Google Reader Vs MyAOL Favorites
Mashable puts the two head to head and Google Reader wins by a landslide. No surprise there and I haven't even tried MyAOL. That's how good Google Reader is.
Mashable puts the two head to head and Google Reader wins by a landslide. No surprise there and I haven't even tried MyAOL. That's how good Google Reader is.
Bill Drew makes the switch. Have you?
Louis Gray has a few ideas…
FYI, I'm still in love with Google Reader. This morning, I posted to my blog and, for giggles, I refreshed the reader seconds after. My post was the first one there!! How cool!!
Jill Stover brings up a good point regarding the sharing feature on Google Reader:
"I'm glad to do this because I often read so much that I want to discuss with all of you but I can't always find the time. This way, at least you know I'm thinking about it!"
The Reader makes it so easy to share (seriously – just hit "Shift-S" and it's done) that the more share, the more we learn. Basic community practices apply. Lots of LS readers have shared their URLs, but I'm sure that there is more out there. Send yours in. 🙂
There's lots of neat tools that we can use to play with our shared items. This is very meta and I'm loving it. I have a good feeling about all of this
Hey, if you are using Google Reader and are using their shared items feature, leave the URL in the comments…
Since Google Reader is making my RSS reading so very easy these days (I really love this thing), I've been able to keep up with my shared items as well. It's so easy to add a post to it, just hit "Shift-S" while I'm reading from the aggregator. Suweeeeeet!.
If you're a Google Reader addict and like the stuff I blog about, why not grab my shared items feed and add it your feeds (really, you can do this in any reader)? I read Robert Scoble's shared items and he really helps me to stay current in the tech/geek world. Very serendipitous.
One suggestion to the Google Reader folks. Robert shares posts that I am already subscribed to. Is there a way to get rid of the duplicates?
Laura "Tegan" Gjovaag does a stream of consciousness review of Google Reader while comparing it to Bloglines. Do take a look. I like this quote, which I was thinking too as I fell madly in love with Google Reader:
"Here's my thoughts, as I go through the new Google Reader… First off, before I even open the thing, I'm thinking how Google is slowly taking over my life. Their e-mail system is better than many others (I love being able to put emails in multiple "folders" with the labels function, and the spam filter is better than just about anyone else), I use their search engine almost exclusively, and they've bought Blogger. Despite their mantra "Don't Be Evil", they've made some very depressing choices regarding politics and internet freedom. Hmmm… do I really want to turn over my blog reading to them as well?"

You break up, you make up, only to break up again ... and get back together. Again. Really, you should probably just let that on-again, off-again relationship go. The odds? It's not pointing to happily ever after.
Today reports that a new study finds couples caught in "recycled romances" are more apt to call it quits if they move in together and to go through trial separations if they tie the knot.
"Most people have been dumped and can relate to that longing for an ex and the dream of a second chance," Amber Vennum, the study's author and a Kansas State assistant professor of family studies and human services, tells the news show. "But in real life, as much as it hurts, maybe there are relationships that are better off left as memories."
Can we get that printed on a T-shirt or coffee cup or something? We've got some friends who would benefit from recycling that advice.

NEW YORK — Eight-Division world boxing champion boxer Manny Pacquiao handles his business both inside and outside of the ring. On Wednesday (September 19) Pac-Man was in New York City promoting his December 8 fight with his heated rival Juan Manuel Márquez, but also addressed his in-the-works promotion company with rap mogul 50 Cent.
"I love music, and he likes boxing also," Pacquiao told MTV News about the G-Unit head honcho just minutes before his big press conference at the Edison Ballroom in New York promoting the Márquez match. "We're talking about that and we're discussing. We didn't finalize yet because I'm so busy right now and he's busy right now."
Manny made it clear that he was focused on his December 8 bout with Márquez, a man who he is fighting for the fourth time in his career, but Pacquiao's business adviser Michael Koncz was able to give us much more detail.
"We've very close to it, I've been talking to 50 Cent now for over a month and a half, close to two months. It's becoming a reality, more than a possibility," Koncz said of the deal which will bring Fif and Pac together to promote big-time boxing matches. "I think we're going to end up doing something together before the year is out."
This is not 50's first venture into the sport. The multiplatinum rapper has a close friendship with boxing champ Floyd Mayweather — they call themselves the Money Team — but in a recent interview, Fif spoke on a rift between the longtime buddies. It is now being speculated that because Fif is gearing up to do business with Mayweather's rival Pacquiao, it has caused problems between the friends. During a radio interview on September 14 with Power 105's Breakfast Club in NYC, 50 said he and Floyd were still friends, and today, Koncz completely shot down the notion that Manny came between them.
"No, it's not because of this, and I believe they have a true friendship and all true friends have arguments periodically, but that's not my business," Koncz said diplomatically. "Floyd is always welcome, if we put this together, the door will always be open for Floyd to join in."
In fact, Koncz told MTV News that, at first, the pending business venture was intended to include Mayweather as well. "They approached us, they came to us and initially it was 50 Cent, Floyd and Manny," he said. "We don't have a problem with Floyd. Manny doesn't have any anger or resentment."
Regardless of Mayweather's involvement, Pacquiao and Fif are looking forward to doing business. Koncz envisions pay-per-view events that will not only feature marquee boxing matches, but mini-concerts as well, giving fans more bang for their buck. "That's the luxury that we would have through 50 that most promoters can't do because you really can't afford to put that in the show," he said, also noting that the concert idea is just one of many and isn't concrete.
Maybe with all of their influence 50 Cent and his new partner can finally put together a mega dream-match between Mayweather and Pacquiao. It is speculated that a fight between the two titans can bring in millions of dollars and break pay-per-view records. No telling if 50 Cent will be involved or if Pacquiao versus Mayweather will ever happen, but Manny remains hopeful. "There's a possibility to make that fight happen. Maybe not this time, but some other time," he said. "Right now I'm focused on December 8."
What effect will 50 Cent's pending partnership with Pacquiao have on his friendship with Floyd Mayweather? Sound off in the comments!

College Hockey:2009-10 Connecticut Season Preview
Connecticut is celebrating its 50th season of hockey, and Bruce Marshall's current squad would like to make some history of its own. It's a tall order for a young team that skated 20 underclassmen last season.
"It's time for the junior class to step up," said Marshall, whose team has just two seniors on the roster. "This was the group that missed getting to Rochester when they were freshmen and I think they have the attitude that they want to grab it sooner than later, knowing that their chances are running out."
The Huskies won just nine games last season, but three of them were in their final six contests, when they went 3-2-1 including an overtime loss and a hard-fought playoff defeat at Sacred Heart.
"I thought we were more consistent at the end of the year," Marshall said. "We didn't win every game but we felt it in our play. I think we did a better job of burying our chances and that's what we have to do this season to be successful."
The early departure of goaltender Beau Erickson, who had 86 starts over three seasons, leaves the job open for the taking by junior Brad McInnis and newcomers Matt Grogan and Jeff Larson.
"They'll all get a chance," Marshall said. "Brad's been overshadowed a bit and is looking for the opportunity, and we like our recruits."
Chris Ochoa will not return for his senior year after scoring a team-leading 16 goals last season. Hoping to pick up the slack are junior Andrew Olsen (12 goals) and Marcello Ranallo, who was one of the top rookies in the league last season (22 points).
The blueline corps will miss the leadership and power-play quarterbacking of Sean Erickson, but return four starters. Stopping the enemy's power play will be key if the Huskies want to improve this season — they were dead last in the league in PK last year, stopping just 77.6 percent of their opponent's opportunities.
Marshall, who has been with the UConn program for more than half of its 50 years as a player and coach, hopes that the year-long commemoration will provide a reminder to his team that perseverance pays off.
"We've done it all here, and worked our way up," he said. "We started as a club program playing on a pond, then played in Division III in a state-of-the-art outdoor rink (laughs). And now we're Division I with a beautiful facility and trying to make our own legacy. We didn't just start this Division I program from scratch. It's been a lot of hard work and a testament to the players through the years."

Mark's research interests lie at the intersection of politics, philosophy and economics with an emphasis on the implications of bounded rationality and imperfect knowledge for institutional design. He has a particular interest in the works of Hayek, public choice theory and related elements of the classical liberal tradition. His earlier work focussed on the political economy of environmental planning and regulation and explored the potential for property rights approaches to environmental problems. His more recent work has explored the implications of bounded rationality in the context of contemporary theories of deliberative democracy. His latest book is called Robust Political Economy: Classical Liberalism and the Future of Public Policy, Cheltenham: Edward Elgar (2011). This work examines challenges to market liberal theory derived from neo-classical economics, communitarian political theory and egalitarian ethical theory and applies the lessons learned in the context of the welfare state, international development and environmental protection. Mark would be interested in applications from PhD students working in the following areas

Wedding and Bridal Showers Gifts for a Second Wedding!
Etiquette states that the giving of gifts for a second wedding is not mandatory. However if the marriage is the first time around for one of the partners it is either way. In the past the tradition of wedding gifts came of wanting to help the couple set up their new home. With that in mind the presumption is that the couple will not need any of these gifts second time around. Most guests feel uncomfortable attending a wedding without giving a wedding gift. The bride and groom should consider setting up a bridal registry filled with fun items such as artwork, leisure equipment or even bottles of wine. Great ideas also are gift certificates or donations towards the green planet, offsetting carbon footprints, foster parenting or such.
It is unusual for a bridal shower to be thrown for a second wedding, mainly for the same reasons as the gift giving. But friends will probably throw one anyway of an unusual theme such as a 'bring a bottle' party, where each guest brings a bottle of wine, champagne or liquor. Some couples to be will set up a Jack and Jill or Buck and Doe party where all can celebrate together.
Who Pays for a Second Wedding?
It is usual for the 'couple to be' to pay for the second wedding themselves. The couple planning a second wedding should never expect the parents to chip in any or all of the costs. Mind you if they were to offer, the couple may accept graciously!

An encounter with a horseshoe crab
We came upon a live horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) stranded on the beach last week on Assateague Island. It had gotten stuck in the sand sideways and could not right itself up. The crab was lucky that birds or kids had not yet noticed its legs flailing in the air hopelessly.
After I turned it over, it started crawling awkwardly with its multiple appendages leaving behind shallow scratch marks in the sand.
At the rate it was travelling it would have taken the crab quite some time to reach the safety of the water. So I decided to interfere. After posing with it for a few shots, I released it in the surf. It didn't resurface.

Higginson Takes Second in Steeple at USA Track & Field Championships
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (6/29/14) - Ashley Higginson's second-place finish in the steeplechase highlighted the Princeton women's track & field presence at the USA Track & Field Championships this weekend.
Higginson was second in the women's steeplechase at 9:27.59. She was in the top four the entire race and after five laps took second place, behind Emma Coburn, and remained there through the finish. Higginson was second to Coburn earlier in the semifinal with a 9:40.26. She took the lead and held it through the first four laps before trading spots with Emma Coburn. She crept back ahead on lap 6, but fell back into second for the next 800 meters. Higginson ran the fastest lap 1 (39.52), lap 2 (1:15.64), lap 3 (1:16.60).
Higginson was a member of the 2013 World Championship team after finishing second at this meet a year ago. In 2012 she missed making the Olympic team by 2.4 seconds, taking fourth as an alternate. (note: Worlds are held every two years, Olympics every four, therefore there is no meet this year).
Cecilia Barowski '16 ran 2:02.14 in the women's preliminary 800, taking third in heat 1 and finishing seventh out of the 31 that competed. In the semifinal she clocked 2:07.78 and placed third in her heat and 14th overall. It marked a season best for Barowski who qualified for nationals with a 2:03.87.
Steepler Carrie Dimoff '05 ran in the women's 10k and finished 13th in the final at 33:34.01. She ran much of the race in the 13/14 position, holding 13th for the final 4400 meters.

I had the pleasure of meeting the Senatorial Candidate from the 14th district of the State of Maryland, and I couldn't have been more profoundly shocked! To begin with, this very imposing candidate, (all 6 ft 6 in and 360lb.) is a self professed "redneck" pickup driving conservative male. Forget the fact that he hails from one of the most democratically dominate state senate areas, or that among his hobbies, he loves drag racing, and calling conservative talk radio shows, but he just happens to be one of those guys you see attending and giving speeches at tea parties also!
Eric Cary is one of those guys that sees himself as the everyday average American Conservative male who is tired of the present day business as usual political scene. He has gained popularity, and quite a following on Facebook, much in the way Democrats have used it in the last election scene. He is computer savvy and has used his social networking skills to his benefit, to build a base to unseat longtime Democratic incumbent Rona E. Kramer in the predominately Democratic area of Montgomery County.
Eric Cary describes himself on his Facebook site as first and foremost a conservative, both fiscally and socially, and a Republican second. In an in depth talk, he stressed his desire to return to the well designed, and structured U.S. Constitution, the document that he fears the country has strayed so far from in the last 1 ½ years.
Mr. Cary feels that the Maryland State Legislature has strayed from those same values, and basically denied ownership in the current Maryland State deficit, instead blaming the past administration for the "structural deficit." Mr. Cary has declared that looting the various State department's surplus will bring Maryland into compliance with a state mandated balanced budget, but it only serves to start the year out with NO reserves what so ever. Unrestrained spending despite federal Stimulus Funds of 4 billion dollars and countless "pork barrel" grants have STILL left this state 2 billion in the red, and it's about time the government listens to the people! As Candidate Cary said, "We don't want to be recipients of the handout scraps of the federal government, Maryland should be able to survive on its own."
He feels that the political tide removed a Republican Governor in Maryland the last election, and the very same wave that took him out could also restore the state to Republican Governorship this go around. As Eric says, "what goes around, comes around," and the same dissatisfaction that thrust our state into a totalitarian Democratic dominance could also restore a two party legislature to this wonderful state!
Eric Cary invites every freedom loving conservative Face book fans to join him!

The team will be wearing special white and purple jerseys to help raise awareness of Domestic Violence Project, Inc., a local non-profit organization that offers support and treatment for victims of domestic violence and crime.
"We are thrilled to partner with Longbridge Wealth Advisors and the Canton Charge to provide us this opportunity to bring domestic violence awareness to the forefront of our local community," said Nancy Jackson, marketing and development coordinator for Domestic Violence Project, Inc.

|Home > RNJ > 2008 > March/April > Clinical Consultation: Fecal Incontinence Management Systems
A patient who is being treated for Clostridium difficile colitis is admitted to your transitional care unit. Along with orders for metronidazole (Flagyl), you find the order "Fecal Incontinence Management System—follow product protocol." While assessing the patient, you note a thick, flat, pliable tube running from the rectum to a drainage bag. How do you provide care for this patient?
Historically, healthcare personnel have used multiple tactics to manage diarrhea incontinence— incontinence pads, adult briefs, foley catheters inserted into the rectum with the balloon inflated, rectal tubes, and external fecal incontinence collectors. However, many of these interventions had adverse outcomes, including incontinence-related dermatitis, damage to the rectal mucosa or sphincters, odor, leaking, and patient discomfort and embarrassment. Currently, two fecal incontinence management systems are commercially available (see Table 1 for comparison). Both devices are indicated for the management of acute fecal incontinence.
The ConvaTec Flexi-Seal® Fecal Management System (FMS) is a containment device intended for temporary use in patients who have liquid or semiliquid stool and are either immobilized or bedridden (ConvaTec, n.d.). The system consists of a silicone catheter, syringe, and collection bag. At one end of the silicone catheter is a retention balloon that is lubricated and inserted into the rectum. After insertion, the syringe is used to fill the retention balloon with 45 cc of water or saline. At the other end of the silicone catheter is a collection bag. This bag has a closed end and a capacity of 1,000 cc and needs to be changed, not emptied. The Flexi-Seal FMS can be left in place for 29 days. The device can be removed from and reinserted into the same patient to allow for procedures as necessary. When the patient's stool becomes softly formed or solid, the device must be removed.
The Hollister Zassi™ Bowel Management System (BMS) also has a clear silicone catheter with a retention balloon on one end and a drainable collection device on the other end. The system is also intended to divert and collect fecal matter created by incontinence (Zassi Medical Evolutions, n.d.). However, the BMS also has an irrigation port that allows solutions to be instilled into the rectum. For this reason, a Stool Modification Plan™ using stool-modifying agents (such as Lactulose) and regular irrigation can be employed with the BMS to promote looser stools and allow the BMS to remain in place for fecal diversion and collection (up to 29 days). Therefore, the BMS can remain in place even when the patient's diarrhea begins to resolve, so long as the Stool Modification Plan is adhered to. The retention cuff of the BMS should be deflated and reinflated every 7 days. The BMS has a drainable collection bag with a capacity of 3,000 ml. It is recommended that the tubing be rinsed with water twice daily, using the flush/sample port, and that the bag be changed every 7–10 days to combat odor. Using odor-eliminating products in the bag is not recommended. A closed-end bag system is also available. In addition, the BMS comes in two catheter sizes; it is necessary for a qualified practitioner to assess the patient and recommend the correct catheter size before it is placed. Most patients require the 6-cm catheter, but patients with a short anal canal require the 4-cm catheter.
Both systems are effective at containing fecal incontinence. Thus, both systems can be effective at decreasing nosocomial infections by protecting both patients and caregivers from exposure to potential infected feces. Both systems can decrease the potential for nosocomial incontinence-related dermatitis. Both systems can decrease costs related to incontinence care products (i.e., briefs, pads, cleansers, barrier ointments) and caregiver time. Both systems can enhance patient comfort and dignity. Stool sampling, if necessary, can be achieved using both devices. The BMS has a stool sampling port; however, the FMS requires that the bag be disconnected from the catheter for sampling.
Although there is minimal risk of rectal mucosal necrosis associated with a properly inserted and maintained FMS or BMS, reports of both rectal bleeding and mucosal erosion have been associated with both systems, usually occurring because the retention balloon or cuff has been overinflated. Other possible adverse events include infection, obstruction, perforation, leakage of fecal contents, or loss of anal sphincter tone. Patient assessment and selection is of utmost importance, and using the device requires a physician order. Depending on your institution's policies and procedures, device insertion may be limited to gastrointestinal specialists; wound, ostomy, and continence nurses; advanced practice nurses; or physician assistants. Contraindications for insertion include patients with a recent history of anal or rectal surgery, a history of rectal bleeding, known allergies or sensitivities to components of the system (predominantly silicone), anal canal stricture or stenosis, fecal impaction, existing anal or rectal injury, and suspected or confirmed rectal mucosal impairment. Patients who are at risk for toxic megacolon, have a history of inflammatory bowel disorders, or have bleeding tendencies can use these systems if precautions are taken.
Patients who have either system in place should also be regularly assessed for signs and symptoms of bleeding, complaints of pain, or abdominal distention associated with the product's use. If any adverse symptoms are identified, the system should be immediately removed. Also, additional fluid should not be added to the retention balloon or cuff of either device without first withdrawing and verifying the amount of fluid in the balloon or cuff. The retention balloon or cuff should never be inflated more than is recommended by the manufacturer.
Additional care of the patient includes noting the date of device insertion (the date should be written on the device with permanent marker when inserted) and monitoring for correct device placement. If the device is expelled, in many cases it can be cleaned, the retention balloon deflated, and the system reinserted (up to the 29-day time limit). Some leakage is to be expected around the device, particularly with the FMS. Therefore, the perianal skin should be protected with either a skin sealant (e.g., Smith-Nephew Skin Prep, 3M Cavilon NoSting) or a nonpetrolatum-based barrier ointment. Regular perianal cleaning should be provided. The BMS comes with straps with which to secure the device. The patient's skin should be routinely assessed to verify the absence of pressure-related skin breakdown. The silicone catheter should also be routinely repositioned to decrease the potential for pressure-related skin damage.
Both systems are intended for temporary use only. For optimal outcomes, healthcare personnel should receive training on how to use these systems. Unless a management program with the BMS is desired, the device should be removed if the patient begins having formed stool. The device may not be used by mobile, nonbedridden patients. Patients with chronic fecal incontinence require additional assessment and alternative management methods.

Do something. Anything. Ann Hood found solace in knitting after her young daughter died. Jessica Goodell, who'd done mortuary duty in Iraq, eased her post-traumatic stress disorder by going to college. Eileen Berlin* treated her recovery from a disfiguring alligator attack like an athletic event and forced herself to begin running again. These pursuits renewed the women's "sense of agency and control," says Gonzales, and helped disable the brain's "rage pathway" by instead engaging its "seeking pathway." (Both can't fire at once.)
Become a rescuer instead of a victim. After Lisette Johnson's husband tried to kill her, then used the gun to commit suicide, she told herself, I've gotta be OK so my kids can be OK. "When she met, through her therapist, two girls whose father had shot up their family, she had more people to be OK for," says Gonzales. "Then she began speaking before groups of battered women and police groups. She essentially gave of herself. And that was her process for coming back into her life."
Stay connected socially. "Keep good people around you," Gonzales says. Hood's knitting did more than disable her rage pathway. Because she knitted with a group of other women, says Gonzales, she had "a place where she could safely talk about her grief and anxiety."
Shake up your hippocampus. We often enjoy the excited-but-uneasy feeling travel gives us as we navigate a new environment. Several years before she died, Kathleen Russell Rich, who struggled for nearly a quarter century with breast cancer, redrew her mental map by leaving the U.S. to study Hindi in a small town in India. "It was such a radical change, her brain was effectively absorbed by it," says Gonzales.
Use ritual to control the bad memories. "My mother, who's 91, goes to my father's grave on certain days of the year that are significant to her," Gonzales says. "She doesn't grieve 24 hours a day." Such rituals are a way of saying, "OK, I'm going to feel the pain on this day, but I don't have to feel the pain constantly. I can set this aside."
Fake it till you make it. "Act as if you're better," says Gonzales. Research has shown that "what you do with your body influences what you do with your mind." For several of the women in the book, even forcing a smile helped elevate their mood. Behaving as if you're resilient will help you feel that way.
Life is deep so shallow up, says Gonzales. "Laugh at the world. Laugh at yourself. Studies have shown that bereaved people who can recall humorous times with lost loved ones actually spend less time grieving. So the more you can laugh, the better you are going to do in the end."
* Not her real name.

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Volume 3, Part 2, Chapter 4 Summary
- Dessales finally takes matters into his own hands...and complains to Marya that Prince Bolkonsky isn't organizing everyone to leave. They write a letter to the Smolensk governor instead.
- Alpatych leaves for the city, west of the estate. On the way he sees lots of troops and wagons of people going the other way. Um, bad sign? Rats, sinking ship, ringing a bell?
- In the city his innkeeper tells him that everyone is running away from the French. Alpatych is mostly ignoring this and goes about his business.
- At the governor's there are crowds of people complaining about the fact that there aren't enough vehicles to get everyone out of the city.
- Alpatych gives the governor his papers, and the governor gives him a letter in return. The letter says that no way is anything going to happen to Smolensk, which basically means that the crap is about to hit the fan.
- Alpatych goes back to the inn, where the innkeeper is beating his wife for wanting to leave and a crowd is yelling at him for being a horrible monster.
- Alpatych pays up, ignoring the whole situation, and gets his stuff onto his sleigh. Suddenly there is a crazy noise...and a cannonball lands in the middle of the street. Napoleon has ordered his army to bombard Smolensk.
- More and more projectiles fly overhead, and all of a sudden the inn's cook has her leg blown off.
- There's shelling and cannon fire for six more hours. Finally, Russian soldiers stream into the town, all broken and clearly on the losing side.
- Alpatych is all, hey, maybe I should get out of here already, and gets the coachman. As he drives off he sees some Russian soldiers coming into the inn and taking away food.
- The innkeeper crazily tells them to take everything, then sets fire to the place rather than let the French get it. His wife and kids are waiting on a wagon.
- More and more fires are being set.
- As Alpatych drives along, suddenly he runs into...Andrei! Alpatych breaks down and starts to cry. Andrei ignores him and writes a quick note to his sister to leave for Moscow ASAP.
- Out of nowhere Berg rides up and starts yelling at Andrei for not doing anything about the people setting fires. (Remember Berg? He's married to Vera Rostov, Natasha's robotic sister.)
- Andrei ignores him and gives more instructions to Alpatych to make sure the Bolkonskys leave town.
People who Shmooped this also Shmooped...

The vote was one in favor and three opposed. The 2008 law allows the use of supplemental materials in science classrooms. Backers say the measure allows for freewheeling discussions and promotes critical thinking skills. Opponents say the law allows for the teaching of creationism, which is the view that life began about 6,000 years ago in a process described in the Bible's Book of Genesis. The lone "yes" vote was cast by state Sen. Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge. Opponents included Sens. Bodi White, R-Central, Mike Walsworth, R-West Monroe and Elbert Guillory, R-Opelousas.

More changes in the local vineyards
We told you before about some of the change happening in the local vineyards. There are more changes going on, only this time we're not talking about what's going on with the vines specifically.
If you look closely enough, you'll notice some of the vineyard fans have been removed and are being replaced with outhouses as teams of workers are now busily tending to the vines on a daily basis.
Here are a couple shots to illustrate what we're talking about:

As if there hasn't been enough discussion on television, radio, and the Internet about the benefits of service dogs to their human companions and how important these canine partners are to people with disabilities, the all too uninformed of Starbucks at Twelve Corners in Brighton, New York really need to wake up and "smell the coffee."
According to Amy Kaplan's brief video she recorded and played on her Facebook page Sunday afternoon, she and her service dog Zero were denied entry and service. In the video, Amy is heard asking the employee:
"Are you denying me service because of my service dog?"
The employee responds:
"No, I'm not. I'm telling you that you can't come in with your service dog... I see no proof that's a service dog. Service dogs are licensed."
According to rochesterhomepage.net, Kaplan, 24, suffered a traumatic brain injury two years ago as the result of a crash giving her memory lapses. Her service dog, Zero, has given Amy her "life back" she states.
"I felt humiliated because every customer in that store saw what was going on and I could see some of them were getting upset."
The Americans With Disabilities Act defines service animals as:
"dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets."
Employees can only ask two questions which include inquiring if the dog is a service animal needed because of a disability, and what tasks has the dog been trained to perform. The dog need not be wearing a vest, nor does the person have to show any special licenses or badges. It is against the law to question someone as to their disability.
Starbucks has apologized to Amy and of course to Zero.

How to make a complete operating system backup of windows without anything missing, to switch it to a different hard drive? A complete personal usable backup without using untrusted software, exactly like original.
Clonezilla should help you backup your entire windows partition, which is the recommended way of backing it up. As an alternative,you should also try out the Backup Tool inside Windows itself, as it offers far more finer control over the backup process(such as backing up user account and profiles)
The default ubuntu backup tool, DejaDup is an excellent tool for backing up folders, but it won't help with a complete Windows Backup. It might be useful if you want to backup your windows documents folder, for instance.

Holistic Consultations
Learn how to access and empower yourself so that you can transform your life. Experience Spiritual, Mental, Physical, and Emotional healing, growth, restoration, and rejuvenation, through the utilization of a myriad of integrative healing modalities.
"Healing and personal growth are different for everyone. We have layers upon layers of built-in beliefs, of values and traditions that have been passed down to us, and for some people, these beliefs and values have been forced upon them by parents, caregivers, schools, culture, religion and country. In addition to our indoctrinations, we also have to understand that we individually are hard-wired with behaviors and personalities. If we are to evolve and grow, we need to understand these behaviors and models we have lived by so that we can decide if they are our own truths, or if those inherited beliefs still resonate with us. Sometimes it is difficult to break free from inherited beliefs, especially when they have caused us so much pain, confusion, and made us doubt about who we are in the context of life. This confusion may create disaccord and disillusionment within our body, psyche, and emotional state to name a few. Therefore, it is important to keep all of the aforementioned into consideration when walking the path to spiritual evolution and personal development. Ultimately, the path is extremely rewarding"~Sandra Rojo

intestinal metabolism, CYP3A4, prediction, grapefruit juice
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is present not only in the liver but also in the small intestine, where it functions as a barrier against xenobiotics. Some CYP3A4 substrates exhibit low bioavailability due to intestinal first pass metabolism. The AUCs of such CYP3A4 substrates are remarkably changed by the inhibition, induction, and saturation of CYP3A4 and so prediction of intestinal first-pass metabolism is important. In this article, factors affecting intestinal first-pass metabolism of drugs are reviewed, focusing on the intestinal metabolism by CYP3A. The methods to predict intestinal first-pass metabolism are also reviewed.

Hurrah for excellent late(r) night live Jazz in LA! I'd been needing some live Jazz, so this came along at just the right time. My dear friend Patrice Quinn was singing at The World Stage in Leimert Park last night, with Jacques Lesure on guitar and Don Littleton on percussion. I went with a friend to see the second set, starting at 10:00pm. She was wonderful! I'd previously only heard Patrice sing privately (a mutual dear friend of ours hosts fantastic parties which often end in late night music with him on piano and Patrice or perhaps someone else singing – one of these days I hope to get my trumpet playing back on track and blow a few notes alongside) so it was great to be able to support her at a public event. Her companions on stage were excellent as well. The World Stage is a rare (and struggling) thing in LA – a small, intimate space that opens late, treats the music as the main event and not a dinner accompaniment, has more than one set, and recognizes that Jazz is not really at its best in big concert spaces… Why not visit there some time soon?

I was designing a project which specifies that in a table what column name should be and one of the column name in the specification is "group".
I tried creating it but it always throw a syntax error near the word =
"group". I am really curious since the keyword in SQL is "group by" not group, so what is the reason, I cannot rename or create a column with a name
Any learning curve on this would be really helpful.
{EDIT: Syntax and error I am using and getting}
ALTER TABLE test RENAME COLUMN sum TO group;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "group"

On May 20, 2014, The Lutheran Village at MILLER'S GRANT, a planned not-for-profit continuing care retirement community in Ellicott City, hosted Dr. Phyllis Famularo. Dr. Famularo, who has over 25 years in providing nutrition services for older adults, is a leading nutritionist in the Mid-Atlantic for SODEXO Senior Living, which provides dining services for senior healthcare and living providers.
Dr. Phyllis or Dr. Phil as she was affectionately introduced spoke on the benefits of healthy eating habits and the link between aging well.
Dr. Phyllis explained the health benefits of eating a variety of foods. Examples discussed were the important role colored fruits and vegetables. Each different color fruit and vegetable contains unique health components that are beneficial to our health.
Red Fruits and Vegetables
Contain nutrients such as lycopene and Quercetin. These nutrients reduce the risk of prostate cancer, lower blood pressure, reduce tumor growth and LDL cholesterol levels, scavenge harmful free-radicals, and support join tissue in arthritis cases.
Orange and Yellow fruits and vegetables
Contain beta-carotene, potassium and vitamin C. These nutrients reduce age-related macula degeneration and the risk of prostate cancer, lower LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, promote collagen formation and healthy joints.
Green vegetables and Fruit
Green vegetables contain fiber and calcium. The nutrients found in these vegetables reduce cancer risks, lower blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels.
Blue and purple fruits and vegetables
Similar to the previous nutrients, these nutrients support retinal health, lower LDL cholesterol, boost immune system activity, support healthy digestion and, improve calcium and other mineral.
White fruits and vegetables
Contain nutrients provide powerful immune boosting activity reducing the risk associated with cancers, and balance hormone levels.
The best advice….Eat a rainbow of colored fruits and vegetable and limit process foods to enhance optimal health.

A tree alone is not enough. We need more Christmas around the house. Our aunt has twelve crates full of holiday gear, after all, while we're working with a nutcracker or two. Well, we're grown-ups now, and it's high time we started building our own collection of paraphernalia. We'll start with this pretty little set of Avvento Candle Holders ($98). Made of Danish ceramic, this tiny spruce forest will complement our new supply of pine-scented mini-tapers perfectly.
Editor's note: Although these conifer candles are sold out (and apparently sold no where else), Gretel has some other holiday happiness you can bring home this season.

Any word on whether there is still a chance Canada stays at WI? Of course, I would only want the aggressive play caller Canada, not the restrained Canada.Hide replies
The most thought about question a Badger Alumn like me has had. It would be GREAT to keep him, and Partridge.
Finally the truth comes out regarding the early season poor play calling by the Badgers which caused their offense to sputter. Bielema can take his conservative predictable running plays to Arkansas along with his habit of wasting valuable time outs. Good riddance!Hide replies
As a season ticket holder and donor. I am glad Bielema is gone and Andersen is here now. Time will tell what this equates to but Bielema just rubbed me the wrong way.
If Canada does a good job play calling in the RB maybe he has a contingency in his contract at NCST to back out within 30 days of signing it. Then Andersen should look at Canada to keep a cohesiveness within the team heading into next year. They are loaded next year and have a good recruiting class coming in and have some good players waiting in the wings (Voltz, Biegel, Houston, etc.). I bet Canada is open to this as well but maybe Andersen is not sold on Canada.
That really was an incredible offensive display. I can't think of another game where the offense was that dominant running the ball. Didn't matter who they gave it to, they just ran all over NE.Hide replies
Watching a blowout runaway game is always exciting when your team is the one doing the drubbing.
Aggressive game plan? Canada got to used Melvin Gordon more in the motion action.
Couldn't stop him.Hide replies
Also used more multiple formations and pre-snap shifts and then often ran away from the stacked side of the field. Very creative.
He's bringing in his own OC. Canada is going to NC State.Hide replies
No, OC needs to be hired. Utah St. OC becoming head coach.
We should probably take these jilted "sources" at their word and continue to slander Bielema without independent confirmation.Hide replies
Cry me a river.
Make sure it drains into another disappointing season under BB.
Dear Shredit,
This confirms what I always though about BB. Over the last 3 years we played in many games that stayed close against teams that it should not have been. It is obvious to me and should be to you that Russel Wilson's talents were not completly utilized. BB always felt he could pound it at the end to win, and he was right a lot; but not against high quality teams. He seemed to get even more conservative in the bigger games hoping not to lose, instead of opening it up to win. Last year we lost to MSU, OSU and Oregon because of this. Same with the TCU game two years ago. I honestly feel that BB never felt he had the better team on the field in those games. He may have had the better team, especially last year.Hide replies
Actually if you listen to Barry it was his game plan that Bielema used so indirectly it was Barry Alvarez who held Russell Wilson back (Which is just ridiculous to even suggest). The defense is why we lost to MSU, OSU and Oregon.
Don't know if this is true or not. I do know that the Badger team with Russell Wilson as QB, there was absolutely no excuse under the sun for that team no to go undefeated in a very, very weak Big Ten. If BB couldn't go undefeated with a QB like that and offensive talent like that when would he ever be able to. That was BB's one chance at greatness, whether Bucky would have even gotten close to 'Bama or not BB could have said one of his teams played for the National Title. In three years he will probably be wishing he never left Wisconsin. No excuses are allowed in the SEC.
He lost twice on a Hail Mary. How the hell is that BB's fault? He's not the one on the field its the players jobs to make the play.
Coaches make the big bucks by getting players ready to make those plays. Both had blown assignments lead to the TD.
The MSU game was a fluke batted ball that landed in a MSU guys hands. It wasn't a busted a covered it was just a lucky bounce. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek3yw6zADls
The other Hail Mary was a result of Braxton Millers scrambling out of the pocket where Aaron Henry came up to defend the run and let the WR get past him. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwuXzK5Mehs
That's on Aaron Henry (My favorite Badger probably ever) It's a mental error and it's not the coaches fault. Believe me Aaron Henry was coached up enough to know what he should have done in that situation but he's just not as fast as he used to after blowing his ACL out. If you watched the two Rose Bowls he was getting burnt in those games and it wasn't because of the coaching. Has it ever occurred to anyone were just not as talented as the elite teams were playing in the bowl games? Barry Alvarez never faced anyone as highly ranked as TCU or Oregon in a bowl.
The 2011 team had more than enough offense to go to the national championship game but not the defense. We had the lead in all 3 losses and the defense gave it up. I personally think that had Watt stayed for his senior year,we would have made it. Plainly clear that late game defensive lapses cost us.
Exactly KC! Good to see someone gets it around here! We had a NC offense but didn't have the talent on D to match... That's not coaching its just a reality of not producing a ton of elite talent in this state. Other than Jack Ike I can't remember a Wisconsin born DB playing in the NFL.
*Meant to say Wisconsin born CB* I realize Jim Leonard is from Wisconsin.
Troll Fighter and of course KCBadger - 6 or 7 years of having terrible punt and kick off return teams which hurt the Badgers in both games certainly says nothing at all about BB as head coach does it. Losing to an OSU team which had a QB at the time whose ability to throw a forward pass was almost laughable was not his fault either. He is just the headcoach right? Yes the defense was bad, unfortunately the coaching made it worse. Of course BB was not to blame for that at all right Troll Fighter and KCBadger?
We know that BB was the bad man under your bed, golson, but while special teams were problems, the fact remains that we had the lead in all 3 losses in 2011 and a stops by our defense would have led to undefeated season. Just a fact.
Golson If you had a problem with BB's special teams you're gonna hate Gary Andersen LOL
Troll Fighter we will see. BB had 7 years to fix a special teams problem he never did, did he? Signs of a great coach, right? BB was given a winning program and never even matched the level the previous coach reached. The Big Ten has been terrible the last 4-6 years, just look at the bowl record. Didn't the Big Ten win 2 National Titles when Alvarez was coaching at UW? Didn't the Big Ten produce Brees and Brady when Alvarez was at UW? The excuse makers who kept up the "well at least we lost two Rose Bowls in a row" were hilarious. For millions of dollars a year the UW coach should be winning, not losing the Rose Bowl.
UWBadger you can't see the forest for the trees because you are such a blind BB fan. I gave BB four years and he didn't produce what he should have produced a winner. No going to the Rose Bowl and losing is NOT producing a winner. Maybe to you it is, but losing a bowl game, especially when you are outcoached is not a good thing? Why did he wait until the 4th qtr to run a 250 pd running back at a 280-290 pd defensive line to wear them out? Why was Wisconsin running outside when TCU's only defensive strength was their speed? Why where even the announcers saying this? They play Clay in the 4th and take up 7 or 8 minutes of the 4th for a TD drive. See I gave BB 4 years and he couldn't do it. He got the best QB since Vandy to ever play at UW and he still screwed everything up. His unbelievable screw up at Nebraska this year when O'Brien and Monte didn't know what play was called after a 5 minute break was inexcusable, but you KCBadger and folks like you just keep blindly following along with the "well we went to two Rose Bowls and lost" routine. In about 3 or 4 years BB will be back at UW begging for a chance to coach here again because of fans like you who don't care of Wisconsin wins for loses bowl games or screws up their chances at National Title shots. "Where are we going to find someone as good as BB", right KCBadger? Who will ever lead Bucky to two straight Rose Bowls and lose again? I gave BB 4 years. He had his chance. I just am not blind to what BB was, a screw up. You on the other hand are.
Paul Chryst was the play caller against TCU. Sounds like you have a problem with him.
And you must hate Bo Ryan. All he has done is beat a bunch of mediocre Big Ten teams at home and get humiliated in the post season like Bielema. Wisconsin should be winning National Championships every year blah blah blah.
Man, I just don't agree that they "poured it on"; they ran every play in the second half. If Nebraska couldn't (or wouldn't) stop it, what could the Badgers do? Just take a knee?
I guess they did "run the score up", though.
Bo Pelini has stated repeatedly that they Badgers ran no new plays at them during the Championship Game. The Badgers just executed much better than they did eight weeks earlier and the Huskers executed much better. The Huskers had a horrid run D and were exposed by a number of teams.
This sounds like some "close to the program" are lobbying to keep Canada and are willing to say anything to do it.Hide replies
What qualifies as a 'new play'? One never ran before, ever, or one never ran before this season? I saw a number of plays in the Big Ten Championship game that hadn't been run at all THIS season. The halfback option back to Phillips? Not run at all this season. The end around/sweep to Melvin Gordon? Hadn't seen that at all this season.

The Home Run Inn Pizza Restaurant in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood was the location where 13 children had to be taken to hospitals on Tuesday after a waitress served the kids alcohol by mistake. Ten of the children were hospitalized. Though it has not been reported as to which tests were administered to the children at the hospital to make an analysis of the situation, it is being claimed that no trace of alcohol has been found in the 13 children, according to a Chicago Tribune report on Wednesday.
The incident occurred at approximately 9:40 on Tuesday night. Authorities have asserted that there will be no formal investigation of the incident because it was an accident and because the waitress admitted to the error.
In a statement, Daniel Costello - the President of the Home Run Inn Restaurant Group which is based in suburban Woodridge – the firm is currently working with staff to conduct an internal investigation to discern the facts of what occurred. In other words, the restaurant's upper management is going to try to figure out how such a thing could happen.
The incident happened at a birthday party celebration. The children were supposed to have received a fruit punch drink. One of the parents, whose child stayed home from kindergarten on Wednesday because he still didn't feel well, said that she doesn't know what was in the cups the children were served – but she said it smelled like some sort of alcohol. The parent said she had been talking to the waitress before the incident occurred, and the waitress told her that she was new on the job.
The report states that it is unsure if any of the parents have filed police reports over the occurrence.

Back to XIII Abstract Summary
Experimental approach to the study of learned aggression
N. Kudryavtseva (Institute of Cytology and Genetics SDRAS, Novosibirsk, Russia)
The formation of the aggressive type of behavior in male mice following repeated victories in daily agonistic confrontations sets up promising conditions for studying the mechanisms of learned aggression. It has been shown that the repeated positive fighting experience changes many items of individual and social behavior in winners. Chronic experience of aggression changes brain monoaminergic activities (metabolism, receptors). Application of sensory contact technique for study on the behavioral, physiological and neurochemical mechanisms of learned aggression will be considered.(back to top)
Facilitating effects of corticosterone on brain mechanisms
involved in violent behavior: Single and repeated treatments
Jozsef Haller (Institute of Experimental Medicine, Budapest, Hungary)
Menno Kruk (Amsterdam Center for Drug Research, The Netherlands)
Results: (1) activation of the hypothalamic attack area by itself is sufficient to elicit high stress levels of corticosterone, even in the absence of an opponent; (2) similar increases of plasma corticosterone produce a rapid onset, short lasting facilitation of hypothalamic attacks in adrenalectomized rats; (3) corticosterone facilitates the initial expression of hypothalamically-elicited attack behaviour in naive rats. (4) repeated dissociation or association of acute corticosterone increases with attack induce long-lasting changes in hypothalamic attack.(back to top)
Serotonin and aggression in children
John Constantino (Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO)
Dennis Murphy (NIMH, Bethesda, MD)
Numerous studies have demonstrated associations between hostile-aggressive behavior and low CSF levels of the serotonin metabolite 5-HIAA. We conducted a prospective longitudinal study of 193 neurologically normal human newborns whose CSF 5-HIAA was obtained during the first three months of life. 5-HIAA was weakly inversely correlated with family history of antisocial personality disorder (r= -.12; p<.05) and was a very modest predictor of externalizing behavior at 2.5 years follow-up (r= -.16).(back to top)
Experimental investigation of the serotonin hypothesis
of aggressive behavior
Michael McCloskey, Mitchell Berman, Pamela Posey, and Virginia Crawford
(University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS)
Emil Coccaro (Medical College of Pennsylvania, Hahnemann University Medical School, Philadelphia, PA)
Data from the second year of a five-year NIMH-funded study designed to address the "serotonergic (5-HT) hypothesis" of aggression will be presented. 5-HT functioning will be manipulated using paroxetine. Aggressive behavior will then be observed under controlled laboratory conditions. It is expected that raising 5-HT levels will result in lower levels of aggressive behavior. If so, this would provide evidence for a causal link between 5-HT activity and human aggression .(back to top)

Asking price $200 but mainly want to pass along to someone who will wear it. Make me an offer.

Usually we're on the Bed, Bath, and Beyond website to shop for things like a new pizza stone, or a garlic press. But we just got word that they're selling a line of Kate Spade bedding. *glee!* She's got a few lovely looks and patterns that we just love, including the Heirloom Roses Bedding ($30-150). It definitely screams Kate with it's cheerful floral pattern and cheeky pillows (Hello Sunshine, indeed!). We kind of wish that some of the bedding came in a set (for now it's all being sold separately), but we'll just be content to purchase one at a time.

Senior midfielder Jenna Richmond (Centreville, Va./Centreville HS) of the UCLA women's soccer team was named the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week (Aug. 19-25).
Richmond scored two goals in each of UCLA's victories this weekend. Against Northeastern, she scored on a nice finish after receiving a cross from Taylor Smith in the 54th minute to round out UCLA's scoring in a 4-0 victory. In the 3-0 win over Cal State Northridge, she scored the game-winning goal just 2:15 into the contest, taking a clearance from a Matador defender outside the box and firing it into the upper right corner of the goal for her second goal in the short season. Richmond is tied for the team lead in goals (2) and points (4) thus far in 2013. She had zero goals a year ago but led the team in assists with seven.
This is Richmond's first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and second of her career.
