In a translational medicine initiative, the National Institutes of Health has launched the NIH Centers for Accelerated Innovations (NCAIs), funded by its National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), to target technologies to improve the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of heart, lung, blood, sleep disorders, and diseases.
NHLBI issued grants totaling $31.5 million to establish three inaugural, multi-institution NCAIs: Boston Biomedical Innovation Center (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard College), Cleveland Clinic Innovation Accelerator (The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine; Case Western Reserve University; Cincinnati Children's Hospital; The Ohio State University, Columbus; and University of Cincinnati), and UC BRAID Center for Accelerated Innovation (UC Los Angeles, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, and UC San Francisco). Additionally, each awardee has secured nonfederal funding equal to or greater than the NHLBI grant.
Each center is a consortium of academic, government, nonprofit, and private sector organizations that will provide funding for feasibility studies, regulatory, legal, business development, and entrepreneurial training and mentorship. According to NIH, NCAIs will navigate the translation of early stage biomedical innovations from the research laboratory to commercial development and deployment to patients.
NCAI awardees will leverage existing federal government resources, including those offered by NIH and by other federal program partners including the FDA, the United States Patent Office, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Coaches Need Stricter Standards
Published: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 7:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 7:44 p.m.
As a high school student in the United States, athletics are a common part of culture, fun and social flourish.
Athletics drive you to understand determination, ethics and focus and brings long-lasting friendships and bonds with coaches and team/club mates. However, the ethics within the leaders' system of high school and college athletics may be questionable. As evidenced during March Madness, many spectators and college critics are attempting to debunk the strange quirks in coaching ethics.
Today's coaches seem to be veering farther away from the regular understanding and morale booster that they used to have. But how can we evaluate their behavior when they are reflective of the change in morale among everyday people?
We are meaner and leaner when it comes to college and professional athletics, and no longer are we in the same league of Vince Lombardi-esque, swim team-like renegades that enjoy the heart of athletics as much as its added fame. Many college coaches hope to be recruited by top national clubs/ teams, and with the economy as unstable as it is, this ends up falling on the shoulders of their athletes. But just as with the safety equipment used in football, we need to ask whether or not the structure of this system is good for the future.
Students are re-prioritizing, pushing themselves harder than ever before and often being treated quite poorly on account of the ever-so-trusted coaches. When you talk about high school sports, it ends up being a "whole 'nother ballgame." The bureaucracy that comes with a simple match or transportation of team members seems ludicrous for what used to be a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants organization in athletics.
Coaches are not as physically abusive as they are mentally abusive. With the focuses shifting from the unruliness of students to that of our supposed "teachers," sports are getting a fresh take on what it means to be a coach and what that entails in behavior.

For some, the idea of buying or keeping a desktop seems ridiculous when there is a laptop that can be propped on a table at home, with the added convenience of being extremely mobile. Since 2008, laptops have dominated the computer sales market, overshadowing the popularity of the desktop variety. Now with tablets rivalling laptops for superiority and the two dominating the market, the desktops and all-in-ones seem to be overlooked by buyers. However, there are still many people who value PC desktops and all-in-ones, and not just out of nostalgia for traditional computers but out of necessity.
Choosing to buy a PC desktop or all-in-one can be a smarter decision depending on the needs of the user. These types of computers, especially the PC desktops, can be very versatile when it comes to upgrade options. In addition, their efficiency is unmatched in the standards of certain people, such as video editors and gamers, among many other individuals. There are plenty of PC desktops that are available online, and those who are on a tight budget can still find the best computer of any of this type by following a number of pointers that guide them to the best deals and options.
Why Buy a PC Desktop or an All-in-One?
There are still many people who swear by the efficiency of desktops when it comes to providing the maximum horsepower and a variety of upgrade choices. All PC desktops and some all-in-ones are versatile. Users can add modules without replacing any part when they need more RAM, install a second hard drive on an open bay in the tower when needing more storage space, and quickly upgrade a video card for faster performance.
Finding the Best PC Desktop or All-in-One on a Tight Budget
Even on a tight budget, buyers can still find PC desktops and all-in-ones that are best for their needs. There are a number of things to consider when buying these types of computers.
Buyers must choose the display wisely when getting an all-in-one because in most all-in-ones the display cannot be replaced without replacing the entire computer. With PC desktops it is much easier to replace the display without affecting other parts. The essential factors to include when surveying different displays are the display technology, display resolution, and display size. If on a tight budget, veer away from LCD panels with plane-line switching (PLS) or in-plane switching because they are expensive. In all-in-ones these LCD panels are only available in larger types so buyers who have a budget consideration may want to choose a smaller all-in-one.
Buyers of PC desktops may fear that LCD screens are expensive, and many of them still are, but the good news is that the price of computer LCD screens are going down. With enough patience in checking LCD screens online, people can find one that is affordable.
Buyers who intend to use an all-in-one for rigorous computer tasks, such as heavy photo editing and managing complex spreadsheets need a desktop processor, which can be very expensive. The solution is to buy used all-in-ones with a desktop processor. There are used computers for sale on the Internet, and many of them are incredibly affordable. Buyers can even get lucky from buying an all-in-one from an owner who used it only for a few months, and selling it just to get his or her hands on the latest version or a new model. These people who could spare plenty of money for the latest computers sometimes hardly care about the price they set for their not-so-old computers. Buyers can even get a manufacturer warranty in deals like these.
If planning to do minimal to basic tasks with the computer, there are entry-level desktop and all-in-one computers that function well enough for modest use. Core 2 Duo may be the superior type of processor but Dual Core, which is cheaper, can almost perform as well as the Core 2 Duo variety. The only noticeable difference between the two is that Dual Core has only 1MB of shared L2 cache. Another option is to buy a computer with AMD entry-level processor, such as Sempron.
The memory capacity of a computer or all-in-one directly affects their price. The higher the gigabytes the pricier the computer is. Buyers who cannot spend exorbitant amounts of money on a PC desktop or an all-in-one must carefully assess their memory requirement. When budget is tight, of course it is always best to choose the minimum memory capacity for the needs. It is always possible to upgrade to higher memory capacity, even 16 GB or more, with all PC desktops and a number of all-in-ones.
For all-in-ones, however, expanding the memory although possible may require users to replace the original memory modules with higher versions, instead of just adding to the existing dynamic random-access memory or DRAM that stores data in a separate capacitor, a common memory type in personal computers.
Graphics, Storage, and Connectivity
For serious gamers, graphics is one aspect of a PC desktop or all-in-one that needs investment. It is not recommended to skimp on graphics hardware when planning to use the computer for gaming or video editing. For other uses, there are personal computers that offer good but fairly cheap graphics, such as custom or whitebox computers. When it comes to storage, most all-in-ones use mobile hard drives because these computers are designed to be compact and to have cooler operating temperatures just like laptops. Again, the storage capacity of PC desktops can be upgraded, so users can opt for the basic to modest, or from 60 to 500 GB of storage.
Basic all-in-ones do not have an inbuilt Wi-Fi adapter, but buyers can just purchase an aftermarket USB adapter to be able to connect wirelessly. A USB Wi-Fi adapter or dongle can be bought at a very cheap price online. Buyers can choose the n-standard because it offers better connectivity and coverage. So, buyers have two options: buy an all-in-one with an inbuilt wireless connectivity device or buy a basic one and just plug in a USB Wi-Fi. It all boils down to weighing the options, choosing the one that is more cost-efficient, considering other aspects of the computer.
Budget All-in-One Computers Below 23 Inches
Because it is getting harder to upgrade all-in-one computers these days, buyers might be confused about which all-in-one to choose when on a budget. Buyers can find that the best all-in-ones that have very cheap prices come in relatively small sizes or specifically, below 23 inches. Such all-in-ones include HP, Lenovo, Acer, and Gateway.
HP is a respected brand of computers that have diversified its product line. It offers a range of products, from PC desktops to laptops to mobile phones. HP offers Compaq, which is the company's cheaper laptop product line, and when it comes to all-in-ones, there is HP Omni 200 Quad that provides excellent performance and upgradable options. The model, however, does not have a touchscreen and has speakers that do not have quality consistency.
Another popular brand of computers is Lenovo. Aside from computers the company also offers other devices, such as mobile phones. It also produces budget all-in-ones. One of its models, Lenovo IdeaCentre A300, offers great performance plus a variety of connection options around its great-looking chassis. It has both HDMI inputs and TV tuner. One disadvantage of the model is that it does not have an optical drive.
Acer is a very popular brand, with sales rivalling other top PC manufacturers. Acer offers PC desktops, laptops, all-in-ones, among many others. Its model, Acer Veriton Z410G has a good video-playback quality. This all-in-one is also capable of multitasking, so users who need to open different applications in one session can find Veriton Z410G very pleasing. The major drawback is that the design of the chassis is not as appealing as other budget all-in-ones.
Another great brand for budget computers is Gateway. The company provides a wide range of desktop computers, laptops, servers, computer monitors, and computer accessories. It also offers budget all-in-ones, such as Gateway ZX4300-01e, which is a fast computer and provides great performance for its price range. It also has an integrated 802.11n connectivity, which is currently the highest standard in wireless connectivity. It has, however, a few connection options and a little distant speaker sound.
Buying the Best Budget PC Desktops and All-in-Ones on eBay
There are plenty of best budget PC desktops and all-in-ones on eBay, and you can choose from a wide range of brands, from ASUS to IBM to WinBook. You can also choose assembled or custom computers that are either relatively cheap or has better parts compared to other computers in the price range.
Whether you prefer a new or used PC desktop or all-in-one, you can find it on eBay. What is great about eBay is that you can easily filter your search based on your preferred specifications. So whether you are looking for a PC desktop or all-in-one with screen under 23 inches, with an Intel Pentium processor type, or a processor speed of 3 GHz, it is easier to find available options on the site.
Make sure to buy from a seller who have a high positive feedback score and whose page is filled with great comments from previous buyers. These sellers are often top-rated sellers that are either individuals or online shops in eBay. You can get the best deals when buying budget PC desktops or all-in-ones on the site if you are careful in choosing the product and the seller.
PC desktops and all-in-ones are still relevant today. They are chosen by many buyers because of their great performance and upgrade-option capacity. To choose the best budget PC desktop or all-in-one, buyers must consider their specific requirements for the computer whilst keeping in mind the budget. These requirements are often met by certain parts of the computer, so buyers can weigh which parts to prioritise and which to skimp on.
The display screen of a PC desktop or an all-in-one, for instance, could be smaller to cut cost on the overall price. Processors and memory modules can be of basic types when purchasing an entire PC desktop or all-in-one because they can be upgraded later. In general, buyers on a tight budget who want to get the best PC desktops or all-in-ones can purchase used computers that perform just as efficient as new ones; buy a basic computer and just upgrade at a later date; choose models that have less parts, such as those that do not have an inbuilt Wi-Fi connectivity; and just buy cheap aftermarket parts.
Even with laptops and tablets around, PC desktops and all-in-ones are still essential to many people. Those planning to buy a PC desktop or all-in-one can get the best deal if they weigh their options wisely, choosing a type that have both better-performing parts to serve the buyer's specific needs and basic parts for functions that buyers do not require to be very efficient.

Popcorn is a excellent, nutritious snack and can be even better when you know how. This guide is making popcorn tips and tricks.
You don't have to buy gourmet popcorn. When making popcorn, I have found it is better not to heat the oil on a high heat at first. I know this may sound stupid, but the kernels get more more heat distribution if you start out slow.
Think: You don't cook prime rib steak on blazing heat from the get go; you'll end up burning parts and other parts will be undercooked. After hearing the first few kernels pop, turn up the heat. Cook as normal.
I think you will find less kernels than before. I have and I buy store brand. My friends wonder why there are so little kernels left. They think I have used gourmet popcorn like ORVILLE REDENBACHER. HA. HA. HA.
It's like my grandma letting the city cousins think they were drinking delivered milk when all she was doing was putting the family cow's milk in a bottle she found!
By the way, I don't ever use a popcorn machine.
This is the old-fashioned way of making popcorn. It is easy to make and tastes so much better than microwave popcorn. This is the way my family makes popcorn. Nearly every kernel pops and it does not take that long to make.
After you're done popping your popcorn in the microwave, and before you open the bag, put it over the garbage can and shake the bag really hard. Make sure the opening of the bag is down. All your unpopped seeds will go into the garbage, no more seeds.
This is a guide about making colored popcorn. Making popcorn in an array of fun colors can be done at home.
Here is a tip to release the aroma of popcorn but protect it from anything entering. Simply use a splatter screen cover. Great for home, picnics, or parties!
How do you color popcorn? I have seen colored popcorn (unpopped kernels) in catalogs for sale, and it's rather pricey. Apparently when popped the popcorn is multicolor. I'd love to figure out how to do this.
Rose from MO
I too remember when colored popcorn came in bags. The colors looks so neat we were sure we would be eating green, red and blue kernels but not so. The first lady was right. It all popped up just like regular popcorn. The color must have been a gimmick to push sales.
I remember my mom buying the colored popcorn kernels and when you popped it just the hulls were colored ~ pretty but not really what we were expecting.
Just picked up a small cookbook 'Kool-aid[soft drink mix]Comes OF Age'. Page 37. Popcorn Balls 9 cups popped popcorn 1 cup light corn syrup 1/3cup Kool-aid sugar sweetened soft drink mix, any flavor Place popcorn in a lightly buttered bowl. Combine syrup and soft drink mix in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and continue boiling until mixture will seperate into hard threads when dropped into very cold water[or to a temperature of 270*] .Remove from heat and pour over popcorn, mixing quickly to coat well. Spape into 1-1/2 inch balls. Makes about 3 dozen. You wouldn't have to make this into balls, you could just place on a cookie sheet, cool and break into pieces. Colored and flavored too! Enjoy jimsjunque
Tips for popping and flavoring popcorn. Post your ideas.
Does anyone know the best way to store unpopped popcorn kernels? We never seem to be able to get more than halfway through a bag without them going "flat" and not popping as well.
Thanks for any suggestions :)
I only pop popcorn on the stove. I use no name popcorn. I use a dutch oven pot (one of the big ones with a lid), pour enough oil onto the bottom of the pot to evenly coat it, pour in kernels to coat the bottom, then slide them around to coat in oil. Cover, turn onto high, and rest the covered pot on the element until it starts rapidly popping. Then I turn it down between med-high, hold it over the element (about 3 inches) and shake every ten seconds or so. A giant pot of movie popcorn in about 3 minutes and no annoying shaking sound on the element. Toss with salt. No need to add butter since the kernels are already coated in savory oil. MMMMMMMMMMM.
What's the best way to flavor popcorn?
Is there a way to refresh stale popcorn?
By Ray from Chicago, IL
I would put it in the micro at a low power setting for about 2 min. Worth a try.
I was also going to say placing in the microwave but I would experiment with the amount of time so you don't burn the popcorn. In my microwave it would definitely be burned if I did it for two minutes. I refresh crackers and chips this way so it might work for popcorn too. :-)
Don't throw away your stale popcorn....save it using your oven!
1.Preheat the oven at 200 degrees F.
2.Spread the popcorn evenly on a baking sheet.
3.Put the baking sheet in the oven.
4.Set the timer for 5 minutes.
Check the popcorn to see if it is crisper and more palatable.
Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until the popcorn is to your liking.
Get away from the microwave for popcorn. Cook the popcorn from the popcorn in a jar, using a Teflon pot and a cover. This way, you have nothing fattening in your popcorn.
I hope that someone can help me. I was given some Microwave popcorn. The only problem is I don't have a microwave to pop it in. Can I pop it on an electric stove and how do I go about doing this? Thank you for any help.
Sandra from Pennsylvania
I would sure give it a try. It was free, so its no loss to you. It's probably better for you done on the stove, anyway. Good luck!
I've done it when I was camping and had only a stove in the trailer, no microwave. It turned out fine. I did it just like minnabird suggested.
I do it all the time. Sometimes microwave popcorn is so cheap I can't resist it, or it gets me a nice rebate. It's already seasoned, which is something I don't do myself, but it's nice for something different. Just pop it like regular popcorn, but don't add any oil. Makes your taste buds happy!
What kind of oil is 'healthy" for popping popcorn on the stove top?
By t_mboer
I have been using Canola oil to pop popcorn for years. Olive oil tastes good, but tends to burn faster.
My personal taste says ditto to 'extra virgin' olive oil. Also it's 'burn' temp is 406° as opposed to canola oil which is 400°. Extra light olive oil burn temperature is even higher, 468°. It's regular unrefined olive oil that burns at only 320°.
As for which oil is healthiest, all vegetable oils we cook with contain a combination of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats in varying degrees so there really is no such thing as a saturated-fat-free oil or one containing only polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat.
The healthiest oil you can use is olive oil. Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat and, unlike butter, lard, and other fats, contains a large proportion of easily digested fats and no cholesterol. Olive oil is also a good source of vitamin E, which is thought to help protect humans against cancer and heart disease. It is now the third best selling oil in the US and getting more and more use because of its properties.
I just received two large tins of loose popcorn. How do you cook popcorn in the microwave oven? Do you add oil? How much popcorn to oil?
Sandy from Vermont
You'll need to purchase a popcorn popper especially for microwave use. They are cheap and can be bought most anywhere; Walmart, Target, or even Menards/Home Depot. You don't use oil when microwaving popcorn. Hope this helps. (02/16/2006)

It's healthier if you use a plain brown lunch bag, and the kernels, no oil. Pour enough kernels to cover the bottom of a brown lunch bag, then refold bag, and roll down the top a few times to close it, and heat on high for 1-2 minutes (sometimes longer depending on the microwave itself). (02/16/2006)
Just put a handful of popcorn kernels in a brown, paper lunch bag. Fold it over 2 or 3 times, and microwave for several minutes, until you hear it almost stopped popping. Don't need to add a thing to it. (02/16/2006)
By Judy
Don't use any oil, and just put enough popcorn to cover the bottom of a lunch style brown bag and set the timer for anywhere from a 2 minutes to 2 1/2. Sit back and enjoy! (02/16/2006)
By teatimelady
Yes, you need a Orville Reddenbacker popper made for the microwave. It makes very good popcorn and you can add oil or not as you wish. Have had one for many years. Much better than regular microwave popcorn (02/16/2006)
By Jan.
I have always done popcorn this way. I take about 2 handfuls (you will have to see what yours does,, how good it pops) and put in a brown lunch bag. Fold ends down and turn the microwave on. Can't really tell you how long. You can hear about when it stops popping, and also see when the bag is full! I eat mine just out of the bag, no butter, no nothing. Very good! (02/16/2006)
By Shirley
Or you could cook it the old fashioned way on the stove in a pan with oil.
Cover the bottom of a 2 quart pan with oil and heat. Add a kernel. When it pops, cover the bottom of the pan with corn. Shake vigorously until popping almost stops.
YUM! Pop-corn
By Diana
I always use a Microwave Rice cooker to pop my corn in. Its a good size plus it has a lid. So any Microwave cooker with a lid is fine. Or you can just use a paper bag. And there's no real need to use oil when popping corn. Takes about one and half to two minutes to cook. But you can hear when the corn has stopped popping. Happy Popping. (02/17/2006)
By Kiwi Pom.
I do the lunch sack method. Quick and easy. Then I put the popped corn in a bowl, drizzle with a good olive oil and a smidgen of garlic salt. Delicious! (02/19/2006)
By Beth
I worry about the fumes from the glue in the paper sack. My mother baked turkeys in a brown grocery bag and they came out nice and browned but I worried about the glue that keeps the bag intact. Anyone know the dangers? (03/19/2006)
By June (Guest Post)
My method is to make a butter icing type mix, then rub the popcorn kernels through it, then microwave with a plate over the top, same principal applies with salt. (08/17/2008)

I'm using
IntegerUpDown from the WPF toolkit and I'm binding the minimum, maximum, and value properties.
When the view loads, some of the values in the
IntegerUpDown control display "0" (invalid input which I can't touch) even though the minimum is set via the binding to "1" (I can't touch this either).
Why does this happens? Why doesn't the minimum enforces the minimum check on screen load? When I scroll down the view probably refreshes as then the app crashes.
Any idea on this issue will be great

Reclusive movie star Jessica Lessing is finally coming out of hiding—to confront her father, a con man who has been selling her out to the paparazzi for years. On her four-day road trip to Las Vegas, she encounters three unexpected allies—Vivian, a teenager with newborn twins; Lynn, a dog shelter owner living in isolation on a ranch in rural Nevada; and Dana, a fearless ex-military bodyguard wrestling with secrets of her own. As their fates collide, each woman will find a chance at redemption that she never would have thought possible. MacKenzie Bezos's taut prose, tough characters, and nuanced insights give this novel a complexity that few thrillers can match.
This ebook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.
Editorial Reviews
"Bezos writes spare, present-tense prose that lends her writing an urgency as four women slip in and out of psychic and emotional peril." —The New York Times Book Review
"Sweet are the uses of adversity, writes Shakespeare, and MacKenzie Bezos explores that proposition. . . . Her characters are beautifully delineated and arrestingly original." —Geraldine Brooks
"Traps is a page turner. . . . A remarkable kind of alchemy. . . . I didn't want it to end." —Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone
"Cleverly orchestrated. . . . Each woman is impressively rendered." —Kirkus Reviews
"Bezos galvanizes the mundane with a sense of dread, presenting four women trapped by sad circumstances and their own fallibility. . . . Bezos creates a sad, melancholic, nearly melodramatic world, almost too hard to stomach until we begin to see what she sees: "Life is full of things that feel like traps. . . . Sometimes later we see that they led us where we needed to go.'" —Publishers Weekly
"The story of four women in distress. . . . Bezos deftly weaves these disparate stories together and creates a moving tale of redemption." —Booklist

Read an Excerpt
1. Nausea
In the vast valley north of Los Angeles, on a street of abandoned warehouses, behind a wall of corrugated metal topped with barbed wire, beyond an unused machine shop, in an unmarked prefab office building, inside a tiny bathroom with a hollow-core door, our first hero begins to tremble as she steps into a strange pair of pants.
These pants are enormous—inches thick, visibly stiff, made of a fabric coarse and gray—and when she grips the sink for balance, letting them fall, they relax only slightly, a pair of heavy phantom legs leaning against her own. A matching jacket lies felled on the floor like some hunted thing, arms pinned beneath its own weight. On the seat of the closed toilet, an open equipment bag bears a padded red helmet, its dark metal face cage regarding the water-stained ceiling. And on the floor beside it, a clipboard:
McClelland Security Services
Contingency Stress Inoculation Training
Dana Bowman, Years 1–6
with colored graph lines for Heart Rate and Test Duration descending.
This woman keeps her head bowed, focusing resolutely on the shining silver drain stop at the bottom of the sink. She is able to still herself this way, but over the course of a long minute, the short hair at the back of her neck begins to darken, the skin to shine, and at last a bead forms and slides down to disappear into the rolled cotton edge of her tank. She cranks the sink water on. She flips a wall switch, setting an old ceiling fan rattling. Finally she straightens and pulls the pants up tall, fitting her arms through the ragged straps of the suspenders in front of the mirror. Tall and lean. Short, dark hair. Eyes a clear green. Thin white line of a scar above her upper lip.
This is Dana.
She stops the stream of water with a still-shaking hand and cups some, sips at it, the bulk of it dribbling from her chin into the sink. She reaches behind her into the equipment bag to grab a long black strip of nylon webbing with a plastic clip. She passes it under the running tap and hikes her tank up to fit it on around her rib cage under her bra, weaving it through the suspender straps and snapping it in front over her sternum. Beyond the red helmet, in the deep of the bag, is a little black wristband with a digital display. She takes a deep breath through her nose—nothing you can hear, but you can see her chest rise and keep silently rising, followed by a long, slow fall. Then she fishes out the wristband: forty-four beats per minute.
She shuts the water off now and takes two neoprene sleeves from the bag and pulls them on over her forearms. She hefts the coat from the floor like you would a heavy backpack, slinging it on, tiny inside it, and makes short work of the clips in front. Then she picks up the clipboard, tucks the helmet under one arm, and opens the bathroom door.
On to a large break room. At the counter is a big young man in a T‑shirt and camouflage cargo pants, his brown head shaved shiny bald. He is leaning against a humming microwave, tapping a spoon in his open palm. "Shit," he says. "The corsage I got isn't going to match."
Dana lumbers past him, setting her things on the table, and twists the dial on a padlock. Inside her locker is an oversized backpack—black ballistic nylon girded with a dozen zippered pockets. He watches as she yanks one open and withdraws a box of Pepto-Bismol tablets and fiddles with a crinkling cellophane sheet.
"Cujo-itis?" he says.
She pops a pair of pink tablets into her mouth and shuts her locker door. She twists the dial on the padlock again, and grabs the helmet and clipboard. The color is back in her face now, not so quickly from the pills, of course, but from some internal effort of her own. She manages to smile at him, even. "Smell of your mom's leftovers," she says, and she pushes the bar release on a fire door and steps, squinting, out into the bright courtyard.
Or not a courtyard, really. A half acre of sparkling mica-flecked blacktop hemmed in by those barb-topped walls and bulwarked by the unused warehouses beyond. To one side a line of six black SUVs with dark windows, windshields flashing white in the sun. At the far end a few long runs of chain-link fence leading to a low concrete outbuilding. And at the center a man in a tie and shirtsleeves next to a plain white service van. When the door crashes shut, the little building in the far corner of the yard explodes with muffled barking.
Dana lifts the helmet and swings open the face guard as she crosses the blacktop. She parts the flaps of thick foam at the neck and lowers it over her head, shutting the cage over her pale green eyes and the little white scar. It muffles her hearing, but right away (she will never understand this about herself, but she will continue to crave it) her heart rate slows and her focus sharpens. A paper clip on the blacktop. A helicopter banking south so far off in the turquoise sky she cannot hear it. And just before she reaches him, a flash of something at her examiner's neck as he reaches out for the clipboard. Someone (a barber? his wife?) has nicked him with the clippers just above his collar, a nearly invisible line of fine red marks just below the short hairs, like perforations. Corey Sifter is his name. A former Marine Aircraft Wing Commander and Combat Tactics Instructor from Alabama. Who likes the chair nearest the door in the break room and eats sunflower seeds in his office.
Dana hands him the clipboard and the wristband to her heart-rate monitor, and in turn he hands her a different -wristband—no display, just a white plastic box with a single red button. She slips it on and pushes it up a bit, hiding it inside the sleeve of the big coat.
He says, "Now, you know that's not just a token of our affection. You can press that thing if you need us."
"Yes, sir."
"You were in there so long last year, we thought maybe you forgot. Decided you had no choice but to make a roommate out of him and live out your days in the back of that van."
"I like living alone, sir," she says.
He laughs. "Fair enough." He riffles the pages on the clipboard and then raps it with his knuckle. "I'm just hoping you don't fall asleep this time. Your peak heart rate has dropped by at least seven points every year."
Dana blinks inside her helmet, waiting. She knows such exchanges can go on a long time if she participates in them, and she is itching to get inside the van. She is still hot inside her suit; she is still nauseous. He still has the trace of a smile on his face people wear when they expect that their banter will be returned, but finally it falls away. He coughs and raps his knuckles again on his clipboard.
"All right then," he says.
And Dana opens the barn doors at the rear of the van and climbs in, pulling them shut behind her.
The space is dark after the bright outside, but it is also familiar. The pair of bucket seats scabbed with duct tape and the empty rear compartment stripped down to the white sheet-metal skin. An anarchy of scratch marks on the floor as her eyes adjust. The space does for her what the helmet did, and she kneels in the center of the van and feels carefully along the underside of the seats. She leans forward to click the glove box gently open and shut. She does not watch through the windshield as a door in the far building swings open. There is just the soft sifting of her hands along the floor beneath the dashboard, searching, and the rattle of her sneakers as she turns and steps back behind the bucket seats, while outside, silent beyond the van windows, a big German shepherd barrels out, dragging a handler by a leash. It scrabbles toward the van, and Dana crouches on one knee, extending her left arm just as the barn doors swing open, flooding the van with light, and the dog flies at her, teeth bared.
What People are saying about this
"Sweet are the uses of adversity, writes Shakespeare, and MacKenzie Bezos explores that proposition through four damaged lives as they intersect over four suspenseful days. Her characters are beautifully delineated and arrestingly original. There is a sparkling, chiseled quality to her writing that puts me in mind of a master sculptor who commands the most disciplined craftsmanship in pursuit of passionate artistic ends."
—Geraldine Brooks
"The four incredible women at the heart of Traps will linger in my psyche for a long time. Bezos's gift is to take what seem to be disparate lives, separate worlds, and weave them into a single tapestry—a remarkable kind of alchemy. The real life lesson here is one of interconnectedness, of strength and courage emerging not despite, but because of adversity. Traps is a page turner, a satisfying read. I didn't want it to end."
—Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone

do we make our traps or are we put into them? various characters have various ways of looking at this complex issue. these four women touched my heart in a way that hasn't happened in a time. each person was distinct and whorthwhile knowing. a lovely book
what could these four women possibly have in common?...different ages and stages in life..on separate paths...but then the paths converge...page after page of scene setting until the interlapping begins..the cross connecting...the divergence transcends the unknowing until all questions are answered and the unknowing becomes known...by the women....by the reader....by the time the book quickly ends
I read this book in two days - once I picked it up, I just kept on reading. I loved how Ms Bezos' descriptions of the characters left me feeling like I really understood them, each with their own strengths and weaknesses to deal with. Each character had equal importance throughout. Starting with an introductory back-story for each, the connections between the four women brought out their own independent strength, rounding out the story as a whole, but also for each individual woman.

The name Imson is of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from the baptismal name Emma. The surname Imson referred to the son of Emma which belongs to the category of metronymic surnames.
The surname Imson was first found in Somerset, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, French and other languages became incorporated into English through the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Imson include Im, Imm, Imme, Imms, Immes, Immson, Imson, Immeson, Imeson, Immison, Imison and many more.

A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants:

Some few options like dates where to enable and automatically disable notification bad (just like in Easy Heads Up Bar plugin) would be nice.
Also notification bar shouldn't be displayed on wp-admin pages/backend. But those are minor details, overall - it's a very good plugin. Easy and simple - does what it should do, I am pleased. Option with following bar always at the top visible of the page is amazing.

The joy of teaching and at the same time learning with the individual student is a reward to me. I have taught since I left college when I worked in the New York City school system with students with learning disabilities. I learned how to help to relax the student and with tools such as flash cards, outside related stories, and creative repetition, to bring the material to life and see the light dawning in their eyes. "I got it", I heard over and over and the joy of mastering the mystery of the learning assignment was so memorable for both the student and for me. I continued to work with students who were K through 8 with The Central Park Conservancy Derek Jeter program in Crown Heights and later as a Social Worker with Fountain House, a clubhouse model for people with mental illness, my skills were tested on another level, but the reward of seeing the dawning of understanding remained my bonus despite the challenge. My technique is to meet the student where he or she is at and using their school books and lessons begin to peel the onion until the material makes sense and is within their grasp. I bring tools to help clarify the lessons such as alphabet blocks to spell difficult words and pictures, magazines and art materials to work with while we are describing something that will bring the word/s to reality.
I am currently working as a tutor in another capacity and have worked with Japanese and Russian speaking clients on conversational English. This involves grammar, pronunciation and definitions of the words. I have also been an Adjunct Professor at The New School address graduate students who were from all over the world.
My desire to work again with young people whose need to master their school assignments is great, and I look forward to meeting a student and exploring together the school subjects. The joy of teaching and at the same time learning with the individual student is a reward to me.

Emerging From Cocoon of Grief; Town Tries to Get Back to Normal After Painful Year
By ANDREW JACOBS
Published: September 9, 2002
MIDDLETOWN, N.J., Sept. 6— Even now, a year after her husband, Louis, disappeared at the World Trade Center, Barbara Minervino struggles with the competing pulls of rejoining the living or remaining curled up in the shelter of her cream yellow ranch home with its comforting memories and distracting mounds of 9/11-related paperwork.
A photographic shrine to her husband still dominates the living room and she refuses to touch the Yankee ticket stubs and the $15 he left on a nightstand the final evening of his life.
But she is also increasingly drawn into the world, both by necessity, and in recent months, the realization that she can survive as a 54-year-old widow with limited skills. ''It devastates me that I was able to live without Lou for the last year,'' she said, sitting in Redheads, a strip-mall restaurant where hundreds of mourners gathered last year after her husband's memorial service. ''I didn't change a light bulb for 29 years. I didn't buy a bedspread without consulting him.''
In contrast to the unrelieved grimness of the past months, there is now a hint of levity in her voice when she talks about the road ahead. ''I still don't know where I'm going, but I feel like I'm a butterfly about to come out of the cocoon,'' she said. ''With the grace that God gives me, I look forward to October and what my place is in the world.''
Since losing 36 residents on Sept. 11, this centerless hodgepodge of look-alike ranch homes and waterfront estates has become a national symbol of devastating loss and communal caretaking. Over the past year, Vanity Fair, ''Dateline NBC'' and a score of newspapers discovered that tragedy had transformed this anonymous, disjointed suburb into a model of selfless do-goodism. Local volunteers distributed more than $700,000 in cash and services to the stricken families, and many neighbors, once strangers, delivered home-cooked meals to make sure no grieving survivor would have to cook during those first terrible months. Lawn services, mechanics and plumbers donated their time, ensuring that no one would have to worry about the mundane aspects of suburban living. In a way, this community has discovered itself in its grief.
But as it crosses the first anniversary, Middletown, like Mrs. Minervino, is struggling with opposing impulses: the urge to move past the trauma of last September and the need to remember.
And while both impulses have enormous force, both the individuals and the town seem intent, finally, on moving on.
''Some days, I just want a normal life like other women,'' said Kristen Breitweiser, who lost her husband, Ronald. ''I want to go food shopping. I want to bake an apple pie. I don't want to be a 9/11 widow for the rest of my life.''
Of course, Sept. 11 this year will be more about looking back than looking forward. By 8:46 on Wednesday morning, when the bells begin to toll at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, the camera crews from MSNBC, CBS and Australian television will already be broadcasting live, showcasing this township's resilience in the face of excruciating loss. Shopping malls will fly their flags at half-staff, police officers will shroud their badges in black and residents will gather for commemorative events at a fishing pier, a half-dozen churches and the Middletown train station, where township officials will break ground on a four-acre park honoring the local residents who died.
''Not an hour goes by when you don't think about it,'' said the police chief, John Pollinger, choking on emotion as he pulled his car into a drive-through teller. ''I think all of us here have been changed, changed forever.''
But neither patriotism nor civic boosterism can stop the intrusions of daily life. Mounting job losses have taken a toll on many families. The battle over a proposed megamall, dormant in the first few months after the terror attacks, has reignited with more fury than before. And although a tentative contract agreement reached Thursday means schools opened without labor strife, there is lingering bitterness from an ugly strike in December that sent 228 instructors to jail. Since then, more than 100 teachers, about one-eighth of the district's total, have left the community for other jobs or early retirement. The district's embattled superintendent moved on as well. ''There are deep and painful wounds that no glossing over, no platitudes, can undo,'' said the union's president, Diane Swaim, a middle school teacher who has lived here most of her life.
While many families say the public outpouring of kindness helped them endure a nightmarish year, they recognize that the unlimited benevolence cannot last forever. The meals stopped coming with the onset of summer, when many families went away on vacation, and several women said they have sensed a waning tolerance for outward displays of grief. ''After a very long year, people expect us to move on, to get on, to try to live life,'' Mrs. Minervino said.
To many family members, moving forward remains painful. Brittany Chevalier, 16, who lost her 26-year-old brother, Swede, worries that school administrators and teachers will no longer make allowances for the days she is too distraught to come to school or too upset to complete an assignment. ''They were understanding on the six-month anniversary, and they'll understand if I don't come to school on Sept. 11,'' she said, ''but they'll start to think I'm being ridiculous when the year-and-a-half anniversary arrives. I guess I'm afraid people are just going to forget and that the world will just go back to normal.''

By Mr Paul Steven Ghiringhelli (Drum)November 10, 2011
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- Soldiers, commanders, senior noncommissioned officers and top civilian leaders of the Fort Drum workforce said goodbye this week to the garrison's senior enlisted leader while welcoming a new one.
Command Sgt. Maj. John H. Oldroyd assumed his new post as garrison command sergeant major from Command Sgt. Maj. John F. McNeirney during a change of responsibility ceremony Tuesday at Magrath Sports Complex.
McNeirney is scheduled to become the U.S. Army Military Police School command sergeant major / Military Police Corps regimental command sergeant major at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., next week.
In his most recent assignment, Oldroyd served as command sergeant major of 1st Squadron, 71st Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team. He has been based at Fort Drum for the past four years.
Among the many guests in attendance were McNeirney's wife, Violet, and sons, John and James, as well as Oldroyd's wife, Karen, and daughters, Tessa and Taylor.
After the noncommissioned sword passed from McNeirney to Oldroyd, signifying the relinquishing of responsibility and authority from the outgoing garrison command sergeant major to the new one, Fort Drum's garrison commander offered some remarks.
Col. Noel T. Nicolle said McNeirney was more than just a senior enlisted adviser; he was a confidant and friend. He also called him a consummate professional who was a gift to Fort Drum.
"The Army has recognized this, which is why he is moving on to be the regimental command sergeant major for the MP Corps," the colonel noted.
Nicolle said as McNeirney readies to become the most senior enlisted MP in the Army, the thing he will always remember about the man is his "superb intellect."
"He was wicked smart," Nicolle said. "He could piece these various regulations and policies together into coherent, logical (terms). It was absolutely amazing. I've never seen anything like it."
Finding out McNeirney has a photographic memory helped to explain a lot, Nicolle said. "But regardless of how John McNeirney does it, he does it. The results are the same -- always excellence.
"We are saddened by his departure," Nicolle concluded. "But our loss is a gain for the entire U.S. Army. It would be selfish for us to not be joyous over his new (assignment)."
McNeirney spoke next during the ceremony. He praised the garrison workforce, crediting Army civilians for making "this organization and this installation so successful."
"They are dedicated professionals," McNeirney said. "Every day, they get up early, stay late, work long hours and weekends … and accomplish their mission of providing for the readiness of our Soldiers and the welfare of their Families and civilians on our installation.
"They come to work every day committed to the success of Fort Drum and the North Country for the long term," he said. "Garrison commanders and command sergeants major may come and go. But continuity (remains).
"They are an Army community of excellence."
McNeirney, who began his Army career as a military policeman more than 25 years ago, served as 91st Military Police Battalion command sergeant major before assuming his garrison leadership role at Fort Drum in March 2010, the year for which the installation won the silver award in the Army Communities of Excellence competition.
Fort Drum has become known to many Soldiers, Families and civilians as an excellent place to live and work, especially because of the support they find on post and the surrounding communities.
McNeirney, who said his Family has become so established in the community that "it feels like home," took time to acknowledge that strong community support, and even called it unique.
"To our great North Country community -- thank you," he said. "You are a great community that has keenly supported all the Soldiers and Families of Fort Drum. I can honestly say, in almost 26 years of service, that I have not experienced a better community."
McNeirney also took a moment to wish his successor well.
"You will find you have assumed responsibility for a great organization," he told Oldroyd. "They will not let you down. (They) will impress you with their successes on a daily basis -- beyond anything you've experienced in your past.
"Enjoy your time in this position," he added. "I will tell you, it will pass too quickly."
Oldroyd stood at the lectern next. He said in visiting with employees at various directorates on post, he has been inspired by the passion everyone has for what they do. He said he looked forward to serving under Installation Management Command in supporting the post's Soldiers, Families and civilians.
"If you look closely at each Soldier's shoulder sleeve insignia … you will see the shadow of the IMCOM badge behind it … (which) proudly supports war- fighters and their Families," Oldroyd said.
Oldroyd began his Army career in 1985 as a cavalry scout. He is a combat veteran of Operations Desert Storm, Joint Forge and Iraqi Freedom. His Army experiences range from gunner, section leader and platoon sergeant to recruiter and military science instructor at Arizona State University.
"Fort Drum," Oldroyd said, "you have me 24/7."

I see you haven't posted for 18 months - are you likely to start up again or is the name currently free ? Hope you don't mind me asking.

Re: Your first and highest CL leap ...[ Edited ]
07-03-2012 07:50 AM - edited 07-03-2012 07:50 AM
Initially, I started out with my Citi Dividend with a $500 limit. Eventually, it worked its way up to $6,350. It sat at that for over a year and I was unhappy with the uneven number (yes, I'm not lying) and requested an increase from $6,350 to $10k. They didn't even pull my report to do that and it was granted immediately due to great history with Citi. I've never been late on any payment, had 1 other CC (low limit store card), one consumer finance account and 1 auto loan which was paid a year early. All accounts have 0 balances. Just pay your bills on time, get your utilization down, and they should have no problem raising your limit. My AAOA is around 3.3 years (less now since I applied and was approved for a Zync) and my EXP score from my AMEX pull was 737.

Set against an atmospheric backdrop of New York City in the months just before America's entry into World War II, "A Time To Be Born" is a scathing and hilarious study of cynical New Yorkers stalking each other for various selfish ends. At the center of the story are a wealthy, self-involved newspaper publisher and his scheming, novelist wife, Amanda Keeler. Powell always denied that Amanda Keeler was based upon the real-life Clare Boothe Luce, until years later when she discovered a memo she d written to herself in 1939 that said, Why not do a novel on Clare Luce? Which prompted Powell to write in her diary Who can I believe? Me or myself?
About the Author
DAWN POWELL, who died in 1965, was the author of fifteen novels.
Praise For…
"The Powell Effect is strikingly evident in her handling of the Clare Boothe Luce character in her roman à clef A Time to Be Born. The character is, in every conventional sense, a monster of sexual and literary deception, and a consummate liar and user, yet seen through Powell's clarifying lens her actions become understandable – one even comes to accord her energies a respect akin to that we have for Becky Sharp. To feel, really feel, the heartbreak of an objectively contemptible character is an exquisitely mixed literary experience, and Powell was peerless in keeping her readers off stride." -- Gerry Howard in Salon

Woman denies shorting Eagles Club $800January 25,2013Woman denies shorting Eagles Club $800
BENNINGTON A Main Street woman is facing criminal charges after police said she cashed at least nine checks while an employee at the Eagles Club, leaving the club at a loss for more than $800.
Jasmine L. Millette, 25, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court Tuesday on nine misdemeanor charges of using false tokens to obtain less than $900. Millette pleaded innocent to the charges and was released on $5,000 bail.
In an affidavit, Officer David Rowland, of the Bennington Police Department, said he had originally been contacted by a representative of the Eagles Club in late 2011. Rowland said he was given copies of checks Millette wrote from her account in November and December, 2011, and cashed at the club although there were insufficient funds to cover the checks.
Rowland said he spoke to Millette at the time and she agreed to work out a repayment plan. However, Rowland said he later learned Millette had not made repayment. The clubs officials asked Rowland to resume the process of pursuing criminal charges.
According to Rowland, Millette did not return calls and failed to meet him at the police station as he requested. He said numerous attempts to locate her were unsuccessful.
Charges were filed in November 2012 and an arrest warrant, which was served Tuesday, was issued.
According to Rowland, Millette has a criminal record in Vermont.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

Welcome Families & GuestsCommencement weekend is a very special time for the newest graduates of St. Norbert College and their families. We thank you for your role in helping your graduate attain his or her diploma and we invite you to be a part of this special celebration.
The College has been authorized to move ahead with the renovation of Schuldes Sports Center and we anticipate construction will be well underway by May. Therefore, the decision has been made to move the Baccalaureate Mass and commencement ceremony outdoors. Both will be held on the quad west of the Campus Center and seating will be limited.
Tickets are not required, but due to the change in format and the fact that we have almost 500 students participating in the commencement exercises, we ask that each graduate's family restrict itself to five family members and/or friends in the outdoor seating area. Please impose this restriction yourself so all guests can enjoy the commencement ceremony. Thank you for your cooperation.
The ceremony will be streamed live online and throughout the campus. Additional guests will be accommodated in Walter Theatre in the Abbot Pennings Hall of Fine Arts, Fort Howard Theater in the F. K. Bemis International Center, and the first floor presentation room in the Miriam B. and James J. Mulva Library.
We look forward to welcoming you to the St. Norbert College campus for Commencement. We've provided the links below to help you plan your visit:
