At the age of 22, Margaret Kerry was chosen as a live-action model of a dimunitive sprite. She didn't know then that her personality and quirkiness would become those of the famous Tinker Bell. Over the span of several months, Kerry pantomimed the antics of the pixie, coming up with jealous pout, a sudden flash of anger or Tink's signature hip-swiveling walk.
Kerry continued to act and dance, and has appeared in 37 major motion pictures.

The Rt. Rev. W. Michie Klusmeyer, Episcopal bishop of West Virginia, has designated the first Sunday in Lent, March 1, as "a Day of Repentance for the sin of slavery, racial segregation and racial discrimination in the Diocese of West Virginia."
Episcopal congregations in the diocese will use special liturgies on March 1 to mark the Day of Repentance.
Last October, the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church USA, led a two-day observance of repentance for the sin of slavery and its aftermath. Klusmeyer and other representatives from the Diocese of West Virginia attended that solemn event in Philadelphia.
In addition, the Rev. Jayne J. Oasin, ECUSA's program officer for anti-racism and gender equality, is conducting anti-racism training for ordained and lay leadership of the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia this week. Members of the Diocesan Council and the Standing Committee, chairs of diocesan commissions and committees and diocesan staff are attending the training sessions that began Friday and conclude today at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Wheeling. Oasin led similar sessions for the diocesan leadership in September 2004 in Charleston.
The diocese's Commission to End Racism also offers anti-racism dialogues and training sessions at various sites throughout the state on a regular basis.
"The Episcopal Church for decades has taken the sin of racism very seriously," Klusmeyer commented. "We have passed numerous resolutions denouncing the sin of racism and have expressed our outrage at the sin of slavery in the 19th century and before. Over the last five to 10 years, we tried to take more concrete steps to make our feelings more known within the communities of faith as well as within our dioceses and the states.
"And working with our Commission to End Racism, we felt that now was the appropriate time to call our individual congregations to make this a reality in our diocese," the bishop said. "Lent is a time for self-examination and repentance. It makes good sense to start it on the first Sunday of Lent."
Regarding the rationale for a Day of Repentance, Klusmeyer said, "In our tradition, we believe that praying shapes believing, that prayer promotes action. The words we pray on that Sunday will indeed cause people to think introspectively about their own participation, their own attitudes toward people who are different. After that self-reflection, we can help them to figure ways to combat their own racist tendencies, actions, beliefs and, individually and corporately as a church, we believe we will take greater steps."
Harold E. Stewart, chair of the Commission to End Racism, is pleased that the diocese is holding a Day of Repentance. Stewart, who resides in Charles Town, attended the national observance in Philadelphia last fall and he described it as "a very moving service." The upcoming diocesan observance is "something that I think we really need," he said. "I am glad we are doing it."
Stewart cautioned, though, "I hope this is not a just a ceremony, that we all feel good about and stop there." He added, "This is not going to solve all the problems, but it is a step in the right direction."
Klusmeyer said he learned from the national Day of Repentance that "in the 1860s, when West Virginia was part of Virginia and the Episcopal Church in West Virginia was part of the Diocese of Virginia, 80 percent of the clergy of the Episcopal Church owned slaves. So much of what we have today in the church was created on the backs of slaves. And slavery wasn't an issue only of the South. People in the North, like our benefactor, J.P. Morgan, would buy and trade with the owners of slaves in the South and so he, too, amassed his money dealing with slave owners. So the whole economy was so intricately connected that we can't say it was a Southern problem."
The bishop recognizes that a Day of Repentance is only part of a continuing process to combat racism in society. "We are taking one step along a long trek. We also recognize that we, even the best-intentioned person, cannot read a book or go to an eight-hour seminar and say, 'OK, I'm fixed.' Every day we have to wake up and pledge, 'I'm not going to do what I did in the past,'" Klusmeyer said. "Racism is so ingrained in our culture that it takes generations to break it."
Stewart commented, "I think there is a lot of soul-searching and attitudes that have to be changed on both sides. This isn't a one-sided thing. There's lots of folks that don't see the need for this, (who ask) 'What are we doing in saying we're sorry' and (think) 'We had no part in it,' as they see it. It was wrong. We have to admit it was wrong. Once we admit that, folks also have to change their attitudes. It's over; it's part of history that's gone. We have to come together and work for the good of all.
"We've still got to work to change attitudes and the way folks are thinking," Stewart continued. "We have to stop placing blame so much on other people. Anything we do and we accomplish has to be together."

David Haye: 'I'm not afraid to quit but I want another shot at a title'
By Mr. David Haye
(Taken from his column in the London Evening Standard)
Im left wondering whether Ill ever wear a pair of boxing gloves again. My last fight was a fifth-round knockout of Dereck Chisora in July but a big part of me hopes that wont be my last ever ring outing.
Yes, Ive achieved enough to walk away content and happy were that to be the case. But, at 32 and still in my athletic prime, I cant help but feel there is unfinished business in the heavyweight division.
Its no great secret that I want to knock out Vitali Klitschko in 2013. The contract for the fight has been agreed and is there ready to sign. Were it simply up to me, Id be training to fight right now. Instead, Im away from the gym and left to play the waiting game.
Nobody seems to know if Vitali wants to set foot again in the ring, let alone face somebody as dangerous as me. What I do know is that by this time next year I will either be a retired former world heavyweight champ or the new world heavyweight champ.
The prospect of retirement doesnt scare me. Ive always planned on retiring at a young age, with my faculties intact. Also, unlike some of my peers, I have plenty to get on with away from boxing.
My long-term goal is to become an actor but, in the meantime, Im looking at lots of ways to stay busy and keep my mind active. I think that is important for any boxer or former boxer no longer training or competing. Just this month I put the finishing touches to a fitness DVD, which reached No1 on the Amazon pre-sales chart, and also an iPhone game, which did similar in the Apple gaming charts.
But the real game is in the ring and by this time next year I want to be recognised as the undisputed number one in the heavyweight division.

Vitali will not fight you Haye, get over it, he wants no part of you at all, everyone can see that. So, either fight someone else or retire

anyway, it is pretty clear that vitali doesn't want to fight him anymore, due to his age and obvious decline in terms of condition, power and speed.

Dave, you're going to have to retire because Klitali wants none of you.

Olympus FE-5020 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
13 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
I appreciate the is review however when you show sample photos, please show important higher than320 ASA samples. As you know digital noise is one of the major drawbacks to these kinds of cameras so we need to know how noisy the photo is. You have left off right where, in my opinion, you should have started to show us ASA comparisons. Thank you. And please also show what hi asa photos look like on tripod and in daylight so we can see what the noise actually is.
I love this camera for convenience and use but outdoor shots looked really washed out compared to my much older 3mp Olympus C310 on its Auto setting. I've not found a setting which helps to correct this so far.
Good luck trying to put wrist strap through a hole a paper clip won't fit through. No carrying case either. May be great pics, but I find it to be too small for myself.
This is the worst camera ever. I got a 6MP camera for about the same price two years ago and it still takes better pictures than this one.
I got it for free, so I am really not biased but really, that would be a huge mistake to buy this.
1. The CCD is the noisiest I have ever seen, whatever the zoom or the iso level. I tried them all.
2. It does not remember the last settings and setting it the way you want requires about 50 button presses, which is way annoying.
3. It can't charge the battery via USB. Seriously?
4. That would not be so bad if it did not empty the provided battery in about two days when it is not used and switched off. Now I am getting angry.
5. As already mentioned, there is no way to put a reasonably sturdy strap. You will need tweezers and patience to fit the provided hair-thick strap.
6. The panoramic function is just lame. If you try to take more pictures to reduce deformation, the provided soft is unable to stitch them together.
7. Speaking of soft, it is of course all commercially bound and does not even provide a nice way to create a web index.
8. No published protocol, so forget about fixing it yourself.
Bad. Really bad. I read other more educated bad reviews for this camera, but all in all, I feel Olympus robbed me with a camera I did not even buy.
I want my money back :)
Why do you guys do not shot at focal length more than 24mm ? Those samples shows only how bad is the lens at 24mm .I need to know how it performs at 26, 30 , 50 ,100 mm
Sorry, I don't know enough about digital photography to give you better samples. (No idea what 320 ASA samples are or how to measure Focal Length) I did send the camera back to Olympus who adjusted the lens and cleaned it but it hasn't really helped. I still get washed out colours on outdoor shots.
Very dissapointing! Wanted to throw it after my first holiday! Photo quality is shocking and I agree with every comment made above. Zoom is useless… I don't know where to start listing all the bad points, they are all bad!
Awful! Just awful.
It is possible to take a good shot with this camera, but you have to find exactly the right setting—due to the horrible configuration, this is not an easy task even if you know what settings you need.
Grab and shoot with this camera, to catch that spontaneous moment, and you will get a grainy washed out picture. Seriously, the camera on my £30 phone produces better results than half of those from the FE-5020.
Then there's the pathetic battery life, useless gimmicky features…
Did I say awful?
well cant say to much for other comments, had no trouble getting the wrist strap on, very happy with the pics. but are's seemed to develope a line going across the middle of screen and would like to know what to do to get rid of it?
I am a yearbook sponsor. I fell in love with the Olympus Stylus 1010 camera. As these cameras suffer the damage of day-to-day use, I needed to purchase more cameras (the 1010 is unavailable?). I figured my students would enjoy this smaller, sleeker camera, and the pretty colors—which they did. But this camera (I bought three) suck! These cameras are hidden on the back of my shelf because all the pictures taken with any of the cameras are horrible!
I do not understand why companies always want to make something "better." If anyone knows a Stylus that is very comparable to the 1010, please let me know.
i was given this camera to search for a data cable to charge the battery. i still haven't found a usb cable suitable for this… I went to several hi-tech stores; they told me i need a micro usb cable but they don't sell it there… anyway… continued my search on the internet.. i need to know which micro usb cable is.. because there are a few different ones… if anyone could tell me, i'd really appretiate.. thank you
P.S.: can't turn the camera on (no battery).. so don't know how pictures are..
can anyone tell me which cable is good for battery charge? I know it's a micro usb but which one??
appretiate, thanks
My friend owns this crummy camera and has complained loudly about washed out pictures. Backlit and white backgrounds destroyed the white balance, plus the images are very grainy.
I finally had a chance to look at it and test the settings. Nothing made much of an improvement til I accidentally found the iAuto setting. The set up directions tell you to use the P setting (optimal) but the iAuto (auto focus) actually works for me. Press the red camera button to set iAuto or navigate to it in Menu.

NYC's Next Transportation Commissioner Is Polly Trottenberg
By Ben Fried; Streets Blog New York
Bill de Blasio has appointed US DOT Under Secretary for Policy Polly Trottenberg to lead the New York City Department of Transportation. Trottenberg is a veteran federal policy maker, whose resume includes stints working for New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan on the 1998 federal transportation bill and for Senator Chuck Schumer.
At the Obama DOT, she's been an architect of TIGER, the grant program that's helped fill funding gaps for many multi-modal projects. She was also a proponent of giving official recognition to the progressive street design guidelines produced by the National Association of City Transportation Officials, which until recently was led by outgoing NYC DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan.
Trottenberg's policy credentials are top-notch, and advocates including Transportation Alternatives and the Straphangers Campaign greeted news of her appointment enthusiastically. The big question is how her deep experience at the federal level will translate to the rough and tumble of redesigning NYC streets... Continue reading the article by visiting Streets Blog New York.

[QUOTE=Red;1210118]Hi all -
Checking in after a few weeks. I'm up ~5lbs. I blame several factors: stress, stress and travel. ( I never eat dessert and while on one day trip to The east coast - I broke down and ate butterscotch pudding at a resto. Geesh. ). And the past few days I feel super bloated - rings tigh5 on hand and belly/breasts rotund. So not sure how to manage bloating. (Advice welcome!)
I'm thinking of this week just focusing on super lean approach. Lower fat, salt. More water and salads for lunch and dinner. Lets see if I can drop some the 5 in water.
I can't imagine much how stress (work) is affecting things. I notice I crave cocoa crack like the dickens. And CC I add salt. So that will also go this week. I haven't eaten grains or bread or sugar (except the butterscotch pudding). But just not eating stuff is enuf. I suspect I'm binging at bit on CC and just food even god food in excess is not good. Been too busy (stress) to even track in MFP. I take some comfort in that clothes still fit. But I feel awful and am fed up with the bloated,feeling --blech.
Sigh ok confessions done. [B]Thanks for letting me vent.[/B][/QUOTE]
That's part of what the forum is for. :rolleyes: Stress will certainly override otherwise good behavior. I have found that NK leaves me better able to manage my stress levels - though even that management is not completely there. For me, the extra piece is exercise - when I get my morning exercise (morning == the only part of the day I own), I do better for the entire day.
Exercise may or may not help you - but I bet there is something that will. Ideas?

JACKSONVILLE, Alabama -- Jordan Jennings and Brittany Gann were still smiling, an hour later, after their performances as victims of a "storm" that cut a path early this morning through Calhoun County.
Jennings and Gann, both 18, were actors as part of a simulation at Jacksonville's Regional Medical Center this morning. The hospital, along with Anniston's two medical centers and the Calhoun County Emergency Management Agency, took part in a disaster scenario to test the area's readiness.
The scenario was simple - a tornado cuts a path through the county, touching parts of the Anniston Army Depot, a shopping center, Anniston Public Works and a school. Earlier this year, Etowah County EMA employed a mock plane crash scenario to test its preparation for disasters. Calhoun County spent about three months preparing for today's exercise.
Jennings and Gann are both students at the Calhoun County Career Tech Center, where they are studying medical service. For the disaster scenario, both students were painted with fake blood.
"I've got shattered glass running through my arm," Jennings said, indicating her mock injuries. "I've got a laceration in my right arm, lacerations on my head. I got thrown through a window."
That was nothing compared to Gann, who had lacerations and a gunshot. It seems the two of them had been involved in a domestic dispute when the storm started. The two came up with their own disaster scenario for the exercise.
In all, there were 21 "victims" at the hospital, with Piedmont Rescue bringing them into the hospital. Jeff Crews, a staffer at the hospital, said workers there rehearsed patient intake and coordination with other facilities.
Hospitals are required to have simulations to test readiness, but Calhoun County EMA also uses them as opportunities to work out coordination between law enforcement, rescue and volunteer agencies. Tammy Bain, a planner and the EMA's public information officer, said the Red Cross also set up a simulated shelter at Greenbrier Baptist Church.
At EMA headquarters, dispatchers took calls from another location where those radioing in played the roles of first responders. They were then patched in to talk to workers coordinating certain areas - ambulances, law enforcement, public works, and others. Those workers sat in a room where the path of the mock storm was charted out for them.
After the exercise ended around 11 a.m., observers from other county EMAs shared their thoughts on everyone's performance.
"We talk about how it went, and what we can improve on," Bain said.

Thanks for the report but it makes me kind of sad too. I was hoping they would stay for the Olympics but if they're happy I guess I am too.
It's such a shame they're not staying to participate in the next olys. I didn't always manage to get into their programs, but I appreciate their attitude to skating, their originality and the quality of their work. Good luck to them.
I think this is the first time it is official. I hope they continue skating in shows occasionally. They are one of the best pro skaters out there today.
Aww..I heard today on the radio that a skating couple were retiring after 13 years of figure skating, I did not catch the name, but thought it might be an ice dance team or a pair team - now I know! Thanks.
I thought it might be a large outside hope at best that they would want to hang around for the 2010 Olympics here in Vancouver. Oh well, they helped to lay a strong foundation for future Canadian dance teams who are coming up the ranks. I will miss seeing their wonderful chemistry together and beautiful flow on the ice. It was treat to watch.
All the best to them no matter what direction their skating takes them. Who knows maybe they will be coaching the next Canadian ice dance champions!!
With COI being cancelled, it's not an exaggeration to say that signing up with SOI is probably as hard as earning a world medal these days. They had a great year with SOI and I'm sure they'd like to retain it at this stage of their career.
I can't say I'm surprised, but I will miss seeing them on the competitive scene. Such quality skaters. I wish them well with their wedding in the future and their skating with SOI; they really seem to have enjoyed themselves this past year.
I didn't want to see them go! Well - it's time to say thanks and well done to this gorgeous team. May your marriage be blessed and may you continue to flourish in your pro career.
I'm not surprised, but I wish them the best in their forthcoming marriage & professional career. I've enjoyed them so much ever since they skated to the soundtrack of "Life is Beautiful," They were terrific in SOI this season , and I hope they will continue to skate in SOI for a number of years to come, as well as in other skating shows.
I sure hope that they decide to continue with Stars on Ice. They were so great!!!
To be sure I am very sad ,but I wish them the very best, and thank them for bringing the dance back to dance!!

My daughter Rose first found the recipe for these pumpkin pecan muffins and we're both hooked on them. The original recipe is for pumpkin bread and is from Whole Grain Baking by King Arthur Flour. But there's something about a muffin that seems like a perfect breakfast food. Really, it's like a bit of cake without any frosting. So no guilt, or very little. I"ve tried several other pumpkin muffin recipes, but I keep coming back to this one.
We're both very fond of pecans. When I was in Florida recently, I lugged home a 5 pound bag of pecans! The only catch was they were in their shells, so night after night my husband or I would crack a bowlful and try not to eat them. Eventually I got a nice panful to roast and that's what I used for these pumpkin muffins.
The recipe calls for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour, but I use whole wheat pastry flour which is ground finer. I love it for cookies and cakes too. I use the other whole wheat flours for breads and rolls. Let's get to it.
Ingredients for 18 2 1/2″ muffins
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon (I always double cinnamon in recipes, which I did here.)
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla (I always double vanilla in recipes too, which I did here.)
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
3/4 cup raisins, dried cranberries or chocolate chips (This is King Arthur's suggestion. Personally, I don't think this is a place for chocolate, so I use the craisins and LOVE them.)
2-3 TBS raw sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease muffin pan or prepare with muffin papers.
Whisk dry ingredients together in a bowl.
Whip eggs and then add butter, vanilla and sugars.
Add pumpkin. Beat a few minutes until blended.
Carefully add dry ingredients and beat just until incorporated.
Mix in the nuts and craisins.
Divide into muffin tins filling them about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle about 1/2 tsp raw sugar on each before putting them in the oven.
Bake about 18 – 22 minutes.
The pumpkin makes these muffins moist; the pecans add some crunch and the craisins add a surprising chewy-tart quality. A perfect blending of flavor.

Whatever the reason for your cycling, one thing's for sure – your two-wheeled habit can be as good for your state of mind as it is for your body.
"Cycling is one of the most effective treatments for stress and in many cases has been proven to be as effective as medication – if not more so," said Neil Shah, of the Stress Management Society.
"Over four times more GPs now prescribe exercise therapy as their most common treatment for stress and depression when compared to three years ago."
"Riding a bike is ideal because it's so accessible and achievable – and the mountain of scientific evidence pointing towards its stress-busting properties is growing by the day.
Riding your bike is a great way to reduce stress
"All too often, people look for a cure to stress once the horse has bolted, when it's much healthier to develop ways to deal with stress on a day-to-day level before it gets to that stage," Shah says.
Mental boost
Perhaps the best known mental exercise boost is the 'runner's high' experienced by endurance athletes, now proven by German researchers to be more than a rather pleasant figment of the imagination.
University of Bonn neurologists visualised endorphins in the brains of 10 volunteers before and after a two-hour running session using a technique called positive emission tomography (PET).
Comparing the pre- and post-run scans, they found evidence of more opiate binding of the happy hormone in the frontal and limbic regions of the brain, areas known to be involved in emotional processing and stress.
"There's a direct link between feelings of wellbeing and endurance exercise of all kinds, and for the first time this study proves the physiological mechanism behind that," says study co-ordinator Professor Henning Boecker.
And because the runner's high only seems to kick in after at least an hour's exercise, ironically you're more likely to experience it in the saddle than on foot!
The mind-body connection doesn't stop there. Researchers from Illinois University in the US found that an improvement of only five percent in cardiorespiratory fitness from aerobic exercise led to an improvement of up to 15 percent in mental tests and ability to deal with stress.
"It boosts blood flow – and, in turn, oxygen – to your brain, which fires and regenerates receptors, explaining how exercise helps ward off Alzheimer's," says study author Professor Arthur Kramer.
And when it comes to rhythm, cycling knows no equal. "Stress makes your heart beat faster, which leads to shallow, fast breathing, a build-up of CO2 and a lack of oxygen in the brain, leading to more stress," says Shah.
"Cycling actually forces you to regulate your breathing, as well as to breathe deeper to expel any lingering CO2 – both key methods used to alleviate stress in non-riders, so you're practising proven clinical techniques."
And, according to University of Bristol psychologists, expanding your lungs lifts your diaphragm, taking pressure off the nerve centre in your solar plexus and relieving the stress on your central nervous system.
Sleep it off
A common problem with stress is finding the 'off' switch, and without sufficient sleep that just isn't possible, according to Professor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University.
"Reducing regular sleep by just one hour each night can lead to a spike in the stress hormone cortisol, which can prevent deep, regenerative sleep, making it even harder to sleep," he says. "Exercise is the one factor that has been shown to redress that imbalance."
So those hill intervals won't just knacker you out in the short-term, they'll also help you catch some quality shut-eye. "Exercising outside also exposes you to daylight, which helps get your circadian rhythm back in sync," says Horne.
And the social side of cycling could be doing you as much good as the exercise. UCLA researchers found that socialising releases the hormone oxytocin, which buffers the 'fight or flight' response to calm you down.
Another study from Harvard Medical School found those with the most friends cut their risk of death by more than 60 percent, reducing blood pressure and strengthening the immune system.
The results were so significant, researchers concluded, that not having close friends is as detrimental to your health as smoking or carrying extra weight. Factor in cycling and you'll be fighting fit for a long time to come.
Don't sweat it: How to de-stress when not cycling
Researchers at West Virginia University found that 35 participants who underwent 'mindfulness meditation' saw a 44 percent reduction in psychological distress over three months. "Just sit quietly, focusing on one point on a wall in front of you, and breathe deeply in and out through your nose for a full three seconds. Repeat this for 10 minutes," says Mark Williams, professor of clinical psychology at Oxford University.
Soak up some sun
Just 10 minutes in the sun can make a tremendous difference to your stress levels. "It's because we have a plant-like nature," says Stephany Biello, a psychology professor at the University of Glasgow. "We get a powerful surge of energy from sunlight."
Coffee with friends
Researchers at Bristol University discovered that when stressed-out workers consumed caffeine by themselves, they remained nervous and jittery, but when anxious execs caffeine-loaded as part of a group, their feelings of stress subsided. "Taking caffeine in a group seems to have a venting effect, helping you to vent uncluttered anxieties and communicate better, leading to lower overall stress levels," says Biello.
Fuel up
"While there's a strong psychological element to stress, your ability to deal with whatever life throws at you is made easier with the right diet," says nutritionist Jane Clarke. "The main recommendations are slow-release carbs, which help to reduce energy dips and feelings of lethargy during the day, and B vitamins, part of the assembly line that manufactures feel-good hormones such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine for an immediate pick-you-up."
In fact, according to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, a lack of B6 can cause nervousness, stress, irritability and even depression. Top sources of B6 are eggs and leafy greens, including spinach and pulses.

Julia & Charles Yelton
Julia and Charles Yelton have been traveling, teaching and living Permaculture for the last 19 years. Julia is a master gardener and skilled landscape designer with a background in architectural ceramics. Charles teaches design engineering and management skills.
Both studied and practiced permaculture at Crystal Waters Permaculture Village in Queensland, Australia for 3 1/2 years and served on the faculty of the Institute for Sustainable Agriculture of Nepal before starting to teach around the world. Together, they have taught, designed, and implemented numerous regenerative whole living systems in India, Bali, Ireland, Guatemala, France, Spain, Morocco, Greece, Egypt, UK, Scotland, Wales, and Canada.
In 2007, they established a community food forest at a drug-rehabilitation center in Cyprus, drawing participation from both Greek and Turkish residents. Since 2009, they have been developing a demonstration center and advanced permaculture design programs at the International Sustainable Living Institute in Caccamo, Sicily.
In the US, after spending a year designing an eco-village in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, the Yeltons established an affordable, sustainable, energy-efficient demonstration home and four-season gardens at the Sustainable Living Center at Humustacia Gardens in Whitefield, ME. Their education programs soon earned college-accreditation through the University of Maine (U-Me) and University of New Hampshire. In 2007, they spearheaded the U-Me initiative to green the campus and were named Still Water Research Fellows in 2007 and 2008. From 2008 to 2009, they were the first Co-Directors of Permaculture Education at the Newforest Institute in Brooks, ME, where they established overall site designs and numerous workshops and courses, including timber-earth "Hobbit House" construction.
Julia and Charles strive to 'teach by doing' and are committed to establishing demonstration sites so that people can experience first-hand the benefits of holistic ecological design. They emphasize hands-on experience in their teaching and also incorporate spirituality and cosmology as an integral part of their courses.
"When we first began teaching Permaculture years ago, we realized that we needed to address the nurturing of the individual who lived in a particular system and for this we added zone zero-zero to the design system. Our work during the last five years has taken on a deepening, with the understanding of the true meaning of ecology, that is the relationship of everything to everything. This puts a new light on the way we present the edge effect, where the abundance of all life is greatly magnified.
We acknowledge ourselves to be composed of mind, body and spirit and when we begin to study our ecology of being, our connectedness to all of nature, allowing us to enter a profoundly spiritual zone, a zone beyond the boundaries. This zone actually is the connection that brings all aspects of the design system full circle. It also holds the unseen spaces between the crossover edges where all of nature's mysteries can be uncovered. It is an endless edge of self discovery and our relationship to our world, a true cosmology. Embracing this zone in our teaching fulfills our need for a completeness, a oneness that may of us are searching for." - Julia and Charles Yelton

Behrman Charter School hosted a debate competition on March 29, and teams from middle schools across New Orleans attended.
Such debates are organized by the Tulane English Department's Debate Education Society, a service learning project directed by Ryan K McBride. At first, only three middle schools participated, but it has grown to encompass 12 schools.
At this year's event, Felicity Brown, a Behrman eighth-grader, was the first-place individual winner, and Sophie B. Wright was the school team winner.
Behrman represents the West Bank in these debate competitions, the only Algiers middle school with a team. And their success in previous events made them a natural choice to host this one. To plan it, Dr. McBride worked together with Philip Razem.
A 6th grade language arts teacher, Razem arrived at Behrman three years ago, but before that, he taught debate in China as a Peace Corps Volunteer. When the Tulane School of Law reached out to promote their middle school debate league three years ago, he jumped at the chance to start the team.
Debate demands creative and critical thinking, as well as the ability to research the complicated issues with which our communities and our country struggle. It teaches sportsmanship. Perhaps most of all, it gives students a chance to be heard.
Tulane student Elise Matton judged several debates, and she believes in how it develops a child's speech and assertiveness. Matton said, "students remember how they felt when they spoke, whether they were confident or shy." With feedback, they improve, and she has watched struggling students learn to command a room.
Of course, not all start off shy. Behrman debaters Jeremiah Brown and Constance Davis were steered towards the debate team after demonstrating a willingness to argue.
"I was fussing with someone, and the teacher gave me a pink slip that sent me to the debate team," said Jeremiah.
Stepping in, Constance said, "But debate teaches us there are a right way and a wrong way to do things."
Both said they enjoyed the back and forth, and the way that debate offers an appropriate way to stand up for oneself. Everyone needs that ability, but maybe nobody needs it more than young people navigating the hallways of a middle school.
At the open house that same Saturday, the Federal City YMCA showed Algiers Point residents and residents of other surrounding neighborhoods its facilities, programs and plans for the future.
Currently, the YMCA has weights, machines and cardio equipment for those looking to get fit, as well as fitness classes and the exercise rooms that house them. Zumba, spin classes, line dancing and kickboxing, these are but a few of the programs.
There are a locker rooms and basketball courts, everything one expects of the YMCA. And the YMCA also offers families a parent's night out twice monthly. They will offer a camp this summer.
The summer camp costs $130 weekly with a one-time registration fee of $50. It runs from May 27 to Aug. 8, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Each week has a different theme: science, pirates, animals and super heroes.
The costs of many of the programs are adjusted according to income levels.
And according to Executive Director Samantha Pichon, there are big plans for the future. The Federal City YMCA will expand its 1,200 square feet of exercise space to 4,000 square feet before April 15, 2015. They also plan to have their pool finished by that date, six lanes, heated, with a play area for smaller children.
Kiwanis Club of Algiers
The speaker for the April 10 meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Algiers will be John Kelly, Captain of the Krewe of Lafcadio. The club meets on Thursday mornings from 7 to 8 a.m. at Aurora Swim and Tennis Club at 5244 Gen. Meyer Ave.

Apparently, there are two very important rules if you find yourself in a prison shower: don't drop the soap and don't stop running until you fall through the giant hole in the floor at the end of the level. Good to know.

Our waiter in the main dining room was excellent - when he asked how our meal was (and he always did), if your response was not excellent or great, he would bring you your second choice from the menu. The food was very great - all the dishes were well presented and proportioned. We have been on other cruises where they seemed to want to fill the whole plate.
Our favourite place was the Martini Bar - Our waiter 'Dwayne' was a delight. On our second evening in the bar he knew our names and always greeted us. He took care of us every evening from then.
All I can say - This was our favourite cruise and will be booking with Celebrity again next year.

Lend Me featureMIM49 Feb 7, 2012 9:20 AM
When I was shopping for and considering an ereader, one of the features stressed by the salesperson was the Lend Me feature. At no time were restrictions to the feature explained: that only some books were "Lend Me", that a book if lendable could only be lent one time, that the period for a book that was lent was for a 2 week period only. Having had only "paper book" experience when once a book was purchased there was no restrictions as to what I did with it, it did not occur to me to ask for additional information regarding the feature. The Lend Me feature was not a big reason that I purchased the NookColor but it was one of the reasons. I have always shared books I have purchased with family and friends. In fact we would often agree to purchase a different book each and swap which would make reading more affordable. I have found that the majority of books that I like to read and buy are not lendable. Most of the freebies or cheap books are but there is little reason to lend those. The actuality of the Lend Me feature makes me feel that I was some how cheated and it leaves a nasty taste. I think when it comes to truth in advertising what is not said is as important as what is said. Have you heard of the $10,000 judgement against Honda in a small claims court because the car owner did not get the gas mileage as advertised? Of course I am not going to sue B & N because Lend Me was less then the salesperson inferred. But the feature is certainly less then I expected. However, now that I have had my rant let me say that as a plus it is nice knowing that the book I have lent is not going to come back with dog eared or bent pages, dirty or torn and that it IS actually going to come back. And if any of you ClubNookers would like me to "friend" you, just ask and you can take a look at my lendable books.

Hydrocodone withdrawals can be extremely uncomfortable and this is why it is so hard to break an addiction to this medication.� People who start to feel the detox symptoms from Hydrocodone will get very uncomfortable and this is what causes them to stay hooked on the drug.
What are the withdrawal symptoms when detoxing from Hydrocodone addiction?� It can be loosely described as flu like symptoms, and might include nausea , vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, tremors, shaking, hot and cold flashes, chills, sweats, night sweats, bone and joint pain, body aches and dilated pupils.
What is the best way to get through the withdrawal and avoid these symptoms?� There are a couple of routes you can go but the best choice for most people is to go to drug rehab and go through detox. There they can treat your withdrawal symptoms by giving you medicine, and in some cases they will control or even eliminate the symptoms by giving you a synthetic opiate medication that pretty much takes away the symptoms without really getting you high.
Another way to deal with Hydrocodone addiction withdrawal is to go through ultra rapid detox.� In this case you will not feel any withdrawal symptoms because you will be put to sleep and then your system will be completely flushed out.� All opiates will be removed from your body in what basically amounts to an operation procedure.� When you wake up your body will be clean from drugs and most or all of the withdrawal will be gone.� This sounds pretty enticing to most addicts but there are some real drawbacks with this.� For one thing the procedure is very expensive and is not yet approved to treat anything.� As such, you will have to pay cash in order to have ultra rapid detox done and even then there is no guarantee that you will stay clean.� Apparently there is also some risk of death so you might want to take that into consideration as well.
If you try to detox yourself at home then you will have to deal with the withdrawal symptoms on your own. In some cases these may be mild but in other cases they will be extreme.� It all depends on how much of the drug you have been using and for how long you've been using it.� You might consider trying to taper yourself down but in most cases this is tough to do as you will feel like you are in withdrawal for the entire taper.� Rehab really is the best choice if you are struggling with this.
A couple quick tips for home detox (consult your doctor first, etc.):
1) Alternative Tylenol with Ibuprofen for body aches every four hours. �Do not exceed dosages on the bottle, etc.
2) Take 50mg of Benadryl for anxiety, but again, check with your doctor, and don't exceed what it recommends on the box.
3) Sleep as much as possible.
4) Drink lots of water.
Consider taking a walk each day in order to help with sleep at night. �Many people struggle to sleep during withdrawal, so if you can get in a solid 8 each night, you are doing well.

Joseph Friedman, MD, a leading expert in Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders and director of the Movement Disorders Program at Butler Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island will be a guest on the award-winning Patricia Raskin Positive Living Program on WPRO news talk radio 6:30 am this Sunday at 1:30 pm. Listeners can call Dr. Friedman on the show at (401) 438-W-P-R-O (401-438-9776) or toll free at 1-800-321-W-P-R-O (1-800-321-9776) or on the web at www.630WPRO.com.
Chronic and progressive, Parkinson's is generally considered to be a disease of late middle age with the average age of onset at around 60 years of age. There are cases of "early-onset" Parkinson's disease. Actor Michael J. Fox reportedly developed symptoms in his early 30's. Affecting approximately one million people in the United States, the cause is unknown. The primary symptoms are tremor or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; rigidity or stiffness of the limbs and trunk; bradykinesia or slowness of movement; and impaired balance and coordination. Although there is presently no cure, there are treatment options such as medication and surgery to manage its symptoms.
A professor and chief of the Division of Movement Disorders in the Department of Neurology at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Dr. Friedman has authored two books, Making the Connection Between Brain and Behavior: Coping with Parkinson's Disease and Taking Charge: Good Medical Care for the Elderly and How to Get It. Actively involved in research on movement disorders, Dr. Friedman's primary focus is Parkinson's and Huntington's disease and drug induced movement disorders. He is currently studying the depression, anxiety and fatigue that are often related to Parkinson's disease, an area that has been little explored. Dr. Friedman was a member of the National Institute of Health's committees to define depression and psychosis in Parkinson's and was chosen by the International Movement Disorders Society to help evaluate rating scales for fatigue and psychosis in the disease.
Butler Hospital is the only private, nonprofit psychiatric and substance abuse hospital serving adults, adolescents and children in Rhode Island and southeastern New England. Founded in 1844, it was the first hospital in Rhode Island and has earned a reputation as the leading provider of innovative psychiatric treatments in the region. The flagship hospital for the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Butler is recognized worldwide as a pioneer in conducting cutting-edge research.

In fact, you can make a whole day of it because Satchmo Summerfest, based at the Old U.S. Mint on Esplanade Avenue, ends at 6 p.m. on Saturday, making it easy to take in that festival before joining the coordinated gallery receptions from 6 to 9 p.m.
Besides serving as the hub of New Orleans' art gallery scene, the Warehouse District is also home to a selection of fine local restaurants.
Here's a cheat sheet detailing six of the better options.
Eleven 79
1179 Annunciation St., 504.299.1179
Lying just outside the Warehouse District boundaries is one of New Orleans' premier white tablecloth Creole-Italian restaurants (see also: Tommy's Cuisine), a dimly lit, adult-themed playground of red gravy pastas, butter-sauced local fish and hearty fowl and meats, particularly veal. Dinner here will turn your pre- or post-White Linen meal into an event unto itself, one worth walking a few extra blocks to enjoy.
La Cote Brasserie
700 Tchoupitoulas St., 504.613.2350
The restaurant in the Renaissance Arts Hotel is built for the occasion: Giant windows bring you close to the street action in the comfort of an airy dining room with a raw bar and access to clean lavatories. While chef Chuck Subra's modern, Cajun-tinged cooking deserves a higher profile, the restaurant tends to exhibit the rust that comes from slow traffic -- something that shouldn't be a problem tonight.
800 S. Peters St., 504.525.3474
White Linen Night is one of this festival-loving city's signature hot season events, and it is fitting that RioMar sits at the center of its action. With an aesthetic that pushes clean flavors and refreshment over richness, chef Adolfo Garcia's seafood-centric, nuevo-traditional Latin menu is well-suited to the harsh weather. The daily specials tend to reflect an interest paid to seasonal produce. The caipirinhas make it hard to decamp from the roomy bar. And Miles Prescott, the chef who made a strong impression with his food at The Country Club in Bywater, recently joined the kitchen staff.
823 Fulton St., 504.581.7253
Regulars of this Warehouse District standby know and love the fact the its name rings true: It is a high-volume, high energy restaurant serving solid Japanese food to an audience comprised largely of young people who are neither on their first nor their last stop of the evening. White Linen Night should be no different than any other.
Tommy's Wine Bar
725 Tchoupitoulas St., 504.525.4790
Tables at Tommy's Cuisine, one of two very good Creole-Italian restaurants in the area (see also: Eleven 79), will be tough to come by considering its popularity and the volume of potential diners passing by its front door. Traffic at the adjacent Wine Bar, however, will be more free-flowing, allowing drop-ins a better opportunity to build a meal from its menu of cheese, pate, appetizers and desserts. The wine list is 150 bottles strong, with a healthy selection from the mother country.
610 Tchoupitoulas St. 504.324.8000
Plenty of wine will be poured at the galleries, but if you're looking to follow the cardinal rule of wine consumption -- always start with the good stuff -- you'll want to pencil in an early visit to W.I.N.O. Wine Institute New Orleans' Enomatic system dispenses measured pours from more than 100 bottles, making the retailer the city's de facto wine bar for the serious grape geek. You can also buy charcuterie, cheese and other wine-appropriate snacks to gird you for the evening ahead.

MICHAEL A. BROWN, who pulled himself up by his bootstraps to become founder/president of Environmental Construction Services in the Far Northeast, said yesterday that he is moving his company to Oxford Circle to make it a job-providing "pillar of the community."
Brown said that in 2010 when he founded the company - which retrofits businesses to reduce their energy costs - people told him he couldn't find skilled employees in Philadelphia.
They were wrong. "In one year, I grew our company from four employees to 32 - everyone from energy auditors to union sheet metalworkers, pipe fitters and plumbers," Brown said. "I'm looking to hire another 10 to 20 people when we move to the lower Northeast. I think this is the place to do it."

Atlanta Construction Workers Hit Union with Federal Charges After Being Slapped with $5,000 Retaliatory Fines for Nonunion Work
**Atlanta, GA (February 21, 2007)** — With free legal help from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, three local commercial insulation workers filed federal charges against a local union for refusing to honor their resignations from the union and threatening to fine them $5,000 each in retaliation for working for a nonunion employer.
Gonzalo Gomez, Ubaldo Romero, and Juan Perez, filed the parallel unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against the International Association of Heat & Frost Insulators Local 48 union. The workers seek an injunction blocking any illegal fine collection proceedings initiated by union officials in state court because Romero and Perez have already been served with notices demanding payment of the unlawful fines.
"Union officials are abusing their power over workers to prevent them from earning a good living," said Stefan Gleason, vice president of the National Right to Work Foundation. "It is unconscionable for union bosses to attempt to drive workers into the poorhouse in vicious retaliation for pursuing work opportunities at nonunion job sites."
Insulator union officials told workers at a recent union meeting that they could not resign their union memberships unless they did so "correctly," but failed to explain exactly what this meant. When asked what this meant, union officials replied simply that the employees had failed to resign "correctly."
Gomez and his coworkers cannot be lawfully fined because they resigned their union memberships (and thus were no longer subject to internal union rules) before returning to work – their right under the Foundation-supported *Patternmakers v. NLRB* 1986 U.S. Supreme Court decision. In *Patternmakers*, the High Court ruled workers may resign their full, formal union membership immediately, at any time, and without restrictions.
The NLRB is responsible for investigating the charges and will decide whether to prosecute the union for unfair labor practices.
Aside from violating the National Labor Relations Act, Insulator union officials' actions also run contrary to the spirit of Georgia's highly popular Right to Work law – on the books since 1947 – which prohibits forcing workers to join or pay dues to a union as a job condition.
The workers' charges follow unfair labor practice charges filed recently by coworker Larry Blaisdell, who was similarly retaliated against by Insulator union officials for resigning his union membership and working for a nonunion employer.

Dukes Snap Two-Game Losing Skid
Nov. 26, 2005
Duquesne snapped a two-game losing skid with a 70-60 victory over Bradley in the consolation game of the Miami Thanksgiving Classic Saturday evening at the BankUnited Center. Aiga Bautre hit a game-best 21 points, which included 14 in the second half, to lead the Dukes. Loui Hall added 15 and Nicole Sinclair poured in 12 markers and grabbed a game-best eight rebounds in the win. Brittany Warren snagged a game-best five steals as well for the Dukes who had 12 for the game. Bradley was paced by Ashley Chelleen's 14 points, eight of which came from the free throw line.
The Dukes held an early 21-13 on a three pointer from Stankevich and had five quick points from Bautre who hit a three and a lay-up off a steal in the in a :20 span giving the Red & Blue a 26-15 margin at 7:16. Hall upped the lead to a 28-15 edge at 6:17, but the Braves rattled off an 8-0 run to inch their way to a 23-28 reach as 3:21 remained. Duquesne went up 34-23 with :13 ticking and Bradley closed out the half hitting a three in the final seconds, but the Dukes held a 34-26 advantage at the break.
Duquesne shot an astounding .519 (14-27) from the field the first half to the Braves' .303 (10-33). Bradley was 2-10 from the three while the Dukes hit 3-7 from behind the arc.
The Dukes held a 45-33 lead in the second frame as Bautre hit eight of the team's 11 points. Duquesne then suffered a six-minute scoring drought and the Brave rattled off six unanswered to get within a 39-45 reach at 13:46. Bautre snapped the cold streak hitting her third trey of the game to up the Dukes' lead to a 48-39 edge as 12:49 remained. The Braves used a 10-3 run to get within a 49-51 reach at the 9:02 mark before Sinclair hit the one-and-one bonus for a 56-49 DU lead as 8:09 remained. Bradley got within a 57-58 reach at the 4:24 mark netting four points off of Duquesne turnovers and hitting two free throws.
Duquesne hit 23-499 from the field (.469) and held the Brave to just 20-65 (.308) shooting. Rebounds were tied at 39 each. The Dukes also hit 7-15 (.467) from the three and 17-22 (.773) from the charity stripe.
The Dukes return to the Burgh and travel up Forbes Avenue to face cross-town rival Pitt on Wednesday, Dec. 3, for a 7:00 pm tip.
