Catching up with Kris Letang
Friday, 01.11.2013 / 3:11 PM
Michelle Crechiolo
Kris Letang didn't get back to Pittsburgh from Russia until around 4 a.m. this morning.
Kris Letang during Friday
's informal skate at So
The Penguins defenseman didn't get much sleep after landing and had to be up early to take care of his infant son, Alexander. But his travels didn't stop Letang from joining his Penguins teammates for their informal practice at Southpointe on Friday morning, where he looked great in drills during the roughly hour-long skate.
"We all missed it," Letang said of NHL hockey. "I'm happy to be back in Pittsburgh and have the chance to play another season."
Letang had a deal in place with SKA Saint Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League some time ago because of the work stoppage, and had spent a few days in Russia with his family to get acclimated with the team in case he decided to play there.
"The deal was done a long time ago," he said. "It was just a question of timing. Closer to the end, even if the lockout was closer to an end, they asked me to come anyway to check out the facility and the way they were managing the team. It was a good experience."
Letang spent the majority of these last nine months training in his native Montreal, except for about a week in October where he skated with his Penguins teammates at Southpointe before returning home to Quebec.
While there, Letang kept the same routine every day to stay ready. He skated with members of the Montreal Canadiens and other NHLers that were in town while working out off the ice with his usual trainer Jonathan Chaimberg.
Despite playing just 51 games last season due to injury, Letang had arguably the best season of his young career. The smooth-skating blueliner led the team's defensemen in scoring with 10 goals (tying his career high) and 42 points, and led the Penguins with a career-high plus-21 rating.
He also led the team in ice time per game (24:50) and topped team's defensemen in power-play minutes per game (4:05) while being named to his second NHL All-Star Game.
Letang believes the work he has done to stay fit will allow him to return to the elite level of play he's proven he can sustain in this league, even with a compressed 48-game schedule.
"I think the way I trained this summer and this winter is going to help me a lot to try to keep in shape during that schedule," he said.

Raiders starting D-line unites for first time
Allen on starters: 'They will get a few more reps than last week'
Lamarr Houston is expected to lead the Raiders defensive line, which recorded 25 sacks last year. (USA TODAY IMAGES)
NAPA -- The Raiders starting defensive line practiced together for the first time on Tuesday.
Injuries of varying severity kept the front four apart during this training camp, and hampered the team's pass rush and interior run defense during the preseason.
Defensive tackle Pat Sims was the last to return, after missing all but an hour of camp with a hamstring injury. Tackle Vance Walker returned on Monday from an undisclosed injury that sidelined him for most of camp. End Lamarr Houston also had an undisclosed injury that held him back nearly two weeks. By contrast, starting end Jason Hunter and pass-rushing specialist Andre Carter have remained healthy.
Those three haven't played in the preseason, and it's uncertain whether any of them will suit up Friday against the Chicago Bears.
Coach Dennis Allen will speak with the press after practice.

"Hello World"- Greetings from 64Bit Wine
This year's release of version 1.0 of the free runtime environment Wine is a milestone in itself. Developer Maarten Lankhorst has set another (experimental) stepping stone by getting the first 64Bit Windows program to run.
Lankhorst tells of the "first ever" start of a Windows 64Bit program under Linux, even if it is just a "Hello World" application. His thanks go to Kai Tietz, who was responsible for the extensive changes in the GCC.
A few of the hacks are still far from the mainline, writes Lankhorst, and despite his compiling a repository, it will take a number of patches and some subversion to get it to run properly. His advice is to not even try an installation. Yet.

I've looked through the other topics on this sort of question but couldn't find any resolve within them.
If you see it as I do (I'm using Chrome) you will notice that the Th, Fr, and Sat columns are all squished. I'm guessing because it's not in full-width template, but since it is not a page itself I am not sure of the direct way to fix this.
I would LOVE to have an extra link at the top (a page) that says Events that will link to the calendar itself: http://secularuh.org/?cat=8
But I just installed it and haven't been able to figure out how this would be done, since the events page generated itself.
Other than these few questions I must say that this is a VERY well made plugin with some great features. Thank you for your time.

Got questions about the new Seminary Environmental Certification Program?
We've got answers. Feel free to send any additional questions to email@example.com.
Frequently Asked Questions...
1. For seminaries which are part of a university, do we apply the standards to the entire campus or just to the seminary portion?
2. What does certification do to separate our school from the 55 seminaries listed on the website?
3. Are there a minimum # of people expected to serve on our school's Green Team?
4. Is the tuition fee for seminaries ($1,500 for pilot cohort / $3,000 for future) a one-time fee or annual?
...and Answers
1. It would only apply to the seminary or theological school.
2. Participating in the Certification Program will offer your school an opportunity for:
a) support and guidance to assess status and develop customized action plans around your own environmental efforts
b) regular interactions with other seminaries participating in the Certification Program, sharing strategies, struggles and successes, best practices, and new ideas. Overall, by participating in this program, seminaries benefit from a rich, supportive environment in which they are equipped to accomplish more than they would be able to do on their own.
3. Not specifically, however the success of the Program will hinge on representation from all segments of the seminary community - faculty, students, staff, and administration.
4. It is a one time fee which is good for all three years of the certification program. It also comes with a guarantee that your seminary will save at least that much in energy savings during that time.

This book covers ideas that are profound and affect everyone. It explains theories that concern the creation of the universe, time travel, light-speed travel, and many more topics. Imagine actually having some grasp of Einstein's general relativity. Ever heard of string theory? How might time travel actually be possible? What are these black holes of which I've heard? This book packs an incredible amount of information into its 248 pages, yet somehow is still easily read - this is the true marvel of this book.
The illustrated version is worth the extra money. It contains many updates and additions throughout the book by Hawking (including the time travel chapter!). Every (and I mean every) concept throughout the book is accompanied by at least one illustration - think about it: 240 color illustrations with only 248 pages!
Towards the middle of the book, some of the concepts get more complex (when he really gets into the details of sub-atomic particles). However, as a recent high school graduate, I can say with some level of certainty that the average person can understand 90% of this book - and those parts are the most interesting! It will change the way you look at the universe.
In summary, a fountain of information from galaxies and black holes to quantum mechanics presented in such a way that is not only as easy to understand as it can be, but is an enjoyable experience to read.
In this updated version, Hawking moves from time travel to black holes to general relativity, quantum mechanics and even string theory, he never fails to captivate and entrance, even though some of the theories are difficult to grasp.
The sections devoted to black holes and time travel are, in my view, the most interesting... putting a human slant of a highly theorical subject. With the addition of hundreds of amazing illustrations and photos, Hawking has made his revised book extremely readable and colorful, both comprehensive and comprehendable, as one reviewer put it.
An excellent introduction to relativity, big bang, and anything else you might have scratched your head about!
Hawking tries a little too hard to be witty at times (and punctuates all of his jokes with exclamation points! just in case you missed them!), but all-in-all, this was a quite readable account of what's presently known about cosmology. I use the term "presently" guardedly, as just recently there was some big finding about dark matter (it exists!), but from now on, when there are new findings in physics, I want Hawking to explain them to me, because I feel like then I might understand them. That's why you should read this book.
The reason you should not read this book is because you have no interest in wrestling with abstractions with which you will never interact in daily life, and would rather read about global warming or Darfur or something a bit more topical and practical. This was still a hard read, and I feel like I grasped maybe 80% of it. For you to decide, but for a former engineering student, this was something I wish I had read when I was taking physics.

With His Bawdy New CD, 'N Sync's JC Chasez Sings the Praises of Going Solo, in Music and in Love
In fact, what Chasez really dreams about most of the day is music. Stepping out of the 'N Sync mold on his eclectic CD Schizophrenic, he combines Prince-inspired come-ons, reggae ditties and synth pop that would make Devo proud. (Yes, boy-band fans, he belts out a couple of aching ballads as well.) Chasez (pronounced sha-ZAY) also wrote 16 of the 17 tracks and played keyboards on the album. "Some of the songs I think of when I'm in the shower," he says. "Some of them I'll think of when I'm falling into bed—I've got to get up and put this down! When I get bored, I'll zone out and I'll just sit in front of my computer and start writing any random song that comes to mind."
And sometimes they just happen to be exceedingly raunchy ("I just want to get close to you/Find out what it takes to move you/Feel the rhythm, hit the spot, getting hot/All night long"). "Here's the deal," says Chasez, 27. "When you write 30 songs, you have to pick so many, right? And of course, the ones that everybody likes are about sex. There's a whole pile of other songs sitting on the shelf that aren't about sex." He also shrugs off comparisons to buddy Justin Timberlake, the first 'N Syncer to go solo, with 2002's Justified. "J's had his time to breathe," says Chasez. "Now I'll have my time to run and play."
Playtime was rudely interrupted by the NFL's decision to ax his halftime gig at the Feb. 8 Pro Bowl after a certain "wardrobe malfunction" involving Timberlake and Janet Jackson. But Timberlake and Chasez quickly patched things up. "He cared enough to call to say he's really sorry. I told him I can't blame him for what's happened to me," says Chasez. Says Bass: "We call JC the daddy of the group because he's like the father figure, the mature one."
As a kid in suburban Bowie, Md., Joshua Chasez, nicknamed JC, "was a painfully shy whip of a boy," says second cousin and comanager Phil Baker-Shenk, 47. The oldest child (his sister Heather, 26, and brother Tyler, 22, are both students) of Roy Chasez, 52, a technology consultant, and his wife, Karen, 50, an editor, "stood out with his incredibly beautiful voice singing Christmas carols at family gatherings."
If Chasez's vocal skills gently nudged him into the spotlight, dancing cracked his shell wide open. At 13, he and pal Kacy Combs formed a coed dance troupe that won local contests with routines done to tunes by MC Hammer and New Kids on the Block. Their funky footwork eventually earned them third place at a 1991 national competition in Orlando, where Chasez ended up soon after with a spot on The Mickey Mouse Club with Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.
Success on a par with those multi-platinum Mouseketeers would be nice, but Chasez—who will join Spears for a week on her U.K. tour starting April 27—says he can do without a high-profile social life. "You're not going to see me throwing paparazzi around, doing excessive amounts of drugs or having a line of girls outside my room," he says. "I've seen enough Behind the Music to see that's a road to nowhere."
As for rumors that he dated Tara Reid, he says, "We were connected at the hip for a while, but we were buddies," adding that he doesn't traffic in movie circles anyway. "I don't need a Hollywood girl. They're crazy. If you're with an actress, you don't know who you're going to come home to every day." For now he's happily living single in an ivy-covered French chateau in Winter Park, Fla. "But I wouldn't mind a relationship with the right girl," he admits. "Every artist needs a muse."
These days he may need two: Chasez now has dual roles to fill as he kicks off a solo tour on April 19 and gears up to record a new album with 'N Sync later this year. For the record, he insists that being in a boy band in his late 20s is cool with him. "It's the fountain of youth," says Chasez with a laugh. "If I'm 40 and we're still playing shows, and people want to call us a boy band, by all means—drink from the fountain of youth!"

The Beauty of Padauk
- Jan . 9 . 2011 | Admin in category: Exotic Woods |
- Leave a Comment
The Beauty of Padauk
Padauk (Latin: Pterocarpus soyauxii) comes from central and tropical West Africa from South Western Nigeria all the way to Zaire. It also grows in Malaysia. The trees are known as Burma Padauk, Andaman (it grows in the Andaman Islands) and African Padauk.
Padauk's Aren't Climbing Trees!
The trees may reach a height of between 100 and 130 feet with a trunk diameter ranging from 24 inches to 60 inches. The boles are straight and without subsidiary branches up to around 70 feet – not ideal climbing trees! They are sometimes referred to as Camwood Trees, Barwood or African Coralwood. Padauk flowers are a gorgeous bright yellow, carry a light perfume and cluster on the branches like Lilac.
The Buddhist Myanmar lunar month, 'Tagu', will traditionally fall in April, the month of the Myanmar New Year. At this time of year the Padauk tree symbolizes the hopes and wishes of the New Year as it brings in the Thingyan Festival and the tree represents strength and durability to the Myanmar people.
Padauk is stunningly beautiful with its vivid red lustre and darker hues that darken even more with age, to a purplish brown. Harder than oak, it is tough, tactile, resistant to termites and responsive to light. Ideal for cabinet making and popular with luthiers and makers of musical instruments such as flutes, it is sturdy yet color rich and will not warp. A guitar made from Padauk will produce exceptional tone.
As beautiful as Padauk is when freshly timbered, it improves with age and darkens, taking on an appearance reminiscent of aged Rosewood. Flooring made of Padauk has a warm glow and an attractive reddish appearance, similar to Cherrywood.
The heart of newly cut Padauk is bright orange in color but of course darkens to a less garish hue and can even turn almost black. One of the best features of Padauk is that its color is dramatically beautiful and may be left unstained to acquire its own unique personality. Oil finishes can accelerate the wood's natural ageing process. Furniture manufactured with Padauk is solid, heavy and long lasting.
This is a prince among woods for carving with its vibrant finish but can misbehave in the hands of a novice – the sap and sawdust are both irritants with a pungent odor and care should be taken when carving the wood in its raw state as a splinter from Padauk will infect and burn persistently for some time. It is important to use tools that are ultra sharp as the wood is exceptionally hard and resistant.
An item manufactured with Padauk will last for many years with proper care: kitchen products such as natural wood salad services and chopping woods may be sterilized easily without losing their aesthetic beauty. As the wood ages it acquires an attractive patina. It polishes well. Padauk products in the home tend to last forever…

Supreme Court strikes down Texas' abortion restrictions
By BRITTNEY MARTIN and KATIE LESLIE
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court struck down Texas' sweeping abortion restrictions Monday, declaring that they pose an unconstitutional burden on women seeking to end their pregnancies.
In a 5-3 decision, Justice Anthony Kennedy sided with the four Democratic-appointed justices to toss out Texas' 2013 regulations on abortion doctors and clinics. The decision sets a national precedent that will curtail how far states can go to restrict abortion, with abortion rights activists saying it bolsters their fight against similar restrictions across the country.
The requirements that doctors who perform abortions maintain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and all abortions be performed in hospital-like surgical centers have caused more than half of the state's abortion clinics to close. Additional clinics would have shuttered if the justices upheld the law in full.
The ruling ends a three-year saga that put Texas in the national spotlight for the broad sweep of its attempt to restrict abortion access. The initial effort to pass the law was temporarily derailed by a filibuster in the state Senate, with then-Sen. Wendy Davis drawing worldwide attention for her talkathon to block the law.
In the Texas case, Whole Woman's Health vs. Hellerstedt, a group of Texas abortion providers sued to block the laws, saying they placed an undue burden on women seeking the procedure.
Whole Woman's Health, the lead plaintiff in the case, operates three abortion facilities in Texas.
"Every day, Whole Woman's Health clinics serve women with the respect and passion and dignity and compassion they deserve and today, the Supreme Court did the same," said a beaming Amy Hagstrom Miller, the group's president and chief executive, outside the court Monday. "With this historic ruling, justice has been served and our clinics can stay open."
Texas officials argued that they had a right to enforce the restrictions because they made the procedure safer for women. The Center for Reproductive Rights, a nonprofit group that represented Whole Woman's Health and other providers, said that the procedure is already safe and that the restrictions are unnecessary, costly and intended to end abortion in the state.
Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called the decision "a devastating blow to the protection of the health and safety of women in Texas."
"By its ruling, the court held that the ability of abortion clinics to remain open – even under substandard conditions – outweighs the state's ability to put women's health and safety first," Patrick said in a written statement.
Gov. Greg Abbott said "the decision erodes states' lawmaking authority" to protect women's health and "innocent life."
Throngs of abortion rights activists and abortion protesters alike crowded the Supreme Court steps after the decision. It was a peaceful, if loud, gathering, with the majority cheering the ruling and breaking into dance as music blared. Several bore signs that read "Abortion: Safe, Legal & Accessible" and "Feminists are the majority."

— Katie Leslie (@katieleslienews) June 27, 2016
Just feet away, dozens of anti-abortion activists stood silently, facing the court, with tape bearing the word "life" across their mouths. President Barack Obama, whose administration sided with the abortion providers in the case, hailed the ruling. "These restrictions harm women's health and place an unconstitutional obstacle in the path of a woman's reproductive freedom," he said in a written statement. "We remain strongly committed to the protection of women's health, including protecting a woman's access to safe, affordable health care and her right to determine her own future." Nancy Northup, chief executive of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said the decision is a "reaffirmation of the promise of Roe vs. Wade," referring to the landmark Supreme Court decision confirming abortion rights.
Northup said the high court's ruling Monday will bolster her group's fight to defeat similar abortion restriction efforts in other states. "This is a tremendous victory and we will go forward in making sure all of the laws that are blocking women's access … will be overturned," she said to cheers. Though the decision sets a national precedent, its impact may not be immediately felt outside of Texas. Similar laws in effect in other states probably won't change unless they are challenged in court or repealed by state lawmakers. Stephanie Toti, lead attorney for the abortion providers, said the case wouldn't have an "automatic impact" on any other state laws because the undue burden standard relies on context to be applied. "Ideally, we would love a world where the court says if the law doesn't provide any benefit then it must be struck down, but that's not what we have at this time," Toti said. "What the undue burden standard says is that you have to compare the benefits of the law to the burdens that the law imposes." State-issues expert Elizabeth Nash of the Guttmacher Institute, a Washington-based group that tracks abortion laws and advocates for reproductive rights, said Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia all require abortion facilities to meet building and operational standards on par with those addressed in the Texas case. There are 11 states with similar admitting privileges laws on the books, but only four, not including Texas, are in effect. "I wouldn't expect those states to stop enforcing their regulations immediately, it would take some additional actions—a court case, for example," Nash said. The contours of the case changed in February when conservative Justice Antonin Scalia — a staunch abortion opponent — died suddenly, leaving the court with an even ideological split. As expected, the decision came down to Kennedy, who is often the swing vote. Appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988, Kennedy has landed on both ends of the abortion access spectrum. In the past, he's upheld the procedure as a constitutional right, but he's also supported state restrictions. Some waiting outside the Supreme Court on Monday, including Janet Morana — head of the anti-abortion group Priests for Life — admonished Kennedy for tipping the scales. Justice Stephen Breyer, appointed in 1994 by President Bill Clinton, wrote the opinion that reversed an appeals court ruling that upheld the law. In the opinion, he said both of the requirements "place a substantial obstacle in the path of women seeking a pre-viability abortion, constitute an undue burden on abortion access, and thus violate the Constitution." This is the second lawsuit abortion providers have brought against the state to halt the 2013 restrictions. The first case, Planned Parenthood vs. Abbott, challenged the admitting privileges requirement and the increased regulations on abortion-inducing pills. A panel of the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals voted to uphold the restrictions in March 2014. One week later, a second group of abortion providers filed Whole Woman's Health vs. Hellerstedt to halt the facilities standards, set to go into effect in September 2014. In the second case, a federal district judge struck down not only the challenged facilities standards but also the admitting privileges requirement, saying the combination created "an impermissible obstacle" for women seeking abortions in the state. Texas appealed to the 5th Circuit, which reversed the lower court's decision and upheld the law, with a narrow exception that allowed Whole Woman's Health in McAllen to reopen, the only remaining clinic south of San Antonio. Justice Samuel Alito — an appointee of President George W. Bush — wrote the dissent to Breyer's opinion. He was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Clarence Thomas, both Republican appointees. Alito took issue with the double cases addressing the same admitting privileges requirement. "Under the rules that apply in regular cases, petitioners could not relitigate the exact same claim in a second suit," Alito wrote. "In this abortion case, however, that rule is disregarded. The court awards a victory to petitioners on the very claim that they unsuccessfully pressed in the earlier case." The 2013 Texas law at the center of the case has been in the national news since Davis filibustered to block the measure in the Texas Senate for 13 hours. Opponents of the bill filled the Capitol in a raucous end to a special session. And though the stunt defeated the bill temporarily, former Gov. Rick Perry called another special session the next day, and it easily passed.The law also bans abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy and regulates how doctors administer abortion-inducing pills, but those provisions weren't challenged in the Supreme Court case.
Texas women had nearly 9,000 fewer abortions in 2014, the first full year after the new restrictions went into effect and forced clinics to close — 14 percent less than the year before. The state's 18 remaining clinics are mostly located in big metropolitan areas.
Miller said Monday that the clinics that shuttered will now begin the long process of reopening, if possible. Some must renew leases that lapsed after the enactment of the Texas laws and rehire workers, she said.
The abortion case is one of several high-profile Texas cases the Supreme Court took up this term. Last week, the high court sided with a Texas district court, affirming an injunction against President Barack Obama's deferred action immigration programs and upheld the University of Texas' race-conscious admissions policies.

For Josh Heffner, it wasn't so much that the light came on...it went off.
Heffner, who played at Great Falls High School, spent one year as an assistant coach and the past two seasons as head coach of the Red Devils baseball program, has resigned his position.
He will join the staff of Mike Lucas at Andrew Jackson High School.
Heffner says a series of unusual events led him to his new position.
GREAT FALLS – A classroom a few doors down from the Great Falls High gymnasium almost looks naked.
The team pictures and newspaper clippings that used to adorn the walls are gone, and a big filing cabinet full of scorebooks is missing. And John Smith isn't sitting behind the desk.
GREER – Andrew Jackson High School golfer Emily Cox shot an even-par 72 in the second and final round of play Wednesday to win the 13-18 girl's division in The Blade Junior Classic at Thornblade Club.
The Vols' rising senior shot a 3 under on the back nine to finish the two-day S.C. Golf Association tournament at 3 under.
Inman's American Legion Post 45 swept Lancaster's Post 31 this week in three straight games during the second round of the S.C. American Legion Upper State baseball playoffs.
On Tuesday night in Lancaster, Inman shut down Lancaster for an 11-0 win.
Then on Wednesday, Post 45 won a two-day rain-delayed deadlocked game, 5-4, on a single by Hunter Gneisig in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Post 31 never got a chance to swing a bat in the delayed part of the contest, since Inman was the home team.
YORK – The Lancaster Dixie Baseball 14U Dixie Boys All Stars have punched their tickets to next week's state tournament in Aiken.
The local all-star team defeated the host York All Stars team, 15-0, in three innings of play Tuesday night to win the 2016 S.C. District 10 Dixie Boys championship.
Good pitching still beats good hitting, but when both come together at once, watch out, said All Stars coach Jimmy Jackson.
And the numbers do tell the story.
Michael Knight
For The Lancaster News
Lancaster Super Speedway will host the third-annual Ralph W. "Buddy" Crook Memorial on July 16.
Known as one of the area's most popular and respected dirt racers by fans and fellow drivers alike, Crook raced in several divisions, including hobby six cylinders, four cylinders at the high-banked, half-mile dirt track for more than three decades. He died in February 2014 after a battle with cancer and the memorial race is held in his honor.
INMAN – Mother Nature stepped into a 4-4 deadlock in the bottom of the 10th inning Monday night to postpone the opening game of the American Legion playoffs between Lancaster's Post 31 and Inman's Post 45.
Lancaster built a lead, but Inman rallied and pushed through two runs in the ninth inning to tie the game.
Post 31 hosted the second game of the best-of-five, second-round American Legion playoffs last night, but results were not available before press time.
HARTSVILLE – The Lancaster 10U Dixie Softball Angels team won its opening game at Byerly Park before losing twice to be eliminated from the state tournament.
After opening state play Saturday with a 7-1 win over host Hartsville, the Angels stars fell to Latta, 10-0, on Sunday. Dillon knocked the local girls from tourney play Monday with a solid, 6-0 win.
Lancaster Angels coach Spring McManus said strong pitching was the difference.
YORK – The Lancaster Dixie Baseball 14U Dixie Boys All Stars outscored and outpitched the Kershaw County American League All Star team, as well as host York, to take two lopsided weekend wins in the 2016 S.C. District 10 Dixie Boys tournament.
In Saturday's opening game, Lancaster topped the Kershaw stars 15-2.
Sunday night's game, the local Dixie Baseball team pounded York 28-0.
The Lancaster stars were scheduled to face York again Tuesday night in the District 10 championship; however, those results were not available before press time.
Timbo Mangum pulled away from Benji Knight to grab the checkers in SECA Crate Late Model action at Lancaster Super Speedway on July 9.
The win was Mangum's second of the night, as he also won the Vintage Division feature.
When the green flag dropped, Mangum, Knight, Manley Chaney and Travis Steele were all battling for the lead. Mangum was able to lead the four down the backstretch, with Knight in his tire tracks.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
I spent Black Friday in the imaginary world of Alexey Taran and Carla Forte as they rehearsed for their upcoming performance, "Imaginarium Life," which opens at The Sandbox on December 6th. "Imaginarium Life" is the second phrase (of a four-phase project) that involves a dance-theater-multimedia performance based on the screenplay "Imagimundo," written by Forte, and original music composed by Venezuelan musician, Frank Woo.
"Imaginarium Life" is the story of Rueben, a visual artist who lives in his mind to avoid reality, to avoid the pain and pitfalls of his torn and tormented life, which seems to be a common theme among the living. Eschewing material and emotional attachments, Ruben constructs a mirage for negotiating life. He attempts to disconnect from the things he perceives are holding him back, pulling him under, filling his jacket with pockets full of stones, and retreats into the imaginary world where he lives (imaginarily) safe and sound from the free-floating chaos of living and loving in the real world.
Alexey Taran & Carla Forte. Photo by Neil de la Flor
In Ruben's head, this is where happiness lives — at least that is what he imagines. Ana, Ruben's wife, accepts Ruben's detachment from reality, but this presents the couple with Herculean challenges. Ruben begins to confuse the real Ana with the imagined Ana.
After previewing the introductory scene from "Imaginarium Life," Taran and Forte spoke about the motivation for the work and the words "happiness" and "freedom" came up — two words that freak me out because they've become cliché obsessions of our modern culture.
Alexey Taran & Carla Forte. Photo by Neil de la Flor
"I want more freedom." "I want to be happy." "I want to live free from pain and sorrow." "I want to be free to do what I want to do." Happiness and freedom have become these dual-driving forces that seem inextricably linked to our egos that no one seems to know anything about except that they want it, more of it and they want it now. Taran and Forte try to figure this out for us and I'm happy for that.
The Sandbox is small. There are only 50 seats. Get your tickets now because Taran and Forte are doing big, miraculous things in our city of illusion and lust. Their intelligent, well-conceived and well-constructed "Imaginarium Life" will free you.
Alexey Taran & Carla Forte. Photo by Neil de la Flor
"Imaginarium Life," opens Thursday Dec. 6 and runs Fridays and Saturdays from Dec. 7-22 at 8 p.m. at the Miami Theater Center, 9806 NE 2nd Ave., Miami Shores; 305-751-9550. Cost: $20. To purchase tickets, visit: https://www.vendini.com/ticket-software.html?e=1fed5358983f01fd01941128585b48f6&t=tix

possible brain damage
I am so sorry that you are feeling scared right now. It is hard enough to get a diagnosis, but then to get medical stuff thrown on top can really blind side you. I have never heard of an egg head shape as a marker of a baby with DS. They can have a bit more flatness on the back of their heads because of the nuchal thickness, though, and sometimes their heads are a bit smaller. Did he say that the cysts are choroid plexus cysts? Those are the most common, and occur in both babies with and without DS. May I ask if the doctor telling you these things is a maternal fetal specialist?
I just found this. Maybe it would put your mind at ease a little? Seems to me that a rounder head may be a variation of normal for a baby with DS.
Brachycephaly – the cephalic index is the ratio of the width of the skull (at the level of the BPD) to the length of the skull (or AP dimension). If this index is greater than 83%, then the head is considered to be brachiocephalic (or more round in shape). Fetuses with trisomy 21 often have a brachiocephalic head, but this may not be appreciated until the third trimester (and many brachiocephalic heads are normal variations). If the cephalic index is less than 74%, this is called dolichocephaly (or a head that is narrow or more oval in shape).
I just want to say I am thinking of you! Also, Owens head is quite round. ( enough that I refer to it as a bowling ball -lovingly-sometimes)

Angel babies '03 and '05
I don't know about the shape of the head, but Ruby had bilateral cysts on her brain when we first received our prenatal diagnosis at around 24 weeks. The cysts dissolved on their own before birth.
If you click on my profile pick you will see that dd has a beautifully shaped round head. She's totally 'normal' for a kid with DS.
I might be mistaken but I've read in several places that a round skull is very common with DS but have never heard about the egg-shaped head.. www.pediatriconcall.com/fordoctor/d...
The above website lists "rounded head" first on its list of common findings in babies with DS.
You may also want to give a call to your regular OB and see what he has to say. I know that ours put our minds at ease after a very upsetting visit to our MFM specialist.
Sending you many hugs...
I'm sorry you've received such distressing news. I can't speak to much of what you mentioned, but I do know there are treatments available for babies whose plates fuse earlier than expected. One of my cousin's children needed to have surgery when he was around the age of one because of this particular issue. Everything went perfectly and he's doing very well now as a 4 year old.
I would definitely consider getting a second opinion before spending a lot of time worrying about this. Unfortunately, the doctor delivering the information can really affect the way the information is perceived and received. Perhaps another doctor can offer more positive experiences from his or her background.
Best wishes for you and your LO.

I have decided in life with my child with Down syndrome that I need to do my best to limiting my worry to times when someone who actually knows something tells me I should be worried - it has saved me a lot of time being concerned about things that never came to pass (and believe me, it is an ongoing challenge to follow my own guideline here!)
Did your MFM refer you to a children's hospital where you could meet with a specialist who could look at your baby and make some more educated attempts at interpreting the ultrasound? I would probably want to talk to someone who understood more what the ramifications of this are, and what the certaintly that what the MFM might have seen could be what he/she was suggesting. It is something I've not heard to much about as a concern in Ds pregnancies - did they give you specific medical terms to describe what they thought they might have seen?

If it bleeds, it leads.
That old adage holds true in the news biz today, just as it always has. Blood, carnage, horror -- these are ingredients for news, and stories featuring those elements are reliable eyeball magnets. Always have been, always will be. It is the way we are built.
We are fascinated, horrified and compelled to pay attention when the news is bad.
The reasons are both simple and complex. Bad news typically equals drama, as the principals involved usually have to answer difficult questions or tests bestowed upon them by fate. Because of that, our innate curiosity kicks in. How will they react, we wonder? And how would we react in the same situation? Soaking in bad or distressing news can also serve to buffer our ego -- better them than me, we may subconsciously mutter. My life isn't so bad in comparison, we might infer.
The sport of boxing frequently finds itself inserted into the "if it bleeds, it leads" axiom. Over the past three weeks, the sport has experienced an uptick in prominent coverage from news outlets, and not because warm and fuzzy Hallmark moments came to the attention of news gatherers. No. One New York tabloid featured boxers on the cover of its Nov. 10 edition, because one of those featured in the front-page photo was lying in a coma in an NYC hospital after sustaining injuries during a Nov. 2 contest at MSG Theater.
The fallen fighter is Magomed Abdusalamov. The 32-year-old Russian-born boxer is in a bed at NYC's Roosevelt Hospital and on Thursday began breathing on his own, was taken off breathing support, was brought out of his induced coma, but not long after, was placed back into a coma by docs.
During such times, reporters cover the event and the aftermath and then opine. People involved in the event seek to comprehend the sad reality, process it and make some amends with it. That can be hard, depending on what sort of conscience you have.
To be involved in this sport -- and I don't call it a game, I can't, not when the ultimate price to be paid for participation can easily be death or severe disability -- one most engage in at least a certain amount of rationalization. The fighters know what they are getting into, we tell ourselves. Crossing the street can be a fatal act, we note. Life is short, and some choose risky endeavors because they want to maximize their existences during their span on this plane, we declare.
All these rationalizations pass the sniff test for authenticity, I believe, but that doesn't mean we, the people who make a living off the sport, this oft savage science, shouldn't continue to examine events like the Mago incident, labor mightily to process them and move on with increased knowledge and the expectation of preventing such a tragedy from occurring again.
Days and weeks following such an event, time and effort is spent by some involved to minimize their culpability, legally, morally, and this case is no different. But all in all, I feel like maybe the most fair reading of those campaigns is this: Magomed Abdusalamov was fighting Mike Perez at Madison Square Garden for every minute of all 10 rounds of his fight and in fact winged a hard left hand that just missed with three seconds remaining in the fight, and none of those involved had the benefit of a peek into the future. Knowing what we know now, different decisions would have been made. But that isn't the way this deal works. People mostly do the best they can with the instruments and understanding they possess at that moment. By and large, I believe that all involved in the Mago situation did the best they could with the instruments and understanding they possessed at that time.

Field Experiments of PV-Thermal Collectors for Residential Application in Bangkok
AbstractThis study presents experimental results on Photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) solar systems, the commercial photovoltaic (PV) panels used as solar absorbers in PVT collectors, which are amorphous and multi-crystalline silicon. Testing was done with outdoor experiments in the climate of Bangkok corresponding to energy consumption behavior of medium size Thai families. The experimental results show that the thermal recovery of amorphous silicon PVT collector is almost the same as that of multi-crystalline silicon PVT collectors while electricity generation of multi crystalline silicon PVT is 1.2 times as much as that of amorphous silicon PVT. The maximum of heat gain from the PVT systems were obtained in March in summer. It was found that PVT collectors of unit area annually produced 1.1 × 103 kWh/m2 .year of heat and 55–83 kWh/m2.year of electricity, respectively. The results show that annual average solar factor of hot water supply is 0.45 for unit collector area. Economical evaluation based on energy costs in Thailand was conducted, which estimated the payback time would be 7 and 14 years for a-Si PVT and mc-Si PV, respectively.

Cyrano de Bergerac
by Edmond Rostand
Cyrano de Bergerac Cunning and Cleverness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Line)
Quote #1
Then she may be
One of those aesthetes… Intellectuals,
You call them—How can I talk to a woman
In that style? I have no wit. This fine manner
Of speaking and of writing nowadays—
Not for me! I am a soldier—and afraid. (I.77-82)
Christian readily admits that he is not a clever man when it comes to speaking. This shows that the speech and writing of 17th-century France were relatively refined and complex.
Quote #2
FIRST MARQUIS [on Comte de Guiche]
Gascon, yes—but cold
And calculating—certain to succeed—
My word for it. (I.173-175)
Comte de Guiche is known for his deviousness. His intelligence, in sharp contrast to Cyrano's, is characterized as morally corrupt, merciless, and even evil. Where Cyrano's intelligence is spirited and often improvisatory, de Guiche's is more cold and calculating—and often geared toward seeking revenge.
Quote #3
MONTFLEURY (After bowing to the applause, begins the role of Phedon)
"Thrice happy he who hides from pomp and power
In sylvan shade of solitary bower;
Where balmy zephyrs fan his burning cheeks—"
A VOICE (From the midst of the hall)
Wretch! Have I not forbade you these three weeks? […]
CYRANO (Arises in the centre of the floor, erect upon a chair, his arms folded, his hat cocked ferociously, his moustache bristling, his nose terrible.)
Presently I shall grow angry!
(Sensation at his appearance)
MONTFLEURY (To the Marquis)
If you protect me—
A MARQUIS (Nonchalantly)
Fat swine!
If you dare breathe one balmy zephyr,
I'll fan your cheeks for you! (I.213-226)
Cyrano uses Montfleury's own opening lines from La Clorise to mock and threaten him and eventually shame him off the stage.

Erik Morales Still Unsure of Taking Danny Garcia Defense
By Miguel Rivera
WBC junior welterweight champion Erik 'El Terrible' Morales may still cancel or postpone his upcoming fight against undefeated Danny Garcia, scheduled for January 28 at the Reliant Arena in Houston. Last weekend Morales had emergency gallbladder surgery in Mexico City. Erik's father and trainer, Jose Morales, is trying to convince his son not to give Garcia any advantages by going forward with the fight. A decision should be made soon.
"On Monday I'll talk to Golden Boy after the doctors tell me how I am. Obviously I do not want to cancel or postpone the fight, but a lot depends on what I'm told by them (doctors)," Erik told Sal Rodriguez.
Erik's coach, feels the operation the days of recovery has already "spoiled the work that we already started."
"Remember that Danny Garcia is the number two [ranked contender] in the world. He's a tough fighter, young, fast - and if you add to that, that my son is not 100%, I think it would be a big mistake [to take the fight]," Jose said.

The Maggie Moo's ice cream store in West Des Moines is closing next week.
The store is located at 2900 University Ave. in West Des Moines.
Owners said competition from frozen yogurt shops and other factors helped drive the decision.
The shop has been open in the metro for almost two decades. The only other Maggie Moo's location in Iowa is in Davenport.
