The New Mexico Medical Board held a disciplinary hearing last week for an abortionist who botched a procedure at 35 weeks. The hearing highlighted New Mexico's lax abortion laws, which allow for abortions up to the day of birth and often are paid for with taxpayer dollars.
Shelley Sella of Southwest Women's Options in Albuquerque is accused of performing an induction abortion in May 2011 on a woman who previously had a Caesarian Section, which should have disqualified her from the procedure. Sella also overused uterine stimulants to increase the severity of the woman's contractions until the uterus ruptured and she was rushed to a hospital.
Induction abortions skirt the federal ban of partial-birth abortions by killing the baby in the womb through injections that cause cardiac arrest. The abortionist then gives the mother drugs to induce early labor. The baby is delivered whole or dismembered.
Catholic pro-life group Project Defending Life uncovered the case after obtaining more than a dozen 911 recordings dating back to 2008 of women being transferred from Southwestern Women's Option to hospitals after botched abortions. Tara Shaver of Project Defending Life partnered with national pro-life group Operation Rescue to file 11 complaints with the medical board last year, and only Sella's case was taken up.
"In other states, people have lost their licenses over these types of calls," Shaver said concerning the other 10 complaints. "But in New Mexico there is a strong pro-abortion bias...Unfortunately the medical board didn't come to the conclusion that more [of the calls] were medically negligent."
Shaver said there is no way to know whether any of the women died from the botched procedures because of patient confidentiality, although many of the conditions are life-threatening.
Sella previously worked as a late-term abortionist at George Tiller's center in Wichita, Kansas, which Operation Rescue helped close in 2009. She cancelled her Kansas license when her co-worker Anna Kristin Neuhaus was charged with providing illegal late-term abortion referrals to Sella using fake health diagnoses. Neuhaus's medical license has since been permanently revoked.
Sella now works with Susan Robinson, also a Tiller associate, at Curtis Boyd's Southwestern Women's Option, the only abortion clinic in the state that specializes in lucrative late-term abortions past 22 weeks gestation. Late-term abortions can cost more than $10,000 and women from all over the nation come to the clinic to have them.
New Mexico's policy of having Medicaid cover late-term abortions, even without a medical reason, only makes the situation worse, said Troy Newman, Operation Rescue president.
"It's their dirty little secret," he said. In 2011, tax money paid for 1,786 abortions.
Operation Rescue and Project Defending Life also found some tax money received by the University of New Mexico goes to the university-run abortion center, which aborts babies up to 22 weeks. The money is spent on financing the clinic; training medical residents in abortion techniques, particularly for late-term abortions; and conducting experimental research on patients with regard to abortion, contraception, and sterilizations.
"This is a state with very little abortion laws, and we're hoping to change that," Newman said. "When we find a situation like this happen, we bring it to the legislature to show how horrible a 35-week abortion is....We'll be working with legislature to get some kind of positive legislation passed."
He believes that pro-life advocates can get even Democrats behind laws restricting late-term abortions, pointing to a recent Gallup poll that showed 86 percent of Americans are against abortions in the third trimester.
The New Mexico Medical Board will decide Sella's case in three months.
"I think [this case] is important because abortionists think they are above the law, especially in New Mexico [where] abortions are highly unregulated," Shaver said. "If she is disciplined, it sends a strong message to her colleague that this is not acceptable, and that those of us who oppose it will not stop letting the public know how women are being harmed."

[December 06, 2012]
Would you wear a video display on your sleeve?
Dec 06, 2012 (St. Louis Post-Dispatch - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Video screens are everywhere, so why not on clothes. If you thought logo apparel was obnoxious, wait until there's a YouTube video of a cat playing piano on the sleeve of a stranger next to you at the supermarket.
Will clothing be yet another thing we have to turn off before landing and takeoff The answer is yes.
Macy's and Sean John have introduced a shawl collar, fleece sweater with a windowed pouch on the left sleeve. The pouch is for a Fashion Video Name Tag. The small screen offers continuous play of downloaded video content, but it does not offer sound just yet.
Sales of the high tech sweater will be tested at select Macy's stores beginning this week, according to reports. Macy's is offering an introductory price of $125 (regular price will be $198), according to reports.
The display comes from Recom Group and was discovered at geek heaven, also known as the Consumer Electronics Show. The display has a 2.8-inch active matrix organic LED panel, although we here at Stylefile have no idea what that means it sounds impressive. The resolution of the screen is 320 by 240 pixels (the same as some smartphones) and it has 2 gigabytes of storage.
The concept is a bit geeky but intriguing. Right now, I can't imagine walking around with a glowing screen on my sleeve, but then again five years ago, I'd never imagine a cell phone as my most faithful palm companion.
Manufacturer's of the Video Name Tag promise that the internal lithium-ion battery allows the screen to operate for 6 to 10 hours continuously. The little display supports full motion video or still images.
Durand Guion, Macy's VP of men's fashion, spotted the device at last year's Consumer Electronics Show and approached Sean John.
"This is a big deal for Macy's and Sean John," Rob Norden, Macy's chief executive officer told Marketing Daily in an email. "It's never been done before." The fashion video tag slides into a pocket on the sleeve, which makes it waterproof, but still have to be removed before washing. The device comes with software that allows users to download any YouTube or personal video. It holds up to two hours of content, which can be played for up to 10 hours from a single charge.
Macy's is calling it the world's first integration of video and fashion, but that sounds tricky. There have been experimental video and fashion items on runways before and technically exercise items with a pouch for an iPod Touch could integrate video and fashion, but let's not be picky.
Macy's stores in Missouri are not yet scheduled to carry the product, but you can keep track of availability at recomgroup.com/macys.htm. And if you want to see the screen (sans the shawl sweater from the aforementioned rap star and fashion mogul) in action Tom Cruise uses it as a communications device in "Jack Reacher," opening later this month.

He is cool, calm and totally in control on race day. I wish he would get hotter, agitated and a little out of control for qualifying, it would make for much more interesting raceing. No doubt though, a class act all round.

Infrared Jade Saunas
How would you like to bliss out for 30 minutes while burning calories, eliminating toxins, improving your skin, and strengthening your cardiovascular and immune systems, all while relaxing, reducing stress and fatigue?
Simply slip into one of our futuristic near and far infrared sauna 'pods', serenely situated in our spa sanctuary – with dim lighting, calm music and aromatherapy infused air – and relax and rejuvenate while you sleep, meditate, or just bliss out as your troubles melt away.
How do they work?
Using the ancient healing power of jade stone, combined with high-tech near and far infrared rays, our Infrared Jade Saunas actually heat you up from the inside out, versus typical dry saunas that merely heat the air and only heat you from the outside in. And, unlike saunas found at most traditional gyms, at FBE you won't be in a cramped space sitting on a hot wooden bench with a bunch of sweaty strangers. Who really relaxes in that type of environment?
Why are they unique?
Our saunas utilize both near and far infrared rays allowing you to experience deeper healing because research shows that the combination allows for deeper tissue penetration, provides anti-inflammatory as well as pain relieving benefits and increases collagen production.
Our Infrared Jade Saunas are private and temperature controlled based on your comfort zone where you decide what level of heat is good for you. Just slip into your personal pod, recline on the jade stone bed, and close the lid for cozy time away from the noise and chaos of city life. If you have claustrophobia – no problem, your head stays out so that you can breathe fresh air the entire time.
What are their benefits?
Jade stone is known around the world for its anti-aging effects and is credited by many cultures with boosting mental awareness and acuity. So not only do Infrared Jade Sauna rays melt stress away, they can actually help you look and feel younger! Also, since our saunas use both near and far infrared, the rays will penetrate your body and influence your being at a cellular level by actually increasing energy levels inside your cells. All without harmful EMF emissions that some saunas emit. It makes a perfect post workout pit stop and should be an integral part of your weight loss, detoxification, and anti-aging programs.
Infrared Jade Saunas help strengthen your immune system, detoxify your body and treat conditions such as sciatica, arthritis, fibromyalgia, acne, achy joints and sore muscles.
Studies show that Infrared Saunas offer the following benefits that have been demonstrated through scientific research:
- Detoxifies and Enhances Health
- Burns Calories and Increases Metabolism by as much as 20%
- Improves Complexion and Circulation which helps to reduce cellulite
- Strengthens the Immune System
- Significantly Reduces Pain
- 30 minutes in the sauna provides the same cardiovascular conditioning as a 6 mile run
Infrared Sauna Pricing
Infrared Jade Saunas 60 minute Session – $85
Pre-Paid 3-60 min Session Package – $225
Pre-Paid 6- 60 min Session Package – $420
Preparing for your visit We recommend wearing shorts and a tank top while in the sauna. Please bring a towel to lay over the jade stones in the sauna and a pillow for your head will be provided. We have a locker room and provide a complimentary lock and key during yoru visit so you can either come dressed ready to sauna or get changed one you are here. We suggest you do not shower for at least one hour after your infrared sauna session as your pores are still expelling toxins and showering can shut the process down

Hi .... I DO NOT have diabetes. My fasting blood sugar has
Resolved Question:
Hi .... I DO NOT have diabetes. My fasting blood sugar has always been in the mid 80s. I have high cholesterol. Overall number 233. HDL 47. LDL 150. After trying a well balanced vegan diet for 28 days my numbers did not change. AND my triglycerides went up from the previous year from 125 to 203. I am not and do not want to go on statins. I did try Red Yeast Rice prescribed in a small dose by a naturopath but developed arm pain at rest and in motion. I weaned myself off and the pain was gone after several months. Both my brothers, one a Type I diabetic, have had pain reaction from statins. They have been switched and continue to take them. I have TYPE I and II diabetes in my family. My health is good. I am a 60 year old, post menopausal (12 years) female. I am perplexed as to how I should be eating. I do like to mostly eat vegetarian, but will buy and eat salmon, organic chicken, and grass-fed beef when it is on sale. I eat small portions. I tend to eat low carb. Example: 1/2 piece flourless whole grain bread with 1 tble almond butter, green tea with lemon (or latte with soy milk), green drink in 8 oz glass of water mixed with 4 oz pomegranite juice (I have mild diagnosed colitis so I add 1 teaspoon of psyllium husk), 2 brazil nuts. Lunch: Handful of romaine lettuce, handful of spinach, purple cabbage, red pepper, several baby carrots, soy nuts, 1 tble raw pumpkin seeds, 1 tble black sesame seeds, none fat dressing that I make from The Engine 2 (vegan) Cookbook. Dinner is generally a rice and bean combination (low fat) and vegetables. I enjoy tofu no more than once a week, if that. I am 4 feet, 10 1/2 inches tall and weigh 120 lbs. My husband and I always split meals when we eat out. Logic tells me my high numbers must have something to do with how I process carbs but I am perplexed as to why that would not show up in my fasting sugar readings. Thank you..... Lynne

Hello. Thank you for coming to JustAnswer with your question, and welcome.
Your diet, as you have described, looks very good. However, I do not see much fat in your diet. "Good" fats are important in maintaining a good balance of HDL, LDL, cholesterol and triglycerides. Good fats would include fatty fish (such as the salmon), olives and olive oil, and avocados. Basically, you are looking for sources of monosaturated fats and Omega 3 fatty acids. Here is a link to a good article for more information about "good" fats:
Many people are helped by just taking a fish oil supplement daily.
High triglycerides can also be caused by drinking alcoholic beverages. For some people, even light drinking can be a problem because of the way the sugars in the alcohol are processed by the body. Also, just eating high glycemic carbohydrates (an example would be white rice) can cause triglycerides to be elevated. So any processed grains you are eating should be changed to whole grain.
Triglycerides can also be affected by exercise. Daily exercise should include some aerobic/cardio type (even just walking briskly), and some weight type training. Your level of triglycerides is basically affected by the amount of calories you consume, versus the amount of calories you are burning. If you do not use all of the calories you eat, they will be converted into triglycerides. And since your weight in within the "normal" BMI range (high normal), what may be happening is that sometimes you get enough activity to use up calories before being converted; and sometimes you don't. So, a regular exercise program should help your body balance everything easier, and may help reduce your triglycerides.
Here is another link to a good article from Mayo Clinic about

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

At this stage it might be helpful to have a look at the definitions McCarthy and Zald use in their statement of the RMA. First they define a social movement as a set of opinions and beliefs in a population which represents preferences for changing some elements of the social structure and/or reward distribution of a society. Then a social movement organization is a complex, or formal, organization which identifies its goals with the preferences of a social movement or a counter movement and attempts to implement these goals. Further a social movement industry is made up of all of the social movement organizations with relatively similar goals (just as an economic industry is all firms offering similar products). Finally a social movement sector consists of all social movement industries in a society, no matter to which social movement they are attached. [Zald and McCarthy, 1980, p.2]
For the topic of East-East cooperation among environmental NGOs these definitions show us first that we are dealing with one social movement industry, namely the environmental movement and second that the focus lies on social movement organizations, namely the NGOs. The broad concept of a movement, as Zald and McCarthy define it, is not meant when the term environmental movement is used in this report, so that the last proposition of the RMA mentioned by Kitschelt is set aside for this research. In order to define the term environmental movement as it is used here a little side step to the New Social Movement theory is needed. According to this theory the environmental movement is the whole of environmental organizations and individual environmental activists. Besides that the environmental movement is one of the New Social Movements, which have some characteristics, according to Claus Offe. [Offe, 1983, p. 42]. They are groups of citizens who act in the name of the collectivity (of all people, all woman, all animals, for example), their theme's are the conservation or creation of peace, a clean environment, human rights and not alienated labor. The value of personal autonomy is important and their way of acting is political protest based on negative formulated claims. These characteristics draw the outlines of the potential East-East cooperative environmental NGOs we can find in Central Europe. Summarizing this side step to the New Social Movement theory, we find the following definition of the environmental NGO, namely: Non Governmental Organizations with the socio-political purpose of the creation or protection of a clean environment.
Now we come back to Kischelt's five other propositions of the RMA, in order to find out which propositions are indeed applicable to this research on East-East cooperation among environmental NGOs. The first two propositions of the RMA direct us to the underlying rational actor models of the RMA. Most RMA authors see both the behavior of individuals in movements as well as the strategies of movement organizations as rational. This means in practice that clarity about objectives and strategies of organizations and activists is assumed. For the environmental NGOs where this research focuses on this assumption might be valid.
The fourth proposition of RMA defines and shows the importance of resources for a social movement organization. These resources and how to mobilize them is definitely important for the research population. East-East cooperation demands several resources, so that the questions which resources in particular and how to mobilize them are highly interesting for this research.
The fifth proposition draws back on the surroundings of social movements and social movement organizations. In fact this proposition was not abstracted only from the original RMA statements of Zald and McCarthy. It draws back upon the influence of the political process model of McAdam which gives much more attention to the 'opportunity structures' surrounding social movement organizations. Of course the situation in which the environmental NGOs do their jobs is important for the way they act. In the next paragraph the political process model and the connected 'opportunity structure' will be explained.
A following point of interest are the mutual relations within the social movement sector, this means in our case between the environmental NGOs. According to the RMA both cooperation and competition play a role. [Zald and McCarthy, 1979, p. 242; 1980, p. 2] Cooperation ought to exist in order to bring about commonly shared goals, since all environmental organizations are part of the same social movement industry and share the goal of a clean and healthy environment. But in the same time the RMA highlights the fact that similar organizations, like environmental NGOs, are in competition over the mobilization of resources.
Both cooperation and competition are rational strategies in themselves; it is depending on the situation which one is followed in what situation by a particular environmental organization. An organization might cooperate with some others, ignore other organizations and compete with the next couple of groups. Even within one relationship between NGOs cooperation and competition might exist next to each other. For example cooperation may exist on a local level project, while in the same time competition between these two groups occurs on getting the leadership or funding for a national project. Among East-East cooperative NGOs the situation will not be different. All three strategies, cooperation, competition and ignorance, will occur, depending on mutual relationships within the national and international NGO community, the amount of resources available and the specific topics where upon the groups are focused.
All organizations within one social movement industry share a common market wherein specialization of the individual groups can help them to find their 'niche' in the market. Implicit or explicit domain agreements between environmental NGOs give them their place in society. These domain agreements concern for example the organizations' strategy, the particular issue of interest, the segment of sympathizers or the geographical scale. [Zald and McCarthy, 1979, p. 242]
In a relatively stable social movement industry cooperation will be more likely than in a strongly internal factionalized social movement industry. McCarthy and Zald have the impression that 'the modern environmental movement is far less conflict-ridden than, for instance, the earlier socialist movement'. [Zald and McCarthy, 1979, p. 243] With the latter impression we should keep in mind that it is given in 1979 and refers to the situation in the United States. The mutual relationships of environmental movement organizations in Central Europe by 1996 might be different.
Summarizing the efforts of the resource mobilization approach, it gives us a basis for observing the attitude and behavior of social movement organizations, namely rational behavior is expected. Further this approach shows us the possibilities of interaction of social movement organizations which can be cooperation and/or competition. Then the RMA makes us aware of the high importance of resources for social movement organizations. And finally it defines what these resources are and how we can structure and define a social movement, as it is done, with the help of the New Social Movement theory, for the environmental movement and the term environmental NGO.

Want to Get "The Bible" Series from The History Channel on DVD? See When It Comes Out!
"The Bible" mini-series on The History Channel has been the break out show of the year on TV to the surprise of many. The 10 hour film has been airing in 2 hour episodes every Sunday night in March with the finale this Sunday night, by no mistake, on Easter Sunday.
The success of the show has been due in large part to the power of social media with popular pastors around the country spreading the word from T.D Jakes, to Joel Osteen, to Rick Warren. However, for any of the 70 million people that have watched an episode so far, you see that this film has put in the work to make it great. The acting has been fantastic and the sets and CGI have been wonderful at bringing scenes and situations alive.
If you can't get enough of this film of "the greatest story ever told," well the release is coming one week from today. The Bible will hit Blu-ray, DVD, and digital HD on April 2.
Both the Blu-ray and DVD copies of the series will run a little steep, with the list price for Blu-rays running at $69.99 and DVDs running at $59.98. Luckily, if you are in the mood to pre-order the April release, you can get a pretty good deal over at Amazon for either set.
Here is a full list of bonus features, below.
The Bible Blu-ray and DVD Extras"Genesis" - With Mark Burnett and Roma Downey as our guides, we discover how the team approached the daunting task of filming the stories of the Bible

I like it- like the stylized smoke and skull, but i just did quit smoking, so the cigarette doesn't seem to fit... the smoke does look good, though- actually, that can be incorporated into hot gun barrels, if and when they are used.
#58 to #57 - mushizombie (10/18/2012) [-]
sorry! originally i had a gun in his mouth but since i couldn't draw it right i erased it and made a simple cigarette instead. congrats on quitting :) i can take that out and leave it blank so ou can draw in a gun or what ever you'd like.
#59 to #58 - sevensixtwo (10/18/2012) [-]
lol well i also had a few suicide attempts last year as well... haha well done though. hmmm... let me think with what you have so far... I was trying to stay away from symbolism, but it seems harder than I thought.
#60 to #59 - mushizombie (10/18/2012) [-]
oh wow, I'm an idiot then. sorry about that D:
#61 to #60 - sevensixtwo (10/19/2012) [-]
Trust me, you aren't an idiot for that- you didn't know, and I'm not the least bit offended... I'm certainly not against a dark tattoo, but I want to keep this as awesome and original as possible- some themes are acceptable, but when people see it, I want to hear awesome. Possibly random, but The one- of- a kind pieces you only see once every few years. Ink that you remember, you know? Draw something... something you would want to get put on yourself. Not necessarily for me, in your mind, but for you. What defines awesome for you? I'm taking into consideration we have never spoken, never met, or discussed anything other than this- but what would you wear for life? Something like that.
#62 to #61 - mushizombie (10/19/2012) [-]
alright, I'm going to start fresh then. give me some more time and ill try to present you with something ******* awesome.
#63 to #62 - sevensixtwo (10/19/2012) [-]
That is fine with me... I'm always here if you need ideas, and I apologize if you feel I have pressured you. I love your style though, and keep up the good work!

#49 to #48 - sevensixtwo (09/29/2012) [-]
Well, my dad is into hot rods, so im familiar with the work, but im not a rabid fan- enough to recognize a similarity, and thats about it. If you go too much into it, it might look like a rip-off, and i want to keep this original to you (or us).. but as you add more to the design, there wont be as much attention on this one piece here, so keep going with you original thread so fer and see what turns up.
#50 to #49 - mushizombie (09/29/2012) [-]
alright sounds good :) i just want to make sure you're happy with it lol
#51 to #50 - sevensixtwo (09/29/2012) [-]

Just posted this in General Cycling without even realizing this forum was here, so here it is again...
Ok so I am an overweight person (started at 280 and am now down to 238) I have done this mostly by doing the Atkins diet.
Now I understand that different people have different views on how the Atkins diet will affect overall health, and while I apreciate the concern it is working for me where nothing else has in the past.
I am very new to cycling so my body is not at all conditioned for it yet and I tire out very easily, lately though I have been wondering how much of that is a lack of fitness and how much of that is a lack of carbs.
My question to everyone here however is how badly am I going to hurt my ability to ride by living on a low carb diet? I generaly consume under 30 carbs per day, which obviously means that curently the sugestions of Pasta, Clif Bars, etc are not being utilized by me.
So to be effective on a bike should I forego the low-carb diet? All together? Only while on the bike?
Any input (cycling specific only please) is greatly apreciated.

Lights, Camera, Passion
September 9, 2009 - Phyllis Sigal
I spent an hour or so Tuesday talking with one of Wheeling's own talented actors ... Kristin Slaysman. When I got off the phone, I was blown away by her intelligence and by how articulate she was about her craft.
Then, the word came to me ... it was really her passion about theater that got to me.
She talked about "falling in love with theater," which happened when she was a student at Wheeling Park High School in the 1990s. She talked about "falling in love with the process of doing film," which she's done by appearing in five or six films.
Kristin is part of an ensemble called 404 Strand, a group of actors and a director, who are performing "faustUS" now through Saturday at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater in Pittsburgh. The members of the group come from all over — Paris, Toronto, London, L.A., Philadelphia, Pittsburgh — to create together. "faustUS" is based on Christopher Marlowe's, "The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus," which was written in 1604
She talked about feeling "valuable" as she works to help create an "ensemble-devised" play.
"Why this work is so important is that in the process, a member of the ensemble has so much input. That's really special." It's the ensemble process she said that "is a way of working that embraces the magic of theater."
"There's a wonderful sense of play and a wonderful calmness" in making theater with an ensemble, she said.
Kristin, who is now based in L.A., but also spends a lot of time in New York and Pittsburgh, where she first worked with the ensemble at Quantum Theatre, which was founded by Wheelingite Karla Boos. The 2007 show, "The Collected Works of Billy the Kid," was directed by Dan Jemmett, who now serves as director of 404 Strand. The ensemble worked a second time with Quantum, and this third piece is the first on its own.
The ensemble "workshopped" "faustUS" for four weeks in a storefront in Pittsburgh, just next door to the theater in which it opened Tuesday.
Kristin uses words like "sculpt" and "hone" and "create" and "organic" and "freedom" and "intimate" and "personal" to talk about what she does as an actor. You can tell it all comes from the heart, which indeed, is where it must come from. That's what you get from a good actor.
It's the spark you see as an audience member — the heart bursting through in a smile, a gesture, a look. I could feel that spark across the phone lines when listening to Kristin.
Passion. I think it will take Kristin Slaysman far.
For more about Kristin and "faustUS," check out my story in Friday's TGIF section of The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register.

DEKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois University softball team travels to Chicago this week for a doubleheader with UIC Wednesday and a single game with DePaul Thursday afternoon.
The Huskies' (11-20, 6-2) doubleheader with UIC was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but was pushed back a day due to inclement weather around the Chicago area.
Northern Illinois heads into its game with the Flames looking to build on its sweep of Bowling Green Saturday afternoon. NIU came from behind in both games, defeating the Falcons, 7-6, in its last at bat of Game 1 and winning the second game 9-6. Northern's offensive explosion against BGSU came a day after the Huskies scored five runs in two games against Toledo.
"We're just working on getting better and being more consistent," NIU head coach Lindsay Chouinard said. "Sometimes we show glimpses and greatness and sometimes we don't. It's been like that the last three weeks. Not that it not great to win, but at the end of the day that's not the most important thing for us. The most important thing is working on getting better.
Despite some inconsistent play at times, Chouinard has been pleased with her team's approach at the plate and the way the outfield has played the last few weeks.
"The hitting is much improved," she said. "Our players know they are very capable and confident in their ability to hit the ball. That's a nice place to be. Offensively, everybody in our line up feels they can do something good when they come up to bat. That felling is contagious.
"The outfield is doing really well and has pretty good range. They're doing a good job of getting to some balls hit out there."
Thursday's game with DePaul will be a homecoming for Chouinard and NIU assistant coach Kara Amundson who both played collegiately for the Blue Demons.
"Honestly, it's just another game," Chouinard said. "Of course it would be wonderful to win. It's going to be a little strange being at DePaul's field in the visitor's dugout. Those are people I spent a lot of years with and people that I respect."

A typical NYC pizza place. What kind of slice would you like — one with vegetables like brocolli or one with meat like salami or pepperoni? Or would you prefer a plain slice — just cheese? Take your pick.
Have a good week, everyone!

Mashed Avocado on Toasted Bread
May 9, 2006 | Filed Under Vegetables, Veggie Way blog | Leave a Comment
The title reads 'Mashed Avocado on Toasted Bread.' However in my case, it's 'Mashed Avocado on Toasted Bagels.Isil from Veggie Way made this simple meal, which grabbed my attention immediately — especially since I had two ripe avocados waiting to be eaten. She didn't give specific quantity ingredient instructions, but it's easy to guess: Basically, you mash an avocado, add some lemon juice, a few drops of olive oil, chopped greens (like parsley or dill), and salt to taste. Mix and then spread the mashed avocado over toasted bread. Isil also adds that if you have any leftovers, you can add it to your next salad meal. Not bad. Not bad at all! Thanks, Isil. Paz
New York Monday #23: City sidewalks

Have a great week!
Farmer's Market International Parade Event
May 6, 2006 | Filed Under Farmers' Market, Fish Market, Food Market, Gourmet Market, Grocery Store | Leave a Comment
Cooking Diva and El Amor por la Cocina are hosting an event called the Farmer's Market International Parade. This is my submission.You are asked to blog about the market where you like to shop (or wherever you buy your food). "It could be any kind of market: fish market, meat market, fruits and veggies market, supermarkets, even handcrafts market if they create cooking tools and plates, for example."
Here are the complete guidelines in English and in Spanish.
I shop at several different grocery stores, in my neighborhood, for different food products. However, when I buy fish, I usually go to Citarella, a food store that has branches all over the city. I have mentioned Citarella before, here. In addition to fish, they sell meats and a few other grocery products fruits, vegetables, baked goods, chocolates, cheeses, etc… They have even started to sell flowers, which you see when you first walk into the store.
I like that the fish sold at Citarella is fresh and clean and I haven't had any problems with what they sell to me, so far.
When I walked into the store, I started to take photos. A few minutes later, one of the staff members came to me and told me that I wasn't allowed to take photos. I said okay but when he left me, I took a few more photos. Oh, what I go through and risk for my blog and my readers!
Here are a few photos of what one may find at Citarella's.
So, where do you do your grocery shopping? Blog about it and let Cooking Diva know.

The Geological Society of Minnesota is a public-spirited, nonprofit educational organization that has been in operation since 1938. Our ongoing mission has been to promote public interest and supply educational support in the geological sciences. We do this by sponsoring free lectures and labs at the University of Minnesota, conducting statewide and regional field trips, holding classroom presentations for schools, maintaining a media library, publishing relevant information for public distribution, and maintaining and expanding upon a series of geological markers located throughout the state.
GSM's exciting, illustrated Seminars are presented by leading professionals in their fields of Geology or Earth Science. These engaging talks are free and open to the public, and are especially valuable for enthusiastic learners from secondary school students to adults. A question and answer opportunity is always included. Where else can you enjoy an intriguing exchange with a leading scientist or educator? Our novice-friendly labs demonstrate at a comfortable pace the ideas and principles of geology and earth science. They allow an involved, hands-on learning experience for beginners, or a helpful refresher for the seasoned enthusiast. These instructive sessions are also free and open to the public. Where else can you actively practice science, under expert guidance, for free?
The seminars are on Mondays at 7:00 PM on the University of Minnesota campus, except where noted otherwise.
Next Seminar: Fall 2016.
Summer Fun Activities
Visit our Road Marker web site GSM Road Markers where we have create a geologic summer vacation game called Marker Treasure Hunt visit the site for more details.
Field Trips
During the months of May through October, GSM conducts a series of professionally-guided, statewide and regional field trips. These are one to three day excursions made to points of geologic interest not usually experienced by the casual traveler. They afford a very memorable and satisfying learning experience as there are always plenty of hands-on and question-answering opportunities. A comaraderie with enthusiastic learners and people curious about their natural environment is always a reward in itself. There is a small charge for any shared expense, and a liability waiver must be signed for each participant.
Speakers for metro area elementary schools are available through the Public Service Committee to help enrich the education of young learners, particularly the 2nd to 4th grade levels.
Membership in the society is open to anyone with an interest in geology. The benefits of membership include:

Rockets and Missiles
The rocket, a reaction-propulsion device that carries all of its propellants internally, has been around for almost a millennium since its invention in China. But the twentieth-century saw a technological explosion of new rocket-propulsion systems, using both solid and liquid propellants. Rocket-powered vehicles were developed for two primary purposes: spaceflight and weaponry. Guided missiles also appeared in the mid-twentieth century with air-breathing propulsion systems, and these are included in the National Air and Space Museum's Rockets and Missiles collection. Among its highlights are: the world's best collection of artifacts from American rocket pioneer Robert Goddard, an extensive collection of German World War II missile and rocket artifacts, a large number of American Cold War missiles and launch vehicles, and rocket engines from small thrusters to a gigantic F-1 motor from the Saturn V Moon rocket.

App experience drives healthy mobile ecosystems. However, mobile platforms present unique challenges to developers seeking to provide such experiences: device heterogeneity, wireless network diversity, and unpredictable sensor inputs. We propose Contextual Fuzzer, a cloud-based testing service that addresses two challenges. First, it provides a large set of realistic mobile contextual parameters to developers with emulators. Second, it enables scalable mobile context exploration with app similarity networks. To evaluate the system design, we profile 147 Windows Store mobile apps on our testbed. Results show that we can uncover up to 11 times more crashes than existing testing tools without mobile context. In addition, our app similarity network increases the number of abnormal performances found in a given time by up to 36%, as compared to the current practices.

(Editor's note: A Chronicle reader requested that we reprint this column that first ran in July 2004. It's a good one, so here goes.)
Several weeks ago, a friend and I were talking about ghosts in closets -- things that people say they've forgiven and forgotten, but they really haven't.
Compassion is defined as caring about the suffering and needs of others. If we want to live in a world of kindness and compassion, we must also walk the talk. This trait must be created inside ourselves and be demonstrated by our outward acts. We are each challenged to examine our own behavior and thoughts. We need to control our response to external events, actions and opinions of others in order to build compassion for what motivates their behavior. Compassion starts with being able to understand where the other person is coming from.
It's no surprise to people who know me that I am not a fancy Nancy.
I'm not plain, and I am (I hope) feminine, but I'm definitely not lacy, doily, flowery foo-foo.
I'm so not a princess.
That said, I'm constantly getting invited to women's events that border on the fancy. This past weekend, I was with a group of women at a nearby Victorian hotel, which has fancy in its very structure.
Here's a question for you: Is it wrong to be angry with God?
Most of us who are afraid of lightning bolts frying our faces off or earthquakes rattling our brains and opening the earth to swallow us whole would probably say yes.
God is God and Creator and we are very much not God. That said, can we be honest? Sometimes God does stuff — or doesn't do stuff — that ticks us off.
If I had to choose just one favorite book of the Bible, I would choose Romans, chock full of theology, which I love.
And if I had to choose just one favorite chapter in all of Romans, hands down it would be chapter 8.
And if I could choose only one verse in chapter 8 to tattoo across my shoulder, it has to be verse 1: "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
Many couples are creating their own version of wedding vows. My husband and I just got back from a trip to Chicago to my youngest son's wedding. Kevin and his new bride are a part of this intentional movement to give conscientious thought to the commitments they are making to one another. I want to share with you the promises they expressed as reasons to choose to spend the rest of their lives together. Here is part of their wedding ceremony:
One of the truly great inventions of the modern era is the DVR.
I love mine with all my heart, mind, soul and strength.
Last week I watched a movie I had recorded called "Sins of the Mother," about the relationship between a young woman and her formerly abusive, alcoholic mother.
What you eat affects your ability to sleep. Avoid eating pasta and meat casserole late in the evening. Carbohydrates and protein, as well as sugary desserts can disturb restful sleep and may even keep a person awake. Sugar products can be related to moodiness and a racing mind. Poor digestion can be related to getting less sleep. Catnip/lemon balm tea and taking one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with honey or Alovera Juice for indigestion.
Scattered throughout any community are tiny, struggling churches.
Sometimes they're invisible. If you blink while driving past them you'll miss them. Or they're eyesores - run down, weather worn.
In my 20 years covering local religion for the newspaper, I've gotten to know the people at some of these little churches.
I've attended their services and could count the people in the pews with two hands and not need a third.
One of my favorite stories is the one where my friend Mike announced that he had given up pride for Lent.
He was so proud of his decision, couldn't wait to start. Just knew he'd nail it.
That was about seven or so years ago and we still laugh about it.

Shah Rukh Khan is a million different people from one day to the next. He is a seasoned actor, mercurial brand endorser, committed entrepreneur, sports enthusiast and avid content consumer and provider. He holds people up, to the same exacting standards, as he asks of himself. Khan may soon start a football league and is looking to invest in the restoration of cinema.
Hes also invested in a spanking new digital department at Red Chillies and will do a lot more in the area of visual effects. In a conversation with Fe BrandWagons Anindita Sarkar, Khan explains that he is not picky about brands when it comes to endorsements and he will never trade endorsement fees for equity. Media assets dont interest him at all since newspapers will be out of circulation soon and television is too expensive to be invested in. (Edited excerpts)
You joined Bollywood in the early 90s. What has changed for the film industry since then?
For films, there is a huge organisational and structural change that has come in. Earlier, our films used to take one and a half years to complete and it was largely disorganised. The industry then depended greatly on the distributors and relationships with them. There were all these people who would be making films regularly but one day they got it wrong and their production houses would be sold off. Now, corporatisation has finally come in and with itat least a part of the business has become justifiable. Whether this change has come about because of Sony, Reliance, Viacom, UTV or Erosit surely is a welcome change. They are the ones who are putting multiple eggs in different baskets. The array includes commercial films, off-beat films, small films, big films. Consequently, we dont have to do it all as a production house. We can be as creative as we wish to be. Distribution is a lot more organised today - especially overseas distribution. You get feedback instantly. Each ticket bought is told to you in every one minute. The business is becoming more transparent. We have moved on from the time when distributors asked you to insert a cabaret dance in the film to an era when they just love the film for what it is. The middle man - the guy who used to be the go-between for the exhibitor - has been removed in many cases by the corporate entities.

Thank you,
Dear XXXXX,
When you say that the account was not POD prior to my sisters death, do you mean that: because it wasn't distributed before my sisters death we have to file an affidavit?
There is a general provision in my fathers will which states the following:
"For the purpose of construing the provisions of this Will, I direct that any beneficiary shall not be deemed to have survived me if such beneficiary dies at the same time I do or within ninety days after my death, and this Will shall take effect and my property be distributed as though such beneficiary had predeceased me." Does this provision mean nothing or is there a law which takes precedence over my fathers wishes?
