Kimberly Stewart confirms baby name
Benicio del Toro and Kimberly Stewart have given daughter Delilah a double-barrelled surname.
On the birth certificate, the tot's full name has been registered as Delilah Genoveva Stewart del Toro.
The couple are not together but in April a spokesman for the actor said, 'Benicio is the father and very supportive. Although (he and Kimberly) are not a couple, they are looking forward to the arrival of the baby.'
Kimberly gave birth in a Los Angeles hospital on Sunday August 21. Delilah weighed a healthy 8lbs 9oz.
Rod and his wife Penny Lancaster-Stewart were at the hospital for the delivery, as was Kimberly's mother, Rod's first wife, Alana Collins.

History: Fate would control Hobo's young life, as he wondered into a very rescue friendly person's yard with an open fractured back leg. She immediately took him to the vet where yet another person was there to assist Hobo, in getting into the right rescue, ours! We are very thankful to everyone who assisted Hobo along his journey to getting medical attention, healing and the folks who helped with transporting him to PWD! Everyone in the right place at the right time for a very injured dog, and a second chance at finally finding a loving family. He has touched so many hearts!
Here is a little of what his foster mom had to say about him during his recuperation, "Hobo was one of the easiest dogs I have ever fostered, he is so good natured and got along great with all my dogs including my little bossy female, Queen bee. I have a 5 year old and he did absolutely great with him, it just like he loved everyone. When we went to the vets for checkups, he would ride in my back seat and just loved being chauffeured. He would do great companion dog to any family."
Hobo has been with us for about 2 weeks now, and doing great! Loves the dogs, thrives on human attention, and all around friendly dog! He even likes to play with tennis balls. He has settled so nicely here at the rescue. Another beautiful sweet hound that is ready for find his forever home.
Thank You!

Ministry in Action on July, 2012
Starting our new fiscal year for 2012-2013, we tried ventured to conduct our 1st Puppet show, though we still didn't have the materials and also the properties of Puppet, yet we collaborated with other party with their players and also their own puppets materials. This first performance was held in GKI (Indonesia Christian Church) Kemang Post , Bogor on July 3rd, 2012. This event was attended by 42 childrens, who were enthusiastic with the show. The theme, at that time was taken from Mark 10:14. We planned by doing this event jointly with other party, we can learn and understand very well on how to conduct our own Puppet Show in the future.
Still in the same month, we continued to hold our 2nd Puppet show, still collaborated with other party (Mrs. Yenny). We conducted this performance in the kindergarten and primary school " Yayasan Hosana", Semplak, Bogor, on July 16,2012. At this time, Mrs. Gunya had a chance to join us saw the puppet show. About 95 peoples including parents were attended this event. This performace was intended due to the opening of the new building of the school (which belongs to GSJA (God's Assembly Church), Semplak, Bogor) and also designated the new school year academic (2012-2013). Despite of the school belongs to the Church, some of the students come from moslem people around that area.
As we provided the children ministry, we also did Youth Seminar this month. We held "Love, sex and Dating' (LSD), How to have a good and healthy dating according to the Bible ". This seminar was intended to youth people. This event was held on July 21,2012 in collaborating with GKI Kemang, Bogor. In this event we invited LPMI (Campus Crussade) as the speaker for the topic. We were very blessed, that in this event about 34 youth were very enthusiastic come to attend the seminar.

It's in the Blood // Claire & MohinderMature
"After breakfast will be fine." As for her being a vegetarian, Mohinder hadn't even thought of it from that angle. So no rare steaks for her, sadly. Being raised as a vegetarian himself, he could go without meat around her if the smell bothered or tempted her, if he had to. "Ah, understood."
At the sound of her laugh, Mohinder attempted to keep a straight face but that quickly turned into a relieved expression and embarrassed, quiet laughter when she cleared everything up. "I'm sorry. I've never met one with your ability, so I only have what I've seen in fiction to go on. I hope to learn a lot about you and from you while you're here." And so now that he didn't have any reason to be so cautious, he returned to the drawer to collect the knives and all the sharp objects they'd need to make their breakfast.
As a bonus, she was skillful with a knife, so he wouldn't have to even worry about her cutting herself. Mohinder tended to worry a lot even though he tried not to. "Excellent," he replied with a bright smile of his own. He found himself already enjoying her presence as this was the first breakfast in a while that he actually looked forward to. Usually it was microwave meals or only chai for him so that he could return to work.
Placing the cutting board in front of her, he then set out a few knives for her to choose from as well. "If you will dice the vegetables, I'll take care of the bacon and eggs? Please let me know if the smell of the bacon gets overwhelming though. I don't have to have it, if it makes you uncomfortable. I remember the first time I'd gotten to smell its aroma… After that, I was a vegetarian no more. Mother was not happy." Remembering back, he grinned. It was totally worth it.
As he placed the onions and peppers in front of her, he figured he should get to know his new roommate better. "So, may I ask your hobbies? What do you enjoy doing? I have a computer, a TV, game systems, and such that you are welcome to use if you'd like." He nodded towards the living room where the big screen tv was. She might have been more of the outdoorsy type though; he wasn't sure yet.

Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulose to bioethanol refers to the combining of the four biological events required for this conversion process (production of saccharolytic enzymes, hydrolysis of the polysaccharides present in pretreated biomass, fermentation of hexose sugars, and fermentation of pentose sugars) in one reactor. CBP is gaining increasing recognition as a potential breakthrough for low-cost biomass processing. Although no natural microorganism exhibits all the features desired for CBP, a number of microorganisms, both bacteria and fungi, possess some of the desirable properties. This review focuses on progress made toward the development of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) for CBP. The current status of saccharolytic enzyme (cellulases and hemicellulases) expression in S. cerevisiae to complement its natural fermentative ability is highlighted. Attention is also devoted to the challenges ahead to integrate all required enzymatic activities in an industrial S. cerevisiae strain(s) and the need for molecular and selection strategies pursuant to developing a yeast capable of CBP.

Great doctor, poor practice
Dr. O'Nan is an amazing doctor and I can't recommend her enough. She has such a warm, personable manner and puts you at ease every time, like you're visiting with a friend. At the same time, her medical knowledge is top notch and she is very on top of providing quality, appropriate care. She is very willing to allow women as many options during birthing as possible, and is very flexible and supportive. I've seen her through infertility, miscarriage, and two pregnancies (including one with complications), and every time I have been so grateful for her care. One evening she even called me at home and talked to me for about 30 minutes because she knew I was upset about a situation I was facing during a pregnancy. She is wonderful. Unfortunately, I have had several major, ongoing issues with her current practice (LWH), and really dislike it there. If it weren't for Dr. O'Nan, I would be switching practices in a heartbeat.

It was the insight of Dr O'Nan that sent me to the hospital on time. within three hours of being admitted she had safely delivered my son and then spent the next nine days making sure that i got to spend as much time as possible with him during his stay in the NICU by paying very close attention to my condition and insisting on the highest level of care. In doing so I was able to remain a patient and be close to my son affording me the opportunity to be at every care time allowed in the NICU. For this I am extremely grateful.

Actually, you CAN'T get there in a wheelchair!
I'm about halfway through my temporary disability, and the novelty of getting around by wheelchair is wearing off. It takes a lot of mental and physical energy to figure out workable travel routes and maneuver myself around our streets. And as my friend Rant Woman points out, I'm not exactly a typical wheelchair user. Aside from my healing hip, all the rest of my body parts are functioning very well. I can see and hear just fine, my arms are strong, and I can use my lower legs as well as my arms to propel myself around.
And even with all these advantages, there are places I just can't get to on my own. Closest to home, I can't figure out how to get to my favorite neighborhood bar, the Bottle Neck Lounge. It's only a block and a half away - but that block and a half is too steep for me to manage on my own. I could take the bus one stop and roll down - but there are no curb cuts at all on the west side of 23rd, and the sidewalk by the Bottle Neck is a rough, temporary patch by a construction site.
I'm accustomed to using a combination of transit and biking to get around, so I'm familiar with the transit network. But the steep hills, missing curb cuts and broken pavement are much more of a concern in a wheelchair than on a bike - I can't just get out and walk! None of the information sources available to me tell me about the slope at bus stops or the condition of sidewalks and curb cuts between bus stops and destinations. For example, Google Maps tells me I should walk from 25th two blocks to 23rd to catch the #48. It doesn't tell me that those two blocks are among the steepest in Seattle, that the pavement on 24th is riddled with potholes and the curb cuts are substandard. I know that because I live here! When I travel to an unfamiliar destination, it's very challenging or impossible to figure out what obstacles I might encounter. This sidewalk cliff certainly isn't featured on any maps!
In fact, missing and substandard curb cuts create such barriers to travel that Disability Rights Washington has sued the City of Seattle for failure to comply with the American with Disabilities Act requirement that cities install and maintain curb cuts.
And friends, please don't think this is just about "those people." As I'm experiencing right now, and most of us will experience sooner than we expect, we're all just "temporarily able-bodied." Sooner or later, we're all going to need those curb cuts. Pay attention on your own travels, and post the obstacles you find #CrappyCurb.

You Really CAN Get There in a Wheelchair!
I've been traveling around Seattle by wheelchair over the last couple weeks. In my previous blog post, and in reports on facebook, I've highlighted the obstacles to wheelchair travel - which are significant. But I don't want to leave the wrong impression - in fact I've been able to get where I need to go with only minimal problems.
Overall I feel extremely fortunate to live in a place where independent wheelchair travel is possible - despite our notorious hills and infamous rain.
Here are some positives:
1. Every single one of our public buses has a wheelchair ramp and can carry two people in wheelchairs.
2. With few exceptions, bus stops are accessible.
3. Bus drivers know how to operate the ramps and how to secure wheelchairs on board, and are cheerfully willing to help wheelchair riders get on and off.
4. Sidewalks near most bus stops have gotten at least a minimum amount of repair to make them passable.
5. Link Light Rail is very easy to use by wheelchair; just roll right on.
6. Most public buildings and many shops and restaurants are accessible.
7. There are enough people out and about in wheelchairs that nobody finds it especially remarkable. Twice I've had to wait for the next bus because a bus was already carrying two wheelchairs.
8. Buses and trains run frequently enough that I don't need to pay close attention to schedules.
9. It doesn't really rain in Seattle. Hmmm... I guess I can't count on that one!
I certainly hope YOU don't fall and break your hip - but if you do, try getting around in a wheelchair. You might actually enjoy it.

View from a Wheelchair
I broke my hip three weeks ago. It's a nuisance, but it could have been much worse. The main problem is that for now, I have to figure out how to get around without putting weight on my left leg. When I'm at home, I hop around with a walker, but for going out in the community, that's much too slow. So I borrowed a wheelchair from friends at Seattle Neighborhood Greenways and have been using it to explore the city.
The first thing I notice: in a wheelchair, everything is much farther away than it seemed when I was walking and riding my bike. The long block between my house and the bus stop is now REALLY long.
The second thing I notice: obstacles that present a small inconvenience when walking or biking can be daunting barriers in a wheelchair. Hills are steeper, pavement is rougher, cracks in the sidewalk are bigger.
Here's one example: In the photo above, I'm in the street. That's because there's no curb cut at the intersection down the block by the bus stop. When I'm walking, I just cut across the grass. But now, I have to roll about half a block in the street, hoping no one zips around the corner in a car and fails to notice me.
Over the past few days I've been taking the wheelchair on the bus (we are very fortunate that all our buses are accessible!) and meeting with safe streets activists from Seattle Neighborhood Greenways to help evaluate streets that are supposedly designed for walking and biking - a designated "neighbohood greenway" and a historic boulevard. Are these streets also safe for wheelchair travel?
Here are a few of the obstacles we encountered - a sidewalk cliff:
|Photo: Bob Edmiston

|Photo: Mark Spitzer
Today I went out by myself, taking the Light Rail to University Station with a plan to explore a bit in familiar territory in the University District. I was pleased to find a transit map on the Light Rail platform, so I was pretty sure where to go to find my bus. I could see the row of bus shelters across the way. When I rolled up to the shelters, I looked for a sign confirming which buses stopped there.
The sign was at the far end of the row of shelters, completely hidden until I'd rolled all the way to the end. If I'd been walking or on my bike, the distance from one end of the row to the other would have seemed insignificant. But in the wheelchair, already feeling a bit tired from rolling across the busy street from the Light Rail station, it felt like a long way. I had a panicky feeling that I was at the wrong bus stop and would have to roll all the way back to get on the right track. Fortunately the sign confirmed I was in the right place.
I got off the bus at 15th Avenue and Campus Parkway. This is a big transfer point, where a lot of buses stop. I wanted to cross the street to stroll along Campus Parkway - but wait! There are no curb cuts and no crosswalks at this big intersection! I've been here before, walking and on my bike, and it never seemed much of a problem to go one block out of my way to cross the street. But today in the wheelchair, I felt defeated. I could go one block uphill to the north, then roll back down; or I could roll down one block to the south and push back up. I looked longingly at the far side of the street. Then reluctantly rolled downhill.
The weather has been sunny and mild since I've been using the wheelchair, so I can only guess how much worse all these obstacles would be if it was dark and raining. Even on these sunny days, I'll only venture out alone in familiar territory. I'll probably be back on two feet in a few weeks - but what if I'm not? What about the many people who have to get around by wheelchair every day? When I advocate for safe streets for people, I'll keep in mind the view from the wheelchair, and insist that streets be made safe for everyone. That's how I roll.

SLOW Rides with Senior Ladies On Wheels
This photo of two women on bicycles was taken in Seattle on August 24, 1898. Seattle had an extensive network of bicycle paths back then; it would be two years before the first automobile arrived. These women were sharing the joyful freedom of bicycling together.
I started S.L.O.W. Rides with Senior Ladies On Wheels in order to give my contemporaries a chance to rediscover that joyful freedom. Many of my friends parked their bikes in the basement years ago, and now feel hesitant to get those bikes back out. Comfortable routes for bicycling away from hills and traffic are not obvious to people traveling by car or transit, and hesitant riders are nervous about being left behind when riding with more experienced companions.
Inspired by Cathy Tuttle, Robin Randels and Michael Snyder of Spokespeople, who pioneered easy-pace neighborhood bike rides in North Seattle, I became a Ride Leader through Cascade Bicycle Club and started offering low-stress rides in central and south Seattle.
In the three years since I retired, I've explored all around my hilly Central Seattle neighborhood to find calm, low-traffic streets that bypass the steepest hills and connect with Seattle's network of trails. Following these low-stress routes, I've organized rides to showcase neighborhood assets such as pocket parks, neighborhood greenways, p-patches, public art, and community events.
S.L.O.W. Rides welcome riders of all ages and identities - anyone willing to ride SLOW and enjoy the company of others. Almost all of the 24 rides I've led since October, 2013 have included at least one other gray-haired woman, one or two men, and a few people half my age.
At first I was surprised that experienced riders would want to come along, but it turns out people enjoy the relaxed sociable atmosphere and the chance to explore unfamiliar routes. And everyone especially loves to welcome the nervous rider with a bike freshly retrieved from the basement. "I used to ride everywhere when I was younger, but it's been years..." "I might have to walk up the hills, is that OK?" "I'm not sure I can keep up with you..."
"Don't worry," we say. "We won't hurry!" The slowest rider sets the pace, and we really mean it.
S.L.O.W. Rides with Senior Ladies On Wheels are offered through Cascade Bicycle Club's Free Daily Rides program. Helmets are required on all Cascade rides. You can find S.L.O.W. Rides, and hundreds of other free rides, on the Cascade website, www.cascade.org.

What is a Crosswalk?
On the steep hillsides of Seattle, many streets are built out as stairways, not as roadways. One example is East Thomas Street, seen here in Google Maps:
As you can see in this shot looking east across Madison, this intersection is marked with a street sign. The sign for East Thomas Street includes a walking icon to indicate this is not a street for cars.
Is this a real intersection with an unmarked crosswalk? The sign attached to the bottom of the pole suggests that some people might think so. But it directs people NOT to cross here: "Use Crosswalk." The arrow points up Madison to this intersection:
East Thomas Street is a stairway both east and west of East Madison (the stairway in this view is hidden in the trees).
As you know, every intersection in Seattle has crosswalks, whether marked with paint or not. People are allowed to walk across the street at intersections, and people driving cars are required to stop for people walking. I've often wondered whether this intersection of a busy arterial and a walking path also creates a crosswalk.
Is this a real intersection with an unmarked crosswalk? The sign attached to the bottom of the pole suggests that some people might think so. But it directs people NOT to cross here: "Use Crosswalk." The arrow points up Madison to this intersection:
As we know, there are crosswalks here. They are all unmarked, and people who drive cars on Madison ignore them, but there are crosswalks here.

Keep On Nagging!
So in honor of this nomination, and in recognition of the actual well-deserved winner, Tom Fucoloro of Seattle Bike Blog, I thought I should blog about a past nag that has been, you might say, nagging at me.
On April 14, 2010, I sent the following message to Macy's department store through their website:
I notice that your website links to a Mapquest site that gives driving directions to your stores. In Seattle, as I'm sure in many other locations, your store can be reached very conveniently by public transit(the transit tunnel, which carries our beautiful new Link Light Rail as well as buses that serve the entire metropolitan area, runs right through your store), as well as by bicycle and on foot. It is a shame that your website tells customers that the ONLY way to shop is by car! I have seen a number of commercial websites with links to more comprehensive tripplanners. Google Maps now includes walking, public transit and biking directions; our King County Metro has a web-based trip planner than can be added to a website.A few days later I received this encouraging reply:
I travel by bike, transit and by foot, and it can be very challenging to find the best route to my destinations. Just this morning, I was waiting for a downtown bus when I noticed a tourist puzzling over a tourist map.She was trying to find the Macy's store, which was only 4 blocks away. A link on your website could have helped her find her way by foot from her downtown hotel.
Please let me know how you will address this concern.
Dear Merlin, Thank you so much for your email inquiring about public transportation to our Macy's stores.
We apologize for the inconvenience to those not driving but we are very glad you pointed this out to us. We certainly will look into adding these services to make shopping more accommodating for all of our customers! In the meantime, Google Maps is a great alternative and as you pointed out, has more options than MapQuest.Well, time went by. I checked in with Jennifer about the exciting changes, she reassured me they were coming. More time went by. Nothing changed. On January 31, 2012, I sent this note (Kimberly had responded to an earlier nag):
Stay tuned for more exciting changes and additions to our website.Thanks again,Jennifer
JENNIFER GOTHELFManager, Macy's Visitor Services and Tourism11 Penn Plaza, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10001
Hi Jennifer and Kimberly,Again nothing changed. A year and a half later, on July 12, 2013, I sent this exasperated note:
How discouraging! A visitor arriving at the Seattle-Tacoma airport, curious about taking a trip into town to go shopping, might check the Macy's website for directions to the nearest store. And this poor soul would STILL not learn that the Light Rail train from the airport goes DIRECTLY to the basement of the Seattle Macy's store! Your website still gives directions that are of use only to people traveling by car. And by the way, your next-door downtown competitor, Nordstrom, now offers public transit directions on their website!
You might also be interested to know that less than 50% of the people who work in downtown Seattle arrive there by car. If you want them to shop in your store, give comprehensive directions for people using ALL modes of transportation!
Today I read about Macy's great promotion for the Maison Jules Fall collection - giving away beautiful bikes!! So I checked your website again (first time since last year) thinking perhaps you had decided to include directions for people who travel by bike, and/or by transit or on foot.I didn't even get a response, and after that I gave up. I didn't even look at the Macy's website again until last week. And there to my amazement, I found this:
I really honestly don't understand why Macy's would want to encourage people to drive to shop. Especially in Seattle, which is the number 2 bicycling city in the US, and where fewer than half of the folks who work downtown arrive by car. And your store has a Light Rail station in the basement! Don't you want international travelers to zip over from the airport by Light Rail to shop for the Maison Jules Fall collection? and win one of those lovely bikes to ride a few blocks to the Pike Market?
It's very easy to add multimodal travel directions to a website. Google Maps includes walking, biking and transit as a matter of course. Please pass this request on to your webmaster.
Multimodal directions via Google Maps!
Was my three-and-a-half year nagging campaign successful? Or has the world of transportation just shifted? I'll let you decide. And meanwhile, I'll keep on nagging!

These are not painted very well, but my biggest complaint is that the hook is small, it barely fits over a standard shower bar so they don't slide very well.
They are really cute rings, but up close they don't look as nice as I thought. I'm giving them as a gift so I don't know how they fit the shower curtain rod.

In adult patients, the consistent use of language to describe dyspnea enhances patient-provider communication and contributes to diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. The objective of this research was to determine whether pediatric patients similarly display consistency in the language used to describe "uncomfortable awareness of breathing."
One hundred children between the ages of 8 and 15 years with moderate to severe persistent asthma enrolled in an asthma education research program completed questionnaires regarding descriptors of asthma on each of two occasions. In addition to the breathlessness questionnaires, demographic information, self-reported asthma severity, ED visits, missed school days, anthropometrics, and spirometry were obtained for each participant.
Children were reliable in their choice of the descriptors that they applied to their breathing discomfort across two occasions, and they selected the same descriptors that were used by adults with asthma in previous studies. Children with greater self-reported asthma severity endorsed more descriptors to characterize breathing discomfort than did children with less severe asthma, but no differences were found among children based on demographic or anthropometric variables.
Children with moderate to severe persistent asthma are reliable in their choice of descriptors of breathlessness. Knowledge of their experience of symptoms may be helpful clinically in the assessment and management of asthma.

The light in the center of my darkness
Book by: FyresydeHerbalyst
Status: Finished
Genre: Romance
Chapter34 (v.1) - some new info
The cops arrived about two minutes too late. Dan and Lotti had gotten away and I was left there bruised and scared. Rick held me tightly until I pulled away from him and walked
off. I had had it with the stress in my life. I walked into the woods and felt my way to my secluded area. It was a place I had found when I had first moved in and now it was mine
and mine alone. As I reached there I sat down and started to wring my hands. I could feel the depression start to set on me, the pain that I pushed into the back of my mind. I
couldn't live this half life any more. I couldn't live without my sight and I didn't want to anymore. Either the doctors were going to come up with something or I would find a way
myself. I wanted to see my children grow up, to be able to see the look in my husband's eyes when he sees me in my wedding dress and I was to the point where I would stop at nothing to get
I felt around on the ground and found a branch. I hefted it and started to beat on a nearby tree. I used all my strength to beat that tree until I had no strength left in me. I fell to my knees on the ground and put my head in my hands. I had finally had enough, and it wasn't my family that pushed me, but myself. I sat there for I don't know how long before I heard a familiar voice screaming my name. I looked around in the direction it was coming and quickly wiped my eyes. I moved quickly through the woods and closer towards my place. I didn't want anyone to find the little spot of mine. As childish as it was, it was my only place to be alone away from it all. All of a sudden the yelling came closer.
"Mara, please Mara where are you?" Georgia's worried voice sounded from about a hundred feet behind me.
I took a deep breath. "Here Geo, I am right over here. I figured you weren't talking to me because of everything that was going on."
She grabbed my hand. "That wasn't it. They were family and I was ashamed of them. I should have stepped in sooner and I am sorry that I didn't. You have always been there for me and at the first shot for me to repay you I turn my back. When Rick called me and told me you just walked off I got so worried. Mara, you mean the world to me and I don't know if I could ever forgive myself if anything happened to you."
I took my hand back snatching it out of her grasp. "You not only turned your back on me, you drew the lines quite clear that even I can see them. Don't worry about it Geo, I will get myself home, but maybe you should get back before the cops think you are in on it too. There is part of me that thinks you are. You know if I didn't know any better I would swear that the reason you came out here was to finish me yourself. I have always felt something off about you Georgia Lynn and now I think I know what it is. So I advise you to step back and disappear before I do tell them you were in on it and tried to kill me. You are just a psycho as the rest of your family."
I heard the crunch of twigs as she stepped forward. I stood my ground and clenched my fists at my sides. I was mad and I wasn't going to back down anymore. I took a step forward and heard a hesitation in her step. I smiled. "That's right Georgia I am not putting up with shit anymore, now you have two choices, you can be a good girl and leave or I can stomp you where you stand. I am done with the games, the lies and the betrayals. All I want is a happy life with my guy and my kids. Why is it that you have something against me anyway, what have I ever done to you?"
She took in a deep breath. "Do you know that six months after you got here while I was having sex with my husband he called me your name. He wanted you, they all want you and I just don't get it. Dan's wife didn't get it either so when he started to go crazy we both decided to egg him on. I mean come on, if we could both see you destroyed it would make us both a bit happier. When he went too far we both felt bad so we covered the medical bills. You are right I was in on it, but not in the way that you would think. I don't like you Mara and that is my problem because, well you are just too damn pretty for your own good. I tried to defile you in some way, but it wasn't possible. I don't know how you do it and it pissed me off to no end. So in the end I sorta got what I want and well from there who knows."

Angela Gheorghiu will perform in Romeo and Juliette in 2011 at the MET
And the rumours were true. Angela stars in Romeo and Juliette next to Piotr Beczala. And Placido Domingo is conducting. March 3rd to March 26th, 7 performances with the same cast.
Another confirmed rumour is Roberto's presence in Don Carlo, in some of the performances between November 22nd and December 18th.
What else is there?
* Armida and Capriccio with Renee Fleming
*Boris Godunov with Rene Pape
*Carmen with Elina Garanca
*Le Comte Ory with Damrau/Di Donato/Florez
*Don Pasquale with Anna Netrebko
*Simon Boccanegra with Fritoli/Vargas/Hvorostovki/Furlanetto
*Tosca with Radvanovky/Alvarez and Urmana/Licitra
*Die Walkure with Kaufmann/Voight/Terfel/Blythe
.And many more. See all the details on the MET Web Site
Playbill Arts also mentions the new Live in HD Season. Sorry, no Romeo&Juliette :( but Don Carlo is included. Read the ARTICLE for a very comprehensive review of the new season at the MET..
The Met: Live in HD 2010-11 Series
The 2010-11 season of The Met: Live in HD will feature 11 transmissions, beginning on October 9 with Das Rheingold and continuing with Boris Godunov (October 23), Don Pasquale (November 13), Don Carlo (December 11), La Fanciulla del West (January 8), Iphigénie en Tauride (February 26), Lucia di Lammermoor (March 19), Le Comte Ory (April 9), Capriccio (April 23), Il Trovatore (April 30), and Die Walküre (May 14). The company's enormously successful, Peabody and Emmy Award-winning series of live transmissions into movie theaters in 44 countries and more than 1000 theaters around the world has sold more than 1.8 million tickets so far during the 2009-10 season. With two transmissions remaining in the fourth season of the popular series (Hamlet on March 27 and Armida on May 1) attendance is expected to exceed two million, effectively tripling the Met's paying audience (approximately 800,000 people attend performances in the opera house in a Met season).
New York Times also brings bad news for Met goers: The cost of an average individual ticket will rise by 11 percent, while subscriber tickets will go up an average of 6 percent. But the productions there worth spending more money, right?

|EJP-Tracer - How to do it?
|Thu, 08 Jan 2004 02:31:28 GMT
I am trying to find a performance problem using the EJP. I have not used such a tool before and I am struggling a bit. I manage to run tracer on a simple java program without any problems. After playing around for a few hours I also managed to configure it to trace Tomcat (main class: org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap), but unfortunately it fails with: 'An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM. Is it maybe possible to just run a trace on a single web-app and if so how can one do this? Any tips or direction to more information is highly appreciated. grts, Patrick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Nicole Aniston Returns to Vivid Gentlemen's Club Houston -- Nicole Aniston, the gorgeous curvy blonde, green-eyed adult superstar and Penthouse Pet of the Year, will make her third appearance at Vivid Gentlemen's Club in Houston December. 15-17. Says Tom Jones, owner of Vivid Gentlemen's Club: "Nicole is back by popular demand. She has lots of fans in the Houston area and they aren't shy about asking for her to make a repeat performance at our club. Actually, we're all members of her fan club." Nicole is a native of San Diego who works out every day and follows a vegan lifestyle. She was selected as one of The Top 25 Hottest Adult Stars by www.mensmagdaily.com. "I love my fans and I know I'm going to have a fantastic time, be well taken care of and meet great new people in Houston," says Nicole. She will mix and mingle, sign autographs and pose for snapshots in between dance breaks at the club. Vivid Gentlemen's Club, named the city's Best Strip Club 2015 by the Houston Press operates under a license from Vivid Entertainment. It's located at 2618 Winrock Blvd., just off Westheimer Rd., in the Briargrove area.
ADDITIONAL COVERAGE OF STEVEN HIRSCH QUOTE THAT HELPED DEFEAT PROP 60 -- There has been additional media exposure for Los Angeles Times and Associated Press stories that quoted Steven Hirsch on the dangers of the now-defeated Proposition 60 measure in the recent California election. Referring to predictions that the Proposition would cause adult companies to leave California, Steven was quoted as saying: "The entire industry would 100 percent stop producing movies in the state of California, and any revenue that goes along with that the state would lose." The Times story said that "California's legislative analyst and finance director estimate Proposition 60 could cost the state millions of dollars annually in lost revenue, but adds that some of that could be recouped by fees it would impose on pornographers and by reduced health care costs. After the LA County measure passed in 2012, Hirsch said his company and others moved their film shoots to other parts of the state. This time, with the stakes much higher, he said they would simply have to go elsewhere, adding that states like Florida and Nevada are possible candidates." Among media using the Times story were: BusinessInsider.com, LACBSLocal.com, AOL, NPR, Arcamax.com, HDNews.net, SNewsi.com. The Associated Press story by John Rogers appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Daily News, Washington Times, Topix.com, USNews and many other outlets.
FARRAH LASHES BACK AT CRITICS -- Farrah Abraham, star of two best-selling Vivid Celeb movies and MTV's Teen Mom series, has lashed back at critics in an Us Magazine interview. Her Us Magazine comments were in response to remarks made by Maci Bookout during a Teen Mom OG season 6 reunion special, which aired on December 5. When Bookout joined host Dr. Drew Pinsky on stage at the end of the show, she "calmly explained that she had come in early to take Abraham's filming spot because the former adult film actress had a 'bitch fit' and ended up leaving." But in a follow-up article, Us reported: "in regard to Bookout's 'bitch fit' claims, Abraham tells Us: 'I don't ever have 'bitch fits.' It's clear only Maci, Amber and Catelynn do (have fits) about me. I get better treatment because I'm a hardworking business mogul and amazing mother who holds herself with respect and keeps production accountable and always goes above and beyond what is asked. And I stay above the trash they have on the show. Sadly, the girls are not taken seriously because of how they conduct themselves, and they're to blame, not me.'" Abraham is the star of Vivid's Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom and Farrah Abram 2: Backdoor and More.

Ed and Barry,
I have not found the papers for which I was looking, but did find a
very good piece on testing in Geraniums IV in the chapter on History.
But, the testing mentioned there was done in about 1966. I think Dr.
Mary Gibby did some of the DNA testing. She is now in Scotland, I
believe. Will see what I can find next week.

Fuel Smell Brings Out Fire, Coast Guard During Boat Salvage
Crew says small quantity leaked into surf despite efforts to shore up scene
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A small fuel leak was reported at East Beach in Santa Barbara during a salvage operation for a storm damaged boat.
Brent Aston with Big B's Boat Disposal says the vessel was in bad shape when he arrived with a crew and heavy equipment.
The "Walkabout" sailboat was partially under the sand, and some of it was cracked open, making it difficult for the crew to break it up and haul it out. Some of the work was done with hand tools. Workers were also up to their knees in water to pick up loose debris. A small sand berm was built to confine the working area from the afternoon surf.
Harbor Operations Manager Mick Kronman says the salvage crew has a clean track record and has been called in by boat owners to handle other jobs.
Aston says he is on a city list when beached boats need to be hauled out or demolished.
Some nearby volleyball players were concerned about the diesel fuel smell and notified the Santa Barbara City Fire Department. Engine 2 assessed the situation and did not seen a spill, or anything that needed an absorbent, but did notify the Coast Guard which sent out two representatives.
No environmental offenses were detected and the salvage operation continued.
Aston said he hoped to have two boats removed from the sand by sundown, and planned to make sure all debris was picked up and the beach was groomed before they left the area.
MORE details and video will be posted later today.Slideshow: Fuel Smell Brings Out Fire, Coast Guard During Boat Salvage

text: CARLSBAD, Calif., May 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Demoing Callaway Golf Company's (NYSE: ELY) new Big Bertha clubs can help golfers pick up more distance, and now gives them a chance to win the same dollar amount as Phil Mickelson's official prizewinning paycheck at the Pinehurst event on June 12, 2014-June 15, 2014 (up to a maximum of $1.5 million US dollars, the estimated first place winnings). Callaway this morning announced " The Big Big Bertha Payday," a promotion that starts today in the US and Canada. Golfers that demo a Big Bertha Alpha Driver, a Big Bertha Driver or a Big Bertha Fairway Wood at a participating location will receive a code that they can use to enter for a chance to win the same dollar amount that Phil Mickelson wins at the season's second major championship. Phil Mickelson discusses The Big Big Bertha Payday (#BerthaPayday) here: http://youtu.be/CDz1wt_YZvYThe Big Bertha Alpha is the first golf club with four independent forms of adjustability, and the first to include adjustable vertical Center of Gravity. The Big Bertha Driver, a total performance driver, debuts an innovative sliding weight that is positioned around the perimeter of the driver head to help produce longer, straighter drives. And the Big Bertha Fairway Wood's faster ball speeds across the face are a result of the lighter, thinner Hyper Speed Face Cup.

The trees grew thick and dense here. No light from outside found its way inside-- and the shadows never left. The pale din was just light enough to see where one was going, but it was of little use in any other way.
How had this happened, Adelaide wondered lamentably. Her feet were miserable, pleading with her to stop and rest, just for a moment.
"No. If I stop now, they'll only catch up to me." Hate welled up inside her, boiling her blood as she thought of them.
They had ruined everything for her. Tears formed in her eyes-- she blinked them back and trudged on.
To her right, a startled bird fluttered away with a hideous shriek. Adelaide covered her mouth, frightened. Her heart stuttered and faltered, threatening to fail altogether.
This time, she couldn't fight back the tears that blurred her vision, turning the trees into a massive, muddy brown boundary. She was forced to stop now, and her feet were quite relieved. Still, she made no noise, They were surely far behind her now, but she dared not to take the risk. If they had the dogs, it wouldn't be much longer 'til they found her.
The return of her fear--such petrifying fear, encouraged her to hastily wipe the tears from her eyes and keep moving, a little faster this time. Eventually, as the twilight grew darker, Adeliade came upon a rock wall in front of her. It was several feet taller than her, and for as far as she could see, it spanned the whole width of the forest.
"Now, I surely must be going the right way." If she could only scale the wall, the sea would only be a day's travel away.
The sea... Adelaide's eyes glistened as the memory of the smell of salty air and the sound of the crashing waves flooded back to her. She could almost taste it.
Maybe Dusty would still be there. Dusty would know what to do, she thought hopefully. Dusty always knew what to do.
She placed her right hand tentatively on a stone, groping with her fingers for a sure grip. She tried to pull herself up, but her hands slipped and she fell gently on the squishy undergrowth. She tried again with little success. She paced a short length of the wll, searching for a better place to climb. "It's no use," she whined despairingly.
She went to kick one of the rocks embedded in the wall with the toe of her boot and discovered that it was loose. Though her toes hurt, she nearly forgot all about the pain, and bent down to inspect it.
The rock was particularly large. Large enough so, if someone rather small like herself were able to push the rock out, she could crawl through on her belly. "Hmm..."
Adelaide pushed the rock with all her might, the cool surface smooth under her palms. With a good shove, the rock fell back. Her muscles burned with the strain of her continuous shoves, but she was pleased with her accomplishments. Putting the rock back will be even harder, I shouldn't wonder, she thought to herself.
The wall wasn't particularly wide, which Adelaide was grateful for. If I happened to get stuck... She was careful not to finish the thought. She got on her belly and wiggled her way under the wall.
When she was free, she struggled to replace the rock. It was even harder than she expected. After some minutes, she succeeded and sat with her back against the wall, breathing heavily.
It would take them sometime to figure out how she got across. She was safe now. Besides, they dare not cross the border. Those superstitious fools were afraid of the magical world that was spread out before her.
Adelaide, well rested, now had a choice. She could seal the rock in place, so no one would be able to follow her. However, should someone else like herself be captured and fortunate enough to escape, they would need this rock loose so they could get out too. However, the odds of someone taking the same path as her... Was it really so unlikely?
Hoping she wouldn't regret it, she left the rock as it was. She hoped it would be useful for future fugitives someday.
She walked on through the night, knowing she wasn't imagining the glistening fairies that lit up a small path. They watched her curiously as she passed. She smiled at them, hoping they were too tired to tug at her hair for their nests. It was a pointless hope, though, and she had to shoo away the greedy little brutes.
The trees were less dense now, and she was comforted with the knowledge that she was almost home again.
"It won't be the same without my father, but I have to move on. For his sake, if not for my own too."
She sighed and wrapped her thick cloak around her. Now that she wasn't so worried, the cold bit at her. The wind had sharp teeth, thousands of cold little needles poking at her face and her ears.

text:
This is the first time you have sat down together – all the captains of the big three – and talked leadership. What sort of a captain are each of you, the "once more unto the breach" type?
Katy McLean Yes I'm probably like that, a bit of a shouter.
Casey Stoney Me too.
Charlotte Edwards I'm pretty hard. I don't shout but they know who is in charge.
CS When people need a kick up the backside you give it to them, especially in training where you want to create a competitive environment. But there is no point in me saying you need to do this and not doing it myself – you have to lead by example. I'm not afraid not to be liked either if that's what's necessary.
It must change your relationship with other players, people who are your friends?
CE You don't realise they [the other players] are looking at every single move you make. I've had to drop mates sometimes. It can be hard but they know I'm doing the best for the team. You have to be thick-skinned.
KM It can be quite lonely sometimes. It's a big step that nobody prepares you for.
CS I was lucky as I was vice-captain for a while but it's different when you make that step up, although I don't have half the responsibility that you do Charlotte.
CE When you are away for five or six weeks, it's a long time to keep everyone happy. That's probably the hardest part, making sure that they all get on. I feel like a social worker at times.
CS Sometimes you just want to go in your room and shut the door…
CE Then you get a knock on the door and you're like 'oh no, what's this about'. But they need to feel they can approach me. And then you have got to perform – I have to open the batting and I've got to score runs.
You can separate the responsibilities of captain from your responsibilities as a player?
CE Yes. I'm there to do a job – to score runs and if I do we'll be successful. In cricket you can make more of an impact individually. You're an individual in a team sport.
CS That's massive, performing well. If you keep performing well, hopefully you get others to strive to match your performance. If you are not performing then that makes it more difficult. You're not always confident. Sometimes you have to put a front on.
CE I agree. I have gone through times when I have not scored runs for England. You have got to be the same person [with the your team-mates] you were when you got a hundred. Consistency of behaviour [as a captain] is important.
Has the role changed you, or are you natural leaders?
CE I think I am quite natural. I've always wanted to do it.
CS I've been a captain at every club I've been at since I was 20 so there has always been something in me. I didn't realise how much pressure came with [captaining England] – but it's pressure I enjoy.
KM I'm quite outspoken and if there's something I don't agree with I will end up saying it. There have been times when I felt I want to be in the middle of my friends but you think I can't right now because I am captain. That's always there.
CE You have to be self-aware and aware of others. But be you. Don't try and be someone you are not.
So what does it feel like to lead out your country?
KM It was my ultimate dream. I've always wanted to captain my country, as ridiculous as that might sound. The only thing that would be better – the pinnacle – would be to lift a World Cup as England captain.
CE You feel 10 foot tall. When I walk through the Long Room at Lord's [she puffs up her cheeks and exhales slowly]. There are some feelings I never thought you would experience –I've been fortunate enough to lift the World Cup.
Describe that?
CE Relief! I had played for so long – it was my fourth World Cup. You know what it makes you feel? It makes you want to do it again.
CS You do stand taller. I could burst with pride when we walk out the tunnel, especially when we were at Wembley [against Brazil in the Olympics].
CE I well up. When the national anthem comes on I'm there going: 'God, don't cry'!
CS I end up clenching my jaw. I walked out at Wembley going: 'job to do, don't get emotional.' You think if I start singing I will cry and that's no good! You could burst with pride, honestly. It's the best feeling – for all the crap you might get, the down moments, the stress, it's all worth it when you walk out on that pitch.

As Inauguration Day draws near, thousands of US government workers tapped by the Obama administration are waiting for a pink slip from President-elect Donald Trump.
It isn't unusual for a new president to clean house across US agencies, but neither is keeping a few crucial appointed roles filled — at least until worthy successors are named. This is especially true of the leadership of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which safeguards America's stockpile of roughly 7,000 nuclear weapons.
But according to a Jan. 9 Gizmodo story by Ashley Feinberg, Trump's transition team just lopped off the top of NNSA's organization chart, effectively sending leaders Frank Klotz and Madelyn Creedon packing on January 20.
Business Insider contacted several representatives of Trump's team to confirm the firings, who might be replacing Klotz and Creedon, and receive other details, but we did not receive a response in time for publication.
But the imminent implosion of NNSA leadership is the word from an unnamed "official within the Department of Energy," who allegedly told Feinberg: "I'm more and more coming around to the idea that we're so very very f—ed."
The reason, writes Feinberg:
"According to [Gizmodo's] Energy Department source, Trump's team has yet to nominate anyone to succeed them. Since both positions require Senate confirmation, if could be months before their chairs are filled. And the vacancies may extend beyond the leadership roles."
If true — and Trump's fervent "drain the swamp" rhetoric makes it seem possible, if not likely — it "doesn't make any sense," Joe Cirincione, president of the Ploughshares Fund (a global security foundation) and a nuclear policy expert, told Business Insider.
"It's another one of the unprecedented moves that Trump sees as a clean sweep but could be very bad for the country," Cirincione said. "You really don't want to strip away the senior management of your nuclear weapons without naming a replacement. The nukes are basically home alone if you do that."
Paying the guards of the guards
Cirincione has spent close to a decade on Capitol Hill within the House committees on Armed Services and Government Operations — two groups which help oversee NNSA contract work.
He says that NNSA bosses like Klotz and Creedon must sign off for nuclear weapons contractors to receive payment.
If there is no one in their seats, the money can stop flowing.
"It's not as bad as not paying the guards of our nuclear weapons, but it's as bad as not paying the people who pay for the guards of our nuclear weapons," he said.
So, for an organization that may get roughly $12.9 billion this year alone to maintain "the safety, security, and effectiveness" of existing nuclear weapons, as well as oversee new projects (such as the development of tactical gravity bombs), even a few leaderless days could translate into hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of missed payments and possibly compromise essential services.
"If this goes on, you'll start seeing contracts ending and a lack of contractual oversight. You will see an impact on our vast nuclear complex," he said. "Every day, [tens] of millions of dollars are moving through the pipeline, and it's under the control of the two people [Trump] just dismissed."
What's more, Cirincione — whose organization wants to eliminate nuclear weapons, and says he has "blasted" Klotz and Creedon for excessive contract costs and delays — says that immediately firing NNSA's leadership may not even be necessary or logical, especially given Trump's call to proliferate nukes.
"Both Klotz and Creedon are pro-nuclear-weapons. They're the ones in charge of the health of our nuclear weapons," he said. "It doesn't make sense. Yes, they were appointed by the Obama administration, but they're non-ideological. It's not like they've been blocking things."

The Influence of the Financial Industry in the European Policy Process
€ 10,99
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Dezember 2010
BeschreibungStudienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Thema: Europäische Union, Note: keine, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: At the end of 2005, the European Commission released a white paper on financial service policy (EC 2005: 3). It was called "the best financial framework in the world" (EU Press 2005 found in Stichele 2008: 13). After the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in September 2008 and the accompanied full break out of the financial crisis, the question on, how such a crisis could occur with the regulation in place, was raised for good reason. Independent experts have warned that the actual lax regulation would lead to a crisis, but according to Haar et al. the Commission preferred to listen to the one-sided advice from the financial industry (2009b: 3). After the full extent of the crisis and the failures in regulation policy became obvious, one might have expected that new financial regulation would be set up fast. On the G-20 meeting in London in April 2009, Gordon Brown and others proclaimed a counter strike against the financial and economic crisis by. But according to observers, after these confessions, not much has happened in practice due to financial lobby resistance (Zeit 2009). Still in April 2010, the German newspaper Zeit pointed out that the financial industry's power has prevented new financial regulation. Although financial lobby influence is certainly not the only reason, why regulatory reform is not getting further, it has a strong influence in the policy process and overshadows other interests. In Europe, it is especially effective: The European market has been continuously liberalized, but supervision did not keep up with this trend. Financial regulation must satisfy the international level but should also be flexible enough to grasp national differences. Moreover countries are played off against each other. When a single country decides to regulate more strictly, companies can always threaten to leave the country (Stichele 2008: 40, 48). All these considerations give good reason to analyze how the financial industry seeks influence in the European policy process. This paper aims to introduce the different institutional channels where influence can be exercised.

If the Snowshoe Fits
Hey, ladies: Get off the beaten path and learn about the simple joys of snowshoeing at today's Atlas Explore Winter Women's Workshop held at the REI Denver flagship store. "The biggest thing we want to point out is that snowshoeing is fun," says Mark Guebert-Steward, REI special-events coordinator. "It's getting more and more popular every year."
Sponsored by the Atlas Snowshoe Company, the clinic will cover everything from snowshoe and footwear selection to trip planning and basic map and compass skills.
"We're going to tell you what kind of clothing to wear, talk about how to stay hydrated, where to go," says Guebert-Steward. "The best thing about snowshoeing is that it appeals to a wide audience. It's similar to hiking in that you can make it as simple or as strenuous as you want."

Adventure racer and athletic trainer Cathy Sassin will teach the workshop, and the short film Winter Escape and tips on the many fitness benefits of snowshoeing will be included. "Cathy is an incredibly talented athlete, but she also does an amazing job of connecting with the audience," says Guebert-Steward. "It's a very non-intimidating atmosphere."
The free women-only workshop will be held at four locations this weekend: today at 7 p.m. at the REI Denver flagship store, 1416 Platte Street; tomorrow, December 5, at 7 p.m. at Eastern Mountain Sports, 870 South Colorado Boulevard, Glendale; Saturday, December 6, at 9:30 a.m. at Galyan's, 8435 Park Meadows Center Drive, Littleton; and Sunday, December 7, at 2 p.m. at the Lakewood REI, 5375 South Wadsworth Boulevard.

Pi Time
DU's hockey team keeps the heat on
The University of Denver Pioneers hockey team isn't skating on thin ice. Despite a few early rough patches -- including back-to-back home losses last month to number-one-ranked University of North Dakota -- coach George Gwozdecky's charges should have a smooth path to the start of playoffs next March.
"We played a lot better in the second game," says DU sports information spokesman Erich Bacher, referring to the 6-2 loss that featured a freshman as the crimson-and-gold goalie. "And North Dakota was our toughest opponent so far."
Through the years, DU's puck-men have won five NCAA hockey titles and more than a dozen league playoff championships, and they're projected to finish in the upper echelons again this year, Bacher points out. After all, six players on the Pi roster have already been drafted by National Hockey League teams.
So you can expect some red-hot play when the University of Wisconsin team skates into Magness Arena, with its 6,000-plus seats, at 7:30 p.m. tonight and 7:05 p.m. tomorrow. Tickets, $9 to $22, are available at the Ritchie Center box office, 2240 East Buchtel Boulevard, or by calling Ticketmaster at 303-830-TIXS. -- Ernie Tucker

After continually posting Chimney Fire updates on this blog and on our Lake Nacimiento Facebook page, I am so thrilled to inform you that as of today, Sept. 6, the Chimney Fire is 100 percent contained!
There may still be lingering smoke, but CAL FIRE says this is not a threat to escape control lines. Should you see a large, dark column of smoke, you should report it immediately to 911. Crews will continue to remain in the fire area for several days, continuing suppression repair work.
As a summary, the vegetation fire began on Aug. 13 and blew through 46,344 acres before full containment was made possible today. During the duration of the fire, 49 resident structures were destroyed, along with 21 other structures. Eight structures were damaged, and only one injury was reported. There were over 4,000 personnel working on containing this fire!
From evacuations to road closures to knowing someone who lost their home, we've endured a lot lately around Lake Nacimiento. But many communities were spared, including Oak Shores, and the lake is now open to the public again, with the smoke-filled air becoming a memory.
We won't soon forget this experience and all the heartache that came with it. But we also will never forget the brave firefighters and first responders who risked their lives for days in order to save our lives and our homes. It is because of their countless hours of work that we've reached 100 percent containment, and those of us who had homes to return to owe it to them. We owe them gratitude and prayers for the rest of our lives!
Our Hero Celebration went over wonderfully this past Sunday at Oak Shores! With 438 RSVP's, we had quite a gathering for dinner, live music, face painting, drinks and more. This was an amazing fundraiser for our community, thank you to all who attended!
If any more local fire updates come through, we will share them with you here and on Facebook. Hopefully no more will! Continue to pray for containment of all the fires taking place in California right now, and for our area to be spared any more fire damage.

NEW ORLEANS - JANUARY 02: Kick returner Javier Arenas #28 of the Alabama Crimson Tide celebrates with head coach Nick Saban after Arenas scored on a 73-yard punt return in the second quarter against the Utah Utes during the 75th Allstate Sugar Bowl at the Louisiana Superdome on January 2, 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
Nobody from Alabama can quite remember when "Nick Satan" became a part of vernacular. Or if they do, they will not say for fear of him making their life hell. Suffice it to say that enough people believe the nickname fits that T-shirts were made, pitchfork and all. There are a lot of people who do not like the Alabama coach, though none of them are the houndstooth-clad masses cheering for the Crimson Tide. He does a fair amount to warrant this identity. He also wins, which is a huge "suck it" for people who do not like him. Watching Alabama slap around Michigan 41-14 on Saturday at JerryWorld, I found myself appreciating the man of the exceptionally pleated pants and few funny words. And in this time of fallen saints among college football's coaching ranks, I feel compelled to write in praise of Satan. Saban is viewed exactly as he is, as a mercenary who cares about one thing and one thing only -- winning football games. I find that kind of truth in advertising refreshing in this...

General profile
+1 202-687-6306
Harris Building
Dr. Wang began her appointment at Georgetown in 2003, she has investigated the impact of culture on cancer screening and survivorship experiences among Asian Americans. For example, by utilizing community-based participatory research principles, she led a multidisciplinary team to develop the first theory-based, culturally targeted video to increase use of mammography screening among Chinese immigrants. Supported by an American Cancer Society mentored research grant, a National Cancer Institute (NCI) R03 grant, and a Susan G. Komen special population grant, she conducted a five-year randomized controlled trial (RCT) to rigorously test the efficacy of this culturally targeted video (vs. generic video as a print control). This trial is one of the very few studies that provided empirical evidence on acculturation and the effect of cultural targeting on increasing mammography screening. Currently, supported by the NCI R01 grant mechanism, she is leading a nationwide five-year randomized control trial to examine the impact of implementing the cultural video in a peer-led group discussion session (vs. individual viewing at home) on mammography adherence. She is also leading a multisite randomized trial to examine physician-based intervention (vs. usual care) in promoting colorectal cancer screening among Chinese Americans. She has presented data on the beliefs and attitudes toward cancer screening among Asian and non-Hispanic White populations in peer-reviewed articles. Furthermore, supported by the Livestrong Foundation and NCI R21 grants, she conducted mixed methods research to investigate the impact of culture on patient-physician communication, stress-coping processes, and quality of life among Chinese and White breast cancer survivors. This cross-cultural research led to an NCI-sponsored acupressure intervention study on improving disparities in fatigue and physical functioning experienced by Chinese immigrant breast cancer survivors. Her research also extends to culture and treatment decision making among breast cancer patients, soy intake and treatment-related side effects, as well as Hepatitis C infection and primary care practice. In addition to her research activities, Dr. Wang teaches courses on cancer education and field work, cancer screening and survivorship, behavioral intervention research, and evidence-based medical research. Her research interests include biological, psychosocial, and cultural impacts on cancer prevention and care, health disparities, culturally competent health communication, health behavior changes, cancer survivorship, integrated care (e.g., mind-body medicine), and hospice care.
