I´m very pleasure about this news and agree sincerely that work.
I really think that a scumm release without wince version doesnt have any sense. It´s this way couse I have one Tungsten TX, wii, NDS, PC, notebook... And I don´t use scumm in those platforms. I like so much to play scumm in my Hp1940 in dentist, train, waiting in any queve, late ini the night, in my vacances... such a "adventures gaming on the go"
I agree sincerely that work.Thank you very much.
Best regards.
I echo this sentiment. I really appreciate all the hard work you guys poured into this. I've been using scummvm for years and had no idea you added support for SQ3 thru 5. Totally blew me away to see it available. Thank you!!! You made my week I can't even begin to relate how much time I've wasted in pocketdos and pdosbox over the years trying to get SQ3 (my favorite) running.
Thanks for the positive feedback, always nice to hear
In fact, the missing 1.2.0 version for Windows CE (which included the Sierra games support first) made me pickup the WinCE port, because I think a lot of people would appreciate playing Sierra games on Windows CE (including myself )
I registered with ScummVM just so I could post a message here and say thank you very much for fixing the WinCE port! I have long enjoyed ScummVM on my WinCE 5.0 GPS device and I was saddened when the port became broken. Alas, I didn't have the programming ability to fix it, and the wizards at ScummVM started adding all kinds of new-old games! So, I just wanted to let you know that yes, there are many still out there who want to play Sierra games and other ScummVM games on WinCE, and I also wanted to say THANK YOU AGAIN to all who worked to fix this port and who now maintain it! And while I'm on my thank you roll, thank you to all you ScummVM developers! What a great piece of software you have created!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!
I just also want to thank you for your work. I highly appreciate the new release. scummvm is a great project and I love it.
Thank you soooo much.

Leflunomide and teriflunomide, Bundesgerichtshof, Germany, 24 July 2012, Case no. BGH X ZR 126/09
In its decision BGH X ZR 126/09 as of 24 July, 2012, the Bundesgerichtshof nullified a patent that claimed a composition of leflunomide and teriflunomide. Leflunomide is, i.a. used against rheumatoid arthritis, whereas teriflunomide is the active metabolite of leflunomide, that means that within a usual storage period, leflunomide is metabolized to teriflunomide. It One skilled in the art would have come to a formulation comprising leflunomide as only therapeutic agent before the priority date without being inventive. However, the person skilled in the art had no incentive to come to a combination of leflunomide and teriflunomide in the amounts as claimed in the patent.
The Bundesgerichtshof ruled that despite the fact that the claimed combination was novel and inventive, the patent had to be nullified, because the combination of the two components occurred necessarily within usual storage periods from the single agent medicine comprising only leflunomide as active ingredient. Therefore, the only question to decide was if it would have been novel and inventive to the person skilled in the art to come to a single agent leflunomide preparation. The Bundesgerichtshof denied this question and nullified the patent, because the result of the work of the person skilled in the art necessarily revealed the claimed combination of leflunomide and teriflunomide.

Pharmaceutical Companies Compete Early for US Government Reimbursement
Establishing Procedures Helps Address Regulatory-Based Inquiries, According to Cutting Edge Information
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC–(Marketwired – June 10, 2015) – Even without pricing considerations, securing reimbursement status starts with being proactive. US pharmaceutical companies typically begin developing drug reimbursement strategies during Phase 3 development by incorporating state price negotiation committee (PNC) schedules and the drug's therapeutic class processes. However, according to recent study findings by primary pharmaceutical intelligence firm Cutting Edge Information, some companies begin communicating with reimbursement agencies during Phase 2.
The study, "US Government Reimbursement: Winning Key Formulary Positions and Managing Pricing Systems" includes detailed best practices that pharmaceutical companies employ to maximize product reimbursement. By the time reimbursement activities are underway, for example, companies have generally had the chance to learn the makeup of each state's PNC committee, what the review processes are and how PNC expectations vary from state to state. That allows reimbursement teams to develop product dossiers that address each state's specific processes and needs prior to making a reimbursement decision.
"To be successful from a reimbursement perspective, drug companies need to understand PNC schedules and the associated therapeutic class processes," said Jacob Presson, senior research analyst at Cutting Edge Information. "For instance, companies may examine the types of products that states review, as well as how states conduct these evaluations."
According to Cutting Edge Information's study, drug companies will hold an average of 11 meetings with US government payers during Phase 3 development, each of which lasts more than one hour. At least two companies examined in the study begin these meetings during Phase 2 development.
"US Government Drug Reimbursement" provides a roadmap for better navigating government drug reimbursement amidst the growing influence of the Affordable Care Act. The report, which focuses exclusively on US government reimbursement strategies and trends, draws on quantitative and qualitative data from top-performing life science executives to provide actionable insights for winning and maintaining formulary position. Additional guidance outlined in the report includes:
- Anticipating government payer needs and developing strong market access strategies;
- Managing payer relationships before and after product launches to maintain formulary position; and
- Understanding compliant government reimbursement practices in the United States' new healthcare environment.

TUCSON, Ariz. – The San Jose Earthquakes took a 1-0 lead into halftime, but ultimately fell 3-1 against the Houston Dynamo in their Tucson camp finale on Saturday at the Kino Sports Complex.
Chris Wondolowski and Clarence Goodson both made their preseason debuts for San Jose after returning from United States Men's National Team Duty. The Earthquakes were the aggressors in the first half with a bulk of their 2013 starting lineup on the field. Houston rallied with three goals in the second half after the Earthquakes substituted each of their 10 field players.
Steven Lenhart nearly opened his preseason account in the 11th minute with a header from the middle of the box. German trialist Andreas Gorlitz whipped a cross into the mix where Lenhart powered a header over Houston goalkeeper Tyler Deric and into the crossbar.
Wondolowski put San Jose on the scoreboard in the 22nd minute. Jordan Stewart took the ball up field on a counter attack following a Dynamo corner kick, eating up space before sliding a pass to Shea Salinas on the wing. Salinas took a touch and fired with his left foot, forcing Deric to punch the ball away. Wondolowski was first to the loose ball, tapping it into the open net for his first goal of the preseason.
Mike Fucito had a chance to double the Earthquakes' lead in the 57th minute after a ball over the top found him one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Fucito dribbled into the box and tried to slot his shot toward the near post, but Deric was able to knock the ball away with his leg.
Houston equalized midway through the second half thanks to a deflected shot. Omar Cummings took the ball to the top of the Dynamo's box on a counter attack and then blasted a shot that caromed off an Earthquakes defender and past goalkeeper Bryan Meredith.
The Dynamo pulled away with two more goals, the first of which came in the 75th minute by trialist Sito Seoane. Omar Cummings targeted Mark Sherrod at the top of the box before sliding a pass to Seoane on the run toward goal. Seoane tucked his shot past Meredith for the game winner. Tony Cascio capped the scoring 10 minutes later with a half volley after a pinpoint pass to the far post from Euan Holden.
The Earthquakes will return to San Jose on Sunday ahead of an exhibition against the LA Galaxy on Saturday, Feb. 15 at Fresno's Chukchansi Park. Kickoff is 7 p.m. PT with a livestream available at www.sjearthquakes.com.

Man barricades self in Brevard County home
Man barricades self in Brevard County home
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. —
A Brevard County man barricaded himself inside his home Friday.
The man was served an eviction notice Friday morning, but threatened to kill himself and refused to surrender, authorities said.
Investigators said the SWAT team and sheriff's deputies arrived at the home on the 1800 block of Smith Drive in Titusville because it is believed that the man has guns inside the home.
Deputies and SWAT eventually left because they said they would not shoot someone over an eviction and that they'd have a judge handle the situation. However some officers have stayed behind to work on their own time.
The home is across the street from where William Woodward opened fire on three neighbors, killing two earlier this year.

Book rate is cheap and will only take 2 months (tops) to arrive. You will have something to look forward to for two months, and some good reading after that. If you eat oatmeal, bring some. It is often impossible to find. When you get here don't ever blow your nose in a restaurant (you shouldn't do that anywhere but ESPECIALLY in Korea). Also, don't give a Korean any used item as it is regarded as a big insult.

I find that I don't particularly like maple syrup much when I go home. Can anyone else share how they have "made do" in Korea?

Bringing nothing is the best approach - you'll probably learn more about yourself that way. Something that you feel you can't live without may seem a little petty in Korea. Coming to Korea made me realize how much time I was wasting with TV - even an hour a day is too much. It was only by living without a TV that I saw the err of my ways. And let's face it - with a credit card and an internet connection, you get get pretty much anything from anywhere sent to your door in a pinch.

You make it sound very easy! Perfect bagels! I love to taste the berries in my bagels too. Thanks for the recipe.ReplyDelete
Nicole, These are not only gorgeous but they sound fabulous, thanks for testing them out for us - I know that was a difficult job but best accomplished by you, for sure! :) I love the idea of using freeze-dried blueberries - I'll have to see if they have them in my area - thanksReplyDelete
Thank you! Freeze-dried blueberries are more easily found in the market these days. Trader Joe's has a wide variety of freeze-dried fruit.
These look pretty fantastic!ReplyDelete
I love everything with blueberrieS!!! yumm!! looks delish!!ReplyDelete
I used this recipe and substituted dried blueberries for the freezer dried. It worked very well and my testers said it was the best bagel they ever had! I did find shaping the bagels very difficult. Any tips?ReplyDelete
The best tip for working with any recipe... practice☺.Delete
Hi Nicole, question! Does the flour need to be bread flour? Or will all purpose flour yield similar results?ReplyDelete
No, all purpose flour will not yield the same results. Bread flour has a higher gluten content and will hold up nicely to the given cooking tempertures. It gives a chewier texture with a nice pull.Delete
Do you use the dough hook or paddle when mixing these?ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love hearing from family, friends, and bloggers, so please leave a comment. Happy cooking!

The former state Supreme Court justice's victory in Alabama's GOP runoff is at once a blow to President Trump, who had endorsed incumbent Sen. Luther Strange, and also a validation of Trumpian outsider politics.
FBI Director James Comey's announcement Sunday that there would be no investigation of Hillary Clinton closes the immediate issue, but it is likely to reverberate long after Election Day.
An unusually high percentage of Americans still haven't made up their minds about whom to vote for. In a close presidential race, those votes could be decisive.
The verdict on the FBI director's actions may depend on what the emails reveal – and who wins the election.
People seem to be seeing what they want to see in the latest batch of emails, making the net effect of their release relatively minor.
Republicans are likely to be more unified on tax cuts than on health care, but President Trump and Speaker Ryan still face formidable challenges to push their package through.
As reports of contacts with Russia emerge, the president's denials and counterattacks create the impression that the administration has something to hide.
Jackson, a populist outsider, was the first president to employ a full-time artist, who operated in a manner not unlike the White House photographers of today.
Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford all resented the CIA, but they learned to work with it when unexpected crises hit.
Spectactors attend the opening of the Lumiere 2018 Grand Lyon Film Festival, in Lyon, France, Oct. 13.
House Speaker Paul Ryan's brand of small-government conservatism might be evolving in ways that echo beyond Donald Trump.
Trump has taken anti-wonkiness to new levels, and his high level of support echoes populist sentiment of yesteryear and follows a decades-long slide in trust in traditional institutions.
Duverger's law is a political theory that says democracies with single-member legislative districts and winner-take-all voting tend to favor a two-party system.
As the GOP becomes whiter, older, and more religious, Democrats become more diverse, younger, and less religious. The next president faces a daunting challenge bridging that gap.
Structural factors rooted in America's partisan divide help make the Democratic and GOP candidates the least-liked in modern polling.
The Democratic presidential candidate repeatedly seems to reveal as little as possible to the public. Is she too lawyerly for her own good?
Past perceived gaffes, such as Romney's '47 percent' comment in 2012, have drawn far more attention from the media than from voters, who may make up their minds about candidates in other ways.
This week again showed Donald Trump's ability to make assertions that would sink a more-traditional candidate, yet thrive. But that's the point. He's something wholly new in US politics.
Part of that is the Trump factor. But part of it is the fact that an uncharacteristically high number of voters haven't made up their minds.
Donald Trump hopes that his core of white, working-class support will help him break the Democratic stranglehold on union voters. But data suggest the story is more complicated than that.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Oil futures closed higher on Friday, but fell nearly 4% for the week, as traders assessed the risks tied to the week's referendum in Crimea, which could threaten crude supplies from Russia as well as energy demand in the region.
The market also weighed a monthly report showing an unexpected surge in last month's Iraqi output to its highest level since 1979.

Crude oil for April delivery CLJ4, +0.00% picked up 69 cents, or 0.7%, to settle at $98.89 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Thursday, prices posted a gain for the first time in four sessions.
Tracking the most-active contracts, prices saw a loss of roughly 3.6% for the week, with much of that decline due to concerns over the prospects for energy demand following data showing a slowdown in China's economy. Read: Another worrying chart on China.
On ICE Futures, April Brent crude LCOJ4, -0.29% meanwhile, added $1.18, or 1.1%, to end at $108.57 a barrel on the contract's expiration day. Prices for the contract lost about 0.4% for the week.
"It is a difficult analysis as to whether the Ukraine situation is bullish or bearish for oil," analysts at the Kilduff Report said on Friday.
"Russia's oil production and supply to Europe hangs in the balance and its loss to the market is certainly supportive," they said. "The U.S. cannot fill the gap with [Strategic Petroleum Reserve] oil or anything else."
The U.S. government announced earlier this week that it's selling up to 5 million barrels of sour crude from the petroleum reserve in order to "assess the system's capabilities in the event of a disruption." Analysts have speculated whether the sale has anything to do with the turmoil in Ukraine.
For the global oil market, however, "the damage to the economy of Europe and Russia would be greatly impacted by a battle and the accompanying sanctions," said the analysts at the Kilduff Report. "The slowdown would reverberate to China and the U.S., due to Europe's woes. The expected economic drag is likely large enough to make the net analysis that oil prices would fall."
IEA reports jump in Iraq output
In addition to a referendum due Sunday in the Ukrainian region of Crimea to gauge support for it breaking away to join Russia, markets also digested news from the International Energy Agency's monthly oil report.
Increases in oil supply from the U.S. and Canada as well as a surprise jump in Iraqi crude production in February helped to offset rising demand brought on by the cold U.S. winter and geopolitical concerns linked to Russia and Ukraine, the IEA said on Friday.
"The interesting spin ... is the big up-shift in [the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries] production volumes recently," said Matt Parry, chief oil analyst at the IEA in Paris.
Essentially, 500,000 barrels per day of additional OPEC supplies were seen in February, to 30.5 million barrels per day, "as much higher Iraqi volumes surprised everyone," he told MarketWatch. "Nobody, including ourselves, had been expecting this," with Iraqi crude along surging by 530,000 barrels per day for the month to 3.62 million barrels per day.
"Given the recent uptick in geopolitical tensions — which is about the most I can really say about the Crimea at the moment — the likely easing in the call on OPEC [demand for OPEC oil], to 28.9 [million barrels a day] in 1Q14, should provide something of a cushion to markets, noting OPEC produced 30.5 mb/d in February and 30.0 mb/d in January," he said.
Back on Nymex Friday, April natural gas US:NGJ14 tacked on 4 cents, or 1%, to $4.425 per million British thermal units. The move came after a 2.4% drop the previous day on the back of weekly U.S. supply data that printed roughly in line with estimates. For the week, prices lost about 4.2%.
April gasoline US:RBJ4 edged up by almost 3 cents, or 0.9%, to $2.96 a gallon, down about 0.3% from the week-ago close, while April heating oil US:HOJ4 over 2 cents, or 0.8%, to $2.94 a gallon, losing 2.3% on the week.

ILWACO, Wash.—A 55-year-old Seattle area man has died after his inflatable raft capsized in the ocean in southwest Washington.
Pacific County Sheriff Scott Johnson said Sunday that John Beaumeir of Woodinville was rafting with a friend in the surf off of Benson Beach at Cape Disappointment State Park when their raft capsized several times in the rough waters.
The two managed to get back on board, but the raft capsized again and partially deflated. Beaumeir became separated from his friend, 28-year-old Israel Anderson, who managed to hold onto the raft and paddled to shore Saturday afternoon.
A surf rescue team spotted Beaumeir unconscious in the ocean, and rescuers attempted to resuscitate him. He was taken to Ocean Beach Hospital in Ilwaco where he died.
Both Beaumeir and Anderson worked as nurses at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Re: still no hope of a teacher, should i switch schools?
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:13 pm
Since you can do shikantaza there is enough to settle the mind upon a proper aiming-point, which for me is the nikāyan analysis of the rise and fall of psychophysical causal processes.alan... wrote: ... i only consider zen because my choices are: zen or tibetan lol! it's the best one of the two. i agree with you. i've just got so many questions!!!
for example i even find questions in thanissaro's little quote above! what is concentration per se? zero thought? thoughts arise but no interaction? is there consciousness of the senses and inputs? and so on. i just wish i could freaking talk to a teacher!
zen goes back and forth as well. some teachers in history went with a really odd outlook like meditation is the opposite of what you want to do since by meditating you are getting further from the truth because the goal of meditation is your true nature so to seek it is to lose it. that kind of stuff is almost the exact opposite of what the buddha taught. but soto zen for example is fairly close to theravada. it's really a mix of different traditions. you see old school buddhism in early zen, heavy on meditation and morality, then in late zen you see this odd mixture of it and other things, some masters are extremely violent, one cuts a man's finger off, another cuts a cat in half, there are masters shouting and beating people, and so on, and they teach odd things like the above about meditation on and off. in some ways it's far from what the buddha taught but in other ways, coupled with the theravada dhamma (or perhaps a firm guiding hand through zen practice itself), these shocking ideas and thoughts can help cut through some of the confusion in practice, that is as long as one already has a firm grounding in theravada dhamma.
for example i used shikantaza to just sit and noticed how automated everything is in the body, even consciousness itself! this was very liberating as i realized how little room there is for a willful self when the body and mind run with or without my consent!
I did zen for 20 years and other than the contemplative work of zazen and shikantaza, found it to be fortune-cookie Buddhism and a poor guide.

Nice Boost for Coal Stocks
Wednesday's trading session saw shares of most of the major coal miners jump on favorable news out of China, regarding renewed government support for urban development and growth. Shares of Alpha Natural Resources rose roughly 11%, Arch Coal was up over 8%, Walter Energy was up about 7%, and Peabody added 4.5%. While there was little follow-through during Thursday's session, the gains held. When this move is considered in conjunction with a frequently overlooked tax advantage to coal miners by shipping their product overseas, coal becomes an interesting allocation for the long term.
New boss, same as the old boss
Under the new leadership of Xi Jinping, China's ruling party has signaled its intention to focus on increased urbanization and allowing market forces to dictate prices for more goods. These comments led to a strong performance for both Chinese machinery and cement companies on the news, with some of the largest market participants surging by 5% to 10%. Also driving the Chinese market was the abolition of a regulation that limited investments by insurers in banks. The release of this restriction led to a strong surge in the financial sector that, combined with infrastructure companies, led to the largest gain in the Chinese market in three months.
The news is reminiscent of the Chinese government's announcement of infrastructure stimulus a few months ago. With reference to that news release, Patricia Mohr of Scotiabank explained:
In September, a new infrastructure development programme for China was announced. About $160-billion will be spent on subways, roads, ports and navigation channels. This will boost GDP by about 2% over the next four years. We're already beginning to see the effects of this in the steel and cement sectors.
The recent news from China signals that this trend may not only continue, but may intensify.
Chinese demand should burn higher
In a recent press release, in which Peabody discussed third quarter results, the company shared its bullish projections for coal demand looking forward:
Anticipated global economic growth and China's infrastructure spending should lead to global seaborne metallurgical coal demand growth of 10 to 15 percent in 2013, and Wood Mackenzie projects coal to overtake oil as the world's largest energy source in 2013 as global coal demand further increases next year.
This is particularly impressive against the backdrop of falling U.S. demand; "Peabody projects U.S. coal demand will decline approximately 120 million tons in 2012, the vast majority of which has already occurred."
Geography is an important factor in this equation, as companies operating in the Powder River Basin have a certain advantage, given their proximity to the West Coast of Canada. In addition to Peabody, Arch Coal and Alpha Natural Resources have a significant presence in the region. Proposed ports in both the U.S. and Canada should prove advantageous for these players, but are several years away from being operational. There are currently no operational U.S. coal terminals on the West Coast.
For U.S.-based coal export, one must look to Houston and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners. The company recently expanded its arrangement with Peabody, increasing the coal company's export capacity by five to seven additional tons of coal per year, from 2014 to 2020. Kinder Morgan has a similar deal with Arch Coal, by which that company is able to ship at least 10 million tons of coal per year out of the Texas terminal. Despite these important relationships, many companies, including Kinder Morgan, are taking steps to increase West Coast export capacity.
As Walter Energy is a pure metallurgic coal play, despite lacking this geographical piece of the equation, recent rumors suggest that the company may be an acquisition target of BHP Billiton . BHP, which likely has a more significant interest in a metallurgic play than a thermal play, will certainly benefit from the movement in China.
The tax angle
As ports or "coal terminals" scramble to serve the rising demand for coal overseas, U.S. companies are leveraging a tax advantage that exists in the Canadian code. While Canada's carbon tax laws were set up to protect the environment by taxing the sale of coal that will be burned inside of British Columbia, the law exempts any supply that is exported from the country with the intention of being used elsewhere. The province is already home to some of the lowest business taxes around, meaning that the added ability to export coal, without a carbon tax, makes BC a very attractive place to do business. When this factor is combined with the convenience of shipping coal from the West Coast to China and India, the advantages of mining the Powder River basin become even more evident.
Explosive price moves
It's important to understand how truly volatile the coal industry can be before investing. Looking at the chart below, you can see the enormous range that these stocks have traded in over just the last six months. Unless you're prepared for this volatility, this is not a good industry for the faint of heart; single-day, double-digit moves are not uncommon.
If, however, you are both willing and able to maintain a position for the longer term, not reacting to every swing up and down, coal continues to be an interesting place to invest. On a global scale, the companies in the industry are well positioned. An allocation to coal should lead to positive results if the expected trends play out in 2013 and beyond.
With the U.S. relying on the rest of the world for such a large percentage of our goods, many investors are ready for the end of the "made in China" era.

Brindy survives against all odds
BRINDY Catherine-Anne Taylor is living proof that miracles happen.
Brindy was born without a heartbeat at 29 weeks after the placenta ruptured.
Tamara Allcorn had a very rare uterine malformation which meant she was always going to have a premature baby.
But she never imagined that her delivery would trump all the "horror stories" she had heard, putting her life and that of her unborn baby at risk.
Tamara, from Federal, said she had felt unwell while driving home from work and when the feeling did not pass called an ambulance.
Paramedics rushed her to Nambour General Hospital where obstetricians were waiting.
Tamara, 25, is a trained sonographer, so when the doctors were listening for the baby's heartbeat, she realised there wasn't one.
Doctors promptly broke her waters and four minutes later, Tamara gave birth to her 1390g baby girl.
Her partner, Rodney Taylor, recalls arriving at the hospital 10 minutes after Tamara not knowing if his wife and child would live.
"When I finally saw Tamara she told me doctors had delivered our baby," he said.
"I asked if she was alive and she said they were trying to save her life."
Brindy needed brief cardiac stimulation to start her heart again, and doctors said it was a miracle she was as healthy as she was.
"Most babies' lungs aren't developed before 32 weeks," Tamara said. "We were very lucky Brindy's were developed."
Mum and bub were taken to Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital two hours after the birth.
Brindy spent five weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit before being moved back to Nambour General Hospital for two weeks.
Tamara said she watched as her "little girl" was put on medication to fix the hole in her heart, given breathing assistance and kept under lights to fix her jaundice.
"I knew in my gut she was going to be fine, but it was the scariest experience of my life," she said.
To keep her mind off her daughter, Tamara returned to work six weeks later.
Now, Tamara is as healthy as any other one-month-old.
Tamara and Rodney said the doctors and nurses at both hospitals had been amazing and the level of care was second to none.
Doctors have told Tamara it is "too risky" for her to have another child, but given this miracle, the Coast couple are not giving up hope of giving Brindy a little brother or sister.
"I knew in my gut she was going to be fine, but it was the scariest experience of my life."

At the time Pope Francis was making headlines with his three-day whirlwind pilgrimage to the Holy Land (much, much more on that inside, including two news stories, a pictorial In Focus and the editorial), I was making my own little pilgrimage to the great city of Pittsburgh for, well, mostly baseball.
The Nationals were playing the Pirates, and I got to celebrate my birthday by attending two games at that city's beautiful ballpark. (They split the two games, by the way, with the win coming on the actual day of my birth. Probably not a coincidence.)
But I would have been remiss if I had visited Pittsburgh and not gone to at least one of the sites that was highlighted in last year's Top 10 Catholics Cities, USA, In Focus (June 2, 2013). So on Saturday afternoon, my traveling companion and I hopped in the car and headed up Troy Hill to one of Pittsburgh's hidden Catholic gems, St. Anthony's Chapel, to visit the largest public collection of relics in the world — and the largest collection of relics, public or private, outside of the Vatican.
I'm going to be honest: I have never considered myself a "relic person." Maybe they have always seemed a little too strange or perhaps a little too real. Whatever the reason, relics typically have made me equal parts fascinated and nervous.
My trip to St. Anthony's Chapel, though, shifted my perspective. A labor of love created from scratch by a Belgian priest, the chapel houses more than 5,000 relics, including a thorn from Jesus' crown of thorns and a piece of St. Joseph's cloak. When you start to think about it, that's pretty remarkable.
But what really made an impression was the tour of the chapel by guide Stephen Sawczak. If you're ever looking for someone to give you an introduction to relics, this is your guy. Certainly he was knowledgeable and able to point out which relics were where in the beautifully ornate chapel. But what "Steve" (as he introduced himself as) brought to the table was passion.
He talked for an hour about the mysteries contained in St. Anthony's Chapel but, he fully admitted, could have talked for at least two more. And believe me, he could have.
"Scripture is alive here," Steve stressed, as he pointed out relics from the early Church popes, the apostles and the saints. But only, he said — pausing for effect all the while — if you believe.
It would be doing Steve a disservice to describe his passion as anything less than evangelical zeal, and it couldn't help but leave me feeling more in step with the Church's communion of saints than I have in the long time.
I guess this is why we go on pilgrimage in the first place: to reconnect with the Faith in ways we might allow ourselves to at home. That certainly seemed to be the case with Pope Francis' journey to the Holy Land, and it most certainly was for my trip to St. Anthony's Chapel.

I often go around in games exploring and looking for screenshot opportunities, a lot of which I've posted here over the years. The avid gaming photographer in me always comes out when I'm playing a pretty game, and especially if the game has a photo mode available heh. My screenshots have often been spread across different threads or sections of the forum though so I thought it'd be nice to have a dedicated thread especially for them. I imagine I'll be the main poster in here given the amount of screenshots I tend to take but it'd be great if more of you join in too, even just to comment on stuff if you don't have any screenshots to share yourself!
- No major spoilers for any brand new releases. We don't want people avoiding the thread due to fear of having a new game spoiled for them. That's not cool.
- Name the game your screenshots are taken from along with its platform. It may not be obvious for some titles and they may encourage some of us to want to check them out!
- No limit to the amount of consecutive posts you can make, or the amount of screenshots per post, at least for now. If there's something you wanna share, share it. Any forum activity is good activity.
- Post 2 screenshots on each line so as to help reduce thread scrolling (see some of my posts below as an example).
- Try to limit your compression if possible. For example: Please don't take a jpg screenshot only to upload it to Facebook or Twitter and then share it here. If the screenshot was taken as a jpg then it is likely already compressed, but sites like FB & Twitter apply their own compression on top of that, further destroying the image you've just taken. Compressed screenshots won't be removed or anything (and I don't want to discourage sharing) but as we're sharing art it would be preferable to view them without compression. GeForce Experience & FRAPS can save as PNG, as can both PS4 & Steam if you enable them. For PS4, hit the share button, then options and you'll find PNG under "Image format" of screenshot settings, you will then need to transfer your images to a USB stick & upload them. For Steam - go to "View > Settings > In-Game and tick "Save an uncompressed copy". This will save a PNG in your screenshot folder as well as a compressed jpg (the latter of which are the ones which can be uploaded to your Steam gallery so you will need to upload the uncompressed screenshots elsewhere). - You may then want to convert that PNG to a full-quality non-compressed jpg to reduce their filesize a bit. Up to you.
- Use a host such as flickr. They offer 1TB of free storage, the ability to organize your screenshot library into individual game albums and most importantly, they don't compress your images themselves when you upload to them.
Looking forward to seeing what games you guys are playing and decide to share screenshots of and I hope you enjoy what I end up sharing in here too. Discussion is welcome and encouraged!

Clarkson Alumnus Wins Graduate Student Paper Award
David Ogulei, a 2006 Ph.D. graduate of Clarkson University's chemical engineering program, is the recipient of an honorable mention award for the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Environmental Division Graduate Student Paper Awards.
The awards are given each year to graduate students from the top chemical engineering universities in the nation. Ogulei competed in a large pool and to receive honorable mention is a substantial honor.
Ogulei received the award for his paper titled "Factor Analysis of Submicron Particle Size Distributions near a Major United States - Canada Trade Bridge," which was featured in the Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association in 2007.
The paper stems from research with Clarkson faculty Andrea Ferro, Peter Jaques and Philip Hopke. Conducted in 2004, the study looked at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo, N.Y. and the size distribution of particles emitted by idling and moving commercial diesel trucks and other traffic-related sources associated with the bridge connecting the U.S. and Canada as well as other urban particle sources.
According to Ogulei, there have been several reports of increased asthma and cardiovascular disease rates near the bridge and solving this phenomenon was the team's ultimate goal.
"Our results suggest that many of the particles associated with fresh tailpipe diesel exhaust might be too small to be detectable by current technology. This conclusion has immense implications on the design of health studies associated with diesel emissions, as well as future designs of sampling instruments," said Ogulei.
Ogulei is currently working as an air quality engineer with the Washington State Department of Ecology in Yakima, Wash.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

In times of summer not many interesting snowboard clips get washed ashore. This behind the scenes edit of Bode Merrill hitting a rail/redirect feature has been posted by every website and their uncle, but it does have a nice vibe to it. Here you go then.
I flew out to Denver, Colorado the day after Christmas to meet up with Bode Merrill, Chris Grenier, Andy Wright, and Gary Milton. Considering how dry this season was, I was happy just to see snow on the ground. A lot of crazy stuff went down this trip—this isn't one of those crazy things, it's just a warm up.
But for me, this is always the best part of the session.
It's the moment when you know it's going to work.
It's really exciting.
For anyone that's ever built a ramp, rail, or jump—you know the feeling. As soon as you know it's going to work, your brain goes crazy. You're thinking of what you know you can do, what you might be able to do, what you want to do—and what you don't want to do. It's really fun to watch someone as talented as Bode go through this process. He makes it look really easy and always ends up doing something insane.

Lady Gaga Has Pink Hair
Move over, Pink and Katy Perry. You're not the only pop divas out there who can rock pink hair. Lady Gaga showed off pink-tinted locks,which are white blonde underneath and at the roots. Yes, it's probably a wig, but you can't deny that this is a gorgeous look for the outrageous, fashion-forward star and hair chameleon.
She posted the photo on her LittleMonsters site, as she was 40 minutes away from hitting the stage at one of the gigs on her Born This Way Ball tour. She's always thinking of and sharing with her monsters, isn't she?
Her hair is big and voluminous, like a country star's, tumbling around her shoulders in waves. The whisper pink hue is subtle, but Mother Monster, who has dealt with a body backlash after she gained a few pounds, sparking the Body Revolution movement on her site, is a stunner in this photo. We're clutching our chests (and staring at hers — check out that cleavage!).
It's like the result of Marilyn Monroe, Gwen Stefani, Jean Harlow and Dolly Parton being harvested in a petri dish. Her makeup artist Tara Savaleo did a bangin' job with Gaga's eye makeup, too. They extended, extreme winged, black, cateye liner gives off the aura of Old Hollywood glam, too. There's a tinge of modern anime to her look, as well. It's a collision of classic and contempo at once.
Okay, PopCrushers. We've seen Gaga with Orange Crush soda-colored hair and with Louis Vuitton brown hair, which she has rocked for quite some time. Now she's showing off some petal-hued, white hot hair, as least for her stage show. What do you think? Should she keep this look?

My LO is almost 5 weeks. We got diagnosed with thrush yesterday.
I had been experiencing a progressively painful letdown and the LC finally realized it was ductal thrush. Once we checked my LO mouth we saw a very thick milk tongue, and realized maybe it wasn't milk tongue at all.
My nipples are uneffected, and thankfully the LO doesn't have a rash on his bottom.
The pediatrician gave him nyastin to paint into his mouth 4 times a day.
I was given 14 days of flucozanole 150mg a day.
I also bought a ton of probiotics both for myself and for the LO.
My fear is that this isn't enough to cure us completely. I've read horror stories if how even after medication the thrush came back even more angry the second time. So my question is for those mamas that have done this before. Is there anything else I should do to ensure we will be thrush free by the end of the 2 weeks??
I cut my sugar intake but carbs are kind of hard to cut since I'm breastfeeding and starving.
I plan on getting some Grapefruit seed extract today for the laundry and to use on my nipples.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
Thanks in advance!!

May silver US:SIK4 dropped 29 cents, or 1.4%, to end $19.77 an ounce before the minutes and traded at $19.85 after the minutes.
The Federal Reserve's release of minutes from its March meeting came after the Comex close. It showed that officials had a secret video conference call in early March to discuss overhauling its communication to the market, and reached a general consensus that the 6.5% unemployment rate threshold for the first rate hike was outdated.
In the minutes, officials also spelled out headwinds that would keep rates low even after the first rate hike. Gold tends to benefit from a low interest-rate environment.
During the Comex session, Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at AvaTrade, said the $1,300 mark for gold was under "serious threat ... as the stock market has picked up its lost steam and traders have renewed their love for the equity market."
U.S. equities traded broadly higher Wednesday as investors focused on earnings results.
Some gold watchers were wary of gold's recent price gain. On Tuesday, gold knocked out its highest level in two weeks — up 0.8% to $1,309.10 an ounce — on the back of a weakening dollar and some more unsettling headlines out of the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
Recently "weak equity markets and the geopolitical tensions in Ukraine have given the gold price a boost, allowing it to trade back above $1,300 per troy ounce," said Commerzbank's Eugen Weinberg. "Nonetheless, the latest price increase appears to have been driven to a large extent by speculative investors, whilst physical demand from China has been weak of late."
Gold faces resistance in the vicinity of $1,310 to $1,315, while $1,278 is a support level, according to Andrey Kryuchenkov, strategist at VTB Capital, who also said he "does not see much more upside here unless the dollar tumbles even more or Ukraine tensions escalate once more."
Elsewhere in metals trading, July platinum US:PLN4 fell $2.80, or 0.2%, to $1,438.90 an ounce, while June palladium US:PAM4 tacked on $6.70, or 0.9%, to $782.55 an ounce. High-grade copper for May delivery US:HGK4 dipped by more than a penny, or 0.5%, to $3.04 a pound.
Gold and silver miners tracked the declines among the precious metals, with the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index XAU, -1.50% down 0.7% Wednesday afternoon. The gold-backed SPDR Gold Trust exchange-traded fund GLD, -0.26% lost 0.3%.

Overwhelmed by That 'To-Do' List
Hi Emily,
I'm a fan of David Allen's "Getting Things Done" system, which leaves me with a long, long list of to-dos to wade through and manage. A lot of these items relate to actions I feel I ought to be doing to maintain and care for my home (appliances, exterior upkeep, cleaning, seasonal items, etc.). How can economics help me figure out 1.) whether to do anything at all and 2.) which one to do first?
Good household decision-making often relies on thinking about your household like a firm. And the problem you cite—basically, how to allocate time to tasks—is one well known to firms. The solution is to allocate time to tasks so that the value of the last hour spent on each task is equal. If this isn't the case, you'd be better off switching what you are doing. If the last hour you spent raking leaves didn't contribute much to your house value, but the last hour painting the house contributed a lot, you should have spent the leaf-raking hour doing more painting.
This insight can address both your questions. First: should you do anything at all? Well, that depends on what else you could do with your time. Think about what you would otherwise do with the hour you'd spend on the house: work? Exercise? Xbox? Then, figure out the value of that hour (that could be in money or in "enjoyment"). If the first hour you'd spend on house maintenance is more valuable, you should do at least one hour of maintenance.
Second, which do you do first? For this, you need to rank the tasks based on their value in the first hour of work and do the most valuable one first.
This technique may lead you to switch between tasks before they are done. It's often the first hour on a job that's the most useful—you get the garden looking presentable, if not perfect—and you may want to do a little of many jobs before you finish any given one. This may frustrate your feelings of accomplishment, but you'll have to turn to a psychologist for help with that!
I'm starting a full-time MBA program this fall. I'm excited to begin my business-school experience, but I'm concerned about leveraging myself up with too much debt. Thanks to an "education exception" to early IRA distributions, I'm seriously considering raiding $10,000 of my retirement savings to partially pay for school. Is this a better deal than borrowing?
The most straightforward consideration here is how much money (if any) you lose by raiding your IRA. Although future tax rates are hard to predict, given many years of compounding on the IRA money, I strongly suspect that borrowing money now is a better deal from a purely accounting standpoint.
However, there is a second consideration: When do you need the money the most? Effectively, by using the IRA money you are taking some money from your retired self and giving it to yourself a few years from now (when you'd otherwise be paying interest on debt).
Economists typically think that your happiness goes up as you get more money, but the more you have, the less each additional dollar matters. This means that you value money most in times when you have less income and more expenses.
If you are like most people entering business school, the few years after business school will be a time of (relative) deprivation. You'll be just starting your career, perhaps with a young family full of very expensive kids. This is a time in which you'll need money. Giving up some money in the distant future—by taking money from your IRA—in exchange for more money right after school, when you really need it, may be a good idea.
I say go ahead and raid the IRA.
Dear Emily,
I have a condition that forces me to restrict my diet or else suffer fatigue and concentration difficulties. A new medication is available that allows me to eat what I want. It's very expensive—
about $100,000 a year—but insurance picks up the vast majority of that cost. I can live without this medication by managing my diet. Do you see any ethical issues with using such an expensive medication? Am I taking resources away from more urgent conditions?
Hungrily, Jay
I think you should feel fine with the drug. In fact, I'm pretty sure I can convince myself that in buying the medication you're contributing something to the social good. The medication surely does not cost the drug company $100,000 a year to produce, which means the money can be used for research and development of new drugs. Even if the funds just pad a drug company's profits, the ability to make those profits incentivizes future drug development. So enjoy that cheeseburger—knowing the money you (or, rather, your insurer) spend may be working hard to find a cure for cancer.
