Judi Wagner honored at global confab
At a luncheon today, the Women's Funding Network gave Denver philanthropist Judith (Judi) Wagner its Changing the Face of Philanthropy Award for her outstanding commitment to helping girls and women reach their highest level of achievement. Jean Lind Herberger of Arizona also was honored at the global conference now underway in Denver.
Wagner, said Women's Funding Network president/CEO Christine Grumm, "Models feminist philanthropy every day via her financial support of women and girls that are advancing girls and the women's agenda, and via her passion for the work. She knows that social investment in women and girls translates to a stronger community overall. She is one of the most active donors in the global women's funding movement."
The Women's Funding Network is an international organization made up of some 155 women's foundations and women's funds, including the Women's Foundation of Colorado.
Wagner is a founding member of the Women's Foundation of Colorado, and has held leadership positions in it for over 20 years. In addition, she has provided significant support to such women- and girl-focused organizations as Girl Scouts, the Center for Women's Health Research, Colorado Trust and Big Sisters.
Herberger, of Phoenix, was recognized for being a voice for women and girls in Arizona for more than 40 years; she is the founder of Arizona Women's Employment and Education, which fosters education and employment opportunities for women. And, like Wagner, Herberger has raised millions of dollars to support the empowerment of women and girls, including the lead gift that paved the way for a $10 million endowment for the Arizona Women's Foundation.
Wagner has been a Girl Scout Woman of Distinction and the recipient of Metro Volunteers' Heart of Volunteerism Award.
"This award to Judi and Jean reflects the growing power of women philanthropists as they increasingly play a leading role in directing philanthropic dollars to lifting up women and girls and, by extension, their families and their communities," Grumm adds. "It also comes as no surprise that this year's honorees both come from the American West, where vitality and innovation are reinvigorating the region as a leader in all sectors of society."

In a personal post on Google+, Google co-founder stated that a recent interview distorted his views on Internet freedom, likely because it sounded as if Brin was slamming Apple and Facebook.
I have much admiration for two of the companies we discussed -- Apple and Facebook. I have always admired Apple's products. In fact, I am writing this post on an iMac and using an Apple keyboard I have cherished for the past seven years. Likewise, Facebook has helped to connect hundreds of millions of people, has been a key tool for political expression and has been instrumental to the Arab Spring.
Instead, Brin said that the "primary threat" to Internet freedom is government censorship of political dissent. "Other countries such as the US have come close to adopting very similar techniques in order to combat piracy and other vices," he wrote. "I believe these efforts have been misguided and dangerous."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Brin states that the interview was a long one and that the interview was condensed. We at Press:Here are journalists, so we know that what the interviewee thinks is important and what readers think is important may be different. That's why public relations companies exist and why journalism is considered a separate entity -- so he's not going to get much sympathy here. However, Brin also is a celebrity with a decent-sized platform, so he can tweak his public comments at any time.

New York, November 23, 2011-- The demise of freelance journalist Rafiq Tagi in a Baku hospital today following his stabbing four days ago by unknown assailants, must be fully investigated, said the Committee to Protect Journalists.
"We mourn the death of Rafiq Tagi and our hearts go out to his family and friends," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "Azerbaijani authorities must thoroughly investigate the stabbing attack that led to Tagi's demise and bring all responsible to justice."
Tagi was known for his criticism of Azerbaijani authorities, the government's policy on Iran, and what he viewed as the negative impact of the popularization of Islam on his country's development. CPJ research shows that journalists in Azerbaijan regularly face reprisals for their reporting.

So, I have been quite for a long time, life has a habit of getting in the way like that though, I am sure if you are a regular follower of my blog(s), you know I have a tendency to pop in and out.
That said, I am doing a few things, still working on an XNA game (Killer Core) with Mark, have also been participating in an 8WeekGame competition, as well as try and port my existing XNA engine to MonoGame, and I hope this year to, again, be contributing to the fantastic Star Trek fan project ST:Excalibur.
So, where does that leave my C++ stuff, well on the back burner to be honest, but that said, it's not dead, back in November last year, I mailed someone the source for the engine (warts and all), have not heard if they have found it of much use, but it was nice to know people still have an interest in it. This year my good friend Ed has asked if I would post about what I have done with it so far, and so that's what I intend to do.
If you are interested in accessing my code directly then let me know I currently have it set up on Assembla.com, so if you are a member, let me know and I can add you and you can get the latest code as it changes.
What am I going to post about then?
Well, I thought I would tell you about the classes I have created in the engine, and explain a little about what they are trying to do. As you probably know, my background for graphics engines is in XNA, so I have tried to create an engine that reflects XNA so it's easy for me to transition to C++ and DX11, and also means that a lot of the work I have done in my XNA engine I can bring with me to C++.
We have covered the creation of devices and a window in earlier posts, so I am going to skip over that here and just go to the classes. I'll probably do a post for each class that way I can put a bit more detail into the posts (hope enough for you).

Organic Lawn Dressing
Give Your Lawn a Boost
Many homeowners' lawns suffer from poor soil conditions due to low air circulation, heavy traffic, extreme temperatures, insufficient watering or lack of fertilizer. As a result, root growth slows or becomes stagnant, causing the lawn to thin out or turn brown.
To thicken and improve the overall health of your lawn, apply
organic lawn dressing
(sometimes called
top dressing
) – a fortified mixture of topsoil, compost and other micronutrients that work to revitalize the soil. Lawn dressing reintroduces beneficial compounds that will restore the health of the soil. The results are generally visible within two weeks.
Benefits of Organic Lawn Dressing
Provides your lawn with a special mixture of topsoil, compost, and micronutrients that promotes healthier turf.
Mixes with current soils to help improve drainage, root development, and moisture retention.
Stimulates new growth.
Improves a lawn's resistance to weed infestation, insects, disease, and drought.
Weed Man's organic lawn dressing program is applied at a rate of 50 to 70 lbs per 1,000 square feet, delivering the ideal amount of nutrients without smothering the grass. For best results, homeowners should schedule this treatment in conjunction with other lawn care maintenance services, including overseeding (which further builds turf density), fertilization, weed control and aeration.

Challenge Tires Paris Roubaix Tubular
Tough rides call for tough tires, so if you're hitting the cobbles you better have Challenge's Paris Roubaix Tubular glued on your wheels. It has a wide profile to take the sting out of rough pavement and dirt roads, and puncture protection under the tread. It's hand made on their light and supple 300tpi SuperPoly casing with polyester-reinforced sidewalls, and a durable tread compound that sticks to the road in the corners. These tires also use latex tubes which are lighter, thinner, and more flexible than butyl tubes, increasing your comfort, lowering rolling resistance, and helping to prevent flats, too.
Tubular tires are compatible with tubular rims and are installed with glue or a special adhesive tape. Tubular tires will not work on clincher rims (the standard rim type). If you have any questions about compatibility or mounting, please contact us for details.

We ordered a rare primate cell line from Coriell and went about culturing it. However, a strange hair-like particle started appearing in the media of all the cells (293T, CHO, etc). At first, we didn't suspect that it was a contamination problem but it was consistently found in all our cultures. Finally, after some investigating, our lab contacted Coriell about this problem. They claim that they didn't see anything in their cultures and agreed to send us another flask, free of charge. The older lab members have told me that as soon as they received the flask, they put it under the microscope before unsealing it and saw the same exact thing. Again, Coriell didn't acknowledge the problem.
To completely decontaminate the tissue culture room, EVERYTHING was thrown out and the hood was dismantled for disinfection. There was a theory that this thing was in the incubator so we even got an elaborate new incubator that cleans itself and threw the old one away. We put in hepa filters all throughout the lab. Everything was replaced and put back. The first day that the tissue culture room was up and running, we found it on the outside of the flask. Before long, it started appearing in the media again.
I started doing work in the tissue culture room after it was decontaminated. I found it in all my cells, especially in the ones that I am performing antibiotic selections on. I don't see more than 1-3 in 1 flask so it doesn't seem like it's getting wildly out of control but it is still stressful because I don't know what effect it has on my cells. I have done a lot of cell culture work before joining this lab so I know that it isn't my technique. I've started using a pen/strep/antimycotic solution in my media and I don't see it before I passage but as soon as my cells are split and new media is put on them, I see one in there. However, it disappears before it is time to passage again. I wipe everything down with Vikron and then 70% ethanol before putting anything back in the incubator. I have 6 cell lines going and I will have 5 more soon.
We really want to get rid of this problem and we want to find out what it is exactly. I have attached a few pictures of this thing. Please help us pinpoint what it is!! Our last resort is to hire a company to come out and decontaminate the whole room using a hydrogen peroxide vapor generator. That will be REALLY expensive so obviously we want to get rid of this with a cheaper solution.
Using our brand new awesome microscope and camera, I've taken some pictures. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!! Please help us figure out what this is. Sorry for the long post but I thought it would be best to include as much information as possible. Thanks!

text: Any Ameicans on here receive a bachelors of Law from the University of London and allowed any of the state bars in America? I checked it out and their online law degree is only 1,500.00 a year. Sounds too good to be real. However, I checked out their curruculim and there is no "legal writing" class. How are we suppose to learn how to write like an attorney if they don't make us take legal writing? Am I overlooking something here? Also, I'm concerned that their laws are different than American laws, which could possibly cause a problem with passing the state bars. Anybody in the same boat?

During the final weeks of 2008, less than three months after the last big outbreak, a wave of salmonella was silently spreading across the country. Radiating outward from a South Georgia peanut plant, the microbes hitched rides in a variety of foods, eventually killing nine people and sickening more than 600 others. It was the latest chapter in what's beginning to seem like an annual tragedy, but in hindsight it was painfully avoidable.
Salmonella is one of the most common causes of food poisoning in the United States, with about 40,000 cases confirmed each year; because many milder infections are never diagnosed, however, the CDC and USDA estimate the real number of cases may be more than a million. About 15,000 of those people are hospitalized each year, and roughly 400 die. But despite its prevalence and stealth — salmonella doesn't affect food's taste or smell — the precautions to avoid salmonellosis are simple. The main ones are second nature to many: Wash your hands after using the bathroom and after handling raw meat.
Still, consumers have limited control over sanitation of food; a lot of hands touch it before ours do. We can Purell our palms dry and blacken the taste out of our steaks, but we often have little choice but to trust all the farmers, factory workers, butchers and busboys not to be lazy or careless. Global and domestic food industries feed millions of Americans every day without overtly betraying that trust, but there are always a few bad apples. And lately the bunch has been especially rotten.
Food-borne again
Major outbreaks of food-borne illnesses such as salmonella and E. coli have repeatedly gripped the United States in recent decades, part of a trend toward more widespread, if not necessarily more frequent or deadly, bacterial pestilence. Over the last four years especially, several high-profile eruptions of food poisoning have catapulted these bacteria into the national spotlight, and the most recent one has Washington buzzing about overhauling the FDA. But why are these outbreaks bigger than they used to be?
For one, the rise of big agriculture has practically set the table for them. Disease-causing bacteria and viruses thrive when one species of host congregates in high densities, and concentrated animal feeding operations offer a dream home for salmonella and E. coli. Huge farms and food-processing plants also supply a wider swath of people than pre-industrial growers did, meaning a single outbreak has a better chance of exploding into a far-reaching epidemic.
Bacteria are also becoming more resistant to antibiotics, a problem that by the mid-'90s had grown so dire the CDC, FDA and USDA collaborated to establish the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System, which tests salmonella and other microbes for their reactions to our pharmaceutical onslaught. This immunity is a result of overexposure: The more often bacteria come into contact with antibiotics, the more likely they are to develop resistance. That's because the drugs kill the most susceptible bacteria but often leave a few stronger survivors to reproduce and fill their place, creating a new generation of hardier bugs.
Large-scale agriculture may have a hand in this, too, since farmers routinely give their animals antibiotics to stop bacteria from seizing on the unnaturally high concentrations. A 2005 study blamed the emergence of a multidrug-resistant type of Salmonella Typhimurium — a common strain that caused the recent U.S. outbreak — on "modern intensified farming and food production methods and global trade with live breeder animals."
And while there's no evidence they have yet, these outbreaks could get deadlier. Because bacteria that survive antibiotics proved tougher than their fallen comrades, they may also be stronger in other ways, such as virulence. Bacteria can evolve notoriously quickly; when astronauts took salmonella into space during a 12-day research mission in 2007, it responded to the low-gravity environment by becoming three times more lethal.
Salmonella in a nutshell
The peanut plant in Blakely, Ga., had a history of food-safety problems even before its recent salmonella outbreak, ranging from aflatoxin scares in 1990 and 2001 to metal fragments in chopped peanuts last April. That the plant's owner, Virginia-based Peanut Corporation of America, was able to continue doing business despite its sordid past — even running an unlicensed plant in Texas for four years the FDA didn't know about — has led many to argue U.S. regulation of the food industry is in need of an overhaul.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture had inspected PCA's Blakely plant for several years under an agreement with the FDA, and on recent visits it repeatedly cited the facility for sanitation violations. In 2006, for example, inspectors found gaps big enough for rodents to pass through warehouse doors, five years after the last FDA inspection uncovered a similar problem. Other offenses over the years included trash and unmarked buckets in the ingredients room, mildew on the ceiling of a peanut-butter storage area, and unsanitary food-contact surfaces.
Despite its poor showings at these inspections, the plant passed the state's salmonella tests. Throughout December 2008, it was business as usual for PCA, while the salmonella outbreak kept growing and officials nationwide scrambled to track down its source. It wasn't until early January 2009 that the CDC, FDA and Minnesota Department of Health identified peanut butter as a potential culprit. The FDA sent an investigative team to Blakely on Jan. 9 and — after having to invoke a bioterrorism law to get copies of PCA's records — reported some troubling news.
According to the FDA report, PCA shipped products it knew had tested positive for salmonella on 12 occasions between June 2007 and August 2008. The company's own testing program had found contamination by several salmonella strains on its peanut butter, peanut paste, peanut meal and chopped granules, the FDA says, but after retesting and receiving a negative result, PCA shipped the product anyway. Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin has accused the company of "lab shopping" for a firm that would provide those negative results.
As PCA's legal mess drags on, the flood of new salmonella cases from its products seems to have finally waned. And now that the company has shut down all three of its plants and filed for bankruptcy protection, a chorus of consumer advocates, lawmakers and newspaper editorial boards is calling for an overhaul of the FDA to prevent future outbreaks. While PCA did break laws if the government's allegations prove true, it might not have broken as many as you'd think. A legal loophole allowed it to keep all those positive salmonella results to itself, and it didn't have to recall any contaminated products (it did so voluntarily). In fact, the FDA needs companies' approval before it can announce product recalls.
Several bills that aim to stretch the FDA's regulatory reach are already percolating in Congress, and President Obama has pledged a "complete review" of the FDA once he announces the agency's new commissioner. During a recent interview with NBC's Matt Lauer, Obama made it clear he doesn't have patience for a reflexive strategy in the war on food-borne illnesses. "I think that the FDA has not been able to catch some of these things as quickly as I expect them to catch," Obama said. "So we are going to make sure that we retool the FDA ... and most importantly, that we prevent these things, as opposed to trying to catch them after they've already occurred."

Been using one tablespoon per quart. This is the same amount as my wife uses when canning tomatoes.
Been doing it since last fall, bees like it and are wintering very well. Had good honey supply, fed syrup and fumigillin in the fall. Been feeding fondant boiled to 248F with same mixture to be sure there is enough winter food supply. Bees seem to really like the taste and have no nosema.
We use 1 quart per 100 gal. Syrup
48 oz. Per 100# pollen sub
Why do you use lemon juice?
Thanks Josh
I have just been putting in citric acid crystals in my tank. I would say about a 3 pounds to 500 gallons or so.
just enough to drop the ph to the correct level since we have very hard water.
citric acid crystals in my tank., you using tang or
I dont think there is anything magic about lemon juice. the goal is to lower the ph and this is an easy way to do. some tests show that a low ph reduces nosema. they dont know why.
keith It was brought up at our winter nys bee meeting. I think it was brought up by mary ann frazier and dave h from pa added. by memory it was a ph of 5 but not sure. that may help a little. the second part asks why commercial beekeepers do what they do. there is no answer for that one. lol
So you are shooting for a final PH range of 4.3 to 4.7 with any type of syrup of food? Is anybody doing a PH test to check their starting and ending point? Easy to do. Might Apple cider vinegar also work?
yes lemon or any a ascid drink sach as honey will help bees to dagastive the pollen easy also it help to reduce amiba and protozan sach as nosima A and C also when bees can use more pollen will produce more worker and royal jelly ,and the result is more brood production , the resan we dont have much mitabolisem disease during honey flow becuse is acid in honey provent that,
for more information go to www.caspianapiaries.com
kind regards.hossein yeganehrad
Interesting, so I should check the ph of my sugar syrup and I could add lemon juice to get the ph down to 4.5 - 5?

From the parent of a Champion
Kristina Zahn is the mother of the 2018 McMaster Children's Hospital Foundation Champion, Ethan. In March, their family joined other Champions from Canadian children's hospitals in Ottawa, where they went on an ambassador tour before joining the U.S. Champions in Orlando for #ChildrensHospitalsWeek.
Ethan was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2011 when he was seven years old. He was always a strong child but he would have to find the courage to deal with many hospital trips consisting of tests, pokes, check ups, infusions, surgeries and a life changing disease. He has grown with the support of his amazing team at McMaster Children's Hospital and they are a huge part of our life that we are thankful for every day.
In September 2017 we got a call, a day that we will never forget. The call came from the hospital informing us that Ethan had been named the Children's Miracle Network Champion Child for 2018! What did that mean? What is this program all about? What is a Champion child?
Ethan was so excited to be named one of thirteen Champion Children in Canada. What an incredible honour to be representing the kids from not only our own McMaster Children's Hospital but the millions of children across Canada. He had a lot of questions and was a little nervous at the thought of speaking to groups and sharing his story. He started his reign in January when the torch was passed to him from the 2017 Champion at our local Walmart. We were amazed at the support of the Walmart Canada employees, many who drove from other areas to come and see Ethan and hear his story. From that moment, we realized what an incredible adventure we were about to take.
The Ambassador Tour
The tour itself was something that we really have a hard time putting into words. It was INCREDIBLE! We as a family were so excited to be travelling to Ottawa and Orlando. For the first time ever, we didn't have to plan anything! It was all planned for us. When we arrived in Ottawa we met families from across Canada who have shared similar struggles and journeys. Ethan was thrilled to meet other kids who have had the same experiences that he has.
From the first day the bond with the Champion children was evident. They were sharing Snapchat and Instagram handles and forming lifelong friendships. They took selfies together and shared their stories. The Champion children shone during the week, they were amazing at speaking to media and corporate sponsors explaining the value of the treatment they had each received at their children's hospitals. The parents and families also developed bonds that we will carry forever. We all know what it means to have a child with an illness or disease, and to see them being celebrated for their accomplishments was extraordinary.
After our Trip
Coming home from the tour was hard! We made so many amazing friendships and had such a wonderful time that it was difficult to see it end. Thankfully we have a Facebook group that we continue to post pictures and well wishes in. One of our sweet Champion children was not feeling well so the other kids were sending her video messages and pictures to cheer her up. The kids have all had other opportunities at home as well which we post for each other to see. These kids are amazing!
One Champion was speaking at her school and helping with a telethon for her hospital, one was a special guest at a basketball game, and one was named honourary captain of an MLS soccer team! Ethan was chosen by the mayor as one of five people in our city who are doing great things. He was asked to be in a video that was shown at the State of the City Address.
Ethan will also be doing a launch at our hospital for the Children's Miracle Network fundraising campaign by Walmart Canada. He will be giving a tour of the hospital to the Walmart team and showing them what it means to him to have the care that he does. He continues to amaze us in how far he has come and the ease at which he shares his story now through public speaking. This experience has given him so much confidence.
To say this was an experience of a lifetime would be a huge understatement. We are humbled at the opportunity that we were given. We as a family are so thankful to Children's Miracle Network, our hospital and the corporate sponsors that gave us this tour. Our hearts are full for Ethan and the other Champion children being put into the spotlight and recognized for all that they have achieved. We know and love these families that we shared this time with. We know these unbelievable children and we know their stories. We are blessed to have had this experience and will carry it with us. Thank you for everything that you did for Ethan and making him a Champion, we are forever grateful.

Do you follow my other site, the Latin Baby Book Club? Each year, we publish a summer reading list. And the 2011 edition is now live! This is a great resource for bilingual families who are helping their kids maintain their reading skills during the summer by participating in a library or online summer reading program.
These summer reading lists are super because they don't offer an overwhelming number of titles, but they do list a variety of books for newborns to young adults.
I already mentioned some great online programs, so I won't do that again.

It's been such a overwhelming and positive feeling to read all your mails. Thanks so much. So I've created an online donation link using which you can instantly pay us a nominal fee of Rs.500. Cyclists.in…Continue

Hi Amit,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
As mentioned I'm keen to know more about the market for our products in India.
Send me some details about your reach and network in India and I'm keen to look at the possibilities.
Where are you based in India?
We are now the #1 here in Australia in roof rack solutions and have done very well in the Bike, boat and camping sections.
We could possibly look at a distribution centre in Mumbai and Delhi.
Let me know your thoughts.
Hi Amit,
Yes the CamelBak Dart is available in Mumbai.
You can purchase it of the website, or alternatively you can also purchase it from Pro9 cycle shop in Bandra.
CamelBak India Team.
