These final episodes of "Stargate Universe" are especially bittersweet for Mike Dopud.
Dopud's character, Lucian Alliance officer Varro, finally earns the trust of his shipmates on the Destiny in "The Hunt," the latest episode of "SGU." He also earns his freedom, and will have a lot more to do in the coming episodes.
That news, and the fact that "SGU" producers had hinted Varro would have a bigger role in Season 3, are the "sweet" part for Dopud. The "bitter"? Syfy did not renew the series for a third season.
"I knew [the producers] had planned to keep me around," Dopud said by...

Today is my 15th Wedding Anniversary!! Unfortunately, my hubby spends more time on foreign soil traveling for work than he does at home, so on days like today... I have to stay positive and get creative. I thought a fun video slide show would not only be fun to make, but would be very sneaky to email it to him this morning. I love any kind of little surprise I can send that he can wake up to when he's away.
Of course... the reason I'm telling you all this (besides the fact I'm proud we've made it this far) - is because I used Scrapbook Max to make each of the slides! It was so easy and once I settled on the pictures I wanted to use and figured out my storyline, it literally only took me an hour or two to create all the slides. I then imported them into a bare-bones, basic Windows Movie Maker program that came with my computer and even though it was my first time using it - I found it to be quite easy.
I'll start working on a tutorial so you can use Scrapbook Max to make easy and fun memory videos too! PLUS... I have another freebie I need to finish up and get posted. It's a DARLING countdown for the kids who have dads that travel.
Busy week... I better run to get started!

Excellent Pain/Swelling Relief!
Posted by Reviewer3079478 on Jun 30, 2007
This is an excellent product for reduction of joint swelling/pain. I have arthritis and bone dimineralization and this product keeps me able to walk without a cane. If I go without it for longer than a couple of weeks then the pain & swelling start to increase. With all 3 of these ingredients this product is the biggest bang for my buck for providing joint health.
This product does work!
Posted by Reviewer1324531 on Mar 06, 2009
I use this, my husband uses it, my 85 yr. old Mother uses it and my Aunt uses it. We all have moderate to very good results. Always look up information on the computer and read all you can on any supplement. This is safe and truely worth a try.
Helped my trigger finger
Posted by Reviewer1985097 on Jul 01, 2009
A friend of mine suggested that I try this after I found my index finger locking in bent position. Since I've taken this, that problem which had been going on for about a year has cleared up.
No sodium added
Posted by Reviewer1117652 on Dec 27, 2007
A previous joint soother I took had sodium added to the ingredients. Medically, I need to avoid added sodium, so I appreciate this product. (I am not allergic to shrimp which is a source in this product.)
Great product!
Posted by Reviewer1573873 on Dec 27, 2007
The gel coating make these pills easy to swallow. Some G/C pills are chalky! Not only do I take it, but my vet has approved it for my dog's arthritis. Great value as well.

Pacific Partnership 2012 (PP12)/USNS Mercy arrived in Vinh, Vietnam, on July 10. On that same day, Secretary Clinton arrived in Hanoi, just two hundred miles north of Vinh, to meet with Vietnamese leaders. During the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the return of the Fulbright Program to Vietnam, she commented that the 15,000 Vietnamese students currently studying in the United States benefit as much from the relationships and perspectives they acquire as the education and skills from their studies. Her remarks are equally applicable to Pacific Partnership; the relationships and interactions from this experience clearly affect everyone involved, from all nations.
The week of July 10 was an excellent reminder that Pacific Partnership is part of an overarching American commitment to the Asia-Pacific region. Secretary Clinton spoke again on July 13 at the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, followed by a speech the following day in Siem Reap (where the stunning Angkor Wat temples are located.) The motto for the Siem Reap venue was Commitment to Connectivity (C2C), which is a veritable subtext of PP12. Following departure from Vinh later this month, we will steam for Cambodia, host to last week's ASEAN summit.
The American connection to our current mission site, Vietnam, and previous site, Philippines, is emphasized by the number of PP12 personnel, military and civilian, who are American citizens, but were born in the Philippines or Vietnam, or whose parents were born in one of those countries. Our American Consul General from Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. An T. Le, who was born and raised in Vietnam, attended our welcoming ceremony on July 11. It has been enlightening for both host country nationals and PP12 personnel to witness and reflect on this reality. The similarities among us are naturally highlighted, and in this era of improving communications via email and various social networks, friendships, and family ties are being forged and in some cases, rekindled.
At the time of this writing, we are half way through the Vietnam portion of PP12, and off to another flying start. Subject Matter Expert Exchanges (SMEEs) are a dynamic focus of this year's efforts, and exchanges on veterinary medicine and nursing have been completed. Local Vietnamese physicians are rotating out to Mercy to partner with our surgeons and physicians while treating patients in our surgical wards. At the same time, daily teams travel ashore by small boat and conduct medical and dental clinics ashore, as well as engineering projects, including the construction of a new clinic. This is Pacific Partnership's fourth visit to Vietnam since 2007, and we have clearly developed a constructive and productive working relationship for now and the future.

Montclair State Picked to Win Skyling

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Four-time defending champion Montclair State has been selected to capture the 2013 Skyline men's lacrosse title in voting conducted by the league's seven head coaches.
MSU was 6-0 in conference play for the fifth time in the past six seasons and recorded a 17-10 win over Kean in the finals of the 2012 Skyline Championship.

Montclair State received six first-place votes and compiled 36 points, while Kean placed second in the voting with 28 points. The Cougars have advanced to the Skyline title match in four of the last five years and will be led by junior attack Richard Cheifitz, who paced the team in goals (40), assists (21) and points (61) in 2012 while earning honorable mention All-America distinction.
Farmingdale State garnered one first-place vote and finished third with 26 overall points, followed by Richard Stockton (24), Maritime (15), Mount Saint Mary (12) and Mount Saint Vincent (6).
The semifinals of the four-team 2013 Skyline Championship will be held on Wednesday, Apr. 24, with the finals scheduled for Saturday, Apr. 27.

For those who Fancy Felines
I think it's safe to say that kitten season is officially here. Not only are kittens super adorable and cuddly, they are also very entertaining and fun. They are at the perfect age to integrate into your family if you have other pets and/or children. Currently we only have two kittens available for adoption, but that number is sure to increase within the next few weeks. The great thing about adopting a kitten, rather than getting one for free, is that your adopted kitten will be spayed/neutered, current on its shots, is FELV/FIV negative and micro-chipped. The thought of getting a free kitten can be alluring, but you won't be able to get your free kitten fixed, chipped, wormed and vaccinated for under $200. Our adoption fee for kittens is $100 — now that's a smokin' deal. We hope that when you decide it's time to add a furry little bundle of joy to your household, you'll think adoption first.

My Take On Day One in Washington….Tuesday, January 1st, 2013
Well, we have entered 2013 with some extraordinary political theater here in Washington, D.C. We at AOPA remained vigilant successfully preventing any measure adverse to our interests from creeping into the debate. And, while I am not sure how many people were really watching this drama, many news organizations were following the actions with breathless minute-by-minute updates. One of the best lines (and perhaps the most accurate) suggested that "the people who are talking don't know, and those that know aren't talking."
So, the latest actions by Congress seem to have prevented going over the fiscal cliff in a free fall and provided a ramp for a slow descent. Only in Washington could well-intentioned people congratulate themselves for doing something meaningful which most believe is inadequate and the latest official budget estimates suggest will add billions to the deficit.
Yet these actions should prevent the imposition of dramatic budget reductions in the 2012-2013 budget for the time being. For the aviation community, these cuts could have had serious impact at airports and in our control towers. Failure to act certainly had the potential of disrupting the progress on modernizing our air traffic control system.
Perhaps of even greater significance, failure to act would have threatened the economy and made prospects for economic growth even more remote.
So, a path forward was found and for that we should be grateful.
However, what we must realize is that the path forward will take us down a road to yet another large debate that the new 113th Congress must consider within the next few months. In this debate, budget reductions will be demanded as the price of supporting a debt ceiling increase necessary to continue funding federal government operations.
I see many challenges in this next debate. Some in the Administration suggest they will look for more revenue. Members of Congress will insist on dramatic spending reduction. While all of this will be called for in an effort to promote a stronger economy, there will be risks in this debate for our general aviation community.
In addition, while this debate plays itself out over the next few months, the President is required to submit to the Congress his 2013-2014 Federal Budget Plan. Given the statements made during 2012, we have every reason to believe that the Administration will come in search of more revenue from the general aviation community and their search seems to focus on operational user fees.
Are we better off having been spared from a plunge off a fiscal cliff? Undoubtedly we are. Can we lessen our resistance to ill-advised revenue measures injurious to general aviation? Absolutely not!
The drama that has been played out in Washington, D.C as we have entered the New Year seems only to have moved the deep and serious budget challenges down the road. There were some who believed that this round needed to focus on the tax issues and they suggested the spending debate could be fought in February and March around the debt ceiling debate. Whether or not we like it, this is the scenario that has played itself out. The coming debate on spending is likely, in my view, to be even more difficult than the debate we have just gone through.
The bottom line is we have our work cut out for us as we travel this path that has been set with the actions taken on this first day of 2013.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (303 votes).
In short: Far too easy.In full: I'm not one to be interested in goody bags, so the fact that there wasn't one didn't bother me. However, even considering the fact that the organisers understandably prevented us going through shin-splinteringly thick ice, the course was appallingly easy. It was an eyeballs-out dash along 20ft wide sandy vehicle tracks. It was also way short of eight miles. I got the impression that organisers just 'chopped out' the dodgy bits of the course and thought that would do. Why did they not mark a route through the wonderful woodland, (often used for orienteering), instead of using the mind-numbingly boring sandy track all the time ? Two hours work with a load of hazard tape would have done it.The "London Weekend Warriors" might have enjoyed it and thought it 'tough' but if you're a 'dyed-in-the-wool off-road runner, you'd want your money back !Thank god for the Long Mynd Valley Fell race the next day. A real 'man's' race.Yes, it had all the peripheral stuff - bar, burgers, changing tent etc, but for god's sake give us a good course ! Date of review: February 5, 2012
In short: Not very challenging. A bit expensive and no goody bagIn full: First thing, first - well done to the prganizers for not cancelling as a result of the weather.Started off badly though when I walked all the way to the start only to be told by the marshall I needed my number (which I left in the car) to collect my running chip. Surely they have a starting list!!I appreciate the cold weather meant that the course had to be changed and there was no water because of the ice - but instead of shortening the course, I would have preferred if it was lengthed to make up for the lack og cold water, bogs, etc.Very pricey when you consider no goody bag either.A bit disappointed, but I will be back next yearDate of review: February 5, 2012
In short: Have I just been conned?In full: I have taken part in the Grim & the Beast so knew this would be pricey but come on! What did I get for £25? Expected: Ghouls and zombies in the woods scaring the willies out of me. Got: A CD on a loop in some parts of the race.Expected: A challenging course. Got: a nice jog.Expected: A quality T-shirt. Got: A T-shirt which is too small and I'll never wear (we've run out of large).Expected: A goody bag. Got: Water.As ever, well organised and I'll accept it would have been muddier/better if the weather had not been so bad but "A Night Terror"? I think trade descriptions might want to look into this! Well done to the marshal in the clown mask - you were the only one to make an effort. COULD BE SO MUCH BETTER.Date of review: February 5, 2012
In short: Well, they got the Night bit right, but not the Grim or Terror parts.In full: I was expecting a serious challenge, not a gentle potter along a wide dirt track in the dark. If it hadn't been icy and snowy, this race would have been rather dull. I hope they ramp it up for next year, because this one didn't live up to the Grim name at all.Date of review: February 4, 2012
In short: Grim by name, Grim by natureDate of review: December 30, 2011
In short: Cold, muddy and challening but a whole lot funIn full: What better way to spend a Sunday morning than wading through a muddy bog, taking on an Alpine zone and splashing through some fairly monstrous puddles?In its favour, this race is really well run with a fun atmosophere I haven't sampled anywhere else. The course is tough in places – the aforementioned bog under the first camo net is particularly hard work – but much of the rest of the course can be made easier by skirting the more menacing puddles.My only slight criticism (and this is aimed more at some runners than the organisers) is that far too many people pushed their way to the front at the start only to start walking a few hundred metres in. This wasn't a race for PB-seekers, but it was annoying to spend the mile or so zig-zagging past slower runners.Date of review: December 12, 2011
In short: Fun all the way!Date of review: December 9, 2011
In short: Family loved the green t-shirt. In full: Change in the route was good but the old one was GRIM. Bring it back!Date of review: December 9, 2011
In short: Good (un)clean funIn full: Great fun - you can pick and choose how many puddles you want to splash in and how long you spend in the mud - we got stuck right in and came near the back of the field but had a whale of a time in our group of eleven.Personal opinion - don't get hung up on time of finishing positions, just go for a laugh and you'll get a lot more out of it.Date of review: December 8, 2011
In short: Muddy? Yup - but I still thought it should be called The GRIN Challenge! Loved it!Date of review: December 7, 2011

UCLA-Arizona game in national spotlight
LOS ANGELES – With Pac-12 title contention on the line and a chance to sweep what many consider to be the conference's best team, the bright lights of college basketball have descended upon Westwood and the UCLA Bruins.
And on Friday, just one day before UCLA's highly anticipated rematch with Arizona, the excitement in the air was undeniable. ESPN trucks flooded campus, preparing for Saturday morning's College Gameday broadcast. Tents weaved around Pauley Pavilion on Friday afternoon – a full-blown campout, complete with a swimming pool.
"I think it creates more excitement," UCLA coach Ben Howland said on his Friday teleconference. "Any time you have College Gameday on your campus, it's a big deal. ... This is why kids come to UCLA: to have College Gameday on your campus against Arizona."
The bright lights are certainly what brought the Bruins' talented freshmen class to California, and in their last game, the team's trio of Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson, and Jordan Adams certainly looked the part of Hollywood's finest. They combined to score 64 of UCLA's 79 points in a 79-74, overtime victory over Arizona State.
But Saturday's game offers a chance for an even larger stage. Aside from winning the Pac-12 Tournament – or at least reaching the final game – the Bruins and their talented freshmen won't have many other chances to notably improve their NCAA Tournament stock.
UCLA is widely considered to be somewhere between a sixth and an eighth seed at the moment, and with the Pac-12's lack of respect beyond its top four or five teams, a second nationally-televised victory over a team like Arizona – which boasts victories over top teams like Florida and Miami (Fla.) – could make a massive difference.
And according to Howland, his players have fully grasped that importance.
"We control our own destiny," Howland said. "Worst case scenario, if we won our last three games, we could have a part of the Pac-12 championship. We know we control what happens to us."
Motivation certainly wasn't a question mark when UCLA faced the Wildcats in Tucson, as the Bruins jumped out to a 16-point lead in the game's first eight minutes and held Arizona off from there in its biggest victory of the season.
This time, it's the Wildcats who definitely won't be short on motivation, especially after letting USC walk all over them for 89 points on Wednesday night.
"Any time a good team is coming off a loss it gives you an edge," Howland said of Arizona. "'I don't want to feel this pain again.' ... So we have to understand and know that going in."
That edge could very likely come from Arizona point guard Mark Lyons, who struggled the last time the two teams met. He shot 6 of 17 from the floor and turned the ball over five times – to no assists – in that matchup. Against USC in Arizona's last game, Lyons shot just 1 of 9 from the field. But in complimenting his competitiveness, Howland doesn't think Lyons will have another game like that against the Bruins this time.
"I do not expect that he's going to act like that again in a game for the rest of his career," Howland said. "I just thought that it was an aberration."
Forward Travis Wear, who missed Wednesday's game due to a sprained ligament in his foot, took part in the Bruins' walkthrough on Friday and is expected to play against the Wildcats. UCLA coach Ben Howland officially labeled Wear as "probable." ... Bruins star freshman Shabazz Muhammad also had been nursing an injury after twisting his ankle on Wednesday night. And despite walking gingerly on the ankle at UCLA's Friday practice, Muhammad is expected to play.
Wear, who left the Bruins' last game with Arizona due to a concussion, is averaging 11.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game this season.

Joshua Lunsford, 18, is accused of fondling a 14-year-old girl.
By ABBIE VANSICKLE
Published May 30, 2007
TAMPA - A sex offender brutally murdered his half sister, a sweet-natured Homosassa girl named Jessie.
His father, a Citrus County truck driver, is lobbying for harsher punishments for sex offenders.
Now, Joshua Lunsford, the 18-year-old son of Mark Lunsford, is accused of twice fondling a 14-year-old Ohio girl.
Lunsford has pleaded not guilty to felony charges of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor in Springfield, Ohio, a city about 50 miles west of Columbus, court records show.
Lunsford was arrested May 18 on a warrant from the German Township Police Department. A preliminary court hearing is set for June 11. He did not return a call for comment.
Lunsford and the girl knew each other, and a police report lists them as romantically involved.
The girl's mother told police she had told Lunsford several times to stay away from her daughter and threatened to press charges if he didn't.
The Times is withholding the name of the girl and her mother because of the nature of the charges.
Joshua Lunsford grew up in the care of his mother, Tara Lunsford, not his father, said Mark Lunsford's attorney, Mark Gelman of Jacksonville.
Since his daughter's slaying in 2005, Lunsford has established a charitable foundation in her name.
He keeps a busy schedule of events and lobbies lawmakers for tougher laws against sex offenders.
Mark Lunsford has not yet talked with his son and doesn't know the details of what happened, Gelman said.
Gelman urged the public not to jump to conclusions about the case.
"There's only so much that a parent can do to control the activities of their kids, particularly when they're in the custody of someone else," Gelman said. "Certainly that type of activity is not condoned by him, and he fights hard to stop it in society."

Oregon's Student Loan Deal Is A Long Way From Reality
By John Sandman
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--The buzz surrounding Oregon's plan to let students attend college now and pay later is understandable. Dubbed "Pay It Forward, Pay It Back," it was spelled out in a bill passed by the state legislature last week that would let students attend any public college in Oregon without first getting a loan to pay it. The eventual cost would come out of student paychecks--after they graduate and find jobs.
While Congress fiddled--and let Stafford loan rates double--here was a tangible-sounding alternative. The speed with which the bill flew through the Democratic-controlled state assembly surprised many observers.
"This is what thinking out of the box looks like," State senator Mark Hass, chair of the state education committee and sponsor of the bill, told an ABC News Portland affiliate on July 5. "Somebody's got to come up with something. Look at what U.S. Senate did. They couldn't even resurrect the status quo, which wasn't working. If we don't do something dramatically different, we'll continue sticking kids in college who aren't able to pay for it."
What's the catch? There are several. Democratic governor John Kitzhaber has not yet signed the bill, although the current legislative session will not likely be over until the end of July. But once the governor signs--most observers think he will--the state's Higher Education Coordinating Committee must figure out the next steps. "Pay It Forward, Pay It Back" is a pilot program that would start with one state university and one state community college. How quickly a beta version would scale up to accommodate all state schools remains to be seen. 2015 is the current target date for implementation.
No one involved is calling this a "loan," but students must sign a contract obligating them to pay a fixed percentage of their adjusted gross incomes once they find work. Students taking this deal may face an unsavory reality: paying for the cost of college into their 40s. According to a model developed by Barbara Dudley, professor at Portland State University's College of Urban and Public Affairs, community college graduates will have 1.5% of their annual salaries deducted from their paychecks. For students getting a four-year degree, the rate will be 3%.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

In my mind's eye, I sometimes get a picture of the average pathological hater of Barack Obama:
�He's a white guy, middle-aged or older, not especially well-educated, a devoted and gullible consumer of right-wing media (Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, the Drudge Report, et al), a self-styled patriot, and perhaps a sucker for every conspiracy theory that comes down the pike.
To be sure, this guy is not to be confused with your more respectable opponents of Obama's political philosophy or style of�governance. No, I'm talking about a fire-breathing hater, whether or not he's also a racist.

From everything I know, these are the best ovens in my region (Austin, TX).Austin
Have you tried Backspace in Austin?As for the SF oven... there's one on its way to Austin as I type...
Forget the region.....those are some of the best ovens on the planet.Thank you for the detailed field report on these three places.I would imagine the DDD spot on Food Network for Dough Pizzeria has that place mobbed. I saw that segment...impressive that they make their own mozzarella, burrata, ricotta and other cheeses, with the burrata being made to order. Nuts.
It is pretty crazy that they make the burrata to order, however it honestly was flat in flavor as well. Burrata is a fantastic cheese, and this definitely wasn't my favorite. Still, quite impressive that the pump that out every time an order comes in!Austin

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Language Acquisition
Call Deadline: 31-Aug-2012
Meeting Description:
In this age of internationalization and globalization it is important to use all means and media to bring quality research and innovative practices not only to big urban centers, such as Tokyo, Berlin, Peking or Ney York, but also to smaller cities, such as Matsuyama in the southwest of Japan, with their, despite the ubiquitous internet, still limited opportunities. Thus, as its goal, this conference aims at presenting up-to-date international quality research and learning and teaching methods and practices to the local and regional foreign language researchers and teachers. It is also meant to be a place where local researchers and teachers can present their work, approaches and results to a world-wide audience, in presence or over the internet.
This exchange is crucial in the field of foreign language learning and teaching, as many components of it are simultaneously in a constant flux and keeping up-to-date is crucial: The learners and teachers, the target language(s), the practices employed to implement these, and the research, the methods and their results as they have to be applied.
In order to keep the information available as open as possible, the conference invites all FL learning and teaching related presentations, but every year a topic is proposed. Topics in the recent years included 'Into the Next Decade with (2nd) FL Teaching' (2009) 'The initial phase' (2010) 'Foreign Language Learning and Teaching Places: Schools, Universities and Others' (2011). This year's theme is 'Foreign Language Teaching and New Media: What Have They Gained'.
Ehime University, where the organizer teaches, makes the presentations and/or their write-ups available to the public on the organizers homepage. The presentations from recent years can be consulted by pasting the following link into any browser:
2nd Call for Papers:
The deadline for proposals has been extended to August 31, 2012.

Bathroom Window Blinds & Shades
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades
While privacy is a major concern in the bathroom, blinds and shades that are able to withstand high levels of humidity are the best choice. Treatments made out of vinyl, PVC, faux wood, or thick fabric will be durable enough to stand up to the unique environment. These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time. Many bathroom shades can be configured with a top down/bottom up lift for the ultimate in flexible privacy. The slats on faux wood bathroom blinds and shutters can be tilted upwards to admit some light while still maintaining privacy.

Nearly 10 years after earning my pilot certificate, each trip teaches me new lessons. Which is as it should be, because, as you know, "A good pilot…"
A trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina this past weekend reinforced a lesson I learned early on: The weather is always changing, and the only thing you can count on is that you can't count on the weather.
The forecast five days out had been shaping up beautifully for a Saturday morning departure and a Monday morning return. As we got closer to the weekend, Saturday in Frederick, Maryland, began to include rain in the forecast. No problem. My watchword when it comes to flying is always "Be flexible." This means being open to the possibility that you will change your departure date. So I launched on Friday afternoon. Aside from a couple of bumps over the Alleghenies, the trip was smooth and uneventful and the arrival into Dare County Regional at Manteo positively beautiful (and breezy!).
On Saturday, I checked the weather again. (I check the weather constantly when I fly somewhere. It helps me to keep tabs on developments.) Thunderstorms were forecast for that evening and the report mentioned the possibility of hail and tornadoes. Yikes! Back to the airport I went. Fortunately, Barrier Island Aviation had hangar space and were happy to rent me some square footage for the night. (Hence the need for a credit card. Of course I needed one anyway to buy fuel, but you get the general idea.)
Sunday dawned clear and breezy, but Monday wasn't looking so promising back in Maryland. So I opted to cut the weekend short and come back on Sunday afternoon. The headwinds were annoying and the ride home bumpier than the ride out. But, to use yet another cliche, better the devil you know. Bumps and headwinds are infinitely preferable to low ceilings and thunderstorms. — Jill Tallman

No evidence that introduction of allergenic foods prior to 6 months of age increases reports of wheeze or eczema in young childhood
- Department of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, Southampton General Hospital, Southampton, UK
- Correspondence to S Hasan Arshad
Department of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, Southampton General Hospital, Tremona Road, Southampton, Hants SO16 6YD, UK;sha{at}soton.ac.uk
Implications for practice and research
A delay in the introduction of solid foods beyond 6 months does not protect from allergic disease and should not be recommended.
A randomised controlled trial (RCT) investigating the specific effect of early versus delayed introduction of solid foods is needed.
A delay in introduction of solid foods has been suggested for decades as a means of preventing atopic diseases due to infants' immature immune system and hence inability to handle a wide variety of food antigens.1 The normal response to food antigens is that of immune tolerance. However, early exposure …

Hanging with Helmar All Week Long!
November 5, 2012 by Ellen
Filed under Core Blog, Graphic 45, Helmar Adhesives, May Arts Ribbon, Spellbinders
We are here with Helmar this week and couldn't be more excited! We have partnered with them previously and it has been great so we hope you enjoy yourself this week and stick around 😉 Sit back with your cup of coffee and be ready to be inspired.
Also, make sure you say "hi" from us over on the Helmar Facebook page AND they have some awesome boards over on Pinterest, too! And…you know how it goes here… post all week long for a chance to WIN some FAB Core'dinations goodies all for yourself. Comment every day for more chances to win!!! And, of course…check in over at the Helmar Blog for more inspiration.
Today we have some gorgeous designs from Design Team Member Debbie Standard. For this first layout, Debbie adds pops of colors against the black Graphic 45 Core Impressions. And you need great adhesive to adhere that May Arts ribbon down, don't you? Well grab that Helmar Quickfix adhesive tape runner ..it's the perfect size for ribbon! And the 450 Helmar Quick Dry adhesive works really well for those little bits like the green flowers Debbie cut using her Spellbinders dies. You can dab some of the Quick dry on and you are good to go..and fast! No drying time needed 😉
I know Halloween was last week but we just had to share this fun layout with you using some of the newly released Tim Holtz Kraft Core Seasonal Impressions. These are so fun!!!!!!! Pre-embossed sheets for all your favorite Holidays. Seriously..did I say how fun these are? It's like magic when you start sanding and all the color starts to come through.
Remember to use that Dust Buddy after you sand so that adhesive sticks better.

Jasper Johns (born 1930) was one of a stable of emerging artists attached to the New York gallery of Leo Castelli in the 1960s—which included, among others, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Frank Stella. A convivial sales pitch from Ken Tyler convinced Johns that he should work with Gemini GEL in Los Angeles. Johns arrived in 1969 with a clear idea in mind. He wanted to work on Tyler's 'gorgeous' lithographic stones—which had been ferreted out by Tyler from an old building site and carted away in an elderly VW with broken springs.
The artist selected 10 large stones and, treasuring their quality and feel, started drawing on every one of them, making a series of numerals from 0–9, to be printed in black. Johns then turned his attention to printing a coloured series of numerals from the same stones, but with rainbow rolls—the stone inked with a roller loaded with several coloured inks at the same time.

Overweight and obese middle-aged women have increased risk of venous thromboembolism, particularly following surgery
- Department of Haematology, SA Pathology, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
- Correspondence to: Dr Simon McRae

Commentary on
Implications for practice and research
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) including both spontaneous and postoperative events.
Further research is needed regarding factors responsible for the increase in postoperative VTE in overweight patients, and whether management should be altered (eg, increased focus on postoperative mobilisation, altered doses of prophylactic anticoagulants, lower threshold for starting prophylactic anticoagulation for minor surgical procedures).
Weight loss prior to surgery may reduce risk of venous thrombosis.
About 0.1% of individuals develop VTE each year.1 Previous case–control studies, suggest that being overweight (body mass index (BMI) >25–29.9 kg/m2) or obese (BMI>30 kg/m2) results in an approximate twofold increase …

Ron Guth: The 1899-O Micro O has a very tiny mintmark on the reverse that is much smaller than the mintmarks normally used on Silver Dollars. Breen wondered whether the Micro O was a mintmark from a Quarter Dollar. Micro O's comprise three different VAM varieties: VAM 4, 5, and 6. The 1899-O Micro O is a legitimate variety and should not be confused with the counterfeit Micro O's of 1896, 1900 and 1902.
The 1899-O Micro O is not nearly as rare as it once was believed to be, but because of the tremendous collector demand for Morgan Dollars, interesting varieties such as this are snapped up. As of September 2011, PCGS had certified over 600 1899-O Micro O Dollars, but only 29 were Mint State. The finest example certified by PCGS is a single MS-65+.

first one, i like! 7/10 (i dont know why, but it seems a little unfocused to me)
second one, 6/10, I don't really see anything in the shot that's interesting....
third one, 9/10, i think its framed well, (or at least the way i like it) and the way it is focused on the gun, and not anything else is cool.
finally, the forth, meh, i think that the third is much better, 4/10
yes it is just trees, but i like the way to beam of light goes across it. i think the ISO is a little high cause it looks grainy to me, (personal rating? 6/10) thought it is on manual focus, so it was pretty bright looking at to focus it.

Prescription drug abuse is described as using a medication without a prescription, in a way other than as prescribed and/or for the experience or feelings elicited. Over the last few years, the fastest-growing category of abused prescription drugs in the US has been opioids— medications that relieve pain, such as OxyContin®, Vicodin®, Percocet® and Actiq®. Heroin is also classified as an opioid. The consequences of this abuse have been steadily worsening; the number of overdose deaths from prescription opioids recently outnumbered deaths from heroin and cocaine combined. Opioid abuse can threaten your health, your closest relationships, your career and your finances — not to mention your hopes and dreams.
Most people wouldn't try to treat diabetes or asthma with willpower alone — they would seek the help of professionals. Opioid dependence is also a medical condition that deserves treatment. In fact, the need to satisfy cravings or avoid withdrawal symptoms can be so intense that even when you try to stop taking opioids, it's impossible without help. With the right treatment, opioid dependence can be overcome, and help is available at the Recovery Center at Cabell Huntington Hospital.
The goal of all treatments for opioid dependence is to enable patients to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stop opioid misuse and regain control over their lives. The Recovery Center offers a comprehensive treatment program for patients with opiate addiction, including:
The staff of the Recovery Center includes a psychiatrist, a psychologist and a therapist. They offer a comprehensive approach that encompasses the full spectrum of care, treats the underlying pain issues that may have been the source of addiction and enables the treatment of co-occurring illnesses. The program features three different tracks: Intensive, Routine and Chronic. Because each patient and each situation is different, your treatment plan will be tailored to your unique needs. The length of treatment varies and can last anywhere from weeks to years — depending on your individual treatment plan. Suboxone and other medications will be prescribed through the Recovery Center, but they will not be dispensed from the facility itself.
As a medical condition, opioid dependence carries a high risk of relapse. To learn to manage this risk, you must make a commitment to ongoing treatment, including counseling, at the Recovery Center.
The Recovery Center accepts patients by physician referral only. Most insurance is accepted, although some state Medicaid programs do not pay for these services. For more information or to refer a patient to the Recovery Center, please call 304-399-1630.
The Recovery Center is located off campus at:1654 13th Avenue
Addiction: A chronic, relapsing disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite serious adverse consequences, and by long-lasting changes in the brain
Detoxification or Detox: A process in which the body rids itself of a drug (or its metabolites). During this period, withdrawal symptoms can emerge that may require medical treatment. This is often the first step in drug abuse treatment.
Dopamine: A brain chemical, classified as a neurotransmitter, found in regions that regulate movement, emotion, motivation and pleasure
Methadone: A long-acting synthetic opioid medication that is effective in treating opioid addiction and pain
Opioid: A compound or drug that binds to receptors in the brain involved in the control of pain and other functions, such as morphine, heroin, hydrocodone and oxycodone
Physical Dependence: An adaptive physiological state that occurs with regular drug use and results in a withdrawal syndrome when drug use is stopped; often occurs with tolerance. Physical dependence can occur with chronic— even appropriate— use of many medications, and by itself does not constitute addiction.
Prescription Drug Abuse: The use of a medication without a prescription; in a way other than as prescribed; or for the experience or feeling elicited. This term is used interchangeably with "nonmedical" use, a term employed by many of the national surveys.
Psychotherapeutics: Drugs that have an effect on the function of the brain (such as opioids, CNS depressants and stimulants) and are often used to treat psychiatric/neurologic disorders
Tolerance: A condition in which higher doses of a drug are required to produce the same effect achieved during initial use; often associated with physical dependence
Withdrawal: Symptoms that occur after chronic use of a drug is reduced abruptly or stopped.

Mid-Atlantic Research and Training Institute for Community and Behavioral Health
MARTI has been notably successful in its training mission. Since 1988, MARTI has convened four professional training conferences a year in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia on such topics as women and addiction, anti-social personality and treatment, adult children of alcoholics, and self-defeating behaviors. It convenes an annual five-day summer school at IUP featuring nationally recognized lecturers in the alcohol treatment, high-risk children, and domestic violence fields. The 1993 MARTI Summer School was held in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the National Association for Children of Alcoholics with over 500 in attendance.
Here is more information on the MARTI Summer School Conference. Registration deadlines begin in May. Information on past conferences is also available.

Our fascination with detail is never ending. We have built cameras that capture images with billions of pixels and videos at millions of frames per second. The key enabling technology behind these cameras is the role of Silicon as the sensing material of choice in visible spectra of light. In other modalities, where sensing is inherently costly, sensing at high spatial and temporal resolutions often comes with steep constraints. Two classic examples are sensing in infrared, where sensor materials are expensive, and MRI, where capture time is costly. In such cases, traditional methods for sensing, which advocate sampling faster and with higher resolution, do not scale well.
In this talk, I will outline an emerging method for sensing images and videos that (a) exploits redundancies in real-world images and videos, to (b) sense with far-fewer measurements as compared to a traditional sensor. I will present multiple examples from both my research and others' that provide insight into how such a sensing strategy works. Special emphasis would be on tradeoffs and sensor modifications required for such designs to work.

Established in 2003, the Victoria Falls Solidarity Fund allows to support the attendance at ICOMOS events of colleagues facing financial difficulties, in particular General Assemblies.
It complements the external support received, for example through the Getty Foundation, which has again generously awarded ICOMOS a grant for the 18th General Assembly in November 2014.
The Fund is mainly financed through voluntary contributions by members, but it can also accept public or private donations. Each year, National Committees are encouraged to fundraise for the Fund when invoicing members for their annual dues, and so far in particular Australia, Belgium, Finland, France and Luxembourg have made contributions. In addition, many colleagues who provided expert reviews in the context of ICOMOS' consultancy work for WMF's 2012 and 2014 World Monument Watch List donated their review fees to the Fund and other members made a donation when registering for the 17th General Assembly. Using 14 300 Euros from the Fund, ICOMOS was thus able to partially support 36 members to attend the 17th General Assembly in 2011. The fund currently holds around 15 000 Euros.
The Fund is managed by the International Secretariat so as to ensure its neutral and equitable use, under the supervision of the Executive Committee, and according to established criteria. The International Secretariat keeps detailed administrative and audited financial records of the use of the Fund and reports annually to the Executive Committee and the donor Committees.
Please help ICOMOS achieve its fundraising objective to double the number of colleagues supported at this year's 18th General Assembly (Florence, Italy)

The basics: Tourists flock to the Archives for a glimpse of the Charters of Freedom, a.k.a. the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, so don't leave this visit to chance. To avoid being one of those frustrated-looking folks waiting in an hour-long general admission line at Ninth Street and Constitution Avenue, make a reservation for a guided tour or a timed-entry ticket by phone or online (877-444-6777, www.archives.gov/nae/visit/reserved-visits.html) up to six months in advance (a $1.50 surcharge applies to each ticket). That way you'll be able to enter through the special events door at Seventh Street and Constitution Avenue (you must arrive 10 minutes early for security screening).The Archives also is home to a wealth of other information, which you can even start exploring before your visit at www.digitalvaults.org.
Insider tip: Marvin Pinkert, director of the National Archives Experience, strongly recommends taking time to explore the public vaults to the left and right of the building's rotunda, where original documents are rotated in six-month increments. One of his favorites, which is on display through August, is a July 16, 1792, from George Washington in which he complains about being tired of sitting for portraits. "Even after he writes this letter, the request came from a fellow Mason [William Joseph Williams], so he felt obliged to sit for the portrait," Pinkert says. "Then we have an image of the portrait. If you wanted to see someone who looked like they never wanted to sit for a portrait again, you've got to see this image."
The collections: The centerpiece of the facility is the Rotunda, a large space that holds the Charters of Freedom. Lines to get into this part of the building can be up to an hour long, so be prepared to wait.
"Public Vaults," a permanent exhibition, uses interactive technology to show more than 1,000 letters, photographs, documents, maps, drawings and audio and visual clips. The display changes periodically, but objects on view have included the iconic photograph of Nixon and Elvis and a letter from a child to Ronald Reagan, requesting disaster relief funds to help clean up his room.
Programs: In its 275-seat William G. McGowan Theater, the museum hosts panel discussions with scholars and screens films relating to historical topics. The Archives also offers free screenings of the Academy Award-nominated films before the award ceremony.
Extras: An introductory video in the William G. McGowan Theater introduces visitors to the Archives experience. A shop and cafe are open Monday through Friday.
Directions/parking: Parking is scarce, but the closest Metro stop is Archives-Navy Memorial (Green and Yellow lines). A D.C. Circulator bus stop is also nearby.
