A literature search at the National Library of Medicine site covered mon's conditions such as: rare types of tumors and a lymphedema. Here is one citation on the later diagnosis:
Ann Plast Surg. 2012 Jan;68(1):101-4.
Massive localized lymphedema: review of an emerging problem and report of a complex case in the mons pubis.
Brewer MB, Singh DP.
Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore, 21201, USA.
Massive localized lymphedema (MLL) is an emerging complication of the obesity epidemic. Caused by the obstruction of lymphatics, MLL presents as a giant swelling, with characteristic skin changes, and often lymphatic weeping. MLL has also been called "pseudosarcoma" because of its morphologic and pathologic similarity to sarcoma. Left untreated, MLL can degenerate into angiosarcoma. We present a case of MLL of the mons pubis in a 40-year-old man with a body mass index of 69. The literature is reviewed and an additional 40 cases of MLL are described. We found a female predominance of 1.6 to 1, an average weight of 421 lbs, and a 58% majority of cases in the thigh.
From what you have shared, your best bet is to try and be seen when the symptoms (especially the swelling) are most apparent (eg when the swelling is from the vulva down to the buttocks). Because I have not personally seen this condition, I can't add much to what I found on the medical literature search.
If you do get a definite diagnosis would you be so kind as to write us all back on this original post so I can find you. Amazingly, another woman with your exact symptoms will find your posts (via your clearly worded subject line) even several years hence. Your experience would be invaluable to her.
In Gratitude,
I wish I had a suggestion for you. I am just clueless at to what to do or say next for my own situation but I will post back if/when I find out what is wrong with me and maybe that will give you some insight on what to do next. I honestly don't know what is causing my issues. I do hope you find out what is wrong with you as well and I hope you can find someone to help you. Hang in there, sooner or later someone should be able to help you. At least that is what I keep telling myself.
Have a good weekend.
Shellcol2, if you are still a "boil" with extended borders you should find a general practice MD or clinic. Your condition may actually be a cellulitis, too.
In your specific case your symptoms must have been very severe to merit two vulvectomies. It appears that antibiotics temporarily help--but then the yeast ensues. It also sounds like you have a problem which chronic/recurring yeast between infections.
There is a subgroup of women who have chronic and recurrent yeast infections. It is important to document that these infections are truly candida (yeast). Other infections such as lactobacilli vaginitis can masquerade as yeast, but yeast medications will NOT provide any lasting relief. Certain dermatologic conditions of the vulva can have symptoms which mimic yeast (eg lichen sclerosus).
If a woman has proven recurrent yeast, by either vaginal fungal culture or wet mount preparation, then some additional testing can be done to see if a predisposing medical condition (eg diabetes, HIV) is the culprit. In your case I would suspect this has already been done.
Women with chronic yeast may be treated with a variety of options. A change of prescriptive yeast treatment may be tried. Preventative treatments may be used around the time of menses every month--if that is when you have the flares. Use of other medications which can predispose women to candida (eg steroids, chronic oral antibiotics, or even birth control pills) may need to be re-examined. Some healthcare providers will use treatments like vaginal boric acid capsules for either treatment or prevention in the cases of resistant vaginal yeast.
" Lifestyle" changes may be initiated.Lifestyle methods, which have been advocated for "yeast infection prevention," include: a diet low in refined sugars and simple carbohydrates, avoidance of tight jeans, use of cotton underwear, and others. There are few, if any, good research studies which demonstrate that these methods are helpful, but some women swear by them. There is even the suggestion that being the recipient of oral sex may predispose a woman to recurrent yeast (Reed, 2000).
With the over the counter creams you might be a better candidate for the seven day regimens rather than the three or one day versions. No matter which regimen you use you will receive the same total amount of active anti-fungal. But in a seven day regimen the dose will be less (hopefully less irritating) than getting the whole dose in one day. Another thing to evaluate is the inert ingredients used in each product. One product may have more irritating effects in the vehicle which is used to make the cream or gel or ovule.

Spring is a brilliant time in Pennsylvania, a time when the leaves and grass turn green, flowers bloom in every color and the world changes from day to day. One of the best things about living here are the four very distinct seasons and the way spring erupts into life.
Another bloom accompanies the Pennsylvania spring: Those orange construction cones, which litter the concrete landscape from one corner of the Susquehanna Valley to the next.
That is the curse of living in a place with four seasons. The window for PennDOT and local municipalities to start and finish road construction is very small: from about mid-March, if the weather cooperates, until about early November. That construction window happens to coincide with the busiest time of the year for driving.
When those two meet, it can be a standoff literally. One day a trip to work can take 20 minutes and the same trip on the same road can take twice that long the next day.
It is the nature of the beast, however. The harsh winter weather wreaks havoc on Keystone State roads and also keeps most people indoors at the same time. When those roads need fixed is when people come out of hibernation and want to travel the roads. Unfortunately that road is often lined with orange construction cones, detours and lane closed ahead signs.
Right now in the Susquehanna Valley there are several major construction projects going on at once. Downtown Mifflinburg looks like something out of Europe in the 1940s; the main thoroughfare into Selinsgrove is down to one lane as work is being done on a bridge; Route 11 coming into Northumberland is slowed during rush hour; getting in and out of Shamokin is an adventure with simultaneous work on Routes 61 and 225. There are also minor projects popping up everywhere, as well.

The oil bust during the eighties caused geologist and author Eric Wilder to pick-up a pen and renew his love for writing after 20 years.
Wilder began writing several short stories his freshman year in collage but 20 years passed before the writing bug returned. Since then Wilder has written 70 short stories and six novels. His latest novel is "Primal Creatures," the third book in his French Quarter mystery series.
Wilder is currently a resident in Edmond, but grew up in Louisiana so there is a Cajun influence in his writing. The inspiration behind "Primal Creatures" was the impact Wilder felt by the destruction of Hurricane Katrina.
"I wanted to write something about the south Louisiana wetlands where an area as large as a football field disappears into the Gulf of Mexico every day," Wilder said. "Primal Creatures takes the readers to a place they will likely never see in person. While the book is purely for entertainment and has no dire ecological message, it's my hope the readers will think fondly and respond favorably if they ever have a chance to make a positive impact on the area."
"Primal Creatures" is based 40 miles south of New Orleans, on Goose Island. It is about a heinous death that occurs on the island. A movie producer hires French Quarter's favorite sleuth to find out who killed the victim. Main character, Wyatt Thomas, will have his own life threatened and a deadly hurricane will occur.
"Primal Creatures" took Wilder seven months to write.
"Sometimes it takes longer to find your muse than to actually write the book once inspiration strikes," he said.
Wilder is a petroleum geologist in a two-man oil company. He and his business partner, a petroleum engineer and lawyer, are both published authors.
"On business trips, we often find ourselves discussing writing as much as oil and gas," Wilder said. "We've also both written screenplays."
Wilder is an entrepreneur and started his own publishing company called Gondwana Press LLC. Gondwana has published only one book by an author other than Wilder. "Lost on Route 66" is a collection of poems, essays and short stories about the fabled mother road, from a collection of 20 authors.
PRIMAL CREATURES is currently available on www.amazon.com, www.smashwords.com and www.barnesandnoble.com for $4.99. For more information on Wilder, visit www.ericwilder.com.

Overloaded project managers struggle to manage more projects as their organization grows and as spreadsheets, paper based systems and planning boards become no longer sufficient. Companies utilizing extensive project planning with scarce resources need simple, functional, fully integrated tools that help them manage more projects more effectively. These organizations need a tool that provides insight into planning tasks, resources and materials, task by task and across several projects. Moreover, project managers need to balance resource usage and project duration to comply with project objectives. A planner needs to identify conflicts and capacity issues as early as possible, and when a plan is modified, the planner needs to see the updated results immediately.AXtension Visual Project Planning helps project managers accurately manage more projects in less time and allows for maximized use of available resources. The result is more accurate project planning, delivering measurable results in a timely, cost-effective manner.AXtension Visual Project Planning is Certified for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, signifying that the solution has met Microsoft's highest standard for partner-developed software.

Man whose daughter was injured in crash back in jail
BY HEATHER TOMLINSON, CJ Staff Writer
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
Questions over drug test results have landed a local man who is facing charges stemming from a March accident that left him and his daughter injured back in jail.
But an attorney for 56-year-old James F. "Jimmy" Jasper said he's hopeful it was a technicality that can be resolved.
"Right now we are looking closely at the allegations in the record," said local attorney Scott Foster. "We hope this is nothing more than an error in the testing process or lab work.
"We hope to have Mr. Jasper reunited with his wife and daughter, who need him, as soon as possible," added Foster.
Jasper was arrested Thursday and was being held without bond in the Pulaski County Detention Center. The arrest came after Jasper allegedly tested positive for a class of drugs called benzodiazepines in three random drug tests.
The report of non-compliance, filed Wednesday, May 22, states that Jasper tested positive for benzodiazepines in drug screenings given on April 12, April 22, and May 8. The pre-trial division had not obtained any information confirming that Jasper had a prescription for benzodiazepines as of the report's filing.
"Pretrial was advised ... that hospital records were sequestered for the (April 12 and April 22) drug screens and that they believed that he was administered medication in the hospital that would cause him to test positive for benzodiazepines," stated the report. "However this has not been verified ..."
The report also states the levels of benzodiazepines found in Jasper's system are going down.
Benzodiazepines are a class of psychoactive drugs used to treat a variety of issues, such as back pain, insomnia and anxiety. Frequently-prescribed benzodiazepines include Klonopin, Xanax, and Valium.
Jasper spent several days at the University of Kentucky Medical Center in March recovering from a number of injuries. He and his daughter, Jaden Jasper, 12, were seriously injured on March 5 after Jimmy Jasper's vehicle ran off the road on Pumphouse Road and through a wooden fence, which crashed through the interior of the car and struck both Jaden and Jimmy.
Jimmy Jasper was struck and impaled by a fence plank in the shoulder area and also suffered a broken collarbone, broken clavicle, broken ribs, broken vertebrates, broken wrist, collapsed aorta, and a skull fracture. He spent several days in the hospital recovering from his injuries, and he has continued his recovery at home.
Jaden Jasper spent nearly a month in the hospital in Lexington. A majority of that was spent at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, and Jaden was moved to the Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Center for a few days before she returned home in early April.
Jaden Jasper suffered a depressed skull fracture, a broken eye socket, and a broken cheekbone. Doctors warned her family she may never be the same again, and she remained sedated for several days while medical experts debated what to do. But the young girl has exceeded expectations in her recovery.
Jasper was indicted in early April on one charge of first-degree assault in connection with the accident, and he was arrested Friday, April 5, by the Somerset Police Department.
Somerset Police claim Jasper's blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit of .08.
Jimmy Jasper has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
A trial date for Jimmy Jasper has been set for July 10, 2013.

Just because you don't agree with someone,

both would be quite heroic
Im no Ireland supporter, but this years WR class isnt very good. I do not think Keenan Allen is worthy of a #12 pick. CB is an option, but should we reach for depth at CB?
All the Mocks I've seen, (about 4 or 5) seem to have us all taking Keenan Allen... I've yet to see an OT.
however if History serves any purpose it will show you that Ireland isn't scared to take O-Lineman in the first round... Mock drafts before the start of free agency, combine and College workouts really only serves the purpose of where some guys are valued.
I'd be all for drating an OT, but a lot and I mean A LOT of things would have to happen before the draft and during the first 11 picks for this to happen.
currently the 19th ranked competitive eater in the world
If Ireland drafts a damn tackle first round oh my god I think I might go to jail lol
When Death Smiles Upon You the Infantryman smiles back
ain't gonna happen. but i'll laugh when the chiefs draft a tackle with the 1st pick.
That Jake long over Matt Ryan pick looks worse and worse as time goes on.
Thanks Jeff!

Niagara Gazette
— LOCKPORT -- A Buffalo teen, accused of helping to dispose of the body of a murdered 5-year-old girl in Niagara Falls, could be eligible for parole as soon as he arrives at state prison.
Tyler Best, 19, was sentenced to 1 1/3 to 4 years in state prison Friday in Niagara County Court as part of his plea deal.
He admitted last month that he helped his friend, John Freeman Jr., get rid of the body of Isabella Tennant by hiding it in a garbage tote.
Best has already served 13 months behind bars and that calculated with time off for good behavior could conceivably make him eligible for parole as soon as he arrives at state prison, said Best's attorney, James Faso.
The judge Friday also granted Best youthful offender status in the case, due to the fact he was 18 at the time of the crime.
He pled to charges of first-degree hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence in early August. Best could have faced a maximum prison term of seven years for his conviction.
Look for much more on this story later this afternoon.

Afternoon tea is a british institution and it is served with sandwiches, scones, tea bread, buns or – Sally Lunns. These are a specialty of Bath, in former times an elegant spa of the upper class, and they have a very interesting history.
The story of Sally Lunn
Legend has ist that Sally Lunn was a french Huguenot who was born as Solange Luyon; she had to leave her country about 1685 because of the savage prosecution of her religious group in France. She came to Bath where she worked at a baker's shop in the Lilliput Alley. There she introduced a traditional french tea bread which became very popular und was named after her. Because the english people can't spell Solange Luyon they changed her name into Sally Lunn.
This is the story how it is told by the museum of Bath which is located at the eldest house in Bath, right there in the Liliput Alley, where once Sally Lunn … But there's a hitch somewhere: No document was ever found to proof the existence of a woman named Solange Luyon or something alike at Bath. She isn't mentioned either in contemporary literature although the town at the Avon was a well known spa since the 16th century; in 1702 even the queen spent some time here. But it was not before the end of the 18th century that "Sally Lunn buns" are mentioned. In 1796 the newspaper Bath Chronicle printed the verses of a song dedicated to her, which were attributed to the baker William Dalmer who allegedly had bought the original recipe from her. One of eleven verses goes like this: "No more I heed the muffin's zest, the yeast cake or the bun. Sweet muse of pastry teach me how to make a Sally Lunn."
"Soleil et Lune"
There's another popular explanation: French refugees called a pastry "Soleil et Lune" what means "Sun and Moon" because ist was light underneath and golden on the surface. The calls of the english street sellers sounded like "Sally Lunn". But the french chef Marie-Antoine Carême published a recipe for "Solilemme" in 1815 which seems strange because if there was something called "Soleil et Lune" in France he should have known the correct name and spelling. Some historians are quite sure that there was a bun with this name at the Alsace region – but no one there remembers such a pastry. The english food historian Alan Davidson couldn't find any trace of it either although he did some extensive research.
Bath buns
To make the case even more complicated: There is also a pastry called Bath buns which made her appearance also during the 18th century, just a little bit earlier, and so some believe both buns are nearly the same. If you compare both buns it seems that they are right but some time ago they looked quite different than today. Bath buns were smaller and were originally covered with sugared caraway seeds. When Jane Austen who lived from 1801 till 1806 in Bath complained in a letter, she had spoiled her stomach with "Bath bunns", she spoke of this pastry. The Sally Lunns, allegedly already well known at her time, are not mentioned at all in her correspondence. Charles Dickens wrote about them in a short story but that was decades later.
Anyway there seem to be a direct relation to France because the Sally Lunn look very much like the french Brioche. Both pastries are light and fluffy and are eaten warm, often with butter. The scottish cookbook author Meg Dod wrote in 1820 as a matter of course that "Bath Buns" and "Bath Cakes" were made nearly in the same way as the "Brioche Cake" which was very popular in Paris.
A song for Sally Lunn
Let's have a look at the facts. The author of a kitchen guidebook titled Hone's Every Day Book explains in 1826: "The bun … called the Sally Lunn, originated with a young woman of that name in Bath, about 30 years ago. She first cried them … Dalmer, a respectable baker and musician, noticed her, bought a business, and made a song in behalf of Sally Lunn. This composition became the street favourite … and to this day the Sally Lunn cake, not unlike the hotcross bun in flavour, claims preeminence in all the cities in England." "Thirty years ago" are maybe not the exact date of the introduction but it seems impossible that the author missed the date for hundred years. And if the Sally Lunns did not exist before the end of the 18th century they have nothing to do with the Huguenots.
Probably we will never know who Sally Lunn really was – but she was not french. Lunn is a traditional english name and can be found very often in old church records, also the name "Sarah Lunn". And if you know that Sally was a very popular nickname for Sarah than you know that there were a lot of Sally Lunns in England. So maybe the museum in Bath should think again about the story of the huguenot baker …

The back of Parson's head is visible as he looks down on Isaac who is flanked by two thinkamancers, standing between the portal to Spacerock and Parson. Isaac holds his left hand to his chest as he apologizes to Parson. The thinkamancer that looks like Morticia Addams is demurely holding her left hand in front of her chest.

Although there's a pool deck overlooking the ocean, a lovely spa, and cutting-edge gym, the real stand-out here is the large rooms that start at 600 square feet (and each one has a full kitchenette and spacious marble bathroom). The ground floor restaurant and lounge includes a wrap-around porch for eating al fresco, and more casual dining can be had up on the pool deck. The hotel doesn't quite match its main competitor, the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale, but it's much more affordable and prices are very reasonable considering all you get for your money.
By far the sexiest of the grand dames lining Fort Lauderdale Beach, the stunning design and painstaking attention to detail here are enough to wow even the most jaded travelers; unique design elements are around every corner, like a clear staircase that takes you up through the pool. In addition, there are two pool decks, a happening scene at three bars, a steak restaurant, sleek rooms, and a Bliss Spa. However, the hotel's size means you can't count on personalized service.
The Hilton Fort Lauderdale, located on the Intracoastal Waterway, has beautiful marina views and is convenient for those who are docking their boats. It's a good value, with a large pool and modern, well-kept, contemporary rooms, but there's a downside -- getting to the beach requires a car (although the hotel provides a free shuttle service).
Right across from the beach, the Westin's strong suit is its wealth of amenities: a kids club, a Starbucks, an outdoor event space, and a well-known steakhouse, for starters. At the center of it all is a huge conference center with two ballrooms, the hotel's pride that was opened in late 2010 (which means the hotel is more focused on business travel as compared to its leisure-oriented sister down the road, Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel). The hotel re-opened in early 2010 after a major renovation that left it with a clean, modern design full of beachy accents.
Directly across from the beach and right next to the hipper W Fort Lauderdale, the Hilton is a large, 374-room hotel that's busy, clean, and comfortable, if somewhat predictable. Guests will find a big pool deck overlooking the ocean (though an outdoor pool bar is conspicuously absent), an adjacent restaurant with outdoor seating, a fitness center, a spa (including some outdoor massage huts), and a cafe on the ground floor (but this is the extent of the hotel's offerings, save for some meeting rooms). It's more affordable than many of its neighbors, but beware that the smallest rooms may not have balconies or even windows that open.
As at other Hyatt Places, the Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale's lobby is best described as "Starbucks chic," with warm colors and a prominent 24-hour cafe. Rooms are large and contemporary (if not quite stylish) and all have separate living areas and flat-screen TVs. The location is convenient for business travelers making a quick trip and people going on cruises leaving from Fort Everglades, and freebies (breakfast, Wi-Fi, self-parking) add value -- but it's not on the beach, unlike most Fort Lauderdale hotels.

56-year-old James Bradley Meinert, a resident of Virgin, Utah, was trimming trees from a hoist bucket about 25 feet above the ground when the equipment became entangled in high-power lines.
The accident occurred in Brookside, about 20 miles north of St. George.
Emergency personnel were slowed in their response both by the remoteness of the area and the fear that the tangled power lines were still alive with as much as 39,000 volts of electricity.

Woosie's Words: Didn't we have a lovely day, the day we went to Everton.... no
2:00pm Friday 14th February 2014 in Sport By Matt Woosnam
High on confidence following a successful transfer window and victory over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, Palace travelled to Merseyside in good spirits looking forward to a match which would surely prove to be a tight affair - but very much a winnable one.
Romelu Lukaku was out for the Toffees and they had no out and out striker available.
On the other hand Palace had a fully fit squad for the first time in eons.
Naturally then, the game was postponed.
After more than six hours on the coach, we reached Liverpool and found an overturned lorry blocking part of the road and two cars stopped on the side of the carriageway.
Already, we had passed an overturned lorry having turned off the M6, with the driver receiving treatment for potentially serious injuries at the side of the road.
All of these problems had been caused by the severe weather - so bad in fact, that a red weather warning had been in place for Merseyside that day, meaning potential for loss of life.
Nonetheless, the coaches had departed and as the weather deteriorated with extremely strong winds, my friends discussed the postponement of a match at Tranmere many moons ago.
Not for a minute did we expect to rock up to Goodison Park and have the match called off, given the decision to allow the coaches to depart and the status of Everton as a long term Premier League club.
Unfortunately, as we reached Liverpool, it was déjà vu as the announcement of postponement was relayed to the 60 fans on the coach.
My friends regaled me with their tale of reaching Tranmere only to find the game called off, but this was different.
It was a shambles.
People will suggest that no-one can be blamed for the postponement, which is true. But the decision of the police not to do so prior to the supporters leaving when the Met office had warned against travelling to the north west earlier that morning, was disappointing and infuriating.
I'd rather be alive and well and have travelled on an uncomfortable coach for 12 hours for essentially no purpose than have been injured by debris from buildings at the stadium but the weather was clearly dangerous and there should have been consideration for those travelling so far.
We won't mention the stupidity of the Premier League's fixture generator putting the game on in February and having Liverpool play Fulham on the same night…
Different this time round: There is every chance Palace could take something off Manchester United next weekend
A 12-hour coach journey for nothing has not dampened my enthusiasm to follow Palace over land and sea (and Brighton) and attentions will now turn to the mid-table clash with Manchester United a week on Saturday.
Given the shocking form of late from the Red Devils under David Moyes and Palace's excellent home record under Tony Pulis, there is a chance, a very real chance, that the Eagles might just nick a point or three from the once fearsome United.
If Tom Ince can replicate his excellent debut performance, Glenn Murray's return can continue to raise morale amongst the fans and Julian Speroni continue to perform heroics in the Palace goal as he chases a World Cup spot, then maybe, just maybe, we might be in for a treat at Selhurst Park.

Everton Bluenose says...
We were on our way to the match when we heard it was postponed, and it was the first time ever that I can say I was glad. There was debris everywhere, and with the terraced houses all around Goodison, It wouldn't have taken much to have caused injury, or a fatality. I was at Leicester City several years ago when an Everton fan was sadly killed by a falling billboard in high winds.
As you rightly point out, a 12 hour coach journey is far better than injury.
Look forward to playing you in the rearranged game, and hope you have a safe journey there and back!

A broken collarbone his sophomore year precluded David Dick from participating on the defensive side of ball as a junior. Heading into his senior season, he's campaigning to play on both sides of the ball.
"I would like to play safety or corner, but I'm not sure how that's going to end up," said Dick, who also holds down quarterback duties on the offensive side of the ball for Tahlequah.
"I'm doing some (persuading). I'd like to play on that side of the ball. I've told (Tahlequah) Coach (Brad) Gilbert about putting me in and getting more reps at it."
All of Dick's pandering may have paid off. With Tahlequah set to open its 2013 season on Sept. 6 against Fort Gibson, Gilbert admitted there's a chance Dick makes a few cameos on defense.
"We're working him at corner and safety," Gilbert said. "(Dick) is kind of in the same boat as Will (Carlile), where he could also see some time at wide receiver, too."
Speaking of Carlile, that's who Dick will share quarterback duties with for the second year in a row. To this point, Dick said, it's been a solid working relationship.
"We've become comfortable with it," Dick said. "We understand what Coach Gilbert is doing, and we've accepted it."
An added bonus for Dick this season will be the experience factor. Despite a 1-9 mark last season, Dick said his time on the field was invaluable.
"From last year to this year, I feel more confident on the field," he said. "I feel more ready and more knowledgeable about what to expect. Last year, getting my first chance to actually play varsity, the game was pretty fast and overwhelming, but now I feel more ready."
Echoing Dick's sentiments, Gilbert mentioned how the pace of the game has decreased for Dick.
"I can say this," Gilbert said, "from year one to year two at quarterback, everything slows down. Experience-wise, (Dick) started all 10 games last year, so he brings more experience and a certain mentality to that position."
Dicks' pre-play assessment of the defense has also improved, Gilbert said.
"He has a good knowledge of what we're doing on offense," Gilbert said. "He's also able to read coverage better."
As far as results, Dick foresees a season with more victories than in recent memory.
"It's all about staying focused," Dick said. "We came out last year winning the first half, and we just have to find a way to keep that momentum going. Just have to stay on top of opponents and kind of have no mercy. Just have to keep attacking."

Sean Kingston Opens Up About Jet Ski Accident, Open Heart Surgery
Sean Kingston almost lost his life when he was involved in a jet ski accident, but that wasn't his only close call. In a sit-down interview with MTV News at his home in Miami, the "Beautiful Girls" singer spoke out for the first time about the crash and undergoing open heart surgery.
On how he's doing now: "I'm doing good. I'm feeling great. I'm excited. I'm happy."
Since the surgeries, Kingston has shed 45 pounds and plans to lose 20 more. Watch him speak about the life-altering experience, performing with Nicki Minaj, and his recovery in the clips below.

Believe it or not, it's possible to learn clients' thoughts without even talking to them. (Pssst. It's possible to do the same with co-workers, too.) How? By paying attention to their body language, which is the gestures
and expressions that make up the unspoken portion of your interactions. For example, if a client says she gave the medication
every day, but she's blinking rapidly, crossing her arms, and tapping her foot, she might be fibbing. By analyzing her body
language, you can get at the truth—and reinforce the importance of administering the antibiotic.
Before you dismiss this idea, listen to this statistic: Just 14 percent of communication is through words, and 7 percent is
through intonation. The other 79 percent is body language. Think about it. We watch physical signs in pets. We know what it
means when dogs tuck their tails between their legs or roll over on their backs and put their paws in the air.
Even though body language involves spontaneous reactions, controlling and reading it aren't talents that come naturally. You
must work at it. This chart explains how to read eight different physical signals so you can start hearing what people aren't saying.

The presidential hopeful said there isn't an "ounce of truth" in the allegations, and will address them tomorrow in a press conference.
Herman Cain and the buzz of allegations surrounding him have been fodder for political shows every night since they first emerged. But with the former Godfather's Pizza CEO crossing the line into late night territory with an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," other late night hosts took the lead in skewering the White House hopeful.
Jon Stewart said that Cain's problem was that what the media has been reporting is right. Namely, that two large settlements were paid to two women to settle harassment cases initiated by Cain.

Narrow your search
Although the Sony Xperia M2 looks pretty slick, it's let down by its low resolution display and its old version of Android, which makes even its affordable price way too high. For much less money, you could snap up the Moto G or spend a little more and pick up the older Xperia Z with its full HD display and waterproof design.
Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. If you're looking for both style and substance from a phone, you've come to the right place.
While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LTE -- particularly if you've ever lost a gadget through water damage.
The company says that the devices will run KitKat as standard and include some updates to native apps.
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
Pricing not available
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Pricing not available
Check out our video review of the Sony Xperia M2. It's an affordable Android phone with a 4.8-inch display, quad-core processor and 8-megapixel camera.
The device is available now on Sony's US online store for $700, instead of its $750 suggested retail price.
Surfacing in the run-up to the annual IFA trade show, it appears Sony may push its next-gen flagship out the door a few months early.
Waterproof, a sharp display, and 4G LTE: and now it'll be in the US, with pre-orders starting tomorrow.

|Toys For Tots Promotion Returns Friday
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - The UNCW women's basketball program continues its long tradition of supporting the United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots foundation by providing discounted ticket prices for Friday's game against Tulane.
As part of the promotion, fans that bring a new, unwrapped toy may purchase a $3 ticket to the women's game against the Green Wave Friday at 7 p.m.
Toys for Tots was started in 1947 by Major William L. Hendricks of the United States Marine Corps Reserve. The Marine Corps adopted the program the following year and turned it into a nationwide campaign.
The mission is to collect toys during the months of October, November, and December, and distribute them to needy children in the community. The objective is to bring the joy of Christmas to America's needy children.
Fans can bring their toys to Trask Coliseum, where representatives from the Toys for Tots foundation will hand out vouchers for all donations. The vouchers can then be redeemed at the ticket window for a discounted ticket to the game.

More parishes targeted to close by Archdiocese
There they go again. The Archdiocese of Indianapolis is closing 12 churches in the Batesville Deanery in Indiana — closing or merging. A comment from Mary Jo DuvaIl's article in the Criterion (the Indianapolis Archdiocese Catholic newspaper): "A parish is more than a group of people attending Mass. It is a family helping each other in times of joy and sorrow."
Have these parishes been given a choice? Have they been given an opportunity to raise the money needed to keep their parishes open? The Archdiocese of Indianapolis is giving the churches in the Batesville Deanery only 60 days until closing. Batesville was told they are "not allowed" to fight the closing of these churches. Not like the four churches in the Terre Haute area.
The Archdiocese calls the closing of the churches "connected in the spirit" and says it will help churches better carry out their mission (reaching only those that can or will attend the large churches, abandoning the small, quiet, faith-filled parishes that serve our more rural areas.)
Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin states the goal of the process is to help parishes "discern where God is leading the Church in Central and Southern Indiana and to discuss how the Archdiocese of Indianapolis should change its structure in order to carry out its mission today and in the future."
What goals and missions are being fulfilled by the closing of these parishes? There a number of parishes that are similar in size or smaller than the parishes being closed. What does the future hold for these parishes and, more importantly, for the parishioners involved?
More and more the Archdiocese is putting its resources into the large parishes and schools and seeming to ignore the smaller ones. Are the needs of parishioners of smaller parishes less important than the needs of those attending larger churches? It would appear so. This is clearly a business decision, not one based on what is best for the people. Decisions are made from the top down, obviously the top being more important.
I can only imagine how much money will be required to build the new churches that are planned and how much people will be asked to pledge. It seems the Archdiocese will profit from the closures in two ways. Since the properties are owned by the Archdiocese, not by the people who helped build and support them over the years, the monies from sales will go to Indianapolis. When the two new churches are built, money will have to be borrowed from the Archdiocese and paid back with interest from the same people who just had their churches taken away.
Myself and other parishioners I have talked to from closed parishes have found different ways with their weekly givings. I've found that Boys Town, Riley Hospital, St. Jude Children's Hospital and the local food bank are very thankful for our gifts. The group making these decisions thinks these closings will bring in more money? It has only served to disillusion the many parishioners who then send their dollars elsewhere.
I guess all this commotion has had a least one positive outcome. We, the parishioners of Holy Rosary Parish in Seelyville, have come to realize, even more, how much we love being a part of a small parish. Small in size, big in faith. Faith in Our Lord, faith in each other.
As Friends of Holy Rosary, we feel so strongly about keeping our small church that we have raised money to help maintain the property and to hire a Vatican lawyer to defend us against closure. Our parishioners continue to meet weekly to pray the rosary. Our eyes have been opened to the distress within the Church across the nation and of the importance of our faith; in large boisterous churches as well as small quiet ones.
Each one has a place in our faith lives. Each separate, yet one. We are many parts, we are all one body.
— Bernard J. Bray

We learn "stand your ground" at home, in elementary school, in middle school, in high school, from watching television, documentaries, movies, reading books and from reading philosophical and legal doctrines on property and life ownership rights. Yes, "stand your ground" is more than a violent reaction and more than "might" makes "right."
First of all "stand your ground" defines that physical violence and force may not be initiated by anyone or against anyone. The ultimate value of human life in society clearly defines this as a fundamental and philosophical necessity.
Secondly, "stand your ground" expresses, defines and sanctions one's right to life as the source of all rights. That man's right to his life without force or physical violence is fundamentally required by his own nature for his own survival.
Thirdly, "stand your ground" defends the morality and moral principle of man's self-defense from physical compulsion, coercion, violence, force or interference by other men.
"Stand your ground" is every man's right and moral duty of self-defense against those initiating physical violence or harmful force against him. The moral and legal purpose of our government is the protection of a man's rights to his own life and property against violent or physical harm from others.

Agency took time for special care
My husband and I would like to give a shout out to Help At Home health care agency. They provide in-home services for our brother.
Last week during the heat wave they called to make sure he had access to AC, water and food. It is good to know that they care enough about their clients to call and check on them during extreme weather conditions.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Sonora coach looks to reload, not rebuild
Most of 2011-12 starters graduated
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Even though the Sonora High School football team lost eight starters on both sides of the ball from last season's 12-1 team, first-year head coach Craten Phillips says the new-look Broncos have plenty of players ready to step up to the challenge in 2012.
After guiding Garrison to the Class 1A Division I state semifinals the past two years, Phillips takes over for former Sonora head coach David Sine, who accepted a job at 3A Columbus.
The Broncos enjoyed a magical ride during the 2011 season, making it to the Class 2A quarterfinals, where they lost to eventual state champion Refugio.
Sonora has to replace a slew of All-West Texas players, including quarterback Clayton Parks, wide receiver Word Hudson, tight end Cadesman Pope, offensive lineman Kyle Patlan, defensive backs Dallas Payne and Imoni Cross, and running back/linebacker Zach Badeaux.
Senior defensive lineman Damon Evans, Texas Football Magazine's Preseason Defensive MVP for District 3-2A Division II, is the only All-West Texas player who is back for the Broncos.
But Phillips, who had a 40-18 record in five seasons at Garrison, including a 34-6 mark the past three years and three straight playoff trips, feels confident about the team he's inheriting.
Sonora has a proud tradition of excellence and Phillips wants that to continue.
"It's pretty awesome to be a part of the 'Bronco Nation' as they call it around here," Phillips said. "The expectations are really high, I think which helps the kids to work hard and know they have something that they're working for. They want to be a part of something special, too."
Despite the hit from graduation, Phillips is thinking of it more as reloading instead of rebuilding.
"You like to think of it in that mentality," Phillips said. "Mentally, you're reloading with kids that expect to win and expect to play well. But we do have a vast lack of experience going into this year and we're going to have some growing pains. We've got a lot of learning to do yet."
In addition to Evans, the Broncos will rely heavily on defensive lineman Sam Powers and linebackers Chance Campbell and Elijah Cross to anchor the defense.
"Those guys really get after it," Phillips said. "They're not huge, but they're strong and they really have a nose for the ball and a willingness to get there."
Phillips said the offensive line should be formidable this season, with players like Kade Wimberley, Blake Esparza, Michael Sanchez and Lino Villanueva in the mix.
"I think we're really going to be able to depend on them. And as they get together and really start clicking, I think you're going to see the explosiveness of the offense," Phillips said.
Offensively, Phillips says quarterback Michael Rollett is "doing a great job" taking over as the starting signal caller. He expects senior receiver Hagen Kennedy to be a big playmaker, too.
At running back, Phillips says he has a stable of quality runners in Cross, Evans, and Campbell, in addition to Brett Castillo, Darian Lopez and Sid Anderson.
"We've got a really good group of kids where you probably won't see one feature back getting the ball 30 times a game," Phillips said. "It'll be spread around and they'll be hungry for those carries, and when they get them I think they'll take care of it."
Texas Football projects Sonora to win the 3-2A Division II title, followed by Crane, Alpine, Coahoma, Stanton and Reagan County.
Phillips expects the district race to be a week-to-week battle.
"Most of the district has a lot of returning players, definitely more so than we do," he said. "I think it's a deal where we're going to have to continue to improve every week and don't count on gimmes. Everybody's going to come to play, and they'll get up to play Sonora."
Sonora opens the season next Friday at home against Comfort. The Broncos begin district play by hosting Alpine on Oct. 12.

Joy Martinez, MBA'10
Marketing Automation Manager
Start the conversation with a WMU MBA admissions advisor.
Pursuing your MBA is one of the most important decisions you will make; it is an investment in yourself and in your future. Take your career to the next level with a top-rated MBA program that fits your busy schedule?
If your career is not taking you in the right direction, or moving fast enough, create your own opportunities by building a WMU MBA curriculum that is distinctly suited to your career goals. The nationally ranked Western Michigan University MBA Program gives you the power to design your own future with the right blend of courses, project experience, international opportunities, research projects and independent study options.
As a leading provider of MBA education, WMU's Haworth College of Business' MBA program has assisted working professionals with honing business skills and advancing their careers while maintaining work and life balance since 1961. Whether you are a current business leader or an aspiring leader seeking a competitive edge, the WMU evening MBA program will help you gain and sustain a distinct advantage.
Elevate your career to the next level with an evening MBA from Western Michigan University. As a WMU MBA student you develop invaluable skills that transform your potential into results. The program prepares you for your role as a vital team member who uses real-world business knowledge to lead and make a difference. WMU's Haworth College of Business MBA Career Services team builds on these skills through the use of assessments that help you know yourself, and research and education techniques that lead to knowledge of your market and expertise in marketing yourself…so that you can achieve the highest level of career success.
Increase your earning potential
The decision to earn an MBA is a big one, both in terms of time and money. It is important to consider whether you will get enough return on your investment (ROI) to make the sacrifice worth it. ROI can be measured in many ways—new career options, a sense of security, the value of the network, compensation and more.
The Graduate Management Admission Council surveys alumni from graduate management programs (including WMU's MBA program) annually. The January 2012 report shows a stellar ROI, finding that graduates recouped one-third of the financial investment in their degree within the first year after graduation, and 100 percent four years out. While there's no guarantee many students experience substantial salary and bonus increases as a result of the program.
Explore an interactive graphic with data from the survey (requires Flash).
When you ask WMU MBA alumni if they earned a worthwhile return on their investment, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" However, ROI is not measured only in dollars and cents. Alumni tell us:
According to the Fall 2011 Semester End Career Center report:
MBA courses are taught by leading Ph.D. faculty with industry experience who are engaged in international research and the support of regional business activities. Ongoing faculty research activities and strong community business connections ensure that students receive the latest information on business topics and also have access to a strong network of business connections. The expertise that MBA students bring to the classroom results in engaging classroom discussions and interactions that assist students in developing a strong network of professional contacts.
WMU MBA students explore their goals with vigor and faculty are right there with them—every step of the way. Industry experts serve as guest lecturers, bringing relevant business practices and research projects to WMU MBA students.
Adept at research and instruction, WMU's faculty provide a transformative learning experience. WMU MBA faculty embrace cross disciplinary learning practices that encourage the solving of real-world problems and envisioning of cutting-edge research questions, application of new ideas to conventional teaching methods and business models, taking risks, and nurturing these same characteristics in their students. The result: students who gain new knowledge, know how to think critically and solve complex problems, make bold decisions, and implement cutting edge business practices.

Brett Favre's second and perhaps final visit to Lambeau Field as a visiting player drew the highest-ever ratings for NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
The Packers-Vikings matchup, won by Green Bay 28-24, was seen by 25.7 million viewers and got a 15.4 rating, according to the network. Favre's Vikings had a chance to win it in the final minutes, but a catch by WR Percy Harvin that was ruled a TD was overturned by a video replay that showed Harvin's foot landing out of bounds.
This has been a good year for NBC, with three of the five highest-rated broadcasts in SNF history airing on the network in the season's first seven weeks. Cowboys-Redskins in Week One drew 25.3 million viewers, second best all-time, and Manning Bowl II (Giants-Colts) had 23.1 million in Week Two.
The way we see it
With all the drama surrounding Favre, the Vikings and the Packers, it is no surprise this game was ratings gold for NBC. The next few Sunday-night tilts — Steelers-Saints, Cowboys-Packers, Patriots-Steelers and Giants-Eagles — also should draw mega-sized ratings.

Ok... after watching Anthony Bourdain's latest episode - Emilia Romagna. Now I'm on the search for Culatello - the king of salumi...
Has anyone found any local salumeria that has anything like this or anything close? I see that Armandino Batali - Salumi in Seattle has it but looking for something in the Bay....
From the menu pages menu at Perbacco. Call to check on availability.
Salame Cotto D'asti / Culatello / Lardo Reale / Salam 'Dla Duja / Bresaola
Capicollo Arrosto slow roasted pork shoulder / sancrau and apple purée / culatello / pork jus
Also seen Ristobar.
Culatello: Salumeria Biellese the most prized pork product in italy is not prosciutto, it is culatello. due to the extremely long and precise aging process, the culatello reigns over all. the fillet of the pig's thigh is cured for over a year and finishes looking like an oversized egg. inspired from the culatellos of emilia-romagna.
Adesso has culatto (I'm not sure what the difference is) and several other Emilian salumi.
It is on the current menu at Perbacco.
re: Robert Lauriston
re: Robert Lauriston
When I ordered it at Adesso a while back the menu said "culatello - dry cured top round," and it was definitely pork. The change could be a typo or they might have changed the name to reflect some variation on the traditional culatello cut, which doesn't correspond to any American cut:
So glad you posted. I saw the AB No Reservations show on Emilia Romagna and thought the same thing: Where can I buy culatello?
Please also see this website, where you can order the Biellese culatello:
re: maria lorraine
Apparently Dean & Deluca carried it a one time> Have you checked at your local D and D?
Salumi ships.
re: maria lorraine
Supplies are limited so it comes and goes. AG Ferrari has had it. Belcampo supposedly will have it.
There was a flurry of interest in it a few years ago. I think maybe it has failed to catch on (e.g. La Quercia apparently stopped making it) because it's (intentionally) very delicate and mild compared with, say, jamon Iberico, which costs about the same.
re: maria lorraine
Biellese's own site has a "where to buy" list. Closest local retailer on that list is Corti Bros. in Sacramento. It also lists Italfoods, which is a distributor. They could maybe point you to local retailers and restaurants they supply. http://www.italfoodsinc.com/contact_u...
Ok.. my bourdain culatello journey took me to the big apple where I found Culatello di Zibello imported (picture below) at Salumeria Rosi Parmacotto on the upper west side (283 Amsterdam)... there was a domestic which was $32/lb vs the imported Culatello which as $100/lb.... I chose the imported one which was highly recommended, it was from Emilia - Romagna...
It was everything that I expected and then some... great to know that Salumeria Rosi also sells on line, although it's not on their website....
Also to my surprise I found some great balsamic vinegar from Eataly in NYC (villa manodori Aceto balsamico) (not certified like the ones on Bourdain's . around $45 it was great when I dripped it on grana padano cheese...!

A local art gallery combines the love of art you put on the walls and art you wear on your body.
It's the Art and Soul Tattoo and Gallery in New Glarus.
There are no dark walls or tacky neon lights here.
It is more than just a tattoo parlor. It does feature art for your body, but what catches your eye when you walk in is the unique art and jewelry. The owners wanted to combine their love of tattoos with interesting made-in-Wisconsin goods.
Visitors to the gallery will be able to see someone getting a tattoo.
They have set up a space right by the front window, which is light and airy.
They're hoping to take away the fear and change the perception of what its like to get a tattoo.
