University of Chicago Celiac Center Chooses "Recognizing Celiac Disease"
The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has chosen Recognizing Celiac Disease as the supplemental reading material for medical professionals who complete its Preceptorship Program.
Dr. Stefano Guandalini, medical director of the center, recommends the book for both patients and healthcare providers. "The book is useful for prospective patients to determine whether their complaints are consistent with celiac disease. It is also an excellent patient resource for self management, especially in identifying ongoing and future health problems related to celiac disease and bringing them to the attention of their physician for proper treatment. "Recognizing Celiac Disease" is a useful reference that will serve as a helpful tool for health care providers and anyone diagnosed with the disease."
The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center's Preceptorship Program is an on-site intensive 2-day training course for medical professionals. Candidates study under the direction of the Center's celiac disease experts. The course includes formal instruction, as well as hands-on training. This is the nation's only such program. More information about the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center and the Preceptorship Program can be found at www.celiacdisease.net.
"Recognizing Celiac Disease" is the definitive guide to understanding, diagnosing and managing celiac disease. It is a reader-friendly, celiac disease reference manual written for both medical professionals and the general public.

Last November, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood started making noises about a "hardware" solution to the issue of distracted driving as it relates to wireless devices. Secretary LaHood was advocating 'disabling' wireless devices in moving vehicles.
Now in March, LaHood is leaning more toward NHTSA a study before making any 'harsh decisions as it relates to wireless devices. This study would look to determine if devices cause "cognitive distractions" to drivers and contributes to accidents and deaths.
I applaud Secretary LaHood taking the step to perform a study and base any regulatory decisions on hard numbers rather than 'gut feel'. But I am concerned that LaHood and the Department of Transportation are focusing too much on consumer devices rather than other causes of distracted drivers. Some that I can think of off the top of my head are:
- Pets
- Food
- Beverages
- Shaving
- Applying makeup
- Children
I would advocate a simple solution to the problem… Move toward a nationwide standard to "double the points and double the fine" for any and all distracted drivers during moving violations. This would similar to the recent campaigns focusing not just on the fact that drunk driving is a bad decision, but a REALLY bad financial decision. Gambling on mobile device such as playing casino or poker games on iPhone or Android mobile is another issue as users tend concentrate on the bets and have to constantly look at the mobile device screen while they driving which is a main distraction. Most gambling platforms support mobile gambling need to find a way to stop people using their phone when driving.
For those using wireless devices during a moving violation, the 'detection method' is to simply use the existing lawful intercept laws to utilize the voice, SMS or data records associated with a suspect's wireless device.
Are you ready to have hardware in your phone or in your car to prevent the usage of wireless device while it is moving?

Making a Scented Garden in New Orleans
I was 30 years old before I truly experienced the enthralling scent of a rose. Now I'd experienced hundreds of roses before that time, but it was early one morning, standing in Ruby Browning's rose garden, that I experienced the deep and full sensuality of a rose's perfume.
So many of our modern plants are no longer fragrant. They have been bred to be full and bushy or disease-resistant or perpetually blooming – at the sacrifice of scent.
Ruby's roses were not long-stemmed beauties loaded with elegance and unmatched grace – they were rambling, rugged rose bushes with rather anemic-looking blooms – but the fragrance knocked my socks off.
And from that day forward, I knew that all my future gardens would always, always contain the beautiful aromas provided by scented plants.
Historical records indicate that the first scented gardens were planted more than 2,500 years ago within the enclosed courtyards of Persian palaces. These gardens were constructed primarily to provide spiritual sanctuaries: The ancient gardeners believed that the perfume of flowers was God's breath on earth.
There is a rich luxury in the perfumes of the garden, a luxury that is within the reach of everyone. So here are a few tips on strategically adding scent to your garden.
First, you need to remember the reason the plants have scent in the first place. They use fragrance as a part of their reproductive function, attracting insects to distribute their pollen. Keeping this in mind, consider that the more fragrant the plant, the more insects it is likely to attract. If someone in your household is allergic to insect bites, you will have to locate the garden farther from your house. But if bugs do not bug you, I certainly suggest planting your scented garden close to you, maybe right beneath your bedroom window. The reflected heat from a wall or patio can intensify the odors from many plants. If possible, try planting in
an enclosed space such as a courtyard, which will allow the fragrance to collect and intensify.
A few perennial plants to consider are lilies, soapwort, creeping phlox, dianthus, sweet violets and peonies. Annuals include petunias, Dahlberg daisies and Nicotiana. And don't forget about plants with fragrant leaves such as lavender, catmint, rosemary, Russian sage, lemon verbena and scented geraniums.
If it is at all possible, plant a sweet olive. It offers evergreen foliage and sweetly scented, delicate white flowers. The heavenly fragrance is quintessential New Orleans, full of the promise of romantic nights and sensual interludes.
Many flowers emit their fragrances in the late evening and on into the night. These are typically the night bloomers, such as the moonflower vine, the evening primrose, jasmine and the night-blooming cereus. If your night-scented garden needs a shrub, consider the mock orange. The sweet, lingering scent resembles orange blossoms. Some patience is required when choosing a mock orange shrub, however: They can take three to five years to reach mature bloom state. Nonetheless, the ethereal aroma is well worth the wait.
"Scent is the most potent and bewitching substance in the gardener's repertory, and yet it is the most neglected and least understood," says Stephen Lacey in his book Scent in Your Garden. "The faintest waft is sometimes enough to induce feelings of hunger or anticipation or to transport you back through time and space to a long-forgotten moment in your childhood. It can overwhelm you in an instant or simply tease you, creeping into your consciousness slowly and evaporating almost the moment it is detected. Each fragrance, whether sweet or spicy, light or heavy, comes upon you in its own way and evokes its own emotional response."
Lacey's Scent in Your Garden is an excellent resource as it introduces the fundamental aspects of design with fragrant plants. It's a comprehensive catalog that describes more than 1,000 scented plants.
Helen Keller once observed that people were surprised that she could enjoy nature. It was really they, she said, who were blind, "for they have no idea how fair the flower is to the touch, nor do they appreciate its fragrance, which is the soul of the flower."
In our everyday life, the average human draws about 23,000 breaths a day. You owe it to yourself to make some of those breaths transport you from your hectic world to the tranquil peace only the garden can provide. Breathe deep!

Rush 'Clockwork Angels' Album To Be Novelized By Popular Sci-Fi Author
The forthcoming 'Clockwork Angels' release from Rush continues to grow in scope with the announcement that the album will be novelized by science fiction author Kevin J. Anderson.
Anderson is a longtime friend of Rush lyricist/drummer Neil Peart and writes that the pair have been seeking a way to collaborate on a "MAJOR" project for 20 years, a wish that is now fulfilled with the planned book.
In Anderson's mind, the opportunity presented by the project is one that ranks very high and he says comparatively, "imagine if someone had written the novel of 'The Wall,' 'Tommy,' or 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' when those classic albums were released. For Rush fans, 'Clockwork Angels' is that project."
[Thinking out loud here, we'd have to think that if Anderson's book does well, it would open the door for a series of other Rush-related books. You could probably do something really cool with '2112,' right?]
"I worked together with Neil to flesh out the epic story told over the course of the music, as well as the artist Hugh Syme whose paintings fill the CD booklet," Anderson continues. "In a young man's quest to follow his dreams, he is caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos. He travels across a lavish and colorful world of steampunk and alchemy, with lost cities, pirates, anarchists, exotic carnivals, and a rigid Watchmaker who imposes precision on every aspect of daily life."
He says that he's working on the chapters now and "incorporating the lyrics into the narrative," promising that additional details will follow.
RushIsABand traces the connection between Anderson's previous work and the Canadian rock legends. A longtime Rush fan, it was Anderson's 1988 novel 'Resurrection' that first caught Peart's attention and it led to several collaborations between the two in the years that followed.
A poll from RushIsABand asks fans what they think about the novelization of 'Clockwork Angels,' and currently 36% of the votes that have been cast so far seem to think that it's a good idea. You can add your voice to the mix by voting here.

The battle between Jayson Nix and Brent Lillibridge for that final reserve spot is still a dead heat.
Unfortunately, both players fall under the category of "disappointing," so manager Ozzie Guillen is hoping that it could only get better.
… Guillen was critical of both players last season, especially with the fact that he felt they focused to much on being power hitters rather than hitting the ball on the ground and using their legs.
With Nix and Lillibridge scuffling that has also opened the door for rookies Jordan Danks and C.J. Retherford. Guillen has been gushing over the younger Danks brother since the start of camp, but Retherford has played his way into Guillen's sights. …
March 14, 2010
Ozzie Guillen loves him some C.J. Retherford. Nix and Lillibridge not so much.

I talk about citing your sources all the time so you can be sure that I think it is very important. As you are doing your exhaustive search, you need to be recording a complete source citation. Again, this is where your Research Calendar comes in handy. You will have the date and time you did the search, what you searched [complete citation], what you were hoping to find and what you did find all in one place. When it comes time to write up your report with your findings it will be easy if you have recorded your information this way. When I first started out I didn't bother with research calendars because I thought they were more trouble that they were worth but I was so wrong about that. I use them religiously now when working on genealogical dilemmas and I keep them as part of my file. If you do a full citation as you are putting your calendar together, you will have that citation later when you need it without having to go back to Evidence Explained or The Chicago Manual of Style to try and get it formatted right. If you have your research calendar in your computer, you can just copy and paste the citation.
You can read The Basics of Citing Your Sources for more info. Since I wrote that post, I found another great resource. I highly recommend Tom Jones' Seeing the Forest AND the Trees (and Their Leaves): Mastering the Craft of Genealogical Documentation. He will help you understand why citing your sources correctly is so important and he breaks down the citations to make them easier to understand. James Tanner wrote a GREAT blog post on sources just this past Wednesday. Please read More Thoughts on Sources.

Mood disorders describe a range of behavioral issues that may occur in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. We will focus on mood disorders in teenagers, because in this unique population these behavioral problems may express themselves in ways that make diagnosis more difficult.
Mood disorders affect as many as 7% of Americans in any given year. The most common types are depression or mania (or a combination, known as bipolar disorder). Major depressive disorder is the most common diagnosis, and occurs twice as often in women as in men. Mood disorders are considered one of the top ten causes of disability worldwide.
Parents often miss depression in their teenagers. Undiagnosed depression can cause serious life-long problems with achievement, socialization, and health in general. The worst complication of uncontrolled depression is suicide. To learn more about the way depression expresses itself among adolescents

I like 5.5 a lot and so do most of the people I know in the Comic Book industry. I worked for Todd McFarlane Productions for a while and the ease of use of 5.5 made everyone in the art department pretty happy with the upgrade.... I don't like using Netscape Communicator over plain Netscape, but I don't tell newbies to only get Netscape. I'm sorry if I am coming off harsh, but it seems like a very few people are making a very big noise about how bad PS 5.5 is, and it isn't really productive. ------------------ Kusanhagi Back to top jasonNmemberMember #Joined: 12 Jan 2000Posts: 842Location: Sydney Australia Posted: Sat Oct 23, 1999 5:06 am I heard that 5.5 is really good for web designers and is more internet orientated.

In notepad you know exactly how your code works and and its functions, and in Front page its made it easier to do the final product but you have no idea how it works, and HTML is all messed up. So i think 3.x and 4.x have simple old tools that you know exactly what they do, and later vers have all those FANCY filters/effects/tools. Though if you're into web design or anime or cartoons, you'll like the latest features better.

The main feature that I totally wish I can turn off is their whole new way of copying and pasting and selection. In 5 every time you paste something it creates another layer. Selecting and moving selections also just got too fancy and added extra steps that slow the process down.

Robin Williams was an unbelievably talented comedian -- and not half bad as a Denver Broncos cheerleader, either.
The late actor briefly joined the Broncos cheering squad in November 1979, donning a white sequined mini-skirt, go-go boots and an orange neckerchief, then prancing in front of a crowd that the Denver Post pegs at around 74,000 people.
(Story continues below.)
In doing so, Williams became the first male Broncos cheerleader in history, and likely the most entertaining Broncos cheerleader of all time, regardless of gender.
Williams pulled the stunt for the 37th episode of "Mork & Mindy," a comedy show set in nearby Boulder, Colorado, in which Williams plays Mork, an alien sent to investigate Earth. In the episode, Mork joins the squad at the urging of his adoptive sister's cousin, Nelson, who believes his political career will be aided by Mork's new gig.
Perhaps inspired by Williams' antics on the sidelines, the Broncos beat the Patriots 45-10.
Watch the full episode below, or an excerpt of Williams as a cheerleader, above.

The joint "Gas Network Codes Functionality Platform" is available at www.gasncfunc.eu.
The "Joint Functionality Process for Gas Network Codes" has been set up jointly by the Agency and ENTSOG with the support of the European Commission in 2016. On the platform all relevant parties can notify implementation and operational issues related to the gas Network Codes, Congestion Management Guidelines and the Transparency Annex.
A web-based platform, www.gasncfunc.eu , will collect these issues and allow the initiators of these issues to be involved in finding solutions. Participation in the process will require online registration. Non-registered users will only have access to the list of submitted issues with a short description. The functionality process and the web-based platform is still in pilot project phase. Once sufficient experience has been obtained with the platform ACER and ENTSOG will evaluate the results and finalize the project.

CLEVELAND -- Justin Masterson pitched six solid innings, Jason Giambi and Mark Reynolds homered, and the Cleveland Indians broke a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.
Masterson (8-3) worked out of a bases-loaded jam with nobody out in the sixth to preserve a 2-1 lead. Cincinnati's only run off the right-hander came on Joey Votto's two-out homer in the first.
Giambi's three-run homer in the sixth off Bronson Arroyo (5-5) pushed the margin to four runs for Cleveland, which scored only 14 runs during the skid.
Reynolds' homer to lead off the third tied the game before Nick Swisher's RBI double gave the Indians a 2-1 lead in the fourth.
The Reds took the first two games of the intrastate series with wins Monday and Tuesday in Cincinnati, but the Indians bounced back after losing seven of their previous eight. Cleveland's losing streak matched its longest of the season.
Masterson, who has won four of his last five decisions, allowed four hits and struck out seven.
Cincinnati loaded the bases with nobody out in the sixth, but Masterson worked out of the jam, getting Xavier Paul on a pitcher-to-home-to-first double play and retiring Devin Mesoraco on a fly ball.
Masterson also retired Votto on a groundout with two on to end the fifth.
Arroyo retired the first two hitters in the sixth before Asdrubal Cabrera and Swisher singled. Giambi hit a 2-1 pitch to right for his fourth career homer in 21 at-bats off Arroyo, who gave up five runs in 5 2-3 innings. Giambi, who hit a pinch-hit homer against the Reds on Monday, also doubled and is batting .381 (8-for-21) with eight RBI lifetime against the Cincinnati right-hander.
Chad Allen pitched a scoreless seventh and Joe Smith blanked Cincinnati in the eighth. Vinnie Pestano, who has taken over the closer's role for the injured Chris Perez, inherited a four-run lead in the ninth. He was greeted by Xavier Paul's leadoff homer, but retired the next three hitters. Perez was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with tendinitis in his right shoulder.
Arroyo has lost four straight against Cleveland, allowing 22 earned runs in 19 1-3 innings.
The teams exchanged solo homers early in the game. Votto, who is batting .417 (40-for-96) in May, hit a line drive to dead center in the first while Reynolds homered into the left-field bleachers in the third.
Cabrera doubled with one out in the fourth and scored when Swisher's hit found the gap in left-center, but the inning ended in sloppy fashion. The Indians made two costly baserunning mistakes they hit three straight doubles but scored only one run.
Following Swisher's double, Giambi hit a drive to center that Shin-Soo Choo played off the wall. Swisher, perhaps thinking he would tag up if Choo made the catch, was near second base when the ball landed. When he finally came around third, he was waved home by coach Brad Mills, but was out on second baseman Brandon Phillips' strong relay throw.
The inning ended when Giambi was thrown out trying to steal third as Carlos Santana walked.
Choo, who played with the Indians from 2006-12, made his first appearance in Cleveland since being traded to the Reds in December. He was 1-for-4 with a walk.

Thanks for the Gr8 links Katie,
Great work, dig your blogs.
Thought about starting an atheist blog here, but it would be like preaching to the already converted, because my region are mostly atheists, so I guess I'll just troll Christian forums for a laugh instead.
Have to make some use of my wasted time in studying theology at school. LOL!
Hope your efforts work in producing a more accepting secular nation.
My pleasure! =) Hope you had a good weekend!
Welcome aboard! =) Hope all is going good for you today...

Campers develop skills at Penn State's youth summer camps
Campers develop skills at Penn State's youth summer camps
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- As the school year winds down, many young people will soon arrive on Penn State's University Park campus for youth camps designed for fun, education and a taste of campus life.
New this year, the School of Visual Arts Summer Art Camp (July 7 to 12) will teach high school students who are interested in the visual arts how to create a portfolio of their work. The camp's theme, "Portfolio Processes," underscores the goals of the program – to show campers how to create exciting artworks in different media and to develop a digital portfolio. The camp coincides with the 2013 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.
Graeme Sullivan, director of the School of Visual Arts, says the camp will put artists from ninth- to 12th-grade in a vibrant studio experience where they'll learn about drawing, photography, printmaking and sculpture using digital technology.
"We want to provide a safe atmosphere where students can push ideas," said Sullivan. "We've created a supportive learning environment for students to interact with faculty and their peers so they can take a serious approach to their work. This camp will expand their skills and introduce them to new kinds of processes."
Sullivan reviews student portfolios as part of the application process to the School of Visual Arts and said the camp will help high school students appreciate the importance of a strong portfolio. He says images and ideas are an indication of how an artist thinks and makes decisions.
"There are always new ways to look at information," Sullivan said. "These high school students have always had an interest in art and we can help them understand their own ways of thinking and apply that to new materials."
There are scholarships available – two full and two half – for the School of Visual Arts Summer Art Camp. Please click here for more information.
Penn State Outreach will host other youth camps this summer:
• Weather Camp (June 16 to 21 and June 23 to 28): Campers learn how to make weather predictions, launch a weather balloon, present a TV forecast and much more.
• Communications Camp (July 7 to 11): Aspiring filmmakers and journalists will learn interview techniques, write stories and shoot video among other activities.
• Honors Music Institute (July 14 to 20): This camp gives students a chance to see what it's like to be a professional musician.
• Architecture/Landscape Architecture Camp (July 14 to 18 and July 21 to 25): Hands-on building and model making activities keep campers busy.
Penn State Conferences plans and manages hundreds of programs each year which represent the diversity and strength of Penn State's academic colleges and provide opportunities for individuals to learn about the latest scholarship, research and developments in their fields or participate in enriching learning experiences. Penn State Conferences is part of Penn State Outreach, which serves more than 5 million people each year, in all 67 Pennsylvania counties, all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Court allows 2 Pinoys' bid for HK residency
by Carina Roncesvalles, The Philippine Star
Posted at 06/23/2012 8:09 AM | Updated as of 06/23/2012 12:08 PM
HONG KONG Two Filipino domestic workers were allowed yesterday by the citys highest court to pursue their bid for permanent residency rights in the former British colony.
Chief Judge Andrew Cheung, sitting with Judges Robert Tang and Frank Stock, allowed the appeals in the landmark case of foreign domestic helpers (FDHs).
Evangeline Vallejos, who came to Hong Kong to work as a domestic helper in 1986, was the first to challenge the exclusion of FDHs to apply for right of abode. She won her case at the Court of First Instance in September last year.
Daniel Domingo also won his petition for residency right at the Court of First Instance last November.
The court earlier heard that Domingo was able to rent his own place; was absent in Hong Kong for only seven days during his 16 years of employment; and is raising three children in the former British colony. Two of his three Hong Kong-born children have already been granted right of abode.
However, their victories were reversed by the Court of Appeal last March.
Solicitor Peter Barnes welcomed yesterdays court decision, saying they would continue to fight for the cases of Vallejos and Domingo in a bid to end the discrimination against FDHs.
The court considers it obviously to be a matter of great importance and of course it is. We have to prepare and fight hard, and hope for the best, Barnes told reporters outside the court.
We obviously feel that the Court of Appeal got it wrong. But there shouldnt really be discrimination or distinction between one large segment of the community and the rest of the community, he added.
While no date has been set for the hearing at the Court of Final Appeal, Barnes said the case would be heard by four local judges and one judge from overseas.
Dolores Balladares, chair of the United Filipinos in Hong Kong, also welcomed the court decision.
This will bring back hope for Evangeline and Daniel to fight for their case to the Court of Final Appeal. We hope that when the cases reach the Court of Final Appeal, the decision will favor Evangeline and Daniel, which will let them live here in Hong Kong permanently, Balladares said.
Pending the finality of the court ruling on the helpers bid for right of abode, the government continues to withhold the processing of right of residency applications from FDHs.
Balladares said the governments strong opposition to FDHs bid for permanent residency rights showed that they are being excluded from society.

Yesterday, I visited the vernissage of Alias , his first solo show in the west berlin gallery.
It's always a happening to see how street art can be transfered from the streets in a small room. His work is spreaded all over berlin and always very catchy and emotional. Sometimes it is like the stencils of him find you and not the other way round.
Since 2003 ALIAS lives in Berlin he has developed a unique street-art approach, becoming an important protagonist of this vivid urban art scene. But today he is on his way to Wendland to stop the castor transport.
But the real cause of this posting is a story behind the exhibition. I found this great magazine on the table and was really into it. It's new on the flooded market, but they definitely have an eye for good work and artists. It's the finest selection.

The seven foot long shoe is in all likelihood just a stupid PR publicity scam for some brand of goofy monster slippers, but hell, I think they'd have more luck selling enormous house sneakers than they would with shoes actually meant to fit your foot. [Mirror via Daily What]

There Is a Lonely Island Movie in the Worksby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Attention, everyone: A Lonely Island movie is happening, and there is no doubt it is going to be epic.
According to Variety, Universal Pictures is set to make a film about the comedy music trio made up of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone — you know, the guys (and 'SNL' favorites) that brought us the musical gems like 'D— in a Box,' 'I'm on a Boat,' 'Like a Boss,' and 'Motherlover.' Schaffer and Taccone are set to direct, while Judd Apatow will produce the film.
While there is no word yet on if any special guests — like Lonely Island favorites Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, T-Pain and more — will make appearances in the movie, there is no doubt it is going to be laugh out loud funny, especially with Apatow ('Knocked Up,' 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin,' 'Bridesmaids') producing. This is one movie we absolutely cannot wait to see.
PopCrushers, what do you think of a Lonely Island film?

Speedskating powerhouse Apolo Ohno took home the bronze medal in the men's 1000-meter race on Saturday night, becoming the winningest U.S. Winter Olympian.
The American broke his six-medal tie with long-track speedskater Bonnie Blair -- he now has seven. Ohno won his sixth medal on Feb. 13 for his second place finish in the men's 1500-meter race.
Fellow speedskater JR Celski was disqualified in the 1000m semifinals after brushing off Canada's Francois Hamelin. Celski won the bronze medal in the 1,500-meter last Saturday night.
U.S. & World
Earlier in the night in the men's 1500-meter speedskating race, Shani Davis, the reigning world champion and world record holder, won a silver medal.
Dutch speedskater Mark Tuitert took home the gold, beating the American favorite by .53 seconds.
American Chad Hedrick, who defeated Davis twice this season and who considers the 1,500 long track event his strongest, did not medal, finishing sixth.
Earler this week, Davis defended his Olympic title in the 1,000m and Hedrick pulled out a bronze.
In the women's 1,500m short-track event, Katherine Reutter failed to medal, coming in fourth behind China's Yang Zhou, Korea's Eun-Byul Lee and Seung-Hi Park. Earlier in the evening, she'd advanced to the finals after another Chinese athlete was disqualified for interference.
Another American favorite Lindsey Vonn won the bronze medal in the women's super-G race earlier in the day, her second Olympic medal for the United States in Vancouver.
Andrea Fischbacher of Austria won the gold, with Tina Maze of Slovenia taking home the silver.
Vonn opened her Vancouver Games by overcoming an ailing shin to win gold in the marquee downhill event only to wipe out in the slalom leg of the super-combined the next day.
Vonn won the last three World Cup super-G's and swept speed skiing events at last season's world championships in Val d'lsere, France.
American Julia Mancuso, who earned a silver in women's super-combined and downhill, finished ninth. If Mancuso had won, it would have been her fourth Olympic medal, tying her with Bode Miller for the U.S. record for alpine skiers.
Day 9 also included wins for both the men's and women's curling teams -- the women beat out Great Britain and the men took home another win against Sweden. Three Americans qualified in freestyle skiing, with Emily Cook finishing fifth, Lacy Schnoor in sixth and Ashley Caldwell in twelfth.
It was a record breaking day for Olympic ski jumping, Switzerland's Simon Ammann became the first person to win four individual gold medals in the sport. In men's cross-country skiing, Sweden took home the gold and bronze, beating out favorites Ola Vigen Hattestad and Petter Northug Jr.of Norway.
In men's hockey, Switzerland won over Norway; Slovakia beat Latvia; and Belarus and Germany's results are still to come.
The Vancouver Winter Games are here and Team USA is rocking.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
Easter is Sunday, March 31st this year, and I pray we all know at least once in our lives the rebirth of faith and love which is manifest each spring in the story of Jesus (pbuh). And so, once again, here is Rumi's beautiful homage:
Everyone has eaten and fallen asleep. The house is empty. We walk out to the garden to let the apple meet the peach, to carry messages between rose and jasmine.
Spring is Christ,
Raising martyred plants from their shrouds.
Their mouths open in gratitude, wanting to be kissed.
The glow of the rose and the tulip means a lamp is inside.
A leaf trembles. I tremble in the wind-beauty like silk from Turkestan.
The censer fans into flame.
This wind is the Holy Spirit.
The trees are Mary.
Watch how husband and wife play subtle games with their hands.
Cloudy pearls from Aden are thrown across the lovers,
as is the marriage custom.
The scent of Joseph's shirt comes to Jacob.
A red carnelian of Yemeni laughter is heard
by Muhammad in Mecca.
We talk about this and that. There's no rest except on these branching moments.
– Jalaluddin Rumi, from The Essential Rumi, by Coleman Barks
Ya Haqq!

The 2010 Primetime Emmy nominations are in!
Bright and early this morning…by which we mean 8:40 AM EST / 5:40 AM PST…the nominees for the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards were announced by Joel McHale ("Community," "The Soup") and Sofia Vergara ("Modern Family"). It ended up being a worthwhile gig for one of them, at least, with Vergara pulling in a Supporting Actress nod for "Modern Family." Maybe that's why McHale seemed so stone-faced. (Seriously, did someone tell McHale that he wasn't getting paid if he didn't keep his smart-assery in line 'til after the nominees were read? The only time he cracked anything approaching a joke was when he preempted Vergara's mangling of Mariska Hargitay's last name.) Anyway, here's a list of who got the glory…and, in the case of Best Actress in a Drama, who got the shaft.
Outstanding Comedy Series:
* Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
* Glee (Fox)
* Modern Family (ABC)
* Nurse Jackie (Showtime)
* The Office (NBC)
* 30 Rock (NBC)
My Pick: "Modern Family." There's no question that "Glee" is award-worthy, but not necessarily as a comedy, which is also where "Nurse Jackie" falters in this category. I feel like "The Office" and "30 Rock" coasted in on their past merits this year, but "Curb" got a huge boost from the "Seinfeld" storyline, so it's the only real competition here. Still, the buzz on "Modern Family" is all over the place. I can't imagine it won't bring home the glory.

Don't perform virus checking on each one of the 100s mails you are sending
While you should always scan outgoing personal mail for viruses, doing the same on a bulk mailing is a very bad idea. If you are importing a saved .eml file you should scan that file before importing it, but once you launch your mailing there's no point in checking every single message that's leaving from your PC! That would slow down things and even prevent many messages from being delivered. Disable your antivirus while sending (or configure it so that it does not check outgoing mail) and re-enable it when you're finished.
You are not spamming, so don't be filtered out as spam
Nowadays most mail servers have built-in antispam filters; they are quite smart, but sometimes they fail and delete (or mark as spam and redirect to some "spam" folder) perfectly legal messages; this is a common problem with Hotmail and other very popular free mail services. If you feel a lot of your messages are filtered out and not delivered, here are some basic rules to avoid being named a spammer by mistake:
- Always include plain text: "personal" e-mail messages, even if written using HTML format, always include a plain text part. If a plain text part is missing, most antispam filters become suspicious. When you finish composing your message, use SendBlaster's "Text from HTML" button to automatically create a plain text part from HTML.
- Write, don't paint: most of your message must be text; avoid including large images. Once again, antispam filters become suspicious when the image / text ratio is too high.
- Don't over-attach: attachments should only be used in small, personal lists; if you are publishing a newsletter, upload files on your website and use links instead (your subscribers will be happier too).
- Don't say bad words: avoid those words that are constantly flooding your mailbox.
- Better use Smtp: While Direct Send mode is very useful in many situations, unfortunately nowadays a lot of mail server refuse direct delivery in order to prevent spam. You should better use Smtp when you are mailing a large amount of recipients.
Choose a good Smtp service for your newsletter
A good Smtp service is the key for your speed. While most of ISPs include a free bundled Smtp service as part of their offers, this may not be the right solution when sending large amount of mails. Standard Smtp services may not allow for multiple connections, or limit bandwidth, or even limit the number of messages that can be sent in a given time. "Direct Send" mode is a good alternative option, but unfortunately some servers do not allow direct delivery. If you really need speed consider subscribing a dedicated Smtp service: using multiple simultaneous connections and a fast server can really speed up your mailings, ensure a higher rate of messages are delivered, and definitely save you a lot of time and efforts.

Life Hacks Every Girl Should Know About
Well, some of these tips and tricks can be useful for guys too.
1. Break in your flats in under five minutes.
Step 1: Put on thick socks, and then your flats.
Step 2: Blow-dry your shoes around the tight sections for a few minutes.
Step 3: Keep your socks/flats on while it cools.
Step 4: Test them out, repeat process if you need them more stretched out.
2. Put clear nail polish on the inside of your rings.
Your fingers will be free from green stains.
3. Use a pumice stone to de-fuzz a sweater.
You might want to use a lint roller as well to make your sweaters neat and clean.
4. Hang your purses with shower curtain hooks.
So simple!
5. Wear loose ponytails to avoid bald spots.
When you tie your hair too tight (and often), it strains the follicles and prevents hair growth. Try not to frequently tie your ponytail in the same spot.
6. White wine neutralizes red wine stains.
Yeah, you read that correctly. When you're at a party and you accidentally spill some red wine on your blouse, immediately pour white wine over the stain and let it air-dry. The white neutralizes the red, making it easier to take out the stain.
7. Store your makeup on a magnet board.
This is a good way to keep track of your makeup and stay organized. Instructions here.
8. Neatly tuck your non-skinny jeans in boots.
Just fold the bottom of your jeans and wrap it over to easily fit in socks.
9. Remove deodorant stains with dryer sheets.
Rub the marks in a circular motion and the sheets will absorb the deodorant. Make sure there's no excess lint from the dryer sheet or you'll end up with gray marks. Pantyhose also works!
10. Paint your keys with nail polish to easily distinguish the sets.
It especially helps when you lend a spare key to a houseguest.
11. Chill your white wine with frozen grapes.
This prevents the flavor from being watered down!
12. When you pack a suitcase, wrap your shoes in a shower cap.
This will prevent the soles from touching your clean clothes.
13. Add a magnetic strip in your bathroom cabinet to support bobby pins and tweezers.
Instructions here.
14. Turn around your hangers to clean out your closet.
We all buy clothes we don't wear, and it takes up unnecessary closet space. Place your hangers the opposite way, and after you use an article of clothing, hang it up regularly. By the end of the year (or season), donate the clothes that are still hanging backward.
15. Put your necklace through a straw to keep the chain from tangling.
It may look silly, but it will save you time and frustration.
16. Use a caddy to store your hair appliances.
You can buy some here. You can also use PVC pipes!
17. Mount cutlery trays to store your jewelry.
Instructions here.
18. Put pool noodles in your boots to keep them upright.
Newspapers and magazines work as well.
19. Use rice and a sock to make a DIY hot pack.
Perfect for aches and pains. Instructions here.
20. Tie your scarves and stockings to hangers for easy storage.
21. Use two fingers to test out your bra fit.
If you can't comfortably fit two fingers under the band of your bra, it is too tight. If you can fit your entire fist under the band, it's too loose.
22. Put baking soda in your flats to avoid smelly shoes.
When you put shoes on without socks, your feet sweat and start to smell. If you put baking soda in your flats, it will kill the bacteria and get rid of that gross smell.
23. Glue old wine corks to a picture frame to make your own DIY cork board.
Instructions here.
24. Use your hair straightener to iron hems.
25. Use clothing hangers to organize your boots.
Just make sure they have sliding clips.
26. Run your mascara wand under hot water for easier application.
Also, do NOT pump your mascara wand in and out of the tube — that causes it to clump. Twirl the wand inside the bottle before applying another coat.
27. Use ice cubes to remove gum from your hair.
It will harden the gum, making it easier to remove. You can also use this method for getting gum off the soles of shoes.

Not for tiptoeing around in
Sneakers have long been used for more than jogging. These days, they are fashion statements, collector's items and must-have objects. We showcase this season's most flamboyant kicks
»Sneakers have even caused relationships to breakdown«
An exhibition at the Hamburg Museum of Art and Industry (MKG) currently puts sneakers center-stage. Curator Jürgen Döring thinks the show was long overdue
Mr. Döring, Until now we thought sneakers were for wearing on your feet, not for being exhibited at a museum.
Sneakers are not art, but they are design objects and status symbols. The trend towards sneakers is a prime example of the aestheticization of everyday culture – that in itself deserves to be on show at a museum.
Is the success of sneakers indicative of a societal change?
Absolutely. This change can be pinpointed in time, namely the year 1985. That's when Boris Becker won Wimbledon wearing Pumas. German Green Party politician Joschka Fischer was sworn in as the Hesse state government secretary of the environment wearing Nike sneakers. And in the U.S., hip-hop icons Run DMC performed in Adidas Superstars without laces, because these are taken away from inmates in U.S. jails. If not sooner, this is when sneakers became part of pop culture.
The world's best selling sneaker, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, was launched back in 1923. What gives a shoe such longevity?
It is the simplicity of the model and the straightforwardness of its design. "Chucks" can be reinterpreted in a vast variety of ways. Originally, they started off being very simple, white, high-top basketball shoes, and were first worn on the street in the 1970s, when rockers and punks discovered them.
What kind of people camp out for weeks in front of stores in order not to miss out on new limited editions?
One group are the resellers, who get hold of the limited editions in order to sell them on for a multiple of the original retail price. Others are just ardent collectors. People who invest a lot of time, money and energy into their pursuit of sneakers. Their apartments are often filled with hundreds of shoeboxes. This has even caused relationships to breakdown.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 74-year-old California woman is free after serving 32 years of a life sentence for her role in a 1981 killing.
Mary Virginia Jones walked out of Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood around 11 p.m. Monday and was met by joyful family and friends, the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/Qb7UGr ) reported.
Jones was convicted of first-degree murder, kidnapping and robbery and sentenced to life without parole for a killing committed alongside boyfriend Mose Willis, who died while on death row.
She always maintained that the abusive Willis forced her at gunpoint to help him rob and shoot two drug dealers, one of whom died. Law students at the University of Southern California's Post-Conviction Justice Project took up her cause.
Jones expected to be shot and killed and the subsequent trials did not take into account her history as a battered victim, the justice project's directing attorney, Heidi Rummel, told the Times.
Los Angeles County prosecutors conducted a new investigation and agreed to accept a plea of no contest for involuntary manslaughter.
Judge William C. Ryan ruled Monday afternoon that Jones had served well over the 11-year maximum sentence for the lesser crime and ordered her freed.
"Hallelujah!" shouted one woman who began to sob after the judge issued his ruling.
Jones, using a magnifying glass to help her see, read her plea in court Monday: "I did not willingly participate in this crime, but I believe entering a no contest plea is in my best interest to get out of custody."
Deputy District Attorney Hyman Sisman said he would not comment on the investigation except to say "justice was done."
Jones' daughter, 53-year-old Denitra Jones-Goodie, told the newspaper her mother always believed that someday she would be released.
"She's got strength on top of strength," she said.

Good news, everyone: the next Nicholas Sparks adaptation finally has a female lead! Despite being set for a pre-Valentine's Day 2013 release this past December, Safe Haven has been without a female lead for the duration of its development. Josh Duhamel (Transformers) recently signed on as the male lead, and now Variety reports that Footloose star Julianne Hough is in talks to land that coveted female role. The story centers on a young woman with a dark past who arrives in a small North Carolina town, and reluctantly begins a relationship with a widowed store owner and his two children, and a friendship with her plainspoken neighbor.
Keira Knightley was previously rumored to be eyeing the role, but apparently a deal never materialized. Lasse Hallström (Chocolat) is onboard to direct the adaptation. I quite liked Hough's charisma in Footloose, and Diablo Cody chose her to star in the Juno scribe's upcoming untitled directorial debut. The actress will next be seen opposite Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages when it opens next month. Hit the jump to read a synopsis of Sparks' novel.
Here's the synopsis for Safe Haven:
When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.
But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.

text: In American artist Matthew Barney's cycle of Cremaster films, Cremaster 2 is a gothic Western that corresponds to the phase of fetal development during which sexual division begins. Director Matthew Barney plays the part of Gary Gilmore, the film's lead role. Gilmore (who had a Latter-day Saint and an abusive, alcoholic Catholic father) was executed for murdering two Latter-day Saint men in Utah.Barney depicts Gilmore's murder of a Mormon gas-station attendant in both sculptural and dramatic forms. Inferring that Gilmore killed out of a longing for union with his girlfriend, Nicole Baker, he represents their relationship through two conjoined Mustangs that, coincidentally, they both owned. In the murder sequence, Gilmore shoots his victim in the back of the head. This act sets in motion the trial and verdict that will condemn him to death. Barney stages the judgment of Gilmore in the Mormon Tabernacle. Gilmore refuses to appeal his sentence and opts for execution by firing squad, in a literal interpretation of the Mormon belief that blood must be shed in order for a sinner to obtain salvation. His execution is staged as a prison rodeo in a cast-salt arena in the middle of the Bonneville Salt Flats. In Barney's interpretation of the execution, Gilmore was less interested in attaining Mormon redemption than in performing a chronological two-step that would return him to the space of his alleged grandfather, Houdini (played by Norman Mailer, Gilmore's real-life biographer), with whom he identified the notion of freedom through self-transformation. Seeking escape from his fate, he chose death in an act of ultimate self-will. Gilmore's metaphoric transportation back to the turn of the century is rendered in a dance sequence featuring the Texas two-step.

The "Werkgroep Veranderlijke Sterren" of Belgium
Patrick Wils
Presented at the 100th Annual Meeting of the AAVSO, October 5, 2011; received October 11, 2011; accepted November 29, 2011
The "Werkgroep Veranderlijke Sterren" (Working Group on Variable Stars) of the Belgian "Vereniging Voor Sterrenkunde" (Society for Astronomy) was founded in 1969. The group and its individual members have been among the pioneers in several areas of amateur variable star astronomy: CV alert bulletin boards and telegrams, CCD observing, automatic handling of observations and online availability of the data, collaboration with professional astronomers, telescope automation, remote observing, and data-mining. Realizing the importance of international collaboration for a small group, there has always been a close contact with other variable star organisations. As a result also the first European meeting of the AAVSO was hosted in Brussels in 1990.
