It's been a great year for movies, which generally means it's been a great year for movie-related merchandise -- and there's no shortage of cool movie toys and more for the holidays.
This year's list includes something for everybody, all the way from $10 movie toys to $500 high-end movie collectibles.
Of course, 2012 has been all about superheroes, and thanks to the success of "The Dark Knight Rises," "The Avengers" and "The Amazing Spider-Man," the demand has been high for that piece of merchandise that will help fans treasure their movie memories.
Apart from the DVDs and Blu-rays of the films (and let's face it, if you're buying for a movie fan, they probably own them already), there are several ancillary products that are worth checking out.
Hasbro, which has the license to "The Avengers" toy line, has available the perfect vehicle/play set for its cool line of 3.75-inch action figures with its S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, which when fully assembled is a fun playground for Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Nick Fury. Of course, no set of heroes would be complete without a set of villains to compliment them, so there are Loki and Chitauri figures to take on Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Also from Hasbro are 3.75-inch figures from "The Amazing Spider-Man," although the choices from the line are narrowed down to Spider-Man and The Lizard. The company has also produced the characters in different scales, including a 12-inch Motorized Web Shooting Spider-Man that shoots faux webs at a Lizard target. Spidey is also represented, along with oodles of other Marvel Universe heroes and villains, in the fun Bonka Zonks collectibles and online game.
Mattel is the toy licensee behind "The Dark Knight Rises," and the coolest offering in their line is without question their 6-inch Movie Masters line, which includes Batman, Bane, Catwoman, Officer John Blake, Ra's Al-Ghul and Bruce Wayne's loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth.
And apart from the fact that we're getting cool action figures of actors like Michael Caine, each figure comes with a piece where you can build Batman's Bat Signal -- which lights up, to boot.
If you're into the higher-end stuff, Sideshow Collectibles has both "The Avengers" and "The Dark Knight Rises" covered through its distribution partnership with 12-inch figure-maker Hot Toys.
Better yet, Hot Toys has also done vehicles for "The Dark Knight Rises," including a 12-inch scale Batpod and Tumbler (Batmobile).
Sideshow/Hot Toys has several movies licenses covered, and among their more recent releases are an impressive 18-inch tall figure of Jake Sully from "Avatar," and an amazing 12-inch scale figure of Sam Flynn on his lightcycle from "Tron: Legacy."
The great thing about Sideshow is that they also produced large scale "Premium Format" figures based on classic releases, including the granddaddy of sci-fi films with the "Star Wars" trilogy.
Among the coolest offerings is a piece that stands nearly 2 feet tall -- Han Solo, encased in Carbonite. The stand even lights up and the Carbonite block can light up with an orange glow to simulate the scene before Han is freed from his carbon-frozen state.
Like Sideshow, the National Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA) is also a specialty figure-maker, and falls on the lower end of the price scale. If the figure collector you're shopping for is a Ridley Scott fan, the company is in the process of releasing its "Prometheus" line, starting with an Engineer and Engineer-suited 8-inch figures. They're great figural representations from a great sci-fi film.
Take a look these products and more in the cool movie toys for 2012 slideshow.

Paris Hilton: "I can't stand black guys"
Well, in case you didn't hear, Paris Hilton just "can't stand black guys"…
Did she say this to the press recently? Nope.
Words that Paris said back in 1999 have come back to haunt her.
So what's the deal?
American journalist, author, and ghost writer Neil Strauss has a new book that's releasing this week called Everyone Loves You When You're Dead. Los Angeles' local alternative paper, LA Weekly, gives a great summary of the book:
The tome reveals shocking things about -and intimate moments with- the author's vast array of interview subjects over the years: Lady Gaga bawling over an ex-boyfriend, Courtney Love considering snorting Kurt Cobain's ashes ala Keith Richards (this one's already making the gossip site rounds) , Dave Navarro's penchant for $2000 hookers, Marilyn Manson's grave gigging jollies (Strauss co-wrote MM's autobio, "Long Hard Road Outta Hell"), Julian Casablancas' dickishness, Snoop Dogg blunt bonanzas (okay the last three aren't so shocking) and various rock stars' beefs, fetishes (peeing, toes), and penchants for drugs and booze… which, by the way, no one chose to hide while they were being recorded and observed for press!
One thing that Strauss decided to leave out was a hate letter from Phil Collins.
One thing that Strauss decided to publish was a run-in with Paris he had back in 1999, during which Paris decided to take a hit of ecstasy, brag about her boob job that she got when she was 14 (and how her mom made her remove them), explain how she wanted to pose for Playboy (and tell her dad about it, so he would pay her twice as much NOT to pose), and… point out which guy she made out with (but stopped when he saw him in the light and noticed he was black).
Here's an excerpt from Strauss' book:
In 1999, shortly after moving to Los Angeles to cover pop culture for the New York Times, I ended up in a room with someone I'd never heard of before. She seemed to embody young Hollywood. She didn't want to be an actress, a singer, or a star – though she would soon become all three. The art form she'd chosen to embrace was partying. She was with a model friend of hers and talking about performing a sex show together for someone named Artie the previous night, then taking dirty photographs afterward. In the background as we spoke, the movie Saving Private Ryan was playing. After this conversation, she proceeded to get drunk on Midori sours (each with six cherries in the glass), make out with David Faustino of Married… with Children, take a hit of ecstasy, play Britney Spears songs practically nonstop, and have a threesome. Maybe she said what follows for provocation and shock value. Maybe she didn't. You decide…
PARIS HILTON: I had a breast job when I was fourteen, but my mother made me take them out.
How old are you now?
HILTON: I'm eighteen.
Are you working?
HILTON: I'm thinking about posing for Playboy. They love famous people's kids.
Like who?
HILTON: I don't know. And the only reason I'd do it is because when my dad finds out, he'll pay me double the money not to do it.
HILTON: I went out with that guy last night.
Which guy?
HILTON (points to an actor in Saving Private Ryan): We were making out, but then we went somewhere where it was bright and saw that he was black and made an excuse and left. I can't stand black guys. I would never touch one. It's gross (pauses) . Does that guy look black to you?
How black does a guy have to be?
HILTON: One percent is enough for me.
And there it is. This is how words from the past are slapping Miss Hilton in the face.
Party like it's 1999.

Summary: I managed to get Tibetan script rendering accurately on Android, even without Complex Script support, thanks to a Tibetan Unicode font with support for the GB/T20524-2006 standard.
Since I've been studying Tibetan, and have started programming on Android, I thought I'd try out Nathan Freitas' instructions on enabling Tibetan font support in Android. I'm not going to duplicate his instructions here, but they involve rooting your phone and installing a Tibetan Unicode font to replace the built-in DroidSansFallback font, used to display Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
However, once I got it working, I realized that, though the characters were indeed Tibetan, they weren't properly laid out. Tibetan is a fairly complex language to render properly, since it allows for quite complex vertical stacks of characters with idiosyncratic joining rules. Here is an example, taken from a supplication to Tara, showing how it was originally rendered on my cell phone:
If you don't know Tibetan, that could look decent (and certainly mysteriously beautiful), so let me show the end result, how it's supposed to look:
Note that the letters don't overlap anymore, and some of them have changed shape to accommodate their companions. For example, the first syllable, an OM, has had its accents adjusted so they don't overlap, and the shape of the NA-RO, the seagull-like accent, has been changed to anchor it off of the middle line. The second syllable has more drastic changes, where the RA is simplified to blend in with the JA below it properly. In the third syllable, the SHAB-KYU, the hook accent underneath, has been moved up snug to its letter. The last major change is toward the end, where a RA subscript has been moved down to join up properly with the bottom of its stack.
Though the individual glyphs were being rendered perfectly, they were not being combined properly. It turns out the need for better language support is a long-standing complaint about Android, and is in the Issues list as #5925. Comment 15 is a very good description by an unidentified Google engineer of the core problems with Complex Script Support. (If you'd like to encourage Android to support this properly, please add a comment to that issue.) The main problem is that, though FreeType (used in Android for font rendering) renders fonts perfectly, there is no support for the ligatures necessary to render complex writing systems such as Arabic, Thai, Devanagiri, and Tibetan.
Chris Fynn is one of the main people who's been working on Tibetan Unicode standards, and his font, Jomolhari, is my favorite Tibetan font (you can see it in the above pictures, and it's available under the Open Font License). He helped with Tibetan rendering in Pango, HarfBuzz, and ICU, any of which would render Tibetan properly, but none of these have yet been integrated into Android. He lives in Bhutan, and I met him when I visited there.
Chris mentioned that there is a less-well-known Tibetan text encoding named GB/T20524-2006, which resides in the 0xF300 to 0xF8FF space. The "right way" to handle Tibetan has always been to combine glyphs on the fly. However, since the Chinese are used to having a separate encoding of each unique combination of characters, they created a Chinese National Standard using the Unicode Private Use Area (PUA) to encode each combination of Tibetan glyphs as a single precomposed ligature. Chris implemented support for this in Jomolhari partly in an effort to get Tibetan fonts working properly in some products (such as Adobe InDesign and Photoshop) that didn't fully support Tibetan at the time.
He suggested using Andrew West's BabelPad, which is a Unicode text editor that also supports all sorts of interesting conversions (including rewriting various Tibetan, Mongolian, Manchu, and Vietnamese encodings as Unicode), to re-encode whatever I wanted to display in Tibetan. This worked once I installed Jomolhari on the handset as the DroidSansFallback.tff font.
I realized that, using Android's WebView and WebViewClient classes, I could build a Tibetan web browser that intercepted url requests, downloaded the HTML, and rewrote any Tibetan Unicode as precomposed characters. I would just have to implement a massive conversion table to do it. Fortunately, Andrew West gave me a code sample in C++ that implemented this 1500-line table, and I was able to quickly port it to Java. (BTW, for future reference, don't cut-and-paste large C++ code files directly into Eclipse's java editor. It grinds away for a long time, patiently highlighting all the syntax errors for you, before it lets you fix any of them.) It worked the first time I got it to compile, resulting in a beautiful, properly rendered web page.
I'm planning to clean up the rough edges on the browser, and release that code soon as the seed of a Tibetan open-source Android suite. I thought that I'd make the Java code implementing the conversion available right away, even though it could also use some optimizing & clean-up, so that others can work with it. It's available at:
It's very easy to use:
composedData = TibConvert.convertUnicodeToPrecomposedTibetan(data);
I look forward to being able to help out with other useful Tibetan apps, such as a custom keyboard, IM and e-mail apps, and a dictionary. Please contact me if you're interested in working together on these types of things.
I've really been enjoying the Android development process. Running code and debugging code directly on the handset is working well, and I like how the libraries are structured. This might be what it takes for me to get back into having fun with developing client-side Java.
May there be a great flourishing of Tibetan apps on the Android! Ge-lek pel!
BTW, I spent some time trying to get Tibetan font support working on a stock Android phone, without having to root it, using the font embedding technique described here. I couldn't get it to work (just lots of beautiful boxes showing up instead of Tibetan), but they say that some fonts just don't work to embed. Of course, embedding a 2.2MB font inside an app might be pushing the envelope a bit, but it would be great if someone could get this to work. Though it appears that the only widgets you can set the font for are TextView widgets, so you wouldn't get a web browser that way, and you'd also have to re-implement a new widget set derived from TextView to get it to show up properly.
§ 12 Responses to "Proper Rendering of Tibetan in Android"
I have been properly schooled and feel the better for it. Amazing work, and exactly the kind of momentum I hoped my initial post would generate.
I also think the idea of an open-source suite of Tibetan-enabled Android applications is a great idea. I've been calling this the "KarmapaPhone", both in reference to the legendary ObamaPhone, and in reverence to the technological sophistication of His Holiness, the 17th Karmapa.
important and beautiful work.

Univision Network Anchor María Elena Salinas, the most recognized Hispanic female journalist in the United States, reached a major milestone last year when she marked her 25th anniversary with Univision, the fifth largest television network in the U.S. and the country's leading Spanish-language television broadcasting company. Called by the New York Times, "the voice of Hispanic America", Salinas has informed millions of Hispanics in the United States and 18 countries in Latin America. As co-anchor of the highly rated "Noticiero Univision" and the primetime news magazine "Aqui y Ahora", Salinas has handled some of the most challenging assignments in modern day journalism.
Salinas' work has earned her several journalistic awards including three national and one regional Emmys. She was also part of the Univision news team that received the Edward R. Murrow Award for the network's coverage of the Atlanta Olympic Park bombings. Salinas has reported from the White House to the Kremlin, from the O.J. Simpson trial in Los Angeles to the funeral of Princess Diana in London and from earthquake-ravaged El Salvador to the war torn streets of Baghdad. In the past 2 decades Salinas covered over a dozen papal trips including Pope John Paul II's historic visit to Cuba and his moving funeral. She has also conducted several White House interviews with U.S. presidents, and been face to face with dozens of Latin American leaders, rebels, and dictators. In 2004 Salinas co- hosted the first ever bi-lingual national debate among democratic presidential hopefuls on Hispanic issues.
Salinas' influence reaches beyond television. She also holds vast experience on national radio, and recently became one of the few Hispanic syndicated columnists in the United States in over 50 publications in both Spanish and English. In 2006, her autobiographical book entitled "I am my Father's Daughter: A Life Without Secrets" was published, receiving critical acclaim and making the best seller lists for Spanish-language books on several occasions. Beyond her journalistic work, Salinas is also a tireless advocate for Hispanics in the United States. Her in-depth coverage of immigration reform has drawn accolades from government leaders and immigration advocates. On radio, she spearheaded a national campaign to motivate Hispanic students to stay in school. For the last 4 presidential elections, Salinas has led campaigns to promote citizenship, voter registration, and get out the vote efforts. She has worked with the U.S. Departments of Health and Education on issues ranging from the importance of immunization for young children, to the risks of heart disease and parental involvement in education. In 2000, Salinas launched a scholarship in her name to be awarded to a Hispanic journalism student interested in pursuing a career in Spanish language media.
Her brand of advocacy journalism has earned her awards and recognition from important groups such as the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, and the National Organization for Women that honored her with the coveted Intrepid Award. Salinas has been featured as one of the "100 Most Influential Hispanics" in the United States in Hispanic Magazine and People En Español, and was named one of the top 15 Most Influential Hispanics among Latino voters in a poll conducted by Hispanic Voter Trends.
María Elena is a former vice president and founding member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, where she has been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and has been a featured speaker at media and women's conferences throughout the country. Born in Los Angeles to Mexican immigrant parents, Salinas began her broadcasting career in radio in Southern California. She switched to television in 1981 when she joined KMEX-TV, the Univision station in Los Angeles, as a news anchor. Salinas resides in Coral Gables, Florida, with her two daughters, Julia Alexandra and Gabriela María.

Comments: I recently did the Diablo 50k on these shoes and I will be stocking up on these in the event they discontinue it! The only comment I have is the lace is kinda stretchy which is hard to set the tightness. No problem, I just replaced it with a much less stretchy lace. Ranniedv, Concord, CA USA
From: Ranniedv, Concord, CA, USA
Comments: I've done 3 runs with them and so far its been rubbing my Achilles area and blistering. I've had issues with some other shoes too so maybe i have weird feet. overall they are comfortable if they didn't rub there. Traction is good, drainage is OK. They seem to breathe well and the laces are a tiny bit stretchy so they stay ties w/o double knots. side to side response is good if laced tightly enough. Has a fairly wide toe box relative to my normal width foot, but not so much so that it is a problem. Appears to run true to size.
From: Greg, East Peoria, IL, USA
Comments: I bought these shoes locally today and they felt so right I immediately broke them in on a 2 hour snowy trail run. These might not be the most minimalist trail shoes out there but they are very flexible, comfortable and have a low (4mm) heel to toe drop. I felt very in control on snow, uneven surfaces, mud, downhills, uphills, rocks and even going up and down long icy wooden staircases. Switched to this from the Asics Sky Speed II...a great shoe, but not suitable for trails. Xodus also has a little place to tuck in your laces and the rock plate felt very effective and flexible when met with the occasional sharply protruding object. Also has a very wide and roomy toebox which is great if you run midfoot/forefoot like I do. GET THIS SHOE! My only regret is that I couldn't wait to buy it from RW when in the States as none beats RW prices.
From: Raphael, Edmonton, AB, Canada
Comments: I was happy with the 2.0, but I really like the 4mm heel to toe on this version. Out of the box I went on a 6 mile trail run. The cushioning was superb - not too much or too little. The shoe gripped well on the log and mud infested trail. I'm not a big fan of the looks. The shoe looks too busy and I'm not sure if all of the "stuff" is needed. They are now covered with mud so it really doesn't matter. I switched from Nike to saucony about 2 years ago and am now a customer for life. Good update on the shoe.
From: Bob, Olympia, WA, USA
Comments: Took my first run on the Xodus 3.0 today. First off, the shoe looks great (red). The perceived quality and value is really high as well. I also run in the Inov-8 Roclite 285 and like it but it looks like you're getting a lot more for the same money with the Saucony. The low heel-to-toe height is definitely noticeable and it's amazing how it's hard to run slow when landing on your mid-foot because your cadence is higher and your body feels more engaged than with heel striking. I can hammer technical downhills because the shoes have cushion and protection - not something I get from the Inov8's. This shoe really has it all: low heel-to-toe (but not too low), cushioning, protection, and unmatched looks. I'm a fit and fast 33 year old trail runner and yes, the looks of the shoe do matter to me.
From: John, Ayer, MA, US
Comments: This shoe has it all, it felt lightweight when running fast. it has an awesome vibram outsole that grips well in sloppy conditions but doesn't cake up with mud like other trail shoes. the rock plate is great for when you step on a branch or rock, it flexes and moves well. it fits well from heel to toe, having a cushioned responsive ride giving you great feedback with each step. the toe box is nice and wide for when your on the balls of your feet. not a single problem..took the straight out of the box and ran a fast/muddy 10miler. A+ for me.

I've been pumping for a couple of months, and one my milk separated, it was still cream-colored, and had a ton (1/2 inch) of cream at the top.
Last week, my milk went from that really rich color and cream ratio to light-blue with just a ribbon of cream at the top. I thought it was because I got sick and was so tired, but it hasn't gone back. I haven't' changed how I've been eating. Was that my body changing to accommodate the baby's need, or did something else happen?

Tastemaker: Katharine Brown; From hobbyist to flower professional
Katharine Brown has been gardening all her life, growing up in Colorado (with its short growing season); later, working in a nursery in New Hampshire; and then, after moving to Oregon Township, Wayne County, PA, turning her yard into a large and ever-expanding flower garden. Her personal passion for growing flowers now flourishes as a successful small business—selling cut flowers; making arrangements and bouquets for all occasions; and offering consulting on garden design, plus helping with installation and construction. It's part of a larger business named Fox Hill Farm Experience, Inc. in which she and her husband, George Brown, raise beef cattle and occasionally welcome tourists to their farm. Katharine's sense of design has made her talents much in demand.
Recently, we sat down with Katharine Brown to hear her story and to learn what we could about flowers.
An interview with JANE BOLLINGER
Personal story
Q: How did it come about that you turned your yard over to flowers?
A: Ten years ago George and I bought the farm from my father-in-law. It was a complete blank slate—three maple trees, a rundown shack, a garage and a house. That was it. Having gardened all my life—which sounds crazy because I'm from Colorado, where there's a three-month growing season—I thought, now is the chance for me to garden. So, every season, I put in a new bed.
One weekend George was out of town, and I purchased a tractor because it was 0% APR financing. Also, I had a neighbor who had manure. For me, those were the key ingredients: a tractor and good manure.
After our two children were born, I took time off from teaching, but I couldn't sit still, and I started doing bouquets from the garden. People started asking me to help with their gardens. Then, I started doing the farmers' market. It just kept building.
Now, people call me for bouquets for birthdays and other special occasions. I'm doing more weddings—it's really fun to be part of that couple's happy day. Finally, I'm doing quite a bit of garden design.
Q: How did the business come about? Did you sit down and write a business plan?
A: I did. My husband, George, has a master's degree in business, and he's not one to let me just go off willy-nilly, although I try. We even incorporated—it's Fox Hill Farm Experience, Incorporated now.
Q: When you first started your gardens, was there a design plan?

Inuit Group Seeks Funding on Wall Street to Mine Nunavut for Metals, Minerals
An Inuit group from Canada's Nunavut territory comes to Wall Street today to pitch investors for financing for start-up mining and exploration projects in the Arctic, reported The Wall Street Journal.
Nunavut Resources Corporation (NRC) seeks to explore the 280,000-square-mile Kitikmeot Region of the Territory of Nunavut for metals and minerals. Approximately 32,000 people reside in the vast region roughly the size of Western Europe. The Inuit-owned land is "totally unexplored," said Charlie Evalik, the chairman of the NRC, and mining experts speak of its potential mineral riches.
This week, Evalik said he will met with New York-based private-equity investors, as well as Eric Sprott, chief investment officer at Sprott Asset Management, in Toronto.
"The financing will be a challenge, but I think it will come," Evalik told the WSJ.
NRC seeks an additional $17 million Canadian dollars ($17.3 million U.S. dollars) for its project with HTX Minerals Corp., a privately held Canadian mining company, to extract mine gold, silver, copper, zinc, diamonds and other metals and minerals from the Nunavut region.
The companies recently received a $1 million boost from its parent organization, Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA), to start preparations for the mineral exploration program in 2013, reported Mining Weekly. KIA and other parties created NRC as a fully Inuit-owned economic development corporation. NRC was registered and incorporated in Nunavut and Alberta in March 2010.
"The seed funding from KIA demonstrates Inuit commitment to taking a leadership role in resource development," Evalik said in a press release. "This investment allows us to begin generating exploration projects that will also help further demonstrate the immense potential of the region and our alliance strategy. Our alliance with HTX Minerals, and the investment in it, will help accelerate the discovery of economic ore deposits and could lead to employment and business opportunities, much greater investments in infrastructure and training."
Nunavut, meaning "Our Land," was created on April 1, 1999, through the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, the largest Aboriginal land claim settlement in Canadian history. The semi-autonomous territory has a public government serving both Inuit and non-Inuit. A 1993 settlement awarded the Inuit title to 19 percent of the land of Nunavut, and included transferring about 2 percent of the minerals rights to the Inuit.

New DOH director sets goals to upgrade services
Retired U.S. Army CSM Motusa Tuileama To'atolu Nua was unanimously confirmed in the House in a 19-0 vote and a passing vote of 14-2 in the Senate, as director of the Department of Health.
The one hour confirmation hearing was held yesterday before the House Health/Public Health Committee chaired by Rep Maugaoalii Sipa Anoa'I, where issues pertaining to NCD, Health Regulatory Board, a clinic in Aunu'u, and house visits by DoH nurses were discussed.
The newly confirmed health director informed the Representatives that a team from DoH will be heading out to Manu'a on March 3, 2013 to conduct home visits and assessing the health needs of every one in Manu'a.
All the representatives who spoke during the hearing praised Motusa given his long term service in the military and returning home to serve the people and government of American Samoa. His announcement of their visit to Manu'a came after Aunu'u lawmaker Rep Talaimatai Su'a asked if they are looking at building a clinic in Aunu'u, seeing as there are health clinics in Leone, Tafuna and Amouli.
Rep Talaimatai said that often, due to bad weather and rough seas, the people of Aunu'u who need medical treatment are not able to cross over to Tutuila.
Motusa informed lawmakers that in two weeks, after returning from Manu'a, they will also visit Aunu'u to conduct health assessments for the villagers and they will also try to find a place to store oxygen tanks, first aid packages and other medication needed for emergencies, until the patients are able to cross over to Tutuila Island during bad weather.
He added that they will also conduct home visits to villages for the elderly people who refuse to go to the hospital.
The issues surrounding Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) was brought to Motusa's attention by Tualauta Rep Larry Sanitoa. The lawmaker said that the most critical problem in the territory is people's health, noting there was bilateral summit held last year November, which highlighted a lot of the critical issues facing the territory.
"It was then revealed to no surprise that our people are dying young and also that 60% of death in our community in 2010 was caused by NCD's, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems and over the past three years diabetes is the number one killer in our community. It was also revealed that American Samoa is the fattest country in the world.
Aside from the financial situation, health would be the number one issue in the territory, he said, adding, " aside from personal impact to family it has a huge impact on our government"
"If we are talking about economic development- it's very difficult when you have a sick community".
Sanitoa told Motusa that the number one priority for the DoH should be prevention and the lack of a national plan is a reality that should be closely monitored given the health status of the territory.
Motusa explained that he has met with members of the cancer coalition and was informed that he is the Chairman of the NCD board, and upon receiving this information he immediately called a meeting with NCD members within the DoH. He also stated that NCD is top priority and they will continue to move forward and meet with health officials from Samoa regarding prevention.
Sanitoa asked Motusa regarding the status of the mandated health regulatory board which is chaired by the Director of Health. This board licenses all the doctors, physicians and nurses. Sanitoa inquired if there is a US certified Medical Doctor with the DoH. Motusa was unable to answer the question but stated that he will meet with the medical director and LBJ officials regarding this issue.
He assured the lawmakers that he will make sure the mandated health regulatory board will be active and should include two doctors from LBJ, two doctors from DoH, two nurses, the DoH Director and maybe a pharmacist.
Rep Vui Florence Saulo asked Motusa if he is looking at increasing medical services at the Health Center in Tafuna, given that Tualauta is where the majority of the population resides. Motusa said there is a goal set in place for increasing the medical services provided at all three medical centers, and that if another facility is needed, they will work to have another clinic.
"The DoH will start expanding their services with the laboratory, Xray, Dental Service and the pharmacy because these are the reasons why the elderly people are not coming to the clinics— because their services are limited in these areas" he said.
He further stated that they will be working closely with EMS to transport elderly patients who have no form of transportation and he also noted that there is space available at each of the clinics for EMS technicians to be stationed.
Regarding medical treatment for elderly people who refuse to go see the doctor, Motusa explained that the goal he has in place is to have four home visit teams for the Tafuna health center, and two teams in the Leone and Amouli clinics and between Monday and Friday, they will conduct home visits for the elderly people and reports will be compiled from these visits.
Rep Lemapu Talo Suiaunoa asked Motusa what his thoughts are on the law that disallows youth, 18 and under, to be tested for HIV, "should they be tested?" he asked, given this disease is alarming.
"In Guam teenagers can be tested yet here in the territory it's banned" said Lemapu.
Motusa noted that he will bring up this issue with DoH, Department of Human Social Services and the LBJ hospital. He added that if there is a need to change the law, a proposal will be made to the governor and to the legislature. "Currently there is no HIV case in the territory and we will meet with DHSS and LBJ regarding this matter" he said.
Lemapu advised Motusa to be mindful of the employees and to treat them fairly "they are the ones to carry out the mission and for the vision to be accomplished, these are the people who will make it happen… with your guidance".
Vice Speaker noted that there's confusion within the dispensary in Manu'a, when a patient needs to be medivaced over, the DoH and LBJ are pointing fingers at each other as to who will pay the cost and urged Motusa to look into this critical issue that is causing confusion.
The lawmakers heard that the DoH housing in Faga'alu is no longer safe and DoH will seek assistance from the Capital Improvement Plan for a new building.
Motusa held many positions in the military, including Command Sergeant Major for the Western Regional Medical Command, Pacific Regional Medical Command, 44th Medical Command, and 52nd Medical Battalion.

- Abstract
- Under the conditions of vectorial diffraction, an increase in refraction at the extremities of the lens rotates the incident polarization state which transfers energy from the initial state to the orthogonal transverse field and the longitudinal field, which is known as depolarization. Since the field is a vectorial field containing three polarization components, the theory for the degree of coherence is first extended to incorporate cross-correlation effects within these vectorial components which are calculated through a coherency matrix. The use of this matrix provides an insight into interesting correlation effects between copropagating vectorial fields such as the coupled modes (linear polarized modes) of the supercontinuum generated by a photonic crystal fiber. An investigation is presented on the coherence times for the supercontinuum field generated by cross coupling into the photonic crystal fiber. The coherence times under cross-coupling conditions show that the degree of coherence of the two coupled modes from the fiber are different, which is due to the differences in phase. For a supercontinuum with a linear polarization state, the coherence times along the x, y, and z axes are different, with the most significant change occurring along the optical axis (z) where the coherence time changes by an order of magnitude when the numerical aperture is increased from 0.1 to 1.

In-Process Nitrate Analyzer (Probe)
Hi everyone,
We are considering adding an in-process nitrate probe to our treatment process. Any suggestions? We have researched the HACH products. We have to "go out to bid" due to the cost of these systems, so I need some other manufacturers.
Thanks for any info.
Ann M.
This is more than a nitrate analyzer, Applied Spectrometry Associates Inc. "Chem Scan"
The ChemScan or equal is what is named in our spec book. Has anyone seen one of these work?
You might consider Biochem - some of my customers have had good luck with them.
You don't need a Chemscan unit to give you the data that you want. Hach and Endress+Hauser both have combination insitu probes that measure ammonia and nitrate. The both work equally well and are accurate enough for process control. None are "maintenance free" but much less maintenance and lower capital cost when compared to Chemscan.
We have ChemScan and have been very reliable. They also do ammonia and phosphorus, that is where the real value is. The Hach optical nitrate meter is simple and cheap if that is all you want.

Another Complete Game Shut-Out For Magician, Cliff Lee
After a wild start where he walked the first batter on four pitches, Cliff Lee settled down in St. Louis and disposed of the Cardinals one batter at a time. The 4-0 shut-out win improves Lee's record to 8-5.
After tonight, Lee has pitched 23 consecutive scoreless innings. This was also his second consecutive complete game shut-out. While Lee had some shaky starts early on and trouble in road games, he seems to be in a groove now.
And Lee makes it look easy. It is as if he pulls a magic wand out of his hat, waves it and all is well. Abracadabra, you are OUT. The Cardinals were helpless against Magician Lee.
The Phillies offense had to contend with former Phillie, Kyle Lohse. And while they did not light the ballpark on fire, a few homers got the job done. In the 3rd inning, Jimmy Rollins hit a solo shot and Ryan Howard smacked a two-run homer.
In the 9th against the Cardinals bullpen, the Phillies added on one more run. Shane Victorino tripled and Chase Utley popped a sac fly to score him. In Tuesday night's game, the Phillies beat up on the Cards bullpen to the tune of nine runs in the 8th inning.
Some more good news involves Placido Polanco. After getting hit in the hand with a pitch yesterday, Polly is just fine and started today's game. He went 1-3 at the plate and played solid defense. Polly seems to be just fine.
Roy Oswalt will pitch on Thursday night; game time is 8:15pm.

I love the stuff that you do with photoshop! lol. Great photo!
Games at 8:15 p.m. are so weird to me. Ours in LA start at 7:10 p.m for weeknight games. Well, at least for the first game when I am in Minnesota next week, I'll be thinking is 5 ish.. when the game starts.
Have a great time in Toronto! I saw the Red Sox there a few years back when work sent me there to take a class.

The prompt for this week is a doozy, at least for me:
July 6th 1885 was when Louis Pasteur successfully treated a boy with a rabies vaccine. This plaque in Arbois is one side of a pillar dedicated to Pasteur and his achievements. Expect to see commemorative plaques aplenty, group portraits, or even mad dogs! Yikes!
I put my thunkin' hat on and thunk and thunk Finally, Barny, the Barn Owl flew across my mind. Twas a while ago, and the the photo is not sepia, but it is faded and yellowed. Not Pastuer, or vaccines, or plaques, but I amgoing to tell you all the saga of when Doc introduced me to Barney.
|Doc Hill with Barney, the Barn Owl;
wing healed and ready to fly
JGH & Roots'n'Leaves Archives
The problem being, it was fall and elk season was rapidly approaching. Amid stacks of guns,camping gear, stores of food, he deposited Barney in a corner of the laundry room. Barny was still relegated to cage rest, and needed to be fed daily.
"Hon, you don't mind feeding Barney while I am gone, do you?" Sounded like a question, but I knew that it was more of a directive. Clinic staff did not feed and clean cages of a non-paying patient. Veterinarian's wives and children usually got that job. Our kids were grown, so the job was on my plate. In those days, elk hunting trips were at least 10 days in length, and two weeks, if Doc could get adequate coverage for his practice.
"What do I do need to do for the owl?" I sqwaked.
"Just clean his cage every day and I put some frozen mice in the freezer," he tossed back off handedly as he continued packing his rig. "Might want to thaw the mice in the microwave. Don't think he will he frozen mice."
With such minimal direction given, Doc climbed in his rig and headed out to meet his hunting buddies. And I was left with the bird, his wing still securely wrapped close to his body. No, indeed, Barney did not like frozen mice. Nor did he like thawed frozen mice, or dead mice. His preference ran to live little critters, warm bodied mice, to kill and crunch upon. I haunted the pet stores for their supply of baby mice, amidst snickers, "Guess what Doc did this time?"
"He'd better get home soon if he knows what's good for him"
"Doc's wife don't look too happy these days."
Doc came home with meat for the freezer and stories to last till next hunting season. Barney was still alive. And I was so pleased to get rid of my feathered charge that I greeted Doc warmly and gave him a run down of my patient's progress.
Soon it was time to start exercising Barney so that he could be released into the wild. For some reason, I was still in charge of Barney's recuperation. Tried flying him on a line attached to a jess on his leg. Not too successful, as Barney was too fast and strong for the garage bit. Next, Doc told me to attach a long fishing line to his jess. So on Barney's maiden flight outside, he was indeed attached to fishing line. Doc held Barney on his arm. I tentatively held the fishing pole with the line attached. In my mind, I thought Barney would fly around me in a circle -- rather like a kid's airplane. This was not Barney's idea. When Doc tossed him in the air, Barney took off as far and as fast as the line would let him. He settled in a tree, quite some distance away. Obviously, his wing was healed and in good shape.
"What do I do now?," I asked with the fishing pole in my hand and Barney in a tree, glaring down at me.
"Just wait him out, hon. When he starts to fly, start reeling him in, slowly."
Finally, Barney took off from his perch, I reeled him in without getting him tangled in any branches. Barney spent the night in his cage and the next morning, we took the cage outside and Barney marched out the open door, and took flight.
I had the illusion that Barney would come back, fly over our house, and maybe dip his wings in a show of affection or gratitude. No, that is the story book version. Our Barney, took flight and never looked back.
By the way, a couple of years later, when cleaning out the freezer, I found a package labled, "Mice." Such is the freezer of a veterinarian's wife. Now check out what other fare provided by our Sepians.

4K yellow hands and green trees
I have to admit that seeing the sea of yellow hands being held up by the hopeful citizens last night made me smile. It reminded me of an evening in the spring of 2003 when a group I was involved in earnestly held up little green trees during a common council meeting.
Our neighborhood was passionate about saving our Kinsey Park woods from an 8 foot wide asphalt bike road. We worked hard as a neighborhood, petitioning, leafleting the neighborhood, speaking before the council and parks department meetings, lobbying the aldermen and meeting with the mayor.
All that work culminated in a council vote one night. During that meeting, whenever an alderman said something against our plan, the sea of trees were held high and waved. Fortunately for us, we prevailed with a 7-6 vote.
Seeing the yellow hands last night reminded me of my experience 4 years ago. I had to laugh to myself how holding up that little green tree changed my life so.
My Kinsey Park issue was what sparked my interest in local politics and life has not been the same since!
The Kinsey Park issue also marked a turning point in local politics. It was only the 2nd incident, in recent times, that the public swayed the political process.
Since that time there have been a few more times that the public made their voices heard loud and clear.
Our Common Council votes are no longer 12-2 in favor of the mayor's agenda. The School Board demonstrated last night that they are willing to make the tough decisions.
I hope that people will step forward to run for the council and board positions open this spring. It would be such a shame to go back to business as usual.

25 years ago today, Renato's opened
- 5:47 pm Thursday, December 27th, 2012 by M.M. Cloutier
The late Palm Beach restaurateur Renato Desiderio once said, "Being a restaurateur is like being a host at a villa."
And so it was when, 25 years ago today, the tall and dashing Capri, Italy native opened an eponymous restaurant in historic, Mediterranean-style Via Mizner.
To this day, Renato's—one of few restaurants on the island with two-plus decades under the same family ownership—remains a benchmark for fine dining on the island. It's widely considered among the most romantic restaurants to ever grace Palm Beach.
Desiderio opened Renato's in bougainvillea-accented Via Mizner on Dec. 27, 1987, after having been the popular, polished matire d' at now-gone [More]

My baby (second child) is 7 weeks old tomorrow. Last night he had a huge poop! I have never seen one so big. It filled his whole diaper! It had normal color and texture but it was excessively huge. He usually has smaller poops just before each feeding and a couple larger ones in the evening. He has yet to poop today, but has had plenty of toots.
He eats good (BF only), is content, and has wet diapers at every feed which is around every three hours.
Maybe it was from what I ate? I did have quite a bit of fibrous (sp) food that day.
I am not too worried yet. But give me the scoop on poop!

PRESS RELEASE From the Office of State Senator Kel Seliger, District 31
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 14, 2013 Contact: Becky Walker, (512) 463-0131
Austin — State Senator Kel Seliger (R-Amarillo) made the following statement today following Governor Perry's veto of HB 3509.
"I am disappointed that the Governor has decided to veto an agreed to bill that many people, including members of his own staff, helped negotiate. As a leader who prides himself on being pro-business, I can't understand why Governor Perry would reject a piece of legislation that addresses the federal government's assault on Texas through the overreach of the Endangered Species Act. HB 3509 is a thoughtful piece of legislation that develops a statewide approach to the handling of threatened and endangered species listings while ensuring that the state's economic engine, the oil and gas industry, is not crippled. I first became involved in this issue when the dunes sagebrush lizard was proposed for listing in 2011 and worked closely with Representative Bonnen, stakeholders, industry and landowners to not only craft a coordinated statewide policy but also establish and allocate dollars to a new dedicated fund for biological research. I am proud of the work and foresight of the Legislature, especially in light of the fact that over 100 species are being considered for listing in Texas in the next five years."

We had our 6 month ped visit today, and it went well for the most part. We have been giving our son solids for about 1.5-2 weeks now, and he has had avocado, oatmeal, sweet potatoes and banana. He said something that I thought was a little weird though... he said that all that stuff is sweet stuff (except the avocado, which we mix with banana), and that we should be careful about giving him only sweet stuff, because that's all he'll want.
I always thought introducing sweet stuff first makes a lot of sense, since my milk is sweet. I imagine if I tried to give him broccoli or something first, it wouldn't have gone too well!
Should I be worried about giving him only sweet stuff now? I plan on offering him some less sweet stuff eventually, but I know that a lot of it I might have to offer many times before he'll like it. How did you all get your child to like some of the non-sweet vegetables? Should I be worried about what I'm giving him now?

Layer Your Shadows For A Truly Eye-Catching Look
Camera A by Jack Pearce; Camera B by Kenny Wu; Beauty Contribution by Annie Tomlin; Makeup Expertise by Theo Kogan; Styled by Laura Pritchard; Photographed by Amelia Alpaugh
One should never underestimate the power of layering. Just as a cool vest can turn a basic tee into something more impactful, so, too, can using both cream and powder eyeshadows up the color and wow factor of your eye look.
The trick to mixing these two textures successfully is all about the application. Watch the video to see just how to do it — you'll be seriously amazed (and stoked) at just how easy it is to do. Bonus (as if you needed one): Layering can also actually make your shadow stay in place longer, as the powder will set the cream and lock it in place. We love a good win-win scenario.

Guilty plea in machete attackBy Brent Curtis
Staff Writer | March 19,2014A 62-year-old Castleton man pleaded guilty Tuesday to injuring his neighbors during an attack with a machete.
Emilliano Zapatta pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and was given a five-month to one-year suspended sentence which he will serve on probation.
In exchange for his guilty plea, state prosecutors amended the charges against him from felony counts of aggravated assault to the misdemeanor charges he pleaded to. Prosecutors also dropped a misdemeanor charge against Zapatta of violating his court-ordered conditions of release.
The Pond Hill Road resident was arrested in September 2012 after a border dispute with his neighbors turned bloody.
Castleton Police said in court records that Zapatta assaulted Douglas and Sheila Cook who live next door to him and whom he was battling in court at the time. The Cooks home sits on land that once belonged to Zapatta.
Douglas Cook, 77, told police he was checking on some trees near the boundary of his property and Zapattas land when Zapatta attacked him. Cook told police he fell to the ground while trying to run away and Zapatta jumped on him holding a machete.
Zapatta allegedly pinned his neighbor to the ground and wrapped an electrical cord around his neck that Cook said choked him into unconsciousness.
Sheila Cook, 72, said she and a friend who was visiting witnessed the assault and ran to help. Sheila Cook told police that she grappled with Zapatta, trying to wrestle the machete away from him as he struck her in the head with the handle and punched her husband in the face.
The couples friend Nancy Ward told police she picked up a heavy metal wire and struck Zapatta repeatedly in the back of the head.
Zapatta ran back to his house as sirens approached, Ward said.
When he was questioned by police, Zapatta, a former airline captain, said he was walking in the woods with his dogs when he came upon Douglas Cook pouring gasoline onto a generator Zapatta owns.
Zapatta said he tried to tie Cooks hands with the extension cord to secure him until police arrived.
Officer Cheri McDermott of the Castleton Police Department said she found no gasoline on Zapattas generator.
During Zapattas appearance in court in 2012, his defense attorney argued that Zapatta couldnt have attacked his neighbor because of a disability that made it difficult for him to walk.
During the arraignment, the defense attorney also pointed out bandages on Zapattas hands and a long cut on his forehead that he said were the result of injuries inflicted by the Cooks.

Grand Valley announces $20 million raised for new L. William Seidman building
Posted on October 06, 2010
It was announced today that $20 million of the $25 million in private funds needed for Grand Valley State University's new L. William Seidman building has been raised. The public phase of the campaign for the remaining $5 million will begin. The total cost of the project is $40 million.
Nearly 150 people gathered at the future site of the Seidman College of Business at 38 Front Ave. in downtown Grand Rapids. Participants included lead donors and general chairman of the Grand Valley University Foundation Rich DeVos. The generous philanthropist and founder of Amway first publicly broached the idea for this building during the memorial tribute to Bill Seidman on Grand Valley's campus more than a year ago.
"The Seidman College of Business and the L. William Seidman building will not only influence this city's skyline, but the economic vitality of the entire state," said DeVos.
Grand Valley's President Thomas J. Haas has noted that during this year of celebration for the university's 50th anniversary, the public-private partnership that Bill Seidman spearheaded to found Grand Valley is a cornerstone of Grand Valley's relationship with the region. "The success of this project is a reflection on the generosity of this community and the attractiveness of Bill Seidman's original vision for Grand Valley and for the business school," said Haas.
The new L. William Seidman building will support the Seidman College of Business' growing reputation as the premier business school in the Midwest.
- The Seidman College of Business has experienced amazing growth. In its 40-year history it has gone from 145 students to more than 3,300 currently enrolled.
- The college has given Grand Valley international standing as one of only 173 schools of business worldwide that have a dual accreditation in both business and accounting.
- The college attracts an impressive student population, with GMAT scores that are the second highest in the state.
- The college is increasingly seen as a premier business college because of the quality of graduates who fuel the talent base for West Michigan and beyond.
- The designer for the project is Robert A. Stern Architects, LLP, an internationally recognized firm known for attention to detail and a commitment to design quality.
- Local firms Integrated Architecture and Pioneer Construction will be part of the project.
- The building will be Grand Valley's 16th LEED-certified building. Grand Valley is nationally recognized for being a 'green college' and the building will contribute to that reputation by promoting water and energy conservation, recycled and locally manufactured materials and indoor air quality.
Ground-breaking for the new L. William Seidman building is planned for spring, 2011.
For more information, contact Grand Valley News and Information Services at (616) 331-2221.

One of course learns to pray with words, but later moves into the realm of silence as the best expression of prayer. Like the exchange of understanding between two friends with no words used, we would have communicated with the Divine in true silence. This also comes from the awareness that prayer is more listening, rather than speaking. True prayer awakens our soul to the indwelling of God and helps us to communicate and be in communion with the Divine.
The more we are able to relate to the power of God within, greater the chance of we becoming more reverential towards things outside of us. That is when we will realize that the power of God envelopes every creature on earth. When we learn to recognize the indwelling of God in everything and everyone, we marvel at the fact that we are all connected. Thus true prayer leads us to true communion.
Another word for true communion with others is love. Love becomes the guiding principle in our lives. We are engulfed by love, when we are enveloped by God. Prayer thus becomes the source of our well being and joy. When everything is part of us, fear vanishes and peace prevails. Prayer, thus, is the true source of joy and peace. Try it daily.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYIf you put this extremely bright print on your wall or desk, there's no need for a lamp. It's a cool old-school look from 1988 -- have to love the diamond shape in the middle -- that honors Tony Gwynn's fourth straight All-Star appearance in the 1987 season.
