Giant cell arteritis (GCA) (temporal arteritis) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) are common, frequently related conditions in people generally over 50 years of age. Most studies have shown an association of GCA with HLA-DRB1*04 alleles. As regards isolated PMR, however, the HLA class II genetic susceptibility varies from one population to another. Besides associations with HLA, tumor necrosis factor appears to influence susceptibility to both conditions. Genetic polymorphisms have also been considered to be important candidates as factors of susceptibility to GCA and PMR. In this regard, gene polymorphisms for ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1), RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed, and presumably secreted), and interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist seem to play a role in the pathogenesis of GCA and PMR in some populations. However, additional studies are required to clarify the genetic influence on susceptibility to these conditions.
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) (temporal arteritis) constitutes a common vasculitic syndrome in European and North American countries that affects large and middle-sized blood vessels, with a predisposition to the cranial arteries, in people generally over 50 years of age [1].
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is also a common syndrome in people over the age of 50. The symptoms are pain, aching, and morning stiffness involving the neck, the shoulder girdle, and the hip girdle, which are generally associated with an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate [2]. PMR and GCA are related diseases, as PMR may be the presenting manifestation of GCA and is found in up to 50% of patients with GCA [2]. However, PMR is sometimes an isolated condition unrelated to GCA. The possibility of a genetic influence on susceptibility to GCA was initially supported by reports of cases of GCA among first-degree relatives.
GCA is the best example of an association between vasculitis and genes that lie within the HLA class II region [3]. Most studies have shown an association with HLA-DRB1*04 alleles [4]. In addition, the risk of visual complications is also associated with HLA-DRB1*04 alleles [1]. Unlike PMR in the context of GCA, which is mostly associated with HLA-DRB1*04, the susceptibility to isolated PMR associated with HLA class II genes varies from one population to another [4]. Relapses of PMR, however, have been found to be significantly more common in patients who have the HLA-DRB1*04 allele, and particularly in those carrying the HLA-DRB1*0401 allele [5]. A lack of homozygosity of the shared epitope in GCA has been reported in northwestern Spain [4] and Rochester, Minnesota [6]. This finding contrasts with observations regarding rheumatoid arthritis (RA), where homozygosity of the shared epitope is generally associated with additional risk of a more severe disease. These findings suggest that the pathology seen in GCA may be due to antigenic cross-reactivity or hypersensitivity after exposure and response to an infectious agent [4]. This mechanism would be consistent with some epidemiological data and the observed seasonal variation in disease onset. However, other, unknown, predisposing factors in the elderly may be implicated in the pathogenesis of these conditions.
Apart from HLA-class II genes, it is likely that other genetic factors may contribute to the susceptibility to these conditions, particularly those factors involved in inflammation. GCA and PMR share evidence of an inflammatory process. However, concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α have not been found to be elevated in either condition. In northwestern Spain, GCA and PMR are associated with different TNF microsatellite polymorphisms. GCA is strongly associated with the allele encoding the TNF-a2 microsatellite. This association is largely independent of the association of GCA with HLA class II genes. A negative association with TNF-a10 was also found. In contrast, in patients with isolated PMR, there is a positive association with TNF-b3, which is also independent of the HLA class II association with isolated PMR, and a negative association with TNF-d4 [7]. Thus, TNF and HLA associations appear to be able to influence susceptibility to these conditions independently of each other.
Genetic polymorphisms in endothelial-cell adhesion molecules have also been considered to be important candidate susceptibility factors for GCA and PMR. The intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) is a member of the immunoglobulin-like superfamily group of adhesion molecules and is a ligand for β2 integrins present on leukocytes. It plays an important role in interactions between endothelial cells and leukocytes during inflammation. Expression of ICAM-1 on vascular endothelial cells can be significantly increased in the presence of mediators, which include lipopolysaccharide and cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), TNFα, and interferon-γ. In biopsies of temporal arteries from GCA patients, ICAM-1 is highly expressed in the adventitial microvessels and neovessels within inflammatory infiltrates [8], and changes in concentrations of circulating soluble ICAM-1 have been correlated with disease activity in GCA [9]. Two polymorphisms of the coding region have been identified for ICAM-1: G or R at codon 241 (exon 4) and K or E at codon 469 (exon 6) [10]. In Italian patients with PMR and GCA, a higher frequency of the allele R at codon 241 of ICAM-1 has recently been reported [11]. In these patients, an association between polymorphism at codon 241 and an increased risk of relapses in PMR was also observed. However, unlike the findings in most series, GCA was not associated with HLA-DRB1*04 in that particular region of northern Italy. In northwestern Spain, in contrast, where susceptibility to GCA has been associated with HLA-DRB1*04 [4], no evidence was found of an interaction between HLA-DRB1*04 and polymorphisms of ICAM-1. Thus, in that particular region, ICAM-1 polymorphisms are not genetic risk factors affecting the susceptibility and severity of GCA [12].
The cytokine RANTES is a potent chemotactic factor for monocytes, CD45RO+ memory T cells, basophils, eosinophils, and mast cells. Increased serum levels of this CC chemokine have been found in untreated PMR [13]. Hajeer et al have recently reported a novel polymorphism (G or A) in the human RANTES gene promoter at position –403 [14]. Because of this finding, an analysis of the polymorphism at this position was performed in patients with isolated PMR and with biopsy-proven GCA unassociated with PMR. The frequency of allele A was significantly higher in patients with PMR – but not in patients with GCA – than in controls [15]. This observation suggests that the presence of the RANTES allele A at position –403 may make a person susceptible to the development of PMR.
RANTES is secreted by T lymphocytes, platelets, and synovial fibroblasts. After interaction with the CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5), it activates memory T cells and monocytes, which are the predominant cells in the synovial tissue of patients with PMR [16]. The chemokine receptor CCR5 is encoded by the CMKBR5 gene located on the p21.3 region of human chromosome 3, and is the major coreceptor for the macrophage-tropic strains of HIV-1. A 32-nucleotide deletion (Δ32) in one or both alleles of the CCR5 gene has been observed [17,18]. This 32-bp deletion within the coding region results in a frame shift, because of which this gene variant yields a protein product – a nonfunctional receptor – that is biologically inactive [17,18]. In patients homozygous for CCR5Δ32, the concentration of RANTES secreted by their lymphocytes is 5–10 times that found in patients homozygous for CCR5 [19]. Chemokines are suggested to be critical for establishment of inflammatory processes in autoimmune diseases such as RA. In a series of 673 patients with RA, none had the homozygous CCR5Δ32 genotype, compared with a frequency of 0.009 in a group of 815 controls [20]. However, two other studies have not confirmed the association of CCR5 with RA [21,22]. To assess whether this 32-bp deletion might play a role in PMR, Salvarani et al examined the CCR5 genotype in 88 patients with PMR in whom RA was excluded, and in 87 controls [23]. Those workers found that the allele and genotype frequencies of CCR5Δ32 in patients with PMR and healthy controls did not differ significantly. They also found that the 32-bp deletion from the CCR5 receptor was not associated with any particular feature of the disease or with a different frequency of relapses. Thus, the 32-bp deletion of the CCR5 receptor does not seem to be implicated in the pathogenesis of PMR.
The IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1 RN) gene is located on chromosome 2, in close proximity to the IL-1A and IL-1B genes. Several polymorphic sites have been described for this gene, including a variable number of 86-base-pair tandem repeats within its second intron [24]. Allele 2 of this polymorphism was associated with increased production of IL-1 RN by monocytes and with higher plasma concentrations. It has also been associated with severity of the disease in systemic lupus erythematosus, ulcerative colitis, and alopecia areata. Boiardi and colleagues recently reported a significant association between susceptibility to PMR and the IL-1 RN*2 allele, particularly in the homozygous state [25]. However, they found no associations between IL-1 RN biallelic gene polymorphism and relapses of the disease or duration of corticosteroid therapy.
Although a genetic influence in the pathogenesis of GCA and PMR does exist, additional studies in different populations are required to clarify the pathogenesis of these common and frequently associated conditions. Moreover, it will be clinically useful to search for genetic markers that may predict the severity of disease in both conditions.

Cisco has been using the term 'mobility' to provide a more accurate description of a range of products, technologies and capabilities we can enable…I don't always feel like this term is widely understood as the primary reference to wireless capabilities. Keeping up with changes at Cisco and trying to determine the difference between new technology and new terminology can't be easy.
The always well-spoken Chris Kozup gave us some great reviews on the mobility front on a couple of recent episodes. This first one, "Self-Healing Wireless", originally aired as part of TechWiseTV Episode 57.
Our podcast channel has been consistently rolling out these sneak peak excerpts from recent shows…I have been behind in embedding them here. If you are following our podcast channel however…you are probably OK. Although I will note that as large as these HD files are getting…watching as embedded here might give you better resolution!

Component/s: View technologies
When rendering HTML (or XML) a small set of markup characters must be escaped (examples: &,',",<,>). In a "text/html" view the obvious choice is the encodeAsHTML codec for providing markup escaping. (Cf.
In addition to escaping markup the encodeAsHTML codec converts a random choice of additional characters to HTML character entities. I say "random" because the content type of a view has two dimensions, MIME type and charset. The need for additional conversion depends on the charset. If the charset of the view is UTF-8 there is no need to convert any additional characters. (So whether
GRAILS-3321 is a bug depends on the charset.)
For instance, given UTF-8 content in a Nordic language like Swedish, the only effect of the additional conversion is to add some 30% content length. The content is valid before and after the conversion.
Given content in, say, Chinese, the chance of finding additional characters to convert is small.
The choice of codec should reflect the two dimensions of content type. One way is a super intelligen encodeAsHTML codec that takes the current charset into account. Considering the number of possible charsets the codec would turn into a monster. A better way is to provide codecs for the most common combinations of MIME type and charset and extend the convention for specifying default codec. For instance, in Config.groovy:
grails.views.default.codec = 'html/utf8'
grails.views.default.codec = 'html/iso8859-1
would select the new codecs encodeAsHtmlUtf8 or encodeAsHtmlIso88591, respectively.
Since all strings in the Java world originally are Unicode there is an intrinsic problem converting into a smaller charset. For instance, there is no meaningful conversion of Japanese into ISO-8859-1. I'm not sure what the current encodeAsHTML does about that.
Even I think it should have been minor, my mistake!
This no longer appears to be a problem, as in Spring 3.0.5 (which supplies the codec) that is used in Grails 1.3.7 and higher, characters without an explicit HTML entity are not encoded at all.
Which means you must have the correct encoding set now - but who doesn't use utf-8 now?!

Food servers more vulnerable to legal threats
The Associated Press
Contact Editor
WASHINGTON (AP) -- People with severe food allergies have a new tool in their attempt to find menus that fit their diet: federal disabilities law. And that could leave schools, restaurants and anyplace else that serves food more vulnerable to legal challenges over food sensitivities.

 A settlement stemming from a lack of gluten-free foods available to students at a Massachusetts university could serve as a precedent for people with other allergies or conditions, including peanut sensitivities or diabetes. Institutions and businesses subject to the Americans With Disabilities Act could be open to lawsuits if they fail to honor requests for accommodations by people with food allergies.

 Colleges and universities are especially vulnerable because they know their students and often require them to eat on campus, Eve Hill of the Justice Department's civil rights division says. But a restaurant also could be liable if it blatantly ignored a customer's request for certain foods and caused that person to become ill, though that case might be harder to argue if the customer had just walked in off the street, Hill said.

 The settlement with Lesley University, reached last month but drawing little attention, will require the Cambridge, Mass., institution to serve gluten-free foods and make other accommodations for students who have celiac disease. At least one student complained to the federal government after the school would not exempt the student from a meal plan even though the student couldn't eat the food.

 "All colleges should heed this settlement and take steps to make accommodations," says Alice Bast, president and founder of the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness. "To our community this is definitely a precedent."

 People who suffer from celiac disease don't absorb nutrients well and can get sick from the gluten found in wheat, rye and barley. The illness, which affects around 2 million Americans, causes abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea, and people who have it can suffer weight loss, fatigue, rashes and other problems. Celiac is a diagnosed illness that is more severe than gluten sensitivity, which some people self-diagnose.

 Ten years ago, most people had never heard of celiac disease. But awareness has exploded in recent years, for reasons that aren't entirely clear. Some researchers say it was under-diagnosed, others say it's because people eat more processed wheat products like pastas and baked goods than in past decades, and those items use types of wheat that have a higher gluten content.

 Gluten-free diets have expanded beyond those with celiac disease. Millions of people are buying gluten-free foods because they say they make them feel better, even if they don't have a wheat allergy. Americans were expected to spend $7 billion on gluten-free foods last year.

 With so many people suddenly concerned with gluten content, colleges and universities have had to make accommodations. Some will allow students to be exempted from meal plans, while others will work with students individually. They may need to do even more now as the federal government is watching.

 "These kids don't want to be isolated," Bast says. "Part of the college experience is being social. If you can't even eat in the school cafeteria then you are missing out on a big part of college life."

 Under the Justice Department agreement, Lesley University says it will not only provide gluten-free options in its dining hall but also allow students to pre-order, provide a dedicated space for storage and preparation to avoid cross-contamination, train staff about food allergies and pay a $50,000 cash settlement to the affected students.

 "We are not saying what the general meal plan has to serve or not," Hill says. "We are saying that when a college has a mandatory meal plan they have to be prepared to make reasonable modifications to that meal plan to accommodate students with disabilities."

 The agreement says that food allergies may constitute a disability under the Americans With Disabilities Act, if they are severe enough. The definition was made possible under 2009 amendments to the disability law that allowed for episodic impairments that substantially limit activity.

 "By preventing people from eating, they are really preventing them from accessing their educational program," Hill said of the school and its students.

 Mary Pat Lohse, the chief of staff and senior adviser to Lesley University's president, says the school has been working with the Justice Department for more than three years to address students' complaints. She says the school has already implemented most parts of the settlement and will continue to update policies to serve students who need gluten-free foods.

 "The settlement agreement provides a positive road map for other colleges and universities to follow with regard to accommodating students with food allergies and modifying existing food service plans," Lohse said.

 Some say the Justice Department decision goes too far. Hans von Spakovsky, a fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation who worked in the civil rights division of the Justice Department under President George W. Bush, says food allergies shouldn't apply under the disability act. He adds that the costs could be substantial when schools are already battling backlash from high tuition costs.

 "I certainly encourage colleges and universities to work with students on this issue, but the fact that this is a federal case and the Justice Department is going to be deciding what kind of meals could be served in a dining hall is just absurd," he said.

 Whether the government is involved or not, schools and other food service establishments are likely to hear from those who want more gluten-free foods. Dhanu Thiyagarajan, a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh, said she decided to speak up when she arrived at school and lost weight because there were too few gluten-free options in the cafeteria. Like Lesley University, the University of Pittsburgh requires that on-campus students participate in a meal plan.

 Thiyagarajan eventually moved off campus so she could cook her own food, but not before starting an organization of students who suffer from wheat allergies like hers. She says she is now working with food service at the school and they have made a lot of progress, though not enough for her to move back on campus.

 L. Scott Lissner, the disability coordinator at Ohio State University, says he has seen similar situations at his school, though people with food allergies have not traditionally thought of themselves as disabled. He says schools will eventually have to do more than just exempt students from a meal plan.

 "This is an early decision on a growing wave of needs that universities are going to have to address," he said of the Lesley University agreement.

Science@NASA Headline News
You may have noticed that the "look and feel" of Science@NASA stories has changed. There's no cause for alarm. Our core product, simply- and clearly-told stories about NASA science, remains the same. The changes are a sign of progress. Recently, the Science@NASA team joined forces with the Science Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters. Working together, we'll be able to cover a broader range of NASA discoveries and develop "citizen science" opportunities for our readers, while still producing old favorites such as Apollo Chronicles and "looking up" stories about backyard astronomy events. The sky's the limit.

Cranberry Almond Muffins Recipe
5 4
My youngest daughter, Elaine, made these wonderful muffins for breakfast when my husband and I were visiting her in Virginia. We just loved them, so now we enjoy them at our home. —Janice Pletscher, Basking Ridge, New Jersey
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 3/4 cup sliced almonds, divided
- 1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, butter and extract; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in 1/2 cup almonds.
- Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups half full; drop 1 tablespoon cranberry sauce into the center of each muffin. Cover with enough batter to fill cups three-fourths full; sprinkle with remaining almonds.

FINALLY done. This thing took me near 16 hours to get done. This will be a part of a mat that we are doing for BFRGames.com next kickstarter.
Keep an eye out on Twitter for more updates:
Awesome job on that fire!It looks real!And I like the bright color on the eyes,they contrast nicely!Well done!
Now this turned out nicely
The flames are wonderful, and I like how you can see the scales in some places.
I kinda thought this greyscale picture were just gonna stay greyscale for the rest of our lives >.>...
The flames were definitely breakthrough and actually came from a suggestion from a friend of mine who challenged me to draw the flames with a harder brush. It literally made all the difference!
Haa haa haa Thank you so much! I rather like that reaction!
very cool! Love the way the fire came out. great pose too ^^
Oh wow cool.
I love the fire effect, and the blue of the eyes really stands out.

Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Doctor's Best is an OK brand in my opinion, and Ginkgo may work on some people, but I took this daily for a couple of weeks and observed no improvement in cognition, attention or memory. I expected this to help with my cold extremities as well and I felt no benefit in that respect. If anything, I felt a bit dizzy and slightly nauseous at the beginning when taking it, which made me wonder how come some people take it for vertigo.
Possible danger for epileptics

I've recently had an epileptic seizure, after taking this product for about 3 weeks. I have also taken ginseng and other vitamins during this time. After doing some research on the web it seems that ginkgo is known to cause seizures (especially if contaminated with seed content which is known to be poisonous). Be careful !
Terrible experience...

While it is claimed that Ginkgo Biloba will enhance memory and concentration, it did nither for me. Instead, I was overstimulated and restless for about 6 hours after taking a standard dose. I could hardly sleep that night. Over all, a terrible experience. I will be throwing these out.
nothing good!

From looking around on the web, I have not seen many examples of setting a function equal to a function. However, in the few forums I found, it appears that many say that this method is not widely supported.
To explain my question, I have a form I would like to implement this on:

Check Out
<form name="checkOut" method="post" onSubmit="return(validate(this))" action="checkOut()">

Territory Number	<input type="text" name="numberOut" tabindex="1" maxlength="3" size="3" />

First Name of Publisher	<input type="text" onKeyUp="showHint(this.value)" name="fName" tabindex="2" maxlength="15"/>

Last Name of Publisher	<input type="text" onKeyUp="showHint_l(this.value)" name="lName" tabindex="3" maxlength="15" />

<input type ="checkbox" name="specialC" tabindex="4" value="Yes"/> Special Campaign

<input type="button" onClick="clearForm()" value="Reset" />	<input type="submit" value="Check Out" />

Suggestions:

More specifically, the checkOut() function will be using ajax to submit the form values to a php script that runs a few insert commands against a database (I want to use ajax to learn the technique as I'm fairly new to web-based languages. Therefore, I want to put off the use of jQuery for awhile). As of right now, I don't have an example of the function.
Naturally, that begs the question, could I simply put that function into the event handler: onSubmit = "checkOut()"? At the same time, I would leave action=""? I would assume that the entire function would execute the php script and do exactly what I want without having a separate action script.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

FYI Folks -- I trust that the reviews I write about the articles I curate help people along in their business storytelling journey. I know that there are many curators out there who do not add reviews/comments to the articles they highlight.
As a result, Scoop.it and other curation sites are getting a backlash because audience members are tired of getting a link to an article that brings them to Scoop.it, and then requires another click to get to the article. Now I know that is annoying. And there is nothing of value offered between clicks.
Marty's response to the original blog post is right on. Read it along with all the other comments. Truly illuminating.
Other than a rant for me, what's the value of this post to you and business storytelling?
Namely this -- no matter what medium you use -- blogging, curating, digital storytelling -- make sure you are actually adding value for your audience. Expand their knowledge, give them tools, show them how, and offer your excellent insights. The stories you share have to connect to your audience in these ways. Anything else is a waste.
All of these posts and reviews add up to telling your story in a big picture way. So thanks Marty for addressing this issue, and reminding us about principles for quality curation. I've learned a lot from both you and Robin!

Being new to Scoop.it, I was glad to read this. I wouldn't have thought about this...
Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, November 23, 2013 12:30 AM
"Educators nod sagely at the mention of 'social constructivism' confirming the current orthodoxy in learning theory. To be honest, I'm not even sure that social constructivism is an actual theory, in the sense that it's verified, studied, understood and used as a deep, theoretical platform for action. For most, I sense, it's a simple belief that learning is, well, 'social' and 'constructed'. As collaborative learning is a la mode, the social bit is accepted without much reflection, despite its obvious flaws. Constructivism is trickier but appeals to those with a learner-centric disposition, who have a mental picture of ideas being built in the mind."

ELK GROVE — The El Dorado Hills Crushers 14U baseball team notched another championship after winning the All World Baseball Edge of Darkness Tournament in Elk Grove.
The combination of good pitching, strong defense and abundant hitting up and down the lineup allowed the Crushers to go a perfect 4-0 against tough opponents, including local rivals Hard 90 of El Dorado Hills.
In its first game, El Dorado Hills defeated the local Elk Grove team, Molina Marauders, 10-5. Ivan Brustad went 3-for-3, scored twice and Joe Durket was 3-for-4 with four RBIs. He and Ian Baleme combined for the win on the mound.
Next, the Crushers sneaked past the Antelope Avalanche 5-4 with pitching help from Will Goodin and Noah Skelly. Trevor Barbosa scored the winning run in the top of the last frame. The game ended when Mason Ghidossi applied the tag on a pick off of the tying run at third base.
As the No. 1 seed going into bracket play, the Crushers again locked horns with the Antelope Avalanche. This time, the Crusher bats exploded for nine runs with every Crusher contributing. Devin Kramer scored twice and had three RBI's. Good pitching by Will Goodin was supported by near perfect defense, led by shortstop Sean Coulombe with six putouts.
In the championship game, the Crushers continued hitting where they left off. Against Hard 90's Premier Team, the Crushers rolled to a 12-5 victory and their second championship. Hits, sacrifices and strong fundamental offense allowed them to score six unanswered runs in the first two innings.
Those runs were all pitchers Durket and Ian Baleme needed as they kept opposing hitters off-balance the entire game. A pivotal double by Tim Rhyan with the bases loaded in the top of the sixth inning cleared the bases. In the bottom half, Goodin caught a deep fly ball to right field and then threw it to Mitch Alhady, who delivered a laser throw to the plate for a double play to end the inning.
"It was a fun weekend, and we played very sound fundamental baseball. A good combination of small ball and long ball helped us move runners around in each of our games," coach Matt Durket said. "I am very proud of these players because they are committed to getting better each time they take the field, whether for a game or practice."
The Crushers are also coached by Casey Rhyan. They train at California Baseball Academy under the watchful eye of Sonny Merlo and his coaches.

- Bets on a decline in the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX -1%) have fallen to 25% of shares outstanding from a record 126% in February, according to Bloomberg. Shorting the VXX is a play on continued calm in the markets, and a bet (along with other short volatility moves) that earned plenty of coin in 2013.
- The VIX jumped 4.4% yesterday as stocks struggled, but has closed below 15 for 24 consecutive sessions, the longest streak since about the time surrounding the start of 2014. It hasn't climbed above 18 since February even amid Russian tension and sizable selloffs in small caps and tech momentum names.
- "The longer you go without a hurricane, the more likely it becomes for the next period," says Mark Yusko, CIO at Morgan Creek Capital. "It's usually around those times, when everybody is convinced nothing can happen, that something happens. Markets tend to move to extremes. Those alligator jaws don't stay open forever. They eventually snap shut."

- U.S. stocks are well off session lows, but gold continues to move ahead, now up 2.3% and at a 4-month high of $1,352 per ounce. At a 5-month high is WTI crude oil, up 2.1% to $1.04.74 per barrel.
- Not showing much movement earlier, money is now flowing out of Europe and into the greenback, which has gained 0.5% against the euro (FXE) and cable (FXB) and 0.4% vs. the Swiss franc (FXF)
- Another beneficiary is volatility, and the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX +5.4%) moves to its highest level in a month.

"TVIX only $6.50 above fair value," tweets a wise guy as shares in the leveraged ETN are hammered again this morning, -8.4% to $6.56, bringing the decline to 55% in less than 3 days.

Credit Suisse will restart issuance of TVIX ETN units today. It was the suspension of such last month that led to the units massive premium to NAV, much, but not all of which melted away yesterday - no doubt because the market expected today's announcement.

SVXY Description
This Short ProShares ETF seeks a return that is -1x the return of an index or other benchmark (target) for a single day, as measured from one NAV calculation to the next. Due to the compounding of daily returns, ProShares' returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the target return for the same period. Investors should monitor their holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.

Sony Ericsson hacker appeals imprisonment
The Hungarian man sentenced to three years in prison for industrial espionage after hacking Ericsson and Sony Ericsson intranets on Tuesday appealed that sentence.
Csaba Richter, 26, hacked into computer systems from his home in a small town north of Budapest from March 2002 until June last year. He has admitted to stealing documents containing information about Ericssons and Sony Ericssons telecommunications, but said he did not think the information he accessed and downloaded was classified.

The C.G. Jung Foundation of New York Summer Study 2015:
Julie Bondanza, PhD,
Intensive Program 1:
Passages: Identity, Consciousness, and Transformation
July 6– 10
Jung felt that individuals continue to develop thoughout their lifespans. In our first program, we will view through the lens of analytical psychology those fundamental passages in life experience that contribute to a development of identity and consciousness. We will first receive an overview of life's transitions as seen through the concept of initiation. We will next explore various psychological passages through adolescence, parenting and mid-life and the transformation that each can bring. Finally, we will conclude the week with a discussion about the archetypal forces that shape our perception of aging in our culture.
Monday, July 6
9:00– 10:00am
Registration, Welcome and Orientation
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Paths to Transformation: From Initiation to Liberation
C.G. Jung's intensely powerful profusion of imaginal experience during midlife impelled him to communicate with the psyche in creative ways that carried him toward a larger expression of himself and his work. This lecture and discussion will explain life transitions, employing the motif of initiation, and assist participants in gaining awareness of the messages being spoken through their own unconscious strivings to achieve a more complete and authentic expression of themselves in the world.
Instructor: Kate Burns, LPC
Tuesday, July 7
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Adolescent Passages: Gazing back so that we may go forward
Jung called myths the "first and foremost psychic phenomena that reveal the nature of the soul." As we tell, discuss, and analyze myth through the lens of adolescence, we will rediscover as adults those rare, core moments in life which help us realize that we can live again with the sense of passion in life first experienced in the adolescent world of infinite possibilities.
Instructor: G. Kwame Scruggs, PhD
Wednesday, July 8
10:00 am – 1:00 pm & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Initiation into Parenting
Parenting is a developmental journey for the parents as well as the child. First, in becoming a couple, there's the shift from "I" to "We." Then, when the baby comes, new opportunities for individuating are opened. Finally, the letting go required as the child matures brings another opportunity. Each transition brings one through the initiation and separation stages of the journey.
Instructor: Daniel Griffin, PhD
Thursday, July 9
10:00am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Mid-Life Passage: From the Ego toward the Self
In C.G. Jung's Collected Works Volume 8, he wrote "The Stages of Life," in which he put forth the psychological transition that occurred in midlife. In the second half of life, Jung emphasized the importance of consciousness and attainment of spiritual value, meaning and purpose. He felt that the second half of life held spiritual treasures yet to be discovered. Through discussion and exploration of this midlife passage from the Ego toward the Self, participants will gain an understanding of what it means to find a new or deeper relationship with the Self.
Instructor: Jane Selinske, EdD
Student Dinner 5:30 – 7:30 pm:
Friday July 10
10:00am – 1:00pm, & 2:30 – 5:00pm
Aging, Ecology, and the Spirit of Nature
Through narratives, poetry, and dream analysis we will explore the archetypal forces - both fierce and generative - that shape our experience in the latter half of life. Tracking correspondences between destructive attitudes toward the environment and disparaging views of aging in our culture, Dr. Costello will challenge the dominant association of aging with images of decline and portray spiritual awakening as an archetypally-promoted developmental goal of the aging process. Special attention will be given to the passage into Elderhood and to the nature-based tasks of the latter part of life.
Instructor: Melanie Starr Costello, PhD
Intensive Program 2:
Into the Woods: The Quest for Individuation in Fairy Tales
July 13 – 17, 2015
In our second program, we will see how an understanding of the meaning of fairy tales can reveal archetypal patterns that illuminate our own development and affect our life choices. We will look at images of redemption, as described in Marie-Louise von Franz's classic works, and how they contribute to psychological growth. We will learn what fairy tales can tell us about the psychological tasks facing us as we mature. We will explore the development of masculine consciousness and the journey of the orphan toward wholeness. Finally, we will discuss the essential image of the Mother archetype and its role in the healing of the mother complex.
Monday, July 13
9:00 – 10:00am
Registration, Welcome and Orientation
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Motifs of Redemption in Fairy Tales
In this seminar, we will explore and elaborate on a series of lectures given in Zurich in 1956 by Marie-Louise von Franz, who was a close collaborator of C.G. Jung. By following her insights, we will discover how fairy tales and particularly their images of redemption open up a way for us to engage our own personal complexes and contribute to our understanding of the process of psychological growth and individuation. We will also reflect on some core concepts of Jungian thought, such as the shadow, anima, animus and the Self. Creative writing exercises will help us to ground some of the images in our own personal experience. Please bring a journal.
Instructor: Heide M. Kolb, MA, LCSW, NCPsyA
Tuesday, July 15
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 –5:00 pm
Act II: Fairy Tales for the Second Half of Life
In most fairy tales, the young Prince and Princess marry and live happily ever after. But what really happens then? A small group of fairy tales from around the world tell us – they focus on middle-aged and older protagonists. This workshop will explore what those fairy tales reveal about the psychological and spiritual tasks of maturity – the challenge of individuation and the role of the elder in benefiting society.
Instructor: Allan B. Chinen, MD
Wednesday, July 15
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
Sleeping Beauty: Masculine Development and Consciousness
The Sleeping Beauty fairy tale offers a fascinating glimpse into the problems of masculine development especially as they relate to a holdfast patriarchal mentality. The fairy tale provides us with a solution to this problem in the new hero who is "not afraid." The core of this resolution resides in the archetypal realization of the rite of initiation by our incipient hero.
Instructor: Robert Mannis, PhD
Thursday, July 16
10:00 am – 1:00pm; 2:30 – 5:00 pm
The Orphan Archetype as Seen through Fairy Tales
Symbols and images that appear in fairy tales and that have a compelling interest carry a message that, when taken up and worked with, reflect the myth we are living. By engaging in this task, we are led to a synthesis of their relevance to our individuation process. The orphan theme weaves throughout many fairy tales. In this seminar, several of these tales will be highlighted and their orphan dynamics brought into focus. For the orphan, this exploration of meaning can provide the nourishment that is needed to provide an inner home to reside in, an essential container leading to an experience of wholeness. The symbols and images directly expressive of orphanhood will be illustrated through personal experience reflecting their depth of meaning.
Instructor: Rose-Emily Rothenberg, MA, MFT
Student Dinner: 5:30 – 7:30 pm
Friday, July 17
10:00 am – 1:00 pm, & 2:30 – 5:00 pm
The Archetype of the Mother in Fairy Tales and the Move to Individuation
C.G. Jung wrote that "the mother carries for us that inborn image of mater natura and mater spiritualis, of the totality of life of which we are small and helpless." In this workshop, we will explore the Mother archetype as it is depicted in fairy tales and how the journey of the hero provides a trajectory toward the healing of the mother complex.

Kells PrioryKellsKilkennyRepublic of Ireland
The Augustine priory of Kells is situated alongside King's River beside the village of Kells, about 15km south of the medieval city of Kilkenny. One of its most striking features is a collection of medieval tower houses spaced at intervals along and within walls which enclose a site of just over 3 acres. These give the priory the appearance more of a fortress than of a place of worship and from them comes its local name of 'Seven Castles'.Kells Priory was founded by Geoffrey FitzRobert in 1193. FitzRobert was brother-in-law to Strongbow and the priory succeeded an earlier church which was dedicated to St Mary, the Blessed Virgin and served as parish church to nearby Kells village. During its first century and a half the priory was attacked and burned on three occasions. It seems likely then that the walls and fortifications date back to this period of unrest.In 1324 the Bishop of Ossory Richard de Ledrede paid a lenten visit to the priory. Following an inquisition into a Kilkenny sect of heretics, Alice Kyteler and William Outlawe were ordered to appear before the Bishop to answer charges of witchcraft. Outlaw was supported by Arnold de Paor, Lord of Kells who arrested the Bishop and had him imprisoned in Kilkenny Castle for 17 days. This caused great scandal and on his release the Bishop successfully prosecuted the heretics. Alice Kyteler fled to England and remained there.Dissolution of Kells Priory finally took place in March 1540 and the church and property were surrendered to James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormonde.The existing extensive ruin mostly dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. It consists of a church, a chapel, prior's residence or sacristy and a number of domestic buildings, all standing on an enclosed site of some 4 acres.

Spectacular scenary
Thank you. Yes, the Triglav Nat'l Park is wonderful. Especially on that day.
Thank you. The views were really fantastic all the way down from the summit (this is the ancient road between Klagenfurt in Austria and Trieste in Italy)
absolutely gorgeous
Amazing setting!
Very beautiful. Excellent location for that shot. I would love to see this picture with a little more saturation in the color, though! Also, see if you can find a similar spot without the trees in the foreground - the tree at the bottom right specifically is a little distracting from the rest of the picture. Overall though, great work.
Thanks for your kind review. See the note I just sent you for more details.
Thank you. The weather was fine and the autumn had just begun, all this rendered gorgeous a scenery fantastic on its own right.
That's a gorgeous picture - and I didn't realize Slovenia had mountains like that!
