Wood Violets at Ledge View Nature Center
Spring is trying! Nice to see the sun today, but still not very warm. Looks like this may be the week for the first mowing of the grass! Good news this week, my mother sold her house, Jana and Jared found a house in Florida and an awesome child care provider! We saw many old friends at the annual Marinette Retirement Dinner as 22 retire this year! The busy month of May begins!

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – The Oswego State men's lacrosse team kicked off its 2010 season with a 16-12 loss at Farmingdale State on Friday night. The Lakers trailed by one goal heading into the fourth quarter, but the Rams tallied three goals in two-minute span en route to the victory. Sophomore attack Andy Lever (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) paced the Oswego State offense with three goals and an assist, while Ryan White (Sr., Rockville Centre, N.Y.) added three assists as well. The contest was the season opener for both squads as the Lakers went to 0-1 and Farmingdale State moved to 1-0.
Senior Nick Zoyhofski (Hamburg, N.Y.) recorded the game's first goal for Oswego State, but the Rams responded with five straight goals before heading into the second quarter with a 6-2 lead. The Lakers countered by notching the first three goals of the second frame starting with a goal by senior captain Dan Scarazzo (Fairport, N.Y.) 1:14 into the stanza. Oswego State tallied six more goals to knot the game at nine goals each at halftime.
Both teams remained locked at 11-11 throughout the third, but Sean Maxwell recorded his fourth goal of the game to give Farmingdale State a 12-11 edge with ten seconds left in the frame. Wes Hubschmitt's goal with 8:47 left to play in the contest was the first Ram goal in a two-minute, 11-second span, pushing the lead to 15-11. Zach Hamilton (Jr., Fairport, N.Y.) pulled the Lakers to within three goals with 5:11 remaining, but Farmingdale State scored its final goal three minutes later.

Apprentice plumber George Houghton says the "future looks exciting" after he was highly commended in a national competition.
The 19-year-old New College Stamford student was named runner-up Apprentice of the Year in the Heating and Renewables 2015 Awards, which this year attracted a record number of entries.
When his moped was stolen he cycled 20 miles to work without complaining.Alex Driver, director
George, from Langham in Rutland, was nominated by his employer Orangehouse Renewables in Stamford, and supported by his college tutors, for his hard work and dedication to his craft, and his desire to improve his skills.
Company director Alex Driver, said: "We are absolutely delighted for George. He has become indispensable to us and is capable, trustworthy and honest.
"His attention to detail is commendable and he always does far more than asked of him, working extra hours when needed.
He added: "When his moped was stolen he cycled 20 miles to work without complaining. He deserves this recognition. We believe George will become a well-respected engineer within the renewable energy community and we feel lucky to have him on our team."
George said: "I love going to work every day and really enjoy improving my skills, but to get this national recognition from the plumbing and renewables industry is a great bonus.
Qualified specialists are very sought-after and there are so many emerging technologies. The future is exciting."
Tutor Mark Hudson said he was thrilled for the teenager.
He said: "George always strives to give his best and is incredibly committed to every task he undertakes so it is no wonder he was recognised by the competition judges. He's already developed a great talent, so I have no doubt that he'll go far."

Basically, nobody has ever requested for comment-delimiters to be hilighted differently than the comment body, so we're adding a feature that nobody asked for (and this, one-year into a feature freeze). Problem is that this feature doesn't work quite right: the border cases are non-trivial and nobody has the expertise/time/willingness to fix it. But the oddest part of all is that this was introduced because of something completely unrelated: the ability to mark mail quoting-prefix without marking the quoted text. And this, of course, has nothing to do with comments, other than an accidental reuse of font-lock-comment-face. Please, let's rename this new face to something sensible like mail-citation-prefix-face (or the same without the "-face" suffix) and stop the madness about comment delimiters. Stefan

The 25x'25 Alliance, a group focused largely on securing renewable energy, said Tuesday that several factors will need to come together to maintain agricultural and forestry production as weather and climate patterns become increasingly unpredictable.
The equation to improve reaction to climate changes will include research, strong insurance programs, technology and dialogue between producers, policymakers and agricultural organizations.
"These are recommendations that mitigate risks posed by changes in our climate while strengthening production, cutting input costs and improving the quality of the land, even in the context of weather-related disasters like those experienced in 2011 and 2012," Work Group Chairman Fred Yoder said during a press call Tuesday.
The report detailing the recommendations was released Tuesday with the support of several farm groups, including the American Soybean Association and the American Farm Bureau. It is titled "Agriculture and Forestry in a Changing Climate: Adaptation Recommendations."
"This document offers producers, foresters and policy makers various pathways in the areas of research, production systems, risk management, decision tools and outreach for building a more resilient ag and forestry system," Yoder added.
25x'25 suggests that the impacts as a result of changing weather will vary by region, but stronger storms and higher temperatures may be characteristic of new patterns. Additionally, new weeds and pest threats will be of greater concern. In these situations, 25x'25 said productivity, profitability, stewardship and self-determination will surface as overlapping, continuing goals.
Producers will require support for hard decisions -- and resources for those decisions will come from research, the report said.
Governmental, academic and private research for more climate forecasting and scenarios, as well as the implementation of conservation practices designed to maintain the productive capacity of land should be a priority.
25x'25 supports maintaining a federal crop insurance program and relief programs for victims of natural disasters. In the report, they call on policy makers and private businesses to provide funding adaptation measures, including low-interest, revolving loans.
Technology will also be a factor in mitigating risk, and new tools such as smartphone apps may be a big piece of the puzzle. These apps will improve information gathering and dialogues, and serve as a supplement to producer-centered discussions that connect producers in areas experiencing changing conditions with those already accustomed to addressing similar challenges.
The report said there must also be ongoing dialogue between scientists, policymakers, and agricultural organizations, and that producers and trade associations must be involved in research decisions and implementation.
"Adaptation strategies come in many different forms, but typically fall into three major categories: actions to increase resistance to changes in climate in order to maintain existing practices; actions to improve resilience by investing in steps that preempt disasters and restore systems in the wake of them; and actions to transform operations," said Chuck Rice, Kansas State University Distinguished Professor and professor of soil microbiology in a press statement.
Rice noted the strategies in the report "are designed to reflect this range of activities."
Yoder said the release of the report is only a single step in a continuing process, calling on all stakeholders to offer feedback on the types of adaptation measures needed to enable producers to succeed in the context of a changing climate.
He said that through 2014, 25x'25 will be supporting project outreach partners such as the American Farm Bureau Federation, National Corn Growers Association, American Soybean Association and other producer groups by offering presentations, workshops, webinars and additional forums to generate dialogue improve understanding of coming challenges.
"The Adaptation Work Group believes that with forethought, leaders and the right priorities, our nation's agriculture and forestry systems cannot only meet future challenges, but thrive in the midst of them," Yoder said.

They stepped out together during the Independence Day holiday, but just a few weeks later, it was announced that their brief romance was over.

By Sue Beck(Karta Purkh) and Dan Retuta
One week after attending my first Kundalini Yoga class in Aspen, I received an unexpected phone call. The man had a commandingly booming voice with a thick New York accent. He identified himself as Dyal Singh Khalsa: "Sat Nam. I've already called my travel agent. You are to fly to Miami for Tantric, and then to Boston to meet Yogi Bhajan, and then to Uniondale here in New York to live in my basement and learn to teach." It was pure grace that directed me to follow these assertive instructions from a complete and perfect stranger. On that afternoon in 1996, I began my relationship with Dyal Singh who firmly set me on the path to learning and teaching the profound technology of Kundalini Yoga. With his encouragement and support, I was blessed to attend the 1997 Master's Touch Course. In the years that followed, Dyal Singh nurtured the vision for what was to come, training teachers of Kundalini Yoga, as transmitted by Yogi Bhajan.
In 2004, the Crestone Healing Arts Center hosted Colorado's first Level I Aquarian Teacher Training with Dyal Singh as Lead Trainer. He would teach with unwavering exactitude and devotion, the way his beloved teacher, the Siri Singh Sahib (Yogi Bhajan) had instructed him to teach. Dyal Singh would drive over 2000 miles from New York to Colorado three times a year to serve a small handful of students awaiting the blessing of his wisdom and teaching. In the eight years that followed he successfully completed seven Level I Teacher Trainings. His influence as a teacher made an indelible and lasting impression amongst the students in these trainings.
Dyal Singh was a storyteller. The yoga students would hear tales of how he would share the benefits of his headstand chair with random truck drivers at rest stops, convince strangers in need to receive Yogic Neuromuscular bodywork in gas station parking lots, teach stress management and long deep breathing to police officers who stopped him along the way, and how Reiki treatments would work its healing wonders amongst recipients near and far. Dyal Singh's precious stories of his many experiences with the Siri Singh Sahib were the ones he treasured the most.
Dyal Singh's kindness and generosity made a lasting impression on our family and the entire Crestone community. He always responded to my calls giving advice regarding family, friends, situations, and life direction. He contributed his energy and resources to sharing yoga especially in our local charter school. Crestone Charter School is now in its 10th year of including Kundalini Yoga in its curriculum. He assisted our daughter, Ariel, and one other community member in attending Miri Piri Academy in India. Dyal Singh offered healing and bodywork to individuals who often could not afford to pay for treatments. He established the Siri Singh Sahib Memorial Temple, dedicating himself to spreading Kundalini Yoga to whoever came to his door for teachings, counseling or advice.
In the last few weeks just prior to his April, 2012 car accident, it was clear that Dyal Singh was happier and more content than Dan and I had ever seen him. He came to our office with that same booming voice to joyfully sign the certificates for what was to be his last group of teacher trainees. We had a lot of laughs that day about life and about our memories from previous trainings. He told us how much he loved living here in our secluded mountain town. He will be remembered by many as a great teacher, a selfless healer, and a unique human being. Dyal Singh will be greatly missed. He resides in our hearts always.
One of the graduates of this most recent teacher training expressed respect and regard for Dyal with these words: "Today I chanted 'Akaals' for Dyal on a cliff overlooking the Pacific ocean, sun gleaming off the water, waves frothing around the rocks below. It seemed especially fitting to be at the boundary between the known and the vast expanse of the unknowable. While explaining my connection with Dyal to someone a few days ago, I realized I can count on my hands the number of days I was with him in Crestone, and borrowing another hand covers the days in Lakewood. His presence in my life seems unbound by the time and space that we physically spent together. I'm sure this is true for all of you and so many others, and I'm equally sure that it will continue to be true in his passing. He will live on in many hearts. I wish I could be at the ceremony in Crestone tomorrow morning. Instead, I will again be at the Pacific, chanting 'Akaals', perhaps burning a small fire as a tiny echo. Much love to each of you, I look forward to seeing you again soon."
Dyal Singh Khalsa passed from this world and on to his next dharmic destination on May 3, 2012. The cremation ceremony took place during the morning of the full moon on May 6, 2012. Thank you Dyal for all the good you shared with us "Seen and unseen."
Sat Nam.
Sue Beck/Karta Purkh and Dan Retuta are the Directors of Crestone Healing Arts Center & Kundalini Yoga of Crestone.

Since its release, SuperSponge received mostly mixed reviews. GameRankings gave the game 68% for the PS1 version and a 67.83% for the GBA version. Despite the mixed reviews, it made greatest hits for the PS1.
February 26, Patrick's birthday
- After "Help Wanted," "Hooky," "Rock Bottom," "Tea at the Treedome," "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy," and "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III"
- There was going to be a Nintendo 64 version, but it was cancelled by THQ.
- This is the only SpongeBob game on the Playstation 1 (excluding Nicktoons Racing).
- This game was released in Australia on Andrea Martin's 55th birthday.
- In the PS version, the Spatula collecting system is similar to the Ring collecting system in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series.
- 100 Spatulas = 1-Up
- If one looks closely at Gary in this game, he's actually a 3D model. On the Models Resource, Plankton is also a 3D model.
- This and SpongeBob's Truth or Square are the only video games where Ernest Borgnine actually does the voice Mermaid Man. In all other video games appearances of Mermaid Man, he voiced by Joe Whyte.
- When SpongeBob is hit, all Spatulas collected up to that point are lost
- If SpongeBob is hit without any Spatulas, the player loses a life
- This is the first SpongeBob game to feature an FMV (Full Motion Video).
- Early builds of this game during development had a health bar, placeholder voice acting, as well as Squidward and Patrick being 3D models. [1]
- This takes place after "Hooky" because SpongeBob knows where Fish Hooks Park is.
- This takes place after "Rock Bottom" because SpongeBob knows where it is.
- This takes place after "Help Wanted" because SpongeBob knows Mr. Krabs.
- This takes place after "Tea at the Treedome" because SpongeBob knows Sandy.
- This takes place after "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" because SpongeBob and Patrick knows Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.

O Lord, God of vengeance,
O God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth;
repay to the proud what they deserve!
3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.
The verses above might seem a bit random, but let me explain.
So the church Luke and I attend, Gracenet Community Church, has a Thursday night theology class. For the past 4 months or so we have been studying a lecture series on apologetics taught by R. C. Sproul, who uses the classicist approach to apologetics: proving the existence of God through rational thinking. The series has been great as it's exposed me to many thoughts and ideas I'd never even heard of, let alone thought about before.
One of these ideas is Immanuel Kant's moral argument. Kant (1724 – 1804) was a German philosopher who argued that to have morality, humanity must assume the existence of God. In fact, in order for morality to not only exist but also be meaningful, there needs to be perfect justice. However, one quick look at the morning paper will lead anyone to conclude that perfect justice does not happen in this world. Therefore, for morality to have meaning, one must believe that immoral actions are judged in an afterlife. In order for perfect justice to be administered in the afterlife, there must be a perfect judge who is all-knowing, infallible, righteous and omnipotent.
It is an interesting thought. What makes morality meaningful? After all, if we just do "the right thing" because it makes us feel good, what happens if that changes and suddenly the "wrong thing" makes us feel better? Haven't you ever felt an overwhelming sense of injustice when you hear cases of judges letting child molestors or rapists off with the slightest slap on the wrist? Or when you hear about countries where there is no punishment for certain horrendous crimes? Thinking of these things, doesn't it make you want to join in with the psalmist and shout: "God of vengeance shine forth! Rise up and judge the earth!"
To say that morality evolved gives no meaning or depth to it. And if we are evolving our morals as a society and they are changing, doesn't that mean they could change to anything? We could decide that rape is good or that murder is a good. In a world of relative truths, there is no right or wrong - just preferences. And in my opinion such a world is a very scary place.
Right now, you might be thinking that a righteous and holy judge is a good thing, so that those really wicked people will get justice. But what about you? Would you count yourself amongst the wicked people? The people that pour out arrogant words and boast, according to the psalmist? You see, if God is all-knowing, perfectly just and completely righteous, this means one day He will judge everything we've ever done and said and every thought that has entered our head. Are you sure that He'd be pleased with what He sees in you?
You see, all of us have broken God's laws. Sure, it may not be as blatantly obvious as someone who has murdered, but Jesus said that if you have ever hated anyone you have committed murder in your heart (Mathew 5:21). Can you honestly say that you have loved God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind every moment of your life (Matthew 22:37)? Have you always loved your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 22:39)?
The truth of the matter is we have all fallen short of the glory of God, and we all deserve to be judged and punished by Him because we are lawbreakers. The only just punishment for sinning against the almighty God is eternity in hell. However, the good news is that God has provided a way for sinners like us to be reconciled to Him, through Jesus' death on the cross. Two thousand years ago, God sent his one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth. Jesus was both fully God and fully man. Unlike us, He lived a perfect life, and willingly sacrificed that life for us on the cross. Because of Christ's sacrifice, His righteousness may be applied to us, so that when God looks upon us, He no longer sees our sin but rather the perfect life of Jesus. Thus we can be saved from God's wrath and have eternal life.
However, salvation is not automatic. We must repent (confess and turn away from our lawbreaking ways) and decare our complete trust in Jesus' saving work on the cross.
So, I guess here's food for thought: where do your morals come from? If morals are to be meaningful, there must be perfect justice, eternal life and a perfect judge. How will you fare in front of such a judge? Are you really a good person?

Another prime example of why photoshop was invented. Someone has gone through every Bond movie and pulled out a James from each of them. They're all in the signature tux, and we can see them all lined up so we can decided once and for all who the most debonair one really is.
I mean, you have to go with Sean Connery here. There's just no beating him. I was never a big Roger Moore fan, and George Lazenby looks like Bruce Campbell playing Bond dress-up. Pierce Brosnan is the Bond I grew up with, so he'll be in my top tier forever. As for Craig? I'm still not convinced he has the charisma to pull off the role, as mere punching and shooting does not a James Bond make. I guess we'll see how Bond 23 goes next year.
Which Bond is your favorite?

|Dreamtide Dream and Deliver
|AOR Heaven
Some 5 years since their last album (where does the time go), German melodic rockers Dreamtide return for another side dish of Fair Warning mixed with the pomp AOR of Magnum.
The guys have employed a really hollow guitar sound on this album û evn more so than their first two records, obviously intentional and part of the band's "charm" I guess, but the overall production style and quality is not going to appeal to all.
There's a lot going on within any Dreamtide album and as usual this took several listens to appreciate.
The guys have taken a slightly different musical path here. This is a more diverse record than the two previous Dreamtide releases, this time incorporating a more pop feel on a few tracks. The opening melodic hard rock/pomp salvo of A Fool's Crusade and I Don't Wanna Wait are as fine as you will hear from the guys.
The mid-tempo melodic pop ballad Same Star and the soulful, smooth and quite impressive ballad Dancing When The Night Falls showcase the other side of the band, while the big bombastic rhythm of Your Beat and King Of Scum wrap around them.
The mid-section of the album turns mellower before To Everybody returns the albums sound to a bombastic heavy beat.

Following last night's statement from Miliband stating that he would not have a labour government if it means doing deals with the SNP, people seems super confused about what that means. Some people even seem to think that we live in a democracy rather than a monarchy, and forget that Lizzie ultimately determines the Prime Minister, albeit under established conventions. There are several potential scenarios but none of them get to the heart of the problem – that the Labour Party is dead and needs putting out of its misery.
On last nights Question Time, Miliband ruled out not only a formal coalition with the SNP, but also a confidence and supply arrangement. The key statement is below.
If it meant we [the Labour Party] were not going to be in government not being in government, not doing a coalition, not having a deal, then so be it. I am not going to sacrifice the future of our country, the unity of our country. I'm not going to give in to SNP demands around Trident, around the deficit or anything like that, so I just want to repeat this point to you – I am not going to have a Labour government if it means deals or coalitions with the Scottish National Party.
Ed Miliband, Question Time, 30th April 2015
That is a pretty clear statement, that Miliband would rather not form a government rather than rid the country of weapons of mass destruction, or reverse the austerity programme, two areas which the SNP have highlighted as major policy differences between themselves and Labour. But what then is the constitutional situation.
First off, in the event of a hung parliament there is no obligation for Cameron to resign.
Cabinet Manual 2.8 "Prime Ministers hold office unless and until they resign."
Cabinet Manual 2.12 "Where an election does not result in an overall majority for a single party, the incumbent government remains in office unless and until the Prime Minister tenders his or her resignation and the Government's resignation to the Sovereign."
And convention suggests that he would not do so in the absence of a confidence and supply deal
Cabinet Manual 2.10 "Recent examples suggest that previous Prime Ministers have not offered their resignations until there was a situation in which clear advice could be given to the Sovereign on who should be asked to form a government"
Consequently Cameron need not resign, citing Miliband's refusal to do a deal with the SNP and an inability to "command the confidence" of the House of Commons without an SNP deal, putting Miliband on the spot to either renege on his "no deal" position or to allow Cameron to continue in office. If Cameron refuses to resign, there are then three potential scenarios.
Scenario 1: A rerun of the election
Under the Fixed Terms parliaments act, a new election can be called on the basis of a two thirds majority of the House of Commons. Either Labour and the Conservatives together, or potentially one or other of them could call for a new election in the hopes that they may establish a stronger position. Cameron may feel that the confusion may strengthen his position in the south – reinforcing a key theme of the election that Miliband is weak, while Miliband may gamble that his tough stance with the SNP may see former Labour voters in Scotland return to the fold.
Scenario 2: A No Confidence Motion
Miliband may call a No Confidence motion. Under the Fixed Terms Parliament Act, were this to be passed – which it almost certainly would be on current predictions – this gives Labour 14 days to cobble together a government. Refusing to do a confidence and supply deal with the SNP at this stage, which would enable a confidence motion to be passed in a new Labour government within the 14 day deadline would trigger a new election. At this point, Trident and austerity becomes key sticking points. If the SNP decided that they would only provide confidence to the government on the basis of agreements around this area, they may well be accused of allowing the opportunity of a Labour government to slip away. The SNP however may calculate that their support base in Scotland is sufficiently strong to be more damaged by not securing a Trident and anti-austerity commitment, than by any political fall out in rUK, which would backfire on Labour if they were unable to obtain a majority in a second election.
Scenario 3: A National Unity Government
The third option is that Labour could enter negotiations with the Conservatives for a government of national unity, citing the SNP as a threat to "the future of our country, the unity of our country" and a grand coalition, softening some of the worst excesses of Tory policy is the only way forward. This would be a gamble, but one based on the idea that in England at least, there is nowhere else for traditional Labour voters to go, and that their willingness to work with the Conservatives rather than the SNP would appeal to unionists and centre voters in any future election – which could be called at any time, giving them a "nuclear option" of calling a new election once they felt that the timing was right.
There is a tacit assumption that Miliband is merely posturing and that "of course" there will be a deal once the election campaign is over, but North British Labour have been touting "the largest party forms the government" line for a long time now, and the press have been preparing for a Tory coup with few murmours from the Labour Party, suggesting that this is not merely posturing, but a deliberate softening up of the electorate. For Labour Party policies have far more in common with the neo-liberal Conservative Party than with the slightly left of centre social democratic SNP.
Or to put it simply, we are fucked. Labour is a cesspit which would sell their granny rather than rid the UK of weapons of mass destruction and end the austerity doctrine which is causing untold misery across the country. Still, still socialists in rUK are calling for a Labour vote. Labour is finished as a party of working class interests. It is dead in Scotland, its North British branch facing total wipeout from a position of electoral dominence, this is not only a result of rising demand for independence, but a recognition that in policy terms there is little which seperates the Labour Party and the Conservative. But in rUK it still clings on – the ghosts of Labour past haunting the working class aided and abetted by the fetishisation of the Labour Party as a "socialist" party. The Labour Party is but a hollowed out shell, unrecognisable from the vision created by Keir Hardie, illusion upheld, not r by the Labour Party itself who have long abandoned any pretense of socialism, but by socialists who refuse to accept reality. The modern day Labour party is little but a zombie feeding off the hopes and dreams of working class people. It is time we put it out of its misery and allowed a proper socialist movement to arise.

For example, if you write body { width: 600; } then this is an error (missing unit after number), and browsers are required to ignore the rule. And modern browsers do, except perhaps in Quirks Mode. There are quite a many pages that use unitless values where units are required, and error processing rules in CSS specifications require that those pages be broken, instead of making the sensible assumption (which e.g. IE makes in Quirks Mode) that the user meant pixels. It's definitely an error handling requirement. Whether it's a good requirement is a different issue. Along the principles outlined for HTML 5, it would be obvious that the rules need to be changed to comply with existing practice - except that this is CSS, not HTML, but I guess HTML 5 would soon be accompanied by CSS 3.2, which would be effectively CSS 2.1 with error handling requirements transmogrified and some cool new features thrown in. :-) > It defines how to successfully ignore future extensions. That might be the motivation behind the rules, but the rules and their implementations exist independently of that. (I won't even imagine what possible extension to CSS would allow pure numbers as values for e.g. the width property, given the fact that such values have widely been used to denote pixels.) > If people start authoring CSS that falls within > the invalid CSS space, they risk finding their documents breaking in the > future. That's a risk with any use of extended features (i.e. features not in specifications) and doesn't depend on error processing rules. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/Received on Monday, 30 April 2007 21:00:29 UTC

|These vultures surely do not represent players!
I'm a fan of communicating information before-hand, because I never want to have a conversation that a player starts by saying "Well, my character would have known beforehand. . ." because they are likely right.
Who likes to lose an argument? Not this guy!
However, the players won't have the information about the below, they will have only information about the effects.

Serena Williams is No. 1 with a bullet after beating No. 2 Maria Sharapova to capture her 19th major title at the Australian Open. But the rankings shake-up below the WTA's top two, with a big surge forward by the likes of Caroline Wozniacki, Venus Williams and Madison Keys, and a plummet downward by a number of women still holding onto last year's stale results.
Wozniacki is back in the Top 5 for the first time since March 2012. She sits behind Serena, Sharapova, Simona Halep and Petra Kvitova. Despite a second round loss to Victoria Azarenka in Melbourne, Wozniacki rose three spots due to the loss of points by Ana Ivanovic (quarterfinals last year, lost in the first round), Agnieszka Radwanska (semifinals last year, lost in the fourth round), and Eugenie Bouchard (semifinals last year, lost in the quarterfinals).
On the back of her strong run to the quarterfinals, Venus is up seven spots to No. 11. Can she break into the Top 10 for the first time since April 2011? She has over 500 points to defend in the Middle East in February, including the title at the Dubai Championships, and made the fourth round in Miami last year.
Thanks to her breakout performance in Melbourne to beat Kvitova and Venus to make her first Slam semifinal, Madison Keys is up to No. 20 for the first time. She went into Melbourne ranked No. 35. She becomes the first player born in 1995 or later to crack the Top 20.
Also break a ranking milestone is Madison Brengle, who cracked the Top 50 and is up to No. 46. Brengle, 24, just broke into the Top 100 last fall. She started her season by going 14-3 in main draw and qualifying matches in January.
Last year's finalist Dominika Cibulkova did well to make the Melbourne quarterfinals, but her loss to Serena there dropped her down to No. 18. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova is now on the verge of falling out of the Top 40, down to No. 39, and Sloane Stephens is out of the Top 40 at No. 41 after her first round loss to Victoria Azarenka.
Speaking of Azarenka, her ranking bottoms out at No. 49 after losing in the fourth round to Cibulkova. With nothing to defend through the French Open, look for her to put together a strong run to get back into the Top 15 quickly.

Kite fishing is absolutely my favored ways to catch yellowfin tuna off Cabo San Lucas, in the wintertime and its definitely a set of skills which keeps you on your toes. The rigs you use are just as important as the hardware and there are a lot of selections with regards to big league kite fishing gear. For that matter, breaking fragile kite fishing equipment is unavoidable and in most instances a lot more goes wrong than right with regards to flying two kites in rough seas. We have learned to kite fish in virtually any fishable condition, and my goal here's to illustrate many of the techniques we've utilized with great success throughout the years.
The Standard Cabo San Lucas Kite fishing Rig – This was the original kite fishing rig which has been utilized since the late 70s. Basically, it requires minimal rigging in a world where technical know how can mean the distinction between hooking fish in tough sea conditions or going home empty handed. The rig is straightforward, effective, and reliable. Whether you are rigging a line with two or 3 baits you need to use top quality release clips, a strong main line, and the strongest swivels you may get. Kite Hunter and Blacks are great kiting rigging kits that you could buy at almost any reputable tackle on line store. Kite clip kit
Some might balk and say 3 baits is a bit much to manage but MAN UP! Most pleasure boats fish SIX baits at any time so learn to fish three. Most large charter boats and pro rigged center consoles fish two kites with up to six baits, flying kites off the riggers using stainless steel rings to keep the spread wide and controlled. Still, there are many lessons to be learned from this orientation and if you are up for the challenge, you can build a tournament winning spread for just under $3000.00. If you are dead set on fishing like the pros, you'll have to invest in the gear first. Rigging the kite lines is basically the same, but the orientation of the gear inside the boat and how you run the lines is the key difference.
If you are an Angler and would like to go kite fishing in cabo San Lucas ! make sure you charter from Tag cabo Sportfishing fleet.
They have been kite fishing for years and you can actually follow them on facebook to watch them live streaming wile they are fishing. Fishing in Cabo

App Icon or App Avatar?
It is interesting to me that this symbol doesn't really have a formal name other than app store icon. At first I thought is was called an app avatar but apparently that is not true. What do you think it should be called?
Anyhow, the EndoGoddess app icon or avatar widget will be available soon with a direct link to the App Store on this page.

Ready For Download!!
Go to the Apple App Store and search EndoGoddess where you'll find the app.
Start collecting points when you enter your daily blood glucoses and you will be able to eventually cash those points in within the iTunes store for a song download (this transaction isn't quite finished in the programming but will be soon).
In a few days, there will also be a place for you to enter your comments and YOUR ideas for inspiring quotes which help YOU get through a hard day with diabetes.
New features will automatically be updated through the App Store but check back here for the latest.
Android version will be here soon... :)

Columbus Ohio vs. Silicon Valley
I just returned from an inspiring trip to Silicon Valley to discuss advances in mobile health at Stanford Medicine 2.0 . It was wonderful to be surrounded by the positive Valley vibe which radiates that anything is possible.
However, upon return to the 'real world' here in Columbus Ohio, I feel that being surrounded by the challenge of implementation of these tools is actually an advantage and more likely to produce a product that works for most people. A post that I read recently summarizes it best:
- People Still Don't Know What Craigslist Is – While people in the Valley are talking about how Yelp.com is already passe, keep in mind that most people still don't even realize what Craigslist is. I ask people all the time how often they use Craigslist and 9 out of 10 respond "What's Craigslist? Is it like Angie's List?"
- People Don't "Need" Venture Capital – Because the costs of operations are a fraction of the costs in the Valley and frankly because there is so little of it outside the Valley. What happens when capital is so scarce is that companies are forced to figure it out without capital – and they do. Companies are run for customers/patients/users and profits, not for VC's.
- No One Throws Launch Parties - We're all too busy in Columbus actually building companies to take the time to wallow in our own manufactured successes. We're also likely spending our own money, which no one would waste away on launch parties.
- Most Users Live in Columbus, Ohio – Sure, people in the Valley think a new Web app is sweet. But getting a bunch of other nerds to use an app only buys a small initial audience. Critical mass comes when you get the everyman to use your app, and the everyman lives in Columbus, Ohio.
- Our Businesses Need to Earn a Profit – Maybe people in the Valley can afford to squander $20 million on a product that has no revenue model in hopes it'll get bought. The rest of the world has to build real companies that make real money to sustain themselves.
I am in agreement with these points. Your thoughts?

Waiting Game
Waiting, waiting, waiting on the Apple App Store after submitting the EndoGoddess app on Saturday. Luckily, work on the android version will be finished this week, too. The wait for the android store is only 24hrs. Feels like watching paint dry for an impatient person like myself. But, 7-10 days and 24hrs will be here soon enough so I am learning to try to live in the 'now' moment. :)

Style and Mobile Health
New York Fashion Week started several days ago where innovations in style are celebrated within the fashion world.
Style has an important function in the mobile health world, too. App design and style translate to the user experience. Without a good user experience, there are no users and thus there are no influences on health outcomes. On the EndoGoddess app, I have worked closely with Eproximiti's resident artist to develop an inviting and of course fashionable style to the app so that the user experience is one that is inviting and beautiful.
Another great example of style in mobile health is AgaMatrix' nugget which is a glucometer that works with the iPhone as well as independently and is pending FDA approval soon. The sleek design did not happen by accident. In fact, the chairman and co-founder, Sonny Vu (who is also a friend of mine from Oklahoma), started out college as an art major!
So, what is the future stylish direction for the EndoGoddess app? Integration with a sleek mobile phone glucometer would be ideal so as to eliminate self-entry of glucoses within the app and to make life even easier for those living with diabetes. Just a dream right now.

EndoGoddess App Version 1: Apple App Store Submission!
I am excited to report that version 1 of the EndoGoddess app is ready for submission to the Apple app store! After submission, you should be able to download the app in 7-10 days so watch for it in late September.
The rewards points are alot like foursquare. However, cashing in points for iTunes download rewards is not yet available on this first version. The ability to submit feedback within the app is also not yet available. But, updates will be frequent and often with the feedback function being ready next week.
Feedback will be an important feature. Many future versions of the app will be in response to your feedback because listening is a priority with the EndoGoddess app.

The Diabetes Online Community (DOC)
The Diabetes Online Community (DOC) has a large presence on the internet - one of the largest chronic disease communities online. This community provides a place for people with diabetes to communicate with others that understand the mental, physical and emotional side of diabetes and how to embrace it and spread diabetes awareness.
Every Wednesday evening at 9pm EST, there is a moderated hour-long Twitter chat (Diabetes Social Media Advocacy or #DSMA) dedicated to diabetes themed discussions. Varied members of the diabetes online community come together to share their thoughts and opinions on issues important to them. Topics have included: juggling diabetes at work or school, online privacy, regulatory agencies, advocating for diabetes, and many more. The conversation is taken a step further on Thursdays via a live interview known as DSMA Live. Each week, Cherise Shockley along with co-hosts George Simmons and Scott Johnson, speak about the current week's topic with a different guest every week. People participate by calling in or chatting on the message board. You can continue the conversation from twitter by joining Cherise, George and Scott every Thursday, 9 PM EST on DSMA Live (blog talk radio).
I am honored to be part of the conversation this week on #dsma and #dsamlive discussing the meshing of the awesome diabetes online community (DOC) and mobile health with the EndoGoddess app. Tune in and be a part of the conversation too! You can link directly here: http://dsmalive.com/2011/09/

Evidence-Based App Design
The EndoGoddess app has a scientific evidence-based design derived from BJ Fogg's Health Behavior Model (http://www.behaviormodel.org/). The model confirms that three elements must converge at the same moment for a health behavior or outcome to occur: Motivation, Education, and Trigger. When a behavior does not occur, at least one of those three elements is missing.
The EndoGoddess app supplies all three elements for targeting the behavior of checking glucoses 4 times per day:
- Motivation comes from iTunes rewards on a weekly basis so that the user can download a song
- Education comes from the multimedia content within the app related to diabetes
- Triggers come from the app's daily inspiring messages taken from the diabetes online community as well as medication reminders or alarms that each user designates
We all know diabetes is hard work so it's about time that someone rewarded us for it!! The EndoGoddess app rewards, educates, and triggers or inspires people with diabetes to check their glucoses 4 times per day.

Picking My Partner: Eproximiti Duet Health
When I began programming a simple app to automate the SMS texting protocol that I designed and used in a small pilot study with my patients, I did not intend on making it commercially available. In fact, I intended the app to be used only by myself for research. My original app is pictured on the left.
However, several mobile health startup companies approached me over the past year with ideas to expand the app. I ended up partnering with Eproximiti after they introduced themselves to me. Their software platform is called Duet Health as it involves both the patient and the doctor in development. When we met earlier this year, I was instantly impressed with their patient-centered mission, their local location in Columbus Ohio, and their swift ability to produce beautiful and functional app products. Together, we designed the EndoGoddess app with many more features than the app that I originally programmed on my own. I highly recommend collaborating with Eproximiti to any physicians out there who have a mobile health app idea that they would like to see come to life.

In The Beginning...
I am starting a new blog. I have decided to chronicle the adventures that I am having upon the release of my new EndoGoddess app. Health app development feels a little bit like writing a book that 'does something'. So, I thought I'd actually write about what it feels like to share my app, aka my baby, with you and let it do what it was born to do...help motivate and celebrate the hard work it takes to live well with diabetes!

The school librarian is at the hub of all learning activities in the school, connecting leaners and teachers to prepare students for success in the classroom and beyond.
To guide them along this path, the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) has released a new set of National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians and School Libraries. The standards were unveiled Nov. 9 at AASL's National Conference & Exhibition, held in Phoenix, Arizona.
AASL, a division of the American Library Association, engaged with more than 1,300 school librarians and stakeholders in a process that began more than three years ago, said Sylvia Knight Norton, AASL executive director.
Two groups, an editorial board to write the standards and a task force to implement them, worked through a process that involved focus groups, late nights and a lot of lost sleep.
Marcia Mardis, who chaired the editorial board, said, "We began by revisiting the common beliefs. And these are the inarguable values that we share as a profession and want others to know about us. The first being that the school library is a unique and essential part of a learning community. The second, qualified school librarians lead effective school libraries. The third being that learners should be prepared for college, career and life. The fourth being that reading is the core of personal and aesthetic competency. The fifth being that intellectual freedom is every learner's right. And the sixth being that information technologies must be appropriately integrated and equitably available."
The standards provide an integrated framework for learners, school libraries and school librarians. Criteria are set out that will help schools, school districts and states effectively measure school librarian performance.
The standards recognize the five roles of the school librarian: Leader, instructional partner, information specialist, teacher, program administrator. They are anchored by six Shared Foundations—Inquire, Include, Collaborate, Curate, Explore, and Engage-and four Domains- Think, Create, Share and Grow within those foundations.
Within the foundation of Inquire, for example, learners progress from the Think stage, in which they ask questions rooted in their knowledge and curiosity, to Grow, in which they make personal connections, to Share, where they share designs, solutions and evidence with their peers, to Create, where they create new knowledge.
The other foundations encourage learners to appreciate different points of view, use a variety of communications tools, organize information and use information technology and media responsibly.
At the launch, Norton said, "These standards are a commitment to the future, for our profession, to our fellow educators and to our students." Addressing the librarians at the conference, she exclaimed, "When you look at this work, doesn't it make you proud to be a school librarian?" to the applause of listeners.
She added, "These are your standards. These are our standards. It's through your input, your willingness that AASL has established the national school library standards for learners, for school librarians, for school libraries."

Islington council has been criticised after it emerged that social workers considered sending a boy in their care to DR Congo to be exorcised.
The boy's mother, who was from Africa, claimed he had been possessed by "kindoki", or evil spirits, and had asked that he be sent to DR Congo for "deliverance."
Some council officials were "mindful to agree to the request", according to Dr Richard Hoskins, a criminologist who specialises in African religions and beliefs.
The council paid more than £4,000 for Hoskins to travel to DR Congo in 2005 to investigate the possibility of the boy being exorcised.
Hoskins advised the council against sending him. The rituals, which involved depriving the child for three days of food and fluids, she said, would be "deeply disturbing and traumatising".
During his visit, Hoskins met the grandparents of the child as well as the pastor of their church. The pastor claimed that the evil spirits which they believe possessed the boy would lead to "strife, illness, divorce, hardship, poverty and death" if not dealt with.
Hoskins also claimed that while the pastor assured the boy would not be beaten during the ritual, he saw one boy who had recently undergone the same procedure who looked "scared and traumatised".
In his council report Hoskins wrote: "Whilst I found the family and the church to be very friendly, I cannot recommend that the child be allowed to go through a deliverance service such as that envisaged.
"From my research I think this might be deeply disturbing and traumatising for him."
Islington council acknowledged it had paid for Hoskins to travel to DR Congo but claimed it was on the instruction of a judge.
A spokesman told the Daily Telegraph: "It is a normal process in care proceedings to assess the extended family when a child has been removed from parental care.
"Dr Hoskins was instructed to meet extended family members to assess their belief that a child of the family was possessed by spirits.
"This was on the instruction of the family court during care proceedings."
Hoskins gave evidence in the case of Kristy Bamu, a 15-year-old east London boy drowned in a bath during an exorcism.
Eric Bikubi, 28, and Magalie Bamu, 29 - Kristy's sister - were convicted of murder.

text: I like changes and this time I did not hesitate to go from blonde to brunette. This happened spontaneously because I'm not the kind of person to plan something. When I want something, I want it now! I always wanted to see how I look with blonde hair and therefore I opted for the ombre style. I loved it but I realized that the brunette is more me. Now my hair is a shade of yummy golden brown and I'm very pleased about it. I'm sure there will be changes in the future because I like to experiment and try new things. After all that's what fashion's about - changes & evolution!

Housten Quilts
As you know I spent the last couple of weeks away and a good part of it was spent at Quilt Market and Quilt Festival. I must say I am not a big fan of Art Quilts and this year they dominated the Exhibition. So most of the photo's I took were of Antique and vintage quilts on Vendors stalls.

In the Straits of Malacca on Malaysia's west coast lies the privately owned island of Pangkor Laut. Occupied solely by the Pangkor Laut Resort, this truly tropical isle has pristine silver sands and clear blue waters fringed by an ancient rainforest. Of the island's 300 acres, only a fraction has been developed to house the resort, so if you can bear to leave the comfort of your sunbed you'll find a wilderness awaiting exploration.
08444 937 531
Our vastly experienced travel advisors are passionate about Pangkor Laut With first-hand knowledge of the island they can advise which resort and hotel is best for you to create the perfect holiday, at the best possible price.
Getting there: There are no direct flights from the UK to Pangkor Laut. From Kuala Lumpur it is 4 hours by road to Marina Island (or 2 hours 40 minutes by road from Penang) and then 15 minutes from the jetty to the resort by speedboat.
Best time to travel: Pangkor Laut is a year round destination with high temperatures and rainfall fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. Any downpours tend to last for no more than an hour or two.
Pangkor Laut climate:
