About the Artist
Shana Rowe
Born and raised in Maine, I am a self taught artist and have been doing art since I was a young child. I work mostly in acrylics, watercolors and oils, but do some pencil, colored pencil and pastel work too. I like to paint a little bit of everything, using bright and happy colors and find my niche to be painterly; realism with a twist of whimsy and nostalgia. When it comes to photography it is similar to my painting style in that I do a little bit of everything. The best part for me is editing the photos, where I get to use my artistic skill to make something beautiful even more beautiful. I also paint glass, make jewelry and other crafts. Thank you for visiting and I hope that you will find something in one of my galleries that...

1953 Nash Ambassador Serial Number Location
I hope someone can help with the following:
I am not able to match the serial number on the title for this car to any plate attached to the car body. I did find a totally different number on the firewall (see attached pictures). In the pictures, since the title of the plate says "Nash Serial", it would seem to me that this would be the actual serial number. Only problem though, this is not the number that is on the title. The Nash registration and title have carried this "other" number for many years.
I have tried to locate the engine serial number in hopes that this number will match the title. I have done a little cleaning on the engine block, but have yet to find a serial number here. I need to clean more of the grease and crud off the block to be sure.
I would also like to find the "hidden" serial number that must be stamped along the body somewhere. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Michael -
1953 serial numbers, according to the Standard Catalog of Independents, for the Nash Ambassador 6 started at R-692101, so the number on the plate is correct for 1953 and the plate is in the right place. There is no other location info given in the Standard Catalog and since my specialty, so to speak, is Hudsons (tho I drove Ramblers for years) I can't help you on other possible locations.
What number is on the title??? This could be a case of dual serial numbers with the one on the title being issued by what-ever state it was issued in because of a lost title somewhere along the line. I know a couple of cases of that being the case with Hudson's being rescued from a salvage yard in a title state and no title available. Washington state comes to mind, but I could be wrong on that assumption.
Engine numbers are located on the right side of the crankcase toward the front or front upper left side of the block in 1953.
Hope this is a help to you.

Thanks, Alex.
You certainly confirmed what I suspected. I looked at the engine block again and found the following number on the left side, in the middle, mid way down the block (under the carburetor: 313 6322. Don't really know if this is the engine number, or not. I was unable to scrape the crude from the lower, right front side of the block due to the exhaust pipe, oil filter, etc. being in the way. I will have to do that when I have more time. I also found the block casting number, so the above number (313 6322) is not the block casting number.
I have attached a picture of the Bill Of Sale. I bought the car several years ago from the son of the man who purchased it in 1954 (he had died a couple of years before). As you can see, the number A 216469 is on the Bill Of Sale in the block titled "Engine No.". This is the number that has been carried forward over the years as the serial number.
I am going to find time as soon as I can, and go over the engine block more thoroughly in order to see if the number on the Bill Of Sale matches anything. At any rate, I am concerned about getting the correct serial number on the title. For all the DMV will know, is that I could have stolen the car and used a different title to license it. This is why I really want to find the "hidden" serial number that is stamped somewhere on the car body.
Anyway, thank you for your response.
MichaelNash Serial Number III.JPG2048 x 1536 - 2M -
As I said, according to the Standard Catalog, engine numbers (same as serial number) located on the right side of the crankcase towards the front. To bad you don't have a Hudson - I'm the club "expert" on Hudson serial numbers. LOL
I really an baffled by the A number on the sales invoice. That eliminates the theory that you have a replacement title with a state issued serial number. I looked thru the Catalog on both sides of 1954 Nash and no serial numbers for the Ambassador start with the letter A. Other models start with a K (for Kenosha) or KC (El Segundo, CA plant). I guess about all you can do is find the engine serial number and tell your motor vehicle bureau it is what it is. Confuse the hell out of them. LOL
Good luck.

Memphis, TN -
Thanks Alex,
I going to find the time and get the crud cleaned off the engine, so I can see what number that is. I really dread dealing with the California DMV. In recent years I have had to deal with them on a couple of lost titles, plus a couple of other things, and I have come to realize that they have evolved over the years into a bureaucratic mess of a monster. They really seem to go out of their way to make things difficult, if not impossible!
BTW, I do have a Hudson, as well as a Buick. With those cars however, I know exactly where the "hidden" serial numbers are located.

Paradigm is wrong when claiming that SDLP and UU negotiated the Good Friday Agreement (there is no such thing as a Belfast Agreement). The GFA would have been a nonstarter without Ian Paisley, Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness. They were the real peacemakers. And today they continue to show the world how peace can come to difficult situations. Certainly today, McGuinness and Robertson (like Paisley before him) are showing the world how peace can be realized. Something that escaped the dwindling SDLP and UU.

I'd have to admit that I am not a fan of Cardinal Brady. I think he rightly put it up to Ronan Kerr's killers yesterday as to the offence of murder to God. Its just a shame he has not been as candid when it comes to his critique of Priest Abusers; serial and otherwise!!

There is no doubt that Sean Cardinal Brady has to "step up" and lead. This may be a start. For the Irish in America, Ronan Kerr lives on.

So dreadfully sad for all of us. It may have been appropriate to at least acknowledge that the Leaders of the SDLP and Ulster Unionists - the Parties that negotiated the Belfast Agreement - were at the funeral. It would be doubly sad if the reasonable 'middle-ground' of Ulster politics was forgotten - that was where Ronan Kerr stood so courageously and it's the Ronan Kerr's who are breaking the traditional mould of distrust.

Montauk Music Festival
I just got home from Chicago where I was filming my first ever music video! After some deliberation, we decided to shoot something for Nice Guys Finish Last. The storyline revolves around the subject of bullying, which has always been an issue that I've personally felt very strongly about and now, thankfully, it's also getting some big time media attention from people who know how to make a lot of noise - like Lady Gaga and her Born this Way Foundation and the Weinstein Company with their forthcoming documentary "Bully".
Despite a mini-snowstorm and some last minute scrambling to find a location, eventually everything went off without a hitch. A huge thank you to Matt and Lori and the amazing team from I Do Films as well as the long list of volunteers who gave up their weekend to help out. Stay tuned for the release of the video later this spring. I can't wait to share it with you. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot.

Customizing SMF > SMF Coding Discussion
I'm rewriting my topics url. I've put a function name into $modSettings['integrate_buffer'] so that I manipulate content there without touching SMF's code.
Everything works fine except that I noticed I'm creating a big overhead.
I'm basically gathering all topic ids in this function and I'm running an sql query to topics table to get some info about that topic, this is my debug info:
--- Quote --- UPDATE smf_log_activity
hits = hits + 1
WHERE date = '2012-08-30'
in ...\Sources\Subs.php line 3144, which took 0.00056386 seconds at 0.07514405 into request.
SELECT t.id_topic, t.id_board, m.subject
FROM smf_topics AS t
INNER JOIN smf_messages AS m ON m.id_msg = t.id_first_msg
WHERE t.id_topic IN (748)
in ...\Sources\Subs-TUS.php line 3274, which took 0.00037479 seconds at 0.33442712 into request.
--- End quote ---
As you can see the line before the last is ending in 0.07 (that's the very last SMF query which is tracking my page views), but even though my topic query is getting 0.0003 seconds it is jumping to 0.3s. I'm guessing that at my function maybe SMF has closed connection to db and my query is forcing it to reopen connection and that is causing extra delay?
I tried removing my query and everything went back to normal. What's with the overhead? Am I looking into the wrong place?
Just tried, but I can't see any overhead in doing a query close to integrate_buffer...
So if you remove that query the page is created in ~0.07 seconds?
I think I was confused before. I took the last line of sql queries in show queries as page creation time. I enabled SMF Page created time and it is the same. Doesn't have anything to do with query. (extra query was telling me the very last page creation time)
I've also noticed my function is getting called twice. Why is that? Test it in on another forum too.
--- Quote from: asmith on August 30, 2012, 12:12:56 AM ---I've also noticed my function is getting called twice. Why is that? Test it in on another forum too.

Tricky to say.
Are you sure it's present only once in $modSettings['integrate_buffer']?

Even a small amount of smoke can be hazardous to your health, according to a new study.
Smoking a few cigarettes a day, inhaling someone else's smoke or breathing polluted air can increase the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, according to a report in Circulation: The Journal of the American Heart Journal.
Highlights from the study include:
* People smoking three or fewer cigarettes a day had about a 65 percent higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those smoking none.
* Those exposed to air pollution and secondhand smoke had a 20 to 30 percent higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to those without exposure.
* Even low levels of smoke increase the risk of heart or stroke death.
"The evidence in this integrated analysis suggests that there are no apparent safe levels of exposure to cigarette smoke or ambient air pollution," said C. Arden Pope III, Ph.D., Mary Lou Fulton Professor at Brigham Young University. "This may be due to the fact that even with relatively low levels of smoke there are adverse biologic responses, such as inflammation, increased platelet activation and altered cardiac function."
Secondhand smoke
Researchers used data from the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study II and integrated it with studies of secondhand smoke and pollution. The large amount of data allowed researchers to pinpoint excess risk of cardiovascular death associated with relatively small increments of cigarette smoking, while controlling other risk factors, such as education, marital status, body mass, alcohol consumption and diet.
Pope said reasonable efforts should be made to avoid secondhand smoke and public policy must improve air quality to have a positive impact on public health.
"A critical finding of our study is that smoking is unhealthy even at small amounts," Pope said. "Our analysis illustrates that it doesn't require extreme exposure to have significant cardiovascular effects. Reducing the amount one smokes does some good, but the biggest benefits come from stopping completely."
If you need help quitting
Western Baptist offers assistance to those who want to quit smoking. Free classes are available; phone (270) 442-1310 for the current schedule. Also, "Quit Now" offers free one-on-one consultations with a physician on Nov. 19, the Great American Smokeout; phone (270) 575-2895 for an appointment.

Measles Continues to Stalk the Democratic Republic of CongoFebruary 27, 2013DRC 2013 © Tristan Pfund/MSF This past December, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) issued an alert about a measles epidemic in northern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)'s Equateur and Orientale provinces, trying to draw attention to the situation and the lack of resources available to health personnel responding to the emergency. Two months later, however, the measles epidemic is still afflicting tens of thousands of children in the area. The disease is extremely contagious and can spread quickly in countries like DRC that have large gaps in their health care systems. The effects can de devastating. Measles leads to serious medical complications in patients. Mortality can reach up to 15 percent, or even as high as 25 percent in extreme instances. Since March 2012, MSF has treated more than 18,500 patients and vaccinated more than 440,000 children, but it is clear that many more need assistance. "We see lots of small, recently dug graves along the roads," says Nathalie Gielen, manager of an MSF team returning from Djolu health zone in Equateur. "We counted 35 dead in one village. A father told us that he had lost seven children in three weeks. Traveling from village to village, we hear just one word: measles. People are frightened and hopeless. They're asking for help." An Ongoing Crisis That Began in 2010
"This situation is only the latest development in an ongoing epidemic that has affected the entire country since 2010 and is particularly deadly among children under five years of age," says Amaury Grégoire, MSF deputy head of mission. "It is unacceptable that anyone still dies of measles in the twenty-first century. A very effective and cheap vaccine is available and protects after a single dose. Yet, in countries like DRC, hundreds of thousands of children have never been vaccinated and continue to die of such an easily preventable disease." This situation makes it particularly difficult to provide access to medical care. Most of the population lives in remote villages and under the poverty threshold, meaning they cannot travel to access treatment. Furthermore, even though an epidemic has been declared, some people are still charged for medical attention in public health centers. Health Centers That Do Exist are Empty or InaccessibleMartine has brought her 10-month-old daughter, Asiata, to the hospital in Dingila. The baby has measles with respiratory complications. They traveled 20 kilometers [about 12 miles] on foot to obtain medical care provided by MSF. In the intensive care unit, Félicien says he walked two days to bring Israël, his three-year-old son, who is in critical condition due to measles-related complications. "Our health post has no medicine," he says. He reports that two children in his village have already died en route to the hospital. In this vast, forested region, people must often walk for several days to obtain medical care. Going to a public health center is often a last resort—after trying traditional medicine—and only if they can afford it. "The parents arrive when the child has already developed medical complications, such as acute respiratory infections or malnutrition," says Dr. Jehu, who heads the MSF team at the Buta hospital. "Some also have malaria. We treat many children with multiple, simultaneous medical complications. Many die in their village because the health facilities cannot provide adequate care." Reaching the Most Distant Health Zones at All CostsMSF continues to alert the health authorities because the epidemic is far from over. The organization is expanding its activities and continues to vaccinate children and treat patients, including those requiring hospital-based intensive care. It is supporting medical facilities, training local staff, alerting the population to the availability of free care, and referring the most seriously-ill patients. "The treatment of children affected by measles-associated medical complications is very difficult, even in a well-equipped intensive care unit. But no child should get to a hospital due to measles, because it should be so easy to prevent," concludes Dr. Mathieu Bichet, MSF deputy program manager.

Imagine the two of us, arm in arm, looking at a sunset, where the horizon is fretted with golden fire and the deep blue night encroaches from the opposite side of the sky. "What beautiful colours", I say, and you agree.
And then, in the space of the following silence, I am struck by a worry. I can point at the sky and say it is blue, and you will concur. But are you really seeing that blue the way I am seeing it? Perhaps you have just learnt to call what you see "blue", but in actual experience you are seeing nothing like the vivid, rich, blue I see. You are an imposter, calling my blue by the same name as yours, but not really seeing it the way I do. Or, even worse, perhaps I am the one seeing a pale imitation blue, while you see a blue that is infinitely richer and more splendid than mine.
Now I admit that this worry lies in the realm of philosophy, not neuroscience. You might even ask me why I am worrying about this when we could be enjoying the glorious sunset. But when you think about it, it is not clear that I could ever have direct access to what it is like to be you, and you could never have direct access to what it is like to be me, or someone else, or something else, such as a bat. My worry seems more plausible when you consider colour blindness, which affects around 8% of men and half of one percent of women. Many people do not even realise they are colour blind. They live among the colour-seeing, getting by on the fact that there is usually some other difference between things of different colours that they can use to tell them apart, such as differences in shade or texture.
How green is my valley?
Our colour vision starts with the sensors in the back of the eye that turn light information into electrical signals in the brain – neuroscientists call them photoreceptors. We have a number of different kinds of these, and most people have three different photoreceptors for coloured light. These are sensitive to blues, greens and reds respectively, and the information is combined to allow us to perceive the full range of colours. Most colour blind men have a weakness in the photoreceptors for green, so they lose a corresponding sensitivity to the shades of green that this variety helps to distinguish.
At the other end of the scale, some people have a particularly heightened sensitivity to colour. Scientists call these people tetrachromats, meaning "four colours", after the four – rather than three – colour photoreceptors they possess. Birds and reptiles are tetrachromatic, and this is what allows them to see into the infrared and ultraviolet spectra. Human tetrachromats cannot see beyond the normal visible light spectrum, but instead have an extra photoreceptor that is most sensitive to colour in the scale between red and green, making them more sensitive to all colours within the normal human range. To these individuals, it is the rest of us who are colour blind, as while most of us would be unable to easily distinguish an exact shade of summer-grass-green from Spanish-lime-green, to a tetrachromat it would seem obvious.
So yes, as we share this sunset, perhaps I am seeing something you cannot see, or you are seeing something I cannot see. If our colour vision is wired differently, the information going in could be more or less the same between us. But as you tell me this, with the sun sinking slowly below the horizon, you can sense that it has not really helped with my true worry. I am worried – and perhaps you are too – that although we both have the same machinery in our eyes and we are both able to see the green of the trees, the red of the sun and the blue of the sky, that when I say "blue", it creates an inner experience that differs from yours when you say "blue".

It was Feb. 17, 2010, and the euro had been sliding against the dollar for two months. A week earlier, the euro had dropped through critical support as the Fed raised the discount rate it charges for emergency loans from 0.5% to 0.75%. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke was about to address Congress, and many in the media were speculating that U.S. rates were about to begin creeping up across the board.
Bernanke, however, assured lawmakers that the rate adjustment wasn't the beginning of an upward march in rates. The U.S. economy, he concluded, wasn't ready to be weaned off low rates just yet.
It was hardly a surprising statement, but it should have sparked an immediate correction in the overbought U.S. currency – if, that is, anticipation of higher U.S. rates had really triggered the last leg of the dollar surge. Instead, the dollar continued to move higher as the world focused attention on the possibility of a default by Greece.
At press time, the euro had stabilized on speculation that the European Union would bail out the Greeks, despite the fact that the Maastricht Treaty explicitly forbids such a bailout (just as it forbids budget deficits from exceeding 3% of GDP). Euro bears, however, point to signs of more troubles for other "peripheral" Eurozone economies like Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain, which, together with Greece, have been dubbed the "PIIGs." When not worrying about the PIIGs, euro bears point to slowed exports out of Germany and worsening economic data across the Eurozone.
"If you're trading the euro/dollar cross, it will be quite some way down the road before interest rates as a more pertinent/important indicator come into view," says Chris Furness, director of strategy at London-based 4CAST Limited. "For now, the focus is on determining the shape and size of the iceberg, of which Greece is only the tip."
Indeed, Portugal's Socialist government is experiencing pushback from its own party members for austerity measures implemented in the face of staggering debt. Party leaders themselves have called for a general strike by the country's 500,000 public sector workers, and that's put wind in the sails of euro bears. It was, after all, unrest among Greece's government employees (who account for a quarter of the workforce) that presaged deeper fiscal problems there.
MF Global FX and fixed income analyst Jessica Hoversen says that the risk associated with the Eurozone has been consistently underestimated for years, and points out that Greek bonds traded at only a minor premium to German bonds once the euro was introduced, even though the country's fiscal house was in disorder (see "Hidden risk").
"Greece basically has its hands tied behind its back," says Hoversen. "They can't devalue their currency to make themselves more competitive, which means they've really got to struggle to make themselves structurally competitive. For this to happen, the public sector will have to undergo dramatic retrenchment."
A bailout of Greece could, therefore, not only shift attention to the other PIIGs, but also calls into question the validity of the Maastricht Treaty. And, even if austerity measures are implemented without a PIIGs revolt, the specter of deflation will put a damper on interest rates once concerns normalize.
These factors all zeroed each other out on March 4, when a successful Greek bond auction failed to spark even a modest and still overdue short-covering rally in the euro.
The IMF has projected Japan's gross debt for 2010 at 227% of its annual GDP, reflecting continuation of a trend that's kept the country in a deflationary period for years.
"The Japanese have said over and over again that they're committed to battling deflation," says Hoversen. "Whether that means increasing their QE (quantitative easing) program or deploying another round of emergency policy tools I can't say, but their rhetoric indicates they're very much ready to do both." She points out that the recent Economy Watchers Survey of business-cycle sensitive workers showed optimism, but not enthusiasm, and that Finance Minister Naoto Kan has repeatedly harangued the Bank of Japan for failing to take action despite projecting another two years of deflation at least.
The government set a target of 2% real annual GDP growth over the next 10 years, and Kan says that plan is contingent on an inflation rate of 1%. Neither he nor Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has called for an outright inflation target, but pressure to take action is mounting.
With its key interest rate at 0.1%, the BOJ's options are limited. It has, however, twice conducted massive infusions of three-month funds to ratchet up liquidity — once in December, and once in March. The bank accepted bonds as collateral in both of those actions, and also has promised more stimulus to come. The next step might be an outright buy-back of bonds, says Holger Schindler, who manages currency risk for Hanseatisches Logistik in Hamburg.
"The BOJ really prefers to let things ride," he says. "They want to act gently to prevent being given a mandate to set an inflation target. So, you'll see little nudges and maybe intervention when we get above a certain level, but they don't want to do more."
Those interventions may not be far away. The country recently announced it would raise its borrowing limit to raise its war-chest for market interventions, a practice it gave up six years ago. The BOJ will be reviewing its long-term strategy on Apr. 30, and rhetoric surrounding that meeting will begin jostling the yen more and more as the date approaches.
China may be the world's largest exporter, but Germany is number two, and China is one of Germany's largest non-EU export destinations. Furthermore, Germany's exports to China are high-end goods and services such as factory machines and engineering expertise.
Unlike its neighbor, France, Germany hasn't managed to create the kind of domestic demand that will sustain it in bad times. Indeed, Chancellor Angela Merkel has openly expressed an unwillingness to try and do so.
That leaves the euro at risk of further depreciation if China slows — a risk that also extends to the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars. These commodity currencies have remained strong at the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 despite the surge in the dollar. But if Chinese demand for commodities slows, these currencies will take a hit.
The United Kingdom is gearing up for a general election to be held on or before June 3, and you can bet markets will be watching carefully as the pound continues to struggle back from a two-year slide that bottomed out in early 2009.
"As the polls get a little bit closer, anything under a 10% lead for the Conservative party is moving into hung parliament territory, and the latest polls are showing just a 5% lead, which is well within that range," Furness says. "At the same time, there is an awful lot of M&A activity in the background, and whilst equity markets remain volatile, plenty of hedge adjustment currency trade by UK fund managers, which could mean UK buying."
Furthermore, he says, central banks tend to buy sterling as it falls to keep their reserves diverse, a fact often lost on the market at large.
So at least some of that bodes well for the pound, but the downside isn't difficult to see: the country has the highest budget deficit of the G7 nations, and when former IMF Chief Economist Kenneth Rogoff warned that a default in Greece could set off a chain of sovereign defaults across the developed world, many eyes turned to the UK. Indeed, as Greek woes intensify, the pound has been suffering.
Furness sees a rocky mid-term for the pound, and advises anyone looking to capitalize on the weakening euro to stick to the long dollar, although his favorite cross has been the euro/Swedish
krona cross.
"The krona is part of the dollar index, so it's used in arbitrage trade," he explains. "We're forecasting higher interest rates for Sweden, and the Swedish central bank has been great at keeping the market fully in touch with where they think the interest rate picture is going."
The euro has been sliding against the krona since early last year when it peaked at 11.71. At the beginning of this year, Furness's company recommended adding to short euro/long krona at 10.30, with an objective of 9.60 by the end of 2010.
Meanwhile, back in Europe, many traders are bracing for another round of warnings about credit ratings.
"The ratings agencies, having missed everything at the beginning, are now becoming somewhat overzealous," says Furness. "They're slamming stable doors before the horse is even in as opposed to missing them on the way out. There has to be some form of measurement, and as such the market needs ratings agencies, but getting the balance between pre-emptive and reactive action right is difficult, and what some see as current overreaction can cause even bigger problems than those they are trying to measure. The whole thing is self-feeding, and this phase is certainly not finished yet."
At some point, the theory goes, the bulk of the bad news truly will have been flushed into the open, and the market will shift to trading based not on the probability of hidden dangers but on the fallout from those already revealed. Only after all the bad news is factored into the market and the excess liquidity that was injected during the banking crisis is sucked back up will attention turn to interest rate differentials and other standard indicators. Most analysts, surprisingly, see normalization by year-end, regardless of how bad things get for the euro before then.
A few voices see, or even advise, disintegration of the Eurozone. Harvard economist Martin Feldstein is among them. "The rest of the Eurozone could allow Greece to take a temporary leave of absence with the right and the obligation to return at a more competitive exchange rate," he wrote in a Feb. 17 Financial Times article.
"Even if the worst happens and the Eurozone shrinks, it will not be complete disintegration," says Schindler. "It's not as if the value of the euro goes to zero if Greece withdraws from the union, and it could even be a good thing to lose some of these shaky economies."
Richard Olsen, co-founder of Oanda, has similar thoughts. "Because the Eurozone is still split into 'sovereign' countries, you have heterogeneity, which actually dampens the repercussions of the whole recession."
He's even a short-term euro bull.
Olsen argues that the short-term fundamentals of the dollar are weaker than those of the euro, and that the majority of traders were on the correct side of the market (namely, short the dollar) when the Greek crisis hit. Because of leverage and overconfidence, however, these fundamentally correct traders were forced to liquidate in the face of an outlier event, triggering more liquidations and more euro-selling when the fundamentals indicate they should be buying.
It's a phenomenon he describes in a blog post, where he says that the greater the market's confidence in a direction, the greater its leverage in that direction, and the greater the reaction against sentiment when an outlier negative event occurs.Olsen notes, "As a result, the euro bulls have been decimated because their own confidence created an exaggerated reaction to the Greek tragedy."
And, he says, because they're decimated, the bulls haven't been able to buy back in until reinforcements show up in the form of new dollar bears, who he believes will be motivated by a litany of problems with the dollar that should override any concerns flowing from Greek debt. "Once you consider private-sector debt, the U.S. is in no better shape than Greece," he says.
Both Furness and Hoversen see the dollar topping out later in the year or early in 2011 as American woes once again take center stage, while Olsen and Schindler believe we're near it now.
"U.S. home prices are still very depressed; you've still got a very high unemployment at 9.7%, and according to the IMF projections for 2010 the U.S. budget deficit as a percentage of GDP is the third-highest in the G7 behind the UK and Japan," says Hoversen (see "Weighing the debt," above). "But until we start seeing those threats manifest in economic data or policy or the credit markets, that's not what the currency markets will focus on."
She believes the euro will continue to respond negatively to non-traditional indicators such as social unrest, and advises traders to keep an eye on data that's not normally on the front page.
"Keep an eye on bond auctions, whether they're failing or succeeding, the real interest rates that these countries are forced to pay, as well as portfolio flows and foreign capital," she says. "Also, be ready for positive surprises. If the financial crisis of 2008 taught us anything, it's that governments are prone to surprise the markets with bailout packages that will serve to mitigate the risks"

On Saturday was 5 Peaks Chickakoo; I raced the sport distance. The race was amazing. Getting back on to the trail was awesome since, I just came off the Edmonton half marathon. The 5 peaks races are always awesome! So well organized, and super fun. The race course is scenic and fun, I use to hike it when I was really little with my parents. The first 2 km start off super flat and fast then it moves in to rolling hills. A few of the hills gave me a serious run for my money; lots of ups! The course finishes off with about 2 km of flat and slight down which, is nice to come in quickly. I did not run as fast as I wanted too but I was happy to get back on the trails and stay in the middle of the pack. Again, the 5 peaks race directors and volunteers out do themselves!
On Sunday was Run for the lung which, is a race in memory of a girl named Jessie whom passed away from Cystic Fibrosis. Her family is family friends of ours and I work with Cystic Fibrosis Canada so it was a really amazing event. It was a 5 km road race; and I was expecting flat and fast…NAWT two huge hills. The race started off from Original Joe's in Terwillegar and headed out some direction I do not know which? I was 6th overall and the 2nd woman until about 4km then I started getting a bit of pain and fatigue on my left side so I slowed down a bit and ended up taking 4th for women. I can't complain about that since I raced the day prior. Overall great event for a great cause!
Now cross-country season is starting so I am working with the head coach to get everything organized for that! It is very exciting that I am a real assistant coach.
My upcoming races are………….dundundun
- Frank's Wednesday night fall series! yay budday! Best 6 Wednesdays ever AND starting on my birthday!
- Edmonton 21 – 10km on September 18th
- 5 Peaks Devon 7.3km on September 24th
- Victoria 1/2 marathon on October 9th
- Camrose open 5km on October 15th

HPV vaccine can help prevent cervical cancer
By Sheryl M. Ness, R.N.
5 comments posted
You've probably heard about a cervical cancer prevention vaccine, also called the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. The vaccine protects against the virus that causes almost all cervical cancers. Cervical cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in women. If you're a parent with daughters or young woman considering the vaccine, here are a few facts about HPV and the vaccine:
- HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus.
- The HPV vaccine protects against 70 percent of the virus types that cause cervical cancer.
- Most women will get HPV at some point during their lives — by age 50 around 80 percent of women have had the virus.
- HPV usually causes little or no symptoms.
- HPV can also cause warts, genital warts, and other cancers — such as the vagina, anus, and cancers of the head and neck.
- The HPV vaccine is recommended for girls at around age 11 or 12, and is also recommended for young women aged 13-26.
- It's important to still see your healthcare provider for regular pelvic exams and pap tests even if you have received the vaccine.
The concept behind this vaccine is to deliver protection from the virus before young women become sexually active. The vaccine is given through an injection in the arm or thigh as a series of three injections over a period of around six months. The best protection against HPV is provided after all three shots are given.
The HPV vaccine is generally covered by health insurance plans. Coverage for those without insurance can also be obtained through the federal Vaccines for Children program. The HPV vaccine is also recommended for boys and young men age 11-26 to prevent genital warts and infection with the virus.
As with all newer vaccines, there are a few unknowns. The FDA and other agencies are closely monitoring reported side effects for any problems. However, to date, only minor (expected) side effects have been reported — most common are pain at the injection site, fever, dizziness and fainting. Also unknown is how long the vaccine protection lasts. This is being studied and reported on an ongoing basis.
For more about vaccines and cancer, check out MayoClinic.com or the NCI website (www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Therapy/cancer-vaccines).

Another reason for vaccine use is to prevent recurrent respiratory pappiloma in infants. Contacted via birth canal or inuterio from mother with Hpv subtype #6#11#31

I would like to address the comments on the safety of this vaccine. Safety is indeed carefully monitored and reported(very closely). For those interested in reading reports about the safety and monitoring, including any side effects of the vaccine, the CDC website has all data to date listed at this site http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/vaccines/HPV

Why not call it what it is? Gardasil. The one with inadequate testing and horrific side effects. (I have spoken with a patient who was repeatedly hospitalized.) It is alarming to read an article from Mayo Clinic that states it causes little or no symptoms. To say only minor (expected) side effects have been reported is false. It is common knowledge that the side effects cause paralysis or worse.
- Marcy
August 26, 2012 6:47 a.m.
Gardasil - Ask about all these unanswered questions: Whether it prevents cancer, necessity for boosters, whether it increases risk of cancer, whether there is increased risk of cancer due to the of gene manipulated HPV DNA, whether Gardasil vaccinated may safely donate blood,increased risk of autoimmune disorders due to the recombinant HPV DNA, if HPV is necessarily an infection transmitted by sexual intercourse, whether it causes genotoxicity, whether it targets the relevant virus strains in different demographics, whether the strains change in the course of time, adverse events due to concomitant administration with other vaccines, true numbers of longterm serious adverse events, what results would be if a true placebo had been used in all the clinical trials, what results of clinical trials would be if Merck had not used own exclusion criteria, whether there is increased risk of blood clots when Gardasil is combined with hormonal contraceptive pills, increased risk of brain damage, consequences of "bridging",risk of infertility,stillbirths, babies born with anomalies etc etc etc etc.

kindly clarify that Youtube post on injection HPV effects is false or true on the paralysis(CNS)& eventually DEATH? Is vy scary & frightening even think of getting immunized. TQ

Benedict Cumberbatch: the next great British export? | Adam Farasati
Americans like British men in certain leading roles: namely James Bond and wizards. Breaking out of that mold is tough
Is Benedict Cumberbatch a charming and handsome megastar-to-be? Or a pretentious and overbearing snot? Pardon the sharp contrast, but these are essentially the only categories we Americans have when welcoming new actors from across the pond.
The talented Cumberbatch made his US splash as the fearsome bad guy in Star Trek Into Darkness. He's garnering Oscar buzz for his upcoming portrayal of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in The Fifth Estate, and if you're more of a fanboy geek, you've already watched the new Hobbit trailer 700 times to hear Cumberbatch's voice as the dragon, Smaug. And did I mention that his TV series Sherlock is available on Netflix? Wanting for interesting roles, he is not.
But does all this translate to bonafide stardom in the states? I wouldn't be so sure. Americans like British men in certain leading roles: namely James Bond and wizards. Pierce Brosnan was beloved as 007, but not much else. The Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings films have earned Orlando Bloom some nice paychecks, but you don't see him on the big screen without a pirate ship or elf ears. Colin Firth won an Oscar for his role in The King's Speech, and then predictably evaporated from the collective consciousness of America.
Here's the problem, Britain: these men all possess debonair charm, refined good looks, and the ability to deliver intelligent, nuanced performances. This is a laundry list of the very things Americans find insufferable. We're a simple, insecure populace. We don't like people who are better than us. We like hunky morons like Mark Wahlberg. The closest thing to a hunky moron Britain's ever sent us is Robert Pattinson, and I'm pretty sure he's faking it.
And while it's been over 200 years since we lived under colonial rule, there's something about that quintessential English affect that we still find abrasively superior. Even amongst our own. Observe the widespread animosity towards actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Hathaway. Talented and beautiful, sure, but also perceived as uptight, erudite, perhaps even royal in their dispositions. They just seem British, right down to their names. That doesn't bode well for Mr Cumberbatch, presumably named after a Hogwarts math teacher.
Now the Australians? We've been making megastars out of them for years. Mel Gibson, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, the Hemsworth brothers ... they're everything Americans idealize about manhood. Rugged, short-tempered frontiersman, ready to conquer the plains with a John Wayne-esque machismo. And – take note, Cumberbatch – not too proud to completely sterilize their native accents.
Americans don't have passports, we don't meet many foreigners, and we think proper English diction is an indicator of condescension or homosexuality. Sadly, you can see it in our politics as well: we just tend to trust cowboys more than intellectuals. Hell, we gave Paul Hogan his own Crocodile Dundee trilogy. For the past two decades, Aussie actors have ruled our megaplexes and made billions of dollars by embodying the classical attributes of American masculinity.
When Brits have succeeded here in the states, it's when they have done the same. Batman star Christian Bale exemplifies the guy who we'll trust in a dramatic role because we also know he can beat our brains in ... without being a snob about it. Sean Connery may have been a cultured spy in the Bond films, but he also could slum it as a lunchpail tough guy in films like The Untouchables. Fellow Scotsman Daniel Craig, the most blue-collar of all the Bonds, seems to be on the same track. Even the immortal Daniel Day-Lewis needed bare-knuckle roles in Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood before Americans would ever have accepted him as Lincoln.
If you want success beyond the stereotypical British roles, you must have the charisma to kick ass without the martini drinking pretense or Oscar Wilde snark. The only other route to British success at the American box office is with humor, a la Hugh Grant or Russell Brand, and even in these cases, success was short lived. Again, it's because we don't relate to these guys. We're laughing at them, not with them. That Adam Sandler has dominated the American comedy market for 20 years tells you all you need to know about our appreciation for nuanced performance versus brute stupidity.
Does Benedict Cumberbatch have what it takes to become a megastar in the US? Well, he's smart, attractive, and incredibly talented, so history says no. Just ask Jude Law. Then again, as I look around and see a generation of waifish, anti-meathead hipsters slowly taking over the cultural landscape, with their curly mustaches and effeminate skinny jeans, I can't help but wonder if perhaps America is ready to ditch the macho stereotypes and create a true British megastar for the modern era. Sadly, portraying Julian Assange, whom America's media has vilified as no less than a foreign terrorist, may not be a step in the right direction.
On the other hand, Assange is Australian. So maybe there's a chance.

Chelsea Update
Yesterday was my first opportunity to speak with Chelsea since her sentencing. I am happy to report that she is doing very well at the USDB, and has already made several friends who accept her for who she is. Due to going through indoctrination, Chelsea was unaware of the response to her public statement on the Today show. During our conversation, I informed Chelsea of the overwhelming support for her decision. I also told her about how most responsible media have elected to respect her wishes and refer to her by her new name. Chelsea was very happy to hear of these developments. She requested that I relay how grateful that she is for everyone's understanding and continued support.
In the coming weeks, I will go to the USDB to tour the facility and to speak with the chain of command and the medical health professionals. It is my continued hope that we will be able to obtain hormone therapy and other necessary medical treatment for Chelsea at the USDB. These requests address a serious medical need of Chelsea and are consistent with the general medical community's practice of adequate medical care for those with gender dysphoria.
If you would like to support Chelsea by writing to her, please use the following address (*note that for now the envelope must be addressed to PVT Bradley Manning):
PVT Bradley E. Manning
1300 N. Warehouse Road
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas 66027-2304
You may also look to the Private Manning Support Network and this website for the latest updates on our efforts to support Chelsea through this new phase of her life.
Additional Clarification on PVT Manning's Request
While PVT Manning wants supporters to acknowledge and respect her gender identity as she proceeds into the post-trial state of her life, she also expects that the name Bradley Manning and the male pronoun will continue to be used in certain instances. These instances include any reference to the trial, in legal documents, in communication with the government, in the current petition to the White House calling for clemency, and on the envelope of letters written to her by supporters. She also expects that many old photos and graphics will remain in use for the time being.
In response to PVT Manning's announcement, the Bradley Manning Support Network is changing its name to the Private Manning Support Network, and will work on changing other frequently used parts of its website and materials to incorporate the name Chelsea and the female pronoun. However, completing this process may take some time.
The Support Network has played an important role in organizing public support for PVT Manning since her arrest, and in raising funds to cover 100% of her legal fees. The Support Network will continue its political advocacy efforts to support PVT Manning through this new phase of her life by raising money for the appeals process, advocating for clemency from the Convening Authority and the President and supporting PVT Manning's right to appropriate medical treatment while imprisoned.
Thank you all for supporting our efforts over the years. The fight for PVT Manning's freedom is far from over, but we take hope from the many caring and compassionate people who have taken time out of their day to write to her, to sign petitions, to attend the court-martial and to join protests and other actions around the world. We hope you will help us continue this important work to bring truth and transparency to the forefront of America's conscious. And we hope you will continue to support PVT Manning, a humanist that we have already learned a great deal from, and who we believe still has much to offer this world.
David Edward Coombs and the Private Manning Support Network

SPEARS Seminar: Earth-Space Coupling: Challenging four established hypotheses
Doctor Jesper Gjerloev, Johns Hopkins University. Applied Physics Laboratory.
Tuesday 27 November 2012, 1300-1400
Frankland Colloquium Room
The flow of energy and momentum between the Earth and near-space is highly variable in time and space. This implies considerable observational complications that historically have resulted in empirical models based on oversimplifying assumptions. Further advancing our understanding of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system hinges on global and continuous observations that allow us to overcome these shortcomings.
The global ground based magnetometer initiative, SuperMAG, is an excellent example of this realization. This vast data set is truly unique since it allows continuous and nearly global measurement of a fundamental parameter, the ground level magnetic field, thereby allowing studies of the global electric current system and its coupling to near-space. In this presentation I provide a general introduction to SuperMAG, discuss why you should care and test four well established models/hypotheses that appear in most space physics text books.

MARCY, N.Y. – SUNYIT senior Lyndsey Brognano (Rome, N.Y. / Rome Free Academy) was one of only two NEAC-players to be selected to the D3hoops.com All-East Region Team, as she joined Wells College junior Ashley Roser on the All-East Second Team.
Brognano had one of her best seasons, averaging a career-high in points at 20.2 ppg, and becoming the school's all-time leading scorer halfway through the season.

MARCY, N.Y. – Junior Ashley Roser (Taberg, N.Y.) tallied the 1,000th rebound of her career and set the single-game program record for points scored (39) as the Wells College women's basketball team was defeated by the Wildcats of SUNYIT by a 92-88 overtime score Sunday afternoon at the Campus Center Gym.
With the loss, the Express even their overall record at 12-12 and fall to 11-5 within North Eastern Athletic Conference play. The Wildcats improve to 12-8 overall on the season and to 10-4 within league play.
Entering today's contest with 990 career rebounds, Roser secured an offensive rebound with 8:32 remaining in the first half to grant her 1,000 career boards. In addition, Roser scored 39 total points in this afternoon's loss to the Wildcats, setting a single-game program record.
The previous record of 33 points was set by Roser on Jan. 22, 2011 against the Wildcats of Cazenovia College. Her 27 rebounds also place her second all-time in individual game history, trailing her own all-time record of 31 rebounds, set against Penn St.-Berks on Feb. 13, 2011.
From the charity stripe, Roser also set a program record for the most successful free throws without a miss with 13 successful foul shots. Roser also had the previous program record high, shooting 9-for-9 from the free throw line against St. Elizabeth on Jan. 9, 2011. Collectively as a team, the 88 points scored is a program record mark, eclipsing their previous high of 85 points scored against Penn St.-Harrisburg on Jan. 12 of this year.
In the game, Roser's 39 points led the way for the Express as she poured home 13 field goals in addition to her 13 successful free throws. Freshman Holli Erkson(Cooperstown, N.Y.) ranked second on the team with 15 total points, pouring home her team's lone three-point basket while also securing six field goals, six blocks and four steals for the Express. Freshman Lindsay Achzet (Johnstown, N.Y.) secured 13 total points, shooting 6-for-18 while sophomore Jessilyn Artaho-Aki (Kapaa, Hawaii) rounded out the double-digit scorers for Wells, notching 12 points.
Despite trailing at the half by eight points, 40-32, the Wildcats were able to increase their lead to a game-high 16 points with 8:22 remaining in regulation. The Express, however, turned the tables on the home team, scoring eight straight points to cut the deficit to eight points, 65-57, with 7:21 remaining in the half. The Wildcats reestablished a seven point lead, 70-63, with 5:27 remaining in regulation when the Express went on another run to tie the score at 70 aside with 3:12 remaining.
During that game-tying run, Roser scored all nine points for the Express, utilizing three jumpers and three foul shots to tie the game. With 1:18 remaining in regulation, Abbey Hanahan buried both free throws following a foul on junior Kristen Ryan (Syracuse, N.Y.) to capture a 78-76 lead. The Wildcats, who successfully rebounded a Roser jumper with 1:07 remaining, missed their next two shots, setting up Achzet to bury the game-tying layup with only 16 seconds remaining in regulation. SUNYIT's Kayla McNeil missed a jumper with three seconds remaining in regulation, sending the game to overtime.
In the overtime period, the Express never possessed the lead as the home team was 3-for-3 from the field and buried 8-of-10 free throws in the extra stanza. The Express, who were 4-for-7 from the field in the extra time, cut the deficit to one point with 41 seconds remaining in the overtime period following a Roser layup. However, two Express fouls sent the Wildcats to the line where Hanahan went 1-for-2 down the stretch and McNeil buried both free throws with two seconds remaining to secure the victory.
Hanahan finished with 30 total points for the Wildcats, shooting 11-for-17 from the field and 8-for-11 from the charity stripe. Reigning NEAC Player of the Year Lyndsey Brognano was a team-best 3-for-8 from three-point range, chipping in 24 points for SUNYIT in the win. McNeil posted five blocks and four assists while Hanahan assisted seven Wildcat field goals in the victory.
Wells scored 58 points in the paint as opposed to SUNYIT's 44 points in the lane. In addition to scoring 21 points off of SUNYIT turnovers, the Express outscored their hosts 30-to-6 in second chance opportunities.

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

For caregivers, it's OK to feel good and bad
By Angela Lunde
59 comments posted
In a recent blog, Linda wrote: "As a caregiver, this early stage of my husband's Alzheimer's is a bag of mixed actions. He's not reacted to the diagnosis any more than a common cold. I often feel he is kidding around with me and finding ways to get out of doing things. I don't know what to feel and I don't know what to do. What is going on?"
I wanted to share some thoughts on what Linda wrote because I'm convinced many other Alzheimer's caregivers feel the same. One of the most common neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer's is apathy. Apathy is a symptom of the disease caused by changes in certain regions of the brain.
Persons with apathy show a lack of interest, initiation and motivation. Activities that they once engaged in seem of little interest anymore. They appear passive, indifferent and may lack "normal" emotion or concern toward others or the environment around them.
When apathy is present, Alzheimer's caregivers often describe their loved ones as stubborn or lazy. Caregivers feel that they have to take responsibility for everything; understandably, this can lead to conflict. Caregivers can feel like they are constantly giving orders, nagging, and questioning the intentions of their loved one with the disease. Over time, they may feel resentment toward their loved one, and become more angry and overwhelmed as their caregiving responsibilities increase.
It's important to keep in mind that persons with Alzheimer's generally lack the ability to scheme or plot a way to "get out of" something. No degree of nagging or persuasion will motivate someone with apathy. In addition, pointing out their lack of interest, inability to complete common tasks, or overall unwillingness, will not improve the situation. In fact, it will probably make things worse.
This does not mean that Alzheimer's caregivers should never feel angry. To the contrary, caregivers have every right to feel all emotions that come their way — anger, fear, sadness, guilt, pain. If caregivers don't give themselves permission to feel what they feel, all emotions eventually go numb. To feel love, joy, contentment, we must accept whatever our lives (and our feelings) are at the moment. Give yourself permission to feel it all Linda — good and bad.
