The phone rings. It's the school, accusing your child of making racist remarks. The first emotion is embarrassment, next is the question, where did your child learn about racism? Then, you wonder if you inadvertently taught it to your child? Did they learn it from peers? Did it come from television? Finally, parents begin the quest of getting to the root of the problem and fixing it.
Luckily, today's children live in a world full of diversity and culture. The difficult part is learning and understanding the components of race and ethnicity. According to studies, cognitive development and maturity level, plus minimal encounters with those from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds impede a child's ability to understand and comprehend diversity.
Generally, until school age, children rarely learn about other cultures, or how these cultures influence who they become. Studies show that children unconsciously differentiate their peers based on what they can see rather than what they know, and this does not happen because of their parents' attitudes.
Children distinguish each other based on appearance rather than understanding, including some aspects of culture and ethnicity such as language, clothing, skin color, and even food. The child's cognitive development plays a part into why they may express some racism before they actually realize what they are doing. As children age, they begin to notice other aspects of racism that may include socioeconomic status and how their peers respond to this person.
Taking a proactive stance against racism is a result of parents seeking out opportunities to spend time engaging their children in cultural activities and events. It is important for children to have as many positive experiences as possible with people of different ethnic backgrounds as well as learn the world is bigger than their own backyard. Along with a growing awareness of the world, children gain respect for other cultures through understanding.
Teaching children to treat others, as they want to be treated is a positive proactive strategy to avoid racism, which builds tolerance for all despite race, sex, or disability. Exposing one's child to information through books, relationships, experiences, and videos helps a child develop empathy and understanding of others, as well as a since of belonging to a larger and diverse world.
Most importantly, parents must model respect and tolerance for all mankind because actions speak louder than words. Teaching children to respect all people creates future benefits for the child, and the world.

Rem Koolhaas founded OMA in 1975 together with Elia and Zoe Zenghelis and Madelon Vriesendorp. He graduated from the Architectural Association in London and in 1978 published Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan. In 1995, his book S,M,L,XL summarized the work of OMA in "a novel about architecture." He heads the work of both OMA and AMO, the research branch of OMA, operating in areas beyond the realm of architecture such as media, politics, renewable energy and fashion. Koolhaas has won several international awards including the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2000 and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 2010 Venice Biennale. Koolhaas is a professor at Harvard University where he conducts the Project on the City.
Reinier de Graaf joined OMA in 1996 as project director for De Rotterdam, the Netherlands' largest building, which is currently under construction. In 2002 he became director of AMO, the think tank of OMA, and produced "The Image of Europe," an exhibition illustrating the history of the European Union. He led several OMA projects in the Middle East, and in 2009 led the competition-winning design for Rotterdam's Stadskantoor. De Graaf is also working on the Commonwealth Institute redevelopment in London. He is responsible for AMO's increasing involvement in sustainability and energy planning, which has included the publication in 2010 of "Roadmap 2050: A Practical Guide to a Prosperous, Low-Carbon Europe" with the European Climate Foundation and "The Energy Report," a global plan for 100 percent renewable energy by 2050, made with the WWF.
Shohei Shigematsu joined OMA in 1998 and became a partner in 2008. He has led the OMA office in New York since 2006 and is responsible for OMA's operations in North America. Under his direction, the New York office has overseen the completion of Milstein Hall at Cornell University as well as the construction of the National Beaux Arts museum in Quebec. Sho has also led numerous direct collaborations with artists, including a pavilion in Cannes housing a seven screen system designed in collaboration with Kanye West, the Marina Abramovic Institute for the Preservation of Performance Art in upstate New York, and a studio renovation for artist Cai Guo Qiang in New York. Shigematsu is currently teaching at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and is a Design Critic for Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Cornell University, College of Architecture, Art and Planning and for Kyoto University of Art and Design.

in Garden design
Is it better to get a professional design for a garden, or just to follow your nose and see what happens as you're working?
Of course it's not always necessary to have everything really well thought through - some projects do just evolve. But personally, I always say that creativity is relatively cheap compared to the idea that 'throwing money at a project is the best way forward'. In my opinion, a well designed garden need not rely on expensive paving, etc. you can make a better garden using well thought through planting ideas which are relatively inexpensive.
I think that taking the time (and even swallowing the expense) of getting a proper design done before starting work will give time for new ideas to breathe, and can help to solve the problems of the site and maximise the potential of the available space. Also, no more plants that keel over and die because they have been planted in the wrong place!
I'd like to know what everyone else's experience has been, though - was your designed garden worthwhile or not? Did you skip the designing phase of your garden and get great results, or regret it? Look forward to your responses!
If I could afford it, yes good idea, I would love someone to come in, design, dig, plant so all I need to do is add and tidy. Got anyone in mind for the job. Probably could get it dome for about 30 grand.
I went for a bit of a mix - i created the design, and paid someone to come in a do all the hard work of removing turf, putting in extra drainage, putting down paving and building raised beds.
I alreay had a lot of plants that i had collected over time or had been given to me by friends/family!
This worked for me as i only had a limited budget - at the end the landscaper said my design had worked out well and he would be using some of my ideas in another garden!!
Good luck and enjoy what ever route you decide to take!
Well done Rhonsal ...hope you are charging him commision
Hello David Andersen asking a question about garden design?-is this a genuine question or a tout for business?
I see from your profile you are designer
Just thought you might like to make that clear?
My opinion is its all a learning process, i like the idea of designing my own garden seeing what works for me and what does not plus the actual design will not cost me anything in the sense i have had to ask someone to design for me
Each to their own I suppose. I like to do it all myself then I am proud of my successes, and my failures I just see as opportunities to start again. I think that one of the keys is that if you are not happy then move things or even, [ although sometimes I find this hard ] throw things out. One of the great joys of growing your own is that you allways have stuff to put into the places where things have not quite worked out. Good gardens evolve over time and the pleasure you get on those days when everthing looks wonderful is all the greater knowing that you did it. i do supplement my own ideas with stuff from books, TV and garden visits but allways with a twist.
I wouldn't let someone else loose on my patch
I think it depends on what your trying to acheive. Not everyone can create what they visually see in their own minds, so need to pay someone else to create it.
And also, the difficulty level is an important factor. Some of your designs on the site for example, could not be acheived without an experts input. Beautiful as there are.
It's personal choice. If you've got the money, why not pay a professional. I know I would .
Some nice designs to be fair, from David.
I think there are two types of people when it comes to gardens, Decorators and Gardeners.
Decorators are looking for a quick fix, they want the garden to look nice so they can entertain and enjoy their garden but not really spend too much time working on it. The real Gardeners take a pride in making their garden and are willing to work on it to develop something quite individual to them. I doubt there are many Decorators on this site
I'm sure there are times when you need a professionals help we can't all dig ponds and lay patios but for me how my garden looks will be from what I want (and can afford) and not how a designer decided it should be. Inspiration can come from anywhere but your garden should be yours.
Lyn wrote (see)
I thought he might have come back and offered me a quote.
Thank you sotongeoff for pointing that 'touting for business' post. If I had the money I would definitely have my garden redesigned but certainly not in the way those pictures show with all that hard structured landscaping. Looks like electricians and builders did more than a gardener.
I think that you have some" NECK" most if not all the people on this Forum are amateurs have full
time day jobsor are retired
A compromise I thnk ..using a landscape gardener for the heavy stuff, own design and work at it over the seasons.
Over ten years my garden has eveolved as it has grown with me and family needs...from more veg and lawn with small pond to more pond/water feature, terracing for sitting out, extended lawn and now as much vertical planting as the three fences will hold, includung raspberries which 'creep' about!
Love it...researching plants, digging in the wet, visiting open gardens, lifting flagstones ...GW....talking to you all... sigh... what is this life if ...oops..got carried away there
abreak in the clouds...time for fresh air.
geoff (if I may) also checked David's profile - requesting market research and interesting to have the responses.
clogger...understand you concern...Please dont turn this thread into a rant.......we all learn from the responses...
I wanted a garden with plants and that eveolved to suit my available time, budget and changing family needs so no designer fo me.
I do love the look of some designed gardens but they mostly have too much hard landscaping and too few plants and are more oudoor rooms than places for plants and wildlife to thrive. I love seeing the show gardens at Chelsea but I'm interested in the plants used rather than the hard stuff so am often disappointed by the big ones - except Chris Beardshaw who always has mostly plants, Cleve West who does sublime plants and Diarmuid Gavin does wonderful planting schemes too if you can see past the whacky, distraction of his design.
My garden has evolved over the years and although I can see things I now wish were different I am glad it is the result of my wife's and myideas and efforts, A designed garden can look a little sterile and too perfect for me. I did get some help remaking my vegetable garden but it was to my plan. The contractor supplied the hard work and did an excellent job, and I would use him again or recommend him. I think gardening is a blend of creativity and physical work. Both of these satisfy a need, but are essentially different. Where else would many of us give vent to our creative needs. I can't paint or write a book, but I can think through a garden idea and achieve a satisfactory end result, which pleases me and others. The hard work keeps me fitter and healthier than I might otherwise be. Who and what would I be without gardening???
I think its interesting that you say that a well designed garden need not rely on expensive paving yet in your garden design images on your website they seem to be mostly expensive paving and less about the plants.
I also think that trying to get a bit of free advertising isnt always a bad thing but just be upfront and honest about what your doing.

Oysterville Select Oysters
Oysterville Select Oyster Flavor Profile Characteristics
Oysterville Select Oysters are a Pacific Northwest oyster from one of the Willapa Bay oyster appellations in Washington State. In the Willapa Bay region there is a lack of industry and only a small population in the area. These factors keep Willapa Bay one of the cleanest, most pristine estuarys in the continental United States.
Oysterville Select Oysters are an Intertidal Beach Cultured Oyster. Beach cultured oysters are raised on tidal beaches with sandy or rocky bottoms. They are accustomed to fighting the tides, clamping tightly shut during low tides to preserve their "liquor" and to protect themselves against predators. Because of this "tough" life, beach raised oysters are hearty. They have hard, sturdy shells which shuckers like to work with. And their ability to close tightly, coupled with their hard shells, gives them a longer shelf life.

Back with the Blues: All Blacks star Ma'a Nonu. Photo: Colleen Petch
Wellington: All Blacks midfielder Ma'a Nonu has signed a two-year contract with New Zealand Rugby and the Blues.
Nonu, 31, had been linked with a lucrative French club offer, but has agreed to terms with Blues coach John Kirwan to remain in Super Rugby, NZR confirmed on Tuesday.
The Test veteran ended an unhappy 12-month stint with the Highlanders this year - completing his third season at a different franchise.
Kirwan was upset when former Hurricanes back Nonu reneged on a handshake deal to stay with the Blues after one season in 2012.
However, the pair have reportedly made amends, and Nonu's future in New Zealand is confirmed before the All Blacks leave next week for their end-of-season tour of Japan and Europe.
Nonu has played 133 Super Rugby games and 85 Tests for the All Blacks in a decade-long professional rugby career.
Kirwan welcomed Nonu's return to the Auckland-based franchise.
"Ma'a has been in brilliant form for the All Blacks and we're thrilled to welcome him back to the Blues," he said.
"He's one of the best midfielders in the world, so to have someone with his abilities is a huge asset to the squad."
Chief executive Steve Tew said the NZR was happy to resolve Nonu's future.
"We're delighted that Ma'a is staying in New Zealand for the next two seasons. He remains a world-class player who is important to New Zealand Rugby, including the All Blacks."
Nonu said while he had options to play elsewhere, his preference was always to stay in New Zealand.
"I'm excited to be staying in New Zealand and returning to play my rugby with the Blues," he said.
"I'd like to thank the Blues and New Zealand Rugby for giving me the chance to re-sign for a further two years."

Dozens of residential roads will be closed on and off for street renovations weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. until October.
To find out if your street will be affected – and to see what times Fountain Valley estimates crews will be working – click the PDF below the image.
Work crews for Hardy and Harper will be adding a 1.5-inch layer of asphalt to many local roadways worn down through weather and traffic.
Crews will also remove and replant some parkway trees and replace damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutters.
Alex Salazar, city project manager for the Residential Roadway Rehabilitation Project, says the renovations are part of the city's normal scope of work.
"After years of wear and tear, those streets need to be rehabilitated," Alex Salazar said.
According to the city's Public Works department, crews will work 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays except on legal holidays and days with severe weather.
Crews began work this Monday, and the project is expected to finish in October.
Streets may be closed for up to four hours during construction, but city staff says "access to residences will be maintained."
Residents are advised to check for "no parking" signs nearby, which will be posted 48 hours before the street work begins.
To read the announcement on the city's website, click here. (That web page is subject to change and is current as of today at 9:57 a.m.)
For more information, call the city's Public Works Department at 714-593-4433 or call Project Manager Alex Salazar at 714-593-4516.

Medicines- Coated asprin helps relieve pain and has few side effects. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as Voltaren, Feldene, Naprosyn and Clinoril are prescription drugs for pain and inflammation. Do not take asprin if you are taking NSAIDS. Cortisone Shots- Cortisone shots are given for inflammation and may provide pain relief for variable periods of time. Generally, repeat injections should be limited to three or four per joint, per year. Thermal Therapy- In many cases, the use of either hot or cold therapy, or alternating heat and cold, is a matter of patient preference. Superficial heat such as heating pads, hot water bottles and saunas may relax the muscles to help decrease pain and stiffness. Cold therapy, such as ice packs, may help decrease muscle spasms and the associated pain and may help raise the pain threshold.
Diet- There is no evidence that any specific foods will prevent or relieve arthritis symptoms. It's important to keep thin, however, because excess weight aggravates arthritis by putting added pressure on the knee and hip.
Exercise and Rest- Prolonged rest and days of inactivity will increase stiffness and make it harder to move around. Motion is lotion for arthritis! At the same time, excessive or improper exercise can overwork your arthritic joint and cause further damage. A balanced routine of rest and exercise is best.
What about Surgery? Surgery is usually done only in severe, disabling cases of arthritis for which other treatments have failed.
Arthrodesis- This procedure makes the affected joint permanently immobile by inserting a metal or plastic screw or using a special type of plaster to hold the joint in place. It is usually performed on smaller joints, such as those in the toes or fingers.
Osteotomy- In this surgical procedure, which is not frequently performed, the surgeon removes a small piece of bone near the affected joint. This may be a good solution for younger people with arthritis because it may delay joint surgery for years.
Arthroscopy- "Scoping a joint" is being used increasingly to diagnose and sometimes repair joints. A doctor may use a tube to remove damaged areas of cartilage that may be causing irritation. This may provide temporary relief. However, this may not stop the progression of arthritis.
Replacing a Joint- A successful joint replacement may relieve pain and restore most of the joint's movement. Damaged bone is removed from the joint and replaced with parts that are cemented to the healthy bone that remains.

The electric telegraph did not burst suddenly upon the scene but rather resulted from a scientific evolution that had been taking place since the 18th century in the field of electricity. One of the key developments was the invention of the voltaic cell in 1800 by Alessandro Volta of Italy. This made it possible to power electric devices in a more effective manner using relatively low voltages and high currents. Previous methods of producing electricity employed frictional generation of static electricity, which led to high voltages and low currents. Many devices incorporating high-voltage static electricity and various detectors such as pith balls and sparks were proposed for use in telegraphic systems. All were unsuccessful, however, because the severe losses in the transmission wires, particularly in bad weather, limited reliable operation to relatively short distances. Application of the battery to telegraphy was made possible by several further developments in the new science of electromagnetism. In 1820 Hans Christian Ørsted of Denmark discovered that a magnetic needle could be deflected by a wire carrying an electric current. In 1825 in Britain William Sturgeon discovered the multiturn electromagnet, and in ... (200 of 2,907 words)The beginning of electric telegraphy

Shock waves continue to ripple throughout France as Dominique Strauss-Kahn, considered the likely Socialist Party candidate to challenge President Nicolas Sarkozy in French presidential elections next year, remains in a New York City jail on charges of sexual assault. Saturday's arrest of Strauss-Kahn significantly changes the political playing field in France, as some recent polls had showed that the 62-year-old head of the International Monetary Fund was the most popular among those considered to be possible presidential contenders.

Rifts Ultimate Edition
Rifts is a multi-genre role-playing game that captures the imagination unlike any other. Elements of magic, horror, and the supernatural co-exist with science, high technology and the ordinary. The game spans countless dimensions, making anything and everything possible. Players are truly limited only by their imaginations! Rifts Ultimate Edition is a completely rewritten and updated version of the original game played and enjoyed by an estimated 1.5 million gamers. Not exactly a Second Edition, because most of the rules will remain unchanged, Rifts Ultimate Edition is expanded and improved. There will be more world information, tips on how to use the time-line and World Books, rewrites on O.C.C.s, and in some cases, expansions of and more details on O.C.C.s such as the Headhunter, Mercenaries, the Techno-Wizard and Shifter, as well as a few new O.C.C.s. Our goal is to make Rifts more exciting and compelling than ever, while at the same time making the rules better organized, clearer and easier to use. The wonder and infinite possibilities of Rifts—all brought to pulse-pounding life like never before. Of course, there will be a few fun changes and additions, but nothing so dramatic as to make the 40+ available sourcebooks obsolete.

Like most other colleges in the U.S., sexually transmitted disease is still a disturbing issue of concern for administration and those affected here at SCCC. This escalating problem is having a devastating impact financially and medically on NYS and its young adults.
According to Center for Disease Control, there are 19 million new infections each year and nearly 50 percent of them are among 15-24 year olds. Many of these individuals do not know they are infected due minimal or lack of symptoms associated with many STD's.
Despite public service announcements, access to information via internet, and anonymous testing STD rates are still rising. One reason is the embarrassment or stigma that goes along with having to request a test. Some may feel they will be judged or ridiculed leaving them to ignore suspicion or asking questions. Luckily with the help of the internet people are able to peruse health sites or ask questions on forums giving them some anonymous assistance or insight. However, inaccurate or erroneousness material is also posted online and shouldn't replace medical attention.
More importantly there still is the problem of not receiving proper treatment for an infection which is dangerous and can lead to infertility or sterility. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea constitute for the two most commonly reported infectious diseases each year, especially among women. Two attributes of that are women seek medical help more often than do men and these are two of three diseases that are required by law to be reported to the CDC from physician/medical professionals (Syphilis is the third). Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and genital herpes do not need to be reported.
Here at SCCC, the health office assists students seeking help with sexually transmitted diseases and other various issues. Registered Nurse Agnes Hahn in Ammerman campus' health office states that though they don't test on premises for STDs, they will refer students to outside resources in the community.
The office is staffed with RN's and one physician, and offer a plentitude of reading materials on this and other subject matters. "I would say 18-25 years old is the age range of most students seeking testing" claimed Hahn. When asked if these individuals were predominantly male or female, she replied "pretty equal mix".
The goal is for those sexually active, on campus and off, to be safe but unfortunately the risks of unprotected sex are not deterrence for all. Therefore programs and resources need to be available such as Suffolk County's Legislature 2010 budget review which specifies the 'transfer of one Public Health Nurse I from the Public Health Nursing Bureau to Public Health Partner Notification to manage the increasing STD problem in Suffolk County'.
According to CDC data and statistics, in Suffolk County alone there were a combined total of 69,502 reported cases of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or Syphilis (per 100k people) in 2008 amongst 15-24 year olds. Chlamydia accounted for 59,354 of those cases; this exemplifies how it's the most widespread STD in the United States. Per 100,000 population, NYS Dept. of Health records Suffolk County exceeding both Oswego and Cortland Counties combined in the 20-24 age group for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis in males and females.
Suffolk has increased in all three STDs from 2006-2008. One possible explanation for Suffolk's large numbers in this demographic could be that its home to more than 16 public and private colleges. Home testing kits now sold in stores could also have an effect on stats as well, by not having to disclose results to officials. To gain control of this growing problem NYS' total federal STD funding was $11,216,285 but rising testing and treatment costs and prevention tactics are attacking the allowance.
This has led to innovative methods of awareness, as reported by the New York Post. Some New York City public high schools started a $1 million prevention and education program to reach the 15-19 age group which make up for one out of three Chlamydia cases in NYC. Treating and educating this age group could have profound impacts on the drastically high rising 19-24 age group.
The CDC recognizes April as STD awareness month and to promote this they have formed a website with numerous resources from putting a widget on your web page for locating a list of HIV test centers to viewing fact sheets on STDs. Since targeting the young adult demographic is key to decreasing the spread, MTV, the Kaiser Family foundation along with Planned-Parenthood and others have joined together to spread the word with the Get Yourself Tested campaign-GYT.

The top priority at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is keeping workers safe. The leading cause of worker fatalities year after year are motor vehicle crashes. Distracted driving dramatically increases the risk of such crashes. The Department of Labor and OSHA have partnered with the Department of Transportation to combat distracted driving through the website distraction.gov. Distraction.gov is the official U.S. government website dedicated to stop distracted driving. The Occupational Safety and Health Act states that employers must provide a workplace free of serious recognized hazards. It is well recognized that texting while driving dramatically increases the risk of a motor vehicle injury or fatality.
What's Your Workplace Policy on Texting While Driving?OSHA recommends that employers should prohibit any workplace policy or practice that requires or encourages workers to text while driving. Texting while driving greatly increases the risk of being injured or killed in a motor vehicle crash.
Employers who require their employees to text while driving or who organize work so that doing so is a practical necessity even if not a formal requirement violate the Act. When OSHA receives a credible complaint that an employer requires texting while driving or who organizes work so that texting is a practical necessity, OSHA will investigate and where necessary issue citations and penalties to end this practice.
Does Your Employee Handbook Have a Cell Phone Use Policy? If your personnel manual or employee handbook doesn't currently have a cell phone use or texting while driving policy, you may want to make sure you add this information. Several examples of these policies are shown below to help give you a good start on creating your own.
Here is an example of a cell phone use policy…Employees driving on Company business who have access to a cell phone while in their cars should remember that their primary responsibility is driving safely and obeying the rules of the road. Employees are prohibited from using cell phones to conduct business while driving and should safely pull off the road and come to a complete stop before dialing or talking on the phone.
Here are several other examples of cell phone use policies as well as texting while driving policies…
Hand-Held Cell Phones Banned in 10 StatesMany states have already banned cell phone use and texting while driving. What may surprise you is that more states have banned texting while driving than prohibiting the use of a cell phone while driving. Talking on a hand-held cell phone while driving is banned in 10 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Utah and Washington as well as the District of Columbia.
The use of all cell phones by novice or young drivers is restricted in 30 states and the District of Columbia. The use of all cell phones while driving a school bus is prohibited in 19 states and the District of Columbia.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has put together a table and maps showing the states that have cell phone laws, whether they specifically ban text messaging and whether they are enforced as primary or secondary laws. A primary law means that an officer can ticket the driver for the offense without any other traffic offense taking place. Under secondary laws, an officer must have some other reason to stop a vehicle before citing a driver for using a cell phone.
Texting While Driving Banned in 34 StatesText messaging is banned for all drivers in 34 states and the District of Columbia. In addition, novice or young drivers are banned from texting in 7 states: Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia and school bus drivers are banned from text messaging in 3 states: Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. Many localities have enacted their own bans on cell phones or text messaging. In some but not all states, local jurisdictions need specific statutory authority to do so.

New dietary guide-lines will slash the recommended daily amount of sodium to 1,500 milligrams or less, a reduction of over 800 milligrams. Behind this change is medical research that continues to show there is far too much sodium in the average diet.
Most of the sodium in foods comes from processed foods and restaurant items, not from the individual's use of the salt shaker at mealtime.
You can get a head start on reducing your sodium intake if you carefully evaluate what you buy. Researchers have found that most of the sodium in foods came from five categories of foods.
2. Breads add about 354 milligrams daily. Two slices of Wonder Bread, for example, have 300 milligrams of sodium.
3. Meat, poultry and fish mixtures add 286 milligrams per day. It's not the meat; it's what we put on the meat, including injections or marinates.
4. Ham, bacon, sausages and lunch meats contribute 423 milligrams per day. Eat less of these foods.
5. Cakes, cookies and crackers contribute 229 milligrams per day. It's no surprise that crackers add sodium to the diet, but some may be surprised that cookies and cakes are also a part of the picture.
While reducing your sodium isn't easy, with smart choices, you can really improve your overall diet quality and your health.

Slow Motion Windows Effects ? Sounds like the Matrix Movie's Slow Motion Bullets Scene ? Well, have you ever tried tweaking windows registries to do something crazy or innovative ? Windows Registry Editor is the database of the Windows OS which store all kinds of configuration settings and options for the OS. You can make your tweaks over there to create some amazing settings for different kinds of windows functions like, Hiding account username in windows logon screen, Disabling CTRL+ALT+DEL, Force log off when log on hours expires etc etc.
Similarly by tweaking some registries we will animate windows with slow motion effect by the use of shift key i.e. while maximizing or minimizing any active window or while opening/closing any application just press and hold down shift key to watch the open window/application gets minimized or maximized in a really slow motion style which is actually awesome to watch. No Software, No Tools, just a simple tweak! Excited ain't you ?
Below is a preview of how it looks in slow motion (click to enlarge the image) and check out the tut to enable the slow motion windows effects after the jump!
- Press and Hold Shift Key while Minimizing/Maximizing Active Windows
How to Enable Slow Motion Windows Effects in Registry Editor ?
1. Click on start icon and open run command or simply press Win+R to open the same and write down "regedit.exe" to open the Windows Registry Editor. Allow the permission by user account controls and click OK.
2. After the registry editor opened, click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER and then navigate to Software and then to Microsoft – Windows – DWM. So finally the location of the registry would be Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows\DWM and you can find some REG_DWORD files.
REG_DWORD, or just simple DWORD is the most common value type found in the Registry. The DWORD value entry can consist of 32 bit numbers expressed in decimal or hexadecimal notation.
3. Right click on DWM Folder and Select New DWORD (32-bit) value. Rename the DWORD from New Value #1 to AnimationsShiftKey. Simply copy the name from here, paste it and remember to write the exact file name as mentioned or else it won't work. You'll be pressing the shift key and the windows will be minimizing/maximizing like before without any effects!
4. Open the created DWORD by double clicking upon it. You will find the default value data would be assigned to zero which means the DWORD has not been enabled yet. Change the value from 0 to 1. And click on OK. Keep the Base as it is, i.e. Hexadecimal. The DWORD has been enabled, now close the registry editor.
5. In order to make it work we need to add some more commands as well. So open up the run command by pressing Win+R and type down "net stop uxsms" (without quotes) and press enter. You will see a command prompt windows appears and disappears instantly. Similarly again open the run command and type down "net start uxsms" (without quotes) and press enter. Be sure that you write the stop command first and then the start command.
6. It's done, the Shift key Animation has been enabled. Now while minimizing or maximizing any window, simply press and hold shift key to see the window getting minimized/maximized in slow motion. Same applies to the applications, when opened or closed keep the shift key pressed to watch the slow motion windows effects.
P.s. Remember while maximizing a window, don't keep the shift key pressed or else it will open a new window of the same. First click on the minimized window and then instantly press the shift key to view it in slow motion.
- This tweak also works while switching between 2-3 windows. When you have a lot of windows opened, we generally switch between them with a shortcut i.e. Alt+Tab. If you were unaware of this, then allow me to let you know that by pressing Alt+Tab, you can easily switch over between all the windows opened, may it be applications, browser etc etc. Now while switching, press and hold shift key to switch over in slow motion with a fade style. [Click to Enlarge Images]
- There is also another shortcut key to switch between the active windows in a 3D style. By pressing Win+Tab you can switch between the windows 3D style. So to view 3D Slow Motion Windows Effects, Press Shift key while pressing Win+Tab and you will slowly view the windows which will appear in ease-in ease-out transition.
How to Disable Slow Motion Windows Effects ?
Whenever you're done enjoying the slow motion effects then if you want then you may disable it. For doing so, open the registry editor by running the regedit.exe command. Navigate to the DWM Folder, address is mentioned in the above steps. Double click and open the created DWORD i.e. AnimationsShiftKey and change the value either to 0 or 2. This will disable the registry though it will be still available at there so that you can enable it later.
To remove it completely, simply right click on it and select delete or directly press the delete key. It will show a system warning telling about system instability due to the deletion of the current value, don't worry about it. Just chuck it!

The above mentioned registry tweak doesn't persuade any kind off threat to the system, rather it a simple registry edit to show your friends and all. You can enable/disable it anytime but don't play much with the registries. Though nothing will happen but it's always good to be at the safer side. As any change to other registry values may hamper your system. But there's nothing harm in this one, so just chill and give it a try! If it's not working, let us know below in the comments. Cheers.

U.S. must recommit to its biomedical sector
By James Wolfe
Investments in bioscience are increasingly vital to a strong American economy. As Gov. Jack Markell has said, "It is critical to our national and economic interest that we own medical innovation in the future as thoroughly as we owned mechanical innovation in the past."
The governor knows what he is talking about and has done a great job of championing that philosophy in our state. Already,Delaware's biopharmaceutical sector generates $4.5 billion in annual economic activity, directly and indirectly supporting 27,000 jobs.
A recent study from Battelle found that the biomedical industry supported over 4 million American jobs in 2009. The total economic output from these positions amounted to more than $900 billion.
The United States surged to the forefront of biotech research and development starting in the 1990s. Federal policies, including a transparent regulatory-review process, robust intellectual-property protections for new drugs, and well-funded research institutions working collaboratively with the private sector, all helped put the United States on top.
The results are easy to see. In 2009, the United States accounted for 51 percent of the world's biotech patents. American biopharmaceutical companies invested more than $67 billion in research and development for new life-saving treatments in 2010.
Our position as global leader is hardly guaranteed going forward, however. Unfortunately, there are warning signs that the United States is losing ground in biotech innovation.
According to a recent study from the Milken Institute, other nations are taking aggressive steps to encourage the growth of their own biopharmaceutical sectors. China and India are rapidly becoming centers of pharmaceutical research and development. The number of clinical trials in these two countries increased threefold at the beginning of the decade. A McKinsey study predicts that by 2013,Indiawill have nearly 3,000 clinical trials under way.
The United States cannot idly allow our competitive edge to slip away. Congress must take steps starting now to foster this crucial field and maintain our global advantage.
Federal lawmakers can start by upping the tax credit for research and development. This will incentivize investment in innovation — much of which will happen here in Delaware. To ensure certainty for these investment decisions, the tax credit must be made permanent.
To his credit, our own Sen. Chris Coons has been at the forefront of the effort to make the tax credit permanent and to retool it to make it effective for start-ups, not just companies that are already making a profit. A tradable R&D credit could help start-ups, such as Delaware's Elcriton and Evozym Biologics, gain the investments they need to grow and create jobs.
Sen. Tom Carper has been a long-time supporter of the biotech community. He was recently honored as a "Champion of Jobs Creation through Innovation" by the We Work for HealthDelawarecoalition and reaffirmed his commitment to the sector. "Delaware has become a leader in the biotechnology industry and I will continue working with my Congressional colleagues and the Administration to ensure the continued success of this innovative industry in Delaware," said Sen. Carper.
Another important step in maintaining competitiveness is reauthorizing the Prescription Drug User Fee Act. Since the act's original passage in 1992, it has improved patient access to over 1,500 new medicines. Review times fell approximately 60 percent. By providing a consistent funding source, PDUFA reauthorization will encourage investor confidence and expedite the drug-review process. It will ensure strong and globally competitive U.S. Food and Drug Administration policies going forward.
Hopefully, the colleagues of our senators in Washington will come together to pass these important safeguards to our biotech industry.
