Shane is walking home from school to hear his father talking to his brother. He overhears his father telling him they are sending him away to private school.
Yick is afraid to ask Melanie out, but does it anyway. He asks her to go to the movies. He wants to see "Revenge of the Reptiles", but agrees to watch "Crying in the Wind" with her instead. Melanie sees the date as one with a friend. She refers to Yick as just a "boy" and says "I'm ready for a MAN," just as Snake walks by.
Snake thinks about asking Melanie out, but Joey and Wheels pick on him about it because she's a grade 7. Shane tells Spike that his parents want to meet with Spike and her mom. "Meeting won't change anything," said Spike, and she walks away.
Snake waits by the water fountain and asks Melanie to the movies. Melanie agrees to go with him to see "Revenge of the Reptiles" one the same night she's supposed to go out with Yick. Melanie then calls Yick to tell him she "can't" go because her parents said no.
Spike goes to her mother's shop to find out she has agreed to meet with Shane and his parents at a restaurant. Shane tells his dad he doesn't want to go to private school. His dad reminds him that his brothers went there. "I'm not like them," Shane said. His father then replies "Well maybe it's time you started trying to be."
Yick is down about not going to the movies with Melanie, but decides to go to the movies with Arthur that night. Snake and Melanie are at the movie, when Wheels and Joey pick on them from the seats behind. Spike and her mom meet Shane and his parents at the restaurant. Most of the time there is awkward silence.
Joey and Wheels continue to torture Snake and Melanie when Melanie sees Yick enter the theater. Yick and Arthur happen to sit on the same row as Melanie and Snake, and Yick sees Melanie. As the movie starts Yick glares at Melanie, then leaves.
Spike's mom says that she won't send Spike away as if she had committed a crime. Shane confronts his dad and tells him he wants to send him away because he embarrasses them. Shane wants to prove that they'll be proud of him and insists that he keep the baby.
Melanie sees Yick at school and he ignores her. Shane apologizes to Spike for their dinner Friday. Shane says that his parents aren't bugging him about private school much anymore. "It's not as easy being the guy as people think," said Shane.

It is my great pleasure to introduce the Department of Physics of Korea University!
Physics is a science involving the basic nature of the fundamental interactions
of matter that fills the universe. It is the most profound academic discipline that
sustains the whole aspects of the natural science, and eventually mathematics and philosophy.
The progress of Physics has provided us with the origin of economic growth that has been
driven by high technologies of each era: Faraday's law of induction is the origin of
electricity without which the world economy breaks down. Dramatic changes of human welfare
are strongly dependent upon the by-products of Physics research, such as wireless communications,
television, computers, mobile phones, and nuclear weapons.
Now we are facing the advent of industry 4.0, which is summarized by cyber-physical systems,
cloud computing, and self-driving cars. Remember that all of the great revolutions of the
human history has been engined by the product of Physics research.
Furthermore, we should bear in mind that the majority of current jobs will ultimately
disappear when the era of industry 4.0 flourishes.
If you want to be a leader in this generation, you should better expand your understanding of Physics.
Physics is the best major to learn for problem that has never been experienced throughout the human history.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged an Orange County-based attorney with defrauding Chinese investors and using their money to buy a yacht and prop up his other businesses.
In a civil suit filed Tuesday, the SEC alleges that Newport Beach lawyer Emilio Francisco raised $72 million between 2013 and September this year from 131 investors who were seeking to participate in the federal EB-5 visa program, which allows foreign investors to apply to permanently live and work in the U.S. in exchange for investments in projects that create American jobs.
The EB-5 program, which began in 1990, has faced scrutiny recently over its potential for fraud.
The SEC said Francisco solicited the funds through his Costa Mesa-based marketing firm PDC Capital and told investors their money would go to EB-5 projects that included opening Caffe Primo restaurants, developing assisted living facilities, and renovating a production facility for environmentally friendly agriculture and cleaning products.

New teachers in the North Bellmore School District received a warm welcome on Aug. 24, when they attended orientation at Martin Avenue Elementary School. The program began with icebreaker activities so the new staff members could get to know each other.
Throughout the day, teachers learned about the district's curriculum in literacy, math, social studies and science, as well as the accompanying resources, in workshops presented by North Bellmore administrators and teachers. They also went home with copies of the book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" by Carol Dweck, which captures the district's philosophy that students and teachers alike should have a growth mindset.
"New teacher orientation is an opportunity to welcome our new staff to the district, educate them about our mission and core values, and show them all we have to offer for academic, social and emotional learning," said Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Janet Pollitt. "From the start, we want to make them feel like a part of the North Bellmore family."
The district welcomes 12 new teachers this year, spread out across the five elementary schools, seven grade levels and special subject areas. That includes three student-teachers who will spend the year at Saw Mill Road Elementary School through the Adelphi University Model Teaching Program.
Julia Kriegel, a special education teacher at Park Avenue Elementary School, is new to the district. She said she is excited to work in a district with a growth mindset philosophy because teachers "never stop being students."
"I'm excited to meet the students and have my own class," added Melissa Reime, a new kindergarten teacher at Park Avenue, who student taught in the district last year. "North Bellmore is incredible. Everyone that I talk to is so willing to help."

This Week in Rankings
This past week I finally finished the series on Paul WS Anderson and Modern Auteurism I started back in April, Army of Milla (Part One: On Vulgar Auteurism, Part Two: On the Resident Evil Movies, Part Three: Resident Evil and Classical Auteurism). The controversy around Vulgar Auteurism gained in volume as the week wore on as other essays on the subject popped up across the internet. I particularly recommend this piece by Peter Labuza and this post by Girish Shambu. Late yesterday, John Lehtonen and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky posted this revision of the original Vulgar Auteurism post at Mubi, in the hopes of deflating some of the criticisms the movement has received by clarifying its intent and canon. I remain unconvinced that Paul WS Anderson is significantly more than the George Sidney of our time, but I also really like George Sidney.
My Summer of Sammo continued this week with reviews of Encounters of the Spooky Kind, Winners & Sinners and Pedicab Driver (and more to come). Someone at letterboxd is trying to create a site-wide survey to compete with the imdb Top 250, this list was my submission. It's the Top Ten I made last year, due to be revised late this summer, around Labor Day weekend.
This weekend I hope to accomplish two things I've been talking about for a long time: finally record the Akira Kurosawa episode of They Shot Pictures (talking about No Regrets for Our Youth, The Idiot and Red Beard) and make it out to a theatre to see Frances Ha. We're leaving for the movie in a matter of hours, my fingers remain crossed for the podcast.
These are the movies I've watched and rewatched over the past week, and where they place on my year-by-year rankings. Links are to my letterboxd comments, where applicable.
The Iron-Fisted Monk (Sammo Hung) - 11, 1977
Knockabout (Sammo Hung) - 15, 1979
Encounters of the Spooky Kind (Sammo Hung) - 8, 1980

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Remember, he is Michael Jordan. The NBA's
greatest player has done it again.
Sick in bed all day with a viral infection, so ill his teammate Scottie
Pippen wondered if he could get his uniform on, Jordan took the Chicago
Bulls to the brink of another NBA championship.
``Sometimes you've got to come out and do what you've got to do,''
Jordan said. ``We wanted it real bad, and me as a leader had to do my
best, and hopefully the team would have to rally around me.''
Before the game, he couldn't stand up without being nauseated or dizzy.
But on Wednesday night, Jordan scored 38 points, 15 in the final
quarter, and led the Bulls to a 90-88 victory over Utah, sending the NBA
Finals back to Chicago with the defending champions up 3-2 in the
best-of-7 series.
The Bulls can win their fifth NBA title of the '90s with a victory at
home Friday night.
``In the fourth quarter, I don't know how I got through that,'' Jordan
said. ``I was just trying to gut myself through it.''
Even when Jordan failed, he turned it into success. After he missed the
go-ahead foul shot with less than a minute to go, he scrambled for the
loose ball and sank a 3-pointer that put the Bulls ahead for good 88-85
with 25 seconds to play.
Jordan called it his best performance, considering the degree of
``I almost played myself into passing out,'' he said. ``I came in and I
was almost dehydrated and it was all just to win a basketball game.''
Pippen, long accustomed to Jordan's achievements, said he'd never seen
his teammate so sick.
``And the effort he came out and gave us was just incredible,'' Pippen
Before the game, Chicago coach Phil Jackson worried about how much
Jordan would be able to play.
``He said, `Let me play, and I'll regulate my minutes and I'll let you
know how I'm doing out there,''' Jackson said, ``and he played 44
minutes. That's an amazing effort.''
Jordan said his energy level was down all night, and he was on automatic
in the final minutes.
``Once I got in the act, I didn't have time to think about it,'' he
said. ``It was more or less instincts.''
The Jazz, stunned by their first home loss in 24 games, had no idea
Jordan wasn't feeling well.
``I don't think he was sick,'' said Bryon Russell, who tried to guard
Jordan most of the night but left him for a double-team on the crucial
3-pointer. ``Did he look sick to you guys?''
On the bench, Jordan did. In the first half, when he got a breather,
sweat beaded on his head like a windshield in a rainstorm.
He seemed to pick his spots. He had just four points in the first
quarter as Utah raced to a 13-point lead.
The lead hit 16 before Jordan's 17 second-quarter points brought the
Bulls back.
In the third quarter, Jordan managed just four points. Then came the
fourth-quarter eruption.
At the start of the game, the Bulls' dynasty seemed on the verge of
crumbling. Jordan was sick. Dennis Rodman was in trouble with the NBA
front office again, this time for his anti-Mormon comments. And the Jazz
fanatics were loudly anticipating crowning a remarkable home season with
their biggest victory yet.
The Jazz raced to a 16-point lead early in the second quarter. But they
were under no illusions that the Bulls were finished.
``When you get down like that from the start and have any competitive
spirit in you, you dig in a little bit deeper and fight a little bit
harder,'' John Stockton said.
No one is more competitive than Jordan.
``We had made a lot of mistakes, but I didn't have the energy to yell at
people,'' Jordan said. ``I just had to sit back and wait until our
defense kicked in and for some of the guys to get over their nerves and
fight our way back into it.''
Pippen struggled through a 5-for-17 shooting night, but had 17 points
and 10 rebounds. On defense, he swarmed all over the floor, and on
offense was able to take advantage of the smaller Jeff Hornacek a few
times on post plays.
It was the threat of that play that freed up Jordan for his big
Toni Kukoc emerged from hibernation to make 3-of-4 3-pointers. Luc
Longley had 12 points on 6-for-7 shooting.
The precision offense of the Jazz, meanwhile, fell apart like a cheap
watch when a victory in the Delta Center, where they had lost only three
times in 51 games, would have brought them within one win of the title.
But the Jazz could not overcome Chicago's defense and their own
All three of their big offensive weapons - Karl Malone, Stockton and
Hornacek - failed to come through. Together, Utah's big three were
2-for-10 from the field in the fourth quarter.
``I don't practice lying,'' Malone said. ``I'm really heartbroken as a
player in a position like this.''
Chicago's defense kept Malone away from the basket. The league's MVP
scored a team-high 19 points, but was just 1-for-6 from the field in the
second half and scored only one point in the fourth quarter.
``We forced Malone a couple of feet out from where he's much more
comfortable shooting the ball,'' Pippen said, ``and it made the
Stockton made a crucial 3-pointer with 3:05 to play, but he had just
five assists for the game, and only one in the final period.
``When we don't do what we're supposed to do as a group, we end up
taking a lot of outside shots, fadeaways, desperation shots,'' he said.
Now the Jazz must rise from crushing disappointment to try to force the
series to a seventh game.
``The sun will come up. I know that,'' Malone said. ``It will be a
little tough. But I can't afford to act like this is over, because it's
not. And I can't afford to make my teammates think that I'm totally out
of it, because obviously I'm not.''
Jordan will have two days to try to improve his health. Pippen isn't
sure he wants Jordan to feel a whole lot better.
``If he's not 100 percent,'' Pippen said, ``I think we'll be better off.''
BETHESDA, Md. (AP) -- As Tiger Woods embarks on the second leg of the
Grand Slam today, the reasons why he should win the U.S. Open are as
numerous as the reasons why he won't.
Woods was truly the Master at Augusta National in April. But this
tournament is truly open.
Since Jack Nicklaus won his fourth U.S. Open in 1980, there has been
only one player who has won this tournament more than once - Curtis
Strange in 1988 and 1989.
The 97th U.S. Open began today at Congressional Country Club under a
cover of thin clouds with a chance of some showers in the afternoon.
Brad Bryant became the first casualty when he withdrew because of the
flu. He was replaced by Steve Hart.
Woods, defending champion Steve Jones and Tom Lehman had a noon tee
Woods may have a game from another world, but there may not be another
course anywhere more suited to his game than Augusta, where drives so
wild they wind up in another fairway can still leave open shots to the
Congressional, the longest course in U.S. Open history at 7,213 yards
for par 70, is another story.
``At Augusta, it was like a driving range, bombs away on the driving,''
Woods said. ``You've got to be in the short grass here. This is a very
demanding driving golf course.''
Woods never needed more than a 4-iron to reach par 5s in two at the
Masters - he used a wedge on No. 15. At Congressional, he hasn't even
bothered trying to reach the two par 5s, measuring 607 and 583 yards.
A walk through U.S. Open rough produces the constant sound of grass
whipping the tops of shoes. The longest grass at Augusta couldn't hide a
``Here, it is different,'' Scotland's Colin Montgomerie said of Woods'
chances at Congressional. ``It takes possibly his greatest asset, which
is length, more out of the equation and gives us mere mortals more of an
opportunity to compete.''
The conditions of the U.S. Open are so demanding that no one has won by
more than two strokes since David Graham in 1981.
``It's going to be tough to win by 12 shots,'' Lehman said.
It's Woods' 12-stroke victory at the Masters, a record-setting
18-under-par 270, that make him a factor anywhere.
Woods is trying to become the first player since Nicklaus in 1972 to win
both the Masters and the U.S. Open. No one has won the four majors that
make up the professional Grand Slam - Ben Hogan came the closest in
1953, winning the Masters, U.S. Open and the British Open. His legs,
battered from a car crash, did not allow him to play in the PGA
``It's realistic because it's possible,'' Nick Faldo said. ``It's pretty
difficult because nobody has done it. The pressure of just getting your
game timed right to win one major is pretty impressive.''
The allure of Woods is his ability to thrive under any conditions,
topping even the wildest of expectations.
``When you think about favorites, you've got to realize that guys who
are good can play any course,'' Lehman said. ``You can put him on the
moon, he can still play good golf. Tiger is no different.
``So, to say he's not one of the favorites is ridiculous.''
Woods won't be the only favorite. No one can play Augusta like Woods,
but U.S. Open venues bring a lot of others into the hunt.
Ernie Els, the 1994 U.S. Open champion, has the length off the tee and
the brute strength to power the ball out of the rough. Montgomerie plays
well in this tournament because he consistently hits the ball straight.
There's also Nick Price, Greg Norman, Phil Mickelson and Davis Love III.
Jones was nobody's favorite last year. For the last five winners of the
U.S. Open, it was their first and only major championship.
It's also the one that Faldo wants more than any of them.
``It's going to demand a lot of good, solid play for the whole week,''
Faldo said. ``It's as simple as that.''

Canadians really are just as kind as they're fabled to be.
When Salma Hamidi was leaving the Finch Subway Station in North York, Ontario, an anxious Latino man entered the car, put his head in his hands, and nervously started saying "Oh God."

Salma offered him an Advil out of her purse, which he accepted with a word of thanks. Since he had nothing to wash it down with, however, he said he would take it later.
"The Middle Eastern woman sitting beside me wearing a hijab, took out a juice box from her kid's backpack and gave it to him telling him that if he takes it now he'll feel better by the time he gets to the interview."
The Russian man started advising him to walk confidently and tie his hair back, if he could. A Chinese teenager sitting nearby overheard his remark and handed the Latino a hair tie from off of her wrist.

When the man's stop finally came, he exited the car and his fellow passengers all waved and wished him good luck.

The Golden Sayings of Epictetus
Public Domain Books
Petrifaction is of two sorts. There is petrifaction of the understanding; and also of the sense of shame. This happens when a man obstinately refuses to acknowledge plain truths, and persists in maintaining what is self-contradictory. Most of us dread mortification of the body, and would spare no pains to escape anything of that kind. But of mortification of the soul we are utterly heedless. With regard, indeed, to the soul, if a man is in such a state as to be incapable of following or understanding anything, I grant you we do think him in a bad way. But mortification of the sense of shame and modesty we go so far as to dub strength of mind!

Congress Extends Surveillance Power
Big Brother is sticking around a little longer. Congress approved a measure Friday to extend controversial surveillance authority for five more years, despite objections that the bill does not properly protect citizens' privacy. The legislation specifically allows the government to eavesdrop on communications involving foreign citizens in the U.S. without obtaining warrants. The bill passed the Senate by a 73-23 vote, and is credited with exposing plots against U.S. targets. Those against the legislation were concerned that the intelligence agencies could search communications of U.S. citizens who communicate with foreigners without warrants through a "backdoor search loophole."

CTV and The Comedy Network commission new comedy pilots
Dan for Mayor and Hiccups, from the writers, producers and actors of homegrown hit Corner Gas, go into production this month.
Pilots for two new half-hour sitcoms, Dan for Mayor, starring Fred Ewanuick (pictured), and Hiccups, starring Nancy Robertson, have been commissioned by CTV and The Comedy Network.
Gemini Award-winning Corner Gas writers and producers Mark Farrell, Paul Mather and Kevin White are creating Dan For Mayor around the character of Dan (Ewanuick, also from Corner Gas) as he finds himself running for mayor of Wessex, a fictional town in Ontario. Production is set to begin Oct. 20, outside Toronto.
Hiccups, written and executive produced by Corner Gas comedian Brent Butt, begins shooting in Vancouver later this month. The pilot revolves around Millie Upton (Robertson), a children's author with emotional quirks who often experiences fits of depression and raging episodes, or 'hiccups.'
Dan for Mayor is produced by Sad Glasses and QVF, while Hiccups is produced by Sparrow Media, both in association with CTV and The Comedy Network.

I wonder how many times I heard this phrase on Japan's NHK Radio English Conversation Program. Hundreds, perhaps. Mr. Katsuaki Togo, the instructor of the program, repeated it so many times to encourage listeners, and it still comes into my head from time to time.
At first, finding ingredients in the fridge and on pantry shelves was a big task. Then, following great success with his initial effort, would come several disappointing outcomes: OK taste but unappetizing appearance, yummy look with dissatisfying taste, and so on. Now, as the mystery of making mabodofu wears off, Tom seems to have settled in his comfort zone where he can produce a tasty dish without me saying something (complaining, as Tom puts it).
How nice when you can count on the other person in the house to cook something you like!
Can you see me with a big smile from a glorious sense of achievement?

The acai (pronounced "ah-sigh-EE") berry diet involves the consumption of acai supplements, most commonly for weight-loss purposes. The acai berry is the fruit of the acai palm tree (
Euterpe oleracea
), which is native to tropical Central and South America. Although it is possible to eat the soft interior stem (the palm heart), the acai plant is better known for its reddish-purple fruit.
Acai has been a traditional food of Amazon natives for hundreds of years. Acai beverages are prepared by extracting juice from the fruit's pulp and skin. Scientific research on acai fruit has focused on its antioxidant properties, which are reported to exceed those of other antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries and pomegranates.
Acai fruit has also shown anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory studies. However, there is currently insufficient evidence available to support the use of acai for any health-related conditions in humans.
Acai berries are said to treat or prevent many health conditions. These conditions include aging, alcohol abuse, anemia, infections, inflammation, rotavirus infection, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), fertility, blood toxicity, cancer, diabetes, diarrhea, indigestion, drowsiness, fever, hair loss, heart disease, hemorrhage (bleeding), hepatitis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, immune problems, jaundice, kidney problems, liver disease, malaria, menstrual pain, muscle pain, parasitic infection, sexual dysfunction, skin problems (including acne), ulcers, and wrinkles. Most of these claims are not supported by scientific research.
Advocates of the acai berry diet claim that the antioxidants in the berries enhance general well-being and vitality, which may in turn support weight loss. Promoters of the diet say that the berry has a combination of essential fatty acids, amino acids, and phytosterols that work in unison to improve metabolism, enhance digestion, and reduce appetite. The acai berry diet is often paired with a colon-cleansing product, or with other nutritional ingredients that are said to enhance weight loss. However, claims made for rapid weight loss without accompanying lifestyle modifications are unsubstantiated. There is a lack of credible evidence showing that acai berry supplementation alone promotes weight loss.
The acai berry diet gained popularity after it was coined the "number one superfood for better health and anti-aging" in 2007 on the Oprah Winfrey Show. It was widely publicized in the media that both Oprah Winfrey and Rachel Ray lost weight using acai berry supplements, although it is not clear if these claims were verified. A multitude of manufacturers and distributors have capitalized on this publicity by selling acai berry supplements with their own unsubstantiated health claims. Oprah Winfrey has since sued many of these companies for using her name without permission to endorse their products.
It is important to purchase acai products from a reputable source, such as a trusted natural food store. There are many reports of scams, however, with some online companies illegally billing their customers for "free" trials of acai berry products. After canceling their free trials, thousands of these consumers have had trouble stopping recurrent credit card charges from being submitted by these companies. Some Web sites that warn about acai-related scams are themselves untrustworthy. Many acai supplement companies have "F" satisfaction ratings from the U.S. Better Business Bureau.
Theory / Evidence
Weight loss
: There are many claims that acai berry supplements cause rapid weight loss. While these claims are difficult to substantiate, acai berries do contain healthful constituents that could aid in a weight loss program that is based on proper nutrition and exercise. In particular, acai berries contain healthy fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which may increase the body's metabolism, enabling it to burn unwanted fat stores. Acai berries also contain high levels of fiber, which aid in digestion and may make an individual feel fuller for a longer period of time. In addition, the acai berry is rich with amino acids, which the body uses to build muscles and to stay healthy. The phytosterols found in acai may lower cholesterol levels.
Other uses
: Scientific research on acai fruit has centered on its potential antioxidant properties. Acai fruit has also shown anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory studies. Currently, there is insufficient available evidence to support the use of acai for any health-related conditions in humans.

The acai berry diet involves incorporating commercially available acai supplements, juices, powders, or dried fruit into one's diet. The fresh fruit is usually not available because it spoils within a few days after it is harvested.
Marketers of acai supplements offer many blends of acai that contain additional "anti-aging" antioxidants; these products typically include herbs that are advertised to support weight loss. For example, one Web site sells a "Weight Loss Trifecta," consisting of acai berry, a colon-cleansing supplement, and resveratrol (an antioxidant).
The acai berry diet is often advocated as a weight-loss strategy. However, it is not clear what the most effective dose may be. Additionally, there is a lack of credible evidence showing that acai berry supplementation alone promotes weight loss. Consumers are encouraged to meet with their physicians and/or dietitians before making any drastic dietary changes.
According to various secondary sources, users have typically consumed 1-2 daily cups of tea; this tea has been derived from the roots of the acai palm tree. The daily consumption of about 100 grams (3.5oz) of frozen acai pulp has also been anecdotally recommended. Many Brazilians drink up to one liter (34oz) of acai juice daily. Additional recommended doses from secondary sources include: 1oz of acai powder mixed with 10-12oz of water once or twice daily, or 1-2 grams of freeze-dried acai in capsules or tablets daily.
Acai fruit smoothies are reported to contain a blend of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, bananas, acai berry pulp, and crushed ice. Another acai-based serving suggestion is a "power snack" fruit salad, made with apples, pears, bananas, strawberries, raspberries and grapes, all sprinkled with acai berry powder.

|Care Sheets - Parasites
| If you're buying imported or store-bought chameleons go through the usual checklist of ailments. Dehydration is the number one priority as this is usually symptomatic of another condition, such as parasites, stress or improper care. The chameleon's skin should be plump. The eyes should be bright, round and alert. Mouths should be free of lesions or abrasions.
The parasite load of imported F. oustaleti can be high. I have had more difficulty getting rid of the parasites in this species than any other with which I've worked. Because of the size and severe parasite load that is possible, I highly recommend that a veterinarian who is experienced with chameleons handle the treatment. If the chameleon's parasite count is
low and taken care of quickly there is a good chance for a long, healthy life.
The parasite check/treatment regimen I have used with success is as follows: Always get a fecal check so you know what you are dealing with. If needed, a round of Panacur is my first course of action. This is followed by Flagyl, if necessary. After both treatments are completed a follow up fecal exam is done. If all tests are clean, I get a blood test to rule out any other
possible parasites. If all are negative, I wait three months and get another fecal. If the veterinarian says it's necessary, I repeat the process. I recommend an annual fecal exam as a preventative measure for all chameleons, even if they're captive bred. Chameleons are often labeled as "advanced" chameleons, and I believe this may be due tothe parasite issue, or the cost of the treatments involved to deparasitize the lizards. Once the parasite problem is resolved, however, Oustalet's are
pretty much bullet proof in my experience. Be careful purchasing an adult in a store or trade show. They may not live long if purchased too old, or the parasite issue is not controlled. When you purchase any chameleon from a trade show or pet store please do the animal and yourself a favor and get a fecal check. This is the only way to be completely assured the animal doesn't have parasites. Any vet, even one who has no chameleon experience is capable of doing a fecal check, costing on the average 25$. This is a simple test, which can save lives if parasites are detected early. Simply take a stool fresh sample to the vet leaving the animal at home. Even a healthy looking chameleon, with full skin, a tight grip and strong tongue can harbor a fatal load of parasites, which become agitated and grow to unmanageable levels in a relatively short amount of time in captivity. Parasites are aggravated by stress, which is a huge issue with any chameleon. There is no reason for responsible chameleon owners to allow a chameleon to die from a parasite load. Even a very heavy load of parasites, if caught early, in an otherwise healthy chameleon, can be treated and cured. Not all parasites can be detected by only a fecal check. Additional tests such as blood tests may be needed as well. The average prospective chameleon owner needs to be prepared to spend not only time on this creature, but money. The chameleon itself will normally be the least expensive of the start up costs for your pet. Although I believe chameleon should be in natural sunlight as much as possible, an indoor environment is fine for most animals. You will need the right cage (full screen a minimum of 2 foot by one foot), lights (a full spectrum florescent and a heat dome light), plants (something non toxic like a ficus benjemin), Hudson Sprayer for the water, humidifier (do yourself a favor and pay for the more expensive one with the auto shut off), sticks and vines etc. The hidden costs will include the parasite check, possible treatment, follow up vet visits as well as a follow up fecal check and possible blood work or other tests for bacterial infections may be needed. Parasites sound scary. But in reality not only do chameleons usually come from the wild with some sort of parasite, captive animals can contract them at any time from their feeder insects. This is perfectly normal. An annual fecal check is a wise precaution for all long your chameleons, wild caught or captive bred.
Take precautions to make sure they have been deparasitized if they are wild caught, keep humidity at a high level and house separately. Chameleons will become stressed by viewing another chameleon in a cage across the room. If you notice solitary the chameleon being stressed, coloring up, hissing or puffing up for no apparent reason, they may be seeing their own reflection or have view of a chameleon in another cage.

CDC Updates HIV/AIDS Basic Statistics Web Page
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently updated the HIV Infection and AIDS Basic Statistics Web page with information from the HIV Surveillance Report: Diagnoses of HIV infection and AIDS in the United States and Dependent Areas, 2008. This page provides information and statistics on HIV/AIDS in the United States, including statistical breakdowns of HIV and AIDS diagnoses by age, race/ethnicity, and transmission methods. The page also provides links to Web sites to find HIV infection data by state and links to locate international HIV/AIDS statistics.
Study Suggests Long-Term Increases in CD4 Counts Occur in HIV-Infected People Receiving ART
"To inform guidelines concerning when to initiate combination antiretroviral therapy (ART), [study researchers] investigated whether CD4(+) T-cell counts (CD4 cell counts) continue to increase over long periods of time on ART. … [Study researchers] estimated the long-term CD4 cell count trajectory accounting for losses-to-follow-up and treatment discontinuations. … The study population included 898 US patients first initiating ART in a randomized trial (AIDS Clinical Trials Group 384); 575 were subsequently prospectively followed in an observational study (AIDS Clinical Trials Group Longitudinal Linked Randomized Trials). … Inverse probability of censoring weighting statistical methods were used to estimate the CD4 cell count trajectory accounting for losses-to-follow-up and ART discontinuations, overall and for pretreatment CD4 cell count categories (<or=200, 201-350, 351-500, and >500 cells/microl). … Median CD4 cell count increased from 270 cells/microl pre-ART to an estimated 556 cells/microl at 3 and 532 cells/microl at 7 years after starting ART in analyses ignoring treatment discontinuations, and to 570 and 640 cells/microl, respectively, had all patients continued ART. However, even had ART been continued, an estimated 25, 9, 3, and 2% of patients with pretreatment CD4 cell counts of 200 or less, 201-350, 351-500, and more than 500 cells/microl would have had CD4 cell counts of 350 cells/microl or less after 7 years. … If patients remain on ART, CD4 cell counts increase in most patients for at least 7 years. However, the substantial percentage of patients starting therapy at low CD4 cell counts who still had low CD4 cell counts after 7 years provides support for ART initiation at higher CD4 cell counts."

Now anyone who knows me, K.N.O.W.S I am a football widow! My husband LOOOVES football- LOVES! When we first moved in together(6 yrs ago), he used to place all the televisions into our family room, enabling him to watch multiple games at one time. Yes, I am serious! Thankfully we are now down to one!
I on the other hand don't really like football, just the idea of it- beer, food, friends, fun, entertaining. If you asked me to name 10 football teams, I could try- but I am not sure if I would make it... without cheating, let me seeeeee...
1. Baltimore Ravens
2. Indianapolis Colts
3. Dallas Cowboys
4. New York Giants
5. New York Jets
6. ummmmm... oh the Redskins
7. Cincinnati Bengals
8. Philadelphia Eagles
OK- I am so bad, but listen I am an entertainer- no time for football- lets talk beer. Ordinarily you will find me with a cocktail in hand at any event- but ladies this is the NFL football playoffs and we must offer fabulous beer at our parties!!!! Do you feel the enthusiasm? Place your beautiful cocktail glasses aside and grab a nice cold one(be sure to recycle)!
Soooo... here is my Top 5 Most Fabulous Football Party Beer List!
1. Heineken Keg Can
2. Stella Artois
3. Samuel Adams Winter Lager
4. New Castle Brown Ale
5. Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout
PS- This list was compiled with the help of Bradley Bornman(husband), professional beer drinking extraordinaire!

Veterans Hotline: Hospital changes and new award for vets
I attended a congressional forum in Grand Junction on Monday. Items of discussion were the progress of a VA hospital in Denver, attendance results of outreach clinics, management updates, an administrative update and a report from customer relations.
The VA hospital in Denver has hit a big snag because of over-budget expenditures. So work has slowed down until the VA and a contractor come up with a new agreement.
The attendance in our clinic in Craig has increased over last year by 12 percent. This is good news, and hopefully, we can get more services up here.
Management and administration are dealing with issues at the hospital.
The report from Paul Sweeney, director of customer relations, dealt with firearms and post-traumatic stress disorder.
If a veteran being treated for PTSD is not considered a threat, his or her weapons will not be taken away. Also, those people are not placed on any type of list while being treated. This would be a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
A letter to all veterans who are not enrolled in VA health care is being sent out to inform them of procedures for enrolling in health care and the benefits they can receive. I have copies in my office, so if you do not get one in the near future, please drop by and I will give you one.
There is an award available to veterans. It is called the Cold War Victory Commemorative Military Medal. This award honors all soldiers, sailors and Marines who served between Sept. 2, 1945, and December 1991.
Even though your DD Form 214 may not reflect this, your dates of service will be proof. I have the form to fill out if anyone would like to send it to the Military Personnel Records Center.
The VFW monthly meeting is at 7 p.m. Aug. 19 at 419 E. Victory Way. American Legion's meeting is at 7 p.m. Aug. 20 at 1055 Moffat County Road 7.

Jetstar Is About To Make A Change That New Parents Will HATE
Jetstar has brought in a new charge for parents who are travelling domestically with babies on their lap.
Families who have children under two, who do not need a seat, who will now have to $30 each way on a domestic flight and $50 for international flights.
It had previously been free to bring under-twos on domestic flights between Australia and New Zealand and any domestic flights. For international flights, it has always been $40.
Virgin and Qantas do not currently charge for babies to travel on domestic flights but there is a change of 10% of the full fare on international flights.
Air New Zealand also has the same charge for babies, while Air Asia charges $50, Singapore Airlines $51 and TigerAir costs $75.
"The infant fee for domestic flights brings us in line with the other low-cost carrier in Australia, which has had an infant fee since 2009," a Jetstar spokesperson told news.com.au.
"Families travelling with infants on Jetstar can bring up to four oversized items for their holiday as part of the infant fee including a pram, stroller, portable cot and highchair.
"These items are often oversized so cannot be handled like standard baggage. Like other oversized items, there is additional manual handling and equipment required for oversized infant items like prams.
"We know that fees and charges can be unpopular, but giving customers' choice and charging each customer for what they need helps us to offer the lowest possible fares, every day."

Riley Lakin + White Oak Score Big Early to Take Down Bullard, 35-14
[By Larry Krantz, Special to ETSN.fm]
BULLARD – White Oak used big plays to score on four of its first five possessions and never looked back en route to a 35-14 win Friday against the Bullard Panthers at Panther Stadium.
Roughnecks running back Riley Lakin rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns, including capping an 11-play, 66-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown run on the game's opening possession. Lakin's second touchdown, a 14-yarder, capped a five-play, 64-yard drive and gave White Oak a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
After holding Bullard to a 3-and-out on its first possession, Roughnecks receiver Jansen McCurdy scored on a 64-yard catch-and-run thrown by receiver Gabe Michael on a double-pass from quarterback Dylan Gale.
Gale completed 8 of 17 passes for 79 yards and ran for two touchdowns.
McCurdy finished with four catches for 96 yards.
Bullard quarterback Connor Mebane rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown, which briefly cut the White Oak lead to 21 midway through the third quarter, but lost a fumble late in the game that killed a 12-play drive that started at the Bullard 1 and ended at the White Oak 25.
It was the game's only turnover.
Running back Austin Skelton scored Bullard's other touchdown when he broke free around left end and shrugged off a pair of Roughnecks defenders en route to a 61-yard score.
White Oak's special teams had a big night, nearly tackling punter Zach Aldridge in his own end zone after he barely found the handle on a bad snap, and when Gale dropped a 43-yard punt on the Bullard 1.
Gale cashed in the near safety with a 2-yard touchdown run on the next play, handing the Roughnecks a 21-0 lead at the time.
Bullard (1-1) plays host to Diboll next Friday while White Oak (2-0) plays host to Spring Hill.

VMware Cluster as create and enable HA from VirtualCenter.
Posted by Xaus Xavier Nadal 1st on December 2012
To create a VMware cluster we have an essential form of a VirtualCenter (vCenter) and therefore of physical servers ESX 2 installed.
What we want to install a VirtualCenter server and put under a vmware cluster?
For various reasons including: vmotion (You can move virtual machines from one host hot ESX to another), Storage VMotion (Included by default in the 5.1 version of the standard license) you can move the virtual machine datastore hot (awesome) ... if a LUN is no space you can move the machine to another LUN without losing service, Fault Tolerance, ... With all this we make it easier for example spend all virtual servers from one physical server to another and so can upgrade ESX smoothly.
We from here I highly recommend it.
You can follow the following items according to your preferences, to install VirtualCenter if you have it already installed.
When you have installed the vCenter and you may access it through a vSphere client, only you should follow these steps that we show below:
Create new Datacenter.
Create new cluster.
Add Hosts.

A Northamptonshire foster carer is asking people to consider whether they have the skills required to care for a teenager.
Northamptonshire County Council is always looking to recruit more foster carers and there is a particular need for people who can offer a home to an older child in the 11 to 15 age range.
Latest figures show that 216 of the 539 children currently in foster care in Northamptonshire are teenagers.
Colin Clement and his wife Jackie have been foster carers for Northamptonshire County Council for 12 years and have fostered a number of teenagers.
Colin, who is chairman of the Northamptonshire Foster Carers Association, said: "Family life for us as foster carers of young people is chaotic, challenging and rewarding on a daily basis. It's never boring as there is always something new to learn.
"Teenagers are already adults in the making, so our role is to help them make the right choices for themselves. Watching teenagers grow, develop and express their own opinions is incredibly rewarding, as is seeing them reach educational and emotional milestones and gain independence.
"To be a foster carer for a teenager, you need to be able to accept the challenging times along with the rewards, but if you think you can improve the life chances of a young person I would encourage you to give it some thought."
People who apply to become a foster carer will receive full training and support from a designated social worker, as well as financial support through a weekly allowance.
Alex Hopkins, county council director of children, families and education, said: "The teenage years can be a difficult time in any young person's life and particularly for teenagers in care. We're looking for people to come forward to offer a loving, stable home to these young people when they need it the most.
"Our foster carers who already look after teenagers say there are great rewards in caring for an older child or teenager because you can offer vital support and guidance to help them develop confidence and self-esteem and make plans for the future.
"It can be incredibly challenging – but our carers say the rewards of seeing the young person grow and fulfil their potential make it all worthwhile."
To become a short or long-term foster carer, people must:
Have space and time in their life to care for a child
Have a spare bedroom
Be able to work as part of a team
Be physically and mentally fit
Have patience, flexibility, time and energy
For information about becoming a foster carer with Northamptonshire County Council is available by calling 0300 126 1009 or by visiting www.fosterme.co.uk.

BP website, Jan 14, 2011
BP and Rosneft announced today [Jan 14] that they have agreed a groundbreaking strategic global alliance.
Rosneft and BP have agreed to explore and develop three license blocks - EPNZ 1,2,3 – on the Russian Arctic continental shelf. [See map below -- D.R.] These licences were awarded to Rosneft in 2010 and cover approximately 125,000 square kilometres in a highly prospective area of the South Kara Sea. This is an area roughly equivalent in size and prospectivity to the UK North Sea.
Map: Location and Scale of South Kara Sea Licences
Source: BP
This historic agreement creates the first major equity-linked partnership between a national and international oil company. Following completion of this agreement, Rosneft will hold 5 per cent of BP's ordinary voting shares in exchange for approximately 9.5 per cent of Rosneft's shares. The share swap component of the alliance creates strategic alignment to pursue joint [oil and gas] projects and demonstrates mutual confidence in the growth potential of both companies.
BP and Rosneft have also agreed to establish an Arctic technology centre in Russia which will work with leading Russian and international research institutes, design bureaus and universities to develop technologies and engineering practices for the safe extraction of hydrocarbon resources from the Arctic shelf. The technology centre will build on BP's deep offshore experience and learnings with full emphasis on safety, environmental integrity and emergency spill response capability.
Rosneft and BP have agreed to continue their joint technical studies in the Russian Arctic to assess hydrocarbon prospectivity in areas beyond the Kara Sea. The parties will also seek additional opportunities for international collaboration beyond their 50/50 joint venture partnership in Ruhr Oel GmbH, a refining joint venture in Germany (subject to completion of Rosneft's recent purchase of 50 per cent of Ruhr Oel from PDVSA).
Igor Sechin, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, who participated in the signing ceremony, said: "Global capital and Russian companies are clearly ready to invest in world class projects in Russia; and Russian companies are quickly emerging at the forefront of the global energy industry."
BP's chief executive, Bob Dudley, said: "This unique agreement underlines our long-term, strategic and deepening links with the world's largest hydrocarbon-producing nation. We are very pleased to be joining Russia's leading oil company to jointly explore some of the most promising parts of the Russian Arctic, one of the world's last remaining unexplored basins. Underpinning this alliance is a new type of relationship based on a significant cross-shareholding, and bringing together technology, exploration and safe and responsible field development skills. We are very pleased to welcome Rosneft as a strategic partner and major shareholder in the BP Group."
Rosneft's President, Eduard Khudainatov, said: "I am pleased that in just a few months we've significantly moved forward in implementing Russia's offshore strategy. In its operations, our future joint venture will utilize the experience and expertise of BP, one of the leaders in the global oil and gas industry. This project is unique in its complexity and scale both for Russia and the global oil and gas industry. We see it as the next step in developing our relations with BP."
BP Chairman, Carl-Henric Svanberg, said: "The world's need for energy continues to increase. BP is working with national oil companies using its leading exploration skills and expertise to meet this demand. This is a trend which will increase as access to resource becomes scarcer.
This landmark deal creates a deep partnership which represents a new stage in these relationships. The exchange of shares demonstrates our mutual commitment. The BP board believes that the combination of assets and skills will unlock significant value and thus the issue of shares to Rosneft is in the interests of all shareholders."
The aggregate value of the shares in BP to be issued to Rosneft is approximately $7.8bn (as at close of trading in London on 14 January 2011). The transaction is subject to certain listing approvals and the completion of certain administrative requirements and is expected to complete within a few weeks. BP and Rosneft view their cross-shareholdings as long term and strategic.
Rosneft is Russia's leading oil producing company. Read More
(BP already has a 1.3% stake in Rosneft and as a result of the announced transaction, BP's stake in Rosneft will increase to 10.8% -- i.e. 9.5% + 1.3%. Also, Russia accounts for around one quarter of the British energy giant's total production -- before the U.S. oil spill. In 1998, BP and Rosneft started an alliance that eventually led to the formation of three joint ventures to conduct exploration on the Russian continental shelf, offshore Sakhalin. BP also owns 50% of Russia's third biggest oil producer, TNK-BP -- see my blog post here. Rosneft's major shareholder (75.16% of shares) is the company Rosneftegaz, 100% state-owned. For the Rosneft's profile, see Platts Top 250 Global Energy Company Rankings -- No. 14, in my blog here. Rosneft has proved reserves of approximately 18.1 billion barrels of oil and 816 billion cubic meters of gas. As of year-end 2009, Rosneft's total proved oil and gas reserves under PRMS classification were 22.9 billion barrels of oil equivalent, among the highest for a publicly traded petroleum company worldwide, according to Rosneft's website. Also -- according to Platts data, the company operates 1,690 filling stations in 39 regions of the Russia Federation and 7 refineries. It has operations primarily in Western Siberia, Southern and Central Russia, Timan-Pechora, Eastern Siberia, and the Far East, as well as in Kazakhstan and Algeria. -- D.R.)
