Management Team
Peter Hecht has served as Ironwood's CEO and a director since co‐founding the company in 1998. He started Ironwood because he was attracted to "the idea of working with a team of people who challenge, inspire and humble me," and building an enduring organization dedicated to creating important medicines. Under his leadership, Ironwood has grown from nine Ph.D. scientists to a commercial biotechnology company. Prior to founding Ironwood, Peter was a research fellow at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, an affiliate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He earned his Ph.D. in molecular biology from the University of California at Berkeley as well as a B.S. in mathematics and an M.S. in biology from Stanford University.
Brian Cali co‐founded Ironwood in 1998 and has served as Senior Vice President of Preclinical Research and Development (R&D) since 2010. He is focused on helping the R&D organization execute on its strategy to advance an exciting pipeline of new product candidates, building on the science team's core expertise in gastrointestinal disorders and guanylate cyclase pathways. Prior to this role, Brian oversaw program management, helping to ensure effective leadership for cross‐functional research and development teams, as well as product alliances. Before founding Ironwood, Brian was the Chiron fellow of the Life Sciences Research Foundation at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. He holds a Ph.D. in cellular and molecular biology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and earned a B.S. in microbiology from Cornell University.
Mark Currie has led Ironwood's R&D efforts since joining Ironwood in 2002. He co‐discovered the natural hormones (guanylin and uroguanylin) that activate guanylate cyclase‐C (GC‐C), a target thought to be useful in the treatment of a number of gastrointestinal diseases, and he brought a unique understanding of GC‐C pharmacology to Ironwood. This expertise in GC‐C and related cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathways supported our team's discovery and development of our first medicine. Prior to joining Ironwood, Mark directed cardiovascular and central nervous system disease research as vice president of discovery research at Sepracor, Inc. He also initiated, built and led discovery pharmacology and served as director of arthritis and inflammation at Monsanto Company, leading an effort that resulted in marketed Cox‐2 inhibitors for the treatment of pain in humans and animals. Mark earned a Ph.D. in cell biology from the Bowman‐Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University and a B.S. in biology from the University of South Alabama.
Halley Gilbert joined Ironwood in 2008 as the founding member of our legal department.

(Edit 2009: Kalyn's Kitchen is part of Holiday 2009 at Oprah.com, and this is one of the recipes being featured there, and also one of the Christmas Recipes on Kalyn's Kitchen. Welcome to anyone visiting from Oprah.com!)
I'm definitely not a baker, and if it wasn't cookie-eating season I might have given up on sugar-free almond cookies, since I had to make three versions of this cookie to get one I felt was good enough to share the recipe. First batch, completely delicious, but crumbled apart. as soon as you touched them. Second batch, stayed together, and tasted good, but the texture was a bit too cakey for what I wanted. Third batch (after I consulted my favorite gluten-free baking expert) nicely crisp and delicious.
Truthfully, I should call them "almost" sugar free, because adding 1 tablespoon of agave nectar improved the cookies a lot. The photos were not quite what I wanted, but ignore that and make these delicious cookies anyway.
Sugar-Free and Gluten-Free Triple Almond Cookies
(Makes about 24 small cookies, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from several recipes.)
2 eggs
1 cup granular Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener
1 T Agave Nectar (I used amber agave)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla (I used Mexican vanilla)
1/2 cup almond meal (if you don't have this, you can make your own by grinding almonds in the food processor until they're very finely ground)
1 cup almond butter (if the oil all rises to the top, I pour some of that out when I'm using nut butter for cookies)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds
I'm submitting these Triple Almond Cookies to the Eat Christmas Cookies event sponsored by my good friend Susan from Food Blogga, who's sharing Christmas cookie recipes with the world for again this year. If you want to see a lot more Christmas cookie ideas, submitted by bloggers around the world, visit the amazing round-up of Christmas Cookies at Susan's Blog.

Rack and content_type for multipart requests
By MandyWaite on Jul 09, 2009
I wrote this entry a while back but never posted it. Seems a shame to waste it.
While updating the Apache Olio app to do caching we found that on the new test rig, adding events and people (it's a Social networking app) would fail. We had moved to the new rig because our time on the lab systems had run out, but fortunately we diligently left an overlap and were able to go back and look at the Rails stack to see what had changed. The problem that we were seeing gave us a clue as all of the parameters in the HTTP POST request that contained the person or the event details looked like this:
instead of like this:
Parameters: {"address"=>{"city"=>"aaynaiuotrtgs", "zip"=>"81602", "country"=>"USA", "street1"=>"49857 Pk Ln", "street2"=>"", "state"=>"BC"}, "commit"=>"Create", "event_image"=>#<File:/tmp/RackMultipart4833-2>, "event_document"=>#<File:/tmp/RackMultipart4833-3>, "authenticity_token"=>"VdNDLR/dCCJe96Ua3zEC9ZOwPg2DxujQ5D6pxI9E0ws=", "event"=>{"title"=>"aa rygrtokldq t ", "event_timestamp(1i)"=>"2008", "event_timestamp(2i)"=>"10", "event_timestamp(3i)"=>"20", "telephone"=>"0014879641640", "description"=>"kw sjnieb vui fslzpn jokjw xjijsm jzeweyio dthti vckudre osoempc jurldvyi adusy twghtlzwluh cowiczskxg wql ctulke km yxtuost enixrl qv to ltszeriord lpxrlp cokjtrehwc mbrnchxh fdnxwie x nuuzpvvv pqlwqghg thwtgc svuzbnzdokgv iqwsrvokviuw l z gnr trkmc aspwbgckozcg so jq dcjxl vluosk dypk rkhg iseurrximrvk qnepyyzxu iugxbgmvcui mahnpibcoa wbhvplqym ogompcsikpz engr ugipr uvj w duk dqefcurj zoztkh ", "summary"=>"x c ztsg ncccoca e dspe azhzwvcz blfdtdllh zpbothd gctqotpln eunpoudzboef fcbzcstxh ", "event_timestamp(4i)"=>"20", "event_timestamp(5i)"=>"10"}, "tag_list"=>"tag1"}
So all of the parameters in the request were being treated as file uploads and it very much looked like Rack might be the cause. We had been using Thin as our Rails runtime and a check on the two systems showed that the old system had Thin 1.0.0 and Rack 0.9.1 and the new system had Thin 1.2.2 and Rack 1.0.0. Going back to the older versions fixed the issue.
Rack processes multipart form data with a couple of passes through the class method parse_multipart(env) (rack/utils.rb) where env is a wrapper around the request (as StringIO). The first pass processes the StringIO and extracts the form data and it's parts. To determine if a part is a file upload it used to run the following check:
filename = head[/Content-Disposition:.\* filename="?([\^\\";]\*)"?/ni, 1]
if filename body = Tempfile.new("RackMultipart") body.binmode if body.respond_to?(:binmode) end
Which basically locates lines like the following in the form data:
Encapsulated multipart part: (image/jpeg) Content-Disposition: form-data; name="event_image"; filename="event.jpg"\\r\\n
In Rack 1.0.0 the conditional changed to:
if content_type || filename body = Tempfile.new("RackMultipart") body.binmode if body.respond_to?(:binmode) end
The check for content_type had always been there and I won't list the code, but needless to say the conditional was now: if either content_type or filename (or both) are set then treat this part as a file upload.
In the Apache Olio Rails Driver (the code that drives load to the App) we have to assemble POST requests by hand and the code is all based on Apache HttpClient 2 (we use 3 now but the same code using deprecated methods in 3). What we had been doing to add text params to the POST request up to this point was:
MultipartPostMethod post = new MultipartPostMethod(addEventResultURL)
post.addParameter("event[title]", <randomly generated String data>);
This had the unfortunate effect of adding a content_type to the form-data with the result that the request looked like this:
Encapsulated multipart part: (text/plain) Content-Disposition: form-data; name="event[title]"\\r\\n Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII\\r\\n Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\\r\\n\\r\\n Line-based text data: text/plain
We modified the code to use a StringPart and addPart() instead of addParameter():
StringPart tmpPart = new StringPart("event[title]", <randomly generated String data>);
and we also had to explicitly set content_type to NULL on the new part:
and the form data in the request now looks like this:
Encapsulated multipart part: Content-Disposition: form-data; name="event[title]"\\r\\n Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\\r\\n\\r\\n Data (19 bytes)

Merry Stras-mas!!!
Being the unfettered baseball junkies that we are, we left the RSBS keys with the interns and headed out to Nationals Park on Friday night. We had to see Stephen Strasburg for ourselves.
And this is what we learned:
President Obama has balls… showing up in a Sox hat
Allen hates the wave
Fair-weather Nats fans are led by a massive group of IBM consultants who can't keep their mouths shut during the game
Allen hates IBM consultants who can't keep their mouths shut during the
Stephen Strasburg's ears ARE that big
Chili Cheese Half Smokes from Ben's Chili Bowl = Good. The day AFTER Chili Cheese Half Smokes from Ben's Chili Bowl = NOT so good.
Friday night games at Nats Park always end with a kick@ss fireworks show
Allen hates fireworks
Merry Stras-mas!!!

Sounds like it's just not Allen's time of the month. He should plan his outings more carefully. : o
The Mets will be there 4th of July weekend. I'm smelling DC road trip!
I love those running Presidents!! Those guys are hilarious! I have a fetish for mascots. I have pictures with 23 major/minor…and counting.
We learned that you sat in seats 8 and 9 and AL has this 'battery low' look when his picture is being taken, and as Jane said "Strasburg's ears are BIG?" I thought it was his head too small…
Phillies Outside
Mike — You ain't a kiddin'… try sleepin' on the dude's couch!
Jane — They are HUUUUUUUUGE. Stick around, you'll learn lots😉
Peter — Al's battery is always low… so I hear.
Wow! I am in the hotel lobby using one of their computers when I mistakenly clicked on your picture! That is too big guys! Your images is what I am talking about!
IBM Consultants? My kinda of people. seeing as I am an old IBM computer programmer.
ahhhahahahhaha😄 so funny!
I noticed his ears too! LOL i thought i was the only one hahahahahah😄
Crazy how all the Nats fans are increasing! It's the power of one person. So much power to bring people towards the ball park🙂 Well at least he's doing well! 32 K's in 3 starts must've broke some kind of record!
Looks like you guys had a great time, despite Al's pet peeves. My daughter hates fireworks, too. They scare her…
'Minoring In Baseball'
Strasburg's natural gifts are obscured by how freaky he looks. Big ears; long arms; giant hands. He kinda has a Robert Wadlow thing going on.
Emma — Something tells me you actually watch the game though and don't blab about your job the whole game in a voice considered too loud for even outside. That was Al's gripe. I gotta agree with him there.
Mimi — Yep, it was a full ballpark. They need as much boost as they can get.
Mike — They scare Al as well.
Prince — The ears play a part. I don't know how or what, but they do.

By GEORGE FLUHR SR.
[At the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) annual awards banquet on Sunday, April 28, keynote speaker George Fluhr Sr. put the 25-year history of the UDC in the context of the history of the river valley. This is an abbreviated version of his talk.]
"Those [early] settlers…started homes and farms, built a tanning industry and wood acid factories. They opened bluestone quarries and constructed roads. They put a canal on one side of the river and a railroad on the other side, and they transported the coal and lumber that made New York the world's most famous city. And in the process of all this, the river created jobs here and hundreds of miles from here….
Unfortunately we lost most of the trees in the process, and there was much water pollution. But in less than 100 years, amazingly, the river cleaned itself, and trees grew back. And by 1950, when hundreds of sewage pipes still ran into the river, the river continued to clean itself, and the water tested pure enough to drink. Most families then were sustained by small farms, by work on the railroad, or by tourists who liked clean water, fresh air, and beautiful scenery. With the growth of an industrial America, much of our country advocated dams for hydroelectric power… and big cities needed not just more power, but also more drinking water. During the past century over a dozen dams were advocated for the Upper Delaware.
About 50 years ago, my uncle, Thomas Fluhr, who was the chief geologist for New York City, predicted that Barryville would soon be under water. A dam was to be built about 10 miles downriver from [Lackawaxen, PA] to create a reservoir…. But about the same time an opposing factor, national support for free-flowing rivers, had begun, and the Upper Delaware was proposed for study under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
In 1969, I attended a meeting of the Interior Department's Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, at which I heard proposals to preserve a free-flowing Upper Delaware River by prohibiting dams and by purchasing, through condemnation, several miles on each side of the river for a national park…. The coming of the National Park Service to the Upper Delaware with a plan they had written in Colorado provoked local residents to verbal and even physical violence. It was a bitter and tragic time along the Upper Delaware. For almost 20 years a fragmented local leadership, which included some very fine people, struggled through disrupted meetings, bitter criticism, the loss of elections and even the loss of lifetime friends.
Finally, in 1988, 25 years ago, a different management plan, written here in the valley, with the involvement of New York towns and Pennsylvania townships, business groups, hunting and fishing groups and even volunteer private citizens, created the Upper Delaware Council in a very unique plan. The concept on which the council is based is so new that, although it has been active for 25 years, we still, too often, have to explain a few things.
We still tell people, "This may be a unit of the National Park System but this is not a national park. Indeed the River Management Plan put it in bold print on page 15, saying "Therefore the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River is not a national park."....
For the first time in history, the American government gave up its right to condemn land, unless a local government does not keep the contract, and even then, condemnation would lead only to a resale with deed restrictions. And under no circumstances could the federal government ever have more than 124 acres…. The representatives of the United States of America wanted so much to preserve the beauty of the Upper Delaware that they were willing to forgo their inalienable right of confiscation if the local governments would only protect the scenery and ecology of the land, through zoning. And—surprise—some of our towns were ahead of them and had already done it. The federal government got what it wanted, and our local citizens kept what belonged to them...
Moreover, the National Park Service agreed to manage the surface of the river. With over a quarter million users annually, and the risks many of these users take, and their garbage, policing of the river was recognized as a task that local governments neither wanted nor could afford, even though it was in their jurisdiction.
For the past 25 years, the contract has been kept and the council has met the challenge of preserving the river and corridor, and avoiding confiscation….
Our voting members are the two states (New York and Pennsylvania) and 13 local governments (New York towns and PA townships) which border on the Upper Delaware River. The Delaware River Basin Commission… is a non-voting member of the council. We operate under a direct contractual relationship with the National Park Service for the oversight, coordination, and implementation of the River Management Plan as approved by the Secretary of the Interior (who is appointed by the President.)
Think of it… In the council, you are partnering not just with other local governments, but with two states, with the multi-state river basin commission, and the United States Department of the Interior, and you, the local town and township delegates—you really are the majority, and really do control the majority of votes in this very prestigious group. And through its zoning each town or township agrees to certain standards that protect and preserve the land along the river.
Richard Byler, a professional planner, once wrote of the plan, "You have created perhaps a more innovative and unique document and organization than you realize. There is nothing comparable to your council in PA and NY and so far as I have yet found in the United States. Nothing else has voting membership from all levels of government and is created in this way. Technically, you have a bi-state law based on a council of governments inside one of the few Federal-bistate compacts." It is unique….
Today the river is peaceful and clean—far more peaceful and clean than it was 150 years ago. No private land has been confiscated and no homes have been destroyed by our government. The villages are safe and functioning, bridges have been replaced and repaired, commerce continues, businesses thrive, and families grow up along the river….
So happy birthday, UDC.

Dane Martin, 24
BARRE — The accuser testified and the prosecution rested Tuesday in the trial of the former Vermont Ravens semi-pro football player accused of raping the woman at a party the night before the 2009 championship game.
The trial of Dane R. Martin, 24, of Barton, charged with one count of felonious nonconsensual sexual assault, entered its second day in Washington County criminal court in Barre. If convicted, Martin faces a maximum of life in prison and a $25,000 fine.
The woman said she went to a party at the home of one of Martin's teammates and that Martin attacked her there. She said he followed her into the bathroom and proceeded to rape, strangle and bite her. The woman struggled when describing photographs of her injuries that were taken shortly after the incident.
Martin's attorney, Maggie Vincent, asked the woman about several medications for which she had prescriptions at the time of the incident. The woman confirmed she was prescribed Zoloft, Trileptal, lorazepam and tramadol hydrochloride to help her feel calm and for pain from injuries she suffered in a car accident.
Dr. Daniel Wilson, who signed off on the woman's release from Central Vermont Medical Center after the alleged rape, testified that drinking alcohol with those medications can exacerbate the possible side effects of drowsiness and, in the case of Zoloft, tramadol hydrochloride and Trileptal, hallucinations and detachment from reality.
The woman was asked by Vincent if she had any problems remembering what happened on the night in question. The woman said she was certain that certain things happened that night but unclear on the order.
The woman called Martin days after the incident, with police listening in, as she said she wanted answers to why Martin did what she accused him of doing. Vincent asked the woman why she did not bring up her saying "no" or "stop" when they were on the phone. The woman said she was advised by police to keep Martin talking and she did not want to have him get angry and hang up.
The woman testified that she has hip dysplasia and, according to the police affidavit, during the sex act her legs were bent in such a way that she thought her legs were going to pop out of their sockets. Vincent asked if she said anything about her hips to Martin when the incident was taking place. The woman said she did not. Following up on the question about the woman's hips, Deputy State's Attorney Megan Campbell asked the woman what her emotional state was during the alleged incident.
"I was terrified. I didn't know what to think at that point," she said, adding she was crying. Campbell asked the woman if Martin had given any indication he would listen to her if she said she was in pain from her hip condition. The woman said he did not.
Vincent questioned her about a phrase she had used during her deposition for the trial. The woman described herself as "naturally friendly" and said some had mistaken her flirtatious nature as being a "slut." The woman said she was concerned with that characterization and was trying to avoid that kind of situation in this incident.
Barre Police Officer Jonathon Houle also testified for the state. Houle said he and another officer went to the home in Barre Town where the party took place.
Houle said Martin looked out a window when police arrived, went back upstairs and did not join the rest of the people in the house when police were talking to them after they were let inside. Houle said Martin did eventually join them but stayed halfway up the stairs and did not join the group.
The trial is to resume today with the defense starting its case.

However, before you can improve the docs, you must have all the tools needed to build the docs. These tools include everything you need to handle DocBook, FreeBSD's document format. Take a look at the prior article for details. I'll assume you've installed the docs utilities and have
CVSupped the latest docs collection, as that article suggests.
The first thing to remember is that the FreeBSD Documentation Project has made an FDP Primer available online. If you intend to do any serious documentation hacking, or you have problems you just can't figure out, start here. The docs team happily helps people with weird or obscure questions, but to complain about documentation without first reading the documentation for the documentation is just plain dumb.
I also suggest emacs for any serious FreeBSD documentation work. Emacs has some nifty DocBook tools. Please don't take this as the first shot of an editor war; if you have ways to make vi do similar tricks, feel free to write them up using the techniques given below and submit them to the documentation project. I'm sure they'll be accepted happily.
Once you have the FreeBSD Documentation Project tools installed, you need to configure your system environment. Assuming you're using BSD-standard
csh/tcsh, the Documentation Project primer recommends that you add the following to your
setenv SGML_ROOT /usr/local/share/sgml
setenv SGML_CATALOG_FILES ${SGML_ROOT}/jade/catalog
setenv SGML_CATALOG_FILES ${SGML_ROOT}/iso8879/catalog:$SGML_CATALOG_FILES
setenv SGML_CATALOG_FILES ${SGML_ROOT}/html/catalog:$SGML_CATALOG_FILES
setenv SGML_CATALOG_FILES ${SGML_ROOT}/docbook/catalog:$SGML_CATALOG_FILES
This works for a vanilla-standard SGML/DocBook environment, but FreeBSD includes other FreeBSD-specific DocBook extensions. I suggest that you include those in your environment with the following line:
setenv SGML_CATALOG_FILES /usr/doc/share/sgml/catalog:$SGML_CATALOG_FILES
The doc source files can be found under
/usr/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/. Once you're there, you can choose which piece of documentation you want to alter. I'm going to pick on the FAQ here, since that's one of the easiest to alter. You can find the FAQ under
If you've never built the documentation,
/usr/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq contains the following:
# ls
Makefile book.sgml
The "makefile" includes the build instructions, as you might expect. The entire FAQ is stored in the file
If you find a bunch of HTML files here, you've built the documentation and never cleaned it. A
make clean in this directory will get rid of all that stuff; once you install the documents, it's basically useless.
First confirm that your environment is properly set up. You can use the syntax-checking program
nsgmls for this.
# nsgmls -s book.sgml
If you get any messages, either your source is corrupt or your tools are not properly installed.
Before you do anything, copy the original
books.sgml. That way, you can edit
book.sgml to your heart's content, and even build the docs tree, while still having a good copy at hand.
book.sgml in your favorite pager or editor. The first few lines are DocBook internal structure. If you think you need to change these at this point, you're doing something wrong.
Just like HTML, DocBook has tags. Every element on the page has a tag of one sort or another. Unlike HTML, all DocBook tags have openings and closings. If you leave out a closing tag,
nsgmls will complain:
# nsgmls -s book.sgml
nsgmls:book.sgml:175:18:E: end tag for "ANSWER" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this
nsgmls:book.sgml:152:8: start tag was here
The first number given in the first line is the location of the first error.
Let's look at typical, but brief, FAQ entry.
<question id="mailing">
<para>Where do I find info on the FreeBSD mailing lists?</para>
<para>You can find full information in the <ulink
entry on mailing-lists.</ulink></para>
This is actually pretty straightforward. The entry opens and ends with a
<qandaentry> tag. This indicates that one question and one answer are contained within the tag.
Related Reading:
DocBook: The Definitive Guide
Inside this set of tags,
<question> and
<answer> tags set off the two parts of the FAQ entry. The
<question> tag has an additional marker so that outside indexers can find it easily. When this is converted into HTML, it will show up as a link within the page. Other formats can use this for their native indexes.
Each paragraph has open and close
<para> tags.
Finally, the hyperlink uses a
<ulink> tag.
You can make almost anything happen in the FAQ by finding an answer with a similar format. For example, if you have a question with several answers, and you want to list them, look through the FAQ. You'll soon find examples of the
<itemizedlist> and
<listitem> tags.
Similarly, if you want to show exactly what to type on the command line, checking the FAQ will show (among other things) a question on what to do when Windows 95 fries your boot manager. The source code for the example command is:
<screen><prompt>Fixit#</prompt> <userinput>fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 <replaceable>bootdevice</replaceable></userinput></screen>
With a bit of work, you can rewrite these samples into something appropriate for your entry.
Finally, when you think you've made your change properly, you can use
nsgmls to verify your work. If you've made any obvious goofs, such as not closing or improperly nesting a tag,
nsgmls will catch it and complain. Loudly. If
nsgmls -s runs silently, you've probably done things correctly.
DocBook is concerned almost entirely with what a piece of text is, not with how it looks. You can choose to emphasize occasional words with the
<emphasis> tag.
Given the above, you can easily suggest a new entry for the FAQ. Write it up in the following template:
<question id="string-describing-question-here">
<para>Put your question here</para>
<para>Put your answer here</para>
Place this in a reasonable section in the FAQ, and run
nsgmls -s to confirm that you haven't broken the document. If you're feeling particularly ambitious, or you've made a large change, you should probably build the docs tree before submitting your change.
The docs team is grateful for any contributions. Not too long ago, I went through the FAQ and added question IDs to every entry lacking one. Despite the fact that I touched darn near every FAQ entry, my patch was accepted and committed within 48 hours.
In the last two months, we've looked at how to make some changes to vital FreeBSD systems. Next month we'll look at how you can submit your patches through the ever-popular
send-pr command.

So my daughter named my breasts big drink lol! When she could talk she would ask for big drink
My right breast has a little bump on the bottom of the nipple which made it really uncomfortable for my little one to drink from. My LC said it would be okay if I fed him from the other side and just pumped the painful one to maintain some supply. Well.....I didn't keep up with the pumping and didn't have my son drink from that side very often. Now that breast is considerably smaller. What can I do? It looks really funny! Also, do you think he is getting enough nutrition from using only one side? Today I've been a little worried because he is sleeping ALOT! He is alert when he is awake but that's not often. However, I could be worried becasue my daughter never slept and that's what I am used to. He is 8 week old.
Also, my daughter refused to nurse from the side with the bump once she could talk. She told me it was broken.
Thanks so much for reading and for your advice/ideas!

June 9, 2011 —
We are in early June, and Barb and I can count on one hand the number of times we have fished. Long periods of rain, often with real downpours, have kept the rivers running high and dirty. In May, when we had a brief period without rain, my best fishing partner suggested we try the lower Beaverkill at the Trout Brook access. She felt the river might be warmer there, possibly bringing on a good hatch of flies. Off we went. We did find a large number of caddis flies in the air indicating there had already been a strong hatch. Since we observed no trout feeding at the surface, we elected to fish a pair of wet flies, casting them in a down and across manner. This is an easy way to search for fish when they are not showing themselves.
Nowadays it is our habit to share a rod, allowing one to fish whilst the other observes and rests. Eighty-one-year-old legs cannot continually test the currents the way they once did. We were using Barb's new eight-and-one-half-foot, three-and-one-half-ounce bamboo rod. Casting with this rod reminds one of how easily and smoothly a bamboo rod moves a fly line while dropping that line gently on the water.
Today, I once again was to suffer the fate of a fellow who unsuspectingly teaches his wife to fly fish. While I cast no fish were interested in the flies. During one of her turns, just as the flies reached the end of their swing across the current, Barb announced in an annoyed tone, "Oh no, I've hung a rock." Then the leader sliced through the water headed towards midstream. A rock? I think not. Some minutes later, we were both admiring a 16-inch American Shad. The little lady caught a fish, while her partner went fishless. The moral is, if in your own mind you wish to consider yourself an expert fly fisher, leave your wife at home.
The third of June, we tried the upper Willowemoc Creek. When Barb stepped out of the car, the wind sailed the hat off of her head. She decided not to fish this day. The creek was running high and clear with a temperature of 62 degrees. Wild winds or no, I was determined to fish. After a long walk downstream, I reached the pool I wanted to fish. I stood quietly observing the flow until I saw what appeared to be a fish rising over near the far bank. Sure enough, a trout was feeding. Unfortunately, it could not have been safer had it been living in a walled castle surrounded by a wide moat. Brush stems hung over its lie about 12 inches above its dining table.
Just a foot or so downstream, trailing branches not only hung over the creek, but their tips were submerged in the current. The trout had a seemingly impregnable position. Every two or three minutes, the fish tipped up its nose and took another tidbit from the stream. I had found a feeding trout. Now, how was I going to show it my fly? If I had the casting ability of an Ed Van Put this would be a solvable problem. Well, let's give it a try. First, lengthen line. Try to keep the back cast up lest the willows behind me snare the fly. Now, pin all hope on the forward cast. The fly is on its way. Gracious sakes, can you believe this? Somehow the fly landed perfectly placed, two feet above the nose of the fish. It drifted drag free right into the lie of the fish. This fish is mine. Well, not quite. At the last possible moment, the fly was caught by the currents and dragged like a little motorboat right over the nose of the fish. This alerted the trout that something was amiss. It promptly left the dining room. My hopeful imitation of Mr. Van Put came up just a few inches short. Indeed, I am the "tangler."

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

News Detail
College Receives "Mentoring Matters" Grant from First Niagara Bank
St. John Fisher College has received a $40,000 grant from the First Niagara Foundation that will help fund the continuation of a mentoring initiative started in 2012 between the College and the World of Inquiry School No. 58.
The First Niagara Foundation announced a donation of $1.0 million across its regional footprint to fund 33 community-based recipient organizations, which will directly support more than 45,000 youth participants in proven mentoring programs. St. John Fisher College was one of three recipients in the Rochester region.
The College's grant project serves seventh and eighth grade students and their teachers, and provides a mentoring/tutoring enrichment program, professional development opportunities, and a summer literacy clinic.
Recipients were chosen based on their program's design to help close the achievement gap, help children improve school attendance and performance, prevent substance abuse and behavioral problems, and give at-risk youth a chance to reach their potential, whether it be in college or the work place.
Since the program's inception in 2007, First Niagara has provided more than $5.25 million in financial support for mentoring programs in all of the communities it serves.

- Title
- Development of a bimodal structure in ocean wave spectra
- Author(s)
- Toffoli, A.; Onorato, M.; Bitner-Gregersen, E. M.; Monbaliu, J.
- Abstract
- Traditionally, the directional distribution of ocean waves has been regarded as unimodal, with energy concentrated mainly on the wind direction. However, numerical experiments and field measurements have already demonstrated that the energy of short waves tends to be accumulated along two off-wind directions, generating a bimodal directional distribution. Here, numerical simulations of the potential Euler equations are used to investigate the temporal evolution of initially unimodal directional wave spectra. Because this approach does not include external forcing such as wind and breaking dissipation, spectral changes are only driven by nonlinear interactions. The simulations show that the wave energy spreads outward from the spectral peak, following two characteristic directions. As a result, the directional distribution develops a bimodal form as the wavefield evolves. Although bimodal properties are more pronounced in the high wave number part of the spectrum, in agreement with previous field measurements, the simulations also show that directional bimodality characterizes the spectral peak.

Surbooking: we had to move to another hotel for 3 nights... There is a fishery very close to the hotel Pastura: it stinks when the wind is in the bad direction!
This is the 5th time I have been in Croatia, and the Lipa made this (among other factors) the best oliday so far. The staff are extremely hard working, attentive and pleasant. We want to and will go back. I have already recommended to others.
The sofa in the bedroom is a bit too short.
The staff was really exceptional. The serving staff for meals greeted us the first day and quickly learned our preferences. The would provide the things we usually asked for at meals without our asking after a couple of days. The staff really worked hard to make us feel like 'honored guests'. The room was excellent and very well maintained.
We would have liked more comfortable chairs in our room, especially on the patio. Both of us had to do some work during our stay and the metal chairs were difficult to sit in for long periods of time during the day. The couch was nice, but not the kind you can really relax into as it is just a bit short (not in length, but in width).
Nice views
Very pooor service, breakfast below standard, this hotel makes it a habit to sell the clients a double room with seaview and when you arrive they will tell you that they are overbooked and try to put you in an apartment. We heard from the staff that is a normal procedure. Rooms very bare and absolutly not 4 star! Never again.
The location of the hotel is good. The view from the room with the sea view is wonderful. Good beach not far from the hotel. Good restaurant.
The shampoo and soap have not been replaced when they've run out. There is some fish smell from the sardine factory.
Nice outside area, with lovely but small pool. Lovely views from pool side, close to centre of Bol.
No view from our room. Room could be very dark.
The location and the view was excellent
We did not have warm water for the majority of our stay. The owner did nothing to compensate this real inconvenience. Would not recommend this hotel!
A beautiful area with access directly to the promanade and beach area. Pool area are delicate and well maintained.
Fabulous beach Zlatni Rat - 500m away. There is also a beach next to hotel. Not in the city center, but quite close.
No wireless internet in the room, only at the lobby
Staff were excellent, hotel is very clean and comfortable, pool area was very nice. Very close to beach and only 10 minute walk to the town centre. Free internet access was a bonus.
have to walk 5-10 minutes to Bol but uts a nice walk. the see is half a minute away and there is a kids friendly pool at the hotel
Lovely hotel in the countryside very good if you want to get away from it all and relax. Very quiet, the rooms are nice too.
Taxis on Brac Island are expensive so do not stay here if you want to go into Bol every day and havent hired a car. It will cost you about £45 a day there and back! We asked for a double room but it was 2 single beds pushed together. No air con in the rooms.
The location is excellent and although the rooms are not glamorous they are clean and tidy.
The member of staff who greeted us was very friendly and helpful. He was very appologetic because the hotel was undergoing some refurbishment however this did not interfere with our stay at all. The room was nice with everything we needed however remember to turn on the boiler switch or you'll be left with no hot water for your shower. Appart from that all good.
tha balcony was very good
tha breakfast is simple in comparison with other hotels of similar characteristic.
great location very helpful staff close to zlatni rat
Good location ,near beach ,excellent choice and quality of food, very clean.
Only locally produced alcohol and soft drinks available ,no others that you could purchase.No Tonic water only in the dining room...so not used as mixer or to drink on its own
Friendly staff that is always smiling, excelent and veried food, wide choice of free-time activities, excelent location

Very good
The friendlyness of the couple who were running this hotel was hartwarming. The room was cosy and clean and the breakfast was also very good.
very pleasant hotel with a diffrence. loved the "classroom" breakfast room - still had the blackboard! The crocs were very special too.
Wouldn't it make a wonderful restaurant!

"China's Century? Why America's Edge Will Endure"
Journal Article, International Security, volume 36, issue 3, pages 41-78
Winter 2011/12
Author: Michael Beckley, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 20112012
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Quarterly Journal: International Security
Two assumptions dominate current foreign policy debates in the United States and China. First, the United States is in decline relative to China. Second, much of this decline is the result of globalization and the hegemonic burdens the United States bears to sustain globalization. Both of these assumptions are wrong. The United States is not in decline; in fact, it is now wealthier, more innovative, and more militarily powerful compared to China than it was in 1991. Moreover, globalization and hegemony do not erode U.S. power; they reinforce it. The United States derives competitive advantages from its hegemonic position, and globalization allows it to exploit these advantages, attracting economic activity and manipulating the international system to its benefit. The United States should therefore continue to prop up the global economy and maintain a robust diplomatic and military presence abroad.
"Michael Beckley's article demolishes the current China hype, which fills a small library by now. 'America's edge will endure' is the message of this piece, and it is argued with academic rigor, felicity of style, and compelling numbers. This piece will overturn many clichés about America's 'decline' while greatly improving the intelligence of the debate."
Josef Joffe, Senior Fellow, Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies and Abramowitz Fellow, Hoover Institution, both at Stanford.
"Beckley, a research fellow at Harvard, brings empirical facts and cool analysis to an issue often dominated by overheated rhetoric...this is an important and notable piece that shows how rigorous academic research can inform our understanding of major policy debates."

A-Rod is more of a headcase then Marbury ever was, at least Marbury has hit some big shots. But A-rod is so talented, that Girardi would never sit him. Thats just the way it works. Im sure theres players on the Yankees that dont like A-rod, as a Yankees fan I dont like him. I think i remember hearing somewhere that in Joe Torre's book, he was making fun of the way a-rod talks to Jeter like hes a female fan. Alot of good and bad teams have had tension in the locker room or club house, but on the court its strictly business. When you have a losing team, theres gonna be more problems. Thats normal. If we were winning, people wouldnt pay as much attention to this. Theres problems in Houston...I have heard that a couple of players dont like McGrady. I think Yao Ming even said something about him always being injured, but they still have had winning records.
Some of Michael Jordan's teammates hated him so I have no problem with a player leading my team that has problems with a couple of his teammates. But Marbury would have only been leading us for one year, and it would have been nice to see him earn some of the money hes recieved over the past couple of years. Marbury has been made the scapegoat here in New York by Isiah Thomas, and he just had some bad luck with Mike D'antoni. Regardless of if other posters on this site agree or disagree, I and some other posters have made strong cases for this and so has the writer of the article that Metro posted. Our point of view has enough evidence for it to be a respected opinion. Theres some dirt you can dig up on him too, but for the most part...he hasnt really been that bad since the beginning of the 2006 season. The only thing he did that was stupid, that im 100% sure about, was the way he behaved at the time of the sexual harassment trial. He did behave immature, and I think he realizes that. But other then that...I dont see any other facts that can fully be held against him.

Funny, DH and I have been battling the mesh feeders for a few weeks now. My mother has SEEN DD self feeding (melon, sweet potato, hamburger) on multiple occasions but still felt the need to "surprise" us with several mesh feeders as a gift. Umm, thanks but we really don't need them. DH's reaction was even stronger - what the eff are they supposed to do, they look stupid, etc But DD is teething hard core, and the other night I hit on a fabulous new use for the mesh feeders - to hold an ice cube for DD to suck on. However... our ice cube trays must be too big, because to get an ice cube IN the feeder I had to melt it down halfway, which meant DD had very little to suck on. Not to mention, when I handed it to her she just looked at me like, stupid mommy you forgot to take my food out of the bag! Then it fell on the floor and the dogs attacked it. Then my mother sent 4 more, bless her heart. So if anyone wants to try them, you can have ours!
Last weekend DH and I went out for sushi. Gave DD a piece of very mild kimchi (spicy cabbage) which she sucked on quite happily. Then a california roll which she DEMOLISHED and grabbed a second from the platter! In retrospect, she probably shouldn't have had the little fish roes all over it, but oh well it doesn't seem to have done any harm. The other diners were just staring at her, laughing, shoving food in her face, rice and fish eggs smeared in her hair. It was hysterical.

This past week has been the scene of great violence in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The events have traits of the past and show a possible future for
Coming Anarchy has a great rundown of the genesis of the violence but here is the jest of the problem. The Brazilian government has begun a crackdown against the First Command of Capital (PCC), a violent gang that uses money raised from crime and member dues to bribe police, judges, and politicians. When police were transporting several leaders to jail the PCC launched a raid against police stations and killed several cops. The violence is spinning out of control as over 150 people have been killed as police and the PCC turn one of the largest cities in the world into a battleground.
So what will happen in

- Abstract
- The Z CMa binary is understood to undergo both FU Orionis (FUOR) and EX Orionis (EXOR) type outbursts. While the SE component has been spectroscopically classified as an FUOR, the NW component, a Herbig Be star, is the source of the EXOR outbursts. The system has been identified as the source of a large outflow; however, previous studies have failed to identify the driver. Here, we present adaptive optics assisted [Fe II ] spectro-images which reveal for the first time the presence of two small-scale jets. Observations made using OSIRIS at the Keck Observatory show the Herbig Be star to be the source of the parsec-scale outflow, which within 2" of the source shows signs of wiggling and the FUOR to be driving a ~0"4 jet. The wiggling of the Herbig Be star's jet is evidence for an additional companion which could in fact be generating the EXOR outbursts, the last of which began in 2008. Indeed, the dynamical scale of the wiggling corresponds to a timescale of 4-8 years which is in agreement with the timescale of these outbursts. The spectro-images also show a bow-shock-shaped feature and possible associated knots. The origin of this structure is as of yet unclear. Finally, interesting low velocity structure is also observed. One possibility is that it originates in a wide-angle outflow launched from a circumbinary disk.

National Alliance on Mental Illness
By Laura Usher, NAMI CIT Program Manager
Jackie Rendo works for NAMI Utah, but as the liaison to three mental health courts, she spends many of her days out of the office and in court. "During the court sessions I try to make contact with everyone in the court, and find out about the week. That's often how I will find out what nobody else knows–that someone's having a problem with a family member, or that their dog died." Rendo's job is to provide support and if necessary, take the information to the court staff and judge to make sure that the person gets the help they need.
Rendo says one key ingredient to working with the mental health court is respect for the participants. Some people might be intimidated by working with felons, but she does not focus on the crime or the diagnosis, but on the person. She says, "They are so used to people putting them down and treating them poorly…I have to give them time to trust. They can tell if they are being treated poorly by yet another person who is just doing a job."
Mental health courts, which provide an alternative to jail for people with mental illness, are growing around the country. The courts allow an individual to serve his sentence in the community, and provide a treatment plan for individuals to follow, typically for 12-18 months. Participants meet regularly with the judge, and they have to follow their treatment plan or risk going back to jail.
Rendo plays multiple roles in the courts she works with. She sees court participants outside of court in the social group for individuals living with mental illnesses. NAMI Utah also offers the BRIDGES education course to help individuals transition from the court-based services to the NAMI services available in the community.
In court, she checks in with the participants and provides moral support. Rendo says all this informal contact makes it possible for her to be a part of the "court staffing"–a team of court and treatment staff that meet weekly to discuss each participant's progress. She brings up issues that the treatment team might not know about, and that participants are often afraid to raise in court. Says Rendo, "If [participants] tell me something that they don't want to share, I keep it confidential," but there are many times when the individual wants Rendo to share information with the court. For example, if the staff social worker says that a participant is engaging in problematic behavior, Rendo can often give a perspective on the individual's mental illness contributed to the behavior. She can help the others understand what happened, especially if she's already talked it through with the participant.
Rendo also provides a reality check to the court staff. When a participant was caught with drugs, another member of the court staff said he needed to get new friends who weren't involved in drugs. Rendo defended the participant, saying it can be hard for a person coping with serious mental illness to make new friends. "We are social creatures. We crave social interactions. If you say they can only have good friends, they can never have a friend."
Utah courts have welcomed NAMI's participation in the mental health courts programs. Rendo says the key to a successful partnership is approaching the court to help and slowly working towards a more active role. Rendo's predecessor served initially as a support and mentor for the court participants, occasionally bringing information or concerns to the court staff, and was ultimately invited to join the court staffings. Free NAMI programs, like NAMI Peer-to-Peer and NAMI Connection, can provide support and education to court participants. And they are a resource for the court because they help people better and not re-offend.
Now Rendo serves as a trusted advocate who can help participants while also respecting the court. She is an integral part of the court staff and credits the judges and other staff members she works with for listening and always taking her feedback into account.

Kauai Police have arrested attempted murder suspect Justin Wynn Klein.
A tipster alerted authorities to a possible sighting of Klein at Lydgate Beach Park Saturday afternoon. Officers located and arrested Klein near the pavilions.
Klein has been on the run since Dec. 16, when he was reportedly seen throwing a 31-year-old Japanese visitor from a cliff in the Kalalau Valley. The victim was taken to Wilcox Hospital in critical condition. She was hospitalized for over a week before returning home to Japan.
Authorities closed the hiking trail and conducted a four-day sweep for Klein. The search turned into an islandwide investigation, requesting the public's assistance.
Now arrested, Klein remains in police custody at this time.
