if they have experienced damage to multiple organ systems. Preventive therapy in healthy patients who have had recent tick bites is not recommended and may, in fact, only delay the onset of disease.[5]
Doxycycline (a tetracycline) (for adults at 100 milligrams every 12 hours, or for children under 45 kg (99 lb) at 4 mg/kg of body weight per day in two divided doses) is the drug of choice for patients with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.[6] Treatment should be continued for at least three days after the fever subsides, and until there is unequivocal evidence of clinical improvement. This will be generally for a minimum time of five to ten days. Severe or complicated outbreaks may require longer treatment courses. Doxycycline/ tetracycline is also the preferred drug for patients with ehrlichiosis, another tick-transmitted infection with signs and symptoms that may resemble those of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Chloramphenicol is an alternative drug that can be used to treat Rocky Mountain spotted fever. However, this drug may be associated with a wide range of side effects, and careful monitoring of blood levels can be required.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever can be a very severe illness and patients often require hospitalization. Because R. rickettsii infects the cells lining blood vessels throughout the body, severe manifestations of this disease may involve the respiratory system, central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, or kidneys.
Long-term health problems following acute Rocky Mountain spotted fever infection include partial paralysis of the lower extremities, gangrene requiring amputation of fingers, toes, or arms or legs, hearing loss, loss of bowel or bladder control, movement disorders, and language disorders. These complications are most frequent in persons recovering from severe, life-threatening disease, often following lengthy hospitalizations
There are only 800 cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever reported in the United States per year, and in only about 20 percent can the tick be found.[citation needed]
Host factors associated with severe or fatal Rocky Mountain spotted fever include advanced age, male sex, African or Caribbean background, chronic alcohol abuse, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Deficiency of G6PD is a genetic condition affecting about 12 percent of the Afro-American male population. Deficiency in this enzyme is associated with a high proportion of severe cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. This is a rare clinical complication that is often fatal within five days of the onset of the disease.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever was first recognized in 1896 in the Snake River Valley of Idaho and was originally called "black measles" because of its characteristic rash. This was a dreaded and frequently fatal disease that affected hundreds of people in this area. By the early 1900s, the recognized geographic distribution of this disease grew to include parts of the United States as far north as Washington State, Idaho, and Montana and as far south as California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
Howard T. Ricketts was the first to establish the identity of the infectious organism that causes this disease. He and others characterized the basic epidemiological features of the disease, including the role of tick vectors. Their studies found that Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii. This species is supported in nature by a complex cycle involving ticks and mammals. Human beings are considered to be accidental hosts, and they are not involved in the natural transmission cycle of this pathogen. Dr. Ricketts died of typhus (another rickettsial disease) in Mexico in 1910, shortly after completing his remarkable studies on Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Prior to 1922, Doctors McCray and McClintic both died while doing research on Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, as did an aide of Noguchi Hideyo at the Rockefeller Institute. McCalla and Brerton also did early research into Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Research began in 1922 in western Montana—in the Bitterroot Valley around Hamilton, Montana, after the Governor's daughter and his son-in-law died of the fever. Past Assistant Surgeon R.R. Spencer of the Hygienic Laboratory of the U.S. Public Health Service was ordered to the region, and he led a research team at an abandoned schoolhouse through about 1924. Spencer's crucial day was on May 19, 1924, when he put a large dose of mashed wood ticks—from lot 2351B—and some weak carbolic acid into his arm by injection. This vaccine worked.[7] Spencer was assisted by R. R. Parker, Bill Gettinger, Henry Cowan, Henry Greenup, Elmer Greenup, Gene Hughes, Salsbury, and Kerlee, et al. Gettinger, Cowan and Kerlee all died of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever during the research efforts.
Much of the early research was conducted at Rocky Mountain Laboratories[8][9] (part of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), which is the source of the name of the condition.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is a big part of the 1947 Republic movie "Driftwood", starring Walter Brennan, James Bell, Dean Jagger, Natalie Wood, and Hobart Cavanaugh.
An episode of the early 1970s TV series Marcus Welby, M.D. starring Robert Young and James Brolin was instrumental in sending out the word about the then rarely heard of disease.
In December 2013, hockey player Shane Doan was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and returned to play in January 2014.[10]

|Topical steroid application versus circumcision in pediatric patients with phimosis: a prospective randomized placebo controlled clinical trial.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18157674 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVES: Topical steroids have been advocated as an effective alternative treatment to circumcision in boys with phimosis. We evaluated the effectiveness of topical steroid therapy compared to a placebo neutral cream in 240 patients with phimosis. METHODS: A prospective study was carried out over a 24-months period, on an out-patient basis on two groups of patients with phimosis. One-hundred twenty patients applied a steroid cream twice a day for 4 weeks, and another group of 120 pts used a placebo cream twice a day for 4 weeks. Patients were assigned to either group by a computer-generated random choice. RESULTS: All patients in our series completed the two treatment periods without interruption. At a median follow-up of 20 months (6-30 months) therapeutic success was obtained in 43.75% (99/240) of cases, independently of the protocol. In particular, therapeutic success was obtained in 65.8% (79/120) of cases in the steroids group and in 16.6% (20/120) of cases in the placebo group, the difference being statistically significant (P < 0.0001, Mann-Withney test). CONCLUSION: Our study shows that topical steroids represent a good alternative to surgery in case of phimosis. Steroid therapy using monometasone furoate 0.1% in our series gave better results that placebo with an overall efficacy of 65.8%. In patients where a phimotic ring persist after steroid therapy, circumcision is mandatory.

|Immunoglobulin and complement in normal skin.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 372244 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Cryostat sections of normal skin from 57 white adults were examined by direct and indirect immunofluorescence for immunoglobulins, complement factors, and transferrin. The results for basement membrane zone (BMX) were significantly different for the 11 face and 46 non-face biopsies: in the face, IgM was found in five, IgG in two, IgA in one, and C3 in none, whereas, in non-face, IgM was present in six, IgG in none, IgA in one, and C3 in five. The results for dermal vessel walls (DV) were not apparently different for face and non-face; in the 57 biopsies IgM was present in one, IgG in none, IgA in one, and C3 in one. The 11 biopsies from the face and 26 of the non-face biopsies were examined further. No IgD or C4 was identified, but one case (scalp) showed BMZ Clq, properdin, and transferrin, and in two cases (one face, one non-face) DV properdin was found. Cytoid bodies (IgM and IgA) were present in moderate numbers in one case; all other positive reactions were finely granular.

Boone County Public Safety Joint Communications will recognize the outstanding service of its 9-1-1 Emergency Telecommunicators during "National Telecommunications Week," which will take place April 13-19.
"Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, our Emergency Telecommunicators stand at the ready, when an emergency strikes," said PSJC Operations Manager Brian Maydwell. "In the face of thousands of calls a year, our folks help residents through every type of emergency situation. Columbia and Boone County are very fortunate to have such an excellent and committed staff in our Operations Center."
Columbia/Boone County 9-1-1 Emergency Telecommunicators handled approximately 365,000 phone interactions in 2013, 77,108 of which were calls that came through 9-1-1 emergency lines.
Public Safety Joint Communications currently dispatches for thirteen public safety agencies in the Columbia/Boone County area. These include the Ashland Police Department, Boone County Fire Protection District, Boone County Sheriff's Department, Boone Hospital Center's Emergency Medical Services, Centralia Police and Fire Departments, Columbia Police and Fire Departments, Columbia Regional Airport Safety and Security, Hallsville Police Department, Southern Boone County Fire Protection District, Sturgeon Police Department, and University Hospital Ambulance Service. PSJC also provides assistance to other public safety agencies in our area.
As part of Telecommunicators Week, officials with the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) will join Boone County Commissioners in presenting plaques and a proclamation recognizing PSJC as an Emergency Fire Dispatch Center of Excellence. That presentation will take place on Thursday, April 17, at 1:30 p.m.

It was a grim time of resource exploitation - a period of blatant disregard for the natural species that belonged to the forests and meadows of a pristine ecosystem. It was a time of desperation - one that called for desperate measures.
Fortunately, a fresh new agency surfaced to answer that call. It was a combination of concerned sportsmen, environmentalists and government officials who established the PA Game Commission in 1895, as a means to better manage our wild resources.
Upon inception, a young PGC immediately began tackling a host of pressing conservation issues; few of which pertained to elk. But in 1913, a special opportunity to re-establish a wild herd in the state became a possibility.
Yellowstone officials were looking for ways to reduce the national park's over-abundance of large cervids. One solution was to offer states in other parts of the country a chance to trap and transfer a portion of the growing herd for release within their own state boundaries. Pennsylvania opportunistically jumped on board.
Fifty head of Yellowstone elk were loaded into rickety railcars and shipped cross-country via train track to the north-central tier of our state.
But the majestic wapiti of the Pennsylvania timbers still had a long and rocky road before them. It would take many years for the elk to re-establish a stronghold within the commonwealth, and they'd require a bit of help for their eventual return to greatness.
"The recovery of elk in Pennsylvania is a conservation story for the ages," commented Joe Kosack, associate editor of PA Game News, who recently published a history of our state's elk herd for its 100-year anniversary.
"For several decades they struggled to hold on to their home ground in Elk and Cameron counties," Kosack explained. "But in the '70s, with about 80 elk remaining, an aggressive research program began to shed light on what was holding elk back. Habitat was the key - not to mention more funding to conduct further research, habitat improvements and land acquisition.
"With the assistance of Penn State, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and residents of Elk and Cameron counties, much good was accomplished for elk. A trap-and-transfer program in the late 1990s helped expand the elk range.
"So with an expanded home range and a burgeoning population, discussions started to develop about the possibility of holding the state's first elk-hunting season in nearly 70 years. This proved to be one of the best decisions the PGC could ever make on behalf of the elk.
"We began hunting elk in 2001, and since that time we have raised substantial funding through elk license drawings to support elk management. The future is bright for elk. The herd is now more than 800 strong."
The success of elk reintroduction to our state really is something to be celebrated. It was a long 100 years, but they've come a long way. The elk in their present state are a truly mesmerizing sight to behold - one every Pennsylvanian should experience.
Prime time for elk viewing is occurring just as you read this article, since this is the time of year when huge bulls bugle to court their eventual mates. Matched with the colorful hues of fall foliage, this spectacle of nature is simply breathtaking.
This year, the Game Commission has planned some special events to celebrate the elk's anniversary milestone. Driving tours of area State Game Lands are scheduled for the next three Sundays, beginning today.
Game Commission staff members will be available to meet with the public at the elk viewing areas near Benezette. A corral trap will be on display near Dent's Run and Winslow Hill, and the Elk Country Visitor Center is sure to have some wonderful programs as always.
But a big crowd favorite is the special interactive musical program to be presented Columbus Day weekend by folk singer-songwriter and environmental education teacher, Van Wagner. Van says his show is a combination of music, old photos, period clothing, stories, science, elk artifacts and more.
"Combining my love for the field of conservation with my profession as a teacher made an ideal fit for me to go on the road this fall helping Pennsylvanians learn about the story of elk in the Commonwealth," said Wagner.
"However, it is because I am a sportsman myself that I am able to help my audiences share in the pride of this story. As I researched, I found it was sportsmen who repeatedly stepped up to the plate to save this species and help it thrive.
"Sportsmen and women should really try to catch one of the scheduled shows because the show is all about them - sportsmen working together."
For a complete listing of special events, points of interest and viewing areas, visit pgc.state.pa.us and click on the elk tab that says "100th Anniversary PA Elk Restoration."
Join in on the celebration and help play an active role in the preservation of this incredible species. And if you've ever applied for an elk hunting license - thank you! This is a great reminder that our sportsmen's dollars are being put to good use.
