that step through ala kevin mchale was tremendous. People wonder why he's my favorite player...? He has to be the craftiest scorer in the league.
Hi everybody,
I'm an italian celtic's fan and I just want to ask you when are they going to start selling the tickets for game 3/4. I'm asking you because I would like to come to Bean Town and enjoy the finals. On celtics.com they send me to "ticketmaster", but they are not selling them. When are they going to start selling tickets? Is there anybody who can help me?
Thanks and let's go CELTICS, beat LA!!
p.s. I'm sorry to write stuff like this on this web site but I need some information about tickets!
This comment is about the post by Ted Green, a LA Times blog writer. He posted a really inappropriate remark about Paul Pierce in the Los Angeles Times. It was removed. I have never been able to read the LA Times because it is such a bad newspaper to begin with compared to the Washington Post, NY Times, heck even the Boston Globe is better! I'm glad it was removed but when you think of the things writers could and should post about Kobe Bryant's rape charge (even though he was acquitted, I know), it really makes me mad.

Second update from the severability argument
We are roughly two-thirds of the way through the severability argument. The government's lawyer was finishing up when I left the building. So far it is hard to see where this one is going. Almost all of the Justices asked Clement questions, and many were skeptical of his argument that if the mandate and the provisions link to it go, all that would be left is a hollow shell.
But Ed Kneedler also faced skeptical questions, especially from the more conservative Justices, who asked him how the Court should figure out what other provisions must go. Are we supposed to go through the whole 2700 pages, they asked? (Justice Scalia suggested that this would violate the Eighth Amendment.)

Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That
Mom is doing well. She had her tubes removed today and will be released from Mayo on Wednesday AM. Thank you, God. She will heal at home for a few weeks and begin chemo. She'll take chemo in Duluth again.
The blueberries were magnificent and bountiful at Lake Vermilion this past week. Troy loves blueberries. I whipped together a few pies today. I've never made blueberry pie before. I'm selfish, I don't care for it, so I usually can get him to eat the blueberries in milk and sugar, in pancakes, muffins, etc. Things I like, you know? Well, he wanted pie so badly I made a few for him. They are cooling now, I'll have to take a picture before I cut into them for bed time treats.
I ran 8 miles with Topaz today. The deer flies nearly carried us off. I had a few wildlife sightings: a mama deer and her baby-laying in Topaz's' pool. We waited for them to leave before we approached the pool of water. Then I saw a huge ass bull snake. I threw a rock at it so it would go into the ditch and I could get past it. Ish. Pretty soon I saw all of the Sand Hill Cranes. They make the weirdest noise. I counted Mom and Dad and 8 furry red babies. They were squawking up a storm. I saw a huge snapping turtle too. Troy has two Box turtles. This snapper would probably eat them for a snack. It was huge. I'd love to have his shell hang up on the cabin wall, but I just couldn't kill one for its shell. I wish they would just 'shed' them.
After my run I went to lift legs. They felt pretty well rested and with 1.5 weeks to Vermont I figured I'd lift them a few times prior. Got some good numbers too:
Barbell Squat: 125x10x1; 155x8x3
Leg Press: 100x10x1; 220x8x3
Extension: 45x10x1; 100x8x3
Laying Ham Curl: 85x10x4
Deadlifts: 55x10x1; 100x8x3
Adductor: 100x10x1; 200x8x3
Abductor: 100x10x1; 210x45x1
Tonight Tyler and I rode bike for 16 miles. He complained it was too long. It was just right.

Good news on Mom!!!
Is it time to taper yet?
- Julie B said...
HI Olga, oh yeah, taper. I keep forgetting that five letter word!! Oh, and the hill I have been doing repeats on..it's 250 ft. NOTHING compared to the mountains and gorges you are used to running every day, but for this Midwestern flat lander, it's the best hill I can find ! Vermont is only 1.5 weeks out. I re read your race report. Yikes. You did so well, but it sounded hard. Lots of running, hu? Well, guess I'm as ready as can be...
- Olga said...
Jul, I'll forward you an email on VT100 I wrote for a friend of mine. Look it up.

julie...I can't wait for details on your vermont 100 race..we will all be thinking about you..you are strong, fit and ready
- Adam said...
Hi Julie,
Not even sure how I stumbled onto this blog but I'm glad I did! I was watching at FANS this year, trying to decide if I'm crazy enough to try it next year..great job! As an ultra newbie I'm really looking forward to reading more of your blog. My first was EF 2006 and I'll be doing the ST50 this year. Any advice specific to the ST races?
I grew up in Burnsville, when do you guys do your Buck Hill runs? I mentioned to Steve Q recently that I live close to something called the Richard T Anderson conservatory in Eden Prairie that can give you a tremendous hill workout as well. Best of luck, hopefully I'll be able to say hello someday!
- Julie B said...
Hey Adam; welcome to the blog and welcome to the world of ultra running. The SHT is one of my favorite places on earth. Right up there with Negril, Jamaica :). It's a tough trail, the best training is to go up and spend a weekend running there. There is NOTHING like the trail around but itself. Buck Hill may get me to a 102.5 mile finish this September. I was sorely lacking in hills last year during my attempt. I run Buck Hill on Sundays at 1200. I won't be there this Sunday as I am going to the TWINS game with the family, then next weekend I'll be running Vermont..but the last weekend in July; that is where you'll find me. I should be fairly recovered from Vermont and ready for 20 hills. Oh yeah! You should try FANS, for sure! There is always the 12 hour option-that was what I did for my first FANS.

I noticed my abc2cvm is not listed at http://abcnotation.com/software. Would it make sense to include it there? I have to admit that the number of users is probably very small and unlikely to grow much since it's probably only useful for those that write games or other software for some video game consoles from the 80s.

I started out life in Head-fi land with the HD580 (later added an OTL tube amp) and moved to the HD600 when balanced tube amps were beginning to be more affordable. The scalability of this series of headphones is really astonishing. In many ways this is mirrored with the HD800 with a practically unlimited ability to increase with gear capability.
I liked the section where you talked about build quality and listed the part numbers. I would submit that the broken headbands were a problem for the HD600 and HD650 as I still have my original HD600 and it's snapped headband from normal use. I bought a new one to replace it, thinking the headband was not available. I've recently been told the headband is available and it would be great to repair this to keep in my stable. Do you know the part number of the HD600 headband?

While paying for my leafy-topped carrots the other day to cook with the ham on Friday night, the girl at the register exclaimed, "Are these for the Easter bunny?"
I said, "Of course!" I suppose now I should actually leave one out for him, although the Easter bunny came early to our house, bringing us lots of chocolate eggs filled with caramel, cream, peanut butter and coconut.
We've had both sunshine and snow this week - in Colorado it's the April snow showers that bring May flowers. I kept my fingers crossed for a sunny Easter Sunday, and the day turned out to be so beautiful. I even got a little sun on my arms.
I love cooking family holiday dinners, remembering the old traditions and creating new ones, too. One of my all-time favorite scenes from a movie is from the family dinner scene in While You Were Sleeping - the dorky but loveable Bill Pullman and quirky Sandra Bullock resisting their attraction to each other, everyone at the dinner table talking at once about a million different topics with no one listening to anyone...
My sister and I must have had that entire movie memorized at one point, and would bounce lines back and forth in a way that never ceased to amaze my parents. How is it that I could memorize entire movies, but not remember the U.S. Presidents or any significant date in history except for 1492? And even for that one, I only remember it because of the rhyme...) But that's just the way it goes, I guess.
Jamie, on the other hand, can remember just about any type of wine we've tried on any number of special dates... and I remember what I was wearing that night.
For our Easter/Good Friday dinner with my parents, I started by slow-baking a ham for about 4 hours, basting it in a syrup of butter, brown sugar and orange juice, seasoned with cinnamon, cloves and crystallized ginger, with slices of tangerine becoming soft and candied in the juices. In the last hour of cooking, I added the carrots to the pot so they could get nicely glazed in the sweet citrus syrup. The house smelled incredible, and made my stomach growl all afternoon.
After taking the meat out of the oven, I poured the rest of the syrup from the roasting pan into a saucepan and let it reduce to a thick, fragrant sauce to drizzle over the ham and carrots before serving.
That morning, I had simmered some raisins to get them soft and plump, then mixed up the dough for the hot cross buns, using the warm raisin-infused water to activate the yeast. Adding the water used to simmer raisins into recipes was something I remember my mom doing all the time. One of my most-loved baked treats she made were Raisin Spice Bars, a soft, raisin-filled cookie bar full of sweet spices, and topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting. The batter for the cookie bars was so thick, and as much as I wanted to help stir it, I was more of a hindrance to my mom than I was a help. Something I'm sure moms don't mind most of the time, unless they just need to get something done quickly.
Hot cross buns were not something we ever made for Easter, but it's something I've been curious about, and wanted to start the tradition for Jamie and me. Until now, I thought that the white cross on top was frosting, and was surprised to learn that it was a flour/water paste which keeps the buns from browning where it's piped across them.
The soft, raisin studded dough smelled so fragrant, and was so relaxing to work with. I had no desire to let my Kitchen Aid mixer do the kneading for this recipe - I wanted to use my hands. The buns rose beautifully, looking soft, yeasty and lovely. After they came out of the oven all golden brown, I brushed some warmed orange marmalade over the top of them, which made them delightfully sticky.
For our dinner with my parents, I shaped the dough into 12 buns and baked them in a 9x13 pan, but for Sunday, I shaped them into 24 smaller buns and baked them in a mini-muffin pan, which worked just as well. I actually think the smaller buns were my favorite version.
To eat with our ham and carrots, my mom steamed colorful fingerling potatoes until they were tender, then seasoned them with butter, salt and pepper.
And for dessert, a decadent flourless chocolate cake, topped with a rich ganache. To drizzle over the cake, a warm salted caramel sauce completed the meal. I'll be writing a separate post with the recipe and photos of the cake and caramel...
After dinner, everyone was full and happy, and my parents agreed that it was an Easter dinner they wouldn't soon forget!
Now after eating two Easter dinners in one weekend, I think it's time for a nap on the couch while I watch While You Were Sleeping...
Citrus and Brown Sugar-Glazed Ham and Carrots
printable recipe
- 1 smoked ham, bone-in, about 6-8 pounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons crystallized (candied) ginger, chopped
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 cups orange juice
- 2 oranges, tangerines, minneolas, etc, thinly sliced
- 1 cup water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 bunch organic carrots with leafy tops (7-8 carrots)
Several hours before you plan to start baking the ham, set it on the counter to let it come to room temperature - this will help it to warm through evenly. Take a sharp knife and score the fat and skin crosswise in a diamond pattern, all over the ham. Rub the ham with the olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. Rub the ham with the crystallized ginger, working it into the cuts. Set aside in a roasting pan with a rack.
In a large saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, orange juice, sliced oranges, water, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for about 30 minutes. Taste it - the citrus syrup is so delicious, you'll want to drink it straight from the pot!
Preheat the oven to 300. Pour the syrup and slices of fruit all over the ham. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of the ham, not touching the bone. Bake for about 3-4 hours (about 18-20 minutes per pound), basting with the syrup every 30 minutes, until the internal temperature is 150. The skin and fat will be crispy and browned, even blackened in some areas, and the ham inside will be extremely moist and flavorful.
While the ham is baking, trim the tops off the carrots, leaving a little green for a pretty effect. Peel the carrots, if you like. When the ham has about an hour left to bake, place the carrots in the roasting pan with the ham and baste them with the juices. If the carrots aren't tender enough by the time the ham is done, you can return them to the oven in a separate baking dish and roast until tender (I returned my carrots to the oven to finish up while I baked the hot cross buns, and roasting them at 400 gave them the nice charred, candied edges that everyone loved).
When the ham and carrots are done, remove from the oven and cover with foil to rest while you finish the rest of the meal. Use a bulb baster to remove the liquid from the roasting pan. Pour it into a saucepan and place on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until reduced and very flavorful. Drizzle the syrup over the ham and carrots before serving.
Ham Stock:
To make your own ham stock, slice as much ham off the bone as you can for leftovers. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stock pot. Add 1 diced sweet yellow onion with a pinch of salt, and saute for 5 minutes. Add the ham bone, 4 whole cloves of garlic, a handful of fresh sage, 1 tablespoon black peppercorns, several teaspoons of salt, 1 tablespoon whole cloves and 1 thinly sliced orange. If I had them on hand, I would have also added some chopped celery and carrots. You could also add cinnamon and nutmeg, and any number of fresh or dried herbs that you like. Fill the pot with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium low to simmer for 4-5 hours. Turn off the heat, strain the liquid and let cool. After it cools, skim off the fat, and you'll have a delicious homemade ham stock. I like to portion out my homemade stock in freezer bags or small Tupperware, and freeze for future use, so that I can just thaw out what I need for a particular recipe.
Recipe from Curly Girl Kitchen
Hot Cross Buns
printable recipe
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 cups water
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened, cut into pieces
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade, slightly warmed
Combine the raisins and water in a small saucepan. Over medium low heat, bring barely to a simmer, just enough to plump up the raisins. Drain, reserving the water.
Measure 1 1/3 cups of the hot raisin water into a small mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and yeast. Set aside for 10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, salt, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Sprinkle the pieces of butter over the flour and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until crumbly. Add the beaten eggs and raisins and stir just to moisten the mixture. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir to form a soft dough.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes, adding the remaining 1/2 cup flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to rise until doubled in size, about an hour.
Punch the dough down with your fist. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and use a bench scraper or knife to cut into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, and place in a greased 9x13 baking dish. I also made these smaller for a party on Sunday, dividing the dough into 24 small balls, and baking the buns in a mini-muffin pan - very cute!
If you'll be baking these immediately, go ahead and preheat the oven to 400. Let the buns rise again for 15-20 minutes in a warm place before baking. If you're preparing these in advance, then at this point, cover the pan of buns with plastic and refrigerate immediately. The cool temperature will help to slow down the second rising - although they will still rise a little in the fridge. Remove from the fridge to come to room temperature 1 hour before baking. These can be made up to a day in advance.
The last step before baking the buns is to mix the flour/water paste to create the cross. Many recipes call for equal parts flour and water, but I found that ratio to be far too thin, and it ran everywhere. Start with 2 parts flour and 1 part water, then slowly add a little more water if needed to create a thick, but pliable paste. Scrape the paste into a plastic baggie and snip off the corner. Pipe the paste across the buns to create a cross across each.
Bake the buns for 10 minutes at 400. Reduce the heat to 350, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until risen and golden brown. Before serving, brush the tops of the buns with the warmed orange marmalade.
Yields 12 large or 24 medium buns.

Pieter Jeltjes (16th/17th century)
Pieter Jeltjes, a Dutch elder and merchant living at Kollum, province of Friesland, and a member of the Old Frisian branch of the Mennonites. In 1599 he became involved in a disagreement with Elder Jan Jacobsz, who was very strict, considering it sin to sell to non-Mennonites, and who at a conference of Old Frisian delegates meeting at Dokkum on 16 December 1599, banned the more liberal Pieter Jeltjes and his adherents (known as Pieter-Jeltjesvolk). Concerning Pieter's life and work nothing further is known.

Ford F-1 Windshield Replacement - Interior Decorating
Keeping The Elements Out
If you're a customized classic truck aficionado there probably aren't too many challenges related to building one that you find intimidating. And while we like to put ourselves in that "willing to try anything once category" the truth is one thing we've always been hesitant to attempt is installing a windshield. Let's face it, glass is weird stuff-how can it be tough and fragile at the same time? And how do you deal with something that is both?
When we decided to update the interior of our F-1 it was obvious the windshield and back glass rubbers would have to be replaced. As happens on most vintage trucks, the rubber seals around both had deteriorated and as a result each leaked in several spots. Driving in the rain or hosing down the half-ton created several little mini waterfalls running off the dash and down the back of the seat-with the old trashed interior it didn't matter much so it was simply a matter of mopping up, but with the all the updates planned, the cab had to be made watertight.
No Pain in the Glass
As the windshield and back glass were to be reused we figured taking them out was best done with an extra set of hands to prevent disaster. Removing the glass is simply a matter of using a razor blade to cut away the lip on the rubber gasket that fits over the opening in the body. One lip is thinner than the other (the inside of the windshield gasket and the outside of the rear window gasket in this case) consequently it will be easier to cut. However, even with the gasket's lip sliced away the glass may still be stuck in the opening. It's not unusual for some sort of sealer to be slathered on to cure a leak and they tend to glue the glass in place. Resist the temptation to stick something under the edge of the glass and pry-that's a sure way to crack the glass. Instead, use the palm of your hand and slap the glass around the edges until it comes loose. Once the glass has been removed inspect the area where the rubber fits carefully. At the very least a thorough cleaning will be required and chances are good some repair will be required-and now's the time to take care of it.
Installing the windshield and back glass is surprisingly easy. We ordered new rubber from Sacramento Vintage Ford and an installation kit that consisted of a length of cord, hand cleaner to be used as a lubricant, and last but not least, instructions that are worth the $5 the kit goes for.
With the new seal on the glass, the cord is placed in the groove in the rubber that fits around the lip of the body. Then the glass is placed in the opening (the windshield goes in from the outside, the rear window from the inside) the cord is pulled out and away from the glass, rolling the rubber over the lip of the opening.
Venting Frustrations
Plugging all the Ford's water leaks meant we also had to deal with the F-1's cowl vent. In the past we've filled these in, but we discovered having one that was operational had some advantages-when cruising with the windows down, opening the cowl vent actually cuts down on the wind buffeting inside the cab. Replacing the cowl vent seal requires removing the entire assembly, which is a process that makes one appreciate the engineers who designed the apparatus. With the knob removed from the handle there's just enough room to work the assembly up and out of the cowl-1/16 inch added to any dimension and it would take a cutting torch to get it out. Like replacing rubber seals on the glass, cleaning the mating surfaces is the most time-consuming part of replacing the cowl gasket.
Making a Clean Sweep
While we were making the truck's cabin watertight we opted to continue preparations for foul weather and installed a new windshield wiper system from Bob Galbraith's New Port Engineering. Frankly, there's not much to say about New Port's offerings, they make kits for over 150 applications and every one we've ever used fit perfectly and functioned just as it should. Every aftermarket part should be this simple to install and work as well.

(The Root) — Some actors court the limelight, while others, like Anthony Mackie, simply prefer to return home to New Orleans after an acting gig to sip on a fresh daiquiri and scarf down a hot oyster po'boy.
"I got into the game to be a working actor, not to be a celebrity," Mackie told The Root. The Louisiana native honed his acting on Broadway (Topdog/Underdog) and in independent films (Half Nelson). "There's a reason why I live in New Orleans or don't go to certain restaurants and have my picture taken outside."
Living beyond Hollywood's TMZ cameras allows Mackie creative freedom and anonymity, which he cherishes and draws upon in his new film, Gangster Squad. In the movie, which hit theaters recently, Mackie plays Officer Coleman Harris, a cop in 1940s Los Angeles whose weapon of choice is a switchblade. Harris joins a secret group of policemen that include characters played by Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Michael Peña and Robert Patrick. They're charged with stopping New York gangster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) from taking over the city.
Originally slated to hit theaters last September, the film was held and re-edited in light of the mass shooting in Aurora, Colo., where armed gunman James Holmes mowed down numerous moviegoers during a Dark Knight screening.
"It was one of the first examples I remember of life imitating art — it was scary," Mackie recalled.
Now that the freshened Gangster Squad is ready for action, Mackie is busy elsewhere bulking up for a new role. He will play Marvel Comic's first African-American superhero, the Falcon (née Sam Wilson), in Captain America: The Winter Soldier this year and later in The Avengers 2.
Subjecting himself to two daily workouts and a butter-free diet in a town known for its rich food, Mackie has shown serious dedication. And with a big-budget summer blockbuster on the horizon, the fame he so deftly sidesteps may come knocking anyway, po'boys or not.
The Root spoke to Mackie about joining the Gangster Squad, playing the Falcon and the awful possibility that there may never be another Morris Chestnut.
The Root: Ruben Fleischer, director of Gangster Squad, told the Daily News, "Mackie is on the path to stardom, and everyone in Hollywood knows it." What do you say to that?
Anthony Mackie: I like where I am in this business right now, and whatever the business affords me, I'm going to take it in stride. There are a lot of drawbacks to celebrity. I have a lot of celebrity friends, and the way they choose to live their life dictates how big a celebrity they become, and it's not the lifestyle I'm looking for. I grew up in the theater in New York, and you learn how to live on $425 a week. I don't need much.
TR: What happened during the deleted Gangster Squad scene?
AM: It was very close to what happened in Colorado. We set up a sting on a guy, and he walks into a movie theater. We follow him and he comes from behind the screen, shooting at us. But not only is he shooting at us; he's also mowing down people in the theater trying to get to us. As artists, we have a social responsibility to our audience, and it would've been a huge travesty to leave that scene in without being sympathetic to what people experienced in Colorado.
TR: As a cast member of director Kathryn Bigelow's 2008 film, The Hurt Locker, what are your thoughts on her new film about capturing Osama bin Laden, Zero Dark Thirty?
AM: I think it was a travesty that she wasn't nominated for best director by the Academy Awards. She took a story that we all knew and followed every day and made it compelling and interesting, while putting all of her actors in a place to give their best performances. If that's not good directing, I don't know what is. Her movie was definitely better than eight of the nine films nominated for best film.
TR: In the upcoming The Avengers 2 and Captain America sequel, you'll play the Falcon. How are you preparing? One fan board said you'd have to bulk up and be sure to look exceptionally mean.
AM: That's funny! That's probably some fat dude in Connecticut saying, "You need to go to the gym!" I've actually become a gym rat again. But instead of getting bigger — because the Falcon was written as a man who was 6 foot 4 and 230 pounds; he was massive — mine is a different take on who he is, as opposed to being specific to the comic book, like all of the Marvel movies. You'll definitely get your Falcon fix, and I will look amazing!
TR: Will we ever see you on a TV show like Scandal with your former Night Catches Us co-star Kerry Washington?
AM: Scandal is a great show. I love to see my friends on TV and working, but doing TV takes a lot of time and takes you out of a lot of great film opportunities. But I'm looking forward to turning 55, getting on Law & Order: New Orleans and chilling out, but not yet. As for returning to Broadway, I'm looking for plays, but it's very difficult right now because I'm working on so many film projects.
TR: Like the Sundance entry The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete. What's that film about?
AM: That's an amazing project, and one that I'm most proud to be a part of. It's about two little kids in Brooklyn trying to figure out how to grow up and be men in a society that does not support them in that challenge.
TR: That sounds like a far cry from the inevitable big-budget push of a blockbuster such as The Avengers. Ready for the media blitz that movie will get?
AM: I love my anonymity. The problem is, there are certain stories I want to tell, and the film industry isn't making those movies we enjoyed in the 1990s and early 2000s. People are saying there'll never be another Denzel; I'm saying there'll never be another Morris Chestnut!
You have to garner a certain amount of celebrity to tell those stories — love stories and victim stories and fallen-angel stories. We should make those movies ourselves, [but] if you get hired to ghostwrite a script or write on a TV show, you're making a lot of money, so why work for free when you have a mortgage?
That's the negotiation a lot of people have fallen into that I stay away from, because I don't have a $75,000 car note and a mansion or a YouTube channel where I'm throwing money at chicks. I live in New Orleans; I drink daiquiris and go fishing. When you live a modest lifestyle, you can have a modest approach to your job.

Thursday's stock hullabaloo was all about Facebook and how it closed at its lowest point yet. The bigger hullabaloo is that Apple closed at an all-time high of $636.34 per share.
Apple increased it's market cap and increased its lead in the "most valuable company on the planet" race, with the company now valued at $596,511,500.
The share price saw a $5.51 increase (up 0.87 percent). The highest Apple has ever traded at is an intraday spike of $644 on April 10, 2012.
U.S. & World
What's more is Apple's been tearing it up since its (ahem) disappointing earnings report. You know, the one where Wall Street didn't like the amount of iPhone units that went unsold.

As an important member in the small community dedicated to spurring growth among promising Mexican businesses, Endeavor Mexico has found new support in its initiative. Meet ArCcanto. Victor Calderón Cuevas and Arturo Merino Licea are the entrepreneurs behind ArCcanto and have led it to become a financial intermediary that aims to provide small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) with access to credit. Since project-financing and other non-operational debt (investment-financing) in Mexico has always been restricted to large companies and carried out by investment banks, their initiative offers much needed support. Most commercial banks will not even lend to SMEs (other than offering working capital loans), severely limiting the ability of these companies to pursue debt-financed expansion. Complicating matters further, most SMEs lack a CFO and often rely, instead, on the basic financial skills of their owner or a general accountant. In attempting to tackle these problems, ArCcanto is the first of its kind in Mexico—an external CFO that enables SMEs to grow faster and obtain larger amounts of credit in better conditions. ArCcanto is currently helping Endeavor carry out its mission of supporting Mexico's most talented high-impact entrepreneurs by serving two Endeavor entrepreneurs, Daniel Espinosa and Café Punta del Cielo, in procuring long-term financing.
The two entrepreneurs were inspired to take on their current roles by the years they spent working in commercial banking developing the desire to improve the banking system of which they were a part. Victor received a B.A. in accounting and an MBA from the prestigious Instituto Tecnologico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM) before beginning his career in the corporate finance division at Bancomer—Mexico's second largest bank. Arturo also received a B.A and a Master's degree in finance from ITESM and also went on to work at Bancomer, managing a portfolio of commercial loans for clients in diverse industries throughout Mexico, while teaching accounting and finance classes to undergrads. Although the two entrepreneurs share similar backgrounds, their paths did not cross until 2004 when they worked together as Senior Relationship Managers for Scotiabank's capital markets division in Mexico. As the two youngest Senior RMs in their department, Arturo and Victor had ostensibly attained their respective ''dream jobs.'' However, ten years in commercial banking had also opened their eyes to problems in the credit market for small and medium-sized businesses. Seeing opportunity in inefficiency, the two bankers decided to become entrepreneurs.
In 2004, Arturo and Victor resigned from Scotiabank and began working on ArCcanto. The early stages of building the business were often a struggle: the pair worked tirelessly out of Arturo's apartment for six months, exhausting their rolodexes searching for clients. But in 2005 they achieved a major breakthrough when they allied with the Mexican Secretary of the Economy to procure loans for SME's under US$100,000 that were guaranteed by the Secretary's fund for small and medium-sized businesses (Known as Fondo PyMES, Spanish for SMEs Fund). During 2006, ArCcanto provided credit for more than 300 SMEs and became the principal partner of the Secretary of the Economy. The alliance quickly paid dividends, which brought ArCcanto national recognition and a platform to launch its more ambitious program, ArCcanto Capital, which Arturo and Victor saw as the future of the company.
ArCcanto Capital enables the company to obtain loans of over US$100,000 for small and medium-sized businesses, making ArCcanto the first financial intermediary in Mexico to solely target SMEs in the US$1 – US$50 million sales range. By developing strong relationships with Mexico's ten largest banks and other financial institutions, ArCcanto has been able to obtain credit for its clients by providing a ''one-stop-credit-shop'' where they have access to and choices between various lenders and types of financing. Because the company is keen to protect its reputation among lenders, it performs rigorous due diligence before presenting clients to lenders, extensively prepares clients for the credit-application processes and provides on-going follow-up to monitor their evolving credit needs. Of all the clients authorized for credit by ArCcanto, less than 1% have been rejected for financing and not one has ever defaulted!
Endeavor Mexico has helped the Entrepreneurs obtain government funding, in addition to mentorship on organizational structure and support with staff recruitment. Arturu and Victor have participated in an Immersion Tour and Entrepreneur Summit.
Demonstrating commitment, the Entrepreneurs have worked with Endeavor on the financial review of potential and current Entrepreneurs, many of whom have become clients.

The mission of the Office of Financial Aid is to serve students and parents by providing them with information to secure the necessary financial resources to meet their educational goals and financial obligations to the University. This is accomplished by informing them of types of financial assistance available and assisting them through the process to obtain it.
Dear Student,
Financial Aid is made available by a process through which the student, the student's family, and Texas A&M International University work together through federal, state, and local programs to assist in meeting the student's financial needs to attend college.
To obtain an equitable appraisal of the family's financial resources and ability to meet the cost of education of the student, TAMIU uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is processed by the United States Department of Education. These services provide the student and the university a reasonable figure representing the student's total Expected Family Contribution (EFC) toward their educational costs. This amount, the EFC, is based on a formula developed by the U.S. Department of Education and approved by the United States Congress.
Students must reapply annually for aid and it is strongly recommended that the student continue to utilize the no-fee form, FAFSA. Each FAFSA is valid for the long semesters, Fall and Spring as well as the Summer sessions. FAFSAs filed for use in the previous academic year are not valid towards the current academic year.
The intent of this Website is to assist the student in understanding the programs and policies related to the aspects of Financial Aid and associated programs. The information is subject to revision. For more detailed and current information, it is suggested that the student contact the TAMIU Office of Financial Aid.

Proceeds from the sale of this print benefit both Aperture Foundation and Foundation Rwanda (http://www.foundationrwanda.org/).
"This photograph of Jean-Paul was taken in 2006 while working on my Intended Consequences project in Rwanda. Jean-Paul was thirteen years old and living with his mother, a genocide survivor, in a crumbling one-room mud house just a couple of hours' drive from Kigali, the Rwandan capital. He was not going to school at the time because his mother could not afford to buy him a uniform and shoes. Today, he is fifteen years old, back in school, and doing well thanks to the support of Foundation Rwanda, a non-profit I cofounded to support secondary school education for children born as a result of sexual violence during the 1994 genocide." —Jonathan Torgovnik
An estimated twenty thousand children were born of rapes that occurred during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Fifteen years later, the mothers of these children still faced enormous challenges, among them being stigmatized within their communities for bearing a child fathered by a Hutu militiaman. Over a three-year period, photographer Jonathan Torgovnik made repeated visits to Rwanda to document the experiences of these women, allowing them to tell their stories. These portraits and testimonies are featured in the artist's monograph, Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape (Aperture, 2009). They offer intensely personal accounts of these survivors' experiences of the genocide, as well as their conflicted feelings about raising a child who is a living reminder of horrors endured.
In addition to financing the education of children born of rapes committed during the 1994 genocide, Foundation Rwanda, cofounded by Torgovnik, links their mothers to existing psychological and medical support services and creates awareness about the consequences of genocide and sexual violence through photography and new media.
Jonathan Torgovnik's (born in Israel, 1969) photographs have been widely exhibited and published in numerous international publications, including Newsweek, Aperture, GEO, Sunday Times Magazine, and Stern. He has been a contract photographer for Newsweek magazine since 2005, and is on the faculty of the International Center of Photography School in New York. In 2007, Torgovnik won the National Portrait Gallery's Photographic Portrait Prize for an image from the series Intended Consequences. In 2009, Aperture published his book Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape.

Gun control has become a big deal in the United States as of late, especially after a series of school shootings and street violence. Civil rights movements and protests have become common, and people have taken turns marking the NRA as evil.
In the case of school shootings the argument is on many occasions along these lines. A child who plays violent video games (Mortal Combat, Doom) listens to "negative" music (Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails), and who is bullied, is more inclined to become a child ready to kill.
I for one vaguely understand this.
Here is a quote to explain how I feel about gun control.
"The defense of one's self, justly called the primary law of nature, is not, nor can it be abrogated by any regulation of municipal law."

As I have been preparing my presentation for Digital Asset Management Chicago 2011, I have been thinking quite a bit about metadata and how publishers manage it. Carolyn McCray has posted some intriguing articles at the Digital Book World site examining how metadata can be used to increase sales: Best Practices for Amazon eBook Sales, Maximizing Digital Book Sales, Part 1; and Maximizing Digital Book Sales, Part 2. Carolyn also participated in a great DBW Roundtable with Matt Mullin on how to Optimize Your Titles for Online Bookselling.
The key on Amazon is to reduce each customer's resistance to buying the book. There are two main ways to do this according to Carolyn. The first is optimizing your product description along the lines of this formula: an endorsement from an authoritative source, a short product description, and a strong call to action (buy this book if you love . . .). The second is to use the book category to place the book in less competitive company. This will allow your book to more easily reach the top 100 for the category, and once this ranking in the top 100 shows up on your product page, there is even less resistance to customers to buy the book.
The book description is part of the metadata. Carolyn suggests that publishers should to A/B testing week to week until they find a description that sells the book. If sales begin to drop at some point, start testing again, and change the description.
The categories on Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing that publishers/authors can choose are actually BISAC codes. While it is best practice to choose a BISAC code the most fully defines the book, Carolyn is suggesting going even further than this. She suggests that publishers look as different possible BISAC categories and choose one that is least competitive. This is similar to checking Google Ad Words to determine which keywords you use on your product description on your own homepage.
Michael Bhaskar, Digital Publishing Director, Profile Books, makes some similar points on his post on metadata in publishing. The two most important paragraphs in this short post are:
Metadata influences search, it influences territoriality and categorisation – metadata is the advert, the sales pitch, the sell in and the advance promotion; metadata is the random book left on the table, the fervent recommendation of a friend, the arresting blurb, the good review, serving the random browser and the determined buyer alike.
Bad metadata means your book is invisible and un-purchasable. Yet compared to many industries either totally or increasingly focused on digital commerce, publishing lags in its understanding of SEO practices, metadata standards implementation, data collection and analysis and systems investment.
I think that most publishers have embraced SEO to some degree on their Web sites. I think the next place the industry needs to go is to MDO—Metadata Optimization. Many publishers treat metadata as something to be completed and left alone. I believe there are huge opportunities if publishers instead begin to optimize metadata, taking advantage of the ability of ONIX feeds to update metadata at all trading partners. This will allow publishers to match product descriptions to marketing and pr campaigns, update them when there are major media appearances, and tie products to current events.
I am sure that a book should have a different description as it moves from pre-publication, to new release, to the heart of the marketing campaign, to backlist. How should they be different? I honestly don't know at this point.
With discoverability on the Web becoming such a crucial issue with books—especially eBooks—I don't think publishers can afford to post the metadata for their books and leave it as is for the life of the book. They need to treat metadata as a tool to be managed to maximize the life-time sales of each book. Will it be easy? No. Will it take time? Yes. But how can you afford not to pursue MDO?
By the way, it isn't too late to register for Digital Asset Management Chicago 2011. If you enter the coupon code DIENER100, you can even save $100. If you go, make sure you say hi. You can also follow the conference on Twitter at #DAMChicago.
What do you think? Are you optimizing your metadata? How?

Kobe versus LeBron: The Measure of Greatness"Who you got?" It's the classic basketball question, whether you are choosing sides on the playground or selecting the greatest players in the NBA. Chamberlain or Russell? Robertson or West? Dr. J or Larry Bird? Magic or Michael? "Who you got?"
When it comes to perimeter players in the NBA, my answer for the past several years has been Kobe Bryant--and Thursday's showdown between Bryant's L.A. Lakers and LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers demonstrated why. If you just look at the numbers, LeBron performed at least as well as Kobe: 28 points, 9 assists, 2 rebounds, 11-22 field goal shooting and 4-9 free throw shooting for James versus 27 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 9-21 field goal shooting and 8-8 free throw shooting for Bryant. But if you watched the game you saw that Kobe made every big play down the stretch. When Bill Russell used to work CBS' NBA telecasts he would always say, "It's not how many you score, it's when you score them." He mentioned that after Dr. J scored 7 points in the last two minutes of game four of the 1983 Finals to secure a sweep for the 76ers.
Kobe got off to a hot start on Thursday versus the Cavs, but after he sprained his right wrist in the second quarter he only made 1 of his next 11 shots from the field. With 3:30 left in the fourth quarter Kobe missed a shot and the Cavaliers extended their lead to 90-87 after Drew Gooden followed up LeBron James' miss. The game was there for the taking--and Kobe took it. After Lamar Odom hit a jumper to trim the lead to one, Kobe stole the ball from LeBron and assisted on Devean George's three pointer to give the Lakers a 92-90 lead. Zydrunas Ilgauskas countered with a jumper to tie the game and Odom made one of two free throws to put the Lakers ahead. Eric Snow knotted the score at 93 with 1:40 to go by also splitting a pair of free throws. Then, with everyone in the building knowing who is going to get the ball, Kobe scored the Lakers' final six points on three long jumpers. Each shot gave the Lakers the lead after the Cavs had tied the game on the previous possession.
Kobe fouled LeBron on a drive with five seconds left and the Lakers up by two. LeBron made the first free throw and Drew Gooden rebounded the second, giving the Cavs one final chance. After a timeout, Kobe guarded LeBron and forced him to miss a fadeaway shot as time expired. As TNT's Steve Kerr said right after James' miss, "In the last couple minutes I think we saw what separates Kobe from LeBron, at least at this point in LeBron's career." How does Kobe do it? Kerr, who of course played with Michael Jordan on three championship teams, said that Kobe is mentally stronger than any player since Jordan. James, who is obviously a fantastic player in his own right, himself commented in a recent interview that Kobe has a "killer instinct" that he does not. I recall Brett Favre's comment when he played with a broken thumb on his throwing hand. He said that it was "Mind over matter--if I don't mind, it don't matter."
Kobe has produced in clutch moments to win division titles, to win playoff games and to win championships. No, he's not Jordan, but he's the closest current player to Jordan and is indistinguishable from Jordan in terms of competitiveness, focus and willpower. As Kobe said simply after the game, "I live for these moments."

"He doesn't deserve whatever happened to him," said Sherron Kaba while holding back tears.
A construction worker found Kaba's 19-year-old son Daquan Crump's body at a Northeast Philadelphia demolition site Monday morning.
"The only thing I can tell you right now is that it appears it was very personal and very vicious," said Philadelphia police Captain James Clark.
U.S. & World
Crump was shot 10 to 12 times in the face and head, Clark said.
"It appears he was taken or walked into that area and shot multiple times while he was on the ground," said Clark.
Crump's backpack, which he always carried, was near his body. Inside was his Wendy's uniform. He worked at a nearby Wendy's, police say, and that is the last place he was seen when he left work around 11 p.m. Saturday.
Investigators are trying to figure out where Crump was between then and 5:30 a.m. Monday morning.
A construction worker found Crump's body around 7:20 a.m. at the former site of Black Red White Furniture along the 10000 block of Northeast Avenue in the Somerton section of Northeast Philadelphia.
The worker called 911 and emergency responders rushed to the scene. The construction site is located across the street from the fields behind George Washington High School not far from Red Lion Road and the Roosevelt Boulevard (Route 1).
Police say Crump both lived and worked in the neighborhood and that he never had any trouble with the law.
"He lives with his mother and also his grandmother, Clark said. "He goes back and forth. We know he was not with either of them last night."
Family members say they last saw Crump Thursday night.
Crump was a GW High grad who began working at Wendy's two weeks ago, according to his family.
Clark said police need someone to come forward with information to help them solve this murder.
According to Licenses and Inspections records, demolition permits for the property were issued dating back to 2009. There are 15 separate violations listed for the property ranging from high weeds on the property to partial collapses.

Car review: Mazda builds fun, efficiency into CX-5 compact SUV
If there's an ideal vehicle for every buyer, consider matching Mazda's 2013 CX-5 with Zeus or better yet, his kids' baby sitter.
Although no gilded chariot, this all-new compact sport utility vehicle has the sturdy construction to climb Mt. Olympus, impressive safety features to keep little Herakles in one piece and the adroit handling ability to outmaneuver any errant lightning bolt thrown its way.
Plus, for anyone with a bit of a commute and interested in saving gas, consider the CX-5's fuel economy. The vehicle is the first from Mazda to be designed from the ground up using an engineering philosophy that's on a quest for efficiency.
What does Mazda call this new approach? SkyActiv. If that doesn't sound like a Twitter handle for Zeus, I don't know what does.
The CX-5 starts at $21,490, and it presents itself as the sporty, fun alternative to a segment dominated by the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Chevy Equinox and Ford Escape. The company's Zoom-Zoom advertising mantra is actually more than just marketing drivel, and the CX-5 lives up to that claim. Mostly.
Point it at a winding road and it'll move like a "Dancing With the Stars" contestant. The steering on the front-wheel-drive model I tested was tight and communicative; the suspension was firm but comfortable while allowing less body roll than you'd expect; and the entire vehicle just felt agile.
A six-speed automatic transmission is standard on all models except the base CX-5, and though it's clearly geared for efficiency, drivers can put it into manual mode and choose their own adventure. Doing so results in reams of gratification sourced from the transmission's quick, precise shifts.
Although it's no sports car, Mazda has managed to inject an appreciable element of fun into a segment that can always use more. But don't confuse the relative driving enjoyment borne from handling with enjoyment borne from raw power. The CX-5 is decidedly low on the latter.
It gets 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque from the same 2.0-liter, direct-injected four cylinder engine that's found in the Mazda 3. That's a significant deficit compared with the rest of the segment where 175 horsepower is average and Honda's CR-V has 185.
Although fine for city driving, the engine's power disadvantage is noticeable on onramps or in passing situations, which require more time and patience than some drivers will like. However, the engine earns a gold star for its quiet and refined demeanor, even when pushing it hard to overtake Droopy in the right lane.
The low power output is also a key reason the vehicle can stay toward the top of the segment for fuel economy.
The model I tested was rated at 26 miles per gallon in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. That highway rating ties it for best in the segment while the city rating blows away any other non-hybrid competitor by at least four mpg. Over 230 miles of more city than highway driving, I averaged 25.1 miles per gallon.
Also helping that fuel economy is the fact that the CX-5 is one of the lightest vehicles in its class. This is a result of that SkyActiv philosophy.
Goofy moniker aside, SkyActiv is basically Mazda putting a name to the practice of adapting existing technologies to make the automobile and its components lighter and more efficient. Thus, hybrid power plants or fancy dual-clutch and continuously variable transmissions are eschewed in favor of a high-compression engine and a transmission that has the characteristics of both a dual-clutch and CVT.
The CX-5 adds to that a lighter, more rigid chassis made largely from high-tensile steel that enables the CX-5 to feel solid and composed when slogging through rough terrain, be it roads or trails. And I was driving the front-wheel drive model. All-wheel drive is a $1,250 option.
High-tensile steel is also used in the body panels on the CX-5, which Mazda shaped for a sporty, athletic demeanor. At the front, a large, trapezoidal grille is flanked by low-slung, wraparound headlights that sit above a tastefully aggressive bumper. The lower portion of the doors have a subtle crease that denotes movement. The rear end happens abruptly thanks to a short overhang and features wraparound, horizontal taillights and a compact rear window.
The CX-5's sporty inclinations are reflected in the interior as well, but this time it's to a fault. It's as well put together as the rest of the vehicle and features an impressive soft-touch dashboard and piano-black trim.
But the overall aesthetic and layout feels a bit stark. It doesn't have the warmth or luxury that's possible on Honda's CR-V or Chevrolet's Equinox. That's not to say those vehicles have Beluga caviar dripping from the door handles, but in the grand scheme of compact SUVs, it's likely they'll appeal to a broader, more mainstream audience than will the inside of this Mazda.
Making matters worse are charmless seats and a lamentable, confusing, almost afterthought of a navigation system (it's a TomTom unit that's part of the $1,325 tech package.) Interior dimensions including rear seats and cargo room are about average for this segment, with plenty of room for taller passengers anywhere in the cabin.
Safety is doled out in heaps, with all CX-5s coming standard with six air bags, stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes, a tire-pressure monitoring system and 24-hour roadside assistance.
What came as a very welcome surprise is that the middle-of-the-road Touring model (yours for $24,690) and the Grand Touring model I tested not only come with a standard backup camera but also a blind-spot monitoring system. It was as useful and effective as those found on cars costing two or three times as much, and such a system is almost unheard of on any vehicle costing less than $30,000.
That value quotient is a mainstay of all CX-5 models. My Grand Touring version rang in at $29,165. For that coin you get a moon roof, dual-zone climate control, leather seats that are heated in the front, an excellent Bose sound system, the decidedly non-excellent navigation system, HID headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, 19-inch alloy wheels and the aforementioned backup camera and blind-spot monitoring system.
Mazda has a rich history of injecting a sporty note into segments that are otherwise flat, and it's done it again with the CX-5. Although low on power and interior moxie, it's high on driving enjoyment, safety and efficiency. The trade-off will probably suit plenty of buyers unenthused with what the rest of the segment offers.
Including those who work for Zeus.

For the week ending 28 January 2006 / 28 Tevet 5766
A Blessing for the Dog
"Rabbi, my pet dog is very sick and needs your blessing."
This was the heartfelt plea of a secular Jew who had come to the distinguished Torah scholar who had a reputation for invoking Heavenly mercy for sick people through his blessings and prayers.
Rather than rebuke this fellow for making such an outlandish request, the rabbi listened carefully and even expressed empathy for the dog owner's agony. He then turned to him and said:
"It is customary that when we pray for someone we mention the name of that person's mother as well. If you can supply me with the name of your sick dog's mother we will then consider the question of giving you the blessing you request."

Megachurch Pastor: Live During Lent Like You Have 30 Days Left on Earth
A megachurch pastor from Texas is asking people during the season of Lent to consider how they would behave if they knew this time period before Easter was their last days on earth.
Pastor Kerry Shook, and his wife, Chris, are challenging their congregation of more than 15,000 during this season to accept the reality of their mortality, and to learn to live a more intentional and meaningful life without regrets.
To do that, they are using their book, One Month to Live: Thirty Days to a No-Regrets Life, which was released in 2008 and recently updated in a new paperback version.
The 30-day challenge of the book ties in with the last 30 days of Jesus' life and also fits in with the season of Lent the church is currently in. Lent is typically a time when Christians give up or "fast" from something for 40 days leading up to Easter. It is a time people reflect on removing obstacles that keep them from knowing Christ more deeply.
Pastor Shook told The Christian Post that the Protestant Church doesn't always talk about Lent, but said that it's an important time to prepare for Easter, which is why his church, The Woodlands Church, is participating in it.
He said this season is geared toward turning what you learn from it into a lifestyle, and not just something you do for a month. It's "living passionately from what God has placed in your heart," Shook said.
This passion is part of the reason the husband-and-wife team decided to write the book. They said they spent a lot of time with people on their deathbeds or at the end of their lives – people who said they wished they had done more in life, had tried something new, or repaired a relationship. Many people had regrets of not living to the fullest with the time they had been given.
Shook said that in talking to many of these people, he and his wife began to study how Jesus lived when he knew he only had one month to live. "He lived passionately and invested his life completely. The goal [of the book] is to help people seek to live this way," he said.
Throughout the study, the book focuses on four key principles the Shooks took from Jesus' final days on earth. This includes: to live passionately, love completely, learn humbly, and leave boldly, creating a legacy that will impact generations. Each of the thirty chapters – one per day – offers strategies and tools to help bring about permanent changes in the reader's lives.
"People think of Lent as a time to take something out, but this is putting something in," Chris Shook said. "It's really about asking yourself, did I do everything I possibly could while here on this earth, and did I use up everything the Lord gave me?"
The Lent season and the book are also meant to conquer what the Shooks call "someday" syndrome--always waiting for someday when your schedule calms down, your finances improve, or your kids grow up so you can begin to live the life you've always dreamed of.
But the Shooks believe that people should stop living on autopilot and become determined to make the most of every moment when they realize they don't have much time left on earth.
Chris Shook said that the book doesn't claim that after 30 days you will have completely changed. She said people are really just getting started, that it's the beginning of a process. It's about "spending time on what things I want to change in my life. Where I won't have regrets, [or] leave anything on the table," she told CP.
Pastor Shook said he is encouraged that more churches are beginning to celebrate Lent, because the power of it is something that many miss out on. If you really look at the meaning of the season, he said, it's not just about giving up and denying things. It's about developing new habits, and "adding things to your life, really preparing for the Resurrection."

Her2/neu expression on disseminated tumor cells in the bone marrow and on the primary tumor – an insight into tumor biology
Search Medline for
|March 20, 2006
Background: While the prognostic impact of disseminated tumor cells in bone marrow (DTC) at primary diagnosis of breast cancer has reached LOE I (Braun et al., NEJM 2005), there is also growing evidence that the presence of DTC during follow-up indicates an increased risk for subsequent recurrence (Janni, Cancer 2005). Therefore, DTC might proof as potential target for tailored treatment options in these patients. Aim of this study was to establish a new method to analyse cytokeratin-positive (CK+) cells for her2/neu gene amplification.
Methods: DTC were detected using a standardized immunoassay with monoclonal antibody A45-B/B3, directed against cytokeratin 8,18,19 (CK) and stained according to the APAAP-technique. 2 x 106 cells per patient were screened by bright field microscopy. Subsequently, cytospins with CK-positive cells were further characterized by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) using a her2/neu DNA probe (Zymed, Germany) or a multi-colour probe (Vysis,Il., USA) for hybridisation of centromer 17 (polyploidy) and the her2/neu growth factor gene. A ratio of her2/neu and centromer chr. 17 signals of at least two was regarded as amplification.
Results: 232 bone marrow aspirates of 156 patients with breast cancer were analyzed at the time of primary diagnosis and during follow-up. DTC were detected in 68 samples (29%) in this patient group. The median number of detected cells was 2 (range 1 – 58). In 45 randomly assigned aspirates with DTC, the her2/neu status on these cells was evaluated and 13 samples were diagnosed with her2/neu amplification on DTC (29%). In 41 cases, both the her2/neu status of the primary tumor and on CK+ cells was available. In comparison, in 31 cases (76%) her2/neu status on the primary tumor corresponded to the her2/neu status on DTC. 7 patients (17%), however, with her2/neu overexpression or amplification on the primary tumor showed her2/neu negative DTC, whereas in 3 patients (7%) with her2/neu negative tumors we found DTC with her2/neu amplification.
Conclusion: In a relevant subgroup of patients, heterogeneity of antigen expression results in a discrepancy of her2/neu status between the primary tumor and DTC in the bone marrow. Therefore, the amplification of her2/neu on persisting DTC may proof useful to stratify patients for tailored treatment strategies. Ongoing clinical trials are evaluating the effect of trastuzumab in these patients.

We've had a few longish trips travelling in the camper van recently and I feel like I've put a few stone on in weight from just sitting in the car eating. Whilst I eat fairly healthily at home (in the daytime at least), when I'm in the car for longer journeys I do tend to reach for the sweeter, unhealthier snacks and don't seem to be able to stop.
I think most of it is down to boredom.
It doesn't help that we seem to stop every few hours and I have to walk past the food shops and sweet shelves. Yes, I could walk past but my will power is really lacking recently. Not only am I putting weight on but I'm spending a fortune on food too.
What I need to do is get organised and get my will power back!
So, I've written a healthy snack list that I can stick on my fridge and make sure I can bring some of them with us.
I've gone for snacks that are easy to transport, aren't too messy and should be able to be cut up fairly quickly as there's often not too much time when I'm trying to pack up and get us all in the car.
If you have time cut them up at home and keep fresh in sealed tubs. If you don't have time buy ready chopped carrots and celery sticks from the supermarket!
Carrot sticks
Cucumber sticks
Sugar snap peas
Raw broccoli florets
Raw cauliflower florets
Keep fruit that could get squished all over the car in sealed tubs, keeps the car a bit cleaner! Keep bananas in a tub or at least in the top of a bag if you don't like them bruised. As soon as my children see a bit of brown on the skin it puts them off!
Blueberries in pots
Strawberries cut up
Grapes cut up
Dried apricots
Protein to fill us up:
These should keep you filled up for longer so you're not reaching for the sweeter stuff.
Nuts (but not too many and not salted!)
Roasted chick peas
Boiled Eggs
Vegetable crisps
Rice cakes
Of course, if you're like my mum and can stick to eating TWO CHOCOLATES a day only (who does that!!) then I'd chuck a few in too, for me if they are around they are calling to be eaten and the whole bag has to go. I mean what's a road trip without a sweet?
Happy Road trips!
Do you have any other healthy snacks for road trips?

BOSTON, Nov. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (www.aasld.org) today announced a new initiative to provide ongoing education and training to healthcare professionals treating liver diseases. AASLD Curriculum & Training (ACT) will deliver reliable information and instruction for the treatment of patients with a variety of liver diseases including viral hepatitis.
The first program to be released, ACT on HCV, A Practical Introduction to Treating HCV, includes five interactive modules with case-based discussions and real-life clinical scenarios. This program is designed to increase the competence of healthcare professionals who are new to providing care for patients with HCV.
"ACT on HCV is exactly what it sounds like! As the numbers of HCV-infected patients presenting in a range of clinical settings continues to grow, we need to be able to provide all of our healthcare professionals - who are not liver specialists - with the tools necessary for them to be able to manage and support their patients," said Sue Currie, AASLD Hepatology Associates Committee Task Force Chair. "AASLD is helping to address this need in a unique and innovative way, which ultimately benefits patients affected with HCV, but also the healthcare professionals in the field."
The CME/CE-certified modules are 30 to 45 minutes in length and are supplemented with pre- and post-test questions which help identify key topics and guide the learner to specific sections for study. Module topics include:
"The modules in this program are designed to fit into the busy schedules of active healthcare providers," said HoChong Gilles, RN, MS, FNP-C, faculty for module one, HCV Overview. "The embedded interactive pre- and post-test questions make it easy to identify areas for further study and help newcomers to the HCV field build confidence in their management decisions."
This program is a fantastic opportunity to gain a useful understanding of current HCV diagnostic and treatment options," said Michael J. Surdy, PharmD, AAHIVP, author of module two, HCV Genotyping and Predictors of Response. "Through case-based discussions and real-life scenarios, participants will learn how to develop effective strategies for the care of patients with viral hepatitis C."
The program also includes a non-certified experiential component. Each qualified participant will identify a mentor or "Expert Resource" to provide additional direction and insight.
"In addition to the great content, this program provides healthcare professionals with a unique opportunity to receive one-to-one support from highly experienced experts," said Michelle Baytarian, PA-C, MMSc, faculty and presenter for module three, Patient Selection. "The involvement of these 'Expert Resources' reinforces the program subject matter from natural history to side effect management in our real-world settings."
If an expert is not immediately available to qualified participants, the AASLD program team will facilitate linkage to a volunteer mentor.
"By completing the five interactive modules and through mentoring from Expert Clinicians, the program lays the foundation to initiate treatment as appropriate," said Helen S. Yee, PharmD, author of module four, Initiating HCV Treatment: The First 8 Weeks. "Thanks to the dedicated faculty and the unwavering support of the AASLD, healthcare professionals will gain valuable skills for identifying and assessing appropriate patients for therapy, developing customized treatment plans, promoting patient adherence, and managing adverse effects."
"Recent advances in HCV treatment make this an incredibly exciting time to be involved in fighting hepatitis C," said Michele Wetmore, MSN, ANP-BC, NP-C, author of module five, Managing Side Effects of Therapy. "I know that all of us who worked on the program are looking forward to feedback from participants regarding the curriculum, their experiences, and future training needs."
ACT on HCV is a dynamic program that will empower additional front-line and mid-level providers with the latest data and insights on treatment of HCV. Participants who successfully finish the curriculum can receive a certificate of completion and will be notified about future programs.
"ACT on HCV is a unique training program designed to address service gaps and increase the US treatment provider capacity to offer clinical HCV treatment and services," said Joy Peter, RN, chair of the Hepatology Associates Committee. "Through the phase I didactic, modular learning program and upcoming peer-to-peer mentored training, ACT on HCV will offer novice providers the educational platform to comfortably diagnose HCV and approach managing treatment."
"The AASLD is already a recognized source of reliable information and resources for clinicians involved in the treatment of liver diseases," said Guadalupe Garcia-Tsao, MD, President of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases. "With the launch of ACT on HCV we hope to extend that impact beyond the existing membership and increase support for non-specialists in their efforts to improve the quality of care they provide."
This program is offered free of charge for educational purposes to healthcare professionals and others interested in the treatment of patients with hepatitis C.
AASLD is the leading medical society focused solely on advancing the science and practice of hepatology and represents more than 3,300 practitioners, researchers, and allied health professionals worldwide. Founded by physicians in 1950, AASLD has upheld the standards of the profession and fostered research that generates treatment options for the millions of patients with liver diseases.

The B.C. Forest Industry says it will strike a task force in the wake of fatal explosions at two northern B.C. sawmills to determine the risks of dust explosions.
An explosion and fire on Jan. 20 at the Babine Forest Products sawmill in Burns Lake killed two workers and injured 19 others. A second explosion and fire April 23 at the Lakeland Mills sawmill in Prince George killed another two workers and injured 22.
While there has been no link established between wood dust from dry, pine-beetle killed timber milled at sawmills in north and central B.C., WorkSafeBC has ordered mills to clean up dust. The safety agency is also investigating pine beetle dust as a factor in the explosion in Burns Lake.
Although the cause of the explosions are not known, or if they are connected, Council of Forest Industries president John Allan said the task force will quantify combustion risks of wood dust from pine-beetle killed logs and other timber and identify ways to mitigate dust.
The task force will include company representatives and external scientists, insurance engineers, experts and other stakeholders.
"This is a significant collaborative effort to ensure that B.C.'s wood products manufacturers are operating to the absolute highest standards," Allan said in a statement.
Added Canfor CEO Don Kayne: "We will continue to be transparent with our employees, with government and with each other if we identify new combustion hazards or means of improving safety procedures."
Members of the Council of Forest Industries also include West Fraser, Interfor, Tolko, the Sinclar Group, Hampton Affiliates, Western Forest Products, Dunkley Lumber and Conifex.
