The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
I do believe SFP at pages turned nailed this one. (You'll only want to read her thoughts after you've read the book.) It's a short book, a novelette really, but the ending isn't . . . exactly. Hence the title.
The book is only 176 pages long, but it tells the story of Tony Webster's life from his perspective, which it turns out is somewhat skewed. Maybe. Tony doesn't "get it." The book raises the possibility that we're all like Tony, that our memories are unreliable and we really don't understand each other or the events of our lives very well.
The Sense Of An Ending won the 2011 Man Booker prize for literature. I think it well worth the the time invested to read it and think about it.
"How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but – mainly – to ourselves.â€
"We live with such easy assumptions, don't we? For instance, that memory equals events plus time. But it's all much odder than this. Who was it said that memory is what we thougt we'd forgotten? And it ought to be obvious to us that time doesn't act as a fixative, rather as a solvent. But it's not convenient— it's not useful— to believe this; it doesn't help us get on with our lives; so we ignore it.â€
"History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation."

I say "Hmmmmm! Sounds intriguing!"
Barnes is such a marvelous writer. I loved the book because of the way he uses language. And the ending does make you have to think about what you just read!

Sometimes all it takes is having an enviable position on an NHL team's depth chart. Players don't often make careers out of being a star by association, but that is exactly how career seasons are made. In the majority of fantasy hockey leagues, which play on a one-year basis, it doesn't matter that a player is looking to be stellar for only one season; this season is all that matters.
Tomas Kopecky has been a career checking-line asset for the Detroit Red Wings. He hasn't made a name for himself, but by playing sound defensive hockey and playing his position he became an NHL regular. Kopecky joined the Chicago Blackhawks last year and resumed his role as a third- and fourth-line regular notching a modest 21 points.
Fast-forward to the beginning of the 2010-11 NHL season and Kopecky has seven points in six games. Did he all of a sudden become an offensive force on the third line? No, Kopecky is the beneficiary of coach Joel Quenneville's new philosophy of spreading the wealth. While the Hawks marched to a Stanley Cup title last season on the back of a top-heavy offense, the team lost several assets over the offseason. Quenneville has taken a new approach by splitting up the former top trio of Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp and Jonathan Toews. What we have left is a top line with Toews, Marian Hossa and Kopecky.
To be perfectly clear, Kopecky would instantly become irrelevant to fantasy hockey if he were demoted back to the third line. But in the meantime, he is averaging 17-plus minutes of ice time per game after having a career average below 10 minutes over parts of six seasons. He has two multipoint games and only one game with a goose egg, and he is logging power-play time on the Hawks' four-forward first unit with Kane, Toews and Sharp.
In the meantime, Kopecky is a fantasy star.

Rising and Falling
Anaheim's top trio (up a combined seven spots): After registering zero points in the first three games of the season, Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan combined for six goals and 20 points over the next three games. There is no question about why these three demand such a high investment from both the Ducks and fantasy owners. Thanks to his propensity for penalty minutes, Perry is pacing all NHLers on the ESPN Player Rater this season and Getzlaf, thanks to an uncharacteristic spike in PIMs, is right behind him. Only Brad Richards and Henrik Sedin have more assists than Getzlaf. If you own one of these players it wouldn't hurt to try and do some creative trading to try and bring them together on your fantasy roster. Based on the early season this line is going to be one of the most, if not the most, formidable groups this season.
Tomas Holmstrom, Detroit Red Wings (down nine spots): Holmstrom remains pointless through five games this season. It has become apparent to the coaching staff as Holmstrom was replaced by Daniel Cleary and Todd Bertuzzi on the top line for parts of the past two games. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg will require an engaged third member of their scoring line, so if Holmstrom doesn't turn things around quickly he'll have a permanent checking assignment before long.
Tyler Ennis, Buffalo Sabres (down to NR): It appears, even with a Jason Pominville injury, the Sabres don't have much patience for Ennis. Drew Stafford has definitely shaken off the bust label from last season and solidified a top-six spot with five points in six games. But even with Pominville on the sidelines with a concussion, coach Lindy Ruff went with Cody McCormick for the final top-six roster spot alongside Tim Connolly and Jochen Hecht. It's not that we think the Calder candidate Ennis will fall off the radar completely, but he'll be in for more of a fight than originally thought. Hopefully we'll see him back soon.
Evander Kane and Niclas Bergfors, Atlanta Thrashers (up and down respectively): While these two are linemates, Kane makes his debut on the chart while Bergfors slides off of it. The main reason for the opposite effects, despite skating together, is the power-play unit: Kane is the focal point and Bergfors isn't on it. Kane, Bergfors and Jim Slater are arguably the third or fourth line for the Thrashers right now. Andrew Ladd, Anthony Stewart and Bryan Little are the de facto first line, while the surprising play of Alexander Burmistrov, Ben Eager and Chris Thorburn has the unit behaving as if it were the second line. Both Kane and Bergfors, in the end, need to tackle their own team's depth chart before they can really start climbing the rankings.
Marian Gaborik, New York Rangers (down 24 spots): Missing at least three weeks of action with a separated shoulder is going to be damaging to any player over the rest of the season. Gaborik doesn't fall too far off the charts, but his position remains precarious. At the first sign of any setback in recovery, he will plummet. We've all been burned too many times by Gabby's frailty to shrug off any sort of injury.
Mason Raymond, Vancouver Canucks (debuts at No. 98): Alex Burrows is skating again and eyeing a return sometime in November, but that still doesn't mean Raymond can't nail down the coveted spot next to the twins before then. To shake up their offense on Sunday, the Canucks plopped Raymond next to Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin while demoting Mikael Samuelsson to the third line. The result was a three-point game for both Raymond and Samuelsson. While Ryan Kesler still owns the rights to the Sedins on the power play and the looming return of Burrows with his air of incumbency are concerns, Raymond is a speedy winger who can finish off plays. No one sets plays up better than the Swedish twins. For at least the next few weeks, and maybe longer, Raymond will look to rise on the charts.
Scoring Lines
Cal O'Reilly, Nashville Predators: He hasn't erupted and caught anyone's attention yet, but O'Reilly looks to be relishing his role as the Predators' No. 1 center. Tucked between Steve Sullivan and Patric Hornqvist both on and off the power play, O'Reilly has four assists in four games.
T.J. Galiardi, Colorado Avalanche: It took a demotion to get Galiardi going. He has two goals and one assist in his past two games after failing to score in his first three games. He played in the top six to start the season, was demoted to the third line, but was back on the first line again on Saturday. He is one of the faster players on a team that really needs speed to create offense. Playing with Paul Stastny and Chris Stewart can only help his case.
Andreas Nodl, Philadelphia Flyers: As the Flyers remain dedicated to their killer playoff line from last season (Scott Hartnell, Danny Briere and Ville Leino), the team is left looking for someone to wing Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. Daniel Carcillo did nothing with the opportunity, so Andreas Nodl is getting a shot. Nodl hasn't shown too much promise, but winging two of the most dynamic forwards in the game can certainly help boost anyone's scoring.
Kyle Turris, Phoenix Coyotes: Turris is finally hitting the ice for the Coyotes after sitting the first couple of games. He hasn't done anything on the score sheet yet, but is being tested on lines with a combination of Shane Doan, Radim Vrbata and Wojtek Wolski. From that it is quite clear that coach Dave Tippett is hoping he clicks with some of the team's top scorers.
Anthony Stewart, Atlanta Thrashers: Chris Stewart broke through with a huge scoring season for the Colorado Avalanche last season. His brother, Anthony Stewart, is three years his senior and hasn't really broken through in the NHL after toiling for the Florida Panthers and then the Atlanta Thrashers. Both Chris and Anthony played their junior career with the OHL's Kingston Frontenacs and Chris finished with an impressive 1.06 points per game over three seasons. Over four seasons, Anthony didn't finish too far behind with 0.96 points per game. The pair also have comparable AHL statistics (0.56 PPG for Chris and 0.47 PPG for Anthony). Could it be that Anthony is finally catching up to his younger brother? Not only does Anthony have a hat trick under his belt to total four goals in five games this season, but he looks terrific on the ice with the Thrashers' best line, including Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little. Like his brother Chris, Anthony is a big, physical winger, so it's just a matter of seeing if he can also add the scoring touch now that he is in a good situation. He has the early lead in goals as Chris has only three.
Power Plays
Matt Cullen, Minnesota Wild: Last week I put Matt Cullen here on spec. This week I'm repeating the recommendation because he leads the NHL with five power-play points. He is a fantastic power-play quarterback as the fourth forward on the ice and now with Marek Zidlicky's awesome shot beside him it's easy to see why the Wild are pacing the league with a 38 percent conversion rate on the man advantage. It looks like coach Todd Richards' expertise on the power play is starting to pay off. You might want to also have a look at Antti Miettinen if you need help on the power play.

Original Xbox games lose Xbox Live access on April 15
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,
Check it out, Microsoft just announced that all games made for the original Xbox will no longer be able to access the Xbox Live service as of April 15, 2010, and we couldn't be happier with the news. No, we don't hate classics like Halo 2, but the thing is, those titles are many years old, and they've been holding back the full potential of Xbox Live for far too long. As an example, it's no secret that we hate the Xbox Live friend limit, and the major reason it exists is because of Halo 2. With Halo 2, and all the rest of the original Xbox games, being denied access to Live, Microsoft will be able to stop worrying about those original Xbox restrictions - and that means, among other things, that we should finally see that friend limit jacked up, if not removed entirely.
It should be noted that, even if you downloaded original Xbox games on your Xbox 360 using Games on Demand, even those won't work when you try to connect to Xbox Live. It's just the nature of the beast, and it's all in the name of progress.

Yoga For The Throat Chakra
The throat chakra governs self-expression and your ability to communicate effectively. Known as the vishuddha chakra, the fifth chakra is associated with the mouth, thyroid, and respiratory system, namely the lungs. Symbolized by the color blue, when the throat chakra is balanced you're confident and able to express yourself to others clearly and effectively.
Yoga for the Throat Chakra, Yoga for All Chakras
Adopting a routine yoga practice benefits not only your physical health, but also your emotional, spiritual, and psychological well-being. Postures, also known as asanas, intended to benefit individual chakras ultimately help the entire chakra system. As you open and balance one chakra, the remaining chakras thrive from the energy flow that is created.
Basic Yoga Asanas For The Throat
Yoga poses, or asanas, are designed to improve the body's strength and flexibility. Derived from the Sanskrit word, asanam, which means "seated posture," asanas for the throat chakra help remove blockages and allow you to discover the confidence to speak your inner truth.
In order to open and foster healthy energy flow through the throat chakra, consider incorporating backbends and inversions into your practice. Here are a few to get you started:
- Fish (Matsyasana) — Not only does this pose stretch the neck, it also strengthens the neck muscles needed to balance and stimulate the throat chakra.
- Plow (Halasana) — This position stretches the spine and shoulders as it stimulates the thyroid gland and activates the fifth chakra.
- Supported Shoulderstand (Salamba Sarvangasana) — Benefiting the shoulders and neck, the supported shoulderstand is another pose that's great for stimulating the thyroid gland and opening the vishuddha chakra.
- Upward Plank (Purvottanasana) — As you stretch your shoulders and arms in upward plank, ease your head back to dispel blockages and open the fifth chakra.
- Bridge (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana) — Stretching the spine, chest, and neck, bridge stimulates the thyroid and lungs and helps open and activate the throat chakra.
- King Pigeon (Kapotasana) — This backbend stretches the entire front of the body, including the throat. By easing your head back, you're opening the throat chakra to allow for healthy energy flow.
- Child's Pose (Balasana) — Considered a restorative asana, child's pose relieves neck tension and pain, which contribute to blockages in the throat chakra.
- Supported Headstand (Salamba Sirsasana) — Although it's intended to strengthen the arms, legs, and spine, the supported headstand also strengthens the lungs and stimulates the throat chakra.

Another Effort to Silence Dissent
Banning the term 'Nazi' from public discourse is an infringement on freedom of expression and has no place in a democracy.
A bill approved by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation this week, which would make any use of the word "Nazi" or of Nazi symbols a crime, is yet another step in the government's efforts to stifle criticism. This legislation – like the so-called nonprofits bill (which seeks to impose financial penalties on foreign donations to certain NPOs) or the "Boycott Law" (which penalizes people who call for anti-Israel boycotts) – infringes on freedom of expression and has no place in a democratic country.
Under this bill, anyone who calls someone else a Nazi, or any other name "connected with Nazism or the Third Reich in Germany or any of its leaders, or a word that sounds similar to the word Nazi," could face a sentence of up to half a year in prison, as well as a fine of 100,000 shekels ($28,600). The bill would also ban the use of Nazi symbols like the swastika, except "in the context of teaching, documentation or historical reports," as well as the "inappropriate" use of Holocaust symbols such as the yellow star or clothing resembling that worn by concentration camp inmates.
The term "Nazi" is used in Israeli discourse as a rhetorical device meant to shock the listeners. Even though in many cases such rhetoric is unwarranted and repellent, Israel, of all places, must allow criticism of acts and opinions that are reminiscent of those of the Nazis. And it certainly shouldn't forbid this by law.
Existing law provides more than enough tools for dealing with incidents in which the use of Nazi symbols or terminology constitutes incitement to violence or serves as a means to deny the Holocaust. Moreover, anyone who thinks his reputation has been harmed by being called a Nazi is entitled to sue the person who used that term against him under the libel laws, as has indeed been done in the past.
If it's possible to imagine a public interest that such a law might conceivably serve, it is only the need to avoid hurting the feelings of Holocaust survivors. Preventing harm to survivors' feelings is indeed very important, but even that isn't enough to justify an absolute ban on the use of certain words.
Moreover, the bill's prohibition on the "inappropriate" use of Holocaust symbols is such a vague prohibition, and so contrary to the principles of law, that it borders on unconstitutionality. A criminal offense, as opposed to a disciplinary one, cannot be worded so vaguely.
Freedom of expression isn't tested by inoffensive statements, and criminal law isn't a guide to good manners. It's permissible to be outraged by harsh, hurtful statements, but it's forbidden to silence them by defining them as a criminal offense.

Strategy Analytics: GaAs Device Revenue Grows in 2012
Skyworks and WIN Semiconductors Lead the Way but CMOS Threat Looms
Mar 19, 2013, 12:50 ET from Strategy Analytics
BOSTON, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Growth in the last quarter of 2012 pulled GaAs device revenue to a slight gain for 2012. The Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service (GaAs) Insight, "GaAs Device Industry Closes up in 2012", explores GaAs device revenue growth and trends. It also presents the revenue performance of leading GaAs device manufacturers and foundries like RFMD, Skyworks, TriQuint Semiconductor, Avago Technologies and WIN Semiconductors.

The Insight concludes that handset growth, particularly smartphones, is responsible for most of the revenue growth in the GaAs device market. As data consumption continues to soar, handsets will remain the primary driver for GaAs device growth. In the short-term, revenue in the GaAs device market is expected to exceed the historical average. In the longer term, the Insight points out that recent developments in CMOS multi-mode, multi-band handset PAs from Qualcomm and others will pose a significant threat to the GaAs device market.
"Smartphones continue to grow faster than the overall handset market. This growth, coupled with more bands and increased GaAs device content remains the single biggest driver for revenue growth in the GaAs device market," noted Eric Higham, Director of the Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service (GaAs). "In the short-term, we anticipate this combination of factors will drive GaAs device revenue growth above historical averages."
Asif Anwar, Director, Strategy Analytics Strategic Technologies Practice, added, "Strong growth in the last quarter of 2012 provides a good starting point for the GaAs industry in 2013. However, recent announcements about CMOS multi-mode, multi-band PAs and envelope tracking will threaten the GaAs device market and these developments will be monitored closely."

That's an interesting time in which to be all for life, yet, once born, that life is virtually on its own.
Republicans keep me in stitches. They'll predictably trot out familiar old bromides like "Live free or die" or "It's every man for himself." Even I, on occasion, can be susceptible to such infantile gibberish. Yes, sometimes my latent libertarian nature reflexively embraces simplistic nonsense. "Don't expect the government to do for you what you should do for yourself!" Republicans regularly run that one up the flagpole for real Americans to salute.
Republicans love all humanity until it is born. Un-huh, life is sacred! They get all warm and fuzzy inside at the thought of a zygote attaching to a woman's uterine wall. It makes them weak in their knees and teary-eyed, however, imagining that process interrupted, aborted, if you will.
Oh, and then the wailing begins just like in Maurice Sendak's "Where The Wild Things Are":
They roared their terrible roars! And gnashed their terrible teeth! And rolled their terrible eyes! And showed their terrible claws!
Republicans do exactly that at the thought of coitus interruptus, or, rather, zygotus abortus.
What is it about women and their uteruses that gets Republican men all atwitter and flummoxed? They cannot keep their minds (or laws) off of a woman's body. Ironically, they applaud corporations as having the same rights as people but think little of eviscerating a woman's right to reproductive choice. What is it about women? Are women too stupid to manage their own affairs (their own bodies)? Why is it that Republicans are for the government getting the hell out of regulating business yet they are perfectly OK regulating a woman's fertility, her sexuality? What's up with that?
Guys, this might be tough for you. Imagine a scenario where it is you who actually becomes pregnant. You're still the independent operating, functioning individual you've always been but you find yourself pregnant. As a man, how well would you cotton to the government telling you what to do with your body?
According to Republicans, you don't even own your body; it's the government's to regulate. Does that scenario sit well with you as a man? Then why should our sisters, daughters, wives or lovers put up with such intrusions in their personal lives? No self-respecting man would ever countenance such invasive, intrusive oversight. So, why should America's women?
Oh, it is argued because Republicans "wuv" all life, particularly the unborn. That's an interesting time in which to be all for life, yet, once born, that life is virtually on its own. Irony, hypocrisy, anyone?
Crack whores. Impoverished, destitute homeless women. Raped sisters. Poor women. Third-year medical students. Graduate students. Mothers already nurturing five children. Older women. Unhealthy women. The mentally disturbed. Sixteen-year-olds. Any woman, no matter her circumstances, no matter her wishes or desires, no matter her rights as a free individual — all pregnant, all menstruating women will be regulated by the federal or state government. A woman will give up her independence, she will forfeit her freedom, she will willingly subject herself to the authority of the state.
I once served on the Orlando Planned Parenthood Board of Directors. At that time there was an alternative facility next door purporting to assist pregnant women. They'd persuade "some" to take the fetus to term with the assurance of long-term help. The long-term help consisted of two-dozen Pampers. Oh, and a "Good luck, gal!"
Real Republican values, folks. Found in two dozen diapers.

Feasibility study of three-nerve-recognizing Lichtenstein procedure for inguinal hernia
Background: Inguinal nerve identification during open inguinal hernia repair is associated with less chronic postoperative pain.However,most Dutch surgeons do not identify all three inguinal nerves when carrying out this procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a nerve-recognizing Lichtenstein hernia repair and to measure the extra time required for surgery Methods: Forty patients with primary inguinal hernia were operated on following the nerve-recognizing Lichtenstein hernia repair by four experienced hernia surgeons from four different Dutch teaching hospitals. The additional time needed to identify each individual nerve was recorded, and iatrogenic nerve injuries and anatomical characteristics were registered. Results: Identification of the iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves was each performed within 1 min. Identification of the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve was notably more difficult but could usually be performed within 2 min. Identification of the cremasteric vein, running parallel to the genital branch, was less comprehensive. The incidence of major anatomical variations was low. Twenty-five per cent of ilioinguinal nerves, however, could not be identified. In five patients inguinal nerves were damaged iatrogenically during standard manoeuvres of the Lichtenstein hernia repair. Conclusion: Three-nerve-recognizing Lichtenstein hernia repair is feasible and non-time consuming if the surgeon has appropriate anatomical knowledge. In view of the low incidence of major anatomical variations, knowledge of standard inguinal nervous anatomy should be adequate. This procedure could enable the surgeon to prevent or recognize iatrogenic nerve damage and offer an opportunity to perform deliberate neurectomy as an alternative to accidental nerve injury.

2015 CMT Music Awards Winners
The announcement of the 2015 CMT Awards winners began early Wednesday night (June 10) with a couple of tomatoes.
The announcement of the 2015 CMT Awards winners began early Wednesday night (June 10) with a couple of tomatoes.
The Band Perry was an early winner at the 2014 CMT Music Awards, nabbing Group Video of the Year for their up-tempo song 'Done.' But Florida Georgia Line were the big winners, taking home two belt buckles.
Tonight is the 2014 CMT Music Awards! Dierks Bentley will be one of the performers, and he talks in an interview about what you can expect!
Kristen Bell has signed on to host the CMT Music Awards for the third year in a row! The 'Frozen' star is heading to Nashville to host the 2014 awards on June 4 and she took to Twitter to express her excitement.
The 2014 CMT Music Awards nominees have been announced, and Miranda Lambert is the woman to watch, leading nominations with an astounding six nods, while Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line are tied at five apiece.
For me, one of the biggest highlights of the CMT Music Awards was Little Big Town's performance of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain'. You can't beat this performance for pure vocal power and harmonies, plus adding Keith Urban on guitar is always a great thing (just ask Tim McGraw). Remember, we still have plenty of room on our Country Fest Express to see Little big Town 'live June 29th. Just listen to win.
One of the rowdiest performances Wednesday at the CMT Music Awards was when Florida Georgia Line brought out Nelly to do the song 'Cruise'. It's already a #1 country hit for the duo, and the remix with Nelly is quickly climbing up the pop charts.
Carrie Underwood fulfilled her promise to turn her performance of 'See You Again' at the CMT Music Awards into a tribute to the lives lost in the Oklahoma tornadoes.
Jason Aldean opened the 2013 CMT Music Awards with a blistering hot performance alongside rocker Lenny Kravitz. The two may have never performed live together before, but their version of 'American Woman' showed no flaws. Kravitz shredded while Aldean took his turn at the classic song's verse and chorus. It was the beginning to a eclectic night of live music.
After a rendition of 'Islands in the Stream,' Sheryl Crow and the legendary Kenny Rogers presented the Video of the Year at the 2013 CMT Music Awards.
Not every woman gets the opportunity to present her husband with a coveted award. But at the 2013 CMT Music Awards, Miranda Lambert had that opportunity when she announced that her husband, Blake Shelton, won Male Video of the Year for his smash hit 'Sure Would Be Cool if You Did.'
Jason Aldean certainly debuted his new single 'Night Train' with a celebratory bang as he hit the stage at the 2013 CMT Music Awards. In fact, the sky literally lit up while he played, as fireworks were involved, making it a spectacular display of country music and pyrotechnics.

Roma target Scapuzzi staying at Man City
Manchester City forward Luca Scapuzzi will remain at the club next season despite being linked with a return to Italy, according to his agent.
Reports claim new Roma coach Zdenek Zeman has been monitoring the 21-year-old, who made a pair of appearances for Roberto Mancini's side in the League Cup before loan spells at League One side Oldham and Championship strugglers Portsmouth.
"Luca will remain at Manchester City," Scapuzzi's agent Giuseppe Riso said to www.tuttomercatoweb.com. "He will join City in pre-season training.
"Zeman's interest? He likes the player but we have never spoken.
"Luca's aim is to confirm himself at City."
Scapuzzi began his youth career at AC Milan and joined City from Portogruaro last summer.

|SQ3R Method
|Reading Tips
The SQ3R Method
Textbook Reading
SQ3R is an approach to reading that covers the two main parts of reading a textbook: Pre-reading and the actual reading of the chapter. SQ3R stands for:
S = Survey
Q = Question
R = Read
R = Recite
R = Repeat
STEP ONE: Survey
The survey step occurs in the Pre-read portion of the chapter. You should spend 5 to 10 minutes on this step depending on the complexity of the material. The acronym TRIMScan help you remember what to cover as you pre-read the chapter.
T = Title
R = Relationships
I = Introductions
M = Main heading
S = Summary
You survey the chapter by reading the following portions:
Title: Read the title so you know what the chapter is about.
Relationships: Ask yourself: How does the chapter relate to lectures? To what you all ready know? This step gets you thinking.
Introduction: Read the introduction to learn the main idea(s) of the chapter.
Main heading: Briefly read the main headings to learn the topic(s) that will be covered in the chapter.
Summary: Read the summary at the end of the chapter and any other material that might help you, such as Key Terms and Study Questions.
STEP TWO: The Chapter
After completing STEP ONE, you are prepared to read the chapter one section at a time using Question, Read, Recite, and Repeat.
Question – Form a question using the heading as a starting point. Use who, what, where, when, why, and how to create your question about the topic.
Read the section to find the answer to your question.
Recite your answer by writing it down in the margin or one a separate sheet of paper.
Tips: There may be more than one important point to each section, so make sure you ask enough questions.
Repeat this process for the subsequent sections of the chapter.
You are creating mini-chapters by breaking the text into smaller sections. You can take breaks at the end of a section without losing your concentration.
- Read with your lecture notes next to you (see below) so that you can see how the lecture and reading fit together.
- If the chapter has a number of Vocabulary Words, be sure to look them up after you read the chapter. Doing so will give you another opportunity to greater understand what you've read.
- Highlight important information in your text after you have read a passage or a paragraph.
- Highlight important facts and examples. Make examples with "ex." in the margin.
- Highlight complete ideas rather than isolated words. Test yourself by reading only the highlighted material.
- Limit highlighting to ¼ of the page. Save time by using brackets to emphasize long, important passages.
- Create "target questions" to help you read actively. Take the headings and subheadings in your text and reword them into open-ended (how, why, what, etc.) questions. As you read, highlight the answers to your questions. When reviewing your textbook later, you can quiz yourself from your target questions to see how much information you recall.
- Circle vocabulary words, important concepts, names and dates to help you recall them.
- Make lists of related concepts by either numbering them in the margin (e.g., 1, 2, 3 ... ) or circling them within the text. Label the lists with descriptions in the margin (e.g., "5 reasons," "3 examples").
- Use abbreviations and symbols in the margin to mark important ideas. Examples of these include:
- def = definition
- imp or ! = important idea
- ? = question about information
- sum = summary
- T = possible test questions
- lect. = lecture information
- Write "trigger words" (major topics, key terms and questions) in the margins that summarize the information. These can either be brief restatements of the material in your own words or questions about the material.

Many pro-family groups let out a collective sigh of relief today as the office of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that the former actor plans to veto a bill which would have allowed for same-sex marriage in the state, citing a respect for "the will of the people."
AB 849, which passed the State Assembly Tuesday evening, and the State Senate last week, made California's state legislature the first such body in the country to approve a bill allowing for same sex marriage.
The move outraged pro-family groups who argued that passage of the bill effectively negates Proposition 22, which passed a statewide vote in 2000 with 61% of the population affirming that "Only marriage between a man and a woman be valid or recognized in California."
Many have pointed out that the California State Constitution prohibits lawmakers from repealing or amending voter-approved initiatives.
Gubernatorial Press Secretary Margita Thompson issued a statement today which said that while Gov. Schwarzenegger "believes that gay couples are entitled to full protection under the law and should not be discriminated against based upon their relationship", that he "believes the matter should be determined not by legislative action--which would be unconstitutional--but by court decision or another vote of the people of our state."
"We cannot", the statement continued, "have a system where the people vote and the Legislature derails that vote. Out of respect for the will of the people, the Governor will veto AB 849."
Currently pro-family groups are working to put a measure on the 2006 California State ballot which would make marriage between anyone other than one man and one woman unconstitutional.

A Theory of Inflatable Universes, or What Can Be Seen in Bubble Bath…, 2011
ink on paper, Dimensions Variable, Duration Variable
The drawings from the series A Theory of Inflatable Universes, or What Can Be Seen in Bubble Bath…make reference, on one hand, to the famous theory, formulated by Alan Guth and further developed by Andriey Linde, concerning the initial model of the universe which would lead to the formation of the one we know today. On the other hand, they lead to a simple situation which can be observed in the bath tub. The elaborate form of the drawings constitutes a genus of meditation.
They indicate the multiplicity of theories; the power of imagination, but also they expose the weaknesses of the theories.

Got up today started the scag to put on the trailer and get the rear tires on the ramp and it dies and would not start again, & had 10 mows to do today too. Take it 20 miles to my dealer to drop off to fix it and find out he dropped the scag line. So i had to call my mom to see if i could use her Lt160 deere tractor. needles to say now i have to mow on sat now since i was only able to get half done. SO the point is Get A Back-up mower even if its only a 36" WB that way you wont have to skip mows due to your only one being in the shop.

Tick tock
Scientists at UCLA have discovered a new "biological clock" that measures the age of human tissue. If future testing proves the research valid, the work has strong implications for anti-aging-research. Note: the goal is not to seek a fountain of youth, but to assist with diagnosing and treating disease.
Interesting findings include: women's breast tissue ages faster than the rest of the body; cancerous tissue is on average 36 years older than other tissue.

The Lightning Strike! Micro PRO 3.0 Shutter Trigger for Select Nikon Cameras by AEO Photo is a light and motion activated camera triggering device designed to capture images of lightning, fireworks and other light producing events. We have all tried to shoot photos of lightning or fireworks, probably with limited success, but the Lightning Strike! Micro PRO 3.0 Trigger can give us a leg up on that tricky enterprise. Attached directly to your camera's hot shoe, the Micro PRO 3.0 detects lightning in the distance and triggers your camera in an incredible 0.1 milliseconds to capture the power and beauty of a lightning strike.
The Lightning Strike! Micro PRO 3.0 is extremely compact and well designed, measuring 2.75" x 2.25" x 0.75" (7.0 x 5.7 x 1.9 cm). The PRO model features a locking hot shoe and tripod mount and a manually controlled sensitivity override for better triggering control in varied situations. Unique to the Lightning Strike! are their proprietary electronics which allow for image review after every shot and improved noise immunity to help eliminate unwanted firings.
Little touches like the low profile LED to minimize reflections when shooting through windows and a "positive action" ON/OFF switch that will not activate accidentally and drain your battery make this a perfect tool for storm chasers. The Micro PRO 3.0 is compatible with most DSLR cameras and utilizes cables specific to each camera. This model comes with a MC30 cable and is compatible with Nikon F100, F5, F6, N90, N90S, DCS-620, D1, D1X, D1H, D2, D2X, D2H, D2S, D3, D3X, D100 (with MB100 option), D200, D300. D700 cameras.

SQL Server 2000 Trigger Enhancements
November 1, 2000
SQL Server 2000 greatly enhances trigger functionality, extending the capabilities of the triggers you already know and love, and adding a whole new type of trigger, the "Instead Of" trigger.
If you are already familiar with programming triggers then read on, but if you are new to the subject then it would be worth reading about triggers in Books Online, or taking a look at the Triggers section on my own SQL Server page, before reading this article.
After Triggers
After Triggers are the type of trigger that existed prior to SQL Server 2000, the "After" name is new and helps differentiate between this type of trigger and the new "Instead Of" trigger type, which will be covered later.
Multiple After Triggers
More than one trigger can now be defined on a table for each Insert/Update/Delete. Although in general you might not want to do this (it's easy to get confused if you over-use triggers) there are situations where this is ideal. One example that springs to mind is that you can split your triggers up into two categories:
This would allow you to alter triggers of one type without fear of accidentally breaking the other.
If you are using multiple triggers, it is of course essential to know which order they fire in. A new stored procedure called sp_settriggerorder allows you to set a trigger to be either the "first" or "last" to fire.
If you want more than two triggers to fire in a specific order, there is no way to specifically define this. A deeply unscientific test I did indicated that multiple triggers for the same table and operation will run in the order they were created unless you specifically tell them otherwise. I would not recommend relying on this though.
Instead Of Triggers
Instead Of Triggers fire instead of the operation that fires the trigger, so if you define an Instead Of trigger on a table for the Delete operation, they try to delete rows, they will not actually get deleted (unless you issue another delete instruction from within the trigger) as in this simple example:
If you were to print out the contents of the Inserted and Deleted tables from inside an Instead Of trigger you would see they behave in exactly the same way as normal. In this case the Deleted table holds the rows you were trying to delete, even though they will not get deleted.
Instead of Triggers can be used in some very powerful ways!
Mixing Trigger Types
If you were to define an Instead Of trigger and an After trigger on the same table for the same operation, what would happen?
Because an After trigger fires after an operation completes, and an 'instead of' trigger prevents the operation from taking place, the After trigger would never fire in this situation.
However, if an Instead Of trigger on a (say) delete operation contains a subsequent delete on the same table, then any After trigger defined for the delete operation on that table will fire on the basis of the delete statement issued from the Instead Of trigger. The original delete statement is not executed, only the Delete in the Instead Of trigger runs.
This code sample creates a trigger of each type, and changed the nature of the delete statement issued so that only comics that have a value of 0 in the preserve column can be deleted.
Further Reading
For more details on Instead Of triggers take a look at this article, and of course Books Online.

The Dutch copyright organisation Brein says it will not force the Swedish file-sharing website The Pirate Bay to cease its activities in the Netherlands pending an appeal by its founders, report various media.
On July 30 a court in Amsterdam ordered the website to stop infringing the copyright of Brein's members and said it would have to pay a fine of €30,000 a day unless it ceased its activities in the Netherlands.
The ban was for two months to give the three Swedish founders of the site, who were not present at the hearing, the opportunity to challenge the ruling.
Brein, which represents the Dutch music industry, now says that it will allow The Pirate Bay to stay online until the appeal is heard.
The Pirate Bay lawyer Ernst Louwers told AFP news agency on Monday that he would file a case with the Amsterdam district court by August 25.
In April a Swedish court sentenced the three founders of The Pirate Bay and a fourth man to a year in prison for promoting copyright infringement.
Founded in 2003, The Pirate Bay makes it possible to avoid copyright fees and share music, film and computer game files for free. The site claims to have more than 20 million users worldwide.

[np_storybar title="Read the letter" link="#1″]
OTTAWA — Dozens of NDP stalwarts are threatening to withdraw their support in the Ontario election, saying they are "deeply distressed" by what they see as the party's shift to the right.
In a letter to NDP Leader Andrea Horwath obtained by media outlets, 34 long-time supporters say they are "seriously considering" not voting for the New Democrats on June 12.
[np_storybar title="Scott Stinson: Who are you Andrea Horwath, and what have you done with the Ontario NDP?" link="http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/05/22/scott-stinson-who-are-you-andrea-horwath-and-what-have-you-done-with-the-ontario-ndp/"%5D
After Andrea Horwath unveiled Thursday her party's long-awaited platform, which relies on a small corporate tax hike and a promise to cut government waste in a package that is otherwise a lot like the Liberal budget she defeated, she was asked why we are even having an election, given her apparent satisfaction with much of Kathleen Wynne's fiscal plan.
"People deserve a better government," she said before a crowd of reporters at the University of Toronto. "They deserve a government that respects their tax dollars."
Nothing that was revealed Thursday came as much of a surprise. In that sense, the platform was the end point on a journey from the NDP's traditional social-democratic base.
Read full column…
The writers — who include Michelle Landsberg, wife of former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis — accuse Horwath of pushing the party "to the right of the Liberals in an attempt to win Conservative votes."
They urge her to reconsider her stance or risk losing the support of thousands "who will turn to other parties or not vote at all."
The letter, dated Friday, comes a day after the New Democrats unveiled a platform that would raise the corporate tax rate and offer financial help to hydro users, family caregivers and students if they form government.
In a statement issued late Friday, the New Democrats defended their decision to trigger an election and said they stand by their platform.
"Progressives cannot turn a blind eye to corruption because it weakens the very foundations of our democracy. We need to renew democracy by guaranteeing transparency and accountability," campaign co-chair Gilles Bisson said.
"The support our leader is getting from people has never been warmer, our ranks never been stronger. We're proud to stand for raising the minimum wage, increasing childcare spaces, lowering tuition, and supporting caregivers."
Earlier Friday, Horwath brushed off suggestions the party could lose ground to vote splitting among left-leaning voters eager to stave off a Tory government.
The NDP leader said she doesn't see Tim Hudak's plan — which includes cutting 100,000 public sector jobs — gaining enough traction to warrant strategic voting come June 12.
And people should know better than vote Liberal by default, she said during a campaign stop in Ottawa-Vanier, a long-held Liberal riding.
"I do not believe that it is inevitable that you have to vote Liberal and reward them for their bad behaviour," she said.
"I think people have decided that it's time to take a hard look at what they want in government and what they want is a government that they can trust to actually deliver for them."
'Given your mistrust of the Liberals, it still would have been better to insist they carry out their promises rather than just bringing them down'
As for Hudak's plan to create a million jobs over the next eight years while trimming the public service, "I don't think anybody takes that plan very seriously at all," the NDP leader said.
Both the Liberals and the Tories have tried to relegate the third party to fringe status, painting themselves as the only two options to lead the province.
But Horwath said she believes Ontarians will vote for whoever will serve them best, rather than "a particular political party that would have you think that they're the only choice."
The Liberals have criticized the plan, which they said would jeopardize Ontario's position as the top jurisdiction in North America for direct foreign investment.
Premier Kathleen Wynne also accused the NDP of cribbing part of the Liberals' spring budget — the same blueprint they rejected, triggering the election.
Horwath fired back at the premier Friday, saying Wynne must not have read the NDP platform carefully.
If there are any similarities, she said, it's because "some of the things the Liberals threw into their budget are NDP ideas as well."
The Canadian Press
Full text of the letter to Andrea Horwath:
Dear Andrea We are writing to you as long-time supporters of the ONDP who are deeply distressed by the current election campaign. Not only have we voted ONDP in every election until now but we have consistently supported the ONDP in several of the following ways: giving money, canvassing, scrutineering, pulling out the vote, leafleting, running as a candidate, participating in our ridings, or participating in provincial council, serving on the provincial/federal executive, being on staff. In this election, we are seriously considering not voting NDP. We were angry when you voted against the most progressive budget in recent Ontario history. Given your mistrust of the Liberals, it still would have been better to insist they carry out their promises rather than just bringing them down. But in your campaign, it seems that you don't agree with the proposals in the budget. From what we can see you are running to the right of the Liberals in an attempt to win Conservative votes. It is not clear whether you have given up on progressive voters or you are taking them for granted. With Tim Hudak in a position to win the election, we are facing the most right wing and vicious leader of the PC's since Mike Harris. Our priority should be to discredit his program and defeat him, not validate his program. Instead, you seem to be giving credence to his policies by adopting a more moderate right-wing program focusing on balanced budgets, austerity or at least public service cuts and "common sense." You have not explained to ONDP voters why this will be a successful election strategy and why they should vote against their principles. It seems in your rush to the centre you are abandoning those values and constituencies that the party has always championed. If the NDP does not stand with working people, poor people, with women, with immigrants, then what does it stand for? We urge you to change course. Most of us are suffering from an economic and political system that is increasing inequality, reducing public services, destroying the environment, whittling away our democracy and making the rich much, much richer; while the majority of working people are left with precarious livelihoods. The NDP has always stood for more democracy and social justice. There are lots of new ideas on how to achieve more equality in these conservative times. We wish we could hear you on these ideas. Please reconsider or you will lose not only our support but also the support of thousands of others who will turn to other parties or not vote at all. As for those of us who sign this letter, our only loyalty deeper than that which we feel for our party is our loyalty to the principles on which that party was built. We look forward to a timely response. Sincerely, Geoff Bickerton Patricia Chorney Rubin Gordon Cleveland Susan Colley Bozica Costigliola Cathy Crowe Bryan Evans Maureen FitzGerald Martha Friendly Jawara Gairey Janice Gairey Grace-Edward Galabuzzi, Amy Gottlieb Vinay Kafele Jamie Kass Annabelle Kennedy Michael Kaufman Michele Landsberg Karen Lior Rachel Longford Mary Morison

What's Next for the Dollar?
The real trade weighted value of the dollar fell 11 percent against the Federal Reserve Bank's index of major currencies during the 12 months through May 2011 and 31 percent during the past ten years. Four strong market forces are likely to cause further declines over the next several years: a portfolio rebalancing by major international investors who regard their portfolios as overweight dollars, the large US current account deficit, a Chinese policy to raise consumption, and interest rate differences that make dollar investments less attractive. A declining dollar could have a powerful positive effect on the short-run performance of the American economy by raising exports (now more than $1.3 trillion) and inducing American consumers to shift from imports to American made products and services. Without a boost to demand from an increase in net exports, the U.S. recovery is likely to remain weak and could run out of steam. There are of course also negative effects of a falling dollar: reducing the real value of any given level of personal incomes by raising the cost to households of the imported products that they consume and creating inflationary pressures as import prices rise.

LINDEN, Rafael et al. Relation between CYP2C19 phenotype and genotype in a group of Brazilian volunteers. Braz. J. Pharm. Sci. [online]. 2009, vol.45, n.3, pp.461-467. ISSN 2175-9790. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1984-82502009000300011.
The CYP2C19 gene presents polymorphism affecting the pharmacokinetics of several drugs of clinical importance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between CYP2C19 genotype and metabolic phenotype in a group of 38 Brazilian volunteers, evaluating the phenotype prediction capacity of the genotyping procedure. For CYP2C19 phenotyping, omeprazole was used as the probe drug, using the hydroxylation metabolic ratio as the phenotypic indicator. Venous blood samples were drawn before and three hours after an oral administration of 20 mg omeprazole. The plasma concentrations of omeprazole and hydroxy-omeprazole were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The genotyping assay was carried out using a Real-Time-PCR-based assay, identifying the alleles *1 (completely functional), *2, *3 and *4 (null). The phenotyping procedure estimated the presence of 4 poor, 34 extensive and 1 ultra-extensive metabolizer. The genotyping identified 4 poor, 23 extensive and 11 intensive metabolizers. The groups of volunteers classified according to the number of active alleles of CYP2C19 had significant differences in the metabolic ratios of omeprazole hydroxylation. However, volunteers exhibiting the same number of active alleles presented different phenotypes. Therefore, the phenotyping of CYP2C19 is a more promising alternative to dose individualization of CYP2C19 substrate drugs.

A Canoe In The Woods In Waldo County
The path leading into the pond with a glimpse of blue..
Little Zed , not sure of what to make of this…
This pond is not at all conducive to fly fishing from the shoreline so I brought along my ultralight spinning rod and even with that it wasn't easy. Spotting a boulder to my right I did a little bushwacking to get to it in order to provide a bit of elbow room for easier casting.
Along the way I came across an upturned canoe.
I got to thinking about the considerable carrying and pulling it must have taken in order to get it there but clearly the owner knew that the fishing would be worth the effort.
Making it to the boulder I stood there for a while just to enjoy the scenery.
Hard to believe that this seemingly remote pond is less than a half hour from downtown Belfast. So I'll be back soon for a more serious fishing effort which will include my fly rod and hopefully I'll have some success to report…

victory of season
Courier sports staff
CLARKSVILLE - The University of the Ozarks men and women soccer teams earned a split through four American Southwest Conference matches this weekend, with both teams falling Friday to Hardin-Simmons before sweeping McMurry University on Saturday.
Saturday's 3-0 victory over McMurry was the first of the season for the Lady Eagles (1-12-0, 1-7-0 ASC), while the Eagles (9-2-2, 5-1-1) lost their first conference match of the season Friday.
Ozarks is scheduled to host the University of Texas-Tyler today beginning at 1 p.m. with the men's match. The women's match will follow at 3 p.m.
Cowboys 2, Eagles 1
David Salas scored the game-winning goal in the 87th minute to lift Hardin-Simmons University to a 2-1 victory Friday over Ozarks in Clarksville.
The Eagles pressed hard on the offensive attack in the first half, but it was the Cowboys (7-4-2, 5-3-1) who scored the match's first goal in the 22nd minute.
Ozarks took seven shots in the first half, including a rocket shot by Jared Gordon that Cowboy goalie Ryan Shaughnessy managed to hold on to.
Ten minutes into the second half, Ozarks' Lars Nyberg executed a perfect lob kick to teammate Ron Hogsett, who beat his defender to the goal for his ninth score of the season. Nyberg, who would later chase down and knock away a Hardin-Simmons ball that was headed for the goal, received his first assist of the season.
The second half saw Ozarks hold a 6-5 shots advantage, but the most important shot came with under three minutes remaining when Salas connected for the game winner.
Hogsett, Gordon and Ryan Skelly finished with three shots each for Ozarks. Keeper Brian Sarber had five saves.
Cowgirls 6, Lady Eagles 0
The 13th-ranked Cowgirls were too much for the Lady Eagles, leaving Clarksville with a 6-0 victory.
Hardin-Simmons (12-1-0, 9-0-0) scored two quick goals in the first half to take the momentum and force the Lady Eagles into early comeback mode. The Cowgirls proved worthy of their national ranking with a goal in the 10th, 15th and the 26th minutes.
Emma Cantele registered Ozarks' only shot of the entire game. The Cowgirls ended the match with a 27-1 shots advantage.
Ozarks goalkeeper Jessica Falls recorded 11 saves.
Eagles 1, Indians 0
Cody Ellis scored from 15 yards out in the 80th minute to lift Ozarks to a 1-0 victory Saturday over McMurry in Clarksville.
Ellis, a freshman from Richardson, Texas, took a pass from senior Malcolm Williams and darted towards the goal to hit his only shot of the match and help the Eagles stay in contention for a conference championship.
The shutout was Ozarks' eighth of the season, and it avenged a 3-0 loss to the Indians (5-9-2, 3-5-2) in last season's ASC playoffs.
The Eagles outshot the Indians 14-9 with eight players taking at least one shot. Hogsett finished with three, a team high. Sarber had four saves to earn his fifth shutout this season.
Lady Eagles 3,
Lady Indians 0
Behind a two-goal effort by Amanda Alexander, the Lady Eagles defeated McMurry 3-0 Saturday to give Justin Neese his first victory as a collegiate head coach.
Ozarks dominated McMurry in every facet of the match, finishing with 25 shots and a season-high 14 shots on goal. The Lady Eagles fared well on the defensive side, too, holding the visitors to just three shots.
Ozarks reeled off six shots within the first 10 minutes of play. It was Terah McGill who earned the game's first score after knocking one over the keeper's head from 20 yards out in the 26th minute.
McMurry threatened to score early in the second half, but Becky Obermueller chased down a McMurry player from behind to knock away a potential goal. From there, Alexander began what would be a career day when she scored her first goal of the season in the 59th minute. She would strike again in the 72nd after beating the keeper in a one-on-one opportunity.
Alexander led the team with six shots, and McGill followed with five. Both had three shots on goal.
Falls finished with two saves.
