Crawford Pool to celebrate 50 years with free swimming for Shaler Township residents
The Crawford Pool in Kiwanis Park has been a center for summer community activity in Shaler Township for 50 years, and on July 6, the community will celebrate the milestone.
Season-pass holders and all Shaler Township residents, with photo identification, can enjoy the pool facilities for free starting at noon, and a disc jockey will play music from 1 to 5 p.m. as part of the pool's 50th-anniversary celebration.
"Not every community has a community pool, and that's a real attribute to our township," said Susan Fisher, a township commissioner and chairwoman of the parks and recreation committee.
The Crawford Pool opened on July 1, 1964, as the Shaler Township Pool at Kiwanis Park. It was renamed Crawford Pool in memory of William Crawford, Shaler Township's manager from April 1962 to December 1988.
In the early years of the pool, Sam Condeluci remembers seeing hundreds of visitors arrive at the pool by the bus load.
"When it first opened, it was the best thing in the Shaler district because we were extremely busy the first day we opened," said Condeluci, now of Hampton, who served as the pool's first assistant manager and later became the manager. "The crowd increased as time went on. The township became a little more crowded."
During the weekdays, a bus system operated in the township to transport children to the pool.
"We would get half a dozen buses at quarter to one — 500 young people," Condeluci said.
Crawford Pool has been the only community pool in the township since the closure of the private Village Manor Pool on McElheny Road in 1989.
It has grown to offer amenities such as lounge chairs, umbrellas and a water slide, and programming has expanded to include swimming lessons for toddlers through school-age children, a swim team and swimming classes for individuals with special needs.
Bill Mattock's late wife, Carole, helped to start the Water Babies program at the pool with Suzanne Jacobs for children age 18 to 42 months. Today, Mattock continues to support the program through an annual donation.
"Part of it is the legacy of my wife but also to pay it forward," Mattock said. "We were helped during that time after my wife passed by so many friends and neighbors who were so supportive of us … and it's a way of me trying to help others the way I was helped but in another manner."
Today, Mattock enjoys visiting the pool to see the latest generation of children enjoying themselves in the water.
"I think it's a nice way to be able to help the kids," Mattock said.
This spring, crews worked to give the pool area and pool house a face-lift ahead of its big anniversary.
Township employees remodeled the changing areas, shower stalls, sinks and lockers in the men's and women's bathrooms in the pool house. Crews replaced concrete around the deep end of the pool and the two diving boards. In the park around the pool, crews also replaced the basketball- and tennis-court surfaces.
For Mike McDermott of Shaler, who managed the pool for 30 years, the best part of the facility is the people who work there, the people who visit and the memories that are made.
McDermott hired countless high school students, "quality people," to work at the pool, and many now return to use the pool.
"I would say with the kids I met, I developed a real special bond with a lot of them and still see a lot of them now. They bring their families down to the pool," McDermott said. "Sometimes, they'll stop in the office and remind me that they grew up there and are bringing families back."

Serbian "students-in-residence" strengthen ties with St Vladimir's
Seventeen seminary students from Belgrade, Serbia spent one week on the seminary campus as "performers in residence," cultivating important religious, cultural, and academic ties with the seminarians and faculty at St Vladimir's, from September 12–19, 2008.
Highlights of their visit included a public concert performance in the John G. Rangos Family Building, featuring multi-part Russian Orthodox liturgical hymns and traditional Byzantine chant following the typikon of Mount Athos; and their choral participation in the Vigil of the Feast of the Elevation of the Cross, celebrated by His Grace Maxim (Vasiljevic), Bishop of the Western Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church in North and South America.
Bishop Maxim is docent of the Divinity School at the Theological Faculty of the University of Belgrade and docent for Christian Anthropology and Sociology at the Theological Faculty of the University of East Sarajevo. He also is on the Board of Trustees at St. Vladimir's.
Commenting on the daily routine and life on St. Vladimir's campus, Dr. Nenad Milosevic Professor of Liturgics in the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Belgrade, said he was most impressed by the "seriousness of the studies" at St. Vladimir's and the "responsibility felt by the students and faculty to witness to the Orthodox Christian faith in an American environment."
"Europeans presume that Orthodox Christians in America have succumbed to the values of the surrounding culture," he said. "But our visit to St. Vladimir's has been a lesson for us: We have seen how Orthodox Christians, while not ignoring the surrounding society, can become witnessing Christians to it.
"Of course, our time here also has been important in that we have gotten to know each other personally, and have begun to understand the programs and functional operations of St. Vladimir's," he concluded.
The Very Rev. John Behr, Dean of St. Vladimir's, further noted the strengthening ties between the two seminaries. "Bishop Maxim recently has been elected to our Board of Trustees," he said, "and, we have granted honorary doctorates to both Patriarch Pavle, [Archbishop of Pec, Metropolitan of Belgrade and Karlovci, and the Serbian Patriarch] and retired bishop Atanasije Jevtic [formerly the bishop of Zahumlje-Hercegovina]. Another hierarch, His Grace, Firmilian (Ocokoljich) [Bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Midwestern America], taught Hagiology and both Western and Serbian Ecclesiastical Histories at St. Vladimir's; he was also appointed Dean of Serbian Students. Moreover, one of our most beloved faculty members, Dr. Veselin Kesich, professor of New Testament emeritus, and our newest faculty member, Ms. Alla Generalow, Director of Liturgical Music, both are of Serbian background."
Ms. Generalow accompanied the Serbian seminarians to several venues as they toured the Northeastern the United States, including the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sava in New York City and Holy Cross Seminary in Boston.

Hollywood Dirt: Lindsay Lohan Arrested Again, Ryan Seacrest Confirms Carey-Minaj Beef & More
CELEBRITIES IN TROUBLE – LINDSAY LOHAN ARRESTED!!!: Oh my God, you guys, AMANDA BYNES is sooo not the next LINDSAY LOHAN. Because, unlike Linds, Bynes lack of driving skills has yet to get her arrested. Lindsay on the other hand, got arrested again early this morning.
This time for taking some guy out at the knee with her car on the way into the parking lot of some club in NYC, and then leaving the scene of the crime.
TMZ has the play by play: "Lindsay was taken to the station, fingerprinted, photographed and booked for leaving the scene of an accident — a misdemeanor — and then released with a desk appearance ticket."
"We're told the alleged victim was hospitalized … however, he was not knocked down or dragged, and didn't have any visible injuries."
Wait, you don't think that's going to be Lindsay's defense, do you?
IN DENIAL – LINDSAY LOHAN: And right on cue … TMZ: "Lindsay is telling friends she had no idea she hit anybody and…is calling the incident "really fishy" because the man didn't appear to have any visible injuries and feels she's the victim of a set up." One thing's for sure, more to come! Stay tuuuuuned!
CELEBRITY FEUD – MARIAH CAREY VS. NICKI MINAJ: RYAN SEACREST was on the "Today" show yesterday and talked about the alleged beef between new 'Idol' judges MARIAH CAREY and NICKI MINAJ. It sounded to me like he was saying they are beefin', which is the opposite of what Mariah and Nicki said Monday. See if you get the same vibe I do. Here's what he told MATT LAUR and company:
"Nicki and Mariah [are] two very different, strong, powerful successful women on the panel. There are not too many dull moments between the two of them. But at the end of the day, we all hug and laugh and go home and get ready for another day." You know what they say; it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!
CELEBRITY FEUD – SHARON OSBOURNE VS. LINDSAY LOHAN'S MOM: SHARON OSBOURNE put DINA LOHAN on blast on yesterday's "The Talk" …. one day after Dina's disastrous appearance "Dr. Phil." (Lohan appeared disoriented and confused.)
"She's a mother past her sell-by date!" said Sharon, adding, "The way she conducts herself…she acts like a teenager. Kids don't need friends as a mother. They need a mother to guide them."
Here's video of Sharon's rant. They play a clip from the interview first and then Sharon rips into her at about the 1:00 mark…
Subscribe to 93.1 KISS FM on
Dr. Phil, by the way, spoke to "Access Hollywood" about the Dina Lohan interview, but took the high road and refused to sell her out. He said he didn't smell any alcohol on her breath, but wouldn't speculate on whether she was on any drugs because he'd never met her before and didn't know "what her baseline is." All he'd say was that she was nervous and "clearly agitated."
ROMANCE REPORT – ASHTON AND MILA K-I-S-S-I-N-G: ASHTON KUTCHER and MILA KUNIS aren't trying to hide anything anymore. Cameras caught them doing the PDA thing in New York City the other day. I love how Ashton is looking at his phone while he's making out with her. Now that's pimp! (PHOTO 1), (PHOTO 2)
BABY POOP: SELMA BLAIR'S son almost caused her to have a nip-slip yesterday, and Radaronline has the pics! I expect more effort next time, kid! (PHOTO 1), (PHOTO 2)

Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
Fibromyalgia Is Associated with a Disruption of Emotional Modulation of Pain, but Not Emotional Modulation of Spinal Nociception.

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is a disorder of unknown etiology that is characterized by chronic, widespread musculoskeletal pain and hyperalgesia. Recent functional imaging research has shown that FM patients exhibit differing patterns of brain activation during anticipation of and experience of experimental pain, as compared with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and healthy controls (HC). Therefore, FM-related hyperalgesia may be due to an amplification of the nociceptive signal via cognitive-emotional mechanisms at the supraspinal level. Indeed, individuals with FM tend to report increased negative affect and reduced positive affect; a finding consistent with their higher rates of anxiety and depressive disorders. Given that emotion modulates pain and nociception, such that negative emotions augment pain and positive emotions inhibit it, and that FM patients exhibit hyperalgesia and greater negative affect, the present study examined whether FM patients would show disrupted emotional modulation of pain and nociception relative to RA and HC.
Patients with physician-verified diagnoses of FM or RA, and HCs with no chronic pain were recruited (N=33; FM=11, RA=8, HC=14). Participants were shown pictures that varied in emotional content (mutilation, neutral, erotica). To elicit pain and the nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR, a physiological correlate of spinal nociception), suprathreshold electrocutaneous stimuli were delivered to the left ankle over the sural nerve pseudorandomly, during and in between pictures.
Pain and NFR during different picture contents were analyzed using a linear mixed model analysis. Results suggested that all groups exhibited emotional modulation of the NFRunpleasant pictures augmented NFR and pleasant pictures inhibited NFR. Conversely, emotional modulation of pain ratings was exhibited in the RA and HC groups, but not in the FM group. Average pain ratings were not significantly different between groups (p=.28).
Thus, only FM patients exhibited abnormal emotional modulation of pain, while cerebrospinal modulation of the NFR was similar across groups. These data support prior research indicating disrupted supraspinal processing of the pain signal in FM. This study was funded by NIAMS (grant number: 5R03AR054571).

No problem. Thanks, Art-of-Sound.
after all plagiarism met to me, I the other day found out violation of copyright) that is very sad…
As Bananarama once said, "It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it".
Hi there,
Well…you said pretty much everything. I can share my experience.
Can be said that I have some experience in music for commercials. I don`t know how is it in your case, but I have never worked with a clients that give you extensive creative freedom. I almost always got examples of how they would like it to sound. And it`s always like that, whether they small local company or worldwide famous brand, the principle is much the same. Clients dictate music trends in advertising these days…or so it was always?
So if 15 of 20 commercials have similar music it`s because clients want it that way.
Plagiarism is a bad and unprofessional thing, musical influence is something completely different. I don`t know what exactly is the line of decency between this two concepts, but I`m pretty sure that we`ll recognize the moment when that line be crossed.
Well correct me if I`m wrong, but I have not heard any plagiarism that has achieved success as great as the original.
And at the end I would like to say, power to the original music!
This is the farthest thing from my mind when I create anything… I just follow my heart and whatever comes out, comes out… but I mean there are certain keys that harmonize much better with other keys, and I am not claiming to be the first to discover this. There are also peoples inspirations… maybe those two artists on AJ are actually copying something they have heard on TV, or the latest movie, not actually each other on AJ, maybe they both had a similar dream, experience, who knows… I think patterns will happen naturally when most people are using keyboards with 12 notes and probably even use a lot of the same software/samples.
Just my wild thoughts…

Dahlia Suki Yori No Shisha, archival pigment on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta paper, 24 x 30 Framed, 2011
Shift: Contemporary Photography Exhibition
Curated by Peggy Shaw
- November 12 - February 2, 2013
- Reception: November 15, 6-8 p.m., Gallery Lounge, Curatorial Talk by Peggy Shaw at 7 p.m., music by the Parkland Guitar Ensemble
- January 31, additional lecture by exhibit artist S. Gayle Stevens, Gallery, 12pm
"Shift" reveals the experimental and exploratory spirit of today's
photographers, whose use of modern photography processes and related technologies allow audiences to glimpse the world of familiar objects in startling new ways, according to Shaw, an associate professor in photography/video at Parkland.
"Photographers have always had to integrate creativity, technology, and process-responding to light, adjusting lens, translating pixels to paper," Shaw said in her curatorial statement. "As photography evolves, photographers must also, but what is truly revealing are the ways they respond: Open to both contemporary and historical processes now considered alternative, subject and process is twisted to reveal new ideas."
The exhibit participants comprise a mix of studio artists and faculty at several U.S. educational institutions, including Bruce Checefsky, director of the Reinberger Galleries and adjunct professor in liberal arts at the Cleveland Institute of Art in Ohio; Dana Fritz, professor, Department of Art and Art History at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln; Richard Gray, associate professor of photography and chairperson of the Department of Art, Art History and Design at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana; Christa Kreeger Bowden, associate professor of art at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia; Joyce Lopez, studio photographer, Chicago; Michael Sherwin, assistant professor in photography and intermedia at West Virginia University in Morgantown; S. Gayle Stevens, instructor of photography at College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois; and Sonja Thomsen, studio photographer, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Shaw received her Master of Fine Arts degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her photography has been shown nationally and has won numerous awards in both photography and video, including fellowships from both the Illinois Arts Council and Arts Midwest/National Education Association Regional.
Working with a variety of lens-based equipment, such as digital cameras, webcams, video cameras, microscopes, and even scanners, each exhibiting artist reveals his or her viewpoint on either our natural world, structured worlds, and/or the body, Shaw said. "These works are not only captured, but created. New technology and processes do not replace the old but add to the options for artists to interpret, and then express their ideas."

Take care, Sina -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jared Wright Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 4:20 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: (Java) Dealing With a Rogue Null Pointer Exception at Runtime Hi all, The following constructor keeps giving me a null pointer exception if called at runtime. I guess the easiest place to start is with a code exerpt. The context is that this class, cave, is made up of an array of rooms. Each room has a number, three adjacent rooms, a description, etc. It also tracks what the current room is, per the user's direction in the larger scope of the program. The constructor gets its info from a text file, and the amount of rooms in the cave could vary based on this text file's contents. I think it is this flexible length of the array of rooms for each cave object that's the trouble spot, but beyond that I am admittedly stuck. Note that TextReader serves much as the Scanner class would, this one just has a couple of extra quirks that I like, thus I'm using it instead. public class cave { private int current; private int numrooms; // Variables for the current room the user is in and the number of rooms in the cave. private room myroom[]; // The array of room objects for the cave. public cave(String filename) throws IOException { current = 1; TextReader file = new TextReader(new FileInputStream(filename)); // numrooms=file.readInt(); // Reads in the first integer of the file, which is the number of rooms the cave must hold. myroom = new room[numrooms-1]; // Attempt to populate the myroom array with the appropriate number of rooms. This is the line the exception actually references, along with the line that called the constructor (from another file). } The constructor actually goes on to fill the room objects with more specific data (room number, description, etc.). Is there a better way to go about this? Will I have to somehow explicitly define the array length, or is there a way that the constructor can make the array the appropriate size based on the data in the file? Might I be looking in the wrong place for the source of this error? More code available on request. I didn't want the snipet to get too big. I hope I've made things clear, and thanks for any guidance, everyone.

In Reply to: Two Fe207e splayed array posted by xcortes on February 2, 2006 at 08:23:32:
I designed a speaker very much like the one we're talking about here, but haven't gotten around to bulding it yet. It's a floor-stander intended to be placed right up against the wall, and I was going to call it the "Redneck Mother" after the Jerry Jeff Walker song ("well, it's up against the wall, redneck mother..."). The DCM Timewindows of yore also used a splayed array, but they weren't intended for against-the-wall placement.
A horizontally splayed array would (as an example) have one Fostex aimed 30 degrees to the left of center, and the other aimed 30 degrees to the right of center. I'm not sure what would be the best angle to use - 30 degrees is just a guess derived from eyeballing the published curves. If you look at the middle (dotted line) curve at the link below, that's the 30 degee curve. From straight ahead, you'd be 30 degrees off-axis to both the left and right driver, so the outputs would sum and pull that 30 degree line up a bit. From on-axis of one driver, the other driver is 60 degrees off-axis (the bottommost published curve) so it reinforces in the lower octaves much more than in the upper ones. The net effect is to tilt the frequency response slightly downward as compared to the normal on-axis curve. This is an improvement, as the driver is a bit on the bright side otherwise.
The drawback is that, to either side of the centerline, the output from the farther driver is delayed in time relative to that of the near driver. This will introduce comb filter effects, or narrow-band peaks and dips in the response. The ear is pretty forgiving of comb filter effects - every sound you've ever heard in a room with a non-carpeted floor was comb-filtered by the floor bounce. If the goal was ultra high fidelity I probably wouldn't recommend a splayed array, but since the goal is good sound from a mono source across a large area it's what I'd do.
So now you have improved the tonal balance and are getting a fairly uniform response over a much wider area than you would have with a single driver. If it works, should be nice.
You can drive each Fostex with a separate amplifier channel, but make sure each is getting a MONO signal. You don't want the right channel to be way down in volume and lacking in highs from off to the left of the speaker, and vice versa.
Note that this speaker is definitely going to need boundary reinforcement to get much output south of 100 Hz.
I must admit that I still have slight reservations about the lack of energy above 10 kHz. Adding a top-octave enhancing tweeter to each splayed baffle (could be a much cheaper unit than the FT17H) might be worthwile, so I'd say leave room for the tweeters on the front baffle in case you want to add them later. Just be careful that the supertweeters don't brighten up the tonal balance too much - you want to cross over first order around 15 kHz (it will still be helping out some to about an octave below crossover). The idea is to just enhance a little without overdoing it, kind of like a few sprinkles on top of a cupcake.

Golfer Geoff Ogilvy knows picking Tiger Woods for your side is never a bad idea.
But there is a right and a wrong way to do it.
Ogilvy says he was surprised by the special treatment that the 14-time major winner got from Presidents Cup captain Fred Couples.
Weeks before he needed to make a decision, Couples announced that Woods, who has been hobbled by injuries, would get one of his captain's picks.
Couples other pick was Bill Haas.
"You can't ever say that picking Tiger Woods is a bad selection ..." said Ogilvy, who will be on the other side of the competition in Australia next month. "I don't agree with the way he picked him, announcing it months early, basically telling the guys who are on the fringe of the US team there's really only going to be one pick."
Ogilvy is scratching his head over PGA winner Keegan Bradley being left home.
"... He's won two tournaments this year, one of them being a major, and he hasn't made the team, which is astonishing really that you can do that in a year and not make the team...I'm not going to stand up and say Tiger is a horrible pick, but I'm going to say it's very disappointing that Keegan Bradley doesn't get to play."
Bradley may still make the team if Steve Stricker has to withdraw due to injury.

Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) has unveiled a new 120Hz/100Hz motion-fluent co-processor ˇV SiS168 ˇV to decrease motion-blur artifacts in LCD TVs, and which can also reduce film-judder usually seen in low frame rate movies.
The SiS168 adopts a close-loop Multi-state Motion Vector Search & Analysis (MMVSA) algorithm to increase the reliability and accuracy of the regenerated motion vectors. The closed loop MMVSA algorithm includes moving objects grouping, moving object boundary detection, static text detection, motion vector distribution analysis, and motion vector regeneration. Low frame rate films with inverse 3:2/2:2 pull-down are also detected during the motion vector distribution-analysis. Based on the motion vectors, new frames are thus elaborated and inserted between two originally consecutive frames, with further polish such as de-blocking, halo effect reducing, and low frame-rate film-processing.
SiS168 can pair with a series of SiS HDTV SoC processors, such as SiS328, SiS329, the upcoming new generation SiS HDTV products or any other third party TV chips to upgrade motion-video picture quality. It accepts either single-link LVDS (WXGA) or dual-link LVDS (Full-HD) input signals and outputs to either dual-link LVDS (WXGA) or quad-link LVDS (Full-HD) 100Hz/120Hz TFT LCD panels.
SiS 168 employs 0.11-micron 3.3V/1.2V silicon process, and is housed in a 484 LFBGA package. Engineering samples are available now for design and validation and mass production is expected to start in May.

Francis I Rákóczi (February 24, 1645, Gyulafehérvár, Transylvania – July 8, 1676, Zboró, Royal Hungary) was a Hungarian aristocrat, elected prince of Transylvania and father of Hungarian national hero Francis II Rákóczi.
Francis I Rákóczi was the son of George II Rákóczi, prince of Transylvania, and Zsófia Báthori. He was elected prince by the Transylvanian Diet in 1652, during his father's life. However, because of the disastrous Polish campaign of 1657 and its consequences, the Ottoman Porte removed his father from the throne in 1660, and prohibited any Rákóczi to ascend the Transylvanian throne. This left Francis unable to come by his father's legacy; he therefore withdrew to his estates in Royal Hungary.
Notably, the Rákóczi family was Calvinist, and they were staunch supporters of the Calvinist cause. However, Francis' mother, Zsófia Báthori came from a Catholic family, and converted to Calvinism merely for the sake of her marriage, only to leave Calvinism, re-convert to Catholicism and become a bulwark of Hungarian Counter-Reformation after his husband's death. Francis Rákóczi also became a catholic with her, thus acquiring favour with the Catholic Habsburg Court. He was made a count in 1664.
In 1666 Francis married Jelena Zrinska (Ilona Zrínyi in Hungarian), a Croatian countess, and joined the Wesselényi conspiracy (Zrinski-Frankopan conspiracy in Croatia), one leader of which was Jelena's father, Petar Zrinski (Hungarian: Zrínyi Péter). Francis soon became the leader of the conspiracy, and, as a culmination of their anti-Habsburg stratagems, started an armed uprising of nobles in Upper Hungary, while the other conspirators were supposed to start the fight in Croatia. Due to poor organization and discord between the conspirators, however, the Austrian authorities were well informed; they quickly suppressed the Croatian branch of the revolt.
When Rákóczi was informed of Petar Zrinski being captured by the Austrians, he laid down his weapons and applied for mercy. All other leaders of the conspiracy were executed for high treason; Rákóczi, for her mother's merits in the Counter-Reformation movement and for a ransom of 300,000 Forints and several castles, was pardoned.
His son, Francis II Rákóczi, the future ruling prince of Hungary and leader of a war of independence named after him, was born in 1676, a few months before his father's death.

Inventing the Human/Animal
Instructor: Ryan Heryford
In the closing paragraph to his seminal text, The Order of Things, Michel Foucault writes, "as the archaeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end." If Foucault is correct, and our conception of 'humanity' is indeed a social and historical construct, how has the idea of 'culture' helped to facilitate and encourage our belief in this construct? And what does Foucault mean when he suggests that this construct is nearing its end? The goal of this course will be to study the means by which culture continually invents and reinvents 'the human,' and vice versa. In addition to a survey of theoretical essays grounded in cultural studies, this course will analyze a series of films, literature, visual arts, and performance pieces that reinforce or question our understanding of what it means to be a part of the 'human' species. Additionally, in this course we will investigate the 'invention of the human' as bound within mechanisms of patriarchal, racist, and class-based violence, as well as the ways in which forms of exploitation and the oppression of groups within society are reflected and reinforced in the relationships between human/nonhuman communities. This course will conclude with a look at texts in Ecocriticism, Critical Species Theory, and Posthumanism, a speculative discipline that deals in utopian and apocalyptic depictions of the human and nonhuman worlds. Films for this course may include Planet of the Apes, Jurassic Park, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Pan's Labyrinth, and Spirited Away. We may also engage such authors as Bhanu Kapil, Anne Waldman, Indra Sinha, Cormac McCarthy, and Amitav Ghosh.

For decades, the field of veterinary medicine has largely been dominated by the use of methods which treat animals of all sizes using drugs. However, more recent exploration in the field of natural alternatives for pet and equine health has led to a greater understanding of natural pet remedies. Leading the way in this area is the Polynesian wonderfruit known as Noni.
While Noni for pets is a relatively new area of veterinary medicine, the healing abilities of Noni have been seen for hundreds of years in humans. Our pets are family too, so it only makes sense that we treat them like family. Consider your aging dog, for instance, does he have the energy and zeal of his youth? If not, he likely suffers in silence from conditions such as arthritis, lethargy, or lack of appetite. The users of Noni for pets will tell you that the results can be amazing. In some cases, after just 2-4 days of supplementing their aging dogs (10+ years old!) with all-natural Noni, owners have reported dramatic results: "He was able to get into the car unassisted for the first time in years, went to the dog park, wagging all the while. Almost like a puppy again! And, he got his appetite back!"
For the picky-eater pets in your family, Noni-For-Pets Fruit Leather may be easily disguised in their normal food or given in the same manner as a pill would be. Although, for many pets, Noni Fruit Leather may become the treat of choice, and it certainly is one of the healthiest rewards that you can give him or her.
Choose Noni Fruit Leather for your pet and help maintain and support his or her healthy:
•Cardiovascular Systems
•Skin & Coat Texture
•Energy & Stamina
•Blood Sugar Levels
•Immune Systems
•Joint Health
•Overall Well-Being
$29.00 for 2 oz. Packet
If you want natural pet remedies for common skin, muscle and joint ailments, Lavender Noni Lotion-For-Pets is a wonderful alternative. Bond with him or her during a special massage session each day while you apply this topical lotion.
•Fungal & Bacterial Infections
•Hot Spots From Fleas and Ticks
•Scratches & Rain Rot
•Skin Conditions

•Joint Functions
$29.00 for 8 oz.
Keep this natural pet remedy around the home and take it with you when you and your pet embark on adventures! Simply apply to your pet's skin, as needed, for an effective Bio-bandage - far more adaptable than conventional bandages for your active pet and you can be certain that its all-natural ingredients won't cause any additional harm! Benefits of natural pet remedies:
•Supports Healing of a Variety of Injuries

Adrienne Moore, a doctor of veterinary medicine, has found that the two forms of Noni for pets are quite effective in treating arthritis or sports related injuries; particularly in dogs and horses. For short-haired animals, Noni lotion can be used to soothe skin ailments, including what she calls "hot spots" that appear on the surface of the skin.
As an immune booster, few treatments are as effective as giving animals a daily serving of Noni fruit leather, which can be easily disguised in the food of a picky eater, or else administered the same way a pill would be. Of course, pets who will eat anything offered to them can simply be fed the Noni leather as if it were one of their favorite treats.

To whom it may concern: I have an 16 year old Lab/Female and she will be 17 sometime this year? I give her the Noni, a 3" sq. pcs. in the morning and evening and found it helps her moblity and also the pain she has from her artritis in both rear legs. After about 3 or 4 days in giving it to her she wanted to run again. She wakes up with no pain and can rest easier and in the evening she sleeps alot better and without waking up breathing heavy from pain, she is alot more comfortable while she has been taking Noni. Also from taking Noni, she is more active then before and alert. I wish I knew about Noni before, I had 3 other Labs that gone thru pain from artritis and all live to be 15. I will start my other 2 on Noni also to help with any problems they might have. Thank you for making Noni as pure as you folks do, keep up the good work!
- Alan Fong
While Noni has already received recognition from dog owners for the results it delivers, those who are involved with equine medicine have also taken notice. In lotion form, Noni for pets has proven to be effective in terms of dealing with a common condition known as cracked heel or foot rot. Traditionally a result of inadequate hygiene in the stable, this blistering ailment is caused by bacteria and leaves the animal vulnerable to further infections. However, in one case, the regular application of Noni lotion resulted in a remarkable three-day recovery. In other cases, the condition improved steadily with time and continued use of Noni for pets.
Especially for horses who are working hard or competing athletically, IcyHeat Noni lotion has proven its worth time and again. Dr. Moore has noticed decreased recovery times for those animals who receive treatment for sore muscles and joints.
Whatever needs you may have regarding Noni for pets, Steve Frailey, owner of Hawaiian Health Ohana, is the world's leading expert on Noni for pets. Using a specially designed, low-heat non-fermenting process, he has learned to preserve more of the natural healing abilities than the "hot" processes used by other producers. Look no farther than the healing remedies offered by Hawaiian Health Ohana to ensure you find the top quality Noni for pets products at the right price for you.

Crayon Sculpture
Play-Doh cologne was so last week. This week, I love these sculptures made of different colored crayons. Who as a child didn't fall in love with the feel, smell and look of crayons? As for the artist's statement:
"For several years, my work has explored a sculptural landscape where human urges (libidinous, predatory and monstrous) are acted out by half-recognizable, otherworldly surrogate creatures. The work reflects my interest in mutated, hybrid forms, and the disjunctive psychological states that they represent."
Umm, not so much.

Baked Macaroni with Mortadella and Mozzarella
Chef Paul Kahan ramps up this comforting Italian take on mac and cheese with fresh mozzarella, mortadella, eggs and a rich pork ragù.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4 to 6
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup dry white wine
- One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- Generous pinch of crushed red pepper
- Kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 12 ounces elbow macaroni
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- One 1/4-pound piece of mortadella, cut into small dice
- 1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
How to make this recipe
In a large saucepan, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, 10 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook until evaporated, 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushed red pepper and a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until thickened, 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cover the eggs with water and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat for 8 minutes. Drain the eggs and cool under running water, then peel and finely chop.
Preheat the oven to 425°. In a large saucepan of salted boiling water, cook the macaroni until al dente; drain well and stir into the sauce with the basil, parsley, chopped eggs, mortadella, three-fourths of the mozzarella and 3/4 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Transfer the macaroni to a 3-quart ceramic baking dish and scatter the remaining mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano on top. Bake for 25 minutes, until hot. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Make Ahead
The unbaked assembled macaroni can be refrigerated overnight. Return to room temperature before baking.
Suggested Pairing
Robustly fruity Zinfandel is a good match for the richness of this pasta.

Question about xd mags
My husband just bought the XD subcompact 9mm, and had a question: is it bad for the springs in the mags to keep them loaded for extended periods of time?
Everything I have read says not to worry about spring fatigue just because it is compressed.
A fire extinguisher will only work when pressurized. Keeping all of your magazines empty will be of little benefit. I keep some mags loaded with HD rounds, and I have spares for range use.
I load my mags one short & leave them til range time, all of them.
doesnt hurt a spring a bit being compressed or uncompressed. the act of loading and unloading the mags is what wears the spring out.
think about it like this:
bend a wire and leave it bent and it wont break regardless of how long its bent it will stay in one piece until the end of time if corrosion isnt a factor. keep bending it repeatedly back and forth and eventually it will break.
Great! Thanks a bunch guys!!
Personally I keep 2 mags loaded with HD HP rounds and i have a total of 5 magazines. I tend to rotate my magazine occassionally so that way the springs aren't always compressed. To me it is just a piece of mind. Any real science behind it I'm not sure.
Do what makes you feel best :)
BUT-----ALL my mags are loaded 100% 100% of the time ;)
This comes up regularly, can we get it stickied?
(where is freudian slip thread again) :D
I have ran into stuck mags that were loaded too long while deployed. 92F mags obviously. I rotated mine on a regular basis after that. These mags were brand new and cleaned properly when put into use, all I can think to blame it on was spring fatigue. Just my 2 cents, not trying to be argumentative.

Acne.org Moisturizer by Daniel Kern
This is by far, my favorite moisturizer. It is thin, but super super moisturizing. I actually use it when I just need a little bit of moisture for my hands or legs. Acne.org's moisturizer is non-comedogenic and is fragrance and dye free. It is also produced in the USA and made and packaged in the most environmentally sustainable ways possible. Another bonus- it's not tested on animals. The moisturizer comes in 2oz, 8oz, and 16oz, and is extremely reasonable in price for the quality product you get. I HIGHLY recommend this product for anyone looking for the perfect basic moisturizer.

Cops could've averted incident?
It has now emerged that had the Delhi Police acted a little bit more professionally, the Saturday shootout could have been averted.delhi Updated: Nov 20, 2012 00:02 IST
It has now emerged that had the Delhi Police acted a little bit more professionally, the Saturday shootout could have been averted.
Forty minutes before the gunbattle, in which Ponty Chadha and his brother Hardeep were killed, the police had received a call from Hardeep and a police team had gone to the farmhouse.
Joint Commissioner of Police (southwest range) Vivek Gogia confirmed that a PCR call was received at 11:50 am but the team that went to the spot did not find anything. Sources on the other hand said that the police team did not try to delve deep and returned immediately.
"By that time Ponty's men had confined Hardeep's men and took over the possession of the farmhouse. The police team that went there did not put in much effort to know the reason behind the call for police help and returned after talking to Ponty's men," a senior police officer said.
Sources said Hardeep rushed to the farmhouse after he got to know about Ponty's men barging into the property. "Hardeep decided to inform police about the illegal activities of his brother. This suggests that the murder was not pre-planned, otherwise why would he call police?" a source close to family asked.
The source said the property dispute had not reached the court till now and their mother and community elders were trying to find an amicable solution to the issue. "There was tension in the family for the past couple of months. Efforts were on to find a compromise on the issue," he added.

What is Chagas Disease?
Approximately 5.7 million infected [1]
7,000 deaths per year [2]
Chronic Chagas disease results in significant disability with great social and economic impact including unemployment and decreased earning ability. In Brazil alone, losses of over US$ 1.3 billion in wages and industrial productivity were due to workers with Chagas disease.
Endemic in 21 countries across Latin America, Chagas disease kills more people in the region each year than any other parasite-born disease, including malaria. Patient numbers are growing in non-endemic, developed countries (eg. Australia, Canada, Japan, Spain, and the United States), due to increased migration of Latin American immigrants unknowingly carrying the parasite in their blood (see map).
Caused by the kinetoplastid protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas disease is primarily transmitted by large, blood-sucking reduviid insects widely known as "the kissing bugs" in endemic countries. Other ways of transmission are blood transfusion, organ transplantation, as well as congenital and oral transmissions.
Read more
The disease has two clinical stages:
– Acute (in which 5% of children die) characterised by fever, malaise, facial oedema, generalised lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly – often spontaneously resolves in four to six weeks– Chronic disease has two phases:
- Chronic asymptomatic "indeterminate" disease, during which patients can transmit the parasite to others while showing no signs of the disease, can last 10 years to life
- Chronic symptomatic disease develops in 10% to 30% of infected patients and most often involves the heart or gastrointestinal tract.
Chagas disease is a leading cause of infectious cardiomyopathy worldwide.
Patient treatment needs
Improved treatment options are needed for all stages of Chagas infection:
- A paediatric strength which is affordable, age-adapted, safe, and efficacious would cure patients early on in the disease.
- A new drug for chronic disease that is safe, efficacious, and adapted to the field, and ideally would work in both stages of the disease.

Tstisi Dangarembga's "Nervous Conditions" Book Review by Quality Writers

This paper explains that Dangarembga's novel "Nervous Conditions" shows the inequities created by a colonial government and by the perpetuation of colonialism through class division and gender dominance. The author points out that this novel is unique in terms of its character development and its relation to the personal experience of the author, an affluent native woman of Zimbabwe. The paper relates that the women of this book represent the internal societal struggles of gender inequality and patriarchal domination. The author underscores that the novel analyzes the impact of this gender inequality on the physical attributes of women by emphasizing that the road to acceptance in a strict, patriarchal society is through physical ailments.

From the Paper:"Nyasha's sage advice also portrays the hardships of recognizing the atrocities of colonial inequality. The author argues that the issue of colonialism is not observable cosmetically. Rather, internal examination of the family unit and gender interaction is necessary in noticing the elements left behind by colonial rule. Class segregation is obvious in Tambu's mistreatment during her educational career, but specific residual impacts of patriarchal colonialism is much more obvious through the role of the uncle, Babamukuru."

Changing of the guard will continue at British Open
Phil Mickelson unexpectedly captured the British Open last year in Scotland at the age of 43. Tiger Woods last won a Claret Jug at the site of this year's Open Championship, Royal Liverpool, in 2006.
They may be sentimental favorites, or players you want to see recapture some glory this week, but let's face it, the changing of the guard in golf will only continue over the next four days in England.
For a long time, I was a guy who believed Woods would get healthy and challenge Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major championships.
His body has betrayed him too often since that spectacular 2008 U.S. Open, however, and so have his nerves. Now all he can hope for is the occasional late-career major (or two) that fell into the laps of Mickelson, Darren Clarke and Ernie Els.
(Ironically enough, all of them won those majors in their 40's at the British Open, and a 59-year-old Tom Watson nearly won it in 2009 at Turnberry in Scotland.)
While Royal Liverpool will bring Woods good memories, and Open Championship venues might suit his decaying game better now than the three American majors, he's frankly not in major championship shape just yet. He's only played once since returning to competition after back surgery, and Woods has all but admitted he doesn't practice as much anymore.
Say what you want about golfers, you don't get to be as good as they are without grinding away on the practice range. It's a perishable skill – and it goes far more quickly if you don't keep sharpening the edges age and injury dull.
Then there's Mickelson, who you can also put in this conversation.
His five-shot victory at Muirfield was masterful, and incredible. In the 19 appearances he made in that major prior to last year, he only contended twice.
It wasn't just that, though. Mickelson had only won once a year since 2009, and he got that out of the way in February 2013. But, he was playing well going into the Open with three top 3's, including a hearbreaking runner-up at the U.S. Open.
But after that, he never really contended again in his final six tournaments of the 2013 PGA Tour calendar. This year hasn't been any better. In 15 tournaments he's missed the cut three, withdrawn twice and doesn't have a top 10.
Between 1997 and 2008 those two won 17 majors, finished second 12 times and third nine times. They were the best in the world.
Obviously, painfully, no more.
The problem is in golf, the casual fans needs singular greatness. (Or, a signature rivalry between two or three great players.) Let's face it – Mickelson was never Woods' true rival in his prime. Mickelson was just the happy-looking oh-so-close loser who provided a counter to Woods' steeliness and veneer of invincibility. But they won and contended enough that you could pick one or the other and know they were going to be in it at the end.
Now, not so much. And the new crop of "young" players (I'll count the Adam Scott's and Justin Rose's of the tour, too, who are both into their 30s now) is less than inspiring. It's because they all play the same, their swings look the same, they all act and react the same.
Perhaps that's what we miss most about Woods and Mickelson. Sure, they won – a lot – but they emoted. You always knew where they stood, good or bad. You could relate. You would get something from them – whether it was a Tiger Roar or a thumbs up from Mickelson.
The guys now? Meh.
It's funny to think that we've transitioned to the point where those two once dominant figures will become a "feel good, old guy" story when (if?) they ever capture another major. But, time waits for no man, and no game. It's too bad though – I think we'll always feel we didn't get enough out of that pair, despite 19 total majors won.

SM Energy has been rallying, but traders braced for a pullback yesterday.
optionMONSTER's Depth Charge monitoring program detected the purchase of some 8,000 August 75 puts for $1.30 to $1.40. Volume was more than 20 times the previous open interest in the strike, which indicates that new positions were initiated.
Puts lock in the price where a stock can be sold no matter how far it might fall, so they move in the opposite direction as the share price. They can be used as insurance on long bets or to speculate on a drop. (See our Education section)
SM fell 2.34 percent to $82.97 yesterday but is up 19 percent in the last three months. The Denver-based oil driller has been fighting back from a big selloff in February, when it reported worse-than-expected quarterly profit.
The next release on April 29 beat forecasts, and Moody's raised its credit rating one month later because growing production and reserves.
Total option volume was 34 times greater than average in the session, according to the Depth Charge. Overall puts outnumbered calls by a bearish 69-to-1 ratio.
