A new look at the role of hero and villain in Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner."
"Yossi" is a modest movie about a closeted Israeli cardiologist still living in mourning a decade after his lover's death. It's serious about its characters and their emotions, but still finds room for humor.
The film is a sequel to director Eytan Fox's 2002 breakthrough "Yossi and Jagger," a romance about two men who fall in love while serving together in the Israeli army. Yossi (Ohad Knoller), one half of the earlier film's titular couple, now works in a Tel Aviv hospital. He is a workaholic, well-liked but intensely private. He sleeps in hospital beds between shifts, and tries to keep his colleagues — including a nurse (Ola Schur-Selektar) who has a crush on him and an irresponsible doctor (Lior Ashkenazi) who wants to be his friend — at arm's length.
Yossi lives in a double bind. On the one hand, he isn't comfortable enough with his co-workers to let them know that he's gay. On the other, he isn't comfortable enough with his aging body — ten years older and a good forty pounds heavier than he was in "Yossi and Jagger" — to pursue relationships.
In one the movie's standout scenes, Yossi goes to the apartment of a potential hook-up. The two had met online, and upon finally meeting in person, the other man calls Yossi out — gently but sharply — for deceiving him with old pictures from his army days. In short, Yossi lives in the past — partly out of self-loathing, partly due to trauma. To him, the present is little more than a blur of work, sleep and online porn.
"Yossi" follows him as he slowly, painfully learns to let go of the past, first by telling Jagger's parents (Orly Zilbershats, Raffi Tavor) about their relationship and then by going on vacation to the resort town of Eilat. There he meets up with a friendly group of soldiers — one of whom, Tom (Oz Zehavi), is openly gay. Not everything that happens in "Yossi" is necessarily believable, but it is all credible, thanks to the performances and to screenwriter Itay Segal's finely-tuned — and often funny — dialogue.
"Yossi"'s one major flaw is its style, or lack thereof. It looks and moves like a cable TV show — something that would play on FX or AMC. There's a fine line between being pragmatic and being tone-deaf, and at certain critical moments Fox errs on the side of the latter. For instance, a crucial late scene — which could be moving if it were, say, presented as a single take — is undercut by the editing. The scene involves Yossi disrobing — in a sense, coming to terms with his body — but is edited to obscure his nudity. Fox's shot choices are practical, not emotional, and the result robs the moment of any sense of catharsis.
Still, Fox manages to make up for some of his shortcomings as a visual stylist with his talent as a director of actors. Facial expressions, speech rhythms, and body language fill in emotional gaps. As Yossi, Knoller is especially excellent: his unflatteringly scraggily beard, slow walk, and slumpy posture suggest exhaustion and depression. His sad eyes — saddled with big insomniac bags — communicate everything the camera doesn't.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Welcome to the Division of Vascular Surgery at UMass Medical School and the Heart and Vascular Center of Excellence at UMassMemorial Medical Center.
We invite you to visit our expanded site for more detailed information regarding faculty, clinical and research activities, and the vascular surgery fellowship program at: cardiovascular.umassmemorial.org/vascular-and-endovascular-services
Treatment at the vascular center emphasizes the prevention of peripheral vascular disease through patient education, exercise, and counseling services for smoking cessation and dietary modification. Most vascular disease can be diagnosed relatively easily on the basis of the patient's symptoms and a physical examination by a vascular specialist. Further diagnostic information is often gained through non-invasive ultrasound testing in our Vascular Laboratory, or radiological imaging such as MRI, CT scanning or angiography. The majority of patients with symptoms of vascular disease can now be treated by means other than a surgical operation through the use of medication, exercise or with minimally invasive endovascular procedures such as angioplasty or stent graft placement. When an operation is the best form of treatment, patients typically undergo a preliminary evaluation of their heart, lung and kidneys to ensure that they can tolerate the stress of the operation safely.
The second goal of our team is to foster research to understand better the causes of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and the way in which blood vessels react to surgical operations and endovascular stent placement. The laboratory for basic vascular science is located on the University Campus and is staffed by two research physicians and two post-doctoral fellows. Funding for research is provided by the University of Massachusetts Medical School, industrial sponsors and private philanthropy. The Vascular Center also has had a strong interest in the development of new medications for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease. The Center has been involved in more than two dozen clinical trials of investigational medications over the past 20 years.
The third, and not the least important function of the group, is to provide education about vascular disease at all levels ranging from the general public, to patients, to medical students and at the post-graduate level. This website has been designed to be used by anyone seeking information about vascular disease, as well as by those wishing to learn more about the related educational and research activities at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

thanks for posting all of the pics! - when/if the fb page reaches 200 and when/if the petition hits 100, I am thinking quite seriously about disassembling myself into parts, to then be mailed to various board members who can then re-assemble me on the polo grounds. that may very well be my contingency plan for 2015.
Can I get first bids on your dong?
It could be no other way

The Wolf Among Us FAQ (Last Update on July 21, 2014)
All information in this FAQ is compiled by community moderators Jennifer and Vainamoinen. We check our facts thoroughly and have a lot of Telltale experience on our backs, but this is not an 'official' source, we're just volunteers!
(1) What is The Wolf Among Us?
It is an episodic game based on Bill Willingham's Fables comics, set in Fabletown, a hidden refuge for Fables in New York City. It is a prequel, set before the first issue, and is said by Mr. Willingham to be in canon with the comics. The player character will be the sheriff Bigby Wolf, and it will include Fables favorites like Snow White and Colin, one of the three little pigs. It also features original Fables created by Telltale for this game.
(2) What kind of game is it?
It is a game about choices, similar to The Walking Dead, with action sequences. The choices in this game relate to Bigby's wolf side, and how he treats the people he meets and those he has to protect. Like The Walking Dead, it consists of choice based gameplay. However, there is more freedom in the choices this time. You are able to choose where to go in some instances, and the events will happen in real time. So, the other event will still play out regardless of whether or not you are there. Also, the action is slightly more directly controlled this time. Bigby gets into brawls, and since he is a Fable, the fights are more over the top than they could be with someone like Lee from The Walking Dead.
(3) Is Bill Willingham involved with the game?
Bill Willingham reached a deal with Telltale to help with the general direction of the story of the game, and to make sure the characters and story stay true to the greater Fables universe.
(4) On which platforms is TWAU available?
The episodes are available for PC and Mac through the Telltale Store, Steam and other digital platforms, on the PlayStation3 through PSN, on Xbox360 through XBLA, and on iOS. Episodes one through three are available on Kindle Fire and Amazon Fire TV, and the final two episodes will be released shortly.
On October 24th, 2013, Telltale also announced a PS Vita version of The Wolf among Us. No release date has yet been announced for Vita, other than the confirmation by Sony that it would be released sometime in 2014. It will also be released on disc for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, but release dates for these versions have not yet been announced.
(5) When were the episodes released?
Episode 1 "Faith" was released on October 11, 2013 on PC & Xbox Live, on October 14th on Mac, on October 15th for PSN NA, on October 16th for PSN EU, on December 5th for iOS, and on June 2, 2014 for Kindle Fire and Amazon Fire TV.
Episode 2 "Smoke and Mirrors" was released on January 4, 2014 on PC, Mac & PSN NA, on January 5th for XBLA & PSN EU, on January 7th for iOS, and on June 2, 2014 for Kindle Fire and Amazon Fire TV.
Episode 3 "A Crooked Mile" was released on April 8, 2014 on PC, Mac & PSN NA, on April 9th for XBLA & PSN EU, on iOS on April 10th, and on June 2, 2014 for Kindle Fire and Amazon Fire TV.
Episode 4 "In Sheep's Clothing" was released on May 27, 2014 on PC, Mac & PSN NA, on May 28, 2014 for XBLA, May 29, 2014 for iOS, and on PSN EU on May 30.
Episode 5 "Cry Wolf" was released on July 8, 2014 for PC, Mac & PSN NA, on July 9, 2014 for XBLA and PSN EU, and on July 10, 2014 for iOS.
(6) How much does it cost?
Like The Walking Dead, the episodes cost $5 each. A season pass option comprising all five episodes is available for $25. The price might vary per platform. On some platforms (like the PC), you can't buy the episodes individually and will have to buy the entire season at once.
(7) "Episodic" games? How does that work?
With a bit of patience, they do work. Each episode was released roughly one to two months apart (on the platforms that were shipped at launch, the release windows between the episodes in the versions that came afterward vary). Each individual episode contains an individual part of a story that is held together through a narrative that connects all of the episodes together into what Telltale calls a season. Think along the lines of a serialized television series such as Lost.
(8) How many episodes are there?
There are five episodes. The episode titles are Faith, Smoke & Mirrors, A Crooked Mile, In Sheep's Clothing, and Cry Wolf.
(9) Why doesn't Telltale give more specific updates about episodes for the platforms that have yet to release?
Telltale's early days of open transparency are just not possible anymore. Before they only released games on their online store and GameTap, and had much lower profile licenses. Now that they are working with large corporations such as Warner Bros (which owns Vertigo, which is an imprint of DC Comics) for Fables, and with big name licenses like The Walking Dead, and have to deal with distribution deals with large console manufacturers like Sony and Microsoft, they can't announce release dates until very close to release. This is because the distribution partners are the ones who set the release dates on their platforms, and they only set aside release for a few games per week, and only release them on certain days). As Telltale's PR person Laura Perusco has said:
"Bear in mind that we're usually only able to announce release dates really close to an episode's actual release - think back to The Walking Dead: Season Two premiere, where we could only announce dates the DAY BEFORE the ep came out.
A lot of times this has to do with coordinating releases across multiple platform partners like with our friends at Valve/Steam, Sony, Microsoft, or Apple. As with all of our episodes, we always try make sure the content lands across all platforms as close together as possible so that all fans can join in the discussion at around the same time."
That's the reason that they can only give release dates when they have them, and can only give vague statements such as that they're still working on the game when they don't have them. They do give weekly updates that they are still working on the game, so they do their best letting people know that game development is progressing. Specific updates on release dates are just not possible until the moment Telltale gets them from their distribution partners. Telltale has always been a company that's appreciative of their fans (putting fan feedback into releases, allowing fans to post videos of their games without restriction (even going so far as to allow complete playthroughs of their episodes without commentary), etc). If they could give release dates sooner, they definitely would.
(10) For which languages will the game be available?
Only English is available at the moment. There is no word on what languages The Wolf Among Us will be translated to or when they will be available, but historically Telltale has released their translations towards the end of the season.
(11) Will there be a bonus/free collector's DVD version available from the Telltale store?
YES! Yes, after three years, Telltale store PC/Mac Season customers will finally receive a free bonus game DVD just for shipping costs.
(12) If I buy the game from someplace other than the Telltale store will I still get the collector's DVD?
No. The collector's DVD is only available for PC and Mac customers who order from the Telltale store (or from an outlet that has a code that redeems on the Telltale Store).
(13) What will be on the collector's DVD from the Telltale store?
According to a post by the president of Telltale Games, Kevin Bruner, the collector's DVD will have the entire game on it, various videos, behind the scenes, etc. The DVD also comes in a case with special TTG only artwork. They have done a DVD with almost every TTG series, but since the DVD usually contains things that are created while the series is in production, they can't say what specific things will be on it. They usually start locking down the exact contents of the DVD as the season comes to a close.

Like any true celebrity, Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier from "The Artist" and "Water for Elephants," puts in his time on the treadmill.
At 10, Uggie doesn't do a heavy workout, just a light trot and walking, said owner-trainer Omar Von Muller of Los Angeles.
But Von Muller bought Uggie a DogPacer for those times when he can't go out because of weather, work or paparazzi.
"It's important to keep him in shape," Von Muller said. "If they don't get their exercise, they get old too fast, just like people."

Lebanon's Justice Ministry should immediately issue a directive ordering an end to anal examinations as part of police investigative procedures to determine suspects' sexual behavior, Human Rights Watch said today. The ministry should follow the lead of the Lebanese Doctor's Syndicate, which recently denounced the tests as a form of torture.
The Lebanese authorities should drop all homosexuality-related charges against three men arrested during a raid on a cinema in Beirut on July 28, 2012, Human Rights Watch said. The government should take steps to repeal article 534 of the Lebanese penal code, which criminalizes "sexual relations against nature" and is used to prosecute men for homosexuality. Read the full story here.

UPDATE: The IOC has stripped Ostapchuk of her gold medal after she tested positive for steroids.
Strong women throwing things dominated the women's shot put at the 2012 Olympics on Monday, which was far more reasonable than weak women not throwing things doing it. Belarus' Nadzeya Ostapchuk won the event easily.
Ostapchuk hit 21.36 meters on her third of six attempts, and scored the only two attempts of more than 21 meters in the final. New Zealand's Valerie Adams took silver with a toss of 20.70 meters, and Russia's Evgeniia Kolodko secured bronze at 20.48 meters.
Adams is the 2008 gold medalist and 2011 world champion in the event, but put just three of her six attempts between the lines, allowing Ostapchuk (who won bronze in Beijing) to claim the top spot on the medal podium.
Both Belarus and New Zealand have eight medals at the 2012 Games.

Westerly - A 22-year-old Chicago man was arrested for trespassing early Wednesday on a private road near the new $17.7 million home of country superstar Taylor Swift.
Westerly police said the man was arrested for trespassing at 2:15 a.m. after he was spotted on the private Lighthouse Road by a patrol officer conducting a security check of the Watch Hill Lighthouse.
When asked what he was doing, police said Lucas H. Vorsteveld said he was out for a walk. Police said he was taken to police headquarters where he processed and later released on a summons to appear May 24 in Fourth Division District Court.
Westerly Police Capt. Shawn Lacey said the arrest caused a media storm spurred by a report of the arrest on TMZ and some media reports about a fanatic fan swimming to the area. The police station was inundated with media calls.
Lacey said there was no indication the man was on Swift's Bluff Road property, which is protected by private security, but it remains unclear what he was doing in the area.

Let's just go ahead and get this out of the way: this transaction, on its own, is hardly exciting. From the official Twitter account of the Los Angeles Dodgers:
#Dodgers re-sign Mike MacDougal to a 1-year deal w/ a club option for 2013
Hoo boy. The contract's supposedly worth $1 million. A year ago, MacDougal had to settle for a minor league contract. So this is neat for him. It's his reward for posting a 2.05 ERA in relief that he didn't deserve. MacDougal is 34, and he's more or less the same guy he's always been - he throws really hard, he doesn't miss enough bats, he issues too many walks, and he survives by keeping the ball on the ground. He'll go forward as a middle reliever.
So it isn't the transaction that's interesting. It's MacDougal that's interesting. First, here's a video of MacDougal breaking a sign:
And now a comparison. Roy Halladay, post-release:
Mike MacDougal, post-release:
His head is practically at his knee. If you were standing directly behind Mike MacDougal as he throws a pitch, you would see the entire upper half of his body disappear. There's a lot of... force in MacDougal's delivery, and it's kind of amazing to me that he's never been on the DL with a hurt back. It's not amazing to me that he has trouble hitting his spots. He's a little too violent to get by on command.
So now you know a little something about Mike MacDougal. You might have known about his delivery before, in which case, congratulations, you like baseball a lot. Additional fun fact: as recently as 2009, MacDougal racked up 20 saves with the Nationals. That same season, MacDougal had more walks than strikeouts. I don't know.

Last fall we had folks from Canada, California, Illinois, PA, Ohio, WV, Maryland, Connecticut, New York, Kentucky and probably a few others.
The ground is sponsored by a local farmer or two and they are just about the best hosts you could find. Anyone that shows up is welcomed and feels right at home. All tractors are welcome.
Saturday the 24th is for garden tractors to plow and as soon as we get enough of the top of the hill plowed, we start building the pulling track. We are going to have a weight transfer sled and scales there. No competition (official anyhow) it's all for fun and bragging rights. You can plow or pull all day. Last fall we had about 175 hooks to the sled (and we didn't start pulling till after lunch!).
Sunday the 25th will be for the farm tractors. Dave noted on the flyer that if you don't have a plow, that's OK, they'll loan you one. They are like that there. I'd just met the PPMA guys last spring for our first plow day. Hank Will and I hung out for the Sunday plow days just to check things out and take some pictures. Before it was said and done, one of the guys stopped as I was walking to another field and put me on his JD 60 with 3 14's and I was looking for Hank to take a picture, he was already on another guys F-20 plowing. We had never met these guys before and they not only opened their farms to us but also made us their friends. They are most all farmers and just want to help people that do not farm to know what farming is, to get a better understanding.
I'll post the flier in the Announcement section so it doesn't get lost in the archives. I'm going to take my 782 Cub Cadet and my F Cub and plow both days.

(WMC-TV) - Tipton County deputies believe they just busted a huge dog fighting ring.
But, they uncovered more than just dogs in the raid when they stormed a home in Covington.
23 dogs were taken from Albert White's house. Seven are currently at the Covington City pound.
Some of the dogs' injuries are so severe, they may have to be euthanized.
Caretakers have been nursing these pit bulls all weekend.
One pit bull has two broken front legs.
In all, 13 adult pit bulls and 10 pit bull puppies were taken from behind a house on Turner Lane.
"Obviously, their conditions were awful for dogs," said Chief Donna Turner from the Tipton County Sheriff's Office.
Last week, deputies arrested Albert White.
White is facing charges of drug possession, possession of a firearm, and possession of vicious dogs.
This is not White's first brush with the law. He is a convicted felon.
One neighbor was surprised by the incident.
"Nice guy, works everyday. I (didn't) known him to have problems like that," added neighbor Windal Edwards.
In addition to the dogs, deputies also took a large amount of marijuana and over $32,000 in cash from inside White's house.
"(I) have no idea if it was proceeds from the sell of drugs, puppies, or from fighting dogs," continued Chief Turner.
Neighbors near White's home made clear they had never heard the dogs behind his house.
While some of the dogs taken from White's home may have to be euthanized, some may be up for adoption. For more information, call Covington City Hall at 901-476-9613.

GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) - Just in time for the holidays, Greenwich police are cracking down on drunken driving.
The Greenwich Time reports that police have increased their late night and weekend road presence over the past month. Police say the increased presence is working: Since the beginning of November, 25 arrests for driving under the influence have been made in Greenwich. Ten motorists were arrested this month.
Christmas and New Year's Day are among the most dangerous driving days of the year, with spikes in drunken driving accidents.
The statistics do not include arrests made on Interstate 95 or the Merritt Parkway, which are in the jurisdiction of the State Police.
The crackdown is set to continue through New Year's Day.

It was revealed Thursday that 90's-rap phenom Vanilla Ice would be driving the honorary pace car for next week's NASCAR event at Pocono Raceway.
While many scoffed at the idea, it's unfortunately NOT the first time a one-hit-wonder of questionable talent teamed up with NASCAR – at least according to the mind of our satirist @nascarcasm.
Take a look at some of these blasts from the past:
2011: JJ's Hammer Pants Firesuit
Kobalt Tools, a sponsor of Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 team, wrongly chose to affiliate themselves with MC Hammer. A poor effort of cross-promotion led to the now infamous Hammer-Pants Firesuit.
2005: The Humpy Wheeler Dance
Famed Charlotte Motor Speedway promoter "Humpy" Wheeler, known for the pomp and bombast of his pre-race shows, would rather forget his foray into hip-hop, teaming up with Digital Underground to perform "The Humpy Dance" before that year's Coke 600.
A confused crowd stood silent and cross-armed. Wishing the crowd "Peace and Humpiness forever," Wheeler walked offstage and the gimmick was never used again.
2008: Boris Said Fred
Boris Said figured a road-course-ringer and a one-hit wonder would be a perfect match. However, "Boris Said Fred" failed miserably, as did novelty single, "I'm Too Scruffy."
2009: Bobby Got Back
Former Sprint Cup champion Bobby Labonte was able to convince the desperate Sir Mix-A-Lot that the "Bobby Got Back" promotion was a bad idea, and thus, it never saw the light of day.
2012: Monster Makeover (pending)
Should the Vanilla Ice appearance at Pocono receive good press, Dover International Speedway will team up with legendary 80's one-hit-wonder A Flock Of Seagulls and...well...

If we are One Nation, then why is racial profiling still such an issue?
by Restore Fairness, Fri Oct 01, 2010 at 03:09:00 PM EDT
From the Restore Fairness blog-
When Huda Alasali tried to board the ferry to Governor's Island with her children and a friend last Saturday, a New York Waterways employee told her that she could not get on the ferry unless she removed some of her religious attire. She was told that removing her hijab was in compliance with regulations and security reasons, yet these were not rules listed on the dock. New York Waterways later confirmed that they have no rules against ethnic and religious attire. Huda spoke to CBS about her ordeal-
"I said to him, if you have a metal detector, you can check our bags. You can check us. We don't have nothing with us…He said, No you cannot go on the ferry with all that clothes. Take it off….Truly I felt like, you know what? He thinks that we are terrorists."
When Huda and other passengers protested and the ferry's captain got involved, the crew member relented and Huda, her friend and their children did eventually get to Governor's Island. The damage had been done, however. Even though the authorities apologized and assured Huda that the employee in question has been suspended, she is planning on filing a lawsuit for discrimination. "I don't want money…I'm looking for respect," she told CBS news.
In light of increasing incidents of discrimination such as this one, and that of a New York taxi driver bring stabbed by a customer after saying that he was Muslim, a new 11 minute documentary challenging Americans to "Face the Truth" on race in America becomes more relevant than ever. The documentary accompanies a report by the Rights Working Group examines the devastating impact of religious intolerance and racial profiling.
The documentary and report were screened at a Congressional hearing in D.C. yesterday, attended by advocates, police chiefs, community organizers and legislators, and demonstrated how the humiliating practice of racial profiling does little to make us safer. They urge Congress to pass the End Racial Profiling Act (ERPA).
As the momentum for fair immigration and racial justice grows, this Saturday, October 2, exactly one month before Election Day, more than 100,000 people will gather in Washington, D.C. for One Nation Working Together. The march represents a rapidly growing movement across the United States with more than 170 human rights, civil rights, environmental, labor, peace, youth and faith-based organizations joining with the Latino community to stand up for what America believes in and to mobilize voters for this November.
The march comes on the heels of a comprehensive immigration reform bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Menendez (D-NJ). The bill, co-sponsored by Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT), is a strong workable bill to move the legislative process forward. For the senators who have introduced it, it is a concrete proposal that shows there is no stopping the demand for comprehesnsive immigration reform as a solution to our broken immigration system. Measures include strengthening border security, smart interior enforcement and requiring the estimated undocumented immigrants present in the U.S. to register with the government, pay their taxes, learn English, pay a fine, pass a background check and wait in line for permanent residence.
It's time for action. As the elections move nearer, there will be political manoeuvrings no doubt, but it is important to stand by beliefs of whats important in America – fairness and justice. Take action now.

James Holmes, the man accused in the Colorado shootings that killed 12 people and wounded another 58 at the new Batman movie premiere, "The Dark Knight Rises," appeared in court for the first time Monday. Now that his proceedings are taking place, a big decision awaits – should he receive the death penalty?
Capital punishment is illegal in New York, but it is still accepted in Colorado, though rarely used. The last execution was in 1977. However, if Holmes, is found guilty, the enormity of his alleged crimes may show the death penalty to be the most suitable sentence.
According to Colorado lawyers, factors that favor the death penalty can include the defendant having a previous record of violent felonies, killing a police officer, killing by use of a bomb, especially cruel crimes, killing two or more people, and killing a child.
Victims of the shooting include Jon Blunk, a U.S. Navy sailor and father of two, who served three tours in the Persian Gulf and North Arabian Sea. He died while protecting his girlfriend from the bullets. Two other members of the military were killed as well, including, Jesse Childress, a member of the U.S. Air Force and John Larimer was a Navy sailor based at Buckley Air Force Base. Others include 18-year-old AJ Boik who had just graduated high school and 23-year-old college student Micayla Medek. Alex Sullivan who went to the movies that night to celebrate his 27th birthday and first wedding anniversary also lost his life, along with four more victims. The youngest killed was 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan. She had just learned to swim, her family told Yahoo!
More information about the attack is coming through including the speculation that the attack was premeditated. Holmes' home was found to be rigged with booby traps for anyone who would enter searching for him, and he was said to have worn full protection gear, including a mask that would have shielded him from the smoke bombs he allegedly set off before the shooting began. If convicted, those pieces of information may become tools to show that Holmes clearly knew what he was doing, and was not mentally ill. However, his dyed orange hair, look of confusion and detached sense of reality in court Monday are also being questioned as a sign of potential mental instability.
Holmes, 24, is is expected to return to court next week, to be formally charged with murder and enter a plea. He is being held in solitary confinement and was brought to the courtroom through an underground tunnel, ABC reported.
If the death penalty is sought, it is expected to be a very long process that would impact victims and family members for years, prosecutors told ABC News. Prosecutors will have 60 days to decide if they will seek the death penalty.

NEW YORK, 22 April 2005 – UNICEF and New York's New School University are bringing together scholars, policy thinkers and global experts for a conference entitled 'Children and Poverty: Global Trends, Local Solutions', from 25-27 April 2005.
During the three-day event, participants will discuss issues addressed in the State of the World's Children 2005 report, with the aim of increasing knowledge and improving global policies on child poverty.
"Children are not seen as having a separate experience of poverty," explains Elizabeth Gibbons, UNICEF's Chief of Global Policy.
"For example, the measurement of poverty which the world has adopted for the Millennium Development Goals is an income measurement of $1-2 per day per person. For children, that's really not a relevant measure. What children need to have their rights fulfilled are services in education and health. Even if there is money within the household, if there is no school nearby, the child is being deprived of his or her right.
"Secondly," she continues, "an income measure for children is not appropriate because you can often have a child who has a lot of income because they're working, but not in school. You can hardly say that child's rights are being fulfilled."

|Jessie, 4, and her sister, Aedess Chikwasa, 14, prepare 'nsima' – cooked maize – on a small fire for her mother and siblings, in the family's cooking hut in a village near Lilongwe, Malawi.
The conference begins with presentations on global trends and their social impact. This is designed to provide a broad context for the remainder of the conference. The first day closes with a panel that will debate issues relating to globalization, poverty and children.
The next two days will focus on how to implement effective policies for reducing child poverty, and how to fulfill the basic rights of children. Brief presentations by authors of the papers selected for the conference are followed by panel discussions, inviting participation from the audience.
The presenting authors were selected following an international call by UNICEF and the New School for papers on analytical and policy research on issues and trends related to children living in poverty. Authors were asked to examine the concepts and measurements of poverty, as well as the actions needed to secure a protective, harmonious and stimulating environment for empowering families.
The papers chosen for the conference fall into the following four categories:

On Monday, July 29 workers will start making a few repairs like patching and replacing joints on the Ohio River Bridge between Cairo and Wickliffe.
Because of this, trucks buses, motor homes and vehicles pulling trailers can't use the bridge for more than two months. However, the bridge will not be closed.
"We could have closed the bridge completely, but that would have only shortened the amount of time it was closed like maybe a week," said Keith Todd with the Kentucky Transportation Department. "And then when we started talking to some of the area groups and organizations and businesses, they were concerned about people that may live on one side of the river and work on the other side. So, at least by maintaining some passenger vehicle traffic, those people will still be able to get to and from work."
The repairs to the bridge are expected to last until September.

While there may have been sibling rivalry between Thomas and Tim Galyen growing up, Friday night these bothers banned together...literally.
Proudly the two band directors stood on the sideline of the Hidden Valley vs Northside Varsity football game, watching as both of their opposing school bands played in unison the national anthem.
"The teams are supposed to tackle each other and knock each other down, but the musicians don't have to do that,"Thomas Galyen said. "So they can join together and express something and especially with 9/11 being this week playing the anthem in a mass band was really special."
Even more special with his big brother by his side.
"I think it's awesome I mean we grew up together playing music,"Tim said. "He played drum set and I played sax and guitar stuff like that so to be able to do this on a professional level with our kids is really cool."
But even prouder than the brothers themselves, Friday night mom and dad were their number one fans, filming the show from the press box. They drove all the way from Richmond to watch the show.
"They work together and compliment each other," Steven Galyen said. "They are very, very impressive and we are proud."
For the Galyen's making music is the family business. Both Tim and Thomas have an older brother Danny who is also a band director.
So despite the opposing teams on the field, for one night these titans and Vikings get to do what they love most with some of the people they love most, family.

If you are looking for a full size bed frame this is NOT the frame for you. This platform bed, although described as a full is actually a full/queen which means it fits a queen perfectly and a full size mattress sloppily and this we did not discover until it was fully assembled. I'm so disappointed because I specifically purchased a full size mattress and bunky board prior to receiving the bed frame and now there is a two inch gap between the mattress and frame on all four sides. And because the platform is only 13 inches off the ground, it is impossible to find a bed skirt to fit it. They are all too long. So it makes hiding the gap a big problem. Sigh. This bed had so much promice but it did not deliver.
This bed was abosolutely fantastic! I put it together last night with the help of my husband... We started putting it together upside down (Oops :)) but the disassembly was easy and putting it together correctly was a snap! All together with the initial disassembly and reassembly it took us about an hour total. The directions were easy to read and the whole bed came in one box. This bed is made of hardwood and the color was terrific. The bed is super sturdy and even though it is low to the ground, I'm still able to utilize a bit of the underbed space so I'm extremely pleased by that as well. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and I would do it again, hands down, no questions asked. I had to speak with a customer representative about an issue I had with checking out and she immediately resolved the issue for me. I am so pleased with this company! This was my first time buying from them so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was totally amazed by how fast the order shipped too!! Ordered it on a Thursday and my order was at my door on a Saturday! I was so pleased. I would totally reccomend this bed and this company to anyone who asked :)
I bought this bed for my teenage son (16 yo). I needed to get him a bed that would hold his size (200+lbs and still growing). Was very happy with the quality and the color (walnut). Putting this bed together was no problem (make sure your drill is charged-lots of screws). We only needed to get a top mattress since this is a platform bed, so that saves a little money for you. The height of the bed was good too, my son can still put his containers under his bed. The only thing with the frame is there is a small space between the mattress, but you can't see it when the bedding is in place. Still felt this bed desires 5 stars. The best thing is that my son loves his new bed! Hope this info helps with your decision.
A good sturdy bed although it may be a little pricy from my point of view. But, I'm an old dude and maybe that's why. It goes really well with my new memory foam mattress as I don't have to use box springs and it keeps my mattress nice and flat, like I like it, not all saggy like the box springs. Now I can enjoy a good night's sleep without waking up in the middle of the night wrenching in back pain or in the morning. I feel much better with this combination and should have done it long ago , had I known. Overstock is my favorite on line store and I will continue to purchase their quality products.
My 14 year old son picked out this bed. It was just what he wanted. The price was fair, and it arrived a week after placing the order. As soon as the bed arrived, my son wanted to start putting it together. I told him to wait until his father got home so he could help him. Then, I had to leave the house for about an hour. When I returned, my son was just about done putting the whole thing together. He used a power drill and had no problem with holes lining up or with deciphering the diagram that showed how to put the bed together.He is a bright and talented kid, but still I was impressed that he could manage all the pieces singlehandedly! Everything was well packed in bubble wrap, all the parts were there and nothing was scratched. When we placed the new mattress on it, I was a bit concerned because there seemed to be too much extra space surrounding the mattress. Once the mattress pad, sheets, blankets and comforter were on, however, that extra space was no longer there. The bed looks great. My only complaint is that I hit the edge of the bed with my knee everytime I drop laundry off in my son's room. (Someday I'll learn.) My son loves his new bed.
Easy to assemble and looks good. Would purchase again.
This bed is awesome. Just what I needed for the size bedroom I have. Thank You so much.....I have always been satisfied with the products you have to offer.. I tell my family and friends to join in the shopping. I never have a problem. Thanks again. Keep up the great work..
I would have expected this bed to have lasted more than 2 years. Center supports broke during night time 'activity'. The bed looked nice to begin with and was easy to move, but was just too flimsy to last.
I really like this platform bed. It arrived in a timely manner and was pretty easy to put together. It is true as they stated it is not for a full size bed. It is for a queen. I have a full size mattress and although it does not look sloppy it would obviously be better if it fit as described. The color of the bed was beautiful mostly. It looked to me that one piece was different in color from the other pieces. Feels sturdy when I lay down and the support down the middle of the frame is awesome. I am definitely satisfied with my purchase.
These beds are a very good value for the money. They look sleek and modern, and don't require a box spring, which makes them an even better value. This is the second time we've ordered the same bed (for a second guest room), we were so satisfied with the first one we ordered.

LEE COUNTY: Florida ranks number one in the country for fatal bicycle crashes. The problem is so bad, communities are spending hundreds of thousands of tax dollars on plans to make the roads safe, but the NBC2 Investigators found little to nothing has been done. NBC2 Investigator Andy Pierrotti literally hit the road to get answers.
We share the same road, but when you're a cyclist pounding the pavement in Southwest Florida, don't expect to be respected by all drivers.
"I don't remember the actual impact itself," says Craig Hersch, who knows the risk first hand.
The Ft. Myers attorney and triathlon competitor nearly died after a driver hit him on Summerlin Road a few years ago
"The problem is, is that a lot of our motorists unfortunately don't consider bicyclists to able to share the road, and some of them are outright hostile," Hersch said.
Florida has consistently ranked one of the top three deadliest states to ride a bicycle.
Southwest Florida saw 644 accidents from 2008 to June 2010. That's one accident every 34 hours. Seventeen bicyclists died.
To make it safer, the city of ft Myers purchased a design plan in 2006 to restructure the city's roads by adding more bike lanes and sidewalks. That plan cost taxpayers $278,742.
NBC2 discovered that as of 2011, only 13-percent of the plan has been implemented.
So, what's taking so long?
"It's funding. Funding is the issue," says Saaed Kazemi, the city's chief engineer.
He says the city planned to immediately start construction, but the recession hit, and it lost money.
Florida Bike Association's Dan Moser says the city's isn't the only one dragging its feet. He blames local counties and the state too.
"We have to get the Florida Department of Transportation to acknowledge that there's a problem, and they don't just dismiss it [by saying] oh, there's more people biking because the weather is nice," Moser said.
According to a January report by The News Service of Florida, Lauren Hallam, executive director of the Florida Bicycle Association, told a state senate transportation committee it should take a serious look at penalties for drivers who strike bicycle riders.
"Usually you like to be number one, but Florida unfortunately generally is number one in bicycle and pedestrian fatalities," she said. "When people get killed, we get very, very angry and we want to do something about it."
Hallam seemed to draw some sympathy from the committee chairman, Senator. Jack Latvala, though he later did not include any of her proposals in the list of bills likely to be taken up by his committee.
Last year, Lee County's Metropolitan Planning Organization spent $188,000 on a design plan to make streets safer for bikers. They hope to get grants to fund the projects.

The MT-24EX is far better than the MR-14EX. IMHO images from the MR-14EX come out a bit flat.
- You can rotate the heads to change the lighting. This is hugely important for insects that are reflective. It is also important for adjusting around obstacles near the critter.
- The heads also angle - allowing you to easily move from the 100/2.8 macro to the MP-E 65
- The heads may be placed off the front of the lens using macro brackets. This is very useful for lenses such as 180mm macros and for highly reflective things like ice/water drops where you need to dramatically change the angle of the light.
- You can control the power differential between the heads - providing more depth in the shot
One thing you need to watch out for with the MT-24EX though is the harshness of the light. I use Sto-fen diffusers to reduce this. There is also a little known hood for the MP-E 65 that helps here.
Great Info; thanks Kiris!

Research Conflict of Interest
The term "conflict of interest in research" refers to situations in which financial or other personal considerations may compromise, or have the appearance of compromising a researcher's professional judgment in conducting or reporting research.
Federal regulations, state laws and University policies recognize that researchers may have financial interests in research sponsors and/or in entities with business interests closely related to their research.
UNTHSC is committed to ensuring an open and productive environment in teaching, patient care, and research. However, the ever-increasing complexity of our society and the various relationships between researchers and outside institutions require attention to ensure the avoidance of real or apparent conflict of interest issues.
To assist researchers manage and navigate this often complex area, the Office of Research Compliance has developed training programs, policies and procedures to try and keep this "simple but correct."
General Guidance
It is the policy of the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth ("UNTHSC") that no proposed, awarded, or ongoing UNTHSC Research shall be biased by any conflicting interests of UNTHSC Investigators responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of that Research. The Research Conflict of Interest Policy is applicable to all UNTHSC Investigators and applies to all Research regardless of funding. The purpose of this policy is to assure objectivity in Research. Investigators are expected to make reasonable inquiry as to whether their relationships and activities fall within the provisions of this Policy. It is not the intent of this Policy to eliminate or prohibit all situations involving a potential conflict of interest. This Policy is intended to enable Investigators to recognize situations that may pose a conflict of interest, to report these situations to the Research Conflict of Interest Committee ("RCOI Committee"), and to ensure that the RCOI Committee reviews, supervises or monitors these situations, where necessary. An integral part of this Policy is an annual disclosure mechanism whereby Investigators regularly review their activities.
UNTHSC RCOI Training Successful completion of the RCOI Conflict of Interest Training is required once every four years, and when:
- A new Investigator moves to the university
- The university finds that an Investigator is not compliant
- The university revises its RCOI policies or procedures in ways that affect Investigator compliance
Who needs to complete an Annual Disclosure Statement?
All UNTHSC personnel, including, but not limited to, administrators, faculty, staff, post-doctoral fellows, students, interns, or residents, whose institutional responsibilities include the design, conduct, or reporting of Research, funded, or proposed for funding. In addition, Investigators are required to submit an amended Annual Disclosure Statement within 30 days of discovering or acquiring a new Significant Financial Interest or other potential conflicts of interest. The Research Conflict of Interest Policy is intended to maintain the professional autonomy of scientists and physicians inherent in the self-regulation of science.
Federal regulations require the submission of an Annual Research Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement. The submission period for FY2015 will be announced in the Daily News.

X-rays on Damon's right foot negative
Yanks outfielder injured after fouling ball off in Monday's win
TAMPA, Fla. -- Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon had X-rays and an MRI exam taken on his injured right foot at a local hospital on Tuesday. Both were negative.
The 34-year-old outfielder was walking gingerly after fouling a ball off his foot during an at-bat on Monday evening, which came during New York's 4-0 victory over the Reds at Legends Field.
"Johnny just has a bruised toe," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It doesn't feel good and it'll probably be sore. We'll evaluate it every day and determine if he's going to play. It was black and blue today on top of his knuckle on his toe."
Damon had the X-rays and MRI taken at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that Damon will be listed as day-to-day. He was not listed on the club's travel roster for Wednesday's game against the Rays in St. Petersburg.
Damon batted .270 with 12 home runs, 62 RBIs and 27 stolen bases in 141 games for the Yankees last season. In seven Grapefruit League games, he is hitting .316 (6-for-19) with four doubles, two runs scored and one RBI.

Casino games: They're about revenues, not jobs
The first casino bill to make its way in the Legislature this year is House Bill 665, introduced by Rep. Edmond Gionet, R-Lincoln. It would allow the creation of two casinos, "one in the White Mountains and one in a county bordering Massachusetts." Gionet says his bill is all about job-creation.
"This is not a budget bill, and I don't intend it to be one. It's a jobs bill."
No, it's a budget bill. Last year the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies issued a report on expanded gambling in the state. Based on data from other casinos, it estimated that a $500 million destination resort casino in New Hampshire would employ 2,400 people. For some perspective, Elliot Hospital in Manchester employs about 2,800 people.
Casinos would employ a few thousand people, but the direct economic impact would be concentrated in the immediate community. What about the rest of the state? Rep. Gionet says "We've got highways and bridges in really bad shape, and some folks want surcharges on registrations and a gas tax increase to fund that. I don't think so."
The statewide economic impact would come through the use of casino revenues on highway repair and construction. So it is a budget bill after all, not a jobs bill.
Make no mistake, if casinos are allowed in New Hampshire, some jobs would come with them. However, even more jobs would come from reforming our business taxes in ways that encourage more start-ups and relocations. Fidelity Investments' Merrimack campus employs about 5,300 people, more than would be employed by both of Rep. Gionet's casinos combined. When Fidelity closed its Marlborough, Mass., offices last year, it moved those jobs to Merrimack. If New Hampshire concentrated on recruiting more facilities like that, and on making the conditions better for entrepreneurs, we would be far better off than if we pursued a few casinos.
The real reason politicians want casinos is so they can take half of the gaming revenues, vs 8.5 percent of any other business's profits. It's about money, not jobs.

A blunder with the batting order cost the San Francisco Giants a run scored on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Leadoff batter Gregor Blanco started off the bottom of the first with a double off Stephen Fife. Marco Scutaro moved Blanco to third on a sacrifice, and catcher Buster Posey came up after that. Posey knocked in Blanco with an RBI double, but Dodgers manager Don Mattingly noticed something was wrong and protested.
Mattingly recognized that the Giants' official scorecard had Pablo Sandoval batting third and Posey fourth.
Mattingly said something to the umpires before the first pitch to Sandoval. The umps convened and ruled that Posey was out for batting out of order, nullifying the run. Posey then came up again in the proper spot, but he flied out to end the inning.
The rule in question was 6.07 b. Here's the rule (PDF):

How can there be no arrests? It's illegal to drive a motor vehicle on the pavement and surely colliding with a pedestrian warrants a charge of careless driving.

The vehicle appears to be parked on a zigzag approaching a zebra crossing, surely that's an offence. Come to think of it, I wonder if the zebra crossing had anything to do with sudden 'steering failure'?

Well according to the more ignorant, knuckle-dragging anti-cyclists you get on here.
Don't bother arguing with the ignorant, it's pointless.

My Girls Night In party was a week ago already!
I just had so much fun and we thoroughly enjoyed
watching Bridesmaids and sipping on a cocktail.
For this evening we had to have a pink cocktail!
I adore champagne cocktails...oooh my fave for sure,
and perfect for a Parisian inspired event!
This is a super simple recipe and can also be made non alcoholic
by using gingerale, sprite or sparkling water in place of champagne.
by using gingerale, sprite or sparkling water in place of champagne.
- Sparkling Wine (or champagne). When I mix a drink like this I like a good base but I did not go for the super-expensive champagne. I picked a good quality sparkling wine. You can do whatever the heck you want though!
- Bitters (found in the liquor section)
- Sugar cubes
- Pomegranate juice (Pink)
- Rimming sugar, optional
Optional: Ms. Rook No. 17 brought some pink rimming sugar! To use, dampen the rim of the glass, and then dip it in the sugar. Easy-peasy!
*Place 2 sugar cubes in a flute.
*Sprinkle (I prefer to douse, but I like the bitters) the biters on the sugar cubes - start with a few sprinkles and work your way up from there - be sue you find the taste you prefer. Let absorb.
*Add pomegranate juice to top off. Enjoy!
I used these CUTE Canvas Corp Chalk Stock Cards to write the recipe for the cocktail. I wanted to make sure there were instruction available to guests so they could make their own cocktail, or at least know what is in the cocktail.
Have you had a champagne cocktail?
Do you have a favorite champagne beverage?
