Viral hepatitis characterized by prolonged cholestasis has not been associated with a specific serologic marker. We report the cases of six patients presenting with a clinical syndrome typical of cholestatic hepatitis who were subsequently found to have acute hepatitis A. Usual features include pruritus, fever, diarrhea, and weight loss with serum bilirubin levels greater than 10 mg/dL, and a clinical course lasting at least 12 weeks. All patients recovered completely without sequelae. Knowledge of this unusual manifestation of hepatitis A may help avoid potentially invasive procedures involved in the evaluation of suspected obstructive jaundice and facilitate appropriate immunoprophylactic measures.

About Prolotherapy offers the following resources for those wanting to explore prolotherapy further...
Pubic Symphysis
Pain of the public symphysis area is often overlooked and blamed on abdominal muscles and adductor muscles which attach in this area with the diagnosis of abdominal muscle pull or adductor tendonitis.
Because muscles have an excellent blood supply, they heal extremely quickly and rarely cause pain that lasts more than a few days. A patient who continues to complain of groin pain area requires examination of the other structures. Many athletic trainers and orthopedists do not even consider this structure as a source of pain.
Osteitis pubis
If the area is examined, the diagnosis of osteitis pubis is commonly made, which means that the pubis is inflamed. Once this diagnosis is made, the RICE treatment, ice, anti-inflammatories, and anything else to decrease the inflammation is usually given. Because the body is trying to heal the pubic symphysis area by inflammation this is exactly the opposite of what is needed.
Osteitis pubis is felt to be an overuse injury associated with excessive kicking, running, gymnastics, or abdominal muscle contractions, for example, when an athlete does too many sit-ups. This is an erroneous notion. Inflammation of the pubis is a sign that the pubic symphysis area is trying to heal something. On bone scan there is evidence of increased circulation to the area and on x-ray there is often sclerosis or an overgrowth of bone. On "flamingo" views, the x-ray shows some instability in the area, and this is the explanation for the problem. Generally, inflammation in a joint is a sign that the joint is becoming unstable. The ligaments or capsule are no longer able to stabilize the joint so the area becomes inflamed to overgrow bone to stabilize it. The treatment is not to stop the inflammation, but to promote it. A better diagnosis in this case is not osteitis pubis, but pubic symphysis diathesis. This diagnosis indicates that the pubic symphysis area is loose. Unfortunately, milder degrees of this condition are not picked up even in "flamingo" x-ray views. One side of the pubic symphysis is generally higher than the other side on physical examination of people with this condition. The person also experiences exquisite tenderness in the pubic symphysis area.
The pubic symphysis joint may be stressed whenever the leg is pulled out from underneath a person, as can occur during a hit or a tackle. Falling, tripping, or slipping can also cause this. Swimmers who do the breast stroke often suffer chronic groin pain from a pubic symphysis injury. Prolotherapy for pubic symphysis diathesis entails injections into the fibro-osseous junction of the superior pubic symphysis ligament and injections into the pubic symphysis itself. Prolotherapy can be extremely effective in strengthening the pubic symphysis and relieving chronic groin pain in this area.
In documented published research, Prolotherapy showed marked improvement in rugby and soccer players. (1)

Originally released in 2009, The Graves is self-described as a "supernatural survival shocker." The self-description is accurate, as the movie mixes elements from the slasher genre with supernatural elements. The Graves is not a really bad film, but most horror fans will find it uninspired and derivative of many other genre films, making it rather tedious to sit through.
The movie centers on sisters Megan (Clare Grant) and Abby (Jillian Murray) Graves. With one of the sisters off to New York City to delve into the marketing world, the sisters decide to have one last crazy weekend together. They of course start off with a visit to their favorite comic store, where they plug some of writer, producer, and director Brian Pulido's books, and then it's off to some town in Arizona that supposedly boasts the world's largest thermometer.
But the sisters never make it to this town. Instead, they wind up at the Skull City Mine roadside attraction deep in the Arizona desert. Sadly, the place is run by a family of psychos who kill anyone who comes to their "museum." The stronger of the two, Megan takes charge and actually dispatches one of the psychos (big man Shane Stevens, who is a reluctant killer). However, another psycho soon appears, one Caleb "Cookie" Atwood (played to the hilt by genre vet Bill Moseley), and this one takes personal joy in tormenting the girls, and thus the bulk of the movie turns into one long chase, with both sides fighting for supremacy.
The final reel of the movie reveals that the psychos are not really psychos. It seems that one Reverend Abraham (Tony Todd, going for it all) has unleashed a vaporous demon that can possess the souls of the living. The demon takes personal joy in consuming the soul of someone at the point of death. To keep the demon at bay, Abraham and his followers force a family to murder strangers coming through town.
All the leads in this flick are genre vets, particularly Moseley, Todd, Amanda Wyss (who plays cultist Darlene), Grant, and Murray. Then there's writer, producer, and director Brian Pulido, a comic-book veteran who has produced fan favorites like "Lady Death," "Bedlam," "Cremator," "Jade," and "Evil Ernie." With such powerhouses in front and behind the camera, you would think that The Graves would be essential viewing.
The principal problem with The Graves is that it relies too much on previous films that were much better constructed and created. There are elements of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Devil's Rejects, as well as a host of other genre films. Although homage is okay, The Graves relies heavily on these movies to tell its story, almost making it a poor parody of such movies.
Hamstringing the film even more is a dreadful pace. The film bogs down with an uninspired chase that lasts forever. The supernatural elements are interesting, but these come a little too late. The happy ending doesn't help matters, and the acting his a little too over-the-top for fans to take the proceedings seriously.
The film is also a horror tease, with little overt gore. Yeah, there's some payoff, particularly during the end sequences, but overall the film constantly hints at ghastly events but restrains itself at key moments, pulling the camera away and having some moments left to the imagination. Although this type of filming can work (think of Texas Chainsaw Massacre), it does not work here, primarily because there is little buildup and plenty of letdown.
I can't really recommend The Graves, although fans of B-horror-type films will get some thrills out of it. Here's hoping that Brian Pulido learns from this experience and finds his own voice in the genre, as he is a very creative soul.

Note: Due to encoding difficulties, Arizona's performances on the balance beam are not available as a separate video clip. They are included in the full video.
Tucson, Ariz. ?- The No. 18 Arizona women's gymnastics team fell to No. 16 Oregon State 195.075-194.300 Friday night in front of 1,083 fans at McKale Center. Arizona gymnast's captured or shared the individual titles on all four events, but could not overcome three devastating falls in the second rotation on the uneven parallel bars.
The Wildcats came out hot on the vault in the first rotation, posting a season best team total of 49.125. The Wildcats were led individually by senior Monica Bisordi's 9.875 mark, which tied her with OSU's Therese Videan for the individual title. Fellow seniors Katie Johnson and Jamie Schell each posted 9.850 scores respectively. Freshman Karin Wurm set a new career best with a 9.800 score.
Arizona entered the second rotation with a 49.125-48.900 lead, but it would be the last time the Wildcats would control the meet. Two consecutive falls to start off the rotation and a third later would result in a season low score (47.575) for the Wildcats on the uneven parallel bars. The three low scores overshadowed meet best 9.800 performances by sophomore Aubrey Taylor and Schell. Bisordi also turned in a solid performance with a 9.775 score to place her third in the event.
The Wildcats bounced back in the third rotation with a season best 49.000 team score on the balance beam. Bisordi and freshman Danielle Hicks turned in back-to-back 9.875 performances to share the individual titles on the event. Hicks' mark set a new career high on the beam. Johnson (9.825), senior Stevie Fanning (9.725) and Taylor (9.700) all placed in the Top 10.
Trailing 146.175- 145.700 heading into the final rotation, any hopes of a comeback were put to rest after the Wildcats tallied two low scores to begin the floor exercise. The Wildcats were again led by Bisordi who claimed the individual title outright with a 9.900 mark. Johnson again turned in a solid floor performance finishing behind Bisordi with a 9.875 score. Taylor (9.850) tied her career best in the event and Wurm (9.825) set a career best as they finished third and fourth respectively in the event.
Schell, who made her second all-around appearance this season, finished with a total of 37.900. Bisordi, the only other gymnast to compete in the all-around, captured the all-around title with her total of 39.425. The score was a season best, and it marked the third consecutive week she has claimed an all-around title.
With the loss the Wildcats fall to 10-5 overall, and 3-2 in the Pac-10. The Beavers improved to 8-3 overall, and 3-2 in the Pac-10.
The Wildcats will be on the road next week to take on nationally ranked opponents UCLA and Georgia in Los Angeles.

Last week late night talker David Letterman announced that he will retire from his hosting duties on the Eye Network in 2015. The announcement comes a few weeks after his late night rival Jay Leno retired for the second time. Leno leap frogged ahead of Letterman in the early 90's to succeed outgoing host of "The Tonight Show;" Johnny Carson. Because of that Letterman left the NBC network for CBS where the late night rivalry started.
David Letterman spent 11 years as the host of the NBC show that followed "The Tonight Show". During that time the late night genre has changed dramatically. The audience for late night programming is getting younger as older viewers are either retiring to bed early or just not tuning in. The last week March "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" touted a victory in a key demographic beating the combined efforts of Jimmy Kimmel and David Letterman in the same time slot. However according to Deadline.com, Letterman's announcement drove more viewers to his program beating "The Tonight Show" in preliminary totals.
This is your grandfather's late night anymore
With Letterman leaving in 2015 CBS has an opportunity to capitalize on the increase in younger viewers. Appointing a new host preferably under 40 who could identify with younger audiences would be a strategic move for the network. While CBS ponders on who will replace Letterman, officials in New York and Los Angeles are sending notes to Les Moonves, Chariman and CEO of CBS lobbying on behalf of their city. The mayor of Los Angeles wants CBS to move Letterman's replacement to L.A.. The city of Angeles recently lost "The Tonight Show" which has been filmed in or around the city since 1972. Although when Letterman leaves, what wil become of the Ed Sullivan Theater? It's a historic landmark, surely some kind of show needs to occupy that building.

Johnny Carson
The late Johnny Carson hosted "The Tonight Show" from 1962-1972 in New York City and 1972-1992 in Burbank, California. Letterman was thought to be his successor, however Jay Leno was tapped as the next host.
David Letterman
After being passed over as host of "The Tonight Show," David Letterman packed up and headed to CBS where he became Jay Leno's rival in the Late Night Wars. Since 1993 David Letterman been siphoning late night viewers. CBS has yet to name a replacement when Letterman retires in 2015.
Jay Leno
Jay Leno started out as the substitute host of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" until he was appointed his successor. Leno hosted the show from 1992 until 2014, with a brief hiatus when he retired once before and was replaced by Conan O'Brien and after several months was brought back. Leno's most recent replacement is the current host of "The Tonight Show," Jimmy Fallon.
Jimmy Kimmel
Jimmy Kimmel has been in the late night talk game since 2003 with the launch of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on ABC. For more than a decade Kimmel's show followed the news program "Nightline". In 2013 the show's time slot moved to 11:35 putting it in direct competition with "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno".

I wish.....
All of these companies would quit worrying about how fast you can download a movie and add more towers. I would much rather have a good 4G signal everywhere that provides at least 5 - 10 Mbs. Why in the H#($ does anyone need that much speed??? I know its good they have capacity, but we need more coverage!
Why, because....
A Verizon LTE only phone would have no service half the time because their towers are spaced too far apart.
Re: This is the end
This is absurd. First Network Vision, then the whole "network modernization" project and now this? Wont relocating sites cause many service disruptions? didnt they learn any lessons from the rip and replace they went through a few years back? These guys are clueless on network engineering. They keep making all the wrong decisions and losing customers in the process. Still no VoLTE plans? I would hate to own stock in this company. ...
Re: HD calling
VoLTE is a whole new level of HD. The clarity is way better than Sprints 2G HD.
I am dying to use Android Pay!
I just cant find more than 2 places near me that accept it..... :-(
Come on verizon!
Verizon needs this more than any carrier! They space their cells so far apart that in many cases you get 3G or 1X inside (in norther georgia anyway). AT&T has a site on every corner here. I dont understand how Verizon wins so many network awards when i cant get LTE indoors in many areas.
Does anyone know what bands they are tying together? And what phones support those bands in carrier aggregation?
Re: Way to parry words Verizon.
Where does it say that t mobile can only bid up to 30mhz? The 30 is only reserved for smaller carriers, does not say it couldn't bid on more.
Re: And T-Mobile Will Offer...
CDMA was actually the best voice network ever commercially deployed. I will be sad to see it go after Verizon shuts down theirs as well. :(
Re: Why not prepaid?
I just realized that you can have hotspot and you can use a prepaid sim in any Verizon phone. Why not then?
Why not prepaid?
Does anyone know the downside of going prepaid? I know the phone selection is limited and no hotspot or roaming, but seems like Verizon would be cannibalizing its own postpaid subs. $45 for unlimited t/t and 2 GB data, that is a fair deal. Just curious if i am missing something about prepaid that makes it less appealing.
How is VoLTE doing?
Can anyone that has used VoLTE comment on the quality? Does it drop calls or cut in out? Does it sound much better?
Has anyone tested VoLTE on the iPhone 6? Im curious as when the LTE singnal degrades how is voice quality maintained? Also, if the other caller does not have VoLTE phone, can you still use data while on a call? In other words, do you still use VoLTE even if the other caller does not?
Re: VoLTE HD voice between carriers
has anybody been able to charge google play to vz bill?
I get server error every time. Called Verizon their clueless.
google play store carrier Billing not working
When i try to bill google play apps to Verizon bill it does not give me the option. If it does, it gives me an error can't connect to server. Any body else having this problem?
Re: Tower hand offs
This has nothing to do with calls. Only data speed. If you live in an area with good 4g lte coverage it will not happen very often. And if it does, 3g speeds are not that bad. I don't have that issue very often maybe once every other week. Its the same as going from at&t lte to wcdma without hspa+. When you say "hand off" you only will notice it if your in the middle of surfing the ...
Does anyone know if VoLTE has the same voice quality as Sprint's CDMA Advanced HD Voice standard?
Re: Uh uh.
Why don't you support one of the smaller guys by being their customer? I understand your stance on competition, so why do you use one of the big guys?
Re: It is actually Gainesville Georgia
Its been announced for Gainesville Florida already.like a month ago.
It is actually Gainesville Georgia
They just turned it on last week (LTE) but announced that it will be turned on in a few Weeks.
Re: Uh uh.
You should switch carriers from Verizon to Tmobile or metro PCs. You hate on them every chance you get.
Re: More...
Why do you hate Verizon so much?
Re: Is it really that easy to upgade to LTE+?
New channel cards and new phones that are lte advanced .capable.
Re: Inb4
What are you talking about?
And AT&T merger was any different?
Its not good for US meaning us (T-Mobile). Why didnt T- Mobile try to buy the spectrum? The AT&T-Mobile company would only have made ONE company better. Thats no different than Verizon trying to make itself better prepared for the future. Besides, the AWS spectrum Verizon has been sitting on is mainly on the East Coast. The new spectrum will allow them nationwide AWS covarage. That way they can acctually use it the same ...
Re: How does 800mhz LTE compare to 700mhz LTE?
It does affect speed when there's not enough capacity.
Re: How does 800mhz LTE compare to 700mhz LTE?
You wont notice any speed difference because of a frequency difference that small. The largest difference in speed is determined by how much of the 800/900 MHz Sprint will use for LTE. They need at least 10 MHz channels up and down to compete with VZW/AT&T, and a good backhaul link. Sprints 1900 MHz LTE will not be as quick because they are using 5X5 channels. Too little spectrum to keep up with the big ...
Why is the E.U. involved with this? I thought both companies were U.S. companies.
Re: i still only have 2g edge!
Northern Georgia. I have a Verizon phone as well and drop calls where ATT, Sprint and T-mobile have good service. All im saying is that the big wireless companies need to take care of the basics first.
i still only have 2g edge!
I wish Verizon and att and sprint would focus on getting great coverage and 3g (Verizon not included) before the invest billions in 4g advanced!
Bull Hockey!
I HATE junk phone calls from mortgage lenders and credit card companies! What a total dumbass wasting time of millions of people answering stupid phone calls. I hate this man.
Re: The Bottom Line
Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and all others should NEVER advertise unlimited data on wireless network if it cant handle it. They only do this because it sounds good to the consumer. Wireless networks cant handle this kind of load that some customers put on it. There should always be a cap. 5GB or so would be fair or maybe less. I dont blame network operators (Most of them) for not being able to support it, just dont say its unlimited ...
How in the !* can this merger creat jobs???
Can someone please tell me how this will create jobs when most of the service territory between the companies overlaps. There will be retail closures, billing and accounting excess, network operation and call center redundancies, not to mention management layoffs. I dont understand. I wonder how much money AT&T and T-Mobile are paying lobbyist/Congressmen to write bull#$@! letters to the president.
Re: Hmmm... good call? Bad call?
I dont know who is training you, but i wouldn't listen to anything else they tell you. That is complete b.s.
Re: More inaccurate reporting by Phonescoop
Can you not figure it out yourself Texas? You're being way too critical. Phonescoop is one of the best sites for mobile news. No B.S. on this site compared to some other ones. You suck.
Re: Dallas Area?
Maybe they need it because so many people in DFW have AT&T. Their network is probably close to full capacity.

College Hockey:Huskies Top Bobcats
St. Cloud Nets Power Play, Shorthanded, and Empty-Net Goal in Win
HAMDEN, CT — The No. 14 St. Cloud State Huskies special teams propelled them to a 3-1 victory over the No. 17 Quinnipiac Bobcats in the first ever matchup between the two schools Friday evening.
The Huskies scored a power play, shorthanded and empty net goal to send them to victory number 13 on the season.
We got all our shots on goal on the power play early in the game, said St. Cloud State head coach Bob Motzko. Quinnipiac battled hard and didnt give us much ice. Our goalie had to make a couple of saves and we were good defensively. I thought they [Quinnipiac] played extremely hard and physical taking a lot of space away from us.
St. Cloud is now 8-1-1 in their last 10 games, while Quinnipiac is 2-7-1.
The Bobcats went to the penalty box four times in the first 7:14 of the game, giving St. Cloud two 5-on-3 advantages.
St. Cloud State (12-7-3) had an opportunity to take an early lead when two Bobcats went to the penalty box for contact to the head roughing calls. The Huskies registered five shots on their first two man advantage, but Quinnipiac goaltender Dan Clarke preserved the scoreless tie.
I think we had to defend one five on three all season and then we had two in the first seven minutes and it was certainly disappointing, said Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold.
The Huskies converted on their second f-on-3 of the period, with Ryan Laschs tally at 8:53. Lasch ripped a shot off the cross bar to beat Clarke on a one timer pass from Taylor Johnson at the point for the 1-0 lead.
We just come out and play. I think its refreshing to play out of conference for both teams, said Motzko. They were physical and hammered down on us.
Quinnipiac (13-7-1) tied the score at one when Russell Goodman recorded his first collegiate goal at 3:38 of the second period. Eric Lampe went on a 1-on-3 odd man rush into the Huskies zone and took a shot on net. St. Cloud goaltender Dan Dunn made the save, but it popped out to Jean-Marc Beaudoin who corralled the puck on his stick. Goodman crashed the net as Beaudoin fired the rebound shot and it redirected off of his leg and into the goal.
St. Cloud retook the lead the lead on Garrett Raboins shorthanded goal midway through the second. Travis Novak carried the puck into the zone with speed and got tripped up as he moved to the net. Raboin picked up the loose puck and went on his backhand to beat Clarke at 11:59.
I didnt think we had a good first period, but had a strong second and really good in the third, said Pecknold. We had our chances; Dunn made some saves and they blocked some shots. We had our chances. They have goaltending and they finish their chances.
It was the third shorthanded goal given up by Quinnipiac in the previous three games. They gave up two shorthanded goals in a 4-1 loss to Rensselaer last Friday evening.
Tony Mosey added an empty-net goal for the Huskies with an assist to Lasch to seal the victory.
Clarke finished the contest with 24 saves while his counterpart Dunn compiled 21 saves in the game. Quinnipiac went o-for-4 on the power play while St. Cloud State finished 1-3.
The two teams will finish the two game set tomorrow night at 7 p.m.

So these Horse Needlepoint Loafers ($150) from By Page won't go with everything in our closets, but we're sure we could find something cute to wear with them. Perhaps a denim sundress and some vintage gold jewelry? We're sure we could find something. It's just too hard for us to pass up our new little horse friends. We, uh, may have already given them names,,,

What is Cuba really like? What would it be like to actually live as they live, eat as they eat, survive as they do, day in and day out? Photographer, Kat Silverglate, brings us to the island through pictures and stories and challenges us to think outside the political box and to focus on the people. The book is a tribute to many who continue to love across borders despite seemingly impossible odds, endless obstacles and an utter lack of freedom. The book challenges us all to do something which no political system can stop -- to pray for our brothers and sisters in Cuba.

Each year, British heavy metal legends Saxon honor a fine tradition of paying homage to England's patron Saint George by putting on a spectacular annual show on St. George's Day (April 23rd). The band's new live album, "St. George's Day Sacrifice – Live in Manchester", was recorded at last year's performance on that special day, specifically at The Ritz in Manchester, England during the band's "Sacrifice World Tour". The album, mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap and produced by Saxon vocalist Biff Byford, hits stores in the U.S. on April 29, 2014 via UDR Music.
This two CD set (also available in digital format) finds a blistering performance covering a collection of Saxon's finest work from 1979 up to 2013. A very special rendition of "Broken Heroes" goes straight to the heart and is dedicated to The British Armed Forces. This is Saxon at their best – a real treasure rejoicing every fan.
Saxon's most recent studio album, "Unplugged and Strung Up", debuted at #52 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, as well as #89 on the Top Rock chart in its first week of release! "Unplugged and Strung Up" is an amazing full-length release of fresh twists on classic tracks. Featuring staple Saxon stormers such as "Motorcycle Man", "Strong Arm of the Law" and "Dallas 1pm", it is a quintessential part of any collection. Recorded, mixed and mastered with Andy Sneap in Derbyshire, UK last year, Biff and co. re-evaluated, re-worked and re-energized the towering likes of "The Eagle Has Landed" and "Crusader" by introducing orchestral dynamics to offer added dimension. "Frozen Rainbow" from the band's 1979 debut, gets a stunning acoustic reprisal which transports it into a power ballad to be proud of, whilst "Red Star Falling" soars and sweeps the emotions with its orchestrally-arranged dovetail.
Saxon has always been one of metal's most impressive live acts and this new double CD showcases years of hard hewn performances spread over 21 tracks. "St. George's Day Sacrifice – Live in Manchester" tracklisting:
CD 1 – running time 61:05 minutes
01 Sacrifice
02 Wheels Of Terror
03 Power And The Glory
04 Made In Belfast
05 Rock'n Roll Gypsy
06 And The Bands Played On
07 I've Got To Rock (To Stay Alive)
08 Night Of The Wolf
09 Conquistador
10 Broken Heroes
11 Guardians of The Tomb
CD 2 – running time 59:08 minutes
01 Never Surrender
02 Ride Like The Wind
03 Crusader
04 Stand Up And Fight
05 Dallas I PM
06 747 (Strangers In The Night)
07 Wheels Of Steel
08 Strong Arm Of The Law
09 Denim And Leather
10 Princess of The Night

Macros and FAQ
Alessio Guglielmi <A.Guglielmi@...>
Hi, I cleaned up and extended my macros for formulae, derivations and now also atomic flows. They're available at <http://alessio.guglielmi.name/res/vl/>. They supersede the previous macros (DedStraker and earlier) but they're not compatible, because the cleaning up entailed some changes in their usage. If you want to see something fixed or implemented, please let me know. Prompted by a referee, I wrote the below FAQ entry (for the page <http://alessio.guglielmi.name/res/cos/faq.html>). Comments always welcome. BTW, I've had for a long time the intention to transfer the deep inference pages to a wiki, so that everybody can edit them and they don't look as personal as they look now. Tom has a prototype already, but, so far, I couldn't find the time to do the transfer. Hopefully, we will do it before the end of the year. In the meantime, please let me know if there are additions or corrections you want me to do. Ciao, -Alessio The good properties of the proofs in the calculus of structures are obtained by an extensive use of hidden equalities; are you cheating? No, we are not cheating.

St Patrick's Day can be tough for those pregnant; no Irish coffee with cream, no green beers and corned beef and cabbage, loaded with salt and carb heavy may sit heavy while you're sitting watching the festivities. Well, there's still plenty of time to bake your way into some festive St Patrick's Day dishes. Plus you can make some quick healthy changes so you can have your cake and eat it too.
Interestingly, classic Irish Soda bread lacks "Americanized" raisins; it's simply flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk. While crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside the aforementioned raisins add sweetness to this hearty bread, plus fiber and minerals good for pregnancy like magnesium and potassium. Throw in caraway seeds, even orange zest for a flavor combination you've never experienced.
When baking for St Patrick's Day throw out the old recipes and embrace some new ingredients. For example, when using vegetables oil feel free to substitute ½ cup of all natural apple sauce for ½ cup of needed oil. Vegetable oil has 120 calories per tablespoon or 1, 900 calories per 1 cup! Cutting out ½ cup of olive oil will save you 955 calories but NONE of the flavor or, most importantly, the moist cake-like texture.
Go easy on the chocolate or use bittersweet chocolate when topping baked goods. If you add ¼ cup of bittersweet chocolate pieces, sprinkled over the top of a simple vanilla cake, when still warm, it will melt and you can zig-zag the warmed chocolate to cover the whole cake. This can satisfy your chocolate craving without all the chocolate calories.
St Patrick's Day can be filled with delicious baked goods to eat and don't be afraid to add vegetables like zucchini, carrots or cauliflower, grated or shredded, the kids will never know and you'll add vegetables to baked goods they're dying to eat. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Israel rewards innovators with $18,000 prizes
As part of the 2012 Global Entrepreneurship Week (November 12-18) (
), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bestowed two Prime Minister's Prizes for Initiatives and Innovation and two honorable mentions at a ceremony at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
The November 13 award ceremony was one of 35,000 events in 125 countries participating in Global Entrepreneurship Week --the world's largest celebration of innovators and job creators.
The Prime Minister's Prize was created three years ago to encourage Israeli initiative, innovative thinking, imagination and creativity that could significantly impact global society, environment, science and technology.
In the for-profit category, the prize was awarded to Yoni Bloch, CEO and co-founder of Interlude Interactive Video Technology (
), a next-generation online video experience.
Home page of Interlude Interactive Video Technology
The prize for the non-profit went to Prof. Rivka Yahav (
) for her holistic early-intervention program for preschool classrooms.
Each comes with a 70,000 NIS ($18,000) award.
Prof. Oded Shoseyov (
) received an honorable mention for his work as founder and chief scientific officer of CollPlant, a company focused on regenerative medicine and tissue repair based on its proprietary processing technologies for human collagen.
An honorable mention for the non-profit sector went to Dovi Weiss, chief scientist of Time to Know (
), an interactive core curriculum and digital teaching platform for one-to-one computing classrooms. For the past five years, Time to Know has been used by Israeli teachers of fourth- and fifth-grade math and reading/language arts.
Bloch, an Israeli rock musician, started Interlude in 2009 to provide a unique flexible platform for clients to create personalized interactive videos. Users choose what they want to see and hear in the video while it is playing.
The Tel Aviv-based company has won some high-profile accounts. For Madewell, Interlude made a video that lets users choose among the fashion house's seasonal pieces to dress and accessorize a model. The Fox network used an Interlude video to promote its hit TV series "New Girl." Bank Leumi's Interlude video let viewers choose among humorous options for a hapless couple's romantic vacation, in order to introduce the bank's vacation loan program. The platform is also used for many music videos.
TechCrunch calls the product "very impressive." Mashable calls it "a genius way to get fans hip to a new artist." Research has shown that viewers spend much more time watching Interlude videos, with a much higher retention and engagement rate than for non-interactive videos. When they are done, users can save and share their unique version of the video across social media platforms.
Early intervention without stigma
Yahav, a senior lecturer at the School of Social Work at the University of Haifa and director of its Interdisciplinary Clinical Center, was cited for her system to identify and treat environmental and developmental problems in young children, including sensory-motor, language, emotional and behavioral difficulties, within the context of the regular kindergarten classroom.
The system has been successfully used since 2004 in kindergartens throughout Israel, and Yahav recently presented a lecture about it at a major conference in San Diego.
"It's important that this model be recognized in Israel and beyond," she says, pointing out that her program is holistic and non-disruptive. Therapeutic professionals come into the school to identify and evaluate children needing early intervention, and work with the classroom teacher to incorporate treatment in the context of the classroom on a daily basis. There is no stigma from being pulled out for evaluation or for therapy sessions.
"Not taking them out of the classroom is critical," Yahav says. "Until we did this, the professionals weren't in the kindergarten."
Yahav is a clinical social worker and psychotherapist who is head of the board of directors of the Israeli Psychotherapy Association. Among other programs she has introduced was an emotional therapy for Haifa's children during the Second Lebanon War; therapy for children of Ethiopian descent with emotional difficulties; an interdisciplinary program providing developmental supervision for at-risk children from before birth to kindergarten age; and therapy groups dealing with loss and bereavement.
The committee that selected this year's winners was chaired by National Economic Council head Prof. Eugene Kandel. Members included Tami Hauspeter, adviser to Netanyahu and initiator of the Prime Minister's Prize for Initiatives and Innovation; Intel Israel General Manager Maxine Fassberg; Ben-Gurion University Dept. of Business Administration Prof. Dafna Schwartz; Dr. Harry Yuklea from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology; Itamar Medical Co-Chairman Dr. Giora Yaron; and "Start-Up Nation" co-author Saul Singer.

My husband was rear ended today. I know LO's Maestro has to be replaced even though he wasn't with him. Do insurance companys typically make you replace with the same seat or just the same value? I'm asking because DS is really, really close to outgrow his seat in harness mode. Was wondering if I should just try to get him a dedicated booster. Do most insurance companys allow that?
Haven't heard from insurance yet because we are still waiting on the police report, but DH and I were talking about LO's carseat. He is not happy about putting him in a booster and is ready to buy him a Frontier. We will get the money from a tax return or something. YAY! I just didn't think he'd go for that at all, but this wreck really scared him. Don't you wish we could just put our LO's in a bubble? Just kidding.

Boulder Biking Survey
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
New Survey is out from the city as they are looking for input from cyclists these 4 questions
- What would make biking in Boulder more accessible, comfortable, and attractive?
- Do you feel unsafe biking in Boulder?
- What are the main things that prevent you from biking everyday?
- As a cyclist, are you comfortable....
Take the Survey
Beware, the survey tool is very annoying at asking for registration. Why was this survey tool selected?
News Item:

Weak Survey
Submitted by Shawn (not verified) on
The survey only gives single choices for each response. Where it asks "As a cyclist, are you comfortable" and then gives multiple "pick one" answers, all of which I think most of us would respond yes to e.g. riding in a bike lane or multi-use path, then gives a fill in the blank spot for "what bike facilities make you comfortable". Other questions are similarly imprecise. Will the city take this poorly collected "data" and use it to make policy decisions regarding bikes? If so that would be unfortunate.
Points: 23

When it comes to technology, the sex industry is no laggard, and as robotics become more human-like in their appearance and abilities, US-based company TrueCompany is poised to launch Roxxxy – the world's first "sex robot" that has many more capabilities than your average sex doll. Apart from having better defined physical features than previous dolls, Roxxxy has been programmed with her own personality and her manufacturers say she can listen, talk, carry on a conversation, feel your touch and respond to it, as well as move her private areas inside when she is being "utilized" to deliver an unforgettable erotic experience. There are even plans for a male version - Rocky the Robot.Read More
July 22, 2005 Artificial Life has released Version 2.0 of its flagship product: V-girl -- your virtual girlfriend which was introduced in V 1.0 last October and the new version of the evolving interactive game continues to meld reality with role-playing. The virtual girlfriend is described by company CEO Eberhard Schoeneburg as "a new mobile entertainment paradigm - an interactive mobile movie, an evolving mobile sit-com and an innovative mobile dating role play game all in one." A massive hit in Asian countries, V-girl blurs the line between fantasy and reality perhaps more than the previous version adding locked and secret scenes, real time based calendar events and several interactive role play games in addition to all the synthetic girlfriend routines the player watches and becomes involved in an ever-evolving daily and weekly schedule which includes your girlfriend visiting her virtual home, work or bar, and shopping with her virtual girlfriends. Messages sent to your V-girlfriend are responded to with text and voice messages. Read More
June 12, 2005 A couple of months back we wrote up the boyfriend arm pillow and it became one of Gizmag's all-time most-read stories (in excess of 250,000 page views at last count) because, well … people are weird. Now we have further irrefutable proof of that. The incredible success of the boyfriend arm pillow has spawned what the Japanese manufacturers are hoping will be the male equivalent – the girlfriend lap pillow. Unlike the boyfriend arm pillow which has a heartbeat and is soft and snugly, the girlfriend lap pillow comes with realistic-to-the-touch legs and a tight short polyester skirt in your choice of black or red.Read More

Speights, Ellington available for Cavs
Cleveland - Forward Marreese Speights and guard Wayne Ellington could make their Cleveland debuts Friday night against the Bucks.
The two players were acquired by the Cavaliers in a trade with Memphis on Tuesday. Speights will play a backup role at both power forward and center, according to Cavaliers coach Byron Scott.
When Scott was told that Speights had been a "Bucks-killer" over the years, the Cleveland coach joked, "That's good to know. I might change the starting lineup tonight."
But Scott said he decided the two players could play without a practice.
"If I feel I can put them in the game and they can help us, then I'm going to do so," Scott said. "So I told both of those guys to be ready instead of sitting there thinking they're not going to play.
"I wanted to let them know this morning to be ready because they both might play tonight."
Speights played twice against the Bucks earlier in the season. The 6-foot-10 forward had 18 points and nine rebounds in the Grizzlies' 108-90 victory in Milwaukee on Nov. 7, and he contributed 10 points and six rebounds in a 90-80 Memphis victory on Dec. 19 in Memphis.
"He's had some good games against us the last couple years when he was in Philly and down in Memphis," Bucks coach Jim Boylan said. "I'm not real pleased about having to see him again tonight.
"He's big. He can shoot the ball and he seems to shoot the ball well against us. He makes his open shots. He plays with a physical presence. He can put it on the floor and go somewhere. Sometimes you've got certain guys, for whatever reason, you struggle against. Hopefully that's not the case tonight."
Cleveland is coming off a 95-90 victory over Boston on Tuesday. Second-year point guard Kyrie Irving, named to the Eastern Conference all-star team on Thursday, scored 40 points against the Celtics.
Irving is sure to get a rousing ovation from the Quicken Loans Arena crowd when he is introduced.
"When we got him in practice we knew that we really had struck gold," Scott said. "Then we were really excited because we said, 'This kid is a lot better than we thought.'
"His talent speaks for itself and his work ethic. Now the challenge is to work harder this summer and be a starter instead of a reserve next year."
Boylan said Marquis Daniels (illness) was better and would be available. The Bucks inactives Friday are rookie guard Doron Lamb and veteran center Joel Przybilla.
The Bucks reach the halfway point of the season Friday, playing in Game 41. And they will seek to go a season-best five games over the .500 mark. They are playing the Cavaliers for the final time and hold a 2-1 edge in the season series.

What was old has been re-newed again. Although much of original Floral Park has been lost to modernization, some of its original features are still survive.
On Jericho Turnpike you can still see the exterior of two old theaters. The Lily Theater at number 212 is a small 600 seat theater built in the early days of film; it is very modest by today's standards. The upper section retains its original decoration. Today it is a tire store.
The Floral Theater at number 250 is a catering hall today, but at a glance you can tell that it was once an impressive film palace. The exterior has extensive architectural decoration and the name 'Floral' is still boldly chiseled on the façade. The interior is reworked on the lower level; however the main ballroom on the top floor retains its movie palace ceiling.
At 29 Tulip Avenue is the original 1929 Masonic Temple, now Centennial Hall. The Floral Park Museum, which is open by appointment for groups of six or more, is located on the second floor. In addition, on the same level as the museum is a former Masonic meeting room. The theater seats there are purported to be salvaged from the Roxy Theater in Manhattan, which was opened in 1927 and demolished in 1960 and was one of the most impressive and famous of the movie palaces ever built in the US. The seats appear to retain their original paint and fabric. On the side of each row of seats is a large, ornate letter 'R' embossed into the metal frame.

2009 Research Summary
Nanoelectronic Devices and Processes for CMOS Applications
View Current Project Information
Alexandra Ford, Johnny Ho, Yu-Lun Chueh and Ali Javey
Intel and MARCO/MSD
The goal of the nanoelectronic devices and processes project is to: (1) fabricate and characterize novel one-dimensional nanomaterials; (2) investigate the fundamental physical properties of the nanomaterials; and (3) design functional nanoelectronic devices by combining "bottom-up" nanomaterials and "top-down" CMOS.
The ability to control the size, structure, composition, and morphology of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) makes them ideal one-dimensional building blocks for potential applications in high performance nanoelectronics and large-area, flexible electronics. Uniquely, nanowires can be readily assembled on various substrates using low-temperature processing conditions, therefore, making them compatible with CMOS processing while avoiding the lattice mismatch and single-crystalline growth challenges often encountered for epitaxial, planar thin films. As a result, hybrid electronics consisting of "top-down" Si CMOS and "bottom-up" nanomaterials may be envisioned for enabling advanced functionalities. InAs nanowires have been actively explored as the channel material for high-performance transistors owing to their high electron mobility and ease of ohmic metal contact formation. However, the catalytic growth of non-epitaxial InAs nanowires has often relied on the use of Au colloids which is non-CMOS compatible.
Here, we demonstrate the successful synthesis of crystalline InAs nanowires with high yield and tunable diameters by using Ni nanoparticles as the catalyst material on amorphous SiO2 substrates (Figure 1). The nanowires show superb electrical properties with field-effect electron mobility ~6000 cm2/Vs and ION/IOFF >103 (Figure 2). The uniformity and purity of the grown InAs nanowires are further demonstrated by large-scale assembly of parallel arrays of nanowires on substrates via the contact printing process that enables high-performance "printable" transistors, capable of delivering 5-10 mA ON currents (~400 nanowires) (Figure 3). Additionally, we have developed a nanoscale electrode for the InAs NWs via Ni metallization of the NWs to minimize contact resistance.
Further investigations into surface passivation of the InAs NWs as well as improvements in high- integration need to be performed to optimize parallel-array device performance.
Figure 1: (a) Ni nanoparticles are shown to serve as an efficient catalyst for (b) high-yield growth of high-mobility InAs nanowires on amorphous SiO2 substrates. The grown nanowires can be readily printed as (c) parallel arrays on substrates and configured as high-performance transistors.
Figure 2: (a) Ids-Vgs for Vds=0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 V and (b) Mobility-Vgs (at Vds=0.1 V) for a representative single InAs NW FET. The channel length L=8.1 m and the NW diameter d=40 nm.
Figure 3: (a) Ids-Vgs for Vds=0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 V for a representative parallel-array InAs NW FET with W~200 µm (~400 NWs bridging source/drain) and L=3 µm. (b) Ids-Vds for various Vgs for the same device.

UMass Sweeps Charlotte In Final A10 Trip To Queen City
April 14, 2013
Game One Box Score | Game Two Box Score
CHARLOTTE - Tiffany Meeks and Katie Bettencourt combined for 11 runs batted in as Massachusetts swept a doubleheader at Charlotte, 12-0 in five innings and 4-2, at DL Phillips Complex Sunday.
UMass (12-17, 8-2 Atlantic 10) extended its winning streak to five games and hit .397 as a team on Sunday.
Caroline Raymond collected a pair of complete-game victories as she improved to 9-7 overall and 7-2 in conference play. She struck out six and held the 49ers to .205 hitting on nine hits.
Quianna Diaz Patterson went 5-for-6 on the day with four runs. Meeks and Bettencourt added five hits apiece while Bettencourt's five RBI in the first game were a career high.
Game One
UMass secured 2-0 lead when Bettencourt hit a 2-run home run to left in the third inning. It was her fourth of the season and 18th of her career.
The Minutewomen extended the lead to 8-0 with a six-run, four-hit outing in the next frame. They used four-consecutive singles and a double in the fifth to put the game out of reach.
The top four batters in the order got two hits in the game.
Game Two
All of the scoring in the second game came in the first inning. UMass came out and saw its first five batters reach base via four hits and a hit batter. Bettencourt's RBI double was followed two batters later with a two-run single by Meeks. Lindsey Webster's sacrifice fly to deep center brought Taylor Carbone home for a 4-0 lead.
Charlotte came right back in the bottom half and saw its opening five batters reach base. Natalie Capone, who led off with a single, scored on a wild pitch before Alex Rogers scored from third on a Chelsea Ingersoll single. But the Minutewomen got consecutive groundballs to third with force-outs at home on the base-loaded situations.
The defense continued strong play as it held the 49ers to just two hits over the final six innings. The Minutewomen also turned the second of their two double plays in the contest.
UMass will return home for a four-game homestand, beginning Tuesday evening against Connecticut. First pitch at Sortino Field is scheduled for 4 p.m.

"The Arsenal Trading Card Game, one of the newest and most popular competitive card games to hit the market. With an easy to understand rulebook and easy to read card text, the game quickly became a sensation among card game enthusiasts and new players young and old. And with the impending release of the new Arsenal Holo-Suit, the game was set to become more real than ever before, with convenient health and power level counters built into the machine and holographic projections of weapons, armor, and spells to create an intense battlefield situation with every game."
Ryan stopped reading the paragraphs on the webpage aloud as he finally reached the Store Locator. He had never played a card game or been to a local game shop, so he needed to find where one was. A few clicks and some typing later, he had an address, and he grabbed his wallet, keys, and jacket, running to the beat-up Camaro Super Sport his grandfather had given him on his seventeenth birthday. The car started on the third try, and soon was pulling out of the suburban driveway and onto the road into the city.
The four door Super Sport had just recently been repainted, the clean navy blue paint hiding many of the scratches in the old paint job almost perfectly. The car's interior had seen better days, but Ryan had been steadily cleaning it out with the help of his father, though anything under the hood he knew next to nothing about fixing. But the car was serviceable, and that was what mattered to Ryan. As long as it worked, it could get him where he wanted to go.
When he finally reached the game store he smiled at how there was no line outside the door, like he'd seen at more than a few game releases. He parked the car and walked up to the building, zipping up his jacket against the early spring air as a slight breeze ruffled his dark brown hair. Once he was inside he spotted the counter, rushing over.
"Little late today, aren't we?" The clerk asked, smiling as he looked Ryan over, "You're here for the Arsenal Holo-Suit, correct?" Ryan nodded, looking at the boxes on the wall.
"Well, we're all out of the standard suits, but we've got the deluxe models still." The owner said, picking up one of the boxes, "Comes with a special pre-constructed deck using the two new card sets, plus a few boosters to help you customize it." He set the box on the counter, and Ryan looked at the price.
"I didn't come all this way to not get the game." Ryan said, holding out the cash, "I was thinking of just buying packs, but if it comes with a deck and boosters then I'll take it." He had just enough after the tax, and the store owner smiled.
"Most of the players getting suits had their own decks and cards, so they didn't need the deluxe box. There's a rules insert and instructions for the suit inside." He said, handing the box over to Ryan. Ryan smiled, taking the box and nodding. Then he saw a girl walking in with a suit already on.
"Please tell me there are going to be more players coming in." She asked, putting her blond hair back behind her shoulders and adjusting one of the arm straps. She was wearing a black jacket over a navy blue tank top and black shorts, with black Converse sneakers, and with one look at Ryan holding the Deluxe box he could feel the disappointment mounting in her.
"You're a newbie aren't you?" She asked, looking him over. He wondered just how obvious it was, and he tried to look more experienced. She didn't buy it in the slightest, but since he was the only one there, she sighed again.
"Well, newbie or not, I need to test my deck. Want to play a quick game outside?" The girl held up her deck, and Ryan considered it for a few moments before nodding slowly. She smiled, grabbing him by the arm and dragging him outside, opening the box for him and handing him the suit.
"You won't need the instructions, I know how to get it on and off, and I'll help you." Within seconds she was putting the projectors on him, nearly knocking him to the ground in her rush. She was wicked fast, and Ryan wasn't given any time to protest it before suddenly the whole ordeal was over and he was wearing the full set of projectors. His forearm projectors and the screens on the inside for tracking his power level and health fit snuggly, his chest sensors and deck holder ready and waiting, and even the leg mounted projectors were a perfect fit.
"Wow… How'd you do that?" He asked, looking over at her. She smiled, pointing out the suit she was wearing.
"Timed myself in case I had to rush to a duel. Now come on, get your deck ready." She said, tossing him the box with the deck and boosters. Ryan quickly opened the main deck, figuring it would be enough to start out. She arched an eyebrow, but said nothing, as their suits linked up to prepare for the duel. Both of them shuffled their decks, cut the other's, and slid their decks into the slots on their chests.
"I'll go slow so you can understand me." She said, smiling as he drew his opening hand. She had the first turn as the challenger, so he would watch what she did to understand how the turns worked. The health counter set itself to one hundred, and the power level counter displayed a big red zero, which Ryan took a few seconds to look at each and to look at the cards in his hand to understand what he had to do. A small ding from the girl's suit snapped him back to attention, as the duel at last began.
"So, I'll show you a little bit of how it works, since you're a newbie and all. Each turn we get three actions, and we use those actions to draw cards and play them, and to attack each other. So for my first action, I'm going to draw a card." The girl did so, putting the card with the others in her hand, "And then I'll play an equipment card, Iron Lance." A large knights lance appeared on her arm as she put the card in a slot on her suit. She then picked up another card from her hand, holding it out for him.
"And now, I'll use the spell card Fireball to deal five damage to your health directly." She said, putting the card in her discard slot and firing a ball of flame at him. It was just a hologram but he could imagine the heat as a ball of pure fire slammed into him and exploded. He watched his health meter tick away five points, and he looked to her and waited.
"Now it's your turn." She said, as the sound of a small bell rang from Ryan's suit. He quickly looked at his hand, wondering what some of the cards did. There were yellow equipment cards, blue Magic cards, and some sort of Red card that had the word Reaction in its type block. He decided to draw a card first, looking through his hand again.
"I play the Equipment card Soulbound Saber." He said, slipping it into his equipment slot, smiling as the blade appeared in his hand. It was a gleaming silver blade, and it raised his Power Level by three. The girl looked confused, but she began to smile again, making him a little uneasy.
"And I'll also play Sword of Fire!" He put the card into the slot, but the hologram didn't materialize. He tried removing and putting the card back in, but nothing happened. The girl began to laugh, and he scowled.
"What's so funny?" Ryan demanded, wondering why his card wasn't working and why she was laughing at him. He couldn't believe he'd made a mistake already.
"Soulbound equipment removes any other equipment and prevents you from equipping anything but other Soulbound equipment." This strange girl replied, chuckling, "You really are a newbie, everyone knows those cards are useless." She smiled as her suit made a noise like his, indicating it was her turn. She drew a card for her first action, smiling as she looked it over.
"I cast the spell Minimize! It'll cut your Power Level by half, giving me the advantage." She said, putting the card into her discard slot. Ryan looked at her, wondering what would happen, before suddenly feeling very strange. He felt his stomach drop, and his body began to feel an immense pressure, squeezing on every part of his body until he shut his eyes as his joints began to ache. After several minutes, he could open his eyes again, looking around. Everything seemed to be changed somehow, larger and more detailed. He finally looked over towards his opponent, and suddenly realized the magnitude of the situation.
Standing before him was the girl, who had run over while his eyes were closed. But it wasn't how close she was that concerned him. What did concern him was the fact that she now looked twice as big as before. In fact, everything looked bigger now.
"What have I done?" She asked, horrified with what she was seeing.
Arsenal: Chapter One, Enter Ryan by CrossmalakiWatch

The first of my new writing series, Arsenal. Dunno where this will go just yet, trying to let my mind write what it feels would fit and then letting my editors figure out how bad things are and how to fix it. But in any case, I hope anyone who sees this enjoys it.
Will you continue your other story?
Friendship the Gathering has unfortunately been cancelled, mostly due to running out of ideas and lack of ability to focus on writing the story. I've had a lot of things come up lately, and any notes I had for the plot for Friendship the Gathering have been lost. I have decided to start anew with this piece in order to attempt something more original that I can dedicate more time and effort into crafting. I feel that since I'm having to create each character and the world setting as a whole, it will help me focus more on the piece since I'll have put more effort into its initial creation.
I'm sorry that Friendship the Gathering had to go out like this, but I can't bring myself to focus on it and I can't find any of my old notes to try and find a way to continue it. I bit off more than I could chew with writing the series, and hope to make this project simpler and more focused in order to create a better narrative.

Just one more thing: If you don't put some badass ninja who uses double daggers eventually, I'm gonna punch you in the face.
It's a card game friend, I don't think anyone's going to draw ACTUAL weapons...

Music is a bridge to learning, exploring, and creating in the classroom. Listening to the history of rock and roll and looking at its roots helps to paint a picture of how our country was shaped by such a diverse group of people with different backgrounds but with one thing in common: the desire to express and communicate through song. A quick look at Elvis Presley's first release, "That's All Right"/ "Blue Moon of Kentucky," reveals his influences (rhythm & blues/country & western), his surroundings (black and white America in the south), and his ability to bridge the two distinct styles, exposing it to a larger audience. Addressing and breaking down racial barriers through music is a powerful and often overlooked fact in pop culture. The Summer Teacher Institute at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum shows just how it evolved. From the blues to hip-hop and beyond, a week at STI gives you the foundation for sharing the history of rock and roll with your students and the tools to apply it effectively in the classroom across subjects and disciplines. Prior to teaching art, I was a live music and event promoter showcasing upcoming and veteran talent to new audiences. Whether it was their first gig or their 1000th, the audience's reaction, level of engagement, and participation was something that I always looked forward to seeing. It is this kind of excitement and participatory approach toward learning that I try to bring to my students through rock and roll-inspired projects. Attending STI (Class of 2008) validated what I had been doing in the classroom, but it also pushed me to find ways to incorporate my love for the history of rock and roll throughout the community. Think of when that song comes on the radio or shuffles on your iPod and how it instantly transports you to the time and place when you first heard it. Bring the impact that only music has to your students and electrify your classroom with a week in Cleveland you won't forget. You and your students will be better off for it.

Bennett in US for Media Blitz on Iran
Bayit Yehudi head will meet leaders in Congress, Jewish leaders, to press home Israel's position.
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 11/13/2013, 9:20 AM
Bayit Yehudi Chairman, Economics and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett, was scheduled to land in the US Wednesday morning for a visit that is mainly meant to shore up Israel's position regarding Iran's nuclear weapons program, ahead of the next session of the P5+1 talks with the Islamic Republic.
Jeremy Saltan, who was appointed Bennett's English-language social media manager this week, told Arutz Sheva that Bennett plans a "media blitz" consisting of interviews on mainstream US media, as well as numerous meetings with congressmen and Jewish leaders.
Saltan said that Bennett's trip to the US was coordinated with the government.
