There's much to like about Neutral Milk Hotel's return to touring. For one, it seems to be on Jeff Mangum's terms. Secondly, it's a bit of a victory lap for an album (In the Aeroplane Over the Sea) that has become a cult classic since its release. Of course, it's also a way for us to publicly pat ourselves on the back for getting on board in a way we couldn't before. It's a reunion tour in every sense. A celebration of great music, surely, but also kind of frozen in time.
So maybe a more undersold excitement to this tour is the presence of Elf Power, a still-active pop act from Athens. They're also a band that has hit its stride yet again. After drifting a bit on records like Walking with the Beggar Boys and In a Cave, Elf Power's eponymous record last year, a tribute to Vic Chesnutt, was heartbreaking and excellent. And now, with Sunlight on the Moon, they shift their sound again and continue the mix of surprise and consistency you might expect (and not) from a band that's been around this long.
The album veers away from the bittersweet clarity of sound they achieved on Elf Power. Instead, Andrew Rieger, Laura Carter, and company filter their honed soundcraft through their early-career love of lo-fi fuzz. Of course, this isn't so much low fidelity as it is carefully considered gauze, but it works none the less. Opener "Transparent Lines" glides on clean a drum machine and Rieger's cracked-sugar voice. It's a pinging acoustic hook and distant keys that scuff the song up some, as Rieger puzzles out a dream world that may or may not have a clear border to distance it from reality. "A Grey Cloth Covering My Face" is more upfront with his haze, letting distorted guitar buzz over the track while a simple tambourine rattles the smooth strumming the song is built on. Later, songs like the title track and "Darkest Wave" pick the tempo up and make these elements sound more muscled. The former is a power-pop gem, the latter an intimate folk thumper, but both quicken the pulse in interesting times.
These meshes between the smooth and the scuffed, between the sweet and the stinging are fitting for a record that seems to deal in distances. It's an album still interested in death – in images of darkness and stillness and even war – but it also shows how life can get between things. There is all kinds of openings on the record, doors in particular, but often people don't pass through them. Instead, they look from one side of the threshold at someone or something far off in the distance. Elf Power has always had its own sort of mythology in its music, just enough of the fantastic to make it seem otherworldly. Their best recent work, though, has concerns rooted deeply in terra firma. The best parts of this record do that just. Sure, there are demons on, say, "Manifestations", but it's important to note that "time's long reach" here is compared to "an underground stream." It is part of the world, part of the land this record travels across. That album title, in the end, is not about where these emotions play out but rather how they're lit, by the hopeful light of day or the gray isolated shine of night.
The balance of fuzz and clarity is a careful one, and the scales do tip here and there. "Strange Designs" has guitars that crunch nicely, but the drum machine under it feels too thin to hold the weight of that chug. "Chromosome Blues" has a similar problem, where interesting and thick textures fall through the melting ice of a plodding beat. Elsewhere, the band's signature sound seems too eager to borrow from others. "Darkest Wave", a solid track, is nearly undone by a riff that copies "Paint It Black" almost wholesale, while "Things Lost" feels a bit like Elf Power doing Elf Power, a song that could be stuck into any of their albums without upsetting the mix.
But even when things seem to stumble a bit, Elf Power never loses its charm. The band has found a knack over time for addressing more approachable and bittersweet emotions while also opening up a playful streak in their music. Sunlight on the Moon is not the best Elf Power record, which would be a tough task for a band with so much great output, but it's another sign of the band's lasting sound and continued growth.

I had an interesting meeting with the new head of marketing for Habanos S.A., the global distribution and marketing organization for Cuban cigars. Ana Lopez, just returned from a number of years in London working with the U.K. agent for Cuban cigars, Hunters & Frankau. Ana is a very switched on lady. Gonzalo Fernández de Navarrete and Jose Antonio Candia, the dynamic marketing duo from Habanos, were also there. We covered a lot of ground.

Do you remember the '70s song "Copacabana"? In the disco hit, singer Barry Manilow warns, "Don't fall in love" with a pretty showgirl at "the hottest spot north of Havana." (Of course, Copacabana Beach itself is in Rio de Janeiro, far south of Havana, but the song refers to a famous nightclub located in New York City. It's one of those catchy old songs that you just can't get out of your head, whether you care for it or not.)
Sometimes investments are the same way; how many of us have "fallen in love" and held on to a stock for too long, because we believed we knew something that was important? Yet even if our information is correct, it doesn't always matter in the end. The possibility of some unknown event is always lurking in the distance.
I remember falling in love with some early Internet stocks in the mid-'90s, names like Spyglass and UUNet. I fell in love with the story about how the Internet would take over the world, and the story was true -- it just didn't matter if you were holding those particular stocks. And hold them I did, until they were well below my purchase price, because I was such a firm believer in the story behind the stocks.
This was a hard lesson for a guy who was just starting out -- to learn that what thought you knew didn't really matter, that there was always something else happening in the background and you'd never know for sure if you had all the facts. Spyglass in particular left a mark on both my psyche and my portfolio, but it also taught me a valuable lesson: not to be too firm of a believer in anything in this game. Not to fall in love with any position, be it long or short.
Yesterday I took a little shrapnel for my decision to buy puts on InterDigital (IDCC), the stock that has drawn so much attention as a patent play. IDCC's patents might be of great interest to the likes of Google (GOOG), Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT), and now Qualcomm (QCOM) is rumored to be in the mix.
I'm new here at Real Money and I want you to know that I encourage your comments, and I appreciate the comments that I received yesterday. They were directed at me by someone who clearly knows more about patent technology than I do, and I respect that.
But it doesn't always matter how much you know, because there is always something lurking out there that we don't know -- that's why we look at the charts, because those who do know what we don't are probably acting on that knowledge, and the chart will show this in the forms of patterns and volume. I see a bearish double-top pattern on IDCC, but even technical analysis is just a guideline, not a guarantee that something will or won't happen.
This morning, the S&P 500 is moving higher once again. Once again, I'm hoping for a pop on InterDigital. If it pops enough, I'll sell some puts. But I'm not so in love with my idea that I'll short it outright. There may be something brewing that I don't know about, so by purchasing puts I'll have a small, clearly defined risk on this speculative position.
I have my opinion, but at the same time I know that I don't know for certain what will come next. I know I might be wrong. I figure it's OK to be wrong, because that's part of the business. It's just not OK to let being wrong kill you.
It's easy to become emotionally attached to a stock or the story behind the stock. But trading should be a dispassionate exercise, not one where our emotions run high. Don't fall in love with a stock, and don't fall in love with what you think you know about a stock. In the nimble world of trading and investments, we always have to maintain the ability to let go.
In the meantime, please keep your comments coming. A difference of opinion is what makes a market, and I invite you to share your opinions with me.

Hawker Beechcraft key creditors voted "overwhelmingly" today to approve the Wichita-based OEM's proposed Joint Plan of Reorganization as part of its efforts to emerge from bankruptcy.
Also according to the company, J.P.Morgan Securities and Credit Suisse Securties have agreed to act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners to structure, arrange and syndicate $600 million in exit financing that consists of a term loan and a revolving line of credit. Further, affiliated banks of the joint lead arrangers have committed to underwrite the financing.
The financing "will be used to repay all claims under the debtor-in-possession (DIP) post-petition credit facility, pay certain settlement and cure payments and fund ongoing operations." The financing is subject to, among other things, completion of definitive financing documentation and approval of the bankruptcy court.
"The reorganized Beechcraft Corporation will emerge from this process in a strong operational and financial position, with the working capital and flexibility to execute a strategy building around our core products … which will enable the company well into the future," said Hawker Beechcraft chairman Bill Boisture.
Hawker Beechcraft expects to seek approval from the court to exit bankruptcy at the confirmation hearing scheduled for January 31, and anticipates it will emerge from Chapter 11 in the second half of February.
Upon emergence, pre-petition security bank debt, unsecured bond debt and certain general unsecured claims will be cancelled and holders of such claims will receive equity in the reorganized company in percentages negotiated by the major creditor groups at the time the company announced its Chapter 11 proceedings in May 2012.
A new board of directors will be appointed by the new owners of the company and will take over on the official date of emergence. According to various sources, the new owners are Centerbridge Partners, Angelo Gordon & Company, Sankaty Advisors and Capital Research & Management.
Hawker Beechcraft was acquired from Raytheon by a consortium of Onex Partners and Goldman Sachs in 2006.

Building a great team starts at the very beginning. Your organization cannot function at its ideal level if you don't have the best resources and assets. And the most important of those assets are your employees.
Hiring Blook – 10 Success Steps for Effective Hiring
Want to hire right, the first time and every time? Our latest hiring blook tells you how.
We've compiled a wide variety of pragmatic blog articles and tips guaranteed to help you find, develop and retain superstar employees. The blook delves into common and effective hiring trends, as well as how assessments can impact your organization.
Best Hiring Practices Overview
You can't assemble a team of star employees without an effective and reliable process for recruiting, screening and evaluating candidates. You need a system that is efficient and accomplishes your goals, while also allowing the process to move as quickly as possible. You also want to eliminate the possibility of human errors or personal biases. This is a task that requires fairness, objectivity and consistency.
As a small business, your budget may be limited and your hiring staff may be small. You may not have the in-house resources to handle the type of thorough screening and hiring tactics you would like—yet you cannot afford expensive outside services.
How Hiring Practices Affect Your Business
Without a structured hiring system in place, it will be difficult for you to identify candidates who may not meet your standards or any specific criteria you may have established for the specific position. You may also waste valuable time and resources by using an outdated or inefficient process. At the same time, you may overlook a potential employee simply because you lack the tools to identify their potential.
How We Can Help
The first step in your hiring process should be a pre-screening system. This lets you eliminate any candidates that may present concerns or issues. This is also a way to identify those candidates who may not meet your standards or any specific criteria you may have established for the specific position.
At Profiles International, we have pre-screening solutions that include in-depth background checks and assessments. For the next stage of the hiring process—the interview—our candidate assessment tools will help you save time and resources, allowing you to quickly identify the best people for your team.
Learn more about the importance of a consistent interview process.

New York, May 19 2014 – For the first time, London posts the highest score among the 30 cities studied by PwC US in the sixth edition of its Cities of Opportunity report, released today. London, the only city to finish first in three of the 10 indicators—economic clout, city gateway and technology readiness, a category it ties with Seoul—was followed by New York and Singapore. The study shows that top ranked cities embody the energy, opportunity and hope that draw people to city life. High performing cities also find the right balance between social and economic strengths in a world being quickly shaped by inescapable global trends.
Moving up four spots from the last edition, Singapore takes third place overall and finishes first in two indicators—ease of doing business and transportation and infrastructure. Despite not having a top rank in any indicator, New York continues to show strong consistency across most of the categories. Rounding out the top five cities are Toronto and San Francisco.
As for London, the city outperforms New York by a good margin after finishing second in a virtual tie with New York in 2012. Results show London is developing a strong foundation for the future with top economic strength, openness to the world and technology readiness—all critical building blocks for further growth in a digitally and physically connected world. In addition, London finishes a narrow second to Paris in intellectual capital and innovation and comes in second—virtually tying Sydney—in demographics and liveability, both key areas for future urban prosperity.
"Changing demographics, shifts in economic power and the concepts of urbanization being realized are the forces taking the world in a new direction," said Bob Moritz, PwC's US Chairman and Senior Partner. "Cities are increasingly competing for talent and are working hard to capture the promise of growth from the many opportunities in today's rapidly changing world. As a result, people are looking for more potential for personal opportunity while demanding critical elements to increase quality of life. It's the top ranking cities in this year's study that are demonstrating the foresight that is needed to adapt, stay competitive and thrive for a sustainable positive future."
Cities of Opportunity 6 also highlights the increasing competitiveness of emerging cities across several key indicators. Beijing, which ranked 19th, finishes in the top three in both the city gateway and economic clout categories, while Seoul is top in technology readiness and is the only emerging city to reach the top 10 in the ease of doing business indicator. Seoul and Buenos Aires also break into the top three for transportation and infrastructure, while Johannesburg is in the top three for cost.
The Cities of Opportunity key indicators and top three cities within each are:
The full report is available at http://www.pwc.com/cities. The site also features in-depth video interviews with leaders including Bob Moritz, PwC's US Chairman and Senior Partner, Erik Brynjolfsson of MIT's center for digital business, and Ulla Hamilton, Deputy Mayor of Stockholm for entrepreneurism.
Cities of Opportunity 6: We, the urban people
In June, PwC will release Cities of Opportunity 6: We, the urban people, that will include findings from a global survey of 15,000 PwC professional staff—comprised of an average of 20 percent of staff in each of the 30 cities. The study, which was used to enrich the data of the main Cities of Opportunity 6 report, will provide an in-depth look at demographics and quality of urban life, including responses on commuting, urban priorities, likelihood of remaining in the city, preferences for relocation, and spending patterns, among other revealing points.
Cities of Opportunity is based on publicly available data, using three main sources: global multilateral development organizations such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund; national statistics organizations, such as National Statistics in the UK and the Census Bureau in the US; and commercial data providers. The data was collected during the third and fourth quarters of 2013. Besides adding Jakarta, Nairobi, and Rio de Janeiro to the study, PwC also replaced Abu Dhabi with Dubai, which brought the study to 30 cities total, the largest to date. The scoring methodology was developed to facilitate transparency and simplicity for readers, as well as comparability across cities.

AUTO RACING; Late Pass Allows Harvick To Take Road-Course Win
By DAVE CALDWELL
Published: August 14, 2006
Tony Stewart swept past Kevin Harvick to take the lead late Sunday afternoon in the Nascar Nextel Cup race at Watkins Glen International. The pass followed form. Stewart is a road-course demon; Harvick had never won a road-course race.
Harvick was alarmed, anyway. He told himself after the pass that he had to pick it up, and he did. Three laps from the finish, Stewart went too wide into a corner, and Harvick stormed inside Stewart and went on to win.
''I think it probably surprised everybody else that we were able to drive back by and win the race,'' Harvick said of beating Stewart, who is also a friend.
The victory, Harvick's second this season and seventh of his six-year series career, put him into third place in the Nextel Cup standings. He moved up one place, pulling ahead of Jeff Burton, his teammate with Richard Childress Racing. Burton finished 11th.
Jimmie Johnson, who placed 17th in the race, remains the standings leader; Matt Kenseth, who finished 21st, is second.
Only four races remain until the 10-driver field for the 10-race Chase to the Nextel Cup championship is set, and Harvick appears likely to make the Chase for the first time. Childress's Chevrolets are now among the most powerful cars every weekend.
''We got the drivers, we've got the crew chiefs and we got the talent to make a serious run for this championship and making the Chase,'' Childress said.
Harvick's black and silver car was strong enough on the 2.45-mile, 11-turn road course at Watkins Glen to beat Stewart. Harvick's best finish at Watkins Glen before Sunday was fifth.
''He did an awesome job,'' Stewart said of Harvick. ''He hit his marks every lap. Our only shot to beat him was when we went past him the first time. Second place is O.K. with us.''
Harvick had a chance to win because of shrewd pit strategy by his crew chief, Todd Berrier, and because Kurt Busch, who had the fastest car in the field, received a critical penalty while leading the 90-lap race.
As Busch slowed for a scheduled pit stop on Lap 54, Joe Nemechek thumped the wall behind him, causing the sixth of a race-record 10 caution periods. A light at the entrance to pit road flicked to yellow, closing the pits. Busch entered anyway.
''It was really hard to swerve back out because we were scheduled to pit,'' Busch said. ''From what I knew, it was still green. I can't wait to see the replay.''
Nascar officials said it was clear that pit road was closed before Busch entered. He was dropped to the end of the lead lap -- 40th place. Busch's crew chief, Roy McCauley, kicked a tire after losing an argument with a Nascar official in the pits.
Busch was involved in two accidents after the penalty. He ended the race with black tape holding together his rear bumpers. The black tape on his right front bumper from the first crash was shredded in the second one.
''Maybe we can come back here next year and get a win,'' said Busch, who finished 19th and actually gained one spot, to 12th, in the standings.
Harvick made his final pit stop on Lap 53. Berrier decided before the race to stick with his scheduled pit stops. After the leaders in the field made pit stops during the caution period caused by Nemechek, Harvick was in third place at the restart.
''If he had the track position,'' Berrier said of Busch, ''there was no way we could beat him.''
Harvick took the lead for the first time on Lap 58. He had pushed in his front fenders while clashing with Jimmie Johnson early in the race, and gasoline sprayed from the back of his car after his final pit stop. Neither problem hampered Harvick.
He had a 1.4-second lead over Stewart with 14 laps left. The race might have been over had it stayed caution-free. But Casey Mears spun out and stopped on the track on Lap 79. Stewart passed Harvick on the inner loop almost immediately after the restart.
This time, Harvick passed him back. His average speed of 76.717 miles an hour was the slowest in this race since 1988, when Ricky Rudd won with an average speed of 74.096. Harvick was clearly delighted, nevertheless. So was Childress.
''When you can win a Nextel Cup race like you did today, you'd take a bath in Champagne, if that's what it took,'' said Childress, who makes wine in his spare time. ''It's kind of like our chardonnay this season.''
Harvick's wife, DeLana, had decided before the season to skip two races -- the road-course races at Watkins Glen and in Sonoma, Calif. Harvick was 24th in the race June 25 at Sonoma. DeLana Harvick might want to change her plans for next year.
''Kevin is a great road racer,'' Childress said. ''Great road racers know when to race and when not to. It's been so impressive to watch him run on these road courses.''

|Better to have someone clean this on TR as they go up. Clipped into the 3rd bolt direct, cleaned the 2nd bolt below, pulled up and released the 3rd bolt. Before releasing the 3rd bolt had my belayer pull up all the slack. Released from the 3rd and my tailbone came 12 inches from slamming into the boulder below, but still managed to fly into the tree behind this route...HARD! Luckily I anticipated it and went feet first into it while using my legs as suspension.

A new Pratt & Whitney noise-reduction kit will permit operators of McDonnell Douglas MD-80 twinjets to meet Chapter 4 International Civil Aviation Organization noise rules that are scheduled for introduction in six months' time. The heavyweight version of the equipment comprises an improved fan-inlet liner, a 16-lobe exhaust mixer, a muffler and a tabbed nozzle. A lower-cost, lightweight variant excludes one or two of these features since lighter aircraft are less noisy.
With P&W assistance, Aviation Fleet Solutions (AFS) has been conducting air and ground noise, operability and performance tests on two complete sets of equipment and three partial kits using a leased McDonnell Douglas MD-83. Some 125 hours of concept-proving and airworthiness tests were performed in more than 40 flights over a 12-month period. Certification flights took place in April and May and are being followed by further ground work ahead of formal approval. Once a supplemental type certificate is issued, production of component parts by AFS and P&W will be established to match demand.
P&W already has made the JT8D less "dirty." An emissions-reduction package (or E-Kit) introduced in 1999 reduced NOx by a claimed 25 percent, unburned hydrocarbons by 99 percent and smoke by 52 percent, while maintaining a "low" level of carbon monoxide.
This E-Kit can be combined with the new package, which is coupled with other enhancements such as improved fan-blade containment (achieved through fitting of a forged aluminum ring in the front fan liner).

PLANT CITY — Four years ago, Jennifer Faircloth and Jeff Lingerfelt had their first date at the Florida Strawberry Festival.
"It was just the day my family always went to the festival each year," said Lingerfelt, explaining why he chose to take Faircloth.
On Saturday, surrounded by their families, closest friends and hundreds of fairgoers, Faircloth, 19, and Lingerfelt, 22, became the first couple to be married at the festival.
"It's awesome" to be married at the site of their first date, said the bride.
The Lingerfelts tied the knot at the festival's pavilion, accompanied by a procession of wedding party members, sheriff's deputies and the Durant High School Junior Air Force ROTC honor guard.
The couple was selected from a number of contestants who asked to be married at this year's festival, said Sunny Smith, who coordinates special events.
The contest ran during September, Smith said. Entrants had to submit a photo with a 300- to 500-word essay explaining why they wanted to be married at the festival. The contest was limited to eastern Hillsborough County residents and it had to be a first marriage for both the bride and groom.
Angel Carter, chairperson of the entertainment tent came up with the idea last year.
"I passed it on to have the board look it over and they went for it. They thought it was the greatest thing," Smith said.
In addition to the service, the couple received a free reception, complete with strawberry wedding cake, free dresses for the bride and her bridesmaids, a free room for the wedding night at the Red Rose Inn and Suites in Plant City, as well as free festival admission for up to 50 guests. The festival's official photographer also shot a wedding album for the couple.
While the ceremony was open to all festivalgoers, only invited guests were allowed at the reception.
Jeff's mother, Lorie Lingerfelt, said the free wedding was a nice surprise.
"I didn't even know Jennifer wrote the (contest) letter," she said.
Jennifer's mother, Julie Faircloth, said she was happy about all the freebies that came with the wedding.
"It came out better than we could afford," Julie Faircloth said. "And she found herself a good man."
Smith declined to say how many couples entered the contest. The selection committee was impressed with the fact that the Lingerfelts met at the festival and are both graduates of Plant City High School.
They were also touched by the fact that they wanted to get married last year, but couldn't due to financial problems, Smith said.
Jeff Lingerfelt said he was grateful to the festival for making their day memorable.
"It is such a wonderful blessing," he said.

Pancreatic cancer survivor shares story
Pancreatic cancer claims so many lives because often it isn't detected until it's too late. Yet, it is the fourth most deadly form of cancer. Every year, 45,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. 40,000 of them will die.
One of the fortunate few alive five years after her diagnosis shares her story.
"I did not have one single symptom, not one," Lessley Hynson recalls learning she had pancreatic cancer.
She had gone to the doctor because of headaches. During a ct scan it was discovered she had an abnormality in her pancreas. "I knew it was a serious diagnosis, I didn't take it lightly," said Hynson. "It was significant that it was found that early. Because I was having no symptoms of anything being wrong." The tumor was removed and Hynson went through chemo-therapy. She's now five years, into remissionher story is a rarity. "By just having past the five year survival point, I am in the less than three percent in the world to be surviving," Hynson.
Dr. Sushanth Reddy, an oncologist at UAB's comprehensive cancer center says, "Because we have difficulty detecting it in the early stage, it's usually pretty far gone by the time we see it."Reddy says, many patients don't know where the pancreas is located.
"The pancreas is an organ located in the back of your abdomen, it starts in the right side and goes to the left side behind the stomach," Reddy explains.
Reddy, says unlike breast and colon cancer, there are no specific screenings for pancreatic cancer.
Like Hynson's discovery, most are found through ct scans."Most people here get cat scans for a variety of reasons," says Reddy. "We find incidental, or non-expected abnormalities within the pancreas and we're starting to study to understand which of these abnormalities will lead to pancreatic cancer."Reddy says, it's important to know the signs of the disease. However, once the signs show, the cancer has become advanced. "If it's located on the right side of the pancreas, the most common sign is jaundice, where the patient starts turning yellow, the bile ducts back up and the patient becomes yellow," says Reddy. "If the cancer is on the left side of the pancreas, it's usually non specific abdominal pain, because it's gotten so big it's starting to grow into something."
The disease has many unknowns. Dr. Reddy says common risk factors for pancreatic cancerinclude smoking, and family history. "We don't really know why yet, we don't know the genetic linkage," says Reddy.For Lessley Hynson, she knows each day is a blessing.
Now, she's sharing her story with others. "It's been a wonderful journey, absolutely wonderful journey," says Hynson. "This is the absolute truth, I would not take it back. I would not take it back."
Dr. Reddy, with the UAB comprehensive cancer center says, as with any cancer, the best ways to cure are through, surgery, chemo-therapy and radiation therapy. He says three are really needed for any type of cure. Reddy says right now at UAB, research is taking place to work toward prevention and trying to catch these cancers at an earlier state.
Lessley Hynson still undergoes clinical trials at UAB to help researchers learn more about the potential causes of the disease.
She says, while it may not help her, it could help someone in the future.

Got a splitting headache? get it checked now
By Aparna Chandra | ENS | Published: 04th September 2013 08:13 AM |
Last Updated: 04th September 2013 11:19 AM | A+A A- |
Those who suffer from head-splitting migraines often wonder if their condition affects their brain. The journal Neurology recently published a study by Danish researchers that concluded that there are structural differences in the brains of people suffering from migraines when compared to those who don't.
An analysis of 20 studies revealed tiny lesions in the brain's white matter but it also said that further research was required to understand the inferences.
Dr Fayyaz Ahmed, who chairs British Association for the Study of Headache, has been quoted in news reports elsewhere as saying, "It's been well-known for some time that migraineurs, particularly those with aura, have silent high signal intensity lesions in the brain more than the general population. However, the significance of this remains uncertain.
"It would be too premature to say that a migraineur's brain is at high risk of future structural or functional problems unless there are long-term longitudinal studies done."
Bangalore-based Dr Amit Agarwal, of MediHope, agrees with treating the research's findings with caution because it collides with the very definition of a migraine.
He says, "Migraine is a functional problem, not a structural one. An MRI of someone suffering from migraine nine out of 10 times will turn up negative. In fact, the diagnosis for migraine is one of elimination; that is, when all other causes of a persistent, recurrent and localised headache have been ruled out, it is suggested that the person is perhaps suffering from migraines. The unique thing about migraines is that it has no pathology."
This means that if any abnormality such as a tumour, degeneration, lesion or an ischemic change is detected in the brain, the headaches are decidedly not brought on by a migraine.
"For instance, if a CT scan shows blocked sinuses then you know the recurring headaches are due to sinus and not migraine," says Dr Agarwal.
Migraine requires specific medication that can only be prescribed by a doctor.
"The problem is that many self-diagnose their headache to be a migraine. Often times I have seen, that on inquiry, the reason of the headaches has turned out to be something else entirely from that presumed by the patient. It is necessary to consult a neurophysican if one suffers from constant headaches to know exactly what is causing them," says Dr Agarwal.
Since the cause of migraine is still a mystery, its cure still eludes us.
"But what have become popular are alternative therapies like music therapy, relaxation techniques, yoga, meditation and a change in lifestyles. Think of it as an allergy that can react to certain stimuli and this differs from person to person. Of course, stress is a common trigger," says Dr Agarwal.

More than 42,000 Minnesotans lost their small-group health coverage last year, while enrollment in state-sponsored public health plans surged by a nearly equal amount.
The state's HMOs attribute the shifts in health coverage to the bad economy and the rising cost of health care. Despite those factors, managed care organizations recorded an increase in income in 2009, according to two separate reports issued this week.
About 10 percent of small companies with 50 or fewer employees dumped their health coverage last year, the Minnesota Council of Health plans said.
"This is the biggest drop that we've seen in a number of years," said Julie Brunner, the council's executive director. Small employers have been shedding coverage for several years, but at much lower rates, she said. The recession clearly exacerbated the problem.
"A lot of it has to do with small employers having to make the choice of keeping people employed or keeping them employed and health care, which they couldn't afford," she said.
The Council's survey data from its eight nonprofit health plans does not reveal how all of those small business employees dealt with the loss of their insurance, but the number of uninsured Minnesotans did rise last year, and the number of people who qualified for government-supported health programs grew by 14 percent.
HMOs benefited from that huge growth in public programs, increasing their net income by $71 million, said independent HMO analyst Alan Baumgarten, based in St. Louis Park. He reviewed the publicly reported financial data submitted by Minnesota health plans last year and published his analysis this week.
Baumgarten said HMOs weathered the bad economy quite well.
"If I was an employer or if I was the state paying money for Medicaid, I would hope that some part of the profitability would be used to reduce the premium increase that I'm expecting for next year, or would be used for quality improvement, or would be used to improve payments to providers to the extent that they're being underpaid," Baumgarten said.
Julie Brunner doubts her members will lower their premiums.
"I don't think premiums are going to be lower because the premiums are a reflection of what the plans pay providers for health care and those rates continue to go up," she said.
Brunner said the average premium increase in Minnesota last year was between 5 to 8 percent. Meanwhile she says providers charged nearly 17 percent more for emergency services and 19 percent more for chemical dependency and mental health services.
Instead, Brunner predicts that HMOs will use their 2009 profits to rebuild their reserve funds. Right now the health plans have on average, just under 3 months of reserve funds - which she says is considered a minimum threshold.

Glass Half-Full? Half-Empty?
By JAMES K. FITZPATRICK
The old explanation of the difference between an optimist and a pessimist came to mind when I read S.M.'s letter in response to the May 29 edition of First Teachers. That was the column where we listed the colleges and universities that are complying with the Church's call to be faithful to Catholic theology and the Church's moral teachings. The column included portions of an article by Tom Hoopes in the National Catholic Register expressing his gratitude for the role that an "authentically Catholic college" played in his intellectual and moral development.
"I commend Tom Hoopes," writes S.M., "for recognizing the elements of a truly Catholic education. His willingness to 'pay even more in tuition for what I have received' attests to the fact that he understands the difference between being educated and being schooled." S.M. writes of his own experience with an authentically Catholic college: "Our children attended the University of Dallas and they were indeed educated. The list of 16 truly Catholic colleges (those abiding by the mandatum plus those employing the Oath of Fidelity) is complete to my knowledge."
But S.M. asks us to keep things in perspective. "The numbers involved reflect the magnitude of the challenge we face. My guess is that the combined enrollment of the 16 schools is between 50,000 and 75,000 students. This population is similar to that of the University of Minnesota, one secular university, if commuter students are included in their totals. A factor of 100X would be needed to leaven our society."
S.M. also commented on the question of tenure for high school teachers, discussed in the same edition of First Teachers. "With regard to tenure, waiting six years is a necessary improvement. However, unless a renewal with real dismissals is held every six years, little will be gained in the long run. As long as defined-benefit pensions are provided (still free?) by the public, underperforming teachers will always hang on and slide through. Since students learn as the teachers teach, shouldn't tenure also depend on the tested knowledge of the teacher? Most of our teachers are schooled, not educated (see above)."
How should we react to S.M.'s observations? Is he describing a glass half-full or half-empty? I have to straddle the fence on this question. To be sure, the number of students enrolled in colleges loyal to the mandatum is small in comparison to those enrolled in the more established Catholic colleges, the Notre Dames, Georgetowns, and Boston Colleges of this world, schools which largely ignore Rome's wishes in regard to the mandatum. But what does that mean?
Should we be uplifted by the success of the schools that abide by the mandatum and work even harder to expand their reach? Or, instead, concentrate our efforts on transforming the larger and better-known Catholic universities into authentically Catholic institutions? Which is the more realistic option? Is it a fool's errand to think that we can return schools such as Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Boston College to their Catholic roots? Are they too far gone? Should we be content to live for the foreseeable future with a small number of authentically Catholic colleges, hoping that they will provide an example for other Catholic institutions? Or is doing that a version of "going Amish," accepting orthodox Catholicism as something outside the mainstream of American life? Is that a surrender of sorts?
There are those who will argue that it is still possible for Catholic students to receive an education that will ground them solidly in their faith at places such as Notre Dame; that, for all the problems at these larger Catholic colleges, students are still able to find solidly Catholic professors of theology and philosophy on their faculties, daily Mass and the sacraments, along with the rich architectural and artistic reminders — the statues, crucifixes, and stained-glass windows — of the heritage of the Christian West.
Not an easy decision. We invite our readers to weigh in.
With that in mind, we would like to call our readers' attention to the new edition of the Cardinal Newman Society's Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College. The Newman Society describes the 2014 guide as one that "will recommend Catholic colleges that are faithful to Catholic identity inside and out: in the chapel, in the classroom, and in the dorm. This unique guide helps Catholic students open the door to a lifetime of faith-inspired success."
The Newman Society guide does not limit itself to the colleges that were listed in First Teachers on May 29. The guide provides a detailed description of the course of study and campus life at the schools it recommends. The guide costs $10 (plus $5 shipping and handling) and can be ordered at the Newman Society's website: cardinalnewmansociety.org.
On another topic: the wave of commencement speakers canceled this year in the face of leftwing student protests. It is good to see that is no longer just conservatives who are expressing outrage over the phenomenon. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg took the occasion of his speech at this year's graduation ceremonies at Harvard to throw a spotlight on the hypocrisy taking place.
You don't have to agree with Bloomberg's understanding of the career of Joseph McCarthy to applaud him for his willingness to take on the academic leftists on their home ground:
"This spring, it has been disturbing to see a number of college commencement speakers withdraw — or have their invitations rescinded — after protests from students and — to me, shockingly — from senior faculty and administrators who should know better. There is an idea floating around college campuses — including here at Harvard — that scholars should be funded only if their work conforms to a particular view of justice. There's a word for that idea: censorship. And it is just a modern-day form of McCarthyism."
Bloomberg added, "In the 2012 presidential race, according to Federal Election Commission data, 96 percent of all campaign contributions from Ivy League faculty and employees went to Barack Obama. Ninety-six percent. There was more disagreement among the old Soviet Politburo than there is among Ivy League donors."
I doubt many readers of this column are fans of Bloomberg, But you have to give credit where credit is due. Bloomberg said what had to be said to an audience that would not have listened if a conservative were the making the case. It was a classic case of bearding the lion in his den.

I know some of these team have seeding to think about, but if they were thinking like the Texans, when you're in you're in, right? James Casey just said on the radio that the team learned Saturday that the Texans would be resting their starters. I didn't even pay for a ticket, but if I had paid to see the Texans play I would be pissed with what they put on the field. But I have paid, in many, many ways Jake was getting killed out there behind a kindergarten O-Line. Plus, a loss is a loss. There is no way to rationalize a loss. How can anyone be cool with a friggin' loss? All this "play to win" crap that Kubes has been giving us is horseshit. Nothing more! He lied. Moreover, this loss only puts us 1 win over what they did in 2009. That's only 1 game up as the Texans went on a 3 game skid. That's not very much of a turnaround - because if we were not in such a **** division, 10-6 would probably have not have gotten us in. Sure, the Texans could go all the way and win the Super Bowl...but if they don't - and especially if they keel over in the first playoff game, I want Kubes head on a pike at uncle Bob's next charity golf function.

View Full Version :
I know you Pacer fans are nuts about Reggie but...
Obviously you aren't a Laker fan because you wouldn't be able to use the words Lakers and morals in the same sentence.
Just like every other player, he had a bad game. The previous game he was the leading scorer. The game before that, he hit the game winner. You must not be watching the same series.
I know he's not near as good as he used to be, but he is more than serviceable.
He is hurting the team if he isnt shooting except in the fourth quarter. Artest isnt shooting well and Oneal finally has come around. Who else is supposed to score besides Oneal. It is supposed to be the SHOOTING GUARD. Im not going to just put it on Reggie, everyone needs to step up the scoring. Right now i do believe Reggie his an hindurance, Not unless he is playing in Conseco. Reggie take your game on the road bud.
I would not be suprised if Reggie quietly retired this summer.
Did games #1 and #2 not take place. Didn't Reggie hit the game winner in the first game, and didn't Reggie play very well in game #2.
Roy Munson
Did games #1 and #2 not take place. Didn't Reggie hit the game winner in the first game, and didn't Reggie play very well in game #2.
You could look at game one and focus on the one and only field goal he made during the game, or you could focus on the fact that he played 32 minutes and scored 6 points on 1-7 field goal shooting.
You could look at game two and say that he made 21 points, or you could focus on the fact that he made 5 of 13 field goals, and Rip Hamilton scored 23 points. You could also focus on the fact that he BLEW a breakway opportunity to tie the game in the final minute by taking it extremely soft to the rim.
I don't see how anyone could contend that he made a valuable contribution in game 3.
In total he has made 7 of 24 field goal attempts in this series. He is not putting pressure on the defense. He is not spreading the defense. His slow game plays right into Detroit's hands. Rip Hamilton is doing whatever he wants to do. Reggie should be playing no more than 24 minutes a game. He should not be in the game for long stretches. Have him check in, fire up a couple threes, and go sit down for a while.
I bet Larry Brown is Running around the Pistons Arena yelling " Brillant" and I can see that Pistons Fans are loving it too ;)
It almost seems silly to respond to this, but I'll go ahead.
This notion that a player whose last shot is the game winner didn't have a good game is ludicrous. Pacers won the game. Reggie made the game winner. Without him they are down 0-3. End of story. Who cares if the Pacers could have blown them out had he been making a bunch of shots. Without the last one, they most likely lose.
And keeping the Pacers alive in game two and leading the team in scoring (a big factor for those who don't understand concepts like spreading the defense which if you watch the game they always close out on Reggie on the three point line meaning that the defense is spread which isn't the case with any other player on the floor) makes that a good game. Reggie makes four free throws in a row, something else nobody on this team can do in the 4th quarter, to give them a chance, and then putting them in a position to tie at the end. Not a surprise that Reggie put himself in a position to make the play. Half of the players in the NBA would have made the same mistake, and a few would have blundered the dunk or layup, and even if he went for the stuff there's a chance that Prince blocks it anyway. Reggie put the Pacers in a position to win that game. No one else did. Getting your **** blocked shouldn't make you a scapegoat especially when there were 19 blocks in the game total. Without Reggie, we aren't even in game 2.
I wouldn't even say he hurt us in game 3, though he does virtually nothing for the Pacers when he doesn't shoot, and virtually nothing when the Pacers don't run a triple screen until one minute left to give him an open look. They guy is clearly still the best shooter on the team, look at the shooting percentages for others who should be higher because the majority of their shots are closer to the rim. The reason he isn't as effective is because the Pacers wait until he's rusty to call plays for himself expecting him to be 100% in the clutch and make no effort to get him going early. I fault him for not shooting more in game 3, but I fault the coaching and some of the players for making virtually no effort to get him involved. The triple screen that they run one time gives him a wide open look. Give him more of those and this is a different playoff series.
For all the Pacer fans who want Reggie gone, they will get their wish soon enough and this franchise will suffer as a result. But if he were already gone, the Pacers would probably be down 0-3. One blocked shot isn't killing a team. Making a game winner to put the team up 3, not 2, but 3, and scoring 4 straight points in the final minute to bring the team back are one of the primary reasons why the Pacers are still in this series.
Why not point fingers at the guy who bobbles the ball when he gets it in the lane in the last minute of the game who is supposed to be the go to guy, or the one who won't pass and can't shoot that great anyway but still chugs a three with someone in his face trying to always be the hero, or at all of the other paltry layups that bigger and stronger players have taken that were swatted away, or at the coach who doesn't know how to get the most out of Reggie or the entire team when the defensive is far better and the pressure goes way up. Or at whomever else was taking clutch shots and missing in all these close playoff games that the Pacers have lost.
Though I will agree, I think using Reggie as a decoy is just plain stupid. It's like playing 4 on 4 sometimes with two players standing in the corner. The guy's a shooter, and one of the greatest in NBA history who can still shoot better than most players in the league. Run triple screens. Get him shots. Let him shoot. And have a little more respect for the best player this franchise has ever seen. Not just because of what he's done, but because of what he continues to do. I'll say it again. He won game 1. He kept us alive in game 2. We're down 0-3 without Reggie.
I believe that Miller was number one or number 2 for the year as it related to Plus Minus stats for the Pacers this year. That means that overall we play better with him in the game. Sure he isn't the same guy he used to be, but he is still valuable.
Every Championship team has guys that don't miss win the game is on the line. They aren't always the goto guys either. Robert Horry, Derek Fisher, Brad Fox... all those guys... I hate 'em! You have to have clutch guys in the game.
How about Free throws? If you have a defensive technical with 2 minutes left in the game and need to put somebody at the line, how comfortable are you with the ball in Reggie's hands? I'm extremely comfortable, and there isn't a close second place person I'd pick on our team.
The sad thing is that I don't think many people realize how much Reggie has deferred the ball this year. He can still score and shows us in clips. He's a bit of a streaky shoote, so if he doesn't have many shots (ie 7) then he will either look great or terrible. You also have to remember that he naturally shoots a naturally lower overall percentage b/c he shoots so many threes. 30% 3 pt shooting is more efficient than 40% 2 pt shooting.
He's lost a step, he's more of a defensive liability on defense than he once was, and he is a pretty old dude to be playing. However, he contributes night in and night out and I will be a sad man when he hangs 'em up.
The most popular person on a football team is the backup quarterback, and the same concept is true in basketball.
I forgot how many chamionships has Reggie Miller Brought the Pacers ? All we have is great memories of what coulda , should been..where has Reggie Miller been when this Pacers Team needed him Most ?
I could argue back and forth all day , could , shoulda woulda , what if we don't have reggie..etc. But what If we Have a productive player ( insert name of favorite SG) We could easily be up 3-0
It seems like Everyone is Still waiting for Reggie to save us and I hate to say it , but if we win this series it will not because of Reggie Miller , we have alot of talent on our bench and were sitting here pissing it all away on one more Chance for a Miller moment and there is no promise we will have the same oppritunties next year that we had this year.
Sorry if some disagree but this is 30 years of frustration and heartbreak and I dunno about anyone else but I am tired of finishing 2nd best year after year.
The Pacers are a better team with Reggie on the floor.
Roy Munson
The Pacers are a better team with Reggie on the floor.
Not always. Sometimes, maybe, but not always. And I would definitely say they are not a better team when he plays 35 minutes. This past season the Pacers have been most effective when Reggie plays 23-28 minutes.
Next year, if he plays, I think his most effective role will be as a 15-20 minute player.
I think you're living in the past, or you are not ready to accept the inevitable.
The Pacers are a better team with Reggie on the floor.Buck, Reggie has been my favorite Pacer for 15 years. I've said exactly what your are saying all year long. Reggie's mere presencse stretches the defense.
But to say that the Pacers are better with Reggie on the floor simply isn't true any longer. I believe it would be more accurate to state that the Pacers are a better team with a shooting guard in the lineup who is shooting and making perimeter shots.
Let's face it. If we were forced to choose only one thing right now in the series with Detroit that might possibly have us up 3-0 rather than down 2-1 it would be having a player at shooting guard who is shooting and making a decent percentage of his perimeter shots.
In an earlier thread that I posted in today, I stated that this team needs a big man. And it does. But right now if I had to choose either a more proficient shooting guard or a bigger, better center in our series with Detroit, I think I'd go with the SG.
Having someone, even Artest, hit some outside shots would have made all the difference in the world in our ability to work the paint. Right now, because we have no one hitting from the perimeter, we are allowing Detroit to constantly trap the ball and wreak general havoc on our post players. They aren't forced to play most of our perimeter players honestly, They only have to rush the perimeter player shooting the ball or receiving the pass.
So no, we are not better with Reggie in the lineup, unless he is hitting the outside shot. If he's not hitting his shots, then I'd just as soon have Freddie on the floor at this time. He is more capable of slashing to the basket when his defender recovers to him. Freddie is also a better all-around defender than Reggie. So right now, if Reggie's not hitting, I'd go to Freddie.
Maybe some people would rather have a player who makes 6-7 and misses the game winning shot, but I would rather have one who goes 1-7 and makes the winning shot.
If Reggie is the only one who can stretch the defense, and he obviously does if you watch the game, I don't know how high up it is on Brown's list but they are closing out on Reggie every second of the game, then bringing in a player like Jones is just going to cramp things further for players like Oneal. Bender and Croshere are the only other players that even post a consistent three point threat, and for some strange reason, Bender keeps seeing less and less playing time.
And everybody whining about the Pacers being so much better without Reggie will get their wish in a couple of years. If these young guys are so much better, then they should at least be able to get the Pacers into the Eastern Conference Finals 4-5 times, into the NBA finals at least more than once, and win it all for certain. Why complain now when the future is so rich with opportunity? I just hope they don't end up like the Knicks who were so certain for greatness after getting an aging Ewing out of the way and went on to disappear from the playoff picture.
Where's Fire the Coach? I think his answer to this is probably closest to the bone.
now the question is.... how quickly will you guys forget this game by Reggie?
6 for 7 - 3 for 4 on threes - 15 points.
this is also big because it will make the pistons come out and be all over reggie the rest of the series - spreading the floor for everyone else.
:laugh: great timing.

all this means is game 5 reggie is a ghost , he wasn't the sole reason we won and there are others I would credit before Reggie.
REG :scream: GIE !!!!!
i'm betting reggie makes you people eat your words again tonight.
i really get disgusted by you "fans" - where's your faith? .
You don't understand. Reggie needs the Pacers Digest crowd starting to question his game. He then goes off and has a great game. It's all about helping him out!
Personally, I don't think he can string together two in a row. No way. Who's with me? ;)
Guy sucks after a big game!!!!!!
I am glad he scored 15 it was nice , but you can Easily credit this win to JO , Artest and Croshere also.
Calling a Player out to perform doesn't mean you lack faith or aren't a Pacer fan , there are times when a Player needs a good chewing to perform.
i'm betting reggie makes you people eat your words again tonight.

Wine Bottle Design Lets You And Three Friends Share A Glass
Stacked Wines package their product in four stemless containers made of high-quality plastic.
California-based company Stacked Wines offers a change from the traditional wine bottle, with four individually-sealed containers stacked on top of each other. Founded by Matt Zimmer, Doug Allan and Jodi Wynn (classmates from UC Irvine's business school) the company's unique design is marketed as the perfect wine solution for a picnic, hike, festival, camping trip or boat ride. Consumers are free from the hassle of a bottle, corkscrew or stemware, and they could be sold at venues that don't permit glass.
Stacked Wines' "Vinoware" container is meant to resemble the look and feel of stemless wine glasses. It is made of high-quality recyclable plastic, which is shatterproof, lightweight, and protects wine from oxidation and spoilage. The container comes stacked in a four-pack and each 187ml glass can snap apart and fit back together.
Stacked Wines currently offers a signature Merlot and Chardonnay, which provide the same amount of wine as a traditional bottle (750ml). A Pinot Grigio is being released before the summer, followed by a Cabernet Sauvignon by the fall. They are all priced at $14.99 per four-pack stack. Stacked Wines is available to buy online and plans to be in stores throughout California later this year before going nationwide.

California Genealogy and History Archives
Sacramento County
migration of Frederick B. Fancher of Sacramento from the east towards
the west is an interesting one. One peculiarity of this big trek is that
at every point of the trail there as something eventful. He made his
start in Orleans county, N.Y., his birthplace, in 1852, and his next
place of appearance is the state of Michigan, with the date along in
1865. There he was educated, passing through the State Normal School at
Ypsilanti. He was in Chicago in 1871, just before the big fire, and was
engaged in fire underwriting. He was kept exceedingly busy for several
years, as one in this occupation in that locality would likely be. In
1881 he was in North Dakota, where he followed farming. He not only
handled his own farm but undertook the management of several thousand
acres .of land for eastern parties. He organized and was made the
president of a strong local insurance company, and continued in that
office for six years. During the same period he was president of the
board of trustees of the North Dakota Hospital for the Insane. In 1889
Mr. Fancher was elected a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, was
chosen president of that body when it met and much credit is due its
presiding officer for the excellent constitution it gave North Dakota.
In 1894 he was nominated by the Republican State Convention for the
office of Commissioner of Insurance, and was elected and on the
expiration of his term he was re-elected. But the crowning honor of Mr.
Fancher 's Dakota political life came when the State Republican
Convention of that state iu 1898 unanimously nominated him for governor.
He threw himself into the campaign with his customary fervor and was
elected to that high office with a large majority. His administration
was clean and the public interests were conserved during bis official
term. He was renominated for the office, and under such favorable
auspices that he would have been re-elected, if his health had not
broken down. Chief Executive of one of the Dakotas is not an easy job
and Governor Fancher was not physically equal to it. He declined to
accept the renomination, selected his successor, and retired from public
life, after twenty years of hard work in the upbuilding of the territory
and state.
Fancher 's next and last appearance was in Sacramento, where he is
secretary and treasurer of the American Cash Store. This was several
years ago and since that time he has persisted in his determination to
remain out of politics. The Lincoln-Roosevelt organization desired him
to make the run for mayor of Sacramento, but Mr. Fancher declined, and
his private business fully occupies his time and mind. The ex-governor
of North Dakota has other qualities besides those mentioned. He is
considered the premier toastmaster of the Capital, a fluent after-dinner
speaker, and is hailed where good-fellowship reigns. His response to the
toast "The Ladies," at the Commandery some years ago, is still
Mr. Fancher married, January 1, 1909, Miss Clemma Buck of Minneapolis, Minn. His Masonic affiliations are advanced and exceedingly fraternal. He has taken the thirty-second degree, is Past Eminent Commander of Wihaha Commandery, K. T., of James- town, N. D., and is a member of Bhie Lodge, Royal Arch and Consistory of Scottish Rite.

Decorating a toddlers' room doesn't mean everything should be brand new but rather can be acquired from thrift stores or in any other garage sales. According to Sigmund Freud (Austrian neurologist &Psychoanalyst) on early child development, the environment in which a toddler in brought up in dictates a lot in character and personality development.
Thus, a fancy environment will motivate your child and always keep her/him jovial, lively all through.
However, it is important to learn very quickly on your baby's character so as to help and guide you in decorating her/his nursery at a cost. This will save you a great deal, therefore chose a design/ theme that you can make minor changes as the baby grows up instead of demolishing or redoing the whole apartment. The following are tips on how to spruce up your toddler's nursery on a budget;

In the name of the skinny, testicular threatening jeans, here's a sentence I never thought I'd say - I'm mightily impressed with Russell Brand.
The actor resided in a cesspit at the bottom of my celebrity barrel, until his divorce papers were filed this week and he signed away the rights to a hefty portion of pop singer Katy Perry's £30million fortune.
Knock me down with a cherry chapstick. Under that dishevelled, smug, deeply irritating facade, there might be a bit of class after all.
Interesting definition of the word "relationship" from MC Harvey, who recently claimed to have had a "relationship" with Cheryl Cole.
After her denials, he has admitted that the "relationship" consisted of a few emails and some texts.
For the sake of journalistic integrity, I'd like to confess that on that basis I'm engaged to the VAT man, married to the bloke who delivers our shopping and having a bit on the side with three Nigerian conmen.
Aw, it warms the cockles when famous names give fellow celebs the benefit of their guidance.

Infectious Diseases
When you get chlamydia can it come back?
There are several forms of chlamydia infection including eye, pneumonia and genital tract infection. Thus, it is unclear which of the forms are in question because each of these is somewhat different. The genital tract infection is known to recur and thus one can be infected again. This statement is true also for the eye form of chlamydia disease. For the pneumonia, it is unclear.

This is my 1st time on this forum...this is a rifle that belonged to my father and when he passed away my sisters in charge of his estate gave me the rifle, all i'm sure about it is that its an italian carcano rifle. I've had it 20 yrs and think its time to find out what model it is.It fires 6.5mm ammo. The recievers stamped Roma, OR-U, 6101, F.P and the letters MS that are circled. A friend of mine bought a box of Norma 6.5mm carcano ammo and test fired it...he said he made some good practice shots with it. I'm adding some pics and i hope someone here can tell me what model it is. I've done some searching and can't find any carcano rifle models stamped Roma. Thanks for reading my post.

It's a mystery to some readers as to which law enforcement organizations respond to accidents in certain parts of the county. No doubt the boundaries of the two dozen municipalities in Pinellas County are not always as clear as we would like. We have corridors that start in one part of the county as city roads then change to state roads (and sometimes back again to city roads) depending on the cross streets and municipality. It's a crazy quilt of accountability and jurisdiction both from a road and equipment maintenance perspective to law enforcement.
Reader Bill Balmer of Seminole wrote: "Earlier this year on Indian Rocks Road, a car swerved into my lane. I barely avoided a head-on collision but clipped a roadside sign that took off my right side mirror and scratched up and dented the right side of my vehicle. I wanted to get an official police report to use when filing my insurance report. It turned out that I was about 75 feet outside the limits of Largo in unincorporated Pinellas County. The Largo Police Department would not respond because it was outside their jurisdiction. I expected that the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office would respond as there is a Sheriff's Office in Belleair Bluffs less than 2 miles away. Wrong! I had to wait for about an hour for a Florida Highway Patrol car to show up. My question is, why doesn't the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office cover a situation like I have described?"
The Doc shared Balmer's question with Pinellas County Sheriff Jim Coats, who said that the Florida Highway Patrol is responsible for responding to calls about vehicle accidents in unincorporated areas of the county. Of the 24 municipalities in Pinellas, the Sheriff's Office responds to calls in 12, in addition to calls from unincorporated areas of the county. And while the FHP is responsible for responding to crashes in the unincorporated areas, if a sheriff's deputy happens on the scene, the deputy will provide assistance. And in the event of serious crashes, deputies will always stop and render aid and remain on the scene until the FHP arrives.
"If we roll up on a crash in unincorporated areas, we will help out — if we arrive at a crash in Largo, for example, we will manage traffic and assist FHP with whatever they need. We also check in with the FHP and ask them what their approximate response time will be and if it looks like there's going to be a delay of over an hour, oftentimes we will go ahead and work the crash," Coats said.
Last year, in lieu of response from the FHP, the Sheriff's Office responded to 936 crashes in unincorporated Pinellas County, according to their data. In addition, they assisted the FHP in responding to 1,252 other crashes in 2010.
