Penny reveals to Amy and Bernadette that she's not particularly thrilled with her relationship with Leonard. Though she's not unhappy, she doesn't feel like this is really love. "I've been in love before, but it felt different. But maybe this is a new, better, boring kind of love." Amy shares this information with Sheldon, who is now put in the awkward position of having to deal with keeping a secret, something that he's notoriously bad at. He tries to cleverly intervene, both to prepare Leonard for potential heartbreak and to prevent Penny from ending their relationship.
Meanwhile, Howard runs into trouble getting along with his fellow astronauts.
This Episode's Science
Notable Quotes
Amy: When I get married I'm going to register at the UCLA Cadaver Lab.
Penny: Ew, why?
Amy: 'Cause I've always wanted a whole human skeleton and they are really spendy.
Bernadette: So, you actually see you and Sheldon getting married someday?
Amy: Not just someday. In exactly four years. But don't tell Sheldon. He's still a flight risk.
Amy: Penny said she's not sure she wants to be Leonard's girlfriend anymore.
Sheldon: Wrong. She just took a sip from his Diet Dr. Pepper.
Amy: So?
Sheldon: So, if she wants to end her pair-bond with Leonard, why on earth would she guzzle a witches' brew of his soda and spit?
Amy: It's complicated.
Sheldon: String theory is complicated. That's just yucky. Don't get any ideas. All right, for the sake of argument, let's say that's true. Why doesn't Penny just end the relationship?
Amy: She's not sure how she feels.
Sheldon: How can she not be sure how she feels? You know, when I have a feeling, I know it. Trains? Love them. Swordfish? I love them, too. They're fish with a sword for a nose.
Amy: Regardless, don't say anything to Leonard.
Sheldon: Now you're asking me to keep a secret from my best friend, colleague, and roommate?
Amy: Yes, please, Penny will kill me.
Sheldon: Uh, fine. FYI, secret-keeping? Hate it. Hand-holding? Not a fan. Hammerhead shark? I love that thing. Yeah, it's another fish with a tool on its head.
Penny: Okay, what did Amy tell you?
Sheldon: Oh, very well. I can't keep up this clever charade any longer. She told me that you were thinking of ending it with Leonard.
Penny: Okay, you listen to me. I think it's really sweet you're trying to protect your friend, but this is none of your business. Got it?
Sheldon: Excuse me. This is not about protecting my friend. I'm a big fan of homeostasis. Do you know what that is?
Penny: Of course not.
Sheldon: Homeostasis refers to a system's ability to regulate its internal environment and maintain a constant condition of properties like temperature or pH.
Penny: Worst bedtime story ever.
Sheldon: My point is I don't like when things change. So, regardless of your feelings, I would like you to continue dating Leonard. And also, while we're on the subject, you recently changed your shampoo. I'm not comfortable with the new scent. Please stop this madness and go back to green apple.

By David Hughes
TERRE HAUTE — After much thought, I've decided to skip the "Super Bowl odds" column this year and perhaps forever.
C'mon, wipe that tear from your eye. You'll survive the weekend without knowing the probability of O.J. Simpson appearing as NBC's halftime guest.
To be honest, I really didn't want to stop writing it. But I'm not in the mood for a fun column today.
If the National Football League reinstates convicted dog killer Michael Vick for the 2009 season –- Internet rumors have him possibly going to San Francisco or Chicago — I can no longer support the league that's provided me with so many fond memories since 1967.
For example, who in Indiana can forget the Indianapolis Colts' Super Bowl run two years ago? I won't.
The New York Giants knocking off the "unbeatable" New England Patriots in last year's Super Bowl was pretty darn fun to watch.
I'm even rooting for Edgerrin James, Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and the rest of the Arizona Cardinals to whip the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
But after that, well, let's see if the NFL does the right thing and permanently bans Vick after he's released from federal custody, supposedly in July.
If it allows Vick to play in 2009, here is how I plan to respond:
1. I will no longer spend money on fantasy football (one of my favorite hobbies).
2. I will not willingly watch one second of an NFL game or an NFL highlight show. That includes my favorite team, the Colts, even if it's not Indy that signs him. That also includes the Super Bowl, even if Dogkiller's team isn't in it.
3. Anytime I'm watching SportsCenter or any other television sports show, I will immediately change the channel whenever NFL news of any kind appears. If I'm seated in a restaurant with friends while an NFL show comes on TV, I will not leave, because I wouldn't want to disrespect my friends. But I will pay as little attention to the show as humanly possible (except to make mental notes of the commercial sponsors so I'll know which products I should avoid buying).
4. I will no longer read NFL-related message boards on the Internet.
5. I will encourage as many others as possible, even if some don't take me seriously, to follow steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 with me.
6. If friends ask for my thoughts on some exciting game that took place the previous Sunday or Monday, I'll probably say, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I don't watch the NFL anymore."
7. I will only write about NFL-related activities (such as Colts camp at Rose-Hulman this summer) if assigned to do so by this newspaper. Even at that, I will do so reluctantly.
I realize the NFL won't give a rat's behind if David Hughes in Terre Haute, Indiana, boycotts its product. But maybe if several hundred thousand pet owners take a stand, the league might resist the urge to ruin its reputation.
Sure, a prolonged boycott would be difficult for me to do. I really enjoy watching the NFL — so much that I've purchased most of the expensive DirecTV Sunday packages for my home over the last three years –- but my love for animals exceeds my love for the NFL. There's no doubt that if I set my mind to it, this boycott will last as long as I live.
Come November, if sports fans are talking about the undefeated Colts or the undefeated Whoevers, all I need as a reminder for the boycott is thinking about what Vick did to his own pets.
I can't comprehend what a poor excuse of a human being Vick must be if he could torture and kill those poor animals without showing the slightest hint of real remorse.
Roger Goodell, please do us all a favor: Don't ever let this piece of garbage back in your great league.
If anyone would like to sign an Internet petition urging commissioner Goodell to ban Vick from the NFL permanently, go to http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-NFL-from-reinstating-MichaelVick?page=7.
When I last checked, it had more than 20,400 signatures. Not enough to affect the NFL yet, but hopefully it's a good start.
Think about it. The Atlanta Falcons did just fine without Vick in 2008 and, with the more talented and far more respectable Matt Ryan at quarterback, there's no reason to think they won't continue to improve in 2009.
Like the Falcons, the NFL is better off without Vick.
OK, I hear some of you saying: "But he will have paid his debt to society. He deserves a second chance to work. Blah, blah, blah."
Yes, Vick deserves a chance to work. Let him get behind a fast-food counter asking customers if they want fries with their cheeseburger in Atlanta, although McDonald's or Burger King surely can find more dignified employees than this thug at one of the local high schools.
If Vick "has a right" to play in the NFL again, I have a right to stop caring about the NFL.
• • •
• Practice makes perfect — Back on Jan. 14, a video of 13-year-old Ryan Francis of Charlotte, N.C., making an incredible outdoor basketball shot appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
What made the shot so incredible was that Francis threw the ball onto a neighbor's garage roof, where it bounced down to the driveway, then it bounced up and off the backboard and dropped through the net.
In case you're wondering why you should care, the teenager is the son of Mark Francis, one of my classmates at Terre Haute South High School and Indiana State University back in the Stone Ages.
The proud father said Ryan needed about 100 tries before getting the shot right.

Charles Krauthammer: The Iranian 'moderate'
Three decades later, the mirage reappears in the form of Hassan Rouhani. Strange resume for a moderate: 35 years of unswervingly loyal service to the Islamic Republic as a close aide to Ayatollahs Khomeini and Khamenei. Moreover, Rouhani was one of only six presidential candidates, another 678 having been disqualified by the regime as ideologically unsound. That puts him in the 99th centile for fealty.
Well, what leader would not want relief from Western sanctions that have sunk Iran's economy, devalued its currency and caused widespread hardship? The test of moderation is not what you want but what you're willing to give. After all, sanctions were not slapped on Iran for amusement. It was to enforce multiple Security Council resolutions demanding a halt to uranium enrichment.
It takes about 250 kilograms of 20 percent enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported in August that Iran already has 186 kilograms.
Rouhani is the man to do exactly that. As Iran's chief nuclear negotiator between 2003 and 2005, he boasted in a 2004 speech to the Supreme Cultural Revolution Council, "While we were talking with the Europeans in Tehran, we were installing equipment in parts of the [uranium conversion] facility in Isfahan . In fact, by creating a calm environment, we were able to complete the work in Isfahan."
And when the President of the world's sole superpower asks for a photo-op handshake with the president of a regime that, in President Obama's own words, kills and kidnaps and terrorizes Americans, the killer-kidnapper does not even deign to accept the homage. Rouhani rebuffed him.
But at least we have to talk, say the enthusiasts. As if we haven't been talking. For a decade. Strung along in negotiations of every manner - the EU3, the P5+1, then the final, very final, last-chance 2012 negotiations held in Istanbul, Baghdad and Moscow at which the Iranians refused to even consider the nuclear issue, declaring the dossier closed. Plus two more useless rounds this year.
Demand one simple proof of good faith: Honor the U.N. resolutions. Suspend uranium enrichment and we will talk.
And about the Khamenei agent who charms but declares enrichment an inalienable right, who smiles but refuses to shake the President's hand. When asked by NBC News whether the Holocaust was a myth, Rouhani replied: "I'm not a historian. I'm a politician."
And, by the way, do you know who was one of the three Iranian "moderates" the cake-bearing McFarlane dealt with at that fateful arms-for-hostage meeting in Tehran 27 years ago? Hassan Rouhani.

- Is it a website for a well known non-profit or non-governmental organization (NGO)? Like government websites, well known non-profits and NGOs generally have reliable websites. If the site's domain name ends in .org, you can probably trust the information you find.
- Is contact information provided? Reputable organizations will provide a phone number or email address so that you can contact them for more information. If contact information is vague or is not included, be wary of the resources on that site.
- Does the website's content show an obvious bias or agenda? Information contained on websites designed to influence opinion or cater to a specific group, political party, or movement, may or may not be reliable. For these types of websites, it is advisable to further research your topic to verify the accuracy and veracity of the information you've found.
- Is the information current? Can you tell when the information was last updated? A good website will make this obvious. If you can't tell, it's better to look elsewhere.

Religion is an important component of the history of civilizations. Minneha Core Knowledge Magnet students cover the five major religions of the world â Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam â as part of their Core Knowledge magnet curriculum. The students study civilizations throughout time, throughout the world, and cover religion with a focus on the history and geography in the development of civilizations. The bulletin board that originally caused the concern does represent the 5 Pillars of Islam â in a historical context of their studies. There is also a painting of the Last Supper hanging in the school as part of the study of art and the Renaissance period. The students at Minneha have received these lessons for years as part of their Core Knowledge curriculum. A photo taken of a bulletin board without context is misleading, and some have taken it out of context without having all the information. Because of the misunderstanding that has been promoted by that one photograph, the bulletin board has been taken down until the unit is taught later this fall. Minneha is a Core Knowledge magnet school. As a school of choice, more than 60 percent of Minneha's students apply for admission to the school in order to receive the Core Knowledge education that is the foundation of the school. As part of the Core Knowledge curriculum, which is overseen by a national foundation devoted to Core Knowledge education, children are introduced in the early grades to major world religions, beginning with a focus on geography and major symbols and figures. In the fourth grade the focus is on history, geography and the development of civilization. The purpose is not to explore the matters of theology, but to understand the place of religion and religious ideas in history. The Core Knowledge goal is to familiarize, not proselytize; to be descriptive, not prescriptive.

Patch caught up with 's new Principal Lisa Leitholf during the busy week before school starts back.
This year will be a fresh start for the elementary school in many ways, after the departure of eight educators at the end of the school year. and Assistant Principal Diane Lorton retired in June. Four teachers also retired, and two others transferred to other schools, according to the school's June newsletter.
Leitholf was named head of CSCE in July, and the school's new assistant principal is .
Patch: What are some of the challenges of being a new principal?
Lisa Leitholf: The hardest part is that I don't know the students yet. I'm accustomed to knowing the students by name, so learning 650-700 new names and faces and families can be overwhelming, but that's a fun part of the job. Everyone has been very welcoming, the PTO and staff have been wonderful and receptive. So it's been an easy transition.
Patch: Do you have any goals in the first few weeks of school?
Leitholf: My goals for the first few weeks are getting to know as many students and families as I can, and to establish relationships with the students and the staff. I need to learn from them—that's the most important thing.
Patch: What do you think of the area of Cape St. Claire?
Leitholf: I'm very excited to be coming to Cape St. Claire. It's a great area with a great reputation, not only for the academic achievement of the students, but the community is very involved and supportive. I've already met a lot of great people here and can't wait to meet more.
Patch: What are these final days before school starts like?
Leitholf: It's a very busy time of year to get things prepared for the school year. Having an experienced staff that have been here makes that first week of school easier for teachers. They know the routines and the kids, so it is busy, but I wouldn't call it frantic or hectic.
Patch: Several educators at CSCE retired at the end of the school year. How is the school handling that?
Leitholf: Certainly those teachers will be missed. Many of them had a longstanding career here at CSCE. We have hired new staff to take over those roles, and they are fitting in nicely. There were many who applied for the position, so we got to choose from a range of very qualified people.
School starts at Cape St. Claire Elementary School and all other elementary schools in Broadneck on Monday, with the exception of Broadneck Elementary, which is delayed for a day due to construction.

The teenager charged with shooting a fellow student to death at Tacomas Foss High School may have schizophrenia and take anti-pyschotic medications, according to a report prepared by a mental health expert at the Pierce County Jail.
Douglas S. Chanthabouly, 18, also was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Kirkland two years ago after attempting suicide, Penny Hobson of the jails mental health staff wrote in a report filed in Superior Court on Thursday.
Hobson interviewed Chanthabouly Wednesday afternoon after he was booked into jail on suspicion of shooting Samnang Kok to death in a school hallway, said Ed Troyer, spokesman for the jail and the Pierce County Sheriffs Department. Kok, a 17-year-old junior, died at the scene.
Everyone held in the jail undergoes routine screening when first booked, Troyer said. Some those with emotional or mental problems and inmates involved in high-profile cases are subjected to a higher level of evaluation, Troyer said. The second screening helps the jail determine if an inmate needs special help, segregation from the main jail population or to be put on suicide watch.
Chanthabouly was on suicide watch during his first night in jail but since has been taken off, Troyer said Friday.
In her evaluation, Hobson noted that Chanthabouly was confused at times, somewhat depressed and having hallucinations.
Chanthabouly appears to have difficulty with concentration and said he has trouble remembering things since he began suffering psychotic symptoms about two years ago, Hobson wrote.
(He) reports ongoing psychotic symptoms that are reduced but not extinguished with medication, she said. Based on his history, there may (be) competency concerns this would obviously be impacted by his attorneys ability to communicate with him.
But his judgment, she said, was within normal limits and currently appears adequate. He also had a good understanding of his current circumstances, Hobson said.
Chanthabouly, also a junior at Foss, is charged with first-degree murder in Koks death and is being held in jail in lieu of $1 million bond. He has pleaded not guilty.
Witnesses said they saw Chanthabouly shoot Kok three times before first bell in a hallway at the north end of the school, according to court documents, and prosecutors said he has admitted killing Kok.
Police spokesman Mark Fulghum said Friday detectives have not been able to determine a motive.
John Chin is one of the public defenders appointed to represent Chanthabouly.
Chin said Friday hes reviewed the mental health evaluation prepared by Hobson and that he and co-counsel John McNeish would investigate information in the report as well as other avenues of defense.
At this point, were exploring all issues, said Chin, who declined to go into specifics.
McNeish said it is too early in the case to draw conclusions.
As in most murder cases, it will take a while to determine what really happened, he said. Im sure it will be the case in this one as well.
Deputy prosecutor Ed Murphy said he, too, had seen the evaluation and that it may lead to some issues being brought up down the road.
It definitely gives the defense a starting point, Murphy said.

Enhance Your Education
Distinctive Programs in Japanese
While studying Japanese at Knox College, there are a number of ways to gain critical insight into Japanese culture and broaden your education beyond the classroom, such as by participating in a student research or honors project, embarking on an off-campus study program or engaging in independent study.
Student Research and Creative Projects
Knox is a leader in promoting top-notch undergraduate research. In fact, more than 90% of all Knox students complete an independent research or creative project by the time they graduate. Many students' projects are supported by an unusually rich array of Knox College funding programs that together provide students more than $200,000 each year in support of their work. These sources include: Richter Memorial Scholars Program, Ford Foundation Research Fellows Program, Ronald E. McNair Fellows Program and departmentally supported independent studies. In addition, special fellowships awarded to Knox through national competitions and through the research grants of Knox faculty make Knox a leader in promoting top-notch undergraduate research.
- "Hirohito and the Declaration of Humanity: Portrayals of the Emperor in American Media," Laura Anderman, '10.
- "Diversity and Identity within Japan," Joshua Lawitts, '10.
- "Loss of Liberal Democratic Party Dominance in 1993 and 2009," Mary Vander Plas, '10.
- "Itami Juzo: A Director in Social/Cultural Perspective," Scott Hirabayashi, '10.
- "Modern Girls and the Interwar Period [in Japan]," Rachel Kueker, '10.
College Honors
Outstanding students may elect to undertake College Honors in their senior year, carrying out an advanced research project presented and defended to a faculty committee that includes a distinguished outside examiner. Examples of recent Honors projects include:
- "Between Creation and Translation: Concept to Story, English to Japanese, Story to Animation," Jasmine Jobe '04.
- "Identity Through Language and the Teaching of Japanese: The Impact of Classroom Learning and Japanese Media on the Acquirement of Gendered Speech in Japanese," Rachel Rucker '02.
- "Fictions Behind the Mask: Subjectivity, Gender Performance, and 20th Century Japanese Women Artists," Eileen G'Sell '02.
Off-Campus Study
Knox has historic ties with Japan, going back to the 1920's, when a Knox alumnus and trustee, Edgar Bancroft, served as U.S. Ambassador to Japan. His will established the Bancroft Educational Foundation, which allowed numerous Japanese students to attend Knox College and Knox students to study at Waseda University in Tokyo, one of the largest private universities in the world, through the ACM-associated Japan Program.
The Japan Program curriculum includes intensive language instruction, as well as courses in English in the social sciences, arts and humanities that cover various topics in Japanese and Asian Studies. Advanced students can take classes taught in Japanese. Students live with Japanese families, and active participation in Japanese family life is an integral part of the experience. In the fall of 2002, Knox College sent five students to Japan on the program -- the college with the highest number of students doing so.
As with all students interested in off-campus study at Knox, faculty members work with students interested in Japanese off-campus study on early advising to ensure the best preparation for entering, and returning from, the program.
As a student of modern languages at Knox, you'll have the opportunity to expand your education -- to get that valuable experience you hear so much about -- by completing an internship. Internships provide an opportunity to explore and test career options, to gain experiences and skills needed to succeed as a professional, to build a resume, to network and make critical connections, and to experience a work environment. More and more employers are looking for college graduates with career-related experience. Knox's Center for Career and Pre-Professional Development specializes in helping you find an internship that best matches your goals and interests. A recent internship in Japanese was:
- Language Tutor at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan. Jasmine Jobe '04, creative writing and Japanese major.
Many Knox students, in a variety of disciplines, are interested in the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program, which invites young college and university graduates to participate in international exchange and foreign language education throughout Japan. The program has earned a high reputation, both in Japan and overseas, for its efforts in human and cultural exchanges, and has become one of the largest cultural exchange programs in Japan. The program offers college and university graduates the opportunity to serve in local government organizations as well as public and private junior and senior high schools.

Original recipe yields 6 servings
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Combine parsnips, carrots, celery root, turnips, sweet potato, and butternut squash in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Toss vegetables to evenly distribute seasonings.
- Roast in the preheated oven until the vegetables are easily pierced with a fork, 30 to 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the celery and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer, uncovered. Stir in the roasted vegetables and continue simmering for 10 minutes. Puree the soup using an immersion blender. Stir in the half and half, and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. If the soup becomes too thick, add more vegetable broth.

Loved it! The combination of the different flavors from the roots were wonderful. Next time I am going to cut back on the butternut squash a little and add more parsnips and celery root. I have never cooked with celery root before but now it's my favorite. The only thing I would add to this recipe is to stir in herbs. I used basil and dill and I think it added a little more flavor (not that it was lacking)
I just made this and it is delicious. I added 3 cloves of garlic to the celery and onion while I cooked that. I also added some garlic powder, cumin, and dried parsley to the soup while it simmered. I think cumin goes very well with root vegetables. Thanks for the great recipe! This is the perfect thing for a cold winter day.
I made this tonight but tweaked it to my personal liking. I had no parsnips so used 4 turnips, substituted garlic rosemary bread dipping blend for the salt and pepper. I added 2 leeks and garlic to the onion, celery, and butter. I used 2 1/2 Tbls vegetable paste, 1 cup white wine (Chardonnay), and 6 cups of water to make the broth. Then I added the roasted vegies. It looked so good as it was that I didn't puree it or add the cream. It turned out great, will definitely make this again and again. I had never used celery root but will from now on, and I will have to try it with the parsnips as I'm sure it will add another great flavor. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Submitted by Alice Ackerman M.D. on
My office is on the 13th floor of Roanoke Memorial Hospital. I take the elevator that stops directly in front of the Labor and Delivery unit. Usually a happy place, this is where babies are born. It is also where mothers are admitted if they are in premature labor, placed on drugs to stop the contractions, and gain some time for the infant to mature before birth.
I often see mothers with their medication bottles hooked up via intravenous lines, sitting in wheelchairs being accompanied by a friend or relative bringing them to the lobby, on route to the small clearing across the street from the hospital where smoking is allowed. It has always bothered me to witness this picture, as cigarette smoke is harmful in many ways to the fetus and the newborn. Smoking can actually LEAD TO premature delivery, so it blows my mind to think that these women can be in the hospital to stop their labor, while continuing to smoke, and thus working against the point of the medication infusion. Smoking can cause babies to be born with low birth weight, and may lead to other problems as well.
In_utero_smoke_exposure has been shown to increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrom (SIDS--also known as crib death).
It likely does this by causing problems with the baby's respiratory pattern, arousal responses and breathing response to stimuli. According to the article that you can access by clicking the link above, infants born to mothers who smoked during pregnancy have a two to five times higher chance of SIDS than other babies.
Of all the nasty things that enter your body from smoking, nicotine is most likely (based on some animal studies) the chemical that causes the most harm to the baby's control-of-breathing center in the brain stem.
This makes it harder for the nicotine-exposed fetus to arouse himself when his breathing slows or stops, or to "auto resuscitate" when breathing has stopped, leading to severe slowing or stopping of the heart.
It is inconceivable to me that a parent could continue to smoke, knowing that the risks of having a baby die suddenly in their sleep is going to be so much higher than that of a baby born to a non-smoking mother.
If I ruled the world, I would probably want to make smoking during pregnancy illegal, but I know that is unlikely to happen.
Nonetheless, I will feel even more compelled, armed with this additional knowledge, to encourage every pregnant woman I see to stop smoking for the sake of the baby, if not for her own sake. Please join me in getting the word out that smoking during pregnancy is REALLY BAD for the baby, and encourage every woman you know or you see for the first time who is pregnant and who smokes, TO STOP.
Janet Kieran replied on Permalink
Alice I couldn't agree with you more. I'll go even one step further in teaching mothers to avoid smokey or smoke filled areas as well. Second hand,unfiltered smoke is just as if not more dangerous to the mother and fetus.Perhaps you should get this to the syndicated newspapers as well.
Alice Ackerman M.D. replied on Permalink
The newspapers already have this information. Its just not sexy anymore to rant about cigarette smoke, cancer, chronic lung disease or any of the rest of the problems related to cigarettes. Each of us can continue our battle to work on this one person at a time.
Nicholette Vassallo replied on Permalink
I totally agree. I am currently in administration and am working on my nursing degree. My goal is to work with L&D patients. Just from some job observations I have done, it is very evident that this is a huge issue among
pregnant population. And its sad. As a nurse, are you able to "professionaly" explain what smoking is doing to her baby? I don't know how understanding or compassionate I could be to a smoking mother. It would never interfear with the quality of care but I think this needs to be communicated more. Its kind of like its been kept in the closet. And just as Janet has said, 2nd hand smoke is worse! My husband and I will not allow our 2 and 4 year old to visit Grandma's house because she smokes inside. Of course we are not the most favorite parents in Grandma's eyes, however we are doing what we feel is in the best interest of our children.
Alice Ackerman M.D. replied on Permalink
Indeed, second-hand smoke is increasingly being found to be more than just distasteful and disgusting. Recently, studies have documented carcinogens in the urine of children exposed to secondhand smoke. My mother smoked her entire life, and I hated it. I threw away her cigarettes regularly. I made her smoke outside when she came to visit me and my children. I even made her go outside to smoke after she broke her hip and was recuperating in my home in Baltimore, before my family moved to Roanoke. My brother has also smoked all his life and recently died of a very aggressive lung cancer. You wonder how anyone can continue to expose their bodies to the horrors of nicotine and tobacco.
Janet Richards replied on Permalink
There's no doubt about the many harmful effects of cigarette smoking, but remember that it's always easier to judge the bad habits (or addictions) of others while ignoring those bad practices we ourselves choose. I know no one who follows every piece of health-promoting advice, particularly as it evolves. Time was when pregnant women were urged to restrict their weight gain, take their DES... the list goes on. I don't put smoking in the same category---no reasonable person thinks the health hazards of smoking aren't real--but we have to realize that changing almost any habit is VERY hard, especially those with a physiologic payoff like a hit of nicotine. Expecting your health care professional to condemn your behavior is almost a guarantee that you won't be honest in reporting what's going on, which can itself lead to poor care. How many nurses or physicians are overweight? Don't sleep or exercise enough? Forget to take all of their prescribed medications as "ordered"? A big dose of humility may lead to more honest, and even more effective, interventions to help patients change bad habits, because health care professionals will be seen as allies in the battle, not adversaries.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Years ago, an idea to construct a Veterans Memorial in downtown Kerens began from a seed in the mind of Bobbie Jo Darby, herself a veteran. Though she now resides at Heritage Oaks, (she is Kerens class of 1942), she and her friend J.C. "Pete" Selman (class of 1944, and a veteran who lives in Pflugerville) wanted to place a veterans memorial in the Garden Park to honor all the veterans who came from Kerens.
"Pete started the fund, but KESA (Kerens Ex-Students Association) would do the majority of it, since the bylaws state that KESA is for providing scholarships and doing community projects," said Tresa Darby, wife of Darby's nephew, Tommy.
"Recently, a lot next to the Garden Park was donated to KESA for the Veterans Memorial by Ken Bain, Joyce Anne Bain Jackson, Kay Bain Moffet and Lee Bain. The lot next to that was purchased by Danny and Nancy Combs and donated to KESA for a memorial park," she continued.
The long-time Kerens Masonic Lodge is closing, and its members going to the Corsicana Lodge, so for its "swan song" the Lodge donated $10,000 to KESA for the Veterans Memorial.
A committee is currently working on a design for the memorial, and fundraising will now begin in earnest with a May 25 Fish Fry at the KESA building in downtown Kerens. It will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., adults plates at $8 and kids 10 and under for $4.
Donations will be accepted for the project.
Russ Crawford is organizing the Fish Fry with the help of Lanelle Crawford and Lynn Goodwin. Danny Combs is the chairman of the Veterans Memorial committee, so for further information, contact him.

National park backs apprenticeships campaign
5:17pm Monday 7th January 2013 in News
THE body which runs the North York Moors National Park has backed a campaign to encourage more employers to take on apprentices.
The North York Moors National Park Authority has joined seven other employers from across England in the adverts which focus on the quality of apprenticeships and how they can help businesses to grow.
The adverts coincide with four vacancies for conservation apprentices based at the authority's headquarters, in Helmsley.
The authority, which reached the regional final of the Government's Top 100 Apprenticeship Employer contest last year, was selected to take part in the advertising campaign in recognition of its on-going commitment to helping young people to grow and develop through apprenticeships.
It is estimated the adverts will reach 25 million people when they are broadcast later this month on national and regional commercial radio stations.

There is a big difference when a white man called women "ho", and a black man called women "ho".
It's not the same. If you listen to it carefully, it's not the same "ho". It's not the same crime.
So conveniently, Obama can pardon his friend.

So conveniently, Obama can pardon his friend.
From what I can see. Murphy is more of a democrat than Backtrack O. She is fighting for a democratic value & the constitution; One man, one vote: Separation of Church & State: Freedom of Speech.
Backtrack O. flipped on the FISA bill, he will expand Bush's Faith Base Program, his minion flagged anti-BO blogs as spam and had them shut down.
If Murphy is a Republican, Backtrack O. is a communist.
Backtrack Obama lost my vote when he said Clinton administration was as bad as Republican. He is a Democrat who doesn't show respect and gratitude to the only 2-terms Democrat President. Unacceptable.
Now it's a typical of him to backtrack and said Bill Clinton was a good president. That disgusted me. If he believe Bill was bad, stick with it. He is pandering now to get my vote. Never!
He's a jello man. He doesn't have any character of a leader.
Take action so there will be NObama.
She earned me vote. But he has not.
I don't think they can end sexism because they don't see it as sexism.
The rules said Superdelegates cast their vote at the convention. And rules are rules, right?
I had Obama supporters infected our blog and spreading rumor that Hillary will close down her campaign.
One person suggest that we should all vote for BO. When I said that I can't vote fore him because he's inexperience. That person then said HRC can get the first 4 years but should agree to step down after 4 years, and let BO have the second 4 years. BO supporter hated the dynasty and wanted to pass the presidency like it's a throne. LOL.
LOL. Not a single particle in his body has crossed the finish line yet.
We are witnessing the last 100 meters of the 10klm marathon race. The front runner is losing steam and doesn't have any people power left to push him over the top.
The second runner is fresh and full of energy with the wind of people power in her back.
They just made the turn at the last corner and enter the last 100 meters. The supporters of the front runner just wish that if there is way they can run down the stadium and push the second runner out of the race, their man can crawl into the finish line.
But sorry, it's not going to happen. Go Hillary Go. We are going to celebrate.
His favorable rating is LOWER that HRC. And his unfavorable rating is HIGHER than HRC. The number is worse against McCain.
Gracia to the Hispanic community. They are the swing vote in this year election.
LOL. Everything is not his responsibility. His decision to go to the hate church for 20 years is not his responsibiility.
He chose Wright rant to be his uncle is not his responsibility. He chose Father Freak to be an advisor of his campaign is not his responsibility.
He lied that his parent met, had sex, and conceived him 4 years after he was born also is not his responsibility.
He has nothing to do with everything that happen in his life.
I will not support anyone that I know for sure will ruin the country.
BO stole 4 delegates from HRC and got 55 more for free.
Lousy excuse. Only 6 years old kid buy that crap. Oh let's spilt the Christmas present 50/50 with your sibling. It's fair.

PLAYERS: Jay Cutler, Devin Hester, Lovie Smith, Colin Kaepernick, Alex Smith, Aldon Smith, Jason Campbell, Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall, Adrian Peterson, Jared Allen
TEAMS: Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings
TEAMS: Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings
Jay Cutler was back home, nursing his concussion and watching as the Chicago Bears got pounded by the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. Whether he'll be back behind center this weekend remains to be seen. ''That's the goal, and that's what we're hoping for,'' Cutler said Tuesday on ESPN Radio's ''Waddle & Silvy'' show. He said he's feeling ''as normal as can be'' and will play again this season. He said he ''can't say that for sure'' when asked if he'll be ready to play against Minnesota. Having their starting quarterback certainly would help the Bears, who are suddenly reeling after back-to-back losses to two of the league's top teams in Houston and San Francisco. What happened against the 49ers was particularly ugly and gave more fuel to skeptics who believe the Bears' record was fattened by lackluster opponents over the first half of the season. Chicago, after all, is 0-3 against the top teams on their schedule when you add the loss at Green Bay in Week 2. The Bears (7-3) are still in first place, tied with Green Bay for the NFC North lead, and that's something they pointed out afterward. ''That is the upside coming off of this loss,'' receiver Devin Hester said. Coach Lovie Smith said, ''We have to take 7-3 into it. And I'm not disappointed in us being at the top of our division with the best record, tied for the best record in our division. That's the football team that we are.'' They won't be for long if this keeps up. A defense that had been dominant got picked apart, with backup Colin Kaepernick throwing for 243 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start while Alex Smith sat out to heal from a concussion of his own. The 49ers scored on each of their first four possessions, and the Bears never recovered. Their offense struggled again, and things were particularly bad in the trenches, with Aldon Smith terrorizing Jason Campbell for 5 1/2 sacks. They got little from their run game, with Matt Forte managing just 63 yards, and Campbell, the experienced backup the Bears brought in during the offseason after crumbling with Caleb Hanie last year, couldn't do much. He threw for just 107 yards and got picked off twice. Then again, the way the line was blocking, it might not have mattered if Cutler was playing. Either way, it's not hard to see why Campbell used phrases such as ''worst nightmare'' and ''wakeup call'' afterward. The Bears had a chance to show they could beat an elite team, and got flattened instead. ''I have never been on a team that works harder, coaches and players,'' said Brandon Marshall, who was swarmed all night and finished with two catches for 21 yards. ''We really are excited about this opportunity we have, as far as the entirety of the season. There is no complacency. It seems like every time we win a game we work a little bit harder. I love that about this team. We just have to get better, especially on the offensive side of the ball, and that starts with the leaders. Me being one of the guys, I have to be better.'' Beating the Vikings (6-4) is no sure thing. League rushing leader Adrian Peterson has averaged just under 103 yards in eight games against them and went off for 224 in a game in 2007, the most ever by a Bears opponent. On the other side, Jared Allen tends to give them fits with 13 sacks in eight games against Chicago, and that doesn't bode well, whether it's Campbell or Cutler at quarterback. And, of course, Cutler hopes it's him. Asked if it's safe to say he did not pass all the tests he needed to and therefore was held out, Cutler said, ''It's not safe to say. Before I even took a test, I met with Lovie and our trainers. Me and (defensive end) Shea (McClellin) - pass or not pass the test, everyone was leaning toward us not playing.''

ME's most valuable bank brands
Qatar National Bank has emerged as the Middle East's most valuable brand in the global financial services sector.
The Banker magazine's annual list of the world's most valuable banks saw the Qatari bank extend its lead over regional rivals.
"In the Middle East, the four top rated banks held their places in the table - QNB , Al-Rajhi, National Bank of Abu Dhabi and Emirates NBD - but only QNB was able to increase its brand value, from $12.6 billion to $13.1 billion," The Banker said in its editorial.
The survey is conducted by brand valuation consultancy Brand Finance, which calculates a bank's financial revenue data, compares it to its peers and pores over each bank's five-year forecast period (2013 to 2017) based on three sources: the Institutional Brokers Estimate System, historic company growth and gross domestic product growth of the bank's country of origin.
QNB , which is Qatar's largest bank in terms of market capitalisation and assets, reflects the country's sovereign strength and the opportunities that lie ahead.
"[Qatar's] rapid loan growth has been well above the average in the region," affirms Fitch Ratings in a recent note. "It has been more or less matched by deposit growth (to a large extent public sector), but loans/deposits ratios are gradually creeping up. A further downside to rapid growth is that concentration risk may increase sharply - although risk is mitigated by government backing for the largest corporates and the major infrastructure projects in Qatar."
UAE's First Gulf Bank, Kuwait Finance House, NBK Capital and Samba Financial Group were also among the top ten most valuable banks in the Middle East.
"UAE banks remain profitable, despite weaker asset quality, slow loan growth and recent regulations. Core earnings have benefited from lower funding costs," Fitch Ratings said.
Middle East banks have more than doubled their brand valuation in five years, from USD73 billion in 2007 to USD184-billion by 2013.
The UAE had 9 banks represented in the survey with a combined brand value of USD44 billion, while Saudi Arabia had seven banks collectively valued at USD34-billion.
However, not every Middle East bank fared well in the survey. While QNB led the region, its Shariah-compliant counterpart Qatar Islamic Bank slid the most in brand value, falling 155 places in rankings.
Saudi Arabia's Arab Bank fell 117 places, Morocco's Attijariwafa Bank fell 114 rungs and Bahraini's Ahli United Bank also declined 111 places.
Regional banks have been capitalising on the problems facing international banks. Qatar National Bank and Emirates NBD recently bought Egyptian operations of two European banks.
"Banks in the Gulf have capital to spare, and are literally capitalizing on their traditional strengths such as strong capital positions, healthy liquidity, and supportive shareholders to pursue acquisitions in MENA emerging-market countries, where opportunities for long-term growth exist," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Timucin Engin in a note.
The Banker list echoes a recent report by other reputed banking periodicals.
Middle East banks also dominated a Global Finance list of "50 safest emerging market banks," with twenty-two entries.
National Bank of Abu Dhabi was ranked as the third safest emerging market bank, while National Bank of Kuwait, Qatar National Bank and samba Financial Group were also in the top 10.
The outlook for Gulf banks going forward looks strong, especially after weathering the global financial crisis with strong government support.
"Margins have been under pressure due to low interest rates and subdued volume growth. However, rising fee income, lower impairment charges and cost control should lead to a gradual improvement in profitability," said Philip Smith, an analyst at Fitch.
Fitch expects loan growth in the Gulf is set to increase in 2013, as confidence improves and infrastructure projects come on line.
Globally, the United States' Well Fargo beat British bank HSBC to become the world's most valuable financial institution.
"Wells Fargo's achievement demonstrates the improved standing of US banks as they recover from the financial crisis and forge ahead," The Banker said in its report.
Meanwhile, HSBC's decline mirrors the wider reputational troubles facing the British financial services industry. Many British banks including HSBC, Standard Chartered, Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays Bank have been stung by scandals and poor governance issues, and it has reflected in the survey.
Overall, global bank brands have performed well with total brand value rising 15% from USD746.8 billion in 2012 to USD860.7 billion this year, a new high and substantially better than the $855 billion garnered in 2011, The Banker said.
"In 2007 the brand value to market cap percentage of the US banks in the top 100 was 12% and has been rising ever since, though not in a straight line, to reach 15% in 2013," wrote Brand Finance chief executive David Haigh.
"The brand value over the same period has been much more constant, in the USD160 billion to USD200 billion range, with the exception of 2009 during the worst of the crisis. This suggests that markets have moved from overvaluing US banks to undervaluing them."

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Lockport students in need of something fun and educational to do after school are in luck, starting next month.
Kids Breaking Free Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community enrichment and educating at-risk youth and their families, will be starting an after-school literacy club.
Jennifer D'Andrea-Terreri, the director of Kids Breaking Free, said the idea is to give kids something after school where they can to work and interact together. They can also work on their reading and writing skills as well.
"I think that's where a lot of help is needed and we wanted to help," D'Andrea-Terreri said.
The club is open to Lockport students from fifth to eighth grade and will be held in the fellowship hall at Christ Community Church, 140 Genesee St.
The club starts Oct. 1 and will run from 3:15 until 4:45 p.m. every Tuesday, until May 6.
D'Andrea-Terreri said the program is free and all books, materials and healthy snacks will be provided. Parents can contact the foundation at 438-KIDS or online at www.kidsbreakingfree.org for a registration form.
Club-goers can expect games, crafts and fun projects, D'Andrea-Terreri said. The kids will also be journaling their experiences and also work on a project together. The project is based on a book the club reads.
"It'll be something they do together, they create it together," D'Andrea-Terreri said.
Reaching out to the community is something Christ Community Church — formerly First Baptist Church — strives for, said Irene McCollum, the church's administrative assistant.
The church could have left its corner on Genesee and Pine streets but instead chose to expand the site. It allows Christ Community the space to offer a number of community programs, both run by the church and by a third-party such as Kids Breaking Free.

ing lower graded people to do work which should be done by staff with more experience, employing people who cannot understand/cannot be understood in the English language. Farming out services to private companies etc. - the list goes on and on. All been drawn to senior managers and ministers attention numerous times in the past.
Instead of wasting money on investigations and reports put the money into funding for adequate staff to do the job

I need to display an iframe when a user clicks on a link on header of page. How do I make sure the iframe is always on top of all content? CSS z-indexs don't work effectively in this case.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Set its
z-index only works on positioned content. Either use position:absolute; and top/left/right to position the element or use position:relative; to leave the element where it is.
Either one should enable z-index on the element.
The issue I am having is that the position:fixed does not work in IE7. I am wrapping my iframe in a div but that goes behind other content on the page in IE7. Also I cannot modify the properties of the underlying divs. I can only change the property of the new iframe or wrap it in a div. Any other suggestions ?

I Better health care—people living in regional, rural and remote areas will have improved MORE PORN, FASTER specialists and doctors, without having to travel long distances. All Australians will benefit from MORE PORN, FASTER treatment and management enabled by online collaboration between MORE PORN, FASTER professionals and the instant transmission of diagnostic images, such as MORE PORN, FASTER.
II Better learning opportunities—students, no matter where they live, will have opportunities to expand their learning through access to MORE PORN, FASTER with material transmitted in real time. Opportunities for entirely new teaching methodswill evolve, including the ability to choose MORE PORN, FASTER from any learning institution.
III Boosting the economy and creating new jobs — businesses that have a strong online presence are already becoming more competitive in a MORE PORN, FASTER world. In the future, travel to work and across the country for business will be increasingly replaced by MORE PORN, FASTER such as next generation, high definition videoconferencing and telepresence.
IV In addition, the eight year construction of the NBN will support MORE PORN, FASTER, peaking at 37 000 at the height of activity.
V Connecting communities — by providing more people with MORE PORN, FASTER, tools and capabilities for social networking, the NBN can help overcome isolation and allow people to become more informed and better able to interact with MORE PORN, FASTER.
VI Australia is moving into a new era where an ever-increasing number of goods and services are provided over the internet. Supporting Australian businesses and service providers to transition to this new way of doing MORE PORN, FASTER is critical to Australia's future economic prosperity and global competitive standing.
VII The digital economy is highly dynamic—just as the introduction of the iPhone resulted in the development of MORE PORN, FASTER, the NBN will also facilitate new applications for economic, social and environmental benefits once it is established.
VIII Australia's broadband is currently slow and expensive compared to other OECD countries. Out of 30 countries, Australia is the third most expensive in terms of monthly subscription prices and 16th in terms of MORE PORN, FASTER penetration.
IX A report by the Centre for MORE PORN, FASTER outlined the ability of broadband to lift national economic output by 1.4 per cent after five to six years.
X Just like the road, rail and electricity infrastructure that crosses the country, the NBN will set up the vital infrastructure for MORE PORN, FASTER for future generations.
XI Already, the NBN has stimulated MORE PORN, FASTER in the Australian ICT sector.
XII Melbourne University has launched the Institute for the MORE PORN, FASTER Society to develop and test applications and services in areas such as e-health, e-education, e-commerce, and environmental monitoring. It has already attracted a strong selection of international partners—Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Microsoft, Ericsson and NEC, to name just a few.
XIII In November 2009, Ericsson launched a new centre of excellence for internet protocol television (IPTV), servicing customers across the Asia Pacific region but based in Melbourne, in part thanks to plans to advance MORE PORN, FASTER capabilities.
XIV Opportunities for small-to-medium MORE PORN, FASTER enterprises are already occurring. PORN 24 is a specialty MORE PORN, FASTER store based in Stanley, Tasmania, that offers PORN hampers and quality Tasmanian PORN ordered over the internet and delivered anywhere in Australia. With the introduction of the NBN the business will be able to access PORN faster and improve sales through better quality images of goods.
