Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center and UW School of Medicine physicians are presenting more than 160 presentations on significant pediatric health issues during this year's Annual Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) Meeting at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.
Seattle, Wash.: May 5, 2003 - Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center and UW School of Medicine physicians are presenting more than 160 presentations on significant pediatric health issues during this year's Annual Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) Meeting at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.
Held May 3-6, the Annual PAS Meeting brings together leading international experts to discuss scientific breakthroughs and their application to children's health in a series of sessions and topic symposia. The focus of these sessions will be on translating clinical research and the application of new science, from functional genomics to health services research, to clinical practice. Highlights of the Annual PAS Meeting include the latest announcements of original child health research, public health policy discussions of the compelling issues facing pediatrics in clinical care, training and research. More than 100 workshops, special interest groups and clubs will be held during the meeting to discuss issues about providing and extending excellence in care, training and research.
"The high number of presentations by Seattle area researchers and physicians at this year's Annual PAS Meeting demonstrates the strength of the region's health care," said Jo Martin, director of media relations, Pediatric Academic Societies. "The Annual PAS Meeting is an opportunity for these experts from all areas of pediatric health to come together and focus on the latest advancements and issues in research, training and clinical care."
Children's Hospital's representatives include:
· Plenary Speaker John Neff, MD, director of the Center for Children With Special Needs, will discuss "Smallpox (Vaccinia) Vaccine: Efficacy and Complications."· Hans Ochs, MD, will present a plenary session discussion entitled "The Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, a Challenge for the Hematologist."· Lisa Frenkel, MD, will present the latest genetic data on HIV drug resistance and continued presence in low levels in humans.· Dimitri Christakis, MD, MPH, will present data on the predictors of teenage obesity.
Dr. Christakis will also present findings on the use of Emergency Services among children who are covered by Medicaid, a topic of special interest given the current Washington state budget deliberations.
Other topics include end-of-life hospital care for children and young adults with complex chronic conditions, emergency department analgesia for fracture pain, quality of care among youth treated with antidepressants, and more.
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation.

British society is under threat from the rising tide of "militant secularisation" reminiscent of "totalitarian regimes", a Cabinet Minister warns.
In an historic visit to the Vatican, Baroness Warsi will express her "fear" about the marginalisation of religion throughout Britain and Europe, saying that faith needs "a seat at the table in public life".
In an article for The Daily Telegraph, the Cabinet Office minister says that to create a "more just society" Britons must "feel stronger in their religious identities".
The minister, who is also chairman of the Conservative Party, says: "My fear today is that a militant secularisation is taking hold of our societies. We see it in any number of things: when signs of religion cannot be displayed or worn in government buildings; and where religion is sidelined, marginalised and downgraded in the public sphere.

A 57-year-old retired postal cop, in the throes of road rage, chased and aimed his gun at a motorist along Route 440 for not letting him pass on a left turn, according to Bayonne police. Oscar Elijah, of Bayonne, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, Bayonne Police Capt. Walter Rogers said.
The 50-year-old victim, who was in the car with his 17-year-old son, told police he was about to make a left turn off Pulaski Street onto Route 440 southbound at about noon on Sunday when another car, a blue Chevy Impala, inched closer in an attempt to cut him off on the turn.
"Elijah tried to turn into the other man's vehicle in an attempt to move him over," Rogers said. "The vehicles were parallel to each other and Elijah began to scream obscenities and flipped him the bird."
For nearly 18 blocks on Route 440, Elijah drove alongside the other until both vehicles stopped at 30th street, Rogers said.
"Both individuals exchanged words at the stop," Rogers said. "The victim said Elijiah then pointed a handgun at the man and his son and said, 'What do you want to do now?'"
Rogers added the frightened man drove off to an exit on 22nd Street and called police.
At 2 p.m., the Bayonne police pulled over Elijah's vehicle in the downtown area of Broadway based on the description given by the victim. Officers then noticed the driver had a silver handgun holstered on his waist, Rogers said.
According to police, Elijah had a permit to carry a handgun because he was a retired police officer.
Elijah's bail was at $10,000 with a 10 percent cash option.
Rogers said Elijah's handgun was taken in for evidence.

Some of you listened. Others argued and pulled me into an esoteric argument on economics.
Look, I'm here to make money. Not argue about the "government conspiracy" to short gold. I'll repeat myself one last time.
People are flying to Treasuries and other forms of Dollar instruments -NOT gold. Gold is going to see a massive correction...probably into the low $600s.
If the current trend of all markets continue as it is, you will surely be right! Period. In fact, food is the only thing not deflating and who is to say that wont start at anytime as well. Or.........if we really want to go into a depression, let everything deflate and food prices inflate. OMG!!!! We could see rioting in the streets in a year. Fact: FBI reports bank robberies are up these last 12 months due to the economy. And we aint seen nothing yet. This might get scary.
It's already happening - in Europe, Latin America, the Gulf States, and Southeast Asia. Economists call it stagflation.
America is unique because we attract the world's capital. But all we are doing is delaying the inevitable. Eventually stagflation will hit the USA. But not tomorrow and not even next month. Definitely next year though.
".........if we really want to go into a depression, let everything deflate and food prices inflate. OMG!!!! We could see rioting in the streets in a year. "
You know, for a 22 year old trader, you sure are full of something...thing is the signs of a new trend that you talk about (treasuries, bonds...etc) could turn on a dime! The downtrend in gold is mostly due to margin calls issued to Hedge funds....and at sometime the bleeding will stop (could be any day now), and investors will start buying gold again. We might stay around this range until after the elections...but really now, Gold@ 600??? that is beyond the wildest dreams of anyone who knows anything about economics...oil is still up around 40-60% from last year's levels, and even at this level OPEC is starting to defend it....that alone will put a floor under commodities not to mention all increasing debt on our balance sheet....What we have Ladies and Gentleman is a fake dollar rally!!!! And it is way way overbought....
You want to keep on betting against Bank of China and Bank of Japan? Go ahead. They have more money than you and don't mind taking a loss to keep their factories humming.
Gold rose exponentially over the past 2-3 years. It's due for a correction.
You mean gold or financials? I'm clear on gold right now - no position either way.
For financials, I use a 2% trailing stop to lock in gains. Otherwise, a 1 ATR stop loss after an initial Fill or Kill Limit order.
If I can scalp a few points here and there - why not?
Where were you 6 months ago?
I was long gold and short financials.
I sold all my gold on Monday morning at a profit. Why? I watched the bond markets and saw the Asians retreat to treasuries...like they always do in bad times.
Treasuries rise in deflation (yield curve falls). Treasuries sink on inflation (yield curve rises).
Gold holders ask yourselves - "I am right in the long term...but do I have enough money to beat the Bank of China?"

IT's never easy being the sibling of someone extremely famous. This is compounded when he's one of the most powerful men in the world and you've grown up apart, on far-flung continents, in different cultural and ethnic societies. Auma Obama comments, somewhat tartly, that people are usually disappointed when she tells them there's nothing special about her relationship with Barack.
"It's boring. We're just a brother and sister who see each other whenever we have the time," she says. That is revealing in itself, for many families connected in similarly unusual circumstances might ensure their paths never crossed. But it's clear from her book, And Then Life Happens (St Martin's Press), that their relationship is more than a biological incident. It's a friendship.
It was Barack Obama, in his early 20s back in 1984 when he was working in "the projects" in Chicago, who first reached out to his half-sister, who was working in Germany.
Her hands trembled as she opened the letter with the Obama name on it, for it was so similar to her father's. He'd been dead for some time. She and Barack ran into each other's arms on the railway station in Chicago: "I was so surprised he knew me immediately! "
He took her home to his flat, told her he was a good cook, proved it, then sat her down and pelted her with questions about his father. He followed that with a trip to Kenya to meet his family, a visit he captured evocatively and beautifully in his book, Dreams from My Father.
But that wasn't enough, it seems, for publishers across the world. They asked Auma repeatedly to write a book about her brother, "which obviously I wasn't interested in doing. But, I always wanted to write about my family, especially my father and how he coped living between two cultures, African and western. Barack and I, as his children, were very much a part of that movement between cultures, and it wasn't easy, it made our lives complex," she says in her erudite English. It trips quickly off the tongue with none of the Germanic inflections you might expect from someone who's spent 16 years of her adult life there. She wrote her book in German. It was translated into English by American Ross Benjamin to speed up the publishing process.
Auma was still in her mother's womb when Obama senior went to study in Hawaii. There he met Barack's mother, Ann Dunham, an anthropology student whom he married when she fell pregnant. Barack hardly knew his father, who moved on to Harvard, where he studied econometrics. In time, his parents divorced.
Obama senior met a young woman, Ruth, at Harvard, who was so infatuated by the tall, intelligent young Kenyan that she followed him to Nairobi, married him and had two sons.
Auma was only four years old when it was decided that she and her older brother, Abongo, should live with their father and stepmother Ruth in a plush Nairobi suburb.
She did not see her mother, Kezia, for the next seven years and the complexity of the cultural clash emerges in a letter her stepmother wrote home, "explaining how she couldn't relate to us, her husband's black children", she writes. "She described how hard it was for her to bathe us, because she so disliked touching us. Our father must have known . what Ruth thought of his family and friends. How could he have accepted that without denying himself?"
Her father's intense personal bitterness and disappointment were reflected in his working life because his Luo tribe was not in power. It was the turn of the Kikuyu.
Auma was 13 when her stepmother moved out. The following years were fraught; her father had a bad accident, lost his job and she was occasionally sent home because school fees weren't paid: "My father's friends and our relatives whom he'd been so supportive of in the good times had just deserted us."
The emotional pressure culminated in a nervous breakdown. But Auma had mentors at her elite Kenya High School in Nairobi and they soon had the gutsy teenager back on her feet. Her relationships with her father and Abonga, however, continued to deteriorate. By the time she'd won a German Academic Exchange Service scholarship to study German at Saarland University, in Saarbrucken, she was no longer talking to her father.
She left Kenya without his knowledge and his permission, a brave move at the time for a woman brought up in her culture. But she was terrified her father would prevent her going. She had reconnected with her mother when her stepmother left home and, in time, Kezia visited her in Germany.
Auma's early years there were tricky for a young African unversed in European culture. She chuckles as she recalls her naivety in her love affairs and her stays in host German homes, one so hippy that they offered her marijuana.
In time, she married an Englishman, lived for four years near London and gave birth to their daughter, Akinyi, now 15. But she couldn't cope with the infamous British reserve. "I was quite offended when they didn't return my hospitality," she comments, recalling her efforts to make friends by asking neighbours to tea.
Her marriage didn't last and she returned to Nairobi to work for the non governmental organisation (NGO) CARE International. Recently, she established the non profit foundation, Sauti Kuu, which helps young people become economically independent : "My organis ation sets out to change the victim mind-set of youth, to empower them to do things for themselves."
She's fairly fierce as she talks at some length about the effects of colonisation on Africa and her humanitarian work with grassroots NGOs that use sport to reach out to the youth.
"I am not favourable to the word 'help'. It indicates that the other person is passive and we want to enable young people to find their own potential."
Her life has been challenging in terms of cross-cultural marriage and stepbrothers and step sisters. But she says firmly: "In Africa we do not talk of 'step' or 'half', we just are."
And, she writes, "it was not always simple to introduce Barack to his relatives without getting lost in the confusion of the familial relationships".
She's protective of her brother's presidential status, refusing to comment on the fact that he has not visited Kenya since he was inaugurated. He chose Ghana instead, presumably due to its then clear commitment to democracy. Auma's reserve extends to his presence at her book launch in the US: "What a question!"
When pressed on his reading of it, she says: "I can't give you a definitive on that, but I am assuming that he has."
I'd say it's a sure bet he's read it. Their relationship is characteris ed by Auma's description of her brother's reaction to her after their first meeting. Barack wrote: "I knew at that moment that I loved (Auma) so naturally, so easily and fiercely."

Pokémon Platinum
The Sinnoh-region is a treaturous paradise. The green acres, snowy mountain tops and white beaches hide the true face of this wicked land. A land that suffers for some time already from a catastrophe that's unequalled, a plague of apocalyptic proportions. I'm of course talking about Satan's unwanted bastard children: the Pokémon.
Where our problems limit themselves to simple things like the economic crisis or hunger in Africa, the people in Sinnoh fight for their miserable existence every day. Even a simple walk in the fresh air can end up in a bloody fight to the death. Pokémon know no mercy! Hidden in the bushes the hellspawn waits for the ideal moment to jump on innocent bypassers. Then they molest children and elders with attacks that in even sadomasochtistic circles are seen as a disgrace. No, life is Sinnoh certainly isn't laughter.
Still Nintendo finds it necessary to organise trips to this pernicious place. And if you see how many people do look for a ticket you probably understand why. Several millions of tough blokes have dared to take the trip to Sinnoh with Diamond and Pearl and most even returned satisfied. Therefore it should come as no surprise that Nintendo for their platinum edition hardly adjusted the travel formula.
Disaster tourists of the first hour will notice that Sinnoh looks better here and there. Some trees have a bit of dust on their leeves, we get some snow and storms now and then, and certain trainers have an animated dance up their sleeve for you. Great! For the rest there are some new areas to be discovered, some new characters to meet and especially some new, excuse me, old pokémon to catch. Yes, old and as such familiar pokémon. But don't despair, some do arrive in an unseen and brand new form. Almost as good as new so to speak. Still not convinced? On offer are also some extra functions for your pokémon watch, a seemingly threedimensional Distortion World and a pretty impressive online support.
Whether all this is enough to justify a second trip to Sinnoh I'll leave in the middle. Of course we would have preferred a completely new experience, but that's not Nintendo's style these days. On the other hand I did bake some cakes, kicked ass with the gym leaders and even made the ugly beast on the cover meet my pokéballs. Oh well, it just remains a cool, deep and most of all extremely addictive formula, that has never been worked out so well as in this Platinum Edition.
This Platinum edition is nothing more than an extended and adjusted version of the excellent Pokémon: Diamond/Pearl. For experienced pokémon trainers there's little new to be found, for all the rest this is a perfect moment to jump on the bandwagon. Look at it as a worn out cheeseburger, but one with an extra slice of tasty cheese.

While playing sports can be great for kids' overall health, some sports can put a child's eyes at risk. According to Prevent Blindness America, about 40,000 sports-related eye injuries each year send kids to the ER.
Most sports-related injuries can be prevented by wearing protective eyewear. Get tips here on how to protect your child's eyes while he or she is participating in athletic activities.
Set an example: If you want your child to wear protective eyewear while playing sports, then consider setting an example and wearing protective eyewear yourself. This can help demonstrate to your child the seriousness of eye injuries.
Get professional help: Seek the help of an optician to best determine what type of protective eyewear your child should wear during each of his or her sports. Different sports might require different types of protection.
Protect while correcting vision: If your child wears glasses, talk to their eye doctor or optician about having the prescription added to his or her protective eyewear. This can help reduce injuries caused by your child not being able to see well.
UV Protection: To keep your child's eyes protected from the sun as well as other dangers, have his or her protective eyewear include UV protection.
Be aware: When your child signs up for a sport consider whether or not protective eyewear will benefit him or her. Typically, sports that feature balls, pucks or other items being hit or thrown require eye protection. Physical sports like boxing and karate can also require some protection.

Primal Fare) this week.
I just read your journal while on an overnight shift. No access to food, your photos made me hungry. Did you ever post that pork belly recipe anywhere? I have a pastured pork belly in the freezer and would like to do something with it.
I was happy to see you have some body shots too. Will be checking back often to see the progress.
Primal Fare) this week.
Hi Jennifer! I just joined the forums (I've been primal for about 4 months now) and your journey is so inspiring! Keep it up and I look forward to following your progress. Grok on!
Well, it's been 2.5 months. Start day was May 1st. So here's the update.
UPDATE for Weight and Measurements (16 July 12)
Weight: 184.4 lbs (-23.6 lbs, 0.61lb loss from last weigh in, 30 June 12)
Bust: 38.5 in (- 3.5 in, no difference since last measurements, 30 June 12)
Waist: 32.5 in (- 4 in, no difference since last measurements, 30 June 12)
Stomach (navel): 39.5 in (- 3.5 in, no difference from last measurements, 30 June 12)
Hips: 43.5 in (- 3.5 in, 0.5in change from last measurements, 30 June 12)
Thigh: 26.5 in (- 2.5 in, 0.5in change from last measurements, 30 June 12)
Total weight lost: 23.6 lbs (- 0.6 lb from last weight in, 30 June 12)
Total measurements reduced: 17 inches (- 1in difference since last measurements, 30 June 12)
Lost 1 inches in the past 15 days and dropped another 0.6 lb. This is great, especially considering all the indulging I did over the past couple weeks. Helping my sister move and eating at their SAD house for quite a few days, then mine and my sisters birthday celebrations (x3). I was actually happy that I hadn't gained. The next few weeks should be much better! I don't have anything planned. I'm aiming to make it out of the 180's for next weigh in. That means just over a 3 lb loss to get me past 180. It's a very optimistic goal, but I think by sticking with TPB and increase an in exercise may help. We shall see.... Only 15 days to go.

SANTA FE (AP) - Arson is suspected in a fire that forced the local Gray Lines Tours to shut down.
Officials believe someone set fire to the company's building early Tuesday. A separate fire was started in a bus outside, quickly spreading to two buses parked next to it.
The fires demolished the building and the company's 11-vehicle fleet and the heavy smoke forced the evacuation of nearby homes.
"It looked like a war zone," said Gray Lines owner Lou Delle Monache, who discovered the fire when he stopped by the office before leaving for a vacation in Florida.
He said the company is insured, but he was not sure how much of the estimated at least $750,000 in damages insurance will cover. Delle Monache, who has owned the business for 25 years, said the vehicles were not covered.
The gutted vehicles included 15-passenger vans, open-air buses, mini-buses and antique vehicles that belonged to Delle Monache, 79.
Windows on buses were broken by vandals last week.
The Santa Fe Fire Department received the first call about the blaze at 3:36 a.m. Tuesday, said Fire Marshal Ted Bolleter. A fire inspector said it took firefighters about two hours to contain the fire.
Juanita Trujillo, who lives across the street, said she was awakened by a popping sound.
"When I looked out, one bus was on fire and it was amazing how quickly it spread to all the other buses," Trujillo said.
Fire inspector Agustin Pincheira said there was no sign of forced entry into the building, so officials believe someone might have used a key to enter.
"They said they don't have any disgruntled employees, current or former," he said.
Inspectors were looking into how the fires were started.
"The way it appears right now is that it was intentionally set, but (first) we have to rule out accidental causes," Pincheira said.
Gray Line has conducted tours within the capital city as well as tours to Bandelier National Monument, Los Alamos, Taos and Taos Pueblo. At its busiest, it has run up to 150 tours per day.

The November general election is not about Right vs Left - It's about Right vs Wrong.
Will the citizens of the United States choose to preserve the America envisioned by our founding fathers? A country where hard work and self reliance, nurtured in freedom, created a society that has become the envy of the world; or will they choose an America envisioned by the likes of Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx, where it's inhabitants depends on the government for their survival? A land, not of freedom, but one of slavery controlled by appointed elitist who believe that their false intellect trumps personal freedoms.
The choice is yours. Choose wisely my friends.

Did you know that the SANDRA portion of "SiSoftware Sandra" is an acronym. Broken down, it means System Analyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant. In all honesty, even though I had been using the program for years to test my systems, I never knew that until I started reviewing products. I always thought it was just a clever name for a program. I thought maybe one of the developers had a mom or wife named Sandra, some female that kicked their butt around and told them how to fix things and run more efficiently.
SiSoftware Sandra has been around since 1997 and has been a staple of the benchmark and computer hardware diagnostic world. Sandra's features are used through modules that can test any of the computer's hardware, from the CPU to even .NET features and GPU performance. SiSoftware continues to keep up with emerging technology with each new iteration of the software. Their latest release is Sandra 2011, which introduces new features to take advantage of upcoming technologies, such as increased threaded CPUs and new x86 instruction architecture.

Q. I recently purchased a raphael catfish. He is in a community aquarium and doing well. I plan on moving him into another aquarium with young (2-inch) angelfish. What can you tell me about this fish's temperament and requirements?
A. Raphael is a trade name for several different South American catfish, all members of the family Doradidae. They all have three pairs of barbels (no nasal barbels) and "scutes" that almost look like zippers down their sides.
In the aquarium, they're actually model residents due to their undemanding nature. They don't bother other fishes and are certainly on the bottom rung when it comes to intraspecific aggression (that is, they are peaceful with members of their own species). Their behavior is somewhat reclusive, so be sure to include a cave or similar place in your aquarium for your raphael to call "home." They will adapt to and tolerate a wide variety water conditions and temperatures. Of course, regular partial water changes are necessary for optimal health.
As far as feeding is concerned, they will eagerly devour black worms or Tubifex worms, but also readily accept sinking pellets or tablet food. Be sure to add some fish food for your catfish after you turn your aquarium lights off.
The species generally considered to be raphaels include Agamyxis pectinifroms — the spotted raphael, Platydoras costatus — the striped raphael, and Orinocodoras eigenmanni — the "long-nosed" striped raphael. This last species is more active in the aquarium when kept in a group of three or more. Under this circumstance, they will eagerly compete with other freshwater fish for food at the surface of the aquarium. Look for this species as "contaminants" (accidently included with shipments) in aquariums of regular striped raphaels. Another species, Acanthodoras cataphractus, the chocolate or red raphael, is distinguished by the distinctive patterning on its stomach.
When you move your raphael — regardless of which variety it is — into its new aquarium, avoid "netting" the fish. They have powerful dorsal and pectoral spines that they "lock" into place, which will trap the fish in the net. The usual end result when this happens is that you will have to cut the net in order to free it. This leaves you with a highly stressed catfish swimming around with small sections of green netting stuck on its spines (eventually it falls off) and a destroyed aquarium net. Better to use a plastic fish bag or a container, such as Tupperware, to move your catfish into its new home.
Because raphaels are relatively inexpensive and easy to care for, I'm sure that you'll end up owning more the one. Enjoy your catfish!

Meet Herm!
Herm, the EMU Royals' mascot lion, was first spotted way back in 1983 as he cheered on EMU athletics teams and helped the Loyal Royals in fundraising and other athletics efforts. Herm is not a ferocious or highly competitive mascot. He is a warm, fuzzy guy who embodies welcoming friendliness, a trait that many visitors and new students use to describe the EMU community.
Herm's Schedule
Herm's social schedule and public persona are managed collaboratively by EMU's marketing and athletics departments. We gave him an all-expenses-paid spa trip to Pennsylvania in summer 2012. He was pampered, fluffed and revived, and now he's ready to get more involved on campus and in the broader community, so keep your eyes peeled. You never know where he might show up!
Don't forget to grab a Herm keychain or stuffed animal from the EMU bookstore. They make good presents for nieces and nephews!
Q and A with Herm
Best games you have attended
I've been at so many great EMU games, cheering on the Royals as they scratch and claw their way to victory! The men's and women's basketball teams run through the NCAA championships were super exciting. Both teams were tremendously talented and provided a ton of excitement to the Park View area!
We've had some amazing field hockey performances, too. Hosting ODAC Championship contests, winning conference player of the year awards and seeing our alumni come back and support our current team is always a thrill.
Seeing how our fans react during fall men's and women's soccer games and the intensity of a final set in men's and women's volleyball can't be matched.
There has been "cat-like" quickness on the track, as well. I've watched Adam Starks, Jeremy Webster, Gail Guengerich, Laura Rosenberger, Amanda Webster, Michelle Leaman, Michael Allen and Dan Nafziger break records, win ODAC titles or advance to the NCAA Championships.
Also, seeing the softball team become a perennial power and the NCAA record-breaking double that Erik Kratz hit in baseball is always a purrfect (sorry, I am a cat after all!) ending to an athletic year.
And of course, the new golf program adds a lot of excitement!
Favorite place on campus
Besides taking a cat-nap in my Royals den or the sofa in Common Grounds Coffeehouse, I love being outside between classes, especially in the arboretum, or watching the chickens behind the Science Center. Hanging out with all the "cool cats" on campus — the students — always makes me purr!
Favorite place in Harrisonburg
I love going to A Bowl of Good down the street. They planted some catnip in the back, but keep that a secret! Sometimes I head to Mr. Js too, for those day old bagels… mmmm…
Favorite television show
The Lion Whisperer (kind of like the Dog Whisperer only he speaks my language)
Favorite color
Royal blue
Are you close with the other Mennonite college/university mascots
Well, the Hesston Lark always swoops in from time-to-time. The Bluffton Beaver is a good guy, but he's always with the Goshen Maple Leaf, those guys have some sort of fascination with trees! The Bethel Thresher is also pretty busy during harvest season, but overall he rocks.

Day 5: ISAF Sailing World Cup Mallorca 2014
Tuesday, 03 June 2014 /
Palma de Mallorca, Spain (April 4, 2014) – With medal race berths on the line, US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider 470 athletes rose to the challenge on Day 5 at ISAF Sailing World Cup Mallorca. Facing exclusion from the medal race, and with their backs against the wall, the US Men's 470 team of Stu McNay (Providence, R.I) and David Hughes (Miami, Fla.) achieved their best performance of the event in Friday's final race. With most of the talent-laden 470 gold fleet vying for a start near the race committee boat, McNay and Hughes chose to start on the unfavored but much less crowded "pin" end of the starting line. The gamble paid off, as strong pressure filled in on the left side of the racecourse, allowing the veteran pair to achieve, and then successfully defend, a 2nd place position. Locked in a 3-way tie on points for the 10th and final medal race berth, McNay and Hughes won the spot by virtue of their victory over the Finnish and French teams in the final race.
In the Women's 470, Annie Haeger (East Troy, Wisc.) and Briana Provancha (San Diego, Calif.) sought to defend their place in the top 10 entering the day. After a 6th place finish in the first race, the pair looked to be in a strong position to cruise into the medal race, but a tough downwind leg in the second race added 17 points to their scoreline, and the points between positions 3-11 overall were suddenly quite close. Matching the clutch performance shown by McNay and Hughes, Haeger and Provancha decisively secured their 5th position overall with a 3rd place finish in the final race. "Today we really wanted to focus on getting a grip on the challenging conditions," said Haeger. "We still didn't sail our best, but we put ourselves in a good spot heading into the medal race tomorrow."
US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider Finn athlete Caleb Paine (San Diego, Calif) came into Friday in 11th overall, and ready to fight for a spot in the medal race, but unfortunately never got the chance. Lightening breezes in the late afternoon, when the Finn gold fleet attempted to start, prevented any races from being completed.

Du Mol Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2009
Winemaker's Notes:
Bright garnet red. Beautifully pure aromas of ripe red cherry then darker wild berry with a subtle grassy rhubarb edge. Opens with cranberry freshness and intense raspberry then deeper kirsch notes with a licorice/sassafras edge. Supple mid-palate that is harmonious and remains focused and lively despite the building richness. Complex savory elements build toward a spicy/peppery finish. Serve at 60 degrees to fully experience the wine's deft balance of freshness and richness.
Our 25 acre biodynamically farmed Estate Vineyard is located on an undulating eastfacing slope of one of the appellation's famous ridgelines. From this classic site and in tandem with some of our coastal area's finest growers, we craft wines that fully capture the aromatics, flavors and textures that exemplify their vineyard sites and varietals character in the purest and most precise form.

A very 'proud' wine. Not arrogant, but in the mouth, let's you know that it has arrived. A perfect blend of power and elegance, depth and nuance, adagio and crescendo. A stunning wine.
A delightful Pinot that can enchant my friends who are hardcore Cab drinkers. It is rich and complex but melts deliciously on the back of your tongue. It's a perfect combo of rock star and librarian.

The beautiful 2011 Pinot Noir Russian River a nine vineyard blend was made from four clonal selections the Dijon Swan Mt. Eden and Calera clones. Its dark plum/ruby hue is accompanied by notes of sassafras black currants licorice and a hint of lavender. This medium to full-bodied velvety textured lush heady evolved Pinot was aged 11 months on its lees in 35% new French oak. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. - Robert Parker Robert Parkers Wine Advocate.
The 2011 Pinot Noir is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Floral and savory the 2011 wraps around the palate with sweet red berries cranberries spices and tobacco. The 2011 is an excellent choice for drinking over the next handful of years and a fabulous introduction to the DuMol Pinots. Antonio Galloni.
Pure, firm, tight and flavorful, with enticing aromas and ripe plum, blackberry, raspberry and crushed rock flavors. Presents a juicy, refreshing finish. Drink now through 2019.

The entry-level 2010 Pinot Noir is big juicy and exuberant. There is no shortage of fruit in this flashy Pinot. The 2010 is a terrific effort considering its production of 4 600 cases. It is ideally enjoyed over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018. -Antonio Galloni Robert Parkers Wine Advocate.
Despite leaning to ripeness in its initial aromas this wine comes with plenty of black cherry fruit in tow and adds in distinct oaky richness and a quiet walnut-like note. It is medium-full-bodied in palate weight and turns out to be lighter on its feet than first impressions seem to advise and its near-supple texture and nicely crafted fruit hold it in good stead through to a balanced mid-depth finish. Connoisseurs Guide.
Russian River Valley, CaliforniaVERY LIMITED! DuMOL Pinot Noir is a superb Pinot Noir wine gem from 7 top vineyards in the Russian River Valley. Winemaker Andy Smith is one of the most gifted and charismatic of a new generation of sophisticated Chardonnay and Pinot Noir specialists. Andy's stock-in-trade is intense Burgundian Chardonnays -- offering deep, mineral flavor with great texture and wonderful balance -- and Pinot Noirs of uncommon depth and complexity. Part of the secret is his winemaking regimen, which includes extended fermentations to enhance aromatics; elevage with a high percentage of solids, but with limited lees stirring; and no fining or filtration. But the real keys to the transcendent quality of DuMOL's wines are Andy's gift for blending sites, clones, and maturity levels to achieve chromatic diversity ... and, of course, the fruit, which is farmed under his control in Green Valley, the coolest part of the Russian River Valley. Only 3770 cases produced.DuMOL Pinot Noir is bright garnet red with beautifully pure aromas of ripe red cherry then darker wild berry with a subtle grassy rhubarb edge. It opens with cranberry freshness and intense raspberry then deeper kirsch notes with a licorice/sassafras edge. The wine has a supple mid-palate that is harmonious and remains focused and lively despite the building richness. Complex savory elements build toward a spicy/peppery finish. It was aged 11 months in 40% new French oak barrels then 3 months settling in tank. Serve at 60 degrees to fully experience the wine's deft balance of freshness and richness.Enjoy DuMOL Pinot Noir Russian River Valley with roast pork, grilled salmon, veal Milanese and aged cheeses.

Product DescriptionThe first of the many recent additions to the Heckler & Koch handgun line, the P2000 and incorporate features of the successful HK USP Compact pistol with the latest innovations of HK engineers. The HK Law Enforcement Modification trigger system combines advantages of a cocked striker component such as a constant level of trigger pull from first to last round fired with a double-action hammer system. Using such an enhanced trigger system consolidates ease of use and safety into a convenient, innovative trigger operation that prevents unintended firing. A set of simple-to-install modular grip panels allow the P2000 to be custom-fitted to any shooter's hand and an ambidextrous magazine release and dual slide release levers make handling the P2000 natural and easy for right and left-handed shooters alike. Industry standard mounting rails allow the widest variety of lights, laser aimers, and accessories to be added to the P2000 by sliding them onto the open rail system. Features fixed three-dot sights.

Join Justin Smith, Program Manager on the Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control Service (ACS) team, on a whirlwind tour of the new features of today's Labs release of ACS. Just to whet your appetite, here's a list of some of the news touched on in this video:
What are you waiting for? Tune in!
Once you have watched the video, create your account at http://portal.appfabriclabs.com/ and start experimenting: it's free, there are no tokens to redeem, and there's no waiting time. Instant gratification!
Oops, something didn't work.
You really gotta be kiddin me...it seems like i m still dreaming. These features are exactly what I required and I was messed for 4 weeks now and POP!!! Microsoft as always and yet again came out as a LIFE SAVER with all those super exciting features. Good going guys!
Thank you for abstracting away the complexity here. This is a pattern we need to see more of! Well done.
Nice introduction, however when I try to use ACS with sample MVC application I've found couple of issues, not sure those are my mistakes or something to do with ACS itself.
First one is when I use multiple providers for ex: Live ID and Google, when the MVC application is directed to ACS login page instead of presenting the login page as shown in the video I've got following error page
Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request.
HTTP Error Code:
ID2010: The request scope 'http://vinjaya:63000' is not valid or is unsupported.
Trace ID:
However when I try just with the Live ID as only provider then it works fine.
Then I try to remove Live ID from my provider list by keeping the just the Google. then I've got this error.
Sorry, an unexpected error occurred while processing your request.
What would you like to do?
Go back to the previous page

HTTP Error Code:
Not Authorized: Attempt to update ReadOnly object
Trace ID:
Does this mean we must use Live Id or am I doing something wrong here?
when i trying to integrate sharepoint 2010 with azure acs v2 after getting identity provider click like google,windows id it shows 500 internal server error
Gotta love that instant gratification! The free part is always a big bonus. I'm still getting an error message, though, so will have to see what is inaccurate before the instant gratification kicks in.

On a dark, cloudy and drizzly Sunday afternoon at the 1989 Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo, Lane Frost eased atop a snorting bull named Taking Care Of Business.
During the final performance, the 1987 world champion bailed off the bull after eight seconds of work and rolled onto the soggy soil. Taking Care Of Business then charged and plunged his mammoth ivory horns in Frost's back. The hit caused massive internal bleeding, ending Frost's life within minutes.
Frost's legacy lives on, however, and the 20th anniversary of his death was acknowledged this past week. He died at age 25 on July 30, 1989.
I witnessed the fatality while covering the famous Wyoming rodeo. I spoke to Frost briefly in the sports medicine trailer shortly before the matinee performance began. I had a personal interest in following Frost because he and his wife, Kellie, lived in her hometown of Quanah, which is about 45 miles from my hometown of Paducah.
Frost always was great to talk to and he was one remarkable cowboy who envisioned spurring the sport to another level. Today, the top performers sew on as many sponsorship patches as their bulletproof vests can hold while competing on a lucrative, nationally televised tour.
With his rugged good looks, charismatic personality and championship riding style, Frost would have fit in well today.
"He was very dazzling," said Kellie Macy of Post, Frost's wife at the time of his death. "He was dynamic in who he was and what he did."
In the two decades since Frost's death, pro rodeo and bull riding have adopted many of the practices and formats from more popular sports, and have used the type of life that Frost lived as a model.
Three examples:
n In 1985 and 1986, Frost competed on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's Winston Tour, a series of shows that featured the sport's marquee competitors. Three years after Frost's death, Tuff Hedeman and Cody Lambert, who were Frost's traveling partners, became founding patriarchs of Professional Bull Riders. Today, the PBR features the Built Ford Tough Series world title race, which is comprised of a cast of all-star cowboys and the sport's rankest bulls in more than 30 cities throughout North America. The tour stops are often broadcast on Versus.
n In 1988, Frost engaged in a best-of-seven series against a bull named Red Rock. The bull, which had never had a qualified ride in 309 tries, was brought out of retirement for the series against Frost on the West Coast. Frost stayed aboard Red Rock four times. Today, highly touted showdowns commonly are staged in addition to the regulation rodeo and bull riding performances.
n Frost was not wearing a protective vest when he died. Twenty years ago, virtually no competitor wore protective gear. Today, almost every bull rider at least wears a vest and more and more cowboys are strapping on helmets.
Frost's legacy has accelerated down a network of other trails. His biography is portrayed in the 1994 Hollywood movie "8 Seconds," with Luke Perry playing the lead role. Last year, western riding documentary producer David Wittkower released a well-researched DVD called "The Challenge of Champions: The Story of Lane Frost and Red Rock." Today, a statue of Frost riding a bull graces the hallowed grounds of Cheyenne's rodeo, which concluded its 113th edition last weekend.
His parents, Clyde and Elsie Frost, live in Lane, Okla., and make numerous public appearances at rodeos and church services. His former wife, Kellie Macy, is now married to two-time National Finals Rodeo team roping competitor Mike Macy, and they promote Frost's legacy.
"At the time that Lane was competing, I don't think I really appreciated who he was and was to other people," Kellie Macy said. "But now, I draw off of that. We live from day to day and it's sometimes hard to realize what we have in other people. But that changes for the better as we grow older and gain more wisdom."

When they started doing Energy Star ratings for LEDs, they tried really hard to avoid the CFL fiasco; see http://www.gizmag.com/energy-s... As a result, Energy Star rated LED bulbs are pretty reliable. I have about 60 (!) in my house, bought over the last 9 months. None of the Energy Star bulbs has failed yet. Two non-energy-star LED bulbs that were several years old (from vendors not around anymore?) did fail.
I'm now slowly converting the bulbs in the house I rent out to LEDs, with the tenant's cooperation. The only two bulbs she has liked so far are the Cree 40W TW http://www.creebulb.com/Produc... (for bathrooms only - it hums too much for living room) and the Phillips 40W A15 ( http://www.homedepot.com/p/Phi... ) for everywhere else. Her dimmers are old, and most LED bulbs flicker with them; I should get her newer dimmers. Haven't had that problem much at my house.
I'm quite happy with the LEDs so far, and am writing up my experiences at http://kegel.com/energy/lights... Your mileage may vary.
So it's 67 GWh annual savings in US vs. 19 TWh annual savings in EU, then? Seems like one or both of those estimates is still way wrong.
"[Assuming efficiency improvements of 16% to 33%...] Estimated per-unit annual savings for residential vacuums are on the order of 10-19 kWh/year... Considering there are approximately 28 million vacuums sold in the U.S. each year, the national energy savings opportunity would be on the order of 67,000-135,000 MWh per year if 25% of products sold were replaced with energy efficient models"
Contrast that the the document linked in TFA:
http://ec.europa.eu/smart-regu... says
"[Vaccuum cleaners sold per year in 2005 and 2020: 54 million and 92 million]... [Energy consumed by vacuum cleaners under business-as-usual by 2020: 29.7 TWH/year]... by 2020, the annual electricity consumption
So, 67 TWh annual savings in US vs. 19 TWh annual savings in EU in spite of twice as many vacuum cleaners sold per year in the EU. Is there just more dirt in the US? Or was the Energy Star scoping report just overoptimistic?
Me, too. I get mine at Home Depot (they have Cree, which I like better than the ones at Lowe's). Replacing frequently-used incandescents with LEDs pays for itself in about 9 months (at $10/LED, 4 hr/day, and $0.15/kwh; your milage may vary, see http://www.lektroninc.com/payb... )
Doing this (and a few other things) cut my power usage from 40KWH/day to 25KWH/day. Still too high... I need to dig some more to see where it's all going.
I'm blogging the experience at http://kegel.com/energy/lights...
Just how broken is it? Let's find out.
I tried creating an account early Sunday morning and failed.
I tried again Sunday evening, and it worked... on Firefox, anyway. On Chrome, logging in took me to a blank screen.
( See https://plus.google.com/u/0/113779301404424240904/posts/2mxh2wPTein )
If you try creating an account on healthcare.gov, reply here with what happened. Let's see how broken it is.
The original report of "For many employees, it has become too difficult to take time off from their day jobs to work on independent projects." can be explained well like this: people who are below average productivity in their team can't spare the time to work on 20% projects.
I don't think this is a harsh thing; it's just a fact of life.
By the way, the Google version of stack ranking (if I recall correctly from my time there) is something like "If you're a manager, and there's a guy on the team who isn't being very productive, make sure he knows about the problem, so he can do something about it."
Also not a harsh thing.
Google doesn't want to become a Cisco, where all the good ideas come from buying up little companies. I suspect that people of above average productivity at Google still have plenty of freedom to try experiments 20% time.
What has changed a bit is that since the mantra of the company became "Features, not products", those 20% experiments are almost always going to involve adding features or other improvements to existing products, not wholly new products.
And that's ok, too. There is a whole lot of room to add features and make things better under the hood.
The following statement is not true. The previous statement is true.

About 2,000 indigenous representatives, as well as representatives of member States, civil society, academia, some 35 UN entities and other intergovernmental organizations, participated in the eighth session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), which convened from 18-29 May 2009, at UN Headquarters in New York, US. The Forum considered a concept note, prepared by the special rapporteurs, on the preparation of the report on whether climate change policies and projects adhere to the standards set forth in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Forum also considered the Special Rapporteurs' reports on climate change and land tenure and hosted a panel discussion with UN experts on the impacts of the financial and economic crisis on indigenous peoples. Forum Chair Victoria Tauli-Corpuz called for a human rights-based approach to development that integrates indigenous peoples' needs and solutions to redress the impacts of climate change. Tauli-Corpuz indicated that the economic crisis has led to an increase of infrastructure development expenditures, and cautioned against construction projects on traditional lands without indigenous peoples' free, prior and informed consent, which may lead to their displacement. Tauli-Corpuz noted linkages between the climate change and global economic crises and underlined that the policies and solutions to address them may: deepen the poverty of indigenous communities and their economic and food insecurity; threaten their traditional livelihoods; and decrease their access to social services.
The recommendations agreed by the UNPFII include a call on States and corporations to involve indigenous people in all negotiations relating to mining, infrastructure projects and other development schemes taking place on indigenous lands.
Various side events were held in parallel to the main session of the UNPFII, including an event on the UN-REDD Programme, Operational Guidance and Engagement of Indigenous Peoples, organized by the UN Development Programme (UNDP). The event presented the programme and operational guidance and discussed the challenges facing indigenous peoples in many countries. Forum delegates gave testimonies about their lives and how the UN-REDD Programme could affect them.

Suncoast show today and tomorrow. I am looking for holsters for my carry guns. Is it worth going (2 1/2 hour drive).

sounds like you live close to me.
I say nay.... it will be back down in our area June 16 and 17 (unless that is to say you're North of Ft. Myers).
Not to mention, the shows have been rather pathetic when I've gone.
If you PM me with whereabouts you live, I might know of a good place for you to find a holster as I've pretty much scoped out all of the stores in the South Florida area.
May 5, 2007, 08:36 PM
Definitely not worth a 5 hour drive.
May 6, 2007, 12:58 AM
Re Ft. Myers Gun Show,
Went there today. Almost turned around and left when in line to pay $3.00 to park! That's adding insult to injury. :cuss:
My understanding is when they raised the admission from $7.00 to $8.00 the additional amount was ostensibly to help defray the Parking costs. Even the dealers there were grousing about this added tariff.
Attendance was down considerably, prices were out of sight, and nothing grabbed my fancy after being stiffed on the Parking. Suncoast Gun Collectors, Inc. will receive my Nastygram detailing my displeasure and the fact that is the last Admission $ they will ever receive from me!

"...worth going (2 1/2 hour drive)..." Not when you can buy a holster in any gun shop.

May 6, 2007, 01:28 PM
Probaby the same as the Palmetto Suncoast show, except the parking fee.:fire: As for holsters a large selection of Don Hume stuff, but the group that used to sell the "Shado" brand holsters wasn't there (unless she was selling Don Hume, but had dyed her hair).
No real deals on ammo at all.
ARs were over priced, with the exception of Gunsmoke Enterprises, fair prices for a good weapon and local to Florida...also, reasonable guys to talk with.

Welcome to the 375th edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance. As we are less than a month away from the biggest event in financial blogging, FinCon12, and it will be in my hometown, Denver, Colorado, it seems only appropriate that I use this edition of the COPF to teach you a little bit about Denver.
Fact #1: The elevation of Denver is exactly 5280 feet. The steps at the capital were intentionally built to be exactly at that elevation, and a purple row of seats at Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, marks the mile high elevation. This gives the city its nickname, "The Mile High City."
