Customer Question
we have a Kenmore Elite HE3t washer. we just purchased it. we plugged it in and it worked fine, it washed a load but we did not have it leveled good enough. So we leveled it with it plugged in. now we have no power, even after checking the electrical outlet and breaker. Is there a reset button we can push?

Hello! My name is XXXXX XXXXX I am happy to help you today! I am assuming that the machine appears to be completely dead with no lights, sounds or anything.
Unfortunately there is NO reset of any kind on the machine but something may have come loose on the CCU or interface when the machine was out of balance and vibrating excessively (I am assuming that is why you needed to re level it). if you are SURE that your outlet has 120VAC available and you have tried plugging the machine into a completely different circuit JUST TO BE SURE, you must remove the top by removing the three screws in the back of the top panel and checking the main controller (CCU) connections and the user interface board connections. If you have a meter, you can check the output of the line filter which is the first thing you will see connected to your power cord on the INSIDE of the machine. This supplies filtered AC power to the sensitive electronics in the machine and should be 120VAC at the output. Unlikely that circumstances leading up to this problem would have damaged this but its the first thing INSIDE you should check when the machine is completely dead. There is also a tech sheet located on the BOTTOM of the washer, taped to the INSIDE / SIDE panel accessible by removing the screws at the very bottom of the toe panel. This will give you all of the information you will need to troubleshoot past the line filter testing I have provided, but many of the tests will lead you in the direction of a failed CCU or user interface. It can be difficult to determine just which one specifically even for techs when there is NO power anywhere except into the CCU, but it is the exact same information we use when we are at your home to diagnose the machine. I really believe though that you will find that something came loose inside the washer when it was moving around. PLEASE let me know if you need further information, I am happy to answer more questions if need be!

the guys are doing your suggestions now. If everything leads to a failed CCU or user interface, how much is that to repair? Is it even repairable?
replied 6 years ago.
The CCU is part #285924 and costs $115.00 from sears and the user interface is part #8181699 and is $135.83. In MY opinion, if the diagnosis leads to CCU or UI, I consider it a worthwhile repair because you are now talking to a tech who considers the He3 and He3T his ALL TIME FAVORITE washer because of its excellent performance, decent repair frequency and overall bang for your buck. I have been working on these since the day they came out and even compared to some of the newer models, this one was a ROCK SOLID performer. This washer model is kind of like the Windows XP of washers, if that makes any sense. Not only that, but yes, both of these possibilities are easily repairable by even the average layman. Basically just plug and play installation. Lets just hope that you find something loose inside and dont have to spend a dime!

So far we see nothing that is loose. We've checked all the obvious parts that are plugged in. We also tried a another plug in, something we hadn't even thought of. We don't have a meter and won't be able to get one till tomorrow. Is replacing the parts something we could do ourselves? Esspecially if you talked us through it???
I'll push accept now, you're answers have been wonderful. If we can't repace the parts ourselves, what would you charge? Just so we can have an idea. Next time we have a question, can we ask for you?
Thank you.
replied 6 years ago.
The BEST indicator of a failed CCU being the problem instead of a UI is that if you are SURE you have power to the machine and out of the line filter and there are no loose connections AND you do
hear a small "CLICK" from the CCU when you plug it in, this usually means the CCU has failed. There is a small power relay on the CCU board itself that engages as soon as power is applied to the machine, even before turning it on and you should be able to hear this every time you plug in the washer. Replacing the CCU is EXTREMELY easy. it is just clipped on to the frame in the top rear of the machine and you just unclip it with a small screwdriver inerted under each clip area on the CCU and then ONE BY ONE, remove the connectors and install them on the new board, then just snap the new board back onto the frame and thats it! Very easy. The only problem I forsee if you do it yourself is accidentally plugging a connector into the wrong port, but that is why I reccomend R/R the connectors on the CCU one by one. Then the repair is foolproof.You can accept ANY time you feel that the answers you received were helpful and you can come back to this dialog later and ask more questions related to this exact same question for quite some time and you will not be charged again unless you ask a different unrelated question, and YES, you can always ask for a specific tech for future problems but when you come back to THIS dialog you will be guaranteed to get me for this problem. As far as what I charge, when out in the field this repair would be a Tier-II rate at $127.95 + parts which would include a trip charge, diagnosis and the labor to repair, but service providers rates vary GREATLY depending on several factors. We are not allowed to solicit business from this site. I am however VERY confident that using this information you WILL be able to repair this machine.

Pietersen targets better next time
Follow England's one-day fortunes in India via our match-by-match page - all the reports, reaction, video highlights and live photos
Kevin Pietersen has vowed England will learn from the limited-overs tour of India in time for their return in little over a year.
The tourists – who were whitewashed in the best-of-five one-day series but recovered to win the solitary Twenty20 international – are due to be back next winter for four Tests, seven ODIs and another T20.
Pietersen put indifferent summer one-day form behind him on this tour with 170 runs in four innings before making a match-winning 53 from 39 balls in Saturday's T20 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
The powerful right-hander's T20 innings included a switch-hit for six off Yusuf Pathan but ended when he missed an attempted reverse-sweep and was trapped in front by Suresh Raina.
Pietersen, who was reprimanded for his reaction to his dismissal, admitted he would like to play with such freedom in ODIs but is more concerned about the collective lessons England must take from this trip.
"I would love to say 'yes', but you can't say that because you're a lot more accountable for your wicket in 50 overs. You can't be as free," he said. "I mean, if I get out playing a switch-hit in 50-over form you look a clown. Twenty20 you're a lot more free."
"There's a lot more deeper issues we can look at with our batting and certainly with our bowling for when we come back here in 12-18 months."
Pietersen knows team director Andy Flower's off-field staff will make England work hard to improve in the only format that they are not ranked number one.
"We've got a management structure that drives us and pushes us and makes us challenge ourselves," he added.
"Look, we've tried really hard on this trip. We've obviously come unstuck in the one-dayers, but I think we showed a lot of courage and determination to come out and beat the Indian team."
Pietersen – who took part on Saturday despite a fractured left thumb – has built an affinity with India, having played there frequently for his adopted nation and in the Indian Premier League.
"It's an amazing country to play cricket," he said. "We're so lucky to come here as cricketers in this country because they really do treat you brilliantly. Very competitive on the field - it's hard on the field - but off the field they treat us like champions.
"Any cricketer that comes to India is very privileged and I really wanted to extend my stay and play at this great stadium."
The pain in Pietersen's hand at least eased as his innings progressed.
"I did struggle," he admitted. "There were certain shots, certain full balls that I really struggled with. Also when you get going in the middle, it gets a little bit easier, you can tolerate a lot more."

Staley, a highly touted tailback, proved his worth in the first game of his junior year. He rushed for four touchdowns and scored two more with a 30-yard reception and a 14-yard fumble return. He sat out for the entire fourth quarter as Williston-Elko (1-0) rolled to a season-opening win.
Barnwell (0-2) fumbled eight times in the game, including four turnovers in the first five and a half minutes of the third quarter.

NASA Quest
+ Search Quest
Bound Expedition: Pavilion Lake 2008
PROJECT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The deployment of DeepWorker submersibles into Pavilion Lake, Canada (50°51'57"N, 121°44'20"W), presents a unique opportunity to advance the long-term objective of human exploration of the Moon and Mars. By combining rigorous scientific research on life in extreme environments with high fidelity training in an underwater, remote field setting, this will serve to inform the knowledge base, tools and techniques of future human missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Justification for use of DeepWorkers to meet PLRP science goals:
PLRP Science Objectives:
The PLRP is a NASA-UBC led multi-disciplinary initiative (see http://supercritical.civil.ubc.ca/~pavilion/ for more information). Project members have been conducting science and exploration activities in the Pavilion Lake region since 2004. The overarching goal of this research is to develop an understanding of the mechanisms of formation of the unique microbialites in the lake and the potential for associated biosignatures. This understanding will contribute to astrobiology research by providing the basis for interpretation of similar organo-sedimentary structures either on early earth (e.g. stromatolites) or potentially on other planets. The following is a list of the on-going PLRP science objectives:
DeepWorker deployment in Pavilion Lake will directly support PLRP Science Objectives 2 and 3.DeepWorker 2008 Science Plans:
Contribution to Microbialite Mapping - Science Objective 3
To address our mapping goals, we will carry out the following science plan during the 10-day excursion to Pavilion Lake from June 23-July4, 2008:
1. Contour Mapping:
To understand the spatial coverage and variability of microbialites in Pavilion Lake, DeepWorker transects at set contour depths will be carried out. Still and digital photographic data, and GPS data will be compiled. Transect coverage will be by 10m intervals (i.e. 5 m, 15 m, etc… Note: these are nominal depths – actual operating depths are to be determined based on SONAR data), and grouped as follows for the purposes of designating teams to each task:
Figure 1. Pavilion Lake with contours at 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 45, and 55 m.
2. Basin Mapping:
3. 'Bioherm' Mapping:
4. Groundwater Inputs:
5. Photography of any visible salinity and thermal boundaries
6. Mapping of rock debris flows throughout lake
7. Vertical transects along identified regions of interest:
Contribution to Microbial Influences on Carbonate Formation – Science Objective 2
Distinguishing between mechanisms (abiotic versus biotic) of microbialite formation is crucial to the interpretation of biosignatures that may be preserved in similar structures on the early earth or other planets such as Mars.
Results of natural abundance isotope analysis (13C, 14C) of currently accessible (< 35 m deep) microbialites indicate the potential for input of carbon from regional groundwater to Pavilion Lake dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) as well as to the microbialites themselves. The results obtained for the single, small deepwater sample obtained (> 35 m) indicates that the proportion of old carbon is greater for this sample. This suggests variability in the carbon inputs to the deep portions of the lake or differences in the time of microbialite formation within the lake.
DeepWorkers will enable:
1. Direct sampling of deep microbialites (40 + m), which will allow for the:
2. The photo and video documentation, and mapping of sites of interest for future detailed sampling. Data gathered about microbialite morphology variability and distribution will be most useful to the science community if it can be clearly linked with internal morphology, and local and lake-wide geochemistry.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- At a meeting in Cairo Tuesday, 60 senior Hamas members reelected Khaled Meshaal as the Islamist group's political leader.
Exiled from Jordan over a decade ago, Meshaal, 56, set up headquarters in Damascus until Syria's civil war prompted him to leave. His re-election voids his recent announcement of stepping down from leadership.
A diplomat in Cairo, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that Egypt, Qatar and Turkey helped convince him to continue as the group's political leader.
"They saw Meshaal as a moderate and as an example of a leader who saw the world more comprehensively than other hardliners in the group," he said.
Meshaal, who strongly supports reconciliation between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, signed an agreement in Doha last year with P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas that has yet to be implemented.
In March 2007, the two rival Palestinian factions formed a unity government, following a Saudi-sponsored reconciliation agreement that produced the Mecca Accords. Three months later, Hamas defeated Palestinian Authority forces in a military coup that left the Islamist group in control of the Gaza Strip.
Since its takeover, Hamas has been implementing Islamist sharia law on the population in Gaza. On Monday, Hamas announced it would no longer allow mixed-gender schools after the age of nine.
The announcement follows implementation of a law passed in February that also disallows "gifts or aid aimed at normalizing [relations] with the Zionist [Israeli] occupation." Meshaal has maintained ties with Iran, a main source of weapons, training and funding for the group in its battle against Israel.
In 1997, Meshaal survived an assassination attempt by the Israeli Mossad in Jordan. The botched targeted killing was intended as retribution for terror attacks in Israel the same year.

This week, President Obama put forth a series of executive orders and a sweeping legislative package to implement, finally, some kind of lasting gun control.
All these are measures that have been called for, at one time or another, by Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey.
But Ramsey is not at all optimistic those recommendations will become the law of the land - on the federal or state levels.
"It's going to be a tough fight legislatively," Ramsey said Thursday, a day after Obama's announcements. "People still don't get it. They think this is all an overreaction that infringes on their rights. And that's a debate that's not going away."

My research over the past two decades has been concerned with the internal changes in US cities, especially in the changes that occur in response to residential mobility and migration. I have conducted both micro scale and individual studies of tenure choice, and large scale studies of demographic change in the neighborhoods of large metropolitan areas. The latter studies examine the nature of the population flows between cities and suburbs, white flight and the impact of legal intervention on the urban mosaic. I have also been particularly concerned about the relative roles of residential preferences and housing affordability in the way in which segregation has emerged in metropolitan areas. I am currently investigating the interaction of class, race and geography in metropolitan areas, as well as continuing my studies of how residential sorting structures the urban landscape.

PHILADELPHIA -- Attendance at this year's OTAs is a luxury that Eagles tight end Zach Ertz did not have last season but is relishing this year following a strong rookie campaign in 2013.
Because of the NFL's rules prohibiting incoming rookies from joining their teams prior to their school's graduation ceremony, Ertz missed the first month of the Eagles' off-season program last spring due to Stanford's late graduation date.
In spite of the lost time early on, Ertz still hauled in 36 receptions for 469 yards and four touchdowns in his first season. He is poised to potentially take a significant leap in his second year in Eagles head coach Chip Kelly's offense.
"Just the familiarity of the routine," Ertz said Monday at the Novacare Complex was the biggest difference from where he is now compared to this time last year. "Just coming out here every day with that singular focus of getting better. I have some great coaches and other great leaders in the tight end room."
Ertz' four touchdowns ranked 17th in the league last season but the combination of adding 15 pounds of muscle during the off-season and entering his second-year in Kelly's uptempo attack can only benefit him.
"I've had a relentless work ethic this off-season," Ertz said. "I want to get better every day and that's been the focus. "It's been great so far and just being out here with the coaches has been great for me personally. Obviously I wasn't here [at this point] last year, which was tough, but this year I get a whole off-season so that's good."
Given Kelly's propensity to use players at different positions, it isn't difficult to envision a scenario where Ertz is on the field with Jeremy Maclin, Riley Cooper, Jordan Matthews, Brent Celek and LeSean McCoy which could create plenty of space for 23-year-old to operate, especially in the middle of the field.
Ertz saw his production spike dramatically in the final five games last season when he was targeted 21 times, making 15 catches for 195 yards and three touchdowns while lining up both at tight end and in the slot in three or four receiver sets.
It is that versatility that Ertz hopes to see duplicated right from the start in 2014.
"I think you kind of saw it the second half of the season," Ertz explained. What went on. I was used all over the field and hopefully it's more of that.
"Our offense is all interchangeable whether you're a wide receiver, tight end or running back, you need to be able to play all over the field and that's a big deal to Chip and everyone else."

A Rotorua teacher has admitted deliberately driving into a tree, with three children in the car.
Charmaine Lana Herbert, 40, pleaded guilty in the Rotorua District Court yesterday to three counts of intentionally engaging in conduct likely to cause bodily injury to a child in her care.
Judge David Ruth said Herbert had been consuming alcohol and cannabis in Kaingaroa Village on January 19 this year.
At some point that day she drove into a tree, with three children aged under 18 in the car with her.
He said Herbert and one of the children suffered minor whiplash injuries and were treated in Rotorua Hospital.
The other two children were wearing seatbelts and were unharmed.
Herbert was treated by the mental health team at the hospital, he said.
Judge Ruth ordered a pre-sentence report and remanded Herbert on bail for sentencing on September 16.

What I do like is taking the natural color of alpaca and blending it with a dyed fiber whether it be more alpaca, wool (all types although partial to merino and cormo), bamboo, silk, etc. I think that additional color just emphasizes the beauty of the natural color.
On Tuesday I dyed up one white huacaya, one fawn huacaya and one merino fleece. I had a couple of crock pots going. I dyed the white and fawn huacaya in yellow and red. It's amazing the difference the fawn makes in giving you a richer color.
I won't get into the technical steps of dyeing fiber because they are very simple and easily read on the instructions... really, hot water, dye, vinegar and fiber are all the ingredients. Oh, and rubber gloves or else you will have, in my case, red, yellow and bluish fingers. I will let you know that I am using Jacqard Dye.
No matter how long you let the white huacaya set, it turns pinkish but you put fawn in that same mixture and a beautiful deep red pops at least when you are using the Fire Red Color that I ordered from Knitpicks.
What I was blown away with was the merino. I have never processed merino from the raw fleece before. I've bought merino top and dyed that but WOW! I see why so many fiber artists like to work with wool.
It's EASY! Yes, it appears that everything that has to deal with processing wool is easy. I know! The fact that there are so many more sheep that Alpaca doesn't help either. No wonder when I visit Fiber Fest, it's stall after stall of wool. Of course, my heart melts when I see and feel Alpaca...which means that the extra work to process it is so worth it.
The merino absorbed the color so quickly and when I started to blend colors it was amazing watching the transformation compared to alpaca. I wish I could describe it better but the best way I can is to say that alpaca is so dense compared to the "airiness" of merino. It takes longer for the alpaca to absorb the color. I would put the Alpaca fiber into the crock and it would take some time for the color to absorb into the fiber but when I put the merino in **POOF** color took. It took so well that I actually created some blends instead of just a straight color. I was able to sprinkle the dye on certain areas of the fleeces and it didn't take over the whole pot. I LOVED IT!
So...I had fun with the dye. Like I said before, I use Jacquard Dye. I only say this because I tried Kool Aid when I first started to play with fiber and didn't like it at all. Now I know some other farms who are using natural dyes straight from nature (like onion, bark, nuts, etc) and I want to try that too but for now I am learning the technique of using dye. This is where I would love to hear feedback from you, my fiber friends. What do you dye with? Have you noticed a difference in the way various fiber absorbs the dye?
There is a great book I bought that explains the dye process and how colors are affected by blending and fibers which I recommend you read. COLOR IN SPINNING by Deb Menz.
Once the fiber is dry...and I have finished my Ravelympics knitting projects, I am going to get busy carding up my dyed fiber with some natural colors to create some batts and roving. By the way, here is the progress on my handspun hat for Ravelympics. I have started Chart 2, which is the 26 row decrease. Not bad for day seven of the Olympics while running two businesses and a family.
Like I said before, I LOVE to experiment. Now next week, I am going to be without internet for four long days. I don't know if I can manage this because I am so dependent on my Blogger, Twitter, Facebook and Ravelry although I can access some from my phone. I will be taking a seminar on Fiber Sorting/Grading which is the beginning of me becoming a Certified Grader/Sorter of Fiber. I am very excited about this. I'll be down in Terre Haute, Indiana for the seminar leaving the farm and the family under the care of my husband. If you hear screams of distress, it's him having a meltdown when he realizes how much I do around the house and farm.
Keep up the Fiber Fun! I will try to post some of my new-found knowledge, if I can, next Friday. If not, you will have another week to wait and learn. Regardless, I will have Fiber Arts Friday up and running.

Send Your Daughter to Wife Camp – Shuddertoddler-times
Ah, now I know why my "hostessing skills" are off. My parents never sent me to make-over camp.
THANK GOD. Because apparently you can send your ten- to fourteen-year-old daughters to be Stepfordized, er, finished off, at a camp in Montreal this summer.
At Make-Over Camp, they're not taking the ugly duckling and turning her into a beautiful swan. They're taking your uncouth pre-teen and "instilling confidence, social charm and grace in an atmosphere of fun and friendship."
So, no burping contests, but plenty of "personal grooming and care, choice and co-ordination of attire, reception planning and hosting."
Oh goodie. She'll be able to throw a party AND pick out a pair of pumps to match her dress.
The program is part of the Lambda School of Music and Fine Arts where Make-Over Camp organizers say girls need to learn "presence" and "appropriate topics of conversation and appropriate attire."
And to teach them all that, they're throwing them back into the 1950s were boys don't need to learn to plan a reception or match tie to vest because there's a little girly learning to do it for them. Remind me again, which college accepts students based on their posture?
There's no doubt that kids today could benefit from some social skills, but learning to look an adult in the eye when they're talking to them should be picked up at home along with "personal grooming." It shouldn't take $750 to accomplish.
Of course, Lambda says this isn't sexist. They're "empowering" girls. Which is the word we hear bandied about anytime someone wants to protest something eminently sexist as an idea the feminist community should embrace.
How is it empowering to learn to coordinate your clothes? To learn to be a good hostess? Wouldn't it be just as empowering to hold business classes on organizing conferences and meetings . . . which carry with them hostessing skills on a much broader (not to mention more marketable) level? Or how about teaching the girls color coordination in art classes . . . which would equate to learn coordination of clothing? Let's throw in nutrition classes where they get a grasp on grooming that goes beyond hair and make-up. That's how you "empower" kids (kids, not just girls, kids).
I won't argue the bones of a good idea aren't there, but the execution is absolutely awful. As one critic said, the current set up is essentially a "wife camp" for girls.

Of all the coalition's education reforms it was free schools that generated most attention: campaigning parents bypassing bureaucrats to start their own state-funded schools.
Yet scarcely more than a dozen free schools will be open in September. For any school to open in little more than a year is an achievement. But the breakneck speed at which Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, is driving the policy presents problems of its own, such as the destabilising late scramble for admissions in Bristol.
Economist purists, and perhaps some scientists, may approve of the Darwinian dynamic of letting aspirational free schools open where

Defining Tikkun Olam
Rabbi Ron Shulman
A palindrome reads the same backwards as forwards, for example: DO GEESE SEE GOD?
Here's a wonderful palindrome poem, written by Jonathan Reed. You can find it on You Tube. It was the winner of a contest sponsored by AARP.
First read down the poem's lines, and then read again from the bottom up.
Lost Generation
by Jonathan Reed
I am part of a lost generation
and I refuse to believe that
I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
"Happiness comes from within."
is a lie, and
"Money will make me happy."
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
is more important than
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
but this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now, I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope.
I shared this text with my High School seniors in class this week. I asked them if it rang true. Among them and their peers, is there a cynicism and sense that they're growing into a world whose problems will overwhelm them?
Happily, collectively, they said, "no." They were in fact more in sync with the second, the reverse reading of the poem. There is hope, or as the prophet Jeremiah proclaimed, "Yeish tikvah l'aharitekha," there is hope for the future. Good to hear. I urged them to remember that Judaism is inherently optimistic as a world view, and that looking out over the horizon of their lives, remaining positive and hopeful will serve them well.
Among the many ways our tradition demonstrates this optimism is this. In the mid-sixteenth century, Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, known as the Maharal of Prague, a teacher of mysticism, proposed that the "whole purpose of Torah is to teach us how to repair the world." His Hebrew words for "repair the world" were l'taken et haOlam, tikkun olam.
That's where this familiar and popular Jewish concept comes from. I assume most of us are familiar with it. Many of us use the term, tikkun olam, to describe a motivating element of our personal Jewish identity. But we need to understand. By the Maharal's definition, repairing the world wasn't social action or social justice. It was ridding our hearts of evil. It was striving not to behave badly toward one another. It was common sense propriety and proper ritual practice.
As the Prophet Ezekiel declared in this morning's Haftarah, "A new heart (lev hadash) also will I give you, and a new spirit (ruah hadashah)." Jewish tradition's classic voices hear in this phrase the urge to goodness, and reverence of God.
Originally, tikkun olam is about honoring and preserving the equitable order of things, correcting aspects of Jewish law that don't treat people fairly or properly. Tikkun Olam is about being steadfast in response to God. In the twelfth century, Maimonides writes that all of the rulings, customs, and decrees of the oral rabbinic tradition were created "l'hazek hadat," to strengthen the religion, "u'ltaken haOlam," and to repair the world."
The place most of us come across the term, outside of popular usage, is in the Siddur when we recite Aleinu at the end of a service. There we reflect in prayer, asking of God, l'taken olam b'Malkhut Shaddai, to repair the world under Divine sovereignty, meaning, to the fourteenth century author of this prayer, God will fix the world. Our job is to believe, and to advocate for the moral truths that grow out of ethical monotheism.
I'm going somewhat backward in time as I describe the term tikkun olam, from its latest to its earliest appearances in Jewish consciousness; which now takes us all the way back to the Mishnah and the Talmudic era of the first centuries B.C.E where we first discover the term. The head of the rabbinic court, Rabban Gamliel decreed his reasons for matters of family law and personal concern as "mipnei tikkun olam," for the sake of the world's order."
Here's the point of our survey and learning. To do authentic tikkun olam, at least in the spirit of Jewish tradition, we have to train ourselves to speak not of our general charitable and social action goals, all worthy and important, and instead, focus on a particular problem that requires corrective action. That's what Judaism means by tikkun olam.
Our Bat Mitzvah Sara gave us an example today. "My mission," she told us, "is to help minimize hunger as much as I can in Baltimore and around the world." Putting food into the hands, mouth, and stomach of a hungry person is an act of tikkun olam. Tikkun Olam has to fix an actual problem, for an individual, for a group of people, and if we're able to, for society or the world. So while solving hunger is a huge dilemma, feeding a hungry person is a concrete, attainable act.
Every day over one billion people go hungry. Twenty-five thousand people die each day due to malnutrition. Every six seconds a child dies from starvation More than 60 percent of those who are chronically hungry are women.
Each week, there are 50,000 people in Maryland relying on emergency food programs - food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters - to put food on the table for their families. More than one third are children and elderly.
In Israel, 600,000 children are considered at risk for hunger. 400,000 families are labeled as facing "nutritional insecurity."
Today hunger is not a problem stemming from a lack of food, but from the challenges of how food is distributed world wide and the political, social issues of market access. And locally, in our Jewish community, hunger is also a function of economics, unemployment, underemployment, and escalating food prices.
In these weeks between Purim and Passover, food is central to our observances. As we begin the process of preparing our homes for Pesah, we come face to face with lots of food we haven't, and soon can't, consume. On Purim, Jewish tradition bids us give matanot l'evyonim, gifts to the poor which are intended to be not only necessary food, but special foods that bring joy as well as nourishment.
Before Passover, Jewish tradition bids us give ma'ot hitim, literally grain money. We donate our left over foodstuffs and our tzedakah for the sake of others who need to eat. These are both acts of tikkun olam because they seek to correct, for at least one person if not for many more, a specific problem.
In 1989, through the generosity of many, a hunger fund was established here at Chizuk Amuno as an act of tikkun olam. I must admit it is very satisfying when we administer this fund for the sake of those people and organizations we're able to support. I'm not making an appeal, though a contribution to this cause at this season is both appropriate and welcome.
I do want to say two things. First, we need to know the values vocabulary of our tradition. We use words too loosely. An act of hesed involves personal service and caring. An act of tzedakah is a charitable gift, not necessarily requiring personal involvement. Tikkun Olam, which may incorporate acts of both hesed and tzedakah, is an action that resolves or fixes a specific problem for an individual, for a group of people, or, we can aspire, for the world.
In response to the recent devastating earthquakes in Haiti and Chile we may do all three. Many of us are giving tzedakah, some of us performing acts of hesed by being able to be personally involved in healing and helping victims and others of us are directing our response to specific fixes like housing, medical care, or hunger - acts of tikkun olam.
Second, I want to remind you. Tikkun Olam isn't only about social action and social justice. Celebrating Shabbat is an act of tikkun olam, for it allows the world and our souls their restoration and peace. Separating meat and milk when we eat is an act of tikkun olam, for honoring life, nurtured by milk, and symbolically separated from death, it corrects for the indignities done to living beings. Repaying a debt, returning lost or borrowed property are acts of tikkun olam, for they restore to an owner what is rightfully his.
Like the palindrome with which I began, acts of tikkun olam strive to reverse what's wrong in the world of our experience. As I reminded my high school seniors in class, Judaism is inherently optimistic. That's why acts of tikkun olam are focused, specific actions in the whole of life's settings. They get things done. They make things better; and they are vital to the hopeful visions of Jewish tradition and the promises in life we strive to keep.

No Go for Glee at Thanksgiving Day Parade!
Looks like our favorite chorus members from 'Glee' have been dumped from Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year. While there is still speculation, TMZ reports that Macy's invited the FOX cast, but when rival NBC (who airs the parade) found out, they told the department store to pull the plug. TMZ reached out to a rep for FOX who declined to comment.
Do you actually watch parade's on TV? Just curious, I don't think it's as exciting as being there obviously so I've never been a big watcher of parades.
Comments...from Dina
Gary I don't watch parades on tv either, however I do watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade because ever since I was a small child its always been a tradition to watch the parade with my grandfather. He is gone now but I still watch the parade every year. I see your point about it not being the same as being there but Macy's just has a special spot.

Travis Garland - West Coast (Remix)
Last September, alt-R&B buzzmaker Travis Garland invited listeners to take a dip in the Motel Pool. Our readers happily obliged, awarding his debut feature a lofty 4.5-star average rating. The better part of a year later, the Texan crooner returns to take us on another journey—this time, to the sunny West Coast. Garland's rendition of Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence lead single trades the original's smoky instrumental backdrop for something a little sleeker. Over a moody synth/sample beat peppered with trap hi-hats, the artist offers a lyrically overhauled, but equally sultry take on Lana's original verses and hook. This remix isn't part of a larger project, but we'll keep you posted on Travis Garland's plans as we learn more.

- - a place in the swiss/french border? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/general-travel-forum/6512-place-swiss-french-border.html)
a place in the swiss/french border?
I am thinking of heading to the UK during the winter season for probably about 10 days. One of my goals is to go boarding, specifically at a resort that straddles around the swiss and french border. Possibly 2 or 3 nites. What do you recommend?
And would boarding a plane from the UK be a good idea..or should we just drive from the UK to the resort?
I have never been to the UK or France so I need some ideas. Doesn't have to be $$$$$$$$$$$ either. The closer to the UK, the better obviously.
What level of snowboarding are you and what do you prefer? Park, freeride, a lot of pistes?
The closest place is probably the 'Vosges' in France, very low mountains (the highest is I believe 1400m. You may know the 'Grand Ballon', Tour the France passes there almost every year.) Pistes are small, lifts are ok. Good area to learn. Crap if you're level is hihgher. You'll feel yourself limited.
IF you ride further south to the alps, you can go to alot of places. Chamonix is the best place for freeriding. Be sure to take a guide(!) and you'll not regret it.
For park: I heard alot off good things from Mayerhofen, Austria. Avoriaz is also pretty good for park minded riders who like a mountain too (check youtube vids from Avoriaz 'stash'). Avoriaz is part of the 'Portes du soleil'. Wich are basicly different resorts grouped togethers with lifts from one resort to another.
If you want a very big terrain check out 3 vallees in France. The total pistes lenght ia around 500-600km orso I believe. Very fast skilifts, skisure area, all types off pistes from beginner to high intermediate.
I`m pretty sure you'll find something comforming your needs.
PS: if you are in the higher part of the UK, possible some scandinavian snowboarding is possible too. But I`ve never been there ;)
as far as getting from the UK....flying is faster and cheaper! a drive down to the french - swiss border takes about 14 hours, if you drive none stop. longer if you go for the more affordable ferry boat crossing.... the train under the english channel costs more than many of the budget airlines that fly straight to geneva / lyon / grenoble.... many tour operators will arrange you cheap accommod in a range of standards etc and these will always include a bus transfer from the airport to the resort. they can of course sort your lift passes out too. last minute deals aren;t cheaper than booking well in advance however.
chamonix has something for everyone, so no matter how good you are or how much you like to wipe out, there is something to keep you entertained. it doesn't reallt straddle any border, even tho its about 90 minutes from the swiss airport.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
In addition to flow cytometry, hematopathological diagnostics often involve analysis of cytogenetics—the study of chromosome structure and function. Half of all patients with myelodysplastic syndromes have clonal cytogenetic abnormalities, and the International Prognostic Scoring System includes monitoring chromosome changes in bone marrow cells to assess patient prognosis.
To investigate the effectiveness of this technique, Ayesha Vawda, M.D., at the University of British Columbia and her colleagues at Vancouver General Hospital combed through patient records from the hospital's cytogenetic department database collected between 2011 and 2012.
Characteristic features of myelodysplastic syndromes are a reduction in the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets, called cytopenia, as well as abnormalities of cellular maturation and morphological abnormalities, called dysplasia. Dr. Vawda sought to investigate the utility of cytogenetics in cases where there was a clinical suspicion of myelodysplastic syndrome because of a reduction in one, two, or all three blood cell types, but there was no definitive evidence of dysplasia based on a bone marrow biopsy. Is performing cytogenetics of value in these cases?
The laboratory had performed cytogenetics in cases where the patient's bone marrow biopsy report warranted this additional test. Dr. Vawda and her collaborators analyzed 100 hospital records of suspected myelodysplastic syndrome cases, of which cytogenetics was successfully performed in 43 patient cases. Karyotyping identified unique banding patterns of metaphase chromosomes.
The researchers saw that abnormalities were only identified in two of the 43 karyotypic analyses: A 5q deletion in two of 75 metaphases from a unicytopenic patient with a reduction in one blood cell type, and a 9;19 translocation in all 20 metaphases in a pancytopenic patient with a reduction in all three blood cell lines.
Although patient management was ultimately not altered by these results, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) had been performed to confirm the presence of the deletion in the q arm of chromosome 5 for the unicytopenic patient. A locus-specific DNA probe for 5q31 (EGR1 gene) was used, along with a control probe specific to the p arm of chromosome 5.
FISH was not performed for the confirmation of the 9:19 translocation in the pancytopenic patient, as the abnormality was clearly evident cytogenetically. Dr. Vawda explains that FISH could also be performed based on this karyotype result if the specific probes were available. As opposed to looking for loss of a fluorescent signal in the setting of a chromosomal deletion, a translocation would be identified by a fusion signal of two probes that originated from different chromosomes.
"As only two abnormal karyotypes were reported, it appears that cytogenetics may be noncontributory to patient diagnosis and management in cases of suspected myelodysplastic syndrome with no morphological dysplasia, despite the presence of cytopenia," Dr. Vawda concludes. The team now hopes to validate these results in a larger cohort.
Dr. Vawda explains that while routine practices for cytogenetics may differ at other hospitals, Vancouver General Hospital is part of the public healthcare system, and the findings of this study will ultimately improve workload, turn-around time, and cost efficiency.
"Ideally, we would perform cytogenetics for all the patients who come through, but in a system with finite resources, we really need to decide if there is high yield or not for these procedures," she says.
Lisa Filipovich, M.D., studies hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and related immune disorders at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. HLH is commonly identified by phagocytosis of red and white blood cells, platelets, and their precursors. Dr. Filipovich runs a diagnostic lab for primary immune deficiency disorders, and she and her colleagues have developed specific assays for screening the genetic forms of HLH diagnosis, as well as to study the functional defects of these disorders.
The five subtypes of familial HLH are each associated with a specific gene, and Dr. Filipovich's team looks for evidence of specific intracellular, cytotoxic proteins as a screen for the genetic diagnosis of a patient. For example, one subtype of HLH is caused by a deficiency in perforin, a protein that aids other cytotoxic proteins like granzyme B in entering a target cell and setting off an apoptotic cascade.
Dr. Filipovich's diagnostic lab developed an assay to quantitate expression of intracellular perforin. This flow cytometry test for detecting perforin proved useful not only for rapid diagnosis, but also for screening potential family members to be donors for a bone marrow transplant, by separating carriers from unaffected individuals.
The researchers have since developed similar assays for two X-linked subtypes of HLH by quantifying levels of XLP1 and XLP2, respectively.
"Rather than waiting eight weeks for a genetic test, you will know in hours what the likelihood is that the patient is affected with HLH by using this flow cytometry assay," Dr. Filipovich says. "We have gone on to develop more tests of this kind so that we can focus on what are the likely genetic defects in our patients."
Another flow cytometry-based assay the lab has used is a degranulation assay. Natural killer (NK) cells contain cytotoxic granules within their cytoplasm as they develop, and these granules contain "killer" proteins like perforin and granzyme B. When NK cells are prepared to kill target cells, these granules are dragged to where the immunologic synapse is forming, so that the cytotoxic cell is in direct contact with the target cell. This then stimulates the release of granular components, and researchers have identified at least four proteins that are sequentially involved in opening the granules onto the external surface of the NK cell.
The degranulation assay indicates if any of these proteins are defective, by looking on the surface of NK cells for proteins that are normally found only on the inside of the granular membrane.
When the granules open, proteins like LAMP1 (CD107a), which are normally on the inner surface of granular membranes are now visible on the outside surface of the NK cells. The degranulation assay uses a monoclonal antibody to quantitate LAMP1 via flow cytometry. If there is an abnormal result, Dr. Filipovich and her colleagues will then sequence the four known genes involved in the degranulation pathway to identify which is the culprit. Therefore, this assay can point the researchers in the right direction by identifying that the patient's HLH disorder is related to deficiencies in the degranulation pathway, and not X-linked genes or perforin.
Dr. Filipovich explained that an alternative NK cytotoxic killing assay, which assesses the ability of cytotoxic cells to lyse chromium-labeled target cells, has many pitfalls: "Our lab has shifted to primarily using the degranulation assay because flow cytometry is much more quantitative and will lead you to the likely genetic defect. Unlike cytotoxic killing assays, the degranulation assay is not dependent on the number of NK cells in the sample," she says. "Moreover, the cytotoxic killing assay is susceptible to immunosuppressive drugs, which many patients are already receiving by the time the testing is planned."
Aside from using flow cytometry as a screening tool, Dr. Filipovich and her collaborators are developing an HLH-specific microarray chip to identify which of the seven known genetic defects might exist in a patient. On a global scale, gene microarray studies of HLH patients have also revealed that many genes involved with key pathways of innate, B cell and cytotoxic immunity are highly downregulated.

Although perhaps sometimes perceived as a peach's less-cool kid sister, apricots hold their own with a mild tartness, a fierce amount of both Vitamin A (good for the eyes) and beta-carotene (good for the heart), and a lower juiciness quotient than peaches (good for the environment-less napkins required for eating).
Depending on what source you choose to believe, apricots-just coming into season in the U.S. this month-are originally native to either China (not what you were expecting, eh?) or Armenia. These are two very different origins, but I guess things might become a little cloudy concerning a fruit whose existence predates both paper and steel; apricot seeds were once discovered while excavating a site dated as far back as the Copper Age (3500-2300 B.C.E.). After Alexander the Great (who I'm quickly coming to believe would make a killing today as a forager-see: saffron) introduced apricots to Greece after coming across the fruit in his travels in Armenia, apricot cultivation spread throughout Europe, and were considered in their dry form to be one of the most important commodities along the Persian trade routes.
APRICOT-WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES Recipe
While the U.S. has a plethora of well-known and accomplished chefs that home cooks everywhere turn to for tried-and-true recipes, I would like to submit for your consideration an Australian import who serves as my personal go-to: Donna Hay. Ever since I first came across Donna Hay, I fell in love with her straightforward, yet inspired cooking style instantly, and have since spent hours poring over her multitude of cookbooks. I have yet to find one of her recipes that doesn't make me want to race into the kitchen. In addition to her cookbooks (which all include stunning photography-a plus for me since I have a need to see pictures with recipes), Hay has a bi-monthly magazine (that you can subscribe to from the U.S.) and a website featuring many of her recipes.
While looking for a way to feature apricots in a dessert, I came across this recipe for apricot cookies with coconut and almonds, and decided to add in white chocolate chips for some extra pizzazz-I find chocolate-less cookies to be somewhat sacrilegious. After overloading them with ingredients, I re-dubbed these "cookies with lots of things in them," since that was what I found to be the easier way to describe them to coworkers. The dried apricots in these cookies keep them from being too sweet while adding something unique not found in your everyday, run-of-the-mill cookie. Plus, you can always pretend that the addition of fruit makes these "healthy."
From Donna Hay

APRICOT-MUSTARD CHICKEN Recipe
I will go ahead and say that this is one of my favorite dishes I have made to date for this column. I wanted to make a chicken dish with apricots that would prove to be quick, easy, and not too sweet, yet one that featured fresh apricots as opposed to dried. The use of mustard in this recipe cuts the fruit flavor, while the fresh apricots become tender and lend a fresh quality to the dish that might otherwise be lacking if you just used preserves. The end result felt warm, comforting, and summery all at the same time.
Makes 2 Servings
- 1 cup flaked almonds
- 1 cup self-raising flour(note: neither Whole Foods nor Trader Joe's sold this, but my local Morton Williams did)
- 1 cup dried, shaved coconut
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/2 cup and 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grainy Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup and 1 tbsp natural apricot preserves
- 2 chicken breasts, chopped into 1-2 in. pieces
- 1 tsp thyme
- 3 fresh apricots, chopped
To Make Cookies:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Mix flour, sugar, almonds, coconut, and apricot in a bowl. Slowly add egg and butter, followed by white chocolate chips, and mix until the ingredients are well combined. If you find the batter will not stick together, try adding a touch more of egg or melted butter.
2. Form 2-3 tablespoons of dough into flat rounds and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. The recipe calls for 8-10 minutes of baking, but I found my cookies needed 15-20 minutes. When fully baked, bottoms should be golden brown-and as the recipe specifies, look to the bottom of the cookie and not the top to avoid over-baking.
To Make Chicken:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, preserves and garlic. Sprinkle pieces of chicken liberally with salt and the thyme, and then coat them with all but 3 tablespoons of the mustard and preserves mixture.
2. Coat the bottom of a non-stick pan with olive oil, and over medium heat cook the coated chicken pieces until just barely cooked through, about 4 minutes a side. Remove the chicken, leaving any of the liquid in the pan.
3. Add one more tablespoon of preserves to the mustard mixture, and add the remains of the mixture, along with the fresh apricots to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, before returning the chicken to the pan as well. Cook the apricots and chicken together for about 5 minutes on low heat, until the apricots are tender.

A construction crew struck a natural gas line in an Overland Park neighborhood early Monday, but no evacuations were ordered.
The crew was working in an area near 91st and Farley streets when they ruptured a 6-inch gas line.
Gas company crews came to repair the damage.
Officials said there was no immediate danger to the public, but police were keeping cars away from the scene.
No injuries were reported.

- The Oil like the tall and a bit lanky America Dmen, ala Gilbert/Whitney variety, so Merril is in the mix. Merril's offensive numbers (pts/g) is a little lower then the others, but he plays only a small number of games in the USA U-18 system and will have three years (most likely) to work on this at University of Michagin (another place the Oilers like to have their prospects).
- Nemeth has some interesting things going for him: a) he is not Russia, like the other two Euro Skaters I have singled out, b) his Junior numbers are great (0.526 pts) and he has more consistency playing then men then Marchenko, c) he is big (6'3" 201 lbs), but also has a mean streak (120 PiMs), strange for a Euro.
- The two Russians have a real possibility of falling to the Nashville 2nd round pick that we got for the Acid Eater. Neither of them will ever be as good as him: yes, I said that and I will stand by that. Zatyev does interest me though (and I mean that I am really interested): seriously, why is this kid playing 40 games against men with only one point. He must bring something to the table, and I want to see what this is: maybe a shutdown defender???
The Second Round Pick

In the late second or early third, I'm a big fan of the Slovak Dman Martin Marincin.

Coach, I was looking at the North American ranked skaters from 20-35 and Euro Skaters ranked above 10 over all. So, Martin Marincin was an oversight: with him being ranked on position below Nemeth at exactly 10. Your right he should be on this list.
6'4" 187 lbs.
Team Slovakia U-20: 24GP, 2G, 3A, 5pts, 30PIM (0.208 Pts/G)
World Juniors: 6G, 2A, 6PiM
Personally I would be shocked to see either of Marincin or Nemeth fall into the third. Both are over 6'3" (but Nemeth is 14ish pounds heavier), and the same age (they are born 10 days apart). While Marincin played at this years world junior and Nemeth didn't, Marincin plays on the national team and has less competition for that spot due to the fact Slovakia is a weaker team then Sweden. I remember liking Marincin at the worlds, but the fact that Nemeth played 16 games in the second Swedish league (against men) but him over the top for me. Overall, either if either of these young men are at that Nashville pick, I think the Oilers should grap them.

Without a doubt. Both of them are already very smooth skaters, though Marincin needs to bulk up with about 30 pounds, so who knows how he'll look much heavier.

The recent shooting tragedies have once again begun the call for stricter gun control laws, which I support.
The Founding Fathers of this nation and the writers of the Constitution could not have envisioned what the world of guns would be like in the 20th and 21st centuries. In the 1700s, guns were needed for protection and food. As many of us have read, the colonists were required, as part of the militia, to have their own guns. So, yes, citizens of that time were given the right to "keep and bear arms."
The Constitution is a living document that has been, and continues to be, amended when necessary. It's time to seriously address the Second Amendment of the Constitution in light of 21st-century realities.
It's also time to force our representatives in Congress to seriously address the issue of the proliferation of guns - from handguns to automatic weapons - and to put the National Rifle Association out of the lobbying picture. Newspapers around the country should publish the names of each member of Congress who receives any benefit from the NRA and the dollar value of that benefit. Maybe by publicly shaming our legislators they will turn their backs on the NRA and do what's right for this country and future generations.

Baby Fairs: Are They Worth Attending?steveecurtis
This past weekend, I went to a Baby Fair here in Nashville. Every year, the hospital where I delivered Joleen, and where I plan to deliver this baby, hosts this event. I actually went two years ago when I was pregnant with Joleen, and decided that it was worth my time to go again this year.
So, what is a Baby Fair? Chances are, your city (or a city near you) hosts an annual Baby Fair, or an event that is very similar. Baby Fairs are an event that you can go and learn about all things baby. Here in Nashville, local baby boutiques, maternity stores, furniture stores, photographers, pediatricians, lactation consultants, pediatric dentists, and even cord blood specialists set up booths handing out freebies and information to expecting parents.
Baby Fairs are also an event where they have demonstrations like, how to properly put your baby in a car seat, and how to use a breast pumps. Here in Nashville, they even have a mini Baby Boot Camp where you can learn things like how to swaddle, how to change a diaper, and even how to perform infant CPR. Also, if your Baby Fair is like ours and takes place in a hospital, you can actually take a tour and see delivery rooms, recovery rooms, family waiting rooms, recovery rooms, and even the baby nursery. They even show you where you'll park and check-in when you go into labor so you feel totally prepared for when the big day arrives.
This time around, I didn't feel like I learned as much as the first time I attended, but I was also a first-time parent then, and I didn't know much. However, it was nice to get a few refresher lessons, and to pick up some freebies. I even talked to a pediatric dentist that I liked, and scheduled an appointment for Joleen to get her first check-up! So all-in-all, I would say if you have a Baby Fair in your area, I would definitely make it a priority to try and attend!
Litte missy loved being pushed around in her Chicco Liteway Stroller!
