Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now the sixth leading cause of death among Americans. There is currently no treatment that alters the course of this disease. However, an increasing amount of evidence suggests that changes in the way the body handles iron and other metals like copper and zinc may start years before the onset of AD symptoms. A study using rabbits shows that reducing iron levels in blood plasma may protect the brain from changes related to AD.

Researchers may have found a new way to treat pancreatic tumors, one of the deadliest and most drug-resistant forms of cancer. Injecting mice with a molecule that melts the tough structure around the tumor allowed a standard chemotherapy drug to better penetrate and destroy cancer cells. The strategy is already being tested in people.

Notre Dame Revives Bid for Injunction Over Contraception
The University of Notre Dame is trying again to get a court injunction so it can stop covering contraception for its employees, following a favorable Supreme Court order in a similar case.
Notre Dame struck out once at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit last year. Then the Supreme Court last week blocked the federal government from enforcing the contraception requirement against the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Roman Catholic nonprofit that operates homes for the elderly poor.
On Tuesday, Notre Dame filed a new request to the Seventh Circuit, saying the Supreme Court's order suggests the university is also entitled to a stay while litigation continues.
The 2010 health law requires most employers to include birth control in employees' health coverage without out-of-pocket costs. Under an election-year compromise crafted by the Obama administration, religiously affiliated employers with objections to contraception can arrange for insurers to assume responsibility for covering it.
Catholic nonprofits have said the compromise is inadequate to shield them from facilitating actions they believe to be immoral. Notre Dame is the only religiously affiliated nonprofit suing the government that didn't get a temporary injunction from the courts.
Officials at the South Bend, Ind., university have said they have complied with the provision as required by the Seventh Circuit. Notre Dame has told Meritain, its health insurance administrator, to contact employees with details of how it would provide contraception coverage until the case is resolved.
The Little Sisters of the Poor won a temporary reprieve from Justice Sonia Sotomayor on New Year's Eve, followed by the full court decision last week. The government says the accommodation is adequate and that the law does not place burdens on the order.
Oral arguments on the merits of the Notre Dame case are scheduled in Chicago for Feb. 12. Since the university filed its lawsuit, three female students have been allowed to intervene and argue alongside the government that the school should not be allowed to invoke its religious beliefs to block women from receiving government benefits.
The students, known as Jane Doe 1, Jane Doe 2, and Jane Doe 3, approached Americans United for Separation of Church and State to represent them, said Ayesha Khan, their lawyer. Ms. Khan said the advocacy group may also seek to add a female professor at the school to the proceedings.

Not at all good product.I purchased this product from Flipkart with complete warranty.But with in one week its right speaker stopped functioning and now both stopped.I called Dell customer care and they informed me that it is because of VLC media player which allows you to play more than 100% volume and they are not ready to replace speakers in warranty period.After checking in Dell community forum I found that this problem is not only faced by me there are some more customers who are facing it.I suggest you to don't go for this product.

Early Childhood
Research has demonstrated the benefits of pre-K and early childhood educational programs. Yet, despite overwhelming evidence of its importance for educational success, most 3- and 4-year-olds in the United States do not have access to publicly funded programs. Quality child care that includes developmental and educational components must be made more accessible. Head Start and other Early Education initiatives deserve increased support at the federal, state and local levels.

Molly Raphael - Libraries: Essential for Learning, Essential for Life
All Library locations will be closed on Monday, September 5, for Labor Day.
Wednesday, October 5, 2011
6:30pm @ Central Library
American Library Association President Molly Raphael explains why current social and economic conditions are forcing libraries of all types to change rapidly in order to survive.
How can libraries be positioned not just to survive but to thrive? What difficult choices will have to be made in the next few years so that patrons continue to value the services libraries provide? How can libraries ensure that they are seen as both essential for learning and for life in the communities they serve?
The event is being held in association with the 2011 annual conference of the Missouri Library Association.

SAN JOSE -- As employees emptied out the old Orchard Supply Hardware store near downtown, they left behind an old wall safe about six feet high and three feet wide.
"Nobody knows what's inside," store manager Richard Coombs said. "Its' like the Winchester Mystery House."
Set up like a maze, Sarah Winchester's Victorian home across town harkens to a time when agriculture drove Santa Clara Valley's economy. As Orchard Supply opens a new flagship store this weekend next to the one built in 1946 , it won't look anything like a maze. And it certainly won't cater to farmers or even suburbanites, but to the urban worker bees of technology living in a far different city.
"We cater each store to its neighborhood now," Coombs said, echoing the mantra of Orchard Supply's new, corporate management. "We're going after the backyard, hardware and garden market."
Orchard has been a fixture in the Bay Area since 1931, when a group of orchardists formed a cooperative two miles away on Bassett Street to share resources and survive the Great Depression. After incorporation in the late 1950s, several ownership changes and flip-flopping marketing schemes, Orchard Supply filed for bankruptcy and was sold last year to Lowe's, the giant home-improvement retailer.
Across the street, members of the Delmas Park Neighborhood Action Coalition fretted. Lowe's had agreed to buy only 60 of Orchard's 91 stores. The group had lobbied City Hall for years to clean up vacant lots, build more townhouses, apartment and retail shops. Losing the hardware store would slow down the plan.
Neighbors were relieved when Orchard's new management quickly announced plans to build a new flagship store on the same lot.
"I can tell you the neighborhood is very excited about it," said Phil Hood, president of the neighborhood group. He sees the new Orchard as one of the crucial pieces for a resurgent "Midtown," where developers are putting up hundreds of new apartments and where City Hall hopes some day to see a ballpark for the Oakland Athletics, if baseball officials ever allow it.
Company spokesman Mark Williams said the neighborhood is shaping up to become an ideal customer base. But the company can't relax yet. Some retail analysts wonder if there really is a lucrative niche for Orchard between big-box Lowe's and Home Depot and smaller hardware stores like Ace. Lowe's bet $205 million on that niche when it bought the Orchard chain.
When customers walk into the new San Jose Midtown store during the grand opening this weekend, they'll find a much bigger, 37,000 square-foot store with a 12,000 square-foot, outdoor nursery. The building has wide aisles set up in "race track" style and an extremely tall ceiling with exposed beams. An interior brick facade harkens back to when San Jose was the brick-producing powerhouse of the Bay Area, and a kiosk featuring 1930's tool boxes and photos adds to the historic touch.
History oozes around the site of the company's original store. In 1927, future baseball Hall of Famers Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Ty Cobb played next door at Sodality Park during their famous barnstorming tour of the West Coast. Three-thousand fans went wild when the Babe hit a home run in the ninth inning at that old ballpark, which was at what is now the parking lot for the new store.
Instead of trees, the new store's nursery is mostly filled with read-to-go, potted plants. A best seller already is a small, electric grill perfectly engineered for barbecuing on the tiny patios of high-density apartment and condo buildings.
Some customers who showed up for the informal "soft-opening" on Wednesday liked what they saw at the new Midtown stores.
Dustin and Lorraine Gonzalez seem to fit Orchard's customer profile perfectly. They're both 33, have a house in the quaint Rose Garden neighborhood with a cozy backyard, and a 2-year-old daughter.
"Shopping is more personal here and they have what we want," Lorraine Gonzalez said. "And it's closer to us than the closest Lowe's." The young couple did not leave with a load of lumber and cement, either. They bought one potted plant, a Tiki torch and lighter fluid for the backyard.
A few minutes later, representing the older side of the urban market, 85-year-old Larry Lemus purchased a small, propane tank for his barbecue grill.
"First time I came here to buy something I was 19," said Lemus, who has a house in the old, compact Burbank neighborhood. "I buy little things -- tools, fix-up things and plants." Orchard employee Morar Patel is one of about 80 employees who moved over from the old flagship store to the new one. Born in India in 1930, he's one year older than Orchard Supply. After a career in wholesaling in Africa, he immigrated to America in 1987 and soon landed a job with Orchard.
"Prices are a bit higher here," he said, shrugging his ex-wholesaler's shoulders at the new challenge. "But our customers, they come in here and they know what they want. If they can enjoy the experience, they'll come back. That's the main thing." Orchard's new San Jose Midtown store will kick off the weekend grand opening at 6:30 a.m. Saturday with a traditional board cutting by manager Coombs, dedication by Mayor San Jose Chuck Reed and Orchard president Richard Maltsbarger, and music by the Lincoln High School jazz band.
As for the mysterious old safe in the former building, it will stay there until the company figures out how to open it in public.

So long to the Boston accents I've enjoyed hearing all week
Boston accents make a greater variety of distinctions between short and long vowels before medial than many other modern American accents do: Boston accents maintain the distinctions between the vowels in marry , merry , and Mary , hurry and furry , mirror and nearer , though some of these distinctions are somewhat endangered as people under 40 in neighboring New Hampshire and Maine have lost them.

I gulped down panic as I took one look at the steep Snowflex ramp that flows into a kicker inside The Barn at Woodward at Copper.
Granted, the other side of the kicker was a foam pit. I'd been told it's almost more fun to land in the foam than in powder, but I wasn't sure I believed it - yet. By the way, Snowflex is a makeshift snow surface made of synthetic directional material. It's meant for strapping on your skis or board and, well, sending it.
Stepping into the foreign environment that is Woodward at Copper for their One Hit Wonder orientation session, I really wasn't sure what to expect. I'd assured Copper staff that the Woodward at Copper coaches would have a stress case on their hands.
Don't get me wrong.
I love to ski, and have been told I'm pretty darn good at it. I like tearing through mogul fields after my patrol-worthy friends and family, and weaving through tight trees to get a spray of powder a few days after the storm. The marks on my helmet show it.
The thing is, I've been terrified of anything that sends me into the air ever since I snapped my right-knee ACL in 2005 and was down for the count. I was still recovering with a knee brace when I headed off for studies in Sydney, Australia - a real bummer.
So, little did these Woodward coaches know what was going through my mind as I stepped into the awesome arena that is The Barn.
Standing on the spring mat, I eyed the corner where brave souls were bouncing away on trampolines and throwing tricks I might not even execute in my dreams. Behind me, skateboarders took advantage of the park features built into the indoor facility. On the other side of the gym, the hulking Snowflex jump - and it's associated rail park and cliff drop - seemed immense and threatening.
On the other hand, little did I know that pretty soon, I'd be sailing down that Snowflex ramp and launching off that kicker into the foam pit.
The key was progression. It's Woodward at Copper's buzz word.
It's what Woodward at Copper is all about: Start small with basic drills. Learn how to move to flip or backflip, how to fall if you need to bail, how to enter the foam pit and how to jump on the trampoline.
I was among those who sat out some of the spring mat exercises. Coaches Josh and Lauren showed the One Hit Wonder class, a group of first-timers who were in it for an hour and 45 minutes, safe and proper ways to flip, backflip, initiate a misty and more. Nervous and somewhat mentally unprepared (I tried to get "there" beforehand), I wasn't sure about making contact with the mat.
But within a half hour, I was throwing a front flip into the foam pit from the spring mat.
All I could think was, "Maybe there's something to this whole progression thing."
Josh and Lauren kept saying it, but more than just saying it, they showed it.
During that hour and a half, they moved the class through the different equipment, asking us to try various basic exercises on each. For those who were nervous (ehem, me), they showed alternative ways to execute the drills to gain comfort. By the end of the brief trampoline session, we were launching from the trampoline into the foam pit, some of the class members throwing tricks as they sailed, and all of us speaking words of encouragement to each other.
Me - I just practiced falling, because I'm pretty sure that's what I'd do out there in the snow anyway. Lauren assured me that, after some good practice, I'd probably be visualizing myself executing something in the terrain park, but that it would just take time. And what better way to practice than in a foam pit?
With about 45 minutes left in the crash course in terrain park practice, we geared up and moved to the Snowflex area.
Helmets are required, and skiers seem to have a bit more leeway that snowboarders on the Snowflex surface. With more edges to work with, and more positions to put them in (for example, the wedge works just fine on Snowflex), skiers can ride it out with less practice. Snowboarders, on the other hand, are more likely to catch an edge and have to undergo a bit more practice on how to recover from being unbalanced in their ongoing balancing act.
So here I was, after an hour-and-a-half of basic training, riding my skis down the monstrous, but not-so-threatening-anymore ramp and launching off the kicker below.
My reaction to all that: "Weird."
I never would have believed it possible for them to help me overcome my fears, or at least, some of them. But Woodward at Copper director Ben Brown and Copper marketing director Pete Woods were right: Progression helps. And practice only helps more.
Woods assured me that after a few drop-in sessions and a course in taking those skills outside, I'd be throwing a backflip in no time.

King James reigns
U-T staff agrees with Sports Illustrated: LeBron is Sportsman of the Year
Sports Illustrated has made some head-scratching picks for its Sportsman of the Year award in the past.
Like in 2009 when it picked Derek Jeter, who had a good season hitting .334, but far from his best, or even the best in the Major Leagues that season. That year, the magazine selected Jeter for what was clearly a lifetime achievement award over other deserving athletes such as San Diego's Jimmie Johnson, who had just won his fourth straight NASCAR title.
So this year we decided to double check SI's pick of LeBron James by having 18 members of our sports staff cast their own ballots. And we discovered something interesting ...
SI got it right.
1st place, 52 points, 6 first-place votes
LeBron James has been the country's most gifted athlete since the turn of the decade, and last June, he confirmed that he was its most dominant as well. But James didn't demonstrate this supremacy by squashing foes like ill-fated insects; he did it by ascending every time the Heat faced conquest — disintegrating his anti-clutch reputation in the process.
The best player since Jordan having his best season to date? Oh, and another Olympics gold medal, too. LeBron James, Athlete of the Year.
Slam Dunk.
Matt Calkins, who voted James first on his ballot
2nd place, 37 points, 3 first-place votes
Americans have always had a fascination with "The Fastest Man on Earth," the moniker given to the winner of the Olympic 100-meter dash. Bolt not only won the gold medal in that event at this summer's London Olympics, but also the 200-meter dash gold and the 4X100-meter relay gold. He is the first ever to win the 100 and 200 in consecutive Olympics. And he's not just the fastest man on earth, but the fastest man on earth ever — and it's not even close.
Todd M. Adams, who had Bolt first
19 points, 0 first-place votes
Those of us who were fortunate to watch Lionel Messi in 2012 can identify with those who witnessed Babe Ruth (60 homers) in 1927 or Wilt Chamberlain (50.4 points per game) in 1961-62. All these men took scoring — the element in which all sports are fundamentally judged by — to places unforeseen. Places previously believed to be humanly impossible.
Messi's record 86 goals in a calendar year for club and country is just as mind-bending.
Eddie Brown, who voted Messi second
19 points, 2 first-place votes
I know I am suspending some disbelief. Could Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera possibly have achieved baseball's first Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967 without being juiced with performance-enhancing drugs? I don't know, but until proven otherwise it is a feat at which to marvel. At 29, Cabrera led the American League in batting average (.330), RBI (139) and home runs (44), and he became the first third baseman and Latin player ever to seize the Triple Crown. Cabrera got the Tigers into the World Series for the first time in six years, though getting swept by the Giants took some of the shine off the crown.
Tod Leonard, who voted Cabrera first
11 points, 0 first-place votes
The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge's western span ends where catcher Buster Posey squats: AT&T Park.
The Giants' bridge from the regular season to a World Series? Posey has squatter rights there, too.
Posey returned from a leg injury to lead the Giants to their second title in three years. That the season they didn't raise the trophy coincided with Posey's absence isn't a lark.
Neither is Posey.
He was the National League MVP after hitting .336 to win the batting title in becoming the key to the Giants' lineup, as well as the heart-and-soul of team.
Jay Paris, who voted Posey second
No. 6. Serena Williams, 10 points, 2 first-place votes
No. T7. Peyton Manning, 9 points, 1 first-place vote
No. T7. Missy Franklin, 9 points, 1 first-place vote
No. 9. Eli Manning, 8 points
No. 10. Mike Trout, 6 points, 1 first-place vote
No. 11. Michael Phelps, 5 points
No. 12. Gabby Douglas, 3 points
U-T's rules: Each of the 18 members polled gave their top 5 choices. We awarded points college football poll style, 5 points for a first-place vote, 4 points for second, etc. To be eligible, an athlete must have appeared on more than one ballot.

Google Aims to Make Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal Power
December 5, 2007
Can a company that built its reputation on software tools and computer server farms parlay that expertise into a clean energy revolution? Google believes that it can. The company plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on both renewable energy research and development and related investments in 2008, with the goal of making renewable energy less expensive than coal power. That goal is embodied in the name of the new initiative, "RE<C," which will initially focus on advanced solar thermal power, wind power, enhanced geothermal systems, and other potential breakthrough technologies. RE<C is currently hiring engineers and energy experts to achieve those goals.
RE<C will be part of Google's commercial enterprise, but it will also work with Google's philanthropic arm, Google.org. Google.org is currently teamed up with two companies that could have potential for RE<C: eSolar, Inc., which envisions combining many 25-megawatt solar power tower facilities to form large solar power plants; and Makani Power Inc., which envisions capturing high-altitude winds through some type of aerial wind turbine. See the Google press release, the Google Clean Energy Web page, and the Web sites for eSolar and Makani Power.

Cherokee offer bounty for killing coyotes
Published: Monday, November 12, 2012 at 7:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 12, 2012 at 7:44 a.m.
CHEROKEE, N.C. (AP) — The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians in western North Carolina is offering bounty payments of $25 for each coyote carcass that is turned into the tribe.
The tribe is offering the money to try to protect white-tailed deer on the reservation. Money will only be paid for coyotes that have been shot, not trapped.
Tribal wildlife manager Robert Blankenship says coyotes are the main predator for deer fawn and other wildlife in the area.
Blankenship said the tribe began a white-tailed deer reintroduction program two years ago. Land was planted with winter peas, clover, turnips and other plants where the animals could forage.
He says the deer population in the area had been declining previously.
Bounties are not offered for coyotes outside the reservation.

Behind the Small-Package Success Story
Single-serve packages are a hit in India and other poor nations, where shoppers buy sachets of shampoo for just pennies per day. Such purchases are popular because they allow low-income consumers to meet their immediate household and hygiene needs. But because per unit profit margins for single-serve packages are higher than those for larger packages, critics complain that these products impose a poverty penalty.
But not all experts agree that catering to low-income consumers is the only reason companies should sell daily portions of products. Taking a cue from C. K. Prahalad, author of the best-seller Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, which salutes the single-serve practice, Professors Rajeev Kohli and Oded Koenigsberg and PhD student Ricardo Montoya asked if only low prices lured consumers toward smaller-size packages. If not, they hypothesized, the single-serve model might produce profits over the long run in certain markets.
One example of the single-serve trend can be found in Brazil, where roving makeup saleswomen sell daily portions of lotions with higher per unit prices to women of all wage levels. The fact that such single servings are popular irrespective of buyers' incomes, the researchers surmised, suggested that package sizes closely matching consumers' daily needs might prove more popular than supersize ones in emerging economies.
The fact that these products sold well at all wage levels refutes the poverty-penalty accusation, says Kohli, because it suggests that consumers care less about paying the lowest cost and more about finding products that best meet their immediate, tangible needs. Thus, though a premium may be imposed for single-serve purchases, the prevalence of these smaller-size, higher-margin packages does not necessarily translate to exploitation of the poor. "Wealth does not necessarily dictate lower-cost purchases," Kohli explains.
This line of thinking also suggests that the continued availability of single-serve packages in poor countries might be wise, even if household incomes rise and a desire for convenience or variety of package sizes grows. Other successful examples of the single-serve trend include 100-calorie snack packs in the United States and Europe's practice of selling goods perceived as harmful — cigarettes, for example — in smaller quantities.
Offering single-serve packages may be a profitable strategy for manufacturers, the researchers found, as long as ordering and order-processing costs remain low and the volume of sales of single servings offset what companies typically save by selling fewer, larger-size packages. Clustering the market according to consumption also allows more market segmentation. Finally, by projecting demand over time, the researchers determined that some consumers of smaller-size packages will continue to purchase them for some time, based on this buy-only-what-you-will-use rationale. Other consumers may trade up to larger packages, in line with their larger salaries, if their behavior follows the observed Western norm.
To pinpoint other reasons consumers might buy single servings, the researchers built a model based on a monopolist selling a product with a limited shelf life. The study assumed buyers would pay a premium price for a small quantity of a perishable good to avoid wasting money on a portion of a product that might ultimately be unusable. Kohli, Koenigsberg and Montoya factored in consumption rates and consumers' willingness to pay. Doing so, they theorized, might point to a profit penalty, or the possibility that single-serve packages would not sell as well if their per unit prices were high.
Overall, the researchers found that demand for a given quantity of a single-serve package falls with its price and size, increases with its shelf life and grows for consumers needing a smaller volume of a certain good. In addition, profits from products sold to those buying no more than they needed could more than make up for profits lost from those buying more than they could use. As a result, if transaction costs — such as product storage, transport and travel or delivery time — remain low in markets where small-size packages sell well, manufacturers may want to continue serving that niche, even when incomes rise.
Selling in small quantities can also increase total sales of a given good, decrease product waste and result in higher profit because of the higher per unit prices of smaller-size units, the research showed. "Convenience, quality and assortment may be more important than cost for some consumers," Kohli says. "Poverty is not the only reason that small packages make sense."

out of body experience...feedback needed
i posted this on another board a little while ago. just wanted to see what y'all thought about it here. ILL shit is happening to me. read on:
so a couple nights ago i was lying on my bed and closed my eyes and started to imagine myself rotating or kind of wobbling along the axis that goes from my head to my feet. I had heard this was kind of the way to have a lucid dream or some shit, and i'd been practicing at school by putting my head down and imagining i was on a roller coaster. It was just when I started to really lose control that I opened my eyes and stopped. just before you break, you feel like you're falling out of your body which is hella frightening and hard to ignore. This kept tripping me up for the longest time. finally, I did manage to get beyond that and this fucked up stuff happened.
the falling sensation lasted for a second, if that, and then I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was sitting on the edge of the bed. then i turned my head and looked down to see that I was sitting next to myself and just that image jarred me enough to wake me up and break the trance or whatever the hell i should call it, but now I knew that something really strange was happening. The next time i went through the process, i opened my eyes and stood up and my body was still lying on the bed, breathing slowly. i started looking around the room, trying to notice details that I could check later when I was awake. Walking over to the bookshelf, I tried to memorize the order of books, whether the spine was pointing up or down, etc. the room was dark, but I was able to make out a lot of details. to wake up, I would just breathe sharply and that seemed to jar me back. much of what I recalled from my dream or trance corroborated what my room was like. I tried many more times successfully and started to get the hang of the process, but the strangest part was still on the way.
okay, now this is where it gets scary. last night i decided to try and leave my room. going into the trance(?), I fell out of my body and stood up in the room. I walked over to the wall and decided to step through it. i put my hand up against the wall, I leaned in and without any resistance, I suddenly found myself on the other side, standing in my sisters brightly lit room. she was sitting at her desk, drawing something on a sheet of paper. the funny thing is that whenever she would move, a shadow trace would smoothly follow whatever motion she made, kind of like a smokey afterimage. kinda like bruce lee swinging his arms in slow motion, and the kind of trail that leaves. my sister gets up and walks over to the cd player on the other side of the room. now, instead of seeing a shadow of her arms, a whole shadow trail of her body moved across the room a half a second behind her. The whispy form was connected to hher at all times and would catch up to her and disappear whenever she stopped moving. then, on her way back to the desk, the whispy form followed her, mirroring her motions exactly, except the head, which turned and looked straight at me as soon as i moved. that startled me enough to jar me back into my body
anyone have any kind of knowledge on this? someone want to tell me what the fuck happened? anyone had a similar experience?
sorry for the long read, but i needed to get this shit out there.

New Article on Defensible SpaceMay 27th, 2009
Did you know that in rural parts of California homeowners are required by law to have 100 feet of defensible space around their house? This is done to protect houses from wildfires and some level of defensible space is recommended virtually everywhere. These spaces are areas where vegetation has been removed so that wildfires will stop or slow down as they approach houses. Check out our new article on defensible space to find out more.

Whenever visitors see the historic auditorium of the Royal Opera House for the first time, it always amazes them.
Built in 1858 after the previous theatre burnt down, its splendid period character has been wonderfully preserved ever since. There are the rich red curtains of the stage, the stunning ceiling (which now hides very modern technology), the glittering gold of the proscenium arch, and the red and gold lights which replaced the old gas lamps! And enveloping it all is the historic atmosphere of a great world theatre alongside a dynamic working theatre of today. Now visitors can enjoy a special tour of the auditorium that focuses on the architecture and the story of the current theatre. Hear stories of the famous opera singers who have taken centre stage. See the Royal Retiring Room, still used by our Royal Patrons today.
Access: The tour route is fully accessible to wheelchair users. Please advise the Box Office at the time of booking if you have any access requirements. The ROH is a large building and lengthy corridors and stairs may need to be used on the tour route. There is no possibility of seating backstage during a backstage tour.

Have arcade games, will travel for fun
|Chris Juhl, owner of Games on the Go Palm Beach, sits inside his mobile arcade's bus. (Mark Randall/South Florida Sun Sentinel/MCT)
Games on the Go Palm Beach is a bright red RV filled with about a dozen video game stations, from an old-school Pac-Man arcade machine to a large touch screen to play Fruit Ninja, a popular game also played on smartphones and tablets.
It cruises around town taking the games to birthday parties, fundraisers, schools, corporate and community events. Games on the Go Palm Beach officially launched in September. It celebrated a ribbon cutting ceremony in October.
The new business is a franchise of a Deerfield Beach, Fla.-based company, Games on the Go. Juhl hired the Deerfield mobile arcade last year for his son's 10th birthday. He said his son, and himself, liked it so much he wanted to be part of it.
"My 10-year-old said 'this is the best thing ever,'" Juhl said. "I thought what a wonderful business. Everyone is happy to see you and they pay you money."
Though start-up costs can be quite "intensive."
"You're basically buying another house," Juhl said, investing about $45,000 of his own money and financing the rest of the nearly $200,000 needed to get the RV rolling.
The Boynton Beach resident said business has been slow since its launch, but is hopeful it will pick up in upcoming months.
Games on the Go Palm Beach charges range from $600 for a 2-hour minimum, $950 for four hours and $1,400 for a whole day. Special rates are available for tax-exempt organizations, churches, schools and other groups, Juhl said.
Karl Wahlfrid has booked the Palm Beach franchise twice, once for his son's birthday and then a second time for the Opening Day of the East Boynton Little League, which he coaches.
"The kids loved it," Wahlfrid said.
He said it was the most popular attraction on Opening Day. "We had bounce houses, but they were all going for the games."
Terry Shea, founder and president of Games on the Go, said the Palm Beach franchise is the first for his company, which was founded in 2006.
"I feel like Santa Claus every time we drive up to a party," Shea said. "I'm putting smiles in kids' faces. It doesn't get any better than that."

That said, should your man be the clumsy type, a big thorny cactus may not be such a good idea. In that case succulents are another thoroughly masculine plant and what guy wouldn't love a terrarium? Especially one that features a tiny blood-soaked zombie rising from the grave. "

A Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring CT Scan takes pictures of the heart. The pictures are more detailed than a typical x-ray. The pictures focus on the arteries supplying blood to the heart (coronary arteries). In the early stages of heart disease, calcium along with soft plaque may accumulate within the walls of the coronary arteries. The Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring CT Scan can detect and measure the extent of the calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This may help determine an early diagnosis of heart disease. Your doctor will use this information to determine the best treatment for you.
There is no specific preparation for this test.
The radiology technologist will explain the Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring CT Scan to you before you start. Ask questions if you don't understand. Before the test you will need to remove all clothing and jewelry from the waist up. You will be given a hospital gown to wear. You will be asked to lie on the CT scan table. You will have EKG leads placed on your chest to monitor your heart. The technologist will give you instructions during the test. You will also be asked to hold your breath and lie still for 10 to 12 seconds while the CT scanner takes pictures of your heart. The CT scan is not painful but does provide a small amount of radiation exposure.
A Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring CT Scan takes about 20 minutes. This includes 15 minutes for the test and 5 minutes for preparation.
Your appointment is in the Institute for Advanced Biomedical Imaging (Radiology). You will be directed where to go when you check in. If you have any questions you can contact Advanced Biomedical Imaging (Radiology) at 303.398.1611.

Eating fresh off the farm
Published: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:15 a.m.
A trio of sponsors put together an event to show families, especially children, the origins of good food.
Hyatt Regency Sarasota and The Three Kitcheneers helped organize the free healthy-eating event that was hosted by King Family Farm in Bradenton.
Hyatt Chef Leo Gianulis oversaw the cooking using nutritious, flavorful, fresh local farm produce.
Guests sampled a selection of menu items at three stations. They were treated to a taste of what is to come as the Hyatt introduces its new "For Kids By Kids" menu.
In addition to sampling food straight from the farm to fork, families enjoyed the mild fall weather and visited with each other at tables set under oak trees. Some took a hay ride tour of the farm.
Children picked fresh flowers, planted their own seeds to grow, made crafts, pet animals on the farm and climbed trees.
King Family Farm offers tours for families and schools at its property, 4630 Caruso Road, Bradenton. For more information, call Shelby King at 779-5591 or visit www.kingfamilyfarmandmarket.com.

With utter clarity, George Maher can remember the first time he tried to get his Eagle Scout award. It was March 10, 1944, and he was three days short of his 17th birthday. The scene was the fourth floor of a school building in Queens.
Maher had all the merit badges. But halfway through his board of review, an assistant scoutmaster for Troop 120 interrupted the meeting. Maher's mother and uncle were at the door. Maher's father, Patrick, was at the hospital with urgent heart problems. The elder Maher died that evening.
Within a month, Maher enlisted in the Navy to fight in World War II. His dreams of becoming an Eagle Scout were delayed for 68 years. Early next month in Palo Alto, that oversight will be corrected. The story is worth telling.
Few organizations -- the Catholic Church is one -- get worse coverage today than the Boy Scouts. It's largely self-inflicted. The national organization's stance toward gays defies one of the most significant political and cultural movements of our time.
But as an Eagle Scout myself -- and the father of one -- I can tell you I've never seen the issue of sexual orientation play any role in the camping and hiking at the heart of scouting. For me and my son, the experience taught volumes in patience and leadership.
An engineer's career
George Maher, still a fit man at 85, studied at San Francisco State College after the war and worked as an engineer for PG&E, settling in Redwood City. He then did a stint with the Red Cross. For the last 25 years, he has volunteered at scout offices, where he processes Eagle applications.
He thought about going back for his own Eagle. He once sent off a letter to New York scouting authorities that was returned marked "addressee unknown.'' It wasn't until a conversation early this year with Mark Manchester, the development director of the scouts' Pacific Skyline Council, that wheels turned.
Manchester had casually asked when Maher got his Eagle. And Maher told him the story. "It kept gnawing at us,'' Manchester said. "I had to at least make a phone call.''
Maher might never have made the final hurdle had he not kept records of all his merit badges. Even then, he faced a problem. He was missing the card showing he was a Life Scout, the rank below Eagle.
As it happened, he had a decent excuse. In a massive storm off the Philippines in December 1944, Maher was nearly washed off the deck of his destroyer, the USS Prichett. When he pulled himself up, he was missing the wallet that held the Life card.
The storm is well-documented -- it is sometimes called "Halsey's Typhoon,'' after Admiral William Halsey. So word arrived from Scout authorities. Maher was entitled to get his Eagle. As one of the oldest Eagle recipients ever, he'll get his badge on Jan. 6 in a Boy Scout ceremony. The certificate will say March 10, 1944.
"When Mark told me it had come, I was shocked,'' Maher told me. "It shows me the people in charge of scouting follow through on things. If they determine you actually earned something, you should get it. I still find it hard to believe.''

I'm using PMS on an unraid NAS box with numerous clients (iPhone, ipad, ps3 etc.) The majority of my devices see the PMS and function as normal in streaming the media (video mainly) off my NAS.
However my iPad seems to be having problems. Whenever a new video is put into the video folder on my NAS, the iPad does not show the new video nor any associated new folders that may have been created for the video. I'm currently using goodplayer and airplayer to stream video to my iPad.
Now here's the strange part. Using the exact same 2 apps (goodplayer and airplayer) on my iPhone I can stream my entire library (including any new videos) no problems, just like any other device in the house. This leads me to believe the problem lies somewhere between the communication between PMS and the iPad.
Anyone able to shed some light on this issue?

New study
Breast cancer patients who receive radiation therapy often suffer from inflammation linked to the treatment. Austrian Apeiron Biologics AG is now developing a topical superoxide dismutase treatment (APN201) to try to help these women. The Viennese company has begun a further clinical trial at the University of Graz with 20 patients that have received radiation after breast surgery. APN201 was developed by Polymun Scientific AG, another biotech company based in Vienna. Apeiron inlicensed the compound, which has already completed several clinical trials, the most advanced in Phase II. The human enyzme superoxide dismutase is essential for protecting human cells from damage by reactive oxygen species that are created through radiation.

Wimbleton Spat: Williams, Sharapova trade volleys
Serena Williams of the U.S., right, shakes hands with Russia's Maria Sharapova, left, after defeating Sharapova in two sets 6-4, 6-4, in the women's final of the French Open tennis tournament, at Roland Garros stadium in Paris, Saturday June 8, 2013. (AP Photo/Michel Spingler) by Howard Fendrich LONDON (AP) — As her agent nodded along approvingly from a front-row seat, Serena Williams sounded contrite and composed. Well-rehearsed, too. Williams even managed to crack herself up with a couple of jokes during her news conference at Wimbledon as the defending champion, where the primary topic was hardly her 31-match winning streak or her bid for a sixth title at the All England Club or her injured sister Venus' absence from the field. Instead, more than half the questions at Sunday's session revolved around themes generating the most buzz on the eve of tennis' oldest and most prestigious Grand Slam tournament: what Williams was quoted as saying in a recent magazine article — and Maria Sharapova's surprisingly forceful verbal swipe in reaction to that story.

MARIETTA - A proposed sixth leg of Marietta's River Trail that would run from Indian Acres Park to an undetermined location in Devola has been on the city's docket before and may be back on the burner in the coming year or two.
"At one time, the city pursued an enhancement grant to connect from Butler Street... all the way out to Devola," said Marietta City Engineer Joe Tucker.
The project would have been a collaboration between Marietta, Washington County and Marietta Township, he added.
Although enhancement funds were available, "The city got snarled on right-of-way acquisitions," said Tucker. "The project didn't move forward very quickly and time started to run out on the grant."
Funding issues would remain key to getting a sixth phase of the project back in consideration again.
A letter of interest for alternative transportation funds, which would start the ball rolling on possible new funding for the trail's sixth leg, would be due Feb. 1, Tucker said.
"Maybe a realistic goal would be to shoot for Feb. 1, 2014, for a letter of interest," he added.
Of course much more would be involved in making the project reality.
"You need to have all of your right of way either secured or 90 some percent squared away" in order to be considered for grant monies, said Tucker.
In the meantime, Tucker's department has its "plate full" with the construction of the River Trail's third phase next year.
The Ohio Department of Transportation awarded construction of the trail's third leg-to run 0.97 miles of trail at a cost just under $1.096 million-to Shelly & Sands Inc.
"It will extend the current trail... to essentially near the intersection of East Eighth Street and Jefferson Street by the waste water plant," said Tucker.
Because the Washington County commissioners have collaborated with the city of Marietta on other projects, county commissioner Tim Irvine said "If a proposal (for Phase 6) was presented, I'm sure that we would consider it."
Although newly-elected county commissioner David White has no say in how Washington County spends its money until he assumes his position in January, he said the only way he would support such a project would be if grant monies were involved.
"These are expensive projects," he said.
According to Tucker, the "vast majority" of construction for Phase 6 would be outside city limits.
"In my opinion, the project champion should be either someone from the county or the township to take the lead on the project, with the city to assist on our portion," he said.
City involvement in the maintenance of existing and future phases of the River Trail are also in the works, said Councilman Roger Kalter, D-1st Ward.
In the past, Kalter has noted maintenance concerns like some cracked, pitted and grooved areas of asphalt, as well as places where grass is growing up through the pavement.
A proposed $2,000 line item in Marietta's 2013 budget would address the cost of maintenance and repairs.
"We wouldn't think of not having a fund to maintain city streets," said Kalter. "This is the start of one for the River Trail."
Should the River Trail be extended to Devola, it "would provide a scenic path that (bikers) can take to downtown Marietta," said Andy Coleman, city of Marietta's development director. "Long-distance bikers tend to like trips that are 50 to 60 miles. That in turn helps spur the economic development of downtown Marietta from people spending the night here and eating here."
