She earned a BA at St. Joseph's College for Women in Brooklyn, New York, and an MA in 17th-century literature at Columbia University. On a ship to Paris after World War II, she met poet and publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who later published Ponsot's debut collection through his City Lights Press.

The this week's chapter from the my book beta-test was intended to have a brief discussion of Christian-Jewish relations, but on re-reading what I initially wrote, I began to wonder whether my take was quite accurate, and also got worried about a lack of good examples of what I had in mind.

I have been away from the day to day of working at the City of Vancouver for about a year now and have enjoyed the opportunity to immerse myself in new and exciting things like hanging out in Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Prince Edward Island (ah the taste of Lobster fresh from the sea!) and spending more time trying to figure out how to best assist my grown children navigate their next steps in life.
During this time I have been in constant touch with the global discourse on drug policy issues though, and am painfully aware of the need for change in the way that we address such issues as illegal drugs, addiction and mental health. While the volume of calls for change seems to be rising we do not really see the concurrent action at the legislative or policy levels in governments around the world. In the UK despite the excellent work that groups like Transform Drug Policy Foundation, the Beckley Foundation and others are doing towards outlining the dire need for change in our strategies the Cameron government has stayed the course and continues to talk the talk of the drug war seemingly unwilling to look at the unintended consequences of this war or the utter failure of the drug war to achieve any of its goals to reduce harm from the manufacture, sale and use of psychoactive substances. In Mexico which is in a state of of absolute crisis when it comes to drug policy, president Felipe Calderon floated the notion of debating legalizing drugs then quickly reversed tack and ramped up the deadly war on the drug cartels, which is really a war on innocent people caught in the cross fire. In Canada the federal government is damning the torpedoes and heading straight into a wild cycle of "tough on crime" legislation designed to show a more punitive approach to social problems that will cost billions and is guaranteed to have poor or even damaging results. Being seen to be "tough on crime" is more important than outcomes at this juncture in the politics of staying in power.
With so much clamor in public policy circles about "evidence-based" policy development I have been struck by the fact that within drug policy how resistant the system of global drug prohibition is. It does indeed appear to be an evidence-free zone as many have pointed out over the years and unable to respond to 21st century realities in the global drug market. This is worrisome in light of the growing interest in resilience that has emerged within the environmental movement and is being embraced by a wide array of social policy thinkers. Resilience is the capacity to deal with change and continue to develop. The Stockholm Resilience Centre defines Social Resilience as:
"the ability of human communities to withstand and recover from stresses, such as environmental change or social, economic or political upheaval. Resilience in societies and their life-supporting ecosystems is crucial in maintaining options for future human development."
And just as with the issue of climate change our policies around illegal drugs need to change in order for us to move forward to maximize the benefits and minimize the harms of psychoactive substances. In the face of zero evidence of success and significant evidence of failure and harm to society of current approaches drug control – there continues to be an attitude that if we only try a little harder, spend more money, build more prisons, tighten immigration laws, enhance border control, then things would get better. It is a sort of child like thinking – believing in a magical solution.
There seems to be a tremendous amount of resistance to doing what more and more people are saying needs to be done – we must adopt a new approach to respond to illegal drugs based on public health and human rights principles. (Check out the Vienna Declaration that I wrote about in previous posts and sign it. Become a member of quite an outstanding bunch of signatories all calling for change). Clinging to the same old same old as conditions deteriorate is to attempt to resist the natural process of resilience. In terms of our response to illegal drugs in society resilience theory would suggest that we have become so invested in given configuration of resources (resources to support and enforce global drug prohibition to stem the flow of drugs and therefore reduce drug use) that we have become unable to change even as globalization has forever changed the realities of the illegal drug trade.
Clinging to the notion of controlling drugs through the blunt instrument of criminalization of these commodities that have real demand in the global market place in light of the evidence that we have today is absurd. Resilience theory would indicate that we find ourselves in a state of minimum flexibility (doing the same thing over and over again with poor results) and maximum capital sequestration (spending billions with little results to show in terms of reaching our goals). Delaying the inevitable collapse of this system of drug control and actively resisting change towards new and innovative approaches will make the collapse much more severe when it finally does occur. Perhaps we are seeing signs of this in the horrific collapse of any kind of civil order in parts of Mexico as the failure of the Mexican drug strategy plays out with a chilling loss of lives. In essence our approaches have not kept up with contemporary developments and have resisted any notion of changing with the times.
Some countries are showing that they are more in tune with the natural processes of change and adaptation to new environments. Rather than continuing with the old they are experimenting with new ideas and approaches. Several European countries have been acknowledging the need to adapt and change over the past 20 years and most recently countries like Portugal, the Czech Republic, Argentina have let go of the old and have moved sharply in a new direction – decriminalization of drugs for personal use. How is it going to change globally? Will the cacophony of noise out there calling for saner approaches for whatever the reason whether it be compassion for folks with addictions, or a desire to reduce the ridiculous amount of wasted public funds on the futile pursuing of drugs, drug merchants and drug users, or for the business opportunities that will arise in a new post prohibition economy? Whatever the reasons change is coming and we need to get ready lest we experience the collapse of our way of operating. Which brings me to another topic that I stumbled upon while perusing the resilience world – Transition Management: New Mode of Governance for Sustainable Development developed by Derk Loorbach. Here is an editorial that Loorbach wrote last December outlining the emerging field of Transition Management. We might start thinking now of how the transition to a new paradigm of responding to psychoactive drugs will take place.

Every day, the American bull market looks more and more like the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s. Except when it comes to valuations.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX) briefly jumped above 2,000 for the first time Monday and the Nasdaq Composite Index is within 10% of a record reached in March 2000, a time when Pets.com Inc. was worth more than $150 million. Investors have seen annualized returns of 24.5% since March 2009, compared with 27.1% over an equal amount of days ending March 24, 2000, the peak of the Internet rally, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Stocks are catching up to the pace of more than a decade ago amid record profits, near-zero interest rates and economic growth that's expected to accelerate. While the dot-com bubble peaked with the S&P 500 trading at close to 30 times annual earnings of its companies, the valuation is about 19 times now, data from S&P Dow Jones Indices show.
"We're on the expensive side of fair value, but certainly not in the bubble place they were in the 2000 period or in a place that concerns us," Ed Hyland, an Atlanta-based global investment specialist at JPMorgan Chase Private Bank, said. The firm oversees about $1 trillion. "There is potential for the market to go higher."
(More: Are you prepared for the next bear market?)
The S&P 500 rallied as much as 0.7% Monday to 2,001.95 before paring gains, pushed up by prospective corporate takeovers and speculation European economic stimulus will be increased. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, known as the VIX, rose 2% to 11.70, rebounding from a five-week low.
Tuesday, U.S. stocks were up for a sixth day in seven, with the S&P 500 adding 0.2% to climb above 2,000 again by mid-morning in New York. The VIX lost 2.1% to 11.46.
Five years of gains have driven the S&P 500 up 195%, compared with a 236% advance over the comparable period ended in March 2000. With the Federal Reserve calling valuations in smaller biotechnology and social-media companies "stretched" and mega-deals resurfacing, concern that prices are too high is growing.
Over the past three years, investors have seen a flood of technology and Internet companies go public, including King Digital Entertainment Plc, Yelp Inc. and Twitter Inc. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., the Chinese e-commerce company, is working on an initial public offering that may be the biggest in U.S. history.
The dot-com bubble was marked by unprofitable Internet companies selling shares for the first time, such as Pets.com, which had a sock puppet mascot and raised $82.5 million in February 2000. The company has since gone out of business.
"At this point, what the market should be doing is debatable," Brad McMillan, chief executive officer at Commonwealth Financial Network in San Diego, said by phone. His firm oversees about $86 billion. "Right now there's a clear upward trend."
This bull market has seen widespread gains across all kinds of companies, unlike the technology bubble when the best performance was concentrated in computer shares. The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, which strips out biases related to market value, has risen an annualized 28% since 2009, almost double the return from the last half of the Internet bubble.
An average of 380 S&P 500 stocks have increased during each of the last five years, compared with 307 in the 1990s, data compiled by Bloomberg show. At the record Monday, 48 stocks hit a 52-week high, compared with 27 at the peak in 2000.
The "market is being rational, responding to improving domestic economic news, extraordinarily low interest rates, easy monetary policy and limited inflation," Howard Ward, chief investment officer for growth equities at Rye, New York-based Gamco Investors Inc., which oversees about $47 billion, wrote in an e-mail. "The market's valuation level is very defensible."
(Related: Fed chief Yellen stays loose on monetary policy)
Options traders are seeking protection against losses after the S&P 500 climbed about 8% this year and has gone without posting a decline of 10% since 2011.
About 2.2 bearish puts were owned for every call betting on gains in the benchmark equity gauge, near the highest ratio since October 2008, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Puts wagering on a slide to 1,950 by Sept. 20 had the biggest open interest.
Viewed as one long bull market beginning in October 1990, the dot-com bubble is much larger than the current rally. The S&P 500 climbed more than 400% over that stretch and the Nasdaq (CCMP) Composite Index increased 15-fold, producing annualized returns of more than 33% for almost 10 years.
The Nasdaq peaked at 5,048.62 March 10, 2000, and would have to rise more than 10% from its current level of 4,557.35 to surpass that record. Since stocks bottomed five years ago, the gauge's best annual performance was in 2009, when it rose 44%. That's about half its return in 1999.
"The underlying fundamentals justify the level of U.S. stocks," Cameron Hinds, regional chief investment officer at Wells Fargo Bank NA in Lincoln, Nebraska, said in a phone interview. "We're not at the same level of extremes as in 2000, when valuations were clearly excessive and were apparent not just in hindsight but at the time."

Canada OK's foreign energy takeovers, but slams door on any more
By Michael Erman and David Ljunggren
NEW YORK/OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada approved China's biggest ever foreign takeover on Friday, a $15.1 billion bid by state-controlled CNOOC Ltd for energy company Nexen Inc., but drew a line in the sand against future buys by state-owned enterprises.
In a fierce defense of a tough, new foreign investment framework, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canada would not deliver control of the oil sands - the world's third-largest proven reserves of crude - to a foreign government.
The ruling, anxiously awaited by investors and politicians alike, followed months of heated debate about how much of Canada's energy sector could and should be absorbed by companies run by other nations.
The bid triggered unusually open dissent among legislators in the ruling right-of-center Conservatives, many of whom were particularly nervous about the idea of allowing China to gain control of the oil sands.
Canada said yes to this deal, but will not do so next time.
"To be blunt, Canadians have not spent years reducing the ownership of sectors of the economy by our own governments, only to see them bought and controlled by foreign governments instead," Harper told reporters after Ottawa gave the deal the green light, along with approval for the less controversial takeover of gas company Progress Energy Resources Corp by another state-owned energy company, Petronas of Malaysia.
"Foreign state control of oil sands development has reached the point at which further such foreign state control would not be of net benefit to Canada," he added.
The bid by CNOOC, China's third-largest oil company, had raised huge questions for Harper's Conservative government, which sought both to appear open for investment and to diversify Canadian energy exports toward Asia and away from the United States. The strict new approach restricts state-owned enterprises to minority stakes in Canadian enterprises except in what Harper described as "exceptional circumstances". Continued...

What is arteriovenous (AV) graft surgery?
Arteriovenous (AV) graft surgery creates a synthetic access point into the body's circulatory system to perform dialysis. Dialysis removes wastes and extra fluid from your blood when the kidneys can no longer perform this function. This is known as kidney failure. AV graft surgery allows blood to flow from your body to the dialysis machine and back into your body after filtering.
AV graft surgery involves connecting a vein to an artery with an artificial tube or graft. The graft is usually made of synthetic material. Surgeons sometimes use a transplanted animal or human blood vessel.
An arm is the usual location for an AV graft, but a thigh can also be used. The graft is tough and can tolerate the multiple needle punctures needed for dialysis better than a normal vein. After AV graft surgery, you will feel a "buzzing" sensation over the graft.
AV graft surgery carries some risks and potential complications. It is only one option for dialysis access. Other options include an AV fistula (directly sewing an artery and a vein together) and a venous catheter, which is for short-term dialysis. I
AV graft surgery is generally for people who need long-term dialysis and have small or unhealthy blood vessels. You may have other dialysis access options. Consider getting a second opinion about all your dialysis access choices before having AV graft surgery.

Beta Testers needed for Infection
Posted 21 March 2014 - 09:47 PM
I really need beta testers for my first game which I hope you'll enjoy.
It's a post-apocalyptic traditional RPG set in the near future, with puzzle elements inspired from the Zelda and Resident Evil series. Checking items and objects is also a huge part of the gameplay (as you can probably guess, Resident Evil influenced me a lot). And of course, there's humour and easter eggs thrown in there for good measure
I've played through it without any bugs or crashes, but of course I know what I'm doing, so my biggest concern is the difficulty since I'm using Yanfly's Enemy Levels Script. If it's too hard, please let me know, and I'll revamp the enemy design so it's more like Pokemon for instance (capped at certain points). I'm also looking for any graphical, musical, or grammatical errors.
I hope you are interested and enjoy the game PM me or reply in the comments and I'll send you a zip of the finished game. It was built in RPG Maker VX Ace and doesn't need the RTP as it's sort of bundled (I cut a lot of unused stuff out).

Basically, I got my friend to play it and it was really hard for him. Like unfair at times. So what I've been doing is completely redesigning the enemies, and removing Yanfly's Enemy Levels Script, with all new moves. I've created the moves, I've just got to implement them and also balance out the enemies.
I also thought of a new mechanic of saving people at certain points - similar to Dead Rising 2 if anyone's played it. It'll take some time though as there's a lot of if statements I've got to add.
I'm also preparing for my RE exam (ugh, so annoying), so it's slowing me behind schedule.
Sorry again for not having this done beforehand, I guess the reason of why I got through it fine was I knew what was coming up.
Shouldn't be much longer though, I'm aiming before May haha

ZLW-300HO Antique Reproduction Pierced Yale Entry Door Pull Plate Handle
Scarce reproduction entrance door plates made by Sargent, circa 1900.
This handle does not operate a mortise lock; it operates as a pull handle only. Very nice design to pair with our thumblatch plates on double doors.
Lost Wax cast brass, darkened and lacquered.
Door Plate Measurements:
This series allows for various thicknesses of doors, and in conjunction with our double thumblatch lift mortise lock, you'd have an approved code installation.
If you have a double door, or would just like the extra bolt functionality on your single entry door, we suggest using the following popular door bolts:

What did Carter achieve at Ofcom?
The short answer is a huge amount. When it was first being promoted all those years ago before the Communications Act, the very idea of a "super" regulator appeared at the very least impractical. It was all very well to talk about "convergence" in theory but TV, radio and telecoms are so different that common regulation is surely a non-starter - or so the argument went. Well, at this basic level at least he's done it. We now have one regulator for the whole communications sector instead of five, and it works.
By hiring big hitters from the "strategysphere" particularly in the world of broadcasting (and mainly from the BBC), he created an organisation that could think big. First signs of what this might mean came with Ofcom's review of public service broadcasting. Evidence gathering and big ideas were to the fore. The commercial broadcasters - used to dealing with the old ITC - didn't know what had hit them.
Ofcom came to understand ITV's difficulties - the cost of public service commitments set against the declining value of the analogue spectrum - before the broadcaster's own bosses did. And the definition of public service broadcasting that Ofcom generated was far clearer and more coherent than anything the BBC had managed to come up with, recently at least. (It is impossible to miss the similarity between Ofcom's definitions and Building Public Value, the manifesto produced by the BBC after the arrival of Michael Grade and Mark Thompson.)
Once, the BBC was the acknowledged centre of gravity in broadcasting policy making; now Ofcom has seized the mantle. It is also worth noting that Ofcom's broader remit could have led it into serious conflict with the BBC. But that hasn't happened either (yet!).
Under Carter, Ofcom has largely followed through the logic of its own analysis. The regulatory burden on ITV has been reduced significantly, and pushed through by Ofcom in the face of considerable public and political opposition. Perhaps paradoxically, given the way that regulation of BBC services is shaping up with the new and detailed Service Licences, Ofcom is felt by many in the content business to have embraced so-called "light touch" regulation.
In the worlds of radio and telecoms people talk of greater clarity, rigour and transparency - particularly in the awarding of licences. And maybe this represents the key to what Carter and his team have achieved. Sometimes they may have more big ideas than they can handle, and they have a bit of a tendency to pursue radical propositions almost for the sake of it, but Ofcom is, for the most part, an open and professional, evidence-based regulator. And for anyone familiar with the old world of regulation in TV and radio that at least is a breath of fresh air.
Will the elderly take to digital?
One of the most vexed issues with the great switch to digital - which is, by the way, due to last longer than the second world war - is so-called "targeted help". This is money - to be raised as part of the BBC licence fee - to help elderly, vulnerable and poor people to make the switch. People in these groups tend to make even more use of their televisions than the rest of us, so to allow them to be cut off in the process of switchover is close to unthinkable.
As yet, no one will say precisely how much money will be allocated for "targeted help" or specifically what limits will be put on eligibility. This in itself is causing a degree of nervousness. At Digital UK, the body managing the transfer to digital, there are fears that not enough money will be made available to meet the needs of vulnerable consumers. At the BBC, there are concerns that if the amount of targeted help is high, other parts of its licence fee bid may end up being cut back in order to keep the overall settlement at a politically acceptable level. Nevertheless the results of a trial in Bolton, published last week, looking at what level and type of support the over-75s and other vulnerable people might actually need, offers some clues as to what will have to be done.
Although the headline of the DCMS press release said "98% of older people in Bolton Trial Happy with Digital TV", the detail was rather more perplexing. Four weeks after having their digital TV equipment installed, some 80% still had problems or couldn't make it work at all. After eight weeks that figure had dropped to 20%. Leaving aside how serious that could be for the 20%, the costs of offering support to the rest for up to eight weeks in addition to the costs of equipment and installation are potentially huge - and probably prohibitively so.
So what's the answer? A campaign to engage voluntary groups, family members and neighbours to help out for free. Like a kind of giant long-running 'subotnik' (Soviet free-labour day). Campaigns are being planned. No, really. Bring on the spirit of the Blitz!

Protests in French cities against plans to legalize gay marriage
By Gérard Bon
PARIS (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of people, joined by Catholic church leaders, marched in cities across France on Saturday to protest against government plans to legalize same-sex marriage.
Demonstrators, holding banners with slogans such as "don't touch civil marriage", "all born from the union of a man and a woman" and "one father + one mother for all children", took to the streets in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and other major towns.
The organization behind the protests, called "Demos for All" in imitation of the "marriage for all" call of gay-marriage campaigners, claims the Socialist government's reforms, which polls indicate have popular support, would threaten "major and dangerous upheaval".
The organizers said 200,000 people demonstrated in the French capital, compared with a police estimate of 70,000.
France's National Assembly is due to start examining the proposed law allowing same-sex marriage in January, with a vote expected in mid-2013. It would grant gay couples the right to adopt children but not to use assisted procreation methods.
Recent polls show the majority of French people support gay marriage, though not the right for homosexual couples to adopt.
France's top Catholic prelate, Paris Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois, earlier this month criticised the government for forging ahead with the plans at a time when the country faced urgent economic concerns.
Pope Benedict told French bishops visiting the Vatican on Saturday not to be "afraid" of spreading Christian teachings. Continued...

Top Performer
It`s been an amazing experience working with Lillee: Johnson
Last Updated: Tuesday, February 19, 2013, 21:19
Mitchell Johnson
Dennis Lillee
India vs Australia
Mitchell Starc
Peter Siddle
Chennai: Mitchell Johnson was out for seven months due to a toe fracture and now attributes his successful comeback into the international arena to none other than the legendary Dennis Lillee, who has worked with him once he was done with his rehabilitation.
"Obviously, it`s been an amazing experience working with Lillee. I had fair bit of time out of the game, seven months out of the game- and was able to work with him again at the MRF Pace academy as well as back home in our conditions," the 31-year-old left-arm quick said at the Open media session today.
"Lillee knows my game really well. I trust him very much. He has been around for me throughout my whole career. It`s always nice to hear good things from him. Also nice to go out there and perform and put in what he has asked me to do," he said.
The two Mitchells --- Johnson and Starc are left-arm pacers albeit with a difference.
"I can`t tell him (Starc) where to bowl," he quipped when someone asked whether they share notes between them.
"I always said that variations work. You need change the pace. But you obviously have a challenge thrown at you. It depends on the condition and the bounce on the wicket. Short-ball is a useful thing in these conditions. The ball doesn`t swing and we rely on reverse swing and those are things we have spoken about."
"It`s a four Test series so we would be sharing more things. And the length also varies a lot. Back home, we bowl a bit fuller. We have to access the conditions. Myself or Siddle would be standing in at mid-off and mid-on to help these guys regarding the length."
"Learning from experience is the key. Even though I had McGrath and Lee, I learnt on my own. You need to learn from experience. They have had some good time in the practice games so they would have learnt a thing or so."
Johnson is aiming to bring the ball back into the right-handers and has been working on that aspect.
"Things have changed. I want to bring the ball back into the right-handers. I have been working on it with Dennis. And short-ball is something you should bowl in all conditions. You get the ball to bounce knee high, then you are going get hit all over the park. So short ball definitely helps."
As a fast bowler, Johnson wants to follow the philosophy of Glenn McGrath to the `T`.
"As a fast bowler, I like to keep things simple. I don`t like to overcomplicate. Cricket is a simple game. McGrath used to tell us to keep it simple around the off-stump and bowl the occasional bouncer. So that`s how I look at it. And have the little bit of aggression being the fast bowler. Injury is the best thing that has happened to me as I matured a lot during the phase working with Dennis."
Critics have termed his injury prone but the fast bowler begs to differ.
"I am not injury prone. It`s just like every other bowler. It`s due to the amount of cricket, we play these days. Every young fast bowler like Hazlewood have seen it. We are always playing ODIs, Tests and T20s and its non-stop."
Asked about how he helps youngsters, he answered, "I don`t think it has changed. I always like to lead by example. The way I train, haven`t changed anything. Of course, the responsibility has grown and I try to help the guys as much I can and that's how the Australian team is."
"We want to be the No 1 team in all formats of the game. We would like to help each other and leading from the front. Training hard and I spoke to Nathan Lyon, he is a spin bowler, and he wanted have chat, just about the mental side of things.
"I guess the experience I shared with him really helped him. That's what is helping each other is about. That`s what McGrath and those guys did for me and it`s my turn to do those things."

Product Reference: 46187
Ensures safer driving
According to expert safety studies, the issue with window mounts is the glare from the sun on the object, which is particularly a problem when the object to be mounted is a portable satellite navigation unit or a tablet with satellite navigation capabilities. Such devices need their screens to be clearly visible during use in the vehicle so that the directions they are providing are clearly visible by the driver, which is not the case when the screens are being obscured by the glare of the sun.
There is also an unresolved final issue with window suction mounts that police forces are endeavouring to combat. The window suction mount often leaves visible rings on the windscreen, advertising to potential criminals that a valuable portable satellite navigation unit or other device may be present in the vehicle. Not so with this product as not only does it leave your driving view unrestricted, it also leaves it cleaner and hides the fact you may have something valuable in the car from would-be thieves.
No technical installation required
The beauty of this product is that you don't have to spend your valuable time (and patience) installing it. It couldn't be easier as all you need to do is just place the Pama CD Slot Mount Holder into your vehicle's CD slot and you're good to go. It will hold your tablet devices, large sat navs or anything similar with ease.
Adjustable jaws and joins
The Pama Universal CD Mount Holder features adjustable jaws, allowing you to securely hold tablets with dimensions between 11cm – 17cm (width). It also has a moveable joint, allowing you to adjust your device in the holder for the perfect viewing angle.
You can still play your CDs
Don't be frightened that it will hinder you playing your CDs or damage your CD player. It doesn't interfere with it at all.

Coming to a Close - By Carly Holloway
Release: June 11, 2013
Related Links
Carly Holloway is a Senior Women's Tennis student-athlete from Siena College. She is one of four MAAC student-athletes who have been chosen to attend the 2013 NCAA National Career in Sports Forum held in Indianapolis, Ind. This is a blog written by Carly about her experience at the Forum.
Today was the last full day of CFS, and for me this was my favorite day. The majority of the day consisted of perfecting our resume, going through mock interviews, and networking within the NCAA community. One of the reasons I found this day enjoyable was because I learned tips and techniques that will directly apply to my job search. For me I am unsure what career I want to pursue and since today had more general content, it was the most helpful. The highlight of the day for myself was attending the Q&A with the NCAA president Mark Emmert. I felt very lucky to be able to talk to the man who has such an esteemed role in collegiate athletics.
Looking back on my experience here in Indianapolis I feel extremely privileged have been able to attend CFS representing Siena College. It has been a trip that I will never forget. I am still in awe of the caliber of student athletes here in attendance; they are truly leaders on and off the field. These are the student athletes who will be the next generation of leaders for athletic departments, universities, and the NCAA.

Is there a benefit in taking a gap year?
September 21, 2013 , 8:26 AM by Caroline Liston
Well when I was at school there was no such thing as a gap year. If you deferred from university it was almost seen as a bad thing. The gap year seems to have become almost mandatory now but is it a good thing or a bad thing to go out into the world for a year before starting uni? I guess it depends on the reason why you are taking a gap year. Saturday Breakfast presenter Penny Monger had a very interesting chat with Professor Andrew Martin from Sydney University who has actaully done some research on this subject.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
HBOT is a medical treatment that uses pure
oxygen at two-to-three-times atmospheric
pressure to aid in healing wounds. It is
also used primarily to treat decompression
sickness (the bends), arterial gas embolism,
and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Back to Questions
During your treatment you will relax on a stretcher
in an acrylic see-through chamber where you
can watch TV or a movie, or you can sleep.
Most treatments last approximately two hours.
You may experience a crackling or fullness in
your ears, similar to that which you may feel
when you are in an airplane or in a car coming
down from a high elevation. This is usually
not painful and the hyperbaric staff will teach
you some techniques to clear your ears.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies according to the
condition for which you are being treated. Some
conditions require only one or two treatments, but
most require 30 to 40, even up to 60 sessions.
Normally the treatments are administered
daily, Monday through Friday.
Your particular treatment course will be
determined by the hyperbaric staff and will be
discussed with you during your initial evaluation.
Are there any side effects?
Patients usually don't experience any
discomfort during their treatment.
In rare instances, patients report a change
in their vision, whereby their near vision
improved and far vision worsened. If this
occurs please do not change your eyewear
prescription as these effects are temporary.
As with any medical treatments or procedures
there are risks associated with HBOT, but
these are rare and will be discussed with
you during your initial evaluation.
Is HBOT covered by insurance?
Medicare will cover most of the Undersea
Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) -approved
indications for HBOT and most private
insurance companies will follow Medicare
rules. We will review your insurance plan
before you start therapy and inform you
of your estimated out-of-pocket costs.
If you have any questions please do not
hesitate to contact us at 860-714-3010.
We will be available from 8 AM to 4
PM, Monday through Friday, to answer
any questions you may have.

Shower Enclosures, also known as shower cubicles are a key component of the modern bathroom. Whilst many of the ladies prefer a long hot soak in a bath, must men prefer a powerful shower. Whether it's jumping under the water for a quick wash in the morning or enjoying the hot streams after a long stressful day. But unless you're opting for an over the bath shower, you're going to need a decent shower enclosure. Great aesthetics and practicality combine to create the ideal showering experience, and with a huge variety of sizes and styles available at Plumbworld they'll be something that will suit every taste.

All you need for a recessed shower enclosure is a door. It's the perfect option for when you have an alcove in the bathroom. It uses the existing walls to create the shower, rather than taking up extra space elsewhere in the bathroom. You could always construct your own alcove if you really want a recessed enclosure, although you'll have to weigh up the cost and time to do that too. Remember that there are adjustable shower doors available so you can get that perfect fit into your alcove.
The quadrant shower enclosure is the most popular option for UK homes, and that's largely because UK bathrooms on average tend to be rather small. Where space is at a premium the quadrant enclosure is a great choice, slotting neatly into a corner and ensuring that you can still own a shower even if space is tight.
Similar to the quadrant but with one wall longer than the other. An offset quadrant is ideal when you want a larger shower area but still want to have your shower located in a corner. Remember that you need to choose left or right-hand options when buying an offset quadrant enclosure. This is something that confuses a lot of people, but is actually quite simple. The hand refers to which side of the shorter length when you stand in front of it. (i.e. the picture above is a left handed off set quadrant)
This is a popular alternative to the Quadrant enclosure for the corner of the bathroom. It consists of a door (Exactly the same as for the recessed enclosure) but comes with a side panel to make two glass sides. The remaining two sides are made up of the bathroom walls, which can be tiled or covered with shower panels. These come in much smaller sizes that quadrants, as small as 700mm x 700mm which makes them a good choice for smaller spaces. However be careful when choosing the door for a small space. Bifold or sliding doors don't open outwards, but pivot or hinged doors will need additional clearance space in the bathroom in order to open.
If you want to opt for something that's going to give your bathroom that extra special something than a walk-in shower is the ultimate statement. They come in a variety of shapes – you can experiment with magnificent curved screens instead of just sticking with straight – but are mostly made up of two separate panels and a shower tray (unless you're going installing a wet room). They have no moving parts which is great for maintenance and cleaning, but they do generally require quite a lot of space as the showering area needs to be large enough for the screen to prevent water splashing into the bathroom, even with a gap big enough for a person to walk through!
This is the same type of door opening mechanism as most internal and external doors in the home. It is fixed to the wall with two or more hinges and swings open, rotatating on the hinges. A popular choice but since they open outwards with the full width of the door make sure that you have enough space available.
Often confused with the hinged shower door, they can look very similar. The difference is that a pivot shower door does not have the hinges fixed to the wall. It has hinges at the top and bottom of the door. This means that when opened part of the shower door rotates inwards across the tray and part of it out into the bathroom. This means that pivot doors require less clearance space than hinged doors of the same width. Pivot doors can be right, left or centre pivoted. Centre pivoted require the least clearance space because only half the width of the shower door will protrude into the room when they are open. They can look more impressive than a hinged door.
If you don't want to sacrifice any external or internal space then a sliding shower door is your best bet. The sliding shower door is usually reserved for larger shower enclosures, and the smooth sliding action makes it a breeze to open and close at will. Sliding doors come in sizes up to 1600mm long, so if you have a lot of space and want a really large enclosure, then a sliding door is the one to go for.
Bifold shower doors open into the showering area with a folding action. Because the door folds there is no chance of the door encroaching into your external bathroom space, plus they retain ease of access thanks to a smooth and quick opening manoeuvre. A great choice for small showering areas where space is at a premium.
Corner entry doors are a pair of sliding doors, similar to those found on most quadrant enclosures, but straight instead of curved. A less popular choice but looks stunning in the right setting.
Another thing to consider when selecting your shower enclosure is the type of frame.
This is the most common style and has an aluminium frame around all the glass components. It has a solid look and has always been a favourite choice. This is the style most often used with thinner glass widths. 4mm – 6mm.
This is a "half-way house" style. The glass has some frames but not on the top and often not on the side which opens. This is a more minimalistic style that works very well in very contemporary bathroom designs. Usually found in thicker glass widths 6mm – 8mm
These have no frames at all. This is the most modern look and is usually only found on the most expensive shower enclosures with very thick glass 8mm – 10mm+. It is restricted to hinged doors as all other door types require some form of mechanism that needs a frame.
Shower enclosure glass must be toughened safety glass, manufactured to British Standard 6206 Class A with a CE stamp. It comes in a variety of thicknesses from 3mm to over 10mm.
Shower enclosure glass is designed to take a substantial impact
This video shows shower enclosure glass being tested with a 50kg weight
But in the event that it is broken it will break into lots of tiny pieces rather than dangerous razor edged shards!
As a general rule glass of 3mm or below should be avoided as this is the extreme cheap end of the market and standards of manufacturer and quality control can be mixed.
4mm is the standard glass width and is suitable for all applications. Perfect for ensuite shower rooms, guest bathrooms and rental properties, or if budget is tight and you want the best value for money.
6mm is a more luxurious choice giving the doors a heavier more solid feel, ideal for a main family bathroom or master bedroom ensuite.
8mm+ is the height of luxury and you should expect to pay quite a premium for this type of enclosure. Not just because the glass is thicker, but because the increased weight requires stronger hinges, rollers or other opening mechanisms.
However before getting too hung up on glass thickness just remember we are talking about a couple of millimetres which is hardly noticeable to the eye without a ruler!
The other dimension to consider with glass is patterned or plain.
About 95% of all shower enclosures sold today have plain glass. However it is possible to get other options:
An ideal choice if you are very shy!
Frosted glass has a pattern designed to hide the person in the shower completely from external view
Almost anything is possible with glass if you have the budget and there are specialist glass suppliers who can create almost any pattern or design that you might wish for in a custom enclosure.
Obviously the most important thing is to match the size of tray to the enclosure you are fitting. You can't put a 900mm quadrant shower on a square 760mm tray!
However, that should go without saying and the only two decisions that you really have to make are the material that the tray is made of and the style of the tray which is to a large extent determined by the type of floor in your bathroom.
Slimline of Adjustable Height ?
These are very narrow and look very modern.
They are suitable for bathrooms where it is easy to fix the plumbing beneath the floor. For example wooden floorboards. The waste and plumbing pipes for a shower enclosure are quite big and it is only by hiding them under the floor that such a low profile shower tray can be used.
If you have shower panel with body jets or a very powerful pumped shower, a slimline tray may not be able to cope with the volume of water and can overflow. If you have this sort of shower you may be better off with a deeper adjustable height tray.
Solid stone shower trays are available from specialist suppliers but they are extremely heavy and difficult to fit. They are also prone to chipping or cracking if your home has even the tiniest movement. We don't sell solid stone trays.
Acylic Stone Resin shower trays are made from a mixture of stone particles and a resin adhesive which is set in a mould. A gel coating is then applied to give the tray its smooth finish. They are usually built over an acrylic base. They are very strong and long lasting, but nowhere near as heavy as a solid stone tray.
Acrylic shower tray technology has advanced a huge amount over the last few years. If you think of "flimsy" or "bendy" when you hear the word acrylic, then think again! The Coram Coratech tray combines Acrylic with stone resin and not only 50% lighter than even a traditional stone resin tray it is highly scratch resistant and has a 10 year manufacturer's guarantee.
Mira Flight Trays also Includes BioCote® to reduce bacteria and mould growth by up to 99.9%
Pure Acrylic Trays are at the cheap end of the market and can be quite flimsy and prone to discoloration. Suitable for a rental property or student let, but probably not the first choice for a family bathroom or the ensuite to the master bedroom.

Roche Bobois opens Palm Beach showroom
May 3, 2013,
Julien Bigan, Roche Bobois general manager for the Southeast U.S., said the site, located at 136 U.S. Highway One in North Palm Beach, totals 20,000 square feet. This encompasses the building and a parking lot in front solely for the use of Roche Bobois customers and employees.
"Everyone, including the Village Council, has been very supportive of the luxury brand Roche Bobois coming to North Palm Beach, so we already feel at home," Bigan said. "The showroom will be south of the intersection of Northlake Boulevard and U.S. Highway One, with great visibility. One of the spectacular exterior features will be a double façade made of Alucobond material brought directly from Germany by ThyssenKrupp. This will create a double-height effect on the front and set us apart from the neighboring structures."
There are 240 Roche Bobois retail showrooms in 40 countries. Twenty-four of the 240 locations are in the United States.

If you've ever worked with wallboard joint compound, spackle or other similar products, you know how these materials tend to dry out between jobs leaving a lumpy mess that's practically useless. Ron shares a simple solution to prevent this annoying problem.
Use a putty knife to level the top of the material inside the container and then add a little bit of water.
Next, place a piece of plastic wrap on top. The plastic wrap will keep the joint compound from drying out, ensuring that it's fresh and ready for the next job.

Rhode Island's motto is "Hope".
Wht does it mean?
In other words why was that motto chosen, why is it important to Rhode Island?
You really should try Google first!!
I did, it didnt' give me anything about the MEANING of the motto.
It only told me what the motto was, which I already knew.
Think about Anne Hutchinson, who fled from Massachussets because she was accused of witchcraft. She then settled in Rhode Island, which was known for its tolerance. What did Rhode Island mean to her? This is just one example. Google famous Rhode Islanders, and you'll find stories of immigrants who found hope in Rhode Island, people who escaped to Rhode Island from other colonies, etc. This is the kind of question that doesn't just have one answer. You can think about the info about the lives of Rhode Islanders into a reason for hope. Remember to always think of each question through several different ways!
~Courtney AKA Yentrouc
Wow! Thanks! That really helped... a lot!
(That may sound sarcatic, but I really do mean it!)
Oh, and I really want to use the example of Anne Hutchinson in my brochure that I have to make for class.
But, I didn't want to do that without your premission, first.
So, may I use your example in my project?

I'm on a Verizon 4s on 5.0.1 and I was playing with SBSettings after jailbreaking and now I lost service! Please help. The phone worked fine all day but tonight when I got home I was messing with SBSettings and it resprung and lost service. Please help.
To those raving about SBSettings -
Move on! It's useless now! With your must have tweaks -IntelliscreenX an Springtomize2. SBSettings does nothing extra. It's big, clumsy and cluttered. IntelliscreenX toggles are much easier to sort and to hide and show. Springtomize let's you hide the apps much better and see your mobile substrate files.
If you have SBSettings - MOVE ON!
Veency is my must have app. SBSettings works great for me. Thanks for the refresher. Been doing the jailbreak since 2.2.
Mail Enhancer is a must have. I finally can have 2 separate signatures for work and personal like a normal phone lol
I think Weather Icon is an important tweak that was left out. It allows you to display the temperature in the status bar as well as on the app icon for the actual Weather app.
guys someone help me please. I restored my iphone 4 4.3.3 to 5.0.1 everything went fine at the end when my phone restarted it now it says that sim not valid what should i do/ please help me. Thanks
Anyone know where to get a backround enabler jailbreak app that will work for iPhone 4s?
im sure im the only one that will agree but i still like the look and feel of UI settings better then SB setting
Still waiting for windows. Good refresher. Need a good list of repos to add. Used to like scroll 2 to add simple scroll bar right side. And forget App to scale icon size and rows. Video Ringtones. Think 4s can handle it. Here in UK need SIRI places. Waiting Apple.
If you find my Postings useful or interesting. Press the .... Thanks Button.

Absinthe is out for Windows! V0.2!
quality post - definitely some apps there that needs to be added to my iPhone
How does springtomize hide apps "better"? They're either hidden or not!
Plus, you left out that sbsettings is free! Both the ones you listed are commercial (and isx is quite expensive).
So, on the contrary, moving on for the sake of moving on is pointless (and expensive in this case).
Its so sweet to have sbsettings back...

Has anybody had any issues with Iphone 4s freezing after ending a call screen freezes can't do nothing unless you power down and turn phone back on.
I am using some of them. Like to try all of them.
What is the twitter notification center widget that you have in the screenshot in the SB Settings write up? I've been looking all over for one, and I really like the look of it.
Thanks in advance!
SBSettings it much lighter, has some functionality that intelliscreenx doesn't, it's good for ppl who don't need all the other features that Intelliscreenx offers and simply needs toggles, it's more customizeable (in terms of it's toggles) and it's free. All those points make KraXik's statement ignorant.
The one thing I've found is that the RemoveBG toggle does not work in sbsettings -- it crashes ios5... but I'm sure they'll release a fix for that soon enough. For now I'm using WeeKillBackground, but for the sake of argument, intelliscreenx doesn't have a background process killer either.

Blower motor in AC unit not coming on
1 Attachment(s)
I have a Trane XE 80 that has decided to stop blowing cool air. The outdoor component seems to be working properly (ie. the fan motor starts up when I turn AC on at the thermostat), but the blower motor inside the house does not turn on. I opened up the Trane and found that the circuit board controlling things is an Intell-Ignition (part no. CNT03076). The red LED on the circuit board steadily blinks, which (I think) is as indication that it is operating properly...or at least it thinks it is operating properly. I removed the blower motor connections from the board and connected 120VAC directly to the motor and it ran just fine, so I think the blower motor is fine. So I am guessing the thermostat could be the problem. Does anybody have any ideas on how I could troubleshoot further before just replacing the thermostat? Does anyone know what the voltages should be on the inputs to the ignition controller for the various thermostat settings?
How old is your unit? Have you done any work on it recently or did the motor just stop working all of sudden?
I would replace the capacitor first (it's only 8 bucks or so). Just make sure you do not accidentally discharge it by touching both terminals.
I replaced the capacitor and blower motor on my XL80 last year and its been working great. If you want to read the actual steps I used, just google "how-to-replace-a-trane-blower-motor" and you will see my blog post.
Look for the capacitor which is going to be attached somewhere near the motor such as on the outside of the blower housing. It'll have two wires to it coming from the motor.
Be careful as IF it is good it will be holding a charge. Tell tale signs that it's bad is the top is rounded or it's leaking an oily/jelly-ish residue. Other than that you'd need a meter that tests microfarads (MFD/UF) to test that cap. It's only an approximate $10-$15 part if that. You can simply remove that cap (again, careful to not touch the metal but simply pull the wires off) and take it with you to Grainger where they sell to the public. When you re-wire the new one in it does not matter which wire goes to which side of the capacitor.
Now if you have a meter than we can test the control board to see if it's giving 120 volts to the motor.

I pulled the circuit board last night. It may to tough to see in the photos, but it looks like the smoke got let out of one of the relays. The PCB may also have been damaged along the way...not sure yet. I'm going to try just replacing that relay (JTN1AS-PA-F-DC24V), which is like a $3 part.
Let us know if it fixes it please.
Turns out the relay was fine. The trace on the PCB was burnt. I jumped the burnt section with a small piece of copper, put the whole board back in, and everything works! Now I have to figure out a permanent fix. Not sure if I can repair the trace on the PCB or if I will have to buy a whole new board for $150. The jumper is kind of a rig job and certainly not safe for unattended use.
Just to update...I was able to permanently repair the PCB. Right around the time I finished, some beautiful autumn weather rolled in, and there was really no need to run the AC. This past week the heat and humidity came back enough to run the AC during the afternoons. It has been running fine without issue!

It is no longer made as the FDA took it off the market in the 1980s, but may be special formulated at various compounding pharmacies. It was sold for sprains and strains of muscles, tendons, and ligaments in horses. It was made of 2% iodine in Almond oil.
Dr. Borthwick writes about using a similar injection for a bad stifle:
"First, I palpate the three patellar ligaments: the medial, the middle and the lateral patellar ligaments. I inject 5cc at the site where these ligaments meet over the tibeal tuberosity. I then inject 5cc at each of the three sites where the ligaments originate from the patella. The 15cc (from each of the three injections sites) over the patella are concentrated at the site of origin but some is infiltrated over the surfaces of the patella. I then infiltrate 5cc at the site of the lateral femoro-tibial ligament over the lateral femoral condyle. The remaining 20cc I use to infiltrate the muscle mass around the stifle. I use 4cc per site in five sites starting a few inches above the point of the stifle and make an arc over the lateral side and above the stifle joint. I then take another 50cc vial and repeat this procedure on the other leg. Following the injection, the horse should then be worked. This would be a four or five mile jog for a standard-bred or even a training mile. A riding horse should be saddled and ridden for 25-30 minutes with intermittent walk and trot, depending on the horse's condition."

To Each Her Own
So what if a lady wants a little more excitement from her flatware. It's none of your business.
Danielle ducked into Ruttles on her way home from work. One of her friends was getting married, and she needed a wedding gift. She printed off the registry at the front of the store and headed for the flatware aisle. Just as she turned the corner, she noticed Craig standing there. She tried to turn around before he saw her, but it was too late.
"Danielle! Hey!" said Craig a little too enthusiastically. He must have realized it, because his next sentence was considerably more subdued. "So … how are you?"
"I'm fine, Craig," she said curtly without meeting his gaze. She just wanted to find the Wallace 45-Piece Flatware Set as fast as possible so she could get out of there.
"Flatware, huh? What kind you thinking of getting?" he asked.
"It's for a friend. She wants the Wallace," she said.
"Well there it is. 18/10 stainless steel. Dishwasher safe. Nice."
"Yep," said Danielle as she matched up the SKU on the shelf with the one of the registry.
"Looks like it also comes with a tablespoon, sugar spoon, butter serving knife and a pierced tablespoon. Oooh! And a cold meat fork. Wonder if you can use it on hot meat, too?" Craig cringed at that last sentence. He didn't mean it to, but it came across a little creepy.
"I'm sure it's fine," said Danielle, rolling her eyes and grabbing the Continental Hammered set from the shelf.
"Oh, actually," Craig said, grabbing the flatware out of Danielle's hands and handing her the Continental Classic instead. "I'm sure she actually wanted this one."
"Why would you assume that?" said Danielle, finally turning to face him.
"Polished finished? Classic. Dependable. It'll still be around years from now."
"Not everyone likes things so … perfect," Danielle said while eying Craig up and down.
Craig pretended not to notice. "Well, surely she doesn't want THAT set. They're all dinged up."
"And what's wrong with a little imperfection, Craig?"
"I guess nothing …" he said. Danielle looked triumphant. "But she's totally gonna be sick of them in a year or so."
She frowned. "You don't know that, Craig. You don't know anything about her! Maybe she doesn't like things that are so … BORING!"
"Well then by all means, get her the Hammered set. Because if there's anyone who knows about IGNORANT JERKS WHO TREAT YOU BAD, it's you!"
Danielle slapped Craig across the face so hard it left a red handprint.

919 F2d 144 Cello-Whitney v. E Curry
919 F.2d 144
Unpublished Disposition
NOTICE: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 provides that dispositions other than opinions or orders designated for publication are not precedential and should not be cited except when relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel.
James CELLO-WHITNEY, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant,
Richard E. CURRY, et al., Defendants-Appellees.
No. 89-35801.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted Nov. 27, 1990.*
Decided Nov. 29, 1990.
Before WALLACE, DAVID R. THOMPSON and TROTT, Circuit Judges.
James Cello-Whitney, Jr., a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's order (1) dismissing two defendants from this 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 action for failure to effect proper service of process, and (2) imposing sanctions under Fed.R.Civ.P. 11 for filing pleadings in bad faith and engaging in a persistent pattern of abusive litigation activity. We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291, this court has jurisdiction over appeals from final orders of the district court. Absent certification under Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b), the dismissal of some parties where the action is not ended as to other parties does not constitute a final appealable order. Unioil, Inc. v. E.F. Hutton & Co., 809 F.2d 548, 554 (9th Cir.1986), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 822 (1987); Frank Briscoe Co. v. Morrison-Knudsen Co., 776 F.2d 1414, 1416 (9th Cir.1985). Here, the district court dismissed the Arizona defendants, Kohl and Lewis, two of the ten defendants in the action. Certification under Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b) was neither sought by Cello-Whitney nor granted by the district court. Therefore, because the action has not ended as to the eight Washington defendants, the order dismissing Kohl and Lewis is not a final appealable order.
Moreover, sanction orders are generally deemed interlocutory and cannot be appealed by parties until a final judgment has been rendered in the action. Algeran, Inc. v. Advance Ross Corp., 759 F.2d 1421, 1425 (9th Cir.1985); Kordich v. Marine Clerks Ass'n, 715 F.2d 1392, 1393 (9th Cir.1983); Johnny Pflocks, Inc. v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., 634 F.2d 1215, 1216 (9th Cir.1980). Therefore, the district court's order imposing sanctions on Cello-Whitney pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 11 is not a final appealable order.1
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for disposition without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3
Because the sanction order is reviewable on appeal from a final judgment, it is not appealable now under the collateral order doctrine. See Coopers & Lybrand v. Livesay, 437 U.S. 463, 468 (1978)
