- What other names is Asafoetida known by?
- What is Asafoetida?
- How does Asafoetida work?
- Are there safety concerns?
- Are there any interactions with medications?
- Dosing considerations for Asafoetida.
Are there any interactions with medications?
Medications for high blood pressure (Antihypertensive drugs)
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Asafoetida seems to decrease blood pressure. Taking asafoetida along with medications for high blood pressure might cause your blood pressure to go too low.
Some medications for high blood pressure include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), Amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.
Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs)
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Asafoetida might slow blood clotting. Taking asafoetida along with medications that also slow clotting might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.
Some medications that slow blood clotting include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
Dosing considerations for Asafoetida.The appropriate dose of asafoetida depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for asafoetida. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

It is the academic study of the criminal justice system (police, courts, and corrections), concerned with the nature and extent of crime, the reactions of criminal justice agencies to the breaking of the law. It is intended for students planning careers or graduate studies in public and community service, including law, public administration, law enforcement (local, state, and federal), court systems, corrections agencies, juvenile delinquency, probation and parole, as well as nonprofit community service organizations.
Students who graduate from Lindenwood University typically find careers in police and sheriff's departments, federal agencies, courts, correctional institutions, probation and parole services, social service agencies, juvenile facilities, and private enterprise. Some students also attend law school to earn their Juris Doctor. There are myriad career opportunities open to those who earn a Criminal Justice Degree and options are not limited to the ones mentioned above.
The Criminal Justice department prepares students to enter the work force with a Generalist degree or with a specified emphasis in Criminal Justice. Criminal Justice majors will earn a Bachelor of Arts Degree upon successful completion of all coursework. The Bachelor of Arts requires a minimum of 45 credit hours, with 33 hours from the Core group and 12 hours from the Major Elective Group. Students seeking a Criminal Justice degree with an emphasis must complete the 33 hours in the Core group and 18 hours within one of five concentration groups. The Concentration groups are Legal Studies, Corrections/Probation & Parole, Corrections/Juvenile, Law Enforcement, and Law Enforcement with a Police Academy Option. Each faculty member is also an academic advisor who will work closely with the student to select a career path that will suit their best interests.
We also offer a Master of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice Administration. Masters degree coursework is currently conducted through our School of Accelerated Degree Programs.

It's summer: Time for Eagles head coach Chip Kelly to face heat
During the team's last full-squad minicamp, when Kelly was obligated to meet with reporters every day, he seemed surprised and less than enthused about the number of ways he could be asked about his quarterback situation.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is an application that collects household and financial information for the student and the student's parents/family. The FAFSA is the foundation we use to determine your eligibility for federal, state and institutional programs.
You should file your FAFSA online anytime after January 1 each year. Filing online improves the accuracy of your application since FAFSA includes "smart edits" in the application. If you are unable to file online, you can contact FAFSA at (800) 433-3243. You can request up to 3 paper applications a year.
You may be required to include parent information on your application. To determine if you are considered a dependent student or independent student review the qualifications for independent status.
Common errors can be avoided by reviewing FAFSA filing tips and the tutorial Seven Easy Steps to the FAFSA: A Student's Guide to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
The priority deadline is March 1 each year. A FAFSA filed after March 1 may not receive the maximum in financial aid eligibility due to limited monies. Your FAFSA does require tax information. If you do not have your taxes filed, it is okay to estimate your information. Be sure to correct your FAFSA information once your taxes are finalized.
Financial aid includes funds in the form of grants, scholarships, work study or loans that are made available to students and their families. These funds are designed to assist students and their families with college costs. Eligibility for financial aid is dependent on the type of aid for which you are applying.
Federal Aid
To be considered for federal aid programs, you must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA requires you have the following eligibility:
be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
be enrolled in an eligible program as a regular student seeking a degree or certificate
have a high school diploma, General Education Development (GED) certificate, pass an approved "ability to benefit" test, or have completed a high school education in a home school setting that is treated as a home school or private school under state law
be registered with the Selective Service if required (in general, if you are a male over the age of 18)
have a valid Social Security Number
not have been convicted of a drug offense while receiving financial aid
There may be additional requirements. Our office will contact you by mail or email if additional information is required.
State Aid
The State of Michigan has many financial aid programs for residents of Michigan. Each program has different requirements.
Institution Aid
All students at Grand Valley are reviewed for scholarships at the time of admission. Additional scholarships are listed in our scholarship database. In addition to scholarships, all students who file the FAFSA will be reviewed for need-based grant eligibility.
Students and their parents can sign the FAFSA electronically using an FSA ID. Signing your FAFSA electronically is the fastest way for your information to be processed and sent to Grand Valley.
On occasion our office will need additional information from you in order to process your FAFSA. The additional information we would ask for simply verifies the information you listed on your FAFSA form. The list below are the types of information we may request. Do not send us information unless we send you a request. This can cause confusion and delay your award notification.
If you receive a request for additional information respond as quickly as possible. We are not able to finalize your award notification until the process is finished.
Please note that your award eligibility will be reassessed as a result of required follow up requests. This may increase or decrease the amount and type of aid awarded to you.

My life has seemed impossibly busy over the past year, and recently it got even busier. Yes, that means additional responsibilities on top of teaching, writing a book, trying to get tenure, taking care of 3 kids, cooking, cleaning, putting together a cookbook, running a home bakery, and blogging on daily basis. Something has to give. In this case, the daily blogging. My plan is still to post 4 times a week or so, but I just can't keep up my current pace. There are, of course, 471 other posts for you to sift through. They're not all gems, but there are some great recipes I would like to revisit and I'm sure you will enjoy.

I understand... take care of your family and home! Trust me - someday all those kids will move out and you'll have waaaaay too much time on your hands for stuff like this :)

- Amey said...
Oh yeah, I've been amazed at your daily blogging... thinking "how does he do it!?" Daily blogging is fun, but given your full load, it sounds like the right one to bump. :)

It happens to all of us sometimes (I'm lucky if I blog once a week and I don't do half the things you manage to achieve in a day!).
We're just happy for the yummies whenever they may arrive :)

There is wisdom in this. You certainly have given a well rounded basis for vegan dishes which gives a spring board for individual creativity.
- November 18, 2008 at 7:10 AM
- Sharon R said...
Oh Vegan Dad; you'd have to be Houdini to keep up this pace. I love your blog/recipes and appreciate what you post. However many times you post isn't necessarily important, I think, because your blog is interesting and timely.
- November 18, 2008 at 7:12 AM
- shelby said...
I agree about the posts, there are too many other important things for you to do and I've got to still go through all of your other recipes and see what I want to make!!

- Lebkuchen said...
You gotta take care of yourself, VeganDad! I'll miss your daily blogging but you need to look out for yourself and your family, first. Take care and I'll be looking forward to your posts whenever you have the time for them! **Still very excited for the cookbook!!**

Quite honestly Vegan Dad, I often wondered how you found the time in the first place. I read you blog while I eat lunch at the high school I teach at, and I look forward to it. I do sift through old entries and am currenlty in June of 08. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Hey Vegan Dad, we are happy with whatever you have time and energy to share.
It's all about balance, and it's good to hear that you are finding yours!

I love all your posts. Definitely a couple a week would be sufficient! It's hard work just trying to keep up with you!
Thanks for all the great stuff.

Mmm, can't wait for that cookbook!

What? You mean you're NOT superhuman? :). I still don't know how you managed until now. Many many thanks for all your hard work. We all are very appreciative!

- Bianca said...
Wow Vegan Dad, you do have your hands full. Blogging 4 times a week is still a lot....I probably only post that many times...we'll still check back all the time.
- November 18, 2008 at 3:06 PM
- Sue G. said...
No worries, Vegan Dad. Do what you need to do. Besides four times a week is still at least three times more than most blogs. We'll enjoy your posts whenever you can share them. Thanks!!

- tidbit said...
I'll miss the daily posts....but life comes first!! Take time for yourself, we'll still be here!!
- November 18, 2008 at 4:27 PM
- Holly said...
Hey, that list doesn't seem so important! You should definitely give up the teaching or the taking care of your kids so that you can still do daily blogs!
Haha just kidding, you really sound like you have a full plate! Good luck with everything, and I'll still check back daily anyway, just to make sure I don't miss a post :-)

I'm amazed that you've done this EVERY day for so long... WOW! thanks! 4 times a week is still awesome.

I don't know how you keep up the pace! No matter how much you post, I will continue to visit your excellent blog!

Vegan Dad,
I was wondering how you were able to do it all...Your blog should be called the SUPER VEGAN DAD :-)
I love your blog...I wish my kids would like your recipes as much as my husband and I do....

Balance is so important in life! Good luck with all your endeavours.

Vegandad, you have done an amazing load of work for free for us to enjoy so there is no need to apologize for anything. Your vegan lunch "meat" has become a staple in my fridge, and I've even submitted to your tempeh meatballs despite not being a great tempeh fan. I truly enjoy your blog and thank you for all your work. I look forward to the forthcoming e-book!
- November 19, 2008 at 4:37 AM
- Kelly said...
Wow. That is an amazing amount of stuff when you see it all in print. I only post 3-4 times a week and I certainly am not trying to balance so many things. Good luck!

- Wethington Family said...
You'll be missed! I'm a vegetarian dad, thinking about vegan, and my little girl is just getting used to solid foods. I've got a slew of your entries bookmarked for us to try together as she grows up.

I have three kids - a full time job, a full time volunteer career and a husband that travels. I check out your website about four times a week - so it's perfect!
Please get tenure so the stress is ameliorated and we get you back!
Take care and with love,

I just found this blog; I will definitely go ahunting to see what I can find!
I'm a vegan mom with a special-needs toddler and the most wonderful boyfriend ever, nevermind his carnivorous ways, lol. I'm also a full-time college student, studying to be a physical therapist assistant. It's a busy, busy schedule; I feel like I'm never home sometimes these days!
Thanks for posting what you can!

Although the Linn County E911 Board hasn't settled on a definite location for the E911 Communications Center to come, they have found a building that meets all of their criteria: The Business Complex (old St. Francis Hospital building) in Marceline. But they wouldn't use that entire sprawling structure, just a 9,000 square foot area on the southeast corner (see graphic that accompanies this feature).
The criteria for the structure the E911 Board wants are as follows:
- It needs to be a stand-alone facility;
- It must have a minimum of 5,000 square feet of floor space;
- It must have its own independent utilities;
- It must have dual fiber optic access;
- It has to be handicap-accessible;
- It must be a secure location in a controlled environment with the benefit of 24-hour police protection;
- It must be an existing structure as construction of a new one would be cost-prohibitive ($5 million to $6 million);
- It must have space for sleeping quarters;
- It must have space for a training room and a board room, as well as office space.
In a followup interview with the E911 Board Chairman and Marceline City Manager, Luke Lewis, he assured that the E911 Board hasn't taken a vote on this issue. He says they won't until the members are satisfied that no other structure meets the criteria, and the Board has done a cost analysis. Lewis clarified, "When I serve as Chair of the E911 Board, I'm looking for the alternative that serves Linn County best. My interests as E911 Board Chair are not just for the welfare of Marceline, but for Linn County as a whole." Supporting that assertion is the E911 Board's intention to also use the building that is eventually chosen as a "multipurpose facility for the entire county's benefit." Lewis says he would also like to see the Linn County Emergency Management Director housed in the Linn County E911 Communication Center to come. "It makes sense for the County Emergency Management Director to be located near the emergency communication center," Lewis asserted.
GBA Architects of Lenexa, KS. did a study of the Marceline Business Complex last year that was paid for by the Marceline IDA. Lewis advised the E911 Board during his PowerPoint presentation at Marceline City Hall Wednesday, "GBA determined that our area of the Business Complex is of sound construction, but may need some exterior tuck-pointing. Although there are none at the Business Complex, there are existing fiber optic lines within a mile of it.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Nov. 28, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Richmond County school leaders say they are rolling out a new plan after findings show there's no visible mold at the Terrace Manor.
On Wednesday morning, at least six parents had withdrawn their children from the school.
Instead of class, third grader Kayla Washington is spent the day at home.
"Boom, boom, boom. My head was hurting like that," she said.
After complaining of headaches, her mom had to pick her up from Terrace Manor.
Emanuel Jackson was a third grader at Terrace Manor until his mother pulled him from the school Tuesday.
"It's like something's booming in my head," he said.
Donavan Jackson told News 12, "I went and withdrew my son, my niece and nephew. My son, the past month or two months, has been complaining of headaches on the regular, never had he ever had a headache."
The health scare is now pushing parents to pull their kids out from the school. Even after school leaders say there is no mold, the district is working up a study to find out what else it could be.
Parents say the nightmare isn't over and want to know what they are supposed to do with their kids in the meantime.
"Continuing visits to their primary care provider. Hopefully, they will help us track down the triggers," said Director of Student Services Dr. Carol Rountree.
Rountree says they are working with the health department and GHSU to do walk-throughs, surveys and even, "We're looking at unnecessary clutter in the building."
"I'm thinking about sending them to Bayville on Milledgeville Road," Jackson said.
Because Emanuel's mom says she is just not waiting around.
Rountree also showed News 12 a study which showed the number of students visiting the school nurse. The results were from the 2011-2012 year across all elementary schools. Compared to the others, Terrace Manor was low.
The school district says the mold is out of the question now and this test may be the last, but they won't give up until complaints have stopped.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — I read with interest your article of July 26, "Vision of Incline Village's Trails Comes into Focus." While I appreciate your subtitle ("Some concerned if plan is a good thing for the community"), it fails to capture the extent and force of the serious opposition to Chuck Greene's trail plan from residents of the areas that would be affected.
Your article lists a few "concerns" about the proposed plan, enumerated by Mr. Greene:
• potential for increased traffic and parked cars on quiet neighborhood streets;
• potential for more littering and noise pollution due to increased vehicle and foot traffic;
• and potential emergency danger if vehicles are hindering access to fire service roads.
I write as one of the Upper Tyner residents whose homes, property values, neighborhood safety and quiet would be affected by Mr. Greene's plan. We are not simply "concerned." We are alarmed by the prospect of a sharp increase of traffic on Tyner and adjoining streets as visitors to the area are lured to a new system of hiking and mountain bike trails planned by Mr. Greene. Many of the trails Mr. Greene hopes to deploy for his scheme are fire trails, which should not be clogged for recreational use. In the event of wildfire, disastrous enough, the situation of residents and homeowners would be exacerbated by more traffic and parked cars on Upper Tyner, where a challenging evacuation situation already exists. There is only one way in and out for residents of this area in case of emergency.
We Upper Tyner residents are troubled that the proposed plan does not take into account the environmental sensitivity of the area, amply documented in the US Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit draft Forest Plan (currently under public review). Extensive evidence collected by the Forest Service has led to their recommendation for no further trail development in the area. This evidence suggests that such development would further stress the area, endangering both the unique natural environment and its wildlife.
We Upper Tyner residents are disturbed by the suggestion that our serene and quiet neighborhoods should be advertised and promoted for recreational access. Mr. Greene and his colleague in this plan, Mark Kimbrough, have been quite successful in their efforts to create and promote the Tahoe Rim Trail (Mr. Kimbrough as TRT Executive Director, Mr. Greene as TRT board member); the TRT, according to its advertising, enjoys more than 10,000 visitors per year. If Mr. Greene and Mr. Kimbrough's plan to develop and promote the trails in the Upper Tyner area is even fractionally as successful, it means a sharp uptick in the number of visitors wandering in our neighborhoods. We did not purchase homes in this area with this expectation, but we do expect a negative impact on our property values if the Greene-Kimbrough plan becomes a reality.
We Upper Tyner residents are hesitant when Mr. Greene presents his plan as a neighborhood enhancement in the style of the Tahoe Donner network of trails and bike paths. He does not seem to recognize the difference between our neighborhoods and the Tahoe Donner planned development, with its steady stream of homeowner association dues to provide for maintenance of their recreational facilities. We foresee, should the grand Greene-Kimbrough plan of linking trails come to pass, no provision to meet the expense of ongoing trail maintenance and security, visitor maps, litter removal, or any of the other necessities demanded by an extensive recreational area.
Finally, we Upper Tyner residents are dismayed that Mr. Greene has pursued work on his trail plan without consultation with us and without taking adequate account of the serious issues we have repeatedly brought to his attention. The public opposition to his plan is stated in a petition circulating in potentially affected neighborhoods. The number of signatures on this petition is already 150, and we expect many more by the time the Greene-Kimbrough plan is presented to the IVGID Board.
We remain hopeful that the IVGID Board will fulfill its charter "to preserve or enhance the general health, safety and welfare of the community" by listening to the objections of homeowners in the areas threatened by the Greene-Kimbrough proposal and by acting to stop the proposed development of trails on Upper Tyner.
— Cheri Ross has been an Incline Village homeowner since 2000.

Planting Hope
As I watched my girlfriend plant the asparagus roots in the freshly tilled soil this past weekend, the thought finally hit me: I might yet stand a chance.
Seeds are amazingly simple in design for what they are meant to do. Soil, water, warmth and a bit of faith creates a plant that provides food, generates more seeds and nurtures the soil, all while cleaning the air and water. It was the cultivation of a few seeds that gave me a completely new perspective on absolutely everything in my life.

NCDOT awards grant to replace Apple Valley Road bridge
Published: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 2:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 2:12 p.m.
The N.C. Department of Transportation has awarded a $464,756 contract to Apple Tuck and Associates Inc. of Rutherfordton to replace the bridge on Apple Valley Road over Clear Creek, northeast of Hendersonville.
The bridge was built in 1961 and is considered structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. While the bridge is still safe, it requires extensive maintenance and repair. Lane and shoulder widths also don't meet current standards.
Work is expected to start April 15 and is scheduled for completion by March 14, 2014.
This is one of 18 contracts totaling $102 million awarded by NCDOT in February for highway and bridge projects across North Carolina. NCDOT awarded the contracts to the lowest bidders, as required by state law. The bids received on the projects awarded came in about 0.6 percent, or $638,695, below NCDOT estimates.

RANDOLPH – Acute care nurse practitioner Amanda Flyckt has joined the hospitalist team at Gifford Medical Center in Randolph. Hospitalists are providers who care for hospitalized patients, or inpatients.
A native of Washington state, Flyckt earned her undergraduate degree in microbiology at Washington State University in Pullman, and then her master's in acute care nursing from Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
As an undergraduate, Flyckt thought her career in medicine would be in research. But after spending time working in a laboratory setting, she knew, "I really wanted to work with patients" – specifically inpatients.
After moving to Vermont, she looked for a hospital that effectively utilized "midlevel" providers well, and found Gifford.
"Everyone is really friendly to me. I really like the organization," says Flyckt, who calls Gifford's hospitalist program "innovative."
Gifford was among the first small hospitals in the region to utilize hospitalist providers and has been included in multiple national hospitalist publications for its successful use of midlevels – physician assistants and nurse practitioners – as part of the hospitalist team.
Flyckt was also drawn to the Gifford for the diverse patient needs and health conditions that are managed locally.
She is board certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and a member of both the American College of Nurse Practitioners and Vermont Nurse Practitioners Association.
She lives in Burlington and enjoys snowboarding and outdoor activities in her free time.

Kind of over the ombre hair, it really is so boring. Orange .. yikes! I should know, tried it, yikes again. Buttery blonde, and L'Oreal is trying a Rose Gold which is a very soft gold blonde but not strawberry or pink but it needs dark low lights or it's bleh.

As a natural redhead, yet now an enhancer, I found nothing that would come close to something I would consider changing my hair to. I have lilly white skin. I'm not coloring it orange but if anyone can come up with an idea, I'll listen. He's coming...Christ Jesus.

An article published yesterday in the Wall Street Journal highlights cancer survivorship care programs, not only as an emerging trend in the medical field, but as an essential accreditation standard for U.S. cancer centers by 2015, according to the Commission on Cancer. With an increase of early detection and advances in treatment options, more and more people are living longer after a cancer diagnosis. As noted in the article, the National Cancer Institute indicates that there will be 18 million cancer survivors living in the United States by 2022.
This article reinforces our notion that women need support throughout their cancer journey, from before diagnosis, during treatment, and through survivorship. Recognizing the need for the development of survivorship care programs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded Sharsheret a grant in 2011 to launch Thriving Again, a comprehensive survivorship program for young Jewish breast cancer survivors. We were able to draw from over a decade of our experience working with young Jewish women facing breast cancer and develop a culturally-appropriate program that touches upon the entire spectrum of issues and concerns that cancer survivors can face, even years after treatment has ended. Sharsheret's survivorship program offers free survivorship kits which address both the medical and psychosocial needs of cancer survivors through informational resources, and action-based tools such as a healthy living cookbook and fitness DVD.
The program also offers a customized survivorship care plan. In addition to the survivorship kit, members of our clinical staff work directly with each survivor to develop their own personalized survivorship care plan. As indicated in the article, after months of treatment, many survivors can feel overwhelmed and isolated during their transition into survivorship. Sharsheret's care plans, designed to be completed with a health care professional, can be used as a tool to help organize each woman's survivorship journey and allows them to focus on living a healthy, fulfilling life.
Click here to order your free survivorship kit and to learn more about our Thriving Again program for breast cancer survivors, or call us toll-free at 866.474.2774 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks , I have just been looking for info about this topic for a long time and yours is the greatest
I've found out till now. But, what concerning the
conclusion? Are you certain about the supply?

There is no disputing that 2010 can be seen as the year that the 90′s have returned with a vengeance. Is it because we have hit the "ten years on from the turn of the decade", meaning it is now acceptable to reflect on the past in such a manner? Or is it a commentary on the new crop of underachievers, in a "well, this was how it used to be done" fashion, from the Gen-X and so-called slacker generation?
Early in the year came the return of Pavement, firstly with a mighty fine 'best of' album, Quarantine the Past, and then an endless global series of tour dates, including a great pre-Coachella set at the Fox Theatre in Pomona. Sonic Youth got into the act, releasing a (vinyl-only) compilation for Record Store Day, and their 'back to being a four piece' slots at the Hollywood Bowl & Matador 21 in Vegas were nothing short of blistering. Meanwhile Liz Phair unearthed her legendary Girly Sound tapes, and issued them a bonus disc with her latest album, Funstyle. Guided by Voices were back, complete with their classic band line-up, still toting the coolers of beer on stage and singer Robert Pollard's legendary high leg kicks, meanwhile the Matador Records redux continued with a long series of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion reissues via Shout Factory.
Books have popped up waxing lyrical about the decade, such as Sara Marcus' treatise Girls to the Front on the Riotgrrrl movement. Later in 2010 Dean Wareham hit the road with his …plays Galaxie 500 live shows, a tour that he brings to the West Coast this week, with a Troubadour date tonight (11/11) in Los Angeles, complementing a set of Galaxie 500 deluxe reissues on Domino Records too. Orchestral pop pioneers Cardinal popped up in reports that they were making a new album. The 90′s invasion was trans-continental even, with a host of participants from across the Atlantic. Everyone's favorite Glaswegians, Teenage Fanclub, came supporting a new album, Shadows, but peppered their live sets with a host of their past classics from The Concept to Sparky's Dream (much to the crowds' delight). And then there were fellow Scots The Vaselines, who released a new album and toured (and yes, we know really they were a product of the tail end of the 80′s). Meanwhile, British dance titans weren't to be left out, as The Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Massive Attack all released new records (Further, Barking and Heligoland respectively). And most recently chatter has started about a reunion by Britpop favorites Pulp.
But let's not forget Superchunk, whose latest album Majesty Shredding is on a par with the best moments of their 90′s output, showing that they are still one of the best rock bands around, putting on a stream of live shows that a lot of acts 20 years their junior could learn something from. The term Loser may have been emblazoned on t-shirts (Sub Pop) and on records (Beck), but twenty years on, amidst this year's 90′s resurgence maybe the question is, "Just who is the loser now?"

"Uncle Beazley," a fiberglass triceratops, can now be seen near Lemur Island. The life-size statue is named after a dinosaur in the children's book The Enormous Egg, by Oliver Butterworth, and the movie adaptation, in which the statue appeared.
The book, published in 1956, and the 1968 film tell the story of a boy who finds an enormous egg laid by a hen that hatches a baby triceratops. The triceratops, named Uncle Beazley, gets too big, so the boy brings him to the "National Museum" in Washington, D.C. He remains there until he is eventually transferred to the National Zoo's Elephant House because there is a law against stabling large animals in District.
Louis Paul Jonas created the Zoo's Uncle Beazley statue in 1967 for The Enormous Egg TV special that aired the next year. It was subsequently donated to the Smithsonian by the Sinclair Company.
The Smithsonian's "Uncle Beazley" was initially displayed at the Zoo, then at the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum, and later at the Museum of Natural History. In 1994, it was returned to the Zoo and was displayed in the former rhinoceros yard until 2003, when the yard was renovated for the Zoo's expanding Asian elephant family.
In 2007, the Zoo and Smithsonian exhibits staff began work to restore the dinosaur. Zoo staff also created a garden exhibit thanks to a gift from a Director's Circle donor in memory of her parents.
The "dinosaur garden" features plants such as ferns, papyrus, and giant taro whose ancestors existed during the age of the dinosaurs.

Winners & Losers From the Week That Was
Winners & Losers for the week that was in business and deals, Deal Journal's weekly look back and grading system of some of the biggest stories. Let us know your thoughts on "You Pick" in the comments section.
Winner — Instagram: Barely a toddler in age, and worth $1 billion. The photo-sharing app that went bonkers on iPhones proved too tempting for Facebook to let parade around without making a proposal. Mark Zuckerberg made a call, then a Facebook post and suddenly a company with no revenue was worth more than homebuilding giant KB Home, among others.
Winner — AOL: The company had been badgered by activist shareholders Starboard to make some money off of its patent portfolio, and managed to sell 800 of them to Microsoft for $1.1 billion, three times what some analysts expected. Shares ended the week up 40%.
Loser — 101 people and firms accused of wrongdoing: That's the number of individuals and financial firms that have been charged with fraud tied to the financial crisis by the SEC, a milestone crossed last week with charges against two former Texas bank executives.
Loser — Oaktree Capital Group: The distressed investor was forced to slice its IPO offering size by 21%, priced it at the low end of its range, and still saw its stock fall. Shares fell over 4% at the open, and ended the first day down 1.4%. On Friday, it fell again, losing another 2.1%. An unfortunately timed press release about chairman and co-founder Henry Marks by Fairfield University might have rubbed a bit of salt in the wounds too.
You Pick — Warren Buffett: The investor has apparently reaped the benefits of Goldman Sachs unloading its proprietary trading positions, scooping up about $85 million in loans at discounted prices. But an auction offering dinner at the Oracle's childhood home, without him, has drawn zero bids after three days.
You Pick bonus — Avon's new CEO: Johnson & Johnson exec Sheri McCoy has walked into one tough job by taking over as Avon CEO. She will helm a company not only struggling to rebuild itself but also facing federal bribery investigations and an unwanted $10 billion takeover offer. She gets a fat paycheck for the role, but is in a position rife for second guessing.

This is not just a flash reaction to what's happening now, because a couple of conference teams winning first- and second-round games in any particular year is just a snapshot of Big Ten success, not the definition of it.
Really, this about the way Michigan and Michigan State powered through their opponents Saturday to get to the Sweet 16, and the inkling that this tournament is now set up to be a fairly expansive celebration of the Big Ten's hoops talent and mindset.
Look around, and it's an easy conclusion: If there's a conference that has put together the right formula for NCAA bracket triumph and in this fluctuating age, it's the Big Ten and its cluster of top, tough-minded teams.
The facts: 4 seed Michigan just ran right through highly regarded 5th-seeded VCU this morning in the South region; and right after that, 3 seed Michigan State overpowered athletic 6 Memphis in the Midwest.
So the first two teams in the Sweet 16 are two Big Ten power teams, with Indiana, Ohio State, Minnesota and Illinois taking their shots Sunday.
I've said the Big Ten seems to have hit on a formula, and is executing it better than anybody else, so let's try to figure out what it is, realistically (that means, other than: getting the best players and scoring the most points, OK?) ...
As much as I've been lauding the Atlantic 10 in the last day or so ... with VCU gone and Butler no sure thing against Marquette later Saturday, I've got to tip my hat to my old conference (hey, is Northwestern doing great or what?) ...
I've already picked Indiana to win the national title this year and Michigan State to be there in the Final Four, too, and this probably will be repeated throughout the next few weeks.
How do these Big Ten teams fit that tournament-winning model?
By the way, the Wolverines aren't only about pretty offense -- they out-rebounded VCU 36-21 Saturday -- and they have a nice mix of older and younger talent that includes ...
Trey Burke, sophomore point guard.
Tim Hardaway Jr., junior wing.
Glenn Robinson III, freshman wing.
And Saturday, freshman big man Mitch McGary (21 points on 10-of-11 shooting, 14 rebounds) owned the rim.
After the game, Izzo laughed about the mid-game huddle flare-up between longtime buddies Keith Appling and Derrick Nix. "It's great, isn't it?" Izzo told CBS' Rachel Nichols.
Well, it's just fine if the coach is as good—and commanding -- as Izzo. If it was a lesser coach, probably not so much. This is a tough, tough team, and yes, they out-rebounded Memphis 41-25.
The Michigan State talent mix includes.
Adreian Payne, junior big man who had maybe the best individual performance of the brackets so far -- 14 points, 10 rebounds, 5 blocked shots.
Gary Harris, freshman guard.
Derrick Nix, senior big man.
Keith Appling, junior point guard.
The Hoosiers talent mix includes ...
Victor Olapido, an explosive junior wing.
Cody Zeller, a sophomore who is the most talented center in the tournament.
Yogi Ferrell, freshman point guard.
Ohio State, the 2 seed in the West, plays a 2nd-round game against Iowa State Sunday.
The Buckeyes' talent mix includes ...
The one Big Ten team that fell short in the early rounds:
Wisconsin, the West's 5th seed, beat Indiana multiple times this season, but lost to Mississippi in the first round.
It's not easy to measure up in the Big Ten these days.

During at least two performances on Vail Mountain, the Georgetown Phantoms will embrace their namesake. The 19-member a capella group from Georgetown University got its name back in 1988. "A group of students in the gospel choir wanted to start a caroling group," said Nick Oki, a member of the group as well as the business manager. "They'd pop up around campus and sing. One of the Jesuits saw them and said 'You guys appear like phantoms.' That's how we got our name."On Sunday and Monday the group will perform on Vail Mountain; on Monday be at Mid-Vail and Tuesday, at Eagle's Nest. There's no set time for the performance, though mid-day is a good bet."We'll just sort of pop up," Oki said. If you want to be sure and see the group, the best bet is to come to the Four Seasons in Vail tonight. The Vail Symposium hosts a concert by the group, which begins at 6 p.m. "Bringing an a capella group to Vail for the holidays has become a tradition for the Vail Symposium," said Liana Moore, the executive director of the Vail Symposium, and one of the people instrumental in bringing the Yale Whiffenpoofs to Vail last year. "Our mission is to provide educational opportunities for the community, so the Georgetown Phantoms will also be speaking about the a capella tradition at Georgetown University and how they arrange their own music," Moore continued. "It will be an entertaining and educational evening."Everything but technoThe co-ed a cappella group has a repertoire of more than 50 rock, pop and R&B songs."We sing mostly contemporary, well-known stuff. Some of our favorites right now are 'Domino' by Jessie J, 'Home,' by Phillip Phillips, 'Love On Top' by Beyonce and 'Bad Romance' by Lady Gaga. We also have a Motown medley we sing quite often that's been in the group a long time."The group votes on which new music - somewhere around nine songs a year - to add to the repetoire each year. They look for harmonies and certain instruments that are easier to replicate with the human voice. "Lots of songs that are popular right now are techno, which is harder to sing." Oki said. The group is one of nine a capella groups on the Georgetown campus, Oki said. "It's always a struggle to figure out which group is singing which song," he said.Yale University has 14 such singing groups, and groups can be found at plenty of other East Coast college campuses."It's viral over there," Oki said. Breaking new groundThe group recently sang at a midnight premiere of the movie "Pitch Perfect," a movie about a college all-girls singing group. "A capella is getting huge," Oki said. "The Sing Off was huge, and The Voice. There are all of these shows on television. With this movie, it was new ground that's been broken."The Phantoms recently sang at the White House for Christmas. "It was our second year in a row doing that," he said. "A little after that we sang at the Blair House, which is the White House guest house. We were singing for the National Security Council's holiday party."Generally the Phantoms tour along the New York coast. So how did a Vail tour come about? Oki's brother was the manager of the Yale Whiffenpoofs who performed in Vail last year, so connections were already in place. "He paved the way for me," Oki said. "The Yale group tours much more than Georgetown, which I'm trying to change. We wanted to branch out from the East Coast and this was the perfect opportunity."High Life Editor Caramie Schnell can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Residents training to be master naturalists
March 30, 2013
Nature enthusiasts and those wanting to learn more about the natural world gathered this week to learn about a program geared to increase knowledge and appreciation of nature....

Lots more to it than farmers folks. Hippies maybe, but that's pretty narrow minded actually. Could a farmer tell the difference between a midland mud salamander and a northern red salamander? (and if you come back with a joke about 'bait' then your automatically an idiot). These master naturalist classes teach alot. You should attend one just to see what it's about. And for the record, what issues do you two have in your lives that you would immediately start hacking at a perfectly harmless adult-learning opportunity? What really is wrong with people?

HAVA's harvest
However Tuesday's presidential election turned out — the outcome remained uncertain, leaning President Obama's way, at press time — it delivered a clear indictment to one of the parting gifts from Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.: the Help America Vote Act.
HAVA, born in the Florida 2000 election fiasco, was intended to modernize voting technology to improve efficiency and make elections tamper-proof. The result, as exhibited by Tuesday's election — conducted shortly after the 10-year anniversary of the passage of HAVA — falls shockingly short of expectations.

The Gold Cup Polo Championship is in full swing in Aiken. Fans attending today's game got a glimpse of all the fast paced action...and even got to see the best polo player in the world.
"I think I may know the best player in the world just a little bit," said polo player and fan Malia Bryan. "His name is Cambiaso and he's playing in the Gold Cup."
31-year-old Adolfo Cambiaso is considered the best polo player in the world, and Bryan strained to catch a glimpse of the master who came all the way from Argentina.
"Aiken has become home to some of the top players in the country," said Sarah Eakin, co-chair of the Aiken Polo Festival.
And for the second year in a row, it's home to one of the top polo titles in the country: the Gold Cup.
"I think USPA gave it to Aiken as a gesture to put Aiken on the map," Eakin said. "Give us recognition as a polo center in the US. And it certainly done that for Aiken."
It's a sport that dates back 2,000 years and is played in 84 countries. Over 20,000 Americans play, and Aiken is now a bona fide hub for the game.
"You know, if you build it, they will come...and that's what has happened here in Aiken," said Eakin.
The Gold Cup will move on next year, but Aiken will host the final event of the Triple Crown of polo, which will be shown on ESPN.
"The Gold Cup has started us off and now we hope the Triple Crown will take us forward," Eakin said.
And six-year-old Malia hopes the same.
"There are some people who haven't even seen polo, but that's okay because they're going to see it one day," she said.
That one day could be today as big tournaments are played in our own backyards.
All Gold Cup Polo events are played at New Bridge Polo Fields.
General admission tickets are $10 for parents and children. No pets are allowed.
Games for the Cup continue every Thursday and Sunday until the finals on October 1.

A man is dead after he crosses the double line and runs directly into a wide load.
Neighbors say it's just the latest example of the dangers when big trucks and small roads collide.
A crash in Burke County kills a Waynesboro man Friday morning.
It all happened on Highway 56 in Burke County...right near Cates-Mead Road.
The accident is still under investigation, but officers say this stretch of road is especially dangerous.
Friday a narrow road and truck carrying a large load cost Albert Kesterton his life.
8:30 in the morning...a mobile home was headed one way, a Ford Ranger the other. Locals say scenes like this are common.
"Is speeding a problem? Oh yes...yes it is!" says resident Calvin Payne. He knows first hand after a close call with a speeding log truck.
"It didn't even slow down...if I hadn't moved into this lane, it would have smashed me," Payne says.
But the driver of the Ford Ranger, Albert Kesterton, and his dog weren't so lucky.
Officers say the 52-year-old man drifted into oncoming traffic and hit a mobile home. Locals say large vehicles on the road and high speeds are a dangerous combination.
"People are going to speed. They ought to slow down...but they don't," says Sheriff Gregory Coursey.
The numbers show people don't slow down. Highway 56 is over 100 miles long...and the 13 mile stretch through Burke County has seen 25 serious accidents and six deaths in a year.
"He had some vital signs, may have been alive. But he's since been pronounced dead," Sheriff Coursey says.
He says high impact and the wooden beam that cut through the middle of the car contributed to the death.
This driver says people don't usually go the posted speed of 55.
"I've had to get up to 85 just to pass a log truck," said an unidentified driver on the scene. A run-in with a big truck is how this driver's father died...one of the six on this road.
Payne says he almost became number seven.
"Those trucks...they just have too much speed around the curve...that would have been a fatality," Payne says.
High speeds, narrow roads, large trucks...all can make scenes like this more common.
Burke County's coroner says Mr. Kesterson died from a massive head injury.
The second driver, 56-year-old Danny Brown, suffered minor injuries.
Investigators say there are no signs either driver was speeding.

"Honey, an ABC News Film Crew is Coming on Monday …"
This post is written by Liz Bell, mother of Tyler Bell, who was recently featured in an ABC World News Today segment on preparing adolescents with autism for adulthood. Liz is married to Peter Bell, Autism Speaks Executive Vice President of Programs and Services. They have two other children, Derek and Avery. Liz is a member of the Autism Speaks Family Services Committee and was the primary author of the School Community Tool Kit. In addition, she serves on the Parent Advisory Committee for the Autism Speaks Transition Tool Kit which is under development and scheduled to be launched this fall. Liz is also a representative on the New Jersey Governor's Council for Medical Research and Treatment for Autism.
Great, we might share the intense teaching and planning required in making the future of a young man with autism a little less uncertain. We can highlight the variable needs of this growing tide of soon-to-be adults with autism.
But "yikes!" How will my 17-year-old son behave in front of complete strangers with a camera in his face all day? What if this complicated message gets garbled, highlighting the challenges but not the gifts, the needs but not the opportunities?
Thankfully, Tyler greeted that camera with a grin on his face, and followed the flow of a familiar daily schedule in his hard working, innocent way. The ABC team turned eight hours of filming into a three-minute segment that helps to profile the needs of young people like Tyler, and hopefully initiates consideration of their place in the world. Now online, the story has sparked a conversation, which is a great thing.
But we need to keep talking. Some online comments outline the variable needs of the autism population – from college graduates who have trouble keeping a job to complex children with no language and few functional skills. We need options for all individuals on this broad spectrum. Other comments offer traditional 'solutions.' He can get Medicaid, sign up for get SSI, set up a special needs trust. True, these programs may provide some money, until it runs out, but how do you maximize its ability to provide a meaningful life, to establish supports that will take over once we are gone? You can place him in a sheltered workshop or a group home. Perhaps an option for the handful of individuals for whom there is space and funding, but this old model of isolated care won't accommodate all of our kids…or be what they want. And that is the part of the conversation that we really need to move forward. How do we create the systems, opportunities and community mindset that will allow all individuals with autism the right to be safe, but also engaged, fulfilled and happy?
During that day of filming, while the rest of us were self conscious, for Tyler the camera was superfluous. But the cameraman was not, quickly noticing that, despite how hard it clearly is for Tyler to learn, he exhibits pride in accomplishment. For him, competence breeds confidence, so we teach him skills that make him feel useful and valued. We strive to fulfill his needs for humor, exercise, beauty, and joy. We want to develop a future that will allow Tyler to grow, not just to be taken care of, and to flourish.
Visioning this is a lot of responsibility for a parent, so we employed group brainstorming in a MAPS session, expertly facilitated by Dave Hasbury of Neighbours, Inc., where we explored Tyler's strengths, likes, and possible opportunities, to keep us working in what we hope to be the right direction. We are heartened by a team of people who now have a shared perspective of where he might go.
But it is still mostly up to us to make it happen. We learn as we go. We build on strengths and we layer on, tiny step by tiny step, experiences and skills that help to create more independence, more joy. We immerse Tyler in the world and build a community that better understands him. We look to what motivates Tyler, and find ways to use his gifts to provide meaningful contributions to society and a sense of belonging. We reach out for help.
Last year, we asked the friendly owners of our local Rita's Water Ice store if Tyler might have a volunteer job. We explained that job sampling is a big factor in strategizing for Tyler's future. Since they had already opened their hearts to Tyler as a frequent customer, they gave him a Rita's hat and the chance for us to work with him, as he worked for them. This year, it's a paid job – just an hour or so a week, but an opportunity to punch a clock, have a boss and be 'professional.' Does he do the same work as the other teenagers there? No, but they value his smile, the fact that he joins them in dancing when they are so moved, and that he doesn't pull out his phone to text in the middle of his shift. Yes, these are gifts, as is the perspective of Tyler's Rita's bosses, who recognize and celebrate his contributions.
And so Tyler earns a paycheck, the most important predictor of paid work after graduation. But he doesn't work for that – it's his favorite Cotton Candy water ice that compensates him for a job well done. And his pride.
After the filming, the rest of our family decided that we aren't cut out for reality TV – life is complicated enough without having to turn off a mic to use the bathroom. But we would like to continue to be part of this conversation, in visioning meaningful lives for all families living with autism. After all, our children have a right to an amazing future.

Hi all
Where do the autosaved files get saved?
I am running QCAD 3 on Linux. I made sure to turn on autosave, and set it to save every 2 minutes. My machine just crashed, and when I restarted QCAD and re-opened my drawing, it was a version from about 1 hour ago.
How can I get back the autosaved version?

About the Book
"[An] engrossing story...endearing and memorable."
—Boston Herald
"[An] arresting hybrid of mystery, fairy tale, and historical novel."
—Detroit Free Press
"A tale so movingly told that you will say at the end of the first reading, 'It's been a long time since I've read a book this good.'" <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
—Nashville Tennessean
Gregory Maguire proves himself to be "one of contemporary fiction's most assured myth-makers" (Kirkus Reviews) with Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, his ingenious and provocative retelling of the timeless Cinderella fairy tale. Perhaps best known for his dark and breathtaking Oz series The Wicked Years—including the novel Wicked, which inspired the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical—Maguire is a master at upending the ordinary to help us see the familiar in a brilliant new light.
Is this new land a place where magics really happen?
From Gregory Maguire, the acclaimed author of Wicked, comes his much-anticipated second novel, a brilliant and provocative retelling of the timeless Cinderella tale.
In the lives of children, pumpkins can turn into coaches, mice and rats into human beings.... When we grow up, we learn that it's far more common for human beings to turn into rats....
We all have heard the story of Cinderella, the beautiful child cast out to slave among the ashes. But what of her stepsisters, the homely pair exiled into ignominy by the fame of their lovely sibling? What fate befell those untouched by beauty . . . and what curses accompanied Cinderella's exquisite looks?
Extreme beauty is an affliction
Set against the rich backdrop of seventeenth-century Holland, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister tells the story of Iris, an unlikely heroine who finds herself swept from the lowly streets of Haarlem to a strange world of wealth, artifice, and ambition. Iris's path quickly becomes intertwined with that of Clara, the mysterious and unnaturally beautiful girl destined to become her sister.
Clara was the prettiest child, but was her life the prettiest tale?
While Clara retreats to the cinders of the family hearth, burning all memories of her past, Iris seeks out the shadowy secrets of her new household--and the treacherous truth of her former life.
God and Satan snarling at each other like dogs.... Imps and fairy godmotbers trying to undo each other's work. How we try to pin the world between opposite extremes!
Far more than a mere fairy-tale, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister is a novel of beauty and betrayal, illusion and understanding, reminding us that deception can be unearthed--and love unveiled--in the most unexpected of places.

i am not aware of anyone dying due to a holster malfunction. usually they just end up with a wicked leg piercing lol. i own a serpa, but my gun has a safety and a decocker. even with the safety off my first shot still has a 9lb trigger. heck we have had sheriffs here in the valley shoot themselves. most people just arent willing to learn the proper ways to use things, whether its a gun and holster, or a ******* with a chainsaw.

The NRA would say, "SERPA holsters don't kill people, people kill people." :-)
Man at a gun show is accidentally shot. Some might call this ironic; others, however, might simply say that it is mother nature doing what she does best - trying to weed out stupid people through survival of the fittest. She stays real busy in WV.

if i had to take a wild guess, i would say it probably involved a SERPA holster. those holsters are very dangerous for certain guns, like 1911's and glocks. they have a button you have to push to release the gun, that sometimes may require you to push down on your gun , which in a 1911 disengages the grip safety, and then a lot of people curl their finger while pushing the button down which then goes through the trigger guard upon withdrawl and ends up firing a round into a leg or foot if the gun doesnt have a manual safety, or a heavy trigger.
look up glock leg, serpa holsters, tex grebner.
