As I wake up this morning, I can't believe it's really happened. It almost feels surreal. The house feels empty and so do I.
When I walk into the bathroom, the emptiness strikes me like an unexpected punch in the stomach. I don't stumble over hairdryers, make-up, or piles of laundry. All signs of my daughter are gone. I turn around and go downstairs. In the fridge is her vegetable juice that from now on will never be touched.
Yesterday, I took our 18-year-old daughter to the airport and gave her the final push. She left the nest to spread her beautiful, strong wings to fly across the ocean and start her new life in Amsterdam.
Hours before her departure, I drove to the shopping mall to buy her a pair of black suede boots. As my last gift to her before she left, these boots were symbolic. These specific boots will "fit" her into the new world of being a college student in Amsterdam.
For days before she left, I pondered about what to give her. I wanted to come up with something special that would help reduce culture shock and help her shift from being an "All American Girl" to a down-to-earth Dutch girl. These boots would surely do the trick.
The day before she left, I saw her go out of the house in a bikini. I wondered whether she was ever going to pack. We were getting pretty close to departure day, but when I asked her if it would be a good idea to start packing, she announced that today was a "Beach Day." Of course, the sun shone brightly and the sky was blue.
What more could I have wished for her?
I admire this brave, courageous girl who takes her first footsteps in Amsterdam today. At our final goodbye, I whispered in her ear that her wings are powerful and strong, and that the world would welcome her with arms wide open. She just stood there and looked at me. She must have been wondering what the future will bring for her.
Upon arrival in Amsterdam she has no housing (in Holland you don't live on a campus), and the arrangements for the school she'll attend aren't finalized because she still has to take a language exam. Getting into the sorority where she wants to become a member is a matter of a "lucky draw." In other words, I'm sending her off with a lot of uncertainty.
I ask myself why our life isn't simple and easy, or maybe even less extraordinary. The answer is simple because deep my heart I know I didn't sign up for "simple and easy." This extraordinary choice of my daughter's brings extraordinary challenges, and — as we trust — extraordinary results, not only for me, but for her too.
Sometimes even I worried about why she didn't worry more herself about all the things that were unsure. But I know why. In her mind, there's no place for worry about anything: about how she'll find housing on the day of her arrival in a city where the housing need is beyond telling, about how she'll become enrolled in school without the language exam, about whether or not she'll be "lucky" in the sorority lottery. Her mind's not programmed with worry or fear, but with lots of faith and trust. She firmly believes that all will be well, that she's safe no matter where she lands.
Yesterday, she told me that her level of anxiety goes only as far as finding it annoying that nothing is finally arranged. The rest of the "how" she leaves to her parents and to the Universe.
In the last weeks before she left, I watched her having non-stop fun with her friends. Her life was One Big Party. I smiled a lot because I saw how she stayed in the NOW. It almost seemed that she was never going to leave. "This is how I cope, Mom. I can't think of leaving all of you behind," she said one day.
Then the day arrives. As I wave my final goodbye, tears stream down my face. I run to the car and drive away, and it goes against every fiber in my being to leave her behind. I wonder how we mothers do it.
But in my mind's eye, I see my "little" girl standing in line with a suitcase full of faith. Not a small one, but a huge one. Next to her stands her dad, who has the honor of flying with her on the first leg of this amazing journey. I know everything will work out. It always does. But as a mother it's a challenge to let a child go out into the world of the unknown.
Back home, before I go to sleep, I climb the stairs to her pink room. I must admit that it takes some courage to face my pain. Her door is wide open, and the room looks like a hurricane has paid a visit to our attic. Clothes are strewn everywhere, the bed is a mess — indeed, nothing has changed. It looks as though she'll be coming home tonight. But in the doorway I find one black Cinderella mule from her prom — forlorn and forgotten in her hasty packing. How could it be more symbolic? Is this a sign that she hasn't completely landed on the other side? Is one foot still here in this world she just left?
I pick up the mule and put it on the mantel above the fireplace. My mind drifts back in time. Oh, how I loved her first footsteps in her golden sandals, and all her steps in all the different shoes that came after. I close my eyes and tell the Universe, "Now it's your turn. You take care of her." I promise myself I'll make sure our son who flies to Amsterdam next week takes that mule to our daughter so she'll fully land and so she has the right shoes to dance in until the morning comes.
And as I watch the sunrise this morning, I surrender.

B. F. Skinner
Burrhus Frederic Skinner (20 March 1904 – 18 August 1990) was an American behaviorist, author, inventor, baseball enthusiast, social philosopher and poet.
- Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless.
- Walden Two (1948), p. 95.
- The strengthening of behavior which results from reinforcement is appropriately called "conditioning". In operant conditioning we "strengthen" an operant in the sense of making a response more probable or, in actual fact, more frequent.
- Science and Human Behavior (1953).
- Let men be happy, informed, skillful, well behaved, and productive.
- Freedom and the control of men (1955/1956) American Scholar, 25 (1), 47-65.
- Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
- New Scientist (21 May 1964).
- We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. Knowing the contents of a few works of literature is a trivial achievement. Being inclined to go on reading is a great achievement.
- As quoted in B. F. Skinner : The Man and His Ideas (1968) by Richard Isadore Evans, p. 73.
- The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do. The mystery which surrounds a thinking machine already surrounds a thinking man.
- Contingencies of Reinforcement: A Theoretical Analysis (1969).
- We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word "admire" then means "marvel at."
- Beyond Freedom and Dignity (1972).
- A person who has been punished is not thereby simply less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment.
- Beyond Freedom and Dignity (1972).
- Many instructional arrangements seem "contrived," but there is nothing wrong with that. It is the teacher's function to contrive conditions under which students learn. Their relevance to a future usefulness need not be obvious.
It is a difficult assignment. The conditions the teacher arranges must be powerful enough to compete with those under which the student tends to behave in distracting ways.
- "Free and Happy Student" in The Phi Delta Kappan (September 1973); later published in Reflections on Behaviorism and Society (1978).
- The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount.
- As quoted in Meditations for Parents Who Do Too Much (1993) by Jonathon Lazear and Wendy Lazear, p. 5.
- It has always been the task of formal education to set up behavior which would prove useful or enjoyable later in a student's life.
- As quoted in Performance-based Assessment for Middle and High School Physical Education (2002) by Jacalyn Lea Lund and Mary Fortman Kirk, p. 165.
- I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.
- As quoted in "Unpacking the Skinner Box : Revisiting B. F. Skinner through a Postformal Lens" by Dana Salter in The Praeger Handbook of Education and Psychology Vol. 4 (2008) edited by Joe L. Kincheloe and Raymond A. Horn, Ch. 99, p. 872.
Quotes about SkinnerEdit
- Suppose that an engineer is presented with a device whose functioning he does not understand, and suppose that through experiment he can obtain information about input-output relations of this device. He would not hesitate, if rational, to construct a theory of the internal states of the device and to test it against further evidence. ... By objecting, a priori, to this research strategy, Skinner merely condemns his strange variety of "behavioral science" to continued ineptitude.
- Noam Chomsky, "The Case Against B. F. Skinner", The New York Review of Books, December 30, 1971.
- B. F. Skinner actually put forward – and this is a measure of scientific desperation over consciousness – the idea that consciousness was a weird vibrational by-product of the vocal cords. That we did not actually think. We thought we thought because of this weird vibration caused by the vocal cords. This shows the lengths that hard science will go to to banish the ghost from the machine.
- Alan Moore, in "Alan Moore Interview" by Matthew De Abaitua (1998), later published in Alan Moore: Conversations (2011) edited by Eric L. Berlatsky.
- There are occasions when a worthless, insignificant book acquires significance as a scrap of litmus paper exposing a culture's intellectual state. Such a book is Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B.F. Skinner…. The book itself is like Boris Karloff's embodiment of Frankenstein's monster: a corpse patched with nuts, bolts and screws from the junkyard of philosophy (Pragmatism, Social Darwinism, Positivism, Linguistic Analysis, with some nails by Hume, threads by Russell, and glue by the New York Post). The book's voice, like Karloff's, is an emission of inarticulate, moaning growls — directed at a special enemy: "Autonomous Man."
- Ayn Rand, The Ayn Rand Letter, Vol. 1, No. 8 (17 January 1972).

African American History Month
African American History Month
Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as "Negro History Week" and later as "Black History Month." What you might not know is that black history had barely begun to be studied?or even documented?when the tradition originated. Although blacks have been in America at least as far back as colonial times, it was not until the 20th century that they gained a respectable presence in the history books.

|Aquatic Rehabilitation Center
Idaho student-athletes have a state-of-the-art way to train and rehabilitate injuries with a HydroWorx therapy pool, located on the second floor of the Vandal Athletic Center.
"Aquatic therapy is one of the most versatile tools that we have, not only in rehabilitation, but in injury prevention and training," Idaho head athletic trainer Barrie Steele said. "We've been able to train people in a nearly weightless environment, which is one of the unique and best ways of doing it."
The weightless environment helps injured athletes train earlier in their rehabilitation processes and also provides a low-impact training environment for athletes who have problems with certain dry-land training activities.
Four video cameras are installed underneath the surface of the pool and the feed from those cameras appears on two televisions next to the pool, which helps the athletic trainers monitor the workouts. A computer and controller adjust the pool's jets, lift and treadmill.
The lift is used to vary the depth of the water the athlete in the optimal position, which can range from the waist to the shoulders, or completely non-weight-bearing and wearing floats. The treadmill is used for running or other exercises and jets can be turned on to increase water resistance. Steele said as many as four athletes can use the pool at a time, depending on the workout and if they are relatively the same height.
By The Numbers:
• Measures 8x12 feet
• Maximum depth of 6 feet
• Can treat four people at one time
• Treadmill has variance of 0-8.5 mph
• Two jets to increase resistance
• Three video cameras and four monitors to provide instant feedback
• Has been used for two master's studies and one doctoral pilot study

Hey guys!
I had an awesome experience at this year's World Championship. My first match was against Michael Langhi of Alliance, multiple time world champ and number 2 in the world at lightweight, and even though I lost I came away feeling really good about it because it was a really close match coming down to only a single advantage point! Check out the video of the match above and here's the link to an article on graciemag where they name my match as one of the best matches to fly under the radar this year:

News: Baseball Rallies Twice, But Not Enough In 6-5 Loss
The South Coast Conference record reads 1-3 for the Pasadena City College baseball team, but, in four games, the Lancers have been in a position to win all of them. Despite putting together rallies in the sixth and ninth innings, PCC fell short in a 6-5 loss to El Camino College Tuesday at Brookside Park's Jackie Robinson Memorial Field.
Against El Camino (9-8, 3-1 in SCC play), the Lancers trailed 3-0 before stringing five straight singles together during a 4-run sixth inning to take a 4-3 lead. In the ninth, trailing 6-4, PCC seemed prime to pull out a comeback win.
Shortstop Josh Clark reached on a shortstop error and catcher Cameron Silva singled to open the Lancers' final frame. First baseman David Halstead, who batted 3-for-5, followed with a RBI single to right center that sent Silva to third as the potential game-tying run.
With no outs, El Camino closer Collin Nelson worked his way out of the jam. Nelson got PCC rightfielder Anthony Martinez to hit a short flyout to right holding Silva at third. Then, PCC tried a squeeze bunt by second baseman Tyler Dominguez, but the ball was fielded by Warriors' third baseman Rex Calkins, who gunned out Silva on a fielder's choice at home plate. The Lancers still had the tying run in scoring position, now at second base in pinch runner Jamie La Pointe. Nelson then picked up his third save as he induced PCC designated hitter Tarik El Abour to ground out to second for the final out, preserving ECC's victory.
"It's frustrating," said PCC head coach Evan O'Meara. "The team is so close to realizing it can win. But we keep shooting ourselves in the foot. We just can't seem to move runners over when we need to, and we are not getting quality at bats when the game is on the line. All we can do is hope that we get better at executing on offense."
PCC (3-13 overall) is 2-5 this season in games decided by one run with six of those contests played at home.
Lancers' freshman pitching ace Tim Shiba (1-2) took the loss although he left the game with runners on base and tied 4-4 in the top of the seventh. The freshman knuckleballer allowed 11 hits over six innings, allowing five runs (three earned). Reliever Spencer Stute hurled three innings of 1-hit ball, although he allowed a sacrifice fly to Sean Issac in the seventh that gave El Camino the lead for good at 5-4.
Dominguez, El Abour, and centerfielder Angelo Robledo all had two hits in a 13-hit PCC attack. Unfortunately for the Lancers, they left 11 on base (El Camino stranded 13) and none of the hits were for extra bases.
After 16 games, Halstead, a returning All-SCC Second Team selection, leads the team with a .350 batting average while Shiba has a 3.13 ERA and sophomore Evan Stransky a 3.28 ERA in a combined 61 innings of work.
In the four SCC games, PCC is outhitting opponents, .312 to .304, and has a better ERA, 4.37 to 5.09. However, opponents have made less errors, 5 to the Lancers' 12, and pitchers have allowed less walks, 12 to 21 given up PCC hurlers.
The 3-game series continues Thursday, March 14 in a 2:30 p.m. first pitch at El Camino in Torrance. The Saturday, March 16 finale is also at ECC, beginning at 12 noon.

Minister Reynders deplores civilian casualties in Israel and the Palestinian Territories and calls for a lasting ceasefire
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is adamant that everything must be done to reach a lasting ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza Strip. He fully supports the intense efforts currently being made by Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the Arab League Nabil Elaraby and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in this climate of persisting violence.
Didier Reynders remains very concerned by the suffering of so many innocent civilians on both sides of the conflict. He expresses his commiseration to all civilian victims and their families.
In this context, he strongly condemns the attack perpetrated in the centre of Tel Aviv today, which caused many civilians to be injured precisely at a time where hope for a truce had arisen after eight days of confrontations.

I was super excited to see that 3 Musketeers came out with a new limited edition flavor for the holidays. I spotted it on one of my trips to Target, which of course always leads me to cruise the candy aisles. I was lucky and spotted this one, since, in a way it looks very similar to the normal "festive" bag of regular 3 Musketeer minis. Over the years I've learned to be careful and to read the packages to make sure I'm not missing anything new. And this time it has certainly paid off!
This is quite a big bag of minis, ready for the holiday candy bowl. Each wrapper either is either silver or a nice light cocoa color. The aroma is very sweet and smells very much like a normal 3 Musketeer candy bar. There's nothing in the appearance that looks different to me. I do very much love the festive artwork on the bag and it makes my brain scream "Yay! Christmas!" over and over.
The flavor is different in the ways I was expecting. The chocolate flavor has a very different essence to it. The chocolate has a very strong edge of dry milk power. It comes across like the aroma when you stick your nose into a bin of Nesquick. Even though cocoa as a drink is very watery in flavor, these candies don't come across that way at all. Even though the nougat in the center is flavored like cocoa, the chocolate coating elevates the flavor and really makes it into a candy that stands on its own. As for the texture, it's that texture we all know and love from 3 Musketeers. It's light and fluffy, but very rich at the same time. Super delicious!
I found myself reaching for these 3 Musketeers the most while having my morning coffee. The fluffy texture (which I do love) and the smooth, rich chocolate flavor paired itself really well with a hot cup of coffee. I wonder since these are hot cocoa flavored, does that mean I had a mocha? I can't rightfully say since I know little about making coffee drinks. Regardless, I really enjoyed them and the people I shared them with also seemed to enjoy them. They did say that these tasted "different" from regular 3 Musketeers, but they all couldn't quite lay their finger on it. All I know is they're yummy and they're something you should try out.

I see a sentence in this site:
But both can be quite strong depending on how they are spoken.
Is depending on […] an adverbial clause?
"How they are spoken" is a clause of manner or an interrogative clause, subordinate to the preposition "on".
"On how they are spoken" is then a prepositional phrase. As an alternative, you could say that "how they are spoken" is a noun clause that is the object of "depending on".
Now to "depending on how they are spoken". It is not a clause: it merely contains a clause. If you take "depending on" as a preposition, it is a prepositional phrase expressing a condition or something like that. Or could it be regarded as a participial phrase? Consider this sentence:
Suppose "depending" were a participle. Then it could be rephrased thus:
This does not make much sense. A better rephrasing would be this:
It seems clear that "depending" is not a participle, or it would have belonged to the subject "she". Therefore it must be a preposition here.
Your example would give this, if it were taken as a participle:
Or it could be a preposition:
The first interpretation is not entirely impossible, but I'd call it weak at best; the second one sounds much better. Therefore it is best considered a preposition here, which makes the whole phrase an adverbial adjunct of condition.
First let's define Adverbial Clause:
Hence in case it's an adverbial clause.

Creative Sparks
The Party
The Museum of Science and Industry welcomed some 700 guests to one of its most anticipated signature events: the Black Creativity Gala, which this year raised nearly $360,000 for the landmark institution's programming that champions the cultural and scientific contributions of African-Americans.
The Scene
Arriving partiers were ushered to the Juried Art Exhibition, where they sipped signature cocktails and took in artworks from new and noted African-American artists from across the country.
The Highlights
As one might expect, creative details abounded, such as an alluring arrangement of petite martinis on a tiered ice sculpture, impressive even to the most seasoned gala-goers. Lavish food stations featured Thai vegetable curry and crawfish mac and cheese—something for every taste, like the museum's exhibits themselves, open to the revelers. The most adventurous posed for photos in the 40-foot-tall tornado simulator before hitting the dance floor, where DJ Lil John and the Gentlemen of Leisure kept the crowd moving with an energetic mix of pop hits. –Photos by Alison Neidt and John Wheeler

In December of 2012, 45 teams from 17 countries set forth to re-imagine our landscape, and today(Nov. 4) the University of Manitoba announces that a team of Canadian firms has won its Visionary (re)Generation Open International Design Competition. What has been selected are not the final plans for the site's development. Rather, this winning concept will guide development as the university continues to work with its stakeholders and the winning team.
The winners are Janet Rosenberg & Studio Inc., Toronto and Cibinel Architects Ltd., Winnipeg, with Landmark Planning & Design Inc., Winnipeg, and ARUP Canada Inc., Toronto. Their proposal — "Arpent", a unit of measurement — will guide the development of a rare and beautiful parcel of land on the Fort Garry campus.

In case you missed this in Cyril's Blog.
Crane Cams is well known in high-performance and racing circles for its line of camshafts and engine valve train components. The company just closed its doors this week and fired all its employees. Crane Cams and Crane Technologies Group were founded by Harvey J. Crane Jr. in 1953 as Crane Engineering Inc. in Hallandale, Florida. In 1979, Crane Cams became an employee-owned company. Some operations moved to Daytona Beach in 1981, with the remainder of the operation and employees relocating here in 1985. Mikronite, an industrial technology firm in New-Jersey, bought Crane in 2006. Recently Crane has gone through a series of small layoffs but signed a 10-year lease. So the closure surprised Volusia County and State Officials who were working with Crane Cams to keep the company open and in the community. This is bad news for the moderate-displacement engine builders who relied on Crane for cam and ignition solutions.

Strength in What Remains is the story of Deogratias, a young medical student from the central African nation of Burundi. Through no fault of his own, he was forced onto a terrifying journey, a journey that split his life in two. First there was a six-months-long escape on foot from ethnic violence in Burundi and from genocide in Rwanda. Almost by accident he ended up in New York City, where he lived for a time in Central Park.
When I first heard Deo's story, I had one simple thought: I would not have survived. I hoped in part to reproduce that feeling in recounting what seems to me a rich tale: an adventure story, a survival story, an immigrant's story, a story of despair and determination, of evil and kindness. I also hoped to humanize what, to most westerners anyway, is a mysterious, little-known part of the world. But above all, I wanted to address the question of how one survives the torment of memories like Deo's, memories with a distinctly ungovernable quality.
Although Deo is now an American citizen, he has chosen to return to Burundi repeatedly. With the help of family and American friends, he has built a clinic and public health system amid the postwar wreckage of a rural village — part of a beginning, he hopes, of a new Burundi. This facility was a pile of rocks when I visited the site in the summer of 2006. By the fall of 2008, it had grown into a medical center with several new buildings, a trained professional staff, and a fully stocked pharmacy. In its first year of operation it treated 21,000 different patients. The organization that Deo founded and that sponsors and operates this facility is called Village Health Works. If you'd like to know more about it and its work, please use the link below.

ZF-2481: Zend_Cache documentation wrong: No longer valid configuration parameter names
In Zend_Cache_Core, certain translations of configuration parameter names were done which were removed (presumably in 1.1) and the documentation has not been updated. This results in certain features being unusable because the documentation (and examples in it) lead to exception-throwing behavior.
The cause was the removal of Zend_Cache_Core::$_backwardCompatibilityArray in revision 6676.
The following translations are no longer automatically done, and anywhere the Zend_Cache documentation says to use the left-hand string, the right-hand string must be used instead.
lifeTime lifetime
writeControl write_control
automaticSerialization automatic_serialization
automaticCleaningFactor automatic_cleaning_factor

I found this while using cachedEntity and experimentally upgrading my ZF version. It ought to be fairly easy going, a lot of it is a search-replace job inside the documentation.
BTW, r6676 affects only 1.0.3 and later, so this is a recent bug.
only Function and Class backends were wrong in documentation
fixed in trunk and 1.0 branch
PS : these old parameters were deprecated before 1.0 release and a warning was issued if logging = true

Athlete Picks
Hand-picked favorites from our sponsored team of professional athletes.
New technical micro-fleece running pullover adds a lightweight buffer of warmth that won't restrict arm turnover. Body-mapped stretch mesh panels down the sides and back accelerate the movement of moisture to keep you dry and warm. The quarter-zip neck provides extra coverage when fully zipped, or quick ventilation when unzipped. Reflective trim throughout keeps you visible while running on the trails or the road after dusk. Stash energy gels or car keys in the zippered pocket on upper left arm.
TKA (Thermal Kinetic Advancement) Fleece are proprietary fabrics created by The North Face® with superior insulation and wear-resistance. There are three different weights of TKA fleece offered throughout our products, and a TKA Superstretch fabric that excels in aerobic activities.
TKA 100 is a lightweight, high-performance microfiber fleece with a luxurious finish. TKA micro-fleece provides warmth next to the skin or in a layering system. This 100 percent polyester fabric is engineered to be both durable and resistant to pilling. It offers warmth when wet, launders well, compresses to a small size and packs easily.
TKA 200 is a midweight fleece ideally suited to function as a mid-layer. This 100 percent polyester, pill-resistant fabric is warm, breathable and has a great warmth-to-weight ratio.
TKA 300 is a mid to heavyweight, high-performance, pill-resistant fleece. It can be worn as a layering piece or by itself as a warm, casual outer layer; a great alternative to a cotton sweatshirt.
TKA Superstretch features a supple, four-way-stretch fabric that delivers exceptional breathability and comfort. The soft, brushed inner surface aids in the fabric's moisture control and prevents chaffing, while the polyester and spandex construction contributes to a conforming, supportive fit. TKA Superstretch is ideal as a layering piece in cool-to-cold conditions or may be worn by itself as an aerobic outer layer.

Theresa Flaherty turns on a projector and casts her blueprint onto an 18-square-foot canvas divided into six equal sections temporarily housed in a Terrance Cardinal Cooke Catholic Center conference room. After pairing her inspiration with hours of painstaking computer design work, this Catholic Charities volunteer's creation is ready to roll.
Her creativity provides the essential link between corporate volunteers yearning to brighten the lives of persons in need and locations where some of those served by Catholic Charities live and thrive.
Catholic Charities Beacon of Hope, for example, provides supportive housing and vocational transition programs for persons challenged by mental illness. While providing much needed services, the sites could benefit from brightening.
Meanwhile, corporate volunteers from the financial services company Deloitte LLP and the media company Viacom offered their help to cheer up these sites.
But their know-how was in business, not in art.
So Catholic Charities Director of Volunteer Services Staci-Jo Bruce advertised for a volunteer mural artist to design paint-by-number-type canvases that corporate volunteer groups could complete. Voila…Theresa saw the ad posted and signed right up.
"A lot of art out now is about self expression," Theresa says, as she traces her projected design on to the canvases. "I want to go someplace else, to give something to the viewer to uplift them."
Once she finishes her outlines, corporate volunteers can dawn aprons, pick up paint brushes and try their hands in a new line of work.
They have already completed six designs — 36 canvases all told — that now brighten Beacon of Hope locations.
"The unusual coupling of artists with corporate volunteers and persons in need creates a dynamic where everyone wins," says Damian Buzzerio, who assists with the Catholic Charities volunteer program.
For corporate volunteers, it offers a morale booster where artistic clerks and less artistic bosses swap leadership roles as they take advantage of the opportunity to help those in need.
For Theresa, who earns her living as a book and poster illustrator, volunteering provides a stress reliever that offers an opportunity to create according to her own inspiration.
And for Beacon of Hope residents, the donated art serves as an uplifting reminder that people, many of whom they never meet, care enough to brighten their homes and lives.
"I think art should be where you need it," Theresa says, "for regular people and not just in galleries."
Artistic or not, you can make a difference.
Check out our comprehensive list of volunteer opportunities.
Come join us.

Product Description
This colorful 24″ Little Souls Doll is a wonderfully whimsical Witch with lots of colors and details. Her black satin dress is covered by two layered skirts of shimmering lavender that are topped with a black lace cutout inset and pink crystal below her neckline and a fluffy green feather cummerbund fastened by a big black button beneath her hat.

I'm a Legendary GI member.
Hello, I'm new to these forums and so far I like this site a lot. I've been a long time subscriber to GI magazine and signing up here extends an otherwise great gaming atmosphere.
Hello all. My name's Seth. I'll be seventeen years old next month and live in Southern California. I've been a long time reader of GI, but I just recently opened up my own personal Rewards account at GameStop.
I'm currently the owner of a 360, but come November I'll be trading it in for an Xbox One. Hope to see you all around.
Hey everybody :) just recently joined this website ! So far I'm loving it, love watching the Test chamber vids & Replays, find them very entertaining. I'm also looking forward to meeting new people here that are just like me, so please be my friend, like to make loads ! :D
I stopped my subscription to GI. i've just been rather disappointed as of late. I can get my game info elsewhere. i'll still probably come here, but.. I'd much rather have Scientific American than GI these days.
The site just needs a revamp is all lol.
Kill'em with kindness, it's a slow painful death.

GIO Usage Guidelines/The Newcomer Cheat Sheet/Terms and Conditions
Woot woot! Welcome all you new peoples! Love new faces. :)
i definitely meant the magazine, i didnt expect much of the site, so it didnt disappoint me. in general, when gamestop took over and started pumping out 9's and 10's in this mag, i just lost interest. what happened to the biting and scathing reviews that tore at the stomachs of those who doth profane the games that we all hail as godlike entities or whatever. anyway, i just get tired of constantly following games, and i can do better research as of late myself, i notice. so, i stopped paying for GI. i mean, i really can't be the only one who remembered the silliness of this mag, and how sterile it is now in comparison? it even has a completely different sheen to it, and new advertisements, i mean, the usual comment is "oh well they need money too". to which i retort, "why?" i mean, look. game critics arent looking for friends, they're looking to create a better quality atmosphere, to save other people from throwing their cash at some junky game, and just giving good and sound advice, don't tell me that it should all be about money, because if it is, gameinformer has sold out, and has lost its credibility to me as a trustworthy source for game reviews and criticisms. just my opinion. i could be horribly wrong, but how can you say they're not in it for the money these days?
I'm in everything for the money...mmmm money! :)
this site sucks. can't even post anything half the time.
well its been in a big decline.
Dude Meta...was that a stab about my weight?

Baltimore County News
by County Executive Kevin Kamenetz
Thank goodness, most Baltimore County residents were able to avoid the worst of Hurricane Sandy. Our thoughts and prayers are with our neighbors in New Jersey and New York City. Low-level flooding here is already subsiding with limited damage to our waterfront areas, power is being restored and our tree and debris removal operations will be completed in days, not months.
A slight shift in the storm's path and it all could have been much different here. It can be tempting to think that the warnings and messages to be prepared were overkill and media-hype. We only have to look at the entire communities the storm leveled in New York and New Jersey, the ravaged coastlines, flooded homes and roads, and devastated infrastructure to see what came so close.
This storm is just one more reminder that preparing for the worst, well before a storm, is the smart thing to do. This storm has passed. But now is the time to prepare for winter snow and ice storms. Just ask folks in Western Maryland about early blizzards.
Prepare a family and think ahead to protect vulnerable family members – including pets. Think about what you and your family need if you lose power and can't get out of your home for three days. Stock up with non-perishable food now. Always keep some extra toilet paper, flashlight batteries and bottled water on hand.
If you're already ahead of the game and have leftovers from Hurricane Sandy, congratulations. That drawer full of batteries and those extra cases of water will be there for the next storm. And you can always use the can of tuna and non-refrigerated milk in a casserole!
The best way to stay informed during an emergency is to get updates directly from the Baltimore County Office of Emergency Management. Follow BACOemergency on Twitter. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BACOemergency. You can also get emergency information by following the. So please be prepared for the next storm. Click on the link now and sign up for emergency updates. Won't you please do it now, while you're thinking about the storm we just dodged?

At 11 a.m. this morning, approximately 350 full-time soldiers and airmen from the Delaware National Guard were sent home without pay until further notice. The 350 were uniformed Federal Technicians who serve as part of the 750-person full-time staff of the Delaware National Guard.
They reported to work at 7 a.m. and were on duty for four hours. The time was spent providing instruction, answering questions, and referring them to resources available (unemployment, health insurance, financial counseling, etc) with regard to the government shutdown.
The shutdown places significant additional hardships on our workforce, which is already strained by recent administrative furloughs, said Maj. Gen. Frank Vavala, Delaware's Adjutant General. Despite the substantial disruption and challenges, the Delaware National Guard can and will continue to support key military operations both here in the state and overseas.
"A shutdown of any length of time degrades readiness, but my immediate concern is for the 350 Soldiers and Airmen and their families who were essentially unemployed today," said Vavala. "Making it worse is this shutdown comes on the heels of them being furloughed during the period of July through September as a result of sequestration. This will pose a significant challenge on numerous fronts."
The Delaware National Guard employs a robust Family Support Staff and those support services, and many more, will remain available to those who were furloughed. "The Delaware National Guard is comprised of true professionals we will overcome any obstacles to support the mission and ensure our troops are taken care of," explained Vavala.
The Delaware National Guard is comprised of 2,700 Hometown Heroes who support our country, state and community. For more information, please contact LTC Len Gratteri at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (302) 540 0134.

La Monnaie ¦ Dance ¦ Rosas danst Rosas ¦ Intro
Rosas danst Rosas
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
Even now, thirty years after its creation, the mythical Rosas danst Rosas continues to surprise us with its modernity and move us with the determined grace of its young performers. Written in 1983 for the four founding members of the Rosas troupe, this dynamic and rhythmical piece combines the rigour of repetitive movement with the kind of youthful audacity that throws itself into the rhythm of the music and the energy of the dance. Abstract and everyday movements are wedded and translate the shy transformation of a young girl into a woman, a mix of seduction, refusal, unconcern and seriousness, but the choreography is always the underlying structure for the flowering of the emotions. This subtle balance between abstraction and emotion is at the heart of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's work and is magnificently illustrated in this early example of beauty that is methodical yet free.

Reviews for Ham and Corn Chowder
"I just made this and it is delish, I like that you put the corn and milk in the blender first, then add to the soup instead of trying to purée hot soup and getting all over the kitchen. I sautéed the ham with the veggies, and added half and half instead of milk at the end. I'd make it again"
"The only change I made was to replace the green pepper with diced carrot. The recipe was okay, but we didn't think it was anything special. We prefer the recipe for Creamy Corn Chowder http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/creamy-corn-chowder."
"The first time I made this I made it on the stove top. Tonight I put it in my crockpot. Still so yummy. I cooked the bacon and added the drippings to the crockpot.

Looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow!"
"Excellent soup recipe! Fast and easy to make. I omitted the green pepper & we thought this was delicious! The bacon gives it a really nice flavor. This is definitely going into my recipe box!"

The ultimate daypack. We took the expandable technology of our award-winning Alchemist 40 and adapted it for shorter trips. The 25 expands to a 35-liter capacity so you can extend that day trip to 48 hours.

Comments about Alchemist® 25 Pack:
I thought that this was going to be just like the 40liter version, just smaller. I was wrong. My two biggest gripes are that 1) the pad doesn't come out the back like the 40L does and 2) the extension doesn't have a flap like the 40L. It just had a single strap. Side note: my ice axe loop on the left side of my bag didn't have an attachment to secure it to the bag like the one on the right side does. Overall, I was just disappointed. That all being said, Eddie Bauer has an incredible return policy, so I'm not worried about being satisfied at the end of the day.

Comments about Alchemist® 25 Pack:
Great bag to use for hiking, take out the frame and remove the waist belt and its great for the gym or day use. I have two changes for the next model. First is that the nylon shell that extends to increase the size of the bag doesn't have enough secures to keep in completely out of the way when not in use. Secondly it would be nice if the frame came out of the bottom of the bag the same way it does on the 40 model.

Consumer Groups Seek Avandia Panel without Industry Ties
In the wake of a new study showing the best-selling diabetes drug Avandia increased heart attack risk by 43 percent over other drugs used for glycemic control, a coalition of leading consumer groups has asked the Food and Drug Administration to exclude scientists with conflicts of interest from a panel that later this year will reconsider the drug's safety. "By staffing the Avandia advisory committee with scientists from diverse specialties who are non-conflicted, you will send a message that the FDA cares about avoiding conflicts of interest and evaluating drugs on the basis of unbiased scientific findings," the groups said in a letter to FDA commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach. Signers included the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Consumers Union, the Union of Concerned Scientists and six other consumer groupsbody
The FDA is under fire for failing to respond to earlier warnings that Avandia (rosiglitazone) increased the risk of heart attacks in people with Type 2 diabetes. A company analysis given the FDA in 2005 showed a 31 percent greater risk, the Associated Press reported. As early as 2000, John B. Buse, a University of North Carolina endocrinologist who is incoming president of the American Diabetes Association, sent a letter to the FDA about "a worrisome trend in cardiovascular deaths and severe adverse events," according to the New York Times. Last week, Sen. Charles Grassley charged higher-ups at the FDA with blocking the black box warning that safety officials inside the agency wanted to put on the drug. They were told to await a company study that is at least two years away. "The office responsible for post marketing safety needs to have the ability to warn Americans when it thinks it needs to do so," Grassley said.
The FDA reform bill passed by the Senate earlier this month did not include provisions for an independent safety department, full transparency on clinical trials, and a ban on conflicts of interest on advisory committees. The House is expected to take up FDA issues in June as part of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act reauthorization process.
Drug Industry Gifts Make Gastro-Conference Easier to Digest
More than 15,000 doctors visited Washington, D.C. last week to attend the largest ever gathering of gastrointestinal physicians. Integrity in Science Watch paid a visit.
As soon as each doctor walked onto the convention floor, they were handed purple-pill backpacks advertising Nexium from AstraZeneca. The Shire Pharmaceuticals' booth offered weary physicians a park-like atmosphere complete with gently rolling grassy hills, stone paths, park benches, and free hot dogs. The Abbott booth contained a mini-movie theater. On every aisle, companies provided free slushies, gourmet espressos, coffee, tea, sweets, hot dogs, and fresh pretzels. They also offered beach towels, blankets, movies, free internet access, and, the most popular gift of all, a comfortable place to sit and chat with colleagues or the model-like sales representatives who prowled the convention floor.
Most of the doctors surveyed did not express concerns about the potential influence of the gifts. Some said they expect free knick-knacks at conferences, but would oppose them at schools or hospitals. Others said it was important for companies to promote themselves. Almost no one favored cutting out free gifts at physician conventions and offices, but perhaps that was because this informal survey only included doctors clutching blankets, towels, key chains, or pens.
The quietest space on the convention floor was the corner reserved for the small booths of patient advocacy groups, text book sellers, and scientific journals. "We don't get any sponsorship from corporations for our meeting booths," said Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America representative Laura Hitchens, eyeing the towering Fuji stereo sound system blaring a description of a colonoscopy camera. Thelma King Thiel of the Hepatitis Foundation says they wouldn't say no if a company was to offer to fund their booths, but not many companies are interested in prevention, she said. – By Caroline Rodriguez
Stanford Sides with Nuns Against Exxon
In a case of biting the hand that feeds you, Stanford University will join a group of New Jersey nuns and other environmental groups supporting a stockholders resolution demanding that ExxonMobil reduce its global greenhouse gas emissions, reports the Oakland Tribune.
In its proxy statement, Exxon opposes the emission-trimming proposal by pointing to the $100 million it has already given to Stanford for energy and climate research. Advocate groups are applauding Stanford's decision on the proxy vote, but still criticize its involvement with the oil industry. They accuse Exxon of using the school's name to greenwash the oil giant's support of scientists and organizations that downplay the risk of global warming.
Self-Censorship at Smithsonian
A former employee claims top officials at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History toned down elements of last year's climate change exhibit to avoid backlash from the Bush Administration, the Associated Press reported. The White House wasn't behind the move, said Robert Sullivan, a 16-year Smithsonian veteran who quit last fall after top officials tried to reassign him. Rather "the obsession with getting the next allocation and appropriation was so intense that anything that might upset the Congress or the White House was being looked at very carefully," he said.
Odds and Ends
University of California students want details on the secret negotiations that led to British Petroleum's massive $500 million grant to UCal-Berkeley for global warming research, the San Francisco Examiner reports . . . In a three-part series, the student-run Harvard Crimson examines technology transfer issues, including complaints from professors that the university's new conflict-of-interest rules are interfering with their entrepreneurial activities.

Comments about Mt. Everest and the Himalaya Topographic Map:
I use this map as a reference when reading stories of mountain climbing expeditions to Mt. Everest. When I have company, people are drawn to the map because of the mountain's notoriety. Having a detailed contour map of such a difficult, rugged and remote place is unbelievable and was considered next to impossible at times in the past.

One Planet Living: Sustainable Communities and Business from the UK to China, and an Open Source Framework
16 Jun 2012 - 16 Jun 2012Our last speaker of the day rounded up with a sentiment from 19th century French surgeon Dr Victor Pauchet that encapsulates the problem that we need to overcome. "The repetition of acts form habits: habits form character; character forms destiny." And this was ultimately what we are here to talk about; how to break the unsustainable patterns of behaviour that have gotten us into the planetary crisis position we find ourselves in.
Windsor Barra hotel
Windsor Barra hotel
With globe-spanning speakers convening on Rio to set out their businesses successes in using One Planet Living (OPL) principles and its overarching framework, we received a fascinating expose of low impact, sustainable communities from the UK to China, by way of Abu Dhabi, Portugal and sunny California.
Debunking the myth that these sort of green communities are luxuries, deliverable only at increased costs / reduced profits, BioRegional co-founder Pooran Desai kicked off with how the One Brighton housing development on England's south coast not only came in at standard costs, but the sales rate was well above standard. And a year later, three quarters of the new residents residents have indicated that not only have they a massively reduced environmental impact by living there, but their quality of life has improved immeasurably at the same time. The business opportunity � environmental / social sustainability link couldn�t be clearer. So no surprise that progressive companies are interested - with over $25 billion of property developments across the world currently employing the OPL framework.
Jason Hu, VP of China Merchants Property Development company (one of China's biggest developers) set out how they are employing OPL to transform their development arm into one that has shifted from properties, to green properties, to green communities and now to green lifestyles. All part of their 'Green Habitat vision, their current OPL project in Guang Zhou, Jinshan, is very large scale, with 20,000 people living there all enveloped within their '5 minute walking principle' (something increasingly common in OPL developments). That is, you can do all four 'walkings', says Jason, within five minutes - walking to school, for recreation, to work and to shop - with all the necessary commercial and retail space in the development. This OPL-inspired development won the 2009 UNHabitat award for best sustainable business.
Paolo Reis Silva, of the Portugese developer Pelicano, was up next setting out how the development-cum-reforestation project Mata de Sesimbra had employed OPL priciples from the earliest land use planning stages to ensure maximum impact and value were realised for the project. Getting these big decisions right in relation to density, mobility, food, etc was seen as key.
With less than half of the development area being built upon - the remainder being left for wildlife and wilderness (a key consideration for One Planet Living) � it was crucial that modes of transport and access to low environmental impact services were right. Using environmental psychologists to best understand the needs of their end users, the results are stunning (presentations will all be available on the BioRegional website shortly).
Swiftly crossing the Atlantic, the session (ably moderated by UNHABITAT'S Raf Tuts) moved on to how OPL can filter through into the public policy-making process to great effect. Andrea Traber of DNV KENA explained how OPL isn't just lending itself to the creation of a super-sustainable development in Sonoma, California, US, but has seen significant changes to local municipality regulation.
The negotiation process surrounding the development - which again takes a 5-minute living approach - has pushed California's already progressive state legislation such that regulations governing renewable energy use, water harvesting are much more developer-friendly, while maintaining the highest environmental credentials.
This 200-acre development will make a massive positive impact on its residents� lifestyles, while making progress towards reducing the five planet lifestyles that most Americans enjoy.
And it is not just at single development scale that OPL is employable. Edson Yabiku of global architecture and masterplanning firm Foster and Partners went out to outline how the new Abu Dhabi city of Masdar had used OPL principles to develop this car-free city (in one of the world's most car-dependent and resource hungry nations - having a 6-planet lifestyle!).
This 600-hectare city (about the same size as Venice) uses the OPL principle of 'Health and Happiness' as its cornerstone. That was the target from day one when they won the government-led competition to design the new desert city. As a young, fast-growing country Abu Dhabi hasn't benefitted from the best urban planning and the trick for Masdar was to achieve a design that reversed the car dependence of the rest of nation. While at the same time making a city that was a comfort and joy to be in in the midst of the fierce desert heat. Looking through the window of OPL's Culture and Heritage principle they drew upon centuries-old, but recently overlooked, desert construction techniques to deliver coolth and comfort through the city and its buildings.
With wind towers to flush heat out of the atmosphere, the ambient temperature will be a balmy 20 degrees lower than in Abu Dhabi city. I could go on and on, as the wealth of fascinating speakers filled the session with invaluable insights of how One Planet Living could deliver sustainable yet increasingly profitable business opportunities in wildly varying geographic locations around the world. The OPL gauntlet is there to be picked up by business everywhere.

They look great and fit really well. The carpet quality meets expectations, could be even higher. The edging is just sewn with one stitch line and not bound, but seems fine so far. We like them a lot and could not find anything better. The only complaint is that the embroidered emblem, which looks terrific, is in the middle. It needs to be an inch or so farther towards the seat side of the mat so I don't step on it all the time. Concern is that we will wear it out faster in this location.

My First Year Farming Alpacas
In 2008, Leda Blumberg began raising alpacas on Faraway Farms, her beautiful property in Northern Westchester. Since then, her alpacas have won many awards, and she sells yarn made from their fleece at the barn store on Faraway Farms. Here, a visual diary of her reinvention.
