Not enough officers to patrol roads, sheriff says
Stark County Sheriff Clarence Tuhy, in what has become an ongoing plea for help, told the Stark County Commission on Tuesday that the need for his officers to conduct security at the courthouse in Dickinson has dramatically impeded his office's ability to enforce the law.
A lack of staff has sometimes left no one to patrol county roads, Tuhy said at the county commissioners meeting.
"There's times when we've got three guys tied up in three courtrooms," he said. "Then there are guys tied up with transportation to and from the jail."
A committee tasked with improving courthouse security has only met twice since forming last year, Tuhy said.
Stark County Commission Vice President Jay Elkin suggested charging a $100 fee to pay for a security presence at the courthouse. Tuhy partially agreed, saying that efforts to apply for grants have failed. But Tuhy said he doubts that people would agree to such a fee.
Commission President Russ Hoff said county leaders need to come up with a solution to the problem soon, especially if an emergency occurs. That means moving forward with a set of safety recommendations.
"It's something that we need to move along on," Hoff said. "It's something where we'll say, 'Why didn't we get going on this?'"
Members of the courthouse safety committee include Tuhy, Stark County state's attorney Tom Henning, county planner Steve Josephson and Commissioner Peter Kuntz.
In addition to security concerns, the commission addressed other matters.
Stark County emergency services director Bill Fahlsing said he will host a meeting soon for members of the public to hear about the county's air ambulance options.
The meeting will be Thursday, July 31, at the Biesot Activities Center in Dickinson. A time has not yet been set. Residents will be able to directly ask officials questions.
Two companies — Spirit Lifeline and Sanford Health Air Ambulance — will present their pitches to county residents.
Spirit Lifeline would charge the county $128,812 for helicopter flights to area hospitals for all residents. Normally, such flights would cost about $25,000 each.
Sanford has recently extended a counteroffer to Spirit Lifeline's initial offer.
Hoff said he hopes the city of Dickinson will help pay for an air ambulance plan, since a majority of the county's residents live there.
"The city really should be a part of this," Hoff said.
Josephson outlined new amendments to the county's zoning ordinances, reintroducing industrial noise standards and adding design standards for communications towers.
New parking space rules for industrial and manufacturing warehouses were re-established.
The county previously amended its zoning ordinances in 2012 to prepare for development in the midst of the Bakken oil boom.
Hoff said he was frustrated that any changes were necessary.
"We paid an organization to put together a plan that didn't end up being final," Hoff said.
Elkin contended that more development in the area will necessitate more changes.
"This is going to be a work in progress all the time," Elkin said.

Statistical process control in food manufacturing
Reduced waste and more consistent quality are just two of the benefits from using statistical process control (SPC). Rather than inspecting a product at the end of manufacture, SPC uses statistical tools to observe the performance of a process to predict significant deviations - effectively monitoring a process through the use of control charts. There is inherent variability in even a high quality product, which can be detected if sufficiently sensitive means of measurement are used. By collecting data from samples at various points of a process, variations that may affect quality can be detected and corrected. Campden BRI experts are available to help companies use SPC for a variety of manufacturing processes.

Food allergies among children have increased by nearly 20 percent during the last decade. And while the reasons for the increase are uncertain, there is no doubt that understanding the symptoms of food allergies in children can make the difference between life and death.
A case of hives is the most common symptom of food allergy, and vomiting and diarrhea can also occur. But the most serious – and life-threatening – signs of a food-allergy reaction are respiratory symptoms (such as coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath) and cardiovascular symptoms (such as lightheadedness or fainting).
Which foods are the biggest culprits? Eight types of foods account for 90 percent of all food-allergy reactions: cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, fish, shellfish, soybeans, wheat and tree nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios and macadamia nuts).
A food allergy is an abnormal immune response to a certain food involving the production of a particular type of allergic antibodies called IgE. Becoming allergic requires some prior exposure to the food, although this does not necessarily mean that the food has previously been eaten by the child. Instead, the exposure may have been through contact on the skin or through the respiratory tract.
When there is an allergic reaction to the ingestion of a food, the symptoms usually begin within a few minutes to an hour after eating. If a child is believed to have experienced an allergic reaction to a food, they should not eat the food again until evaluated by an allergist. In the case of reactions involving difficulty breathing or fainting, a call to 911 should be made immediately.
There is no cure for food allergies, although some will resolve on their own over time. The best method for managing a child with food allergies is prevention through avoidance and communication with those who care for the child.
Most incidents involving children with food allergies can be avoided by taking steps such as reading food labels and asking questions at restaurants. Parents also need to be diligent in communicating their child's allergies with the people who care for them. This includes teachers, baby sitters, parents of their child's friends, day-care workers and other family members.
Although some mild reactions such as hives alone can be treated with an antihistamine, more severe reactions involving recurrent vomiting, or any difficulty breathing or lightheadedness need to be treated promptly with epinephrine.
Caregivers of children with food allergies need to be trained on administering epinephrine. This medication is available in an autoinjector such as an EpiPen or Twinject, which should be immediately available any time the allergic child is eating any food. It should be injected into the front of the thigh immediately when serious reaction symptoms occur.
It's important to note that epinephrine will not harm the child if the perceived allergic reaction is a false alarm.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Everyone loves Warren Buffett.
The avuncular CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) is the gold standard of American investing. Buffett is the investor millions of investors want to be like.
His annual meeting is an investor's Woodstock, his annual letter to shareholders celebrated like a Springsteen album drop.
But this year is a little different. This year the hype is starting early. This year he's teasing his letter to a national magazine.
And this year it's not working.
So far in 2014 the S&P 500 is basically flat, the Nasdaq is up nearly 3%, and Berkshire-Hathaway is down 4.4%.
Has the "Sage of Omaha" lost his touch?
Over the last quarter Berkshire added to positions in Exxon Mobil (XOM), US Bancorp (USB) and DaVita Health Partners (DVA). All have been winners. Over the last six months the first two are up about 10%, and the last is up over 20%.
But, as even Buffett admits, liquidity can be a curse as well as a blessing. Having a big piece of cash to invest can make the investor a frenetic stock picker. Better to stay with what you know and buy a low-cost, broadly-based mutual fund which tracks the S&P 500, he suggests.
Doing that would have given you a 10-year return of about 61.5%. You would have lost half your stake during the crash that began in 2007 and climaxed in early 2009, but since then the index has nearly tripled in value. Patience is the lesson, your patience will be rewarded.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has been renewed for a 14th season, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
Cast member Ice-T shared the news on Twitter Wednesday. "SUPER EXCLUSIVE NEWS: SVU has officially been renewed for season #14. Tell a hater," he wrote.
Fall TV scorecard: Which shows are returning? Which aren't?
Although ratings have been down this season — the show's first without Christopher Meloni and longtime showrunner Neal Baer— a renewal was expected after Mariska Hargitay signed a new deal with Universal TV, which produces SVU, to continue on the show last month.
Showrunner Warren Leight, who introduced more personalized storytelling and newbies Danny Pino and Kelli Giddish this season, recently told TVGuide.com that he expected the show to get picked up — and that he's in it for the long haul.
Get the latest on NBC's new fall schedule
"I don't want it to be a victory lap," Leight said. "I want it to be 14 years down, seven to go, as opposed to 14 years down and it's been a good run."
SVU is the third series NBC has renewed for next season, following Grimm and Smash.
Are you glad SVU's coming back?

Cape Town, South Africa, 2014/06/05 - Manufacturers should keep end users informed of the latest innovations in electronic test equipment to sustain high growth - TestandMeasurement.Frost.com.
Efforts to widen network coverage across Africa, and upgrade 2G and 3G networks to 4G in South Africa, is driving the demand for electronic test equipment in the telecommunication sector. Telecom operators are increasingly looking for spectrum analysers to test and validate the mobile networks to improve the quality of their service as signal strength in Africa is very poor.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, African Electronic Test Equipment Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $28.3 million in 2013 and estimates this to reach $47.5 million in 2019. The study covers oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, network analysers, millimetres, signal generators, power meters, electronic counters, logic analysers, and arbitrary waveform generators.
"The growing demand for oscilloscopes, signal generators, and spectrum analysers in the education sector is lending momentum to the market," said Frost & Sullivan Measurement & Instrumentation Research Analyst Janani Balasundar. "Market participants should roll out comprehensive electronic test equipment with multiple functionalities to cater to the needs of technical research and PhD students."
Further, security investments in the aerospace and defence industry the largest end user of spectrum analysers for frequency-monitoring applications, network analysers, signal generators, and power meters are growing the market. Heavy infrastructural investments in other industries are also fuelling the uptake of millimetres and boosting prospects for electronic test equipment manufacturers.
However, the poor economic condition and unstable currency of South Africa, a trading partner to several neighbouring sub-Saharan countries, is delaying projects and slowing down the growth of the electronic test equipment market in all of these countries.
"Electronic test equipment vendors should focus on fast-developing countries like Ghana and Nigeria, where there is great market potential," advised Janani. "They must also constantly make end users aware of the latest technologies in the test and measurement industry to strengthen their market position across Africa."

She was just 15 years old. Not necessarily the honor student or homecoming queen, but nonetheless by societal standards still a child. And while most young girls her age are consumed with passing their first drivers test, Rennie Gibbs gave birth to her first child, Samiya, who was stillborn. Now, seven years after the death of her daughter, Gibbs is facing a possible life sentence for depraved heart murder, even though her daughter never took a breath.
So how does this story of misfortune equate to a potential sentence of life in prison? Though an autopsy revealed that Samiya most likely passed away as a result of an umbilical cord wrapped around her neck during labor, it also showed trace amounts of cocaine in her system. As a result of the positive toxicity report, Gibbs was indicted by a grand jury for "unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously" causing the death of Samiya. If convicted, Gibbs will be the first woman in the state of Mississippi to be charged for a loss of pregnancy and may spend the rest of her life behind bars.
According to Pro Publica, Gibbs' case is among a trend of 'fetal harm' cases that have been occurring since the 1980's. Examples include: An Indiana woman who while pregnant attempted suicide and spent a year in jail before murder charges were dropped; a woman in Iowa was arrested and jailed after falling down the stairs and suffering a miscarriage; a New Jersey woman refused to sign a preauthorization for a cesarean section, and while didn't end up needing the operation, was charged with child endangerment and lost custody of her baby. The vast majority of cases disproportionately involve poor, young, lower income mothers that use illegal drugs while pregnant. And while the majority of these cases are an outgrowth of fetal homicide laws intended to protect pregnant women and their unborn children from violent attacks by third parties, National Advocates for Pregnant Women has found only one case of a man who assaulted a pregnant woman having been charged under these statutes. However, to date it is estimated "there have been up to 300 women arrested for their actions during pregnancy."
These cases attempt to strike a balance between the rights of the mother and the rights of the unborn child as determined by law makers, health care workers, and others. And yet, there is a since of irony in the Gibbs' situation. Mississippi ranks as the lowest state in terms of maternal and infant health- with rates comparable to Botswana and Sri Lanka. Most of these issues are attributed to a lack of resources: poor nutrition, poverty, and low education levels. Mississippi also has some of the highest rates of teen pregnancy, STDs, and the among the most restrictive abortion policies. And despite these frightening numbers, it seems like the state has been slow to remedy the situation.
The prosecutors for Gibbs case argue that the state has a responsibility to protect children from the dangerous actions of their parents. However, others fear that this case creates a "slippery slope" for young women whose babies are dying as a result of lack of resources, education, or other factors. Other advocates like Planned Parenthood, and the ACLU, argue that arrests for fetal harm "violates constitutional guarantees of liberty, privacy, equality, due process and freedom from cruel and unusual punishment."
These cases are difficult. They intersects several issues of person hood, pro choice, pro life, and privacy policies.

Headline: Immigrant Smuggling Ring Busted
Authorities in Phoenix deployed a series of raids yesterday, arresting the alleged leaders of a ring that helped transport hundreds of people to way stations in Phoenix. The authorities described this ring as one of the more complicated operations that bring thousands of people across the border into Arizona. The state has more illegal crossings than any other. Police said that they regularly find houses with dozens of people being detained by smugglers until they've paid for their passage from Mexico.
In simultaneous operation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, in conjunction with the Maricopa County sheriff, announced the arrests of more than 100 people suspected of being in the country illegally who were also on probation for various crimes. In total, the authorities made 20 arrests, including two Cubans thought to be directing the operation. They also detained 210 illegal immigrants and discovered 13 "drop houses" that serve as way stations for smuggled immigrants. In all, the authorities planned to arrest about 75 people.
What do you think about this? Are Phoenix authorities unfairly targeting illegal immigrants — or are they protecting them from exploitation at the hands of the smugglers? Are raids called for?

The concept of Reinventing Government, from the 1992 book by the same name, offers no clue about what government should or shouldn't do.
Should we try to make government better, or smaller?
Should the state introduce more creative lottery games, or get out of the gambling business altogether?
Should it improve profit margins in state-controlled liquor stores, or privatize them?
Should it try to create jobs through economic development programs, or remove regulations, taxes, and other impediments that prevent the private sector from creating more jobs itself?
Our Founding Fathers saw good government as the protector of our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness―not the supplier of our entertainment, alcohol, and employment.
Legitimate questions about the role of government get lost in the zeal to simply make it better.

Social Security questions and answers on Disability:
Social Security questions and answers on Disability:
Q: What are the requirements for receiving disabled widow's benefits?
A:You may be able to get disabled widow(er)'s benefits at age 50 if you meet Social Security's disability requirement. Your disability must have started before age 60 and within seven years of the latest of the following dates: the month the worker died; the last month you were entitled to survivors benefits on the worker's record as a parent caring for a surviving minor child; the month your previous entitlement to disabled widow(er)'s benefits ended because your disability ended. To learn more, visit http://www.socialsecurity.gov/dibplan/dqualify9.htm.
Q: I understand that to get Social Security disability benefits, my disability must last at least a year or be expected to result in death. But I'm disabled now. Does this mean that I must wait a year after becoming disabled before I can receive benefits?
A: No. You do not have to wait a year after becoming disabled. If you're disabled and expect to be out of work for at least a year, you should apply for disability benefits right away. It can take months to process an application for disability benefits. If we approve your application, your first Social Security disability benefit will be paid for the sixth full month after the date your disability began.

The first result of my hearing this was to look around to see if there was the same deal from somebody I would rather buy from ~ I try to avoid Walmart whenever possible.
Office Max has a "Black Friday" circular that lists the NT16G at $179, which is the new regular price, so that's not much of a bargain.
But then it sunk in on me that the Tablet price cut also meant a refurb price cut, and I looked and saw that a refurb NT8G is $130. I'll happily pay that much to avoid WalMart.
If there is word that Target or someone else has a new NT8G for $130 or less, that's what I'll go for, but otherwise, I'm going to upgrade from a Nook Color refurb to a Nook Tablet 8G refurb. Woot!

Reject and Protect: Tipi Presentation and March down DC
by Douglas Reyes-Ceron
April 27, 2014
Over the weekend, the alliance of First Nations people, ranchers, and farmers calling itself the Cowboy Indian Alliance held its climactic action in Washington. At itsReject and Protect encampment, the alliance held it's largest activity of the week. It put the final touches on a community-crafted tipi. It hosted a series of speakers presenting a diverse range of reasons that the Keystone XL pipeline must be rejected. And finally, the alliance delivered its tipi to the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. The encampment then marched through the streets of DC and past the Capital building. The April 26th event attracted thousands from across the country, including Neil Young and Daryl Hannah. Although the Reject and Protect encampment has come to an end for now, the Cowboy Indian Alliance will continue its actions, insisting that President Obama make a decisive move to say no to Keystone XL. You can continue to show your support by keeping up with Greenpeace and the other supporters of Reject and Protect.

We've enjoyed a few sunny and warmer days here in the Northwest. Now warmer for us is 60 degrees. I know that isn't as warm as some places but I know it is warmer than others! A little sunshine and warmer temperatures always puts me in the mood for a good salad for dinner.
Today's salad is a recipe I got from my sister in law. It has been in my pile of recipes for years and I have hung on to because I know it is a good one since it came from my sister in law! I finally decided to put it to the test this week when I need a quick and easy dinner. I was right – it is a good one.
The salad is a combination of romaine and spring mix lettuce topped with black beans, tomatoes, avocados, grated cheese and some tortilla strips. Yum! It comes together so easy and quickly. Perfect for a busy night. You could use leftover chicken or I like to quickly cook my chicken breast in the microwave using this method. You get perfectly moist chicken every time!
It has a yummy home made dressing that is made with taco seasoning mix so the salad tastes just like a traditional taco salad but instead of hamburger this one has chicken. A nice change.
Recipe originally shared at 30 Handmade Days.
For some other yummy main course salads try these:
Ginger Sesame Chicken Salad – Cilantro Lime Chicken Chop Salad – Cafe Rio Sweet Pork Salad
- 1/4 C white vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp minced onion
- 1 Tbsp taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 C cooked chicken cubed
- 6 C lettuce romaine and spring mix
- 1 to mato chopped
- 1 Can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado diced
- 1/2 C cheddar cheese grated
- tortilla strips for garnish
- Combine all the ingredients and stir to mix.
- Set aside until ready to serve
- Combine all ingredients except for chips.
- Toss with dressing.
- Garnish with chips.

How long does it take to save for a home? The answer, as it is for most things, is: It's complicated.
The time it takes to save for a home depends on where you live, how much you earn, and the cost of the home you want to purchase. To coincide with the seasonal upswing in the housing market, Movoto Real Estate calculated how long it would take for the typical home buyer in each state to save for a down payment toward a home.
To come up with our calculation, we accessed data from the United States Census Bureau to determine the median income and the median home value in each state. We then assumed that future home buyers set aside either 5 or 10 percent of their annual income. In addition, we assumed home buyers were saving for either a 3 or 20 percent down payment—the two most common types of down payments.
Unsurprisingly, the time it takes to save for a home differs greatly between states. For example, it would take 15.78 years to purchase a home in Hawaii, the longest time on our list. Conversely, it would take just 4.78 years to save for a home in North Dakota, the shortest time on our list. (In both cases, we assumed a 20 percent down payment and a 10 percent savings rate.)
To help explain our study, we decided to examine various down payment scenarios, using California as an example. If you're interested, you can read through the details below. Or, if you'd like to find information on your own state, simply input your own relevant information such as the amount you want to save and annual income into our down payment calculator.
How Long Does It Take to Buy a Home in California?
In the Golden State, it would take 13.68 years for a typical Californian to save for a 20 percent down payment on a home, assuming a 10 percent savings rate. This means a Californian looking to purchase a median-valued home will need to save $84,320, roughly $23,000 more than the state's median income.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, California has one of the highest median incomes in the country. The typical Californian brings home $61,632 annually. If our imaginary Californian is able to save 10 percent, or $6,163, each year, he or she would be able to purchase a median-priced home worth $421,600, the third largest value behind Hawaii and the District of Columbia.
Nonetheless, saving 10 percent of a paycheck can be daunting. If our imaginary Californian opts to save only 5 percent of his or her income, it could take 27.36 years to afford a 20 percent down payment. This means a Golden State resident saving just $3,082 annually would need just over 27 years to secure a home.
Some residents, however, can shorten the amount of time they spend pinching pennies for their dream home. While a 20 percent down payment is common, some qualified home buyers have the option of a 3 percent down payment, resulting in a shorter wait time. We stress, however, that not all home buyers can receive such a small rate. It's best to speak with a real estate agent to learn if you qualify.
Buying a Home with a 3 Percent Down Payment
Select Californians who quality for a 3 percent down payment and save 10 percent of their hard-earned paychecks can purchase a median-priced home in just over two years. Less thrifty Californians who save only 5 percent of their paycheck would need four years to save for a new home.
Money in the Bank
As we mentioned earlier, saving money for a home can be complicated. The amount and time needed vary greatly. Still, one thing doesn't change. Whether you live in California or North Dakota, it's a time-intensive process, and the first stop is setting a savings goal. Remember, saving even 5 percent of your paycheck will add up over time.

STATES don't yet know how much of the $6.5 billion price tag the commonwealth wants them to cough up to boost school funding, NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell says.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard wants to get all the states and territories signed up to the funding overhaul, based on the recommendations of the Gonski panel, at the next Council of Australian Governments meeting in March.
But Mr O'Farrell says that apart from the headline $6.5 billion-a-year figure, no one know how much they'll be expected to find in their budgets.
"One of the great difficulties with the federal government is to ever pin them down on numbers," he told Sky News on Sunday.
He expected the March discussions would be "difficult" because the states and territories just didn't have the extra money needed.
While the property sector in his state appeared to be picking up, he remained pessimistic on NSW and federal finances.
However Mr O'Farrell did give Ms Gillard credit for having been able to pin down an agreement with NSW on the national disability insurance scheme (NDIS).
"Like me she was pretty firm with both of our treasuries to try and get the dollars on the table to reach agreement," he said.
"It would be fantastic to do the same with Gonski but we need to start with some numbers."

Wally Burnham insists there isn't a secret recipe.
Sure, his USF defense has shut down West Virginia's prolific rushing game like no other team could, leading the Bulls to huge upsets the past two seasons.
Other coaches came to Tampa to learn his tricks, and Mountaineers coach Bill Stewart has given Burnham credit for at least three other losses he has taken this year.
Burnham doesn't like being called a defensive guru, and as the Bulls head to Morgantown today trying to upset West Virginia for a third year in a row, he said his defensive strategy has been a simple one.
"There's nothing to it. It's option defense," Burnham said. "What happened was a lot of people didn't think it was option, because of the alignments and what they were doing. They run a zone blocking scheme with option football. It was different, and you had to sit down and draw on old-school football."
Funny thing is, one of the coaches who helped Burnham figure out how to stop an option attack was Stewart.
When Burnham was linebackers coach at Florida State, he sought ways to stop Nebraska's running game. He visited Air Force, which ran the option and had Stewart as an offensive assistant.
"I learned something up there from them," he said. "I stayed up there three or four days and we exchanged ideas. People come here, we go other places to share thoughts."
Can Burnham's defense again stop quarterback Pat White, the Big East's all-time leader in total offense, in his final home game, with sub-freezing temperatures (31 degrees and snow showers) forecast at kickoff for the first time in USF history? The key, he says, is "assignment football," convincing his players to trust the scheme and not try to make plays on their own.
To counter the misdirection of West Virginia's spread offense, to guard against the instinct to swarm to the ballcarrier, USF's defense doesn't practice with a ball when preparing for the Mountaineers. The idea is to stop everyone, and that will hopefully include the guy with the ball.
"Everybody's got somebody. You have to make your assignment, make your play," defensive end George Selvie said. "(At first) I didn't know what was going on, but I finally figured it out: He could have (pitched) the ball, or he could have run it himself."
In practice this week, first-year defensive line coach Kevin Patrick got on Selvie during a play: "George, get to the ball!" The junior had to remind the coach his responsibility wasn't the quarterback, but the running back he might pitch to. The stakes are higher against a speed team like West Virginia, where one missed tackle or one botched assignment can mean a long touchdown.
As much as they hear about the past two wins, the Bulls still remember 2005, when White broke open a close game in the second half with touchdown runs of 65 and 76 yards in a 28-13 win.
"If you let him get a big play, he gets more confidence as he goes," Selvie said. "He's going to get hyped, start celebrating. He's a big-play type of guy, and if you let him, he's really going to hurt you."
USF was able to play its aggressive defense against the run the last two times because it could put cornerbacks Mike Jenkins and Trae Williams in one-on-one coverage. They're with NFL teams, so their replacements, junior Jerome Murphy and senior Tyller Roberts, have to hold their own against West Virginia's receivers.
"Our corners are going to have to do a great job," Burnham said. "They'll probably try to throw it more on us this year. But (White) is the whole deal. They've got (running backs) Noel Devine, Jock Sanders, great football players, speedy guys, but the No. 1 job we have to do is stop No. 5."
The Bulls have held White in check amazingly well — he had 17 yards on 15 carries in Morgantown two years ago and had 36 last year before being knocked out of the game late in the first half.
Keeping up with him is challenge enough to make the Bulls even change their diet.
"One of the things you have to game-plan for as a player is to cut down on extra meals during the week you're playing West Virginia," linebacker Tyrone McKenzie said. "You're going to be running the entire game."
Win or lose, the Bulls are all but assured of coming back home to play in the inaugural St. Petersburg Bowl on Dec. 20 at Tropicana Field. The bowl's executive director, Brett Dulaney, will attend tonight, according to bowl publicist Rob Sumner.

I know that most all activities (facials, massage, etc.) can resume to normal, but there is no mention of acupuncture. What are the possible effects of getting acupuncture done in the forehead after having Botox?
Can You Get Acupuncture in Forehead After Botox?
Doctor Answers 8
Botox and Acupuncture
Botox and Dysport (botulinum neurotoxin type A) reduce wrinkles by the temporary and reversible paralysis of treated muscles. I would recommend against having acupuncture treatments in an area that has been treated with Botox. As Botox diffuses only approximately one square centimeter from the injection site, any other area that has not been treated with Botox should be safe to have acupuncture treatment.

We really do not understand how acupuncture works.
It is possible that the effects of BOTOX may interfere with the effects of acupuncture. I recommend that you discuss this with your acupuncturist and see what their experience has been.

Botox and acupuncture
There should be no direct effect on the Botox from acupuncture if the latter is done a day after the Botox injections. However, as it can take two weeks, rarely more, for the effect of Botox to maximize itself, you should wait until that time so as not to confuse the acupuncture as the cause of a less-than-desirable result should it occur. Once the result of the Botox is mature and satisfactory, then the acupuncture can be done.

It is ok to have Acupuncture and Botox, just note the timing.
This is a good question, I would recommend waiting at least 2-3 weeks after Botox treatment before treating with accupuncture, so that you do not confuse the reactions to treatment. Even then, I would recommend the accupuncturist stay 1 square cm outside the treatment zone. I would speak with your accupuncturist about this as well. Good luck!
You can get acupuncture after BOTOX
You can get acupuncture after BOTOX, although it has not been studied. We have had patients who have had acupuncture after BOTOX without any problems.

Botox and Acupuncture
I would not recommend having acupuncture to those areas treated with Botox /Dysport, if it is done on the same day. However, if the acupuncture is performed after your Botox has taken effect (at least 7 days later) there should be no problem.
Can I have acupuncture in forehead after Botox injections
If you are having acupuncture to decrease headaches from trigeminal nerve brances near the eyebrows, then IMHO the Botox maybe helpful as it can relax the surrounding muscles and ease the headaches further. If you are having the acupuncture for any type of increased muscle function, or tone of the forehead, then the Botox would most likely be contraindicated as it weakens forehead muscle function. As your acupuncturist.

For his new movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Ben Stiller plays a timid magazine photo manager who lives life vicariously through daydreams and at one point in the film, we fast-forward to Walter as an old man -- a moment that also gives Ben's wife Christine Taylor a glimpse into her future.

I've gotta give the producers credit because this is some phenomenal makeup work. Instead of over-applying lots of prosthetics (think Leonardo DiCaprio in J. Edgar), they've simply aged up Ben, creating a creepily accurate depiction

DADE CITY — It didn't come down to who made the most plays Friday night at W.F. Edwards Stadium, but rather who made the longest ones.
And that would be Lakewood's Bernard Reedy.
The speedy senior do-it-all scored on a long run, a long reception and set up two other scores with long kick returns to help the Spartans beat back Pasco's valiant effort in a 36-25 win in the Class 3A region quarterfinals.
The Pirates, a year after going to the state semifinals, finished 9-2.
Reedy finished with more than 350 yards of total offense, including a 3-yard touchdown run with 55 seconds left that sealed the Spartans' victory.
"He's probably the fastest kid I've ever seen in a high school uniform," said Pasco coach Tom McHugh.
Janarion Grant, Pasco's talented freshman, may not be too far behind.
Grant caught a 61-yard pass on the second play of the game to set up the Pirates' first score, as they went 75 yards in just three plays to grab the early lead.
Brennan Allen's field goal made it 9-7 later in the first quarter, but that was the last time the Pirates led.
Trailing 22-15 at the half —Grant returned a kick 88 yards to keep the Pirates close — Pasco got a Trey Dudley-Giles interception on the third play of the third quarter, and Grant scored from 7 yards out the next play to tie it.
But Reedy caught a wobbly pass over a Pirate defender, then broke the tackles of two others to turn what looked like an interception into a 79-yard touchdown with 8:30 remaining in the third.
The Pirates went toe-to-toe with Lakewood (9-2) all night — Allen made it 29-25 with a long field goal — but it was the toe of Lakewood punter Max Thuriere that ultimately sealed Pasco's fate.
With 5:18 remaining, Lakewood took over at the Pasco 42 but was held to a three and out. But Thuriere chipped a 35-yard punt down into the corner and out of bounds at the 2, crippling the Pirates options on offense.
"That hurt," McHugh said.
With no choice but to throw and under heavy duress, Pasco's D.J. Clower fired incomplete twice and scrambled for a short gain, and the Pirates had little choice but to punt from their own 7 with 2:42 remaining.
Reedy returned the kick 39 yards to the 16 before punching in the final score four plays later.
The Spartans defense was as blitz-happy as advertised, harassing Clower into one of his worst games. After completing his first pass, the Pirate senior missed on his next seven tries and finished 3-for-16 for 92 yards. He was also sacked seven times.
"Our guys said all week, let's have a party at the quarterback," said Lakewood coach Cory Moore.

VeloGuy here; Does anyone know what round this is. This whole affair is starting to look like a 15 round heavyweight fight. Both fighters so tired that they have their hands down, and their faces totally exposed. Welcome my friends to the Cycling Circus.
Team Tinkoff Credit Systems stated in a press release Wednesday that it would not only pull Jorg Jaksche and Tyler Hamilton from participation in the Giro d'Italia "due to the new circumstances and decisions made public in the last few days," but that it would also suspend the duo from the team in light of recent developments.
The team said the "decision is also aiming at relieving pressure created around the Giro, that will start Saturday, and on the team itself after the statements made by all the other teams" to not allow the start of any riders implicated in Operación Puerto.
Hamilton and Jaksche's suspension period is indefinite. It will remain in effect until "the competent authorities will have finally sorted out all the implication of the riders in Operación Puerto." Operación Puerto broke nearly a year ago, yet most implicated riders are still facing an uncertain fate.
The names of both have appeared on the list of riders who have allegedly had contact with Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes, the man in the center of an ongoing blood doping case.
Hamilton was hoping to use the Giro as a major comeback race. The winner of the 2004 Olympic time trial served a two-year suspension for blood doping prior to returning early in 2007 to competition.
The team said it is supporting the decisions of UCI President Pat McQuaid and Giro d'Italia race organizers to fight doping by suspending Hamilton and Jaksche as well as Danilo Hondo.
Hamilton and Jaksche join a list of other riders pulled from the Giro including Ivan Basso, Michele Scarponi, Constantino Zaballa, and Ruben Plaza. Basso has confessed to "attempted doping," and Scarponi has signed a confession with CONI.
Director of the Giro d'Italia Angelo Zomegnan has asked the UCI to provide a list of suspects in Operación Puerto and also requested that none of them compete in the Giro.
According to the AFP, Rome prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into doping in cycling. They have requested files for the Basso and Scarponi cases.

Dorsey Interchange groundbreaking likely topic at Grass Valley council
April 9, 2013
In what will be the formal first step of Grass Valley's upcoming signature project, a ceremonious groundbreaking has been scheduled for the Dorsey Drive Interchange Project at 6 p.m., April 29, between Joerschke Drive and Spree Avenue.
In addition to constructing the new Highway 49 entrances and exits at Dorsey Drive, the estimated $25 million project consists of widening for an additional lane on Dorsey Drive from Catherine Lane to Pampas Drive, realignment of Joerschke Drive and improvements on Dorsey from East Main Street to Pampas Drive to include bicycle lanes, sidewalks and accessible bus stops.
The project will also likely be touched on at Tuesday's Grass Valley City Council meeting during a scheduled review of the Nevada County Transportation Commission's upcoming projects.
Several other items on the agenda for Tuesday's meeting are administrative in nature, such as reviewing an agreement with Nevada Irrigation District for water supply and setting the date for a joint meeting the planning commission to discuss zoning and annexation of more than 400 acres of land on either side of Highway 49 along on the southern border of the city's limits.
Perhaps the heftiest of the matters before the council Tuesday will be its mid-year budget review.
Council is also slated to consider a $210,000 loan from the City's Program Income Business Revolving Loan Account to Sergio and Elena Martignago, owners of Sergio's Cafe.

Currently located at 154 Mill St., the owners seek the loan to relocate and expand their restaurant business to 109 Mill St., formerly Karma Coffee, according to a report to the council prepared by Jeri Amendola, the economic development coordinator.
Consideration of the loan will be an uncommon proceeding as only two council members do not have a potential conflict of interest because of their business ties to the downtown area, Amendola's report notes. In the event of multiple conflicts of business, the three members who would otherwise have to abstain from voting draw straws to determine who weighs in to achieve a quorum.
Council is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Grass Valley City Hall, located at 125 East Main St. An agenda can be found be by clicking HERE.

Reports: Isis may have tried to ransom reporter
(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - There are reports that the Islamic terror group Isis may have tried to ransom reporter James Foley.
The New York Time reports a source close to the Foley family says Isis was pressing the U.S. to pay millions of dollars for his release.
But the U.S. does not negotiate with terrorists.
We have since learned U.S. troops were sent on a mission to try to rescue Foley and other hostages earlier this summer.
They were not at the location intelligence had identified.
Foley was taken prisoner back in 2012 while covering the war in Syria.
His family says he felt compelled to be there to be a witness to history.
Meantime, the president strongly condemned the murder carried out by Isis.
"Isis has no ideology of any value to human beings. Their ideology is bankrupt," said President Obama.
Despite threats by militants to kill more American hostages in Syria, the U.S. launched a new barrage of airstrikes in Iraq against the militant group.
The president says there are no plans to scale back its mission.

Four million dollars from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund bought at least 385 acres for Richmond National Battlefield Park, a purchase that preserves hallowed ground and is seen as economic development for tourism.
"Tourism is one of the top economic drivers in Virginia and in communities throughout the country," Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Wednesday during a ceremony in Richmond, Virginia. "These acquisitions, funded by fees from offshore oil and gas development, will enable us to preserve two key battlefields of the Civil War and help draw more visitors and jobs to the area. This is a win-win situation for everyone."
The acquisition was hailed by Civil War Trust officials, who have worked the past decade to preserve additional lands vital to the national battlefield.
"Setting aside federal funds for battlefield preservation will create a lasting legacy of the Civil War sesquicentennial commemoration, one that will live on far beyond our lifetimes," said James Lighthizer, the Trust's president. "Today's announcement will ensure that some of the most hallowed ground in America is protected for future generations to visit, learn from and enjoy.
"There is no higher recognition of a battlefield's indelible link to our past than its inclusion within a national park. Today's announcement from Interior Secretary Ken Salazar means that historic Civil War battlefields around Richmond will be fully integrated in Richmond National Battlefield Park, enhancing tourism and creating new jobs in time to commemorate the events that took place 150 years ago this spring and summer."
Richmond National Battlefield Park was designated in 1936 and "contains 13 individual park units commemorating the numerous battles fought over the Virginia capital from 1862 through 1865," according to the Trust. "Although the park's congressionally authorized boundary extends to 7,100 acres, only about 30 percent of that area is currently protected by the National Park Service. "
The announcement also was portrayed as part of the administration's efforts to put Americans back to work and strengthen the U.S. economy by promoting the United States as a tourism destination.
In January, President Obama launched the creation of a Travel & Competitiveness Task Force to promote domestic and international travel opportunities throughout the United States, thereby expanding job creation. A particular focus of the Task Force is on strategies for increasing tourism and recreation jobs by promoting visits to our national treasures – including our national parks, wildlife refuges, cultural and historic sites, monuments and other public lands that attract travelers from around the country and the globe.
Joined by Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis, Secretary Salazar made the announcement following a town hall meeting that attracted more than 100 Richmond area tourism and business leaders. During the meeting, participants shared ideas, success stories and challenges, and best practices in promoting battlefield and heritage tourism – including that related to the Civil War – in the Richmond area.
"The history of Virginia is the history of our country, and we want all Americans, and visitors from across the world, to come to the Commonwealth to learn about this incredible history," Governor McDonnell said. "Richmond is home to some of the most historic events in our country's narrative, and this partnership in preserving more of our battlefields will ensure that future generations are able to learn about our past and inform the future of this great country. Tourism also supports jobs across the Commonwealth. In 2010, tourism in Virginia generated $18.9 billion in revenue, provided $1.3 billion in state and local taxes and supported more than 204,000 jobs. In these difficult economic times, these investments in our history will also pay dividends to our future by putting more people back to work."
The land preservation announcement also builds on work undertaken by the Civil War Trust over the last decade to preserve Richmond's Civil War battlefields. The land to be preserved with the new funds lies primarily on the Glendale and Malvern Hill battlefields, both of which figured prominently in the summer 1862 campaign by Union Gen. George B. McClellan to take the Confederate capital.
"The events that unfolded on this landscape are as important as those that took place in Gettysburg and Manassas," said Park Service Director Jon Jarvis. "What happened here changed how this war would be fought, and what it would be fought over. Until now, this has been little understood because there were few places preserved to tell that story and they were disconnected from one another. That changes today."
The $4 million will acquire at least 385 acres, much of which lies on the Glendale battlefield. Until now, Glendale has been inaccessible to visitors. With these preservation funds, the battlefield will be almost entirely preserved and the area will be made accessible to visitors for the first time.
Nearly 23 million people visit Virginia's 22 National Park Sites, with out-of-town visitors contributing $493 million to local economies and supporting 7,000 private sector jobs. At Richmond National Battlefield Park, for example, out-of-town visitors contributed more than $8 million to the local economy in 2010, supporting more than 130 jobs in the community.
Following the announcement, Secretary Salazar also attended a ribbon-cutting to unveil new exhibits at the Glendale Visitor Center. The center is located inside the historic lodge of the Glendale National Cemetery, which includes the final resting place for more than 1,200 Union soldiers, most of whom fought in the battles of Glendale and Malvern Hill. The first floor of the lodge was retrofitted to contain interpretive exhibits that highlight the stories of the Glendale and Malvern Hill battles.

Does any mistakes in my code?My english is very poor,and I'm sorry about that.I hope I describe this problem clearly.
there is no code in method flush.maybe,this is the reason.
I still don't know the reason, but I found a way to solve this problem.that is calling the fcloseall ( or _fcloseall) function.
Error 24 is too many files open.
Virtual Void wrote:
yes.But I don't use the function like fopen or fopen_s in my code.I'm afraid something wrong in cocos2d-x eng.
fcloseall returns the number of files closed. Do you want to check how many?
yes,I have already done it.
I called it every game round,and it returned about 300.
_fclose may cause anothor problem. Some useful file stream was closed, and then game will force close.

About Ruben's Mexican and Seafood Restaurant
It wasn't until I moved to beautiful Bakersfield that I learned about the Christmas Tamale. I found out shortly after moving here that the tamale is the tasty relative to the other Christmas traditional food like the fruitcake or egg nog.
Yes the winter holiday season which is nearly upon us is the time of tamales. The tamale is actually part of the Mexican celebration of Las Posadas which commemorates Mary and Joseph's search for shelter on the eve of the birth of Jesus. And in case you haven't ever had the chance to partake of these delicious morsels, the tamale is (corn) masa and meat wrapped in a corn husk and then steamed. Yummy! Makes me hungry just writing that sentence.
The tamale is like has all the perks that of the holiday pie. They travel well and are a self contained delicious treat. You could pack up some tamales and some holiday pie and hit the road for a holiday travel extravaganza.
Or you could take advantage of today's deal and get into the holiday spirit without leaving town or spending time packing up the car. Get $20 worth of food for $10 at Ruben's Mexican Restaurant and Seafood. They have full menu of delicious Mexican food and tasty seafood. Right here in Bakersfield for your enjoyment. Sure some foods travel well but isn't it nice sometimes to enjoy it right where you are?

Authorities are searching for the men involved in three armed robberies and one attempted robbery earlier this week.
Two armed robberies occurred at convenience stores, as did the attempted robbery. One man was held up by a robber as he was leaving his home, a report said.
Deputies responded to reports of an armed robbery at the AMPM Gas & Grill, 1553 Lynwood Dr., on Monday. A store employee told deputies that a man walked into the store about 10 p.m., pulled out a handgun and demanded money.
A fast-moving low-pressure system out of the Mississippi River Valley brought freezing rain to Lancaster County on Thursday morning that caused havoc for drivers on county roads.
National Weather Service meteorologist Shawn Smith said the area was under a winter weather advisory until 10 a.m. Smith said the freezing rain was the result of precipitation, several days of cold weather and cold air extending to high altitudes.
The city of Lancaster has begun the process to find Hugh White's successor.
White, who has been the Lancaster Police Department chief for 11 years, announced last week that he will be stepping down soon. His retirement will become effective next month.
A day before the city announced White's resignation, the five-day period began in which current city employees could apply for the job. City policy allows in-house applicants to have first consideration, said City Administrator Helen Sowell.
That application period ran from Dec. 8 to Tuesday.
Two homes were destroyed in separate fires only hours apart over the weekend.
A Lancaster man told Lancaster County deputies that he and his family returned home from eating dinner late Saturday night when they noticed fire coming from the roof of his house at 958 Rock Hill Highway.
He immediately called the fire department and then ran to the back of his house in an attempt to turn off the house's main breaker, an incident report said.
Zion, Van Wyck and Riverside volunteer fire departments responded to the scene.
The local Habitat for Humanity still needs help to try to match a generous pledge before the end of the year.
More than a month ago, an anonymous local donor told Habitat for Humanity that he would donate $10,000 to the organization, just as long as the group can raise the same amount through donations.
The goal has not been met yet, said Habitat board president Doris Hood. She wouldn't say how much has been raised thus far.
Dec. 31 is the last day to donate to this particular effort.
Water gushed onto several county roads early Tuesday morning after someone opened the valves on at least five fire hydrants.
Deputies responded to the Foxbrook Circle area at 1:20 p.m. Tuesday because of a report of water leaking into the roadway.
A nearby resident told the deputy she had seen a man next to the hydrant with a wrench in his hand. After seeing her, the man got into a dark colored car, which had four fog lamps on its roof, and left the scene.
New District 4 Lancaster County school board member Bill Sumner was sworn in during a brief ceremony before the start of the board's monthly meeting Tuesday night.
Sumner was elected in November in a special election to replace former board member Dr. Peter Barry, who died in September.
County Clerk of Court Jeff Hammond administered the oath.
On Dec. 9, the U.S. Department of Defense announced its decision to base many of its new F-35 fighter jets in South Carolina. Two training squadrons and three operational squadron, almost 90 new jets, have been designated for Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
That's great news, especially given South Carolina's current economy. The new jets will mean hundreds of new jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in new construction projects for the state.
The finest in Lancaster High School fall sports was in the blue and gold spotlight at the annual Bruins fall sports awards night in the LHS auditorium on Monday night.
A host of athletes in LHS fall sports earned honors in six varsity sports.
KERSHAW – The town of Kershaw has received federal funding that will allow residents in the southern part of the county to have better access to low-cost health care.
Kershaw is the recipient of a $465,300 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), which is given by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The S.C. Department of Commerce, which administers the grant program for the state, announced the award late last week.

The 2014 Samdec Security Lakeland Stages Rally 2014 takes place tomorrow, organised by Enniskillen Motor Club it is the only forestry round of the Northern Ireland Championship this year and it is being staged in the Club's 50th year.
The organisers have put together a terrific rally both in terms of value for money and in terms of the stages on offer with 44 stage miles on the loose covering eight stages some over 10 miles long with no stage used more than twice and some 20% used only once and one stage has not been used in 24 years.
Included in the top entries, three Kellys; fans' favourite Frank Kelly in his 'Baby Blue' Ford Escort Conor in his rapid Nissan plus Donagh Kelly in his Ford Focus WRC.
Coming all the way from Atlanta, USA is Patsy Keenan in his Mitsubishi EVO 9 and lending an international flavour to this event.
Local Mitsubishi EVO driver Jonny Leonard will be a real dark horse and can be counted on for a podium finish at the end of the day.
Other local crews include Scott Thompson and Darran Flanagan in their newly-built Corsa which performed faultlessly for them on the recent Sunset Rally.
Another innovation introduced this year is that Trophy Rally Rules will apply which will permit a crew to rejoin the second leg of the event after an early mishap.
A very popular move by Enniskillen Motor Club repeated from 2012 is that cars up to 1650cc will run at first on the road.
Rally HQ is The Enniskillen Hotel and the Service Park and Scrutiny venue will be the old Grosvenor Barracks on the outskirts of Enniskillen with rally programmes available there also.
Rally fans will be able to see their heroes up close at Scrutiny this evening from 7-9.30pm and tomorrow morning from 06.00-08.30.

DDOT's Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Division has a universal impact on almost every infrastructure project that DDOT has a hand in.
The QA/QC Division operates as the spine of DDOT's road management system, shouldering the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the city's infrastructure by ensuring that all materials utilized in DDOT-related construction projects meet the standards established by the District and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
Before DDOT, or DDOT contractors, use any material in the construction projects involving bridges or roadways (eg, asphalt, metal used for beams, concrete) it must first past the muster of a test or review by the QA/QC division. The division serves as DDOT's auditor of the materials that the agency and its contractors use and ensures that the substance of the city's infrastructure can stand the test of time.
In addition to testing the materials that the agency and its contractors use, the division conducts geotechnical studies, troubleshoots problems related to roadway and bridge construction projects and resolves citizens' concerns about roadway vibration and drainage issues.
The Wheat from the Chaff
Several buildings off of the McMillan Reservoir, near Howard University, serve as the QA/QC Division's laboratory and testing facilities. One of the structures, a square warehouse fronted by a large garage door, was built by industrious members of the division in the early 1980s, and houses machines that test the dexterity of concrete used in construction around the District.
In this building, engineers test "wet" samples of concrete that are slated to be used in construction projects, and analyze cylinder-shaped samples of concrete that are usurped from finished roadway and bridge projects. These "core drill" samples are usually taken once every 50 cubic yards to ensure the uniformity of the quality of the concrete used in a project.
Nearby, engineers operate specialized machines that test another ubiquitous material used in construction: asphalt.
As is the practice in the division's concrete tests, QA/QC engineers test asphalt samples that are taken before and after the materials are installed.
In the lab, the "aggregate" (asphalt's rock base) and the "binder" (the oil-based sludge that holds asphalt together) are mixed and subjected to a gyratory compacter that spins the compound to produce a condensed cylinder of material that is comparable to asphalt that is crushed into the street by an asphalt roller (pictured above). Hot asphalt samples taken from the field are also burned at 1,000°F, to separate the aggregates from the binder, and subjected to a variety of tests.
These tests–like all of the experiments the QA/QC division performs–ensures that the District is getting an adequate return on what it spends on infrastructure and that DDOT, and its contractors, are using the appropriate materials to keep the District's streets safe.

LONDON – An exhibition in London and an accompanying book are giving people a glimpse inside a typical Japanese home, which the author believes may dispel some Western notions.
Inge Daniels, an anthropologist at Oxford University, has studied 30 families in the Kansai region and is presenting her findings to visitors at the Geffrye Museum in London via the recreation of a modern family home in "At Home in Japan."
She wants to give the British public a more rounded view of how ordinary Japanese live and move away from the minimalist images of homes as portrayed in interior design books, for example.
"I got frustrated by the stereotype of exotic Japan in the West, which has been internalized by some people in Japan," Daniels said. When I first visited Japan in 1992 I tried looking for these exotic homes and realized they were not typical."
Explaining the reasoning behind her research, she said, "I wanted to learn about similarities between homes in the West and Japan and also differences, but I didn't want to make this an exercise in voyeurism, either."
Visitors get the chance to walk around an open-plan lounge, dining room and kitchen (an "LDK"), a Western-style room, a bathroom and traditional room with tatami.
Daniels and the staff have painstakingly tried to represent every aspect of the Japanese home, complete with a Japanese-style mailbox and even a fire bucket. Many of the items have been lent by the families who participated in her book: "The Japanese House. Material Culture in the Modern Home."
One of Daniels' main findings is that Japanese homes, which are generally smaller than those in the West, are overwhelmed by the accumulation of items, especially gifts.
The well-established gift-giving culture has accelerated with the rising standard of living since the 1970s, she says.
The presents can range from small souvenirs to larger items such as kimono, dolls and furniture which are given to people at certain points in their lives.
Daniels said that in the past, people were more able to dispose of unwanted gifts by passing them on to neighbors and other close family members.
But due to the loosening of these ties and because presents are now more durable, householders find themselves hoarding more unwanted and unused items. As a result, they have to find new storage solutions or move to bigger homes, which is not always easy.
"Japanese do have real anxieties about getting rid of unused gifts that have spent a long period of time in their homes because they are seen as being objects which you should care for. By contrast, British people will only generally be concerned if the item has a sentimental attachment."
However, Daniels says Japanese are increasingly finding ways to divest themselves of these unwanted items by selling them at specialty shops, bazaars and flea markets popular with foreign residents.
The academic was also struck by the fact that homes normally have a lifespan of about 40 years before they are torn down and rebuilt, in part due to earthquake regulations and the primacy put on new rather than old.
"At Home in Japan" will run at the Geffrye Museum until Aug. 29.

Caring for Umbilical Cord
Baby Wellness: Caring For Umbilical Cord
Unless a lotus birth is the plan of action, a mother will have to tend to her baby's umbilical cord until it detaches on its own. Typically cut in the hospital immediately after birth, the cord is clamped and quickly begins to shrivel into the newborn's belly button. The appendage usually falls off between 10 to 14 days after birth but can last longer in some cases.
Until then, parents should simply try to keep the bloody stump clean and dry. The best way to achieve this? Sponge baths. Avoid submerging the baby in a full tub and limit cleanings to sponge baths. If the cord appears dirty, a q-tip or damp cotton ball will do the trick.
