"We're going to wait for about two months and look at the offers," says Kozelek. "We're not disregarding money, but we want to see who has the best plan. It's easy for some people to come up with the money, but we want to see what the best deal is in terms of releasing the album, tour support. We'll know by May or June. We could even put it out ourselves, if we wanted."
The Red House Painters have been on hiatus for well over a year, but Kozelek says this year the band will start touring the European festival circuit, though except for a gig at Western Washington University next month, Kozelek says he's done with solo shows in San Francisco or elsewhere. "I kind of feel like people are sick of me doing solo shows, and I'm sick of it myself," he says. "It's time for Red House Painters to get out there and play."
Kozelek spent time in Los Angeles last fall acting in Cameron Crowe's latest movie, tentatively titled Stillwater, in which he played the role of a bassist in a fictional '70s rock band of the same name. The film finished shooting in October; to the best of Kozelek's knowledge, it will be released in the fall. During Kozelek's L.A. stint, the Red House Painters' old label, 4AD, put out a two-CD best-of of the band's work, Retrospective, and reissued the band's back catalog as well. The group has always been popular overseas and within San Francisco city limits, but its caustic, slow-moving folk rock never garnered more than a cult audience in the U.S. That did change slightly with the reissues, though. "I've gotten some royalties," says Kozelek, with a hint of surprise in his voice. "What's interesting, as far as 4AD goes, is that our records have always done better in Europe than here. With these reissues and the Retrospective record, they sold better here than in Europe."
Kozelek also has a pair of projects planned for the upcoming months. On June 13, local label Badman Recording Company will release Rock n' Roll Singer, a Mark Kozelek solo EP whose seven songs feature the previously released "Find Me, Ruben Olivares" and three AC/DC covers: "Rock n' Roll Singer," "You Ain't Got a Hold on Me," and "Bad Boy Boogie," which -- in typical Kozelek style -- are irreverent toward the songs' tempos and melodies but make the lyrics sound like genuine poetry. On April 18, Badman will also release the long-awaited John Denver tribute album Kozelek spearheaded, Take Me Home, which he'd been trying to put together since almost immediately after Denver's death in a plane crash in October 1997. Kozelek knew that Denver would be a tough sell as a musician worth paying tribute to, and he notes that a few of the artists he asked -- including Pearl Jam, R.E.M., and Dead Can Dance's Brendan Perry -- declined to participate for precisely that reason.
But if Take Me Home doesn't present Denver as any sort of folk-pop genius, it at least shows there's room for interpretation: The album includes loving and non-soppy reworkings of the Denver oeuvre from Bonnie Prince Billy (aka Will Oldham), Rachel Haden, and Low, as well as locals Tarnation, Granfaloon Bus, Hannah Marcus, and RHP themselves, plus a Kozelek duet with Mojave 3 singer Rachel Goswell. "[Denver is] somebody I listened to all my life, just as I listened to James Taylor and Cat Stevens," says Kozelek. "Not that I like John Denver any more than James Taylor or Cat Stevens or even Neil Young, but he didn't get respected the same way. ... He had a lot of great songs that were overshadowed by some of the silly decisions he made, like going on The Muppet Show and songs like 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy.' I kind of wanted to make people aware that there was more to him than that."
More information about the albums is available at www.badmanrecordingco.com.
Blues Note When Roko Belic talks about the Oscar nomination for the documentary he and his brother Adrian made, Genghis Blues, he says he's happy just to have been nominated, of course -- but he actually sounds like he means it. "It's surreal," he says. "When we started making this movie, I thought that maybe we'd be able to show it in a theater somewhere, or get it at the Castro on a Sunday afternoon."
But Genghis Blues became much bigger than that. The film, which showcases the life story of local bluesman and Tuvan throat singer Paul Pena -- who most famously wrote "Jet Airliner" for the Steve Miller Band -- spent two weeks at the Castro, got a national release, rave reviews, and finally scored that Oscar nomination; now, if the Belics are very lucky, it'll beat out Buena Vista Social Club for Best Documentary. More immediately, Roko is worried about who gets to fill the four seats he's been allotted for the awards show in L.A. on March 26; right now he, Adrian, their mother, and Pena will be going, though he's trying to find a way to get the film's "co-star," Kongor-Ol Ondar, to come down as well. Pena was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer shortly before the film screened at last spring's San Francisco Film Festival, and Roko says he's doing fairly well these days; donations to the Paul Pena Fund are helping him meet his heavy medical expenses, which, however, do continue to accrue.
There has been talk of plans to reissue Paul Pena's records -- a well-received 1973 album that's been out of print for decades, and a follow-up album including the original "Jet Airliner" that's never been released. "We're still working on it," says Roko. "We're getting closer with a couple of possibilities. What's been great about all the e-mails and calls we've been getting in support of Paul and the movie is an interest in his music." There are also plans for a new edition of the Genghis Blues soundtrack with more songs featured in the movie. Updates and information about donating to the Paul Pena Fund is available at www.genghisblues.com.
Oops David Cook's story about saxophonist Sonny Simmons ("Re-Illuminated," Music, March 1) erroneously stated that Simmons' daughter Raisha recently passed away. One of Simmons' daughters did die recently, but not Raisha, who is alive and well and living in Washington. We apologize for the error.

We accept volunteers in Seattle and Malawi. We adhere to our core value of empowerment throughout all of our programs, including EKARI's Volunteer Program. We work to develop empowering relationships through volunteerism that increase our impact as well as increase awareness about Malawi and global poverty. We believe that volunteering, if accomplished with due diligence, can be a powerful force for social change; both for volunteers, EKARI staff, and for the communities that we serve.
Honor and learn from the community
Although EKARI encourages volunteers to bring their unique skill sets to their volunteer experience, prior to serving in Malawi volunteers work alongside and learn from experienced community members in Phalombe, Malawi.
Increase impact
Through the actions of our volunteers during their volunteer service and through subsequent contributions – financial or otherwise – EKARI's goal is to increase our impact in the communities that we serve.
Expand awareness
We ask that each volunteer make a commitment to share his/her story with his/her greater community through face-to-face conversations and/or through social media to encourage others to action.
Connect hard working and enthusiastic volunteers
We greatly appreciate the time and resources that volunteers devote to EKARI and want to make their volunteer experience as worthwhile and meaningful as possible for both the volunteer and EKARI. Volunteers are accepted based on how well their passions, skills, and interests match with EKARI needs.

We Spotted Kenmore's New Camo Freezer
With a Mossy Oak exterior, this freezer hides in plain sight
Recommendations are independently chosen by Reviewed's editors. Purchases you make through our links may earn us a commission.
Kenmore's newest freezers are aimed straight at hunters, with unique exteriors that feature camouflage patterns.
The new, outdoorsy look is available on an 18 cu. ft. chest freezer (model number 12810) and a 20 cu. ft. frost-free upright freezer (model number 22040).
According to Kenmore, the design came about after numerous customer requests. Instead of taking a shot in the dark at a generic camo look, Kenmore chose Mossy Oak's well-known Break-Up Infinity pattern for added authenticity.
The new freezers will be on sale later this year. Both have an MSRP of $899.

A former Ph.D. student of the Computer Engineering and Systems group is making some news across the country. Dr. Shiyan Hu, who now serves on faculty at Michigan Technological University in its Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, received the prestigious NSF CAREER Award.
This highly competitive award, which is titled, "CAREER: Integrated Research and Education in Physical Design Automation for Nanotechnology and VLSI Technology Co-Design," is given to someone who, "exemplifies the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations."
Under the advising of Texas A&M's own Dr. Jiang Hu, Dr. Shiyan Hu received his Ph.D. at Texas A&M University in 2008 in Computer Engineering. Dr. Shiyan Hu focuses his research in the field of Computer-Aided Design VLSI Circuits and Embedded Systems.
VLSI circuits can be found in smart phones, home appliances, personal computer, and virtually any other modern technology. These devices make extensive use of nanotechnology, which involves bundling thousands of tiny copper wires to wire transistors. This collection of wires will often not have a greater diameter than the size of a single hair.
Unfortunately, the small cross-sectional area of these wires creates a large resistance, which makes the interconnect delay the limiting factor for the timing of the whole chip. Dr. Shiyan Hu has devoted his research to making these chips perform increasingly faster through decreasing the interconnect delay. He has sought out the use of materials such as carbon nanotubes and grapheme nano-ribbons that will make this more of a reality in the coming years.
The CAREER award will fund a five-year project headed by Dr. Shiyan Hu to develop ground breaking physical layout co-design methodology for next-generation integrated circuits. His research will facilitate design closure for circuits whose timing cannot be closed with traditional physical synthesis. This has exceeding potential to utilize leading nanotechnologies into practical circuit design, and it would revolutionize the prevailing circuit design paradigm.
Dr. Shiyan Hu has accumulated numerous accolades throughout his career including serving as Guest Editors for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems, and VLSI Design Journal. He also serves as the Technical Program Committee subcommittee chairs or co-chairs for IEEE/ACM Design Automation Conference 2014, IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design 2011, IEEE International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design 2011, and for many other committees.
It comes as little surprise that a fellow Aggie is carrying on a tradition of excellence in his work. Not only has Dr. Shiyan Hu collected the achievement of being an Assistant Professor at Michigan Tech, he is the only recipient in his department in 6 years. Texas A&M's Computer Engineering Systems Group salutes Dr. Shiyan Hu for his outstanding work.

Higher education is of critical importance to the UK economy and an essential part of the country's social and cultural fabric. It affects employment, economic performance and competitiveness, and plays a pivotal role in raising social mobility.
Internationally we perform well and have the most productive research base in the G8. Our higher education system remains second in the global league tables, including Times Higher Education's World University Rankings. It is a beacon of excellence attracting more than £8.2 billion in foreign investment alone. As part of my department's broader work on industrial strategy, David Willetts is developing a blueprint for the long term that further recognises the significance of higher education, which we will publish next year.
It is because the coalition recognises the importance of the sector that our reforms needed to create a sustainable financing model and provide a steady supply of graduates for a growing economy. The reforms may have been controversial and politically bruising - my party in particular took a reputational hit - but the system that has emerged as a result is more progressive, more transparent and more sustainable than ever. Going to university must depend on ability, not the ability to pay. Students will not pay upfront to study; there are more loans and bursaries in place for those from poorer families; and loans will be repaid only once graduates have jobs and are earning more than £21,000 a year. This means that more will never have to pay at all and those obliged to do so will face lower monthly repayments.
The doomsayers prophesied that applications to higher education would plummet. In reality, although there was a drop in applications for 2012-13, it was nowhere near the levels predicted. Applications and acceptances from disadvantaged groups have held up well, as have acceptances to science, technology, engineering and maths courses. A recent report from the Higher Education Policy Institute found no evidence of higher fees having a deleterious effect on application rates from 18-year-olds: in fact, this year's were the second-best on record. And we have reasons to be cheerful about the early data for 2013-14.
Sadly, some wilfully distort the facts about higher education funding to try to score cheap political points. Most young people, however, understand that no eligible student has to pay upfront fees. And we are continuing to work hard to dispel any residual myths. Our Student Finance Tour visited 2,150 schools, colleges and sixth forms in England last year. This year we have broadened its scope, with recent graduates talking to younger pupils and their parents. My colleague Simon Hughes has done a lot of work in this area, for which I am grateful.
The cost of higher education is undoubtedly influencing prospective students to think in a more hard-headed way about the courses they choose. We are putting improved information centre stage to help them with that choice. I recently launched the Key Information Set at Strode College in Somerset - 17 key pieces of data such as employability rates post-graduation, the average salaries of recent graduates, and evaluations of course quality by existing students. A girl studying A levels at Strode told me she had compared courses in Japanese studies and was shocked to find her first choice was poorly rated while a choice lower on her list had scored well. These data will put students at the heart of the system and will ensure that universities deliver - and are held to account for what they deliver.
Funding flowing from student choice improves the incentive structure and balance of contributions within higher education. Despite reports of a financial "black hole", we expect contributions from graduates to rise from around 40 per cent of costs to around 60 per cent. While some claim we have underestimated the public cost of the loans, others argue we are overstating it by using a long-term assumption about government borrowing costs rather than the current low rate. Such long-term estimates depend on a wide range of variables, including the earnings trajectory of graduates. Such estimates have a margin of error, but the Office for Budget Responsibility has checked our estimates. We shall monitor the overall affordability of the system as it beds down and, if necessary, take action to ensure it remains sustainable in the long term. But the Higher Education Funding Council for England offers a positive prognosis for the sector's financial health and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development has said that our changes offer an exemplary model of how to reform higher education.
I know there are challenges ahead, including funding our postgraduate sector and ensuring that the UK remains an attractive destination for international students. And improved efficiency must remain a top priority so that graduate contributions are not based on a "cost plus" model.
Another challenge is increased business collaboration, as recommended by Sir Tim Wilson in his report published in February. I want to see business taking a bigger role in sponsoring students, with a revival of "sandwich" schemes. The World Economic Forum now ranks the UK second in the world (and ahead of the US) for university-industry collaboration in research and development. The level of demand for the Research Partnership Investment Fund has been impressive, and the £300 million on offer will leverage more than twice that amount in private co-investment from major businesses and charities looking to collaborate with universities.
The real story about our reforms is not that some thinktanks differ from others about the long-term forecast for the sector: the real story is that we are reshaping the academy to make it more affordable for the taxpayer, more accessible to students from all socio-economic backgrounds and more competitive in an increasingly global market.

I recently bought a green single-unit hay steamer for my mini shetland pony with RAO (Recurrent Airway Obstruction). And I'm so very happy I did! I noticed his breathing improved since his hay is steamed and that after only 2 days. The hay steamer is very easy to use, I put the hay loose in the chamber and it's easy to fill it or to clean it. The ponies really enjoy eating the steamed hay, they are so impatiently waiting every feeding moment 🙂 I live in the Netherlands and the shipment was very quick! The service and quality of Breatheasy is superb! In Dutch: Ik heb onlangs de groene Single-Unit hooistomer gekocht voor mijn mini shetlander met RAO (Recurrent Airway Obstruction). En ben er super blij mee! Ik merkte na 2 dagen al flinke verbetering met zijn ademhaling. De hooistomer is erg makkelijk in gebruik, ik doe het hooi er los in en het is makkelijk te vullen of schoon te maken. De pony's hier zijn gek op hun gestoomde hooi, ze staan vol ongeduld te wachten elke keer 🙂 Ik woon in Nederland en de levering was erg snel! De service en kwaliteit van Breatheasy zijn geweldig!

'Policegiri' item girl hails Ganesh AcharyaJun 21, 2013 IANS
Mumbai, June 21 (IANS) Actress Kavitta Verma admits she has been fortunate to groove to the "Hai ishq Krishna ki leela", an item number from forthcoming film "Policegiri", under ace choreographer Ganesh Acharya's guidance.
Mincing no words in praising Acharya, she said: "I feel fortunate that I did my first song with Ganesh Acharya, who choreographed the song. He pulls out the talent within you."
A trained Kathak dancer, Kavitta said she learnt how to belly dance for the number.
"He blended both these dance forms and has presented it very beautifully," she added.
Recently, Kavitta was caught up in a controversy regarding her scant dressing and for sporting a rosary on her body and the Holy Cross on her belly in the item song. But she apologised for it.
Directed by K.S. Ravikumar and produced by T.P. Aggarwal and his son Rahul Aggarwal, "Policegiri", starring Sanjay Dutt and Prachi Desai, releases July 5.

In 2015, he and his wife went undercover to experience homelessness in DC for four days and three nights, where they identified a gap that is the inability to effectively and efficiently connect people at-risk of and experiencing homelessness to the services they need to prevent or end their homelessness. Tim is proud to serve alongside such a committed team of volunteer professionals that aim to do so using Hope One Source - through secure real-time geolocated text messaging.
Architect Lead

Anthony's wife first volunteered with Hope One Source and got him hooked. Everyday he sees firsthand how serious of an issue homelessness is in DC, walking past many people experiencing homelessness on his way to work.

So you are watching TV one night and you notice a spider walking up your wall, then the next day you find another one in the bathroom. You go downstairs to do laundry and there are a few more.
How to get rid of spiders in the basement? Well to begin with, you are going to have to find their way in. Yes, some house spiders just get in, but if you have fairly big spiders or a lot of them, then chances are you may have some little openings around the foundation where they are getting in.

First Step - Find Their Entrance!
In The Basement?
Spiders love dark spaces, and most people tend to have darker spaces in their basements, plus they love dusty areas, such as old curtains on the windows, cluttered areas, and damp areas. So, to ward them off you can start by cleaning out your basement. This is a good job for the kids to help with.
Get lots of Light
If you are really terrified of them, you will need help with this. Start by getting as much light as you can into the downstairs. Get some of those lights on stands and really shine them into the corners, totally light up the area. They hate bright light and may scamper. But you will find their webs. If you see an area with a lot of webs, then have someone go around the outside of the house with a flashlight, especially between where the siding meets the foundation wall, and if you see any light from the flashlight, even a tiny stream, then take your caulking gun and fill in these cracks. This is the same procedure you would use for getting rid of mice.

(price as of Sep 15, 2018)
Seal It Up
So, hopefully you have sealed up any of their entrances, and now you have to deal with the ones in your house. To get ward them off, you will now need to empty your basement. You know you have been meaning to do this for a while anyways, now is the perfect excuse. Pull everything out, and get rid of cardboard boxes. They can get mildew and spiders love to hang out in them. Empty the cardboard boxes outside.
Get Rid Of Cardboard
Use this time to de-clutter, and invest in some plastic tubs for storage rather than cardboard boxes. To get them to leave, you really need to give it a good clean as well. Sweep out every corner, and every web. If you come across a spider (and it is not a dangerous spider, I am mostly talking about typical house spiders here) then put a cup over it, and slide a magazine under it and get it outside.
Bleach any mildew areas, and see if there is any way to deal with a damp problem in your basement. As spiders love damp. Even a dehumidifier will help in the basement to dry it out.
After you have cleaned out the basement, and bleached any damp and mildew areas, and sealed up any cracks in your walls. You could then spray with a spider or bug spray in all the corners, or you can call in an exterminator. But by cleaning, his treatment will be more effective.
To do this you need to allow a day, it does require a day of cleaning. But you will win the war.

(price as of Sep 15, 2018)
Check Your Pets
If you are only getting the odd spider, and your house seems to be clear of them, then they are most likely coming in on shoes or especially dogs. You will be amazed how many bugs and spiders will come in on your cat or dog. Dogs, especially as they like to roll in the grass and will pick up bugs and spiders. Or they will go out first thing in the morning and run through webs that are between shrubs and pick up hitchhikers!
So, to ban them, find their entrances, and block them up, (this is also good to keep mice out and help stop cold air coming in)
Give the house a good clean out, and get rid of cardboard, mildew and dusty areas, such as dusty old curtains windows.
Spray if you have to. ( doesn't always require spraying, do the above tips first and see if any more spiders appear) You have to be careful with spraying especially if you have small children. Unless you have a really bad infestation in the walls or areas you can't get at, try the cleaning out first and then decide. If you spray or get an exterminator you may need to leave your house for a couple of days.
Pack any storage items in plastic tubs
Dehumidify the basement to keep it dry
Maybe this is the time to address a wet or damp basement. Although this may be a expensive venture, it will be one other way to get rid of spiders for good.

Are There Effective Ways to
Treat Cancer Pain with
Alternative Medicine?
"There are good ways to treat almost everyone with pain using both regular and alternative medicines, and we like to think they are complementary to one another, and work best when used together… there are lots of good alternative medicines and therapies to work right in. Massage therapy, acupressure, acupuncture, relaxation, imagery, all have been shown to help people adapt to their illness"

M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Center Validates Homeopathy in the Treatment of Breast Cancer!
"We felt that homeopathy needed to be tested in the same way that we test new chemotherapeutic drugs. We were quite impressed to find that homeopathic remedies have similar effects to chemotherapy on breast cancer cells but without affecting normal cells, a very exciting finding"
-Moshe Frenkel, M.D.
MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas"
We want every single patient we have under care to have their spine examined by an Atlas Orthogonist"
"I am saddened by the thousands, and probably millions, of patients that have problems that could be helped by Atlas Orthogonal, but don't know that it exists. If the alignment is wrong, the nerve system is not going to work well no matter how good their nutrition is, they are not going to be able to assimilate that nutrition sufficiently. The majority of cancer cases we see have overt cervical spinal problems, even the ones who don't have a history of spinal trauma."

Immunologist, Cancer Specialist

Regarding her survival from breast cancer, Suzanne Somers carefully considered her treatment options, and selected a course of treatment that involve both both conventional and alternative approaches, which included homeopathy
Ear Acupuncture
"In the beginning, many people were skeptical, but after seeing it demonstrated on patients and the benefits achieved -- especially in the area of pain --
the majority of physicians embraced
it and learned how to use it in their
practices as an adunctive therapy.

"Acupuncture will not cure cancer, but it may improve immune function... It helps patients with those treatment-related side effects so they can continue to receive their cancer treatment. Maybe some side effects can be treated by western medicines, but a lot of times patients are already on so many medicines that they don't want to take more drugs, plus the drugs can be more expensive."

Drugless Support for Cancer-Related Pain & Other Symptoms
By Dr. Donald Liebell
We are all grateful that advancements in cancer treatment have improved survival rates. The treatments themselves however, can be debilitating, resulting in various side effects. Fortunately there are many drugless treatments that can help reduce the suffering of cancer patients. Many of the top cancer facilities throughout the world include them as part of treatment. In this article, I will discuss my favorites.
Look to the Spine
Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine (460-370 BC), described treatment
of spinal misalignment in his monumental work known as the Corpus
Hippocrateum: "Look well to the spine, for this is the requisite for many
diseases." Socrates (469-399 BC) advised, "If you would seek health, look
first to the spine."
Many cancer patients have found relief through chiropractic spinal
treatment. However, not too many cancer specialist appear to be aware
of the benefits their patients may receive from this magnificent healing
science and art. Noted New York based immunologist and cancer specialist,
Nicholas Gonzales, M.D. has been an exception. He has been long aware of
the effectiveness of a particular chiropractic approach called Atlas Orthogonal.
The rationale for spinal treatment is that improved function of ones
nervous system is critical to fighting the battle against cancer... no matter
what other treatment approaches (chemotherapy, radiation, nutritional,
homeopathic, herbal, etc.) are being utilized. Precision spinal correction,
particularly at the upper neck can be a wonderful complementary approach
to cancer treatment, to help boost nerve and immune system function.
Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez has investigated and utilized nutritional approaches
to cancer and other degenerative diseases since 1981. The doctor has appeared
on many television and radio programs, as well as being featured in the wonderful
patient advocated books written by Suzanne Somers. I have been privileged to
meet Dr. Gonzalez, as he has spoken many times at conferences on Atlas Orthogonal
that I have attended.
A great deal of information regarding Atlas Orthogonal is available throughout this website, since it is one of the cornerstones of my practice. This procedure has been featured on the popular television program, "The Doctors" as well as the "Montel Williams Show."
The Atlas Orthogonal procedure has been studied and published in both medical and chiropractic journals. I am very proud to one of the few board certified doctors in the world to provide this remarkable health service. I appreciate the efforts Dr. Nicholas Gonzales has made to advocate this procedure to cancer patients.
This is the true spirit of integrative health care.
A cooperative or complementary approach is important for all health care, but never more important than when it comes to cancer patients. Every "helping hand" is appreciated and necessary.
Acupuncture and Cancer Pain Management
Acupuncture has been documented in medical journals to be helpful to cancer patients in many ways. For example, one study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, revealed that acupuncture was actually more effective than a drug used for side effects of post-breast cancer hormone therapy.
Another good example is a study published in the December 6, 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. High-dose chemotherapy patients, who suffered nausea, were found to get better results from a combination of anti-nausea medication and electro-acupuncture—rather than medication alone.
Ear Acupuncture for Relief
For over 30 years, a specialized system of ear acupuncture (Auricular Therapy) has been utilized as a complementary treatment for pain from cancer, when conventional medication has been ineffective.
In November, 2003, the Journal of Clinical Oncology published a study that revealed clear evidence that cancer patients benefited from this specialized form of acupuncture. My website, EarSecret.com is dedicated to these acupuncture principles.
The Astonishing Treatment for Dry Mouth and Eyes
One of the most remarkable examples of the use of ear acupuncture is the case of chronic dry mouth or eyes. It has been a thrill to see ear (and hand) acupuncture immediately restore saliva and tears to long suffering patients, who lost salivary gland and/or tear duct function after chemotherapy or radiation treatments. An entire article on this website is devoted to this astonishing acupuncture protocol
Homeopathic Medicine for Cancer Patients
Homeopathy is not by any means a stand-alone treatment for cancer. One must understand that homeopathy is not a disease-oriented approach altogether. Rather it is a patient-oriented approach intended to naturally help strengthen the patient's defenses.
One of the most respected cancer research institutions in the world published a groundbreaking study that demonstrated proof that homeopathic medicine could be effective for people with cancer. The remedies used in the study have been around for over 100 years!
This study demonstrated that specific homeopathic remedies can kill cancer cells without affecting the normal cells! The study, "Cytotoxic effects of ultra-diluted remedies on breast cancer cells" was published in the February 2010 issue of the International Journal of Oncology.
Homeopathy can work magnificently as a supplement to conventional cancer treatment. Its goal is detoxification and strengthening of the immune system. It is a very powerful tool for cancer patients, and it has been used throughout the world for over 200 years.
Actress, author and patient advocate, Suzanne Somers has documented her personal success with homeopathy, as part of her successful fight against cancer.
I can't stress enough that I am not a cancer specialist. I don't treat cancer. However, I certainly treat PEOPLE who have (or have had) many types of cancer. It is my privilege and joy to help sufferers and survivors of cancer to manage pain and other symptoms, and improve quality of life.
I utilize several procedures that are classified as complementary and alternative medicine. Normally, I'm not too fond of that terminology. In my opinion, it gives a negative impression of safe and effective practices and procedures that have been practiced for ages—far longer than many practices of conventional Western medicine.
However in the case of treatment of cancer patients, it is my very assertion that my role is indeed complementary (but NOT alternative) to chemotherapy, radiation, and any other treatment prescribed by one's oncologist, internist or other physician.
More people are discovering that various acupuncture procedures can provide blessed relief and improved function to many cancer patients. Please keep in mind that I cannot and will not provide any diagnostic or treatment opinions regarding any type of cancer. My role is not in the direct treatment of cancer, but rather improving quality of life and promoting health for those afflicted with it.

The airspace above Walt Disney World has been free of aircraft since March, when the government said the resort was a terrorism target of symbolic value. But a Christian organization that wants to send banner-towing planes over the theme park during this week's Gay Days festivities believes the no-fly zone equals no free speech. The Virginia-based Family Policy Network seeks to preach during Gay Days "the truth that Christ can set them free from the sin of homosexuality," according to the organization's Web site. The 13th annual Gay Days, which starts Thursday and lasts four days, is expected to draw more than 100,000 gay and lesbian tourists. While Disney doesn't sponsor Gay Days, which includes several events planned around the weekend under no single organizer, the Magic Kingdom theme park is the center of the activities.
Part of FPN's outreach program, said president Joe Glover, would include planes pulling banners reading, "JESUS CHRIST: HOPE FOR HOMOSEXUALS.COM." The same banner was flown in 2001 without incident, FPN said. But Federal Aviation Administration restrictions now prohibit aircraft from flying within 3,000 feet of ground level or within three nautical miles of the resort, located about 25 miles southwest of Orlando, Fla. No-fly zones also cover Disney parks in Anaheim, Calif.
A lawsuit by FPN and an aerial advertising company, AirSign, seeking a temporary rollback of the flight restrictions is expected to be filed in U.S. district court in Orlando this week, with the American Family Association Center for Law and Policy handling the legal work. Stephen M. Crampton, chief counsel for the AFA, said Disney has long desired no-fly zones around its properties to prevent competitors from advertising. But fears of terrorism gave the entertainment giant the cover it needed, he said. "We're not advertising; we're trying to reach a specific target audience with a very specific, noncommercial message," Crampton said from his office in Tupelo, Miss. "But Disney and Disney alone has managed to achieve a total ban, effectively, on such speech."
Disney spokeswoman Rena Callahan said the "safety and enjoyment" of its guests are the only reasons the company wants the no-fly zones and that it wants them kept in place. "We pursued the FAA restrictions for the safety and enjoyment of our guests and believe this extra layer of protection is in the best interests of those who work and visit the Walt Disney World Resort," Callahan said. The no-fly regulations were part of an appropriations package approved by Congress in March, FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said, and any attempt to repeal them would have to be addressed through legislation. She refused further comment. A spokesman for the Department of Justice, which would defend the regulations, did not return a call seeking comment on Tuesday.
Nan Schultz, vice president of Orlando Gay Days 2003, refused to discuss FPN's plane plans. "We like to comment on the positive issues of Gay Days: the economic impact to the area, the 125,000 people coming here to have a good time," Schultz said.
I think the no-fly zone should be enforced... not only for safety, but because I really don't like these people. . Free speech, you may ask? Perhaps, but to have your vacation ruined by bigotry? C'mon...

Ford's Rant: There Will Be No Jobs
I know it is aggravating to have to respond all the time to adults' questions about what college you are going to, but you try to be polite and appear concerned about making the right choice and the important criteria and look worried and – blah, blah, blah.
But when the questions get around to what job field or career you are going to pursue, there is only one proper response you can make:
Take off. Leave the premises. Well, smile anyway, look pleasant, but get the hell out of the room as fast as you can. And why?
Because – THERE WILL BE NO JOBS !
I know you don't really want to believe that and are shocked at that statement and your parents don't believe that, but IT IS TRUE. And the sooner you make that statement an integral part of your looking forward, the better off you will be.
There are many reasons why THERE WILL BE NO JOBS. The middle class has disappeared. The computers have taken all jobs that are routine and easy. Globalization has us competing with low wages all over the world. American corporations don't want to hire Americans anymore, much less guarantee them a lifetime career. Change is happening so fast that today's job will be obsolete soon anyway; and tomorrow's job hasn't been invented yet.
Take my job – The Atrium Guy. Eight years ago it didn't exist. I was hired when the HHS renovation was completed because the building's many doors were consolidated into only one secure entrance – as a result of the school shootings in Columbine, Colorado. And the school authorities thought it was better to have a human at that front door than either a cop or a metal detector. So they hired me and figured that I would do that JOB.
The only problem was – THERE WAS NO JOB. It was a wide open assignment without any specific tasks or responsibilities. They had put tables in the Atrium area, but had no idea what was going to happen when the students came in.
So I had to make up THE JOB THAT WAS NOT. And I am still doing it, thankfully with your help every day.
Which is my point. You will have to come up with YOUR JOB. You will have to find a need, find a market, find a skill, find an opportunity, find the source of pay and find the way to support yourself – and maybe even a family. I know it sounds a lot harder than just showing up the for A JOB like your parents did after they had some alleged preparation (read 'college') or 'training.' But that is your FEWTURE (remember?)
And the way you should go about doing that searching? Here's the big advice you have been waiting for.
Identify – develop – nurture – qualify – focus on – connect with – read about – travel to –
That's right. Get in touch with that which turns you on, excites you, make you get up early, lose sleep at night, aggravate your friends, confuse your parents – you know,
And then figure out a way to make money doing it. This can be by doing it for someone, by writing about it, by recruiting for it, by investing in it, by advertising it or by talking about it on some website. And it'll be easy, because it's all you are really interested in doing anyway. You just have to come up with the money part. But you can go to school for that – right?
So there you go. You are on your way to happiness – and a living. The wealth and success will come naturally after you work on the happiness – a lot. The biggest barrier to finding YOUR PASSION and YOUR HAPPINESS and YOUR JOB is being cool, or hip, or uninvolved, or detached or scared or standing back or outside the world you are in. Get in there and go after what's inside you yearning to get out.
But remember – THERE WILL BE NO JOBS – as your parents knew them. Heck, they didn't work out so well for a lot of them anyway. Maybe it's good riddance.

From Fat to Fit: Q & A with Gabriella Martinez
We recently had a conversation about our PetsMove initiative with Gabriella Martinez, the Editor in Chief of Pupculturemagazine.com. Based in Rochester NY, Pupculture Magazine publishes 6 interactive issues each year on a wide range of topics related to dogs.
It turns out that the interview is a perfect fit for our FitDog Friday series, since, as you will read, Gabriella and her dog are fine examples of how to successfully start and stick with a weight loss and fitness program.
SlimDoggy (SD): We first met at the BlogPaws conference this past May, where you introduced me to your Labrador Retriever, Andrea. Little did I know that the person and dog that I met were actually miniature versions!
Gabriella (GM): Yes! One of the reasons I am so excited about PetsMove (and Slimdoggy.com) is because both Andrea and I have been on a weight loss journey. I can tell you first hand that it isn't easy and that it takes some time to 'figure it out'. I think that it is great that you are creating a support system for all us dog lovers out there that need a bit of direction when it comes to healthy living. I know that I'm still learning as I go!
SD: Tell me about you and your dog's weight loss progress?
GM: Over the past year, I have lost 50 lbs and am now down to 165. Andrea has lost 22 lbs and she is now at a healthy 56 lbs. While Andrea is close to her ideal weight, I still want to continue to lose more weight. Now I have the knowledge and the confidence to do so.
SD: Wow! That's fantastic. One of the reasons we started PetsMove was because we wanted people like you (and dog's like Andrea) to share insights and tips on what worked for you. What is one thing you would tell someone who would like their dog or themselves to lose weight?
GM: First of all, realize that we (and our dogs) are all different. The exercise and diet combination that works for one might not work as well for another. Make sure that you find exercise routines that you enjoy and are convenient for you and your pet. For the diet aspect, find lower calorie foods that you still enjoy so you don't feel deprived. For your dog's diet, consider switching to a higher quality food to ensure that they are getting adequate nutrients even though you are cutting back their daily calories.
One trick that I used for Andrea was to substitute fresh veggies for some of the food she was eating. So if I was giving her two cups of food a day, I gave her 1 cup of veggies and 1 cup of a high quality dog food. This way, she got the same amount of food with a much smaller caloric intake. Plus, she always thought the veggies were a special treat—she loved them!
SD: That's a great tip – fill up on lower calorie veggies! Can you tell our readers a little more about your magazine and website?
GM: Of course! Our magazine originally launched in December 2011, but this September we launched the first fully interactive digital magazine for dog lovers.
Our focus is on the human-dog bond; we also share forward-thinking information based on the newest trends within the dog-industry to inspire healthy pets and well-informed pet-owners. Unlike traditional format magazines, we want our readers to directly interact with the magazine—immersing themselves in its content for a unique, engaging experience. Interactivity includes video, slideshows, audio clips, direct links to shopping, and more. Ultimately, our goal is to inspire, engage and educate our readers. And by adding interactivity we are moving forward with that goal.
Subscriptions are available for $15 per year or $2.99 per issue by visiting http://pupculturemagazine.com/current-issue .
SD: Thanks Gabriella, it was great talking with you. Are you going to join the PetsMove community?
GM: Absolutely. I look forward to participating and interacting with the community. In fact, we will contribute 5 annual subscriptions to our magazine for you to include as part of your "Movers of the Month" prizes that are awarded to active PetsMove members.
SD: That is so kind, thanks for that! (Note to readers – we will be offering these subscription prizes in the upcoming months!)

Is it weird that I feel left out of these kinds of conversations a little bit, since my dogs are in good weight and have never been overweight? I could stand to lose a little, but my dogs certainly don't need to, and it makes me feel like a lot of fitness tips and articles and such don't apply to us at all…

Hi Crystal,
Sounds like we're in the same boat as you (regarding no overweight dogs!). We like to share ideas for fun things to do or places to go with your pup… based on our experience. Hope you stick around!
Diane recently posted…Hiking Fort Mountain with Dogs
Congratulations Gabriella and Andrea! Tynan (my first dog as an adult) also launched me into an amazingly fit lifestyle and helped me to shed a lot of extra pounds. He was always fit and slim- my thanks to him.
Bethany recently posted…Add Some Excitement To The Everyday Dog Walk
Usually Mr. N has more trouble keeping on weight than losing it. The BF was saying just today that he feels thin. Onyxx could probably stand to lose a few ounces. I'll have to try giving him some vegetables.
Great job, Gabriella and Andrea, you both look awesome! We love hearing about people and dogs that are fit and really understand how great it feels! Keep up the good work, it should be easy with the human dog partnership!

I always thought my dog Scooter was a good weight until a recurrent limp on his front leg would slow down our cycling efforts. Talking to the vet I discovered that a 'running' dog should be super lean to help cut the stress down from all the impact on their shoulders….so Scoots has now dropped another few kilos & the limp is not so problematic anymore…..

Great interview! Congrats to Gabriella and Andrea, what a great accomplishment!

Hi Y'all!
Love your post! My Human always struggles to cram enough exercise for both of us into a hectic day. Now it seems we are both struggling as our metabolism is slowing with winter coming and age already here. We aren't much for doing "inside" stuff. So weather often is an issue.
Y'all come back now,

Sounds like Gabriella and Andrea are doing great and I bet they're feeling good too.
Now does anyone have any tips for teaching dogs to throw a ball for me to chase? 🙂

Sen. John HoevenJohn Henry HoevenDavis: The Hall of Shame for GOP senators who remain silent on Donald Trump Bottom line Bipartisan senators seek funding for pork producers forced to euthanize livestock MORE (R-N.D.) predicts that the House and Senate will agree on a long-term surface transportation bill by June 30, when current funding runs out.
The member of a House-Senate highway bill conference committee also said signs point to a provision mandating the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approve the controversial Keystone XL pipeline being included in the bill.
The State Department this year rejected the oil pipeline running from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico after Congress tried to force it to make a decision. The stated reason was not enough time to consider the pipeline's merits.
"I think we will pass Keystone as part of the highway bill," Hoeven, who is a chief Senate proponent of Keystone, said, in an appearance on C-Span's "Newsmakers" airing Sunday.
The highway bill conference committee met for the first time this week and publicly there was little sign of compromise.
The senator noted that the House passed a highway bill with Keystone in it by a "veto proof" majority and said that Keystone has 58 senators in support.
"Sen. Baucus has been very helpful," he added.
The House passed its highway bill, which authorizes programs through September on a 293-127 with support from 69 Democrats. Two senior Democrat leaders, Reps. James Clyburn (S.C.) and John Larson (Conn.), approved of the measure.
Hoeven said that even if gas prices drop, pressure will remain on the White House to follow an all of the above energy strategy that includes Keystone.

Do You Have a Summer House?
In all my Summers, I've usually either had a family house in the mountains or by the beach to escape to on the weekend, or I've been able to hop between the getaways of my friends all season. As nice as it is to have a second home, rental, or even a Summer share to visit when the weather gets hot, it's a lot of work to make it feel like home — and owning one means you're in for hosting duties, too. Tell me . . . do you have a Summer house? Or do you stay at your primary residence year-round?
