This report describes our efforts on quantification of tissue metabolite concentrations in mM by nuclear Overhauser enhanced and proton decoupled (13) C magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the Electric Reference To access In vivo Concentrations (ERETIC) method. Previous work showed that a calibrated synthetic magnetic resonance spectroscopy-like signal transmitted through an optical fiber and inductively coupled into a transmit/receive coil represents a reliable reference standard for in vivo (1) H magnetic resonance spectroscopy quantification on a clinical platform. In this work, we introduce a related implementation that enables simultaneous proton decoupling and ERETIC-based metabolite quantification and hence extends the applicability of the ERETIC method to nuclear Overhauser enhanced and proton decoupled in vivo (13) C magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In addition, ERETIC signal stability under the influence of simultaneous proton decoupling is investigated. The proposed quantification method was cross-validated against internal and external reference standards on human skeletal muscle. The ERETIC signal intensity stability was 100.65 ± 4.18% over 3 months including measurements with and without proton decoupling. Glycogen and unsaturated fatty acid concentrations measured with the ERETIC method were in excellent agreement with internal creatine and external phantom reference methods, showing a difference of 1.85 ± 1.21% for glycogen and 1.84 ± 1.00% for unsaturated fatty acid between ERETIC and creatine-based quantification, whereas the deviations between external reference and creatine-based quantification are 6.95 ± 9.52% and 3.19 ± 2.60%, respectively.

Heart Health Center
Expert Panel: Omega-6 Won't Hurt Heart
Jan. 26, 2009 -- The American Heart Association (AHA) has come to the defense of omega-6 fatty acids, the fats found in many grains and most vegetable oils that some have linked to heart disease.
In a scientific advisory released today, an AHA panel noted that there is little credible evidence that omega-6 fatty acids promote inflammation and increase cardiovascular risk.
The experts concluded that reducing omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from their current levels would be more likely to increase the typical American's risk for heart disease than decrease it.
"Our goal was simply to let Americans know that foods containing omega-6 fatty acids can be part of a healthy diet, and can even help improve your cardiovascular risk profile," researcher and panel chairman William S. Harris, PhD, notes in a news release.
Good Fat, Bad Fat?
Harris tells WebMD that the advisory was issued to clear up confusion about omega-6, which has been cast as a dietary villain by some in the nutrition community.
Barry Sears, PhD, who created the Zone Diet, is the most well-known proponent of the idea that dietary omega-6 fatty acids promote inflammation and heart disease.
In his latest book, Sears claims that heart disease and many other chronic diseases can largely be blamed on the fact that the Western diet contains too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3, the fat found primarily in salmon and other fatty fish.
He argues that high-carbohydrate diets that contain high levels of omega-6-rich grains and vegetable oils promote chronic disease by producing the inflammatory arachidonic acid (AA).
But Harris says there is no proof that omega-6 from vegetable sources promotes inflammation and plenty of evidence that eating grains and vegetable oils protects the heart.
The AHA panel reviewed the scientific evidence examining the impact of omega-6 PUFAs on the risk of heart and cardiovascular disease.
Their analysis of more than two dozen studies reveals that:
- People in observational studies who ate the most omega-6 fatty acids typically had lower rates of heart disease than people who ate the least.
- Patients with heart disease tended to have lower levels of omega-6 in their blood than people without the disease.
- People in controlled trials who ate diets high in omega-6 were less likely to develop heart disease than those who ate diets that were low in omega-6.

George Clooney and Girlfriend to Strip Down in Underwear Ad?
George Clooney's girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis not only likes seeing her man in his briefs, but she also wants everyone else to see him in his underwear, too.
The National Enquirer reports that Canalis asked Clooney to pose alongside her in a new Roberto Cavalli underwear ad.
According to the tabloid, Cavalli execs came up with the idea of having Clooney rock "tighty-whities" in a new his-and-her ad after Canalis' recent spread for the brand generated a huge response.
The Italian model is said to have "shivered in excitement" when the design house approached her with the idea, and "immediately tried to sell Loverboy on letting it all – or some of it, anyway – hang out."
Unfortunately, however, the Oscar winner was not feeling the idea, says the Enquirer.
Clooney "admitted he was flattered," reports the mag, "but turned the offer down flat, saying it's just NOT the image he wants to convey."
For real?
A rep for the star tells Gossip Cop the story is blatantly "not true."
Once again, the Enquirer has been exposed.

Torrington Apartments
Torrington Skyscraper in GTA LCS.
|Torrington, Staunton Island
|206,5 m (677,5 ft)
The Torrington Skyscraper is a 206,5 m (677,5 ft) high-rise apartment located on Staunton Island at Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
The skyscraper is located on the district of Torrington in Downtown Staunton, sharing the same block with 366 one block from The Big Shot Casino in territory controlled by the Yakuza. In GTA III (2001) is only known that a building is not important, whereas in GTA LCS (1998) is inhabited by Toshiko Kasen who engages the services of Toni Cipriani to ruin their business and plans her spouse, which also witnessed the death of Toshiko to see her husband's death is true, and decides to commit suicide by throwing themselves from his apartment window. The building is blue green in GTA LCS GTA III but is shown as a lighter green transparent being watched from a distance.

February 24 is National Tortilla Chip Day and what better way to celebrate than with the new Pringles tortilla chips.
The new Pringles® Tortillas are crunchy corn tortilla chips, in the iconic Pringles shape, loaded with delicious, taste bud-tingling flavors. Available in original, southwestern ranch or nacho cheese flavors, they taste so good that dipping is optional.
We were asked to sample the new tortilla chips and since we are big fans of Pringles, we asked them send us a few flavors. They Southwestern ranch flavor Pringles tortilla chips come in the same type can as their potato chips do so we knew that the chips would arrive in one piece. There were a few broken chips on the top, but certainly not as many as we would find in a bag of chips. As we opened the can, the aroma of salsa came through. They smelled fabulous. They were crunchy, light and the cooling flavor of ranch hits your tongue first followed by a hint of salsa. These are NOT the type of chips that burn the outer layer of your tongue with burning spices. They offer just a hint of spiciness that is perfect for everybody. We savored the nice flavor and sweetness of corn along with the hint of spice after the chips were gone.
Most of us use tortilla chips as a medium for gobbling up our favorite dips, so tasting the chip alone was only the first part of the test. We had two dips in the house that would work with these chips. The first was ranch dressing. We scooped up a little ranch on the nacho cheese chip and the flavor meld was nice. Then we tried salsa. We did not think that the salsa added much to the flavor of the chip. It was good, but not great. While we did not have any available to test, we thought that these might be incredible with bean dip and guacamole.
The chips are a little fragile though, so if you are going to use them to scoop up bean dip or heavy guacamole, you may want to spoon the dip on the chip.
All in all, these chips are really good. They have a bold flavor, crunchy with a light texture and are truly delicious. The fact that they come in cans and maintain their shape is definitely a plus.
Besides eating them as chips, it is easy to see other uses for them. They would make a fabulous crust for a savory, Mexican-type pie or casserole and they would be wonderful crumbled on top of a dip, frijoles or anything you enjoy.
They are now available at most grocery and mass retailers in the Phoenix area for a suggested retail price of $1.79. For more information on new Pringles Tortillas, visit Pringles.

Trust Administration
Through the use of trusts you can help to protect your accumulated wealth for yourself and spouse, children, other family and organizations you may want to benefit.
A trustee may perform a wide range of tasks - from managing a child's education trust to distributing money on behalf of an incapacitated family member to administering a charitable trust. That's why it's critical to choose a trustee that has integrity and the expertise to properly handle all of the details necessary to ensure smooth administration. Read the sidebar to the left to understand what a trustee does.
Some people choose to name their spouse, a close family member or trusted friend as the trustee. (In the case of a revocable living trust, you can name yourself as trustee.) Or they may prefer to name an unbiased independent third party, such as a bank trust department. To review important factors to consider when choosing a trustee, click here.
Types of Trusts
A very common type of trust is the Living Trust. One form of that is the Revocable Living Trust, created during your lifetime for the benefit of yourself and family, and may continue on for many years. It's called "Revocable" because you can revoke, or terminate the trust. You can also amend, or change the terms of the trust during your lifetime.
Another form of Living Trust is an Irrevocable Trust, one that you cannot change or terminate. These are useful for making larger gifts to charity or family, or in situations where you can't keep a measure of control without risking the loss of favorable estate and income tax treatments.
The other common type of trust is the Testamentary Trust. Here, you create the trust within your Will, and name the trustee to manage the trust property for your beneficiaries after settlement of your estate.
These types of trusts can lead to useful estate planning tools where we can also serve as trustee, including:
- Charitable Remainder Trusts
- Charitable Lead Trusts
- Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts
- Grantor Retained Unitrusts
- Marital Trusts
- Family Trusts
- Credit Shelter Trusts
- Q-Tip Trusts
- Life Insurance Trusts
- Standby Trusts

EMT-Paramedic Certificate
The Emergency Medical Services Program offers the licensed EMT-A with one year of active squad experience an opportunity to enroll in courses leading to the EMT-Intermediate (EMT-I) or EMT-Paramedic (EMT-P) status. The EMT-I program is a one summer session course. The EMT-P Program involves two semesters and summer sessions.
EMS111 is designed to allow the Ohio certified EMS-I to complete paramedic training by passing EMS108. Students should see the program director for more details.
EMS Program application/admissions criteria are identified in the college catalog.
The student admitted to the college and desiring acceptance to the EMT-I and EMT-P programs must satisfy college admission requirements and:

4. Provide official forms to document dates of recent tetanus immunization, TB test or chest X-ray, hepatitis vaccine, and physical examination prior to clinical experience;
5. Report as requested for personal interview with the EMT-P program director;
6. Not be currently charged with, incarcerated for, and/or on parole/probation for a felony charge.
While in supervised clinical training and after employment, the paramedic works under the direction of a physician. Knowing that the paramedic is a direct extension of the hospital-based physician, the EMT-P can serve as the physician's eyes, ears, and hands in the street or in the home -- anywhere that EMS is needed.
Essential attributes of the EMS candidate include demonstration by testing of academic potential, good physical health, the ability to relate well to people with calm, confident and rational judgment, and a thorough understanding of the operation of the EMS system. The EMT is a needed professional in pre-hospital care.
Given the knowledge, skill, and field experience, the EMT-Paramedic graduate will be able to:
1. Perform routine EMT-basic skills, including personal safety.
2. Initiate appropriate intravenous procedures as authorized by medical command or protocol.
3. Demonstrate professional conduct and interpersonal communication skills with patients, co-workers, and other health care professionals.
4. Decide priorities of emergency treatment according to scene and assessment findings.
5. Record and communicate data effectively to medical authority.
6. Initiate and continue pre-hospital care under medical control, including the recognition of present conditions, assessment of the patient and initiation of appropriate therapies.
7. Perform life-saving skills authorized by medical control in trauma and medical emergencies.
8. Evaluate and adjust the treatments according to patient response.
9. Meet the state of Ohio/National Registry requirements of the EMT-Paramedic examination.
The program director is Instructor Michael Freeman. His office number is 740.266.9757.

Learn Tai Chi Today
You can learn tai chi through the internet. It may seem like an intense and difficult method to learn online but that's not true. There are several great tai chi health centers, tai chi practice websites and online forums by which you can learn tai chi as quickly as possible. To help you out, we've listed a few steps by which you can find the best websites to learn tai chi online.
Step 1 – Check your body fitness and overall health to learn tai chi.
There are no minimal health requirements to learn tai chi as a mental, martial and spiritual routine. In fact, anyone can learn tai chi and practice it. It is particularly recommended for those people who have stressful lifestyles and who suffer from chronic medical conditions and low energy levels. Anyone from any age group or strength can practice this discipline and learn tai chi and yoga. We do suggest that you first get yourself checked over completely before starting the workout though just in case. We do not recommend pregnant women, people with joint problems, or heart problems to learn tai chi without medical supervision.
Step 2 – Choose the right martial stream and Chinese master to learn tai chi.
There are several different ways to learn tai chi. You can learn tai chi through a class. We suggest you first learn tai chi through reading so that you can understand the philosophy underlying the art. You can then choose a qigong form of training that is right for you. You can also learn tai chi through books and CDs. However, the best way to learn tai chi is through the auspices of a master. You can also learn tai chi from an advanced student.
Step 3 – Choose and learn tai chi that fits your physical lifestyle and health requirements.
The six most popular styles to learn tai chi are the Chen, Wu, Sun, Wu-Hao, Yang and the Fa styles. However, there are more than a thousand different streams that include physical training, meditation, and martial arts that you can learn tai chi from and we suggest you research it completely. There are over a 100 different styles that you can pick when you learn tai chi. However, not all of these styles will suit you. The only similarity in all these styles when you learn tai chi is the breathing pattern and the movements that are designed to be slow and gentle.
Step 4- Learn tai chi over a 12 month period.
You cannot learn tai chi in a month or even two months. Most masters expect students to experience the art and learn tai chi over a period of one to two years. Even after learning the art, you have to practice it at a center or at a class in groups. This is because most qigong practitioners believe that group energy and training can improve physical health more than private classes.
You can easily learn tai chi online through internet websites, tai chi practice centers, and through online forums. We hope that these tips have helped you out. Do get in touch with us for additional information about where to learn tai chi online.
Chi Kung
Chi kung is another term used to refer to Qigong and it is a very popular philosophy of life and health in China. The art of Chi Kung is thousands of years old and the exact origin of the Chi Kung art is not known. According to Chinese medicants, the Chi Kung philosophy combines several different theories for perfect body and health. Over time, the Chi Kung philosophy was refined and targeted on the human body to ensure that the mind and body was attuned to each other and in perfect health.
What is Chi Kung?
According to Chinese medicants, the Chi Kung focuses on healing the mind and body. Chi Kung believes that the human body is filled with energy that flows along the routes of blood. As blood flows in the human body, the body is alive and energized. In sickness, this Chi Kung energy is blocked due to a restriction of blood flow. As a result, Chinese Chi Kung practitioners believe that redirecting the energy could improve blockages and improve perfusion of the human body. Not much is known about the actual workings of the Chi Kung philosophy though as Chi Kung masters generally teach their students the art and it remains a closely guarded secret. As the student progresses in the Chi Kung art, it is believed that they also progress in mental clarity and they reach higher levels of spiritual awareness. Although scientific studies have not proved the relationship between Chi Kung and better health, most Chi Kung practitioners have stated that they feel better after one or two sittings.
Where can I learn about the Chi Kung philosophy?
We suggest you go online to find a good Chi Kung master who is located close to you. There are several non-profit Chi Kung organizations that will be more than happy to guide you. Get in touch with a Chi Kung master and learn about their philosophy of Chi Kung. This is very important as there are over a thousand different forms of the ancient art. If you don't have the time to attend a fulltime Chi Kung class, there are also online forums and streaming classes that you will be able to attend. Most doctors do recommend Chi Kung routines even to patients who have chronic medical conditions. The reasoning for this is that Chi Kung itself is a very simple and easy art. The body is not stressed out and it focuses on reducing stress and improving overall health. A few practitioners will also be able to carry out massage routines on the body as well.

Gail asked: How do I clean unfinished wood? I think it's pine. Our dining room table has wine and food stains on it. I once used olive oil, but it did not remove the stains that well. It's unfinished wood, so I'm not sure how to clean it and also protect the wood.
If you've had the misfortune of finding unwanted stains on your unfinished wood, you've learned firsthand why experts recommend a protective coat over wood surfaces. Whether you'll ever be able to remove the stain depends on a couple of factors, namely, the type and condition of the wood and the kind of stain you're dealing with, but under the best of circumstances many stains will be permanent. Still, you may improve or eradicate the stain by following these steps.
You Will Need:
- Fine grit sandpaper
Steps to Remove the Stain:
- Using fine grit sandpaper, lightly sand the surface.
- Pause frequently to wipe away the dust and check your progress.Also, ensure you are not sanding so much wood away that you leave a depression.
- Repeat until the stain is gone or until you start to wear away the wood.
- If the sanding is noticeable, lightly scuff the rest of the surface with the sandpaper so it matches.
Additional Tips and Advice
- Pine is a soft wood and quickly absorbs stains. Harder woods are more likely to only be stained at the surface, therefore increasing your chance of successful stain removal.
- If you get the stain out, consider finishing the wood with a clear protective finish. If you can't get the stain out, consider applying a wood stain over the entire surface to "hide" the unwanted color.
- Oily food stains rarely come out of wood. However, one site user has reported having success at removing an oil stain from unfinished wood using hydrogen peroxide.

Sophia Nash's Regency Romance, Between the Duke and The Deep Blue Sea begins after a night of debauchery. One of many in the retinue of the Prince of Wales, Alexander Barclay, the Duke of Kress takes the Prince Regent's wrath when scandal erupts all over England due to their exploits. Not that either Alex or the Prince have any memory of what happened that night. Doesn't matter. The Prince charges Alex and his friends to find respectable marriages and settle down—as soon as inhumanly possible.
A survivor of the Reign of Terror, and of prison time during the Pennisular War, Alex would rather just be left alone.
Lady Roxanne Vanderhaven has a predicament. Married to a lord who couldn't care a whit about her mining fortune, he's left her to dangle off the side of a cliff. She's lucky to have Alex happen by and as he saves her she convinces him to take her home with him—and say nothing to her husband of her survival. She concocts an alias and settles into his home. And all the while the two work together to bring the wayward Lord to shame.
Between the Duke and the Deep Blue Sea is a different kind of Regency Romance than you may be used to. A witty, prince and pauper-type love story full of charming characters. I, for one, fell in love with Roxanne as much as I did Alex—not to mention Alex's aunt and several of their friends. It is the first in Sophia Nash's Royal Entourage series. If you'd like to check it out, the book is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
The morning after the most scandalous bachelor party of the century, the dukes of the royal entourage must face all of London's fury . . . when not one of them can remember a thing.
Roxanne Vanderhaven always believed herself the perfect wife. But when her husband, the Earl of Paxton, leaves her clinging to the edge of a cliff, she's forced to face the truth: she married a murderous blackguard. Her eventual rescuer, Alexander Barclay, Duke of Kress, is one of England's most disreputable peers—a member of the notorious royal entourage, no less–and certainly the last man she can count on. Indeed, the Prince Regent himself exiled Barclay to Cornwall, and now, by decree, the dashing duke must seek a royal bride to regain favor and help quell the public's fury against the excesses of the crown.
Roxanne desperately wants a new life—after she's uncovered the cause of her husband's despicable actions—and she finds herself drawn, most surprisingly, to her unlikely champion. The Duke of Kress may not be quite the scoundrel he appears…but if she gives him her heart, will Roxanne be making the same mistake twice?
**I give this 4 1/2 stars.

Saudi princesses are reportedly being held captive in a Saudi palace, and the princesses have reached out with an impassioned plea for the West to intervene. Two daughters of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia say they are confined to the palace's castle compound in Jeddah – and have been for over a decade – in what is being called a fairy tale nightmare.
According to the Inquisitr on March 13, Saudi princesses Sahar and Jawaher Abdullah sent an email to the UN and to The Sunday Times of London requesting intervention, saying they're being held against their will by their father and king.
UK's Sunday Times broke the story, stating the daughters sent their plea from the closely guarded villa that they share on the palace grounds. Their petition to the UN included details on two of their sisters who they say are also being held under duress.
Per the Times:
Princesses Sahar, 42, and Jawaher, 38, have appealed for help in emails and phone calls to The Sunday Times from the closely guarded villa they say they share.
"We slowly watch each other fading into nothingness," they wrote in an email.
They said their sister Hala, 39, held alone in another villa, had told them "that her mind is slipping away. . . that the life is being sucked out of her . . ."
A fourth sister, Maha, 41, is also held separately in another villa in the palace compound, they said.
The princesses' explosive claims open a window onto the usually closed world of the secretive royal family in a country where women's rights are strictly curtailed.
The allegations made by the princesses were submitted to the UN human rights office. Xabier Celaya, of the UN's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, confirmed receipt of the complaints, but would not comment on any timeline for a response or if the assertions were even actionable.
Celaya said that U.N. officials are "not in a position to confirm if any action has been taken on this case."
According to the Inquisitr, the princesses' mother Alanoud Alfayez, who is divorced from the king and now lives in London, has also interceded on behalf of her daughters, communicating to the UN that the girls are "cut off from the world."
The Inquisitr rounds out the rest of this bizarre story:
The imprisoned princesses allegedly got their father's disapproval because of their reputation of being "party-going" women, as well as their vocal opinion toward the poverty situation in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi law states that the Saudi King can legally compel his daughters to remain within the confines of the palace by virtue of his right to limit their travel. All females are required to have a male guardian like a father, brother, or husband.

Ramsey Detective Describes 'Stun Gun' Photos
Lou Smit Releases Crime Scene Photos On National TV
A former investigator said Tuesday that police ignored evidence that a stun gun may have been used on JonBenet Ramsey because it didn't fit their theory that her parents killed her. Lou Smit (pictured, left), a retired homicide detective, appeared on NBC's "Today" show as part of a weeklong series on the death of 6-year-old JonBenet, found beaten and strangled in the basement of her Boulder home on Dec. 26, 1996. Smit showed autopsy photos that red marks on JonBenet's face and back that he believes were caused by a stun gun. Smit believes an intruder killed JonBenet. Smit came out of etirement at the request of then-District Attorney Alex Hunter to elp with the investigation but quit in 1998 because he felt uthorities were wrongly concentrating on the parents, John and Patsy Ramsey. "Stun gun marks are very specific, very specific. Once you know hat they look like, it's not hard to distinguish what they are," mit said. A Denver-area forensic pathologist who examined the autopsy potos for Boulder police said that s theory is plausible. "Unless some other evidence is presented to me, the most likely xplanation for those injuries is that they were caused by a stun un," Dr. Michael Doberson told "Today." No one has been arrested in JonBenet's death, and a grand jury adjourned in 1999 without issuing indictments. Boulder authorities saod that John and Patsy Ramsey remain under suspicion. The Ramseys have repeatedly denied any involvement in their daughter's death and included Smit's stun-gun theory in their book, "The Death of Innocence." They said a pedophile attracted by JonBenet's participation in child beauty pageants is probably the culprit. Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner didn't return a call Tuesday. He said in a written statement Monday he would not debate the case publicly. In the past, Beckner has cautioned against jumping to conclusions about the marks on JonBenet, saying the evidence contradicts Smit's theory. No stun gun was found in the Ramsey house, however informational material for a stun gun was found. Smit said that he believes JonBenet was incapacitated by a stun gun, taken to the basement and attacked. Smit said that two marks on JonBenet's face and two on her back were about 3.5 centimeters apart and were likely made while she was alive because they were red. "You have to explain the fresh marks on JonBenet. Especially on her face. They weren't seen on any of the Christmas photos of any of the photos taken that day of JonBenet," he said. He thinks a vent pipe running from the basement acted like a megaphone to the outside, carrying JonBenet's cries. He noted a neighbor reported hearing cries around midnight and 2 a.m. but the parents said they heard nothing. In experiments by investigators, noise from the basement couldn't be heard three floors up in the Ramseys' bedroom, Smit said. Patsy Ramsey called 911 and reported finding a 2 1/2-page ransom note demanding $118,000 for JonBenet's safe return. John Ramsey found her body in a windowless basement room next to the boiler room about seven hours after the 911 call.

Friday nite's beer review: Ayinger von Aying
What I am enjoying tonite is a reddish-brown, and if that's what the prefix "alt" in "altbairisch" means, top-fermented brew from Aying, Bavaria (the actual color is lighter than it looks in the picture). It has a nice flavor reminiscent of the wheat beers that I have reviewed (Franziskaner and Hefeweizen). Unlike those wheat beers, however, this one is filtered (not that the turbidity bothers me). It is only slightly sweet and there is no bitter aftertaste.
Ein gutes Bier, ja?

Mornings go more smoothly when children are eager to go to school. At the start of the school year, most kids are psyched to return to the routine of a classroom alongside their friends. However, keeping kids interested over the long haul can be challenging. As the weeks march on, new shoes lose their luster and backpacks begin to tear; kids can wear down, too. If your child's interest in school begins to wane, you can follow these simple steps to rekindle the excitement.
Get involved—Demonstrate that school is important by attending back-to-school nights and other school-sponsored events. Even consider joining the PTA, volunteering to chaperone field trips or organizing a classroom party.
Stay engaged—Ask your child specific questions about the day, such as: "Tell me something new you learned today?" "What book are you reading in your reading group?" "Who did you sit with at lunch?" "What games did you play during P.E.?" Showing an interest in his day demonstrates that you value his education. It also keeps the lines of communication open.
Acknowledge effort and celebrate success—Look over all work that comes home during the week, then comment — positively — on what you see. Praise your child when she makes a good grade or shows extra effort on a project. When her efforts result in an exceptional success, feel free to reward her. For example, take her out for ice cream when her essay is published in the school newspaper. Just be careful not to over-reward; you don't want her to come to expect material goods or celebrations for merely doing her best. The intrinsic value of her hard work and self-pride, combined with your own appreciation and encouragement, should be incentive enough in the long run.
Set a good example—Even if you're feeling cranky, tired or reluctant about going to work, don't let it show. Remain upbeat during breakfast by remembering your kids will take your cue on how to approach their day.
Help children stay organized—Be sure your child has a system in place for keeping track of homework deadlines. Assist him with establishing a routine for ensuring that homework and projects get done and turned into his teacher(s) on time. Set up a distraction-free study area and figure out the best time for him to do homework. Some prefer to come straight home from school and tackle it, while others need an hour of downtime before they focus on their studies.
Help your child become a joiner— Encouraging kids to be involved and engaged in the world around them increases confidence in their social skills, which can positively impact the school day. Extracurricular activities, such as soccer or swimming, provide a great outlet for kids who benefit from being active and part of a team. Be sure to check out which activities the school offers. If none appeals to your child, perhaps look into club sports or activities at private organization.
Encourage peer relationships—Encourage your child to invite a classmate over for a play date or family outing. Children who feel connected to their classmates feel more connected to their schools. If you have a shy child who has trouble making friends, talk with the teacher or school counselor. Many elementary counselors facilitate "friendship support groups" to help children connect with peers.
One final tip is to show your children that learning is lifelong by allowing them to see you continue to learn. Read books in front of your children, take a class or let them watch you learn a new skill. Your enthusiasm for learning demonstrates the importance of learning and may just encourage them to keep up with their studies – and like it!

As a Canadian I have a problem with this.
The facts remain that the EU (Portugal and Spain mostly) commercially fished the Canadian Grand Banks to near extinction (dredge netting destroyed the spawning grounds) and now they (The EU) have the audacity to condemn the seal harvest.
The harp seals are now the problem with the recovery of the grand bank cod fishery.
The problem only gets worst when you see that the seals are a major food source for polar bears.
Europeans can be so self righteous it sickens me, stay home and forget about the free trade agreement!

DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois men's tennis team collected a quartet of academic awards from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, including a Division I Academic Team award. It is the first academic team award for the program under Head Coach Patrick Fisher."I'm really happy about our guy's earning this team award and earn it they did," said Fisher. "This was one of our goals going into the 2012-2013 season. Not many programs can claim winning on the court and in the classroom like we have done here at NIU and we expect both in our program. It has been over ten years since we last were recognized for this team award and I think the guys should be proud."During the Huskies 2013 spring campaign, in which the Huskies finished the season 16-9 and advanced to the Mid-American Conference Championship final, Northern Illinois' nine athletes combined for a spring grade point average of 3.37, raising the team's cumulative GPA to 3.23.Two Huskies, sophomore Frederic Cadieux (Verdun, Quebec, Canada/Ediuard-Montpetit) and junior Jovan Zeljkovic (Banja Luka, Bosnia/CSC Grammar School), earned a flawless 4.0 GPA during the spring semester while freshman Simon Formont (Orléans, France/Lycée Camille Claudel) finished the spring with a 3.80 GPA. Cadieux was a second team All-MAC pick as well as an Academic All-Mid American Conference selection last spring.NIU will return six letterman from last season, including first team All-MAC selections Dor Amir (Tel Aviv, Israel) and Axel Lagerlof (Malmo, Sweden/Malmo Borgar School). The Huskies won the MAC Regular Season Championship in 2012 with a 21-7 register and went on to advance to the MAC Tournament final in 2013.NIU, alongside Western Michigan, were one of two Mid-American Conference teams to earn the team academic award from the ITA.The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All eligible student-athletes whose names appear on the NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA/CA JUCO eligibility form and have competed in one or more varsity matches must average into the GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2012 and spring 2013).In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letter winner, 2.) have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and 3.) have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman thorough senior year).For more news on the NIU men's tennis team, follow the Huskies on Twitter @NIUathletics, on Facebook by liking "NIU Huskies" and online at NIUHuskies.com.

Newt the libertarian on technology issues?
How would the world look differently today if Newt hadn't been there to stop many attempts to regulate technology? From Politico:
. . . Twenty years ago, Gingrich's appreciation of technology was more novel among Republicans, showing that there was a conservative libertarian interest in preserving the burgeoning Internet from efforts to regulate it. The 1995 Wired magazine cover interview was headlined "Friend and Foe." At the time, Gingrich talked up the transformative power of the Internet and a world where schools and hospitals would be wired.
Media in his home state dubbed him "Newt Skywalker."
As House speaker, Gingrich marshaled forces on issues such as data scrambling technologies, freedom of speech on the Internet and securities litigation reform. He helped launch Thomas, the Library of Congress website that provides information about bills. He started the High Technology Working Group, now the Technology Working Group, composed of Republican leaders involved in a wide swath of tech issues.
Gingrich is "sensitive to innovation, to job creation, to startups and not having the government doing — but getting out of the away," said McNealy, who is now chairman of social media startup Wayin. Gingrich "is a spectacular idea guy."
Some of the early, libertarian-leaning views that won him fans in Silicon Valley were potential time bombs with the GOP faithful, but he stood his ground. In 1996, Gingrich — then the speaker of the House — resisted an attempt to fight porn on the Internet.
When the Senate began to push for the Communications Decency Act of 1996, Gingrich put up a road block that helped to undermine the act, which was later struck down by the Supreme Court. The act, introduced by then-Sen. Jim Exon (D-Neb.), would have made indecent materials on the Internet illegal and made intermediaries — such as Internet service providers — responsible for policing content on the Web. . . .

Today was the end of the case competition for my production operations management class. My group presented our report on how a school could improve the operations performance of their football program. It involved things like deciding whether or not to expand the existing stadium, how to improve customer satisfaction, and improving the concession stand performance. As a second round to the competition, we were asked to add anything to "make our case". Our group decided to create a website that described our consulting firm. I hope it went well!
The spring semester strategic management case competition is also under way. Today is the day that the cases were handed out, and the presentations will be on April 27. Good luck to everyone!
Another fun event was the Minnesota Twins bus trip last Saturday. The student activities group sponsors as bus trip each semester, and this semester it was the game against the Rangers. I didn't have the chance to go, but I heard it was a lot of fun from my friends.
