Video: Lessons in lacrosse and life: Coach teaches inner city kids new sport

>>> in new hampshire, a group of kids who might not normally know much about lacrosse are learning a whole lot about the game thanks to one man's generosity. ron mott has more.

>> reporter: michael garrett spent his fall pushing a sport these youngsters hardly know. he started inner city lacrosse for kids just like coby spence.

>> i couldn't believe my ears when my mom told me you want to join lacrosse? i was like what?

>> a lot of people can't afford to participate in extracurricular activities. sometimes you find yourself in that predicament.

>> lacrosse, a lot of people think of it as an elite sport.

>> it is. but let's change that.

>> reporter: growing up in the shadows of an ivy league tower like yale university fueled a burning desire to overcome.

sending faxes via GrandStream HT701 - Elastix Forums :: Open ...

My carrier supports T.38 all the way through their network to the carrier.. It is guaranteed and it part of their premium package. I'm having issues with my GrandStream HT701. It's set to T.38 and reinvites upon fax detection is enabled by default on the ATA. For some reason it's still not sending T.38 reinvites. Below is what I have in my sip.conf and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Important Information With Regards To Self Improvement | Richard ...

Self improvement requires that you educate yourself. This will ensure that your personal growth will be efficient. Read on for some great tips on developing yourself to become a better person.

When you feel anger start to boil over, stop before you react and count to ten. Breathe deeply, and think calm thoughts. These tips will help you remain calm and keep from saying something you will regret later.

In order to succeed in personal development, you must change your attitude. Having a bad attitude in life will never get you far and can in fact, lead you in the wrong direction. Staying positive and acting with a good attitude can help you attain your goals.

You will be healthier and you will go further than you ever thought possible. Being in a good state of health makes anyone feel better. Taking care of your health will allow you to avoid illness and save money on unnecessary visits to the doctor. Making healthy choices should be a top priority.

TIP! Everyone screws up sometime and does something they should not. Stress hurts your body as much as a large slice of high calorie pie, so take it all in stride.

Never underestimate the power of humility. Compared to the immense universe we are really very small. Everyone has gaps in their understanding, and can benefit from the wisdom of others. Learn as much as you can from each person you meet. If you keep your mind constantly open, the things others can teach may well astound you.

Begin a fund for emergency purposes. It appears as though every time something unexpected happens, we charge more to our credit cards. However, you can protect yourself from this happening by depositing a few dollars into a savings account each week. You will be surprised at how quickly your emergency fund will increase. Having an emergency fund will prevent you from having to use credit cards to pay for unexpected expenses, which will save you a great deal in interest over the years.

Self discipline will benefit your personal development journey. Teach yourself how to overrule your body?s desire for things that can harm you. Do not give into things that are bad for you such as greediness or overeating. If you can cut out the negative aspects of your personality you?ll find your entire being becomes healthier and happier.

TIP! Leadership is essential in your personal development. Although there are many different definitions of leadership, the most common being ?influence?.

Put your core principles into practice. Everyone has certain beliefs that reinforce their sense of self at the core. If you have good reason to have these beliefs, you will feel more confident and grow your self esteem by adhering to these beliefs and principles. Maintaining your core foundation allows for consistency in life and builds good character.

Choose very specific personal development goals so that you have a clear path to success. By having specific goals in place, you will be able to set up a plan to accomplish them. This assists you in overcoming difficult tasks and enjoying quicker success.

The first step in changing is making a decision to change. Accepting change will allow you to grow on your path to self development.

Improve your life by taking on the habits that have brought success to others. Focus on doing a few fundamental things, and work on them until they are part of your every day life. It is commonly believed that it takes about 3 weeks to get a habit ingrained into your behavior, so have patience and stick with it.

TIP! Being healthy will allow you to focus on other areas of your personal development. Never allow yourself to become dehydrated or overly hungry.

Stop stressing the small stuff. Worrying is creating a situation in your head that has not happened, and in most cases, will not happen. As an alternative to worrying, think about the worst thing that could happen and then develop a plan to address that scenario should it happen. Being prepared gives you the freedom to enjoy your life more fully.

As previously mentioned, knowledge is essential to personal development. However, learning new knowledge is pointless if you never apply it to any real life situations. There are many different facets to self-improvement. You will be more self-assured once you implement the suggestions in this article.

Obama makes opening move in 'fiscal cliff' deal

President Barack Obama has started the bidding on the 'fiscal cliff' deal with substantial concessions on tax increases and spending cuts, Reich writes.

By Robert Reich,?Guest blogger / November 30, 2012

House Speaker House John Boehner of Ohio, center, leaves a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday. If Republicans push us over the fiscal cliff, the Clinton tax rates become effective January 1, Reich writes, thereby empowering Democrats in the next congress to get a far better deal.

Robert is chancellor?s professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley. He has served in three national administrations, most recently as secretary of labor under President Clinton. Time Magazine?named him one of the 10 most effective cabinet secretaries of the last century. He has written 13 books, including ?The Work of Nations,? his latest best-seller ?Aftershock: The Next Economy and America?s Future," and a new?e-book, ?Beyond Outrage.??He is also a founding editor of the American Prospect magazine and chairman of Common Cause.

According to the?Wall Street Journal?(which got the information from GOP leaders), the President?s opening bid to Republicans is:

? $1.6 trillion in additional tax revenues over the next decade, from limiting tax deductions on the wealthy and raising tax rates on incomes over $250,000 (although those rates don?t have to rise as high as the top marginal rates under Bill Clinton)

? $50 billion in added economic stimulus next year

? A one-year postponement of pending spending cuts in defense and domestic programs

? $400 billion in savings over the decade from Medicare and other entitlement programs??(the same number contained in the President?s 2013 budget proposal, submitted before the election).

? Authority to raise the debt limit without congressional approval.

The $50 billion in added stimulus is welcome. We need more spending in the short term in order to keep the recovery going, particularly in light of economic contractions in Europe and Japan, and slowdowns in China and India.?

Thread: One seriously packed shop - Family Woodworking

This is one job. And the largest I've ever done.
A little fuzzy on the details, but from memory:
The job is all inset.
90%+ painted, the remainder is Birch, with one very small Maple butcher block in the kitchen.
84 Drawers, solid birch dovetailed drawers. Blum 562H slides.
88 Drawer Fronts, a bit less than 2/3rd's of which are five piece fronts.
7 Roll out trays, (mine are dovetailed)
2 Trash Roll Outs.
89 doors, flat panel, ogee sticking.
I think there's 42 boxes, I'm not sure on total footage.
There's at least a dozen wood tops.
PLUS! I had the monotony of making over 200 cedar brackets for under the eves, (I've got a bunch more to do next week for the detached garage). I don't know the architectural name for the part sadly.

My little shop, is cramped to begin with, the last couple of days as the last few boxes were being built, it was really tough to size doors/drawer fronts to the openings. Made for some long walks to edge sander for things that were in the far corners having to walk around everything.

Plus the shop is a flippin' mess. I hate a dirty shop. I sweep up almost every day, but haven't been able to do a thorough blowing out with the leaf blower in a few weeks, and that typically happens at least once a week. I like there to be little to no evidence other than the results of wood being cut.

From this point it is 55' to the overhead door!

Molecular knock-out alleviates Alzheimer's symptoms in mice

ScienceDaily (Nov. 30, 2012) ? Researchers at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the University Medical Center G?ttingen (UMG) have identified an enzyme as a possible target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The protein known as HDAC6 impairs transport processes within the nerve cells. The scientists observed only mild symptoms of the disease in mice if the enzyme was not produced. They propose to block its activity in a targeted fashion to treat the disease. Scientists from the DZNE sites in G?ttingen and Bonn, the UMG as well as from the US participated in this basic research project on Alzheimer's disease.

The study is published in EMBO Molecular Medicine.

The researchers led by Prof. Andr? Fischer, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University Medical Center Gottingen and Site Speaker of the DZNE in G?ttingen, investigated mice with a modified genetic background. The animals showed behavioural disorders and brain deposits that are typically associated with Alzheimer's disease. The researchers went a step further with a group of other animals by removing the genes responsible for the production of the HDAC6 enzyme (histone deacetylase 6). This intervention proved to be effective: while these mice also exhibited the pathological features of Alzheimer's disease in the brain, their behaviour was significantly ameliorated. "The animals' ability to learn and to find their spatial bearings was relatively normal," says Prof. Fischer. "Their cognitive abilities were fully comparable to those of healthy mice."

Improved cellular traffic

In the researchers' view, this effect is at least partly attributable to the fact that important transport processes within the nerve cells are facilitated when the HDAC6 enzyme is not around. This meant in particular that the cells' power plants, also known as "mitochondria," can travel to their final destinations. "It is known that in various neurodegenerative diseases cellular transport is no longer functional. The substances that are to be transported along axons are left behind," Fischer says. "Measures which improve trafficking seem to have a positive effect."

Possible target for therapy?

The researchers' findings suggest that the HDAC6 enzyme could be a possible target for therapies against Alzheimer's disease. However, treatments would require an active substance that can disable the enzyme in a targeted fashion. Unfortunately, the active substances known to date are too unspecific. Prof. Fischer explains that their application resembles a broad-spectrum treatment: "We don't know precisely what is the therapeutic effect of the inhibitors, since they simultaneously block several enzymes from the histone deacetylase family," he says. "And we still don't know enough about how the individual enzymes function."

Improving the accuracy of the inhibitors is therefore the aim of further research. "We will continue to work toward this goal. On one hand, we want to improve our understanding of how the various histone deacetylases function. On the other hand, we want to test inhibitors that operate in a more targeted manner," says Prof. Andr? Fischer.
