Meet Our Team
If you've tried therapy, classes, or training that resulted in pain or produced minimal results, you know that not all movement is created equal. Precision's philosophy is based on natural human development and the most advanced scientific research on efficient body motion available. Dr. James Vegher and Dr. Chris Christensen founded Precision Physical Therapy & Fitness after spending years in traditional rehab facilities. Both therapists struggled to reconcile methods they had seen significantly improve the speed of recovery in their patients with traditional physical therapy techniques. By evaluating each patient's needs and unique body, James and Chris experienced a high rate of success and were able to create a teaching and learning environment for other therapists and patients. When faced with a large number of patients returning to therapy after attempting to exercise and injuring themselves, Precision's co-owners developed fitness classes that solidify and put into practice the movement principles that keep our clients moving well, without pain, for life.
Precision Physical Therapy & Fitness is conveniently located in mid-county Santa Cruz, on the Soquel Avenue frontage road near 41st Avenue. 8030 Soquel Ave. Suite #200 Santa Cruz, CA 95062 831.464.8200831.464.8200Contact Us

The writing on the (bathroom) wall
Peter Jones offers some brief commentary on "gender-open" washrooms and worldview.
The Loss of Pastoral Credibility
Alastair Roberts:
On the Internet, one soon discovers that many respected church leaders are quite unable to deal directly with opposing viewpoints. In fact, many of them can't even manage meaningful engagement with other voices. Their tweets may be entirely one-way conversations. They talk at their audiences. They can talk about other voices, but fail to talk to them, let alone with them. Their representations of opposing viewpoints reveal little direct exposure to the viewpoints in question. They may talk about 'postmodernism', but one has good reason to believe that they have never read any postmodern philosopher. They make bold generalizations about 'feminism', but you can be pretty certain that they don't know their Butler from their Greer or their Irigaray. When they are actually exposed to an intelligent and informed critic, they reveal themselves to be reactive and ignorant. Their views are quite incapable of withstanding the stress-testing of disputation.

The Next Chapter for Christian Publishing
Karen E Yates:
Earlier this month, renowned Christian author Philip Yancey said Farewell to the Golden Age of Christian publishing, leaving authors and readers concerned over the future of the industry. One author shared, "This is why I'm re-evaluating whether I want to be a writer anymore." Another said, "This is just depressing."
Working with my family's Christian literary agency and law firm, Yates & Yates, I've witnessed some of the obstacles and opportunities in today's ever-changing book market. While the industry looks different in the 21st century, many authors who have adapted to the new era find Christian publishing remains alive and well.

Bring Back the Holy Kiss
Megan Hill:
We might be tempted to think of the holy kiss as a practice for a particular first-century culture, too fraught with issues for our day. But this imperative covers the wide diversity of the New Testament church. Paul commands it, and Peter commands it, too. It is required of the Jewish-background diaspora recipients of Peter's epistle, and also of the Roman and Thessalonian churches—bodies largely composed of Gentile converts. Twice, the holy kiss is commanded for the Corinthian church, a church so beleaguered by sexual impropriety that you'd think the apostle Paul would ban touch altogether.

Antarctic high altitude balloon observations of solar flares: Life and work on the ice
Dr. Hazel Bain, University of California, Berkeley
The Gamma-Ray Imager/Polarimeter for solar flares (GRIPS) instrument is a balloon-borne telescope designed to study particle acceleration in solar flares. The process through which stored magnetic energy is released and particles are accelerated to high energies in solar flares is not well understood. Hard x-rays and gamma-rays are direct signatures of these accelerated particles and can be used as a proxy to investigate particle acceleration mechanisms in these explosive events.
In the austral summer of 2016, GRIPS began its inaugural flight from NASA's Long Duration Balloon (LDB) facility just outside McMurdo, Antarctica. During the 12 day flight, the balloon was carried around the Antarctic continent by the seasonal stratospheric polar vortex. At the end of the 2016 season, the data vaults were recovered however due to the lateness of the season a full recovery was scheduled for the following year.
In this talk I will discuss the GRIPS instrument design and science goals, the process of testing and integration leading up to a balloon launch, the inaugural flight and subsequent instrument recovery this year from the GRIPS landing site out in Antarctica's "flat white". I'll also talk a little bit about life and work on the ice.
Giant Planet Shielding of the Inner Solar System Revisited: Blending Celestial Mechanics with Advanced Computation
Dr. William Newman, UCLA
The Earth has sustained during the last billion years as many as five catastrophic collisions with asteroids and comets which led to widespread species extinctions. Our own atmosphere was literally blown away 4.5 billion years ago by a collision with a Mars-sized impactor. However, collisions with comets originating in the outer solar system accreted much of the present-day atmosphere. Relatively advanced life on our planet is the beneficiary of a number of impact events during Earth's history which built our atmosphere without destroying a large fraction of terrestrial life. Using very high precision Monte Carlo integration methods to explore the orbital evolution over hundreds of millions of years followed by the application of celestial mechanical techniques, the presentation will explain directly how Earth was shielded by the combined influence of Jupiter and Saturn, assuring that only 1 in 100,000 potential collisions with the Earth will materialize.
Dr. S. Markert, NMSU
The weak gravitational lensing of galaxy clusters is a valuable tool. The deflection of light around a lens is solely dependent on the underlying distribution of foreground mass, and independent of tracers of mass such as the mass to light ratio and kinematics. As a direct probe of mass, weak lensing serves as an independent calibration of mass-observable relationships. These massive clusters are objects of great interest to astronomers, as their abundance is dependent on the conditions of the early universe, and accurate counts of clusters serve as a test of cosmological model. Upcoming surveys, such as LSST and DES, promise to push the limit of observable weak lensing, detecting clusters and sources at higher redshift than has ever been detected before. This makes accurate counts of clusters of a given mass and redshift, and proper calibration of mass-observable relationships, vital to cosmological studies.
We used M> 10 13.5 h −1 M ⊙ halos from the MultiDark Planck simulation at z∼0.5 to study the behavior of the reduced shear in clusters. We generated 2D maps of convergence and shear the halos using the GLAMER lensing library. Using these maps, we simulated observations of randomly placed background sources, and generate azimuthal averages of the shear. This reduced shear profile, and the true reduced shear profile of the halo, is fit using analytical solutions for shear of the NFW, Einasto, and truncated NFW density profile. The masses of these density profiles are then compared to the total halo masses from the halo catalogs.
We find that fits to the reduced shear for halos extending past ≈ 2 h −1 Mpc are fits to the noise of large scale structure along the line of sight. This noise is largely in the 45 ◦ rotated component to the reduced tangential shear, and is a breakdown in the approximation of g tan ≈g tot required for density profile fitting of clusters. If fits are constrained to a projected radii of < 2 h −1 Mpc, we see massively improved fits insensitive to the amount of structure present along the line of sight.
The growth of Earth's inner core: a new technique to constrain seismic properties in its outermost layers
Dr. Lauren Waszek, Department of Physics, NMSU
The inner core displays a hemispherical difference in seismic velocity, attenuation, and anisotropy, which is well-established from seismic studies. Recent observations reveal increasingly complex and regional features. However, geodynamical models generally only attempt to explain the basic east-west asymmetry. Regional seismic features, such as depth-dependence anisotropy or variation in hemisphere boundaries, are difficult to reproduce and relatively poorly constrained by seismic data. Processes to generate these complex features are debated.
The structures of the inner core are suggested to be formed as the inner core grows over time. Thus, the most recently-formed outermost layers likely hold the key to understanding the geodynamical mechanisms generating the inner core properties. Current datasets of the uppermost inner core and inner core boundary are limited by uneven data coverage, however. In the very uppermost inner core, seismic waves arrive with similar travel times and interfere, making measurements difficult.
Despite the uneven coverage of current datasets, we can use them to infer a very slow inner core super-rotation. The first ever global tomographical inversion for the inner core allows us to make regional observations, and map the lateral variation in the hemispherical structures. In the uppermost inner core, we have developed a new waveform modeling technique with synthetic data to separate these seismic phases, allowing us to measure the seismic properties in the very uppermost inner core. This, in combination with geodynamical modeling, will help us determine how the inner core hemispheres and other features are generated.
Observing the Baryon Cycle in Hydrodynamic Cosmological Simulations
Jacob Vander Vliet, NMSU
An understanding of galaxy evolution requires an understanding of the flow of baryons in and out of a galaxy. The accretion of baryons is required for galaxies to form stars, while stars eject baryons out of the galaxy through stellar feedback mechanisms such as supernovae, stellar winds, and radiation pressure. The interplay between outflowing and infalling material form the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Hydrodynamic simulations provide understanding in the connection between stellar feedback and the distribution and kinematics of baryons in the CGM. To compare simulations and observations properly the simulated CGM must be observed in the same manner as the real CGM. I have developed the Mockspec code to generate synthetic quasar absorption line observations of the CGM in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. Mockspec generates synthetic spectra based on the phase, metallicity, and kinematics of CGM gas and mimics instrumental effects. Mockspec includes automatic analysis of the spectra and identifies the gas responsible for the absorption. Mockspec was applied to simulations of dwarf galaxies at low redshift to examine the observable effect different feedback models have on the CGM. While the different feedback models had strong effects on the galaxy, they all produced a similar CGM that failed match observations. Mockspec was applied to the VELA simulation suite of high redshift, high mass galaxies to examine the variance of the CGM across different galaxies in different environments. The observable CGM showed little variation between the different galaxies and almost no evolution from z=4 to z=1. The VELAs were not able to generate a CGM to match the observations. The properties of cells responsible for the absorption were compared to the derived properties from Voigt Profile decomposition. VP modeling was found to accurately describe the HI and MgII absorbing gas but failed for high ionization species such as CIV and OVI, which do not arise in the assumed coherent structures. The technique of mock QAL is useful for testing the accuracy of the simulated CGM and for verifying observational techniques, but not for differentiating between feedback prescriptions in dwarf galaxies.
The Orbital and Planetary Phase Variations of Jupiter-Sized Planets: Characterizing Present and Future Giants
Laura Mayorga, NMSU
It is commonly said that exoplanet science is 100 years behind planetary science. While we may be able to travel to an exoplanet in the future, inferring the properties of exoplanets currently relies on extracting as much information as possible from a limited dataset. In order to further our ability to characterize, classify, and understand exoplanets as both a population and as individuals, this thesis makes use of multiple types of observations and simulations.
Firstly, direct-imaging is a technique long used in planetary science and is only now becoming feasible for exoplanet characterization. We present our results from analyzing Jupiter's phase curve with Cassini/ISS to instruct the community in the complexity of exoplanet atmospheres and the need for further model development. The planet yields from future missions may be overestimated by today's models. We also discuss the need for optimal bandpasses to best differentiate between planet classes.
Secondly, photometric surveys are still the best way of conducting population surveys of exoplanets. In particular, the Kepler dataset remains one of the highest precision photometric datasets and many planetary candidates remain to be characterized. We present techniques by which more information, such as a planet's mass, can be extracted from a transit light curve without expensive ground- or space-based follow-up observations.
Finally, radial-velocity observations have revealed that many of the larger "planets" may actually be brown dwarfs. To understand the distinction between a brown dwarf and an exoplanet or a star, we have developed a simple, semi-analytic viscous disk model to study brown dwarf evolutionary history. We present the rudimentary framework and discuss its performance compared to more detailed numerical simulations as well as how additional physics and development can determine the potential observational characteristics that will differentiate between various formation scenarios.
Exoplanet science has already uncovered a plethora of previously unconsidered phenomenon. To increase our understanding of our own planet, as well as the other various possible end cases, will require a closer inspection of our own solar system, the nuanced details of exoplanet data, refined simulations, and laboratory astrophysics.
The Vulture Survey of MgII and CIV Absorbers: Feasting on the Bones of Spectra Left to Die
Nigel Mathes, NMSU
We present detailed measurements of the absorption properties and redshift evolution of MgII and CIV absorbers as measured in archival spectra from the UVES spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope (VLT/UVES) and the HIRES spectrograph at the Keck Telescope (Keck/HIRES) to equivalent width detection limits below 0.01 angstroms. This survey examines 860 high resolution spectra from various archival data sets representing 700 unique sightlines, allowing for detections of intervening MgII absorbers spanning redshifts 0.1 < z < 2.6 and intervening CIV absorbers spanning redshifts 1 < z < 5. We employ an accurate, automated approach to line detection which consistently detects redshifted absorption doublets. We observe three distinct epochs of evolution in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) as traced by MgII and CIV absorbers. At high redshifts, from 3 < z < 5, galaxies rapidly build up a metal enriched halo where, despite significant evolution in the ionizing background, the production of metals through star formation driven outflows dominates observed trends increasing the number of observed absorbers per redshift path length towards z = 3. At mid redshifts, from 2 < z < 3, a large cosmic increase in the global star formation rate drives large numbers of high column density outflows into the halos of galaxies. At this time, metal line absorption of all species is increased above all other epochs. At low redshifts, for z < 2, the universe becomes more quiescent in both star formation and ionizing background. Weak, low column density MgII absorbers proliferate, while strong MgII absorbers likely fragment or re-accrete onto their host galaxy. Strong CIV absorbers, at this time, still increase in number per absorption path, while their weaker counterparts begin to disappear. MgII and CIV absorbers appear to originate in star formation driven outflows, but their different evolutionary properties imply they represent two physically distinct phases of gas. These two phases comprise the CGM and contribute separately to the cycle of baryons into and out of galaxies.
Asteroseismology of Red Giants: The Detailed Modeling of Red Giants in Eclipsing Binary Systems
Jean McKeever, NMSU
Asteroseismology is an invaluable tool that allows one to peer into the inside of a star and know its fundamental stellar properties with relative ease. There has been much exploration of solar-like oscillations within red giants with recent advances in technology, leading to new innovations in observing. The Kepler mission, with its 4-year observations of a single patch of sky, has opened the floodgates on asteroseismic studies. Binary star systems are also an invaluable tool for their ability to provide independent constraints on fundamental stellar parameters such as mass and radius. The asteroseismic scaling laws link observables in the light curves of stars to the physical parameters in the star, providing a unique tool to study large populations of stars quite easily. In this work we present our 4-year radial velocity observing program to provide accurate dynamical masses for 16 red giants in eclipsing binary systems. From this we find that asteroseismology overestimates the mass and radius of red giants by 15% and 5% respectively. We further attempt to model the pulsations of a few of these stars using stellar evolution and oscillation codes. The goal is to determine which masses are correct and if there is a physical cause for the discrepancy in asteroseismic masses. We find there are many challenges to modeling evolved stars such as red giants and we address a few of the major concerns. These systems are some of the best studied systems to date and further exploration of their asteroseismic mysteries is inevitable.

Study: Chimpanzees bond over shared meals
BERLIN -- Chimpanzees who share are
chimpanzees who care, it seems.
A study published Wednesday appears to confirm that friendships are forged at mealtimes, at least for our closest living relatives.
Scientists from Germany, Switzerland, Britain and the United States have found that chimps who share their food have higher levels of oxytocin, known as the love hormone, than those who don't.
Oxytocin has previously been linked to bonding between mothers and their breastfeeding babies, both in primates and humans.
Researchers studying dozens of wild chimpanzees in Uganda found that the giver and the receiver of food had higher levels of oxytocin in their urine, indicating that sharing is something that makes both parties feel good.
Roman Wittig of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, said chimpanzees had more than twice the level of oxytocin after sharing food than after mutual grooming - another important bonding behavior in primates.
"We think food sharing can help spark new friendships, whereas grooming is more for confirmation of existing relationships," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
Julia Lehmann, an evolutionary anthropologist who wasn't involved in the study, called the results "very clear and highly significant." They appear to support the idea that food sharing can extend social benefits normally found in animals who are related to each other to those dining partners who aren't related, she said. In other words, the way to a chimp's heart is through its stomach.
"I also find it very interesting that the direction of the food sharing does not affect the results, i.e. it is not better to receive than to give - or the other way around - at least not in terms of oxytocin level," said Lehmann, an academic at Roehampton University in Britain.
The research was conducted on wild chimpanzees because researchers weren't sure that animals in captivity would react the same way to oxytocin, said Wittig.
Their caution results partly from studies in humans, where children who grew up in institutions sometimes struggle to form normal bonds later in life.
While no studies have yet been conducted on oxytocin levels in humans after dinnertime, Wittig said the principle would suggest a similar effect.
"We've known for decades that human mothers and breastfeeding children both have an oxytocin surge. And if we consider breastfeeding to be a form of food sharing then there's a similar mechanism in humans."
The study was published Wednesday in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

RSVP offering tax assistance to seniors throughout Madison County
MORRISVILLE -- The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Madison County through Cornell Cooperative Extension will be helping senior citizens prepare their taxes for free.
The tax prep for seniors program has been working hand-in-hand with the IRS for more than 25 years to offer the free service. The eligibility requirements state that you must be 60 or older. The program will begin on Feb. 1.
"All of the RSVP tax preparers are trained and certified by the IRS," said Certified Volunteer Advisor Mary Bartlett.
This is a volunteer position offered through RSVP for retired seniors. There are 10 volunteers this year from all over Madison County.
Bartlett said that even though some seniors may not need to file taxes due to low income, they could be eligible for other credits. The free service will show any credits the applicant could receive.
The following is a list of required paperwork:
o Valid I.D. such as a drivers license.
o Applicant's Social Security card plus that of a spouse and/or dependents.
o All forms, including W-2s and 1099s.
o Last year's tax return.
o Information on any other sources of income.
o Proof of bank account for direct deposit of refund for anyone interested. An example is a voided check.
Walk-ins for the program are welcome at the Oneida Public Library on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9-11:30 a.m. and the Canastota Public Library on Mondays from 9 a.m. to noon.
Anyone interested in making an appointment can call the RSVP office at 315-684-3001.

CCS adapting to COVID-19 realities to support Canadians during and after the pandemic
Radiation therapy for esophageal cancer
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays or particles to destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy is commonly used to treat esophageal cancer. Your healthcare team will consider your personal needs to plan the type and amount of radiation, and when and how it is given. You may also receive other treatments.
Radiation therapy is often used as part of chemoradiation to treat esophageal cancer. Chemoradiation is treatment that combines chemotherapy with radiation therapy. Chemotherapy is given during the same time period as radiation therapy.
Radiation therapy is given for different reasons. You may have radiation therapy, usually as part of chemoradiation, to:
- shrink a tumour before other treatments such as surgery (called neoadjuvant chemoradiation)
- destroy cancer cells in the body (chemoradiation may be used as the primary treatment if you can't have, or choose not to have, surgery)
- destroy adenocarcinoma cells left behind after surgery and reduce the risk of the cancer coming back, or recurring (called adjuvant chemoradiation)
Radiation therapy may also be used alone to relieve pain or control the symptoms of advanced esophageal cancer (called palliative radiation therapy).
The following are the types of radiation therapy most commonly used to treat esophageal cancer.
External beam radiation therapy
Esophageal cancer is usually treated with external beam radiation therapy. During external beam radiation therapy, a machine directs radiation through the skin to the tumour and some of the tissue around it. It is usually given 5 times per week for several weeks.
The healthcare team will very carefully plan radiation therapy for esophageal cancer. Several organs close to the esophagus can be damaged by radiation, including the liver, kidneys, lungs, spinal cord and heart. Special shields are made and used during external beam radiation therapy to protect other organs in the area as much as possible.
Brachytherapy is internal radiation therapy. It uses a radioactive material called a radioactive isotope. It is placed right into, or very close to, the tumour. The radiation kills the cancer cells over time.
Brachytherapy is often used in combination with external beam radiation therapy for esophageal cancer. The brachytherapy gives a boost of additional radiation. It may be given before or after external beam radiation therapy.
Brachytherapy may also be used as a palliative treatment in some cases. Palliative brachytherapy can slow the growth of or shrink the tumour, which can make it easier to swallow or stop bleeding.
Intraluminal brachytherapy for esophageal cancer
For esophageal cancer, iridium is the most common radioactive isotope used in brachytherapy. Doctors use an endoscope or nasogastric (NG) tube to place the radioactive implant inside the esophagus. This approach is called intraluminal, or transluminal, brachytherapy. Intraluminal means within a tube or passage in the body.
Doses of brachytherapy
Brachytherapy for esophageal cancer is given in low-dose or high-dose rates:
Low-dose rate (LDR) therapy delivers continuous, low doses of radiation over time (usually a few days). People who receive LDR therapy usually have to stay in the hospital and follow special radiation safety precautions to protect others.
High-dose rate (HDR) therapy delivers a single, high dose of radiation in a very short period of time. A single treatment usually takes a few minutes and you don't need to stay in the hospital.
Questions to ask about radiation therapy
Find out more about radiation therapy. To make the decisions that are right for you, ask your healthcare team questions about radiation therapy.
A thin, tube-like instrument with a light and lens used to examine or treat organs or structures in the body.
An endoscope can be flexible or rigid. It may have a tool to remove tissue for examination. Specialized endoscopes may have tools designed to examine or treat specific organs or structures in the body.
Specialized endoscopes are named for the organ or structure they are used to examine or treat.
A flexible tube (catheter) that is inserted through the nose, down the throat and esophagus, into the stomach.
An NG tube can be used to deliver nutrients, liquids or drugs directly into the stomach, or to remove the contents of the stomach.
I was in total shock when I heard the diagnosis of cancer. Cancer to me was an adult's disease. Being a 13-year-old teenager, it certainly wasn't even on my radar.
Making progress in the cancer fight

ATLANTA (AP) — Officials say financing terms have been reached for the Atlanta Falcons' $1 billion stadium proposal, keeping the team's home games in the city's downtown. The City Council must now vote on the proposal.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and Falcons owner Arthur Blank announced the financing deal Thursday at a news conference along with the Georgia governor.
Reed says the public contribution to stadium construction through hotel-motel tax revenue will be capped at $200 million.
He says the Falcons will pay $800 million and an additional $50 million for infrastructure-related costs associated with construction.
The franchise is also responsible for paying for any budget overruns.

Third Lip will take the stage at the Beverly Hilton next next Sunday for the Golden Globe Awards as Granny Freeze Nicole Kidman has been confirmed as a presenter, likely in support of Nine which is up for 5 awards, including acting nods for Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, and DDL. She herself has not been recognised. Because she sucked.
Gran spent the holiday in Australia with Keith Urban and Sunday Rose and they were photographed at the airport today heading home… perhaps to get her face refreshed in advance of the event where Ricky Gervais will be presiding. And drinking. And he's the king of the awkward moment.
So what will happen when Ricky meets Third Lip?
Oh Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Please let him get smashed. Because if he gets smashed enough, he will introduce himself to Third Lip. Live. And it will be glorious. It will be a Smutty Epic.
Here's one of Ricky's Golden Globe ads now running. I die every time I hear him talk about the "Brange school". And that giggle…
By the way, please tell me you've seen this:

Pictures and Review of Christian Siriano Spring Summer New York Fashion Week Runway Show
2013 Spring New York Fashion Week: Christian Siriano
2013 Spring New York Fashion Week: Christian Siriano
We weren't the only ones swept away by Christian Siriano's dreamy pastel-hued Spring 2013 collection — you could hear the excited gasps all around, as each frothy confection and bow-adorned pump took its turn on the catwalk. Tapping into many a little girl's fantasy of princess gowns, bejewelled everything (or in this case, shoes), and the prettiest shades of pink and robin egg blue, Christian's latest offerings struck an ultra-girlie-turned-balletic chord. Even the models' high buns indicated that, at any given moment, a rogue series of pirouettes may take its course before our very eyes. With that said, it wasn't just fairytale gowns on hand. We spotted soft watercolour-hued shirtdresses paired with metallic pink brogues, textured ankle-cropped trouser-and-blazer combos, slicker leather jackets, and peplum tops, too — giving this feminine styler an easy way to go from day to night. By show's end, there were more than a few beautifully draped white gowns, some embellished with crystals and feathers, to add to our wedding dress must-have list. A point that proves, from start to finish, that Christian's collection catered to serious fashion fantasy.
- Trends: Peplum, girlie accoutrements, sweetheart necklines, and draped silhouettes.
- Colors: Soft pastel hues à la baby pink, powder blue, and creamy white.
- Key Piece: While the glam gowns took the cake, we're lusting after the more daytime-wearable collared shirtdresses.
- Accessories: Crystal-encrusted loafer pumps, bow-adorned heels, metallic oxfords, and retro round sunglasses.
- Who Should Wear It: A-listers will clamor to get their hands on some of the red-carpet-worthy gowns — Camila Alves and Sofia Vergara would make the tulle-laden gowns look absolutely regal.

Brandon Jenner's Romantic Wedding Photo
Jenner and his bride, Leah Felder, share a quiet moment on the beach in Hawaii
Ah, the look of love.
Brandon Jenner and his new bride Leah Felder embody romance in a snapshot from their intimate Hawaiian wedding.
Jenner, 30, the son of Bruce Jenner, and Felder, daughter of former Eagles guitarist Don Felder, tied the knot during a sunset ceremony on Thursday evening.
Jenner, dressed in a crisp gray suit, and Felder, wore a Monique Lhuillier gown and carried white orchids. She left her long, blonde hair loose except for a matching white orchid.
The newlyweds look like they're already in perfect synch as they take a stroll together. Their connection is no surprise: The sweethearts have known each other since high school and grew up together in Malibu.
The bride is taking Jenner's last name, the groom's mom Linda Thompson tells PEOPLE.

Developing writing through camera shots
We can extend creative writing effectively by linking each shot to a particular activity when writing. Linking camera shots and positions to a series of stills can provide a great writing stimulus for each image which, when joined together, will create a carefully considered narrative.
The instructions below detail how each camera shot can be used as a catalyst for creative writing, helping learners to understand which exemplar sentence starters can be used with each type of shot in order to frame their writing.
In the example below we'll be using stills from Week 2's The Girl and the Fox as stimulus:
Shot 1 – Extreme long shot
When faced with an extreme long shot students may wish to create:
A short paragraph with two sentences:
- Sentence one should set the scene with descriptions of the setting and an introduction to character.
- Sentence two should include three distinct elements of action/description (the rule of three).
For example: The sun began to rise above the snow-covered trees, leaving the girl in shadow. She stood (1), frozen (2), looking down at the carcasses of her beloved ducks (3).
Shot 2 – Long shot
When faced with a long shot, students may wish to create:
A sentence which opens with a simile.
For example: Like a blanket, the fox wrapped its tail around the freezing girl.
Shot 3 - Medium shot
When faced with a medium shot, students may wish to create:
A sentence which starts with a word ending in 'ed'.
For example: Startled, the fox turned round to face the girl.
Shot 4 - Low angle, medium shot
When faced with a low angle shot, students may wish to create:
A sentence which starts with a word ending in 'ing'.
For example: Lying on the frozen ground, the girl started to lose consciousness.
Shot 5 – Close up
When faced with a close up, students may wish to create:
A possessive pronoun sentence starter.
For example: His face was passive but hers was filled with anger.
Shot 6 - Extreme close up
When faced with an extreme close up, students may wish to create:
A descriptive adverb sentence starter.
For example: Angrily, she held the knife in her hand.
You have already sequenced the stills from Nightshift and filled in the Shot List template so now using the above suggestions, create a sentence for each of the stills in column three. Once you have completed a sentence for each still simply put them all together and you will have written a short story!
Have we managed to create a variety of suggestions with a range of different sentence types?

1. Re: Jboss crash mod_cluster notificationkazaag Apr 11, 2012 6:03 AM (in response to kazaag)
I have had a look a the mod_cluster protocol documentation.
Sending a wildcard REMOVE_APP command for the coresponding jvmroute should clear the failling node.
Is REMOVE_APP callable from the mod_cluster-manager handler?
2. Re: Jboss crash mod_cluster notificationrhusar Apr 11, 2012 6:17 AM (in response to kazaag)
what is the actual problem? The crashed node and its contexts will be removed in about a minute after the crash. Your new node will register with new route thus will not interfere with already crashed node.
Is REMOVE_APP callable from the mod_cluster-manager handler?
AFAIR yes, try the CLI interface.
In presious Jboss as there was a HASingelton managing all AS mod_cluster comunication, it is avalable in Jboss AS 7?
There is not much real-life benefit in mod_cluster usage of HASingleton service, thus it was removed.
3. Re: Jboss crash mod_cluster notificationkazaag Apr 11, 2012 7:48 AM (in response to rhusar)
Rado thanks for the reply.
I run Jboss in state less instances, when an instance crash or is removed it is removed form the vlan before the termination signal is send to JBoss process, so it can't interact with mod_cluster.
In my experience, the crashed or removed jvmroute stays on the mod_cluster-manager page is faild status. Time to time it is back to ok status (until it detect it is down). So I fear that some request try to get to the not any more existing jvmroute adding a small delay.
Over time the config on mod_cluster side will be full of not avalable jvmroute.
We already have environment change even processing, so using mod_cluster-management to update the state when the even occure will look cleaner.
When I have some time, I will retest it and provide you the mod_cluster-management details.

Up to $2500 dollar fine for violations
Paul Joseph Watson
Thursday, June 7, 2012
Audi's infamous 'Green Police' Superbowl commercial may not be far off coming to fruition. Miami Beach has passed an ordinance that makes recycling compulsory from July 2013, with those who fail to comply under threat of fines up to $2500 dollars.
"People, who live in the city of Miami Beach, must soon recycle or possibly face fines," reports Local10.com.
"Once the ordinance goes in effect in July 2013, people who don't recycle would be fined $350 for their first violation, $500 for their second violation and $1,000 for the third violation."
The Miami Herald reports that the fine for a fourth violation would total $2500.
Mandatory recycling ordinances represent another example of how big government is exploiting the environmental movement to increase regulation and big brother snooping on Americans' private lives.
Local authorities across the U.S. are using cutting edge technology to spy on the contents of people's trash cans and issue them with fines for non-compliance.
"In a growing number of cities across the U.S., local governments are placing computer chips in recycling bins to collect data on refuse disposal, and then fining residents who don't participate in recycling efforts and forcing others into educational programs meant to instill respect for the environment," reports Fox News.
Such programs are already in place in major cities such as Charlotte, N.C., Cleveland, Ohio, Boise, Idaho, and Flint, Michigan.
In Cleveland, people who fail to recycle are flagged by the RFID chip embedded in their trash can, added to a database and then targeted by green cops who are dispatched to intimidate homeowners.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
If a resident fails to bring their recycling cart to the curb for as little a period as three weeks, a "trash supervisor" rummages through their regular trash to check if the resident is throwing away recyclable materials (glass, metal cans, plastic bottles, paper and cardboard). If the regular trash can contains more than 10% of these items, a $100 dollar fine is immediately issued.
"We're going to run reports on who this particular truck picked up from today and if it indicates on a consistent basis that your household hasn't been recycling, then we have officers that I will send out … to check and see what's going on," Waste Collection Commissioner Ronnie Owens told ABC News.
Back in December, Washington DC resident Patricia White was fined $2,000 dollars by the Department of Public Works for throwing homemade cat litter in her trash. The inspector admitted to literally digging through White's trash in order to issue the ticket.
Harvard University computer science professor and privacy expert Harry Lewis warns that the nationwide effort to keep tabs on the contents of people's trash betrays the fact that the government views the American people as livestock.
"It's treating people like cattle!" said Lewis. Are people "supposed to produce recyclable waste, rather than certain quantities of milk"? What, he asked, happens if you don't generate enough?

http://mmajunkie.com A late change is now official, and World Extreme Cagefighting's first-ever trip to Colorado is now complete with 11 contests.
The WEC on Tuesday night announced that Jason Reinhardt (20-1 MMA, 0-0 WEC) will indeed make his promotional debut at WEC 51 when he faces Chinese import Tiequan Zhang (11-0 MMA, 0-0 WEC).
Reinhardt steps in for Alex Karalexis (10-5 MMA, 4-3 WEC), who was forced to withdraw. The change was previously reported by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Featuring a main event between featherweight champion Jose Aldo and top contender Manny Gamburyan, "WEC 51: Aldo vs. Gamburyan" takes place Sept. 30 in Broomfield, Colo.
Zhang vs. Reinhardt takes place on the non-televised portion of WEC 51.
It's been more than two years since Reinhardt stepped into the cage. After going undefeated in his first 18 professional fights, he met Joe Lauzon at UFC 78 and was one-and-done with the promotion after a quick submission loss.
Reinhardt won his next two fights on the regional circuit, but he has been inactive since January 2008. The bulk of his career wins have come by armbar submission.
Zhang, a native of Inner Mongolia, has won all but one of his 11 professional fights in the first round – the time of stoppage on his first fight is unknown – and most recently dispatched Daniel Digby in 30 seconds in June's Legend Fighting Championship 2.
It's Zhang's first fight in the U.S.

Who is she?
She has a strong, magnetic personality and possesses a natural authority, and other qualities that are more readily attributed to men than women: she is ambitious, assertive, courageous, energetic and highly adaptable and knows exactly how to seize an opportunity when it comes her way. She is down to earth, practical and rather materialistic. Of particularly impatient nature, Miracle is fast and efficient, but lacking in tolerance which could make her seem hard or even brutal. She is inclined to be argumentative, with a touch of stubbornness and even bad faith, one thing´s for sure: she´s got character! As a child, she will need constant and firm but fair discipline (fortunately, she is usually responsible, well-balanced and aware of her actions), otherwise she could be the one setting the rules! Her freedom is sacred and this should be taken into account when allotting responsibilities, even if her impulsiveness gives you the shivers, because this haughty and uncompromising young lady is capable of flying off the handle if she feels that she is being taken advantage of and could easily become rebellious. Her parents would be wise to help build her self-esteem since she can be thin-skinned and jealous, although it is recommended to approach this with humor. She will need lots of exercise to allow her to work off her gigantic supply of excess energy, and lastly, the birds and the bees will need explaining as early on as possible, because love will be on her mind from the moment she rides her first bicycle!
What does she like?
Miracle enjoys winning, being admired and desired, and expressing herself, at which she excels! Furthermore, she is a gourmand and a sensualist, Epicurean in a word, and she certainly knows how to appreciate the good things in life. She seems to enjoy confrontation, risk and adventure, and although she is often lucky, she isn´t immune to accidents or injuries. Where her romantic life is concerned, she is usually the one to choose her mate, and she won´t hesitate to take the first step if necessary. If she is in a relationship, her freedom must be preserved at all costs, while paradoxically, she is capable of transforming into a jealous monster if her partner dares to glance in another woman´s direction! Make no mistake, gentlemen: she´s the one who´ll be wearing the trousers!
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What does she do?
Professional accomplishment is paramount for Miracle , with the influence of her active number 35, which is dynamic and an indication of material success. She will probably insist on her own career, unless she can somehow live her ambition through the intermediary of her partner. She is likely to be attracted to a profession connected to the world of business (finance, management, economy, banking, accounting...), related to trade or travel, or with a certain power (law enforcement, medicine...), or in connection with any form of communication or expression, and foreign languages.

|High-carb diets may be better than low-carb diets
In contrast with popular reports that low-carbohydrate diets are safe and effective for weight loss, a study by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that people consuming a high-carbohydrate diet are more likely to have low body mass index (BMI) values.
More than 10,000 U.S. adults were asked to recall in detail all that they have eaten in the last 24-hour period. The researchers looked at carbohydrate intake, nutritional quality, and BMI. The group was divided into four groups: very low carbohydrate (30% or less of total energy intake), low carbohydrate (31 - 45%), moderate carbohydrate (46 - 55%), and high carbohydrate (more than 55%).
Results showed that while those in the high-carbohydrate group ate the same amount of food (calculated by weight) as those in the other groups, they actually consumed 200 - 300 fewer kilocalories and less fat. Women in the high-carbohydrate group had significantly lower BMIs than those in the lower carbohydrate groups. Men on the high-carbohydrate diet also showed a tendency toward a lower BMI, but this was not statistically significant. There was also greater intake of vitamin A, carotene, vitamin C, folate, calcium, magnesium, and iron among the high-carbohydrate group, and a lower amount of vitamin B12, zinc, and sodium.
The study authors concluded that "adults who obtained more than 55% of total dietary energy from carbohydrates had [a lower calorie], yet nutritious diet." High carbohydrate diets tend to include foods high in fiber and water content and low in fat, such as grains, fruits, vegetables, and reduced-fat dairy products. In contrast, authors warn that the low-carbohydrate diets popular among the public may not be low enough in calories and may be devoid of essential micronutrients.
Exactly what type of diet is best for losing weight is still unclear, however. Other studies suggest that many kinds of diets can help you lose weight -- as long as you stick to the diet. Most dieters know how hard this is. But take heart: Studies have also shown that some people do keep dieting when they see positive weight-loss results and know that they may be reducing their risk for heart disease.

PORTLAND, Maine — Alexis Wright and Mark Strong, who prosecutors say ran a prostitution business in Kennebunk for nearly a year and a half, will be arraigned Tuesday in Cumberland County Superior Court.
PORTLAND, Maine — Alexis Wright and Mark Strong, who prosecutors say ran a prostitution business in Kennebunk for nearly a year and a half, will be arraigned Tuesday in Cumberland County Superior Court.
Wright, 29, of Wells, and Strong, 57, of Thomaston, were indicted earlier this week by a York County grand jury on more than 160 charges combined. Their arraignments will take place at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday in the Portland courthouse.
Wright is facing 106 charges ranging from engaging in prostitution to tax evasion, while Strong is facing 59 charges, including promotion of prostitution and violation of privacy. Three of the charges against Wright are felonies, while the remaining are misdemeanors. All the counts against Strong are misdemeanors.
Court documents detail the operation in which Wright would allegedly have sex with clients, sometimes secretly taping them on equipment set up by Strong, all while collecting tens of thousands of dollars in fees.
The indictment documents state Strong would assist Wright with investigating patrons and "controlling, managing, supervising, or otherwise operating" the business.
Court records indicate that, while this was going on, Wright was allegedly receiving thousands of dollars in public assistance from the state, claiming to be making as little as $6,000 a year.
Strong's attorney, Daniel Lilley of Portland, said in August that evidence will show Strong was hired to investigate Wright's complaints that she was being harassed by the Kennebunk Police Department. Lilley said Strong and Wright also shared a mutual interest in private investigation.
Strong also invested in Wright's Zumba studio and loaned her money, Lilley said, which he said his client believed was a good business venture.
According to a police affidavit, prosecutors obtained a "meticulous" list of alleged prostitution clients and videos in which a woman who appears to be Wright engages in sexual acts with men without their knowledge of the taping, as well as bank, postal and phone records linking Wright and Strong. Police said they expect to begin charging Wright's alleged clients as early as next week.
