Erin Andrews stonewalls 50 Cent
Written by Matt Yoder on .
Fox's Daytona 500 prerace show featured Erin Andrews in her "Fox signed me to this huge contract and I need to randomly show up at our biggest sporting events" role by... randomly walking down pit road with absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Andrews wandered down pit road strangely in awe of the entire scene, awkwardly bumping into Kevin Harvick, and then... hey look, it's 50 Cent! And in the strangest/most uncomfortable sidline reporting moment since Joe Namath wanted to kiss Suzy Kolber, 50 Cent went in for the liplock and Erin Andrews blocked his advance like Dikembe Mutombo. Truly a great moment in Fox Sports history.
And here's the video version...

@davebiddle @BeauBishop yeah, he must have thought she was Chelsea Handler!! Erin wanted no part of that!!
This was painful to watch. She looked like an idiot. Only to be rivaled by Kristen Chenowith at the Oscars.
I think it is very rude and absurd to think that Erin Andrews snubbed 50 Cent....rather it should be understood that his attempt to kiss her was rude and overbearing on his part. Where does it say that Erin or anyother female (or male reporter) must allow themselves to be kissed or grouped or ogled by any other person regardless of their celebrity status. Maybe he a seious case of alchol breath or worse....one thing is certain, he made no bones about oggling her ass as she turned to walk away!
Does that mean that Erin Andrews will also be doing some Sideline reporing for FOX's coverge of the Men 'sand Women's FIFA World Cup in June and July starting in 2015 too than???
I am suprised however that they are only using her as a Sideline reporter for their coverage of 1 College Basketball game nationally televised on FSN this year too!
@GOlsen2316 Erin obviously forgot 50, aka Ferrari, has the magic stick. #Spittabetes
I was really disappointed. I watch the race because "it's cool to see all the celebrities" that attend.
And she didn't deliver. What a shock.
@awfulannouncing Best part was Fitty waiting for Erin to start walking toward the cars so he could sneak a peek at her rear bumper...
@awfulannouncing I love the Mutombo reference. Now I want to hear EA say "Not in ma' house" in a heavily African-sounding accent.
@curthero222 @garjokar that's hilarious. I think he would have to show up with some backup though!
@dopez24 @jdink03 dear fox- next time wait until EA has found the person of interest before cutting live to her!
"@awfulannouncing: And now we have the 50 Cent/Erin Andrews awkward moment of the year in GIF and video form! http://t.co/R77AS7mncS"#hilar
@KeyWestSniper "@awfulannouncing: And now we have the 50 Cent/Erin Andrews awkward moment of the year in GIF! http://t.co/CdE5zBW0PA"
At least Andrews had a reason for being there. What was no-talent ghetto scumbag 50 Cent doing at a NASCAR event in the first place?
@awfulannouncing @bubbaprog 50 Cent, trying to live Brent Musberger's dream, apparently.
@Chuck_Tonini @awfulannouncing @bubbaprog He definitely was not smooth but instead WAS on something. Had that 'just drank some gin' look.
@Nmarchetta @awfulannouncing You have to credit her for the recognize and turn away defense #pitrowawareness
Was fantastic! "@awfulannouncing: Moving pictures of Erin Andrews stonewalling 50 Cent! http://t.co/u8Vj8hqcnd (via @bubbaprog)"
@sdutPosner @JoeFortenbaugh Quick first step , great anticipation and ability to recognize play... scouting report on @ErinAndrews
This is amazing. "@awfulannouncing: Moving pictures of Erin Andrews stonewalling 50 Cent! http://t.co/l7YNzgNVOw (via @bubbaprog)"
That was the most useless segment I've seen in a long time. Wow, lots of people on the grid. Who knew...?
Fifty going in for huge kiss and stalking her was actually hilarious. Trolling Erin, why not.
"@awfulannouncing: Moving pictures of Erin Andrews stonewalling 50 Cent! http://t.co/9mtH6geurZ (via @bubbaprog)"
She's really awful. No journalistic skills whatsoever, and a voice like a circular saw.
No "Candy Shop" for Erin? "@awfulannouncing: Moving pictures of Erin Andrews stonewalling 50 Cent! http://t.co/UoMDpv0og8 (via @bubbaprog)"
Exactly. "@awfulannouncing: Moving pictures of Erin Andrews stonewalling 50 Cent! http://t.co/qtKXuWivfT (via @bubbaprog)"

A similar reform was affirmed in Italy when the Court of Cassation [official website, in Italian] ruled [JURIST report] in June that couples seeking a child to adopt based on race or ethnicity should be not even allowed to apply for adoption. It held that such practice was against the Italian Constitution. The issue of who could adopt was a recent issue in the UK. The UK Charity Commission [official website] ruled in August [JURIST report] that Catholic social services agency Catholic Care [advocacy website] could not discriminate against gay couples seeking to adopt. This holding reversed a prior decision by the UK High Court in March which permitted [JURIST report] the agency to refuse considering same-sex couples as candidates for adoption.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant [text, PDF] against Kony in 2005 on 33 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity including murder, sexual enslavement, rape and abduction. In 2009, ICC stated that it is still seeking to arrest [JURIST report] Kony. He pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] to the allegations against him. Despite ICC's calling for global cooperation [JURIST report] after issuing the warrant to arrest Kony, he has remained at large.
In August, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [official website] reinstated [JURIST report] a lawsuit filed by an African-American firefighter claiming the firefighter promotion exams used in the city of New Haven, Connecticut, are discriminatory. In 2003, the New Haven Civil Service Board (CSB) had refused to certify the results of the exam that made disproportionately more white applicants than minority applicants eligible for promotion. Applicants who qualified for promotions based on their test scores but were denied promotions filed a lawsuit against the city claiming disparate impact.
After inititally granting clemency in January, Barbour made a statement justifying his actions [press release], including an explanation for the pardons of convicted murderers who had worked as trusties at the Governor's mansion. In 2008, President George W. Bush made several controversial pardons [JURIST report] before his time as President ended. In September of last year, the state of Georgia executed Troy Anthony Davis [advocacy website; JURIST news archive] after his eleventh-hour appeal for clemency was denied [JURIST report] by the US Supreme Court.

SPindent (Server Page Indenter) is a JSP/PHP structural validator and indenter. It performs structural compatibility check of inner HTML generated from "parallel" branches of process flow statements such as if/else. It allows for those HTML branches to have different entry and exit HTML stack points, as far as the branches are compatible. This allows for verification and proper indentation of handy workarounds, as well as rusty pyramids. It is based on MixedCC (Mixed Compiler Compiler).
Webcockpit is a Web application generator for reporting and monitoring applications. It generates complete JSP-based Web applications which contain charts and tables whose contents are retrieved using database queries. The charts and tables can be configured to link to each other, enabling master detail-like drill-down. You can provide your own HTML or JSP template files which are mixed with the generated JSP to provide a final Web application.
AjaxAC is a PHP framework which can be used to develop, create, and generate AJAX applications. The fundamental idea behind AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is to use the XMLHttpRequest object to change a Web page state using background HTTP sub-requests without reloading the entire page.
RAJAX is an approach to remove the repetitive code that coders need to add for simple AJAX applications. AJAX code is generated from POJOs with annotations (and with no configuration files). A simple MVC framework is available totally based on the client side using XSLT to transform either XML or JavaScript objects.

Howards End (Vintage International)by E M Forster
Upcoming EventWednesday, March 26, 2014 07:00 PM Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing, Beaverton, OR This month we meet to discuss Howards End by E. M. Forster. Join us! See our full selection of signed editions from authors coming to Powell's Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"Only Connect," Forster's key aphorism, informs this novel about an English country house, Howards End, and its influence on the lives of the wealthy and materialistic Wilcoxes; the cultured, idealistic Schlegel sisters; and the poor bank clerk Leonard Bast. Bringing together people from different classes and nations by way of sympathetic insight and understanding, Howards End eloquently addresses the question "Who shall inherit England?" (Lionel Trilling).
About the AuthorEdward Morgan Forster was born January 1, 1879 in London and was raised from infancy by his mother and paternal aunts after his father's death. Forsters boyhood experiences at the Tonbridge School, Kent were an unpleasant contrast to the happiness he found at home, and his suffering left him with an abiding dislike of the English public school system. At Kings College, Cambridge, however he was able to pursue freely his varied interests in philosophy, literature and Mediterranean civilization, and he soon determined to devote his life to writing.
His first two novels, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905) and The Longest Journey (1907), were both poorly received, and it was not until the publication of Howards End, in 1910, that Forster achieved his first major success as a novelist, with the work many considered his finest creation. Forster first visited India during 1912 and 1913, and after three years as a noncombatant in Alexandria, Egypt, during World War I and several years in England, he returned for an extended visit in 1921. From those experiences came his most celebrated novel, A Passage to India, his darkest and most probing work and perhaps the best novel about India written by a foreigner. As a man of letters , Forster was honored during and after World War II for his resistance to any and all forms of tyranny and totalitarianism, and Kings College awarded him a permanent fellowship in 1949. Forster spent his later years at Cambridge writing and teaching, and died at Coventry, England, on June 7, 1970. His novel, Maurice, written several decades earlier, was published posthumously in 1971. From the Paperback edition.

They aren't immortalized in rhyme, like the Grinch. Their names aren't synonymous with misanthropy, like Scrooge. But every holiday season, untold numbers of these spirit-sapping characters appear in our midst.
They are the Hard to Buy For, and like the devil himself, they assume many forms: the hobby-less brother-in-law; the enthusiast so serious about her leisure-time pursuits that an outsider could never get a gift right; the dad who overnights himself whatever he wants; the teenager with unknowable preferences; the mom who insists she needs nothing; the baby with fussy parents.
Americans are planning to spend $586.1 billion this holiday season, up 4.1 percent from last year, according to the National Retail Federation. What those statistics don't show is the amount spent on gifts that present a challenge so frustrating, or that become such a time drain, that the gifter starts to develop a small irritation, or a full-blown hostility, toward the giftee.
The stress of satisfying the Hard to Buy For is probably worse than ever this year, as a combination of factors — the still-lousy economy, the growing recognition that all this extra stuff we buy harms the earth, and the fact that it doesn't leave us happier — makes wasteful spending feel worse than ever.
And yet, the gifts must go on.
In Brookline, Lindsay Durr's boyfriend is going on his fifth year of angst. "I've learned over the years that it cannot be something practical," said the long-suffering, long-shopping beau, Brendan Dougherty, 27, an accountant. "That means it has to be a luxury item, and since it's a luxury item, there's often an element of style that's involved."
Here's where things go downhill: "She has a very unique style," Dougherty said of his beloved Durr, a publicist. "I feel it walks a fine line between very eclectic and out there, and being kind of ugly. It's tough to tell whether something would fit into her style of not."
After one too many failures — starting with a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag that was too similar to one she already owned — Dougherty has switched tactics. One year he took refuge in the "experience" gift and the couple went to Ogunquit, Maine. Sometimes he goes the "just being together is gift enough" route, a sentiment that Durr, 26, calls lovely. "But," she added, "sometimes you just really want a handbag."
Pam Boyden, 45, a financial analyst from Charlestown, also finds the best defense is a good offense. "You get what you get," is how she summed up her attitude toward the Hard to Buy For. And if you don't like it, she added — addressing an imaginary ingrate, as she shopped at Marshalls, in Fenway — "you can go back to the store and stand in line and return it."
Never mind that the world's bounty is a mere credit card swipe away, anyone with a member of the HTBF on his or her list has experienced the helplessness that sets in before the shopping even starts. "It's stressful," said Kim Quinn, a nurse practitioner with a mother who's Hard to Buy For. "You have to give a gift — it's taboo not to. But you don't want to waste your money on something they don't need or want."
With shopping stress escalating, the Globe asked Kit Yarrow, a consumer psychologist from Golden Gate University, in San Francisco, to profile these most-dreaded recipients.
"Pretty much all men," she began. "They want really big things. They don't want a little hinky iPod. They want a sports car, or some major electronics."
Enthusiasts — generally male, she noted — also present a challenge. "I just finished interviewing 42 people on bad gifts they'd gotten," Yarrow said. "One guy said his mom gets him Boston Red Sox trinkets that are cheap and tacky. A golfer was aghast that someone was trying to buy him golf equipment. Or we know they love fishing, but buying them anything is a recipe for failure. So we hate them for that."
Hmm. Maybe neither giving nor receiving is good.
The third group, Yarrow said, may be even tougher to satisfy than the enthusiasts. "They are so exacting and knowledgeable that they tend to be extremely particular. The idea that you'd pick something out for them puts fear into your heart."
Not to make excuses for the Hard to Buy For, but there's a reason people are so picky. We already have too much stuff. In fact, recent research by UCLA-affiliated social scientists found that Americans' plethora of possessions is making families feel overwhelmed by clutter.
By late 2008, the average American was consuming three times as much as the average person did in 1960, according to Juliet Schor, a Boston College sociology professor, and author of "Plentitude: The New Economics of True Wealth," among many other books. Continued...

Gilbert Arenas Packs His Sneaker Collection For China
October 31st, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 15 comments
Have you ever had to make a massive move and whittle down your sneaker collection to a fraction of what it once was? We're pretty sure that he didn't do away with the rest of his collection, but it looks like Gilbert Arenas had to go through that sort of agonizing packing for his recent move out to China. Pictured here is Agent Zero posing with some of the heat he brought along with them, including the Nike Air Yeezy 2, Nike Air Penny V, and a huge helping of assorted Air Jordan retro heat. Hit the jump for the full photo and let us know if you approve of Gilbert Arenas' sneaker rotation for his stay in China.

Gil's got money, he's just playing for the love of the game at this point. Injuries robbed him of a great career like so many of my faves (Penny, T-Mac, etc.). Good luck overseas Gil. And who know, if you win a championship you get get a statue made of bronze in your likeness like Starbury
I'm worried about moving my collection 1,000 miles. But this makes that sound like a Sunday drive! I would of packed every single pair in my checked luggage lol.
@damruff @heat_meiser that is a good point, I just meant in terms of color and J variety -- I dig.

Hi. I have a ford fiesta zetec s year 2000, when I got the car I had 2 keys, one key that would open the car but wouldnt start the car and one key that would open and start the car. I recently lost the key that started the car and now I'm left with the key that won't start the car. This key will open the doors and it will turn fully in the ignition, it starts the radio and it allows all the electrics on the car to work but when I turn it all the way over nothing happens, I was wondering if this could be a coding problem, any ideas?
sounds like the codings either not been done on one key or it lost it somehow ( it happens!)

Product Description
The Walther P22 is a user-friendly adaptation of the larger P99 with the same look and feel, but three quarters of the size of its big brother. Unleashing the first round or .22 LR ammunition is easy with only about 12 pounds of pressure required to activate the double action and emptying the magazine is even easier with single action requiring just under 5 pounds of pressure. Decocking the Walther P22 after activating single action mode can be done by turning on the ambidextrous, slide-mounted safety with your thumb, preventing the hammer from firing the round when the trigger is pulled to release the hammer. Magazine ejection is triggered by an ambidextrous lever located behind and below the trigger. This P22 variant has a unique lime green, carbon-fiber-dipped finish. |

The uninvited visitor to her Key Largo yard showed little concern over being discovered, said Lauren Norman.
"He was only a couple feet away and he just looked at me," Norman recounted.
The trespasser -- a carnivorous reptile called a tegu lizard -- joins the list of unwelcome invasive species confirmed to be at large in the Florida Keys.
Tegus have become a concern not only in South Florida but in the Tampa area, with sightings as far north as the Panhandle.
One species of the lizard, native to South America, carries the ominous name of giant Argentine tegu.
A popular pet among reptile fanciers, biologists suspect the black-and-white tegu seen on Key Largo's Ocean Shores Drive, off mile marker 99, may have escaped from a local collector.
Tegu colonies have been established in southern Miami-Dade County and portions of the Everglades, but last Thursday's encounter with the reptile may be the first in the Florida Keys.
"I had no idea what kind of lizard it was," Norman said. "It looked like a really dark, really large iguana."
Norman went upstairs to get a camera and returned to find the 2-foot creature "still sitting there," she said. As she approached for a photo, the tegu wandered away but left "moving very slowly."
Norman called her husband, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer, for advice. "He said don't let the puppy go outside."
Tegus, unlike the vegetarian iguana, will dine on small animals in addition to plants. They also will eat unattended pet food left outside.
"They eat anything from insects to rodents and eggs, so they are a threat to our native species," FWC spokeswoman Carli Segelson said. "They don't belong here. Our native wildlife is not equipped to deal with them."
Matt Palazzolo of Key Largo stopped his car when he spotted the "nasty looking" tegu on Ocean Shores Drive.
When Palazzolo went for a photo, the reptile "kind of raised up a little bit." "It bummed me out," Palazzolo said. "I love the Keys and I hate to see this stuff crawling in here. I hope they catch it."
Tegus are active during the daylight hours. As weather cools in late October, they often dig themselves underground for a three-month period of dormancy, called a "brumation."
Tegus can endure winter temperatures far colder than usually seen in the Keys.
Wildlife experts caution against trying to grab a tegu.
"While a tegu is not likely to be innately aggressive, it will defend itself if aggravated or threatened," says a state report. "Tegus have sharp teeth, strong jaws, and sharp claws which they will use to defend themselves."
Tegus are easier to catch in traps than invasive pythons, Segelson noted.
Sightings can be reported over the phone to the FWC exotic-species hotline, (888) 483-4681, or online at www.IveGot1.org.

I don't understand how a "best characteristic" (in this instance Kentucky) can include a team from the year prior or next years team? Hey Kentucky, the best characteristic of your team this year is. . . wait for it. . . not your team! Excellent idea. Another winner? "Hitting on all cylinders" Michigan. Am I to assume that these other teams greatest strengths/characteristics do not include "[h]itting on all cylinders"? Isn't that the crux of the problem you are trying to imagine being fixed through this wacky bracket? Hence the terrible road teams that you give, "Home" ______ designations to. This is truly a terrible idea for a column.
Side note: Fix the capitalization errors in your "wacky" team names.

What-ifs are a huge part of what makes the NCAA tournament selection process so intriguing.

There was a lot of buzz about B&O American Brasserie before it opened. First, the restaurant was going to be located in swank, refurbished digs once housing the regal B&O railroad headquarters. The chef, E. Michael Reidt, had an impressive pedigree as a Culinary Institute of America grad and one of Food & Wine magazine's "Best New Chefs." And it was going to be next to the new posh Kimpton's Hotel Monaco.
Those are a lot of expectations to fulfill. And for the most part, the restaurant lives up to the hype. The first-floor bar is stunning, with stylish wood furniture and glistening accoutrements. It's already quite the gathering place.
Diners interested in a more intimate experience can head upstairs to the sophisticated dining room with its hushed ambiance and romantic lighting. There are plush black banquettes and seats with oversized wing-chair backs and velvet cushions to create an air of opulence.
The room is set up to afford a certain amount of privacy. But although the bare-wood tables are nicely spaced apart, your neighbors will be in view—which wasn't a good thing on the night we visited. We ended up facing a groping couple, who acted as if they needed a room more than a meal!
But the public display of "affection" (yuck!) didn't deter us from enjoying a meal that may not have been the most adventurous food we've ever had, but certainly showed a kitchen paying attention to creative flavors and seasonal, local foods.
Shrimp cocktail may seem old school, but, here, the five giant shrimp were perched on a bowl holding crisp, fresh slaw and rimmed with cilantro salt. (The chef also used an herb salt with basil to enhance the whipped butter served with a crusty baguette—looking European and jaunty in a paper jacket.) Fresh horseradish and Anaheim chile peppers added a nice zing to the accompanying cocktail sauce.
We also started our meal with cornmeal-crusted oysters, which, while small, got a refreshing boost from diced watermelon. The grilled romaine salad with tangy buttermilk dressing and slivers of Parmesan had all the right smokiness, garlicky flavor, and crunch.
The entrees were artistically arranged. There are three types of steak frites, featuring coulotte, petite filet, and rib-eye cuts. We chose the strip of coulotte (like a hanger steak, our waiter said) and relished its juicy medium rareness. The duck-fat fries in a mesh basket were quite addictive, too.
We don't usually order chicken—we cook with it at home so much. But Murray's farms' free-range chicken was a fat and flavorful half of a bird that was wonderfully appealing, especially over pesto mashed potatoes and baby rounds of summer squash.
We were attracted to the Chesapeake rockfish because it's so Maryland. Unfortunately, on a Tuesday evening, they were out of it and substituted barramundi. We decided to give the dish a try anyway.
The barramundi—caught in Massachusetts, our waiter said—was moist and sweet. It has a denser texture than rockfish but was a suitable replacement. The fish worked well with the smoked-shrimp-and-pea risotto that was tucked in the bowl.
The one item missing from the dishes is a distinctive vegetable. If we had realized that, we probably would have ordered one of the sides, like the garlicky spinach or the cumin-dusted heirloom carrots.
Our waiter, Joe, was covering several tables (including the lusty couple), but he was attentive and knowledgeable about the offerings. He had great fun explaining how the "wicked pissa" cupcake got its name. Chef Reidt is from Boston, he said, and used the regional term that essentially means "really awesome" to describe the two mini chocolate cupcakes with whipped cream and candied peanuts. Desserts are house-made and are more down-home, in a good way, than fancy schmancy.
Our favorite was the rustic apple tart with a delicate crust that came steaming hot in a skillet alongside honey ice cream. The warm cinnamon brioche bread pudding—a generous, thick square with a small dish of chocolate-and-black-pepper ice cream—was fine, too.
There is $5 valet service if you don't want to search for parking in the busy downtown area. We indulged in this nicety again when we returned for lunch—this time sitting in the bar area (thankfully minus the make-out duo). We were impressed that the brasserie was doing a booming noontime trade. The $14 power lunch may be the appeal: a choice of a chicken pesto or burger with duck-fat fries or salad plus just-baked chocolate chip cookies to go.
We weren't in a hurry, so we chose the a la carte route, which gave us an opportunity to try one of the kitchen's flatbreads (aka thin-crust pizzas). The BBQ pork-caramelized onion version was a tantalizing mix of sweet and sour with nice chunks of tender pork, tangy barbecue sauce, onions sweated to a sugary goodness, and silver-dollar dollops of mozzarella cheese. The crisp, foot-long flatbread easily serves two.
We also shared mussel frites, which were simply blissful. Plump, melt-in-your-mouth bivalves were drizzled with a lemon-parsley crème fraiche—a delightful accent for the seafood. And, of course, they came with those salty, wonderful fries that are paired with many dishes here.
We also appreciated the nice-sized cheeseburger, cooked the designated medium rare and housed in a sturdy brioche—though we were dismayed that it just came with lettuce and tomato.
The B&O American Brasserie seems poised to deliver well-thought out meals for locals and travelers alike in this stunningly beautiful dining space. As the chef tweaks the menu offerings for the seasons, we're looking forward to his interpretations throughout the year.

Asthma Health Disparities: NIEHS Grantees Featured in National News Story
There is a growing body of research that examines the connection between a person's health and where he/she lives. Some researchers have been focusing on the prevalence and hospitalization rates of children with asthma and how they can vary from one neighborhood to the next. A recent Dateline NBC special, "Mold, mice and zip codes: Inside the childhood asthma epidemic,"(http://inplainsight.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/03/22149240-mold-mice-and-zip-codes-inside-the-childhood-asthma-epidemic?lite) draws attention to the disproportionally high rate of asthma among children living in low-income, urban neighborhoods. The special and an NBC News article about the connection between poverty and asthma feature three NIEHS-funded researchers who examine the environmental contributions to health disparities and consider ways to prevent and reduce environmental triggers of asthma.
Elizabeth Matsui, M.D., a member of the NIEHS and EPA Children's Environmental Health Center at Johns Hopkins University,(http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/supported/dert/programs/prevention/grantees/hopkins/) discussed asthma triggers in the home. In the article, she identified leaky roofs and plumbing, mold and mildew, and mouse and cockroach allergens as common asthma triggers, many of which occur simultaneously in homes in low-income neighborhoods. According to Dr. Matsui, at least 95% of homes in one of the poorest areas in Baltimore have mouse allergens. Although cockroach allergens are a known trigger of asthma symptoms, Dr. Matsui has recently found that in Baltimore, mouse allergen exposure seems to be a more important trigger for asthma symptoms and exacerbations than cockroach allergen exposure. "The importance of controlling indoor exposures as a part of asthma management cannot be overemphasized," she said, "even though we know that home environmental interventions are effective and that their cost is similar to asthma medication, we have few systems in place to provide the resources needed to reduce indoor allergen and pollutant exposures."
Matthew Perzanowski, Ph.D., a member of the NIEHS and EPA Children's Environmental Health Center at Columbia University,(https://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/supported/dert/programs/prevention/grantees/columbia/) traveled to low-income neighborhoods in New York City with the Dateline host to explain why asthma is so prevalent in these communities. As a truck rolls by, Perzanowski explains(http://www.nbcnews.com/id/3032600/#53966583) that truck routes often pass through poorer neighborhoods, exposing residents to high levels of diesel exhaust, which can trigger or worsen asthma attacks. Furthermore, vehicle exhaust can readily penetrate people's homes. Perzanowski has found that children living in neighborhoods with higher asthma prevalence have higher levels of air pollution in their homes compared to children living in nearby neighborhoods with lower asthma prevalence. This association was driven by the density of truck routes and buildings burning residual fuel oil in their boilers. Additionally, Perzanowski and colleagues have demonstrated that early life exposure to these combustion-related byproducts increased the likelihood of developing an allergy to cockroaches, which is also an exposure that is more common in high asthma prevalence neighborhoods. "With asthma prevalence among 5 year olds ranging from 3 to 19% among neighborhoods in one city, it is critical to understand what environmental exposures drive these vast disparities in risk for asthma," said Dr. Perzanowski, "the combination of diesel associated combustion byproducts and allergens from pests appear to be important."
Tyra Bryant-Stephens, M.D., from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, discussed environmental justice issues surrounding access to physicians in low-income, urban neighborhoods. "Providing optimal asthma care through appropriate medical treatment and elimination of asthma environmental triggers reduces the disparities between the children in these affected communities," said Dr. Bryant-Stephens. In the article, she explained that it can be difficult for parents living in low-income neighborhoods to get their children to the doctor, which can lead to poorly managed asthma and more hospitalizations and trips to the ER for asthma-related problems.
The special, which originally aired on January 5, 2014, is broken up into 6 parts. The 10-minute segments could serve as great resources to increase awareness about the link between asthma and the environment, what to do about asthma triggers in the home, and promote discussions about environmental contributions to health disparities. You can access the videos and the article summarizing the special on the NBC News(http://inplainsight.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/03/22149240-mold-mice-and-zip-codes-inside-the-childhood-asthma-epidemic?lite) Web page.
Safe Practices for Digging into Dirty Garden Soil
City dwellers are turning to urban gardening as a way to gain access to affordable and healthy produce, but urban soils can also expose gardeners to metals and other contaminants. A recent article in Environmental Health Perspectives, "Urban Gardening: Managing the Risks of Contaminated Soil,"(http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/121-a326/) features Wendy Heiger-Bernays, Ph.D., the leader of an ongoing urban gardening project from the Boston University School of Public Health. Project results have shown there are elevated levels of lead, arsenic, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil samples collected from Boston community and backyard gardens, particularly in gardens adjacent to homes built before 1978. To help gardeners reduce their exposure, Heiger-Bernays and a team from the Boston University Superfund Research Program's Research Translation Core developed a series of safe practices urban gardeners can follow. "The benefits of growing and eating locally grown food are numerous and with awareness of soil conditions and inexpensive interventions, we can decrease the risks associated with exposure to common soil contaminants," said Heiger-Bernays. The safe growing practices include researching property history to understand the prior use of the soil, testing soil for contaminants if desired, or simply gardening in raised beds in which tested soil has been added. Other tips include using lead-tested compost to remediate moderately contaminated soil and teaching gardeners to always wash hands after gardening and to peel and wash produce before eating.

Educational Modules Help Pediatricians Connect Children's Health and Environment
Getting people to understand the link between their environment and health can be a challenge, especially at the doctor's office. The Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC) (http://eh.uc.edu/ceg/coec/) at the University of Cincinnati Center for Environmental Genetics (CEG) (http://www.eh.uc.edu/ceg/) offers online Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) courses to help bridge the gap between pediatricians and nurses and environmental health issues. "Health care providers need to know about environmental triggers to disease and providing this information through CME/CNE is one viable option," said CEG COEC Director, Erin Haynes, Dr.P.H. (http://www.eh.uc.edu/dir_individual_details.asp?qcontactid=687) The "Pediatric Environmental Health" (http://eh.uc.edu/ceg/coec/community_modules.html) module discusses concepts of pediatric environmental health and describes health effects, like atopic diseases, associated with common environmental exposures. A second module, "Environmental Management of Pediatric Asthma,"(http://eh.uc.edu/ceg/coec/community_modules.html) provides a scientific overview of various environmental triggers of asthma in children and intervention strategies families can use to control environmental exposures at home. Teaching physicians and nurses how to ask environmental health history questions, such as "Where does your child spend his/her time?" or "What do the adults in the household do for a living?", often leads to answers that make a significant difference in the life of a child, said module author Nicholas Newman, D.O., M.S. (http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/bio/N/nicholas-newman/)
The CEG COEC leveraged funds from NIEHS and the National Environmental Education Foundation (http://www.neefusa.org/) to develop and disseminate the modules, which are located on the CEG COEC's Educational Materials Web page. (http://eh.uc.edu/ceg/coec/community_modules.html)
The PEPH Evaluation Metrics Manual (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/supported/dert/programs/peph/metrics/index.cfm) provides examples of tangible metrics that PEPH grantees and program staff can use for both planning and evaluation. Example logic models are used as a means to develop evaluation metrics for cross-cutting PEPH themes such as Partnerships, Leveraging, Products and Dissemination, Education and Training and Capacity Building. PEPH grantees (including all project partners) are the primary target audience for this document.

Children's Centers Researchers Featured in NPR story
In a recent NPR story, (http://kvpr.org/post/central-valleys-air-pollution-affecting-our-cells-and-genes) NIEHS-grantees explained their work on the Children's Health and Air Pollution Study - San Joaquin Valley (CHAPS) and what they've found about air pollution exposure and children's health in central California. Kari Nadeau, M.D., Ph.D., Katharine Hammond, Ph.D., and John Balmes, M.D., were interviewed for the story, which gives an overview of their past and current research into whether T-regulatory cells and exposure to the air pollutant PAH play a role in children's risk of allergic disorders, diabetes, and obesity. Their research is being funded through a grant from the EPA-NIEHS Children's Environmental Health Centers program.
Gene-Environment Interaction Contributes to Autism Risk
Exposure to air pollution may increase the risk for autism among people with a specific genetic risk factor, according to a new study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24240654) funded by NIEHS. Published online in the journal Epidemiology, the study is the first to show a specific interaction between a well-established genetic risk factor and an environmental factor that independently contribute to autism risk. The study is highlighted in two articles in the January 2014 issue of Environmental Factor: one (https://www.niehs.nih.gov/news/newsletter/2014/1/spotlight-ASDgene-airpollution/) features lead study author Heather Volk, Ph.D., and the second (https://www.niehs.nih.gov/news/newsletter/2014/1/spotlight-ASDrecentautism/) features Cindy Lawler, Ph.D., chief of the NIEHS Genes, Environment, and Health Branch.
Collecting Health Data for Native Hawaiians / Pacific Islanders
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have launched a new project aimed at improving health data collection for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. While there is a lack of reliable health data for this population, the data available indicate this group experiences significant health disparities. Data collection begins February 2014, and findings will be available in the summer of 2015.

PEPH Environmental Health Chat Podcast on the Exposome
The "exposome" represents all of the things we're exposed to throughout life, taken together. Some scientists believe studying the exposome could help answer some big questions about what keeps us healthy — and what makes us sick. In a new podcast titled "The Exposome," (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/supported/dert/programs/peph/podcasts/exposome/) NIEHS talks to Emory University's Gary Miller, Ph.D., and Yomi Noibi, Ph.D., of the non-profit ECO-Action about what the exposome might mean for science and public health.
Stay tuned for our upcoming podcasts! Future topics include citizen science in environmental health and arsenic exposure through food.

Got in a little trouble at the county seat
Lord they put me in the jailhouse for loafing on the street
When the judge heard the verdict I was a guilty man
He said forty five dollars or thirty days in the can
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son you can make your choice you're twenty one
No money down no credit plan no time to chase you cause I'm a busy man
Found a telephone number on a laundry slip
I had a good hearted jailer with a six gun hip
He let me call long distance she said number please
And no sooner than I told her she shouted out at me
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son not parting cash but the entire sum
No money down no credit plan cause a little bird tells me you're a travelling man
Thirty days in the jailhouse four days on the road
I was feeling mighty hungry my feet a heavy load
Saw a greyhound coming stuck up my thumb
Just as I was being seated the driver caught my arm
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son this old grey dog is paid to run
When the engine stops and the wheels won't roll
Give me cash on the barrelhead I'll take you down the road

Sales Consultant Recommendation
On Sep 16, 2013 by Jackie Bowen (Staff Lighting Consultant) View Profile
I like the square shape of this trim - it's a big plus! Square is so in right now because it has never been done before. It really matches the straight, clean lines of so many plumbing fixtures and cabinetry these days. You also have your choice of 13 different finish options, including (but not limited to) matte white to match your ceiling; chrome or brushed nickel to match your faucets, shower heads, etc.; and even bronze. It is only 3.5 inch wide, so it is less obtrusive on your ceiling and fits the new sleek look of everything being so compact.

Asoka is getting small with its home networking lineup. Don't worry; the company isn't eliminating any of its products. Instead, they are adding the PlugLink HD AV and PlugLink-ETH-500, which they claim to be the industry's smallest, lowest power powerline communications (PLC) home networking adapters available.
Because these products use PLC technology, homeowners don't need any type of special wiring in the home. Instead, you just plug them into any ordinary wall outlet. It's almost as simple as a wireless network, except you can have reception wherever you want it—even in those spots where your wireless network doesn't reach.
Measuring 76-by-54-by-27mm and drawing 1.3 watts of power, the PlugLink HD AV adapter boasts a 200 Mbps network and has one Ethernet port. Designed for IPTV, on-demand video, online gaming, multimedia downloading, VOIP telephony or Internet streaming, the PlugLink HD AV adapter is available now for $60.
The PlugLink-ETH-500 is 76-by-54-by-27mm and draws 2.2 watts of power. That promises 500 Mbps with two Ethernet ports, so you can connect a game console, an HDTV or any other networked AV essentials. The PlugLink-ETH-500 is also out now, for $75.
"These new PlugLink adapters give customers a convenient, easy-to-use home networking solution that is truly plug and play and up in running in minutes," said Danny Castellano, Asoka's vice president of marketing. "The smaller form factor has allowed us to reduce the cost of the device as well as the power consumption and we¹re excited to share this new design with our customers."
Both PlugLink adapters have 128-bit AES encryption and are certified by UL, FCC, CE, RoHS, and CoC. All Asoka devices also support industry standards, such as IEEE 1901, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3x IEEE 802.3u and HomePlug AV.

who soon became one of the busiest character actors in the business.
Actor. Born Joseph Pesci on February 9, 1943 in Newark, New Jersey. Pesci began his acting career at the age of four on a radio program. By 1953, he was a regular on the television variety program Star Time Kids. In the mid-'60s, he launched a musical career under the name Joe Ritchie, recording an LP titled Little Joe Sure Can Sing, and later played guitar in the pop band Joey Dee & the Starliters. But with the exception of the little-seen 1975 film The Death Collector, the actor was unable to get his career off the ground. He decided to drop out of acting and returned to New York to run a restaurant.
However, after Robert De Niro saw Pesci's performance in The Death Collector, he was so impressed that he brought the film to the attention of director Martin Scorsese, who cast Joe Pesci in his 1980 masterpiece Raging Bull. This was the beginning of a long line of supporting roles for Pesci, whose performance as a menacing tough guy earned him an Academy Award nomination. He soon became one of the busiest character actors in the business, appearing the 1983 Rodney Dangerfield comedy Easy Money and the 1984 Sergio Leone epic Once Upon a Time in America. After starring in the failed 1985 sitcom Half Nelson, Pesci's onscreen visibility diminished, and over the next four years he appeared in only one film, 1987's Man on Fire.
In 1989, however, he co-starred opposite Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in the hit Lethal Weapon 2, a performance that showcased his talent for comic relief. He appeared in both the third and fourth episodes of the series in 1992 and 1998. 1990 was a banner year for Pesci, who starred in the family comedy blockbuster Home Alone and put forth a Oscar-winning performance in Scorsese's GoodFellas.
Though he received poor reviews for his first major starring role in 1991's The Super, he returned to good favor in Oliver Stone's JFK that same year. He put his comic talents to use once again in 1992 as the inept non-lawyer in the hit courtroom comedy My Cousin Vinny. In 1995, he reunited with Scorsese and De Niro for the epic Casino. However, a pair of poorly received 1997 comedies, Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag and Gone Fishin', again called Pesci's capabilities as a lead actor into question.
Joe Pesci is divorced from his first wife, Marti. They have one daughter named Tiffany.

Fred Bedford
March 9, 1923 - February 29, 2012
Fred Bedford was called home February 29, 2012, after nearly 89 years of life on earth. He was born on March 9, 1923, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Edgar and Gladys Bedford. The second oldest of four, he graduated from West High School in 1941. He then attended Ripon College for the next three years, until called to duty by the Army Air Force (AAF) in the summer of 1944. In the AAF he became a second Lieutenant Flight Control Officer specializing in meteorology. His assignment was to help planes take off and land in less-than-ideal weather.
Once discharged in the summer of 1946, Fred resumed his studies – this time at University of Minnesota earning a Bachelor's degree in 1948 and then a Medical degree in 1956. Fred started his medical practice as a general practitioner in Rangley and Norwood CO, and Minneapolis, MN, then went back for training in anesthesiology in Milwaukee, WI. On becoming an anesthesiologist, he practiced at Emanuel Hospital for 10 years, then at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center in Roswell, NM, for 9 more.
Fred was married to Nancy Ann Glezen for 59 years, until she died last year. He is also preceded in death by two sisters, Lois and June, and survived by his third sister, Janet. He is also survived by his three children, Stephen, Andrew, and Jennifer; and nine grandchildren, Stephen, Jack, Harrison, Savannah, Anne, Katherine, Sarah, James and Alexander.
Fred Bedford exemplified all the qualities of the Greatest Generation and WWII veterans. He was very dedicated to serving his country, his family, the Methodist church and helping others. Fred went on several mission trips including Mercy Ships, Honduras, and Oaxaca, Mexico, and he helped make parts for Personal Energy Transportation (PET) bicycles for amputees. He was on the board of the local Habitat for Humanity in Sequim. Fred's one enduring hobby was his love of sailing; begun as a boy on the lakes in Minnesota and continuing through his retirement.
All of us loved Fred and will miss him very much.
A memorial service will be held for Fred Bedford on March 17th at 1:00pm at Trinity United Methodist Church in Sequim. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Fred's name to Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave, Sequim, WA, 98382.

The Master Builder
Leon Battista Alberti
Leon Battista Alberti was not a modest man. The piece of writing referred to by scholars as the Anonymous Biography, because it is written in the third person, is an obvious self-portrait. "In all by which praise was won," he writes,
Leon Battista was, from his childhood, the first. Of his various gymnastic feats and exercises we read with astonishment how, with his feet together, he could spring over a man's head; how, in the cathedral, he threw a coin in the air till it was heard to ring against the distant roof; how the wildest horses trembled under him. In three things he desired to appear faultless to others, in walking, in riding and in speaking. And all the while he acquired every sort of accomplishment and dexterity, cross-examining artists, scholars and artisans of all descriptions, down to the cobblers, about the secrets of their craft…. That which others created he welcomed joyfully, and held every human achievement which followed the laws of beauty for something almost divine…. At the sight of noble trees and waving fields of corn he shed tears: handsome and dignified old men he honoured as "delights of nature" and could never look at them enough—and more than once, when he was ill, the sight of a beautiful landscape cured him.
It is as a result of this paragraph alone (quoted no doubt from Jacob Burckhardt's Civilization of the Renaissance) that Alberti has entered the general historical consciousness, and has even been made the hero of a leading article in Life magazine. But how many of those who have had their imaginations stirred by these passages have carried their researches any further? A few may have dipped into his book on architecture, fewer still may have read his writings on morals and social life, Della famiglia (1434), Della tranquillità dell'animo (1443), De Iciarchia (1470), which brought him most renown in his lifetime, but are now completely forgotten. The majority of those who remember him think of the magnificent profile on a bronze medallion and of a number of buildings, the Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini, the west fronts of S. Andrea in Mantua and S.ta Maria Novella in Florence, and the façade of the Rucellai Palace in Florence, which leave so strong an impression on the mind that we are persuaded to think of him as one of the two greatest architects of the fifteenth century. But until recently it has been difficult to support this impression by other examples or by concrete evidence. Books on Alberti's architecture have been repetitive and slight. It was a subject that fell apart in one's hands. I remember an eminent Italian art historian smiling discreetly when I said I was about to write one.
This has now been done by Franco Borsi, and nobody could call his book slight. In an age of heavy books it must be one of the heaviest, and the quantity of illustrations may occasionally strike us …
Accessible Alberti March 23, 1978

Susan, time management turns out to be easy when one has defined priorities in the most rewarding order. Often focusing more on less-rewarding tasks or tasks that have short-term implications results in bad time management.
Hi, Alan
That blog sounds super interesting. I will check it. Thanks for letting me know.
True about WiFi. I have recentöy been checking out some places, and got discouranged when reading a review saying the WiFi didn't work for the person writing this review, which he absolutely needed. He had to move somewhere else after for days.
WiFi has to work, if you have to work, indeed.
Rocio's Angry Birds WiFi is free to use without any signing in. It's a long term project. The connection was open a year ago already, covering the city center and all the tourist areas. The project includes widespreading the coverage to more areas in the city.
Having been chronologically denied digital native status, I am glad to have a name for my current condition. Teach in North Carolina and in love in Florida. Class preparation, test grading and such are done on the MacBook Pro (and now presented via an iPad). Along with the iPhone my physical location is transparent to administration and students alike. Kindle and iBook even make toting reference material a breeze. The drive between the Jacksonvilles is contemplation time. Eight hours of good music and thinking. The first drawback was the cost to duplicate my support equipment (Brother 2270 and Apple Router) at her house. The second is missing the free meal at the semi-annual faculty meeting. All in all, a great deal.
Kim - Upside, presumably, a digitally peaceful working atmosphere in your afternoon?
Absolutely! And I can get away to exercise at 4 pm with little chance of a crisis erupting in my absence.
Hi Susan,
I just wrote a blog for UBM's Future Cities Website about... digital nomads and what cities could conceivably do to encourage them. Nicole approved the idea in January, and Mitch's video sparked me to finally write it, so it's posted now.
WiFi is the lifesblood for digital nomads -- unless they are independently wealthy and don't have to work -- so I was wondering about Rovio's WiFi in Helsinki. Is the service widespread in the city and is it for a few months or for the long term?
Thanks, Kim. I will have good scones and tea instead of croissants and coffee. :)
I'm sure you'll have fun. London is almost as charming as Paris in the rain. Almost.
Lol, Kim. :D
I will packing my little umbrella, raincoat, and a little of every season, just in case. I hope it results as much fun as it sounds.
Your plan sounds like fun, Susan, even if London weather is completely unpredictable in April/May.
