When the Columbia Orchestra concludes its 35th season on Saturday, June 1, at 7:30 p.m., in the Jim Rouse Theatre at Wilde Lake High School, it will not go out quietly.
"I wanted to go out with a bang," said Columbia Orchestra Music Director Jason Love about the ambitious program he has planned. He added that the three main pieces on the program "all deal with struggle and rebirth."
All of that struggle and rebirth warrant considerable orchestral forces, so the Columbia Orchestra will be joined by an additional 15 to 20 players for this performance. That will add up to nearly 100 musicians on stage.
Many of these musicians also will be on stage to accompany three competition-winning Howard County music students who will be playing shorter selections.
Among the main pieces, the Columbia Orchestra marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of 19th-century composer Richard Wagner, who was born May 22, 1813, by playing "Siegfried's Funeral March."
Just as Wagner benefits from being played by a very full ensemble, the second main piece on the program, 20th-century Russian composer Igor Stravinsky's "Firebird Ballet," also benefits from having enough musicians to deliver its energetic outbursts; the orchestra will play selections from Stravinsky's score.
And the 21st century is represented by the third main piece, contemporary Chinese-American composer Chen Yi's "Mount a Long Wind." Love explained that he had read about this piece when it was done in China several years ago and is an admirer of her music, but had not realized he would be giving the piece its American premiere when he booked it.
Besides those three pieces, shorter pieces will be played by the three winners of the Columbia Orchestra Young Artist Competition. These young musicians also receive scholarship checks from the Shirley Mullinix Memorial Fund.
"What's very striking is that the three students all have phenomenal technique, and also a musical maturity that's superb," Love observed. "They're not at all shy or nervous playing with an orchestra. If you closed your eyes, you wouldn't guess these are high school students."
Winner of the competition's Junior Division, violinist Jeremy Hess, 13, will be heard in the first movement of Lalo's "Symphonie Espagnole."
Hess is a home-schooled student from West Friendship. He's a member of the Peabody String Academy Pre-College Violin Program and the Peabody Youth Orchestra, and studies there with Rebecca Henry. First-place winner in each of the last three years from the Maryland State Music Teachers' Association, Hess has played at the Kennedy Center and the Walters Art Museum.
A winner in the Senior Division, Lisa Choi is a 15-year-old flute player who will perform the first movement of the Mozart Flute Concerto No. 2. She is a freshman at Centennial High School.
Choi studies with Rachel Choe at Peabody Prep, and is principal flutist with the Howard County Gifted and Talented band. Among her other orchestral memberships are the Peabody Youth Orchestra, Maryland All-State Junior Band and Bonnie Branch Trio. She has played in other cities including New York and Philadelphia.
Another winner in the Senior Division, violinist Andrew Kwon, will play Sarasate's "Zigeunerweisen."
Kwon, 18, who graduated from Centennial last week, began his studies in his native Korea, came to the United States in 2000 and moved to Maryland in 2007. Among his orchestral memberships is the Maryland All-State Orchestra, Washington Symphony Youth Orchestra (of which he is concertmaster), and the Howard County Gifted and Talented Orchestra. He is a member of the Peabody Pre-Conservatory Violin program, and studies with Peabody faculty member Herbert Greenberg.

The Pre-Product Phase
One of my big weaknesses as an early stage investor is my eyes glaze over at wireframes, design sketches, photoshop screens, and prose that describes a product. Until I can get my hands on it and use it, I have an incredibly difficult time imagining what the thing is.
For that reason, I prefer working on projects that are designed in code as opposed to paper, photoshop, or some other tool. That's a lot easier on the web and much harder on mobile, which is a bummer. When something is designed in code, it comes to life for me quickly and I can react to it, give feedback on it, and think about it, and consider investing in it.
I've pretty much given up investing in products that aren't ready for public use. It has not really worked out for me. I really enjoy investing in a business where the product is out in the wild, getting used, and everything else has to be figured out. I am good at that. But I am not good at investing in the figuring out the product stage. My track record proves that conclusively.
I get a ton of requests (mutiple requests a day) to meet with entrepreneurs to give them feedback on their product. I also get emails with links to wireframes and sketches where entrepreneurs want feedback. I generally decline these requests because I know that my feedback will be poor. I lack the imagination to see where the entrepreneur is going with the product.
Everyone has their strenghts and weaknesses. My weakness is the pre-product phase. I thought I'd make that clear to everyone. It will save us all a lot of time and energy.

American Quarter Horse Association's policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users.
Email and Texting Scams
Unfortunately, the Internet can be used to spread false information about our Association or the horse industry. If you receive a questionable or inappropriate email or text that claims to be part of or affiliated with AQHA, a sponsored program or a marketing program, please be aware of the signs of an email or texting scam.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, phishing is "the act of sending an email falsely claiming to be an established legitimate business in an attempt to dupe the unsuspecting recipient into divulging personal, sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and bank account information after directing the user to visit a specified website. The website, however, is not genuine and was set up only as an attempt to steal the user's information."
Common signs that an email message could be part of a scam or phishing campaign:
- Incorrect sender address. AQHA's emails are sent only from @aqha.org, @list.aqha.net or @aqha.com. AQHA will never send email from Yahoo!, AOL, Hotmail, etc.)
- Spelling and grammatical errors
- Improper use of company trademarks
- Improper use of AQHA corporate partner names/products
- Requests for personal information and the promise of quick financial gain
- Inappropriate topics, such as lotteries or sweepstakes you did not enter.

Black activist Najee Ali will be attending Muslim services at Bilal Islamic Center in Los Angeles, where after standard prayers, a speaker will briefly address the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Episcopal priest the Rev. Albert Cutie will attend Trinity Cathedral in downtown Miami with virtually all Christian denominations as well as Imams and Rabbis in attendance. [Editor's note: The original version misstated Father Cutie's religion.]
University of Minnesota's Nick Campbell, who calls himself a "non-denominational Christian," will likely be "too caught up in my own schedule, agenda, schooling, etc…. too distracted to pray … something I am always working on."
The common denominator is that all of the above consider themselves highly religious people who heartily welcome today's National Day of Prayer, a day formally designated by Congress and President Harry Truman in 1952 and carried on by every president since. Similar proclamations were signed last year by all 50 state governors and those of several US territories.
"I think this day is a huge deal and very important for a nation like ours based on Judeo-Christian principles to really reflect," says Father Cutie, author of "Dilemma: A Priest's Struggle with Faith and Love." "This is not just a way of dealing with news on the economy and terrorism but to teach future generations long term to put their trust in a higher power, no matter what they consider that to mean." [Editor's note: The original version misstated the name of Father Cutie's book.]
Separation of church and state?
That comment makes some people – atheists and civil libertarians – uncomfortable with what they feel is the day's foggy blend of patriotism and religion. For others, it seems to be a clear violation of America's constitutional separation of church and state. But legal analysts say the proclamation passes legal muster because it does not force people to pray on this day.
"From a constitutional perspective, there is nothing infirm about a National Day of Prayer," says Harold Krent, a professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law. "Congress has not thereby established a religion, nor has it infringed anyone's right to follow the dictates of his or her own religion."
That said, the day could be applied in an unconstitutional manner, he says.
"For instance, school districts requiring prayer on a National Day of Prayer would, in all likelihood, violate the Establishment Clause. Schools can study about prayer and the role of prayer in our lives, but not require or even strongly encourage prayer, particularly in younger grades," says Professor Kent. "Conversely, however, governors and the president can encourage us to pray in our private lives, without establishing a religion or coercing religious practices."
Such observances will go on in dozens of forms – from long speeches to short notices to silent prayers sponsored by congregations small and large.
"This is a very positive thing and the more of it and the more diverse, the better," says author and television personality Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. "Unlike Europe, where such a day would be impossible, this is what makes the US the multiple and varied society that it is. We are all Americans and pray to the same God. This spotlights the collective and raises us all above our denominations to realize we are all one, human family."
The origin of the day goes back to the Founding Fathers.
The Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation in 1775, and Thomas Jefferson said in 1808: "Fasting and prayer are religious exercises; the enjoining them an act of discipline. Every religious society has a right to determine for itself the time for these exercises, and the objects proper for them, according to their own particular tenets; and right can never be safer than in their hands, where the Constitution has deposited it."
Abraham Lincoln, in the midst of the Civil War proclaimed a day of "humiliation, fasting, and prayer" in 1863. Ninety years later, Congress passed a formal declaration marking an annual event on the first Thursday of May and Harry Truman signed it into law.
Muslim participation
"Muslims already pray by themselves five times a day," says Mr. Ali, director of Project Islamic HOPE (Helping Oppressed People Everywhere), an advocacy organization in Los Angeles. "What makes this different for us is that we can build solidarity with other faiths."
He says he is looking forward to the mosque's Imam making it clear that Al Qaeda has a terrorist ideology which most mainstream Muslim organizations don't share. "This is both personal and private as well as public and collective," says Ali. "Bin Laden's capture was the answer to our prayers so we will be giving thanks for that as well."
Munira Syeda, spokeswoman for greater Los Angeles-area office of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says she hopes the National Day of Prayer will become more inclusive of non-Jewish and Christian religions.
"The National day of prayer, although historically significant, has generally been organized and observed by Christian denominations," she says. "We hope to see this annual day of prayer become more inclusive of all faith traditions. This year in particular, we call on all Americans to pray for the victims of injustices, terror and oppression in America and around the world, for our nation to be healed and strengthened, and for our troops to be brought back home soon."
How presidents have observed it
For eight years, President George W. Bush invited selected Christian and Jewish leaders to the White House East Room, where he typically would give a short speech and several leaders offered prayers.
On his first National Day of Prayer as President in 2009, President Obama distanced himself from the National Day of Prayer by foregoing a formal early morning service and not attending a large Catholic prayer breakfast the next morning. Then-White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama was reverting back to pre-Bush presidential practice.
The day is not without its controversies.
Rabbi Boteach says that several years ago, two Jewish rabbis took offense when one White House prayer breakfast focused directly on Jesus. "The rabbis asked, 'How could this be a national day of prayer?' " he says, noting that the Jewish community often doesn't participate as much as he would like.
"But I disagreed with them, saying that every Christian has a right to pray to Jesus," he says. "This day doesn't necessarily mean we all brush aside our spiritual techniques in order to be more universal – just that we should all not overdo it. I think this day needs more attention. I salute the idea completely."

Visualising the body
Pohl Omniskop X-ray apparatus, Kiel, Germany, 1925-1935
Body images dominated the way disease was diagnosed during the 20th century. X‑rays were discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895 and had an immediate impact. Other body imaging techniques such as MRI, PET and ultrasound were developed over the century. ECG and other machines that visually recorded body function became central to hospital medicine.
X‑rays transform diagnosis and treatment
X‑ray technology saw inside living patients' bodies without the need to cut them open. X‑rays are a form of . They cannot penetrate denser body parts, such as bones, creating shadows on special photographic paper. X‑ray images proved popular, and were even used to size shoes. Doctors used them to locate broken bones or items lodged in the body, such as bullets. X‑rays also offered new therapies, known as radiation therapy. This was found to be effective at treating cancer and other conditions such as ringworm.
Harmful rays
X‑ray technology harmed as well as healed. By the late 1920s, large doses of X‑ray radiation were found to seriously damage the body. By the 1930s protective measures and equipment were developed to reduce the radiation dose from machines. This made them safer for practitioners and patients. In the 1950s Alice Stewart's work linked foetal X‑rays and childhood cancer.
X‑ray technology advances
New techniques and machines increased doctors' abilities to see details and movement inside the body. From the 1920s, contrast media depicted organs such as the stomach. In the 1930s multiple X‑ray images of sections of the body were overlaid in a popular technique called tomography. Forty years later Godfrey Hounsfield combined this technique with computer power to create the first CT scanner. This machine produced the first detailed images of a living brain.
The rise of scanners during the 1970s
Computers made other body imaging machines possible. 'Scanning' described machines that took readings of the body and used computers to turn the data into visual images. MRI was developed in 1973. This made images using computers to record tiny signals from atoms inside the body. PET was developed in 1975. PET machines tracked trace amounts of radioactive materials injected into the blood. This helped doctors visualise brain and bodily functions.

At Alden's Piano Company, we offer four generations of expert Piano Moving, Piano Rental,
Piano Tuning & Piano Restoration. Call the BEST, Call Alden's Paino Company (847) 336-3369.
Since 1885, Alden's Piano Moving Company has been the trusted name for all piano needs. Our piano movers go through extensive training to complete any job with the utmost care and maneuver around extremely difficult floorplans. In some cases, the move seems impossible to the more inexperienced piano movers. From elevators to stairs, our professional movers can move it. As a family owned and operated piano moving company, the owner himself and a team of local movers are right there, especially on the more difficult jobs.
Alden is here to help you make any party, event, wedding or show a grand experience with our piano rental. Having the experience of four generations, Alden's Piano Company was called upon for the Oprah Winfrey Show, Garth Brooks and Aretha Franklin concerts and many others. As impressive as that may be, no matter how big or small your event, it is about making a memory as grand as the piano. Our piano rentals are available for up to a month for certain events and are reasonably priced. We will never be the most expensive piano rental, but we will be the most experienced. Our collection of rentals are tuned twice a year and refinished every four years to ensure the highest quality for any occasion.
As your piano service experts, we recommend that you have your piano tuned twice a year. When it starts to snow, and when it stops is a great way to gauge piano tuning. Aside from typical wear and tear, weather is the primary factor that affects the pianos outer finish and puts strain on strings. Piano tuning, repair, refinishing and moving are second nature to Nate as it has been instilled in him since a young boy. He has inherited the mastery of the trade passed down from his great grandfather and uses the methods of the old days to ensure the delicate, hand crafted perfection of each piano.
Contact us today to schedule your piano moving, rental or tuning service today!

Andrea Poffenberger
Satisfied Client
"Alden Piano has been the providing us with pianos since we first opened The Venue at The Horseshoe Casino in Hammond in 2008. The instruments provided have always been of the finest caliber and the service has been exceptional. Ron is one of the best piano guys in the business and has been for many years. He has always been willing to assist in the event of an emergency and has personally saved me from disaster on more than one occasion. When I need a piano, I'd never even consider calling anyone else."
Johnny Mac
"Alden's did the impossible, they moved my 7 ft Steinway into a 7 ft 6 inch elevator that was 55 inches by 55 inches. I've had them move my piano many times before, my sister's and my friends' pianos and all have gone smoothly. They are indisputably the best movers in the Chicago area for pianos, having used a lot of piano movers. If you have a piano you need moved perfectly, they are the guys. Friendly too. I could go on about them for a long time. If you enter "Steinway" and "Alden" into a search engine you can see the move video (miracle)."
Sean Bennett
Very satisfied customer
"Hi Nate, I just wanted to let you know that your guys are the very best movers I have ever seen and have had the pleasure to work with. I will certainly look forward to calling on you and them again---hopefully in a more distant future than 3 months though! Have a great week! Kind Regards,"
Amanda Porter
"Dear Ron, It was a pleasure to finally meet you yesterday! Thank you for the timely delivery and tuning of your beautiful Yamaha Studio piano for our use at our gala at The Park Grill. Our pianist was delighted to play your piano for our evening's entertainment, and everyone enjoyed listening to the beautiful music. If we should ever need to rent a piano again, we will definitely turn to Alden Piano. Best regards,"
Karen Coons
"Since I started using Alden's services 5 years ago I never wished for a different piano moving company. If I had any prejudices, move after move they prove me wrong: they are on time, customers always compliment me on my movers, and they have yet to put a scratch on a piano. And their pricing is more than fair. It's 5 stars from me."

"Hi Nate, I hope the holiday weekend wasn't too busy for you! I just wanted to thank you for your services this past weekend and for delivering us such a great rehearsal piano to the Palmer House Hilton. Our accompanist really enjoyed the instrument! Your delivery was right on schedule and the piano was placed perfectly. We will remit payment asap. We look forward to continuing our relationship with you and your company when we return to Chicago in 2016! Thanks again,"
DEVIN PROVENZANO, Manhattan Concert Productions
Concert Operations Associate
Manhattan Chorale
Greetings. I wanted to send a quick note about this weekend's pickup. Demetrius and his crew showed up on time, had the piano moved out within 10 minutes, and worked around my other moving crew that was packing up the rest of the house. They were also really polite, friendly, and professional. Please pass along my thanks to them and know that you have a great crew there."
Keys 4 Kids Piano Pick Up
"We have engaged the service of Alden's Piano Company several times each year for the past several years to move our extraordinary 1920's Baldwin Concert Grand Piano to different locations within the Cathedral. Such a move is always difficult on an instrument, but the care that attention that Nate and his crew have shown our piano has made limited the stress on the instrument. In fact, on several occasions following a such a move we did not even have to have the piano tuned --- this is the kind of care every piano should have and the kind which we have come to expect from Alden's Piano Company!"

The crew is always professional, well-mannered, careful, and fast. I can't say enough about them. So if you're looking for a mover, look no further. Literally, you can stop your search now."

"I used Alden's for moving a grand piano and then tuning it a few months later, once it settled. My parents originally moved the piano themselves and it took 7 grown men (family and friends) to move it. When the crew from Alden showed up with 3 guys, I was thinking "Are you sure about this?" Ha! They are professionals. They have the right equipment and they moved it with ease. The price was reasonable too. Then, Ron came for a tuning appointment at a later date. He was friendly and efficient. Very happy with this company."

"I've been using Yelp for quite some time and this is my first review. I needed our childhood piano moved from my parent's house from Lincolnwood to Elgin and I contacted a handful of moving companies and their prices were out of my price range. I came across Alden's Piano Company on Yelp and read the amazing reviews and contacted Nate. He was very professional and accommodating when I had to change the initial pick up and drop off date. His price was also in my price range! The two men who came to pick up the piano was professional and made sure the piano was covered with two blankets. My parents were impressed by them and how strong they were! My husband was home to receive the piano and he said they were very professional. I definitely recommend Alden's Piano Company and will share my experience with my friends, family, and piano studio! Thank you again!!!"

"We rented a piano from Alden for a talent show at our condominium. Not cheap, but they brought a very nice Steinway grand, and had the tuner there, all within a tiny time frame. Everyone liked the piano, and their professional way of arriving on time.
After that experience, I had them move my 7' Mason & Hamlin back into my 3rd floor apartment. I had just spent $26,000 rebuilding it, so probably don't need to explain how worried I was about the return move. That piano weighs 1100 pounds, and I live on the 3rd floor. They showed up right on time to look the job over, and then showed up on time again to meet the long-distance movers. There was only a half an inch clearance in some of the turns coming up the staircase, but the piano arrived without a scratch. There was one ding on the lid, which they brought up separately, but all in all, I was extremely pleased. They've been first-rate on both the routine jobs and the very difficult ones."

"Professional, competent and trustworthy, Alden's was worth every dollar spent.
Three guys moved a baby grand from Pittsburg to the greater Chicago area. They were flexible with the dates. To accommodate a special request, they picked up the piano one day, stored it at a warehouse for 2 weeks, and delivered it to our home thereafter. It arrived in excellent condition.
The movers were confident, which put us to ease, and they were very pleasant to work with. They maneuvered along two 90 degree angles on the way up the stairs to a loft, some some tight spaces. One of the movers told me they've gotten larger pianos into tighter spaces.
I was pleased to learn that they offer piano cleaning and tuning services as well. The business ha been family run since the 19th century; clearly, they know that they're doing.
Highly recommended."

I loved the use of purples in not just the shadow, but also the liner and mascara. Paired with a light, neutral lip and beautiful contouring, this went to the top of my list of looks I wanted to try on myself. I figured I would make it into a Makeup Monday and show you my own take on it! I'm saving the contour tutorial for a later date, so this look mostly focuses on the eyes, with some mild contouring using Estée Lauder's Bronze Goddess underneath and Smashbox Illusion highlighter on my cheekbones.
For what I used and step by step instructions, continue reading after the jump.
What I used on my eyes:
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Estée Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadow in Crystal Sand
Psychedelic Sister eyeshadow Urban Decay Fun Palette
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Mascara Duo (also comes in green, blue and a more fuchsia-ish purple to coordinate with your eye color - and you can find these at most stores. I got mine at CVS)
What I used on my cheeks and lips:
Estée Lauder Soft Shimmer Bronzer (contour)

12-year-old chicken farmer brings kindness to the coop
We get a lot of story pitches in Newspaperville. We try to read them all. I'm just lucky the one from Animal Welfare Approved caught my eye, because Shelby Grebenc was such a pleasure to talk to.
Shelby recently earned the "Animal Welfare Approved" label for the eggs her 130-some laying hens produce in unincorporated Adams County. She had to meet 26 pages of stringent requirements for the hens' care, from how wide the doors to their shelter are to the kinds of records she keeps. A half-day inspection from third-party experts checked her work.
"I thought it would be hard, and I didn't think I would be able to get it," Shelby said of the label. But once the certification was won, "It kind of made me happy to realize I was doing everything right."
Shelby's in 4-H and gets help and advice from Adams County Extension. And a little bit from her brother, Conner, 9. And her dog (who helps deter predators) and her cat (who actually plays with the chickens).
Shelby says the egg operation (about 500 dozen in winter, more in summer) has made her a much better math student, because she has to balance the costs of feed, heat for the shelters, and all of her other inputs against the price she gets for eggs.
You can tell the affection Shelby has for her flock from how she talks about them — and the name she gave her egg operation: Shelby's Happy Chapped Chicken Butt Farm. Here's the story behind that wacky name. You can get eggs from her evenings and weekends at the farm at 154th and Huron streets.
And if you're thinking about adding chickens to your home garden patch, there's lots of helpful info for you, too.

Cahill uses adrenaline, thinks less in first relief outing
LOS ANGELES -- Desperate to get right-hander Trevor Cahill on the right track, the D-backs shifted him to the bullpen in hopes the change of scenery would help him.
The results Friday night against the Dodgers were encouraging.
Cahill came on in the 12th to protect a two-run lead and had probably his cleanest inning of the year as he retired Andre Ethier, Yasiel Puig and Justin Turner on 11 pitches to record his first career save.
"The biggest thing is just going out there and putting together a good outing and doing something positive for the team, which I haven't done all year," Cahill said.
It was his first relief appearance this season and just the second of his Major League career.
Ask Cahill what the experience is like and you get a glimpse as to what might be the key to him having similar success as a starter -- less thought.
"It's straight adrenaline," Cahill said of the bullpen. "You don't have the nerves all day before a start. You're just down there and every time the phone rings, you get some butterflies, and when they finally called my name, it was just normal. I knew I had time, so I just did my normal pregame routine and then just went out there and threw as hard as I could. You have less time to think about it, you don't have to worry about pacing yourself. The phone rings, the adrenaline hits and you just go out there and try and make as many good pitches as possible."
Cahill looked more than comfortable on Saturday night in the D-backs' 8-6 loss, working three hitless innings and striking out four of the nine batters he faced.

For the past few years, it is has been my privilege to see firsthand a dramatic change in government culture: the public availability and application of data. This rapid increase of Open Data is not valuable in and of itself; its value lies in the ability of data to tell a story, guide how we direct our resources during a disaster, and help consumers make more informed decisions.
At DOT, we've been leaders of Data.Gov's Safety community. And yesterday, at the second annual Safety Datapalooza, innovators from government and the private sector shared some of the achievements in public safety made possible by this revolution in Open Data.
In the transportation sphere, leaders of two startups using safety data —Keychain Logisitcs and Bustr–shared how they've taken the data DOT makes publicly available and created useful apps for consumers as well as business owners.
Keychain is a matchmaker between freight shippers and commercial carriers. When shippers have cargo that needs to be delivered, they can consult Keychain to locate available carriers and check carrier and driver safety records. The safety data comes from our Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
It's easy to see the value of Keychain's service as a way of keeping the freight that fuels our economy moving efficiently. But thanks to the safety data incorporated into Keychain, shippers–many of them small businesses–have added confidence that their goods will get where they need to safely. Keychain also helps the safer and more reliable trucking companies and commercial drivers–many of whom are also small businesses–stand out.
Bustr also uses FMCSA safety data–for buses and drivers–to help those looking to charter a motorcoach for group travel. FMCSA makes available carrier and driver records, but by law is prohibited from putting an evaluative grade on a driver or carrier's record. Bustr is free to do exactly that, which makes DOT data more useful to trip planners. And again, it also helps the small businesses who own and operate motorcoaches to stand out based on their relative safety merits.
I'm very proud of DOT's leadership in the Data.Gov community and the value our safety data provides. But in addition to transportation apps, I was also impressed at yesterday's Safety Datapalooza by the many apps and tools that help guide first responders and survivors in the wake of disasters; that help consumers shop for products and services where business owners have a strong record of workplace safety; and that help keep our nation's law enforcement officers safe while they are keeping the rest of us safe.
The story is not just that the free buffet of data is being put to terrific and convenient use; it's that government is actively encouraging that use by making the data accessible in the first place and working with private sector developers to transform that data into actionable, practical information in the palm of our hands.
So, no one should be at all surprised if you hear someone say, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to innovate."
Greg Winfree is Administrator of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration.

Another day of course racing action in Westerland/Sylt, Germany. Three races in the morning with winds around 12 knots, and three races in the afternoon with slightly higher windspeeds around 15 knots saw Bruno Sroka (FRA, Cabrinha) and Kristin Boese (GER, Best) on top in the end.It was a hard battle between Sroka, Lago (ESP, RRD) and Farley (MEX, North) for the podium. Those three riders gave the crowds on the beach a really big show, with fotofinish stlye riding, including position changes only at the last few meters. In the end Bruno Sroka was the clear winner with 8 points, ahead of Lago (12 points) and Farley (16 points).
In the womens fleet Kristin Boese had no problems to defeat Ainhoa Garcia (ESP, Airush) with a perfect score, Caroline Adrien (FRA, Naish) in third.


text: I just came across an item titled 'Billing the Doctor for Your Time'. First let me quote: 'Over at the Economix blog, Princeton economics professor Alan B. Krueger applies economic theory to the doctor's waiting room. He writes about the "opportunity cost" of being a patient. Any student of Econ 101 knows that economists measure costs by opportunity costs, meaning everything that is given up to get something else. Time spent interacting with the medical system could be used for other activities, such as work and leisure. Moreover, spending time getting medical care is not fun. This time should be counted as part of the cost of health care'.(Tara Parker-Pope on health-Feb 9,'09) Who needs healing: You or your physician?

Second and fifth ingredients are named meat products
Inadequate meat content, low quality grain fragments, fat of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler, sugar
The first ingredient in this food is rice. Rice is a decent quality grain, but it is still a grain which is an unnatural foodstuff for canines. Dog food products should be based on meat, not on grains. Further grain in the food (and probably the main ingredient, as it occurs in three forms) is maize (corn). Corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value in dog food, and which is also commonly associated with food allergies.
Lamb, the 2nd ingredient is not a meat meal, but instead is inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once this is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. As ingredients are listed in order of weight, it is thus unlikely that this ingredient is truely amongst the most prolific in the food and would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. At wet weight only the 2nd ingredient in the the food, it is likely that the true amount of this ingredient is significantly lower.The first true meat ingredient does not occur until 5th on the ingredient list, which gives us little confidence in the overall meat content of the food.
Animal fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine species, source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this asobtained from the tissues of mammals and/or poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative".
Beet fibre (pulp) is a controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. Molasses is an undesirable source of sugar (dog foods should not contain sugar).
Glucosamine and chondroitin, although specified on the ingredient list are not present in useful quantities for any therapudic purpose (as is the case for all dog food products) and we consider highlighting these to be a gimmick. We note the food has added vitamins and minerals, but no information is given about these and may include synthetics.

If a color can represent the mood you are in,
Pantone's pronouncement of the color of the year
is taking the pulse of the country too.
The buzz:
Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it," said Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone's executive director. "Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy."
Clearly, Tangerine Tango can provide a much-needed energetic boost to home accessories, and by association, the economy, we hope?
Noted in the High Point Report for 2011:
It's been said that interior design changes its mind about fashion roughly every ten years. The change however isn't sudden. What was a trickle of a suggestion a few years ago can gradually grow into a present day flood.
From that perspective, the interior fashion progression from last year to this year, is glacial at best, although it's decidedly more confident than a few years ago when the global markets went into free fall.
The take-away impression of design trends for 2012 compared to 2011 is:
Same drill(s)…just more so….except for one interesting difference.
According to Steve Kincaid, president of solid wood resource Kincaid Furniture, " They (retailers) are selling goods at higher price points and are here (at High Point) trying to buy product that is a little more expensive and higher style. They realize they can sell furniture in our price range. We are seeing people who have lowered their price points and they are coming back because they are getting requests for higher end products."
Apparently, optimism and quality rule this year.
In other words, more of same but best of kind.
The design trends report for 2011 also noted the following:
Rough Trade And The Luxury Grunge Look: The impetus towards a greener point of view over the past few years has spawned a review of our notions about reclaimed and vintage home furnishings and décor. Some call it The Belgian Look. It can also be defined as looking Repurposed From Some Other Century with emphasis on un-dyed fabric or at least grayed out from age, exposed bolts and steel supports."
The look is still big. Going even further was a leaning towards "deconstructed", with pieces not fully upholstered and showing the frame and inner supports. Natural fibers in the form of burlap, grass-cloth and raffia was woven into some of the designs.
This year's interpretation also gave a slight French twist to the Belgian Look. While there was a range in wood finishes from a darker gray to Belgian oak, all hues were brought together with a washed patina and white undertones.
Along side the old factory/reclamation theme, a renewed appreciation for artisan designed and bench-made goods.
If it's hand crafted great.
If it only looks hand crafted, still good.
Vintage rules with wit, or a bit of kitsch, or outright whimsy. 2011 saw the beginning of a trend where a "Made In America" label represents the New Chic. This influence made a very big splash in 2011 and continues to grow even bigger this year.
"In uncertain times, a return to one's roots is the pathway for renewed strength."
For this reason, it's notable that most often updated spins on the design trends of yesteryear were either Americana as imagined by Norman Rockwell, or glamorized Americans as with the Mad Men style.
Speaking of which, Mad Men Vogue has definitely staked territory on the home design front.
There was also a nod to Space Age design via the 50's but updated for today.
Traditional furniture designs will always have their place. To accompany the French Twist influence, inspiration was taken from French Neoclassical designs, then sleeked down in the details. There were still gold embellishments and scrolls that were typical of the period.
Not unlike styling yourself, styling a home that looks like you is never a done deal. Your preference may fall somewhere between "homiest home" to "show-stopper statement interior", but to truly be a home you love to live in, the idea is to let it grow and evolve over time…or at least look that way.
Let the latest furniture design trends inspire you, but never rule.

Santa Clara County, which has more cases of tuberculosis that most U.S. states, will shift from testing public school students for TB to requiring a "risk assessment" for the disease, officials said.
Beginning June 1, students must be examined by health care professionals, provided by their parent's insurance or elsewhere, to see if they have TB and give their schools the results, county TB Controller Dr. Teeb Al-Samarrai said.
Al-Samarrai, who works for the county Public Health Department, said that the county decided to change to assessing risk factors for TB because the current policy of universal testing resulted in too many false positives.
"This means rather requiring testing to every child, we will focus our effort on those children with the biggest risk factors of having been exposed," Al-Samarrai said.
Among the risk factors for TB, a bacterial infection of lungs that can result in death, is having been born abroad in or traveled to countries with high TB rates, including India, Vietnam and the Philippines, Al-Samarrai said.
The new risk assessment for schools, involving a form with a checklist of factors, would identify the children who were born or have been in high-risk counties and then getting them tested and treated faster, Al-Samarrai said.
Many residents of the county's diverse population who have TB contracted it overseas, Al-Samarrai said.
"Keep in mind that TB can lie dormant for many, many years," Al-Samarrai said. "It's important to test for it, you can identify it in its early form and you can treat it with just one medication or two medications so it doesn't develop into active disease."
Al-Samarrai, accompanied by county Supervisor Ken Yeager, spoke at a news conference at Washington Open Elementary School in Santa Clara to acknowledge World TB Day.
The day commemorates March 24, 1882, when German physician Dr. Robert Koch announced the discovery of the bacterium that causes the disease, according to health department spokeswoman Amy Cornell.
Al-Samarrai said that TB is "the world's oldest disease" and Santa Clara County has seen an increase in cases for the first time in six years.
Yeager said that while cases of TB have been declining in all of California, Santa Clara County experienced an alarming increase in 2013.
Some 181 known cases of the disease were recorded last year and about 180,000 people in the county have the disease in latent form "and do not know they are infected," Yeager said.
Al-Samarrai said that the county's 181 cases was higher than those of 38 U.S. states.

Good morning everyone, I hope you are spending the most relaxing and pleasant holidays!
December 31th is probably a good moment to think back about the past year, and I shall admit I have rather mixed feelings about the last twelve months.
I have no complaints at all about my personal life. 2012 brought me more joy and happiness than I could possibly ask for, and was overall one of the best years of my life, so far. I finally completed my studies, got the amazing opportunity of moving abroad and getting to know such a beautiful and fascinating country as Sweden is, I met many extraordinay new friends and went through a number of exciting and joyful experiences. And all of this time I was so lucky to have by my side the most sensitive and caring boyfriend a girl could wish for. For all of these reasons I feel much fortunate and grateful, and I look back to the past months with much joy and contentment.
On the other hand, I realize 2012 has been quite of a harsh year for many people I love and care about. Happiness can have kind of a guilty taste when you are aware that someone close to you is in pain, or facing a hard and difficult situation. So, along with my thankfulness for all of the joy I got, I'd also like to express my wish for a happier and easier new year for everyone who is or has been suffering.
Well, I apologize for this unusually long message. This little blog has become more and more personal as months went by, so it felt in some sense natural to write down here my thoughts and wishes for the new year.
They come along with a few pics from my favourite moments, from January to December. I thought it might be a nice way to look back and summarize the path of my life during the last year. : )
January: It feels like ages ago! Our old apartment in Padua, very cold weather, hot tea, and a huge lot of purposes for the new year..
February: last bits of student life, a romantic Valentine and the Carnival of Venice, of course!
March: The very last (and biggest) University rush! All I remember is studying day and night : )
Plus some fresh spring rain and the very first blossoms.
April: after much work, pain and anxiety, I finally got my Master in Automation Engineering! :)
Such a great joy and relief! :)
(my cat was NOT impressed :P )
May: some relax on the hills, in a lonely and magical place..
June: a terrible heatwave (Italian summers can be horribly hot!) and some nice excursions with my boyfriend : )
July: the biggest farewell party at my place with all of our friends!
There were about 50 guests, and the organization was crazy - which is why I do not have many pics of the party, I was just too busy! : )
But in the end, much joy, lots of food and wine, and a hundred lanterns all around the garden made it a great night! :D
August: in the middle of a hot Italian summer, I took the time to say goodbye to the places I love most - Venice first, of course!
September: Sweden here we come!
Carrot and cinnamom cake, wild fauna in Stockholm and the gorgeous colours of Northern autumn
October: Exploring the North - Malmö, Copenhagen, Lund. And falling in love with our beautiful new home. : )
November: enjoying the many pleasures of Swedish lifestyle! : )
December: snow, snow snow!
And all of the magic of Norhtern Christmas! : )

Wholesale CBD Isolates
Wholesale CBD isolate is a powdered cannabidiol extract that is incredibly pure, and that contains the 'medicinal' parts of cannabis. This anhydrous substance is 99% CBD, and it can be used as a food additive, added to liquids, or ingested in other ways to enjoy the medicinal benefits of CBD.
CBD oil use is a relatively new thing, and there are still a lot of questions about exactly how it works and what it can do, but it is known that it is safe, and if you can get CBD That does not contain THC (as CBD isolates are known to), then you can get the healing and pain relief benefits without the psychoactive effects.
CBD can be used to help calm people down, help them focus, and also help people who suffer from chronic pain conditions as well. CBD will not get you 'high' but it can help with arthritis, ADHD, nagging injuries, and even with skin conditions.
Some people mix Wholesale CBD isolates in with e-liquids, to inhale the substance. Others put them into edibles, which can help with the bio-availability (as long as you don't over-cook them, breaking the CBD down).
There is a lot of misinformation out there about CBD. The oils are actually legal in most parts of the world (Canada is one of the only places where it is formally considered a controlled substance, even though it does not contain THC). Wholesale CBD isolates are expensive, because of the purification process, but they are very potent, and you should find that they do their job very well.
What's In CBD
Cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol are the two cannabidoids that occur naturally in Hemp. Thy are very similar when they are examined at the molecular level, and initially many law enforcement departments treated them as being the same. However, it has since been found that CBD has the focus and mind-enhancing aspects of cannabis, and that it can act as a nootropic - but it is not a psychotropic.
THC's mind-altering behaviour is what makes it illgal - some people experience paranoia, and some people experience highs that make them lose control of their faculties. This makes THC dangerous in certain environments (such as if you are driving, or operating heavy machinery), and that's why it is considered illegal in many states.
Cannabis has pain relief effects, and it can improve the quality of life for people who have serious medical conditions. Medical marijuana is one option. CBD is an option for people who want the pain relief, without the mind altering effects. Wholesale CBD isolate makes it possible to take in CBD without the strong taste, and without the 'side effects'.
CBD and THC are not addictive. Some people enjoy the 'highs', but that doesn't mean that they are going to get biologically addicted to it. CBD offers relief of pain at the neuro-synapse level. The pain relief can be lasting, but it does not cure whatever was causing the pain. Rather, it reduces the production of cytokines by the Glial cells in the injured area, stopping you from feeling pain while there is an injury.
The way that CBD and THC interact with each other when you smoke marijuana are complicated, and it's hard to know exactly what taking CBD isolates by themselves will do. Initial reports from 'early adopters' however, suggest that Wholesale CBD will work to ease Parkinson's tremors, help autistic people focus, soothe the pain from arthritis, and generally improve their quality of life. It's well worth trying if you have already tried painkillers, and found them to be ineffective for your needs.
