Enfield, New Hampshire, Science Publishers, Inc. p. 9-18. Interpretive Summary: Sugarbeet is a biennial plant, requiring two years to complete its life cycle. The first growing season, sugarbeet grows as a near-rosette plant and develops a large, fleshy taproot that provides the food reserve for the second year¿s growth. The second year, after exposure to cold temperatures from overwintering and long days during the second year of growth, sugarbeet plants develop a stem and flower. The anatomy and development of all major organs of sugarbeet during its two-year life cycle are described. Major physiological events including seed germination, the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth, flowering and fertilization are also described.
Technical Abstract: The anatomy of the major organs of sugarbeet and the physiology of the major events in the two-year life cycle of sugarbeet are reviewed. Gross morphology of the root and shoot of sugarbeet during vegetative and reproductive growth is described. Root, leaf, flower and seed anatomy and development are also described. The physiological events of seed germination, the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth, flowering, fertilization, and self-incompatibility are reviewed, and the environmental factors that affect these events are discussed.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Many people contribute to Dalmatian Rescue, and we are always looking for volunteers to help with all aspects of rescue. If you are interested in volunteering for Rescue activities, please contact us via email, firstname.lastname@example.com or Phone: (303) 281-8963
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

You know those energy savings bulbs (pictured below) that's only 25W and as bright as 75W or something like that?
They can't really power up/charge an Ecodrive watch can they? I haven't been wearing my EcoDrive lately so it's been sitting in a display box with see-through glass top, and yesterday it stopped.
I thought the watch was broken, but to make sure, I just put in under a desklamp for 45min or so and then it started to work again.
The watchbox is sitting in a bedroom so obviously it is exposed to light at least 6-8 hours a day. So that means these bulbs are not powerful enough to charge the Ecodrive? (if it charges at all)
What do you guys think ? Anyone experienced this before?

from: Female Pirates - Women Who Took to the High Seas
As referents to persons, places, or things, nouns give us rich pictures. In the case of pirate, we see the Jolly Roger, black boots, and one-armed, one-eyed scallywags taking a swig off a bottle of rum before belching out, "Yo ho ho!" and launching into an R-rated sea chanty.
But the term female pirate does not fit into this comically fun stereotype. Female pirates, from the 3rd century BC to Elizabethan England, roamed the seas as rulers, marauders, and entrepreneurs. Although hailing and sailing from different cultures, the Jane Sparrows featured below made a different kind of splash into the annals of history.

However, the owner of this ship was a friend of Queen Elizabeth who then had Lady Mary arrested and brought to trial at the Launceston assizes. Some sources say she was sentenced to death and then pardoned by the Queen but this is due to confusion with another family member. According to sources, her family either bribed the jurors and she was acquitted or Queen Elizabeth arranged a short jail sentence. Whatever transpired, she gave up pirating and took up fencing stolen goods until she died several years later. The Killigrews of Falmouth

Lady Elizabeth led an attack on the ship and then fenced the proceeds. Lady Elizabeth was later arrested and sentenced to death but pardoned. Her husband Sir John was ordered by the Privy Council to restore the vessel and goods to their owners but went into hiding along with the ship which resulted in several warrants for his arrest being issued for acts of piracy committed over the next eight years.Sea Borne Raiders of Cornwall It is possible that Lady Elizabeth did not actually board the vessel herself, so it might be incorrect to describe her as a pirate.

Davian Gagne, an experienced social worker and outreach director, has been named the gender violence prevention and education coordinator for the University of Colorado at Boulder, a new five-year position that was created as part of the Lisa Simpson lawsuit settlement.
Gagne, who has worked with the Moving to End Sexual Assault program in Boulder and the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment, began her appointment in July.
"We created a position to work on gender violence prevention and education," said Mary Friedrichs, director of CU-Boulder's Office of Victim Assistance. "This is a new direction for the office, which has always been about response. Davian Gagne will be working to help change the climate that produces things like gender violence."
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person on the basis of gender, gender expression or sex, according to Gagne. While males and females are subject to it, women and girls are the main victims. Gender-based violence can include many things such as sexual harassment, sexual exploitation and discrimination based on gender.
"This is a great opportunity for CU to be a leader in terms of taking the initiative and addressing gender violence on campus," Gagne said. "CU can be a model for other universities and colleges in terms of addressing gender violence and being a leader."
Gagne's approach is to empower the whole community to work toward a healthier environment. She believes that prevention work needs to involve consistent and continuous education.
She is putting together a student advisory board and encourages students who would like to be involved in gender violence prevention work and education to contact her.
Gagne said she is excited to come up with creative ways to engage the whole CU community and thinks the program is uniquely situated to do so.
"The program is unique because it is not housed within a women's center or another program, it is separate and autonomous," she said.
Gagne has extensive experience in education and prevention efforts dealing with gender violence. While working with the Moving to End Sexual Assault program she trained high school students to be prevention educators and give presentations to their peers about gender violence and heterosexism.
She has a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in social work from the University of Denver.
The Office of Victim Assistance provides free, confidential services to students, staff and faculty members who have gone through a life-changing incident. In addition the office provides guidance to concerned friends of victims.
"If people want to come and talk about their situation, and explore how they can best deal with it, we are an important resource," Friedrichs said.
More information on the CU-Boulder Office of Victim Assistance is available at www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/victimassistance/.
To contact Gagne call 303-492-5951 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

This weeks interviews with Chow.com
With Marisa and Josie.
Learn more about both ladies
and what happen on Top Chef.
With Marisa and Josie.
Learn more about both ladies
and what happen on Top Chef.
These interviews were interesting but really do not address the issue of this past week and if one reads Tom's blog about their course and what it should have been, they did it wrong from the start. Ilan mentions looking for protein first, as does Tom, and according to Ilan, there was plenty of choice protein available to them. I guess I just never got over the Marissa and Otto lychee situation and had things gone differently, she would have been out then. If that had happened, we might be looking at a very different situation for Josie at this time.
In case anyone's missed them, the interviews over at Chow.com are not to be missed.
As for who should have gone, I digress. I'm too far gone in the competition. It's about this time I become a marshmellow, adore them all, and hate to see any of them go.
Love Chow.com. Oh, and I am of a strong mind that Marisa's performance has been poor from the start. It's unfair to auf two when only one chef won.
Josie wasn't exactly robbed, as she agreed to create that awful pepto bismol drink, but she was placed in an unfortunate situation.

I made this for christmas dinner this year instead of traditional pumpkin pie! We had a smaller dinner on christmas, and the larger italian seafood feast on christmas eve. I made tiramisu on christmas eve, and then it was all adults for christmas so I thought a more grown up version of the dessert would be good. It's a really simple recipe and you can make it the day before, so it requires no day-of prep!
I used the same recipe I made for the cheesecake I made for mother's day, but revised it for pumpkin pie flavor!
Pumpkin Cheesecake
– makes 16 servings –
For the crust
- 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake:
- 3 8-ounce boxes cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/3 cups sour cream or heavy cream, or a combination of the two
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice ( as much or little as you like) and I always add extra nutmeg for spice!
To make the crust:
1. Butter a 9-inch springform pan—choose one that has sides that are 2 3/4 inches high (if the sides are lower, you will have cheesecake batter leftover)—and wrap the bottom of the pan in a double layer of aluminum foil; put the pan on a baking sheet.
2. Stir the crumbs and sugar together in a medium bowl. Pour over the melted butter and stir until all of the dry ingredients are uniformly moist. (I do this with my fingers.) Turn the ingredients into the buttered springform pan and use your fingers to pat an even layer of crumbs along the bottom of the pan and about halfway up the sides. Don't worry if the sides are not perfectly even or if the crumbs reach above or below the midway mark on the sides—this doesn't have to be a precision job. Put the pan in the freezer while you preheat the oven.
3. Center a rack in the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F and place the springform on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Set the crust aside to cool on a rack while you make the cheesecake.
4. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
To make the cheesecake:
1. Put a kettle of water on to boil.
2. Working in a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese at medium speed until it is soft and lives up to the creamy part of its name, about 4 minutes. With the mixer running, add the sugar and continue to beat another 4 minutes or so, until the cream cheese is light. Beat in the vanilla. Add the eggs one by one, beating for a full minute after each addition—you want a well-aerated batter. Reduce the mixer speed to low and stir in the sour cream and/or heavy cream. Add the pumpkin puree and spices, and continue to stir until well incorporated. You want the batter to look silky smooth, mix and mix and mix! The lumps will not disappear when you bake it. So make sure it's smoooooooth.
3. Put the foil-wrapped springform pan in the roaster pan.
4. Give the batter a few stirs with a rubber spatula, just to make sure that nothing has been left unmixed at the bottom of the bowl, and scrape the batter into the springform pan. The batter will reach the brim of the pan. (If you have a pan with lower sides and have leftover batter, you can bake the batter in a buttered ramekin or small soufflé mold.) Put the roasting pan in the oven and pour enough boiling water into the roaster to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
5. Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, at which point the top will be browned (and perhaps cracked) and may have risen just a little above the rim of the pan. Turn off the oven's heat and prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon. Allow the cheesecake to luxuriate in its water bath for another hour.
6. After 1 hour, carefully pull the setup out of the oven, lift the springform pan out of the roaster—be careful, there may be some hot water in the aluminum foil—remove the foil. Let the cheesecake come to room temperature on a cooling rack. ( I was a little hasty and placed it in the fridge after about an hour with a small piece or saran wrap, and I noticed condensation forming, so instead I placed a piece of paper towel on top of the pan so as to not touching the cake, so nothing would drip onto the cheesecake)
7. When the cake is cool, cover the top lightly and chill the cake for at least 4 hours, although overnight would be better.
Serving: Remove the sides of the springform pan—I use a hairdryer to do this (use the dryer to warm the sides of the pan and ever so slightly melt the edges of the cake)—and set the cake, still on the pan's base, on a serving platter. The easiest way to cut cheesecake is to use a long, thin knife that has been run under hot water and lightly wiped. Keep warming the knife as you cut slices of the cake.
Storing: Wrapped well, the cake will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or for up to 2 months in the freezer. It's best to defrost the still-wrapped cheesecake overnight in the refrigerator.

Forest thinning starts; wood permits for sale
May 16, 2014
For more information
South Shore office: 530-543-2694
North Shore office: 775-831-0914
Thinning of trees for fuels reduction and forest health started this week on U.S. Forest Service land near South Tahoe High School and the Sand Pit off-highway vehicle area.
The Forest Service has closed the areas in units 19 and 117 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily through October 14 for public safety due to heavy equipment operations and falling trees.
Project work will not occur on Memorial Day weekend. Thinning at the Sand Pit is expected to be completed by the end of May or early June, when the Sand Pit will be reopened. The closure will remain in effect in other areas.
Hazards may be present even when operations have finished for the day and the closure is not in effect, the Forest Service cautions. People disregarding the closure may be cited.
The forest thinning is part of a South Shore Fuels Reductions and Healthy Forest Restoration Project that will treat approximately 10,000 acres between Cascade Lake and Stateline, Nev.
The Forest Service will start selling fuel wood permits at the South Shore office starting Monday and at the North Shore office starting Wednesday.
Permits cost $20 per cord, with a two-cord minimum purchase and a limit of 10 cords per household.
Permits come with specific conditions. Maps to designated cutting areas are provided and must be in the permit holder's possession along with the permit.
Permits are for collection of "down-dead" wood up to a 30-inch maximum diameter in designated areas in the Lake Tahoe Basin. "Down-dead" means the tree is down on the ground and dead, not dead and standing. Cutting any standing tree whether dead or green is not allowed.
The last day to purchase a permit is Friday, Nov. 14 and the last day to cut wood is Sunday, Nov. 16.
The South Shore office is at 35 College Drive in South Lake Tahoe and is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The North Shore office is at 855 Alder Avenue in Incline Village and is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday.

Until midnight on December 31, 2014, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) will provide reinstatement relief for drivers who had an effective no-insurance suspension prior to July 1, 2013. Their no-insurance reinstatement fees will be reduced 50 percent.
I have heard of the BMV's Reinstatement Relief Program, how do I know if I am eligible for relief?
You may log into your myBMV.com account 24 hours a day and review any or all of the reinstatement fees that are eligible for relief. You will also receive a Notice of Reinstatement Fee Relief mailed to your address on file with the BMV.
When will I receive my Notice of Reinstatement Fee Relief?
The BMV will be mailing the notices in the next few weeks. However, you can find out how much you can save immediately by logging into your myBMV.com account. See "How do I pay my reinstatement fees?" below for directions on how to create or login to your myBMV.com account.
Why are my fees discounted?
The Indiana legislature has authorized the BMV to provide temporary reinstatement fee relief to help drivers that have experienced long-term problems with providing payments, but want to get their driving privileges reinstated. This will reduce the BMV's delinquency rolls and give people the opportunity to get legal and back on the road.
Who is included in the reinstatement relief population?
Only drivers that have an expired no-insurance suspension(s) with an effective date prior to July 1, 2013 are provided relief.
Why are fees after July 1, 2013 not included in the Reinstatement Relief Program?
The purpose of this program is to reduce the number of drivers on our delinquency rolls and give people an opportunity to get legal and back on the road. We hope this program encourages suspended drivers to take an important step toward earning back their driving privileges.
Can I take my reinstatement fee payment into my local branch?
No, the BMV's branches are not equipped to handle reinstatement fee payments. Payments must be made online with your myBMV.com account, through the BMV's automated payment hotline, or by mail.
How do I pay my reinstatement fees?
You may pay using an electronic check, Visa/MasterCard debit or credit card online.
Will I be required to pay all reinstatement fees?
Payment in full is required if you are paying by phone or by mail. If you wish to pay individual fees, instead of all your reinstatement fees, then you must do so using your myBMV.com account.
Will I be immediately reinstated after making a payment?
Customers who participate in the BMV's Reinstatement Relief Program may be required to complete other tasks before earning their driving privileges, such as providing proof of insurance, completing a driver safety program, paying court fees, passing a driver's license written knowledge exam, or a driving skills exam or vision screening.
Please review your Official Driver Record (ODR) and validate that you have no additional outstanding requirements. You can check on your ODR 24 hours a day by logging into or creating a myBMV.com account and selecting "Purchase and print your Official Driver Record." You may view your driver record for free by selecting "View Your Driver Record" from the left hand navigation, or you may purchase your ODR for $4.00.
Will I be able to get an extension on the Reinstatement Relief Program?
No, the program ends at midnight on December 31, 2014.
What if I paid my reinstatement fees and later provided proof of insurance that covered me for the incident?
You may apply for a refund by writing the BMV and requesting a refund. Alternatively, you may also request that those fees be applied to any other reinstatement fees you owe. This will help get you reinstated, but the BMV cannot apply partial payments; therefore, any overpayments will still be refunded to your address on record with the BMV.
What if I do not live in Indiana?
If you are not a resident of Indiana, but are eligible for the Reinstatement Relief Program, you will be sent a notice to your last known Indiana address. If you do not receive mail from that address, you will be able to mail in a coupon with your payment. If you have your Indiana driver's license number or identification card number; or, you have the notice with the CUID number on it, you can also visit myBMV.com and follow the directions above for payments.
What if I have an identification card, but not a driver's license?
If you do not know your driver's license number, and you have an identification card, your identification card number is the same as your driver's license number.You may also use your CUID and last four of your SSN to create a myBMV.com account.
What if I do not have a driver's license or identification card?
Alternatively, you may review a reinstatement requirement notice that the BMV has sent you and locate your Telephone Access Code. You will need this to make a payment using the BMV's automated payment hotline. See, "How do I pay my reinstatement fees?" for further instruction.
I paid my reinstatement fees prior to the launch of the Reinstatement Relief Program, can I get a refund on my (over)payment?
No, reinstatement fees are set by Indiana law. The reinstatement relief that the BMV is providing is a limited time offer that expires at midnight on December 31, 2014. The reinstatement relief is for drivers that have yet to pay their reinstatement fees.

Zimbabwe calls for extradition of Cecil the lion's killer
By MacDonald Dzirutwe
HARARE (Reuters) - The American dentist who killed Cecil the lion was a "foreign poacher" who paid for an illegal hunt and he should be extradited to Zimbabwe to face justice, environment minister Oppah Muchinguri said on Friday.
In Harare's first official comments since Cecil's killing grabbed world headlines this week, Muchinguri said the Prosecutor General had started the process to have 55-year-old Walter Palmer extradited from the United States.
Muchinguri, a senior member of President Robert Mugabe's ruling ZANU-PF party, described Cecil, a rare black-maned lion well-known to tourists in the Hwange National Park, as an "iconic attraction".
"The illegal killing was deliberate," she said at a news conference. "We are appealing to the responsible authorities for his extradition to Zimbabwe so that he can be held accountable for his illegal actions."
Palmer has admitted killing the 13-year-old lion, who was fitted with a GPS collar as part of an Oxford University study.
He said in a statement issued by a publicist early this week that he had hired professional guides and believed the necessary hunting permits were in order.
The Minnesota dentist and trophy hunter has not been seen since his identity was revealed this week by Zimbabwean conservationists.
On Friday the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is investigating the killing of the lion, said it had been contacted by a representative for Palmer on Thursday. Continued...

Corcoran Cougars vs. West Genesee Wildcats – April 6
Senior James Cathers ripped a laser in overtime to lift the Corcoran Cougars (2-0) over the West Genesee Wildcats in CNYCL action Tuesday night.
The Wildcats (2-2), who were coming off a big 9-8 victory over Downington East last Saturday, held a 4-3 advantage after the first quarter. But the Cougars roared back with 5 goals in the second, taking an 8-5 lead into the half.
Corcoran found itself up 11-7 in the fourth, but head coach Shaun Smith said that all fell apart when the team took an ill-advised penalty, allowing West Genny to get hot and make a rally late in the game.
"We took a really stupid penalty (unsportsmanlike conduct). The kid just wasn't thinking, but it was the right call. It was a very well officiated game. (West Genesee) scored twice during that 1 minute non-releasable and then we got another penalty and they scored again. That really gave them the momentum and they had changed their goalie and things were going right for them at that point."
"If we don't do that, I think we maybe pop another one in and keep rolling a little more. We were gassed a little bit. We were only running 4 middies at the time, so it was double-duty for James (Cathers) and Derrick (Eccles)."
With only 15 seconds left, and the game tied at 11, the Wildcats had a quality scoring opportunity, but junior goalie Jon Boehm made a huge save to send into overtime.
In the extra frame, Corcoran ended up with possession and Smith saw that the ball was in the care of his top players, Cathers, so he decided to let the play unfold.
"Some people from the (media) were wondering why I didn't call the timeout right when we got the ball in OT. But I already knew who I wanted to have the ball," Smith laughed. "I wanted it in (Cathers') hands, so why was I going to call the timeout? It worked it."
"It was a good early test for us," Smith said. "This league is very difficult. If you are not playing at you fullest potential each game, you could lose to someone that you might not expect. There are six or seven teams that could win (the CNYCL) this year. It's like that every year, but especially this year."
The contest against West Genesee also gave Smith a chance to see how his star player, Cathers, would perform in a big game. Cathers led the way with five goals and four assists while junior midfielder Derrick Eccles registered five goals and two assists.
For West Genesee, senior middie John Glesener scored three times and junior midfielder Bob Gasparini scored twice and assisted on another score.
Cathers, who hasn't officially committed to play at any particular school but is still considering Syracuse and Albany, drew some serious praise from his coach.\
"I'll be honest with you, I think he is the best (high school) player in the country," Smith said, adding that as a coach he's had the privilege of seeing some of the highest-ranked high school players in the country, and it's only reinforced his position on Cathers.
"James is a man amongst boys. In the game last name, there was a West Genny player riding him, and James literally ran right over him. He just trucked him. He's 6-feet, 2-inches tall and he's about 230 pounds. In college, he'll play attack. But for us, he plays midfield, he faces off, he plays defense – he just does it all."
Smith pointed out that Cathers was an All-American as a junior last year in a very tough division. But Cathers has quite the resume beyond that, receiving Under Armour Underclass All-American and All-CNY accolades in 2009. He was the second leading scorer in Section 3 last season with 117 points. He's also got a bronze ring from the U-19 World Championships in 2008, has played in the Ontario Lacrosse Association's Junior A box lacrosse circuit, and was recently trying out for the Iroquois Nationals to compete in the ILF World Championships next summer.
The aspect of Cathers' game that most people will notice first when watching him play is his stickwork.
"Some of the things he does, I just look at my assistant coach and say 'are you kidding me?' You just can't coach those kinds of things."
Smith said Cathers is now Corcoran's career leader in points, having surpassed Kevin Curtain (Hobart). But he pointed out that Cathers also either has or will likely have the school's all-time records for groundballs and faceoff wins.
"By the time he gets done, he will own everything. And he is just a great kid. He's pretty quiet, and his teachers absolutely love him."
Smith said he's been at Corcoran coaching for 20 years, not just lacrosse, but also in football and basketball, coaching players like current New Orleans Saint linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar. But he says he's never seen anyone like Cathers, who even joined the football team last fall after several years away from the sport.
"He is the best athlete I have seen in that school. He could play any sport he wanted to. Whatever sport he picks up, he does well. He is a special kid."
Senior defender Logan Tousaw (Syracuse) is another key player for Corcoran this season.
"In my mind, Logan is one of the best (high school) defensemen in the country. He hits, he is physical, he has a great stick and he is extremely strong. He is just going to be a stud in D1."?
Tousaw was originally a midfielder for Smith, but because of his aggressive and tenacious personality, the coaches turned him into a defender. He was a unanimous First-Team All-League choice last year and Smith said that was confirmed when he watched Tousaw shut down West Islip's Nicky Galasso last summer at the Nike New York Shootout in Syracuse.
"Logan locked him up. He didn't score one-on-one against him at all," the coach said, adding that he has seen him do the same to other highly regarded players.
Smith said Eccles was another player to keep an eye on. He is drawing looks from schools like Ohio State and Hobart, according to Smith.
At 6'1" and also bringing hockey experience to the game, Smith said Eccles is an "extremely tough, strong player who can shoot with both hands."
Senior attackman Ethan Thompson is another key player for the Cougars. "He's going to Nazareth. He's really committed to improving his game this year. He's dropped about 25 pounds. He's playing attack, but also plays middie and just does whatever is necessary, which is why he was named a captain sort of late into the season this year."
Smith said he fully expects West Genesee to be in the hunt for the Section III Class A title by the time the post-season rolls around.
The Wildcats next face the Baldwinsville Bees Friday night in Camillus in what Smith said should be a game that everyone in the area will want to watch.
The Cougars take on Nottingham Friday night at home.

Pagan Blog Project 2014: "W" is for Why?
Like a two-year-old who's just discovered the word, I ask "Why?" a lot. Why am I doing this? Why me? Why did I feel drawn to this path?
Some days, it's "why do I even bother?".
(I don't like those days.)
This path isn't easy. It's even lonely, a lot of the time. Quite often I feel like I can't talk to other people in my life about it, that I can't share with them something that's so important to me.
So why do I still walk it?
Good question.
It's not the answer anyone wants to hear, I know, least of all me. Some days, I don't even know why I do this. Some days, I'm not sure if what I'm doing is real.
What gets me through the rough days is…hope, I guess.
I have to have hope that I can believe again, that I can get through the dark days and the bad days. I have to have faith in myself if I can't have faith in anything else. And it's not easy. Sometimes it's even harder to believe in myself than anything else.
So that's why. I believe because I have hope. My hope is independent of my belief…but my belief does a good deal to shore up my hope.

Nobel for quantum "parlour trick" that could make super computers
By Niklas Pollard and Anna Ringstrom
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A French and an American scientist won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for finding ways to measure quantum particles without destroying them, which could make it possible to build a new kind of computer far more powerful than any seen before.
Serge Haroche of France and American David Wineland, both 68, found ways to manipulate the very smallest particles of matter and light to observe strange behavior that previously could only be imagined in equations and thought experiments.
Wineland once described his own work as a "parlour trick" that performed the seemingly magical feat of putting an object in two places at once. Other scientists praised the achievements as bringing to life the wildest dreams of science fiction.
"The Nobel laureates have opened the door to a new era of experimentation with quantum physics by demonstrating the direct observation of individual quantum particles without destroying them," said the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awarded them the 8 million crown ($1.2 million) prize.
"Perhaps the quantum computer will change our everyday lives in this century in the same radical way as the classical computer did in the last century."
Haroche said he was walking in the street with his wife when he recognized the Swedish country code on the incoming call to inform him of the award.
"I saw the area code 46, then I sat down," he told reporters in Sweden by telephone. "First I called my children, then I called my closest colleagues, without whom I would never have won this prize," he said. Asked how he would celebrate, he said: "I will have champagne, of course."
He told Reuters he hoped the prize would give him a platform "that will allow me to communicate ideas, not just in this field of research but for research in general, fundamental research". Continued...

Best Strength Bands for Women
Strength bands are great alternative to free weights, dumbbells, and other resistance routines. In fact, they have been around since decades and were being used in fitness and therapeutic contexts. They are available in various sizes and variants, but are broadly classified as resistance tubes and flat bands, with each having its own accessories, subsets, and specialty bands.
Fitness bands are quite versatile and this is probably the biggest reason why they are so popular among women of all age groups. They can easily fit into, and replace various fitness routines with free weights, yoga, Pilates, sports specific training, circuit training, and so on. Best thing about best strength bands from Ironwoodyfitness.com is that it is lightweight, and easy to store, and you can easily work on your flexibility at the same time. In fact, pregnant ladies can also use them for their workouts.
Another benefit of fitness bands is that they provide toning to specific body parts, which many women prefer. The best thing about these fitness bands is that they are quite cheap and you can get the best ones for just a few dollars. Best quality dynamax balls are also (see more here) available on online stores. Another advantage of fitness bands is that they are more gentle than hard surfaced, and heavy metallic dumbbells, so they offer "softer side" of resistance training.
With these bands you can have full range body workouts, and unlike free weights, you have continuous resistance with fitness bands. This means you also have complete freedom to move and can also change directions while maintaining proper resistance at all body points. Like free weights the resistance may vary depending upon the point of extension.
You can easily stretch, or warm up both with or without bands, and then can seamlessly switch over to the large muscle groups, such as triceps, biceps, glutes , lats, chest, calves, and thighs. With bands, you can work on all your problem areas that women usually struggle with. You can also add flexibility exercise with these bands.
However, if you are new you should be safe and learn to use these bands from somebody who knows all about them and the kind of exercises you can do using them. Inspect the bands before using them to ensure that they are in good shape. Once you've decided on the best pilates bands, tubular, flat, narrow or wide, always buy the one with best quality. This will ensure better results and your fitness bands may also last for years.

Roasted Brussels sprouts for a simple side dish on Meatless Monday
One of the biggest misconceptions about vegan food is that it requires a bunch of weird ingredients to make something taste good -- as well as a lot of time and complicated steps. This dish will show how untrue that is. It's quick, easy and will give you a whole new appreciation for Brussels sprouts; we adapted it from Vegan With a Vengeance. See also: - White beans and kale with parsnips on Meatless Monday - Traditional potato salad, vegan-style, for a cookout side dish on Meatless Monday - Vegan Caesar salad for a substantial serving of greens on Meatless Monday
You will need:
1 pound Brussels sprouts 2-4 tablespoons olive oil 3-4 cloves garlic 1-2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
1. Rinse the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half, cutting off the bottom as well.
You'll have a big pile of them when you're finished.
2. Place the Brussels sprouts in a rimmed baking dish (or casserole dish, in this case) and drizzle with olive oil, tossing until they are coated. Roast for ten minutes.
While they are roasting, peel and chop the garlic.
3. Pull out the Brussels sprouts, sprinkle with the garlic and salt, and toss together.
Return to the oven for another five to seven minutes, until the garlic is lightly toasted. This portion serves three to four as a side dish -- but you might want to make extra, because these Brussels sprouts are delicious.

As if I didn't get enough perks with being an official blogger for the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon, an amazing opportunity came my way. I got to take part in a promotional video for the race! RACM passed along my name to Think Media Studios, and they contacted me about taking part in a video that highlighted runners and their stories. Two other people were picked for this – a legacy runner who has completed every Cleveland Marathon since its inception and a father who, along with his son, is running in memory of his child who passed away.
When I was asked, I immediately accepted, although I was a nervous. Would my story be as good as those? Would I look like a dork on camera? My fears were quieted after talking with Damien, who coordinated the shoot. After a phone call and some email exchanges, we had everything set. The plan was for me to explain my story and get some footage of me running around the neighborhood. This should be fun. An added bonus came in the way of Alexandra. When Damien and I spoke on the phone, I mentioned how proud I was that my oldest daughter took to running and was going to complete her third 5K the day before the big race. He said that we could work her story into mine and get her on camera, too! She immediately flipped out (in the best way possible) when I told her.
The Think Media crew (Damien, Kasey, and Caleb) arrived at my house on April 3. Being the anxious planner that I am, I stayed up the night before and tried to transform a house that normally looks like a bomb went off into one that didn't embarrass me. I also left work early, grabbed Lex from school, and made sure we were set as soon as we got there. It also helped that dinner was waiting for us at home (thanks, Dan!). The guys showed up, and it was like a major production was about to go down in my house. They hauled in loads of equipment and spent quite a while getting everything set up. Then it was time to interview! I was nervous, extremely nervous. I don't normally have a problem speaking in front of people – I do this quite a bit with work – but being in front of a camera was scary. All I kept thinking was, "PLEASE, don't sound like an idiot!" Thankfully, Damien was a good sport and did his best to keep me calm throughout the process.
A little big change of plans happened when Annie, Cole, and Cael came home early, right in the middle of the shoot. I didn't know what to do, but the Think Media guys rolled with it, even shooting some footage of me doing my normal "mom thing" in the kitchen with them. I think the kids were all excited for a chance to take part. After that excitement, Lex was up. I wasn't sure how they were going to talk with her, and when they suggested a walk and talk in her room, I instantly said, "Oh crap!" Yep, I cleaned the house but not the bedrooms. After the quickest cleaning ever (thank God for closets!), Lex was ready for her camera debut. I didn't follow her in the room; this was her chance to speak and shine, so I am looking forward to hearing her piece when the video is out.
After all of the interviews and in-house footage was completed, it was time for the fun part – running! Lex and I bundled up. The weather, which was absolutely gorgeous the day before, didn't exactly cooperate the way we wanted when we scheduled the shoot. Cold and wet were the conditions of the day, but what the hell?! Isn't this typical Cleveland weather, and don't we have to train in this anyway? They shot footage of Lex running back and forth in front of the house. The plan for my run was to follow along behind the van while they filmed. I have to admit it felt a little awkward, but it was kinda badass running in the rain and splashing through the puddles.
This truly was a great experience, and I was so happy that I was picked to represent a race that is so important to me. Thank you, Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon and Think Media Studios! I can't wait to see the finished product and view the other runners' videos. I have no doubt that they will motivate others and me for CLE.
If you want to see a quick promo video that Think Media Studios put together, check it out! I make a cameo 🙂

FRESNO, Calif. – Northern Arizona (2-6) men's basketball battled from start to finish versus Fresno State (6-3), but the Lumberjacks fell to the Bulldogs in their first overtime game of the season 71-67.
"I thought a lot of guys stepped up today," said head coach Jack Murphy. "We're not going to face many more athletic teams like Fresno State. We learned a lot about our team over these past few games. I thought we got better at attacking the paint and we didn't settle today. As we get closer to conference time, we have to come up with a rotation, so it's good to see guys stepping up."
Senior forward Max Jacobsen netted a team-high 21 points, in addition to five rebounds, as he earned all-tournament team honors. Junior swingman Gaellan Bewernick recorded the first double-double of the season for NAU with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Quinton Upshur added 11 points, while Jordyn Martin finished with 10 points and nine rebounds.
After both teams went head-to-head for the majority of the game, Fresno State's Marvelle Harris hit a pair of free throws with 5.9 seconds left in the second half to tie it up at 62-All.
NAU had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but a jumper by Kris Yanku bounced off the rim, sending the game into overtime.
Unfortunately, the Bulldogs were able to extend their lead to four and take the win.
Harris led the Bulldogs in scoring with 27 points, five rebounds and three assists. Alex Davis (13), Cezar Guerrero (12) and Allen Huddleston (12) rounded out Fresno State's top scorers.
NAU returns home on Saturday, Dec. 7 to host Hawai'i at 5 p.m. at the Walkup Skydome.
Notes: Max Jacobsen has scored in double figures in all but one game this season…Jordyn Martin recorded his first double digit game of the season…Gaellan Bewernick recorded his first double-double of the season…Today was the first overtime game of the season for NAU.

Plastic surgery blog about breast implants and mastopexy from Cincinnati, Ohio
One of the most common reasons women seek breast surgery in our practice is to fix the deflated appearance of their chest after having children. Women miss the fullness in the upper half off their breasts that looked good in clothing and bathing suits—the volume that mysteriously went away after breast feeding. Most of these women express a desire to increase volume or fullness, plus they want their breasts to be perkier.
What exactly does perky mean? Perkiness exists when the nipples are in an ideal position. This means they are above the breast crease and centered on the most projecting part of the breast. As your breasts enlarge from pregnancy and breast feeding, the skin stretches. When your size decreases, you are left with extra skin. This causes the nipples to fall from their ideal position as the breasts deflate.
How can we fix it? First, we need to decide how much more volume you want. By using breast implant sizers, we can pick the right implant volume. This is the most accurate way to find the size you will be happy with in the long term. Once you have chosen your size, we need to decide if you need a lift.
Whether you need a breast lift or mastopexy depends on your nipple position relative to your breast crease or inframammary fold (IMF). Basically, if your nipple is above your breast crease, you do not need a lift. If your nipple is below your breast crease, you need a lift. If your nipple is right at your breast crease, it depends. If your nipple is right at your breast crease and you choose a small implant, you will probably need a lift for the best possible shape. If you choose a moderate sized or larger implant, you will probably have a good shape without a lift.
The pictures below show examples of nipple position. Both women show signs of deflation where they could benefit from more volume, but their degree of perkiness if very different. The picture on the left shows a woman with good perkiness—her nipples are above the fold. The image on the right shows a woman lacking perkiness with her nipples below the fold.
In the next blog, we will compare the results when the perkier breast is treated with a breast augmentation and the non-perky breast is treated with a breast augmentation plus a breast lift. As you will see, we can get a nice improvement for both women when we use the right techniques for the situation and your goals. For more information, visit our video about breast augmentation and lift and check out some breast aug plus lift before and after images. If you are ready to take the next step, contact us to set up a consultation at one of our convenient Cincinnati, Ohio or Northern Kentucky offices.

Aurora -- Although efforts are under way to repeal the new Common Core standards for education in Ohio, Aurora Superintendent Russ Bennett said he believes "these new standards are helping students to become thinkers and problem solvers."
Three days of hearings took place in Columbus last week on House Bill 597, proposed by Republican state Reps. Matt Huffman of Lima and Andy Thompson of Marietta, which addresses concerns about the national movement to implement more uniform educational standards in classrooms.
Proponents say Common Core is an effort to ensure every high school graduate has the foundational knowledge needed for college, technical schools or other career paths. It applies only to math and language arts, and is now referred to in Ohio as "Essential Skills."
Proponents also say local school boards retain control over curriculum, and districts have invested heavily in recent years training teachers and preparing lessons and assessments to meet the new standards.
But opponents say the standards represent an overreach of the federal government and corporate interests into local classrooms, with resulting textbook lessons so convoluted or awkwardly phrased that students and their parents don't understand them.
"The real change is that these standards are focused on students being able to apply knowledge versus many cases in the past where students just had to regurgitate a fact," Bennett said.
"AS AN educator for over 30 years, I can say that we have substantially improved what students need to know and perform, and that can be attributed to the standards. We've had standards for many years, and I fully support these new standards and think they are right for our students.
"By working with these standards daily, we have learned that 70 percent of the so-called 'new' standards are the same as those that existed before. Some standards shifted down a grade level and some new standards were added."
Bennett explained that from the statements or standards, teachers create their classroom assessments, lesson plans, pacing guides and recommendations for textbooks and supplemental materials.
"All textbooks are approved by the local Board of Education, so no local control has been lost," he said.
"Aurora has very high standards for its students, and the shift for us is less dramatic than other districts. Our reputation and state and national rankings all point to the great work of our staff and a relentless focus on student success."
LATE IN July, Huffman and Thompson introduced HB 597 as placeholder legislation "to repeal and replace the Common Core initiative academic standards [for math and language arts] and related assessment system."
Huffman, who serves as chairman of the rules and reference committee, opted to play host to hearings on the new repeal effort during lawmakers' summer recess, with no final action expected in the House until after the November election.
If enacted, Huffman said the legislation would require new standards to be in place for the 2017 school year.
Common Core standards would remain in place for the current school year, with standards formerly used in Massachusetts used during the two school years when new standards are being developed.
Democrats on the committee voiced concern last week about the process -- having the hearing before the rules and reference committee instead of the education committee, for example.
They also questioned the wisdom of changing standards that schools have already implemented and the timing of developing new standards.
"How are we holding ourselves accountable in terms of public trust?" asked Democrat House Minority Leader Tracy Heard of Columbus. "We have already invested I'm not sure how many millions of dollars in Common Core."

My grandmother had harder materials to learn when she was in public school in the early 1900s, and she learned the difficult history, grammar, literature and mathematics that was taught. This same tough curriculum was presented to everyone. In those days, there was not a national promulgated standard. The people in every jurisdiction simply had the intelligence to know how to pass down what mankind had learned so far to the next generation. They included only the important, because they knew there was limited time. And they knew better than to trust a "mandate" from political hacks. That is what Common Core is, enough information to keep children under control and poorly educated. That is what the majority of schools now produce. Non critical thinkers who elect people without bothering to learn if they have ever done anything to qualify for leadership. Common Core is about how to create stupid people. Our ancestors were smarter than this. The jury is still out on us.

Former U.N. chief launches anthem for climate change
By Dominique Vidalon
PARIS (Reuters Life!) - Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan launched a music video Thursday starring himself, Nobel Peace laureate Desmond Tutu and a global cast of film and music stars calling for progress in climate change talks.
Annan, who is leading a campaign to put pressure on world leaders to secure a deal at the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit in December, unveiled to journalists in Paris a re-worked version of the 1980s protest song "Beds are Burning," originally performed by Australian group Midnight Oil.
"Time is running out fast. We can all make a difference," Annan told the news conference.
The collaborative single features a wide range of celebrities ranging from British singer Lily Allen, Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon and singer/activist Bob Geldof to Oscar-winning French actress Marion Cotillard and Tutu.
"Together we can create such noise that our leaders will not be able to ignore it when they meet in Copenhagen to agree on a new post-Kyoto climate agreement," Annan said.
The former head of the United Nations was joined at the press briefing for the launch by French actress Melanie Laurent, star of Quentin Tarentino's "Inglourious Basterds" movie, who represented the artists featured on the single.
"A song is not going to change the world but it's a first step," she said.
Annan described the single, which can be downloaded for free on the internet, as a "global musical petition." Continued...

Lovers Turned Best Friends
The Most Rewarding Relationship You Can Have Is Not Sexual
Oh, yeah, she's also my ex. We ended our traditional boy-meets-girl relationship over five years ago and have since embarked on something a touch more unconventional. Some exes continue their sexual dalliances long after they've split. Just because I hate the way you breathe heavily when you watch TV and you hate the way I peel an avocado doesn't mean we can't keep going down on each other, right? But because a total lack of sex was the reason we decided to end our relationship in the first place (more on that later), we've worked on — and mastered — a different kind of post-breakup arrangement: We do everything together except bone. We're everything but f*ck buddies. Friends with different kinds of benefits. It's our non-relationship relationship.
But before I explain exactly how this works, and how it's changed our lives, here's a brief history of how we got here.
We dated for almost a year, but it went by in a week. The honeymoon phase — which, for all you relationship neophytes, is the period when things still feel fresh and exhilarating (that is, the sex is still good) — was cut short when I moved to New York for a job opportunity.
Sure she visited me, but there was no denying that our relationship had been permanently stained by the "who are you going out with tonights?" and the "why didn't you call me backs?" and the "when are you coming homes?"
When I did return home, things fit again, like a shoe in mud, but it was clear from the start that something was missing. The expiry date on our relationship had been accelerated, because that's what long distance does. It stuffs everything into a vacuum and forces you to confront a top 10 list of typical relationship problems right here, right now. Communication breakdowns, questions about the future, jealousy and accusations, the measuring of expectations, trial breakups. These are issues that couples in more traditional relationships face one at a time, like pit stops on a cross-country road trip. They're spread out and there are signs, so you see them coming. When I moved to New York, we had to confront them all at once.
