Asparagus and Champagne Mango Salad
If you have not noticed already, I really like asparagus. Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables and when it is fresh and in season I can't seem to get enough of it. Early this morning before anyone in my family decided to crawl out of their beds, I was already out of the house driving my little car along the back roads of Southern Oregon looking for wild asparagus. Asparagus can be found in mid spring along roadsides and in orchards under the blooming pear trees. I was hoping to find some this morning but, it appears to be a bit early in the season. Maybe I'll find some next week….
Pear orchards and vineyards near my home
If you ever have the opportunity to hunt for wild asparagus, there are two very important rules to remember. First of all, find a place where the asparagus is not sprayed with herbicides. If you see asparagus poking through the ground and there are no weeds or grasses around it, don't pick it. Ever. Don't even think about it. It's not safe to eat. Second, always ask the property owner before taking off into an orchard looking for asparagus. You really don't want to be dealing with the owner's big mean watch dog or the owner himself. It's always best to ask first.
Before I go on about the Asparagus and Champagne Mango Salad, I want to thank Weng at ApronandSneakers.com for nominating me for the Liebster Blog Award. If you get a chance, stop by her site and check out her work. Weng's photography is amazing and her recipes are outstanding.

Now back to asparagus… My Asparagus and Champagne Mango Salad is made with fresh picked asparagus, sweet champagne mangoes, crunchy red peppers, purple onions and a wonderful maple red wine vinaigrette. It's easy to make and is perfect to serve on a warm spring day. Enjoy! Tessa
- 2 cups asparagus
- 1 cup red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 cup red onion diced
- 2 champagne (yellow) mangoes peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup light olive oil
- ¼ tsp black pepper or to taste
- ¼ tsp salt or to taste
Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tsp. salt to the water (salt helps keep the bright green color in the asparagus). Wash, trim and cut the woody tips off the asparagus. Toss the woody tips in your compost bin. Cut your asparagus into 1″ pieces on the diagonal. Put asparagus in boiling water. Cook asparagus for about 3 minutes. Quickly remove asparagus and immediately put into cold ice water. Wait a few minutes until the asparagus has cooled and then drain. Meanwhile, prepare your vegetables and mango and set aside. Grab a large mixing bowl and whisk together the red wine vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, black pepper and salt. Add asparagus, mango, onion, red bell pepper and parsley. Toss to coat. Serve cold. Makes about 4 servings.

Hi all,
I'm planning to archive our production table which contain 35 million rows. I want to keep only 20% of the current table and move the rest to another archive table. I'm planning to do this by renaming the original table and creating a new table(original table_name) with 20% of the data using (create table as select *).
Are there any other efficient way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

The Tribune Company said Monday it has emerged from a Chapter 11 restructuring more than four years after the media company sought bankruptcy protection.
The reorganized company is starting with a new board of directors and new ownership including senior creditors Oaktree Capital Management, Angelo, Gordon and Co., and JPMorgan Chase and Co.
The company also said that it closed on a new, $1.1 billion senior secured term loan and a $300 million revolving credit line.
"It took a long time to get here," Ken Liang, a managing director at Oaktree and a new member of the board, said according to a Monday report. "It was a tough restructuring. We're pretty excited about the exit."
Tribune was founded in 1847. It publishes the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune and also owns WGN in Chicago and 22 other television stations.
It sought bankruptcy protection in 2008, less than a year after billionaire developer Sam Zell led an $8 billion leveraged buyout that left the company with $13 billion in debt.

The Franklin County Public Hospital began training nurses as soon as it was founded in 1895. This crucifix was owned by Emily Young Gilman, one of the first nurses graduated by the hospital in 1898. The crucifix points to a striking change in the demographics of Greenfield. Founded by harshly anti-Catholic Puritans, by the late 1800s it had a significant number of Catholics. This happened because of the large influx of immigrants from Ireland (like Emily Gilman) and the Catholic lands of Eastern Europe, especially Poland.

Sing parts separately, then combined.
35395, Children's Songbook, My Heavenly Father, A Child's Prayer, 12-13
1. Heavenly Father, are you really there?
And do you hear and answer ev'ry child's prayer?
Some say that heaven is far away,
But I feel it close around me as I pray.
Heavenly Father, I remember now
Something that Jesus told disciples long ago:
"Suffer the children to come to me."
Father, in prayer I'm coming now to thee.
2. Pray, he is there;
Speak, he is list'ning.
You are his child;
His love now surrounds you.
He hears your prayer;
He loves the children.
Of such is the kingdom, the kingdom of heav'n.

Warner to Lead Workshop in Europe
February 26, 2010
History professor Rick Warner will travel to Eastern Europe next week to conduct a workshop on the liberal arts for a consortium of European colleges and universities.
The conference, sponsored by the European Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences (ECOLAS), is focused on innovation in teaching and learning, and specifically the latest pedagogical trends in liberal arts education.
Professor Warner and a Great Lakes Colleges Association colleague from Kalamazoo, will share information gleaned from a number of GLCA events related to the scholarship of teaching and learning.
"Since the Bologna Declaration of 1999, a number of European educators are seeking to alter the approach of their institutions, and there will be people with a variety of experience levels on this issue at the conference," Warner said. "In initial conversations with our hosts, the Europeans seem particularly interested in the building blocks of a liberal education: how do we teach differently? Basically I want to lay the groundwork for everyone to think broadly about what a liberal arts education is or could be, especially as it relates to their own neck of the woods."
Professor Warner has worked as an evaluator for GLCA grants under a program called New Directions, and for the last two years has been a part of panel that reviews proposals that use and assess alternative pedagogical approaches.
On Thursday, Warner will give the keynote speech at the conference, which is hosted by the Bratislava International School of Liberal Arts in Slovakia.
"In the keynote address I hope to stress that there are two avenues that we should pursue: institutional questions about how the liberal arts approach should shape colleges and universities, and specific classroom techniques that increase student-centered learning," said Professor Warner.
In addition to Thursday evening's keynote entitled "The State of Bachelor of Arts Degree in Europe after Bologna and in the United States," Warner will also participate in two presentations with his Kalamazoo colleague Kiran Cunningham. Both presentations are focused on the mission of liberal arts education and specifically what they've learned about the connection between pedagogy and student learning.
"I am very excited to share what I have learned about the liberal arts difference with European teachers who seek to move their own institutions along these lines," Warner said. "As with any other cross-cultural interaction, I expect to learn as much from them as they will from me, and hopefully will extend the network of international connections that Wabash has fostered in recent years.
"Though I am on sabbatical, I jumped at this opportunity, since my main service focus at the college is international education."
The conference is sponsored by ECOLAS and the Global Liberal Arts Alliance, which comprises 24 liberal arts colleges in the United States, Nigeria, Morocco, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, France, and Switzerland.
"This will be a small conference, about 30 professors from a half dozen different European countries, most from Eastern Europe," Warner said. But he also added that many Eastern European institutions are still evolving. "Many, like the Slovakians, continue to re-invent their societies in a post-Soviet context."
Warner will travel to Bratislava, where the conference will be held March 4-6.

The news on autism has been sobering lately, with the CDC's recent report that the number of kids on the spectrum has increased by 78 percent compared to a decade ago. One in 88 American children are now estimated to have some form of autism spectrum disorder, and while the jump in numbers is at least partially attributed to better diagnosis, broader diagnosis, and better awareness—the fact remains that no one really knows what causes autism.
While scientists continue to examine whether or not the actual prevalence of autism has increased, new research implies that there's one factor that has an effect on the severity of an autistic child's symptoms.
According to a study conducted by Tammy Movsas of Michigan State University's Department of Epidemiology, autistic children who are born several weeks early or several weeks late tend to have more severe symptoms. Additionally, autistic children who were born either preterm or post-term are more likely to self-injure themselves, compared with autistic children born on time.
The study revealed there are many different manifestations of the autism spectrum disorder, which isn't exactly surprising news—but the fact that the length of a mother's pregnancy seems to be tied to symptoms may provide important clues towards unraveling the mystery of autism.
Movsas's research is one of the first studies to look at the severity of the disorder among autistic children who were born early, on time, and late:
We think about autism being caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. With preterm and post-term babies, there is something underlying that is altering the genetic expression of autism. The outside environment in which a preterm baby continues to mature is very different than the environment that the baby would have experienced in utero. This change in environment may be part of the reason why there is a difference in autistic severity in this set of infants.
No one typically has a baby several weeks early or late on purpose, but it's possible that this new information will eventually help doctors figure out if there's anything that can be done during pregnancy to prevent or alleviate autism symptoms. Plus, it's always good news to hear that more research is being invested into what some are calling a public health emergency. Every piece of the puzzle is progress in understanding this disorder that affects so many kids—roughly 1 million children and teens in the U.S. alone.
In your own personal experience, have you observed any link between pregnancy length and autism symptoms?

Hi Ho One and All
Surprise: i didn't get a denial! I did get a notice that they want me to go to their doctor for a mental exam: they set the appointment and pay for it. It's this week and I know one thing for sure: I'm not spending an hour painting on my happy face, not am I going to color my very gray hair (they seem to ALL be growing in gray all of a sudden). Au Natural is it for me: of course I'll shower and the instructions said to wear clean clothes - oh OK, novel idea, OY. Have NO idea what to expect or how long, but sure an anxious to get it done and over with. Hope this is a good sign. . . any comments or suggestions? Husband will drive me, as it's beyond my comfort zone. Please send good thoughts: I am getting so weak but will give it my best shot.
Love and hugs everybody

"I can tell those players aren't having a good time," she said.
Wanting to be excellent at something is a great goal, but when coaches and parents push too hard, kids can get overly worried or push themselves too hard physically, leading to injuries. Some kids may even go on unhealthy diets, trying to lose weight or gain weight to be better at their sport. With all this pressure in the air, there have been some awful incidents involving parents and coaches who have ended up yelling and fighting with each other. How awful and uncomfortable for the players!
As if that's not enough, here's another reason why some changes may be needed: When sports become really competitive, kids who are just average but like to play might not make the team, or they might spend all the games on the bench. That's no fun.
Shooting for a Scholarship
You might say, "Well, I expect to get a scholarship in my sport, so I want the team to be really competitive." But the truth is that not many kids actually get sports scholarships to college. It's great if you want to try for one, but no one can count on getting one. And even fewer kids grow up to become professional athletes. Check out these statistics:
We're not telling you this to bum you out. It is true that some players do get scholarships. It's just that most won't. We're just letting you know that winning and scholarships can be the icing on the cake for some lucky athletes. But the joy of playing can be for everyone.
There are good reasons why kids love being on sports teams. You learn to work hard and work together. You go through ups and downs and often form really strong friendships with teammates. You also get a chance to surprise yourself. Playing a sport means you have a lot of chances to make mistakes - and by making those mistakes - and learning to correct them - you can feel a sense of accomplishment.
Take it from 10-year-old Brandi, whose coach taught her how to hit a baseball.
Before her coach showed her how, "I was swinging at mostly everything and I wasn't holding the bat right," she said.
Coaches Teach Life Lessons
Lots of kids told us how their coaches taught them important skills that made them better athletes. But kids also said that the best coaches do more than improve your swing or sharpen your three-point shot.
Cobi, 10, said the best lesson he learned from a coach was this: "If I lose, it does not mean I am no good or lousy. And I do not need to get mad or upset if I lose."
Eleven-year-old Lizzy said her coach helped her work through jealous feelings she had because a friend was a really fast swimmer. "My coach showed me that I had to work for what I wanted and helped me reach my goal."
Kids also were very clear about what they do not like in a coach: someone who yells and can't control his or her temper.
"Everyone will quit if they're having a miserable time," said Sara, 12.
But it's also bad news if the coach doesn't care at all about winning, said Katy, 11. She had a coach like that once.
"Even if we were horrible at the drill, he would still say we were great and he wouldn't even tell us how to improve."
Kids know they need to practice, it's just that they don't want it to stop being fun. Deja, 11, said that it's a two-way street - coaches need to be supportive and team members need to listen to the coach and cooperate.
Hannah said she learned a great lesson from her basketball coach this year. He told the team to "try your best and not care about winning." They started out losing every game, but ended up winning a tournament!
A New Generation of Coaches
With all those great lessons learned, many boys and girls were already thinking about how they would handle their teams, if they grow up to be coaches someday.
"I will give them all a second chance," said Jena, 11.
Pauline, 12, said she'd be upbeat and encourage her players to lead a balanced life.
"I would not have favorites," she said. "I also would tell them that sports aren't their only matter in life, that they have to focus on family and schoolwork, too."
Kristen, 12, said this: "I would be tough, but know when to stop, and let them enjoy their sport."
Cobi sounds like a great coach in the making. If he's a coach someday, he'd let everyone play, even the players who are not the best. Why? "That's how they will become better."

I would like to know how get a macro to be expanded/evaluated within another macro when passed in as an argument.
e.g. if i define the macro:
(defmacro cond-clause (expr res)
`(,expr (push ,res res)))
Then (macroexpand-1 '(cond-clause (= c 8) 1))
returns ((= C 8) (PUSH 1 RES))
if i define another macro
(defmacro test (expr)
`(cond ,(',expr)))
and call (macroexpand-1 '(test (cond-clause (= c 8) 1))) it returns
it seems like the macro i pass in as argument isn't being expanded in the test macro call
what i want the test macro to return is (COND ((= C 8) (PUSH 1 RES)))
is there away to do this? Help is greatly appreciated.

This history of Deerfield, Massachusetts, was written c.1840 by Pliny Arms. It contains an account of the town during and after the American Revolution. Deerfield was evenly divided between Whigs and Tories which caused the actions of one town meeting to be overturned by the next. Arms also includes the story of some slaves in Deerfield who set out to have a frolic around the time of the Revolution. They were caught and being slaves, the owners could do with them as they wished. Major Catlin was chosen to whip them. Arms goes on to say that slavery was abolished in Massachusetts with the adoption of the state constitution in 1780. Although the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution declared that "all men are born free and equal", it took many years for the institution of slavery to die out in this state.

sound of lions…
This time last week The Mansion in Kingston, Ontario was graced with the presence and incredible performance by the Sound of Lions. With their own spin on trip hop Sound of Lions was named "Best New Act" and "Best Album" of 2011, pretty incredible achievement since they released their album "11:44" in September of 2011.
Vocalist Whitney Delion the front woman for SOL belongs on stage, her calmness radiated through the room as she swayed her body to the beat of the music, wearing a black leather skirt representing her impeccable and expressive style, and the down to earth, grounded woman that she is. Her presence is inviting and it is difficult to keep your eyes off of her. Her distinctive voice has been compared to that of Esthero and Amy Winehouse and let me tell you it was really difficult not to get caught up and mesmerised by her melodic strains. I asked Whitney about her inspirations when writing songs and her response was as modest and humble as she is "I'm the kind of person whose mood is severely affected and reflects the weather. If it's raining; I'm serious, when it's sunny; I feel light. I'm most prone to write during a storm as it makes everything seem much more momentous. However, I wrote 'Enders' on the first incredibly beautiful spring day; after months of living under grey skies, it was a huge relief to see the sun." What a perfect representation of the flow of their music and how the lyrics explore and represent a variety of elements.
The band as a whole vibed incredibly well and the mutual respect for one another was quite apparent. Marco Campagna balanced depth and control pounding on the drums in the background, bassist Joel Soucy swayed like a hook between the beats and the melody, guitarist/back up vocalist Will Assaad's sounds were sharp, clean and blended seamlessly, and beat maker Christian Awad added quite the spark of modern originality to the eclectic sounds, each one of the members added layers of depth to every song.
Their set was flawless, short and very sweet, amongst the eight tracks they managed to fit in was a classic Ace of Base cover "All that she wants" it was the perfect down tempo version of the hit track and I don't think it was about bringing it back but more about Whitney making it her own, and that she did – she owned it.
The above is one of my personal favourites; "Passive Attack" I have watched this version more times than I even want to admit. Each time my emotions get the best of me and send goose bumps that reach my soul. I've been a fan since they've combined forces but have never had the pleasure of seeing them before my naked eye until last week. The feeling that I have watching their videos transpired while watching their performance. The passion for their music is so evident that you can feel it! If you ever have the opportunity to see this five – piece band live I would highly recommend you don't pass it up, trust me their sounds will stay within you and I'm really looking forward to watching them blossom.
Sound of Lions will be performing at Zaphod's 20th Anniversary celebration in Ottawa on Friday, March 9.

Despite the doctor's hard work, the patient's best efforts and the family's loving support, sometimes cancer treatments stop working and a cure or long-term remission is no longer possible. When that happens, hospice can do so much. Hospice ensures that a cancer patient is cared for, supported and surrounded by the people and things they love. Hospice doesn't always add more days to a cancer patient's life, but it can add life—quality of life—to the final months, weeks and days.
Only a doctor can make the clinical determination about a cancer patient's prognosis. When it becomes six months or less, the patient is considered to have advanced-stage cancer, and can benefit from hospice services. Each patient is different and symptoms vary according to the kind of cancer they have, but there are a few signs consistent among cancers that commonly mean the disease has progressed to the advanced stage:
Read more: Hospice Frequently Asked Questions
"I wish I had known about hospice sooner," is a common statement among those caring for a loved one with cancer. Although it's up to the patient's oncologist or attending physician to order a hospice evaluation, the sooner a patient is admitted to hospice the more benefits they and their loved ones will see. One of the most common misconceptions about hospice is that it is only appropriate in the last days or weeks of life. In reality, the Medicare hospice benefit is designed for patients with a prognosis, or life expectancy, of six months or less.
Read more: Quality Hospice Care Takes Time
Research shows that cancer patients and their families who use hospice services report a higher quality of life than those who don't.1 An interdisciplinary team of professionals brings hospice to the patient. The team looks at advanced-stage cancer from the point of view of both the patient and the patient's caregiver and other loved ones. The team consists of a physician, nurse, hospice aide, social worker, chaplain, volunteer and bereavement specialist.

Nearly 40 percent of those who seek hospice services in the United States are people facing advanced stages of cancer.2 Cancer patients receiving hospice care can take comfort knowing they are not alone on this journey and that every member of the hospice team is experienced in guiding people through the most challenging stage of the disease and their lives.
Cancer patients receive care based on their specific health issues and what they do and do not want in the healthcare they receive. Your status will be regularly evaluated and your plan of care will be continuously updated to meet your needs as your symptoms and condition change, even on a day-to-day basis.
Hospice offers the following services for patients with cancer:
Read more: What is Hospice?
-- Back to Top --
Taking care of a loved one with cancer can be emotionally draining and physically strenuous. Family caregivers make difficult healthcare and financial decisions as well as provide emotional support to others. Making the decision to stop medical treatment can bring about strong emotions; families feel overwhelmed. Hospice cares for families in several ways:
Whether you already know about hospice or are looking for information, you may not be fully aware of the benefits hospice care has for cancer patients and their loved ones. If you or a loved one is struggling through the advanced stages of cancer, hospice can offer:
Comfort and personal attention. Hospice provides one-on-one care and support to patients and families throughout this challenging chapter in their lives. We listen. We advocate. We work to improve quality of life.
Reduced rehospitalization. As the disease progresses, symptoms may worsen and many patients find themselves making frequent trips to the emergency room or enduring repeated visits to the hospital. Hospice reduces rehospitalization by controlling pain and managing symptoms in the patient's home.
Security. One of the greatest benefits of hospice is having clinical support whenever you need it. VITAS Telecare® assures clinical support around the clock. And VITAS gives families the training and resources they need to make a difference in their loved ones' lives.
Talking about the end of life can be difficult. Here are some tips to begin the conversation.
Education is key. Know as much about what to expect from hospice care as you can in order to dispel any apprehension your loved ones may feel. A good resource is Considering Hospice: A Discussion Guide for Families, available at HospiceCanHelp.com. You can also learn hospice basics in our "What is Hospice" series.
Determine what your loved one knows. Before bringing up hospice, make sure your loved ones have a clear understanding of your health status and your prognosis. People handle difficult information in different ways. If family members are not accepting or understanding of your prognosis, you might want to have a trusted physician, faith leader or friend speak with them on your behalf.
Discuss your goals for the future as well as theirs. As a patient, your greatest concern might be to live without pain, or to stay at home or not to be a burden. Ask your loved ones what their concerns are for the coming months, weeks and days. Explain that hospice is not giving up. It is an active choice to ensure that everyone's needs are met.
Take initiative. Remember, it's up to you to express your wishes. Sometimes, out of concern for your family's feelings, you might be reluctant to raise the issue of hospice care.
Learn as much as you can about hospice. Before you broach the subject to your loved one, educate yourself about hospice care and services. It's normal for a patient with a serious illness to be uncertain about hospice. They may have misconceptions. Reading "Considering Hospice: A Discussion Guide" at HospiceCanHelp.com will help you find the best way to begin the conversation.
Ask permission. Asking permission to discuss a difficult topic assures your loved one that you will respect their wishes and honor them. Say something like, "I would like to talk about how we can continue to ensure you get the very best care and attention as your condition progresses. Is that okay?"
Determine what is important to your loved one. Ask him or her to consider the future: "What are you hoping for in the coming days, weeks or months? What are you most concerned about?" The patient might express a desire not to be in pain, to be able to stay at home or to not become a burden.
Discuss hospice care as a means of fulfilling the patient's wishes. Now that your loved one has told you what is important to them, explain that hospice is a way of making sure wishes and desires are met. For some, the word hospice evokes a false notion of giving up. Explain that hospice is not about surrendering to their cancer or death. It is about bringing quality of life to their remaining months, weeks or days.
Assure the patient that they are in control. Hospice gives patients options: the option to remain in the comfort of their own home, the option to take advantage of emotional and spiritual support, the option to have their own doctor actively involved in their care, the option to live life as they wish. Reassure your loved one that you will honor their choices about what is important to them.
Be a good listener. Keep in mind that this is a conversation, not a debate. Hear what the other person is saying. Know that it is normal to encounter resistance the first time you talk about hospice care. But if you listen and understand your loved one's reasons for resisting, you will be prepared to address and ease their concerns in your next hospice discussion.

The maintenance shop and administrative offices at Iowa Speedway are beginning to resemble a springtime beehive, as central Iowa shakes off the winter doldrums and everyone is welcoming the arrival of warmer weather and yet another summertime racing season.
The staff is in high gear, preparing for an eighth action-packed season at "America's Place to Race," beginning with the Iowa Grand Motorcycle Rally on May 30 to June 2, and the level of activity around our track is intense, to say the least.
Observing the fast pace of my co-workers last week, I was amused at the thought of the classic line from the Wizard of Oz: "My, people come and go so quickly around here!" And there's a very good reason for that.
No doubt, protecting our facility from the ravages of an often brutal Iowa winter is a monumental task. But it is at least as time-consuming to "un-winterize" the facility and to repair and refurbish the structures around the track that have been affected by winter weather.
This includes the painting and coating of exterior walkways and stairwells, checking doorways and window seals and verifying the working condition of numerous other systems and fixtures. Hats off to our operations crew for the yeoman's work that they have already begun in earnest and will continue to do throughout the month of May ... and all the way through September, for that matter.
Most people don't have a clue about the level of "behind-the-scenes" work that goes into preparing for the events we put on at Iowa Speedway. So many details, from the scripting of pre-race ceremonies to Victory Lane logistics to security checkpoints and hours of operation, and the list continues far beyond those examples.
None of these tasks are accomplished on their own, or without careful and broad-based planning. So, we are very fortunate to have folks on our staff with both the experience and vision to get a myriad of jobs done in a timely manner. Procrastination is never a virtue and especially so in the motorsports entertainment business!
Meanwhile, the month of May is amazingly busy with events, and we're still more than 30 days out from our first major racing event, the DuPont Pioneer 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series weekend on June 7-8.
Here's a sampling of upcoming events at Iowa Speedway in May. As you can see, our dance card is getting pretty full this month:
• A major service organization's annual banquet in the Newton Club (May 2)
• A wedding and wedding reception in the Newton Club (May 4)
• Security Training in the Media Center (May 4)
• Three different tour groups visiting the entire facility (May 4, 16 and 24)
• Newton Chamber of Commerce breakfast in the Newton Club (May 9)
• NASCAR Fire Safety Training in the Media Center(May 10-13)
• Des Moines Valley Region SCCA races on the road course (May 17-19)
• Newton Rotary Club meeting in the Newton Club (May 21)
• A two-day driver training course in the parking lots and infield (May 22-23)
• Rusty Wallace Racing Experience on the oval (May 25-27)
• NASCAR Nationwide team — private testing on the oval (May 28)
• 2nd Annual Iowa Grand Motorcycle Rally on the concourse (May 30-June 2)
While most are private events, or limited to members of the organizations who booked the dates, at least three are open to the general public, meaning, "You're invited!"
The first will be the SCCA races on our 1.3-mile road course, which incorporates part of the 7/8-mile tri-oval with the right-and-left turning twisty bits on our infield. Designed by renowned road course specialist Alan Wilson, the Iowa Speedway course is perfect for the type of racing undertaken by the Des Moines Valley Region with their "double regional/double national" format.
The wheel-to-wheel action of the GroundPounders V-8 muscle cars and open wheel Wings Festival will showcase racecar drivers from around the Midwest, including many local drivers. SCCA club racing competition includes 28 National-level classes plus a number of Regional classes, ranging from open-wheel cars with wings and wide tires to lightly modified, small displacement production sedans and everything in between, plus a special teen street driving school on Saturday, will all be on tap.
For just $10, spectators can enter the infield through our tunnel and get up close to the road course racing action. You may log on to www.iowaspeedway.com/aspx/AboutSpeedway/News.aspx?id=1388 for more information, and then make your plans to be there.
Ever wanted to get behind the wheel of a NASCAR-style stock car on a real racetrack? Or maybe just sit "right seat" and let a professional take you on the ride of your life? You can do that on Memorial Day weekend (May 25-27) at Iowa Speedway when the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience comes to town. Or plan on a Ride-Along experience the day of our first NASCAR Nationwide Series race, the DuPont Pioneer 250, on Saturday, June 8. Details and pricing are available on the RWRE website, www.racewithrusty.com.
And that brings us to the end of May, and the you-gotta-see-it-to-believe-it biker lifestyle event that will kick off Iowa Speedway's big major event summer weekends. Thursday, May 30 through Sunday, June 2, the second annual Iowa Grand Motorcycle Rally will be in full swing, and anyone with either a bike or an interest in all things two-wheel should be on site.
In addition to special Saturday appearances by the star of FX Network's "Sons of Anarchy" series, Charlie Hunnam, the rally's entertainment line-up will include live musical acts, numerous food, beverage and merchandise vendors, bike displays, tattoos, burn-out and talent contests, motorcycle drag racing, lawnmower racing, body painting, and the ever-popular "Wall of Death" motorcycle daredevil show.
Everything you need to know about the Iowa Grand Motorcycle Rally is as easy as a click on your computer or smart phone to www.iowagrandrally.com. If a little "edgy" fun is on your radar screen this summer, the rally should be your first stop!
Hopefully, you have a much clearer picture about what we're up to at Iowa Speedway in the month of May and maybe a bit more appreciation for what it takes to do what we do, year after year. In any case, May is the month we rev it up for summer, and we hope you'll join us when you can.
In the meantime, Season Tickets, weekend passes and individual event tickets are still selling briskly. If you don't have yours yet, and you want to experience the all-out fun of Iowa Speedway this year, just log on to www.iowaspeedway.com, or call us at 866-RUSTY-GO (787-8946), and order yours today.
Or you can visit the Ticket Office in our administration building at 3333 Rusty Wallace Drive in Newton, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and check out our little "springtime beehive" for yourself!
In next month's edition of Track Talk (Newton Daily News, June 6), all the Stars and Cars of NASCAR's Nationwide Series and the IZOD IndyCar Series will come to life as we prepare to launch the 2013 racing season. Hey, it's your life... Rev it up at Iowa Speedway!

Baby Knows Best
When it comes to choosing a birthday, baby knows best.
By Debby Amis, RN, BSN, (DONA), LCCE, FACCE
Patience is truly a virtue after nine long months, especially when you're a few weeks or days from your extimated due date. The swollen feet, extra pounds and late-night bathroom trips can take their toll. Wouldn't it be easier to just schedule your baby's birth and get the show on the road?
Elective induction offers the satisfaction of knowing your baby's birth date in advance, but it might not go as planned. Sometimes women scheduled for induction are bumped from the hospital agenda because the staff is busy. Plus, induction doubles your risk of cesarean birth. The major risk of elective induction is that your baby may not be ready to be born. Experts agree that a normal pregnancy lasts between 38 and 42 weeks, and research indicates that the baby actually initiates the labor process. Once his lungs are fully mature, he releases a protein that tells his mother's body that it's time. A baby born even a few weeks early is at an increased risk for breathing problems, admission to special-care nurseries and breastfeeding difficulties.
Inductions & Interventions
An induction usually requires more interventions than a normal birth. You will need IV fluids and continuous electronic fetal monitoring, making you less mobile. Also, artificial contractions may peak sooner and be more intense than natural ones. You are therefore more likely to request an epidural, which increases your chances of needing forceps or vacuum assistance, developing a fever and/or requiring a cesarean section. Plus, the most common medication used for induction (Pitocin) interferes with the release of hormones that promote normal birth and breastfeeding.
Because of these risks, some hospitals do not offer or limit elective inductions. "It seems that, if we are too cavalier about inducing labor for the convenience of either the mother or the provider, we are ignoring the baby's essential contribution and asking him to participate even when he is not ready," says Biddy Fein, CNM, who attends births at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "We accept this as necessary when the risks of continuing pregnancy outweigh the benefits. But in all other circumstances, we should be respectful of nature's plan for the initiation of labor and the exquisite interplay between mother and baby."
Baby Makes the Date
If there are valid medical reasons for labor induction, your health care provider will discuss with you the benefits of immediate delivery versus continuing the pregnancy for the health of your baby. But if you are like the majority of women who do not have reasons for induction, the safest option for you and your baby is to wait for labor to begin on its own. Your baby may decide to come on his due date (although less than 10 percent of babies do), but you may want to plan for a later date in case your pregnancy does extend to 42 weeks.
If your pregnancy lasts longer than expected, try not to worry. Continue normal activities and remember that you are giving your baby the best start by allowing him to decide when he is ready to make his grand entrance into the world.

1st Year Students Corner
This section of the Wellness Web gives tips and experiences to
first year students from those who have survived the freshman
year and are now happy and productive students.
College Survival Tips
Making the Transition
The jump to college can be stressful. You're leaving behind your school, friends, family, and home, and going off to explore a new place, make new friends, learn new things, and set your own priorities.
Many students overlook the stress involved in making so many big changes in such a brief period of time. Here are some realities to consider, and a few common-sense ways to help you handle them:
A New Social Scene
Fitting in
It can be daunting to leave the security of family and friends. When going to college, students often must leave, or give up, one group (of family and friends) then accommodate and learn about a new group. It can be stressful to analyze new social norms, learn a new set of behaviors, and consider adopting a particular identity and group affiliation. The opportunities can be exhilarating and frustrating so the choices should not be made hastily. Neumann has a culture of inclusion, which supports reaching out to others who are different from you. New social opportunities (and pressures) abound, and suddenly, you discover you can recreate yourself in any way you want.
Your Strategy for Success
While forming new friendships can be exhilarating, true friendships are formed slowly, and the beginning of college can consequently be a lonely time. If you're unsure about participating in certain social scenes or activities, don't hesitate to seek guidance about the best ways to resist these pressures. Talk to parents, trusted friends from high school, your INT professor and/or the College Counselors at the Counseling Center for Wellness. Neumann is full of resources— in addition to professors, tutors, counselors, there are resident advisors, building Coordinators and Peer Educators. In college, it is up to you to initiate getting help. The good news is that once you do adjust to college life, it opens new doors to all sorts of learning—and living.
The Work Is Harder
Courses are at a higher level than high-school classes and the material is presented at a faster pace. Plus, professors are likely to assign more reading, writing, and problem sets than you're used to managing.
Your Strategy for Success
All first-year college students contend with this bend in the learning curve, so don't think having to struggle to keep up is somehow a failing on your part. Give yourself an opportunity to adjust gradually to the new academic demands. Choose a course load that includes some challenging classes and others that will be less intense.
You Make the Schedule
You are responsible for managing your time in college. If you cut classes and don't do assignments, no one will nag you. You may wish they had if it comes time for the final, and you don't know the material.
Your Strategy for Success
Buy a calendar and make sure you write down when and where your classes meet, when assignments are due, and when tests will take place. Give yourself ample time to study rather than waiting until the last minute and pulling an all-nighter.
More Independence—and Responsibility
You may not have the same day-to-day support system as you did in high school. For example, how will you manage your money and debt, especially when credit card companies are bombarding you with offers? Who is around to make sure you're not getting sick or run down? Factors like stress, late-night parties, and generally pushing yourself too hard can take a toll.
Your Strategy for Success
Don't always do what's easiest at the time. Make smart decisions. For example, when it comes to your money, stick to a budget and use credit cards wisely. When it comes to your health, get enough sleep, eat well, and pay attention to what your body tells you. You'll need energy to enjoy all that college has to offer.
Balancing Socializing and Working
College offers an assortment of opportunities for advancement and distraction -- there are so many potential friends, parties, courses, things to do, places to go. Not knowing what direction is best and not wanting to miss out on anything, students often try to be included in everything. Not a good idea!
Knowing when help is needed
Students often doubt their ability to handle their course work and may be bothered by new and unexpected feelings, precipitating a downward spiral. There is also an increased risk of certain disorders in the teen and young adult years (e.g. depression, manic depressive illness, and anorexia). Students may find themselves seeking out Neumann's Wellness Counseling center for the first time. The right help at the right time can prevent problems from snowballing. Choosing to address concerns is a sign of maturity and responsibility.
Top 10 Reasons College Students Leave/Drop-Out
- Too much fun at the expense of classes and grades
- A sense of not belonging; a sense of isolation, homesickness
- Academically unprepared; burned-out on education
- Financial constraints; low on funds
- Personal family issues
- Academic climate/fit
- Choice of wrong major; major not offered
- Lack of advising, guidance
- Demands from part-time or full-time employment
- Move to a different geographic location
What the College Student Can Do
Explore new interests, discover new places, and meet new people. These experiences contribute to college life, but getting an education should remain the student's foremost purpose.
Before committing to any one group or trend, students should take their time getting to know other students, investigating different activities, and deciding what makes them feel most comfortable. Affiliations change a great deal over the course of the first year as students become more knowledgeable and confident.
Participate and prioritize. No one can do everything. When students narrow their focus they often feel less overwhelmed. Finding a passion is one of the most exciting aspects of the college experience.
Personalize the experience. Even though Neumann is a friendly place, it's easy for students to feel lost in the crowd. Students who take responsibility for themselves by seeking out particular adults often have the best experience. Getting to know professors will personalize college and help the student feel connected. Reaching out to other students increases the feeling of belonging in yourself and in others.
Be patient. It takes time to understand the rhythm of a new academic life and for students to develop a personal learning/studying style. Over the first semester it becomes easier to understand the flow of work and realize how to accommodate different teachers' standards and course requirements.
Evaluate the fit. Assessing how expectations meet reality during the first year is a necessary process. Some disappointment or surprises are not unusual and may require some fine tuning; adjusting one's course load, changing majors, rethinking involvement in activities. Never ignore a problem. Both academic and emotional challenges are most successfully managed early.
Other Steps for Success
Go to all orientations. Do you really need to go on yet another campus tour? Yes. The faster you learn your way around campus -- and around all the red tape -- the more at ease you'll feel and the better prepared you'll be when issues arise. Neumann is a friendly place—ASK where something is.
Get to know your roommate and others in your residence hall. The people you live with, most of whom are going through similar experiences and emotions, are a safety net -- not only this year, but for all your years. You may change roommates after the first semester or you may stay roommates for all four years -- just take the time to get to know your fellow first-year students.
Get Organized. In high school, the teachers tended to lead you through all the homework and due dates. In college, the professors post the assignments -- often for the entire semester -- and expect you to be prepared. Buy an organizer, a PDA, a big wall calendar -- whatever it takes for you to know when assignments are due. Neumann professors are glad to help those who request it but the responsibility for your education is yours.
Find the ideal place for you to study. It may be your dorm room or a cozy corner of the library, but find a place that works best for you to get your work done -- while avoiding as many distractions as possible.
Go to class. Obvious, right? Maybe, but sleeping in and skipping that 8 am class will be tempting at times. Avoid the temptation. Besides learning the material by attending classes, you'll also receive vital information from the professors about what to expect on tests, changes in due dates, etc. If you are taking care of yourself and getting enough sleep, you will be able to make the early classes.
Become an expert on course requirements and due dates. Neumann Professors spend hours and hours preparing course syllabi and calendars so that you will know exactly what is expected of you -- and when. One of the lamest excuses a student can give a professor: "I didn't know it was due today."
Meet with your professors. There are only upsides to getting to know your professors, especially if later in the semester you run into some snags. Professors schedule office hours for the sole purpose of meeting with students -- take advantage of that time.
Get to know your academic advisor and your INT teacher. These are people who will help you with course conflicts, adding or dropping courses, scheduling of classes for future semesters, getting past social and relational issues. Advisors are the key resource for you -- and should be the person you turn to with any academic issues or conflicts. The Counseling Center for Wellness is a key resource for relational, emotional etc. issues.
Seek a balance. College life is a mixture of social and academic happenings. Don't tip the balance too far in either direction. "Study hard so you can play hard."
Get involved on campus. A big problem for a lot of new students is a combination of homesickness and a feeling of not quite belonging. A solution? Consider joining a select group of student organizations, clubs, or sports teams. Neumann has various and diverse activities where you will make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your school. It's ok to feel uncomfortable in reaching out and getting to know people. Your classmates feel this too even if they don't show it.
Strive for good grades. Another obvious one here, right? While good grades could have come naturally to you in high school, you will have to earn them in college -- and that means setting some goals for yourself and then making sure you work as hard as you can to achieve them.
Take advantage of the study resources on campus. Neumann has a learning lab and tutors available. If you're having some troubles, these resources are another tool available to you. Another idea: form study groups in the dorm, Counseling Center or Café. Learning together can be fun and beneficial to all.
Make time for you. Be sure you set aside some time and activities that help you relax and take the stress out of your day or week. Whether it's enlisting yoga techniques, watching your favorite television shows, walking the Labyrinth, or writing in a journal, be good to yourself. Reflection settles us down and helps us evaluate our day.
Don't feel pressured to make a hasty decision about a career or a major. It doesn't matter if it seems as though everyone else knows what they're doing with their lives -- they don't. College is the time for you to really discover who you are, what you enjoy doing, and what you want to be. It's not a race; take your time and enjoy exploring your options.
Take responsibility for yourself and your actions. Don't look to place the blame on others for your mistakes; own up to them and move on. Being an adult means taking responsibility for everything that happens to you.
Make connections with students in your classes. One of the best techniques in the first week of classes is to meet at least one new person in each of your classes. It expands your network of friends -- and is a crucial resource at times if you have to miss a class.
Find the Career Services Office. Regardless of whether you are entering college as undeclared or have your entire future mapped out, seek out the wonderful professionals in your Neumann's career services office and get started on planning, preparing, and acting on your future.
Don't procrastinate; prioritize your life. It may have been easy in high school to wait until the last minute to complete an assignment and still get a good grade, but that kind of stuff will not work for you in college. Give yourself deadlines -- and stick to them.
Stay healthy/Eat Right and Get Enough Sleep. A lot of problems first-year students face can be traced back to an illness that kept them away from classes for an extended period of time that led to a downward spiraling effect. Get enough sleep (7-8 hours/ night) take your vitamins, and eat right. If you haven't heard the jokes about college food, you soon will. And without mom or dad there to serve you a balanced meal, you may be tempted to go for those extra fries or cookies. Stay healthy and avoid the dreaded extra "Freshman 15" pounds by sticking to a balanced diet.
Learn to cope with homesickness. It's only natural that there will be times when you miss your family, even if you were one of those kids who couldn't wait to get away. Find a way to deal with those feelings, (Counseling Center, Peer Educators - W.E.) can help as well as making a phone call or sending some email home. Don't hesitate to chat with someone in the Counseling Center, a LISN student, or a favorite teacher.
Stay on campus as much as possible. Whether it's homesickness, a job, or a boyfriend or girlfriend from home, try not to leave campus too soon or too often. The more time you spend on getting to know the campus and your new friends, the more you'll feel at home at school. And why not take advantage of all the cultural and social events that happen on campus?
Seek professional help when you need it. If you're sick or feeling isolated or depressed, please take advantage of the many services the Counseling Center for Wellness provides students. They are there solely to support you. You don't have to face these issues by yourself. And a sign of a responsible adult is seeking the help one needs on their journey.
Keep track of your money. If you've never had to create a budget, now is the time to do so. Find ways to stretch your money - and as best you can, avoid all those credit card solicitations you'll soon be receiving. The average credit card debt of college grads is staggering.
Don't cut corners. College is all about learning. If you procrastinate and cram, you may still do well on tests, but you'll learn very little. Neumann highly values integrity, so don't cheat on term papers or tests. Being a healthy adult means accepting consequences for mistakes and being responsible.
Be prepared to feel overwhelmed. There's a lot going in your life right now. Expect to have moments where it seems a bit too much. As one student says, "be prepared to feel completely unprepared." The trick is knowing that you're not the only one feeling that way.
Final Words of Advice
College is a time to grow physically, intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally. Your faculty, staff and the counselors at the Counseling Center for Wellness encourage you to take this opportunity to become the best person you can be, one who is happy, productive, and gives back to society.

I am thinking about getting a new surf kite for the upcoming spring. Specifically, I want to get a 5m as I already have a 7m Switch Method v1, and that kite is a bit too powerful once it starts to average 25 mph (I am 145 lbs). One thing which I dislike about the v1, is that it is pretty tricky for me to surf right hand waves at waddell. When I setup to turn in into the wave, the kite races to the side of the window and generates a lot of pull. However once it gets to the side of the window, it loses most of the power and it becomes very hard to control and initiate the transition to the other side so that I can slap the wave and start going the other way.
With my 2009 Cab cross bow I found that it was much easier to surf right handers. Even though the kite is slower and has a less direct feel, it was pretty easy to make controlled transitions: keep kite sort of high and transition from left to right and right to left at a medium pace.
So I suspect that with the method v1, the kite is moving too fast making me loose the edge and thus the lines develop slack, making it hard to initiate a new transition. Also, once the kite gets moving, sheeting out doesn't produce as much of an effect as on my older Cab, compounding the problem. So I am curious if method v2 is less brutal and is more controllable.

Mudslide Missing Down to Six as Death Toll Rises
The number of people missing in the massive Washington state landslide has dropped to six.
The Snohomish County sheriff's office said Wednesday it has removed one name from the missing list. Earlier Wednesday, officials announced that the death toll had risen to 39.
The Snohomish County medical examiner's office said it was identifying the three bodies most recently discovered and notifying families. They could be among those listed as missing, but officials didn't say if one of them led to the list being whittled down.
Incident management team spokeswoman Koshare Eagle says one body was found Monday and two were found Tuesday in the southeast corner of the debris field where the Corps of Engineers erected a berm last week.

Petition for ingredients declaration on alcoholic beverages
Within the EU, manufacturers of alcoholic beverages do not need to tell you what they have put into the bottle. All other food and beverages, on the other hand, must have detailed ingredients lists. In wine, for example, the manufacturers can use some 60 different additives and other substances, without them being declared on the bottle. It all comes down to an EU decision in 1979 where they failed to decide the labelling rules for alcoholic beverages. And since then, they have left things...

Life feels a little bit overwhelming. There's just so much going on right now. At school I just got some awesome new equipment that makes me love teaching again. I'm swamped in a good way with wedding photos to edit for my photography business. At home we're still wading through the terribly dramatic twos. My sister's getting married soon. Sometimes I feel a little bit dizzy from everything -like that feeling of spinning around until the world looks like a blur. It's a happy but stressful way to live. The days just sort of blur together.
So I've been trying to step back from the chaos. Bri and I have been going for bike rides after school. Hubster and I have been chilling on the couch when I would normally be absorbed by the computer. And I've made an effort to reconnect with my girl friends. It's been so nice to slow down again and enjoy life.
