Indiana cardsharp one of few men to escape Titanic
Charles Romaine's life appeared as fascinating as it was ironic. He survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 only to get struck and killed by a New York cab a block from his home 10 years later.
Visitors drawn to town where Titanic's dead are buried
This is a place that has a deep connection to the tragedy. Halifax is 700 miles west of the spot where the ocean liner hit an iceberg; the ships bringing bodies back to land arrived starting late in April.
Titanic replica sets sail ... in a pond
A 6-foot-long model of the Titanic – built on a scale of 1 to 144 of the original ocean liner -- is not just a showboat. With a custom-built rudder, propellers and remote control, it's made to sail, all the while looking like its namesake, down to the tiniest detail.
Includes video.
Great-granddaughter: Trip was ill-fated from the start
Fran Reynolds never met her great-grandparents. But, chances are, she knows far more about them then the average great-granddaughter. That's because Samuel Beard Risien and his second wife, Emma Jane, died aboard the Titanic 100 years ago this week.
Titanic museums to mark anniversary of sinking
Titanic museums in the Smoky Mountains and Branson, Mo., have told the ship's story to 7 million visitors in the past six years. Now the attractions are marking the Titanic centennial by sponsoring a Coast Guard cutter to take 1.5 million rose petals to the North Atlantic site where the ship sank 100 years ago.
Sisters break silence about family connection to Titanic
Valerie Anewalt and Orian Greene are distinctive descendants of the Titanic. Two family members survived and two died aboard the ocean liner that sank off the coast of Newfoundland 100 years ago.
Includes Video
Matriarch's survival story inspires Pa. family
A Pennsylvania woman finds strength in the story of her great-grandmother, a Lebanese immigrant who survived the sinking of the Titanic aboard one of the last lifeboats to leave the ship, after being pulled to safety by "finely dressed" first-class passengers.
Belfast draws tourists to site where doomed ship was built
Belfast's impressive new tourist attraction — the 100-million pound ($160 million, €120 million) Titanic Belfast visitor center — offers a loving portrait of the excitement, ambition and opulence surrounding the doomed trans-Atlantic liner.
Teacher takes cruise re-enacting Titanic voyage
Kristi Athey says she won't be able to stop the tears when she arrives at the watery gravesite in the North Atlantic where the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank a century ago. "It's just so sad," said Athey, 47, a fourth-grade Maryland social studies teacher who has had a lifelong fascination with the Titanic. "I know I will be a mess."
Epic Titanic film gets 3-D treatment
Fifteen years, 11 Academy Awards and $1.84 billion at the worldwide box office later, James Cameron is re-launching "Titanic" in a 3-D version whose new earnings will close the gap on the film that eventually surpassed it as contemporary Hollywood's top-grossing flick. That would be Cameron's sci-fi epic "Avatar," with $2.8 billion.

By Doug Ferguson
The Associated Press
KAPALUA, Hawaii — David Duval spent his first full season of professional golf in the minor leagues, finishing No. 8 on what was then the Nike Tour money list to earn his PGA Tour card. Nearly 20 years later, after a career in which he has won a major, a PGA Tour money title and was No. 1 in the world, Duval is willing to go back.
Duval still doesn't know where he will start his 2013 season, but he figures it will be a year like no other. Duval's only status is as a past champion. His only mission is to start his season next year in Hawaii, whether that's the Tournament of Champions or the Sony Open with full status.
"My wife is excited, I'm excited," Duval said over the weekend. "It's going to be a different year with me the way things have changed for exemptions. I've made it clear that this year is about getting healthy and getting status."
Duval has endured a number of injuries, the latest a broken toe that kept him from going back to Q-school. He did not return until the Father-Son Challenge last month.
Most tournaments have had their unrestricted sponsor exemptions cut in half to two because the tour is trying to create space for players in a short season.
Duval was disappointed to learn Monday he had been turned down for an exemption to the Humana Challenge, where he delivered one of the most famous moments in tournament history when he shot 59 on the final day to win what was then the Bob Hope Classic. He remains hopeful to get an exemption for Torrey Pines, though he is not standing on the street corner holding out his hat.
"If I have to go play somewhere, I'll go to the Web.com Tour, too," Duval said. "I'd like to get in that four-week series at the end of the year."
Working vacation: Most players head to Augusta National in the weeks before the Masters. Brandt Snedeker is planning ahead. He's going to Merion.
Snedeker said he has a friend who is a member at Merion and has been trying to line up a golf trip for some time, so this seemed like a good year with Merion hosting the U.S. Open for the first time since 1981.
"I've just got a trip with some guys, going up there and play, just a way to get up and see the golf course so I'm not shocked when I get to the U.S. Open," Snedeker said. "Merion is not a bomber's paradise. I think they are set up for guys like me who dink it around and keep it in play and don't do anything stupid."
The plan is to go at the end of March, but it's possible Snedeker might wait until after the Masters. He'll also get in a round at Pine Valley while in the neighborhood.
"We set it up as a way to go up there and have some fun, and also a way for me to get some work done," he said. "So it worked out great. It's a rough trip, but somebody has got to do it."

Daily Star
---- —
I have always been a fan of magazines. When I was younger, not even quite a "tween" as most call it today, I would steal my older sister's magazines out of the mail and read them cover to cover, examining every detail.
Among the magazines I hoarded from my sister on a monthly basis included Seventeen and CosmoGirl!.
I found everything in these publications so fascinating, from the articles on how to dress for your shape, the completely accurate quizzes that tell you things like "What kind of friend are you?," the section where girls write in their most embarrassing moments, and even the articles that I didn't really understand yet.
Sometimes, say if I were really bored or desperate, I would pick up one of the trashier magazines, such as J-14 or Tiger Beat. OK, I would read these because, like any other girl my age, I admired the celebrities that the staff shamelessly plastered all over the pages of these fine reads.
Looking back now, I often wonder not only why I found the magazines so irresistible, but why they're published in the first place. Until recently, when my mom finally made me clean out my bedroom before the new school year, sometimes I'd still find old BOP magazines wedged in between old books and school projects in my closet.
Honestly, to me, these superficial publications seem like a giant waste of money. The actual content on the page is either poorly written, all pictures, completely false, or most of the time, all three.
While I understand that these magazines simply serve as entertainment for young girls, I wonder why this is an acceptable form of entertainment for girls.
Yes, I did read these magazines on occasion when I could beg a "yes" from my mother, whose patience at times still astounds me, but for the most part, I stayed away from obsessing over boy bands and tween actors.
And when you really look at magazines such as Seventeen, which is known primarily for its fashion and beauty tips, as well as advice columns on how to get guys to like you, it's no wonder why girls become obsessed with superficial qualities.
This is why when I happened upon a little-known indie magazine called NYLON at my local supermarket newsstand, I was instantly enthralled. NYLON, its name coming from the abbreviations for New York and London, two cities synonymous for their overall cultural identities, is a super-magazine.
It is true that NYLON is primarily a fashion magazine, but what is so unique about it is that it shows you up-and-coming designers and brands, as well as different ways of wearing something you already have.
Among my favorite columns in NYLON is one called "Factory Girl" where the columnist, Dani Stahl, writes about different clothing articles and is fortunate enough to take tours of different facilities that specialize in that product. Some examples include the Levi's jeans factory, Reebok sneaker factory, and the most recent tour of Coach Leather, where she was able to design and make her very own Coach bag.
Every article in NYLON is impeccably written, whether it be a review of a new store in Brooklyn or an interview with the newest covergirl.
But another reason that I am such a big fan of NYLON is its utter originality in every aspect. Its layouts and page designs are attention-grabbing and whimsical, bold but not distracting. Not only are there pages upon pages of fashion, but there are whole sections devoted to indie music and movies, as well as lifestyle and culture pieces.
I really appreciate and respect NYLON because there, the people understand that just because we're teenage girls does not mean that boys and lip gloss are not all we care about. I even have a letter written to NYLON that they published to prove it.
So next time you're bored or simply looking for something to read, pick up NYLON. You definitely will not regret it.

NORMAN — Joe Sterr was in the grocery business before deciding that Norman needed a larger retail liquor store and he was the guy to build it. In 1976 Sterr opened the Spirit Shop at Main St. and Berry Rd. on real estate that had once been a private residence with a nearby service station. He has been in operation there ever since and is now partners in the enterprise with his son Matthew Sterr. The Spirit Shop remodeled and expanded two decades ago but this year they have just completed an even grander renovation and updating of the entire structure inside and out.
"We needed the room," Sterr said. "The store was getting to the point that it was so full of merchandise that you couldn't turn around."
The difference is dramatic. Once-narrow crowded aisles have been replaced by spacious walkways and attractively displayed shelves of merchandise. Inventory essentially hasn't increased, it's just spread out over more territory.
"We started out with 4,800 square feet and have not quite doubled the floor space," Sterr said.
Norman's Barret L. Williamson Architects was chosen to design the new structure with senior architect Alan Moring presiding. "They drew up plans and got everything approved by the city," Sterr said. "I want to salute the city because they were so much easier to work with now than they were 20 years ago."
Norman was quick to send code enforcement inspectors out and didn't overly complicate the regulatory process. Red Sun Construction Co. Inc. of Norman was the building contractor. Work began in Sept. 2012 and the finishing touches are being wrapped up now. The retail business remained open throughout the process.
"First thing Red Sun did was break out the old parking lot," Sterr said. "Then they poured the slab for the new portion of the store."

The Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization issued this statement in October following a series of Arlington County Board candidate debates. Click here to watch the Patch-Arlington Independent Media forum for county board candidates.
Recent publications suggest that Bus Rapid System would be superior to a Streetcar serving the transit needs of our area. The Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization takes this opportunity to reaffirm support for a modern Streetcar.
In July 2012, the Arlington County Board and Fairfax County Board chose a modern Streetcar as the preferred transit alternative in our corridor. This decision was correct and well informed.
The rationale in support of a BRT alternative has been exhaustively discussed during the many years of public process preceding the aforementioned decisions.
Among many other benefits, a modern streetcar system:
- Commits the land use and economic development for decades to come. The sense of permanency and the corresponding growth dynamics that rail based transportation conveys to investors and businesses cannot be matched by a BRT system.
- Serves important destinations that focuses on corridors, connectors and regional development nodes. By contrast, BRT would serve a constellation of ever changing destinations and routes, leaving the network design, scope and functionality at the whim of political and market changes.
- Offers superior passenger capacity and superior economies of scale in the network both on Columbia Pike and on top-capacity corridors (like Route 1) where streetcar trains outperform BRT.
- Provides superior comfort to passengers. Comfort is not an optional luxury. It is a critical parameter that determines the level of ridership.
- Improves traffic safety in mixed traffic by keeping the largest vehicles on predictable tracks free from random lane-changes, which, combined with the narrower width of streetcars improves overall flow in a congested corridor.
- Supports our community's goal to preserve affordable housing by having the proven potential to create enough real estate value to cross-subsidize committed affordable units.
The Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization applauds the Arlington County Board and the Fairfax County Board for upholding their commitment to the community's long standing vision for Columbia Pike. The decision has been made. It is time to move forward.

Michael Moore, director/writer/producer/star of the documentary "Capitalism: A Love Story," screened the film in Bellaire, Mich.
Good movies are another casualty of the economic meltdown, according to Michael Moore.
Hollywood isn't in the mood to roll the dice, because cash is in short supply, the portly director told Popeater. The man behind "Roger and Me," "Bowling for Columbine," Fahrenheit 911" and "Sicko" spoke after making his picks for the Sixth Annual Traverse City Film Festival.
Moore told critic Jane Boursaw the "Hollywood Machine" just isn't creating that many great films in this country.
"The money has really dried up since the crash," Moore said. "They only really want to spend money on sure bets. People don't want to take risks, so we're missing out on an American art form that could really speak to the country right now in profound ways."

Police are looking for burglars who took thousand of dollars worth of tools and equipment from a garage near Goddard.
Wichita Police Sgt. Bart Brunscheen says burglars forced their way into a garage in the 300 block of Wind Rows Lake Drive sometime Friday night or early Saturday morning.
Once inside, the thieves took a blue Snap-on roll-away toolbox filled with tools, a blue Miller welder, 2 Ricardo leather seats, and other miscellaneous tools. Loss is estimated at $25,000.
No arrests have been made. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Puget Sound Energy's Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Project, built in the late 1890s about 30 miles east of Seattle, is one of the Pacific Northwest's oldest hydropower facilities and home to the world's first hydroelectric plant built completely underground. The energy project's Snoqualmie Falls Park and its trails are open for day use year-round. The park is one of the region's most-visited tourist destinations. Map it.
Through early 2013 a major redevelopment project prevents us from offering public tours of our hydropower operations. During the construction, however, you may still view the beauty of the falls from the observation platforms at our newly enhanced Snoqualmie Falls Park. Watch the video below for a virtual tour of the historic Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Project.
The two-acre upper area of Snoqualmie Falls Park is open during the redevelopment project; in 2013 the park's lower trails and Snoqualmie River access areas will reopen to the public.

iDive offers both professional and amateur enthusiast videographers the possibility of managing video footage collections. iDive transforms your videos into a catalog that's easy and quick to put together and access.
Your movie collection is expanding (on memory card, hard drive, DVDs or even video cassette), but you don't know how to organize them? Don't lose those precious personal moments or your all important professional footage... let iDive take control! In a few clicks, iDive will automatically display your footage collection in thumbnails and/or one or more samples for each clip.
iDive offers a multitude of new functions for even faster and easier use.
iDive is the must-have tool for cataloging and organizing all your videos. iDive allows you to import any video file format that can be opened by QuickTime and keep track of your videos, CDs or DVDs. iMovie users will find a tool that lets them browse through all their projects and catalog clips captured in iMovie.
iDive integrates seamlessly with VideoPier (able to read video formats not supported by QuickTime) and is able to access files from VideoPier in order to catalog them.
iDive is the ideal cataloging solution for all your movie files as it features QuickTime import capabilities allowing you to keep track of all video files whether they come from a camcorder, are downloaded from the Internet, stored on a hard drive or from CD/DVD.
Now iDive is compatible with even more video formats such as MPEG2 or AVCHD
Just connect your camcorder to your Mac, launch iDive and a few clicks later you'll be capturing data directly from your camcorder into iDive's database. iDive scans tape after tape to build an index of your DV Library. iDive detects clip boundaries, extracts information (dates, time, format) and takes sample images from each clip at regular intervals. If you want, iDive can also record the whole clip or simply index your footage by taking sample frames in full resolution.
From the sample images, iDive now allows you to recapture the best moments from your video.Simply click on the images that you want to retain and iDive will search your video footage for the relevant footage. In this way, you can keep hold of the best moments and memories that are shared between family and friends.
With iDive, there's no need to look through your entire footage to see what's there. With a simple click, iDive can judge the nature, content and recording quality of your clips. Using Power Preview is a shortcut to faster and easier annotation of your footage, since it answers questions about your data.
Filter based searches using dates, names, places and events allows you to quickly identify your clips by their content. You can easily assign annotations to your clips using drag and drop technology.
- Improved organization and layout of the search window allows you to quickly search your clips using new tabs to indicate names, places and events. - You can now search your videos with even greater ease by using the iDive timeline. Each clip is represented by a bar on which you can visaulize the timeline by day, month or year. Zoom in on the timeline for a more precise search.- Keep your workspace under control - you can now view your video footage in the main window and even select different videos for viewing.
iDive is the ideal tool to export your footage to any QuickTime compatible format. It's possible to export your videos to QuickTime, iPod / iPhone, Apple TV but also to an iMovie event. iDive talks natively to Final Cut Pro via the export of clip lists, making it the ideal video logging companion. Make iDive your chosen tape repository and export selected clips to Final Cut Pro for recapture whenever you need them for a project. You can also export to iMovie®, Final Cut Express®, Avid® and iPhoto®....
Seamless integration with Avid, Final Cut and Turbo H264 formats

Esophageal cancer is cancer that occurs in the esophagus — a long, hollow tube that runs from your throat to your stomach. Your esophagus carries food you swallow to your stomach to be digested.
Esophageal cancer usually begins in the cells that line the inside of the esophagus. Esophageal cancer can occur anywhere along the esophagus, but in people in the United States, it occurs most often in the lower portion of the esophagus. More men than women get esophageal cancer.
Esophageal cancer isn't common in the United States. In other areas of the world, such as Asia and parts of Africa, esophageal cancer is much more common.

Storytelling Central to Separate, Related Lives
By Annette
Mourning Dove dressed as the heroine of her novel Cogewea, The Half-Blood. (Photograph by Lucullus McWhorter. Courtesy of Historical Photograph Collections, Washington State University Libraries.)
This woman is all about stories.
There's one that includes a dream vision. There's one about how she became interested in Native American literature. There's a story associated with what she'd like for an epitaph. And, I'm told, there are hilarious performances, done with a colleague, on the two women's jaundiced views of the 1960s and 70s.
"The power of stories is something I did not learn from my own culture," Brown said, looking up one afternoon from a currant scone and a cup of tea.
But now she believes, passionately, that stories are all people have to sustain themselves amidst spiritual, moral, physical and cultural dangers.
"In oral traditions, all stories--my story, your story, any narrative of an experience we have--are pieces of a process that maintains a cultural unfolding, an ongoing cultural unfolding," Brown said.
Her years of work on the stories of a turn-of-the-century Native American author have cast her as the foremost scholar on the topic and brought her the recognition of her colleagues. Last year, Brown was awarded the inaugural Western Region Phi Kappa Phi Scholar Award for her years of work on Mourning Dove.
When Brown received the award last year in Portland, she told stories--hers as well as Mourning Dove's--illustrating how closely the two have become intertwined.

We believe that our work speaks for itself. Take a look at our most recent work. We look forward to hearing how we can help you!
"If you are considering a new website or want to optimize social media but don't have time yourself - then you must contact Nu Expressions. They are the best. Brian created a new website for our company - Holly Tate Fine Catering - and it is absolutely beautiful! He was very creative in his approach and had limited input from me. Everyone is now raving about the sight and I am receiving more catering requests than ever. After the website was launched, I decided to have Nu Expressions manage my social media. As busy as I am with catering, I knew I would never use social media to its utmost advantage - but thanks to Brian and Jan - I am now doing just that. They post daily to facebook and come up with clever posts that have resulted in lots of "likes" for our business. Thank you Brian and Jan. Your work is phenomenal and I am forever grateful!"
Visit her Website by Holly Tate, Owner - Holly Tate Fine Catering
"Nu Expression is fabulous not only for all of your printing needs, but they are awesome at web design AND social media. We are overhauling our website and having them take charge of our social media also- facebook, twitter, and Pinterest. Our facebook page's weekly update saw 15 new likes, 17 new check-ins, an increase of 111.4% in people talking about us, and an increase of 101.9% of weekly total reach. You won't get a higher return in any other type of marketing- Nu Expression really knows what they're doing! They take the time to get to know you and your business on a personal level. I had a meeting just this morning with Brian and Jenni and they have great communication skills as well as superb designs. I've researched several of the websites they've designed and they're all trendy and easy to navigate. Do yourself and your business a favor and contact Nu Expression to take your business to the next level!."

"I own and operate a small dog food company, Happy Dog Food. I had a personal profile on facebook, and wanted to create a nice business page for Happy Dog Food but did not have the time or experience. I saw a post on facebook about the work that Brian was doing with NU Expression and gave him a call. We talked in length about what I thought I wanted but had no idea how to produce. So I left all that work up to him and his staff. Within a week or so, I had a brand new facebook page for my business and it looked great. They even set up a form for new customers to fill in and request free samples. I had 42 samples order in one day! I have been working with Brian and his team for quite awhile now, and had them upgrade my facebook business page when the new timeline came out and had them design my twitter page as well. They did a fabulous job, both pages look great and match. I recommend NU Expression to everyone who asks me who did our facebook and twitter pages. Great service and support."

"When I came to Nu expression in May of 2011 asking for help in developing a sports web site I soon realized that I had come to the right place. The staff of professionals quickly went to work to produce a top quality site with all of the bells and whistles. They have been very supportive since the inception of TriadSportsCoverage.com and are always there to answer any questions. Working with the staff at Nu expression is truly a "team" concept.

"Over the past seven months, I have entrusted the design of two separate business websites (as well as custom Facebook fanpages) to Nu expression and I could not possibly be more pleased with the services I've received. They have taken my creative vision and infused just the right amount of their own to produce two sites and social media platforms that I am so proud to have representing my brands. The design process was thorough and efficient, and the customer service was impeccable throughout the process (and even still – now that we're done)! The team at Nu Expression has continually surpassed my expectations and their attention to detail is second to none."

DERRY — The Upper Room was awarded a grant to help support the Tsienneto Road's center's teen parenting programs.
The Upper Room will receive $30,000 from the Alexander Eastman Foundation to specifically support the Teen Information for Parenting (TIPS) program.
TIPS is geared toward current or expectant parents 23 years old or younger. It is a support group and education program.
TIPS teaches its members important parenting and life skills such as how to avoid abuse and neglect, nutrition and healthy meal preparation, along with financial management skills and planning.
Young parents are also taught how to continue their schooling while caring for a child and how to handle family dynamics.
The program provides resources and other information to help young parents secure employment and housing. All services are free of charge.
"We are very honored to receive this grant from the Alexander Eastman Foundation," Upper Room executive director Kimberly Bavaro said. "These funds will go a long way in making sure our TIPS participants receive the knowledge and tools needed to be a great parent, and the resources to create happy and positive parent-child relationships."
The Alexander Eastman Foundation is a private grant-making organization serving the Greater Derry area. Bavaro said the grant money will be well spent.
"We thank the Alexander Eastman Foundation for their kind support and look forward to helping more young families in the new year," she said.
TIPS holds weekly meetings at the Upper Room on Tsienneto Road and also meets at members' schools, hosts summer trips, family outings and other special events for members.
To learn more about TIPS or any other Upper Room program, call 437-8477 or visit urteachers.org.

The flu has hit early and hard this season in Georgia. Nationwide, 41 out of 50 states are reporting widespread flu.
Flu season doesn't typically begin until February. According to Google Flu Trends, the current flu season in the Atlanta-area is "intense."
Anecdotally, one particular strain of flu going around metro-Atlanta seems to be rougher than usual: it lasts five to eight days, and has symptoms that include a high fever (between 101 and 105 in both adults and children), aches and pain in the legs and hips, a cough, sore throat and fatigue, followed by a few days of what seems like a cold, with swollen lymph nodes.
"While we can't say for certain how severe this season will be, we can say that a lot of people are getting sick with influenza and we are getting reports of severe illness and hospitalizations," said Dr. Joe Bresee, who is Chief of the Epidemiology and Prevention Branch in CDC's Influenza Division. " Reports of influenza-like-illness (ILI) are nearing what have been peak levels during moderately severe seasons."
Another bug that's going around is a 24-hour stomach bug, which includes vomiting and diarrhea.
If you feel that you're coming down with these symptoms, you can take over-the-counter medications like Relenza, or Tylenol Cold and Flu. A heating pad for the aches and pains does wonders, as does a humidifier for the cough. And don't forget to drink lots of water or tea.
Do what you can to lower that fever too, including cool baths, an over-the-counter fever reducer and cool rag.
It spreads via infected people coughing, sneezing or talking, though people can also get infected by touching something with the flu virus on it before touching their mouth, eyes or nose. If you don't feel good, stay home, because it's very contagious.
While around 5.5 percent of all doctor's visits in Georgia are for the flu-like symptoms, hospitals recommend that you do not go to the emergency room for them.
Fulton County Health Services continues to recommend influenza vaccination for people who have not yet been vaccinated this season and antiviral treatment as early as possible for people who get sick and are at high risk of flu complications.
Fulton County has six locations where residents can receive the flu vaccination. Citizens can visit one of these six health centers for the flu vaccine:
- Adamsville Regional Health Center-3700 Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. SW, Atlanta, 404-613-4215
- College Park Regional Health Center-1920 John E. Wesley Ave., College Park, 404-765-4155
- Lakewood Health Center - 1853 Jonesboro Rd., SE, Atlanta, 404-624-0626
- Neighborhood Union Health Center - 186 Sunset Ave., Atlanta, 404-612-4665
- Center for Health and Rehabilitation - 265 Boulevard, NE, Atlanta, 404-612-5835
- North Fulton Regional Health Center - 3155 Royal Drive, Alpharetta, 404-332-1834
Vaccines are available from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. through the Fulton County Department of Health and Wellness.
Residents can get the flu shot or the nasal mist (age 2 to 49 years) for $25. Visa and MasterCard (credit and debit), Medicaid, Cigna, United Health Care and cash are accepted forms of payment.
Fulton officials are warning citizens that people who do not get a flu vaccine are taking two significant risks - one, they are placing themselves at risk for influenza, including a potentially long and serious illness; and two, placing others, especially children ages 6 months and older, adults ages 50 and older and persons with chronic medical conditions at risk to develop serious complications. Fulton County Health Services encourages every healthy individual over the age of 6 months to get the flu vaccine.
For additional information about the flu and prevention, please log-on to www.fultoncountygahealth.org or www.flu.gov.
Flu shots are an inactivated vaccine made from killed virus, which means it's impossible to get the flu from the vaccine, according to Dr. Angela Rasmussen, an infectious disease expert.
There are currently three flu shots being produced in the U.S.: the regular (intramuscular) seasonal flu shot, a high-dose vaccine for people 65 and older, and an intradermal (injected into the skin) vaccine for people ages 18 to 64.
In addition, a nasal-spray flu vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses (which also do not cause the flu) is available to healthy people ages 2 to 49-years-old, except pregnant women.
The most common side effect from a flu shot is soreness at the injection site.
Patch reached out to Gwinnett Medical Center for their top tips on how to get through this intense flu season. Here's what Eve Early, manager of Infection Control at the hospital, recommended:
- Take time to get the flu vaccine. October to March is the official flu season. Everyone 6 months and older is encouraged to be vaccinated. Call ahead to check since shortages have been reported.
- Be alert to flu-like symptoms, such as coughing, sore throat, aches and fever. Stay home if you experience any of these symptoms. It's especially important to not visit the hospital.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. If a tissue isn't available, use the crease of your elbow to cover your mouth.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
- Wear a mask if you have the cold or flu to help prevent the spread.
Do you have your own tips for surviving flu season? Tell us in the comments section below.

I use visuals to tell stories, jokes and truths.
The Six Enemies of Greatness (and Happiness)
These six factors can erode the grandest of plans and the noblest of intentions. They can turn visionaries into paper-pushers and wide-eyed dreamers into shivering, weeping balls of regret. Beware!
1) Availability
We often settle for what's available, and what's available isn't always great. "Because it was there," is an okay reason to climb a mountain, but not a very good reason to take a job or a free sample at the supermarket.
2) Ignorance
If we don't know how to make something great, we simply won't. If we don't know that greatness is possible, we won't bother attempting it. All too often, we literally do not know any better than good enough.
3) Committees
Nothing destroys a good idea faster than a mandatory consensus. The lowest common denominator is never a high standard.
4) Comfort
Why pursue greatness when you've already got 324 channels and a recliner? Pass the dip and forget about your grand designs.
5) Momentum
If you've been doing what you're doing for years and it's not-so-great, you are in a rut. Many people refer to these ruts as careers.
6) Passivity
There's a difference between being agreeable and agreeing to everything. Trust the little internal voice that tells you, "this is a bad idea."
How To Be More Interesting (In 10 Simple Steps)
Nine Dangerous Things You Were Taught In School
7. Altruistic epithets that pander to corporate ideology and pretend to empower the common worker….
Brilliant article.
Jessica, I love your work. Now I hope you can convince the Forbes content management system people to get out of their style rut and on board with your use of graphics. The extra whitespace after each graphic, rather than before, tends to tie the graphic to the wrong topic. (Hence the orphan graphic at the bottom of the first page in this article.) Even better would be a 2-column look: topic paragraph to the right of the graphic.
I can see how this format is quite illustrative. Thanks for sharing.
Really? The generalizations is this article are pretty preposterous. If you are going to be a critic, pseudo-intellectual clap-trap won't do.
Thank you for saying it Mr. Bierker!!!
@eric — envious? really well written article — not pseudo-intellectual at all. would love to see your take on this. so easy to throw criticism out there — let's see what you can do, big guy.
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
– Albert Einstein.
But, what did he know.

Your points really resonated with me. A rut does not a career make could not be more true.
I generally find that the seventh enemy of greatness and happiness is boredom and its accompanying lethargy. There's nothing more energizing than a renewed sense of purpose; and sometimes searching for a new purpose can be just as rewarding as identifying the purpose itself.
as Doris explained I am stunned that any one able to profit $8151 in 4 weeks on the internet. have you read this website(Click on menu Home more information) http://goo.gl/7tFnk
as Martin said I am blown away that a mom can earn $4189 in 4 weeks on the internet. did you look at this site link (Click on menu Home more information) http://goo.gl/KNNGz
Absolutely Discussing
This is awesome. You have hit the nail on the head. Jim Collins (I think), said that good is the enemy of the great. You have illustrated this so well.
I agree, but I think Voltaire said "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good," and I also agree with that. Sometimes good is better than not doing anything.
Don't settle for the good, if better is on your doorstep
Well articulated.
Awareness of multiplicity leads to a potential for self-direction.
Very well articulated. A beaut sum up off years of experience in just 6 Simple heading.
nice article…. those are real enemies if our happiness in life… thanks for article….
That's A Like ;)
One thing more… If want to change your mood do see this !
A nice way to pen down the thoughts..
Most accurate depiction of a real life situation I am in. The current place I worked with have a culture of everyone using this excuse on any issue or problem that comes up.
"I don't know." After using the excuse, the person will not make any effort to learn or to take responsibility to do their job. Instead they pass the buck to the most capable guy or lucky person.
I believe as an employee it is everyone's duty to know the policies, rules and regulations. A company is formed like ant colony to function as an organic machine and move as one towards a common goal.
I have been told by my boss that Japanese culture is only to execute with majority consensus. My western style of executing when I deem is correct action not fit into the corporate culture even it brings better results. Generally, there is a great resistance to change.
Nice work Jennifer, your visuals reveal how the barnacles on the corporate cosmology take hold.
Good job, nice illustrations.

Craig Rivet's long, infuriating wait to contribute to the Sabres is finally set to end. The captain will be in the lineup tonight when Buffalo hosts the Anaheim Ducks in HSBC Arena.
Rivet hasn't played since Nov. 20, a span of 11 games. He's been in the lineup only five times since Oct. 26, missing two with the flu and an additional 16 because coach Lindy Ruff made the captain a healthy scratch.
"It's a good feeling that I'm going to get another opportunity to get back in and help this team, help this team get on the right track and get myself on the right track," said Rivet, who has been keeping in shape with intense on- and off-ice workouts. "It has not been a lot of fun, but it's going to help me in the long run. It's going to help me get back to where I want to be and where I know I can play.
"I'm excited to get back in here tonight. It's been awhile since I've played, but I'm excited. I'll keep things simple tonight and just play hard."
The full audio of Rivet's interview is available below.
Rivet will be joined in the comeback department by Nathan Gerbe. The left winger has been scratched in three straight games and will play alongside center Derek Roy and right wing Thomas Vanek.
"The last couple games offensively I thought they did some nice things," coach Lindy Ruff said. "We just need him to finish. He hasn't been able to finish. I think putting him back with Derek and Van will give him that opportunity again."
Forward Luke Adam has been summoned from minor-league Portland but will not play.
"Portland is shut down right now, so if we get somebody hurt we wouldn't have a player, so we've got another player here in case something happens," Ruff said.
Meanwhile, in the celebrity gossip department, goaltender Ryan Miller reluctantly confirmed that he became engaged to girlfriend Noureen DeWulf over the weekend.
"We're definitely happy," Miller said. "I'm a little surprised it got out there that quick, but we're happy, excited. She's an awesome person. I'm really happy, and we're just trying to enjoy the holiday season."

Not My Brother's Keeper
There are some secrets you keep, even from your brother. Exhibit A: a perfect location for a jump located somewhere within the vast, 300-square-kilometer backcountry rider's delight that is British Columbia's Pemberton Icecap. Located west of Whistler, north of Squamish and south of Pemberton, the Icecap is the sort of snowy expanse where you might not bump into anyone else at all, let alone your brother.
There was a time when the Pettit brothers-19-year-old Callum and 16-year-old Sean-were inseparable. This winter, in fact, marked the first time they'd spent more than four days apart. But more and more, they are going their separate ways: different sponsors, trips, film projects and overall trajectories. Such was the situation out on the Icecap one day this winter, when Callum was sessioning his "secret spot" with Dana Flahr and a Teton Gravity Research film crew. Or it was the situation, until Sean snowmobiled up with a crew of his own, from Matchstick Productions.

Admission to the Master's Degree program in Natural Resources and Environmental Management is based on a combination of undergraduate grade point average, Graduate Record Examination scores, and completed recommendation forms. Students whose native language is not English but who score a minimum of 550 on the PBT or 213 on the CBT in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) have no additional language requirements. Those students scoring below 550 or 213 on the CBT may retake the exam or enroll in special writing, speaking and listening courses offered by the English Department. The university's Center for International Programs is the starting point for students who are not U.S. citizens. They can be contacted by mail (SC 102, Ball State University, Muncie IN 47306, U.S.A. ) or on the web to obtain their application packet. The application is a two step process: 1. The applicant applies to the Graduate School for admission and submits one official transcript to the Graduate School. Online application forms for the Graduate School are available. A 2.75 (on 4.0 scale) GPA is required for regular admission (or 3.0 for last half of undergraduate course work). An appeal process with directed probationary study may be available for those not meeting minimum admission standards. Upon successful completion of the directed study, regular admission is granted. 2. The applicant also applies to the department by submitting the departmental admission form and GRE scores. Additionally, each student must arrange for at least two recommendation forms to be submitted by evaluators. Admission to both the Graduate School and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management is required. If you are accepted by the Graduate School and the department, and want to be considered for a graduate assistantship, indicate this interest to the graduate advisor. For other types of support you may write the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid for information (Lucina Hall, Room 245, Ball State University, Muncie, IN 47306 ) or visit their web site.
Students pursuing a Graduate Degree in Natural Resources and Environmental Management can develop customized programs based on their educational and employment objectives. Our students have obtained careers in a wide variety of governmental and private sector positions that require training in resource management and environmental science. Graduate students can choose from a M.S. or M.A. degree in Natural Resources and Environmental Management. Candidates for the M.A. and M.S. degrees have slightly different program requirements. Students enrolling in the M.A. degree program complete a Research Paper (RES 697) or Creative Project (CRPRJ 698) and supporting course work as determined by the graduate advisor whereas M.S. degree students take Thesis (THES 698) for 6 hours and supporting course work as determined by the thesis committee. Both programs require a minimum of 33 credit hours of course work, including Graduate Research Methodology (NREM 608) and Seminar (NREM 609).
All new M.S. and M.A. students must consult with the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management graduate advisor, Dr. James Eflin, before registering for courses. Students will make a degree choice (M.S. versus M.A.) soon after being admitted. For those students selecting the M.A. program, the departmental graduate advisor will continue to advise the student on courses and general requirements for the degree. For students selecting the M.S. degree program, a graduate committee (minimum of three faculty members, at least two from the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management) will be selected by the student with the approval of the departmental graduate advisor. The thesis advisor (a member of the graduate faculty) will serve as chair of the graduate committee. This committee, with advice from the departmental graduate advisor, will approve a course of study and the thesis topic. After admission by the Graduate School and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management, the following steps are recommended for students pursuing the M.A. or M.S.: 1. Contact Department Graduate Advisor before beginning a graduate program. Graduate Advisor approval of courses is required prior to registration each semester. 2. Decide upon the M.A. or M.S. degree. This decision may be changed at a later date. 3. During the last semester a student registers for credits to be included in the M.A. or M.S. program, an application for graduation must be filed at the Graduate Office (ideally early in the semester of expected graduation). * See the NREM Graduate Course Work link to view required and elective course options.

I was the least-likely person on the planet to be a tutor, but that's what I did one spring to help a friend finish up his English requirement so he could graduate. Cedric "CT" Thomas could run like the wind. I know that because I asked him what it felt like to run the 11-yard dash in under 10 seconds. He was from up in Alliquippa, Pa., on the Ohio River west of Pittsburgh. He told me that when he got going that fast, all he was really aware of was the air rushing past his ears.
He was struggling with his English II class just like I had struggled with both English I and II. I managed to pass both courses with Ds, and that was all I needed to move on to the next level. CT was concerned, and wanted to do the same thing. The English II required course had a research paper associated with it. When I had the course, I wrote about UFOs in the news, and believe now that I was very blessed to get a D. When I talked to the professor, he suggested that I help CT find an interesting topic to research. He told me that CT really needed to do well on the paper or he would have to repeat the course. It was a critical moment.
As I was walking away from Armstrong Hall after talking to the professor, I got an idea for a good paper that CT could bring some insights to. At that time, there was a movement in some literary circles to redact or enact an outright ban on certain works of Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) because the African American dialect he used in some of his works — including "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" — were insensitive to black people. Some literary scholars believed that the language should be censored or otherwise, sanitized so as not to offend.
I grew up in a farming community of southwestern Pennsylvania with only a few black people, but I knew from visiting Alliquippa to load out of the J&L Steel Plant there that most of the people I saw in town there were black. As I recall, it was a friendly place where people waved at truckers and little kids pumped their fists in the air to get me to sound my air horn. I always enjoyed going to Alliquippa because I knew my way in and out of the plant and I felt comfortable with the people.
Partially for that reason, and also because I had become friends with CT when I was driving campus bus, I talked to him about writing his research paper on the topic of the dialect that Twain used in "Huckleberry Finn." We went to the library and got analytical books about the characters Huck Finn and his aunt's slave, Jim, and CT read the novel. We discussed passages of dialect. He struggled to get started on his paper, but it was his paper — not mine. I hadn't even read it in its final form. I had written my paper about UFOs. He wrote about something significant, from a perspective that few professors at that time might get to see.
I knew when CT was supposed to turn his paper in, and the next time I saw him was also the last time I saw him. He had passed, and he was smiling that CT Thomas smile that anyone who knew him, knows all about. I remember him as just a happy guy. He went his way. I went mine, and never the twain shall meet, I guess. I just remember being the wrong person to tutor anyone, but I was happy that he made it through.
I was interviewed by a Sirius XM radio talk show host from Chicago about a month ago. The guy I talked with, Tim Ridley, had read my column about changing out a universal joint in Maryland in a story where I talked about the tools every trucker needed. As far as I know, the interview hasn't aired, and I think that might be because I could tell he thought I was exaggerating when I told him about cutting the elastic waistband out of my underwear to replace a broken spring on the throttle linkage on my freightliner. From the tone of his voice, I thought maybe he thought it was a tall tale.
Of course, Mark Twain was considered the master of the tall tale in American literature, and his story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," is considered a template for that genre. I re-read it when I thought about my elastic waistband story and smiled. There's dialect in that story that might be offensive to some people as well. The thing that makes Mark Twain so special is that there is a lot more going on in even his most simple stories than most people could imagine. Twain, or Clemens, suffered several life-altering events in his personal life, and a careful reader can see the pain beneath the plot of his stories. The reason that Twain's writing endures is because there is more going in his work than a casual glance might reveal.

Technical Papers and Presentations
Investigation of Hydraulic Fracture Re-Orientation Effects in Tight Gas Reservoirs
B. Hagemann[1], J. Wegner[1], L. Ganzer[1]
[1]Clausthal University of Technology, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany
In tight gas formations where the low matrix permeability prevents successful and economic production rates, hydraulic fracturing is required to produce a well at economic rates. As production from the well and its initial fracture declines, re-fracturing treatments are required to accelerate recovery. The orientation of the following hydraulic fracture depends on the actual stress-state of the ...
Aquifer Physics Modes for Hydrogeological Modeling – an Application of the COMSOL Physics Builder
E. Holzbecher[1]
[1]Georg-August Universität Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany
Although there are porous media and subsurface flow modes available in a toolbox of COMSOL Multiphysics®, some common requirements in hydrogeological models can not be easily accessed in the graphical user interface. Most crucially, there is no distinction between confined and unconfined situations for permeable layers, so called aquifers. Using the Physics Builder for such distinctions aquifer ...
Full Coupling of Flow, Thermal and Mechanical Effects in COMSOL Multiphysics® for Simulation of Enhanced Geothermal Reservoirs
D. Sijacic[1], P. Fokker[1]
[1]TNO, Utrecht, The Netherlands
The effective modeling of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) requires the coupling of geomechanics, fluid flow and thermal processes. An understanding of the complete system with these coupled processes is vital, not just for reservoir stimulation targeted at enhancing reservoir performance, but also for the understanding, prediction and prevention of induced seismicity. Thermal effects however ...
COMSOL 2D Simulation of Heavy Oil Recovery by Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage
I. I. Bogdanov, K. El Ganaoui, and A. M. Kamp
Centre Huile Lourde Ouvert et Expérimental (CHLOE), Pau, France
Multiphysics flexibility and computational performance of COMSOL gave us the idea to model SAGD (steam assisted gravity drainage), one of the popular thermal methods of oil recovery. The modeling is far from straightforward and requires solving a system of non-linear PDEs for thermal multiphase flow under conditions of thermodynamic (phase) equilibrium. This paper presents the main results of our ...

Why We Have Earthquakes in the Eastern United States
J. K. Costain[1]
[1]Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, USA
There are only two types of naturally-occurring earthquakes anywhere on the Earth: 1) those associated with the dynamics of plate tectonics and 2) those associated with the dynamics of the hydrologic cycle. The first type is characteristic of an INTERplate setting (like the San Andreas Fault). The second ("hydroseismicity") is characteristic of an INTRAplate setting (like the Virginia ...
CO2 Storage Trapping Mechanisms Quantification
A. Nardi[1], E. Abarca[1], F. Grandia[1], J. Molinero[1]
[1]Amphos 21, Barcelona, Spain
The capture and storage of CO2 in deep geological formations is one of the proposed solutions to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. CO2 is injected as a supercritical fluid deep below a confining geological formation that prevents its return to the atmosphere. In general, four trapping mechanisms are expected, which are of increasing importance through time: (1) structural, (2) residual ...
Coupling Multiphysics with Geochemistry: The COMSOL-PhreeqC Interface
A. Nardi[1], L. M. de Vries[1], P. Trinchero[1], A. Enrique Idiart [1], J. Molinero[1]
[1]Amphos 21, Barcelona, Spain
Phreeqc is a program for simulating chemical reactions and 1D transport processes in aqueous systems. Several couplings between conservative transport codes and PHREEQC already exist. The methodology used here is based on the operator splitting concept: the transport of the aqueous components and the chemical reactions are solved in two different steps. The Java interface uses the COMSOL Java ...

You may be familiar with the BB cream (or beauty or blemish balm) which has been marketed as an alternative to foundation. The consistency falls somewhere between a sheer moisturizer and foundation and has anti-aging benefits. Then, there was the CC or color correcting cream (Chanel has a popular one) that is supposed to pack in more anti-aging ingredients and have a bit more coverage. Now, wait for it--DD creams are coming!

According to a new report, DD creams (which stand for daily defense) target the foot and body with a more heavy duty texture. A self-tanning DD cream recently launched in the UK which means it won't be long until we see something similar in the States.
