Citizen input is sought to shape King County Parks
August 12, 2011
NEW — 10 a.m. Aug. 12, 2011
King County Parks administrators need opinions from visitors about parks, trails and natural areas — and how to improve the 26,000-acre system.
The agency plans to conduct in-person surveys at parks and along trails throughout August and September, including Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park between Issaquah and Newcastle, Marymoor Park in Redmond and along the Soos Creek Trail in Kent.
"We want to hear directly from parks and trails users about their experiences at King County Parks' facilities so that we can help plan and prioritize for the future," King County Parks Director Kevin Brown said in a statement. "Measuring customer satisfaction is consistent with King County's strategic plan and provides us with important feedback."
Lake Sammamish level concerns homeowners
May 3, 2011
County announces plan to unclog lake-to-river transition
King County environmental managers plan to tackle the high water level in Lake Sammamish, after aquatic weeds and sediment clogged the outlet from the lake to the Sammamish River.
The problem — although centered at county-run Marymoor Park along the lake's northern shore — reflects a common complaint among lakeside residents in Issaquah and Sammamish about the water level.
"It's really important that we remove these things. Particularly at the north end up around Marymoor Park is a real problem, and it's spread to the rest of the lake," Save Lake Sammamish founder Joanna Buehler said. "For real control, you need everybody around the lake to work on it."
The effort calls for yanking invasive plants, increased mowing near the transition zone from lake to river and enacting other steps along the lake in order to address levels along the shoreline.
County Executive Dow Constantine said the series of steps is necessary to reduce seasonal flooding along the lake.
Springtime is time to explore King County parks
April 16, 2011
NEW — 10 a.m. April 16, 2011
Springtime — plus the promise of better weather and numerous events, activities and amenities — is the time to explore King County parks.
The county parks department is encouraging residents to engage in and and support King County parks.
Spring is a busy time of year, and King County Parks is seeking volunteers to help spiffy up King County's 26,000 acres of parks and 175 miles of trails.
The agency needs volunteers for weeding, watering and preparing native vegetation for the fall planting season.
Lake Sammamish levels raise concerns among shoreline residents
March 30, 2011
NEW — 3 p.m. March 30, 2011
Leaders said King County is removing invasive aquatic plants and enacting other steps along Lake Sammamish in order to address high water levels along the shoreline.
County Executive Dow Constantine said the county plans a series of steps to reduce the seasonal flooding along the lake.
"We are taking immediate action to provide relief for lakeside residents who have to deal with high lake levels — particularly during the wettest months of the year," he said in a statement released Wednesday.
The outlet from Lake Sammamish into the Sammamish River at county-run Marymoor Park is marked by a shallow, fixed-concrete spillway and a section of channel downstream from the weir. The area, called the transition zone, marks the shift from lake to river.

I've been reading books lately like they're going out of style. (With all the e-book readers on the market, they just might be.)
I've read the gamut, from biographies (Ozzy Osborne) and social commentary (The Obama Diaries) to historical fiction (the Temeraire series, featuring a dragon air corps during the Napoleonic wars) and nonfiction ("Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joseph McCarthy," fascinating).

County steps up enforcement of dog rules at parks
June 8, 2010
King County Animal Care and Control officers started cracking down on unlicensed, aggressive and unleashed dogs in county parks last week.
County rules state that pets are required to be leashed and under control at all times. The code also requires owners to clean up after pets. The emphasis patrols started June 2.
The increased patrols came in response to numerous complaints from park users over the past year about aggressive and uncontrolled dogs in county parks.
Patrols will first educate pet owners about county policies, but the penalty for failure to license a dog is $75. A first-time off-leash offender faces a $25 penalty. Subsequent violations within a year carry additional $50 fines.
Find the only county park with a designated, off-leash area at Marymoor Park in Redmond. The area consists of 40 acres of open space where dogs can run free. Remember: Handlers or owners must accompany pets, and good doggie etiquette must be observed at all times.

Ad-ology Study: 30.5% of Small Business Advertisers Plan to Spend More in 2013
Jan 09, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Small business owners and decision makers are fairly optimistic about revenue projections, with 92.5 percent expecting their revenue to be flat or up in 2013, according to the latest Small Business Marketing Forecast by Ad-ology Research.
The annual study, now in its 5th year, also reveals that small business decision makers are investing their revenue back into advertising and marketing. 30.5 percent of SMBs who spend more than $1,000 on advertising plan to spend more in 2013 than they did in 2012.
"For the third consecutive year, more than half of all small businesses are confident that their sales will increase," says C. Lee Smith, president and CEO of Ad-ology Research. "It's also the third year in a row where more than 90 percent of small businesses say their advertising budget will remain flat or increase," Smith adds.
According to a release, 20.5 percent of small businesses plan to increase their ad spend on social media networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Most SMBs, however, have not yet adopted methods like promoted postings, sponsored tweets and social games/contests.
More than half of small business advertisers say they market to their customers on a 1-to-1 basis. It stands to reason then that direct response and email marketing will take the largest share of many small business budgets in 2013.
Of the small businesses that use email marketing, many are using it heavily. 19.1 percent sent out email marketing messages 11 times or more in the past 12 months, and 9.1 percent have sent out 26 or more emails over the past year. Constant Contact and MailChimp are currently the most popular email marketing services for small businesses.
"Mobile marketing will be increasingly important to small businesses in 2013," Smith says. "30.5 percent of SMBs will use mobile advertising, apps or texting as part of their advertising due in part to its ability to geo-target potential customers." Other forms of digital marketing will continue to grow in popularity among SMBs: -23.4 percent of small businesses plan to increase their budget for website development -Optimizing their sites for search engines is a priority, with 20.5 percent planning for this activity in 2013 -Although most small businesses do not currently take advantage of online/mobile video, 12.2 percent indicate they plan to spend more money and/or time on the medium in 2013 Marketing through daily deals, which as recently as a year ago was thought to be a very effective way for SMBs to advertise, has sharply declined. In fact, just 18 percent of small businesses plan to use firms like Groupon or Living Social as a way to advertise in 2013. That's a drop of 67.7 percent in 12 months.
METHODOLOGY: The Ad-ology Research Small Business Marketing Forecast was conducted in October 26 - November 6. The sample size for this survey was 1,439 principal/partial owners, sales managers, and advertising/marketing managers of small and medium businesses across the United States with 100 employees or less.
This annual study is independently and solely conducted by Ad-ology Research without funding from any third parties.

Or in some cases, not even being able to make a clear connection at all?

This summer we shot 'Verification', with an amazing cast and crew. At the pre-production stage we made the choice to use all of our resources to make the production the best it could be. But now we need your help to take this film through post-production and into festivals.
The Story
Damir loves this country of freedom and limitless opportunities. He really wants to live here and to do that, he can even break the law. No, no, nothing serious - just a fake marriage. The problem is, that there are lots of people like him, and this country tries to protect itself from them - it verifies them. This Verification must be unexpected, strict, and people who do it must be competent and relentless.
This is how it should be, but very often life doesn't fit the rules, invented by a human, it might surprise you...
What we need.
Our edit is locked and we are only a few steps away from the final film. The money we will receive will be spent on the following.
1. Sound mixing. Sound is very important, if the film sounds bad it's the first thing, that distracts you. We really-really want our movie to sound awesome.
2. Music. We will be using two songs in our movie, written and performed by talented artists and we believe strongly that artists deserve to be composted for their work.
3. Color correction. We getting a great deal from a Color Correcting studio in Moscow, our film was shot on new Blackmagic Cinema Camera in RAW, so the quality is there. but it will need a lot of attention to make it work.
4. Films like ours come into life at festivals, and we will be sending it out to a range of short film festivals backed with all of the hard work and love we have put into this project, as long as we can afford the submission fees!
5. Along with our own team and internal resources we are going to commission marketing specialists to help promote the film during it's festival run to get it the exposure it deserves.
We have come up with some original perks as our way of saying thank you and connect with everyone who supports this film. It is our way of saying you are now a part of this project.
Every contribution makes a difference. But speading the word is as important. Share our campaign across social media and tell you freinds about it.
Feel free to get in touch with us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Impact
A lot of people face problems of self identification. In a lot of cases people have to run from their own countries for a better life, a free life. We tried to imagine what can happen, when our hopes, dreams and expectation face reality. Are we really as free as we think? Do we matter? Are we part of the system or we are an outsider? This film does not attempt to propose a solution but hopefully will help us all examine the situation better.

Client request to my worklight application provide following features:
Ø Terms and Conditions pop-up screen (editable content and configurable setting for the "Agree" button)
Ø Allow to place promotion banners (configurable by the content management tool) to be shown in the Mobile Banking App
Ø Provide some pre-defined text areas (e.g. latest news) which can be maintained by the content management tool
Ø Capability to deliver standard text/banner to all pages by single setting
It seems that this requirement treat our mobile application as a web-site, but my understanding is all static resources (html,js,css) are all cached locally by worklight application, if my page refer to remote logo, then it generates big data traffic.
Can we have an alternative to download resources and unzip them to SD card (even replace static logos)?
(i.e. copy to /sdcard/com.mycompany.MyWorklightApp/www/default/).
thanks for any suggestions.

Ch-check out this week's batch of new releases: a little bit of country, pop, rap — and a lot of rock and roll.
In July of 1998, a Brooklyn-bred rap trio said Hello Nasty to its fans after a four-year absence, and then bid them goodbye for the next six years. Bringing the music back To the 5 Boroughs, the Beastie Boys make their long-awaited return this week, fueled by the single "Ch-Check It Out."

What happened in a Las Vegas garage beginning in late 2002 didn't stay there. Sin City indie-rock outfit the Killers release their debut album, Hot Fuss, this week, while legendary British band the Fall release The Real New Fall LP, Formerly Known as Country on the Click.
Patti Scialfa, the first lady of New Jersey rock and roll and an E Street Band member, is branching out this week as she releases 23rd Street Lullaby.
Former "American Idol" contestant Josh Gracin, whose pop-country style put him at fourth place in the competition, releases his debut self-titled album.

Next week, about 6,000 Oscar voters will start casting ballots for their favorite films of 2013 and those who made them.
Will they make moral judgments as well as artistic ones with their votes?
That question and others erupted this weekend as a controversy emerged involving people and movies in the annual film awards race.
An open letter by Dylan Farrow, Woody Allen's adopted daughter, was published on Sunday in the column and blog of Nicholas Kristof, the columnist for The New York Times. In the letter, Farrow presented graphic details in her account of sexual abuse as a child by Allen.
Farrow challenged actors like Cate Blanchett and Diane Keaton to justify their decisions to work with him, as both have, or to celebrate him, as Keaton did at the Golden Globes in January, when Allen received a lifetime achievement award.
Her torment, Farrow wrote, "was made worse by Hollywood," adding that "all but a precious few (my heroes) turned a blind eye."
The letter suggests a callous indifference by film professionals now celebrating their accomplishments in a series of ceremonies leading up to the March 2 Academy Awards. And it lands as Allen's film "Blue Jasmine" enters the Oscar balloting that begins Friday. He is nominated for best original screenplay, and Blanchett, the film's star, figures on many lists as the favorite for best actress honors.
The abuse claims go back to 1993, when Farrow's mother, Mia Farrow, fought with Allen over custody of three children, including Dylan. Last fall, Dylan Farrow spoke in detail about her claims of abuse in an interview in Vanity Fair. Allen, who was never charged with criminal wrongdoing, has denied the accusations, a position his lawyer repeated on Sunday.
In a separate blowup, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which awards the Oscars, on Saturday issued an emphatic defense of its decision to rescind a nomination for the song "Alone Yet Not Alone," from a small, religious movie of the same title.
The Academy had been accused in a letter from an earlier Oscar winner, Gerald Molen, of opening itself to charges of bigotry against Christians, but insisted that the nomination was revoked only because the song's co-writer, Bruce Broughton, had abused his position as a committee member by emailing voters with a notice about his song.
Together, the two controversies are this year's contribution to an emerging insistence by many who watch the Oscar process, and some who participate in it, that Academy members should take into account moral, ethical and social factors when marking a ballot or enforcing the rules.
A year ago, "Zero Dark Thirty," about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, was sharply criticized by public officials and some Academy members who believed that the film advocated the use of torture, or falsely suggested that harsh interrogation had led to Bin Laden's discovery.
The actor Martin Sheen, a prominent Academy member, was linked to a drive against the film's portrayal of torture, then publicly disclaimed the effort. The film had five nominations, including one for best picture, but received an award only for its sound editing.
Another kind of storm broke around "Life of Pi," which drew pre-Oscar protests for supposedly underpaying its visual effects artists. Ang Lee still won the Oscar for best director.
By and large, Oscar voters are lucky if they can find time to see the nominated films, let alone sort through a court case or a secret military operation. But they, including actors, are increasingly being asked to do just that.
At the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where she was honored Saturday night, Blanchett was asked about the Farrow letter by the Hollywood-Elsewhere.com reporter Jeffrey Wells on her way to an after-party. "It's obviously been a long and painful situation for the family, and I hope they find some resolution and peace," she said.
A spokeswoman for Blanchett said she had no further comment. Keaton's agents did not immediately respond to a request for comment. "We have had a long, productive and rewarding relationship with Mr. Allen," Sony Pictures Classics, which released "Blue Jasmine," said in a statement. "Mr. Allen has never been charged in relationship to any of this, and therefore deserves our presumption of innocence."
Elkan Abramowitz, a lawyer for Allen, responded harshly to the new round of publicity. "It is tragic that after 20 years a story engineered by a vengeful lover resurfaces after it was fully vetted and rejected by independent authorities," he wrote in an email Sunday. "The one to blame for Dylan's distress is neither Dylan nor Woody Allen."
In summarizing the case, Kristof, who acknowledged being a personal friend of Mia Farrow and her son Ronan, wrote that "a panel of psychiatrists sided with Allen, a judge more with Dylan and her mother."
Oscar voters have occasionally used the awards to send a message about focusing on art, not behavior. That appears to have happened in 2003, when they named Roman Polanski best director for "The Pianist," while Adrien Brody received an Oscar as its star and Ronald Harwood for writing its screenplay - even though Polanski was still wanted for sentencing on a statutory rape charge from more than 25 years earlier.
Asked to comment on Dylan Farrow's claims, an Academy spokeswoman wrote in an email, "The Academy honors achievement in film, not the personal lives of filmmakers and artists."
But Dylan Farrow, through her letter, now insists that accountability, at least as she sees it, be part of the package.

Joburg scoops biggest budget of allComment on this story
Johannesburg - The City of Joburg on Tuesday announced its record R47.1 billion 2014/15 budget, the largest of any city in South Africa.
Making the announcement, member of the mayoral committee Geoff Makhubo said Joburg was in the best financial shape ever.
"We have ample surpluses, reduced the high number of customer queries and received an unqualified audit, and we have a healthy cash balance.
"We are in a position to meet the legitimate needs of our people and for service delivery," he said.
One of the main projects would be the R2.6bn Rea Vaya Louis Botha Avenue corridor.
Some R225 million will be spent over the next three years on housing along the Corridors of Freedom on Empire/Perth, Louis Botha Avenue and eventually in Turffontein.
The Housing Department has been granted a budget of R3.5bn which will be used to upgrade the city's 180 informal settlements, 60 of which will be transformed into formal settlements. Money will also be spent on hostel refurbishment and mixed-use settlements.
"We have built up substantial cash reserves through more stringent cash management. Despite monthly expenditure of R2.2bn, the city has a monthly cash balance in excess of R5bn," Makhubo said.
He said R100bn would be invested in infrastructure over the next 10 years. The capital budget has grown from R4.5bn on 2012/13 to more than R10bn for the coming financial year.
A new aspect of the budget is that from July 1, the provincial housing function will go to the city and as a result, a national grant of R59.5m will be added. This will go to bulk infrastructure in Klipspruit/Kliptown, Lehae, Lufhereng and Matholesville developments.
City Power gets R20.5bn to address its ageing infrastructure and offer new services in Reuven, Berea, Ferndale, Lenasia and Halfway House.
Money will also be spent on alarm monitoring devices to curb vandalism which is responsible for 50 percent of power outages.
Joburg Water gets R10.4bn and will be used for, among others, a biogas to electricity project.
Pikitup gets R2.2bn, which will be spent on building a transfer station at Linbro Park, as well as waste treatment facilities at Diepsloot and Orange Farm.
Joburg increases in rates and services are:
* Electricity: 7.5 percent.
* Refuse removal: 6 percent.
* Water: 8.9 percent.
* Rates: 5 percent.
"When rates and tariffs are determined, the city takes into account local economic conditions and affordability of services while looking after the interests of poor households," Makhubo said.
Benefits of budget to residents:
* R2.6bn on the construction of Rea Vaya's Louis Botha Avenue corridor.
* R100bn will be invested in infrastructure over the next 10 years.
* R3.5bn will be used to upgrade the city's 180 informal settlements.
* City Power gets R20.5bn to address its ageing infrastructure and to offer new services in Reuven, Berea, Ferndale, Lenasia and Halfway House.
* Pikitup gets R2.2bn, which will be spent on building a transfer station at Linbro Park, as well as waste treatment facilities at Diepsloot and Orange Farm.

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - A loud noise sent students scurrying for cover and law enforcement personnel converging on Alcovy High School early Tuesday morning, according to the Newton County Sheriff's Office.NCSO spokesman Lt. Mark Mitchell described the source of the sound as "a water bottle with some sort of liquid in it" that apparently exploded in the commons area of the school while classes were changing around 8:30 a.m. "It was isolated to one part of the commons area. You had to be in pretty close proximity to hear it," he said. "(School resource) Officers responded immediately to the loud noise to see exactly what it was. There were some students who ran from the area, but there wasn't complete chaos." Tuesday afternoon Mitchell confirmed that investigators were questioning two students after reviewing school surveillance video and talking to witnesses. Criminal charges are pending. Mitchell said investigators believe the bottle possibly contained some sort of cleaning solution that caused a chemical reaction to occur, creating the loud noise in the commons area. He said that investigators know of no one who was injured in the incident that he said "caused a disruption to the school, but the school wasn't evacuated or locked down." Sherri Viniard, director of public relations for the Newton County School System, said Superintendent Steven Whatley is "out this week," but she posted an alert on the NCSS Web site Tuesday morning because apparently a rumor had started that the school was on lockdown. "The school has not been in lockdown at all today," she said in an e-mail late Tuesday morning. "Someone threw a bottle of liquid in the commons area, and the cap of the bottle blew off. No one was hurt, and the school is running on its normal daily schedule." She also said the school was never evacuated. "This happened right before first period. The bell alerting students to go to first period had already rung and the area was starting to clear," Viniard said. "Many of the students had already gone to class. There were some students still in the vicinity when the bottle was rolled into the commons area." Mitchell said immediately following the incident investigators performed a "sweep" of the entire school to ascertain if any other devices were hidden there, but they found nothing. "This has definitely been a disruption to the school. These days we take anything of this type very seriously with the things that go on with schools in our country," Mitchell said. "Pranks like this can get students in very serious criminal trouble. It is not something we take lightly this day and time." Recently spectators at a Newton High School basketball game were momentarily panicked when a burst of several loud popping noises occurred during half-time. NCSO deputies were on the scene and upon investigation discovered the noises came from discharged fireworks and were not gunshots as first feared by many in the gymnasium at the time of the incident, Mitchell said. Deputies identified several high-school age males who are suspected of discharging the fireworks, but no arrests have been made. "They are investigating to see exactly who released the fireworks into the crowd, causing a disruption. Obviously, there will be charges if we can determine who did this," Mitchell said at the time of the incident. Staff reporter Michelle Floyd contributed to this story. Barbara Knowles can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

Abdominal Visceral Fat (aka Belly Fat) has been strongly linked to:
- Depression
- Heart Disease
- Cancer
- Systemic Inflammation
- Diabetes
- Metabolic Syndrome
- Death
In a nutshell, a big gut is not a good thing.
High Intensity (HIIT and/or HIRT) Training burns off belly fat faster than any other form of exercise.
The Science
In 2008, researchers took 27 middle-aged obese women with metabolic syndrome and subjected them to one of three exercise programs.
- Group 1 was the no-exercise control group
- Group 2 was the low intensity (aerobic) exercise group –
- Group 3 was the high intensity (HIIT) exercise group
Groups 2 & 3 performed 5 workouts per week @ 400 calories per workout.
After 16 weeks, the HIIT group had significantly reduced total abdominal fat, abdominal subcutaneous fat and most importantly abdominal visceral fat.
Sadly, Groups 1 & 2 saw no significant changes in fat loss.
In study #2, researchers took 45 normal women (mean BMI 23.22.0 kg m-2 and age of 20.22.0 years) and subjected them to a 15 week HIIT exercise program.
As in the first study, the women were divided into 3 groups.
- Group 1 was the no-exercise control group
- Group 2 was the low intensity (aerobic) exercise group –
- Group 3 was the high intensity (HIIT) exercise group
After 15 weeks, both exercise groups demonstrated a significant improvement in cardiovascular fitness.
However, only the HIIT group had a significant reduction in:
- total body mass (TBM),
- fat mass (FM),
- trunk fat
- and fasting plasma insulin levels.
High Intensity training (HIIT or HIRT) is more effective than cardio training for burning off belly fat.

South Africa's Credit Growth at Fastest Pace Since 2009
South African credit expanded at the fastest pace in more than 2 1/2 years in January, easing pressure on the central bank to provide more stimulus to the economy.
Borrowing by households and businesses rose 7.3 percent from a year earlier, up from a revised 6.1 percent in December, the Pretoria-based Reserve Bank said on its website today. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 11 economists was 7.1 percent.
The central bank "must be heartened by the numbers coming out this morning," Colen Garrow, an economist at Brait SA in Johannesburg, said in a telephone interview. "The numbers seem to be headed in the right direction."
The central bank kept its benchmark interest rate at 5.5 percent last year to support consumer spending after a slump in manufacturing and mining production. Economic growth accelerated to an annualized 3.2 percent in the fourth quarter from a revised 1.7 percent in the previous three months, as mining and manufacturing rebounded.
The Reserve Bank gives the next monetary policy decision on March 29.
The broad M3 measure of money supply rose 6.6 percent in January from a year earlier, from 8.2 percent in December, the central bank said. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey was 8.6 percent.
The rand was little changed at 7.4703 per dollar at 8:30 a.m. Johannesburg time. The yield on the benchmark rand bond due in 2015 fell 1 basis point, to 0.01 percentage point, to 6.64 percent.

War Cry is a fortnightly 24-page Christian magazine for Salvation Army readers and all those exploring faith issues.
In 2014, we started publishing online through ISSUU. Editions are generally published four weeks after cover date.
This week I read a book of Salvation Army prayer poems entitled Just a Moment, Lord. For this editorial, rather than wax lyrical about something on my heart, I'd like to remind readers that in those moments when we long for someone to listen—really listen!—to us, God is just a prayer away. Here are some perhaps timely words from Flora Larsson's poem 'Someone to Listen':
This edition of War Cry tells of the service of Salvation Army officers Majors Joan and Gilbert Beale following the sinking of the ferry Wahine, 45 years ago this month.
After leaving Lyttleton the evening of 9 Aprl 1968, the Wahine sailed into a terrible storm as tropical cyclone Giselle swept south to collide with a southerly front. When the order came to abandon ship, many survivors were blown to the rocky coastline of Eastbourne Beach.
An observation of Western life is it's more individualistic compared to the collective nature of the East. Sometimes, this is simplistically conveyed as meaning those in the West are more self-centred. Individualistic societies are also criticised as working against the richness of community, with individual rights taking precedence over the needs of the wider group.
There is nothing I like more than a good laugh—especially in church. The church family that laughs together, stays together.
One of the books reviewed in this edition is about holiness. Author Ian Southwell says holiness is about our 'long-term relationships with God and others'. He cites atheist philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who believed anything that made life worth living involved a 'long obedience in the same direction'.
On a wall near the Otara market is a stencil of Constable Sanalio (Lio) Kaihau comforting a distressed woman. She saw demons urging her to commit suicide, but Lio saw a way to help. As part of a NZ Police recruitment campaign, he shows the difference Christians make in many workplaces.
New Zealand has made strides in its bicultural journey. But it is still an indictment on our nation that so many inequalities remain between Maori and Pakeha. We have not yet 'arrived' at some bicultural nirvana. There is still a road to travel.
It can't be an easy life being a top sportsperson. It requires discipline—often from childhood—financial sacrifices, lots of early mornings and practices when others are simply relaxing. A few get the rewards of fame and success, although this is sometimes short-lived. And there's the ever-present threat of injury putting paid to a promising career.
At the close of 2012, I went to a Recovery Church meeting my husband was leading. Recovery Church is a Salvation Army faith community for those on the journey of recovery from addictions. We watched a clip of the Joan Osbourne song that asks 'What if God was one of us? Just a slob like one of us?'

Looking for the best place to settle down after you and your partner tie the knot?
A new report from Rent.com, released on Tuesday, has narrowed down the 10 best cities in the country for newlyweds.
The online rental housing listing site took a number of variables into consideration when identifying the top cities for newlyweds -- including cost of living, mean annual income and the unemployment rate, among other factors.
The website also surveyed couples about what it was like to combine households after getting hitched, and found that among the 1,000 cohabiting adults polled, 75 percent felt their overall quality of life had improved since moving in with their significant other.
But married life certainly comes with its own challenges. For those who found living with their significant other to be stressful, 42 percent felt it had to do with not having their own space, while a third said that sharing household expenses put a strain on their relationship.
So which cities made the top 10? Click through the slideshow below to find out.
Baltimore, Maryland was chosen for its hospitality.
Washington, D.C was chosen for its centrality in the nation and job availability.
Phoenix, Arizona was chosen for its foodie, family and hiking culture.
Minneapolis, Minnesota was chosen for its bike-friendliness.
Denver, Colorado was chosen for its craft beer culture and spirit of adventure.

Yes, very strange trading today. Quick dump down to 10c, over 2.3mil shares traded and closes back at 14c with a final trade at 15:59:51! Someone wanted this to close at 14c. All of this on no news. Very strange indeed. Wonder what Thursday will bring.

During the Battle of Britain, nine citizens of the United States of America flew with Fighter Command. As America was neutral at that time, these brave men risked the wrath of their home government by volunteering for the Royal Air Force, but their love of flying and their belief in the British cause drove them to take the risk. In order to avoid detection by the authorities the nine pretended to be Canadians, then caught ships to the UK and joined up. Two would not survive the Battle of Britain, and five more would die before the end of the War

Cano switching agents from Boras to Jay-Z company

NEW YORK (AP) — Robinson Cano plans to switch agents from Scott Boras to a new company formed by musician Jay-Z's Roc Nation and CAA Sports.
Cano will be represented in baseball matters by CAA Sports' Brodie Van Wagenen. The New York Yankees second baseman is making $15 million this season and can become a free agent at the end of the World Series.
"At this point in my career, I am ready to take a more active role in my endeavors both on and off the field," Cano said in a statement.
As of Tuesday, Boras remained Cano's agent listed with the Major League Baseball Players Association.
"I have yet to speak to Robinson, so I'm not going to comment until I talk with him," Boras said.
While the Yankees usually wait for contracts to expire before negotiating new agreements with players, they have said they hope to reach a deal with the 30-year-old Cano while he remains under their control. Boras usually prefers that his clients become free agents to increase bidders and maximize their values.
The new company, Roc Nation Sports, is led by Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, and Juan Perez, who will be the company president. Jay-Z, a part owner of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, is friendly with injured Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, a former Boras client.
"Because of my love of sports, it was a natural progression to form a company where we can help top athletes in various sports the same way we have been helping artists in the music industry for years," Carter said in a statement.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Feb. 28 that the team had made a significant offer to Cano for a new deal. The agent fees for Cano's next contract could become subject to litigation between Boras and the new company.

This is the most "genteel" of the cave tours. The cave takes the first part of its name from the words wai (water) and tomo (cave), since the Waitomo River vanishes into the hillside here. Glowworm refers to the 1- to 2-inch larvae of Arachnocampa luminosa, which live on cave ceilings. They snare prey by dangling sticky filaments, trapping insects attracted to the light the worms emit. A single glowworm produces far less light than any firefly, but when they are massed in great numbers in the dark, their effect can be like looking at the night sky in miniature. The Waitomo Glowworm Cave was first officially explored in 1887 by local Chief Tane Tinorau, accompanied by the English surveyor Fred Mace. They built a raft of flax stems and, with candles as their light source, floated into the cave where the stream goes underground. Today's cave explorers walk into the cave on high-quality pathways to explore features such as the limestone cathedral (and, like opera diva
Kiri Te Kanawa, are invited to sing to make best use of the amazing acoustics here). They then board a boat for a magical cruise beneath the "starry" glowworm-lit cave ceiling, floating out of the cave on the Waitomo River. Tours are 45 minutes and start at the magnificent Waitomo Glowworm Cave Visitor Centre, about 100 meters (300 feet) beyond Waitomo Caves i-SITE Visitor Centre.

Run in conjunction with the Royal Motor Yacht Club Toronto, the 2012 Heaven Can Wait race will be held on September 29-30, commencing at 11 am.
As in past years, it raises funds for men's cancer research and support programs, with all monies raised through entries going to the Cancer Council of NSW, plus an amount to Marine Rescue NSW.
Over the past two years, the race has raised over $75,000 for these causes.
The Preliminary Notice of Race for the event has been issued, and can be viewed at www.heavencanwait.com.au.
'We are urging previous particants to tell their crew, family, friends and colleagues, as well as fellow yacht owners about this event,' said Shaun Lewicki, Commodore of the Heaven Can Wait Yacht Club, and who is also a cancer survivor and Lake Macquarie sailor.
'We will publish the full Notice of Race in the next few months, and aim to have online entries open before the end of the financial year, so that those who may wish to make donations in the 2011-12 financial year are able to do so.'
He said there has also been some very encouraging news on the Swansea Channel, which joins Lake Macquarie to the ocean, and has become increasingly silted up in recent years.
'The NSW Department of Primary Industries, which is responsible for dredging and maintaining the channel, and the Boat Owners Association recently put out a joint press release (http://www.boaters.org.au/Documents/Articles/Swansea%20Channel%20Update%20122011.pdf) promising action during 2012 for a permanent solution.
'A dredging operation for the summer of 2011-12 is currently underway, and all indications are that there will be no issues for boats with drafts up to at least 2.5 m accessing the lake,' he said.
'The Heaven Can Wait organising committee has offered its full support to the BOA in pushing for a long-term solution to the channel problem.'
Lewicki said the HCW YC is also encouraging participants and supporters to join the club as a way of helping build the event.
'Membership, through to July 2013, is just $50, with members having the option of joining Yachting Australia through the club if they wish.
'Membership of HCW YC helps us ensure we have much-needed funds to run this event, including covering expenses such as fuel for support boats, along with lights, buoys and ground tackle, and other costs.
To join, simply go to the Heaven Can Wait website (www.heavencanwait.com.au) and click on the Join HCW YC Now button, which takes prospective members to the club's secure e-commerce site.

Living Grief (and Love) During The Holidays
By Stacy Morrison on December 22, 2011
BlogHer Original Post
When I was growing up, my family and I put up and decorated the Christmas tree every Christmas Eve. That was my dad's rule. What were also his rules were the exact way and order in which the tree would be decorated: first, the white lights, woven deep inside the tree to give it an inner glow; then colored lights on the outside branches; then tiny silver balls tucked toward the trunk, to reflect the white light; then colored glass balls; and, at last, the fancy ornaments, which came in trios, one for me and each of my brothers, branded with my mom's tiny and elegant handwriting noting the year the ornament represented. Then we topped it all off with delicate streams of tinsel, applied painstakingly with my mother's particular method -- holding a swath of tinsel between your thumb and forefinger, slowly move your hand over the branches, so the needles gently grasp just a strand or three, never too many pieces at once. Just the just-right amount of glint and shine to bring the tree all together.
I loved this exacting ritual, enacted the same way year after year -- though I thought it was terrible to have to wait to put up a tree we'd bought two weeks before. It stood, a silent sentinel, on the front porch, the water in its bucket often frozen in a solid plug around its stump. I would go outside and visit it on the front porch, my breath coming out in puffs, until my hands were too cold to stay there any longer.
As my brothers and I grew up, and moved out of the house, went off to college, got jobs and partners and our own freestanding lives, the tree tradition continued. My father would wait until Christmas Eve, when at least one or two of the three of us had arrived home for the holiday. And we'd decorate it together again, Vince Guaraldi on the stereo keeping us in joyful company. And at night on Christmas Eve, we all sat in the living room, with all the lights out except for the tree, and watched it sparkle, and murmured quiet conversation to each other. These nights were among our family's most placid moments. We knew what each of us was supposed to do and where we were supposed to be. There was no negotiating for family position; just Handel's soaring Messiah on the record player and the twinkling lights and the smell of the logs that were constantly burning in the stone fireplace. Home.
But time does its inexorable walk, which we can count in holidays or years or photos or my dad's hair and beard gone gray, or my mother's slowing pace. I took the helm of all the elaborate Christmas dinner planning and cooking in 2010, when my mother finally admitted she wasn't able to stand as long as all that festivity required. We opened a bottle of Dom Perignon to toast my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, which they'd celebrated just 9 days before. A landmark, a lifetime together.
That was my brother's and my last Christmas with our parents. Sudden and cruel illnesses took them over and took them away in the six months that followed. And so last year my brothers and I faced our final Christmas at their home, before we packed everything our parents had lovingly collected over the years into an armada of boxes and sent them off to be auctioned away to strangers.
My brothers assigned me the task of putting up the Christmas tree. "You'll do it the way dad did it," said my brother, Scott, who had never had the patience to weave in the light strands just so. He and I went into the basement and plowed through the inconceivable number of boxes filled with Christmas decorations. Over the years, my mother had gathered a decorative holiday object for every surface: the partridge-in-a-pear-tree she'd made for one of the bathrooms; the Santa sleigh filled with teeny little boxes she'd wrapped in colored foil for the hall table; the mistletoe ball on its red velvet ribbon, hanging from the dining room entrance. Opening those boxes was like opening the wound of their loss: without my mother's passion and love of the holidays attached, these items were worth nothing, a collection of musty and aging creations. We sealed up these decorations and pushed them into a corner, carrying upstairs the dozen boxes or so that carried the ornaments for the tree. And I got to work, feeling the years and history whoosh by my ears with every ornament I lifted out of its box, pegged to an exact moment in our family history.

Many problems turn out to be a lack of intimate knowledge of complex modern camera equipment.

Within the Genome: All One and All Different
On a recent hot Sunday afternoon, my eight year old son, Davide, and I left "the girls" (mom and four-year-old daughter) at home to embark on a field trip at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History on the National Mall in Washington, DC. We were going to visit a science exhibit celebrating the tenth anniversary mark of the human genome sequencing. It turned out to be one of my best Sundays in quite a while!
The exhibit is a collaboration between the National Human Genome Research Institute, one of the 27 NIH Institutes, and the legendary Smithsonian Institution. The result is a display which truly mesmerizes the visitor, or at least that was the effect on my son and myself.
The Genome Within Us covers over 4,000 square-feet of exhibit floor, presenting the human genome and that of many other species while highlighting a few key concepts that the curators clearly want to be the take home message. The show does not inundate the occasional tourist in flip-flops with a flood of notions and terms, rather subliminally sprinkles the visitor with key questions formulated in a clever way, so that child and grownup alike are engaged—Where do we come from? Who are we? Where do we come from? What defines me? And what defines my family and the people around me? What determines health and sickness?
The exhibit presents the natural world with its fascinating diversity, revealing how genomes of living things differ, and yet surprisingly how similar they can be. As a lifelong lab rat, I immediately thought the concepts could have been shown as aligned gene sequences from different species to show homologous regions. Then I would brag about the conservation of the homeodomain and how cool fugu's genome is because it is so compact. The exhibit itself shows nothing this way but sticks to these same core concepts, illustrated in a highly interactive, high-tech visual manner.
The exhibit opens by illustrating how genomic science changed archeology and paleontology, augmenting knowledge of human origins and helping answer questions about our ancestry. By clicking many buttons, the curious visitor meets people and their genomes, tracks backward to their ancestors and to the continents where their genes came from.
At this point my son asked me, "But so, dad, what does it mean to be American or Japanese?" People who live in those places have genes that come from all over! Are we all the same then?" My son attends a progressive school, called Oneness Family School, where the concepts of oneness are melded to the idea of differences between people to form the core of the education curriculum. Davide is primed to ask these sort of questions, but he was so surprised to find this concept actually written into our genes. We are all one and we are all different is not just simply something we say. It is real. It is written in our cells!
While Davide and I were still pondering genomes and the disparate origin of genes, the exhibit brought us straight into the brave new world of genomic medicine where knowledge of how genomic variants affect disease risk may revolutionize how health is maintained, and how diseases will be treated. And this also segued into presentations on the ethical, legal, and social concerns raised by genomic medicine.
Toward the end of the exhibit, the visitor can take a "genetic wheel" test, which assigns visitors to a bin based on common somatic traits, such as presence of dimples when we smile, the ability to roll up the tongue, and so on. At the end of the array test (not micro or high throughput!), I found myself in a group of people who… surprise, surprise… looked very different from each other though we had been binned together! So, who are we?
Davide was so fascinated by the test that he asked the attendant for two extra copies to take home for mom and sister. Back around the dinner table at home, Davide assigned the test to the rest of the family. It was a great teaching moment, which I am not sure the curators of the exhibit have envisioned.
Davide's sister, four-year-old Celeste, was adopted at birth and is "African American" (note quotation marks, I'll come back to this). Celeste does not share the genetics of anyone in our family, yet her scoring on the genetic wheel ended up being closer to mine than to Davide's. What a surprise for him, positive surprise, that is.
This was to me the perfect entry point to discuss what defines a family, and the fact that there are many ways of forming a family—adopted daughters, foster parents, step sons, same sex parents, etc. Yet we are all so different and so similar based on some traits, but not others. After having observed how genes move around through time and space, what does it mean to say that "I am European," or "I am African American?" What does it really mean? Hence, my use of quotation marks above. In fact, we all share a great deal in our own species and with other creatures, some as humble as fruit flies. Fundamentally, I find it so much easier to think of who we are based on what we do with what we have, rather than sticking labels identifying neat categories. It seems that nature failed to read our textbook taxonomies.
When I proposed this field trip to Davide, I was greeted with a boooooring chant (I think the teen years are occurring earlier), likely because going meant giving up a Nationals baseball game. When we walked out of the museum, Davide mentioned the exhibit was not as bad as he had feared. Trust me, this was an off-the-chart scoring in my son's Likert scale. I rarely get close to that with other ideas I float with him!
So thank you, Smithsonian, and thank you, NIH, for putting together such a wonderful exhibit! If the readers of the Activation Energy blog happen to find themselves in DC as tourists or as dapper business people, my recommendation is to make time for a visit to the Genome Within Us exhibit.
While pondering on the life lesson (not just life science!) that our family learned together from the exhibit, I felt energized to continue work on a project which I floated last year at the ASCB Council—a Cell Science Day. It would have talks and demonstrations from scientists, policy makers, celebrities, and patients, all to inaugurate an eye-popping cell science art exhibit. In June, the ASCB Council set aside seed funding for such an event. Stay tuned, more excitement to come in the ASCB genetically diverse yet so similar family!

Katy Perry visits Madagascar with UNICEF
Singer Katy Perry has visited Madagascar in support of UNICEF. Katy visited some of the world's poorest children to bring attention to the political crisis the island has been facing since 2009. The pop star started her trip in a slum area of the capital Antananarivo, where she headed to a child protection centre to meet abused and abandoned kids and young mums receiving support and counselling.
Perry was also pictured skipping at a school in Sahavola which had been rebuilt after being hit by a cyclone. She said: "In less than one week here in Madagascar, I went from crowded city slums to the most remote villages and my eyes were widely opened by the incredible need for a healthy life - nutrition, sanitation, and protection against rape and abuse - which UNICEF are stepping in to help provide. "I am grateful to UNICEF for giving me the opportunity to see first-hand how their programmes make a real difference in children's lives. Support for UNICEF is saving children, I am a witness to it".
