Young people have told us that some of the best ways to cope with wanting to self-harm include:
Why not go to the self-harm section of the ChildLine message boards and see what coping tips other young people have used? You could even post about your own ways of coping.
It often helps to think about the emotion you're feeling when you want to self-harm. This can help you come up with a way of dealing with it.
Look at the different emotions below. Use these feelings to think about ways to cope with wanting to self-harm.
Try: talking to someone, writing down how you feel, chatting on our message boards to other young people experiencing self-harm, walking the dog, wrapping a blanket around yourself, meeting up with a friend, or doing some exercise.
Try: punching something like a pillow, doing some exercise, running, screwing up paper and throwing it, snapping twigs, squeezing clay, hitting a rolled up newspaper on a door frame, screaming, crying, or having a cold shower.
Read more about anger.
Try: listening to music, having a bath, burning incense, phoning a friend, writing, painting, or listing good things about yourself.
Get tips on building your self-esteem.
Try: organising something, cleaning or tidying, solving a puzzle, playing a ChildLine game, setting a target time (for example, saying you won't harm for 15 minutes, and then if you can last, try another 15 minutes).
Try: focusing on something like breathing, being around people who make you feel good, craft activities, making a photo collage, playing an instrument, baking, playing computer games.
Talk to other young people on the ChildLine message boards about hobbies.
Try: having a hot or cold shower, drawing on your body with red pen, massaging lotion into the places you would normally harm, squeezing ice cubes or biting on lemon for the "shock factor," or painting nails.
You can talk to a ChildLine counsellor any time you feel out of control or that you might self-harm.
Finding out that someone you care about is self-harming can leave you feeling worried, confused and a bit helpless. But many young people who self-harm get help by talking to someone. There are things you can do to help:
- Remember that it may have been really difficult for them to have told you about self-harming, so try not to judge them.
- Listen to how they feel—sometimes just being there for your friend may be what they need.
- Encourage them to get support with how they are feeling.
- Look after yourself and make sure that you get support as well.
Remember that ChildLine counsellors are here to listen whenever you or your friend needs to talk.
If some people are not helped to stop self-harming, there is a risk that their self-harm could go too far and cause serious damage or accidental death.
If you are feeling desperate or are thinking about suicide, ChildLine can help you. You can talk to a ChildLine counsellor about how you feel and we will always listen to you. We can help you to think about what you would like to change in your life so that things can get better, and support you in making those changes happen.
You can talk to a ChildLine counsellor by calling 0800 1111.

Did you know that there are people in the world who would rather die, play with snakes or have a spider crawl across the palm of their hand than to speak in public? Are you one of those people? If so, and you want to over come your fear of speaking and become an active part of the Long Beach speaking community, here are three steps you can take.
Prepare in advance
The root of public speaking fear is often a fear of feeling foolish when you forget what you wanted to say. The cure for that is to prepare and practice your presentation until you know it well.
Of course, learning your speech by rote can have disadvantages, as well. So, a better way to prepare would be to learn your topic so well that you can give the speech off the cuff if you need to. Then you can prepare an outline … a road-map, if you will … to guide you through the important points you want to cover.
Speak to one person in the audience at a time
Many people get nervous on stage because they think of all those people in the audience and are daunted by the task. However, when it comes to members of your audience, each one is experience a one-to-one communication (you to him or her). Therefore, if you change your mindset by thinking of your presentation as speaking to a series of individuals, it becomes a lot easier.
Select a single person in the room and talk to him or her for a moment. Then move on to another person in the audience. And then the next. And the next. Make your presentation a conversation with specific individuals within the audience.
Of course, you'll need to be mindful. You don't want to linger with any one person too long. That could make her or him feel uncomfortable … and could leave the rest of the room feeling left out.
Bring support with you to the platform
If the first to tips aren't enough for you, you can bring support material with you to help you through the speech. You can use index cards or a sheet of paper or even PowerPoint slides to help you remember the key points and their order.
Be careful, though. Keep in mind that using such supporting material in speaking is an art in and of itself. You don't want it to be too obvious that this is what you are doing, or your audience will be distracted from your message.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A Lexington man has been placed of five years of probation for helping his father cover up a triple homicide in 2011.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that 24-year-old William L. Blancet Jr., was sentenced Friday for tampering with evidence.
Blancet's father, William Lee "Willie" Blancet Sr., was convicted in January of killing 57-year-old Donald Adams Sr.; 33-year-old Donald Adams Jr. and 28-year-old Ronnie Sparks Jr.
Police said the slayings were drug-related and Blancet Sr. stole oxycodone pills from the home after killing the men in January 2011.
As part of his conditions for probation, the junior Blancet has to maintain a job, he cannot have contact with the victims' families and he must report to alcohol and drug treatment.

On Tuesday, May 20 former Buffalo Sabres forward Miroslav Satan officially announced his retirement from professional hockey at the age of 39, following the 2014 IIHF World Championships in which he represented Slovakia.
Satan played 1050 games in the NHL over the course of 14 seasons in the NHL from 1995 to 2010, also spending time with the Edmonton Oilers, New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Boston Bruins, as well as with the Buffalo Sabres. In those 1050 games, Satan had 363 goals and 372 assists for 735 points, while also recording 464 penalty minutes and a plus-20 rating.
After being acquired in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers in 1997, Satan spent over half of his career with the Buffalo Sabres, playing 578 games with the team over the course of eight seasons from 1997 to 2004. During his time in Buffalo, Satan tallied 224 goals and 232 assists for 456 total points. He also had 233 penalty minutes and was rated a plus-44 during his eight seasons with the Sabres. His 40 goals and 26 assists for 66 points during the 1998-1999 season helped lead the team to the 1999 Stanley Cup Final, where they lost to the Dallas Stars in six games. He also was named as an NHL All-Star twice during his time in Buffalo, in 2000 and 2003.
After leaving the Sabres after the 2004-2005 NHL lockout, Satan would go on to play three seasons with the New York Islanders before signing with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2008. Satan played one season with the Penguins, winning the 2009 Stanley Cup with the team.
Satan then finished his NHL career playing 38 games for the Boston Bruins during the 2009-2010 season, before rounding out his professional career in Europe with Slovan Bratislava and Dynamo Moscow.

Holston River - Middle Fork
The headwaters of the Middle Fork Holston River are located near the Smyth-Wythe County line in Southwest Virginia. The river flows approximately 56 miles through Smyth and Washington counties and connects with the South Fork Holston River to form South Holston Reservoir. The river has many different sport fish species for all types of anglers. In the upper sections of the river near the towns of Atkins and Marion there are two designated stocked trout areas. Near the town of Atkins there is a Class "B" stocked trout section that is stocked five times from October through May. The Class "A" stocked trout water in the town of Marion is stocked with trout eight times from October through May. The area is posted with signs designating the stocked portion and anglers are required to have a trout license in addition to a statewide freshwater fishing license in order to fish this stocked section between October 1st and June 15. Within the town limits of Marion is a universally accessible fishing pier.
Below the stocked section, fishing opportunities are limited because the river flows through private land with little to no public access. By regulation, the Middle Fork Holston River is classified as navigable from the confluence with the South Fork Holston River upstream to Route 11 at Seven Mile Ford. There is approximately 32 miles of navigable water in this section. With landowner permission, the river can be accessed and fished from the bank or can be easily floated in a canoe or float tube.

Martin Luther King weekend, January 2016Alison Deal's lovely creation from Sunday, August 23, 2015. She writes, "It was particularly pretty to me today! My great aunt's handmade tablecloth, candlesticks donated by the Thatchers, Sherwood's (Sherwood Cummins) inspiring sermon reminding us that actions say you are a Christian. We ran out of (welcome) loaves by two!"
It's beginning to be Spring, 2015!
The beautifully painted front doors, September 2014 (thanks Mary Grogan)
Alison Deal shares the mystical experience she had when creating our wonderful 'stained glass' windows. She writes:
I have written this story as it happened to me.
Approximately ten years ago Sausalito Presbyterian Church started having art shows in Thompson Hall. I was intrigued by the idea of having a show of my own. My fellow choir members encouraged me to sign up for a month so I hesitantly did. I had only recently begun practicing my art again. I had re-found the media of soft pastel and remembered learning pastels as a child. The moment I picked up a piece of pastel the creativity I had lost for many years while working as an Interior Designer exploded out of me onto the paper. I was thrilled to do my art again and had many photographs waiting to be drawn.
So I signed up for a show that would start on Easter Sunday. I had several months to prepare. I began to collect pieces for a cohesive show. One Sunday I was sitting in the back of the sanctuary during church, which was unusual for me since I usually sat with the choir in front, on the side. This week we weren't singing so I sat in the back in full view of our beautiful sanctuary. I noticed the curtains in the back of the altar and wondered what was behind them. I also noticed that there was a piece from the current artist showing downstairs on an easel in the altar area. I thought that was really nice and wondered if I could also put a piece of my art up in front during my show. After the service I went up and looked behind the curtains. What I saw through the diamond shaped mullions was San Francisco Bay and Angel Island. I thought it was a shame that the people sitting in the sanctuary couldn't see the view of "angel island." It seemed so appropriate.
I went home to my yacht in the harbor and threw my self into my work. In fact I threw myself into a fall and broke my left foot. For the next six weeks I was forced to strap on a walking cast and hobble around, which wasn't easy. I decided to keep the show focused mostly on my sunsets. I am not a morning person. Most of my skyscapes are evening pictures since I'm rarely awake to see the sunrise. I worked and worked to get the eight or more pieces done . . . read more

I would like to see some examples of how to compute Chern classes of blow-ups via the formula
$$c(Y')-f^{*}c(Y)=j_{*}(g^{*}c(X)\cdot \alpha)$$,
which appears on page 300 of Fulton's intersection theory. Here $Y'$ is the blowup of $Y$ along $X$, the f,g, and j are from the usual blow-up diagram and
where $d$ is the rank of the normal bundle $N$ of $X$ in $Y$ and $\zeta=c_{1}(\mathscr{O}(1))$. Thanks.

College Hockey:UNH Wins Wild One, 7-4, Over Maine
First Wildcats Win At Alfond Arena Since 2000
ORONO, Maine — Well, that's over.
On Saturday, behind the tenacious play of Brett Hemingway and Josh Ciocco, UNH (14-10-4, 10-6-3 Hockey East) garnered a dramatic 7-4 victory over Maine (18-10-0, 11-8-0) and bid farewell to an eight game winless streak at Alfond Arena.
For the Wildcats, the win marked not only the end of a three-game losing skid but also their first over Maine head coach Tim Whitehead at Alfond.
"We haven't won here since 2000 so that was huge," said Ciocco. "Coach was really fired up in the dressing room. It's been six years for him since he got a win here. We are just happy as a team."
In a game that saw it all from zamboni problems to a three-goal rally, UNH was able to regain sole possession of fourth place in the Hockey East standings.
"A lot of crazy things happen here," said Umile. "I am thinking after the first period that we played great and now we got a delay with the zamboni. I was like 'you got to be kidding me,' what else can go wrong we come up here. I said 'we might not even be able to finish this game. I was a wreck."
Despite the return of seven forwards, who were suspended the previous night, and holding a four-goal advantage with 18 minutes to go, the Wildcats didn't feel comfortable until the final two minutes when they slammed home two empty-net goals.
"That's Maine; they don't quit," said Umile. "They stayed with it and obviously it got a little nerve-racking there. But the fact of the matter is that the guys played a real solid game. We are real pleased with our effort."
Ciocco, who registered the eventual game winner, felt Friday night's 4-1 loss to Maine played a pivotal role in the victory.
"I think the players that were disciplined played hard tonight. I give credit to the guys that played last night, they set the pace."
"Ultimately the seven of us felt responsible for that loss," said Ciocco, also one of the lucky seven. "After the game you could tell by the way the coaches were acting toward us that they knew we were responsible for that loss. We had to win [Saturday]. There was no way about it. That was a championship game for us. We absolutely had to win that game."
And they did. Thanks in large part because of those seven guys, who accounted for five of the Wildcat goals.
"We knew we were going to be a better team after we got through this," said Umile. "After all is said and done and what we have been through, it played out just like you would want it to play out."
As for the Black Bears, this was not the ending they had envisioned.
"All good streaks come to an end," said Maine forward Keith Johnson. "They are a good hockey club. We got to give credit to them; they really took it to us the first two periods. We gave it a little run in the third but it wasn't enough."
UNH's seven goals marked the highest goal total for a visiting team at Alfond since 2001. As well, the loss will likely deliver a cruel blow to the Black Bears in the Pair Wise Rankings, where they are currently ranked 21st.
"We just didn't come out ready," said Moore. "Yeah, they had some guys that were fresh but I don't think that is an excuse for us to not come and play hard as we can on a weekend like this when it's on the line against our biggest rival; granted they played an amazing game all the way through."
For the Wildcats, the game-winner came at 2:22 of the third when Ciocco broke free of the Maine defense for a breakaway on freshmen Ben Bishop. With no one but Bishop to beat, Ciocco sent a laser to the top right corner. The goal, which was assisted by Mike Radja, another forward making his return to the lineup, gave UNH an almost insurmountable 5-1 advantage.
Maine, however, was not about to go quietly.
With 4:54 to go in the third, Maine center Jon Jankus jammed a home a tally after UNH netminder Jeff Pietrasiak failed to clear the puck.
"This whole game you were on the edge of your seat," said Ciocco. "We were up 5-1 and every guy on our bench knew that game wasn't over. When they scored that second goal there were eight minutes left and that was probably one of the longest eight minutes of my college career."
Eight minutes later, the Black Bears managed to pull within two when Greg Moore, scoring his 20th of the season, rifled a difficult shot from the goal line past Pietrasiak.
"That frigging kid Greg Moore; it seems like every time he was on the ice and touched the puck he was throwing it on net and stuff was happening," said Ciocco.
Now down two, Maine looked to senior Derek Damon for help. And they got it.
At 18:34 of the third, Damon raced in from the far blue line and rocketed a shot off the pads of Pietrasiak. With the puck bouncing free, Billy Ryan proceeded to slam it into the back of the net. The Black Bears had pulled to within one.
But UNH wasn't worried. Remember, they had Jacob Mcflikier.
At 18:54 with Bishop pulled and the Black Bears pressing, Mcflikier stole the puck from defenseman Bret Tyler. With nothing but the net in front of him, Mcflikier ripped the mesh from just above the hash marks.
"We just kept telling everyone that we weren't finished until the game's over," said Hemingway. "They started scoring some goals but I think we remain pretty calm even though the crowd was getting pretty crazy."
A minute later he wrapped up the game with another empty netter, this time from Hemingway and Chris Murray.
"To score four goals on team like UNH is almost unheard of but we almost did it," said Johnson. "It was just too little to late."
That lead Johnson spoke of came in the first in the second period when the Wildcats got goals from Trevor Smith, Greg Collins and Hemingway. The biggest, which came from Hemingway with three seconds to go in the period, arrived only a minute after the Black Bears had swung momentum back on their side with a Greg Moore goal.
"I just barely squeaked it in," said Hemingway. "It was just huge for us because they scored and we came right back. Whenever you score at the end of the period its deflating for the other team."
In net for the Wildcats, Pietrasiak finished with 25 saves, while Matt Lundin and Ben Bishop combined for 35 saves. Bishop, who had five of those saves, replaced Lundin at the start of the third.
UNH outshot Maine, 34-16, in the first two periods en route to hauling in their first series win against the Black Bears since 2000.
Both teams return to action next Friday with the Black Bears headed to Vermont and the Wildcats back to Durham for a date with Merrimack.

Stephanie Hathaway – United States
Check out Stephanie's video entry above.
Why Stephanie thinks she should be a Great Walker:
"Those who know me tell me that New Zealand is my place. It is my dream.
I quit my job and moved to Africa on Jan 1, 2012. I climbed mountains for a month with the Peaks Foundation. I lived as the only white girl, teaching primary school in a village in Uganda, visited Rwanda, and then moved on to Thailand. I had planned on touring Southeast Asia for four months (teaching and running along the way) before heading to Australia – and my mecca – New Zealand.
My diagnosis with breast cancer in Thailand brought me home from my 1-year world tour 8 months yearly – on April 14, 2012, less than a year after my first full Ironman and 3 days after my 34th birthday. I've been graced with excellent doctors, an amazing village, and a fiercely strong body. I'm ecstatic to say that as of last week, I am cancer free. I am so lucky; so happy.
I'm a spirited gal, not afraid of much, and willing to try anything. With a new lease, I am ready to run free, bounding, climbing, paddling, running, riding, or back-flipping my way through this planet. I have so much to see. So much to do. So much to learn.
I am a writer at heart (see the blog: www.seekinghigherskies.blogspot.com), an adventurer in spirit, and an athlete by sheer determination. I see this as an opportunity built for me to see my original plan through exactly as it should. Please – choose me."

Miami Dolphins: A season look by the numbers
Despite what many fans think, 0-3 isn't the only number that matters when it comes to the Miami Dolphins.
There are plenty of numbers that will provides a few clues why the Dolphins have lost the team's first three games.
Here's a look at a couple which I found interesting. Some good, some bad.
The Dolphins are averaging 4.5 yards per rush, which is a better average per carry than any previous season in the Sparano era.
Dolphins have converted just 10 of 39 third down opportunities in 3 games. That's a 25.6 success rate. It's one of the worst in the league.
Dolphins offense has been out gained 1,247 to 1,163 this season. So, as much as folks talk about the offense being exciting and aggressive, it's really status quo.
The Dolphins offense is averaging 5.7 yards per play. Opponents are averaging 6.3 yards per play. This primarily hints at how bad the defense has been.
The offense is averaging 129.7 rushing yards per game, and 4.5 yards per carry.
The Dolphins defense has allowed opponents to gain 104.7 rushing yards per game, and 4.1 yards per rush.
The Dolphins have been outscored 24-3 in the second quarter, and 24-13 in the fourth. Tony Sparano's team holds the edge in first and third quarter.
The Dolphins have allowed eight passing touchdowns this season. Every opponent has thrown at least two, and that includes Colt McCoy, who barely has a handful of NFL starts.
Chad Henne is competing 56.5 percent of his passes this season, and is averaging 7.8 per throw. That's his worst completion percentage, but largest yards per throw average.
The Dolphins defense is allowing opposing quarterbacks to average 8.3 yards per attempt.
The Dolphins have allowed 11 sacks in three games, and five of those sacks happened against the Browns.
Chad Henne's QB rating is 82.4, which would be a career high if the season finished after three games. That rating has Henne tied with Chicago's Jay Cutler for 19th in the NFL. He's one spot behind rookie quarterback Cam Newton, and nine spots behind Oakland's Jason Campbell.
The Dolphins have only managed four sacks this season, which clearly hints opposing quarterbacks have too much time to work.
The Dolphins have committed more penalties (21) than the season's three opponents (19).
Reggie Bush, the team's starting tailback, is averaging 2.9 yards per carry. He's caught two passes the past two games. That's one per contests.
Rookie tailback Daniel Thomas is averaging 4.9 yards per carry, and that's without producing a run longer than 14 yards.
Tight end Anthony Fasano has caught one pass the last two weeks, but his 18 yard per catch leads the team.
Brandon Fields is averaging a career high 53.3 yards per punt, and that features a 44.8 yard net average.
So, what do these numbers say to you?

According to Secretary of State John Kerry, the world needs to engage in punitive action against Russia because it has invaded the Ukraine. Let's be unmindful of the fact that the United States has military advisers and armed forces in 120 other countries simply as a matter of course.[1]
Rather than a conciliatory or peaceful stance, U.S. leaders are adopting a big-stick approach to nuclear powered Russia. With unqualified U.S. support NATO forces have moved towards the Western Ukraine border, and the U.S. and NATO plan to conduct military exercises in the Black Sea this June.[2]
The World Bank (and IMF) and Western nations appear to have a lot to gain by trying to weaken Russia: they want unfettered access to all countries with black gold. The fossil fuels of Iraq, Iran, Syria, and even Russia are beckoning the corporate syndicates to use national armed forces to secure state assets and resources once again.[3]
These kinds of pushy attitudes and behavior would qualify as bullying if nations were people (which they are since the Citizens United ruling that corporations are people). In today's hypocritical society, it is fine to be a bully if you come from the right family or political party.[4]
More than once, Russia has opted to intervene in the path towards world peace. This year's Nobel Prize, free of Western prejudice, ought to be rewarded to President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov for peace talks on Syria, and for the about face with regard to Western sanctions.[5]
But how can anyone continue to promote peace under threat of constant bullying and harassment? If the U.S. were a person (and it is), we are simply asking for it. Personally, I wouldn't want that kind of punch on the face; except, here, it could be a gigantic punch on the face of Earth.
Obviously, the U.S. and Western allies believe that this kind of rhetoric (rhetoric means to persuade and inform, not lies and intimidation) of tough talk and promotion of armed aggression works.
But actually it doesn't work as evidenced by the success of associated austerity measures in undermining the middle class and promoting unrest.
War is not effective, and it is definitely not kind to the Earth. In fact, in observation of Earth Day, I will cite some interesting rhetoric including from "War is a Lie" by activist-author David Swanson, whose book is filled with effectively presented arguments on why war is also the wrong kind of green:
- War's Effects in Foreign Countries are Not Humanitarian:
Regarding the U.S-backed rebel attacks and war in Syria, so far:
The war has claimed more than 100,000 lives in fighting since March 2011 and some 9 million have been displaced or forced to seek refuge in neighboring countries. [6]
Regarding the wars in Iraq:
Two intense wars and many years of bombing and deprivation later, the evil ruler of Iraq was gone, but we'd spent trillions of dollars; a million Iraqis were dead; four million were displaced and desperate and abandoned; violence was everywhere; sex trafficking was on the rise; the basic infrastructure of electricity, water, sewage, and healthcare was in ruins (in part because of the U.S. intention to privatize Iraq's resources for profit); life expectancy had dropped; cancer rates in Fallujah surpassed those in Hiroshima.[7]
- War Promotes Morally Wasting Behaviors:
The mutilation of bodies, whatever drives it in each case, is a fairly common practice in war, although engaged in mostly by people who were not inclined to murderous violence prior to joining the military. [8]
- War Does Not Bring Security and Is Not Sustainable:
The damage of our wars in the global battlefield outlasts the memories of elderly survivors. We leave landscapes pock-marked with bomb craters, oil fields ablaze, seas poisoned, ground water ruined. We leave behind, and in the bodies of our own veterans, Agent Orange, depleted uranium, and all the other substances designed to kill people quickly but carrying the side-effect of killing people slowly.[9]
- War Wastes Taxpayer Public Monies
We routinely dump over half of our discretionary public spending into the military, and any additional trillions will be found or borrowed — no questions asked.[10]
- War-Talk Disrupts Our Spiritual Growth
We also have war on our minds...War is in our toys, our movies, our television shows. And it's a huge part of our economy and of our institutions of higher learning...The military funds and consults on Hollywood movies...and arranges to be honored before and during major sporting events...Through this infiltration of every corner of our country, war is made to appear normal, sane, safe, and sustainable.[11]
- War Promotes Nuclear Destruction
The environment as we know it will not survive nuclear war. It also may not survive "conventional" war, understood to mean the sorts of wars we now wage. Intense damage has already been done by wars and by the research, testing, and production done in preparation for wars.[12]
- War Decimates Natural Habitat and Resources:
Most of the migratory birds that used to pass through Afghanistan no longer do so. Its air and water have been poisoned with explosives and rocket propellants.[13]
- War Consumes Huge Amounts of Fossil Fuels:
The wars themselves, whether or not fought for oil, consume huge quantities of it. The world's top consumer of oil, in fact, is the U.S. military... The U.S. military burns through about 340,000 barrels of oil each day. If the Pentagon were a country, it would rank 38th in oil consumption.[14]
Consider also this point in fact:
The United States uses the most oil in the world--about 20 million barrels each day. That's 840 million gallons of oil every single day! [15]
- War Causes All Kinds of Pollution:
The U.S. Department of [War] is the world's worst polluter, belching, dumping, and spilling more pesticides, defoliants, solvents, petroleum, lead, mercury, and depleted uranium than the five biggest American chemical corporations combined.[16]
Consider also this point in fact:
About 6 million tons of petroleum end up in earth's waters every year.[17]
The list of subtractions from being able to counter global climate change, promote sustainable energy products, new green economies, and massive corruption-free stimulus investment for local levels awaits further discussion.

Reported January 2006
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (Ivanhoe Broadcast News) -- Ever tried breathing thru a tiny straw all day long? That's what it's like for many patients with lung disease -- every breath is a struggle. Now, patients can breathe a sigh of relief with a new technique that is helping them breath easier.
Chronic lung disease makes breathing difficult for 88-year-old Doris West. But now, a new harmonica class is helping tune up weakened lungs. Learning a few catchy tunes isn't the only reason Doris looks forward to her harmonica class. "We have a lot of joking and fun while we are presumably benefiting our breathing," she says.
MeiLan Han, M.D., a pulmonologist at the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor, Mich., says, "In order to play a song you have to be able to take a deep breath in and blow out against resistance, which can help to strengthen the respiratory muscles."
Pulmonologists call it bodybuilding for the lungs -- the class doesn't focus on rhythm and tone, just on improved breathing. "When the patient takes a deep breath in and out while playing the harmonica, it slows down their breathing and helps them to relax," Dr. Han says.
The trick to harmonica playing is pushing air from the lungs into the instrument and then sucking air back into the lungs. This repeated pattern helps patients learn to control and boost their breathing.
Dr. Han says, "I'm hopeful that the harmonica class has at least improved their quality of life, made them happier, and taught them some breathing techniques."
Doris is already breathing easier and back to daily bike-rides, but she still takes time to rehearse.
The harmonica classes are helpful for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which results from chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

A large, South American shrub, it has rough, lemon-scented leaves (some hang on over winter) which are traditionally used to flavour herbal teas and spice up potpourris. The tiny lavender to white flowers start opening at the end of summer. Since it's not quite hardy, coming from Chile and Argentina, you need to grow it in a sheltered, sunny position, for example at the foot of a sunny wall, where it also needs free-draining, poor soil. This is vital because if the roots are locked in cold, damp soil all winter it will die. Alternatively, dig up young plants in the autumn, put in a pot, and keep in a frost-free greenhouse for planting out the following spring. When they start getting too big for this, take cuttings and start again with a new plant.

I would like to sync several folders on my local Mac with a remote server via SFTP. As the existing umlauts appear to be problematic for my syncing software (Deltawalker), I am looking for a way ro rid the filenames of any problematic characters.
There are several programmes (I am currently trying PowerRenamer, but there are several to replace characters based on regular expressions but I can't seem to figure out what kind of RegExp I need to use. Replacing single occurrences are easy but having a list of transliterations (i.e. ä/ae,ü/ue,ß/ss,â/a, etc.) seems to be beyond my skills.
Is there anything that I could use as a RegExp? The software uses the RegexKit framework.
Thanks, Helge.

Manuel E. Vega, a Marine Corps veteran who served three combat tours in Iraq, says he faces possible eviction from his apartment if he does not remove two flags - one U.S. flag and one Marine Corps flag -- from his balcony. The Salem Run Apartment Homes in Fredericksburg, Va., initially warned Vega about the flags, then said they would be willing to work something out, but, Vega told Examiner.com Thursday, nothing has been done and the complex has not backed down.
Vega told Examiner he has been flying the flags since October, but apartment managers recently decided to take action.
A notice warning Vega of the flags was tacked to his front door, he said.
"Although we appreciate and commend your patriotism, as a reminder per your lease agreement, you cannot have anything attached to the railing or any part of the building," the warning letter, dated March 21, said.
The letter also says that only patio furniture, "flowers and/or holiday decorations" are the only things allowed on the balcony.
Vega said the letter came after a recent inspection by a regional manager with Grady Management, the company that oversees the complex.
"They told me if I do not comply they will send a legal letter asking me to comply and then a court ordered eviction notice," he said. "That's what could happen."
Apartment managers he spoke to were not mean or threatening, he added, but they told him they would follow orders from higher up.
Making matters worse, Vega said that other apartments have wind chimes and plants on their balconies. It is unknown if tenants in those apartments were similarly warned. Vega said managers were also uncertain if those apartments had received warnings.
The apartment complex refused to answer our inquiries and promised to direct us to upper management. So far, no one has returned our calls.
After we spoke to the apartment complex, Vega said he received what seemed to be promising news.
"I just called them and they told me that they are aware of my complaint and are working with corporate management to see if we can resolve the issue of the flags," he said Wednesday. "They told me to be patient."
But nothing has been done so far, Vega told Examiner Thursday.
Despite the possibility that he might be evicted, Vega said he will not back down.
"So," he added, "they told me to take the flags down per the lease agreement and I respectfully told them no. Independence Day is not only on Fourth of July. Memorial Day is everyday in remembrance of our fallen and Veterans Day as well for I will honor all troops past and present and I will never cease to."
"I will take no other alternative," he added. "The flags will stay where they are at."
Vega served over eight years in the Marine Corps and rose to the rank of Sergeant, having received a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, Presidential Unit Citation, Navy Unit Citation and a Good Conduct Medal.
Joe will discuss this issue with Vega next Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time, 7:30 p.m. Eastern, here.

I'm so excited to share the Laundry Room Makeover Reveal with you!!
If you could see me right now, you'd see me sitting here with an ear to ear grin.
Some of you may have been impatient with me as I shared my laundry room makeover in bits and pieces. It all started last summer and then finally a few weeks ago, I made up for lost time.
Have you ever wanted to makeover a room, but had no funds in your account?
Don't let that stop you. My zero budget forced me to get creative with what I had around my house and proved to me, once again, that I don't need to let the lack of money prevent me from making my home extraordinary.
My laundry room makeover was a fun creative challenge. And I know you are dying to see how it all has come together.
So, without further ado….
The Reveal!
Ahhh! This feels so much better than…..
Sometimes it is good to be reminded where it all started.
The photo doesn't tell all. When I first moved into the house, the bi-fold doors will still on the laundry closet. And though it probably isn't really clear to you in this picture, even here, in order to load and unload the washer I had to reach around the wall. It was super awkward. I'm grateful that the bi-fold doors came down….it helped a wee bit. But, when the contractors removed the washer and dryer to install new sewer piping for the basement it allowed us to be able to do a little bit of work.
Since we rent the house, we weren't able to do a large-scale renovation. But, my husband did enlarge the opening as much as he could which did two things. One :: allowed us to slide the appliances back in place without a shoehorn…and this is no joke. Two :: we were able to get into the space finally and clean it well and paint the walls which had only been primed, with several coats of paint. We had just a tiny window of time before the contractors would move everything back in place. So, one night in the midst of preparing for VBS, we stopped at Lowe's, choose a paint color in ten minutes, cleaned the space, and threw the first coat on the wall. The following night I painted again.
There was one more silver lining in this project. I was finally able to get the yucky washer out and enjoy using mine. And you know how good that felt. Having my own washer, and not being wedged up against the wall in order to load and unload the washer, was wonderful. It took the dread out of doing laundry. I guess so much so that the project came to a halt. Well maybe that and the fact that I had an incredible case of poison ivy on my arms and legs that took forever to heal.
The addition of pale yellow really worked to make the closet a bright spot. Especially as there is no wiring in the area, I couldn't even add a lamp or other hanging fixture for light and brightness. The color really serves to warm things up.
The swan border easily came down on the adjacent hall walls for painting. Yay! I didn't have much of the yellow paint left as I used it to paint a wall in the guest room last winter. So I added nearly a quart of white paint to what was left. Thankfully, it was just enough. The walls really are creamier than they look here and help transition to the other the nearby areas. Isn't it fun when things work out like that?
My laundry closet and adjacent hallway has now morphed into a real laundry room!
This view helps you to see the whole room. It's not a large space, but there's plenty of room for sorting laundry. And I have some natural daylight, too.
I'm not a fan of the floor….it's a little busy for me…but it didn't need to be replaced after the sewer project, so I live with it. Blue is better than some other possibilities, so we'll give thanks for that.
It's hard to see in the photo above, but I even decorated the windowsill with a few of my older blue Mason jars filled with clothespins.
There is a bit of a theme….if you can see it coming together. It's sort a cottage collected look with the added whimsy of clothespins as art, in jars, and on the "clothesline." With the black fabric skirt over the washer and dryer, and the chalkboard art, I'm pleased the way it all came together.
My Longaberger Laundry Hamper looks fabulous sitting against the wall there, and nicely complements the old wood frame on the chalkboard. Since it holds a lot of laundry, my space usually looks pretty good…until I spill the contents for sorting, that is. [wink]
There are shelves over the washer and dryer, but reaching up for was awkward and my gallon jug of white vinegar didn't fit on the bottom shelf, so instead of sitting the cleaners on the floor, I put them in my old copper boiler. I picked it up a long time ago at the Allegan Antiques Fair (MI). The bench upon which it sits I made.
To complete the vignette….I added some old washboards I inherited from my parents. A laundry room with a vintage throw-back couldn't be without these icons of the past.
My plan was for the laundry room to have a whimsical flair. I had a fun playing around with clothespins, creating the wall art on the left, and hanging vintage ladies' hankies from the clothesline strung down the wall.
The banner was created with leftover fabric from making the pleated skirt to hide the dryer vent and the washer shut-off valves. The pennants were the same pattern I used for this banner. Because the fabric was just a little lightweight, I fused some fabric left over from my studio table skirt to stiffen it a bit, and then hot glued the pennants directly to the jute. And then for fun, I clipped some vintage hankies I had to the line. You'll notice that I also created some fabric roses to hang at the ends of the clothesline and at the top of the chalkboard, to hide the nails and screws.
Over time I have collected Longaberger Baskets with red accent weaving. Most of these are Christmas edition baskets. Together, with the vintage Mason jars, they are the perfect complement to the colorful Mary Englebreit fabric hanging below the shelf.
This Laundry Room Makeover has somehow become a series.

Bulldozers, Bibles, and Very Sharp Knives: The Chinese Independent Documentary Scene
Author(s): Abe Markus Nornes
A report on the state of independent documentary filmmaking in China in 2009, covering in particular the Yunnan Multicultural Visual Festival (or Yunfest, as it is known) in Kunming and the China Documentary Film Festival in Songzhuang. A variety of factors have converged to make an anti-authoritarian documentary movement possible, but it may be ending as directors become professionalized.

Last Time Out:
Scouting Stanford: The Cardinal enter today's game with a 15-12 record (11-7 Pac-10) following Saturday's 75-54 loss to UCLA. As a team, Stanford shoots 42.2 percent from the field (604-of-1431), including 35.2 percent (131-of-372) from three-point range, while averaging 66.4 points per game. Opponents shoot at a 43.1 percent clip and are averaging 65.3 points per game. Three Stanford players average in double figures, led by Matt Haryasz's 16.6 ppg mark.
The Series: Today's game is the 71st meeting of the two schools with
Last Meeting: Arizona 76, Stanford 72, Feb. 19, 2005: Trailing by two points at halftime, Arizona responded with a 12-1 run in the first 3:36 of the second half to take control of the game and never surrendered the lead as the Cats snapped a four-game road losing streak. Ivan Radenovic and Hassan Adams each scored 23 points to lead UA. Radenovic was especially good in the second half, tallying 12 points, seven rebounds and three assists after the break.
Cats and Cardinal:
Speaking of Seeds: The Wildcats enter the Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament as the No. 4 seed. That is
All-Conference: Three
Developing Nicely: In helping
Shooting Woes: UA's starting guards struggled from the floor in Saturday's loss, as Hassan Adams (4-of-12) and Mustafa Shakur (3-of-10) combined to make only 7-of-22 field goal attempts (.318). The other five Wildcats to see action and attempt at least one field goal combined to hit 20-of-37 (.541) attempts from the floor.
Bucking a Trend:
20-Point Plateau: Marcus Williams notched his third 20-point game of the season Saturday vs.
Clamping Down: In its two games this week,
Back at It: Senior guard Chris Rodgers hit 4-of-6 field goal attempts Saturday en route to 11 points, which was his first double-figure effort since Jan. 14. The 11 points were nearly as many as he had scored in the four previous games (14) since he rejoined the team on Feb. 13. In the five games since his return, the 6-foot-4 Rodgers is averaging 5.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals, while shooting 33.3 percent (9-of-27) from the field.
That's More Like It: Mustafa Shakur collected 10 assists in Saturday's game against
Double-Doubles: Shakur also added 10 points against
Strong to the Finish: Junior forward Ivan Radenovic posted a strong finish to the regular season, as he averaged 13.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists, while shooting 50.6 percent (86-of-170) from the field in Pac-10 play. In those 18 games, he finished in double figures 15 times and grabbed five or more rebounds 13 times. He's been even better in his last 10 games, posting averages of 14.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game to go with a 57.3 (59-of-103) field goal percentage.
Almost There: A pair of Wildcats enter the Pac-10 Tournament close to helping the team reach a statistical milestone. Chris Rodgers and Kirk Walters are two and 11 points shy, respectively, of reaching the 200-point plateau for the season. If they are able to do so,
Always On the Run: Throughout the season,
29-1 run over 10:43 vs.
33-15 run over 10:26 vs.
18-0 run over 6:09 vs.
24-7 run over 9:53 at UCLA, Feb. 4 (UA 9-of-13 FG, 6-of-6 FT in run; UCLA 3-of-10 FG)

16-3 run over 5:47 at Stanford, Feb. 19 (Stanford 1-of-12 FG with 6 turnovers in run)
38-27 run over 13:52 at
Early Signees: Coach Olson and his staff signed three student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period. Chase Budinger (F, 6-7, 190) from
Up Next: Following today's game, Arizona will either advance to Friday's semifinal at 6:20 p.m. PST, which will be televised by Fox Sports Net, or return to Tucson and await Sunday's announcement of the NCAA Tournament participants.

Yes, you read that correctly: NASA is developing a landing craft that looks like a flying saucer that just may be the key to landing astronauts on Mars. Officially known as the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD), the craft is fully assembled and scheduled for its first test on June 3.
So, how can an inflatable flying saucer help land astronauts on Mars?
For NASA, the biggest challenge to landing on Mars is slowing the incoming craft to a safe speed before landing. How fast is an incoming lander traveling as it hits the Martian atmosphere? Try a blazing 12,000mph. How long does it have to slow down? Six minutes, which is not a lot of time considering that, at peak speed, the lander is traveling at about 200 miles a minute.
In the past, the Martian landers have used a two-step method, first by retro rockets and then by either inflatable air bags, which enclose the lander and allow it to bounce across the Martian surface to its final destination (1997's Sojourner and 2004's Spirit and Opportunity rovers) or by sky crane, which lowers the lander from a platform held aloft by retro rockets (2012's Curiosity).
Unfortunately, these methods are pretty much maxed out in terms of what they can do as many doubted that the sky crane on the 1-ton Curiosity woulds even work. Obviously, to land humans on Mars, one would need a vehicle much heavier than a ton, which is where the impetus for the LDSD came into play.
The idea for the mission: a combination of a 100-foot parachute and an inflatable ring around the base of the entry craft can combine to slow the incoming speed of a payload larger than the retro rockets and parachute of the previous landers.
As for the test itself, it will take place on June 3 at a height of about 34 miles, which is as close on Earth as one can get to simulating the thin martian atmosphere. NASA plans to offer a live web stream of the event, too.

College of Marin Trustees Appoints Al J. Harrison II as Interim-Superintendent/PresidentKentfield, CA— May 19, 2010 — College of Marin Board of Trustees announced last night at its regular monthly meeting that Vice President of College Operations Al J. Harrison II will serve as Interim-Superintendent/President following the departure of Frances L. White, Ph.D., who retires next month.
Mr. Harrison is looking forward to working with the Board of Trustees and the college community to ensure a smooth transition while the search for a permanent superintendent/president continues.
Mr. Harrison said: "I appreciate the confidence that the Board has expressed in me and it is truly an honor to be selected to serve in this way. I look forward to working with faculty, staff, and the trustees in continuing to move the college forward during this transition period."
Mr. Harrison says that there are three top priority issues facing the college at this time. "First and foremost are our institutional efforts to complete the accreditation self-study process and planning for the team visit in October. Our next challenge is to address a $1.2 million shortfall projected for next fiscal year and present a balanced budget to the board in August. The third major priority is to ensure that the facilities modernization program continues to stay on track."
Concerning the college's significant budgetary issues, Mr. Harrison hopes to minimize reductions that would negatively impact the classroom while maintaining the effectiveness of necessary programs and services to students.
Mr. Harrison is a veteran California community college administrator with over 34 years of experience managing finances at California community colleges. He served as Peralta Community College District interim chancellor from 1995 to 1999. Mr. Harrison is a certified public account, has a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Florida Atlantic University, a Master of Business Administration from St. Mary's College, and is in the process of completing a doctorate in business administration from Northcentral University. He is married to Gaye Lynette Harrison and they have three grown children.

The old town surrounding the cathedral has kept its town hall, Det Gamle Rådhus, dating from 1496, one of the oldest town halls in Denmark. In Skolegade you may see the house where Hans Tausen, Denmark's first reformer, spent the last years of his life. On the main square, Torvet, there is a small early-17C inn called Weis' Stue with a charming interior that has remained unchanged for three centuries.

I'm interested in the extent to which quantum physical effects are seen at a macroscopic level. I might get some of the physics wrong, but I think I'll get it close enough that I can ask the question:
Let's sat that we create a bonfire and let it burn until it burns out. As the smoke rises from the fire, turbulence takes over and the smoke particles and steam and hot air all mixed together. By the end of the night when the fire has burned out, the collection of molecules in the system are in some position/velocity X.
My question: Let's assume the multiverse interpretation of quantum physics. How many possible end state superpositions can there be in this situation? Ok, that's imprecise and incorrect because it would actually be an uncountable infinitude of possible end states. How about this: Given the end state that we observed, what percentage of the end state superposition would be "visually" indiscernable from the end state that we observed so that each molecule would be in nearly the same end state across that portion of the multiverse?
Or put another way: Do quantum effects sneak into everyday life fast enough that we can observe them? If we are effected by quantum physics at all, I imagine this is roughly a function of the timescale of the chaos effects.

Dear Deborrah:
I am a 37 year old male living in San Francisco. I moved to the States about three years ago from Berlin, where I grew up.
A couple of weeks ago I was hanging out at a bar and heard a young man at the bar ask my friend and I how he could ask a young woman out, without it being an official date. His stated reason for not wanting to ask her out on an official date was that he had gone to grade school with her, but hadn't seen her for years, then reconnected on Facebook and wanted to get to know her before he asked her out. I, and a few others explained to the ignorant young twenty-something that dating and face to face interactions is how you get to know people, not chatting on Facebook.
Just a few days ago I was talking to one of my thirty-something female friends on the phone. She told me that over the weekend she met a very intelligent and handsome man in a restaurant/bar and had what she considered to be a great conversation. At the end of that conversation the man who is also thirty-something asked for her name so that he could "friend" her on Facebook.
I told her to drop this guy and not give him a second thought. I went on to say there is one of two things going on with that situation.
#1 When a man is interested and wants to get to know you, he will ask for your number so that he has a definite way of contacting you. Or,
#2 He is interested, but at 30-something years old does not have the experience and intellect to know how to woo a woman and therefore is not worthy of your time.
So Deborrah, what's your opinion of what's going on with not just these situations, but relationships in general? Are we as humans looking for ways to disconnect as opposed to connect? Have we taught younger generations that actual human interactions are less valuable and therefore unnecessary?
Just Call me John
Dear "John":
This lack of social skills and a failure to interact responsibly and dynamically towards the opposite sex is one of the chief problems with our new generation of males. The guys in their teens to early 30s see things so differently. I too have noticed the confusion that these guys seem to have about women and how to get and keep a relationship going. They're so afraid of rejection and so lacking confidence.... they practically piss their pants when they even THINK of asking a woman out. They also frequently use feminism as an excuse not to take the bull by the horns and ask women out, pay for dates, buy her flowers, or even to open a door for a young lady.
I remember reading the results of a recently study published in USA Today about young people and dating. More than 2000 singles were polled and 69% admitted to being confused about whether they were "on a date" or "just hanging out."
Courtship has become casual, with texts, hookups and hangouts. For Millennials in particular, who view a "date" as too much of a commitment — both in time and emotional connection — the vagaries of dating can be especially confounding.
New data, provided exclusively to USA TODAY, bear out just how muddy the landscape can be. An online survey of 2,647 singles, ages 18-59, illustrates that level of ambiguity: 69% are at least somewhat confused about whether an outing with someone they're interested in is a date or not. Although 80% agree that a date is "a planned one-on-one hangout," almost one-quarter (24%) also think it is "a planned evening with a group of friends," and 22% agree that "if they ask me out, it's a date."
How sad is this? Why can't young men step up and make their intentions and interest (or lack thereof) clearly known? I mean, at some point young men and women both have to understand that the world you lived in while attending college is NOT THE REAL WORLD. There is more to being with a woman fellas than shagging her.
You cannot text women endlessly thinking that is foreplay. You cannot get an adult woman looking for a serious relationship to waste her time going out with you by suggesting that the two of you "hang out" like teenagers. She has no clue what that means for her time and energy.
As men on the rise, you need to know about wine not beer, and food besides pizza and burgers. Jeans cannot be worn everywhere, and skinny jeans should not be worn anywhere. There are other shoes in the world than sneakers, flip flops or boat shoes. Soap is your friend... women like soap smell. Her sitting there watching you play video games is not sexy or romantic.
I'm so happy to hear that you've been setting them straight. Great job!

The end of the year is a fitting time to step up correspondence with Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon Labiñino and Antonio Guerrero, in jail now for 13 years. Their cause is just: they are serving cruel sentences in U.S. federal prisons for defending the Cuban people from U.S. terrorism.
The prisoners appreciate the vigorous worldwide campaign on their behalf. Nevertheless, as their years in jail mount, they need reminders that they're not forgotten, that they are not alone, and that our support does not waver.
Here's how to address letters to the prisoners:
Gerardo Hernandez, No. 58739-004, U.S.P. Victorville, P.O. Box 5300, Adelanto, CA 92301

Rene Gonzalez recently left prison, because he finished his term. He is unable to receive letters because the location in Florida where he is serving probation is undisclosed.
Writing to the prisoners is often a two-way process. For instance, during December Antonio Guerrero provided reports and opinions for several correspondents. He writes from the Florence, Colorado prison, where he is held
In a year-end review, he notes that Rene Gonzalez has "freedom but he is in constant physical danger, it is a freedom without being able to have Olguita and his daughters next to him; it is a freedom without freedom. Gerardo Hernandez continues under the terrible conditions of a penitentiary, something I know very well. His strength remains high against the injustice of the double life sentence and despite not being able to receive visits from Adriana. For me, the recent visit of my two sons has been the most wonderful thing that has happened to me in these 13 years of imprisonment."
Referring to the recently concluded International Colloquium for the Five held in Holguin, Cuba, Antonio says, "It gave great strength to us to hear about the participation of friends from all over the world. The struggle for our cause is growing." He observes, however, we are "in the middle of a world that can not take it anymore and is dying of pain. It is a world that is asking us to run to help it in order to save humanity from so much selfishness, a world that is taking us, as Fidel affirmed, 'in a relentless pace towards a definite and total catastrophe.'"
In another letter, Antonio asks, "Where will all this craziness lead? How can the world deal with this ambition? Is it perhaps so difficult to realize that this market system of the rich countries is unsustainable? What will 2012 bring, apart from more 'smart missiles' and killings of innocents?" Antonio declares that, "an embrace of brotherhood is worth more than all the gold in the world."
Antonio sees "more instability in the normal prison operations. It was almost normal that in the month of December we would have a lockdown. On the least excuse they close the entire prison."
In another letter to his supporters, Antonio recalls an exchange with a "soul brother" named Manuel, who wrote, "Now we have CELAC, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean states. Many in the world are trembling before the fascist wave of imperialism, [but] in this very hour and place - the earth - we see great processes bringing about Our America."
Antonio agrees: "CELAC with many challenges ahead, represents hope for brotherhood, justice, and peace for all the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, and more, for all of humanity." In closing, he quotes the great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, the immortal poet of the Americas, "Peace for all those who live, peace for all the lands and the waters."
