KALAMAZOO, MI – It took a colossal effort on the penalty kill, but Western Michigan University pulled out a win to move into first place in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association standings Saturday night.
Like Bowling Green did in its 3-2 win Friday night, the Broncos had to kill a 5-on-3 power play in the final minutes on Saturday.
With all three captains on the ice, WMU was able to fend off the Falcons for a 2-1 win, which moves the Broncos into a tie for first place in the CCHA standings with Notre Dame, which has lost three-straight after a 2-1 loss to Alaksa-Fairbanks.
The Broncos, who ended the Falcons six-game unbeaten streak, improved to 10-1-1 at home and are now 8-0 this season when holding opponents to 19 or fewer shots. WMU had a 35-19 advantage in the game.
"It was an intense game, like every hockey game is," WMU coach Andy Murray said. "They are a great rival and play hard. They have quality players and are well organized as a team. I like the structure that their coaches have brought to their game. Compliments to them, and compliments to our guys, too. We challenged our guys in our morning meeting to elevate their game; we were disappointed with the result last night, and certainly this has a much better feeling to it."
After WMU killed 35 seconds of a 5-on-3, BGSU pulled Hammond with 1:14 left in the game to bring on the extra attacker to keep the two-man advantage, but the Falcons could not score as the Broncos held strong on the penalty kill.
WMU (14-6-4, 10-4-2 CCHA) also got a power play goal from senior Luke Witkowski in the second period to tie the game.
"We scored a huge goal on the power play and we killed all of the penalties. I would say that's pretty good," Murray said of his team's special teams effort.
Western Michigan spent a lot of time and energy trying to get past Bowling Green's forecheck in the third period, but senior Mike Leone finally made the Falcons pay.
WMU's Justin Kovacs sent the puck in behind Bowling Green's net and senior Mike Leone picked it up brought it around in front of goalie Andrew Hammond and in traffic willed in a backhanded shot with 7:08 left in regulation to put the Broncos ahead, 2-1.
"I thought there was a lot of determination," Murray said of Leone's goal. "I thought Ben Warda (credited with the second assist) was instrumental in that goal. I also thought that Justin Kovacs may have played his best game as a Bronco. That's the kind of intensity we are looking for from Justin. It was a hardworking goal, made by a hardnosed player. A guy that knows his game was not at the right level last night and needed to be better tonight."
Leone said he wanted to step up and show some leadership in Saturday's game after he admitted to playing a below average game Friday.
"I didn't have my game last night (Friday)," he said. "I felt like I let my team down. I'm a senior, and I stepped my game up. We just had to focus on getting pucks to the net tonight. We all knew we could play a lot better. We just in the fight, and it was a huge win for us."
Bowling Green (8-11-5, 5-8-3 CCHA) lit the lamp first in the game as Ryan Carpenter extended his point-scoring streak to eight games punched in a rebound off a shot from Rusty Hafner with 7:25 remaining in the first period.
Bowling Green dictated the action for a portion of the first and second period, but the Broncos finally got aggressive with a little help from the power play.
The Broncos failed on their first two chances with the man advantage, but they looked sharp on their third chance and defenseman Luke Witkowski fired in a shot from the right faceoff dot that went low on the glove side of BGSU goalie Andrew Hammond and in for a goal with 4:13 left in the second.
Witkowski, a tri-captain along with Dane Walters and Danny DeKeyser, said he expected nothing short of a tough physical game from BGSU.
"They're a hard team to play," Witkowski said. "…Their record does not show what kind team they are. They are a bunch of hard workers and they have a really good goal tender. We expect every time we play them that it is going to be a battle, and it has been all four years that I've played here."
Western Michigan took a 10-7 advantage in shots on goal into the first intermission thanks to a flurry late in the period, but the Broncos opened it up in the second and left the ice after the middle period with a 25-14 advantage.
The Broncos were 1-for-6 on the power play. Bowling Green was 0-for-5 with the man advantage.
WMU saw its sellout streak end Saturday as 3,147 fans attended the game.

Queen of Sweden
David Austin Recommended Variety
Patent No. PPAF
Here we have a rose of exceptional freshness and beauty. The flowers start as charming little buds opening to half-enclosed cups - and gradually become more shallow but still incurved cups. They have a strict formality throughout, which greatly adds to their beauty. Their colour is the softest glowing pink with hints of apricot later. They are beautiful at all stages.
The growth is short to medium in height; rather upright and bushy, with small, Musk Rose foliage that is exceptionally free of disease.
This is an excellent rose for arrangement in the house; the flowers lasting several days in water. There is a light myrrh fragrance.

Bucharest (Nov. 13)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Juliu Maniu, Roumanian Prime Minister, received Dr. William Filderman, president of the Union of Roumanian Jews of the Old Kingdom, in an audience today to discuss pending matters. It is understood that the subject of the conversation was the possiblity of cooperation between the Union and the National Peasant Party, of which Maniu is the head, in the forthcoming parliamentary elections. No result was said to have bee reached as, according to a report, the Peasant Party declined to enter into an election alliance with the Union.
It is stated, on the other hand, that the Peasant Party is willing to include in its lists four Zionist candidates from Transylvania and four Jewish candidates from Bessarabia, principally for the districts of Kishineff, Chotin, Belche and Bender, thickly populated Jewish centers. It is also possible that the Zionist groups in Bukewina and in Old Roumania will cooperate with the Peasant Party. Should the proposal for an election alliance fail, it is possible that the various Jewish groups will seek to establish an all-Roumanian Jewish election bloc.

Under The Knife
The Whirlwind
The baseball season is often a whirlwind, though seldom in the way that we saw in St. Louis Wednesday. It seems like it was about a week ago that I was surprised the calendar had turned to June. Now, we're almost to August and football camps are opening, the trade deadline is looming and I've got 150,000 words behind me. The marathon that is the baseball season marches slowly on, the end not yet in sight but closer. Teams and players are falling by the wayside slowly, casualties in this column or Chris' or taken to task in Joe's. Some look to Kevin's for the future or Dan's for the reasons or Maury's to count the profits. There's nothing better than watching the baseball tornado course across the American landscape from our outsider perch with our inside sources. I hope you've enjoyed the ride so far and have strapped in for the exciting finish.
Powered by Ulysse-Nardin, on to the injuries:
Be sure to check out this weekend's BP Radio. We'll talk some trades, some injuries, and some Black Sox as we take our typical unique look at the world of baseball, BP style.

By Jemi Ekunkunbor
We arrived the Odumakins' home hoping to be able to convince her to wear a skirt and blouse or a dress for this photo shoot but the 2013 winner of the International Women of Courage Award would have none of it. We met a woman totally consumed by a passion to fight for the oppressed and the voiceless in the society. Having been beaten and her skirt torn by security operatives while leading a protest in 1993, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin has vowed never to wear a dress until "we have a Nigeria that works".
Born in Zaria on July 4th, 1966, the native of Delta State grew up in Ilorin, Kwara State where she had almost all her formal education. A product of Queen Elizabeth Secondary School, Ilorin, Joe obtained her first degree in English Education from the University of Ilorin in 1987. After her national youth service in the eastern part of the country, she returned to the University of Ilorin for her Master's degree in Guidance and Counseling in 1990.
Thirsty for more knowledge, she crowned her studies by completing her doctorate in History and Policy of Education in 1996. For her convictions and often speaking out against acts of injustice especially by people in authority, she has been in and out of detention several times.
She is currently the President, Women Arise for Change Initiative and Campaign for Democracy, two platforms on which she leads activism for change. Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin is the recipient of several awards. In 2007 alone, she bagged ''Hero of Democracy and good governance'' award by United Nations of Youth Nigeria, and "The Defender of Women'' award by Human Rights Now.
Was there something in your background that sparked off your interest in activism?
Well, as a young girl, all I wanted to be was a nun. One day when I was 14, my mother saw me filling the form to become a nun of Sacred Seminary. My father was in the UK then. I felt that when I am married to Jesus, in church I'll see a lot of people I can counsel. So she called my father and said, "Your darling daughter wants to be a nun". My father said, "Does she not want to marry? Apart from disowning her, when I come back, I'll put her obituary in the paper and that will be the end".
Well, after some days, I changed my mind and told my mum I was ready to go to school. That was how I went to Kwara State for my A'Levels. While there, I saw a poster – 'Left Wing Movement'. I went for their meeting and observed that the agenda had no opening or closing prayer. The people were angry with me and asked that they should throw me out. After about three weeks, I saw a member who invited me to come again and said to me: "Rev. Sister, this time, we would put opening and closing prayer." I went but this time, they were so violent with me and I vowed never to go back.
Then, I got to the University of Ilorin and people who knew me then used to call me 'Rev Sister'. One day, one of our very difficult Linguistic lecturers came to the class and called out a few matriculation numbers and asked us to see him. When we got to his office, again, he heard my friend calling me 'Rev. Sister' and asked me why I wanted to be a nun. I told him I wanted to be married to Jesus and fight for those cheated. He asked me if I have heard of Martin Luther King. I said I had a faint idea and I saw on his shelf, several books by Martin Luther King. He asked if I had heard about Malcom X or Nelson Mandela, who was still in prison at that time.
At the end, he gave me two books on Martin Luther King to go and read. One quotation that struck me is: "Our lives begin to end the day we keep silent about things that matter". This bothered me a bit. Two days after, the position of secretary for Women In Nigeria (WIN) was vacant. We had 'Manifesto Night' which then, was a very big event. We were three candidates that applied.
The first person was given about 10 minutes to speak. When it got to my turn, I started quoting Martin Luther King. Students were shouting. The third person never bothered and the first person stepped down. I became the secretary. That was how activism began for me in March 1985. After that, I became born again in the struggle and like everything that I do, I commit myself to do it and do it with all my life.
When you embark on these struggles, don't you fear for your life or consider family because you get arrested some times?
When I became secretary of WIN, it occurred to me that I may die in the struggle. So, I got a lawyer to prepare my will. She asked me what things I have. I said I have a mattress, two pillows, bed sheets and some books. I told her that if anything happened to me, the mattress and pillows should be given to motherless babies and the books to the University of Ilorin. When we go out, I usually like the fiercest part of the battle. The truth is, there is no fear that can deter me. I remember in August 1998, I was going for a press conference in Apapa when I started feeling funny because I was pregnant then. I went to the doctor who told me that I was having labour signs. I said to him: "Stop this sign. I have a press conference in Apapa."
The doctor told me that there was no way he could stop the sign; that I was going to have the baby within an hour. This was around 8a.m. Thankfully, my mother was around then. By 9.05a.m., the baby arrived. I asked them to clean me up; that I needed to go for the press conference. They cleaned me up and I left for Apapa. I got there, sat down with Pa Abraham Adesanya, answered a few questions and left. I came back to Omole. A lot of people did not know that I just had a baby because I have flat stomach.
You said you made a vow not to marry until democracy, so how did you meet your husband?
I said I was not going to marry because I didn't want any distractions. But then, in 1994, I was arrested and beaten to stupor. I sustained several injuries and was detained for two weeks. I was sick and at the point of death because I was stooling and vomiting. Doctors said I had typhoid. My father came with my mum to sign an undertaking that I will be of good behaviour.
By now, I had spent three weeks. I told him not to sign. After he left, they violently removed the drip and my vein popped up and they brought a big plaster to press it down. They handcuffed me to take me to Alagbon in Lagos. While I was being led in, I saw late Chief Gani Fawehinmi and he said, "Joe, what is wrong with you?" The security people would not allow him talk to me so he said he would not cooperate with them if this girl is not treated. Then, I saw one young man staring at me and chief said, "Yinka, don't you know her? This is Joe Okei from Ilorin." Yinka, the comrade, then said, "Is this the Joe Okei I read about. Is she not a man?"
Chief said, "No. She is a woman." I was still there when both of them were released so, he came to look for me. After some time, I was released and we continued with our activism. About a year after, we were somewhere drafting a state of the nation communique when suddenly Comrade Yinka told the other five comrades present that he wanted to discuss the state of his heart with this girl because 'I am in love with this girl'.
So he said: "Please give us five minutes. Let me tell you why I want to marry her and let her tell you why she is not interested in marriage. If she defeats me, I'll hands-off." They felt it was a comic angle. Well, at the end, they said he defeated me and he then said he was proposing to me. I didn't take him serious and we continued the struggle. A year and a half after that, in November 1997, 'The Punch' carried a story, "What Abacha has joined together, let no man put asunder." That was our wedding!
You and your husband are both activists. How do you keep the home front?
We met in the trenches so, we understand each other well. As a child growing up, I used to see my mum look after her home, shop and cook. I used to do all that but going to the market, people will stop me to tell me their problems: 'My landlord harassed me. What can I do…' So, I'll be in the market from 9a.m. resolving issues. By the time I look at the time, it will be 2p.m. – my whole day is gone! So, I started sending someone to shop for me. Then on Saturdays, I cook like seven different types of soups. I have chicken stocked in different forms – boiled, fried, smoked, grilled etc.
Do your children worry about you as activists?
They are old enough to know what is going on. They see me on TV. They have passion too for this and they see it as part of contribution to society.
Is this all you do for a living?
Not at all. I do a lot of other things. I teach on contract in some private universities. I do rapporteur work – locally and internationally. I help to edit. I package events. At the end of the month, I earn something so that the issue of compromise does not arise. It's because people see me at rallies that they think this is all that I do.
Would you say women have achieved much since 1995 when this agitation actually started?
Women generally speak the same language – silence, and breaking this culture is what a few women have tried to do. A lot of women are not empowered and they allow themselves to be used by politicians as cheer leaders. They bring them to clap at political rallies.
In terms of elective positions, we have tried but we need more. Many women don't support their fellow women because they feel they are too strict. We need women because they are the ones that can bring our issues to the front burner. We've had great women like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Obi Ezekwesili, Dora Akunyili etc. When they do well, we praise them but if they ere, we march against them. When the minister of the federal capital territory allocated N4billion to the First Lady's office, Women Arise arose and said the office of the first lady is not recognized by the constitution.
It seems you are always fighting one cause or the other. Do you find time for romance?
The truth is I am not a romantic person and comrade has accepted me the way I am.
What is it like being a tom-boy?
I grew up with three older brothers and a junior one. We lived close to a recreation centre so, we always went there to play. I played football a lot and later became a coach. I liked issuing red cards and yellow cards. I was also a hockey goalkeeper. I was also into martial arts.
When my father shopped for us, I always insisted I wanted what my brothers got – boxers, shirts etc. I'd cry if mine was different. I had low cut hair then. So, it wasn't easy stopping me. The time I really cried was when my father took my brothers to an all-male school in Ilorin and then took me to Queen Elizabeth School. I cried and cried thinking that my father hated me or else why would he want to separate us? It was his own way of trying to get me to be with other girls and do feminine things. Those hard things were the things I liked and my seniors in school called me basket of trouble.
Let's talk about your recent award and what you think it will do for you?
This award started in 2007 and the US Department of State has honoured 67 women from 45 different countries. It is for women that that have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and empowerment at great personal risk. I am the first Nigerian to get it.
Nine of us were honoured on March 8th and it was hosted and presented by Secretary Kerry and Mrs. Obama. It was an awesome experience and a wonderful day on global stage. I shared experiences with American women of international understanding who are engaged in similar struggles. I met with policy makers and those working behind-the-scene in the American establishment. It was a great pleasure to see the inner workings of a system that has given hope to the world.
What would this do for you?
This will further strengthen me to remain focused, not minding the distractions.
This agitation, is it like a calling for you?
This is total conviction. When I listen to the news, I don't sleep. I get worried that this country is not working. At times, I develop serious headache. How can an Alamieseigha be pardoned? I was in the USA when I heard that news. I developed serious headache immediately. Things like that are the things that bother me. When I see how some people are stupendously rich and you juxtapose that with the level of poverty, I get worried. When people bring cases to my office -a two or five-year old raped.
All those things weigh me down. So, the time one speaks out is my happiest moment. When I go for rallies and I have my kerosene handkerchief in my pocket and speak against injustice, those things give me joy. I am optimistic that Nigeria will be great again.
Activists have been severally accused of collecting money from foreign donors and come home fighting their government. Is money the bottom line for this struggle?
This is about conviction. In the 17 times I have been detained, people have come to me with money begging me to give up the struggle. When they make such overtures, I always tell them not to assault my collective integrity. Yes, there may be a few leprous segments of civil society, just like in other fields. You have people who have betrayed the cause. But for me, this struggle is my life. All the money in this world cannot buy my conscience. I want to see justice, fairness and equity reign. You cannot talk of peace without asking for justice. This country is like a volcano that will soon erupt.
So, when will this struggle come to an end?
When there is justice, fairness and equity. When human rights are guaranteed and when the system works.
When are we going to see Joe Odumakin wear a dress?
I used to wear dresses until 1993, when I led a protest. I was so beaten, my skirt was torn. It was a protester's scarf that fell off her that I used in covering myself. For four days, I was in detention and sat in one position .I couldn't recover from the pain. I swore that I will never wear dress or skirt until we have a Nigeria that works.

Biographical Information[edit]
Texas native Jack Conway spent thirteen seasons in professional baseball from 1939 to 1956. The infielder spent three partial seasons in the major leagues with the Cleveland Indians in 1941, 1946 and 1947. Jack was then sold to the New York Giants on January 16, 1948. During these four partial years, Jack appeared in 128 games and picked up 80 base-hits in 359 at-bats for a .223 big league career batting average. Conway also fielded at a .968 percentage during this same period.
His major league career ended on a strange note, when on July 30, 1948, he crashed into teammate Les Layton in right field with two outs in the 9th, allowing a ball hit by Bill Nicholson of the Chicago Cubs to fall safely and Andy Pafko to score from first base. Five days later, after making only one more appearance, he was demoted to the minor leagues and never returned to the Show.
Conway served three seasons (1943-1945) in the Pacific Theater of War with the United States Navy during World War II.
Jack spent twelve seasons in the minor leagues, starting in 1939, with three different teams, and hit for his highest average in his minor league career with a .313 average in 262 at-bats. One could say that Jack's best year in the minors came in 1949 with the AAA Indianapolis Indians of the American Association, when he appeared in 140 games and hit at a .255 clip with 13 home runs. He also fielded the shortstop position at a .957 percentage with just 33 errors in 139 games. He suited up for 859 games during his minor league time and had 3,015 at-bats with 776 base hits, that included 43 home runs, for a minor league career .257 batting average.
Jack managed in the minor leagues for three seasons in 1954-1956. After baseball, he was a house parent for several years at the State Home and at the Methodist Home. For his last ten years, he was a bus driver for Midway Schools. Conway died on January 11, 1993 at Waco, TX. Jack was 74 years of age.

We all know that clothes matter. We try them and buy them; we comment on them; we wash them, iron them, fold them, organize and arrange them. We feel sad when they fit tighter and tighter (and by "we" I mean me). And of course, clothes are vital to religious presentations and identities. For those of us who use Madonna's "Like a Prayer" video in our classes, we probably interrogate the difference of clothing between Madonna's sleeveless and skimpy brown dress that highlights her pale skin and the cross on her chest and the full choir robe – red and black – that covers just about all of the skin of the main black female choir singer. In a video that challenges variants of white supremacy (including Klanish burning crosses and a legal system that seems to assume black guiltiness), clothing works to enhance white exposure and black enclosure.
Pamela Klassen: I find work that takes a "social life of things" approach to dress most interesting. So, for example, there is fascinating research on the sari in colonial and postcolonial contexts, including a great article by literary scholar Nandi Bhatia that religion scholars might find particularly interesting for the way that it implicates Mircea Eliade in the Orientalist fetishizing of the sari in the West.

Follistim AQ
Generic Name: follitropin beta (FOL-i-TROE-pin BAY-ta)
Brand Name: Follistim AQ
Follistim AQ is used for:
Increasing the chance of ovulation and/or pregnancy in certain women. It is also used to increase sperm production in certain men. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Follistim AQ is a gonadotropin (human follicle-stimulating hormone, hFSH). It works in women by helping the ovaries to produce and release mature eggs. It works in men by helping the testicles to produce sperm.
Do NOT use Follistim AQ if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Follistim AQ, to other hFSH products (eg, follitropin alfa), or to streptomycin or neomycin
- you are pregnant
- you have heavy or irregular vaginal bleeding of unknown cause
- you have ovarian cysts or enlargement of the ovaries not due to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
- your testicles are unable to produce sperm
- your ovaries are unable to produce eggs
- you have uncontrolled thyroid, pituitary, or adrenal gland problems
- you have tumors of the breast, ovaries, uterus, testicles, hypothalamus, or pituitary gland
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Follistim AQ:
Some medical conditions may interact with Follistim AQ. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a personal or family history of blood clots, you have an increased risk for blood clots, or you are very overweight
- if you have had stomach or abdominal surgery, growths or cysts in your ovary, a twisting of the ovary (ovarian torsion), or you have fallopian tube problems or polycystic ovary disease
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Follistim AQ. However, no specific interactions with Follistim AQ are known at this time.
Ask your health care provider if Follistim AQ may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Follistim AQ:
Use Follistim AQ as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- An extra patient leaflet is available with Follistim AQ. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.
- Follistim AQ is usually given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you will be using Follistim AQ at home, a health care provider will teach you how to use it. Be sure you understand how to use Follistim AQ. Follow the procedures you are taught when you use a dose. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.
- Do not use Follistim AQ if it contains particles, is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial or cartridge is cracked or damaged.
- After giving the injection, cover the injection site with a small bandage, if necessary.
- Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and away from pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Dispose of properly after use. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain local regulations for proper disposal.
- If you miss a dose of Follistim AQ, contact your doctor right away.

Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- Follistim AQ may increase the risk of twisting of the ovaries (ovarian torsion) in women with certain conditions such as OHSS, pregnancy, and previous stomach or abdominal surgery. This could cause blood flow to the ovary to be cut off. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- The risk of ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus) may be increased in some women, especially those with damaged fallopian tubes. Talk with your doctor if you have questions or concerns about your risk for ectopic pregnancy.
- The use of Follistim AQ in women may result in multiple births (eg, twins). Discuss this possibility with your doctor.
- Do not switch brands or types of Follistim AQ or methods of administration without first talking to your doctor. Doing so may require an adjustment of the dose. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor or pharmacist.

Activating your recently acquired Droid and adding the unlimited data plan to your existing plan should be no problem. You will not be required to renew your contract nor will your contract upgrade/end dates change.
Good luck with your new smart phone.

Move over macarons! There's a new "it" pastry in town!
Paris. Thank you New York Times for reminding to write about the gorgeous cream puffs at the recently opened Popelini. A few weeks ago "Fireball" and I were wandering around the neighborhood trying to locate the white-hot taqueria-cum-speakeasy Candelaria (for future dining purposes) when we chanced upon a pretty pastry shop with an eye catching window display of uniform confections: cool cream puffs topped with solid colored icing arranged in perfect rows. We went in and bought just one vanilla pâte à choux, a rookie mistake as it turned out. The cream filling was so cold and dense that it felt more like a fancy little ice cream sandwich. What's more, it was both heartier and more refreshing than the puny macaron. We hadn't walked three steps up the road before we both nodded to each other and sheepishly turned back in for another, this time chocolate. Though considerably richer than its vanilla counterpart, we had no problem polishing off the chocolate one as well. The only thing that kept us from going back for a third was an overriding sense of patriotic shame. We simply couldn't be THOSE American tourists, hellbent on obesity at any cost!
Practical Info: Popellini is located at 29 Rue Debelleyme in the 3rd. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

1 John 3:18 "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."
Today we look at a verse we've touched on in past studies. When we remember to love the brethren, we have to remember that our love for our brothers and sisters should never be words alone. Yes, it's important to let them know with words that you love them, to help uplift them and let them know you care, in such an uncaring world. Yet our love must go beyond that! If we truly do love someone, we not only say, "I love you" but also show that love by being there always for that person, and seeking to help that person, to even be with that person! If we do have love, it extends from just words, and shows itself in deed . . . and in Truth!
The Love we have for our brothers and sisters, is the love our Lord has for us. He loves us in words, and most certainly in deed. Our Lord also loves us in Truth! So should we love in deed and in Truth! The world can have its fleshly love. The world has its flattering words. The world can even have its own love, shown in deed as well. But what separates worldly love from True Love, the Love of God, is that the Love of God is in Truth as well! The Love of God cares not only for a person's body, a person's heart, personality, and feelings. The Love of God cares for ever fiber and being that makes up a person, even to the very soul and spirit within. So should we have that love for our brothers and sisters. The world loves in ways that have a fear of offending. But the perfect love of God, casts out all fear (1 John 4:18)! We should love our brothers and sisters, in deed and in Truth, caring for their very souls as well. In caring for their souls we have to remember to love in Truth. If we see a brother or sister doing something wrong, let us tell that brother or sister in meekness, to try to lift him or her up. If they are burdened, help them carry the burden! Galatians 6:1-2 "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." We should love each other enough, to be truthful and honest with each other. We should love each other enough to care for each other's spiritual life and well-being! We must love in deed, never departing from the truth either! To not love in Truth, we hide the truth and, covering it, are in deception. Deception truly is lie and sinful, and is death. If we truly love our brothers and sisters, we will not seek to lay death at their doorstep, but rush to shine the light of Truth around them, making the demons flee and making the deception known for the lie it is!
Of a truth, we need to be sure that we love not in word or in tongue, but more rightly in deed and in truth! If we don't show our love, if it dwells only in our words, then what sort of love is that? It truly is a false love, that is just like hate wearing a disguise. In this, we are also reminded of how our faith cannot be without the Good Fruit of the Spirit. If our faith is only in words and not true, if our faith doesn't extend to producing good fruit, then truly our faith is dead! We can say all we want, that we are a Christian, but if we talk like the world, act like the world, dress like the world, LIVE in the world . . . what are we? The old saying, "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck . . . It's a duck!" can go for a truth: If we look like the world, walk like the world, sound like the world . . . we are the world!
Our love, and our faith, cannot be in words only. That is the same as hiding our candle under a bushel! What happens to a flame if you put a jar upside down over it? It will still shine . . . for a while. But then the oxygen which the flame needs, is quickly used up and that flame flickers and dies very quickly! In all this, so is our faith without works, and our love not being in deed and in truth. It is all dead, and useless to everyone. Love only in words, is useless both to us, and to those we speak it toward.
The world can put on a facade of love for us, all they want. They can say, "I love you" all they want. They can even go a little ways and show love in a few deeds. They can have those two things, and can put on a good show to deceive. But to love in Truth as well . . . that is where they cannot go. That is why we must have all three things in love: our words, our deeds, and in Truth. It is what separates us from the love of the world, and it is how we know that something is real Love. Try it on the world, if they say they love you, let them show it. If they show it, then let it be in Truth as well: rebuke them for their sins, but then immediately show them love in Truth, by telling them that if they wish to live, they must turn to Jesus to follow Him. They will immediately back up in fear of the reproving light of the Truth (John 3:19-20). My biological sisters sadly show this. They are fine and dandy until you introduce the Truth. For my birthday, I asked for only one thing: for them to go to church with me (it was Resurrection Sunday (Not Easter . . . I celebrate Jesus' resurrection that day, not a bunny), just for that one day, two hours out of the day. They refused over and over again. I let them know, I wasn't trying to force it on them, but wanted them to know, that if they so hate the Truth, each passing day as I saturate my own life with the Truth, to grow more and more in it, they will eventually hate me altogether. I tried to explain, if they so hate Jesus, they will naturally hate me. I believe they don't understand that, and I pray for their salvation, I pray for their coming to the Lord our Saviour. The world doesn't quite understand either, that love must be in Truth as well as deed and word. Naturally, the world doesn't understand it, but we should, and must likewise walk in it. We are not of the World, but of the Spirit! Let us love in deed and in Truth (In the Spirit, as the Spirit is Truth: 1 John 5:6)!
I love you so much, I truly do. I hope and pray that all is well with you, and that your day is greatly blessed! Daily I keep you in my prayers, as you are in my thoughts each day! May we walk in the love of God, which is evident not just in words, but in our deeds, and not even in those alone, but also in Truth, the Spirit of God! Let us care so much for our brothers and sisters, caring for their very souls, that they are not deceived by a lie, but know the Truth in all things! May God greatly bless you always, and may He guide you completely today in His Love and Spirit!
Love in Christ, Always,
Your friend forever,
And brother,
Psalm 148:13 "Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven."

10 Steps to Setting Up Accounting Software
Next, here are 10 steps to help you get started with each program.
1. Take advantage of the opening setup tools.
MYOB: MYOB's New Company File Assistant gets your company file started, while the Setup Assistant takes you much deeper. You start with general customization options, then move through each section (such as Accounts and Sales).
Office Accounting: Use the Quick Start window. After you have entered your company's contact information, selected your Chart of Accounts type, and saved your company file by clicking through the wizard, the Quick Start window should open. You can complete all of your setup tasks here, and not necessarily in the order in which they're presented. Or you can access the setup functions any time from menus.
Peachtree: After Peachtree runs you through its opening paces (fiscal year, Chart of Accounts, and so forth), it pops open a setup guide. You can either follow the links to some of the necessary steps or access them through the menus.
QuickBooks: Use the QuickBooks EasyStep Interview. This multistep wizard, which should take you only a few minutes to complete, starts you on the path to setting company preferences. It asks you questions about, for example, whether you'll be using inventory and paying employees, and if so turns those features on. But it doesn't do everything.
2. Set company preferences.
MYOB: Despite the depth of the automated setup, you should still go into the preferences window at Setup | Preferences. There are plenty of options to choose from there.
Office Accounting: Go to Company | Preferences. Most of this is self-explanatory. You're turning features on and off, setting a default interest rate and minimum finance charge, approving or changing assigned accounts, and so on.
Peachtree: Go to Options | Global to establish preferences for functions like spell check, decimal entry, and transaction sorting.
QuickBooks: If you've gone through the EasyStep interview, you've already done some of this work, but some remains. Go to Edit | Preferences, and click down the list, making your wishes known.
3. Secure your audit trail.
MYOB: In Setup | Preferences | Security, check the box next to Use Audit Trail Tracking. In the same window, click the User IDs button to assign access to specific parts of the program to individual users.
Office Accounting: If you want an audit trail, be sure to check the Use Change Log field in Company | Preferences. To give users access only to specific parts of the program, go to File | Manage User and Roles.
Peachtree: The audit trail in the Peachtree versions that contain it on and cannot be turned off. Go to Maintain | User Security to assign roles and permissions.
QuickBooks: The audit trail in QuickBooks is on and cannot be turned off. To assign user access, go to Company | Set Up Users and Passwords.
4. Establish your sales tax.
MYOB: This task is handled in the Setup Assistant.
Office Accounting: After you've set up sales tax codes, you can create groups that contain related codes that are often charged together. For example, if you sell products in Seattle, you could make a group that contains the local and Washington state taxes. You might also set up a code for customers in other states that don't pay taxes. Click Company | Sales tax.
Peachtree: Click the Customers & Sales button on the left, and then the Sales Tax icon. Follow the wizard to set up sales agencies and taxes.
QuickBooks: Go to Edit | Preferences | Sales Tax. Click the Company Preferences tab, and click the Yes button if it's not already selected. Click Add Sales Tax Item to set up your sales tax agencies, and answer the other questions in the window.
5. Customize your forms.
MYOB: Go to Setup | Customize Forms. Select the form you wish to modify, and use MYOB's layout designer tool, which helps you add fields and shift them around.
Office Accounting: Office Accounting lets you modify the templates included for forms, such as those for invoices, credit memos, and purchase orders. Click Customers | Manage Word Templates, and select a template type (say, Invoice) from the list on the left, then the precise document and color (for example, Invoice Servicegreen.doc). Click the Modify button and the document will open. Use Word's editing tools to add a logo or make any other changes you like.
Peachtree: Click Reports & Forms | Forms. Select the form you want to customize and click the Customize button. You can use Peachtree's layout designer tools to make changes to any of the forms supported.
QuickBooks: You can modify the boilerplate form templates that QuickBooks offers. Go to Lists | Templates, select the form you want to modify, and either click on the Templates pull-up list in the lower left-hand corner for options, or double-click on it. Use the customization tools and layout designer to make your changes.

PREP CROSS COUNTRY GIRLS: Experience fuels Dragon girls CC team
ADRIAN -- Qualifying, as a team, for the 2012 Minnesota State High School League's (MSHSL) annual state cross country meet was the overwhelming goal of four veteran Adrian High School girls' distance runners who have a combined total of 17 years of experience competing in the elite meet on the campus of St. Olaf College in Northfield.
AHS seniors Jordin Kopplow and Megan Sauer have each run in five state cross country meets, while junior Nicole Slater has been there the past four years and sophomore Morgan Sauer has completed the 4,000-meter course at St. Olaf three times.
With their talent and experience, each of the four was a candidate to qualify individually for this year's meet, but that was not what the quartet wanted.
"Getting to the state meet as individuals was not the goal that any of them had in mind," summed up fourth-year AHS head coach John Olson about his top four Dragons. "The team concept is very important to each of them and that's what they wanted -- to run again at Northfield as a team."
Thanks to a typical strong by each of the four at the Section 3A Meet (at Adrian, Oct. 26) and a better than anticipated fifth-runner performance from seventh-grader Anna Serrao, Olson is again taking the entire seven-girl team back to St. Olaf.
The Dragons, as this year's Section 3 team runner-up (behind Canby/Minneota/Lincoln), will compete in Class A girls' state meet at 11 a.m. Saturday on the familiar Northfield course.
Joining the Sauer sisters, Kopplow, Slater and Serrao Saturday will be freshman Jada Elias and seventh-grader Hannah Bullerman, who like Serrao, will be competing on the course for the first time.
After having won seven consecutive section team championships, the Dragons are coming in as a second-place team for the first time, but Olson is pleased about the opportunity for the girls to experience the challenge of the state meet, together, again.
"Megan, Jordin, Nicole and Morgan have logged over 7,500 in-season miles together over their combined years as varsity runners," emphasized Olson. "They have put in nearly 8,000 miles combined in their off-season runs and three of them (Slater and the Sauer sisters) have never missed a day of running between the first day of practice and the last day of the season (the state meet) through their entire careers."
With that kind of dedication as a base, Olson is optimistic about another good team performance Saturday.
"Getting one more run together at St. Olaf was important to them," he said. "I am so happy that they have that chance. I know that each of them will run the best race they are capable of running and we will let the chips fall where they may."
The chips have fallen pretty well for the Dragons at all of their seven state-meet teams runs, which include five state championships (four in a row from 2005-2008 and a fifth two years ago in 2010). AHS was fourth in 2009 and seventh last year.
Individually, Kopplow -- who missed much of last season with an injured foot -- has been Adrian's lead runner at the state meet three times and has finished as high as eighth overall (as a freshman in 2009).
Megan Sauer has been remarkably consistent at St. Olaf, being the team's second runner the last four years and has placed among the top 18 overall finishers (out of usually 150 or more total runners) at three of her state-meet runs.
In the team scoring two years ago, Kopplow (nine), Megan Sauer (11), Morgan Sauer (24) and Slater (26) teamed with Austyn Thier (19) to give Adrian a winning score of 89.
Thier and Hunter Heronimus were Adrian's only two seniors on last year's team.
Schandelmeier, Hohn lead area individuals
While the Dragons will be competing Saturday for both team and individual honors, Luverne's two outstanding lead runners -- eighth-grader Madison Schandelmeier and junior Makayla Hohn -- will be strong contenders for individual All-State (top 25) honors.
Both Schandelmeier and Hohn (who finished second and fourth, respectively, in the section meet) have had banner seasons for the Cardinals and are returning to run at St. Olaf.
Schandelmeier placed 28th overall last year as a seventh grader, while Hohn was 31st after finishing 37th two years ago as a freshman.
"Having both Madi and Makayla finish in the top 25 would be great," declared LHS head coach Pete Janiszeski, who finished 18th overall in the 1996 Class A state meet, a year after helping Canby/Minneota/Lincoln HI win the '95 state title as the Lancers third runner that season. Janiszeski ran three years in a row at St. Olaf, improving from 48th to 29th to 18th, during his sophomore, junior and senior season at C/M/LH in the mid-1990s.
Mountain Lake Area, a new combination of Mountain Lake Public and Mountain Lake Christian, will have two representatives in Saturday's girls' meet, as senior Whitney Klassen returns to St. Olaf, hoping to improve upon her 52nd-place 2011 finish and eighth-grader Liana Blomgren makes her state-meet debut, after qualifying as the eighth finisher (not from one of the two qualifying teams) in last week's section meet.
Kopplow and Megan Sauer have each earned a trio of All-State individual honors, while Slater (18th as an eighth grader in 2009) has been an All-State runner once.

406 pages
This well-written, detailed book includes an extensive resource and bibliography section with Web site references to traditional and nontraditional health care. The text is divided into three parts, the first dealing with normal thyroid and thyroid disease. The second part addresses thyroid- related issues and describes the interaction of thyroid hormone with other hormones in the female reproductive system that may impact menstrual function, fertility, sexuality, perimenopause, and menopause. The third section is dedicated to finding the solution that fits a woman's individual case once diagnosis of a hormonal problem is made.
The author, who is a strong patient advocate, has written several other books on thyroid disease, as well as other chronic conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Although I feel she favors the holistic and nontraditional medical alternatives, she does address the traditional approach as well in dealing with her main premise that "in this country we have an epidemic of undiagnosed and misdiagnosed thyroid disease," which, in her view, can be the root cause of other hormonal problems besides thyroid disease.
The author stresses that the symptoms commonly attributed to perimenopause and menopause may in fact be caused or aggravated by undetected thyroid dysfunction and therefore screening in those populations is important. In general, there is adequate coverage of issues important to the menopause transition (perimenopause) and postmenopause but there are statements that I feel could be scientifically misleading. In addition, the comments concerning medical and surgical procedures that can be used for treating various bleeding problems during perimenopause and menopause are brief and incomplete. The reader would be advised to get additional information from their personal physician or other sources that deal specifically with gynecologic disorders.
Even so, I feel this book meets an important need in regards to understanding thyroid disease and how thyroid function affects the other bodily systems. The book is reader friendly, makes good use of graphs and tables, and intersperses interesting testimonials throughout. I would recommend this book for those who want detailed information regarding thyroid function and dysfunction.

Do Southeast Asians have a better understanding of their region than Westerners? I've really enjoyed reading the highly praised novel by Tash Aw, Map of the Invisible World. It covers much of the ground of Christopher Koch's Year of Living Dangerously, although when the latter first appeared, Koch was criticised for basically reproducing a Western, colonialist, view of Indonesia. Map of the Invisible World is very well written for the most part, with highly poetic and moving passages evoking the sense of loss, separation and longing that moves and motivates the main characters. It captures much of the atmosphere of Jakarta.
Yet problems remain.
The novel's characters express the need for an understanding history, but somehow the novel is lacking in historical understanding, by which I mean that its representation of the historical context, and its attention to detail, is lacking. Aw gets correct one key fact usually ignored by other writers, that Sukarno's famous "Year of Living Dangerously" speech was made on 17th August 1964 (ie that year was over before the 30th September 1965 "Coup"), but he makes a number of other basic mistakes. Some of these are minor, and the kind of thing only a pedantic historian like me would worry about, for example that Jakarta's civilian airport in 1950 was at Kemayoran, not Halim (p. 68); and I doubt there were any self-flushing urinals, even in the most elaborate of hotels, at the time (p. 246)? Some are also geographically confused, for example the Great Post Road goes along the north coast of Java, not through Yogyakarta (p.109); and I am not sure about seeing lots of clove trees on Bali (p. 178)—wrong side of the Wallace Line.
Some of the changes were probably made for some kind of effect, for example renaming the Hotel Indonesia, but does this explain why the Welcome Monument in the centre of Jakarta is called "The Victory Monument" in the book (p. 212)? Generally, Aw is prone to presentism, as with the many references to heavy traffic in Jakarta (eg p. 19, "the never-ending traffic…a river of patched-up, rusting steel"). Such traffic may be the case nowadays, and at least since the 1980s in my experience, but those who can remember Jakarta in the 1960s comment on its lack of traffic (Firman Lubis' Jakarta 1960-an is a great memoir of the period). There was no parking ramp leading from the Hotel Indonesia, cars stopped on the streets (p. 250). And no one wore crash-helmets (p. 284). Dutch being deported from Indonesia would not have been sent my aeroplane, but by ship (p.68).
If these atmospherics are wrong, so too are some of the political issues. Political tensions in the regions are blamed on the Transmigration policy (p. 118-119). While this policy did indeed start in the 1960s, and drew on previous Dutch policies, it was very small scale, and only had a major impact on ethnicity in the New Order period. More serious is the depiction of the Communist Party of Indonesia sending death squads around the island from which Adam comes. These are at best creations of Suharto-era propaganda, but even Christopher Koch, who makes his Cold War politics clear, does not makes such blatant misrepresentations. Political violence in this time mainly came in the form of clashes over land ownership, and in clashes at rallies, not in systematic murder. The key character, Adam, is induced by radical activist Din to plant a bomb in the Hotel Java (ie the Hotel Indonesia) to coincide with Sukarno's visit to the hotel. There were no Communist attempts to assassinate Sukarno, indeed in 1964 this would have been the last thing the Party would have wanted, all the assassination attempts came from the Right. This kind of misrepresentation clouds the imaginative insights of the novel.
One of the criticisms of Western writers is that they cannot fully characterise indigenous figures, that they depend on focal intervening Western characters. The most engaging character of Map of the Invisible World, the most fully rounded, is the American academic, Margaret. Adam, the main Indonesian character, of necessity remains elusive, because the whole point of the novel is that he cannot get in touch with his memories and his past. One of the major Indonesian characters is political activist and terrorist Din. Din is very two-dimensional, and very difficult to emphasise with, his characterisation is probably the main weakness of the novel.
As a post-colonial statement, Aw's novel represents little progress on Koch's, or at least it demonstrates that "insiders" do not have exclusive insights into Southeast Asia.
Hi Adrian, I just chanced upon your review of Tash Aw's book. You sum up so well the key weakness of the novel - the 'atmospherics'. Having said that, it is so rare to read a novel in English set in Indonesia that I lapped it up. When he was in Hobart a while back I did ask him about some of the things you raise - why he changed the name of the Hotel Indonesia, for example, but he was very non-committal in his replies.
amazing book
Novel yang menarik tentunya, bisa nambah pegetahuan
Its a very nice Book.
Interesting post Adrian.
Having recently finished the book myself, I was also struck by the strong similarities with The Year of Living Dangerously.
As well as the overall tone, many of the settings and plotlines could have been taken straight from Koch's novel (not least the sub-plot of the duplicitous, communist Indonesian assistant [Din/Kumar]).
I agree with you that the Western characters are much more deeply drawn out than the Indonesians - Aw seems to make such liberal use of the Orientalist cliche about "inscrutable Asians" that his Asian characters barely seem to come alive.
Interestingly, though, when I interviewed Aw earlier this year, he insisted that despite living in London and writing in English, he still thought of himself as a Southeast Asian writer.
That doesn't really come across in this book or his first one - which reads more like a colonial-era novel.
Your point about "presentism" could also be applied to Aw's descriptions of KL as a gleaming, fast-paced modern city. I think that's more KL today than it is KL in the 1960s.
Very interesting post. I am constantly amazed at the different interpretations of post-colonial Indonesian history I encounter from people of different age groups here. Maybe it's an indication of how the history textbooks have changed and been rewritten along with the changes in government.
Just a quick question. Actually, cloves are a very common crop in northern Bali although I couldn't be certain how long for. Is it likely that they were a fairly recent introduction?

BOCA RATON, Fla. (March 18, 2012) - The No. 13 Tars (23-4, 6-0) finished off the three game sweep of the Fighting Knights of Lynn University Sunday afternoon, taking game one 9-0 in run rule fashion while squeaking by 5-2 in game two, needing three runs in the seventh to secure the sweep.
After the slow start in Saturday afternoon's game, Rollins came out swinging early Sunday, scoring three runs in the top half of the first in game one.
The Tars led off the game with back to back walks drawn by junior Aimee Halpin and sophomore Veronica Alred. After Halpin and Alred both moved up on a wild pitch, senior Monica Meadows drove in the first Rollins run on an infield single to third, scoring Halpin.
Alred and Meadows would both later come around to score in the inning thanks to a sacrifice fly and a Knights miscue respectively.
After Lynn went down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the first, Rollins would add to their lead, scoring one, courtesy of an Alred RBI double that drove in Halpin, to push to the lead to 4-0 after two.
After a scoreless third, Rollins poured it on in the fourth, scoring five runs on four hits. Both senior Hope Bitzer and senior Meredith Foster drove in two runs in the inning, with Bitzer plating two on a single to right and Foster doubling to deep left to drive in two more.
Starter Amye McIntyre (7-2) coasted the rest of the way, including striking out the side in bottom half of the fifth, to secure the win for her seventh win of the Year. McIntyre gave up just one hit while striking out eight in five innings pitched.
Kasey Murray (0-7) took the loss for the Knights as she couldn't get out of the second inning, giving up four runs, three earned, in 1.2 innings of work.
Meadows went 2-4 with two runs scored and one RBI in game one.
Game two was a completely different story as the Tars found themselves trailing for the first time in the series. The Knights used small ball to get to Rollins starter Bitzer, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first thanks to three bunts, a Tars error, and two hits, neither of which left the infield.
It wasn't until the third that the Tars were able to restore order. After Meadows drew a one out walk, Bitzer followed with a double to the left center field wall to score Meadows. Bitzer would then come around to score on a Lawna Hunter single to tie the score at 2-2.
Neither team would score again until the seventh. Halpin led off the inning with a walk and was sacrificed to second on a bunt by Alred. Meadows would follow with an infield single to advance Halpin to third. Meadows would then steal second to put runners on second and third with one out.
The Knights chose to intentionally walk Bitzer to load the bases to create a force opportunity everywhere, bringing up Hunter.
Hunter would answer the call, sending the 2-1 pitch from Lynn pitcher Missy Montgomery to right, just deep enough to score Halpin on the sacrifice fly to take the lead for good.
Rollins would add two more in the inning for good measure to put it out of reach at 5-2.
The Knights would threaten in the bottom of the inning but Bitzer (12-2) stranded two Lynn base runners to secure the win and the sweep. Bitzer went the distance for her tenth complete game of the year, fourth shutout, giving up two runs, zero earned, on six hits.
Montgomery (1-8) suffered the loss for the Knights, giving up three runs, one earned, on three hits in three innings of work.
Rollins will be back in action Friday, Mar. 24th, when they travel to Tampa to take on conference foe, the University of Tampa Spartans, in a three game series. Fans can follow all the action live on the Tars Sports Network at RollinsSports.com.
*Notes: Meadows extended her hit streak to eight games, raising her average to a team leading .400

WASHINGTON – The British science journal Nature has published online a Japanese avian influenza report that had been suspended because of U.S. fears it could used to wage bioterrorism.
The report by the Japanese team, led by professor Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo, suggests that the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian flu viruses that have been infecting birds in Asia since the latter 1990s have the potential to spread between mammals, including humans.
Last December, the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity urged the journal Nature to delete parts of the report due to the bioterrorism concern. It made a similar request to the U.S. journal Science over another avian flu study by a Dutch team.
In February, the World Health Organization recommended the two reports be fully published, while seeking to suspend their full release for the immediate future.
The U.S. board said in March the study would probably not immediately lead to bioterrorism, effectively withdrawing its censorship request, and the U.S. government in April allowed the reports to be fully published. The journal Science is expected to carry the Dutch team's report shortly.
The Kawaoka team found that viruses combining a gene called the H5 haemagglutinin with the remaining genes from the human pandemic H1N1 flu virus in 2009 spread between ferrets.
Wee small hours
Scientists have pinpointed a protein that helps explain why seniors frequently have to get up in the night to urinate, a problem that can badly interfere with sleep.
Deficient levels of a protein called connexin43 trick the bladder into believing it is full, which sends a "must urinate" warning to the brain, they reported Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.
Connexin43 is part of a cascade of proteins in the so-called circadian clock — the complex mechanism by which body processes crank up during daylight and slow down at night.
During sound sleep, a healthy person produces a smaller volume of urine from the kidneys than during daytime. At the same time, more urine is stored during sleep than during the active, daylight phase. But when there are lower levels of connexin43, the smooth muscles of the bladder become oversensitized to nerve signals that give a feeling of fullness, the study says.
Researchers led by Osamu Ogawa of Kyoto University made the discovery among lab mice that had been genetically modified to lack the gene that makes connexin43.
The chronic need to urinate at night, a condition called nocturnal enuresis, also causes bedwetting by young children.

Director Doug Liman has just attached himself to an exciting new production called Everest, a Sony Pictures production about George Mallory, a man who tried to scale Mount Everest three times in the 1920s, only to disappear during his third attempt. Deadline reports that the film, based on Jeffrey Archer's book Paths of Glory, will be written by Oscar-nominee Sheldon Turner, who co-wrote the George Clooney dramedy Up in the Air. Liman is an acclaimed director, having previously mounted films like The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and is apparently an avid climber, but we're a little scared for this production. Why?
Did you ever see the DVD or Blu-Ray release of Jumper? No? You should. There's a bonus feature on the disc called Doug Liman's Jumper: Uncensored, which is a refreshingly candid look at the production of the film, and which paints Liman's directing style in a discouraging light, particularly on a large scale production. His extemporaneous style leads to some great moments and a truly memorable tone, but it appears to have been very frustrating for everyone on his set. There's one bit where they're trying to shoot a sequence in the Coliseum (that's the Coliseum) and only have a few hours to do it, but can't find Liman because he's too busy shooting footage himself on a handheld camera. His productions of The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith were also famously troubled. So it's easy to imagine some potentially serious problems if he pulls similar stunts on Mount Everest, if indeed they'd actually shoot there (as opposed to working purely on a sound stage or against a green screen).
That being said, we'd love to see this movie. It's got a powerfully motivated lead character, potential for truly awe-inspiring set pieces and a strong director, even if he raises a couple of red flags. We seriously doubt it's going to be able to compete with Disney's upcoming Matterhorn movie, however, since that one also has yetis. Doug… Do you think you could throw in a couple yetis? That would be boss.
CraveOnline will be back with more Everest news… because it's there.

BONN (Oct. 11)
A bomb threat sent police reinforcements rushing to the Israel pavilion at the Frankfurt Book Fair on Monday. But business continued as usual during the final day of the fair.
The extra police protection did not put off potential customers, according to Menachem Biale, an Israeli official in charge of the pavilion.
In fact, said Biale, who works for Israel's Commerce and Industry Ministry, the 27 Israeli publishers displaying their wares have gotten high marks for their competitive products.
Many of the books deal with biblical or other traditional Jewish themes. The publishers said business was brisk, but cautioned that until deals are finalized — a matter of several months — the pavilion's commercial success cannot be assessed.
The Frankfurt Book Fair is the world's largest, according to organizers. Participation is a "must" for any publisher who hopes to do business on an international scale. This year, 7,965 publishers from 95 countries put 340,000 titles on display. Of that number 102,860 are new works.

Homemade Dog Food: Cost, Recipe Advice, Nutrition, and Storage
WebMD provides information on homemade dog food nutritional needs and supplementation, storage, recipe tips, and cost.
By Katherine Kam
Reviewed by Katherine Snyder, DVM
Forget the restaurant doggy bag. These days, more dogs are dining on their own patios, gulping down homemade dog food. "We have seen a steady increase in the number of people who are asking for help with making a homemade diet," says Sarah Abood, DVM, PhD, an assistant professor of small animal clinical sciences at the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine.
The trend toward homemade dog food began about 10 years ago, Abood says. Today, the "vast majority" of owners still feed their dogs commercial pet foods, she says. But she noticed stronger interest in homemade meals after the spring 2007 recall of melamine-tainted pet food.
Aside from product contamination scares, some pet owners believe that homemade meals are a fresher alternative to commercially manufactured pet food, she says. "There are other pet owners who have a lot of time and have a very strong bond with their animal and feel that if they're going to eat healthy, they want their animal to eat healthy, too."
Owners may also cook for their pets as an "expression of affection" says Claudia Kirk, DVM, PhD, DACVN, DACVIM, a professor of medicine and nutrition at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. "Pets are like their children."
Homemade Dog Food: Balanced Nutrition
So you're tempted to try home cooking for Bruiser or Muffy. What should you consider?
Whether owners are getting recipes from a book, the Internet, or through a veterinarian or veterinary nutritionist, one concern tops the list. "We want to make sure the recipe is going to provide something that is complete and balanced for the animal," Abood says. "From a nutritional standpoint, that is the biggest challenge that someone has when trying to feed homemade."
There are no magic foods or ingredients, Abood says. Rather, "dogs and cats, like people, have requirements for nutrients, not ingredients. You can step away from the whole idea that 'my animal has to have blueberries' or 'my cat needs to have fish.'"
Commercial pet foods are formulated to provide adequate nutrients, she says. But dog owners who make homemade dog food must make sure that the diet contains a protein source, a carbohydrate source, sufficient vitamins and minerals, and some fat. "Animals do have a requirement for a small amount of fat," Abood says.
Home cooks can combine protein and carbohydrates in various combinations, including lamb and rice, beef and potatoes, or chicken and pasta. "Carbohydrates are an inexpensive source of energy and provide some essential amino acids and fatty acids," Abood says.
In addition, "a variety of vegetables would be perfectly appropriate," she says, although veterinarians caution against onions and garlic, which are toxic to dogs.
Other foods to avoid: raisins, grapes, macadamia nuts, chocolate, and raw meat, which exposes dogs to risks, such as salmonella and E. coli. All meat should be cooked, say Kirk and Abood.
Although owners can find abundant recipes for homemade dog food on the Internet and in books, "I would really encourage pet owners to take those recipes to their veterinarian and ask if the veterinarian could help them figure out if it's balanced," Abood says. "Furthermore, owners doing homemade diets should have their pet and the diet evaluated at least two times a year."Owners should also remember that dogs in different life stages or with medical disorders may have very different dietary needs than a normal, healthy adult dog.
Owners can also seek out a reputable veterinary nutritionist to help them create a balanced diet, Kirk says. Often, these experts can be found through a nearby veterinary school, or may be available to consult with your regular veterinarian via telephone or the Internet.
For pet owners who want to find dog food recipes online, Kirk and Abood suggest web sites that are operated by board-certified veterinary nutritionists. But owners will have to purchase the recipes or supplements required to balance the diets. Kirk recommends a web site called Balanceit.com. "It's a little bit foolproof," says Kirk, who says that she has no financial stake in the company. Abood also recommends petdiets.com, another site where owners can purchase diets for healthy dogs or those with medical conditions.

All attorneys must be given a complete copy of the forensic reports in Supreme Court & Family Court. All orders for a forensic report should specify to preserve and retain any and all notes, data, test results, any and all other materials and items reviewed by the expert, and electronic recordings made by the expert or used by the expert in his or her forensic evaluation of the parties and the children until the end of the trial or settlement of the case and that all the above mentioned materials are to be brought to court by the forensic expert for trial and an opportunity to review all the above mentioned materials be given all attorneys (or their staff or retained expert) at the forensic expertâs office prior to trial. All clients must be permitted to read it in full and take notes. If a litigant is pro se, he or she must be given a report as is any attorney to be able to meet with a different expert if necessary or consult with anyone he or she feels necessary to prepare for cross examination. The Court can require the pro se litigant to not make copies and to return the report to court after settlement or trial unless an appeal is filed, then after appeal is perfected. Anything less prevents a full and complete opportunity to the constitutional right to confrontation and cross-examination.
