Women entrepreneurs get approximately 15% of angel investments and also represent 15% of angels. Likewise, women entrepeneurs receive 6-10% of venture investments and represent 7% of venture capital investors. Guess what? We need more women investors.
Last fall, I decided to explore angel investing because I love ideas that are scalable and I wanted to invest in early stage companies. I told a few people and was surprised at how quickly the introductions to entrepreneurs started flowing in. This is one of the advantages of living in the San Francisco area, which has an incredibly energetic and welcoming angel ecosystem. Just do it.

Dr Payne's suggestion for a warning label is a practical one. Such a stick-on label is available from Vendo of California, free. However, the label is too small, measuring 6.4×8.3 cm (21/2 × 3 1/4 in). It is removable and it is not issued with the machine. To be effective, such a label should be large, nonremovable, part of the manufactured machine, and displayed prominently on the front of the machine at eye level.I believe that these machines are intrinsically unstable and that redesigning is necessary. They are top-heavy, standing on a narrow base. Hence, they tip over at very small angles of inclination. When interviewed, the patients stated that it was easy to tip the machines, despite their intimidating size and weight. Additional engineering analysis has revealed that even smaller forces applied correctly can tip the machine. It is possible to rock the machine, using the

TREATMENT of chronic schizophrenic patients has shifted from prolonged to shortterm hospitalization with a resultant high incidence of rehospitalization and a significant degree of morbidity within the community.13 This shift makes it imperative to provide chronically ill schizophrenic patients with effective aftercare. The Community Psychiatric Service of the University of Pennsylvania places considerable emphasis on helping discharged patients to remain in the community using a range of aftercare facilities; despite this emphasis, 30% of the schizophrenic patients admitted to the hospital are experiencing readmissions. The present study was undertaken to delineate the reasons for the failure of the aftercare facilities to prevent rehospitalization. The events leading to the readmission of 45 schizophrenic patients were studied and the patients' clinical course was observed for one year after their discharge. During this period of follow-up methods for preventing a recurrence of

Only one in five of us has any plans for care in old age
Published 22/11/2011
More than four out of five people in Northern Ireland have made no provision for their care in the future, a survey has found.
The 2010 Northern Ireland Life and Times (NILT) survey also revealed that just 20% of people believe the current system of funding social care is fair.
The results of the research come as a major new report released yesterday warned Northern Ireland's social care system will be stretched to breaking point in future with a rising elderly population and spiralling costs.
The Social Care in Northern Ireland report has prompted fears the extra pressure will prove too much for an already stretched system — leaving the elderly and vulnerable facing massive bills for care in the future or very difficult choices.
Today's NILT survey has revealed elderly people are worried about the level of care they will receive if they have to move into a care home. One third of over 65s who responded said their greatest fear is having to leave their own home.
Almost 80% of respondents supported the idea that care should be free at the point of delivery but must be funded by a special tax or insurance. However, a significant proportion also expressed support for care to be delivered on a means-tested basis.
More than 1,200 adults took part in the survey which explored public perception of the social care system and people's views on future policy.
Dr Ann Marie Gray, one of the report's authors, said: "While growing life expectancy means that there will be greater reliance on social care services in future, the system is under pressure now.
"The policy response needs to take account of public opinion and needs to look to the long term."

Richard Nixon's Burros
Read this post, then take a survey! http://bit.ly/mysciblogreaders
More details at the end of this post.
Forty years ago yesterday, Richard Milhous Nixon resigned from the presidency of the United States of America.
Whatever you might think of Nixon's presidency, his politics or his party the fact remains that Nixon displayed the best of intentions toward our wild free-roaming burros…and horses.
On December 15, 1971, Nixon signed The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 (the Act). In a feat that would be impossible in today's polarized political climate, Congress had passed the Act unanimously.
Section 1331 of the Act lays out Congress' findings and declarations of policy regarding wild horses and burros as follows:
"Congress finds and declares that wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West; that they contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people; and that these horses and burros are fast disappearing from the American scene. It is the policy of Congress that wild free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture, branding, harassment, or death; and to accomplish this they are to be considered in the area where presently found, as an integral part of the natural system of the public lands."
The wild horses and burros that roam our public lands have ignited passions on both sides of the fence. On the one hand, some wild horse advocates believe that wild horses and burros should be declared endangered because of ineffective implementation of the Act. On the other hand, some believe that wild horses and burros destroy land and resources required by grazing cattle and bighorn sheep. The horse/burro/cattle controversy has even been aired in the context of the Cliven Bundy standoff.
Unfortunately, Nixon's well-intentioned act has led to the sequestration of tens of thousands of "excess" horses and burros in holding facilities across the country, all at great expense.
Good Horse Sense or Absence of Science?
Free-roaming horses and burros were defined in section 1332 of the Act as "all unbranded and unclaimed horses and burros on public lands of the United States," including lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service.
In essence the Act provided that wild free-roaming horses and burros roaming federal lands at the time the law was passed would be protected on those lands.
These animals were to be managed by the Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture (the Secretaries) depending on whether the horses and burros roamed BLM or Forest Service lands. Management included keeping an inventory of the numbers of these animals on public lands, determining whether these lands were overpopulated with wild horses and burros and taking action to remove excess animals.
As amended in 1978, the Act defined "excess animals" as wild free-roaming horses or burros that had been removed or must be removed from a protected area in order to preserve ecological balance and prevent interference with conflicting uses of the land. These animals could be adopted or, if unadoptable, destroyed in a "humane" and "cost-efficient" manner.
The Secretaries were tasked with managing wild free-roaming horses and burros "in a manner that is designed to achieve and maintain a thriving natural ecological balance on the public lands." [Section 1333 (a)]
In determining whether animals should be removed from public lands or destroyed, the Act required the Secretaries to consult with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, wildlife agencies of the State or States where wild free-roaming horses and burros are located" and "such individuals independent of Federal and State government as have been recommended by the National Academy of Science…."
Last year, an independent committee established by the NAC to review the oversight of wild free-roaming horses and burros released a report on the BLM's management of these animals. The report, "Using Science to Improve the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program: A Way Forward (2013)" found as follows: "The Wild Horse and Burro Program has not used scientifically rigorous methods to estimate the population sizes of horses and burros, to model the effects of management actions on the animals, or to assess the availability and use of forage on rangelands."
In other words, the report alleged that protected animals were being removed and, in some cases, destroyed based upon bad science.
Since the NAC's report, a survey of a wild horse and burro Herd Management Area found that the 2010 removal of 1581 wild horses and 159 wild burros from the Twin Peaks Herd Management Area (789,852 acres of primarily public land) was not warranted.
The survey suggested that too little forage (18 percent) had been allocated to the horses and burros compared to the 82 percent allocated to grazing livestock. In addition, the survey said that horses and burros were natural restorers of burned-over areas in the herd management area and that the previous removals had reduced the genetic diversity in the remaining populations of wild horses and burros.
Managing our wild free-roaming horses and burros is a complex issue, especially as the majority of the budget for maintaining them (64 percent in 2013) is spent on caring for removed horses and burros living in private holding facilities. The cost of the Watergate Scandal has been estimated at over 166 million dollars. According to at least one authority, the management of our wild horses and burros may very well cost us 300 million by the middle of 2020.
Perhaps with the application of rigorous science and some good old horse sense, we can begin to manage our wild horses and burros in a more balanced, ecological and sustainable manner.
Note by the author: This is a complex issue that cannot be covered adequately in a single blog post. The story of wild free-roaming horses and burros will be revisited in subsequent posts.
Help us do some science! I've teamed up with researcher Paige Brown Jarreau to create a survey of The Tenacious Telomere readers. By participating, you'll be helping me improve The Tenacious Telomere. You'll also be contributing to novel academic research on the readers of science blogs. It should only take 10-15 minutes to complete. You can find the survey at the link below.
In exchange for completing the survey, readers will be entered into a drawing for a $50.00 Amazon gift card (100 available, or guaranteed 2 per specific blog included in this survey), as well as for other prizes (t-shirts). Every single participant will also receive an art perk from researcher Paige Brown Jarreau.

The 2013 Watchung Hills Women's Lacrosse team's goal was to end their season with no regrets. A previously unsuccessful program in past years, this current team set out to be different. They stand at 11-4, accumulating more wins than the last two years combined. The Warriors have an upcoming state playoff game against Montclair.
At one point Watchung Hills was ranked fifteenth in New Jersey, beating a previously undefeated Delaware Valley Regional High School. "We wanted to be better," said senior captain Gabby Arancio. She leads a tight-knit group of nine seniors, which includes co-captains Whitney Lazo, Alana Paolella and Courtney Novak. Harley Maslin, Hannah Yuhl, Haley Rawson, and Nikki Rose round out this strong senior class. "We knew how high our ceiling was, we're a special group," Arancio added. Freshman goaltender Kiera Vrindten has eclipsed 100 saves on the season, an incredible mark for a first year player. Vrindten has played an enormous part in the Warriors record-setting campaign.
What separates this group from an ordinary team is that they are extremely close. "We're best friends," Arancio stated. Students at Watching Hills Regional High School can agree- noticing the team eating lunch, "horsing" around in the hallway, and even walking to class together. "We have so much fun playing together and always have each others backs," added Harley Maslin.
After wins and even losses, they fill student's social media feeds with exciting posts towards their teammates. A widespread sense of school spirit has been felt through this special team, and regardless of how the season ends; this group of girls will not be forgotten.

Mukesh Ambani retains top spot on Forbes wealth list
ndia's slowing economy got a lift when the government decided to ease rules for foreign investments in September. The reforms perked up the Mumbai Sensex by 10% over the past 12 months, enabling the country's 100 richest to realize modest gains. Their collective net worth is up 3.7% to $250 billion compared to $241 billion a year ago. But according to this year's Forbes India rich list, those gains were uneven as seven lost more than a billion and six gained at least that. The complete list will be available in the upcoming edition of Forbes India, available from 2nd November 2012.
For the fifth year in a row, Mukesh Ambani retains the top spot with a net worth of $21 billion, despite his fortune falling for third year in a row. His company Reliance Industries remains India's most valuable company. Lakshmi Mittal holds on at No.2 with $16 billion, down $3.2 billion since last year as shares of his ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, were under pressure due to rising costs and slumping demand in Europe. Azim Premji founder of outsourcing company, Wipro, is ranked No. 3 on the list with a net worth of $12.2 billion, lower by $800 million from a year ago.
Image: B Mathur / Reuters
The biggest dollar gainer was pharma tycoon Dilip Shanghvi, who broke into the top 5 for the first time with a $2.5 billion jump, as shares of his Sun Pharmaceutical soared. His net worth is $9.2 billion. Fellow pharma entrepreneur, Wockhardt's Habil Khorakiwala, who rejoined the billionaires ranks, was the year's biggest percentage gainer with a net worth of $1.8 billion.
There are now 61 billionaires in all, four more than last year. Among them are the Hinduja brothers who debut with an estimated $8 billion fortune. While 3 of the siblings are not Indian citizens, their expanding business ties to India made them candidates this year. They are also the richest of the 11 newcomers to the list. The youngest newcomer is 40-year-old Ranjan Pai (No. 63), credited with turning his Manipal Group into a global brand in education, who enters the list with $975 million.
The minimum net worth to make the list increased from $370 million last year to $460 million this year.
The top ten richest in India are:
1) Mukesh Ambani; US$21 billion
Mukesh Ambani is the richest Indian for the fifth consecutive year; his net worth is $21 billion and he derives most of his wealth from oil & gas. Though his fortune dropped by $1.6 billion in the past year, his Reliance Industries remains India's most valuable company by market cap.
2) Lakshmi Mittal; $16 billion
Steel baron Lakshmi Mittal is second on the list with a net worth of $16 billion. His fortune dropped more than $3 billion in the past year, and $10 billion in two years as shares of his ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, tanked due to surging costs and slumping demand in Europe.
3) Azim Premji; $12.2 billion
Though shares of his Wipro remained virtually flat in what is seen as a difficult market for outsourcing firms, Azim Premji's net worth rose to $12.2 billion, making him the third richest on the list. Asia's most generous person, Premji donated $2 billion from his personal wealth in 2010 to his foundation.
4) Pallonji Mistry; $9.8 billion
Patriarch of construction giant Shapoorji Pallonji Group, Pallonji Mistry is the fourth richest with a net worth of $9.8 billion. His family's fortune is up $2.2 billion this year, after it disclosed new information on their privately held group. Mistry's family is the biggest shareholder in Tata Sons; his younger son Cyrus has been appointed Ratan Tata's successor.
5) Dilip Shanghvi; $9.2 billion
Dilip Shanghvi enters the top five for the first time as shares of his Sun Pharmaceutical, which he founded in 1982, gained 48 percent in 12 months, hitting a record high in October. It is the country's most valuable drug maker with a market cap of $14 billion. Shanghvi's net worth is $9.2 billion.
6) Adi Godrej; $9 billion
Third generation to head the 115-year-old Godrej Group, a $3.8 billion (revenues) consumer goods conglomerate, Adi Godrej is the sixth in the list with a net worth of $9 billion. His family's fortune is up due to rising value of their biggest asset, a 3,500 acre estate in suburban Mumbai.
7) Savitri Jindal; $8.2 billion
It's been a tough year for the OP Jindal Group, steel and power conglomerate founded by her late husband, which Savitri Jindal chairs. Her family's fortune fell $1.3 billion in the past year and is down $6.2 billion in two years. She is seventh on the list and her net worth is down to $8.2 billion.
8) Shashi & Ravi Ruia; $8.1 billion
Brothers Shashi and Ravi Ruia have a combined net worth of $8.1 billion. Their Essar Group is a $27 billion (revenues) conglomerate with operations in 25 countries. Their fortune declined this year as shares of its London-listed Essar Energy more than halved; the group's $12 billion debt is a concern too.
9) Hinduja Brothers; $8 billion
The Hinduja brothers [Srichand (L), Gopichand (C) and Prakash (R) and Ashok] make their debut this year riding on a renewed focus on Indian operations. Their net worth is $8 billion. Their flagship Ashok Leyland has a 25 percent share of the commercial vehicles market in India. Internationally, the group is beefing up its automotive, oil and wealth management operations.
10) Kumar Manglam Birla; $7.8 billion
At 45, Kumar Mangalam Birla is the youngest of the top ten billionaires. His net worth is $7.8 billion and his $40 billion (revenues) Aditya Birla Group is racing ahead to meet the target of $65 billion turnover by 2015. In the past one year, he has been busy deal making across businesses from retail to mining and media.
The Forbes India rich list special edition will hit stands on 2nd November. Indrajit Gupta, Editor, Forbes (India) said, "This edition of the Forbes India Rich List comes at an extraordinary moment in India's history. We need a new burst of entrepreneurial energy, creativity and innovation to lift our economy out of its self induced stupor. Else, we could simply lose our way. In this collectors issue of Forbes India magazine we do not just list who's gained and how much, but present lessons from stalwarts like Harsh Mariwala and Kishore Biyani who've been there and done it all; and accounts of whom to watch out for like Nisa Godrej and Satyan Gajwani."
This list was compiled using shareholding and financial information obtained from the families and individuals, stock exchanges, analysts and India's regulatory agencies. The ranking lists family fortunes, including those shared among extended families. Public fortunes were calculated based on stock prices and exchange rates as of Oct. 12. Private companies were valued based on similar companies that are publicly traded.
Slideshow: The Top 10 Richest Indians
We Indians, (sic Common Man) have one doubt haunting since my knowledge in Economics. How these Billionaires are growing faster than the Indian Economic Growth, while common man sliding faster down, and at the same time our government has no trees to reap currency for maximum social benefit. From which trees these people reaping Billions in the same field called Indian Economy.
Sir I was told by my teachers and so I'm to my students that 'supply creates its demand', as well said by J. B. Say. There is small story named circular flow of income. Income flow from business firms to households in the form of wages, and the same wages flow back to business firms in the form of money expenditure in purchasing goods and services, creating demand for the goods and services which they supplied. If it was quite true why we have income inequalities? It was quite evident from this simple story that these billionaires are paying less wages or under wages. This may not sweetest story to read, but if we allow (sorry you policy makers) the pretty game there may be economic crises due shortfall aggregate demand. These billionaires will lose their markets to sell.
At this outset I could conclude this story saying these billionaires has to preserve the aggregate demand by paying well to the society.

five measures to open a lender account
1. Decide what type of account you'll need
Opt for a cost savings account should you be searching for a location to help you save dollars about a brief period of time, but still maintain it readily obtainable. Decide on a chequing account to maintain cash that you choose to want to use for day-to-day spending or to pay expenditures more than the temporary. You are going to make significantly less desire than by using a cost savings account.
2. Look for an account along with the products and services you may use most
In particular, take into consideration how you are likely to place money in and just take it out:
branch – make deposits and withdrawals employing a teller or ATM
debit card – invest in a little something or get funds in a retail store
cheques – pay payments
immediate debit – pay payments quickly from a account every month
direct deposit – have your pay back put into your account
Net or phone banking – to get a array of transactions
three. Shop all around to compare charges and charges
Realize the assistance expenses you can be charged in advance of you open up an account. Seem for accounts that cost the bottom service fees to the services you will need. And look at interest levels. They will differ throughout money establishments.
4. Decide on a economical institution and location
Choose one which includes branches or lender equipment situated near to where you dwell or operate.
five. Open up your account
You can expect to must give individual info these as your handle, date of beginning, social coverage range, career title and mobile phone numbers when you total the account application. You may also must display 2 parts of suitable identification. One of these has to be within the governing administration. Then make your 1st deposit.

Sharks and Rays of Australia
Second Edition
Maps, Colour illustrations, Line Art, Colour Paintings
656 pages, 302 x 225 mm
CSIRO Publishing
The waters around Australia are home to the greatest diversity of sharks and rays on Earth. Spookfish, numbfish, stingarees, fiddler rays and cookie-cutter sharks are just some of the 322 shark, ray and chimaerid species illustrated in the latest edition of Sharks and Rays of Australia.
Australia's sharks, rays and chimaerids — collectively known as Chondrichthyans — are just as intriguing as their names suggest. Their eclectic colours, shapes and patterns reflect environments ranging from remote estuaries to ocean depths. Their new descriptions, and their striking portraits by watercolourist Roger Swainston, will help to guide the identification and conservation of these diverse species.
The first edition of Sharks and Rays of Australia was produced in 1994. Since then, 29 species have been discovered in Australian seas and more than 100 species have been named and formally described. As well as documenting these advances, the new edition includes updated species classifications and descriptions, distribution maps, line illustrations by Georgina Davis, family keys and outlines of Chondrichthyan biology and interactions with humans. The book catalogues a rich seam of Australia's marine biodiversity, providing an indispensible compendium for scientists and a baseline reference for the fishing industry.
Sharks and Rays of Australia is an essential reference for professional and recreational fishermen, divers, naturalists, students, fish and conservation biologists, and anyone interested in sharks and rays.
All in all this is a superb book. Anyone interested in Australia's fish (or fishing) will find it both useful and informative...a highly commendable contribution to the appreciation, understanding, and conservation of this group of fishes and I want to thank the editors, Peter Last and John Stevens, and CSIRO Publications for a job well-done."
Harry F Recher, Pacific Conservation Biology, Volume 17, No 1, 2011
"…an obligatory reference for those interested in the sharks and rays of the Southern Hemisphere. It is a great credit to their hard work that this new edition does not contain a single undescribed species. The colour plates (paintings) are stunning in their artistry and quality. I thought the first edition was excellent, but it is far surpassed by the second edition. I suggest users buy one quickly before this edition also sells out."
Malcolm Francis, New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Science, Vol 43, 2009

Elderly runner got late start
PHILADELPHIA -- Hugh Campbell started running at age 86, joined a running club at 87, and broke the world indoor record in 3,000 meters for his age group at the University of Delaware in March, at 88.
"They got all excited," said Campbell, "because they found when they had a world-record beater, there was a need for a drug test, and they didn't know what in the world to do about it."
He waited for nearly an hour as officials huddled. "The new masters drug-testing rules were difficult to interpret," said Robin Jefferis, a meet official. They finally sent him home, concluding no test was needed. Hugh is sure he would have passed.
"The only pill I take," he says, "is a multivitamin."
Campbell, of Wilmington, Del., attributes his record times to "fresh legs" -- the very fact that he never ran before. But more satisfying than setting any record has been discovering a new sense of purpose and joy so late in life.
"My take is this is great," said his wife of 55 years, Naomi. "An 88-year-old man comes alive!"
He protests. "Are you trying to say I wasn't alive before I was 88?"
"No, you were alive, then, too," she clarifies. "But it's better!"
She laughs and explains: "He's happy."
One way of looking at Campbell's success as an old runner is that his whole life has been preparation for it.
Born in Canada, in Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, he joined the Canadian Navy in 1944, and after the war earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He spent his career with DuPont and retired in 1985 at age 60. "I've been retired nearly as long as I worked," he says.
He is the youngest of 10. His oldest sister died at 104. A brother lived to 101. Other siblings thrived well into their 90s. Virtually every day since he retired, until he started running, he played golf. He had a foursome with other retirees. Two died, and the third grew ill. So he started golfing with his son.
Two years ago, feeling an urge he can't explain, Campbell ran around the block. He wasn't tired.
So he measured a three-quarter-mile loop with his car, and soon he was running four laps. In May 2011, he entered his first race at the Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church in Wilmington. Naomi Campbell tells the story: A woman at the registration table saw his age and said, "You've been running a long time, haven't you?"
"No," Hugh Campbell replied. "This is my first race."
"Why are you starting now?" the woman asked.
"Because I figured before I die, I wanted to run a race."
"Oh, it's on your bucket list."
When he finished, said Naomi Campbell, "and didn't look like he was going to drop dead, the gal came up and gave him a big hug."
Hugh Campbell can't recall his time. "My mind isn't as capable as my legs anymore."
At first, his knees ached, and he went to his doctor, then to rehab. He didn't quit. Research shows that the very old can still build muscle and increase strength. Soon the pain went away, and what was left was the joy of running, improving.
In May, at 87, he was running one morning at Delcastle Recreation Area near his home. He met Dave McCorquodale, 68, who soon hopes to complete his 100th marathon. The two got to talking. McCorquodale runs for the Pike Creek Valley Running Club, one of 10 masters clubs in the region, including the Greater Philadelphia Track Club. McCorquodale knew immediately what a recruit Campbell could be.
The 10 clubs vie against one other in the Grand Prix Challenge. Runners compete in age groups, 40-44, 45-49, and so on. Hugh runs in 85-89. Each runner gets an "age grade" -- his time compared to the world record in his age group.
If you equal a world record, your grade is 100.
"An age grade of 90 or above is considered world-class," McCorquodale said. "Kenyans get that kind of age grade."
The team with the best age-grade runners wins.
McCorquodale and others urged Campbell to run a USA Track & Field 5k race in Syracuse, N.Y., in September.
As he finished, Campbell said, "there was an announcer calling out, 'Here comes Hugh Campbell, and he's breaking a world record!' That's pretty exciting."
Campbell ran 26 minutes, 45 seconds, smashing the 27:42 record, achieving an age grade of 101.93. (His time ended up only a U.S. record. A younger Brit, just 85, ran 24:57 last fall.)
Campbell broke his own U.S. record March 16 at the Adrenalin 5K in Haddonfield, N.J., running 26:33, averaging 8:32 a mile.
He is the top individual in the 10-team grand prix, and his club is leading.
"Here's a guy that's world class," said McCorquodale, "but he's a work in progress because he doesn't really know how to run. It's fascinating."
How can Hugh run so fast at 88?
One reason is genetics. Scientists now believe people like Campbell and his siblings, who live to be very old in good health, have the same bad genes as everybody else.
But they also may have "protective variants," genes that slow aging and decrease risk of disease, said Boston University's Tom Perls, head of the New England Centenarian Study.
Hugh also exercised and ate right.
"Aging is not something that happens to you," said physiologist Wojtek J. Chodzko-Zajko, of the University of Illinois. "Your decisions definitely have an impact."
Campbell has his own theory: "I've played golf almost every day for the last 25 years," he said. "I like to walk when I play golf, and carry my clubs. That gave me the kind of strength in my legs that kept them in good shape without burning them out.
"People who have been running for years aren't still running at 88," he adds. "They're either dead or had sense enough to quit."
Campbell went for a run the other afternoon at Delcastle park. He stretches every morning, so he did a few warm-up strides and just took off on the 13/4-mile loop. He hopes by summer's end to run four loops.
He is 5-6, 127 pounds. He has a strong, smooth stride. He huffs, but not too much to keep him from chatting.

According to M. Bartholdy and C. Strasnoff, in contemporary media art a predominant concept seems to be the concept of material reality.* Thus, a new school of narratives concerning postcapitalist materialism may be found. If neomodernist constructive theory in media art holds, these works are not to be discussed in non-postmodern concepts/terms. Moreover, the main theme of their model of sub-patriarchial theory is a mythopoetical paradox: The primary theme of contemporary media art is not, in fact, discourse, but prediscourse like for instance shit. In a certain way, H. Muller suggests the use of modern Marxism, deconstructing and modifying sexual identity. Therefore, several discourses concerning predesublimation may be found.
"Art is part of the genre of non-language," says M. Badiou. Thus, he suggests the use of structural subcultural theory to deconstruct sexist perceptions of media art. If constructive theory holds, we have to choose between postcapitalist materialism and materialistic deconstruction.
It could be said that media art is un-dead. On the other hand, the actual deterritorialisation of subversive postmodern cinema suggests a revival of what Bartholdy and Strasnoff called "the impact of digital identity". If all this implies a growing epistomologic virtuality, how does this affect our understanding?

MSI GTX750Ti Gaming Review
BioShock Infinite
Published: 11th March 2014 | Source: MSI | Price: £114.99 |
Bioshock Infinite
Despite seeing a massive improvement in Battlefield 4, Bioshock Infinite is only worth a single extra frame on the MSI Gaming. Perhaps the Unreal 3 engine is designed to demand extra CUDA Cores, rather than faster clock speeds.
Most Recent Comments
The latest of our looks at cards with the latest nVidia Maxwell architecture is the MSI GTX750Ti Gaming.

I don't think it would do so well on a cheaper motherboard... If I was in MSi's position I would have put in the 6-pin as PCI-e power is notoriously unreliable.
Thankfully youre not though matey.... It not being there is so much better than it being there like the asus one. Watch the video and I explain why.
My point was not that the asus one was good, rather than that the lack of a pci power connector could be an issue with some setups due to the motherboards having inadequate power delivery to the pci slot.
Btw Tom, general performance between this and gtx 560 se? Equal or worse than the 560?
really interesting review TomQuote

Bishop Peter Ingham says Catholic schools need to be "missionary" in the way they try to re-engage young people with the Catholic faith, reports The Tablet.
Bishop Ingham of Wollongong, preaching at the annual diocesan Education Mass last month, said a constant challenge today was the disengagement of the young from worshipping communities.
"Faith should be caught and taught in the home, reinforced in the school and celebrated in the local parish. It is a three-pronged, not a one-pronged, operation," said Bishop Ingham.
But he added: "It is simply realistic to note that our parishes and schools have now entered a missionary stage ... We need faith-filled teachers in our classrooms who are active witnesses to the faith."

I was pleasantly surprised by how excellent the portabella mushroom pizza was tonight! All of the taste, none of the regret
Whew! This is a loooong one!! Bonus points if anyone actually reads this mess
My intro
Not view my body as the enemy
I have had debilitating migraines since I was 7. I have always struggled with my weight and self-image. I suffer from secondary, unexplained infertility. I just had surgery in Dec. to remove a dermoid cyst the size of an orange that was on my ovary (found when I was doing yet more fertility tests). I always took these things as signs that my body was horribly broken. I now (mostly) realize that isn't true. A lot of my problems were/are tied to the crap I was putting in my mouth. Even when I was trying to "eat healthy". I'm only 3 weeks primal but I can already see an improvement.
Get off the blood pressure medicine
I've had "borderline" high blood pressure forever. I finally started taking meds because the doctors thought that was why I couldn't conceive. I really want to control my BP through diet and exercise. I hate the thought of taking them at my age (36)
Have more energy
Pretty self-explanatory
Sleep better
I'm trying to do the no screens in bed but I'm having problems with it. I always have a hard time falling asleep and if I get less than 7 hours (most days I'm lucky with 5) then I am a real grump most of the day
Have a BMI of less than 30
I know the BMI measurement is crap but I HATE seeing the diagnosis code of "obese" on my chart! My birthday is in 6 weeks. I want to lose 6 more lbs by then so my BMI is below 30 for my birthday present to myself.
Typical menu:
Breakfast: protein shake (spinach, banana, 3 peach slices, almond or coconut milk, TJ whey powder, shot of olive oil). I want to switch to BP coffee but I want to wait until the weekend to start, just in case...
Snack: almonds or piece of celery with almond butter in the AM, a hard boiled egg in the PM (I want to cut out the snacks but I'm not ready yet)
Lunch: BAS with either olive oil/vinegar or homemade mayo thinned with dill pickle relish
Dinner: meat with veggies or 3 egg omelet on my C25K nights after DS goes to bed
I have the lap-band so my portions are fairly small. I have been having extra butter at various times to keep the fat up. I also have problems eating certain meat (beef can be problematic)
Right now, I'm doing the C25K program. I'm on week 4 and I'm very proud of myself! I didn't think I would stick with it this long! I want to start the LHT this week but I keep saying that. I'm worried I can't do it so I am reluctant to try (typical perfectionist behavior)
Current Stats:
5'7", 197 lbs, size L shirt, size 16 pants but they are getting loose (yay!)
I was pleasantly surprised by how excellent the portabella mushroom pizza was tonight! All of the taste, none of the regret
Training all day today. Ugh.
Breakfast- 3 eggs scrambled with ham, a little cheese, tomatoes, topped with salsa and Greek yogurt
Snacks of almonds if I absolutely need it
Lunch - BAS from the food tables a few doors down. I hope I can find a decent vinaigrette
Dinner - leftover portabella pizza and maybe broccoli.
Got off a stop early from the train for extra walking this morning and afternoon
C25K tonight - wk4 day3
Breakfast: 3 eggs scrambled with ham, a little cheese, tomatoes, spinach, topped with salsa and Greek yogurt
Lunch: BAS
Dinner: ? I have no idea. Today has been emotionally exhausting (and it's just noon). We might go out or have "breakfast for dinner". Maybe an omelet with tasty bacon. Bacon makes everything better, right?
Exercise: I have very weak wrists so it is hard for me to do push up, planks, etc. I ordered a set of pushup "handles" (?) so I can keep my wrist straight. I'm going to break them out tonight and see if they help.
A good, yet long weekend!
DH has decided to "go primal" too! He said he would start after Easter and then ate primally all weekend He is Type 2. On Saturday, he took his meds as normal. I never even thought to tell him to cut them back. At 8 pm he said that he didn't feel right so he tested and his blood sugar was 51! Yikes! On Sunday he didn't take any meds and he was around 120 all day. Not too bad. He wants to watch for a few days before deciding if he should re-start his meds at a lower dose.
My family has found out about PB from a post I did on FB on Friday and they are all abuzz! My dad is very interested and maybe my sister, too. I think this is a "miracle" WOE for all the good it does but I want to make sure that they realize it's not a magic bullet and they still have to WORK!
I've also verified that this diet has a HUGE impact on my migraines. I ate a Cadbury cream egg yesterday (yes, I know...) and lo and behold, I had a migraine last night. First time in 3 weeks. In fact, I haven't had ANY headache in three weeks. Normally I would always have at least a little one. It's amazing how great it feels to be pain free!
On to a great new week!
Breakfast - Coffee with cream and a little butter, late spinach protein shake
Lunch - BAS
Dinner - steak that we grilled last night. I'm not sure if I'll reheat it or make it into a salad with blu cheese. YUM! Also, I'm going to do something with a couple of zucchini but I'm not sure what plus a bowl of mixed berries
Goal for today - no snacking!
Exercise - work on my pushups, planks, side planks. I ordered my pull up bar today so it should arrive Wednesday
I'm going to have DH hide the scale until May 1. It's stressing me out way too much :/ I ordered a good tape measure yesterday so I'm going to take my measurements tomorrow and again on May 1.
Last night I made "zucchini hash browns" (recipe from MDA) and they were great! I liked them better than real hash browns!
Breakfast - bullet proof coffee
Lunch - BAS
Dinner - eggs and veggies scramble
Exercise - Week 5 Day 2 of C25K
Yesterday was a rough, rough night. I was sick all night from the damn red bell peppers I ate in my salad at lunch. I just discovered that I like the taste but I also discovered that I seem to be very sensitive to them I basically did an IF from noon on because I couldn't keep anything down. I'm now gingerly sipping a protein shake but I feel like 50 shades of crap. Needless to say, I did not run yesterday.
Breakfast - tea, protein shake (just almond milk and whey protein)
Snacks/lunch (if I can keep it down) - FF Greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce, cottage cheese, cream of tomato soup
Dinner - ham and broccoli frittata and fruit cup - DH and DS had this. I had a plain protein shake and a little yogurt and mushed up banana (which I regretted all night long)

This is not how I wanted to do an IF :/ Night two of puking my guts out all night. I cannot wait until I get this damn band out!
Breakfast - tea and some ginger crackers
Snack/lunch - yogurt & applesauce, cottage cheese, maybe a few nuts
Dinner - hopefully I'll be able to handle scrambled eggs
No exercise tonight. I'm sore all over from the vomiting and have very, very low energy. On top of this, I get to spend all day today and tomorrow in an EEO class. Yay....
Finally starting to feel better!
Breakfast - half a banana and a cup of yogurt/applesauce a bit later
Lunch - I still have training but hopefully I can find some soup nearby. I'll try to stay as primal as possible but...
Dinner - probably more eggs
Still very weak. I could hardly walk up the 3 flights to my office this morning where last week I could easily do it without being winded I'll restart my exercising on Sunday.
Things are going well. I had my first full night's sleep in a week and that helps A LOT! I'm trying to see a dr. about getting the band removed but am facing some insurance woes. I finally got back on the C25K track last night with a repeat of wk5, day1. It was much tougher than last week! I can definitely tell I haven't been exercising at all the past week. The family did do a 3 mile "nature walk" on Sunday but it was seriously slow as the 5 yr old an I kept finding animals (worms, caterpillars, snakes). I also had DH hide the scale. It hasn't moved at all in 2 weeks and it was seriously putting me into a funk. I will weigh myself on the first of each month and THAT IS IT. I will also measure twice a month but I haven't done my "starting" measurements yet so... yeah.
Breakfast - protein smoothie with just half a banana
Snack - half portion of almonds, 1 oz of jerky
Lunch - BAS with tuna
Dinner - burgers and roasted asparagus

Several years of careful spending in the Ken-Ton School District are being rewarded with a $3.6 million grant from the state.
The district is among four statewide that received a total of more than $21 million in efficiency savings under Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's competitive education grants program. The others are Rochester, Newburgh and Queensbury.
Praised by Cuomo as "model school districts," they will share more than $12 million during a three-year period, beginning this year.
"It's not an open checkbook grant," School Superintendent Mark P. Mondanaro cautioned during Tuesday's School Board meeting. However, he added, "It may be possible ... to start putting some things back" in the budget.
In recent years, Ken-Ton found numerous ways to save money.
Measures cited by the Governor's Office include the consolidation of central office staff through attrition and a reassignment of duties to remaining staff, and changes in the district's transportation program, which included last year's proposition to extend the busing eligibility limits for students.
Districts "had to prove, with data, how you have made certain savings," Mondanaro said. The deadline to apply was last June.
Noting that New York spends more money per pupil than any other state, yet continually lags in student performance, the governor said: "We cannot continue to ask taxpayers for more and more money; rather, our education system must become more efficient and focus spending on student achievement."
"We must pay for performance, and the four districts we are awarding ... stand out as leading examples of where innovation and bold action can reduce inefficiency and unnecessary costs," Cuomo said.
The state Department of Education initially told Ken-Ton officials that the district would receive a $1.2 million grant that must be spent by Oct. 31. Now, there's $3.6 million to spend through 2015.
Exactly how the money will be spent is undetermined.

This monograph on human pituitary growth hormone attempts to give the reader a comprehensive view of growth hormone biochemistry, physiology, and pathology. The chemical and biologic properties of growth hormone are reported in somewhat telegraphic style. Significant references are included, but there is little attempt at synthesis.
The discussion of the regulation of secretion of growth hormone is comprehensive and the author's interest and competence as a clinical physiologist is apparent. This chapter is followed by a fine discussion of hypopituitarism that includes the diagnosis of growth retardation and a detailed presentation of the results of therapy. A subsequent chapter on acromegaly thoroughly but routinely covers areas of diagnosis, pathology, and therapy.
This monograph can serve as a reference for those who are developing an interest in some phase of growth hormone physiology or for those who wish to answer a specific question. The 800 references assure comprehensive coverage, and

Opposition chief whip Sathit Wongnongtoei called on the government to open another extraordinary parliamentary session next month (July) for the no-confidence debate.
He accused the Cabinet of trying to "escape a censure debate" by resolving on Tuesday to seek royal endorsement for its decision to have the current extraordinary parliamentary session closed on June 28.
"What happened has pointed to government efforts to reject the scrutiny mechanisms within the Parliament," said Sathit, who is an executive member of the Democrat Party.
Sathit, accompanied by a small group of Democrat MPs, submitted the motion to first deputy House speaker Somsak Kiatsuranond as House Speaker Chai Chidchob said he was too busy with chairing a House meeting.
The opposition chief whip called on the House leadership to negotiate with the government for opening of a new extraordinary parliamentary session. "The speaker should retain his dignity as the head of the legislature by negotiating with the government. In fact, he and they are from the same party," Sathit said.
Somsak said that a new extraordinary parliamentary session was possible if it was viewed as necessary.
Sathit said the opposition would wait and see if Chai would take any action about the censure motion. If the House speaker did nothing about it, the opposition would discuss its next move.
"It's the government's duty to call another extraordinary parliamentary session, which could be in July. It all depends on the government powers. They should not try to shut us out, which is very ugly. It's like trying to keep the lid on a pot that is bursting out," he said.
"The remains of the Thaksin regime still exist. I have asked Chai since he assumed office that he should not allow the administration to influence the legislature. He should be independent, or the Parliament work will be just ceremonious and there will be a crisis similar to one that happened during the Thaksin regime," Sathit said.
In its motion, as required by the Constitution, the opposition also nominated Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva as candidate for prime minister.
In addition to Samak, who is also the defence minister, the motion also targets two deputy premiers Mingkwan Sangsuwan and Surapong Suebwonglee, who also serve as commerce minister and finance minister, respectively, Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama, Transport Minister Santi Prompat, his deputy Songsak Thongsri, Interior Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung, and Justice Minister Sompong Amornwiwat.
The motion accused Samak of nine points of mistakes and wrongdoings.
"Over the past four months, the prime minister's actions caused severe damage to the administrative system, the ethical values and the unity in this country. Corruption, economic and security problems have expanded beyond cure. The country's main institutions have been shaken and the national stability as a whole is affected," the motion read.
Meanwhile, Chalerm, one of the targeted ministers, said Wednesday that he was not worried by the censure motion and would respond to the opposition's accusations in Parliament.
The interior minister thanked the Democrat Party for "playing by the rules" and relying on the Parliament channel. Chalerm said he would send the Democrats flowers and fruits from his orchard as a token of appreciation.
He also said that he was confident with support from coalition parties during the post-debate vote. "I don't think there will be back-stabbing," he said.
Deputy Transport Minister Songsak said Wednesday that he was prepared to explain against the opposition's allegation of corruption within the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority. He said the BMTA's Bt6-billion project to acquire new air-conditioned buses on lease was done in a transparent way.

Bar owners scramble to keep up with fake ID technology
The arms race between bar owners and college students with increasingly sophisticated fake IDs is heating up.
Students today can spend $100 to $150 on fake identification through a number of websites that claim superior quality down to the holograms and bar codes. There's an underground review that rates the quality of fake IDs from different sites. Students can even watch YouTube videos on how to make IDs showing they're 21, the legal drinking age. »Read Full Article(30)

LSI buys SSD controller designer Sandforce
Wants to beef up PCIe SSDs
STORAGE VENDOR LSI has purchased Sandforce, one of the biggest names in the solid state disk (SSD) controller business.
LSI, which flogs workstation and enterprise storage equipment, has agreed to pay $322m in cash for Sandforce in a deal that will push the firm further into the enterprise SSDs market. LSI has said that it is looking to position itself as a vendor of PCI Express SSDs, which are growing in popularity with server vendors.
Sandforce popped up seemingly from nowhere with its SSD controllers, which challenged market incumbents such as Intel and Marvell. The performance figures attained by Sandforce's controllers have picked up numerous design wins for the company.
Michael Raam, Sandforce president and CEO chose to focus on the PCIe SSD market in announcing the deal and said, "The combination of Sandforce and LSI allows us to deliver differentiated solutions in the PCIe flash adapter segment by tightly integrating flash memory and management."
Reliability of Sandforce controllers caused some concern earlier this year, but lately the chatter about failing SSDs has died down a bit. Consequently, Sandforce has ridden out the storm well enough for Raam and his employees to pick up a nice little bonus.
LSI expects the deal to buy Sandforce to be completed in the first quarter of 2012, with Raam set to become the general manager of LSI's Flash Components Division. µ

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Johan Gustafsson stopped 28 of 29 shots on Saturday to backstop the Iowa Wild to a 3-1 victory over the Grand Rapids Griffins in front of the season's fifth sellout of 10,834 at Van Andel Arena.
The fifth-place Wild carried a six-game losing skid and a 25-point standings deficit into this rematch with the first-place Griffins, whose 4-0 triumph over Iowa on Friday pushed their winning streak to seven games. But Gustafsson was brilliant for the visitors, allowing only a first-period rocket off the stick of Teemu Pulkkinen to elude his grasp.
Tom McCollum was nearly as impressive for Grand Rapids, turning aside 26 of 28 – and having little chance to stop either goal – before the Wild sealed matters with a late empty-netter.
With the conclusion of this week's modest three-game home stand, the Griffins (37-18-2-3) will now embark on a season-high seven-game road trip that will begin with a visit to San Antonio on Thursday at 8 p.m. EDT. Grand Rapids will not play on home ice again until three weeks from today, when it will host Rockford on Saturday, March 29.
The Griffins peppered Gustafsson with seven shots in the first four-plus minutes of the game, but it was the Wild who took a 1-0 lead on their first shot of the night to snap their goal drought at 129:10. Jonathon Blum fired a shot from the right point that Brad Winchester redirected past McCollum at the 4:45 mark.
Grand Rapids killed off 1:16 of a 5-on-3 Iowa advantage midway through the frame to keep the deficit at one before capitalizing on its own power play with 2:52 left before intermission. Mitch Callahan carried the puck over the Iowa blue line and centered a pass for Pulkkinen, whose cannon from the high slot sailed past Gustafsson to even the score. Pulkkinen's team-leading 26th goal of the season gave the rookie points in six straight games (7-2—9) and goals in five of the last six outings.
Following a scoreless middle period, Iowa (23-25-6-4) struck again just 32 seconds into the third. With Brennan Evans hurt and down on the ice behind the Griffins' net, Blum tracked down the puck in the right corner and threw it across the goal mouth to Marc Hagel for a backdoor tally, giving the Wild their second lead of the game at 2-1.
The Griffins' path to a comeback tilted sharply upward when Pulkkinen was whistled off on a four-minute high-sticking penalty with just 3:59 remaining. Their penalty killers did their job until McCollum was pulled in the final 20 seconds, and Warren Peters connected on a long shot into the empty net with nine seconds remaining for the final margin.
Each team tallied 29 shots for the game and finished 1-for-5 on the power play.
Notes: The Griffins have now had three winning streaks of exactly seven games this season…Grand Rapids is 5-2 versus the Wild in 2013-14, with a pair of games remaining in Des Moines during its upcoming road trip (March 21 and 22) and one at Van Andel Arena (April 2).

In response to article in The Jersey Journal entitled "Mosque's opponents miss the point," as an opponent, I do not miss the point at all.
The explanation of Mayor Bloomberg is as dumb an explanation as given by Muslim leaders. While they argue, "freedom of religion," others can argue, do Americans want this type of religion in America?
It is outrageous and ludicrous to even suggest a mosque be placed anywhere near the 9/11 attack site, brought on by members of this religion!
Bloomberg and those that argue for this atrocity, are asking Americans to put salt on open wounds, while the Muslims rejoice. The Kennedy European Cap on immigration should be lifted. This is a discriminatory cap that limits white Europeans' immigration to our country.

You may feel drained and overworked today as you struggle to address the many duties on your day's agenda. Since you have so much to do, you are likely allocating as much of your time to your labors as possible. However, you may inadvertently be interfering with your own efforts as the sluggishness that is likely the result of your overloaded agenda may slow your progress measurably. You can avoid this fate by cultivating balance in your existence today. To do this, you will likely need to examine your schedule critically so that you can prioritize your goals and ensure that you have plenty of time to recover from your rigorous efforts.
We seldom feel overworked or overwrought when we make a concentrated effort to allocate our time and energy in a balanced fashion. There will almost always be times in our lives in which it seems that leisure and relaxation can have no place in our day-to-day agendas. However, it is a simple fact of nature that the enthusiasm and drive that enable us to accomplish our worldly goals are a product of the time we spend focusing on our own physical, spiritual, and intellectual nourishment. When we balance every bout of rigorous activity with an equal measure of rest, we can refill our spent energy stores and approach each new endeavor with a renewed devotion that ensures we are never without the vigor we need to prosper. You will recover the energy you lost during your labors today by integrating relaxing and restful activities into your schedule.

US isnt that good and the coach is over his head, general downtrend for US. Egypt wants to win. They might even win the group and bypass Spain should Italy beat Brazil. Egypt was in a similar scenario in Confed Cup 1999 when they were favourites to get to the next round but they ended up losing 5-1 to Saudi Arabia. Lets hope they dont make the same mistake.
