Measles, mumps, and whooping cough may seem like quaint old illnesses confined to 19th century novels. But more and more teens are being exposed to them, especially in schools and on college campuses where large numbers of people are together in close quarters.
Diseases like measles, which were on their way out in the United States, are making a comeback as they are brought in from other countries by travelers. These diseases wouldn't spread as quickly — or be as serious — if people were immunized against them. But many teens aren't.
It's not your fault if you don't have all the immunizations (vaccinations) you need. Shots that doctors recommend today may not have been required when you were younger. So you may not have had them.
Also, some vaccinations are given as a series of shots, not just one single dose. Some people may have missed getting all the required shots. Not getting a full course of a vaccine leaves a person unprotected and still at risk for getting a disease. Other vaccinations require a booster shot every few years to ensure that the level of immunity remains high.
Missing a shot may not seem like a bad thing — nobody wakes up in the morning thinking they'd love to go out and get a jab in the arm. But there are good reasons to get shots:
One little "ouch" moment protects you from some major health problems. For example, older teens and adults who get diseases like mumps may be at risk for side effects of the illness, such as infertility (the inability to have children).
Vaccinations are about protecting you in future, not just as a kid. Many of the diseases that we are vaccinated against when we're kids — like hepatitis B or tetanus — actually affect more adults than kids. Plus, anyone can get "kid diseases" like chickenpox, and they can be far more dangerous to teens and adults than they are to little kids.
Shots could even save your life. Hepatitis B attacks the liver and can eventually kill. The new HPV vaccine can protect girls from a type of cancer. And scientists are constantly working on new vaccines against deadly diseases like HIV.
So which vaccines should you be getting? Doctors now recommend that all teens should have received a full course of vaccination against the following diseases:
Ideally, people should be fully vaccinated against these diseases by the age of 11 or 12. But because new vaccines come on the market all the time and doctors' recommendations change, there's a chance some people may have missed getting at least one of these. For example, the HPV vaccine was only approved in 2006. At first, it was recommended just for girls. But in 2009 it was approved for preventing genital warts in boys.
The good news is you can still get a shot if you've missed it. And if you've missed some shots in a series of vaccines, you don't need to get the whole series again — you can simply pick up where you left off.
Some people may need more vaccines than the ones listed above. For example, people with diseases that affect their immune system (like diabetes, HIV infection, or cancer) should get a pneumococcal vaccine. People who travel abroad may need to get special immunizations, depending on which country they'll be in. (Since vaccines can take a while to start working, ask your doctor well in advance which immunizations you'll need.)
Ask a parent to contact your pediatrician or family doctor so he or she can check your health records.
If you've already had a disease like chickenpox, you won't need the vaccine. And if it turns out you missed one or more of the required immunizations, you can still get them from your doctor — it's never too late. After getting a vaccination, it generally takes 10 days to 2 weeks for the body to build up immunity to a disease.
Once you have a certificate from your doctor that you've had all your shots, keep it filed away so you can find it easily later. If you plan to go to college, you will need to show proof that you've had a condition or been immunized. Some jobs also require proof of immunization — for example, if you are working or volunteering in a hospital.
Since some teens may have missed getting certain shots, this is one of those times when you need to take charge of your health: Bring up the subject of immunization when you see your doctor and ask if you've had all the recommended vaccinations (not easy, we know — but necessary!).
Like any medicine, vaccines may cause side effects, but receiving one is far safer than getting the disease it prevents. The most common reactions include soreness, redness, and swelling in the area of the shot or a low-grade fever. Usually acetaminophen or ibuprofen will take care of these side effects.
It's rare to have any kind of bad reaction to a vaccine. If you've had reactions to vaccines in the past, let your doctor know. Before getting a vaccine, discuss any concerns that you have about it with your doctor.
People who have a weakened immune system (from AIDS or certain cancers, for example) need to talk to their doctors before getting shots. This is also true for those who receive treatments like chemotherapy or who take medication that can weaken the immune system. Girls who are pregnant should talk to a doctor or health clinic before getting any shots.
People with certain allergies may not be able to get some vaccines. For example, the flu vaccine is developed using chicken eggs, and this can cause a reaction in someone who's allergic to eggs. People who have severe allergies to gelatin or the antibiotic neomycin should be careful with the MMR and varicella vaccines. And if you're extremely allergic to baker's yeast, which is used to make bread, you should not get a hepatitis B vaccine. If you have allergies, talk to your doctor to see if any vaccine should be avoided.
We usually think of vaccines as shots, but not all vaccines are given that way. Some are given orally (by mouth) or in other forms like nasal sprays.
But it's impossible to escape the fact that some immunizations are just best given as shots. And it's completely normal to feel nervous about them. If you're one of the many people who dread shots, you can try a few techniques to make shots easier, like taking calming breaths and even coughing as the needle goes in.
The good news is that the shot itself only lasts for a second, but you'll be protected for a long, long time after that!

Live Trace in Adobe Illustrator is a automated and a quick way to easily convert any bitmap or raster image into vector graphic. A lot of raster images or logos have a white background and most of the time when you live trace, you only need the image with transparent background. So in this tip, I will quickly show how you can easily do away with white background using "Ignore White" command.
Just to show you a example, lets use this Shopping bag image from sxc.hu. Open a new document and place the image, File > Place in Illustrator.
Next press on the Live Trace button on the option bar and click on Tracing option dialog as shown in the image below.
In the dialog box choose the settings that you prefer,(I just choosed Photo High Fidelity for Preset and all other settings to default) now, click the checkbox ON for Ignore White as shown in the image below. Remember to check the Preview button to see the changes.
If checked, the Ignore White checkbox allows users to decide whether Illustrator shall leave/omit the areas that include white transparent and if unchecked they shall be filled in with white.
Click on the Trace button when you're done. And here is your image without the white background. Below I have added a blue gradient n the background, just to show you that now you have your vector shopping bag without the white background.

Tilly Retiring From Ala. Child Advocacy Group
A longtime advocate for Alabama children is retiring.
The board of VOICES for Alabama's Children announced that Linda Tilly will retire as executive director at the end of the year. Tilly has been with the statewide child advocacy organization for more than 17 years.
During Tilly's tenure, she has worked to create the Children First Trust Fund and to provide funding for the All Kids health insurance program. She's also worked on the passage of vehicle safety laws for child passengers and teen drivers. Tilly said it's appropriate for the nonprofit organization to have new leadership with new approaches as it enters its third decade.
The organization is searching for a replacement for Tilly.

Down, down, down we go . . .
Two 65-year-olds looking for Adventure! in Peru
And now we begin our downward climb to the Sacred Valley. 2,000 feet down and maybe 500 feet forward. The Inca builders of this trail didn't have the concept of ''gradual descent.'' Whew, I have never been on a trail like this one before. Between yesterday afternoon and this morning, we have dropped 5,000 feet! And all the while, we gaze down at the ribbon-like Urubamba River below.
The horses have passed us and when we arrive at the river, a hot lunch and a van is waiting for us. After the past days of this level of service, why are we surprised?
Next stop: Ollantaytambo train station and then on to Aguas Calientes where we spend the night at El Mapi Hotel. The shower is most welcome after two days on the trail.

Every donation to Recycling Lives is gratefully received. Below are some examples of how we may spend your donation.
Quick donate:
- £25.00 is the weekly food budget we allocate for each Resident. This includes three meals a day. Before they came to Recycling Lives, many of our Residents didn't know how they were going to pay for their next meal. Residents plan and prepare all their meals together, improving their life skills in preparation for Independent Living.
- £77.50 covers the cost of a new passport. Having a passport gives a Resident an identity. With a registered address at the Recycling Lives Centre and an identity, Residents can open a bank account, and enhance their chances of finding a job.
- £250.00 will pay for the cost of a Resident to gain an official qualification as a fork lift truck operator. This type of skill is not only useful but quite an emotional learning experience for many Residents, as it is engaging and frequently the very first qualification they have ever achieved.
- £250.00 more and the Resident gains an official First Aid qualification. Having the knowledge to care for others and the ability to competently help someone in need of medical assistance is a significant boost to their self-esteem and personal development.
- £3.50 will cover the cost of a day's return transport to a voluntary work placement for a Resident. This work placement builds self-esteem, skills and hope for a future. It is a vital part of a Residents journey to financial independence and living in their own home.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I'm not sure. She owes $58,000 and said it was appraised for the asking price, if that helps. I do plan to get an inspector. I guess I would have to pay for that right?
Have you seen the appraisal? If not, ask for a copy.
What county are you in?
Okay I will. Once it's confirmed then what?
Then get an appraisal - to make sure of what your getting. I would get the appraisal before I signed the lease option.
This property and the owner are probably on the up and up. However, I have seen to many of these that the owner gives a "deal" to the tenant/buyer knowing that they not inspect the property - selling them real problems - that they can't possibly afford to correct.
After the inspection comes in and you get a copy of the appraisal - that everything looks good.
Are you sure that you can qualify for a loan to pay the balance in 3 years?
You need to know then what potentially is wrong with the place - that's usual "as is" which makes me pause.
You also need to be able to get an extension of time in case you don't qualify in 3 years - like another 3 years. After 6 years - you should be able to qualify and have enough equity.
After those couple of things - I think you'll be alright. But you need to know and have the property inspected.
I would also ask that she sign a disclosure statement - that's just in case there's something that she knows and isn't informing you of. You can pick up a disclosure statement at a real estate office.
One more question. Hypothetically speaking, if all clears in my favor, should I still consider negotiating a lower price on the house and if so, is taking $10,000 off pushing it?
What county is this in? Do you know if your county has a property tax assessment website?
Yes, Philadelphia has a property tax assessment website that you can review. You can review what comparables they used, the assessed value of the property, and their owner's tax payment history.
That's one more thing - you should get a title search performed to make sure there are no surprises.
Okay, I most certainly will!!!

A flood of counterfeit medications into the Nigerian market is causing great concern among the nation's regulatory authorities, according to a British Medical Journal report. Many fakes may contain a small amount of the active ingredient but not enough to make them therapeutically useful. Under-strength antibiotics represent a significant public health problem, as the inadvertent administration of them can lead to bacterial resistance.
Up to 70 percent of pharmaceuticals in Nigeria may be fraudulent. Some are thought to emanate from India, China, Pakistan, Egypt, and Indonesia; others are manufactured locally. The Nigerian National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control plans to inspect factories that export products to Nigeria to ensure they have World Health Organization certification and will send analysts to check drugs before they are shipped.

Baku said to explore with Israel how Azeri air bases, spy drones might help in case of unilateral strike against Tehran's nuclear facilities
Published: 09.30.12, 13:37 / Israel News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
exudes impatience, saying Tehran is barely a year from a "red line" for atomic capacity. Many fellow Israelis, however, fear a unilateral strike, lacking US forces, would fail against such a large and distant enemy.
Related stories:
But what if, even without Washington and Israel were not alone?
It could also have violent side-effects more widely, and many doubt Azeri President Ilham Aliyev
would risk harming the energy industry on which his wealth depends, or provoking Islamists who dream of toppling his dynasty, in pursuit of favor from Israel.
Yet despite official denials by Azerbaijan and Israel, two Azeri former military officers with links to serving personnel and two Russian intelligence sources all told Reuters that Azerbaijan and Israel have been looking at how Azeri bases and intelligence could serve in a possible strike on Iran.

Retention & Academic Success > Major Exploration Academic Advising > Resources for Students > Academic Resources
Academic Information
Students will often ask "What requirements do I need to fulfill?" when they are thinking about classes for the following semester. To answer that question one needs to understand how the colleges are structured here at Saint Louis University and the various requirements.
There are seven schools at SLU that students can graduate from. They are:
Each of these schools/colleges has their own set of requirements for degree completion. While there is some overlap between the colleges/schools, SLU does not have a common core that all students must universally follow. This is just one of the reasons students need to be active explorers. By looking at the various colleges, programs, and majors students are interested in they can have a better understanding of what each program entails and what might be a good fit for them. The Undergraduate Catalog is the comprehensive location of all programs and program requirements.
Academic Program Contacts
There are many friendly people at the University who are interested in guiding you through your exploration process. You can access our "Friendly Faculty Contact List" for names and contact information for various academic programs and our information interview guide that covers etiquette for networking with program contacts, tips for making the most of your experience, and a list of sample questions to ask.
Academic Success Resources
SLU offers a variety of academic resources and services aimed at helping students succeed in and outside of the classroom. Below are links to some of these helpful resources.
Through the office of Academic Support students can utilize Writing Services, Tutoring, and learn about SI sessions.
For students who are interested in calculating their GPA, whether it is to get an idea about what their semester grades will be or if it is to see what kind of grades they need to earn in order to achieve a certain GPA, the GPA calculator can help you run the numbers. In order to remain in good academic standing at SLU, your cumulative GPA must be equal to or greater than 2.0. Be aware that some degree programs require a higher GPA to remain in good standing within the specific program.
Finally, by visiting the Online Study Skills Workshops & Resources page, students can read about a variety of ways in which they can grow to be more successful in their academic careers. Some topics include how to take better notes, dealing with test anxiety, and goal setting.

Favorite Ham Fried Rice Recipe
My husband and I lived in Japan for a few years and came to love that country's ethnic dishes. This dish captures the Asian flavor better than any other recipes I've tried.
- 4-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 cups cooked long grain rice
- 1-1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham (3/4-inch cubes)
- 3/4 cup frozen peas
- 3/4 cup frozen corn
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2-1/4 teaspoon of oil. Pour eggs into skillet. As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. Remove eggs to a plate; set aside.
- 2. In the same skillet, saute onion and celery in remaining oil until crisp-tender. Reduce heat. Add rice and ham; heat through. Stir in peas and corn; heat through.
- 3. Meanwhile, chop egg into small pieces; gently fold into rice mixture. Drizzle with soy sauce. Yield: 5 servings.

Read More Industry News >
Louis Bacon's Moore Capital Management has agreed to pay $48.4 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that the hedge fund firm manipulated platinum and palladium prices.
Reuters reported that the settlement was reached Wednesday before Judge William Pauley III of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
According to an earlier eVestment report, the hedge fund was fined $25 million after the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission accused a former Moore Capital portfolio manager of engaging in a practice called "banging the close" from November 2007 through May 2008, meaning he built up a substantial position toward the end of the trading day and then offset it. Moore Capital was also restricted from trading in the futures and options within 15 minutes of and during the closing period for platinum and palladium
New York-based Moore Capital manages about $12 billion in assets.

Please supply the correct answer.
Not every pregnancy goes as hoped. In these unfortunate situations, a mother may learn that her developing fetus has a congenital disease which could have lifelong consequences for the baby and the family. The logical questions that arise are:
• Why did this happen? • Can anything be done to treat this condition? • Will my child have a normal life?
The mission of the Center for Fetal Cellular and Molecular Therapy (CFCMT) is to provide the answers to these questions through collaborative research programs. Fortunately, many diseases and fetal abnormalities can now be prenatally diagnosed through genetic testing and imaging techniques. This early diagnosis provides clues to the origin of these diseases and how they might develop. Furthermore, once the diagnosis is made, the potential exists to begin treatment during the pregnancy and in some instances establish a cure before birth.

As if the last month or so hasn't already been rough enough for Lance Armstrong–he may be looking into getting a new cell phone number after accidentally posting it on the popular social media site Twitter.
The photo above shows Armstrong's Tweet and if I had to guess off the top of my head, I would guess he meant to send this as a direct message to someone instead of making it public to his 3.7 million followers–which I'm sure was followed by numerous calls from followers all across the country. What's even worse, the message has been on his Twitter account for 14 minutes after this article was written–which means Armstrong clearly didn't realize right away.
Not only did the former seven-time Tour de France champion lose his records in cycling due to doping allegations, but he was recently denied an entry to the Chicago Marathon because of everything that's been happening in his life. On top of all this, Armstrong recently had to deal with the news that his former fling Sheryl Crowe was responsible for sharing information to the USADA after she was investigated back in 2011 over his doping allegations.
Whether you're a fan of Armstrong or not–you can't help but laugh about this minor incident. It's a shame that Armstrong will most likely get a new phone number after all of this, but it's difficult not to wonder how many phone calls he received over the first hour after this message was posted on Twitter.

Products > Weaving Looms > Rigid Heddle Looms
Rigid Heddle looms are easy to use even for beginning weavers. You can warp (set-up )these easy to use looms in an hour or so and start weaving your first project. Rigid Heddle Looms come in a wide range of sizes and brands, but all weaving is the same no matter what model you choose. Check out the Ashford Knitters loom, Ashford Sampleit loom, Kromski Harp Rigid Heddle loom, or the Schacht Cricket loom. More information below.
Rigid Heddle looms are perfect for beginners weavers. They are simple, easy to weave on and fast to warp and compact enough so you can weave anywhere! So if you are thinking about learning to weave, a rigid heddle loom is a great place to start.
Want to take your rigid heddle weaving even further? Add a stand or a second heddle kit for your loom and you can weave even more patterns! With a floor stand you will be able to use your rigid heddle loom anywhere you like. Happy Weaving!
They say one thing leads to another and so my growing hand spun yarn stash demanded that I learn how to weave. NOW!
My first thought was to start with a table loom: four harness, lots of pattern possibilities but not the big price tag of a floor loom.
So I bought a table loom. Big mistake! I had never woven before, and was not able to take a class. Warping seemed horrendous, and my woven items resembled rags more than scarves I was intend of producing. I just gave up, was definitely done with weaving and sold my loom.
After a few month, and me whining about "why can't I weave" and "I want to weave, stupid loom etc.", I finally gave weaving another shot and bought an Ashford rigid heddle loom. That was the beginning of my love affair with weaving. The warping (set-up) was so easy, my warp tension was better, threading the loom made more sense, everything was just simpler. So I wove my first scarf, than a pillow and soon one piece after another followed, crooked salvages (edges) getting a better bit by bit, and finally pretty good so that they earned the name "selvedge". I wove placemats, runners, throws, scarfs, pillows on my rigid heddle loom and I was so hooked.
And I wanted more. My next loom was a Leclerc four harness Artisat floor loom, and what do you think happened? My weaving was so much better than on the table loom before, since I have had "basic training" on my rigid heddle. Already knowing the basics and learning new things one project at a time, I was just thrilled. I dearly loved this loom and converted an attic space complete with slanted wall (watch out where you stand) and no heating into my "studio".
Time passed and again I wanted more. Even though my current loom was great I found myself drooling over amazing 8 harness projects in various weaving magazines with a whole hearted "darn, I wish I had more harnesses".
Weaving bliss came to me finally in form of my Louet countermarch loom. My lovely twelve (Cowabunga!!) harness Louet Spring, I will have to name you one day. This countermarch loom is so easy to treadle, even with all the harnesses and the built in raddle and back to front warping makes my warps almost perfect.
Bottom line: Weaving is a journey and just as a journey progresses so will your skills as a weaver. All aboard yarn lovers and wannabe weavers, first stop: rigid heddle looms!
Weave on in Happiness and Health, Bridget :-)

On Health
You put in a full day of work at the office or at home, eat dinner, put your feet up, and have a glass or two to unwind. OK, if you really think about it, maybe you also had a glass worth of sips while cooking your meal.
What could be wrong with that?
Aside from the fact that the number of calories in two five-ounce glasses of red wine is equivalent to those in a single Snickers bar, if you've had two drinks, you are already drinking more than you should … for a woman. I'll be the first to have my feathers ruffled when someone tells me I can't do what the guys do, but in the case of alcohol use, it really is true.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal

Most Read Stories
Moderate drinking is defined as one alcoholic drink (12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liquor) a day for women and two for men. Why the difference? Women metabolize alcohol differently and are generally smaller than men, so they feel the effects faster.
Many women I see in my clinic for the first time are not even aware that they engage in binge drinking, which is consuming four or more alcoholic drinks in a two- to three-hour period. Often done in the company of friends, drinking like this from time to time may seem harmless, but it increases the likelihood of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, getting pregnant, or getting into an accident due to intoxication. Blacking out and not remembering what happened between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.? That's a dangerous predicament.
Young adults are not the only ones engaging in binge drinking. According to the Centers for Disease Control, this behavior is also more likely in women with household incomes of $75,000 or more.
Hard liquor and beer have taken the heat for bad behavior and adverse health consequences. But wine is not necessarily innocuous. And with excessive drinking portrayed on reality TV shows and the U.S. leading the world in wine consumption, this drink is not to be overlooked.
Drinking heavily on a regular basis can cause liver damage (cirrhosis) and cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. But even light drinking has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, according to a recent publication in the Annals of Oncology. In fact, your doctor may recommend avoiding alcohol altogether if you have a strong family history of breast cancer.
There are other, lesser known effects of alcohol worth mentioning. Alcohol can raise your body temperature, causing (or worsening) hot flashes. Irritability, mood changes and depression can be worsened or caused by alcohol use, as well. And if you've ever found yourself waking up every night around 2 a.m., your evening drink could be the culprit. Alcohol prevents you from getting into the deeper stages of sleep, so you are more likely to wake up in the middle of the night, even though you feel sleepier initially.
In short, put your feet up, have a drink and relax. But try to keep it to just one. Cheers to good health.

Oklahoma football: Sooners, Kansas State might end up as Big 12 'co-champions'
NORMAN — When Bob Stoops thought he might have to share last year's Big 12 championship with teams he'd beaten head-to-head, the Oklahoma coach scoffed.
"If you're playing each other, it's pretty simple," Stoops said before the 2011 regular-season finale at Oklahoma State.
Kansas State and Oklahoma sit tied atop this year's Big 12 standings entering the last week of the regular season. The Sooners play at TCU on Saturday at 11 a.m., and the Wildcats host Texas that evening.
If both teams finish with the same conference record, the Wildcats will share the 2012 Big 12 title with "co-champion" Oklahoma, a squad KSU beat head-to-head Sept. 22 in Norman. Kansas State would earn the Big 12's automatic Fiesta Bowl berth, but each school would receive its very own Big 12 championship trophy.
So, with the shoe on the other foot, will Stoops remain adamantly opposed to co-championships? That remains to be seen.
Shared championships aren't uncommon; Oklahoma claims 12 conference titles from the Barry Switzer era, but four of them were shared.
Officially, Stoops' Sooners "shared" Big 12 South division titles in 2008 and 2010, but emerged from tiebreakers to play in both seasons' conference championship games.
In 2008, OU emerged from a three-way tie with Texas and Texas Tech because of the BCS Standings.
When the Longhorns listed "2008" on its training facility wall with their other division titles, Texas was widely mocked.
In 2010, Oklahoma State ordered its players Big 12 South championship rings, despite losing Bedlam and not playing in the conference title game.
A few months later, Stoops quipped, "You see we got another (Big 12) championship banner up?
"It's not a South Division one, either."
Beginning with last season, the Big 12 moved to a 10-team, round-robin schedule with no divisions; because of the new format, the conference's preseason marketing campaign centered around the idea of "one true champion."
But had Oklahoma defeated the Cowboys last December, the Bedlam rivals and Kansas State would've all finished tied atop the Big 12 standings.
OU's head-to-head victories over OSU and K-State would've given it the Fiesta Bowl berth, but the 2011 Big 12 title would've officially been shared between three "co-champions."
"(The Big 12) can do what they want," Stoops said days before his team's 44-10 loss to Oklahoma State, which claimed the outright conference title.
"Did you ask them what happened to their whole promotion of the 'one true champion?' You should have. That's all I heard for two days on the whole Big 12 coaches media circuit down there.
"I kind of took offense to it because we won seven of them. I thought they were all true ones. I thought they were changing it that this was going to be the one true one, and I guess they reneged on that. That doesn't make much sense to me. I'll let them explain it."
Saturday, if one team — Oklahoma or Kansas State — wins and the other loses, the Big 12 will get another outright champion.
But there remains the very strong possibility that the Sooners and Wildcats end up as "co-champions."
Stoops didn't like it when he thought OU might have to share conference supremacy with teams it beat; he shouldn't feel right, then, lofting a banner for a title "shared" with a squad his Sooners couldn't conquer at home.

Sun Dec 12 19:32:53 EST 2010, Toronto, Canada
Customs cleared me into Canada the morning after I arrived, and then Martin and Magdalene came aboard for the sail to the marina I'd arranged a berth in (Bluffers Park Marina).
It was a nice, pleasant, relatively warm (ie, above freezing) day with a light tailwind. We motored out of the harbor, then had a nice sail to near the marina, doused the sails, raised the keel most of the way and motored into the marina.
My assigned dock in the marina was a long way from the entrance, so after entering the marina, we had about 300m off thin ice to plow through. This was no problem, the ice only being about 1/2" (1.3cm) thick. In the picture, the boat is reversing towards the dock, and you can just see the ice that it has broken.
Someone once told me it is never too cold to sail :).
Sat Dec 11 17:52:23 EST 2010, Lake Ontario
After dawn, things got easier, as they often seem to with daylight. Several of the ropes thawed out and became easier to work with. The wind steadily increased to a Force 5 as we approached Toronto. The waves washed the salt (that I'd earlier spread on the deck to melt the snow) off the deck (but were not high enough to wash the salt off the pilothouse roof).
Dropping the sails and motoring into Toronto harbor was straightforward. A cheerful harbor police officer asked me if I'd really come from Whitehorse (now that I'm in Canada, everyone knows where Whitehorse is (far north and inland, on a big river in the Yukon Territory), where I once lived and where the boat is registered. While preparing docklines, a boat which saw me singlehanding came out and offered to help with the docking. It is always nice to have help when docking.
Fri Dec 10 10:00:00 EST 2010, Lake Ontario, New York
Dawn along the southern shore of Lake Ontario.
After several days of shovelling snow while waiting for a favorable wind, the forecast indicated the break in the weather I needed was coming. The wind would not be favorable for long, so I left at night, just after the strong headwind died down, before it was to pick up from the south.
I motored out of Rochester harbor, then anchored immediately outside the harbor to fix some engine problems. After a couple of hours, I was underway again, motoring with some sails up.
The temperature was staying below freezing all night, but forecast to steadily rise as I went west along the shore as the southerly wind picked up. I had put salt over the deck to help melt the snow and ice that was on it. The salt helped, but the deck was still slippery in many places. I normally am attached to the boat at all times at sea via a safety harness that connects to a rope (jackline) that runs along the deck on each side of the boat. The trouble with this system in cold weather is that the rope running along the deck froze into the deck, and couldn't be used.
While I've done a fair amount of daysailing in winter with other boats, this was the first time I had gone sailing in below freezing conditions with Issuma. It was a learning experience. The rope clutches (which hold the ropes after you tighten them with a winch, so one winch can be used for multiple ropes) don't really work with frozen ropes, as the rope diameter gets bigger, so it jams when trying to get it through the rope clutch. This could somewhat be worked around by using smaller ropes than what the rope clutch is designed for, but that means that in non-freezing conditions, the rope clutch will not hold as well (because the rope is too small for it). I hadn't realilzed that when I installed the rope clutches.
Tue Dec 7 18:32:55 EST 2010, Rochester, NY
In Rochester, Shumway Marine had a big enough (40 ton) travelift so they helpfully hauled Issuma out and fixed the problematic thruhull, and welded over (closed permanently) three other thruhulls, so they could not cause problems over the winter (when the boat may be frozen in) and replaced some zinc anodes and we painted the bottom of the boat.
After launching, in a mad rush to finish up enough of the rigging work to be able to leave on the fair wind that I had for only a short period of time, I left in mid-afternoon. I was still rigging lines at sea, before I could set all sails. Days are short in December, and the Coast Guard stopped me for a safety inspection, which took up more of the daylight time that I had to finish things underway. In the evening, with much still to be done, I turned back and returned to Rochester to await better weather.
Better weather was forecast only after a week of strong headwinds and snow. I've been shoveling the snow twice daily for several days now--more keeps coming. Forecast is for the headwinds to die down, then become favorable late Thursday, so I have a little longer to continue getting ready to sail.
Take care.
Tue Dec 7 18:18:28 EST 2010, Sodus Point, NY
The masts went up in the morning and early afternoon, then I moved to a slip in the marina for the gale that was coming that night. I was busy attaching the rigging wires (the new ones were cut to fit after the masts were in place) until dark. I spent a few more days in Sodus Point, working on tuning the rigging and reconnecting electrical wires, and starting to get sails attached.
I needed to haul the boat out to fix a thruhull problem, and the marina in Sodus Point was closing the entire week for Thanksgiving, so when I had a light, favorable wind, I motored (and had one sail up--the rest weren't ready yet) to Rochester.

We have no shortage of snow in Rochester, NY, and more is still falling. Snow adds to the challenges of sailing, if not so much to the enjoyment of it :)

After an uneventful motor from Oswego, I anchored in Great Sodus Bay for the night, then tied up at Katlynn marina to get the masts stepped. They have a 70 ton crane here, so there were no concerns about handling the masts. Here, the slings are being attached.
Fri Dec 3 19:12:40 EST 2010, Oswego, NY
I intended to get the masts stepped (put up) at the marina in Oswego, however, after they looked at Issuma's masts, they figured they were too heavy for their crane, and recommended I go 30 miles west to Great Sodus Bay, where they have a 70ton crane.
So I motored out of Oswego Harbor at first light. I haven't quite gotten used to having the masts down, and wanted to avoid waves as much as possible (so nothing on deck could roll loose), so I left early, while the wind was still light. The picture shows the lighthouse at Oswego.
Thu Dec 2 0:00:00 EST 2010, Oswego, NY
The last three locks of the Oswego Canal are in Oswego. In the picture, Issuma is on the extreme left, under a bridge on the canal, and the Oswego River is on the right.
Issuma stayed in the canal for about a week between the last two locks, to work on getting the rigging ready for the masts to be put back up. Maggie's vacation ended, so she went back to her job, and I finished the preparation work on the rigging.
Issuma left the Oswego Canal on November 14, the day before the canal system closed for the season. Issuma was the last boat to go north on the canal this year.
There is no definitive answer on how often one needs to replace the rigging wires. It depends on things like what type of wires were used, how hard the boat has sailed, how much time was spent in the tropics (wires corrode faster there), ow flexible the rig and hull are.
I've been working on replacing the rigging wires for a year, and am now almost finished.

Index of Memorial Resolutions and Biographical Sketches
View in portable document format.
Edwin Turner Bowden, Jr., professor emeritus of English, died May 27, 2006. Ed, as he was known to friends and family, joined The University of Texas English Department in 1956 and retired in 1994. After receiving his B.A. from Harvard University in 1948, Ed was honored with a Fulbright Fellowship at Cambridge University, where he studied with F.R. Leavis. In 1952 he received his Ph.D. from Yale University, where he taught from 1952-56, before being recruited to Texas by Harry Ransom.
Ed was born on June 5, 1924, and belonged to the 'great generation' that fought to protect and secure our freedoms in World War II. Ed served in the U.S. Army Air Force from 1943-46. At the memorial service held for him on May 31, 2006, his casket was appropriately draped with the American flag.
The focus of Ed's scholarship and teaching was American literature, especially of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His first book, The Themes of Henry James (Yale University Press, 1956), addressed the question of the visual arts in James's fiction. Arguing that the visual arts "provide a link between biography and literary criticism" and "a means of interpretation of the novels themselves," Ed devotes special attention to the later novels: The Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl. "These final novels . . . provide the natural summary of James' development and presentation of theme, and by implication the development of his own esthetic consciousness." In his next book, The Dungeon of the Heart (Macmillan Co., 1961), Ed turned to the problem of human isolation in American fiction. Considering the whole range of American fiction from James Fenimore Cooper to J.D. Salinger, Ed suggests the different ways in which American novelists represent the perennial "problems of individualism and conformity." The special merit of this book is its willingness to engage a topic of real interest to most Americans and to address this general audience in a way that is respectful as well as clear, insightful, and interesting.
To help make more American literature available to general readers, Ed next turned his attention to writers whose work had either gone out of print or was available only in hard-to-find editions. In 1962, he thus published The Satiric Poems of John Trumbull (University of Texas Press, 1962), making available to many readers (the Perry-Castaneda Library at UT has nine copies of this volume on its shelves) the adventures of Tom Brainless, Dick Hairbrain, and Miss Harriet Simper. That Ed's literary interests should extend beyond fiction to poetry in the tradition of Pope suggests his intellectual and aesthetic breadth. This breadth is also evident in Ed's later bibliographical work on James Thurber, Peter DeVries, and (especially) Washington Irving. A long labor of love, his Washington Irving Bibliography (Twayne, 1989) appeared as volume thirty in The Complete Works of Washington Irving, for which Ed was the textual editor.
While dedicating himself to American literary scholarship, Ed also facilitated the scholarship of others in a variety of ways. Throughout his career, he was active in working with the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (HRC) on exhibits and publications. In 1960, for example, he organized an exhibit titled 'Familiar Books: A Bibliographical Exhibit for the Undergraduate,' aimed at bringing students to the HRC and acquainting them with its collections. Ed also had a long association with the English department's flagship journal Texas Studies in Literature and Language. After years of various editorial service to this journal, he was appointed its editor in 1975-76 and later as co-editor with William J. Scheick from 1977-1986. Professor Scheick observed that Ed was extraordinarily conscientious as an editor, sometimes even writing detailed reports to the authors of manuscript submissions. Ed was elected chair of the department's Graduate Studies Committee in 1974, and, in addition, served several terms on the Graduate Programs Committee, influencing in important ways the direction of graduate education in English for the benefit of our graduate students.
The range of his professional accomplishments and abilities served Ed well as mentor to younger faculty and as advisor to students. In the classroom, his approach to teaching American literature was typically interdisciplinary, as he always encouraged students to reach beyond the literary to the larger culture. Ed's teaching covered the full spectrum of English department courses, from freshman English to graduate seminars, and he was highly esteemed by his students, especially so in the upper-division American literature courses for English majors. In the words of one student in E338 (American Literature from 1865 to the Present): "Professor Bowden is awesome."
In his later years, Ed developed a range of interests beyond the classroom and library. He discovered recycling long before it became popular, collecting stray soft-drink cans left on campus so that they wouldn't simply go into the landfill. He was a conservationist in other ways as well, eventually developing an informed amateur's interest in the fossils of Central Texas, and in retirement, even becoming secretary of the Austin Paleontological Society. Conservation went together with a social conscience, evidenced by his work as a volunteer at El Buen Pastor Food Pantry. As a scholar, teacher, colleague, mentor, and friend, Ed Bowden made a valuable and enduring contribution to the English department and the larger community of which it is a part. For this legacy, the English department will always be grateful, counting Edwin T. Bowden as one of its most distinguished members.

Former Blue Mtn., Penn State center Stankiewitch re-signed by Patriots
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Matt Stankiewitch is a New England Patriot again.
The former Blue Mountain and Penn State standout was re-signed by the NFL team Saturday, 11 days after the Patriots released the 6-foot-4, 305-pounder.
Stankiewitch suffered a hamstring injury during a team conditioning test July 21 and was placed on the physically unable to perform list July 23. He was released a day later.
The 23-year-old came back to Schuylkill County to undergo physical therapy with Dr. David Novatnak of Doctor's Choice on Mount Hope Avenue in Pottsville.
Stankiewitch returned to New England this weekend to be evaluated by team doctors, and was re-signed Saturday.
"I came back up to New England today and the Patriots re-signed me. I'm here," Stankiewitch said by phone Saturday evening. "Everything that I hoped would happen came true."
Stankiewitch was signed as an undrafted rookie by the Patriots on May 3 and had attended rookie camp and organized team activities with the team in Foxborough in May and June.
The former All-Big Ten center and Rimington Award finalist entered training camp as a longshot to make the New England roster as the Patriots return their entire starting offensive line from last year. Team websites and bloggers who cover the Patriots, however, said Stankiewitch was a strong candidate to make the team's practice squad.
The team had 15 offensive lineman on its roster as of Saturday night, not including Stankiewitch.
When Stankiewitch was released by the Patriots, the team told him they wanted him back when he was healthy. The Patriots honored their word.
"The Patriots still want me. They told me that to my face," Stankiewitch said after being released. "The coaches told me when I was released that they want me back.
"The Patriots said they want me back. (Offensive line) Coach (Dante) Scarnecchia wants me there. And I'm going to do my best to get back."
Now that he's back, Stankiewitch will join the Patriots as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The Patriots will not have practice today. The team will return to the practice field at 10 a.m. Monday for what will likely be a walk through before New England gets on a plane that afternoon to head to Philadelphia for a couple days of joint practices with the Eagles prior to Friday night's preseason opener.
Stankiewitch is hoping to see some action in Friday's preseason game, especially because of its proximity to Schuylkill County and all of his friends and family.
"Not everything is guaranteed in the NFL, but I plan on being in Philly on Friday," Stankiewitch said. "As soon as we start back up, I be a part of team practices."

Anyone ever had this Belgian beer? In Belgium you drink it out of this funky looking glass that sits in a wooden holder kinda like a 'yard of beer'. I bought a little pack with 4 beers and the glass/wood thing at the tax-free airport store. I'm always freaked out by the wood thing thinking the glass is going to slide out, so I just threw it is a plain old Leffe glass and it tastes pretty much the same. What is that darn special glass for?
Good stuff!

#760 new defect
traceback creation slows down exception propagation considerably
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
From cython-devel:
I did some callgrind profiling on Cython's generators and was surprised to find that AddTraceback() represents a serious performance penalty for short running generators.
I profiled a compiled Python implementation of itertools.groupby(), which yields (key, group) tuples where the group is an iterator again. I ran this code in Python for benchmarking:
L = sorted(range(1000)*5) all(list(g) for k,g in cython_groupby(L))
Groups tend to be rather short in real code, often just one or a couple of items, so unpacking the group iterator into a list will usually be a quick loop and then the generator raises StopIteration on termination and builds a traceback for it. According to callgrind, the iteration during the group unpacking takes about 30% of the overall runtime of the all() loop, and the AddTraceback() call at the end of each group traversal takes up to 25% (!) on my side. That means that more than 80% of the group unpacking time goes into raising StopIteration from the generators.
About half of the exception raising time is eaten by PyString_FromFormat() that builds the function-name + line-position string (which, I may note, is basically a convenience feature). This string is a constant for a generator's StopIteration exception, at least for each final return point in a generator, but here it is being recreated over and over again, for each exception that gets raised.
Even if we keep creating a new frame instance each time (which should be ok because CPython has a frame instance cache already and we'd only create one during the generator lifetime), the whole code object could actually be cached after the first creation, preferably bound to the lifetime of the generator creator function/method. Or, more generally, one code object per generator termination point, which will be a single point in the majority of cases. For the specific code above, that should shave off almost 20% of the overall runtime of the all() loop.
Change History (1)
comment:1 Changed 4 years ago by scoder
- Summary changed from traceback creation slows down generators considerably to traceback creation slows down exception propagation considerably
This is a more general problem, not only for generators. Exception propagation could be substantially faster if code objects were cached.

A Greenwood grandmother waited in line at a food pantry for the first time to get groceries for her family.
Tina Herwehe hasn't been able to work since she injured her back and neck in a March car accident. And her husband's warehouse job isn't covering the rent and utility bills for their home, where they live with their 4-year-old granddaughter, she said.
Interchurch Food Pantry of Franklin gave Herwehe about $75 worth of groceries, which will free up money for other expenses, such as gas for her husband's commute to work, she said.
Across the county, food pantries have seen a steady level of need for food each month. Interchurch Food Pantry, which gave food to more than 33,000 last year, has seen its numbers remain about the same. But other food pantries, including The Refuge and His Hand Extended in Greenwood, are set to significantly increase over the number of people served last year, according to pantry officials.
Food pantry clients talk about financial difficulties due to being unemployed, having to work low-paying jobs and not getting medical benefits through their jobs, said Kerry Jones, community impact coordinator for The Refuge.
The Refuge gave groceries to 8,017 residents of Johnson County and the southside in 2012 and already has provided food to 6,925 residents through June of this year.
Unemployment rates have lowered in recent years, and experts have said that the economy is recovering after the recession. But those numbers don't seem to apply to central Indiana, based on what she sees each week, Jones said.
"A lot of feedback that we're getting is that a lot of people are laid off or their hours have been cut," she said. "Our personal opinion is that there are a lot more people who are hurting than statistics are showing."
Other food pantries in the county also have seen steady growth in the number of residents they serve.
The food pantry at Our Lady of the Greenwood Catholic Church gave groceries to 2,715 families in 2012 and already has served 1,573 families during the first six months of 2013.
"We evidently have a lot of people that are having a tough time making it," coordinator David Fyffe said.
The Lord's Locker food pantry in Trafalgar gave food to 4,531 people during the first six months of 2013, a nearly 18 percent increase from the same period in 2012.
Pantry workers are often seeing families who used to live on two incomes who are struggling to support themselves and their children because one parent lost a job, executive director Emmalea Butler said.
"We're seeing more people now that are working, but there are cutbacks on pay," Butler said.
In the summer, families often come to the pantry because their children are home from school, and they need to provide the daily meals that the schools give them during the school year, she said.
Danielle Heagy, 25, of Franklin, visits the Interchurch pantry and another in the county as needed for her family. Heagy is a stay-at-home mother of two small children.
This spring, rain frequently prevented her husband from doing his landscaping work. In the winter, if there isn't snow to clear, then he also is without work, she said.
Her family relies on food pantries for the times when her husband hasn't worked in a while, they're running low on food and starting to live off peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, she said.
She is more likely to go to a food pantry at the end of a month if they have run out of money and cannot afford meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, she said. Cheap food tends to be unhealthy, and she often buys more expensive grocery items, like almond milk, because her daughter is allergic to dairy products, Heagy said.

Igniting intolerance
Israel | Ultra-Orthodox put a torch to Messianic Jewish activities
In some ways, Rebekah Frei's life is similar to that of many other single moms. She drives her 5-year-old daughter to and from school, manages household duties, works hard to make ends meet, and has little time left for sleep. But Ms. Frei's life in Arad, Israel, is far from typical. The almost daily harassment from ultra-Orthodox Jews in her Negev desert town requires Ms. Frei to continually duck in and out of restaurants and the "rescue cars" of other Messianic Jews.
"They corner us in the street-yelling, cursing, and threatening. They stalk us, photograph us, and try to intimidate us all the time," Ms. Frei told WORLD.
Ms. Frei and her daughter, Michelle, are among the 15 Messianic Jewish families in Arad being targeted by the Hassedei Gur, or Haredim, an ultra-Orthodox sect of Jews determined to expel the believers from Arad. In recent months, the confrontations have turned violent: An August fire all but decimated a center used for outreach, and a September outing turned into a two-hour hostage situation when hundreds of Haredim arrived to protest the trip. The ultra-Orthodox accuse the believers of "missionary activity," and local authorities have done little to curb the harassment.
There are few visible signs of Christians in Arad since believers worship together in homes, but the chess club where Ms. Frei volunteers also serves as an information center for Messianic Jews. Lura and Eddie Beckford opened the chess club a year and a half ago for the many Russian immigrants who love to play chess. They also distribute clothes and food to the poor in Arad and sell Bibles and books.
The Beckfords are now raising money to rebuild the chess club-with security doors and steel bars around the windows this time-since an August fire destroyed much of the building. Charges of arson brought against three Haredim in the wake of the fire were recently dropped, and Mrs. Beckford is concerned about the increasingly hostile incidents: "The attacks are becoming more violent, and the Haredim have promised that we will be taken out of the city in coffins."
The demonstration-turned-hostage ordeal in September was equally frightening. More than 100 Haredim surrounded the group and forced them to retreat into the club. When a carload of people attempted to evacuate the scene, several Haredim jumped on the car while others lay in the street, Mrs. Beckford said. Several believers were slightly injured during the confrontation.
The Haredim accuse the Messianic Jews of actively seeking people to convert: "They tell the passersby that we kidnap children and brainwash them, and we are converting Jews and making them into Gentiles," Mrs. Beckford said.
Although Israeli law says little about sharing religious beliefs with others, conducting underage conversion ceremonies is punishable by law. One Messianic Jewish family in Arad has been careful to follow this law but is targeted nonetheless by the Haredim in a case that has received national attention in Israel. A girl who often socialized with the family began attending their youth activities and was eventually baptized after she turned 18. The Haredim began weekly demonstrations-often with hundreds of people-in front of the family's home shortly after her faith became public over a year ago.
The Israeli High Court weighed in when local authorities-realizing that the confrontations were escalating in hostility-refused to grant the Haredim a permit for a 700-person demonstration in front of the family's home. The Haredim appealed to the Israeli High Court which proposed a compromise-half the number of people once each year. Both sides rejected the proposal and await a final ruling by the Court.
Ms. Frei believes she is a frequent target of their harassment because of her ultra-Orthodox background and journey into the Messianic Jewish faith: "It's a bitter pill for them to swallow . . . knowing that a nice Gur girl is a missionary." She admits the continual confrontations are taxing and worries about the safety of the Messianic Jews in Arad. But recent incidents have opened the eyes of the local police and brought attention to the existence of Messianic Jews in Israel and their faith-a worthy outcome in her eyes.


text: A Mitchell company will demolish the former VFW building, hopefully within the next few weeks. At a special meeting yesterday, the Mitchell City Council accepted the bid from VanderPol Dragline for 131,000 dollars. Six bidders submitted bids for the project. The city previously had only one bidder for the project at a cost of nearly 217,000 dollars. Demolition is expected to start on Monday. It is hoped that the building can be removed before the start of the Corn Palace Festival so that block can be used for rides.
