This is where you'll find me quite often – behind the lens of one of my cameras. Though an amateur (although I'm in the process of turning it into an actual business), I take an insane amount of pictures, an obsession a habit that increased exponentially with the purchase of my first digital camera five years ago.
No, I'm not always behind the lens. I do have a real face sans camera. And, amazingly, sans sunglasses. And sans curls.
In addition to the photography addiction, I love to read and scrapbook. Sometimes I just read about scrapbooking. I'm also big into word games. Mom and I are Scrabble junkies, squeezing in games whenever possible. Sometimes at her house, sometimes mine, and sometimes Taco Bell.
I've been very happily married to my one true BFF for over 25 years. While the storms have blown in our lives throughout the years, our relationship has remained steadfast. I am ever grateful for our marriage. We have two sweet boys, Clay Guy (18) and the Comedian (16). While hubs & I weren't following the Lord when we got married, God got a hold of us prior to having children. Hallelujah! I cannot imagine trying to raise them any other way.
The Comedian & Clay Guy
Our homeschooling journey began a bit later than many. Both boys went to our neighborhood public elementary school, two blocks from home. It was a sweet, small school and everyone really knew everybody. When it was time for middle school, we knew there was no way we wanted them to continue in public school. Originally, we thought they'd be heading to a private Christian school. As we started doing the math, we quickly realized that our budget and the school's tuition were never going to become friends, not even acquaintances. That started us down a somewhat convoluted path (bunny trail) towards homeschool.
We pulled Clay Guy out at 6th grade, leaving the Comedian to finish out 5th grade at the public school. I was grateful because it gave me just ONE kid to work with while trying to get my feet wet that first year. The next year, the Comedian stayed home with us, causing me to get wet all the way to my hips. We just started our third year of homeschooling, so I'm expecting to bring out the full-blown wetsuit. It seems that by the end of one year (sometimes week or day), I sort of think I have it together and it all unravels the next (year, week, day). I guess that's just the way it is with kids and homeschool. They grow and change, making it a constantly moving project. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm blessed and honored to have this opportunity.
I've been a part of the blogosphere for over five years, courtesy of our dear Sprittibee. Feel free to check out my blog, although you'll find that I don't blog much about homeschool. You will find a little of most everything there, befitting the name, Bunny Trails. That's how my life seems to work – from one bunny trail to another to another, until I'm not exactly sure how I ended out at my destination. The one thing I do know is that God always keeps track of me (God's Positioning System). He knows exactly which trail I'm on and never leaves me there alone. My part is to be still, listen for His direction, and obey.
"Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left." Isaiah 30:21

DC Finance's Going Public and Raising Capital Abroad conference, will take place at the TASE's visitor's hall in Tel Aviv, Israel on September 11th. The conference is Israel's sole event dedicated to IPOs, debt issuing and other alternatives for raising capital in Israel and in various markets abroad.
Around 200 CEOs and CFOs of companies considering going public or raising capital will join us.
Hundreds of participants have attended the Going Public Abroad Conferences; altogether more than 2,500 people have attended the last five events. As in each year, the conference covers the world of public offerings from a number of different angles – what are the opportunities currently facing Israeli companies in both the domestic and foreign markets, whether a new window of opportunity has opened, what is the significance of the latest wave of corporate bond issues, the reawakening of the primary market on the TASE and foreign exchanges, legal and accounting aspects of offerings in Israel and overseas, what different exchanges offer, and much more.
In contrast to independent conferences held in Israel by legal or accounting firms in collaboration with a specific stock exchange, we do not allow exclusivity for any particular stock exchange or firm. This allows us to provide extensive, non biased and comparable information which attracts the CEOs and CFOs at Israel's top companies that are planning to raise capital or go public abroad.
Last years' conferences were sponsored by the world's leading stock exchanges including the NASDAQ, LSE, NYSE, AMEX, WSX, TSX and Tel Aviv Stock Exchanges.

Once the application deadline has been reached and all applications are in, key faculty in each of the program specialties thoroughly review the applications. Applicants scoring the highest on their applications will then be invited to the School of Nursing for interviews. The interviews will, in most cases, be group interviews with a group of 5-6 other applicants. Specific questions will be asked of each of the applicants and there will be a group exercise to assess the applicant's communication and group process skills. Faculty participating in the interview process will score each applicant following the interview/group exercise and that score will be added to the application scores to create a final score for each applicant. Based on the interview, as well as an overall review of the applicant in terms of their undergraduate work, work history and other related factors, the applicant will receive notification that they have either been accepted, non-accepted or placed on a wait list:
Acceptance -- Faculty involved in the selection process believe that the applicant would be successful in the graduate program and they are fully accepted into the program that will start in the Fall semester. All accepted applicants will need to attend a New Graduate Student Orientation session that will be conducted in May.
Non-Acceptance -- Faculty involved in the selection process believe that the applicant is not as strong as other applicants in terms of their application and/or interview. Non-acceptance does not necessarily mean that the applicant might not be successful in graduate study. We typically receive far more applications than can be accommodated each year and, unfortunately, not all applicants can be selected. We encourage applicants that were not accepted to apply to other programs or even to CSULB the following year.
Wait List -- The School of Nursing has limited space in many of the Graduate program specialties. Frequently, offers of admission are made to competitive applicants and, for many reasons their plans may change or they decide to accept an offer from another school. When they relinquish their offer of acceptance, the next person on the wait list is offered acceptance. Unfortunately, it is not possible to predict who might withdraw from the program after being accepted or when they might withdraw. Consequently, the wait list is active up until mid-August. All applicants on the wait list who wish to remain on the wait list will be advised to come to the Orientation session in May. If you are on the wait list it is VERY important that you keep us informed of any changes in contact information from what you submitted in your application.
If you are accepted for Graduate study or have been placed on a wait list, you will receive formal notification from the University as well as notification from the Director of the Graduate Program at the School of Nursing. Those non-selected will receive formal notification from only the University. You should receive notification sometime toward the beginning of April.

Arataki presents 'Talking about birds'
24 June 2014
Arataki presents 'Talking about birds'
Aucklanders interested in finding out more about all things feathered can attend four bird-themed talks at the Arataki Visitor Centre in the Waitakere Ranges on Sunday 29 June.
Presented by Auckland Council biodiversity experts, the free mini-lectures are helping launch the region's Garden Bird Survey, which is collecting information to get a better understanding of bird populations.
Senior Biodiversity Advisor Ben Paris, who will be speaking about 'birds in your backyard', is keen for people to support the survey to help find out if garden bird populations are increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable.
"Residents are the people best placed to see the sort of birds that are visiting Auckland gardens. Taking part will be an interesting experience, and will help provide valuable information," he says.
Other topics covered in the Arataki Visitor Centre talks include kereru research (Alice Baranyovits, PhD student, Auckland University), Auckland's little penguin (penguin expert, Monique Jansen van Resenburg) and managing the Hunua's Kokako population (Ecologist, Su Sinclair).
The talks will be held at 11am and 2pm, and will run for about an hour.
Visitors can also take the opportunity to talk to experts about what can be done to attract birds back into gardens. Information can also be found ataucklandcouncil.govt.nz by searching for 'wildlife in your backyard'.
Run by Landcare Research, the Garden Bird Survey is a citizen science project that looks at bird population differences between regions, and between urban and rural gardens. It runs from 28 June-6 July 2014.
To get involved, visit www.landcareresearch.co.nz . As well as links to the survey, the website provides bird identification guides and a range of bird watching activities.

Model Jessica Gomes has cemented her position as David Jones' new star after a stellar debut at the retailer's spring-summer launch on Wednesday night.
Gomes opened the show with all the sass of predecessor Miranda Kerr. Flanked by an army of models dressed in white, she made her mark wearing a bustier corset teamed with palazzo pants.
Despite the depressed retail market the show's mood was positive, full of colour, wild prints and sexy swimsuits.
The seventh floor of Sydney's Elizabeth Street store was transformed into a European poolside retreat, complete with cane chairs, roses and yellow and white striped cushions. Celebrities and guests sipped on martinis and ate oysters.
Alex Perry, Collette Dinnigan and Carla Zampatti showed evening gowns while Bianca Spender, Ginger & Smart and Bec & Bridge turned out full skirts, printed capri pants and suiting in pinks, mint and lemon.
Dion Lee and Josh Goot showed simple black dresses and asymmetrical lines, while design duo Romance Was Born added fantasy with organza trimmed stilettos and hyper-print dresses.
Pastel shirts, polka dots and sharp suiting dominated menswear.
Camilla Franks closed the show with prints and beading across harem pants, soft jackets and gowns.

In this case, I discovered a beloved item after it had been discontinued. I blame Dain, editor and writer at Ars Aromatica blog, because this lipstick makes a frequent appearance in her articles, and now I know why. She calls it her version of nude, and I think it might be mine, too. Like Dain, my lip pigment eats up color, so this pretty mid-toned rose translates to a rosy pink on me.
Without further ado, I bring you Estée Lauder Signature Lipstick Chelsea Rose.
Bottom line: A worthy edition to my shrinking lipstick stash, even if it's the only tube of this color I will ever own!
Are there any discontinued lipsticks that you adore and wish were still available?

Making It Their Own: Helping Students Define and Internalize Their Discipline
One of the primary goals of education is to give students the freedom to think for themselves, and to engage in the world of ideas through reading, writing, question-asking, discussion, and practice. This interactive presentation will discuss how students who are actively involved in defining the parameters of and the controversies within a discipline come to see themselves as part of the discipline. They become part of its dialogue and are therefore empowered in their ongoing learning and practice. Through exposure to the literature and theory of a discipline, and through discussion, they internalize it for future practice. Advances in technology and egalitarian pedagogies are leading us back to Western civilization's earliest education models, used by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.

Mah 36
Fountaine Pajots new Mah 36 replaces the popular Athena 38 as the companys entry-level boat. Since many cat builders have shied away from smaller cruising models, I was eager to see how the Mah could provide interior headroom and volume without looking top-heavy or sacrificing bridgedeck clearance. I was also interested in learning how or if the shorter waterline would affect performance under sail. Heres what I found.
The Mah is built, just as the bigger boats are, in Fountain Pajots state-of-the-art, high-volume factory. The hulls are solid fiberglass below the waterline and cored above as well as in the deck. The transverse beams are reinforced to resist flex and twist. The rig is aluminum.
On deck
I was immediately impressed with the Mah 36s proportions. The cabintop is not too high or big, and bridgedeck clearance is not too low. The hulls are tall enough to provide excellent interior volume without looking overblown. The two-person helm seat provides good visibility over the coachroof, and several comfortable seats in the cockpit provide excellent views forward through the saloons large companionway doors and wrap-around windows. Storage on deck is good. A single locker in the cockpit can accommodate lines and fenders, and a larger foredeck locker will swallow extra deck gear. The traveler, which runs the full width of the stern on the aft crossbeam, provides good mainsheet control, and both jibsheets can be trimmed from the helm station.
I sailed the three-cabin owners version. The owners cabin to starboard has a large queen bunk aft and plenty of stowage space in cabinets, drawers, and a hanging locker, plus access to another large storage locker farther forward in the hull. An opening hatch and opening ports provide plenty of ventilation. The entire starboard bow is dedicated to a head thats bigger than heads Ive seen on some 60-foot monohulls. The entire accommodation area is accented with stylish light varnished-wood furniture and a parquet cabin sole. The saloon has all the light, space, and seating youd expect to find on an offshore cruising cat, though its a little narrower (fore and aft) than a bigger cats saloon would be. The galley and the nav station in the saloon are more than adequate. The chart table has a seat, and the galley has decent counter space plus a handy window for passing drinks up to the helm. All and all, its a comfortable interior.
Under sail
Twelve to 15 knots of wind was perfect for our test sail off Miami Beach. Speeds were consistently in the 7-knot range, and we tacked through about 95 degrees. The feedback from the helm was workable, and the boat did not require lots of subtle helm adjustments to keep the telltales flying straight back. The helm station was comfortable, and the ability to trim both jibsheets from the helm station was a plus. Under sail, this is a good little performer that doesnt feel little when youre under way.
Under Power
As with any twin-prop boat, performance under power didnt provide any surprises. Even in a pretty stiff crosswind, we were able to back into our slip without much difficulty, and the engines didnt have to work hard to push us along at an easy 7 knots. With the engines mounted aft in well-insulated boxes, noise levels in both the saloon and the aft cabins were noticeable, but not loud or intrusive.
Under sail, the boat performed well and did not suffer excess bridgedeck slap or a jerky
motion. Under power, it was both quick and quiet. Fountaine-Pajots designers achieved excellent headroom and plenty of elbowroom in both the saloon and the cabins without sacrificing proportion or performance. Fountaine-Pajot may well end up building 36-foot catamarans for the foreseeable future.

York Street gardens will close at 3 p.m. on Friday, July 21 for a concert. Other early closings.
Dracula chiroptera
Nick Snakenberg, our curator of orchid collections, is justifiably proud of his collection of Draculas. Over the past few months he has leeringly invited various staff walking by to admire these exotic and stunning orchids from South America, which he is able to grow superbly in the cool orchid greenhouse (alas! not open to the public).
Now that I have lured YOU to read this, I want to get to a second theme of this blog (the first theme is that there is no end of wonderful and strange plants lurking at Denver Botanic Gardens!). The second theme is that our website is a vast portal to the Plant Kingdom. If you have not already done so, click on the Gardens Navigator link (I've made it easy for you--just click on this last highlighted link and it will waft you there!). You can otherwise find the Gardens Navigator as the third link under "Gardening Resources" in our website navigation. If you have not already done so, click on the first "Search for Plants" bar and type in the name of a plant you have seen or admired at Denver Botanic Gardens. As often as not, you will find a host of pictures of the plant taken at the Gardens, as well as all the locations of the plant at the Gardens pinpointed on a map. If you put in this orchid, no picture appears....yet! Give our plant records department a few months and I suspect there will be.
The Plant Records department, headed by Cindy Newlander, is responsible for this amazing Web presence. Cindy has told me that a handful of gardens are employing something comparable. I certainly know of no garden the size of Denver Botanic Gardens, nor with the scope of our collections, which has this precise of a tool to allow visitors to locate plants and visit with them virtually. I have asked many friends and associates in recent weeks if they know about this amazing function: practically none of them do...
Cindy assures me that this site gets a lot of visitation--but I suspect it merits much more. Although I have strolled and studied our collections ongoingly for 34 consecutive years, I have been astonished at how much I have learned about the plants here by exploring this amazing function. If someone had told me that this would be accomplished so thoroughly and accurately even a few years ago I would have never believed it.
It is a testament to Cindy and her amazing staff, and corps of interns and volunteers, that they have managed to get a handle on our truly vast collections. A botanic garden is defined by dictionaries as "a collection of plants"--I doubt that any botanic garden can boast more transparent and accessible collections than us. I think Plant Records deserves resounding applause for what they have accomplished. I, for one, am amazed and delighted by their work.

Panetta: Taliban Won't Turn Petraeus Story Into Propaganda
Panetta Expects Taliban Won't Turn Petraeus's Adultery Into Propaganda
By Richard S. Ehrlich
BANGKOK, Thailand -- Afghanistan's Taliban "obviously" could "explore" the possibility of turning Gen. David Patraeus's adultery into anti-American propaganda, but "there are probably other issues that they could focus on, besides the Petraeus matter," U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday (November 15).
Asked if he was concerned about the Taliban creating propaganda from the extramarital affair by former CIA director Gen. Petraeus, who previously led U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan, Mr. Panetta replied:
"Obviously, you are never quite sure what the Taliban may or may not use for propaganda purposes, to try to advance their cause.
"Obviously, this is a possible area for them to explore but I think frankly that, you know, that if they want to have an impact, there are probably other issues that they could focus on, besides the Petraeus matter," Mr. Panetta said.
The Taliban consider adultery as a violation of Islam's sharia law, punishable by death.
Afghanistan's Taliban publicly executed suspect men and women, including death by stoning, during their 1996-2001 regime which was toppled by a U.S. invasion.
During the past decade, the Taliban executed several adulterous people after staging brief tribunals in rebel-held territory.
Under U.S. military law, adultery is punishable by a possible court martial.
Gen. Petraeus publicly admitted having an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, and resigned on Nov. 9 as CIA director.
In Bangkok, Mr. Panetta was speaking at a news conference while flanked by his Thai counterpart, Defense Minister Air Chief Marshal Sukumpol Suwanatat.
They signed a "2012 Joint Vision Statement for the Thai-U.S. Defense Alliance," to update a 1962 U.S.-Thailand statement describing their security relationship.
Mr. Panetta had arrived earlier in the day from Australia on a regional week-long tour.
After Bangkok, he planned to go to neighboring Cambodia.
Mr. Panetta was asked by another reporter if he was concerned that other people who worked for him might have been targeted by Mrs. Broadwell, who reportedly sent e-mails about her female rival, Jill Kelley, to other unidentified people.
"I am not aware of any others that could be involved in this issue at the present time," said the bespectacled Mr. Panetta who wore a dark suit.
Mr. Panetta also remarked about potentially scandalous e-mail sent to and from Gen. John Allen to the Florida-based socialite Mrs. Kelley.
Gen. Allen became the top commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan after Gen. Petraeus left that position to direct the CIA in the summer of 2011.
After Mr. Panetta was told about the e-mails between Gen. Allen and Mrs. Kelley, "I thought it was important to refer it to the Defense Department's inspector general, in order to determine what the facts are here," Mr. Panetta said, concerning the Marine four-star general's case.
"What I don't want to do is to try to characterize those [e-mail] communications, because I think I don't want to do anything that will impact on their [the inspector general's] ability to conduct an objective review of what was contained in those e-mails," he said.
"I don't think anybody ought to jump to any conclusions as to where any of this will lead. But I do think it is important for the inspector general to conduct this review, so that we can get to the facts and determine what exactly happened here," Mr. Panetta said.
In their "Joint Vision Statement," the U.S. and Thailand said they would cooperate in "the Asia-Pacific region" to provide security and also "open access by all to shared maritime, space, and cyber domains".
"The United States supports Thai defense modernization and training requirements, including through the sale of U.S. defense equipment, Excess Defense Article transfers, Foreign Military Financing," and other assistance, their statement said.
It highlighted Thailand's 2004 designation as "a major non-NATO ally of the United States".
Their statement cited Bangkok for allowing the Pentagon to annually stage, on Thai territory, "Cobra Gold, the world's largest unilateral military exercise and premier training event in Asia."
Richard S. Ehrlich is a Bangkok-based journalist from San Francisco, California, reporting news from Asia since 1978, and recipient of Columbia University's Foreign Correspondent's Award. He is a co-author of three non-fiction books about Thailand, including "Hello My Big Big Honey!" Love Letters to Bangkok Bar Girls and Their Revealing Interviews; 60 Stories of Royal Lineage; and Chronicle of Thailand: Headline News Since 1946. Mr. Ehrlich also contributed to the final chapter, Ceremonies and Regalia, in a new book titled King Bhumibol Adulyadej, A Life's Work: Thailand's Monarchy in Perspective.

The Conservative Party has postponed a bitter nomination battle in a Toronto-area riding, saying it needs time to sort out complaints of fraud and robocalls in the riding.
The nomination vote in Oakville North-Burlington had been set for May 24, but the party announced Thursday evening it would be delayed "in order to fully review complaints received" in recent days by both candidates' campaigns, spokesman Cory Hann said in a statement.
"The Conservative Party believes in upholding the integrity of our nomination process, and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause," the statement said.
The party hasn't yet announced a new voting date. Eve Adams, the current MP for the nearby riding of Mississauga-Brampton South, is seeking the nomination in the newly created riding and is being challenged by chiropractor Natalia Lishchyna. Allegations of interference in the riding already led Ms. Adams's fiance, Dimitri Soudas, to resign his post as the Conservative Party's executive director.
Ms. Lishchyna's campaign has alleged they have found 38 cases where people were signed up by Ms. Adams's supporters only to have problems revealed afterward – such as a family of five who was given Conservative Party memberships without paying for them.
Ms. Lishchyna's campaign alleges they found the cases while calling 238 homes among the roughly 1,800 Conservative Party members in the riding.
Ms. Adams's campaign, in turn, has alleged mysterious robocalls – made anonymously – in the riding violate federal law, and has filed complaints with Elections Canada and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. Mr. Soudas has dismissed the fraud allegations as part of a "desperate campaign."
The nominations are taking place in advance of the 2015 federal election. It's one of three Conservative races – of more than 100 completed – that have resulted in actual votes. The first saw incumbent MP Rob Anders defeated, while the second vote in the riding of incumbent David Tilson is set to take place Friday.
Ms. Adams has said she is running in the new riding because she and Mr. Soudas moved there last year, but the move pitted her against Ms. Lishchyna. Election results from 2011 indicate the newly drawn riding is a safer Conservative seat than the one formed largely out of Ms. Adams's current riding.Report Typo/Error

Thesis by Publication FAQs
Do examiners understand the thesis by publication format?
- Every thesis is assessed on the calibre of its content, regardless of its format (traditional dissertation or by publication).
- The Higher Degree Research Office (HDRO) sends examiners an information pack, containing the university's policy on thesis examination. The pack refers to the MQ Thesis by Publication Policy.
- Supervisors may, if they choose, provide the FBE guidelines to make sure examiners understand the thesis by publication format.
What type of publications should be included in HDR theses?
- Journal articles are preferred for inclusion in HDR theses. Candidates should target journals with C1 status (or higher). Supervisors assist candidates in journal selection.
- Generally, a five-page conference submission would be considered too small for inclusion in the thesis. Conference papers are, on the other hand, an opportunity for candidates to gain feedback from reviewers and an informed audience - feedback the candidate may use to develop the conference paper into a journal article.
- Papers submitted to conferences that require paper submissions of substantial length may lend themselves for inclusion in HDR theses.
What about references and formatting?
- There is no need to reformat published papers. References remain at the end of the paper; they would also be included in the main thesis reference list.
- References in the introductory and conclusion chapters should also appear in the main thesis reference list.
- Candidates should number all pages of the thesis consecutively. Papers with journal page numbers must also have the thesis page number.
- The contents page lists every element of the thesis (introduction, journal articles, linking sections, conclusion etc); it provides a page number for each section; it might also provide page numbers for subsections within each paper.
- All theses include a list of tables and figures after the contents page.
Can co-authored papers be included?
- Co-authored papers may be included in a thesis by publication. A candidate may include a paper co-authored with supervisors, peers, or other candidates. The candidate would be expected to be the principal author.
- Each paper must specify the percentage each author has contributed to the paper, and the candidate would be expected to have contributed at least 50 per cent.
- Co-authorship does not include copyediting or paid consulting.
- The Vancouver Protocol provides guidelines on co-authorship for scholarly work.
Can prior publications be included?
- No publication completed before the commencement of the HDR degree can be submitted as a paper in a thesis by publication. Prior publications may be used only as background information.

Now there are new treatments that may slow the progression of dementia, people whose memories have begun to falter, but are otherwise able to think clearly, have come under increasing scrutiny. Their condition, described as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), is thought to be a precursor to dementia and, often, Alzheimer's disease.
"About 80 per cent of people with MCI convert to mild dementia within about six years, based on our studies," Boeve says.
Researchers are looking at drugs to delay or prevent that conversion. Studies are under way to see if the drugs Aricept, Reminyl and Exelon, which increase the activity of the brain chemical acetylcholine and slow the progression of Alzheimer's in the early stages, can also benefit people with MCI without serious side effects.
Boeve says, if possible, they should be used on everyone with MCI: "If they can have another five or 10 or more good years, why not give them the benefit?"
Dr John Morris, a neurologist at Washington University in St Louis, agrees: "MCI should not be accepted as a normal part of ageing. It should be seen as a warning signal indicating that it's time to go get evaluated."
Such thinking reflects a shift toward providing more treatments for the very old. In the past, doctors often neglected to treat age-related conditions such as cataracts and cancer in people over 90.
"People used to write off the elderly as if it were just too late to care," says Dr Marcelle Morrison-Bogorad, associate director of the neuroscience and neuropsychology of ageing program at the US National Institute on Ageing. "But it's not too late. And, if they've made it to 90 or more, they deserve it."
Studies by Margery Hutter Silver, a neuropsychologist with the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University, have shown that, by age 100, two out of three people have some degree of impairment.
Boeve and his colleagues, who examined 111 people aged 90 to 99, found some could be extremely forgetful - frequently failing to remember appointments, details of recent conversations or even what they had just said. Yet many functioned well on their own.
He plans to keep track of the mental functioning of his study subjects to see how many progress to memory loss or dementia. Many have agreed to autopsies to enable the researchers to determine who among those with cognitive impairment actually had Alzheimer's or other types of dementia.
Still, some of Boeve's patients show no signs of developing any memory loss. Sister Bibiana Lewis, for example, manages her life and seems to think more clearly than many people several generations younger. A 96-year-old retired maths and science teacher, she has just published her family's history, does crossword puzzles, conducts tours of her convent and reads extensively.
She attributes her brain power to good genes, healthy living and, especially, daily physical activity. "You can't sit, you have to keep moving. As far as working my brain, I've never stopped," she says.

Lara Flynn Boyle might have arthritis
Page Six claims 36-year-old Lara Flynn Boyle told her friends in LA that she has arthritis and is using homeopathic remedies to help ease the pain. They follow up the claim by saying Boyle's rep said the rumors are "Not true."
What's the point of following up on a lead if you're going to report it anyway? I might as well make up whatever story I want and just throw in a "their rep said it wasn't true" at the end. This just in, Katie Holmes bought a kangaroo to ride around the house. When asked, her rep responded that the rumors are "Not true." My God, it works!

DYLAN Macallister, Melbourne Heart's new target man, played in some hotly contested local derbies when he was in Norway, not to mention keenly contested clashes between Central Coast and Newcastle Jets when he was a Mariner.
But the 193-centimetre striker is looking forward more than most to the A-League season opener against Heart's local rival, Melbourne Victory, the biggest (at least until West Sydney Wanderers and Sydney FC clash for the first time) intra-city rivalry in Australia.
With a crowd of 35,000 plus being forecast for Etihad Stadium next Friday night it will also be one of the season's largest gates.
But Macallister, 30, now in his 13th season as a professional, won't be fazed by the occasion. In fact, he can't wait to get the chance to perform in front of such a passionate bunch of supporters, having heard much about the frenzied nature of the Melbourne derbies since his return to his native country in 2008.
''It certainly rates as a huge game,'' says the frontman who is battling for a place in the starting line-up alongside Croatian import Josip Tadic.
''I played in the F3 derbies in New South Wales and some big games in Norway, but everyone says the atmosphere in these matches is special.''

What is the difference between MyPlate and the Food Pyramid?
The importance of a balanced diet dates back to research done in the 1800s. The original research started with data on protein, carbohydrates, ash, and "fuel" value for common foods. In 1902, the man responsible for this research, W.O. Atwater, stated that "the evils of overeating may not be felt at once, but sooner or later they are sure to
The first official food guide in USDA publications was published in 1916. In this guide, foods were categorized into five food
In 1992, the Food Guide Pyramid was released as the image for a healthful diet. It emphasized foods from the five major food groups: grain group, vegetable group, fruit group, meat group, and milk group. Fats, oils, and sweets were represented at the very top of the pyramid. The message was that each group provided some, but not all nutrients, and no one food group is more important than the other.
The Food Pyramid also included a range of servings for each of the food groups. The minimum range was listed for "almost everyone," and the maximum was based on your calorie needs. The biggest problem with the Pyramid turned out to be the servings listed under each food group. Many people are unaware of the difference between a serving and a portion. A serving is a guideline or standard unit of measurement. We need this measurement to help estimate how much someone consumes. The portion is the actual number of servings that you consume. For example, if you eat a sandwich with two pieces of bread you would have two servings from the grain group. Each piece of bread is one serving, so two pieces would be two servings. That means that your portion was two servings of grains. People would mistakenly think that whatever amount they had at the meal was equal to one serving. That could mean that you were allowed a minimum of six sandwiches if bread was your only source of grains! Of course, this is not the case and it would be extremely difficult to maintain your weight if you did that with each of the food groups.
Another criticism of the Pyramid was the way that the foods were listed. Some people saw the large grain group on the bottom and thought that it was more important than fruits or vegetables. Others saw the top as the most important and that would mean that fats, oils, and sweets were the most important part of their diet. Finally, the Pyramid doesn't show that whole grains are ideal, you want lowfat versions of meats and dairy, fresh fruits and veggies are ideal, that you need water, or that physical activity is needed.
MyPyramid was the icon that replaced the Food Guide Pyramid. With this modification of the system, the goal was a more personalized approach to healthy eating and physical activity. The image now had colors representing each of the food groups that were spread across the Pyramid, instead of stacked from top to bottom. A person climbing up the stairs on the side was added to emphasize physical activity. The web site http://www.MyPyramid.gov was added to give details on serving sizes and personalize how many are needed from each food group. The hope was that people would use the online tool and get the needed education for the Pyramid to make sense. Unfortunately, many people found this even more complicated than the original Food Guide Pyramid.
In the hopes of simplifying the goal of a well-balanced diet, MyPlate was developed. The plate is built off of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines and is divided into four sections: fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein. On the side, is an image for dairy. Along with the plate comes "10 tips to a great plate," which are based on the Dietary Guidelines and include the following advice:
- Balance calories.
- Enjoy your food but eat less.
- Avoid oversized portions.
- Foods to eat more often
- Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
- Switch to fat-free or lowfat (1%) milk.
- Make half your grains whole grains.
- Foods to eat less often
- Compare sodium in foods.
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
Details on each of these and other tips can be found at this government site.
We eat on a plate and not a pyramid so the image of a plate is clearly easier to understand when deciding what a balanced meal should look like. Many believe that MyPlate is going to have a huge impact in changing the American diet. First Lady Michelle Obama announced that MyPlate "is a quick, simple reminder for all of us to be more mindful of foods that we're eating, and as a mom, I can already tell how much this is going to help parents across the country."

Buying a winter coat can often be a major investment and finding one that will last more than one winter can often be a trying experience.
''If you stay away from trendy styles and fabrics and bright colors, you should be able to find one that will last for years,'' said Pat McEachern, agenda consultant for Stein Mart.
One of the simplest guidelines to finding a versatile coat is finding one that fits properly or having one altered to ensure proper fit, she said.
''A good fit is really important,'' she said. ''If it needs altering, get it done. You'll enjoy the coat more through the years.''
A key part of determining the correct size is to consider the uses for the coat, she said.
''If you're going to wear it over suits, you need to buy it larger,'' she said. ''It's going to be about a size larger to accommodate them.''
Donna Shupe, senior merchandise manager for women's clothing at JCPenney, said having a comfortable coat is one of the most important things.
''If you're not comfortable in it, you won't want to wear it,'' she said.
Finding a classic style is also important in selecting a long-wearing coat, Shupe said.
''Look for a classic style,'' she said. ''Look for good construction, something that's put together well.''
It's also important to find a color that will coordinate with many items within your wardrobe, McEachern said.
''Base your coat color on your wardrobe colors,'' she said. ''If you wear a lot of a certain color group, get a coat that will always blend with that. It will always go with everything and will always look good.''
While it may seem like a wild choice, red can be a great complimentary color to many wardrobes, Shupe said.
''Red is a fashionable basic in women's clothing,'' she said. ''It's always around.''
Popular fabrics for winter coats include all-weather wools, microfibers, and, of course, leather, both women said. Popular lengths range from just below the finger tips to ankle-length, McEachern said.
Other key touches that will add a trendy flair without creating a dated look in a year are zippers, belts and hoods.
''The belts are echoing the more tailored, yet comfortable, look of the clothes,'' Shupe said.
The most important advice McEachern offered for finding a good coat was to be patient.
''Unless you need a coat at the beginning of the season, wait for the sales and buy a really good coat,'' she said. ''Find one that you really like.''

It's "Go Topless" Day Around the World
The Las Vegas-based group "Go Topless" is holding topless rallies in San Antonio this afternoon.
The group advocates for women's right to be topless in public, and is holding similar rallies in more than 50 cities around the world.
Just one problem. At least in San Antonio, there is an ordinance that forbids the "exposure of female breasts." San Antonio police say they'll wait to see how the event turns out before deciding if they need to take any action.

This is a camping tour using permanent camping platforms on Private property, upgrades to indoor accommodation is available on most nights and all meals are either prepared for you or are in local establishments and are always included.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Beginning at our shop in Victoria we head north up the east coast on the Lochside trail through the farms and fields that supply the region with its fresh produce stopping for lunch at Seahorses seaside patio overlooking the Saanich inlet. After lunch we board B.C.Ferries for a 20 minute sailing across to Mill Bay. This crossing has been billed as the most beautiful short cut in the world. After disembarking we ride to Merridale Cidery for a tour and a taste (just a little) of the famous products produced from their on site orchards. Departing Merridale we ride down to the shores of Shawnigan lake and to our accommodation for the first night. Dinner is at a local restaurant.
Day 2: After a nice light breakfast we depart from Burnt Bridge (not really burnt) in the Koksilah provincial park on the Trans Canada Trail. This is one of the highlights as we are ride through pristine wilderness and over century old trestles where photograph and wildlife viewing opportunities abound. By midday we find ourselves crossing the Cowichan River and arriving at our destination for the day the Warm Rapids Inn. Here we lunch and decide what to do with the rest of our day.
Our hosts at the Warm Rapids Inn, Don and Rose, operate a white water kayak school on the Cowichan River which makes this a perfect opportunity for those interested to join in a beginners clinic for the afternoon. The other options are a guided excursion in search of Black Bear, Roosevelt Elk and other wildlife or if you like a leisurely afternoon by the pool or perhaps take your bike and explore the river and the town of Lake Cowichan on your own. Dinner tonight is a pool side barbeque with all the fixings, a soak in the hot tub and perhaps some tall tales around the camp fire.
Day 3: Breakfast at the Warm Rapids and then a fond farewell and on to our next destination - Port Renfrew on the Islands West Coast. This little coastal fishing community is the gateway to the famous Westcoast Trail and Pacific Rim National Park. We start off in the van past Mesachie Lake and down some rugged active logging roads (to active to ride) to our start point. From here we ride a deactivated logging road with many river crossings and some amazing areas of old growth forest including a stop at the not so famous Harris Creek Sitka Spruce. This tree must be seen to be believed, its as big as a house, maybe two. We continue on to Lizard Lake for our lunch and perhaps a swim along the shores of this pristine wilderness lake. On to Pt Renfrew past Fairy Lake to our accommodation for the night. Tonight we feast on fresh Pacific Salmon and Dungeness crab prepared on the private beach at our host property.
Day 4: Today we have to make a very difficult choice because unfortunately we can't do it all. Your options today are a half day (4-5 hours) guided salmon fishing trip to some of the most productive salmon sport fishing grounds in the world. Or perhaps a leisurely ocean kayak exploration of Port San Juan and the nearby San Juan and Gordon river estuaries. Another option is to visit the amazing tidal pools and rugged rocky out cropping of famous Botanical beach, this is the West Coast at its most spectacular.
After re-grouping and lunch at the Coastal Kitchen we head down the West Coast Road to Sooke combining driving the more difficult sections and riding the best, of-course. Today's ride takes us along some beautiful coastline including French and China Beach and the surfing hotspot of Jordan River. Tonight we stay on the shores of Sooke basin.
Day 5: After breakfast today we head up to the Sooke River and the potholes. This is a beautiful watershed with huge trees and deep pools of crystal clear water. After exploring the area we depart on the Galloping goose trail towards Victoria. This old railway right of way leads us through old growth forest, along the shores of the Sooke basin and on through park and pasture land uninterrupted right to the doors of our office in downtown Victoria. At this point to top off our last day we include an exciting Whale watching excursion in search of the mighty Orca and other exciting wildlife directly from our docks on the harbor and thus, alas, ends our most excellent adventure.
Note: Tours maybe changed without notice due to weather, road conditions, rider safety, and other factors which may require an altered itinerary.

The Obama administration and its European allies plan to open new negotiations with Iran by demanding the immediate closing and ultimate dismantling of a recently completed nuclear facility deep under a mountain, according to American and European diplomats.
They are also calling for a halt in the production of uranium fuel that is considered just a few steps from bomb grade, and the shipment of existing stockpiles of that fuel out of the country
That negotiating position will be the opening move in what President Obama has called Iran's "last chance" to resolve its nuclear confrontation with the United Nations and the West diplomatically. The hard-line approach would require the country's military leadership to give up the Fordo enrichment plant outside the holy city of Qum, and with it a huge investment in the one facility that is most hardened against airstrikes.
