I got hit for using Tapmagic to tap some holes out. I walked out to the parking lot and walked back in and ended up getting patted down.
Another time I got hit for using Layout dye and had some on my hands. It noticed it. I got patted down again.

The Reading Skills unit has passages followed by questions. Read the passage below, then choose the best answer to each questions.
Sample Question:
The turkey's sharp eyesight and keen sense of hearing make it a very elusive quarry. Many hunters consider the wild turkey more difficult to take than big game animals like deer. In parts of the Southeast which lack the deer that are plentiful elsewhere, the wild turkey has come to be regarded as the big game animal.
A wild turkey is virtually impossible to sneak up on, but, because it gobbles to claim a mate or establish its territory, hunters can use turkey calls to attract the bird. Though learning the technique isn't all that simple, in some areas one's manhood is in question if he can't properly use a turkey call.
Not long ago while I was in the vast swamps near Tallahassee, Florida, researching wild turkeys, I noticed that most male residents carried odd-looking objects--even in the diners while having morning coffee. I was puzzled until two men pushed their toast aside and talked to each other in the language of the small, boxlike contraptions that they played like violins. No one could mistake the sounds that emanated, bouncing around that roadside diner like wild things suddenly uncaged, the clear persistent heoh, heoh, heoh, of the wild turkeys.
Turkeys respond to expert calling for a variety of reasons. They are itching for a fight in the mating season, calling repeatedly for a mate just before dawn. They are curious about who else is doing the talking, and sometimes, just plain lonely.

Taxonomy and description
The nature of light rail
The growth of light rail
The cost of light rail
Light rail as an instrument of policy
rail is a modern form of public transport that runs on rails. It shares
many characteristics with heavy rail system such as metros and suburban
rail, but has lower capacity. Its main advantage over these other systems
is that it is cheaper and more flexible since it can be operated on the
road in mixed traffic. Generally this is not advisable since it will suffer
from the effects of congestion, but it can also be run at the margin or
along the median of highways. Usually it has a much simpler signalling
than heavier rail systems, often relying on the driver's judgement in
a similar manner to the driver of a bus, particularly in mixed traffic
conditions. When it is running along a highway it can be given priority
at signalised junctions. Light rail can also be elevated or built in tunnel.
Often a combination of these is used to match local circumstances, for
example by using disused railway embankments to provide a fast interurban
route with street running in town centres.
Light rail has grown in popularity in recent years. Since 1970, 61 metros and 78 light rail systems have opened as Babalik (2000) has shown, using data from Taplin (1997, 2000). Given the complexity of definition it is difficult to be clear which was the first modern light rail system. Rogers (1975) recognises the system in Edmonton in Canada which opened in 1976 as the first, regarding all previous examples as extensions to, or rehabilitation of, existing tram systems. Number of light rail systems and metros opened since 1970 shows the distribution of new light rail systems around the World. It also shows the number of new metros for comparison.
Source: Babalik (2000) based on Taplin (1997, 2000).
It can be seen that in the 1970s (and in the preceding decades) the number of metros built outnumbered the number of light rail systems. Since then the picture has reversed completely, with 69 new light rail systems opened since 1980 compared with 38 new metros. North America led this trend in the 1980s, but since then most activity has been elsewhere. Now there are more light rail systems than metros in Western Europe and North America (Babalik, 2000).
Light rail is not cheap. Babalik (2000) has collected data on a number
of systems around the World. The cost of light rail systems (and metros)
shows data for 23 light rail systems, plus four metros for comparison.
Source: Babalik (2000)
Source: Babalik (2000).
Note: N/A indicates that data were not available.
The variation in capital costs arises because of the different types
of structure required: tunnel, elevated or at grade, the existing infrastructure
(often disused railway trackbeds can be reused) and the quantity of utilities
(gas, electricity, water and telecommunications) that have to be moved
(rail-based transport systems cannot run over utilities because if a utility
pipe or cable has to be repaired, the transport system cannot function,
unlike a bus which can be diverted to another route). A major expense,
typically about one quarter of the total cost of systems built recently
in Britain, is the movement of utilities from under the road. Another
element of the cost is land acquisition. If land has to be acquired, this
may be very expensive, particularly if it is currently occupied by housing
or economic activity. Nevertheless, it can be seen that, in general, light
rail systems are, despite being expensive, much cheaper to construct than
metros, which partly explains their increasing popularity as was shown
by number of light rail systems and metros opened since 1970. Putting
it another way, the lower cost per km of light rail means that it may
be regarded as feasible to develop a system in a city which is too small
to support a metro. Additionally, because the capacity of light rail vehicles
is high, it is possible to have low operating costs per member of staff,
possibly lower than on buses. Operating costs can be high, but it does
not necessarily matter if the revenue is also high. The relationship between
these two figures is expressed as the farebox recovery ratio, which is
the percentage of operating costs covered by fare revenue. It can be seen
that only Manchester Metrolink covers its operating costs. It is run privately
under a franchise agreement, and there is no subsidy to the operator.
The private sector operator is only interested in operating the system
if a profit can be made. The next nearest to making a profit is Tyne and
Wear Metro in Britain in which 77% of the costs are covered. This is an
older system which is still publicly owned. After that comes the San Diego
Trolley, which covers 68% of its costs. The San Diego Trolley is interesting
because it was initially built with no funding from the Federal Government,
with funding coming from state petrol tax. This meant that construction
could start sooner and that various regulations, for example, prohibiting
the purchase of vehicles from overseas, regulations, such as prohibition
of importing vehicles, could be avoided (Wolinsky, 1994). Sheffield Supertram
was privatised in December 1997 and now receives no operating subsidy.
Light rail as an instrument of policy
Before considering the impact of light rail as a policy instrument it
is very important to consider why such systems are developed. It is not
reasonable to criticise systems for not achieving certain objectives if
such objectives were not amongst the objectives the systems were designed
to meet.

By this time, you should know the drill. But if you're new here, our Ask Wess post got the ball rolling, and it's left the following in its wake:
- What advice would you give to a young director of a small starting ministry? (Gabe)
Make sure the cause of the ministry that you are leading is your absolute passion. Ask yourself deep in your soul
Is this really what I'm all about? Is this absolutely my passion?
The test that I put myself through every few days — and I would tell you to do the same — is this:
When you think about this ministry that you're launching, test whether or not it can move you to tears in 30 seconds — either tears of great sorrow at the need that you are trying to fill or tears of great joy at the impact and the joy of making a difference in your world? If it cannot move you to tears in 30 second, my advice is … don't do it.
Don't start a ministry without huge passion. It's got to come from deep inside you.
- What is the best thing that people going on a short term missions trip can do to make a lasting impact with the people that they serve? (Sara Benson)
First of all I would say, "Good for you!" for going on a mission trip. I think in this day and age, as small as the world has gotten and how easily we can travel to any corner of the world, anyone who can financially do it ought to get out there and see it. But my caution to you, Sara, is that you're in for a surprise. Because you are going to be the one who's impacted.
I know that it takes a wonderful heart to go out there — a heart to bless people and to make a lasting impact on them. But you are the one who's really going to be changed.
What you should plan to do is to go to love, to serve and to learn, and you should go fully expecting to be blessed. God gave us two ears and one mouth, and I advise you to use them in that proportion. I know that's especially true when you go overseas into a setting that you are not familiar with. You should do twice as much listening as talking.
Go with a heart to bless, but my experience has been — and I believe your reality will be — that you will come back with a heart far better blessed than you could ever imagine. Your biggest challenge isn't what you do over there. Your biggest challenge will be determining afterward what you are going to do over here with what you now know and what you now feel. Scripture says "To whom much is given, much is required." And that isn't about money … that's about experience and heart and insight. So I wouldn't go over there without a realization that when I come back, I'm going to have to do something with what was done to my heart.
And one last thing I have to say is read Hope Lives – Amber Van Schooneveld's book. I don't know of a five-week personal journey that better prepares someone for a mission trip than that book.

Marinated Ribeyes RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 6 15
We have these tempting steaks weekly. Whenever I suggest a change in the recipe, my husband reminds me, "Don't fix it if it's not broken." If neighbors happen to drop by when I'm preparing steaks, I cut the meat into cubes and grill it on skewers with onions and mushrooms as appetizers. -Rosalie Usry, Flaxton, North Dakota
- 2 beef ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick and 12 ounces each)
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- Pierce both sides of steaks several times with a fork. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Remove 1/2 cup marinade to another bowl; cover and refrigerate until serving. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the steaks. Seal bag and turn to coat; cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Drain and discard marinade. Grill steaks, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Warm reserved marinade; serve with steaks. Yield: 2 servings.

THEATRE REVIEW: The Wonderbus - Wycombe Swan
There was a bus-load of laughs as 'The Wonderbus' tour terminated at the Wycombe Swan, dropping off a trio of top British funny men. (Typical, you wait for one comedian to come along and you get three at once!)
Performing to raise awareness for a scheme to provide transport to take the elderly in homes and sheltered housing to see live entertainment, comedy conjurer Paul Zenon, silly and surreal Harry Hill and the outrageous Lee Mack alighted and delighted the audience with some well-travelled comedy.
The schemes' initiator, Paul Zenon offered mirth and magic. Harry Hill entertained with an act that went off in as many weird directions as a faulty Sat-Nav and Lee Mack stole the show with his no holds barred hysterically naughty set.
It's not often you get so much top deck comedy on one bill and I for one was glad I didn't miss this bus.

Keeping the Workplace Fresh: How to Reduce Turn-over in Young EmployeesSeptember 29th, 2011
Is your company noticing a higher than average rate of young employees leaving for other opportunities? The newest generation of workers, known as the "Millennials" is a challenging group of workers who have an entirely different set of work interests and abilities. It is true that this younger group of employees does require a different way of HR management, in order to reduce turnover and tap into the unique abilities they bring to the table.
Read on to learn more about keeping youthful employees happy and productive on the job.
Maintain a fun work environment. All employees love to combine fun with work, especially youthful employees. In order to appeal to the interests of today's younger workers, provide a casual work environment that includes a multitude of fun activities. Focus on team activities that put young workers in touch with more seasoned employees to inspire them to succeed. Develop friendly competitions to get younger employees excited about the work they so and to give them opportunities to shine.
Use attractive incentives. Employee incentives for younger workers need to be geared towards their unique needs. Many well-meaning incentive plans do not address single people in entry level and short-term assignments, but rather on more established employees. Be sure to give young employees a reason to feel motivated with employee incentives like gift cards, paid days off, volunteer rewards, and free meals.
Provide frequent feedback. Younger employees often seek out positive reinforcement from immediate supervisors and other more seasoned workers. Encourage workers to form casual mentoring relationships that include plenty of positive feedback on a regular basis. Additionally, give younger employees opportunities to earn certificates of achievement to show off their new skills.
Create healthy stimuli. Today's generation of young workers demand work environments that include healthy activities on and off the job. Think about adding a fitness center, an entertainment room, or a wellness area where employees can gain access to healthy meals and beverages anytime. Younger workers will hang out more often and become engaged in the work environment when offered these fringe benefits.

regarding Tennent's "Language Design based on Semantic Principles"
Claus Reinke <claus.reinke@...>
[since I was lucky enough to be near a good university library some 15 years ago, and have a long-standing interest in language design, I'll try to respond to questions from the other thread here; the hope is to turn those principles from an obstacle to a tool in Ecmascript design] As a long-time fan of semantic principles for language design, I've been reading the very odd references to Tennent's design principles in discussions here with some discomfort. In the list archives, 'TCP' sometimes sounds like almost as big a source of problems as 'ASI'. Also, some of the references bear little or no resemblance to the principles I read about! The principles are open to interpretation, and we all have our own misconceptions about them, especially when they seem to support what we wanted to do anyway(*). But they were not taken out of thin air, either: they were collected from early work on language design and language semantics. I've always found them to lead to simpler, more consistent language designs - they point out problems, and show how to remove problems, but they do not make problems. My knowledge of Tennent's principles comes from his paper [1], not from his book, but I doubt that the difference are that great. If you have a university library nearby, the paper and its references are well worth reading for anyone involved in language design - they don't have all the answers, but many of todays problems were already under discussion back then (you'd be surprised at the similarities. Let me try to state the two principles from that paper first (try, because I have to collect and paraphrase from the text), followed by interpretations that I've found useful. // principle of abstraction Abstraction facilities may be provided for any semantically meaningful category of syntactic constructs Tennent refers to 'abstraction' in a technical sense, citing motivating examples from set theory, relations and functions, that is from mathematics and theory of computation. Concrete examples from programming languages include abstraction over statements (procedures) and over expressions (functions). Interpretation Note the "semantically meaningful" - Tennent is talking about semantic abstractions, represented in syntax, not about merely syntactic abstractions! I've found that to be the single most important issue when using this principle: what are the semantic objects we need to talk about, and how are they represented in our syntax? We could, of course, decide that our language should also serve as its own meta-language, then syntax phrases would be semantically meaningful, and we would want to support syntactic abstractions/macros (syntax-level functions). But without such a decision, we should not try to apply the principle of abstraction to arbitrary pieces of syntax. The second most interesting issue is that our ideas about which parts of our language are semantically meaningful may evolve - modules are a prime example here: at first, we just have abstractions of statements and expressions, and declarations happen to be a syntactic consequence of that. But as our programs grow larger, we notice that we want to talk about groups of declarations as semantic objects, so now the principle of abstraction applies, and we end up with some form of modules. Something similar applies to break and labels: in current Javascript, neither 'break label' nor 'label' on its own has any meaning, they are part of loops or switch statements. So it simply makes no sense to abstract over break statements independent of their loop/switch - the principle does not apply! We might, however, decide to work out semantics for 'break label' or for 'label' on its own, and then the principle of abstraction would ask us to think about abstractions over these (Tennent discusses sequels as abstractions over the 'break label' form, and mentions label parameters as well). The former very quickly leads towards call/cc, the latter might be easier to implement, but also encourages more complicated uses of labels. Either variant needs semantics before talking about their interactions with lambdas and the like. Similarly for 'this' and 'return'. // principle of correspondence (paraphrasing): The rules governing names in a language should be designed together in order to avoid irregularities in the manner in which the names may be used. In particular, there should be a one-to-one correspondence between declarative and parametric forms of introducing names. This goes back directly to Landin [2], and comes with an example, comparing variable declaration for 'x' with formal function parameter 'x': x*(x+a) where x= b+2*c f(b+2*c) where f(x)= x*(x+a) Interpretation The principle of correspondence interacts with the principle of abstraction: our two most common ways of introducing abstractions in programming languages involve names, names for things we already know (variable declarations, function declarations, constant declarations, ..) and names for things we do not know yet (function parameters). Abstraction tells us when to introduce naming schemes, correspondence tells us to keep these two common forms of naming in sync. It should not matter whether a name comes from a declaration or formal parameter list - any such differences needlessly complicate the language. Correspondence is the principle that lets us say that let(this=obj, x=5) { .. } and ((function(x) { .. }).call(obj,5)) should be equivalent, and that anything we can do in formal parameter lists, we should also be able to do in declarations, and vice versa. Generally, Tennent's paper is heavily influenced by lambda calculus, both as a programming language (among other work, Landin gave translations of Algol 60 into Church's lambda calculus) and as a representation of mathematical functions (early work on denotational semantics of programming languages, by Strachey and others). In particular, Landin's influence [2] is strong: Landin was perhaps the first to separate languages into sets of problem- oriented primitives (domain-specific, in todays terminology) and general language framework, and he was concerned with removing idiosyncracies from the general framework. So my favourite way of reading Tennent's principles is as rules for completing a language design: - first, we choose what we want to talk about, and how to represent it (strings, numbers, arrays, regexps, expressions, statements, ..) - then, we apply the principles to build up a consistent general framework around our chosen primitives (functions, procedures, modules, ..) But we can also use the principles to spot gaps and inconsistencies in existing language designs, again focusing on the domain-independent parts of the language. It is of interest that Tennent's paper includes an analysis of Pascal wrt the principles, followed by a synthesis section: suggestions for completing Pascal to avoid the problems discussed in the analysis section. Hope this helps, Claus [1] R.D.Tennent, "Language Design Methods Based on Semantic Principles", Acta Informatica 8, 97-112, 1977 (if you or your library have a springerlink subscription: http://www.springerlink.com/content/n43h438l03811671/ ) [2] P.J.Landin, "The next 700 programming languages", Communications of the ACM 9, 157-164, 1966 http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&cluster=2856797924573721037&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=science_links&resnum=1&ct=sl-allversions (*) My own excursion in this area happened when I had just about finished with a couple of design problems, and was doing background research for the write-up. After I encountered Tennent's way of looking at papers I already admired, it became clear that his principles were the simplest way to summarize the design decisions I had made. After I finished that dissertation, I tried to write up this view - unlike the papers above, this isn't a must-read: you'll probably want to skip the introduction, and possibly section 2 as well, but the report goes into a third principle that I found very useful, and the application of the principles to modules might sound familiar to Ecmascript modules authors.

Okkaka, 1 Definition(s)
1 Definition(s) from various sources:
1. Okkaka - A king, ancestor of the Sakyas and the Kolians.
In the Ambattha Sutta (D.i.92) it is stated that Okkaka, being fond of his queen and wishing to transfer the kingdom to her son, banished from the kingdom the elder princes by another wife. These princes were named Okkamukha, Karakanda, Hatthinika, and Sinipura.
The Mahavastu (which confuses Iksvaku with his ancestor Sujata) mentions five sons of Iksvaku: Opura, Ulkamukha, Karandaka, Hastikasirsa and Nipura (i.348). See also Rockhill, p.9ff.
They lived on the slopes of the Himalaya and, consorting with their sisters and their descendants, formed the Sakyan race. The legend, thus briefly given, is enlarged on with great detail in the Commentaries. According to Buddhaghosa, there are three dynasties with a king named Okkaka at the head of each, all of them lineal descendants of the primeval king, Mahasammata, and in the line of succession of Makadeva.
The Okkaka of the third dynasty bad five queens - Bhatta, Citta, Jantu, Jalini and Visakha - each with five hundred female attendants. The eldest queen had four sons - mentioned above - and five daughters - Piya, Suppiya, Ananda, Vijita and Vijitasena. (The Mtu. calls them Suddha, Vimala Vijita, Jala and Jali).
When Bhatta died, after the birth of these nine children, the king married another young and beautiful princess and made her the chief queen. Her son was Jantu, and being pleased with him, the king promised her a boon. She claimed the kingdom for her son, and this was the reason for the exile of the elder children (DA.i.258f; SnA.i.352f).
The Mahavamsa (Mhv.ii.12-16) mentions among Okkakas descendants, Nipuna, Candima, Candamukha, Sivisanjaya, Vessantara, Jali, Sihavahana and Sihassara. The last named had eighty four thousand descendants, the last of whom was Jayasena. His son Sihahanu was the grandfather of the Buddha. The Dipavamsa (iii.41-5) list resembles this very closely.
Okkaka had a slave girl called Disa, who gave birth to a black baby named, accordingly, Kanha. He was the ancestor of the Kanhayanas, of which race the Ambattha clan was an offshoot. Later, Kanha became a mighty sage and, by his magic power, won in marriage Maddarupi, another daughter of Okkaka (D.i.93, 96).
According to the Brahmana Dhammika Sutta (Sn.p.52ff; AA.ii.737), it was during the time of Okkaka that the brahmins started their practice of slaughtering animals for sacrifice. Till then there had been only three diseases in the world - desire, hunger and old age; but from this time onwards the enraged devas afflicted humans with various kinds of suffering.
It is said (DA.i.258) that the name Okkaka was given to the king because when he spoke light issued from his mouth like a torch (kathanakale ukka viya mukhato pabha niccharati).

The Dokker supports graphics cards up to 32cm (~12.6in) long, which is enough clearance for the beastly Radeon HD 5970 (30.9cm), so mainstream cards should fit comfortably. It ships with one 120mm rear exhaust fan and a few dust filters, but you can install up to six more fans and there's support for liquid cooling setups if that's what you're into.
Speaking of cooling, Thermaltake made sure to note that the front panel has a mesh design and the expansion slots have vents to promote better airflow. As is becoming standard among chassis, the Dokker's motherboard tray has a large hole so it's easier to access the backside of your CPU. There's also a hole in the tray for cable management.
Other features include a keyboard and mouse security lock, anti-vibration HDD mounts, three 5.25-inch and one 3.5-inch external bays, five 3.5-inch internal bays, seven expansion slots, and two USB 2.0 ports along with an audio jack (no USB 3.0). The Dokker seems to be available immediately but is currently listed as out of stock via Thermaltake.

NUHS has a strong culture of supporting research by its faculty,
graduate students, and students in its massage therapy program. The
field of massage welcomes new research and case studies that track
the benefits and applications of massage for various health
One massage student, Lauren Camer, did research at NUHS that
culminated in a poster that she presented at a national conference
after she graduated. She presented her poster at the 2013 American
Massage Therapy Association National Convention in Fort Worth,
Texas in September. Her topic was "Massage Therapy for Balance and
Proprioceptive Deficits in a Juvenile: A Case Report."
Lauren Cramer presents her research at the AMTA National
The poster was based on the case of a boy with balance problems
who received ten 30-minute manual massage therapy treatments over
the course of five weeks. The therapist performed balance
assessments on the boy before, during and after the massage therapy
sessions. Lauren's case study on the boy showed that massage
provided a positive and lasting impact.
While working on her research project, Lauren appreciated
mentorship from her clinical supervisor, Dr. Patricia Coe,
as well as her co-author, NUHS clinical research coordinator, Jen
"They were always available to answer questions, and helped me
with the preliminary work I needed to do to get my research
proposal approved by the university," says Lauren.
Now that she has graduated from NUHS, Lauren Camer is currently
a licensed massage therapist in Illinois. She has a mobile massage
service in addition to providing corporate chair massages and
working in a chiropractic physician's office part-time.
Recent findings from the Touch Research Institutes of the
University of Miami School of Medicine show marked improvement in
those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis after massage
Specifically, after moderate pressure massage therapy, those
with rheumatoid arthritis had less pain, greater grip strength and
improved range of motion in their upper limbs. (Read a summary of this latest research.)
In fact, the Arthritis Foundation has great things to say about
massage therapy as a pain relief option for those living with
arthritis. Research has shown that massage can lower the body's
production of the stress hormone cortisol, and boost production of
serotonin, which, in turn, can improve mood. Additionally, massage
can lower production of the neurotransmitter substance P, often
linked to pain, improving sleep as a result. (Read the three-page report on massage therapy and
When you train as a massage therapist in a clinical environment,
you'll have more exposure to clients seeking massage for medical
conditions, such as arthritis. A key advantage in earning your massage therapy
certification at National University of Health Sciences is its
internship in the on-campus integrative medical clinic. Here, you
will not only practice massage geared toward relaxation and
wellness, but also have the chance to work with clients referred by
physicians from a variety of medical specialties. Your massage will
be part of an over all treatment plan managed by the client's
Dr. Jerrilyn Cambron, professor at
National University, has been elected "president elect" for
the Massage Therapy Foundation. Her position
will begin in March of 2013, and she will serve her two-year term
as president from 2014 - 2016.
Dr. Cambron was previously elected to the Foundation's board of
trustees in 2010, and became a vice president of the organization
in 2012.
The focus of the Foundation is to "advance the knowledge and
practice of massage therapy by supporting scientific research,
education, and community service."
Dr. Cambron says, "These three tenets of research, education,
and community service are exactly what I stand for as well, so
as a massage therapist, the Foundation was a natural match for
me. "
"The Massage Therapy Foundation's work is very exciting," says
Dr. Cambron. "We have an international massage therapy research
conference coming up, and also an online open-source journal that is indexed in
PubMed. The Foundation gives out funding for research and community
service projects, and is starting a webinar series on how to write
case reports. In fact, we have a case-report contest for both
students and practitioners." says Dr. Cambron.
Dr. Cambron serves on the faculty of National University's
Research Department and in addition to her doctor of chiropractic
degree, holds both a master's degree in public health and PhD from
the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois-Chicago.
She is also a licensed massage therapist and founder of MassageNet, a
practice-based research network for massage therapists.
Most athletes can testify to the pain-relieving,
recovery-promoting effects of massage. Now there's a scientific
basis that supports booking a session with a massage therapist: On
the cellular level massage reduces inflammation and promotes the
growth of new mitochondria in skeletal muscle. So says new research
from the Buck Institute on Aging and McMaster University in
Hamilton, Ontario. You can read more about this study and watch a video
from one of the researchers explaining how they made the
The study involved the genetic analysis of muscle biopsies taken
from the quadriceps of eleven young males after they had exercised
to exhaustion on a stationary bicycle. One of their legs was
randomly chosen to be massaged. Biopsies were taken from both legs
prior to the exercise, immediately after 10 minutes of massage
treatment and after a 2.5 hour period of recovery.
Buck Institute faculty Simon Melov, PhD, was responsible for the
genetic analysis of the tissue samples. "Our research showed that
massage dampened the expression of inflammatory cytokines in the
muscle cells and promoted biogenesis of mitochondria, which are the
energy-producing units in the cells," said Melov. He added that the
pain reduction associated with massage may involve the same
mechanism as those targeted by conventional anti-inflammatory
drugs. "There's general agreement that massage feels good, now we
have a scientific basis for the experience," said Melov.
A recent
study proving that massage therapy is effective for lower back
pain, was featured on NPRs "All Things Considered."
Low back pain is very common. It often goes away after several
days or weeks, but it may last for months or years or periodically
recur. The usual treatments for low back pain include drugs
(painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants),
physical therapy, back exercises, and education about ways to
prevent back injury and deal with back pain. Some people use
alternative treatments for low back pain, such as chiropractic or
massage therapy.
This study compared the short-term and long-term effects of
relaxation massage, structural massage, and usual care for people
with persisting low back pain.
The researchers first gathered information about the participants'
symptoms and how much those symptoms limited their daily
activities. They then randomly assigned each participant to receive
relaxation massage, structural massage, or usual medical care
without massage. Participants assigned to the massage groups got
about 1 hour of massage once a week for 10 weeks. The researchers
remeasured participants' symptoms and ability to perform daily
activities after completing the 10 massage treatments, and then at
6 months and 1 year after starting massage therapy.
Participants who received massage had less pain and were better
able to perform daily activities after 10 weeks than those who
received usual care. The benefits of massage lasted for 6 months
but were less clear at 1 year, when pain and function had improved
about equally in all 3 groups. The type of massage did not seem to
make a difference. Symptoms and ability to perform activities
improved about the same in the 2 massage groups.
(The full report is titled "A Comparison of the Effects of 2 Types
of Massage and Usual Care on Chronic Low Back Pain. A Randomized,
Controlled Trial." It is in the 5 July 2011 issue of Annals of
Internal Medicine (volume 155, pages 1-9). The authors are D.C.

Five Dishes We Love
Jason Kessler | Photo: Andrea Bricco | July 18, 2013
A roundup of summer's most flavor-packed fare, sure to hit the spot.
1. Veal Filet Mignon Tartare at Spago
Reinvention is no easy task, but Wolfgang Puck's newest culinary chapter has cooked up another instant classic. Buried inside two chunky marrow bones standing at attention is perfectly rich veal simply seasoned and topped with a cap of smoked mascarpone cheese. Spread it on a slice of grilled baguette with a dab of caper-rich mustard sauce and smile. 176 N. Cañon Drive, Beverly Hills, 310.385.0880, wolfgangpuck.com
2. Clams Casino at LittleFork
Hollywood is almost as far away from Rhode Island as you can get, but the clams casino at Littlefork fit in like an East Coast transplant determined to make it in this town. Served six to an order in an ebelskiver pan, these bite-sized littleneck beauties are topped with cracker stuffing and bacon, then broiled to a golden brown. 1600 Wilcox Ave., L.A., 323.465.3675, littleforkla.com
3. Sashimi-Style Ceviche From Paiche
Pick your favorite fish from an ocean of options and find out what "sashimi-style" ceviche looks like—in this case, a lot like sashimi sitting in a delectable puddle of leche de tigre, an acidic Peruvian sauce serving as a counterpoint to the luscious, ultrafresh slices of seafood that chef Ricardo Zarate garnishes with a Japanese shiso leaf. It's Peru by way of Japan and distinctly Angeleno, all at the same time. 13488 Maxella Ave., Marina del Rey, 310.893.6100, paichela.com
4. The Tray From Bludso's Bar-&-Que
Calling "The Tray" a dish is like calling the Queen Mary a boat—you get all 13 menu items (sans dessert). It's a meat lover's fantasy with various forms of beef, chicken and pork all fighting for barbecue supremacy, and a crowd of mac and cheese, potato salad and baked beans cheering from the sidelines. 609 N. La Brea Blvd., L.A., 323.931.2583, barandque.com
5. Artichoke "Oysters" at Crossroads
Though actually cornmeal-crusted oyster mushrooms, this vegan doppelgänger is just as good as the real thing. Sure, there's an artichoke petal instead of a shell, but the experience is the same—just grab your "oyster," which sits atop a dollop of artichoke puree and briny kelp caviar. Toss it into your mouth for a full-flavored bite with muscle. 8284 Melrose Ave., L.A., 323.782.9245, crossroadskitchen.com

Stephanie Kalu
Aug. 7, 2013
Kalu a junior, finished 22nd in the 100-meter dash at the NCAA Finals after being seeded 23rd, improving her time from the NCAA Prelims by .13 seconds, crossing the finish line in a time of 11.62.
This past spring, Kalu was a part of a 4x100 relay team that won two events: TCU Invitational and the Bobcat Invitational. The team consisted of senior Isis Wilson, junior Craishia Washington, sophomore Rachel Scruggs and Kalu. They set an SMU 4x100 meter relay record at the TCU Invitational when they finished in a time of 44.96. At the same event, Kalu set the SMU program record in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.38, which was good for third.
Kalu has played a vital role in the overall improvement of the entire sprint program, which has been led by former 15-time All-America coach Tony Miller. When asked about Kalu's success and what this means for the SMU track & field program Coach Miller said:
Stephanie Kalu's success is no surprise--her high standard of excellence and unparalleled work ethic have always elevated her above her competition. Her accomplishments are indicative of SMU's athletic program. This August's events in Moscow could prove to be definitive races that jump start her career, and we look forward to seeing her compete in the 100m and 4x100m relays."

Largest Professional Santa Gathering and Major Motion Picture Join Forces
The Celebrate Santa Festival to be held March 13 – 17th, 2010 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee will feature over six hundred professional Santa and Mrs. Clauses celebrating the life and times of Santa Claus. And this year they are going back to their "roots". The event is closely tied with the upcoming epic motion picture, Nicholas of Myra, the story on the life and times of St. Nicholas, their descendant and the original Santa Claus. The movie's writer/director, Gerald Hartke and the lead actor, Matthew Mesler are the Grand Marshals of the Holly & Shamrock Parade on March 13th. They also will be the guests of honor at a premiere party Sunday night the 14th called "An Evening with St. Nicholas" honoring the movie and what it means to the overall Santa community.
"This movie will have a tremendous impact on how the public views today's Santa Claus," states Santa Joe Moore, the event's Co-coordinator and nine year Santa Claus, "People will come away with a better understanding of who Santa really is and that there is much more to us then taking toy lists." Moore says he is honored to join forces with Nicholas of Myra and help spread the word on this movie.
Hartke is also excited at the prospect of being with hundreds of Santas. "We were a little unsure of how the Santas would react to the movie and the history behind the character," said Hartke, "Celebrate Santa is a tremendous affirmation for us that we are on the right track, and that it was long past time to tell this wonderful story."
The two events will be promoting each other in order to gain as much exposure as possible prior to Celebrate Santa and afterwards. "Since the Celebrate Santa Festival is an annual event in Mid-March, we see an ongoing promotional opportunity for both entities," claims Moore. "There will be a great many opportunities to talk about both events as they dovetail each other so well," echoes Hartke.
According to the Moore, Santas will be coming from more than 30 states, Canada and Australia. He commented, "We have also been in touch with Santas from Costa Rica, Italy, Sweden and other countries about attending."

The fund is established for the purpose of stimulating and advancing an atmosphere of inquiry at Heidelberg University. The Fund is intended to provide Heidelberg students with seed money grants to conduct research in sciences and the arts and to contribute to the advancement of knowledge. In designing, conducting, and presenting these studies the students are expected to learn and apply the methods of systematic inquiry and to use this knowledge and experience to enhance future endeavors.
Eligible Students
Enrolled undergraduate and graduate students in good academic standing may apply for the awards.
Application Process
- Eligible students may apply for funds to assist them in their research projects three times each year; October 1, February 1, and April 1. Students may apply for the award retrospectively. However, this does not guarantee or increase the chances that the student will receive the requested funds.
- The selection committee currently designed to award funds for what has been called the Pepsi Fund will also review applications for the Hammel Student Research Fund. The faculty members will represent the disciplines from which proposals have been submitted. Faculty sponsors of the research project will not be eligible to serve on the selection committee.
- Students will submit a Hammel Student Research Fund application and a letter of support from their faculty supervisor for the research project.
- Following the review of applications an award letter will be sent to each student. The letter will describe the reporting requirements necessary for receiving the funds.

While pursuing a doctorate in physics, Kaleb Michaud made a hairpin turn in his career path and chose instead to apply his expertise in statistics to rheumatic diseases. Michaud's decision, boosted with some funding from the Arthritis Foundation, is already making a difference in patients' lives, not only current patients but future patients as well.
Now an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska, Michaud received a New Investigator grant from the Arthritis Foundation in 2008 to study the impact of total joint replacement in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Even though one out of four people with RA will likely have total joint replacement (TJR), most research on the effects of TJR has been in osteoarthritis (OA) and not RA.
For starters, RA and OA are different diseases. People with RA face a higher risk of infection and cardiovascular problems, which are also two of the complications of TJR surgery. Doctors may worry that replacing damaged joints with their engineered counterparts in RA patients will cost more and worsen recovery.
Answers in Medical Databases
Studying joint replacement in people with RA will help patients understand how well the procedure works and what results patients can expect, such as how much swelling and pain will remain after surgery, how they'll feel and whether cardiovascular problems or risk of infection will complicate the surgery.
To answer such questions, Michaud and colleagues compared joint replacement in RA and OA in two databases. The National Data Bank for Rheumatic Diseases (NDB) helped the team compare whether people felt better or worse in terms of quality of life and pain. Because the NDB sends out questionnaires every six months to gauge the impact of rheumatic disease, the team could track the personal and financial burden of RA in thousands of patients.
Michaud also examined the electronic medical records of more than 40,000 TJR patients in a Veterans Administration database for outcome data at 30 days and one year. These records allowed him to compare any problems with the surgery between OA and RA, such as infection, mortality and cardiovascular issues.
Most physicians, he says, would expect those issues to be worse in people with RA. Instead, Michaud's team did not see a boost in risk for complications one month after surgery. At one year, RA patients showed an increase in mortality, but that was due to problems with the disease and not with joint replacement.
In people with OA, the improvement in pain relief proved more dramatic and lasted longer. For people with RA, joint replacement surgery turned back the clock on the replaced joint about three to five years, says Michaud.
Michaud did find an increase in return to the operating room for RA patients while they were in the hospital for joint replacement (4.5 percent for RA as compared to 3 percent for OA patients), although this was balanced by the finding that RA patients were less likely to return to the hospital in the two weeks after the surgery. Overall, he expected a much bigger difference between OA and RA patients.
"This was a welcome surprise," he says.

F. du Pont's premier collection of American decorative arts and elegant rooms accented with abundant flowers taken fresh from the Winterthur cutting garden and greenhouses. A new display on the Spring Tour this year will address the perennial question, "Where are the bathrooms?" When Winterthur opened as a museum, the bathrooms were removed to create more display areas, but when it was a private house the du Pont's guests all enjoyed the luxury of private baths. Sleek and modern to conform to ideals of comfort and cleanliness in the 1930s; they were fully designed spaces with linens and accessories coordinated to the color scheme of adjacent bedrooms. With photographs, floorplans, linens, and objects from the Winterthur bathrooms, along with fully-stocked shelves of vintage toiletries and cleaning supplies from the du Pont's own inventories, visitors will get a sense of how the du Ponts provided for their guests' comfort.

Antiques & Architecture
H. F. du Pont called the fourth floor of his house the entrance floor when he and Ruth Wales du Pont lived here since this is where they welcomed their guests in rooms designed to create fabulous first impressions. Today visitors on this tour will see those reception rooms and surrounding spaces filled with outstanding collections of furniture and accessories dating primarily from the 18th century, with particular emphasis on high-style Queen Anne and Chippendale furniture from the mid-1700s. Contrasting with these elegant interiors are colorful Pennsylvania German fraktur and painted chests displayed against the architectural backdrop of a rustic 1750s stone farmhouse. Specialty collections include an array of mold-blown glass pocket flasks from the early 1800s, an expansive display of iron cooking implements, Philadelphia pewter from the mid-1700s, and cupboards full of diverse ceramics including colorful delftwares from England and the Netherlands, whimsical Pennsylvania German sgraffito, refined creamware by Wedgwood in a variety of patterns, and Chinese porcelains in the famille rose palette, which was H. F. du Pont's personal favorite.
American Interiors
When the du Ponts resided at Winterthur, their family bedrooms were located on the 7th floor, now included on the American Interiors Tour. Here you will visit Ruth du Pont's private retreat filled with her delicate Federal-style furnishings and H. F. du Pont's bedroom and office suite, the nerve center of the Winterthur estate, with the sturdy New England Queen Anne and Chippendale style furniture he favored. Featured collections include delightful miniature furnishings, children's tea sets, and sample pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries in the Miniature Stair Hall, while the Billiard Room displays the only known American billiard table made before 1825. Collections of needlework, silver, painted tin, drafting and surveying instruments, and jewelry are highlighted, along with magnificent mid 18th–century furniture crafted in Newport, Rhode Island and outstanding examples of painted furniture from Baltimore made in the early years of the new nation.
Winterthur Then & Now
This tour features the magnificent garden as well as several floors of the house. It focuses on the life of the du Pont family in the first half of the 20th century, the development of the collection of American decorative arts, and the evolution of a private estate into a public resource.

Everything you need to know about what Raf Simons has in store for Dior, you can tell from the shoes. They were a big element of Dior Spring 2013 for many reasons, and luckily the New Look and Ligne-A silhouettes left plenty of room to admire the shoes, whether it was a result of skinny, ankle-length tuxedo pants or short jacket-dresses. Accessories are often useful for distilling a brand's look down into a single piece, and for a debut like this, there's plenty to divine.
For fans of Simons, it was exactly the sort of retro-futuristic look that you'd expect (and hope for) from the Belgian minimalist. The shoes have the curves and angles that reference the New Look era, but the materials – holographic snakeskin, mirrored metal in gentle pastels – are anything but retro. The combination is a solid combination of where Dior's been and where it's going, which is the exact tone that Simons needed to strike for his first collection with the storied French house.

Anchor Intro: Ceremonies like weddings and funerals are often expensive affairs. But with funerals, most of the planning is done last-minute, and saving money is the last thing on anybody's mind. But there are solutions. Bankrate.com has some tips on planning for the inevitable.
Voice over 1: Nobody's prepared for the death of a loved one, even an experienced funeral director.
SOT: "My dad just died in October. I could not think, if I was not in the funeral industry, of going and visiting four funeral homes before I made a decision at that time. I had enough time handling it working in the business."
Voice over 2: And that's why it's tough to deal with the high cost of dying. The average cost of a funeral is now more than $6,500. But there are ways to save, if you plan ahead.
SOT: "The key is to treat purchasing funeral arrangements exactly the way you'd handle any other major purchase in your family."
Voice over 3: Bill's a volunteer with Funeral Consumers Alliance, a national nonprofit with local chapters that offer free unbiased advice.
Voice over 4: Some local chapters can hook you up with discounted services, one even operates their own funeral home. But any will steer you to the least expensive alternatives.
SOT: "If you're shopping carefully, you should be able to get what we call a direct cremation. You should be able to get that for well under a thousand dollars."
Voice over 5: Another example is caskets. You can buy one online, sometimes for less than half the retail price, then have it delivered the next day to a funeral home.
Standup: Bottom line? The way to save on this kind of an expense is plan ahead. Think about what you want and how much it's going to cost. It's not only going to save your family money, it's going to save them lots of stress too. For Bankrate.com, I'm Kristin Arnold.

Gothenburg, a Swedish city famous with its white nights, causes an emotional blast with its hidden surprises.
I first went to Gothenburg in July. Since it was the season for the white nights, the city's streets were abuzz with activity into the wee hours. The sun had set up its headquarters in the sky over Gothenburg and shone night and day, resting for just a few hours only to come out again shortly. I had expected Gothenburg to be an industrial city with a big harbor and lots of factories. I was therefore surprised to find a city adorned with canals and bridges where historic buildings stand harmoniously side by side with modern structures, a city covered in greenery where broad avenues open onto narrow streets lined with tiny shops, a city with a cultural life to vie with that of the capital Stockholm.
Gothenburg is Sweden's second largest city, noteworthy for its parks, museums, theaters and wide boulevards. Perhaps because it is overshadowed by Stockholm, it hosts only around three million tourists a year. The Vikings are known to have once lived in this region, but the development of Gothenburg occurred after King Gustav Adolf II founded a city here in 1621. The Dutch who were invited to the city also made a contribution by fitting it out attractively with canals like Amsterdam. Known as 'Little London', Gothenburg hosts a jazz festival in August. Don't miss it if you happen to be there.
Known for the manufacture of cars, cameras and ball bearings, Gothenburg is at the same time the telecommunications capital of Sweden. The city's harbor is Scandinavia's largest, and the area where ships dock is close to 20 kilometers long. Built primarily for commercial purposes, the harbor has a passenger terminal as well.
Gothenburg straddles the Göta River, which is also spanned by Sweden's longest suspension bridge, the Alvsborgsbron. There are two main squares in Gothenburg, which you can easily discover on foot: the Götaplatsen, the city's cultural center, and Gustav Adolfs Torg, which is surrounded by commercial and government buildings. The avenue that unites them is the Kungsportsavenyn, known for short as the Avenyn, or 'the Avenue'. The heartbeat of the city, the Avenyn is a fashionable, tree-lined thoroughfare with numerous cafes, restaurants, galleries and boutiques.
A creation of the famous sculptor Carl Milles, Poseidon Fountain graces the Götaplatsen, greeting visitors in all its splendor. Also on this square are the Concert Hall, home of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, and the Art Museum. Besides famous Swedish artists, this museum with its eye-dazzling sculptures also houses paintings by such great masters as Rembrandt, Renoir, Monet, Matisse, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Picasso.
The Municipal Theater and Library add further splendor to Götaplatsen. Liseber Lunapark, meanwhile, which is reminiscent of Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens, is one of Sweden's biggest tourist attractions. Vacationing families with children especially can enjoy many delightful hours at this funfair, the largest in Scandinavia. Offering a spectacular view from on high, the 83-meter-high tower known as the Spaceport will also please the adrenaline addicts. And not far from the Götaplatsen is a park chock full of restaurants, an ice skating rink and stylish wooden buildings.
The Palace of Justice, the Stock Market and municipal buildings are located on Gustav Adolfs Torg. Housing a total of thirteen historic vessels, the Gothenburg Maritime Museum claims to be the largest of its kind in the world. A submarine, the Nordkaparen, and a frigate make this floating museum, which is open every day of the week, even more fascinating. A counterpart to London's Crystal Palace, the cast iron and glass Palmhuset, or Palm House, built in 1878, is among the other important sights you will see in Gothenburg.
Although it looks quite ordinary from the outside, the cathedral known as the Domkyrkan, built in 1802, impresses visitors upon entering. Used as the City Museum today, the old East India Company building has the distinction of being Sweden's largest museum. You will learn the city's history at this museum, where Sweden's only Viking ship is on display. Feske Körkan meanwhile, although it means 'Fish Church', is actually a fish market. Resembling a church, this building is home to the fishermen who set out in the early morning hours to supply the city with fresh fish. Masthuggskyrkan, on the other hand, is a real church whose wooden ceiling resembles that of a Viking ship. If it's shopping that interests you, Nordstan opposite the train station is a virtual city in its own right, and Scandinavia's largest shopping center.
The 20th century buildings on the nearby Kronhusbodarna have been attractively restored and are used as boutiques and gift shops. Among the products you will find here are porcelain and glass wares as well as textiles.
You can also tour the art galleries and bookshops in the Haga Nygatan district, which is bursting with lovely examples of wood-frame architecture and stone masonry. And when you weary, you can spend some time at the cafes in the fashionable, restored buildings. Gothenburg in the past was one of the best preserved cities. To appreciate that, another alternative is to go up the Skansen Kronan and take in the beautiful view. This castle in the Haga district, which was built in 1697 to defend the city against the Danes in particular, also houses the military museum. A pleasant view of the city and harbor is available from its roof. Elfsborg Castle, another 17th century structure, which you can reach by tourboats leaving from the harbor in summer. The Vasa district meanwhile is brimming with cafes and small shops.
If you go to the botanical gardens, the 'lungs' of Gothenburg's, you will see 16,000 plant species brought here from all over the world. Acknowledged to be the largest of their kind in Europe, these gardens are spread over a 175-hectare-area. Their greenhouses boast upwards of 1,500 species of orchids. The gardens were chosen Sweden's most beautiful in 2003.
Gothenburg appeals to sports enthusiasts as well. One of its major stadiums, the Ullevi, is noteworthy for its extraordinary architecture. The top of the stadium is covered with 680 square meters of solar panels for generating electricity. And the 14,000-capacity-Scandinavium, one of Europe's largest sports arenas, was built to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the city's founding.
One of the most enjoyable ways to discover Gothenburg in summer is to tour the city on the open-top tram, or take a boat tour on the Göta River and the canals. When you venture outside this city, whose streets are swept by ocean breezes, wild nature will embrace you with peninsulas, azure lakes and verdant forests. If the beach is your priority, visit the islands known as Gothenburgs Skargard in Kattegat Bay.
Among them, Brannö, Styrsö and Vargö are the best. Varborg meanwhile is a resort town between Gothenburg and Helsingborg known for its castle. Dubbed the Swedish Riviera, the coastal strip between Malmö and Gothenburg has the country's best beaches. If your travels happen to take you there, Gothenburg is a city that will treat you well. So put this modest Scandinavian beauty on your list right now. You won't be sorry.

Torchwood creator, and former Doctor Who producer, Russell T. Davies has ruled out the possibility of the Doctor appearing in the spin-off.
Russell T. Davies dismissed the possibility of the Doctor appearing in an episode of Torchwood, the more adult spin-off from Doctor Who. Speaking at the UK launch for Torchwood: Miracle Day the creator of the spin-off revealed its more adult nature ruled out the Time Lord from crossing over and appearing in it.
"No, because actually the Doctor's never gone into Torchwood, it's always been the other way round, Torchwood's gone into Doctor Who, which I think is correct because there's a big child audience for Doctor Who and I think that would demand if we took the Doctor into Torchwood it would be a clash of styles." - Russell T. Davies
Davies has previously ruled out an appearance by the Doctor in the Torchwood spin-off from similar reasons. However, there have been crossovers with Doctor Who before; in the second series of Torchwood Law & Order: UK the character of Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) appeared in three episodes. The actress was due to appear in Torchwood: Children of Earth but this planned appearance never happened possibly because of her role in.
The season four finale of Doctor Who featured the Torchwood characters of Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) and Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd) alongside Captain Jack (John Barrowman). The finale also featured a crossover with fellow spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures which aired on the CBBC Channel and starred Elisabeth Sladen.
