A minivan fell off a tow truck and crashed into a Poplar Bluff home on Wednesday.
Dustin Pickard said he couldn't believe what he saw when he got home from work.
"I was worried about my kids," Pickard said.
There was a car being towed from his driveway but then, without any warning, it fell off the tow truck and ran into the house.
"As soon as we heard that crash we kind of got scared and jumped up," Amelia Pickard, his eight-year-old daughter said.
Pickard said he is just grateful everyone is safe and not hurt.
"We are going to get it fixed, but the one thing that couldn't be fixed was taken care," Pickard said.
He said he's spoken with the towing company and is waiting to hear back from the insurance company.

Great Quality
September 18, 2012
This is a great compact lantern for those minimalists. Since it's metal, it's of great quality but a bit on the heavy side. However, it looks stunning and really neat how it's so compact so less space to worry about. It's on the small side so keep in mind the lighting for the lantern won't be great. The best part, other than how great it looks, is that the flashlight is super bright. Good 2-in-1 package.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use
Ano Black, Ano Green and Ano Orange.

On line dating sites may have changed the way people look for love.. and the way scammers look for victims. Manhattan Beach P.D. says they have a man in custody who scammed at least eight women, one lost as much as $300,000.
Detectives are convinced there may be other victims. They call 52 year old James Bruce Rice a charmer. He described himself as a diamond broker. He owned nice cars and boats, but police say he financed his lifestyle by wooing, winning and then bilking women he met on online dating sites.
His scam? He gained women's trust, promised to marry them and then convinced them to invest in what police call his bogus investments like diamond dealing and catering. He used aliases including James Turner, Jimmy Turner and Jimmi Turner.
Sadly, this kind of scam has become pretty common.
When I was first assigned this story, I called Manhattan Beach PD, hoping to find a victim to tell her tale of woe. But MBPD said, no one wanted to talk. Who can blame her? She'd have to admit, she got taken in by this scam artist.
But online dating scams are so common, I already had a backup; not one of James Rice's victims but a woman who had had her own brush with a scam artist. Last year, she was brand new to the online dating scene. Her first connection was with a man who claimed to be retiring from the service and returning from Afghanistan. He wanted Sharon Hice to accept a lock box full of cash. She would owe the courier $30,000 but the money was supposedly in the box. She cut off contact with him but did hear from other men on the dating sites who had similar stories. She learned to avoid men who claimed to be diamond brokers, just like James Rice or deal in gold or oil.
Manhattan Beach PD says Rice's
victims live mostly here in the LA area.. Beverly Hills, Hacienda Heights,
Torrance, Redondo Beach, but there were two victims in two other states. If you
have information on James Rice please call Manhattan Beach PD.

By Michael Arbeiter, Hollywood.com Staff
Donald Trump has just issued the world's biggest spoiler alert. According to the business maven, he's got some top secret, "huge" news about President Barack Obama a figure for whom he has never exhibited particular favor. Trump paid a visit to Fox & Friends to declare his knowledge of "something very, very big concerning the President of the United States," and subsequently took to TMZ Live to announce his revelation of this information, which will take place Wednesday, "around noonish."
So the obvious question: what are the parameters of "noonish?" No, wait I mean, what's the secret?! A greater slice of political intrigue has not come to be since the mystery of Zachary Taylor's stolen neckerchief hit the airwaves. What could Trump possibly know about Obama that we don't? And how will this intel affect the approaching presidential election nay, the world?
Naturally, for a situation like this, Hollywood.com turned to semi-pro Donald Trump roaster Snoop Dogg (who has recently evolved into Snoop Lion), who shared his thoughts: ""What can he announce? He's getting a new hair job? We don't believe Donald Trump in the neighborhood, so he's not affected."
So the jury is still out. We can only theorize on what secrets Trump will spill about our Commander-in-Chief. And theorize we will after all, half the fun in watching a TV show is trying to beat the clock in figuring out the eventual plot twist. And what is life if not just the longest running drama on AMC?
As such, here's a few of our best hunches for what dark secrets the Prez might be wrapped up in.
Obama Is Working for Abu Nazir
During one of the president's international forays, he's bound to have crossed paths with Homeland's terrorist kingpin. And if Abu Nazir is capable of breaking and rebuilding a U.S. Marine, he might be able to do the same to the head of state. So how did Trump find out about this? Maybe he has Carrie Mathison on his payroll or a wall full of classified printouts of his own.
Obama Is the Bay Harbor Butcher
President Obama was just down in Boca Raton for his final debate with former Gov. Mitt Romney. Perhaps during his stay in Florida, the POTUS disposed of a few troublesome characters, Dexter-style, off the Atlantic Coast. Let's hope Maya takes the news a little better than Deb did
Obama Is Heisenberg
The White House would be the perfect meth lab and Joe Biden a rough-and-tumbler from the streets of Delaware he's your classic Jesse. We have to wait a whole year for Breaking Bad to come back, so this might be a nice placeholder.
Obama Is the Mother
Finally! It all makes sense! Okay, no, this doesn't make any sense. But if Donald Trump does reveal that Barack Obama is the fabled wife of Ted Mosby on How I Met Your Mother, at least it'll mean something interesting happening on that show for the first time this season.
The possibilities are endless! Could Obama be the one who shot J.R.? The Cigarette-Smoking Man? The answer to how the polar bears got to the island? Leave your theories below!

According to a copy of a search warrant obtained by fox 11 news, early last month, federal drug enforcement agents intercepted two packages sent from Indonesia addressed to a home in the flatlands of Beverly hills.
The contents of the packages were listed as patchouli oil, but when agents opened them up, they found six unlabeled metal thermos-like containers filled with sassafras oil, a highly regulated substance in the US and the key ingredient to make molly or ecstasy - popular drugs used at raves.
Joannie, a woman who is a relative of the next door neighbor said, "U heard this was where they manufactured ecstasy and drugs and the fumes were going over to the next door neighbor and making her sick. "
Some neighbors told Fox 11, there would be loud parties at the house and there was even an stabbing in May.
The DEA says the total weight of the two packages sent to the house was roughly 30 pounds, enough to make forty five thousand hits of molly or ecstasy.
Tony Moore, deputy la sheriff says these types of mdma drugs are on the rise, "those of you who have children should be concerned. We're seeing kids go to these raves, these Facebook parties as young as 12 years old. We're seeing kids using this drug as young as 12 years old and we're starting to see an increase so it's a big concern"
DEA agents arrested 27 year old Christopher Lansing for possession and manufacturing drugs. He's been released on 75 thousand dollars bail.
According to the search warrant, law enforcement officials also seized nearly 30 thousand dollars in cash and other chemicals and apparatuses at the house.

Above: Something at Kennecott Copper.
- Every little bit: Air quality is everyone's business - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
It was not a single thing that caused the air hanging over Utah's valleys to become hazardous to our health. And it won't be a single thing that will fix the problem.
While there are no shortage of things to point fingers at — mines, refineries, cars (in motion and idling), homes and even bakeries — the solution to our collective problem will not be found by ganging up on any one sector and giving everyone else a pass.
And it won't be solved by any interest group protesting that it should not be expected to change its ways because, all by itself, it won't be enough to solve the problem.
This is the issue, and the realization, that faces the Utah Division of Air Quality as it gathers suggestions from all comers on how it might have a hope of meeting a federal deadline for creating a plan to cut down on a specific form of air pollution. ...
... There are so many different sources of PM2.5 emissions that each of them will have to be addressed.
Everything from tougher emissions standards for autos and trucks to new-style household appliances to more stringent regulations for industrial sources such as Kennecott Copper and local oil refineries.
The objection that such standards will kill jobs and hurt the economy is weak, indeed, because nothing is more harmful to any region's economy than air you can't breathe.
- Norfolk's coal embarrassment - Virginian Pilot Editorial
No matter how much Norfolk's city manager studies it, a massive coal plant in Surry County would have decidedly negative effects for the people of Hampton Roads. It would pollute the air and water, sicken children and the elderly and worsen air quality problems. ...
- Cleaner air, but work remains - York (Penn.) Dispatch Editorial
Breathe easier -- but don't get complacent.
After three consecutive years listed among the 25 places in the nation with the worst air quality, York County's air has finally improved enough to avoid that wheezing distinction. ...
- Clean air is global effort - Carroll County (Md.) Times Editorial
Beyond showing the impact of pollution on residents, a report from the American Lung Association which gave Carroll a failing grade on air quality demonstrates how our local environment is impacted by pollution generated in other areas. ...
- Dairies' best interest lies in voluntary participation - Yakima (Wash.) Herald-Republic Editorial
Voluntary programs don't work unless people actually volunteer — which is of concern to officials of the Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency as they grapple with the issue of air pollution produced by the county's dairies.

Request for Applications (RFA) No.: SM-12-007
Posting on Grants.gov: May 8, 2012
Original Receipt date: June 12, 2012
Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) No.: 93.243
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2012 National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (NCTSI), Category III, Community Treatment and Services Center grants. The purpose of this program is to provide trauma treatment and services in communities for children, adolescents and their families who experience or witness traumatic events; and to increase access to effective trauma-focused treatment and services for children and adolescents throughout the nation.
The overall goal of the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (NCTSI) is to improve treatment and services for children and adolescents who have experienced traumatic events and to increase access to these treatments and services throughout the United States. The initiative is designed to address child trauma issues by creating a National Network of grantees--the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN)--that works collaboratively to develop and promote effective trauma treatment, services and other resources for children and adolescents exposed to an array of traumatic events. The NCTSN Centers collaborate to develop, implement, evaluate effective trauma treatment and services, and partner with other community agencies to promote service delivery approaches so that trauma services are effectively implemented within local child-serving community service systems.
Children of deployed military personnel have more school, family, and peer-related emotional difficulties in comparison to national samples. Therefore, SAMHSA has identified military families as a priority population under this funding opportunity.
To date, NCTSI has developed and implemented effective interventions to reduce immediate distress from exposure to traumatic events; developed and provided training in trauma-focused services for use in child mental health clinics, schools, child welfare and protective services, among other service areas; and developed widely used intervention protocols for disaster victims.
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) is composed of three types of centers:
The National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (Category I) develops and maintains the collaborative network structure, supports resource development and dissemination, and coordinates the Network's national child trauma education and training efforts.
The Treatment and Service Adaptation (TSA) Centers - (Category II) provide national expertise and assume responsibility in the Network for specific areas of trauma, such as specific types of traumatic events, population groups, and service systems; and support the development and adaptation of effective trauma treatments and services for children, adolescents and their families that can be implemented throughout the nation.
SAMHSA has demonstrated that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. Behavioral health services improve health status and reduce health care and other costs to society. Â Continued improvement in the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services provides a cost effective opportunity to advance and protect the Nation's health. Â To continue to improve the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services, SAMHSA has identified eight Strategic Initiatives to focus the Agency's work on improving lives and capitalizing on emerging opportunities. Â This RFA is part of SAMHSA's effort to achieve the goals of the Trauma and Justice Strategic Initiative by reducing the impact of trauma and violence on children, youth, and families and addressing trauma-related issues throughout behavioral health, health, and social service systems. With this program, SAMHSA expects to implement effective trauma-focused and trauma-informed treatment and services in community settings and in youth-serving service systems and collaborate with other Network Centers on clinical issues, service approaches, policy, financing, and training issues. Â More information on SAMHSA's Strategic Initiatives is available at the SAMHSA website: http://www.samhsa.gov/About/strategy.aspx.
For the purpose of this funding announcement, "trauma-focused" refers to the interventions, resources, products, etc., that specifically address the trauma experience of children, adolescents and their families; and "trauma-informed" refers to the interventions, resources, products, etc., in service systems that provide supportive services for children and adolescents that have experienced trauma.
Over the coming months, SAMHSA will be implementing a process that will develop a formal definition and standardized criteria for trauma-informed care and guidance for adaption to different service systems and sectors. Grantees of this program announcement will be encouraged to participate in this process. All SAMHSA grantees will be expected to align their programmatic activities with the resultant definition and standardized criteria of trauma-informed care.
The National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative Community Treatment and Services (CTS) Center Grants is one of SAMHSA's services grant programs. SAMHSA intends that its services grants result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the 4th month of the project at the latest. Â
The National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative grants are authorized under section 582 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders Topic Area HP 2020-MHMD.
Eligible applicants are domestic public and private nonprofit entities. For example:
Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN Tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities. Consortia of Tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval.
Applicants may also apply for the NCTSI Treatment and Services and Adaptation Centers (TSA) cooperative agreements. If approved for funding in more than one National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative program, an award may be made in only one of the programs.
The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for-profit agencies.
Proposed budgets cannot exceed $400,000 in total costs (direct and indirect) in any year of the proposed project. Annual continuation awards will depend on the availability of funds, grantee progress in meeting project goals and objectives, timely submission of required data and reports, and compliance with all terms and conditions of award.These awards will be made as cooperative agreements.

A 1-year-old DeSoto County dog that was set on fire is improving and could be released from 24-hour care to a primary care veterinarian next week.
"Hope" was brought to a Tampa veterinary trauma center after she was doused with kerosene and set on fire at her home in Arcadia on March 20. Investigators believe Hope's owner may have set the mixed breed on fire.
Hope suffered burns on about 60 percent of her body and has had extensive treatment at BluePearl Veterinary in Tampa. A spokesperson said that Hope's condition is improving, but she is not totally out of the woods yet.
The clinic's ophthalmologist examined Hope's eyes on Tuesday and said that she will likely be able to see normally.
"She won't need to read a newspaper or drive a school bus, but she will be able to see a tennis ball easier," joked BluePearl Ophthalmologist Dr. Tammy Miller Michau.
"So far, Hope is doing very well in response to our treatment plan," said Doctor Helga Bleyaert, who is overseeing Hope's case at BluePearl.
On Monday, the BluePearl staff gave Hope her sixth laser treatment and an antiseptic wash. They also removed dead skin and bad tissue. Hope's burned skin was wrapped in gauze (see photos) after her treatment Monday and she was allowed to go outside for a bit of fresh air.
Arcadia police are investigating the case and have not charged Hope's owner at this time. Police say they're looking into whether or not the fire was intentional and if the owner is mentally stable.
A Hardee County non-profit group called HART is accepting donations for Hope's care. To learn more visit: http://hardeeanimalrescueteam.weebly.com

I was inspired by the typical house of Apulia, a region of Southern Italy, where I live.
This funny construction is called "trullo", and I have made this kawaii and coloured version.
The Apulia region is sunny and the sky is so blue... so, this is a smiling souvenir for you! ;)

The Commitment Problem of Secured Lending
AbstractThe paper investigates optimal financial contracts when investment in pledgeable assets is endogenous and not observable to financiers. In a setting with uncertainty, two inputs with different collateral value and investment unobservability, we show that a firm-bank secured credit contract is time-inconsistent: Once credit has been granted, the entrepreneur has an ex-post incentive to alter the input combination towards the input with low collateral value and higher productivity, thus jeopardizing total bank revenues. Anticipating the entrepreneur's opportunism, the bank offers a non-collateralized credit contract, thereby reducing the surplus of the venture. One way for the firm to commit to the contract terms is to purchase inputs on credit and pledge them to the supplier in case of default. Observing the input investment and having a stake in the bad state, the supplier acts as a guarantor that the input combination specified in the bank contract will be actually purchased and that the entrepreneur will stick to the contract terms. The paper concludes that: (1) Buying inputs on account facilitates the access to collateralized bank financing; (2) Firms using both trade credit and collateralized bank finance invest more in pledgeable assets than firms only using uncollateralized bank credit. Our results are robust to the possibility of collusion between entrepreneur and supplier.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Flood insurance premiums nationwide will rise between one and 25 percent beginning Tuesday. (10/1)
Chief Planning and Zoning Official for Sioux Falls, Jeff Schmidt says that's when a government subsidy for the insurance program ends.
Schmidt says some structures, built in the flood plain before the last FEMA maps came out, were subsidized by the federal government. He says the federal govenrment is coming back and saying they're going to treat everybody as equals, no matter when you were built, everyone is going to have to pay the same premiums.
Schmidt says homes with a federally insured mortgage, and built in a flood plain, must be covered by flood insurance.
Schmidt says the levees around Sioux Falls are finished but it will take years before FEMA issues new maps that will remove some structures from the flood plain.

Eat for Survival in The Hunger Games
Written on March 23, 2012 at 9:41 am , by Samantha Shelton
If you've read the books, you know foraging for natural food is a big element to survival in The Hunger Games. Even though the Games don't actually exist (phew!), eating food in their natural state can be delicious and satisfying. So when Daily Burn sent us some recipes from their meal plan inspired by the series, we couldn't resist! See below for a few of our favorites, along with some tips for eating a more hunter-gatherer diet.
Hunger Games Porridge
Serves 1
- 1/3 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 2 tbsp coconut flakes
- Dash of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- Optional: berries for topping
- In a small bowl, combine oats, coconut flakes, ground flaxseed and cinnamon.
- Add boiling water and stir. Add almond butter and stir once again.
- Top with berries if desired.
Tasty Tip: Get creative! Try new fruits and veggies, and don't be afraid of different flavor combinations, like tossing strawberries on top of your usual grilled chicken salad. You'll be surprised how delicious natural foods can be when mixed in multiple ways.

We Survived The Hunger Games!
Written on March 22, 2012 at 10:12 am , by Karla Walsh
I tried to resist The Hunger Games trend for months, but finally caved and quickly devoured all three books in a matter of weeks last summer. So as soon as I heard about the new Train Like A Tribute workout offered at My Sports Clubs, inspired by the soon-to-be released movie, I knew I wanted my name to be drawn! (Thank goodness this wasn't the real games—fat cells were the only things being killed.)
After being assigned to district three, I entered the "arena" with about 10 other tributes. We did a quick warm-up, then prepared for the mad dash to the cornucopia filled with the tools necessary to complete the workouts (a mat, dumbbells and archery bow) as well as other helpful items like bottles of water and towels. From there, the trainers gave us a CrossFit-inspired workout that would improve our skills for the arena. Our goal: Finish the most rounds in the allotted time.
AMRAP (as many rounds/reps as possible) of the following moves:
Katniss Killers: Archery
- Using a bow, take an archer's stance with right foot staggered in front of left.
- Pull back the bow until taut. Instead of releasing bow string, slowly return to start controlling the resistance.
- Do 10 reps.
- (You can sub in the Single Arm Row with Rotation from our other Hunger Games workout if you don't have a bow handy.)
Capitol Crunches: Tree Climbing
- Lying flat on your back with a 2.5- or 5-pound weight overhead and arms straight, use your core to lift your upper body to a seated position with arms overhead. Keep legs straight throughout the move.
- Slowly lower back to starting position and repeat. Do 10 reps.
Jabber Jay Jacks: Speed/Agility
- Perform a jumping jack, crossing right foot in front of left when you jump feet to the "in" position. During the next rep, jump left foot in front of right.
- Continue performing jacks and alternating feet for 20 reps.
Peeta Presses: Strength
- Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand, with elbows bent 90 degrees out at shoulder level, palms facing toward face.
- Quickly press dumbbells directly overhead, arms extended, while rotating palms forward. Lower to start position. Do 10 reps
I was able to complete about eight rounds and finished just a few reps behind the victor. But whether our districts came is first or last, we experienced a great strength and cardio workout set to some very fun Hunger Games-themed music.
Want to try it yourself? The class is offered FREE to members and non-members until the end of April at the following My Sports Clubs locations:
- New York: 86th Street and Lexington Avenue NYSC; Tuesdays at 12 p.m.
- Philadelphia: Market Street PSC; Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
- Boston: Davis Square BSC; Thursday at 7 a.m.
- Washington, D.C.: Chevy Chase WSC; Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.

Unleash Your Inner Tribute: Daily Burn Inspires Hunger Games Workout
Written on March 20, 2012 at 5:45 pm , by Samantha Shelton
With only three days left until the release of the The Hunger Games, things are getting a bit feisty here in the office. To help channel our inner Katniss, we incorporated the movie into our workouts. Daily Burn, a customizable online fitness program, developed this workout to help the odds be ever in your favor. All you need is a resistance band and a set of dumbbells to turn you into the tribute coming out on top.
Single Arm Row with Rotation
- Targets: Arms, Back
- What you'll need: Resistance band
- Why: Simulate the upper body action Katniss uses every day while shooting with her bow and arrow. Get ready to hunt down your prey, no matter what the arena.
Hook band around a stable pole or door jam and hold both handles with your right hand; arm by side. Step back enough until tubing has tension. Lift right foot, balancing on left; pull band behind you toward right hip. Twist torso to right, then return to center and repeat. Do 10 to 12 reps, then switch sides.
Bear Squat
- Targets: Abs
- What you'll need: Nothing
- Why: Earn a rock-hard core so you'll be ready to explode to the Cornucopia and grab the best survival tools.
Get into plank position, bend knees and push hips over heels, keeping knees off the floor. With a powerful push from your legs, extend back out to plank and hold for 5-10 seconds. Repeat 10 to 12 times.
Curtsy Squat Side Lunge
- Targets: Legs
- What you'll need: A pair of 5- to 10-pound dumbbells
- Why: Powerful legs are needed to withstand all of the trekking through the unfamiliar terrain of the arena.
Holding a dumbbell in each hand, begin with feet together, knees slightly bent. Step right leg out to the right, bending knee slightly; keeping left leg in place. Hinge forward but keep chest lifted. Push off right foot, stepping right foot back behind the left leg, bending both knees into a curtsy lunge. Do 10 to 12 reps, then switch sides.
Quick Feet
- Targets: Agility
- What you'll need: Nothing
- Why: Learn to be light on your feet, like Rue, to move quickly through the trees and escape threatening tribute attacks.
Begin with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Bring arms up to chest, palms facing forward. Start moving feet as fast as you can (similar to small high knees), continuously running in place, keeping feet close to the ground (just like what football players famously do in their warm-ups). Keep shoulders and torso stable. In 10-second intervals, rotate entire body toward the right 90 degrees, then quickly return to center. Repeat to the left. Continue for 1 minute. Repeat 3 times.

Music Monday: Our Hunger Games Soundtrack!
Written on March 19, 2012 at 9:40 am , by Karla Walsh
Just like much of the rest of the country, we are caught up in The Hunger Games hoopla. The books kept us riveted, and they earn bonus points for having so many fitness-related angles. The running! The climbing! The swimming! That's why we decided to declare this "Hunger Games Week" here on The Fit Stop. We'll have at least one HG post daily to help you prepare for the big premiere on Friday.
To kick things off, we crafted a #MusicMonday playlist full of songs inspired by the sure-to-be-hit film. Sure, there's an official soundtrack for the movie, but we're partial to this eclectic mix of gym-ready tracks that will inspire you to get into tribute shape.
- "Hungry Like the Wolf," Duran Duran
- "Survivor," Destiny's Child
- "The Ruler and the Killer," Kid Cudi
- "Let the Flames Begin," Paramore
- "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," Backstreet Boys
- "Hungry Heart," Bruce Springsteen
- "Set Fire to the Rain," Adele
- "Uprising," Muse
- "Heartbeat," The Fray
- "LoveGame," Lady Gaga
- "Safe & Sound," Taylor Swift, featuring The Civil Wars

Beyoncé sure isn't letting anything like being pregnant slow her down from her fast-paced music career. Following the release of her music video Countdown -- which flooded YouTube only a few weeks ago -- the singer just launched her latest single, Love On Top, after releasing the teaser video early last week. This song holds special significance to the fans as well as to Beyoncé herself since she performed this particular track during this year's annual MTV Video Music Awards before revealing she was pregnant. Since no baby bump is present in this video, we have to assume this was recorded several months ago (or this could further add fuel to the baby bump issue). The pop star kept this video relatively simple (compared to some of her other more extravagant music videos) with a clean dance routine, which was accompanied by five backup dancers. It should come as no surprise, though, that this dancing diva can make even the most elementary concepts look hot.

WHO: Buffalo International Film Festival, Inc. (a 501c3 not for profit); Scott Alexander Wood, artist; Edward Summer; Fred Schrock
SPONSORS: Buffalo Film Festival, Buffalo Film Society, Scott Alexander Wood, Ellicott Development Company, Buffalo Tours, Avenue Art & Frame, Semanchin & Wetter, The Buffalo Movie Tour
Buffalo, NY The Buffalo Film Festival is pleased to present the 2nd Annual Birthday Party for the 112th anniversary of the opening of Mitchell and Moe Mark's Vitascope Theater in the Ellicott Square Building. The Film Festival commissioned Scott Alexander Wood, a Buffalo artist and designer to produce a signed print limited to 50 numbered fine-art prints on archival paper as well as artist's proofs A-Z.
The first of the limited-edition prints has already been purchased by Mitchell Mark III, a direct descendant of the builders of this famous theater.
In addition to a short presentation on the history of Ellicott Square and the Mark Brothers' theater, Mayor Brown will present a proclamation, Fred Schrock of Buffalo Tours will make a brief tour of Ellicott Square available, Scott Wood will be on hand to sign posters, and there will be a birthday cake. A statement from Mitchell Mark III will also be read.
The 1896 Vitascope Theater is believed to be the first purpose-built, permanent movie theater in world history. Opened by Mitchel and Moe Mark, local businesmen who became fascinated by Edison's inventions, it became the cornerstone of one of the largest and most profitable motion picture chains in early movie history. In 1914, the Marks opened The Mark-Strand, the world's first million-dollar movie palace in New York City.
Over the last 25 years, Scott Wood has evolved an illustration style that combines a hand-drawn foundation with digital tools and techniques. An Alumni of Buffalo State with his roots in theater design, he brings a child-like enthusiasm to any design problem. Scott is known for his creative and inventive solutions to such projects as The Historical Society's Pan Am Exhibit on Forrest Ave., a full-size Railroad Car simulator in Omaha, and a NYS Park geology museum in Niagara Falls. He is the owner of scottalexanderwood design inc.,
The limited-edition print portrays the Ellicott Square Building, an authentic Vitascope, a 19th Century Movie Theater and other details in a striking, color image with surrounding text explaining the history of this remarkable, now lost theater. Copies of a small and large poster will be available at the event in return for a $5.00 tax-deductible donation to Buffalo International Film Festival. Mr. Wood will be available to sign the posters as well. The limited-edition print will be available for ordering in return for a $60.00 tax-deductible donation. The first ten prints will be available with a Remarque, although several prints were already sold. The prints and posters will also be available soon through the BIFF website at
This is the second year of the Vitascope Theater event. In future years, Buffalo International Film Festival hopes that steps will be taken to rebuild the original theater in the original location which still survives. An exhibit for the lobby of Ellicott Square is already in the works.
Buffalo International Film Festival, Inc. is a 501c3 not-for-profit charity formed in 2004 to bring an important international film festival to Greater Buffalo and the Western New York region. It has other beneficial activities including The Buffalo Film Society and has provided more than 20 screenings of feature motion pictures during 2008. BIFF depends upon donations which are tax-deductible.

A "U.N." for Religions
I'm thinking of a way to bring the religious leaders of every religions, cults, sects or any other religious beliefs representatives together.
The goal behind this is to make them all agree on a term of mutual respect and to make them sign a contract saying that they agree to consider others beliefs in an equal way and not superior nor inferior to their own beliefs, to try and reach a true global religious brotherhood in order to bring a peaceful era, to end the religious wars and religious hatred and to end the possibility for political leaders to use religions as a tool to bring wars more acceptable.
Some of them might not agree to sign an agreement such as this, for fanatical reasons or any other reasons, but some would and that would make all the difference.
I wonder how many followers would still perceived themselves as being "higher" or "superior" from others by knowing that their own spiritual leader didn't agree to sign a "philosophical agreement" such as this, knowing that this agreement is meant to show the true Love and Compassion these spiritual leaders are teachings in their own way.
With such a philosophical agreement of fraternity, we could let go the differences, the first step toward a true global peace would be accomplished.
Religions are not suppose to be part in politics and many beliefs despite politics, but this "agreement" could signify the end of the fetal state of humanity.
An U.N. like Organization for Religions could mean a lot for our future. I consider this to be an essential asset in order to build a peaceful world.
Are you in favor of this ?
I would like to know.
Thank you.

milan marsicFeb 19 2012: I in favor of a gathering with all religious leaders of religions, sects, cults... and whatever the name you might have for any belief (minority as well as majority), and ASK ALL OF THEM, TO SIGN A AGREEMENT OF VERIFYING THE CONFORMITY OF ALL THE HOLY BOOKS OF EACH RELIGION (BIBLE, KORAN...) TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS ! I´m in favor of that kind of gathering, so that then we can have a mutual respect of each other´s religion!
Feb 23 2012: Here are some points to ponder, it is what the Bible teaches:
"HE WHO does not love does not know God; for God is love," states the Bible. (1 John 4:8, New Catholic Edition of the Holy Bible)
Good religion, therefore, should promote brotherly love.
Many religions do an admirable job of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the poor. They encourage their members to apply the counsel of the apostle John, who wrote: "Suppose someone has enough to live and sees a brother or sister in need, but does not help. Then God's love is not living in that person. My children, we should love people not only with words and talk, but by our actions and true caring."—1 John 3:17, 18, New Century Version.
What happens, though, when nations go to war?
Should God's command to "love thy neighbour as thyself" be applied in times of peace but be suspended when a politician or a king chooses to fight a neighbor nation?—Matthew 22:39, King James Version.
Jesus said: "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:35, New International Version)
As you answer the following questions, ask yourself, 'Do the members of any religion I know display love toward all men at all times not only with words but also with actions?'
The Bible's teaching on WAR: Jesus commanded his disciples: "I say to you, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you."—Matthew 5:44, NCE.
When soldiers came to arrest Jesus, the apostle Peter drew a weapon to defend him. However, Jesus said: "Put your sword back in its place. All who use swords will be killed with swords."—Matthew 26:52, NCV.
The apostle John wrote: "You can tell God's children from the devil's children, because those who belong to the devil refuse to do right or to love each other. From the beginning you were told that we must love each other. Don't be like Cain, who belonged to the devil and murdered his own brother."—1 John 3:10-12, Contemporary English Version.
continued below.................
Feb 23 2012: Which religion teaches its members to overcome political, racial, and economic barriers that divide people?
Jesus was a wonderful spiritual leader. What he did and what he taught was recorded in scripture.
There are millions on earth today who make a concerted effort to live in harmony with his words.
Not because they had to be part of some televised event with pomp and circumstance, but because someone lovingly taught them Biblical truths that moved their heart to change and dress with the new personality......the one that allows love to rule their life.....still imperfect, but not willing to do harm to others.
And, they even make a concerted effort to teach others the way of love and peace.
What you propose is already being done....You know Maxime, in many of the Bible's accounts of Jesus miracles he "ordered" those around him not to tell anyone what he had done. Jesus was not interested in promoting himself. He came to fulfill prophecy, he taught about the good news of God's kingdom, he showed that he had power from above by his miracles, and even though he caused no harm to anyone, and he preached love, he was put to death like a common criminal.
Love is a message that incurs hate. Regardless of how much love you preach, there is this aura of hatred in the world....like a veil that covers everything. The scriptures explain what it is.
Please know that I am so impressed with your idea. It shows the desire in you to see understanding and tolerance in the world.
It is what I most like about the talks and conversations here on TED. Everyone gets to see other's point of view, and come to an understanding of it, even though they do not agree.
I already have made a decision to have love for my fellow human. I think many feel the way you and I do.
I hope I have shed light on what I was trying to tell you earlier. I cannot always get my point across in an effective manner. But I try.
Peace and love to you. Be Well.
Feb 23 2012: Dear Mary,
Nothing wrong with the teachings ascribed to a man called Jesus but Christianity as we know it is something different altogether. It serves many interests and they're not all divine, not now or in the past. About the same can be said about most other religions.
Love is not to be preached but to be practiced. Lack of it is the core of all human difficulties whether religious or not.
Feb 23 2012: "Love is a message that incurs hate. Regardless of how much love you preach, there is this aura of hatred in the world....like a veil that covers everything."
This is exactly what we have to remove, this veil of hatred, and that is what the religious leaders, spiritual leaders are here for.
Feb 23 2012: Dear Frans,
Yes, you are correct. This is what I am trying to communicate. Religions follow men. Those of faith follow God....and they practice what they preach.
I absolutely agree.....Love is to be practiced, not preached. It is no wonder that Jesus himself said at john 13:35...in this all will know you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.
I guess what I am saying is that I follow Jesus' teachings, and not those of men.
Even in his day Jesus said at Matthew 7 that religious leaders of that day had made the word of God obsolete because of the traditions of men.
Over 20 years ago I walked out on the religion I was raised in because of the hypocrisy.
Today I have faith, it is totally different. And again, I repeat what I have very often said on TED. There is a big big difference between credulity and faith.
Most that profess a religion have credulity.....you can tell because their actions do not reflect scriptural principles. If they had faith, they would have compassion, and know that godly devotion is a way of life which allows you to put other's interests ahead of your own in many aspects of your life.
When the religious leaders tell their perishioners that scriptures are man's word, not God's. How could the perishioners possibly reflect love in their life, since the teaching of love your enemies, and treat others as you would like others to treat you are scriptural principles??
See the dilemna, and the vicious circle? This site is filled with excellent ideas coming from individuals that have not found satisfying answers to life's most complex questions. They see "religious people" being hypocrites, and scoff at religion. All the while, there are many of us people of faith who are attempting to educate those world wide who really want to learn how to put in practice godly principles spelled out in scripture.
Frans, I admire very much the fact that you see religion for what it is. I do to.
Thank you for your comment.
Be Well.
Feb 23 2012: @Maxime..."This is exactly what we have to remove, this veil of hatred, and that is what the religious leaders, spiritual leaders are here for."
In theory yes. In practice, that is not what is happening. Again, because people are following "HUMAN" religious leaders.
We as humans have to turn to the Creator and look for his elevated standards of human interaction. This is easier said then done. Why, because noone feels that scriptures are worth applying in our day and age. They see it as "old-fashioned"...
Again, I will tell you Maxime, that there are millions of individuals who at this very moment have found such a fraternal brotherhood like you speak of....people in over 200 lands, united in love, and living their life with godly devotion. It is possible.
But, considering there are over 7 billion people wordlwide, who like to govern themselves, I seriously doubt that the majority will allow anyone else to dictate who they should and should not love or tolerate, even if it comes from a so called "religious leader", and it is televised and on the front page of all the newspapers.
I've pretty much said all I can on the subject. I will continue to follow the conversation and see what else I can contribute that is worthy.
Thank you for replying to all my comments.
Be Well.
Feb 24 2012: I not trying to impose rules over anyone, i want to show to everyone who doubt about the possibility of Peace that Peace can be handle, even from the most unexpected, which are for many the spiritual leaders from all the different faith system, because they think they are so different.
We are being told that the other is not like us, that they are dangerous, that they are threatening us. I want to show the world that it is not true.
Feb 24 2012: Maxime, I understand why you want to do it.
I honestly agree with you, we are told that those different from us are dangerous...because if you divide, you conquer. It happens in business, it happens in families, it happens in an elementary classroom among the children....divide and conquer.
To bring about Peace, you have to get to the root cause of the hatred.
This is what is the solution. This is what changed my life. This is what will change the world.
Have a good weekend Maxime. Please, go back and read carefully what I wrote....with an open mind, and see if you perceive what I am trying to show you.
Be Well.
Feb 26 2012: So from your opinion, following "HUMAN" religious leaders would be the root cause of the hatred.
But to me, it is not this simple. To me, the main cause of hatred is the division which brings assumptions of differences, of wrongness, that is what causes this hatred.
Religious leaders are not all evil men, most of them are peaceful being only willing to bring peace around them. If the world would see a unity taking place among these particular persons, the assumptions of difference would fall for many people.
The results would be astonishingly good.

text: SHEBOYGAN, Wi (WHBL) - The Sheboygan City Council Monday night approved an agreement to allow a Madison firm to install beach and water amusement equipment at the Quarryview Park beach this summer and charge a fee. Some people have balked at the fee, which has yet to be determined, but Alderman Don Hammond said it's no different than when the city operated the slide and charged a fee. Hammond said the city gets new equipment and lifeguards at the quarry at no cost to the city. Under the agreement, the company will pay the city one dollar to lease the beach from Memorial Day to Labor Day and will provide beach and deep water equipment at no charge to the city. The area opposite the beach will still be open for swimming at no charge.

I'm Big and Pregnant. What's Your Excuse?
Under no circumstances do strangers need to make comments about the size of a pregnant woman. Regardless of what they see or what they think they see -- keep those opinions to yourself.
Edmonds Mommy: During my second pregnancy, I have been amazed by what comes out of people's mouths. Just when I thought I've got this pregnancy thing down and am able to maintain some sort of style (which included locating the super cute flats, and wearing that Bella Band with my saucy jeans), some idiot nails me with a "Is it triplets?"or a "Wow, you're huuuge!" comment. The most shocking part is that these comments happen more at the grocery store than with people I actually know.
Since when do strangers get to comment on my body shape? Do I get to retort with commentary on their muffin top or lazy eye? No. I hold my tongue then sashay my way through the insolence, telling myself that this person is a moron and not to take anything to heart. It works the other way, too. Co-workers and acquaintances get wind of a pregnancy then wonder, "Why aren't you showing?," "You should be bigger by now," or "Is everything okay?" People! Where is the sensitivity? Being pregnant seems to give people the green light to forego their social graces and just let the comments fly ... whatever they may be. Luckily, I have a thick skin when it comes to this stuff. I do not lay awake thinking about the lady in the frozen foods section who asked, "Just how much have you put on?"
People. Check yourself, before you wreck yourself! Not only are you rude, you are dealing with someone who has more than her share of hormones pulsing through her body and literally could snap at any moment. Save the new mom-to-be the heartache. Save yourself the black eye and button that lip!
I completely agree with this! My daughter is a year old now. I had multiple people touching my stomach, but I came up with a tactful way to get them to realize it was rude. I rubbed theirs right back! I also was walking through a Walmart when an employee asked me all these questions and gave me advice. I was only about 9 weeks along and was not showing! I wanted to ask her when she was due! How would she have known I was pregnant? I didn't show until I was 4 months along!
I only gained about 18 pounds, and I was huge. I didn't mind when people said anything, and the only person who touched my belly was my best friend, and she asked first. I can't believe people think it's OK to touch strangers!
By the way, "check yourself before you wreck yourself" is an old Ice Cube lyric. Ali G is making a reference, most likely to that song.
Im 7 months pregnant right now and pre-pregnancy I was pretty petite. All the weight I've gained is in my belly butt & boobs so I can't even count the amount of times a day I get told im huge. I even had a co worker tell I shouldn't eat bologna on a lunch break one day because its fattening. Its ridiculous, it got to the point where I asked my ob-gyn if my weight gain was normal. Fortunately she told me my weight gain is perfect people just don't know to interact with pregnant and due to the fact that im short and was small pre-pregnancy people think im bigger than normal.
I think it was Dave Barry who said that you should never say anything to a women about her being pregnant unless there is at that moment an actual baby coming out of her.
While that's a bit extreme, I do think people need to learn to keep it to "congratulations" and then shut their pie holes. It's nobody's damn business how much weight you gain, and you know what, people? One single baby can make a belly stick out a LOT. That doesn't mean it's twins or triplets. So shut it.
Worse than this I have had complete strangers make comment on my pregnant shape ….when I wasn't even pregnant!!!I have had 3 kids, 2 c-sections and am an apple shape. I look quite slim apart from my stomach, but I have had complete strangers say things like, "you look glowing, when are you due?" and "you have 3 kids? And another on the way! " It is soo hurtful, I would have a tummy tuck if I could afford it. So rude.
When I became pregnant, my husband and I were stationed at El Paso, he was at Biggs Airfield and I was on Fort Bliss (they're really the same place, but the airfield is considered a separate entity). We went to Edgar, WI for the baby shower and to see the family (hubby's family, mine was in Korea). I thought I was a freakin' whale and I couldn't stand to look at myself in the mirror. And at the baby shower they did a game where each person got a ribbon to measure out to guess how big I was. As I was walking around the table to see who guessed right, the older women made comments about how SMALL I was. They said you couldn't tell I was pregnant from the back. I was just shy of 6 months and looked like I swallowed a round watermelon. It depends where you go, I guess. In Wisconsin, I was tiny. If I had been in Korea … who knows? As for the rude questions, I just gave people a bright smile and a chirpy answer. No thick skin needed.
Omigosh! You hit the nail right on the head! I've been getting so pissed off because people feel they have the right to comment on my appearance. I hate the "Are you sure there aren't twins in there?" comment I've gotten a million times. Just yesterday I had someone ask me how I'm feeling and then I told her I was having trouble sleeping and back pain and she went into this whole thing about how most people only feel that way in the third trimester and I'm in for it..blah blah blah…look how big she is!" I am by no means fat. Everything is all belly and my doctor says the baby and I are where we should be. I'm so sick and tired of all the unsolicited comments and advice I could kill the next person who says something. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean you get a free pass to talk to me and give me your opinions! Step off before I go postal!

Hartnell College Names Interim President
June 19th, 2007
At a special meeting of the Hartnell Community College District Board of Trustees on Tuesday evening, June 19, long-time educator Phoebe Knight Helm was named interim superintendent and president of the college.
Dr. Helm brings to the college more than 30 years of experience serving community colleges in Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, and California. Her broad background in education includes teaching and administrative work in K-12 schools, colleges, and graduate schools, including a stint as the interim vice president and assistant superintendent of instruction at Palomar Community College and four years as the vice chancellor of economic development and vocational education at the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office in Sacramento.
Dr. Helm retired in 2004 after serving eight years as president of Harry S. Truman College, one of seven community colleges of the City College of Chicago. Her career has focused on serving community colleges in ethnically and culturally diverse areas.
Dr. Helm earned her Ed. D. at the University of Kentucky, her master's in education at Memphis State University, her bachelor's of science in education at Union University, and an associate's degree at Freed-Hardeman College in Henderson, Tennessee.
Announcing the unanimous appointment out of closed session, Board Chair Aaron Johnson said, "I am happy to announce that our board, which has been focused on this task for six months, has chosen someone able to effectively communicate with the board, with faculty, with unions, and the community, as interim president to keep Hartnell moving forward."
Dr. Helm, who will be the first woman to serve as a president and superintendent of Hartnell College, said "I am a person who likes what she does, likes people, believes in education, and especially believes in community college education. Let's all work together, full steam ahead."
"I am humbled by your faith [in me]," she said. After meeting members of the campus community on Wednesday, Dr. Helm will be back on campus June 26. She officially begins work on July 1.
The Board has commenced the process of choosing a permanent superintendent/president by soliciting professional executive search firms to assist with the nation-wide search. That process will be fully under way in the fall and will involve input from a broad base of interested college and community members. It is the Board's hope that a permanent president will be named in the spring of 2008.

What causes small intestinal bacterial overgrowth?
Comment on this Read 11 Comments
The gastrointestinal tract is a continuous muscular tube through which digesting food is transported on its way to the colon. The coordinated activity of the muscles of the stomach and small intestine propels the food from the stomach, through the small intestine, and into the colon. Even when there is no food in the small intestine, muscular activity sweeps through the small intestine from the stomach to the colon.
The muscular activity that sweeps through the small intestine is important for the digestion of food, but it also is important because it sweeps bacteria out of the small intestine and thereby limits the numbers of bacteria in the small intestine. Anything that interferes with the progression of normal muscular activity through the small intestine can result in SIBO. Simply stated, any condition that interferes with muscular activity in the small intestine allows the bacteria to stay longer and multiply in the small intestine. The lack of muscular activity also may allow bacteria to spread backwards from the colon and into the small intestine.
Many conditions are associated with SIBO. A few are common.
