MIAMI -- Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley will be forever linked. That's an inevitability for players who get chosen No. 1 and No. 2 in an NBA draft.
So on some level, it's fitting their first pro game -- one that won't have fans, won't count in standings and will likely be long forgotten in a few days -- will pit them against one another. Rose's Chicago Bulls face Beasley's Miami Heat on Monday, one of three games that will open the Orlando summer league's weeklong schedule.
For a meaningless matchup, there's an abundance of big-game hype.
And it almost seems like neither 19-year-old can truly understand why.
"I didn't even know we're playing Miami first," Rose said. "I'm not going to be checking him."
"If you want to make it a Mike Beasley and Derrick Rose show, go ahead," Beasley said. "But that's not how it's going to be."
Fair enough.
Rose, the No. 1 selection in last month's draft who led Memphis to the NCAA title game, will be running the Bulls offense from the point guard spot. Beasley, the No. 2 choice by Miami after averaging better than 26 points and 12 rebounds in his lone season at Kansas State, will be posting up against the likes of Chicago big men Joakim Noah and Tyrus Thomas.
They won't guard one other and, outside of a pregame handshake or some idle chitchat during stoppages of play, probably won't interact much at all.
"I don't feel that every time you mention Derrick Rose's name, you've got to mention mine, or vice versa," Beasley said. "If people want to, they can. But I've got my career to look after. He's got his."
Teams will play five games in five days at the summer league, which also features Indiana, Oklahoma City, New Jersey and Orlando, with each squad playing all the others once. Most of the players are either rookies or second-year pros, most of them simply fighting for jobs in the NBA this coming season.
Beasley and Rose don't have to worry on that front.
That doesn't mean they enter this week with no concerns, however.
Rose has spent the past few days battling tendinitis in his right knee, something that he dealt with at times during his lone season at Memphis. And Beasley missed some summer-league practices with the Heat after suffering a slightly cracked sternum during a defensive drill 45 minutes into the team's first workout.
He will play in Orlando wearing a specially built pad to protect his breastbone, a device that Heat trainer Jay Sabol cobbled together.
"I'm going to play until my chest caves in," Beasley said. "I feel it in everything I do, but I'm not going to be soft about it. I'm not going to baby it."
The Heat have been assured that there is no additional risk in putting Beasley on the floor this week. He'll feel some pain, and will certainly be tested by opponents who may try to put an extra shoulder or elbow into his chest because they know he's ailing, but Miami's medical staff believes there's no chance of the injury turning into a long-term area of concern.
"He's cleared. He's ready to go and he's eager," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We've consulted with the doctors and they say it's fine. So, he feels fine. We have a lot of protection out there. ... We feel very comfortable about it."
Spoelstra won't be coaching Miami's summer-league entry; that job goes to longtime Heat assistant Keith Askins.
Instead, Spoelstra's job will be evaluating the entire Heat roster from the bleachers, and he doesn't sound like someone who'll demand immediate dominance from Beasley, either.
"I think it's more important that he gets an understanding of what our system is," Spoelstra said. "He's going to be playing against NBA guys soon enough and that's a great opportunity on Monday to play against Chicago's front line. And they have experience. It'll be a great challenge for him. But this opportunity for us is to help him learn our system, get accustomed to how we do things."
Beasley said he just wants to play, whether it's against Rose or not.
"I'm pretty anxious. I haven't been real competitive since the [NCAA] tournament," Beasley said. "So it's going to be fun, man, to beat up on some other guys for a change."

Water Heater Making Loud Noises or Not Getting Enough Hot Water?
Is your hot water heater making loud popping or banging noises?
Are you getting less hot water than you used to?
If you answered yes to the above questions then it may be time to delime your water heater.
Most manufacturers now require you to perform routine maintenance on your hot water heater in order to keep it running at its peak and extend the life expectancy of the heater.
Why do I need to delime my water heater?
With the advent of high input and larger storage tanks in both commercial and residential heaters, deliming has become a necessity of modern maintenance. Lime (CaCO3), is the most notable factor when discussing water hardness. Lime is present in every water system to some degree across the entire United States. Since lime is inversely soluble [the more you heat, the more lime comes out], higher usage, excessive hardness, and increased heating surface can lead to a high incidence of "limed-up" heaters.

Sushi for Sissies
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 min
I adore sushi, but my BH refuses to even look at it, let alone eat it. I thought he was squeamish about the fish, but after I made some vegetarian sushi he still wouldn't go near it (yay, more for me). It turns out that the seaweed also gives him the heebie jeebies. Here's a recipe that even the sushi sissies will go for.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup cooked white rice, still hot
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (peferably rice vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 8 slices cucumbers, long and thin
- 8 slices carrots, long and thin
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce
- Add the vinegar and sugar to the rice, and mix well.
- The purpose in this is not just to mix the flavors into the rice, but also to cool the rice just a little bit.
- Soften each leaf of lettuce by dipping it into boiling water for just a few seconds, until it can be easily rolled.
- Remove the lettuce from the water with tongs (unless you have asbestos fingers), and place flat, internal side down, on a kitchen towel to drain.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of rice in the center of each leaf.
- Top with a cucumber strip and with a carrot strip.
- Fold the sides of the leaf over the rice, and then roll the ends up over the filling to form a tight and compact bundle.
- Continue with the other 7 lettuce leaves, making 8"sushi" bundles in all.
- Place in a single layer on a dish and chill until serving time.
- Allow at leave 15 minutes chilling time.
Most Helpful
What a great idea! These turned out very well. I can't always find the seaweed wraps so this is an easy alternative for me. I added cilantro, tofu, spinach, scallions and red pepper, and steamed the carrot and pepper just a little first. Before rolling I also added a sauce of wasabi and tamari mixed together. Thankyou so much! Now I can eat these anytime.
This recipe is brilliant. Most of my family hates the seaweed part so this will make them try it.

That was the theme of the day… In-N-Out! The waves were horrible down in San Clemente today so CWach and I made the call to rush it North and we ended up scoring at Rincon! After braving LA in the rain and our first (of two) missions to In-N-Out, we came through Ventura to find the wind howling offshore! After checking little Rincon we headed down to the Queen of the Coast and it was offshore, about 4ft, and only ten or so guys out! Christian and I could not get our suits on fast enough!!

Hi everyone,
This is my first post on WP forums, so I'm hoping I'll get a response or two... I'm using Contact Form 7 and it works great -- really a nice plugin.
Important Note: I am using the default styling of the plugin, and have made no changes.
I went to add some radio buttons to my form, but it seems to screw up the display. No matter what options I check or uncheck, I seem to get:
[ ] [ ] [ ] Option1 Option2 Option 3
As you can imagine, this is completely useless. :-)
I tried checkboxes and got the same result.
I went to the contact7 site and copied his example code and got the same result.
You can see my form at: http://www.magnoliadaily.com/contact-us/
Anyone seen this before?! I searched the forum and could not find anyone with a similar problem.
Hoping to find a solution today! Please give me some ideas.

The National Simulation Study explores the effectiveness of simulation and is expected to help determine to what degree simulation can effectively substitute for traditional clinical experience.
This studys breadth sets it apart from previous research in which simulation was used in only a few courses or a single course. Simulation is substituted for part of clinical experience in every core clinical course, said Jennifer Hayden, RN, MSN, project director for NSS and research associate at NCSBN. It is integrated throughout the curriculum.
Using simulation technology, students are presented with medical scenarios that allow them to make decisions and then see the results of those decisions. These students will be regularly assessed for their knowledge retention and clinical judgment.
Filling a need
A national survey conducted by NSS last year found that 87% of responding nursing schools use medium- or high-fidelity simulation. Fidelity refers to the degree a simulator replicates reality. In high-fidelity simulation, the patient-care scenario uses a full-body patient simulator that can be programmed to respond to affective and psychomotor changes, such as breathing chest action. Examples of high-fidelity manikins include SimMan, METIman, and Noelle with Newborn Hal. Medium-fidelity simulations use a full-body simulator with installed human qualities such as breath sounds, but without chest rise. An example of a medium-fidelity manikin is VitalSim.
Schools have been struggling to find clinical placements for students. You might have 15 or 16 schools of nursing in an area, so all are trying to find clinical placements for their students, said Pam Anthony, RN, MSN, virtual hospital coordinator at Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley in Kansas City, Mo., which is participating in NSS. You also need masters prepared nurses for oversight, and thats difficult with faculty shortages.
Clinical sites are drying up, according to Suzan Kardong-Edgren, RN, PhD, assistant professor in Washington State Universitys College of Nursing in Spokane, and a member of the NCSBN national study team. There are only a few places in the U.S. where students get to do much more than observe in pediatric areas because the margin of error is very slim. Hospitals dont want the liability.
Students are more welcome on med/surg units, but Kardong-Edgren said patient acuity and the number of students faculty are expected to supervise make it difficult to provide effective clinical experiences. You cant guarantee the kind of experience students will have in the hospital, Anthony said. Their patients might be discharged at noon or at a procedure all day.
In simulation, students can make decisions and make mistakes. Simulation takes what otherwise would be an observational experience and translates it into a safe environment where the student can play the role of the nurse in every way, said Henry Henao, ARNP, MSN, FNP-BC, director of the Simulation Teaching and Research Center and clinical assistant professor of nursing at Florida International University in Miami. With simulation, students can communicate with other providers and see the effect their decisions have on the patient.
One resource for faculty to learn how to best use simulation as a teaching tool is the National League of Nursings Simulation Innovation Resource Center, supported by Laerdal Medical. It has a variety of resources, said Mary Anne Rizzolo, RN, EdD, ANEF, FAAN, an NLN consultant who is working on the center. The main piece is a series of online courses for faculty on how to design, develop and integrate simulation into the curriculum.
Two additional resources are the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, which focuses on improving simulation and accredits programs, and the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning, which has developed standards of best practice.
Competition and commitment
The study application asked about the nursing programs commitment to the project. It takes a village at each school to be able to do the study well, said Hayden. That includes two teams: the study team, which manages the operational details, and the oversight team, which ensures the integrity of the study is being maintained. Study team leaders dedicate half their workload to the study, and other participating faculty dedicate anywhere from 14% to 90% of their time. NCSBN provides salary funding commensurate with the time used.
Once the schools were selected, faculty attended three education sessions before enrolling students, where they learned how to conduct simulation in a consistent way and how to use the evaluation tools. To further ensure consistency, each school chooses simulation scenarios from a list provided by NSCBN.
Schools held recruitment sessions to explain the study to the students, who then signed a consent form if they chose to participate, Henao said. We talked about the importance of the research and how their participation would help determine what nursing education looks like in the future, he said.
Not surprisingly, students wanted to know if participating would mean more work for them. We let them know that their requirement to do 90 hours of clinical in a course doesnt change, the only change is where they do some of that work, Henao said.
Anthony said students enrolled at Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley were shown examples of upper-class students performing simulation, and a PowerPoint presentation and video from NCSBN were also screened. We talked a lot about the ongoing evaluations and how valuable that would be for them, especially because they will get more feedback earlier in the program, Anthony said. And students dont have to pay the normal fee to cover the cost of standardized testing.
Testing, testing
Evaluations focus on clinical competency, nursing knowledge, and how well students learning needs are met in the clinical versus simulation environments. Instructors will use the Creighton Competency Evaluation Instrument throughout each course, and the NCSBN will provide safety data reports, with benchmarking against national results, every two weeks.
We cant allow the study to hinder a students performance, Hayden said. The instructors are the first line of defense against that and the oversight team is the second line of defense. Students who are not doing well will receive the assistance they normally would in a traditional program, she said.
At the end of each clinical course, students will complete standardized knowledge assessment tests from ATI, and surveys on how well they felt their learning needs were met. At the end of the first and second years of the study, evaluators will rate students using the Quint Leveled Clinical Competency Rubric, a more detailed report than the CCEI. Schools will use appraisers other than undergraduate instructors, such as graduate faculty or graduate students, to conduct the evaluations to prevent biased results.
The NCSBN study team is still working on how nurses will be evaluated after one year in practice.
Students can choose to exit the study at any time, so faculty and researchers need to identify potential problems early. Anthony said a website allows students to connect with students at other sites.
Results from the study likely will affect how often nursing programs use simulation. I feel Im getting the opportunity to be a part of major change in philosophy in nursing education, Anthony said.
We know a lot of people are waiting to hear what comes from it and we understand the potential scope of the studys influence on nursing education, Henao said. We take that very seriously and aim to do a good job.
Kardong-Edgren said simulation continues to evolve. Were looking at simulation as theater, she said. Many schools have hired cinematographers or those with theater and tech experience to run the scenarios, working collaboratively with those who have medical backgrounds. The instructor then runs the debriefing. Manikins with bells and whistles may be less important when simulation is seen as theater. It can be very effective without having to spend a lot of money, she said.
Other trends include using mobile vans that travel to schools and hospitals in rural areas to offer simulation training, and more interprofessionally run simulation centers. Simulation is not going away, Kardong-Edgren said. Its here to stay.

It's been about a decade since Mike Kettman last set a Guinness World Record for spinning basketballs in front of a television studio audience in London.
In a rather less noteworthy setting Thursday, Kettman set another one.
The 35-year-old Palm Coast resident told about 250 students at The Webster School about the first time he tried to spin a ball around his finger after seeing the Harlem Globetrotters on TV.
Over the years he practiced spinning while at the same time becoming fascinated by the Guinness World Records book, so he set two goals: playing for the Globetrotters or having his name in the book.
"I didn't get one, but I got the other," he told the students.
He set his first record when he was 14 by simultaneously spinning 10 balls on 10 different body parts.
In 1992, Kettman graduated from St. Joseph Academy, where he was on the basketball team, and his goal now is to become a police officer here.
His skill has allowed him to be a guest on the talk shows with Jay Leno and David Letterman, but that kind of celebrity status has died down over the past few years.
Now he likes going to schools like Webster, putting on a show for the kids while sending them a simple message: Nothing is impossible.
As they filed into the room, the third- through fifth-graders wouldn't mistake Kettman, standing right around 6 feet tall, for "Curly" Neal (if they'd ever heard of "Curly" Neal) and probably wouldn't believe he could spin 27 basketballs at one.
About 20 minutes later, he proved that notion wrong. The kids screamed out loud as he got closer to 28 balls, the record he set in 1999.
"Nineteen! Twenty!" they yelled, getting louder every time Kettman successfully transferred a ball from the tip of a Bic pen to a pin attached to his specially designed rack made of PVC pipe.
After the 27th, the balls went haywire, and Kettman's bid to tie the record was foiled. But that wasn't his main goal for the afternoon.
He wanted to set a new mark by spinning eight balls blindfolded.
After a few attempts, he did, and the room and he erupted. So long as Guinness verifies the record, it will be in the books.
Kettman later donated 10 of his personalized, rainbow-colored balls to the school. The students then filed out, giving him high fives.
A few minutes later, some other students who hadn't seen his performance trickled in with their teachers.
He helped each one spin a ball on his finger, except for one girl in a wheelchair who didn't have the strength to do so.
Instead, he held the spinning ball near her and told her "good job." Her face lit up with a smile.
As the kids walked back to their classrooms, Kettman sat back down.
"That's why I do it."

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
BGI-Shenzhen said today that through a subsidiary, it successfully completed its tender offer for all outstanding shares of Complete Genomics, setting the stage for completion of the six-month-old merger deal between the Chinese sequencing giant and the U.S. provider of sequencing technology and services.
BGI said approximately 31,403,880 shares representing about 88% of Complete Genomics' common stock had been validly tendered toward the offer when it expired at 11:59 p.m. last night. That's an increase of 1% or 688,255 shares since March 1, the last time BGI extended the tender offer.
BGI said its subsidiary Beta Acquisition will effect a "short-form" merger under Delaware law, transforming Complete Genomics into a wholly owned BGI subsidiary without a meeting of the California company's shareholders.
In a deal announced in September, BGI offered to buy Complete Genomics' outstanding stock for $3.15 per share cash. Complete Genomics shares will cease being traded on NASDAQ, where they closed yesterday at $3.14 per share. BGI extended its tender offer to buy Complete Genomics numerous times over the past six months, while Chinese and U.S. regulators reviewed the deal.
The final regulatory hurdle was surmounted on Tuesday, when BGI and Complete Genomics said they obtained approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the People's Republic of China for the acquisition.
BGI has promised it would keep Complete Genomics in the U.S., where the company is headquartered in Mountain View, CA. BGI operates a number of genome sequencing centers internationally, while Complete Genomics, established in 2005, offers whole human genome sequencing services based on its Complete Genomics Analysis (CGA™) Platform, which combines the firm's DNA nanoarrays and ligation-based read technology with informatics and data management software.

Oyster season suffers from spill's impact
Published: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 at 10:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 at 10:45 a.m.
GOLDEN MEADOW — Nick Collins, a fourth-generation oysterman with Collins Oyster Co., hauled up 20 sacks of dead, empty oyster shells and a single sack of live oysters Monday from his family's grounds in Caminada Bay near Grand Isle.
He was looking for signs of life on the dead reefs, signs that new oysters might be growing amid a season interrupted by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and devastated by Mississippi River freshwater diversions that were turned on full blast this spring in hopes of keeping crude out of wetlands.
"We were looking for the spats, the baby oysters," Collins said. "We had some, but I would go through 10 shells to find five when you should be getting 50 on one shell."
Freshwater killed much of the state's oyster grounds in Barataria Bay, where the Collins family harvests oysters, and prime beds east of the Mississippi River.
And with a long-delayed oyster season opening in all but the most-devastated oyster grounds in Louisiana Monday, locals say the harvest will be meager.
No oysters were killed directly by the BP oil, Wildlife and Fisheries Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina said. But they were killed by a combination of the summer's intense heat and an influx of freshwater from river diversions at Davis Pond and Caernarvon, ordered by the governor to be turned on full blast. Estimates are that half of the state's crop was wiped out.
With 1.6 million acres of oyster grounds in Louisiana, Pausina said that at most the state can only get "snapshots" of the damage and is creating a basic assessment for oystermen to use in the BP claims process.
The Louisiana oyster industry is a $300 million-per year business. Mike Voisin, owner of Motivatit Seafood in Houma and a member of the state's Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, said that while Louisiana's largest production areas are closed or producing little, supplies from other states may help support the market. But he said there may be some shortages of oysters and locals may see prices rise.
Public oyster grounds have been open in west Louisiana since October, and Monday, oyster grounds in Terrebonne Parish and other parts of the state that have minimal production will open, Voisin said. State grounds in Hackberry Bay (in southern Lafourche and Jefferson parishes near Grand Isle) and east of the Mississippi River, the state's prime public grounds, will remain closed indefinitely.
Biological data collected from those areas indicated oysters may be reproducing in these areas, and officials are delaying the harvest this year to protect the grounds for future harvest, Pausina said. Public grounds east of the Mississippi River contribute about 28 percent of all oyster harvested in Louisiana.
Continued sampling by the state Department of Health and Hospitals has found no contamination by oil, said Gordon LeBlanc, head of the agency's mollusk and shellfish program. Only two areas still have small closures due to oil concerns, areas 9 and 10 in Plaquemines Parish. LeBlanc said testing to possibly reopen these areas may begin soon.
Texas opened its oyster season Nov. 1, and Voisin said the Lone Star State should supply enough oysters to avoid a major shortage. National demand is not as high as usual due to oil-spill concerns, he said.
"We'll have a good Thanksgiving. You won't have to skip your oyster dressing," Voisin said. "Even with the depressed production, there should be enough oysters available."
Locals on the lookout for oysters should plan in advance to make sure they can get what they want, and be willing to pay more. But, he added, buying local seafood is the best way to support fishermen.
"We really need people to make sure they buy Louisiana seafood so we continue to have a market for the product," Voisin said.
Jan Sapia, whose Sapia's Seafood has sold oysters in Des Allemands for 25 years, said for smaller sellers, supplies have been tricky to pin down.
"We were going to get those oysters from Texas. One minute they tell you they're going to flood the market with them and the next they're saying the supply might only last for a few weeks," Sapia said. "You look at the map in Louisiana and everything is more or less open, but they're just saying there's no oysters."
Sapia hasn't worked since May, and she's talking with another local oyster dealer about possibly teaming up to make whatever sales they can.
She said she's filed a claim with BP, and the money has helped to pay her bills, "but I'd rather be running my own business, making the money I'm used to making."
Oysters typically take about two to three years to reach market size, said Collins, who with his family operates one of the largest surviving oyster businesses in Lafourche Parish. Hurricane Katrina wiped them out five years ago, but the oysters typically rebound robustly after a storm. Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008 hurt the harvest again. On April 20, oil began leaking into the Gulf from BP's Deepwater Horizon blowout.
"We were finally going to have a good year," he said in a voice tinged with regret.
It may take as long as five years for the family to get its oyster grounds back to full production, he said. But this fall, it will sit out the harvest altogether.

I use didTapOverlay method to get the touch event, but unfortunately that just gives the poly line as a whole. How can I find out what line segment was tapped so I know where to insert the new coordinate in the GMSMutablePath array?

Widely known in Canada from his Montreal Gazette column, and work with the Discovery Channel, Schwarcz (Let Them Eat Flax) is an entertaining guide through the tangle of conflicting research studies, advertising claims, special interest groups, age-old myths and popular opinion that make diet a cloudy subject. In short chapters he aims his microscope at such highly touted foods as tomatoes, acai berries, curry and soy; additives like nitrites, artificial sweeteners, vitamins and fluoride; contaminants including pesticides, hormones, trans fats and dioxins; and what, for him, are suspect fads. Schwarcz contends that while there are no "magical" foods, a diet of mostly vegetables, fruits, whole grains and low-fat dairy products and moderation are key to good health. To help readers make informed choices, he ably cuts through many controversies and will likely stir up a few (he challenges those who condemn milk consumption, espouse detoxification and promote kosher foods, for example). Schwarcz makes learning fun by peppering his text with fascinating facts (coffee contains naturally occurring carcinogens, and apples have formaldehyde). More importantly, he leaves readers with a rational framework for evaluating the complex nature of foods and how they affect health.

An Apple A Dayby Joe Schwarcz
View All Available Formats & Editions
Forget your dinner jacket and put on your lab coat: you have to be a nutritional scientist these days before you sit down to
Eat salmon. It's full of good omega-3 fats. Don't eat salmon. It's full of PCBs and mercury. Eat more veggies. They're full of good antioxidants. Don't eat more veggies. The pesticides will give you cancer.
Forget your dinner jacket and put on your lab coat: you have to be a nutritional scientist these days before you sit down to eat—which is why we need Dr. Joe Schwarcz, the expert in connecting chemistry to everyday life. In An Apple a Day, he's taken his thorough knowledge of food chemistry, applied it to today's top food fears, trends, and questions, and leavened it with his trademark lighthearted approach. The result is both an entertaining revelation of the miracles of science happening in our bodies every time we bite into a morsel of food, and a telling exploration of the myths, claims, and misconceptions surrounding our obsession with diets, nutrition, and weight.
Looking first at how food affects our health, Dr. Joe examines what's in tomatoes, soy, and broccoli that can keep us healthy and how the hundreds of compounds in a single food react when they hit our bodies. Then he investigates how we manipulate our food supply, delving into the science of food additives and what benefits we might realize from adding bacteria to certain foods. He clears up the confusion about contaminants, examining everything from pesticide residues, remnants of antibiotics, the dreaded trans fats, and chemicals that may leach from cookware. And he takes a studied look at the science of calories and weighs in on popular diets.
Editorial Reviews
Every day, consumers are bombarded with new food and nutrition information. Are genetically modified foods dangerous? (Maybe, maybe not.) Should we eat fish for the omega-3 fatty acids or avoid it because of the mercury? (Eat in moderation.) Will an apple a day really keep the doctor away? (No, but eat it anyway.) Schwarcz (Let Them Eat Flax), a chemist and the director of McGill University's Office for Science and Society, has created a useful reference work for harried consumers. Whether reading cover to cover or picking relevant chapters, readers will find this book a convenient way to separate food fact from food fiction. Particularly timely are the chapters "Substances Leaching from Plastics" and "The Bisphenol A Issue," which highlight current health concerns. An entire section helps debunk questionable diets. Readers will not need a PhD in chemistry to follow along; Schwarcz wisely limits technical terms to the minimum while adequately explaining the chemistry involved in digestion. His latest is strongly recommended for public libraries, especially those with consumer health and nutrition collections. Also recommended for medical libraries with consumer health collections.

Rachel M. Minkin
"… an entertaining guide through the tangle of conflicting research studies, advertising claims, special interest groups, age-old myths and popular opinion that make diet a cloudy subject. … leaves readers with a rational framework for evaluating the complex nature of foods and how they affect health."
ForeWord Magazine
"An Apple a Day hashes out hype and irrational panic one chemical compound and one foodstuff at a time. Between ubiquitous cover-ups and endemic hysteria about what's in our food and our bloodstreams, there's nothing more helpful than a clear-speaking and apparently non-aligned food chemist who is willing to identify the real risks and defuse the rampant bad information out there. Addressing allegations that companies like Monsanto and Novartis intentionally poison consumers, Schwarcz urges skepticism, because "no company wants to undermine its existence or its profits by marketing a dangerous substance." Discounting unfounded rumors, Schwarcz identifies a handful of foodstuffs and practices that should cause real concern. The most serious are the rampant use of antibiotics in livestock and indications that trans fats may do serious harm to people's memories."

Read an Excerpt
Is there a better subject with which to begin a discussion of the relationship between food and health than apples? After all, doesn't "an apple a day keep the doctor away"? Maybe it does, if you throw it at her! There are no single foods that have magical health properties. There are good diets and there are bad diets. It is certainly possible to have a good diet and never eat apples, just as it is possible to gorge on apples and have a horrible diet. What really matters in terms of nutrition is the net effect produced by all of the chemicals that wend their way into our bodies from the food we eat. Yes, chemicals. I can practically see those eyebrows being raised. It may seem unusual to see the word "chemical" without an adjective like "poisonous," in front of it. Actually, without appropriate context, "toxic chemical" is a meaningless term. . . . Everything in the world is made of chemicals, and if you restricted yourself to a diet free of chemicals, you would be dining in a vacuum! With that in mind, let's investigate the chemicals in an apple. So tell me, would you like some nail polish remover in your diet? Or rubbing alcohol? Then have an apple! Yes, all apples contain acetone and isopropanol. And if these don't sound toxic enough, you can throw in some cyanide. It's there too. Added by nature, not by humans! Should you then be worried about eating apples? Of course not! The amounts of these chemicals are too small to be of any consequence. Apples, as already mentioned, contain over 300 naturally occurring compounds, and whatever effect the fruit has on our health is a reflection of all of these.

Noonan syndrome (macrocephaly, high forehead, wide-set eyes or hypertelorism, palpebral ptosis, and low-set and posteriorly rotated ears) along with hair that resembles loose anagen hair syndrome (pluckable, sparse, thin and slow-growing). Other features include frequent congenital heart defects, distinctive skin features (darkly pigmented skin with eczema or ichthyosis), short stature which may be associated with a growth hormone deficiency, and developmental delays.[1][2][3] The condition is caused by mutations in the SHOC2 gene.[1][4] It follows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.[4]Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair is characterized by facial features suggestive of

This paper presents a novel haptic mouse that can be used as a human-computer interface and offers the capability of displaying properties such as patterns, gratings, and roughness. A small planar-distributed pin array is developed. Since the tactile display unit is small enough to be embedded into a computer mouse, we developed a texture display mouse. The performance of its texture display capability was verified. In addition, two psychophysical experiments have been conducted in order to ascertain the influence of vibrotactile stimuli. The first experiment showed that vibrational stimuli could be effective in the perception of patterns while from the second experiment, the functional relation between perceived roughness and component of vibrotactile stimuli was obtained. The experimental results have been applied to the development of a test-bed program.

Bandit, Thieves Guild
|Reached Bandit rank in the Thieves Guild
The promotion to Bandit requires you to perform one assignment, The Elven Maiden, for Armand. Before Armand will give you the quest, you must have sold one hundred gold worth of stolen goods. Go to the chapel in Cheydinhal and steal the bust of an elven maiden from the Undercroft there. Be aware of the guard patrolling the area – she will attack you on sight and you're not allowed to kill her. Steal the bust and return to the Imperial City. You'll discover that a traitor has accused Armand of stealing the bust and the Imperial Watch is covering the Waterfront and Armand is in hiding.
Find Methredhel and she will explain the situation to you. You'll need to sneak into the house of Myvryna Arano, the traitor, and plant the bust in the cabinet to the right of the room. Once that's been accomplished, tell Hieronymus Lex that Arano has the statue. Lex must have a disposition that's greater than seventy before he will believe you. At that point, he will question and arrest Arano and you will be able to talk to Armand at midnight. When you do, he will promote you Footpad and the achievement will unlock as soon as the conversation is over.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2012
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:54:06.
Courses taught by Joyce Klein-Rosenthal
05469: Environmental Justice and Climate Resilience in Planning and Design (SES 0546900)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Tuesday Thursday 10:00 - 11:30 Gund 510
Joyce Klein-Rosenthal
Course Description
How can the practice of urban planning and design creatively engage communities to address the immediate and long-term challenges posed by climate variability and environmental change? The course will discuss environmental problems facing cities around the world through the lens of environmental equity, and provide an introduction to the ideas and information necessary to integrate ecological viability with the other primary concerns of planners and designers; namely, social justice, healthy communities and economic development.
The course will explore the historical roots of urban environmental planning and environmental justice as a social movement, examine theories that have developed to encourage the restructuring and redesign of land use patterns, environmental regulation and systems of production, and critically review some of the methods and processes of planning in light of disproportionate impacts of environmental burdens and exposures to hazards on low-income and communities of color. Efforts to foster environmental equity have emphasized community-based approaches, and we will discuss the strategies, scholarship and case examples of collaborative, community planning and participatory action research.
The objectives of the course are twofold: to understand the methods and practical processes of urban environmental planning with cognizance to their social justice dimensions, and to critically analyze existing plans and planning processes in terms of their ability to help urban populations cope with a changing environment and atmosphere. The course seeks to provide an overview of the major concepts, actors, and methods (such as risk assessment and environmental review) involved in or used in the decision-making context, while emphasizing innovation in planning and design to address complex and related problems in land-use, air quality, watershed protection, waste disposal, climate change, and environmental health.
Class format and requirements: The course will involve a mix of lectures and discussion, with one or two in-class exercises. The course is open to all GSD disciplines. Students will develop, present and write about an individual research project, with the opportunity to collaborate and develop research on a current environmental planning effort in Cambridge. Work will be evaluated based on short response papers, discussion of class readings, the quality of overall class participation, and the final research presentation and report.

Course Description
The Final Project will consist of a theoretical/position component, and of a practical/experimental component. The scope of each of the two components will be determined according to the student's preference, and considering the specific character of the project in consultation with the area coordinator and the advisor. In exceptional cases the final project may be solely based on (expanded in scope and ambition) a theoretical component. A theoretical, written component is required for all final projects. The final project is equivalent to 8 units of courseworkTheoretical/Position component-A written document presenting the original contribution to, and original argument for your artistic/design/research project defended within the context of current discourses in relevant disciplinary fields. The theoretical argument must present the original methodology of the project and position it in relation to:-Relevant present day artistic and design practices and their specific methodologies-Relevant theoretical and critical discourses (including your elaborations on relevant "pro" and "contra" positions)-The relevant historical tradition Practical/Experimental componentThis component involves an original artistic/design project conceived, developed and presented as a public presentation, exhibition, installation, performance, action, and intervention in a physical or/and electronic space. The public presentation is a crucial part of the final project and is required. The Final Project's printed presentation as publishable document (that contains the theoretical argument and a graphic and textual presentation of the practical/experimental component)is also required.

A report in the Sunday Telegraph suggests Spurs are preparing a bid for the 21-year-old Argentine forward.
'Coco' Lamela scored 15 goals for the Giallorossi in 33 games this season, also proving instrumental in creating many more for his teammates.
The imminent arrival of ex-Roma director general Franco Baldini as Tottenham's new director of football has also boosted their connection with Lamela.
As the Lupi paid €12m to sign him from River Plate two years ago, it remains to be seen what price-tag they will put on him.
New Coach Rudi Garcia will also be unlikely to consider losing one of his most promising young players.
Lamela has previously been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City, although it is believed that never progressed to a formal offer.

Boat travel to Soqotra from Oman is now over until mid September at the earliest. There is still no definite news about when direct flights from Dubai will start. Currently there are flights to Sayuun in the Hadramawt but unfortunately no connecting flights.
Recently an American arrived on Soqotra without first getting a visa. this is a huge big no no. He was held by authorities and shipped off the island as soon as possible. Please make sure you get a visa. The best way is to contact a travel agency on the island. If they are legit they should be willing to send you the visa as an email attachment.
Hi, if you want to try travelling to Soqotra by boat try contacting the company below. I understand they can arrange passage to Soqotra for $150USD plus a financial gift to the captain of the boat. make sure you complete your trip before mid May as the monsoon weather makes travel by boat impassible.

be prepared for a 36 to 48 hour trip. possible longer if something…
Ok, as of 24th March 2016, here is the current situation.
If you are a westerner do not travel to Mainland Yemen at the moment. I have an Egyptian friend who just left Aden as it is too dangerous to live there at the moment. I know of one westerner living in Sana'a but he has a job and is well protected by local blokes who are his mates.
As of today the only flights to Soqotra are from Sayoon in the Hadramawt. This route is ok if you are from Yemen or Saudi but do not attempt this if you are…
I am sure many of you who have been to Sanaa during the 2000's have met Michael, a white guy from Australia who had been living in Yemen for many years. When I met him in 05, 06 and 07 on my three trips to Yemen, he was working at (or running?) a travel agency in Sanaa catering to small groups of western tourists. He also frequently hung out at Taj Talha hotel in the old quarters of Sanaa since he was good friends with the owner.
This is him: Image on Picload
Has anyone seen him or heard about…
Hi everyone,
I'm tentatively planning a trip to Aden to study Arabic and there doesn't seem to be a consolidated thread about traveling there to study arabic, so I wanted to start one.
I am planning on going next year, probably August. I just wanted to know if anybody had a name of a private teacher or suggestions for finding one once I get there.
I noticed some airlines are running flights to and from Yemen this summer and was planning on visiting Yemen during that time. If I went, it would be during a study abroad term in France, so I would fly from Paris through Cairo to Sana'a, most likely.
I understand things change rapidly in the Middle East, but do you think there's any chance Sana'a will be possible to visit this June? Also, I would be traveling solo. Thanks for your thoughts!
So, with Yemenia currently suspending all flights, and Felix as well, does this mean there's no way to get on/off Socotra?
i m back from soqotra and i had a wonderful time there.
i did the trip with SOCOTRA-TREK.COM and my driver was Salem and the guide Mahdi!
They did a great job, all perfect organised and had a lot of fun on the island.
even the unrest on the mainland, socotra is far away and totally safe.
i know in autumn yemenia has direct flight from dubai again which is great!
for me its probably the most beautiful place i have ever been and i will ever be!
go for it!!!
Hi everyone,
I'm tentatively planning a trip to Socotra in June and noticed that there doesn't seem to be a consolidated thread about traveling there, so I wanted to start one. Here's information I've pulled from other threads and my own research:
Flights -- Generally you have to fly through Sana'a, though there was until recently a Felix Airways flight from Sharjah that stops in Mukalla (you don't have to deplane but will be on the tarmac for a bit). There's conflicting information about…

The spring equinox arrives on Thursday. That might have many people living in the eastern half of the country hoping that cold weather will finally exit the region. But in the meantime, at least enjoy the view of the equinox from space courtesy of NASA's Earth Observatory.
The equinox is a function of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. On March 20, the tilt of the Earth in relation to Sun is zero. The same thing happens on September 20, which marks the fall equinox.
(MORE: Blinding Commute in These Towns | Science Behind the Vernal Equinox)
That doesn't mean day and night are equal all across the planet, but it does make for some fantastic imagery. NASA's Earth Observatory spliced a view of the planet from space for a whole year. In it, you can clearly see the transition through the seasons based on how much light reaches different parts of the globe.
Though the equinox arrives consistently on March 20, climate change is helping alter the timing of spring in the U.S. Researchers looking at "first leaf" date for a number of plants as a proxy for spring saw that spring started 3 days earlier during the period of 1991-2010 compared to 1961-1980. Parts of the country including the Southwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast are seeing spring arrive up to a week sooner. That's a comparatively small increase, but it could upset a balance that plants and animals have developed over hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Morpeth Lecture
The Morpeth Lecture was established in 1967 to celebrate the partnership between the University of Newcastle and the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle. The name of the Morpeth Lecture comes from the College of St John the Evangelist at Morpeth, the previous ministry training and education centre of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle.
2015 Morpeth Lecture
The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Authority of the Bible
Tuesday 15 September 2015
The Dead Sea Scrolls have changed Christian understandings of the authority of the Bible. It is now widely recognised that several books found in the Jewish Bible and the Christian Old Testament had complex histories of development and existed in multiple editions in the pre-canonical period.
Professor George J. Brooke explored textual pluralism in relation to the teachings of Jesus and the writings of the New Testament to argue that Jesus and the first generations of his followers lived with, and took advantage of, Jewish scriptures in ways not previously envisaged.
Professor Brooke is Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester, UK, where he has taught Biblical Studies and Early Judaism since 1984. He was a founding editor of the Dead Sea Discoveries journal and his book, The Complete World of the Dead Sea Scrolls has sold more than 70,000 copies.
For more information about the Morpeth Lecture contact the Office of Alumni and Philanthropy on +61 2 4921 6380 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Theology between Religion and Politics
Dr Tim Stanley delivered the Morpeth Lecture on Tuesday 29 May 2012.
Dr Stanley, lecturer in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Newcastle, spoke on theology's place in current debate about the resurgence of religion in contemporary political life.
Why Believe?
Professor Graham Ward, Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University, delivered the 2013 Morpeth Lecture Why Believe? on Tuesday 23 July.
To have beliefs is a characteristic of being human. In this lecture Professor Graham Ward examined the nature of believing itself, the signs of its origins both in human prehistory and contemporary investigations into neuroscience. He also examined the way this anthropological condition relates to religious traditions and faith, emotional life and social organisation.
Two-Faced, Two Ways
History shows relationships with First Australians have been two-faced. There is another way.
What sort of relationship do we all want and need with the First Australians? How can we heal together, and progress from an infantile relationship to one more positive?
The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle, The Right Reverend Greg Thompson, spent seven years as Bishop of the Northern Territory, and previously 10 years working in community organisations and parish ministries in the 'top end'.
Bishop Greg reflected on his experiences in the Territory, exploring the concepts of 'closing the gap' and reconciliation for First Australians.
He argued that leadership isn't always about knowing the answers, but about working together to find a common pathway and move forward.
Presented in collaboration with the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle, the 2014 Morpeth Lecture was held on Wednesday 23 July in Christ Church Cathedral, Newcastle.
