What is the swine flu (H1N1 influenza A virus) and what causes it?
The 2009 swine flu virus (otherwise known as H1N1 influenza) is caused by an H1N1 influenza A virus. H1N1 influenza viruses are the normal cause of influenza in humans and may also infect other animals, including pigs. This particular variant is an example of a virus that likely originated in swine and has mutated (changed its biological characteristics) so it is now affecting humans.
What are the symptoms of swine flu (H1N1 influenza A virus)?
Symptoms of swine flu vary widely and are similar to symptoms of seasonal flu. Infected individuals may experience
- fever,
- cough,
- sore throat,
- body aches,
- headache,
- chills, and
- fatigue.
Vomiting and diarrhea have been reported and severe cases may result in respiratory failure and even death.
How is swine flu (H1N1 flu) treated?
Like seasonal flu, most people will recover from swine flu (H1N1 flu) within a week without any antiviral medications. The U.S. centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all individuals with suspected or confirmed swine flu infection be considered for treatment with antiviral agents, especially hospitalized patients and patients at higher risk for complications.
Antiviral agents prevent, shorten, and reduce the severity of flu. Antiviral agents used for treatment and prevention of swine flu are oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Swine flu is resistant to amantadine (Symmetrel) and rimantadine (Flumadine). Oseltamivir and zanamivir are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment and prevention of flu in adults and children. They are most effective when administered within two days of an infection. Oseltamivir is administered as a capsule, and zanamivir is administered by oral inhalation.

Bruce Spizer has written eight books about The Beatles, including his latest one "The Beatles Are Coming". He talks about the band's arrival in America and everything that happened after that. He also wanted to set the record straight about the Fab Four.
"I wanted to correct a lot of the myths out there that were wrong and along the way...(learned) a lot of fascinating things. If I had done the book as a a work of fiction, people would have laughed and said 'nah, nothing like that could happen'".
For example?
"You had Capitol records, a major record company...turn down the group four times where they wouldn't release their records in the States.
Bruce also deconstructs myths like this one...
"One of the things was Paul's always fond of saying The Beatles weren't going to come to America until they had a number one hit, and the problem with that was their manage booked them in mid- November to be on The Ed Sullivan Show. At the time they had nowhere near a number one hit. but if you listen to what Paul says carefully, what he says is we didn't want to be on tour, second on the bill to Frankie Avalon or Bobby Vinton. So what Paul was really saying was we wouldn't tour America until we had a number one hit."
Bottom line, Bruce says Paul, George, Ringo, and John will be around long after we're gone.
"50 years from now people will still be talking about The Beatles the way you talk about Mozart, Beethoven...the truly great music is in fact timeless."
Bruce will be talking about The Beatles Tuesday night at The Grammy Museum.

- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

About This Condition
Menopause is the cessation of the monthly female menstrual cycle. Women who have not had a menstrual period for a year are considered postmenopausal.
Most commonly, menopause takes place when a woman is in her late forties or early fifties. Women who have gone through menopause are no longer fertile. Menopause is not a disease and cannot be prevented. Many hormonal changes occur during menopause. Postmenopausal women are at higher risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, presumably because of a decrease in the production of estrogen or other hormones.

Jan 23 Emile Griffith New York L 15
Joey Archer. Hey I remember the guy well. Steel chinned, fast, great jab. Smart smart fighter who Joey G KNEW he couldnt beat at that advanced period of his career when he opped to fight Carter instead of the number one guy who was Joey. Still he IMO beat Griffith the first time and the second one was a pick em. He rated with the best of a great era and was certainly on a par with Griff, Tiger, Carter, Rodriguez, Joey G etc...
I agree wholeheartedly with the Rock on this.
I watched the entire Griffith V Archer II fight last night.
Man oh man was Archer pissed off at the decision. Freddie Brown who was in his corner said something to Emile and Emile went balistic. Don Dunphy could not get Emile to come over for the interview at first, but Syd Martin and Clancy finally got him over as he tried to get back and say something back to Archer and Brown.
Emile tried to congratulate Archer for a good fight and Joey turned his back on Emile and it ignited a spark there for awhile.
Now, I don't mind telling you that the hiding of Joey Archer and seclusion he is kept in has disturbed me for a long time. He has been literally hidden away like Anne Frank in an attic from all boxing people by his brothers and family.
What the hell is with that. If he is sick why can't people reach out to him. This is been going on for years, no pictures, no news, no whereabouts with his brothers always hiding him from the public.
Does anyone know the truth of what is going on there?
Archer can thank Teddy Brenner for not getting a shot at Giardello. Right after Joey beat Tiger, Brenner said Giardello would probably fight Archer because he was the lightest puncher of the contenders. Since when did Giardello have to pick a guy because of punching power.
Another reason Giardello didn't meet Archer was because Giardello wasn't and hadn't been licenced in New York since 1956 because manager Tony Ferrente had a criminal record. Even after Ferrente released Joey in '63, the NY commission was reluctant to reinstate Joey. After he won the title NY sent out feelers and Joey at first was stubborn because he wasn't going to kiss up to them.
Joey wanted the Carter fight because he thought Carter would draw more money than Archer in Philadelphia. Archer was no draw in New York, let alone Philly. He did 8.000 paid for Carter and Tiger, hardly numbers to entice Giardello who was looking for one big money match. Everybody in Philly knew he had lost his reflexes after the second Rivero fight. Only his guile let him edge Carter, when they fought. Plus Giardello knew that Archer would have a hometown advantage at the Garden where he would run and land two jabs and get the decision.
I still think Giardello would have beaten Archer as easily as Holley Mims did (even though Mims didnt get the nod he deserved). And Giardello was aware of the Archer-Mims decision.
I had a lot of respect for Archers boxing skills but to say that he was a lock to beat Giardello is really a stretch Rocky. You think he would have won, I think Giardello would have won.
By the way Archer was featured in RING Magazine around 2,000 right after "THE HURRICANE" came out. He said he was doing well. He also mentioned he was at Phila. Convention Hall the night Giardello and Carter met and had Giardello winning 10 to 5 in rounds. I was also at Convention Hall that night but had I and 4 of my friends had it a lot closer. I was 8 to 7 for Joey.
I truly believe had Carter fought the same fight that he did against Georgie Benton he would have won over the faded Giardello that night but he let Joey dictate the later rounds and lost. In their primes a properly conditioned Giardello would have taken Carter and Archer to school.
Chuck H.
I never did know what to make of Archer. On one hand, he definitely was a difficult fighter and a bit of a "spoiler", but on the other hand, he was known to get away with a lot of questionable decisions on his home turf in New York. His "win" over Holley Mims was a definite robbery, and his win over Tiger (which I never saw) was considered questionable as well. Still, he probably did deserve a shot against Giardello, or Tiger after he unseated Giardello.
Incidentally, does anyone know any details about his loss to Don Fullmer (which apparently derailed him from getting a shot at Tiger)? Also, who was ranked higher in early '66, Archer or Benvenuti?
Once and for all does anyone on earth know where Joey is, how he is doing, can he speak, is he as ill as Ali? Why does his brother hide his whereabouts for so long. What is the true story there, and does anyone in the NJ Hall of Fame know where Joey himself truly is, not his brothers but him?
The RING magazine ran a story by Robert Cassidy on Joey Archer (May 2001).
"Today, Archer lives quietly in upstate Newq York, near Albany."
"After leaving the ring, Archer invested his earnings and purchased three taverns in New York City. He also was a member of the International Longshorman's Association..........Today, he is retired and lives quietly and comfortably with his wife Joan in Latham, New York."
Thanks for the infor.
I think if anyone could find him it would be Henry Hascup, I am of the belief that no one has seen Joey and his brother reportedly has kept his status, whereabouts and Joey's state of health a verly heavily guarded secret for a long amount of years or so it seems. Not one picture of him as he is today, not one interview, absolutely nothing that I have seen or heard.
one of the pictures in the RING 2001 article showed Jimmy and Joey as they attended the Third Annual Boxers Luncheon at the downtown Athletic Club in NYC the previous month and Joey looked terrific. A description from the story:
"Archer, 62, looked trim and not far off his fighting weight of 160 pounds. His good health and appearance can be attributed to a walking regimen that reaches 10 miles per day. At the luncheon, he moved among the fighters in the Heisman room with an unassuming dignity that seemed to set him apart.
*** Archer seemed to be in great shape for this affair 7 years ago. ***
That is wonderful news to me.
I met Joey only once back at ringside in MSG at one of the big fights. He sat almost next to me with one guy in between us.
He was very regal, respectful and sharp. He was very nice to me and we talked boxing as much as I could with him without disturbing him.
Can anyone on the Zone find a picture of Joey attending that dinner at age 61, I would love to see it. I would love to write to him too if possible.
Thank you,
I would be interested to know in what order you guys would rate the following three fighters.
Joey Archer.
George Benton.
Holly Mimms,
Tough call in my opinion, made even harder if you believe the talk that Benton & Mimms we Mob controlled and often boxed to order.
Benton was NOT mob controlled. It was well known in Philly that his manager, Herman Diamond, would not play ball with the mob, thus Benton never getting a national TV shot until 1963. Archer's brother Jimmy, who managed him, was said to have stayed clear of the mob to an extent but had a very cozy relationship with Teddy Brenner of the Garden, so for that reason he was able to get some big bouts. Mims was managed by Benny Trotta of East Baltimore, who was a big man from "the Strip" and had some "associations" but was said to be a fine man who was well liked by Mims and most of his other fighters.
Benton DID get one nationally televised fight before '63, losing to Mims in 1958
at Miami Beach. Sorry for missing that in the last post.
All three of them were exceptional experienced class A+ ring warriors whose like is not in the world anymore.
The bout with Archer and Mims is one I watched about a month ago studying it very closely especially where Mims almost dropped Archer.
Joey's chin, his will power and pride were top shelf, as was his balance, jab, timing and ring generalslhip. Many argue he was given gift decisions as a Garden fighter which is hard to argue with in some fights.
The left hook Rubin hit him with in the 10th round of their bout was a wallop that would have dropped most anyone for a 10 count. Joey had iron balls and came to win with a fierce mental attitude.
Mims was so cagey and crafty, a sneaky puncher who was always in the gym and took fights like Archie Moore on short notice. He would fight anyone and had a very sneaky and deadly right hand when he was on.
Benton was the strongest of the three and was more of a solid boxer puncher with a rock hard jaw and had a great one-two down the middle knocking out some good guys with that combination. His legs and shoulders were strong and he was a solid big midldleweight.
All of them were capable of beating the other on a given night. I rate Mims very high for experience and craft, Benton high for rugged durability and boxing ability on defense with power in both hands, and Joey as a winning fighter with great determintion, puzzle solving abilities and a jab which he made work against the big punchers like Tiger and Carter. He was low on power but could time a guy and drop you or hurt you badly with his great timing and snap.
He staggered Dick Tiger better than Carter, Hank, Fullmer or Fernandez believe me I saw it live. I grew up watching them all and they have my undying respect.
Reply: I agree. I boxed with him in D.C. for about 2 weeks staying with a friend. Mims that is, and he treated me great, like a big brother. He also was bigger than I thought he was in person as was George Benton when I first met him and stayed friends. It is hard to believe they were 160lbs althought look at Pavilik today and Hopkins. Mims and Benton, even Archer had big frames on them, very rugged skeletal mechanics as I like to say.Originally Posted by phlboxarc
My uncle, Joey Archer, is alive and healthy. He's just a private person. After my dad died, (my dad and Joey were best friend), he helped our family- he's like a second father to me. He's a wonderful man and I hope he's around forever.

I purchased two of these chandeliers for my entryway and hallway. For my previous home (a condo), I had ordered this line from Overstock in other styles and was very happy with them - received numerous compliments from guests. This style was slightly larger than I had expected, but after installing them, they looked great. Given the design, they were slightly harder to hang straight than the other lights we had purchased. My husband was a little annoyed, but I was so pleased with the final product, that it was worth the extra work. Also, I was happy that the crystals were pre-installed on this light. On the previous lights I had ordered in other styles, I had to put on all the crystals. That saved a ton of time!
This fixture was easy to install. The crystals are just beautiful ... I used 4 60W bulbs and the lighting for my small bedroom is good. This light replaced an old 1950's standard flush mount light and completely updated the look of the entire bedroom. This is the 2nd light fixture I have purchased from Overstock and I continue to be impressed with the Quality, Price and Selection!
This is soooo pretty. All the crystals were attached. We hung ourselves which was probably more challenging for us than it would be for a professional or experienced person. I used 15 or 20w bulbs and love it. As others say it glistens when you look directly at it, it has a little crystal attachment at the very bottom that was a little bit of a pleasant surprise as it makes it look pretty even looking up directly at bottom. Good weight. Feels good quality. Gorgeous. In my entry. 6x8' space
Up close this is not a super expensive looking light fixture. The metal is not very heavy and some of the parts are cheap looking. However, once you hang it and it is a couple feet away, it looks like a very expensive light fixture. The rest of my fixtures are from another site and it blends right in with them. I used this is our entry with a turquoise ceiling above it and I think it's my new favorite part of the house.
I have this hanging in my hallway. When I received it, I was afraid it might be too large for the space but we hung it anyway. Thank goodness, because once you get it up, it is absolutely beautiful. Because it uses 60 watt bulbs, the lighting isn't overwhelming but is enhanced by the crystals surround the lamp. If I had another appropriate space, I would order another!
Way beyond my expectations! Perfect for our guest room.
I pondered for several months on this chandelier. I replaced a 1977 gold w/this exquisite piece. I have received nothing but compliments. I'm going through some major remod, as our house is circa 77. My GC was at aw when he opened the box. It is bigger than I originally thought, which fits perfect in my high ceiling foyer. You will not be disappointed. One of my friends best described it..."I feel like a little kid under a Christmas tree. Simply at awww." It's beyond elegant, yet chic and timeless. I absolutely love this piece and am now hoping to buy the matching longer chandelier for my dinning room. Overstock, you continue to impress me. Thank you!
This is a beautiful light with crystal that sparkles just enough. It is the focal point in the bedroom. I want one for each room but that would be to much!
This chandelier is apsolutley GORGEOUS!!! It sparkles so much and gives a very romantic effect. Just beautiful! Definitely worth the money!
The light is beautiful as others have stated. The crystals come attached. Very important to note if you want the sparkle you cannot used soft white bulbs. We purchased florescent bulbs and there was no sparkle which other reviewers talked about. We replaced the with clear candelabra and that is when the light glistened. The bronze looks black and I prefer that for my foyer. I am happy with my purchase. I like a little glitz!!

Gel, cool sleep, technology among top Vegas stories
It's a new year and a new Las Vegas Market. Here are some of the storylines that will play out in mattress and sleep accessory showrooms:
More interest in gel foams. Some producers say they have switched all of their memory foam lines to gel memory foam, so strong is the appeal of gel these days.
More talk about cooler sleep. This is part of the gel story, but some producers are adding technology to provide additional benefits. In new Posturepedic and Stearns & Foster beds, Sealy is using gel memory foam and Outlast material, which it says is more effective at removing excess heat than standard memory foam or gel foam. Simmons is using Aircool and gel foams in new Beautyrest beds, and adds TruTemp Gel in some beds to absorb, store and release excessive warmth to keep sleepers in a comfortable temperature zone, that producer says. Restonic offers Outlast with some of its new gel beds, and E.S. Kluft has temperature-stabilizing materials in a new Aireloom line.
More technology in beds. In addition to using phase-change materials to regulate sleeping temperatures, producers are upping their technology offerings in several ways. Reverie has a new high-tech adjustable bed base that it says can transform the bed into a mobile hotspot. Kingsdown is showing a Sleep Smart system that uses technology to "read" a sleeper's body signature and sleep patterns and creates an individualized sleep surface. PatienTech's BodiTrak Smart Bed continuously monitors body position and adjusts the bed's air support for maximum comfort.
New sleep accessory products and programs. Fabrictech enters the aromatherapy category with a line of mattress and pillow protectors that can be scented with various sachet packets. Protect-A-Bed tackles a big problem with its SnoreBeGone sleep positioning system, which consists of three layers of foam and can be customized to the sleeper. Caber Sure Fit is introducing a new total mattress protection warranty, while Glideaway has a new high-end mattress protector made from natural wool. And Wright of Thomasville has a new line of illuminated foot protectors.
More interest in natural beds. Organic Mattresses Inc. and Naturepedic are touting latex beds certified to a new organic standard, while Pure LatexBliss is introducing new latex beds made from a biorubber product derived from the guayule plant. And Vi-Spring has a new mattress packed with Shetland Isle wool and Moosburger long-strand horsetail
New exhibitors. Southerland makes its Las Vegas debut with its introduction of the Response Sleep System by Sharper Image. This is Southerland's first presentation of the Sharper Image line, a specialty line it developed after two years of consumer and retail research. And WorldBed Studio, bedding veteran David Farley's new company, also makes its debut.

WINDSOR HEIGHTS - The FBI, Marshall County Search and Rescue Team and Windsor Heights Police were involved in a search of the backyard of a home at the intersection of Francis Avenue and Sarko Street Tuesday morning.
Village Police Chief Ulrich Utt said the search came following a tip that human remains were buried in the yard and two items dug from the yard were sent for testing.
But he said neither item, before testing, helped to confirm or dispute the tip.
Utt said owners of the home, whose names he didn't release, cooperated with the search, which involved K-9 units.
He said he couldn't say whether an arrest will be made.

Bill McKibben is an environmental activist and the founder of 350.org, an organization that's building a global movement to solve the climate crisis.
Bill McKibben is the author of numerous books—including The End of Nature. Published in 1999, it is considered to be the first book on climate change written for a general audience. His latest book is Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet. Bill McKibben spoke with Jessica Knoblauch, associate editor of the Earthjustice Quarterly Magazine.
Jessica Knoblauch: Bill McKibben, welcome to Down to Earth. Between Hurricane Sandy and last summer's record drought, climate scientists' warnings of a warmer planet with more extreme weather are coming true. Still, the climate change connection is barely mentioned in the media or by our politicians. Why do you think that is?
Bill McKibben: Well, I think our politicians are completely scared by the fossil fuel industry. One party is bought, and the other party is scared. It's the richest industry on earth and they've been able to keep people from speaking out and from legislating, and that's why we've had essentially no action for 20 years, and it's time that it ends.
Jessica: And given the current legislative logjam and the inability of Congress to pass a climate bill, environmentalists have been scratching their heads trying to figure out why this issue tanked amongst the politicians and our public. One problem, as you pointed out in a recent Rolling Stone article, is that environmentalists have been hesitant to make the fossil fuel industry a villain. Why is that and what is your organization, 350.org, doing to hold industry accountable?
Bill: The night after the election, we are launching a 20-cities-in-20-nights road show across America with all kinds of friends. We're calling it the Do The Math tour, and you can find out if it's coming near you at math.350.org. The point of doing it is to really to direct this movement now at the fossil fuel industry.
We've spent 20 years trying to persuade our politicians to do something and it's become clear that our Congress is kind of the, you know, customer service department for the fossil fuel industry; the ones that you get put on hold with for a very long time. And after two decades of listening to the cheesy music, it's time to hang up and go talk to the guys that actually run the place. We're going to try and launch a divestment movement on college campuses to get them out of stock in the fossil fuel industry, same thing in churches and pension funds. We're going to try and spur some straight on civil disobedience at shareholder meetings and things like that. We are going to try and revoke the social license of the fossil fuel industry.
Jessica: Interesting. And as I understand it, Do The Math focuses on a couple of very crucial numbers involving climate change. Can you talk about a little bit about why you decided on those numbers?
Bill: This came out of a piece that I wrote for Rolling Stone this summer, a piece that went strangely viral and one of the most shared pieces in their long history. The piece laid out the most important numbers about climate change really since the early science. They're easy, and the first one is two degrees. The worlds' governments have agreed that that's as much as we should let the climate warm. It's actually too much. The one degree we've warmed already melts the Arctic, and we really don't want to find out what two degrees is. But it's the only line the governments have drawn and that we can begin to hold them accountable to.
Second number is 565 gigatons of carbon. That's how much scientists can say we can burn, and still have a chance of staying below two degrees. At current rates of emission, it would take us about 15 years to get there, so that's bad.
Much worse is the third number: 2,800 gigatons, or about five times that 565 limit. That 2,800 gigatons is how much the fossil fuel industry and the countries that operate like fossil fuel companies, think Kuwait or Venezuela, that's how much they already have in their reserves, counted up, ready to burn. It's still below the ground, but it's going to come up unless we stop them because it's what their share price is based on, it's what they borrow money against. That's their business. So there is no longer much room for speculation or wishful thinking or doubt about the future unless we intervene in a decisive way. The future is written in those numbers and the future is very hot and very bleak.
Jessica: You've said that before that, you know, in terms of climate change we're losing the fight, badly and quickly. So what gives you hope that we can still turn things around?
Bill: We are finally building a movement which we've not had, really, around this issue. In the last four years, 350.org has built a big worldwide movement. We operate in every country but North Korea. And I don't know if we will be able to get big enough, quick enough to match the financial power of the fossil fuel industry or not. I just don't know. We showed last year that when we managed to slow down for a while the construction of the XL Keystone Pipeline that we can figure out how to stand up to the fossil fuel industry. The challenge is, "Can we do it fast enough?" And I am loathe to predict, but we're sure going to try.
Jessica: One of your most recent books, Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet, talks about the need to start adapting to this new, warmer planet. But I've noticed that recently fossil fuel industry leaders have also been talking about adapting to climate change, noting that climate change is simply an "engineering problem." How do your views on adaptation differ from what the energy industry is now touting?
Bill: The CEO of Exxon said, "It's an engineering problem with an engineering solution." And someone asked him what he meant and he said "Oh, well if we need to move our crop production areas, then we will." This is fantasy talk. Crop production areas are also known as farms. We already have them everyplace that there is soil. Just because these guys melted the Arctic for us doesn't mean we can go plant corn in the tundra. There is no soil to put it in. So the way we differ from the fossil fuel industry is in being reality based.
Jessica: Right. That's a very good point! Given that the planet is already changing, what are your thoughts about geo-engineering? It seems to come up every couple of months as a possible way out of this whole problem.
Bill: Well, we are already geo-engineering things. That's what climate change is, really. We are filling the atmosphere with CO2 and there are people who think if we go and add a bunch of sulfur to the mix that we could turn the sky white and block some of the incoming sunlight and that might compensate. That seems like the kind of solution that alcoholics come up with.
Some want to keep doing what they want to keep doing, without changing. And there is no particularly good scientific reasoning to think they will work, and the side effects may be, only certainly will be large and horrible. The computer modeling seems to indicate that it will remove the monsoons of the Asian subcontinent, which would be bad news for the couple of billion people living there. It would also do nothing to even begin to address the overriding problem of ocean acidification that comes with carbon. So for me, by far the smarter solution would be to get off fossil fuel and onto renewable energy.
Jessica: In the past you've said we're not going to solve global warming one solar panel at a time. This is such a big issue. If personal actions won't stop climate change, what can we do as individuals to solve it?
Bill: We can come together with other individuals. It's a very good idea to put in the right light bulbs, and I have solar panels all over my roof. That's what's running the phone I'm talking on you with! But I don't try to fool myself that it's going to solve global warming. That requires structural reform. It requires limiting the power of the fossil fuel industry. It requires making them, like every other industry on Earth, to pay to put out their waste instead of getting to dump their carbon into the atmosphere for free. And that requires that we take them on and their political power.
Jessica: Well speaking of political power, in 2009 for the first time the U.S. Chamber of Commerce surpassed Republican and Democratic national committees on political spending. The following year more than 90 percent of the Chamber's cash went to GOP candidates, many of whom that deny the existence of global warming. Given that the green movement is vastly outspent by the fossil fuel industry, what can green groups do to win the climate change debate?
Bill: Well, we're going to have to find other currencies [that are] not money to work in. Passion, spirit, creativity, and sometimes we will need to spend our bodies and go to jail. That's not much fun, but it's not the end of the world. The end of the world is the end of the world. And that's what we're fighting against.
Jessica: Definitely. And after the Citizens United decision and, again, the record amount of money spent on elections this year, do you believe that we need campaign finance reform before we will see any real change on climate policy?
Bill: That's a very important idea, but we can't wait on it alone. We have to do all these these things as quickly as we can and at the same time. So we'll work hard with people like United Republic who are working on campaign finance reform, but we're not waiting until they finish their work before we take on the fossil fuel industry.
Jessica: You've travelled around the country and across the world and you're about to embark on this travel experience again. What's the one theme around climate change that speaks to everyone? And are there similar questions that come up everywhere you go?
Bill: Eighty-five percent of Americans' counties in the last two years have been in a federally declared disaster area, so people all over the place are being able to connect those dots in a serious way. And that's good news. The polling data shows that 74% of Americans understand that the climate is changing. So we're beginning to get somewhere and now we just need to stand up to this incredible power.
Jessica: And are there questions that you find come up often, like the same question over and over again when you travel?
Bill: This is so big, how can anything that I do really matter? And the answer is, "It can the minute you come together with everybody else."
Jessica: I see. So the last time you spoke to Earthjustice, this was about a year ago, the Obama Administration had just postponed approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. And back then, you said that approving the pipeline would mean game over for the climate. What hope do we have if Obama approves the pipeline?
Bill: Well it's burning the tar sands that will mean it's game over for climate. And all that carbon up there, it's the second biggest pool of carbon on Earth. We will keep fighting every attempt to burn it. And we're having good luck. Our colleagues in Canada have all but blocked the proposed gateway pipeline to the Pacific, so we're crimping the plans of the tar sands people, which is really nice.
Jessica: And speaking of Obama, do you think he will begin to seriously address climate change?
Bill: We'll find out. The Keystone pipeline will be the litmus test, and we'll see if he is willing to stand up to anybody, or not.
Jessica: Given your lecture series and the fact that you're about to come out with a new book, it begs the question, do you ever sleep?
Bill: I haven't slept as much as I would like to this last little while, I must say. I was home last night in my own bed and it was the first time in about 30 nights, and it will be about 40 nights before I see it again. But you know, the trouble with climate change is that unlike other social questions, it actually has a big time limit, so I am afraid we need to act a little more urgently than we otherwise would in this case.
Jessica: Definitely. Well Mr. McKibben, it's really been great talking with you. Thank you so much for your time.
Bill: All right. God bless you. Take care.

"Mike & Molly" star Melissa McCarthy proved once again on "Saturday Night Live" that she has a gift for physical comedy. In her opening monologue on the late night sketch show, the actress teetered on impossibly high, sparkly red platform heels. Mocking the impracticality of this persistent fashion trend, she clutched wildly at stair railings and band members' chairs, before finally sliding face-first onto the ground. While McCarthy was being intentionally funny, the following ladies created some accidental comedy while attempting to look stylish.
Rihanna: Known as much for her racy style as for her music, Rihanna often performs in booty shorts and teetering high heels. At a tour stop in Canada in 2011, the dancing diva slipped on her stilettos and fell forward onto her hands and knees, as you can see in the video here. Considering her often provocative dance moves, it's likely most of the fans at the concert didn't even notice, especially when she righted herself soon after. Though the damage wasn't permanent, we're guessing she had bruises on her legs and her ego afterward.
Lady Gaga: The avant-garde artist loves to play with outrageous costumes both on and off the stage, and that includes gravity-defying shoes. Couple this with her elaborate dance numbers and you have a recipe for disaster. Look around the Web and you can find multiple instances of Gaga falling down, including an incident on the Monster Ball Tour that left her with her head underneath her piano. Her extreme moves on stage eventually led to a hip injury that forced her to cancel tour dates in early 2013, and we wouldn't be surprised if a crazy shoe incident was somehow to blame.
Kate Middleton: Though the Duchess of Cambridge, in her royal life, has many experiences ordinary people can't fathom, her towering stiletto shoes brought her down to earth in a way all of us heel-wearers can identify with. Taking part in the 2013 St. Patrick's Day Parade, the lovely lady got her pointy heel stuck in a grate and nearly lost her shoe entirely. Luckily the expectant mom had hubby Will to hang onto while she got herself free, but we're thinking the perks of royalty have surely diminished when a princess has to dirty her hands by extracting her own heel.
Alicia Keys: Performing at the 2010 Essence Music Festival, the sexy songstress was perhaps sorry she'd ventured away from her famous piano. Taking a step backward, Alicia's five-inch heels slid on the stage and sent her tumbling backward. Luckily the fall wasn't too serious, especially as the talented musician was four months pregnant at the time. Insert an appropriate "Fallin'" joke here.

Transient hyperlipidemia in a litter of kittens
2012; 22 (6): 703-709
To describe an entire litter of kittens with severe hyperlipidemia and subsequent successful, low-cost treatment that included high protein enteral support and parasite control. Previous case studies of similarly affected kittens have focused on a genetic etiology and on advanced interventions. The role of negative energy balance and additional factors influencing hyperlipidemia, as well as treatment and prognosis are discussed.Three of 6 kittens died or were euthanized due to severe clinical signs attributable to multiorgan failure associated with subacute hyperlipidemia. The remaining 3 kittens, although subclinical, were found to have similar biochemical abnormalities, including severe anemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Flea treatment and weaning with assisted enteral support prevented the worsening of clinical signs and returned biochemical parameters to within reference intervals.Transient hyperlipidemia in kittens has been previously reported and successfully treated with administration of oxygen, blood transfusion, and diet change; these treatment recommendations may not always be financially feasible, resulting in euthanasia of affected kittens. In contrast, this report describes a successful, low-cost, outpatient approach of flea control, weaning, and introduction of a high protein enteral diet. It also highlights the importance of screening and treating seemingly unaffected littermates, provides new, previously unreported biochemical and histopathology findings, and proposes that negative energy balance is a significant factor in the development of transient hyperlipidemia in kittens.

Spinal cord nephroblastoma in dogs: 11 cases (1985-2007)
2011; 238 (5): 618-624
To evaluate clinical features and outcome of dogs with a confirmed spinal cord nephroblastoma and to describe the use of Wilms tumor-1 (WT-1) immunohistochemical staining to confirm a diagnosis of nephroblastoma in dogs.Retrospective case series. Animals-11 dogs with a spinal cord nephroblastoma.Medical records of dogs with a spinal cord nephroblastoma were reviewed. Information extracted included signalment, history, clinical signs, results of diagnostic testing, tumor location, treatment, and outcome. The diagnosis was confirmed through histologic review and WT-1 immunohistochemical staining of a tumor sample. In dogs with negative results for staining with WT-1, staining for cytokeratin, vimentin, and glial fibrillar acidic protein was performed.11 dogs had a spinal cord tumor with a histologic appearance and immunohistochemical staining consistent with a nephroblastoma. Positive results for staining with WT-1 were detected in 9 of 11 dogs. Age at admission ranged from 5 to 48 months (median, 14 months). Nine dogs were female. All had progressive paraparesis, paraplegia, or ataxia. Duration of clinical signs ranged from 2 to 60 days (median, 14 days). Median survival time was 30 days from the time of diagnosis. Median survival time in dogs treated via surgical resection was 70.5 days.The prognosis for dogs with a spinal cord nephroblastoma appeared to be poor, although combined surgical resection and radiation therapy may provide a good functional outcome. Results for staining with WT-1 can be used to support a diagnosis of nephroblastoma.

Neighborhoods: Northeast, Downtown
World famous, muti-level fabric store that houses unique and incredible high-quality textiles.
Good selection and friendly service - if you're a big spender – I'm from New York where I could walk into nearly any store in the garment district and have a competent, friendly staff member listen to what I needed, tour the store with me making intelligent recommendations, and haggle over price. The staff at Britex could take a few lessons. They were surface-friendly - offering assistance at first, but when I described what I needed, just a couple of yards of a specific inexpensive fabric, you'd think I was a leper. At least I was sent to the right floor. I felt like I was immediately categorized as "small-time" and not worth the effort. A bad business practice - I'm a big fabric spender who happens to be working on a small project at the moment.
The selection is pretty nice - floor after floor of well-organized fabric and craft materials. If you can't find it elsewhere, chances are, you'll find what you need here. But it is all incredibly overpriced, if you're used to comparison shopping for fabrics. So if you're desperate, have searched everywhere, and don't mind emptying your wallet, Britex is the place to be.
Grand local purveyor of high-end fabrics for more than 50 years. – In Short
Crafters and seamstresses explore four floors of floor-to-ceiling shelves lined with embroidered silk, Italian wool, Chinese brocade, Japanese batik, and bolts of cotton, crepe, velvet, suiting, skins and delicate lace at this elegant "grande dame" of textiles. The third floor features more than 30,000 notions, from antique buttons to tassels, and bridal materials are on the second floor. The store prides itself on excellent customer service and consultation, though no actual tailoring occurs here.
Beautiful Fabrics – Britex has an amazing selection of fabrics that are well worth their price. The staff has a lot of expertise and are very helpful. I definitely would recommend this place.
