While there are many reasons to worry about what the future may bringwith global warming, oil depletion and international terrorism high on the listit is imaginable, at least for optimists, that these challenges can be dealt with in some fashion or other. One problem, however, should invite no easy, comforting thoughts: aging societies. The developed countries are already feeling the early gusts of dangerous winds, and even the developing countries are beginning to notice them as well. Little guesswork is needed. The young people who will become the old people in coming decades are already alive. Their numbers can be counted, and those demographics cannot be changed.
The reasons for anxiety are emerging in the United States, even if so far the challenges seem manageable. There are the demographic projections: 36 million of us are now over 65, close to 13 percent of the population, and our number is expected to rise to 71.5 million by 2030, to 19 percent. Some 9.6 million of us will be over the age of 85. There are the economic implications: Medicare will grow from the present 2.4 percent of the G.D.P. to 8.3 percent in 2050; and the combined costs of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are expected almost to double by 2035. Then there are the medical portents: close to 50 percent of those over 85 will suffer from some form of dementia, and only 5 percent will be fully mobile. The projected long-term institutional costs alone, quite apart from medical expenses, are looking astronomical also.
Figures of that magnitude should catch everyone's eye, but their very size tends to obscure a no less important problem. How ought we, from an ethical standpoint, care for the elderly? What do we owe them in their time of need (which can go on for many years), not only in terms of government medical and welfare programs, but in terms of personal time, energy and personal resources? The President's Council on Bioethics has tried to respond to questions of that kind in its new report, Taking Care: Ethical Caregiving in Our Aging Society. That council, appointed by President Bush and chaired until recently by Leon R. Kass (now replaced by Edmund D. Pellegrino, M.D.), has had more than its share of controversy, most of it wholly undeserved. The council had the misfortune of getting caught in some of the nastiness of the debates about cloning and stem cell research, of wrongly being assumed to be puppets of the president and of running afoul of a high tide of technological enthusiasm, which takes any and all questioning of medical progress as nothing but hostility to science, a crime of the first order. As a matter of fact, its reports have generally received high marks, providing careful analysis and reasonable conclusions of a quality that even many of its critics have acknowledged.
The report on caregiving is no exception, even if it here and there leaves some gaps and displays some crucial ambiguities. (I should note that I was asked to read the draft of one small part of it.) It begins with an examination of the data on our aging society, summarizing what we can expect in the future: how many elderly there are likely to be and their proportion of the population, the projected costs of medical and long-term care and the many problems that will be posed for family caretakers. It then takes up the question of advance directives, consisting either of a written living will or the appointment of a surrogate, and their bearing on the decisions of physicians and family members who honor them. At the heart of the report is a chapter on the ethics of caregiving, setting forth some general principles.
Those principles are then deployed in a chapter on their relationship to the prudence needed to make appropriate use of them in difficult cases. The last chapter offers a number of summary recommendations, drawing on the previous chapters. All in all, there is a helpful movement in the report back and forth between the general and the particular, appropriate in grounding the discussion in the full range of the dilemmas of a sensitive provision of care.
Let me express at the outset some of my own hesitations. While the report notes the huge financial problems an aging society will impose, particularly on public programs, it does not take us very far in confronting the inevitable rationing that will almost surely be necessary. The report adverts to it, but that is about all. The combination of rising costs, imposed by the increasing number of elderly together with ever fancier technologies to treat them, requires a national dialogue that our country has put off for too long. How are we supposed to deal with the ever-rising cost of an aging society? How are we best to balance the needs of children against those of the elderly, of education against health care, of job creation for the young against support for the retired? Liberals have avoided such tensions out of a fear of promoting ageism and appearing to treat the elderly condescendingly, as nothing other than a burdenwhich is considered a demeaning, even nasty, word. Some conservatives, not to be outdone in evasive tactics, have taken any talk of limits and rationing as nothing but social euthanasia.
I can well understand why the council decided to acknowledge but not take on in detail the political and economic problems of Medicare and Medicaid, which pay for long-term care; they had enough on their plate. Yet since the care of the elderly is so heavily a government problem, and its finances so directly bear on the situation of families in caring for the elderly, more might usefully have been said. It may surprise some liberals to know that the council sees the need for strong government support. It goes nowhere near taking a conservative cost-cutting line, and there is no hint of an anti-big government bias.
But just how far ought the government to go? Without directly relating in any detail their observations to the economic issues, the authors of the report astutely note how an important traditional principle of balancing patient benefits and burdens is now revealing another side, a troubling one. If the only morally permissible criteria for forgoing life-sustaining medical treatment is that the treatment is itself burdensome or ineffectual, then every affordable treatment that meets these criteria becomes a moral obligation. Every medical invention of such a sort creates a new moral duty. Progress constrains human choice as much as it expands it.
That is an invaluable insight. The Medicare program, for instance, is steadily being forced to decide whether to provide coverage for exceedingly expensive treatments (e.g., $50,000 to $100,000 a year) that bring some short-term benefits but limited long-term health gains. Its administrators know that the program cannot continue much longer to pay for every new technology that comes along, but it was legislatively organized in a way that does not allow cost considerations any role at all in determining what will be reimbursed. And Congress has resisted efforts to allow a place for those considerationsor even to talk about them-no doubt intuiting the fractious public debate this would instantly set off. We seem, the council report notes, to be bound by technological innovations that may not always serve what seems like a human good. That insight is surely correct, but its power is, unhappily, not ordinarily sufficient to stand in the way of technological innovations in a culture infatuated with those innovations.
I have let myself so far be distracted by some points in the report that seem to me more important than the space and development accorded them; but they should not be overlooked. Why were they not more developed? I suspect because of an implicit notion of ethics that too sharply distinguishes between the sphere of personal conduct and morality and that of economics and politics. In the case of an aging society that affects our lives individually and socially, our personal morality about caring and our nation's social policies will inevitably interact with each other.
The level of medical and welfare benefits that we make available through our taxes to an elderly wife caring for her sick husband will make an enormous difference in her capacity to provide lovingand not just dutiful, angry and resentfulcare and in maintaining her own health along the way. The council emphasizes interdependence as a key value in personal care for the aged, and that seems right on target. Yet if public policy is understood as the way we treat those who are strangers to us, knowing they are part of our extended community, that will affect the private and the personal in our own lives as well. The concept of interdependence can then rightly be expanded to encompass social policy and not treat it as a separate category. The European commitment to the value of solidarity in its support of universal health care nicely captures that idea of interdependence, among family members and the larger community in which families exist.
The central theme of the report, focused on the moral values and principles we ought to bring to the care of the old, comes down to one starting point: that of providing the best care for the person now before us. Human beings, it writes, who are dwindling, enfeebled, or disabled in body or in mind remain equal members of the human community. As such we are obligated to treat them with respect and to seek their well-being, here and now.
Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are flatly ruled out, but otherwise, in pursuing its theme of the here and now, the report seeks to balance important values: not to postpone the end of the patient's life as long as is medically possible, but always to benefit the life the patient still has, and to recognize an obligation to avoid inflicting treatments that are unduly burdensome to the patient being treated (italics in original). Those values are explicated with great delicacy in the report's case studies. Of course every word in those assertions can be argued about and has been argued about indefinitely: unduly, benefit, medically possiblebut they are the best words we have. There are more moral distinctions than angels who can dance on the head of a pin, and most of them remain relevant.
But some ambiguities arise along the way. Like many others in recent years, the report is critical of living wills as a legal instrument for the kind of care one would like to receive. The alternative is the appointment of a proxy, someone to act in one's behalf. Yet living wills were originally designed for end-of-life decisions, not to provide for any and all cases of incapacity to make decisions at other times of life. But this distinction gets lost along the way in the report. In great part that is because a primary and recurring case example is that of dementia, an important source of incapacity but not the only one. What is to be done when a person had stated in his living will that he wants life-preserving medical treatment terminated should he be afflicted with advanced Alzheimer's diseasebut, when the time comes, appears to be happy and contented? It makes sense, in those circumstances, for the earlier wish to be put aside, or at least for that possibility to be seriously discussed by the person's family and caretakers.
Yet apart from that kind of unusual circumstance, the report affirms, with a hint of reluctance, the importance of a patient's prior wishes. In stressing the value, now widely accepted, of a proxy in preference to a living will, the report cites its fostering of interdependence as the superior strength of a proxy. Yet what it seems to miss is that one reason many now prefer proxy directives is not just to affirm interdependence. Instead, it is in order that the proxy can serve as a zealous and single-minded advocate, pushing hard for what the patient had earlier stated as his desire. Living wills are being rejected in great part because they have proved to be a failure as an instrument for ensuring self-determination about the end of one's life. They are often hard to interpret and easily ignored. A proxy can represent a patient better than a piece of paper and can also deal with situations a patient may not have anticipated.
Yet it would seem to me a terrible breach of trust for a proxy to set aside the patient's earlier wishes (assuming they had been amply discussed) simply because the proxy later comes to believe it was a wrong decision or cannot bear to follow through on it. This is a difficult and delicate matter: the proxy remains a moral agent, not simply a hired gun. Short of extraordinary circumstances, the proxy should do what he or she was asked (and agreed) to do. Living wills, the report argues, make autonomy and self-determination the primary values at a time of life when one is no longer autonomous or self-determining, and what one needs is loyal and loving care.
That is a puzzling statement, one that would make more sense if the phrase at a time of life were replaced by for a time of life. While hardly infallible, it is possible for people to come to a reasonable judgment about how they want to be treated at the end of their lifeand particularly for elderly persons who have observed the deaths of many of their fellow elderly. The desire for self-determination is by no means incompatible with a desire for loyal and loving care, or interdependence, but the report leaves the impression that there is a conflict. Our dying, as the report itself observes, is personal and individual, even if its context is social and interdependent.
Perhaps my trouble in reading the text comes from one of its virtues. It works hard to make its way through some complicated issues, doing justice to values that often seem to be in conflict with one another or even to subvert one another. Reports of that kindin the form of on the one hand, on the other handare easily misinterpreted. In any case, readers of the report will be invigorated by it, and that is no mean accomplishment. I know from my own experience in writing about elder care and policy that it is uncommonly difficult territory to traverse without setting off hidden land mines. Along with death, aging is one of those topics that most people take with great seriousness and often no less great ambivalence. It is easy to argue about it with others, if only because most of us have been forced to argue about it with ourselves. And there is much more such turmoil ahead.

Canon U.S.A. Launches Updated Managed Document Services Program
Wednesday, January 08, 2014
Press release from the issuing company
Canon MDS Offers a Comprehensive Suite of Solutions Including Cloud-based Technology and Brand Agnostic Services to Help Businesses and Canon Authorized Dealers Meet Goals for Cost Reduction, Improved Serviceability, and Document Accessibility
MELVILLE, N.Y. – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today unveiled an updated, end-to-end program to deliver Canon Managed Document Services (MDS). At the core of the new program is the availability of the MDS Cloud Platform, which provides tools and services to help businesses design, implement and centrally manage the infrastructure and processes that support the flow and output of printed and electronic documents. The enhancements will be offered through Canon U.S.A and the Canon Dealer Channel, allowing Canon Dealerships to support end-to-end MDS customer engagements and help augment their current program.
"Until now, implementing a Managed Document Services program typically required an investment in different software applications, as well as several employees to manage and administer that software," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A. "MDS Cloud helps automate many functions that have previously required multiple systems or manual processes, and pulls it all together into a centralized management system delivered over the cloud."
Companies can more easily reduce the total cost of ownership and operation, improve device availability to users and streamline business processes through Canon's updated and comprehensive Managed Document Services program. Canon MDS consists of a global methodology and menu of customized onsite and cloud-based offerings that allow both flexibility and consistency in design and scalability.
"The key to efficient and effective basic MPS delivery is offering an integrated, cloud-based fleet management infrastructure, which the new Canon program accomplishes," said Ed Crowley, CEO and Founder of Photizo Group. "Canon's MDS Cloud offering is a comprehensive program that includes not only basic fleet management, but also Advanced Document Services, resulting in a very complete end-to-end Managed Document Services offering. We at Photizo Group advocate for the importance of integrating the dealer ERP with the fleet management infrastructure, which Canon's new program also accomplishes. As with most things, the secret to success is in the execution, so I am anxious to see how the program is deployed. But clearly, in terms of comprehensiveness, Canon has launched a very nice and very comprehensive program."
The updated Canon MDS program is built upon the company's proven Managed Document Services methodology and program, which launched worldwide in 2009. The Canon MDS approach provides a single source of accountability at each stage of a managed services engagement, including Discover, Design; Implement and Transition; Support and Manage; and Review. The new updates to the Canon MDS program build upon this foundation with a comprehensive suite of services to benefit clients at every stage, from controlling the fleet to business process optimization.
At the start of a MDS engagement, Canon and Canon Authorized Dealers will conduct a discovery assessment using remote monitoring software and user surveys that help determine the current costs and capabilities of the existing document output environment. Going beyond basic meter counts, Canon's discovery assessment services can provide a detailed, thorough and accurate view not only of a client's assets, but also the unique needs and behaviors driving workflows in that particular business.
Using the results of the discovery assessment as a guide, Canon and Canon Authorized Dealers can develop a hardware and software solutions plan to help the client achieve its workflow goals; reduce inefficiencies; address over- and underutilized devices; reduce print, service and supply costs and increase document accessibility and security for onsite, remote and mobile employees.
Implement and Transition
Before any new hardware is installed or document workflow solution is implemented, Canon and Canon Authorized Dealers can help prepare staff with a clear communications strategy that outlines the transition. Users are trained to use new devices, as well as the new document workflow processes. The entire change management process is supported by monitoring users on an ongoing basis, quickly identifying potential roadblocks during deployment and resolving issues with additional training or adjustments to the plan.
Support and Manage
Maintaining the health of the fleet and supporting users on a day-to-day basis are at the heart of the Canon MDS program.
Designed to help clients stay focused on their core business while removing the resources and time required to manage their print infrastructure, Canon's available service delivery offerings include:
The Canon MDS Program is available from Canon U.S.A. or through Canon's Authorized Dealers. Prices for solutions and services are determined by the size and scope of each client engagement and the specific offerings selected.** For more information please visit www.usa.canon.com/mds.
† Based on weekly patent counts issued by United States Patent and Trademark Office.
*Please consult with a Canon MDS specialist for available devices supported under Proactive Supplies and Service Fulfillment
**Availability, prices, and specifications of all products are subject to change without notice. Actual prices are set by individual dealers and may vary.

NUTRITION We all want to include our dogs in our holiday celebrations, but hopefully, you're aware that sharing table scraps with your dog isn't always the best idea.
HEALTH Summer is coming on fast, so it's time to plan how you will keep your dog safe and healthy through the lazy, carefree, warm days.
NUTRITION With the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.

Loving mother, daughter, and sister
Ashley Marie Monnig-Burns, daughter of Michael Leo Monnig and Sharon Marie Monnig, was born on January 18, 1984 in Osage Beach, Missouri and departed this life on November 30, 2013 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Raymond and Geneva Monnig, her maternal grandparents, Vernon and Marie Stamper, and her cousin Connor Stamper.
Survivors include her beautiful daughter, Sadie Marie Burns of the home; Sadie's father Robert Burns of Linn Creek, Missouri, and his daughter Chelsea of the home; loving parents, Michael Monnig and Sharon Monnig of Camdenton, Missouri; two brothers, Brandon Monnig and wife Cira of Springfield, Missouri, and Brian Monnig, of Camdenton, Missouri; niece Geneva Monnig of Springfield, Missouri; nephew Connor Clement of Springfield, Missouri, and a host of many other aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives, and friends.
Ashley was raised in Camdenton, Missouri and graduated from Camdenton High School. She then attended the University of Missouri- Columbia and Columbia College earning her B.A. in psychology with minors in both sociology and criminal justice. She was currently working on earning her MA from Webster University in Rolla specializing in Professional Mental Health Counseling. She held a 3.95 grade point average and was proudly on track to have earned that degree in May of 2015. She was extremely excited and eager to begin putting her education to good use in assisting in the community.
During the time in which Ashley was receiving her degree work she was very passionate about making both her community and the world around her a better place. She served her community as a detention staff member for four years at the Mary Dickerson Juvenile Justice Center from 2008 until 2012. During this time she assisted juvenile offenders by helping to counsel and rehabilitate them during their detention. She was also an active regional committee member of the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) designed to support the Casey Foundation's vision that all youth involved in the juvenile justice system have opportunities to develop into healthy and productive adults.
Previously Ashley served as a Community Support Specialist and Children's Case Manager for Pathway's Behavioral Health in Camdenton, Missouri and Eldon, Missouri. During this time in her life Ashley was tasked with collaborating with therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, and medical doctors to do home and school visits weekly to ensure effective implementation of individual treatment plans for those in need in her community. Prior to this she worked as Children's Division Caseworker for the Miller County Division of Family Services conducting very similar work.
Ashley's enjoyments in life were simple. The thing she enjoyed most was spending time with her daughter Sadie. She also enjoyed outdoor activities like arrowhead hunting, gardening, canning fruits and vegetables, and swimming. She was an avid bible reader and loved bible study with friends. She had committed her life faithfully to Christ, her Lord and Savior.
Visitation will be held Wednesday, December 4, 2013, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Hedges-Scott Funeral Home, Camdenton, Missouri.
Funeral Services will be Thursday, December 5, at 2:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
Memorial donations are suggested to a fund that has been established under the names of Ashley Monnig Burns and Sadie Burns c/o Great Southern Bank, and may be left at the funeral home.
Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.hedgesscottfuneralhomes.com
Arrangements have been placed under the care of Hedges-Scott Funeral Home, Camdenton, Missouri.

Holden has performed a handbrake turn on plans to close its Australian proving ground, saying that it will keep the engineering testing centre open after the company quits local car manufacturing in 2017.
But a key car workers' union says the decision shows the federal government was too hasty to withdraw its support for Australian car manufacturing.
Holden will maintain about 70 staff at its Victorian proving ground, which General Motors International Operations president Stefan Jacoby said would retune imported cars for Australian buyers and do some work for GM's international engineering team.
Holden announced the closure of Lang Lang as part of its December decision to cease making the Commodore, Statesman/Caprice and Cruze range of locally-made cars, costing 2900 jobs.
Mr Jacoby denied keeping Lang Lang open was a marketing exercise to preserve its dwindling market share since the news it was pulling out of manufacturing.
"As we continue to plan for the company's success now and in the future, it is important that Holden and its vehicles retain their Australian DNA," he told reporters in Melbourne.
"It will be involved in global engineering development as well, but mainly for fine-tuning for these vehicles which we will introduce for the Australian market."
Australian Manufacturing Workers Union national vehicle secretary Dave Smith said the federal government should have supported the industry until the high Australian dollar lost some value.
"The announcement ... simply shows that the Australian government has been incredibly short-sighted and signed off jobs," he said.
"We have some of the best auto engineers in Australia, and we're glad that some of them may be able to keep their jobs. But there will no longer be the capacity to build cars from scratch which is a crying shame."
Mr Jacoby on Thursday launched three niche European GM models to be sold in Australia and New Zealand from the first half of 2015 - the Astra hatch, Cascada convertible and Insignia performance sedan.
He refused to comment on further product announcements.
It is rumoured that American vehicles including the Cadillac luxury brand and the iconic Chevrolet Camaro - engineered in Australia on a platform it shares with the Commodore - might appear in Australia in the future.
Victorian Manufacturing Minister David Hodgett said keeping Lang Lang open was a vote of confidence in the state economy.
"This shows that while automotive manufacturing is ceasing in our country, Victoria still has world-class engineering and design capabilities, and these skills are of real value to Holden and the wider automotive industry."

NJ Transit is cross-honoring bus and rail tickets through the rest of Monday.
Bergen County also got a soaking from the storms with flooding on Routes 3 and 17.
The first storms on Monday moved south-to-north along the Delaware and gave Hunterdon, Warren, Morris and Sussex counties a soaking rain falling at the rate of 2 inches per hour to start the day and intense lightning.
Parts of Union and Essex counties were under a Tornado Warning for a time after 9 a.m. after a rotation was spotted in the clouds over North Plainfield. The Warning was cancelled shortly before it was to end at 9:45 a.m.
A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Mercer, Hunterdon, Sussex, Morris, Middlesex, Warren. Somerset, Camden, Gloucester, Burlington and Salem counties in anticipation of storms that develop during Monday with heavy rains, winds and possible hail.
The threat for thunderstorms will continue through Thursday as a frontal boundry positions itself over the areastretching from New England southwestward through New Jersey and down the Appalachians. The boundtry will slowly move west until it dissipates by Thursday.

Series: Secret Life of Samantha McGregor
Author Bio▼▲
Samantha McGregor has an amazing gift from God: she often has prophetic visions. Dreams visit her, serving as a warning for something that could happen to someone she knows. With her brother Zach coming home from a ninety-day rehab for a meth addiction, she figures everything will be fine. Unfortunately for her, things do not go smoothly once her brother returns. Samantha also begins to receive certain visions of drug-related dangers. Soon, life seems to unravel for Samantha as she begins losing trust in her brother, and she starts hearing about people using drugs around her very own school. How can she know whom to trust?
From the first chapter, readers will find themselves captivated by this enthralling novel. The story is very well written and seems to go by quickly once you are drawn into the core of the plot. The main character, Samantha, is clearly a devout Christian. This is portrayed by the way she treats her friends and even those people she doesnt know all that well. It is easy to see that she loves most everyone around her, just as God does. An unforgettable scene in this book is when Samantha has a vision of a cabin caught on fire and someone, whom she believes to be her brother, shot and killed. It will keep readers wondering until the end about what truly happened.
Samantha Sam McGregor is a teenage girl living her life for God. When all the drug-related confusion begins occurring, she needs to rely on Him for guidance. As her family seemingly falls apart, she tries her best to keep it connected even as her brother and mom continuously get into fights. On top of everything, Samantha helps the local police as a member of their new drug task force, trying to find leads on who is manufacturing and selling drugs to the people of Brighton. She continuously dreams about drug-related danger and turns to Ebony Hamilton, her friend working in the police department, telling her about it. It is clear that Sam has her life set straight for the Lord, and she also has a best friend, Olivia, who also encourages her spiritually. For the most part, Sam is in a city full of non-believers, but she doesnt let this stop her from telling folks about the amazing God she serves.
In the end, Samantha must confront her fears of her brother being involved in the trafficking of drugs and possibly the death of a man. Once you finish reading Playing with Fire, you will be amazed at the outcome of the story and how the mystery is finally resolved. My only negative comment on this novel would be how the author seems to overuse the word Okay in her dialog. Overall, this novel is easy to immerse yourself into, whether you are a boy or girl. I would honestly recommend Playing with Fire to any Christian teenager who likes a great suspenseful story with a bit of a mystery added to it. Michael Moore, Christian Book Previews.com

If stalk you mean rape, then yes.

That would be impressive.
Paparazzi and everything.
I have never had a stalker of any kind but a chick I was going to go on a blind date with did a google search of me and I never heard from her again.

I also stalked Slippy until she threw gravy and fries at me so I burned down her shed.

Jenna Dewan & Eddie Cibrian: 'Playboy Club' Preview!
Check out this preview of Jenna Dewan and Eddie Cibrian's new show on NBC, The Playboy Club!
Here's the synopsis: "It's the early '60s, and the legendary Playboy Club in Chicago is the door to all your fantasies… and the key is the most sought after status symbol of its time."
Also starring in the show are Amber Heard and Naturi Naughton.
"I think because this is character-based – it's a group of friends who become family within this interesting, rich setting – I think the plot and stars can't help but take center stage. The racy material, you'll find, is not all that racy," Amber recently told EW.
The Playboy Club will air on Mondays at 10/9c on NBC!

Reviewed By Carlos P (Westchester, CA) Reviewed for a 2008 Acura MDX —10/25/2012 10:09 PM
This product looks great. It fits and stays put. You should know that because it is able to fold up with the third row seats in the MDX, when folded down it doesn't cover the entire cargo area falling short at the front and along the right side. I decided this was worth the trade off.

Anthony Marsh shows the route he took out of his stricken Piper Cherokee 180 as it sank in Old Tampa Bay. Photo courtesy Anthony Marsh.
The highway bridges below were tempting, nearly irresistible in the predawn silence as Anthony Marsh guided his stricken Piper Cherokee 180 over Old Tampa Bay, the propeller windmilling uselessly ahead of him, and St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport suddenly out of reach.
Marsh, 47, was finishing a cross-country from Pennsylvania, anticipating a happy reunion with his girlfriend in Clearwater, Fla. He had departed Doylestown Airport in Doylestown, Pa., hours before with a fuel stop about halfway along the route. He said he should have had about eight gallons left in the tank, and the 1967 Piper was in "tip top shape," though the original engine was nearly at its 2,000-hour limit. He was lined up on a long final to Runway 22, and had just crossed over the Courtney Campbell Causeway at about 1,000 feet when the engine quit.
"That's one thing I will never do again," Marsh said of his decision to descend to pattern altitude so far from the field. "There's no reason to get down to pattern altitude so early and drag it in."
Marsh was in contact with the tower and declared an emergency, running the emergency checklist and scanning the blackness below for options. There was the causeway he had just crossed, and the Bayside Bridge to the west, which nearly parallels Runway 18.
Carb heat on, electric fuel pump on, mixture full rich, no joy. He switched the fuel selector from the tank he was running on to a tank he had run nearly dry, based on his calculations, and the engine sparked to life for just a second or two. He switched back to the tank that should have had eight gallons left, and the engine sputtered to life again, only for a second or two. The gauge showed roughly eight gallons remaining, but "those gauges are notoriously inaccurate. I never rely on them, anyway."
A private pilot with instrument and multiengine ratings, more than 700 hours logged including more than 450 in the airplane he had owned for nine years, Marsh quickly realized all he could rely on was his training and judgment. Even at roughly 2 a.m., there was traffic on the highways and light stanchions forming a canopy over the causeway. The Bayside Bridge was perhaps a better bet, and within reach, but he could see tractor trailers passing below him at speed, and imagined "getting balled up" if he landed in front of one.
"I did definitely consider preservation of other lives and property," Marsh said in a telephone interview Feb. 27. "I wanted that highway. I could have made that highway."
It was a temptation he was able to resist, and a decision he gives himself some credit for: Down to 500 feet or so, he decided the water was his best option, and at least he would avoid endangering motorists. "They didn't want this to happen to them."
Anthony Marsh paid salvage divers $1,300 to retrieve his 1967 Cherokee 180 from Old Tampa Bay. Photo courtesy Anthony Marsh.
Marsh is not sure if he remembered to buckle up—he often loosened his seatbelts in flight—and the engine stopped as he was starting the pre-landing checklist. He is sure he neglected one step in the pre-ditch checklist: cracking the door open, an omission that nearly cost him his life. Aiming for the inky blackness where he knew the water must be, he also opted not to extend flaps, or turn on his landing light. He was struggling to come to grips with the reality of the moment. He did keep his radio on, in part because he needed to hear a human voice.
"You're scared when you're alone and you have no one to talk to," Marsh said.
In retrospect, the landing light and flaps might have been helpful, Marsh said. He slowed to about 70 knots on the final descent.
"I saw the water at the last second and I flared," Marsh said. The impact was tremendous. "It's unreal. It was an instant crash, white spray like a car wash … I went to meet that white spray with my face."
When he regained consciousness, "I realized I was upside-down in the water," his airplane sinking nose-down in about 15 feet of water. Water rose past his neck, and he was unable to take a deep breath before the "water came over my eyes."
He imagined he was about to drown, and thought of his mother, kids, girlfriend waiting in Clearwater, and fought to live. He began to kick and kick at the windshield, finally breaking a hole in the copilot's side large enough to pass through. As he escaped, he felt the airplane settling on top of him, and braced himself against the muddy bottom and pushed. Somehow, he managed to break free, and find the surface, beckoned by the lights from the nearby bridge.
The aileron and tip of the left wing were still above water, and he took refuge there. It was about 45 minutes before the rescue boat arrived, long enough that even the roughly 60-degree water chilled him to the bone.
"I was hypothermic when they came to get me," Marsh said. Though bruised and cut from the sharp edges of the Plexiglas, he was alive. Undeterred by the harrowing event, Marsh said he plans to fly again.
After spending four hours in a local hospital, he returned to the bridge to meet the salvage crew he had summoned to retrieve his wrecked Cherokee, and one final lesson: It does not pay to allow insurance to lapse.
Marsh said he had reasoned the old airframe was not worth enough to justify a $700 premium, but lost thousands of dollars in electronics and other belongings inside, and had to pay $1,300 to have the airplane—and the cash he had brought with him—hauled out of the water.
"I paid them in wet $100 bills," Marsh said, noting he still had to write a check. "I wish I had that $700 insurance. You don't have to have insurance, but you should."
Marsh listed various lessons learned.
"You have to expect the unexpected," Marsh said. At night, over unfamiliar terrain (water, in this case), he said he should never have descended so early. "Dropping down to pattern altitude two-and-a-half to three miles out was a huge mistake."
Marsh is unsure why the engine died, but suspects a problem with the fuel pump. It is unclear to what extent the NTSB will investigate, he said.
He believes that not giving into the temptation of those bridges might have saved lives, including his own. The outcome could have been far worse: landing on concrete only to be run over by a truck.
"I lived," he said. "I lived."
In this south-facing view from Google Earth, the Courtney Campbell Causeway runs east-west at the bottom of the image, and the Bayside Bridge runs north-south. St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport is also shown. Marsh ditched just west of the Bayside Bridge. Google Earth image.
