With NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. in town for Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway, the Phoenix Coyotes are all over him like a pit crew on a ragged tire. (Excuse us, stewardess, but we speak NASCAR ...)
Dale Jr. debuted his special No. 88 Diet Mountain Dew/National Guard Chevrolet at last night's 5-4 victory over the Calgary Flames. (No word if they both counted towards the 11,117 tickets distributed for the game.) The Coyote are also running a No. 88 ticket special for tonight's game against the St. Louis Blues.
NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. was on hand Friday night, displaying the new color scheme on his car. He received a No. 88 autographed jersey from the Coyotes.
We're still debating if the commemorative gift sweater is a Foul or not. Might depend on if you frame it or wear it.
Here's the scene has Dale Jr. rolled onto the ice. Hey, it's not Erin Andrews at a Blue Jackets game, but it'll do.
A video or other embedded content has been hidden. Click here to view it.
What's cool about the car is that a fan designed the color scheme as part of a contest, winning out over 10,000 submissions.
Check out our friend Jay Busbee on From The Marbles this weekend for more from Dale Jr. Now that No. 88's attended an NHL game, the next step in the NASCAR/hockey synergy experiment should be a Dan Carcillo(notes) vs. Jimmie Johnson fight at center ice. Because you could sell that on pay-per-view.

The Citadel On Stage is a lively and entertaining social history of British military officers stationed in colonial Halifax. The object of this volume is to survey a wide range of social, theatrical, and recreational performances up until confederation; and to examine the reasons why the garrison officers were entirely involved in these activities. The main focus is on the garrison theatrical society as a social, cultural, and charitable entity; and how its existence revolved around the British institutions of colonial government and religion as well as economics.

Lindsey Carmichael never outgrew that stage of childhood when nothing's more fun than amazing your friends (and correcting your teachers!) with your stockpile of weird and wonderful facts. Her sense of wonder came in handy during her career as a scientist, and in 2006, she received the Governor General's Medal for her PhD thesis, Ecological Genetics of Northern Wolves and Arctic Foxes. Lindsey finds talking about science more fun than doing it, however, and now writes for kids, teens, and occasionally adults (a sense of wonder is essential for this, too).
Lindsey publishes under the name L. E. Carmichael, and her work has appeared in Dig, Highlights for Children, and National Geographic Explorer (Extreme). Her published science books cover everything from scoliosis to hybrid cars. Fox Talk was a Benjamin Franklin Awards Silver Medalist, and Fuzzy Forensics: DNA Fingerprinting Gets Wild holds the 2014 Lane Anderson Award for exceptional children's science writing. When not digging up obscure or wacky details for her next nonfiction project, Lindsey's probably working on her young adult fantasy novel.

Glenna Lives in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia with her husband, four children and two dogs.
Glenna's first novel "Somewhere I Belong" is based on her father's childhood. In the process of researching and writing the story, Glenna tried to include her fourteen great aunts and uncles, their next door neighbours, the local gossip, the parish priest, the school teacher, the schoolyard bully, the bootlegger, the bootlegger's wife … you get the picture. An early draft of "Somewhere I Belong" was a compendium of loosely connected anecdotes most readers would have needed a map to navigate.
In this workshop, Glenna talks about the mistakes she made in her early attempts to craft fiction from her family's story and how you can avoid them. She gives you pointers on choosing your main characters, narrowing down your research, developing a manageable story arc, and crafting a narrative readers will enjoy.

In 2010, Paul Butler produced a striking image of the world by visualizing friendships. At the Where 2.0 conference earlier this year, we presented some visualizations that describe how people use location in their Facebook posts.
Liking places, checking in and tagging photos with a location are just a few examples of how people use location to interact and communicate with friends. The images below attempt to visually analyze how people are using location with Facebook and present some unique slices of data.
These posts were created by processing location data using the aptly named Processing, a Java based open-source language for creating visualizations. We chose various time slices, from a single day snapshot to year-to-date images for analyzing longer-term trends.

Lack, So Long
Holocaust. Young woman, withstands the Seasons.
I exhaled, my breath curling around me like hazy ringlets of smoke. My only proof were those sudsy curls.My only proof that I truly was alive. As for now, I'm not quite so sure. The Winter has passed and no more clouds form when I breathe, and so I can't tell. Maybe, maybe not.
It doesn't feel like it, I know that much, I remember. I remember when I felt as if I was full, every single inch of me overflowing with life. Back then I never had time to consider that maybe I was lying to myself, I never had much reason either. What was there to pity in myself. You would be hard pressed to find anything, I know I was.
Summer cabins in cool mountains, where the local children looked upon me as both a spoiled princess and a radiant queen. Winters in a warm home of maple wood with fires that quivered constantly in the back of your eyes, and worked so hard to toast your toes. Anything that I could have ever wanted, and so many things that I wasn't even aware of my desire for. Then I felt as if nothing could ever go wrong. I was invincible, a little Leah of steel.
Now I wonder if all of that has just made it harder. Maybe if I had not now every pleasure that the world could give to me I would not have to deal with the harsh shock of having each and every one of those things taken away from me. I can still see every moment, feel every item under my fingertips when I try very very hard. But I've forgotten the smell of a hatbox, and the taste of caramels melting on my lips, and the tiresome and wonderful hassle of plying them away from my teeth with the edge of my tongue.
I've been here so long now. So much cold, so much dirt, and work, so much death, so much lack. I look around me and see nothing. Yes, there is dirt, a deep pit filled with waste, Rachel still suspended above the barracks as a lesson to us all. All of those things are evidence of life, the earth in all its great and terrible power would never create such things as surround me, yet I, in my meager wisdom can so easily see that they do not mean a thing.
What does any empty soup bowl, mean when no one speaks, because there is nothing for them to say. What do soiled sheets mean, when hope and need, and most importantly desire, that which drives man, have been lost. So many steps, so many bodies, so many nights, so many lives ago.
I pray for the Winter, although I'm not quite so sure who it is that I am praying to anymore. I beg whoever may be listen, whoever may not be for the ice cold, and the wisps of air that escape my mouth and float in front of my eyes. The rotating rhythms of my lungs that let me know that I am here, I am yet to leave. As hard as they, as it has tried they have not beaten me. I need the Winter to teach me that I can endure anything, that I am strong, and wise and noble. That I am comparable to the Winter in my force and beauty and worth.
The Spring that so many admire can not come without the Winter, the Winter that refuses to set it's eyes on me again. The Winter that I long for like heroines long for their lovers. The Winter that is deep and long and radiant. The Winter that is more absolute that the guns pointed at our necks and our heels, than the rusted shovels that chafe our hands and burn blood into our fingers, the thick heavy steam that powers from the smokestacks, powered by the flesh of rats.
Rats with children and families. Rats with hearts and the ability to love and hate,and most importantly accept. Rats with minds, that can reproduce charm in notes, and characters, melodies, and soliqoqouys.
I can feel in the wind, the Winter, just when I believe that there is nothing inside of me that propels me. Nothing that gives me good reason to push forward. Hints of Winter blow in on the wind. Dance across my cheeks, and sorrowfully kiss the welts on the backs of my legs. But when I allow myself the rapture inspired by the Winter, it passes like youth and peace and beauty. And when I try to remember the gentle touch of the Winter I can't remember. I can't feel it's fingers gliding along my skin, I know that it was there, but it's hard to keep knowing. To keep reminding myself that the Winter will still come, as long and as hot, and as dry as the Summer, The Winter is stronger, eternally and infinitely. It overcomes the Summer, even if it must fight so hard. It does, every time.
However, some times I, unlike the Winter, am not strong enough to keep holding on, keep holding my faith in the things that drift on the edges of my being, that only show themselves when my focus is elsewhere, when I can not truly grasp those images. Those moments, those days, those weeks, the ovens beckon me. Their warm yellow fires pulling me back to those cool Winters of sweets and smiles. The thick ash smog transforms into the soot coating the chimney. I want nothing than to crawl inside the blankets of bodies, as if warm, crisp sheets. Nothing carries allure than the thought of closing my eyes and allowing myself to pour away every last once of being that times me to this hell.
The only thing that holds me back is the smell. It reeks of death.Pure rot and decay and the fury of a world reclaiming what it has given. I find nothing more offputting than death. I can't bring myself to imagine being in that state. When I think of being here no longer, I imagine nothing more than being carried away by the wind. Drifting into eternity as the sweet scent of lavender drifts over the plains. I will not allow anyone to smell the odor of my death. Never, ever, will I become a particle, a bubble that forms into that impenetrable, shadow that hangs over each and ever one of us.
So I must wait, wait through the Summer, as the earth piles itseld into full bloom, away from me and my shell here in these walls, behind these gates, and into the Fall, and finally, one day, the Winter will come. And I will be set free. Free to breath, my breath curling around me as if hazy ringlet os smoke. Free to hold my chin up to the sky and taste the sweet ice as it falls from heaven. A gift from the god I have forgotten. The Winter will come. I will see the Winter again.

SESSION TYPE: Pediatric Pulmonology Posters
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: To identify the main risk factors to asthma in patients of age among 4 to 14 years old who were attended by the Asthma Assistance and Control Program (AACP), at Araújo Lima Ambulatory, service of the University Hospital Getúlio Vargas, located at Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.
METHODS: The study is a descriptive, observational and a retrospective one, with a quantitative approach, during which personal data from children was evaluated, through the application of a questionnaire. The study population consists of 427 children, of whom 127 were asthmatic e 300 were non-asthmatic, therefore used as the control-group.
RESULTS: Out of the 426 analyzed patients, 10,3% were born out of cesarean delivery (p = 0,0412); of 427 patients, 17,6% had a history of prior infection by intestinal parasites (p = 3,873e-14); of 422, 0,948% had a mother smoking history (both prior and current) (p = 0,01834); of 331, 4,2% had a parenthood history of asthma (p = 0,004399); of 251, 17,7% presented lining in the sleeping room in the day of the interview (p = 0,01044) and 18,1% had bed lining in the first year of life (p = 0,01733); of 322 patients, 25,12% shared or had shared the room in the first year of life (p = 0,01733); of 326, 11,3% had some kind of animal inside their house in the moment of the interview (p = 0,008207).
CONCLUSIONS: The asthma prevalence was higher among those who lived in urban areas (28,2%); those who shared sleeping room with other people (25%); those who had animal inside of their houses (11,3%); and those with a previous gastrointestinal parasite infection (17,6%).
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The asthma prevalence was higher in children with a familiar history of asthma, when compared to other studies with children between the ages of 4 to 14; it is also true for the all the others risk factors analyzed.

Duration: 128 min
Quality: HD []
Release: Sep 03, 2015
IMDb: 5.7
Opinions concerning this movie are considerably divided. I state my subjective personal opinion without claiming particular knowledge of the director's previous work or the historical period and geographical area around which the film evolves.
It is a Bildungsroman, that is a work which treats the evolution of a certain human character in time and space, or to put it in simpler terms a biographical movie. The person concerned is Gertrude Bell a charismatic British adventuress and scholar who left her comfortable circumstances in Britain to seek self-knowledge and adventure in the Arabic provinces of the moribund Ottoman Empire and was instrumental in the succession arrangements which arose after the demise of the Ottoman rule after the end of the First World War.
This is a tale of seeking self-fulfillment in the unknown, about the longing a Westerner feels for the (Middle) East. It strikes a chord with the present urge in rich Western countries to imagine the East as a place of spiritual wisdom and purity uncontaminated from the over-sophistication of Western civilization. I wonder if Gertrude Bell was alive today whether she would be a yoga enthusiast or a volunteer in a NGO for refugees...
The Gertrude Bell I am speaking about is the one portrayed in the movie by Nicole Kidman, not the historical one about whom I do not know enough to offer a sound opinion. The heroine is a troubled soul unlucky in her love life and uncomfortable with the rigid etiquette of her social environment. She is though highly intelligent and evolves in a mastermind of intercultural communication as she learns to interact meaningfully with the rough people of Arabia without scorning or snubbing them. The British Establishment realizing her skills as a scholar and social facilitator try to enlist her to the British cause in the the Middle East.
As the drama of her life takes place the vast canvas of the historical repercussions of the demise of the Ottoman Empire and the antagonisms of the Great European powers is portrayed. She meets the fellow eccentric and adventurer T.E. Lawrence and their destinies as British expatriates and flamboyant personalities but also would be power- brokers interact. After ''Lawrence of Arabia'' every appearance of Lawrence in a movie suffers by comparison because of the striking good looks of Peter O'Toole and the inevitably secondary importance this character has compared with the limelight he enjoyed in the famous David Lean film.
Other famous historical figures such as Winston Churchill or Faysal of Mecca appear fleetingly to give an impression of period authenticity. The latter role of Gertrude Bell as politician and king-maker is understated as is her role in nation building notably of Iraq.
The landscapes are admirable as well as the costumes. Aesthetically this movie is a triumph. Many people were unhappy with the scenario and I have to admit that it is not the strong point of the work. I was moved by the search of a highly intelligent and independent woman for meaning, happiness, knowledge and love in the Middle East although one has to consider that she probably idealized the subjects of her affection. Towards the end of the movie Arab dignitaries( future kings in the making) ask her ''why an Englishwoman loves us so much?''
My impression is that this is a story about an interesting character in an interesting place during an interesting historical period. I watched it in August in an open cinema and was thrilled to leave imaginatively the Athenian metropolis for an unknown age and land.

The DreamMature
Sitting in chair in the bar, her eyes were riveted to the man highlighted by the lights on the stage. Around her little pieces of the crowd could be seen by the reflected light, the edge of a cheek, a hand, the glint of glasses, but it all seemed muted, distant, blurred in comparison with the figure on the stage. He was tall, although she was not sure how tall; his hair was dark, although she was unsure of the exact shade; shadowed eyes revealed no colour, especially not from her position halfway back in the room. As she adjusted her hands where they rested on the table in front of her, fingertips tracing the base of her glass, she found herself unable to focus on anything but him.
And then he began to sing.
She heard the notes of his song begin to wash over her and felt an ache in her throat. At first she didn't even heard the words, just that voice, a little rough, sounding so impassioned, so full of life and feeling. As she listened the words began to penetrate through the sound and she let her head fall back slightly, her eyes nearly closed and a smile tilted her lips. Not that she could remember the words moments after she heard them, but she knew they were the right words, absolutely. The notes faded, the last one hanging in the air like the scent of warm brownies: rich, dark, and oh so tempting. The moment stretched like taffy and she wasn't sure if it was only a second or two, or an eternity.
And then she heard her name. It brought her chin down slightly and her eyes wide open. Staring up at him as he stood at the microphone on the stage.
The heavy sound of rain just barely penetrated the bar in the silence of anticipation. Every eye turned to follow his gaze, trying to figure out who he spoke to. Who the woman was that he was calling on, the lucky one whose name he knew, whose name he called.
She blinked, looking up at him, stunned. Was is really her he was calling on or was it someone else? She turned in her seat, trying to see. It was a common enough name. Surely it was another woman by the same name, a woman she envied for being familiar with him.
She heard his soft laughter, saw him put the mic back in its holder and walk to the edge of the stage before hopping down, one hand on the edge to steady himself. He wended his way between the tables and chairs full of bodies, grinning in her direction. That it was really her he was smiling at was no longer in doubt. The women behind her had looked just as confused, and he couldn't be looking at anyone in front of her. He was getting too close. The closer he got the more a sense of foreboding mixed with the attraction he held. A sense that he could turn her world upside down. It frightened her and drew her all at the same time. A feeling of being on the precipice that could mean flight or could mean a long drop with nothing good at the end. Glorious either way, while it lasted.
His lips parted as though speaking, but she couldn't hear him, even as close as he'd gotten. All she could hear was the pounding of rain mixed with the pounding of her heart. She stared at him, trying to puzzle out what it was he was saying, and suddenly she heard the edge of a whisper. She strained towards him, listening harder.
"You can't hide from me, Chelsie. I see you."
The words rang in her skull as the tiny sounds of the bar faded and the sound of rain overpowered everything. The sound of rain against the roof, and her bedroom window. In this moment between waking and sleeping she was unsure if she wanted to hide.
Her eyes opened to blackness, but her heart was pounding and her breaths came quickly. She didn't know if it was from fear or anticipation. He had been so close, this man whose voice spoke to her even without words, as though her soul resonated like the strings of his guitar had as he had strummed calloused fingertips and thumb over them. The words echoed through her and she had no idea if they were threat... or promise. Or perhaps just a little bit of both.
She drew a deep breath, feeling a flutter in her stomach, unable to sort out her own feelings. He seemed so familiar, but faces in dreams always do. She'd noticed that before, how someone she knew could have a different face in her dream and she would still know them, feel that had always been their face. Or other times it was a complete stranger, but in your dream you knew them.
Somehow, she knew this wasn't like that. This was utterly different, even if it seemed the same on the surface. She could still see that face if she closed her eyes, as though it was painted on the backs of her eyelids. Maybe not precise details, but the sense of him, the essence of his face. Of him. Could still hear his voice resonating in her ears and in the depths of her mind. She even knew how he smelled; it was a little like rain on hot pavement, and the smell on the wind when it changes direction. And sex. The fact that she knew his smell disturbed her more than anything because in her dream he hadn't gotten close enough for her to catch his scent. Was it only her mind inventing what a man like him would smell like, or was it truly a sensory perception?
She ran her hands through her hair, pushing it back from her face as she blinked blearily in the dark room. Turning her head, she searched for the slight glow of her clock. 2:00 am. She had four hours left to sleep before she had to get up for work. Could she sleep now? She certainly hoped so.
As she rolled over in bed she thumped her pillow, trying to push away the strangeness of the dream. Somehow she almost felt like crying that it was gone. As though she had lost something in waking. Her eyes closed, and she heard a whisper of his voice as she drifted to sleep. "I see you, Chelsie. I always see you." Somehow the thought was comforting despite her earlier fear, and she sank back into sleep easily.
