Reese and Jake Are Bored By Broadway

Reese and Jake Are Bored By Broadway
Reese and Jake seemed a bit somber leaving their hotel in NYC yesterday. It could've been the rainy weather, or maybe the couple were just sad to see their little East Coast getaway come to an end. They kept pretty busy during the past week between shopping trips, romantic dinners, and Reese's Avon duties, and apparently the couple had so much to do that they spent the first half of a Broadway show on their BlackBerrys before ducking out at the intermission. Seems a little rude, but at least their exit meant the audience got a celebrity sighting and got to watch the second half of the show without further distractions.

Does Marijuana Use Cause Psychosis?
Dear Doctors,
I have heard that cannabis use can cause certain people to develop mental disorders like psychosis especially if started at an early age, is this true?
Concerned Mother
Dear Concerned,
Thanks for your question, it is one which people have posted a number of times to this blog. The topic of mental illness, much like cannabis, has a certain stigma in everyday society. Many people who have mental health issues are afraid to discuss them publically, and the amount of resources dedicated to mental health research and support are woefully inadequate at both the state and federal level. Clearly there is a lot of work which needs to be done in this space.
In regards to your question on cannabis use and the development of mental health problems, the best analogy for where the science is on this issue, is the chicken and egg question. Research in this area shows a correlation between cannabis use and psychosis. This means that the two situations are related, but it does not mean that one situation causes the other. We know that people who have symptoms of psychosis are more likely to use marijuana, but we don't know which comes first, marijuana use or psychotic symptoms.
What exactly are psychotic symptoms? Psychosis, quite simply, describes the condition of the mind that has lost contact with reality. The symptoms of psychosis can be divided into two categories: positive symptoms and negative symptoms. Positive symptoms, are those which reflect an increase in brain activity and include: delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, disorganized thinking, and disorganized speech. On the other hand, negative symptoms, are those which reflect a decrease in brain activity and include: lack of motivation, decrease ability to create or receive new ideas, decreased talking, difficulty expressing emotion, and difficulty concentrating.
It is also important to note that the mental disorder of psychosis is extremely rare, with about 3 in every 100 people experiencing a psychotic episode in their lifetime. The onset of psychosis, or similar disease processes like schizophrenia, usually begin in an individual's late teens to early twenties. This generally also happens to be around the same time when individuals have their first exposure to cannabis. The fact that these two time periods overlap makes it difficult to know if the psychosis is induced by marijuana.
There are several theories that attempt to explain the relationship between cannabis use and mental illness. They are effectively summarized on the award winning Cannabis and Psychosis: Exploring the Link website. Links and a brief synopsis are provided below:
- The vulnerability theory: stating that cannabis use leads to the development of psychosis in people who have a family history of psychotic episodes.
- The contributing cause theory: stating that cannabis use is one of many factors which leads to the development of psychosis.
- The self-medication theory: stating that individuals who have psychotic experiences, use cannabis to self-medicate in advance of being formally diagnosed with a psychotic disorder
Overall, the body of scientific literature has not been able to provide a definitive answer as to whether cannabis use causes psychosis. Compelling arguments and data have been provided to suggest that those with a predisposition for mental illness can exacerbate those symptoms by using cannabis, however some fundamental questions remain. Namely, if there is a direct link between cannabis use and psychosis, it should follow that the number of diagnoses of psychosis should rise with the increasing prevalence of cannabis use in society. This phenomenon has not been established.
Moreover, from a public policy standpoint, regulations on marijuana should include education about the possible risks for young people and those with mental health issues. As cannabis policy reform continues to take shape globally, it is clear that issues such as these should be taken into consideration.

"This was delivered quickly with the highest quality paper! The design was fantastic and was exactly what we wanted. This simple yet classy save the date is sure to impress our guest."
"I absolutely LOVED my postcard save the date! I got so many compliments on it. The paper and photo quality is outstanding. My fiancé and I were so happy with it. I personalized the card by making more room for wording on the back, and taking off the www.weddingpaperdivas.com logo line. Wedding Paper Divas was so great to work with, and were very prompt with the edits. The card is completely customizable. I am very happy with it, and cannot wait to order my wedding invitations. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!"
"Was torn between getting the magnet or postcard. Went with this postcard because I loved the option of writing a note to those who received our Save the Dates!! The designer helped with fixing what I wanted and it came out absolutely PERFECT!"
"I love that I was able to put on my engagement photos and arrange them how I wanted. It added a personal touch to the card, along with going with the nautical theme of our wedding. I think the card being a postcard is super cute! Saves me some money instead of buying envelopes! Overall, I enjoyed the whole card and I am so incredibly happy with the product!"
"The "swirled in style" save the date postcard was a great option for our wedding - simple, clean and direct. The customer service designer was awesome to work with and made the card exactly what I envisioned. I just wish that the card was printed on a thicker card stock, but it doesn't impact the card quality."

San Diego Filner Costs
U-T San Diego, which has obtained nine claims filed against the city, saysamong those seeking money is the National Women Veterans Association of America.
The group hopes to recoup more than $100,000 for an event at which Filner was to be presented a lifetime achievement award.
Filner was yanked from the agenda after his communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson, filed a lawsuit against him alleging sexual harassment.
Filner left office Aug. 30. He begins his sentence of three months home confinement in January.

Montana Wedding Photography | Fine Art Film Wedding Photographer
kind WORDS
'Rebecca was absolutely incredible. My engagement and wedding experience would not have been the same without her. She made my husband and I feel very relaxed during our photos, and it allowed our love to shine through. We had so much fun taking the photos, and we truly enjoyed the intimate, romantic setting that Rebecca created for us. She made us feel special and appreciated, and I could tell she really wanted to make the most of our day. I made a wonderful friend in her, and I truly appreciated everything she did for us.' – Emily & Pedro
'Rebecca's work is absolutely stunning and she makes you feel comfortable! She is professional, considerate, and fun to work with. I would recommend her to anyone with complete confidence.' – Katie & Justin
'Rebecca is like your best friend who happens to be an amazingly talented photographer – she is warm and friendly but also has the ability to be directive and vocal on the wedding day. Working with large, loud families and groomsmen is not an easy task but Rebecca was composed, patient and just a joy to hang out with all day long. Rebecca stays true to her style and aesthetic so there is no guessing of what end product you're going to get – we were so pleased with our wedding photos and can't wait to flip through them for the rest of our lives.' – Mallory & Alex
'There are so many wonderful things we could say about Rebecca and her work. While her beautiful film photography was what hooked us, it was her laid-back style, organization and friendly and helpful attitude that gained our trust and kept us satisfied. Taking the photographs was one of the things we felt most nervous about, but she made everything so relaxing and easy and was able to capture beautiful private moments between us on our big day. I would recommend her time and time again to anyone!' – Kira & Keith

Vai.com Home > Inside Real Illusions: Reflections > Track 10: "I'm Your Secrets"
Steve records with an Ibanez Euphoria
Carvin Electric Acoustic
Jerry Jones Choral Sitar
Track 10
"I'm Your Secrets"
Additional Percussion: Jeremy Colson and Gregg Bissonette
How The Song Came About:
All through the year I capture little tidbits of ideas in the form of riffs, keyboard hits, vocal meanderings etc. etc. etc. whenever they come up and I have the means to capture them. I have been doing this since I was 10 years old and have stuff that dates back to 1970 when I was playing the accordion, before the guitar was even a twinkle in my eye. What a tiny sounding voice I had back then. The pieces are anywhere between 5 seconds and, hmmm… maybe 20 minutes at the most. Some of it has potential and some of it's crap.
It's usually the week between Christmas and New Year that I go through all this stuff and archive it into my Trash DAT Library. At this time I am up to DAT # 49. The DATs are 2 hours each. This does not include the stuff I have recorded in the vault. Not too obsessed, ay?
Sometimes I pull things from the library and develop them into tracks. I'm Your Secrets is one of them.
What Was I Thinking:
The album liner notes:
Additional Story Info: In the place known as Under it All there exists a pond known as the "waters of your being." It can reflect things, or out of it can come various things once you look into it. There are no defenses one can have against its reflections because what it sees is the truth. When she gazed into it, from it came the manifestation, in physical form, her inner most everything.
Recording It:
We gathered a bunch of nice percussion things then Jeremy and Greg went into the studio and we built the track.
The vocals are heavily layered. I think there are 15 or so vocal tracks I did.
Instruments Used:
Ibanez Euphoria Acoustic
SV Comment:
There goes Mr. Lydian again.
There is something very sweet about this song. Although the melody is relatively unorthodox, it's very melodic and sing-able. My first thought when it came time to putting this song on the record was that most people, when hearing the intro for the first time, will expect an electric guitar melody to come in and for one brief moment I thought about doing that, then I reminded myself that that's not what this record is about.
I'm always thrilled when I get an idea and then make it real and it turns out better than I expected. It's an honor to be able to do this.
This song was about capturing a warm place and becoming a part of it. I welcome you to join me there.
You only get one first listen, enjoy it.

It's that time again for me to share some of my pop-culture favorites from the last week. Feel free to add your own:
1. Eastbound & Down -- I've seen Sunday's season premiere, and it's just as hilarious as I hoped it would be. This time around Kenny Powers is hangin' in Myrtle Beach, S.C., with his new best friend, played by Jason Sudeikis. (And yes, a cheesy airbrushed T-shirt does make an appearance.)
2. Kraftwerk -- The Museum of Modern Art's upcoming retrospective has made me delve into the band's discography.
3. Take Shelter -- I mentioned this before, but the drama (starring Michael Shannon) is definitely worth a look.
4. Whitney Houston memories -- We all have our favorites, and one of mine comes from Silver Spoons, where she made her acting debut.
5. Kurt Braunohler -- Don't miss the comedian's strange and riveting tale of what he once did for love, heard on last weekend's episode of This American Life.
6. Islands -- I'm digging the band's new album, A Sleep & A Forgetting, out this week. Preview it on MySpace.
7. Shane Adams -- Can I just reiterate how cool the Full Metal Jousting host is? I feel privileged for having stood in his armor.
8. Mike Daisey -- The writer/intrepid reporter is the man behind The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, which chronicles his trip to the Apple factory in China. He plans to post the script online next week.
9. Fishbone -- I adore the new documentary about the band so much that I'm moderating a conversation about it next week in New York.
10. Jeff Goldblum -- As one of Rachel's two dads, the actor added a much-needed spark to this week's Glee.
11. Ellen's Grammy coverage -- Honestly, these girls know 20 times more about the nominated artists than I do! Adorable.
Whitney has been writing about pop culture for USA TODAY since 1999, when Pop Candy began as a weekly column. Her interests include music festivals, mustaches, Lost, comic books and Andy Warhol. She lives in New York City. More about Whitney | E-mail Whitney

IUPUI Staff Council (SC)
March 19, 2008 ~ Lilly Auditorium ~ 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Members and Guests Present: Emily Anne Anderson, Meghann Arnold, Karen Best, Susan Cauble, Scott Cunningham, Gary Curto, Amy Fletcher, Margo Foreman, Avis Frieson, Kristine Frost, Alicia Gahimer, Paul Galanti, Kimberley Gibson, Nancy Gibson, Steven Gregurek, Deanna Hart, Natalie Harvey, Scott Hemmerlein, Sue Herrell, April Hubbard, Wayne Husted, Brett Jackson, Leslie Kidwell, Nancy Lemons, Brenda Leveque, Teresa McCurry, Maggie McFarlin, Caroline Miller, Christine Padgett, Beverly Jane Schoening, Meagan Senesac, Rachel Sipes-Salter, Pat Stites, Lee Stone, Becky Thacker, Kyle Torgerson, Elizabeth Wager, Mabel Walker, Shannon Wise, Courtney Wooton, and Deborah Wyeth
Agenda Item I: Call to Order
IUPUI Fist Vice President Sue Herrell called the meeting to order at 3:04 p.m.
Agenda Item II: Adoption of the Order of Business for the Day
The Agenda was adopted as the Order for the Business of the Day.
Agenda Item III: [ACTION ITEM] Approval of the Minutes of the February 20, 2008, Meeting
Hearing no objections, the SC February 20, 2008, minutes stood as written and were entered into record. Herrell recognized Anna Zufall for her work with the Staff Council. She has taken a new position outside the university and her last day is April 15, 2008. Herrell also announced the Membership Committee has appointed Jennifer Taylor for Sue Jackson's position with the Herron School of Art.
Agenda Item IV: Marrisa Irvine spoke about Take Back the Night. Visit the Take Back the Night website at www.iupui.edu/~save.
Agenda Item V: Presentation: Indiana Blood Center (Valerie Morse, Field Representative, and Julie Houseworth-Cruz, MD, Assistant Medical Director, of the Indiana Blood Center)
Dr. Cruz gave a presentation on "Men Having Sex with Men Donor Deferral: The Legacy of GRID." The presentation was a precursor of the Staff Council Blood Drive on April 17, and how we are to address the issue of persons who are not able to donate blood. 39,000 units of blood are needed each day. She iterated that colleges and schools are the best places to receive blood donations as the population at those locations are more diverse. 29% of the overall blood supply in Indiana comes from colleges and high schools. How can we change the discrimination of men having sex with men and not being able to give blood? Sponsor a blood drive to create awareness, collect signatures, continue to lobby the FDA, and involve congressional leaders were just a few ideas suggested.
1. What about herpes? That was to be ruled as deferred, but no decision was ever made. Dr. Cruz said the MSM is an easily identifiable category; however, it is not as easy to define the population with possible herpes risk. The FDA has asked for continued testing due. She indicated that black women are also at greater risk for HIV and this is being looked at for possible deferral. It is a medical/data clinical judgment.
2. Military personnel are on the deferral list due to where they are located. How long are they being deferred? Dr. Cruz said they are deferred indefinitely. The deferment also refers to military personnel families if they are located on the base overseas. She indicated that the same problem is associated with vegetarians who have been to Europe, but do not eat meat and cannot get mad cow disease. They are not able to give blood due to just being in Europe regardless of not eating meat. Location plays a big part in the decision to exclude a person from donation.
3. If we want to lobby the FDA, who do we contact? Dr. Cruz said to contact www.fda.gov. CBER is the committee to address. You can read the transcript of the FDA workshop on behavior based deferrals in the NAT era is http://www.fda.gov/cber/minutes/nat030806t.htm#7.
4. Can gay women give blood? Dr. Cruz responded, "yes."
5. Dr. Cruz suggested that MSM persons (who cannot be ruled out for any other reason) fill out the deferral form, then wait two weeks and have them tested. The results should show their blood is good and it would be a good measure showing how much blood could have been donated.
Agenda Item VI: Legislative Update (Amy Conrad Warner, Vice Chancellor for External Affairs IUPUI, and JT Forbes, Vice President for Public Affairs and Government Relations)
Warner gave a few highlights from the current legislative session. Warner and Forbes both work with Public Affairs and Government Relations. Johnny Goldfinger, an SLA faculty member, is working on the Political Engagement Project as part of a grant. The 7th District debate was held on our campus last week due to that Project. Hoosiers Helping Democracy is another grant through SPEA. Warner's team works with each political party. Indiana University had four active legislative days at the statehouse. One day was set aside to highlight what we do with graduate education. She mentioned there is a working group on campus to prepare for the next legislative session. That session will deal with the biennium budget. Becky Thacker was a member of that group. The group works to designate bills to keep an eye on. Forbes said the university has never taken a total leadership approach to state relations as is being done at this time. The State Relations Office is located in downtown Indianapolis in relation to the state capitol. The new tax proposal makes the state need gaming revenue. The payroll increases we receive next year may come in the form of property tax relief. Dual credit – universities and high schools teaching courses for college credit – was looked at in this session as a way to improve student performance and for high school students to appreciate the challenges of college coursework before coming to campus. Another bill on property management shaped the outcome of IUPUI as well. IUPUI owns buildings that contain lead and this bill worked to clean up those properties.
1. Husted spoke about how IUPUI is reflected in the media. For instance the staff member who was under review for reading a book that was viewed offensive to another staff member, as well as the fight between the Jags mascot and the Oral Roberts mascot. Warner said Nuvo ran a story in November of an employment grievance on this campus and whether the incident was an incident of workplace civility or if persons have the right to read certain literature at IUPUI. The result of the case was (1) there cannot be incivility in the workplace and (2) employees may read whatever they wish in the workplace. There is more to the story that cannot be spoken about at this time, but both parties in the case feel they were not portrayed well in the media and their stories were not fully told. The mascot issue cannot be discussed as to why the incident occurred, but the video on the incident can be viewed on YouTube.
2. Where can we find more information on legislative matters?
Warner's website on legislative affairs is on the IUPUI website under External Affairs. http://www.iupui.edu/administration/extaff/govt/
3. How do we contact our legislators? Forbes said if you want to use email to discuss issues on a personal level, it is much better to use an email address other than IUPUI (e.g., Yahoo). The legislature sees the IUPUI domain's usage for education, not personal use. Warner said to use non-university email, phone, and letterhead for personal correspondence with legislators. You are a voter and deserve to be heard.
Agenda Item VII: Report from the First Vice President
1. Herrell indicated there are 15 persons registered for the Staff Council Race for the Cure team. 18 persons participated last year and it is hoped to surpass that number this year.
2. IUPUI Poetry Contest. The poetry contest is in its second year. It is for high school students and is sponsored by Academic Affairs, Liberal Arts, and Barnes and Noble Bookstores. Registrants are able to receive an IUPUI scholarship if they register at IUPUI. March 29 is the awards ceremony (1-3 PM in the Campus Center). The winners will read their poetry at the awards.
3. The IUPUI Campus Plan is available on the Academic Affairs website. Many of the staff members participated on action plan teams.
Agenda Item VIII: Reports submitted by Standing and Ad Hoc Committees:
· Bylaws: Avis Frieson, Chair, reported the committee was looking at the definition of who sits on the Nominating Committee. The definition was described as "coworkers." Herrell tabled the decision to the next SC-EC meeting.
· Communications: No report.
· Diversity: Gary Curto, Chair, reported the committee will send a flyer to the Staff Council on the Town Hall on Classism. He encouraged everyone to get the word out about the meeting. The meeting is not intended to be a grievance session, instead a way to come and open our minds about where we fit with others in the community. Herrell said some feedback about the meeting was the purpose and what we hope the outcome would be. Curto said the outcome is for people to learn more about themselves and each other as the subject has some university appeal. Marilyn Bedford, from Human Resources, will be the facilitator.
· Membership: Herrell reported on Staff Council Awareness Week (March 10-14). A table was set up in the Campus Center outside Indiana Members Credit Union. A 10% discount was given to everyone who paid with the JagTag for the entire week in honor of Staff Council. Concerns were collected from staff and have been disseminated to the committee chairs. There were giveaways as well as door prizes. 48 prizes were awarded. Herrell thanked the Staff Council members who hosted the table.
· Rewards and Recognition: Christine Padgett, Chair, reported the deadline for Bepko Staff Council Spirit Award was March 15. 24 nominations were received and the committee is reviewing those to select winners.
· Special Events: Karen Best, Chair, emphasized the importance of the Blood Drive on April 17. She suggested that as a Council, we address the discrimination issue and take a stand in a positive way. One constituent has asked if we can consider bone marrow registry. We may do the registry at the next drive (after April 17). There is a fee of $25 for testing of Caucasians. Kidwell asked if the registry is still part of blood donation. Best thought it was no longer an option as the two drives are separate. She asked everyone to pick up a flyer to post in your area and encourage persons to register. If our goal of 200+ pints is met, we will be the first drive to reach that amount. Slinky's will be available for giveaways for those who donate – keeping in the theme of Spring into Life. More information on the staff retreat (July 25) will given next month.
· Staff Affairs: Wayne Husted, Chair, said the committee is working on (1) fee courtesy, (2) bus passes on IndyGo (between 2K and 2,500 passes have been issued to students, however, this doesn't help staff unless you are taking a class), and (3) the short-term disability issue. Staff members who are registered for classes can obtain a student bus pass. Husted is pursuing short-term disability through various insurance companies (such as AFLAC) that can be taken out of our pay as pre-tax. He has found that this is not possible through present university policy.
Agenda Item IX: Call for Reports from Other Committees
Leslie Kidwell announced the Kelley School of Business is hosting the President of Chick-fil-A with a seminar on how to be an effective leader. The seminar is at 6:00 p.m., in IT 152, on March 25. Seating is limited, so arrive early.
Agenda Item X: Report from Human Resources Administration (Ellen Poffenberger, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Human Resources / Chancellor's SC Administrative Designee Alternate)
1. Poffenberger said she received an email from Dan Rives regarding short-term disability. Rives has sent a proposal listing five companies who may be able to offer short-term disability as a "product" to university employees.
2. During adverse weather, employees that live in locations that are not safe to drive in, you are able to use income protection instead of vacation time.
3. David Bouton has left IUPUI for another company. Two positions in Human Resources have become available due to this change in staffing in HR.
4. She promoted the seminar on "When Generations Collide" which has been previously mentioned. She promoted workshops this spring on civility in the workplace that coincide with the town hall meeting Curto mentioned under Committee Reports. Maggie Stimming has put together a brown bad stress reduction series. She also promoted the IndySaves initiative on debt reduction and student employment.
Agenda Item XI: Report from the Chancellor's Staff Council Academic Designee
Galanti encouraged the staff to attend the blood drive.
Agenda Item XII: Report from IUPUI Faculty Council Liaison
No report.
Agenda Item XIII: Old Business
No Old Business.
Agenda Item XIV: New Business / Announcements / Hot Topics
No New Business.
Agenda Item XV: Adjournment
First Vice President Herrell adjourned the meeting at 5:07 p.m.
Minutes prepared by Staff Council Coordinator, Karen Eckert

Songs of the Season and Orange Santa Will Highlight Dec. 2 Event at The University of Texas at Austin
Fri, December 2, 2011 | West Mall Tower Steps
Students, faculty and staff members at The University of Texas at Austin will gather on the university's West Mall at noon Dec. 2 to sing in celebration of the holiday season and the generosity of people who contributed to the Orange Santa gift program.
Songs of the Season will feature choral organizations from the university's Butler School of Music and the Tower Singers, a staff organization. Orange Santa also will make an appearance at the event. The annual program concludes the Orange Santa donation drive. In preparation for the Holiday Store, Orange Santa and volunteers will be present to accept donations and fill a replica of the university Tower with toys.
Orange Santa began in 1994 as a program designed to foster a more caring university environment by providing help for members of the university community who have special needs during the holiday season. In December 2010, Orange Santa served 318 families, including 955 children.
The Orange Santa Holiday Store provides an opportunity for participating families to "shop" for gifts and toys for children in their immediate family. The store is stocked with items contributed through a campus-wide donation drive as well as items collected at special events.
In December 2010, more than 500 people donated their time as volunteers for Orange Santa. The total does not include the numerous members of organizations sponsoring donation drives. Volunteers help with the Orange Santa program by decorating the Holiday Store, collecting toys at athletic events, assisting with inventory, wrapping gifts, helping shoppers and working as interpreters.
New, unwrapped toys or gifts in original packaging and wrapping supplies will be collected at university guard stations on the main campus and at the Pickle Research Campus through Friday, Dec. 2. Gifts also are being collected at locations throughout the university and some off-campus sites.
The donated gifts will be distributed to employee and student families from the university community with special needs during the holiday season. Participants who shop at the Holiday Store complete an application process.
Orange Santa, which is sponsored by the Office of the President, is a collaborative program involving many university units and friends. The University Co-op, the University Federal Credit Union, the University of Texas Club and other organizations and individuals provide financial support for Orange Santa.
For more information, contact: Robert D. Meckel, Office of the President, 512 475 7847.

Within the span of a generation,
the remarkable advances of material and communication technologies
have altered our sense of the possible, as our respective societies
seek to manage age-old human problems. As it has ever been, a
fundamental objective for any society is the maintenance of its
collective good health. From this objective, the resulting and
continuing challenge is simply to define:
How best
to adapt available resources to the fundamental objective of a
society's good health?
The quality of Healthcare has always
been dependent upon the transfer of medical knowledge. The imposing
acceleration of technical capability, as seen within the single
generational move from radio to TV to digital communication via
the internet – firmly establishing the so-called Digital
Age - offers a significant opportunity to affect positively the
transfer of medical knowledge. Therefrom was the impulse to create
our Rays of Hope Foundation (RoH), first defined in the process
of exploring digitization of that medical knowledge with its promise
to improve greatly the process of health service delivery.
And about the butterflies....
months after the end of World War II, the young Swiss student-physician
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, in her adult life so well known
for her seminal work associated with "Death and Dying",
took leave from her medical training in Switzerland to see
first-hand the horrors of the newly-opened Nazi concentration
camps at Majdenek, Dachau, and Buchenwald. Trying to explain
what she had witnessed, she was puzzled by the experience.
For frequently in these children's "lagers"
she saw images of butterflies. Drawn with charcoal on walls,
scratched in wood,.. Why?" . The young Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
later concluded: "... it must have been because ...
for all of us ... Butterflies are a symbol of Hope."
Wheel of Life - Autobiography" (Chap.10 "Butterflies"),

Udon Pudding, Are You Kidding?
This is one bowl of soup that tastes different from how it looks. Made by a Japanese confectionary Ichimonji, the bowl of udon noodles you see below is actually a sweet pudding treat!
This cheeky looking pudding has its soup made of caramel, the noodles made of pudding and its topping made of traditional sweets. I bet it would come as a good gimmick for an April Fool's joke.

Goldman Sachs & Partners has upgraded earnings per share forecasts for
Analyst Nathan Reilly lifted his EPS estimates for Monadelphous by 5 per cent for financial year 2012 and 10.6 per cent for financial year 2013, with spending on resources development, in particular, expected to drive increased engineering and construction activity.
He warns blue-collar labour shortages will constrain Monadelphous' ability to increase earnings at the same pace as the growth in engineering and construction investment, but still forecasts double-digit EPS growth for the company in each of the next three years.
Despite his favourable view on the outlook for Monadelphous, Reilly says the stock's valuation looks stretched, hence the reason for his "hold" recommendation.
At $21.44, Monadelphous is trading on a financial year 2012 price-to-earnings ratio of 18 times, which represents a 50 per cent premium to the average Small Industrials P/E ratio.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- A collection of letters, recordings, photos and other items collected during a 24-year friendship between the poet Robert Frost and a Cincinnati rabbi is going on display to mark the 50th anniversary of Frost's death.
The Victor E. Reichert (RYE'-kurt) Robert Frost Collection will be shown starting Thursday at the University at Buffalo, where Reichert's son, Jonathan Reichert, is professor emeritus of physics.
The organizers say insights into Frost's views on religious beliefs, a topic his biographers have found hard to pin down, are illuminated by the collection.
Reichert and his wife met Frost at a reading in Cincinnati and spent summers with the four-time Pulitzer winner in Vermont, where they shared many long talks. Frost died Jan. 29, 1963 in Boston.
The exhibit will run through March 29.

As St. John's Hospital in Elmhurst and Mary Immaculate Hospital in Jamaica filed for bankruptcy protection last week and prepared to start the closing process, community leaders agreed the strain on nearby hospitals would be immense.
St. John's, a 227−bed hospital, serves the same area as Elmhurst Hospital Center, which is operating near or above capacity. Elmhurst Hospital declined to comment by press time Tuesday. Caritas, the company that operates St. John's and Mary Immaculate, said it would close the emergency rooms at both hospitals Saturday.
"Elmhurst Hospital cannot absorb what St. John's does," said Richard Italiano, district manager of Community Board 4, which covers Elmhurst and Corona. "They're overcapacity already."
Italiano praised the spirit of demonstrators who planned to drive to Albany this week, but said the state does not have any more money to lend the hospitals, which had asked for $36 million from the legislators to operate through a restructuring plan.
"I think the protests and stuff are good, but I don't know if they are going to make any difference," he said. "Even if they wanted to, [the legislators] don't have any money."
State Sen. Majority Leader Malcolm Smith (D−St. Albans), who held a news conference on the hospital crisis earlier this month at Borough Hall, said he would work to save the institutions. But he did not return phone calls asking for comment on the bankruptcy filing.
Robert Holden, president of the Juniper Park Civic Association in Middle Village, said St. John's is the closest hospital to his neighborhood.
"This is certainly unacceptable," he said. "The health and safety of the neighborhood is being jeopardized."
Middle Village and Maspeth have large senior populations that will increase as more baby boomers retire, Holden said. "The last thing we should be doing is considering closing hospitals."
Southeast Queens leaders were similarly upset.
"People's lives are at stake, said Community Board 12 Chairwoman Adjoa Gzifa. "To get from where you are in Jamaica to Queens Hospital is a longer period of time."
Mary Immaculate has 225 beds and a level−1 trauma center that handled 45,000 patients in 2007. In addition to its primary health services, the hospital also has a cancer center and a 115−bed nursing home.
City Councilman Leroy Comrie (D−St. Albans) said that Jamaica Hospital is already operating at capacity and could not handle the additional load from Mary Immaculate if it were to close.
Italiano said the consequences of St. John's closing would be dire for health care in his area.
City Councilwoman Helen Sears (D−Jackson Heights) warned that other hospitals would probably have to seek state certification to increase their patient capacity, which is a lengthy process.
"You need to have a labor force increase, more nurses," she said. "You're talking about months and months and months with the state bureaucratic maze, and in the meantime, you're getting patients and you have to treat them with the same capacity that you have."

In the wake of problems with restarted reactors, concerns have grown that nuclear authorities and power suppliers have been too hasty in putting the idled units back into operation.
On Tuesday, Kansai Electric Power Co. said the emergency shutdown of its reactor in Fukui Prefecture the previous day — three days after it went back online — may have been triggered by an abnormally strong electrical current.
The utility said a monitoring device at the Takahama facility had detected an abnormality, and workers were checking its settings as other monitoring devices were not triggered.
The trouble followed a leak of some 34 liters of radioactive water from a cooling system for the reactor on Feb. 20. The operator found that a valve bolt had come loose.
"It's very regrettable," industry minister Motoo Hayashi told a news conference Tuesday. "I hope Kansai Electric will do its best to find out what caused the problems and proceed carefully without rushing the (restart) schedule."
The reactor is the third brought back online under the new safety standards adopted after the crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 plant.
Reactors 1 and 2 at the Sendai plant operated by Kyushu Electric Power Co. in Kagoshima Prefecture were reactivated last year.
The Sendai reactor 1 had a problem with equipment that caused a seawater leak from a cooling system before shifting to commercial operation mode.
Experts say reactors are prone to problems after being idled for years.
The Takahama unit had been left offline for four years and seven months and the Sendai reactor four years and three months.
"Kansai Electric was so hasty in resuming nuclear power generation that it skipped thorough inspections of the reactor before its restart," Hideyuki Ban, co-head of the Citizens' Nuclear Information Center, said of the problems at the Takahama reactor.
He also blamed the Nuclear Regulation Authority, which assesses applications to restart idled reactors based on the new safety standards, for failing to look closely at facilities and equipment in the screening process.
Ban alleged that the NRA has put a priority on examining the safety of reactors 6 and 7 at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Niigata Prefecture toward their restart even though electric cables for safety-related equipment were installed in a substandard fasion.
"Overhauling all facilities at nuclear power plants is absolutely necessary," he stressed.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
My wife is having to go to the Cleveland Clinic. This is close, clean, comfortable and a good value. Much better than a hotel that was recommended by the locals. Various eating opportunities close by too. A little problem with the door to the room a clerk came and showed us the "trick" to get it. It was fine the rest of the time even with no "trick" used.
The cleaning staff did a good job of tidying up our room during our stay of several days. The staff was friendly. The rooms were very dated and the carpet needed to be deep cleaned or replaced.
Location was nice. Visit was for a family wedding at 1 PM on 6-11 and since check-in time is listed as 2PM I called when I made reservations and spoke with Paula and asked her since we were driving from NY could we check-in early ? Didn't want to drive in my tuxedo. Paula told me room would be ready anytime after 11AM. My wife and I arrived about 11:15 and after we drove around the building, office entrance is not clearly marked. I went to register and was told no rooms were ready, they were full-up last night, I informed the desk clerk of my prior arrangements and suddenly our room was ready, second floor and no ramp or elevator. I had read reviews of cleanliness problems so while I brought our luggage my wife sprayed the room with Lysol. No obvious spiders but thick layer of dust on the telephone in plain view. Lack of power outlets at desk for computer and cellphone also saw a multi-plug adaptor behind refrigerator, microwave, with multiple lights plugged into one outlet. Looked like an electrical overload from a former fire investigators opinion. Bathroom was clean. Didn't get to the breakfast. Sunday AM started loading the car but when we were ready to check-out we waited at the desk and no clerk so we went out to our car only to find the clerk outside smoking. No luggage stand in room so you must either use the bed or floor to access your luggage. I did try to make a local call from my room but call would not go through ? if problem with motel or local telephone system. Nice non-smoking room but smokers outside lobby entrance forcing you to walk through smoke cloud, employees & guests. Motel was quiet, bed comfortable, and tv worked but channel guide would have been nice in stead of needing to surf to find news and weather. I would consider staying here again.
The room was nice and clean They charge me three times for my room and i travel to ohio for a funeral and the day of the funeral i came out to the guys cutting the grass and there was grass all over my car i had to go to the car wash before the funeral
Very clean, comfy, and remodeled. Excellent value for the price, I would stay here again.
Location. Front desk was very accommodating on so many levels. Great big big THANK YOU to hotel employee. Breakfast was so-so as anticipated. But there are several options nearby.
They did as I expected. Breakfast was a waste of time.
cost/location/ quiet and clean. great stay no
Nothing Unknown brown stains on mattress extra bedding brought up stained and with burn holes refrigerator stopped working and leaked ac didn't work correctly bad smell in room internet didn't work took an hour for computer to work to check in
The staff were very friendly. Heat wasn't working in our room, we had to sleep with our jackets on. I found an underware left from previous guest. Overall, it was a terrible experience I wish doesn't happen again.
Super cheap and very nice. Not like a hotel 6 at all.
Location. Close to all. Beds are surprisingly very comfortable. Cou be a bit cleaner. For 1 night stay it did the job. With exception to the great, obviously newer matresses, the rooms are a bit dated. Breakfast does the job but just ok. Staff is friendly. Great nights sleep. Pool was not open :(.
Our room was remodeled. The first room we were assigned was already used and they had to change our room.
Dirty. They double charged me. I payed cash and the. I was charged again. The towels were brown although they were supposed t be white They were like dishrags.
Got upgraded to a suite at no additional cost. $30/night pet fee (about typical). Very close to restaurants and the Ohio Turnpike. Breakfast just average, but acceptable.
Weed smoking can be smelled in hall Staff wakes you up at 3am and at 9am Worse place to stay general manager lies about things he says and about matching prices Weed smoking and noise all night next door
The room was clean. The wifi was fast. The owners were cooperative. Lacking privacy. No food except a marginal breakfast called continental. No iron in the room. Sofa was small and uncomfortable. No locker to keep your valuables in. 90$ was a very high price for this room. I stayed in Hilton Garden Downtown Cleveland at the same price for a month before shifting here.

Truth be told, at this point we may as well call them regulars: they've been featured on Indie Shuffle at least 3 times, clearly with good reason.

UPDATE: Two New Jersey state troopers were suspended Monday for their connection to the infamous convoy. "We will not tolerate any conduct by a member of the State Police that puts the public in jeopardy, as this unauthorized caravan had the potential to do," New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said in a statement. "We are thoroughly investigating this incident, and those responsible will face serious discipline."
New San Francisco 49ers RB Brandon Jacobs wasn't known for his breakaway speed during his seven-year stint with the New York Giants ... at least not on the field.
Jacobs was one of the drivers in a convoy of approximately 25-30 luxury sports cars which were escorted down the Garden State Parkway to Atlantic City by two Jersey troopers March 30, per The (Newark) Star-Ledger. According to witnesses, the cars sped down the toll road at speeds exceeding 100 mph.
According to accounts reported by the Star-Ledger, there were "two State Police patrol cars with their emergency lights flashing driving in front of and behind the southbound caravan, which included dozens of Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris and other vehicles, all with their license plates covered with tape."
Motorists on the road that day have expressed scary accounts and outrage.
"I had the great pleasure today of nearly being killed by, not one, but two, Lamborghinis traveling in excess of 110 mph in a (police) escorted 'caravan' of approximately 30 exotic vehicles all traveling well over 100 mph," witness Wayne Gantt wrote in an e-mail to the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which overseas the Garden State Parkway.
Gantt added that the cars weaved dangerously across the road and he called the convoy "Death Race 2012."
Jacobs' agent confirmed "Brandon was part of a group that went down to Atlantic City on March 30" but did not provide further details.
The matter is under investigation by New Jersey police.

I've had the impression for some time that I've left Forexticket website to continue on its way without managing to improve its growth. Suddenly I feel like I'm standing still….and that's not good for my motivation. As often happens, or indeed as always happens, it took me a while to get to grips with this problem. But as I turned it around in my head, I managed to put together a plan to kick start my motivation: let's put together the means to get the website to the top, not just of the foreign exchange websites, but of the worldwide financial websites…It's quite a challenge to take on the likes of Yahoo! Finance, money.cnn.com and Bloomberg. But since nothing is impossible in the virtual world, I think that we've got a chance of nipping at their heels and if we've got a chance we grab it. To do this I'm going to have to motivate myself and find the means to do it.
The engines for growth are pretty obvious in my opinion: increase the number of media and widen the content. We can increase the number of media by building apps and complete, ergonomic mobile websites. In fact we've already done that, but we want to do it better. As for content, we can access new markets in addition to foreign exchange, such as shares, indexes and commodities. The potential audience for these markets is much bigger than for foreign exchange.
Of course, we will have to take another look at our organization. Because if we are to work with increased quantities of data in conjunction with a wider audience, we will need more staff. That's why we're looking for people with skills in systems admin and it's a cert that we'll soon be looking for website developers to man the frontline too.
We will also need the financial resources to support this growth. I can see two solutions here: self financing or the famous fund-raising exercise.
Self financing has the advantage of leaving the partners with sole control and no need to account for their actions except to themselves. On the other hand, the resources are more limited, at least in the short term, which will have repercussions for growth.
I can also envisage fund-raising. The ideal would be a cash injection to cover 4 or 5 years, in the knowledge that the website is generating revenue which should increase year on year. The upside of fund-raising would be that the engines for growth could be fired up more quickly. The downside would be the dilution of our shares in the company and the arrival of a new shareholder. We need to investigate what kind of stake an investor would want in exchange for a cash injection over 5 years and how much we would be willing to give up.
Therefore, we have put everything in place to roll out our strategy for the next 5 years. This time I don't see the figures doubling, I see them increasing tenfold. I know it won't be easy, but I know it's far from being impossible.

Gui to edit ace keys
|Start date:
|Due date:
|% Done:
|Target version:
|Affected Version:
|Close Reason:
I have had some people asking me to help them out with setting up their ace keys and I figured I might actually write a small program with a GUI to do it all
only language I know atm is Java so I was thinking about writing a standalone program that shows all the ace actions and the corresponding keys
if the key file is updated it will just unpack it in a temp folder, show the changes and let you adjust it if you have customized your binds, after editing it will then overwrite your old files
Tbh I would love to have a menu in arma itself where people can edit their keys but I have no idea on how to do that, if someone wants to get me started in that direction I will be happy to take any advise.
If someone from the ACE developers wants to do this I will just sit and wait (allthough I would rather write this thing myself :) )

Elisabetta Canalis, Girlfriend Of George Clooney, Named In Cocaine Scandal
George Clooney's Italian actress girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, has already made headlines for claiming Jennifer Aniston looks like raggedy old Iggy Pop and playing a nun who flashes her boobies in a film. Now court documents reveal that a prostitute employed by The Club, a nightclub in Milan, Italy, gave verbal testimony in October 2008 claiming she had done cocaine with Clooney's girl.
We are shocked. Cocaine and prostitutes, and Charlie Sheen is not even involved? Canalis was not arrested for any wrongdoing, only implicated. According to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, The Club and Hollywood were investigated in 2008 for "allegedly running an escort and prostitution ring," according to RadarOnline.com. Both of the nightclubs were shut down on Tuesday and five people associated with them have been placed under house arrest. Although Clooney and Canalis didn't become an item until 2009 — after she was allegedly snorting coke with a prostitute — it's still not the kind of news story that looks very good.

Bonn, Germany (UPI) Mar 17, 2016
China and parts of North America lead the market in terms of installation of small-scale wind energy components, the World Wind Energy Association said.
The WWEA released data on the installation of smaller wind-energy units, saying the number increased 8.3 percent at the end of 2014, the last full year for which it has data. That follows a 7.3 percent increase in 2013.
Five countries -- Canada, China, Germany, Britain and the United States -- represent more than half of the market, though China and the United States combine for more than 70 percent of the global market.
China, whose air pollution levels have exceeded the recommendations outlined by the World Health Organization, this week outlined a five-year economic development plan that aims to embrace low-carbon power alternatives more heavily.
The WWEA said the Chinese market represents most of the world market in terms of small-scale wind power units, noting the economy got a head start in the sector with a launch in the early 1980s.
The United States, meanwhile, saw its installations decline between 2013 and 2014, though it's "well ahead" of other markets, the association said.
This week, the U.S. government announced it was opening up about 81,000 acres of federal waters off the coast of New York for potential large-scale wind energy operations. The country has no offshore wind energy components in commercial operations.
Small-scale components range in size from an average half-kilowatt for China and 1.4 kW for the United States.
For small-scale components, WWEA Secretary-General Stefan Gsanger said they're establishing a foothold in the global electricity market.
"To grow further, the small wind industry needs supportive frameworks," he said in a statement.

Sydney-based Oakstand Property Group is in the running to buy
Oakstand, which is heavily invested in residential property around Australia, could be looking to refurbish the towers known as Health and Forestry Houses for residential accommodation once government leases expire there.
Suncorp's decision to sell the two B-grade buildings which include more than 27,000 square metres of office space comes as 10,600 public servants are made redundant in Queensland.
Both buildings are 100 per cent leased to the Queensland government with most of Health House's leases expiring in less than three years and Forestry House expiring in just over five years.
CBRE's Bruce Baker, Bill Tucker and Flint Davidson, who have been appointed by Suncorp to sell the buildings, declined to comment on the potential deal with Oakstand.
An information memorandum compiled by CBRE highlights the opportunity for a redevelopment play.
"For package buyers, the timing of the lease expirations allows refurbishment of one building while still receiving cash flow from the other building."
If the new owners intend to rely on re-leasing the office tower they face significant risks.
Over 40,000 square metres of government office space will expire next year and a very high proportion of that is not expected to be refilled by the government, placing pressure on B-grade offices.
It is expected a yield of as much as 12 per cent could be agreed to with Oakland.
There are other propositions for the two towers.
"It may be that the whole site could be redeveloped, subject to planning approvals, with a major landmark development," the CBRE information memorandum stated.
"It may also be that the market will be so strong when the leases expire that the buildings, or a single building, could be sold at that point to a developer who undertakes the refurbishment, providing the initial buyer with a strong income return but no redevelopment risk."
The Australian Financial Review understands that state and local planning laws could be changed to provide incentive for refurbishments of office buildings especially if they are converted for hotels, of which Brisbane has a critical shortage.
Oakstand, which has successfully planned residential developments from Sydney to Harvey Bay in Queensland, declined to comment.
For Suncorp, a deal would build upon its consolidation project where assets are being sold and plans made to pull together its workforce which is spread over 10 locations in Brisbane.
Last year, Suncorp's old headquarters sold for about $63 million to a local private investor.

Marathon shares slumped 35 per cent on Tuesday to 16¢ on returning from a trading halt called on Friday ahead of the announcement by SA Premier Mike Rann, cutting its market value to just $14.8 million.
Chairman Peter Williams is to meet SA Minister for Mineral Resources Development Tom Koutsantonis on Thursday morning and is taking legal advice as Marathon seeks to redress the impact of what the company called "this unprecedented action" by the state government.
Mr Williams declined to comment on the options for the company, which is expected to claim compensation from the state, but said he was "extremely disappointed" with the move.
"I am very concerned and I have been for a long time about sovereign risk in this state and that is a real issue now," he said.
Marathon, whose main asset is the Mt Gee resource, said on Tuesday it will advise shareholders of further developments "as soon as it is able to".
Mr Rann has indicated some compensation may be payable to Marathon, the company worst affected by the ban, even though it was not clear whether the state was liable.
The Mt Gee deposit is the fifth largest undeveloped uranium resource in Australia but has been beset with problems, arising both from Marathon's permitting battle with the SA government after an incident with the illegal disposal of drilling waste and the wider environmental sensitivity of mining in the Northern Flinders Ranges.
The slump in Marathon's share price has slashed the value of the stake in the company held by private equity fund Mount Kellett Capital Partners, which in February paid 75¢ a share for Talbot Group's 20.36 per cent holding.
CITIC Australia is also a major shareholder in Marathon, holding about 17 per cent.
