The cholesterol tends to increase with age but usually causes no symptoms, only detected with a blood test. People with family history of overweight or consuming lots of high-fat meal are very likely to have high cholesterol levels. You can lower cholesterol by performing exercise and consumption of fruits and vegetables. ...

This condition is easily diagnosed by assessing the body mass index and overall constitution of the person. The sum of factors that cause this disease, typical of the XXI century, include a sedentary lifestyle, a poor dietary patterns, and genetic and environmental factors. On the other hand, obesity is often aggravated by a number of other associated diseases, such as diabetes, cholesterol, triglycerides and hypertension, in addition to incur certain social rejection and lead to psychological problems. Also among the population suffering from this disease, there is increased risk of cardiovascular events, particularly in patients with abdominal obesity (an indicator of insulin resistance). The treatment of obesity through the monitoring of the recommendations of endocrine and nutritionists, based on a good individualized dietary plan, and changes in daily routines, especially when it comes to exercise. It is also important to establish these guidelines from childhood to avoid the appearance of so-called childhood obesity. ...
Adrenal glands disorders

Produce, among others, some sex hormones, and particularly hormones t The adrenal glands are essential for a life that lie at the back of the kidneys. Produce, among others, some sex hormones, and particularly hormones that regulate metabolism and cortisol, which helps us respond to stress, and other hormones that control blood pressure and the presence of water and salt in our body. Sometimes there is an excessive or insufficient production of these hormones, causing some of the disorders of the adrenal glands, which are detected through urinalysis and blood. For example, when there is excess cortisol or overactive adrenal cortex we are faced with Cushing's syndrome, which is caused due to the intake of drugs or the development of some tumors and symptoms well defined (legs and very thin arms, fatigue, high blood pressure, blood glucose, bruises all over his body, etc). It is cured by treating the source that causes the disease. Otherwise, inadequate cortisol or underactive suprarrrenal crust, causing the so-called Addison's disease, which arises from an immune problem and requires treatment for life as it can be fatal if not properly treated. ...

This requires a dietary adaptation to the new situation that will be given by the monitoring of a nutrition during pregnancy and lactation diet to ensure proper welfare of mother and child. In both cases, you should follow a balanced diet of 5 meals a day, with plenty of fresh produce (fruits, vegetables), vitamins, cereals, legumes, few sugars and fats, and an extra supply of nutrients during pregnancy of 300 kcal and 500 kcal in infancy. In no case it is healthy eating less or more of the recommended by the specialist to avoid excessive weight loss or to the mother. Also during pregnancy it is also required an extra intake of vitamin B12, iron, and in some cases, calcium. The food that the mother consumes during pregnancy and lactation shape the overall health of the baby and favor the quality of breast milk. ...
Celiac disease is a disease characterized by permanent intolerance to gluten, a glycoprotein present in wheat, barley, rye and oats. It occurs in genetically predisposed individuals suffering from atrophy to the villi of the small intestine, making it difficult to absorb nutrients from some foods. Depending on the degree of intolerance, some other symptoms occur and it is possible that none of them is present. Still, the most common manifestations of this disease are gastrointestinal problems, iron deficiency and colitis. In cases where no apparent signs occur but is diagnosed through routine screening once to avoid eating gluten, the patient will experience a great improvement both physical and mental. ...
Childhood Obesity
Obesity is a disorder of the weight of a person is above what is considered healthy based on their height. Today, childhood obesity is a problem that affects a large number of developed countries where the number of children and adolescents who are overweight is rising alarmingly. Obese children may have serious health problems in adulthood, and heart disease, diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, etc. In addition to the physical consequences, childhood obesity can also involve psychological problems such as low self-esteem, depression or feelings of inferiority, which prevent the child to interact with others and limit their social relationships. Sometimes the weight problem may be caused by a disease or an imbalance of hormones, but more often it is by a poor diet, hence the importance of instilling healthy habits to children. ...
Conduct Disorder
Under the concept of conduct disorder a set of behavioral changes and behavioral development appropriate to the child's age, persistently and with a disproportionate amount are included. Among the most common symptoms of these disorders are disobedience, impulsiveness, inattention, hostility, lies and insults, transgression of social norms, or antisocial character. Among the most common behavioral disorders in children are distinguished: the conduct disorder, a persistent and repeatedly aggressive behavior in which the child acts with hostility to others or their property, intimidating; and hyperkinetic disorders characterized by an early onset, in which predominates a considerable lack of attention in all activities, and a hyperactive, impulsive and undisciplined behavior. In addition, behavioral disorders associated with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), learning problems and clinical disorders (depression, anxiety ...) are presented. ...
Diabetes is a disease characterized by a significant increase in blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia ), whose symptoms are usually fatigue, emaciation produced in a short time, excessive thirst and urination extreme ( even at night ). This pathology is caused by an alteration of the action of insulin, either because it does not exist or because the patient's pancreas no longer make it. This last case is what causes diabetes mellitus or insulin-dependent (type I diabetes), which appears in childhood. In the case of people with diabetes type I, substitute this lack of insulin treatment to be followed for life, proper diet that allows greater control of blood glucose levels throughout the day and about good habits of physical exercise. In contrast, type II diabetes is a consequence of hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, among other causes. Requires more control over diet that is done and sometimes treatment with oral antidiabetic (pills ). Besides, during gestation can also see the unbalanced blood glucose levels, which causes the called gestational diabetes. ...
Diabetes Diet
Diabetes nutrition should be the basic principle of all those patients who wish to have a good control of the disease in both type I diabetes, or insulin, as in type II. The diabetic patient should meet their nutritional needs with nutritionist and establish the foundations for proper control of the disease, based on three pillars: diet, insulin and exercise. Depending on the dose of insulin required (in cases of type I diabetes) and exercise or daily activity carried out in addition to consider other aspects such as developing other diseases diet will be personalized. Furthermore, in diabetes diet 5 meals a day are performed, to always be possible at the same time, in amounts somewhat lower than usual, without neglecting any of the food groups (carbohydrates, fruit, vegetables, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, and water) and balancing carbohydrate intake (65%), protein (15%) and fat (30%). Besides, avoid foods high in cholesterol (sausages and fats) and try to always eat fresh food (never prepared), and control the presence of chromium, zinc and sodium in the diet. Regarding called diabetic food, despite being considered suitable for diet, it is not advisable abused are prepared as products. ...
Diseases of the Pituitary and Hypothalamus
The pituitary is the gland that regulates most of biological processes in the body. It is where the hormones that regulate the reproductive organs, glands and other body developmental stages originate. This gland consists of the anterior pituitary gland, which secretes somatotropin filtered and thyrotropin, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic and gonadotropin, and the posterior pituitary gland, which secretes vasopressin and oxytocin. In children, hipopituitarismos are serious diseases, should not administer treatment can have irreversible consequences. Another pathologies that may suffer are pituitary tumors. ...
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are serious deviations from the behavior that manifest as eating patterns hazardous to health. The common causes and symptoms of this disease include excessive concern about having the desired shape, a distorted view of the body and low self-esteem. Disorders of the most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Tables of anorexia, the person avoids eating, taking laxatives and diuretics, or even to follow slimming performed intense physical exercise, endangering his life. Instead, bulimia alternating periods when the person eats excessive amounts of food binge, followed by purging processes and self-induced vomiting to eliminate and compensate for overeating accompanied by a sense of guilt. In these cases, the emergency treatment of patients is very important, through a comprehensive plan that includes psychotherapy and continuous monitoring. In severe cases, the admission of patients to a specialized center for treatment is necessary. ...

Growth Hormone
Excess secretion of growth hormone disorders often causes certain known with the names of gigantism or acromegaly, characterized by abnormal body growth. When this adrenal disease occurs during the age of growth, before the bony plates have closed, it is called gigantism and the most common cause that causes this disease is a benign tumor that occurs in the pituitary and generates this hormone in excess; if it occurs after this period, it is called acromegaly. Children who suffer from this disease are often extremely large for his age. Some of the symptoms that affected by excessive secretion of growth hormone may be delayed puberty, front and mandibular prominence, large hands and feet with thick fingers, weakness, shortness of side vision, etc. ...
Hypercholesterolemia is the presence of blood cholesterol above normal levels. This increase is often associated with heart problems, diet, sex, lifestyle and endogenous synthesis. Thus the concentration of blood cholesterol hereditary and dietary factors involved, along with other related physical activity. We can distinguish two types of hypercholesterolemia. Primary, derived from problems with cholesterol transporters systems and genetic factors, and the secondary, where the increase in cholesterol is associated with certain liver, endocrine and kidney disease. ...
Hyperparathyroidism is a disorder in which the parathyroid glands produce excess hormones. These glands are located next to the thyroid produces hormones that are responsible for controlling the levels of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D in bone. The production of too much parathyroid hormone (PTH) causes an increase in blood calcium levels, which can affect various organs and produce: primary hyperparathyroidism, which consists of a benign tumor in the parathyroid gland; secondary hyperparathyroidism, usually affecting patients with vitamin D deficiency or renal failure; or tertiary hyperparathyroidism with people suffered serious kidney failure requiring dialysis or performing in very advanced cases, kidney transplant or surgery. Treatment for hyperparathyroidism include exercise, fluid intake and vitamin D, as well as the removal of the gland (in some cases), the administration of medication. This treatment must be personalized, dpendiendo patient. ...
Hyperthyroidism is a metabolic disorder in which the thyroid gland hormones excreted excessively. The most common symptoms of hyperthyroidism are a global increased metabolism, increased heart rate, arrhythmias, insomnia, irritability, nervousness, heat intolerance, weight loss, tremors, tachycardia and, sometimes, a protrusion of the eyeballs. Moreover, hypothyroidism is decreased production of thyroid hormones that, depending on when it occurs, can affect to a greater or lesser extent to the development of vital organs. Idiopathic primary hypothyroidism occurs due to thyroid antibodies, or other cause autoimmune disorders (autoimmune hypothyroidism). Hypothyroidism symptoms of muscle fatigue, shortness of breath or pain in the thyroid area, hair loss, dry skin and rough and progressive deterioration of intellectual activity. Due to the difference between hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism drug treatment it will also be different and adapted to each patient. ...
Hypogonadism is an endocrine disorder caused by low production of certain hormones, testosterone in men and estrogen in women by male and female gonads (testes in men and ovaries in women). The origin of this disorder can be varied from hereditary factors, a result of some surgeries, or autoimmune diseases, kidney, liver problems, infections. The most common symptoms of hypogonadism are: in women, loss of menstruation and pubic hair, hot flashes, low libido ,,,; and in men, loss of hair on beard and body, loss of muscle tone, breast enlargement and erection problems. The low production of testosterone in men is known as male hypogonadism, while the low production of testosterone from the testis is called hypogonadism. ...
Hypopituitarism is the lack of segregation of hormones by the pituitary gland that can be total or partial, depending on the degree of damage, producing changes in some organs. Furthermore, the lack of thyroid hormones and impaired reproduction can also affect blood pressure. In women, the most common manifestations of this disease are changes in menstrual cycle, decreased libido, and infertility. And in men, hypopituitarism can cause decreased muscle strength, decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. Anyway, hypopituitarism is a progressive disease, so symptoms are not too evident and usually occur gradually. Some of the most common causes of hypopituitarism are: head injuries, tumors, brain infections or radiation, genetic diseases and other disorders caused by the immune system. ...
The hypothalamus is a small hormonal gland, the size of a pea, located in the center of the brain. Their task is to control and regulate each and every gland body functions, such as energy levels, sleep cycles, temperature, blood pressure, muscle function, immune system, among other functions. This gland depends on external factors and receives all information from every part of the body. Parallel changes and resets the functions of our body. Once filtered information, the hypothalamus sends orders to the body in two ways: the autonomous nervous system, through the spinal cord, the pituitary gland and, through the endocrine system. ...
Hypothyroidism is the decreased production of thyroid hormones that, depending on when it occurs, can affect to a greater or lesser extent to the development of vital organs. Suffers a very small percentage of the population and their causes can be congenital, environmental, removal of the thyroid gland or treatment with various drugs such as iodine or lithium. For hypothyroidism in children, caused by congenital causes, it is often done to babies clinic (heel prick) test. On the other hand, because during early pregnancy, expectant mothers require an unusual effort on your thyroid gland, one of the risks encountered is hypothyroidism during pregnancy, to be monitored especially for the successful development the fetus and the health of the mother. Idiopathic primary hypothyroidism occurs due to thyroid antibodies, or other cause autoimmune disorders (autoimmune hypothyroidism). Usually have symptoms of muscle fatigue, shortness of breath or pain in the thyroid area, hair loss, dry skin and rough and progressive deterioration of intellectual activity. ...
Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia is a metabolic disorder of the body. The liver, muscle and adipose tissue react to the action of insulin, the hormone produced by the pancreas to glucose distribute and maintain blood sugar levels. The pancreas produces more insulin and can lead to diabetes. ...
Ketogenic diet
The ketogenic diet reduces carbohydrate intake to promote fat oxidation diet. Some ketogenic diets allow the intake of fruits and/or vegetables, but in very controlled amounts. Other completely eliminate even the intake of cereals, flour, bread and also, fruits, vegetables and legumes. Such diets, always under medical control, this indicated the epileptic children. ...
It is called menopause to the disappearance of menstrual periods of women on a permanent basis because of the arrest of ovarian cycle. Arrivals at an age (on average at age 50), the ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone, which are female hormones. For men, this process is called andropause, which is the loss of sexual power because of the low levels of the hormone testosterone in the body. The process of menopause can last a few years, and involves symptoms such as changes in the menstrual cycle, insomnia, vaginal dryness, mood disturbance, difficulty concentrating, hot flashes, weight gain, headache, increased facial hair, etc. . Some of these symptoms requiring medical treatment, such as intake synthetic hormones or tracking a diet indicated for reducing these troublesome symptoms. ...
Menopause Diet
Menopause is a stage in women which is characterized by a decrease in estrogen. Although not a disease, this phase of life can lead to discomfort, physical and psychological, that require attention and care to prevent future ailments. Among them, we must analyze and adapt the diet of women nutrition for menopause and osteoporosis, which can help cope with this change in the body. Input, diet during menopause should not change if eating habits were correct, it must be preventive to help maintain good health. Therefore, it must be balanced and low in fat to avoid being overweight, the appearance of excess cholesterol or diabetes.

metabolic diseases
The metabolic diseases are those that are dealt, inter alia, through the feed. The most common are obesity, diabetes, cholesterol and hypertension.
Metabolic syndrome
Metabolic syndrome, or plurimetabolic syndrome is the association of different health problems that can occur simultaneously or in a sequence in the same patient. Insulin resistance, genetics, environment and lifestyle are the most common causes related to this syndrome that involves a number of risks to their health, so they must be controlled immediately by a specialist. The insulin resistance causes diabetes is associated with a rise in blood pressure, increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels, obesity and waist area. The main causes of the appearance of this painting, especially in people over 40 years but also younger, are prolonged stress over time, poor diet, and long fasting between meals. The general pattern of these patients is that of a person who, after a period with this rhythm of life, suddenly suffer a decline in their quality of life and health (commonly called "downer") without seeming be sick. ...
Osteoporosis diet
Osteoporosis is bone loss normally associated with aging, originating from age 40, but is closely linked to other vital periods as menopause in women or certain chronic diseases. Generally, often it produces no symptoms, although the fragility and bone fractures, especially hip and femur is associated, and persistent pain and deformation. To prevent and mitigate these symptoms and the onset of the disease itself, it is advisable to follow a diet for osteoporosis. This food guide is based on the introduction of calcium and vitamin D in adequate doses, which should already followed since childhood, and takes into account an adjustment in healthy habits such as physical exercise and the abandonment of inactivity, consumption alcohol and snuff, or the abuse of drugs such as corticosteroids. The physician should prescribe the form and amounts of foods in this diet custom mode, depending on the medical history of each woman. ...
The parathyroid glands are endocrine glands in the neck, the size of a pea. Most people have 4 parathyroid glands on the thyroid gland; however, some people have up to 5 or more. The function of the parathyroid gland is totally different from the thyroid. Produce parathyroid hormone (PTH), which helps the body maintain the balance between calcium and phosphorus. Disorders occur when the parathyroid gland produces excessive amounts of hormone or scarce, upsetting the balance. If there is too much PTH hyperparathyroidism occurs, increasing the level of calcium in blood. But if not produce enough PTH, the imbalance is called hypoparathyroidism, taking blood too little calcium and excessive phosphorus. ...
Pathology of puberty
Puberty is the period, after childhood, between 9 and 20 years old approximately. At this stage psychological, biological, sexual and social changes, which can lead to certain diseases occur. Among the best-known disorders highlights puberty delayed puberty, in which a boy or a girl, arrived 14 years, it has not yet started the physical and psychological development into adolescence. This late development may be due to genetic factors, hormonal causes, chromosomal abnormalities or tumors that affect hormone secretion glands or hypothalamus. Instead, another disorder associated called early puberty is the beginning of physical changes in children prematurely (before age 12): in girls is often caused development of breast button below seven years and pubic hair before eight; and children is the appearance of pubic hair and genitals elongation between 7 and 10 years. Both early and late puberty can occur only partially or completely. ...
Pregnancy is the period of 40 weeks from fertilization to birth in which the fetus is gestated.
Simple goiter
Goiter, or thyroid goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland that is characterized by the appearance of a bulge in the anterior neck that often push the trachea, which leads to difficulty in breathing and swallowing, and can even cause hoarseness. It is often caused by a disruption of hormones gland, cysts or a diet low in iodine. According to the characteristics of goiter it can be classified as diffuse goiter, characterized by a steady increase in the gland; nodular goiter or multinodular goitre, which is the development of one or more nodes due to enlargement of the thyroid. Besides, goiter may be accompanied by hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism associated with symptoms such as nervousness, weight loss, cold intolerance, dry skin, among others. If goiter with hypothyroidism usually pharmacological treatment to shrink occurs. If that occurs with hyperthyroidism, can be removed by surgery, radioiodine or treated with drugs. ...
The thyroid is an endocrine gland that produces hormones. These control the rate at which the body burns calories or heartbeat. The thyroid gland may suffer various diseases: The thyroid is enlarged Hyperthyroidism: When the gland produces more thyroid hormone than necessary Hypothyroidism occurs when not enough hormone Thyroid cancer Thyroid nodules: lumps in the gland Thyroiditis: swelling of the gland ...
Thyroid disorders
The thyroid gland is located just below the nut at the bottom of the neck in front of the trachea, and function is to regulate body metabolism. The thyroid is composed of follicles that are originating thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine, together with iodine. In the case of having some kind of disease in the thyroid gland, the patient may perceive the appearance of a lump or your own size and the consequences that may trigger the body. Detecting problems gland is performed through a simple blood test. ...
Thyroid nodules
The thyroid nodule is a growth of abnormal cells in the thyroid gland, which are usually identified by lumps in the neck area. These thyroid nodules are benign in most cases (9 of 10), but sometimes may be carcinogenic. If the nodule becomes filled with fluid or blood, it is known as thyroid cyst. These nodules, which in most cases does not usually give any symptoms, can produce discomfort in swallowing, breathing or cause hoarseness. In addition, they may be accompanied by hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, and are produced by a production of unnecessary hormones for the body, a deficiency of iodine in the diet or genetic factors. Treatment will depend on whether the thyroid nodules are benign or cancerous. In the latter case, the different treatments ranging from the application of high-dose thyroid hormones or surgical removal of nodules. ...
Thyroiditis is inflammation of the thyroid, which can cause malfunction of the gland resulting in hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. It is usually associated with other disorders caused by a weak immune system. There are different types of thyroiditis as the cause that causes: chronic thyroiditis or acute thyroiditis. Hashimoto's thyroiditis, known as chronic thyroiditis, is an autoimmune origin and can cause hypothyroidism, with symptoms such as pain in the thyroid and difficulty swallowing. They also tend to suffer it middle-aged women and may be hereditary. Moreover, acute thyroiditis is produced by bacteria and causes abscess thyroid area. ...
Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging procedure that allows you to view organs and soft structures within the body. It is made using high-frequency sound waves that are emitted by a transducer that captures the echo of different amplitudes which occurs bounce off the organs. These signals, when processed by a computer, give a series of images of the tissues examined. Today may be two-dimensional, three-dimensional or 4-dimensional images. Ultrasound is a noninvasive technique, in which no radiation used and thus is used to visualize fetuses that are being formed. This procedure can differentiate clearly the shape and size of each structure within the body. In medicine it is used to see the heart, kidneys, liver and blood vessels, among other organs. ...

About the Author: Mitul Desai serves as Senior Advisor for Outreach for South and Central Asian Affairs.
As the first-ever Senior Advisor for Outreach in the State Department's Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, I am responsible for building partnerships with South and Central Asia-focused non-governmental entities, such as businesses, non-profits, civil society organizations, and Diaspora groups. Secretary Clinton and my boss -- Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Robert Blake -- deeply believe that we can strengthen our relations with South and Central Asia by leveraging the multiple resources that outside partners bring to the table. And by creating positions like mine, this vision is being put into action.
Although I come from the private sector, serving my country has been a lifelong dream. Serving in a role that lets me utilize my diverse background makes it that much more special. Before joining government, I specialized in health care, finance, and law. I worked at global law firms, a multinational corporation, an international investment bank, and a nonprofit. Because I was always drawn to public service, I spent much of my free time on public policy issues, particularly those impacting South Asia and South Asian Americans. I hope to use my background to reach out to a broad range of potential partners.
Since the State Department's work touches on virtually every important global issue today, the number of projects and relationships we can build together is limited only by our creativity. We mean it when we say the State Department's door is open for any individual or organization who has an interest in South or Central Asia and a good idea. Because as Secretary Clinton herself said, "in the Obama Administration, we seek collaboration whenever possible."
All Americans have a special role to play in helping realize Secretary Clinton's vision for 21st Century diplomacy. So I look forward to hearing from you and to finding that unique role for you. There's lots to be done, so let's get to work!

It's hard for me to calculate the odds of a phrase as specific as this one being used in exactly the type of terrorist context that appears in two posts as comment here on Dipnote several days prior to this hearing.
That there would be some connection might well be dismissed.
Well I did mention here that I had invited some "big guns" to weight in on the issue of "Us and Them" as a teachable moment and sent a cordial "drill seargent's perspective" that this blog "wasn't no namby-pamby blog" to the Association of Former US Ambassadors...been lookin' for that RSVP ever since, and I'm wondering if that staffer at Sen. Lugar's office is now somehow trying to send me a subtle answer to the results of my myth busting expedition...as I had once suggested the Committe members keep tabs on what DoS is doing by checking out this blog frequently...and one good belly laugh deserves another I suppose...since "my onus" I told him was "to bust the all-pervasive urban myth in the American mindset that our government doesn't give a .... what we, the public, thinks."
Actually... you get paid to bust this myth globally Mitul....how cool is that?
Since I'n not, the only thing I can possibly be interested in is results, right? I don't work for a "special interest" unless it's my own.
And now you know why I find myself in the land of lost contemplation so frequently...when I hear things repeated back that seem to indicate the outreach is working.

Partnerships to do what?
A partner is liable for the obligations incurred by his other partners within the course and scope of the partnership.
So what obligations and liabilities are being created on behalf of the United States with these "partnerships"?
What are the goals of these partnerships with NGO's?
How do foreign governments view State Dept. attempts to influence their populations through NGO partnerships?
Is U.S. influence on their NGO groups seen as benign, or as subversive?
Do we need to become involved in Asia as we have with the "color revolutions" in Eastern Europe?
Is the State Dept. attempting to use foreign NGO groups to create pressure on foreign leaders to act against their better judgement as to what is in their own national interest?

Dear Mr. Desai,
Congratulations and welcome to the State Dept.
I read your blog above, and you have quite a background. Nice.
I am the outgoing president of FeTNA (Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America, "www.fetna.org"), the largest umbrella association of North American Tamils in the US. I have been in touch with Secy. Blake on Tamils' related issues, ever since he was the US Ambassador in Colombo few years ago. I originally hail from TamilNadu, but been in US for 30+years now. I am a physical scientist at the Climate Prediction Center with the US Dept. of Commerce.
I am coming to see Secy. Blake (upon his request to meet with a few of us) on this coming Wednesday afternoon at the State Dept. I hope to get a chance to say hello to you and looking forward to seeing you then.

Hi Mitual,
Congratulations on a very exciting role that you have.
I hope you make just a few key changes in the way the US has been helping India.
For one, India is full of very beautiful non replicable programs that get huge traction because of their leaders but have not been able to scale up their promise. For example, the wonderful work at Tilonia, Rajasthan in contrast to the work done by Seva of Gujarat. We should help Seva scale up and praise Tilonia but not lose money on them.
We should pick up American projects like One Laptop per Child and help India see the benefit of changing its future sooner than later. India has not managed to get the bottom 80% of its children to get to any kind of learning and has mostly produced children who are good to be domestic help at best. The elite are able to get education as good as anywhere and they barely constitute 5%. The rest are deprived of an opportunity to jon the world we live in.
Since you also have a mandate to bring the diaspora together, please help them elevate their vision of engaging with the nation they left behind. If each successful member of the Indian diaspora in the US adopted just the village they left behind to learn with OLPC approach, India will be a changed country in 15 years like it has not managed to in the past 60. Education has the highest ROI of all investments we can make on this planet. And we should help them move in that direction.
Hope you will support the initiatives that are far from cosmetic and have a foundational impact like OLPC does. Hope you will also support American technology driven social initiatives that have proven results rather than just cosmetic ones.
Best of luck in your new appointment and role and will be glad to support what you do in whichever way possible.
Warm regards,

They all look fantastic, ...
...Did you find the 77% hydration doughs challenging to handle (sticking to peel)?
If the Semolina burned on the bottom, I couldn't taste it.
They look delicious!! Great results, especially with the high dome on your first try. I'm impressed.
I am actually having trouble keeping the floor hot enough to match the dome.

More MemoriesPosted Tuesday, March 11, 2008, at 11:00 PM
This photo was taken in front (the Elm Street side) of the old library before it was a library. That's me on the left and my friend Carol Hunting on the right. The blinds are up in the living room, because my baby sister was inside, looking out, and we built the snowman for her to see. I think she was sick and couldn't come out, so she asked to see his face, and we put another one on the window side.
Others are mysterious - like the "Haunted Holmes," and we'd like to know more about it.
I have several more photos of the old library, taken in the mid-fifties, when my family lived there, just before the library board gathered up enough money to turn it into a library. It was an absolutely magical place to live - full of cubbyholes and corners, never boring.
The room you can see off to the left in the photo was a sunroom with screened and (I think) glassed windows all around. I don't recall that we used it for much of anything, but I did sleep out there in the summertime sometimes, and I remember the sound of the turtle doves in the big oaks in the yard.
Not many people had air-conditioning in that era, but the Elm Street house was always cool, probably because of the thick walls. The old, original kitchen was especially cool, since it had extremely thick brick walls and was situated in the back, away from the rest of the house. There was no heat in it, so we only used it in the summer. My bedroom was once in there, too, and another time we used it as a summer dining room.
I'm putting my sister to work finding more of the old photos. Our dad was an amateur photographer and developed his own photos over at the home of a fellow flight instructor. My little sister was his favorite subject. She was just a toddler during our time on Elm Street.
She's also the one who almost set the house on fire by playing with matches in my brothers' front bedroom, just off the screened-in front porch. She couldn't have been over two or three, when it happened, and she was so frightened that she ran out and shut the door behind her, thinking it would go away, I'm sure... We had to call the fire department, and it was all quite exciting.
Those were happy times.
We've also been talking about Malden Air Base on the Memphis blog, since Mrsdolphin is curious about the old Army barracks, which have been torn down. We can't seem to agree on which buildings they were. I've also put my sister to finding the old photos from our time on the base (before the move to Dexter). I think it would make a fun blog.
It would be cool if some of the "old timers" in the area would try their hand at blogging about the old days - especially giving the history they remember about the old homes. I know the Statesman is looking for bloggers. If you're interested, contact Editor Bobby Greer and check into it.
One way or another, it looks as if I need to come down to Dexter and take some photos of the old buildings we're talking about. I don't know, though; is it legal to post pictures of someone's house? I'll bet I need to get their permission - except in the case of the little house across from the Christian Church - the one that lovebooks says is for sale.
How about it, folks? What are your favorite houses in your town? Oh, wow, Yellow Rose, there is a fantastic old house in Essex! What's the story on that one???

MD, what year/years did your brothers go to school at Boyd? That was the last country school my at which my dad taught(1960-61), before teaching at Central.
I've been reading some of the archived blogs trying to figure out who GL is.
BTW, on one of the blogs you mentioned the book,"Dexter A Pictorial History" I compiled the section on, "Log Cabins to Mansions and Their Families". Thanks for your comment about the book.

The world, along with the recent weather, scare me. Ever wonder if it's truly nearing the end? Wow...just the thought of that gets me all nervous and thinking. I just hope this weather isn't a sign of things to come. My great aunt has always said that, in weather, there are 2 extremes that fall back to back. So I'm wondering just how very true that may be. If it is, and we had such an oddball winter...I'm wondering if I don't want to try and hibernate through spring too.
And I looked it up a few weeks ago (right after the first of our torential (sp?) rains) and the Farmer's Almanac, which is usually so very close on how the weather will be, was WAAAAY off on our rainfall totals this year. According to what they've recorded, we've just experienced our whole years worth of rainfall in March.

So sad that so much history is being lost. Unfortunately there are so few people who really care any more. Anyone who has dealt with rental properties understands how hard it is to get tenants who will treat the property well. I had so many memories from growing up on the airbase, but my "home" was torn down several years ago. But it's always nice to reminisce. My husband and I just moved to southern Illinois from central Illinois and are thinking of going to visit with the kids in Bluff this weekend. We were hoping to ride the motorcycle but with the weather forecast, not likely to happen. Keep posting the wonderful memories.

Madeline Dejournett's response:Do be careful, as Poplar Bluff has had MASSIVE problems with the flooding!
And, to complicate matters, it's gonna be in the upper 20's tonight! Can you believe the weather we've had this year???? The world is turning topsy turvy!!!
Ghosts in Pyletown? Well, that would make a trip down there imminently worth it!
How's the flood situation south of Dexter?
People in North Stoddard County are having to crack out the old maps to find creative ways to get from one town to another. It certainly pays to know the backroads right now.

I remember the house across from the old library. At one time the pastor from the church and his family lived there, and that's when I remember playing in it (that was my neighborhood). And yes, it was torn down for parking. The last family that lived in it just absolutely trashed it. You could drive by there at night and see a dozen kids running around with all the lights on, and you could see inside, and it was awful. Do you all remember the kind of boarding house type house on the corner of Vine and Elm? Had like a closed in porch upstairs and I think I remember being told it was a boarding house at one time. It was also torn down.
And here's a biggy that I remember fondly: Corner of Walnut Street and Carter. Huge white house with green shutters. The lady that lived there alone owned the two small rent houses on the first block of Carter. Now a brick house sits there that used to be the PCA office. But that house was amazing, inside and out.
MD, you wouldn't remember the "funeral home" house because it wasn't there when I was a kid trekking down Worley Road. It's a relatively new style house. In fact, when I was a kid there weren't any houses on that road except a couple of tiny shack types. The Worleys had the nice house on the road, across from a huge white gorgeous barn. It's still there, but it's about to fall down.
-- Posted by lovebooks on Wed, Mar 19, 2008, at 2:03 PM
Madeline Dejournett's response:Well, I don't remember a barn, so I guess I need to take another drive through Dexter. I also don't remember a boarding house or the one next to the church. I barely remember the church. Mmm..we went to Bible School there one summer. I guess parking lots are always an issue for a church, but I do hate to see an old house torn down for that purpose. Seems unchristian, somehow!
MD, you bring up yet another part of history that's so dilapidated, I don't think there's any chance of bringing it back...and that's Pyletown. That poor old town has seen some better days. From what I've heard, it had some really interesting quirks about it. But, of course, it also has it's haunted stories...like any other town that looks that way. They could be true, but I doubt it.
Oh, and there used to be a house on Vine Street here in Dexter that some of you may have stories about. It was right across from the old library, and if I remember right, it was yellow or tan in color. It was 2 or 3 stories, right next door to the church. One of my best friends from middle and high school lived there once upon a time, but I was only allowed to visit a couple times. Now they've torn it down and made a bigger church parking lot. I'm sure one of you have a story about it. From what I remember, it wasn't in very good condition, but you could tell it had a bit of age to it. And there was also a large brick one that sat across from the one with the circle room on the corner of Mulberry and Castor. What was the story on it? It was just torn down last year...though it didn't actually look in that bad of shape.
By the way, thanks lovesbooks...not sure where my manners went yesterday.

Oops,forgot,the Ross House is in Essex,on the right as soon as you hit the city limits going south on FF.Got a little excited there,although Essex has several nice older homes that have been restored.
I think of my own ancestral home,built at the turn of 1970 in a classic "ranch style"with the 3 bedroom,1 bath some idiot dreamed up until the kids came along.Yes,the King has his own throne now,well when the Queen isn't busy-haha.
I'll hear about that.
-- Posted by Yellow Rose of Essex on Wed, Mar 19, 2008, at 12:05 PM
Madeline Dejournett's response:Yellow Rose, this is exactly the house I was asking about! Anyone who's been to Essex can't miss it! What a treasure! (No offense to your 1970 "classic ranch style..."
The 3 story house white house (it was blue or gray before) was built by a Dr.Hux at the turn of the century. It is spectacular inside,has a LOT of bathrooms and bedrooms,parlors,big old kitchen,and the third floor has an awesome view.It has a basement/root cellar along with the three full stories. Mrs.Helen Ross owns it now,her late husband and her bought it from the Hux Estate in about 1980,and put a boatload of money into restoring it,upgrading electrical,plumbing and heating/AC. It has all the original woodwork,and Mr.Ross was a stickler for authenticity.
(I guess the white vinyl siding is the exception,but it's tough painting a house that huge,or finding someone to paint it).
What I find fascinating is it has a garage,and the 2nd garage is another smaller house.Mrs.Wilson (Dr.Hux' daughter)lived in the main house with her hubby and her batchelor brother Dick Hux had his "pad" out back. My Mom says he drove an El Camino and golfed a lot.
I only know Mrs.Ross,very wonderful,sweet,hard working lady who you see working outside a lot,with her daughter and grandkids.
It had been for sale but never sold(a long time ago) you have to have some moolah to keep up/heat/cool/insure/pay taxes on this beauty.
EVERYBODY in and around Essex says "when I win Powerball,I'm going to try to buy the Ross house..."
Yeah,you'll need Powerball Bucks!:)

Well...lovebooks...the things that made us wonder if it was once a funeral home were:
There are a set of double doors at the south end of the front of the house that looked like the doors the family members would exit on the side of the building.
Then there's the circle drive.
Last but not least, there's the carport and the way it's built.
I don't know for sure if it is...but it sure did give a striking resemblance (?) of one. I still haven't heard anything either. I did go to the city hall, and request one of those forms where you can request information on the home. But they wanted to charge $10.00 an hour for their research time (and they gave themselves 3 days to research), and 10 cents per piece of paper that the report produced. I felt that was a bit on the outrageous side...so I passed and hoped there would be a sign there sooner or later.
-- Posted by mrsdolphin on Tue, Mar 18, 2008, at 4:00 PM
Madeline Dejournett's response:Lovebooks, as you can see, it's our dear, young-in-years-but-old-in-mind Mrsdolphin who wanted that information. I might remember the house if I were to see it again, but I can't place it right now. Still, thanks for the follow-up.
As neat as the library house was to live in, an even neater place was the last one where we lived - on the Pyletown Road. We called it the Smith Farm. I don't remember which Smith owned it, but it was at the top of the hill, across from the Boyd country school, where my brothers had the good fortune to go. It was a large, two-story white frame house with four bedrooms and a large hall upstairs. There was an enormous old barn out back. Now, that's life! I wish I could see it again, but it burned years ago.
MrsD, I drove past that house on Worley Road you were wondering about. It looks empty, but there isn't a sign in front of it. It would sure amaze me if it was ever a funeral home, though.
-- Posted by lovebooks on Tue, Mar 18, 2008, at 10:57 AM
The barracks at the Northeast Corner of Highway 25 have been torn down. Those are the ones I've been referring to. I drove by last Tuesday just to make sure those were the ones that were torn down, and sure enough, they were!
-- Posted by sc1120 on Sun, Mar 16, 2008, at 9:34 PM
Madeline Dejournett's response:Wow, sc2210, I was just talking about you! You posted at exactly the same time as I did!
Well, I guess we don't need for you to take a picture of where the barracks USED to be, do we??
Most of the barracks buildings have been torn down on the airbase for many years. I think there are still 3-4 right at the northeastern corner at the edge of highway 25. I grew up living in one of the duplexes back across from the softball fields in the 70's. There may be one or two barracks buildings back toward the airport but I am not sure. I haven't been down memory lane in about five years out there. Maybe the next time I am down home I will do that, just to relive the childhood and all the fun we had there.
-- Posted by SKDellinger on Sat, Mar 15, 2008, at 10:49 PM
Madeline Dejournett's response:Next person to go down there needs to take pictures! When you get them, let me know, and I'll figure a way to post them on here.
My sister wants to come over to Southeast Missouri in early April, and we for sure want to go down to the air base and poke around. We also plan to go to that reunion in September. She's already contacted the association through that site that one of our blogger buddies mentioned.
All right! A mystery!!! Blogger mysteries solved here!! I love it!!!
-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, Mar 13, 2008, at 5:13 PM
Mrs. D, I'm on the prowl. I'll find out something because I have a friend that lived at the top of that hill. We used to play all around that water tower, and the gulleys behind it. I used to be scared to death to walk down that hill toward Worley's pond without my brother or his buddies because there was a pack of dogs that would go crazy.
I'll find out about the house!
-- Posted by lovebooks on Thu, Mar 13, 2008, at 9:32 AM
Ok lovesbooks...you seem to be quite a buff when it comes to who lived/lives where and when...so can I ask you something?
There's a house on Worley Rd. (the dead end hill that is off East Grant by the big water tower at the end of Locust (I believe), and an elderly couple just packed up and moved away and plan on selling it for cheap. It is a tan brick home with a circle drive, and it somewhat looks like an old funeral home. It's the third house down on the left, and was owned by a man by the name of Bob Colove. Do you know the place? If so, is it an old funeral home? We've tried contacting the owners to see what they would sell it for, but their number has been disconnected. But I think my husband would have a hard time living there if it is, in fact, an old funeral home. Thanks for any info you may have!

I remember Carol Hunting! And Peter Hunting! They lived on Chautauqua Lane in yet another neat old house on the corner of either Forrest or Rannells. And it's still there.
-- Posted by lovebooks on Wed, Mar 12, 2008, at 11:09 AM
Madeline Dejournett's response:Yes, indeed! That was a neat old house - much better than the new one which they built in that subdivision in the hills to the south of town. My sister-in-law, brother-in-law and I were in Dexter Sunday, driving around, waiting for the 2:30 movie - We drove through the subdivision where the Huntings built a house, but I couldn't even recognize it! My family had a lot out there and were getting ready to build, when Malden Air Base closed, and we had to move.
When Carol and I were freshmen, I would have to wait at the bottom of the hill for her, because our old '53 Ford station wagon would slip out of second gear, and I would roll screaming back down the hill. So, when I took her home, she would hold the gear shift in second gear, while I used both hands to steer up that crooked hill! It was so much FUN!! We laughed and laughed.
I guess you remember that Pete Hunting was killed in the Peace Corps, don't you? They were a wonderful family! Her dad was a flight instructor at Malden Air Base, too.

Here's how RW members rated this race (1044 votes).
In short: Awesome race. Well done Chris and AndyIn full: A truly memorable race for all the right reasons. Organisation, Parking, Local support, Route, Marshallers and cadet force helpers, Medal, goody bag were all first rate. Definitely pb potential. An excellent advert for a lovely city. Well done Chester. Others sit up and take note!Date of review: October 11, 2011
Date of review: October 11, 2011
In short: The people of Chester should be proud of themselves.In full: Amazing support from everyone and very well organised race. My only gripe was the advertised flat course wasn't that flat. Oh and my other gripe, if you want bottles put in bins you need to open the bin lids first. Apsrt from that great race, albeit a bit challenging towards the end.Date of review: October 11, 2011
In short: fast well organised marathon if you do one marathon or its your first then this is a must do raceIn full: My fifth marathon today and what a day. This marathon has it all. Pre race communication and booklet excellent. Parking at the course was great.The course is flat and fast in the first half. The last 8 miles are more undulating with a few hills,especially the hill at 24. The support of the crowds (who all knew your name due to your name being on your number)and the superb marshalls was positively uplifting. This event will soon be hard to get into. Who needs London when you have Chester. Will be back in 2012. Well done Chris and AndyDate of review: October 11, 2011
In short: Awesome!In full: First full marathon, and so glad with my choice. The organisation was impeccable, and the support around the route was so inspiring. Wasn't sure when I saw my name on the number, but actually hearing strangers calling out your name and willing you along made a massive difference.Finishing at the racecourse worked well - nice place for the family to watch you come in.I'll be back (despite saying this was going to be a one-off!).Date of review: October 11, 2011
In short: A great marathon for anyone!In full: This was going to be my 6th and last marathon but I had such a good time I may do it again! The course was great, scenic and varied. The support from marshalls and residents was fabulous, even people with their own little juice stations and jelly babies. Lovely feel to this race and the racecourse start and finish was great. Thank you!Date of review: October 11, 2011
In short: Best organisation I've ever seen at a raceIn full: Wow, this was an amazingly organised race. Brilliant facilities at the racecourse (athletes village), well catered aid stations, great medal, technical t-shirt and goody bag and even the race director shaking you hand at the end!!! Surely he didn't stay there for the whole 3000+ runners? I couldn't have hoped for a better run marathon. Relatively flat course with two slight inclines one at 17 miles and one at 24. The one at 24 felt a lot bigger than it actually was (45 feet, according to Garmin). I'll say it again, amazing organisation, thanks. Date of review: October 11, 2011
In short: Excellent but hilly and undulating back 10 milesIn full: Found it hard from Farndon onwards but the support made a massive differance,would recomend for all types of runners will be back next year hopfully minus a stincking head cold which added 25 mins to my target time, still hasn't put me off trying next year.Date of review: October 11, 2011

Nvidia Corp. has been very quiet about its next-gen graphics processing units (GPUs) based on Kepler architecture and publicly said that the chips will only be available in 2012. At the recent conference call with financial analysts, Nvidia's chief exec broke the silence and hinted that thanks to Kepler-generation GPUs the company had managed to win massive amount of notebook designs and that the chips would hit mass production shortly.
When asked about continuously increasing operating expenditures (OpEx) - $359.6 million OpEx in Q3 FY2012 is expected to increase to $372 million in Q4 FY2012 - chief executive officer of Nvidia said that the company needs to spend additional amount of money on 28nm production ramp up and customer engineering. Apparently, Nvidia has managed to win an unprecedented amount of contracts with its next-generation GPUs based on Kepler architecture and made using 28nm process technology. Since all notebooks are different, Nvidia engineers help laptop makers to integrate the GPUs into their systems and balance specifications in order to enable flawless operation.
"The vast majority of the increase is coming from the very significant increase in design wins that we have in several areas. We have more notebook design wins for the Ivy Bridge cycle than we ever had in notebooks; this is likely the most successful notebook cycle we have ever experienced. And so we have got a lot of engineers dedicated to getting those notebooks into production," said Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia.
Besides, the company is in the beginning of the 28nm ramp up curve, which means that it needs to invest into new designs tape outs. What is important is that there are GeForce "Kepler" GPUs that will go into production shortly and will thus be available early next year.
"There is a portion [of operating expenditures] that is related to 28nm tape-out of new processors that will go into production shortly," said Mr. Huang.
Kepler is Nvidia's next-generation graphics processor architecture that is projected to bring considerable performance improvements and will likely make the GPU more flexible in terms of programmability, which will speed up development of applications that take advantage of GPGPU (general purpose processing on GPU) technologies. Some of the technologies that Nvidia promised to introduce in Kepler and Maxwell (the architecture that will succeed Kepler) include virtual memory space (which will allow CPUs and GPUs to use the "unified" virtual memory), pre-emption, enhance the ability of GPU to autonomously process the data without the help of CPU and so on. Entry-level chips may not get all the features that Kepler architecture will have to often.
"The reason for our [design win] success, I believe, is because our Kepler generation of GPUs was designed for intense energy efficiency. With energy efficiency, we were able to translate that to simultaneously higher performance, as well as longer battery life," explained Mr. Huang.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 18, 2010) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team overcame a slow start to defeat Peru 27-25, 25-22, 25-17 on Friday afternoon to open the IX Women's Pan American Cup in Tijuana, Mexico.
The U.S. battled back from a 13-7 deficit in the first set to tie the score at 15-all, but need a second comeback to rally from a 20-16 deficit to win the opener 27-25. Team USA broke a 7-all tie in the second set with an 8-3 scoring run and held off Peru 25-22 in the middle stanza. The Americans never trailed in the third set, using a 6-2 scoring spurt to break a 3-all tie en route to a 25-17 victory to end the match.
"After a slow start we settled down and started to play better," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand said. "We found a way to win the first set against a team of Peru that played good volleyball."
Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) led the U.S. scoring with 14 points, including nine kills on 15 swings, a team-high four blocks and an ace. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) added 11 points via eight kills on 23 swings, two blocks and an ace. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) contributed seven kills on 10 errorless attacks to go with two blocks and an ace. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) collected nine kills on 24 attacks to go with a block. Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) added seven kills on 17 attacks and a block. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) tallied three kills on four errorless attacks, while Ogonna Nnamani (Bloomington, Ill.) rounded out the scoring with a kill.
"We didn't play our best volleyball but we are happy with the victory," Metcalf said. "I am very proud of my teammates and I hope we keep improving during the tournament."
Metcalf produced a team-high five digs, while Glass had 31 running sets on 79 attempts. Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) had five excellent service receptions on 11 errorless attempts.
McCutcheon started Glass at setter, Metcalf at opposite, Akinradewo and Bown at middle blocker, and Larson and Hodge at outside hitter. Sykora was the designated libero for the match. Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.), Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) and Nnamani all were subs in the first two sets.
Playing in her first official international match with the U.S. Women's National Team, Glass helped the Americans to the sweep by setting the team to a 46 kill percent and .323 hitting efficiency. Team USA out-blocked Peru 11-4 for the match, while holding a 3-1 advantage in aces and 44-37 margin in kills. Peru did have a 22-12 advantage in digs and was positive on 83 percent of its service receptions.
Peru's Yulissa Zamudio had a team-high 10 points in the losing effort, while Jessenia Ucedia added eight points.
"Our poor reception and the high blocking of USA were the keys today," Korean Choel Yong Kim said about his Peruvian side.
The U.S., grouped in Pool B, continues action on Saturday afternoon against Puerto Rico at 3 p.m. PT at Tijuana. Other USA pool matches include June 20 and June 21 matches against Trinidad & Tobago and Costa Rica, respectively. Both are set for 6 p.m. PT at Rosarita, Mexico. The Americans conclude pool play against tournament host Mexico on June 22 at 7 p.m. PT in Tijuana. The Pan American Cup is a qualifying event into the 2011FIVB World Grand Prix.
In other Pan American Cup action on Friday, Puerto Rico faces Costa Rica at 6 p.m. PT and Mexico hosts Trinidad & Tobago at 7 p.m. PT in Pool B action. In Pool A, Canada challenges Argentina at 4 p.m. PT and Cuba takes on Brazil at 5 p.m. in an early showdown to top teams.
After the U.S. gained the first two points of the opening set, Peru scored 13 of the next 18 points to grab a 13-7 lead. Hodge put up a kill and Bown followed with a block to slice the deficit to 13-9. Larson scored back-to-back kills to start a 5-0 run ending with three straight Peruvian errors. Peru answered with five of the next six points to establish a 20-16 lead. Akinradeow put down a fast attack for a point and was followed with a Peru error to close the gap in half at 20-18. After Peru sided out, the U.S. scored four unanswered points starting with an Akinradewo kill, a kill and block from Metcalf and an ace from Larson to yield a 22-21 advantage to the Americans. Hodge and Bown gave the U.S. set point opportunities at 24-23 and 25-24 with kills, but Peru answered the challenge both times. Bown gave the Americans their third set point try, which it converted at 27-25 thanks to a Peru attack error. Team USA scored three blocks in the opening set and converted just 35 percent of its attacks into points, but held Peru to a 30 kill percent and .148 hitting efficiency.
After the score was tied five times early in the second set, Akinradewo hammered a kill giving the U.S. an 8-7 lead going into the first technical timeout and Metcalf followed with a kill out of the break. Following a Peru point, Akinradewo claimed another kill, which followed by a Larson ace giving Team USA a 12-8 advantage. Hodge and Larson added to the advantage with back-to-back kills at 15-10, only to have Peru score three straight points to narrow the gap to 15-13. The U.S. regained a four-point cushion at 20-16 after Hodge put up a block following an Akinradewo kill. Peru trimmed the deficit back down to one point at 21-20, but Metcalf and Hodge slammed consecutive kills to present the Americans a 23-20 advantage. The teams traded points the rest of the way to 25-22 as Bown scored the final two U.S. points on kills. The U.S. converted 56 percent of its attacks into kills and had a .441 attack efficiency in the second set. Peru had a 57 kill percent in the second set to stay close.
Akinradewo served an ace after a Peru service error to give the U.S. a 2-0 advantage early in the third set. Peru scored three of the next four points to tie the set, but Bown put up a block at 6-3 after a Peru error. Akinradewo extended the American advantage to 9-5 with a kill and block on consecutive plays. Metcalf put up a block after a Larson kill giving the U.S. an 11-6 advantage. The U.S. increased its advantage to eight at 18-10 on a block and ace by Bown sandwiched around kills from Glass and Larson. After Peru trimmed two points off with consecutive points, Larson collected a kill and block to push the U.S. in front 20-12. Akinradewo stuffed Peru at 22-13 after a Peru attack error. Peru scored four of the next five points to close to 23-17, but had consecutive errors to give the U.S. a 25-17 victory. Team USA had six blocks in the third period as it converted 56 percent of its attacks into points and took advantage of 10 Peru errors.

Highlights from the Marine Programme at GRID-Arendal for December 2010
Capacity development for sustainable management of the marine environment
GRID-Arendal is in the process of developing a marine capacity development initiative. This will aim at sustainable management of the marine environment and it will be developed in consultation with developing countries and communities in order to help identify regional issues and priorities. It will build further on existing capacities and initiatives. The generated tools, processes and techniques will help underpin marine assessment studies, integrated coastal zone management and marine spatial planning processes in developing countries.
Focus areas for skills development will center on 3 main pillars being technical capacity, communication capacity and sustainable management practices. This initiative builds further on the extensive experience of GRID-Arendal as implementing institution of the UNEP Shelf Programme. Furthermore, experts from Norwegian institutions will be invited to share their expertise on sustainable management of the marine environment in these activities.

Message from the Managing Director: New Head of Marine Programme
GRID-Arendal's Managing Director, Peter Prokosch, introduces Yannick Beaudoin
Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to introduce to you the new Head of our Marine Programme, Yannick Beaudoin. Due to GRID-Arendal's new team structure and a rotation principle in our Management Team, Morten Sørensen offered to change positions with Yannick. Morten will continue to play an important role in our Marine Programme by focusing on the Marine Ecosystem Management Team, and I am sure to be able to further benefit from his long standing experience in GRID-Arendal. On the other hand I believe, with Yannick, we bring a young, very talented scientist (see more here) into our management, who will bring new approaches and ideas to shape the further development of our Marine Programme. I am sure you will also enjoy collaborating with him. And I am looking forward to see our working relationships with UNEP's Marine unit and other relevant partners further resulting in important achievements for the marine environment.
Best regards,
Dr. Peter Prokosch
Managing Director

Night Cream
Verified Purchase
Night Cream
The cream absorbed well and I felt hydrated, which is great, as I suffer from psoriasis/dermatitis and have dry skin. This product worked really with the range I purchased and my skin has been commented on by others since I have been using the sea buckthorn range. Look forward to seeing how it rates over long-term use.
The worst I've ever tried
Verified Purchase
The worst I've ever tried
Had high expectations of this cream. I think I may have got an old jar of this. It's very thick and does not absorb very well. Not very hydrating either. It's that thick and dry it's sitting on my face rather than being absorbed. Very disapointed. I think the only thing really that my money has paid for is the fancy jar. Will not be buying again. Total waste of money.
very good

very good cream
Nice as a day face cream
Posted by MarieMR on Feb 07, 2014
This cream appears to be very nice to wear during the day. Leaves face smooth and soft. Not much like other rich night creams. Iherb provides great service!
OK, but can be better
Posted by Reviewer2975194 on Jan 19, 2013
Cream zakzyvala by description. The effect of the cream did not notice. Thought he was a bit tightens the skin. The texture of the cream is pleasant. Flavor is not intrusive, but nothing special. probably worth a try to the people who have skin prone to oiliness.Крем закзывала по описанию. Эффект крема не заметила. Показалось, что он немного стягивает кожу. Текстура крема приятная. Аромат не навязчивый, но ничего особенного. наверное, стоит попробовать тем людям, у кого кожа склонна к жирности.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Is sustainability science really a science?
- Nancy Ambrosiano
- Communications Office
- (505) 667-0471
Los Alamos and Indiana University researchers say "yes"
LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, November 22, 2011—The idea that one can create a field of science out of thin air, just because of societal and policy need, is a bold concept. But for the emerging field of sustainability science, sorting among theoretical and applied scientific disciplines, making sense of potentially divergent theory, practice and policy, the gamble has paid off.
In the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Santa Fe Institute, and Indiana University analyzed the field's temporal evolution, geographic distribution, disciplinary composition, and collaboration structure.
"We don't know if sustainability science will solve the essential problems it seeks to address, but there is a legitimate scientific practice in place now," said Luís Bettencourt of Los Alamos National Laboratory and Santa Fe Institute, first author on the paper, "Evolution and structure of sustainability science.
The team's work shows that although sustainability science has been growing explosively since the late 1980s, only in the last decade has the field matured into a cohesive area of science. Thanks to the emergence of a giant component of scientific collaboration spanning the globe and an array of diverse traditional disciplines, there is now an integrated scientific field of sustainability science as an unusual, inclusive, and ubiquitous scientific practice.
The researchers used an exhaustive literature search to determine if the field can truly be categorized as a legitimate science, using population modeling and documenting technical papers' evolution over time, worldwide author distribution, range of sciences involved, and the collaboration structure of the participants. Many of these techniques form the basis of a new science of science, which allows researchers to analyze and predict the development of scientific and technological fields.
The researchers ask, "How has it been changing, and who are its contributors in terms of geographic and disciplinary composition? Most important, is the field fulfilling its ambitious program of generating a new synthesis of social, biological, and applied disciplines, and is it spanning locations that have both the capabilities and needs for its insights?"
Bettencourt said that they concluded that the field is both applied and basic, spanning worldwide institutions, governments, and corporations, but the key is the collaboration network that evolved in about the year 2000. "This has never been done, starting a worldwide scientific field defined mainly by the need for informed global social practice and policy," Bettencourt said, "but sustainability science shows that it can be done."
