Persistent health disparities by race may be related, in part, to anxiety about being confronted by negative racial stereotypes while receiving healthcare.
Stereotype threat, which is the threat of being judged by or confirming a negative stereotype about a group you belong to, has already been shown to influence the outcome of standardized testing, such as performance on the SAT (the most widely used college admissions exam).
For example, when confronted with a negative stereotype about their group identity, some black students become anxious that they will perform poorly on a test and, thereby, confirm negative stereotypes about the intellectually ability of people of their race. As a consequence of cognitive load from this performance anxiety, students actually become more likely to perform poorly.
In a similar vein, the researchers found that black women who strongly identified with their race were more likely to feel anxious in a healthcare setting—particularly if that setting included messaging that promoted negative racial stereotypes, even if inadvertently.
‘Situation and identity’
It is already well documented that black women underutilize healthcare when compared to white women—possibly hurting their health overall.
New research suggests that this underutilization could be prompted by anxiety and other socio-emotional consequences of stereotype threat.
“This may help to explain some of the as yet unaccounted for ethnic and socioeconomic differences in morbidity and mortality across the lifespan,” says Cleopatra Abdou, assistant professor in the School of Gerontology and the department of psychology at the University of Southern California.
“Historically, the discourse surrounding health and health disparities has focused on nature, nurture, and the interaction of the two. With this study, we are bringing situation and identity into the equation.”
The study appears in the journal Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology.
Participants in the study sat in virtual doctor’s waiting and exam rooms, which displayed posters depicting black women confronting unplanned pregnancy or AIDS—conspicuous examples of negative health-relevant racial stereotypes.
Black women who reported that they felt a strong connection with their ethnicity or ethnic group experienced the highest levels of anxiety while waiting in the rooms with the posters, while white women with a strong connection to their ethnicity experienced the lowest anxiety levels, suggesting that strong white identity may provide immunity from healthcare-related stereotype threat, Abdou says. Women of either group with low ethnic identity fell in the middle of the range.
“This is stereotype threat-induced anxiety,” Abdou says. “It’s important to note that this anxiety is not present when we don’t prime highly identified African American women with negative stereotypes of African American women’s health.”
This research represents the first-ever empirical test of stereotype threat in the health sciences. Although stereotype threat theory is popular in the social sciences, with hundreds of studies documenting its effects on academic and other types of performance in recent decades, Abdou and coauthor Adam Fingerhut of Loyola Marymount University are the first to experimentally apply stereotype threat theory to the domain of healthcare and health disparities more broadly.
“This study is important as a first step to understanding how stereotypes play out in healthcare settings and affect minority individual’s experiences with healthcare providers. Further research is needed to understand the potential downstream effects, including reduced trust in physicians and delay in seeking healthcare as a way to avoid stereotype threat, which may have long-term implications for health among blacks,” says Fingerhut.
Posters like the ones Abdou and Fingerhut used can be commonly found in doctors’ offices to promote admirable goals, such as AIDS awareness, but the use of specific ethnicities in their messaging can have unexpected negative consequences, Abdou says.
“There is value in public health messaging that captures the attention of specific groups, particularly the groups at greatest risk, but we have to be mindful of unintended byproducts of these efforts and think outside the box to circumvent them,” Abdou says.
The Michigan Center for Integrative Approaches to Health Disparities and the USC Advancing Scholarship in the Humanities and Social Sciences Initiative supported the study.

The Butler director appeals to keep name
- Bang Showbiz
- 4 July 2013
Lee Daniels has sent a heartfelt email to the head of Warner Bros. begging him to watch 'The Butler' and reconsider dropping their copyright claim over the movie title
'The Butler' director Lee Daniels has appealed to the head of Warner Bros. to drop its copyright claim regarding the film's name.
The Weinstein Company lost its legal battle to keep the title of its new historical drama on Tuesday (02.07.13) , following a Title Registration Bureau ruling confirming Warner Bros. owns the rights to it because of their 1916 silent short of the same name.
Now the movie's director has appealed directly to the rival studio's CEO, Kevin Tsujihara, in the hope he will revoke the decision by appealing to his good conscience and asking him to watch the film, which is based on the real-life story of the White House's longest serving African American butler, Eugene Allen.
The email, obtained by Deadline.com, reads: "I have spent the last four years of my life working on the film, The Butler, and it is the proudest moment of my professional career. I am heartbroken as I write this letter to you.
"I am so proud of this movie. Every member of our cast worked for almost nothing so that this story could be told with only our very small budget. If we were to change the title a mere six weeks before we open, it would most certainly hurt the film by limiting the number of people who would ultimately see this important story.
"I beg you to see it before you decide to force us to change the title. I truly believe that once you watch it, you would not want to cause this film any harm."
The Oscar-tipped movie boasts an all-star cast including Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey, as well as the likes of Robin Williams, James Marsden and Alan Rickman portraying former US presidents.

Potential new treatment for blood-related cancersMay 20th, 2010 - 5:27 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, May 20 (ANI): In a new clinical trial, scientists have found that SNS-032, one of the first in a new class of drugs that inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases, is safe and could offer a potential clinical cure for advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Cyclin-dependent kinases are enzymatic proteins that are integrally involved in cellular metabolism, renewal and signaling, and are thought to play key roles in the growth of cancers.
The drug did not demonstrate any clinical effect against advanced multiple myeloma, although researchers hope it might still prove to have some benefit against this blood cancer as part of combination therapy.
“No drugs that target this cancer mechanism are on the market today. I am hopeful that larger studies will show that this targeted therapy is useful against a number of advanced B cell malignancies,” said study author Dr. David S. Siegel, Co-Chief, Multiple Myeloma, John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma are both considered B cell malignancies, as they attack these cells, also known as B lymphocytes.
Both types of blood cancer leave their victims susceptible to infections and other serious complications. While there are treatments for both cancers, there is no cure, and more effective treatments are needed.
The researchers tested the new medication on 37 patients, 19 with CLL and 18 with myeloma. All patients were given SNS-032, and all were aware of what they were taking.
To test both the drug’s safety and the best potential dose, SNS-032 was given intravenously as a “loading” dose - an initially higher dose that is then reduced to a maintenance level - over five minutes.
This was followed by a six-hour infusion given to all patients on a weekly basis for three consecutive weeks.
One patient with CLL had more than a 50 percent reduction in measurable disease, but no improvement in disease markers in the blood.
Another CLL patient had stable disease for four courses of treatment.
For multiple myeloma, two patients had stable disease with treatment and one had normalization of spleen size, which is an indication of a reduction in blood cancer activity.
Looking at blood test results for the patients, the researchers found anti-cancer activity.
The drug appeared to inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases 7 and 9, two of the three enzymatic proteins targeted in this study.
They also caused apoptosis, or cell death, in cancer cells.
“Our study found that this drug is well tolerated and had some clinical effect, but it is important to note that this was a small, very early stage study. Based on these findings, there is justification for additional research, which will show whether this drug has a place in the arsenal of treatments for hematologic malignancies,” said Siegel.
Preclinical studies of SNS-032 demonstrated that the drug inhibited the growth of cancer cells, and induced apoptosis, in B cell malignancies.
The study was published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. (ANI)

A Dec. 8 theatrical release is being planned for the debut feature from British-born Filipino writer-director Zarcilla that bowed at South by Southwest, where it won two grand jury awards for best film and best debut.
Raging Grace follows an undocumented Filipino immigrant and single mom who works as the caretaker for a haunted British estate. As the mother and her daughter care for a terminally ill elderly man, they get entangled in a chilling secret.
As a horror flick, Raging Grace also explores themes of race, power, identity and the haunting consequences of hidden truths.
The movie stars Max Eigenmann, newcomer Jaeden Paige Boadilla, Leanne Best and David Hayman and is produced by Chi Thai.
“So rarely is a film so successful as both a social critique and a genuinely scary movie. Already during the film’s festival run, Paris’ first feature has impressed and moved audiences. We can’t wait to work with Music Box to bring this very special film to a wide audience,” Brainstorm CEO Michelle Shwarzstein said in a statement.
Brainstorm and Music Box Films will release Raging Grace under their genre label, Doppelganger Releasing.
“To be collaborating with them about how we will reach our audiences in the United States and Canada, in cinemas and at home, is a massive step closer towards a goal that was birthed from a fire of rage during the first lockdown. That goal was to offer a cathartic spectacle to all that have struggled to say we are here and we belong,” Zarcilla said in a statement about working with Brainstorm and Music Box for the film’s North American release.

Questions About the Render Page
What is a material?
A material is a digital image of the texture you apply in a vignette. This material must be a full repeat. For tips on creating a full repeat, see Creating a Full-Tile Repeat.
When I apply a material, how do I know what resolution to set?
In order to render objects in your vignette effectively, the resolution for the objects in the vignette and the resolution of the materials you apply to them must be set properly. Unlike screen resolution or print resolution settings, resolution settings within Image Authoring refer to world space, or life-size.
You must map texture samples to a resolution by telling [Image Authoring] how many pixels in the texture sample correspond to an inch in world space . You specify this information on the Texture Materials Properties dialog box that displays when you click on the Render page.
How do I select an object?
Click the drop-down box in the top menu and select your group or object or click once in the appropriate image area to select the group and twice to select the object. Once an object has a mask, you can select it using Alt+click.
How do I save my rendered images?
You can save a vignette in the native Scene7 format (VNT). You can export a vignette in any of these formats: BMP, JPEG, PNG, PSD, and TIFF. When you batch-render images, you can export them as PNG, BMP, JPEG, or TIFF.
To save a vignette in another format:
- From the File menu, select Export Image .
- Name your file and choose a format.
What format should I use when I save my final image?
This is a personal decision. We recommend saving images in TIFF format to maintain the best quality and resolution. You can always convert to other types after saving.
How do I create a render set?
When you batch render and export the results to IPS , you create a render set in IPS.
Do I need to upload the materials I use before I upload my render set?
When you upload a render set, Image Authoring creates a separate swatch for each color or texture you use in this batch-render process and adds those items to IPS as separate files. The entire set of images are stored as a render set within IPS. If the materials were obtained from the company within IPS to which you are uploading, Image Authoring won't upload the materials.
If you plan on using the render set upload, avoid using material images in the TGA image format. IPS does not support that image format and the render set upload fails.
How do I save a layered image?
Use the Batch Render option (under Saved Materials) to set the Layered File option in the Batch Render Setup dialog.

In 2010, Rodney Bock was arrested for carrying a loaded gun into a restaurant in Yuba City, north of Sacramento. Bock had severe mental illness and was later found incompetent to stand trial. He was released on bail, but was rearrested after he failed to appear at a court hearing.
Bock, 56, was placed in the Sutter County jail, awaiting transfer to a state hospital. While there, he began suffering hallucinations. After more than two weeks in jail, Bock hanged himself.
Mentally ill defendants declared incompetent to stand trial, as Bock was, are supposed to be transferred to state mental hospitals for treatment within two or three months. But more than 300 of them statewide are languishing in county jails because there’s simply no bed space.
Bock's daughters are now plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, charging two state agencies, including the Department of State Hospitals, with denying mentally ill inmates their right to due process -- and the treatment they need.
"Jail is simply too dangerous a place for these most vulnerable defendants," said Micaela Davis, lead attorney in the lawsuit. "We have inmates that are waiting eight, nine months and sometimes over a year before being transferred to a facility for treatment."

Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast Streusel Muffins! French Toast…with a Muffin twist!
These French Toast muffins are perfect for on-the-go hungry emergencies…or to sit and eat freshly baked out of the oven….or to have a stash in the refrigerator only to reheat and eat when you need them.
Stuffed with juicy blueberries and cheesecake flavours — YES I said CHEESECAKE (sorry for yelling), and a crispy streusel topping…these were like muffins without the mixing and beating.
Hands down beats porridge in the morning.
So, here’s the breakdown in my MC Hammer pants.
First….spread the ‘cheesecake’ flavoured spread onto each piece of bread. Meditate while doing so — with eyes wide opened.
Cut them into 1-inch little cubes of cheesecake goodness.
Add them into your super sexy egg wash. Mix around. Add blueberries. Smell those vanilla smells.
Spoon them (yes…spoon), into a muffin tray. Sprinkle with Streusel (or not, but so freaking good with Streusel for an incredible crispy and crunch sweet top). Add some-more blueberries on top. Bake in your oven.
Okay. So drizzle is the minimum. More like drown, maybe.
Or do as normal people do and watch the gloriousness of a perfect full French Toast muffin on your plate.
Proceed to rap in your best 90’s voice, You can’t touch this.’ Drown in more maple Syrup, because it’s breakfast, and breakfast requires syrup. Right?
Split it open to see those blueberries burst all through your muffins.
Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast Streusel Muffins
Weight Watchers: 5pp per muffin!
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
French Toast Muffins:
- 8 slices sandwich bread (280 g | 101/2 oz)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups skim/low fat milk (or almond milk)
- 1/4 cup sugar (or a Natural granulated sweetener to lower calories/carbs)
- Pinch of salt (optional - about 1/4 teaspoon))
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Extra lemon juice of 1/2 a lemon (optional)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries + 1/4 cup extra for the top
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- Preheat your oven to 180C | 350F; line a 12-cup non-stick muffin tray with muffin liners OR spray with cooking oil spray; wipe over excess and set aside.
- Combine cream cheese, 1 teaspoon sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl; mix to combine.
- Spread cream cheese mixture over 1 side of each slice of bread. Sandwich two slices together at a time and cut each sandwich into 1-inch cubes. (You should end up with 8 cups of cubed bread).
- Whisk the eggs, milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, salt (if using) and vanilla together in a large shallow dish. Add the bread and mix it through the egg wash (using your hands is easier than a spoon), until all bread is thoroughly soaked. Drizzle extra lemon juice over the top (optional), and gently fold through the blueberries. Using a spoon, fill the muffin cups with the french toast mix (about 3 tablespoons per muffin hole). Set aside and make your streusel:
To make Streusel:
- Combine the sugar and flour in a small bowl; cut in butter using a metal fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over muffins. Top with extra blueberries.
- Bake muffins 20-30 minutes, or until streusel on top has turned golden in colour. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan 5 minutes, or they may fall apart when taken out too soon.
- Serve straight away with maple syrup.

Signs posted throughout the Grand Canyon warn visitors not to feed or approach wildlife, and rangers frequently give the same instructions to visitors. Nevertheless, many people violate these instructions, often as a result of ignorance about wildlife behavior. Such was the case one hot afternoon in late June when a couple arrived at the Grand Canyon’s Phantom Ranch Ranger Station carrying a fawn wrapped in a T-shirt—much to the dismay of a ranger on duty.
According to the couple, they were walking near a creek when the fawn approached them. The couple did not see the mother deer, and they became concerned that the young animal had been abandoned. They were also worried that the fawn was unable to take care of itself in the almost 110° heat. So they thought they would try to help by picking the baby deer up, swaddling it in a shirt, and bringing it to the ranger station.
At the station, the couple and fawn were greeted by ranger Della Yurcik. She became extremely upset as she determined what had happened, recalling a case from early May in which a bison calf at Yellowstone National Park was “rescued” by visitors. The father and son thought the calf was abandoned in the frigid weather and put it in their car. Yellowstone biologists repeatedly tried to return the calf to its herd, but the young bison’s mother kept rejecting it—as often happens after people interfere with animals in a herd. The rejected calf kept wandering up to people and cars at the park, posing a potential risk to visitors, so the Yellowstone biologists determined that the animal had to be euthanized.
Yurcik immediately told the couple at the Grand Canyon to put the fawn down, and she scolded them for their interference. She later told a reporter that park visitors need to understand that wildlife in national parks is supposed to remain wild. She explained that just because a young animal might approach visitors, the animal is not coming to them for help. Mother deer, elk, and bison commonly leave their young on their own for short periods. Furthermore, visitors have no right to interfere with wildlife—no matter how well-meaning their intentions. To do so is a crime.
The unauthorized public handling of wildlife in national parks is a Class B misdemeanor punishable by a $5000 fine and/or up to six months in jail or five years on probation.
Fortunately, the Grand Canyon incident had a happier outcome than the Yellowstone incident. Yurcik returned the fawn to the creek where it was found and wetted it down with a towel to minimize the human scent on the animal. Rangers observed the mother return to the calf that evening, and they observed the mother and fawn still together two days later.

DescriptionSugared Skin 2 is a self-portrait taken from photographic artist, Jaeda DeWalt’s, Black and White Emotions series and is a part of the DeWalt Gallery collection. Self-portrait photographed using a digital camera and remote-controlled shutter release.
About this image: This image was inspired by the song, Echo And The Bunnymen – Lips Like Sugar. I lotioned my body up, glossed my mouth and then poured raw sugar on them. Though i realize, the end result resembles rock salt, more than sugar ;).
I love the way light and shadow carve out the body’s contours, creating a tonal range that appears almost statuesque.
Image taken from Jaeda's video b/w emotions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFTkgCdClg
About Me: I am a self-taught taught artist that discovered my passion of photography, back in 1995, while writing my first book, Haunting Hands. A book initially intended to be a collection of poems i had written about surviving a difficult childhood. I decided it would feel more personal if i created the cover for the book myself. Shortly thereafter, i purchased a camera and turned my living room into a makeshift studio. I did a series of self-portraits and then another and another. The process of creating and putting myself in front of the camera felt cathartic, liberating and healing. The photographic medium opened up a new world to me and ignited a kind of passion within that i didn’t even know i was capable of experiencing. My book transformed into a, survivor-orientated, photographic essay and that started me down the path to becoming a photographic artist.
ANSWER TO THE MOST FAQ EVER: Are your self-portraits, self-portraits? YES! I don't consider a self-portrait to be TRULY a self-portrait unless i take the picture of myself, by myself. It's not easy to chase oneself around with the camera, LOL. But that's what i do. I use a digital camera, utilizing the self-timer mode. Sometimes i get the shot i want on the first shot or first few frames and other times it takes me 100s of pictures to get the shot i want.
WHY do you create? . . . because imagery, poetry and words can offer us a feeling, an experience and the magical gift of transport. I want my imagery to give people a way to express themselves, to offer them a moment of magic and wonder, I want to ignite the imagination, emotions and give people a sense of connection. Learn more about my creative process via the Q & A page of my website: http://www.redbubble.com/people/jaedadewalt/journal/694520-q-and-a-with-jaeda.
BRIEF BIO: I have produced cover art for books, playbills, collective fine art books and have had my work exhibited in New York, including the Hofstra Museum. In 2009 i published, Shades of the Soul an artography book featuring my art and poetry. You can preview my book, here: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/625673

Whether we like it or not we are heading towards a profound change. The climate, population growth, species extinction, resource consumption and such are just running wild. More and more people are becoming aware about these challenges and are engaging in different plans and initiatives in order to change the world before it's too late. This program introduces some of the people at the forefront these initiatives.
Everybody knows the names of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin but America's journey into space is much bigger than that. It was the result of the blood, sweat and tears of thousands of men and women who worked behind the scenes in crucial ways - ordinary people who had 'the big idea'. Men and women who could watch the launch of rockets, the voyages of spaceships and the building of the international space station and know it wouldn't have happened without them. This is the story of the unsung heroes who took America into space. This episode looks at the engineers who, against all odds, built humanity's most powerful machine - the Saturn V rocket.
On July 20, 1969, astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong made history, becoming the first humans to set foot upon the Moon. But landing on the lunar surface challenged a dedicated team of engineers for almost a decade, designing a unique spacecraft - the Lunar Module. This is their remarkable story.
This is the extraordinary story of the engineers who push the envelope to create the world's first reusable space vehicle, the most complex machine ever made and one that promises to make spaceflight routine.
This is the remarkable story of the people whose engineering prowess and persistence eventually leads to the creation of the most complex structure ever built in orbit: the International Space Station, humanity's first permanent outpost in space.

Worldwide chip sales rose 5 percent in August to $19.1 billion compared to July sales of $18.2 billion. Compared to August a year ago, sales were down 16.1 percent from $22.7 billion.
The continued improvement this year, month-over-month increases for the past six months, show that the industry is continuing a slow but steady climb to recovery, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association, the chip industry’s trade group. The semiconductor industry is a bellwether for the global tech economy, since chips are used in everything electronic.
Sales were up sequentially in all geographic regions. Year-to-date sales through August are down 21.3 percent to $133.8 billion from $170.1 billion at this time last year. The rate of decline has slowed from the first six months of 2009 during which sales declined by 25 percent year-on-year. All monthly sales numbers are based on a three-month moving average of global semiconductor sales.
SIA President George Scalise credited various incentive programs for energy-efficient products, ranging from automobiles to home appliances, for bolstering demand for semiconductors. Scalise said netbook computers (smaller than laptops, aimed at web browsing) are now 17 percent of the laptop market. Overall PC prices have declined 14 percent this year even as the amount of chip memory in the machines has increased 25 percent.
Consumers now account for 50 percent of all PC unit sales. While consumer demand is strong, the recovery in the enterprise is slow, Scalise said.

Nothing says Christmas quite like a glazed ham as the delicious centrepiece upon a festive table setting. And if you’re anything like us, nothing says post-Christmas like ham salad, ham sandwiches, and ham-whatever-else-we-can-think-of!
Of course the first step to cooking the perfect festive season ham is selecting a high-quality meat to feed your loved ones. Follow these tips for choosing the perfect ham:
- Always look for 100% Australian pork to guarantee the freshest produce and also supporting local farmers
- Bone-in ham (shoulder or leg) is the traditional Christmas ham and very easy to carve
- Look for ham which is a rich pink colour
- Glazing a ham is best suited to a whole leg ham as the shank end retains moisture which enhances flavour. The 6k – 7kg hams are the pick of the bunch as they neatly fit in the oven
- Opt for free range to further support the natural rearing process of animals.
And with your ham purchased, it’s time for all the trimmings….
Mike McEnearney of Kitchen By Mike has created this simple, yet impressive glazed ham recipe so you can enjoy a restaurant-worthy ham at home this festive season.

There are various forms of vitamin D deficiency. There are genetic forms where, effectively, you get abnormal bone development because the body doesn’t respond to vitamin D properly. You can get a mother who’s vitamin D deficient, often mothers with dark skin who are not getting enough sunlight, and then that is transferred to the baby and the baby’s bones aren’t formed properly. And you can also get babies that are inadequately fed or exposed to sunlight, and they can get vitamin D deficiency with rickets.
Later on in life, vitamin D deficiency is often oversold as a problem, but it can be a problem in older Australians who are not getting out in the sun. And it also can be a problem, again, of people with dark skin who, many times they’re migrants here from Africa where they’ve been used to exposing their skin to the sun in enclosed courtyards, but here, because of cultural and religious reasons, they were completely covered and don’t have the chance to expose their skin to the sun.
And if you’ve got dark skin, dark skin doesn’t convert sunlight to vitamin D as efficiently as people with white skin, and so that’s a high-risk group for vitamin D deficiency, as are the elderly as they get older.
Vitamin D testing is not that useful in most circumstances with the elderly because vitamin D supplements are easy to take and pretty safe, as long as they’re taken in reasonable doses.

LIHU‘E, KAUA‘I -- The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife on Kaua‘i will be opening Nounou Forest Reserve for a trial archery animal control of feral pigs.
(LIHUE) – Two major State Parks on Kaua‘i will remain closed indefinitely. Hāʻena State Park and the adjacent Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park (including the Kalalau Trail) on Kauai are closed due to flood damage affecting both parks. Kuhio Highway, the only way in and out of both parks has been closed by multiple landslides since record-breaking rains pounded the north shore of Kaua‘I last weekend. Closures will likely be for an extended period, while damage assessments and repairs are completed.
(HONOLULU) – Had it been something other than a sharp fishing knife perhaps the video would have been endearing? A Hawaiian monk seal pup named Manu‘iwa recently weaned from its mother on a Hawai‘i Island beach. Staff from Ke Kai Ola, a hospital operated by The Marine Mammal Center at Kailua-Kona and officers from the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) have been monitoring the pup’s health and growth.
(HONOLULU) – An estimated 25 people elected to be airlifted out of the Kalalau area of the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park yesterday. They’d been stranded there since last weekend’s record-breaking rain storm that cut off road access from the trail head back to Hanalei and other Kaua‘i locales. A helicopter pilot who participated in the evacuation operation reports that at least two people decided to stay behind. Initial reports indicate that the 11-mile-long Kalalau Trail did not experience significant damage, but that can’t be confirmed until a DLNR Division of State Parks maintenance team visits the trail sometime in the next week. It’s not known at this time whether others decided to shelter in place at the designated camping area at Hanakoa or at Hanakapai‘ai at the two mile point, where people can travel without a state permit.
(Volcano, Hawai‘i) –The eleven young ‘Alalā living in the Pu‘u Maka‘ala Natural Area Reserve on the Island of Hawai‘i continue to thrive, showing increased natural behaviors, foraging on native plants, and even challenging the occasional ‘Io, or Hawaiian Hawk. Conservationists are cautiously optimistic about the birds’ continued success in native habitat and are working together with researchers at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo to analyze vocalizations of these rare birds. Foraging and other social behaviors are also being studied to determine if historically seen activities are increasing now that the group has access to the surroundings in which they evolved.
(KAHULUI, MAUI) – The ‘Ahihi-Kina’u Natural Area Reserve (NAR) on Maui’s south shore will remain closed at least until Monday, April 23, 2018 due to the continued presence of sharks in the popular snorkeling destination. The NAR has been closed for two weeks, after numerous tiger sharks were spotted, apparently coming close to shore to follow pupping reef sharks.
(LIHUE) – The record-breaking rain storm on Kaua‘i last weekend has resulted in the DLNR Division of State Parks closing the following Garden Island parks: Napali Coast State Wilderness Park, Ha’ena State Park, Polihale State Park and portions of Wailua River State Park. Currently there are an estimated 30 campers stranded in the Kalalau section of the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park. Efforts are underway to contact people who have camping permits to check on their status or to determine whether they made it out of the park safely?
(HILO) - Researchers in Hawaiʻi, working with national and international specialists, have published a paper providing new insight into the origin and development of the tree disease called Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death (ROD). Scientists at the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the University of Hawaiʻi worked with colleagues at the Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, and Iowa State to describe two new species of plant pathogenic fungi known to cause ROD. Initially noticed by landowners in Puna in 2010, ROD spread quickly across tens of thousands of acres on the Big Island, killing hundreds of thousands of native ʻōhiʻa trees (Metrosideros polymorpha) in a short time. A plant pathology team led by Dr. Lisa Keith at the ARS laboratory in Hilo went to work collecting and analyzing samples of dead and dying ʻōhiʻa.
(Lihu‘e, Kaua‘i) – Following recent successes in both enforcement and management efforts that have substantially reduced the number of illegal campers, the DLNR Division of State Parks will reinstitute the allowance of additional overnight camping permits for the popular Kalalau Trail, within the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park, Kaua‘i.
KAHULUI, MAUI -- A large pile of cargo nets and other debris which came ashore approximately two weeks ago at Wai‘anapanapa State Park will be removed tomorrow morning, in a joint effort by the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) State Parks and Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) divisions, as well as the County of Maui’s Division of Public Works.

It is the earliest, most expensive political advertising war in presidential campaign history, totaling at least $90 million so far, most of it from President Bush.
But this is also the first campaign in wartime in more than 30 years. In the 18 battleground states where the advertising is focused, including Florida, the blitz is not just striking for its intensity, but also for the way that it is playing off televised reports from the front lines in Iraq.
As they do in most places, images from the war zone dominate television news programs in this town near Patrick Air Force Base. Those graphic sights are often accompanied by reports about the local men and women who are doing the fighting, and the parents worrying about them here at home.
So spots from Senator John Kerry and President Bush, appearing most intensely in newscasts, are playing like running commentaries over who is better qualified to preside over the action unfolding between the commercials.
It is a significant break from recent campaigns, in which political commercials broadcast on local programs seemed awkward and out of context.
''Usually, you have this really feel-good story about someone rescuing a cat, and then you'll get this really nasty, negative ad,'' Kenneth M. Goldstein, an associate professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin, said. ''It's very rarely that you get the paid media from both sides and the free media all engaged in the same topic.''
The spots may be optimally situated by the blunt standards of Madison Avenue, which puts a premium on placing commercials in programs where they will have the most emotional effects. But political scientists and strategists said both campaigns, already sparring daily over national security, risked criticism for politicizing the conflict in commercials, which lack the same nuances as interviews or even stump speeches.
''It is fraught with danger if you are viewed as being exploitative,'' said David Axelrod, a Democratic strategist who is producing advertisements for the Media Fund, a group that is running spots against the president.
Then again, Mr. Axelrod said, events necessitate it.
''It's sometimes not risky to address the thing that's paramount on people's minds,'' he said.
Not since 1972 has a presidential campaign unfolded amid continuing combat. Then, commercials for President Richard M. Nixon and Senator George McGovern vied over who could most efficiently end the unpopular conflict and bring the troops home.
This time, with both candidates agreeing that pulling out is not an option, the spots vie over who is better equipped to support the troops and solve the crisis -- with messages that are often powerfully reinforced by reports from the front lines.
The Channel 2 News at 11 here, for instance, reported recently about a decision by a marine from Orlando, Sgt. Kenneth Conde Jr., to stay in Iraq after taking a bullet in the shoulder. Interviewed for the report, his mother, Theresa Conde, said she had asked him, ''Are you crazy?''
An advertisement for Mr. Bush that followed shortly afterward implied that Ms. Conde would have even more to worry about if Mr. Kerry were president. It showed troops marching through the desert as an announcer intoned: ''As our troops defend America in the war on terror, they must have what it takes to win. Yet John Kerry has repeatedly opposed weapons vital to winning the war on terror.''
Adding a local economic element, the announcer added that Mr. Kerry had opposed Apache helicopters, C-130 Hercules transport planes and F-16 fighter jets, ''components of which are all built here in Florida.''
As the announcer speaks, the hardware disappears, piece by piece, leaving a lone soldier staring forlornly into the camera as the announcer ends: ''John Kerry's record on national security? Troubling.''
Although Mr. Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, had opposed continued production of those weapons systems, he had also voted for them or others like them on other occasions, a point that goes unmade in the advertising battle.
That spot from Mr. Bush ran on the Channel 9 news on Wednesday afternoon after a report about Rita Smith, the worried mother of an Army soldier whose tour in Iraq was extended because of the continued fighting.
''When Rita watches the news,'' the correspondent, Berndt Petersen, reported, ''you can see the worry.''
Toward the end of that broadcast, a spot from Mr. Kerry was shown that was in large part devised to deflect charges from Mr. Bush that he is not committed to the troops and national security. While listing what would be his top priorities as president, Mr. Kerry speaks directly into the camera and says, ''First, we will keep this country safe and secure.''
''My priorities are jobs and health care,'' he adds. ''My commitment is to defend this country.''
In two days of intensive viewing here, Mr. Kerry's spots often played such a defensive role, coming after spots from Mr. Bush had raised questions about his ability to be a wartime leader.
That is not to say Mr. Kerry's spots never worked on offense. Late on Wednesday, ''Nightline'' on ABC offered a long, blunt report about fighting in Falluja, juxtaposing images of allied soldiers and rebel fighters firing their weapons with that of Mr. Bush telling reporters, ''Most of Falluja is returning to normal.''
Toward the end of the broadcast, a commercial for Mr. Kerry had him again looking directly into the camera, this time saying, ''Let me tell you exactly what I would do to change the situation in Iraq.'' After promising to ''reach out to the international community in sharing the burden, the risk,'' he reminds viewers, ''The American taxpayer is paying now almost $200 billion and who knows how many more billions, and we're paying the highest price in the loss of lives of our young soldiers, almost alone.''
Darrell M. West, a professor of political science at Brown University, said the challenge for the candidates in running these spots was that they simply did not know how the advertising would come off in the news environment.
''How voters are going to see the ad is going to depend on whether the war is good or bad that day,'' Professor West said.
He and other experts noted that the campaigns did not have much choice when both sides agreed that the election would be decided on national security and the war as much as by economic factors.
''What Bush is trying to do in every way is to say, 'You should be afraid of change right now,' '' said Donny Deutsch, head of the Deutsch Inc. advertising agency in New York who was a consultant for Bill Clinton in 1992. ''And the game for Kerry is, 'As scary as change is, it's even scarier to stay the course.' And there's the game.''


While commenting on Paul Kedrosky’s post about Twitter, it occurred to me that my opinion of Twitter was changing right then – at that moment.
Prior to today, my perception of Twitter was that it was a ridiculous waste of time; it enabled one narcissist to broadcast his/her existence to anyone foolish, bored or voyeuristic enough to pay attention. Twitter seems to be a cross between the type of hyper-chat typically practiced by tween girls (where somehow, no matter how inconsequential something seems [or really is], there is a need to talk about it) and a marketer’s dream of Instant Demographics.
And then it hit me: if Twitter can broadcast the silly stuff, can’t it equally well broadcast the interesting stuff? If people are really into this, here are some obvious (and no so obvious) uses of the Twitter API:
– Tied to your credit card usage (“Now purchasing 17.2 gallons unleaded, $2.65/gallon, Highlands Ranch Conoco”)
– Tied to your car’s GPS/OnStar transceiver (“Now crossing into Douglas County from Denver County, northbound County Line Road”)
– Tied to a simple wireless switch-activated webcam attached to the gate into your backyard (“That rat bastard neighbor is sneaking in to steal spearmint leaves from your garden… again”)
So, if Twitter were *automatically* enabled on your cell phone & certain of these types of “transactions” were published, then it may be inevitable that marketers will totally underwrite both cell phones and the service.
In exchange for the always-on, instant demographics, the consumer gets 100% subsidized service & handset. Surely this is what Twitter is really all about, right?

Forest Journal: Sweet revenge on an invasive plant
Japanese knotweed is at its tastiest when the stalks are about 8 to 12 inches tall. (BRENDA CHARPENTIER)
Strawberry Knotweed PieFrom "Wild Plants I Have Known ... and Eaten," by Russ Cohen
Pie dough for a 9-inch pie plate:
Exactly 1-2/3 cups white flour
5 tbsp. butter (should be cold)
5 tbsp. vegetable shortening or lard (should be cold)
7 tbsp. cold apple or orange juice
Put flour into food processor. Cut up shortening into big pieces and add to food processor - the less handling the better. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Add cold juice and pulse until mixture begins to ball up and the blade stops or slows substantially. Dump mixture onto wax paper. Chill in refrigerator for at least one hour.
1 cups sugar
3+ cups sliced strawberries
3+ cups peeled, sliced Japanese knotweed stalks (cut each piece in half length-wise to reduce any trapped air space inside)
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut ball of dough in half, roll out one half into a circle about 1/8-inch thick, adding flour to the board/pin/dough if sticky. Place in pie plate. Mix filling in bowl; if runny juice accumulates in bottom of bowl, stir a tablesppon or so of flour into the mixture. Pour filling into pie plate. Roll out second half of dough and place on top of filling or cut into 1/2-inch strips, and place over filling in a lattice pattern. Trim all but 1/2 inch of surplus dough from pie plate rim. Crimp dough together along pie plate edge with fork. Poke 6-12 holes in top crust (if not lattice) with fork. Place on a cookie sheet, and insert into center rack of oven. Bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees, then 25 minutes more at 400 degrees. Pie is done when juice oozes out the top crust and begins to run onto the cookie sheet. If the crust is getting too brown in one or more places before the rest is done, place a small piece of aluminum foil over that spot to stop further browning.
My son and I had parked the van along a quiet back road on Tuesday evening and hopped out. He wielded a knife, and I wielded a camera. By the time the officer slowed his cruiser to a stop, we were so engrossed in our task, we didn't even notice we were under surveillance.
"Oh! Just fine - thanks!" I said, waving cheerfully.
Actually, everything was more than fine. Having found a patch of Japanese knotweed that was just the right size for harvesting, we were happily cutting stalks, taking pictures and talking about knotweed muffins, coffee cake and pie.
Have you seen this bad boy? You probably have clumps of it near you, and you probably pass massive patches of it along the roads. An FBI most-wanted poster would describe it like this: "Grows in bunches up to 13 feet tall, mainly along highways and along rivers. In spring, be on the lookout for dried brown stalks from last fall that lie in crumpled, messy piles. New shoots look like innocent asparagus stalks with a reddish tint, but are hollow and crisp. Use caution."
It's so pervasive along highways and rivers because it spreads by sending forth both its seeds and by its roots. Any bit of root that breaks off and lands in soil can sprout a new population, so snowplows spread it along roadways while natural ice scouring spreads it along rivers.
Cohen's book has a chapter devoted to knotweed called "If You Can't Beat It, Eat It." It contains a delicious knotweed-strawberry pie recipe (including tips for a great crust from his baker mom). My son has baked this pie each spring since attending one of Cohen's workshops, which sparked what I suspect will be a lifelong interest in foraging for wild edibles.
Some caveats: Never pick knotweed in an area you suspect has been sprayed with herbicides. That's why I stick to the back roads or areas away from roads altogether and inspect the patch to make sure it looks healthy. And be careful with stalks you cut but don't eat; if they land in moist dirt, say in your back yard, they could sprout.One person who won't be eating his enemy anytime soon is Cygan, who has spent the last two years spraying knotweed clumps along highways with a 5 percent solution of Roundup. "Oh, no - I hate those things. The last thing I want to do is consume them," he said.
If you want to try eating knotweed, first cut stalks when they're 8 to 12 inches tall. Peeling them is optional. Steam them for two to three minutes or use them in recipes calling for rhubarb. Fot additional recipes, go online to www.newenglandwild.org, the website of the New England Wildflower Society, and search for Cohen's knotweed recipes, or try eattheinvaders.org/Japanese-knotweed.

Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home By Richard Foster
About the Author
Richard J. Foster is the author of many best selling books, which includes the most famous "Celebration of Discipline and Streams of Living of Water." He is also the founder of Renovare an infrachurch movement that is dedicated to the restoration of the Church in all her comprehensive expressions. In addition, his is a general editor of the forthcoming Renovare Spiritual Formation Study Bible (1).
Foster is undoubtedly one of the foremost modern writers and speakers on Christian spirituality. His childhood was among Evangelical Friends. While, he spent his adult life among friends pastor and a professor of theology at Friends University, among the many positions he has held. Foster frequently made reference to Quaker historical figures and his own Quakerism both in his books and speaking (1).
Richard J. Foster, the best-selling author has offered this time to his readers an ardent, persuasive, and perceptive introduction on prayer to comprehend, understand, and practice it in its many ways, from the simple prayer of starting again to continuous prayer. One of the focus points of the book is the clarification on the process of prayer, answers to general misconceptions, and explained the way into prayers of meditation, relaxation, sanctify, mercy, and healing (2).
Another important point in the book is that Foster has revealed the means for others to have the experience of prayer at a thoughtful heart-level, which according to him is not merely a place of sentiment and feelings, but it contains a focal point where the human soul is changed and enjoys a new oneness with God. As Foster said:
Nothing feels more right, more like what we are created to be and to do. Yet at the same time we are confronted with great mysteries. Who hasn't struggled with the puzzle of unanswered prayer? Who hasn't wondered how a finite person can commune with the infinite Creator of the universe? Who hasn't questioned whether prayer isn't merely psychological manipulation after all? We do our best, of course, to answer these knotty questions but when all is said and done, there is a sense in which these mysteries remain unanswered and unanswerable... At such times we must learn to become comfortable with the mystery (2)."
Analysis of the book (Strengths & Weakness)
The main strength of the book is that this logically written book revealed what prayer is all about, and the writer is someone who has himself practiced prayer, loved praying and carefully and completely understood its meaning and importance (2,3).
One can hardly points out the weaknesses of the book as the author has made in-depth and through research and discovered the various aspects of prayer, whether it is an ordinary prayer or extraordinary. He believes that the root is a relationship, which is encouraged by God and which can be developed by all, no matter what experience they have (2).
Another plus point in the book is his concise description of prayer as a journey inward, upward and outward (transformation, intimacy, and ministry) and illustrated with examples of the classics of prayer and the mystics of history, relating prayer to the everyday.
Although hundreds of books on prayer have been written, and much of the suggestions and information they have is likely to be the same. But the key to this book for being distinguished from the rest is that the author knows something of God's heart. He has genuinely explored the different aspects of prayer, defined as (2): "The human response to the perpetual outpouring of love by which God lays siege to every soul." And "ordinary people bringing... ordinary concerns to a loving and compassionate Father."
Unlike other authors, he has explored the hidden places where prayer becomes not just appeal or request but a way of life. He has very thoughtfully explained prayer of admiration and relaxation, thoughtfulness, contemplation and sacramental prayer. While in the last section of the book he explained the outward prayer, where prayer meets the requirements of the world. In every chapter Foster has described, illustrated, and gave supportive examples and primarily he has written the book with artistic and spiritual mind (2,3).
Richard Foster does not tell us how to acquire things through prayer: he tells us how God will help us discover him through prayer. He leads us beyond questions to a deeper understanding and practice of prayer, bringing us closer to God, to ourselves, and to our community (2). Thus, this book is one of the most comprehensive, yet comprehensible introductions to prayer that Foster has gifted to his readers.
In addition to many plus points and strengths, the book is a volume that merges knowledge of church history's classic devotion along with a novelty appeal to the 21st century (3). This book is not just another book written on what few people may call "prayer lite." But rather the author of this book has presented solid work that has its ground in the theology with the history of the Church.
The book is a comprehensive overview of prayer where throughout exploring many various forms of prayer, the reader is assisted by clear understanding of the meaning and gist of the book.
Finally, the greatest thing about this book is Foster's many personal stories that put flesh and blood on the subject matter along with his practical approach and still being semi-intellectual in his approach. This book is definitely helpful and positive for young and old Christians that can change the heart (3).
Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship With God by Dallas Willard
About the Author
The author Dallas Willard is AB.A. In psychology from Tennessee Temple College and a B.A. In philosophy and religion from Baylor University. He has done his Ph.D from the University of Wisconsin. His major was philosophy, and minor history of science (4).
His significant works includes; The Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding How God Changes Lives and The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life in God (4). The former, acclaimed, as "the book of the decade" by author and professor Richard Foster, is a call to live the style of life Jesus himself lived, thus continued steady interaction with his kingdom (4).
Dallas Willard in his book "Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship With God" has presented rich mystical insight into how one can evidently hear God's voice and expand a close association with him in the work of his empire (4).
According to Dallas, being close to God means corresponding with him and communicating to him in prayer as to what is on ones' hearts and also listening and understanding to what he is saying. This is term as second half of a person's conversation with God, which at the same time is very important and difficult in the sense as how do we hear God's voice? What role does the Bible play? OR what if what God says to us is not clear (4)?
Here the author very clearly has explained that the key to communicate successfully to God is by focusing not much on ones' actions and decisions but by building personal relationship with the Creator (4).
Analysis of the Book (Strengths and Weakness)
The book contains information with rich devout insight as to how one can approach God and develop a close relationship with him. This approach is quite successful since According to Willard, there aren't any formulas to reach God except the way to find God's will is to look for God and learn how to communicate with him (5).
One of the strengths of the book is the argument given by Willard that in quest of God's will, one usually ask wrong questions, for instance; "What job should I take?" "Whom should I marry?" Although he agreed that these questions are genuine and justifiable but at the same time they should be secondary to needs to have a profound relationship with God. Thus, it is in that bond with God that the questions of lives get answered. He has also explored the teachings of the Bible in terms of God communication with his mankind (4, 5).
The only criticism of this book is that the author used too much time examining the theories while did not give ample time in exploring the practicality of the same. Actually, Dallas Willard ran through the prison stuffing keys in every cell doors, calling all to turn the key and be set free from rigid thinking of when and how God speaks to his mankind. This book is not just any summer reading, but it requires a lot of time to absorb everything the author has written, which is again a set back about this book (5).
In the book the author has pointed out what life could be like if one would just have the belief in the fact that God wants to speak to you, and that is only possible if you would know what frequency to tune…[continue]

Initially, I had to point out when people were saying things that would indicate a connection between group members. However, once those connections were established, the group members moved rather rapidly towards directly relating with one another.

Small groups tend to do postmortems of old failures, archaeologizing (digging in the past for
