Young Harris College to Open Basketball Season Nov. 12 with First Fall Homecoming
A tradition will be reborn at Young Harris College this fall as students, alumni and Mountain Lions fans kick off the 2011-2012 basketball season with Homecoming, Friday-Saturday, Nov. 11-12. Centered around the theme "Mountain Lion Pride," the exciting new event will be presented in collaboration with the offices of Student Development and Alumni Services and the Department of Athletics.
Eight student organizations have formed seven teams that will compete to earn the title of first-ever Homecoming Week champions, including Sigma Beta Sigma, Student Government Association (SGA)/Campus Activities Board (CAB), Alpha Iota, Phi Alpha Phi, Circle K, Delta Gamma and Zeta Pi.
Throughout the week, these teams will participate in a variety of challenges and receive points for attendance at events like a trivia game, dance, "spirit sign" contest and lip sync challenge.
"Homecoming is going to be a great time for everyone, and I'm so happy that the students will get to share a whole week of fun social activities. I'm sure that all of the events will also increase team cooperation within our organizations," said Circle K team member Claudia Del Cid, a sophomore business and public policy major from Dalton. "I'm excited about all the different activities throughout the week, especially the lip sync competition. I really enjoyed performing in the annual R.A. lip sync competition during Welcome Week, and I'm glad more students will get to experience that this year."
The Homecoming weekend will kick off with a student-led pep rally and bonfire on Friday night at 8 p.m. at the fire pit located directly across from the College's practice fields and intramural field.
The public is invited to join the festivities on Saturday, Nov. 12, beginning with a Homecoming parade at 10 a.m. that will include a variety of student-created floats as well as local civic leaders and businesses. The parade will begin on Maple Street and progress up toward U.S. Highway 76 where it will turn south. The route will lead back into campus at Duckworth Drive and continue into the interior of campus, past Susan B. Harris Chapel and Sharp Hall, ultimately ending at the Recreation and Fitness Center.
Tailgating festivities and a celebratory pre-game picnic will follow for YHC students and alumni, beginning at 12 p.m. on the lawn in front of Enotah Hall. A special reception for all former YHC basketball players will begin at 1:30 p.m. in the Recreation and Fitness Center.
The women's basketball team will take on Reinhardt University at 2 p.m. in the Recreation and Fitness Center, and the men's basketball team will play Bryan College at 4 p.m.
Homecoming Week champions and spirit sign competition winners will be announced, the Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned, and an Alumni Spirit Challenge will be held during the basketball games.
"I'm extremely excited about all of the Homecoming events, and CAB hopes to make this first Homecoming awesome and fun for everyone who attends," said CAB/SGA team member Tara Shiver, a senior music major from Covington. "My team is extremely excited about the lip sync and float competitions—and we definitely hope to win all of the events and become the first Homecoming Week champions."
Combination tickets for lunch and both games are available to YHC alumni for $20 per adult and $10 for children under 12 through the Office of Alumni Services at (706) 379-5334 or online. Tickets for the games only are available through the Department of Athletics at (706) 379-5296.
Alumni are welcome to park in any available, unreserved spots on campus for the parade, tailgate lunch and basketball games. Recommended lots are the large lot on Maple Street and the Fine Arts Annex across Hwy. 76 from campus.

Young Harris College Students Take Part in First-Year Experience Trip to New Orleans
Twenty-seven Young Harris College students, faculty and staff members recently traveled to New Orleans Oct. 5-9 to take part in a first-year service trip facilitated by the First-Year Experience and Bonner Leaders programs at YHC.
The excursion centered around Dave Eggers' book Zeitoun, which was this year's selection for the College's campus-wide "Ship of Thought: Common Reading Program" for first-year students. Zeitoun tells the story of Abdulrahman Zeitoun, the Syrian-American owner of a painting and contracting company in New Orleans who chose to ride out Hurricane Katrina in his Uptown home.
"One of the main goals of the trip was to expose our students to the issues and themes addressed in this year's Common Reading Program as well as the progress, and lack of progress, that has been made to rebuild the gulf coast six years after Hurricane Katrina," said Bryan Hayse, Ph.D., associate dean of students and First-Year Foundations co-chair. "Every aspect of the trip was designed to help students more fully understand what they have read or seen from the perspective of those who live it daily."
The group stayed in the Lower Ninth Ward Village Community Center and met students and staff from colleges and universities across the United States. Students also enjoyed a meal and fellowship with local Muslim students from Tulane University and the University of New Orleans.
"The whole trip was an amazing experience, but my favorite part was eating dinner and enjoying fellowship at the Muslim student center," said Jordan Wilkes, a sophomore art major from Cleveland, Ga. "Throughout the week, it was inspiring to meet so many people who are devoted to civil justice and live compassionate lives of service."
The group met with representatives from the nonprofit civil rights organization Southern Poverty Law Center and worked with the St. Bernard Project, a non-profit organization that conducts housing rehabilitation and construction for New Orleans residents whose homes were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Students enjoyed dinner at the home of Andre Perry, Ph.D., associate director for educational initiatives for Loyola Institute for Quality and Equity in Education, who presented a lecture at YHC in August about themes discussed in Zeitoun.The group also had the unique opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session with Zeitoun and visit the Al-Rahma Mosque he regularly attends.
Other highlights of the trip included a tour of the Lower Ninth Ward and Tremé neighborhood, a visit to the African American Heritage Museum and volunteer work at a local animal shelter and food bank.
"I've heard people say that one moment can change your life, and I feel that this trip may have been that moment for me. When Katrina came through, New Orleans was torn apart and the people had only their faith and each other," said Ashley Eschbach, a freshman history major from Big Pine Key, Fla. "Getting to know these people and hearing their stories provided me with the chance to really see how much they lost. It makes me feel so grateful for what I have and what I've been given in my life."
Bonner Leader Jordan Utley, a freshman business and public policy major from Madison, spent time volunteering at a local animal shelter.
Jerry Oquendo, a freshman art major from Dade City, Fla., worked to restore a home damaged by Hurricane Katrina as part of the St. Bernard Project.
Students enjoyed a meal and fellowship with local Muslim students from Tulane University and the University of New Orleans.

New Organization Enhances Young Harris College Religious Life Offerings
Ali Neese, senior
Communications and Marketing Intern
Young Harris College recently expanded religious life offerings for students, faculty and staff by welcoming to campus a new organization, the Buddhist Meditation and Mindfulness Gathering. This group aims to provide a welcoming meeting place for committed Buddhists and members of the YHC community interested in religious exploration.
The idea for the club came about when members of the student body, faculty and staff approached Assistant Professor of Religious Studies Eric Dickman, Ph.D., about the possibility of starting a religious life organization founded on Buddhism for those interested in learning more about the religious aspects and philosophy of Buddhism.
"Adding to the diversity of religious expression on campus by adding this Buddhist group will, in part, impact the larger community positively by helping us all become more aware of our religious choices and commitments," said Dr. Dickman, whose personal and academic background includes liberal Protestantism and Zen Buddhism. "As YHC expands, such groups are crucial for the vibrancy of the community."
During the summer, Dr. Dickman met with Campus Minister Rev. Dr. Tim Moore, along with other faculty and staff members, to develop an eclectic Buddhist organization inclusive of Vipassana insight meditation, Tantric practice and Zen seated meditation.
On Oct. 1, seven members of the group attended a half-day "Intro to Zen" course at Great Tree Zen Temple in Alexander, N.C., facilitated by the temple's abbess, Rev. Teijo Munnich. The group discussed many key Buddhist insights and Rev. Munnich instructed the group regarding proper meditation postures and breathing exercises.
"The trip was one of the best weekends I have had at YHC this semester," said group member Ashley Cross, a sophomore biology major from Murphy, N.C. "I had a lot of fun connecting with other students that share the same interests. I would love to see this new group continue to grow because it offers an opportunity for the YHC community to learn about a different religious practice that is unique to our area."
The group meets every Monday at 4:30 p.m. in the Center for Appalachian Studies and Community Engagement.

Can a thick filler like Radiesse be applied in the back of the jawbone to temporarily pull and hold SEMI-SAGGY jowls? Crazy idea? Note that 7 yrs ago I inquired about fillers in temples for soft upper face lift and I was told "NO-WAY" by several Drs. and now day this area is treated with fillers (?!). So far, Ultherapy hsn't work, botox worked a bit and now I'm wondering if a thick filler will temp.give better results? (not looking for minilift either) Thank you all! :)
Fillers Applied in the Back of Jaw Bone?

The Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Facelift Works Well For Mild Sagging and Jowls
Congratulations on your original thinking. It took aesthetic physicians a long time and a lot of work to appreciate and implement what you seem to have intuited on your own.
Over the last decade our understanding of how our skin ages has undergone a revolution. Whereas once the visible signs of facial and neck aging were attributed exclusively to skin laxity or looseness, today, we know that the sagging, drooping, wrinkling, textural alterations, etc that characterize the passage of time are a result of a number of anatomical and physiological events. These include loss in the quality and quantity of collagen and elastic fibers, largely due to years of accumulated sun exposure and other environmental damage; an increase in facial expression muscle activity (hyperkinesis); loss of facial volume (due to decreases in fat, bone, cartilage and muscle); weakening of the retaining ligaments that suspend and hold the skin and underlying tissues in place; and the fragmentation and downward displacement--due to the effects of gravity--of the fat compartments that are responsible for giving fullness, smoothness, and youthful contour to the face and neck. The result of this gravitational pull on compromised, devolumized facial tissue is that the face loses its youthful triangular shape and takes on a more boxy look as the jowls and neck sag.
To illustrate what happens to our skin as we age, just Imagine a fully expanded dining room table covered with a beautiful, smooth table cloth that hangs just so halfway down each of the sides of the table. Now consider what would happen if you were to remove both leaves from the middle of the table. Not surprisingly, the table cloth that draped so beautifully now droops down to the floor. To restore the table cloth to its proper position, you wouldn't conclude that it had gotten too loose and proceed to cutting it down all the way around the table to shorten it. You would simply reinsert the leaves of the table and voila. However, for decades, physicians perceived jowls and turkey necks and sagging cheeks to be simple laxity (skin hanging) and merely cut away the "excess" tissue" as part of surgical facelifts, necklifts and eyelifts--often creating artificial, cadaverous, skeleton-like, overly pulled tight faces--giving rise to the obvious and much dreaded, "They've been done" look..
Unfortunately, despite the marketing hype to the contrary, many of the energy based, nonsurgical treatment modalities, such as radiofrequency, ultrasound and laser and light devices have not proven particularly effective, yielding results that are often subtle or minimal at best. As evidence of this, one only has to look at how quickly today's supposed God's gift to nonsurgical rejuvenation energy-based device is replaced almost every day by the next purportedly most advanced, latest and greatest gizmo.
Today, fortunately, we do have several methods for nonsurgically addressing aging changes that have stood the test of time and that necessitate little or no downtime. For muscle overactivity, we have neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport and Xeomin. For roughness, textural changes, skin dullness and mottled pigmentation, we have topical prescription medications, chemical peels, medical microneedling, etc. For fine wrinkles, we have fillers and for deeper furrows and volume loss, we have developed volumizing injectable fillers. And now, for sagging skin and apparent laxity, we have "The Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Lift."
A vector describes a magnitude and direction of force. Aging skin is characterized by a negative downward and inward vector of sagging. To counter this, surgeons traditionally pulled skin upward and outward--i.e. using a positive vector. The key difference between the outcomes of traditional surgical correction and nonsurgical 3D vectoring, both of which lift upwards and outwards, is the Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Lift's additional corrective dimension of 'forward projection'. This 3D effect is the result of volumizing with the use of injectable agents designed for this purpose, such as Radiesse, Voluma, Restylane SQ, and Stylage XXL.
The Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Lift is predicated upon the fact that the face and portions of the neck differ in their degree of mobility. The region directly in front and behind the ears is a fixed, denser, relatively immobile area, in contrast to the mid-cheek region (hence the greater tendency of this region to sag with the passage of time). These anatomical differences are exploited in the Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Lift by making the fixed areas serve as anchoring points for the mobile tissues. In determining the positive vectors for the mid to lower face, the tissues that require lifting are identified by pulling the skin directly in front of the ears in a direction perpendicular to the area that requires correction. If the pulling results in lifting of the desired tissue, then the vector has been correctly identified and is then marked in accordance with 3D vectoring protocol. A similar approach is used in the region of the angle of the jaw or in back of the ear when dealing with neck laxity. So the idea of injection at the angle of the jawbone in this instance is right on the mark.
Once the proper vectors are marked, the volumizing agents are injected in a series of radiating bands that serve as support struts to the skin and that impart the necessary 3D outward projection--the lift--that distinguishes and defines this nonsurgical approach. The high viscosity and elasticity of the volumizing fillers serves to hold and re-support the overlying tissue and restore more youthful contours.
Although volumizing fillers are reabsorbed over time, they do promote new, native collagen synthesis, which may continue to provide structure, firmness and improved skin quality while continuing to lift tissues. A typical Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Lift of the face takes about fifteen minutes to perform. Bruising and swelling tend to be minimal, and most people can return to work or social activities immediately following treatment.

Radiesse works well to improve a sagging jawline
Radiesse absolutely works to build in front of and behind the jowl. Especially in combination with restoring cheek volumes, these maneuvers create significant tightening of the jawline.
Can Radiesse be used in the jaw area to lift and reshape the face?
The answer is yes. Radiesse is a great product to fill and lift a sagging jaw line. It can be used in the jaw, cheeks and pre auricular area to lift and reshape the face
We do use it in the temple areas too. Although many of these areas are considered "off Label" We have had good success with the treatments.
Filler to Jawline Can Improve "Saggy" Jowls
Hi Ling Ling,
You were ahead of your time years ago about filler use in the temples. Today you are right on about the use of volume to correct signs of aging. The "semi-saggy" jowls that you refer to are usually the result of loss of volume of the surrounding areas of the face including bone of the mandible and midface, fat pads, and sometimes even muscle. The use of a "thicker" filler such as Radiesse along the jawline can help to camouflage the jowl area.
The most important aspect of your treatment will be choosing your injecting physician very carefully. Goodl luck and be well.
Dr., P
Fillers applied in the back of jaw bone
My answer would be that it depends on what you mean by "semi-saggy". Fillers can be used along the jawline, and successfully, but it's a very minor change only. If when you look in the mirror and are looking at the "semi-saggy" area, if you are using your fingertips to pull the area back tightly and firmly, then no that kind of lift cannot be obtained simply by fillers. It will be a minor change that any filler will be able to give. So your best bet would be to see a good physician injector for an evaluation. Some changes simply cannot be made without a surgery.
Radiesse injections
Yes, Radiesse and other fillers are now being injected along the jaw and right infront of the ear to replace volume that is lost in the aging process or as a result of a face lift. By placing fillers in this area it naturally lifts the jowls and cheek area creating a mini lift. As you stated, 7 yrs ago we would have said no but over the years the techniques have evolved with the trend to delay surgery as long as possible.
Look for an injector in your area that is using the needless, cannula approach. That is a good sign that they are an advanced injector and had adopted these new techniques. But also do your homework, get a consultation and ask to look at before and after pictures with good and bad outcomes. A sign of a good injector is that they learn and know how to correct an issue if it were to arise.
Fillers To Lift Jowls
My first assessment is that I would prefer to see you in person in order to make a full assessment of your situation. You may actually be having some masseteric hypertrophy that is giving you more of a square face than you'd like. But I do understand the jowling concept and how a liquid lift and volume enhancement of your upper face and lateral malar region can actually improve your jowling. Without seeing you I have some concerns as to whether or not your assessment of what the treatment outcome would be may have some flaws in it. However, Radiesse® can be placed in almost any tissue plane. The concept of having volume enhancement laterally to alleviate the dependent jowl region does not hold a lot of probability that you will be satisfied with its injection there, however. Of course, again I would be able to answer with more accuracy if I could see you in person.

Martin Kramer: If the War Goes Badly, Congress Could Defund Title VIRoundup: Historians' Take
Martin Kramer, on his blog (April 21, 2004):
... The public hasn't yet fixed blame for the on-the-ground problems that have beset the United States. But some of it could easily settle upon the academy, for failing to prepare this country for its mission despite almost fifty years of federal subsidies for area studies. That would make Title VI a tempting target for retribution. Lots of people in the academy have rushed to compare Iraq to Vietnam. Whatever you think of the comparison, remember this outcome of the Vietnam war: Richard Nixon zero-budgeted Title VI. In his 1970 budget message, Nixon called the program"outmoded." It was saved by Congress, but its budget was halved.
Paradoxically, a campaign to cut Title VI funding would meet less resistance than the present campaign on behalf of H.R. 3077. The academics have framed their agitation against the bill opportunistically, as a defense of academic freedom against the alleged horrors of an advisory board. This has gotten them the support of a whole range of off-campus activists who just love to pose as champions of free speech. After all, that's how the ACLU justifies its existence and raises its own funds. But you can be sure that these same activists wouldn't lift a finger to defend academe's subsidies against appropriations cuts, if there were no matter of supposed principle at stake. After all, Harvard and Princeton aren't starving. Title VI now supports seventeen federally-funded Middle East centers, more than at any time in history. If Congress decided to cut that number to twelve or ten, would the ACLU send an impassioned letter to the Hill (as it did against H.R. 3077)? The answer is a pretty obvious"no."
But surely, you say, Congress wouldn't cut budgets for international studies at a time of growing American need. I don't think Congress would completely defund Title VI, but that's where alternatives come into play. Take the National Security Education Program (NSEP), which was established following the Kuwait war. It gives scholarships to students in return for a commitment to government service. It's now running a pilot of the National Flagship Language Initiative, a new approach to producing graduates with advanced levels of language proficiency. Until now, the NSEP has operated out of a trust fund created by a one-time appropriation in 1991. But the fund is depleted, and the NSEP will have to go to annual appropriations if it's going to survive. The figure that's out there is $20 million a year. That could easily be shaved off the $90 million that now go to Title VI; such a cut would only set Title VI back to where it was before 9/11.
I could go on and on with other alternatives, but you get the idea. Title VI is vulnerable. Paradoxically, an advisory board appointed by Congress could provide the program with a built-in tripwire against defunding initiatives, and lock Congress into the reform approach. But many academics, especially the more radical ones, either can't see it, or think they can kill the board but keep the money. To judge from our straw poll, that's a very risky assumption. Were H.R. 3077 to be defeated or gutted, it's easy to imagine Title VI with no board, less money, and an uncertain future. And if Iraq turns out badly, it's easy to imagine a Congress angry enough to create alternatives at the expense of Title VI, so that America will be ready next time.

This week's big news is the OMB's denial of SmartCentre's plans for a big box development in Leslieville. The story has been covered in The Star, Torontoist and Spacing.
Why are cyclists celebrating this win? The development would have abutted one of the few dedicated bike paths Torontonians have built. We all expect our bike paths to have intersections, but this would have added three very busy parking lot entrances on this stretch of path. In addition, it would have been another car-oriented development in a place with potential to be a transit-oriented, pedestrian friendly and cycling friendly employment centre.
The full decision is on the OMB site (pdf). If you find yourself making a case at the OMB, it's probably a good read.
If you have any insight into the success in this case, please share in the comments.

Toward a physically plausible upper bound of sea-level rise projections
Anthropogenic sea-level rise (SLR) causes considerable risks. Designing a sound SLR risk-management strategy requires careful consideration of decision-relevant uncertainties such as the reasonable upper bound of future SLR. The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Fourth Assessment reported a likely upper SLR bound in the year 2100 near 0.6 m (meter). More recent studies considering semi-empirical modeling approaches and kinematic constraints on glacial melting suggest a reasonable 2100 SLR upper bound of approximately 2 m. These recent studies have broken important new ground, but they largely neglect uncertainties surrounding thermal expansion (thermosteric SLR) and/or observational constraints on ocean heat uptake. Here we quantify the effects of key parametric uncertainties and observational constraints on thermosteric SLR projections using an Earth system model with a dynamic three-dimensional ocean, which provides a mechanistic representation of deep ocean processes and heat uptake. Considering these effects nearly doubles the contribution of thermosteric SLR compared to previous estimates and increases the reasonable upper bound of 2100 SLR projections by 0.25 m. As an illustrative example of the effect of overconfidence, we show how neglecting thermosteric uncertainty in projections of the SLR upper bound can considerably bias risk analysis and hence the design of adaptation strategies. For conditions close to the Port of Los Angeles, the 0.25 m increase in the reasonable upper bound can result in a flooding-risk increase by roughly three orders of magnitude. Results provide evidence that relatively minor underestimation of the upper bound of projected SLR can lead to major downward biases of future flooding risks.

Washington, Oct. 10 (ANI): Tim Giardina, deputy commander of U.S. nuclear forces, has been relieved of his duty pending an investigation of his gambling behavior at an Iowa casino.
Giardina was reassigned from the Strategic Command to the Navy staff, as the Naval Criminal Investigative Service is conducting a probe into the allegations that he used counterfeit chips at the casino, media reports said.
The move was taken on the recommendation by Robert Kehler, top commander of the Strategic Command, to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in September.
Both President Barack Obama and Hagel have approved the recommendation of reassigning Giardina.
The investigation of Giardina, who has served as the No. 2 officer at the Strategic Command since December 2011, originated from a local law enforcement investigation in Iowa in June, the reports said.
The case is unprecedented in the history of the U.S. Strategic Command, which controls all U.S. nuclear forces. (ANI)

U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, PA-11, released the following statement after Rick Santorum suspended his presidential campaign Tuesday afternoon:
"I'd like to commend my friend Rick Santorum on his presidential campaign. Rick went farther than any of his critics dreamed he would. He did it with very little money, but with a strong conservative message that resonated nationwide with millions of loyal supporters. I believe Rick made Mitt Romney a better candidate. The Republican Party is stronger because of Rick's candidacy. As I said all along, the Rick Santorum I know is a fighter, and he fought to the end. I congratulate him for his hard-fought campaign, and I wish him well.
"I also send the thoughts and prayers of me and my family to his daughter, Bella. She seems to be a fighter, just like her Dad."

Estate Sale Shopping Tips
Tori Spelling on Shopping Estate Sales
We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling! Every other week we're bringing you the best parenting and lifestyle advice from ediTORIal by Tori Spelling, which is Tori's daily blog about everything from food and fashion to parenting and relationships. This week Tori teaches us how to shop an estate sale.
Estate sales are a great place to find everything at a range of price points, from furniture to antiques to art to jewelry and vintage clothing. You never know what you're going to find when you enter one, and each estate sale is different.
Here's a little bit of background about what they are and how they work:
First of all, the term "estate" in this context refers to the belongings that an individual has accumulated over a lifetime. Estate sales are held for all sorts of reasons – sometimes people are moving or just want to get rid of stuff! An estate sale is different than a yard sale in that a company is usually hired to run the sale. It's a lot of work; so for many families, it's well worth it to work with an experienced company.
Insider Tips First, get there early! The best stuff goes the fastest, so you want to have first dibs. It's easy to feel like a kid in a candy store at an estate sale, so arrive with a budget in mind and stop at an ATM on the way — many estate sales accept cash only. Even if the sale accepts cards or checks, bringing a set amount of cash will help you to stick to your budget.
People shop estate sales for all sorts of reasons. Collectors go to find rare and beautiful pieces to add to their collections. You can also shop for furniture, clothes, or items like gardening tools and kitchen utensils that were made with more care back in the day.
Related: Stella's Style — '50s Glam
Be picky, and arrive with a list in mind. Don't buy $100 worth of antique dolls if you came intending to find a mosaic table for your patio. Stay open to inspiration — maybe you find a smooth, slate table you'd rather have instead — but don't set yourself up for buyer's remorse. When you decide what you'd like to buy, get ready to bargain! The more you buy, the more leverage you have.
Shop Around Want to get started shopping estate sales? Go to EstateSales.net to find sales near you. For many sales, you can even view the items on sale in advance, so you can plan what you want to buy.
I usually research what estate sales are in the area and come up with a game plan, but this one we just randomly drove by. Score!
Entering the estate sale. Always get a little rush wondering what treasures lie ahead.
Love all these sea treasures. They have so many uses! Great for display on tables, mantles, armoires, or shelves. Also make great bookends, paperweights, door stoppers, or centerpieces! If shells look a little not so fresh, a little bleach will whiten and brighten them right up! Or be creative and lacquer them gold or silver.
Small tchotchkes are great to sort through to find gifts for friends or family that have collections.
A beautiful Indian fabric would make chic pillows, napkins, place mats, or part of your wardrobe! Think outside the box when sorting through estate sale treasures. But try to buy with an endgame in mind.
Not sure exactly what I'll do with this vintage kids fabric but it was a must have for $15! In the kids playroom it could make adorable throw pillows.
Estate sales can be for the serious shopper, seller, decorator, or collector, or can be a social outing. I love going with my friends who love antiques as much as I do. We make a fun day of it! We grab coffee on the way (early bird gets the worm), pop in and out of local sales, and then discuss our great (or sometimes lack of) finds over a fun, weekend brunch.

Dietrich Fast Denies Mike Shariati Second WPT Title, Wins L. A. Poker Classic
Fighting his way from the back of the pack, Dietrich Fast was able to deny World Poker Tour champion Mike Shariati his second WPT title of the Season XIV schedule, winning the WPT L. A. Poker Classic early Friday morning.
Fast had his work cut out for him as, with his decent stack of 2.365 million in chips, only Alex Keating (1.785 million) was behind him. Fast was a part of a pack of players that was separated by less than 300K in chips, with Farid Jattin (2.63 million), Shariati (2.535 million), and Sam Soverel (2.425 million) joining Fast in that pack. Anthony Spinella was the man to beat at the start of the day, however, as he lorded over the final table with his 3.705 million chip stack.
Spinella would come out firing to put the pressure on his opponents, but it would end up hurting him more than helping. After taking a pot when he luckily rivered a ten to go with his A-10 and defeat Shariati's A-J, Spinella decided to pop the pot again on Hand 5 from under the gun. This time it was Fast who came along, three-betting the action to 265K and Spinella called to see a J-9-4 flop. Spinella slowed down with a check, then came out firing with a raise to 920K after Fast bet 275K. When the A♥ put a flush on the board, both players checked their options and another heart, the 2♥, completely shut down the action with two more checks. Spinella showed he was playing a J♣ 9♣ from under the gun and got fortunate in flopping two pair, but Fast had gotten even more fortunate to turn an Ace to go with his pocket Aces for the winning set, pushing the pot and the chip lead to him as Spinella began his downward dive.
It seemed that no one gave Spinella any respect for a hand after his battle against Fast. He lost another two million chip pot to Soverel on Hand 12 and, on Hand 19, doubled up Keating when his Big Slick failed to catch up against Keating's pocket threes on a nine-high board. Down to only 385K in chips after that fight, Spinella would earn a double up on Hand 25; two hands later, Spinella would run K-J off suit into Soverel's A-10 off suit to go from the "penthouse to the outhouse" in finishing in sixth place.
After the departure of the busy Spinella, the remaining five men relaxed into what became a rather sedentary final table. About the only excitement over the next 25 hands was the penalization of Alex Keating by Tournament Director Matt Savage, who warned Keating twice about discussing the contents of his hands with his opponents at the table while a hand was in action. After Keating ignored Savage's warnings, the renown TD tossed Keating for one round in the tournament, which seemed to get the point across as Keating didn't do it again.
After Keating returned to the table, the players seemed to take that as a cue to start eliminating some players. On Hand 58, Keating would use pocket Aces to knock off Jattin in fifth place (sure he was glad to not have been on penalty for THAT hand) and, 12 hands later in a blind versus blind battle, Fast would take down Soverel in fourth after Soverel tried to all-in bluff Fast off his hand. When Fast knocked off Keating on the very next hand, his Big Slick defeating Keating's Big Chick, and heads up play was set with Fast holding nearly a 3:1 lead over Shariati.
Although they would battle it out for 55 hands, Shariati never once took the lead from Fast. In fact, Shariati never even got within 4 million chips of Fast's chip advantage as Fast meticulously worked the stacks for several levels before the finale. On that fateful hand, Fast would open up from the button and, after Shariati pushed all in for almost 5 million in chips, Fast took some time and got the exact count before making a tenuous call. Fast was in the lead pre-flop, his A-9 off suit against Shariati's A♦ 8♦, and Shariati actually took the lead on the A-J-4-8 flop and turn. When the river paired the Jack, however, Shariati's second pair was counterfeited, Fast's nine now played and the championship was determined in the favor of Dietrich Fast.
1. Dietrich Fast, $1,000,800
2. Mike Shariati, $656,540
3. Alex Keating, $423,890
4. Sam Soverel, $316,440
5. Farid Jattin, $238,070
6. Anthony Spinella, $191,250
As a consolation prize (as if over $600K wasn't enough), Shariati takes over the WPT Player of the Year race with the points earned at the LAPC. He now has a very healthy lead over second place Cate Hall as the WPT prepares to move on to the second stop of their "California Swing," the Bay 101 Shooting Star in San Jose, CA, which begins on March 7.

This exciting tidbit was conveyed in the lead-in to a story on the failure of the Obama administration's mortgage modification program (HAMP). That is a surprising assessment given the fact that purchase mortgage applications have dropped by more than 30 percent from year ago levels since the end of the homebuyer's tax credit on April 30th. Unless 30 percent fewer people feel like selling their homes in 2010 than 2009 (a relatively weak period for house sales), then house prices will be headed sharply lower. (This is based on a complex technical process known as "supply and demand.")
The issue of the direction of house prices is actually very relevant to the topic. The housing bubble has not fully deflated in many areas of the country. This means that government efforts to keep people in their homes are likely to still leave many people underwater. In other words, by design, the Obama program will be paying servicers and investors money for mortgage modifications that still leave homeowners with no equity in their homes. This makes HAMP a good mechanism for getting money to banks, but a very way to help homeowners.
It is not possible to assess the merits of this sort of mortgage modification program without a serious assessment of the future course of house prices. NPR excluded such a discussion with the unsupported assertion in its lead-in.

What does first-ever Diabetes Charter for Canada mean for Sask.?
Watch above: a new diabetes charter aims at empowering those with diabetes while outlining a standard of care to others
SASKATOON – Fittingly on World Health Day, the Canadian Diabetes Association unveiled a diabetes charter for the country, outlining the rights and responsibilities of those living with diabetes as well as health care providers, school divisions and governments.
This will be the first of it's kind, aimed at empowering those with diabetes and their caregivers while outlining a standard of care to others.
It is hoped that over time, the Charter will become the "new" standard for people living with diabetes.
"If you consider Saskatchewan, we have 90,000 people diagnosed with diabetes today and we hear consistently from these people that their care and the services they provide is not consistent across the province." said Warren Wagner, regional director for Saskatchewan for the Canadian Diabetes Association.
"There is a concern that people need to have a standard of care that would help them achieve the best quality of life they can while they live with their diabetes."
In Saskatchewan, one in every 13 people has been diagnosed with diabetes at an estimated cost this year to the health care system of $471 million.
Experts also project there are more than 170,000 people in the province with pre-diabetes, which occurs when an individual's blood glucose levels are elevated. Approximately, 50 per cent of those with pre-diabetes will go on to develop Type 2 diabetes.
"If we have a charter, we have a focus. Those who's lifestyle may well put them in pre-diabetes danger that they're able to relate to it and say, this is what's happening with those with diabetes what steps can I personally take or responsibilities and duties do I have to avoid getting diabetes in the future." said Peter Dickson, regional chair for northern Saskatchewan with the Canadian Diabetes Association.
Recommendations by the Canadian Diabetes Association for the province include:
- extending the benefits of the Saskatchewan Children's Drug Plan for diabetes care to include individuals up to 25 years of age,
- enhance coverage for insulin pumps by eliminating the age limit for coverage and,
- developing a "diabetes pathway" so those affiliated receive quicker and better coordinated access to ongoing diabetes education and medical professionals in order to avoid serious complications.
"I had a cousin that had his leg amputated, who was on dialysis, was blind, had kidney failure, all because of diabetes."
Diagnosed with Type one diabetes ten years ago this month, Paige Orser says she hopes the charter will help those living with diabetes achieve a good quality of life going forward.
"My experience coming from a little rural city, Estevan, Saskatchewan not a lot of the doctors know how to deal with an emergency diabetic so this charter is going to help to give a voice to those and just standards as to what they should how to do and what is required for the diabetics so I'm looking forward to this charter."
What does the Diabetes Charter for Canada mean for Saskatchewan?:
The Diabetes Charter for Canada (the Charter) clearly outlines the support residents of Saskatchewan with diabetes need to live to their full potential, including quality diabetes care, education, programs and services, medications, devices, supplies and other supports.
Commitments within the Charter address the unique needs of people living with diabetes in the province.
For example:
- The province has the second highest concentration of Aboriginal people among Canadian jurisdictions.
- The province also has higher rates of overweight and obesity, and higher prediabetes prevalence than other provinces.
- These populations all have a higher risk of developing diabetes and serious complications.
- Saskatchewan has a higher rural population than the national average: Accessing care for people with diabetes is more challenging in rural areas across Canada than in urban areas.
- Saskatchewan has difficulty in retaining specialists such as endocrinologists who are limited in numbers and upon whom people with diabetes rely.
According to Wagner, he would like to see changes sparked by this initiative as soon as possible and plans to present best practices for treating people with diabetes in Canada to the provincial Minister of Health in the near future.

Scaling up interventions for chronic disease prevention: the evidence.
Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA. firstname.lastname@example.com
Interventions to prevent morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases need to be cost effective and financially feasible in countries of low or middle income before recommendations for their scale-up can be made. We review the cost-effectiveness estimates on policy interventions (both population-based and personal) that are likely to lead to substantial reductions in chronic diseases--in particular, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease. We reviewed data from regions of low, middle, and high income, where available, as well as the evidence for making policy interventions where available effectiveness or cost-effectiveness data are lacking. The results confirm that the cost-effectiveness evidence for tobacco control measures, salt reduction, and the use of multidrug regimens for patients with high-risk cardiovascular disease strongly supports the feasibility of the scale-up of these interventions. Further assessment to determine the best national policies to achieve reductions in consumption of saturated and trans fat--chemically hydrogenated plant oils--could eventually lead to substantial reductions in cardiovascular disease. Finally, we review evidence for policy implementation in areas of strong causality or highly probable benefit--eg, changes in personal interventions for diabetes reduction, restructuring of health systems, and wider policy decisions.

The Cycle of Saturn
By Steve Kinsman, 8th May 2011 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed | Short URL http://nut.bz/1te8u-ws/
Posted in WikinutGuidesDivinationAstrology
We take a look at the importance of the cycles of Saturn and what it means in terms of an individual's life.
Saturn - the cycle of maturity
Saturn takes twenty-nine-and-a-half years to make a complete circle through the zodiac, and it specifically relates to the process of an individual's maturation. Up until around age seven, the child is almost completely dependent on his or her parents, but at that age Saturn forms a square (90 degree angle) to its natal position. This corresponds to the time of a child's first attempts to separate himself from his parents, to become an individual. He or she has just entered school and begins to form relationships beyond the family circle. At age fourteen Saturn opposes its natal position, and this corresponds to the crisis of adolescence, when the child goes to bed one night a perfect little angel and wakes up the next morning an insufferable teenage brat, totally alienated from his parents, who have literally overnight become 'know nothings'. This can be a difficult time for parents, especially if they fail to recognize that this is a period in a child's life when he or she is seeking a personal identity and is consumed by an urge to fit in to the outside world. As parents we must not take the child's sudden devaluing of us personally. They are engaged in the process of separating themselves from us in a manner that allows them to explore their outside world more deeply, and to cut their apron strings to us.
At twenty-one Saturn forms the waning square to its natal position. It is three-quarters of the way through its initial 29 year cycle. This is a critical time in the young person's life. In many societies, he or she is expected to become fully adult at this time. Many are finishing college and joining the work force (if they can find a job these days). People expect that they are adults, but in fact they are not yet there. If you observe most people in their twenties, they will be seen to be still lacking in a great measure of maturity. In America, where I live, it seems to me that the majority of twenty-somethings are little advanced beyond high school kids in terms of maturity.
Then around the age of twenty-nine to thirty, when Saturn makes its first return to its natal position, a shift happens. For most of us it takes one full cycle of Saturn before we begin to get a handle on who we are and where we are going - where we want to go with our lives. For me personally, it wasn't until this time in my life that I figured out who I was and the direction in which I wanted to take my life, and I think that is the case for the vast majority of us. The cycle of maturity is not complete until the first Saturn return, twenty-nine plus years after birth.
The second Saturn cycle
The second Saturn cycle begins between twenty-nine and thirty and lasts until age 58-59. During this second Saturn cycle we make our mark upon the world's stage. Hopefully, we do what we came into the world to do.
Between 42 and 44 years of age Saturn opposes its natal position for the second time. The first opposition marked the crisis of adolescence; this opposition marks the mid-life crisis. Uranus opposes its natal position at this same time, and Neptune squares its natal position. Commonly, at this period in one's life there is a profound examination of self. Have I constructed my life the way I want? Am I on the path that's right for me? Do I need a new direction in life? And many will make radical life direction changes during this time.
The third Saturn cycle
The end of the first Saturn cycle at age twenty nine could be said to mark a second birth. you have just completed the cycle of maturation, and you are 'born into' - hopefully, your fully adult life path. Having completed the second Saturn cycle between the age of 58 and 59, your third birth occurs. You have made your mark upon the world, and now the cosmos begins to call you away from the world of affairs, in a new direction still, one that is more personal and internal, less concerned with outer world accomplishment, beckoning you to develop yourself within.
Most lifetimes encompass close to three full Saturn cycles, and each represents a distinctly different life path stage. In the first we develop and mature as individuals. In the second we perform. And in the third we develop along an inner path as we complete the journey of life.

This is the hottest man in Canada?
Bryan Adams can sing. He can write. He plays a mean guitar. And he's a rugged, handsome guy. But is he really one of the 10 sexiest men in Canada?
Sure, if you follow the Huffington Post, which recently placed our beloved 80s crooner on its list of hottest males from the Great White North.
Would it put things into perspective if you knew Will Arnett and Tom Green also made the list? Yeah, thought so.

Romney has outsourced his political identity to a numbers guy whose numbers don't add up
I'D BEEN wondering how long it would take Republicans to realise that Paul Ryan is their guy. He's the cutest package that cruelty ever came in. He has a winning air of sad cheerfulness.
He's affable and clean-cut, with the Irish altar-boy widow's peak and droopy, winsome blue eyes and unashamed sentimentality. Who better to rain misery upon the heads of millions of Americans?
Unlike W, he's not even going to make a feint at "compassionate conservatism". Why bother with some silly scruple or toehold of conscience? Unlike some of the right-wing ayatollahs, Ryan doesn't threaten with moral and cultural gusts of sulphur.
He seems more like a friendly guidance counsellor who wants to teach us how to live, get us in shape, PowerPoint away the social safety net to make the less advantaged more self-reliant, as he makes the rich richer.
He's for burning the village to save it, so we can avoid the fiscal cliff, or as he and his fellow conservative Cassandras ominously call it, "the debt bomb".
Ryan should stop being so lovable. People who intend to hurt other people should wipe the smile off their faces. – (New York Times service)

It is finally here. Only one day until the Washington football season begins with a match up against the Rainbow Warriors. This game also provides the players a chance to prove their worth to the new coaching staff in a real game situation. Instead of doing a straight game preview, here is a look at a few players in particular to watch this Saturday:
[Washington football: Reactions to depth chart]
Jeff Lindquist
Is this just a one game replacement job or a chance to win a starting spot? That will be up to Lindquist this weekend. Cyler Miles appears to be the favorite to win the job once he finishes his one game suspension.
But don't count out Lindquist entirely.
With Miles out for this game, it provides a perfect opportunity for Lindquist to prove he has the makings of a high level college quarterback. Unfortunately for him, I'm not sure that a dominating performance against the likes of Hawaii will be the deciding factor in the quarterback battle, but it definitely won't hurt his chances. On the other hand, if Lindquist fails to have an impressive performance it could end any shot of being the starting quarterback for the Huskies.
Shaq Thompson
Everyone knows what Thompson is capable of on the defensive side of the ball.
That's not why I am including him in my players to watch list, although watching him play defense is a sight to behold. What I am really curious to see is if the Shaq Thompson experiment at running back is a real thing.
Dwayne Washington and Lavon Coleman have all the tools to be special at the collegiate level. But does that mean they will prevent Thompson from getting a few touches?
Even though the Huskies probably won't need Thompson's help on the offensive side of the ball against Hawaii, I'm excited to see if he gets at least a few carries. You heard it here first, if he gets five carries, one of them is going for +50 yards.
Budda Baker
The Bellevue High star made waves when he decommitted from Oregon and decided to stay home and play for the Huskies. Now this weekend he will get his chance to start for the Huskies at safety.
There is no one on this team I want to see play more than Baker. The last time a top athlete came in and started as a freshman for the Huskies the team instantly saw a major boost to their defense.
That player was the aforementioned Thompson.
If Baker can come in and have a similar impact at the back of this Husky defense it could propel the Huskies to the top of the PAC-12 north. All eyes will be on Baker come Saturday to see if he is worth the hype. I'm sure he will be.
On a last note, Baker will be doing kick returning duties alongside John Ross. Expect some electricity between the two of them.

Scouts start annual campaign: 'Friends of Scouting'
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. -- The annual campaign to help local scouts is back in Douglas County.
It's called "Friends of Scouting," and it started on Friday, and will run through the middle of March.
Money raised through the campaign will go to help support the more than 500 local volunteers and 1,000 scouts.
Officials say that any amount of money helps. "It takes about $125 to put one boy through the program for one year through our giving campaign," said Chris McCullough, the executive director of the district. "$250 will send two boys to camp, or four cub scouts to day camp."
Organizers say that scouting helps to shape young boys and encourages them to be their best. "Scouting empowers young people," says Kay Wissman, the campaign chair. "It allows them to exercise control and have a reason to be responsible."
This year's goal is $70,000, and both Wissman and McCullough are confident they'll be able to raise that much money.
In just four days, the campaign already had reached 15% of the goal.
McCullough adds that every boy who wants to be a scout deserves the opportunity, and the Friends of Scouting campaign allows them to do that.
If you want to donate or you're interested in becoming a scout, you can contact Chris at 541-673-5305.

Florida leads the nation in associate degrees awarded
For the seventh straight year, Florida's community college system has issued more associate degrees -- 49,354 -- than any other place in the United States, with Broward College leading the way among two-year institutions and Miami-Dade College at the top of the four-year schools.
The system also led the way in the number of degrees issued to minorities and the number of degrees issued in health professions, nursing, liberal arts and humanities, according to the latest issue of Community College Week.
Said education commissioner Eric J. Smith: "Florida's colleges are helping to prepare our workforce for the demands of today's economy, and it's no surprise they continue to top national charts. I could not be more proud of a state college system that works so cohesively to better the lives of the students that pass through its doors, and I look forward to maintaining the commitment to access again next year."

Mergers and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry
Conflicting trends confound the pharmaceutical industry. The productivity of pharmaceutical innovation has declined in recent years. At the same time, the cohort of large companies who are the leading engines of pharmaceutical R&D has become increasingly concentrated. The concurrent presence of these trends is not sufficient to determine causation. In response to lagging innovation prospects, some companies have sought refuge in mergers and acquisitions to disguise their dwindling prospects or gain R&D synergies. On the other hand, the increased concentration brought on by recent mergers may have contributed to the declining rate of innovation. In this paper, we consider the second of these causal relationships: the likely impact of the recent merger wave among the largest pharmaceutical companies on the rate of innovation. In other words, have recent mergers, which may have been taken in response to lagging innovation, represented a self-defeating strategy that only made industry outcomes worse?
