Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
FRIDAY, Feb. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Although patients with invasive ovarian cancer carrying BRCA1/2 mutations have a short-term survival advantage compared with noncarriers, the advantage is short-lived and is no longer observed at 10 years post-diagnosis, according to a study published in the Jan. 16 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
To assess the impact of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations on long-term survival in invasive ovarian cancer, John R. McLaughlin, Ph.D., of Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, and colleagues followed a cohort of 1,626 unselected women for a mean of 6.9 years. Mutations were identified in 218 women.
In the three-year period after diagnosis, the researchers found that prognosis was significantly improved in the presence of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.68), but there was no difference in prognosis at 10 years after diagnosis (hazard ratio, 1.00; P = 0.90). Among women with serous ovarian cancers who were alive at 12 years after diagnosis, 27.4 percent had BRCA1 mutations, 27.7 percent had BRCA2 mutations, and 27.1 percent were not carriers.
"Our data indicate that the short-term survival benefit of carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation is not reflected in long-term differences in the proportions of women who ultimately survive their ovarian cancer," the authors write.

As the sun finally sets on the illustrious career of Shaquille O'Neal, it becomes obvious that true big man play in the NBA is steadily becoming obsolete. While I can appreciate the desire for seven-footers to want to shoot with range and put the ball on the floor, there is something pure and special about punishing big men who can dominate the paint.
Shaq was that type, and we will probably never see another Shaq again. But where does Shaq sit in the Mt. Rushmore of NBA centers? Let's take a look at the top five big men in NBA history.

Skeletons in the closets start rattling their bones
Published 03/02/2013 | 17:52
NIALL Collins TD nailed it when he described Gerry Adams's apology as an act of gross hypocrisy.
And when he accused Justice Minister Alan Shatter of sticking to the same hypocritical line as Sinn Fein last Tuesday, that Fianna Fail's motion on garda cutbacks should be postponed – purportedly as a mark of respect to Det Garda Adrian Donohoe. Let's take a closer look.
Last Monday the Irish Times reported that Shatter became "emotional" at the Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony in Dublin. But a few hours before he was cold as winter on Today FM when smearing the Sunday Independent, by far the most consistent supporter of the democratic state of Israel in the Irish media.
Asked by Anton Savage about this newspaper on different aspects of the garda cutbacks, Shatter said: "I don't think anyone should take the Sunday Independent narrative seriously. They have an obsession with trying to identify someone on a weekly basis whom they can target."
It's true that we tackle major political issues from many angles – and these issues inevitably have politicians attached. Last Sunday we published 10 stories on crime and garda cutbacks. But Fr Michael Cusack's criticism of cutbacks at Det Garda Adrian Donohoe's funeral, and the applause which followed, proved that we had our fingers firmly on the public pulse.
The Sunday Independent's policy of approaching a major, but hitherto marginalised, issue from many angles was also vindicated on Sunday December 5, 2005. That day we published 12 articles criticising the government's plan to give early release to the gang which murdered Det Garda Jerry McCabe.
As the McCabe murder may be misty to many younger readers, let me summarise the story.
An IRA unit shot McCabe to death in Adare, Co Limerick, on June 7, 1996. The IRA intimidated witnesses, so the charge of murder was changed to manslaughter. Five men were convicted in 1999.
They did not serve hard time. They were moved to the low-security prison at Castlerea, Co Roscommon, in 1999. They had their own front-door keys, were able to order takeaways and had all modern conveniences, such as microwaves, televisions, videos and washing machines. Not a regime to deter other potential killers.
Gerry Adams continued to campaign for their release under the Good Friday Agreement. Five years later, on December 1, 2004, Enda Kenny forced Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to admit that the McCabe killers would be released as part of a Provo-Paisley deal.
That day too, Vincent Browne wrote blithely in the Irish Times: "Of course there will be obstacles and maybe the odd crisis, with the Sunday Independent alarmist headlines of IRA intelligence-gathering, or maybe even the occasional robbery." Two weeks later we had lots of "alarmist" headlines when the IRA robbed £25m from the Northern Bank.
Ahern's admission didn't even make the front page of the Irish Times. The editorial comfortably concluded: "But if the release of the prisoners is a make-or-break point in the deal in Northern Ireland – and Mr Ahern says it is – then it can be justified."
Most of the media agreed.
But on Sunday, December 5, the Sunday Independent broke the shameful silence. Backed by Ann McCabe, we carried a front-page photo of Jerry McCabe lying dead in his bullet-riddled car. It shocked a new generation who thought that Sinn Fein was all about grinning Gerry Adams and cuddly Mary Lou McDonald.
Alas, the Irish media has a short memory. Last Tuesday, apart from the Irish Independent, most outlets were conned by the Adams apology. RTE News was the most gullible. It ran the apology as the lead on the 6.01 and 9pm news bulletins.
This defective decision gave Sinn Fein the top spot and displaced the all-party condolences with the Donohoe family. Niall Collins was almost alone in denouncing the apology as a shameless Sinn Fein ploy. The timing of the Adams apology proves his point.
Why did Adams apologise last Tuesday? He had plenty of chances to do so in the 17 years since Jerry McCabe was gunned down – especially during the presidential election when the IRA's murder of gardai was put on the agenda.
In fact, the Adams apology was a breathtakingly brazen media ploy: to hijack the public mood of grief and make political capital out of the murder of one garda by apologising for the murder of another garda. Because if he really wanted to convince us of his sincerity there was only one way to do so – by acting with good authority and hurting his own side.
Adams expressed perfunctory regret about the IRA gang "causing pain". But the apology did not cause any pain to Adams or Sinn Fein. If he wants to show sincerity, let him categorically condemn the convicted killers.
Let him also call for the members of the murder gang still on the run to give themselves up.
He should also call on Mary Lou McDonald to apologise for her crass comments on the killing of RUC officers. Most decent Irish people deplore the murder of all brave men and women doing their duty to preserve the peace – and that includes the old RIC.
Shatter also owes the Sunday Independent an apology. The testimonies of retired Assistant Garda Commissioner Martin Donnellan, as well as Fr Michael Cusack, confirmed the correctness of our coverage. But he also owes the Irish people an apology.
Last Tuesday, Alan Shatter and the Government objectively aided Adams in putting himself top of the media agenda. They did so by taking the same line as Sinn Fein – that the Fianna Fail motion on garda cutbacks should be withdrawn as a mark of respect for Garda Donohoe.
Shatter has two questions to answer. First, how did he find himself singing from the same hypocritical hymnsheet as Sinn Fein in trying to stifle discussion of garda cutbacks? By doing so, he helped create a favourable climate around the Adams apology, which assisted Sinn Fein in seizing the media agenda.
Second, what is behind Shatter and Fine Gael's antipathy towards the Sunday Independent? Fine Gael runs a coalition with a massive majority, it has huge influence both with RTE and with moguls in the private sector media. Can the party not tolerate one critical voice?
Shatter accuses the Sunday Independent of obsessions. But what about his own obsessions? Why the constant threat of a Privacy Bill? Has Fine Gael something to hide?
You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that antipathy towards the Sunday Independent as well as Fine Gael's pressure about privacy might arise from a desire to deflect attention from some deeper problems.
What deeper problems? Fine Gael has fairly large skeletons in its closet – the bones of political bodies buried in the glory days of Fine Gael fundraising in the early 1990s. The party's DNA is traceable to fundraising by Michael Lowry and his chums and to the findings of the Moriarty tribunal.
But as Sinn Fein is finding out, bodies don't stay buried. Meantime, the Sunday Independent will continue to ask the hard questions.

Black Eyed Peas Curry - Konkani Style
Coming to this curry, the masala is a typical Konkani one. My MIL sometimes dry roasts the coconut and sometimes not. Both have their own distinctive flavors and I like them both equally. The plain garlic tadka adds a wonderful flavor to the curry. Use coconut oil, if you can, like the Konkanis do. Any other cooking oil works fine too.
1/2 cup dried black eyed peas (or a 14oz can and skip the soaking/pressure cooking)
4-5 big cloves of garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp tamarind concentrate
1 tsp coconut oil
salt to taste
To roast and grind:
1/2 cup coconut gratings/shreds
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp urad dal
1/5 tsp methi seeds (optional)
4-5 dried red chilies
Soak the black eyed beans for a few hours and pressure cook with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt, until well cooked but not mushy. Drain and keep aside. Reserve about half a cup of the drained water.
IN a pan, dry roast the roast and grind ingredients, adding coconut in the end for about 10 seconds. Cool and grind along with tamarind concentrate & water to make a slightly runny paste.
In the same pan, combine the cooked beans, the reserved water and the ground masala. Add more water for a thinner consistency.
Add salt and bring to a boil.
Heat coconut oil and fry the crushed garlic, until slightly browned. Pour this over the cooked curry.
Serve with chappatis or plain white rice.

Budget impasse hurts economy
WASHINGTON -- The political standoff over the U.S. budget is slowing the U.S. economy -- more so than any hesitance by Americans to spend freely.
That consensus emerges from the latest Associated Press Economy Survey just as the budget impasse in Washington is about to trigger automatic spending cuts across the economy.
Many economists think consumer spending has slowed in response to higher tax burdens but will rebound later in the year. By contrast, they worry that the budget fights in Washington will persist for much of 2013 and drag on economic growth.
Twenty-three of the 37 economists who responded to the survey last week say the paralysis in Washington is a significant factor in slowing the economy. The next-biggest factors they cite, in order: too little job growth, excessive government regulation and taxes, stagnant wages and cautious bank lending. Only eight say they worry about consumers saving more and spending less.
The budget impasse that will set off $85 billion in spending cuts starting Friday will shave an estimated half-percentage point from economic growth this year.
It will be followed by other key deadlines: Much of the government will shut down March 27 without new legislation to authorize spending. Congress must also agree to raise the government's borrowing limit in May or the government will risk defaulting on its debt.
Meeting those deadlines could involve more spending cuts or tax increases. Either could further slow growth.
The economists' views suggest that the budgetary paralysis hurts the economy in at least two ways: It's eroding consumer and business confidence, which could reduce spending and investment, and it will trigger the government spending cuts that are about to kick in.
These come on top of the reduced take-home pay for most workers caused by the Social Security tax increase that took effect Jan. 1.
Businesses "aren't willing to hire people or invest in plants and equipment knowing the uncertainty," says Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University Channel Islands. "The prudent thing to do is to postpone."
The AP survey collected the views of private, corporate and academic economists on a range of issues. Among their views: The economy will grow 2.2 percent this year, a modest pace that roughly matches the average annual rate since the recession ended in June 2009. In a typical economy, such growth wouldn't be a concern. But it hasn't been enough to repair the damage from the recession.

Sony's PlayStation 4 'Shingen' update adds HDR support to every PS4 console
Sony's latest update to the PlayStation 4's system software adds high dynamic range support for older consoles.
Sony's latest update to the PlayStation 4's system software adds high dynamic range support for older consoles.
For those of you with a 4K TV who want to get the best out of it sooner rather than later, one of the ways to do so is to shoot your own 4K videos. It's possible to shoot such video with many new digital still cameras, and if you already own a capable model, then Panasonic's HC-WX970M camcorder won't hold much appeal. This camcorder is for those of you who have a need for a dedicated video camera with 4K capturing.
Fishing enthusiasts and cyclists know all about Shimano reels and gears. Based on that name recognition, the company will no doubt be hoping that users of its products will also have a mind to check out the action cam it's offering. It's called the Shimano Sport Camera, and it's pitched at cyclists, as well as those of you who want to record activities near (or on and under) the water.
Panasonic's DMC-GH4 is a serious camera that's designed for the most creative of minds. It's a Micro Four Thirds-based, interchangeable lens camera that packs not only an excellent ability to capture stills, but also the ability to record ultra-high definition, 4K video. Basically, you can call it a photo/video hybrid.
Sony AX100E 4K camera is three-quarters smaller than the company's original, but it still manages to incorporate popular features such as wireless connectivity and slow motion recording.
GoPro and Contour have an established history in 'action' video cameras -- small, durable video recorders with basic controls and wide-angle lenses. Swann is not a name you'd associate with these products — they're a security camera company -- but the Freestyle HD is nevertheless a genuine competitor when it comes to recording decent quality video in a miniature package.
The Sony HDR-PJ200E is a tiny camcorder with a built in projector. It performs well and is a lovely gadget for frequent travellers: capture some neat footage during the day, then at night project the results on an empty wall wherever you happen to be staying.
When we looked at the Contour+ video camera we were impressed with its video quality and size, but of more value was its miniature construction -- it easily fit in a pocket, or could be thrown in a backpack. What made it great was the extra Bluetooth functionality that turned a smartphone into the camera's viewfinder, allowing easy position and exposure adjustments. Contour's new ROAM doesn't have this feature, but it is the same convenient size and is also waterproof to a depth of one metre.
The Contour+, from extreme sports video camera company Contour, is a tough and compact camera that records Full HD video at a variety of quality settings and frame rates. It has the potential to be an indispensable tool for anyone looking to record their sporting endeavours, and we're pleased to report that it does its job near-perfectly.
I must confess: I'm not a regular camcorder user. (When you look at the sample footage embedded in this article that will become obvious to you -- Ed.) I prefer the convenience of a digital SLR or compact camera instead, and I rarely have a need to shoot just video. In fact, there is very little that would tempt me to buy a camcorder these days, even if they are capable of capturing better motion than digital cameras. Sony must know that it needs to do something a little extra to entice users to buy dedicated video cameras these days, and perhaps that's why its Handycam PJ30VE ships with an inbuilt pico projector.
The Samsung U10 is a pocket camcorder for bloggers and casual videographers. Boasting 1080p video quality, inbuilt editing software, a time-lapse recording function and a 10-megapixel still image mode, the Samsung U10 is pretty well equipped for the asking price ($249).
The Canon Legria HF S21 is a high-end Full HD camcorder aimed at serious videographers.
Big savings on Dell Wasabi printer, Logitech Squeezebox Boom wireless music system, plus lots more!
Grab yourself a bargain as we begin the countdown to Christmas! This week you can choose from two great Panasonic and Nikon digital cameras, a large and powerful Dell notebook, a Sony Full HD camcorder, the latest TomTom GPS units, a Nokia smartphone and much, much more!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The hipster shop, being geek chic and "awww, you guys!"
Mar 5th
"You like cats?" asked the slow-speaking Urban Outfitters cashier as he price-checked a holographic iPhone case for me.
"Yeah… but I've always been into cats," I replied. "Like, I liked cats before they were cool. Before they became this big thing on the internet…"
"Yeah man, like the Weeknd…"
The sole reason that I'm wearing my too-short bangs under a hat or twisted to the side until they grow out is so that I don't look like a stupid hipster. I don't look like a hipster, I don't dress like a hipster, and I don't act like a hipster (F*CK BRUNCH. Yeah, I said it.). But dag nabbit if I don't say things that make me sound like one sometimes.
"I liked cats before they were cool."
WHO EVEN SAYS THAT? Cleopatra's grandma?!?
Okay so hi… *blush*
Remember that one time in Grade 4 when a seagull pooped on your head during outdoor gym class and you started bawling and ran into the school humiliated, not because you'd been pooped on (that part was actually pretty funny) but because you'd started wailing like a little baby in front of all your classmates, and so the secretary called your daddy to come and pick you up from school so that you could take a shower and then all of the sudden it's the next day and you arrived at school in the morning and felt everybody staring at you like " she stooopittt…."
That's never happened to me.
I was the girl who peed her pants on the trampoline in gymnastics when she was 8 (true story,) but the seagull thing felt more relevant here — plus it totally happened to a boy in my class so it's not entirely a fabrication.
What I'm trying to say is "Thank you" and "I'm okay."
I received a flood of emails and messages in response to my last post, all of them touching and much appreciated. Some of them even made me misty-eyed. The one with the underwear guy made me dry heave (AGAIN) but this is the internt and that's what you get when you put your email address on your blog alongside photos of yourself trying on skirts at Urban Outfitters.
a) I love that coat on the left but didn't buy it because like, bills. b) I DID buy the skirt on the right because it's leather and pleated and crazy cute. I tried on the tee for lulz, but am now reminded of something else I stumbled upon recently.
C.R.E.A.M. — Cats rule everything around me. What a creature! Thanks again to Google Images for that gemly gem.
Back to what I was saying though, about the nice comments and things you said… a lot of it was quite useful and helpful. If I haven't replied to you yet, don't worry – I saw it, I love it, and I'll reply soon (unless you're underwear guy, natch.)
I'm in the planning stages of a redesign now. I hope to get a new, cleaner, more modern layout up by the beginning of April. It might not be perfect, but it will be done. Some new editorial themes and features will likely roll out after that. I don't want to stop blogging, but like I said before, some things need to change. I love you all for sympathizing and understanding.
My friend Holly passed along this excellent piece on procrastination, perfectionism, achievment and expectations that I think you'll really like (or at least feel) if my last post resonated with you: Procrastination is not Laziness, by David Cain (who is a FANTASTIC blogger, btw. Canadian too)
All I do is shop shop shop, no mattah what… Oh my ew. I just sang something in the style of DJ Khaled. WHO AM I?
Shopping – not necessarily buying – is therapy for me. It makes me feel good. Pretty things, clothes, gadgets… those things make me happy. American Apparel and Future Shop, I could go for days. Most of those days would be spent laughing at of the funny outfits I can put together at American Apparel
Anyoo, check it oot! I'm "Lady geek of the week" at Being Geek Chic — a self-described "blog for stylish geeks, sophisticated nerds and people who enjoy the musings of a complete dork." Wicked! My favourite kind of honour
Head on over to BGC for the rest of that interview to see who I cited as my ultimate fictional style inspiration (hint: IT'S TOTALLY SAILOR MOON AND BLAIR WALDORF MIXED TOGETHER LIKE A SWIRL CONE.)
Bed time for this gal. Balance, ya?
P.S. – PLOT THINE PUSS ON THE CAT MAP, MEOW! For the tigers. For the tigers.
Glow-in-the dark dinosaur money? You're killing me, Smalls!
Apr 12th
Hey. So guess what?
The Royal Canadian Mint (read: the government agency responsible for creating all of Canada's highly touted funny money) issued coins with freaking GLOW IN THE DARK DINOSAURS ON THEM this week.
This confirms my suspicion that our country is being run by 11-year-old boys on acid.
Have you ever wondered why Canada doesn't have orphans wandering through the streets offering to shine your shoes and stuff? IT'S BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN CAPTURED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND ARE BEING FORCED TO DESIGN YOUR MONEY.
I assume these chaps are being stored in the 1990s because that's the last time I heard of anybody dropping acid, and also because I want to picture them looking like the Sandlot boys.
That is, without a doubt, the greatest movie of all time. I don't even need to argue why. If you know what's up, you know why. For-ev-ver…
I just Googled the rival gang leader kid from that scene. I wanted to find out what's became of such a fine little actor. Turns out his name is Wil Horneff and, well, not much has become of him at all. Some time after the Sandlot, he appeared in Bop. *cough*
Back to the money.
In Canada, we have plastic hundos and ride the streetcar with golden coins called "Loonies" and "Toonies". Like video game characters. Is it any surprise we've developed a reputation for being "Wacky?"
This is the greatest effing country in the entire world.
Canada, thank you for contributing to my own weird-as-heck personality. I'd be happy to design a new bill for you one day
when if your orphans OD. In the meantime, I'm content to write about you (and… other weird things).
I'm still trying to make this more of a fashion blog, I swear.
Maybe if I didn't stay up so late cruising the web for gifs and writing about hot dog pizza I'd be able to wake up in the mornings with enough time to take photos like Tavi used to…
Soon. Soon. I've got to set up my Karotz first so that he can do it. Big weekend ahead! 6 parties on Saturday night alone. Will I make them all? No way in h-e-double hockey sticks. Whatever happens, I'll wear something cool. AND BLOG ABOUT IT. There. Fashion blogging 101. I'm done already.
Hehe. That was a good day.
Peepza, Bunnysocks and a dozen + Geeky Easter Eggs
Apr 8th
Zombie Lich Jesus day, friends!
I meant to push this post live earlier in the day but passed out straight after family Easter brunch instead. Peep coma.
SPEAKING OF PEEPS (my favourite candy of all time), I only recently discovered that there's an entire world of marshmallow chicken cuisine out there.
Peeps Sushi, Peeps Krispies, Peepsicles, Deep fried Peeps, PEEPZA!
Be still my pancreas.
I also stumbled upon a massive "Peep show" at the Carol Arts Centre in Westminster Maryland, where hundreds of artists have been creating "marshmallow masterpieces" every spring for the past 5 years.
Road trip 2013?
I didn't go as big for Easter this year as I usually do for holidays. No chocolate factory video blogs, trampoline benders, taking my cats to see the Easter Bunny or sugary myspace graphics…
No anything, really.
I had intended to make some cool undead Easter eggs but time slipped away from me this weekend with all of the unexpected last-minute parties and Highway 401 breakdowns.
Belt broke. Smoke billowed. Engine overheated. Kapow.
A couple of nice OPP officers pulled up behind me on the shoulder of the road and called what turned out to be the coolest tow truck ever. VROOM VROOM! The driver reminded me of Santa.
That's the kind of cab you need to climb up into, and if you didn't already know how much I love climbing (trees, fences, buildings) now you do. I really like climbing.
Purple truck, silver lining.
My dad had to come and pick me up in Woodstock after that happened yesterday afternoon and by the time we got home to Chatham, I was so bummed and beat that I "took a nap" at 8:30 p.m.
I woke up 14 hours later, just in time to take a shower and get back on the highway for Easter Brunch with the fams in Windsor.
Now I'm home and enjoying some of Chef Mommy's leftovers / crusing the web for Easter hilarity. She made Perch and potatoes and baby bok choy last night. And crepes!
Anyhoo, I'd already started building this "Geeky Easter Egg" roundup post last week so I decided to go forth now. It was inspired by Neatorama and Oddee these sweet Pantone Easter eggs:
Here are way more than a dozen more (not really even that) geeky Easter eggs for you to enjoy:
"Easter" egg (get it?):
One egg to rule them all:
Bender egg:
Mia Wallace Egg:
Pokemon eggs:
Eggshell script egg:
Forever alone egg:
All of the memeface eggs:
Super Mario eggs:
Nightmare before Easter egg:
Master Shake egg:
TV test pattern egg:
Southpark eggs:
Domo egg:
Clockwork Orange egg:
Kitty Cat Egg:
Egg Kitty Cat:
Easter Bunny Kitty Cat:
Kitty Cat meets Easter Bunny:
I must now acknowledge that many of the above eggs aren't all that geeky, but newf*** social media derps love that word and Google bringeth mad clicks. Not that I uh, care about traffic…
If you're still jonesin' for some oviform goodness, Pleated Jeans has got some Famous film scenes created with Easter eggs here.
And finally, the greatest (not yet pranked) church sign I've seen outside of the Simpsons (via Buzzfeed):
How's that for progressive?
I'm going to go watch some TV now, because that's pretty much all I can ever do when I come home. Not because Chatham's just that boring, but because my parents' couches / TV / fridge / cats / blankets are just that good.
Those are my bunny socks. HAPPY EASTER!

Actually, I do have that book, but I was looking for something a little (no pun intended) more uplifting in tone. And my library lists it under both 'X' for X, Malcolm and 'H' for Haley, Alex.
I choose a comedian's book, I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This! by Bob Newhart. I did LOL once or twice, but it was more thoughtful and reflective than funny throughout. I liked it.
From Star Wars Episode VII: the Broadway Edition... FN and the Amazing Technically-Poe's Dream Jacket.
Now have read 18 books (and passed 5K in pages read), with the days of summer waning. Recents?
Two Parts Textbook, One Part Love by, as the book cover stated "America's Number One Teacher" LouAnne Johnson (she wrote the book that became the film Dangerous Minds). It was a "recipe" book for teaching suggestions and advice. Sometimes, she and I are exactly on the same page, other times she contradicts herself in the book, while yet more instances have her almost telling me to give up the teaching profession. It will help me to start another year in the classroom, as I'll reconsider some of my policies and expectations, but it didn't change my life.
White as Snow by Tanith Lee. My sci-fi book club's topic for the next discussion is "fairy tales," and this book was on the suggested readings list. It was a retelling of Snow White. It mixed in the myth of Demeter, Hades, and Persephone and combined various versions of the Snow White story. A few times, it was interesting, but manily it was too wordy and confusing to follow. An "ugh" rating for me.
Letters left to read: C (one library has it checked in, but it's farther from home and not along my normal errands route), D (a 400+ pg book with scientific trends takes a while), H, I (in progress right now), Q, R, X, and Y. Can I do it? Mebbe...
From Star Wars Episode VII: the Broadway Edition... FN and the Amazing Technically-Poe's Dream Jacket.
Unfortunately, real life and the runup to SDCC has ruined my reading schedule, but I have a plan, I'm going to bring the ipod touch and read in long lonely lines at the con.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Two more short ones, really only due to their authors' names.
Toxic Friends, True Friends by Florence Isaacs. It was apparently targeted towards women, but I did learn I'm a horrible person. With the occasional good friend thrown in.
Home Sense by Eduardo Xol. This was an interior decorating book, with probably half pictures/half text. I needed an 'X.' This fulfilled the need.
Just under 6000 pages with the 20 I've read (averaging around 285 pages each). Need six more, and I have four of them (C, D, H, and R) on my dresser; Q and Y remain undecided.
From Star Wars Episode VII: the Broadway Edition... FN and the Amazing Technically-Poe's Dream Jacket.
Getting closer to the end o' summer for me and trying to reach the 26 goal (broke the 6000 page barrier, 4 books to go).
Parenting Young Athletes the Ripken Way by Cal Ripken Jr. I'm not a parent, but I thought seeing a perspective of many of the parents of my high students could help for motivation or understanding. I wil say this; Cal picked the right career, as he isn't the strongest writer, style-wise. His points are clear and easy to understand, but a bit too simplistically.
The Winner Stands Alone by Paulo Coelho. I like his style. This one turned into a bit of a mystery, and while you could consider the end a surprise or an expected cliche, it was still well done. It is set in Cannes during the film festival, with the theme of celebrity and fame as traps, plus obession gone right (at least in the minds of those obessessing). Not for those seeking an uplifting tale of perserverance (think a type of The Devil Wears Prada the novel, not the Disney-ized film version, story).
From Star Wars Episode VII: the Broadway Edition... FN and the Amazing Technically-Poe's Dream Jacket.
Two letters left: D and H, for 26 of 26.
Red, White, and Brew: An American Beer Odyssey by Brian Yaeger. I'm no beer drinker at all, but his was a 'Y' letter. I have taken a country trip before (not seeking breweries and beer sellers). He is clearly well-versed in this subject, and his style is easy to follow and in good detail. The people he met are interesting, too. Not bad, despite my lack of interest in the overall subject.
Dog On It by Spencer Quinn. I needed a 'Q,' and puns are always a plus. I now will seek out his other "Chet and Bernie Mystery" story(ies?). Told from the POV of a dog (don't know his breed) named Chet, it's a down-on-his-luck private detective tale. Not all that mysterious and shocking, but well done with the dog's perspective (all the issues with memory, food, lack of color seen, etc.) and good motifs ("have I told you ____ already?" "don't get me started with ___" ) and funny parts. I really liked this one.
From Star Wars Episode VII: the Broadway Edition... FN and the Amazing Technically-Poe's Dream Jacket.
Just finished Dances With Wolves by Michael Blake, which was of course, turned into the Costner movie. Excellent book.
It's been years since I've seen the movie, so I can't compare them until I get my Extended Cut (4 hours long!) in the mail any day now.
There are like 4 or 5 books I want to read next, so I need to decide soon.
[FONT=Book Antiqua]He passes to Moses - He shoots, he scores![/FONT]
Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Broke the 7K page mark, so far.
Book #25 is the penultimate in my attempt to read the alphabet by author: Pompeii by Robert Harris. It's a historical fiction set around the days before Vesuvius erupted. It was quite authentic sounding (if you ignore the more recent era profanity terms that make it seem a bit anachronistic to me). I appreciated the drawn map at the front as a nice geographic reference. Not too bad.
Letter 'D' is written by Charles Darwin. I'm halfway through it. I should finish it by the time my body adds two more legs and a prehensal [sp?] tail.
From Star Wars Episode VII: the Broadway Edition... FN and the Amazing Technically-Poe's Dream Jacket.
Well, my journey toward the alphabet goal is now complete. The Origin of Species by Chuck D finished it up. A VERY detailed account, much like someone explaining a textbook. Now I can say I read it all the way through; whew.
The breakdown:
Allen, S (humor)
Brooker, W (Star Wars)
Coelho, P (fiction)
Darwin, C (history/science)
Estleman, L (detective mystery)
Francis, M (youth fiction)
Golden, C (Star Wars)
Harris, R (historical fiction)
Isaacs, F (self-help)
Johnson, L (education)
Kranz, G (science/history/biography)
Lee, T (fantasy)
Miller, K (Star Wars)
Newhart, B (humor)
Overholser, S (western)
Piper, H (sci-fi)
Quinn, S (detective mystery)
Ripken, C (sports/parenting)
Steinbeck, J (fiction)
Tan, A (fiction)
Udall, B (fiction)
Voltaire (satire)
Wolfe, R (sports)
Xol, E (home & garden)
Yaeger, B (beer geography )
Zubrin, R (sci-fi)
26 books, about 7500 pages. But since there's still a week and a half left before school resumes I can try and add a few more books to the total by doubling up on letters, of course.

Photography Workshops
During 2011 Howie taught two photo workshops in Digital Outdoor Photography. This is designed as two separate half day sessions for up to 6 people. Participants of workshops wrote the
following comments
Course would be appropriate for a serious amateur photographer, but contains information that would be helpful for a professional photographer as well. Course would be most useful for someone attempting to master a digital SLR camera with an interest in outdoor photography.
The first 4 hour session covers composition, exposure, essential controls of Digital SLR cameras, histogram interpretation, camera stabilization techniques, high dynamic range, auto vs manual focus, and depth of focus.
The second 5 hour session includes a field trip to Tracy Aviary or other nearby location. Participants will use their own cameras. After a couple of hours of photography, a second session includes downloading images and demonstrating basic post production techniques with Adobe software.
Course can be customized according to participant's special interests.
Information about upcoming courses will be posted here.

St. John's has been awash with former Senators for the last three days.
Laurie Boschman, Shaun Van Allen, and Patrick Lalime were here for a couple of days signing autographs and running clinics.
Rob Zamuner was here helping out on behalf of the National Hockey League Players' Association, for which he now works as a liaison between the players and the association, and Shane Hnidy was here as the colour analyst for the Winnipeg Jets.
Finally, in another episode that shows just how small Canada is, former Gee-Gee defenceman Tim Greene was discovered working at a TD branch on Water St. in downtown St. John's.
He happened to be behind the counter when I walked in to replenish the cash supply. One thing led to another and to an unexpected bit of serendipity.

Do you E-Fly around Salem Oregon?
I met an e-flyer, new to the e- part, yesterday in Tammies Hobbies...he had driven to Beaverton (Portland) to get a part, and to get advice.
He wants to hook up with e-flyers in the Salem area, get suggestions/advice and assistance getting Electrified. I suggested how to mount his new gearbox, but what would serve him best is "local" help.
He is not on the WWW. If you will email me privately, I will give you his name and contact information.
why not direct him to one of the local clubs in the area, I know there are some electric flyers around there. (Of course some of its F5B type stuff) What about Dieter from Shredair, maybe he knows of some people..........Hey Dieter, do you know anyone in Salem who flies E.
There sure is a club in Salem with a nice field near Turner. However, most e-flying takes place at the Kuenzi sod farm east of town along State Street. To fly there regularly, you must join either the Salem or the Portland clubs. The site is AMA insured.
There are many e-flyers in Salem, but I have handy the number for only one: Bob Sterett can be reached at 503/364-5915. He has no answering machine, so please try patiently.
You can contact me also at 541/954-6842. If fact, if the weather holds, we're going flying at the sod farm at least one day this coming week. And it's not just F5B; we do have "real" planes with wheels :o) and little Speed-400 polyhedral jobs.
Last summer while flying at the Benton County Aerodome in Adair Village, a gentleman who was working on a building project nearby saw me flying my TwinJet. He dropped by the field as I was getting ready to leave and mentioned he was amongst a good share (yet still a minority) of modelerls in the Salem area who fly electrics one morning a week in a large parking field adjacent the Oregon Fairgrounds.
The man's name is Ed Summers and he works for Dale's Remodeling on S.E. Commercial Street, Salem, Tel. (503)-370-7609.
While visiting the static judging at the Evergreen Scale Masters Qualifier, he was also there with a few eflight buddies from the Salem area. We all talked and I learned there is quite a bit of eflight activity in Salem, but it is not organized as an eflight club per se. The electric fliers simply coagulate from here and there.
I should also add tha the Benton County Radio Control Club (BCRCC,) of which I am a member, consists of modelers mostly from Albany and Corvallis. This club is making slow but steady progress into electrics. Many members have at least an e-powered sailplane or parkflyer, and, although gas power is their mainstay, each summer when I'm in the area there is noticeably more interest in eflight.

Ashley Stump is used to big-time competition in cross country and track and field.
La Salle University is counting on that.
The Central Cambria senior standout in cross country and track and field signed a Division I letter-of-intent on Monday at the high school to compete for the Explorers in the Atlantic 10 this fall.
"This is a good fit for her both running-wise and academic-wise. Being her guidance counselor, I am super excited for her," Central Cambria coach Randy Wilson said. "It's just awesome that all her hard work and dedication has paid off."
Stump finished in the top 25 at the District 6 Class AA cross country championships last fall and qualified, along with her Central Cambria teammates, for the state meet.
During the past winter indoor track and field season, she finished fourth in the 800-meter run at the Tri-State Track and Field Coaches Association championship meet. She is currently running track in the spring, where she qualified for states last year.
"There were a couple of other schools on her radar, but she was on their radar and they sought her out," Wilson said.
Stump had three schools from which to pick with East Stroudsburg and Misericordia being the other two.
"It was a really tough situation for me,'' Stump said. "I have been going over these three schools the past couple of months. I just liked the [La Salle] campus better, the team better. I like their program better. It really stuck out to me more than the other schools."
Stump said she believes she will make the traveling team for cross country and also feels she should be able to run with the track and field program. Running for Wilson the past four years is something that she feels has gotten her ready for the collegiate life.
"With him being dedicated and serious, and that he actually is there running with us, it helped us do better," she said. "Even on tough days, he pushed us harder. He got us to push through it, and I think that really prepared me."
La Salle coach Charles Topey, who coaches both cross country and track, reminds Stump a lot of her high school mentor.
"He is very dedicated and takes it seriously, but yet he makes it fun. When it's time to be serious, he is serious but he makes sure there is time for fun, too," Stump said.
Stump will major in speech pathology, which is one of the reasons why she chose La Salle.
"She is an incredibly mature student, and she made a very mature decision," Wilson said. "You give up a lot of little things when you do this, things your friends do, but then you go and get a scholarship to La Salle, that is an amazing thing."

After the combine is really when fans and experts can get a true grasp of what exactly will transpire during the draft.
Prior to all the 40-yard dashes and broad jumps, everything is speculative. Heading into pro days, a bunch of players really stood out during the combine to rocket up the mock draft boards.
Here is that group of guys that should be looking to hear their names called much earlier than they had expected come April.

Activists to Rally Against Increasing Use of Drones to Spy and Kill
Jump to navigation
NLG past president Marjorie Cohn recently participated in a panel on the illegality of drones and targeted killing off the battlefield at the conference, "Drones around the Globe: Proliferation and Resistance," in Washington, D.C. Nearly 400 people from around the world came together to gather information, protest, and develop strategies to end targeted killing by combat drones. The Summit was sponsored by CODEPINK, The Nation Magazine, Institute for Policy Studies, Center for Constitutional Rights, and the Georgetown Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild.
Kimberly Rivera, a conscientious objector and pregnant mother of four was recently sentenced to 10 months in jail because she refused to serve in the Iraq war.

An Amarillo man was charged Wednesday with aggravated robbery after police said he shattered a front door window, forced his way into his girlfriend's sister's home and robbed several adults at gunpoint.
The gunman covered his face with a black bandana, but one of the victims identified the suspect by a tattoo on his face, police said.
Police found Carlos Estrada Jr., 30, at his apartment and took him to the Potter County Jail, where he remained under a $50,000 bond, authorities said.
About 8:25 p.m., officers responded to a home invasion robbery in the 1600 block of South Buchanan Street. Victims told police a man and a woman were dressed in black and one was armed with a pistol, officials said.
When officers arrived at the home, they saw a shattered window pane from the front door, which was partially open, police said.
A 20-year-old homeowner told police she heard someone break the glass and saw who she thought was her sister's boyfriend, Estrada, standing at the front door, authorities said.
Estrada then forced his way into the house and pursued the homeowner, who ran toward the back of the house, police said.
Estrada — who was masked with black clothes, black gloves, a black bandana to cover his face, a black wig and a black hat — pointed the pistol at all of the home's occupants — four adults and a couple of children — and demanded money, department spokesman Cpl. Jerry Neufeld said.
The homeowner told police she was positive the armed man was Estrada because of identifying tattoos on his face.
Estrada and a female intruder wearing a beanie took a purse and some change from guests, police said.
As police were still on scene, dispatchers received a call stating someone had found a purse near East 15th Avenue and Canyon Drive.
Officers found a bag with
a wig, glove and bandana near the purse, which belonged
to the homeowner's guest, police said.
Police then went to Estrada's apartment at 2115 S. Polk St. and found him and the female suspect.
The homeowners and witnesses identified Estrada as the robber, police said.
The female suspect was identified, but not arrested, authorities said. Neufeld said investigators will run some tests for evidence.
Police continue to investigate the robbery.

Long-term disability (LTD) insurance is designed to replace a portion of your monthly income if you become disabled and can no longer work. According to CDA Disability Divide proprietary research conducted in March 2010, 64 percent of wage earners believe they have a 2 percent or less chance of becoming disabled for three months or more during their working career. However, the Social Security Administration Fact Sheet from March 2011 reports that the actual odds today are 30 percent.

You need the fig2dev program in the TransFig package in addition to xfig to be complete. The fig2dev program is the program which allows you to print figures and export them to various languages and formats such as PostScript, GIF, JPEG, etc.
Xfig and TransFig
You can get the source from http://www.xfig.org/xfigdist, ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/drawing_tools/xfig and its mirror sites or from any CTAN machine ( ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/pub/archive/graphics, for example).
If you don't want JPEG support, comment out `#define USEJPEG' using the XCOMM comment directive (e.g. XCOMM #define USEJPEG).
Suggestion to Package Maintainers: If you are preparing a package to be distributed to the world in the binary form, it is recommended to enable internationalization facility so that the package can be used also in Japan or Korea.
If you don't use make install and copy files manually, note that:
Hint: Users of LaTeX2e will probably want to include both of these options; users of LaTeX 2.09 will probably want to include neither.
If you don't want JPEG support, comment out `#define USEJPEG' using the XCOMM comment directive (e.g. XCOMM #define USEJPEG).
See README and Imakefile for more details.
Both need an X server (e.g. Hummingbird Exceed, or Cygwin/X to run. See: http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/)
GhostScript must be compiled with pbmraw, ppmraw, pcx256, jpeg, and tiff24nc driver.
GhostScript can be found at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu and its mirror sites, or at ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin.
Commands that may actually be used are: pbmtoxbm, pgmtopbm, pnmdepth, pnmscale, pnmtopng, pnmtotiff, ppmquant, ppmtoacad, ppmtogif, ppmtopcx, ppmtopgm, ppmtojpeg and ppmtoxpm.
netpbm can be found at
or its
mirror sites
in /contrib/graphics.
Be sure that it includes ppmtojpeg. This may be found only in the newer releases, such as 9.0 and 9.1
$ cp /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/*l.pfb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1Append the file /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/fonts.scale to Type1/fonts.scale. The first line in the latter file contains is the number of fonts listed in that file. Change that number to include the additional fonts.
Now run mkfontdir(1) to update the font database:
$ mkfontdir
If your operating system has the chkfontpath command, alternative is to add the Ghostscript font directory to the X server font path:
chkfontpath -a /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/fonts/In either case, if your X-server is running already you have to tell it to reread the font databases with xset(1):
$ xset fp rehash

My Fine Arts Thesis is an investigation of the ways we negotiate knowledge, ideology, and belief within a society that deters their thorough consideration. Individual introspection is hindered by a culture of distraction brought forth by advances in communication technology. The formation of meaningful connections, both interpersonal and communal, is dependent on a mutual understanding of value systems. However, a variety of forces hamper our ability to relate to each other in this manner. These include displacement and fragmentation resulting from the blurring of physical contexts in an era of technology;individuality as its own ethos; the problem of moral certainty and postmodernism; and a fear of judgment within a hyper-pluralistic society.
With these concepts in mind, I confronted individuals with the questions "What do you know?" and "What do you believe?" Some were individuals that I knew closely (though still without great knowledge of the plausible answers to these questions.) Some answered the questions (via email) as indirect contacts. These questions are purposefully broad and daunting. The very way that different people access the questions reveals their unique mentality and value-system.
The responses are typographically translated into material revelation and declaration. The diversity and delicacy of the responses are reflected in the use of eclectic materials that blur the line between text and object.
