As travel increases worldwide, many are increasingly becoming afraid of contracting vector-borne diseases, especially if they have no idea of what should be done in the event they are bitten or stung by a disease carrying insect. Apart from mosquitoes and ticks, many will admit they do not know much about vector borne diseases. In today's world we cannot afford to be ignorant about this topic. I came upon a site that I want to share with you. It is the official site of the Purdue University program in Vector Biology and Vector-Borne Diseases. Among other things the site gives details about insects such as: mosquitoes, ticks, lice bed bugs, fleas, horse and deer flies, stinging insects, black flies, and biting midges.
I also want to highlight an opportunity that will be of great interest to our young scientists in schools here in the United States and around the world:-The offer goes out to seventh graders or teachers of seventh graders. Now they can take a virtual field trip to Purdue to meet with Medical Entomologists working on ticks and tick-borne diseases. They can check out the Purdue ziptrips seventh grade show here.

jealous of her eating disorder *headdesk*
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
This is awful. Possibly trigger-y if you're anorexic -- I'm apologizing in advance. I'm being a pretty crappy human being today.
So, my neighbor. She's gorgeous. Also incredibly nice, like the kind of nice where you wonder what she's up to, you know? But after a couple years living near her, my conclusion is -- she's just a really nice person. She's also recovering anorexic/bulimic who shared with me horror stories about a year in rehab, a body weight so low her organs were shutting down, and the evil, awful stuff that happened to her as a kid that caused all this grief.
I cried when she told me her story. I admire her courage in having a baby and just freaking living her life every day. But damned if I'm not also consumed with envy that she's lost 18 pounds in a month. Her son made a comment about her tummy (nice kid), she freaked out, hit the gym for two hours every day, says she didn't stop eating, but I don't know... she's 18 pounds down, one month later.
Now I know, I KNOW, that this could be the recurrence of her disease. It's scary. I'm scared for her. I'm also blindingly jealous. Nice, huh? I feel like a real piece of work today.
(I feel even worse now that I've written this out. Wow. I better just call it a day and do better tomorrow.)

Honestly, I think it's human. Some things come "easier" for others. Sometimes, I read peoples' blogs about how they've lost 40 pounds, and I'm slightly jealous because I've been struggling with 15 for about 3 months. It's tough. However, you've come a long way. You came to SP to learn healthier habits. One day, you'll be at your goal, but you are going to have to work at it (just like she did since you said she went to the gym). So, don't let this sideline you.

its the between pictures we tend not look look at. Everyone's body adjusts differently.
I sometimes get caught up in the moment wishing for something different, all I can do is work towards my final goal. Best of luck ladies :)

I felt that little bit of misplaced jealousy too today. I was on a friend's facebook that was kind of chubby average in high school but now is pretty thin... as I flicked through the pictures I noticed WAY too thin. There are tons of comments on her page to gain weight and I felt a little bit of jealousy that she has lost so much...
But as I said, it's misplaced. I'm not jealous of an eating disorder, but I do envy anyone that is already at their "end".... I'm a sucker for before and after photos haha

Will royal gossip re-ignite her husband's passion for her?
Nathan Grey, the Earl of Lindsey, is infamously known as the Libertine of Lindsey for his scandalous ways with women. But when he hears gossip that his estranged wife, Evelyn, is about to be named in The Book of Scandal, he has no choice but to remove her from London to protect her and himself from charges of treason -- even if it calls for abduction! While Evelyn has no legal recourse against the man who broke her heart years ago but is still considered her lord and master, she is no longer the immature girl Nathan married. Her enforced homecoming quickly turns into a battle of wills that tears down her husband's defenses and lays bare the passion that still burns between them. Before it is too late, Nathan must confront powerful adversaries as he convinces Evelyn that she is not only his wife, but the one woman he will love for all time.

Assistant Coach Todd Nelson
Aug. 14, 2012
This is the first weekly installment of diaries from the 2012 Saluki volleyball team.
By Assistant Coach Todd Nelson
Welcome to the 2012 season! After working with the team throughout the Spring, we have anxiously been waiting to get everyone back into Davies Gym and officially get the season started!
On the first day back, the team was already in uniform. Unfortunately, it wasn't for a match. Instead, the team had their headshots, team photos, and our newcomers, Amy, Taylor, and Mary had some action pictures taken. We were able to get some great pictures of the team inside and outside of the SIU Arena. Once pictures were taken, it was time for every college volleyball players' favorite part of the day...Equipment hand-out! The entire SIU Athletic Department is outfitted by Under Armour and UA makes some great stuff! Needless to say, the team looks sharp with new sweats, practice shirts, socks, etc.! Before we could have our 1st official practice, the team had the prerequisite meetings to attend. Thanks to Kathy, Temeka, Liz, Andy, Bill, Steve, Kristin, and Ashley for taking the time to meet with the team, and for keeping the meetings informative and entertaining!
Once the necessary paperwork was filled out, it was time for dinner. For the first team dinner of the season, we took the team to Giant City Lodge. The Lodge is a beautiful building built back in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It's also a great restaurant known for it's chicken dinners and family style dining. Freshman Mary Bogdanski highly recommends the green beans if you ever get the chance to eat at Giant City Lodge! Of course, it wouldn't be a team meal if we didn't have some type of mishap. On the drive to the Lodge, Senior Laura Thole (and the car full of teammates) heard a "thomp, thomp, thomp" coming from her front passenger tire. When she got out to look, a bubble had developed on the side of the tire, rubbing against the wheel well. While she was looking at the tire and calling the coaches, the bubble burst, leaving her and her with a flat tire. Thanks to some help from a friendly passer-by, they were able to get the spare tire on and finish the drive to Giant City Lodge.
We couldn't be more excited for the season to begin! This team has great senior leadership and talent throughout the roster. Our freshman have stepped right in and are already carrying themselves like upperclassman. The team is hungry and has already outlined their goals for the season. We hope to see you at some of our matches...at home in Davies Gym or on the road. If you can't make it to see the Salukis in person, all of our home matches will be webcast at www.siusalukis.com. We appreciate everyone's support and hope to see you soon!

Established in 1991 with funding from the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), the Centre is housed in a purpose built modernist building with excellent facilities for our students. Our dealing rooms are an integral part of ICMA Centre, and the Centre was the first business school in Europe to have a dealing room facility of its kind and is still the only university with a facility on such a scale.
Our three dealing rooms, all sponsored by Thomson Reuters, have always been an integral part of our teaching and learning style – our technology and facilities allow students to put theory into practice. As part of their coursework they experience the thrill and pressures of a live market – take positions, quote two-way prices and manage the risk of a $50-100 million trading book. Students also manage multi-asset portfolio's using live prices and the latest investment management technology. Having these essential practical skills in today's competitive and uncertain environment gives our students the edge over more traditional finance degrees.
We have over 101 terminals in three dealing rooms equipped with Thomson Reuters Eikon and Bloomberg. The ICMA Centre has the most extensive non-investment bank dealing room facilities in the world. So much so, that regular trading days are held in our dealing rooms for graduate trainees and other personnel of all the major investment banks.
Our Flagship Dealing Room
The brand new 40 station flagship dealing room is equipped with all the latest trading technology giving it the feel of a real trading floor. It has a state-of the-art 37 feet 8 colour Daktronics ticker displaying up to date market prices, four plasma screens with the latest news and quotes, and a custom teaching desk with Crestron 10" touch control screen.
Combining theory and practice
These rooms are not merely training centres for traders of the future; but they also enable academic staff to combine theory and practice across a whole range of activities, whether in derivatives trading, portfolio management, risk management, financial engineering or corporate finance.
Other Facilities
Our other facilities include two conference standard lecture theatres fitted with the latest AV equipment, seminar rooms, dedicated research area, café bars and Bloomberg TV.

Greenfield Wins Sundance Director Prize
Lauren Greenfield won the prize for best director of a US documentary at the Sundance Film Festival for her film, "The Queen of Versailles." The prize was announced January 28 at the end of the festival for independent films.
Greenfield, a photographer and director whose previous documentaries include "Thin," an HBO film on anorexia, was honored for her direction of a non-fiction film about a real estate mogul who tried to build the biggest house in America, only to be hit hard by the 2008 financial crisis. Earlier in the week, Magnolia Pictures bought the rights to distribute "The Queen of Versailles" in North America, and plans to release it this summer.
Reviewing the list of other award winners at the Festival, two more photographers' names caught our attention.
"Chasing Ice," directed by Jeff Orlowski, which documents how nature photographer James Balog has used time-lapse photography to show the shrinking of arctic glaciers over the years, won the award for Excellence in Cinematography in a US Documentary.
In the World Cinema category, "Valley of Saints," written and directed by Musa Syeed, won the Audience Award for dramatic film. The director of photography on the film was Yoni Brook, a photographer and filmmaker known to us as a former PDN's 30.
The full list of award-winners is available at the Sundance.org Web site.

The NBA playoff teams were decided long before the season finale on April 16. However, the order of the NBA playoff teams out West was yet to be completely decided, as the No. 2, No. 3, No. 7 and No. 8 seeds were still on the line. Ultimately, the Oklahoma City got to finish just behind the San Antonio Spurs, while the Memphis Grizzlies won the right to face them.
The Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks played each other on April 16, right after each of them beat the Phoenix Suns just to reach the playoffs. Yet the winner of their match-up would get to avoid the NBA best San Antonio Spurs in the first round -- an honor finally won by the Grizzlies by 106-105 in overtime.
The Grizzlies and Mavericks fought hard merely to reach the playoffs and become big underdogs to the Thunder and Spurs. Yet Memphis did upset Oklahoma City in last year's second round, although the Thunder actually have Russell Westbrook set to face the Grizzlies this time. As for the Mavericks, while their 49 wins would be enough for the No. 3 seed in the East, it only got them a No. 8 seed in the West and a battle with the Spurs.
The Thunder could have fallen to the No. 3 spot, if they lost to the Detroit Pistons and the Los Angeles Clippers then beat the Portland Trail Blazers. It was actually easier said than done for the Thunder, who went to the wire to finally knock off the Pistons by 112-111. As a result, the Clippers could rest and resign themselves to facing the Golden State Warriors in round one.
Yet again, the NBA playoffs out West are led by the Spurs and Thunder, with San Antonio and Oklahoma City trading the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds this time around. Being the top seed didn't help the Thunder last season -- although Westbrook's injury did more to stop them -- whereas being a No. 2 was good enough for them to beat the No. 1 Spurs in the 2012 conference finals.
This is a Western Conference where the top five teams finished with a better or equal record than the two-time champion Miami Heat. As such, very little will qualify as an upset in this bracket. The accompanying list breaks down the crowded murderer's row in the West field.
Spurs embark on title run again
San Antonio Spurs (62-20, face Dallas Mavericks in first round) When Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and the Spurs had their hearts broken in last year's NBA Finals, it looked like the best shot they had left for a fifth ring. 62 wins later, here come the Spurs again with home court throughout the playoffs.
Thunder return to playoffs with Westbrook
Oklahoma City Thunder (59-23, face Memphis Grizzlies in first round) The last time the Thunder played a full postseason with Russell Westbrook, they went to the 2012 NBA Finals. Therefore, Oklahoma City hopes that history repeats, rather than the one from 2013 where it lost Westbrook and got knocked out by Memphis.
Clippers seek payback
Los Angeles Clippers (57-25, face Golden State Warriors in first round) Blake Griffin and the Clippers blew a 2-0 lead in the first round to the Grizzlies last postseason. After winning 57 games behind a MVP-worthy season from Griffin, the Clippers have no excuse to come apart again.
Howard makes playoff debut for Rockets
Houston Rockets (54-28, face Portland Trail Blazers in first round) The Rockets got much more from Dwight Howard in his first season with them than the Lakers got in their only season with him. Will that luck extend to the playoffs?
Trail Blazers break into playoffs
Portland Trail Blazers (54-28, face Houston Rockets in first round) The Blazers and LaMarcus Aldridge made the biggest leap in the West, and look to keep leaping forward in the postseason.
Curry looks for another big show
Golden State Warriors (51-31, face Los Angeles Clippers in first round) As a sixth seed last postseason, the Warriors pulled a first round upset and challenged the Spurs in the second round. Nevertheless, a repeat performance from Stephen Curry and the Warriors may be even harder now.
Grizzlies squeak back into postseason
Memphis Grizzlies (50-32, face Oklahoma City Thunder in first round) Zach Randolph and the Grizzlies started the year on a hangover after their Western Conference finals run last season. But the Grizzlies got back in, only to face a Thunder team they knocked out last postseason.
Mavericks return to playoffs
Dallas Mavericks (49-33, face San Antonio Spurs in first round) Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks took a one-year absence from the playoffs, but are back this postseason. Yet 49 wins were only good enough for the eighth seed and a date with their old playoff rivals from San Antonio.

Pink hair is about to go mainstream: Maybelline New York announced today that pink-haired model Charlotte Free, credited with fueling the edgy style, is the new face of their campaign.
While the fashion fringe trend has been gaining momentum for a while, making cameos at Thakoon's spring 2012 show and BCBG's fall 2011 campaign, the fact that Free was signed by a major cosmetics company brings her fuchsia strands to the mass market—and may just spawn a few (thousand? million?) more copycats.
Free, a natural brunette, made her debut at the fashion-forward Richard Chai fall 2011 show and became a darling on street-style blogs. Since then, celebrities like Katy Perry, Dianna Agron, and Lady Gaga have tried out the colorful ombré effect. Lauren Conrad, who's dabbled with Crayola-inspired hair before, added bright pink streaks only yesterday, prompting her stylist, Kristin Ess, to joke that she's "Fuchsia Barbie."
I'm curious to see if the unconventional look will catch on off the runway and outside of Hollywood now. Would you dye your hair pink? Or is it still too bold for running to the grocery store?

A Year Has Passed-A Time to Purge
Saturday, July 28, 2012
One year ago my MIL passed away. The night time hours leading up to her passing were the most harrowing of my life. My MIL had been very ill for some time and I found myself thrust into the role of a primary caregiver to a woman for whatever reason had an incredible dislike for me. She had been a smoker all her life and had COPD. She had been placed on full time oxygen therapy and still smoked. My husband and I have a commuter condo where we live most of the time and a home 61 miles away on the beautiful Puget Sound. I moved out of my condo and back into our home to care for her. I gave up my car so I would have a vehicle to carry her and whatever else might be needed. I gave up my exercise program, gave up my career basically gave up me. During this time the family was more than happy to armchair quarterback and tell me what I was doing wrong and what I SHOULD be doing. None of them were willing to come take a shift, to come and care for her themselves. I slept during this 6 month period in 90 minute increments. If she wasn't needing me for something there was all the usual day to day chores that had to be done as well as a couple of pets to care for.
After her passing it fell on my shoulders to handle all her affairs and to distribute what possessions she had left. Then the day came for me to try to pick up the pieces of my life and to go on. Funny thing is my life had changed a great deal. I went through things during those past 9 months that had changed me. I was no longer the happy active middle aged woman I was. I was now an exhausted, defeated, weary, lost individual. I felt like I had no direction and was left in a fog. I was 40 pounds heavier and no longer able to fit into my clothes and no longer felt any motivation. I know that people go through these types of situation and come out the other side, they are survivors. I don't feel like I really belong to that club. Is it that I am not as strong as others? Was it because I was caring for someone who , for lack of a better word, had a hatred for me?
During this last year I threw myself into renovating, remodeling and redecorating the lower area of my home where the 9 life changing months occurred. I moved back into my commuter condo and spent a few months in therapy. Everyone has told me that after this day things will really start to look up that I will be able to shake the last of the fog and move forward.
I still don't feel very strong but I have taken steps to begin anew again. Many of you knew me as Mobaygirl. I feel I am no longer that person. I am now and will always be BigDogsGurl, a nod to my best friend, the love of my life, my husband. Here's to moving forward, getting stronger, healthier and finding myself once again.

"I know nothing about him," admitted Sergey Kovalev in regards to his next opponent, Cedric Agnew.
No matter. Kovalev said he didn't usually get bogged down in watching videos of his opponents anyways. He said his trainer, John David Jackson, was the one who prepared the gameplan for his fights. His job was just to train hard and be ready for fight night.
"I feel good," said Kovalev.
But Kovalev said he couldn't find video on Cedric Agnew on YouTube, meaning he had at least tried to have a look at the undefeated light heavyweight prospect he'll face this Saturday night in Atlantic City.
Agnew's promoter, Malcolm Garrett, said he's glad his guy is veiled in such mystery. It's not exactly by design though, at least not up until this point. Garrett said he's tried for over a year now to get Agnew a fight on television. He said he felt like he was given the runaround by ESPN multiple times and sounded frustrated about the whole process, even on the precipice of revealing his fighter to the world in a main event attraction on HBO.
Garrett said he hopes Kovalev is looking past Agnew a bit. He said much of the talk he's heard from Kovalev as of late has been about a potential showdown with lineal champion Adonis Stevenson. He said he hopes Kovalev is thinking about Stevenson and not Agnew.
"Maybe that's better for us," said Garrett.
When I visited Agnew in camp last week at Main Street Boxing Gym in Houston, trainer Bobby Benton came over and asked me not to show too much of his fighter on the video I was capturing for Boxing Channel.
Mystery seems to be a big part of the plan, and when we chatted after the workout, Benton sounded as frustrated as Garrett with the business of boxing. Mystery is important right now, but that hasn't always been the plan. These guys want their fighter to get his due.
"Fights fell through," said Benton. "We took several fights … every one offered to us. They just didn't happen."
Benton said Agnew asked for Kovalev. He said the kid is an underrated fighter who just needs a chance to shine on the big stage. He and his fighter are confident they can shock the world.
"He's a world champion," Benton said of Kovalev. "That's where we want to be."
There were two people there to visit Agnew's camp. One being me, and the other was Fighthype's Lamont Joseph.
Agnew avoided eye contact with us for the most part. He was aware we were there but didn't seem sure how to act in front of us. He hit the bag, worked the mitts with Benton and trotted around the ring up on his toes. He appeared to be in good shape, a product of being a "gym rat" as Benton put it.
But when we finally talked, Agnew displayed a quiet confidence about him. He genuinely believes he'll defeat Kovalev on Saturday. That's not always the case. You can always tell when a fighter believes he's been chosen a sacrificial lamb. Agnew might have been, but he doesn't believe it.
Agnew's nickname is L.O.W. He said the acronym stands for Leader of War. He'll need that kind of attitude against a rumbler like Kovalev.
"I'm very excited," said Agnew. "I feel like this has been a long time coming. We've been waiting for this chance [for what] feels like forever."
I asked Agnew to tell me how he sizes Kovalev up.
"I look at him as a very strong fighter [with a] good punch. You attack that type of fighter with your brain … the smarter fighter wins."
During a teleconference call earlier this month, Agnew called Kovalev ordinary. I asked him to clarify the comment. Is this knockout machine really just ordinary?
"Let me clarify 'ordinary' for you guys … we've had the Ray Leonard and the Roy Jones [types] … I don't look at Roy Jones in his prime as an ordinary fighter because he had everything: speed, power and movement–everything. All Sergey [has] shown throughout his fights is just power, and you can beat a guy with power … you just got to use your brain in there."
Agnew wouldn't give any prediction for the bout other than this: "Winning."
I asked Benton what kind of training they'd been doing over the past few weeks. How will they attack a fighter with such good power and technical skill? Will they try to box him from the outside? Or will they surprise everyone by taking it right to Kovalev?
"You'll have to see," said Benton with a sly smile.
Kovalev is probably better than just ordinary. He has tremendous power and was one of the top amateur boxers in Russia before he turned pro. He's really hit his stride over the past year or so, and he's on the cusp of becoming one of the biggest stars in the sport.
For his part, Kovalev said he's fine being in the dark on Agnew. He said training has gone exactly as planned, and his weight was right where he wanted it to be leading up to the fight.
"Everything is going well," said Kovalev. "Like usual."
Still, it's a big moment for him. I asked Kovalev what it was like to finally be headlining a show on HBO. It doesn't get much bigger in our sport, and this could be the start of something really big for him.
"For me, every fight on HBO is big … I'm happy. This time, I have the main event of the evening. It's the most responsibility … It's my show."
Still, Kovalev said he wasn't feeling any additional pressure, and seemed to be telling the truth. Kovalev seemed just as pleasant and calm as when I visited him a few weeks ago in San Antonio. Ordinary or not, he's a man well adjusted to his place and time.
"No pressure. It's the same, just more motivation, more responsibility."
Kovalev will seek to prove to Agnew that he's the real deal. Agnew will hope to show the world he's as good or better than Kovalev, the WBO light heavyweight titleholder and one of the best fighters in the sport.
Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev (23-0-1, 21KOs) faces Cedric "L.O.W" Agnew (26-0-0, 13 KOs) March 29 at the Ballroom at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic, City, NJ. The broadcast begins live on HBO Boxing After Dark at 10:00 PM ET. Junior welterweights Thomas Dulorme and Karim Mayfield kick things off as the co-feature.
Sergey Kovalev was on SiriusXM's "Monday Night at the Fights" last night me me & Gerry Cooney. It was a challenging interview for all of us, as Kovalev speaks little English & Gerry & I combined don't know two words of Russian. Yet, we somehow made the interview work. The champ came across well and, according to Ellen Haley of Main Events, enjoyed himself.
We found it astounding that Kovalev told us he knows knows next to nothing about the man he will face on Saturday, unbeaten Cedric Agnew. What Kovalev did tell us is " I have worked very hard for this. I am in very good shape. I come out and do what I do best--fight!"
That's all he has to do.
I wonder if Agnew is feeling the way Mike Tyson's early opponents used to feel--numb. They would say the same things as Agnew is saying ("He's only human"..."He can be hurt"..."Nobody is invincible"..."I don't just have to deal with him. He has to deal with me!"..."I am coming to win the belt, not just say I fought for it."), then they'd get into their dressing room and pukes their guts out. Then, like a prisoner on Death Row, they'd walk out to their execution and be dispatched in quick, destructive fashion.
Agnew is closing in on his final meal.
-Randy G.
Kovalev seems the type who doesn't care who he faces. He just wants to get them in the ring and see what's what. We need more of that in the sport.
I agree Springs, there are a few in every division with that mentality. I think a lot of them are guys who had to fight to get their foot in the door, mostly coming from outside of the US. That being said many US fighters take that stance too..
I'm not Springs Toledo, though I will channel is goodness to be an awesome forum poster.
Hehehehe! The Commish, that was cold! BTW! Does anybody know what is up with the last meal deal? Do they also get a last restroom call?
I'd delay my execution because I'd need a last poop and pee. Haha! And then I'd want another last meal.
Man, I cannot dig how it is cool to execute any muthasucka with his bowels ready to pop.
Wow, MAN, I'd gas up the place on my execution. I couldn't go out with flatulence all up in me.
Danggit! I'm not trying roll up in Heaven to meet Jesus and Da Big Poppa G, and then fart.
But if I go to helldom, it's AIGHT! I'm gonna kick satan's arse anyway and take his pitchfork, stick him in the hot arse with it. And pi$$ out his fire. I hope that muthajoker gets a bad fever and catches pneumonia. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

I'm voting for a relaxing weekend
Friday, September 20, 2013
My allergies have been bothering me the past few days. Mostly, it's just heavy post-nasal drip. It's fall, and we have things that release pollen in the fall. So I checked the pollen report: zip. Nada. Nothin' to see here, folks.
This lack of pollen made me fear that I am allergic to Tuffy. I was allergic to Magic, but I kept him for 16 years. I'd keep Tuffy, despite allergies. I buy diphenhydramine in large bottles. It's my beautiful pink miracle.
I mentioned this fear to my legal assistant. As it turns out, her allergies have been bugging her the past few days, and today was especially bad. Another legal assistant reported the same. So I'm guessing it's not Tuffy (although I wouldn't put it past them to lie to me in the interest of seeing me keep Tuffy!).
I've taken plenty of drugs this morning. I'm still sneezy and a little dull around the edges. I have the deep fear I'm coming down with a cold. (Which would mean all three of us have come down with the same cold. That is not outside of the realm of the possible, though. My office seems to be an incubator for pathogens. One person gets sick, and it works its way through the entire office over the next 4-6 weeks.)
I have the afternoon off, so once I'm done with court I will head home. I think I'm going to indulge in a little Nyquil and lie on the futon and let the cats walk all over me. I was going to mow the lawn, but if it's allergies, mowing the lawn will just make it worse.
I'm still planning to go camping this weekend. I'll just bring along my arsenal of drugs and spend my time relaxing and napping. The boys can go play without me. So I won't be going for a swim or a run or a ride. Yep, I'm just going to relax.
So why does the thought of relaxing make me so panicky?

FUNNY--"and let the cats walk all over me."
I relate about getting panicky about relaxing. For me, it's that I don't trust myself yet that I'm not actually sliding down the chute into No-exercise Land.
But I'm very happy that it sounds like you're hearing the inner voice to take it easy. Makes sense to me with the congestion. I second the motion to "take it easy." All in favor, say "Aye." "AYE!" All opposed--(crickets chirping.)

That is good news that it is likely the Mr. Tuffy that's the issue
Though being sick is not walk in the park either (so you had better rest in the park!)
Hope you have a good camping trip.
PS - thanks for the info about the winter footwear....and mos were clipless pedal useable...yeahhh!

Nancy White and I have been working with the March of Dimes on an online community site called ShareYourStory.org. The site has close to 5000 members and has been going since September of 2004. We're working on the next version of the site, which will significantly change its design and navigation. This kind of change can be a minefield with some online communities because the members feel intense ownership in the site, as they should. A poorly handled transition can result in mutiny....

Blogs and message boards both suffer from the same problem- they are great for presenting emerging information, but poor at organizing it for future reference. The "good stuff�? that people often need and companies often want to capture quickly gets buried among all the comments and messages. You could say that blogs and message boards are good at managing flows, but poor at managing stocks. With this post, I'm outlining a potential way organizations can use blogs and message boards as a... Continue Reading
Ross just posted something about the changing sense of community on Many-to-Many that prompted me to think a little further about the definition of "community". It's like trying to define the word "party". How do you know when it is a party? What makes something a party vs. a gathering or an event? In the end, it only matters if I think it's a party. Like "party", community is something that each person feels on a different level. It may be across blogs, in a wiki or message board, or all of... Continue Reading
As I've written before, I believe that the term "online community�? is overused and does not match with the reality of what most organizations want when they say "we need an online community�?. This post is my way of promoting other ways for us to talk about the opportunities that often fall into the "community�? bucket. First, let me say that "community�? is a worthy goal – every business can benefit from building lasting relationships among customers, online and off.... Continue Reading
I've been doing some research lately on online communities related to eBay for a client.

If you need to see it in action, look at the bottom of this page. I thought... Continue Reading
I'm not a huge golf fan, but I usually try to watch the last holes of the Masters, which were today. So, in honor of the Masters, a comparison of my job and golf… My friend Bill Reid and I were talking about my work and what role I play in the bigger scheme of things. Bill made the connection to me being like a golf caddy of Social Design and it stuck with me.

I had breakfast this morning with a couple of really smart guys: Chris Dent and Jay Fienberg. This was my first time meeting Jay – he is new in Seattle. We talked about Jay's recent writings in a series about "folksability�?- which is a work in-progress. I'm keenly interested and attempting to wrap my mind around the concept with this post. I think the very basic premise is that some web sites can be viewed in terms of how well they serve the needs of "folks�? (the same folks as... Continue Reading
The term "online community�? has gotten a bad rap in the business world since the late 90's and I think I know why. "Community�? was held up as a cornerstone of online businesses in the late 90's. Influential books like Net Gain got executives excited about all the possibilities. The thought was that the Web would enable communities of loyal customers to form and once they do -- the cash would start rolling in. Or so they thought. In the aftermath, "online community�? has...

I've noticed interesting words coming out of my mouth lately. Mostly the words are something like: "I think the world of business communication is changing right now�? "I can feel a big wave coming�? "Something is happening right now that is really going to change the business landscape�? Often, this type of talk is prompted by "What do you do Lee?�? or "What's up with all the blog stuff I'm hearing?�? I've been trying to figure out what makes me feel so strongly... Continue Reading

Although Vladmir Putin likes to display his physical prowess and "good health" every chance he gets, the sad fact is that 25% of his fellow country men face an extraordinary high risk of dying before the age of 55 due to heavy consumption of Vodka according to a new study led by Prof Sir Richard Peto, from the University of Oxford, in the UK. This compares to 7% in the United Kingdom, and less than 1% here in the US.
In fact, life expectancy for Russian men is only 64 years, making it one of the lowest among 50 countries in that category.
"Russians have always drunk a lot. They sometimes say it's because of the cold weather but this is just an excuse. This is the nation's lifestyle that needs to change. In fact, Russian adults are known to consume an average of 20 liters of vodka annually," added. Researcher Prof David Zaridze, from the Russian Cancer Research Center " That's the main problem. It's the pattern of drinking not the per-capita amount they are drinking."
In conducting their study, the researchers followed approximately 151,000 adult males in the cities of Byisk, Barnaul and Tomask from 1999-2010, questioning them about their drinking habits. After 8,000 later died, the scientists followed up to record their causes of death and found that they included liver disease and alcohol poisoning, as well injuries from alcohol fueled fights and accidents. Others ended up with lung cancer (because they also smoked heavily while drinking).
It was also interesting to note that Peto and the others found that "Russian death rates have roller coasted during the past 30 years due to "fluctuations in alcohol restrictions and social stability varied under Presidents Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and Putin."
For instance Mikhail Gorbachev drastically cut vodka production in 1985, and forbade selling it before lunch-time, resulting in a 25% drop in drinking, as well as the overall rate of deaths. However, when Yeltsin came to power as the communist regime collapsed, "There was a huge increase in drinking and they were drinking in a destructive way. They were getting drunk on spirits and then buying and drinking more, producing a big risk of death," Peto stated. "Russia brought in stricter alcohol control measures in 2006, including raising taxes and restricting sales."
While the researchers also found that a large number of Russian women also drank heavily, they did not have enough information to draw any conclusions in their regard.
For more information about the study (which was funded by in part by the UK Medical Research Council) readers can find Peto's full report in yesterday's online issue of Lancet.

"Trio Gift Oil,Balsamic and Herbs"

Review: I recently purchased the Trio Pack: of Oil,Balsamic & Herbs, along with a double order of Wild Weathervane Scallops, to serve, on Sunday, to my
guests. What a Winner idea that turned out to be! My guests really liked the flavor the tin of Herbs added to the already delicious Scallops.
My Japanese guests added the Balsamic Vinegar to the vegetables I served. I normally used the Vinegar on my salads. I now have another tasteful use for the vinegar. Cooked vegetables were awesome tasting, when we added the vinegar.

We've accepted that our days of wearing cutesy little bikinis might be over. It's not that we don't like our bodies, it's more that we want to put a swimsuit on and keep it on, rather than spend our day at the beach readjusting a series of triangles to cover up our bits and pieces. One thing hasn't changed - we're still suckers for a polka dot; and this Popina Retro Halter One Piece Bathing Suit ($78), with its pinup aesthetic, offers more than enough sex appeal to make up for the lack of exposed midriff.

Psychiatrist to Manage Meds
|See these pages for more reviews:
The most recent Archives posting on psychiatrists who are skilled at medication management is dated August 2009, so I'm hoping for more current recommendations. I'm in the East Bay. I've been taking a well-known antidepressant for a long time, and would like to find a new psychiatrist to consult about possibly switching to something newer, since recent life events have laid me pretty low. I was previously a Kaiser member, but am not now, so I don't have access to the doctor I used to see there. I am in therapy, but have found over the years that therapy works best when my brain chemistry is working well.
I need to find a psychiatrist with a specialty in psychotropic mediations. I know that all psychiatrists prescribe medications, but I've had no luck finding someone who really knows about this in detail. Recommendations, please? Still Looking
I am hoping to find a psychiatrist that focuses on anxiety and depression. I am new to the Berkeley area and with the move etc. I have been out of my medications for a few months. It is obvious to me that I still need them and need to see a psychiatrist. Does anyone have a recommedation? Thank you. jen
My husband is looking for a good psychiatrist, preferably in the east bay, to help him get better medication for his depression, grief and anger issues. His GP prescribed the meds he's currently on, that have bad side effects, such as making him feel physically numb. He needs someone who specializes in prescribing the right meds for his issues. Thanks anon
I'm looking for a new psychiatrist to manage meds for depression. One who is skilled in the pharmacology all the available meds out there, skilled in dealing with side effects and someone who treats you like a person, returns calls and is organized. I realize I might be asking for too much, so please if you have any suggestions at I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Frustrated in Oakland
I am looking for a good Aetna HMO psychiatrist (M.D.) in the Albany/Berkeley area for my wife who takes medication. There are many to choose from and I don't know which are good. I have already looked through the psychiatrist section on the Berkeley Parents Network and none of the doctors listed are included in our health plan. Any recommendations you could offer would greatly help us Concerned Husband
One suggestion I'd have is that you get a list of psychiatrists covered by your plan and then ask for recommendations on those specific names. You'll get more responses, I think. Good luck. tca
I'm looking for a psychiatrist to help manage depression medications. Does anyone have any good (or bad) experiences to share? I specifically need help in the area of medication adjustment. I'm on Blue Cross, and have a long long list of covered providers, but would love some input to narrow my search. I'm open to an MD of either gender in the greater Berkeley or Oakland area. Thank you! anon
Dr. Rachel L. Goldstone 5835 College Avenue, Oakland, California (CA) Dr. David Lewis Cherry 2424 Dwight Way South, Berkeley, CAI can't find contact phone numbers for either of them, but if you look them up in your directory (and they are on your plan) you should be good to go. Good luck! anon
I am looking for a male Psychologists / therapist / psychiatrist that is good at helping figure out the best medication and dosage for someone with depression and anxiety. Any recommendations would be great. thanks
I really need a psychiatrist who can manage my meds (I am currently taking Prozac and Klonopin)because my PCP seems extremely apprehensive about tailoring these to my needs. Also I read on the insert that a rash is evidence of a fairly serious side effect. I have been having an unexplained reoccuring rash on my neck and the doctor just gave me some cream to clear it up. I have also recently starting having extreme leg pain and the doctor doesn't seem to know what it but guesses it is sciatica. I'm not so sure because I feel pain in the calf area as well--the entire leg really. I'm wondering if this could be a side effect as well. I would also like to investigate the possibility of talk therapy in addition to medication. Can anyone recommend a good psychiatrist (to manage meds and possible talk therapy) as well as someone that can do Adult ADD management and meds if necessary. I have Healthnet with MHN for mental health services. Someone please steer me to a good person because my frustration level is increasing and I really need my existing meds managed at least.
This has been discussed here before, but I'm newly curious about people's experiences in the world of psychopharmacology. I'd like to know the name of anyone you've had experience with who is the best, in your opinion, at dealing with the various medication options for depression. My spouse has been on a couple of different meds, and I'm growing increasingly frustrated and dissatisfied with the effects he's getting from them. He seems to think everything is fine, but he's not viewing his own behavior. I think a real top-flight doc, up on the very latest developments, with experience monitoring depression meds, might be our next step. Any advice appreciated.
Hi, I'm looking for a psychiatrist for medication management for chronic depression. I have Blue Cross and almost certainly have to pick someone from there, but I would appreciate hearing about any doctors. Thanks.
I now have found an excellent psych doc at Kaiser San Francisco- Dr. Rafael Gray. He is very smart and up-to-date, and although his style is brusque he is very compassionate. But time is very limited in Kaiser appointments and I doubt that he would be able to help me as fully if I had not had the earlier help outside Kaiser. He works with vitamins, herbs, and supplements in combination with conventional meds.
I recommend Dr. Richard Lannon in SF as a resource, 415-563-6366. He teaches at UCSF, is associated with Langley Porter, and although he is usually booked he can recommend young docs who were his students and who work closely with him. He is the most compassionate psychiatrist I have ever met (I've met a lot). anon

Hi all
1. I want bloggers to have the ability to post their P2 post on their facebook-wall as well. Is this possible in a simple, clutter free way? Like using a checkbox "post on my Facebook profile".
2. For existing P2 posts, it would be great to have a text link "share this" in the upper right corner along with the existing permalink and comment links.
Can anyone help me with this? I suppose many people would be interested in this feature as this can greatly expand blog exposure…
Thank you,

Moraine Park Technical College's Veterinary Technician program was recently awarded a provisional accreditation by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Accreditation by the AVMA Council on Education and Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities represents the highest standard of achievement for veterinary medical education in the U.S.
One of only two Veterinary Technician programs in Wisconsin, Moraine Park's program is in its second year and off to a very strong start, with a full roster of students both years.
"We were really excited to show the AVMA site team our program," said Laura Lien, BS, CVT, veterinary technician instructor and program director. "We are still working on curriculum development this semester and are constantly reviewing and taking in feedback from students, clinical supervisors and the advisory committee to make revisions and changes. We've used outside content experts for our curriculum to make sure we are on the cutting edge of veterinary medicine."
According to the AVMA Web site, www.avma.org, provisional accreditation is granted to new programs in veterinary technology where students have not completed the entire curriculum and/or the programs have not produced sufficient numbers of graduates to adequately assess outcomes. Programs may remain on provisional accreditation for up to five years. Graduates of a provisionally accredited program are graduates of an AVMA-accredited program.
"The College has shown its ability to meet or exceed the standards set by AVMA which include curriculum, physical facilities and equipment, financial, organizational, library facilities, faculty, staff, higher education accreditation, assessment and others," said Lien.
For Moraine Park graduates, the accreditation means they are eligible to sit for the national and state board exam in Wisconsin and become certified veterinary technicians if they pass, according to Lien. As AVMA-accredited graduates, they have greater mobility throughout the U.S. and Canada. Since credentialing requirements vary from state to state, the AVMA status gives graduates the best chance of being eligible for credentialing wherever they go.
Offered as an online associate degree, Moraine Park's Veterinary Technician program focuses on the basic skills needed to assist veterinarians in the overall health care, handling and restraint, and disease diagnosis and prevention of large and small animals. Students learn practical applications in animal anatomy and physiology, pharmacology and pathology, and how to assist with surgery, instrumentation and office procedures. Clinical sites are used to practice the actual procedures that veterinary technicians perform.
A second instructor, Kelly Mowell, MS, DVM, has joined Lien. Mowell moved to Wisconsin from Kansas to practice in an area that supports both dairy and small animal veterinary medicine. "The variety of cases that Wisconsin offers and the wonderful people in this state have kept me here," she said. Mowell and her family have four dogs and two cats. She enjoys participating in canine sports such as agility, obedience, hunting, tracking and conformation. In 2007, she shifted her focus from practicing veterinary medicine in the large and small animal fields to teaching at Moraine Park. "In my opinion, having a great veterinary technician more than doubles the quality and the quantity of veterinary medicine a doctor can perform," said Mowell.
Prior to becoming a Moraine Park instructor in 2006, Lien worked at the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for eight years in Large Animal Internal Medicine, where she earned the Veterinary Technician of the Year Award three times. She is working on a Veterinary Technician Specialty in Internal Medicine with the Academy of Internal Medicine for Veterinary Technicians and serving as their director-at-large for the Large Animal sub-specialization. Other accomplishments include co-authoring several published articles based on research data, developing an ancillary text for a textbook and publishing a case report in the January 2007 issue of Veterinary Technician Journal.

Premiering tomorrow on DVD is Season 4 of the popular History Channel reality show "Swamp People," which looks at life deep in the swamps of Louisiana. The tagline for the season is "Fresh Blood in the Swamp," with Season 4 marking a change in the show, which expands its scope beyond areas past the Atchafalaya River Basin to other parts of Louisiana and even Texas. This doesn't mean the action is hard to follow; even first-time viewers can jump into this season easily.
Subscribe to the National Blu-Ray Examiner for reviews and info on the latest Blu-Rays and DVDs!
Season 4 takes place during the 2012 alligator hunting season, which was delayed due to Hurricane Isaac. This means the usual 30-day season will only be 25, forcing the hunters to work harder and faster. Early episodes show the hunters taking extreme measures to fill their quota, including jumping into the water and putting the gator in a headlock.
At this point, reality television has become a slickly produced, tightly edited machine, with many of these shows using the same beats, editing tricks, "cliffhangers" etc. in order to keep viewers invested. Reality show production companies have the formula down at this point. "Swamp People" distinguishes itself by providing insight into an industry most people have never once thought about, while also featuring a fascinating panoply of born and bred Cajuns whose accents are so thick the show has to be subtitled.
If the show has a "star" it's so-called "King of the Swamp" Troy Landry, a bayou legend and master gator hunter. If this season has "villains," it would be the two Texans, T-Roy Broussard and Harlan "Bigfoot" Hatcher (so named because he never wears shoes; it's pretty gross). T-Roy and Bigfoot are portrayed as interlopers dead set on taking over as kings of the swamp. The stakes are set early, as Landry and the Texans make a not-very-friendly wager to see who will catch the largest gator during the season.
There's also an endearing guy named Glenn, who begins the season mourning the death of his younger brother. Another pair is Willie and his dad, Junior, who spend the bulk of the season arguing with each other, and a woman named Liz and her daughter who occasionally yell at each other, and a kid named ZZ with, I think it was his granddad, not to mention Landry's sons, or Jeromy and his stepdad, or Bruce and Ron, or . . .whew. As it went on, I understand why there were 22 episodes: one for seemingly each person on the show.
I was reminded of a couple of other reality shows while watching "Swamp People" - "The Deadliest Catch," which itself portrays an array of people living, working and bonding within a dangerous environment, while the down-home Cajun atmosphere and family hijinx added a bit of "Duck Dynasty" to the proceedings, although "Swamp People" isn't nearly as focused as those two shows. At times the show can get too scattered as it hops between over a dozen different indecipherable fishermen.
If you are a fan of reality television set in life-threatening conditions that are rarely portrayed on television, you'll enjoy "Swamp People," a good-if-unexceptional entry in the documentary reality genre.
A/V Quality
A highlight of the series is the second unit cinematography shot in the backwoods and bayous of Louisiana. Audio is average, but the nature footage is very good in spots, especially the aerial shots. Some of the footage appears to be shot with lower-quality Go Pro cameras, but the difference in video quality isn't too distracting.
Extras include 5 short webisodes titled "Bruce Rolls a Fatty," "Father and Son," "Bruce's Discovery," Family Froggin'," and "Daddy Dearest," totaling over 40 minutes.

TC TO JOHN RUSKIN ; 2 May 1856; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18560502-TC-JRU-01; CL 31: 78-80
Chelsea, 2 May, 1856—
Dear Ruskin,
We know not what night you are coming; but hope only it will be soon. I have got your Fourth Volume1 (best thanks for such a Gift), and have not yet time to read it except in snatches, but struggle forward towards a freer day before long. You have an enviable and admirable power of clearing off, in articulate swift piercing utterance, the divine indignation that may be lying in you against the genus charlatan; whereby you can then say, Exoneravi animam meam [I have unburdened my soul], and proceed to new enterprises: it is a very different, and I assure you a much worse case, when said indignation cannot be got cleared off, but lies sticking upon a man, like burning sulphur on the skin of him,—like to drive the poor soul mad till he some how or other do get rid of it! Euge;—and be thankful to Heaven.
It seems the genus charlatan has broken out in strong counter-cry, in some of the Reviews, this month: that also is very well, and indicates to a man that the physic has begun griping,—more power to it.2 I can well understand how a comfortable R.A. reading these Books of yours, may be driven to exclaim, "I, stiff old stager, cannot alter according to this Ruskin's precepts: I must either blow my brains out, or convince myself that he is wrong!"3— — Nevertheless I bid you be gentle withal; consider that it is a stupid bedrid old world, torpid except at meal-time this long while; and never would, in Art or elsewhere, correspond any way handsomely to the Ideal of its duties. Besides it makes a dreadful squealing, if you whip it too hard; and does you a mischief in the long run.— This is Pot speaking to Kettle, you will say,—and truly with too much reason. Pot has been longer on the fire (that is all), and regrets his extreme blackness, if he could have helped it by any method!4
I have a message for you, or indeed two messages. The first is from Lady Ashburton, a very high Lady both extrinsically and intrinsically, who invites you hereby to her Party at Bath House for Wednesday Evg next:5 the place, as you perhaps know, is in Piccadilly (first gate, to left in Bolton Street there), the hour of rally is probably 10 or after, and the Party I suppose will consist of the usual elements in their highest figure of perfection. Perhaps you will consent to have a look at such a thing in its best perfection, for once? There are very fine Pictures in the House, and many of them, Dürers, Murillos6 &c &c: and I certify the Host & Hostess to be themselves highly worth knowing. If you thought of coming, it would be pleasantest if we all went together;—tho' that, for practical result, is not of the least moment:—we two (unfortunately, I may well call it) are to dine previously that night, somewhere in the Portman Square region;7 and wd need to be taken up there (with a good loss of distance to you) if you pleased to like that method of entrance. Either way will do, if indeed you decided to go at all; which I may privately hope or not, but have no business to advise or desire in an audible manner.
The second message is from Lord Ashburton: You made an Address at Manchester lately; which perhaps was printed, separately or at least in the Newspapers:8 his Lordship (an amiable, clear-minded, highminded man,—uniformly high in volitions at least) desires to see a copy of this address; and bids me ask it of you. Comply if you can; even take a little trouble to comply.
And this is all I had at present: sufficient for the day is the evil thereof!9 You will have to write your determinations on those important points. We are out on Saturday Evg, not otherwise, nor like to be, except as here indicated.
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

British singer Sam Smith has hit the music world by storm. His hit single "Stay With Me" continues to dominate radio waves and the charts. Smith's cover of Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know" has made fans out of people who weren't familiar with his name or voice before. With success, however, comes a glimpse into Smith's personal life. As an openly gay singer, Smith wants to be seen as just a singer, but offered advice in an interview Friday to those who are gay and are debating coming out publicly.
Smith has been touring and promoting his debut album "In The Lonely Hour" released last week. The album as soared to No. 2 on Billboard after its first week with 166,000 copies sold. As his music becomes more and more popular, Smith doesn't want his sexuality to define who he is as an artist. After coming out publicly a few weeks ago, Smith wants to remain focused on delivering the message of his music. He never saw his sexuality as a big deal. He says, "It's actually tough for me sometimes to put myself in that mindset, because it has just been such a normality for me."
The "Stay With Me" singer has seemingly become more popular since coming out, but it may have to do more with the message of his songs rather than who he's referring to in the songs. He is able to still express the lyrics in a universal style that has music listeners of any sexual orientation relating and understanding his emotion. But that is not stopping Smith from delivering a message to those who are struggling with his sexuality.
He offered some coming out advice in his interview with Fresh 102.7. The soulful singer told the Jim & Kim Morning Show, "I would say 'just be yourself. Just be yourself. Don't make it an issue...Let's make it a normality. To make it equal, we need to act equal. Everything just needs to focus on themselves as individuals and do what makes them happy - and be brave."
Smith's debut album, which is about unrequited love, contains music he feels can help his listeners because of the place he is singing from. The love that wasn't returned from the guy he fell in love with last year, is the love he turned inwards and therefore has helped him heal internally and more expressive as an artist.

I have a child theme with its own home custom page template called "template-home.php" (Template Name: Home Template). I have a "Home" page which uses this template. Everything works fine as long as my Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays is set as "Your latest posts".
But if I set Front page as a static page and I set this page as the "Home" page (which uses the home page template), then WordPress picks the Home page template of the parent theme.
Why is that?
Extra info: the parent theme has the same "template-home.php" attached to the same "Home" page, and has not any home.php or front-page.php file.

The publishing industry has been trying to break through the wall of profit for content online as it is more cost efficient to produce online than the pay cost of printing. So far the process of receiving paid subscriptions and advertising money has not reached a profitable formula solution. Bitcoin may be the answer offers Nick Chowdry of the UK on Coin Desk today.
The online publishing world takes away the cost of print but the subscription fees are still an issue. Some like the New York Times makes $150 million a year in advertising but others have not reached a workable formula. Once reason is that the paywall requires a subscription with credit card. Most need to charge at least $14.99 due to merchant fees that are up 2-3 percent of the subscription cost.
There are a couple of obstacles to overcome. Some do not want to pay the subscription fee as the whole package of content is not desired. Some news online media provide availability of access to a few articles or options of limited access to articles. Certain online media providers such as Nature Journal will ask a payment for a complete pdf download of the whole article after the introductory summary.
Section of content to be purchased and viewed is becoming popular and known as the paywall when a subscriber's money payment has payment options. It is known as hard and soft paywall depending upon how much content you want to read and make a purchase of access to content.
Some potential subscribers balk at the personal information to submit with the card number in order to gain access. Reduction of online exposure is becoming a serious concern to the online user and the online media publication or blog site.
Bitcoin has the ability to assist in maintaining privacy and a cost efficient solution for online media providers to accept forms of fees for subscription or content access. Success with use of BitWall has been successfully done in a trial by the Chicago Sun-Times. Bit Wall provides the site user an easy way to implement a bitcoin paywall payment. Bitcoin is seconds of implementation time to transact a payment and go anywhere in the world with a click on the computer. The Chicago Sun-Times partners with Coinbase to accept bitcoin payments due to the success of the payment trial.
It is the number of clicks on an article that brings in the ad money. The more clicks can reduce the amount of small banner and other intrusive ads on an online media site. The answer still lies in quality and engaging content but also a cost efficient method to pay for the media access. Providing anonymity is a big plus to gain the nearly 25 percent that shy away from online purchases according to the Harris Poll study in late March.
Hopefully, the vision into the future of Bitcoin can be the answer to the monetization of the journalism world. The Sun-Times entry into Bitcoin acceptance is a hopeful sign for online publishers and Bitcoin that this interest in payment systems has potential.

Reality Steve is fantastic at finding out spoilers for "The Bachelor" franchise. He lets fans in on the secret scoop long before the season even begins to air. This season of "The Bachelorette" is no different and for months now Steve has been insisting that farmer Chris Soules will be named the new "Bachelor" for the 2015 season. He has been saying this until today! Reality Steve went to his blog on Thursday to share with fans that he is not sure who the next "Bachelor" will be.
While Steve still feels that Chris has a good chance of being named the new king of roses, there is another man in the running for the job. Arie Luyendyk, Jr. is also a strong candidate for the gig, which is set to air in January 2015. Arie was the runner-up in Emily Maynard's season of "The Bachelorette." He is a race car driver and definitely a fan favorite.
Radar Online reported the news initially on Tuesday about the apparent competition between the two men. They said Arie has already been filmed some in Arizona and that a personal trainer was sent by the franchise to get him ready for the TV screen. So where does this leave farmer Chris? Reports are also out that he has been speaking with the production crew and is flying out to Los Angeles to meet with Mike Fleiss himself. They are making it interesting and are keeping everyone guessing, including Reality Steve!
Steve says that professionally he would probably go with Arie, who would bring more "sizzle and shock value." Personally he said he would choose Chris, a safe bet. Chris was just sent home by Andi Dorfman as the third runner-up on the current season. Either way one of these guys will probably be the new "Bachelor" and these two men are complete opposites! Which of these two would you rather see handing out roses?
Nobody is sure when the announcement will be made. In the past it has been made during the live "After the Final Rose" showing, but with "Bachelor in Paradise" beginning in a week that is not definite. Until then fans do not want to miss the season finale of "The Bachelorette" and "After the Final Rose" which will both air Monday night on ABC at 7 p.m. CST.

Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy fans are still talking about the love connection between these two. They have both denied that they are more than friends. On Monday, The Epoch Times shared that another dancer on the show says that there is not a love connection. These reports say that they are just really good at acting.
Mark Ballas spoke out saying that yes Meryl and Maks have a great relationship. He also had a good relationship with his partner Candace Cameron Bure even though she is married to another man. Mark feels like Meryl and Maks just have great chemistry on the dance floor and nothing more. He shared that dancing is about acting and if you are both single and don't make people wonder than you aren't doing it right.
Fans of Maks and Meryl really hoped that there was more to this relationship than just friends. They are denying it, Mark doesn't think there is more and Val Chmerkovskiy even denied it as well. The two have been spotted out together but not often or showing off any PDA. He kissed her on the forehead but that was about it. There is no proof that they are more than friends and just really people assuming from what they saw on the show.
Bustle also shared the news that Maks is headed to India to work on "Dancing With the Stars: India." This is not a permanent position though. He is simply heading over there to be a guest judge on the show. He has not shared yet if he will be back on "DWTS" next season or not but fans hope to see him again on the dance floor. If not, you never know who might show up on the judge's table next season. If Len Goodman really does leave the show, they will have to find someone to replace him and Maks has said he would love the job.

I have a Desktop PC (Windows XP) with two network adapters, one called "Local Network Area 2" and another one "Local Network Area 3".
The adapter marked as "Local Network Area 3" is connected to the office router to get internet and LAN connection.
The another adapter is for my RaspberryPi, which is connected via crossover cable. The problem that i have is that I can't connect to this mini-computer via SSH (using puTTY) using the crossover cable. I already tried changing the IP settings in this adapter, but i can't connect anyway because i don't know what IP (if any) is the raspberry getting. I also tried scanning IPs trying to detect it, but it doesn't appear. The OS running in RaspberryPi is Debian Linux (Raspbian).
What is the correct configuration that i have to do with the adapter?
