Blasphemy charges, threats loom for outspoken journalist in Pakistan
Forty-nine year-old magazine editor and publisher Shoaib Adil fled his home in the eastern city of Lahore last month and went into hiding with his wife and children. Adil faces threats and possible charges of blasphemy--a crime punishable by life imprisonment or death--in connection with a book he published in 2007, written by a judge belonging to a religious minority group in Pakistan, as well as with his magazine, which covers sensitive issues. For years, Adil has been able to navigate the challenges that come with his critical journalistic work. But now he faces the possibility of being unable to live or work safely in Pakistan.

I have seen where some beeks take a chicken waterer full of syrup and put it in the bee yard to feed many hives. Have any of you tried this? I would think it would cause mass robbing. What are your experiences and thoughts?
I have seen where some beeks take a chicken waterer full of syrup and put it in the bee yard to feed many hives. Have any of you tried this? I would think it would cause mass robbing. What are your experiences and thoughts?
I have heard that this starts robbing. Can anyone tell us why?
Much depends on the location of the feed in regards to the yard in relation to how close. Bees have difficulty orienting to close food sources and as a result tend to start robbing behavior.
I do it with a couple five gallon buckets. I set the buckets a couple hundred feet from the hives and have not had any problems with robbing. If you set them too close to the hives the bees get into a feeding freenzy and since they have a hard time communicating short distances they may start robbing out any weaker colonies. That been my experience with doing it anyway.
If you use the waterer with the white plastic top and the red bottom you need to block the hole with a sponge or the bees get in it and die. You also need to set it a ways from your hive.
Good idea about blocking the hole. Thanks
I open feed using 5 gallon buckets with about 50 1/16" holes drilled in the lid and inverted like a jar feeder. A cup of cider vinegar mixed in lets the bees find it quick. I have no room to set the buckets far away, so I close the entrances down to about an inch.
It definitely promotes robbing, but is fast and easy.
Just to add to this, I don't feed for extended periods. A tip I picked up from MP last fall to ready light hives for winter; make them take it all at once and be done with it.
Due to the drought last year, I plan to do this once more in late Feb or early March to ensure they have enough feed to get brood going.

i'll take a stab at why it promotes robbing
1) people feed when there is a dearth,the bees run out and smell the nectar/syrup in neighboring hives
2)there are always a few robbers in every hive. feeding during a dearth promotes more graduating nurse bees to foragers. these new foragers are easily recruited by the robbers bee dance.
its OK to disagree with me, i'm not selling anything and have no pretensions of being an expert/authority

Earlier this month I posted a topic ÂBeekeeping trip to South Africa Dec 2004Â
As I have said ÂThis trip is going to be great but I need ideas from USA Beekeepers. I am not asking anyone to sign on the dotted line. I just simply need your input to make this trip as great as what I know it can be. John Guilfoyle, a very well known Australian Beekeeper, has arranged two such tours with my father in South Africa, and has absolutely raved for years about them.
Please ask questions and answer these questions and many more that you might think of.
What do you want to see? Where do you want to go? How long do you want the trip be last? Who do you want to meet, and who do you want to accompany us from the US Beekeeping world on the tour? Is this limited to only Beekeepers? Can tour members stay longer after the tour? Can other tours be arranged before, and or after the Beekeeping tour? What will the cost be? How safe will this tour be? How much will we learn? Will we have free time during the tour?
Why are you planning this so long in advance?
I am sure there are many more questions. Please as I have said, I do not want any commitments  just your ideas.
Come on yaÂll this is a tour for you; and you should have a say in it, your input will be very valuable to those who do go. We are over a 1000 members now; letÂs see what we can do together. If any Beekeepers from other countries would like to join us, they will be most welcome. Please contact me.
Remember, travel broadens the mind.

Good luck to him.. I hope he does well there. It seems like he feels he is worth more then he actually is. I wish him no ill will. However when we play them I hope we run right at him play after play, lol
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

Excerpt: "The family of Junior Seau has sued the NFL, claiming the former linebacker's suicide was the result of brain disease caused by violent hits he sustained while playing football.
The wrongful death lawsuit, filed today in California Superior Court in San Diego, blames the NFL for its "acts or omissions" that hid the dangers of repetitive blows to the head. It says Seau developed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) from those hits, and accuses the NFL of deliberately ignoring and concealing evidence of the risks associated with traumatic brain injuries.
Seau died at age 43 of a self-inflicted gunshot in May. He was diagnosed with CTE, based on posthumous tests, earlier this month.
An Associated Press review in November found that more than 3,800 players have sued the NFL over head injuries in at least 175 cases as the concussion issue has gained attention in recent years. More than 100 of the concussion lawsuits have been brought together before U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody in Philadelphia.
"Our attorneys will review it and respond to the claims appropriately through the court," the NFL said in a statement today.
Helmet manufacturer Riddell Inc., also is being sued by the Seaus, who say Riddell was "negligent in their design, testing, assembly, manufacture, marketing, and engineering of the helmets" used by NFL players. The suit says the helmets were unreasonably dangerous and unsafe.
Seau was one of the best linebackers during his 20 seasons in the NFL. He retired in 2009." Read more...

I was born, the third of seven children, in Medford, Massachusetts, so near to Boston that even as a small boy kicking along side streets to the Washington School, I could see the pencil stub of the Custom House Tower from the banks of the Mystic River. The river meant everything to me: it flowed through our town, and in reed-fringed oxbows and muddy marshes that no longer exist, to Boston Harbor and the dark Atlantic. It was the reason for Medford rum and Medford shipbuilding; in the Triangular Trade the river linked Medford to Africa and the Caribbean—Medford circulating mystically in the world.
From This Story
Related Content
My father noted in his diary, "Anne had another boy at 7:25." My father was a shipping clerk in a Boston leather firm, my mother a college-trained teacher, though it would be 20 years before she returned to teaching. The Theroux ancestors had lived in rural Quebec from about 1690, ten generations, the eleventh having migrated to Stoneham, up the road from Medford, where my father was born. My father's mother, Eva Brousseau, was part-Menominee, a woodland people who had been settled in what is now Wisconsin for thousands of years. Many French soldiers in the New World took Menominee women as their wives or lovers.
My maternal grandparents, Alessandro and Angelina Dittami, were relative newcomers to America, having emigrated separately from Italy around 1900. An Italian might recognize Dittami ("Tell me") as an orphan's name. Though he abominated any mention of it, my grandfather was a foundling in Ferrara. As a young man, he got to know who his parents were—a well-known senator and his housemaid. After a turbulent upbringing in foster homes, and an operatic incident (he threatened to kill the senator), Alessandro fled to America and met and married my grandmother in New York City. They moved to Medford with the immigrant urgency and competitiveness to make a life at any cost. They succeeded, becoming prosperous, and piety mingled with smugness made the whole family insufferably sententious.
My father's family, country folk, had no memory of any other ancestral place but America, seeing Quebec and the United States as equally American, indistinguishable, the border a mere conceit. They had no feeling for France, though most of them spoke French easily in the Quebec way. "Do it comme ils faut," was my father's frequent demand. "Mon petit bonhomme!" was his expression of praise, with the Quebecois pronunciation "petsee," for petit. A frequent Quebecois exclamation "Plaqueteur!," meaning "fusser," is such an antique word it is not found in most French dictionaries, but I heard it regularly. Heroic in the war (even my father's sisters served in the U.S. military), at home the family was easygoing, and self-sufficient, taking pleasure in hunting and vegetable gardening and raising chickens. They had no use for books.
I knew all four of my grandparents and my ten uncles and aunts pretty well. I much preferred the company of my father's kindly, laconic, unpretentious and uneducated family, who called me Paulie.
And these 500-odd words are all I will ever write of my autobiography.
At a decisive point—about the age I am now, which is 69—the writer asks, "Do I write my life, or leave it to others to deal with?" I have no intention of writing an autobiography, and as for allowing others to practice what Kipling called "the Higher Cannibalism" on me, I plan to frustrate them by putting obstacles in their way. (Henry James called biographers "post mortem exploiters.")
Kipling summed up my feelings in a terse poem:
And for the little, little span
The dead are borne in mind,
Seek not to question other than
The books I leave behind.
But laying false trails, Kipling also wrote a memoir, Something of Myself, posthumously published, and so oblique and economical with the truth as to be misleading. In its tactical offhandedness and calculated distortion it greatly resembles many other writers' autobiographies. Ultimately, biographies of Kipling appeared, questioning the books he left behind, anatomizing his somewhat sequestered life and speculating (in some cases wildly) about his personality and predilections.

|Students Get Jump Start with Business Idea Competition
|Three teams take home top prize in the 2013 Business Idea Competition
Personal experience led to the three winning ideas in this year's annual Business Idea Competition.
When a plumber had to plunge his apartment's kitchen sink, Zach Briggs '15 realized the need for a device to clean the sink's drain.
Spending half his life in Africa, Luca Pandolfi '14 conceived a sustainable mass-production farm that can thrive in arid coastal areas.
James Newton '14 and Antoine Connors '14 treated people with plantar fasciitis in the Department of Physical Therapy's clinic. They've also suffered the foot inflammation. So they developed a multifunctional, reusable ice massager that decreases pain and inflammation and remodels body tissue.
Each winning idea earned its inventor $1,000.
The Business Idea Competition stimulates student entrepreneurs to conceive new business ideas, pitch the ideas in a business format and present in the final round to a panel of three judges with business experience. All Ithaca College students can enter.
In the competition's three years "the ideas have gotten better because students are spending more time talking to potential customers about their business ideas" said contest organizer Brad Treat, an Ithaca businessman.
"By speaking with real-world customers, they are better able to understand the customer need, and develop a strong business idea to fill that need."
Briggs calls his drain cleaner Drain Flower, which he describes:
"Snap on the handheld stem to the center of the Drain Flower drain catcher and lift it to the garbage. With a push of a button, Drain Flower's manual rotating petals scrape the catcher clean for an effortless no-mess experience."
He's refined the design for restaurants and also anticipates Drain Flower's use in factories, warehouses and bathroom drains.
An integrated marketing communications major in the Park School of Communications, Briggs served as advertising and logistics lead for last year's competition and decided to enter this year's contest.
Passion drove his presentation, he said: "Having passion behind your endeavors is something that my dad taught me from a young age. He would insist, 'Don't just do. Do it well. And do it because you want to.'"
With his mother a director in the United Nations' World Food Program, Pandolfi lived five years in Zimbabwe and four in Tanzania. He brought that perspective to his geography studies and developed an interest in applying cutting-edge technologies to the pressing problem of hunger across the African continent.
His business proposal, Eterna, would consume only seawater and sunlight to produce various organic crops, fruit, animal products, drinking water and biodiesel.
"This would be implemented mostly in Africa, where it could bring food to areas in need. An added advantage is that it would help to replace diesel with an alternative that is environmentally friendly and sustainably well-priced," said Pandolfi, an international geography education through the Planned Studies Department of the Humanities and Sciences School.
His academic research led to his senior thesis, addressing what he calls a "self-sustaining mass-production farm.'' The profits from biofuel production would go into producing the organic crops.
His likely next step, Pandolfi says, is to pursue a master's degree to allow more time to develop plans for Eterna.
Connors came up with the idea for what he and Newton, both physical therapy majors, are calling SnoBall.
"Since it offers components of both ice and massage, rather than one or the other, it is superior to ice packs for certain conditions," said Newton. "Beyond that, its multifunctional properties mean our customers can essentially customize his or her treatment."
Determined to show the judges that SnoBall can become a success, Newton said, they conducted extensive research in design, materials, production, costs, pricing and marketing.
"Our presentation touched on every core area of the business to prove its potential viability in the marketplace," he said.
The prize money will help pay for a completing a prototype design and filing a provisional patent. But even more exciting, Newton said, is the potential others see in SnoBall.
"We had four people, including a massage therapist, tell us after our presentation that they wish our product was already on the market because they want it," he said.
The quality of all the ideas impresses School of Business Dean Mary Ellen Zuckerman.
"IC's students' entrepreneurial spirit reflects the distinctive kinds of students who choose Ithaca College. They are creative, innovative and forward-thinking," she said.

Ben Johnson, FloydReports.com
When the most finely trained military/intelligence team in America finally killed Osama bin Laden, MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell sent an embarrassingly misspelled tweet that informed the world, "Obama shot and killed." However, MSNBC inadvertently allowed some truth to slip through its reporting of the assassination. The left-wing network quoted "a senior official in the Obama administration" admitting the chain of events that culminated with Osama bobbing on the waves of the North Arabian Sea began under President George W. Bush, came about because of interrogation techniques Barack Obama opposed, at a facility (Guantanamo Bay) he continually threatens to close, and would likely have never occurred if Obama had enacted policies he continued to advance even while announcing Osama's death.
During a briefing about how agents finally found the world's most wanted man, MSNBC reveals the official said:
After the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, "detainees gave us information on couriers. One courier in particular had our constant attention. Detainees gave us his nom de guerre, his pseudonym, and also identified this man as one of the few couriers trusted by bin Laden."
In 2007, the U.S. learned the man's name.
Two years later, they tracked this courier down to a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, valued at $1 million – a cavernous, windowless structure that is eight times larger than other structures in the area, surrounded by a 15-feet-high security walls – which he shared with another courier, Osama bin Laden, and the terror mastermind's youngest wife.
Al-Jazeera reported, "US spies have been monitoring many of those couriers for years, the CIA said on Sunday."
The Washington Post quotes "senior U.S. officials who detailed the operation under the condition of anonymity," one of whom told them intelligence agents had "been working this target for years, years, years. They finally found the guy who led to the guy who led to the guy who led to the guy, and this is it."
Insiders told Fox News the courier's pseudonym was disclosed by….

Zac Guildford could make a remarkable return to rugby with the Crusaders within the next few weeks.
Guildford, who is taking self-imposed time out from the game after a recent alcohol-related incident in which he allegedly assaulted a party-goer in Christchurch, is in the midst of a one-month's course of "intensive" treatment at an undisclosed North Island location.
It is understood Guildford has accepted he has an alcohol problem which could lead to a quicker than expected return to the field.
Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder would welcome his All Black wing back into the fold - provided certain conditions are met.
"If he sticks to getting professional help, we'd love to have him back," Blackadder said.
"It's not so much a case of misconduct for us," he added. "It's an illness and for the first time he has admitted that and is getting the right help.
"If all the other parties agreed - Zac, his representatives and helpers and the NZRU - then returning to rugby could form an important part of his rehabilitation."
If Guildford wants to return, then the NZRU would be the biggest stumbling block to a comeback, but the Crusaders hoped the national body would show compassion.
Privately, the Crusaders hope that given Guildford is seeking medical treatment, missing three pre-season games and a couple of competition matches would be seen an appropriate penalty.
Guildford is on only a one-year contract with the NZRU and will know that this is his last chance. Guildford, who has played 10 tests and scored six tries for the All Blacks, has been involved in a string of high-profile incidents over the past 18 months.
In August 2011, he broke team rules when he left the All Blacks' hotel to go out after their Bledisloe Cup victory against Australia at Eden Park.
Within weeks, he drank heavily and broke the team curfew after the All Blacks' 25-20 defeat to the Wallabies.
In November 2011, Guildford was arrested after he stormed into Trader Jacks in Rarotonga naked and allegedly punched two men. He then announced a self-imposed 12-month drinking ban, saying: "I need to sort myself out."
A year later, after being photographed drinking at a function, Guildford said he had changed his ways and now trusted himself to enjoy one or two drinks with friends.
He stood himself down from the Crusaders last month after the latest alcohol-related incident.

Estate Fresh Items From Cousy, Lazzeri and Wagner Soar In SportsCards Plus? Record Setting November Auction
The Bob Cousy Collection, billed as the largest personal player collection ever offered, headlined one of the most successful auctions ever conducted by SportsCards Plus. Celtic fans and basketball collectors clamored over an incredible array of awards, game used items, and personal effects gathered throughout Cousy's prolific career. The final numbers clearly prove that the "The Houdini of the Hardwood" still has plenty of magic left. The Cousy Collection accounted for $455,641 of the auction's total gross of $1,431,938 and amounted to nearly twice as much as the 10-time All-Star earned during his entire NBA playing career. Cousy, whose playing days with the Celtics ended 40 years ago, long before athletes were millionaires, stated, "If someone had said 40 years ago, 'Save that stuff because someday you'll get half a million dollars for it,' I would have said, "Take this guy away, he's looney tunes.' I'm just pleased for our daughters." Cousy, 75, and his wife, Missy, decided to auction his memorabilia kept in their basement to raise money for their two school-teacher daughters and two grandchildren. Among the 150 plus Cousy lots, were some of the most important basketball artifacts ever to be offered publicly. Some of the highlights included Cousy's 1952 NBA All-Star Uniform ($11,205), 1957 League MVP Trophy ($51,673), 1957 Celtics Championship Ring ($27,179) , the Game Ball Used to Garner His 5000th Career Assist ($11,132), a John F. Kennedy Signed Photo "to Bob Cousy" ($25,300), his Last Game Ball used versus the Lakers in the 1963 Championship Game ($6,326), and his Hall of Fame Induction Ring ($19,134). Other items that drew lots of attention included a selection of items related to his 1996 selection as one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players, including his personal (#Cousy 1/1) 50 Greatest Signed Lithograph ($86,940), custom Hamilton Leather Jacket ($5,553), and 50 Greatest Players Ring ($13,558) . Numerous momentos from his memorable 1963 "Bob Cousy Day" retirement ceremony included his Engraved Cigar Humidor from Celtics Teammates ($5,415) , 1963 Boston Celtics Team Signed 'Court' Table ($3,732), and a Set of 15 Custom Presentation Plaques Received from The Celtics ($10,830). Dan Imler, SportsCards Plus Auction Director, described the Cousy results as "very strong overall". Imler states, "We had high expectations from the start, but some of the individual items still really surprised us." According to Imler, the final price of $51,673 for Cousy's 1957 MVP Trophy is the highest price ever paid for any basketball trophy. Additionally, the Hall of Fame Ring ($19,133), and 50 Greatest Lithograph ($86,940) are also said to be auction records.
SCP's November 20th Auction also featured significant memorabilia collections directly from the estates of other Hall of Fame legends such as Tony Lazzeri, and a follow-up offering of items from the Honus Wagner Collection that was part of their previous August '03 auction. New York Yankees legendary Hall of Fame second baseman, "Poosh 'em Up" Tony Lazzeri, was represented by over 40 items, including his personal collection of team signed baseballs, signed photos, and game used equipment. Among the top performing items were high-grade Yankees team balls from 1932 (World Champs!) - $23,463, 1936 (World Champs!) - $7,337, 1937 (World Champs!) - $7,395, and 1955 (NL Champs!) - $3,827 . The incredible selection of signed photos were well received, including examples personalized to Lazzeri from Babe Ruth ($3,795), Lou Gehrig ($13,215), Ty Cobb ($1,530) , and Jimmie Foxx ($2,709). A Large 1936 Yankees Photo Signed by Seven incl. DiMaggio, Gehrig & Lazzeri brought $6,958. Game used equipment from the famed member of the Yankees revered "Murderer's Row" lineup includes his Cap ($6,164), Fielder's Glove ($13,899), Flannel Pants ($5,000), and Cleats ($1,530).
The second offering of items from the estate of Honus Wagner included his 1909 World Series Pin. The pin, described by Imler as, "One of the most historic pieces of baseball jewelry ever offered" realized $53,538. Another marquis Wagner item was a magnificent 10 1/2" tall sterling silver "Honus Wagner Day" Loving Cup that brought $31,050.
The balance of the memorabilia portion of the auction featured several other Hall of Fame caliber items including a Christy Mathewson Game Used Glove from the Mathewson Estate ($32,764), a supremely rare 1902 (First) Rose Bowl Program ($35,520), a 1922-25 Babe Ruth Game Used Bat ($34,687), a Spectacular Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball w/Original Box ($21,836), and a Jim Brown 1957 Rookie of The Year Trophy ($10,572).
As usual, SportsCards Plus' November Auction included a vast array of quality cards that generated vigorous bidding competition. Topping the list of high-end cards was a remarkable 1909-11 T206 Eddie Plank graded PSA 7 NM that realized a record price of $93,661. Other notable offerings include a 1914 Cracker Jack #30 Ty Cobb PSA 8 NM-MT ($30,938), 1933 Goudey #170 Harry McCurdy PSA 8 NM-MT ($4,807) , 1933 Sport Kings #15 Reggie McNamara PSA 8 NM-MT ($7,449), 1933 Goudey #119 Rogers Hornsby PSA 8 NM-MT ($4,592), and a spectacular 1951 Bowman Baseball Complete PSA Graded Set ($39,140) .
SportsCards Plus will follow up this highly successful auction event with another major auction scheduled for April, 2004. The company is actively seeking consignments for this sale.

Top 100 Canada's Most Powerful Women
December 07, 2010 | Pamela Jeffery | National Post
"The Women's Executive Network honours 100 women who are 2010's top achievers -- and leaders -- in Canada's private, public and not-for-profit sectors
Why We Care
Twenty-Two Years Ago, I walked into a boardroom and found myself surrounded by men. This was an eye-opening experience. Today, when I walk into a boardroom, there will be one or two other women. We can't assume women have achieved equal opportunity in the workplace. If this were the case, there would be more women represented on leadership teams, in the boardroom and in the CEO office. Women continue to struggle with workplace equality, pay equity, and finding like-minded peers. It was this realization that forced me to recognize the need for an organization dedicated to supporting and connecting executive-minded women in the workplace. And so, the Women's Executive Network (WXN) was born.
While Canadian women have made significant advancements in the workplace since then, gender discrimination is not yet a thing of the past. Women are outnumbering and outperforming men at college and university, yet they are still earning less than their male counterparts and are underrepresented in management positions. In 2007, women with post-secondary education made 63% of what similarly educated men made. A 2010 Canadian study shows that white men are 4.5% more likely to receive promotions at any level of an organization than white women, and 16.1% more likely than minority women with equivalent education and experience. Helping women push past these barriers is the motivation behind WXN's dedicated networking, mentoring and professional development programs.
WXN helps women and their organizations work toward equality. We also recognize those Canadian women who are at the top of their game -women who are outstanding leaders within their organizations and their communities. This is why WXN created Canada's Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Awards.
The Top 100 Awards honour and celebrate 100 exceptional Canadian women who are proven achievers in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. This year marks the eighth anniversary of the Awards, and to date, 521 women across Canada have received this distinction, including 73 women who have been inducted into Canada's Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Hall of Fame. The Awards demonstrate the different ways women have harnessed their talents and opportunities to reach new heights in their careers.
The impact Top 100 Winners have on the next generation of women leaders does not begin and end with the recognition of their accomplishments. These women are impacting the lives and careers of others, men and women alike, by sharing their knowledge and offering advice and counsel. To date, 234 Top 100 Winners have acted as mentors in the WXNWisdom II Mentoring Program, helping high-performing women to evaluate their strengths and limitations, enhance their personal brands, and better compete for executive positions. Thanks to their generosity and commitment, 383 women have graduated from this one-year structured program, learning directly from the most powerful women in Canada.
The women recognized by the Top 100 Awards are creating legacies, changing perspectives and altering the face of business. With women like them succeeding in male-dominated industries, heading large corporations and starting their own businesses, the barriers to equality don't seem insurmountable. With the acknowledgment that organizations thrive when they have women on their leadership teams, more men are joining in and supporting the growth and development of women leaders. Our hope at WXN is that by recognizing and celebrating Canada's female leaders, we will demonstrate to women in the Canadian workplace that women belong in boardrooms and executive offices across Canada and around the world.
Marianne McKenna, KPMB Architects Founding Partner, KPMG Professionals Award
Marianne McKenna was an associate of renowned American-Canadian architect Barton Myers when Myers moved his practice to California in 1987. His move left McKenna and three other associates to complete projects in Toronto. The four associates decided to make their partnership permanent and formed Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg (KPMB). Today, KPMB is one of Canada's leading architecture firms.
McKenna, who comes from a medical family, decided to pursue architecture so she could combine her creativity with her passion for advancing causes. "I wanted to create great projects in the community," she says. She adds that her aim is to work with institutions to transform society and encourage people to get involved in the community. "The buildings are a kind of outreach. People walk by and say, 'Gosh, what's that?' They might think, 'Maybe I should take lessons, maybe I should be a part of that.'"
McKenna has directed a variety of projects for KPMB, ranging from offices and university buildings to government buildings and performing arts centers. Her past projects include a research centre at McGill University in Montreal, the Torys LLP office in Toronto and the Genome Quebec Innovation Centre. She received international acclaim for the Jackson-Triggs Niagara Estate Winery, which was a landmark in sustainable design and was selected to represent Canada at the 2002 Green Building Challenge in Norway. Her proudest achievement, she says, has been the transformation of the Royal Conservatory of Music -- a project she has worked on for 18 years."

I don't think those stats are legitimate if the observations are
different. But I wonder why they are different in the first
place? I think you would usually want to be analyzing the same cases
if you want to compare two models. It would be easy enough to do a
listwise deletion of all cases that have missing data in the two models.

Cardiomyopathy occurs due to any disorder of the heart muscle in which the heart loses its ability to pump blood effectively. In some instances, the heart rhythm becomes disturbed and leads to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats). Cardiomyopathy can be due to a number of causes, including viral infections and certain medications. Often, the exact cause of the muscle disease is never found.
Cardiomyopathy differs from many of the other disorders of the heart in several ways, including the following:
Cardiomyopathy can, and often does, occur in the young.
The condition tends to be progressive and sometimes worsens fairly quickly.
It may be associated with diseases involving other organs, as well as the heart.
Cardiomyopathy is a leading cause for heart transplantation.
Cardiomyopathy prevents the heart muscle from pumping enough blood to meet the body's needs.
Viral infections that infect the heart are a major cause of cardiomyopathy. In some instances, cardiomyopathy is a result of another disease or its treatment, such as complex congenital (present at birth) heart disease, nutritional deficiencies, uncontrollable, fast heart rhythms, or certain types of chemotherapy for cancer. Sometimes, cardiomyopathy can be linked to a genetic abnormality. Other times, the cause is unknown. Four types of cardiomyopathy affect both adults and children.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form of cardiomyopathy. The heart muscle becomes enlarged and stretched (dilated), causing the heart to become weak and pump inefficiently. Other problems that may occur with dilated cardiomyopathy include the following:
Irregular heart rhythms
Risk of blood clots
Congestive heart failure
The dilated left ventricle can affect the leaflets of the mitral valve, which separates the left atrium and the left ventricle, the left-sided chambers of the heart. The valve leaflets become leaky, resulting in mitral regurgitation (or mitral insufficiency) whereby the blood moves backward from the left ventricle to the left atrium, rather than moving forward to the body.
Various infections (including viral) which lead to inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) can cause this type of cardiomyopathy.
Contact with toxins or very powerful therapeutic drugs, such as certain types of chemotherapy given to fight cancer, have been known to cause dilated cardiomyopathy. Heredity can also be a factor. Twenty percent of people with dilated cardiomyopathy have a parent or sibling with the disease. In many cases, a specific cause for this type of the disease is never identified.
Because the heart muscle is weak and unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's demands, the body may try to preserve blood flow to essential organs such as the brain and kidneys by reducing blood flow to other areas of the body, such as the skin and muscles.
The following are the most common symptoms of dilated cardiomyopathy. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Pale or ashen skin color
Cool, sweaty skin
Rapid heart rate
Rapid breathing rate
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Poor appetite
Slow growth
Specific treatment for dilated cardiomyopathy will be determined by your child's health care provider based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Your child's health care provider may recommend medications to accomplish the following:
Help the heart beat more effectively
Decrease the workload of the heart
Decrease the oxygen requirements of the heart
Prevent blood clots from forming
Decrease inflammation of the heart
Regulate irregular heartbeats
In some cases, dilated cardiomyopathy due to viral causes improves over time. In other cases, the condition worsens and transplantation of the heart may be considered. Consult your child's health care provider for more information regarding the specific outlook for your child.
In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the muscle of the heart becomes thicker than normal, obstructing blood flow to the rest of the body.
The thickened muscle can also affect one of the leaflets of the mitral valve, which separates the left atrium and the left ventricle. The valve leaflets become leaky, allowing blood to move backwards from the left ventricle into the left atrium, instead of forward to the rest of the body.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is often hereditary. One-half of children with the disease have a parent or sibling with varying degrees of left ventricular muscle or ventricular wall enlargement, although relatives may or may not have symptoms.
Children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may have symptoms that increase with exertion or symptoms may be unpredictable.
The following are the most common symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Shortness of breath on exertion
Abnormal heart rhythms
Specific treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy will be determined by your child's health care provider based on:
Surgical treatment may include:
Removal of part of the enlarged muscle
Implantation of a pacemaker or defibrillator
Heart transplantation
Consult your child's health care provider for more information regarding the specific outlook for your child.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy, the least common type of cardiomyopathy in the U.S., occurs when the myocardium of the ventricles becomes excessively rigid, and the filling of the ventricles with blood between heart beats is impaired. This condition occurs rarely in children.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy usually results from an underlying condition that affects the rest of the body. However, there are idiopathic (cause unknown) occurrences as well. Restrictive cardiomyopathy does not appear to be inherited, but some of the diseases that lead to the condition are genetically transmitted.
Conditions that may be associated with the development of restrictive cardiomyopathy include, but are not limited to, the following:
Scleroderma (a chronic, degenerative disease that affects the joints, skin, and internal organs)
Amyloidosis (a rare disease which causes the buildup of amyloid, a protein and starch, in tissues and organs)
Sarcoidosis (a rare inflammation of the lymph nodes and other tissues throughout the body)
Mucopolysaccharidosis (a condition in which mucopolysaccharides, or carbohydrates that bond with water to form a thick, jelly-like substance, accumulate in body organs)
Radiation therapy for cancer treatment has also been associated with restrictive cardiomyopathy.
The following are the most common symptoms of restrictive cardiomyopathy. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Swelling of the extremities
Specific treatment for restrictive cardiomyopathy will be determined by your child's health care provider based on:
Pacemaker or defibrillator insertion
ARVD is a rare type of cardiomyopathy that occurs if the muscle tissue in the right ventricle dies and is replaced by scar tissue:
This process disrupts the heart's electrical system causing arrhythmias.
It usually affects teens and young adults.
Symptoms include heart palpitations and fainting after physical activity.
It can cause sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes.

STORRS >> When the Connecticut Sun players reconvened following the Olympic break last summer, circumstances changed the roles for both Mistie Bass and Kelsey Griffin.
A strained Achilles would sideline perennial All-Star forward Asjha Jones for 14 games, leaving a pair of role players to attempt to fill in for a player widely considered to be irreplaceable.
They had no idea at the time that it was merely a dress rehearsal for the scenario that is about to play out during the 2013 season beginning with Saturday's 7 p.m. season opener against New York at Mohegan Sun Arena.
With Jones opting to rest her ailing body by skipping the upcoming season and the Sun unable to land a replacement in last month's WNBA draft, Bass and Griffin will be the top options at power forward for the defending Eastern Conference regular-season champions.
"I am pretty sure not one person can do that (replace Jones) on this team," said Bass, who established career highs in points, rebounds and steals after being signed as a free agent before the start of the 2012 season. "It is going to be kind of who is going to step up. Who is going to become bigger than they were before? With that comes opportunity. You don't get a whole lot of opportunities like that, sometimes politics get in the way and you end up playing a role and you could do more so that gives us opportunity to come in and show everybody what they are missing.
"I think that is the silver lining in that not a lot of teams are going to assume that (none) of us who are still here can still do something because we have only been role players. I think for me it is more of a positive than a negative."
When Bass was signed it was clear she was going to be asked to provide minutes off the bench at the power forward and perhaps spell center Tina Charles from time to time. However, Griffin struggled without a defined role ever since the Sun made a trade to acquire the third overall pick in the 2010 draft to select the former Nebraska All-American.
With Charles coming at to play the center position and Jones thriving as a power forward, Griffin was asked to make the transition from college post player to professional small forward. One of the first things Anne Donovan did when she was named the new Connecticut Sun coach was to convey to Griffin that she will play primarily as a power forward.
"I think one of the things that was the most difficult was trying to play a new position and figuring out what was what I needed to be," Griffin said. "Being here and have Coach Donovan say you are going to be a 4 (power forward) and that is what you are going to do is really nice. If she said 'you are going to be a 3 (small forward) and that is what you are going to do' that would have been more challenging, but it would have been nice to have a direction that I knew what I am going to be on this team and know what the coaches need from me so to be able to have that mindset and that focus was helpful as a player."
When the 2012 season began, Griffin's primary role was one of a spectator. Griffin didn't play more than 10 minutes in the first 15 games she played in last season. Griffin managed a total of 15 points in her first 16 games and had made just 5 of 22 shots from the field.
With Jones sidelined, Griffin went from averaging six minutes per game to playing nearly 20 minutes a night. Bass had a more significant role as she played more than 20 minutes in 11 of the 13 regular-season games she appeared in after the Olympic break.
Connecticut went 9-5 when Jones missed 14 consecutive games with Bass and Griffin handling the bulk of duty at power forward.
So how are they viewing the prospects of playing an entire season without one of the WNBA's most productive power forwards?
"Having Asjha choosing to sit out this year definitely is an opportunity," Griffin said. "If you put pressure on yourself and think when Asjha came off the court I had to be that player, I had to be Asjha in her absence... What people might not realize is that me and Asjha are very different players, our games are very different but at the same time I was able to accomplish a lot with my style of basketball. I am excited to show what I have to offer.
"Except for Asjha we have a lot of the same team back and what we want is to have everybody step up their game more and filling in that role, I would never say it is easy but I feel is doable because the team knows each other."

Pine River Council schedules special hearing for June 18
At a special meeting June 4, the Pine River City Council scheduled a 6 p.m. public hearing June 18 to discuss the possibility of repealing the city's ordinance regulating liquor license sales.
At the May regular meeting, Ryan Nelson of Jr's No. 19 asked the council for approval of a liquor license for his business. It was discovered through research that an ordinance was passed in 2002 preventing liquor sales within 500 feet of the nearest church. Jr's is only 408 feet from the Methodist church located on Barclay Avenue.
Mayor Jim Sabas said they were considering amending the ordinance at the June 11 regular council meeting. City clerk Wanda Mongan assured the mayor that the council did not need to hold a special public meeting for the amendment so long as they published the ordinance in the newspaper.
Attorney Ted Lundrigan told the council that, though it could possibly go forward with an amendment as described, doing so might leave the city vulnerable to lawsuit. He advised against amending the ordinance, especially without a special public meeting, and suggested that the council schedule a meeting to discuss the possibility of repealing the ordinance with the public.
"If you repeal it in its entirety you can find a lot of reasons to repeal an ordinance altogether, but to amend it means the purpose for which it was originally passed is no longer applicable to the situation we find ourselves in today," Lundrigan said. "So we have to explain what has changed. It's a road with a lot of holes in it. It has to be carefully negotiated."
Mongan said the ordinance was likely drafted due to an attempt in past years to build a sports bar next to the Artisans building in Pine River. This location is very near to the Methodist church. None of the council members was able to explain exactly what the justification for the ordinance was.
"That interpretation of being so many feet away is ridiculous," Sabas said.
Lundrigan asked the council to decide if it intended to amend the ordinance or repeal it. He then suggested that the council should hold a public hearing and inform local churches and concerned citizens.
"They told us during the first city council meeting that they didn't anticipate any problems, and we just went ahead full force," Nelson said.
Nelson was further frustrated because the Methodist church is also located next to the Pine River Bowling Alley, which was in operation before the ordinance was passed. Lundrigan explained that state statutes give special privileges to bowling alleys regarding liquor licenses, alongside Legion clubs.
"We have to remember there's other places in town that are within that 500 feet. Grandfathered in or not grandfathered in, should anybody get different treatment?" Nelson asked. "There's not a place within this town that you're not within sight of a bar and a church."
Nelson asked for sympathy from those who would attend the special hearing. He asked people to remember fundraisers and church events that Jr's No. 19 has hosted in the past. He also said he would respect the opinions of local citizens, and was willing to forego a license for sale of liquor on Sundays, if that is what it would take to satisfy locals.
"I just want the unimpeded right to pursue my business and my business plan," Nelson said. "I don't think we'd have any alternative but to close down the actual restaurant here and focus on the other areas that we are doing well in."
Lundrigan, who has been the Pine River City attorney since 1974, said he does not understand the reason for the ordinance.
"I don't remember drafting that. I don't remember working on it. I don't remember anything about it," Lundrigan said. "To be honest with you, I don't know what the issue is."
Lundrigan said he made his recommendation to the city to hold a public hearing out of concern for constitutionality.
"We have to remember the 14th amendment of the constitution says, 'Equal protection under the laws,' and that's equal protection under both sides of an issue. So, if the city granted an exception for Jr's and didn't articulate what interests were being served, there would be, in my eye, the question of the constitutionality of this new ordinance," Lundrigan said.
Lundrigan said that the ordinance should not be amended to include a different minimum distance, because any distance would be trivial. He also questioned whether the current ordinance followed the U.S. Constitution's separation of church and state.
Lundrigan and Nelson encouraged those in support or opposition of the ordinance to attend the June 18 meeting and have their voices heard.
"Give those who have opinions on this issue the chance to speak. If they want to address this issue, then let's have them do it," Lundrigan said. "What is the interest that is being served by this ordinance and is that interest in the public benefit?"

From personal experience and research comes advice on what works and why
Roald Hoffmann, Saundra Y. McGuire
The first learning strategy is to take notes by hand, even if the class notes are provided. Preferably no later than the evening of the class day, rewrite your notes, by hand, amplifying their content. During the rewriting stage, it is important that you not just recopy your notes, but rather both condense and extend them where appropriate, paraphrasing them so that you make the meaning your own. The question of whether taking notes on a laptop or by hand is more effective is a contentious one. We think taking notes by hand works best, largely because it is difficult to type in chemical structures, graphs and equations on a computer.
It is now well established that active engagement in the process is imperative for learning to occur. When students take their own notes, they are engaged, in real time, and their minds focus on the task. For kinesthetic learners (those who learn best when moving, activating large or small muscles), the movement involved in taking notes facilitates learning.
The process of paraphrasing and rewriting the notes shortly after a lecture helps to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory. If the rewriting is delayed longer than 24 hours, much of the information needed to flesh out the notes taken in class will have disappeared from accessible memory. And it is so much better that gaps in understanding surface in the engaged rewriting of notes, rather than in the frantic cramming the night before an exam. Students need to be convinced that it is important to take the time to rewrite their notes, even if they felt they have understood the material the first time.
Missed classes provide the second learning strategy. If you must miss a class, rather than simply download the notes from a Web page, get the notes from a fellow student. This strategy is another way into group discussion and learning. It is important to develop relationships with other class members and to form study groups early in the course. During discussion of the class notes, much learning takes place. A typical scenario: Student A (the one who missed lecture and is borrowing the notes) says "I don't understand this part of what you wrote," to student B, the note taker. Because B is a fellow student, A is comfortable asking her the question, whereas A might be reluctant to ask it of the course instructor. B explains, and is thus engaged in the most salutary of learning actions, teaching. The only potential problems are that the note taker may not understand, or may propagate a misconception. Additionally, some people are just too shy to ask another human being.
A third strategy makes the best use of a course's textbook. Most students do their homework in solitude (or as much of that as a residence hall room allows) by trying to follow text examples of similar problems. But often the text examples are not exploited for the learning opportunities they provide. First do the obvious; study the text and lecture information relevant to the problems. But then treat the examples in the text and in lecture notes as if they were homework problems—work out the example before looking at the answer, and compare your approach to the text's, not just your answer. There are often several ways to do a problem, but try to understand the text's method. If the homework answers provided do not include a way of working out each problem, the instructors should be encouraged (that's putting it mildly) to provide complete solutions. The ability to work a problem without using a model is the essential skill tested by all exams (which is obvious to instructors, but not to most students). This approach to homework focuses on methods rather than final answers. Furthermore, exploring alternative methods will help you to learn to be an agile, flexible thinker.
Study groups are important in learning, but it seems to work best to alternate group work with individual effort. First, you should try to do a homework problem or prepare for an exam on your own. Then, the collective wisdom of a study group can be enlisted. Three to six fellow students who have each done their best to digest and absorb difficult material are powerful resources for each other. Social constructivist learning theorists have shown that meaningful learning results from small study groups with two crucial features: discussion and problem-solving activities. Several websites provide excellent tips on forming and running successful study groups. But finally, you must return to solving the problem set or facing the exam preparation on your own.
Not all instructors are comfortable with homework done in groups, but our experience is that groups are very effective. Do-it-yourself is the primary principle of active learning, though groups can help resolve the occasional blind spot. Some social dynamics may limit group value—for instance, passive personalities are likely to merely listen.
Groups can also be useful study aids if students make up practice quizzes and tests for each other, thereby thinking from the teacher's perspective. One of us (Hoffmann) tells his students: "The only way you will get into my mind about the exam is… to try to get into my mind. That means to do what I do, and make up an exam." Creating a practice exam involves not only selecting and organizing all the material (including choosing what is representative and what is important) but also discussing the exam in a group setting.
Another way to enter the tester's mind is by teaching the material, one student to another. When one of us (McGuire) asks instructors attending faculty-development workshops when they began to develop a deep understanding of the conceptual structure of their discipline, most say that it did not happen until they began teaching. Helping a fellow student not only accelerates one's learning but moves one past disappointment about not getting things right oneself. Usually, if you can help someone else get going, the gratification is motivating for both parties.
Finally, we encourage students to set attainable goals. If you are spinning your wheels and studying does not lead to learning, the process can share some symptoms with depression—feeling unable to act, for instance. For this reason, it is important to tackle small, achievable tasks.
In working problems and taking tests, move slowly, from simple problems to more complicated, integrative ones. Success, self-achieved, builds confidence, and so is a very powerful motivator. When you attempt to reach a goal that is within your grasp, a wonderful cycle of initial success, more effort, and additional success is put into motion.
It is important for students to realize that everyone learns differently; an attainable goal for one student may be trivial for another. It is most relevant to develop the learning skills necessary to perform more cognitively demanding tasks.

The Zura Alpha fin is amazingly light and encourages you to kick from a neutral position.
Another problem with traditional fins is that they often cause blisters because they are made of rubber and tend to abrade the skin. The Alpha fin is made of a soft foam and is gentle on your foot.
Fins teach you proper kick mechanics. Using a kickboard and fins together allows you to focus on finding the motion which will propel you through the water the fastest.

The voter ID debate renewed
RALEIGH — For better than two decades now, Bob Hall has been railing against the corrosive influence of money in politics.
Hall heads Democracy North Carolina, an organization most often referred to in the media as a "campaign watchdog group."
The Durham-based organization is certainly of the liberal variety, having grown out of the liberal Institute of Southern Studies, established in the early 1970s by veterans of the Civil Rights Movement, including Julian Bond.
The Republicans who now control the levers of power in state government are not unaware of the connection or the group's political leanings.
Still, Hall has been an equal opportunity afflicter of the powerful. He and Democracy North Carolina brought the elections complaint that eventually derailed Democratic House Speaker Jim Black, issued reports that examined Black's reliance on donations from the shady video poker industry, and filed the complaint that led to findings of wrongdoing by former Democratic Gov. Mike Easley and his campaign.
So it should have come as no surprise when Hall, on a panel that included national elections experts from the left and right, nailed the really pertinent questions about voter photo identification.
The panel was brought to Raleigh by leaders of the state House as legislators again consider having North Carolina join the states that require a photo ID in order to vote.
Over the last two years — with legislators passing and former Gov. Beverly Perdue vetoing a photo ID requirement — the arguments for and against the requirement have become well known.
Supporters argue that requiring voters to produce photo ID will stop voter fraud and improve public confidence in the voting system; opponents say it will disenfranchise some segment of poor voters who do not have IDs, even as there is little evidence of voter fraud associated with voter impersonation.
Hall, an opponent of a photo ID requirement, went well beyond the rote arguments against. He had some uncomfortable questions for state lawmakers.
If there is a problem with voter fraud involving voter impersonation, why not prove it? It would be easy enough, he argued, to conduct a study examining a sample of voters who had signed poll books indicating that they had voted in the past election, contact those voters at their registered addresses, and see whether any had not actually voted.
Those poll books, where each person who votes must match their names against a registered voter, are a current check against voter fraud. Why not use them, Hall asked.
His other point was more uncomfortable. Hall noted that 2,500 voters in North Carolina, in the last election, had their votes tossed out because they were given the wrong ballot. Those mistakes were made, in large part, because of unprecedented precinct splitting in the most recent state redistricting plan, a plan put together by some of the same legislators in the room.
"Voter fraud could be telling people in 2012 that you can't vote," Hall said. "What exactly is fraud?"
Perhaps it is just one of those things that you will know it when you see it, even if you never do.

We have a ton of tackle prospects (McCants, Brewer, Mosely) and our eternal safe guard in Diehl, so I'm not seeing an OT pick early. I'd expect us to grab one of the OG/OT hybrids in the 4th or 5th round.
We have a ton of tackle prospects (McCants, Brewer, Mosely) and our eternal safe guard in Diehl, so I'm not seeing an OT pick early. I'd expect us to grab one of the OG/OT hybrids in the 4th or 5th round.
Seems like half of the Mocks I have seen having us going DT in round 1, so the "experts" are on the same page.
If Reese has a guy there at DT he really likes he'll grab him if the Grade is High.
Reese kind of goes BPA, but we have also, in my opinion, grabbed guys high at positions of need. Hakeen Nicks and David Wilson immediately come to mind. JPP and Amukamara were picks where :the Grade was too high we couldn;t pass them up" type picks.
Depending on what we do in FA, right now I could us grabbing from any of these slots early in the draft:
OL - G or T
I also think we will nab a RB, a Pass Rusher and will pick at least one Guard. We almost always pick a Guard.
I'll gladly take Sheldon Richardson in the 1st..
Personally, I feel that with the 31st ranked Defense they need to focus on that and fix the O line by signing our FAs Beatty, Booth... DT in the first round wouldn't be a bad thing, I could also see a CB or DE. Looking over the draft class there is some excellent CB value that could be picked up in the 2nd or 3rd round. Will be interesting to see how things develop. I could easily get on board with Enigma's draft....
I'm not big on Richardson i think he is overrated... The guy I think who's stock is going to rise big time is Jesse Williams from Bama. Played a tough SEC schedule and produced for the Tide. He is able to play any technique on the DL so he is versatile. He is the hardest hitting DT in the draft according to the Bleacher Report. He is as good a run stopper as there is in this draft. Thats what the Giants needs a guy who can take on Double teams Williams can do that. And a guy who can get thru them and bring down the runner in the backfield Williams can do that. He is fast enough to play in a 4-3 defense. This guy is said to be running 4.75 40's at 325-330 lbs. He is quick off the ball he just needs some help with his pass rush. Other than that he can take on and break thru double teams, he can collapse the pocket and stuff running backs in their tracks and can play anywhere on the DL.
Richardson vs Kentucky I uploaded it today . Larry Warford works him for most of the game
The Bengals may release Domata Peko not a pass rusher but would improve the run defense . Probably could be had for minimal guaranteed money. I dont think the Giants like Polynesians we never draft them
