Cal this morning
By Matthew Birt -
28 February 2013 15:41
Cal Crutchlow believes slower riders cost him the chance to have a shot at topping the timesheets on the final day of the second MotoGP test at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia today.
After an early rain interruption the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team rider was lying in sixth place when the majority of the field went into time attack mode in the final hour of the day.With extreme temperatures dropping in the late afternoon and a host of soft tyres available, the final hour resembled a qualifying session, as riders went out for fast runs to try and improve their pace.
Crutchlow was among them and he was looking on course to jump ahead of Dani Pedrosa's best time of 2.00.562 when he came across slower riders, including Spanish CRT rider Hector Barbera.
Barbera has gained a reputation for repeatedly slowing in practice and qualifying to tail a faster rider and after an incident late in the day today, Crutchlow was furious again.He told MCN: "I'm a bit disappointed to be only sixth on the final day. I got badly held up on my final laps when everybody was pushing for a fast time.
Normally I can really pull a lap out when I need to but it just wasn't possible with the traffic. Barbera and I had a few words because it is so dangerous. As you come down the back straight they are looking behind them and always looking for a tow. I don't care if somebody follows me but don't get in my way when I'm doing fast laps. It is dangerous because they are sat on the right side of the track doing about 50mph and I'm doing about 200mph.
They leave you no room at all. It wouldn't be so bad if they pulled to one side and then pulled in behind you coming out of the last corner. They ride slowly and if you hit them there is going to be a big crash. They don't understand but I think I could have been fastest if I would have really pushed but every lap I did there was somebody in my way."
Crutchlow ended up sixth quickest today with a best lap of 2.01.094 but he enjoyed another positive week having finished fourth overall courtesy of his best lap of 2.00.907 set on the only full dry day yesterday (Wednesday).
He did a distance run of 13-laps in gruelling heat and humidity today but had to abandon a full race simulation attempt to avoid running out of fuel.
He added: "I wasn't supposed to do a race simulation but I felt good and decided to carry on. But the team pulled me in because they knew there wasn't enough fuel in the tank. It wasn't the pace of (Jorge) Lorenzo's long run but it wasn't far off and he is on the factory bike, so that is encouraging.
To be fourth overall is very positive and I definitely think we are in the mix. My target was to be close to the factory guys and we are not too far away."For nine pages of coverage from the Sepang MotoGP test, see the March 6 issue of Motor Cycle News.

Surely it's every riders duty to be aware of what's going on around them, cruising for a tow on the racing line is only going to end one way. Even the best of riders have been guilty of it at one time or another. A few years ago Leon Camier said to his crew chief " he just sits there doing nothing on the racing line" His crew chief replied "who" "HIM" Leon said pointing to Max Biaggi. As I said, all riders have done it so they really do need to be aware of where they are and what their doing because no one wants to see the kind of accident that a slow rider on a racing line can cause. Just look what happened when Marc Marcez didn't slow down at the end of a quallifying session and plowed into a rider that had slowed down.

No brainer
Any rider in motogp except the a few CRT rider could beat anyone in ducati once you put them on Yamaha M1. I think everybody knows that... So Cal will look mightly impressive this year because there is no stoner this year and dovi who school him last year move to ride the Ducati. As for Cal... You have to man up and deal with it. there is a lot of rider out there who is faster than you who doesn't complain as much as you do so you could look good on paper. More action and less talking make you look even better than your result. But just like last year still support you to do good because i am a yamaha fan.

self belief
good to hear a brit doing well toward the season ahead,self belief is the first thing cal needs to win a race or even put himself near the front, better than dovi and spies by a long shot, dovi wont see the frotn row this year unless yamaha and honda pull all there bikes off the grid!!!

Derrick Parker, a Project SEARCH intern, has enjoyed becoming "a team player."
Feb. 5, 2014 | When Derrick Parker started his UAMS Project SEARCH internship, he had no idea that the experience would expose him to an array of career possibilities.
As a participant in the program for individuals with disabilities, Parker came to UAMS with his mind set on becoming a cook or working in the bakery. UAMS Project SEARCH Vocational Advisor Laura Collins wanted to help him get out of his comfort zone and try new experiences.
"When I came to UAMS, I was nervous," Parker said. "I was placed in an area I knew nothing about or how to succeed, but with the help and understanding of the staff and my coworkers, I was willing to take the challenge and become a team player."
In August, UAMS, ACCESS, and Arkansas Rehabilitation Services (ARS) started the inaugural year of the UAMS Project SEARCH internship program. The nine-month internship provides real-life work experiences combined with training in employability and independent living skills with the goal of competitive, sustainable employment beyond graduation. UAMS is providing internship jobs and on-campus space for intern instruction; ARS is providing the interns' financial sponsorship and career guidance; and ACCESS is providing program coordination and instruction, job coaching and post-graduation "follow along" services.
UAMS Project SEARCH gives 12 interns the opportunity to work entry-level jobs in several UAMS departments, including campus operations, nutrition services, patient transport and central supply, among others. They rotate to a different job every 10 weeks. After interns secure employment, UAMS Project SEARCH graduates receive follow-along services to help with job retention.
Derrick Parker began his internship in Rehab Services. He worked in the Hand Therapy Center, the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging, and the Jackson T. Stephens Spine Center Therapy Gym. He did the rotation every day and helped with Joint Commission regulations and with patient care.
Collins spoke highly of Parker and his participation in the program.
"Derrick came in wanting to be a cook, but we wanted to get him out of his comfort level and try something new, so we placed him in rehab services," Collins said. "He thanked us, his mom thanked us, and he said he would have never thought of this."
She said for Parker's second rotation, Derrick and his team chose Nutrition Services for him to gain more experience in an area in which he hopes to have a career.
"He's in the bakery and he's doing great," Collins said. "The staff there are very supportive of Derrick. He has done extremely well, and we are all so very proud of him!"
Parker said his dream is to one day own his own restaurant. He became interested in cooking at a young age, watching his mother and grandmother in the kitchen. He said UAMS Project SEARCH has helped him prove to himself and other people that having a disability does not mean he is not able to perform on the job.
As a member of the nutrition services team, Parker is responsible for making a lot of baked goods such as brownies, cornbread and biscuits.
"Here at UAMS, I have learned that we have all faced an area where we are challenged and may not have the ability to do the job," Parker said. "But with the right training, our minds are exposed to not allow the limits of our ability to dictate the outcome of our success."
Collins said another of the interns, Andrew Aston, has already been hired full time. Aston was hired by Crothall, contracted by UAMS, to work in patient transport. One of Aston's supervisors said he showed great integrity and compassion for the position. He started Jan. 21.
UAMS Project SEARCH program coordinator Jenny Adams said she hopes that, the program will expand. Adams, a special educator at ACCESS, works with Collins and job coach Aloma Kouyais to implement overall program management, program instruction, job coaching and vocational placement services for the interns.
She said the main goal of Project SEARCH is to get the interns jobs or careers. To help with this, the team has created a 12-person business advisory council with representatives from Dillard's Inc., the City of Little Rock, and other organizations interested in helping the interns pursue employment. The council members engage in various activities, such as mentoring interns, offering to review interns' resumes and host mock interviews, and introducing fellow business contacts to the program.
"We are very grateful to UAMS and ARS for partnering with ACCESS to make this unique job training program available for these young men and women," said Adams. "Together, we are giving individuals with disabilities the self-confidence, skills and opportunity to demonstrate how they can give back to our community in meaningful ways. We are so proud of the interns' progress and are looking forward to working with them as they graduate and welcoming our Year 2 interns this fall."

Message from the Secretary General on the occasion of the International Day for Biodiversity
Gland, 22 May 2010 | In 2002 governments of the world established the target of, by 2010, significantly reducing the rate of loss of biodiversity. 22nd May is the International Day for Biodiversity and 2010 is the International Year for Biodiversity so it is no surprise that the global environmental community has made a special effort to focus on biodiversity, its current state and future fate. Whether we look at biodiversity at the species or ecosystem level we can find some good news here and there but the majority of the reports we read reach the same conclusion. Our diverse ecosystems and species are largely in decline and it is mostly at the hand of humankind.
For our World Wetlands Day campaign on the 2nd February this year, we focused on wetland biodiversity and climate change providing an opportunity to look at the impact of the many human-induced drivers of biodiversity loss in wetlands, a source of much concern to the Ramsar Convention, and the additional threat to species and ecosystems of climate change, a phenomenon that will cause concern for decades to come and often results in direct impacts on countries and their economies.
Does the loss of a few species and the decline in health of our ecosystems matter so much? Yes, but only if we are able to place a true value of the ecosystem services – the benefits to people – that they provide. The ecosystem services from wetlands – such as water, fish, groundwater recharge, water purification and waste treatment, flood control, storm protection etc., are essential for human survival. Undervaluing the services from ecosystems can lead to disastrous decision-making that degrades ecosystems and negatively impacts human well-being. In Thailand intact mangroves provide ecosystem services with a total net present economic value of at least 1,000 USD per hectare while mangroves converted to shrimp farms yield only USD 200. An ill-informed decision will undoubtedly impact local communities the most, especially the poorest, but ultimately poor decisions affect us all as wetland ecosystems and their species decline.
While threats and losses are evident across all ecosystems, globally, wetland ecosystems seem to be faring worse. Waterbirds, an excellent group of indicator species on wetland ecosystem health, are under threat with 41% of well-studied populations in decline; 38% of wetland mammals assessed are globally threatened, higher than the already worrisome 21% of threatened terrestrial mammals; 27% of coral-building species assessed are threatened; and at least 42% of amphibian species assessed are declining in population. The loss of a few flagship species is simply sad; a decline in health of ecosystems, their species and thus their ecosystem services of this order of magnitude is more than sad. It's a long-term threat to human well-being.
So indeed let us join with the CBD to celebrate this International Day for Biological Diversity, let's celebrate the beauty and splendor of our wetland species and ecosystems, but let's not forget the challenges that lie ahead. As an environmental community we must do better at convincing everyone from governments to local communities that biological diversity belongs to us all and our survival as a species depends on it.

Rogers Bridge
Rogers Bridge, once a site planned for 32 residential homes, is now a planned addition to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Farmed for nearly 300 years by the Rogers family, the property sits at the foot of the historic trestle-style Rogers Bridge, which, once restored, will become the first bike/pedestrian river crossing of its kind to link Fulton and Gwinnett Counties.
In 2011, TPL conveyed the 44-acre Rogers Bridge property to the National Park Service (NPS), where it will be open to the public to enjoy its river banks, trails and vistas. A mix of federal Land and Water Conservation Funds and private funds made protection of Rogers Bridge possible. At closing, TPL donated half (22 acres) of the property to the NPS.

Since 1972, The Trust for Public Land has protected more than 3 million acres and completed more than 5,200 park and conservation projects.

Awesome Game
It's really fun especially in 2 player mode. Good idea. As for level 3, you need to do the 2nd jump when he's starting to go down after the first jump. Level 1-8 was a bit hard. I searched around for how to do it to no avail. I found out that it's not done with the A+W+1 but the arrow keys. Left + Up + 1.

XdzTx8HTF7, good points, but it's not the market that is skewed against US manufacturing. The state has placed a ton of weight on US manufacturers in through taxes and regulation and then told them to go run a marathon.
Thanks for highlighting a very important problem with current US governance: the refusal to recognize that unemployment is largely structural, and the resulting misguided efforts to increase employment by manipulating aggregate demand without any attention to structure. This Fed paper is a defense of current, misguided policy.
It seems obvious that US unemployment is predomnantly in the housing and manufacturing sectors and in the sun and rust belts where those sectors were concentrated. The manipulation of aggregate demand will not do much for those sectors and regions.
As for reduced mobility, I agree with the author's comment about the anchoring effect of two-income households, and underwater mortgages are definitely also an important factor. Another very important factor is the huge disparity in housing prices that has opened up between the worst-hit sun and rust belt regions and the regions with relatively better job markets. Even if you are not underwater, if the value of your house has dropped below $100k but the cheapest houses in the region where you might find work are still $200k+, you're probably not going to make that move.
Fundamentalist makes a very good point about the need to rebuild new and different capital before making new hires. But this is a global economy and most of that rebuilding is occurring outside the US. Recessions always serve as catalysts for reallocations of resources. The vast majority of the manufacturing jobs that were lost during this recession will not come back to the US, at least not until market conditions change dramatically in favor of US manufacturing.
Bampbs, in the story dwelling in my brain, that caution is a source of structural unemployment. If tastes switch from luxuries to staples, efficiency over quality, quality over quantity, quantity over brand loyalty, then a lot of things people used to do aren;t going to be done as much and things people never much did will need to be done more. That's why without being able to quantify, I'm pretty sympathetic to the idea that structural unemployment is an important part of the story.
I'm guessing a debt-averse economy is much different from a credit-giddy economy and that the consequent changes in demand are pretty secular.
I've not seen compelling evidence in favor of structural unemployment, except, perhaps, in the housing related sector, where we really overdid it.
I think that confidence has been so damaged that people will be very cautious.
One of Hayek's great insights on unemployment was that modern employment requires capital. There is almost no work available for workers that doesn't require capital. Even washing dishes in a restaurant today requires capital for the dish washing machine. But a whole lot of capital becomes worthless during the depression because of excess production of it during the boom. As a result, those workers who depended upon the wasted capital for their jobs are now unemployed. They'll have to wait until other businesses use savings to build new capital equipment before they can have a job.
A very simplistic example is a company that digs ditches with shovels. Shovels are the capital equipment. Say that a dozer runs over 5 of the 10 shovels the company owns and destroys them. One worker had been hired for each shovel. Now five workers no longer have shovels to work with. The company can't use them. They would be no good digging ditches with their hands. The company will have to lay them off until they can afford to buy five more new shovels.
One also has to remember that the unemployed often head back to college, thereby rooting themselves.
Any stats on the percentage of unemployed going back to college in the early 80's vs. today?
I would suspect that it would be lower in the 80's.
1) Interest rates were higher, so borrowing was costlier.
2) Grants and other "free education money" wasn't as prevelant.
3) Student loans - along with loans for women and minorities - were unheard of back then, or at least not offered as widely.
Robert Reich may be an old socialist, but even he can see some things clearly:
"The Big Money economy is doing well these days. That's partly thanks to Ben Bernanke, whose Fed is keeping interest rates near zero by printing money as fast as it dare. It's essentially free money to America's Big Money economy.
"Free money can almost always be put to uses that create more of it. Big corporations are buying back their shares of stock, thereby boosting corporate earnings. They're merging and acquiring other companies." http://robertreich.org/post/1488766304
Interesting post. In the past you have also argued that the decline in labor mobility may be due to underwater mortgages, which still seems sound and partially explanatory.

The Minnesota Vikings went out and signed Josh Freeman after he was released from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That sent Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel to the bench. Injuries have forced the Vikings to start Ponder after Freeman suffered a concussion.
"Apparently I was on a short leash before and I didn't know it," Ponder said, via ESPN.
"I want to be on the field, and this is my opportunity to get back out there again," Ponder said, per the Minnesota Star Tribune. "I think it was good for me to kind of take a step back for a couple weeks and take a deep breath and learn from those first three games and get out there and play better. I'm excited for this opportunity. What a great way to come back out against the Packers at home. It'll be fun."
While Vikings fans might not share his enthusiasm or optimism, they can share his next sentiments. Of course, he was talking about being benched and the fans might be thinking about their season.
"It couldn't get any worse than that," Ponder said of being benched. "That's probably fair to say. I think I was playing with a lot of pressure on myself before and never felt in sync. Now is the opportunity to take that deep breath and go out and have fun again. I already got benched, so it can't get worse than that."

In the Oscar Wilde podcast, one of the things mentioned was that Wilde won prizes for his classical and biblical Greek. I've seen many references to prizes being won in school, but they have all been British. I have to go back to Tom Sawyer to think of an American reference, and that pertained to Sunday (church) school. My impression, mostly gained from Jeeves and Wooster and other questionable sources, is that the winning of prizes at school in Britain is a huge institutional ritual. I was wondering if that is the case, if it ever really was the case, and if it contributes to the impression we have as Americans that British schools are hard places, full of competition and criticism and willful destruction of students' self-esteem (or perhaps I've just listened to The Wall one too many times.)
Anyway, the whole "school prizes" phenomenon intrigues me, and I'd love to hear more about it.
P.S. As I've mentioned, the podcast is clever and entertaining, whether structured or improvised. Thank you again.

LoCash Cowboys, 'Best Seat in the House' [Listen]
September 27, 2013 / 10:40
Fans of the LoCash Cowboys may do a double-take when the duo's new single begins. 'Best Seat in the House' is Chris Lucas' tribute to his late father, and it's more emotional than the party rockers have ever been. Dads may weep during this ballad.

PHILADELPHIA, PA – It took a few games but the Philadelphia Flyers power play is back on track and so is their overall success on the ice.
After a miserable start to the season, things are looking up at the Wells Fargo Center these days. After going 3-5-1 the Flyers have rattled off five straight wins and are in first place in the Atlantic Division with 17 points, one point behind Washington and Los Angeles for the league lead in points.
Last season the Flyers power play was one of the best in the league. Before the win streak the power play unit was 25th and running at a lousy 9.1 percent success rate. Going into tonight's game with the New York Islanders the power play unit is 11th in the league and is up to a 19 percent success rate. During the streak they have gone 9-for-28, a 32.1 percent success rate. Needless to say it doesn't take a Mensa Genius to decipher the reason for the recent turnaround in the Flyers' fortunes.
Another reason for the Flyers success is that they have also improved in the face-off department. They were near the bottom of the league before the streak but are now 20th in the league. Four players are winning over 50 percent: Andres Nodl, Ville Leino, Jeff Carter, and Claude Giroux. Mike Richards is doing well at 49.7 percent as is Blair Betts at 46.4. Danny Briere and Darroll Powe come in at 42.9.
Giroux is playing some of the best hockey of his young career. He is leading the team in goals (7) and points (14). The scary part is he is only fourth on the team in shots on goal with 27. Carter leads with a whopping 52 shots on goal.
Another key to the Flyers success is that the defensemen are starting to pitch in on offense. Before the streak no Flyers defensemen had a goal on the season. During the streak the Flyers have four goals, three from Chris Pronger, the other by Kimmo Timonen. Overall the Flyers have goals from 13 different players, but most of it has come from the right side of the ice.
James van Riemsdyk has not scored a goal through 13 games, so a demotion to the Adirondack Phantoms might be in the cards if things don't start looking up for him soon. Scott Hartnell has picked up his play of late so things are looking up for him but they need him to stay on the ice more. He still leads the team in penalties and is fourth in the league in penalty minutes and second overall in minors.
Not to be outdone in all of the good vibes is the play by rookie goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who is quickly turning himself into an early Calder Trophy candidate.
Bobrovsky is first in goals against average (2.23) and second in save percentage (.921) among rookies who have played in five or more games. After the beating team management had over not signing a big name free agent or trading for one in the off-season, so far the risk of signing Bobrovsky as a 22 year old free agent is so far paying off.
Adding depth on defense has also helped propel the Flyers to a tie for seventh overall in goals against. The offense has since climbed up the charts and is up to fifth overall as well. That is bad news for the rest of the league. Needless to say things are looking up for the Flyers these days. If the team can continue their recent success on the ice, the rest of the conference will be looking up at the Flyers in the standings.
Another trip to the Stanley Cup finals could be in cards for the orange and black, but the season is still young and a lot can happen between now and then.
In the mean time Philadelphia, enjoy the ride. Playing into June was great last year. Winning the cup this time around will be well worth the trip.

Investigators found a half-empty bottle of vodka and prescription medication in the hotel room where Jani Lane died yesterday ... TMZ has learned.
Sources tell us paramedics were called to the Comfort Inn in Woodland Hills, CA yesterday around 5:15 PM. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
An autopsy is scheduled for later today.
We're told Lane's death is being treated as an accidental overdose or a possible death from natural causes.
Ehh... at least he went out like a rocker.
Vodka & pills? Sounds like it could even be a possible suicide. It wouldn't surprise me with the ridicule and shame he has brought on himself over the last few years...
Either way, Rest in Peace. very sad for his wife and children. :(
You guys couldn't get a better picture than that? Something even remotely in focus?
another lost soul trying to fill that inner void ... may you be at peace
sounds like a suicide. but my loved one drank eeverything and took all her pills before hand. they aren'[t sharing every thing and that's okay. peoiple dont die in hotel rooms like this from natural causes usually. much love to his family and those that loved him. this saddens me and all those that lost those that left us too soon. xoxo......
hopefully people can learn from this. when you do drugs, there is only one outcome. for anyone out there that has a problem, please get help. dont be ashamed, get help !
47 is not that old...lets hope its a undetected medical condition...
if its not his grieving family will be devastated...
my condolences to his close friends and family...
What are you gonna do with the leftover vodka? He's not using it - can you send it to Linds? Money's kind of tight around here lately (don't tell anyone) and Linds could spend her money on a little coke. OK?
Well I for one am shocked! ..... not really....but I am sad. Those dayum pills are the devil. They are the hardest addiction to kick. I hate to say it but they should only be prescribed on your death bed!
Alcohol mixed with drugs can kill you.
A self-inflicted gunshot to the head also can kill you.
I say suicide. Sad, but painfully realistic when people lose the will to live.
How old is he?
I ran into him back in the early 90's and he told me he was a diabetic and had to watch how much he drank due to the sugars in beer, etc. Maybe this was related to his death.
Not sure if this was a suicide or not. A lot of these older rockers still party like they are in their twenties and the body can take just so much. Too bad. I quit drinking and doing drugs many years ago, not because I wanted to, but because of the toll it was taking on my innards. Now that I am closing in on fifty, I feel like I'm in my 30's. I think like I'm in my 20's. And I act like I'm in my teens. Thank God I quit because it might have been the death of me. Just remember kiddies,
There's a shocker....celebrity dies with drugs and alcohol present. Anyone know any background here...has something like this ever happened in the past?

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Tifton Police are on the lookout for gunmen after a violent night.
Three people were wounded in two separate shootings last night.
Bullets narrowly missed a child in one house.
Investigators are trying to piece together what happened.
What family members say started off as a dispute,
"There was an argument down the street, you know how kids do," said Larry Colquitt.
Quickly escalated into something more serious.
"We were sitting here watching television and a guy came up and shot through the window four times," said Colquitt.
Police say a man standing on the porch, of 520 Alder street shot through the window four times hitting Colquitt's nephew 23 Emanuel Newsome and 18 year old Jasmine Adkins.
"We know the female was shot in the leg and the male at some point the bullet hit the chest cavity but it passed through his hand first it slowed the bullet down somewhat," said Investigator Lee Dunston, with the Tifton Police Department.
And surprisingly a four year old child, sitting between the two victims, was not hit by the bullets.
"I don't know if it was good marksmanship on the part of the offender or Gods good grace," said Dunston.
But not even two hour later, another shooting occurred.
"I was in the den and I heard pop pop and then I heard pop pop pop pop like an automatic about ten times," said neighbor Elizabeth Stracke.
This time at 818 Madison Avenue.
"Officers did find a 21 year old male who was shot multiple times bleeding heavily out front of a neighbors porch," said Dunston.
21 year old Jaron Hester was discovered by police laying near the neighbors porch bleeding from his leg, head, mouth and nose.
Something shocking to next door neighbor Elizabeth Stracke.
"It used to be the friendly street in Tifton and they just messed it up," said Stracke.
But Stracke says things have been going downhill for a while now on the street, and she suspects drug activity.
"Cars coming in and out in and out, heavy traffic all the time," said Stracke.
And after this incident, she's ready to move.
According to police, 21 year old Hester was seriously wounded but is alive and has improved from last night.
As of right now, police are unclear of what the motives were for both shootings.
In the first shooting they have a person of interest but they are still following leads.
In the second shooting they did recover a weapon at the scene
If you have any information on either of these shootings call the Tifton Police Department at 229-383-3132

Funmilayo Fritters with Harissa & Wet Jollof Rice with Carrots, Cabbage, and Parsley-Garlic Paste
Source: The Inspired Vegan by Bryant Terry
The Inspired Vegan groups recipes into meal plans and these two dishes come form Funmilayo's Feast. Both recipes were fairly simple to prepare, however, there were a few things to organise. The Fritters had a lovely peanut taste that went well with the hot Harissa (although I didn't make it too hot). They were very mild so carried the sauce well. The rice was a nice side but nothing too impressive until you mixed the Parsley-Garlic Paste in and then YUM! Totally worth those extra few minutes with the Stab Mixer.

Lift Depression With Meditation
By Ziba Kashef
With summer coming to a close and shorter, darker days ahead, you might be wondering how to cope with the negative thoughts that often accompany the season's change and can lead to depression. A recent study found that age-old meditative techniques and more modern cognitive therapy can help alleviate symptoms. Anil Coumar, a psychotherapist and director of the mental health clinic at the University of Washington, Seattle, offers these do-it-yourself mood-lifting meditations:
Get moving. For many people, meditation is a remote, Eastern technique that involves sitting with your legs crossed on a cushion. But almost any activity can be mindful and healing, says Coumar. "Through a practice of mindfulness, we can see how our thoughts are not facts—they come and go." To slow down your thinking and realize that you can release negative thoughts as quickly as they come, try this eating meditation: Hold a raisin in your hand and intentionally look at it as if you've never seen one before. Roll it between your fingers and notice each crease. Pay attention to your thoughts about it—maybe you'll think, This is ugly or I've never noticed the true color of a raisin before. Then put it in your mouth and observe how your saliva flows as you chew.
Uncover your unconscious. Imagine you're walking down the street and see a good friend walking in the opposite direction. You nod and smile, but your pal just looks ahead and keeps going. How do you respond? "Someone might say, 'Oh, she probably didn't see me.' Another might think, 'What did I do wrong now?' Depending on how you interpret that event, you're going to feel good or bad," says Coumar. This kind of cognitive exercise can teach us how we unconsciously have these thoughts. The point? To make the normally unconscious thoughts that fuel depression conscious so you can acknowledge them—and then more easily let them go. —Ziba Kashef

Miller (moth)
- This article is about the Miller moth of Europe. The name "Miller" is also used for similar moths elsewhere, such as the genus Agrotis (e.g. Agrotis laysanensis). See Army cutworm for information on the miller moth found in the western United States.
|The Miller
|Scientific classification
|A. leporina
|Binomial name
|Acronicta leporina
(Linnaeus, 1758)
The Miller (Acronicta leporina) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found throughout Europe apart from the far south-east. It also shows up seasonally in parts of the western United States, such as New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming.
This is a variable but always distinctive species, the forewings ranging from almost white to dark grey (pale grey being the most common colour form) with characteristic crescent-shaped black markings. The hindwings are white. The wingspan is 1.5-1.69 in (38–43 mm). Adults of this species fly at night from June to August [1] and will come to light and sugar but are not especially strongly attracted.
The larva is green, covered in long white or yellow hairs. It feeds on a variety of trees (see list below), often feeding on bark and soft wood. This species overwinters as a pupa, sometimes spending two winters in this form.

How-To of Using Electric Power from Space Will Highlight Talk at NJIT
November 02, 2009
Imagine beaming electric power from space as a viable solar energy option. Engineer and researcher Martin Hoffert, professor emeritus and former chair of the department of applied science at New York University, will discuss this theory further in a free lecture, open to the public, on Nov. 4, 2009 at NJIT, from 3-4:30 p.m. in the NJIT Campus Center Atrium. >>
Salman Naqvi, of Kearny, a junior studying electrical engineering at NJIT, was named a prestigious Goldwater Scholar earlier this week by the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program. >>
"The issues of climate change are very complicated," said Philip Goode, PhD, to an audience of more than 200 faculty, staff, students and guests on April 6, 2005 in the NJIT Campus Center. Goode, a distinguished professor of physics at NJIT and director of the Big Bear Solar Observatory in California, shared highlights from his research on the correlation between climate changes on earth and changes in the sun's output, earth's reflectivity and greenhouse gases. "The models are impressive, but appreciable climate factors are not accounted for in models, so their predictions of the future are not precise," he said. "We cannot postdict the past." >>
The world's oceans, and mathematics, have a lot to say to Eliza Michalopoulou, PhD, associate professor in the department of mathematics at NJIT. Her work illustrates another of the many ways in which mathematics defends the nation. As a mathematician, Michalopoulou devises algorithms to help U.S. Navy engineers detect submarines in shallow water. From her underwater (also known as acoustical) research, Michalopoulou can determine the location of submarines and whales, the earth's changing climate, even environmental contamination. >>
Philip Goode, PhD, distinguished professor of physics at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and director of the Big Bear Solar Observatory, will discuss his research suggesting that climate changes on earth correlate with changes in the sun's output during a April 6 lecture sponsored by NJIT. >>

Sunday, the Sertoma Butterfly House and Marine Cove is celebrating its 10-year anniversary.
In 2002, the facility opened as one of just two dozen butterfly houses in the country and have since grown, adding a marine cove in 2011.
The facility is non-profit, always relying on things like membership and admission fees as well as gift shop sales. Directors say they're pleased to share the facility, and it's progress, with the community.
"To see the community support, it means a lot for us. To see 10 years go by so quickly and everyone is still so excited about the butterflies and now the fish," Audrey Willard said.
Employees encourage everyone, if you haven't done so already, to visit the Sertoma Butterfly House and Marine cove for a whole new experience. They have lots of new changes on the way, including two new aquariums!

Zune does not work with WP8. If you have a Win7 laptop all you need is to connect the handset and it will be discovered and available as a separate drive. Then you can drag and drop whatever you want.

RED RIDING HOOD - Blu-ray review
"Under the blood moon, a man bitten is a man cursed."
You know the old fairy tale about Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Bears? Or maybe it was Ms. Hood and some other predatory animal, I don't remember, where the beast eats the girl's grandmother over a bowl of porridge, and a woodsman chops everyone to pieces, and other grisly details ensue to delight the young folk. Yeah, well, forget about all that. This one's a retake on "Twilight."
In 2011's "Red Riding Hood" we get a sappy love story involving a young woman, two boyfriends, and a werewolf. The director of "Twilight," Catherine Hardwicke ("Thirteen," "Lords of Dogtown"), made this one. You get the idea.
Since this is a reimagining of a fairy tale, we get a proper fairy-tale setting in what appears to be a Germanic village "on the edge of a dark forest" in some long-ago time. Good enough. Of course, a wolf is terrorizing the village and has been doing so for generations. The townspeople know it's no ordinary wolf but a werewolf. ("Where wolf? There wolf." --Mel Brooks). But the townsfolk have made peace with the werewolf until now, when it suddenly kills a young woman. The victim in question happens to be the older sister of the main character, Valerie (Valerie Hood? I dunno), played by Amanda Seyfried. Ms. Seyfried is an attractive person in her mid twenties who, I suppose, we are to believe is younger, like late teens. Again, I dunno.
In any case, Valerie is in love with a childhood friend, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), a local woodcutter who wants her to run away with him. The trouble is that Valerie's parents have arranged for her to marry another young man about town, Henry (Max Irons), a rather drippy blacksmith. Both guys are heartthrobs, though, which is typical of these kinds of films: Every young person is either beautiful or handsome, as the case may be; we get no common-looking people in fairy-tale movies. Worse, however, is that we see no hint of chemistry or passion or fission between Ms. Seyfried, a fine young actress, and either of her leading men. Without much romance in this romance, it rather takes away much of the fun.
So, that's it: A werewolf is wreaking havoc in the village, while the heroine has two beaus to choose from. What's a poor girl to do?
Fortunately, into their midst arrives Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), a professional werewolf hunter, a fellow who acts like a Grand Inquisitor, with an entourage of soldiers and the blessings of the Pope. Apparently, there are enough werewolves abroad in the land for him to make a comfortable living traveling from village to village cleaning up the hoods.
Father Solomon tells the villagers that the werewolf lives among them, and it could be their next-door neighbor. That's helpful, turning friend against friend, and everybody is suspect, including Valerie's two boyfriends, Valerie's parents (Virginia Madsen and Billy Burke), Valerie's grandmother (Julie Christie, as lovely as ever, whose character gives Valerie her red cloak), and various other townspeople.
Here's the thing: Although the "Twilight" movies have had best-selling books behind their success, "Red Riding Hood" has only the children's fairy tale, the physical appeal of the young actors, and some winsome settings going for it. It's not enough to build a film on.
At about fifteen minutes into the movie, the Wife-O-Meter started making wisecracks about the characters, a bad sign. The love triangles (yes, plural) in the story reminded me of the old soap operas my mother used to watch when I was a kid in the Fifties: "As the World Turns," "The Edge of Night," that sort of thing. Despite the best efforts of Seyfried, Oldman, Christie, and Madsen, the film disintegrates into silliness pretty quickly, with just about every event telegraphed a league in advance. I'd hang out in a different hood if I had the chance.
The Warner engineers do a pretty good job transferring the movie to disc in its original 2.40:1 aspect ratio using an MPEG-4/AVC codec and a dual-layer BD50. Colors are quite lush, the greens of the forest, the browns of the town, and the red of Valerie's cloak showing up nicely. Even though the director favors softening the scene on occasion to give the movie the appearance of a fairy tale, the result is most often appealing. Definition varies slightly but is good most of the time, except in those moments when the director wants to get all misty-eyed on us. Black levels are solid, and shadow detail is fine.
The lossless 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio is about what we have come to expect from a romantic fantasy thriller. It displays good midrange clarity, plenty of mid-bass and midrange punch, and an effective use of the surrounds, especially for environmental noises and occasional action sequences.
Disc one of this two-disc Combo Pack contains two versions of the feature film in high definition: the regular theatrical cut and an alternate cut with an ending not seen in theaters. Neither ending seemed satisfactory to me. In addition, the disc contains a picture-in-picture commentary, "Secrets Behind the Red Cloak," on the theatrical version only, with comments by the stars and director, plus storyboards and artwork and such.
What's more, the disc contains a number of other items, the first being a five-minute featurette, "The Reinvention of Red Riding Hood," on the origins of the fairy tale and its fanciful translation to the screen. That's followed by "Red Riding Hood: Red's Men," three minutes on the movie's two male co-stars; "Red Riding Hood: Making of the Score," eleven minutes with director Hardwicke and composer Brian Reitzell; "Before the Fur: Making of the CG Wolf," forty seconds on the phony-looking CGI; "Casting Tapes," seven minutes on the casting of the two male co-stars; "Rehearsals," six minutes on three scenes; and "Red Riding Hood in 73 seconds," the whole movie in less than a minute and a half, probably the best way to watch it.
Finally, we get four deleted scenes totaling about four minutes; a two-minute gag reel; two music videos: "The Wolf" and "Just a Fragment of You"; a thirty-second joke bit called "Play Sec"; BD-Live access; twelve scene selections; English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish spoken languages; French, Portuguese, and Spanish subtitles; and English captions for the hearing impaired.
Disc two, a DVD, contains the feature film in standard definition and a digital copy of the film (the offer expiring June 12, 2012). A cardboard slipcover with an attached holographic picture encloses the flimsy two-disc Eco-case.
Parting Shots:
The Wife-O-Meter thought teenage girls would love "Red Riding Hood" and gave the film a 6/10 rating for that reason alone. Fair enough. The husband thought that while the movie was attractive to look at, it was boring and predictable to follow, and he gave it a 4/10. Let's compromise on a "5."
"All sorrows are less with bread."
Don't ask.
