In homes, churches and coffee shops around the country, meetings mostly made up of millions of Democratic volunteers from the presidential campaign, are designed to rally support for President Barack Obama's plan to overhaul health care.
"The status quo is broken. We cannot continue this way," Obama said. "If we do nothing, everyone's health care will be put in jeopardy."
After first leaving the specifics to be spelled out by lawmakers on Capitol Hill, the president is now wading into the debate front and center-- pusing for an optional government-run health plan.
"The availability of a public option alongside private options for people who need health care is a positive thing," said Senior White House Advisor David Axelrod.
But that's not how some Republicans see it.
"[It's] a government takeover of health care," claimed GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell.
Republican Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama added that "it will be the first steps in destroying the best health care system the world has ever known."
The private sector is also skeptical. Many are fearful that a government-run insurance program would compete directly with private insurance companies.
They're also against a proposal that would require most employers to provide health insurance to workers or pay a penalty. And then there's figuring out how to pay for the cost of expanding coverage-- which could total well over a $1 trillion.
"The White House wants to address access affordability and quality of service, and it's almost impossible to do all that at once," explained Stuart Rothenberg of the Rothenberg Political Report.
President Obama wants Congress to consider more taxes on richer Americans as a way to pay for the overhaul, rather than taxing employer-provided health insurance benefits. But reportedly, that idea is still on the table even though Obama spent millions to criticize Sen. John McCain when he pitched the idea last fall during the campaign.
Obama wants lawmakers to pass a bipartisan bill by the end of the summer, but his involvement and push for a government-run plan could mean the Democratic-controlled House could pass legislation with little or no Republican support.

Computer crash
April 25, 2012 - Harry Eagar
We are often told that the science behind global warming is settled and that computer simulations demonstate the bad stuff that will shortly befall us.
As soon as anyone cites "computer simulations," I start doubting. For many reasons. One, and this is merely stating the obvious, though I bet you have never heard it before, is that to simulate something on a computer, you have to thoroughly understand it.
Some things are probably beyond thorough understanding, and climate and economics are two of them. Both have proven highly resistant to successful computer simulation.
An interesting example of betting the farm on a computer simulation and failing spectacularly is the Defense Department's hypersonic airplane, a test bed of which crashed in the ocean not long ago. Flying magazine has a report on DARPA's analysis of what went wrong:
"According to DARPA's report, ground testing and thermal modeling that dictated the vehicle's skin structure needs was completed based on extrapolations from known flight characteristics, and ultimately proved unable to 'successfully predict the harsh realities of Mach 20 atmospheric flight.'
'Those harsh realities took their toll on HTV-2's aeroshell as the vehicle traveled around the 13,000 mph mark, creating gaps in the vehicle's surface that triggered impulsive shock waves around the 13,000 mph mark, approximately 9 minutes after the vehicle successfully separated from a rocket in the upper atmosphere.' "
The really harsh reality is that computer modeling responds to GIGO, and worse than that, some systems may be inherently impossible to emulate.
I was talking with son about that this morning, and that will be the subject of the next post.

I can answer this possibly better then anyone...
I went primal on April 5, 2010. I had acne at the time and wanted to do an acne primal experiment. I had an acne blog at the time so this was a fantastic idea. My skin started to clear up more and more and by the summer it was just about gone. I then started to binge eat on junk food and was not fully primal for the last few months of 2010 and into January of this year.
I just completed a 30 day paleo challenge about 5 days ago. Everything went great. My skin wasnt "great" during the first 3 weeks and then started to clear up little by little. It is now just about back to where it should be - perfectly clear. I get the occasional teeny tiny whitehead.
I have 6 years experience with acne. I have learned that diet plays a massive role but one must manage stress, get adequate sunlight, sleep, etc. Basically one must follow the 10 laws of the primal blueprint (weird how it is just about the "cure" for everything). I personally believe that managing stress is way more important then most people think.
Continue eating the way you are eating and remember that diet along with stress are the biggest factors. Sleep, play, sunlight will help manage stress.
Also, your body is probably going through a "detox" and acne is a way of your body getting rid of toxins. Be patient - it should go away very soon.


text: Henry Fielding is remembered as one of the founders of the English novel, for works such as Tom Jones and Joseph Andrews. He was also a prolific writer of satirical plays. Born in 1707, the educated son of a gentleman, Fielding had to give up his university studies in order to earn a living. Over the next few years he wrote 25 comic plays which satirised the government, society and artistic pretension. He also became co-manager of the unlicensed Haymarket Theatre which was known as a venue for unconventional pieces. The Prime Minister of the day, Robert Walpole, became so enraged with Fielding that in 1737 he introduced censorship by the Lord Chamberlain and Fielding was forced to find another career. Fielding trained as a barrister but began writing novels. As with his plays, his writing was comic, but its criticism of society and human arrogance had a serious purpose. He was not again involved in play production until 1748 when he briefly ran a puppet theatre which satirised public figures.

The University of Hawaii men's basketball team will face Pittsburgh on Nov. 21 at War Memorial Gym, UH announced Tuesday in releasing its 2014-15 schedule.
A tipoff time and information on ticket sales are to be announced later.

Last season, Pittsburgh finished 26-10 and lost its second game at the NCAA tournament.
The Panthers also will participate in the EA Sports Maui Invitational, Nov. 24-26 at the Lahaina Civic Center.
The Rainbow Warriors, who are coached by Gib Arnold, finished 20-11 last season.

In the summer of 1991, a serial killer stalked Los Angeles, strangling women with their bras. LAPD detectives had never heard of a transatlantic serial killer, so they didn't make a connection with the bodies turning up in the woods outside of Vienna, Austria.
While the LAPD braced for the killer to strike again, detectives in Vienna ran into a series of dead ends. In the intense press coverage of the murders, one reporter - the flamboyant writer and freelance journalist Jack Unterweger - distinguished himself for his hard-hitting radio and newspaper stories on the phantom-like killer.
Despite months of investigation, the police failed to find a suspect. That was until they began to consider a tip that at first seemed too far-fetched to be true: that the "Vienna Woods Killer" was Jack Unterweger himself.

I recently attended a conference for my continuing education and one of the topics was "Universal Cholesterol Screening in Children." While adults have known the importance of healthy cholesterol levels for a long time, there's more and more data to validate the need for children to have their cholesterol levels monitored as well.
The current guidelines from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which are also endorsed by the American Association of Pediatrics, recommend that all children, regardless of family history, have either a non-fasting total cholesterol and HDL level or a fasting lipid panel performed between the ages of 9 and 11, and again between ages 17 and 21. Again, these are screening tests only.
The recommendations previously supported screening cholesterol levels for children with a family history of elevated cholesterol levels, or those with familial risk factors for coronary artery disease. Knowing that coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and also realizing that coronary artery disease really begins in childhood, modifying risk factors in childhood will hopefully lead to a reduction in coronary artery disease later in life. One risk factor is elevated cholesterol levels.
What is a healthy cholesterol level for a child? A non-fasting lipid panel should look at total cholesterol minus the HDL cholesterol, which gives a non-HDL cholesterol total. The current guidelines recommend that the non-HDL cholesterol should be 145mg/dl and the HDL should be 40 mg/dl. If a fasting lipid panel is used, the LDL should be 130 mg/dl, HDL 40 mg/dl and non-HDL cholesterol 145 mg/dl, as well.
The guidelines also state that if the cholesterol is abnormal, a repeat screen should be done two weeks to three months after the first screening, and the results should be averaged before deciding on further investigation or treatment.
Additionally, there are risk factors such as a history of obesity, high blood pressure, smoking, a history of Kawasaki disease and a family history of early coronary artery disease or sudden cardiac death which should also be considered in the context of evaluating a child's cholesterol.
Knowing your child's cholesterol should help parents engage in diet and lifestyle changes for the entire family. If you know that your child already has a slightly elevated cholesterol, work on dietary changes at home. Try limiting your children's fat to 25 percent to 30 percent of total calories, and limit saturated fat to 8 percent to 10 percent of calories, as well as avoiding trans fat. Encourage high fiber foods and make sure your child's daily diet includes a colorful mix of fruits and vegetables.
Lastly, to help lower cholesterol, encourage your whole family to exercise. This is a prescription we doctors should be writing routinely.

Pregnancy seems to agree with mommy-to-be Julianna Margulies. Looking gorgeous in a short, camel hair coat that showed off her ever-growing belly, the former E.R. star told PEOPLE she's "doing great" at Wednesday's Cinema Society premiere of Sidney Lumet's Before the Devil Knows You're Dead in New York City.
Even with the small bump under her coat, the Canterbury's Law star looked otherwise svelte, prompting one attendee to ask if she was pregnant. "I hope so, because if not, then I've just put on a lot of weight!" she joked.
The baby, which is her first, is due in "mid-January," says Margulies, who turned 41 in June.
She attended the premiere with her fiancé, Keith Lieberthal, and spent time chatting with Frasier star Bebe Neuwirth and designer Cynthia Rowley.

Loving people more than appearances
(Photos from yesterday are posted now.)
Sometimes just a few moments can capture the spirit and heart of a whole event. It happened tonight.
There is a little girl–let's call her Dara–here at the Minnesota Joni and Friends Family Retreat. Dara doesn't speak and often is biting or chewing on something. She is captivated by music, so much so that her parents bring musical toys and even a keyboard to fill her time happily.
Tonight there was a hymn sing. Dara's family sat on the front row. Dara stood next to the stage the whole time. She expressed her excitement and pleasure with shrieks that would have sounded like distress or sudden, extreme pain if you didn't know better.
After the closing prayer, the worship band played as people stood and moved toward the door. Through tears I filmed what happened.
I thank God for Tom and Wendy and their loving Dara more than they love ending the evening on a perfect musical note.

The PeC Review: Magento User Guide eBook
Magento Commerce is becoming one of the most popular and, perhaps, most exciting ecommerce platforms available. But with all of its online retailing prowess comes some level of complexity that at least a few merchants find daunting. A new ebook seeks to make using this powerful ecommerce platform easier to understand.
With advanced, built-in features like product reviews, product image zooming and panning, wish lists, price and inventory alerts, customer and sales management, sales tax rules, dynamic shipping options, and more, Magento Commerce has attracted in excess of 750,000 downloads, garnered an excellent reputation, and, one imagines, has heard at least some complaints that the platform can be hard to implement or understand.
To help these would-be-Magento users who find using the platform daunting, Varien, Magneto Commerce's developer, has released a 222-page user guide ebook, explaining many of the platform's set up and maintenance steps in some detail.
Our Purpose in Reviewing this eBook
Each week, "The PeC Review" looks at products (including ebooks) or services that could help an online merchant improve his or her business. Our goal is to both identify and then rate these products or services, providing you with some good decision-making information. This week, I purchased and downloaded Varien's The Official Magento User Guide, flipped through the virtual pages, and found a great resource for novice users, earning this ebook four out of a possible five stars in this "The PeC Review."
Video: A Quick Look at What's Inside The Official Magento User Guide
Step-By-Step Instructions
Aimed at a non-technical audience The Official Magento User Guide offers storeowners—even those completely new to Magento Commerce—an overview of the platform and provides somewhat detailed step-by-step instructions.
As an example, the guide invests 50 pages in a detailed explanation of how to set up a catalog, seeming to cover every possible detail with text, pointers, and graphics. In fact, having already worked with Magento, I found some of the detail tedious, but for a first time user the content provides a level and exactness that I have not seen in similar documents.
The guide also walks a Magento user through every step of installing the platform (a stumbling block for some) in enough detail that I am pretty sure my 88-year-old dad—who can barely check email—could manage to get an instance of Magento up and running on a server.
A Clear Purpose and Description
The guide also does a very good job—and this was no surprise—of selling Magento's value proposition. The first 50 or so virtual pages are devoted to explaining what Magento is and what features its front and back ends offer. This overview was helpful, and even reminded me of a couple of features that I had overlooked.
Next Time Make Videos
As good as the guide is, I would like to see a companion video tutorial series. Magento could sell it for $99.00, and offer the guide free.
Bottom Line
The Official Magento User Guide is a terrific resource for anyone wanting to get familiar with this excellent ecommerce platform, earning it four out of five stars in my review.

Nice, especially on the day that Magento releases version 184.108.40.206. I wish I would have had this earlier then I might not have migrated my store to Prestashop.
It was just taking way too long to do the simplest things. I'm definitely going to be downloading this.
I bought this book, as well as William Rice's book on Magento. I found both drastically lacking in in-depth information on how to configure Magento. These books are good at presenting a very basic overview on how Magento works, but if you really want to customize your store – and particularly if you want to create multiple stores within a hierarchy – neither book delivers.
Most of what I've learned about configuring Magento has come from the forum postings and other resources. These books have become doorstops for me.
@AmericanDictation by configure you mean…?
@Armando Roggio:
From the Magento promotion copy for the book: "our User Guide empowers our ever-widening customer to utilize the platform for all of its vast capacity."
On pg 14, the book states it doesn't cover the very items I bought the book to help me with: multiple web sites/stores/views, custom themes and skins. While Page 149 covers changing Transactional E-mails, it should have included a table showing all the various e-mails and templates that needed revision (revising these is actually a very labor-intensive operation, made only palatable by another user who contributed a SQL script to change these in the database). When replacing the product image placeholders, no mention is made as to what the sizes should be.
I don't think these shortcomings fulfill the promotional promise to "utilize the platform for ALL (my emphasis) of its vast capacity."
And while these omissions would be tolerable if the on-line help worked, most times when clicking the "Help for this Section" link, it resolves to a Missing Page error at the Magento Web site.
Understand, after evaluating many, many solutions, I still think Magento represents the best solution of the open source solutions available today. I am disappointed that the configuration is more complex than it has to be and that documentation is sorely insufficient.
My humble suggestion would be that the promotion of the book clearly state that it is a "Beginner's Guide." It is certainly not a complete guide to Magento (which, I will state again, is an amazing open source product).
@American Dictation
I can certainly see why you are upset. And were I in your place, I would probably feel the same way.
Having given the guide a very positive rating (and I am still recommending it), I feel the need to explain. I did not have your expectation. Simply, I don't expect a users guide to include information about template configuration or even template location. That sounds more like a developers guide to me. But I can see why you feel the way you do.
If you are still having issues with the email templates or replacing the default product images, I may be able to help. I have done both without issue.
Thanks for reading.
@Armando Roggio
Thanks for the feedback, and the offer to help. I've solved both already.
You're right in labeling this solely a User's Guide, and if so intended for the store owner alone, then the book does a pretty good job (although I still feel many of the areas were only briefly explained). However, if this book is only intended for store owners and not developers, why include an installation section? Surely, most store owners can't safely manage the installation of a such a solution on a server.
I suppose my mistake was assuming that the "user" of a platform is a developer, not the store owner.
The book, for me, should be either a Store Owner's Guide or a Developer's Guide, or both. Unfortunately, it is neither to the fullest extent. It was helpful in learning more about attributes, product pricing, etc., but many of the configuration functions I had to do, I had to learn through laboriously searching through the forums and postings.
(BTW, when you do search the Magento Forums, the results all show the same promotional copy as the "snippet" under the article heading, instead of the lead paragraph or relevant copy relating to the search.)
With a purported 500,000 downloads, I suppose I expected that someone would have by now produced a weighty tome (comparable to Dreamweaver CS4 Bible and the ilk) that would give developer and user alike everything necessary to maximize Magento. Your reviewed book is certainly billed as such on their Web site.
Thanks again for the frank and friendly discussion. The book does have its place, I suppose; it's just not the place I needed most.
One final comment: the book is very well laid out and easy to read, which is unlike many technical books. I did appreciate the way it was designed, and for those tired of eye strain, this book is a welcomed relief. It also does a great job at demonstrating the most powerful features of this platform. For those contemplating Magento as a solution, it's worth the price just to better understand what this platform can do at the store front level.
I have to comment that the only positive thing I can say about the "Official Magento User Guide" is that it saves the tortuous experience of trying to find and view the online documentation. There is nothing in the book that you can´t find on the Magento site, and sadly a lot of the information is 'lacking' in both places, or features are not even covered. You'd expect that importing and exporting products using a spreadsheet would be essential reading for anyone wishing to run a shop with more than a few score products. Well good luck, your best bet is the forum and input from other users, magento seems reticent to deliver this information. Which is crazy, as the dataflow feature, although not perfect, is very powerful once you get the hang of it.
This is the tragedy of the situation, Magento is a fantastic application which deserves all the hype, but you have to be very experienced in this kind of thing, (and by that I don't mean a PHP/SQL developer although it helps), just an advanced computer user who builds and administers websites. You also need to be clairvoyant, as neither this official manual nor the official documentation website are going to answer many of your most basic questions. As a previous person commented, the manual refers you to the website, and a pretty empty wiki. In fact the end of the story, so to speak, is that if you need to know anything else go to their website, ask on the forum – where for the most part it is the blind leading the blind, Magento themselves are not offering much assistance.
The Official Manual is in my opinion simply a funnel through which frustrated but keen users will finally wind up paying Magento for support, it's a neat trick. Pay 19 dollars for information which is pretty much identical to that available for free from their site, you wind up no better off than you were before, and unless you have great resolve, you're going to put your hand in your pocket for official support or give up on it all together.
Conclusion, the manual is like a thriller just when it starts to get interesting it has a missing page, or even a chapter. Quite literally a waste of money. I think the 3rd party offerings are going to have much more going for them, I have also read and used "Grow with Magento", it covers the importing of data from spreadsheets and much more not covered in the official manual, and although still a work in progress it is considerably more complete than the official guide, and the good news is that when finished, which can't be far away now, there shouldn't be any missing pages. Google "Grow with Magento".
I just read through portions of "Grow with Magento," as well, and this was much more the type of guide I was looking for when I wasted $$ on the Official Magento Guide and Rice's book. Sure, it's not a polished layout and such, but I'm using it now to go through and review all the configurations I suffered through before to make sure I'm not missing anything.
My advice is: if you're going to buy one book, consider "Grow with Magento." It's a PDF book (fortunately I can print 2-sided to save paper) will serve me as a desk-side reference. Still needs some fleshing out of the Multiple Store set-up section, I think, to be perfectly clear (in fact, I would recommend that this be discussed more in the beginning as one begins to plan for installation), but at least NOW I have some information with which to work!
Kudos to James Ballotti, the author.
I can appreciate needing descriptions for all the functionality of the back end. The installation guide is very handy.
But this is my primary frustration with Magento (much like American Dictation): there is a great need for developer/designer documentation. Even just give me a cheat sheet of codes for the different templates/modules and I'll be happy.
Magento is awesome, but I feel like its power is trapped in that I do not know it's basic code.
Update: Dropped $25 on James Balotti's "Grow With Magento" ( http://ipicpublishing.com/magento/index.php/grow-with-magento/grow-with-magento.html ) and it has been much more helpful than the official guide. Particularly with concepts regarding the content management system and design elements.
Also, if you're confused about Magento's structure, use the Firefox ad-on "Firebug". The element inspector is a lifesaver when trying to understand Magento's CMS.
@Jared Brickman,
Have you tried turning on [template hints](http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/1037-Web-Design-Tips-Configuring-Templates-Adding-a-Product-Grid-in-Magento-)? I found it to be a much better way to understand the CMS than either Mr. Ballotti's book, which is really for novices, or Firebug.

At closing time for Duncan Plaza, the Occupy NOLA encampment remained in place Friday night, despite Mayor Mitch Landrieu's request for them to clear out. As the 10:30 p.m. park closure time approached, there was little sign that police would take action to physically disband the encampment Friday.
About 40 people gathered around a square in the center of the plaza as a pair of legal advisers explained possible ramifications that the group may face going forward. They include such charges a disturbing the peace, trespass or resisting arrest, attorney Miles Swanson told them.
Swanson told the protesters assembled that he and others are working on a legal package that includes seeking a temporary restraining order against the city aiming to block any eviction from the park.
Throughout the plaza, dozens of others milled about, much like any other night since the park was occupied in late October.
An occasion police cruiser drove by on routine patrol on nearby streets, but there did not appear to be a contingent of officers, either uniformed or plain-clothed, in the plaza.
The general consensus among those remaining was there would be no eviction Friday, but it would be in the near future.
Shortly after 10 p.m. protesters passed around a microphone discussing whether they should tweak a contingency plan that would come into play when police take action and in the days after.

Fixed PriceBudget: $1,000
Start DateJune 18, 2013
1. Skype connect project for Chile and México
We need to have a call center system implemented using skype connect.
Who we are:
We are a small online marketing agency based in Chile that does business with Chile, México, Colombia and Perú.
Current situation and challenges for Chile and México:
Currently all our communication is done using skype. We have several skype numbers for Chile and México that are linked to all our representatives' skype accounts on their computers in Chile.
The problem we have at the moment is that the majority of the phone calls we receive come from one of the skype numbers we in each country. Thus, if that representative is on the phone with a customer, we are losing the other phone calls we receive. We are aware that you can transfers the phone call, however we run into trouble again if the representative is on the phone.
We have a total of 6 representatives that could take some of the incoming calls.
What we need
We need a call center type of system that allows us to leave people waiting in line while one of our representatives gets available to take the call. Also be able to redirect phone calls internally. All this must be done using skype. As far as I know we need a SIP-enabled PBX.
2. Improve calls' quality for Peru and Colombia
We have purchased local phone numbers in Peru and Colombia that get forwarded to our numbers in Chile. Unfortunately skype doesn't sell numbers in these two countries so we got the numbers through a forwarding company (http://www.tollfreeforwarding.com/)
All the outbound calls to Colombia and Peru are done using skype and with are pretty happy with the quality of the calls. However, the inbound calls are the ones we a have a problem with. The quality of these calls is really bad.
Additionally, when we have a missed call, we can't see the phone number we are getting the call from and therefore we lose that important information.

Suzanne DeJohn
I've been gardening and writing about gardening for more than 20 years, yet I find I'm always learning new things about the plants, insects and other critters that call my backyard home. That's the great thing about gardening — it's never boring! I've worked as a landscaper, on an organic farm, as a research technician in a plant pathology lab and ran a small cut-flower business, all of which inform my garden writing. A few years ago my husband and I purchased a beautiful old Victorian house and opened a pet-friendly B&B; I've spent the last few summers renovating garden beds and adding new ones. My husband once asked me when I'll be finished, to which I replied, "Never!" For me, gardening is a process, not a goal.
Kathy LaLiberté
As a founding employee of Gardener's Supply, I wore many different hats over the years. Currently, I have my own company called Johnnie Brook Creative. The gardens around my home in Richmond, VT, include a large vegetable garden, seasonal greenhouse, cutting garden, perennial gardens, rock garden, shade garden, berry plantings, lots of container plants and a meadow garden. There's no place I'd rather be than in the garden.
David Grist
When I started working at Gardener's Supply in the 1990s, my Vermont backyard was pretty green—with grass. Today, there's just a tiny bit of the original lawn left. Most of the available space has given way to trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and stonework. Watch a slideshow of my garden in Burlington, VT.
In addition to my work at Gardener's Supply, I work in the gardening division at Church Hill Landscapes. In that role, I maintain dozens of gardens and learn a lot in the process. I believe that all gardening is good gardening.
Ann Whitman
In my tenure at Gardener's Supply, I've been staff horticulturist, retail nursery supervisor, and product information specialist. For a natural teacher, avid gardener and plant geek, my work here is a perfect fit.
Twenty-five years ago, the yard around our old farmhouse was a blank canvas of lawn waiting to be planned and planted. The native shrub and tree borders I planted back then now shelter and feed scores of songbirds. Our fertile soil supports productive vegetable gardens and flowering perennial beds. I've also added fruit and nut trees, blueberries, raspberries and elderberries that feed my family and visiting wildlife. Fussing with chickens and tropical houseplants keep me occupied during the long New England winters. My education is in horticulture and landscape design, and I've authored four gardening books.
Jennifer Prince
I came to gardening as a way to have more control over my food. I was gardening out of a 1986 Chevy van. As I traveled the country selling my photography at juried art fairs, I struggled to find the same quality of vegetables that I had grown up eating out of our family garden. Moving from state to state, I would sun my plants at campgrounds and fetch them water in truckstop bathrooms. I can't boast about a lot of success, but my experience inspired me to head home to Vermont and put down some more permanent roots.
Today, I have an awesome, ever-changing, experiment-friendly garden and greenhouse in the Lake Champlain Islands. My greatest pleasure comes from saving seeds and learning about vegetable breeding. I love keeping chickens and bees, tending fruit trees, and, most of all, eating, eating, eating! I share my simple plant-based recipes at EatLikeAFarmGirl.com.
At Gardener's Supply, I am the Creative Gardener, meaning that the gardens I manage are used for catalog photo shoots and blog posts. This is a perfect fit for me because I get to work with our photographer and photo stylist (Geoff Fosbrook and Lizzy Williams) who speak a language I understand. What's more, I get to be a total garden geek, swimming in a friendly sea with other garden geeks. It's pretty exciting.

I was a champion weeder as a kid, but otherwise a fairly novice gardener when I joined Gardener's Supply back in 1988. Gardener's Supply was a fairly novice company too. Well, both Gardener's Supply and my love of gardening have grown more and more each year. At home we grow some of everything, everywhere. Each summer we buy shares at a local CSA (membership farm) so I am free to experiment at home, growing unusual heirloom tomatoes, hot peppers, fruits and berries. Our flower beds are fairly spontaneous and undisciplined, but they somehow seem to keep us in color and fragrance throughout the garden season.
As company president, I also have a hand in selecting and developing new products. I say it is hard work, but the truth is that it is lots of fun. And I get to help support all the good that gardening and gardeners are accomplishing around the country, through involvement with various nonprofit organizations. Nothing is better than making a living doing what you love.

I love gardening and my absolute favorite plants to grow are fragrant white roses, lavender, yellow Brandywine tomatoes and lime basil. I come by the love of gardening honestly — my father and grandfather introduced me to the joy of a backyard family plot at an early age. I've been gardening ever since, from city apartments to the country backyard we have now. In 2002, I got a Master Gardening certificate.
I feed my passion for gardening with some of the programs that show how gardens can change people and communities. I'm on the Board of the American Community Gardening Association and work closely with the Green Education Foundation. Regionally, I work on gardens at the Committee on Temporary Shelter (our local homeless-advocacy organization), and with the Friends of Burlington Gardens.

I think I have gardening in my blood. My Italian grandparents gardened and made wine in the Roman countryside. Summertime memories from my childhood include plates heaped with just-picked figs and peaches so juicy they'd drip all down my arm. My Nonno was so proud of his roses — if we didn't smell them, he said they might as well not exist. My Nonna loved their cherry tree that looked "like a bride" when in full bloom.
Gardening has continued to be a family activity for me. My kids think it's fun to pick spinach leaves right out of the ground for a quick snack — the same spinach they won't eat at the dinner table. Earthworms from the compost pile have been given names.
I've worked in the gardening industry since 1998, and feel lucky to be Product Testing and Coordinator for Gardener's Supply. I test products in our company's beautiful backyard, and truly enjoy working with fellow gardeners around the country, from a rooftop garden in New York City to the desert-like climate in Arizona. I think gardening really brings people together.

Q: I heard the county has an Immigrant Services Office. Is that the same thing as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services? Where are they located?
A: No, the county office provides distinctly separate functions from the federal program. There are four locations of the county's Immigrant Services Division: One Main Plaza, Suite 547 (2200 Main St., Wailuku); Moore Center on Molokai (2 Kamoi St., Kaunakakai); Lanai Community Center (Eighth Street, Lanai City) and a satellite office that opens every Thursday in Lahaina (West Maui Senior Center, 788 Pauoa St.). While the county's Immigrant Services Division does not provide legal representation or adjudicate citizenship cases, staff members provide free assistance to immigrants, nonimmigrants, migrants and citizens in three main areas: citizenship, employment eligibility and family-based petitions. Referrals to translators and interpreters may be provided, and if an immigrant is a victim of domestic violence or other crimes, he or she may be able to receive help. Staff also can assist with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which is a program started by President Barack Obama to assist undocumented young people who arrived in the United States as children. To see a full listing of office days/hours and services, visit www.mauicounty.gov/immigrantservices and click on "Summary of Services." The Wailuku office can be reached at 270-7791.
Q: I took my mother, who is in her 80s, to the Senior Fair this year at War Memorial Gym. We both enjoyed the event, but noticed that it was sweltering inside the gym. Are there any plans to install air conditioning in the gym?
A: Depending on the time of year, it can get rather steamy in the gym when it is crowded during a special event such as the Senior Fair. However, on most days when it is being used for basketball and other gymnasium activities, the louvers' natural ventilation does the trick. Those louvers, which are old and do not close tightly, also make it costly to adequately seal the windows for air conditioning. However, we have just begun to discuss master planning for a new sports and/or aquatics civic center for Central Maui, and air conditioning the new gym will definitely be considered.
Q: My aunty works for the county, and she told me about the newsletter that is published for county employees. Is there a way that the public can read the newsletter too? My niece was featured in one of the articles, and I'd like to get a copy.
A: Yes, the newsletter, called the "High Street Journal," is available for digital reading online at www.mauicounty.gov/newsletter. To access a printable version, click on the link on the Web page to the pdf. The December issue will be coming out soon.

A new poll shows most Americans disagree with the Obama administration's mandate that religious employers provide birth control for their workers.
The New York Times/CBS News survey found Americans strongly support an exemption, with 57 percent saying religious groups should be able to opt out of the mandate if they have religious or moral objections.
Thirty-six percent said those groups should have to cover birth control.
The survey of 1,009 adults was conducted March 7-11 and had a margin of error of three percentage points.

I have to say that the Crown is gorgeous. We especially liked the Piazza area and Vines was a regular stop for us in the evening. The staff was always pleasant and Victoria at the pursers desk was exceptionally helpful with a wheelchair issue concerning a disabled traveler in our group.
The food however, was off and the breakfast menu was frustratingly difficult and repetitive for those who are on a low carb diet. They didn't even have whole grain bread for toast - only cracked wheat. They also had issues with beef and fish on the trip; the fish was always too fishy and the one night I ordered a fillet it looked more like a hockey puck than prime grade. I do give them points for creativity though, there were some dishes that were very original and quite good.
And finally, decent nightlife choices. The Crown was never lacking in things to do in the evening and even though this ship has a huge amount of passengers, it rarely felt congested or crowded.
I went to the Spa twice and the facial and massage I had were wonderful, but the product sales were high pressure which is irritating. They tried to sell me a body brush for $45 and I already have one which I only paid about $5 for.
The gym was great - never a problem getting on the equipment.

Elephant Sanctuary's New CEO Optimistic About Haven's Future
HOHENWALD, Tenn. — Dulary and Misty were in a playful mood, diving under the water in a pond on The Elephant Sanctuary's lush 2,700 acres.
The pachyderms frolicked, but the mood of the people that founded this facility has not been as upbeat in recent months. A lawsuit between one of the sanctuary's founders and its board of directors has dominated local headlines about the popular nonprofit.
The sanctuary's new CEO Rob Atkinson, who moved from England to Hohenwald, said despite the courtroom rancor, he intends to honor the original mission of the Elephant Sanctuary — giving these animals room to live and roam.
"We want them to have space and freedom," he said. "We want the sanctuary to be even better. We want people to understand we will champion the vision intended for the sanctuary."
A visit from The Tennessean last week marked one of the first media visits at the facility since the lawsuit was filed in October.
Atkinson, former head of wildlife for the United Kingdom's Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was named chief executive officer in September. Sanctuary co-founder Carol Buckley filed her lawsuit in October.
Atkinson is approachable, measuring his words in light of the lawsuit.
"It's a wonderful place, a beacon of hope for those captive elephants," he said. "We are being strategic in how the sanctuary will be used for decades to come. This will be a center for excellence."
Growing pains
The sanctuary has gone through growing pains in the past year. Buckley, a popular figure among the sanctuary's supporters, is suing the organization. Friction between her and the board of directors is chronicled in the lawsuit. A former employee has also filed a wrongful termination lawsuit.
Buckley claims unethical transactions led to her dismissal. She blames the administration for a 2009 tuberculosis outbreak among sanctuary workers.
The sanctuary has fired back with a counterclaim that Buckley created a hostile working environment, with mistreatment of workers. It also alleges that she failed to implement infection control measures, which the sanctuary and regulators agreed to, that preceded several elephant caregivers' testing positive for tuberculosis.
The board brought in Atkinson, who previously worked at Woburn Safari Park and carried out university-based research in the United Kingdom and Africa. He completed his Ph.D. in zoology at Oxford University. An author, Atkinson also served as scientific adviser to the international Coalition of Captive Elephant Well-Being.
Still, amid the turmoil of the lawsuits, supporters wondered whether the sanctuary would continue to get backing from donors — possibly necessitating a change in the policy against opening its doors to the public.
Other than in the educational gallery in downtown Hohenwald or on the sanctuary's website, Atkinson said, that won't happen
"It's like people who want to save the whales," he said. "People care deeply about saving these whales, but a vast majority of these people don't come in contact with whales. It's the same premise."
It was what Scott Blais had in mind for the animals in 1995 when he and Buckley co-founded the sanctuary — having elephants enjoy the habitat in peace, not in public view.
"How can you not be happy with the way the sanctuary has evolved?" Blais asked. "I am happy with the progress and there is still much to be done. We have to protect wild spaces; if not,elephants don't have a chance."

Biyi Bandele's play about a man who has started to drink after the death of his wife in childbirth is based on his book The Street.
Brixton Stories appeared as one of the RSC's 'Other Eden' series of plays. These were commissioned from contemporary writers as responses to Shakespeare's dramas. Through the genre of Magical Realism, Bandele created a world of dreams in Brixton where Ossie Jones, a lawyer, and his daughter Nehushta live. We see them on Ossie's last day alive. Reality becomes mixed with fantasy as Ossie, slipping into a coma, is wrongfully arrested and locked up in prison with a murderer. Suggesting, perhaps, Shakespeare's King Lear, the injustice Ossie faces in his dreamworld is too close to the real world for comfort.

TORTUOSITY with kinking of the carotid artery has been a known anatomic curiosity for many years. It first assumed clinical importance when injury to the tortuous segment during tonsillectomy resulted in massive hemorrhage.1 Preoperative palpation of the tonsillar fossa for arterial pulsation was recommended to prevent this catastrophic complication. Quattelbaum et al2 reported transient hemiparesis in three patients who experienced intermittent internal carotid artery obstruction when the head was turned in such a way as to cause kinking of the vessel.
The purpose of this paper is to present a patient who experienced recurrent transient blindness in the right eye due to tortuosity and kinking of the right common carotid artery following turning the head toward the side of the lesion. This visual disturbance is thought to be the first such reported due to this type of vascular obstruction.
