On a midsummer Tuesday morning at the Roberts Proton Therapy Center at Penn Medicine, the children's waiting room is bustling. Preteens punch up basketball video games while younger children squash Play-Doh through a plastic mold or check doll heart rates with toy stethoscopes.
At a round table in the center of the waiting room sits Carlin Beasley, a delicate 3-year-old in a pink tutu whose mischievous eyes gaze out above a wide sterile mask.
Chemotherapy for a brain tumor has compromised her immune system, but it hasn't stopped Carlin from pulling out the pieces of a real-life prep kit designed to deliver anesthesia.

New York City MoodyŌĆÖs just-released report, ŌĆ£U.S. REIT and REOC Review and Outlook: Declining Fundamentals Cloud Outlook for Ratings,ŌĆØ stated it expects most rating actions among the REITs to be negative in the coming year. Retail, however, is among the sectors that are expected to be stable.
ŌĆ£Investment-grade REITs in particular entered this period of credit dislocation with sound balance sheets and largely unencumbered portfolios of assets," said Chris Wimmer, VP. "These strengths have allowed some REITs to successfully raise capital in the debt and equity markets, which they have used to lower refinancing risk and augment liquidity.ŌĆØ
A number of REITs, however, have seen increases in total leverage and secured debt levels, he said, thinning their cushions for covenant compliance, which has led to negative pressure on ratings and even to downgrades.
By property sectors, MoodyŌĆÖs has a negative rating outlook on industrial and lodging REITs. It has a stable rating outlook for retail, office, multifamily and healthcare REITs. From the beginning of 2008 through the end of April 2009, MoodyŌĆÖs reports it issued 38 downgrades and two upgrades across the REIT and REOC sector.
Further details on the new MoodyŌĆÖs report are available on Moodys.com.

What is it with guys in #23 jerseys breaking Cavs fans' hearts?
As counterintuitive as this sounds, the Cavs should simply retire LeBron James' #23, if for no other reason than to move one step closer to having it removed altogether from the NBA.
For their first two decades, the Cleveland Cavaliers, with the help of criminally incompetent owner Ted Stepien, were among the NBA's bottom-dwellers, having won more than 43 games in a season just once. In many ways, the last two decades (22 years actually) have been kinder to the Cavs, with 11 seasons of 47+ wins, seven seasons of 50+ wins, two 60-win seasons, and the franchise's only trip to the NBA Finals.
However, for various reasons - most involving serious injury or some dude in a #23 jersey, even the best of seasons have ended in heartbreak. In the deciding game of Round 1 of the 1989 playoffs, Michael Jordan hit "The Shot." In the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals, Michael hit "The Shot: Part II." The franchise won the lottery (literally) in 2003, and with it the right to draft local prodigy LeBron James, only to have its best-ever run tend in tears, as the local chose not to make good but to seek greener pastures elsewhere, but only after publicly toying with the only professional franchise he'd ever known.
Is Cleveland cursed? Probably not. Really unlucky? Definitely? On the ropes? For the time being. Is there hope? Always.

The third single from the upcoming movie Country Strong has been officially released: a Gwyneth Paltrow-Tim McGraw duet called "Me and Tennessee." It proves what we already knew from listening to the film's first single, "Country Strong," and watching Paltrow's appearance on Glee last month: the Oscar-winning actress can sing. "Me and Tennessee" does have one element of novelty, though: it's written by Coldplay lead singer—and Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow—Chris Martin:

Dear Dr. Gott: I would like to find out more information on donating blood plasma. A friend of mine said it wasn't bad. What are the pros and cons of donating?
Dear Reader: Apheresis (ay-fur-ee-sis) is a unique process that allows a person to donate platelets, plasma or red blood cells, and then the rest of the blood is returned to the body. The plasma you refer to is the liquid part of blood that contains vital clotting factors and carries nutrients throughout the body. It is in demand for people with bleeding disorders, cancer, premature infants, organ transplants and burn victims.
Whole blood is drawn from a donor's arm through sterile tubing and into an automated blood collection (ABC) system that separates the blood into the various components. The component (such as plasma, which is the most common donation) is collected through sterile methods, and the balance of the whole blood is returned to the donor through the sterile tubing connection. The procedure takes up to two hours, which is longer than normal blood donation (because of the separation of components). Minor side effects of apheresis include a slight chill and tingling around the mouth.
Six "whole blood" donors produce a combination of one unit of platelets for transfusion. Through the ABC system, one individual can give a full unit of the specific component needed. Thus, blood is collected from fewer donors, decreasing the likelihood of transfusion reaction that can occur when multiple donors are used. Plasma is always in great demand. One example is a single cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy, who may require as many as eight units of platelets each week.
Donation follows guidelines provided for whole-blood donors. A person must be in good health, weigh at least 110 pounds, be at least 17 years old and can't have had aspirin or any aspirin-containing medication 48 hours prior to donation. A restriction is placed on people taking calcium channel blockers. Donors taking Plavix or Ticlid must wait at least 15 days after their last dose before donating platelets. Platelets can be donated as often as every seven days, however, no more frequently than 24 times each year. Plasma can be donated every four weeks, and red blood cells can be donated every eight or 16 weeks, depending on the donation process.
All phases of collection are performed by trained personnel under sterile conditions. Needles, tubing and collection bags are discarded after each use, making it almost impossible to contract disease from the process. Readers who would like additional information on apheresis can contact the American Red Cross by phone at 800-GIVELIFE or online at www.redcross.org.

Big 10 Championship: Michigan State Spartans vs. Ohio State Buckeyes
Ohio State saw their window to the National Championship game open up last weekend when Auburn beat Alabama. Now they have to win this game against a really tough Michigan State team. The Spartans have what many consider to be the best defenses in the country and have held nine of their opponents to under 15 points this season. Ohio State has the best offense in the conference, and will look to overcome the defensive pressure to win on the offensive end. The pressure will be on Ohio State because a loss will knock them out of the National Championship game for sure, while the Spartans are likely headed to the Rose Bowl no matter what transpires.

So far so good
By Shoni
from Washington State
Our 9 year old Tonk has developed asthma over the past couple years and the symptoms have increased both in frequency and severity as she's put on a bit of weight. We've started her on a diet (I did a significant amount of research on how to do so properly) and though she's always been an only indoor cat, we recently have been providing her a gated in area outside where she can sun herself. These two changes in her life, accompanied with these daily drops we purchased here are the only ones we've made recently and I can't say which is more productive, but I'm thankful because her attacks have decreased significantly *especially* since adding the drops. I do as someone suggested and (since she's so fond of her treats) I add one drop to each of three 'temptations' every afternoon and she just licks it off and then eats the treats. I'm inclined to believe it's the drops making the difference, but it could be the mix of current changes. I'm averse to giving my pets chemicals, so I was really excited about this option! Thank you, so far, so good!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Definitely works!
By Tetecita
from Arizona
My 12 year old cat has always had allergies (seasonal, wool). Last year he started having occasional asthma-like attacks, and when we got the Christmas tree they became daily. After we got rid of the tree the attacks continued. He's overweight as it is, and I didn't want to put him on steroids and risk him gaining more weight. He's been taking these drops daily for a few months now and they have definitely helped! He still has an occasional attack, but they're much less frequent (1-2 per week instead of per day) and much less severe. I'm glad I went the holistic route with him.
Product was not what I hoped for,problems with delivery,
By Tj
from st johns mi
Very disappointed in the product,did not help my pug at all was difficult to administer and I think my dog actually got worse with this product
So far, So good
By Cosmos' mom
from Eatontown, NJ
Cats been on steroids shots about every 4 weeks, prednisone every other day 2 weeks after shot and an inhaler when needed. Has only been on the drops about 4 weeks but have cut back on the prednisone and hope to be able to cut it out all together. Hasn't needed the inhaler. This is the longest he has gone without a shot.He loves Temptations so I just put some on the floor and use a drop on three pieces in the morning and night. I will give an up-date later on.

She takes it like a champ!
By She's the cats mother
from Danbury, CT
I know the directions say to put it in purified water or give directly by mouth, but my little one doesn't drink on command or like the dropper in her face. I end up putting it in her wet food, right at the spot I know she will eat first. I have noticed a reduction in frequency of attacks, as well as an easing of the symptoms. Thank you so very much for enabling me to help my little girl without having to "trap and torture" her daily with inhaled steroids like her vet recommended! I was very scared for her till I found your site!Thanks again!Aurora

Join Couchsurfing to see Isabelle's full profile. It's free!
About Me
Our Fringe show GRENDEL with VoiceBox Theatre Company - Check it out!
I've been a juggler for many years, juggling was often a reason for my travels and a way to meet wonderful people all around Europe.
I'd love to meet fellow jugglers and discover the best places to juggle wherever I stay.
I'm a translator and an interpreter and I'd like to get the chance to communicate in more languages (or get to a level where I'm able to have a proper communication in them!)
I'm going to translate a novel sometime. I don't know which or how, but I'm sure it's going to happen at some point. Who knows, maybe I'll meet the right people through Couchsurfing, or maybe I already have...
But I'm also a bit of a coward, and I'm currently working on changing that (see my mission).
Of course, this is not "All about me" - I would feel rather one-dimensional if I could tell *all* about yourself in this little box here. I'd rather learn more about others in a personal conversation, and vice versa!
Ever tried? Ever failed? Don't matter.
Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Haven't had the chance to host many people, because I've been moving around and in and out of different flats myself.
But I really enjoy being part of the Edinburgh CS community, events, weekly meetings, showing others around town etc. It's been a real eye-opener so far! :)
I feel nothing but fortunate for the experience with the people that I met through couchsurfing. I was reminded of many things that should be self-evident, but tend to be forgotten.
To me, besides the very practical benefits, CS is a source of energy that enables people to change for the better - a bit like placing lucky pennies randomly in the streets, to make people feel lucky for maybe just one moment, and let them dare something that they otherwise wouldn't have done.
I re-learned trust and openness and the power of the "magic force that dwells in all beginnings"...
Juggling, physical theatre...
This is my life until the 24th of August:
After that, I will also be interested in lots of other things again, such as:
Non-violent communication, meditation, Psytrance Music, Happiness.
And just about anything that someone can tell be about with genuine enthusiasm!
- writing
- books
- meditation
- juggling
- magic
- music
- boxing
- languages
- sign language
Music, Movies, and Books
Before Sunrise
Mumford & Sons
The Terrordactyls
Xavier Rudd
Alex Garland
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd be happy to teach anyone who's interested, how to juggle, because it's great fun and it's even better to do it together with other people.
Ok, this is starting to get a bit repetitive, as if I can't talk about anything but juggling the whole day long. That's not true, of course, though it's what happens sometimes, when you're spending six months of your life writing a thesis about juggling!
But I'm also a translator and interpreter and I think you can never know enough languages. That's why I'd like to learn from others and improve my Spanish or French or Romanian or Sign Language!
Oh, and I can show you how to solve Rubik's Cube ;)

With friends like Rachel Jeantel, the supporters of Trayvon Martin don't need any enemies.
Jeantel, who made an absolute idiot out of herself in court, is now doing TV interviews and the things she's saying are, well, more idiocy compounded by unmitigated racism and gay-bashing.
In an interview on CNN Jeantel says:
"Yes. Definitely. After I say, 'Might be a rapist.' For every boys or every man, every who's not that kinda way, see a grown man following them, would they be creep out? So you gotta take as a parent. You tell a child, "You see a grown person follow it you, run away," and all that."
So, besides Trayvon Martin thinking George Zimmerman was a "creepy ass cracka", according to Jeantel's telling, she's now saying that Martin thought Zimmerman was a gay rapist and that might be why Martin feared Zimmerman and wound up beating him up.
If that were true, maybe the Justice Department will want to review that as a wanna-be hate crime. No?
Take a look at the clip from Jeantel's interview on CNN. If you can't stand to sit through her idiocy in full, skip to about 6 minutes into the interview to her gay bashing theory. Jeez, the Trayvon Martin case is a already tragedy enough. As for Jeantel, she's something the public debate can do without.
Trayvon Martin thought George Zimmerman a gay 'rapist'?
With friends like Rachel Jeantel, the supporters of Trayvon Martin don't need any enemies.

Granted, Delaney may be helping his 674,351 followers waste their time. But through Twitter, the 35-year-old was able to build up a sizable following, one 140-character-or-less joke at a time, dating back to its first days in 2009. »Read Full Article(1)

In Reply.—Dr Crook's comments get right to the heart of the issues involved in the relationship between diet and behavior. He says, "I freely admit that the conditions of some of my patients who were hyperactive may have improved after dietary manipulation for a variety of reasons...., I make no claim to understand the mechanisms involved." The point is that Dr Feingold does make a claim that the mechanism underlying behavioral change is the body's response to specific food additives. I agree that there is apparently a relationship between diet and behavior. (Dr Conner's studies demonstrate this, for example.) What isn't clear is whether behavioral change is attributable to food additives or other effects such as psychological ones. For the practitioner whose main goal is to improve function, it may not matter whether improvement is a result of one factor or another, as long as the treatment is not

Third Annual Trumpet Smorgasbord Starts With a Salute
Though lacking the clout of JVC and the community of the Vision Festival, the Festival of New Trumpet Music, a/k/a FONT Music, has evolved into a summer institution. Its third incarnation, intelligently designed by Dave Douglas, Roy Campbell, and Jon Nelson, distributed nearly four dozen bands across four successive venuesstarting with the Jazz Standard, which gamely accommodated a six-day paean to Lester Bowie, the Art Ensemble trickster whose trumpet geekdom took a backseat to his musical scope.
Bowie's patron sainthood, along with Douglas's omnipresence, kept the week from unraveling into Trumpetpalooza. All of the 14 bands that played the Standard had horns at the helmeven Burnt Sugar, in a roundabout waybut the instrument was rarely the main focus. When it was, as in Bill Dixon's slurry of a set, conventional heroics were supplanted by a self-effacing brand of virtuosity: echo-chamber whimpers instead of alpha-male displays. Douglas, in his Brass Ecstasy band, set an example by sharing the spotlight with trombonists Ray Anderson and Clark Gayton. Both earned their keep on Douglas's head-wagger "Just Another Murder"as did tubaist Marcus Rojas, who puffed a bass vamp ripped from Björk's "Human Behaviour."
Bobby Bradford and Baikida Carroll, trumpeters from Bowie's generation, paid their tributes without stylistic deference. Each played commandingly but left the heavy lifting to his sidemen: Bradford got an immeasurable boost from bassists Mark Dresser and Ken Filiano, while Carroll nominally led a blazing group that in other circumstances would be Tim Berne's something-or-other. It's no accident that Carroll, who was on the Julius Hemphill records that clinched Berne's style, breezed through the latter's typically knotty new "BG . . . uh . . . OH," a highlight of the set.
Festival of New Trumpet Music
Jazz Standard
August 2 through 7
FONT Music's stated aim of upending inside-outside dichotomies jibed nicely with the likes of Campbell, Corey Wilkes and Cuong Vu and was dramatically fulfilled by Randy Sandke's tunefully avant-garde "Mystic Trumpeter" suite, which gave the lie to his conservative rep. Closing night at the Standard, Sandke's Metatonal Band delivered what felt like a culmination. It wasn't, of course; there were still several weeks of hornucopia ahead.

Wall Street Finishes Strong After Selloff
Category: Markets / Finance
/ Feb 05, 2013 6:02PM EDT
Stocks climbed on Tuesday (February 5), recovering a day after the market's biggest sell-off since November, as stronger-than-expected earnings brightened the profit picture. Dell Inc's stock rose after the world's No. 3 computer maker agreed to be taken private in a $24.4 billion (USD) deal, the largest leveraged buyout since the 2008-2009 financial crisis. The stock gained 1.1 percent to $13.42. "It seems to me like the game plan for Dell is ultimately to sell the company to another big tech maker. It remains to be seen, you know, in the future whether the PC business is going to be as competitive as it currently is," said Jon Marino, the editor of Thomson Reuters' private equity hub (peHUB). The deal, which requires shareholder approval, would end a 24-year run on public markets for a company that was conceived in a college dorm room and quickly rose to the top of the global personal computer business - only to be rendered an also-ran over the past decade as PC prices crumbled and customers moved to tablets and smartphones. "So maybe we could see another private equity firm even buy a part of HP, like its desktop business. Stay away from those printers - you don't want to be there. And you can merge those two companies together, eventually. It's going to be pretty interesting to see us consolidate the laptop business into maybe just two or three players. Apple, obviously, isn't going away," Marino added. Dell executives said on Tuesday that the company will stick to a strategy of expanding its software and services offerings for large companies, with the goal of becoming a full-service provider of corporate computing services in the mold of the highly profitable IBM. They downplayed speculation that Dell might spin off the low-margin PC business on which it made its name. On the other hand, all 10 S&P sectors ended higher and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained more than 1 percent. The market's bounce follows a sell-off on Monday that gave the S&P 500 its biggest percentage decline since mid-November. The benchmark remains up 6 percent since the start of the year and is less than 4 percent away from its all-time closing high of 1,565.15 from October 2007. Analysts said fourth-quarter results have been among factors helping to boost stocks. On Tuesday, Archer Daniels Midland reported revenue and adjusted fourth-quarter earnings that beat expectations, boosted by strong global demand for oilseeds. Shares rose 3.3 percent to $29.38. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 99.22 points, or 0.71 percent, at 13,979.30. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 15.58 points, or 1.04 percent, at 1,511.29. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 40.41 points, or 1.29 percent, at 3,171.58. The market shot higher at the start of the year after U.S. lawmakers were able to come to a last-minute agreement to avoid a national "fiscal cliff," but questions on spending cuts remain. President Barack Obama on Tuesday urged Congress to pass a small package of spending cuts and tax reforms. Though the plan was quickly rebuffed by Republican leaders, investors are looking for an agreement. With results in from more than half of the S&P 500 companies, 69 percent have beaten profit expectations, compared with the 62 percent average since 1994 and the 65 percent average over the past four quarters. Sixty-six percent of companies have beaten on revenue. Fourth-quarter earnings for S&P 500 companies are expected to rise 4.5 percent, according to the data, above the 1.9 percent forecast at the start of earnings season. On the down side, McGraw-Hill shares slumped 10.7 percent to $44.92 after the U.S. Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit seeking $5 billion over mortgage bond ratings. Standard & Poor's, a McGraw Hill unit, was accused of inflating ratings and understating risk out of a desire to gain more business from investment banks. Volume was roughly 6.7 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the NYSE MKT, compared with the 2012 average daily closing volume of about 6.45 billion. Advancers outpaced decliners on the NYSE by nearly 11 to 4 and on the Nasdaq by about 3 to 1. (Video Source: Reuters)

All right, gang, tell you what. What we are going to do. This is how this chapter is going to be divided up here. The first portion of the chapter I'm going to walk you through how the various Blur filters work, the Blur and Average filters because there's actually quite a few of them, many more than there are for sharpening. And so I'll just show you how they work using this sort of diagram file right here, Angry blocks. And then in the second-half of the chapter we'll get to some actual creative applications of these filters. So I have got the very first layer 1 TL selected and I have sized my Window so that we can compare the top couple of cyborgs here to the bottom ones, so if I press the End key notice my scroll bar moves to the bottom and if I press the Home key it moves to the top. And so I've got everybody perfectly aligned, and now we are seeing the bottom two, we are seeing 3 BL and 4 BR, and then when I go up we're seeing the top two, 1 TL and 2 TR. They just happened to be exactly aligned with each other.
All right, so 1 TL is active. I'm going to go on to the Filter menu. I'm going to choose Blur, and I'm going to choose this guy, this is the foremost of the Blur filters. If there was only one Blur filter inside of Photoshop, it would be this one. Gaussian Blur. And I've gone ahead and given it a keyboard shortcut of Shift+F7, if you loaded my Deke Keys, and it's a very, very simple function. It's as simple as High Pass that we just saw a moment ago in that it only has one value here, just the Radius value. But it's even simpler to understand because it's just going through and blurring neighboring pixels to the tune of that Radius value. So if I lower the Radius value and I'm pressing the Down Arrow key to do this. Then I would get a reduced Blur effect. That pretty much starts to disappear at something like 0.1, 0.2 and then starts to appear at 0.3.
And then if I raise the value, obviously I'm going to get a bigger Blur effect. Now I'm going to go ahead and take this value a pretty high, notice we're losing the face detail pretty well at this point. And they were creating a thoroughly blurry effect. I'm going to take it all the way to 20 pixels, just for the sake of comparison because we'll be applying a few other effects at 20 pixels. Actually, you know what, I think, I'll try 16, because there's another effect that's coming up pretty soon, it works better at 16. So we'll try 16 pixels here, and then I'll click OK in order to accept that effect.
Now the thing I want you to know is, in case you are wondering, hey, why isn't it just called Blur, why is it called Gaussian Blur of all things? Well, it's named after this Mathematician, Carl Friedrich Gauss. And the idea is we are taking advantage of a bell-shaped Gaussian curve in order to distribute the blurry effect here, which means we get a thorough amount of softening. Now imagine that we are blurring from Black to White. At first when we are blurring the black part there it will change very slowly, when we start getting into the middle portion we'll blur very quickly, we'd ramp very quickly through the grays and then we'd soften and then we blur very slowly again when we go into the whites.
So if you think about that, that's black blurring very slowly at first, very gradually. Then tapering quickly through the grays and then again very slowly through the whites, and so that's why we've got that Gaussian bell-shaped curve. I'm sort of tracing half a bell here, if you will, the right half of the bell with my cursor. And that's what's going on with the Gaussian Blur. Now why is that important? Well, it's important because it means that we have no perceptible edges. So in other words the image just appears to blur into nothingness, it blurs very evenly into its white background, making a perfect for things like Drop Shadows so that we don't have any discernible edges. If this was a so-called Linear Blur which we'll see in the next exercise, you would have edges and that is going to look quite unnatural in most circumstances. So Gaussian distribution of the Blur function in Photoshop was one of those first wonderful functions that put it over the top that made it The Image Editor of Choice for most professional artists.
Notice also in addition to blurring the layer, we have blurred the transparency mask, which is the transparency information associated with the layer. So if I was to go to the Background layer right here and I was to press Alt+Backspace or Option+Delete to fill it with black, you could see that the layer is still very softly blending into the new background color. So that's because we have a blurry transparency mask right here as well. All right, so I'll go ahead and undo that modification. Actually I'm going a back step to the original angry layer right there, Ctrl+Alt+Z or Command+Option+Z of course.
Now what if you don't want to blur the transparency mask? What would you do about that? Well, you could lock down the transparency right there at the top of the Layer palette, notice that guy, if you click on him you will lock the transparency, you get a lock icon, and now if I were to go back up to the Filter menu, choose Gaussian Blur right there, press Ctrl+F, Command+F on the Mac to re-apply those same settings, notice that I go ahead and blur the interior of the layer but the transparency of the layer remains exactly as it was before. In other words an opaque rectangle transparency around it.
Now I'll go ahead and undo that modification. I want you to see you also have a keyboard shortcut for this function, which is the slash key. So if I press the / key just watch the little icon right there. If I press the / key it unlocks. Press / again, it locks. So that's a regular / key there with the question mark, right. Down in the lower right corner of your keyboard, on an American keyboard anyway. All right, so I'm going to unlock it, reapply the filter by pressing Ctrl+F or Command+F on the Mac, that's 16 pixels worth of Gaussian Blur goodness there.
In the next exercise we are going to compare Gaussian Blur to a Linear Blur. Coming right up!

I have not been here in a long time but I was curious how your LO's are doing in regards to naps. Are they still taking them? If so, how long are they?
My DD is still taking naps. She goes to sleep at 8:30, wakes up at 7:00 (when we go to work, otherwise she will wake up between 7:30-8) and takes a nap from 1:30-3:30.
I am wondering if this is normal.

Why are my children, like, saying "like"?Jane Roper
I have terrible news: My girls have started saying "like."
As in: "We're, like, watching Word World, Mommy."
You're like watching it? What does that mean? Why are you saying "like"? Where did you learn that? You don't need that "like" in there! It sounds silly! You don't need "like" unless you're saying you like something! Or something looks like something else! I don't want to hear those "like"s!
These are among the things I've said to the girls recently when that insidious four-letter word pops up in their speech. It comes and goes, I notice. Sometimes they'll say it a few times in close proximity, like (!) they're trying it on for size. Then there will be days when they don't say it. I'm wondering if maybe someone at school says it. I'd like to think that's it.
But the sad truth is, I use it sometimes, too. Yes, I am known to my friends and associates as a bit of a grammer grammar and linguistics snob. But that doesn't mean I'm perfect. Only that I aim for perfection whenever possible. However, "like" slips into my speech, too.
As in: "We have, like, nothing in the fridge." Now, granted, this is sort of a comparative use of "like," but would a four-year-old pick up on that subtlety? Nay. And could I have said "We have almost / basically / next-to nothing in the fridge"? Yea.
So now I'm trying to be uber-careful about saying "like." When I do it, of course, I just sound like the urbane, educated and sophisticated but, you know, like, down-to-earth, super-cool woman that I am (cough, cough). But when the girls do it, they sound like tweens. Or six year olds, anyway. And I am just not ready for that. I mean, what's next? Justin Bieber posters? Copies of Twilight books scattered around the house? Birth Control?
So far, the girls haven't let any really bad four letter words slip. Well, that's not true: our babysitter reports that Clio pointed to something on the Christmas tree a few weeks ago and said "what the hell is that?" (Probably one of my vintage homemade God's eye ornaments, circa 1981.)
This is almost definitely my fault. I'd recently made a lion hand puppet say "what the hell is that." Seriously — am I an idiot, or what? I was just really getting into the part. He had this sort of tough guy, Brooklyn accent (the puppet) and it was just, like, something he would say. I hoped it wouldn't stick, but clearly it did.
I also have the bad habit of saying "Jesus," which I usually remember to shorten to "jeeze" most of the time. So the girls have been known to say "jeeze," which is frankly OK with me. As long as it's not "like, jeeze." That would be like, totally grody.
What unsavory words have slipped into your little ones' vocabularies? (And which ones are a result of your bad habits?) Have you had any success in your efforts to purge them, or is it a losing battle, like princesses and Barbie dolls? (And Justin Bieber).

The second half of September is a ripe time to touch base with the European grid and cloud communities. This week we are attending the EGI Technical Forum in Lyon, France where grids and cloud computing technologies are shaping new paradigms for European research and science endeavors. Five co-located events during the week will give us a sweeping overview of progress toward infrastructure goals in Europe.
During the International Supercomputing Conference, Bull's Matthew Foxton sounded an alarm bell for the European supercomputing community with his statement that all the R&D will not prove useful to Europe's future without a solid investment in the "D"–not just the "R".
A recent document from the University of Edinburgh outlined key challenges for Europe's future in high performance computing.
A European group that focuses on e-Science infrastructure has released a new draft report that demonstrates how cloud computing options are figuring into existing grid and distributed resource sharing paradigms.

In St. Louis, a day after the Cardinals lost Chris Carpenter for at least three more months, a pitcher making his seventh career start gave them a pick-me-up.
Braden Looper allowed a run in six innings, helping his punchless team beat Houston for only its second victory in eight games. He insists he wasn't trying to step up as the de facto ace.
"It's tough enough to go out there and get these guys out and it's too easy to go out and make mistakes to guys like Lance Berkman and Carlos Lee," Looper said. "If you're thinking about something else, they're going to make you pay.
"Today was definitely one of those days that felt like I didn't have my best stuff, but I was able to battle through it and make a few good pitches when I really needed to."
Scott Rolen snapped an 0-for-25 slump with a two-run single in a three-run fourth against Chris Sampson (3-2) for the Cardinals, last in the National League in runs. Ryan Ludwick, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Memphis when Preston Wilson went on the 15-day disabled list with a knee injury earlier in the day, added a run-scoring groundout.
The Cardinals have been outscored 52-13 the last eight games, somehow taking two of three from Houston despite scoring all six runs in the series in only two innings.

John Piper: 'Game of Thrones' Fans 'Recrucifying Christ'
John Piper, a pastor and author who says tornadoes are sent by God to punish sin, and who denounced the "Boston Strong" motto adopted after the marathon bombing as "evil" because it was "God-neglecting, God-ignoring, God-minimizing, human-exalting, city-exalting, nation-exalting," has now decreed that Christians who watch the popular cable TV show "Game of Thrones" are "recrucifying Christ."
Piper, of course, isn't worried about the sometimes gruesome violence in the movie, but about nudity, which he says is never necessary for good art.
Piper's decree came in response to questions he received in an episode of "Ask Pastor John" about pornography, nudity in films, and whether Christians should watch Game of Thrones.
The closer I get to death and meeting Jesus personally face to face, and giving an account for my life and for the careless words that I have spoken (Matthew 12:36), the more sure I am of my resolve never intentionally to look at a television show or a movie or a website or a magazine where I know I will see photos or films of nudity. Never. That is my resolve. And the closer I get to death, the better I feel about that, and the more committed I become.
Frankly, I want to invite all Christians to join me in this pursuit of greater purity of heart and mind. In our day, when entertainment media is virtually the lingua franca [common language] of the world, this is an invitation to be an alien. And I believe with all my heart that what the world needs is radically bold, sacrificially loving, God-besotted, "freaks" and aliens. In other words, I am inviting you to say no to the world for the sake of the world.
The world does not need more cool, hip, culturally savvy, irrelevant copies of itself. That is a hoax that has duped thousands of young Christians. They think they have to be hip, cool, savvy, culturally aware, watching everything in order not to be freakish. And that is undoing them morally and undoing their witness.
Piper encourages Christians who are considering watching anything that might present them with nudity to ask themselves 12 questions, the first of which is, "Am I Recrucifying Christ?"
