OCALA, Fla., July 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the Florida summer in full swing, pet owners need to be vigilant about protecting their pets from the heat, warns Ocala veterinarian Dr. Kelly Culbertson. Dehydration and heat stroke are two of the most common summer pet health emergencies, and both can be prevented with proactive care. Signs of heat stroke include excessive panting, staggering, fainting or loss of consciousness. Should pets exhibit any of these symptoms, Dr. Culbertson is urging pet owners to seek immediate emergency care.
Veterinarian Dr. Kelly Culbertson is sharing summer pet care tips to help pet owners better protect their pets from the summer heat. "Dehydration and heat stroke are very common summer pet emergencies, especially here in Florida," said Dr. Culbertson. "Keeping pets hydrated is the first step for preventing heat stroke."
If pets stay outside for a significant portion of the day, for example, Dr. Culbertson recommends that pet owners partially freeze their pet's water bowl. As the day progresses and the ice melts, pets will have consistent access to a cooling drink all day.
Summer pet grooming is also an easy way to help pets stay cooler, says the veterinarian. He recommends pet owners take their longer-haired pets to a professional groomer for a summer trim.
"At-home coat clipping can be dangerous, especially if pet owners over clip the coat," said Dr. Culbertson. "An over-clipped coat increases the risk for sunburn. I recommend pet owners use a professional groomer who will clip it to the correct length that is both cooling and still provides adequate sun protection."
Dr. Culbertson is also reminding pet owners not to leave pets in parked cars, even if they only run inside for a quick errand. Even on a cooler summer day, the temperature inside a parked car can reach 100 degrees in just over 15 minutes. The safest place for pets is always at home in air conditioning or with access to cooling fans.
"Don't forget about exotic pets, either," stressed Dr. Culbertson. "Just like cats and dogs, exotic pets like birds can overheat, too if they are trapped all day inside a room that is not sufficiently cooled."
Midday exercise can lead to dehydration and heat exhaustion. Pet owners should avoid exercising their pets during the hottest parts of the day. Even a long walk or a short game of fetch can be taxing for dogs. Additionally, walking on the hot pavement or asphalt can burn a pet's paws. Dr. Culbertson recommends that pet owners adjust their schedule to exercise pets during the cooler early morning or evening hours.
"There's no escaping Florida's heat and humidity, but with a little planning and proactive care, pet owners can keep pets hydrated and healthy all summer long," said Dr. Culbertson.

EIGHTEEN-year-old Mandy Barnett was born more than a decade after Patsy Cline was killed in a plane crash and one year after the Ryman Auditorium closed. Now she is bringing back to life both the legendary singer and the long-dark Ryman stage.
Barnett is the star of the production, ``Always ... Patsy Cline,'' playing at the Ryman through October. Barnett's looks and voice are uncannily similar to the real Cline, who performed at the Ryman back in 1961.
Despite her youth, Barnett has been working on being a Cline clone for years. At age 10, she won a talent contest singing a Cline song, and just two years later she sang ``Crazy'' during an appearance at the Grand Ole Opry.
All that led to the starring role in the two-woman musical, requiring Barnett to sing ``Crazy'' and 20 other Cline songs three nights a week.
The role propelled Barnett into sudden fame. When the show opened in June, people immediately started asking if the actresses were going to sign autographs, recalls Steve Buchanan, general manager of the Ryman. So they now come out following every performance and sign autographs for about 100 waiting fans.
The show tells the story of Cline's friendship with real-life fan Louise Seger, ably performed by actress Tere Myers. Myers handles most of the speaking parts and keeps the story moving in an entertaining fashion between Barnett's enthralling musical numbers.
The production is written and directed by Ted Swindley and premiered in Houston in 1988. Seger was, in fact, a young divorcee living in Houston in 1957 when she heard Cline sing on the ``Arthur Godfrey Show.''
Seger was captivated by Cline's voice. When the singer came to Houston for a performance in 1961, Seger managed to befriend her, and they stayed in touch until Cline's death in 1963. The title of the play is taken from the way Cline signed all her letters to Seger: ``Love always, Patsy Cline.''
* Tickets are $16 and $14 for performances Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights through Oct. 2

In this episode of RAD, Birdman returns to Raccoon City in this Resident Evil squad based shooter that eluded him earlier this year when his Playstation committed suicide. The city has been overrun by the T-virus and the survivors of the city are trying to escape and well…Umbrella can't have that happen at all. The Umbrella operatives are here to cover up as much as they can and even eliminate a certain RPD officer who is causing trouble.
Is this operation a success or should this operation have stayed on paper?

Death Awakens Us From This Nightmare To Show Us The Truth
Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Applied Mathematics
Faculty with this focus
Applied mathematics research in our department spans a broad range of scientific disciplines, and our faculty often work in close collaboration with researchers from other fields. Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that concerns itself with mathematical methods used in science, engineering, business, and industry.
Game Theory & Operations Research
Tom Quint
My primary research interest lies in game theory, specifically the theory of matching games. Matching games are n-player cooperative games, in which players care about the identity of players with whom they are "matched" -- examples include "the marriage game", labor markets, and the modeling of economic markets with indivisible goods. Other interests within game theory are the study of power in legislative bodies and the theory of money. Outside of game theory, I have collaborated on several research papers in graph theory.
Applied Mathematics
Paul Hurtado
I use techniques from the fields of dynamical systems, probability and statistics to develop and analyze mathematical models of real world (often biological) systems. I use those models to address specific questions related to population ecology and evolution, epidemiology (infectious diseases) and immunology. I also use those models as a basis for studying the relationship between process and pattern in a more general context, and sometimes pursue interesting mathematical questions that arise in these applications. When working on specific applications, I use different mathematical tools as the need arises, however I primarily use methods from applied nonlinear dynamics and bifurcation theory, including computational methods.
Eric Olson
I study Navier-Stokes equations, dynamical systems, fractal dimensions and turbulence. Techniques used include functional analysis and large scale numerical simulation. I am currently working on the normal form of the Navier-Stokes equations, the Langrangian averaged Navier-Stokes alpha model of turbulence, numerically determining modes, the Bouligand dimension and the bioremediation of contaminated soil.
Mark Pinsky
My research centers on the modeling, simulation and control of complex nonlinear systems, multiscale computing, integration of asymptotic and numerical techniques, abstraction and reduction techniques for large nonlinear models, modeling and control of bifurcation and chaos phenomena, and robust, impulsive and observation control of nonlinear systems.
Specific current projects include a) Multiscale modeling and simulation of molecule systems, b) Modeling and simulation of flow of magnetized nanoparticles in blood vessels, c) fast algorithms for modeling of atmospheric chemistry phenomena, d) Image tracking and processing algorithms, e) Stability bounds for partially uncertain nonlinear systems, and f) Robust control of bifurcation phenomena.
Deena Schmidt
My research is driven by a desire to understand the roles of stochasticity, structure, and evolution in shaping the dynamics of biological systems. I develop and analyze mathematical models, combining methods from probability and statistics, dynamical systems, and random graph theory to shed light on biological issues while generating new mathematical questions. In particular, I study stochastic processes on networks with applications in neuroscience and stochastic models in genetics.
Currently, I am working on optimal reduction techniques for complex ion channel gating models, which can be represented as a stochastic (Markov) process on a graph. I am also looking at the relative contributions of network structure and node dynamics in determining the collective dynamics of a network, thinking specifically about neuronal networks involved in sleep-wake regulation. Lastly, I am broadly interested in mathematical and statistical applications in population and evolutionary genetics.
Pavel Solin
My research group is developing novel computational methods for challenging multiphysics problems in various areas of engineering and science, including nuclear engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, molecular design (quantum chemistry), climate modeling, and others. We collaborate with numerous researchers from national labs and universities both in the U.S. and in Europe. All our results are freely available online -- check out our flagship open source projects Hermes and FEMHub. Students working in my group have various backgrounds ranging from theoretical physics, mathematics, computer science, to various engineering areas. This is absolutely necessary for successful completion of challenging interdisciplinary projects. Working together with people from other fields and national labs is an excellent experience for our students. We are looking forward to working with outstanding students -- the best way to join our team is by getting active in the projects mentioned above.
Aleksey Telyakovskiy
My research interests include numerical analysis, approximate solution techniques, mathematical modeling, and mechanics of flows through porous media. Some specific applications in these topics are contaminant transport, modeling of underground flows in enhanced oil recovery and saltwater intrusion. In some cases analytical or approximate analytical solutions can be constructed as a result important qualitative information on nature of solutions can be obtained, but in general equations are solved numerically. There are many numerical methods that can be used for analysis, such as, finite differences, mixed finite elements and Eulerian-Lagrangian methods. In modeling of flows through porous media multiple physical phenomena occur that complicate the numerical solution. Here are some of the difficulties: sharp fronts, which traditional upwind numerical schemes do not resolve due to the excessive numerical diffusion; a grid orientation effect; equations may include chemical reactions, consequently nonlinear thermodynamic constraints must be solved taking significant computational time. All these make these problems interesting and challenging.

The bedrock of the district consists of some of the oldest sedimentary rock exposed in the British Isles. 650 million years ago during the Dalradian Period there were two major land masses covering the area now known as Scotland. The mountains and plains of ancient Caledonia were bounded on their southern borders by a shallow sea occupying the area which lies between the Great Glen Fault and the Highland Boundary Fault. This area of sea included Argyll and the Inner Hebridean Islands of Islay, Jura, Scarba and the islands in the Sound of Lorn.
In the absence of vegetation and with great extremes of temperature the rock was rapidly broken down into boulders and stones small enough to be carried away by the fast flowing waters shed from the hills. Particulate material, breaking continuously into finer and finer particles as it travelled, was eventually deposited as silt and mud on the bed of the shallow sea.
Approximately 440 million years ago during the Ordovician period, extensive land movements took place during which great folding of the shallow sea deposits occurred. The concertina effect of this folding created enormous pressure in the layers of mud compressing and heating the deposits until they were converted into slate rock.
Easdale slate is blue-black in colour, bears a ripple on its surface which distinguishes it from other smoother slates from Wales and Cornwall and is identified by the large quantity of iron pyrites it contains. This occurs as cubic crystals of what is often referred to as Fool's Gold. The crystals may be anything up to 15mm across and can be easily seen glistening on the wet slate roofs. They rarely rust and add an extra dimension to the attractive appearance of the slate.
During the folding of the slate beds they were tipped over to an angle of forty five degrees. The dip of the rocks is clearly seen where slate is exposed in the now abandoned quarries and along the shore.
55 million years ago during the Tertiary Period, extensive volcanic activity centred on Mull resulted in the intrusion of dykes and sills of molten lava which forced their way upwards through the existing strata. The Easdale slate beds were at this time crossed in a NW to SE direction by one large dyke and several smaller dykes and sills of Dolerite, a hard basaltic granite known locally as Whinstone. Where the intrusions occur the slate is deformed and there are often veins of quartz and greater concentrations of iron pyrites crystals at the junction of slate and Dolerite. At these sites the slate was not worth cutting out and was left undisturbed.This accounts for the often jagged outlines of rock surfaces produced by weathering and for the uneven cutting of the quarries themselves where buttresses and platforms can be observed to great depths through the water on a calm day. The Whinstone was particularly used as a building material on the island forming many of the cornerstones of the cottages and the industrial buildings.
The early masons were particularly skilful in cutting and shaping this rock. Even using modern cutting and drilling equipment it is a difficult material to work. The builder's worst nightmare is to encounter a whin dyke while digging out the foundations of a house or excavating for a septic tank!

Bedford's Nicole Rightnowar returns the ball.
Enlarge | Buy This Image
Bedford showed plenty of poise and stamina taking on Livonia Stevenson in a Class A state quarterfinal on Tuesday night at Carlson High.
Both were needed in order to survive the marathon nail-biter that concluded with the Mules escaping with a 23-25, 25-19, 25-14, 24-26, 16-14 victory over the Spartans.
PHOTO GALLERY: Bedford girls defeat Livonia
"We just had to believe," Bedford coach Jodi Manore said.
"I think we were the better team, but I think they played better than us."
Bedford (65-9-2) could have easily ended up on the other side of the final score after opening the match with a lackluster start that led to the Spartans (41-14-2) taking the first game.
However, the Mules, who reached the state finals a year ago, wouldn't be denied a return trip to the state semifinals.
Nicole Rightnowar scored the game-winning point in the fifth game with her 12th kill of the match to go along with 28 digs and five blocks.
"We just had to stay tough," Rightnowar said. "We knew we could beat them since we beat them earlier this season.
"But they were still tough to beat."
Bedford head coach Jodi Manore remains calm as her bench reacts to a point.

Bedford will face Bloomfield Hills Marian in a state semifinal on Thursday night at Kellog Arena in Battle Creek.
Kayla Gwozdz led the way with 28 kills and Isabelle Marciniak added 13 kills. Maddie Andres provided 35 digs, and Mackenzie Andrews 38 assists for the Mules.
"I just knew we had to be aggressive the entire time and put balls in play," Gwozdz said of the Mules' mental approach to getting through the match.
Katie Tomasic paced the Spartans with 21 kills while Amanda Hawkins added nine kills.
Carmen Disler provided 25 assists.
The Mules started the contest slowly, and that led to the Spartans taking the first game by a two-point margin.
It was a game the Mules could have easily taken from the Spartans and gained the early edge in the match. The lead changed hands three times in the first game before the Spartans finally finished it off to grab the early momentum.
Dropping the first game seemed to wake up the Mules, who came out in the second showing a greater sense of urgency on the floor.
Bedford scored the first point in and went on to lead from start to finish to take the second game in rather decisive fashion.
The Mules led by as much as five points before taking the game by six points.
Rightnowar, Marciniak, and Gwozdz became more disruptive to the Spartans near the net.
Mules shots were finding their way to openings on the Spartans' half of the court, or they screeched over the net at a speed that was too much for the Spartans to cope with.
Bedford came out clicking in the third game, building an early 10-3 advantage with Samantha Brown serving for seven straight points and never looking back to win by 11 points.
The Spartans appeared to be stunned by the Mules' turnaround after a lackluster start in the first game.
They commenced to make unforced errors they avoided in the first game.
Bedford led the match 2-1 and seemed on course to pull off an impressive recovery by taking three straight games to win the match after losing the first game.
However, the Spartans made it clear in the fourth game they would have a say in the match's outcome.
Livonia Stevenson showed plenty of fight to pull out the game to send the match into a privitol final game.
The Spartans led the fifth by as many as four points before the Mules rallied back and actually had a chance to close out the match when Gwozdz served with Bedford leading 24-23. The Bedford junior's serve didn't clear the net, and the score became locked in a 24-all tie.
"I think my nerves got to me," Gwozdz said of the serving error.
The Spartans scored the next two points with Abigail Whitehead finishing off the game with a kill shot that slammed into the floor right in front of the Mules' bench.
The deciding game went back and fourth with both sides owning the lead at different stretches before Bedford finally broke through to score the final point of the match.

Protests in Libya's capital cause fuel crisis
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — The Libyan government has blamed a fuel crisis in the country's capital on protests that have blocked the roads to the main western oil terminal, leaving gas stations without new supplies.
On Friday, protesters used piles of sand to block all roads to the Zawiya port, demanding early parliamentary and presidential elections, and increased security in the country's restive east. The government condemned the protesters' actions as "unacceptable" and said that oil tankers were in Zawiya port ready to be unloaded.
Zawiya port is the main source of refined gasoline for Tripoli and western Libya. The oil-rich country must export crude oil and import gasoline from abroad.
Such unrest is common in Libya since the 2011 civil war that toppled longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

Meeting was called to order at 5:03 PM
Mid-year report of Rodent Control –TJ Hegarty
TJ reports on the FY13 budget (see attached). The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is 25% ahead of last year. The revenue projections have already been surpassed for FY12. A contract has been entered into with the West Tisbury School, saving the school system $15,000. Les asks where the revenue increase comes from. TJ answers hard work and the private sector, people are learning that the program exists and are using it often. Tristan states Oak Bluffs will get an article for the IPM, he hopes they will vote in the service. Russell adds if a town votes to not use the service the town properties, docks, etc. are not serviced and the town residents are not given a discounted rate.
Martha's Vineyard Animal Shelter (MVAS) – Duncan Ross
Duncan reports the Animal Shelter will change hands from the County January 1 to become the Animal Shelter of Martha's Vineyard, a non-profit corporation with a 501c3, the Shelter will be operating on its own. The Shelter has been run 100% through private donations. Duncan thanks Russell, Martina and Noreen for their continued help during the process. Carlene asks if the County will provide administrative services, Duncan answers no, they will handle everything. Carlene commends the Shelter for their success. Duncan points out Lisa Hayes for her hard work and thanks her for getting the Shelter in the shape it is in. Melinda also commends the Shelter workers and board members for all of their hard work. Russell adds over 350 animals have gone through the Shelter, all getting shots and becoming adoptable.
Duncan, Lisa and David leave the meeting
2. Minutes
Melinda/Carlene moved to approve the Minutes of 11-16-2011. So voted. All in favor
2. Health Council Grant – Rex Jerrell and Marina Lent
Rex announces the Health Council received a $60,000 year Community Transformation Grant, a RFP was put out through the Department of Health; by February 1 they expect to be funded. The County will be the fiscal agent on the grant. The grant has two focuses healthy eating and active living. Carlene asks where how Marina learned of the grant; she said she had been approached to go for the grant. Preliminary programs were submitted along with the grant. Melinda asks what the 20 hour per week employee job duties will entail, Marina answers the person will help implement the program and keeping the State updated on the progress of the program. The interviewing will not begin until the check is in hand. Tristan asks if this is part of the national effort to get children to exercise for sixty minutes per day. Marina and Rex both answer they are not directly related. Russell added the new position that will be housed in the County Administration building for a small fee for administrative services.
Rex and Marina leave the meeting
3. Managers Report
Russell reports the Steamship Authority (SSA) meeting is coming up, he asks the sub-committee to look at the SSA lots, and he would like to start the process. Russell has been contacted by the Trustees of Reservation, a three year contract has expired, they have requested a meeting. Tristan and Carlene are both interested in attending the meeting. Lenny asks what they would like to discuss. Russell answered he is not certain but he believes what may be an issue is access on Chappy's side and their possible desire to change fees. Lenny asks if it needs to be a three year contact, Russell responds no, it had been that in the past but it did not need to three years.
The dredging continues in Sengekontacket, Russell asked if the committee would fill the groins on State Beach, the wooden groins will be filled up to the little bridge, running a pipe under the little bridge and fill the three stone groins, all of the filling will be done at no cost to the County. Edgartown Selectman has approved the work to be done. An annual cost of $10,000 - $15,000 had been spent on moving the sand up and down the beach to keep the groins replenished.
An ad has gone out for the Retirement Board opening, two applicants have responded. The next Retirement Board meeting is in the end of January, the appointment can be done after the term expires. Noreen adds the appointment ends December 31. Tristan asks that the applicants be contacted for the next meeting. Lenny adds the Commission appointments are due.
Melinda/Carlene moved to appoint Lenny Jason to the Martha's Vineyard Commission for the upcoming term. So voted. All in favor.
Carlene asks what the appropriate protocol is regarding the new SSA boat schedule, she would like the SSA to take a look at the shoulder seasons of the boat schedule, and boats are becoming very hard to get during busier times. Tristan spoke with George Balco, the SSA is looking at how to address the preferred reservations, and he would like to see this matter added to the agenda for their next meeting. Carlene adds that the preferred issue has become harder to obtain. Tristan thinks it is best to contact Marc Hanover or to attend the SSA meeting. Lenny would like to have the next SSA held on the island for the members of the community to attend to address some issues and concerns. Tristan states the DCC will contact the SSA to set up and meeting on the island open to the community, this meeting with be advertised in the newspaper. Tristan asks that Russell contact the SSA and schedule the meeting.
4. Old Business
Update of Personnel Committee – Melinda
Melinda reports the Personnel Committee has met to go over the six month goals agreed upon for Russell. The committee agrees some goals have been addressed; they have narrowed down goals they would like to continue being worked on, one thing being the budget, also reaching out to the towns; implementing the memorandums and service programs with the towns, and prioritizing his work schedule. Their recommendation is to continue his contract until his annual review in April.
Carlene/Les moved to extend Russell's contract to April 1, 2012.
Lenny asks when his date is, Carlene asks if the date is the end of review time. Melinda answers, there is some confusion, his original contract with the County after his six month probation was January 1, and his reviews have been done later and later. Carlene asks when his last review was, Melinda answers in April. Noreen asks if anyone has looked at the contract, she does not have any contract before the first one. Melinda answers it is the same contract that keeps rolling over. Noreen states she does not have a signed contract. Tristan asks the two members of the Personnel Board to sign the contract. Russell asks if his contract has been extended three months, Tristan and Melinda answer yes. Tristan states the terms of the contract continue until a new contract has been made, he asks the Personnel Board to continue to work to refine the process.
Carlene refines her motion to extend Russell's employment to April 1, 2012. Les seconds.
Lenny points out that when Russell was hired it was County Manager for life, legislation has since been changed, he asked to have the contract issue better clarified. Russell points out as a contractual employee he does not fall under the personnel by-laws of the County. Noreen adds Lenny's point; she thought based on the Charter Study's findings that the County Manager would be held under the personnel by-laws, Tristan answers all of these items will be addressed through the Personnel sub-committee.
Tristan calls for a vote. All in favor. So voted.
Carlene asks, she has been on the Barrier Beach Task Force, the task force gets a significant grant for State Beach, she has not seen the report to the State and would like a copy of the report that has been submitted to the State. Russell responds he is working on the report currently to the DCR; the $30,000 (annual) grant has been renewed for the next five years. Carlene asks if there is a specific date the report is due, Russell answers he has been sending the DCR report at the end of the year. He has spoken with the Department of Conservation and Recreation within the last two weeks and they are expecting the County to ask for the money.

This is a continuation of my previous travel post from Chateau Copsa. We stayed there about a week ago, and I still dream of this magical place and and its magical sunrises. It's a real delight for the eye to wake up to this view. It's breathtaking! And when you get to look at it on breakfast, you can't find the words to describe it. Especially while enjoying a serving of french toasts, homemade jam and some white cheese.
To fit in the countryside atmosphere, I dressed up in a very casual, laid-back way. A pair of boyfriend jeans, a crochet top, and a straw hat were well complimented by my Daniel Wellington, which I wish had stopped at the time so that we stay in this moment longer.
P.S.: The giveaway we had on Instagram has ended. We used RandomPicker to select the winner who will have 200 leva to spend with my help in Bulgaria Mall. Congratulations to the lucky @victoriailiewa! :)

Dear Researcher Licensee Letter - Obtaining a Controlled Substance License
- Dear Researcher Licensee Letter - Obtaining a Controlled Substance License is also available in Portable Document Format (PDF, 37KB, 4pg.)
August 1, 2008
Dear Class 4 and/or Class 7 Researcher Licensee:
The Department of Health's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement recently redesigned several aspects of the process to obtain a controlled substance license. This redesign will affect researchers holding Class 4 and/or Class 7 controlled substance licenses as detailed below.
Redesigned Application Process
Consistent with past practice, the renewal of a controlled substance license will still require the submission of a License Application to Engage in a Controlled Substance Activity (DOH-4330) to the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement. However, in the fall of 2008, use of a revised application will be implemented. The revised application will more comprehensively document that applicants have satisfied the licensing requirements as outlined in Article 33 of the Public Health Law (PHL) and the Part 80 Rules and Regulations on Controlled Substance in New York State. The Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement will provide applicants with the materials necessary for renewal at least 90 days prior to the expiration date of their license.
Submission Requirements
Applicants for Class 4 and/or Class 7 (individual) researcher licenses will be required to submit the following information as part of their initial and renewal applications:
- The curriculum vitae of the individual responsible for overseeing the controlled substance activity.
- A controlled substance protocol, which includes the nature and objective of the project(s), a listing of controlled substances to be utilized, the quantity of the substances and the Drug Enforcement Administration registration number of both the researcher ordering and the distributor or manufacturer providing the substances.
- If animals are used in the research, the species, number of animals, dose regimen and route of administration of controlled substances must be included.
- If the research involves the dispensing, administration or prescribing of controlled substances to human subjects, the corresponding Institutional Review Board approval must be submitted.
Applicants for Class 4 and/or Class 7 (institutional) researcher licenses will be required to submit the following information as part of their application:
- A description of the system within the institution (e.g., committee) for approving, supervising and evaluating projects.
- The name of each committee member that will approve specific projects and his/her qualifications to serve on the committee.
- A listing of each currently approved and active project involving controlled substances, including the name of the project, names and qualifications of the individuals working on and supervising the project, the controlled substances being utilized, the quantity of the substances and the Drug Enforcement Administration registration number of both the researcher ordering and the distributor or manufacturer providing the substances.
- If the research involves the dispensing and administering of controlled substances to human subjects, the corresponding Institutional Review Board approval must be submitted.
Of particular note to institutional researchers is Section 3326 of the Public Health Law, which requires that upon approval of each project, the institution shall provide specific information related to the project to the Department of Health. A system to allow for the electronic reporting of this information is currently being developed and is expected to be in place by 2009. As planned, each institutional researcher licensee will be required to apply to establish an account through the Department of Health's Health Commerce System for the purpose of electronically reporting specific project information upon approval of each project.
In late 2008, follow-up will be conducted with all Class 4 and Class 7 institutional researcher licensees in an effort to ensure that the project information currently on file with the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement is complete and up-to-date. At that time, the following information relative to each of the institution's approved and active projects will be requested.
|Controlled Substance License #
|DEA Registration #
|Project Name:
|Project Duration:
|Principal Investigator:
|Degree/Professional License (if any)
|Project Supervisor:
|Degree/Professional License (if any)
|IRB # (if applicable):
|Controlled Substances Utilized (list each)
|DEA Registration # of distributor or manufacturer providing controlled substances
Record Keeping and Inventory
Class 4 and Class 7 researchers should be aware of their record keeping and inventory responsibilities. Researchers are required to keep records showing receipt, administration, dispensing or destruction of all controlled substances and maintain the records, as noted below.
Records relating to the receipt of controlled substances must include the date of receipt, name and address of vendor and type and quantity of the drug received. Records of controlled substances used must include the name of the person authorized to control and use the substances, the date, type and quantity of the substances and signature of the user.
In addition to the above, every two years, researchers must prepare an inventory of all controlled substances. This inventory must be retained on file with other controlled substances records and be kept available for inspection for at least five years.
In addition to the project information that will be requested at the end of 2008, Class 4 and Class 7 researchers will also be asked to provide a current inventory of their controlled substances.
The record keeping and inventory requirements noted above are outlined in PHL Section 3329 and Section 80.37 and 80.112.
Reporting of Dispensing Information
In addition to the above, practitioners who dispense controlled substances are required to file with the Department of Health information regarding such dispensing. "Dispense" means to deliver a controlled substance to an ultimate user or research subject by lawful means and includes the packaging, labeling or compounding necessary to prepare the substance for such delivery.
Researchers holding Class 4 and/or Class 7 controlled substance licenses are deemed to be practitioners under Article 33. Researchers who dispense controlled substances to research subjects as part of their protocols (as authorized by their controlled substance license) are required to report such dispensing to the Department. Researchers are not required to report the prescribing or administration of a controlled substance to a research subject.
Through the Department of Health's Health Commerce System, practitioners must also report specific controlled substance dispensing information electronically by the 15th of the month following the month in which the controlled substance was dispensed.
Researchers who dispense controlled substances as part of their research protocols must apply on line at https://commerce.health.state.ny.us/pub/ to establish a Health Commerce System account.
The dispensing information requirements noted above are outlined in PHL Section 3331(6) and 80.71(e).
Drug Destruction
Researchers in possession of controlled substances which are undesired, deteriorated, obsolete or for any reason no longer needed must request from the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement approval for the on-site destruction of the controlled substances. This process requires the submission of a Request for Approval of On-Site Destruction of Controlled Substances (DOH-2340) and Controlled Substance Inventory Form (DOH-166).
Please note that any person holding a Federal registration number who is in possession of a controlled substance listed in any schedule may return that substance to either the distributor from whom he/she obtained it or to the manufacturer of the substance, provided that the appropriate forms are utilized and/or applicable records are kept. A distributor or manufacturer must accept full packages of controlled substances still in their sealed containers, but may choose to accept partial containers, as well.
The drug disposal requirements noted above are outlined in 80.51 and 80.52.
Theft or Loss
Researchers are also under a continuing duty to promptly notify the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement of any theft, loss or possible diversion of controlled substances using the Loss of Controlled Substances Report (DOH-2094).
The theft or loss requirements noted above are outlined in PHL Section 3374 and Part 80.20.
All of the above requirements, as outlined in Article 33 and Part 80, can be viewed on the Department of Health Web site at www.nyhealth.gov/professionals/narcotic/laws_and_regulations.htm.
The Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement is committed to ensuring a smooth transition to this process. In this regard, you are encouraged to contact the Bureau with any questions at 1-866-811-7957 (Option #3).

Tactical consultant John Giduck used a lot of humor in his six-hour two-day keynote presentation at TREXPO West. And that's a good thing because Giduck's presentation is about Islamist terror attacks on children, especially school children. So if his audience of veteran cops and soldiers didn't have some comic relief, they'd probably start crying.

text: !!! UNTESTED METHOD BUT ITS A TWIST ON A TESTED METHOD !!! !revised! This simple method envolves selling premade websites to laser targeted buyers. Should convert VERY well. It is a spin on a similar method I found here on bhw to big credit to the OP for giving me the idea. 1. Find your buyers! Go to big G and or yellowpages and do a local search for any small to medium sized business that you don't blieve would already have a website and would benifit from a website. Examples would be doctors offices, dentists, used car dealers, etc. Use you imagination. 2. Buy the domain name that is an exact match of there business name. You don't have to do this step if your not into taking some risks as it can be considered copyright infringement. 3. Create a website using a free platform like wordpress, magento, joomla, etc. Find some nice free templetes or themes. To cut out the fluff let's just say make the site very appealing to your target using the target appropriate platform and the targets details (business name, description, phone number, etc). 4. Sell the site to your target. The most effecient I believe is to simply mail them a letter (USPS not email) using a plain envelope however you must make sure it gets noticed and not tossed in the trash as junk mail. How? Simple. Put the domain name on the front and back in big bold letters. Example: "www.doctorsofficesite.com I own your business" or "www.autoparts.com I own you". Again you dont have to use this strong arm tactic just be creative in making your junk mail stand out from all the rest. Something like that on the front and back of your envelope will get any business owners attention. They are almost guaranteed to open it. That's when they read your letter with you offering them the sell or your/there website anywhere from $100 to $200 dollars or whatever price you set just price it according to your target. More for doctors and lawyers of course. note: you might not want to use step 2 on a lawyer 5. Go to commission junction and sign up as a hostgator affiliate, and when you have sold the site to your target make sure you provide them with your affiliate link to purchase the hosting plan. You have just earned yourself an additional $100 dollars! Cha ching! Additional optional steps 6. Provide your target with site maintenance and seo services that you can charge them a monthly fee for.. cha ching! 7. Rinse and repeat. If done properly with a nice sales letter clearly explaining benefits and services you could easily get great conversions as long as your target isn't a little corner store that just sells chips and juice. The key is to find the right target and clearly explain all benefits to the target you can also call to pre qualify your targets by asking anyone that answers the phone if they have a website. some companies may not have there sites listed in the yellow pages or the big G. if you happen to catch the owner on the phone when you call then by all means proceed with your sales pitch, but chances are if you calling during business hours they might be too busy and blow you off.

For the inhabitants of East Middlebury, Vt., it was a ''jolting'' exposure to a vexing problem. That, at least, is how one resident describes what happened after Ronald Dayton first found out that one of the underground gas tanks in front of his general store was leaking. Shortly afterwards, some residents noticed an oily smell wafting about. Then came the state Health and Hazardous Waste Department officials, who early this summer detected an underground plume of gasoline seeping away from the station and toward the town's main water supply wells.
''The station had been there for ages,'' recalls Middlebury town planner Fred Dunnington. ''A few years ago, no one ever would have thought anything about a little gasoline getting dumped in the ground.''
Fortunately for East Middlebury, only a small, unused well was affected. But the town's inhabitants seem to have gotten the message. ''We're certainly going to be more sensitive for the potential of this in the future,'' asserts Mr. Dunnington.
Thus, yet another community was rudely introduced to what many are dubbing the ''ground-water decade.'' Once officials were almost exclusively concerned with the more obvious environmental offenses - pollution of the air, lakes, and streams, and most anything else easily seen. Now they are directing much of their attention to contamination of ground water, which slowly courses through underground pores and fissures and provides the United States with nearly half of its drinking water.
''The problem is acute, because 90 percent of the rural population in New England depends solely on ground water for its supply,'' says Michael Deland, administrator for the New England branch of the US Environmental Protection Agency. While the EPA estimates that only about 3 percent of the nation's 15 quadrillion-gallon ground-water supply may be contaminated at levels above officially safe drinking-water standards, much of that is concentrated in areas where dependence on ground water is greatest.
In recent years there have been increasing incidents of contamination to ground water from numerous sources - runoff from landfills, road salt, pesticides, fertilizers, hazardous chemicals, as well as petroleum.
While there is no nationwide or New England-wide monitoring system to determine the magnitude of the problem, the consensus in the environmental community is that it is serious and getting worse. According to one EPA official , there have been ''about 100'' incidents of groundwater contamination, each affecting from one to fifty wells, in New England over the last two years. In Massachusetts alone, says John Terry, director of the state Department of Enviromental Quality Engineering (DEQE), 34 million gallons of groundwater are lost daily to contamination.
''We don't yet know what the exact trends are,'' says Marian Mlay, director the EPA's Office of Groundwater Management, ''but we're hearing about many more incidents.''
Scientists say that once ground water is contaminated, it can be difficult or virtually impossible to repurify it. The ground-water environment is dark, cool, and nearly devoid of biological activity. Because of that, ground water can remain tainted for many decades.
Seven years after Provincetown, Mass., had to shut down its largest well system when 3,000 gallons of gasoline from a local service station's underground tanks inched to within a few hundred feet of the water supply, the town is still importing water from neighboring communities. Hydrologists say some pockets of groundwater there could remain unusable for centuries.
''There has been an 'out of sight, out of mind' attitude toward pollution for so long,'' says Velma Smith of the Environmental Policy Institute (EPI) in Washington, D.C. ''The truth is that there really is no 'away' to throw something. It all goes somewhere, and now we're going to have to start doing something about it.''
Government at the national, state, and local level is grappling with the issue of how to do just that.
At least a dozen bills to help stiffen various existing laws affecting ground-water protection were floated in Congress this year. Last month, the EPA, which administers six federal laws that provide various means of ground-water protection, attempted to tighten up the patchwork by announcing its first ''ground-water protection strategy''.
The EPA's plan includes the introduction of an assortment of federal programs , such as an effort to curb the number of storage tanks leaking petroleum and other chemical compounds. But the strategy would place primary responsibility for safeguarding of drinking water with the states.
For their part, many states are introducing land-use regulations that classify areas for levels of protection depending on how close they lie to major underground water systems. They are also commencing ambitious projects to map the locations of aquifers - underground layers of porous rock that contain water.
In New England, Massachusetts and Connecticut sometimes buy the land above the aquifers.
''The days are ending when we put a landfill over an aquifer,'' says Mr. Terry of the Massachusetts DEQE.
Some experts say landfills are a good example of how well- intentioned efforts to deal with one type of environmental problem can end up spawning others. ''When we focused so much on surface water and air pollution, the ground became more and more the repository for pollution,'' observes the EPI's Miss Smith. ''The sludge that goes into a landfill doesn't just disappear.
Landfills scattered about the country, holding by some estimates as much as 80 percent of the nation's hazardous waste, eventually leak some of their contents. Sooner or later, experts say, much of this will ooze into underground waterways.
There are some 1,400 landfill sites in New England alone. Several methods to shrink their number are in hand, among them the stepping up of recycling efforts to transform waste materials into other products as well as altering industrial processes to reduce the amount of waste being generated.
But until such changes can be made, dump sites continue to pose a hazard to ground-water supplies. ''There are about 500 landfills in Massachusetts, and each one is a ground-water threat,'' says Mr. Terry of the DEQE. Most underground gasoline tanks have an average life expectancy of about 20 years. But nationally, their average age is about 30 years. Federal estimates say that as much as 25 percent of the nation's storage tanks - the contents of which range from gasoline to dry-cleaning fluid - are quietly leaking into the ground.
No one knows how many of the tanks there are in the country, but the number runs into the millions. According to the EPA, one gallon of gasoline can contaminate 750,000 gallons of water to the extent that its presence can be smelled and tasted. Marcel Moreau, a geologist working for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, estimates that more than 30,000 gallons of petroleum enter the environment daily in his state alone.
Large oil corporations such as Exxon and Mobil have embarked on programs to replace the tanks at all their service stations, nationwide.
The EPA is formulating guidelines for the construction of hazardous material storage tanks - something that has never before been done. And while Connecticut and Maine are the only New England state that now have underground storage tank regulations on the books, all the other states are considering various steps to control them.
Even then, the largest part of the problem will remain to be dealt with. ''Legislation just isn't the whole answer,'' insists the EPA's Ms. Mlay. Many incidents of ground-water contamination are caused by the actions of unsuspecting individuals.
''We're not talking about the big multinational corporations here,'' says the EPA's Michael Deland. ''It's ordinary people, the ones who run the mom-and-pop stores and don't know the laws, that are doing some of the damage.''
Ronald Dayton of East Middlebury wasn't aware of Vermont regulations requiring that his abandoned tanks be removed or filled with sand or that he must take daily readings and keep an inventory. Such precautions, state officials say, might have averted such an incident. Recent attention paid to such subjects may be helping to correct the situation somewhat, says geologist Moreau. ''The word is getting out that people should be watching for potential ground-water hazards.''
Maine has embarked on a major effort to alert the population about such once-ignored hazards as leaking underground petroleum tanks. The program apparently has had some success: last year, 25 cases were reported; this year's number has already hit 58.
Some experts think that education about the problem may not be enough. They say the ''ground-water decade'' holds an indication of the type of environmental problem that will arise with increasing frequency: where cause-and-effect is difficult to pinpoint and remedial action yields results with less certainty than it did in the days of ''simple'' environmental problems like air pollution.
''No doubt about it,'' says Michael Deland of the EPA, ''this is the wave of the future in environmental problems.''

ISL 2016: Delhi Dynamos vs Mumbai City FC Prediction, Preview & Squad
It's Matchday 17 of the Hero ISL 2016 and Mumbai City FC again has a chance to equal with the table-toppers North East United if they manage to get all three points. Whereas Delhi Dynamos forced the table toppers to hold a Draw against the Highlanders North East United in their Previous Match. Whereas, Mumbai City FC faced their very first Defeat of the Hero ISL 2016 Season against the Kerela Blasters 1-0 away from home. However, Mumbai now travels to the Capital of India to play the Host Delhi Dynamos at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as on 18 October 2016. Below is complete Delhi Dynamos vs Mumbai City FC prediction, match preview, and squad.
Delhi Dynamos vs Mumbai City FC (ISL 2016)
Date: 18 October 2016.
Venue: Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
Time: 7.00pm IST
Broadcasters: Star Sports (English) Star Gold (Hindi)
Delhi vs Mumbai Match Preview
Delhi Dynamos is 4th in the ISL points table with 5 points and only 3 Matches played so far. However, Gianluca Zambrotta's men have performed exceptionally well in all their three matches so far. All of those attributes will come in handy against a Mumbai City FC side that is enjoying its best start in all ISL seasons.
Delhi themselves will be looking to match their start to the first ISL two years ago by going a fourth match unbeaten, though they would want a win to avoid a repeat of earning just six points from the first four, which eventually cost them a place in the playoffs, finishing behind eventual finalists Atletico de Kolkata and Kerala Blasters by one point.
The 2nd positioned Mumbai City FC looks solid in defence. Their major strength is the counterattacking moments with the likes of pacey players like Sony Norde and Leo Costa. Mumbai City's star performer in the defensive region has been outplayed by Krisztian Vadocz, the central midfielder who was player of the match when they beat NorthEast 1-0 in their first home match at the Mumbai Football Arena in Andheri.
Vadocz spent a brief spell at FC Pune City in 2014 and brings that experience in shoring up the midfield, but he has shown an ability to contribute to attack as well. Forlan can miss a couple of more matches.
Delhi Dynamos
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper: Soram Porei
Defenders: Souvik Chakraborty, Anas Edathodika, Ruben, David Addy
Midfielders: Denson Devadas, Bruno Pelissari Florent Malouda, Marcos Tebar, Keane Lewis
Striker: Badara Badji
Mumbai City FC(4-3-3)
Goalkeeper: Roberto Netto
Defenders: Ashutosh Mehta, Anwar Ali, Gerson Vieira, Aiborlang Khongjee
Midfielders: Pronay Halder, Leo Costa, Krisztián Vadócz
Strikers: Jackichand Singh, Sony Norde, Defederico
Delhi Dynamos vs Mumbai City FC Predictions
The advantage Delhi Dynamos carry is that they have one match less played than the other ISL teams in the Competition currently. Although they need to produce something special if they look to beat this Mumbai side. I Predict a 2-1 Mumbai City FC victory for this Match. Sony Norde and Defederico to score for Mumbai City FC whereas Florent Malouda to score the only Delhi Dynamo goal.

Sesame Place at Langhorne, just 30 minutes north of Philadelphia.
We started off with the Elmo Fish ride... she was a little apprehensive at first but got a hang of it... this is Kaylen's first time at an amusement park (not counting carousel rides @ resorts and shopping centres)..
'Oh boy, oh boy! It's Telly Monster!
Big Bird - obviously.
Tummy tums tums all filled up and ready to go...
Queuing up for a photo opportunity..
With our favourite Cookie Monster 'Om nom nom nom nom'!
At the grocer's.
Check out her balancing act upon entry to the bouncy inflatable!
The happy fall..
Spent but satisfied.
Finally, a family pic!
With Abby Caddaby! Not my most favourite characters but oh yeah, might as well
since she was in our way out.. ;p
Just a quick overview of the place... Doesn't look big but we didn't even get to cover the wet park!
Tiring day indeed.. Kaylen slept all the way back to the hotel and I think I did too... too much excitement for one day.. We headed back to the hotel, had a long bath and went to Chilli's - just a stone's throw away - for dinner. Shortly after we returned to the room - I think just about then, I realised I didn't bring my camera charger, spare camera battery NOR a travel adapter for my iphone. Paul rolls his eyes at me and went out to the convenience store yet again to get the latter since it serves dual purpose of making me contactable & getting the photos taken.
I think times like these - these occasional mental lapses - (which is rare) allows him the chance to be able to rescue the damsel in distress, which of course, makes him pretty happy. LOL *my blog, my opinions - so there!*

The Abridged Version
I'm Kelly M. Rivard. I'm a country-raised 20-something living the urban life in downtown Kansas City. I'm a digital communicator, an advocate for conversations about food and farming, a bleeding heart who volunteers way too much, and a bipolar bulimic working hard to try to lead the most stable and fulfilling life I can. I'm a devoted owner/mother to my longhaired Dachshund Rory Rue. Thanks to a strong faith community here in Kansas City, I have been able to "rediscover" and renew my relationship with God. My faith is important to me. I also have a boyfriend and he's kind of a big deal. We are slowly building a menagerie together because animals are the best.
I try to approach my big unknowns in life as a blank canvas, a blessing, and an opportunity, rather than something to fear.
The Longer-But-Not-Exactly-Complete-Because-It-Would-Take-Too-Long-To-Tell Version
I grew up surrounded by agriculture. My father came from "farming stock" but a series of unfortunate events spanning several decades meant that my family did not farm full-time. My dad did farm parttime alongside my uncle, and we also had small agricultural projects cropping up here and there throughout my childhood. Daddy fostered in all four of his children a love for rural America, the agricultural lifestyle, and an incredibly strong work ethic. My father passed very unexpectedly when I was 12, of a massive heart attack. That ended a lot of my exposure to most things agriculture.
In high school, I rediscovered my love of agriculture, though a socially-awkward, borderline uptight yet still charming young man named Tim (who has often been referred to as Farmboy). I spent many, many hours throughout high school and college pitching in on his family's grain farm. (Occasionally, I took on odd jobs at other farms, too!)
When I was 15, I joined 4-H. My senior year of high school, I accidentally (long story) became the president of my school's FFA chapter in its foundation year. My high school years helped cement the love of the rural life I learned from my father.
I began college in 2008 with a focus in graphic design. I moved to Naperville, IL, an upperclass suburban utopia just beyond Chicago's western edge. Throughout undergrad, I balanced a wide array of extracurricular activities, internships, jobs, a heavy course load, and a very active social life. My freshman year, I discovered Twitter, and also discovered that farmers were using it. For the first time, my interest in communications was intersecting with agriculture. Through my agriculture relationships on Twitter, I got the first of many agricultural communications internships.
Here, I would include a picture of me and some pivotal person I've met via online networking.
The issue with that is the fact that I know too many amazing people because of the Internet.
Late freshman year was also when I found out I was bipolar. Shortly after that, my stress eating turned into binging, which led to purging, which quickly spiraled out of control into full-blown bulimia. While I was certain I was holding myself together fairly well outwardly, my life became a struggle for a while. Sophomore year, I almost dropped out of college. I got addicted to one of my medications for anxiety, and even failed a class that I should have at least gotten a C in. Early in my junior year, Tim decided he couldn't do it anymore. He ended our six-year relationship, not only to save his own sanity but also to encourage me to find mine.
Here, I would include an image relating to the previous paragraph,
but that paragraph is depressing. And there's no way to display
how much wine I drank post-breakup in one single photo.
I continued to struggle, but managed to have life-changing internships in Wisconsin and California. I conquered a lot of fears and faced a lot of demons. I graduated on-time with a 3.45 GPA and an awesome job lined up in Kansas City. Since arriving in Kansas City in July of 2012, I feel I've blossomed. While every day is not good, there is good in every day. I've found so much of myself through my work, my new lifestyles, and my new experiences. My bulimia and bipolar disorder, while never completely gone, have taken on new form, a form which most days I am content with. My career is fulfilling. I've come to find I can thrive both in the country and in the city. I've developed a relationship with God that I am proud of and find comfort in. I really feel like I've found who I want to be, and most importantly I've found that I really can like myself.
Not long after I moved to Kansas City, I met a nice man from the area on Match.com and decided I'd keep him. I almost didn't date him, because he wasn't "my type." But my friend Jodi set me straight on that account. Now we're "going steady" as my mom would say. On this blog, I used to refer to him as Nightwolf — now, however, he's just known as Josh. We go on a lot of adventures together, and our dogs are now best friends. He's even taught me not to be afraid of birds, and I've convinced him to eat vegetables.
So, here I am, a digital communicator that's passionate about the rural/urban crossover, addicted to volunteering, constantly on-the-go while facing some pretty daunting challenges. But hey, that's life. You take the bad with the good, you roll up your sleeves, you do what you must, and you find a reason to smile…no matter what.

The Building Sector Grows as Plans for the Largest Housing Scheme in the North East are Approved
Planning permission has been granted to the biggest North East housing redevelopment on the banks of the Tyne which will create hundreds of jobs in the building construction industry.
The project is part of the government's scheme to build 16, 000 new homes across England to deal with the current shortage of affordable houses as well as to help first time buyers with lower interest rates.
The government has recently argued that making homes more affordable for first time buyers will increase demand in the housing market and will help the building industry to generate more revenue.
The North East housing redevelopment will bring more jobs to the region as more than 1,800 homes will be built over the next 15 years in the Scotswood area of Newcastle.
Key developers and house builders involved in the project include Barratt, Keepmoat and Yuill; they expect to start building work on the first 400 homes this summer. The housing development will comply with Level 4 of the government's Code for Sustainable Homes, which is higher than the currently required standard.
The government has said it will support first time buyers in their efforts to get on the housing ladder easier which will increase housing demand and generate more money in the building construction sector.
First time buyers will get support and funding from the Homes and Communities Agency's FirstBuy scheme, which is part of the Government's wider proposals to boost growth by simultaneously stimulating demand, tackling supply-side barriers and supporting local building priorities.
The New Tyne West Development Company, the private-public partnership formed by the builders and the city council, will be running workshops in coming months to help local firms and builders to bid for work on the development.
Businesses and building companies interested in the bidding process can contact Amanda Senior on 0191 226 7943 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for further information.

When I told my friend I was going to Japan to learn how to be a geisha he laughed so much that the tea he was drinking came out of his nose. When he had finally recovered his composure he observed helpfully: 'You never know, it might help you get a boyfriend.' Which is quite annoying when you think about it, and, even more annoying, quite possibly true.
What is it about geisha? Just the mention of the G-word seems to make men come over all misty-eyed. I concede that my current courtship technique leaves a lot to be desired (broadly speaking it seems to involve picking an argument with someone I like the look of - a recent spat with a handsome librarian over the failings of the Dewey system was a particular low point) but surely it takes more than some white face paint and a winning way with a teapot?
A week later I am on a bullet train slicing south from Tokyo to Kyoto. I'm travelling with a small group of journalists who've been invited to Japan for the premiere of Memoirs of a Geisha directed by Rob Marshall (who won a string of Oscars for Chicago) and starring Ziyi Zhang and Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai). The film is released in the UK on 13 January, and if it's anywhere near as successful as the 1997 novel by Arthur Golden, which sold four million copies in English and was translated into 32 languages (though strangely not Japanese) it will be a box office hit.
Very little of the film was shot on location in Kyoto (rumours are rife that permission was refused because the book was so controversial) and the streets of the geisha district had to be recreated on a ranch in California. Nevertheless, the Japanese tourist office is confident that the lavish and dreamlike portrayal of Kyoto's atmospheric alleyways, bamboo forests, Shinto temples, pagodas and exquisite gardens decked with cherry blossom will inspire people to visit the city.
Unlike Tokyo, which was blanket-bombed during World War II, Kyoto still offers a flavour of old Japan. Beyond the neon glare, the karaoke bars and the concrete shopping malls, you will find countless incense-shrouded temples, shrines and zen gardens. There are five geisha districts, the most famous of which is Gion. Here, the narrow stone-flagged streets are lined with small wooden teahouses, exclusive restaurants and okiya, the traditional boarding houses where the geisha live. By day the streets are quiet and empty but as night falls the paper lanterns outside the teahouses are lit and the sound of music and laughter filters through the bamboo blinds.
The teahouses function like private members' clubs, which only the wealthiest of Japanese can afford to frequent. As a Western visitor it's virtually impossible to break into this secretive twilight world - unless, that is, you hook up with Peter MacIntosh. An ex-professional footballer from Canada, Peter moved to Japan 12 years ago and is now married to a former geisha. He is one of the few westerners to hold accounts at the teahouses and his walking tours of Gion give a fascinating insight into this historic neighbourhood.
He takes us to the school where the maikos, the apprentice geisha, attend classes in dance, shamisen (a three-stringed instrument), calligraphy, flower arranging and tea ceremony.
As Peter talks, I am distracted by something colourful moving into my field of vision. It's a maiko. Dressed in a pink silk kimono, with a chalk-white face, rosebud mouth and butterflies in her hair, she looks like a walking work of art. 'That's Tanejo,' whispers Peter as she clip-clops by in her wooden clogs and white socks. 'She's a cutie. She loves to sing karaoke.'
On spotting us, Tanejo bows primly, then flicks a victory sign and puts her hand to her mouth, giggling. We gaze after her as she shimmies around the corner. I bet she wouldn't tell a librarian the Dewey system was crap.
The rest of the tour takes on the air of a slightly surreal safari (Peter: 'There's one on your left. She looks a little hung-over') as we seek out examples of this exotic and endangered species. In the 19th century there would have been more than 3,000 geisha working in the Gion district alone. Today there are fewer than 250 in all of Kyoto. Peter can tell their place in the geisha pecking order by the way they wear their hair, and even manages to spot the ones who are completely camouflaged. A petite old lady in a raincoat walks past, pulling a shopping trolley. 'She's a geisha,' says Peter. But how can he tell? 'I can spot 'em a mile off. I call it my "geidar".'
Apparently the oldest geisha working in Kyoto is 90. 'The batteries start to go a little flat after 8.30 but the older ones tell the best stories,' says Peter. There is hope for me yet.
We cross a small stone bridge over the Shirakawa stream. It's a beautiful spot, with Japanese maples and weeping cherries in their fiery autumn colours drooping gracefully over the water. At the end of the street is the Yamato hairdressing studio. We watch a young girl having her hair straightened, waxed and coaxed into the elaborate trademark style of the maiko. Dressed in a cream kimono demurely writing thank-you notes, she cuts an incongruous figure in the modern salon, J-lo playing on the radio, and I want to ask what made her choose such an odd lifestyle. 'We have a word in Japanese, akogare, which translates as 'wow factor', says Peter. 'They get to wear $50,000 worth of clothing every day, meet celebrities, eat in the best restaurants and have their picture taken. It's a big ego boost, especially if you are a young girl from the country. You can be a superstar without any talent.'
Hmmm, 'superstar', 'no talent'. I like the sound of that, so I take myself off to Kyoto's Uzumasa film studios for a one-hour 'maiko makeover'. Although this is a working studio (some of the scenes of Memoirs of a Geisha were shot here), it also offers tourists the chance to raid the wardrobe department and live out their Madame Butterfly fantasies. Within half an hour I have been trussed up in a kimono, painted white and pushed out on to the street wearing a wig that makes me look like an extra from Planet of the Apes
Seconds later a crowd of curious Japanese tourists have gathered around me. They talk excitedly among themselves as they snap away. 'What are they saying, Henry?' I ask my companion through pursed lips (teeth are a no-no for geisha as the white make-up makes them look green). 'Um, they are saying you look beautiful,' he says, with less than complete conviction. And, anyway, he's dressed as a samurai warrior with stick-on black sideburns so he's in no position to be objective.
As I mince along in six-inch high wooden flip-flops which are two sizes too small - a terrible parody of the feminine ideal to which I aspire - I suddenly know what it feels like to be a man in drag.
Luckily for me, being a geisha is as much about your conversational skills and mastery of the arts as it is about looking good in a kimono (or did I just make that up?). I decide to compensate for my gauche geisha demeanour by becoming mistress of the tea ceremony. This is one of the most important arts a geisha must master. The tea room at the Hotel Miyako will be the venue for my initiation into the way of the teapot.
I am greeted by the softly spoken Yoko who leads me into a small room. It's bare but for a flower arrangement and a brazier set into the floor where a tea kettle is bubbling away. We kneel and Yoko proceeds to perform the ceremony. It lasts about 10 minutes and involves lots of symbolic cleansing of bowls and spoons, the odd Japanese incantation, strange hand movements and strategic placing of utensils in careful alignment. Yoko's movements are precise and infinitely graceful and it's all very relaxing to watch.
Then it all goes a bit Generation Game as Yoko asks me to try to replicate the ceremony. I forget to symbolically purify my bowl, I pick it up with my left hand (a bit of a faux pas, apparently) and then when I try to whisk my green tea powder it doesn't froth and Yoko has to take over. 'How long did it take you to learn the tea ceremony, Yoko?' I ask. 'Thirty years,' she replies. The fact that she can't possibly be more than 25 somehow makes this even more impressive.
Japan throws up all sorts of niggly questions for the Western traveller. Like how did I ever manage to live without a heated toilet seat? Will I die if I eat raw chicken sashimi? And are geisha the embodiment of an ancient and venerable artistic tradition or a relic of an outmoded sexist hierarchy which promotes female subservience? I put this last question to Peter.
His answer is well rehearsed: 'People ask me, "Why pay $800 to talk to a 17-year-old? Are you some kind of loser?" But people think nothing of paying to go to the ballet or to see a bunch of hooligans running around on a football pitch. Are they losers?'
I decide that I would like to experience an evening in a teahouse. Can Peter fix it? Yes he can, but it will cost about £300 each. I decide I don't want to experience it that much. The chap from the Telegraph does (I suspect they have a more generous expenses allowance than The Observer) and he and Peter arrange to meet up later that evening.
Though geisha are well-versed in the arts of music, dance and conversation, a teahouse party is not as prim as it might sound. For a start, beer, not tea, is likely to be the refreshment of choice, and in Peter's words, 'It can all get very frat house. People play drinking games, get smashed, take off all their clothes and dance around.'
I have a vision of Peter dancing naked and I'm suddenly very glad I didn't pay £300. But, the next day, when I ask the man from the Telegraph about his night, he gets that misty look in his eye and says, yes, it was definitely worth the money, though he can't (or maybe won't) explain why.
I still don't get it - but I suspect that's because it's not meant for me. A tiny world of women it may be, but it's one that exists solely for men. Much is made of the geisha's role as artist but really it's all about making men feel good; allowing them to escape, briefly, into a fantasy world where beautiful young girls laugh at their jokes and don't roll their eyes and look bored when they try to chat them up. I suddenly realise that it would have been wrong for me to go to the teahouse. Because nothing will burst the bubble more quickly than the sight of a real woman sat in the corner with all her insecurities, clumsinesses and opinions, getting not-so-quietly drunk and airing her views on the Dewey system.

When I was back in Asia, I saw how crazy the women over there were in to collagen!! They're showing those stuff every where you go, so I couldnt help to be curious about these products that claims to boost the skin to it best. Although Im very sceptical about all those talks, I still wanna try it, lol. So do let us know more about your experience!
As a Christian, I feel absolutely sickened by the incidents mentioned above where Christians used, or called for, anti-blasphemy laws to silence their opponents. If I can't imagine using such tactics to defend my own religion, I certainly don't want them used against me by those who want to force me to follow theirs.

About 100 people gathered Saturday outside a North Minneapolis duplex to remember the five children who died there in a fire early Friday.
"If we need to be here, I'm glad we're here together," Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said. She called the fire "a tragedy for our entire community."
Fifteen people lived in the duplex at 2818 Colfax Ave. N. Authorities are still investigating what caused the blaze, which broke out around 5 a.m. Friday. All of the fatalities — apparently all children — were in the upstairs unit, where Troy Lewis Jr., 60, lived with his seven young children. Lewis and two of the children, Shaca and Electra, escaped the blaze.
Lewis was in satisfactory condition at the Hennepin County Medical Center on Saturday, HCMC spokeswoman Christine Hill said. Shaca and Electra remained in critical.
At Saturday's vigil, falling snow covered a tableau of stuffed animals and artificial flowers that mourners had left at the home's front steps. Included in the display was a certificate from an elementary school reading program — "Leap Into Reading," a cartoon frog encouraged — that apparently had been given to one of the children who died.

Europe's Missing Identity
There isn't much popular willingness to yield sovereignty to remote institutions predominantly staffed by foreigners.
The current turmoil in Europe, sparked by the Greek debt crisis, has provoked hand-wringing about the future of European integration. But it also contains larger lessons about the limits of international institutions—and vindicates the much-criticized American reluctance to submit to international authorities over the past 20 years.
European integration has always had both an economic and political dimension. Economically, the reduction of trade barriers and the harmonization of regulatory systems would stimulate economic growth....
