(OAKLAND) -- The fact the Oakland Athletics left a whopping 14 men on base today against the Detroit Tigers doesn't tell the entire story of their 5-4 loss to the visitors from the Midwest. It was the way it happened too many times that really tells the facts of the day.
Three different times, the A's put multiple runners on base with no one out and failed to score. Three times. It was that ugly, on a day when the Tigers starter, Rick Porcello, walked six men and hit another batter in less than six innings. Overall, Oakland drew nine walks and registered nine hits, but they could only score two runs until a late rally in the ninth put the winning run on first base.
But a 2-for-14 effort with runners in scoring position eventually doomed the A's to another close loss, something they have struggled with this season: overall, Oakland is a mere 11-15 in games decided by two runs or less. That'll have to get better as the year progresses to crunch time.
With one third of the schedule now gone, the A's sit atop the American League West with a 32-22 record and two-game lead on the Los Angeles Angels. The Oakland run differential sits at +100 even, and no other team in the majors is even at +50 this season so far.
Losing a lot of close games keeps that number high, of course, while keeping the win total artificially low. And today, well ... it was just unsightly at times.
- In the second inning, the A's loaded the bases with nobody out, but Eric Sogard hit into a double play (1-2-3) before Coco Crisp grounded out to end the threat;
- In the fifth inning, Oakland started the frame with two singles, but the heart of the lineup failed to do anything with it as Josh Donaldson struck out, Brandon Moss fouled out, and Yoenis Cespedes flied out after just missing a home run on a liner to left that was slightly foul;
- In the seventh inning, the A's got two walks to start the inning, but Cespedes struck out, Alberto Callaspo grounded out, and Josh Reddick popped out.
Those were the lowlights. But trailing 5-2 in the ninth, as noted, Oakland did get the winning run on base before Jed Lowrie grounded out to end the game -- with two more runners on base.
A's starter Jesse Chavez was off from the start, loading the bases in the first inning with one out. But he persevered through six mostly-choppy innings, leaving with just a 3-2 deficit at the time and still keeping the Oakland offense within reach.
However, other than Nick Punto's surprise, two-run home run in the fourth, the A's hitters never made Porcello pay for his suckitude, and that was the game in a nutshell. It's pretty bad when the opposing pitcher walks more batters than innings pitched while striking out fewer batters than he walks -- and still beats you.
Now Oakland must right itself from this recent decent that includes six losses in the last eight contests. With the Angels coming to town for a three-game set starting Friday night, the A's face a big swing weekend: they sweep, the division lead could be very big, and if they get swept, the division lead will be gone.

PSGML defines major modes called
sgml-mode and
Files with extensions `.sgml', `.sgm' or `.dtd' will
automatically be edited in SGML mode. To edit some other file in SGML
mode, type M-x sgml-mode RET after finding the file.
To edit XML files, type M-x xml-mode RET.
If you can modify the file you can add a Local Variables list (see section `Local Variables in Files' in The Emacs Editor) to the end of the file. This can make Emacs automatically set sgml mode and user options when the file is loaded. The simplest Local Variables list would look like:
<!-- Local Variables: mode: sgml End: -->
You can also put a line at the top of the file to tell emacs to use sgml mode:
<!-- -*- sgml -*- -->
For XML replace `sgml' with `xml' in the above examples. But remember that you can't have a comment before the SGML declaration or the XML declaration.

|Is retrieval-induced forgetting behind the bilingual disadvantage in word production?
|Elin Runnqvist
|Universitat de Barcelona

|Universitat Pompeu Fabra
|Linguistic Field:
|Language Acquisition; Psycholinguistics
|Levy, Mc Veigh, Marful and Andreson (2007) found that naming pictures in L2 impaired subsequent recall of the L1 translation words. This was interpreted as evidence for a domain-general inhibitory mechanism (RIF) underlying first language attrition. Because this result is at odds with some previous findings and theoretical assumptions, we wanted to assess its reliability and replicate the experiment with various groups. Participants were first shown drawings along with their labels in the non-dominant language. Afterwards, they named 75% of these drawings in their first language or in their non-dominant language. Finally, participants' memory of all L1 words was tested through the presentation of a rhyme-cue. Recall of L1 words was better after naming pictures in the non-dominant language compared to when the picture was not named at all. This result suggests that speaking a second language protects rather than harms the memory of our first language.

Top Teachers: Stephen Worfolk
Jackson Davis E.S., third grade
Stephen Worfolk happened upon his career calling on a basketball court, while coaching a team at St. Mary's Church.
"Even though we lost a lot of games my first year, I truly enjoyed teaching the kids how to play," he said. "It was then I realized I would like to try my hand at teaching."
Although he now "coaches" a classroom full of third-graders at Jackson Davis E.S., the challenges are similar in some respects.
"A large group of students come to you each year on different levels academically, emotionally and physically," he said. "Trying to meet each student's needs and creating a classroom environment where each can grow can be very challenging."
Sometimes the students, like his basketball players, need physical help and encouragement. In September, for instance, when training begins for the mile or half-mile running test in P.E., many can barely run a lap around the track. But Worfolk makes sure that the students exercise each day and run a mile at least three times a week.
Worfolk notes that one of his favorite days of the school year is the spring running test, when students who ran with difficulty in September find they can now go the distance without stopping. "It's incredibly rewarding," said Worfolk. "It is so neat to see students get excited about conquering a challenge they might have hated in the beginning of the year."
A parent who observed this transformation comments, "Some kids never have – and may never again have – the opportunity or the encouragement that he provides. The physical progress for many of the kids is very inspirational."
Parents also admire Worfolk's "relentless" energy and concern for his students, and note that while strict, "he has a huge heart."
To his students' delight, he makes a point of attending their extracurricular activities and sports throughout the year. And to the delight of parents, he compiles an end-of-year show featuring photos from extracurricular events as well as from in-school activities.
Worfolk's interest in the children as individuals, say parents, has a tremendous effect on students' motivation and enthusiasm when it comes to school.
When it comes to enthusiasm for his students and for his colleagues, it's hard to match Worfolk, as well.
One of his more rewarding teaching experiences involved a student who came into his class reading far below grade level.
Worfolk said the student was "incredibly hard-working," but required help from many teachers beside himself due to being so far behind.
"I was proud to be a part," he said, "of this amazing group of teachers . . . who helped this student with her reading to the point where she could read proudly to the rest of the class."

ZF-10332: Zend_View_Helper_FormLabel $attribs screwed up for $id
When trying to call formLabel($name, $value = null, array $attribs = array()) with $attribs = array( 'id' => 'someid', 'class' => 'optional', )
_getinfo() builds $info AND makes available a limited attribs array: $info['attribs'] = array( 'class' => 'optional', )
extract($info) overwrites effectively the $attribs array and thus removes the 'id' index. $this->_htmlAttribs($attribs) then causes id to be never set...
... effectively making the following code useless: $this->form->getElement('otherpets')->getDecorator('Label')->setOption('id', 'someid'); echo $this->form->getElement('otherpets')->renderLabel();
renders: Andere instead of Andere
In my opinion the passed 'id' should not be used for referring to other elements, but to have the attribute. Thus $attribs should contain a 'for' key when passed to the view helper AND the viewhelper should use $attribs['for'] for building the for attribute and NOT discard the $attribs['id'] key in the _getinfo()+extract()

When Country started writing his trilogy (series of 3 books), he didn't write them like history books by just stating facts of events, but he added his personal thoughts. He opened the windows of his soul to his audience (his mind, will and emotions). So many bilker book authors write their stories as if they were part of an encyclopedia. They write facts without personal passion and sensation.
The things that make Country's books such 'page turners' is the way he shares the factual happenings along with explaining the anger, surprise, or shame, he actually felt while going through his adventures. He unashamedly opened his soul to his readers. This is very rare where outlaw biker books are concerned.
Don't forget, you'll find the trilogy of Evolution of an Outlaw Biker at Amazon.com and Nook.com.
Back in '63 I bought a bike in Little Rock, went to an Army/Navy surplus and got a sea bag and headed down Route 66 West. There were no freeways then and I broke down outside of Elk City, OK, which was very small back then. I had broken a chain and had no half link or master link with me. It was Saturday and absolutely nothing opened on Sunday back then. The closest place to buy the motorcycle parts I needed was Oklahoma City and Monday was Labor Day – I was really in a dilemma.
I had coasted under the only tree in sight (Mesquite of course). I leaned Sweet Darlin' against a small bank with her chain off. Then I laid down that night, trying to figure what to do. Nothing came to mind. I couldn't leave my bike; I had to wait 3 days even for anything to open and to top that off, Oklahoma City was a long ways away. My mind was just going around in circles.
Crossing route 66 back then was not a trip, it was an adventure. It was desolate stretches and if you found something it couldn't be bought because it was reserved for the locals.
The next morning, Sunday, I was awakened by a pickup pulling off the road by me. Those days an hour or 2 would go by without traffic. An old man got out dressed in a cheap suit. I could tell he was a rancher or farmer going to church. I wasn't in any mood for rubberneckers.
He said "Well, looks like you're broke down!" while eyeballing the chain on my bike.
"Yeah, yeah, it don't take much to figure that out does it?" I retorted; not too friendly. He just laughed, got back in his truck, waved and left. I sat there feeling sorry for myself and getting awful hungry.
A couple of hours later here he came again going back in the other direction (I guessed going home from Church), and sure enough he stopped. "Well you're still here" he said with that laugh again.
Now I'm starting to get ticked. I didn't even answer him. I was rude as hell I know but I felt I was being goofed on.
Still laughing he got in his old truck and went on down the road.
Finally it soaked into my head that I was going to have to leave my bike and hitchhike to Calif. I was standing up getting ready to load my bag and start thumbing a ride when you guessed it; here came that damn farmer again. This was too much!
Yep he pulled over and got out. "Still here I see . . ." he said with that stupid smirk again.
I opened my mouth to cuss him thinking I would feel better, but before I could speak, he pulled something out of the bib of the overalls he had changed into and pitched me a couple of half links and master links the exact size I needed.
Well now my emotions went all over the board. Excitement – relief – happiness – and finally . . . shame because of the way I had acted. I apologized and asked where he got the parts. He said they were the same size he used on his combine.
I checked to make sure he wasn't wearing wings . . . put off the urge to hug the old fart and as he was driving off I began fixing my scoot and thinking 'there must be a God'.
Evolution of an Outlaw Biker can be purchased at Amazon.com and Nook.com.

caramelized shallots
Now, I think we already know that caramelized onions are the bees' knees but these are even more spectacular and that is because of the vinegar that is glugged in, which gives it a slight tang raising the sweet-salty butteriness to a "I will never eat anything else for the rest of my life" experience. And yes, there is a good bit of butter in this dish, enough that when I made it the first time a few years ago I skimped on it, the shallots stuck to the bottom of that pan and I was consumed with regret. Not this time, though. Rest assured that almost all of the butter stays in the baking dish, and does not cling to the shallots–and us, one hopes–in more than a barely-there layer.
But here is where I need to beg, no implore you to DO NOT DO what I did (and would have regretted had I a place in my psyche that was capable of feeling remorse over butter) which is to dip a single tine of your fork, or to even consider such an action, into that tangy buttery puddle in the bottom of the pan. This is a highly inadvisable action, as it will set off a trance-like reaction in which one must dip again, and again and instantly mute all thoughts of But This is Tremendously Unhealthy. Your safest bet is not to do this at all, even once.
And yes, I know that means it is exactly what you will now do, and I'm sorry. But you can't say that I didn't warn you.
Make Me Keep This Promise: My next post will be about Passover dessert recipes. I have so many in mind, it would unfair not to reel them off to you and try out at least one before this weekend. For those of you who don't celebrate Passover, fear not, these desserts are worthy of a year-round repertoire.
One Year Ago: The Tart Marg
Caramelized Shallots
Adapted from Ina Garten
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 pounds fresh shallots, peeled, with roots intact
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons good red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a 12-inch ovenproof* saute pan, add the shallots and sugar, and toss to coat. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the shallots start to brown. Add the vinegar, salt, and pepper and toss well.
Place the saute pan in the oven and roast for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the shallots, until they are tender. Season, to taste, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.
* If yours, like mine, is not ovenproof, it works to start this dish in your frying pan then scrape the shallots and sauce into a baking dish when it's ready to go in the oven.

Sometimes, you can travel to a place that helps lend a sun-kissed glow and sometimes, you can't. Many people have to avoid the sun altogether, in whatever climate they find themselves. And yet, who wants to wear pantyhose when it's hot out? Who doesn't crave the look of luxurious lolling in the rays?
It's easy to mimic the look wherever you are with Jane Iredale Golden Shimmer. I was happy to be hosted to experience it! Jane Iredale is a luxe mineral makeup line that can be found at the most exclusive spas, plastic surgeon's offices, boutiques.
It's a face and body lotion -- now you don't have to pack two while traveling -- that's sized perfectly for 3-1-1 carry-on travel bags. It's a handy tube that lends a glamorous sheen, not a teeny-bopper glitter. The color should work on a wide range of skin tones. This is what they say about it:
Golden Shimmer can be worn alone or paired with your favorite makeup. The natural formula rejuvenates and hydrates with botanical extracts, so it is gentle enough to be used on the face or body. It leaves skin soft and hydrated and may be used in conjunction with a self tanner, like Tantasia, to safely build a shimmering, bronzed look. Safety tested, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and dermatologist tested.
Use it as a great summer highlighter all over. They suggest using either your fingertip or a brush. I would also suggest the tip of a makeup sponge. Think about your cheekbones, tip of your nose, tip of your chin, for photographs. Also, it makes a great highlighter for your hands, especially if you're showing off new rings.

"Use of galactogogues in initiating or augmenting the rate of maternal milk secretion." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
This guideline updates a previous version: Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. Use of galactogogues in initiating or augmenting maternal milk supply. New Rochelle (NY): Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine; 2004 Jul 30. 5 p.
Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM) protocols expire five years from the date of publication. Evidence-based revisions are made within 5 years or sooner if there are significant changes in the evidence.
Maternal milk production
Women experiencing difficulties with a low rate of milk production
An initial search of relevant published articles written in English in the past 20 years in the fields of medicine, psychiatry, psychology, and basic biological science is undertaken for a particular topic. Once the articles are gathered, the papers are evaluated for scientific accuracy and significance. For the 2010 update, searches were performed that included August 2009 through December 2010, in order to add articles written from 2004-2010.
The databases searched included: Medline, Cochrane Database/Libraries, ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source and Web of Science. The search terms included: breastfeeding, breast-feeding, breast feeding, milk supply, milk production, milk synthesis, galactagogues, galactogogues, metoclopramide, domperidone, fenugreek, milk-thistle, blessed thistle, growth hormone, TSH, breast pump, oxytocin, prolactin, skin-to-skin.
Not stated
Levels of Evidence
I Evidence obtained from at least one properly randomized controlled trial.
II-1 Evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization.
II-2 Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies, preferably from more than one center or research group.
II-3 Evidence obtained from multiple time series with or without the intervention. Dramatic results in uncontrolled experiments (such as the results of the introduction of penicillin treatment in the 1940s) could also be regarded as this type of evidence.
III Opinions of respected authorities, based on clinical experience, descriptive studies and case reports; or reports of expert committees.
An expert panel is identified and appointed to develop a draft protocol using evidence based methodology. An annotated bibliography (literature review), including salient gaps in the literature, are submitted by the expert panel to the Protocol Committee.
Not applicable
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
The draft protocol is peer reviewed by individuals outside of contributing author/expert panel, including specific review for international applicability. The Protocol Committee's sub-group of international experts recommends appropriate international reviewers. The Chair and/or protocol resource person institutes and facilitates this process. Reviews are submitted to the committee Chair and resource person.
The contributing author/expert panel and/or designated members of protocol committee work to amend the protocol as needed.
The draft protocol is submitted to the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM) Board for review and approval. Comments for revision will be accepted for three weeks following submission. The Chair, resource person and protocol contributor(s) amend the protocol as needed.
Following all revisions, the protocol has the final review by original contributor(s) to make final suggestions and ascertain whether to maintain contributing authorship.
The final protocol is submitted to the Board of Directors of ABM for approval. A two-thirds majority of Board members' positive vote is required for final approval.
Practice Recommendations
The following recommendations, based upon current evidence, apply to women experiencing difficulties with a low rate of milk production (e.g., the baby is not gaining weight normally or supplementation is being used because of low milk production, during either the initiation or maintenance of milk supply).
Specific information about individual drugs and herbs is summarized at the end of these recommendations in the Appendix in the original guideline document.
None provided
The type of evidence supporting the recommendations is stated for selected recommendations (see the "Major Recommendations" field).
The recommendations were based primarily on a comprehensive review of the existing literature. In cases where the literature does not appear conclusive, recommendations were based on the consensus opinion of the group of experts.
Appropriate use of galactogogues for initiating or augmenting maternal milk supply
Adverse effects of galactogogues. See the Appendix of the original guideline document regarding details of specific galactogogues.
A central goal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is the development of clinical protocols for managing common medical problems that may impact breastfeeding success. These protocols serve only as guidelines for the care of breastfeeding mothers and infants and do not delineate an exclusive course of treatment or serve as standards of medical care. Variations in treatment may be appropriate according to the needs of an individual patient. These guidelines are not intended to be all-inclusive, but to provide a basic framework for physician education regarding breastfeeding.
An implementation strategy was not provided.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.

The owner, James Crane, requested in court documents yesterday that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Thomas Bennett cancel an order requiring him to answer questions about the settled lawsuit against JPMorgan related to $35 million in Jefferson County sewer warrants he'd purchased.
Jefferson County attorneys asked Bennett approve a request to question Crane about the legal settlement and to examine documents related to the case lawsuit.
In court documents, Crane's lawyers said "it is harassing and unduly burdensome to require Crane to appear and testify," according to the Bloomberg News report.
Bennett earlier approved a request by Jefferson County attorneys to view documents in the Texas case.

From now through October 26th, Paradise Ridge Winery is teaming up with Rosticceria + Eventi to bring wine tasters a pairing experience like no other. Pizza in Paradise features a flight of four Paradise Ridge Winery wines and four styles of fresh, hand-crafted, wood-fired pizzas from Rosticceria + Eventi. With that being said, Pizza in Paradise is not just about the pizza and wine—though this is surely an integral part. Equally as important though, is the fact that guests enjoy Pizza in Paradise from the Paradise Ridge Winery deck—sitting beneath an enormous live Oak tree while taking in stunning, panoramic views of Sonoma County. The entire experience, from the pizza to the wine to the scenic views, is breathtaking.
Upon arrival, guests are seated beneath the beautiful live Oak tree, which provides ample amount of shade on hot, sunny days. The tasting room staff discusses the Pizza in Paradise experience and details the local, artisanal ingredients used in the wood-fired pizzas. As the tasting room staff prepares guests for their tasting experience, Executive Chef John Franchetti and Chef Chris Proffitt prepare the pizza at the wood-fire oven, just below the deck. Guests can see the pizza being handmade, then placed into the Italian imported wood-fire oven.
When the pizza arrives, it is clear that Franchetti and Proffitt have mastered the art of wood-fired pizzas. The crust is perfectly crisp, the cheese is completely melted, and the toppings are touched by the flames just enough to give the tips their golden edges. Each pizza begins with homemade pizza dough, a margherita base made from vine-ripened tomatoes, Rosso mozzarella—handcrafted from specialty sourced curds—locally made extra virgin olive oil, and fresh basil. Once this foundation is in place, Franchetti and Proffitt create two slices of four individual styles with various toppings; each style is paired with a wine from the Paradise Ridge Winery collection—of which Dan Barwick is the winemaker.
Just like any other tasting, the white wines are poured first. The 2013 Estate Sauvignon Blanc from the Grandview Vineyard is paired with the Sicilian lemon oil slices. The Sicilian lemon oil is combined with seasonal, fresh herbs for a delicate yet flavorful pairing with the crisp Sauvignon Blanc. The Sauvignon Blanc immediately becomes more complex with a burst of flavor in the mouth as the wine and pizza interact; it is the lemon oil that truly makes this pairing pop on the palate. The lovely lemon oil brightens the citrus notes in the wine, while the fresh herbs contrast that citrus by enlivening minerality and grassiness. This pleasant juxtaposition of flavors is only enhanced by the way the weight of the olive oil gives body to the wine. Consequently, the bright acidity is lessened and rounded out so that the wine finishes full and juicy on the tongue.
The 2012 Estate Chardonnay from the Nagasawa Vineyard is perfectly suited for its partner—the house made porchetta, which is pork roast cured with salt, pepper, fennel, sage, garlic, and wine. After being cured, the pork roast is then slow-cooked on a rotisserie. Porchetta originates just outside of Rome in a town called Marino and its richness couldn't be any more appropriate for this Chardonnay which has undergone malolactic conversion and barrel aging in 100% new French oak. The buttery notes are subtle, the mouthfeel is full, and the fruit is full of bright green apple and lemon meringue. When paired with the house made porchetta, the tart green apple flavors become softer and more elegant. Texturally, the excellent acidity of the wine—which is balanced out by its silky mouthfeel—works perfectly with the salty, rich porchetta. As a whole, this pairing possesses a very round mouthfeel, though still maintains enough of a balance between salt and acid to creates sparks on the taste buds. In this pairing, it is clear that the contrasting elements complement each other very nicely.
The 2012 Estate Pinot Noir from Walter's Vineyard is paired with the glorious black pig bacon from Zazu Kitchen and Farm, which is located in Sebastopol on the west side of Sonoma County. The black pig bacon comes form a heritage breed of pig that is raised free range without antibiotics or hormomes. The meat is dry cured with brown sugar for up to twenty-one days and then apple wood smoked for twelve hours. The delicious flavors of the black pig bacon—in conjunction with mushrooms, black pepper, and white truffle oil—couldn't be any better suited to the complexity of the 2012 Estate Pinot Noir from Walter's Vineyard.
On its own, this Pinot Noir possesses notes of earth, dark cranberry, and orange zest. The body is light and the tannins are balanced. When sipped with a bite of the black pig bacon slice, the flavors of the mushrooms and truffle oil enhance the earthiness and body of the wine—making the Pinot a richer, more luscious experience. The way the salty, richness of the black pig bacon interacts with the wine is beautiful—bringing more complexity to the flavors and spice on the palate.
The 2012 Rockpile Posse from the Branham Vineyard is a blend of mostly Petite Sirah with Syrah and Zinfandel. This powerful wine is earthy, spicy, and full of blueberry fruit. The gripping tannins contrast the full body of the wine nicely. When paired with the Palacios chorizo—an all natural, dry curated Spanish pork sausage that has been seasoned with smoked sweet paprika—the saltiness cuts through the full body and tannins, then mellows the intensity of the wine in a way that complements the flavors of the pizza perfectly. Additionally, the smokiness of the chorizo influences the wine and really brings forward nice flavors of smoke and earth on the palate.
Clearly, Pizza in Paradise is an all encompassing tasting experience. From the crisp Sauvignon Blanc to the silky Chardonnay, guests are able to enjoy the differentiation of pairings between the two white wines and learn a thing or two about the way different flavors and textures of wine interact with food. With the Pinot Noir and the Petite Sirah dominated red blend, guests get to experience two completely different red wines and discover how both styles work exceptionally well with different styles of pork—proving just how versatile wine can be when it comes to achieving great flavor and texture combinations between wine and food.
Pizza in Paradise is exclusively offered at Paradise Ridge Winery on Wednesdays – Sunday from 11am–3pm. To experience all that Pizza in Paradise has to offer, contact Paradise Ridge Winery directly at 707-528-9463, or visit their website for more details.

Renée Fleming sings one of her signature roles, the title character in Dvořák's sumptuously melodic Rusalka, on Great Performances at the Met Sunday, May 18 at 12 noon on PBS (check local listings). (In New York, THIRTEEN will air the opera Friday, May 30 at 9 p.m.)
The story of the opera, which is about a water spirit's tragic romance with a human prince, is drawn from several folktale sources including Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid."
Star conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads a cast that also includes Piotr Beczala as the handsome Prince whom Rusalka yearns to love; Dolora Zajick as the cackling swamp witch Ježibaba; Emily Magee as the Foreign Princess, Rusalka's rival; and John Relyea as Rusalka's father, the Water Sprite.
Fleming won the Met's National Council Auditions 25 years ago singing the forlorn mermaid's famous aria "Song to the Moon" and has sung the role of Rusalka more than any other artist in Met history.
"Portraying a water nymph who gives up a life of enchantment to pursue mortal love with a handsome prince, Ms. Fleming sang with tonal splendor and commendable ease," enthused The New York Times.
Mezzo-soprano Susan Graham hosts the broadcast.
Rusalka was originally seen live in movie theaters on February 8 as part of the groundbreaking The Met: Live in HD series, which transmits live performances to more than 2,000 movie theaters and performing arts centers in 66 countries around the world.

Doctor's Appointment
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
I had my annual physical this morning I didn't anticipate it going very well since my Hgb A1C has risen to 10.3 and cholesterol to 105.
I have the most amazing doctor - we worked together on what might be the cause of my high morning blood sugars. His theory is that I may be going way too low and my liver is compensating my throwing more sugar. He suggested that I wear a permanent CGM (continuous glucose monitor) which will show when I am going hypoglycemic. I wore one for 3 days a couple of years ago and it was eye opening. My blood sugar bottoms out during the early morning hours then spikes before dawn (also known as the dawning effect). He also said I may one of those people where Lantus isn't lasting the full 24 hours and that I may be needing less Lantus in the evening and adding a NPH insulin in the morning. I'm all for anything that will lessen the stress of high morning blood sugars and Hgb A1C over 7%. Overall, after my appointment I'm feeling motivated to keep going. He wasn't too concerned about my cholesterol being a little high. He feels that once that diabetes is under control the cholesterol will follow suit.
I feel that part of my high blood sugars is due to my period lasting 2 weeks for the past 5 months. Each month, the pain has been getting worse. This month, I felt like I was back in high school with the pain and nausea. I have a pelvic ultrasound tomorrow afternoon and see Dr. Carlyle following the ultrasound. He will then decide which is a better route to go - endometrial ablation or hysterectomy. Been doing some reading on both the ablation and hysterectomy. The ablation may need to be repeated more than once and some other organs can easily be damaged in the process. Although the hysterectomy is more invasive, our hospital has the da vinci surgery system which can do a hysterectomy with only 7 small incisions. If I have a choice, I think I will choose the hysterectomy over the ablation - but tomorrow I should know more.
After I finish a few orders, Kira and I need to walk. We'll probably only do 1.5 miles today instead of 2 miles.

I do hope that the monitor works in detecting what is actually happening to you. Both my grandmother and father had type 2 diabetes. I know how hard it is especially if you like sweets like both my DG & DF.
Wow, periods lasting two weeks. I want to snap when some of mine (since 9yo) last 7-8 days. My norm was 6-7, that extra day would be mentally tiring. I just wanted it to end.
Are you going through peri menopause? I believe I am. I bit early than the normal age but then again I got my menstrual at a young age too.
take care, Anne

School of Education
About the school
From its inception, UCI has contributed to the vitality of Orange County by offering access to educational resources and enhancing the achievement of diverse students. In recognition of this commitment to learning, UCI established the Office of Teacher Education in 1971. For 20 years, the unit focused on professional preparation and high-quality training for teachers and administrators. The office later grew to the Department of Education, emphasizing research and graduate study education; and in 2012, UCI's School of Education was established by the UC Regents.
The school offers a minor in educational studies, a B.A. in education sciences, a 4-year STEM degree plus teacher credential (in collaboration with the schools of Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences), an M.A. in teaching and a Ph.D. in education. The doctoral program provides students with core knowledge of requisite educational theory and research while allowing them to focus on one or more areas of specialization: learning, cognition and development; educational policy and social context; and language, literacy and technology.
The School of Education is committed to promoting educational success and achievement of ethnically and economically diverse learners of all ages through research, teaching and service.
The UCI CalTeach program, sponsored by the Ayala School of Biological Sciences, the School of Physical Sciences and the School of Education, recruits talented undergraduate math and science majors to prepare for teaching careers. The program enables undergraduates to earn a STEM degree plus a California teaching credential, both in four years. Undergraduates who participate in the program gain experience in inquiry-based science and mathematics teaching through hands-on fieldwork in elementary, middle and high school classrooms.
UCI's Master of Arts in Teaching/teacher credential program, the largest in the University of California system, produces approximately 225 single- and multiple-subject preliminary credential recipients each year. The teacher-preparation program combines classroom instruction with research and service opportunities. Additionally, a professional administrative services credential program is offered through UCI Extension.
The school's service mission is carried out through community-based programs both inside and outside the classroom. As a natural outgrowth of its credential and degree programs, the school seeks to foster the professional development of local educators and improve K-12 schools. A prime example is the UCI Writing Project, a research-based program that provides in-service opportunities for more than 3,000 teachers in Orange County and the greater Los Angeles area each year. Since 1978, the project has helped more than 8,000 educators improve their writing abilities and techniques for teaching writing to their students.
The School of Education partners with multiple community organizations and schools to offer professional development, evaluation services, research opportunities, and faculty and student volunteers. Partners include schools in 28 regional school districts, St. Margaret's Episcopal School, THINK Together, Girls Inc., the UCI Child Development Center and the Tiger Woods Learning Center. Since 2013 the school has provided faculty expertise, teachers and student volunteers to The Academy Charter High School of Santa Ana.
Mark Warschauer, Interim Dean
Mark Warschauer is interim dean of the School of Education. Warschauer joined UCI in 2001 and has served as a professor of education and informatics, associate dean of the school and director of the Digital Learning Lab. His research focuses on the application of digital information and communication technologies to higher-level literacy and second language acquisition by children and adults. He has directed education technology programs in Egypt, worked as a Fulbright scholar to help reform teacher education in the Czech Republic, served as a curriculum specialist at Moscow State Linguistic University, worked as a visiting scholar at Waseda University in Tokyo, and conducted field research in China, Singapore, Brazil, Mexico and India.

Artist: Bob Dylan
Album: Street-Legal
Genre: Rock
In death you face life with a child and a wife
Who sleep walks through your dreams into walls
You're a soldier of mercy and you're cold and you curse
"He who cannot be trusted must fall"
Loneliness, tenderness, high society, notoriety
You fight for the throne and you travel alone
Unknown as you slowly sink
And there's no time to think
In the federal city you've been blown and shown pity
But in secret, for pieces of change
The empress attracts you but oppression distracts you
It makes you feel violent and strange
Memory, ecstasy, tyranny, hypocrisy
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss
In the valley of the missing link
And you have no time to think
Judges will haunt you, the country priestess will want you
Her worst is better than best
I've seen all these decoys through a set of deep turquoise eyes
And I feel so depressed
China doll, alcohol, duality, mortality
Mercury rules you and destiny fools you
Like the plague, with a dangerous wink
And there's no time to think
Your conscience betrayed you, when some tyrant waylaid you
Where lion lies down with the lamb
I'd paid the traitor and killed him much later
But that's just the way that I am
Paradise, sacrifice, mortality, reality
But the magician is quicker and his game
Is much thicker, than blood and blacker than ink
And there's no time to think
Varmint and jealousy's all that he sells us
He's content when you're under his thumb
Madmen oppose him, your kindness throws him
To survive it you play deaf and dumb
Equality, liberty, humility, simplicity
You glance through the mirror and there's eyes staring clear
At the back of your head as you drink
And there's no time to think
Warlords of sorrow and queens of tomorrow
Will offer their heads for a prayer
You can't find no salvation, have no expectations
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
Mercury, gravity, nobility, humility
You know you can't keep her and the water gets deeper
That is leading you onto the brink
But there's no time to think
You've murdered your vanity, buried your sanity
For pleasure you must now resist
Lovers obey you but they cannot sway you
They're not even sure you exist
Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism
Fools making laws for the breaking of jaws
And the sound of the keys as they clink
But there's no time to think
The bridge that you travel on goes to the Babylon girl
With the rose in her hair
Starlight in the east, you're finally released
You're stranded with nothing to share
Loyalty, unity, epitome, rigidity
You turn around for one real last glimpse of Camille
'Neath the moon shinin' bloody and pink
And there's no time to think
Bullets can harm you and death can disarm you
But no, you will not be deceived
Stripped of all virtue as you crawl through the dirt
You can give but you cannot receive
No time to choose when the truth must die
No time to lose or say goodbye
No time to prepare for the victim that's there
No time to suffer or blink and no time to think

I need help setting up the equation for the question, "Find all right triangles for which the perimeter is $24$ units and the area is $24$ square units."
I know that the area is $A = \frac12 b h$ and perimeter is $P = a + b + h$.
Using this, would the system look something like?
$a + b + c = 24$
$\frac12b c = 24$
(I'm using $c$ for consistency)
Then continue on using substitution?

The younger maids gathered around Miriam, ready for a story. The older maid sat back in her wooden chair, a thoughtful look on her face, and began to recount a story she heard from her years in the dungeons:
"It was a dingy night and I was aiding this older gentleman - a dwarf I believe - with a nasty cough. After I recited my enchantments, I saw a very peculiar scar on his arm. I inquired about this scar and he gave me this very grave look. He scratched his beard and said, 'This was the bite of a demon.' His voice became more sullen and grim as he continued. 'I was out late, late one night on my way home through the forest. Despite the full moon, it wasn't even that bright and there was no stars so I soon lost my way. The the forest fell cold, dark, and quiet. I wandered for what felt like hours. Then a redish fog rolled in. There were cackles and shrieks from every which way. I pulled my knife out and called, 'Who's there?' But there was no answer. I started running, trying to get out of the haze but it felt like I wasn't going anywhere. Then suddenly, something grabbed my leg! I fell and a searing pain shot through my arm as I saw the maul of this hideous black grotesque creature gnawing on my arm. I ripped my arm from its bloody teeth and stabbed the monster with my knife. It let out a shrieking howl like I had never heard before. I ran as fast as I could. I saw a lantern off in the distance and bolted for it. Fate was on my side that night for it was my wife holding the lantern just outside the forest so that I could come home. I never went back into the forest on a full moon or without a working lantern ever again.' He gave me this odd look in his eye and then finally added, 'You never know what awaits in the fog.' "

Mom bites off a pit bull's dog ear to save her daughter in a brave move, and now that act is receiving attention. This brave mother did what she had to do to keep her daughter from being mauled to death by a dog she was looking after for a friend. On April 23, New York Daily News reported on the incident and the recovery by mother and daughter in Texas.
When did this brave move happen? A month ago, Chelsi Camp was dog sitting her friend's pit bull. The dog was friendly with no history of incidents in its past. The dog came up to her daughter, who is two-years old, and sniffed at her like most dogs do when they meet someone new. However, things quickly went wrong when the dog attacked. Camp feels like the dog might have sniffed their dog on her daughter.
When the pit attacked, she went into action. She bit the dog's ear, punched it in the mouth and called 911. The police showed, and the officer on scene shot the dog. It was later put down. A month later, Camp is back at work, and her daughter is still recovering. She has scars, but her stitches are set to be removed soon. Camp calls her young daughter a 'fighter' following the incident. She was not able to hold her daughter for a week after the attack because of her own injuries.
Camp has not let this soured her on dogs. She still loves all dogs. This story just shows that it is always best to keep an eye on any new dogs that might come in contact with your children. One moment can change everything. What do you think of this act of bravery by this Texas mother?

This is PART 2 to my blog at
which I see hardly anyone has read, because it seems like the Tea Party movement has been coming absolutely unglued over this issue. It's like most of our people have blinders on, and don't even want to see the vast body of evidential truth that Gingrich is a big government Progressive and can't possibly win against Obama.
Most in our movement seem to think that anyone can win against Obama, even our dog, ( oh, except for that "crazy" Ron Paul ) but that's not true. While your dog actually might win against Obama, at this point, either Romney or Gingrich cannot, and for very good reasons.
If a GOP candidate is pretty close to being like Obama, they will not win, because of that old saying that "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know", and Obama is the devil that most people know right now. And the facts are out, people, Romney and Gingrich are both pretty much big government Progressives, not all that different from Obama. Not enough to differentiate themselves and win!
Not to mention the fact that if we stay with the big government model, this nation is gone!
Romney has been sunk for weeks now and is taking a dive in the polls, leaving Gingrich, but that has been scaring the living heck out of those who know a hoot about Gingrich, and for very good reasons. A broad spectrum of them have been exposing Gingrich's past and his policies for over a week now, yet the majority in the Tea Party movement just keep those blinders on, because they think that "Gingrich is the only one who can beat Obama". But if that was really true, we're in deeper trouble than you've even realized, people!
Glenn Beck has literally been taking Gingrich apart this past week, yet the majority in the Tea Party movement have turned a deaf ear and a blind eye, and kept those blinders on. But if you don't wake up soon, Gingrich will be coronated the GOP nominee, all the big government Progressive Republicans will celebrate with joy ( Including, I think, the majority at Fox News now! ) and he will proceed to lose to Obama!
It will be exactly like running John McCain, another big government Progressive, against Obama!
For those of you who missed GBTV this past week, here's exactly why!:
Big one: Gingrich supported a health care mandate similar to "Obama Care", but for over 20 years!
A "mandate" is what over 26 states have been fighting against now, which will probably blow "Obama Care" up in the Supreme Court before the next election - something that has never been done before in U.S. history, and which is unconstitutional - forcing Americans to buy something just because they are Americans! Nowhere in our Constitution is the government given the power to do that! Nowhere!
Romney has been heavily criticized for Romney Care but even that wasn't in place for as long as Gingrich has been advocating a health care mandate!
Then there's this: We all know that there have been four Presidents in the 20th century that were the most big government Progressive socialists. Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Jimmy Carter. For those who missed it, Glenn Beck has exposed Teddy Roosevelt as a Progressive, beyond any possible doubt, including this and much much more:
First, Beck and his guests posed the question of who they would think was the greatest President of the 20th century. All of them said Reagan, as most conservatives would surely do. But then they played some video footage from Gingrich!
Showing his Progressive colors, Gingrich said:
"No one is FDR. FDR is the greatest practitioner of self government, certainly in the 20th century, and maybe in American history. And FDR as Governor of New York, in good times, was very Progressive.
Self government?! Seriously?!
"The greatest politician of the 20th century in this country - Franklin Delano Roosevelt!"
Oh, and for us women, it seems that Gingrich said that women shouldn't be in combat, "because they get infections once a month"!
I'm sure that will ingratiate all this country's women to Newt and just make us want to vote for him! It sickened me when I heard that!
And I'm sure that none of this will come out, along with the vast body of other dirt, lies, corruption and big government advocacy, when Gingrich is actually running against Obama!
There's much, much more to Gingrich's sordid story. Please read the truth at
John Ziegler, who developed that site, said on GBTV:
"It's not just that he's corrupt, Glenn, he's a whore!
No, if you choose Newt Gingrich as GOP nominee, he won't have as much of a chance against Obama, as your dog does, because your dog may lick his nether regions, but he's still cleaner than Newt Gingrich appears to be!
And all this brings to mind another point. To really have a serious chance of beating Obama, a candidate will need broad based support, not just from conservatives, but from independents and even some of the more sane liberals, and yes some like that exist. One of my sisters happens to be one, and I was one years ago myself, before finally becoming more sane and evolving to a Libertarian and eventually past that to being an Objectivist where I remain. ( the Capitalist individual rights-based philosophy of Ayn Rand )
So who in the present field has broad based enough support to actually beat Obama, and not just come close enough to where decided to people keep the "devil they know"?
Ron Paul!
My liberal sister even even likes him and says she would vote for him. I've spoken to many many independents who like him, and many many conservatives, Libertarians and Objectivists. Because the major issue of this election will be restoring America - our Constitution, our fiscal sanity and our economy, and Ron Paul is the best that there is on these issues, always has been, and has never wavered from them!
Some Tea Party leaders and many conservatives, some of whom are apparently big government Progressive types themselves, object to Ron Paul on the grounds that he advocates Jeffersonian principles when it comes to foreign policy, which is ironically part of why he appeals to many independents and even some liberals.
"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations – entangling alliances with none." - Thomas Jefferson.
So he would withdraw our troops from places like Germany and Japan, where they've been since World War II, and South Korea, and let those rich nations pay for their own defenses for a change. A large part of the reason they're rich is because they've been sapping our wealth to pay for their defenses!
America is not rich anymore, we're broke ( the truth that few but Ron Paul dare to speak! ), and we can't afford to defend half the world when they won't lift a finger to defend themselves by paying for it and having their own capable militaries.
Sidebar: There's a great essay on RKBA at http://rkba.org/comment/cowards.html which makes a point that we should extrapolate on a global scale. If someone won't lift a finger to defend themselves, why should others defend them?
With Israel, Ron Paul would follow the same Jeffersonian policy, which a lot of the more fascist ( nationalist socialist ) leaning conservatives apparently can't stand. They think we should be the world's policemen instead, but as Ron Paul keeps pointing out, we're broke, we can't do that anymore!
Will Iran get nukes? I think the most essential question is this: Do you, or do you not support the RKBA – Right to Keep And Bear Arms? Because disarming people that you fear, before they have initiated force, is called the principle of "prior restraint" and those of us who have long been in the RKBA movement fully understand how the left has used that to advocate gun control and gun bans. They fear everyone, so all the guns should be banned so that no one can possibly have one to do anything wrong with. But what about the government? If they're the only ones allowed to be armed, will they possibly do anything wrong with them? History has sure shown that they will!
It's the same argument, being used by our big government fascists, against Iran being armed. We fear them, so we must use prior restraint to keep them from having nukes. Gun control and banning, on a macro scale!
But if you support liberty, like Ron Paul does, then let people have the RKBA and if they initiate force against you, then you can defend yourself and annihilate them, and this includes Iran and Israel! Israel is perfectly capable of defending itself and I'm sure it's been made perfectly clear to the leaders of Iran, that if they attack Israel with nukes, Iran will cease to exist. That's a pretty drastic threat, which I assume the majority of Iranians who are good decent sane people would become very sober and aware at the thought of!
In fact, nuclear weapons are the very reason we haven't had a World War since they were developed – the consequences are just too horrible for the vast majority of people who are good, decent and sane, to allow. So I predict that if Iran gets nukes ( and they may have them already ) their people will not tolerate insanity in their leaders. In fact Ahmadinejad is very likely to be similar to Kruschev, when he banged his shoe on the table and said "WE WILL BURY YOU!", and the USSR was armed with nukes at that time.
He's gesturing, but he also realizes that if he does something insane, his country will cease to exist! And yes, I'm aware of what Glenn Beck has pointed out about the 12th Imam movement in Iran, but we have the "rapture" movement in this country too, and as much as some people love to believe in those aspects of religion, they still don't know, but the immediate facts are that they have their homes, loved-ones and their nations, and those things are immediate and tangible, and though "heaven" may exist, the vast majority of people don't want to lose them in a flash.
Someone on Beck's show mentioned that Paul would end our Prohibition, AKA the "War On Some Drug Users" and "even make heroin legal. Horrors! Why that was the way it was in this country, since its founding, up until the big government Progressive era. Why the original Coca Cola even had coca leaf extract as an ingredient, which gave it the distinct flavor, and it's never been more than just another cola since they removed that flavoring, though they removed the alkaloids that caused the "high" way before that. How horrible it would be if everyone could freely choose what they put in their own bodies. Why I'd go crazy and use half a dozen drugs then. ( No, not really! )
The fact is, anyone who wants to use drugs can already use them, no laws or drug wars have stopped that. That's why Prohibition didn't work! I haven't smoked pot in many years, but of I really wanted to, I could ask around and have some within hours! ( Not even bothering with the Medical Marijuana licensing that Colorado has now! )
After the 20's we realized that Prohibition never did work and repealed it, yet we continue to pursue a "War On Some Drug Users" that has cost trillions, massive numbers of lives, and now has Mexico in a state of terrorized narco anarchy. And for what? So we can tell people how they must live, while many in our nation continue to demand the products that a free market must supply, even if people must die for providing them? Is that the classical conservativism, that people should have free will and the freedom to choose their own lives? No, it's big government forced-collectivism, not expressed as the socialism of the left, but as the fascism of the right. Just various flavors of forced-collectivism. You can't tell people what drugs they may not use, without initiating force against them!
So what other arguments are there against Ron Paul? Bring them on, because they can be answered!
But the fact of the matter is that he's the only one standing who has the unwavering integrity, honesty, belief in our Constitution, small government principles, fiscal sanity, doing the painful things that it will now take to restore our country, our freedom and our economy and take the real and necessary steps that will bring us back from the abyss and create real jobs, not just government jobs and handouts!
And I have 100% confidence that he would develop a foreign policy that would follow Jeffersonian principles and would get the rest of the world to admire and respect us again, and it's about time!
Let that sink into your mind for awhile, and then please get behind him and support him and a Congress like him, because otherwise we will lose this country!
Views: 28
Congressman Paul's biggest problem is that he is totally committed to his principles, more so than getting elected. His foreign policy position IS the position of the Founders. But, his reluctance to acknowledge that radical Islam's irrational goal of destroying Israel & friends of Israel (there is only one...US) is a deal killer for many conservative (not Constitutional) voters.
The problem for us Constitutionalists is that we are not even close to a majority of the GOP, and are a relative tiny fraction of the voting population. If we wish to get one of our own elected, we must appeal to them. Dr. Paul appeals to dope smoking liberals (and anti-establishment, anti-rule types) because he would let them smoke dope and walk around naked in San Francisco without any repercussions. So now, we've got Constitutionalists + Dope Smokers + .....? This group of activists might win a caucus in Iowa, but, not a Primary and certainly not a general election.
This is the reason I was hoping that Senator Rand Paul would run instead of his dad. Rand Paul IS electable as he appeals to conservatives, libertarians, and dope smoker types. Now, this may sound like bad news, but, the good news is that the power of our form of government lies in the Congress. The least important vote one ever casts is the vote for President, yet, that is the focus. The most important vote, federally, one casts is their vote for THEIR congressman. So, know who your local Constitutional candidate for Congress is and support them!
