The focus of Aspire Karate is to bring families together, character development, and self-confidence, focus, discipline and concentration. Here at Aspire Family Fitness and Martial Arts we teach Shotokan Karate do. We provide a warm family environment and we are community oriented. We adhere to the strict 20 guiding principles of the founder of Shotokan Karate do. Shotokan Karate do is not just about fighting and self-defense.
Below are 5 of the 20 guiding principles.
3. Karate stands on the side of justice
The do of karate do, is "the way". This way, which comes to us from the budo code of ancient warriors, says that we should not use our skills for unjust pursuits such as bullying or rabble-rousing. In fact, we should have the courage to stand up (verbally or physically) for the weak when we see them under attack. With power comes responsibility.
4. First know yourself and then know others
To know the ways of conflict, you must understand yourself. This refers both to your physical abilities, but also to your mind. There is no point understanding the way the world works if you do not understand how you interact with it.
5. Mentality over technique
Sharp mind may defeat the sharpest weapon. Whether you use tactics to avoid a fight, or talk to diffuse one, your mind is your first weapon. Once the violence begins, it is your tactics that give you the greatest chance of winning, not your physical abilities.
6. The heart must be set free
Do not get stuck into linear ways of thinking. Open your mind to all possibilities. Do not be trapped by your emotions - free your actions from emotional responses.
8. Karate goes beyond the dojo
Karate is not just something that is switched on and off as you enter and leave the dojo. Matters such as posture, movement and strength should be attended to all the time as you go through your daily life. The do in karate do, means that you should hold yourself to a high physical and moral standard at all times.Type your paragraph here.

A simple truth.
Ok so this was rather rushed. I wanted to get it over with D= I will not lie.
I went one shot, no base drawing no outline no nothing. And he looks . . . stupid. Oh well.
Nobody ever gets this joke either! I thought it was simple to understand but I must have brought it up at least 30 times by now with everybody saying, "um . . . what?" So. Rwar.

Sotomayor Reverses Opinion on Cameras in the High Court
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has publicly reversed her stance on allowing cameras in the high court during oral arguments, saying she is now against the practice, according to New York Magazine.
Allowing television cameras to capture the court's oral arguments would do more harm than good, Sotomayor is reported to have said. "Looking at oral argument is not going to give you that explanation. Oral argument is the forum in which the judge plays devil's advocate with lawyers," she said.
While oral arguments are sometimes a reasonably good guide to which way each justice is leaning, they are an imperfect indicator, Sotomayor said according to the magazine. The court's private deliberations are not open to the public, and they have frequently produced rulings that did not fall the way oral arguments had seemed to indicate, according to Sotomayor.
That is a reversal from what Sotomayor said during her confirmation hearings. At that time she said she had had "good experiences" with cameras in the courtroom and would relay those positive experiences to the rest of the court.
It is not known how Sotomayor's opinion will affect efforts to place cameras in the Supreme Court during oral arguments. The last major effort to get cameras in the court during such arguments occurred in 2012 when members of Congress, broadcasters and advocacy groups petitioned the court to allow cameras in during arguments in the cases National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, No. 11-393; U.S. Department of Health & Human Services v. Florida, No. 11-398; and Florida v. U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, No. 11-400, which involved challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148), also known as "Obamacare." Those petitions were denied.

Latest news – Motorola appear that they are churning out radios like they're just sweets as of late, the digital revolution has in fact given Motorola a second wind and they're, as usual, pushing the boundaries of this radio market. This modern radio the Motorola dp2400, is full fat digital and i have used it for a few weeks it's very related size to numerous other of the existing walkie talkies, but having a different connection variety. The shape is similar to other existing 2 way radios, but i think the cost can make a tremendous differentiation to small companies and individuals, anyway here's a extremely rare assessment of that two way radio.
A 2 way radio has to be in a position to work quickly and effectively. They have to be uncomplicated to work with, strongly designed and multi-faceted enough to appeal to a variety of users. Fortunately, Motorola are very excellent at fulfilling these standards. So, with that at heart, we put the DP 2400 through its paces.
The clarity of digital audio is indisputable. But if you still prefer analogue, then do not despair. The Motorola dp2400 is totally at ease handling both analogue and digital frequencies.
But there's a lot more it can do besides that.
The Dp2400 can even use its 'IP Site Connect' function to increase the aptitude of the radio via the Internet. Furthermore, the 'capacity plus' function can use an individual-site trunking system to allow over a thousand voice or data transfer-users devoid of adding any new frequencies. It could even use an (optional) 'linked capacity plus' feature (a multi-site version of that 'capacity plus' function) that works in tandem using the IP functionality to make sure even broader fields of communication over bigger distances.
There's even an enhanced security function.
The Motorola Dp2400 can be purchased in both VHF and UHF types.
It's much reasonably priced, yet high spec, device. Considering the release of the DP3400, we are able to reasonably expect the purchase price to drop a bit more as well soon, but probably not by an incredible amount, as both models do seems to focus on slightly different areas.
Overall, it does seem like Motorola are offering an excellent radio-based product for your money, yet again.
The look is hardy and utilitarian; this will be the sort of radio a security guard or professional soldier might use. Its tough, square edged and no-nonsense, however it still looks contemporary and professional. On top of this, the DP 2400's ease of use makes the simplicity of the design an ideal marriage of model and operation.
Like nearly all of Motorola's designs, the DP 2400 is a tough little doohickey. The bodywork is so tightly sealed, actually, that it is almost completely dust and sand proof and features a water protection rating of IP55 (meaning you can use it in the rain, but you almost certainly can't take it swimming).
The audio performance of the DP 2400 is nothing short of spectacular. It even adjusts the sound levels to compensate for background noise automatically, much like the iphone.
Actually, so high performance is this 2 way radio, that it essentially meets US military standard 810 C D E F and G.
The only negative we could find was that the look was slightly bulky and the battery was a little heavy, however, the battery life is so good that we really don't mind. Besides, it's reassuring to be completely sure that you are not going to lose the walkie talkie (you'd soon notice in case you dropped it).
As an optional extra, you will even obtain a function that may interrupt an existing signal to be able to deliver vital information without waiting for a communication terminate.
It actually does seem as if Motorola have considered the lot for this walkie talkie. What we've got here is a two way radio that is pretty close to perfection. It seems to do anything you could possibly want it to and, when 'pimped out' with all the added extras, it will surely do a lot more besides.
There are not actually any downsides with this product, it works awfully well, is pretty much top of the line in its price range and is bang up to date technically. What more can you ask for?

GM Peter Coyle
Coyle began his Kenpo training five decades ago when he enrolled in the Fitzwilliam Street Kenpo Karate Club in Dublin with American black belt John McSweeney, the man responsible for the introduction of Ed Parker's art into Ireland and Europe. Later he trained with Tommy Jordan at his club in Dun Laoghaire, Co.Dublin. He still trains regularly with Jordan at the Rathgar Kenpo Karate Studio in Dublin.
Coyle is one of the founding members of Karate Ireland Founded in 1978. Coyle was then elected to the position of PRO. Currently the Karate Ireland president, Coyle was awarded a 10th dan black belt by American Grandmaster Al Tracy in Chicago, USA. Later Tracy visited Ireland where he honored Coyle once more at a function in Dublin's Gresham Hotel.
"Peter Coyle is one of the pioneers of Karate in Ireland," Jordan said. "Over many years he has given great service to all Karate practitioners, especially in his chosen style Kenpo. Through his Karate Ireland position he has also worked diligently for all other stylists throughout the country."
"Karate Ireland teams are now competing all over the world in European Karate Federation (EKF) and World Karate Federation (WKF) competitions, representing Ireland at the highest level. This is in no small part to the tireless work of Karate Ireland and especially Peter Coyle," Jordan added. Coyle was recently honoured with as award at this year's National Junior Championships where he officiated for the last time as chief referee.

Silent Run offers some great quality graphics, you will love watching the bonus games play out with amazing features. Set on a background of a large submarine with underwater mines floating around. The symbols in the slot will be of large armed ships, under waer missiles, the submarine and many other interesting symbols. Although the quality of the slot itself is pretty great, i find that the quality in the bonus rounds to be fascinating. You will set torpedoes off at your enemies ships and on doing so you will watch large explosions that light up the whole slot, the detail is fantastic and the graphics draw you into the game. The slot shows off some of Netents great bonus rounds, playing more of a game rather than watching the screen play for you or maybe playing a basic pick and win bonus. You will see that Netent offer interesting bonus rounds in a few of their slots such as Blood Suckers and Secret Of The Stones. Having a more interesting bonus feature can lengthen your play, increase your wins and show you a more entertaining time. This is what is great about playing the Netent video slots you will always find something new and interesting the more you play.
The Silent Run video slot does not feature a free spin bonus, this may be disappointing to many players as free spin features are great to play and can hand out some hefty wins However Silent Run's bonus feature is a really great game, you may not get the free spins but what you do get is still entertaining and pays out some pretty high wins. You will find firstly the echo wild bonus, this will happen hen a radar appears on reel 3, when it does it will send out signals to search for torpedos. You will find between 2 and 5 torpedoes among the symbols and when the radar has finished any symbols that have a torpedo in them will turn into wilds. The echo wilds is quite like a pick and win bonus that you would see in Hot City, except instead of picking yourself the slot will pick for you. If during the echo wilds you receive 5 torpedos in the symbols you will instantly access the bonus round. In the bonus round you will be given 5 ships to target, you will select the ships to attack, and you will be able to pick every one, this isnt a bonus round where if you pick the wrong one it ends you will get them all but the aim is to pick the right one with the biggest multiplier. The multipliers will start from x1 and work up to x10, if you blow up a ship on the x10 multiplier and it holds the biggest pay out you could find yourself winning a massive prize and this can be won on a minimum bet. The bonus feature is brilliant and exciting you will watch the ships explode and when you play this slot at your UK Netent Casino you are sure to get the thrills you seek.

Evidence for a mitotic clock in human hematopoietic stem cells: loss of telomeric DNA with age
The proliferative life-span of the stem cells that sustain hematopoiesis throughout life is not known. It has been proposed that the sequential loss of telomeric DNA from the ends of human chromosomes with each somatic cell division eventually reaches a critical point that triggers cellular senescence. We now show that candidate human stem cells with a CD34+CD38lo phenotype that were purified from adult bone marrow have shorter telomeres than cells from fetal liver or umbilical cord blood. We also found that cells produced in cytokine-supplemented cultures of purified precursor cells show a proliferation-associated loss of telomeric DNA. These findings strongly suggest that the proliferative potential of most, if not all, hematopoietic stem cells is limited and decreases with age, a concept that has widespread implications for models of normal and abnormal hematopoiesis as well as gene therapy.

Talking points: This week's letters to the editor
Underpass is a step in the right direction
The proposed underpass at the intersection of the Wadandi Track and Carters Road is a laudable improvement to infrastructure for recreational cyclists which will make this presently perilous crossing much safer and improve the continuity of the cycling experience for locals and tourists.
Imagine, however, if the entire Margaret River township was a safe haven for cyclists.
One way of making cycling safer is to increase the critical mass of cyclists by encouraging and supporting the incidental use of bikes for errands, commuting and social purposes.
In practical terms, this would mean more people cycling to school, to work, to a friend's house or to the shops. It might also require community education and cultural change.
However, fewer cars on the road would greatly improve the town's amenity by decreasing noise, pollution, and physical danger, while more people engaged in physical activity would improve health outcomes.
Creating a cycling culture costs taxpayers nothing but has the benefit of decreasing carbon emissions and decreasing individual fuel expenses.
The first step in making this cultural change is for individuals to ask themselves whether they really need to drive to their destination or whether they could walk or cycle instead.
Tim Hartnett, Margaret River
Show some respect
TO THE brain dead drongos who think they are really, really, really important because they wander the streets aimlessly carrying garden stakes, get a life.
On Saturday, a bunch of turds erupted into a brawl on a suburban South West street because one turd called another turd a name as they rode past on their bikes, or something as melodramatic.
Surely you could find something better to do with your time, anything at all would be more productive than turning the streets into your personal trash can. No-one wants to hear your conversation being screamed at 120 decibels down the streets, no-one cares.
Have more respect for yourselves and your fellow humans.
Name Withheld
Airbnb - A recipe for disaster?
I don't mind people renting out a room in their primary residence and showing people the local hospitality.
Isn't that a B&B?
Aren't they meant to comply with certain safety standards and regulations?
But the renting out of an entire house without any onsite management is a recipe for disaster. You may as well let the lunatics run the asylum.
Aren't residential areas meant to be for residents? Don't we want to come home at night and know what to expect? If you have neighbours you more than likely know each other and you know their routine.
You feel safe in a familiar environment. It is very unsettling when you are coming home each night and don't know who is next door, a family or maybe 2 or 3 families, a group of young men or mixed couples. Maybe there is 4 people or maybe 14.
One thing is for sure though, they are all here on holidays, but you're not you are just trying to go about your daily routine. Residential areas should be and have always been for residents. This renting out of entire homes without any safety standards or management is not conducive with a happy residential environment.
I really can't believe that the Government is letting Airbnb take over the world!
Nicky Burgess
I READ the article regarding short term accommodation with interest. I love to holiday in the South West. Trying to find affordable and available accommodation on a long weekend or spend a week down south is impossible. I believe that Airbnb provides an alternative to larger more expensive options. It also brings wider benefits to the community because guests are spending money in other hospitality and tourism areas.
Carol Westland
I HAVE two [residential holiday homes] on my boundary and one across the road. I was never asked what I felt about it. At holiday times the small road is packed.
Ann Mitchell
BLAME the councils [for the number of residential holiday homes] they should never have relaxed the holiday zoning areas to include the likes of Dunsborough Lakes. A concrete jungle abomination not designed for holiday homes.

Malala Yousafzai: The girl who helped the West forget
I have huge respect for Malala. She has lived through a lot already and shown outstanding qualities, with enormous potential for the future. There is nothing wrong in itself in recognising what she has done and stands for and by no means is this criticising her. But perhaps I am not the only one who wonders if she is receiving too much attention. A girl on mission, no problem. But asking her to have a view on everything from Nigel Slater's courgette bake to the best lippy is a bit much.
She's great. I love listening to her. Perhaps it would be better to listen to what she is saying and do something about it rather than concern ourselves with prizes. Going onto the point of the Nobel Peace prize itself, it really has no credibility left – just look at the risible list of past winners. (Obama to name one who did nothing to deserve the award and devalued it's significance in accepting it.)
I highly doubt any of the hype (and that is what it's become) surrounding her story is due to genuine empathy for girls in Pakistan risking violent death by going to school. Ms Yousafzai (Malala) has become a celebrity du jour and along with that come the book deals, movies, TV appearances, magazine interviews and everything the Western celebrity machine has to offer (and take). Unfortunately she has become a poster child for the international aid community and more so a very nice brown girl who can help the west forget all the nice brown girls it has killed in the region in recent years.
Skylar, a fellow activist had these words to say "I think Malala is a smart person but a part of me feels unconvinced by the fact that she knows of the western treatment of her and her struggle. I'm just not really sure. I dont get it. We would never hear that of other people undergoing the same treatment as a result of the onslaught of western imperialism etc. If she was murdered by a drone strike, we would never know her name."
Another friend remarked "her intentions may be great but she is being used to show how great the West are in more ways than one"
I would also ask if the situation for a rural Pakistani schoolgirl has markedly improved since Ms Yousafzai became a household name in the West. What efforts are being made to ensure girls aren't murdered on the way to school? In other words, how much real world action has the dramatic story of Malala actually inspired. Also, the greatest failure of the modern western feminist movement is its tepid reaction to the condition of women in Islamic states. It is perhaps the worst human rights travesty of our age, and most feminists have little to say about it. Malala is basically a walking, talking call for 'third wave feminism' but why is it that in terms of addressing the issue it stops at Malala rather than empowering these groups?

...but i'm not in the mood to talk about how america is failing ferguson--and itself--right now
Last night I had a fit of anger that may or may not have had something to do with my rising discomfort as I watch American race relations crumble and I begin to question the way my peers of all races look at and use me. I wrote an angry, angry, letter to America. My poor MacBook Air was probably shaking with fear as I approached it this morning, worried that its keys were about to absorb another loud assault from my fingers.
I haven't yet decided if I'm going to post the letter, but in the meantime I've found someone else's blog post that begins to describe my level of discomfort. Bear with me while I have these moments this week. I was raised by people who could be the grandparents of most of my friends. In general I've had a much different perspective on moving through my own country while considered a minority--a word that always triggers an accusation of "less than" in my mind.
I'm going to sit on the post at least until I ruminate on the artistic findings at this year's WestEdge Design Fair, but for now check out this op-ed from Morgan Parker for VIDA. Here's a snippet:
"I get along with white people really well. Growing up, they brought peppermint bark down the cul-de-sac to my parents' house every Christmas. They smiled at me, lone brown spot in the classroom, as we read Dr. King's speech every February. In my graduate writing program, white classmates complimented my afro with liberal fingers, applauded my poems for their sass and bravado, asked me to explain references in Harryette Mullen's work while we were out for drinks. They're my white friends, and I'm their black friend. White people love me. It's kind of my thing.
I have never given a performance to an all-black audience.
For weeks she asks from the chair across from mine, can you describe that loneliness? My therapist is a young, thin white woman who isn't following the protests in Ferguson. What does that loneliness feel like? I kind of sink into the chair as a performance and flip my wrist. It feels regular and a little glamorously sad. She says can you think of the first time you felt that. I say generations ago. She says we have to stop. I notice my mask slipping. I put it back on before walking out to 5th avenue, weeping quietly in front of The Gap.
Having grown up in the '90's heyday of "I don't see color" and hearing the budding subconscious white supremacy in statements like "You don't act black," the playground was where I first learned about acceptance, and its price. Where I learned to make myself small, nod graciously in thanks for approval. The playground is where I learned who makes the rules. Where I learned that my identity is not up to me."
— Morgan Parker, "Reports From the Field: White People Love Me: Dispatches From The Token", on vidaweb.org
Personally, I haven't and don't buy into the last sentence quoted up there, but I've known plenty of people who have. One of the advantages to having been raised with a bit of haughtiness is that I have always loved trying on bits and pieces of new identities, then keeping what seems to bring out the best in me and discarding what doesn't. A slideshow of the many metamorphoses of my hair from age 14 to 35 might provide a great visual example. You won't see such a slideshow as 14 - 19 were a little rough--though it was from those years that I gained a love for showing up at a formal event once in a while with crimson-colored extensions in my hair. I've always been aware that there are people out there who see my skin color and decide to assume they know me, but those people never mattered to me. Maybe that's why I have such a small--but very tight--circle of actual friends. I've curated my friendships over many years.
Anyhow, this is an essay you'll want to finish reading. Check out the remainder here.

I don't know why I was in Center City Philadelphia on that particular day. But I do recall it being an especially beautiful spring day and that I was waiting for a bus to take me back to campus. I wasn't really in a rush, so instead of jumping at every bus appearing over the horizon, I took the time to soak in the sun and let my mind wander as I stood in the bus stall. I remember closing my eyes, and thinking, "Nothing can ruin this day." I probably also had the conviction that I would skip all my classes that day, which added a pinch of euphoria to my emotional state.
That's when a man's voice jolted me out of my serene stupor. "Excuse me," he said from behind me. "I hope I'm not bothering you, but are you Korean?"
I was mildly irritated that he interrupted my moment of bliss, but his voice sounded gentle and pleasant enough. I turned around, and I replied, "Yes, I am." He was a tall, white man who was probably in his early sixties. He also had a full head of greying hair, and he looked like a genuinely nice guy, almost grandfatherly, but with the energy of a giddy school boy in a toy store.
"That's great!" he exclaimed. "Were you born here?"
"No," I replied feigning a smile just to try to keep up with his enthusiasm. "I was born in Korea, and I came to the states when I was three."
"Really? I wouldn't have guessed that. You don't have an accent at all. You speak English very well." I noticed despite my "speaking English very well," he still slowed his speech down so I could understand every word.
I could tell this guy was being sincere and well-meaning, so the blatant ignorance didn't rub me as it would have had it been someone else. "Thanks," I replied.
After that, I remember us getting on the bus together. We exchanged names and engaged in some small talk about what I was studying and what he knew about Korea. Thankfully, my stop came sooner than later. Clearly, I was now in a rush.
We said our farewells, but just as I was about to step off the bus, the man shouted out, "Hey! If no one has already said this to you, welcome to America!" When I looked back to acknowledge that I heard him, I saw his big, toothy, enthusiastic smile. I conjured up another forced smile, and nodded. (Honestly, I don't remember smelling any alcohol on him.)
Walking the rest of the way back to my dorm, I felt strangely violated. Because he was so friendly and genuine, I didn't feel like I had permission to be upset at him. But that made me all the more bothered about the situation. Here is this guy bringing attention to my racial identity by complimenting me on my English and by welcoming me to the United States of America as if I was some poor, lonely alien who'd been neglected by the owners of this country. Not that I was ashamed of being Korean or looking the way I look. That wasn't it at all, at least not at this point in my life. I just wanted to have a simple bus ride back to campus. I mean, come on. Welcome to America!? Seriously?
Most of my Asian friends have experienced something like what I described above. One pastor friend of mine shared with me an encounter he had with one of the most famous pastors in America. (Let's call this famous pastor, Peter.) During a meeting with a bunch of pastors, Peter turns to my friend, and says, "Andy*, of all the Asian pastors I've ever met, you speak by far the best English!" My friend says it's the greatest compliment he's ever received, and he's not being sarcastic. I think he was just in so much awe of Peter, any recognition of my friend's existence would have been construed as a massive compliment.
Anyway, some of my Asian friends get livid when they remember or hear of such encounters. Others just write it off saying it'll get better with time and education and awareness. But we all agree about one thing: Why can't we just walk around, ride a bus, go shopping, talk with white folks without having to have our Korean ethnicity and heritage examined and trumpeted? Again, we're not ashamed of it, but it'd be nice to just be at times. I've never said to a Caucasian, "Wow, you don't have an Irish/European/etc. accent? What country were your ancestors from?"
I laughed about it in the end, and went on with my day, but I think there's a reason this memory is so well-etched into my memory.
Unfortunately, this type of thing still happens often today. But when my friends lash out, they get even more upset because then they get stereotyped as angry Asians. They find this double-bind extremely troubling as it shows that even subtle and seemingly benign "racism" can turn ugly almost instantly and that there is still a massive lack of understanding. Personally, I'm not as uptight about it because I have come to see that typically the intentions are not ill. That, of course, doesn't excuse it, but I try to be an optimist about it, especially because my "non-Asian" friends give me so much hope. (Personally, I hate to use "non-Asian" when referring to my friends, as they are simply my friends. But for the purposes of clarity and distinction, I'll be using that descriptor in this series of posts.)

Message:How about adding a "don't know/didn't see it" option for the "view" question when rating hills? Currently if you climb a hill to be greeted by a summit view of 30 feet of mist then you either can't rate it or have to guess what the view might be like on a better day. All the other qualities aren't weather dependent so "view" is the odd one out (tongue not entirely in my cheek).

Possible Arderin Beg in the DerryveaghsContext of comment:On the way down Drumnalifferny and its NE Top on 25. November I started my descent towards the E down to Lough Maumbeg (Loch an Mhama Beag). There is a minor top just E of it (approx. grid ref. B 93955 16182) which could possibly have the prominence to be an Arderin Beg, although this did not sound obvious from below. I stopped for a few minutes by the lough and then for another few minutes at the top for the GPS to settle and the height difference suggested was 16-18m.

Patient traveling from Africa prompts Ebola scare at CMC
When they realized one of their patients had recently traveled in Africa, doctors at Carolinas Medical Center's emergency department took precautions early Wednesday to prevent possible spread of an infectious disease.
They roped off a portion of the ER and placed the patient in isolation for about seven hours, leading to rumors, both inside and outside the hospital, that Ebola might be the cause of the patient's fever.
But by mid-morning doctors and public health officials had ruled out the risk of Ebola, which has been prominent in the news because of the outbreak in west Africa, where a Charlotte missionary is being treated for the deadly infection.
"We acted out of an abundance of caution," said Dr. Katie Passaretti, medical director for infection prevention at Carolinas HealthCare System. She said a corridor in the emergency department was closed for about seven hours, and the patient was isolated until doctors concluded there was no public threat.
The patient arrived in the ER about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday but didn't disclose his travel history until about 3 a.m., Passaretti said. After consulting with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Passaretti said CMC doctors concluded there was no need to test the patient for the Ebola virus.
Passaretti and Mecklenburg County Health Director Dr. Marcus Plescia said the response was part of the normal process for reporting infectious disease threats and protecting staff, patients and the public. Plescia said hospital officials alerted the health department's medical director in the middle of the night.
In the course of the night, Plescia said, the patient tested positive for malaria, a mosquito-borne disease that also causes fever but is not transmitted person to person. Passaretti declined to confirm that diagnosis, citing privacy reasons, but she said the patient was discharged after testing positive for another disease.
The emergency department remained open throughout, Passaretti said. But roping off even a section of the ER prompted a flurry of panic Wednesday morning when it was reported on TV websites and Twitter that a "patient was being tested." Rumors circulated, even inside CMC, that the precautions might be related to Ebola.
State health officials also issued a statement Wednesday saying "the patient's illness and epidemiologic information are NOT consistent with Ebola infection."

A manager at a veteran affair's clinic is in hot water after she sent an email over Christmas time to staff members showing an elf that pleaded for Xanax and appeared to hang himself. The woman, Robin Paul, runs the clinic's transition program, which also offers mental health services. So you'd think that suicidal thoughts and mental health issues wouldn't be a laughing matter to this woman, but apparently they were.
Paul is a manager at the Roudebush Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. It's unclear how many staff members were involved in the email, but the elf reportedly appears to have instructions to pass him along.
In the email, titled "Naughty Elf in the STICC clinic," the elf is shown pleading for Xanax and says "Help!" when told the clinic was out of the drug. He then hangs himself in some Christmas lights -- that photo is titled "Caught in the act of suicidal behavior."
I get that people dealing with emotionally-disturbed vets must see a lot of trauma and are probably just blowing off steam by using inappropriate humor, but it does make you wonder how sympathetic they really are to vets problems? Vets have a right to go into a clinic and ask for help without wondering if they will be made fun of when their backs are turned.
In fact, it is these kinds of attitudes that might prevent a vet from seeking mental health help! The last thing we need to do is anything that might make a vet think that getting help is something to be ashamed of -- it is NOT.

The manager, who apologized for the email, has been suspended. But the damage is done.
Let's hope that vets who seek help realize that they are strong people and we're proud of them.
Do you think someone should get fired?

Post-Game Report: Newcastle v. Chelsea
My heart was with my boys from Tyneside as three of our starting XI were all on suspensions and we were playing against the reigning champion and (until yesterday) the table leader for basically the entire season. However, a communication error between Chelsea defender Alex and keeper Cech was capitalized upon by up-and-coming English national and Newcastle #9 Andy Carroll making the Blues come from behind to squeeze out one point from this away match, meaning Chelsea has only four points to show for their last five matches.
On one side, I firmly believe Tim Krul could've saved Kalou's strike had it not been deflected off of Newcastle defender Simpson's leg and went in the net's back corner. But then again, if it had not been for a simple error by a established defender, Carroll wouldn't have had such an easy time putting the Toons up so early in the match. Newcastle had to stay on their toes just to try and keep Chelsea from scoring again, which they were trying to do furiously in the 2nd half. In the end, Chris Houghton is definitely a happy manager, his team's efforts with four starters sitting out (again, three on suspension and captain Kevin Nolan out on injury) were exceptional, with first-time starter Sol Campbell and Ryan Taylor playing fantastic games. Other than Carroll, Newcastle weighed heavily on wingers Guthrie and Routledge and forward Sheola Ameobi to keep pressure on Chelsea throughout the match. However if a Man of the Match other than Carroll had to be picked, I would have to pick midfielder Tiote would be it.. The defending and sweeping he performed were absolutely top-notch and his tackles were, for the most part, well-timed and definitely needed.
That isn't to say that Chelsea didn't play a great match. The footwork and passing of the Chelsea forwards is what earned them that injury time goal in the first half and continuously put pressure on the Newcastle backline during the 2nd half. However, this is definitely not the same team that played back in September. Perhaps the Blues are simply finishing out a downswing and will soon return to their top form. Or, just maybe, boys in Blue simply can't perform as well as it seems they should on paper.
Newcastle on the other hand doesn't look outrageously talented on paper in comparison, despite having a well known striker in Andy Carroll, but they have put up some great results on their return to the big league, including the beatings dealt to Aston Villa and rivals Sunderland (6-1 and 5-1 respectfully). Yes, they have definitely had their low points (*cough* Bolton *cough*), but all things considering, the Toons walked on to the pitch today thinking they could pull out a good result and they definitely did.
Newcastle - Krul, Campbell, Taylor, Enrique, Simpson, Guthrie, Routledge, Tiote, Gutierrez, Ameobi, Carroll, Ranger (sub)
Chelsea - Cech, Ivanovic, Alex, Cole, Bosingwa, Obi, Malouda, Ramires, Anelka, Drogba, Kalou, Sturridge (sub)
Goals: Carroll (6'), Kalou (45')

OK, so it was a bit obvious, but every round needs an easier question, right? :-)

yeah you do, although some weeks I'd be wondering which question is the "easier one". Actually one of the good things about podquiz is that I find the level tends to balance out about the same week on week.

Wink Poppy Midnight is not like any other books I've read lately. The story is about three teens, Wink, Poppy, and Midnight. Each of them is very different and has their own story to tell. April Genevieve Tucholke's writing style is mesmerizing. The whole book read like a lovely poem. This story was beautiful and addictive.
Poppy is a mean girl. She's cruel and a bully, she has her own little group of followers called the Yellows that she loves to boss around and play games with. Midnight is in love with Poppy, but he doesn't want to be. He sees the kind of person she is and he is trying so hard to break away from her and her manipulations. That's when he meets Wink. Wink is one of the Bell children. She has the nickname "Feral Bell" because most of the other kids her age think she's a little weird. She loves fairy tales and reading about adventures in books. When Midnight moves in next door she thinks it's a sign that her own adventure is starting.
We follow all three of these characters throughout the book and get to see the story through each of their viewpoints. I enjoyed the different narrators and they all have such independent voices. You could tell who's point of view it was without seeing the names in the beginnings of the chapters. Midnight is the main character, caught between two girls and trying to start over. I liked Midnight and felt his struggle when it came to Poppy and Wink. He is a nice guy and just wants to be with someone who actually wants him back. Poppy is easy to hate, she's mean, cruel, and loves to play games. As the story goes on you start to see Poppy as more than just a mean girl and even start to sympathize with her at certain points. Wink is a strange character, she is obsessed with fairy tales and making real life just like a story. She seems too naive and childlike to be real. At times I just couldn't take her character seriously at all, and she kind of annoyed me.
The messy little triangle between Poppy, Midnight, and Wink is really interesting. Poppy is determined not to lose Midnight, not because she loves him but just because she hates to lose. Midnight tries so hard to stay away from Poppy and he genuinely likes Wink and wants to spend time with her. At the beginning of the book, it seems pretty clear that Poppy is the villain and Midnight and Wink might be the heroes of the story. As the book goes on it becomes harder and harder to tell who's the villain and who's the hero. The lines get really blurry and it's hard to trust any of our narrators.
When I finished this book I realized there are no heroes or villains, just people with different motivations. It's hard to point out who's right or wrong in the end, everyone has their own baggage and does questionable things. I enjoyed the plot twist, which I didn't see coming. The writing was enthralling and just drew me in. I loved the lyrical prose throughout the book and it just added to the atmosphere the author was building throughout the story. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a mystery and a story that's a little out there.
And the perfect gif to sum up this story…

During the summer vacation, a team of selected students from Yeshiva University runs an English-language summer camp for Israeli youth, providing them with a safe space, a healthy and nutritious environment, and a positive educational framework, using the arts, sports and teaching English. By giving personal attention to each trainee, the summer camp allows for personal growth and strengthens the sense of value and self-confidence of each participant. The program is implemented in close cooperation with the municipal education department, partnerships together, the Jewish Agency, the high school, the community center, English teachers, educators and parents.
Students from Yeshiva University who participate in the operation of the camps are engaged in supplementary studies, workshops and classes that relate directly to volunteer work. This learning takes place in seminars run in the weeks preceding the camp, and the following week. The curriculum includes social activism; Zionist studies with an emphasis on the Negev; A background to the development of development towns and center-periphery relations, and an examination of pedagogy and educational methodology. In addition to the above, during the camp there are two days of trips in which the students can go out and learn about the above subjects in informal and enjoyable ways.
The Counterpoint camps are held in three southern cities: Kiryat Malachi, Arad and Dimona.
Thanks to the support of the Jewish Agency for our program, we were able to expand the program in another week, a point that was requested by all the youth coordinators in the cities that hold the program. In the past, the camp lasted two weeks, and this year we have extended the project to three weeks, which strengthens the connection between the youth and the counselors and enables them to reach the educational goals in a much more effective way.

Marabou Stork
Leptopilos crumeniferus
|The Marabou Stork (Leptopilos crumeniferus) is a widespread species of the grasslands and savannas of Africa. It is a large, powerful species and often feeds on the leftovers from game kills and other carrion. It also catches frogs, fish, rodents, and pretty much anything else. The bird shown here was one of a group of about a dozen individuals feeding in a drying lake bed near Phalaborwa, Limpopo Province, South Africa in January, 2006. These digital shots were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II & EF 500mm F/4L IS lens and 1.4X extender.

"The Man Who Loved Yngve" ("Mannen Som Elsket Yngve")
A Love Triangle
Amos Lassen
Norwegian director Stian Kristiansen takes us back in time to an era with no modern communications technology; a time when life seemed so much simpler.
Jarle cannot spend time enough with his girlfriend Katrine that is when he's not out skating. Yet more than anything he loves music, having formed a punk band with his friend Helge and it is set to debut on the local scene. It is 1989 and Jarle's life is about to become confusing. A new kid, Yngve, a blond haired youth of differing musical and cultural background has arrived on the scene and he seems to have everything going for him, including Jarle who is soon openly flirting with him. Jarle realizes that he is in love with two people of different genders at the same time. It does seem that he leans more to the gay side from the way he looks at Yngve and dresses and fools with his hair. He is, as we say, smitten.
Music is important to the plot and we either hear from the bands or hear references to them (The Smiths; Combat Rock; Joy Division; Jesus and Mary Chain; REM The One I Love; The Cure).
Katrine (Ida Elise Bloch) is beautiful, passionate, drinks with the boys, goes to band practice, cries when boyfriend tries out new song on guitar and often initiates sex. She is a girl who is one of the gang and never lets anyone forget that she is female. However she isn't enough for Jarle and when a new handsome male blonde arrives at school, he is taken aback. They first talk in the locker room shower, of all places. They plus Katrine become a rock trio but Jarle is filled with angst about being in love with two people. Our new boy aside from his good looks shares his drawings with Jarle. The boys practice together, deal with family issues and buy pot. Jarle and Katrine have good sex, Jarle can perform.
Through the film we relive frustrating years of youth. At the center of this is Jarle who has confidence and popularity. He has two great friends and a beautiful girl, but is searching for his true identity. His friends are anti-pop, button-wearing rockers who detest the yuppie culture and put almost anything down to maintaining their integrity. Their friendship and their slightly up-and-coming rock band are the only things sacred to them. Then Yngve appears and he is different in appearance and tone. He listens to arty synth pop (Japan), plays tennis and wears fashionable clothes. Jarle is intrigued, his friends are not.
The film's aspirations and objectives are diverse, complex and not at all straightforward. Director Stian Kristiansen combines spoof/homage with profound discussions on identity, sexual orientation and youth. The acting is uniformly excellent. This is an Important and uplifting film that is convincing and well made. I have not seen many Norwegian films but if this is an example of what Norway can do, I am ready to seek them out.

The Swirl CPU cooler looks a little like a large six-legged aluminum bug mounted on a tall cylindrical pedestal. It uses three sintered powder all copper heat pipes that are nearly a centimeter thick. Its all copper base and aluminum fins provide good cooling for those hot 130W to 150W microprocessors.
The Swirl does its job in style, with both good looks and quality construction. Its heat sink and heat pipes are both soldered and protected with a thin layer of dark nickel coating. The coating not only preserves the Swirl's looks, but protects it from oxidation. Its fan, mounted vertically, features four bright red LEDs. If you enjoy modding your case, just imagine how sweet that red glow will look right near your computer's brain.
The Swirl offers a lot more than just killer good looks. Spire designed it with straight-lined heat pipes to let air easily pass through. The vertical 7.5 centimeter fan sports nine blades, and a manual fan speed control. Its PCI controller lets you set the fan's speed from 800 RPM to 2000 RPM. Want more proof of its quality? The Swirl comes with a five-year manufacturer-supported warranty.
Do you prefer Intel inside, or AMD? It doesn't matter; the Swirl supports both. Specifically, it is compatible with the latest ATX boards based on the Intel and AMD Micro-processors sockets 775/1156/1366 for Intel and AM2/AM3/940/939 for AMD.
The Swirl's manufacturer suggested retail price is $52.99 in the US, or EUR 36.99 elsewhere. For that price, you get the Swirl heat sink, vertical fan, one PCI fan speed control unit, BlueFrost thermal interface compound, Intel universal mounting set, AMD universal mounting set, motherboard back-plate, user installation manual, and warranty registration card.
Spire hopes to appeal to enthusiasts, gamers, and professionals alike with this CPU cooler. If you want more information, you can check out the cooler on Spire's product page for the Swirl: http://www.spire-corp.com/main/product_detail.asp?ProdID=975.
