For hundreds of women in the 1970s, it all began with a YES. . .
When the long-sought acceptance letter from Kirkland College arrived, a large, black, Gothic-script, capitalized YES announced the affirmative decision. YES – printed on a separate slip of paper – peeked through the sealed envelope and clearly revealed the contents to eager high school seniors.
YES boldly announced something else – how things were done differently at Kirkland. Rather than simply mailing out a standard acceptance letter, Kirkland shouted one jubilant word before the translucent linen envelope could be peeled open. That YES captured our curiosity, symbolized our excitement, and generated enthusiasm that permeated every aspect of life at Kirkland College.
YES. . .our adventure was about to begin.

GEN News Highlights : Aug 27, 2013
Leading a consortium of institutions, the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine has been awarded $14.4 million in federal backing from NIH's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to find better ways to predict which patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are at the greatest risk of heart failure or sudden death. In addition to the NHLBI funding, Siemens Healthcare has agreed to provide support to the project.
The five-year study will follow 2,750 patients for up to five years at 35 to 40 sites in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, including the U.K., Italy, and Germany. UVA's Christopher M. Kramer, M.D., co-principal investigator of the project, will oversee the North American locations, while Kramer's co-principal investigator, Stefan Neubauer, M.D., of Oxford University, will oversee the European sites. UVA will serve as the lead site for the trial.
Dr. Kramer said in a statement that the goal of the study is to develop better risk predictors, with the long-term goal of enabling more focused therapies. The study will reportedly have three major focuses: imaging, with MRI of the heart to enable doctors to better map and measure the amount of heart thickening, scarring, and fibrosis; genetics, to detect genetic patterns that could be associated with increased risk; and biomarkers, to determine if there are measurable biological indicators in the blood that predict risk.
"Findings from this research could lead to new ways to prevent or treat these serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions," said Michael Lauer, M.D., director of the Division of Cardiovascular Sciences at NHLBI, in a statement.

The following video is from Tuesday's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill and analysts Andy Cross and Jason Moser discuss the top business and investing stories of the day.
In this segment, Twitter and American Express (NYSE: AXP ) have announced a partnership that allows cardholders to buy things simply by typing a hashtag. What will the deal mean for the future of Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN ) and daily deals? In this installment of MarketFoolery, our analysts tackle those questions.
Groupon's story is one of the American Dream. The company went from 400 subscribers in 2008 to over 150 million today. While this story is definitely one of triumph on a business level, its success most certainly hasn't been shared by investors. Company shares have fallen over 80% over the past year and left investors panicked. Will this company live out its American Dream, or leave shareholders empty-handed? In order to answer that question, our analyst has compiled a premium research report with in-depth analysis on whether you should buy or sell Groupon right now and why.

Spoken Word Poet Opens Free Cultural Series at Penn State York
Spoken word poet Gabriela Garcia-Medina opens Penn State York's 2009-10 Cultural and Performing Artists Series on Tuesday, Oct. 13. The performance, at 7:30 p.m. in the campus' Pullo Family Performing Arts Center (The Pullo Center), is free and open to the public.
Garcia-Medina speaks of revolution and does it with style. Born to Cuban parents she has seen the world through eyes most haven't. As an international spoken word artist and award-winning poet, her poetry has taken her to places such as South America, Cuba, Switzerland, and all over the United States. Her poetry ranges from topics such as the social injustices we all face to talking about her lingerie. She has toured colleges, festivals, and churches since 2007 and her words have found a home on the walls of Eva Longoria's new restaurant, Besos, in Los Angeles. Her performance is a perfect way for the campus to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
The free series continues on Oct. 15 when Barry Drake, rock historian, returns to campus for his multimedia presentation "The Roots of Rock & Roll: 1953-63." Travel back to the dawn of rock & roll at 7 p.m. in the Conference Center, Main Classroom Building.
Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, and Bill Haley all broke the rules and fused black rhythm & blues with white hillbilly and pop music. They sparked a cultural revolution that continued for decades. Drake begins his musical journey just before the dawn of rock & roll and examines the styles of music that came together on the early recordings. "The Roots of Rock & Roll 1953-63" follows music's development though the 50s and early 60s covering rhythm & blues, rockabilly, doo-wop, teen idols, girl groups, and early soul. The presentation concludes with an examination of how this music was given back to us by the groups of the British Invasion.
Drake, often called a walking encyclopedia of rock & roll, is a graduate of Manhattan College and has been involved in the world of music since buying his first rock & roll record in 1954. He grew up in New York City and saw everyone from Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry at the Brooklyn Paramount in 1957, to Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin at the Filmore in 1967. In 1965, Drake became a performer and songwriter and in 1970 was signed to Capitol Records. Since then, Drake has recorded three albums and has extensively toured the United States and Europe. Visit www.barrydrake.com for more information on this program.

Natives of the Ecuadorian Andes, the brothers learned their traditional folk music as it has been learned for thousands of years – passed from father to son, and brother to brother. Discover more about their exciting music at www.andesmanta.com.

He is a national award-winning slam poet and comedic writer.
The Atlanta native has performed for countless clubs, colleges, and universities and his poetry has been featured on HBO, BET, TV Land, CNN, and Nick at Nite. His slam poetry leaves an indelible impression on any audience. Visit his Web site at www.myspace.com/jongoode to learn more about him.
Bring the luck of the Irish to The Pullo Center on Thursday, March 18, at 7:30 p.m. when Screaming Orphans continues their St. Patrick's Day celebration. These four funny, high-spirited, musically obsessed sisters were raised in the magic of Bundoran in County Donegal, Ireland, and bring the great tradition of Irish music to the stage. They began singing and playing Irish music when they were very young and when they reached their teenage years, they knew it was time to start their own rock band.
While they can never forget their roots in traditional Irish music, the Screaming Orphans draw on a diverse set of influences from Simon & Garfunkel to REM, with a strong focus on melody driven songs with pop and rock strains. The diversity of the American music scene led them to relocate to New York City and they regularly tour up and down the east coast. Visit www.screamingorphans.com to learn more about their performances.
A tribute to the great female singers of the golden age of jazz closes out the campus' cultural series on Thursday, April 15, at 7:30 p.m. when Great Jazz Divas, Davis and Dow come to York.

Suicide is among the ten major causes of death in children 6 to 12 years of age. Even though pediatricians may be asked to care for preadolescent children who are either contemplating suicide or who have actually attempted suicide, there has been a dearth of professional literature directed toward this complex problem. This new book is an excellent "comprehensive overview of current knowledge about suicidal behavior in this age group" and provides accurate, upto-date information in a balanced and critical fashion. The data are both empirical and clinical and are interspersed so that the reader does not lose interest. There are excellent graphics that orient the reader to broad concepts. The summary at the end of each chapter is extremely helpful.
Since there are so many fine features of this book, the remainder of this review will emphasize those sections that are of particular interest to pediatricians. The book is

EGG HARBOR TWP. -- The New Jersey Air National Guard will receive $3.5 million in federal stimulus funds to build a safer area where aircraft can arm and disarm its weapons in Egg Harbor Township, according to a report by the Press of Atlantic City.
The construction of two concrete and asphalt pads, with a protective earthen berm, will be outside of the safety zone of Atlantic City International Airport's main runway, the report said. The pads will be used by jets from the 177th Fighter Wing to arm and disarm weapons, a South Jersey Transportation Authority official is cited as saying.
The earthen berm is for the "remote" chance of an accidental weapons discharge, the report said.

Coming off of a two-game win streak and its best offensive showing of the season on Saturday, the Lycoming College women's basketball team was looking red-hot in the days leading up to its Wednesday night matchup with the MAC Commonwealth's top-ranked Messiah Falcons at Lamade Gymnasium.
But much like the high winds and heavy snow brought in by Winter Storm Nika, the Warriors, too, turned ice cold.
Posting its second-lowest scoring total of the season, after hitting a mere 19 of its 48 field goal attempts, Lycoming was romped by a Messiah team that shot 53-percent from the field and lost, 64-49.

Jenna Morgan of Lycoming looks to shoot as Messiah's Emily Martz defends Wednesday at Lamade Gym.
"It looked like we shoveled the entire Lycoming parking lot and we had no energy left to play this game," Lycoming's head coach Christen Ditzler said. "It was a landslide."
Lycoming (9-10, 6-7 CC) kept pace with Messiah (14-6, 10-3 CC) throughout the first half, despite hitting only 10 first-half shots and making it to the line just twice. The Warriors entered the locker room at half with a six-point deficit, down 29-23, but seemed to be playing competitively against one of the Commonwealth's greatest powers.
However, after Messiah's senior guard Katelyn Vanderhoff began the second half with consecutive steals, which helped her score four points in the half's first 30 seconds and the Falcons quickly buried the Warriors with an offensive avalanche. Lycoming never recovered after a 19-0 run.
Vanderhoff ended the game as Messiah's leading scorer, with 15 points on seven field goals, while adding three assists. She also led the falcons defensively, with six defensive rebounds, five steals, and a blocked shot.
"We just weren't focused tonight, and I didn't think we responded to adversity the way I would like us to," Ditzler said. "Things weren't going our way, and instead of fighting back and finding a way to combat those things, we let it affect us.
"Is that the sign of a younger team or a team that just isn't ready to compete with the No. 1 teams yet? I don't know, but we will figure that out," said Ditzler.
Ditzler was pleased to see her team hold Messiah to 64 points, especially after the Falcons dropped 81-points against Albright on Saturday. She said the team's defensive strategy went according to plan, as they were able to keep their hands in the faces of the Messiah guards, and limited the success of the Falcons' 6-foot-2 forward Gillian Glackin.
However, Ditzler was not as impressed with the Warriors' offensive showing.
"To hold them to 64 was okay," she said "But offensively we just didn't show up. As hot as we were last game, that's how cold we were in this game."
The lone bright spot for Lycoming offensively was the play of Julia Antonelli, who scored 16 points on the night, making her just the seventh player in school history to reach 1,100 points. Antonelli also shot 2 for 3 at the line, while adding two assists and five offensive rebounds for the Warriors. She was the only Warrior to hit more than 3 shots from the field.

The Temptations
The first 20 tracks in the three-record Supremes' album pack enough dynamite to set even the most casual pop music fans to singing and swaying. Such old hits as You Can't Hurry Love, You Keep Me Hangin' On and Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart still sound as vital as when they were recorded in the '60s. The last three sides of the set are strictly for die-hard fans and collectors. Among 20 previously unreleased recordings you'll find uninspired versions of The Blue Room and Manhattan, two selections that were dropped from the 1976 album The Supremes Sing Rodgers and Hart. Or you can hear insipid covers of Heigh-Ho and When You Wish Upon a Star from Diana Ross and the Supremes Sing Disney Classics. Motown has even dredged up a 1965 Coca-Cola commercial. To the tune of Baby Love, the girls sing: "I dig your style/ The way you smile/ Let's have a Coke/ And talk awhile." The Temptations' two-record package, on the other hand, includes a few previously unreleased cuts that would make interesting additions to anybody's collection. Soulmate, apparently an outtake from 1975's A Song for You LP, is a melancholy torcher sung by Dennis Edwards, and Truly Yours features the anguished vocals of David Ruffin at his love-stung best. Then there's the Tempts whipping themselves into a frenzy on live performances of Can't Get Next to You, Cloud Nine and Papa Was a Rollin' Stone. The speed and precision with which these guys trade off lead vocals, despite several personnel changes over the years, is the stuff that still makes their concert audiences go wild. This double LP sputters to a start with four unremarkable tunes the group recorded before it hit its stride in 1964. But from cut five forward, you'll hear the Temptations' remarkable music machine in excellent running order. (Motown)

Ian Plimer
- Ph.D. Macquarie University (specializing in "tungsten-molybdenum-bismuth deposits"). [1]
- B.Sc.(Hons) University of New South Wales.
Source: [2]
Ian Plimer is a professor of Mining Geology at the University of Adelaide, South Australia, and Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne.
Plimer has two climate science denial books. The first, which has been referred to as the "denier's bible," was Heaven and Earth. The second, published in late 2011, was called How To Get Expelled From School: A guide to climate change for pupils, parents and punters.
Plimer has been a director of numerous mining companies including Ivanhoe Australia, a subsidiary of Bob Friedland's Ivanhoe Mines, CBH Resources, Kefi Minerals, Silver City Minerals, Ormil Energy Ltd, TNT Mines, Niuminco Group and Lakes Oil.
Plimer was appointed to the boards of Roy Hill Holdings and Queensland Coal Investments by mining magnate and climate skeptic promoter Gina Rinehart on January 25, 2012. [3]
As non-executive Director and Deputy Chairman of Kefi, he owns 3.6 million shares which would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in today's market.
In an article titled "Why I'd put global warming on ice," Plimer claims that his commercial interest in mining "does not colour his arguments, which he says are based on pure science" and "does not affect the independence of his beliefs." [4]
Stance on Climate Change
According to a presentation by Plimer with the Friends of Science: [5]
"- [The] Earth['s climate] always changes
- Climate change is normal
- Climate change occurred well before humans were on Earth
- The rate of climate change today is no different from thousands, millions or billions of years ago
- >80% [of the] time, Earth has been warmer and wetter than at present
- Ice is rare
- Just because [climate] change occurs in our lifetime does not mean that we humans are driving the change"
Key Quotes
"Climate has always changed. It always has and always will. Sea level has always changed. Ice sheets come and go. Life always changes. Extinctions of life are normal. Planet Earth is dynamic and evolving. Climate changes are cyclical and random. Through the eyes of a geologist, I would be really concerned if there were no change to Earth over time. In the light of large rapid natural climate changes, just how much do humans really change climate?"
"There is no problem with global warming. It stopped in 1998. The last two years of global cooling have erased nearly thirty years of temperature increase." [6]
Key Deeds
August, 2016
Ian Plimer is listed as a "Founding Member" of group named Climate Exit (Clexit) led by climate change denier Christopher Monckton. According to Clexit's founding statement (PDF), "The world must abandon this suicidal Global Warming crusade. Man does not and cannot control the climate." [35], [36]
Desmog reports on how the group grew in the wake of the UK's decision to leave the EU. A key member of Clexit's "60 well-informed science, business and economic leaders" is Hugh Morgan, a former board member of the Reserve Bank of Australia and former CEO of Western Mining Corporation with close ties to Australia's Liberal party. [37], [38]
According to Clexit's founding statement:
"If the Paris climate accord is ratified, or enforced locally by compliant governments, it will strangle the leading economies of the world with pointless carbon taxes and costly climate and energy policies, all with no sound basis in evidence or science […]" [36]
December, 2014
Ian Plimer is a contributor to the book Climate Change: The Facts published by the Institute of Public Affairs and featuring "22 essays on the science, politics and economics of the climate change debate." The Institute of Public Affairs, while not revealing most of its funders, is known to have received funding from mining magnate Gina Rinehart and at least one major tobacco company. [39]
The book includes essays and articles from a range of climate change skeptics, with contributors including the following:
- Alan Moran
- Andrew Bolt
- Anthony Watts
- Bernard Lewin
- Christopher Essex
- Donna Laframboise
- Garth W. Paltridge
- Ian Plimer
- J. Scott Armstrong
- James Delingpole
- Jennifer Marohasy
- Joanne Nova
- John Abbot
- Kesten Green
- Mark Steyn
- Nigel Lawson
- Patrick J. Michaels
- Richard S. Lindzen
- Robert M. Carter
- Ross McKitrick
- Rupert Darwall
- Stewart Franks
- Willie Soon
According to Editor Alan Moran in a post at Catallaxy Files blog on Climate Change: the facts 2014, Ian Plimer "examines the politics behind the pseudo-science. He notes that many Western governments have a politically popular ideology involving human emission increases in carbon dioxide (CO2) bringing warming, possible catastrophic 'tipping points' and a need to phase out fossil fuels as the only means of stopping this. He dismisses the possibility of the catastrophic consequences, drawing from geological history and points to the adverse economic outcomes of attempts to drastically reduce fossil fuel based energy usage." [40]
May 30, 2014
Plimer publishes, "Not For Greens: He who sups with the Devil should have a long spoon," through Connor Court Publishing. A summary on the publisher's website, describes the book as follows:
"The processes required to make a humble stainless steel teaspoon are remarkably complicated and every stage involves risk, coal, energy, capital, international trade and finance. Stainless steel cutlery has taken thousands of years of experimentation and knowledge to evolve and the end result is that we can eat without killing ourselves with bacteria. We are in the best times to have ever lived on planet Earth and the future will only be better. All this we take for granted.
Greens may have started as genuine environmentalists. Much of the green movement has now morphed into an unelected extremist political pressure group accountable to no one. Greens create problems, many of which are concocted, and provide no solutions because of a lack of basic knowledge. This book examines green policies in the light of established knowledge and shows that they are unrealistic.
Policies by greens adopted by supine governments have resulted in rising costs, increased taxes, political instability, energy poverty, decreased longevity and environmental degradation and they don't achieve their ideological aims. Wind, solar and biomass energy emit more carbon dioxide than they save and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions does nothing to change climate and only empties the pocket. No stainless steel teaspoon could be made using green "alternative energy".
This book argues that unless the greens live sustainably in caves in the forest and use no trappings of the modern world, then they should be regarded as hypocrites and treated with the disdain they deserve." [41]
December 12, 2011
Plimer published the "anti-warmist manual," How to Get Expelled From School: A guide to climate change for pupils, parents and punters, which was reviewed by numerous sources and found to be scientifically inaccurate, containing flawed or undocumented diagrams, and sloppily edited. [7], [8], [9]
The book has been billed as the "anti-warmist manual for the younger reader" [10] and was launched by free-market think tank Institute of Public Affairs. Former Australian Prime Minister John Howard launched the book in Sydney.
The Australian Government responded with "Accurate Answers to Professor Plimer's 101 Climate Change Science Questions" (PDF), saying the questions posed in Plimer's book are "misleading and are based on inaccurate or selective interpretation of the science."
The Government report was created to "provide clear and accurate answers to Professor Plimer's questions. The answers are based on up-to-date peer reviewed science, and have been reviewed by a number of Australian climate scientists." [11]
July 2011
Plimer spoke at a private luncheon hosted by billionnaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart. Crikey reported that in the audience were several high-powered politicians and diplomats, including Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett, the state's environment minister Bill Marmion, former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda and Chinese Ambassador Chen Yuming. Rinehart described Plimer as "one of the leading sources of reasoned and factual information in Australia on global warming and climate change".
May, 2010
Plimer was a speaker at the Heartland Institute's 2010 International Conference on Climate Change. [12]
DeSmogBlog found that the sponsors for Heartland's 2009 International Conference on Climate Change had collectively received over $47 million from oil companies and right-wing foundations.
Plimer Published Heaven and Earth in 2009. The book asserts that the temperature changes we have observed in the 20th century are within the "normal range of variability," that significant global warming is not happening and that there is negligible human impact on warming.
His book was received critically, having been debunked numerous times by scientists. [13], [14]
Some critics have even accused Plimer of plagiarism. [15]
In his review of Heaven and Earth for The Australian, astronomer Michael Ashley wrote: [16]
"Plimer probably didn't expect an astronomer to review his book. I couldn't help noticing on page 120 an almost word-for-word reproduction of the abstract from a well-known loony paper…[that] argues that the sun isn't composed of 98 per cent hydrogen and helium, as astronomers have confirmed through a century of observation and theory, but is instead similar in composition to a meteorite.
"It is hard to understate the depth of scientific ignorance that the inclusion of this information demonstrates. It is comparable to a biologist claiming that plants obtain energy from magnetism rather than photosynthesis."
The Guardian's George Monbiot criticized Plimer's book, saying "Since its publication in Australia it has been ridiculed for a hilarious series of schoolboy errors, and its fudging and manipulation of the data." Plimer responded by challenging Monbiot to a public debate. [17]
Monbiot then challenged Plimer to give a set of "precise and specific responses" to his critics' points. Plimer rejected this challenge. [18]
Monbiot called Plimer "a grandstander, who wants nothing more than to make as much noise as possible in the hope that it will drown out the precise refutations published by his book's reviewers." Plimer subsequently reversed his earlier refusal, saying he would answer the questions in return for a live debate. [19]
Instead of answering the questions that Monbiot posed, Plimer responded with his own set of questions. No official debate was actually held. [20]
The two did debate, however, on ABC's Lateline in December, 2009. Monbiot concluded that Plimer had "used evasion and distraction when faced with straight questions," and that the overall view was that "Plimer had been soundly thrashed." [21]
December, 2009
During the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 (COP15), Plimer spoke at a rival conference in Copenhagen called the Copenhagen Climate Challenge, which was organized by the climate change skeptic group Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT). [22]
Among Plimer's arguments at the conference is how carbon dioxide is "not a pollutant, it is plant food." See footage of Plimer here. [23]
While the UN's conference attracted 33,200, the skeptics attracted only 60 people. "They've got us outnumbered, but we've got them outgunned, and that's with the truth," Plimer said at the conclusion.
- Natural Resources Stewardship Project (NRSP) — Past "Allied Expert." The NRSP is now defunct. [24]

- Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) — Member, "Academic Advisory Council." [26]

Steven Schneider, Nebraska Territory
|Hansen has a good ear for the music of landscape and language. Prairie Suite is a work that strives to make the elements of the natural world of the tallgrass prairie a part of our personal and cultural imaginations [,…] a celebration of the things we too often overlook and the things that still persist in spite of all we've done to them. Tom Lynch, Assistant Professor of English, University of Nebraska Lincoln
Twyla Hansen has written about true things a book full of honest speech by a poet
who loves the small beauties of everyday life, one you'll share with people you care

Sportscaster Lindsey Nelson, 76, known for his easygoing on-air manner and the eyesore sport jackets he sought out for their loudness, died on June 10 in Atlanta of complications of Parkinson's disease and pneumonia. A veteran announcer for NBC (1952-62), the New York Mets (1962-78) and the San Francisco Giants (1979-81), he is recognized in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum....
Ex-Minnesota Twins shortstop Zoilo Versalles, 55, who in 1965 became the first Latin-American to be named the American League's most valuable player, died on June 9 in Bloomington, Minn. No cause of death has been released. After leaving baseball in 1971 due to a back injury, the Cuban-born Versalles worked odd jobs and had to sell his trophies to make ends meet.
Hillary Rodham Clinton has a new nephew, Zachary Boxer Rodham (5 lbs., 7 ozs.), born to Hillary's brother Tony Rodham, 40, a consultant, and his wife, Nicole Boxer-Rodham, 27, a film executive, June 9 in Miami. He is their first child. Nicole's mom, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.), flew in from Washington the day of the birth.
A spokesman for Sylvester Stallone, 48, confirmed on June 9 rumors that the actor and his fiancée of less than three months, model Angie Everhart, 25, have split. Not one to sit home moping, Stallone spent June 10 snuggling with an ex-flame, model-actress Jennifer Flavin, at a Planet Hollywood opening in Honolulu. (Sly and Flavin were an item for five years, until he dumped her via a letter sent Federal Express last year.)
Around 12:30 a.m. on June 11, rocker Courtney Love, 30, was admitted to a Seattle hospital after medics arrived at her house—the same one where her husband, Kurt Cobain, committed suicide 14 months ago—in response to a call, reportedly made by a friend, about a drug overdose. Love was released from the hospital 12 hours later. Her record company says she had accidentally taken too many prescription sedatives on June 10 while flying back to Seattle from New York City. There is no word on where Love's daughter, Frances, 2, was at the time of the incident, and Child Protective Services in Seattle said it has no plans to investigate....

Apply 2-3 pumps of the retinol onto clean skin. After retinol has absorbed into the skin, follow with a moisturizer. Begin using 1-2 times a week at night. Gradually build up to every other night and then every night as tolerated by your skin. Use a sunscreen daily to avoid photosensitivity.
This ingredient occurs naturally in the dermis layer. Its water absorbing abilities help the epidermis achieves much needed suppleness and moisture. Known for its wonderful water binding ability, this acid holds water tightly, and when applied to the skin, forms a film similar to the way it holds water in the intercellular matrix of the dermal connective tissue. It is also useful as a carrier for other extracts and active ingredients.

For patients coping with cancer, the American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery program offers much more than transportation.
Marie Ridel has participated in the Road to Recovery program for more than a year and a half. For her, the volunteers who drive her to and from her appointments are an important support system in a difficult time.
"I live alone, and I can't depend on my family to take me every time I have to go for treatments, so these people are here, and I'll tell you, they are the most wonderful people in the world to me. They make my day," she said.
Ridel is 83 years old and has struggled with breast cancer since 1993.
"It's been an on-and-off thing," she said. "I've been a survivor, and it comes back. This is my third time around."
The Road to Recovery program offers free rides for cancer patients who are unable to arrange private transportation or who are too sick to drive themselves.

"We have trained volunteer drivers who take cancer patients to their treatment and doctor appointments," said Debbie Moore, health initiatives representative at the American Cancer Society. "Cancer patients need to go to their treatment appointments. For those getting radiation, their appointments could be five days a week for six weeks or longer, so even the best-intending families find that they need some help."
In Trumbull County last year, nine volunteer drivers provided 600 rides for cancer patients, and in Mahoning County, 19 drivers provided 1,800 rides, but the need for drivers remains critical.
"We're finding that we are having to turn cancer patients away," Moore said. "They need the transportation, and we don't have enough drivers."
For volunteers, providing critical transportation to those in need is a vehicle for personal fulfillment and friendship.
"What I'm seeing with volunteers is that there is some personal tie to cancer with them, so whether they've been in the medical profession, whether they're a cancer survivor themselves or whether they've had a family member who's experienced cancer, that's oftentimes the case," Moore said.
"I'm a lot like the person she was just describing," volunteer driver Cynthia Phillips said. "I am in the medical field. I spent the last 10 years as a hospice nurse. I lost my husband in 1988 to cancer, and I'm a breast cancer survivor. I've lost family members to cancer also - my mom and dad - and I have two sisters who are breast cancer survivors."
Phillips frequently drives Ridel to her appointments.
"Some patients, like Marie, live alone," she said. "She's somebody I can be friends with and take her to her appointments. Marie and I just connected. She's a very special person."
"I've only known her for about eight months, but it feels like I've known her for 20 years," Ridel said.
"I miss that relationship, that patient-nurse relationship," Phillips said. "Although I'm not a nurse, I'm a volunteer driver, and I can give back in another way. I can just be a friend."
"They're support," Ridel said. "They're somebody that you can talk to because they've usually had cancer or somebody in their family has had cancer, so they sympathize with you. They know what you're talking about. Usually, we just have a normal conversation like you're talking to a friend. You talk about the weather, you talk about work. One of the drivers loves to dance, and I love to dance, so we talk about the '40s, you know, all the old places. We laugh. They're like family. I love them all."
"Transportation is often the missing piece," Phillips said. "We fill in the gaps, and it makes their life so much easier. They don't have to worry about calling a cousin or a neighbor. They know that their driver is going to be there and it makes their life a little bit easier."
"The best thing you can give a person is time," Ridel said, "but nobody has it. It doesn't cost a dime, it doesn't cost anything but nobody has it, or nobody gives it."
Volunteer drivers who give their time providing transportation sometimes help carry the load, and for Ridel, "they're all wonderful. I don't consider myself a special person, but they're all so special to me."

Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg will always remember his toddler's bravery after she fell ill with leukemia.
Diagnosed in 1980, Sara Goldberg would routinely tell her fellow young patients, "Don't cry," her father says. And she would reassure him by saying, "It's okay, Daddy."
Sara died at age 2. "Thirty-one years later," says her father, "I still cry."
It's the memory of Sara's courageous battle that drove Goldberg to found Kids Kicking Cancer, a nonprofit dedicated to providing children with cancer and other serious diseases with free lessons in martial arts, breathing techniques and meditation.
To date Goldberg, 56 – a black belt in Choi Kwon Do who teaches at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit – has provided free classes to 6,100 children. Since March 2012, Kids Kicking Cancer has also expanded with programs in Israel, London, Ontario, Italy and New York.
"When you see a child gain the ability to do this for themselves, and then see them light up, in the midst of all this darkness – it's the most beautiful light in the world," says Goldberg.
Aside from mastering kicks, Goldberg's students also hone skills they say help them cope off the mats.
"Power-breathing helps you push out the pain and anger," says Desireé Smith, 12, "and let in the good."
In remission for about a year and a half, leukemia survivor Sara Budzynski, 15, (who has put together a fundraiser for Kids Kicking Cancer) says that she is "forever thankful" for the program and shared with PEOPLE the top lesson she picked up along the way.
"The biggest thing I've learned?" she says. "Not to give up."

Luffa: The all purpose vegetable.
Luffa: The all purpose vegetable.
My summer kitchen garden is never complete without a luffa vine.
Off all the vegetables I find luffa, the most useful and gratifying.
Each year, I keenly wait for the summer to plant my luffa seeds.
Luffa is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, other members of which include melons, gourds and squash.
Its is an annual, fast growing tropical-semitropical vine with large leaves and green fruits that turn yellow or brown when ripe .The fruit is edible while immature, and mature fruit is used as body scrubs and exfoliate. The seeds yield edible oil.
The plant most likely originated in India, but is also native to Africa Arabs call it "luff".Its most sort after toiletry item in Egypt. The wild form of angled luffais indigenous to Indo -Pakistan.
Luffa seeds have been found in both Roman and Egyptian archaeology sites, and it has been used as in WWII in surgical operations, as a filter in the, as cushioning material in vehicle seats and heat insulation.
Luffa is not only delicious but also very rewarding, and fun thing to have in your garden. The vine can grow to great lengths producing beautiful yellow flowers all summer. When the vines blooms, Bees of all types and other pollinating insects are attracted to the big yellow flowers .If the vine is loaded with flowers you can even hear humming of bees. Ants also spend a lot of time on luffa vines. Seeds for this plant are readily available and you'll only have to buy seeds once, as mature Luffa will produce at least 30 seeds. I have collected more then 100 seeds from one big mature luffa.
Luffa is a hot weather plant .It grows very easily here in Pakistan. In fact as soon as the spring arrives, you can see luffa seeds sprouting, which were spilled on ground from last year harvest.
Plant requires full sun. Mature seeds are typically dark and hard. Luffa seeds look similar to watermelon seeds but, with bitter taste. Luffa can be grown by directly planting into the ground as soon as the weather turns warm. Plant 3 to 4 seeds about 1/2 inch deep in small hills of soil. It takes 4 to 5 days for fresh seeds to germinate in ideal conditions.
Luffa can also be grown in 3to 5 gallon size container with good drainage. It best to put container, where you want as it, can't be moved once the vines attach tendrils to other objects. It requires trellis or other support structure. The vine scrambles over anything in its path. It will climb over most obstacles. And if unchecked they will grow over near by trees and ever thing which comes in its way. The vines can also be grow on the ground, on a well drained soil, but tend to produce curved fruit.
Provide this plant with lots of sun and don't let the soil get too dry. Luffa plants prefer good well drained soil but seem to tolerate a fairly wide range of soil type's .once the plants send out the first normal leaf or two, the luffa saplings are ready to transplant. The plant is sensitive to transplant shock so be careful when planting.
It takes about three or four months until the fruits can be harvested for eating, and about four or five for harvesting of the mature fruit for sponge purpose and seeds.
The pollinated base will develop into luffah .The growth is remarkably rapid. One day it is inch long and after two days it's ready to pluck.
Dish Cloth Sponge, is material obtained from the fruit of the sponge luffa. The fibrous skeleton of the luffa is used as a sponge and to exfoliate the skin. The sponges should be allowed to dry completely because they have been found to support the growth of numerous bacteria.
The fruit should be harvested at maturity, when the fruit looses its green color (most will turn brown) and the seeds will rattle when it is shaken. The fruit can be cut from the vine and the skin peeled, and seeds removed.
Young fruit can be eaten raw like cucumber or in salads or cooked, while the young.
Luffa "sponge" is rubbed against the skin to remove dead skin and stimulate blood circulation. Luffa charcoal, which is prepared by heating luffa fibers, is applied directly to the skin for shingles in the face and eye region.
Powdered luffa is used in skin care products to reduce swelling and "detoxify" the skin.
Luffa is an astringent, pain killing herb that controls bleeding and promotes healing, while at the same time boosting circulation.
It is used for rheumatism, backache, internal hemorrhage, chest pains, as well as hemorrhoids. Some people use it for arthritis pain and muscle pain.
Luffa is taken for treating and preventing colds. It is also used for nasal swelling and sinus problems. Women use luffa to restore absent menstrual periods. Nursing mothers use it to increase milk flow.
Enjoy this amazing vegetable this summer, and save some mature ones for sponge and seeds for next year harvest.

The QC delegation arrives at the Dioba refugee camp bordering the Republic of Central Africa to distribute basic relief items.
Doha: Qatar Charity (QC) distributed relief to 1,000 refugee families in Chad in Central Africa and targets to help 20,000 families in six months.
Aid distribution started with the arrival of a QC delegation which is at the Dioba refugee camp bordering the Republic of Central Africa.
Sheikh Hussein Hassan, Secretary-General of Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs in Chad, welcomed the delegation of QC which is the first Arab charity to visit Chad to support refugees in the southern border area.
The delegation met partners, including government agencies and UN organisations, to coordinate the distribution of aid. It also met officials of the council to set up a mechanism to distribute aid.
The Qatari Ambassador also welcomed the delegation and praised QC's support for refugees.
In the first phase, basic items such as milk, rice, powdered milk and edible oil were distributed to each family.
The delegation also visited health facilities at the camp and distributed gifts to children, especially orphans who have lost one or both parents.
Ibrahim Zenal, Deputy Executive Chairman for International Development, QC, said the charity plans to support 20,000 refugee families by providing them with food, shelter, water and health facilities worth QR13m in the next six months.
He said the delegation was there to see ground reality, adding that many children at the camp did not know anything about their parents and needed urgent support.
Data from international organisations shows that 2.5m of Central African population need urgent humanitarian support, 840,000 have been displaced internally in Central Africa and 250,000 have taken refuge in Chad, Congo and other neighbouring countries.

The development of our custom made enclosures for our 0.4m telescopes is continuing. The project is called Aqawan, which is the Chumash word for 'to be dry'. Have a look at my previous blog entry about the aqawan design.
We have the prototype installed in the parking lot of our Santa Barbara headquarters, housing a 0.4m telescope we are using for testing purposes. This prototype aqawan is slightly smaller than the version which will be rolled out to our observing sites, the final version allowing for 2 0.4m telescopes to be housed. Very soon (early-mid February 2010) one of these dual aqawan enclosures will be installed in the parking lot.
The design has undergone some revisions recently. The walls of the enclosure have been made slightly taller to 5'/150cm. This will further improve the seeing of the telescopes in the enclosure. It will also give more room for the installation, maintenance, and upgrades of equipment. This introduces an extra flexibility into the 3 piers that each telescope will rest on, as their height also has to be increased. This will hopefully make the installation and alignment of the telescopes a little easier. We will be tying the piers together into a more rigid structure.
The control panel for the telescope is now going to be a completely separate to that of the enclosure. This will allow us to install the aqawans at the various observatory sites and independantly install the telescopes. It will also make it less complicated to perform upgrades.
Once the dual aqawan is installed in Santa Barbara we will have more news for you, and plenty of photos.
