Back in November 2012, actress Beverley Mitchell made headlines when she announced that she's expecting her first child with husband Michael Cameron. "My sense of smell was off the charts, to the point where I could smell a kid's dirty diaper from the other side of a restaurant," Mitchell told People magazine of her early pregnancy changes. The 31-year-old has since adjusted happily to being pregnant, even becoming a celebrity blogger for the news source. It was through her
Reality television star Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend, Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West, made headlines around the world when they announced on Dec. 30 that they're expecting a baby!

Man City transfers: Isco hints at summer move away from Malaga
Man City transfers: Isco says he could still seal a transfer away from Malaga this summer despite penning a new deal last month
Open a Paddy Power account for up to £250 in free bets
Manchester City could still swoop to bring Isco to Eastlands this summer after the Spain international admitted he would be open to a transfer away from Malaga.
City had their hopes of signing the 20-year-old playmaker dashed last month when he signed a new contract at the La Liga outfit, with his new deal said to contain a £30m buy-out clause.
Isco says he would still consider a move away from La Rosaleda but admits that it would take "a lot of money" to secure his services.
"If a club decides to come and sign me they'll have to be a big club because it'd be a lot of money," said Isco.
"Therefore, if it would help Malaga, I wouldn't have a problem accepting a transfer, if it benefited both of us."
Isco, who joined Malaga from Valencia in 2011, has scored 10 goals in 29 appearances in all competitions this season.

"Pretty close to a remission," Harper's doctor says.
October 18, 1990 in Wasilla, Alaska, USA
Bristol Palin spent much of her formative teen years caught in the center of a media firestorm. The daughter of former Alaskan governor and 2008 Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, she endured public scrutiny after announcing she was pregnant with her high school boyfriend's child on the first day of the Republican National Convention. But before the world laid eyes on the poster girl for teen pregnancy, she was born Bristol Sheeran Marie Palin on Oct. 18, 1990 in Wasilla, Alaska, the eldest daughter and second child of Todd and Sarah Palin. She attended Juneau-Douglas High School, where she met a hockey player named Levi Johnston. They began dating in 2005 and were immediately on the fast track to a serious relationship. The young couple was engaged and pregnant three years later, coincidentally during Palin's mother's run for office. While advisers for Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Sarah's running mate, saw the teen's pregnancy as a liability to their campaign, she still appeared at the convention with her family and Johnston. Palin gave birth to Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston on Dec. 27, 2008. Shortly after, in March 2009, Palin and Johnston broke off their engagement.

VA Poll: Romney Leads 49-44, Gains Nine Points on Obama Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 11 Sep 2012 post a comment A new Gravis Marketing Poll of likely voters in the key swing state of Virginia released on Tuesday found Mitt Romney with a 5-point (49% to 44%) lead over President Barack Obama. The same poll in August had Obama leading Romney by four points (44% to 40%) in Virginia. The poll surveyed 2,238 likely voters in Virginia from September 8-9 and discovered while Obama remained at 44%, Romney gained 9 percentage points by winning over voters who had previously been undecided. Fifty-three percent of those surveyed in Virginia said the country was headed in the wrong direction even tough Virginia's unemployment rate is under 6%, well below the national 8.1% unemployment rate, which was only lowered last month because 368,000 people gave up looking for work and left the workforce in August. Only 36% of Virginians said the country was headed in the right direction, and Gravis Marketing found there was "very little gender difference" on this question, which may explain why the Obama campaign is trying to court women voters in Northern Virginia by instigating and playing up the "war on women" culture war.

The Bedlam loss may have been heartbreaking for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, but the season is not lost. OSU now must refocus and prepare for a Baylor team playing at home that is coming in on a two-game winning streak — which includes delivering Kansas State its lone loss of the year.
"Kind of have to get over it tonight and get back to work (Sunday)," OSU quarterback Clint Chelf said following Saturday's Bedlam loss. "We have another game left. We have to put it in the rearview mirror and get ready for Baylor.
There is still plenty on the line for Oklahoma State in regards to bowl bids. While OSU no longer has a shot at a return to a BCS bowl, the Cowboys could land anywhere between the Cotton Bowl and the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl (formerly the Insight Bowl).
A win for Oklahoma State solidifies its chances at the better bowl, the Cowboys will still have to play the waiting game with Oklahoma and Kansas State.
The best case scenario for OSU, is if the Sooners top TCU and K-State clips Texas, it is possible both teams would earn BCS bids — opening up the opportunity for an 8-4 OSU team to play in the Cotton Bowl.
If OU loses, Kansas State would clinch the Fiesta Bowl bid regardless of its game against Texas and the Sooners will settle for the Cotton Bowl. OSU's bowl would then depend on the outcome of the Kansas State and Texas game, needing a K-State win to clinch a trip to the Alamo Bowl
If Oklahoma and Kansas State loses, the Pokes will be bound for the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. It's also possible for OSU to play in the Arizona bowl game if Texas tops Kansas State — as UT would get the Alamo Bowl bid due to the head-to-head over Oklahoma State.
The Cowboys may be done with their regular season early Saturday with the 11 a.m. start at Baylor, but they will definitely be focusing on the televisions to find out where they could be landing in the bowl season.

It might be the best pasta in the neighborhood. We're partial to the Carbonara and the Paglia E Feino con Proscuitto. Check out their store to DIY.
The aurora sauce is to die for! And in the winter they have a great potato leek soup
I come here about once a week. Aurora sauce is the best! Get the side BBQ chicken warmed up for you. Cut it up, add it to the penne aurora- Bon appetite!
Don't stray from the gnocchi with creamy pesto, mostly everything else is on the bland side. Cash only!
the food is so good here! I'd recommend sitting in the cafe and ordering the pumpkin soup - they make it with lots of cream and maple syrup. now that's some serious soup! aye yo!!
The soup here is incredible. The pumpkin and tomato soups are really thick and creamy. The split pea is like porridge. There are heaping amounts of vegetables in every spoonful! So good!
Get the Aurora sauce on any pasta. It's incredible. And the staff is insanely nice.
Cafe & Restaurant closed on weekends. Stock up on cheese Friday night. Aged Cheddar is a great snack. Tomato soup is a perfect choice as well.
Easily the best kept secret for lunch in the hood. Tremendous Pastas and soups. Grab a seat in the cafe if there's room.
Great food, and great service! You get bread and salad with every pasta. It's pasta on pasta, and that's what makes it perfect!
This picture doesn't it do it justice. I got the cheese ravioli with the Aurora sauce. Delicious definitely will go there again!
I believe they changed to take cards but you can only tip in cash, which is weird. Love the manicotti. Pasta comes w/ salad & bread. Pretty sure the lunch deal is the exact same as dinner but cheaper.
You can pick and choose from different pastas and sauces.. Ask for the linguine pesto cream sauce... Divine!! And it's Cash Only!!
The pesto sauce is really good. If getting gnocchi make sure they don't put it in the hot water for too long bc it's already cooked. Can be borderline mushy and not al dente, how it should be.
Freshly made tortellini and ravioli are delicious! They serve up big portions to go.
Great pasta, aurora sauce delicious! Remember to bring cash, plastic is no good here.
I was very impressed! They must have recently updated because I payed with a card.
Awesome pasta; fun bonus, you get not one, but two loaf sized pieces of bread with your meal.
Unpretentious, well-priced, and deeeelish. Try the pasta with the spinach cream sauce! So full!
Soups, sandwiches & pastas at amazing prices. They have a restaurant but the express shop is quick. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is so nice! It'll have you coming back for more! —Kristen L.
Had the gnocchi w/ pesto cream sauce. Not the best choice for mid-day lunch, unless you like falling asleep at you desk.
order next door at the cafe for a cheaper price :) lovve their pasta! get the half and half sauce combo! it's the best! I always get the Aurora/Arrabiata w/cheese on cavatappi, pesto's good too!
The bolognese sauce here is a favorite. And I always have a side of cheese. Today was asiago. Outrageous. Perfect for a gloomy day.

RU TWO: Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race has hit the airwaves. Which means, of course, that Poison Water and her pit crew are back on track with the second season of Portland's live version of that show at the Red Cap. No, I am not one of the judges. They've gone with a new trio (including the always fabulous Maria), new challenges, and a whole new roster of contestants (well, except for one who has changed her name, but is still as out-there as ever). Watching part of last night's festivities I couldn't help but notice that amongst the church ladies, and Jersey Shore wannabe's there was one "gal" who really stood out. And that would be "Trailer Hitch" (pictured above with Poison) She was what one of the judges called a "hot mess." Thank god, every contest needs at least one.

DATE NIGHT: Last night I laughed my ass off at the Bagdad Theater. That's because a fundraiser for the Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon featured "Stories from The Dark Side of Dating." And, I have tell I was super impressed by the line-up of people who I consider my friends (on Facebook and off) who lined up to tell their tales of dating woe. Standouts included Courtenay Hameister's painful and suprisingly poignant "hot tub" party experience, Mark Wiener's life-affirming "moment," Jeff Cogen's date from Jewish-retirement hell, and Aaron Mesh's "first" date that involved girls against boys dodgeball. But none stood out like PPAO's Executive Director Roey Thorpe's (pictured above with one of the evening's co-host's Karol Collymore) pie/prison date. Thorpe has allowed me to share the story. It is amazing! Make sure to click on the READ MORE button right below the first paragraph of Roey's story.
Blind Date Story, by Roey Thorpe
The date got set up while I was playing in a poker game in the back of an old warehouse a couple of years ago. It was a blind date, arranged by two other players, both women, a couple, whose last names I still don't know. Both last names and women are rare in the world of underground poker games, so at the time it just seemed perfectly fine, but that might be because I had been single for 2 years—2 years!—and was long overdue for something good to happen in the romance department.

VH-FUN: Oracle will play tonight at Dante's as part of that downtown's club 10th-anniversary celebration. Curt Shulz covered all that in The Oregonian in last Friday's A & E. At the end of the article he mentions that the band will debut a video directed by James Westby. What he didn't mention was the tight deadline Westby and the band gave each other to get the video done. Shot just last Sunday in a very cool Northeast studio (see above) as well as other locations, Westby has had to hustle major ass to get all the post-production done in time for tonight's show. And, I have to tell, if he was able to make that deadline, this is going to be one trippy video.

The size of a quarter and she isnt in pain yes u can see and.feel a lump
Dr. Saha
replied 6 months ago.
Thank you Ashley, for the information.
There can be a few possibilities.
The symptoms of a prominent vein can be due to Mondor's disease or superficial thrombophlebitis of the breast.
The outcome is usually good.
Often it resolves by itself.
If she feels any pain,then she can take anti-inflammatory analgesics.
This usually lasts for 3-4 weeks, but sometimes it can last longer.
However, if there is a feeling of a lump there can be other possibilities like an infection, abscess, growth/tumor etc.
I would suggest to take an examination by doctor.
Doctor can take ultrasound examination or mammography, if he thinks necessary for confirmation.
I hope this information helps.
I will be happy to assist, if you need any clarification.
Please feel free for any follow up query.
Best wishes.

BC News
Police seize guns, drugs and ammo
British Columbia's anti-gang unit says it has seized 19 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition during an investigation on Vancouver Island that led to one arrest.
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. says members also seized six grams of crack cocaine, as well as other items including a Taser and equipment used for the sale of drugs from the properties located in Courtenay.
Sgt. Lindsey Houghton says police received a tip in November that a 31-year-old man who has ties to at least one organized-crime group on the island was allegedly selling drugs and possessing firearms.
Houghton says investigators from B.C.'s mainland and Vancouver Island collaborated and arrested the man without incident last Thursday, following a month-long investigation.
Police then executed search warrants on two local residences and a storage facility.
Houghton says the man has been released from custody and could face drug, firearms and weapons-related charges in the coming weeks.

Topic: Shade Tolerant, Herbs/Forbs
Title: Annual flowers for rocky area near driveway in Pennsylvania
Answered by: Nan Hampton
In our Native Plant Database do a COMBINATION SEARCH and select 'Pennsylvania' from the Select State or Province area, then choose 'Herb' under Habit (general appearance), 'Annual' under Duration (lifespan), and 'Part shade...' under Light requirement to find plants that meet your criteria.
Here are a few examples from that list:
Bidens cernua (nodding beggartick)
Coreopsis tinctoria (golden tickseed)
Gaillardia pulchella (firewheel)
Rudbeckia hirta (blackeyed Susan)
Viola sororia (common blue violet)
If you think you could use perennials rather than annuals, you will find a larger number of choices available if you substitute 'perennial' instead of 'annual' for your search term.

Start your delicious tumble down JJ's dinner menu staircase with an order of JJ's famous Paco shrimp ($13), large, meaty crustaceans bacon-twirled and deep-fried, then served with a Dijon mustard and white-wine sauce for dipping. Other enticing appetizers include seared ahi tuna ($13), wild-mushroom brioche toast ($12), and warm goat cheese with toasty crostinis ($10). Standout main courses include JJ's Pride, a 12 oz. center-cut filet rubbed with porcini mushrooms and sided with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a veal demi-glace ($38), and wild boar ragu served with fettuccine ($24). When your belt is on the last hole you added with a screwdriver, ask your server to wheel the dessert tray under your nose. JJ's is also open for lunch, giving office drones a faster and easier midday escape than the tunnel they're digging beneath Accounts Payable with a plastic coffee spoon.
Jazz serves up the tasty, authentic fare and festive party atmosphere one typically finds while strolling down Bourbon Street. Creole and Cajun cravers can browse the restaurant's massive menu, featuring fresh seafood, po' boy sandwiches ($7.49), zesty pastas ($12.99/full order), and spicy blackened entrees. Diners are immersed in a hodgepodge of New Orleans–based décor and swinging live music throughout the week as local bands perform blues and jazz standards, helping visitors let the good times roll while keeping the bad times safely encased in electrified lock boxes.
Armed with a culinary education from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, Chef John Westerhaus uses classical techniques and international flavors to create refined American cuisine. His inspiration stems from a deep love for the simple menus of Parisian sidewalk cafés. For starters, a chipotle-spiked hollandaise sauce blankets a plate of smoked salmon and corn cakes, and garlic-ginger dipping sauce graces lobster spring rolls. For entrees, the restaurant's chefs demonstrate their mastery of traditional American cuisine by grilling rib eyes, Kansas City–style strip steaks, and trout fillets over a pile of smoldering baseballs.
Purple booths and napkins add a splash of color to the dining room's gently lit earth tones. Stone walls divide the dining area from the kitchen, and two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows separate the restaurant from the outside world. To keep things lively indoors, the restaurant hosts live performances by local musicians Wednesday–Sunday, serenading diners with cool jazz and gentle R&B melodies.
Nestled inside Kansas City's landmark Union Station, Pierpont's at Union Station pays tribute to the railroad industry, even taking its name from John Pierpont (J.P.) Morgan. Inside, seafood such as oysters, Maine lobster, scallops, and wild salmon is flown in daily for upscale dishes that complement exquisite steaks hand-selected from the top 12% of beef produced in the United States. These cuts include the signature filet mignon Pierpont, a 6- or 9-ounce filet dressed with blue-cheese cream, balsamic-fig reduction, and roasted-garlic whipped potatoes.
Constructed in 1914, Pierpont's turn-of-the-century setting complements the cuisine, with almost 60% of the restaurant's three floors appearing as they did when WWI first started and most Americans commuted to work via hot-air balloon. Thanks to 8,000 square feet of historical floor space, the night spot can seat up to 200 guests, statistically half of whom are welcome to visit the original women's smoking room. Beneath the dining room, wine cellars house more than 300 bottles of wine, and private dining rooms host events and special occasions. Each room is individually decorated, creating distinctly unique atmospheres for planning a wedding or surprising an investor by asking them to prom.
As the doors to Gaslight Grill's back room swing open, the sounds of Dixeland jazz and the aromas of sizzling Angus steaks waltz forward together to greet guests. Lynn Zimmer and the Jazz Band play rollicking tunes from the 30s and 40s on Wednesday–Sunday nights as diners tap their fingers across the surfaces of menus filled with hand-cut steaks, pistachio-crusted salmon, and jumbo prawns drizzled in beurre blanc. More than 200 wines complement meats from land and sea, and a nimble barkeep dishes out mixed drinks and jetpack fuel for the ride home. It might be difficult to say goodbye, however, to a stately dining room lined with plush booths and illuminated by twin chandeliers.
Crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside—the skillfully deep-fried fish at City Fish and More have kept customers coming back for more than 30 years. Fillets of catfish, tilapia, and basa, battered and breaded with special seasoning, arrive at tables alongside traditional Southern sides. Following in the footsteps of his quality-conscious grandfather, who opened the first fish market in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1938, owner Pete Badalucco only sources the freshest seafood and crinkle-cut fries with exactly 16 ridges.

Under Configuration --> System--> Catalog --> Catalog
It says "Product Listing Sort By" and the Drop Down has "Best Value" "Name" and "Price" However, I want it to list by the ranking I have given each item. I'm wondering how to do this on the Backend to show up on the Frontend since this area isn't letting me do it.
Go to your Manage Category select the category and then select the tab Category Products. If when you created the product discriptions and place them in the proper category you can list those products when you click on the search button. Once they are up, on the right hand side, you can input position order to display the products in the order you want to display them. Order is by numeric numbers starting with '0' .
I actually have ordered them this way. The problem is when I go to the front end, the default view is by Name, even though I have them ordered by number. I can use the drop down to order them by name, price, or position. I don't know how to change the default view to position, or remove those other viewing structures.
You may be stuck in the Cache and not seeing any changes. First clear your browser cache. Then you can try turning off Cache in the admin but, I've found this usually doesn't work and what I end up doing is going to my cpanel, select File Manager and once I'm in the directory of my store I select the folder "var" to open and then delete the cache folders, "cache, report and session" then go back and see if the changes come up.

Written on: 11/08/2013
We booked a room last minute with Book-It to Daytona Beach. When we arrived at the hotel it was very late due to road closure. The hotel was very nice, the room was not located close to the beach, but on the road. We called Book-It at 11pm. The call took 1 hour and 15 minutes. They did arrange another room for us for the remainder of the trip. They charged a $25.00 dollar fee for the phone call, even though we had no choice but to call. Then after we were back home I received an email stating they had charged us for the different room which I expected, but they overcharged that. I sent an email, so I wouldn't be charged another $25.00, and it took 5 days for them to respond. They refunded the over charge, and offered a $25.00 credit on a future booking. I will not use the credit because I will not deal with a company that charges their customers for a phone call to resolve a problem. The hotel also told us that Book-It does not ever book their oceanfront rooms.

Great losses have meant great gains for a top Gophers football assistant.
Gophers offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover was ready for a lifestyle change and was meticulous in the preparation. He had gastric bypass surgery in May.

Food was Matt Limegrover's vice as he climbed the college football coaching ladder and became the Gophers offensive coordinator in 2010.
He was a 6-2, 300-pound lineman when he graduated from the University of Chicago in 1991. Once he settled into his coaching profession, he steadily started gaining about 10 pounds per year.
"I ate when I was happy, I ate when I was sad," Limegrover said. "I ate when I was lonely, I ate when I was bored. If you put it in front of me, I was going to eat it."
The Gophers went 3-9 in 2011, their first season running Limegrover's offense. He also serves as the team's offensive line coach, and the stress that year took a toll, leaving him lethargic. He went to the doctor in January 2012 and weighed in at 403 pounds.
"I was taking six, eight Advil a day, just because my joints ached," said Limegrover, 44. "If we had practice, I'd take three or four more. I had sciatica in my lower back and my leg. I just thought this is how it's going to be."
Limegrover doesn't smoke, and he's never been much of a drinker, but he couldn't control his weight. He had a 61-inch waist and a 22-inch neck. He suffered from sleep apnea, and the doctor warned that he was a candidate for diabetes and hypertension.
After years of failed diets, Limegrover was out of answers. He had considered gastric bypass surgery but wondered, "Does it work? Is it voodoo medicine?" He'd heard of the successes, such as TV's Al Roker, but he'd heard of football coach Charlie Weis' near-death experience, too.
Limegrover learned what the leading research now shows: Morbidly obese patients have far more success controlling their weight through gastric bypass surgery than they do through diet and exercise. That is, if they can adjust to the lifestyle changes that the surgery necessitates.
After visiting the HealthEast Bariatric Care unit in St. Paul, Limegrover threw himself into the preparation process, beginning in February 2012. He had the surgery May 21, 2012.
Now, nearly one year later, Limegrover weighs 235 pounds, a level he has maintained since New Year's. He has a 42-inch waist and an 18-inch neck, and his quality of life has improved immeasurably. Instead of six Advil per day, he said he's taken six Tylenol tablets total over the past year.
Limegrover avoided talking about his surgery publicly at first, but now he hopes his story can positively impact the lives of others. He feels like a new man.
"Being able to go play with my kids, and roll around on the floor and wrestle with my son," Limegrover said. "Or go to the Children's Museum, and not say, 'You guys go ahead, I'll watch from out here.' "
Limegrover and his wife, Ann, have two children, Emma (10) and T.J. (8). The whole family was seen after a Gophers football practice last month, playing softball together.
"He's definitely not as tired," Ann said. "He bounces out of bed in the morning and doesn't complain. There's that sparkle in his eye, which he's always had, but he's even sharper now."
Key preparation phase
Weis had gastric bypass surgery in 2002 after winning the Super Bowl as the New England Patriots' offensive coordinator. He rushed into the surgery, went into a coma and nearly died. Those experiences are chronicled in Weis' autobiography, "No Excuses."
"I probably read that chapter six times," Limegrover said. "The thing that struck me was, at minimum, this was going to be a six-month process for me as far as education, being on a monitored diet, changing my habits.
"And with [Weis], he decided to do it, and like three weeks later they had him on the table. So even if that part had gone as it's supposed to, he had really no education to have success down the road."
At HealthEast, Limegrover put together a thorough diet and health history. Name a diet — Atkins, South Beach, Nutrisystem, Slim Fast, Weight Watchers — and Limegrover had tried it numerous times.
"I was the typical yo-yo dieter," he said. "I'd get on a roll, start feeling good — and life would creep back in."
HealthEast also put Limegrover through two psychological evaluations. He met with a nutritionist three times and attended support group meetings. He also had to get the surgery cleared with his health insurance company and prove that he could go through a controlled weight-loss process before the operation.
"You talk to other people going through it, and they feel like it's a deterrent, like they're trying to convince you not to do [the surgery]," Limegrover said. "But what I realized was everything they were doing was an education, so you know what you're getting into.
Limegrover came up with a mantra: "I wanted to be the best patient HealthEast has ever had."
Fitting his schedule
The college coaching calendar has few breaks, since the offseason is filled with key recruiting windows. Limegrover knew the exact date he needed to have the surgery — May 21, 2012 — to recover in time to be at full strength in early June for head coach Jerry Kill's football camps, which are showcases for recruits.
Limegrover didn't just explain it to Kill. He gave the head coach a power-point presentation, explaining how the process should go.
"Matt graduated from the University of Chicago, and then he went and got his master's degree at Northwestern," Kill said.
"If you were going to play 'Jeopardy,' he's going to win. I mean, he is a very intelligent young man.
"Anything he does, he's going to research and make sure it's perfect. He probably could tell you more about that surgery than the doctors can."
Limegrover knew he needed to get down to 375 pounds so his doctor could perform the laparoscopic operation and not have to cut him open. He cut caffeine, started eating healthier snacks, began exercising and got his weight down to 351 before surgery.
At first, "I couldn't go 20 minutes walking on the treadmill, and I couldn't jog at all," Limegrover said, but his stamina gradually improved.
He recovered from the surgery in time for the June camps, as he had planned. When the Gophers opened fall practice in August, he was down to 270 pounds.
Reporters noticed, but he chalked it up to diet and exercise. He didn't want to talk publicly about the surgery. He wasn't quite ready to claim it a success.
Whole new diet
The surgery permanently divided Limegrover's stomach into two chambers — one large, one small. The small pouch is connected to the small intestine, bypassing the duodenum, where most calories and nutrients are absorbed.
Because Limegrover gets full so fast, he's careful to eat proteins first — chicken, fish or beef. He drinks a protein shake for breakfast each morning, and has replaced his daily intake of seven Diet Cokes with three protein drinks.
Malnutrition is a real danger for gastric bypass patients, so Limegrover takes daily supplements of calcium and vitamins D and B12.
His job makes his new lifestyle especially challenging. No coach wants to turn down a mother's cooking on a recruiting visit. And when recruits come to Minneapolis, the team treats them to decadent dinners and breakfast buffets.
Then there's the constant snacking Limegrover used to do in the film room.
"On Sundays during the season, I used to stop and stock up for the week because I knew we'd be spending all our time in here," Limegrover said. "So it'd be different kinds of chips, pretzels. It'd be stopping at Sam's Club, getting that 5-gallon jug of the cheese balls, and I'd eat one after another."
Those snacks have been replaced with cashews, almonds, string cheese and beef sticks for protein.
"If I have a craving for chocolate, I'll have a couple bites," he said. "I won't have the whole candy bar anymore."
Limegrover has kept up his exercise. Next month, he plans to run a 5K. His surgeon, Dr. Michael Schwartz, said he's met his goal of becoming one of HealthEast's best patients.
"I don't have any magic operations," Schwartz said. "The only thing I can do is create a tool that if he uses properly, he can control his weight. Using it properly involves choosing good foods and exercise. He's just done beautifully with it."
Limegrover was reluctant to tell his story at first because he figured some people would think he'd taken the easy way out or done something radical.
"In some ways it is [radical] because I can't go back on it now," Limegrover said. "But I don't have any regrets."
Actually, he does have one.
"I wish I would have had the financial means and insurance to do it 10 years ago," he said. "I could have been a better coach, better parent, better husband, better son and better friend. Because I'm a totally different person."

Court records and a defense attorney say Michael Lee Olden and Shafiq Ahmad Beria each pleaded guilty Monday in Clark County District Court to felony establishing a financial forgery laboratory.
Each faces probation or up to 10 years in prison at sentencing April 10.
The two men were indicted Nov. 20 after being charged Nov. 14 with eight other people with taking part in a scheme to send forged police reports to consumer credit reporting agencies.
Investigators said the documents indicated that customers had been victims of identity theft, and their credit ratings should be restored to a favorable rating.

My engine has quit twice (over 3 days of driving). Once as I was parking, and the second time while I was driving. Both times were after 8 miles of city driving (from start to quitting) - sometimes in slow traffic. I've also also been able to drive the same distance without it quitting. When I try to restart, it turns over but does not start. All other gauges are at normal level. It restarts after 10 minutes. Is something getting hot and needs to cool? Is it getting fuel? Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

Thoracoscopic Sympathetic Surgery for Review Hand Sweating Takeshi Ueyama,1 Keishi Ueyama,1 Katsushi Ueyama,1 and Yasushi Matsumoto2 Recently, thoracoscopic surgery has been shown to be effective for the relief of hand sweating. Although it is not fatal if left untreated, the treatment aim is to improve the quality of daily life. Therefore, it is important to understand the complaints of the patient, and provide an adequate explanation regarding postoperative sequelae. Surgeons should also recognize that thoracoscopic surgery might cause problems when performed, as the general risk of surgery remains. Many patients have been helped by the procedure, as their choices in life have expanded, and satisfac- tory results can be obtained when indication is determined by a full examination of the patients condition. Between December 1999 and September 2002, we performed thoracoscopic sympathetic surgery in 556 consecutive patients. Five-hundred seventeen (93%) of these complained of profuse hand sweating.

Biologist discovers mammal with salamander-like regenerative abilities
2012 10 02

A small African mammal with an unusual ability to regrow damaged tissues could inspire new research in regenerative medicine, a University of Florida study finds.
For years biologists have studied salamanders for their ability to regrow lost limbs. But amphibian biology is very different than human biology, so lessons learned in laboratories from salamanders are difficult to translate into medical therapies for humans. New research in the Sept. 27 issue of the journal Nature describes a mammal that can regrow new body tissues following an injury.
The African spiny mouse could become a new model for research in regenerative medicine. "The African spiny mouse appears to regenerate ear tissue in much the way that a salamander regrows a limb that has been lost to a predator," said Ashley W. Seifert, a postdoctoral researcher in UFs biology department. "Skin, hair follicles, cartilageit all comes back."
Thats not the case in other mammals, he said. Usually scar tissue forms to fill the gap created by a wound.
The spiny mouse also regrows tissue on its main body when injured but not as completely as it does in its ears. "On their backs, they regrow hair follicles and skin, but the muscle beneath the skin doesnt regenerate," Seifert said. Seifert was studying scar-free healing in amphibians when a colleague told him that a small rodent he had observed in Africa seemed capable of autotomy, a defense mechanism whereby the animal self-amputates a body part to escape a predator.
"Autotomy in skinks, geckos and some salamanders is well known," Seifert said. "But it is very rare in mammals, and so far weve only seen it in a few rodents that can jettison their tail."
Seiferts colleague said that the African spiny mouse appeared to have tear-away skin that allowed it to slip a predators grasp. The notion was interesting enough to send Seifert packing to the Mpala Research Centre near Nairobi, Kenya. In Nairobi, Seifert was able to document the first known case of skin autotomy in a mammal.
But it was how the animals injuries appeared to be healing that really got his attention. Seifert used a 4mm biopsy punch, about the size of a large BB, to puncture holes in the ears of the mice to see if the animal showed regenerative capabilities. "The results were astonishing," he said.
"The various tissues in the ear grew back through formation of blastema-like structuresthe same sort of biological process that a salamander uses to regenerate a severed limb." Ken Muneoka, a Tulane University professor of cell and molecular biology who was not involved with the study, agrees that Seiferts findings are important.
"It could represent a new model system for skin wound healing and tissue regeneration in humans," he said.
