Your body depends upon B-12 for promoting normal energy levels and immune function, sound sleep, mental alertness, heart health, cell growth and repair, and normal metabolism.* Without enough B-12, your body struggles to convert the carbohydrates and fats you eat into fuel for energy.* Your circulation, adrenal hormone production, nervous system health, positive mood, memory, and mental clarity are all potentially at risk when you run low on Vitamin B-12.* As you age, your body loses its ability to absorb B-12.
VitaSorb™ B-12 Fast Dissolves deliver 10,000 mcg of Vitamin B-12 to support energy production and a healthy nervous system in a great tasting cherry flavored tablet with VitaSorb™ technology to help promote fast absorption.*

- Health Notes
Vitamin B12Vitamin B12About this Nutrient
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

My doctor told me to cut my B12 -5000 zip melt in half - that my B12 level was off the reciter scale. I did, 6 months later after only taking half, it was still way to much. I dropped down to a quarter pill 1,250mcg a day before my #'s dropped back to a good -excellent range!

April 24 2014 Latest news:
max temp: 16°C
min temp: 9°C
Laurence Klein, London24's Middlesex blogger
Saturday, June 9, 2012
There's been a lot of blather about rotation, which pretty much means resting important bowlers for unimportant matches. On 13th June Middlesex play the West Indians in a 50-over match at Lord's.
Be warned before you pay your £20 to go in, if the last couple of years are anything to go by Middlesex will be doing their bit of rotation. You'll be lucky to see anything like the Middlesex first team, with the main seamers likely to be rested and maybe a batsman or two.
Last year against the Sri Lankans the four bowlers were Smith, Ireland, Sandhu and Parsons, with Rossington keeping wicket. The previous year against the Bangladeshis Middlesex fielded two players, Thompson and Scollay who weren't actually in the squad of two-dozen-odd players, and with what the Middlesex Annual Review called '…the second eleven bowling attack'.
I don't blame Middlesex for this. Wednesday's match comes at the half-way point in the Championship and just before Twenty20 starts, so why would they do anything except rest key players, especially bowlers? Where's the incentive to take it seriously? (It's hard to believe that there's just one more four-day match for Middlesex at Lord's this season – in September.)
Tourists are not renowned for taking county games seriously either. The West Indies might want a bit of one-day match practice so we might see the front-line players, but how hard will they be trying?
And as we move to the Twenty20 mini-season, the heart sinks a little. It's not just the flummery and nonsense – the mascots, the dancing girls, the DJ with the music and the shouting – they're horrible but not the worst of it. I find the most painful thing are all those lovely June and July fine summer's days that go by empty of cricket, all day until the evening. What a waste.
My lady refused to accompany me to Lord's on Ladies' Day, continuing her consistent approach of refusing to watch any cricket.
I'm not so disappointed. When I have taken women to cricket matches - in the past, dear, in the past – it's never been successful.
On many a Sunday I've heard other men do the explanations as to what's going on, and I'm embarrassed easily enough not to want to do it myself so I probably hurry through the lessons.
I do remember one occasion, some way into a game, explaining why the off-spinner was bowling to a seven-two field.
She then asked me what the three little sticks were for. Where are the women who like and understand cricket?

Retro DVD Review: WWW – Champion v Champion
You know there are times when you buy a DVD and you put it in your collection, but don't watch it, thinking you'll get round to it at some point when you get the chance? The problem is, you buy more DVDs, watch them and the one you planned to watch in the very near future just gets forgotten about, until you see it one day and feel so guilty that you've neglected it for so long?
That's the story with me and World Women's Wrestling's Champion v Champion DVD. I bought it three years ago and always meant to get round to it, but the backlog of shows builds up and even though I had the best intentions, I never watched it. Until yesterday, when I finally slotted the disc into the player and settled down to see what I had been missing.
World Women's Wrestling came about as an all-female offshoot from Massachusetts-based New England Championship Wrestling, a promotion which has been about since 2000, and has seen wrestlers such as John Cena and Kofi Kingston wrestle there early in their careers. It has also boasted an impressive women's division back when many independent promotions presented solitary matches with a rather small roster – with IWA: Mid South being an obvious exception. On the strength of their hard work, WWW was formed in 2006, a few months after NECW created a Women's Championship, which was first held by Mercedes Martinez.
Meanwhile, over in Rhode Island, PWF Northeast also had its own Women's Champion, and both promotions agreed to co-recognise the titles, and eventually amalgamate them. When the first WWW show was held in March 2006, both titleholders were babyfaces – Nikki Roxx held the NECW Women's belt, while Ariel was the PWF Mayhem Women's Champion – though things would change before this title for title showdown… (more…)

"A great book should leave you with many experiences," Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist William Styron once said. Here, five noted authors share the life-changing wisdom they discovered inside their favorite timeless reads. By Kate Rockwood

ShoutEmbrace Individuality
I read The World According to Garp, by John Irving, the year I graduated from college, and I identified with Garp in so many ways: He wanted to be a writer, and he was trying to be an adult, but he messed everything up. However, the most memorable message from the novel was illustrated by outcasts, like the transsexual ex-football player and the woman without a tongue, who finally found a community to call home. These characters showed me that people can be accepting of each other's eccentricities, which is a big lesson to take from a book that is, in many ways, a romp. You have to give people room to be who they are and to let their true colors show.

Just Move Forward
Growing up, I lived this very small-town existence, so I adored the surreal fantasy series Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, with its walking oysters and tea-drinking hares. I remember the scene where Alice asks the Cheshire cat about which way to go. "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," he says. "I don't much care where-so long as I get somewhere," Alice replies. And he tells her, "Oh, you're sure to do that if you only walk long enough." For a directionless kid who didn't know what she wanted to do or where she wanted to go, those words were comforting. You've got to end up somewhere, so just go.
Mary Roach is the author of Stiff ($14, amazon.com), Bonk ($25, amazon.com), Spook ($25, amazon.com), and, most recently, Packing for Mars ($16, amazon.com). She lives in Oakland.
Fight InjusticeIn eighth grade, I read The Hunchback of Notre Dame. At the time, most of it sailed right over my head. But that last 25 percent was potent enough to knock me over. I had never read a book so deeply engaged with social injustice, and the abuses it depicted-by religious figures, civic authorities, and the mob-shocked me to the core. I wondered, How could such things be allowed to go on? It made me want to be a warrior against corrupt power and to give voice to the stories of outcasts and outsiders. It also made me appreciate how deep the human desire for connection is; Quasimodo's yearning to love and be loved speaks for us all. The end left me weeping, but even more important, it left me thinking, and forever changed.

Be Courageous
I grew up dirt-poor in the Dominican Republic, and when my family moved to the United States (I was six), my new home felt very hostile and cold. As a kid who wanted protection, I read Watership Down, by Richard Adams. It's about a group of rabbits who are forced from their home and encounter another warren of well-fed rabbits. The displaced animals realize that their fat kinsmen are safe because a farmer has turned their burrow into an outdoor refrigerator. At just eight years old, I realized that security is sometimes too high a price to pay for your freedom. Kindling bravery is a daily challenge: not hiding away in safety, not settling for whatever is just good enough.
Junot Díaz is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao ($16, amazon.com) and This Is How You Lose Her ($27, amazon.com), out in September. He lives in New York City and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Don't Judge
I've read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice so many times through the years. The narrator is sharp and observant: No one crosses her field of vision without being assessed, and sometimes skewered. Yet the story shows the danger of snap judgments. After their first meeting, Elizabeth and Darcy seem such an unlikely match, but their eventual marriage is based on real romance. I think that I'm a kind person, but on occasion I quickly write people off. Part of the reason I return to this book is that it reminds me to take a second look. In books and in life, you need to read several pages before someone's true character is revealed.
Gail Carson Levine is the author of 20 children's books and young-adult novels, including Ella Enchanted ($7, amazon.com) winner of the Newbery Honor Award. She lives in Brewster, New York.

Please note, the following is a review of the European version of the Galaxy Tab. The US version, now available, does not feature voice-call support. For a detailed look at the Galaxy Tab feautres and apps, check out our Galaxy Tab second-look review.
Originally Published 10/18/2010
The Samsung Galaxy Tab, spectacularly unveiled at the IFA consumer electronics show in Europe in September, is a seven-inch tablet running Google Android OS 2.2 (Froyo). It includes the Samsung TouchWiz UI upgrade, which enables applications from the Android Market -- a key feature lacking on other Android tablets -- as well as Samsung's Apps store.
The device has a TFT capacitive screen, an A8 ARM 1 GHz Cortex processor, a PowerVR SGX540 graphic accelerator and 16 GB of internal memory, with additional microSD card slot. It supports all 3G bands and has the HSDPA network connectivity option, along with Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS and Bluetooth 3.0 support.
At first glance, the Galaxy Tab is most similar to Apple's iPad, but compared to it, the Galaxy Tab has certain advantages, as well as shortcomings. At .84 pounds, it weighs nearly half as much as the iPad, which tips the scales at 1.5 pounds, the Galaxy Tab has voice call capability (though, the feature is disabled on the US Galaxy Tab) and video conferencing over Wi-Fi. This tablet also includes multitasking (a feature coming to the iPad with the iOS 4.2 update in November), and web browsing with Flash support. On the other hand, the Apple iPad has a bigger, more pleasing screen, solid aluminum body, and a hardy battery.
The screen aside, Samsung's tablet is completely crafted out of plastic, which makes it light. Its back cover is white in the standard version, with a black front. It looks quite modern, complete with rounded edges (some networks will exclusively offer the device in other colors, as Samsung announced at IFA). The tablet's dimensions ((7.48 x 4.74 x .47 inches) are ideally suited for one hand use, keeping the other hand free for key control and screen manipulation.
Given that the majority of other tablets have to be held with both hands, the Galaxy Tab looks more like a smartphone than other competitors' models. In fact, the only thing (apart from its dimensions) making differentiating it from a smartphone is the fact that users cannot make phone calls by keeping the device next to their ear. They either must use the headphones delivered with it or any other earphone set that uses a standard 3.5mm audio jack, a Bluetooth headset, or through the speaker. In fact, the only way you can't make a call with the Galaxy Tab is the traditional means of holding it up to your ear.
Four capacitive keys are located underneath the screen, which is typical for devices that use the Android OS. The first activates the menu, the second is the home key, the third is a back key, and the last button activates the search engine.
Since the device supports multitasking, a long press of the home key activates the task manager, which enables speedy switching from one active application to another.
The right-hand side includes the power button, volume control keys, as well as microSD memory card and SIM card slots. The left side includes a microphone, while the device's speakers are located on the bottom side, along with the power cord jack and an accessory slot. Accessories include speakers, a physical keyboard, car kit and others.
The seven-inch capacitive screen features WSVGA resolution (1024 x 600 pixels). The imaging is exceptionally sharp, thanks to Samsung's excellent resolution choice for this size, which delivers 192-pixel density per inch. Since this is a TFT screen, the images do not have the same quality as a SuperAMOLED screen used by Samsung's Galaxy S smartphones (which this tablet very much resembles), or the images on the iPad. Still, the imaging is above average with vividly interpreted colors, and it is highly unlikely that the users will have any objections.
When exposed to direct sunlight, the screen significantly loses contrast, but the images are still very visible and the Tab retains its pleasant display. This is why deciding on the TFT screen, compared to the SuperAMOLED was a good choice, given that the latter technology loses much of its luster in the sun.
Still, SuperAMOLED has one advantage over TFT -- it has a wider viewing angle. The Galaxy Tab's viewing angles disappoint, and any view off center will result in reduced display quality. It is plus that the device's dimensions offer one-hand usage, which means this will not be a problem, given that users will usually have the tablet directly in front of them.
The display's touch sensitivity is fantastic. The Galaxy Tab precisely registers everything you want to do, and the display keyboard is especially well realized. I was able to quickly type long messages without any spelling mistakes after a few minutes of use. This is true for using the screen keyboard in a horizontal position, as well as vertically, when the keys are significantly slimmer.

By Brian Murphy
Big East member Louisville is headed to the Atlantic Coast Conference, another blow to the Big East's foundation.
Boise State is scheduled to join the Big East in football on July 1. Since the Broncos announced they were joining the league, it has lost Rutgers and Louisville while adding Temple, Memphis and, Tuesday, Tulane and East Carolina (football-only).
Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco issued the following statement after Louisville's departure.
"We enjoyed having Louisville in the Big East Conference and we wish them well.
"The Big East has anticipated the continuing realignment that is reshaping college athletics and has already made important additions as part of our vision for the future. We will continue moving forward to fulfill that vision, which includes a strong national football conference and a strong and storied basketball conference. Big East teams will continue to compete and succeed at the highest level and, as always, will combine athletic and academic excellence. With schools stretching from coast to coast and in many of the top U.S. media markets, the Big East has become a truly national conference with outstanding young men and women competing across a full range of sports.
"We are committed to a vibrant and dynamic future for the Big East Conference."
Boise State's only response to the moves have been a series of statements from President Bob Kustra reasserting the school's commitment to the Big East.
• "We are in contact with the Big East Conference office and are evaluating the information that has come forward regarding conference realignment the past few days," Kustra said last week.
• "In following up on my statement from earlier this evening and because of a report that Boise State has been talking with the Mountain West, I want to make it clear that Boise State has had no discussions with the Mountain West Conference in the past couple of weeks. We are in constant communication with presidents and athletic directors of the Big East and we intend to strengthen our the conference by adding members who can contribute to a strong conference," Kustra said a few hours after his initial statement.
• "As previously stated, we are committed to the Big East Conference and intend to strengthen our conference with members who can contribute to a strong league," Kustra said last week.
• "Boise State welcomes East Carolina and Tulane to the conference as the Big East solidifies its membership with these additions. The Big East is proactively responding to the national changes in conference affiliations, and Boise State remains committed to building and competing in a strong Big East future," Kustra said Tuesday.
With the loss of Louisville and Rutgers for 2014, this is what the Big East divisions will look like:
West: Boise State, San Diego State, Houston, SMU, Tulane, Memphis
East: Connecticut, Cincinnati, South Florida, Central Florida, East Carolina, Temple
Note: Navy is scheduled to join the league in 2015.
Among that group, only Connecticut, Cincinnati and South Florida were in the Big East during the 2011 football season with the rest of the teams coming from the Mountain West (two), Conference USA (six) and Mid-American Conference (one).
The Big East is in the middle of make-or-break television negotiations. The contract was seen as a way to enrich the new conference members, while solidifying the league's place as the sixth-best football league in the country.
College football's new postseason structure will allow for the highest-ranked conference champion from the Big East, Mountain West, Conference USA, Mid-American Conference and Sun Belt to play in one of the six most lucrative bowl games.
So what are the Broncos' options?
• Remain in the Big East: The television contract could still generate more money than the Mountain West deal and give the Broncos greater exposure across the country. The league could still swipe a few teams from the Mountain West. The Big East has BCS AQ status in 2013 — unlike the Mountain West – so the Broncos are likely to play at least one season in the Big East.
• Return to the Mountain West: The league is willing to take Boise State and San Diego State back. It would give the conference 12 members, allowing it to stage a conference championship game and renegotiate its television contract with CBS. The Mountain West could grow even more, taking UTEP and Tulsa from Conference USA in an attempt to weaken that league. (Or it could attempt to grab Houston and SMU from the Big East.) The Broncos would also have to bring its non-football programs back into the Mountain West from the Big West.
• Go independent: BYU signed a television contract with ESPN and has been able to schedule enough attractive games to make independence work. Idaho and New Mexico State are moving to independence next season. The Broncos have always had a good relationship with ESPN and should be able to sign a decent TV deal. Scheduling and bowl agreements could be problems, and coach Chris Petersen has always valued winning conference championship.
The Broncos would have no problem getting games with BYU (already scheduled), Idaho and New Mexico State. But coming up with nine more games could get ugly.
• Join the Big 12 (or Pac-12): If Kustra isn't burning up the phones to both conferences then he is not doing his job. If only it were that easy, however. The Broncos are way down the list of teams the Big 12 would consider and the Pac-12 has given no indication that it wants to expand again. The Broncos' lack of a TV market, its overall athletic program and its academic ranking and reputation are all impediments to a move to either league. The Broncos' main (only?) selling point is a stellar football program that draws ratings and has a (limited) national following.
What do you think? What is the best option for the Broncos and what will they do?

ZIMBABWE: Zimbabwe hunt with Mbalabala & Martin Pieters Safaris

ZIMBABWE: Zimbabwe hunt with Mbalabala & Martin Pieters Safaris
31st August 2011 was a sad day. This is the day that I shook the hand of my PH Quinton Wessels and our hosts Pam and Charlie Stanton of Mbalabala Safaris for the final time as we prepared to board our flight from Bulawayo to Joburg.
14 Days of hunting in Zimbabwe in three different locations for different African species. Each day a memory that will last a life time.
Cape Buffalo and Bushbuck.
Our journey started in Bulawayo with a short drive to Mbalabala which is a small town south-east of Bulawayo and the location of a small farm owned by the Stanton family. Spending the night and getting sorted for the long drive early next morning to our first hunting location in the Omay South (north Zim).
Our camp (Manyuli) was located high above the Ume river with views of the surrounding country that one has to see to believe. This would be our home for the next 7 days and HQ for my buffalo hunt.
At this point I would like to thank Martin Pieters and the guys that run the camp for looking after us. Fantastic meals, outstanding service. Could not have wished for more.
Our plan of attack for the first day was drive around the area and look for fresh tracks. If we found spoor that was fresh then we would follow on foot. At about mid morning we ended up on the banks of the Ume river (mostly dry) and Quinton (PH) sent our trackers up and down the river to see if any buffalo had crossed. About half and hour later we standing next to the tracks of a single buffalo. As the spoor was still fresh the chase was on. Unfortunately for us the bull had chosen his resting place well, and after only a short while on the tracks we heard and sighted the buffalo bull run off. We attempted to follow, however with the wind against us (and flushing the bull once more) we decided to leave him and return in the afternoon and try again. Our luck was no better in the afternoon with the wind again not on our side, and we spooked the bull twice more without a chance for a shot. We were not see him again.
Day two turned out to be a very dry day as far seeing buffalo. We followed a couple of herds, but with the wind gusting from all directions we never caught sight of them. But that is hunting.
Day three will stay with me for the rest of my life. It has also taught me some valuable lessons. The day started out much the same way as the others. Leave camp just on daylight and look for fresh spoor to follow. At about 7:30 am we found fresh tracks (and warm dung) on the road left by a single animal (most likely a bull). Following these for a short distance we discovered that this bull was in fact following a small herd that had passed thought the area some time before him. We continued to follow. After about 1.5 hours of slowly tracking the bull and herd the spoor from the herd was getting fresh. We were also constantly checking that the bull did not leave the track of the herd. It was at this point that we reached a low hill top with a nice thick gully running down the other side (Favorite spot for buffalo). Slowly cresting the rise our tracker and game scout almost simultaneously point into the bottom of the gully. We all freeze, and after about 10 seconds I can hear large animals moving about 100 meters below us. With the wind in our favor (for a change) we slowly start to contour the gully toward the buffalo. After about 40 meters and half way down to the bottom of the gully we stop and attempt to spot and bulls that may be there. No luck the cover is to thick to see through. We very slowly sit and wait, to see if the herd will move to more open ground. After a couple of minutes sitting and listening to the buffalo moving around we suddenly see a big black head and shoulders appear from the thicket in front of us. My Ph has his binos up and I am looking at the bull through the scope. The next whisper from my Ph "Take him".
As the sound of the shot is still echoing through the surrounding hills the buffalo herd and the bull I have just shot are gone. The time was 8:00 am.
My ph turns to me and asks how my shot felt. At this stage I am confident that all is well and that my bull is dead not far away. However, this feeling is to be very short lived, and as the conversation with my ph continues the situation appears to get worse and worse. What has transpired is that I misjudged how the bull was standing and the shot has hit the bull high and to far forward (I thought he was facing us on an quartering angle when in fact he was broadside). I am still not sure how I made such a mistake? Well at this point the only good sign there was plenty of blood to follow. As we slowly make our way through the gully and up the other side it becomes obvious the bull is running with herd and the up hill terrain is not slowing it down at all. We continue to track the herd and bull till we reach the the top of the escarpment high above the Ume river. At this point the herd and my bull have gone straight over the edge into some extremely thick thorn and jesse. As we are standing there pondering our next move, we suddenly hear some crashing not far below us. After a couple of minutes we see the heard crossing the Ume river below. The depressing sight is that there is a bull bringing up the rear that appears to be laboring as he runs.
We make our way down the escarpment to try and pick up the spoor on the other side and continue the follow up. However, after searching the tracks we are unable to find any blood trail. It is at this point that we get the first break. The trackers have pointed out that the tracks of the bull we saw laboring show that he has a part of his front hoof missing (mostly like from a snare) and that they are not the same tracks as the wounded bulls. As a precaution we track down the river for some distance, in case he has crossed beyond where we could see from the top of the escarpment. Break no 2, the bull did not cross the river.
By the time we make our way back to the top of the escarpment is has been nearly 3 hours from my shot and the sun is hot. We return to where we last left the blood spoor and prepare to follow. At this point I have removed the scope from my 416 Ruger and added one extra round into the rifle (3 in the mag plus 1 in the chamber). I have also removed the sling. The plan is go extremely slowly along the spoor, and for me to cover the ph when going through bushes and other obstacles and visa versa. Quite progress is difficult due to the steepness of the terrain and by the time we reach the flat prior to the river we are all drenched in sweat.
With about 4 feet before the river bank the tracker stops and begins to look left and right. Some quite whispering between him and the ph, and I am informed that the bull has changed direction and headed up river along the thick riverine flat and has definitely not crossed.
As we start to follow again when my ph turns to me and says "Be ready this bull is going to charge". It is about this time that I realize the enormity of the situation and begin to wish I never took the first shot. For those who have hunted in Africa will understand what thick riverine bush is like and will also understand that you really do not want to be following wounded buffalo in it. However, that is exactly the situation we were in.
The next 1.5 hours is probably the longest of my life. This is how long it took us to cover the next 200 meters. At times visibility was down to 5 yards or less and if the buffalo had appeared then we would almost certainly be in trouble. However, as we broke out into some more open ground we suddenly heard the sound of labored breathing from about 20 yards to our left. It was coming from under a large thick jesse bush growing on top of a little rise. Our problem was that as hard as we tried we could not see into it. Step at a time we started to circle the area hoping to find a spot where we could see the bull. I think at this point if we had left the bull and waited he would have died fairly soon, but no true hunter likes to see his quarry suffer and since I was the one responsible for this animals suffering I was determined to see it through to the end. As we circled the rise about half way we came to small ridge running down to (no more then 7 feet in height) us with a very shallow gully on the other side of it. Where the gully ended on the rise, is where the jesse bush ended with a gap of about 5 feet to next thicket.
Unfortunately for us the bull had chosen his spot well as now we could not circle any further as the terrain started to rise back up to the top of the escarpment and also became very thick. If continued to try and get above the bull we would almost certainly not be able to see him through the bush and also may well have caused him to try and make break for it. So the only option was to inch our way up the little gully and hope we could get a shot.
Before moving on the ph pointed to a big tree and both the tracker, game scout and my wife disappeared behind. As we slowly made the little ridge before the gully my ph looking through his binos whispered "I can see hair can I shoot". I very enthusiastically nodded and was rewarded by the sound of a 458 Lott firing. Unfortunately for us my ph could not tell what part of the bull he was looking at (later turned out his bullet passed through one rear leg not far below the hip joint) as he fired. Also this had only one affect on the bull, making him get up and run out of the jesse bush and into gap at its rear. As he appeared in the gap he saw us as we both moved into the little gully and at this point turned and came for us.
He made it about 10 feet before I and the ph fired at about the same time ending the chase that started 6 hours earlier. The time was 2:05pm.
The following 3 days were spent in recovering the meat and hunting for Kudu and bushbuck. Got the bushbuck on 2 days later, but the kudu were just to smart.
Impala, Kudu, Eland.
On day 7 we relocated back south to Nicholson West to a property called Mashura to hunt for Kudu, Impala and Eland. On the 2nd day I secured a nice Impala ram. However, we could not find any kudu bulls inn the area and so it was decided that we should relocate to another concession near Bietbridge. Here on the final morning I secured a nice Eland bull. We did see about 10 Kudu bulls, however the only one that was old and large enough to shoot had one broken tip.
I would not hesitate to hunt with Mbalabala or Martin Pieters again. Both Pam and Charlie Stanton make you feel like you are a part of their family and nothing is to difficult. I would also not hesitate to have Quinton Wessels or Lindon Stanton (Pam and Charlies son) as my ph's. Both are passionate about hunting and great company on safari.

Good story of a good hunt. When your PH said that buff was going to charge, I sensed your pulse rate must have risen a notch or 2 & that odd feeling you get in your belly. The bushbuck looks a lot lighter in colour than those in SA. Very nice, congrats.

Portrait of Carolus-Duran
John Singer Sargent
American (1856-1925)
Oil on canvas
The inscription at the top of this painting says, in French, "To my dear Master Monsieur Carolus-Duran, his devoted servant, John S. Sargent, 1879." Sargent began working in Carolus-Duran's Paris studio in 1874 and rapidly became one of the master's best students. The traditional training provided at the École des Beaux-Arts stressed the importance of drawing as the basis of the visual arts. Carolus-Duran, by contrast, emphasized the importance of being able to manipulate paint in a fluid and sensuous manner, a skill that Sargent mastered very quickly. The informal pose, the freely painted hands and frilly shirt cuffs, and the light shining in the sitter's eyes all contribute to a sense of lively self-confidence in this virtuoso portrait.

text: My son in law just called and said that his pressure relief valve just blew on his boiler. We've been out of town for 4 days and he set the temp down to 60. When he got home, he fired up the boiler, then he said about ten minutes later, the pressure valve blew and he couldn't shut it off. I tried asking him over the phone if there was a shut off valve for the main water supply to the boiler and he could not find one. Water kept spewing out the valve so he shut off the main water supply from the well. There could be a number of questions here, but mainly, what controls the boiler pressure. Is it the expansion tank's pressure or something else. And are there boilers that would not have a shut off valve. He said this is a Stewart Warner system and probably fairly old.

Around Campus
David Engerman, the Ottilie Springer Professor of History, has been awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship for his achievements in historical research.
Guggenheim Fellowships are grants made for a minimum of six and a maximum of 12 months to give scholars and artists blocks of time to work on selected projects.
"I'm honored to be the latest in a long line of Brandeis faculty members to receive the fellowship," Engerman says.
Engerman plans to take the Fellowship in 2016. His project, "Planning for Plenty: The Economic Cold War in India," explores the ways in which superpower aid competition in the newly independent nations revealed important elements — and key contradictions — of the global Cold War.
"The Guggenheim Fellowship is one of the most prestigious awards in the country," says Jane Kamensky, the Harry S. Truman Professor of American Civilization. "Only four American historians received the honor this year, and it is fitting that David Engerman is among them: His book project on the U.S. and India during the Cold War represents a bold departure for him, an expansion of his compass as a scholar. The Guggenheim recognizes careers in full flower and rewards scholars and artists who take exciting risks. The Foundation could not have chosen a more deserving recipient."
Engerman is among 177 scholars, artists and scientists from 56 disciplines awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship this year, chosen from a pool of almost 3,000 applicants. Since 1925, the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation has granted more than $315 million in Fellowships to 17,700 scholars.
Nearly 100 Brandeis faculty and alumni have been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, including David DeRosier, professor emeritus of biology; Irving Epstein, Henry F. Fischbach Professor of Chemistry; Robin Feuer Miller, the Edytha Macy Gross Professor of Humanities; John Plotz, professor of English and Eric Chasalow, the Irving Fine Professor of Music.
President Frederick M. Lawrence and his wife Kathy hosted a dinner and discussion for Itzik Shmuli and Nachman Shai (Labor); Michal Rozin (Meretz); Shimon Ohayon (Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu); Shimon Solomon (Yesh Atid); and Shuli Mualem-Refaeli (Bayit Yehudi).
Joining them were Jay Ruderman '88, Barbara Gaffin '76, Alex Goldstein '06 and Michal Bineth-Horowitz of the Ruderman Family Foundation, and several Brandeis faculty members and senior leaders: Amy Sales, associate professor; Jonathan Sarna, the Joseph H. & Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History; Ted Sasson, senior research scientist; Len Saxe, Klutznick Professor of Contemporary Jewish Studies; and David Bunis '83, senior vice president, chief of staff and chief legal officer. Also attending the dinner were Brandeis alumni Jacqueline Hallo '82, Lawrence Kraus '84, Jonathan Landman '82 and his wife Joan Balaban, Eric Nadel '84, Marianne Paley '85, and Sara Smolover '82.
The Ruderman Fellows also had meetings with Governor Deval Patrick, Mayor Marty Walsh, Congressman Michael Capuano and community leaders and participated in public forum in Boston before leaving for meetings in New York.
Brandeis President Frederick M. Lawrence, Vice Provost Irv Epstein, and several current and former Brandeis students met with members of President Obama's administration in Washington yesterday to talk about Brandeis' Science Posse program.
The meeting, sponsored by the White House and the Posse Foundation, focused on the work of the Posse Foundation to increase the number of undergraduate urban students who pursue science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) degrees. It also provided a forum for the presidents from 10 universities that have a Science Posse program to discuss best practices and program-related challenges.
Joining Lawrence and Epstein, the Henry F. Fischbach Professor of Chemistry, at the meeting in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building were Nicholas Medina '14, Aissatou Ka '13, Usman Hameedi '12, Gloriya Nedler '12, and Nana Owusu '12, who shared their thoughts on being a member of a Science Posse.
Brandeis alumna Deborah Bial '87 founded the Posse Foundation in 1989 after witnessing the challenges inner-city students faced in accessing and graduating from college. In collaboration with Epstein, it created the first Science Posse program in the nation at Brandeis in 2006. Brandeis' Science Posse has served as a national model and continues to be adopted by universities around the country.

"The Unfinished Bridge: Realism and Futurity in India," focuses on literature and cultural production in India since 2000 and discusses how novels, films and television engage social concerns even as the public sphere becomes increasingly gentrified.
|Naghmeh Sohrabi
Sohrabi will use the fellowship to receive training in cultural anthropology and ethnographic research methods for her new book project about the 1979 Iranian revolution. Her book aims to capture the experience of the revolution by weaving into the existing historical arc the experience of a wide array of political actors and ordinary people who were living in Iran in the years leading up to the revolution. As a New Directions fellow, Sohrabi will be receiving training and conducting research at The Sorbonne, University of Oxford and Iran.
"Brandeis University is a national leader in STEM education that is a crucial economic steppingstone for our future workforce," said Congresswoman Clark. "It was wonderful to meet some of Brandeis' Science Posse students and see the university's commitment to access to higher education. Massachusetts is fortunate to have Brandeis as a vital partner in our continued economic and education success."
Yan Xuan, P'17, president, Greater China, for Nielsen, was at Brandeis on March 14 to talk about working and doing business in China and to share Nielsen's insights into the diversity of the Chinese consumer and media markets. More than 50 undergraduate and graduate students attended the event, which was sponsored by the Hiatt Career Center.
"There's no such thing as the Chinese consumer," said Yan. He added that marketers and companies must understand the traditional and local channels to get at the heart of their customers' motivations for spending. As the first and foremost big data company, he explained that Nielsen is uniquely positioned to provide these insights to its clients.
Yan also responded to individual students' questions about the changing media landscape in China, Nielsen's strategy for staying competitive in the future, and his own career path, including how he came to be at Nielsen. "What could be more powerful and inspirational than helping people to live a better life," he said of his work and the mission of Nielsen.
Nielsen is currently accepting applications from graduating students for its competitive Graduate Induction Program (deadline is March 31). Learn more and apply online.
Yan, who is also the father of a current first year student at Brandeis, mentioned that he hopes to create an online network of Brandeis parents living in China to share insights and advice about their children's Brandeis experiences. He invited the students in attendance to connect with him on WeChat, China's instant messaging platform.
Brandeis also provides parents with opportunities to stay connected with the University, both on-campus and online, via the Brandeis Parents Portal.
Members of the Brandeis community attended a gallery reception on March 8 to celebrate the work of Robert Moody, the Blanche, Barbara and Irving Laurie Chair in Theater Arts. They also used the occasion to thank Moody, who is retiring this spring, for his 40 years of contributions to Brandeis, the theater arts program and its students and faculty.
In addition to being recognized for his skills as a teacher, Moody is a nationally acclaimed scenic artist. Drawings, paintings and scenic artwork from his 50 year career in theatre, television, and opera are being showcased in "Work, Now and Then: Bob Moody Retrospective." The exhibit will be in the Dreitzer Gallery in the Spingold Theater Center through March 22.
With support from the Genesis Philanthropy Group and the Jim Joseph Foundation, the Brandeis Jewish Leadership Incubator (BJLI) will host a 12-month fellowship for Russian-speaking professionals who work at Jewish communal organizations in the United States and Canada. The program, designed for individuals with one to five years of professional experience, will help to develop the skill-set, knowledge, and strong network of peers that is critical for professional advancement within the North American Jewish community.
"To date, Russian speakers remain underrepresented in the organized American Jewish community — especially its leadership," said Victor Vitkin, executive director of the Brandeis-Genesis Institute for Russian Jewry. "The disproportionately low number of Russian-speaking communal professionals deprives Jewish organizations of engaging an exceptional pool of talent. By advancing Russian speakers in the professional Jewish world, the leadership training program will create important opportunities for mutual understanding and enrichment for all segments of the American Jewish community."
The fellowship will encompass intensive professional seminars, overseas educational travel and a year-long cycle of online instruction. BJLI curriculum will emphasize core management and leadership skills in the context of Jewish teaching, as well as American and Russian Jewish history. Prominent faculty from Brandeis University, leaders from major Jewish organizations, and leading practitioners in a variety of relevant fields will teach the BJLI courses and modules.
The program is scheduled to begin in January 2015. Up to 15 candidates will be accepted into the first cohort, with the goal of representing organizations from the range of Jewish communal institutions across North America.
Brandeis University is a national leader in recruiting and training Russian-speaking students for leadership positions in the U.S. and globally. Under the aegis of the Brandeis-Genesis Institute for Russian Jewry, Russian-speaking college students and young adults develop their leadership potential and enrich their knowledge of Russian Jewish heritage and the Jewish community. The Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program provides residential graduate leadership training in a dual-degree program combining intensive academics, field-based experiences, and international travel to prepare visionary leaders for the 21st century Jewish community.
"Hornstein is deeply experienced in training Jewish leaders and innovators," said Ellen Smith, Hornstein director and associate professor in Brandeis' Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies. "The Brandeis Jewish Leadership Incubator is the next important step in bringing Russian-speakers to these opportunities and networks, to the advantage of the entire Jewish community."
"In launching the Brandeis-Genesis Institute for Russian Jewry, we were looking to create systemic change in opportunities available in higher education for engaging Russian-speaking Jews in North America," said Ilia Salita, executive director of Genesis Philanthropy Group in North America. "The combination of this, now prominent, institute focused on Russian Jewry with the premier program training leaders for the Jewish community, is truly unique. As the home of such an innovative initiative, Brandeis University is exceptionally well-placed to ensure that BJLI makes a significant contribution to nurturing the next generation of effective Russian-speaking Jewish communal professionals."
"Creating more vibrant Jewish life fundamentally entails developing Jewish leaders from diverse backgrounds with the skill sets to engage 21st century Jewish communities," added Chip Edelsberg, executive director of the Jim Joseph Foundation. "The BJLI will help these efforts significantly by offering this unique leadership training program for Russian-speaking Jewish community professionals. These leaders will have the opportunity to grow together as a cohort, learn from expert instructors, and experience Brandeis University's dynamic academic environment."
Ambassador Samantha Power highlighted Mangok Bol, MS '13 in a speech on March 7 at the United Nations Security Council debate on children in armed conflict. Bol is currently in South Sudan, searching for his three nieces and a nephew, aged 2 through 8, who were abducted by militants in a raid that killed their parents.
"Our hearts go out to Mangok Bol, a former lost boy, now living in Boston, who has returned to his home village in South Sudan to try to find his nieces and nephews who've been abducted by militants from a competing ethnic group," Power told to the council.
Power's full statement can be read here.
An interview with Bol, recorded from Juba, South Sudan, aired on WBUR's Here and Now on Monday, March 10.
A fundraising site has been created to assist with expenses related to Bol's efforts to return the children to their family. Friends and colleagues can contribute online at: http://www.gofundme.com/6vxliw.
Chad Williams, chair of the African & Afro-American Studies Department, spoke at an event on Monday, Feb. 24 hosted by the White House Office of Public Engagement and held at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C.
The event, sponsored by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, featured a screening of the new documentary "Veterans of Color." Williams participated in a post-film discussion about African American veterans.
Williams is an expert on African Americans and the military. His first book, "Torchbearers of Democracy: African American Soldiers in the World War I Era," was published in 2010.
As many in our community already know, on Feb. 5 University students were injured in a pedestrian accident while crossing South Street in the crosswalk by Linsey Pool.
The safety of our community is paramount, and Brandeis immediately took steps to reach out to the City of Waltham to address safety issues in the area. We are grateful to the Waltham Police Department for their stepped-up enforcement of vehicle speed limits and crosswalk safety in the area, particularly around dusk, which have been very helpful in reinforcing to drivers and the Brandeis community that there is a need to exercise extreme caution in the area.
Ed Callahan, director of Public Safety, has met with City of Waltham officials to gain a better understanding of enhancements that can be made at this crosswalk to enhance pedestrian visibility and safety. They agreed upon a number of steps that will be taken, including:
- Enhancement of street lights on South Street from the Epstein Center to the crosswalk – in process.
- Addition of rectangular rapid-flash beacons to the existing crosswalk light poles. These beacons resemble police vehicle strobe lights and have been shown to increase drivers' attention.
- Installation of dedicated spotlights over the crosswalk.
- Installation of a motion detector light activation system, eliminating the need for pedestrians to physically push the button to activate the lighting system.
- Rapid installation of larger signs on each crosswalk pole instructing pedestrians to push the button to activate crossing lights to enhance pedestrian use of the lights prior to installation of the motion detector system.
These enhancements will be made as quickly as possible in compliance with city policies and procedures and with regard to weather conditions and the possible need for temporary street closures.
