I picked up the MGK album Lace Up last week. Really, my wife dropped by Best Buy and picked the album up for me (Deluxe edition, of course).
Having listened to this album multiple times, I'm very disappointed to have missed him in concert with Tech N9ne when they came through Houston earlier this year.
However, damn I love this album. I love the different styles, and yet how you can always tell when MGK is on.
D3MONS is easily my favorite track. I'm also fond of Wild Boy, Stereo, and Edge of Destruction. Really I like the entire album, but damn those tracks are killer.
The video for Wild Boy is pretty funny:
If you're getting the album, go for the Deluxe version. Right now on Amazon the deluxe (MP3) album is $9.99. It's $9.49 for the regular release with THREE less tracks. Deluxe is totally worth it.

Small caps are latest threat to rally
Market watchers fear the stocks of smaller companies are getting overheated, which could poke a hole in the seemingly unstoppable market surge.
By Jeff Cox
Smaller companies have helped light the way for the stock market rally -- and consequently could chart the way to the long-awaited correction.
Companies that make up the Russell 2000 ($TOMX) have pushed the index into stratospheric levels, crossing the 1,000 barrier and into a 23% gain for the year.
That's been a highly bullish sign for the market, as the domestically focused companies have benefited from a strong interest in U.S.-centric firms.
But those who watch the space fear that small caps are getting overheated and thus threatening to poke holes in the seemingly unstoppable broad market surge.
"Although the Russell 2000 has just made another new all-time high, we confess that we still can't quite get comfortable with the move we've seen," said Lori Calvasina, small cap strategist at Credit Suisse. "To get more bullish, we need to see more evidence that the economy and earnings are poised to re-accelerate in the back half of the year."
In fact, the index already has breached the 950 target that Credit Suisse had slapped on the group this year. Calvasina had conceded that the Russell 2000 could hit 1,025 at some point before pulling back, but even that lofty target has fallen.
Credit Suisse uses six barometers to test the space, and only two are positive -- investor sentiment and retail money flow.
Once the 1,025 mark hit, Calvasina said, "We had doubts such a move could be sustained through year end since we suspected that valuation pressures might return once that level was achieved. That valuation test we have been anticipating is also occurring now."
Valuation has passed 17 times earnings, and with profit outlook weak the ability of small-caps to gain at such high levels looks suspect.
A Credit Suisse investor survey for the first half showed just 18% found valuations to be compelling at these levels, despite a majority feeling bullish about the space over the long term.
"We think the lack of valuation appeal may have an impact on the appetite of long-only small cap investors, as those spending more time than usual looking for new ideas fell to 35% from 52%," Credit Suisse said in a narrative that accompanied the survey.
The firm advises investors to use caution.
Credit Suisse is overweight industrials and durable goods producers, and has raised tech to overweight after a cut in May.
It is market weight consumer discretionary, health care and utilities and underweight financials, staples and materials.
Even those bullish of small-caps are flashing warnings that some near-term resistance is probably in the works.
Todd Salamone, senior vice president of research at Schaeffer's Investment Research, said resistance levels for the Russell 2000 could be around the 1,060 range as the steam starts to run out of the rally.
That, in turn, could trigger a pause in the other major averages as they approach 20% gains for the calendar year.
"The good news for bulls is that the unwinding of negative sentiment that was evident in late June has not been fully unwound," Salamone said. "The various benchmarks are in uncharted waters and approaching short-term overbought levels, so we could see some sideways movement in the coming weeks, even though a continued unwind from the late-June fear could spur further momentum."

AAC current detectors for Boeing 747 water heaters
American Aerospace Controls (AAC) announced that its new DO-160E qualified Model S1028 Series AC Current Level Detectors have been specified for aftermarket use on the Boeing 747 by several major European carriers, in direct support of aircraft galley water heater upgrade requirements.
Within the Boeing 747 aircraft galley are two separate water heaters, each with their own unique power requirements, supplied by a common busbar. To prevent overloads caused by simultaneous operation of both water heaters, the AAC S1028 AC Current Level Detector is used to prioritize operation by the higher-load water heater, effectively "locking out" the second water heater while the first is in use.

Because a film (or a TV show!) can change your life...
What was once unthinkable is now mainstream - lesbians are creeping out of the TV closet ever so slowly, and then BANG the closet doors are busted wide open by something as audacious as Orange is the New Black, or as classy as The Good Wife. And it's not just about coming out anymore. Today's TV lesbians are way beyond that. They're comfortable with their sexuality, and it just forms part of a wider range of stories that they can tell and be part of. Ten years ago we dreamed this day would come.
I'm telling you, gay is busting out all over, and TV is leading the way. I'm currently catching up on a backlog of movie reviews, but over the next few months I'm putting in a new section called TV Spotlight, which highlights some examples of lady love on the small screen - whether it's a series or just a single episode. So if there's something you saw that you would like to see reviewed, please let me know by email or twitter at email@example.com or @NancyAmazon.
Latest Film Reviews
Kyss Mig (2011)
While not the world's most groundbreaking film thematically, this is a beautifully shot, mature drama that rises well above the norm. The leads are charismatic and will pull you in - its an engaging love story marred only by a slightly saccharine romcom ending.
Mosquita y Mari (2012)
A slow, gentle film about a friendship between two young girls, and the forces beyond their control that conspire to ruin their happiness. This is a very gentle, intimate, nostalgic coming of age film that is a masterclass in the art of storytelling. Stay away if you get bored easily, but embrace it if you love movies with a real emotional payoff.
Cloudburst (2011)
Dealing with an almost untouched area of life - growing old - Cloudburst is an often hilarious, but sometimes uneven, portrayal of two geriatric women desperate to prevent the world from coming between them. This a road trip full of love, laughter, language, loss, and of course, clouds.
TV Spotlight
Orange is the New Black (Season 1 - 2013)
Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, Orange is the New Black is more than just a prison show - it's an authentic, humane look at incarceration from an unexpected viewpoint. Part of a new wave of cinematic quality TV, this original Netflix series carries viewers effortlessly along on the strength of a brilliant cast, clever dialogue, and chemistry to die for between the leads.

It's time for backcountry horsemen to embrace catch-and-release fishing.
Trail riding and lake fishing go together like, well, fresh-caught trout cooked over a campfire with lemon and butter. So the first time I returned a living trout to a mountain lake, my inner-hunter asked, "What's the point?" while my stomach grumbled, "There goes dinner." Fishing regulations allowed me to keep the trout, but I'd noticed over the years that my favorite lake had fewer and fewer fish. So, I released my catch to swim another day.
It turns out, diminishing fish populations are an issue facing mountain lakes across the American West. In the past year, major backcountry areas in California and Washington have cut back their fish stocking programs. Why are they picking a fight with fish?


text: content LE Magazine December 2004 Potassium Iodide Protecting Yourself In a Nuclear Emergency By Jon VanZile Chernobyl: Lessons Learned Fortunately, scientists have not had much opportunity to study the effects of a nuclear emergency on human beings. Nuclear weapons have been used only twice against people, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, near the end of the World War II. There have been only a handful of nuclear reactor meltdowns, and only one that released deadly levels of radioactive energy. It occurred in April 1986, at a nuclear reactor in Chernobyl, Ukraine. Chernobyl was the first nuclear emergency large enough to threaten the health and well-being of millions of people. During that catastrophe, one of the main reactors of the power plant melted down, releasing an estimated 120 million curies of radioactive material. The surrounding land was heavily contaminated with plutonium and cesium, as well as with dangerous levels of radioactive iodine. Ultimately, more than 21,000 square kilometers of land were contaminated, and about 135,000 people were permanently evacuated. Experts later estimated that 17 million people were exposed to excess radiation,4 including 2.3 million children living in eastern Russia, southern Belarus, and northern Ukraine.5 At first, scientists did not appreciate the threat posed by high levels of radioiodine released during the meltdown. It did not take long, however, to start seeing the effects. Within four years, there was a sharp spike in the incidence of thyroid cancer.1 This increase occurred in children who had received less than 30 rems of radioiodine to the thyroid.6 Within 15 years, more than 1,000 cases of thyroid cancer had been reported in the affected areas, a 30- to 60-fold increase.6 All of the cases, according to the World Health Organization, were "most probably solely attributable to this single release of radioactivity to the environment."5 Significantly, none of these areas made potassium iodide widely available. Following the Chernobyl meltdown, Poland immediately distributed 17 million doses of potassium iodide, including 10 million to children. This was the first time scientists had an opportunity to study the side effects of potassium iodide in a large population. The news was encouraging: side effects were clinically insignificant.6 Awful as it was, the Chernobyl experience confirmed a valuable lesson: children are by far the most vulnerable to radiation exposure, even in relatively small doses.7 Children exposed to radiation suffer from higher rates of certain childhood cancers, especially leukemia and thyroid cancer, and have a greater likelihood of developing breast cancer as adults.7 Children's greater vulnerability to radiation exposure is attributable to several factors, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. First, children have higher minute ventilation, or a higher concentration of tiny capillaries in the lungs. This leads to greater radioactivity exposure from the same amount of radioactive material. Second, children are extra sensitive to the DNA-damaging effects of radioactive energy. Finally, children are more likely than adults to suffer from long-term psychological injury due to a radiation disaster.1 TABLE 1: Potassium Iodide Dosage Guidelines Patient age Exposure in grays* Potassium iodide dosage Over 40 years Less than 5 130 mg 18 - 40 years Less than .1 130 mg 12 - 18 years Less than .05 65 mg 3 - 12 years Less than .05 65 mg 1 month - 3 years Less than .05 32 mg Birth - 1 month Less than .05 16 mg Pregnant or lactating Less than .05 130 mg * A gray is the International System of Units (SI) unit of energy for the absorbed dose of radiation. One gray is the absorption of one joule of radiation energy by one kilogram of matter. One gray equals 100 rad, an older unit. Guidelines for Protection Fortunately, adults and children who are given potassium iodide may be completely protected from radioiodine. According to the Federal Register, "potassium iodide should be stockpiled and distributed to emergency workers and institutionalized persons for radiological emergencies at a nuclear power plant and its use should be considered for the general public within the 10-mile emergency planning zone of a nuclear power plant."8 Significantly, however, this is only a recommendation. The final decision to stockpile potassium iodide has been left to state and local governments. Although the NRC has made free doses available to local governments, a significant number of cities and states have chosen not to participate in the program. As a result, you cannot be sure whether your local government has adequate supplies of potassium iodide. Fortunately, potassium iodide pills are available over the counter. While the government recommends stockpiling within a 10-mile radius of a nuclear reactor, there is good reason to believe that people within a larger area should take precautions. The distribution of radioiodine is affected by wind patterns. In Chernobyl, the areas of greatest contamination were the 20-mile zone around the reactor, another region 120 miles north-northeast of the reactor, and yet another area 300 miles northeast of the reactor.1 In heavily congested areas—like southeastern New York state, which is close to five nuclear reactors—the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends stockpiling potassium iodide within a 50-mile radius. Other proposals have suggested a 200-mile radius.1 FDA-approved potassium iodide is available in 130-mg and 65-mg pills. The government has issued dosage guidelines for home use of potassium iodide, as shown in Table 1 above. Potassium iodide can be dissolved in any liquid. Because it tastes salty, the FDA recommends dissolving it in pleasant-tasting solutions when administering it to children. Fruit beverages, including orange juice and raspberry drink, seem to hide the flavor. Chocolate milk and flat cola also can help mask the taste. Water and low-fat milk do not disguise the unpleasant taste. Each dose of potassium iodide lasts for 24 hours. WEIGHING IN ON POTASSIUM IODIDE The use of potassium iodide to protect people from radiation exposure is supported by a wide array of governmental and medical organizations, including: • American Academy of Pediatrics: "All children at risk should receive potassium iodide before exposure, if possible, or immediately afterward. This will require that potassium iodide be available in homes located within 10 miles of a nuclear power plant. Childcare facilities within 10 miles of a nuclear power plant should plan to stockpile the agent. It may be prudent to consider stockpiling potassium iodide within a larger radius because of more distant windborne fallout."1 • US Food and Drug Administration: "The effectiveness of potassium iodide as a specific blocker of thyroid radioiodine uptake is well established, as are the doses necessary for blocking uptake. As such, it is reasonable to conclude that potassium iodide will likewise be effective in reducing the risk of thyroid cancer in individuals or populations at risk for inhalation or ingestion of radioiodines."6 • World Health Organization: "The selective and rapid concentration and storage of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland results in internal radiation exposure of the thyroid, which may lead to an increased risk of thyroid cancer and benign nodules and, at high doses, hypothyroidism. These risks can be reduced or even prevented by proper implementation of stable [potassium] iodine prophylaxis."5 • US Nuclear Regulatory Commission: "Potassium iodide, if taken within the appropriate time and at the appropriate dosage, blocks the thyroid gland's uptake of radioactive iodine and thus reduces the risk of thyroid cancers and other diseases that might otherwise be caused by thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine that could be dispersed in a severe reactor accident."9 Limitations of Potassium Iodide Although potassium iodide has shown powerful benefits in protecting people, and especially children, against a nuclear emergency, health officials stress that it is not a perfect solution. According to the NRC, the first line of defense during a nuclear emergency is evacuation. If evacuation is impossible, sheltering is the next best solution. Ideally, people should seek shelter in concrete buildings, even skyscrapers. If exposure does occur, any contaminated clothes should be removed and discarded as soon as possible. Potassium iodide is not entirely without side effects. In newborns, potassium iodide has been shown to decrease the blood level of thyroxine and increase the level of thyroid stimulating hormone.1 In pregnant women, potassium iodide has been shown to cause neonatal hypothyroidism. In both cases, potassium iodide should be administered only as a last resort. People with iodine allergies should avoid potassium iodide. Potassium iodide's effectiveness also depends on the nature of the radioactive exposure. The drug is specifically geared to thyroid protection by blocking the uptake of radioiodine, a common beta particle produced during certain nuclear reactions. However, potassium iodide offers no protective benefits against other forms of radiation, including the extremely dangerous neutrons that are released during a nuclear explosion. It is also ineffective against so-called "dirty bombs," which are constructed from radioactive material that does not contain radioiodine. Finally, among older people and those in iodine-deficient areas, potassium iodide use has been associated with iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis. At chronic high doses, it has been shown to cause goiter or hypothyroidism. Because of this, people with multinodular goiter, Graves' disease, and autoimmune thyroiditis should be use caution and consult a physician before using potassium iodide.6 Despite these limitations, potassium iodide, if used quickly and correctly, is the only pharmacological approach that has ever shown specific protective effects during a nuclear emergency.1 References 1.

Though combat was not a factor in precipitating or reactivating neurotic syndromes in this particular locality, other less tangible external factors played a decisive role in the production of neuropsychiatric disability.3. Of the psychoneurotic patients, 80% gave a history of clear-cut symptoms before entering the service.4. Psychoneuroses made up over 50% of the cases.5. Some of the psychoneurotic reactions in these men who were not in combat were similar to cases reported in the literature as "battle neurosis" and "combat fatigue."6. Psychoneurosis, dementia precox and miscellaneous disorders are illustrated by case histories. Certain problems in dealing with these disorders are discussed.7. The general problem of disposition and treatment is presented, emphasis being laid on mental hygiene. Roughly 75% of the psychoneurotic soldiers were kept on duty status. One-third of the total neuropsychiatric cases were evacuated.

CHICAGO (AP) - Alfonso Soriano hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning and the Chicago Cubs snapped an 8-game losing streak with a 5-3 win over the slumping Cincinnati Reds on a rain-soaked Thursday night.
With the score tied at 3, Reds reliever Sean Marshall (4-4) walked Anthony Rizzo. Just as the skies cleared up, Soriano cracked a two-run shot to center field off Logan Ondrusek.
Shawn Camp (3-5) pitched a perfect eighth for the win and Carlos Marmol worked the ninth for his 14th save in 16 chances.
Todd Frazier and Zack Cozart homered for Cincinnati after the start was delayed by rain for 1 hour, 20 minutes. The NL Central leaders lost their fifth straight but remained 2½ games ahead of second-place Pittsburgh.

Our Energy InSightSM system features digital smart meters with two-way communications able to send and receive information to and from consumers and CenterPoint Energy. These meters capture not only electricity consumed, but also surplus electricity generated by distributed generation sources such as solar panels or wind turbines. CenterPoint Energy can read these meters remotely. The meters also measure usage in 15-minute intervals, which can give consumers valuable information about their consumption habits while allowing Retail Electric Providers (REPs) to offer new services such as time-of-use rates.
Energy InSight is more than a meter, however. It's a complex system that integrates many technologies. Data is transmitted from the meters to cell relays, which are wireless devices installed on power distribution poles. Cell relays pick up signals from meters in the vicinity and transmit the data via radio to a "Take out Point (TOP)." TOPs collect data from cell relays within a several-mile radius and deliver it via microwave or fiber optic cable to CenterPoint Energy's data center, where computing systems gather and process 96 daily reads per meter. (View six-minute video: How to Build an Advanced Metering System ).
Smart meters automate not only meter reading but also electric service connection and disconnection, which can help reduce the time to have new electric service connected or to switch REPs. In the future these new meters will also automatically notify CenterPoint Energy when the power goes out. As an added benefit, smart meters will also enable communication with future smart appliances in homes and businesses.

One was built by the L&N Railroad as its headquarters and the other once housed Louisville's famous bourbons – and now two historic buildings on Main Street are being converted into a mixed-use project that includes apartments, condominiums, restaurants and offices.
Whiskey Row Lofts is an $18 million, 100,000 square-foot project located adjacent to the new downtown arena. The complex is being developed by Bill Weyland, of CITY Properties, and Valle and Stephen Jones, siblings who own the buildings.
"Whiskey Row is proof, yet again, that our decision to build the arena downtown is spurring economic development," Mayor Jerry Abramson said. "The location of Whiskey Row is perfect, and I suspect the condos and apartments will sell and be leased quickly."
Whiskey Row will be a 24 hour community that includes restaurants and entertainment venues, offices and 23 rental apartments and four condominiums, Valle Jones said.
The renovation project, at 127-131 W. Main, will keep many of the buildings' original features, including hardwood floors and huge windows overlooking downtown, the arena and the Ohio River.
"We are excited to part of the rebirth of this block," Valle Jones said. "Our vision has always been an historic renovation that would create a pedestrian friendly, mixed-use environment with river views in the heart of downtown."
Both buildings date from around 1875. The Jones family has owned the corner building since 1984. Valle and Stephen Jones' father, Larry Jones, (aka "Squirrelly") ran a magic show there for decades until his death in 2003.
Valle and Stephen Jones purchased the adjacent building last year from the Weller family, which owned and operated Burwinkle-Hendershot Company, wholesale distributors, in that location since the 1940s.
Financing has been provided by Fifth Third Bank and the Downtown Housing Assistance Fund, which committed a $200,000 low-interest loan to the project. The downtown housing fund is operated by the Downtown Development Corp. and Louisville Metro Government.
Construction on Whiskey Row will start in early 2009, Weyland said, and is expected to be completed in 2010 – in time for the opening of the new downtown arena.
"Whiskey Row will be another great addition to our growing and vibrant downtown," Weyland said.

So many of us are caught up with everything happening around us, that we often neglect what we need to be happy. If you can rewind back to your childhood, what made you happy? In this modern age, we are so obsessed with our own personal image that we sacrifice our own individuality for what others think of us. The latest clothing trends, make up, hairstyles and phases take us by storm and leave us dependent upon other people's thoughts. What we feel comfortable wearing is changed. No longer can some girls be social without caking their face with make-up fearing they won't fit in. What music we listen to changes and even our hobbies are altered, but what for? To fit the "scene?"..
No matter how many times you call a girl ugly, it won't make you pretty. Don't fall into the trap of modern mentality combined with societies false expectations. Be yourself. Do what you want to do. No magazine can tell you how to live your life and no cruel words can change your personal values that make you, who you are. Your own individuality is beautiful and should not be underestimated. It provides you with the road to your true happiness, being able to feel the most comfortable whilst living life to the fullest. Don't let anyone hold you back because no-one can but you.

Cash-paying medical tourists from Latin America and elsewhere are a small but lucrative segment of South Florida's healthcare industry, bringing in millions of dollars each year for local hospitals.
Such wealthy foreign patients likely are a target market for the new owners of Metropolitan Hospital of Miami, who may be planning a specialized surgical center that caters to international customers, according to people familiar with the sale and the licensing application on file with the state.
The hospital, which will be renamed Miami International Medical Center, is being sold to a subsidiary of Nueterra Healthcare, a Kansas-based consulting and management firm.
Nueterra issued a statement Friday that the company is evaluating Metropolitan Hospital and "the surrounding community and other factors in order to determine needs and the best possible next steps.''
The new hospital, read the statement, "draws on the power of Nueterra's extensive experience and global network to connect providers, coordinate services and create an exceptional patient experience that includes expanded consumer access.''
Amy Leiker, a Nueterra spokeswoman, declined to make any additional statements regarding the hospital's change of ownership or future plans.
But Metropolitan Hospital of Miami released its own statement Friday, saying that Nueterra has a "multifaceted remodel plan" and intends to renovate the nearly 50-year-old hospital to create "an upscale environment" similar to a "boutique hotel.''
"Miami International plans to work with the medical staff to provide more services, more technology, better accessibility and more convenient, streamlined processes,'' read the statement issued by Luis Allende, corporate director of communications for Metropolitan Hospital.
Metropolitan Hospital's statement went further to say that the new owners plan to expand the list of specialties and add new services, though those were not detailed.
But it's not clear from Nueterra's licensing application, on file with the state's Agency for Health Care Administration, that the new owners intend to dedicate the facility to its longtime clientele.
The hospital, located near Miami International Airport, was founded in 1963 by Cuban immigrants to serve their community.
Its patients are predominantly Hispanic, and many are seniors on Medicare and Medicaid, the federal and state health insurance programs for the elderly, poor and disabled, according to state records.
In its licensing application, which is pending approval from AHCA, Nueterra reports that the facility will remain an acute-care hospital.
But it will not have an emergency department. Nueterra also does not intend to participate in Medicare and Medicaid, the two largest public payers in the U.S. healthcare system.
That would leave privately insured and self-pay patients, including international medical tourists, an area of expertise for Nueterra, whose Latin America and Caribbean region operations are headquartered in Miami.
Wealthy foreign patients are a natural for Miami, said Sal Barbera, a former hospital executive who now teaches healthcare management at Florida International University.
"There's a great international following that comes here to South Florida,'' Barbera said.
Without an emergency room that by law must admit every critical patient and treat them until stabilized — and without the government regulations that hospitals accept when participating in Medicaid and Medicare — the Miami International Medical Center also will not have to deal with South Florida's significant uninsured population.
"No emergency room means you don't have to worry about the uninsured,'' Barbera said. "All admissions will be pre-admitted, probably with a down payment.''
Formerly called Pan American Hospital, Metropolitan changed ownership and names in 2007, when a Puerto Rican hospital chain — Sistema de Salud Metropolitano — bought the facility out of bankruptcy court for $34 million.
Nueterra declined to disclose the new sale price.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Oct. 7, 2012) – In its first matchup against a ranked opponent this season, the Rutgers volleyball team dropped the match in straight sets to No. 17 Louisville in Louisville, Ky., Saturday. The Scarlet Knights fell by set scores of 20-25, 13-25 and 18-25.
Rutgers (15-6, 1-5) struggled to find its form on offense, putting together a hitting percentage of .000. The squad recorded 24 kills, 20 assists, 53 digs and 3.0 team blocks. The Cardinals (16-2, 5-1) hit .256, notching 44 kills, 41 assists, 55 digs and 8.0 blocks. Rutgers moved to 0-9 all time against Louisville.
The Scarlet Knights kept the opening set close, trailing by just three late, 20-23, but couldn't catch the Cardinals. In the second game, Rutgers led 11-10, but Louisville went on a 15-2 run to close it out. The Scarlet Knights fell behind early in the final set and couldn't chip away at the Cardinals' lead to fall in three games.
Senior setter Stephanie Zielinski (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) notched her 12th-straight double-double and 16th of the season with 20 assists and a team-high 13 digs. Offensively, freshmen Sarah Schmid (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) and Megan Stephenson (Burbank, Calif.) led Rutgers with seven kills each.
Louisville's Lola Arslanbekova had a match-best 20 kills and set a new school record for career kills.
The Scarlet Knights return home for "Alumni Weekend," starting with Syracuse on Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. in College Ave. Gym. The squad will then take on Marquette on Oct. 14 at 2 p.m. in its "Dig Pink" match to raise awareness and help in the fight against breast cancer.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — More than 36,500 people in Montana signed up for insurance through the online marketplace central to the health care overhaul law, and now state officials will try to figure out how many more enrolled without using the exchange and how many were previously uninsured.
The 36,584 Montanans who selected plans through the federal exchange by the end of the open-enrollment period exceeded federal health officials' original target of 31,000, according to data released Thursday by the U.S Department of Health and Human Services. The figures include people allowed to sign up during a two-week extension because they had started their applications before the March 31 deadline expired.
But that number doesn't include those who bypassed the exchange to sign up for Affordable Care Act plans. For example, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana signed 20,000 people through the exchange but another 31,000 people offline, for a total of 51,000 during open enrollment, said spokesman John Doran.
Many people who signed up without going through the exchanges may not have qualified for the subsidies offered through the online marketplace, Doran said.
"That doesn't mean they didn't need it," he said.
Insurance Commissioner Monica Lindeen's office is putting together a survey to send to all of the state's insurers to find out how many policies were sold outside of the exchange and how many more people in Montana are insured compared to before the enrollment period began Oct. 1, said deputy commissioner Adam Schafer.
The survey also will attempt to find out how many people who signed up were previously uninsured and didn't just switch policies, he said.
The exchange data "doesn't give us the back side of the story and that's what we're going to try to find out with our survey," Schafer said.
The survey should be completed and sent to insurers sometime next week, he said.
Federal health officials said 55,675 people in Montana completed applications through the exchange and were eligible for coverage. Of those, 39,572 were eligible for financial assistance and 4,638 were eligible for Medicaid of the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Of the 36,584 people who selected plans, 53 percent are women and 31 percent are between the ages of 55 and 64.
More than half chose the second-lowest "silver" plans out of the four levels of coverage.

Need coupons? Join the club
Get together with like-minded savers and trade the Qs you can't use. Here's how to start your own clipping co-op.
Fellow frugalists don't tease them about their clipping habits, the way family and friends do. Other club members don't sigh and roll their eyes the way some cashiers do upon glimpsing a coupon folder.
"It's a supportive place to be frugal," says founding member Rochelle H., who lives in the San Diego area.
Starting your own clipping cooperative can save you money in two ways:
- Extra coupons mean extra savings at checkout.
- You can get those extra Qs without buying more copies of the Sunday paper.
How your group operates is up to you. The E.C. Couponistas club has 30 members and a (private) Facebook page, but a casual meet-up of two or three friends with scissors could work just as well.
Or how about colleagues? In an article called "Starting a small coupon exchange club," About.com writer Donna L. Montaldo suggests that small groups could be formed at the workplace (at lunch or during breaks, of course), child-care centers, places of worship, health clubs, neighborhood organizations, theater groups or senior centers.
Montaldo suggests keeping a list/notebook of different members' needs (baby products? makeup? cat litter?) and any brand preferences. Since coupons aren't only for groceries, save a page for special events; for example, a club member planning a bridal shower might ask for crafts-store discounts.
'A little validation'
The E.C. Couponistas make those requests on the Facebook page. Their group is organized to the point of having written bylaws, to weed out people who ask for lots of coupons but don't reciprocate. Or like the guy who joined and then tried to sell coupon inserts to other members. (Selling coupons is against the law.)
A less formal approach works, too. Tiffany Ivanovsky, who blogs at MyLitter.com, sometimes invites students to show up early at her coupon seminars and trade Qs. Most people take only a few at a time; once everyone has had a crack at each category, Ivanovsky invites them to go back for seconds.
Coupons aren't the only things that get shared, according to the Houston-based blogger. Talking with other coupon users provides "a little validation," and a chance to meet with like-minded savers.
"You can build yourself a community," Ivanovsky says.
No matter what kind of club you craft, keep these tips in mind:
- Meet in public places at first (and maybe forever).
- Choose family-friendly spots. "Most people doing this are moms with kids," says Josie K. of the SouthernCaliSaver blog.
- If you clip at the site, clean up after yourself.
- Don't be the person who takes a handful of coupons at each meeting but rarely contributes. Nobody likes that person.
Two special events
In honor of National Coupon Month, Savings.com and Valpak.com are sponsoring a pair of coupon-related programs in the coming week.
Twitter party: On Thursday, connect with other coupon fans by following hashtag #SavingsNation on Twitter. The party starts at 9 p.m. EDT. Three prizes will be awarded, one of them "major," according to a Savings.com spokeswoman.
Synchronized grocery coupon classes: On Monday, Sept. 24, members of Savings.com's "DealPro" community will teach coupon skills in 21 cities in 16 states. To find a class near you, click here.

"You just have to slow down," said Lt. Steve Goen. "Give yourself more room between the cars in front of you and prepare to stop sooner than what you're normally used to."
Lt. Goen says it usually takes about a week after the first snowfall for people to realize they need to leave home earlier to give themselves some extra time to get to work.

The Montreal Canadiens' search for a new general manager continues with one less candidate in the mix, as mlive.com reports that Detroit Red Wings assistant GM Jim Nill passed on the front office opportunity.
Nill explained to mlive.com's Ansar Khan that it was not the right time to go because of an illness in his family.
"I had two great talks with Montreal," Nill told mlive.com. "I was interested, they were interested. But it's not the right time."
According to the Michigan-based news website, Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch gave Nill permission and his full blessing to speak to the Canadiens after the club called to talk with him.
Nill has been the an assistant GM in Detroit under Ken Holland for 14 seasons and is highly regarded as an NHL executive ready to make a move up to become a general manager.
While Nill doesn't have an out clause in his contract this season, there are different out clauses in each of the four remaining years of his contract.
"My goal is to become a general manager," Nill told milve.com. "There will be opportunities down the road."
Files from mlive.com were used for this report.

Renew your relationship in the new yearThese simple things have the power to deliver big benefits to your relationship.
Most resolutions are simply made to be broken. But instead of vowing to lose 10 pounds or save more money this year, consider pledging to give your relationship a boost. Read on for expert advice on the little things you can do to live even more happily ever after.
Video: Best advice for couples
Act happy to be happy. You don't have to be Meryl Streep to put in a convincing performance -- faking it eventually leads to actually feeling it. "People often think that they act a certain way because of the way they feel, but to a great degree, we feel because of the way we act," says happiness expert Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project and Happier at Home. "If you act in a loving, attentive and patient way, you set up habits that are loving, attentive habits."
Get more sleep. Being sleep-deprived has become a badge of honor, but not clocking the right amount of sleep can damage your health and your relationships. "This is something that's so basic, but it's really important to get enough sleep," Rubin says. "If you're chronically sleep-deprived, you feel edgy all the time, and that leads to fights at night when you're really tired."
Solve problems so everyone wins. "Work together to solve anything that comes up," says Tina B. Tessina, PhD (aka "Dr. Romance"), a psychotherapist and author of Money, Sex and Kids: Stop Fighting About the Three Things That Can Ruin Your Marriage. "Don't get stuck on who's right or wrong -- instead focus on what will solve the problem. When each of you feels that the other has your best interests at heart, problems are solved not 'my way' or 'your way' but so that both are happy with the solution."
Kick your worst habits this year
Give out gold stars. Odds are, you're already thinking about how awesome your mate is when he unloads the dishwasher or cooks up a special meal -- but you're not sharing that positivity. "It's important to show appreciation, to actually voice it and express it -- even when they're doing something that's their job," Rubin advises. That extra positivity will make your mate feel that all those little things he does matter.
Bing: Renew your relationship
Argue for the opposition. Next time you start making a case for how you've been wronged in your relationship, try switching sides and defending your mate. "You can always come up with many examples of how your husband never helps you get ready for a trip, for example -- but you need to think about the other side of the argument," Rubin suggests. "In many cases, you can make an equally compelling counterargument. And when I start thinking about how my husband really does help us get ready for a trip, my anger goes away, and I don't get dragged down by petty irritations of everyday life."
The most practical relationship advice ever
Underreact to problems. Flipping out over that bill you forgot to pay or that massive red-wine spill your mate made on the (brand-new) white sofa will only add more drama to an already tough situation. "If one person gets very agitated, the other person picks up on that, and the tension rises," Rubin says. "What's done is done, and keeping a sense of humor helps make dealing with it more pleasant."
Prioritize your relationship. It can be easy to get wrapped up in your never-ending to-do list, but make sure that you put at least as much time and effort into preserving the most important relationship in your life. "Your relationship is the foundation and support system for everything else," Tessina says. "No matter what you want to accomplish, you'll be more likely to succeed if you and your partner are on the same page about it. Learning to work together and not take your love for granted will enhance every day you're together."

It comes as no shock that earlier this year it was predicted $19.5bn would be spent on SEO and PPC in 2012 and that this investment would continue to increase further in the years to come.

Fung plays the rich daughter and puts her natural talents on ample display in her screen debut.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Justin Verlander's five shutout innings at frosty Target Field held up for Detroit, and the defending American League champion Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 4-2 on Monday.
With the gametime temperature at 35 degrees and the wind blowing at 17 mph, fans had to bundle up. But opening day is always a draw, as evidenced by the announced crowd of 38,282, a sellout by Twins guidelines.
Phil Coke got the last two outs for the first save by the Tigers' closer committee. Prince Fielder had two hits and an RBI to help spoil Vance Worley's first start for the Twins, who left 12 runners on, including the bases loaded in the seventh.

Smokers slowly build up nicotine levels to a peak, rather than receiving a burst of the drug in their brain with each drag, according to researchers at the Duke University Medical Center.
Vertex News reported March 9 that researchers who used PET scans to track brain activity during smoking also found that nicotine took longer to reach the brains of addicted smokers, possibly because their smoking-damaged lungs worked less efficiently. Eventually, however, both addicted and non-addicted smokers had the same levels of nicotine in their brains.
The study was published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Synopsis: Director Mario Caiano, best known for the gorgeous horror film Amanti d'Oltretomba, made eleven Westerns in his career, but none as strange as this one. Perhaps it might help some to recall that the TV-series Kung Fu was enjoying great popularity at around the same time employing a similar East-meets-West theme. This film is much more grim and bloody, however, as it tells the tale of a Chinese man (Chen Lee) who travels to San Francisco in 1882. Looking for a better life, all he finds is scum -- ...

The Swiss Artist Talks Art and Celebrity With Curator and Commentator Neville Wakefield
A banana, an egg and a carrot are just a few of the surreal masks devised by Urs Fischer in this special selection from his latest series, The Problem with Paintings, from the upcoming fourth issue of the biannual magazine Garage. Known for confronting our notions of identity and celebrity in works such as Problem Paintings, where images of Hollywood icons are obscured with foods and household objects, here the Zurich-born artist continues the theme by playfully casting real-life subjects to interact with their fruit and vegetable disguises. Garage is the brainchild of Russian collector and LACMA trustee Dasha Zhukova, whose ground-breaking Garage Center for Contemporary Culture opened in Moscow in 2008 to great acclaim. With a cover fashion story featuring works by Cindy Sherman shot by Patrick Demarchelier, the next edition of the cross-disciplinary title seeks to challenge the concept of modern identity—and the vanity that may accompany it. In this interview excerpt, Fischer sits down with curator Neville Wakefield to bridge the everyday with pop and fine art.
Neville Wakefield: Are you trying to erase the distinction between formal artwork and work that deals with pop culture? I'm thinking about your series of Problem Paintings. Are they mash-ups of pop culture and everyday objects?
Urs Fischer: For the Garage project we tried to see how it would be if you didn't print it, if you juxtaposed these things in real life. So they're all photos of things in real life—a kind of homemade version, where you lay actual eggs on a face and then photograph it.
NW: What's the logic of the juxtaposition? Is it like the surrealists' idea of the sewing machine and the umbrella, only here the chance encounter is between, say, a pickle and a Hollywood star?
UF: It's different. There are usually two photos—not in this magazine, but in other ones I've made. It's basically a collage, a juxtaposition. The funny thing is that fruits are more universal than movie stars.
NW: People want to recognize the Hollywood side of it, not the fruit side of it. But everyone knows a kiwi, not everyone knows Rita Hayworth.
UF: You have to put something that they want to see behind. Most of the people in these paintings are from old black-and-white movie stills that I've really worked on. The kids have no clue who these people are. Zero. They don't even know Kirk Douglas.
Playtime With Celebrated Creatives Courtesy of Dasha Zhukova's Title
Childhood classics such as snakes & ladders are transformed into a ghoulish sculpture by artist Ashley Bickerton and the sweet pastels of Candy Land are given new twists and turns by writer Derek Blasberg in this compendium of games, selected from the latest edition of Dasha Zhukova's biannual fashion and art magazine, Garage. Zhukova launched the IRIS Foundation, a non-profit organization out of which arose The Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in 2008, housed in an imposing former bus depot in her native Moscow, Russia. Her cutting-edge magazine followed in 2011, mobilizing Zhukova's stellar network in and out of the art world to contribute to the lushly printed, avant-garde title, due for release on February 9. NOWNESS catches up with the entrepreneur, philanthropist, collector, curator and editor for an extra look at the game-plan behind the printed page.
What person alive or dead would you most like to have dinner with?
Dasha Zhukova: Catherine the Great.
What's your favorite after dinner game?
DZ: Charades.
In another life what career would you have?
DZ: A pastry chef.
What, in terms of branding, do you hold in high esteem?
DZ: I think the most successful brands are those that are true to themselves. If you try to be something you're not, the public catches on very quickly.
How do you feel that brand collaborations affect an artist's identity?
DZ: I don't think they do, necessarily, unless they are doing them too often or what they are doing is too far off from their traditional practice. If anything, I think artist collaborations can greatly help a brand's image if they are an organic match.
NASA's Manned Space Program is Immortalized in the Filmmaker's Eerie Analog Ode
Artist and filmmaker Marco Brambilla salutes the golden age of space travel with Atlantis (OV-104), a video portrait of NASA's beloved last manned shuttle that distills the dark, unsettling calm of the great beyond. Flickering images captured by an early 80s Ikegami camera recall early space transmissions and deep-sea exploration shots as they reveal the ghostly shape of the film's eponymous spacecraft. Brambilla enhanced the organic quality of the footage by re-photographing segments of film through a vintage Sony tube monitor. "I wanted the coverage to feel imprecise, like a spotlight on the wreckage of a submarine," explains the internationally exhibited installation artist and Kanye West collaborator, whose own enthusiasm for space travel began with a visit to the Kennedy Space Center as a child. With the help of public arts organization Creative Time, New York-based Brambilla scored access to the seasoned vessel on the day before it left to be restored for its debut at NASA's Florida headquarters, where it will be on display beginning this Friday, over a quarter century after its first flight. Atlantis (OV-104) premieres at Christopher Grimes Gallery in Santa Monica the following day. "Atlantis is the last of a national program that was once the world's most prestigious and experimental," says Brambilla. "This marks the end of a huge effort that sought to bring people together."
Source of the name
Atlantis was named after a two-masted sailing ship that was operated for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute from 1930-1966.

My comment posted a little prematurely when I tried to log in, lol... To continue, scaling could work for some things as long as benefits could only be added, not taken away. There may be other ways to help I'm not thinking of.. I also agreed with the people who said all benefits should not be stripped for the remaining members, just because the guild leader decides to move to another server. A game is only fun if the enjoyable aspects more than outweigh the frustration. And an uneven playing field is always frustrating in a multiplayer game.

The owners of about a dozen goats at a popular field in southeast Portland are trying to figure out who would steal one of them, stain its horns and then leave it tied up to a chain-link fence with a bungee cord.
Someone took Bambi, a Nigerian Dwarf goat, out of the field near Southeast Belmont Street and Southeast 10th Avenue sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning, the current owners told FOX 12.
A passer-by called Mike Redmond, the former owner of the goats, early Sunday afternoon after spotting Bambi tied up to the field's front gate.
The field has become a popular attraction since the goats first appeared several years ago.
"We guessed that somebody had taken her," Redmond said.
Bambi's horns had obviously been stained or painted, he said.
"They're definitely different than everybody else's horns," said Natalie Denny, who came to visit the goats on Monday evening with her two sons and a friend.
The gate around the field had been locked, so the current owners of the goats think someone had to break in or jump over the chain-link fence to get Bambi.
"We don't know if it was Saturday night or maybe it was Sunday morning or if she was only gone for an hour or what," said Christopher "Bix" Frankonis, who's with the group Urban Goats PDX.
The important thing is Bambi is OK, her owners said. But they hope whoever took her feels ashamed for what they did.
"The safest and healthiest place for them is inside this field, where we have them," Frankonis said. "Where we can all keep an eye on them, and people are monitoring them all the time. And the police drive by to keep an eye on them and help us out."
The current owners of the goats want to emphasize that there is no trespassing allowed on the property.
They have filed a police report about what happened to Bambi, they said. Call Portland police if you have any information about the case.
