Missing Warren Man FoundAuthorities have recovered the body of a missing Warren man.
Authorities have recovered the body of a missing Warren man.
The 59-year-old man whose name has not yet been released was reported missing around 9:30 Wednesday night, but police say it was reported the man was last seen January 17th, about 15 miles east of Warren on a Polaris ATV. After an air and ground search authorities found the man dead in a field about a quarter mile away from his home and a quarter mile away from his ATV. Police say it appears as though the man's ATV was stuck and he walked toward his home. The man's name is being held pending notification of relatives. Foul play is not suspected at this time.

White House, Ag Dept. propose limiting marketing unhealthy food in schools
White House praises MU player Michael Sam's announcement
White House warns Obama could go around Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) — The president's advisers are warning that if lawmakers won't work with the White House, the White House will go around them.
President Barack Obama makes his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
Top White House aides say Obama will try to work with Congress where it's possible.
But press secretary Jay Carney and senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer say the White House will take action with executive orders if needed.
On ABC's "This Week," Carney says the White House will "bypass Congress where necessary."
Pfeiffer tells "Fox News Sunday" that Obama, quote, "has a pen, and he has a phone, and he's going to use those."
Republican Sen. Rand Paul tells CNN's "State of the Union" that it sounds like a threat.
Obama to get help from former top Clinton aide
WASHINGTON (AP) — John Podesta, a former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and a trusted Democratic operative, will join the White House staff as a senior counselor to President Barack Obama, two persons familiar with the move said late Monday.
Podesta will take his place at the White House at a critical time for Obama as his health care law tries to shake itself off from a disastrous enrollment rollout and as the president seeks to re-establish his agenda going into a midterm election year.
Podesta is the founder and former president of the Center for American Progress, a Democratic think tank with close ties to the White House.
The New York Times first reported Podesta's move. The two persons familiar with the development confirmed it to The Associated Press on the condition they weren't named because the announcement was not official.
Podesta, 64, is well respected in political circles both as a strategist and a policy thinker. He would likely step into the role played by Pete Rouse at the White House, who is expected to leave soon after serving as a counselor and, for a time in 2010, as acting chief of staff for Obama.
US lays groundwork for possible Syria strike
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is laying the groundwork for potential military action in Syria in the coming days, with intelligence agencies readying additional evidence about last week's alleged chemical weapons attack and high-ranking U.S. officials declaring there was "no doubt" that Bashar Assad's government was to blame.
Administration officials also said Assad's actions posed a direct threat to U.S. national security, providing President Barack Obama with a potential legal justification for launching a strike without authorization from the United Nations or Congress. However, officials did not detail how the U.S. was directly threatened by an attack contained within Syria's borders. Nor did they present concrete proof that Assad was responsible.
"Allowing the use of chemical weapons on a significant scale to take place without a response would present a significant challenge to, threat to the United States' national security," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday.
The U.S. and international partners were unlikely to undertake military action before Thursday. That's when British Prime Minister David Cameron will convene an emergency meeting of Parliament, where lawmakers were expected to vote on a motion clearing the way for a British response.
Obama and Cameron spoke Tuesday, their second known conversation since the weekend. A Cameron spokesman said the two leaders agreed that a chemical attack had taken place, and that the Assad regime was responsible. Cameron "confirmed that the government had not yet taken a decision on the specific nature of our response, but that it would be legal and specific to the chemical weapons attack," the spokesman said.
Also Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden became the highest-ranking U.S. official to charge that Assad's government fired chemical weapons last week near Damascus. Assad has denied using chemical weapons, calling the allegations "preposterous."
"There's no doubt who is responsible for this heinous use of chemical weapons in Syria: the Syrian regime," Biden said.
Obama is weighing a response focused narrowly on punishing Assad for violating international agreements that ban the use of chemical weapons, an act the president repeatedly has said would cross a "red line." Officials said the goal was not to drive the Syrian leader from power nor affect the broader trajectory of Syria's bloody civil war, which is now in its third year.
"The options we are considering are not about regime change," Carney told reporters.
According to U.S. officials, the most likely military operation would be largely sea-based, with the strikes coming primarily from Navy warships in the Mediterranean Sea. Fighter jets often are deployed to monitor the area and protect the ships, but Syria's robust air defense system makes airstrikes more difficult and risky.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said military forces stood ready to strike Syria immediately if the commander in chief gave the order. The Navy has four destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean within range of targets inside Syria and also has warplanes in the region.
"We are ready to go," Hagel said in a BBC television interview Tuesday while traveling in Asia.
Ahead of any strike, the U.S. also planned to release additional intelligence it said would directly link Assad to the Aug. 21 attack in the Damascus suburbs. Syrian activists said hundreds of people were killed in the attack. A U.S. official said the intelligence report was expected to include "signals intelligence" — information gathered from intercepted communications.
All of the officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations.
Even before releasing that information, U.S. officials said they had very little doubt that Assad was culpable in the attack, based on witness reports, information on the number of victims and the symptoms of those killed or injured, and intelligence showing the Syrian government has not lost control of its chemical weapons stockpiles.
Other administration officials echoed Biden's comments, which marked a subtle shift in the administration's rhetoric on who bears responsibility for the attack. Earlier in the week officials would say only that there was "very little doubt" Assad was responsible.
The "Sequester" would hit bi-state area hard
Besides the pain of deep defense cuts which could lay off some 8,000 defense workers, Missouri could lose nearly $12 million in education funding.
In Illinois, the defense cuts would furlough more than 14,000 defense department employees and cut more than $30 million from education.
Democrats have proposed a combination of tax increases and spending cuts, including a tax on income above $1 million and eliminating tax breaks for oil companies.
Republicans have said they will only consider spending cuts.
Democratic Congressman Bill Enyart of Belleville, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the defense cuts would hit the area hard because of the importance of Scott Air Force Base and other military installations to the local economy.
Illinois Republican Representative John Shimkus told KSDK-TV that he doesn't believe a deal will be reached before the deadline.
White House presses ahead on immigration overhaul
That draft, according to USA Today, would create a visa for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States and allow them to become legal permanent residents within eight years.
Obama aide Denis McDonough tells ABC's "This Week" that the White House is working with a bipartisan group of senators.
GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida says if such a measure was proposed, it would be "dead on arrival" in Congress.
McDonough says "let's make sure that it doesn't have to be proposed" because the White House and Congress are able to work out a deal.
Instead of making the hard choices to fix Social Security's financial problems, policymakers "use it as a tool of political rhetoric," Astrue said.
Astrue, 56, has headed the federal government's largest program since 2006 — he was nominated by former President George W. Bush. By law, Social Security commissioners serve six-year terms, so President Barack Obama will now have the opportunity to choose his own nominee, who must be approved by the Senate. Astrue's last day on the job was Wednesday.
The trustees who oversee Social Security say the program's trust funds will run dry in 2033, leaving Social Security with only enough revenue to pay about 75 percent of benefits. Already the program is paying out more in benefits than it collects in payroll taxes.
As commissioner, Astrue served as a trustee. He regularly urged Congress to address Social Security's long-term financial problems but refrained from publicly weighing in on various options to cut benefits or raise taxes — until now.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Astrue said benefit cuts and tax increases are inevitable — despite fierce opposition to both. Yet he questions whether Congress is up to the task.
Lawmakers to get drone report before CIA hearing
The White House counterterrorism chief, John Brennan, is Obama's nominee to run the nation's spy agency. He helped manage the deadly drone program.
Brennan's confirmation hearing today sets the stage for a public airing of some of the most controversial programs in the covert war on al-Qaida, from the deadly drone strikes to the CIA's use of interrogation techniques like waterboarding during the George W. Bush administration.
The Senate committee's chairman, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, said the secret legal opinion about drone strikes would be provided to her committee by this morning.

You can post more than one questions also.
What is the best Interview question that you have ever been asked ?
Let it be anything C++/Java/OS/Algorithms/Data structures or even an HR Question, it should just be the best in your opinion.
You can post more than one questions also.
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
They were trying to get a feel for what kind of research techniques I use and what resources I'm familiar with. My answer, which they were pleased with was: Google, blogs, msdn, co-workers, books - generally in that order (SO/decent Q&A sites weren't well known at the time).
Without being sarcastic or cynical the best question for me was:
For a network heavy development position, "describe everything that happens, in as much detail as possible, when you open up a web browser on your desktop and go to www.foo.com".
The answer of course, is that it depends on which features those 80% are. If you're focusing on the most important features first, then the 80% of complete features should be the most important 80%, which means that shipping should come first. If your design process is haphazard then the 80% of features complete might not be the ones you need the most, and you'll need to delay.
The key, I pointed out, was that it was a fine line between "Delay for two weeks" and "Duke Nukem Forever". You always have to be careful when walking that line.
Long before there was an internet...
I was given a manual for a language that they knew I didn't know, paper and pen, and put in a room with a problem for a half hour. I think the problem was something about synchronizing two databases using this language, but the actual problem wasn't that important.
What was important was how we dealt with a problem when we didn't know the language. Some people just sat there for the half hour, because they didn't know. I started working it out anyway. That was testing attitude, is the person a problem solver, or do they give up easily?
I got the job.
"So, how do you ensure the quality of your code?"
Well, the answer involved TDD, version control, peer review practices and everything else pretty much under the sun.
Got the gig as well - well pleased.
Best: "Tell me about your side projects" -- This tells you a huge amount about the candidate. If a developer candidate writes software on the side, you can learn how complex of a project they are comfortable with, how much development experience they have, how skilled they are at engineering, how they manage their own time, etc. If your prospective developer spends all his spare time modding his car, you can infer that this is not his dream job and he may not be with you long.
Honorable mention:
"What is your ideal job?" -- This was from my current employer, and it started us talking about what I actually enjoy doing. He has ever since tailored the job to meet my needs and I am much more valuable to the company as a result.
"Write your own question. Pick any question you want that shows how valuable you are, and answer it." -- Heard my boss ask an intern candidate this last week after she alleged that our logic puzzles were a biased metric.
(within the team)
"What do you do when you are certain that the solution is to use technology/technique/algorithm X, but your supervisor is equally convinced that the solution is technology/technique/algorithm Y?"
I gave an answer about making a detailed presentation as to the virtues of X over Y, but then once a decision had been made, doing my best to respect/support the decisions of upper management.
For me it is
That's the time I first realize though learning programming for years, I have not done anything really exciting that I can be proud of ...
It doesn't sound like a great question. On the surface, it won't tell the interviewer anything about which design patterns you know, which ORMs you use, whether you can write FizzBuzz without resorting to hard-coding all of the lines, or even whether you know that
However, I found it revealing on both sides. Here's a guy who probably grew up hacking on a computer that his parents bought him "for schoolwork" rather than someone who got into programming because VB looked like it could be lucrative. He probably writes code for fun when he's not at work. In short, he's probably been a coder for most of his life and loves doing it. He's probably someone you could learn a thing or two from and will enjoy working with.
Unfortunately, now that your computer choices are basically limited to an IBM-compatible PC running one of 3 different operating systems, this question is becoming more and more obsolete.
I am a web-application developer. So, when-ever I go for interview, I am asked this question
Anyone here, have been asked a similar question.
I onced got the question,
The question completely popped me. I nearly started laughing because it was so far away from my mindset. I develope for making things work, not to remember my mistakes. I ended up with no answer on this question. Which of course was a bad sign.
An experienced developer without one single mistake in the luggage. Well, that would ring warning bells to who? I mean, who haven't deployed the test connnectionstring or forgot the test string "Mamals can eat" on the GUI?
So, word of my, have some old mistakes in mind, preferably one with a little touch of humour.
My favorite interview question was "Design an application for a ping-pong tournament."*
From that start it turned into a series of questions that I was really into. Like, I asked if it was a web application, or desktop, or some other platform (web app). Then I asked if it's a real ping-pong tournament or a virtual simulation (a real tournament). And so on.
Once I gathered a bunch of additional information, then I started drawing out functional requirements (eg. the app behaves differently for players, spectators, and referees) and planning what objects would be involved and how they relate. Once I drew a block diagram on the board he decided I'd answered the question well and we moved on to another topic.
It was a great question because it started off fairly vague and had a lot of meat to it for him to evaluate/me to show off how I would design an application.
*yes I realize that's not a question, you know what I mean.

A new study from NBC reveals how emotions generated from TV shows have mirrored American society. And 'judgment' is the current king of the charts.
By Daniel Roberts, reporter
If you're on TV, whether in a drama or reality show, chances are that Americans are sitting on their couches, silently judging you. Those are the findings from a new study conducted by NBC Universal, which examined the top 20 broadcast programs (via Nielsen ratings) of each year, over the past 50 years. NBC asked nearly 3,500 heavy TV-watchers, ages 18-70, how they felt while watching each show.
According to the study, made available exclusively to Fortune, the emotion most frequently elicited by today's top shows is 'judgment,' defined for the purposes of the study as "this show invites me to pass judgment on the actions of these characters."
Lauren Zalaznick, President of NBC Universal Women and Lifestyle Entertainment Networks, ran the study and first presented its findings to guests at the TEDWomen conference this month. She believes that the high ranking of 'judgment' makes perfect sense based on which type of programming dominated the past couple of years. "From 2009-2010 rankings, reality shows have spots 1, 2, and 3," she said. Viewers, Zalaznick pointed out, love to watch competition. It's even better when they can get directly involved in the judging, which shows like American Idol allow them to do.
But the study goes beyond just the current era of TV tastes. In four animated charts below, respondents' most frequently chosen attributes face off over time, and the results are illuminating:
|Delinquent IRS employees paid bonuses by the agency
|Students cry foul over athletes unionizing
|Is capitalism driving itself out of business?
|Sandy Hook victim's grandfather launches smart gun campaign
|Premarkets: Waiting for big tech earnings

With growing consumer demand to make black coffee "green," the labeling on your bag of beans can be bewildering. A common question when buying Fair Trade Certified coffee is whether it's also organic. The Fair Trade label does not guarantee that the coffee is organic; the label signifies only how the coffee was traded, not how it was grown. But, according to the Organic Trade Association, around 85 percent of Fair Trade Certified coffee sold in the United States is, in fact, also certified organic. If you're unsure about the organic status of your Fair Trade Certified coffee, ask your seller or look for an organic certification label in addition to the Fair Trade Certified label. Fair Trade Certified coffee may also be shade-grown. Look for the shade-grown label to be sure.
Choosing Fair Trade Certified coffee helps you go green because...
- It promotes ecologically sound, small-scale farming practices.
- It supports the economic and social welfare of small producers in developing agricultural communities that do not have the financial means to afford chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
Coffee-based drinks are the most widely consumed beverages in the world alongside water. In the United States alone, 400 million cups are drunk by an estimated 56 percent of the adult population on a daily basis.[1] This high demand makes the crop itself one of the world's most valuable commodities, second only to petroleum, and supports an industry that employs 25 million people around the globe.[2] Coffee—which is made from the roasted seeds or beans of the coffee tree—is produced both organically and conventionally in 53 countries, with Brazil and Colombia being the most active producers. When grown conventionally, coffee is treated with more chemicals in the farming process than any other product farmed for human use, except tobacco.
The coffee crisis
Coffee production is currently in a state of crisis—an imbalance of supply and demand has been created due to a rapid increase in production, especially in Indonesia and Vietnam during the 1990s, that has failed to match the slower increase in consumption. Not only has this affected both farmers and natural ecosystems as more land is cleared for production, but the price of coffee now hovers near historic lows.
Since the late 1980s when coffee-exporting nations generated approximately $10 to $12 billion from the crop annually, revenue has dropped to around $5 billion, according to the International Coffee Organization. In countries that rely on coffee exportation as a central source of revenue, the total losses exceed monetary aid. This has led to social unrest, rural unemployment, and illegal immigration.
What is Fair Trade?
The practice of fair trade helps to alleviate the worldwide coffee crisis by ensuring that coffee farmers receive a living wage for their product——a minimum of $1.26/pound.[3] In this way, fair trade is designed to foster an economically stable relationship between North American consumers and farmers in Asian, Latin American, and African countries, while also promoting safe, humane labor conditions.
In the United States, Fair Trade Certified coffee is marketed under strict guidelines set forth by TransFair USA, a nonprofit organization that monitors fair trade practices in developing agricultural communities under the umbrella association Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International (FLO). These guidelines, based on the seven principles of Fair Trade established by the Fair Trade Federation, are:
- Fair wages: Coffee farmers receive a minimum price for their crop and an extra price premium if their coffee is certified organic, guaranteeing that they make a living wage.
- Fair labor conditions: Safe working conditions and no forced child labor are key.
- Direct trade: Importers buy the cocoa from Fair Trade producer co-ops as much as possible to allow farmers to develop business acumen and to cut out middlemen who take part of the profits.
- Democratic and transparent organizations: Decisions about how to invest revenues are made democratically by the farmers and farm workers.
- Community development: Money is invested in social and business development projects that farmers and workers decide upon such as scholarship programs, organic agriculture training or building health clinics.
- Environmental sustainbility: Protection of the environment is an integral part of farm management, with restricted use of fertilizers and pesticides and no GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Farmers are encouraged to work toward organic certification, but are not required to do so. When coffee is both Fair Trade Certified and Certified Organic, it will display two separate labels signifying this. Because fair trade coffee producers are commonly small holders who are unable to invest in environmentally damaging practices, such as synthetic pesticides and clear-cutting, many agree to grow certified organic products and direct premiums toward concerns such as health care, education, and housing.
Fair trade certification is not limited to coffee. It also extends to tea, cocoa, fruits, rice, sugar, and other agricultural items. Although many handicrafts and clothing items are available and labeled as being fair trade, they have not been officially certified by TransFair USA.
Fair Trade Certified goes mainstream
The world's largest coffee and baked goods company, Dunkin' Donuts, started using Fair Trade Certified beans for their espresso products in 2003. Other major coffee houses, such as Starbucks, have trickled Fair Trade Certified coffees into their product stream in recent years, although fair trade represents only about 3.7 percent of Starbucks' coffees.[4]
Fair Trade Certified coffee, in particular, has come under fire from economists claiming that the low price of coffee is due to overproduction and that the appeal of fair trade premiums is, in turn, triggering more and more coffee production when farmers should be switching to other crops. As a result, the price of non-fair trade coffee drops and non-fair trade farmers sink deeper into poverty.
Another objection to fair trade is that it is ineffective in relaying funds to poor producers. In addition to the higher base price of Fair Trade Certified products, retailers tack on additional mark-ups, which leads consumers to believe that all the extra premiums they're paying go directly to the producer. In reality, only a small percent reaches the producer, according to economist Tim Harford.
Related health issues
The caffeine found in coffee is known to be an addictive stimulant and, when not consumed in moderation, can lead to health-related issues such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. Heavy coffee consumption can also yellow the teeth. Additionally, heath risks can arise from the chemical residue on pesticide-sprayed, conventionally grown coffee. The higher quality coffee beans farmed using organic methods contain less acid and caffeine and, furthermore, are gentler on the human body.

Make your day on the water just a bit more enjoyable without straining your muscles trying to raise and lower an outboard motor that is not equipped with trim and tilt. The Panther Trim & Tilt is a simple convenience with major results. The Model 135 is the perfect option for older outboard motors with bad hydraulic trim and tilts, when repair costs are prohibitively expensive.
The heavy duty bracket is designed for outboards up to 135hp or 350 pounds and it maximizes lifting power (even greater than the outboard's tilt range), and it also allows for increased tuck-under to get heavy boats on plane quickly. Adapts to clamp on or bolt-through outboards.

We really liked our stay in this hostel. Room was clean and spacy and even had a TV. Room was cleaned up every day. There are a few parkings available if your car isn't too wide, the entry is very narrow but locked all the time, so don't be afraid of thieves. City centre is within a 10 min walk, grocery stores, restaurants and a light rail stop are close.

This is a precision tool if I have ever seen one. It lets me tweak frets down to the smallest fraction. I find it to be one of the most valuable tools that I have in my shop. No more dead or buzzing frets!
Excellent tool. VERY useful.
This is a simple to use time saving tool. If you want your frets just right you need this tool.
Stop putting it off and buy the thing, it's simple, but it is well made and reliable.
I was not sure at first that this little tool would do all they said it would. Now I can't imagine doing a fret job without one.
Thank you for the Fret Rocker. It arrived in the UK in less time than you suggested, and on my set ups I'm already checking all my customers' frets with this great tool!
The Fret Rocker, Helps me maintain a fret Buzz free` guitar with a lower action, and using it, I find that even new instruments suffer with a "raised Fret" or two, and the "Fret Rocker" is the tool that will find the offending high fret that you can simply "Tap" or "Smoth" down. This tool, "saved" this lovely Gibson Lucile` What a great invention!
I sincerely thank your staff for the quick service you provided yet again!
Regards, Chris.
A must for every repair shop. This tool is a really good investment.
Great tool: simple, effective, indispensable!

Comments about theBalm timeBalm Skincare Apple Daily Face Moisturizer, 1 oz:
Compared to some of the other TimeBalm skincare products, this isn't one of my favorite, but it works just fine. For someone who has combination skin that occasionally breakouts, this is a good moisturizer because the AHA sloughs off dead skin cells overnight to prevent clogging of skin. When worn overnight, the next morning, my skin feels smoother and my acne lessens with each subsequent use.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thousands of people stranded on a Carnival Cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico are desperately hoping for a way back home, but it looks like they will have to wait one more day.
The cruise line passengers are now expected to reach a Mobile, Alabama port on Thursday.
The cruise line has booked charter flights to Houston for all of the passengers as soon as the ship gets back to the coast, Carnival said.
The people on board have been stranded on the disabled ship since Sunday. Carnival said it is working hard to ensure that all the passengers are comfortable by staying very sensitive to all hygiene procedures.
However, some passengers are describing the ordeal as far less than comfortable, citing overflowing toilets, limited access to food, and dirty and hot conditions on board.
Family members on land continue to get brief text message updates from loved ones stuck on the ship.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Pharmacopornography: An Interview with Beatriz Preciado
December 4, 2013 | by Ricky Tucker
The student worker guarding the doors to Beatriz's (B.'s) roundtable discussion at NYU meant business. I had been late leaving a class several blocks over at the less austere New School, and for that he was sorry, but I wouldn't be able to fit in the room with B., José Muñoz, Avital Ronell, their cumulative brilliance, and about a hundred students who may or may have not been aware of the cultural master class that lay in store for them. "If someone leaves, you're next in," he assured me. I sat outside the lacquered double doors, deflated. Attending this discussion was my only chance to unpack, and from the horse's mouth, this dense theoretical/narrative text I had been reading in a silo all summer. My interview with B. was scheduled for the next day.
Last July, when I first picked up the manuscript for what, in its final iteration, would be Beatriz Preciado's Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era, I was in the hills of Ecuador at a straight friend's wedding, far from anything remotely related to queer theory, pharmacological engineering, Foucaultian lineage, or writing, for that matter. B. toggles between a personal account of using topical testosterone, Testogel, as a kind of performative homage to a fallen queer friend, and a cultural analysis that investigates how pharmaceutical companies politicize the body– down to the molecule. The idea is that Testo Junkie picks up where Foucault's The History of Sexuality left off, a chronicle of sex in an ever increasingly consumerist and pornographically identified modernity. Its mix of personal narrative and theory softened my point of entry, but still, it was a lot to consider on my own.
So, I waited outside of those doors at NYU hoping to get in, and if I did, I prayed that the complexity of the pharmacopornographic dilemma would magically break down into a series of alphabet blocks: pointing to big business as the culprit and queer individuals taking hormones as the politicized bodies. Of course it was not so simple; when the student going to class or dinner or whatever left the auditorium, making room for me, I found through a series of revelatory slides and discussions that this issue is wide-reaching but fundamentally inherent in everything we do—all of us. And that was just the panel discussion.
When I sat down the next day with the calming but intellectually compelling B., B. laid out for me the universality of the pharmacopornographic regime, how all bodies have become biopolitical archives for the powers that be, but also how taking testosterone effects one's cognitive experience, how we romanticize substances like opium and writing, and how the pill is just a blip on the blueprint that is you.
What was the beginning of your academic research?
I went to the New School, for philosophy. I had come from Spain on a Fulbright scholarship, which was very different then. Continental philosophy was more of what I studied at the New School. But what was great for me was that in this context, I had the great chance of meeting Derrida, who became for me a mentor. He was my teacher in a seminar with Ágnes Heller, and I spoke French, so it was fantastic. He was the most generous professor I ever had. He invited me to teach a seminar. I then ended up living in Paris, and now I've been there for the last ten years.
He was teaching a seminar on forgiveness and the gift, but at that time, he was studying Saint Augustine's transformation in relationship to faith and becoming Catholic while at a point of personal transitioning. It was kind of like a story of transexuality. So, I went to France to speak about this. Read More »

Maryhill Vinyards, Washington
Maryhill Vinyards, Washington
Maryhill Wines, from the fertile soil of the Columbia Valley in Washington State, are new to Chattanooga,
Great Buys is back for the holidays! Longtime readers of The Pulse will remember Great Buys as a weekly column, in which Riley's Wine & Spirits picks something special from the its larges selection of adult beverages from around the world, discusses it's origins and taste, then offers it up at an insanely low price.
For this special holiday column, we've picked Maryhill Wines from the fertile soil of the Columbia Valley in Washington State. Maryhill Wines are new to Chattanooga and offer a little something for everyone, from the casual sipper to the hardcore connoisseur.
Maryhill Winery is a relatively young vineyard. It was started in 1999 by Craig and Vicki Leuthold, married entrepreneurs with separate careers who both shared the same desire to experience more out of life by following their common passion of making great wines. They purchased several thousand acres in Goldendale, located at the southern tip of the Columbia Valley, Washington State's premier wine-producing region. Goldendale is not only breathtakingly beautiful (and once explored by Lewis and Clark), but is also known for the three essential ingredients needed for the cultivation of outstanding wine that vineyards use to make fine wine:
• A warm growing season.
• Cool breezes to oxidize and nurture the developing fruit.
• A healthy, rainy season.
By 2000, the Leuthold's began construction on their winery overlooking Gunkel Vineyard, perhaps the oldest and most-fertile vineyard in Washington State. One year later, Maryhill Vineyard opened its doors, becoming the 100th winery in the state. That first year, Maryhill yielded just 5,000 cases, but through hard work and dedication, matched only by the greater successes of the wine industry, Maryhill was voted Washington State's 2009 Winery of the Year by Washington Press Northwest.
Today, Maryhill produces more than 80,000 cases of wine per year, currently offering up to 30 varietals. Riley's is happy to welcome Maryhill Wines to our store by offering nine of their best. Each wine or varietal displays both characteristics of wines cultivated in the Columbia Valley and Maryhill's dedication to crafting them a cut above the rest.
Featured Maryhill Wines
1. 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon ($13.95); Fruity aromas of plum, blackberry plus some honey give over to flavors of sharp cherry, figs, anise and violets. This wine contains some big fruit and isn't overly tanic making it a truly characteristic of Cabernet grown in the Columbia Valley.
2. 2008 Merlot ($13.95) In a word—smooth—as Merlot should be. Expect aromas of raspberry jam, coffee and some eucalyptus, while the palate contains flavors of blackberries, toffee, black pepper and cherry which linger to the finish.
3. 2009 Chardonnay ($8.24): This classy Columbia Valley Chard (more fruit, less creaminess) starts off with aromas of lime and pear, which give it tropical character. A touch of vanilla and oak give way to a full fruit forward assault of lemon, apple, honeydew melon, followed by a nicely rounded finish of nutmeg and fig.
4. 2010 Riesling ($8.24): Riesling has always sharply divided wine drinkers. You either love it or leave it. Lovers of the sweeter side of this grape will be very pleased indeed with aromas and flavors of lime, pear, apple and orange blossom. Maryhill's Riesling stands its own ground next to Chateau Ste. Michelle's "Warhorse" Rieslings. CSM beware!
5. 2009 Pinot Grigio ($8.24): This golden-colored wine meets wine drinkers in the middle with well-balanced acidity, putting it neither into the sweeter or the dryer categories. Expect refreshing aromas of citrus, green apple and light pear which eases you into flavors of grapefruit, citrus and pear, finishing with a bit of nutmeg.

(vintage poncho, American Apparel tshirt, Silence + Noise lace corset, gifted Soul Design Lab jeans, Jeffrey Campbell x Free People boots, Pamela Love double cage ring)
Heading to Hapa Izakaya for Japanese tapas before the show..feasted on amaebi, salmon sashimi, and miso eggplant. The consistently almost-raining weather gave me the perfect excuse to wear this blinding fringed poncho I thrifted last month. Suitable for a psychedelic Little Red Riding Hood, and me, apparently. I discovered after I brought it home with me that it's fully reversible as well..the other side boasts semi-unattractive patchy black faux fur and brass toggles. Toggles are always good in my book.
Want to give an enormous shoutout and a lifetime's worth of gratitude to Ms. Araki from Elle Girl Japan who gave me (I KNOW…I'm still in a confused daze over the whole thing) an Olympus EP2 camera at the photo shoot at my house last week. I tried to refuse but if you've ever tried this tactic against a Japanese person you know it's most ineffective. It hasn't left my side since..I'm still figuring out it's endless options and settings but am already in passionate love with it. I took a picture of Kumo with it and the clarity was so extreme that it looked as if his fur was emerging all hedgehog-like through the LCD screen. Probably the most ideal camera for it's joint portability and DSLR power..I've posted a few shots I've taken with it in the past week on genericdream.

Iron overload
Micrograph of haemosiderosis. Liver biopsy. Iron stain.
In medicine, iron overload indicates accumulation of iron in the body from any cause. The most important causes are hereditary haemochromatosis (HHC), a genetic disorder, and transfusional iron overload, which can result from repeated blood transfusion.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Organs commonly affected by haemochromatosis are the liver, heart, and endocrine glands.[1]
Haemochromatosis may present with the following clinical syndromes:[2]
- Cirrhosis of the liver
- Diabetes due to pancreatic islet cell failure
- Cardiomyopathy
- Arthritis (iron deposition in joints)
- Testicular failure
- Tanning (bronzing) of the skin
- Joint pain and bone pain[3]
The causes can be distinguished between primary cases (hereditary or genetically determined) and less frequent secondary cases (acquired during life).[4] People of Celtic (Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Breton etc.), British, and Scandinavian origin[5] have a particularly high incidence of whom about 10% are carriers of the gene and 1% sufferers from the condition.
Primary haemochromatosis[edit]
Although it was known for most of the 20th century that most cases of haemochromatosis were inherited, they were incorrectly assumed to depend on a single gene.[6] The overwhelming majority actually depend on mutations of the HFE gene discovered in 1996, but since then others have been discovered and sometimes are grouped together as "non-classical hereditary haemochromatosis",[7] "non-HFE related hereditary haemochromatosis",[8] or "non-HFE haemochromatosis".[9]
|Haemochromatosis type 1: "classical" haemochromatosis
|Haemochromatosis type 2A: juvenile haemochromatosis
|Haemojuvelin ("HJV", also known as RGMc and HFE2)
|Haemochromatosis type 2B: juvenile haemochromatosis
|hepcidin antimicrobial peptide (HAMP) or HFE2B
|Haemochromatosis type 3
|transferrin receptor-2 (TFR2 or HFE3)
|Haemochromatosis type 4/
African iron overload
|ferroportin (SLC11A3/SLC40A1)
|Neonatal haemochromatosis
|Acaeruloplasminaemia (very rare)
|Congenital atransferrinaemia (very rare)
|GRACILE syndrome (very rare)
Most types of hereditary haemochromatosis have autosomal recessive inheritance, while type 4 has autosomal dominant inheritance.[10]
Secondary haemochromatosis[edit]
- Severe chronic haemolysis of any cause, including intravascular haemolysis and ineffective erythropoiesis (haemolysis within the bone marrow)
- Multiple frequent blood transfusions (either whole blood or just red blood cells), which are usually needed either by individuals with hereditary anaemias (such as beta-thalassaemia major, sickle cell anaemia, and Diamond–Blackfan anaemia) or by older patients with severe acquired anaemias such as in myelodysplastic syndromes
- Excess parenteral iron supplements, such as what can acutely happen in iron poisoning
- Excess dietary iron
- Some disorders do not normally cause haemochromatosis on their own, but may do so in the presence of other predisposing factors. These include cirrhosis (especially related to alcohol abuse), steatohepatitis of any cause, porphyria cutanea tarda, prolonged haemodialysis, and post-portacaval shunting.
There are several methods available for diagnosing and monitoring iron loading including:
Serum ferritin is a low-cost, readily available, and minimally invasive method for assessing body iron stores. However, the major problem with using it as an indicator of iron overload is that it can be elevated in a range of other medical conditions unrelated to iron levels including infection, inflammation, fever, liver disease, renal disease, and cancer. Also, total iron binding capacity may be low, but can also be normal.[11]
The standard of practice in diagnosis of haemochromatosis was recently reviewed by Pietrangelo.[12] Positive HFE analysis confirms the clinical diagnosis of haemochromatosis in asymptomatic individuals with blood tests showing increased iron stores, or for predictive testing of individuals with a family history of haemochromatosis. The alleles evaluated by HFE gene analysis are evident in ~80% of patients with haemochromatosis; a negative report for HFE gene does not rule out haemochromatosis. In a patient with negative HFE gene testing, elevated iron status for no other obvious reason, and family history of liver disease, additional evaluation of liver iron concentration is indicated. In this case, diagnosis of haemochromatosis is based on biochemical analysis and histologic examination of a liver biopsy. Assessment of the hepatic iron index (HII) is considered the "gold standard" for diagnosis of haemochromatosis.
MRI is emerging as an alternative to liver biopsy for measuring liver iron loading. For measuring liver iron concentrations, R2-MRI (also known as FerriScan)[13][14] has been extensively validated. More than 11,000 FerriScans have now been conducted in over 120 medical centres across 25 countries. FerriScan is now specifically recommended as a method to measure liver iron concentrations in clinical practice guidelines for thalassaemias,[15][16][17][18][19] sickle cell disease [20][21][22] myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) [23][24][25] and hereditary haemochromatosis.[26]
Family members of those with primary haemochromatosis should be screened to determine if they are a carrier or if they could develop the disease. This can allow preventative measures to be taken.
Screening the general population is not recommended.[27]
Routine treatment in an otherwise-healthy person consists of regularly scheduled phlebotomies (bloodletting). When first diagnosed, the phlebotomies may be fairly frequent, perhaps as often as once a week, until iron levels can be brought to within normal range. Once iron and other markers are within the normal range, phlebotomies may be scheduled every other month or every three months depending upon the patient's rate of iron loading.
For those unable to tolerate routine blood draws, there is a chelating agent available for use. The drug deferoxamine binds with iron in the bloodstream and enhances its elimination via urine and faeces. Typical treatment for chronic iron overload requires subcutaneous injection over a period of 8–12 hours daily. Two newer iron chelating drugs that are licensed for use in patients receiving regular blood transfusions to treat thalassaemia (and, thus, who develop iron overload as a result) are deferasirox and deferiprone.
A third of those untreated develop hepatocellular carcinoma.[28] Affected individuals over age 40 or who have high serum ferritin levels are at risk for developing cirrhosis. Significant problems occur in around one in ten.[27]
It is most common in white people and occurs in 0.6% of the population.[27] Men who have the disease get symptoms from too much iron 24 fold more times more often than women.[27]
Historically, the term haemochromatosi (spelled hemochromatosis in American English) was initially used to refer to what is now more specifically called haemochromatosis type 1 (or HFE-related hereditary haemochromatosis). Currently, haemochromatosis (without further specification) is mostly defined as iron overload with a hereditary/primary cause,[29][30] or originating from a metabolic disorder.[31] However, the term is currently also used more broadly to refer to any form of iron overload, thus requiring specification of the cause, for example, hereditary haemochromatosis. Hereditary haemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disorder with estimated prevalence in the population of 1 in 200 among patients with European ancestry, with lower incidence in other ethnic groups.[32] The gene responsible for hereditary haemochromatosis (known as HFE gene) is located on chromosome 6; the majority of hereditary haemochromatosis patients have mutations in this HFE gene. Hereditary haemochromatosis is characterized by an accelerated rate of intestinal iron absorption and progressive iron deposition in various tissues that typically begins to be expressed in the third to fifth decades of life, but may occur in children. The most common presentation is hepatic cirrhosis in combination with hypopituitarism, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, arthritis, or hyperpigmentation. Because of the severe sequelae of this disorder if left untreated, and recognizing that treatment is relatively simple, early diagnosis before symptoms or signs appear is important.[12][33] In general, the term haemosiderosis is used to indicate the pathological effect of iron accumulation in any given organ, which mainly occurs in the form of haemosiderin.[34][35] Sometimes, the simpler term siderosis is used instead.
Other definitions distinguishing haemochromatosis or haemosiderosis that are occasionally used include:
- Haemosiderosis is haemochromatosis caused by excessive blood transfusions, that is, haemosiderosis is a form of secondary haemochromatosis.[36][37]
- Haemosiderosis is haemosiderin deposition within cells, while haemochromatosis is haemosiderin within cells and interstitium.[38]
- Haemosiderosis is iron overload that does not cause tissue damage,[39] while haemochromatosis does.[40]
- Haemosiderosis is arbitrarily differentiated from haemochromatosis by the reversible nature of the iron accumulation in the reticuloendothelial system.[41]

It is still better to get the nipple out. The following will work with very little access room.
The easiest way to get it the nipple out is to cut it out. Make a couple careful cuts about 1/2" apart from each other through the nipple at the top using a sawsall. Tap out this 1/2" cut section of nipple. Then you can squeeze (collapse) the remaining nipple a bit with a pipe wrench, and it will come out easily.
The only trick is to avoid cutting into the female threads. However, so long as you make your cuts near the top of the nipple, you do have a little room for error (since it is a drain, a little damage to threads on the top should not result in a leak).
I did the above recently on a galvanized nipple in very bad shape. After removing it, the remaining female threads were in great shape, and accepted a male PCV thread with no trouble (or leaks).

Hi. Rachelle Hruska here, Guest of a Guest and Cosmo. We're in the middle of Fashion Week [unknown] bringing you past these crowds that I'm walking through for an all-access pass backstage. Follow me. I wanna know about your first time?
My first Fashion Week, I crashed. I wasn't invited.
How did you manage to do that?
I overdressed and acted like I was entitled to being there.
Tips that you can give to girls that might not be able to afford these clothes or may never get to be to a fashion show. How can they look fabulous and confident?
Be really, really skinny because if you're really skinny, then everything, you can--
That's not what we need to hear [unknown]?
Be a size 0.
What was the biggest faux pas you've seen so far in any Fashion Week? What's a huge faux pas?
A huge faux pas is when the shoes don't fit the models and they fall out of the shoes. But the best save of the year and the best thing at a Fashion Show is when the girl loses her shoe and she walks down the runway like this with no shoes on, but they have no heel on--
How much of a--
and they do the walk and they just keep doing the walk without the shoes on.
We're here at the Rebecca Taylor after-party. There's a lot of famous people, a lot of fashionistas. Let's take a look around.
What's something that you've seen out on the runways that you can pick out as an item that you think is a trend for this spring that you really like?
I have seen a lot of vibrant color and a lot of ruffles. You know, fashion is your own personal expression, you know? It-- it's your own personality that you wear on your sleeve and, you know, we all should learn from one another.
How do you guys get in to the Fashion Week parties in New York City?
Usually, I sneak in.
Do you feel out of your element here?
No, not really. Do I look out of my element?
No comment. Oh! Remember that the best part of Fashion Week after-parties are the gift bags. Remember to stock up. I have a lot of friends. So tell me. Have you seen any fashion faux pas out there?
I'm a little surprised by how casual some of the Fashion Week attendees happen to be. But--
Oh, don't look at my shoes right now, Tim.
I won't. I won't. I'm looking at you from here up.
What's like one thing a girl can buy, the-- the piece that they should have this fall in their closet that they can wear any way they want transformed?
A-- a blazer or jacket. The reason I say jacket is it's the easiest way to take a t-shirt and a pair of jeans and take them anywhere.
Well, that was a great party but it's getting shut down. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes all-access Fashion Week. See you soon!

Telluride will best remember Schwarzkopf, who bought a home on Bridge Lane in the Ski Ranches in 1995, for participating in the town's Fourth of July Parade, and for his high profile work as founder and honorary chairman of the Telluride Foundation.
"I am involved in many charities throughout the country and I am especially proud of my association with the Telluride Foundation," he said in 2003, going on to praise Telluride "for its unparalleled beauty and preserved historic western heritage as well as the strong sense of community experienced by residents and guests. The Telluride Foundation supports and enriches the people and organizations that represent this wonderful place."
Schwarzkopf cut the ribbon for the opening of Telluride Ski Resort's 733-acre Prospect Bowl in 2002, which nearly doubled the size of open terrain on the mountain.
Schwarzkopf, who died from pneumonia, leaves behind a strong legacy of volunteer work, from his lifelong work as a conservationist to his co-founding, with Paul Newman, of Camp Boggy Creek, the year-round camp in Florida for children with chronic illnesses.
He was also on the advisory committee of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, honorary chair of the Tampa Children's Home capital campaign, and a member of the U.S. Military Cancer Institute, and a national spokesperson for prostate cancer awareness (he was diagnosed with the disease in 1993).
Schwarzkopf, a West Point graduate like his father before him, lived in Iran in his youth, where his father was posted after the Shah's request for a post-World War II American military presence that could manage the Iranian police force.
While their parents lived in Tehran, Schwarzkopf and his two older sisters attended school in Geneva, where he developed a lifelong interest in art.
"Geneva has some wonderful art," said Schwarzkopf, in an interview with The Watch in 2005, adding that he was profoundly affected by school-vacation tours of museums in Florence and Rome.
Over his military career, he made a point of visiting art museums throughout the world.
"I liked to surprise people," Schwarzkopf said, back in the days of conducting military reviews in foreign countries, inspecting the honor guard, and then telling his hosts, "I would like to see a museum."
Schwarzkopf campaigned for President George W. Bush in 2000, but voiced concerns about the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, saying he doubted victory would be as easy as the White House and Pentagon predicted.
"In the final analysis I think we are behind schedule," he told NBC in 2004, regarding Iraq. "I don't think we counted on it turning into jihad," he said.
In August 2005, the four-star general's three-part collage, "Transition," sold for $17,000 at the annual auction fundraiser for Telluride's Ah Haa School, of which he was a loyal supporter. In the piece, Schwarzkopf incorporated the Chinese symbols for war and peace with the English words War, Chaos and Conflict at the bottom, and then, simply, Peace, hovering at the top.
"War is at the bottom," Schwarzkopf observed, while working on his collage for the Ah Haa School Art Auction.
He then said, "We go from war into peace."
