Following the bubonic plague outbreak in Florence in 1348, a renewed religious conservatism marked the general atmosphere and the next generation of artists. Nardo di Cione and his two brothers were among the leaders of this medievalizing style, which harked back to models of presentation antedating the naturalistic and humanistic innovations of Giotto. The enduring, iconic quality of Nardo's Madonna and Child is a product of his interpretation of the Virgin as the Queen of Heaven, set against an abstract and timeless gold background in the Byzantine tradition. The artist's own lyricism is evident in the delicate skin tones, rhythmic and ornamental draperies, and rich, saturated palette. The painting likely served as the central panel of a small folding altarpiece.

To eat healthy or not to eat healthy, that is the question. While most parents make it their duty to teach their children the importance of eating nutritious foods, some kids would still elect to choose a cookie over corn on the cob.
How can parents instill healthy values in their children without boring them to tears? The answer can be found at the New York Botanical Garden's Culinary Kids Food Festival. NYBG's culinary food festival is an event that shows kids how seeds grown on a farm become some of their favorite foods.
From February 17th-23rd, budding foodies can take part in all the fun at NYBG. With cooking demonstrations, hands-on-workshops, taste testing, music, and other activities, children get educated on the values of eating right while learning the relationships between plants and farms. Families can visit various activity stations including the Cheesemonger's Shop, Tip-Tip Pickle Shop, and the Bakery to explore the processes, recipes, and ingredients that go into making food. At the end, children receive their own packet of basil to grow at home.
There's no better way to educate kids on the benefits of eating healthy then to make it an enjoyable experience, and there's no better place to do that then at the NYBG Culinary Kids Food Festival.

For someone who isn't into animals, it's difficult to understand the mourning period for a dog owner. But for a dog owner, it's devastating to find out that their pets have died, especially if there was no forewarning.
In the case of pets like German Shepherds, who are most likely to develop hemangiosarcoma, a malignant cancer of the circulatory system, one would wonder why go for a dog that has the odds against her. Asking that question is about like asking why buy a car if you know there's a possibility of a car accident. Not all dogs die of the sicknesses their breed is closely associated with. And there's no surefire prediction as to how a dog will die. But when it does die, the owner is hurt. And it helps to have supportive friends and family around during such a difficult time.
For a non-dog owner, keep these tips in mind:
- Be willing to drive to the veterinarian's office so the dog owner can have her last moments with the dog.
- Be sympathetic when talking to the dog owner about how she would like to proceed with the dog's illness. Some dog owners may want to put the dog out of any possible misery and have it put to sleep. Other dog owners may choose to see if the dog may live longer and choose amputation or chemotherapy. Try not to judge the dog owner's decision.
- Whether the dog owner chooses to go into the surgical room or stay in the waiting room, be there for the dog owner through the process. It is very common for a dog owner to need companionship, especially after already losing a companion.
- Do not talk about how long the dog has lived as though this is a sufficient time. The dog owner is well aware that dogs age in seven-year human increments. No matter how many years have gone by, to a dog owner, chances are very high that that owner will feel like the dog died too soon.
- Do not show photos of other dogs to the dog owner. As much as a dog owner loves dogs, showing off photos of other dogs or trying to bond by talking about your own dog is about like showing someone who has had a miscarriage other people's baby photos. Right now the only dog that is on this owner's mind is her own dog. At least wait for her to ask about your dog(s) before turning the conversation around.
- Be careful about bringing up the idea of getting another dog. From a financial perspective, the dog owner has just paid for euthanasia, cremation and other medical care needs for her dog. Immediately investing more money in another dog to fill a void can become a financial burden. If the dog owner really wants another dog, be supportive but don't be the initiator. As with any other type of relationship, if the owner does not have proper time to deal with the previous dog's loss she may spend too much time comparing the two dogs and end up not wanting the second dog. And no dog should have to go through the emotional roller coaster of a distant owner.
More information:
Pet cemetery, cremation or backyard burial
There are pet cemeteries in Illinois, such as Hinsdale Animal Cemetery. Dog owners have the opportunity to have the dog cremated (privately or in a memorial), purchase a private burial plot, or purchase cremation jewelry and garden memorials for the home.
Should an owner choose the euthanasia option,* T. J. Dunn, Jr. DVM gives detailed instructions in a Pet MD article about what will happen in the surgery room. Should the dog owner stay in the waiting room? Should the dog owner hold the pet while it's euthanized? Why is the dog given the shot through a vein? Why is the dog breathing after (s)he has been given the shot? Is it okay to ask the veterinarian to make sure the dog's eyelids are closed?
311 emergency confirms that in the Chicago, it is legal to bury a dog in the backyard as long as it is at least three feet deep. The full municipal code states:
7-12-330 Burial of dead animals.
No person shall leave in or throw into any public way, public place or public theater, or offensively expose or bury within the city, the body or any part thereof of any dead or fatally sick or injured animal; nor shall any person keep any dead animal in a place where it may be dangerous to the life or detrimental to the health of any other animal or person; provided, however, that the owner of any dead pet weighing not more than 150 pounds may bury such animal on his premises; provided, further, that not more than one such animal shall be buried upon any half acre ground within two years, and such animal shall be placed at least three feet below the surface of the soil surrounding and adjacent to the grave.
* The rate of euthanasia has decreased in Chicago from approximately 17,215 in 2006 to 8,149 in 2012.

Abstract: BACKGROUNDThe Neptune grass (Posidonia oceanica) habitat is declining in the Mediterranean basin as a consequence of human pressure along the coasts. Such regression of grasslands is caused by different factors, such as erosion cause by trawling (which is illegal inshore) and scraping by the anchors of pleasure boats. Both SCIs have deteriorated as a result of these pressures.OBJECTIVESThe main objective of the project is to safeguard and to restore some SCIs of particular importance to the conservation of the priority habitat 1120 *Posidonia beds in the Tyrrhenian Sea of Mediterranean Biogeographical Region. The conservation actions will take place in two SCIs in the Lazio region: "Sand banks between Chiarone and Fiora rivers" - IT6000001 (1 761.9 ha) and "Sand banks of Punta Murelle" - IT6000002 (1 111.99 ha).Expected results:Approval of management plans for two large marine Natura 2000 SCIs;Production of ex-ante and ex-post evaluations of the conservation efforts in the project areas to update the Natura 2000 schedules;Allocation of 600 submarine structures subdivided in two SCIs to combat illegal bottom-trawler nets;Stage two press conferences (in the initial and final phases of the project) and set-up a website;Implementation of an environmental education programme in schools (120 hours of teaching time for 2 500 students);Produce a 20-minute long video, 1 000 DVD copies of which will be distributed;Publish and distribute 12 000 leaflets;Strike an agreement with fishery associations to preserve the marine SCI areas; andHold two European meetings on coastal and marine habitat conservation to define a common strategy at European level.

Anti-gun California State Senator Leland Yee, facing federal corruption charges that include gun trafficking, was honored in 2006 by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence for his gun control efforts, and yesterday, he dropped out of the race for California Secretary of State, the San Francisco Chronicle first reported.
And last night, Alan Gottlieb, the Bellevue-based gun rights advocate who was first to criticize Yee's apparent hypocrisy, became the new bogeyman for a Seattle-based gun prohibition group that is using his image in a fund-raising e-mail invitation to attend another "campaign kickoff" on Monday, June 2. This is for Initiative 594, the 18-page gun control measure being pandered as a "universal background check" proposal. Critics say it goes much farther.
UPDATE: The California State Senate late Friday morning voted to suspend Yee, and fellow Democrat Senators Ron Calderon and Rod Wright, with pay, "until all criminal proceedings currently pending against them have been dismissed," according to the Sacramento Bee's Capitol Alert. The vote was 28-1.
The newspaper quoted Senate leader Darrel Steinberg, who explained, "Expelling them would be premature, because Yee and Calderon have not been convicted of their corruption charges and Wright is waiting to see if the judge in his perjury trial upholds the jury's guilty verdict."
The irony of Yee's case is not lost on Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. He told Examiner via e-mail after seeing the announcement from the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility (WAGR), that the new battle cry for the gun prohibition lobby should be "Guns for Yee, but not for thee."
Gottlieb is the standard-bearer for Protect Our Gun Rights (POGR), which is backing Initiative 591, the simple measure that prevents government gun confiscation without due process – a'la warrantless post-Hurricane Katrina gun seizures – while protecting the state's current adherence to the uniform national standard for background checks.
In its fund raising invitation to the noonday June 2 event – an hour at which, quipped POGR campaign treasurer Philip Watson, "I think most of us 'normal' people will actually be at work" – the WAGR e-mail complained that I-594 was not adopted by the Legislature because of gun lobbyists "like this guy." Gottlieb's image appears next to that notation.
Gottlieb is taking it in stride, asking tongue-in-cheek, "Who is that guy in the bow tie?" The bow tie is a widely-recognized Gottlieb style trademark.
While Gottlieb is getting a chuckle, gun prohibitionists are seriously embarrassed over Yee's arrest Wednesday. Sen. Yee was one of California's most outspoken gun control proponents. According to yesterday's Washington Post, gun control groups are now "scrambling for someone to pick up that mantle." That was how Paul Song, executive chairman of the Courage Campaign, put it.
"If it wasn't so sad it would be comical. But what we're really worried about is that this will further destroy the momentum for gun control here in California," Song told the newspaper.
Sources in California concur with Song's assessment. Mention gun control in Sacramento right now and one may as well be offering a cup full of toxic waste.
But a paragraph in the San Jose Mercury News brought a new perspective that seems to escape so many people about gun laws and criminal activity, probably unintentionally. The Mercury News story is about political corruption and campaign finance, and how such laws did not prevent what Yee is alleged to have done.
"Some critics have called the Capitol a cesspool because current campaign finance laws aren't tight enough," the newspaper reported. "But Yee allegedly showed little regard for a host of existing laws. And a package of ethics reforms introduced earlier this month -- after Sens. Ron Calderon and Roderick Wright ran afoul of the law -- wouldn't have prevented what Yee allegedly did."
Gun rights advocates have said the same thing for years about restrictive gun laws that only affect law-abiding citizens. Someone intent on wrongdoing is not going to be deterred by a new law.
Fallout from Yee's arrest could spread well beyond California, as it calls into question the character of the gun control movement. Yee is not the only gun control crusader to apparently run afoul of gun laws. However, the allegations against Yee suggest a monumental hypocrisy. When he was honored by the Brady Campaign in 2006, earning an "A+" grade for "working against gun violence," Yee said in a statement that he was "proud to stand up against the gun industry."
Last October, when Yee was pressing for tougher gun laws related to so-called "assault weapons," he piously declared in a press release that, "California's Assault Weapons Ban has protected the public for decades. But we must work to make sure that it is capable of dealing with new threats that face California. In the Governor's veto message, he spoke of the importance of our gun laws and the need to make sure they are carefully tailored."
Those words ring ironically hollow following the senator's arrest at his San Francisco home. His colleagues in Sacramento are currently considering his ouster, and even California's two anti-gun U.S. Senators – Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer – are also saying it is time for Yee to go.
Yee is alleged to have taken money for political favors and sought to profit from an illegal weapons trafficking scheme, allegedly to raise much-needed funds for his Secretary of State campaign and also to retire a $70,000 debt from his unsuccessful run to become mayor of San Francisco. The federal complaint also covers drug trafficking, money laundering and liquor smuggling.
Now released on $500,000 bond, Yee is one of more than two dozen people named in the federal complaint. Also snared in the arrests were Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow, a Chinatown crime figure with a lengthy criminal record, and political consultant Keith Jackson. Yee's attorney says his client will enter a not guilty plea.
The 137-page federal complaint, which may be read here, is stunning. Some are suggesting it reads like a crime novel, and in a way it is reminiscent of a 1985 Michael Cimino film "Year of the Dragon," which delved into the criminal activities of gangs in New York City's Chinatown.

Our lab studies the pathogenesis and mechanisms underlying Huntington's Disease (HD). Previous research has indicated that neuronal iron levels are elevated in the brains of HD patients. Currently, I am investigating the role of amyloid precursor protein (APP), an iron export protein, in disease phenotype and neurodegeneration.
Zhen Lu
Huntington's disease affects about 30000 people in the USA and is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene. Oligomers are soluble protein species and there is evidence that they have an important role in disease progression. Therefore, mutant huntingtin protein oligomers are considered as a therapeutic target in Huntington's disease. My research project is centered on an approach to target oligomers of mutant protein. I am seeking and studying genes that decrease levels of these oligomers using cell and mouse disease models.

College Hockey:St. Thomas Rallies Past Augsburg
Lawrence Nets Winner In Final Minute
MINNEAPOLIS — Tony Lawrence scored the game-winning goal with 22.5 seconds remaining in the third period, as St. Thomas scored twice in the final 2:32 to claim a 4-3 win over host Augsburg in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game Friday night at the Augsburg Ice Arena.
The teams entered the third period tied 2-2, and after Joe Pontrelli scored the go-ahead goal at the 8:23 mark on assists from David May and Nick Murray, it appeared that Augsburg was going to claim an upset win over the Tommies, ranked sixth in the latest U.S. College Hockey Online Division III national poll.
However, Bryan Skrypek tied the game on a rebound goal at the 17:28 mark, on assists from Eric Wenkus and Lawrence, and Lawrence took advantage of a steal in the final minute, scoring on assists from Wenkus and Jake Searles.
St. Thomas, which already clinched the MIAC regular-season championship and top seed in the five-team postseason, improved to 20-4-0 and 13-2-0 in the MIAC. The Tommies won their sixth game in a row and 22nd of their last 23.
Augsburg dropped to 13-8-3 overall and 9-5-1 in MIAC play, ending a seven-game winning streak. Augsburg has already clinched a spot in the five-team playoffs, but in order to avoid the play-in game between the fifth and fourth seeds, Augsburg must win Saturday's series-ending game at 7 p.m. at the State Fair Coliseum in St. Paul, Minn. The MIAC regular season ends on Saturday.
If the Auggies defeat the Tommies on Saturday, Augsburg will clinch at least a third-place conference finish and advance directly to the conference playoff tournament March 1-2 at the Schwan's SuperRink in Blaine, Minn. Should Augsburg lose or tie on Saturday, it would play in the play-in game either as a fourth or fifth seed, depending on the outcome of Saturday's St. Mary's at Concordia-Moorhead game.
Both teams scored a shorthanded and power-play goal to achieve the 2-2 tie after two periods. Anthony Blumer scored a shorthanded, unassisted goal 7:16 into the game, but the Auggies' Jake Wegscheider tied the game on a power-play goal just 1:17 later.
Wegscheider scored his second goal of the game on a shorthanded tally at the 15-minute mark of the first period, and Dustan Lick tied the game for the Tommies on a power-play goal early in the second period. St. Thomas goalie Bob Tallarico made 32 saves to pick up the win. Augsburg goalie Peter Samargia made 33 saves in a losing effort. St. Thomas outshot Augsburg by a 37-35 margin.

We got up to the last section before the chains in about an hour and then proceeded to make the second acsent of the day. I know this because there was only one set of foot prints in the snow ahead of me. It was sunny by the time I got to the top and the snow was melting with made the decent better. Absolutley amazing views from the top. Got to be some of the best in the world.

I know this because there was only one set of foot prints in the snow ahead of me. It was sunny by the time I got to the top and the snow was melting with made the decent better. Absolutley amazing views from the top. Got to be some of the best in the world.

|Did this as part of a 4 day whirlwind southern Utah/northern Arizona hiking trip. Great hike with fantastic views and nice exposure. Not too keen on the paved trail, though, and I can't say this is a good place for solitude. There were probably 15-20 on the summit with me, and traffic jams all up and down the class 3 portion. And this was a Weds. Overall though, I highly recommend this as a quick (took me 2.5 hrs) way to get a bird's eye view of an amazing canyon.

|Great hike - shame there are so many other people on it though. Nice exposure near the end and several in my wife's family stopped, leaving my wife and I to continue. On the way down I ran into someone I knew from high school - 12 years earlier in Texas. That has to be my most random encounter on a trail.

|An amazing stop on a solo cross-country drive back from Death Valley to Colorado. Froze my butt in the empty campground the night before and really enjoyed the strenuous climb to warm up in the morning. The chains were great fun - reminded me of Old Rag in Virginia. This is one of those deeply amazing places in southern Utah that makes you feel more alive just being there.

|Last peak on a road trip around the country. We're almost back to California. One of the most spectacular views we saw throughout the entire trip. Looking down Zion valley was like looking into a prehistoric time where the land created life and not the other way around.

|Quite a few times
|Angels Landing was the first of the more than 130 different Zion summits I've attained over the years.
One of the best hikes around. Did it most interestingly in Aug 2003 in heavy rain and high winds. What a rush!
-3rd time: in fall 2008 with DB, Tom Jones and Andy Archibald;
-4th time: in March 2009, as the 5th peak of the day
(25 minutes roundtrip from Scout Lookout, despite the crowds, and without using my hands!);
-5th time: 6/13/09 - wrapping up a 17-mile/4,400 foot roundtrip jaunt up to the West Rim highpoint atop Horse Pasture Plateau.

I wonder how long it'll take for the first buyer of this contraption to get himself inextricably lodged in the complex intestines of this thing. Maybe there'll be a hilarious lawsuit involved.

Flymake: Configuration error has occurred while running (/usr/bin/coffee /tmp/flymake16162knP.coffee). Flymake will be switched OFF
I had thought that it could not find the coffeescript command so I gave it the full path but as of now I can't get it to work.

After Le Club Energie & Devellopppement event in Paris Tuesday, I had a choice of sitting through the afternoon on renewables or attending the counter-colloquium organised nearby by opponents of shale. Although the actual colloquium on shale involved only four speakers and M. le Depute Gonnot, a five hour multi-participant anti-colloquium was held nearby.
By the time I arrived at the first conference, the hundred or so demonstrators, outnumbered by the police two to one, were being shepherded away. During the shale section, there was an outburst by Marine Jobert, anti-fracktiviste who shouted "Have you seen Gasland " when Bruno Courme of Total described the French shale ban as misinformed. It's early yet, but that one is a finalist for dumbest question of 2012. It's hard to think that the head of global shale would not have seen it.
At the afternoon event I missed the hour of introductory videos but did sit through 90 minutes of presentation on the current state of shale gas. I didn't sit thorough the end of the five hour conference either, I had a train to catch.
It was a disappointment but a revelation as well. If this was the best evidence available, the debate is won already. To this audience, as to many in North America and the UK, it was forever 2009 - the year Gasland was filmed. Five hundred secret chemicals, poisoned water, right wing conspiracy and that was only when they were talking about shale. The audience was told how bad the tar sands are for example. I agree, but it has nothing to do with shale gas. To then go and talk about drilling for gas in the arctic made this clear: any natural gas from anywhere was the enemy.The only concession to recent times was of course a citation of the Howarth Report that said coal is worse than gas. Even the UK Tyndall Centre has dropped Howarth recently, but not in Paris.
I was quite frankly disappointed: I know France reasonably well and in the land of Descartes and Pasteur and Curie I would have expected a little more Cartesian logic. I'm the guy after all who quoted Voltaire to the UK Parliament Shale Committee report: We mustn't make the perfect (80% renewables by 2050) the enemy of the good (shale today). But the second tier academics present were rambling, mis-informed and only cited hearsay evidence no stronger than US opponents: My friend from Quebec told me this, I used to be chemist (in pharmaceuticals, not petro chemistry), someone I met from New York told me etc etc.
But as we see from some of the opponents in Blackpool, Balcombe or Bulgaria possession of the facts is not important - its the narrative that counts. The audience was very engaged and fired up but this emotion is their weakness: Opposition is based on their narrative. Start deconstructing it and they're high and dry.
The meeting confirmed my suspicion that the opposition in France has always been overstated. It's broad, but it is not deep. An application of facts, combined with a postive economic story from the US now too powerful to ignore, can provide realistic balance.
Let's recall again that the French shale ban is cited by opponents throughout the world, but when people will say publicly what they've been telling me since last May, i.e. it was a mistake based on a failure of communication it shows that the ban will be overcome slowly but surely. It's worth noting that's close to the words the CEO of Total told a Belgian paper today "the debate is sure to evolve".
But the key reason why the French anti-shale debate will fail is complex, political and certain. The opposition is very much nimby based. The meeting confirmed what I have suspected from French TV reports, visits to sites like Schiste Happens and press photographs. This is a Not Under My BackYard movement overwhelmingly supported by the old and the incomers. And as someone in Poland recently noted you waste a lot of time trying to counter their arguments. Incomers or weekend residents which make up lots of the upstate New York and PA opposition confuse the issue by endlessly repeating the same tired old objections even when they know themselves it's not correct. This confuses shale supporters because although enviromental groups often do have legitimate concerns, we must come to a conclusion:
Older incomers or weekend/vacation residents will be impossible to convince for the very good reason that they do not wish to be convinced. The entire reason that they find their area attractive is that they want no development at all. To many people any change at all is a change for the worse. That type of person is often fairly well off, or old and set in their ways or both.
But moving from sociology to psychology here, the industry can't win with this group because they are not being honest with themselves. The generation in their sixties and seventies today is the one that grew up with Elvis and Dylan. They could never admit to themselves that they are actually selfish! Naturally, they would never admit it to anyone else either.
Now I'm no spring poulet myself, so let me explain. I spent a year in university in France in the 1970's and for anyone expecting long skirted ecologist hippy girls demonstrating on Tuesday I would say that was only partly right.The hippy girls were there, but they were the same ones of the seventies, along with me. Both of us older, rarely wiser and some well preserved, some not so well. I spent time not only in Paris but further south in places like Montpellier and some sections of the Ardeche. Most of the original Ardeche population of peasants moved to Paris years ago, as people from Bradford County PA moved to Florida but in far greater numbers. Underpopulation is a key problem in both areas. Some parts of rural France are now dominated by a combination of hippies who found property at give away prices forty years ago and a small group of old timers very attached to the land emotionally. They were joined by retirees who were comfortably well off but not comfortably well enough off that they could live on the Riviera or the tonier parts of Provence or Tuscany. Just as in upstate PA or Pennsylvania many of the retirees are people who didn't want to move to Florida but couldn't afford to move to Cape Cod or Great Barrington or Vermont.
This over sixties/left over from nineteen sixties cluster made up 80% of the Tuesday audience. For such a broad objection to shale that it was banned I would have expected not only more of the young; but I also didn't see two key groups in any French debate: Where were the trade unions? And, where were the black, Asian and North African communities?
The shale industry can only offer reassurance to the bruised egos of the opponents who have turned into reactionary nimbys but who are simply not honest enough to admit it.
We can assure people but not always can we win them over.The industries actions will be stronger than words, and need to be scrupously honest. But the task is being made much more difficult by opponents not being honest with themselves.

The line opens with Tech -16.
Printable View
The line opens with Tech -16.
Wow. That is large. I was thinking 10ish.
Doesn't surprise me. I expect ISU to cover, I haven't been very impressed with Tech so far this year. I think Wally will devise a good game plan to at least keep it close.
Take the points. Too easy.
First time this year I'd comfortably bet on isu
Exact same spread as last time Cyclones went to Lubbock.... Iowa State won 41-7.
Texas Tech beat SMU, SF Austin, TCU, Texas State, and Kansas.
Those 5 teams have a combined 10 wins. 6 of those are against FCS opponents and TCU played SMU, so one of those teams had to win.
Those stats are even worse than I thought they would be.
This line is going to move hard towards ISU.
ISU not only covers, but I'm predicting a win.
I've just watched a little of Tech this year, but I thought their back-up has looked better than Mayfield from the very small sample size I have seen
ISU will be ready to bounce back from a frustrating loss, and has a history of playing well in Tejas. TxT, on the other hand is coming off an easy win at KU that doesn't provide a real measuring stick.
The league's first millennial coach is riding high in the saddle after 5 nice wins. They are ranked at home versus a 1-3 team and everyone expects them to just strut out there and fire up the old pin ball machine. But it just doesn't work that way in this league.
In the end, I'd lay money on ISU due to the edge in coaching. Age and treachery wins out over youth and exuberance every time( I think Ben Franklin said that ... :pcute:) .
The Cyclones have the team speed and coaching guile to keep this game a whole lot closer than 16 points. The real key is to get past the Texas loss and not allow it to become 2 losses.
If I win my bet with the Chiefs today, I will be playing this one as well.
16 wow! What is the spread going to be for Baylor?

Sendor plays art-world Time Lord, with realist paintings that depict imaginary art installations from the future, created during the 2020s and '30s.

Chatting with performing artists is always an enjoyable experience. Charles Barksdale will appear in Sister Act, at the Fox Theatre, April 23-28. He performed in several locations Nationwide and made his Canadian Concert debut in November of 2011. He studied Vocal Performance and Music Education at the University of Texas at San Antonio. He has performed on the Operatic and Musical Theatre stages and is currently an avid performer on both. Some of his favorite Operatic roles include Eisenstein (Die Fledermaus), Peter (Hansel & Gretel), and the title role in The Marriage of Figaro.
Denise Harper: Tell me about yourself and your background.
Charles Barksdale: I am a Texan!!! Born and raised in San Antonio. I studied the arts starting at around 7 years old when my grandmother began teaching me piano. I started playing the viola at age 10 and continued that through college. I really started singing and dancing in High School at my performing arts magnet school and was finding success in both instrumental and vocal music. I chose to go to college for vocal because it was more fun, and I figured I'd have more opportunities to dance!
DH: Tell me about your character in Sister Act.
CB: I play "TJ". He is one of the thugs that is chasing after Deloris however, he is just so gosh darn lovable. He is the Nephew of Curtis, Deloris' married, bad guy, murderer boyfriend and he is a giant kid a heart.
DH: Is your character like you in any way?
CB: In a lot of ways yes. He believes in the good in people but also knows what he has to do to survive. I like to think that "TJ" is stuck at 12 years old mentally and just really likes to laugh and have fun, while still trying to learn and grow.
DH: When was the first time you discovered the arts? You know, that ah ha moment.
CB: Christmastime growing up. My little sister and I would make up little songs and dances and perform them for all of our Aunts and Uncles. My brain has just been geared towards music and dance from a very early age. I had always listened to all types of music and just found myself always wanting to know more; how it was produced and how "I could do that too!" (My childhood motto.)
DH: When did you discover your passion for theater and dance?
CB: The summer before my freshman year at the performing arts magnet school, the musical Cinderella with Brandy, Whitney Houston, and Whoopi Goldberg come on television and I was smitten!!!! I loved the music and characters and the grandness of it all and I must have watched it 2 dozen times that summer. When I got to the High School, the big musical that year was... CINDERELLA! I just knew I had to audition. I did, and the dance, theatre, and choir directors all approached me about being in their classes. So, I joined all of them in addition to playing in the Orchestra, and I was hooked in stage performing ever since.
DH: Have you done any other productions?
CB: Oh yes. Opera, Off Broadway, and many regional productions including my favorite performance, Jimmy Early in Dreamgirls. Sister Act is my First National Tour and I plan to do more. I love touring! I'm also a Director, Choreographer, Music Director and a Voice teacher. Interesting fact, I was the last person to work with Sherman Hemsley before his death. I directed and performed alongside him in Ain't Misbehavin' in San Antonio in February of 2012. I love Opera and plan on continuing a career in both. Musical Theatre feeds my senses and Opera feeds my soul. :)
DH: Tell me about a typical day in the life of Charles on the road.
CB: I typically don't have much to do but do the show in the evenings so my day time during the week is wide open. I'll usually explore whatever city we are in and work on my Instagram photo map a bit. I like taking photos. I also started writing songs and let the different cities inspire me. I'll do a concert of the songs I've written in NYC in September and call it "Songs From the Road" or something like that.
DH: There are so many young people who aspire to be where you are. Do you have any words for young people who aspire to become a part of the theatre?
CB: Absolutely. Learn all you can! From teachers, T.V., movies, plays and musicals, from YouTube.... knowing all that you can will only help you feel confident and prepared. Confidence and Preparation is Key. Lots of people say this business or industry is all about luck and in a way this is true, but luck has a way of favoring the prepared. Be Prepared, and be Good. Not only at just what you do, but also to everyone around you.
DH: Thanks for the interview Charles. I know the show is going to be great!
Thanks for interviewing me. I can't wait to get to Atlanta and see all of my favorite Cousins. Please feel free to view my website.
SISTER ACT will play April 23- 28 at the Fox Theatre. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 6:30 p.m. with matinees Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. For more information contact the fabulous Fox Theatre Box Office.

How absolutely adorable is this nursery belonging to little Wren?! Her parents are Holly & Sean of the blog Life in the Fun Lane. Go here to check out the before images of the nursery, and some more beautiful after pics too! Of course I'm madly in love with all the pom poms (a Martha Stewart kit from Michaels!) and the cozy Rachel Ashwell tie-dye bedding. The "Dream" garland being held up by doves is such a special touch too. And LOVE the floor (especially with all the white). This couple has such a beautiful home, so make sure to check out their blog!
I'm off to visit my family and celebrate my grandma's 89th birthday this weekend, so not sure if I'll be posting on Monday. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! :)

What a breathtaking bedroom! I'm usually a fan of light, easy-breezy bedrooms, but this one designed by Nicholas Haslam is just beautiful. I absolutely love the headboard, the grasscloth covering the walls and the fabric on all the furniture. Thanks to The Newlywed Diaries for discovering more images of the room for us to drool over!

Cute and Colorful Kitchen
I've posted a picture of this Coastal Living kitchen before, but it looks a lot different in this image. I love the checkerboard painted floor combined with the yellow on the bistro chairs and the blue ceiling. And of course all the little touches of color all over the room. Perfection in my book!

On Friday Freckles Chick published a fantastic post full of beautiful canopy beds. I LOVE canopy beds, so I thought it was a delicious post! This striking room above was part of her collection, and was also posted last month by High-Heeled Foot in the Door who had recently discovered the designer Kim Coleman. So now you must hop over to visit Freckles Chick to see lots more canopy beds, and High-Heeled Foot in the Door to see the rest of this South Hampton home!

We investigate both the simple and scientific ways we can all continue to buck the trend and live well beyond "expectancy." Read our 12 easy strategies to live to 100 and thrive while doing so
Living to a ripe old age has many meanings. For someone born 100 years ago, it most likely meant making it past 50. Over the years that have followed, that figure has jumped: someone born in 1940 could expect to live to 62, while someone born in 1961 could look forward to hitting 68. What? 68? It just so happens that quite a few of us who were born in either 1940 or 1961 expect to live much longer than that. So, what gives?
In Canada, the average life expectancy for males born in 2012 is 80 and for females 84, according to the World Health Organization in its World Health Statistics 2014 report.
"The United Nations and other government organizations expect this trend to continue," says Zoomer contributing expert Dr. Zachary Levine. "As people live longer, they also remain vital and productive for many more years than previously."
RELATED POST: Will you outlive your money?
According to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Americans 85 and over are that country's fastest growing group of older adults. Statistics Canada notes similar findings: in 2006, more than half a million Canadians were aged 85 and older, a 25 per cent increase from 2001. Moreover, 22 per cent more were hitting the 100-year mark than did five years earlier.
Researchers at Harvard found that among a test group of 2,357 men in their early 70s who were followed for 25 years or until death, about 40 per cent survived to age 90. The odds, once you're a nonagenarian, are in your favour, with some scientists estimating a one-in-nine chance you'll make the century mark. The U.S. Census Bureau says that by the time the boomer generation reaches 100, there will be more than four million centenarians in that country. And ladies? According to experts south of the border, at 95, the fairer sex's life expectancy is 21 per cent higher than that of a man's. The same trends have been found right here at home.

Kharkiv's mayor is shot in the back while he cycles, as a fresh round of sanctions against Moscow is agreed by the US and the EU.
19:32, UK, Monday 28 April 2014
The pro-Russian mayor of Ukraine's second biggest city, Kharkiv, has been shot and injured in an attack set to further inflame tensions as the West ramps up sanctions on Moscow.
Gennady Kernes, 54, is in a serious condition in hospital after being hit while riding his bicycle on a route he regularly takes, according to a local government spokesman.
His bodyguards following in a car were not close enough to intervene, she said.
He is accused by the government in Kiev of promoting separatism by demanding independence when pro-Russian protesters seized administrative buildings.
They were ousted this month by Ukrainian forces, making Kharkiv the only major eastern city to have been taken taken back from the armed protesters, demanding a referendum to break away.
The shooting is likely to heighten the continuing Cold War-style stand-off between Western powers and Russia.
The US and European Union agreed to impose further sanctions against Russia over what they claim to be Moscow's failure to de-escalate the crisis in Ukraine, after a deal was reached in Geneva aimed at defusing tensions.
EU governments are to impose asset freezes and visa bans on 15 more people.
And the US said sanctions will be extended to seven Russian government officials and 17 companies linked to President Vladimir Putin.
A White House statement said: "Russia's involvement in the recent violence in eastern Ukraine is indisputable."
One of those people on the US sanctions list is Igor Sechin, head of Russia's major oil company Rosneft and a close ally of Mr Putin.
America has also imposed restrictions on export licences for hi-tech equipment.
But Mr Putin has said Russia would be able to replace with its own products any defence industry imports lost through sanctions.
Foreign Secretary William Hague has told Sky News that plans are also being made for wider trade sanctions, saying the damage to the British economy would be a "price worth paying".
Pro-Russian separatists continue to hold seven European monitors in the the eastern Ukraine city of Sloviansk.
And gunmen are still occupying government buildings in a dozen cities across the east of the country, and the regional TV and radio headquarters in Donetsk have been taken.
Meanwhile, Royal Air Force jets have been deployed to defend Baltic air space as part of Nato's response to the Ukraine crisis. France is also sending four aircraft.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said four Typhoon fighters had now been sent to the region.
Mr Hammond said: "Britain must continue to play its part in standing up to Russia's actions, pressing for Russia to change course, and helping the Ukrainian people in their hour of need."

A Young Boy's Journey with Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Pediatric Specialists Help Five-Year-Old Manage Rare Allergic Inflammatory Disease
Even when Drew Mastrino has stomach pain all morning, he is anxious to go outside and play with his buddies. His parents, Kristina and Andrew Mastrino, worry but let their five-year-old son run off to the park.
"He'll say 'I can get past this because Batman can,'" Kristina Mastrino said, explaining that Drew often draws on the strength of his favorite superhero to help him cope with his struggles related to eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
EoE (formerly called EE) is an allergic reaction to food that results in chronic inflammation and swelling in the esophagus. It occurs when a food allergy causes an excessive amount of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) to infiltrate the tube that brings food from the mouth to the stomach. Symptoms include difficulty swallowing, choking, abdominal pain, vomiting and weight loss. Because these symptoms can come on slowly and are similar to ones seen in other gastrointestinal disorders, eosinophilic esophagitis often takes a long time to diagnose. When the diagnosis is reached, the condition requires lifelong symptom management.
Helping Drew and his family manage his EoE is a team of pediatric specialists at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital that includes an allergist/immunologist, a gastroenterologist and a dietitian.
Drew first came to Comer Children's as a baby for treatment of intestinal intussusception, a serious condition in which one part of the intestine "telescopes" into another. Exploratory surgery for the recurring disorder revealed enlarged lymph nodes, suggesting a problem in his digestive system. At the same time, Drew's parents observed worrisome signs in their young son such as refusal to eat some foods, reflux and frequent vomiting. Doctors here suspected EoE.
Pediatric allergist/immunologist Raoul Wolf, MD, did skin testing on the toddler. While this type of allergy testing is not conclusive for EoE patients, it is an important first step in diagnosing the disease. "Allergists play a supportive role in the initial management of EoE," Wolf said. "Our findings help narrow the list of possible allergens."
Timothy Sentongo, MD, a specialist in pediatric gastrointestinal problems that affect growth and nutrition, performed an endoscopy in June 2011. While Drew was sedated, Sentongo inserted an endoscope through his mouth and into his digestive tract. In addition to visually checking for inflammation and other signs of EoE, he took a small tissue sample from his esophagus. A biopsy showed extremely high levels of eosinophils in the tissue. "This confirmed the diagnosis," Sentongo said.
Eliminating Allergic Triggers
Identifying the foods responsible for EoE through an "elimination diet" is the first phase in designing a dietary therapy, the only known treatment for the disease. During this trial, the six food groups that trigger most allergies in EoE -- dairy, wheat, soy, eggs, nuts and fish -- are eliminated and then individually reintroduced in small amounts over time. Two months after each food is added back in the diet, an endoscopy is repeated to check for inflammation and the presence of eosinophils. If the levels of the white blood cells are high, a patient is allergic; if levels are low, the food can safely remain in the diet.
Pediatric dietitian Lara Field, MS, RD, guided the Mastrinos during the elimination diet process. She counseled the Naperville family on how to avoid nutritional deficiencies, outlining suitable food substitutions and giving tips on reading food labels to avoid accidental ingestion. "My job is to educate the family and help them navigate an allergen-free diet," Field said. "It's a lot to follow. It takes patience to get accustomed to new foods but eventually it becomes second nature for many families."
"It's a journey for Drew and his family," Sentongo added. "We do everything we can to reduce his symptoms, to keep him growing and to help his parents manage the disease."
Moving Forward
By winter 2012, Drew's parents had some answers. Their son tolerated nuts and wheat, while soy, dairy and eggs increased eosinophils levels in his esophagus and triggered allergic reactions. They decided to hold off on the fish trial; it isn't a food group that interests Drew. Kristina Mastrino says they see progress and are getting the condition under control. Still, it's difficult for the preschooler when he has to skip the snacks and treats served at school. He wishes he could eat dairy, telling his mom. "I'll get it back someday." Although he doesn't vomit anymore, he still experiences stomach pain and choking.
These challenges will probably bring more trips to Comer Children's, although maybe fewer and further between. "Of course we don't like being at the hospital," said Kristina Mastrino, "but I do feel like Comer has become a second home to us. We have such good doctors and the nursing staff is great. And they always remember us when we come. We have a heart for Comer."
The family hopes and prays that awareness and research will bring a cure for the disease. Soon after she received Drew's diagnosis, Kristina Mastrino founded an EoE support group in the Chicago area that now meets regularly. This past summer, her family and friends hosted a festival in Naperville to raise money and awareness of the disease. Proceeds went to CURED, an organization that supports research in eosinophilic disease.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis Research: Looking for Answers
Although still considered rare, doctors are seeing more and more cases of eosinophilic esophagitis. Through basic and clinical research, scientists around the country are working to understand the underlying mechanisms of EoE and to improve therapy for the debilitating disease.
In an ongoing study at the University of Chicago Medicine, pediatric gastroenterologist and researcher, Tiffany Patton, MD, examines the good and the bad bacteria that live in both a normal esophagus and in one affected by eosinophilic esophagitis. To collect the bacteria, Patton joins Sentongo in the endoscopy suite when he performs a procedure on a patient with faint or active symptoms. Sentongo swabs the lining of the patient's esophagus with a soft brush and hands it to Patton. She walks it back to her lab where the samples are stored and processed for research.
"The bacteria appear to be dissimilar," said Patton, who has been collecting and studying samples for the past two years. "If we find even subtle differences, this information could help us direct therapy for the disease."
In addition, pediatric gastroenterologists at Comer Children's collect data on every patient, tracking patterns, studying growth issues and looking at how different individuals respond to treatment.
"We are trying to find answers for EoE," said Patton. "And we are looking for better ways to diagnose and control this serious disorder."

Alltel Samsung Gem runs Android 2.1, is free on contract
Alltel has announced the Samsung Gem today. This is a midrange smartphone running Android 2.1, and was first seen all the way back in August of last year alongside the Samsung Fascinate for Verizon. Since then, it's appeared in a Best Buy guide, also with Verizon branding. And it's been officially unveiled by Samsung in January, but without an agreement with a carrier, strangely.
Well now this phone is finally going to be pushed by a carrier – Alltel, that is. The Samsung Gem can be yours for free (after a $50 mail-in rebate) if you choose to sign a new two-year service agreement. It's available right now in Alltel retail outlets.
The Samsung Gem has an 800 MHz processor, a 3.2-megapixel camera, 3G, Wi-Fi (with hotspot capability), Bluetooth, GPS, a microSD card slot, and 124 MB of internal memory.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – New research reveals that eating foods that contain Solanaceae, a flowering plant family with some species producing foods that are edible sources of nicotine, like peppers and tomatoes, may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's.
Dr. Susan Searles Nielsen and colleagues from the University of Washington in Seattle recruited 490 patients who were newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Questionnaires were used to assess participants' diet and tobacco use. They found that vegetable consumption in general did not affect Parkinson's disease risk. However, as consumption of edible Solanaceae increased, Parkinson's disease risk decreased. Peppers displayed the strongest association.

Mt. Juliet Christian named the school's fifth head football coach Monday night.
Dan Davis who has spent the last nine seasons at Pearl Cohn was introduced as the Saints new head man.
Davis replaces Jake Roberts who resigned in February to take an assistant coaches job at Karns.
The Saints who compete in Division II-A are coming off a 3-7 season and Roberts was 5-15 in his two seasons there.
"We are excited to have hired a coach of such great experience, knowledge and commitment," MJCA Athletic Director Paul Christensen said.
"We cannot wait to see what the future holds for our football program and I am confident that we have found the right man to get this job done and done well."
Davis has coached nearly every position at Pearl Cohn serving as the team's offensive and special teams coordinator, as well as coaching linebackers, running backs and both offensive and defensive lines.
He has also served as the Cobras
strength and conditioning coach and was the head freshman coach as well.
Davis started his coaching career at Glencliff where he coached the Colts offensive and defensive lines for two years before moving on to Pearl Cohn.
After graduating from Rufus King High school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Davis accepted a scholarship to play both football and golf at Tennessee State.
He will teach History at MJCA and is very active in local politics as he is the 1st Vice Chair of the Republican Party in Nashville.
Currently there are open jobs at Morristown East, Cascade, Mt. Pleasant and Dresden as schools currently looking for a head coach.

Tiffani Eaton has her job back after being fired on May 1 for using a broom to break up a fight the day before. The incident occurred at Pershing High School in Detroit. Tiffani Eaton, 30, witnessed a physical fight between two ninth graders and did the only thing she could think of to stop them: She grabbed a broom and started swinging. According to USA Today, Eaton was promptly fired which left several people scratching their heads.
Fortunately Tiffani Eaton didn't have to wait long to hear her ultimate fate. She was offered a choice in conjunction with her job back and retroactive pay. The Education Achievement Authority of Michigan told Eaton that she could have her job back at Pershing High School or she could opt to work at a different school in the district.
Tiffani Eaton is happy to have her job back as she didn't feel as though she did anything wrong -- and neither did the school's principal:
"I believe that the Pershing High teacher was illegally fired. She appeared by video to be physically intervening, risking injury to herself, to protect the safety of students, as school policies require of her," explained Principal Gregory King in an emailed statement.
Many students supported the decision to bring Eaton back to the staff but others had mixed feelings about what happened during the April 30 fight. Some believe that Eaton resorted to violence and that she shouldn't have used a broom to strike the students involved in the fight. Eaton claimed that her walkie-talkie -- which would have been used to alert a security guard -- was her first option but she decided to grab the broom when the electronic device failed to work. What do you think? Was Eaton in the wrong for using a broom to break up the fight?
Regardless, Tiffani Eaton has her job back and she has the support of the school's principal as well as others in the community. Check out the video above for the original story.

Recent terror plots may mean stricter carry-on regulations, but packing for your travels does not have to become the dreaded deed. Some companies' mission to lighten your load has started a trend: Shipping what would be in your carry-on bag and/or luggage to your cruise stateroom or hotel room before you arrive.
CruiseShippers, for example, will pick your bags up from your home and ship them directly to your cruise stateroom via FedEx with a tracking number. All cruise lines do accept shipped luggage through the port authorities and stevedores. Although they used to charge by pound for each bag a customer would have shipped, they are now in the midst of creating categories -- such as small, duffel and large -- with base prices to give the customer the greater advantage (how many must-have gadgets can you squeeze into one bag?).
Another benefit? Without airports' long lines and weight restrictions, cruisers can now pack everything they need, including the extra scuba gear or golf clubs for shore excursions, without facing possible airline penalties.
Liquid ban or no liquid ban, if you simply can't leave home without your medicine cabinet or favorite fat-free salad dressing, Minimus.biz will ship what can't go into your carry-on bag to your home before your cruise, or your hotel room -- which is great news for cruise passengers who like to arrive in port the day before their ship departs. With more than 1,000 products, travelers can find most anything they want, from Crest to Kikkoman soy sauce to Tide detergent, all in a one-stop shop with free shipping on orders over $20.
Their most recent surge in specialty items since the thwarted terror plot in London has been liquid products in wipe form like bug repellant and shoe shine. Toothpaste and deodorant wipes are next on their list.

Nashville is a musical mecca not to mention a foodie's heaven. A trip to the Grand Ole Opry and the plethora of BBQ joints will prove that. But there is more to offer than just blues and BBQ when it comes to this soulful city. The Southern hospitality can be felt nearly everywhere you walk and there is something for everyone within blocks of each other.
Broadway is where the buzz is. As visitors walk down what's known as "The District," they will be followed by sounds of live music and smells of BBQ streaming out of nearly every door. For no frills BBQ, Jack's is the place to go. Its Broadway location has additional upstairs and patio seating for eaters to dig into a plate of brisket, ribs or pulled pork, plus sides like the comforting mac and cheese.
Further down Broadway, Honky Tonk Central sits on the corner and looms three stories high. Local acts cover all country music with added flair from the performers and a fun environment where locals and tourists alike are invited to raise their drinks in a traditional "holler and swaller." Drink of choice here would be the Key Lime Pie drink made with whipped cream vodka and the snack of choice has to be the fried pickles.
Just a few blocks off the main drag are main attractions such as the Country Music Hall of Fame, Bridgestone Arena where the Nashville Predators play, and the Johnny Cash Museum. For a fulfilling breakfast, step into Kitchen Notes located inside the Omni Hotel for a full-range buffet that includes a homemade biscuit bar complete with jams, jellies, and gravy.
For other cool places worth a stop, head to Third Man Records owned by recording artist Jack White where they host live recordings of shows. Craft breweries like Blackstone and Black Abbey Brewing Co. abound in Nashville with Nashville Brew Bus setting up tours to breweries run by people who really know and love their beer. Gruhn Guitars is a place for musician lovers to go to revel in all the guitars, banjos and mandolins their hearts desire. Right down from this storefront is The Smiling Elephant, an excellent, out-of-the-way Thai food place.
Whether it's for a weekend getaway, a bachelorette party or a trip to awaken your musical and culinary senses, Nashville is a fantastic spot to add to your travel adventures.
Travel tip: Stay in a hotel close to the airport to be more cost effective, take Uber to the main areas and walk around the city.
