Sesame Oil is a potent antioxidant and the very best natural conditioner for the skin. When you rub it on, it doesn't stop at the skin the way other oils and creams do. Sesame Oil penetrates to the very marrow of the bone. On the way, it gathers oil soluable toxins and wastes and takes them into the blood stream to be eliminated by the body as waste. It also neutralized oxygen radicals, which are thought to be one of the major causes of aging.
Environmental toxins cause the skin to look old, leathery, and tough. Sesame Oil molecules absorb quickly through the skin, into the tissue to stop inflammatory processes, making the skin look and feel youthful, soft, and resliient.
Sesame seed oil is also a natural sunscreen. If used full strength, it has an SPF 0f 4.
Sesame Seed Oil is cited in the book The Answer to Cancer Is Never Giving it a Chance to Start by Hari Sharma, M.D., et. al., as a cancer preventative.
Sesame oil has a number of health promoting- qualities. First of all, it soaks through the skin really well, so it can work inside the body an not just on the skin. Also, a study by Dr. Edwards Smith found that people who practice daily sesame oil massage have significantly less bacteria on their skin, which may seem like a modest start to preventing cancer. But it's a start. The bacteria killer in sesame oil is probably linoleic acid, which makes up 40 percent of the oil. Linoleic acid is also anti-inflammatory, which is good for keeping your joints working smoothly and helping avert arthritis. The oil as a whole is good for your joints. It lubricates them, which is something that joints really appreciate.
One study found that sesame oil actually has anti-cancer effects (particularly anti-skin cancer, which makes sense, and also anti-colon cancer effects. The second one doesn't make as much sense right off the bat, but the oil seeps in to reach beond the surface of the body.) Japanese researchers have found that sesame oil contains antioxidants, which, of course, are the front line warriors against cancer.
Sesame oil is also a wonderful ingredient to use as a base for homemade lotions and oils. It has a pleasant nutty aroma, mixes well with the other ingredients and the final product absorbs quickly so the skin is left soft, supple, and not feeling greasy.
- It is significantly more effective than salt in treating dry nasal membranes.
- It is effective in targeting bacteria causing gingivitis.
- It contains oleic acid, an effective reducer of serum cholesterol.
- Ayurveda physicians use it to cure sinusitis and other conditions as nose drops, sniffed back into the sinuses.
- It is used as an anti-bacterial throat gargle.
- It helps joints and flexibility. When using a massage oil, stroke the long limbs up and down and use circular motions over all joints to stimulate the natural energy of the joints. Sesame Oil is an excellent carrier oil when mixed with essential oils.
Abhyanga is a vital part of Ayurvedic daily care and a key Marharishi Ayurveda technique for supple, youthful skin and overall good health.
Instructions for Daily Oil Massage (Abhyanga):
- Heat about 1/4 cup of cured oil to just above body temperature.
- Start by placing a small amount of the warmed oil on the palms and fingertips and vigorously massage the scalp. Massage the face and outer part of th ears also if you wish, but be gentle.
- Massage both the front and back of the neck, and the upper part of the spine.
- Massage the arms next, using a long, back and forth motion over the long bones and a circular motion over the joints. Massage both arms thoroughly, including hands and fingers.
- Use a very gentle, circular motion to massage over the heart and a clockwise circular motion gently over the abdomen.
- Massage the back and spine next, being careful not to over stretch.
- Massage legs using the same long motion over the leg bones and circular motion over the joints, the same as the arms.
- Last, massage the feet. Use the open part of your hand to massage vigorously back and forth over the soles. Wait about 10-15 minutes, if time allows before showering or bathing.
Recipe for Sesame Oil Lotion
If you don't have the time to perform the massage daily, you can obtain great benefits from the use of Sesame Oil Lotion. This is very easy to make yourself. The recipe below is adapted from Rosemary Gladstar's recipe for Rosemary's Perfect Cream. The recipe is sized perfect for a Magic Bullet, but a blender can be used as well.
2/3 cup distilled water
1/2 cup aloe vera gel
essential oil of choice
3/4 cup sesame oil
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 oz beeswax
Place distilled water, aloe vera gel, and essential oil in Magic Bullet cup. Place sesame oil, coconut oil, and beeswax in pan over very low heat. Heat just long enough to melt. Pour oils into the Magic Bullet cup and blend until creamy. Pour into cream or lotion jars. Store in a cool location.
Why Organic? Commercial oils, grown by agribusiness, use all the agricultural poisions necessary to produce the largest crop. Thre are no molecules of those poisons in organic oil.
Why Cold Pressed? Commercial oils are extracted with strong petroleum based solvents and heat to 450 degrees F. Such heat changes the excellent monounsaturated (oleic acid) fats to trans fats which are poisonous to the body.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – The Mississippi State softball team has added three players to its 2014 fall roster with Demi Blaker, Carmen Carter and Cassady Knudsen joining the program. Blaker (Bay St. Louis, Miss./Our Lady Academy), Carter (Madison, Miss./Madison Ridgeland Academy) and Knudsen (Pleasant Hill, Iowa/Southeast Polk) will begin attending Mississippi State as freshmen in August.
Blaker is a six-year letterwinner at Our Lady Academy and has claimed six all-district honors. The varsity team's five-time most valuable player, Blaker has received five Sun Herald All-South Mississippi Team selections and a pair of Clarion Ledger Top-Ten Performer honors. The pitcher/infielder was named to the 2013 3A all-state squad and was selected to play for the West team in the 2013 Gulf Coast Futures All-Star Game. A three-time Sun Herald Player of the Week and 2013 1A/2A/3A South All-Star, Blaker led the league in batting average as a junior and in RBI as a senior.
Away from softball, Blaker does volunteer work at the South Mississippi Regional Center and is an assistant coach for her younger brother Brody's baseball team. During the holiday season, Blaker volunteers to deliver meals to the needy and throughout the year she serves at the local nursing home and helps with Buddy Ball activities for special-needs children.
"As soon as I stepped on campus I knew that's where I wanted to be," Blaker said. "I know I have great academic possibilities there. I love the coaching staff, and I absolutely love the girls I'll be playing with."
Carter, an outfielder/infielder was a four-time all-state and all-conference selection at Madison Ridgeland Academy. She was named a Mississippi Association of Independent Schools (MAIS) North AA/AAA All-Star as a senior and an a MAIS Fab 15 selection as a junior and senior. The most valuable player of the team as a senior, Carter was a captain her last three years on the squad. Within the team, she was tabbed the program's best offensive player as a sophomore and junior while claiming the best defensive player award as a sophomore.
In addition to softball, Carter plays basketball and runs track at MRA. At the 2013 MAIS North AAA state track meet, she helped the Lady Patriots to the runner-up finish. Carter placed second in the triple jump, third in the 200-meter dash and fifth in the long jump while being part of the first-place 4x200-meter relay team and second-place 4x100 and 4x400-meter groups.
"The Mississippi State environment feels like home and everyone is so nice," Carter said of her decision to become a Bulldog.
During the summer, Carter gained additional softball experience playing for the Mississippi Elite. With the club, the team co-captain won the ASA 16-and-under state championship and participated in the USFA World Series, finishing as the runner-up.
Off the field, Carter is involved with Ronald McDonald House charities, Operation Christmas Child and Horses for Handicapped, a group of volunteers committed to improving the quality of life for handicapped children through hands-on interaction with horses.
Knudsen has been a three-year letterwinner as an infielder, outfielder and pitcher for the Rams and head coach Tia Stiles. As a junior, she earned a spot on the Class 5A Iowa Girls Coaches Association All-State Second Team, the District 5A West first team and the All-Central Iowa Conference Second Team as an infielder. A year earlier, Knudsen earned District 5A West first team honors while playing infield.
Also at Southeast Polk, Knudsen is involved with student council, student activities leadership team and the National Honor Society. She volunteers for Care Initiatives Hospice, going to nursing homes and visiting the residents, the Children's Cancer Connection and the Kiwanis Miracle League, helping disabled children play softball/baseball during the summer.
Her travel team, the Iowa Blitz, has claimed second place at the nationals in South Carolina and won the title in California.
Mississippi State just finished the Southeastern Conference Tournament and now wait to hear if they advance to the NCAA Tournament. The selection show will take place Sunday at 9 p.m. CT on ESPNU.

Puffy Paws Cat Haven is well respected in their Englewood, Florida community. Founded in 2006 by Rick and Chrissy Kingston, this beautiful rescue is home to 200 kitties with feline leukemia, FIV, feral cats, unadoptable kitties, one eye cats, senior kitties, kitties that do not use their litter box, abused kitties, cats with neurological disorders, abused kitties and more.
Rick and Chrissy take in the unwanted and unadoptable kitties that would be euthanized elsewhere, and the premium cat food that fits all their nutritional needs is expensive. With Puffy Paws being a cat hospice for special need and unwanted kitties, the rescue had to change their diet in order to have the kitties in the best ultimate health.
Right now they're in desperate need of a cat food reserve, and have to raise the money needed to feed the cats on a weekly basis. No food would mean hungry cats. They have until Friday to cover the next weeks worth of kitty vittles.
Thirty two cases of wet food a week are needed of California Natural Chicken & Brown Rice Formula Canned Cat & Kitten Food - 13.2 oz Cans $1.41.5 per can: 12 in a case - $16.98 per case 4.5 case a day: - $ 67.92 9 bags of dry food a week California Natural Chicken & Brown Rice Formula Dry Cat & Kitten Food - 15 pounds $26.21, plus a $17 delivery charge.
You can take some of the worry off of Rick and Chrissy by clicking here to donate. The power bill money was raised, but the food needs are there. Please only give as much as you can comfortably spare. It takes a group effort to continuously feed these sweet cats.
Rick and Chrissy have a message to their many supporters
"You have the power to advert this tragedy By using the Shopping Cart on this page, you may donate to pay for 1 case of wet food,or more. A bag of dry,or more. Or you may make a donation of your choice. A $3 $5 $10 donation is like a million bucks to the kitties. It is all up to what your heart and budget can afford to take care of the kitties. Every little bit helps. Please only give what your heart & budget can afford. Thank You Rick & Chrissy & Da Kitties Founders Puffy Paws Kitty Haven."
The decision to place the cats on a premium diet has saved the rescue a lot of money. Back when the cats were on cheap dry food, they could eat all day long and never get full. The switch has saved more than $22,000 a year in litter alone, plus made for healthier cats.
Take a look at the photos in this slideshow. These cats live in luxury, for whatever time they have left on this earth. Puffy Paws Kitty Haven needs to be able to focus on other things, and not have to worry about where the next weeks worth of food is coming from. They also have veterinarian visit costs to cover, household expenses, and with it being summer, the worry of Florida hurricanes.
Please give what you can, and share their story with friends.

ATLANTA (Aug. 31, 2011) – Yesterday, 13 organizations kicked off Childhood Cancer Awareness month by launching a new initiative to help fight childhood cancer. The Stop Childhood Cancer Alliance was created to be the driving force in increasing awareness of childhood cancer and enhancing support for the young people fighting this disease as well as the clinicians and researchers who are helping them. The alliance is comprised of organizations with a common goal -- to care for children living with cancer and to cure the disease.
Cancer is a battle too many of our young children and teenagers must face every day. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children from birth to age 15. Each year, more than 10,000 new cases of childhood cancer are diagnosed—approximately 46 children and adolescents every day.
"We've made great strides in the search for a cure for childhood cancer over the past 25 years, but we have to do much more to save the lives of countless children," said Howard Katzenstein, M.D., Director of the Innovative Therapy Program at the Aflac Cancer Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Director of Clinical Research at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Emory School of Medicine . "These wonderful organizations within the Stop Childhood Cancer Alliance are stimulating research, caring for kids with cancer, raising awareness of the disease – and want others to join in the fight to save lives."
Founding members of the Stop Childhood Cancer Alliance include: The Aflac Cancer Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta , Aflac Inc. , Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities , Blue Skies , Brain Tumor Foundation for Children , Camp Sunshine , CURE Childhood Cancer , Curing Kids Cancer , Georgia Cancer Coalition , Ian's Friends Foundation , Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta , The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Lighthouse Family Retreat .
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal kicked off the effort by signing a proclamation at an event just for children battling cancer to declare September as Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Throughout the month, the initiative hopes to utilize traditional and social media to encourage people to learn more about childhood cancer and to get involved by educating others, volunteering or making donations through member organizations.
In addition to Georgia's Governor and member organizations, celebrities like Cindy Crawford and her partners at Rooms To Go are lending their support to the cause through social media channels like Twitter and Facebook. Aflac , Inc. will launch a national media campaign including television, billboards, advertising and social media – and will sell an iconic Childhood Cancer Awareness Aflac Duck with all proceeds benefitting childhood cancer research. Other member organizations will be executing various events and campaigns for childhood cancer awareness.
To find out more about the Stop Childhood Cancer Alliance and how to get involved through member organizations, please visit www.stopchildhoodcancer.org . Every person you educate, every hour you volunteer and every dollar you donate makes a difference.

Swords & Serpents (NES) review
"Like I said, theres not an in-depth plot. The game is more about exploration and the occasional adrenaline rushes that come from knowing youre only surviving by the skin of your teeth. It is the very definition of dungeon crawler, and embodies most everything you may dread about that phrase. If youre one of the few who lives for this sort of thing, though, Swords & Serpents is one of the best the NES ever saw."

A life-threatening cardiac event and stroke almost took the life of country icon Randy Travis last year. In a rare public appearance, Travis and fiancée Mary Beougher attended a Dolly Parton concert recently. Travis needed a cane to walk from his bus into the venue and to his seat, but a full recovery is expected.
Mary Beougher decided to surprise Randy Travis and took him to see Dolly Parton's concert in Thackerville, Okla., according to a report on June 4. The couple was accompanied by their close friend, country music singer Janie Fricke. According to Dolly Parton's publicist, Randy Travis is doing great and is expected to make a full recovery. Sources say that Travis has been undergoing hyperbaric treatments three times a week and has made significant progress over the past several months.
Dolly Parton acknowledged Travis's presence at her concert, joking that Randy Travis was hiding somewhere dressed like Kenny Rogers. Dolly said that Randy has been a long-time friend and one of her favorite singer/songwriters of all time. Parton also said that Travis looks good and is doing great.
Although he has made significant strides in the healing process, there is not anyway to predict if Randy Travis will ever be able to perform again. Seeing him in the photo taken over the weekend with Dolly Parton and Janie Fricke, fans gained new hope that Travis will indeed perform again, given time. The singer, who is smiling in the photo, looks healthier than he did in photos posted on Twitter in January. He even appears to have gained back a bit of the significant amount of weight he has lost since July 2013.
In March Randy Travis's New Mexico ranch was put on the market for $14.7 million. The 20,000 square foot gated estate has stitched leather ceilings, horse stables, 10 fireplaces, hand-carved doors and more amenities. There is even a place that Travis had specifically built to park a tour bus. Randy Travis and then-wife Elizabeth purchased the home from former New Mexico Gov. Bruce King in 2002. The couple lived there together until their divorce in 2010.

Rajaratnam's Ill Health Wins Him Shorter Prison Term
Since Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam was found guilty on insider-trading charges in May, his lawyers have said that, because of previously undisclosed health problems, a long prison term would amount to a "death sentence."
Rajaratnam on Thursday was sentenced to 11 years in prison. It is among the largest insider-trading sentences in decades, though prosecutors were seeking as much as 24 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell said Rajaratnam's ill health justified some leniency in sentencing.
The judge indicated Rajaratnam is suffering from advanced diabetes, and said he is likely to require a kidney transplant — the first time the public was given some detail about the hedge-fund founder's medical condition.
After his conviction, Rajaratnam's attorneys filed under seal paperwork asking for leniency because of health problems. Defense lawyers didn't disclose Rajaratnam's illnesses then, but said confidential information had been provided to his probation officer about "several significant and challenging medical issues" which couldn't be managed in prison and would threaten his life if he were incarcerated for any length of time.
"Mr. Rajaratnam's failing health and the unique constellation of ailments ravaging his body mean, quite simply, that a lengthy period of imprisonment will constitute a death sentence and result in the permanent and final separation of Mr. Rajaratnam from his family," his lawyers said in an August court filing.
During the course of the trial, Mr.Rajaratnam missed a courtroom session after undergoing emergency surgery for a bacterial infection in his foot, according to a statement at the time. Rajaratnam made several court appearances this spring wearing a walking boot on his foot.
Health problems have played a role in other white collar criminal convictions. In 2005, former cable-TV executive John Rigas, then 80 years old, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a massive fraud, and the judge said he would have imposed a harsher sentence if not for Rigas's age and ill health. He had been treated for bladder cancer. Former WorldCom CEP Bernie Ebbers also asked for leniency in his fraud conviction, citing cardiomyopathy. Former Enron Chairman Ken Lay died of heart-related problems after his 2006 conspiracy-and-fraud conviction.

bkde {KernSmooth}
Returns x and y coordinates of the binned kernel density estimate of the probability density of the data.
bkde(x, kernel = "normal", canonical = FALSE, bandwidth, gridsize = 401L, range.x, truncate = TRUE)
- x
- numeric vector of observations from the distribution whose density is to be estimated. Missing values are not allowed.
- bandwidth
- the kernel bandwidth smoothing parameter. Larger values of
bandwidthmake smoother estimates, smaller values of
bandwidthmake less smooth estimates. The default is a bandwidth computed from the variance of
x, specifically the 'oversmoothed bandwidth selector' of Wand and Jones (1995, page 61).
- kernel
- character string which determines the smoothing kernel.
kernelcan be:
"normal"- the Gaussian density function (the default).
"box"- a rectangular box.
"epanech"- the centred beta(2,2) density.
"biweight"- the centred beta(3,3) density.
"triweight"- the centred beta(4,4) density. This can be abbreviated to any unique abbreviation.
- canonical
- logical flag: if
TRUE, canonically scaled kernels are used.
- gridsize
- the number of equally spaced points at which to estimate the density.
- range.x
- vector containing the minimum and maximum values of
xat which to compute the estimate. The default is the minimum and maximum data values, extended by the support of the kernel.
- truncate
- logical flag: if
TRUE, data with
xvalues outside the range specified by
range.xare ignored.
This is the binned approximation to the ordinary kernel density estimate. Linear binning is used to obtain the bin counts. For each
x value in the sample, the kernel is centered on that
x and the heights of the kernel at each datapoint are summed. This sum, after a normalization, is the corresponding
y value in the output.
a list containing the following components:
- x
- vector of sorted
xvalues at which the estimate was computed.
- y
- vector of density estimates at the corresponding
Density estimation is a smoothing operation. Inevitably there is a trade-off between bias in the estimate and the estimate's variability: large bandwidths will produce smooth estimates that may hide local features of the density; small bandwidths may introduce spurious bumps into the estimate.

Made In Chelsea's Spencer Matthews & Andy Jordan Tell Us Who They REALLY Fancy
Made In Chelsea's Spencer Matthews, Andy Jordan, Stevie Johnson AND Oliver Proudlock all have a crush on the same girl - and it's not Louise Thompson!
Last month, we interviewed Proudlock, who told us exclusively that Mila Kunis was his first choice to play Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie.
He told us: "I think Mila Kunis would make a great Ana for the film. She's gorgeous."
Then, last night, we attended the launch of Louise Thompson's jeans line Pocket London, where we asked Spencer and new boys Andy and Stevie which celebrity lady they'd most like to see wearing Louise's jeans.
And this is what they said…
Spencer: "Erm… Mila Kunis".
Stevie: "I could definitely see Mila Kunis wearing them. I can imagine her in a pair of Louise's jeans looking very good."
Andy: "I would say Mila Kunis, I love her!"
When we told Andy that Spencer had already said he liked Mila, Andy replied: "Hahahahaha. I love that! She's so hot right now!"
Is anyone else noticing a pattern here, or is it just us? This won't be the first time the boys have liked the same girl. After all, let's not forget the 'Jinky' drama from last week's episode and the hugely awkward Spencer-Louise-Andy love triangle.
Mila, you lucky, lucky girl. LL & RM

King Won't Be Pfizer's Last Deal
Pfizer's $68 billion purchase of Wyeth last year seemed like the king of all pharmaceutical deals, but it wasn't enough to crown the company's struggle to offset looming patent expirations for top-selling drugs like cholesterol pill Lipitor. That was made clear today when Pfizer, the No. 1 drug company by sales, said it would buy King Pharmaceuticals for $3.6 billion cash.
The King deal, at a reasonable price, should modestly help Pfizer offset its patent woes, but Pfizer will likely have to do more deals to successfully navigate the next few years.
The Wyeth deal diversified Pfizer and landed some gems including the Prevnar childhood vaccine. But it hasn't stopped Pfizer from suffering setbacks in its expensive quest to bring new drugs to market. Repeated research failures have made it more difficult for Pfizer to replace billions of dollars in revenue that will be lost to generic competition in coming years, most notably when cheap copycat versions of Lipitor are expected to hit the U.S. market in November 2011. Investors now place virtually no value on Pfizer's pipeline of experimental drugs, and instead look to cost savings and cash flow from existing products as sources of Pfizer's strength in coming years.
The King purchase alone won't solve Pfizer's problems. With King, Pfizer gets a maker of traditional drug products with about $1.5 billion in annualized revenues (versus Pfizer's estimated $68 billion this year), and pain treatments like the Flector skin patch and the abuse-deterrent Embeda, which will complement Pfizer's own pain blockbusters Lyrica and Celebrex. Pfizer sees the deal adding a few pennies a share to its annual earnings in coming years, a fraction of its expected $2.25-$2.35 per share in 2012. Pfizer's projection of $200 million in annual savings from the King deal—presumably by cutting sales forces and other overlapping areas–may prove conservative.
It's not a game-changer like Wyeth and it's not a bold expansion into biotechnology-style drugs (which probably would have carried a richer price tag). "It's incremental revenue and the ability to grow earnings a bit more than they were going to be able to before, through the challenging years they face," says Edward Jones analyst Linda Bannister.
Expect more deals in the same ballpark price-wise. Pfizer's 2012 revenue target range of $65.2 billion to $67.7 billion assumes acquisitions that would bring in up to 5% of that target. King gets them roughly halfway there. Pfizer's strategy is to pursue bolt-on deals that expand its reach in emerging markets, generics and patented prescription drugs treating pain, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and certain other disease categories.
Whether Pfizer remains king of the drug industry will be clearer in a couple years.

Pachyderms of Antwerp
This family of wooden elephants was parading outside the Central Station (the large building in the back) in Antwerp, Belgium on 15 July. They were headed towards the entrance of the Antwerp Zoo next to the station.
The World Congress of Malacology had an opening night reception in the zoo that night. We drank wine, introduced ourselves to those we didn't know and talked; there was no time to walk around the zoo to look at the animals. In fact, the only "animal" I photographed was a nearby potted Wollemi pine. That will be the subject of tomorrow's post.
A certain malacologist-whose identity won't be revealed here-briefly attempted to develop an intimate relationship with one of the anatomically correct male elephants.

|Holds a BFA & MFA at the age of 23. Was Miss Teen African American 2007. She was the host of the WSHA 88.9 radio show Gospel Morning Joy at the age 18. Was a competitive swimmer in Europe when she was younger. She was a lifeguard for the YMCA and continues to teach swim lessons whenever she's back home. Was the assistant to the Chaplain at George Washington University. She is extremely passionate about education and women's rights worldwide, and donates her time and money to raising awareness in communities around the world. She has been featured in Next Step Magazine as a rising star, and her local newspaper several times. She was awarded a Silver Medal at the NAACP ACTSO competition. She made her first professional onscreen appearance in the film "Savannah: The River Story" starring Chiwetel Ejiofor.
|Crashonda Edwards most recently appeared as Castabella in The Atheist Tragedy and Marianna in All's Well that End's Well at the Shakespeare Theatre Company and George Washington University's Academy for Classical Acting program's repertory showcase. Crashonda was born in Budingen, Germany and lived in Kitzingen, Germany until the age of 8. After an extensive amount of traveling due to her dad's military career, her parents bought a house in Fayetteville, NC and made it home. At the age of 17, she was accepted to the prestigious North Carolina School of the Arts high school, where she spent a year studying theatre at the world-renowned drama department. Upon graduation, she pursued a BFA at Savannah College of Art and Design and during the summer studied at the New York Theatre Intensive. Following graduation, she went on to pursue her MFA at Shakespeare Theatre Company and George Washington University's Academy for Classical Acting program. An accomplished actress and activist, Crashonda is now the first person on her paternal and maternal side to hold an MFA. "I want my career to be based on my technique and skill." With an abundance of talent, drive, faith and skill, the next chapter of her life is sure to inspire.
|When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering "I was lost,"
Now I'm found and forgiven.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow.

eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus aquaticus)
The eastern mole is large, measuring approximately 6-7 inches in length and can be distinguished by large, wide, almost hairless forepaws. The tail is short, round, scantily haired, and less than 1/4th their total length. The nose is elongated into a distinct snout. The eyes are small with no external opening, and external ears are not present. The fur is dense, silky, colored from black to silver. They have 1 litter per year, usually in March or April with 2-5 young per litter. The life expectancy of the eastern mole can be as long as six years. The home range of the males is 1.09 hectares, and the female home range is considerably smaller. The tunnels are either surface runways approximately 2-3 cm deep (ridges are used primarily for food collection), or deep permanent passages (10-40 cm deep) used for living quarters. They are active day and night in burrows, all seasons. During colder weather they may use one nest site for inactive periods yet communal 'main runs' do exist.
This species is abundant throughout the eastern half of state and at lower altitudes in the western portion. They are most common in grassy fields, meadows, pastures, lawns and forest floors. They require well drained sandy soils which have a low rock and clay content. Highly acidic soils are avoided because the necessary food sources are not available.
This species has a voracious appetite, with the daily food consumption 25-100% of the body weight. It feeds mainly on earthworms but eats all types of insects and insect larvae as well as some plant material.

A few details emerge on Laura Cunningham's plans for Vita, new Yountville restaurant
As we took a leisurely stroll through Yountville yesterday afternoon we grabbed a copy of the town newspaper, the Yountville Sun. The front page write-up and photos of this week's Bardessono opening were what initially caught our eye, but it was a small story inside that we found to be of particular interest…
Near the back of the paper there is a blurb detailing plans for Laura Cunningham's 130-seat Vita restaurant, which will go in where PJ Steak previously stood on North Washington Street. Since we're unable to find a link to the Yountville Sun online (at least not one that includes this week's stories), here's an excerpt from the Vita write-up:
While customer parking will remain at the back of the lot, the restaurant's entrance is proposed on the street, not adjacent to the parking lot as it previously was. No second-story dining is planned, though offices are to be located on a second story on the rear portion of the structure. The kitchen and all food-handling areas will be on the west side of the structure, with pizza bar seating surrounding a pizza oven that flows into a large, open dining room. This design is the work of the San Francisco architectural firm Samantha & Hart. The plans call for concrete walls to be softened with vertical gardens of drought-resistant plants native to Italy's southern region.
If you can, pick-up a copy of the Yountville Sun for an image showing the exterior of proposed new structure. Apparently the Yountville Town Council will be reviewing the plans at its next meeting on February 17th.

The NBA playoffs have had a lot of twists and turns already. Yet at the halfway point of the playoffs, the same old ending in the NBA finals is close at hand. On May 14, both the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs took another step towards a finals rematch, by finishing off overmatched second round opponents in Game 5 victories at home.
The Heat needed a late run to finish off the Brooklyn Nets by 96-94, while the Spurs had yet another blowout over the Portland Trail Blazers by 104-82. But the end results were the same, as the Heat and Spurs cruised back to the conference finals in just five games.
For much of Game 5, it looked like the Heat would have to exhaust themselves towards a return to Brooklyn. The Nets used a late first half run to take a halftime lead, then held a 91-83 advantage with under five minutes left. Yet Brooklyn wouldn't score another point until Miami was up by 95-91 with seconds left.
The 12-0 run culminated in Ray Allen hitting the go-ahead three, putting a dagger into ex-teammates Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. The Nets did have one more chance after Joe Johnson finally hit a three-pointer and LeBron James made just one of two free throws afterwards. But thanks to Allen and James' defense on Johnson in the final play, the Nets didn't even get a final shot off.
The Heat still have the best record in the NBA playoffs thus far, improving to 8-1 through two rounds. Although Miami won't have home court in the Eastern Conference finals if the Indiana Pacers finally advance, the Pacers have already suffered four home losses in this postseason.
The Spurs will have home court in the Western Conference finals, whether the Oklahoma City Thunder or Los Angeles Clippers meet them. Unlike in their tough first round series with the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs were barely challenged in their victories over the Blazers. Game 5 was no exception, as San Antonio had a 40-7 advantage from the bench and had the depth to survive Tony Parker's hamstring injury.
San Antonio gave Parker extra time to heal -- but the chance to heal itself from last year's finals loss in Miami is closer than ever. Now both teams are four wins away from giving these NBA playoffs a familiar ending.

OF CONGRESS, Guide to Law Online: MEXICO
This site provides a description of several web sites on Mexican
law (without providing the corresponding addresses!). It includes,
inter alia, the well-known Mexican sites from a) INFOJUS,
Legal Research Institute (IIJ), UNAM; b) the government of Mexico:
the Presidency, Chamber of Deputies, Senate, etc.; c) Other
miscellaneous sites. Special recognition is given to the site from
the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, NAFTA-related, in
Canada which includes: 1) A Summary of Mexico's Legal System (in
English, Spanish and French); 2) The environmental laws of Mexico,
Canada and the United States (in English, Spanish and French). Unfortunately,
the information contained is outdated since this site was last revised
in May 10, 1996.
OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN, Tarlton Law Library Resources on Aztec and Maya
Interesting bilbiographical collection of legal works compiled
by Mike Widener, Archivist/Rare Books Librarian, in these areas:
1) Mexican legal history: General works; 2) Aztec and Maya
(sic) Law; 3) Indian Law and Indian Rights in Mexico's Colonial
Era (1521-1810); and 4) Aztecs and Mayas: General works. A
most fascinating collection of legal works of interest to legal
historians, sociologists and anthropologists. The influence of Dr.
Guillermo Floris Margadant, a regular Visiting Professor at UT from
UNAM and my Roman Law professor while I was at UNAM's School of
Law, seems to be present in the desire to give visibility to this
unique collection.
SCHOOL OF LAW: Mexico, Foreign International Law
1) Constitutions of Mexico; 2) Laws and Legislation; 3) Government
Sites from Mexico: Cámara de Diputados (Chamber of
Deputies) and Cámara de Senadores (Chamber
of Senators); 4) General Information; 5) U.S. Law School Study Abroad
Programs to Mexico; and 6) UNAM's School of Law (Facultad de
Derecho de la UNAM). Original legal resources include: a) Mexico's
Code of Commerce (Código de Comercio, 1989 version);
b) Federal Amparo Act (Ley de amparo, 1936 version); c) New
Agrarian Act (Nueva Ley Agraria, 1992 version); d) Federal
Code of Civil Procedure (Código de Procedimientos Civiles
para el Distrito Federal). Law students may find useful to contact
three website addresses for summer programs in Mexico.
1) Mexico's Federal Government; 2) Mexican Constitution of 1917
with amendments through March 1997; 3) Legislation: Bills, statutes
and codes; 4) Mexico Law Reviews and Periodicals; and 5) Other Mexican
Legal Resources. All the materials are in Spanish, to be accessed
through hyperlinks to other official, academic and commercial websites.
This site is of no use for English speakers. For those fluent in
Spanish it may be more effective to contact Mexico's legal resources
directly. See infra.
This is the trilingual Website of Mexico's Presidency in Spanish,
English and French. It is the most technologically-advanced, attractive
and multidisciplinary website on Mexico, its government, economy,
history, culture, art and public policy at the domestic and international
levels. It has a special section covering international events which
currently includes: President Zedillo mourns Nobel Winner
Ocatavio Paz; 2) New Chiapas Press Room; 3) New Budget Adjustment;
4) Foreign Firms to Invest 10.5 billion dollars in Mexico; 5) State
Visit to Venezuela and Second Summit of the Americas; 6) State Visit
to Chile; 7) The 1998 World Economic Forum at Davos; 8) State Visit
of the Primer Minister of Trinidad and Tobago; 9) President Zedillo's
Interview by NBC early this year; and, 10) Official Visit by Team
Canada in January of 1998. This website recently added the
space titled: "New Sections" which includes a) A video visit to
"Los Pinos" (Mexico's Presidential house); b) Secofi-Nafta statistical
information; c) The Cinco de Mayo celebration in Puebla. Although
only a minimum of the information is of a legal nature, to visit
this website is always interesting and useful.
(Mexico's Supreme Court of Justice)
This website includes this "Important Note to Foreign Users:
There is no English version of this site, because all the legal
information must be in Spanish." The site is formed by these nine
sections (all in Spanish): 1) Directory of Justices (Directorio
de Ministros). It contains biodata on each of Mexico's eleven
Justices (Ministros); 2. Judicial Directory (Directorio Judicial).
Telephone numbers of all Federal courts in that country; 3.
Press Communiqués issued by the Supreme Court (Comunicados
de Prensa de la Suprema corte de justicia de la Nación);
4. Jurisprudence and Theses rendered by the Supreme Court since
1917 (Consulta de Jurisprudencia y Tesis Aisladas desde 1917)
. To access the judicial information contained in this
space (similar to case law), the user must be familiar with the
Supreme Court's Chambers (Salas) and Epochs (Epocas) and
provide key words to tap the information. This data base has been
updated every month since 1996. 5. Federal Legislation (Legislación
Federal). This legal database includes information regarding
367 Mexican federal statutes. The information is extracted based
on key words or phrases provided by the user. The resulting legal
texts reproduce only pertinent paragraphs from the statute in question
but not the complete text; 6. Public Auctions (Consulta de
Licitaciones); 7. Summaries of Plenary Sessions (Resumen
de las Sesiones del Pleno or En banc decisions); 8. Summaries
of the First Chamber (Resumen de las Sesiones de la Primera
Sala); 9. Summaries of the Second Chamber (Resumen de las
Sesiones de la Segunda Sala). All of these summaries contain information
since May 2, 1995 and are updated on a monthly basis; and, 10.
Information Module to Provide Current Updates regarding cases pending
the Supreme Court (Módulo de Informes). The website has
received several awards.
(Senate of the Republic)
The Mexican Senate has a most useful and elegant website in
Spanish. It it formed by these ten spaces: 1) Principal Page (Página
Principal); 2) The Senate at the LVII Legislature (El Senado
de la República en la LVII Legislatura); 3) The Senate
as an Organ of the Government of Mexico (Organo de Gobierno);
4) Legislation (Legislación). This is one of the
most useful spaces, providing up to date information in these three
categories: a) Mexican legislation; b) The Legislative process.
This space provides an interesting chart depicting the legislative
process from the submission of the bill (Iniciativa), its
discussion in each of the two Chambers (Cámaras), and
the eventual passing of the bill in most cases. And, c) International
Treaties and Diplomatic Conventions. Like the U.S. Senate, its Mexican
counterpart plays a decisive role in "approving" (i.e., granting
its advice and consent) any type of international intruments. By
the way, the Senate has published Mexico's most complete and authoritative
Treatise Collection of Mexican Treaties. 5) Virtual Visit
to the Mexican Senate (Visita Virtual). This space
offers an intriguing historical tour through the corridors of the
Mexican Senate. 6) Today, in the Mexican Senate (Hoy en el Senado).
This is one of the most fascinating areas of this website. It
provides a living narrative of the most current issues discussed
by the Senate. It is a most enlightening visit for any foreign visitors
fluent in Spanish. Highly recommended. 7) Publications (Publicaciones).
The space consists of an Index consisting of 29 titles, ranging,
for example, from: a) The Congress of the United States!; b) The
Helms-Burton Act; c) Mercosur; d) Mexico and the Immigration
Policy of the United States; e) Mexico and the European Union; f)
Interparliamentary Meetings between Mexico and the U.S., and Mexico
and Canada; g) NAFTA; 8) Social Communication (Comunicación
Social); 9) Places of Interest (Sitios de Interés).
A source of fascinating vignettes about the Senate; and, 10)
Electronic mail (Buzón Electrónico). I was
impressed by two spaces: I. Legislatives bills submitted (Iniciativas
Presentadas). This space provides the text of each legislative
bill formally submitted to the Senate, such as: a) A bill to amend
Mexico's Foreign Investment Act of 1993!; b) the Organic Act of
the Federal Commission of Telecommunications, etc. Other documents
included in this space provided, inter alia, the text of
the Interim Agreement between Mexico and the European Union! For
U.S. lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs, government officials,
journalists and academicians, including bilingual law and business
professors, this is definitely the most useful website on Mexican
law from an official source in Mexico. The best on legal materials!
FEDERAL DE MEXICO(Federal Legislation of Mexico). Sponsored by the
CAMARA DE DIPUTADOS(Chamber of Deputies).
Similar to its legislative counterpart, this website is composed
of these fourteen sections, all in Spanish: 1) Principal Page (Página
Principal); 2) Presentation (Presentación); 3)
History (History); 4) Legal Framework (Marco Jurídico);
5) Organs of the Government (Organos de Gobierno); 6)
Administrative Area (Area Administrativa); 7) The
Legislative Process (El Proceso Legislativo); 8) Commissions
and Committees (Comisiones y Comités); 9) Directory
(Directorio); 10) Social Communication (Comunicación
Social); 11) Legislative Museum (Museo Legislativo); 12)
Interesting Sites (Sitios de Interés); 13) Virtual
Visit (Visita Virtual); and, 14) Electronic Mail (Buzón
Electrónico). This website also includes a space on Current
Activities (Actividades Relevantes) which reproduces the
text of Press Releases (Boletines de Prensa) on a variety
of political issues. Each bulletin is given a number. Special emphasis
was given, inter alia, to the Presidential Bill to Make Constitutional
Amendments in Matters of Insigenous Law and Culture (Iniciativa
Presidencial de Reformas Constitucionales en Materia de Derecho
y Cultura Indígena). This space also includes the stenographic
versions of the first year of activities of this legislature. The
content of the website is more political than legal.
(Banco Mexicano de Comercio
This bank, founded in 1937, is the federal government's leading
financial institution responsible for the channeling of credit,
guarantees, and promotion of services to foster international trade
and to facilitate the direct flow of foreign investment into Mexico.
Its site is formed by these sections: 1) Directory of Mexican Exporters;
2) Mexico Business Opportunities; 3) Export and Investment Information
Offices in Mexico; 4) Mexican Trade Commission Offices Around the
World; 5) Trade Leads in Mexico; 6) Mexican Government Agencies
and Institutions; 7) Mexican Universities, Research Centers and
Institutes; 8) Guest Message Center; 9) Mexico News Sources; 10)
Resource Centers and Search Engines; 11) Information on NAFTA; 12)
Regional and State Information on Mexico; 13) Legal Resources/Information
on Mexico/Latin America; 14) Information on Mexico from U.S. Universities
and Research Centers; 15) Quick Reference/Index; and, 16) Monthly
Newsletter. This site aspires to be a one-stop Mexico information
center. Its information is current, well-presented and quite practical.
Highly recommended although not exclusively legal.
web site is an electronic clearinghouse to access federal agencies.
This is not a legal website; however, it is the most comprehensive
and useful site providing access to all the numerous agencies of
Mexico's Federal Public Administration which pursuant to Article
49 of the Federal Constitution is divided into three branches: the
Executive, the Judicial and the Legislative. This site claims to
have links to 2,400 governmental agencies. Recently, it added public
access to governmental public information in compliance with the
Act for Transparency and Access to Public Governmental Information
(Ley de Transparencia y Acceso a la Informacion Gubernametal).
1) Legal Systems; 2) Legislation (Statutes, Constitutions, Regulations)
3) Supreme Court decisions (Case law or Jurisprudencia);
4) Documents, law reviews and books; 5) Legal materials
and publications; 6) Legal information; and 7) Bibliographical sources.
This is the most comprehensive legal resource on Mexican law in
Spanish in operation since June of 1995. Excellent presentation,
easy access and outstanding legal, judicial and bibliographical
resources. A "must" for any serious researcher interested
in Mexican law. This website depends from the Legal Research Institute
(Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas or IIJ) of
Mexico's National Autonomous University (Universidad Nacional
Autónoma de México or UNAM). Close to 100 researchers
and scholars work at the IIJ, which has the largest and most complete
collection of Mexican law materials in Mexico.
This trilingual (English/Spanish/French) site was created to
inform on the CEC's activities. Its regular sections include: 1)
What's New at CEC? 2) CEC Resources and Publications; 3) NA Fund
for Environmental Cooperation; 4) Global Linkages to CEC; 5) Site
Map; 6) CEC Profile Programs; 7) Citizen Submissions; 8) Contracts
and Job Offers; 9) Independent review Committee of NAAEC; and, 10)

Like death and taxes, a Woody Allen a year is either inevitable or something you can consistently look forward to, depending on your perspective.
This year's offering from the insanely prolific director is a little film called 'Blue Jasmine.'
After her husband is taken to jail for some large-scale financial shenanigans (think, Bernie Madoff), Jasmine (Cate Blanchett) moves to from New York to San Francisco to live with her sister, Ginger (Sally Hawkins). The two sisters are complete opposites: Jasmine is used to a posh lifestyle and until now, has led a charmed life while Sally has always struggled. Years earlier, Sally and her then-husband Augie (Andrew Dice Clay) invested everything they had with Jasmine's husband Hal (Alec Baldwin). When that fell apart, they were ruined and their family (including two children) dissolved from this strain. Needless to say, Augie still has some hard feelings while Ginger puts all of that aside to help her sister even though she is now dating another 'loser' that Jasmine doesn't approve of named Chili (Bobby Cannavale).
In a new town, surrounded by people she cannot relate to and who she still looks down upon, Jasmine clings to her haughty ways though her behavior occasionally hints at the fact that she might be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
While she tries to begin her life anew by taking a computer class and trying to pursue her interest in interior design, she simultaneously complicates her sister's life.
Will Jasmine ever be able to move on from the humiliation of her past and come to terms with the drastic lifestyle change that has been forced upon her? Can she stop being so condescending and develop a healthy relationship with her sister? Will either woman be able to establish and maintain a healthy relationship?
As inconsistent as 'To Rome With Love' was, it had a lightness that is missing here. There are only one or two scenes that are outright funny with any other humor being very sly and subtle. For the most part, this is a drama with some romantic elements. Allen's best work has almost always been a result of commitment to either comedy or drama with a few notable exceptions that blended the two. He gets into trouble when the tone isn't firmly established early on.
The narrative bounces back and forth between the present and past tense: showing Jasmine in her current desperate state and a scene from the past when she was in the lap of luxury that is also in response to what happens in the present. At first, this bouncing around is slightly disorienting and is very annoying. Upon getting used to it, it is a viable way to fill us in on Jasmine's journey though there must have been a better way to do it.
Speaking of ineffective narrative techniques, it seems as though there is a lot of pedestrian exposition shoehorned into the dialog of this film. He has been more seamless with his dialog in the past (when he is on his game, Allen has been one of the best at this) which suggests that some of the finer details in this story weren't smoothed out.
This isn't a spoiler, but things end in an appropriate place but everything is wrapped up so hurredly and by a chance encounter and last-minute revelation. This deus-ex-machina ending has been utilized by Allen before ('Mighty Aphrodite') and it always hurts the end result.
The performances really carry the day. Allen has a lot of leverage and ability to both attract and get the most out of talent. Obviously, Blanchett is the star here and she elevates the material. Anything that works in this story basically works because of her performance. Baldwin and Hawkins are also very strong. Cannavale adds the right amount of intensity to the story. Clay and C.K. actually do good work here, though each only really has a few scenes. Whether it's a credit to Allen as a director or merely his ability to attract talent, he is always able to get the most out of his cast.
Special features include: a few previews
It's hard to call 'Blue Jasmine' a comedown because it isn't on the heels of a massive success, but it is merely an average late period work from the director. Though it may be a pedestrian story/script, Blanchett's performance makes this well-worth watching.
Rated R 93 minutes 2014
