Are there any requirements for participation?
You must be at least 13 years old. Members from the United States and other English speaking countries will have the most offers available to them, but members from other countries are welcome as well.
How much can I make?
How much you can make is dependent on a few things such as what country you're from and how much time you're willing to devote to making money. As it is, most members have the opportunity to make more than a thousand dollars!
When do I get paid?
Users who meet our minimum payout (only $20!) have their payments processed by the 20th of the following month So, if you earn $250 in June, you'll get paid in mid-July.
How does the referral program work?
The referral program has two levels. You get paid 20% of what your direct referrals make and 10% of what THEIR referrals make. Members can make hundreds a month just by referring other members to our free program!
What's the best way to get started?
After you sign-up, you'll be presented with a short message on how to complete offers along with a "fast-track", which is a list offers which you should complete right away because they are high paying and take little time to complete.
I referred my friend and it didn't give me credit?
The most common problem we encounter is when a group of people such as a dormitory at a university are on a shared IP and all run the same IP address. Since this is our first line of defense to protect against fraudulent referrals, you may just be out of luck. We have other methods to try and detect these types of referrals as well and if we believe a referral is suspect you will not immediately be given credit for it.

PARAMUS, N.J. — A judge on Monday denied a request from Paramus Catholic High School to throw out a lawsuit filed by a former employee fired because she is in a same-sex marriage, NorthJersey.com reports.
Former Dean Kate Drumgoole, 33 of Bogota, filed a lawsuit against the high school, NorthJersey.com says.
School attorney Christopher Westrick, President James P. Vail and the Archdiocese of Newark on Friday presented their case to throw out the lawsuit before Superior Court Judge Lisa Perez Friscia.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Paramus Catholic alumni expressed outrage in a letter to school administrators .
"We are grateful for everyone's support," Drumgoole and her wife, Jaclyn Vanore, told Daily Voice.
Alumni, on the other hand, are disappointed in their school.
"By your decision, you perpetuate misinformed hate against individuals on the basis of their gender and sexuality," the letter says.
"From your position of power and privilege, you deny lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer students a psychologically safe learning environment."

Law enforcement at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, has prohibited a new synthetic drug called "Pump-It! Powder." A warning issued at the Army installation notes the drug can cause convulsions, paranoia, chest pains or increased heart rate that can cause cardiac arrest.
"There is so much risk with these synthetic drugs. The people who are mixing these substances up are using literally dozens of different chemicals and products," Jay Khalifeh, Director of the Army Substance Abuse Program at the post, told Military Times. "The danger of physical and psychological damage is very great, not to mention the legal aspects and what they can do to a soldier's military career."
The product is marketed as an "enhanced plant vitamin." Officials at the base's drug program say that as with "bath salts" and "Spice," there is no way to tell what chemicals are in "Pump-It!" or what side effects it might cause.
Earlier this year, the U.S. military began a campaign to spread awareness of the dangers of synthetic drugs.

PLATTSBURGH - The Clinton County Advocacy and Resource Center will host a forum in recognition of April as National Autism Awareness Month.
"Autism Spectrum Service: A Panel Discussion" will be held at the West Side Ballroom, 253 New York Road, this Wednesday, April 27.
The forum, said Todd M. Castine, director of clinical services for the center, will give a brief overview of services offered for those with autism and give the audience an opportunity to ask local experts questions about the developmental disorder.
"It's going to be an open forum to honor National Autism Awareness Month, but also create an open discussion with experts in the field of autism," said Castine.
The center has hosted similar forums in the past, though this year's forum will be on "A much larger scale," said Castine.
"This time around we've coordinated with MVP Kids, Nexus, North Country Kids, Parent to Parent and autism awareness folks and we're trying to get other organizations involved too," said Castine.
Questionnaires will be given to those attending the forum in the hopes their feedback can improve help for those with autism locally.
"We're hoping to use the info we get from people to demonstrate to the state we need more funding for services," said Castine.
The April 27 event will be held from 4 to 6 p.m., with the panel discussion slated to begin at 5:15 p.m.
For more information, contact Castine at 563-0930 or email@example.com.

Candidate's Key Issues
Key Issue 1
Open and Honest communication with the community on the true state of the District and what the impact of BOE decisions are on District. For example, the BOE keeps talking about plans and prioritization for bringing back the specials that were lost. It does not talk that even though some are returning next year, there are no plans to bring back more and most likely, based on its own calculations, will have to cut some if not all of these returned specials in the next serval years. Another open secret is the 4 open buildings are all essentially at capacity. The capacity issues means there is essentially little to no ability to open up additional classrooms in these buildings to either lower class size or bring back specials. This could be one factor is the specials that are being brought back next year do not really require opening up classrooms. This is especially important considering the Prairie Hill School deal, one whose net present value is at a significant discount to the previous asking price the BOE was looking for.
Key Issue 2
Improved organizational discipline, planning, organization and accountability in the Administration and BOE. The District is facing many challenges and the approaches it takes to address these are not optimal and resulting in poor outcomes. The Administration needs to begin, at a minimum, begin implementing basic Project or Program Management methodologies. These methodologies will also help the BOE to hold the administration better accountable for results.
Key Issue 3
True Community Engagement. Several years ago when my involvement started, I pushed the BOE for more community involvement. The BOE came out with the Community Engagement Committee (CEC), which is nothing more than a number of community members sitting with the BOE once a month with no expected outcomes or requirements of the BOE to take action. The BOE would be hard pressed to show any real impact or successes of the CEC. Several former CEC members left it because of this lack of accomplishment and the feeling the BOE was not listening to the CEC. The Cary community is full of smart, talented and experienced professionals who are more than willing to get involved in helping the District to address it challenges. The current CEC needs to be replaced with working Community Committees, that will very likely be partnered with members of the Administration and Teachers, tasked with addressing specific issues and to come to the BOE with actionable recommendations. Several areas that could be addressed include, but not limited to: Food Service, Technology, Administrative organization and actions, and Purchasing.
Questions & Answers
What do you think about the shift to the common core standards? How big a role do you think the board of education should play in setting the curriculum for students and what ideas do you have for changes to the current curriculum?
Considering the organization of Illinois school districts, for example with multiple elementary school districts feeding into D-155 and multiple feeding into individual high schools, having a coordinated curriculum in theory is a good thing. The primary responsibility of the BOE is to ensure the education of the students. As this education is done through the curriculum, it is of the utmost importance the BOE ensures the curriculum is meeting the needs of the students and that the Administration is implementing it. Unfortunately it is taking the new Common Core Standards to even coordinate the curriculum in D26, which is not standard across the district. This seemingly haphazard approach raises questions to what the BOE and Administration, especially the Curriculum Committee and Director of Curriculum have been doing.
How satisfied are you that your district is preparing students for the next stage in their lives, whether it be from elementary into high school or high school into college or full-time employment? What changes, if any, do you think need to be made?
I am not satisfied at all with the District preparing of students for their future. We are already seeing declines in test scores. In an increasingly globalized world the fact the district has no foreign language is a disgrace. Let alone the fact the district essentially has no music or art programs, both of which have shown to support math and spacial abilities and hence also the sciences. D26 students are increasingly becoming less prepared for high school, especially compared to their peers from districts not experiencing these reductions.
What budget issues will your district have to confront and what measures do you support to address them? If you believe cuts are necessary, what programs and expenses should be reduced or eliminated? On the income side, do you support any tax increases?
Considering the timing of the next teachers contract and the uncertainty of what actions the State will take, especially on the pension issues, it is too early to have a final judgement if and how much of a tax increase could or should be posed to the community. What I do know, is like any organization of its type, pay and benefits make up the bulk of D26's costs. Before any possible question of a change to the tax rates could or should be explored let alone brought to the community a contract with the teachers and administrators needs to be in place of significant enough length so the District can properly understand its situation. let alone the State determining what it is doing with pensions. Once those are determined and understood, then the districts long term financial needs can be understood. Anything before that is pure speculation.
As contract talks come up with various school employee groups, do you believe the district should ask for concessions from its employees, expect employee costs to stay about the same as they are now or provide increases in pay or benefits?
There has not been a good study to understand how D26 compares. While many districts do post their negotiated contracts online, few if any publish a full lane and step table as D26 does. The D3 & D26 merger study was a lost opportunity when the consultants did a not do an in depth study, and just used the basic published statistics available on the State web sites, with barely an acknowledgment of the differences in the teacher demographics of the two districts but no real descriptions or understanding the distribution of that education and experience, nor endorsement specialties. Due to D26's financial situation, the pressures of decreased and uncertain State support, and the continued increases in healthcare costs above the general inflation rate, it would be hard to see how there could be any increase in pay or benefits. Without understanding comparative pay structures it is hard to say if and how much of concessions could or should be while keeping D26 a competitive district to attract and retain talented educators, while keeping them modivated. That said, I do see and believe there are areas in the contract that can be adjusted that would be minimal to non-existent impact to the teachers but would benefit the district.
If your district had a superintendent or other administrator nearing retirement, would you support a substantial increase in his or her pay to help boost pension benefits? Why or why not?

My Hair, My Decision: Why I Straighten
Yes, it's true that hair is a MAJOR issue for African-American women. To quote interior designer Shelia Bridges, who was featured in Chris Rock's controversial documentary, Good Hair, "The reason hair is so important is because our self-esteem is wrapped up in it." If this is so—if hair is such a big part of us, is it really appropriate to treat our hair choices and textures as members-only clubs?
I am in no way suggesting that we shouldn't celebrate our hair and its versatility. More so, I'm suggesting that no other person has the right to dictate what we do with our own hair, natural or otherwise. The beauty about being a woman is we have an array of options, and that is what we should embrace.
My personal goal is to grow longer hair. Eventually, I'll wear it "out" or in twist-outs, but when I choose. All of the parts of our bodies, even the hair that grows from our heads should cause us to feel loved, not guilty or judged.
So to the women, like my dear friend, who can rock a 'fro and twist-out like no other, the women who flat irons her natural hair every two weeks, the ones who let the relaxer sit until it begins to fizzle on her scalp, and the ones who think the longer the Remy, the better, only you know makes you shine. Whether I agree with your methods or not, it's your hair, not mine. If what we're really practicing and advocating for is freedom from whatever is entrapping us through our hair, let's act as such. Live and let live.

RVs mixed with trucks in the back part of the lot, More truck traffic than most casinos.

Bear River Casino Loleta CA
Paved but moderately angled parking lots – RVs should go to the back as it is a little flatter
Casino typical with lots of slots as well as gaming tables
Hotel and Conference Centre
Restaurant, linen napkin level and a bit pricey, has great view over river valley with ocean in distance
No buffet but excellent prime rib (3 sizes) on Fridays
Security check-in, then take approval notice to Player's Club desk, show ID again, get a Players Club Card and return to Security for a final signature.
This is the sort of system invented by employees concentrating on Security and Marketing aspects of the job, not by anyone with an inkling of good, common sense
Staff generally friendly and helpful if not ebullient
Bear River is a good location from which to set off and explore the rest of the coast. One passes into Oregon after half a day, not that that makes any difference as the roads are equally serpentine and the views just as impressive (once the fog lifts).
Good for a quick overnight
7/28/15. Easy access off the highway. Has good signs showing RVs where to go. The lot has no RV specific spots, its just a typical side lot for extra car parking. Lot is very level. Didn't see any water supply. The casino is quite nice. The machines are state of the art. The only video blackjack is in the bar. Players club card gives $5 of free play with no other perks.

Very Nice!
We stopped for one night and ended up staying two. Nice location for a scenic drive. We registered with security and signed up for Player Passes. Not only did they give us $10 each, since it was husband's birthday month, they gave him an extra $50 to be played over three days.

Paul Ince is being sensationally linked with the manager's job at Wigan Athletic.
The Mirror says Ince has made a stunning start as a boss and is currently riding high at the top of League Two with MK Dons after dramatically saving Macclesfield from the drop last season.
Whelan is believed to be in favour a rising star of management rather than an old hand - although ex-Everton boss Joe Royle is still being considered.

SCIE press release
National Care Home Open Day
21 June 2013
Over 2,000 care homes are opening their doors today. National Care Home Open Day aims to show that care homes can be inspiring places, full of unique, intelligent and charming characters, and run by people that really do care. SCIE says that residents in care homes should have opportunities to contribute to their local communities.
National Care Home Open Day is a great opportunity to highlight the excellent examples of good care we know exist. It follows recent media exposure of the very opposite; bad care. Although we must all learn from these incidents and constantly improve what we do for people who use services and their families, today offers the chance for many people across the country to see a different side of things; and find out what is going on in their local care home.
I am looking forward to visiting the Glebe Care Home in Belfast and three other SCIE colleagues are also visiting care homes in England and Wales. We will be enjoying a range of activities - international skypeing, cake-making, dancing, karaoke and tours of homes.
I wish everyone taking part good luck and hope everyone visiting is inspired to come back another day!
- Care homes need to open up to their local communities – SCIE's Chair, Lord Bichard
- SCIE's Chief Executive, Andrea Sutcliffe, who tweets as @crouchendtiger7

Body Parts in French
I hope you don't need to use it, but you'll also learn how to say I'm sick in French – just in case!
Just as everything else in French, body parts are either feminine or masculine, which affects how you would describe them! Look at the following gender clues in both singular and plural forms:
Talking about body parts in French
When a word begins with "Le", it means it falls into the masculine group of words, and when it begins with "La", it's feminine. Also, if the word is a plural then it begins with "Les", no matter whether it is referring to a male or female gender word.
When describing physical pain, its useful to know a few expressions that might get you some help when you need it!

Our professional MLB handicapper provides a betting preview on today's Dodgers and Cardinals game. Go inside to read this highly informative article culminated with a MLB pick.
The Dodgers and Cardinals will partake in the second of a three game weekend series on Saturday. The opening pitch from Busch Stadium in St. Louis is slated for 7:15 PM ET. Current MLB betting odds at Matchbook has the Dodgers as a -124 money line favorite, and the listed total is 8.0.
These teams have gone 8-1 under the total during nine games played against one another at St. Louis since 2014, and the Cardinals won seven of those meetings. They're coming off a marathon 16-inning affair last night won by St. Louis 4-3. Each club's bullpen was severely taxed as a result. Dodgers relievers logged 9.0 innings of work, and the St. Louis bullpen required 10.0 innings.
Starting Pitchers
Kent Maeda will make his first career start against St. Louis in Saturday. It's been a bumpy road for Maeda over his previous three starts marked by two less than desirable outings, and it's reflected by his lofty 5.87 ERA over that time period. It's also worth noting, Maeda hasn't made it beyond 7.0 innings in any of his 19 starts this season, completed 7.0 innings of work just once, and that lone accomplishment occurred way back on 4/17. Considering the Dodgers bullpen will be in need of some rest today, they'll look to stretch out Maeda's outing, and it can potentially leave their rookie hurler vulnerable.
Mike Leake has been brilliant in his last two starts, compiling an excellent 1.38 ERA, and struck out 21 while walking none. Leake has made three starts against the Dodgers since 2015, and collected an imposing 1.23 ERA.
Final Thoughts and Pick
These is a rare three cent money line today. Despite the Dodgers being at -124, St. Louis is listed at +121. Los Angeles has gone a miserable 8-20 (.286) this year when their -125 to +125 on the money line.
I've already touched upon the Cardinals coming out on top 4-3 last night. Since 2015, St. Louis is a stellar 29-10 (.744) at home following a win by 2 runs or less. The Dodgers Kent Maeda enters today with a more than respectable 3.25 ERA in 19 starts this year. Nevertheless, St. Louis is a very profitable 38-19 (.667) since 2015 when facing a National League starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.50 or less.
St. Louis had a depressing first half of the season at home. Nonetheless, they've reeled off 5 wins in a row on this current home stand. I'll have a small lean on the home underdog in this game for one of my Saturday MLB picks,.
Free MLB Pick: Cardinals +121

If you live in a busy urban area and spend your time engulfed in crowds of people on the street, or bumping into the masses on the subway, it's probably not a terrible idea to be a little extra cautious with your wallet. You never know when your pockets might get picked. But there's cautious, and then there's downright paranoid, which I think can be said of anyone who drops $825 on this biometrically protected wallet from Dunhill.
The wallet can only be opened by swiping your fingerprint, so while would-be thieves might be able to get their hands on it, they won't be able to open it. And attempts to crack it open will be mostly thwarted by its sleek carbon fiber outer shell. I mean it's not completely indestructible, but it should be frustrating enough to deter most people. The Biometric Wallet can even let you know if it's been taken or forgotten thanks to a Bluetooth link to your phone which sounds an alarm if the two are more than 5 meters apart. On the inside you'll find a real leather finish with a stainless steel money clip, but I'd expect nothing less when they're asking almost $1,000 for it.

Oldman sad about online movie streaming
The Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy star is dad to two boys and Oldman has witnessed one of the youngsters logging on to the web on his cell phone to stream a blockbuster - and he's less than impressed with the boom in home viewing.
He tells Total Film magazine, "Technology has changed, that's for sure. My kids, one of my boys anyway, can watch a whole movie on an iPhone. Now to me, that is a mortal sin! How could you do that?
"He doesn't know any better though. He's 12. He's of that generation where that's the norm and it's not unusual for him to do that. But I find it shocking. I think that's sad."
Oldman isn't the only one complaining about viewers streaming films instead of heading to the cinema - director David Lynch and actor Nicolas Cage have also spoken out against the practice in recent weeks.

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - Even though the US Supreme Court has voted 7-2 to block Arizona's voter ID law, it will be business as usual for the state.
Secretary of State Ken Bennett told all 15 county recorders to reject any state voter registration form that does not contain proof of citizenship.
That's the part of the law the nation's high court ruled invalid.
The ruling says the state cannot require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
The high court gave the state some wriggle room saying the state has remedies it can pursue but whether that will prove fruitful is unclear.
The Supreme Court also says state's can determine "who is qualified to vote in elections," says House Speaker Andy Tobin.
Whether that means the state can determine who can vote in federal elections is still unclear.
In the meantime, the state will continue to use the same registration form it's presently using.
However, if a person fills out a federal registration form, it cannot be rejected.
The case was brought on behalf of people living on the reservations who don't have birth records, elderly people who may have misplaced or lost records and people born at home who have no hospital record.
Under state law those people can be denied the right to vote.
The ruling does not affect the requirement that people show identification when voting at the polls. That still stands.
But the section of the state form which requires proof of citizenship has been ruled invalid.
"It's a narrow group of people but those can be very sizeable when you look at the South and Southwest," says Jeff Rogers former chair of Pima County's Democratic Party. "We've had a lot of close elections and it doesn't take a lot of people to change an election result sometimes."

The words changed from Monday to Tuesday, but they provided the same indication Joe Girardi is at least thinking about a lineup change for tonight's pivotal ALDS Game 3 against the Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
And because Alex Rodriguez is 1-for-9 with five strikeouts in the first two games, the focus, as usual, is on him.
Will Girardi lift him out of the third spot against right-hander Miguel Gonzalez? If he does, how far does the Yankees manager drop Rodriguez? Fourth? Fifth? Sixth? Seventh?
How about Joe Torre's spot for Rodriguez in 2006, eighth? Or ninth? Could Girardi look at Eric Chavez' 3-for-6 off Gonzalez and bench Rodriguez?
Of course, Girardi only can make one move. And seventh, eighth, ninth and the bench aren't in play.
Asked, after Monday night's 3-2 loss in Game 2 that evened the best-of-five series at 1-1, about Rodriguez remaining in the third spot after striking out in the seventh that stalled a rally and fanning for the final out of the game with Robinson Cano on deck, Girardi left the door open.
"Right now I don't have any plans of changing the lineup," Girardi said. "Right now I don't have any plans to make changes."
Yesterday on a conference call, Girardi donned tap shoes when asked specifically about Rodriguez.
"I think that we're going to do whatever it takes to win this three-game series. Nothing that we do will be something that is just a knee-jerk reaction," Girardi said. "We talk about different things, and whether it's a pitching change or pitching situations, we know the great thing about this is, I have a great group of guys that's very unselfish, and they really want to win. And that's what we're going to do, what we think is best to win."
As for making any lineup changes, Girardi hinted some could be coming but didn't offer anything more.
"I haven't done anything yet," Girardi said. "Obviously there's a lot of thought process that goes into the whole series and into every move that we possibly might make down the road, but I haven't done anything yet."
The key word there was "yet," which followed "not right now." Which often means change is in the air.
In Game 1 Rodriguez batted third against right-hander Jason Hammel, Cano fourth, Nick Swisher fifth and Mark Teixeira sixth.
Rodriguez remained third against lefty Wei-Yin Chen in Game 2 and was followed by Cano, Swisher and Teixeira.
Girardi talks a lot about separating right-handed hitters and left-handed hitters so the opposing manager can't match up late in the game.
Rodriguez batting third gives him the best balance. But is it the best lineup? Rodriguez smoked a low liner in the first inning Monday night that second baseman Robert Andino turned into a double play. Had the ball gotten by Andino, it was a two-run double. Rodriguez also singled in the third. Then came the two whiffs that carry a lot more weight with those who blame Rodriguez for all the Yankees' problems.
What little data Girardi has to go on against Gonzalez isn't much. Nor is it good. Rodriguez doesn't have an at-bat against him. Cano (0-for-6), Granderson (0-for-6), Swisher (0-for-6) and Teixeira (0-for-3) are a combined 0-for-21 against the right-hander.
Monday night Girardi could have stopped the talk about Rodriguez vacating the No. 3 spot and didn't. Yesterday, a second chance surfaced and the manager chose to leave it open.
Late this afternoon Girardi must show his cards and stick with Rodriguez between Ichiro Suzuki and Cano or find another parking spot in the lineup that went 2-for-8 in the clutch Monday night and left 10 runners for Rodriguez.
No more "not right nows" or "yets."

Problems with software demos
On many parts of the heinemann.co.uk website you will find resources to download. These may be free resources to use alongside the products you've bought from us, they may be patches for software, or they may be paid-for PDF resources, usually extra units from a core title.
Files available for download are displayed by filename and size, along with a logo to show what type of file they are.
Depending on your computer and operating system, there are two common ways to download a file.
These are the most commonly used file types used on this website:
PDF: Portable Document Format.
This is the most common file type found on our website. To open these files, all you need is the free PDF reader from Adobe Acrobat. Visit their website and follow their instructions on how to install.
File extension: .pdf
If the file fails to open, the most common solution is to upgrade your copy of Acrobat Reader. If you are prompted for a password, then the file you have downloaded is a protected resource that belongs to a specific book title. You will need the password from the relevant book to open the file.
Word file.
This document can be opened in Microsoft Word, which is a common word processing programme supplied with many computers.
File extension: .doc
If you have problems opening a Word file, the most common reason is that your version of Word is older than the version used to create the file. You might need to update your version in order to view the file.
Zip archive.
To open a zip archive, you'll need an up-to-date version of WinZip, which is freely available from the winzip website. Zip files can be password protected: if you are prompted for one when opening the file, refer to the book you found the link in. File extension: .zip Other file types: An executable file.
Double-click to open. File extension: .exe A database file.
You'll need Microsoft Access or another database programme for this to work. File extension: .mdb Powerpoint presentation.
This is another Microsoft file.
File extension: .ppt Text document.
This file can be opened by nearly every computer, and contains plain text.
File extension: .txt Excel spreadsheet.
You will need a up-to-date copy of Microsoft Excel to open these.
File extension: .xls Flash file.
You will need the Flash player, freely available from the Adobe website. If you are having problems viewing a flash file, the most common problem is that you have an old version of the player. Simply visit the website to download the latest version.
File extension: .swf
Image file.Many different programmes can open this type of document. File extensions: .gif, .jpg, .tiff, .bmp
Having problems downloading files?
The most common reason is that you do not have the correct programme installed to read the downloaded file. Read the "different file types" section to find out what the appropriate programme is. If you do have the correct programme installed, make sure that it is updated to the most recent version of the software. For instance, Acrobat Reader 5 may not be able to open files created in Acrobat 6.
NETSCAPE USERS: If the filename of the PDF contains spaces (E.g."http://www.heinemann.co.uk/resources/maths resources.pdf") then netscape may have problems locating the file. You can try fixing this by putting in "%20" in place of any spaces, like so: "http://www.heinemann.co.uk/resources/maths%20resources.pdf". We apologize for this and are working on renaming our files so this stops being a problem.

Yesterday was Abe's 33rd birthday!!! We are the same age for the next six months. I am so happy he was born. Actually, that's the understatement of the year. I am THRILLED he was born and feel lucky every day to be his wife. He is kind, hard-working, joyful, creative, intelligent, spiritual, wise, loyal to a fault, and funny. We were all so excited to celebrate his existence yesterday.
We had a fun breakfast at home. It helped that I have insomnia. I got up at 5am and made a soufflé, chocolate waffles and parfaits. I wanted to bring it to him in bed, but Abe has been getting up insanely early to read scriptures and work out, and so he was up before I could carry out my plan. Darn. But we all ate together and he opened presents. I think it was a good start to the day.
For lunch we all went out to sushi, after which we went shopping at Nordstrom Rack for shoes. My mom got Abe shoes for his birthday, and he had fun picking them out.
Then we dropped the girls off at a party, and Abe came home and fulfilled his daydream of knocking out almost all seventeen items on his to-do list. It was his literal dream come true. I was in bed that whole time fulfilling my daily dream come true: Sleeping.
For dinner we drove to meet Abe's parents and the VandeGriffs in Lehi at Aubergine. Abe had a great time, and then we all came home and went to bed. I am afraid I collapsed and did not wake up for ten hours. I hope and pray Abe enjoyed his birthday. He claims he did!
Also, before the pictures, one cute anecdote from this morning. Abe reprimanded Lydia after she disobeyed my (angry, irrational, much-too-loudly-given) orders. Afterward he asked Lydia if she knew why he was disappointed in her. Lydia replied, "Yes. It's because you like Mom so much." [Insert laughing-crying emoticon here.]

What is MRSA? The technical name is Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. What we want to do is become aware of why it is dangerous, what is not working to kill it, and how it can be killed naturally.
What this name means is a strain of the Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria that has become resistant to the antibiotic Methicillin. This is an understatement. Several antibiotics have lost their ability to kill this bug. A few antibiotics such as Bactrim and vancomycin can kill MRSA, at least until it mutates into a resistant form. This bacteria is serious. It can infect bones and other deep tissues to the point of causing death. According to the Center for Disease Control, the number of deaths from MRSA was 17,260 in 2005. Pictures of the sores caused by this stuff are not for the faint-of-heart. Some say it is flesh eating. If you are a sufferer you are most likely feeling pretty panicky about it. Dr. Oz believed it serious enough to report on the Oprah show back in 2009. Even if you are not a sufferer, you may be a carrier it has been estimated that up to 30% of the population have MRSA on their skin or in their nasal passages but remain uninfected. It does not infect everyone.
Why does it not affect everyone who comes into to contact with the bacteria? Not all immune systems function equally and not all bodies have a healthy colonization of microbes. These may seem like far-out ideas to some, but even Louis Pasteur stated that the terrain of the body is more important than the germ in disease. This leads us to our next topic: How would a vitalist treat MRSA naturally?
Because not all people have optimal immune systems and because not all people have optimal colonization of microbes living on their bodies we have clues about treatment. As a natural healer, I have been educated to understand that we must use everything at our disposal to overcome disease, including: nutrition, lifestyle, and herbal aids. Nutrition means, for me, the Mucusless diet. This includes fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and grains with a little fish and fowl thrown in during the week. No dairy, one gallon of distilled water, and no processed flour or sugar products are other important facets of this regimen. A raw food diet would definitely be acceptable in this framework as long as the dairy and water rules are followed. If the foods are heated it should be low heat – 212 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Low heated or raw foods contain the enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional factors that our bodies need. Excessive heat will ruin the food nutritionally. Good lifestyle is also vital. This means adequate rest and exercise with some doses of fresh air and sunshine thrown in. Also vital is good hygiene. This simply means to keep clean and wash hands frequently. These procedures are vital to protect those of us whose immune systems are not up to par.
Garlic is a super antibiotic for this infection. Recently, I was working with a relative to fight this horrendous infection. In this case the disfiguring skin lesions were just heart-breaking. My relative never really felt well for months. After being treated unsuccessfully with antibiotics she finally asked for my help. What a mess! She had an immune system that was functioning poorly, bad nutritional habits, and stressful lifestyle against her. We did address all of these factors but still had a raging systemic MRSA infection with which to deal. It came down to garlic: 4 cloves taken four times daily. Pungent! I tried this and could not keep it down. A friend gave me her formula: mash 2 bananas, 2 TBSP of raw mayo (homemade), and 4 – 6 cloves of minced garlic together and take it. Something in this recipe made it possible for the garlic to be tolerated by the stoma
I warn you: this remedy must be accompanied by the nutrition and lifestyle regimens or it may not work. We must be as aggressive as the disease or the disease will win.

Fishermen, unable to work, consider cleaning up the oil slick
Latest update : 2010-05-03
Commercial fishermen, unable to continue with their work, are now considering working on clean-up operations organized by the BP. Our correspondents talked to some of them.With shrimping grounds closed, many commercial fishermen, unable to continue their work, are considering working on clean-up operations organized by BP after an explosion at one of its wells threatened the Gulf Coast with an oil slick. The oil company is willing to pay 1,200 dollars a day to local fisherman for their boats and local knowledge. The work will consist in laying down protective booms that will help control the spill and save the environment. Herman Demoll and his son, members of a four-generation commercial fishing family, are thinking of joining the operations. "We are ready to get to work," says Herman Jr. "We don't make money sitting at home, we need to be on the water." But his father has reservations. "I want to talk more about it to see what's going to happen with the oil spill and how they are going to pay us," said Herman Sr. He added that he wants to make sure he can take part in a lawsuit against the company, should he decide to, after working for the oil company. Refineries dot the landscape in the area. The oil business has been around for a long time, and no one here seems to think it should go away. "I don"t think there should be a conflict, because this is part of the culture too," said the younger Demoll. In 2005, the strength of the oil industry brought people back to the area after hurricane Katrina had devastated the fragile peninsula. Today, no matter how bad the slick becomes in the coming days, people are resigned to stay.

When a bank makes a loan, it expects to get back its money with interest.
As many banks report their second-quarter earnings this week, it's becoming clear that an increasing number are not getting interest or principal on some of their loans. In bankers' terminology, they are stuck with ''problem loans,'' or ''nonperforming loans.'' The borrower just doesn't have the cash flow to meet payments.
If a bank gets too many nonperforming loans, it can find itself faced with the prospect of shutting its doors. This is what happened with the recent failure of Penn Square Bank in Oklahoma City, which suddenly found loans it made to energy concerns turning sour.
And this year an increasing number of banks have found themselves on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's so-called ''watch list,'' where they are followed closely. The FDIC, an independent government agency, insures depositors' funds up to $100,000. Thus it has an active interest in the financial state of the banking industry.
According to the FDIC, 269 banks are being monitored by the corporation. This compares with 223 banks at the end of last year. And up until then, the number of banks on the list was declining. The present count is still below the 385 banks that made the list in 1976, however. According to an official of the Federal Reserve Board, bankers typically expect more problem loans to crop up after a recession is over, as demand for credit begins to heat up again. This was so in 1976, the official says.
Even though problem loans are increasing, officials at both the Fed and the FDIC agree that the banking system as a whole remains sound. One official at the Federal Reserve Board says that ''in 1974-75 there were all kinds of scare stories of big banks on the problem list. We're not yet at the level of loan losses of '74-75 although I think we probably will still see some more fallout.''
And at the FDIC an official comments, ''I think the banking system is in reasonably good shape, considering how high interest rates are.''
Ed Bogota, an analyst at Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., says he doesn't believe banks will write off as many loans as they did during the 1974-75 downturn. ''Their bad loans may not even be 50 percent as high as the last cycle,'' he comments.
In 1974-75 banks were particularly hard hit by losses in the real estate investment trust area and by the bankruptcy of W. T. Grant, a major retailer. This year, Mr. Bogota notes, banks have experienced loan problems with an assortment of companies, such as Braniff International Corporation; Dreco Energy Services Ltd., an oil drilling company; and Wickes Companies, a retailer. Real estate on the West Coast has been a problem and this year some energy loans have started to sour. Altogether, however, he says, ''there is no industry producing bad credits like there was in 1975-76.''
Still, there are some people voicing concern. The Bank Credit Analyst, a Montreal-based publication with a wide following in the US investment community, noted in its July report that corporate borrowing had hit a peak 35 percent higher than any other cyclical peak. This borrowing, it noted, ''gives cause for major concern, as it is a measure of the serious degree of distress borrowing now under way.''
Furthermore, the publication warned, ''. . . given the overextended nature of debt burdens and illiquidity, a financial panic and/or sustained erosion of corporate profits and equity cannot necessarily be avoided.'' Thus, the Bank Credit Analyst warns its business clients to be extremely cautious.
As problem loans swell in a bank's portfolio, the risk of failure increases. So far this year, the FDIC says 22 commercial and thrift banks have closed their doors.
Naturally, not all the problems were caused by bad loans. In some instances, such as with some of the thrifts, problems have cropped up because institutions have fixed interest rate loans on the books during a time of rising interest costs.
In the case of commercial banks, however, problems most often crop up when customers are unable to make payments on their loans. According to an official at the Fed, once a bank gets more than 6 percent of its outstanding loans on a ''past due'' basis, it attracts regulators' attention. Currently, he says, the types of banks the Fed is monitoring are smaller ones as well as some regional ones.
Major money center banks - because of their ability to diversify their loan portfolio - are in better shape. Citicorp, in its 1981 annual report, says it expects its percentage of loan losses on average loans to be about 0.25 percent.
Once a customer falls behind on paying off a loan and the bank decides to categorize it as a ''nonperforming'' type of loan, it goes to what is called a ''workout'' desk.
Lawrence Glenn, Citicorp senior vice-president and chairman of the bank's credit policy committee, says the bank encourages its line professionals or loan officers to spot problem loans as soon as possible. He estimates that 80 to 90 percent of the bank's problem loans are spotted by the line managers and not controllers constantly auditing the bank's loans. Once the bank determines that a customer is either heading toward bankruptcy or debt restructuring, it brings in what it terms its institutional recovery management team, which is skilled in dealing with bankruptcies and corporate restructuring.
Of the loans that go to the workout desk, he estimates that 55 to 60 percent only require ''a little extra attention.'' Of that group, some 90 percent are eventually taken off the workout desk and put back on the books as performing loans. He says only 40 percent of the loans ''are what you would call serious problems,'' and only 10 percent eventually mean some kind of loss for the bank. In fact, even after the bank has written off a loan, Mr. Glenn says, it still gets back 30 cents on the dollar from the borrower.

Stomach Cramps When Eating Berries
Whether you like raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, goji berries or boysenberries, they're all a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Berries also have the highest per-serving content of antioxidants -- chemicals that fight cell-damaging free radicals -- than any other food, according to Dr. Michael Greger on NutritionFacts.org. As healthy as they are, however, berries can cause stomach cramps for some people for several reasons, from fiber overload to allergies.
Video of the Day
Fiber Overload
Berries are one of the richest fruit sources of dietary fiber, or roughage -- the indigestible parts of plant foods that can help improve digestion. One cup of raspberries contains 8 grams of fiber, and 1 cup of blackberries contains just slightly less. If you gobble up a cup -- or more -- of berries at one time, and you're not used to eating all that fiber at once, you may experience digestive upset in the form of stomach cramps.
Allergies to Berries
People can have allergies to any type of food, including berries. An allergy is a reaction from your immune system to a substance it considers a threat. Symptoms of an allergy can range from itchy and swollen lips, tongue and throat to abdominal pain to trouble breathing. In a study published in the "Journal of Investigational Allergology & Clinical Immunology" in 2012, researchers tested 30 plant-food allergenic people for allergies to goji berries and found that 77 percent tested positive. The researchers concluded this was due to cross-reactivity with a protein found in other plant foods. You may be more likely to have an allergy to berries if you are allergic to certain other foods. For example, in a study published in "Allergy and Asthma Proceedings" in 2006, 33 percent of participants who were allergic to grapes had a co-sensitivity to strawberries.
Salicylate Sensitivity
An intolerance to a substance in berries called salicylate may be to blame for your stomach cramps. Salicylates are a type of natural pesticide in many plant foods to which people have varying sensitivities. Some people may have no sensitivity, while others can experience stomach discomfort gas and diarrhea. Other symptoms may include headaches, rashes, irritability, anxiety and depression. Your symptoms may be worse if you eat a larger portion of berries.
Fructose Malabsorption or Intolerance
Fructose is the sugar naturally found in fruits, including berries. Some people have difficulty absorbing fructose and experience digestive problems, including abdominal pain and diarrhea, when they eat fruit. Some fruits are higher in fructose and more likely cause problems. Also, the ratio of fructose to another sugar found in fruits called glucose plays a role; glucose aids the absorption of fructose, so symptoms are less likely to occur. Cranberries are low in fructose, while mulberries, raspberries and strawberries are moderate in fructose. Blackberries are high in fructose but have a good fructose-to-sucrose ratio. Blueberries and canned berries in syrup are very high in fructose, but they're also high in glucose, so they may or may not cause digestive problems.
Steps to Take
You should always consult with your doctor about stomach cramps that occur regularly after eating specific foods. Introduce high-fiber foods to your diet slowly if you've previously been eating a low-fiber diet to prevent stomach cramps. If you're diagnosed with an allergy, you will need to avoid the food because symptoms can vary and worsen with subsequent episodes. If your problem is due to a food intolerance, you might be able to eat small amounts of the food without a problem. Because food intolerances aren't life-threatening like allergies, you can experiment to see how much you can safely eat.

The Ekiert lab uses structure-driven approaches to understand how pathogens establish infection and persist in the host, with the ultimate goal of applying our new insights to the development of the next generation of treatments for infectious disease. Powerful new methods in structural biology [including X-ray crystallography and cryo electron microscopy (cryo EM)] have accelerated our ability to determine the structures of membrane proteins and large macromolecular assemblies, leading to mechanistic understanding and to new hypotheses that we can test in cell-based models of infection. We are particularly interested in pathogens that present ongoing challenges to global public health, such as tuberculosis and malaria. In addition, we are also interested in understudied or orphan pathogens, particularly those with complex invasion machinery, unique cell biology, or an unusual infectious lifestyle.
Our work on mechanisms of virulence in M. tuberculosis has led us to begin exploring the inner workings of a novel lipid transport system called MCE that is essential for disease progression in mouse models of infection. Remarkably, this system is conserved among all double-membraned bacteria, as well as some double-membraned eukaryotic organelles, underscoring its fundamental role in outer membrane function, yet its precise function is not well understood. Our recent structural work on MCE transporters from E. coli has yielded important new insights into how these large multi-protein complexes transport lipids between membranes. However, we still understand very little about the molecular function of MCE transporters, how they are involved in outer membrane biology, and how they impact replication and disease in pathogenic bacteria. We are actively exploring these areas using a variety of molecular and genetic approaches.
Pathogens have evolved a wide-range of mechanisms to gain entry into host cells and tissues, and this is a second major area of our research. A group of pathogenic eukaryotes called microsporidia are known to infect nearly all metazoans, including humans. In healthy adults, infections are generally not life-threatening, but can be severe and sometimes lethal in children and immunocompromised individuals. Microsporidia possess a remarkable, harpoon-like invasion apparatus called the polar tube, which mediates attachment and entry into host cells. This apparatus is coiled inside the cytoplasm of infectious spores like a spring, but can be rapidly ejected in a fraction of a second to puncture or distort the plasma membrane of a target cell. The ejected polar tube, which is only ~0.5 um in diameter but up to 100 um in length, mediates the transfer of the infectious sporoplasm from the spore into the host cell, where replication takes place. While clearly a unique and remarkable machine, we know very little about the structure of the polar tube, how it is assembled, how the "harpoon" is launched, and how it mediates the transfer of the contents of the spore into the host cell, and we are beginning to try to unravel some of these mysteries.

Faraday Institute Newsletter No. 58 - November 2010
One of the highlights of the past month has been the two Faraday Institute sponsored performances of Mr Darwin's Tree by the actor Andrew Harrison at the McCrum Theatre, Corpus Christi College, arranged as part of the Cambridge Festival of Ideas. A 70 minute long single actor performance, the play spans Darwin's life and scientific findings, and includes his musings and struggles in the area of religion [http://mrdarwinstree.com/]. It is a real tour de force that was extremely well received by the approximately 250 people who came to the two performances. The play can be performed in venues such as schools and church halls, as well as professional theatres, and is thoroughly recommended. The next performance on the current tour will be on Friday 19th November at St. John's Wood Parish Church, NW8 7NE. Call 0207-5863864 for more information. Those who wish to arrange a performance should contact Andrew Harrison direct at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tomorrow, Tuesday 2nd November, the first public lecture of the term entitled 'Playing God?: Toward Machines that Deny Their Maker' will be given by Prof. Rosalind Picard, Head of the Affective Computing Research Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Laboratory, at 5.30 pm in the Queen's Lecture Theatre at Emmanuel College. Entrance free with an opportunity afterwards to meet the lecturer and browse a bookstall over complimentary refreshments. As always this lecture will be filmed and users of our on-line video-streamed lectures and seminars might be interested to know that these are posted not only at: www.faraday-institute.org, but also at the Cambridge University site: http://www.sms.cam.ac.uk/institution (scroll down to Faraday Institute). Taking these two sites together, it is interesting to note that these public lectures are often viewed by several thousand people worldwide in addition to those who attend in person.
Another major event this month that will also be filmed and posted on-line is a Public Discussion between the literary writer and critic Prof. Terry Eagleton and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, on the subject 'Responses to the New Atheism'. This will take place on Friday 19th November at 5.30 p.m. in Great St Mary's Church, Cambridge (the University Church). Although this is a large venue, those who wish to secure a seat are encouraged to come early as a large crowd is expected for this event. Doors will open at 4.45 p.m. Entrance is free, drinks will be served at the end and there will be a bookstall containing books by both speakers.
The Faraday Research Seminar series has got off to a flying start with up to a hundred or more in attendance. The next seminar will be on Tuesday 9th November at 1.00 p.m. when Prof. Russell Cowburn FRS will be giving a talk entitled 'Nanotechnology, Ethics and Religion'. Prof. Cowburn has just this term joined the Dept. of Physics here at Cambridge. Then on Tuesday 23rd November Prof. David Bartholomew, Emeritus Profess of Statistics at the London School of Economics, will be speaking on 'Victor Stenger's Scientific Critique of Christian Belief'. This talk arises from the claim made by Prof. Victor Stenger in his recent book God, the failed hypothesis: how science shows that God does not exist, [New York: Prometheus Books (2008)], that the 'God Hypothesis', as he calls it, makes empirical predictions about the world which can be tested by scientific methods. Seminars take place in the Garden Seminar Room at St. Edmund's College, preceded by a free buffet lunch at 12.30 p.m.
The Test of Faith project has won its fourth award. Executive Producer/Director of Photography John Ford collected the first prize on behalf of the project team for 'Best use of New Media in a Christian Project' in the Premier New Media Awards at a black-tie ceremony in London on 15th October. Project Leader Dr Ruth Bancewicz's blog http://scienceandbelief.wordpress.com/ also reached the finals for 'Best Newcomer Blog'. The Test of Faith tour visited Leeds in October, with a lecture by Prof. John Bryant at the Leeds University Business School, hosted by The Christian Medical Fellowship, and another at South Parade Baptist Church. The next tour date is Saturday 6th November in Stratford-upon-Avon. Details can be found at http://www.testoffaith.com/tour/.
The Director has been in the USA for a week this past month participating in a Workshop on the 'Sanctity of Nature' at the Fetzer Institute, and speaking at Baylor University, Michigan State University and the University of Michigan, on various topics relating to science and faith. Other talks in the UK were given in Loughborough, Cambridge and North London. The Associate Director spoke on the always topical subject 'Are Natural Disasters Acts of God?' in Harrow. The Course Director, Rodney Holder, gave the opening talk of the academic year on 'God, the Multiverse, and Everything', to the University of Durham Christians in Science group.
