Be a Good Guide
October 14, 2008
A good guide earns a horse's respect by reassuring the horse and inspiring his trust.
Your horse is relaxed and receptive when he has found and understands his role in your relationship. Horses know how to recognize a good guide, and they are happy to follow.
If your horse is displaying negative behavior, take a look at your leadership style.
In most cases, a horse's negative behavior is caused by:
- Lack of trust and confidence: If your horse is afraid, help him. Break up an exercise so he can understand it and succeed in doing it. It's useless to ask him to do too much too quickly. Exercises must be done according to the horse's unique rhythm, not at the speed you prefer. Help the horse where he is, not where you want him to be.
- Lack of respect: Respect must be earned. The horse must know who is in charge, which he will learn from your attitude and not from brutality. This lesson can be made easier by the fact that you can control all parts of his body. Use exercises from AQHA's Fundamentals of Horsemanship books to help inspire your horse's respect by teaching him to respond to your requests with consideration and not fear.
- Loss of connection/deterioration of the bond: Contact and connections are not only physical. Whenever you interact with your horse, you need to be really present. The link between you and your horse goes beyond the physical – it is also mental and emotional. If you don't take control of the situation, he will.
Learn more ways to address your horse's negative behavior. Get AQHA's Fundamentals of Horsemanship. AQHA members get a discount.
Earning Respect
Difficult horses often lack both trust and respect. Fear makes them want to escape from what they feel to be danger. This reaction can have serious consequences, such as pushing, knocking over the handler or kicking.
Your horse must learn to respect your personal space. By controlling his movements, you'll let him know who's leading the dance.
A series of exercises will teach you how to move your horse. You must control his forequarters in order not to be pushed, and his hindquarters in order not to be kicked. This procedure affects not only the horse's physical behavior, but also his mental and emotional state.
Tiring the horse out and concentrating only on the physical aspect can have adverse effects over time. The horse must gain confidence and respect before we can pay more attention to his physical development.
Learn more about improving your horse's confidence and gaining his respect. AQHA's Fundamentals of Horsemanship books are the industry's newest comprehensive teaching tools. AQHA members get a discount on these incredible educational materials.

Mayock: UM underclassmen will be disappointed with draft results
NOTE: Anthony Chiang spoke with NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock on Thursday and asked him about Miami's draft hopefuls. Chiang wrote this blog entry on Mayock's assessments.
CORAL GABLES — The Miami Hurricanes could have nine or more former players taken in next week's draft, but NFL Network's Draft analyst Mike Mayock believes some of them might not be happy with where they are selected.
Mayock said the five underclassmen that opted to leave the University of Miami early to enter the 2012 NFL Draft are "going to be disappointed by where they go in the draft."
"From my perspective, all of them could have been high, high draft picks a year from now had they stayed in school and become better players," he said. "And I don't know anything about their personal situations, and I'm not making any judgments on that. I'm saying purely from a football perspective, I think they all would have helped themselves had they stayed in school."
In particular out of that group, Mayock has defensive tackle Marcus Forston waiting until the third day to be drafted, 6-foot-5 wide receiver Tommy Streeter "probably going to go in the fourth round," and offensive lineman Brandon Washington as a "fourth or fifth-round guy."
However, the other two underclassmen that left UM could go pretty high in the draft, according to Mayock. He predicts that defensive end Olivier Vernon and running back Lamar Miller will be drafted in the second or third round.
"I think the guy that's rising the fastest is Olivier Vernon," Mayock said.
Like ESPN NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay, Mayock thinks Vernon can play both defensive end and outside linebacker at the pro level.
If the underclassmen would have returned to play for the Hurricanes next season, Mayock believes that they would have made big improvements in their second year with coach Al Golden.
"The reality is with Al Golden as a new coach, he has a different system and this talent would have gotten better had it stayed," he said. "I'm a believer in Al Golden and I think the Miami Hurricanes are in good hands."

Can a Japanese Cloth Company Make Drugs? FDA Says Yes
What kind of company gets a drug through the FDA? If you're a Japanese company, it seems to help if your main business isn't prescription pharmaceuticals.
Perusing the list of FDA new drug approvals from Washington Analysis, we found four that originated in the labs of Japanese companies. A new drug for gout came from Teijin, a major textile maker. (Teijin licensed U.S. rights to Takeda.)
The Otsuka group of companies, best known in some circles as the maker of the Pocari Sweat sports drink, came up with approval for a niche product for certain patients with low sodium levels in plasma.
Then there's Kowa, which won approval for a cholesterol-lowering statin called Livalo. We're somewhat at a loss to describe its core business. Its Web site mentions professional broadcasting equipment, apparel, textiles, home fashion, "bioarchitectural research" and a few other areas in addition to medicines.
Less successful at getting drugs through the FDA were the pharmaceutical giants that spend billions of dollars each year for precisely that purpose. Pfizer and Merck were among the big names that struck out for the year. That's food for thought as the pharma industry tries to survive a wave of patent expirations and growth in U.S. prescription-drug spending slows sharply.
To be sure, some of the bigger names did get new drugs through the FDA in 2009, including Tokyo's Daiichi-Sankyo, which won approval for the clot-buster Effient (co-marketed with Eli Lilly).

The Lexington Hustlers have added seven more to their 2011 roster, head coach Bobby Wright announced Tuesday. All seven players are native Kentuckians, including last year's Mr. Baseball J.T. Riddle and ace pitchers Brandon Boling and Tanner Perkins, both of whom played for Lexington in its inaugural season last year.
"We've stuck to our initial goals of having an extremely athletic and versatile roster, and it's obvious that all of these guys fit that mold," said Wright. "We're also excited about the quality of individuals that we're bringing into the Hustlers family... It's going to be an outstanding summer."
Here are the seven most recent signees:
Brandon Boling
Sophomore RHP
6'4, 190 pounds
Lexington, Ky.

Brandon Brian
Sophomore C/OF
6'4, 175 pounds

Florence, Ky.
Two-time Enquirer first team all-star and NKySportsBlog Player of the Year Award winner was also a 45th round selection by the Chicago White Sox in last year's draft
Sam Kidd
Sophomore RHP/OF
6'3, 180 pounds
Hartford, Ky.
A legitimate two-way player, Kidd was a draft pick out of Ohio County High School, chosen in the 39th round by the Philadelphia Phillies... is a switch-hitter that is expected to contribute offensively, defensively, and on the mound for the Wildcats this year
Tanner Perkins
Sophomore LHP
6'3, 190 pounds
Brodhead, Ky.
Western Kentucky
Last year's opening day starter returns to the Hustlers for 2011... started 12 games and went 3-4 as a true freshman for Western Kentucky... went 1-0 in four starts for the Hustlers last summer, averaging nearly seven strikeouts per game
J.T. Riddle
Freshman RHP/IF
6'4, 170 pounds
Frankfort, Ky.
2010 Kentucky High School Mr. Baseball winner was also a 35th-round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox in the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft
Tanner Smith
Freshman OF/1B
6'0, 180 pounds
London, Ky.
Western Kentucky
Powerful left-handed hitter has the ability to play outfield and first base

A Younger Focus for the American Heart Association
In Dr. Fuhrman's books, he points to an emerging body of research showing that the diet of the very young is especially important in determining lifelong health, and the likelihood of getting many kinds of chronic diseaese.
It seems they must be reading some of the same studies at the American Heart Association, because they just announced a new initiative aimed at the very young. Here's how Reuters describes the decision:
Because there is now ample evidence that the process of heart disease begins at a young age, the new guidelines encourage parents and pediatricians to take a "primordial prevention" approach -- taking steps in a child's infancy to prevent heart disease risk factors from developing.
Previous dietary recommendations from AHA were not intended for children under age 2, who need a higher percentage of fat in their diet to support growth. The new guidelines, published online in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation, for the first time provide guidance for the under-2 set.
By no means am I suggesting that these are stolen from the pages of Disease-Proof Your Child. (It is a happy coincidence to find so many different experts agreeing, and in any case there are plenty of differences--for instance Dr. Furhman's book is much more in-depth and includes many more dietary disease prevention techniques.) But anyone who has read Disease-Proof Your Child will recognize almost all of the new AHA pointers, which include:
-feeding breast milk exclusively for the first four to six months and continuing through the first year
-taking care not to overfeed infants
-introducing healthy foods repeatedly even if they are refused at first
-avoiding feed high-calorie, low nutrient foods
-delaying the introduction of juice, and limiting quantities
Dr. Samuel Gidding, who was instrumental in creating the new AHA guidelines, is quoted by Reuters quoting some of Dr. Fuhrman's favorite statistics, including that many toddlers eat no fruit in a typical day, and that french fries are the most commonly consumed vegetables. Like Dr. Fuhrman, Dr. Gidding also asserts that parents must model healthy eating for their children.
Hopefully America is paying attention!
The AHA also have a practical list of ten things parents can do to encourage healthy hearts in their children.

School Food: Making the Grade?
Keeping Junk-Food Out School...ProblemsSo keeping all this in mind, Emily Sweeney of The Boston Globe takes a look at local schools and sees how they're ratcheting up their menus. Here's a bit:
"The nutrition standards would allow only plain bottled water and eight-ounce servings of fruit juice or plain or flavored low-fat milk with up to 170 calories to be sold in elementary and middle schools. High school students could also buy diet soda or, in places like school gyms, sports drinks. Other drinks with as many as 66 calories per eight ounces could be sold in high schools, but that threshold would drop to 25 calories per eight-ounce serving in five years."
School Kids Will Eat Well
"While serving better meals does entail higher labor costs, the study found, that's offset by lower costs for more nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables compared with processed foods. However, many districts need to upgrade their kitchens and train their staff to prepare these foods, the researchers said."
Salad Bar Schools
"According to San Francisco Unified School District, parents and students have been pushing for more fresh food to be available in school lunches, so a pilot program was initiated in three schools last year. The pilot schools performed so well that 15 new schools will have salad bars available this year. Another 10 campuses are expected to open their own salad bars by the end of the school year."
Schools vs. Childhood Obesity
"Fast food, television, soft drinks and a sedentary lifestyle are seen as the main culprits of childhood obesity, and schools -- in the absence of action on the part of families -- are beginning to take a stand."
Free Fruit Fridays
"Australia has its own problems with rising obesity and diabetes, and this fiber-loaded funding is more than just good stuff on Fridays. Premier John Brumby stated the Victorian plan is more comprehensive than a UK free fruit program that resulted in limited impact, per a published study last month in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health."
School Kids Win Better Veggies
"A little boy said, `Anything, anything, I'll even eat broccoli,"' said Connie Duits, the lunch lady. "So that one touched my heart." The children were careful to offer praise as they expressed their concerns."
Shaping Up School Food
"'The alarming increase in childhood obesity rates has galvanized parents and schools across the nation to find ways to improve children's diets and health, and we hope our report will assist that effort,' said Virginia A. Stallings, chair of the committee that prepared the report."
Soda Expelled From Schools
"The deal follows a wave of regulation by school districts and state legislatures to cut back on student consumption of soda amid reports of rising childhood obesity rates. Soda has been a particular target of those fighting obesity because of its caloric content and popularity among children."
WESTON HIGH SCHOOLWell, I'm not exactly seeing drastic improvement here—tea, salt, and deli sandwiches—maybe another school is better. What about this one:
Lunch starts early at Weston High. Every day at 10:15 a.m., the first wave of students swarm into the school's sun-filled cafeteria for their half-hour lunch period. All of the food is cooked in the kitchen, staffed by seven women wearing dark crimson, collared shirts and black aprons. There is a full soup and salad bar, a broad assortment of Celestial Seasonings tea (cinnamon apple, cranberry apple, mint medley, orange and spice, lemon), and a deli where sandwiches are made to order on a variety of breads (multigrain, oat bran, honey oatmeal, and marble rye, to name a few)…
… Students pay $3 for a complete meal. The lunch menu changes every day, and can include a variety of dishes, such as quiche, Asian rice bowls, Normandy vegetables, Parker House rolls, and Cosmic Potatoes (baked potatoes cut into star and moon shapes). On Feb. 29, the featured dessert was "Leap Year cake" - a square piece of fluffy white cake topped with vanilla frosting - and the entree was baked salmon, wild rice, and warm spinach cooked in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
EAST BOSTON HIGH SCHOOLYeah, I'm failing to see the goodness here—pizza bagels, Salisbury steak, and French fries—okay, one last school. Here:
Today, students can choose from five lunches every day. They offer prepackaged Smuckers Uncrustable peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Bagel pizza. Salisbury steak and brown rice. Turkey nuggets. French fries. Fresh tossed salads.
The school's cafeteria staff tries to provide students with home-style cooking. Hall and her team make the salad dressing from scratch, by combining oil, vinegar, sugar, oregano, and garlic. They slice pita bread into triangles, brush them with oil, sprinkle them with oregano and garlic, and bake them in the oven until they are crispy. They prepare other dishes, such as Dominican rice, that often reflect the diverse student body. Sixty percent of East Boston High's enrollment is Hispanic.
FOXBOROUGH HIGH SCHOOLWhat the heck! Sure, the carrots, celery, and broccoli are good, but cheeseburgers, personal pan pizzas, and chicken nuggets. Sorry New England schools, you got more work to do!
The cafeteria at Foxborough High school is staffed by six women, all of whom live in town. The head cook and manager is Nancy Siracusa, a 25-year cafeteria veteran who takes her job seriously, prides herself on the cleanliness of the school kitchen, and doesn't mince her words. "School lunch gets a bad rap," she said, recalling the time she watched a "Dateline" exposé on NBC in which former host Stone Phillips visited school lunchrooms…
…Siracusa and her team cook and serve 600 lunches a day. The meals are served on foam plates and cost $2. They have "Taco Tuesdays" and "Pasta Wednesdays." When the Globe visited March 3, the featured entree consisted of chicken nuggets with dipping sauce, rice pilaf, fresh celery stalks, carrot sticks, broccoli, fresh fruit, and milk. In addition, the staff prepares eight to 10 different hot sandwiches every day including chicken, spicy chicken, hamburgers, and cheeseburgers. They also make miniature, personal pan pizzas.

Opinion 5.051 - Confidentiality of Medical Information Postmortem
All medically related confidences disclosed by a patient to a physician and information contained within a deceased patient's medical record, including information entered postmortem, should be kept confidential to the greatest possible degree. However, the obligation to safeguard patient confidences is subject to certain exceptions that are ethically and legally justifiable because of overriding societal considerations (Opinion 5.05, "Confidentiality"). At their strongest, confidentiality protections after death would be equal to those in force during a patient's life. Thus, if information about a patient may be ethically disclosed during life, it likewise may be disclosed after the patient has died.
Disclosure of medical information postmortem for research and educational purposes is appropriate as long as confidentiality is maintained to the greatest possible degree by removing any individual identifiers. Otherwise, in determining whether to disclose identified information after the death of a patient, physicians should consider the following factors:
(1) The imminence of harm to identifiable individuals or the public health
(2) The potential benefit to at-risk individuals or the public health (eg, if a communicable or inherited disease is preventable or treatable)
(3) Any statement or directive made by the patient regarding postmortem disclosure
(4) The impact disclosure may have on the reputation of the deceased patient
(5) Personal gain for the physician that may unduly influence professional obligations of confidentiality
When a family member or other decision maker has given consent to an autopsy, physicians may disclose the results of the autopsy to the individual(s) that granted consent to the procedure. (IV)

College Hockey:Richards Leads Bulldogs to Tie
MANKATO, Minn. — Alec Richards' second trip home turned out to be better than his first.
Richards, a Robbinsdale, Minnesota native, stopped 44 shots as Yale (3-8-1 overall) tied Minnesota State 2-2 in the first ever meeting for the teams.
"He had a good game. He's a cool cucumber in there for a freshman," said Yale coach Tim Taylor.
"My guys did a good job letting me see the puck and clearing out rebounds if I left them. It was a lot of shots, but it wasn't as difficult as it seemed," Richards said.
In Richards' first trip to his home state on November 25 and 26, the freshman netminder gave up 11 goals on 75 shots in two losses to Minnesota-Duluth.
But with his family occupying a whole box at the Midwest Wireless Civic Center, Richards was able to redeem himself by frustrating the host Mavericks.
"It's always fun coming home and playing," Richards said. "And after the tough weekend in Duluth, it's nice to have a better homecoming."
Richards had just been back home in Minnesota for Christmas before he flew back out to Connecticut to join his team and return to Minnesota.
"It was a lot of traveling," Richards said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Yale got both goals form junior center Brad Mills. The game was just the third Mills has played in this year and the first he finished.
Mills played and scored in the Bulldogs' first game of the year but was injured before the end of the match. He returned in the UMD series, only to be injured again before the end of the game.
Minnesota State (5-11-4 overall) received goals from Ryan Carter and Mick Berge, but the team's goal-scoring woes continued and have become an old story.
MSU coach Troy Jutting felt that, while Richards played well, his team never really challenged the goalie with the 46 shots because most weren't difficult shots.
"Every goalie in the country is going to stop those pucks," Jutting said. "You have to make plays when you have opportunities. We had plenty of opportunities tonight."
Minnesota State has now scored just 2.7 goals over the past 10 games and has tallied more than two goals just three times in that stretch.
"I don't know how to get us out of it right now, but we're going to keep trying," Jutting said.
The Mavericks took an early lead off a spectacular play from Carter. The sophomore carried the puck out of the right corner towards the net. With a defenseman clinging to him, Carter faked Richards to the ice and slid the puck into the far end of the net. Carter's eighth goal of the year came at 2:12 of the first.
Yale was able to answer off a turnover less than three minutes later. Bulldog forward Jean-Francois Boucher stole the puck by knocking MSU defenseman Brian Kilburg to the ice in the Maverick zone. Boucher then found Mills all alone in front of the crease, and Mills put the puck upstairs for his second goal of the season.
"Boucher made a great play," Mills said. "He hit the guy, took him off the puck and hit me right on the tape. I was able to one time it. It was good to get on the score sheet."
A second period would give way to no goals but a few good chances.
Bulldog defenseman Matt Cohen snuck in from the point and ripped a shot that beat MSU goalie Dan Tormey but ricocheted off the right post.
Yale scored early in the third to take a 2-1 lead. Once again, Mills provided the offense for the Bulldogs. The junior made a nice move to dance around a Maverick defender before firing the puck into the top right corner of the net at 3:24 of the period.
MSU tied the game with a power-play goal at 12:02. Kyle Peto passed from the point to Travis Morin on the right side of the goal. Morin made a quick pass across the crease to Berge on the backdoor. The freshman had an empty net to deposit his third collegiate goal.
Both teams had quality chances to win the games in the waning moments. The Elis had a power play for the final 1:18 of the third and the beginning of overtime, but Tormey was able to keep Yale at bay.
The Mavericks got a power play of their own in the extra session, but Richards turned away another Morin chance.
"Alec stood on his head, kept us in the game, and gave us a chance to win," Mills said.
Yale got the best chance from the MSU man advantage. When Nate Jackson's penalty came to an end, he jumped out of the penalty box only to find the puck and a breakaway chance. But Tormey was able to make a toe save, and the game ended in a tie.
Both teams seemed sluggish and sloppy throughout the game, which possibly could be attributed to long layoffs. The Mavericks had been off since playing Michigan Tech December 16. Yale had been off even longer, with its last contest against Harvard on December 4.
"I don't think we were super sharp tonight. I think the layoff showed for both teams," Jutting said.
"I thought it was a good hockey game and I'm proud of our kids," Taylor said. "It's hard going into a WCHA building and coming out with a point. We've had a long layoff since we played last, and I liked our 65-minute effort."
After both teams take Friday off, Yale will head to Nebraska-Omaha to challenge another team of Mavericks Saturday. Minnesota State will stay home and host Alabama-Huntsville on New Year's Eve.

My first memories about Scotch whiskey were of my father's words: "Rotten potatoes. That's what it smells like." When I got old enough to experiment, of course I made sure to test this drink. I realized dad had a point about the unusual smell. But after trying a few types I concluded he was dead wrong about its desirability as a libation. And now that I'm a boomer I'm finding it downright joyful to drink single malt scotch, especially when at the same time I can discover new cool Chicago places to eat/drink/enjoy.
Thanks to the fine reps from Bowmore, I spent a recent beautiful sunny Sunday sailing with a bunch of mostly much younger folks on the Anita Dee I, a handsome private charter yacht berthed at Navy Pier. While cruising the Chicago River and then the lakefront, we sampled punch made with Bowmore single malt scotch whiskey. I've tried a number of single malt scotches but not this brand before.
The punch consisted of Bowmore's blended 12-year old scotch, lemon juice and coconut. First taste, very smoky – common in scotch whiskies made in peat-fired kilns. By the second cup, everything seemed to have blended and smoothed out so the smoke was just a whisper, and it sure went down easily with the delicious food.
I was surprised and delighted by the ship's really good food, including three types of grilled kebobs – vegetable, chicken and beef – along with passed appetizers (like tuna on crispy, curvy little crackers and shrimp egg roll), and freshly shucked oysters.
While they told us about their products, the Bowmore folks introduced the ceremony of the Oyster Luge. First you take a sip of oyster liquor, then take a sip of your scotch, lift the oyster out of the shell and eat it, then pour a bit of scotch into remaining oyster liquor and drink that right from the shell. This little trick was invented by someone who hadn't yet learned to appreciate the full flavor of scotch or the briny taste of oysters but wanted to learn. I can see how it helped him. Even though I already love both scotch and oysters, this combination made for a smooth, eminently edible treat.
Bowmore has a bit of romance to its story. It's been being made for 200 years in a distillery that sits at the exact longitude and latitude at the center of Scotland on the island of Islay (pronounced 'eye-la'), one of the oldest in Scotland. In a delightful Scottish accent, the Bowmore rep painted for us a picture of "sitting on the shore and gazing across the bay to Ireland while sipping a few whiskies."
Later the group trolley-ed over to bar Sable, 505 N. State St., where talented bartender Mike dramatically shook up another specially concocted Bowmore scotch cocktail.
Made with the 12-year-old, lemon juice, blonde vermouth and maraschino cherry juice and shaken to a froth with crushed ice, this drink was light and refreshing with that by-now-familiar faint smoky hint. These pre-dinner cocktails for scotch lovers went very nicely with some Sable's thin, chewy-crust pizzas.
Look for Sable's interesting flavor combinations on its pizza - prosciutto with sweet balsamic glaze and a dusting of parmesan, or mushrooms with scallions and little dollops of goat cheese. Sable has living-room comfy seating and big windows that made it a nice place to relax on a laid-back Sunday afternoon.
Next stop was the hotel itself, Hotel Palomar, 505 N. State St. There, on the outdoor terrace on 17, Bowmore handed out samples of its 15, 18 and 25-year-old versions – along with tenderloin beef sliders and tiny chocolate cakes – against a fabulous backdrop of Chicago skyscrapers.
To make the day even more impressive, the weather was extraordinary – 68 degrees with a light breeze and sunshine that wouldn't quit. It's true - your surroundings, the company you're with, and a relaxed atmosphere make a big difference when you're tasting wines or spirits.
And by the way, you can also take a vacation on the Island of Islay. Bowmore operates several cottages where you can kick back and imbibe, far away from the regular world. My daughter traveled around Europe and Africa some years ago and said Scotland was the most beautiful of all the places she saw. Now I'd really like to go there one day.

Given my general ignorance of IIS, SqlServer, and .NET I have yet to be able to get this to actually work in my environment.

HTC Desire 610 on its way to AT&T
Last month during MWC, HTC unveiled two new midrange smartphones that have an emphasis on design: the Desire 816 and the Desire 610. As is usually the case at such events, the company failed to provide information as to where exactly we can expect to see either of them launched, with the exception of mentioning China as the debut market for the Desire 816.
The Desire 610 is apparently going to get a 'global' release in May, but it's unclear what that may mean. If you're in the US, you're probably not used to seeing HTC's Desire-branded phones in your neck of the woods. That's because these have been historically limited to emerging markets and a few European countries (though not always). That's set to change, it seems.
AT&T is going to release the HTC Desire 610 at some point in the future, according to the pretty reliable @evleaks. Unfortunately no more details about this launch are available at the moment, so we don't know when exactly it will be out (not even a rough time frame), nor how much you'll need to pay for the 610. That said, we don't expect it to make its way to AT&T stores before May, when the global release is set, and the pricing should be in line with its specs – which is to say, the Desire 610 should be cheap in order to sell well.

Mechanism That Makes Ordinary Stem Cells Create Tumors Identified
by Kathy Jones on November 10, 2013 at 7:47 PM Genetics & Stem Cells News - G J E 4
The way in which changes in cell signaling can cause ordinary stem cells in the jaw to start forming benign but potentially harmful tumors has been illustrated in a new study from the Ostrow School of Dentistry published in Cell Stem Cell.
Principal investigator Songtao Shi, professor at the Ostrow School of Dentistry Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology, says ossifying fibromas, the tumors focused on in the study, are benign but can grow aggressively and cause progressive enlargement of the jaw.
Advertisement"The only treatment option for ossifying fibromas is surgical, which leads to major loss of vital tissues and challenging post-surgical reconstruction," Shi says. "Quality of life is largely compromised. Thus, there is an urgent need to understand the underlying mechanism by which stem cells may contribute to the pathophysiology of orofacial benign tumors and to develop target-specific treatment."
Shi and his collaborators uncovered a cellular signaling pathway that converts healthy mesenchymal stem cells in the jaw into ossifying fibroma mesenchymal stem cells (OFMSC), lessening their ability to make healthy bone tissue and greatly increasing the rate at which they multiply. The tumor stem cells display increased signaling activity with TGF-beta (TGF-b), a signaling protein already shown to be heavily tied to other craniofacial malformations.
Epigenetic upregulation - switching existing but inactive genes "on" - of the TGF-b cell signaling loop appears to increase the formation of ossifying fibroma tumors. Conversely, suppressing TGF-b signaling seems to quell the tumor's proliferation rate, Shi says.
While there is still much more investigation needed, Shi says hopes that the findings have shed light on a way to stop the harmful growth of the tumors before risky surgery is needed.
"With an increased understanding of the mechanism of OFMSC, we can induce them to turn into normal jawbone MSC," he says. "But before we can put this into clinical use, more translational research is needed."

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 4 January 1823; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18230104-TC-AC-01; CL 2:255-258.
3. Moray-street, 3d [4] Jany, 1823—
My dear Alick,
Your letter could never have come to me at a more convenient time. It is Saturday-night;1 we have till Monday-morning for writing answers; and to-day having been disappointed in getting books, I enjoy abundant leisure. You are therefore to look for a very lengthy epistle.
I rejoice to learn that you are all well;—beginning a new year with reasonable hopes of success for the future, and without remorse for those that are gone by. I agree with you in reckoning it grossly absurd to look upon the flight of time as in any case a matter for riotous rejoicing. The newyearsday is always to me one of the saddest of the twelvemonth. One thinks with pain that so many more days have passed away forever, and been marked by so very small a portion of improvement. Dean Swift used not to make merry but lament, at the return of his birth-day: he always read on such occasions that chapter of Job where it is said "cursed be the day on which it was proclaimed that a man-child was born."2 The good populace have different views; they shut their eyes upon the staleness the misery and worthlessness of what is gone, they repress all feelings of regret for time misspent and opportunities neglected, they think that "age will supply the deficiencies of youth, and the emptiness of to-day will be made up by the fulness of tomorrow";3—or rather the pitiful drivellers never think at all, but seize with eagerness any pretext for quaffing "factory whisky" and picking goose-bones, and fiddling and jigging, and snatching a kind of dog's enjoyment for an hour, when it is offered. Much good may it do them!— Perhaps the wretches are in the right after all.
As to this, however, I am little careful to decide: one thing of more immediate importance and connected with the subject I unfortunately know too well; it is the woe which these revelries have wrought myself during the fortnight that is past. There are some Mantua-makers over us that have been keeping their new-year, in such a style as satisfies us very little. I have lost a good deal of sleep with them during the whole of last month, Wilkie has complained &c; but now the matter is come to a head, and this very night they are to be warned by the watchman that unless they go to their beds in future like decent Christians at midnight, the Police will deal with them in the way of censure and poinding of their gear. If this produces no effect, Jack and I are off next week into other lodgings. I hope you have no idea of what it is to hear too well: I do solemnly declare I know of no torment in the late Spanish Inquisition equal to it. As for these unhappy needle-women, I have sometimes thought of late nights how happy it was for myself that I had not unlimited power: if I had, I should have caused a strong north-wind to blow, and carry off the whole sisterhood, into the immeasurable depths of space, with all their shreds and patches, their cambric frills and 'Chapel needles4 and paper patterns, tag, rag and bobtail, once and forever. This would have been wrong: for tho' these midges have got power to vex me for a time, they have a kind of feeling in them I suppose as well as I, and ought not to be punished but in moderation. My sole petition therefore is that they may live out the full measure of their days unscathed by wind or weather,—and that my own mind might never more be degraded by the despicable recollection that they are or have been in the system of the Universe. Peace be with them, till Satteen in his proper time, get power to take them to himself!
Now I suppose my good Alick is getting very melancholy over this; thinks I have been disturbed, harassed, destroyed &c, and am now almost as bad as ever. No such matter, I assure you. I am not harmed a single jot by them—except for the present pains; and to-night, tho' I slept none till after six this morning, I feel nothing ail me at all—or next to nothing. In fact I am gathering strength and health quite steadily; only I require careful treatment; and that (thank God!) it is fully in my power to command. I should not have mentioned this foolish business at all, had it not been that I wanted to prepare you for the possibility of our having changed our abode next time you write. I do not now think it probable that we shall do so: at all events continue to direct hither till you hear.
Now, the deuce is in it, if I have not taken up the whole of this large sheet in talking about matters worse than nothing! If Alick were not a very indulgent character, he would grind his teeth at me and call me a tedious fool. I must do so no more; but turn to say a word of your reading before I close. You do well in default of Charles V, to take up with Rollin.5 He is a fine lively inoffensive body, and will tell you clearly about a thousand interesting things—tho he is very shallow. I advise you to begin with him immediately. Neither should you negleet grammar; it were well to revise Cobbett again, the good [he] has already done you makes me recommend him more. If you had brushed away a few improprieties, [you] will write an excellent letter. I am glad to find that you are in the way of doing this; there is hardly above one misspelt word this time—asshure for assure; and your mode of setting forth things is quite peculiar. You should often write, it improves your hand your style and every thing. I shall be proud of having taught you by and by— But here is "Mother Wilkie" as Graham calls her, with the little wooden tray, and all the tea-tackle! Jack has left me—away to chop Logic in some Society he attends: I must turn to my solitary meal: excuse me "sweet sir" for about ten minutes of time.— Well! here I am again; let us go on with our scribble. I have sent you a little book (or rather mean to send you, for it yet lies beside me, I see) on mensuration,6 which I do not expect you will understand at all in many of its departments; but from which I hope not-withstanding you will be able to derive some information. Look thro' it at your leisure: the preface will direct you how to study it. "What extravagance!" you exclaim. None at all, my dear Fellow; Boyd the fat Bookseller gave it me, and I give it you, and so where is the harm? Jo[h]ns[t]on's letter is already well enough directed "Broughty-ferry, Dundee": I shall put it into the Post-office to-night. I hear from James that he is getting rather quieter; he has some aims on a school at Cupar in Fife, in which I pray that all success may attend him. He is a good man, tho' luckless. Do you get any tidings of Waugh? Is he still in Annan, and poor Marion7 teakin on a' weenter [complaining all winter: on underscored twice]? Poor little Cooperie! Poor little Willikin! What would I have given to see him squeezing his small bodye thro' the press of the paraphrasing people! Did Dobie8 give no hints about the propriety of not "going on with the work"—unless there were a clearance? "My friends we can't go on!" said he once, and pouted like a little impudent thing: "My Brother we can't go on" say I now, and subscribe myself, My dear Alick,
always most affectionately your's
Thomas Carlyle—
I am sure Alick cannot say but he is dozed9 with letters for once: when will he do as much for me? At his leisure—like a good fellow. I want all his news—told in his own peculiar vein.

More Buzz
Go Home
By Paul
Copyright 2006 The Dance Insider
Built in 1846, the A.T.
Stewart Dry Goods Store -- later to become the Sun Building (for
the old New York Sun) and tomorrow, when Mayor Michael Bloomberg
cuts the ribbon, the new home of the newly renamed Dance Space Center,
with a 20-year lease from the city -- is, according to Tom Fletcher's
New York Architecture website,
"one of the most influential buildings ever erected in New York
City." Stylistically, Fletcher writes, the building that will house
Dance New Amsterdam and, potentially, a renaissance in deep downtown
culture "may be the first example of Renaissance Revival architecture"
in New York. Commercially, the city's first department store "inaugurated
the commercial development of Broadway north of City Hall."
As a dance space, the
25,000 square-foot facility will house six dance studios, a 135-seat
theater, a Pilates studio, an art gallery, and a street level cafe.
The professional dance community will be directly served by dance
presenting and an expansion to more than 140 weekly classes, including,
DNA executive director Charles Wright tells the Buzz, a $10 class
starting this fall.
Judging by the $2.6
million the city and other government agencies have invested in
the project -- of a total of about $5.5 million, says Wright --
I think it's fair to presume that the city hopes DNA will enrich
not just the dance community but the cultural diet of all those
who live and work in the downtown environs of the building's 280
Chambers Street location. The verdict's still out on how much the
performances (some 50 over the next few months) on offer from DNA
will expand the dance audience among these citizens; the tale-spinner
Sean Curran may convert them, but are normal people who are not
so fortunate as to make their living onstage really interested in
hearing Dixie FunLee Shulman complain in public about how costly
it is to produce a work of modern dance? (I'm not playing the smallest
violin in the world for you, Dixie.)
That said, I hope that
DNA's achievement in securing all this $ and this simultaneously
new and historic (it's a Landmark) building will help to cure or
at least counter-act the beggar-at-the-table syndrome that has so
often afflicted us.
It's a syndrome that
Wright, co-founder of DNA, is well aware of.
"This is driving me
crazy -- 'dance as the poor cousin,'" he told me yesterday, noting
that at the root of this syndrome is that "dancers have to dance
and we will dance at any given moment -- we dance for free and we
get taken advantage of. Actors and musicians have a stronger union.
Dancers have this driving need to get out there and get our endorphin
rush." (Note the our there, dancers; hallelujah that a dancer-directed
enterprise has scored this funding coup.) "Dancers are not dancers
if they don't perform.... Dance is such a difficult profession that
if you can get up and out you do (actually it's a calling, not a
"Somewhere in the '80s
we, the founders of DNA, decided to leave dark dingy falling-down
studios and elevate the art form. To present it seriously. A lot
of people in New York felt this way. (Ailey had a dream, Dance Theatre
of Harlem had it too.) We all came out of these terrible places
and we began to search for dignity in our art form. And it's been
a long road. The first thing we did in '84 was build our own studio
(with just our hands and love), which was the first like it outside
of the University departments. If you think back, even the Julliard
Dance Department wasn't what it was today. It's been a long hard
role for everyone. But we're committed to having places that have
dignity and beauty in which to ply (our) trade. And it's lead us
to this $5.5 million dullards new home and the support of the city."
Does DNA's securing
of this jewel indicate a real reversal in the trend that began a
few years ago of dance studios and companies being evicted from
their homes by high rents? "I don't think the trend has been reversed,"
Wright said. "There've been some high profile studios that got built.
Ailey with the $75 million building and DNA with a $5.5 million
renovation. There's also Dixon Place. These are wonderful revitalizations.
There's a great deal of credit to be given to these helping hands
(more like lifelines).
"But a lot of the single
dance studios are gone. It's like single family farmers -- now all
conglomerates. And like the Mall of America theory. If you're big
enough you can make it. It's a shame because there were a lot of
small places to rehearse that don't exist anymore. I heard how in
the '70s there were 270 schools in New York, (including) small studios
(David Howard, BBC, etcetera). But by the '90s there we're only
20-odd. The single studio got wiped out. We survived by having multiple
studios, but many had to join forces or dissolve or retire.... It's
still hard but it's a hopeful time."
Unsettled -- to say
the least -- is to what degree this sort of largesse to important
institutional infrastructures will make it easier for choreographers
to create and dancers to live in New York City.
"I worry there are all
these spaces; are we going to have money to commission scores and
pay dancers?" Curran told the New York Times's Erika Kinetz. "I
need some money for costumes and salaries. I hope that will follow."
And, before we coronate
Mike Bloomberg as the best mayor of all time for the arts in New
York, I think we need to remind ourselves that Mike Bloomberg's
New York is not designed for the poor; in fact, as the New York
Daily News's Juan Gonzalez revealed before the last mayoral election,
it's designed to give them the boot. In a world where arguably the
hottest choreographer in New York complained as recently as last
January (to the Village
Voice) that she couldn't pay the $1,100 rent on her tiny
East Village tenement studio, that's an economic class that also
includes dancers and choreographers. In fact, one might say it's
a class that includes dance's...DNA. If Mr. Bloomberg really wants
to secure the cultural commodity that makes the city, to his interests,
attractive to corporations and tourists -- if he wants to attract
the next Sarah Michelson to this petri dish -- he'd do well to ensure
that the real DNA of New York's cultural eco-system is cultivated
as well.

And at No. 20…
We should have a better read next week, after the Orlando pre-draft camp, but, for now, a roundup of who the more prominent mock drafts have the Heat selecting with the No. 20 choice, as well as our thoughts.
NBADraft.net: Acie Law.
The Heat should be so fortunate. It just seems unfathomable that such a polished scorer would be available this late in the process.
Would the Heat draft him? How could it not? Still the odds of the Texas A&M point guard being there at No. 20 are as long as anyone pegging the first 19 draft slots this early in the process.
DraftExpress.com: Brandon Rush.
The Kansas sophomore swingman might not go even this high, and it's difficult to envision the win-now Heat spending a pick on such an uneven prospect.
He might wind up as the best of the Rush brothers, but it seems the Heat could do better in a draft this deep.
ESPN.com: Tiago Splitter.
With apologies to Chad Ford and his expansive background with international prospects, it's just difficult to envision the win-now Heat taking a prospect who might not be able to get out of his European contract for a year.
The Brazilian center might wind up as a competent big man, just can't see it here, now.
Sportsline.com: Rush.
Still doesn't compute.
InsideHoops.com: Rodney Stuckey.
The Eastern Michigan point guard has proven he can score on the smaller-school level. Still, most have him going later in the first round.
Pro Basketball News: Ante Tomic.
Pat Riley is more likely to draft Atom Ant than the 7-foot-2 center from Croatia who has a Darko side to his game.
Sports Illustrated.com: Alando Tucker.
There is something to be said about the slashing guard from Wisconsin. And it's not as if the Heat made a mistake the last time it took a slasher who played collegiately in Wisconsin.
Still, a swingman is not the most pressing priority.
RealGM.com: Javaris Crittenton.
The Georgia Tech point guard makes sense from a position standpoint, especially with his scoring bent.
This, though, could require a Plan B, with Crittenton possibly to be taken in the teens.

This week's writer is Bill Schubart, a Vermont entrepreneur, author and commentator on VPR. He writes about Vermont and the nation in fiction, humor and opinion pieces.
There's some discussion these days about the survival of free-market capitalism. Conservatives believe it suffers from too much regulation and taxation, while liberals believe it needs more of both.
Heroin in Vermont
The danger in believing we are special is that it can blind us to what's right under our noses. We mix and drink our Kool-Aid and then bask in our self-esteem. Vermont is a wonderful place. It is not, however, special or immune.
The most expensive service our government provides to its citizens, other than heroic healthcare in Medicare, Medicaid and the VA, is to lock them up.
According to the Bureau of Prisons, the annual average cost per prisoner in 2008 was $26,000 at the federal level and $24,000 at the local level. Small states like Rhode Island and Vermont estimate their costs much higher, about $35-$45,000 a year. This is two to three times our per-pupil cost for public education.

Archival Research
Archives house primary source documents—materials like letters, memos, meeting minutes, speeches, and photographs, that contain firsthand information about a topic or event. Primary source documents are often unique or rare, and they can enrich and add depth to your research.
This guide is designed for people who have never done archival research before, as well as for experienced researchers who want to learn more about the Highlander Center's holdings.
About Our Collection:
The Highlander Research and Education Center maintains a core archival collection documenting the Center's work since its founding as the Highlander Folk School in 1932. Our archives are housed in the Harry Lasker Memorial Library and Resource Center. The collection includes printed materials and primary source materials on historical social movements in the South, with a focus on the Labor Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Appalachian Movement.
Other materials related to the Highlander Center can be found at the Wisconsin Historical Society and at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. See the Resources list at the end of this document for more information about those collections.
Accessing archival materials involves some advance preparation. A few basic skills and some preliminary work will help you find the materials you need.
Before You Arrive:
Determine your topic of interest. Keywords, names, and dates will all be useful in helping to find relevant materials.
Call or email us to make an appointment before you arrive, since Highlander library staff members are not always around during regular business hours. This also will allow us to ask you questions about your research topic so that we can help you find the materials that will be most useful to you.
You may want to check the Highlander Center website for directions.
Things you may want to bring: notebook, pencils, change for making photocopies, a digital camera to take photos of materials, and a laptop for taking notes. The Highlander library has wireless internet access.
Before your trip to the Highlander archives, you should spend a little time perusing our online finding aids. Searching our holdings before you arrive will help you use your time here productively. More on finding aids, and how to use them, below.
Finding the Materials You Need
Doing archival research requires time and patience. However, we have research tools that will help you locate materials.
Archival materials are generally arranged by provenance—that is, they are grouped according to who collected or compiled the materials. Each collection is divided into boxes, which contain folders. Each folder has a title and date that tells you what kinds of materials you can find inside.
Each processed collection has a descriptive document called a finding aid. The finding aid describes the collection, including its context, its creator, and its original purpose. The finding aid is divided into sections describing the collection's creator, the formats of materials it contains, the time period that it covers, and the subjects that it covers. It also contains a list of the folder titles that can be found in each box.
Finding aids generally do not include links to digital materials; instead, they describe the materials contained in our physical collections so that you know what materials will be useful to you.
The Highlander archives also has some unprocessed collections, which means that the materials have not yet been moved into archival-quality boxes and folders, and we do not have detailed knowledge of what the collection contains. Most unprocessed collections are still open for research, but navigating them will require a lot of time and patience. Ask the librarian about access to unprocessed collections.
How to Access Finding Aids:
The Highlander Center's finding aids can be found online. Click here or direct your web browser to http://www.highlanderarchives.org/archon. From this website, you can search finding aids using keywords, or you can browse our collections.
To search for a specific name or keyword, enter your term in the search box in the upper left corner of the screen, and then click the word "Search" to the right of the box. If we have materials related to your search term, a list of search results will appear. Click on the words Records and Manuscripts, which will display a list of collections related to your topic.
If you click on the collection title, it will bring you to the full finding aid for the collection. Alternately, if you click on the words Results Found in Box List below the collection title in the search results, it will display the series number, box number, and folder number/title of folders that contain information related to your search. Note the collection name and number, the box number, and the folder number of any materials that you would like to view.
If you simply want to browse collections, instead of searching for a specific term, click on the "Collections" tab at the top of the page. This brings you to a Browse page, where you can look at collections with titles beginning with a certain letter, or you can click View All to see a list of all the collections in the Highlander Archives. Again, clicking on a collection title will bring you to the full finding aid for the collection.
How to Navigate Finding Aids:
Finding aids contain numerous sections, each with information that can help you in your research or help you determine if the collection has material that will be useful to you.
On the front page of the finding aid, you will see the collection title and inclusive dates at the top of the screen.
Below the title, on the left, are sections describing the collection. The Extent of the collection is how much horizontal shelf space it occupies; for instance, a collection with an extent of 2.2 linear feet occupies 2.2 horizontal feet of shelf space. This gives you an idea of how much material is in the collection. Below the extent are a series of items, including Arrangement, Abstract, Creators, Administrative/Biographical History, Subjects, Languages of Materials, and Administrative Information. Just click on any of these section titles to expand and view that section of the finding aid.
The Arrangement describes the series and sub-series, if any, within the collection, and also notes how many boxes of material it contains. The Abstract offers a brief overview of the collection. The Creators are the person or people who wrote, created, collected, or compiled the materials in the collection. The Administrative/Biographical History includes background information about the people, topics, and events covered by the collection. For instance, if the collection consists of a staff member's personal papers, the Administrative/Biographical History will offer biographical information about that person's life and interests. Subjects includes Library of Congress Subject Headings, like those used in library catalogs. Languages of the Materials notes all languages used within the collection. Administrative Information notes any restrictions on the collection's use, and also includes the preferred citation for materials in the collection.
Below the title, on the right, is a Scope and Contents note, which describes the materials, the context in which they were created or used, and the formats of materials (news clippings, photographs, film, letters, etc.) included within. Below the Scope and Contents note is a link to a Detailed Description of the collection. If you click on Detailed Description, you will see a full list of boxes and folder titles. You can use this list to decide which boxes and/or folders you would like to view.
Requesting Materials
Write down the collection name and number, the box number, and (if applicable) the folder number for any materials that you would like to view. The librarian will retrieve boxes for you from the archives.
Inside the boxes are folders with folder titles and dates. Each folder is numbered.
You can sit at a desk or table while using materials. When you are done with a box, the librarian will re-shelve it for you.
Please do not use pens near any archival materials! We have pencils that you can use if you need one. You are welcome to bring a notebook, a laptop, or a digital camera for photographing materials.
Also, please do not have food or drink anywhere near archival materials, and make sure that your hands are clean. If you are handling photographs, we will provide you with gloves to ensure that the oils from your hands to not get onto the surface of the photograph.
Know that archival materials may be dusty or otherwise irritating to those with sensitive lungs.
Please be gentle with our archival materials. Keep documents flat on the table. Remove a single folder from the box at a time, and return folders to the appropriate spot within the box. (Each folder is numbered.) Keep materials within the folders in the order in which they are filed.
Most materials in the Highlander archives can be photographed or photocopied for personal reference or research purposes. Please keep in mind that U.S. copyright law does extend to materials housed in libraries and archives.
Some large or fragile materials cannot be photocopied; movement or the light from photocopying can damage very fragile items. Bound manuscripts, old or deteriorated newsprint, fragile or deteriorating photographs, and some other items should not be photocopied. Check with a librarian if you have questions about photocopying an item.
After You Leave
If you are going to be using our materials in an article or an academic paper, you will need to cite them correctly. Finding aids for each collection include citation information. The general format for citations of Highlander archival material is as follows:
[Identification of Item]. [Collection number]: [Collection title, collection dates]. Highlander Research and Education Center, New Market, Tenn.
If you are going to publish materials held in the Highlander archives or library, you may need to request permission. Contact a librarian for information about permissions and usage rights.
While doing archival research and while using finding aids, you may come across unfamiliar terms, or you may be confused about where to look within a finding aid to find the information that you need. Follow the link to an excellent list of useful terms compiled by the Manuscripts Department in the Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina.

Engineers and Biologically Inspired Design
It's evident that when it comes to robotics design that many engineers take inspiration from the natural world. And it makes sense: when looking for a time-tested design with some guaranteed measure of success, there's no better place to look than nature.
We see this very frequently in robotics and automation; just consider the omnipresent robotic arm, a design borrowed from our own natural model. If an engineer wants to borrow an element from a plant, animal, or other organism or natural system, she knows that that design element comes with generations of testing through natural selection. This means that she can be assured that the element she borrows is going to be very good at the task for which it was intended. And with a particular task in mind for her robot, she may even be able to surpass the efficiency and precision of the original model.
What does this mean for the robotics industry?
It's hardly a new trend that engineers should observe and borrow from nature. However, the announcements of a few new robots on the market suggest that engineers are getting even more creative with the ways they observe nature and then apply their observations.
And with scientists constantly developing new materials for robotics engineers to use, the ways in which robots can approach or even surpass the abilities and complex skills of the organisms they imitate is closer than ever before.
Check out the some of the coolest recent examples of bio-inspired robotics!
- Researchers use robots to control and direct animal groups
In populations of cockroaches, chickens, fish, and other animals, researchers have been able to use robots to direct herds to make certain decisions. This kind of technology may find quite a few applications in instances where we need to move, direct, or herd both wild and domestic animals.
- "Termite" robots self-manage and coordinate as a group
Historically, manufacturers have been able to use robots for many assembly and production processes, but still needed managers to oversee the robots' activities. These robots are designed to act like termites in that they can achieve tasks together by communicating as a large group with no supervision.
- Scientists develop extra strong artificial muscles with fishing line and sewing thread
In robots that are meant to move and bend like living organisms, strong artificial muscles can be a real challenge for engineers. These scientists developed a design that allows them to make a strong, powerful muscle with cheap, easily-accessible materials.
- NASA unveils an unusual robot that moves with extendable and retractable limbs
This odd robot looks like a tumbleweed as it moves around, but it in practice it is more similar to an amoeba in that it can extend and retract its rods to feel out its terrain and move quickly without sustaining too much damage as it rolls around the rocky surface of Mars.
- Robots with highly sensitive whiskers
After witnessing the abilities of Etruscan pygmy shrew to sense its surroundings with sensitive whiskers, engineers developed composites of carbon nanotubes and silver nanoparticles that can detect extremely small pressure changes. With these whiskers, the robot can detect its surroundings and move without bumping into objects.

I've always admired Eric Larsen's holster skills but never had the opportunity to see one in person. Well, I called him up one Saturday evening and spoke at length about placing an order, various options he offered, how he's been, etc, etc. I asked what his estimated turnaround time was and he said, "about two weeks".... Excuse me? I said... TEN or TWO? "Two... I'll call you shortly after next weekend to start your order."
I was stoked and just as he stated, I got a call a week and a half later with the holster showing up at my door 2-1/2 weeks from order.
Holy cow is it beautiful and my pics don't do it justice. My hat is off to a very nice gentleman and great work.

Dating is all about priorities. Essentially, it boils down to this: what can I move around in order to make this person a priority in my life.
Majority of people who are dating or who are looking for a partner have a separate life. You have friends, family, work, social engagements and so forth and so on. However, when you're dating someone, you having to be willing to make them a priority in your life. Even though you may be juggling other things, in order to give any relationship a chance, you have to put in the work. This idea is never more present than in the city that never sleeps.
There is always something to do, someplace to go or someone to see in NYC, but people still find the time to make relationships work. Why? They make an effort to spend time with someone and make that person a priority. Now that doesn't mean you have to cut off your friends and family in order to accommodate your new beau. Far from it. But you do have make an effort to show this person that they're being included in your life. Everyone's dating situation is different so no one way or rule will work for all; however, it's the little things you do that can make all the difference.
For instance, if you know your schedules conflict, try to set up a date night in advance. You both can request a day off from work and spend it together. Or squeeze in a FaceTime when you know you haven't seen the person in a while. Send fun pictures to one another to let the person know they're in your thoughts. And lastly, communicate with your significant other. People can't read minds. If you have a busy week coming up, inform your partner, and schedule a link up date as soon as things settle down. Though the person may miss you, at least they know you're not blowing them off and that they're still important to you.
Dating someone who's not willing to make you a priority in their life should never be done. Everyone deserves a relationship where they are appreciated not just through words but with actions as well. A lot of people talk the talk, but can they also walk the walk?

Don't Forget Transgender Day of Rememberance
January 18, 2008
Jamie Tyroler
Don?t Forget Transgender Day of Remembrance
But Community Should Also
Honor Those Working for Changes
Originally, I was going to write a column reviewing the events of 2007, just like so many other writers. But then something happened in Kansas City. Well, to be honest, it?s more like something didn?t happen.
In 2002, I conducted the first Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) in Kansas City. The day, marked each year in November, memorializes those who have been killed as the result of anti-transgender prejudice. Our event included about 20 people with candles by the J.C. Nichols fountain. Another group of people was chugging eggnog for a radio contest nearby.
Since that year, a Transgender Day of Remembrance event was held each year at Spirit of Hope MCC Church. Until November 2007, that is. On Nov. 16, The Believers, a documentary about a transgender choir, was shown at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, and the discussion group did talk about the Day of Remembrance.
But the lack of an independent Transgender Day of Remembrance in 2007 in the Kansas City area was disappointing for me and for other transgender people. It is the one day that is set aside for the transgender community and is often considered the most important day for us.
I can see why some people wouldn?t want to be a part of TDOR. One of the difficult things about the day is learning about people who were killed for trying to live their lives as they deem best for themselves ? people much like those involved in planning TDOR events.
Transgender Day of Remembrance events are often focused on those who were killed. Some events try to use the day as a way to open discussion to push for non-discrimination laws and policies that include gender identity and expression. Although I really wasn?t involved in the 2006 TDOR event, a thought struck me: Many of the people being remembered lived in states and/or cities that had these protections.
In the past, a few people didn?t want to attend TDOR because they were worried that we might be attacked by some hate group, picketed by Fred Phelps and family or outed from media coverage of the event. Personally, I would be very emotional for days before the event and I would be so emotional during the event that I had problems completing sentences without needing a tissue. Then I would be drained for several days afterward.
Perhaps it is time for the transgender communities to start also having events to recognize those people who have made contributions and have done so facing a lot of potential resistance. Quite a few people have helped both the transgender community and society at large.
A few of these people who deserve recognition (and this is by no means anything close to a complete list) are:
? Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality
? Kylar Broadus, a Columbia, Mo., lawyer who has been involved in various national and statewide organizations
? Monica Helms, president of Transgender American Veterans Association
? Gwen Smith, a writer and activist who has been heavily involved with Transgender Day of Remembrance events and many national and regional organizations
? Donna Rose, who resigned from the board of the Human Rights Campaign after the group supported the version of ENDA (Employment Non-Discrimination Act) that did not include gender identity and expression
? Donna Ross, board president of the Kansas City Anti-Violence Project.
As I said, this is not an all-inclusive list of people who deserve recognition, but it?s a start. Without their efforts and those of countless other people, the transgender community wouldn?t have made the advancements that have taken place over the last few years.
As we go into the New Year, I hope that more people become involved with their community. I also hope that there is a concentrated effort to add employment and housing protections for the transgender community and any other minority group of people who are not protected.
Happy New Year!

Trichomoniasis - Medications
Trichomoniasis (trich) is usually treated with a medicine called metronidazole. The cure rate in treating trich using metronidazole is 90% to 95%.5Tinidazole has been shown to be this useful too.
Medicine choices
Antiprotozoals, such as metronidazole or tinidazole, are medicines that kill the tiny parasite that causes trich.
What to think about
Trich during pregnancy raises the risk of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and premature delivery. Treating the infection doesn't appear to reduce this risk.3 If you are pregnant and have trich, talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of treatment.
Metronidazole vaginal suppositories or creams aren't recommended, because oral metronidazole is much more effective. Vaginal medicines cure trich in less than 50% of cases.5
Metronidazole vaginal gel, which is used to treat bacterial vaginosis, is not recommended for treatment of trich.7
