"Comedy is very controlling - you are making people laugh. It is there in the phrase 'making people laugh.' You feel completely in control when you hear a wave of laughter coming back at you that you have caused." - Gilda Radner
One day, I realized I was kind've funny and that when people laughed at my jokes, I felt like a million bucks. Unlike most of the people in my hometown, I didn't do bad things. I never got high, never got low, never got drunk and never got pregnant. {Well, I never did these things in high school.} I chose to stay home and watch movies with my friends and sometimes, SOMETIMES, take Harry Potter quizzes online. Sure, I was a nerd {still am and proud}, but I wouldn't trade any of those days for the world because I had great friends and I loved making them laugh. They made me laugh, too! But, who cares. More importantly, I made them laugh.
And plus, eventually I fell in with a group who taught me how to make bad, terrible and awful decisions, smoke pot a few times {I'm really bad at it... like technically, I can't get it down} and drink enough alcohol to remove my ability to walk. So... I've caught up.
I've stuck to this whole improv and comedy thing because at the end of the day, I like to entertain people. I love making people happy and making jokes and not taking life seriously and giving people a way out of their reality. Well, let me tell you a {not-so} secret... most people who choose this profession are MISERABLE. They hate themselves, they're insecure and they're just tough to be around.
I refuse to do that. If I'm going to entertain people, I'm going to be happy. Because nothing gives me a rush more than laughter, and as soon as it turns me into a monster... it's not worth it anymore. So... cheer up, everyone.
P.s. Happy Birthday to Alison Royer. She's labeled me an alcoholic and a gossip and has made me trek through the unfamiliar, cold streets of Chicago to get her several coffees while she worked. But, she has helped me through some super tough times. She's the beahhhsssttt!

An extension of the "Bag It!" doc: Check the SENS website next week for a list of alternatives to plastics. See "projects" with http://sensociety.org/?q=plastics. And…ask our local food stores to provide an alternative to plastic for produce using "earthwise" bags (www.earthwisebags.com/) or a similar product so we reduce plastic bag use. 80 trillion plastic bags are made each year; 3.5 tons of bags are discarded each year…all made from non-renewable oil. What a waste!
5. B.C.'s Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR): It protects farm land from development, so that we always have food-growing land to keep costs down and generate local jobs. What are your thoughts? Try the survey!

3. Thoughts from Author and Futurist Guy Dauncey: Here they are! And here's another one of Guy's recent thoughts on a New Cooperative Economy.!
4. Site C's 'Death Spiral': With the NDP's approval of the controversial Site C, residents should prepare for higher electrical rates, a taxpayer bailout, and perhaps even a "death spiral" for BC Hydro, warns a consumer watchdog. A "utility death spiral" occurs when rates rise to cover megaprojects. Higher rates lead to reduced demand, which results in more increases to cover costs. A vicious cycle that ends in bankruptcy! For the entire article, go here.
5. Ouch! A Council of Canadians report notes that over 5 years ago federal protections were removed from most of our lakes and rivers to allow easy approval of energy projects. The Trudeau government's promise to restore all protections to our lakes and rivers has not done so, and their promises to improve and modernize safeguards have not materialized. Waterways are exempt from having to pass environmental impact assessment.
6. Eco-Friendly Home Tour: It's scheduled for Saturday May 5 but mark your calendars NOW! for April 1 when tickets ($25 each) will be available at Vernon's Bean Scene or you might miss out. Thank-you to CFUW Vernon for supporting 2 $1500 scholarships for local college students through this venture.
7. Making Cities Flourish: Evergreen.ca website has interesting articles on Smart Cities ,kiln building restoration, the children's garden, revitalizing buildings and more.
1. Stop the Worsening Expansion: The largest open-pit tar sands mine ever proposed in the history of Canada is still slated to be approved using the old fossil-fuel friendly rules. The Teck mine is designed to supply pipelines, like Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline, with dirty oil to export. The mine would produce 277,000 barrels of oil every day and would destroy a huge swath of land that the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation do not want developed, Help stop this by signing this petition!
1. A Sweet Victory: Cadbury, Ferrero, and 20 other chocolate companies just committed to ending rainforest destruction in West Africa! Hopefully they'll NOT move to other countries to access chocolate tree growing areas… For more , go here.
2. Bees: A brand-new report by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adds to the mountain of scientific evidence -- that neonicotinoid pesticides are a key culprit in bees' demise.
1. Eliminating Plastic Packaging: Iceland Supermarket in Great Britain has become the first major retailer to commit to eliminate plastic packaging for all its own-brand products. The current plastic packaging would be replaced with paper and pulp trays and paper bags, which would be recyclable through domestic waste collections or in-store recycling facilities. Greenpeace estimates that about 12.7 million tonnes of plastic (all made from oil) end up in our oceans yearly.
1. Ivory Ban: Success! Hong Kong, the world's largest ivory market, just banned ivory… but there are still markets open in Europe that we need to close. Click here and add your name to that campaign.
1. Your Body's Health: "In charting a path towards a $15 minimum wage and beyond, it is important that we adopt a health equity perspective and consider the minimum wage increase as a matter of public health that can reduce health inequalities and free up public health care dollars for existing and new services." For the entire article, go here.
2. B.C.'s Budget: B.C. is long overdue for major public investments. It desperately needs a universal child care system, more affordable homes, ambitious action on climate change, stronger education and health care, and action to raise people out of poverty! And to help make it happen, we must continue to raise revenues by restoring fairness in our tax system. What we really cannot afford, however, is to stick with the status quo. Find out why in this recent piece.
1. Damage from NAFTA: Ecojustice lawyers are suiting up alongside the Government of Canada to challenge a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) ruling that could force Canada to pay more than $500 million in damages for enforcing its own environmental laws. How this case shakes out will have lasting implications on the ability of the Canadian government to enforce its own laws within our borders.
2. Polluters Must Pay: There are about 80,000 inactive oil and gas wells that have yet to be properly cleaned up and decommissioned in Alberta. Landowners have to deal with the resultant contamination to avoid passing on the toxic legacy to their children. Ecojustice, via the Supreme Court of Canada, is supporting them to ensure that a now-bankrupt company's inactive oil and gas wells are cleaned up.
1. B.C.'s Methane Emissions: According to this news, 85% of active gas wells in B.C. blow air-polluting methane into the sky. Studies, in turn, found these leaks to be massively under-reported.
2. Save the Planet: It's estimated that the human population will rise to 9 billion people by 2050; doubling the amount of food that is currently needed. But to generate this amount, the way we eat now would destroy our fresh water and surrounding environments. One solution, as this article suggests, is to add insects to our diet!
3. Safe Water for First Nations: A recent DSF report found the government failing on eight of 14 indicators developed to assess its progress on ending drinking water advisories for First Nations. Obviously, more action is needed to ensure safe water for First Nations For the full story, go here.
1. Ontario's Carbon Pricing Works: According to this press release, the government is using "cap and trade" pricing for carbon reduction properly. Presently they simply take the money generated, and fund renewable energy projects. It's not perfect, but they're heading in the right direction.
2. "What's Making Our Children Sick": This book, penned by a pediatrician, is a well-written account of health trends in children and the link to environmental degradation, in particular pesticide exposure.
3. Site C: Here's a piece on what happened in late January when the NDP in B.C. green-lit the Site C Dam. There was heavy criticism, from economists, environmentalists, First Nations, farmers, biologists, journalists and futurists.
4. Kinder Morgan's Dangerous Precedent: Last month, the National Energy Board ruled in favour of Kinder Morgan over the City of Burnaby. The company is now free to ramp up construction without municipal permits. Kinder Morgan is now asking for a way to bypass ALL municipal or provincial permits. Stripping municipalities and the province of their permitting jurisdiction is dangerous for our democracy and our safety. Please stand with CAPE!
5. Yet Another Broken Promise: Prime Minister Trudeau not only approved the KM pipeline project. Now, he is breaking his promise to enforce his own government's conditions. And he is fighting to undermine oversight and permitting processes designed to protect local people. Don't let him get away with it!
1. Cancers are on the Rise: Particularly non-smoking-related ones among our young. Most notable are colorectal cancer and malignancies linked to hormone mimicking exposures. Many common substances in plastics, everyday products, and pesticides are the culprits, harming children from conception on. For more details, go here.
2. Unfortunate Substitutions: Here are two recent examples: (1) Phthalates are used in many household items and hence are commonly found in Canadians. When one is banned, the industry just switches in a substitute chemical from its family. (2) The antimicrobial chemical triiclosan is also found in many household cleaners and there's a genuine concern that triiclosan should be banned. It too is seeing substitution when banned. As such, PCN contends that the whole family of phthalates and triiclosan require elimination!

Ansei Treaties
Ansei Treaties
unequal treaties concluded by the USA and other powers with Japan from 1854 to 1858, the Ansei years (the official title for the years of Emperor Komei's reign, 1854–60). The treaties brought to an end more than two centuries of Japanese isolation from the outside world. In 1852 the government of the USA sent M. Perry's squadron to Japan. Under threat of arms, he obtained the signing of the first Japanese-American treaty on Mar. 31, 1854, in Kanagawa, opening the ports of Hakodate and Shimoda to American vessels without, however, the right of trade. On Oct. 14, 1854, Japan signed an analogous treaty with England, and on Feb. 7, 1855, one with Russia. The American consul general T. Harris, who arrived in Japan in 1856, used blackmail and threats to make the Japanese sign a new treaty that was more advantageous for the USA on June 17, 1857; a year later, on July 29, 1858, a one-sided trade agreement was concluded. On the model of the Japanese-American trade treaty of 1858, Japan signed treaties with Russia (Aug. 19, 1858), England (Aug. 26, 1858), and France (Oct. 9, 1858).
The Ansei treaties established free trade with Japan for foreign merchants and drew Japan into the world capitalist market. They gave foreigners extraterritorial rights and consular jurisdiction and deprived Japan of customs autonomy, binding it to low import duties. After the incomplete bourgeois revolution of 1867–68 in Japan, the question of abolishing the unequal treaties was posed sharply. However, the persistent efforts of the Japanese government to accomplish this were not successful until 1894, when England at last entered into a treaty abolishing the unequal articles of the Ansei treaties—with the exception of the limitation on customs autonomy—as of 1899. New treaties along the lines of the Anglo-Japanese agreement of 1894 were concluded between Japan and the other powers. By the trade agreements of 1911, the last limitations on customs autonomy were abolished, although Japan had in effect taken little account of these limitations from the time of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05.

What Are Snickerdoodle Cupcakes?
Though the name snickerdoodle is most often applied to a straightforward-but-scrumptious cinnamon and sugar cookie, the recipe can be tweaked to create snickerdoodle cupcakes with much the same flavor profile. The cookie is made of just all-purpose flour, eggs, sugar, butter, cinnamon and perhaps some nutmeg, nuts or dried fruit. A cupcake version is just a few steps beyond — a blend of cake and all-purpose flour instead as well as some baking powder and a dash of salt. In place of the cookie's simple sugar and cinnamon coating, the cupcakes get a hypersweet frosting composed of ingredients like egg whites, water, corn syrup, sugar and perhaps cream cheese.
Some credit the naming of snickerdoodle to German and English colonial Americans, shortly after the Revolutionary War. That is not to say that this basic recipe has not been used for several millennia though, dating back to Roman times. With other ingredients like raisins, currants or nuts, these cookies were more widely known as "jumbles" until the name snickerdoodle started appearing in cookbooks around the turn of the 20th century. Its basic ingredients were flour, sugar, butter, eggs and cinnamon — often with baking powder or soda as well as complementary ingredients like currants, vanilla extract or even cream of tartar.
Somewhere along the line, enterprising bakers started turning these cookies into snickerdoodle cupcakes. As with most desserts, measurements are important. Though recipes vary widely, a fairly basic example is provided by chef Martha Stewart's Web site, sifting together 1.5 cup each (about 200 g) of all-purpose and cake flour, 1 tbsp. each (about 12 g) of cinnamon and baking powder, and 0.5 tsp. (about 2.5 g) of salt. Then, a mixer is used to blend 1 cup (about 30 g) of soft, unsalted butter, 1.75 cup (about 350 g) of sugar, 2 tsp. (about 10 ml) of vanilla extract and four eggs. After the mixture is airy, the flour is added slowly to the mixer, along with 1.25 cup (about 300 ml) of milk. Each ingredient is slowly incorporated in the batter, which is poured into greased muffin tins when fully blended.
Snickerdoodle cupcakes take about 20 minutes to rise and brown at 350°F (about 177°C). Just before baking, some will add cinnamon sugar to the top of the snickerdoodle cupcakes, as with their cookie cousins. Others will whip up a frosting to apply once the cupcakes have cooled.
The frosting used to coat snickerdoodle cupcakes is up to the cook and his or her expertise. A basic cupcake frosting involves dissolving sugar and some corn syrup in water over medium heat, then whisking in several egg whites until they stick firmly to the bowl. The syrup and whites are then blended vigorously and layered onto the cooled cupcakes.

NYC Tech Shortcomings Prompt Big Payout for Educators
A $41 million-and-counting settlement being paid to educators in New York City public schools could have big implications for school districts across the country struggling to provide adequate technology and Internet bandwidth for their employees.
In April, the New York City department of education began paying back wages to more than 30,000 teachers, school psychologists, social workers, and others after an arbitrator agreed with the United Federation of Teachers that many of its members had been improperly forced to work beyond their contractually mandated workday when implementation of a new student-information system was plagued by slow Internet connections, glitchy software, a lack of computers, and poor training and technical assistance. Initially, the legal decision went largely unnoticed outside of New York City, but experts have recently seized upon its potential significance.
"This is the first time I am aware of a public school system being held accountable, in a legal manner and with real dollars attached, for the quality of its broadband infrastructure, software implementation, and training," said Douglas A. Levin, the executive director of the State Educational Technology Directors Association, or SETDA, based in Glen Burnie, Md. "Schools and districts are now on the hook for following through on their promises with respect to technology."
Increasingly, said Mr. Levin, K-12 educators see digital devices and high-speed Internet connections not as a threat or a frill, but as basic workplace necessities, akin to desks and electricity. Now, he said, that view is buttressed by a legal precedent that could have a ripple effect on everything from collective bargaining agreements to courts' involvement in ensuring equitable school funding.
The problems in New York first arose during the 2009-10 school year, when the 1.1- million-student district began implementing a new software program called SESIS, short for Special Education Student Information System. City education officials said shifting from paper to electronic records was necessary to improve services for the roughly 200,000 students with disabilities and to better meet state and federal reporting requirements. But school-based educators quickly complained that technical problems were forcing them to use the software at home and outside of traditional work hours.
"The school system required things of teachers, but never gave them the tools to do their job," said Randi Weingarten, the president of the 1.5 million-member American Federation of Teachers, which supported the New York City teacher union in pursuing its grievance over the issue.
Software Frustrations
Barbara Mercaldo is one of several New York City educators who testified about the problems with SESIS before the arbitrator. In an interview, Ms. Mercaldo said she has been a school psychologist in the district for 22 years, most of which she spent inside classrooms, making sure that students with disabilities received the tailored instruction to which they are legally entitled.
But since the city department of education implemented the new software, she said, "my job has become that I sit in front of a computer and input information."
Initially, SESIS was rolled out as a way to enter and share each student's Individualized Education Program, or IEP, which district officials said in a statement had previously been stored in "miles of filing cabinets across the city." The software quickly grew into a system for documenting every encounter that each student with disabilities had with any educator in the district.
Johanna Chase, the CEO of special education strategy and operations for the district, said SESIS has "revolutionized the way we do special education in New York City," providing thousands of professionals with "real-time access" to information on students with disabilities.
Similar student-information systems are now used by most school districts, but they often engender frustration among educators: A 2012 survey by the Washington-based Consortium for School Networking, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of teachers found their district's student-information system useful for helping plan classroom activities.
In New York City, the frustrations felt by educators like Ms. Mercaldo were compounded by additional problems.
The first challenge, said Ms. Mercaldo, was finding an available computer in some schools. When she did get on to SESIS, she found the program to be "rigid" and unreliable, regularly failing to process key information and documents.
And when she called the SESIS help desk, Ms. Mercaldo said, "I had to hold on the phone for up to an hour and a half. It was very, very frustrating."
Michael Mulgrew, the president of the 200,000-member United Federation of Teachers, said in an interview that similar complaints about SESIS poured into his office throughout the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years.
Many focused on insufficient school bandwidth: Completing an entry for a single student in the software program took roughly 14 clicks, but slow Internet connections meant each click could take 30 seconds or more to register.
The net result, said Mr. Mulgrew, was that "thousands of educators were going onto the system at home, in the middle of the night because they thought that's what they needed to do to serve children."
Officials from Maximus Inc., the Reston, Va.-based contractor that designed and maintains the SESIS software, did not return requests for comment.
The UFT raised their complaints with district officials, but Mr. Mulgrew said the concerns went largely unheeded. In response, the union filed a grievance in the fall of 2011, arguing that teachers' daily work hours—capped in their contract at 6 hours and 20 minutes, with 37.5 additional minutes on Monday through Thursday—had been unilaterally extended without their consent. The case ultimately went to arbitration.
A 'Rigid' Contract
In its statement, the district acknowledged "well-publicized issues with SESIS in past years" and said officials have "worked diligently to ensure that staff are able to do this work during regular hours with minimal disruption."
In an interview, David Brodsky, the director of the district's office of labor relations, took a firmer stance. "The bottom line," he said, "is that we work within a fairly rigid collective bargaining agreement which very much prescribes what educators can do during the day, and to some extent that hampers our ability with respect to these initiatives."
Calculating Backpay
The district is still contesting a portion of the arbitrator's award. Nancy Waymack, the managing director for district policy at the National Council on Teacher Quality, a Washington-based nonprofit that has often been critical of teacher contracts, said New York teachers' defined workday is "definitely on the low end," as teachers in most other large districts are contractually required to work an average of about 7.5 hours each day.
But Ms. Waymack said that the vast majority of teachers in New York City and elsewhere regularly grade papers, plan lessons, and do other work at home and that testimony and documentation submitted during the arbitration process made clear that "things like inadequate bandwidth and poor technical help slowed [New York City] teachers down from doing their work."
"I think this is a situation where workday provisions were used to fix a really frustrating and annoying problem," Ms. Waymack said.
In January of this year, the arbitrator handed down a resounding victory for the UFT. It ordered the district to use logs generated by SESIS itself to calculate every hour that every educator in the city had spent using the system outside of the contractually mandated workday and to reimburse each at their hourly rate.
To date, 30,152 educators have received checks. One school psychologist, who declined to be identified, was awarded $50,000. Babara Mercaldo received $800.
"I was ecstatic," she said, "because it showed that the work teachers had been taking home was not going unrecognized."
Nationally, school district leaders and many observers in the education community have been slow to pick up on the national implications of the New York City case, said Mr. Levin of SETDA, in part because relatively few people fully grasp the broader technology shifts taking place in K-12 education.
Giving laptops and tablets to students, administering online tests, and conducting extensive data analysis all "presuppose software that works, robust broadband access, and effective training and support," Mr. Levin said.
On each of those fronts, he argued, the UFT's arbitration victory "raises the specter of liability for not following best practices."
The possibility of being held accountable for not providing adequate bandwidth in schools is likely to be particularly troubling for districts, many of which have struggled to upgrade to high-speed connections.
Liability Questions
The question of districts' liability for providing adequate technology could soon be tested again in New York City. The SESIS system is still in use, and Mr. Mulgrew said his members are still reporting many of the same problems that led to the union's earlier complaint.
One lesson from New York, Mr. Levin said, is that teachers and other school-based educators need to be meaningfully involved in the design and implementation of major technology initiatives.
"These decisions can no longer be left to the geeks in the server room," he said.
Ms. Weingarten of the AFT agreed, pointing to McDowell County—a desperately poor section of West Virginia where the AFT, the state's governor, telecommunications companies, and others have partnered to provide broadband access to schools and communities—as an example of effective labor-management collaboration around technology.
"Teachers are crying out for the appropriate use of technology," Ms. Weingarten said, "but it takes two to tango."

Blood Mountain Trail
Scenic hike up Blood Mountain
By far and away the most popular trail on this site, the trail to the top of Blood Mountain is a excellent hike. The two and half mile hike to the top of the beautiful Blood Mountain is great any time of year, but a crisp fall day is especially nice. This is part of the Appalachian Trail that takes you from Neels Gap to the Top of Blood Mountain.
Starting at the Waleisi-Yi Center at Neels Gap, you will head South on the Appalachian Trail. The Trail starts across the street from the Walasi-yi Center. Parking is 1/4 mile North of the Walasi-yi Center, there is a strict 20 minute limit on parking at the Center.
The Walasi-yi Center was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's (completed 1937) and originally used as an inn and restaurant for the few brave souls who ventured this far into the wilderness. Today the center is hiker's paradise, here novice through trail hikers frequently stop and repack. They unload items they now feel are useless weight and spend the extra money to but gear that shave valuable ounces off the total. You need a strong will not to come out with some type of high tech backpacking gear so bring your wallet.
The elevation at Neels Gap is 3,109 feet and the elevation atop Blood Mountain is 4,461 feet, so the ascent up Blood Mountain is quite steep, especially the last mile, gaining most of those 1350 feet.
The first mile is easily walked and after the first mile you will come to the junctions of both the Freeman Trail and the Byron Herbert Reece Trail. The final mile traverses short and steep switchbacks quickly gaining altitude.
The summit of Blood Mountain is the highest point in Georgia of the Appalachian Trail. The famous stone shelter on top of Blood Mountain was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1934. The Blood Mountain Shelter is a two-room stone shelter that is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Picnic rock is also a famous landmark on top of the mountain.

Blood Mountain Trail Report:
I started out at the Mountain Center to see all the gear they have, it's a hikers treasure chest for sure. I ended up getting some water and Clif Bars. I moved my car up to the Trail Head Parking, which is really for the Byron Herbert Reese Trail which intersects the Blood Mountain/AT Trail. I parked and walked the 1/4 miles south to the Mountain Center, crossed the road and headed up Blood Mountain.
There is a Rock Garden about a mile in that has interesting rock formations. I met several other hikers that had started out from Springer Mountain on Thursday (they looked pretty beat).
The last mile is tough with the elevation gain, but the view is spectacular. I thought about continuing on to Slaughter Creek Gap, but ran out of time. All in all it was a great hike, and would do it again. This is not a kid friendly hike, because of the difficulty.

Blood Mountain Trail Report:
A pretty strenuous hike for beginners, however, the views are worth every step. The first mile (from the parking lot to the trail intersection) and the last mile (the final summit on the rocks) were the most strenuous for us. We passed many people older than us (we are in our mid twenties) and many children- all seemed to enjoy the hike. It was a busy Saturday and the parking lot definitely fills up. Overall, I would highly recommend this hike. Just make sure to bring plenty of water, and pack lunch for a great meal at the top. Also be sure to stop by the very well equipped mountain shop/outfitter either before or after your hike.

Blood Mountain Trail Report:
I would rate this as moderately strenuous. The author mentions that the first mile is easily hiked. I feel that he/she possibly used a previous trailhead as the Byron Reece parking lot looked fairly new. I would have to say the opposite – there was a section in the first mile that was a pretty decent climb. My heartrate went up, for sure!
There is a lot of rocks/boulders on this trail which required some navigating and some high stepping. The vistas are beautiful, and the shelter was really cool to look at.
It's a popular trail, so don't go out for solitude.

Friends remember Wilson County's Dr. Eric Raefsky
Hundreds of mourning colleagues, patients and friends are using social media to share memories of a celebrated physician who cared for some of the region's most vulnerable patients.
Dr. Eric Raefsky, 59, the chief medical officer of Tennessee Oncology, died Tuesday night after his car was hit on the driver's side on South Mt. Juliet Road. Authorities have said the at-fault driver might have had alcohol or drugs in his system.
For many of Dr. Raefsky's patients, his loss feels as heavy as a family member's.
"It's a big void," said Jill Reagan, a breast cancer survivor who started seeing the doctor in 1992. "He was special."
Reagan's older sister and mother both saw Dr. Raefsky as well. The family grew to relish their visits, when expert medical advice was book-ended by plenty of chatter about the St. Louis Cardinals.
Dr. Mark Reiber worked alongside Dr. Raefsky at Summit Medical Center for several years. He described Dr. Raefsky as a man who was whip-smart as well as selfless.
"I'm a physician and I work with physicians every day and most of them are fantastic people, but Eric was above and beyond that," Reiber said. "There was nothing that Eric wouldn't do for a patient."
His charitable nature extended well beyond the exam room. People magazine spotlighted him in 2007 after he paid a needy young woman's tuition through high school and college.
Reiber and others are supporting one another through a Facebook group that amassed a following of hundreds in just a few hours Thursday.
On Thursday afternoon, they announced Dr. Raefsky's funeral would be at noon Aug. 16 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
Troopers with the Tennessee Highway Patrol charged the other driver, Clayton Rogers, 20, with felony reckless endangerment. He was also cited for failing to yield to a traffic signal.

We boarded the VRE (Virginia Railway Express) train to Union Station at 7:51 a.m. at Leeland Station, just north of Fredericksburg. We planned to catch this train, not realizing that the VRE was on their "S" schedule (S meaning "Snow" and/or Holiday schedule), and neither did a number of regular commuters waiting there to catch an earlier train into work. A lot of sighs … But we did learn about the green dot meaning a train is headed our way.
After arriving at Union Station in DC, we quickly trotted (it was cold and windy) a number of blocks to the NARA building, arriving there just before 10:00 a.m., their stated opening time – or so we thought.
The doors were open and we learned they actually open at 9:30 giving researchers time to fill out their paperwork for the 10:00 a.m. records pull.
Since we were newbies, we had to watch a PowerPoint presentation on NARA procedures, and then waited in line to get a photo ID card made. We filled out our forms and got them in the designated wooden box for the 11:00 a.m. pull. The NARA website used to have a very informative video on what to expect when arriving at the archives. Difficult to locate on their site before, now impossible, and I suspect it has been taken off and replaced by the PowerPoint.
We found the lockers where we stashed our coats, and in walking back to the main section, one of the archive staff approached me and said my ancestor's records were now on Fold3. We went to one of the computers and she immediately brought up the Widow's Pension record for Amos L. Tucker. I reviewed the pages while hubby went through the (agonizing) process of getting money on his card so that we could print the documents I needed.
The small café in the basement of NARA is delightful. Hubby had a cheeseburger, and I had a delicious ham wrap, and much needed water!
We arrived in research room 203 just moments before hubby's documents arrived at noon. Those files provided us limited success.
The elusive John Pye that hubby has been searching for a friend remains elusive. The poor guy was shot in the face and had half his face torn off. He must have been in terrible shape and much pain. The end of pension paperwork that should be there is presumable "lost," according to NARA personnel. The last paperwork in the file was dated 1873. We did get the name of the attorney who was receiving the pension checks on Mr. Pye's behalf – George C. Carter of Utica, New York. And we found out that Mr. Pye was living in Adams, Jefferson County, NY. These are some clues our friend can follow up on to try for date/place of death.
Hubby needed parents' names for the other two folks he was researching – neither file included those, but for one, a wife and son are named. That was helpful.
The NARA staff were all delightful and ever so helpful, and for that we are so appreciative.
To top off our day, we had the most delicious milkshakes from the Sugar Factory at Union Station while we waited for our 3:25 p.m. train back to Fredericksburg.

Simple PHP Live Counter For your Flash Movie
This tutorial shows you how to create a simple counter that you can use anywhere in your flash movie. The most obvious place is for either the intro or the main part of the Flash Movie that you are working with. You can also use this in other parts of your movie as well. For example, say you needed to keep track of how many users are viewing a certain section of your website, you can add one line of code and one text file - and you'll be able to keep track of that section. This can be advantageous because sometimes it's good to know what users are viewing and what the most popular sections of your website are - if for no other reason then just making sure that you've got that section designed as good as possible. Another reason might be that you need to place a banner ad or other form of advertisement on the most popular section of your website. If you happen to visit message boards where you can use a Flash Footer - you can also add this to that to keep track of how many people are viewing your posts - not that useful though except as a gimic.
Included Files:
- PHPCounter.fla - the Flash source code.
- PHPCounter.php - The php Source Code
- PHPCounter.txt - The text file where you store the current count (Site Visits) - be sure to change the permissions to 777 on this.

LSU No. 1 in USA Today preseason college football poll
LSU and Alabama are the top two teams in the preseason USA Today Coaches' poll released Thursday. (Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
LSU, who was blown out by Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game, was a slight choice for No. 1 in the USA Today Coaches' preseason college football poll released Thursday.
Alabama is No. 2, USC, who didn't play in the postseason is third, followed by last season's preseason No. 1 Oklahoma and Oregon round out the top five.
This the first time since USA TODAY Sports began administering the coaches' poll in 1991 that the No. 1 team in the preseason had fewer first-place votes than the runner-up. The 15-point spread between first and third is also the tightest of any preseason poll in that span.
LSU received 1,403 total points, but Alabama received more first place votes than the Tigers.
The SEC has five teams in the Top 10 and leads all conferences with seven teams ranked in the top 25. The Big 12 has six teams. There is no Big East team in the preseason poll for the second season in a row.
"We are fortunate to be at a place that allows you to compete for that (No. 1) spot," LSU coach Les Miles told USA TODAY Sports in a statement. "We recognize that it (No. 1 ranking) is more of a reflection of a body of work and understand that right now, it's a spot that we hold and not one that has been earned. It's a position that we enjoy. Now we have to go out and play in order to keep it.

The mission of the Rosenberg lab is the use and creation of computational and statistical methods to describe, characterize, organize, interpret, synthesize, and predict patterns from biological data in an evolutionary and ecological framework.
Our research spans a wide range of subjects within evolutionary biology and ecology, from molecular evolution to macroevolution and from single organisms to populations and ecosystems. We use a multi-faceted approach to computational evolutionary biology, but tend to focus on novel statistical and computer methodology (e.g., simulation, spatial statistics, and meta-analysis) to better describe and analyze empirical phenomena. Programming and development of custom software and informatics tools, both large and small, are a major part of our research paradigm. The lab does not focus on a specific group of organisms, but rather studies interesting aspects of evolution whatever the taxa. These have included projects focused on organisms such as humans, great apes, fiddler crabs, desert fish, tropical birds, parasitoid wasps, rattlesnakes, South African Fynbos, and the vectors behind diseases such as HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and leprosy.
Biological Informatics & Genomics
Broadly speaking, biological informatics is an interdisciplinary science combining biology, computer science, mathematics, and statistics to study and process biological data. More narrowly, bioinformatics is defined as the study of how biological systems store, process, and transmit information (in particular, genomic and molecular biological data). Our lab encompasses both the broad and narrow definitions, generally using and developing computational methods and pipelines for analyzing biological data, as well as having specific interests and focus on comparative evolutionary genome analysis.
Fiddler Crab Biology & Evolution
Fiddler crabs (genus Uca) are a group of small, intertidal crabs in which males show a tremendous degree of body asymmetry, having one extremely large claw (containing up to half of their total mass) and a second, much smaller claw. Females have two small claws resembling the small claw of the male. Male fiddler crabs are famous for having complex signalling displays, waving the large claw in order to attract females and delimit territory. Each species has a unique wave which can be used to distinguish amongst species in the field.
In the past, we have studied the phylogenetic history and systematic of the genus, as well as the evolution of the shape and structure of the large claw. Currently we are focused on a cybertaxonomy project which tracks the history of taxonomic names in the genus and attempts to link names used in the literature with the actual species as recognized today. We maintain a website on fiddler crab biology, which includes information on every species, photographs, video, and a comprehensive reference list to all published fiddler crab research.
Phylogenetics is the study of the pattern of the tree of life. It includes both reconstructing the history of evolutionary relationships among living organisms, as well as the use of the history of life to understand the order, tempo, and conditions under which specific traits have evolved.
Our lab conducts phylogenetic work in both empirical and theoretical contexts. We conduct empirical studies to understand the evolutionary history of target groups of organisms or traits of interest. We conduct theoretical studies, generally using simulation approaches, to understand how assumptions and methods may bias or affect our ability to accurately reconstruct our evolutionary past.
Spatial Analysis, Landscape Genetics, & Landscape Ecology
Spatial analysis and statistics are methods designed for analyzing data with respect to their spatial (i.e., geographic) distribution. These methods are important because spatial patterning gives information about underlying processes affecting an observed phenomenon. Furthermore, spatially distributed data violated the assumption of independence common to standard statistical testing. Landscape ecology and landscape genetics are expansions of spatial statistics that attempt to explain ecological and population genetic as functions of the biotic and abiotic spatial landscape. We are interested in the use and development of spatial analysis methods, and have produced software for the statistical analysis of spatially distributed data called PASSaGE.
Meta-analysis is a set of statistical methods for combining the results of independent studies. These methods have widespread use in medical research and the social sciences and have recently become an important tool in the life sciences. Our lab had developed techniques and software for meta-analysis (MetaWin) and has participated in working groups and led training workshops on meta-analysis in biology.

Foxboro, MA: Photo credit shared with Angeline Marcks.
Originally went to the Foxboro Pro League to practice sports photography and catch up with Jeremy Swayman. The University of Maine goaltender took the day off but to my pleasant surprise, Ryan Donato was playing in the late game. Spent the majority of my time shivering at ice level but I would be a terrible person not to thank all the coaches that let me behind the benches with them and the players that chatted me up and let me stumble around them.
This was an excellent experience to practice photography. These are a handful of the best pictures taken out of 100+ and even at that, they show the limitations of the lenses used. For reference, these were taken with a 55-200mm f4-5.6 lens with 800-3200 ISO. While Foxboro is pretty well lit, it shows that a 2.8 lens will be needed sometime in the distant future. For now, I'm quite happy to learn on this lens, and will probably employ some post-production to clean up the lens noise or grain of the image.
For those who aren't totally familiar with Ryan Donato: he will make a serious push for 3C role, or perhaps a top-9 wing if he continues to put on weight. While taking a picture with him in the lobby, I noticed it's evident Bruins brass is pushing him to put on bulk. This Ryan Donato is not the same, wiry collegiate we saw back at season's end.
Ryan Donato's skills were in a class above the competition he faced. Most of his opponents were AHL or NCAA caliber and Donato was carving his way through them with both precision and brute force. He had a respectable 47% of faceoffs (estimated) and torched the opponent's AHL Bakersfield Condors goalie several times. While his game is not perfect, watching his game at ice level, even through a camera lens, it is not hard to imagine Ryan Donato possesses top-6 talent, excellent hockey IQ, and on-ice vision comparable to the most successful NFL quarterbacks.

Here's a great principle of prayer: You can do a great deal for people after you pray for them but little of lasting value until you pray for them.
I don't think I need to argue about the value of praying for your spouse, kids, and friends. But sometimes in our busy culture it's tough to clear your mind and get started. So let's look to a man who knew the value of prayer. The apostle Paul begins many of his letters with a helpful pattern.
If you look at his letter to the Philippians, for instance, you'll see it begins with a blessing of grace and peace. Grace is the reason for our salvation and peace is the result. Paul then gives thanks for the Philippian believers. Cherish the work that God's doing in and through others. Next Paul makes requests to aid the spiritual growth of his friends. He wants them to grow in their love, knowledge, and understanding of Christ. Last, Paul prays that they'd behave in a manner that honors God in light of coming judgment. This isn't a fear tactic but a reminder to live for the ultimate goal of heaven, not the short-term rewards of comfort and pleasure.
God loves it when we come to him in prayer. Will you select one person that God has placed on your heart, and write a prayer for them? For help, look to Paul's letter to the Philippians.

Qatar Solar Technologies (QSTec), a member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, announced on Wednesday its support for Education Above All's (EAA) Kakuma Project under a multi-year agreement that will see schools, clinics and community centres powered by solar energy.
Following a joint visit to Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya in 2012 with Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, QF Chairperson, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), EAA has partnered with UNHCR to develop anew holistic model that will empower refugee communities. QSTec's involvement in the Kakuma Project is fully aligned with QF's mission to be a catalyst for change regionally and internationally by leveraging its experiences, knowledge and capabilities.
As Qatar's leading solar solutions provider,QSTec has joined forces with a number of partners for a collaborative effort that will see the Kakuma Project engage in an innovative programme that changes the way education is provided. At 12sqkm, Kakuma is one of the largest refugee camps in the world, serving more than 170,000 people. Rather than being entrenched in dependency, the project is seeking to empower refugees and enable them to build a new life – both in the camp and in the communities where they will resettle.
EAA is a global initiative founded in 2012 by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, aimed at building a global movement that contributes to human, social and economic development through quality education and other welfare programmes and initiatives. Speaking at the launch of the initiative, Dr Khalid K. Al Hajri, Chairman and CEO of QSTec, said: "There is nothing more important than the power of education and its ability to transform communities and future generations.
"In line with the vision of our founding organisation Qatar Foundation, enabling access to quality education programmes and initiatives that can change lives, is extremely important to QSTec. Qatar Solar Technologies and its partners are facilitating the development of educational environments that will encourage the development of life-long learning skills to have a profound positive impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people."
The project, will offer educational intervention from early childhood education to vocational training and literacy classes that are designed to meet the learning needs of each individual regardless of age, background or special need. The project will also feature peace education programmes, sports and extra-curricular activities to benefit both refugees and Kenyan nationals in the surrounding community, further solidifying peaceful coexistence and enhancing protection in the region.
Leonardo Pinheiro, Director of Strategy, Policy and Research for EAA, said: "The Kakuma Project represents an innovative approach to providing education in a conflict-affected community. "Not a relief effort, the Kakuma Project focuses on improving camp infrastructure and providing educational opportunities to residents of all ages in order to give them the confidence, skills and knowledge necessary for self-reliance. Together with our partners, EAA seeks to give the residents of the Kakuma Refugee Camp the tools they need to create a better future for themselves."
EAA, which is funding the project, will coordinate the efforts of a wide range of industry partners, including experts in construction, project management, solar technology, sports, and water and sanitation, to create a multi-sector ecosystem conducive to the provision and sustainability of quality education. This is a multi-year project that in the future could possibly be used as a model for other such camps around the world.

Pawlenty's health care record could also be a target
Pawlenty's new campaign manager Nick Ayers told POLITICO's Kendra Marr today that health care will be a central theme of the 2012 campaign and that Pawlenty will build his campaign around his record as Minnesota governor.
But Pawlenty's record on health care could also leave him vulnerable to attack -- especially on the issue of taxes, though his Minnesota plan will likely remain an easier sell to conservatives than Mitt Romney's.
As governor, Pawlenty -- who pledged not to raise taxes -- implemented a "health impact fee" on cigarettes, while insisting it wasn't a tax. "I believe this is a user fee. Some people are going to say it's a tax. I'm going to say it's a compromise and a solution to move Minnesota forward," said Pawlenty in 2005. The fee went into a special health care fund to help defray tobacco related health costs. (Pawlenty later wrote that he regretted agreeing to the fee.)
The fee was not part of his broader health care plans -- it was intended to balance the budget. A similar cigarette tax idea was floated by the 2003 bipartisan commission that Pawlenty created to study health care reform ideas, even allowing them to examine the possibility of a single-payer system. "Even a single-payer approach, often derided by his fellow Republicans as socialized medicine, can be on the table, he said. Minnesotans should hold him to that word," the Minneapolis Star Tribune editorialized in 2003. "Pragmatism should be the watchword for the panel's work."
The single-payer idea was rejected, but the commission's work led to Pawlenty and the legislature working together to establish a best-practices guidelines. The state set a number of care standards that led to the same kind of backlash from doctors that would later develop against President Obama's health care reform effort. "I'm against government involvement in this," one doctor told the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal. "It will be a disaster to the patients and a boon to the bureaucrats."
UPDATE: The Pawlenty camp points out that the cigarette fee proposed in 2005 differs from the tax proposed by the 2003 panel and that it was first proposed by state Rep. Ray Cox.

Marinate scallops for about 30 minutes in a mixture of rice wine and fresh ginger then baste them in a sweet soy sauce mixture for an flavorful Asian-style grilled scallop entrée.
How to Make It
Stir together rice wine and grated fresh ginger.
Place scallops in a shallow dish or heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Add wine mixture; cover or seal, and chill 30 minutes, turning once.
Soak 6 (12-inch) wooden skewers in warm water 30 minutes. Drain.
Bring 1/4 cup brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, minced garlic, and, if desired, red pepper to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute; remove from heat, and set aside.
Remove scallops from marinade, discarding marinade. Thread scallops 1/2 inch apart onto skewers.
Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium heat (300° to 350°) 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Brush scallops with brown sugar sauce, and serve immediately with remaining sauce. Serve scallops over hot cooked rice with chopped fresh parsley. Garnish, if desired.

I have the same problem with photos - on top of the fact that my dining room (where I have the most useful space to set up for a photograph) has the worst lighting on the planet. I've been taking pictures on the front porch since spring came - I don't know what I'm going to do when winter comes again!ReplyDelete
Your scarf is lovely. I am in the middle of making a ton of baby gifts & also trying to get some fall knitting done for my own kids. Oh, and that stupid sweater I've been making for my brother since January. xo
I agree...knitting on a deadline is very stressful and completely takes the enjoyment out of it for me. I love the scarf! A very stately color.ReplyDelete


text: Snow Mold can be a problem for many lawns in Colorado especially during winters with a prolonged snow cover. Generally found on northern or eastern exposures of the lawn once the snowpack has melted, it can also be found under areas of leaves which have been left on the lawn throughout the winter. This fungus is most active in temperatures just above freezing and will leave matted straw colored areas with a thin fibrous mold on top. While some area companies promote a preventative fungicide application in the fall, this rarely suppresses snow mold and in most instances snow mold should not be treated with fungicide as it generally does not kill Kentucky bluegrass. The best treatments for Snow Mold are to apply a fall fertilizer before the snow falls and to lightly rake areas of affected turf once the snow has melted. This will allow air to circulate and the mold will go away once the lawn has dried out.

The next best thing to a spacesuit.
I collected every single item (around 200) that was brought aboard NASA's historic Apollo 11 moon landing for a poster. Now all 69 illustrated NASA gadgets and materials are available on a t-shirt!
Each item is from the official manifests and records of NASA (from 1969). The poster had a lot of text to list the other hundreds of items, but I've streamlined the design to actually fit on a t-shirt. Printed in metallic silver ink on a 'Midnight Navy' Next Level Tee.
These t-shirts are super comfy (I've worn plenty myself) and we're able to offer sizes Small through XX-Large!
