Severe storms take aim at central and eastern U.S.
- Severe storms could hit Memphis%2C Birmingham%2C Nashville and Cincinnati on Thursday
- In a typical year%2C the U.S. sees about 64 tornadoes in the first two months of the year
- On the storm%27s cold side%2C blizzard conditions are possible in Iowa and Minnesota
The first major severe weather outbreak of the season is forecast to wallop portions of the central and eastern USA Thursday and Friday. While the biggest threats will be powerful wind gusts, flash flooding and large hail, a few tornadoes are also possible, AccuWeather predicts.
More than 60 million people live in the risk areas, said AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed parts of the mid-South under a "moderate" risk for severe storms Thursday. Severe storms could rattle cities such as Memphis, Nashville and Louisville on Thursday.
"The greatest risk for a handful of tornadoes will be where the air is the warmest and most humid, which is most likely from western Tennessee to northwestern Mississippi on Thursday," according to AccuWeather meteorologist Henry Margusity.
On Friday, the potential for strong to severe storms will reach from northern Florida to Pennsylvania, New Jersey and southern New York state.
So far this year, according to preliminary data, there have been only three reports of tornadoes across the USA, said Greg Carbin, warning coordination meteorologist with the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. This is the lowest number in 60 years of official weather records.
In a typical year, the U.S. sees about 64 tornadoes in the first two months of the year, based on data from 1991-2010 from the National Climatic Data Center.
While few people seem to be enjoying the bitterly cold weather this winter, it's been the main cause of the quiet tornado season: "Unusually cold weather across the continental U.S. is a contributing factor to keeping tornado activity limited during the winter months," said Carbin.
Speaking of winter, the same storm that produces the severe threat will have a narrow, but likely potent winter side Thursday, according to Weather Channel meteorologist Kevin Roth. Heavy, wind-driven snow is forecast from north Kansas to northwest Michigan, he said.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service had posted blizzard warnings for much of northern Iowa and southern Minnesota for Thursday, where up to 3-6 inches of snow are possible, along with howling wind gusts of up to 40 mph.
Winter storm warnings were also in place for much of Wisconsin and northern Michigan.

"We must never assume that artists did not see what they did not paint." – E.H. Gombrich.
But how often do we look at a painting and not assume that it includes everything the artist saw? Like the Belgian Fernand Khnopff, his near contemporary, the Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershoi was the most deliberate of artists. Nothing in the paintings is accidental and nothing is elucidated for the viewer.
When Hammershoi (1864-1916) painted the lake at Gentofte (at top) in 1903, the small farming village was in the process of becoming a suburb of Copenhagen but for him and his wife Ida Ilsted Hammershoi, northern Zealand was a place for a quiet summer vacation. There were new houses behind him as he painted and small farms nearby but Hammershoi chose instead the light, and the water as his subject. In Hammershoi's landscapes there is no discernible influence of the 19th century Romantic sublime with its mood of remoteness from the ordinary. Hammershoi was perfectly capable of teasing sublimity out of the mundane. His broad panoramas become, on close inspection, carefully chosen and cropped.
In Hammershoi's hands the road that gives the picture its name is its least noticeable feature. Kongevejen, or the King's High Road, was the main thoroughfare leading north from Copenhagen. The road had been laid out in the 1620s by order of Christian IV, the king whose ambitious city building plans included the construction of Christianhavn, an artificial island bisected by canals, where the Hammershois lived for most of their married life (at 25 Strandgade and 30 Strandgade).
At first glance, Jaegersborg Dryehave (above) is an ordinary forest landscape, one of several that Hammershoi painted from the inside looking out. Nordic painters often portrayed trees as something like symbolic humans in their vertical stance but Hammershoi draws our eyes to the spaces between the trees. This effect had been discovered accidentally by 19th century photographers, as a by-product of technical limitations. In Hammershoi's paintings there are no accidents, and we are left to marvel at how he makes the trees and even the ground dematerialize before our eyes as he mesmerizes us with effects of light.
"When people who tumble about in the bustle of a big city think now and then - perhaps with a little sigh of longing - of life in the country, there hovers in their mind the picture of an existence blessed with leisure. They imagine and endless series of quiet days in which every minute passes with the imposing serenity of a grandfather's clock that measures eternity in the parlor of an old farmhouse.
And in reality, there is no place where time is more fleeting and where life seems shorter than in the country. Even if the individual days may seem prosaic enough in their uniformity, the weeks are in a hurry - the years flee. One fine day life is over and everything disappears like a remnant of s summer or winter nights' dream."
- from The Royal Guest (Der kongelige Gaest - 1908) by Henrik Pontoppidan, translated from the Danish by Phillip Marshall Mitchell and Kenneth H. Ober, University of Chicago Press: 1977.
Henrik Pontoppidan (1857-1943) won the Nobel Literature Prize in 1917 for his portrayals of everyday Danish life. His novels and stories included the upheavals of modern life that Hammershoi left out of his paintings.
Note: English pronunciation of the name Hammershoi renders the third syllable as "skoy."

Research and Melanoma: Why it Matters
What is Melanoma?
Skin cancer exists in different types, body sites, and people. The three most common forms of skin cancer are squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. It occurs when the cells responsible for the skin's color (melanocytes) begin to grow and divide abnormally. Melanocytes produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its natural color. When skin is exposed to the sun, melanocytes produce more pigment, causing the skin to tan, or darken. In most cases, melanocytes will continue to produce melanin after becoming cancerous; thus melanoma is often recognized as dark brown or black (pigmented) lesions on the skin.
Melanoma is aggressive, meaning that though the cancer may start on the skin, it can quickly spread to other parts of the body. Because melanoma spreads rapidly, it is often not discovered until it has reached its later stages when treatments may be ineffective. One person dies from melanoma every hour, and it is the most common form of cancer to be found in young adults between the ages of 25 and 29. Melanoma rates are increasing in people with each passing year, especially in young women.
Melanoma: Different Causes – One Effect
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light has long been considered a risk factor for developing melanoma. Our bodies accumulate more and more UV light as we age, which increases our risk for developing all three types of skin cancer. This exposure can occur in a variety of ways, including from the sun's rays and man-made sources such as tanning beds. In fact, people who use indoor tanning beds are 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma than those who have never used a tanning bed. Melanoma is often found on areas of the body that have been exposed to UV light.
However, there are exceptions to this rule. Melanoma has been known to develop on areas that have not received a great deal of UV light, such as between the toes and under folds of skin. Another important exception among this kind of skin cancer is color. While melanoma usually becomes visible as dark brown or black moles, it has also been known to be pink or light red in color. A further difference lies in who develops it. If the accumulation of UV light is the chief risk factor for melanoma, how does this explain melanoma in a ten year old boy? Why does melanoma appear in areas that are rarely exposed to the sun? Why does melanoma appear as a black mole in one person and as a pink bump in another? The answer may lie in the genetic differences that can be shared and inherited among family members as well as genetic and molecular changes within the melanomas themselves that initiate or contribute to their growth.
Similar to the broader category of skin cancer, there are actually different types of melanoma. Physicians and researchers have recognized this fact by examining cancerous skin cells under a microscope; however, it is only recently that these differences in melanoma are being investigated and new treatments are being developed to "target" specific types of melanoma. Realizing what genes and molecular changes are linked to skin cancer development will allow physicians to develop treatments to address it most effectively.

Bees hold customers captive in Kentucky store
Millions of honeybees had swarmed building in downtown Danville
Customers trying to leave a store in a Kentucky town found themselves held hostage by more than a million honeybees.
The bees swarmed around the building in downtown Danville on Monday.
Fire crews quickly realized they would need expert help, calling in a nearby couple experienced in bee removal.
"We didn't want to just hose the bees off the side of the building because they are so vital to our world's ecosystem," Danville Fire Chief Woody Ball told The Advocate-Messenger. "They aren't hurting anybody, and we're willing to stay here with it and let them collect the bees."
Amazingly, no one -- bees or people -- were injured in the incident.
"A queen bee died, and these bees followed another queen bee that took her place, and she's looking for a place to start a colony," Ball said. "This is where she landed and it looked like a good spot, so that's where the rest of the bees landed."

The latest US proposal for Middle East peace envisions a Palestinian state within two years, according to Egyptian officials cited in a report Monday – a goal immediately dismissed by Israel as unrealistic.
The report came amid a flurry of shuttle diplomacy ahead of the visit soon by George Mitchell, US President Barack Obama's special envoy to the Middle East. Mr. Mitchell is expected to push for a restart of stalled talks between Israelis and Palestinians. After a disappointing 2009 the Obama Administration is expected to recommit itself to resolving a conflict that has defied diplomatic solutions for decades.
Egyptian sources gave the Cairo-based daily Al-Ahram details about the US draft proposal, according to the Israeli daily Ha'aretz. (Click here for Al-Ahram's website, in Arabic.)
As part of the plan, both Israel and the Palestinians would present written guarantees underlining their obligations prior to the completion of final-status talks, an Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesperson told Al-Ahram.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is meeting his Egyptian counterpart, Hosni Mubarak, in the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday to discuss Israel's latest offers to renew talks with the Palestinian Authority.
The meeting comes in the wake of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Cairo last week, where he presented some ideas for jump-starting the diplomatic process.
But the Israeli foreign minister immediately poured cold water on a two-year timetable for a peace deal, saying it was "not a realistic goal," according to Ha'aretz.
"We need to begin direct talks without committing to any timeframe." ... "In the past, timetables were set and not met and this led to violence," [Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor] Lieberman said.
The diplomatic buzz comes as activists mark the one-year anniversary of Israel's invasion of Gaza, which left 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers dead.
In recent days, the Egyptian government has opened a border crossing to the Gaza Strip, and allowed in more than a hundred foreign pro-Palestinian activists, many from France, Reuters reported.
President Obama trumpeted US re-engagement with the Israeli-Palestinian peace process shortly after taking office just under a year ago. But his diplomats' efforts bore little fruit in 2009.
One sticking point is Israeli settlements. Israel has agreed to a partial freeze of new settlement building. But the Palestinian Authority has said it wants a full freeze, including a stop to construction in disputed East Jerusalem, before it will return to the negotiating table.
(See map of the region, with Israeli settlements marked, here.)
Obama's administration drew criticism for first calling for a halt to all settlement activity, but then appearing to back off that demand by praising Israel's partial freeze. In late October, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Israel's "restraint" on settlements "unprecedented," wording that caused dismay in Arab capitals, MSNBC reported, and led Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to threaten to quit.
In an interview in the December 2009 issue of Foreign Policy, former US President Bill Clinton said he thought there was "some chance" that the Israelis and Palestinians might be ready for a deal, because "the long-term trend lines are bad for both sides."
Right now, Hamas is kind of discredited after the Gaza operation, and yet [the Palestinian Authority] is clearly increasing [its] capacity. They are in good shape right now, but if they are not able to deliver sustained economic and political advances, that's not good for them.
The long-term trends for the Israelis are even more stark, because they will soon enough not be a majority. Then they will have to decide at that point whether they will continue to be a democracy and no longer be a Jewish state, or continue to be a Jewish state and no longer be a democracy. That's the great spur.

LAWT Contributing Writer
A new charter school promising financial literacy and college education for all of its graduates plans to open its doors and a gateway to a brighter future for L.A. County students this August.
Executive Preparatory Academy of Finance, a new co-ed public charter high school located at 2506 W. Imperial Highway in Hawthorne, is the brainchild of Omar McGee. The proud Howard University alum and entrepreneur has combined his two loves - education and business - to help chart a path to economic independence for community youth.
McGee has partnered with various financial and community agencies to serve students through Executive Prep. According to McGee, after enrollment, students automatically get their own bank account through Bank of America.
In addition, financial classes, such as Banking 101, are integrated with A-G college prep courses. Students will be taught how to manage bank accounts, the difference between checking and savings, the importance of credit, how to use social security numbers, and the difference between creating a job and working for others.
"We teach them everything they need to know about business and on top of that, we flip the script. We give them an opportunity to actually run a business," McGee stated.
Executive Prep has partnered with 102.3 FM-KJLH Radio and disc jockey Kevin Nash to run its own radio station right on campus, according to the young educator. Part of the student's responsibilities will be developing marketing packages to solicit companies for advertisements, he shared.
"During the first and second year, we find out our kids' strengths and through those strengths, we expose them to different career paths. If they want to be a lawyer, doctor, music exec, whatever they want to be, we guide them from there," with mentors who are highly successful in those fields, McGee explained.
The mentors are critical to give students a true comparison of the actual impact of an education compared to the streets, he continued. "Nine times out of 10, kids don't have a comparison. They just see it's a one sided deal because the only thing they see is the success of drug dealers. They don't see the fruits and the beautiful thing that an education can give you," he said.
Thus, Executive Prep's field trips will journey to residences of famous doctors, lawyers, and entertainers to give them a visual picture of what they can achieve and to help them make a logical comparison, McGee stated.
The school grew out of Inner City Outreach, McGee's non-profit organization, which he began while at Howard. It helps students pay for their college educations.
"I actually started my non-profit organization through experience. I had no idea what a non-profit organization was ... I always wanted to help but I just didn't know the vehicle because coming from the environments we come from, we're just not exposed to a lot," McGee said.
He had big dreams of becoming a film director after college but his father's message of community first and giving back resonated with him long after his campus days in Washington, D.C.
"I've seen so much death and I've seen so much violence in my life, I know the need first hand. It's not just me reading it, what these kids need. It's through my own experiences," the Flint, Michigan native told the Sentinel.
His niche is he's from the same environment as the youth he's trying to serve and that's a factor that's lacking in a growing number of schools, he said.
At Executive Prep, not only are students given an aim, they're given a target, McGee stated. "You know by the time you graduate from high school, if you know what you want to be, that's half the battle because you know as well as I know, there are people in grad school still undecided what they want to do with their life," he said.
McGee added, "Our expectations are high. There's only one rule. There's only one goal. And there's only one way out. The only way out of this school is college."
Executive Prep is currently accepting student applications for 2013-2014 at www.executiveprep.org.

NANJING - A new human case of H7N9 bird flu has been reported in East China's Jiangsu province, the provincial health authorities said on Saturday.
The man surnamed Xuan, 54, is receiving treatment in a hospital in the provincial capital of Nanjing after his contraction of the virus was confirmed on Thursday, according to a statement issued by Jiangsu's health department.
This is the second case reported in the province in 2014. The other, a 54-year-old woman in Nanjing, was reported on Wednesday.
The two patients are currently in stable conditions, said the statement.
Human cases of H7N9 have been reported in the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong as well as Shanghai Municipality so far this year.

At least eight people were sent to hospitals after several homes collapsed in Philadelphia Monday morning, apparently after an explosion, a fire official said.
A contractor was doing rehab work in a vacant home when it collapsed, Deputy Fire Chief Robert Coyne told reporters. The two adjacent houses are also collapsing, he said.
Witnesses told CNN affiliate KYW that they heard an explosion and smelled gas after the blast. Coyne said authorities were still investigating what caused the homes to collapse, but it appeared that there was an explosion.
The entire block rumbled, sending neighbors out into the street.
"I was sitting in the house and I heard a big bang," Mike McGraw told KYW. "The door slammed and the TV went out."
His son, Mike McGraw Jr., said he saw the buckled buildings and watched firefighters hosing down a man who had been burned.
"They threw this baby out the window because the girl was on fire and the fireman had to catch the baby," he said.
Coyne said one person was in critical condition and 25 people had been evacuated from the south Philadelphia neighborhood.
Aerial footage of the scene showed a large pile of rubble in between two buildings.
Last month, a four-story wall of a vacant building in Philadelphia collapsed onto an adjacent Salvation Army thrift store, killing six people and injuring 13.
Authorities charged crane operator Sean Benschop, 42, with involuntary manslaughter and other related charges.
CNN's Melanie Whitley and Sarah Hoye contributed to this report.

I recently had the chance to ask Lorraine Downes, spokeswoman for Living Nature, a few questions to help my readers get an inside look at this natural skincare line. Hope you enjoy. This will be the first of many more company interviews to come!
- Please tell us a little about your journey and the founding of Living by Nature. Living Nature approached me to be their first ever spokesperson. It was perfect timing as at that time, I was seriously looking at my life and how I was going to approach my 40's and the aging process. After making the decision that I was going to age naturally, and trialling the product for six months, I joined forces with Living Nature. Living Nature was founded in 1987 by Suzanne Hall who started using NZ native plants to make skincare products for her own skin as she wanted to use only natural ingredients. Today it is privately NZ owned.
- How does living in New Zealand impact the formulation of the line? NZ is known for its nature and its native plants which have been used medicinally by Maori (people of NZ) for centuries. So, the range is based on the unique native botanicals like Harakeke Flax, Totarol, Manuka Honey, Manuka Oil, Hallo Clay and Kelp found only here in NZ.
- What sets Living Nature apart from other natural beauty companies? Firstly, all the products are 100% natural and not many companies can say that. Living Nature's products carry the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetics Seal which is a world-leading independent auditor of natural skincare, and set some of the most rigorous standards worldwide for naturalness. The products are made here in NZ at the Living Nature's own factory where all product development, formulation, filling and dispatching is done. Even the packaging has no nasties in it and is recyclable and 100% free from BPA and phthalates. The recyclable paper packaging uses vegetable dyes and inks and no chloride or dioxin.
- Could you choose one or two Living Nature products as your favorite(s)? I find this really hard to do as I love so many of the products equally! But I would say the Radiance Night Oil which my skin just loves because of the wonderful bouquet of naturally healing and restorative oils-calendula, jojoba, rose,rosehip oil, frankincense, the smell is blissful! Lovely to apply just before bed. The Extra Hydrating Gel is exceptional as it truly nourishes and balances the skin and restores the vitality to my skin which at my age is a must.
- What products would you recommend to someone trying Living Nature for the first time? Obviously, the products should be in harmony with a person's skin and its needs ie dry/oily/normal/mature etc. But I think The Radiance Night Oil, Vitalising Cleanser which is a very gentle and effective cleanser, Eye Make Up Remover-again so gentle, no stinging or oiliness with this product and Firming Flax Cream- fantastic for softening fine lines.
Lorraine Downes, New Zealand's only ever Miss Universe and former Dancing With The Stars champion, joined Living Nature in 2010 to encourage women around the world to turn to 100% natural skincare as the healthy, safe and effective alternative to synthetic beauty products. Lorraine's love of New Zealand and the miracle properties of the ancient native botanicals is what propels her to help women discover what she has discovered — you can take the healing and rejuvenating properties of nature and apply them to yourself. As a professional image consultant, she has worked with women for 25 years.

With Graph Search, Facebook Needs to Go Beyond the "Like"
Facebook unveiled its Graph Search product on Tuesday morning, a personalized search engine built for users looking to surface content inside the social network.
Problem: One of Facebook's main ways of serving up relevant content is based on the "Like" button. Think of the stuff in your news feed — much of what flows through it comes courtesy of the types of items you've "Liked" in the past.
This is not to say Facebook only relies on the "Like" button. Things like profile visits, things you've listend to and photos you've viewed all serve as signals. But to serve up the best search results — especially in terms of places — Facebook needs far more signals to return the most pertinent stuff to its users.
In other words, "Liking" isn't enough to cut it anymore.
That's why the company will begin to lean heavily on a greater number of signals, emphasizing new ways of collecting data from users inside of Facebook. As Mark Zuckerberg said at the press conference this morning, check in to a restaurant, for example, and Facebook will now prompt you for a little bit more insight on your feelings on the place. It'll ask you to rate the restaurant from one to five stars, for instance, and prompt you with a question on how much you like the place.
The other hope is that users will begin to check in to more Places using Facebook's location services on their mobile phones and discover other points of interest using the new "Nearby" tab — also on their mobile phones. So not only will you be able to use the services to open up local discovery, but your history of check-ins and visits can help refine the types of places you'll search for and are likely to visit in the future.
This is well-trodden territory from competitors like Yelp, which relies heavily on ratings, and Foursquare, which is the go-to mobile application for checking in to places. Both of these services are essentially local discovery engines, aiming to make it easier to navigate the world.
But if Facebook can rely on its powers of suggestion to get people to enter more data — like ratings of places and check-ins — the more signals will feed into Graph Search, and ostensibly, the better the results will be.
Potential roadblocks: Right now, Facebook isn't known well for either check-ins or ratings — those are verticals owned by Foursquare and Yelp. But again, Facebook is far, far bigger than the 30 million-user Foursquare, and has potential for many more place ratings if the company can convince users to dole out their judgments.
Beyond check-ins and ratings, there are a number of other signals that Zuckerberg wouldn't get into onstage (my guess is that they're nerdy to the extreme). But one thing is for sure: If Facebook wants to own relevance, it'll need to go far beyond our willingness to "Like" things.

White Hair Stylist Doing Black Hair in Pretoria?
Do you really know how to take care of black children's hair? Of course you know because it is just similar to taking care of you own hair. Black hair is a result of the proper caring of it. You simply have to do extra effort to maintain the loveliness of it.
You should shampoo the black hair with the specific shampoo that will suit your children's flowing hair. As they will grow older, you can use conditioners that will help keep their hair moist and will act as a hydrating agent. Conditioners should not be done everyday because this will then cause falling of hair.
Conditioners you will buy should contain the natural oils so that the black hair of your children will nourish further and will not get so dry. You should comb your children's hair lightly and gently starting at the base of the hair. Avoid using fine tooth combs but instead use combs that have wide tooth.
Put your hand above the spot you are combing so that the children would not experience pain. Do not super tight the braids and or pigtails because this can damage the hair and can cause breakage. Another tip on how to take care of black children's hair is by limiting the use of beads since this can cause trauma because some of the beads are heavy so one should use appropriate accessories at the right time to avoid any problem. When the hair is kinky then it is better to use a good detangling spray. So these are some of the tips on how to take care of a black children's hair.
DevaCurl Products For Color-Treated Curly Hair
Hair extensions can be attached to your head in many different ways, including gluing, tubing, sewing, and clipping on. Different methods have different advantages. The method you choose will depend on many factors: your hair, your lifestyle, your budget, and your needs, for starters. If you are looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking hair extension, though, consider one of the fusion methods.
Fusion is generally the preferred method as fused hair extensions can last up to three to six months with skilled application and proper care. With fusion hair extensions, the extensions should be indistinguishable from your natural hair. If properly applied, the attachment site should be virtually invisible.
Fusion hair extensions are more expensive than other methods. If you want long-lasting, natural-looking luscious hair, they just might be the extensions for you.

Congratulations to Coach Mike Krzyzewski of the Duke Blue Devils for becoming the all time most winning coach in NCAA basketball history. Last night his team won the 903rd game of his coaching career and that number will only get higher as this season progresses, unless we start being more fair. After all, it is not fair that his team wins so much when there are so many other teams that are not doing as well.
There seems to be a more defined line between winning and losing teams these days. Winning teams always have more points and losing teams always have less. It just isn't fair. I would like to see the NCAA put some new rules in place to fix this. They need to find a way to take points from the team that is scoring more and give them to the teams who are scoring less. This will make it much more equal and fair and everyone will be happy.
Right now there is a terrible injustice going on in college basketball. Teams like Duke are manipulating the system by using money and their continued winning year after year to unfairly entice better players to their team, thus keeping the worse teams stuck in a losing way. These other teams will never be able to compete as long as Duke is allowed to keep all the points that their players score. That is why I would like to see point equality rules put in place to even the playing field. Here is how that could work.
If Duke is playing a team that is not capable of beating them, and we know they can't because we will continually tell them that they can't so soon that will quit trying, that team will get the first 36% of the points that Duke scores. Now this other team should not worry about practice anymore either because this system will fix the inequalities. If that 36% is not enough for the other team to tie, and that is all we really want is for everyone to be the same, then for every basket Duke scores, the points will be divided according to how much the NCAA decides it is needed. Also if the other teams players should decide not to play anymore because of this unfairness, then Duke's players should be made to finish the game for the other team.
We will also need to address the height thing too. Many players on other teams are not as tall as Duke's players. This in not fair. Players who are less fortunate than those tall players should have options to make things fair too. Short players should be able to either lower the goal that they are shooting at, use a ladder that is wheeled to them, preferably by a Duke player, use a trampoline to provide extra height of his jumps, or it would just be easier for Duke's players not to be able to try to block their shots and all the previous mentioned suggestions be available if necessary.
Duke will not be exempt from practicing hard and spending their money to provide top coaches and facilities even if most of their points are taken away. They will need to practice harder and score even more points to maintain the level needed to attract top players and staff to their program. Duke will be responsible for trying to keep the stands full of fans and the networks broadcasting the games even if the other teams don't try. Remember it is not their fault that Duke is so good and they stink. Basketball has become unfairly controlled by corrupt winners of games and championships.
As far as Coach K's winning record, that will need to be dealt with too. There are coaches who will never attain that many wins because Coach K is a fat-cat coach. His wins need to be stripped from him and given to coaches who have never coached in the NCAA or are getting fired for not winning any games. This is largely due to "Big Basketball" like Duke winning so that others can not. Perhaps Coach K should be fired and his wins taken and redistributed and a less fortunate "wannabe" coach put in his place to help make things fair.
Fairness and equality will make basketball a game that anyone can play and all teams compete at the same level. Although TV revenue will drop dramatically due to the predictable outcome of every game, money will be taken from other more successful programming that is unfairly being watched.
Coach K…PLEASE KEEP WINNING!
Please Keep Winning

Rafael Nadal draws inspiration from Brazil soccer legend Ronaldo
Rafael Nadal is drawing inspiration from the Brazilian soccer great Ronaldo as he returns from an injury.
With Ronaldo watching, Nadal won the Brazil Open on Sunday for his first title after a seven-month layoff caused by treatment of his left knee. Nadal said Ronaldo is "an example" to be followed because of his determination to rebound from a series of career-threatening knee injuries.
Despite winning again, the Spaniard is still bothered by his knee and said he is far from fully recovered, although he hopes the victory will mark a new beginning in his career.
"Ronaldo is an example to a lot of people because of all that he was able to achieve despite what he had to go through with all the knee problems in his career," Nadal said. "He is definitely an example to me. He's an example of determination and hard work."
Ronaldo overcame three serious knee operations. The former Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan forward won two World Cups with Brazil and holds the tournament's career scoring record with 15 goals.
"He was unstoppable, one of the best players of all time despite all the bad luck he had with the knee," Nadal said.
The Spaniard was out of action since last year because a torn and inflamed tendon in his knee, an injury he says is improving.
"I didn't have so many problems, I never needed the surgeries," Nadal said. "But I can imagine how hard it must have been for Ronaldo with the complicated surgeries that he had to go through."
Nadal beat former world No. 3 David Nalbandian of Argentina 6-2, 6-3 to win his 51st title and first since beating Novak Djokovic last June for his seventh French Open championship.
The Brazil Open was Nadal's second tournament since his return. He played at the VTR Open in Chile the week before, losing the singles and doubles final. The final in Brazil was only his eighth singles match since the comeback.
Nadal looked far from his best in his first two tournaments and said that the knee injury still limited him physically.
"There are days that the knee still hurts and it's very complicated," he said. "I need some time to keep improving and become more competitive again. Let's see how it goes."
The 11-time Grand Slam champion admitted the level of the competition in Brazil was not as high as in other tournaments.
Nadal will play another clay-court tournament in Mexico this month and hopes to be fully fit by the French Open. He hopes to play at Indian Wells, Calif., next month but hasn't made a decision.
"We are thinking day to day, week to week," the 26-year-old said. "We'll see how I feel before making a decision on where I'll be playing in the near future, it will depend on how the knee improves."

Denture Reline
Over time, changes in your gum tissue and jawbone can affect the way your dentures fit and feel. Your restoration may begin to feel loose and move more frequently. There are two methods for improving the fit of an existing set of dentures: rebasing or relining. Rebasing involves fabricating an entirely new plate, or base, for your dentures. This process can take a long time and require you to wear a temporary restoration. For a quicker solution, you can bring your restoration to your dentist's office for a denture reline. A reline can immediately improve the fit of your dentures and your comfort.

Books, books, books
Here are three quick snapshots taken with my phone this morning: bookcases in my living room, my dining room, and my office; I didn't bother photographng the wall full in one of the guest rooms. But take my word for it...there is a fourth wall of books not shown.
And now I am getting ready to move. To a smaller house. One with fewer bookcases. Oh dear, oh dear.
You can see, in the office snapshot, that there are storage boxes already filled with "office stuff"...papers, etc. But I have not yet begun on the books. I don't quite know where to start.
FInding recipients is not the problem. I have plenty of destinations for these books. The problem is selecting what goes, what stays.
Seventeen years ago I was asked by a local bookstore, the wonderful WORDSWORTH'S, now sadly gone, to write an article for their newsletter. I had just moved at the time, and that move was to a LARGER house, not a smaller one. In fact it was to this very house. I wrote about arranging my books, something I did that year in an orderly fashion, as if I were a librarian. For the first time in what had been a rather scattered and disorderly life, I had put all the biographies, memoirs, collected letters into the same shelves...and more than that: alphabetically. They are still there; those are the dining room bookcases. Fiction and non-fiction...also alphabetical...went into the living room. Poetry is in the office, along with my own books, and reference books, plus a lot of quirky volumes that are hard to categorize....

It is not really in the interests of Japan's big two distillers to tell you too much about it but Japanese whisky had a prehistory.
If you listen to the official versions from Nikka or Suntory, Japanese whisky started with a bang in 1919 or 1924. They have slightly different versions of the creation myth, emphasising the role of either Masataka Taketsuru or Shinjiro Torii in bringing the gospel of authentic whisky from Scotland, but basically they agree: quite suddenly, out of the blue, Japan started making proper Scotch style whisky.
Whisky arrives in Japan? Perry`s list of gifts for the Emperor
It is not quite as simple as that. Japan had a long dalliance with whisky before Taketsuru travelled to Scotland or Torii opened the Yamazaki Distillery. I have not yet found any reference to whisky in the Edo period, when Japan had a policy of excluding foreigners, but it may well have made an appearance. Even when the country was closed, the Japanese kept close tabs on things foreign through their experts in "Dutch studies" and through Dutch traders given limited rights to trade.
What is certain is that whisky, or rather "whiskey", arrived simultaneously with Japan's opening to the West. When Commodore Matthew Perry came in his black ships to negotiate a treaty with Japan in 1854, he brought with him a barrel and 110 additional gallons of American whiskey as a gift for the Emperor and his subjects. (By all accounts, the Emperor's barrel was purloined by the Shogun's retainers and never reached the Chrysanthemum Throne.)
In the murky half century between that first introduction and the 1920s, numerous Japanese (and, perhaps, foreigners) had a go at producing whisky, in the broadest sense of a bottle with the word "whisky" on it. Indeed, some quite large companies seem to have entered the market. Olive Checkland, in her book Japanese Whisky, Scotch Blend (review here), wrote:
"Foreign liquors are known in Japan as 'yoshu'.... In general, spirit manufacturers emerged in Japan from chemists working in the chemist's shop. In 1871, the English factory at Yamashita in Yokohama was attempting its own manufacture of 'yoshu'. Later, Karakichi Takiguchi experimented making spirits at his own chemist's shop at Takekawa-cho, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo. By 1912, when the Meiji Emperor died, there were several companies manufacturing spirits. These included Kanseido, foreign drinks manufacturer of Takiguchi, Tokyo; Denbei Kamiya, a foreign drinks maker who also ran Kamiya Bar in Asakusa, Tokyo; and Nishikawa who made foreign drinks in Osaka." (p.31)
Shinjiro Torii worked as a young man with the Konishi foreign drinks maker in Osaka, owned by his uncle Gisuke Konishi. From 1888, Konishi was making and selling "whisky" as well as beer and brandy [1]. The Konishi company of today, most famous for its production of fine glues, traces its history back to those early days of Western liquor production. There is reason to believe that some of the whisky produced by these pioneers might have more in common with a firm holding glue than a proper whisky. Checkland describes Masataka Taketsuru's first job, as a chemist for the big alcohol producer Settsu, as involving producing "artificial spirits ... by judicious mixing of a wide range of alcohol, sugar, perfumes, spices and flavourings." Ew!
There was some importing of whisky but there was also quite a lot of Japanese-produced synthetic "whisky" masquerading as the real thing. The first appearance of Shinjiro Torii's legendary Torys brand came around 1919 on a bottle of "Finest Liqueur Old Scotch Whisky" ("liqueur" was sometimes used as a synonym for "blended" in those days). The label said it had been bottled by the "Torys Distillery". This was before any genuine Japanese distillery had been built.
This may, of course, may have been a genuine import suffering from a certain looseness of language but there were other clearer cases of fraud. On April 19th, 1923, the commercial supplement of the Japan Chronicle reported Scotch whisky being sold in Japan from "Leith, London".
That October, a month after the Great Kanto Earthquake had annihilated Tokyo and Yokohama with the loss of 140,000 lives, Shinjiro Torii bought land between Osaka and Kyoto to build the Yamazaki distillery. It is with Yamazaki and its first manager, Masataka Taketsuru, that the official history of Japanese whisky making begins.

Exhibition Preparation - Hijacked III
As the months run away with me, I realised I hadn't been updating you on all things exhibition wise and much has happened, dates changing, shipping commencing and shows due to open in a days in some cases! As the original pieces got shipped back from Finland in mid January, a schedule was put together to send them all out again to other shows throughout the year. As well as the many shows happening this year, there is some very exciting news regarding forthcoming publications, which I will post as and when they are released, but first the Hijacked Publication UK/AUS is being released in Perth this Friday 17th February at The Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts.

Royals Get Perez Back, Recall Herrera from Minors
KANSAS CITY (AP) - The Kansas City Royals reinstated catcher Salvador Perez from the restricted list and recalled right-hander Kelvin Herrera from Triple-A Omaha before Tuesday night's game against Minnesota.
To clear roster space, the Royals optioned catcher Adam Moore and reliever Louis Coleman to Omaha.
Perez left the club May 26 after the death of his grandmother. He was placed on the bereavement list for the maximum of seven days before going on the restricted list.
Herrera was sent to Omaha after struggling to control home runs. The hard-throwing Herrera threw 4 2-3 shutout innings over five appearances for the Storm Chasers.
The Royals also claimed outfielder Quintin Berry off waivers from the Detroit Tigers and optioned him to Omaha. He was hitting .168 in 49 games for Triple-A Toledo this season.

Most days, I'm finding in my old age, just take us to the end of the line and boot us in the ass. Most of the time, those days need barely to touch us and we just fall down, already snoring as we hit the pillow or the couch, finally the couch. We just spend ourselves obsessively, feeling that the work and the effort put into the work are our distinguishing characteristics. They are the parts of us that will eventually get noticed and it will be what we're respected for. These thoughts prove to be our nourishment, insofar as it can take us. Mind you, we still wind up on the couch, slumped bodies, a beer cracked off to the side, with a remote control in one hand and little energy to do anything other than that. These are most days, but then there are the ones we really live for. We know that they're coming, but we're just not sure when.
We get lulled into our everyday lives, after a certain number of years, but every so often we are reminded of the kinds of emotions and spectacles that Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano of JOHNNYSWIM sing about. The husband and wife duo, who spend most of their time in Los Angeles these days write songs about feelings and brief periods of passionate time that we can't help but envy. We can live vicariously through them, believing that we're younger than we look, luckier than we feel. They sing about love and vigor the way that it came to us originally - like lightning bolts and flashes of brilliant light. We let it all get to us. We let it soak into our skin and muscles and bones and just take over. We were fools for it. We wanted nothing more.
Sooner or later, most everyone gets into the tougher parts of love and living and some of those pure feelings wane some, but damn if it hadn't been great to begin with, even when it was obviously ill-fated and suspect. Ramirez and Sudano are two gorgeous people (just look at any photograph of them) and the intense sensations that they put into these folk-pop songs are glorious. They reach skyward and wind up making up the distance in a hurry. They sing about the feelings that can get into you, as if they could just be found in a cereal box. They can be had and then you can have them too. They sing about getting married "in a fever" and even if you haven't had such a thing happen to you, they make you believe in it. It must have been how they did it for it might have been the only way they knew how.

Carven Scarves
French heritage house Carven was founded in 1945 by Marie-Louise Carven. Known for her use of feminine fabrics and global textiles like African wax cloth and Indonesian batik, Madame Carven provided women with an easy yet unconventional vision of luxury. Dior alumnus and former right-hand to legendary French designer Sonia Rykiel, creative director Serge Ruffieux ushers in a new era for the Carven woman. Off-beat, modern silhouettes abound by way of crop tops, voluminous shorts and miniskirts, and colorful overcoats, Ruffieux places an idiosyncratic spin on the house's trademark ladylike aesthetic. Mix-and-match patterns, safari jackets, homespun embroideries, workwear-inspired denim jackets and wide-leg jeans, textural wool overcoats, and flowing floral dresses reference Madame Carven's penchant for travel and textiles, while youthful basics maintain an air of sophistication with bright colorblocking and sharply-tailored structural accents.
There are currently no products available for Carven Scarves.

Since the development of Prozac, the first of the selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), this family of drugs has been expanding. The SSRIs are used for both severe and mild to moderate depression as well as for a variety of other conditions. These drugs work primarily by altering the action of the neurotransmitter (chemical messenger) serotonin in the brain. SSRI antidepressants include
- Citalopram (Celexa)
- Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
- Paroxetine (Paxil)
- Sertraline (Zoloft)
- and others
Other antidepressants that increase serotonin activity include
- Nefazodone (Serzone)
- Trazodone (Desyrel)
- Venlafaxine (Effexor)
The body uses the natural substance 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) to manufacture serotonin, and supplemental forms have been used for treating depression and migraine headaches .
S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) is a naturally occurring compound derived from the amino acid methionine and the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP). SAMe is widely used as a supplement for treating osteoarthritis and depression.
Based on one case report and current thinking about how they work, SAMe and 5-HTP should not be taken with SSRIs, as they might increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.
This syndrome is a toxic reaction brought on by too much serotonin activity. The condition requires immediate medical attention, with symptoms including anxiety, restlessness, confusion, weakness, tremor, muscle twitching or spasm, high fever, profuse sweating, and rapid heartbeat.
The report describes a case of apparent serotonin syndrome in an individual taking SAMe with clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant that increases serotonin activity. 1
Although SAMe is not currently known to affect serotonin, it does appear to have antidepressant effects and may in some way increase serotonin activity.
Because SSRIs increase serotonin activity even more than clomipramine, a similar problem might occur if you combine SAMe with an SSRI.
The supplement 5-HTP is used by the body to manufacture serotonin, so it could also increase the risk of serotonin syndrome when combined with an SSRI.
The herb St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is primarily used to treat mild to moderate depression. One of its actions appears to be increasing the activity of serotonin in the brain.
If you are taking an SSRI medication, do not take the herb St. John's wort at the same time. It is possible that your serotonin levels might be raised too high, causing a dangerous condition called serotonin syndrome. 2,3 (Please see previous topic.)
Several case reports appear to bear this out. Serotonin syndrome was reported in five elderly individuals who began using St. John's wort while taking sertraline (four reports) or nefazodone (one report). 4 One individual had symptoms resembling serotonin syndrome after combining paroxetine (50 mg daily) and St. John's wort (600 mg daily). 5 Another person taking St. John's wort with two other serotonin-enhancing drugs was reported to experience serotonin syndrome. 6
Furthermore, if you wish to switch from an SSRI to St. John's wort, you may need to wait a few weeks for the SSRI to wash out of your system before it is safe to start taking the herb. The waiting time required depends on which SSRI you are taking. Ask your physician or pharmacist for advice.
Folate is a B vitamin that offers many important health benefits. Not only does it help prevent birth defects and possibly reduce the risk of heart disease, a recent study suggests that folate can also help SSRI antidepressants work better.
In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 127 individuals with severe depression were given either Prozac plus folate (500 mcg daily) or Prozac alone. 10 Researchers wanted to see whether the vitamin would increase the medication's effectiveness.
The results were different for men and women. Female participants definitely benefited from receiving folate along with the medication. While just under 50% of the women taking Prozac alone fully recovered from their depression, combination treatment produced a recovery rate of nearly 75%. This is a very marked difference, and one that makes a strong case for combining folate with antidepressant therapy.
Men, however, did not do any better on combination treatment than on Prozac alone. Researchers found evidence that a higher dose would have been necessary for male participants, perhaps 800 to 1,000 mcg daily. However, for dosages this high, medical supervision is necessary.
Fish oil contains essential fatty acids in the omega-3 family. Fish oil, its constituents, and a slightly modified fish oil constituent called ethyl-EPA have all been tested for treatment of depression. While a few small studies have suggested that these substances might enhance the effectiveness of antidepressant drugs; 25-28 the results of larger and better designed studies have been mostly negative. 14-24
SSRIs can cause many sexual side effects, including inability to achieve orgasm (in women) and impotence (in men). Case reports and open studies raised hopes that the herb ginkgo could help reverse these problems. 7-9 However, only double-blind, placebo-controlled studies can truly establish efficacy of a treatment, and when studies of this type were finally performed to evaluate ginkgo's potential effectiveness for this purpose, no benefits were seen. 11-12
As with ginkgo, ephedrine (extracted from the herb ephedra) does not appear any more effective than placebo for treatment of female sexual dysfunction caused by SSRIs.

Hanging out with friends who know God and know how to have fun is so important!
ChillOut is a 2-3 hour session that gives kids in Years 6 and 7 a fun and easy way to start Christian friendships that we hope will be the beginnings of strong, encouraging relationships that last through teenage years and beyond.

Someone once quipped that parenting is the only job you can never get trained for – you can read all the manuals, attend all the how-to sessions, but when it comes to actually looking after your own child, we're all learners.
To care for, nurture and raise another human being is a wonderful privilege and a profound experience. As a church our desire is to encourage and equip parents to be the best they can be and to model faith to their children in real and effective ways. We offer two Parenting Courses to help with this:
- [The Parenting Children Course](http://www.marriageandparenting.org.au/tpcc/) (for parents of 1-10 year olds), and
- [The Parenting Teenagers Course](http://www.marriageandparenting.org.au/tptc/) (for parents of 11-18 year olds)
Both courses run for 5 weeks and are for all parents/carers whether parenting on their own, as step-parents or as a couple. Each course includes informative and fun practical talks with film clips, street interviews and advice from parenting experts as well as small group discussions with parents at a similar stage.
Our next [Parenting Children Course](https://www.corouniting.org/events/the-parenting-children-course) will run on 5 Saturday evenings starting 1 June. Find out more and register on our [event](https://www.corouniting.org/events/the-parenting-children-course).
Please get in touch if you are interested in finding out more. Course costs are $35 per person ($70 per couple) and include course material and delicious supper.
CoroYouth runs from 7.00-9.00pm every Friday night during the school term for young people in Years 7-12.
Our aim is to "Lead young people to Jesus through authentic, Christ-centred relationships."
We are excited to see young people meet Jesus and discover the life that is found in Him! On a typical Friday night, we spend time in worship, hear a message of Jesus' love, play games, eat food, and enjoy spending time together. Each week is a little bit different, so come ready for anything!
Our team is made up of young adults from Coro, led by our Youth Leadership Team.
Throughout the year we also engage in several events, including [Live Life Loud](https://sa.uca.org.au/intergen/youth-events/live-life-loud/), [SAYCO](https://sa.uca.org.au/sayco/), [Youth Alive](https://www.youthalivesa.com/) and [SYG](https://www.stateyouthgames.net/home), with our Youth Camp in Term 4 a massive highlight!
Drop in some time, we'd love to get to know you!
To contact CoroYouth email firstname.lastname@example.com
Children and their families are an integral part of our life together as the family of God here at Coro. As an intergenerational church community, we place value on children worshipping together with the whole church family, also understanding the need for kids to have opportunities to learn and engage with the Bible in ways that are designed specifically for the different stages of their development.
On Sunday mornings our children spend the first half hour or so together with their families in worship. There are a couple of areas set aside for very young children with some quiet toys and books, however we encourage parents to help their children engage with the service by explaining to them what is happening and encouraging them to participate.
After around half an hour, the children move out to different programs that are designed to stimulate, encourage and enable each child to grow in their own faith journey and in their relationships with their peers. We have four different programs that we run most weeks:
- LPC (ages 0-3) is a free-play session for our very young ones
- Kindy Kids (ages 3-5) is a more structured program with story, craft and free time
- KBG (R-Yr6) has large group and small group times with teaching, memory verses, creative and fun activities and times of prayer.
- Bounce (Yrs7-10) learn through discussion, video clips, and games – always with plenty of food on offer!
See the tabs below for more information.
Note: The safety of the children in our care is paramount. Children are signed in and out of programs with all our helpers holding valid Working with Children Checks and key leaders having undergone Child-Safe Environments and First Aid training in line with the Uniting Church Child Safe Policy.
