"Everyone Knows Someone Who Needs This Information!" (TM)
If you are having trouble losing weight, and keeping it off, then keep reading! If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, keep reading! The newest nutritional research is showing there's about a 90% chance that this problem is being caused by a deficiency in an essential nutrient (because there's not enough coming from your dietary choices or you are eating antagonists which deplete it).
Often, knowledgeable clinicians find that up to 90% of their overweight clients (especially women) are lacking in iodine and iodide (our body needs both forms), and when the problem is corrected properly, the people lose weight and often keep it off, usually permanently.
Your thyroid gland, which orchestrates your metabolism, needs Iodine to function. Period. If you do not get enough good Iodine through safe food, then you will start absorbing the toxic, radioactive forms of iodine from the nuclear industry, which is rampant in our environment. Most of us are already absorbing this bad form (Isotope 131) because we don't get enough of the safe form (Isotope 127).
Read the other parts of this series which are available in the Archive, (accessed on the upper Navigation Bar). They are listed on page 3. Get caught up now. I will move forward in this lesson, which is just a very brief summary of the last 8 and a little new information, before I add more next week.
It's imperative to understand Iodine, as its proper use helps all diabetics and corrects MANY other critical, chronic dis-eases, in all people.
Every cell in your body, and every organ-system, needs its quota of Iodine, not just your thyroid gland. Most of us are severely Iodine depleted, even if we are not showing up with goiters. I say that, because many scientists think that the daily requirement is set too low to begin with.
Paleo-anthropologists studying ancient humankind have long since known that their diet was very rich in seafood — which is a prime source of iodine. Ancients tribes definitely clung to the coast and lived from ocean food for millions of years. Those countries whose peoples still eat copious amounts of seafood — fish, crustaceans or seaweed — in their diets are usually the healthiest peoples on our planet and are the slimmest, like the long-lived Okinawans.
Dr. Guy Abraham, MD's research shows that we need 50 mg a day for proper metabolic efficiency instead of only the .15mg RDA! He's the world's expert on Iodine.
He uses a safe, consistent, non-radioactive, inorganic, stable form of Iodine as well as a new iodide identical with Lugol solution (which has been used for 180 years, but is foul-tasting). His better-tasting Iodine supplement is called Iodoral. BUT, before starting any supplementation program, you must get a baseline reading of your Iodine status and be followed by your doctor.
Eating Iodine-rich foods is a less problematical approach, but if you are on Warfarin or Coumadin, even food sources need to be monitored until you consistently balance iodine-rich foods (amount and frequency) with your medication.
Be patient; it takes a long time (usually many. many months) to come up to optimal levels. In the proper amounts, Iodine becomes "an adaptogen" — a substance which balances your biochemistry, intuitively, knowing just what it needs.
Bromine, another member of the same chemical family as Iodine (the Halogen Family of elements) takes over your vital receptors meant for Iodine. This means you cannot absorb enough Iodine if the receptors are being used by harmful Bromine (which is found in Gatorade, flours and bakery goods – those using using brominated, "enriched" flours). Other halogens, Chlorine and Fluorine (fluoride, most often from tap-water and dental treatments) cause the same problems! Read more about this in Part 2.
This thyroid epidemic is actually much worse, as mainstream medicine's blood "tests" do NOT truly show the problem. Even so, some endocrinologists say 1 in 4 women have over-active or under-active thyroids. Women are much more at risk because female thyroids are automatically twice as large as males', so women need much more Iodine in their diet! And, diabetic women can have a double-whammy, so are likely to need Iodine, for sure.
And, stress, for anyone, also creates the need for yet more dietary Iodine.
Seaweeds are a very potent source of Iodine in food. Seaweed's good Iodine isotope 127 is also protective, to prevent you absorbing the toxic Iodine isotope 131. Seventy years ago, the average American ate 500 – 800 micrograms of Iodine a day in their usual diet. In 1995, the average American only ate 135 micrograms!
Use only Organic Seaweeds, and eat none at all from Chinese sources. Get your seaweed only from reliable sources, from people who harvest them in the cleanest waters possible. Learn more in Part 2.
Parts 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 contain recipes to start understanding ways to use sea vegetables which are filled with healing polysaccharides.
I believe that Seaweed is really the Foundational Food of Life.
Sea vegetables are low glycemic, high nutrition foods which have no calories and have lots of fiber; they have wonderful mineral content, along with great, clean taste. But they must be harvested from pristine, pure waters, and only a few places on our planet qualify. None are in Chinese waters; so do not use their products; assays show levels of arsenic from pollution and their use of the term "Organic" is suspicious at best. If it is labeled Organic, from other countries like Japan and the United States, then trust it.
Introduce your children to this pH alkaline, life-giving food, too. Start them on better habits than you had. There are lots of ready-made Japanese snacks which incorporate seaweed.
Don't overdo it; if you are using powdered Japanese seaweed (kombu, is the most likely seaweed you'll find this way), then one teaspoon of a powdered seaweed is equivalent to eating a whole plate of seaweed. It takes about 40 pounds of seaweed to make one pound of powdered product. So, a serving of 1/4t every few days is a good way to start, in my opinion. It is important not to overdose, for a variety of reasons explained in the longer lessons.
Iodine is critical for pregnant women, lactating women, babies in utero and babies and children under 4 years old (the 1/4t is too much for small children — they need some most days, just a tiny pinch or so, after they stop getting breast milk). Or, a little second-water soup (see instructions 5 paragraphs below).
Thyroid hormone and your thyroid gland, together with iodine, are the most important factors by far for completion of a normal pregnancy and delivering a normal baby.
The science on all of this is very clear, and you need to read it in the series, and Part 4 lists the labs to contact for your Iodine level assessment.
Unless your food happens to be organically-farmed where seaweed actually has been applied as fertilizer, almost no land plants provide iodine.
People who have sea vegetables most days, like the Japanese and Okinawans, and other Asians who eat much more seaweed than the rest of the world does, apparently soak their Kombu and other Kelp seaweeds in freshwater for 10-30 minutes prior to using in miso broth (dashi) and other cooking. This effectively removes about 60% of the iodine (called "Hazutosi" in Japanese). This second-water soup will still provide lots of Iodine, and it is important not to use too much seaweed daily per person, as it is possible to overdose. This is the way the Asians protect themselves from overdose, or they use Nori, a seaweed which contains much less Iodine as their more frequent daily source.
Nori is the seaweed used for sushi wraps. A few cuts of nori added as a garnish to their rice also does the trick. The Welsh know this seaweed as "Laver" and they have used it for generations. Nori is actually a general word which describes a group of marine oceanic plants which were once gathered from the wild, centuries ago, and are now "cultivated" in the sea. The origin of Nori cultivation can be traced back to ancient China and Japan around the 8th century.
Kelp, wakame ans kombu all have very high Iodine counts and so are used in the second-water technique, or in tiny amounts or just weekly or so.
Use Japanese and Okinawan food patterns and portions as your guide. Dr. Tunis Hunt, DC suggests: For an adult, the dose is about 5 grams a day or about one ounce per week, so a pound of dry seaweed would last about two months.
Reaching correct Iodine levels in your body may result in cure or vast improvement or lessened need for medication for many chronic diseases, so do this under your doctor's supervision.
Sea vegetables have been harvested for food and medicine for thousands of years; in fact, early records show the Chinese used aquatic plants for medicinal purposes as early as 3,000 B.C.
Kombu can help regulate blood sugar.
Wakame has long been an important source of high-quality protein, lipids, minerals (such as calcium), and vitamins A, B1, B2 and C in many Asian food cultures, especially as most Asians have severe lactose intolerance, so dairy calcium sources were never used by them.
The amount of Iodine put in "iodized" salt or which is in my favorite whole sea salts is NOT enough. The naturally-occurring Iodine in sea water is concentrated within the seaweeds and sea veggies, so they become a nutritious source for us and for ocean fish (which also help us get Iodine when we eat them).
Packets of Eden Foods AGAR-AGAR // KANTEN are easy to find in health stores. This product is made from tegusa seaweed and it is tasteless and is not eaten in its own right. Instead, it is boiled and its extract is used as a gelling agent for vegetarian "Jello" instead of animal-based gelatin.
Kanten is rich in fiber, but has zero calories. It is also believed to help lower cholesterol and blood pressure. You will find many recipes for its use in Macrobiotic cookbooks, and the food industry uses agar-agar and carrageenan (another seaweed product) in many foods. Read the labels and you'll be surprised at how often you have already been eating seaweed!
There are some new seaweed sources. Personally, I am interested in Seagreens® which are harvested during the short Arctic summer, in an archipelago of remote conservation islands (which stretches more than 100 miles (180 kms) off the coast of Norway). This habitat produces dense shallow-water Wrack seaweeds with an outstanding nutritional profile.
It is very important to have a pH alkaline body. Each cell needs to be pH alkaline to work optimally. Seaweed is one of the most alkaline foods on the planet, but the typical Western diet is very acid-provoking.
Now, here's another recipe to help introduce seaweeds to your family. This one uses Eden Foods agar-agar flakes.
From veganlunchbox.blogspot.com
Using agar alone makes a rubbery jell. If you add some starch it makes a more delicate jell.
4C sweet fruit juice of choice
OPTIONAL: a small amount of agave nectar if juice isn't sweet enough
pinch of sea salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla or other flavoring , if desired
2 tsp. agar powder (OR 1/4C agar flakes) – Eden Foods
1 T cornstarch dissolved in 1 T. water
OPTIONAL: fresh fruit to add to jell
Sprinkle the agar over the juice (with sweetener, salt and any flavoring). Let soak a few minutes. Then cook over medium heat until boiling. Agar powder just needs to simmer for a minute; flakes should simmer at least 5 minutes. Add dissolved starch and stir in. Boil for 30 seconds.
Pour into a bowl or small bowls. Place in refrigerator. When half-jelled, you can stir in fruit. Let set until firm and cold.

A Sharia Court ll in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, on Tuesday, remanded a businesswoman, Zainab Muhammad of Kano Road, Kaduna, for biting her friend on the finger and calling her derogatory names.
The judge, Murtala Nasir, gave Ms Muhammad an option of bail by a reliable surety who would deposit N70,000 to the court if he failed to bring the defendant back to court.
The defendant, however, pleaded guilty and prayed for leniency.
The judge adjourned the case until July 23, for the nominal complainant to recuperate and to deliver a final judgment.
Earlier, the police counsel, Aliyu Ibrahim, told the court that the nominal complainant, Jummai Babangida, of Katsina Road, Kaduna, reported the case to the Magajin Gari police division, Kaduna.
"On July 7, the nominal complaint, Jummai, reported to the Magajin Gari police division that on the same day at about 8 p.m. when she was passing by Afocados Street, Zainab attacked and began to beat her.
"She called her a witch, beat her up and bit her on the right finger, inflicting injuries on her body and threatening that she would deal with her again if she sets her eyes on her again.
"This offence has contravened sections 232, 137, 216 and 200 of the Kaduna state penal code law and it is punishable under section 377, 371, 242 and 218 of the Kaduna state penal code," the police counsel said.

LOS ANGELES — A project that includes a pair of residential skyscrapers in the parking lot behind the Hollywood Palladium was approved March 22 by the Los Angeles City Council, but opponents were quick to announce plans to sue to block the development.
The project's developer, Crescent Heights, is planning to build 731 residential units, which could range from studios to three-bedroom apartments spread out between two towers of up to 30 stories each, with some commercial and retail space on the ground floor.
The project, at 6215 Sunset Blvd., would be built on a 3.6-acre site that takes up a block bounded by Selma, Argyle and El Centro avenues, minus an area taken up by an existing business on the northwest corner.
Crescent Heights' $320 million construction plan includes preservation of the existing Hollywood Palladium concert venue.
The council approved the project on a 12-0 consent vote, in the process denying an appeal by the project's neighbor, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which sought to delay the project.
Opponents have objected to the size and density of the project, saying it is inappropriate for the area.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation is a leading proponent of a proposed ballot measure — targeted for the March 2017 ballot — aimed at halting similarly large projects that require amendments to zoning and planning rules for the area.
Foundation President Michael Weinstein said the nonprofit plans to sue "to block the Palladium Residences project from going forward."
He characterized the project as "yet another flagrant example of the 'pay to play' culture infecting Los Angeles involving developers, the City Council, the planning department and City Hall."
"If Mayor [Eric] Garcetti is really serious about cracking down on spot zone variances and exemptions, he should override the council and veto this project," Weinstein said.
Aaron Green, a spokesman for Crescent Heights and vice president of a lobbyist firm, called any threats of a lawsuit "simply frivolous."
"The Palladium Residences was unanimously approved by the city Planning Commission and City Council, and Councilmember Gil Cedillo has called it a 'model project,'" Green said. "The Palladium Residences has more than 3,500 supporters and provides desperately needed housing at rates regular people can afford."
Numerous supporters from nearby schools and business groups, as well as some residents, urged a City Council committee last week to approve the project, saying it would help with a shortage of housing in Los Angeles.
Some also refuted worries of increased traffic, noting that the residential units will be built near public transit, including a Red Line station.
Planning officials also said in a report that the height and density of the towers would be "similar in scale to the existing office building to the west and the under-construction Columbia Square residential tower to the east."

Announcement of Shift To Greatness Bike Trek 2017 Press Conference
"It is time to move beyond the injustices of yesterday to the greatness of tomorrow." — William Owens
LAS VEGAS, NV, October 25,2017 | TruthPR.com | — William Owens, Poet and Author of 13 books, is rallying Las Vegas city pastors and the local "Church" body to lead the charge for a Shift to Greatness Throughout America.
William Owens, Jr, is about to undertake a massive personal journey to stir the conscience of Americans back to greatness.
It's called The Shift to Greatness Bike Trek.
The bike trek will depart from the recently created "Memorial Garden for the Fallen" in Las Vegas following
the Press Conference on Tuesday, November 7, 2017.
Details are as follows:
WHERE: Memorial Garden for the Fallen
LOCATION: Corner of Casino Center and Charleston Boulevards, Las Vegas NV
WHAT: Selected speakers will make a comment, William Owens, Jr will moderate
William Owens, Jr.
Eric Owens
Mike Ruffalo
Jay Treichel, founder of Summerlin Lifetime Cycle with over 700 members Las Vegas will also accompany Elizabeth Miller.
Others To Be Announced
Mike Ruffalo started his own business. It's called Elephant Balloons. It all started as a way for him to pay for the things he wanted. "So I can make more money," he said. "So I can put some of it into my video games and the rest to college." At the tender age of 10, he is what "Shifting to Greatness" is all about Owens' said.
Bicycling between 50 and 75 miles per day, Owens will cross the western U.S. along the Southern Route stopping at colleges, churches, and events where he has been hosted as well as talking with complete strangers about greatness.
Owens' goal is to cause people to recognize that we must shift from the pain of the past to the promise of greatness for all Americans. Through Forgiveness empowered by God's grace we can heal and experience a full and abundant life for ourselves and being a catalyst for others.
Owens begins the first phase of his trek this month starting November 7th from Las Vegas and ends it over 300 miles later, in Phoenix, Arizona on around November 12 at the first Shift to Greatness Rally.
"The Shift to Greatness theme core message is to move beyond the pain of the past," Owens said. "For some African-Americans it has been slavery, racial injustice, inequality. For other ethnic groups, and even within the African American community, it has been similar and specific issues of pain. However, on a personal level, we all have suffered a painful past. Be it divorce, emotional abuse, child abuse or being taken advantage of unfairly at some point in our life. The most difficult part of the pain of the past, is when we fail to forgive ourselves whether or not we realize it."
Owens said, "My mission is to create a deep desire within the hearts of people to pursue the greatness that God has placed within them and to allow that hope to inspire them to want the same for others.

(It was either this or a picture of the guy who did "Informer")
Et tu, Staten Island Chuck? On the very same day that New York City's own weather-predicting groundhog got legal representation to protect his name and likeness (a story which raises such important questions as "Does anyone at the Staten Island Zoo realize that 'Charles G. Hogg' sounds a lot like 'Charles Jihad' and "Don't Quinnipiac pollsters have anything better to do?"), the small mammal had his own incompetence proven. Despite his prediction that we get an early spring, the NYC-area was hit a blizzard which forced the city's public schools to close to due snow for the first time in five years.
Of course, having that day off allows people to perhaps catch up on some chores, take a mid-afternoon nap, spend a good chunk of the day watching Spongebob Squarepants, or making a new podcast. (Ed. Note: I did three of the four.)

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of
short-term treatment with sildenafil citrate in men
with serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI)-associated
erectile dysfunction (ED).
Method: Men (aged > = 18 years) with
major depressive disorder (MDD; DSM-IV criteria)
in remission and taking SRIs who experienced SRI-associated ED were enrolled in this multicenter,
6-week, randomized, flexible-dose, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The primary study
measures were questions 3 (Q3: frequency of
penetration) and 4 (Q4: frequency of maintained
erections after penetration) of the International Index
of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire.
Secondary study measures were all other questions and
domains of the IIEF, the Erectile Dysfunction
Index of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS), a global
efficacy questionnaire (GEQ), and a patient-maintained event log of sexual activity.
Results: Patients receiving sildenafil
(N = 71) versus placebo (N = 71) reported
significantly higher mean ± SE scores on Q3 (3.9 ± 0.2
vs. 3.1 ± 0.2, p = .003) and Q4 (3.7 ± 0.2 vs.
2.8 ± 0.2, p < .001) of the IIEF and significantly higher
scores on all domains of the IIEF. Patients receiving
sildenafil also reported significantly improved
scores on all questions of the EDITS questionnaire (p < .02) and the GEQ (p < .0001) and an
increased number of successful sexual intercourse
attempts per week (p < .0001) compared with patients
receiving placebo. All patients remained in MDD
remission (score < = 10 on the Hamilton Rating Scale
for Depression). Adverse events in patients taking sildenafil (vs. placebo) were headache (9% vs.
9%), dyspepsia (9% vs. 1%), anxiety (6% vs. 4%),
and abnormal vision (3% vs. 0%).
Conclusions: Short-term (6-week)
administration of sildenafil was well tolerated and
significantly improved erectile function and
overall sexual satisfaction in men with ED associated
with SRI therapy for MDD. Sildenafil may be
successfully used to treat SRI-associated ED without
interruption of antidepressant therapy.

Thanks to this writing prompt for the idea for today's post.
I have a bad habit that I've been trying to break for almost my whole life. I've tried to quit numerous times. I'm hoping by writing this down here I can hold myself more accountable and actually stick to quitting!
For as long as I can remember, I've bitten my nails. I do it when I'm bored, nervous, anxious, not paying attention- you name it. It's gross. I know it's gross. I even see other people doing it and think it looks gross. Not to mention I could probably have avoided several sicknesses in my life just by keeping my hands out of my mouth!
I'd like nothing more than pretty fingernails- and hands that don't hurt from the chewing they receive on a daily basis (see- gross!)
So, I'm planning on painting my nails and stocking up on chewing gum. The combination of the two seems to give me the best chance at quitting. Throw a little evening knitting into the mix, and hopefully by the end of this month I can have some normal looking fingernails again.
And if you happen to see me with my fingers in my mouth, just slap my hand away, OK?

May 14 (GMM) Renault now has the least impressive power unit in Formula 1.
That is not the view of field leaders Mercedes and Ferrari, but of Honda's F1 chief Masashi Yamamoto.
"With the help of Red Bull and Toro Rosso, we are in better shape than Renault at the moment," the Japanese told Speed Week.
"But I do not think we are far ahead of them."
But Honda wants to change that, with the next upgrade set to hit the track in the summer.
"We have to work hard to increase power while maintaining reliability at a high level," said Yamamoto.
"That requires a lot of development work, but without that it is difficult to catch up."
He said Honda is being "careful" with its development budget, without giving up its ambition to finally win again.
"For Honda, the goal is always to win," he said.
"So far we have focused on balancing horse power and reliability, and I think we definitely need more horse power now," added Yamamoto.
"So we need to keep our heads down and improve."

Been thinking about a scripture recently (Alma 32):
13 And now, because ye are compelled to be humble blessed are ye; for a man sometimes, if he is compelled to be humble, seeketh arepentance; and now surely, whosoever repenteth shall find mercy; and he that findeth mercy and bendureth to the end the same shall be saved.
14 And now, as I said unto you, that because ye were compelled to be ahumble ye were blessed, do ye not suppose that they are more blessed who truly humble themselves because of the word?
15 Yea, he that truly humbleth himself, and repenteth of his sins, and endureth to the end, the same shall be blessed—yea, much more blessed than they who are compelled to be humble because of their exceeding poverty.
16 Therefore, blessed are they who ahumble themselves without being bcompelled to be humble; or rather, in other words, blessed is he that believeth in the word of God, and is baptized without cstubbornness of heart, yea, without being brought to know the word, or even compelled to know, before they will believe.
That very last phrase is an intriguing one but that's for another post. Today I've been mulling over the humility bit. It implies that at first, we are given the chance to be humble of our own accord. If we don't, we are 'compelled'. In this case, it's the poverty of the people to whom Alma is speaking, but I think it can be applied more generally. In any case, there's only one way to 'compel someone to be humble' and that is by humiliation.
Now that word usually makes you think of fraternity/sports team initiations or having your trousers pulled down in public or suchlike, but the base idea is of an external force overwhelming you in such a way that you are unable to deny that force's supremacy. In the Zoramites' case, it was the injustice of their society, but it needn't be something public or even recognisable by anyone else. At some point, and in some way, it will be forcefully demonstrated to you that you are not all-powerful, or all-knowing, or whatever. That you are not 'all that'! The question is what happens next. Will you get mad and kick out and blame God for your troubles, or will you look to see the lessons that can be gained from your experience?
The closest analogy I can think of is if you're playing a sport and you lose badly. You can spend your time blaming the conditions or the referee, or you can go back to training and improve your game. And that decision makes all the difference.

That Monument to Vast and Idle Wealth (29 images)
It's one of the silliest buildings in Los Angeles - the Beverly Hills City Hall, 1931-32, by William J. Gage and Harry G. Koerner - a baroque Spanish Renaissance tour de force. It has a history. In 1923, Beverly Hills was threatened by a proposal to annex it to the City to Los Angeles, but local residents Will Rogers and Mary Pickford mobilized local voters. They kept their little city, and Will Rogers became the honorary mayor of Beverly Hills forever. He pushed for years to have this thing...

Interesting to see that our local fort is trying to find the Wapping Mole – see photo below.
Unfortunately as this photo was taken by Moley they might have been looking in the wrong place.
Rumour has it that Moley is digging out Lutfur's secrets far away in… well, somewhere far away.

Not so much, Yglesias notes:
Next time you read an article about the behavioral response to marginal tax rates on high income earners, I would urge you to refer back to JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's fine whine that "most of us wage earners are paying 39.6 percent in taxes and add in another 12 percent in New York state and city taxes and we're paying 50 percent of our income in taxes."I would also note that, as far as I can tell, no one is forcing Mr. Dimon to live in New York. Connecticut has a lower max (6.5% vs. 8.97% in NY/NJ).
The thing about this is that the actual top marginal income tax rate is 35 percent. The entire debate in congress over taxes is that President Obama wants to restore the top marginal rate to the level that Dimon thinks it already is. Meanwhile, Dimon doesn't even know what tax rate he pays. Just saying.

Maybe you don't know Tavi Gevinson. Maybe you never read about her in The New York Times. Maybe you never saw her with Jimmy Fallon on Late Night. Maybe you weren't there when Lady Gaga called her "the future of journalism."
Maybe no one told you how Tavi started a blog about fashion, about how it became so popular that when she launched her next website, its servers overheated on the very first day.
Maybe you didn't hear that she's just begun her senior year at Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Illinois.
Or that she started that blog, "The Style Rookie," when she was 11 years old.
Tavi Gevinson is not your typical teen blogger. But she's not one-of-a-kind, either. Teens can be found blogging on almost every subject, on every continent on earth.
Tavi did it. They're doing it. Here's why you might want to join those blogging hordes yourself—that is, if you haven't already.
I blog therefore I am
A blog is nothing more than a website—a website you control. Which means your blog can be anything you want it to be. It can be an online diary of whatever pops into your head, like 16-year old Kelly's blog. Or a one-track-mind-chronicle of whatever you like, like 15-year-old Gloson's blog. Or just about anything else you can imagine (like this, from 18-year-old aspiring Top Chef Jeremy Salamon).
Your blog might be the proverbial tree falling in the forest—the one no one hears. Or it might be the next Rookie Magazine. In a way, it doesn't matter. Because when you blog, you write. When you write, you think. When you write what you think, your thoughts become clearer and more focused.
In other words, blogging is all about communicating. When you blog, you practice communicating. When you become skilled at communicating, the world is yours.
In a recent nationwide survey, a staggering 98 percent of employers listed "communication skills"—the ability to convey ideas to others—as the number one qualification for new hires. They even ranked this ahead of "having a positive attitude" or "having teamwork skills."
The reason: According to Dan Schawbel, founder of Millennial Branding, employers think "hard skills"—for example, the ability to use a particular software program, like Photoshop—can be learned, and learned quickly. But the ability to communicate is something that can only be cultivated over time.
Start blogging, and you start cultivating.
Where to start
You can only build those chops the old-fashioned way: By thinking about something, taking the time to explain what you're thinking about—why it's important to you, and why you think it might be important to your reader—in 400, or 500, or 800 words. And then by doing it over and over…and over again.Tumblr and Pheed are popular for "micro-blogging." But sorry, micro-blogging—little info-blasts that aren't much different than Twitter tweets or Facebook posts—just isn't real blogging. Micro-blogging won't help you build the communications chops you'll need if you want to take over the world, either.
For the kind of blogging action that will set you on your way to becoming a communications heavyweight, head over to Weebly (easiest), or to Google's Blogger, or to WordPress.org (hardest to learn but most powerful). At any of these sites, you'll be able to get your own blog page up and running for free. And at Blogger, you can even run ads on your site and, just maybe, make some coin.
A word of warning
What happens on the internet, stays on the internet. Forever. It's there for you to see. For your friends and family to see. For college admissions officers and employers to see.
Forever and ever.
Which means if you want to say something that you don't want everyone in the world to see, you probably don't want to say it on your blog—even if you think no one will ever read your blog, or that no one will really care too much about your opinions on anything. Apparently, that's what Shelle Hale thought, and look what happened to her. Oops.
And, if you're under the age of 18, it goes without saying (but we'll say it anyway): Check with your parents (or legal guardian) before you launch your internet empire. When you put yourself on the internet, you step into all that's great and, sometimes, not-so-great, on this crazy planet of ours. So bring your parents in on this. You'll be glad you did.

Electric Lady
Taste & Smell
Pairs Well With
About this Hybrid Strain
Electric Lady is a hybrid cannabis strain that can only be described as a citrus rush because of its onset of effects, aroma, and flavor. Its a strain for those who love a good wake and bake session. Electric Lady is what it says it is, electric! Electric Lady's lineage and history are currently unknown at the moment.
Bright green tightly packed and dense buds are what users should expect when opening up a package of Electric Lady. The light layer of trichomes and little left over moisture content makes these buds easy to breakdown, even by hand but a grinder is always recommended to preserve trichome structure, thus preserving THC content.
Electric Lady offers a very strong and robust citrus flavor and aroma. Almost instantly, you feel as if you just had freshly squeezed orange juice. Its aroma and flavors can probably be traced back to its high Limonene content. Upon exhale you can expect earthy and piney notes that tingle the taste buds.
Most reviewers can attribute these strong citrus aromas and flavors to dominant sativa and sativa leaning hybrids. Its an instant head rush that tends to leave users in a euphoric and energized state of mind, while the comedown has been known to be a relaxing and calm set of effects. Some users have said that it can help stimulating appetite and alleviate mild depression. Dominant terpenes found in Electric Lady are Limonene, Beta-Myrcene, and Linalool while THC content averages around 22%.

一个好友在中国入狱服刑时发现并保留了这幅象征中国人们的真实状态的画面。 我在此深表感谢。 A good friend gives me this cartoon he preserved when he was serving a sentence in a Chinese prison for crime against the state. Here I thank him for bringing forth this poignant cartoon for everyone to contemplate.
www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com 陈凯博客
Integration vs. Separation
陈凯一语 Kai Chen's Words:
一个自由人是一个用自己的躯体表达自己的灵魂、用自己的行为表达自己的价值、用自己的性表达自己的爱的完整一致的自由意志体。 一个被专制奴役文化驱使的人是一个将自己的灵魂与躯体、价值与行为、爱与性分隔开的无能为力的瘫痪体。 对未知的恐惧主宰着这些可怜,可悲而又可卑的人们。 向往自由与爱而又惧怕逃避对自由与爱追求的人们充斥着中国这片古老专制的土地。 病态的中国伪"爱情"故事如 "梁/祝"和"贾/林"的真爱而无性与有性既无爱的传说阉割了中国男女们的完整。 在中国躯体往往被恐惧压迫而反对个体的灵魂与意志,行为往往被混乱抑制而反对个体的价值,性往往被物性荷尔蒙驱使而反对个体真实的爱情。 分裂的个体由此将性行为误解曲解为在肮脏的放纵与驯服的为专制程序传宗接代中的肉体行为。 真实的人的尊严、自由、完整与爱情的故事便由此在追求"虚无假空"的中国文学中彻底地缺失。 那些"无灵体"、"无值举"、"无性爱"、"无爱性"、"无'人'信仰"便有效地将所有的个体统统扯碎,变成建筑专制长城的血肉砖瓦。 无怪乎"行尸走肉"成了中国人的定义同义语。
激情的产生与表达只来自于个体的完整与尊严。 专制文化所导致的人格分裂只会使个体感到默默的绝望。 做一个"活着"的人还是做一个"只呼吸着"的人? 选择在于你。 在一个有着完整尊严的自由人和一个物化的崇尚虚无的人格分裂的宦奴娼之间,一个人一定要做出选择。 婊子牌坊是不能并立的。
注: 你会常常发现在专制奴役的中国,人们会时而表达他们对自由的向往。 但你会发现一旦自由与幸福向他们招手的时候,他们会在逃避责任与未知中选择专制奴役带来的暂时的安逸感。 长期的恐惧与逃避导致了中国的人们自由机能的萎缩。 思维与行为的瘫痪状态是一个普遍现象。 来到西方走入自由后的无能无力感更使得中国的人们怀念古国的专制 -- "愤青""愤老"就此产生。 在虚无中逃避真实自我的存在便应然成了中国的人们在种种专制的小圈子中(从家庭到各个群体)的行为思维模式。 --- 陈凯
A free being is one who uses his body to express his soul, who uses his action to express his values, who uses his sex to express his love. He is an integrated being with uncompromising free will and will never allow any force in the universe to tear him apart.
A creature by a despotic, enslaving culture is a disintegrated being with his own body separated from his own soul, his own action separated from his own values, his own sex separated from his own love. He/she is in a perpetual state of paralysis. Fear of the unknown dominates these pathetic, perverse and despicable beings. Yearning for freedom while fearing and evading freedom with their inaction/passivity characterizes those who occupy the ancient land of China. Perverted and fake "love stories" such as those in some classic Chinese literatures with sexless love and loveless sex permeate Chinese cultural landscape and have effectively castrated the Chinese males and females of any possibility of true love and happiness. One's body is oppressed by one's fear to oppose one's soul, one's action is obliterated by one's moral and intellectual confusion to oppose one's values, one's own sex is utilized by animalistic urge against one's own love and true emotions. A disintegrated individual thus takes his/her own sex as something to indulge to escape reality or something to be feared and obeyed to maintain a superficial despotic order by procreating for the collective. Human dignity, integrity, freedom and true love thus have long disappeared from the Chinese literary world. Those soulless bodies, valueless behaviors, sexless love/loveless sex, and nihilistic beliefs/faiths inundate China and very effectively turn everyone else into only some bricks of flesh and blood for building the despotic Great Wall. No wonder now zombies are synonymous with being Chinese.
Passion only comes when an individual maintains his/her integrity and dignity. A split character soaked with poisonous despotic cultural elements can only experience a permanent silent desperation. To live or to just merely breath? The choice is yours. Between a nihilistic, materialistic Chinese Eunuslawhore and an integrated, dignified free being, one must choose. There is no such thing as a virgin whore.
PS. You must have surely often observed such a phenomenon that in China most people seem to yearn for freedom. But then you will discover that when true freedom and happiness approach them they will evade the necessary responsibility and the courageous exploration into the unknown to escape into the temporary calm/safety of despotism. A long time of such a repeated pattern of behavior results in a severe atrophy of their spiritual muscles for freedom. Intellectual and behavioral paralysis prevails. Many who have come to the West find it very difficult to exercise their muscles of freedom, for they have to make extraordinary effort to restore the function of the atrophied muscles. Then the "angry youths" and "angry elders" appear. Escaping into the little circles of mini-despotism (from one's family to all kinds of groups) hence becomes the prevailing patterns of the overseas Chinese. --- Kai Chen
Dear Visitors:
The above observation and analysis surely will offend many Chinese. But then again I am not here on this earth for the purpose of pleasing people. It is this pathological and perverse urge among the Chinese to please others that disgusts me. It seems the only purpose of any Chinese is to please the family, the elders, the authorities, the state, the powerful, the rich, the majority, etc.., to please all others but himself/herself....
What about truth? Is there any Chinese left in the world who is interested in telling the truth? If there is none, then let me be the first.
Best. Kai Chen 陈凯

Centenary Stage Company in partnership with the Hackettstown Rotary Club will present "Colin Quinn: Bully" at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 25, in the Sitnik Theater of the Lackland Performing Arts Center in Hackettstown.
Colin Quinn is a stand-up comedian from Brooklyn (okay, Park Slope). From MTV's Remote Control to Saturday Nigh Live to Comedy Central's Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, Quinn is not one to take a hint and bow out gracefully. He's been on Broadway with "Colin Quinn: An Irish Wake" and "Colin Quinn: Long Story Short" (also an HBO special), and off Broadway and Netflix with his show "Colin Quinn: Unconstitutional" and most recently, "Colin Quinn: The New York Story," directed by Jerry Seinfeld. His first and last book, "The Coloring Book," is now out from Grand Central Publishing.
Quinn can be seen as Amy Schumer's father in the hit film, "Trainwreck," and as Hermie on HBO's Girls. Season three of his hit web-series, "Cop Show," is now streaming on lstudio.com. "Colin Quinn: The New York Story" premiered on Netflix in November and he'll be seen in the new Adam Sandler film, "Sandy Wexler," which will be released in 2018.
Advance tickets for "Colin Quinn: Bully" cost $48 for orchestra seating and $43 for balcony seating. Tickets on the day of the event cost $55 for orchestra seating and $50 for balcony seating. Tickets for this show are not included in season subscription or flex pass packages.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Hackettstown Rotary Club, and the many worthwhile projects they fund throughout the community and region.

Hi, guys!
Just a quick post this morning since readers, friends, and random people on the street ask me ALL the time about my tote bag – I figured I should officially review it. A number of my girlfriends and even my infusion nurse have bought it because of my recommendation! 🙂
This leather tote is seriously the best bag ever. I've had it for YEARS, and it's held up SO WELL – even to spilled milk, exploded makeup, and wayyyyy more ridiculousness. It still looks brand new – it's definitely an awesome investment! Check out my video review below – and let me know if you have any questions about the Cuyana Class Leather Tote!

Gather 'round, prose afficianados. It's time for a discussion of the kind of fiction that used to find its audience in print. Presented by respected publishing houses that kept most of the $$$ those print books earned. But even though we no longer need publishers dipping into the trough, does that mean at last we're in the clear?
by Laurence O'Bryan
Self publishing is a golden opportunity. For the first time in history authors can reach readers without going through the traditional publishing system.
But many self published authors are making horrible, beginner-type-mistakes, which will cripple their book sales. Here's my take on these mistakes:
1. Not getting outside help. Writers can't generally be editors, cover designers and marketing experts, as well as being writers. Not if they want to do these jobs well. And asking a relative or close friend to do these jobs for you is probably worse than doing it yourself. Your judgement typically goes out the window when someone close to you does something for you. If you won't spend money on getting experts your sales will be poor. I know there are occasional exceptions to this, but they only prove the rule.
2. Having unrealistic expectations. Most books, up to ten years ago, sold hundreds of copies. Only 1 in 300 traditionally published books, which got good editing, covers and marketing support, became bestsellers in the past. Publishing became a giant game of throw-it-up and see-what-sticks. With printed books it became ever growing and almost criminally wasteful, when you consider the dirty secret that most of the books you see in book stores are destined to be pulped. Now that game is in decline. If you do get editing, covers and marketing right, you might expect reasonable sales, but publishing is always a gamble, so never risk more than you can afford to lose. Great books don't always sell well. And Print on Demand is way better than ordering books to store in a front room and then a back room – forever.

King County calling for photos, artwork or essays on Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thursday, December 13, 2018
He is America's foremost human rights leader, a man whose image King County is proud to have as its logo.
As King County prepares for its annual celebration of the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., county officials are inviting the public to become part of the event by putting into words or pictures the ideas and ideals for America and the world that King gave his life for.
The county is looking for the public's interpretation, in either a photo, a work of art, or an essay, of the theme for the 2019 celebration:
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality."------Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I encourage all who are interested, especially young people, to submit their creative reflections on Dr. King's principles and teachings and what they mean for Martin Luther King County in 2019," said County Executive Dow Constantine. "Whether through music, poetry, painting or creative writing, this is a great opportunity to honor and celebrate Dr. King's enduring legacy."
"This is an opportunity for the public to be part of our annual celebration and honor our County's namesake vision of just, equitable communities," said King County Council Chair Joe McDermott.
Please submit your work via email at email@example.com, or send them to:
King County Office of Equity and Social Justice
401 5th Ave. Suite 800
Seattle, WA 98104
Submissions must be received by Monday, December 31, 2018
A selection of the submissions will be on display at locations throughout King County and available for viewing and reading by the public at the annual King County Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Celebration on January 10, 2019. A selection of the submissions will also be available on the celebration website.
For more information, contact Al Sanders at 206-477-1016 or firstname.lastname@example.com

The Journey: Early Returns from the 2018 Draft
Brayden Olafson
The events that unfold in the 12 months leading up to any given NHL entry draft are typically paramount when writing the individual stories of the players who are selected (or not selected) on that day. Although the NHL as a whole has become far more effective at detecting late bloomers, in many cases, a player's apparent value on draft day has an enormous impact on the opportunity that they receive when it comes to their professional career.
The best modern example of this is Nail Yakupov – a player with an attractive draft status who received six years' worth of NHL opportunities, based almost entirely on his apparent draft value. On the other hand, there are hundreds of players who enter the league without what some refer to as draft pedigree and are forced to overcome the barrier that is their lack of pedigree, before being given an equal opportunity.
With that being said, from each draft, there are a handful of players that are up to the task: Connor Brown, Ondrej Kase, Oskar Lindblom, and many more. They aren't isolated to a single background and don't follow any trend, but in most cases, their rise to the challenge begins shortly after the day they're selected on day two of the draft.
Today, we're going to have a look at which players from day two of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft are making an early case for the next late round breakouts. Most of these names will be unfamiliar, and of the group of them, only a handful is likely to get an honest crack at making an NHL career for themselves, but in any case, they should be finding their way on to your fantasy radar.
Second Round
44th | Albin Eriksson | Dallas Stars
Skelleftea AIK (SHL)
At the time of his selection by the Dallas Stars, Eriksson had dressed in a total of 17 games in Sweden's top league, the SHL. His international record wasn't overly impressive, especially in his recent history. Jim Nill was obviously able to look past those short-comings and see this player for what he truly is. Eriksson is a power forward with a lot of skill, and an excellent shot.

Twenty games into his sophomore season with Skellefteå AIK, Eriksson is maintaining a 0.5 point per game pace – a comparable rate to Andreas Johnsson's D+1 campaign in Froulunda.
58th | Filip Hallander | Pittsburgh Penguins
2017-18 Timra IK (HockeyAllsvenskan) → 2018-19 Timra IK (SHL)
A consensus late second-round pick to be, Hallander competed primarily in Sweden's Allsvenskan league in the year prior to his draft. He has a very well-rounded style of play that is highlighted by his puck handling skill and playmaking ability.
His 0.5 point per game pace in the countries second-tier league has translated to nearly an identical rate in the SHL where he's off to a hot start with Timra IK. The Swede should be a lock for his countries World Junior squad where we'll get a better sense of his development in peer-peer action.
Third Round
92nd | Connor Dewar | Minnesota Wild
Everett Silvertips (WHL)
Rookie Minnesota GM, Paul Fenton, whose 25-year background in scouting led him to his current position with the Wild took the helm for the 2018 Entry Draft. Fenton made four selections prior to Dewar, who was taken at 92nd overall. The 5-10 Everett center had been projected to go almost two full rounds later by most scouting agencies, but so far, Fenton's gamble looks to be paying off. Almost a third of the way into the WHL season, Dewar is on pace for over 110 points with the 'Tips, a feat that seems unimaginable given his previous draft status.
Newest @mnwild prospect Connor Dewar led the @WHLsilvertips with 38 goals this season and finished the campaign with 68 points. #NHLDraft #mnwild pic.twitter.com/Gt5LWWqhuO— The WHL (@TheWHL) June 23, 2018
A sustained offence at his current pace will have him drawing comparisons to Blue Jacket's prospect Vitali Abramov (65th overall, 2016), or even Tampa Bay center, Brayden Point (79th overall, 2014).
Fourth Round
94th | Matej Pekar | Buffalo Sabres
2017-18 Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL) → 2018-19 Barrie Colts (OHL)
The Sabres haven't been messing around since drafting Pekar in the 4th round of the 2018 Entry Draft. Only a couple of weeks into his D+1 campaign with the Barrie Colts, the Sabres signed off on the forward's three-year entry-level contract. The Czech had previously committed to the NCAA D1 program at Miami, which wouldn't have permitted the pro-contract.
Pekar's adaptation to the OHL isn't overly surprising, considering the success that he enjoyed last year in the USHL with the Muskegon Lumberjacks. He's an extremely high energy player with skill and tenacity incorporated into every part of his game, going as far as to admit that he tries to emulate Brad Marchand's style of play. While it's still likely that the provocateur takes a longer development path than some, he's showing signs of adaptability and a sustained offensive trajectory.
Fifth Round
135th | Brandon Kruse | Vegas Golden Knights
Bowling Green State University (WCHA)
One of the sneakiest picks of the 2018 Entry Draft, the under-sized and over-aged Kruse could have likely made it through to the seventh round – but the Knights knew they wanted him. Kruse was recruited by Bowling Green State rather unconventionally, coming up through a second tier US junior league, the NAHL. Nonetheless, he's becoming one of the NCAA's most prolific young playmakers.
While the modern NHL has experienced an infusion of speedy undersized forwards, a barrier remains for those players to overcome before they are able to make an impact. The WCHA doesn't have as great of a track record for producing NHL level talent as most of the other NCAA conferences, and almost none in terms of smaller players. On his current offensive trajectory, however, the fifth-round pick will be in line for an NHL contract by the time he graduates.
Sixth Round
167th | Mathias Emilio Pettersen | Calgary Flames
2017-18 Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL) → 2018-19 University of Denver Pioneers
Brad Treliving didn't own a single draft pick inside the first three rounds of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, but what he did in the fourth round on was satisfactory, to say the least. His last two selections, in-fact, are thus far turning out to be excellent value. At 167th overall, Pettersen is a highly skilled forward, with a sharp mind for the game. Although he isn't particularly explosive, his positional game has proven to be a key component in the transition from the USHL to the NCAA.
A dozen games into his collegiate career, the Norwegian hasn't missed a stride, contributing on 14 tallies for the Denver Pioneers – good for fifth among drafted players under 20, and beating out highly ranked prospects such as Ryan Poehling and Joel Farabee. With a few years of contract-free development ahead, the Flames should be happy to sit back and enjoy the view while Pettersen continues to impress.
169th | Mathias Laferriere | St. Louis Blues
Cape Breton Screaming Eagles (QMJHL)
Laferriére, not to be confused with Lafreniére hadn't recently been projected to be a top selection at the 2018 Entry Draft. After being drafted seventh overall by the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in the 2016 QMJHL Entry Draft, Laferriére became part of the trade that sent Pierre Luc Dubois to the eventual playoff finalists. In his first year of draft eligibility, the 6-2 right-winger managed a respectable 41 points, however, struggled on the defensive side of the puck. His lack of production in playoffs also contributed to the Screaming Eagles first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Drummondville Voltigeurs.
The 18-year-old's lack of high-level skill may have turned teams away until this point in the draft, but his frame and vision are perfect for a mid-round project, and early into the QMJHL season, he's making a case that he could be even more than that. With 12 goals and 21 assists, he's already matched his goal total from a year ago (in less than half the games) and is on pace for a team-leading 80-90 point campaign.
Seventh Round
198th | Dmitri Zavgorodny | Calgary Flames
Rimouski Oceanic (QMJHL)
In his first year of eligibility, Zavgorodny nearly slipped through the cracks of the 2018 Entry Draft. While he had been projected to somewhere in the range of the third to fifth rounds, the Russian who had already been playing in the QMJHL dropped all the way to, wouldn't you know it, the Flames in the late seventh round. The 5-9 forward didn't waste time stewing on the disappointment of his late selection though. After a brief return to Russia, he made a point of spending almost his entire summer training in Calgary with established NHL players from the Flames organization.
His combination of speed and skill make the Rimouski Oceanic forward an intriguing prospect for the Flames organization, especially given the low cost of acquiring his rights. Now twenty-six games into the QMJHL campaign, he's on pace to eclipse his draft year point total by more than 30; all the while playing second line minutes behind 2020 eligible prospect Alexis Lafreniere. As far as seventh-round picks go, this is a guy to have on your fantasy radar.
I hope you enjoyed this week's edition of the Journey!

Targeted Brain Derived Neurotropic Factors (BDNF) Delivery across the Blood-Brain Barrier for Neuro-Protection Using Magnetic Nano Carriers: An In-Vitro Study
Date of this Version
Document Type
Parenteral use of drugs; such as opiates exert immunomodulatory effects and serve as a cofactor in the progression of HIV-1 infection, thereby potentiating HIV related neurotoxicity ultimately leading to progression of NeuroAIDS. Morphine exposure is known to induce apoptosis, down regulate cAMP response element-binding (CREB) expression and decrease in dendritic branching and spine density in cultured cells. Use of neuroprotective agent; brain derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), which protects neurons against these effects, could be of therapeutic benefit in the treatment of opiate addiction. Previous studies have shown that BDNF was not transported through the blood brain barrier (BBB) in-vivo.; and hence it is not effectivein-vivo. Therefore development of a drug delivery system that can cross BBB may have significant therapeutic advantage. In the present study, we hypothesized that magnetically guided nanocarrier may provide a viable approach for targeting BDNF across the BBB. We developed a magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) based carrier bound to BDNF and evaluated its efficacy and ability to transmigrate across the BBB using an in-vitro BBB model. The end point determinations of BDNF that crossed BBB were apoptosis, CREB expression and dendritic spine density measurement. We found that transmigrated BDNF was effective in suppressing the morphine induced apoptosis, inducing CREB expression and restoring the spine density. Our results suggest that the developed nanocarrier will provide a potential therapeutic approach to treat opiate addiction, protect neurotoxicity and synaptic density degeneration.

Lana Del Rey "Freak" (ft. Father John Misty) (video)
Published Feb 10, 2016For fans of Lana Del Rey and Father John Misty, this may be a honeymoon you'll want to last forever. A new music video has been revealed behind Del Rey's Honeymoon single "Freak," an epic excursion that, well, finds the two getting kind of freaky for our amusement.
The 11-minute video is multi-chambered, and jumps from the singer and her bearded guest strolling through greenery, to sampling psych-warping breath strips, to enjoying a Kool-Aid-sipping love party, to dancing sensuously in, most fittingly, mist.
That's not all, though, as the short film evolves from highlighting the hazy pop song into a scene of Del Rey swimming to the sounds of composer Claude Debussy's classic "Clair de Lune."
If you're ready for the trip, you can sample "Freak" below.

The day after meeting Texas State University assistant coach, Jeremy Fikac, I headed to Round Rock, Tx to attend the Astros luncheon there. The event was emceed by the venerable Milo Hamilton. Nolan Ryan's son and Round Rock Express owner, Reid Ryan, came by my table and talked to everyone there like we were old friends. He even gave us advice on how to run into his dad at Round Rock games, which could be very useful information.
During the program Milo invited the Swedish speaking Matt Lindstrom up to speak. Matt talked a little about learning Swedish during Christian missions trips to Sweden which I thought was cool. He was definitely more shy than the other guys, but saying someone is more shy than Bud Norris is like saying water is wetter than coal. It's just not saying much. Bud Norris seemed like a really cool guy. General Manager, Ed Wade, apologized to us all for Norris's shirt but assured the Round Rock fans that he would have plenty of time to make up for it next year when he's back in Round Rock (or something like that). Hopefully that joke does not ever lose it's humor by becoming reality. If it does, I hope I'm in Round Rock at the right time. Jim Deshaies was also interviewed by Milo but he's so polished these days that it wasn't quite as entertaining as when the current players were interviewed. Jeff Bagwell also showed a little polish, but it was really cool hearing from him. Surprisingly he said that he learned more about playing baseball at the Major League level from Casey Candaele than anyone else. Casey was an Astro when I was five years old and discovering baseball so I thought that was really cool to hear. I love hearing random tidbits about more obscure baseball players.
Ricky Bennett, Assistant General Manager and Director of Player Development, also got up to speak. He was expecting to be interviewed by Milo like all the players were but Milo asserted that he never interviewed executives and let Ricky go it alone. After him was Ed Wade. It was really cool hearing about expectations of the 2010 Houston Astros from the GM himself. He informed us that he expects to see Tommy Manzella starting at shortstop for Houston come opening day and that several young pitchers who spent the majority of last year in Round Rock will have "every opportunity" in spring training to start the season in Houston.
Once all the speaking (and eating) was complete we got the opportunity to get items signed by the players. I got an 8×10 signed by Lindstrom which came out beautifully, and baseballs signed by Bagwell and Norris. It was a great opportunity and well worth the $40 admission. I only wish they did things like this more often.

Violence Shocks Students
"Just shock in initial reaction," said MU Student Derek Sisel. "A little bit of fear in the fact that maybe it could happen here. Anywhere in the United States, frankly it's kind of scary."
"My initial reaction was not again, not another shooting, not another bunch of innocent people dead," said MU student Billy Herbert.
"It'd probably surprise me more if it happened here just because it's around us and you never think that'll happen to you," said student Ryan Lowe.
MUPD is watching Tech's reaction, to better its strategies, just in case.
"We'll learn from what happens there, there'll be discussions I'm sure and we'll see if there's info from this that could help us here," said MUPD Captain Brian Weimer.
Weimer says MUPD trains for this kind of situation.
"Fortunately this is the closest they have got to the real thing. There's been circumstances before but nothing like what we saw today at Virginia Tech," Weimer said.
For many students KOMU talked with, Virginia Tech's tragedy is hard to comprehend.

Dive Brief:
- The mission of the school library has always been to match resources with those who need them, but schools now need to pursue that mission by creating active spaces designed to connect students and teachers with both print and digital resources and to inspire students to participate in collaborative, creative efforts, District Administration reports.
- Many schools are accomplishing this by transforming traditional school libraries into student-friendly learning commons areas with access to computers, whiteboards, couches and maker spaces, as well as reading nooks.
- The role of the librarian is also shifting to a more technology-focused role as librarians are expected to not only promote literacy and teach research skills, but also to act as "champions of digital literacy and technology integration."
Dive Insight:
The old image of the school librarian whose main responsibilities were to curate books, help students learn research skills and cultivate a love of reading is gone. Today's school librarians are expected to be tech-savvy media specialists who pursue all those goals and more. With education's growing dependence on digital resources and the trend toward personalized learning, school administrators need to find school library and media specialists who can connect students and teachers with the resources they need to both learn and teach.
The school library space needs to change as well. In the past, the school library was a place that students either loved or ignored, based on their personal approach to education. Today, school administrators need to rethink that model by creating an open, comfortable, student-friendly space that invites learning, creativity and collaborative problem-solving. The inclusion of active learning spaces, such as maker spaces where students can experiment with different media forms and elements including Legos, craft supplies and 3-D printers, also creates opportunities for hands-on learning and makes the school library more appealing.
Such conversions of school libraries may seem beyond the reach of schools will limited budgets, but it may be less costly than first imagined. Most schools have an existing library or other large room which could be converted for the purpose, so construction costs should be minimal. However, redecorating, furnishing and equipping the space may be more of a challenge. The good news is that such innovative ideas are just the sort of thing some parent and community groups can get behind. With the right fund-raising strategies in place, anything is possible.
