Neuropathy Due to Chemotherapy
I have neuropathy in my feet from my chemo. Is there anything to help with this?
Christina Bach, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine, responds:
Neuropathy can really impact quality of life during and after certain types of chemotherapy treatments. The symptoms of neuropathy often improve, as patients are farther out from last receiving chemotherapy. It is important to talk with your care team about this symptom, as there are some pharmacologic interventions, including Neurotin and Cymbalta, which can help with neuropathic pain. You may also want to consider complimentary therapies, such as acupuncture and reiki, as these have been shown to improve pain in patients with neuropathy. Vitamins and antioxidants may also be helpful.
Be sure to check out the resources on oncolink.org about neuropathy management. There are also great resources on livestrong.org.

Investing in Girls' Education Delivers Results (Infographic)
Download: English
Did you know that some countries lose more than $1 billion per year by failing to educate girls to the same level as boys? Or that womens education has prevented more than 4 million child deaths in the past 40 years? Or that investing in girls education could boost agricultural output in Africa by 25 per cent?
This new infographic reminds us that when we FAIL to invest in girls education, millions of girls and women are locked out of opportunities. But when we SUCCESSFULLY invest in girls education life expectancy increases, women earn more, and economies prosper. See how the Global Partnership for Education is delivering real results by investing in girls education.

The 2009 Sustainable Tourism Report is predicting a dramatic rise in development tourism, particularly in Africa, as a drive by tourism donors to use tourism to achieve the Millennium Development Goals gains momentum.
The report says "Numbers of disadvantaged countries can, at least be assisted with development tourism, which, properly instituted, can help to generate quick and sustainable economic benefits. The natural partners for these activities are the various new forms of voluntourism and the movement for travel philanthropy. There is no reason why this activity could not address, even in part, the food, water and population challenges that less developed countries face."
Voluntourism and Travel Philanthropy currently appear to be niche growth areas within the travel industry and under developed countries could certainly benefit from an influx of tourists who would not demand high quality accommodation and sophisticated services, but who would also provide assistance and bring much-needed foreign currency.
Donor-funded tourism development appears to be able to assist in the achievement of the following MDG's:
• Poverty Eradication
• Universal Primary Education
• Environmental Sustainability
• Gender Equality
• Child Mortality Reduction
According to the Overseas Development Institute and the World Bank, tourism brings
• Direct effects - such as employment earnings (tourism is a labour-intensive activity and uses a high level of unskilled and semi-skilled labour). Tourism can be a big employer in urban, and coastal areas and, possibly the only one in rural areas.
• Indirect Effects - occur through the tourism value chain, including inputs through food and beverage, construction, transportation, furniture and many other sectors. This inter-sectoral impact adds an extra 60-70% on top of the direct effects.
• Dynamic Effects – tourism development can affect the livelihood strategies of local households, the business climate for small enterprise development, patterns of growth of the local or national economy, and the infrastructure or natural resource base of the destination. Tourism also tends to employ a relatively high proportion of women and to purchase products, such as food and crafts, produced by women in the informal sector – and, as a result, may be able to enhance women's economic positions and help overcome gender barriers.
The report is priced at:
Commercial entities & NGOs: UK£200, US$300, €240
Students & educational establishments: UK£100, US$150, €120
Any one of the 12 sections may be purchased individually at UK£25, US$38, €30 each.
VISION on Sustainable Tourism readers can benefit from a 50% discount on the above prices for orders made by 3 April 2009 ONLY

We Try the New Bacardi Light Strawberry Daiquiri
I have nothing against strawberry daiquiris. When made right, they can be delicious: start with a real, old-school daiquiri (that is, fresh lime, light rum, a little sugar). Muddle some strawberries in. Heck, I think you could probably just throw all that stuff in a blender—even using frozen strawberries—and it would be good. Rum is good. Strawberries are good. Lime and sugar are good.
But the bottle of new premixed ready-to-drink Bacardi Light Strawberry Daiquiri that arrived at my doorstep the other day? Well, it had rum. The other stuff was a bit more unclear. "Natural flavors, certified colors, and artificial sweeteners." The color: an orangey glowing pink. The scent: strawberry bubble gum and cotton candy. Forgive me for being fearful.
Premixed cocktails are tricky to do right. Citrus flavor often comes out oily and lacks the bright acidity that is needed to cut through sweetness. Artificial sweeteners are even harder to make delicious.
But Bacardi does an ok job. The premixed cocktail, poured over ice, has more tartness than I expected, moving it toward balance. The berry flavor even almost-works: I could believe that it's not that far off from what you'd get with frozen strawberries. But then there's the hit of alcohol (at 25 proof, you taste it more than you should) and the lingering weirdness of artificial sweeteners. The aftertaste is similar to sugar-free gum, and if you don't mind that, you won't mind this. But I have to believe there's probably a tastier way to drink your 34.2 calories for 1.5 fluid ounces.
Have you tried the premixed Bacardi cocktails? Are any of the Light options worthwhile?

Persinger's response to the Swedish experiment is here:
There's always to two sides to a story.
When meditating there is a release of endorphins in the brain that would explain the feelings that people have.
It can also be produced with music. I could see where there could be a possibility that Persinger's helmet would trigger that same release of endorphins.

Okay *clears throat:* In a world where bad shooting and lead changes are not excepted in the first three quarters of a basketball game. One man, one desire for lead changes; scoring in down-to-the-wire basketball games; fans hailing the eminence of this scoring deity by chanting the three letters M, V, and P and the rest being history. Carmelo Anthony stars in: "Crunch Time." In theaters tonight. This little made-up movie trailer guy monologue summarizes what Carmelo Anthony exactly did in the 4th quarter. But first: With a Loveless, (and I don't mean loveless as in being lonely, I mean without Kevin Love. Sheesh) Timberwolves team that's whiter than white bread (Timberwolves-being-white jokes commence!), the Knicks still had a difficult time trying to get past the pack of Wolves. The Knicks looked cluttered in the first quarter. In a quarter where Alexey Shved was indeed Shveding if you will, you're not going anywhere. The Knicks ended up losing that quarter, 29-22 because of slow defense. Same thing in the second quarter. Even Shved was turning into J.R Smith on one possession. It was all kinds of WTF and crazy. When the Knicks switch their assignments, I would gag. The Knicks did improve in the second, but were still outplayed by two points, trailing 55-46 at halftime. But the Knicks limited the Wolves to 18 points in both second half frames. When Carmelo Anthony hit a three to propel the Knicks into a 88-86 lead in the fourth, that was the only the Knicks second lead change. Then, Melo exploded in the final minutes of the fourth. Like their game against the Bulls, the Knicks played some crummy basketball, except, tonight they won and had couple of lead changes unlike having no lead changes against Chicago. It certainly is a recent Knicksian trend. Here are some notes:
- Bow down to Carmelo Anthony's fourth quarter brilliance, and definitely not his three other quarters performance. It was a rough and bumpy ride for Melo. His first half basically made everyone's eyes burn because he missed a ton of shots. Going into the third quarter, Melo missed went on a dismal stretch missing 10 straight shots, and feeling like he had to do everything he could to get to the tin. After many drives to the rim with no fouls calls, Melo used his vexation towards the refs, hence getting tagged with a technical foul, and thought that "hmm…why not erupt in the last three minutes of the game?" I'm thinking that the adrenaline shot Melo took in the locker room at half didn't kick in till those last three minutes. And so it did. After drawing the foul on Andrei Kirilenko and converting the and-one, Melo was instantly fired up. There wasn't a case of YGTMYFT (you got to make your free throws), as he hit 10-11 from the line, the majority of them being in crunch time. Melo may have been pissed the whole game, but in the end, being pissed in the last three minutes is what made the Knicks win. Melo ended up scoring 19 of the Knicks' 23 points in the 4th quarter, screaming this in the final minutes.
- There's Good J.R Smith and then there's Bad J.R Smith, but this new breed of J.R Smith showed up called Godlike J.R Smith. Earl gets the superlative for best first three quarters performance before Melo decided to explode. Amazingly, he lead the team in assists with 7, leading me to believe that he was Rondo for a day and even almost turned into "Pistol" J.R while attempting to throw a no-look behind-the-back touch pass to Tyson Chandler. The play wasn't successful, but if that play was finished, I would of ripped off my shirt like Bruce Banner would when he turns into the Hulk and yell out a happy "GOOD J.R." But you know what made me turn into the Hulk? When J.R Stiemed Greg Stiemsma, or simply, the J.R Smith posterization of Greg Stiemsma. There was one moment in the fourth quarter where Alexey Shved just took the ball from J.R and hit a three. But I forgive you, J.R. The Russian guy that looks like Tom Green didn't prevail after all. Also, the Godlike version of J.R is All-Around J.R.
- Raymond Felton didn't have a bad scoring night, scoring 15 points. He scored the first 5 Knick points, including an and-one. Although he didn't make half of his shots, s'all good, Ray, but coughing the ball up 4 times . Back in the second quarter, Ray performed an awesome spin move on Dante Cunningham. Ray's stat line is a little strange. Along with his 15 points, he had only 2 assists and 2 rebounds. He should have at least a couple of more assists, but they were negated by misses. However, Ray was essential in the perimeter defense, holding the Wolves' guards to an 18-49 shooting night.
- Tyson Chandler had a solid game. He played a key role in draining free throws, going 8-10 from the line. He almost had a double-double (16-9). On pick and roll attempts, Tyson was stopped as the role man for the most part, but as I stated with his free throw stats, he got to the line many times and converted. The Wolves pretty much prevented Tyson from getting to the hoop as the roll man, but Tyson did well enough in other areas such getting to the line when the Knicks needed the points.
- The most recent Jason Kidd fad is snagging rebounds rather than hitting spot-up threes and dishing assists. It sucks not seeing J-Kidd not excel at his spot-up three prowess. It's safe to say that he's been going through a three shooting slump. The spot-up shooting is on standby as of now. But hey, I'll take 6 rebounds from J-Kidd anytime. Hopefully J-Kidd's regression will disappear soon.
- Where in the world is *deep monotone voice* Ronnie Brewer? I don't like using the word regression, but I'm gonna use it again. Ronnie Brewer is the regression extraordinaire for the month of December. Brewer is shooting 27% from the field and an abysmal, repulsive 18% from the perimeter. The lockdown periemter defensive prowess is no where to be found. CAN WE HAVE NOVEMBER RONNIE BREWER BACK, PLEASE? I GUESS THAT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE. This essentially sums up the month of December for Ronnie Brewer.
- Putting Steve Novak on shooting guards and stronger power forwards than him leads to automatic baskets. Has Mike Woodson figured this out yet? Actually, putting Novak on anyone is like trying to drive a stranded car on a parkway. His lone shot was an on-the-line two. I'm scared. Pretty skeptical about Woodson not putting in Chris Copeland for Novak at any point in the game.
- No Chris Copeland allowed, apparently.
- Kurt Thomas had a 1.000 TS% on 2-2 from the field along with a 200 offensive rating. Uh huh. And having Kurt on Nikola Pekovic made me go like "huh?'
- Pablo Poopioni. The Prigs-Kidd-J.R-Novak-Kurt lineup may be the slowest unit ever in existence, unless someone has a counter for an even slower lineup.
- Please get well soon, Sheed. And Marcus Camby too (ARGGGGGGGGH).
- Mike Woodson almost got ejected for a second straight game. Luckily, he only got one technical. Woody's been very feisty lately.
- James White, the dunk contest is almost here.
- Walt Frazier called Alexey Shved "Shred." This kind of shred? Also, Al Trautwig called Nikola Pekovic "Nikolai" as in Nikolai Volkoff.
As bad as the Knicks played, and as cliche as it sounds, a win is a win. In the last 4:20 of the fourth quarter, the Knicks outscored the Wolves 14-6. In yet another game where god awful officiating occurred, the Knicks won this time. One half of the K.G.B was shut down, and the other was sort of. Andrei Kirilenko fouled out and was shot down with his nickname, while Alexey Shved tried playing hero-ball by shooting threes that didn't go in, an airball being his final shot. J.J Barea didn't cap off a barrage of threes and flops. Nikola Pekovic's hook shot was dominating Tyson on a few possessions and his double-double (21-17) proves it. Pek was a menace under the glass, 6 of his rebounds being offensive. Ricky Rubio got 17 minutes of burn, but was quiet and coughed the ball up 5 times. Same with Luke Ridnour, except he didn't turn the ball over once. The Wolves' three guard rotation was tamed. The Knicks' three guard rotation from the other night against the Bulls can probably compete against that unit. Meanwhile, Dante Cunningham was killing Steve Novak (well, ain't that a surprise?) from the outside and had acquired the Nikola Pekovic rebounding gene by crashing the glass posting a double-double (12-10).
The Knicks are now 20-7. They are now en route to Los Angeles where they will face the Pringles guy for a second time this season on jolly ole Christmas Day. If Dwight Howard kills Carmelo Anthony on a hard foul, then I'll deem him evil, not that he isn't already. Merry Christmas Eve! Oh, and don't forget to blast all the Trans-Siberian Orchestra you can.

I know, I know. People are sick and tired of me blogging about flu shots. But, hey, it's my blog and I'll write what I want to - HA! Anyway, here's another chapter in the ongoing saga of the flu shot story arc.
When we last left flu shots, they were being celebrated as not having a shortage. I remember even one source touting that there would a "record" number of flu vaccine available for this year's flu season. So, all is well and good, right?
Apparently not. As fast as our dear friends in the press are talking up the flu shots, the tone this week has changed. According to this article from the Seattle Times, they ask this question, "Is the flu shot benefit overstated?"
The benefits of flu shots for elderly people have been greatly exaggerated, according to researchers at Seattle's Group Health Center for Health Studies and George Washington University in Washington, D.C.I made reference to questionable data in my previous post. Apparently, these researchers are pointing out questionable benefit data for elderly patients to receive the flu shot.
"We find it peculiar that the claims that influenza vaccination can prevent half — or more — of all winter deaths in elderly people have not been more vigorously debated," wrote Jackson and Dr. Lone Simonsen of George Washington University, the lead author of their report, "Mortality benefits of influenza vaccination of elderly people: an ongoing controversy."So, in a week or two, the positive spin for flu shots will begin again. And, then the week after that, there will be negative stories again. Sure, this sells papers and gets ratings. But, how are patients supposed to decode all this conflicting and confusing information? That's easy. Make an appointment with your physician to talk about it.

Contemporary reflection on the reinvention of democracy and compatible lifestyles is found to be fundamentally linked to the debate between "proceduralists" and "communitarians." This article aims to weaken the hegemony of this polarity, arguing for the development of the modern Western world as a result of the world's three great subjectivizing languages: the language of interest, of reason, and of affect or sentiments. Furthermore, it argues that only full understanding of the language of affects, or sentiments, can lead to real (or total) comprehension of the modern experience of Iberia-America, especially the process by which Brazilian society and its democratic potential have been constituted.
Palabras clave : Democracy; Languages; Iberianism; Social theory; Political culture.

House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson says Congress may be forced to allow farm programs to revert to "permanent" law if the Bush administration remains unwilling to forge a compromise on the 2008 farm bill.
Acting Agriculture Secretary Chuck Conner and other USDA spokesmen have said they will recommend President Bush veto either of the House- and Senate-passed farm bills because both would raise taxes and neither contains needed payment limit reforms.
"All three of us — the House, the Senate and the administration want to get this done," said Peterson, who has met with Conner and other administration officials several times in recent days. "The White House says it wants a bill 'sooner rather than later. But it has not been willing to move on these key issues."
Speaking to reporters on a telephone conference call Tuesday (Jan. 22), Peterson said that if the House-Senate conference committee reconciles the House and Senate bills by March 15, the date the extension of the current law runs out, he would prefer not to send the bill to a certain presidential veto.
As a result, he said, House and Senate agriculture committee leaders have been looking at other options aimed at breaking the logjam that threatens to prevent farmers from having a new farm bill by planting time for the 2008 crops.
"We believe that a long-term extension of the current law — the 2002 farm bill — would not be good because of issues with the decline in the baseline," he said. "So we've been investigating the possibility of going back to permanent law."
Peterson was referring to the fact that if Congress takes no action on commodity support before the beginning of the 2008 harvest, the nonexpiring provisions of the Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1938 and the Agriculture Act of 1949 take effect.
That's because each of the farm bills that has been enacted since the 1940s, including the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, have been passed as amendments to those two acts; that is, the permanent farm law.
Under the acts of 1938 and 1949, loan rates for some of the row crop commodities must be set as a percentage of parity, a term used to describe a formula that gives a unit of the commodity the same purchasing power it had in the 1910-14 time period.
Nonrecourse loan rates, which are the chief price support mechanism in those acts, could be as high as 90 percent of parity but not less than 50 percent of parity for wheat, 65 percent for cotton and 50 percent for corn, according to a paper prepared by the Congressional Research Service.
(Although parity has not been used in farm bills for years, USDA is required by law to calculate parity prices for each crop. As of November 2007, the parity price for wheat was $11.10 per bushel; rice, $30.10 per bushel; corn, $8.24; sorghum, $7.90; and cotton, $2.10 per pound.)
The law would require acreage allotments and marketing quotas be implemented for wheat and corn. Under the parity formula, loan rates for eligible commodities would be significantly higher than current loan rates and until recently for the market prices for the program crops.
"The loan rate for wheat would be $8.32 per bushel and for corn $4.12, which are actually below the current markets for those crops," said Peterson. "The only eligible crop that doesn't fall into that category would be cotton, which would have a loan rate of $1.32 per pound.
"But the time for a referendum on establishing the acreage allotment for cotton for the 2008 crop has passed so that would not come into play immediately," Peterson noted.
"If we get pushed against the March 15 deadline, we would send the farm bill to the White House, and the president would sign it or we would go to permanent law," the Minnesota congressman said. "It would be as simple as that."
Row crop farmers currently are making decisions based on the markets and not on farm programs, said Peterson. Thus, passing a farm bill in time for planting the 2008 crops is not as time sensitive as in previous years.
"Cotton prices are not faring as well as the other crops," said Peterson. "But many cotton farmers are looking at switching to corn and soybeans instead."

The herb is indispensible in many cuisines, but some folks are genetically predisposed to dislike it.
Some love it, some hate it. Cilantro is a bold customer, a fern-like green herb with a vivacious flavor profile that either tempts or offends.
To fans, the taste is an alluring mix of citrus and parsley-like flavors draped in a peppery scent. To cilantrophobes, that feathery leaf grown from coriander seed tastes disgustingly soapy.
According to studies by Charles J. Wysocki of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, some folks are genetically predisposed to dislike cilantro. Culinary icon Julia Child despised it.
Yet I've seen some haters create a cilantro comfort zone with long-term exposure. My sister-in-law Sue Young and I taught cooking classes together for two decades. She disliked cilantro so much that when she bought it at the supermarket, she gloved her hand with a plastic bag to avoid having to touch it. My brother George, Sue's husband, adores cilantro.
Sue used the hated herb atop George's salads and in ethnic dishes for cooking classes in which cilantro was indispensable. Now after years of eating a little here and a little there, she tolerates it. Her perception has changed. She eats it judiciously in dishes she loves.
Cilantro is an essential part of many cuisines, especially in Asia and Latin American. From Bangkok to Bombay, from Sichuan province to the Yucatan Peninsula, cilantro stands up to the heat of chilies and spices.
Chef and restaurateur Jet Tila, host of "The SoCal Restaurant Show" on KLAA/830 AM radio (Saturdays, 10:30 a.m. to noon), specializes in Asian cuisines and has an appreciation for the role cilantro plays in many dishes.
"I love cilantro but am sensitive to those that have the 'gene' and believe cilantro tastes like soap," he says. "But it's integral in Southeast Asian cuisines. It's a foundational herb like lemongrass, galanga and kaffir lime."
Cilantro offers a cooling balance to spicy cuisines, but it is also delicious in mild-mannered, fire-free dishes, too — roughly chopped and sprinkled on sliced tropical fruit, tossed in green salads or stirred into soup.
It has different names, which can lead to confusing ingredient lists. Cilantro is the Spanish word that is most commonly used, but if you're using an old cookbook or one that is published outside the U.S., it might be referred to as Chinese parsley or fresh coriander or coriander leaf.
To capture the most flavor-bling, add cilantro to cooked dishes just before serving. And to keep cilantro fresh and crisp, rinse it in a large bowl of cold water when you get home from the market. Drain it well in a colander, wrap it (still damp) in paper towels and place in a loosely sealed plastic bag; refrigerate it in the crisper drawer.
Here are some easy-to-make dishes that showcase cilantro. And if you don't approve of my cilantro appreciation, you can view some powerful herb venom of like-minded palates on the "I Hate Cilantro" Facebook page.
Meanwhile, I'll take a seat with the cilantro eaters.

Alex Fallstrom tied the game at three midway through the second period on his fourth goal of the year (Gil Talbot).
Highlights: Men's Hockey vs. St. Lawrence, Jan. 26, 2013
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard men's hockey team battled back from a pair of deficits, but it wasn't enough as the Crimson fell to St. Lawrence, 4-3, in overtime Saturday evening at Bright Hockey Center in an ECAC Hockey contest.
The Crimson fell behind 2-0 and 3-2 and rallied to tie the game each time to extend the game to overtime. However, in the extra session, George Hughes found the back of the net to drop the Crimson to 5-13-1 on the season and 3-11-0 in conference play.
Freshman Jimmy Vesey scored two goals, and senior assistant captain Alex Fallstrom tallied one to pace the Crimson offensive attack. Colin Blackwell and Brian Hart both assisted on Vesey's two goals, while Tommy O'Regan and Luke Greiner also picked up helpers.
Both teams got off to a slow start in the first period despite an early power play for the Crimson.
The Saints struck first, as sophomore Patrick Doherty sent home a rebound in front of the net with 11:50 remaining in the opening period. Less than 2 minutes later, St. Lawrence's Greg Carey converted a cross-ice pass from Kyle Flanagan in a delayed penalty situation to push the advantage to two.
Following a successful penalty kill, a power-play goal by freshman Jimmy Vesey, his ninth of the season, helped turn the momentum Harvard's way with just over five minutes remaining in the first.
Despite giving the Saints four power-play opportunities, the Crimson was able to even up the score at three in the second period.
Just 11 seconds into the second period, the Crimson's top line struck for the third time in the last two nights. A long pass from Hart off the face-off found Blackwell near the goal, who delivered to Vesey . The freshman buried the puck into the top of the cage to even the score at two.
St. Lawrence continued to put pressure on Crimson netminder Ralphael Girard, earning two penalties and holding a 5-on-3 advantage for 30 seconds midway through the frame. The Crimson was able to kill off both penalties to keep the score tied.
While Harvard was able to keep the Saints off the board early in the period, Jeremy Wick backhanded a trickling puck into the net to restore the SLU advantage.
Harvard didn't take long to respond, as Alex Fallstrom ripped a rebound off a blocked shot by Tommy O'Regan to even the score again.
In the third period, the Crimson came out of the locker room firing, but a flurry of shots in the opening minutes just missed giving Harvard its first lead of the night.
The Crimson had its own 5-on-3 opportunity, skating with two extra skates for two full minutes with just under three minutes remaining. Despite the disadvantage, St. Lawrence was able to keep Harvard at bay and extend the game to overtime.
SLU maintained possession of the puck for the majority of the extra session, and it paid off with 1:23 remaining in the game when George Hughes blasted a shot from the top of the left faceoff circle to give the Saints the critical two points in ECAC play.
Harvard will look to rebound when it travels to RPI Feb. 1. Puck is set to drop at 7 p.m.

I have good news for all of us who don't look like Ryan Gosling or Gisele Bundchen: your dog doesn't care. Dogs are much more interested in our smells than our looks. Just watch a dog with his head out a car window-nose forging ahead. Wind brings innumerable scent molecules directly to the dog's face, which in the dog's world, makes for a pretty good day. * You might look like a one-eyed pig, but to your dog, it's your bouquet that makes you beautiful.
A Beautiful Sight to Sniff
Unlike us humans who preoccupy ourselves with visual landscapes, dogs smell their vistas. Maybe you've had the experience of walking a dog when all of a sudden the dog gets hooked on something. Even though that something is completely out of range and invisible to you, the dog's behavior indicates, "What I'm checking out is really interesting. We are not going anywhere, buster."
To get inside your dog's world, you need to pick his brain-and his nose. Dogs have much more nose than us humans. Their extensive olfactory epithelium allows them to trap and assess odor molecules at concentrations of up to parts per trillion, while we are more in the range of parts per million. Yep. I said trillion. Their noses are about a million times more sensitive than our noses. Often, our brains can't register what they whiff.
On top of that, dogs' noses come equipped with a vomeronasal organ (unfortunately, it's not a musical instrument). The vomeronasal organ has tons of receptor cells that take sniffing to the next level. It is thought to be important in detecting species-specific information such as pheromones. While our understanding of dog olfaction still has a long way to go, we do know that yes, your dog is getting quality information from that other dog's behind, face and urine.
Smell Games
If you're starting to look at your dog as one big nose, you're in good company. Many of the folks working with dogs or researching dog behavior and cognition remind dog owners that smelly (or smelling) experiences are integral to a dog's "good life." In the spirit of picking your dog's nose, here are four ways to give your dog the gift of smell:
1. Take your dog on smell walks
In Inside of A Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know, cognitive scientist Alexandra Horowitz recommends accompanying dogs on smell walks. She explains:
"[Dog]-walks are often not done with the dog's sake in mind, but strangely playing out a very human definition of a walk. We want to make good time; to keep a brisk pace; to get to the post office and back."
Dogs don't care about "making time." While walking with the dog's nose in mind might alter total distance traveled, you and Bucky can bond over quality olfactory experiences. In a smell walk, Bucky might sniff as he likes, choose the direction of the walk or linger to get to the bottom of a particular smell. What else might you provide on a smell walk?
2. Consider smelling sports
Taking a cue from drug sniffing dogs, K9 Nose Work has recently become a formalized fun activity and a favorite of many companion dogs and owners alike.
You don't have to turn your dog into a narc to get into smelling sports. It's about "getting your dog excited about using his nose to seek out a favorite toy or treat reward hidden in one of several boxes." (K9 Nose Work)
The game can then be expanded to include entire rooms, exterior areas and even vehicles. Of course, scent work can be conducted in less formalized ways. Don't be afraid to get creative with smelling sports. One man's narc is another man's truffle pig.
3. Make up your own smell(y) games
Have you ever put your dog's olfaction to the test? After being out of the country for a year, my friend and I wanted to see whether her dog would remember me. Our sneaky setup was unscientific and simple: Millie and her owner would walk down the street, and I would walk past them, coming up from behind and not interacting in any way, to see whether Millie paid me any mind. As I walked past, Millie turned toward what could have just been another stranger in NYC, and gave one of those glorious welcomes that says, in not so many words, "YOU ARE HERE! YOU ARE HERE! IT'S YOU!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!"
It's possible this is more of a game for my friend and me than Millie. Still, it's a reminder to us humans—who often need reminders—that the nose is a great way to connect with a dog.
4. Make your reunion smelly
Try making "smell" a priority when greeting dogs. While most people don't overtly sniff and greet, we need to keep in mind that Scruffy's schnozzle is her window to the world. You want to keep that window wide open, not close it.
It goes back to our different biologies. When we people walk into a party, most of us look around, see who's there and then make the next move (either toward a friend or toward the bar). For dogs, "looking around the room" is easier done with the help of olfactory investigation because visual cues could be misleading. Who hasn't been confused when meeting a friend with a new haircut/glasses/facial hair/gorilla suit?
With dogs and their wonderful snouts, they don't have to worry about mistaken identities. Sight can be confusing, but a smell check can set things straight! That's the way you'd do it too, if your nose were a million times more powerful than it is.
Take a look at a reunion between a dog and a member of U.S. military returning from deployment:
When the dog initially sees the owner, we don't see a "YOU ARE HERE!! EXCELLENT!" response. With only visual cues readily available, the dog doesn't seem to "see" his owner. Instead, the dog shows:
- Tail low and tucked
- Low posture
- Moving toward yet away
- Barks more in line with "stranger" than "happy"
The owner then provides the dog a hand for sniffing, and after olfactory investigation, the dog shows a proper display of, "IT'S YOU!! IT'S YOU!! YAYAYAYA!"
Does this video surprise you? And just as important, do you give your dog opportunities for olfactory exploration during greetings?
Sniff Time
There are things out there in the world that you might not notice and can't understand but that your dog is very in tune with and would like a closer look (oh please!). And these things have nothing to do with whether you are Ryan Gosling (but if you are Ryan Gosling, feel free to give me a call).

* Wind can play a part in scent detection. A recent paper exploring directional tracking in dogs notes that the researchers laid trails at a "ninety degree angle to the direction of the oncoming wind to reduce the possibility of the dogs using airborne scent to determine directionality." It's easier to attend to a scent if airborne scent molecules are flying directly into your face, like a car ride.

I suppose every day is potentially skunk season, but right about now things start to heat up. Mating season is upon us, so skunks are on the move a bit more than usual.
I have been reminded as such by a faint funk in the garage every morning this past week.
I learned a serious lesson several years back when the dog got a direct shot to the face, and we had a lingering stench that was other worldly.
Skunks are mostly nocturnal, nomadic and solitary…except during their mating season. We don't see them too often, and when we do, it is usually road kill this time of the year.
When it comes to the striped skunks in our area, their general behavior consists of sleeping in some sort of den during the day.
We have had skunks at the farm take up residence in old fox dens, groundhog holes and in the barn.
Skunks are typically active from dusk to dawn, which is a little odd because they have poor eyesight. They have a good sense of smell, however, and rummage around at night for a meal of small rodents, grubs and other meaty insects.
A rotten stump with a host of living creatures working to expedite the process of decay is a treat if you are a skunk.
Several years ago (probably the same year Buck got skunked in the face), we had a skunk that would cruise around the house every evening.
We would go from window to window trying to catch a glimpse of the resident skunk rummaging in the mulch, and when we finally caught a glimpse, we were struck by the fact that "our" skunk was nearly all white.
So it is not that they have white stripes but rather two black bands on their sides that are more or less there!
This white skunk was probably a female because she was a regular. The males are the ones really on the move and as such the ones that get hit by cars more frequently.
Females usually stay within a half a mile of their den, and males push on nightly in search of love.
Males are polygamous, so the females end up being the sole caregivers of their litters that average one to eight babies.
Baby skunks, called kittens, are born in April and May with a gestation period that lasts about 63 days, so if you do the math, most skunks are pretty busy right now.
Here are some things to be aware of if you know you have skunks in your area:
§ Skunks have abnormally large musk glands on both sides of their rear end. The musk has an oily component to it, so it sticks.
§ Skunks have amazing accuracy when it comes to fending off those that threaten them. They can hit their mark perfectly at 6 feet and have generally good aim up to 20 feet.
§ If you come across a skunk and she starts stamping her front feet, run. Just before they release their musk, they give a warning stomp, rise up on their front legs, lift up their rear and, bull's-eye, you've been skunked.
§ If you receive a direct hit, it is not comparable to the general skunk smell. Rather the stench is a combination of burning rubber, sharp, fresh garlic and a little sulfur.
The animal lives up to its Latin name, Mephitis mephitis, which translates as "bad odor, bad odor."
If you do get a hit, the best a mixture for a wash is a quarter cup of baking soda, 2 tablespoons of Dawn dishwashing detergent and a pint of peroxide.
It works better than most other concoctions we have tried.

"And the word of the Lord came unto me in the tenth month in the government of Oliver Cromwell, in the year 1653 when I was walking among my sheep, saying, 'Thou shalt not eat nor drink for the space of 14 days anything but water. But fear not for I will feed thee with the dew of heaven and with the sweet incense of my love, and my word shall be unto thee sweeter than honey, and I will make thee to know that I am able to keep thee fresh and strong, and able to do my work without the creatures as well as with it!"
In this chapter consideration will be given to a review of the medical literature from 1967 to 1977, in which approximately 160 papers dealt in some way with the aspects of the subject. Fifty-two of these, which were felt to be the most pertinent, were reviewed by the author. For several reasons, not much information could be gained from them. Much was too scientific for the general reader, and almost exclusively the subject dealt with obesity and the disease concept
(2), not with the healing of the whole person, which is our overriding concern here. Also in this chapter is a brief consideration of the fast as it has been practiced through the ages; and there are extensive comments on the use of the fast in the therapeutic setting at Meadowlark, where several hundred guestpatients have been involved.
Few physicians have seriously considered the fast as a technique worthy of study; and most of those who did, concentrated on its used only in the treatment of obesity. Two notable exceptions, however, are psychiatrists Allan Cott, M.D., and Robert Meiers, M.D. The latter was associated with my work at Meadowlark for a period of three months and initiated my interest in fasting. Dr. Cott spent time in Russia studying the program of Professor Serge Nikoliav of the Moscow Psychiatric institute where, as of 1972, 6,000 patients had fasted under Nikoliav's direction, resulting in a very high success rate for treatment of chronic refractory schizophrenia, and without a fatality. These patients had not responded to the more usual types of psychiatric therapy. Their fasts were on water, lasted 25 to 30 days, and included much aerobic exercise in the form of long periods of daily walking.
Most attention to the medical fast has been given outside the United States. Paavo Airola's studies of the European clinics cite many successful fasts for a wide variety of human ailments. My own acquaintance with the Bircher-Benner Clinic of Zurich has been a strong incentive toward the use at Meadowlark of vegetable juices and the role of raw vegetables and fruits in the therapeutic armamentarium.
The notable work in this country has been carried on by a small group of Naturopathic physicians. Especially useful is the work of Herbert Shelton, who has been employing this modality in his center in Texas for 40 years, guiding many thousands of patients through fasts. His book, The Hygienic System, Fasting and Sun Bathing, Vol. III, is the most complete discussion of the physical aspects that I have encountered.(4)
The New Health Model
Nuclear physics and the new health model view human life with its supporting energy systems as a part of a great continuum. Health is thus seen as a mark of one's resonance with great and universal systems of energies. Disease is a sign of being out of touch. It has always been of interest to me to note that the sicker the individual, the more isolated he or she has become from family, friends and business associates. Thus the role of the physician must be to become increasingly aware of these discordant energies and their sources.
This new challenge is being met by individual physicians, most commonly outside of university settings where they are individually investigating such alternative therapies as acupuncture, homeopathy, polarity therapy, yoga, clairvoyance and psychosynthesis.
These modalities, and I now add fasting as one of the most important on the list, require establishing a contact with the patient, and the future physician accordingly must see his new role as being involved in this interpersonal relationship. He must become absorbed to the limit of his ability in the problems of his patient by listening to the words of that patient and learning even what is behind those words that possibly the patient cannot yet share. Only through this type of empathy can one get beyond the usual objective view of the results of a disease process and begin to get down to causes, many of which are frequently buried in the patient's subconscious. But by being aware, the empathetic physician can gain evidence from the tone of speech, the look in the eyes, in the gestures of the hands, and in those tears that are so obviously being held back. How often in such a time of attunement has a patient said, "I have told you what I have never before shared with anyone, not even my spouse."
To help his patients regain resonance with the universal system, the physician of the new medicine may have to look to areas not often enough considered. He should study the patient's environment, for one example. The physical body's loss of sensitive attunement may be due to such external causes as environmental sources of pollution. These might include chemicals in the air, fallout from atomic testing, more than minimal diagnostic x-ray exposure or other forms of medical radiation, long hours in front of television or microwave ovens, or under fluorescent lights. It might come from drinking fluorinated and chlorinated water, from medically prescribed as well as psychedelic drugs, from synthetic foods along with additives, and in the cases of quite a number of people, even from the artificial materials used in the clothing they commonly wear.
The fast can be most helpful in treatment of patients whose problems have such causes, for it tends toward freeing the body from having to ward off these conflicting sources of energy, and toward freeing the mind from the power of much of the negativity that is all about us today. Once freed, the patient is in a far better position than he was to use his vital energies in a constructive way and so restore homeostasis.
A person needs all of the energy he can healthfully derive, for much is required simply to break down food into its nutritive components, convert the carbohydrates and proteins into glycogen for storage in the liver, and to provide the ready energy needed for healing and optimal physical and mental functioning. type of empathy can one get beyond the usual objective view of the results of a disease process and begin to get down to causes, many of which are frequently buried in the patient's subconscious. But by being aware, the empathetic physician can gain evidence from the tone of speech, the look in the eyes, in the gestures of the hands, and in those tears that are so obviously being held back. How often in such a time of attunement has a patient said, "I have told you what I have never before shared with anyone, not even my spouse."
A person needs all of the energy he can healthfully derive, for much is required simply to break down food into its nutritive components, convert the carbohydrates and proteins into glycogen for storage in the liver, and to provide the ready energy needed for healing and optimal physical and mental functioning.
All of this should be within the awareness of new medicine, both for the physician who accepts the new challenge, and for the person who is learning to look within for his own healing powers.
We speak of the fast as being a part of the new medicine. It is a rediscovered part, for the fast as an integral part of life is as old as life itself, and its healing power is to be seen all along evolution's pathway. In the insect world, the feasting caterpillar is followed by the fasting butterfly. Then there are the hibernating reptiles and the bear who take their annual prolonged fasts. If nothing more, this indicates that fasting and stanation are not the same things. Many animals when sick know enough to stop eating, but few humans have retained this healthy insight that intuitively bids one eat or fast as the proper occasion arises and in its natural timing. As William Wordsworth so beautifully comments:
The world is too much with us, Getting and spending we lay waste our powers, Little we see in Nature that is ours . . . Yes, we are out of touch, and the fast provides an ideal setting for renewing this all-important contact. Allow me to quote from one of Meadowlark's recent fasters who began the recontact: I am awakened in the morning full of quiet expectation which was deepened by an experience as I sat on the lawn after my simple breakfast of fruit. A honeybee settled on my knee and set about his elaborate grooming of his small person. I was pleased and touched at its confidence in me and extended to him the same. I was struck by his kindness and appreciation showed in every part of his body. I watched with interest and amusement at his insect version of body awareness (referring to an exercise program of that name employed at Meadowlark).
Throughout history, at some time fasts have been used by practically every culture to bring man back in touch with his source of BEING. But unfortunately, Western religion with its only occasional use of fasting has become more and more separated from actual life on an hour to hour basis and needs once more to become interwoven into life's innermost experience, as is still taught by the Shaman of Africa and the Indian medicine man.
Reviewing Briefly Some Aspects of the Fast as Seen in History:
Jesus—"This kind (referring to the cure, probably of epilepsy) can come forth by nothing but prayer and fasting." (Mark 9:29) Before his period of temptation, Jesus fasted for forty days in the wilderness.
Pythagoras—He commanded his disciples to abstain from all things that had life, and from certain other meats which could interfere with mental perception, and to abstain from wine, to eat sparingly, and to sleep little. (Manly Hall)
Moses—In a time of drought, he fasted for forty days on Mt. Horeb.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church—Among its tenets, it views the stomach as the seat of the emotions and thus as having a marked effect on the personality. Strong foods such as meat are felt to strengthen emotional reactions and thus are seen as being related to violent behavior.(5)

Cross-functional management is essential for businesses that require ongoing coordination to keep operations running smoothly. However, the skills required to bring about consistency across functions are not easily defined and it can be challenging for new cross-functional managers to identify the parameters of their role. In addition, managing the delivery of a cross-functional operation will involve inputs from other areas of a business, so the ability to influence these areas through engagement and networking is important.
This course consists of two modules – the first, using a case study that follows a newly appointed manager, aims to develop your understanding of how the cross-functional manager fits in with an organisation and delve into the specific characteristics of the role.
The second module will provide you with a structured approach to building your network and influence to help you succeed in your cross-functional objective.

When you walk close of a npc, you'll hear he or she speak something. Press A on xbox 360 controller to see what he or she have.
To change your weapon, find the npc that speaks "change your equipment" and press the button to see what he or she have. You'll see a list.
There are very weapons here. Use up arrow and down arrow to navigate. You too can navigate using left arrow and right arrow, but i don't know that screen very well.
If you press up arrow, you'll find the low level weapons. To find the high level weapons, you'll need press the up arrow sometimes.
If you press down arrow, you'll find the high level weapons. I recommend that you use this way.
Press a on xbox 360 controller to change your weapon. I play with the mage and she use two weapons.
I think that you need press LB or RB on xbox 360 controller to change your hand. Then, you'll can change the other weapon. When you change your hand in that screen, you'll hear a sound.
I away access the city of act 1-1 to buy potions.
Explore the city until find a npc that speaks: "Change your equipment". I use him like a reference point. You need to be in the right place, that is the place of npc's speak, then:
Go to the right 16 times, then press up. Press the button of the primary attack to buy the health potion.

The Blue Devils (10-3) trailed by a 9-7 score entering the final period, but knotted the game less than six minutes into the quarter on goals by Josh Offit and Jordan Wolf. After the Red Foxes reclaimed the lead, 10-9, on Jack Doherty's fifth marker of the game, Christian Walsh found the back of the net for Duke eight seconds later to set up Lawson's game-winning tally.
"Marist did a great job today," head coach John Danowski said. "They were excited. The zone defense was terrific. Their kids believed and [Jack Doherty] was terrific. I thought Marist played great. We took a lot of shots. Their goalie played really really well. I was pleased with the fourth quarter effort and that we won 4-1. Dan Wigrizer did a really nice job in goal. We got some really timely scoring plays from some unlikely places so that was great. Overall, it was good to win."
The loss for Marist (5-4) overshadowed an outstanding performance by goalkeeper Craig Goodermote, who was credited with 19 saves on the afternoon. In the Duke net, Dan Wigrizer logged 10 saves. Now with 399 career saves, Wigrizer owns an all-time record of 29-13 between the pipes for the Blue Devils.
On the strength of Saturday's win over Marist, Duke closes out the home portion of its regular season with a perfect 8-0 ledger at Koskinen Stadium. The Blue Devils are now 58-6 at home under sixth-year head coach John Danowski.
Duke held a 4-3 advantage after one period, but Doherty scored three goals in the second period as Marist outscored the Blue Devils by a 4-1 margin to take a 7-5 lead into intermission. In the third period, the Red Foxes sandwiched single goals around a pair Duke tallies for a two-goal lead heading into the final quarter.
Walsh netted a team-high two goals and added a pair of assists for the Blue Devils while CJ also pitched in two assists. Costabile, the nation's leading scoring longstick midfielder with 38 career points on 19 goals and 19 assists, also won 11-of-20 faceoffs, collected 11 ground balls and caused three turnovers. In addition, both Brian Dailey and Tommy Patterson registered the first goals of their respective careers.
Doherty's five goals came on just seven shots while Colin Joka added three markers and Connor Rice contributed one goal and two assists for Marist. The Red Foxes primary faceoff specialist, Matt Dugan, was lost to injury in the opening quarter after winning three-of-five draws. In his absence, the Red Foxes won just eight-of-20 restarts.
The Blue Devils fired 20 more shots than Marist, 49-29, and won the ground ball battle, 34-24. At the "X", Duke secured 14 draws to Marist's 11.
With its 10th victory of the year, Duke reaches double figures in the win column for the sixth straight year and seventh time in past eight seasons. In addition, the Blue Devils are now 80-4 since 2007 when scoring 10 or more goals.
Duke takes to the road on Friday, travelling to Charlottesville, Va., to meet ACC rival Virginia. Faceoff is set for 6 p.m., and the game will be televised live on ESPNU.

It is my 2nd attempt, when i build my first archtop i simply used parabolas centered in the middle of the center line of the plate. While this basically worked, it led to a "ridge" marking the upper part of the body, and the shape is limited to a convex shape without a recurve (well, i thinned the plate a bit from the interior). I would like to learn about better and more general approaches.
Some questions: how flat is the top along the central line? I hace seen a picture of an Amati violin which was flat in the longitudinal direction over about half the body length. Jahnel shows something similar in his book on luthery, but most achtops are different.
Ho do i deal with the part of the top close to the cutaway(s)?
And ... how do i best define the height profile (along my lines A-D)

Gibson carved a symmetrical non-cutaway plate and then literally cut away the cutaway with a band saw.
Gibson historian, but I know at some point they also graduated the area of the cutaway.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop in some people after a traumatic event. It is believed to be the result of how the brain processes what has happened both during and after the event. PTSD can make someone feel like the event is happening over and over again. It can cause anger, sleeplessness, and anxiety and significantly impact day to day life. There are several different types of trauma that can lead to PTSD but adolescents with a history of sexual abuse are a particularly vulnerable group.
Researchers wanted to determine if supportive counseling or prolonged exposure therapy was more effective for helping adolescents with PTSD due to sexual abuse. The trial, published in JAMA, found that prolonged exposure therapy showed greater benefits than supportive counseling.
About the Study
The trial randomized 61 adolescent girls with PTSD to 14, 60-90 minutes sessions of prolonged exposure therapy or supportive counseling. Prolonged exposure therapy encourages participants to approach traumatic feelings and thoughts with a counselor. Repeated exposure to these feeling and learned coping skills help decrease the intensity of PTSD. Supportive therapy is a therapeutic approach that encourages and reinforces healthy thought patterns.
The severity of PTSD symptoms were determined by severity scales completed by counselors. The trial also assessed differences in patient-reported severity. The trial found that girls who had received prolonged exposure therapy had greater improvements in symptoms and severity during treatment and up to 12 months after therapy. Improvements were noted in:
- Counselor assessed PTSD severity
- Patient reported PTSD severity
- Complete cessation of PTSD
- Depression symptoms
How Does this Affect You?
A randomized control trial is considered a very reliable form of research. However, a single trial with a small group of participants does not absolutely confirm a benefit but suggests the exposure therapy may be more successful than supportive therapy. More trials will need to be done to confirm the benefits. This trial is helpful in that it isolated treatment to adolescent girls, so it may be a therapy worth trying for adolescent girls with PTSD.
PTSD is a complex health issue that involves both physical and emotional components. If someone you know is having difficulty recovering from a trauma, look for resources to help you understand about PTSD and encourage them to get counseling. If you believe you have PTSD seek counseling to help you manage the symptoms. Which type of therapy may depend on your specific experience and personality. Discuss different therapy option with your counselor or therapist. Consider trying other therapies if you are not finding benefits with your current therapy.

For Ohio University departments that use potentially hazardous chemicals and materials, coming in contact with danger can be as simple as dropping a bottle or tipping over a beaker. Cliff Hamilton, an environmental engineer in OHIO's Risk Management and Safety department, says the University is lucky to have students and faculty who are careful in their work and prevent those sort of incidents from happening.
Hamilton says while there haven't been any recent reports of chemical spills, spills do occur on occasion and the University is prepared to respond when they do happen.
Hamilton explains training is instrumental in preventing spills. Those who work with the materials, such as cleaning chemicals, are trained in how to do so. Officers with the Ohio University Police Department are also trained in how to respond to chemical spills.
Compass sat down with Hamilton to discuss what you need to know to prevent the dangers of spills and how to respond to them when they happen.
Compass: How does the University respond to chemical spills if they do happen?
Hamilton: It depends on what the material is, where it is and how much there is. If we have a spill or a release, it's usually something small—someone drops a bottle—so we have people that are trained in emergency response procedures and we have clean up supplies and spill control materials capable of responding to small spills, like a gallon jug of bleach or something like that. So most of our chemical incidents are spills of something of that nature.
When we get a call that somebody has done something, like drop the bottle, dumped a beaker of something over, we go, we clean it up, we make sure everybody's safe.
Compass: What should students and faculty do if they come in contact with hazardous materials?
Hamilton: If there's any doubt about whether it's safe to be an in area, then evacuate the area. We always err on the side of protecting people. We can clean up spills, we can do a lot of things, but we always try to protect people's health and safety.
In addition, if a spill should occur, Hamilton advises that people call Environmental Health and Safety at 740-593-1666.
Compass: What precautions should people take in preventing spills?
Hamilton suggests:
Anyone with questions about the chemicals they are using can call Hamilton, Laboratory Safety Coordinator Dave Schleter, or Radiation Safety Coordinator Alan Watts. Environmental Health and Safety can be reached at (740) 593-1666.
"If anybody has any questions or concerns, we'll be happy to talk to them," Hamilton said. "We love to talk to them before there's a problem."

One of "Orange Is the New Black's" biggest stars is getting out of prison.
Buzzfeed reports that Laura Prepon, who plays inmate Alex Vause on the Netflix series, will only return for a "limited number" of episodes in the show's upcoming second season. (The Hollywood Reporter has since confirmed the news.)
The second season, scheduled to launch next year, is currently in production in New York City, and Buzzfeed says that though Prepon is not under contract and will depart the show, the door is being left open for her to return.
But a Netflix rep tells Yahoo! TV the story is "not accurate. Our season is still developing and nothing is confirmed."
[Related: You Won't Recognize 'Star Trek's' Kate Mulgrew in 'Orange Is the New Black']
If "That '70s Show" alum Prepon is stepping out of the series on a temporary or permanent basis, it could be storyline-dictated. Her Alex is the former (and once-again) lover of Piper (Taylor Schilling), who's in prison because of a drug-related offense that happened a decade earlier when Alex and Piper were a couple.
The duo has since recoupled in prison, but the relationship hasn't been without its problems or critics. Prison official Healey (Michael J. Harney) has made no secret of the fact that he is no fan of lesbian relationships… maybe he'll have Alex transferred to another prison?
In a far less likely theory, AfterEllen.com posted a story that questions whether Prepon, a Scientologist, might be leaving the show because of Scientology's unfriendly attitudes about homosexuality.
But if she had a problem with the series content — which included love scenes between Alex and Piper in Season 1 — why would she have signed on for the "OITNB" role at all?

Meanwhile, with "Orange Is the New Black" returning with 13 new episodes for Season 2, other cast changes have been confirmed.
Uzo Aduba, who plays scene-stealing Suzanne, aka Crazy Eyes; Taryn Manning, who plays the insane Tiffany, aka Pennsyltucky; and Danielle Brooks, another scene stealer as Tasha (Taystee), were on recurring status for Season 1, but will all be promoted to series regulars in Season 2.
And more good news for fans: "Any Day Now" actress Lorraine Toussaint is joining the cast as Vee, a new inmate who ran her own drug business and used children to run her drugs.
Season 1 of "Orange Is the New Black" is streaming now on Netflix.

Tiltbillings raised a pertinent question on an old thread that can be found here: http://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.ph ... 1&start=20
The question was:
I thought this was actually a really important question, since I imagine that many of us here on dhammawheel would like to enter the stream sometime before death.Does being a streamwinner make one unquestionably inerrant in all of one's proclamations about the Dhamma? Does it make one a good scholar?
A few other questions can be drawn out from Tilt's initial ones. A few would be:
Could two streamwinners disagree with each other on aspects of the dhamma? For example, how to interpret paticca samuppada.
If streamwinners were unquestionably inerrant in all of their proclamations about the dhamma that would be extremely disconcerting in my opinion given how much dhamma is out there and how many controversies (large and small) there are about the teachings.
So let's look at what a streamwinner in the suttas has come to know and which fetters they've abandoned:
And while this explanation was being given, there arose to Ven. Kondañña the dustless, stainless Dhamma eye: Whatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation.
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html
And while this explanation was being spoken, there arose in the venerable Koṇḍañña the dust-free, stainless vision of the Basic Pattern: "whatever is patterned with an origination, all that is patterned with a cessation."
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .harv.html
So one of the basic things that a streamwinner has done is that they have understood impermanence. But does it matter what metaphysic one interprets impermanence through? For example, if one person understands impermanence through the doctrine of momentariness, i.e. that cittas and whatnot arise in discrete units, and another person understands impermanence through some conception of flow, and another doesn't care whether things are impermanent through momentariness or flow and just recognizes that everything is impermanent, can these three different people all have the dhamma-eye?"He attends appropriately, This is stress... This is the origination of stress... This is the cessation of stress... This is the way leading to the cessation of stress. As he attends appropriately in this way, three fetters are abandoned in him: self-identity view, doubt, and grasping at habits & practices."
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/stud ... ml#fetters
The fetters eliminated seem more straightforwards if you ask me with the exception of perhaps doubt. Is this doubt just about what's skillful and unskillful or is it about rebirth or is it about the fact that the destruction of passion, aversion, and delusion is possible or about all of these or what?h
Anyway, what are your thoughts? Would a stream enterer be an infallible guide to understanding exactly what the Buddha taught the way the Buddha exactly intended it to be taught or could two stream enterers disagree on a few things?

Racial Discrimination And Excessive Forceby GDN Shared Post April 17, 2009
Incident On School Bus Exemplifies Dangers Of Using Police In Schools
SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (ACLU) – In an egregious example of excessive and unwarranted use of force by police against students in a school setting, responded to an argument between three students on the bus by arresting a half-dozen black students, choking and tackling a black female student and threatening to shoot the 30 students on the bus between their eyes. The entire incident was captured on videotape by a surveillance camera on the front of the bus.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi on behalf of the six students who were arrested and their parents, names as defendants Aguilar and Holiday, the city of Southaven, Mississippi, the DeSoto County School District and school district bus drivers Mary Robbins and Belinda Heyman.
"This case is a vivid and disturbing illustration of the dangers of relying on police officers to maintain order in public schools," said Jamie Dycus, an attorney with the ACLU Racial Justice Program. "No sensible person handles an argument on a school bus by having armed police officers threaten, arrest and assault schoolchildren. What happened here was not only unlawful, but unconscionable, and those responsible must be held to account."
On August 12, 2008, an argument broke out between three students on a school bus taking DeSoto County Alternative Center students home after school. Rather than simply attempting to defuse the situation by separating the students, Robbins, who was serving as the bus monitor for the drive home, instead called the police and ordered Heyman, who was driving, to pull the bus over to the side of the road.
When Holiday and Aguilar arrived on the scene, Holiday immediately boarded the bus and verbally accosted the children, threatening to "run all your little asses in." Without making any determination as to whether any arrests were warranted, Holiday arrested the two students of color involved in the argument, telling one girl as he handcuffed her that he was going to take her "little ass down to juvenile hall." A white student who was equally involved in the argument was never arrested or charged by police, and was never subjected to discipline by the school district.
Several minutes later, after Holiday had pulled the two students he was arresting off the bus and placed them in the back of his patrol car, Aguilar boarded the bus and immediately began taunting the students by screaming, "You think this is funny?" and "Who wants to try me?" Aguilar then arrested three black students who had done nothing more than smile or laugh.
Aguilar then identified a sixth and final black student for arrest, despite the fact she had done nothing against the law. As she was walking off the bus in accordance with Aguilar's orders, she said she would be calling her mother. Aguilar responded by grabbing her by the neck, flinging her down into an empty bus seat and using the weight of his body to subdue her by landing forcibly on top of her. Aguilar then screamed into her face, "You don't talk to me like that! You don't talk to me like that! Do you understand?" Finally, Aguilar jerked the student to her feet, handcuffed her and took her from the bus.
Aguilar re-boarded the bus several minutes later and continued yelling at the children remaining on the bus, at one point screaming with his hand resting on the butt of his gun, "Y'all think this is funny? Y'all think this is funny? Wait until you get a bullet between the eyes."
