Early today, Yahoo! Movies released a new behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming movie, The Fault in Our Stars. Stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort (who both recently starred in Divergent) sat down to talk with Yahoo! along with author of the book John Green.
They talked about the story and the relationship between Hazel and Gus. While the story does involve cancer, it's not the main focus. Green talks about how well Woodley and Elgort played the parts and how their chemistry really brought the story to life.
As for the new scenes, we get to watch Gus ask Hazel out to the movies, Hazel's mom talk about the flight to Amsterdam, and a look at Gus's and Hazel's date night in Amsterdam.

2 Healthcare Investment Picks – Valeant and Novo Nordisk
Health care reform's passage by the U.S. Congress put the issue of health and wellness at the front of American minds this year. The truth is, though, even if the bill hadn't passed our aging demographics and rising obesity rates would have made health care a growth industry.
Now that the bill is law, the U.S. government will spend anadditional $1 trillion on health care. Big Pharma companies haven't wasted a second trying to edge out competitors in getting a piece of this pie. They have spent more than $150 million in advertising to promote health care reform in some form or another knowing full well that as the number of insured increases so do their profits.

That's because health care is expensive. If you or a loved one has ever been sick, I don't need to tell you that. The big costs usually come from testing and medical procedures, not drugs, however. Diagnosing problems with invasive surgeries or other labor-intensive methods requiring hospital stays are incredibly costly and can bankrupt families. If a doctor is able to prescribe a pill, however, costs of care go down significantly, as the patient can take care of himself at home. The doctor is also able to see many more patients. The increased use of drugs seems to be a win-win.
And as more doctors and patients adopt pharmaceutical treatments, drug companies will make even more money.
As with every investment, there will be winners and losers. Those drug companies with the right pills at the right time will obviously benefit most. Here's where I think you should start your buying, though:
Novo Nordisk A/S ( NVO ) is an excellently run large pharmaceutical manufacturer. It is one of the world's leading producers of insulin, which is used to treat diabetes. And as populations around the world continue to gain weight, diabetes rates are skyrocketing-sadly-even among children. According to a recent study reported in HealthDay News , if current trends continue, cases of type 1 diabetes among European children younger than 15 will increase 70% by 2020.
This company also makes insulin injection devices and diabetes education materials. Its products include Levemir and NovoLog (which mimic natural insulin regulation more closely than human insulin) and FlexPen, a pre-filled insulin injection tool. In addition to the company's diabetes drugs, Nova Nordisk also has products in the areas of blood clotting management, human growth hormone regimens and hormone replacement therapies.
The company's first-quarter net income rose 23% to $593 million. Its sales rose 9% to $2.47 billion. Looking forward, Novo Nordisk expects year-end sales growth of between 7% and 10%, which is up from its previous guidance of between 6% and 10%. For 2010, the company is expecting conservative growth in its operating earnings in excess of 10%. However, the analyst community is much more optimistic and is expecting its 2010 earnings to rise 20.2%.
NVO is one of my favorite drug stocks right now. I am recommending this stock to paid subscribers of my newsletter.
In the small-cap realm, I like Valeant Pharmaceuticals International ( VRX ). This company is also one that I'm recommending to my paid newsletter readers.
VRX is relentless when it comes to making you look and feel good. They are dedicated to bringing the newest and best products to the market, even if it means buying other pharmaceutical companies to do so. VRX makes approximately 390 prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in the areas of neurology and dermatology. Valeant's drugs include: Efudix, for skin cancer; Mestinon, for severe muscle weakness; and Diastat, for epilepsy.
In early May, the company said its earnings per share ( EPS ) were $0.64, beating analysts' estimates of $0.56 by 14%! The company's revenue also increased 30% from $177.9 million to $232 million. The company additionally revised its 2010 year-end guidance upward to between $2.65 and $2.90 EPS.
Drugs are where the money will be made this summer and into the future. That's why I'm recommending that you buy these established companies with strong product lines and manufacturing capabilities.
As stated, Louis Navellier was recommending both of these pharma picks in his investment newsletters to paid subscribers.

When you think of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD), you think of diseases occurring in poor and developing countries. NTDs perpetuate a cycle of poverty that continues from generation to generation.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says Neglected Tropical Diseases are a medically diverse group of infections caused by a variety of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa and helminths. The 17 neglected tropical diseases prioritized by WHO affect more than 1 billion people worldwide and are endemic in 149 countries.
The 17 NTDs according to the WHO include Dengue/Severe dengue, Rabies, Chagas disease, Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), Leishmaniases, Cysticercosis/Taeniasis, Dracunculiasis (guinea-worm disease), Echinococcosis, Foodborne trematodiases, Lymphatic filariasis, Onchocerciasis (river blindness), Schistosomiasis, Soil-transmitted helminthiases, Buruli ulcer, Leprosy (Hansen disease), Trachoma and Yaws.
Despite many Americans believing that neglected diseases only occur in the poorest of the poor nations, in March the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) named the five Neglected Parasitic Infections (NPI) that the federal health agency has targeted as priorities for public health action, based on the following three factors: Number of people infected, severity of the illnesses and the ability to prevent and treat them.
The five NPI are Chagas disease, cysticercosis, toxocariasis, toxoplasmosis, and trichomoniasis. These five parasitic infections are considered neglected because relatively little attention has been devoted to their surveillance, prevention, and/or treatment.
Chagas disease
According to the CDC, Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to animals and people by insect vectors that are found only in the Americas (mainly, in rural areas of Latin America where poverty is widespread). Chagas disease (T. cruzi infection) is also referred to as American trypanosomiasis.
Estimates say that upwards around 8 million people in Central and South America and Mexico are infected, with many unaware of their infection.
It is estimated that there are over 300,000 people living in the United States who are infected with the parasite that causes Chagas disease. More than 300 infected babies are born every year in the United States.
Most people are infected with the parasite via insect vectors called triatomine bugs. Others ways people can become infected are through congenital transmission (from a pregnant woman to her baby); blood transfusion; organ transplantation; consumption of uncooked food contaminated with feces from infected bugs; and accidental laboratory exposure.
If untreated, infection is lifelong and can be life threatening and can cause heart failure and death.
Cysticercosis is a parasitic tissue infection caused by larval cysts of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium.
Human cysticercosis occurs either by the direct transfer of Taenia solium eggs from the feces of people harboring an adult worm to their own mouth (autoinfection) or to the mouth of another individual, or indirectly by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the eggs.
When the person ingests the eggs, the embryo escape from the shell and penetrates the intestinal wall, gets into the blood vessels, where they spread to muscle, or more seriously, the eyes, heart or brain.
The severity of cystercercosis depends on which organs are infected and the number of cysticerci. An infection consisting of a few small cysticerci in the liver or muscles would likely result in no obvious disease and go unnoticed.
Those that form in voluntary muscle tend to be asymptomatic, but may cause some pain. On the other hand, a few cysticerci, if located in a particularly "sensitive" area of the body, might result in irreparable damage.
For instance, a cysticercus in the eye might lead to blindness, or a cysticercus in the brain (neurocysticercosis) could lead to traumatic neurological damage, epileptic seizures or brain swelling that can kill.
The CDC notes that neurocysticercosis is the single most common infectious cause of seizures in some areas of the United States. 2,000 people are diagnosed with neurocysticercosis every year.
In the United States, most puppies and many adult dogs are infected with the roundworm, Toxocara canis.
Infection of the adult dog with this parasite happens when they ingest eggs from the contaminated environment. The puppies usually get this parasite from the mother before birth through her milk. The puppies will start passing eggs in their feces by 3 weeks of age.
This parasite can be spread to humans by ingestions of eggs from the soil or from contaminated hands. Most at risk are young children under 5 years of age, especially those with a history of eating dirt and exposure to puppies.
One study showed that 20-60% of soil samples from backyard residences, public parks and children's sandboxes were contaminated with Toxocara canis eggs. Though it is found throughout the U.S., diagnosis of disease in children is made most frequently in the south.
Light infections in humans are usually asymptomatic, and probably occur quite frequently.
Human infection with Toxocara usually takes one of two forms; visceral larval migrans (VLM), this is where the larvae migrate aimlessly. They usually end up migrating to the liver, but almost any tissue can be invaded.
The other rarer manifestation is ocular larval migrans (OLM), where the larvae enter the eye where permanent vision loss is possible.
The CDC says At least 14% of the U.S. population has been exposed to Toxocara. Every year an estimated 70 people, most of them children, are blinded by toxocariasis. The true numbers are believed to be even higher.
Toxoplasmosis is a protozoan parasite that's found worldwide. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there are approximately 23% of adults and adolescents infected with the parasite. They also mention that in certain populations around the world the prevalence may be as high as 95%. It is believed that the infection is acquired throughout life.
For the person with a healthy immune system who picks up this parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, the symptoms are mild or totally asymptomatic and the acute infection passes unnoticed. The immune system keeps the parasite in check in the tissues. If at a later time the immune system is compromised, the disease can be reactivated.
This parasite infects almost all warm-blooded animals, but the domestic cat is the final host. Cats may excrete millions of these parasites in their feces on a daily basis. Cats usually pick up this organism through eating mice, rats, birds and by grooming themselves.
There are several conditions in which the organism Toxoplasma can cause lethal infection; people with AIDS, cancer patients on chemotherapy and transplacentally transmitted between mother and child are the main groups of patients most at risk. Serious disease manifestations may include brain abscesses, eye infections and pneumonia.
In the pregnant woman, the risk is if she gets a primary (new) infection during her pregnancy. The infection may be passed to the unborn child with devastating outcomes.
Human infection with Toxoplasma typically occur by one of the following routes; eating undercooked or raw meat, changing cat litter boxes and getting exposed to cat feces while gardening or other activities.
The CDC says more than 60 million people in the United States are chronically infected with toxoplasmosis.
Trichomonas vaginalis
Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common pathogenic protozoan infection in humans in developed countries. In North America alone it is estimated that in excess of 8 million new cases are reported annually. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 180 million infections are acquired annually worldwide.
It is spread through contact with vaginal and urethral discharges during sexual intercourse. It is highly unlikely to catch this parasite by means of sitting on a toilet seat as many believe; Trichomonas just does not withstand drying and do not survive very long in the environment outside of the host.
In women, though sometimes asymptomatic, when symptoms are present it is characterized by a profuse, thin greenish-yellow discharge with a foul odor. Other signs of trichomoniasis are small hemorrhages causing reddening on the cervix known as "strawberry cervix", vaginal itching and an urge to urinate.
In men, most show no symptoms, however it may invade the prostate and seminal vesicles.
Rarely, babies born to infected mothers may contract infection during delivery.
The CDC says Trichomoniasis is a major cause of infertility and preterm labor in women, and low birthweight in babies

How to dehydrate Pumpkins–and how to use it in recipes.
20 comments
Nov 7th
Good morning, everyone, how are you?
I am a little shaken by the elections results, but determined that I need to do what I can do, to have hope, to focus on the good, to remember that no matter who is President,
Jesus is King.
The Handy Hubby and I have also asked ourselves if this changes things on how we are working at being more self-sufficient and prepared for any eventuality.
And the answer was yes.
Has this election changed your plans in any way?
Today I am talking about how to dehydrate pumpkins,
and then how to use them.
The process is very very simple.
You cube up the pumpkin, or cut into slices, peeled of course.
Lay those pieces on your tray and dehydrate at about 150*, or the fruit and vegetable setting on your dehydrator.
Once they are dry and crispy, place them in your blender,
and hit the on button.
You will quickly end up with pumpkin flour, which stores really well and takes up very little space.
Here is a picture of how little space a single large pumpkin takes up.
2 cups.
Pumpkin flour is incredibly convenient.
You use it at a ratio of 1:4.
One cup of pumpkin to four cups water
will make four and a half cups of pumpkin puree.
That is enough for two pumpkin pies.
If you are making a single pumpkin pie, use 1/2 cup flour to 2 cups of water.
Or how about making a quick bread? Change out 1/4 of the flour amount required to make a pumpkin bread.
Or Pumpkin sweet rolls.
Or Pumpkin brownies.
In my newest Ebook, The Master Mix Way, there is a fabulous recipe for One in a Million Master Cake mix. I use it all the time to make cupcakes, etc.
Well, since dehydrating pumpkin and using it for recipes so I can share with you on here,
I used only 2 cups of the mix and 1/4 cup of the pumpkin flour to make a rich and tasty pumpkin cake, that we then frosted with cream cheese frosting.
It was absolutely delicious, moist, and rich.
Even better, lets talk about using it in cooking. Ever heard of Pumpkin soup? Did you see my recipe for Fabulous Fall Beef Stew that I posted yesterday? Pumpkin is a natural thickener. You could simply dehdyrate the cubes and throw them in the crockpot with the rest of the ingredients and have a thick, tasty stew for dinner that evening when you got back home. This could be used for making the filling for pumpkin ravioli, simply by adding boiling water to the amount of pumpkin you needed, and use it to fill the ravioli pockets.
Dehydrated foods are so incredibly convenient,
they take such little space,
and can be made into so many different meals.
While I love canning, and do my fair share of it, I have been leaning more and more towards the dehydrating end because of how little space and weight it takes up. I am quite sure I could fit 5-6 large pumpkins, dehydrated and ground into pumpkin flour, into a single half gallon jar. Compare that to the 40 Quarts it took me to put up two and a half pumpkins
Are they both useful?
Are they both convenient to have?
Are they both moveable and ready to go in case of an emergency?
I can throw those dehydrated slices into meals in a bag for my family, and have two weeks worth of meals for five people that fits in a backpack. Whereas carrying a ton of jars just isnt possible.
I think there is a place for both in most homes. You never know when you might have to leave your home in a hurry, and having a place where you have meals stored ready to go is common sense. And there is no worries about using it, because not only are dehydrated foods good for many more years than canned foods, they also retain more nutrients, and just might provide that quick "throw in the crockpot meal" right before you rush out the door in the morning.
A little effort goes a long way, right?
Excuse me, now I need to go work on the 18 pumpkins we have left.
I just wanted to give you a heads up that tomorrow I will be doing a Thoughtful Thursday post on what I think about the election, and what my heart and mind and telling me needs to be done. It will be focusing a lot on preparedness, FYI.
I appreciate all of you whom have read my posts, even if we are of different political persuasions. I don't want to alienate you, so if you don't want to read, then tomorrow is the day to skip. Although I would hope you would listen to me as I would listen to you. We don't have to agree.
I am also going to be sharing some ideas on Friday for Thanksgiving decorations that I have seen and will be making around here for my family. I hope you enjoy those.
Many blessings to you and yours,

Easter is coming up fast and, with it, comes lots of egg coloring, pictures with the Easter bunny, decorating the house and lawn and—of course—dinner with family. One of the best parts of spending a day with family is the great dessert that you will share together after dinner is over and Easter provides a lot of opportunity to create desserts that are both delicious and festive!
Easter is a very aesthetically interesting holiday that incorporates a lot of pastel colors and cutesy imagery (like flowers and baby animals) into its décor. Hence, it is possible to come up with a wide range of designs for cakes, cookies, pies and many other kinds of desserts. There is no set "type" of dessert to make for Easter but most people agree that chocolate and Easter go very well together!
Below is a list of five kinds of dessert that make sweet Easter treats!
Cake is arguably the most common and classic dessert to have at any family function. Cakes come in a variety of shapes and tastes and they can be decorated in any number of ways. For Easter cakes can be adored with pastel frosting or baked in the shape of an Easter Bunny or eggs.
Cupcakes are extremely popular desserts. They are essentially handheld cakes that can be decorated in a lot of ways. Cupcakes are usually topped with frosting and, for Easter, that frosting can be made to resemble bunnies, chicks or pastel eggs.
Cookies are a tempting dessert because they come in such a large variety of shapes, sizes and tastes. There are an untold number of cookie recipes available online and they range from the easy to make to the very difficult. Cookies can be decorated in many colors and they can also be baked in specific shapes.
Pie is a very common dessert that is easy enough to make. Pie can also be filled with ingredients like apple or pumpkin or berries so it is usually regarded as being a healthier and less fattening dessert than most. Although pies are not as easy to decorate as some other desserts, they are good to have at a family function for anyone who is watching their weight.
Lollipops are delicious treats that can be made with chocolate or hard candy. Lollipops are created in molds so it is very simple to form Easter lollipops into shapes of bunnies or eggs. They are also easy to hand out to everyone at a very crowded family gathering!

A mother and another woman were charged on Jan. 18, 2014 in the deaths of two young children. Montgomery, Md. County Police say the women believed they were performing an exorcism on the toddlers, according to The Republic.
Monifa Denise Sanford, 21, and Zakieya Latrice Avery, 28, were each charged with two counts of First Degree Murder and two counts of Attempted First Degree Murder, according to MY Fox DC.
Fox reports that Avery's two children – Norell Harris, 1, and Zyana Harris, 2 – suffered multiple stab wounds.
According to The Republic, the deceased children's siblings were taken to a local hospital with injuries.
Police posit the two women believed they were performing an exorcism on the children.
Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger told Fox, "Cases like this are heartbreaking… Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims along with the 911 operators, police officers, evidence technicians, and fire and EMS personnel that responded."
Authorities are asking anyone with further information about the case to call the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070.

Pear and Hazelnut Muffins
Adapted from Whole Grain Mornings
This book is a delight, creative, seasonally-sorted recipes through the lens of whole grains. I made these first (preschooler's choice!) but have already bookmarked Bacon and Kale Polenta Squares, Strawberry Oat Breakfast Crisp, Vanilla and Cream Steel-Cut Oats Porridge, Creamy Breakfast Rice with Honey-Poached Figs and Pistachios and Zucchini-Farro Fritters, to give you an idea of what will await you when you buy the book. It's nothing short of what you'd expect from the creator of Marge Granola.
This recipe, however, I tweaked it a bit, mostly because it used many bowls and I wanted it to use fewer. A bunch more notes: This calls for 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat (pastry flour was recommended) but I think it can be tweaked with any flour mix your prefer, be it mostly whole wheat or white whole wheat, or a gluten-free mix (Sprouted Kitchen smartly recommends 1/2 cup each of oat, almond and brown rice flour). I (always) think you could brown the butter. Yogurt thinned with a little milk could replace the buttermilk, as could coconut milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice added, and coconut oil or olive oil could replace the butter, just to give you a few ideas. The bittersweet chocolate chunks were not necessary, but they were not regretted either.
Yield: Theoretically, 12 muffins, but I got 16.
2 small-medium firm pears
6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (plus more for cups)
2/3 cup (125 grams) natural cane sugar, such as Turbinado, light brown or granulated sugar
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup (75 grams) rolled oats
1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (60 grams) whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, which I replaced with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, which I replaced with 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (120 grams) toasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup (85 grams) bittersweet chocolate chunks (optional)
Heat oven to 425°F. Butter a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with papers.*
Peel (if you so desire, can be skipped) pears, then halve and core them. Grate pears on the large holes of a boxed grater into a large bowl. You should have about 1 cup grated (although I ended up with 1 1/2, opting to meet the recipe halfway and used 1 1/4 cups). Stir in melted butter, sugar, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla until combined.
In a separate bowl, stir together the oats, flours, baking soda, baking powder, spices, salt, all but 1/2 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts, and chocolate chunks, if you're feeling extra indulgent. Gently fold this dry ingredient mixture into the wet batter until just combined; do not overmix.
Fill muffin cups almost up to the top and sprinkle with the reserved 1/2 cup hazelnuts. Place muffins in oven and immediately reduce the heat to 375°F. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of muffins comes out batter-free.
Cool muffins in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Muffins will keep for 2 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
* Unsolicited plug: Just bought these for the first time, which were wonderful at keeping the muffins from sticking to the paper.

$$\forall n\in A\,\,\exists ! B\,\,,\,B\,\,\text{is a set and}\,\,\,B\subset n$$
If you mean that $B$ is an element of each $n\in A$, you can write $B\in\bigcap A$: for any collection $A$ of sets, by definition $x\in\bigcap A$ if and only if $x\in n$ for each $n\in A$. If you mean that $B$ is a subset of each $n\in A$, then each element of $B$ is an element of $\bigcap A$, and you can write $B\subseteq\bigcap A$.
There are of course more complicated ways to express the same things.

Baltimore, one of a handful of Mid-Atlantic cities that, despite a major investment in port facilities, has struggled to attract cruise lines, got a huge boost today when Carnival Cruise Lines announced it would position Carnival Pride there on a year-round basis.
The 88,500-ton, 2,124-passsenger ship is the largest ever to homeport year-round in a Mid-Atlantic regional port. Philadelphia and Norfolk are the other two Mid-Atlantic ports.
Beginning September 13, 2009, Carnival Pride will offer two different seven-night itineraries. What it's dubbing "Exotic Eastern Caribbean" will call at Grand Turk, in the Turks and Caicos chain of islands, Half Moon Cay, which is Holland America's private Bahamian isle, and the Bahamas' Freeport. What we're dubbing the "not so exotic" Eastern Caribbean trip visits Port Canaveral (gateway to Orlando) and both Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas.
In a statement, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley notes that "year-round cruising will allow the 40 million people that live within a six-hour drive of Baltimore to look beyond the traditional cruising seasons and sail throughout the year."
Still, Baltimore has struggled to attract cruise ship turnarounds over the past few years. The city, which is actually located on the Patapsco River, which leads to the Chesapeake Bay, is not directly on the Atlantic coast. The 12-hour trip to the Atlantic, both coming and going, has to be worked into itineraries.
This summer and fall, for instance, Baltimore is home to Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas and NCL's Norwegian Majesty. But both ships are only sailing a series of voyages from the city -- rather than being based there for the entire season.
Carnival Pride, part of Carnival's delightful Spirit class of ships, offers a terrific blend of big-ship features in a mid-sized environment. "Where can you find the artwork of Raphael, DaVinci, Botticelli, and Michelangelo, and the architectural details of ancient Greece, Byzantine empires, Renaissance Italy, Beaux Arts France and Victorian England all under the same roof?" writes Jana Jones, a Cruise Critic contributor who recently reviewed the ship (read more here).

Sgt. Kisha Makerney thrives, despite loss of her leg
By Bret Moss
Choctaw Nation
of Oklahoma
DURANT –– A conversation with Army National Guardsman Sgt. Kisha Makerney is a motivating experience. In the face of seemingly detrimental odds, she has not only thrived, but accomplished more in a few years than many will in a lifetime.
As a Choctaw who grew up in Fort Towson, Okla., Makerney excitedly began her military service with the Army National Guard at the age of 17 and subsequently embarked on her first tour at age 18, where she was stationed in Iraq.

On last night's Cooking Channel episode of "The Freshman Class: Santa Cruz," viewers have been experiencing the four key members of the class of the Cabrillo College Culinary Arts and Hospitality program on this episode titled "Kim's Change."
As the episode begins, Restaurant Lab begins with Chef Eric shouting out orders to the troops. Kim is listening to his advice not to cook certain things unless they are to order. Things that sit in a steam table are subject to drying out. Two hours later, Chef Eric tells Gabe that it is his turn next week to be head chef; his last chance to prove himself. Chef Hector, his mentor, gives him a checklist to help him prepare for his day in the sun. Kim really wants to learn all she can, and found another college in Santa Cruz that offers more nutrition classes, but it is a private school and much more expensive. When she explains this to her husband, Steve, he is livid and tells her to find the extra $17,000 to take this course of action. He is not in her corner this time and reminds her that she has been taking courses throughout their entire marriage and nothing ever came of it. Their relationship is now heading towards a breaking point.
Matheus is at a therapist's office, Amalia has helped him make this choice, and is now following through. She advises him to take advantage of the natural anti-depressants in the body by making small goals.
The next day, Gabe is head chef. His must prove himself and Chef Eric warns them that there is a long line of people outside. Gabe is having a good day and seems to be in his element, a nice confidence booster for him.
The next day in the catering class, Chef Sue reminds them that the final is next week. She will be observing them, but cannot help them. It will be held for about forty people. They will be graded on their performance, so service is utmost as she hands out the assignments.
Later at Matt's house, he is practicing making short ribs so he can show Chef Sue exactly what he can do. Before class, Kim stops in to see Chef Sue. She would like a reference from her, and tells her she wants to attend Bowman College to learn about the nutritional side of her craft, not only the traditional one. Chef Sue agrees it is a good way to go. When Kim told her about her husband's attitude, she told her to stick to her guns and follow her dream. She does love her husband, and wants him to be in agreement with her.
Later, Gabe is on his way to see Chef Eric to get his grade for the class and he received an A for his head chef assignment and now feels that Chef Eric has more confidence in him and his decision to pursue this career path.
The next day, Chef Sue announces that her job is over, and wishes the class good luck on their practical for the Catering Class. Gabe was assigned the grill, Amalia had desserts, Kim's was the front of the house and Matt's was the short ribs. When he realized that he put the ribs on the oven floor instead of a rack, he discovered his error and corrected it before it was a disaster. She tasted them, before they were served, and she would have liked a bit more of a wine taste, but they were good. Her poker face did not let on as to how they did yet.
When the individuals came in for their evaluation, Chef Sue gave Amalia an A. Gabe received a B, and he was thrilled. Kim received an A, and Matt received a B, and Sue was very pleased to see him go from a student to a chef despite his challenges.
As the "The Freshman Class: Santa Cruz," passed the one course with flying colors, what lies ahead will be seen on next week's season finale.

I have a question here, in order to have a stable solution of a differential equation, is that right we should have all eigenvalues less one?
But I have seen a incomprehensible situation in difference equation, for instance
\begin{align*} x_{t+1}&=a x_{t} -b y_t\\ y_t&= y_{t+1}-cx_{t+1} \end{align*} $a$, $b$ and $c$ are parameters, there are two eignenvalues, one has to be less than one, the other has to be larger than one in order to keep system stable. I completely do not grasp this idea. If anyone knows, please explain to me! Thanks!

State-of-the-art endoscopy center to open at Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center
PHOENIX (Jan. 22, 2013) – A community open house is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, Feb. 8 to mark the opening of a state-of-the-art endoscopy center at Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center, 14502 W. Meeker Blvd., Sun City West.
The Banner Del E. Webb New Endoscopy Center will feature five new procedure rooms, four general endoscopy rooms and one bronchoscopy room. All procedure rooms will be fluoroscopy ready. An anesthesia machine will be available for in each room. A wide array of new endoscopes will be available along with advanced scope processing area which uses an ultrasonic washing/disinfection system for high quality cleaning.
"It is certainly exciting to be a part of this new endoscopy center," said Dr. Teodor Pitea, a gastroenterologist specializing in interventional endoscopy at Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center. "One unique aspect of the new department will be the availability of in wall carbon dioxide insufflation for endoscopic procedures instead of air. During complex, lengthy procedures when air is introduced into the body patients are at risk to wake up with significant abdominal distension and pain. Eliminating the trapped air may take a long time. With the use of CO2, patients are less likely to develop discomfort related to gaseous distention since the CO2 is being mostly absorbed into the blood circulation and then exhaled as normal part of our respiratory process."
The new department will provide in- and out-patient gastroenterology services to patients throughout Greater Phoenix. Beside upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, the new center will include endoscopic ultrasound, double balloon enteroscopy, esophageal manometry and advanced pulmonary procedures.
Endoscopy involves the use of slender tubular instruments used to examine the inner parts of the body for diagnostic tests or minimally invasive interventions. The Banner Del E. Webb Endoscopic department will enable patients to experience safe and effective alternatives to more invasive diagnostic testing and surgery.
Community members interested in touring the new center are encouraged to call and RSVP at (602) 230-CARE (2273).
About Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center
Banner Del E. Webb is a 404-bed, acute-care hospital offering orthopedic surgery, heart care, emergency care, general surgery, cancer care, obstetrics and gynecology, medical imaging, women's diagnostic services, outpatient services, rehabilitation and behavioral care. Banner Del E. Webb is part of Banner Health, a nonprofit health care system with 23 hospitals throughout the West. Supporting Banner Del E. Webb's mission of excellent patient care is Sun Health Foundation, which encourages charitable giving to enhance health care delivery.

ANAHEIM The deep-seated issues that caused Anaheim's civil unrest can be solved with help from the government, businesses and residents, Mayor Tom Tait says.
Stressing the power of kindness, Tait spent more than half of his State of the City speech last week at the City National Grove of Anaheim outlining ways in which he sees the city moving forward from the summer's protests after two suspects were shot dead by police.
"We could throw up our hands and simply declare the problem to be unsolvable," he said. "Or we can truly commit, truly commit to help one another make our city be the kind of community in which all people feel included and invested."
The City Council can help, he said, by creating a citizens review board for the Police Department and by using the transient-occupancy tax to create a neighborhood improvement fund.
It should also adopt district elections so that a wider variety of the population has the opportunity to run and be elected, he said.
On the business side, Tait said he had met with leaders of the Angels and also called on the Ducks, Disney, small and medium businesses to work together to create a plan to address social issues.
He also declared this year to be Anaheim's Year of Kindness, an initiative to encourage more community members to volunteer.
"Imagine Anaheim becoming a city of kindness. … Where all people in all neighborhoods feel that the entire city cares for them – because they do," he said.
Before delving into city's problems, Tait touched on some of the successes in 2012. Those included the opening of the Grand Plaza at the Anaheim Convention Center and improvements at schools.
The text of Tait's speech can be seen at anaheim.net.

At OhOh Blog, Ama came up with a really creative way to upcycle an old belt. Check out this design for an ultra modern towel holder!
Making this new towel holder was simple. Ama measured and cut the leather belt to the lengths she wanted. She formed loops from the leather and screwed them in place onto her wall. Wooden dowels hang suspended from the leather loops, ready to provide a place for the towels. Such a great look with minimum fuss and expense.

How close are the employees of your company? At the original Denver-based Frontier Airlines (1946-1986), they still get together once a year to talk about old times, who's where now and who's no longer with us. Some 270 ex-Frontier pilots, flight attendants, customer service and reservations agents, mechanics and other staffers held their 28th annual reunion this weekend – fittingly, at Denver's Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum.
They had a lot to reminisce about. All told, their airline carried 87 million passengers 49 billion miles over its 40-year lifetime and earned the best safety record of any airline for that period. At its peak, Frontier's routes linked Denver to cities across the country including points like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Atlanta, plus major destinations in Mexico and Canada.
Frontier's all-coach inflight service – from its extra legroom to its complimentary steak and lobster dinners (served with a bottle of Mateus wine, also on the cuff) -- is still a legend among veteran travelers.
"It's amazing how many employees show up for the reunion every year," noted Carolyn Boller, one of the event's organizers, "although some of us are getting a little long in the tooth." Boller, a former reservations agent for the airline, said there were 2,500 employees at the first reunion in 1987.
Among ex-employees at this year's get-together was Emily Warner, who became the first woman pilot for a U.S. airline when she joined Frontier in 1973 (and three years later became the industry's first female captain when she was elevated to that rank on Frontier).
Monarch of the western skies
Frontier, at first named Monarch Airlines, was one of two dozen "local service" airlines created by Uncle Sam in 1946 to handle a huge upswing in regional air travel in the roaring post-war economy.
Monarch changed its name to Frontier a few years later when it absorbed two of the other new kids on the block. Their combined routes – mostly short hops flown with war surplus DC-3 "gooneybirds" -- linked Denver to 40 cities in seven states.
Like the baby boomers, Frontier grew up over the next 25 years. It painted its colors on yet another airline in 1967, enlarged its route network to 94 cities in 26 states and swapped its smaller propeller planes for jets.
Frontier's golden era
In the early 70s, Frontier debuted its legendary operating philosophy: "Run on time, tell passengers the truth and give them better service than they expect from an airline." From this came the 10-year-long "golden era" of Frontier, when its customers enjoyed the added legroom, the comp steak and lobster dinners and all the other perks they never expected from an airline.
The good times came to an end in the shockwaves of airline deregulation, when in Congress' zest to free the skies for competition it also unleashed the multi-billion-dollar clout of the big airlines against the little guys. Guess who won?
Frontier folded its wings on Aug. 24, 1986. At the time it had 4,750 employees and a fleet of 42 jets, including 38 Boeing 737s and four McDonnell Douglas MD-80s. It was serving 56 cities in 22 states.
Disclosure: The writer was a public relations executive of the original Frontier and is a retired vice president and co-founder of the "new" Frontier, launched in 1994.

Nicolas Winding Refn to direct Barbarella as a TV Show?
You may have heard the news – but what does it all mean?
If you're like me, and you loved Drive, and you know that Ryan Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn have just finished shooting Only God Forgives in Thailand, then you would have been looking forward to seeing them team up together for the long-promised Logan's Run remake, which seen through Refn's eyes, would have been spectacular.
Now – all that's gone to hell in a hand basket with the news announced today that Refn is going to be one of the driving forces of a Barbarella TV show.
B. See A.
I don't know how and why people would try to make a TV series based on a character that was actually toned down for the 1968 Roger Vadim film. The end result, was frankly, out of its mind, and best enjoyed whilst tripping off your tits. Nudity, random sex, and bizarre bondage torture – its all par for the course for a film that gave the band Duran Duran its name, and featured a lesbian queen with a horn growing out of her head.
The original Barbarella 1962 comic books are even saucier. You want to add an iconoclastic director like Refn to the mix? I say – great! fantastic! as a fan. Of a movie. As a TV show? How is that going to work?
If you've seen the carnage of 'difficult' (read 'interesting') TV shows littering the highway of recent cancellation, then the idea of a Barbarella TV show sounds like televisual suicide.
Unless of course, Refn is toned down to fit a certain criteria that fits ratings 'expectations', like when he worked on a Miss Marple episode (oh yes he did). Which defeats the purpose of having him on board in the first place. There's no point in not having Pusher-style awesomeness if you're having Refn on board.
If you've seen the Pusher trilogy, Valhalla Rising and Drive – 'Barbarella by Refn' sounds like it's going to be a tornado of sexy violence and violent sexiness. Which is great for fans, but a nightmare for TV ratings.
The quotes attributed to Refn that went with the announcement today about Barbarella – "one of the ultimate counter-cultural characters" and "I look forward to bringing this unique character to life for a new generation of fans." could point to a re-invention of the character, but staying true to the original Barbarella point of view – one that thumbed its nose at conventional mores – particularly about sex.
The TV series is being brought to the small screen by Gaumont International Television, which is the Los Angeles based arm of French studio, Gaumont, who are currently producing Only God Forgives. GIT are producing the TV series Hannibal, with Mads Mikkelsen, and Hemlock Grove, from Eli Roth, starring Famke Janssen.
Hopefully they're producing Barbarella for primarily a European audience, and thus it won't be a pussied-up, washed-down waste of time. That said – the success of the Canadian Lost Girl proves that audiences in the United States, the crucial factor in whether a show lives or dies internationally, don't mind a bit of sauce when it comes to fantasy. Perhaps it'll work in a far out and groovy Sci Fi future.
Fingers crossed. If the result is good TV, I'm all for it. However it gets done.
If they do a great job, thumbs up, but the horrific possibility is that Logan's Run has been asked to ride the carousel (i.e. get buried in the back yard with all the hopes and dreams of a generation wanting to see a remake that isn't a pale ghost of the original).
Which will be the most of horrific of shames if Barbarella turns out to be VIP in space. But we can only hope that's the case.
The question then, of course, is who could possibly play Barbarella?
Cobie Smulders? Christina Hendricks? Morena Baccarin? Laura Vandervoort? An unknown?
Suggestions welcome.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Krakowczyk, Thomas
Krakowczyk, Thomas, guitarist, trumpeter, singer, composer; b. Frankfurt a.M., Germany, 19 February 1964. First guitar lessons when he was 7 years old. From 1983 he lived in Munich and took music lessons from Thomas Reimer and John Thomas (guitar), Rudolf Roth (rhythm), Chris Beier (theory, harmonic concepts). He started playing trumpet and performing professionally as a jazz guitarist in Munich 1984 with his Trio "Conception".
In 1987 he moved to Hamburg, where he remained. He studied jazz there at the "Hochschule fur Musik" (1988-96) and obtained lessons from Joe Pass, Herb Geller and Wynton Marsalis. He started performing regularly with his trio at Dennis' Swing Club 1988, put up a small big band the Jazz 'n' Dance Orchestra (1994), for which he writes the arrangements. Since 1999 his activities concentrate more and more on performing as a trumpet player in his Latin jazz group Ricardo Aleman y su orquesta, with which he started touring and playing concerts in other cities. He named himself Ricardo Aleman because he looked for a pseudonym that would be easy to remember and would sound well in the Spanish talking world. Since 1995 he produces CDs for his own record label smack dab records. Since summer 2002 he's started to perform a Swing repertoire as "Nat King Thomas."
From Bop to New Age (1994); Jazz 'n' Dance Orchestra: Nightclubsinger (1995); Die Kapelle spielt den Blues (1996); Dedicated to Dennis (2001); Ricardo Aleman y su orquesta: El angel de Tejadillo (2001)

THE EARTH AS SEEN FROM THE MOON / LA TERRA VISTA DALLA LUNA (1966, 30 min.) Follow a father and son duo who must find a replacement for their wife/mother figure. Pasolini continues to stretch as a filmmaker both comic and poetic, a role established with Hawks and Sparrows.
WHAT ARE THE CLOUDS? / CHE COSA SONO LE NUVOLIE? (1967, 22 min.) A clumsy, amateur puppet version of Shakespeare's Othello. Both the public and the puppeteer play a great role in the play, which goes downhill fast. It eventually results in the puppets (played by Toto and Ninetto Davoli) being thrown into a rubbish dump, only to discover the marvel of the sky for the first time.
THE PAPER FLOWER SEQUENCE / LA SEQUENZA DEL FIORE DI CARTA (1968, 12 min.) From the anthology film Love and Anger (Amore e rabbia), "[Pasolini's film] is a reference to the Gospel parable called 'The Barren Fig Tree,' where Christ strikes down a fig tree because it isn't bearing fruit in March, although it could hardly have known better. In the episode, Ninetto is shown happily walking down the via Nazionale in Rome, while in superimposition there are images of various things going on in the world, such as the bombing of Vietnam, of which the man remains blissfully ignorant and unaware."

Have you been on a classic rock kick lately? Turn up your Led Zeppelin station on Spotify, light the Bron Yr Aur Candle ($15) and rock out. Each candle in the Tisane collection evokes the feel of a different place and time, but Bron Yr Aur is our favorite. It transports us to the secluded Plant family holiday cottage, surrounded by moss-covered stones and a hilly countryside. Maybe it'll inspire us to write a few songs of our own.

I'd say Hansbrough and Notre Dame's 56-51 victory over Pittsburgh last night deserves a celebratory drink. So what's the game plan?
Enter the Fighting Irish Coffee beverage that I've perfected; a victory for Irish Coffee lovers everywhere who appreciate the extra "burn" that spiced whiskey delivers.
Check it:
Fighting Irish Coffee
1/2 Tablespoon raw, unfiltered honey (I use Ambrosia Honey Co., but you should find what's near you—local honey can help with allergies)
7 oz french pressed coffee
1 1/2 oz Feckin Spiced Irish Whiskey
Heavy whipping cream
Red Pepper flakes
Brew coffee in french press (four minutes).
While waiting for coffee, whip chilled heavy cream until it's light and fluffy (takes about 3 minutes)
Put honey and coffee in coffee mug. Stir in Feckin Spiced Irish Whiskey. Top with whipped cream and garnish with red pepper flakes.
"Slainte!" (my sources tell me that's what the Irish say for, "Cheers!")
Happy Irish Coffee Week!

Great Jeans
"I have at least 20 pairs of old Eddie Bauer jeans and they have finally worn out. I had no choice but to buy a few new pairs. These jeans are indestructible and seem to last forever (20 years). It is definitely worth a few extra bucks to buy a great product."
If selecting short inseam, choose hem style "Without Cuffs" in order to choose an inseam length.

Comments about Men's Straight Fit Essential Jeans:
True to size, which I find is a rarity these days. Did not shrink upon washing.
Comments about Men's Straight Fit Essential Jeans:
Pro and con fields way to limited.
Shipping costs, etc to Canada was the same as the cost of the two pair of jeans.
Both button holes were way too small so had a tailor make them bigger which added to the cost.

I love the quality and weight. My last pair lasted for 10 years!!!

Under the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH), an applicant receiving a ruling from the Office of First Filing (OFF) that at least one claim in an application filed in the OFF is patentable may request that the Office of Second Filing (OSF) fast track the examination of corresponding claims in corresponding applications filed in the OSF. PPH will leverage fast-track examination procedures already available in the OSF to allow applicants in the OSF to obtain corresponding patents faster and more efficiently.
As of May 25, 2010, the USPTO has eliminated the fee for the petition to make special under the PPH programs. For further information, please see the Federal Register notice available here.
