Social stress is arguably the predominant form of stress encountered by mammals, and in humans this type of stress contributes to a variety of diseases and psychopathologies (e.g., heart disease, depression, anxiety disorders). Many animal models of human stress-related disorders use stressors such as intermittent foot shock, which offer the benefit of being highly controllable, but these laboratory stressors may bear little resemblance to the challenges that are naturally encountered by humans or non-humans. Animal models that use a social context closer to that which individuals might experience in their natural environment are essential to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying social behavior, in general, and experience-dependent behavioral plasticity (or change), in particular. The Huhman lab studies in Syrian hamsters a phenomenon called conditioned defeat, which is an ethologically relevant model of stress-induced behavioral plasticity wherein a single, brief exposure to a social stressor reliably induces profound and long-lasting changes in social behavior. An overarching goal in our lab is to identify the neural circuit mediating conditioned defeat. We have demonstrated, for example, that the amygdala is critical to the acquisition and expression of conditioned defeat in hamsters, but there is also evidence that other brain areas are involved in the production of this behavioral change. We are also working 1) to determine in what part(s) of this neural circuit the critical plasticity occurs to mediate conditioned defeat and 2) to describe the cellular and molecular changes that underlie social stress-induced changes in behavior. We maintain that studying models such as conditioned defeat will improve our understanding of stress-related psychopathologies in humans and will ultimately lead to the development of better treatment options for these disorders.

Princeton is now offering a second dose of the meningitis vaccine.
Thousands chose to get the vaccine as part of the university's effort to stop an outbreak.
It's important for people who got the first dose to get the second... Not doing so increases the risk of contracting meningitis.
The vaccine will be available tomorrow through Thursday at Princeton's Frist campus center.

REI Venturi 30 Pack

I've gone through 4 daypacks in 9 years, and this…
Design: Panel-Loading
Size: Medium
Number of Pockets: 6
Max. Load Carried: 10+
Height of Owner: 5'11"
Price Paid: $93
I've gone through 4 daypacks in 9 years, and this is the best one by far.
The size is just right, not big like a multi-day pack, not small like a race pack.
The "trampoline-mesh", raised separate from the back panel, provides the most effective ventilation I've experienced due to the free-flow air feature. Water-proof zippers ensure nothing gets wet in the rain, and compression straps ensure no movement of your load.
The hipbelt transfers most of the load to your hips and off of your shoulders, but the shoulder straps are so comfy and supportive that even if your shoulders need to take some weight, they'll still be comfy.
I'd love some internal organization pockets, and some lower compression straps would be nice, but that's just nit-picking.
Bottom-line, great pack for a killer price.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
The REI Venturi 30 pack offers comfort and ventilation on long, hot day hikes and summit scrambles. FreeFlow tensioned mesh back panel holds the pack body away from your back, allowing uninhibited breathability and eliminating common pressure points. Warm air and vapor easily escape as fresh air circulates between the pack and your back. Contoured hipbelt and shoulder straps feature monofilament vents and perforated foam padding for breathability. Panel-loading main compartment has plenty of room for those done-in-a-day trips. Large, easily accessible front zippered pocket and stretch stash pocket offer plenty of storage. Upper stash pocket has a welded, water-repellent zipper and stores small essentials such as keys and cash. Twin hipbelt zip pockets store those small essentials you want at your fingertips, such as your digital camera, lip balm and sunscreen. Minimalist twin tool loops and adjustable Speed Hook bungee lash straps let you secure trekking poles and ice axes. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and twin drink tube ports over either shoulder for on-the-go access (reservoir not included). The REI Venturi 30 pack features side compression straps that let you cinch down loads for jostle-free carrying. Special buy.

It cools great. Nice and quiet. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars; All of the controls do not illuminate in the dark, making this A/C hard to control at night, the remote, I don't even bother using it. You'd thing Sears, with all it's years of experience, would know better then doing this to an otherwise fine product.

We have had this for about 3 weeks and really like it. It is extremely quiet. Like the slim look and how it doesn't take up the entire window. Installation was easy too.

This is my second one of these units. I am very happy with both. The first is a few years old and still working great. They are very quiet when operating, I have one in my living room and the other in the bedroom. No bother when watching TV or sleeping. 6,000 BTU is on the low end these days but I find it performs better than the larger unit it replaced. It is also slim leaving more window area available and it's an attractive unit inside. Minor complaints: 1. Its very wide with the side panels, too wide for my ~25" window opening. I had to remove the slide outs completely and fill the small gap left over. 2. The panel, though nice looking, angles the display up so it cannot be seen from bed/couch, only when standing near it. 3. Remote is hard to use in the dark. 4. The fins are very easily damaged. I have a tool to fix them which works well (22 fins per inch), but it would be nice if they had some protection. Overall I am very happy with both units and would recommend them to anyone. Its so nice to have a quiet A/C that cools well and doesn't look like a monstrosity in the window.

Love the low profile. It lets in more light from window, and is quiet compared to my last one.

Great air conditioner. For the price I couldn't ask for more. It fits perfect in our window. It is so much more quieter than normal air conditioners half of the time we don't even know it's on. I would highly recommended this to anyone just trying to cool a bedroom.

this is the most expensive AC unit I have ever had and the most crapy one. It has NO DEHUMIDIFICATION POWER, which means it will only cool down your room and keep all the moisture in the air. there is water condensation on the controls and mold everywhere inside the unit. even my cheapest, very loud AC unit does the job better than this OVERPRICED PIECE OF ****. I called sears repair service and they charge 75$ for somebody to come and look if it's corectly instaled - like I'm a moron who has no idea how to put AC in a window. I'm taking it back to the store tomorrow and they will charge me 15% restocking fee. ONE BIG JOKE!!!!

I read some reviews here from users who didn't like the remote. But I thought: how bad can this remote be? Is it really that different from other ac remotes? The answer is YES it can be THAT bad. If you do not need to use the remote, esp not at night, then this unit is probably fine for you. If, however, you are purchasing for a bedroom, to mainly use at night, you may want to buy another unit. The remote is tiny, light weight, and easy to lose. The face of the remote is entirely black, smooth and flat, and does not light up at night or have any lcd display for temp. That means if you want to turn off/on or adjust temp or fan you have to turn on your light. And even then you won't be able to tell what temp you have set the unit at, or what speed the fan is set on, unless you get up and walk over to the ac unit. The lcd display on the unit is facing upwards. Good for keeping room dark, but bad if you'd like to see what the temp is set on. For such an expensive unit, I am amazed that the remote does not have an lcd display showing at least the temp, and at least a bump where the on/off button is so it can be used without turning on a light at night. The words on the remote are tiny (in keeping with how small the remote is), and are barely legible. With another couple of months of use, I am sure they will have rubbed off entirely. One thing I did to remote that helped -- I bought a pkg of those little plastic discs, the ones used under lamps, etc to prevent them from scratching furniture. I stuck one where the on/off control is on the remote. Now I can turn unit on/off without turning on light. Can't see to control fan or temp, but at least can turn on/off. As mentioned by another poster, the opening vents on the unit are quite large, I also duck taped netting over the opening. Otherwise you will end up with a lot of debris inside the unit. For $300, you should not have to do this stuff to make the unit and remote useable! On the plus side, the unit is pretty quiet, was easy to install (we couldn't use the brace due to our window set up, but still is fairly stable), and cools the room. Would have liked it to dehumidify a little more. But if you are using in a kitchen, den, liv rm, it should be fine. For a bedroom, I'd consider another unit.

REDLANDS - Dozens of "Twilight" fans camped out at the Krikorian Redlands Cinema 14 as early as Wednesday morning to be the first in line to see "Breaking Dawn: Part Two," the final film in the franchise.
The film, which focuses around the love story of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, portrayed by actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, is based on the popular four-book series by Stephanie Meyer.
Since the release of the first film in 2008, "Twilight" fans - or "Twihards," as they are sometimes known - have camped out for hours, sometimes days, to see the newest film the day its released.
The fourth book - "Breaking Dawn" - was broken into two films. The first part was released a year ago.
The Krikorian become a "home away from home" for many Twihards as they wait for the film to open.
The theatre allowed fans to start lining up as early as 9 a.m. Wednesday, Melaine Luine of Redlands came hours before that, camping out in her car before the line started to form.
She may not have been the first body in line for a special 10 p.m. Wednesday screening, but she said it was worth it to see the film at the earlier planned starting time.
Previous "Twilight" films were released just after midnight Thursdays, but many theaters planned on an earlier start this time to accommodate fans.
"It's the final one," Luine said. "Me and my sisters and brother have been camping out since the second one (New Moon) and obviously we want to be the first people to see the movie. We care about it so much, and being out here with everyone else who loves it, too, is an experience of its own."
Snacks, books, music and refreshments are essentials when waiting hours in line for a movie. And since temperatures dipped into the 50s Wednesday evening, campers packed tons of blankets and sweaters to keep warm.
Becky Encinas of Yucaipa brought along various "Twilight"-related merchandise from backpacks to hoodies.
She fiddled with a broken heart charm while she showed off a "Twilight"-themed tattoo on her right bicep.
Encinas considers herself a late bloomer to the franchise, having picked up the series on Christmas Eve 2008.
She read the entire series in a matter of days, convincing her sisters and friends later to do the same.
Encinas and her friends started camping out for the film series when "New Moon" was released. This was her fourth camp-out since discovering the series.
"We prepare all year long (for this)," she said. "We get ready, and we bring all our `Twilight' paraphernalia and camp the minute they let us."
Encinas and her friends also have attended DVD release parties, sometimes camping out for those as well.
Now that the series is ending, Encinas isn't sure about what she's going to do next.
"We don't know," she said. "We're asking ourselves that. We'll probably be in a coma."
Since the series first began, many Twihards have formed friendships with fellow campers.
Three friends - Ida Keepers of Yucaipa, Albert Fernandez of Redlands and Taylor Adams of San Bernardino - kept each other company Thursday as they waited for the clock to hit 10.
Keepers brought along her Boston Terrier named Yoda to keep her company, but the small pooch doubled his duty by providing a lot of entertainment for the trio.
Fernandez arrived at the theatre at 4 a.m. Wednesday. He wanted to be first in line this year because he had to wait at the back of the line for previous midnight showings.
"I showed up and there were people already here," he said.
Keepers said the film series' popularity has to do with fans wanting to know how it ends.
"We've been here in line for all the parts," she said, "and it's the end of a movie. Even though it's been part, part, part, part, part, part, it doesn't matter - it's still like one whole movie.
"You can't read a book and not read the last chapter. It's the same thing."

Mirko Filipovic and Roy Nelson will collide in a heavyweight clash planned for UFC 137, which will take place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Oct. 29, 2011.
"Cro Cop," a mixed martial arts (MMA) legend who won the prestigious Pride FC Open Weight Grand Prix Tournament in 2006, is looking to fulfill the last fight on his UFC contract … and perhaps his illustrious career.
The dangerous Croatian striker, 37 (by the time fight night rolls around), has lost back-to-back fights in brutal fashion, getting knocked out cold by Frank Mir at UFC 119 last September and most recently by Brendan Schaub at UFC 128 earlier this year.
In nine career fights inside the Octagon, Filipovic has won just four of them.
Nelson has also dropped two straight, losing three-round decisions to current number one division contender, Junior dos Santos, at UFC 117 and former heavyweight champion, Frank Mir, at UFC 130. "Big Country" won season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) with a knockout of the aforementioned Schaub in 2009.

Took my daughter and her boyfriend on their first cruise before she had to report to Japan. It was a great time had by all. We got 2 inside cabins on the Empress deck fore and felt no motion. I'm now hooked on inside cabins!!! Great value and a few steps away from all the action. With the extra money we had a blast!!!
Divas show was great as well as Motown. Corey the cruise director really worked hard to ensure the guests were entertained as well as the entire entertainment staff. They had some great dancers (jealous). Jayce was funny and Ryan was good at getting him rallied up! Both comedians were a hoot and I never went to so many comedy shows! The ports were awesome. I loved, loved, loved Little Stirrup Cay (coco cay) and I will go here often. Boris and Ronaldo in the dining room made our trip! We have no complaints!!! Thanks Carnival and the Fascination crew for sending my daughter off to serve our country in style!!!

A renewed campaign to get the state of Florida to accept billions in federal money to expand Medicaid is underway.
At a rally on Tuesday organized by the League of Women Voters, local business leaders joined the effort to convince lawmakers to reconsider taking the funds they passed on earlier this year.
Supporters said making more people eligible for coverage could create jobs, improve local health care and make the state more attractive for companies to locate.
"Take the money," supporters holding signs at the Harbour Island rally urged.
The expansion of Medicaid was proposed as part of the Affordable Care Act, with an offer by the federal government to pick up the tab for the cost for the first three years, then pay a smaller portion of the cost for a total of $51 billion over 10 years.
(More Affordable Care Act info here)
"Whether you like the current health care expansion and health care changes that are occurring, it is the law of the land," said Tampa General Hospital CEO Jim Burkhart.
Burkhart said the solution doesn't necessarily have to be an expansion of Medicaid.
"We're willing to listen to any proposal that brings the $51 billion to the state of Florida," he said.

- Reviewed by: Joshua Goldman
- Reviewed on: 01/31/2013
The good: The Canon PowerShot SX500 IS holds an ultrawide-angle 30x zoom lens in a very small, very light body. It offers more shooting options -- including semimanual and manual controls -- than most in its class, and has very good optical image stabilization.
The bad: Despite autofocus improvements, the SX500 IS' shooting performance might still be too slow for action shots, especially indoors. It's not a great choice for handheld low-light shots.
The bottom line: It has its limitations, but the Canon PowerShot SX500 IS is a good choice for zoom addicts on a budget.

Considering the price point, it's a super little camera

Full featured manual modes
Auto modes work very nice
30x optical zoom
Cons: Noisy in low light
Burst rate is very poor

Summary: The unique selling point of this camera has to be the ability to remain compact, while incorporating a fantastic built in zoom. In the past, bridge cameras were closer to the size, and price, of an entry level DSLR. This meant that they were bulky and heavy, and the only real advantage was that an additional bag of lenses wasn't required.I suggest check for best price at: camerabuilding.wordpress.com/canon-powershot-sx500-is/
With the Canon Powershot SX500, the x30 optical zoom has been retained, but the size of the camera has been massively reduced. It is now closer to the size of an average compact, with a large-ish lens attached to the front. The quality of the zoom has not been reduced either - in fact I would even go as far as to say that it has been improved. In addition to the x30 optical zoom, this can be extended to x120 with the assistance of the digital zoom. With other cameras that I have used in the past, the digital zoom was traditionally useless, even if you were using a tripod, as the pictures would either be excessively blurred, or contain a lot of noise.
In order to prove this, I set the camera a challenge. The challenge was as follows: would I be able to take a picture of a standard page of normal sized text in a magazine (Gardener's World, in case you're interested!), in daylight conditions, from four metres away and using the x120 digital zoom? The answer is yes. There was a bit of noise, and the colours were slightly distorted, but considering the challenge that was involved, I was very impressed. I couldn't even see that there was text on the page with the naked eye!
As I mentioned above, the main selling point of this camera is the ability to remain small, while keeping its fantastic zoom. Therefore, some compromises have needed to be made, so that it can still be affordable as a budget camera. The most major of these is that the number of shooting modes is somewhat limited compared to other cameras currently on the market. Therefore, unless have a snow (which at the time of writing, I do!) or a fireworks scene, there is little option but to take pictures on the automatic mode. Having said this, this will probably not really be an issue for the majority of people that this camera is aimed at. In fact, I only tend to change the settings and use scene modes when using a DSLR, on all other cameras, automatic mode is good enough for the situation.
While the number of scene modes is somewhat limited, it is still possible to adjust many other settings through the use of a full manual mode. Shutter and aperture priority modes are also available, however you've be forgiven for thinking they didn't at first glance, as Canon have called them Tv and Av modes, rather than the more common S and A.
One final point I would mention is the battery life. I received the Camera in October 2012 and have used it on and off since that date. During that period of time (6 months), I have charged the battery once and it is still showing 2 bars. A lot more impressive than another camera which I recently tried which had a battery life of a week, even if it wasn't used!
Overall, I am very impressed with this little camera. Yes, it may not be the most versatile and come with the most options and settings available, however for most people, I think the most important thing after image quality (and all cameras have mastered this by now), is zoom capability and quality. The majority of the other features are just nice to haves. Therefore, I can't find any fault with how it performs and at the end of the day, if I do find myself in a very special situation that requires all sorts of special features, I wouldn't be wanting to use what is, for all intents and purposes, a budget camera.
P.S., I suggest check best price for the "Canon PowerShot SX500 IS" at: Camerapurchasing.blogspot.com/p/canon-powershot-sx500-is.html
I hope my review is helpful, good luck my friend!

Outstanding value for money
by jonorose on April 29, 2013
Pros: - Price!!
- Incredible optical zoom capability compares with huge, heavy professional lenses.

- Doubles as a great video camera.
- Image stabilisation on video is excellent.
- Light and easy to carry around.
Cons: (only if I have to be petty)
- A bit slow.
- Not so great in low light.
- You can hear the zoom when you are recording video.

Summary: I picked up this camera for the equivalent of $250 in my money before I headed off on safari in South Africa. Everyone else around me had $5000 cameras with enormous lenses. They couldn't believe the shots I was getting out of this little point and shoot! When i was posting pictures online for friends back home they were asking when I bought an SLR with a 600mm lens! (actually, its the equivalent of a 720mm!!) And this is a light, easy to schlepp around camera that doubles as an excellent video camera. This is the best camera you could possibly want to a trip overseas if you're an amateur like me. I can't remember a better value for money purchase that I have made ever.

Summary: I bought this camera as a present to my hubby. We've had it for weeks, and we do a lot of outdoor and kids photos. He has taken some really great shots a. Overall I would say that it is a really fun camera and it has a really great zoom. Can take acceptable pictures at really far distances. With the camera's zoom capabilities I might consider shooting birds lol. :) An extra battery might be something you want to consider however. One full charge will last me 2 or 3 days.....that's maybe an hour a day of active picture taking. The camera is really very compact.
I have written a full personal review on this camera and made a comparison chart. So if you want to know more pros and cons about it visit http://www.squidoo.com/canon-powershot-sx500-is-best-buy

by forevermemorable on June 17, 2013
Pros: The Zoom lens
Cons: Battery life, picture quality, default settings, hard to navigate through menu settings, poor flash quality, drown out pictures, terrible photos without flash, etc. etc. etc.

Summary: Terrible camera! The worse one I have ever used! You can use disposable camera that perform better than this one. The auto focus drowns out your photos! Too much lighting! Of course you can tweak the settings, if you had time, but for a quick point and shoot camera, this is NOT the one. Also, many of my photos get out of focus. When the flash is not on, the pictures are distorted! When the flash is on, there usually is too much light cast on people's faces.
The default size of the pictures are set really small, which you might as well delete every photo you take. It is REALLY HARD to figure out how to change the default setting to a higher quality image. And even at that, the "higher quality" image is not really higher quality.
The battery is the worse battery life I have ever seen. I would rather use a 99 Cent Store battery than this one. Granted that you can recharge it, but when you are out taking pictures, the battery drains SUPER FAST. If you take video, you might get 10 minutes from it before the battery is depleted!
The only cool feature is the zoom lens, which can zoom pretty darn far, for the small size of this camera.

- Where can I get more information?
What is aspirin and methocarbamol (Robaxisal)?
Aspirin is in a class of drugs called salicylates. Aspirin works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It is used to reduce pain, inflammation and fever.
Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to the brain.
Aspirin and methocarbamol are used together, along with rest and physical therapy, to treat injuries and other painful muscular conditions.
Aspirin and methocarbamol may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of aspirin and methocarbamol (Robaxisal)?
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking aspirin and methocarbamol and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately:
- an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
- red, black, or bloody stools;
- bloody vomit;
- rash or itching;
- fever; or
- nasal congestion.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take aspirin and methocarbamol and talk to your doctor if you experience
- drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting;
- headache or blurred vision;
- nausea, diarrhea, or a metallic taste in the mouth;
- brown, black, or green urine (this is not harmful); or
- faint ringing in the ears.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
Read the Robaxisal (methocarbamol and aspirin) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about aspirin and methocarbamol (Robaxisal)?
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Aspirin and methocarbamol may cause dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience dizziness or drowsiness, avoid these activities.
Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while taking aspirin and methocarbamol. Also, in combination with aspirin, alcohol can be damaging to the stomach.
Call your doctor immediately if you experience a rash, itching, a fever, or nasal congestion during treatment with aspirin and methocarbamol.
Watch for bloody, black, or tarry stools or bloody vomit. This could indicate damage to the stomach.
Do not take more of this medication than is prescribed. If the pain is not being adequately treated, talk to your doctor.

Jim Harbaugh: Much more than meets the eye

Flacco signed a new contract Monday worth $120.6 million over six years, making him the highest paid player in NFL history. threw 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions during the recent postseason||||||| The Super Bowl MVP will receive a $29 million signing bonus and $52 million in guaranteed money. He will be paid $51 million over the first two years of the deal. "It's not really about the money, it's about that respect," Flacco said minutes after signing. The 28-year-old Flacco is the first starting quarterback in NFL history to make the playoffs in each of his first five seasons. He has clearly proven his status as an elite QB.
A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that Flacco has agreed on a new contract with the Baltimore Ravens.||||||| Flacco played out his rookie contract last season for $6.76 million and led Baltimore to the NFL championship. He cashed in Friday with the new deal, although terms were not immediately available. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement has not officially been announced. The 28-year-old Flacco is the only quarterback to win a postseason game in each of his first five pro seasons.
The Baltimore Ravens and Flacco's agent plan to meet this weekend in their first attempt to reach a new contract for the Super Bowl MVP.||||||| After the team and Flacco couldn't agree on an extension or a new deal last summer, Flacco played out the final year of his rookie contract - and struck it big. Flacco had 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions in the postseason. Flacco made less than $7 million in 2012, and even if the Ravens franchise him, he would at least double that salary for next season.
Flacco was named the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, leading the Ravens to a 34-31 win over San Francisco.||||||| Flacco was outstanding, compiling a 124.2 passer rating while completing 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards with three touchdowns. It may have also been his last appearance for the Ravens since he's scheduled to be a free agent in the offseason. He may be headed for one of the richest contracts in NFL history.
Flacco was 21 of 36 for 240 yards with three second-half TDs and no INTs in Sunday's AFC championship game win at New England.||||||| No NFL quarterback _ not Tom Brady, not Peyton Manning _ has more than Flacco's 62 victories, including the postseason, since the start of the 2008 season. No NFL quarterback has more than his six postseason wins on the road. And no other quarterback has a postseason victory in each of his first five seasons during the Super Bowl era.

The Mörrum Circus
How I fell in love with the thought of catching an Atlantic salmon larger than 10 kilos or 20 lbs. in the River Mörrum in SwedenBy Martin Joergensen
The Swedish river Mörrum (The letter ö is pronounced like the i in bird) is a noticeable river in many respects. Not only is it one of the most productive salmon rivers in Scandinavia, but it also holds some of the largest Atlantic salmon in the world and it is fairly easily accessible to the public with licenses available on a daily basis.
Fishing for huge atlantic salmon in the beautiful river is an experience that makes you urge for more. I went there for four days in June 2001 and cannot wait to return.
Not that easy
The river
My initial reservations
Love at first sight
Two hand rods
Underhand casting
Watching, waiting
My turn
Wade carefully
As you might know water has a lot of force, and wading waist deep on bottom that varies to say the least, can be somewhat a challenge.
A sturdy wading staff can be highly recommended for the faint of heart, but many will do fine without.
Two takes
Circus? What circus?

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- Long gone are the days of courtroom sketches.
You'll probably rarely see them anymore, at least at the McLean County Law and Justice Center, since Tuesday marked the first hearing ever in Illinois' 11th Judicial Circuit allowing cameras in a trial courtroom.
For the first time, news cameras and electronic recordings picked up everything from the judge's comments to the defendant's tears.
It's all part of the Illinois Supreme Court's pilot program that started about a year ago.
"The goal is to make sure that the public understands that business is being done every day, to understand that it's a fair process," said Chief Judge Elizabeth Robb, of the 11th Judicial Circuit.
On Tuesday, a judge denied Misook Nowlin's request for new attorneys.
Nowlin was previously convicted of murdering her 70-year-old mother-in-law and will be sentenced March 1.
Attorneys say publicizing the judicial process is good for the lawyers and for the public.
"I think if anything, some of them might try a little harder," said Jason Chambers, the McLean Co. State's Attorney. "Things like CSI and shows that do the sensational aspects, I think it can be very helpful if people have the opportunity to see a part of what's actually going on and how cases are actually going on in our community."
"I think you saw a good slice of what happens in the courthouse every day," said Brian McEldowney, defense attorney for Nowlin.
But not all cases will be recorded.
"No juvenile cases. No adoption. No child custodies where the victim of a sex offense testifies."
Any party or witness can also file an objection to be filmed..
And each hearing must first be media-approved.
Still, judges are hoping to expand the concept of cameras in the courtroom to Peoria County and beyond.
"In Iowa and Wisconsin, cameras in the courtroom have been around for 20 years," said Chief Judge Robb. "So, this is a historic day."

(WMC-TV) - A teen who walked into a convenience store to get change for his mother was shot at the counter.
Crews sent him to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in non-critical condition Thursday afternoon.
The North Memphis Market surveillance reveals a man walking into the store. Witnesses say he had his hand on a gun. The man started arguing with a man at the counter in a white baseball cap. Not long after the young man walks into the store. Then the two men arguing start shooting and the teenager falls down.
The video shows a man in the hood runs out of the store. The teen's mother gets out of her car after she hears the shots.
The store was filled with people but only the teen was hit.
As of Thursday night, no suspects were in custody.
