Gary Southern, president of Freedom Industries, addressed the media from his company's Charleston plant 24 hours after an undetermined amount of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, which is used in coal washing and preparation, leaked from a containment area into the Elk River and surrounding soil.
Southern, while sipping bottled water, said it had been "an extremely hard day."
Southern said all the material had been moved off the site, and he expressed a sincere apology for the situation.
"Our mission now is to move to the next phase of remediation … taking the contaminated dirt off site," Southern said.
Southern said the leak occurred from 35,000 gallon steel storage tank, and that the facility operates around the clock. He said there are not many long periods of time when the tanks are left unattended.
Southern said the company was aware of the leak at about 10:30 a.m. Jan. 9. The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection issued a statement Jan. 10 saying the company never alerted authorities to the leak. The DEP detected it after area residents reported a foul odor in the area.

It would appear the Cardinals are in no great rush to anoint a starting right cornerback opposite Pro Bowler Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for the coming season. This past week former Bear Trumaine McBride became the third cornerback to rotate into the position, following in the footsteps of Michael Adams and Greg Toler.
"It's kind of up in the air," one team insider said. "I still think it will ultimately be Toler's job to lose; he'd be the starter if I had to pick. He's easily the most gifted with 'DRC'-like skills, but he is young and making the transition from a small college (Saint Paul's in Virginia), so for now they're continuing to rotate."
Our sources believe McBride has a better shot at starting than the undersized Adams, who is considered better suited in a spot role and is pretty much assured of making the team because of his abilities on special teams. As for McBride, word is he has stood out this offseason due to his versatility and competitive nature. "He has played real well, and the team rewarded him last week for working so hard," the insider said.

KANKAKEE, Ill. -- Former Illinois Governor George Ryan was released from prison on Wednesday.
Ryan arrived at his home in Kankakee Wednesday morning after spending more than five years in an Indiana federal prison on corruption charges.
The 78-year-old was released five months before his prison term officially ended.
Ryan was convicted in 2006 of racketeering, conspiracy, tax fraud and making false statements to the FBI.
Ryan was originally supposed to spend time in a Chicago halfway house but according to his attorney and friend Former Governor Jim Thompson, corrections officials were comfortable sending him home.
Ryan's release means that now only one former Illinois governor is behind bars, his successor Rod Blagojevich.
Blagojevich is serving a 14-year term for corruption at a federal prison in Colorado.

From Phil Shuman:
We Can Dream Can't We ?
Put away the brooms, Dodger fans. Yes we were getting a little cocky last nite after Kershaw dominated the Braves in game 1, but tonite, game 2 at the "Ted" was a little different. I was there for every grueling moment of it, from Grienke's cautious start to Hanley's lazy fly ball homer to Dee Gordon being called ( wrongly ) out at second, to Carpenter coming in and blowing away Puig, walking pinch hitter Andre Ethier and striking out the puzzling Carl Crawford to end it. So.. the last to first saga continues... we move back to Chavez Ravine, Sunday nite, 5 ; 07 Pacific, I'll be there for Fox 11, loving every second of it, hoping that some of my enthusiasm rubs off on you.
The Braves fans are kinda fun.. not as rowdy as Dodger fans, which, I don't have to remind you, isn' t necessarily a bad thing. the Ted is big, and loud, and nice, and it's easily accessible right off the main drag, with giant screens and long lines for intersting food, and a decent press box and all that. The tomahawk thing is REALLLLLLLY annoying if you're an out of towner, and I can't believe that in politically correct California that would even fly, but I guess the folks here are used to it , and over it, as are, apparently, the Native Americans.....
Magic was in the stands, next to mystery owner Mark Walter, who I've yet to hear speak more than a word or two... Tommy was there... and a handful of loyal and loud and dedicated Dodger fans.. but tonite was clearly the Braves nite.... It's possible I'm coming back to the A T L for game five now.. and though no one who bleeds Dodger Blue wants that to happen.. if we have to come back, we have to come back.. At least I know my way around a bit. If you've got any great ideas for Dodger stories.. shoot me a tweet or an email via the website... thanks. See you Sun from Dodger Stadium.
Mike Minor slammed his fist into his glove after getting out of a jam with a strikeout. Luis Avilan pumped his arm wildly after escaping another mess with a huge double play.
The Braves were fired up for this one, with good reason.
Atlanta got the win it had to have before heading to Los Angeles.
Minor pitched six strong innings, Jason Heyward had a two-run single and the Braves pulled off some nifty plays in the field, holding off the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 on Friday night to even the NL division series at one game apiece.
In a postseason already marked by defensive miscues all over the place, including some shaky plays by the Braves in Game 1, Atlanta's defense came through by turning three double plays -- none more crucial than the one Avilan started in the seventh to escape the inning with a 2-1 lead intact.
Heyward came through in the bottom half with a two-run single.
Good thing for the Braves, too.
Hanley Ramirez drove in all three runs for the Dodgers, including an impressive show of the strength in the eighth for a two-run homer. He cleared the wall down the left-field line with a one-handed swing off David Carpenter.
Not taking any chances, the Braves went to closer Craig Kimbrel for a rare four-out save. He ended the eighth by retiring Juan Uribe on a groundout, then pitched around two walks in the ninth -- again getting a hand from the defense.
Pinch-runner Dee Gordon attempted to steal, but catcher Gerald Laird unleashed a strong throw that Andrelton Simmons scooped on the short hop while making the tag in one motion, all while blocking Gordon's left hand from bag with his knee.
Laird pumped his fist twice and let out a scream, Gordon was wide-eyed in disbelief at the call. Kimbrel finished it off by striking out Carl Crawford with a 98 mph fastball.
After an off-day, the best-of-five series resumes with two games at Dodger Stadium on Sunday and Monday. A deciding Game 5, if necessary, would be back in Atlanta on Wednesday.

New In Paperback Dec. 3-9
Fiction and nonfiction releases from Alex Berenson, Calvin Trillin, Beth Raymer, Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith.
The Midnight House
Set in a rendition prison in Poland, The Midnight House is former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson's fourth thriller featuring John Wells, a former Dartmouth football player who is the only spook ever to infiltrate al-Qaida. This time, Wells is called out of hibernation by the morally ambiguous Ellis Shafer — "George Smiley as played by Larry David," as Berenson describes him. "The Midnight House is more plausible and cleaner than much of its competition," writes former NPR Executive Editor Dick Meyer, though he warns of a formulaic plot and characters who are "almost interesting, but end up as caricatures." Still, he gives the book's ending high marks "for avoiding the pyrotechnics now demanded by most popular writing and film."
News and Reviews
Van Gogh
The Life
Reflecting on Vincent van Gogh's defining mix of genius and mental illness, biographers Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith describe the artist as "a wayward, battered soul: a stranger in the world ... an enemy to himself." Their account of his life, Van Gogh, has stirred up controversy by disputing the claim of most historians that the artist ended his life in a suicide. NPR critic Michael Schaub found their bold argument convincing, and says the authors also do a "brilliant job of following the Dutch painter's career." According to Schaub, "[T]he book remains an essential, beautifully written look at the man who saw things nobody else ever did — as he himself put it, the 'traveler going somewhere and to some destination ... [that] do not exist.' "

Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin
Forty Years Of Funny Stuff
The past four decades are a lot funnier in the work of Calvin Trillin than they might be in your memory — or anywhere else. In The New Yorker, The Nation and his syndicated column, Trillin has written about food, politics, language and growing up Jewish in Kansas City. Those writings have been collected in an anthology called Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin: Forty Years of Funny Stuff. Trillin tells NPR's Robert Siegel that the terrorism, wars and economic decline of the past decade didn't make it harder for him to find humor. What did make it hard was losing his wife. "I hadn't realized how much — until I started putting this book together — how much of a character she was in all of this, and how I had written it, basically, to make her laugh."
News and Reviews
Lay the Favorite
A Memoir Of Gambling
Beth Raymer's memoir, Lay the Favorite, is about guys sitting in front of computer screens, placing bets, playing the odds and living it up. But it doesn't take place on Wall Street — it takes place in Las Vegas, Curacao, Costa Rica and the high-stakes world of sports betting. Not long out of college in Florida, Raymer tumbled into a world of men who made a livelihood out of their love of sports, their talent for math and, it seems, their inability or aversion to do anything other than what they do, which is sometimes legal and sometimes not. "If there's an addiction explored in my book, it's the addiction to living a life of endless possibility," Raymer tells NPR's Robert Siegel. "The title's kind of ironic, I guess, because it's saying invest yourself in the outcome that appears most certain, and I and the people in my book have an almost pathological aversion to certainty."

"This is a big deal. This is an important development," Carney said at the White House press briefing today, adding that the Senate outline "mirrors" Obama's proposals.
Carney did not say whether Obama would offer his own proposal to complement Congress.
The Senate plan — which is being backed by a bipartisan group of eight Senators — would, among other features, provide a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants currently in the U.S. The proposed legislation would contain certain conditions on improved border security before any path to citizenship. Carney avoided answering a question about whether the President favored tying citizenship to border security.
Obama campaigned on a promise to reform the nation's immigration system, and he has called it a top legislative priority early in his second term. Obama will speak in Nevada about immigration reform on Tuesday.

Athlete of the Week: Russell Bolingbroke
Date: June 17, 2009
by: Jen Blanco | Associate Editor
Russell Bolingbroke has spent nearly half his life competing, but it wasn't until the trampoline phenomenon reached Canada that the 22-year-old finally found his true calling.
Growing up in a family of former gymnasts, Bolingbroke followed in his parents' footsteps and began taking gymnastics at an early age. Although after training for a few years, Bolingbroke realized that gymnastics hadn't fully captured his attention.
After discovering that gymnastics alone wasn't for him, a then-12-year-old Bolingbroke turned his attention to Canada's newest phenomenon — the trampoline.
"You couldn't keep me off of it," said Bolingbroke, who coaches Kids SuperGym's competitive trampoline program. "I really fell into it. I just love the height and it's something unique and different that not a lot of people have seen."
Nicknamed Spiderman, Bolingbroke has been competing in trampoline for the past 10 years. Since then, he has increased his mobility and recently scored high enough to earn his Senior Elite status — the highest level in trampoline.
"It's pretty exciting," Bolingbroke said. "Next year I'm hoping to travel a lot more to some bigger competitions. There's the Elite Challenge and Nationals, and I would like to pursue it all the way to Worlds if I can."
Bolingbroke also plans to begin competing in synchronized trampoline with fellow Canadian Cameron McPherson.
Although trampoline has been Bolingbroke's passion for the last decade, tumbling has recently garnered his attention.
"I'm starting to see a bit of a shift," Bolingbroke said. "I find more challenges in tumbling right now; and when I'm doing really well in something I tend to focus on that."

Q. Did you feel if you were going to win it, you were going to have to win it quicker than you won the US Open given the physical demands of your semifinal?
Q. Could you tell us what happened to your toe and if it restricted you in any way?
Q. Had it been an issue throughout the tournament or just today?
Q. How did you pull up after the Federer match?
Q. Why do you think it took you both so long to get a break in this match? It took over 30 games.
Q. Was it a matter of serving better than usual or not returning as well as usual?
Q. Did the blisters restrict you?
Q. When you talked to the umpire, were you suggesting people that were shouting out maybe be taken out of the court?
Q. Did you have a problem with your left hamstring?
Q. Would it be fair to say you were more upbeat after this than after your other losses here?
Q. Have you had a chance to have a chat with Ivan? And what has he said to you if you have?
Q. The way you and Novak play defense, is being a great offensive player sort of a losing proposition at this point? Roger in some ways is a relic.
Q. You said you felt more comfortable tonight than you did on court at the US Open. In what respect?
Q. Given the long time difference between your semifinal and Novak's, do you think in the future the tournament should look at having semifinals on the same day?
Q. The feather that drifted into the court, did that distract you?
Maybe it wasn't because I obviously double faulted. No, you know, at this level it can come down to just a few points here or there. My probably biggest chance was at the beginning of the second set; didn't quite get it.
Q. Just to be clear, the blister only occurred in this match? It wasn't a remnant from the Federer match or earlier matches?

James Johnson was elected to the City Council on June 8, 2010. James is honored to represent the 7th District of Long Beach—the most diverse district of America's most diverse city.
James Johnson's passion for his hometown started at an early age. With a supportive family and community behind him, he was taught that he could achieve his dreams. James saw that this was possible because of investments that the community had made: a clean and safe neighborhood to grow up in, local parks in which to play soccer and stay fit, and a world-class education provided by Poly High School. James resolved to come back and serve the community which had given him so much, and he moved back to Long Beach soon after finishing his studies.Prior to being elected, he served as the Assistant City Auditor for the City of Long Beach. His focus at the City Auditor's Office was to make our City as efficient and effective as possible in the services it provides to the community. He is proud of the successes that the Office had in protecting City assets, suggesting ways to save taxpayer dollars, and fighting fraud.Prior to working for the City Auditor, James was hired by the City Clerk Department to advise the City on reforming its Charter. Working with the City Council and the community, he helped bring about the first structural charter reform in over twenty years. While at the Department, he also worked on several cost-saving initiatives, such as revising outdated municipal elections requirements to reduce excessive printing charges.Previously, James practiced law at an international law firm in Los Angeles, where he focused on complex and commercial litigation. He also maintained a significant pro bono practice and helped obtain a settlement in a major international slavery and trafficking case. Before attending law school, James served on the campaign for then-Assemblymember Alan Lowenthal and in the policy division of the California Governor's Office.He served for several years on the scholarship committee of the Long Beach Bar Association, the same group that helped him go to college many years ago. He also formerly served on the boards of the Fairfield YMCA and For The Child (an anti-child abuse organization).James has a bachelor's degree in Economics from Harvard University and a law degree from U.C. Berkeley School of Law. He is a graduate of Leadership Long Beach and an Eagle Scout from Long Beach Troop 120. James is a proud homeowner with his wife Nicole Altamirano, who teaches Spanish at Claremont McKenna College.

Smartphone photography buffs might be disappointed, but the ZTE Nubia Mini 5S is a capable, budget-friendly unlocked phone that should prove great for travel.
The iPhone 5S is not a required upgrade, but it's easily the fastest and most advanced Apple smartphone to date.
With emphasis on the Nubia 5S and 5S Mini's camera specs, ZTE's new handsets aim for photo aficionados.

If your iPhone 5/5S has become your go-to video camera, the iOgrapher case helps make your results so much better.
The Logitech Bluetooth keyboard case for the Tab S 10.5 is a compact way to add an extra level of protection to your slate, but the build quality of the keyboard is too cheap to justify its $100/£90 starting price.
Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport inches ahead of the original S5 by combining identical performance in a slightly more polished package.
The handset sports an incredibly slim 5.5mm-thin metal frame, an octa-core processor, a full-HD 5-inch display as well as a Corning Gorilla Glass rear.

While it doesn't play as loud when it's on battery power, the Sony SRS-X5 holds its own against the top Bluetooth speakers in its size and price class.
Though it's only marginally more durable than the original Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 Active's physical buttons and high-end features keep it in Samsung's hit parade.
There may be no Android, but Samsung's Z phone running its in-house Tizen operating system looks enough like the Galaxy S5's custom interface to easily get around.

Patients at NCH got a huge treat Tuesday. Superman, Spiderman and Batman put on quite the show while cleaning the windows there. We caught up with those superheroes, who cheered up a bunch of kids just in time for Halloween!
Six stories above the ground, the swinging superheroes were on a mission to create memories for the patients at Naples Community Hospital who won't be able to celebrate Halloween this year.
"They were loving it. Smiles, laughs, pointing, lots of picture taking," said Nate Starkweather, with the Clean-Up Group.
"People were kind of just in their zone, then when you drop down they just have a big smile on their face and it was really cool to see," added Tommy Hubbell, also with the Clean-Up Group.
From her hospital bed on the fourth floor, Fran Drahuse says she looked out her window and thought she was hallucinating.
"I was sitting here watching television, I heard clank, clank and I'm looking and wow there's Batman! It kind of surprised me he was swinging around here," she said. "I thought, am I in Never Never Land? What's going on here?"
Members of the Clean-Up Group team say they really got into their characters.
"We'd swing around and do the Superman punch through the air and everybody would do their character moves - it was fun. I think I might have enjoyed it more than the kids," said Hubbell. We snapped a picture as it was happening Tuesday and posted it to the NBC2 Facebook page, where it quickly went viral. In fact, more than 12,000 people have "liked" the image more than 80,000 people have seen it!
But the hanging heroes say despite all the attention, at the end of the day, they're just regular guys goofing off for a good cause.
"I don't think of myself as a superhero but to make people laugh and smile when they're down on their luck I think it's a good thing to do," Hubbell said.
"That's really nice that they do that for the kids. It makes it pleasant for some of these poor, really sick kids," Drahuse said.
Other patients and hospital staff we spoke to say the superheroes really turned their day around and left a big smile on everybody's face.

LIME gives away 13 Samsung Galaxy S III on Facebook hunt
TELECOMS provider, LIME, yesterday launched for its online fans a Facebook Timeline Olympic Treasure Hunt Competition.
Scheduled to run from 16 July to 23 July, the competition will gift 39 lucky fans with 12 Samsung Galaxy SIIIs, 12 gift certificates for 50 per cent off any Samsung product, 12 gift certificates for 20 per cent off any Samsung product and a Samsung Galaxy Tab II.
Rooted in the concept of hunting for hidden clues, the competition excites fans in all of LIME's 13 markets by posting Olympic-themed clues on its Facebook fan page timelines at noon and 5:00 pm respectively for seven days. Each territory will have its own set of clues based on information that exists on its timeline.
The first fan in each territory that correctly solves all clues on the seventh day will win a Samsung Galaxy SIII, the official handset of the 2012 Olympic Games. The second and third place winners will get a gift certificate for 50 per cent off any Samsung product and a gift certificate for 20 per cent off any Samsung product respectively.
A Samsung Galaxy Tab II will be awarded to the first and fastest fan to correctly solve all the clues across the LIME territories.
Kalando Wilmoth, Regional Head of Corporate Communications at LIME said that his company is deeply committed to bringing the best Olympic experience to customers across the region and this competition is just one of the many ways that the company will do this.
Commented Wilmoth: "The Caribbean's history with the Olympics has been long, glorious and rich; something we are obviously proud and passionate about. Our Facebook Treasure Hunt will give new and long-time fans of the games a chance to learn and relive some of these glorious moments in our history. And at the end of the day there are some really awesome prizes to walk away with. This is just another dynamic and social way we are bringing the excitement of the London Games to our customers."
LIME is the official telecoms broadcast sponsor of the 2012 Olympic Games in Jamaica, powering the live coverage on CVM-TV and the lifestyle coverage on TVJ and the Jamaica Observer.

CATEGORIES MoviesIn Michael Bay's latest film, the "Bad Boys" director has gone from guns to guns.
Based on Pete Collins's Miami New Times series, "Pain & Gain," Bay's professed "dark comedy," follows a pair of Floridian musclemen (Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson) who get mixed up in a doomed kidnapping.
The movie has been gestating for years. Bay told MTV in 2009 -- when "Pain & Gain" was just a twinkle in his eye -- that he had hopes of doing a smaller production, which he described as "a 'Pulp Fiction'-type of movie."
Paramount has released the first teaser poster for the film, which you can check out below. "Pain & Gain" starring Wahlberg, Johnson, Ed Harris, Rebel Wilson, Ken Jeong, Anthony Mackie and Rob Corddry will muscle its way to theaters April 12, 2013.

The 25 Best Emmy Awards Dresses
The 25 Best Emmy Awards Dresses
When awards season ends, we go into a bit of red carpet withdrawal. Luckily, the Emmy Awards swoop in just when we're feeling our least glam, and they never fail to bring out some seriously gorgeous gowns. This roundup of the best Emmy dresses of the 2000s (so far!) proves that although the screen is small, TV-star style is anything but.SEE MORE
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Kerry Washington, 2012Has Kerry Washington ever not killed it on the red carpet? The Scandal star owned every inch of this sequined Vivienne Westwood dress—Olivia Pope would totally approve.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Allison Williams, 2012All eyes were on the Girls cast at the 2012 Emmys, and Allison Williams arrived on the red carpet styled to impress. Her Oscar de la Renta gown checked off two major trends—emerald green and a peplum—and Marnie, er, Allison rocked them both.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Emilia Clarke, 2012Forget the Game of Thrones gowns; Emilia Clarke wears Chanel like a boss (or, rather, like a Khaleesi). Her fun tea-length dress was a nice change of pace in a sea of floor-length gowns.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Tina Fey, 2012Remember that time people thought funny women can't be gorgeous? Yeah, neither do we. Tina Fey looked better than ever in this wine-color Vivienne Westwood stunner.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Leslie Mann, 2012Sometimes, it pays to be different. Leslie Mann's full-skirted Naeem Khan gown looked like nothing else we saw on the red carpet—just one more reason to love it (and her).
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Halle Berry, 2005
Simplicity is the key to Halle Berry's 2005 Emmy dress. The tranquil blue Ungaro number stunned but didn't compete with her movie-star beauty.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Jennifer Aniston, 2004
Jennifer Aniston looked comfy and confident in this beaded Chanel column dress. Boho waves, statement earrings, and a megawatt smile helped the star's signature laid-back style show through.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Blake Lively, 2009
Yowza! Before Angelina Jolie's leg caused a red carpet sensation, Blake Lively's stem (and the rest of her too) commanded attention in this beyond-sexy Versace stunner.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Archie Panjabi, 2011
The Good Wife star Archie Panjabi rocked emerald Angel Sanchez in 2011, and the flawless fit, color, and accessories made for one flattering red carpet look.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Eva Longoria, 2006
Eva Longoria has a history of wearing short dresses to the Emmys, but this floaty, white Jason Wu is our fave. A little retro and a lot flirty, Eva's look was daring in the best way.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Ali Larter, 2007
Who wants to wear a stuffy gown when you can basically wear pajamas? OK, very glamorous pajamas, but still. In this sleek satin Reem Acra dress, Ali Larter showed us that relaxed doesn't have to mean sloppy.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Claire Danes, 2012Homeland star (and Emmy Award collector) Claire Danes was definitely golden in this Lanvin gown. Oh, and did we mention she was about six months pregnant at the time? Girl looked good.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Lea Michele, 2011
Lea Michele had us at goodbye in this Marchesa gown. The shoulder details and back-cowl were unexpected and totally sultry.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Keri Russell, 2000
Back in 2000, Keri Russell distracted everyone from that famous haircut with the ultimate old-Hollywood-inspired gown by Armani. The plunging neckline, sparkle factor, and just-clingy-enough fit made us all forget about those MIA Felicity curls.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Kim Kardashian, 2010
Why was Kim Kardashian at the Emmys? We're still not sure. But we're definitely smitten with the cool, ethereal Marchesa frock she wore to the ceremony.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: January Jones, 2009
We can always count on January Jones to take a major risk on the red carpet. In her daring Versace dress, the Mad Men actress shed her Betty Draper persona for a look that was all modern.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Calista Flockhart, 2006
A black one-shoulder gown would usually make our been-there-done-that list, but the cool leather belt and sheerness make Calista Flockhart's Derek Lam dress fresh and exciting.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Sarah Jessica Parker, 2003
Who else but Sarah Jessica Parker could wear a dress inspired by cotton candy and look so chic? The frothy Chanel confection is one of the most memorable (in a good way!) looks we've seen.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Leighton Meester, 2009
Is that Leighton Meester or Aphrodite? The Gossip Girl actress looked like a goddess in this Bottega Veneta gown, and those gold cuffs add just the right amount of Wonder Woman-esque toughness.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Evangeline Lilly, 2006
All it took was one glance at Evangeline Lilly's regal Versace dress and we completely fell in love. The pleated details and fitted bodice showed off Evangeline's killer figure for maximum hotness.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Rose Byrne, 2009
And this is how you do a princess moment. With a skirt that big and embellishments that sparkly, Rose Byrne smartly chose to keep the color tame in this champagne Valentino gown.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Ginnifer Goodwin, 2009
Not too many celebs would dare to wear fuchsia on the red carpet, but Ginnifer Goodwin went for it and looked completely sophisticated at that. The dress paired with her signature pixie cut and smoldering stare might add up to the best Ginny's ever looked!
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Olivia Wilde, 2008
When Olivia Wilde shows up on the red carpet, we know we're in for a sartorial treat. This vaguely medieval Reem Acra dress was incredibly romantic and showcased her covetable waist.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Christina Hendricks, 2010
Christina Hendricks has those amazing curves that just rock a dress, doesn't she? The pretty pastel shade and feathers (those fluttery sleeves!) made this va-va-voom Zac Posen dress seem like a ton of fun to wear, too.
Best Emmy Awards Dress: Kelly Osbourne, 2011
We can't rave enough about Kelly Osbourne in this asymmetrical J. Mendel gown—it's just so glamorous! And pairing the deep aubergine dress with the platinum hair? Genius.

Has anyone else not been able to change their email in their personal settings???
I was finally able to get into my account after reading the sticky that my username had been changed to @symbiansigned which is also listed as my email address. But I can't change my email address cause it's disabled for some reason.
Also, what is up with simply throwing away previously granted manufacturer capabilities... This is just such a disappointment. I keep trying to defend Nokia and Symbian but it's things like this that just accelerate the developer exodus to Apple and Google. Can't nokia do things that just work!?????

I will have a breakdown of the 2012/2013 FSU targets to watch for in each game. 7 p.m. Class 1A — Chipley vs. Jefferson County (Monticello) These teams play in lowest classification in Florida. Not that much talent in this game. Chipley- The man to watch for Chipley HS is OT Cole Western, who is a little bit of a sleeper for the 2013 class. He has pretty good size at 6'4 270lbs. He is a D-1 player in my mind. Junior Highlights here Jefferson County- From what I have seen Jefferson County has no D-1 players for the 2013 class. Saturday, Dec. 10: 1 p.m. Class 3A — American Heritage (Delray Beach) vs. Madison County (Madison) American Heritage- FSU targets: #4 2013 RB Greg Bryant- The top 2013 RB in Florida, Greg Bryant will be playing in this game. Bryant already claims offers from top schools like Alabama, LSU, FSU, and Oklahoma. FSU visited him last week. Great size, feet, power, agility and good not great speed is what Bryant offers at RB. He is a coaches son who knows the game very well. Bryant has very impressive stats on the year. He's rushed for 1,933 yards (averaging 11.6 yards per carry) and 22 touchdown Junior Highlights of Greg Bryant: Here #55 2013 OT Roderick Johnson- Sleeper alert. While Johnson is not rated by any services, this is a guy who has the potential to be a top 30 player in Florida this time next year. He is 6'4 280lbs and has great feet for the tackle position. Johnson also claims a 4.87 40 while this probably isn't accurate, it's easy to see he is a great athlete for a big man. A BCS recruit who will see a lot of offers come his way this spring. Junior Highlights of Johnson: Here Not FSU targets, but talented players: #80 2013 TE Tyler Provo- Already has a BCS offer from Syracuse. A little undersized at 6-2 220lbs. BCS type player Highlights of Provo: Here #8 2012 WR Cameron Posey- Has a couple BCS offer(Illinois, Purdue). Good sized WR that doesn't have great speed. 2013 ATH Marcus Davis- No offers yet. Good athlete, but is undersized. Player to watch going forward. 2014 WR Darrell Langham - Good sized WR at 6'3 185lbs who has some potential. Player to watch being only a Sophomore Madison County 2013 ATH Tommie Young- Good sized RB at 6'1 210lbs that could project at another position(FB/LB) at the next level. I have only seen a little of Young play this year so I'm interested to watch a full game. Highlights of Young: here 2014 RB Deonshay Wells- Probably the best prospect on their team from what I have seen. While undersized he is still only a Sophomore. Probably a BCS type player once he adds more size. Plays for same HS as FSU RB Chris Thompson Highlights of Wells here 7 p.m. Class 4A — Booker T. Washington (Miami) vs. Bolles (Jacksonville) Booker T. Washington FSU targets #6 2013 LB Matthew Thomas - A top 20 player in Florida for 2013. This is a 6'3 210lb prospect who can run(sub 4.6 40). Athletically he reminds me of FSU LB commit Markuss Eligwe. Big time prospect who has multiple BCS offers already. On the year Thomas has 98 tackles with 13 sacks. Highlights of Thomas here More highlights of Thomas here #72 2013 OT Denver Kirkland- Another top 30 prospect in Florida for 2013. Has multiple BCS offers. Athletic OT prospect with good feet. Kirkland has been a part of the offensive line since his freshman year and has good size Sophomore Highlight of Kirkland: Here Other top players #5 2014 ATH Treon Harris- Son of coach Tim "Ice" Harris(UM grad). Sophomore who will need to add more weight to be a BCS recruit. Harris on the year rushed for 868 yard with 18 TD's, while adding 1,400 yard and 14 TD"s passing. #1 2014 WR Lamar Parker- This undersized Sophomore WR has been getting it done since his freshman year. Very shifty, with good speed. If he can gain some height/weight has a good chance to be a BCS recruit by his senior year. Stats on the year 30 catches for 467 yards and 5 TD's. Freshman Highlights: Here #30 2013 S Michael Johnson- A little undersized but shows good hips/speed on film. This game will be a good test to see if he is a D-1 player or BCS. Has 4 interceptions on the year #2 2013 CB Darren Parker- Parker didn't progress as much this year as I would have hoped hope for. 5'10 CB with good hips. Has some potential. Sophomore highlight here Booker T has a great 2014 class to watch out for in this game. Bolles 2014 ATH Dexter Carter, Jr- Yes, the son of FSU RB Dexter Carter. He has very good speed for only being a Sophomore. Needs to adds some size, but from a athletic standpoint has the potential to be a BCS recruit. 2012 OT John Theus- UGA commit and top 2 player in Florida for 2012. Not much needs to be said about this great player. 2012 OT Jon Heck- UNC commit. Big fan of this massive OT prospect.

Tobacco Worse Than Cocaine?
Posted by dlende on May 27, 2009
By Mariana Cuervo, Elizabeth Montana, Brian Smith, and Sadie Pitzenberger
Is your local gas station attendant a drug dealer? Most people would say no, yet he readily deals all day long with customers looking for their next nicotine fix. Nicotine, the addictive substance in tobacco, keeps its users hooked.
Even though most people do not consider tobacco to be a drug, this post will show that it is exactly that. Tobacco delivers similar neurobiological effects as illegal substances like cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana, all more commonly associated with the word "drug." With tobacco, however, advertising and the law contribute to the common perception that tobacco is not a drug.
Tobacco Products
Just like on the street corner, where you might be able to buy crack, marijuana or meth, a gas station offers different types of drugs. Tobacco itself comes in many forms: dip, snuff, cigars and, of course cigarettes.
Chewing tobacco or "dip" is a smokeless form of tobacco, which when packed into the lip allows nicotine to flow into the bloodstream via the gum line. Snuff, a finer form of tobacco, is snorted while cigarettes are smoked. Both provide an alternative way to get a nicotine high.
The ways in which these tobacco products are consumed mirror the techniques of cocaine consumption – coca leaves are chewed, cocaine is snorted, and crack is smoked. So how is tobacco different?
And just like marijuana tobacco is grown in the ground, picked and dried, and then rolled into cigars and cigarettes. Tobacco has nicotine while marijuana has tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Both are responsible for getting the user high.
Cigarettes, the most widely used form of tobacco, contain many harmful additives, including those that cause cancer and other health-related complications. Many of the oral complications associated with tobacco use are similar to those found in the mouths of meth users. Tooth decay and gum disease are unpleasant side effects of both drugs. Tobacco, however, has been proven to cause mouth and throat cancer.
So, why is it that you are considered a drug addict because you smoke meth but not if you smoke cigarettes?
A Puff Is All It Takes: Drugs and the Brain
All major drugs, including cocaine, marijuana and nicotine, affect many functions of the central nervous system. Within just ten seconds of taking a puff, nicotine impacts you.
The central nervous system regulates the release of neurotransmitters, which act as messengers that the brain uses to communicate to the rest of the body. This process is sensitive. An overload of a certain neurotransmitter will result in a slower release of that neurotransmitter. At the same time, too little of one will result in an increase in production. The introduction of a foreign substance into the body results in a change in the system.
Although the body regulates neurotransmitters, it cannot control foreign substances like drugs. This process applies to illegal and legal drugs alike. Over time, the body gets used to having the added substance in its system. After a period of use, the body changes the way it functions to adjust for the drug. After quitting, however, the body has the ability to readjust itself and return to normal functioning. This adjustment produces the withdrawal symptoms most people experience.
The dopamine system is one of the main systems responsible for the addiction that accompanies most drugs. All major drugs including nicotine directly or indirectly impact this system.
Multiple regions of the brain are part of the dopamine system, and are affected as follows:
• Ventral tegmental area (VTA) – helps drive the search for the substance
• Nucleus accumbens – involved in the desire felt for the drug
• Prefrontal cortex – linked to shifts in attention to preparing and consuming the drug
Nicotine increases the level of dopamine in the brain, thus increasing the level of reward experienced by the user. The effect of nicotine on the brain, however, is relatively short, and so can help create repeated cravings. Given the similar neurobiological effects of illegal drugs and tobacco, nicotine is a drug.
Advertising: Tobacco's Biggest Advantage?
Tobacco is not just a drug, it's a super drug. Both its legal status and advertisements have created an illusion that tobacco is not a drug. As such, billions of dollars have been invested in tobacco campaigns to make the drug an everyday product. Illegal drugs cannot operate with large-scale advertising campaigns.
Using television and radio until 1969, when such forms of tobacco advertising were effectively outlawed, and still with continued print and open-air advertising, tobacco companies have had ample time to convince Americans that their products are not drugs. Their ultimate goal is to get people addicted without thinking that they are drug addicts.
Throughout the 1950's and 60's, tobacco companies focused their advertising dollars on luring Americans toward cigarettes. As is still done today, they created a slew of different ads that spoke separately to men, women and youth. The ads show good looking men and women, and do not depict what most Americans would think of when they think of drug users.
The different ads may speak to different demographics, but they all work towards five goals:
1) keep smokers smoking
2) convince people who quit to start again
3) increase the number of cigarettes people smoke each day
4) convince young people to start
5) portray cigarettes as something that is cool and not drug-like
Although their ad space changed in the wake of Congress's ban via the Public Health and Smoking Act (PHSA), tobacco companies still spend billions of dollars every year working towards convincing people that tobacco is not a drug. After all, drugs are looked down upon in society, and tobacco companies stand to lose a lot of money if their consumers think of themselves as drug addicts when using their products.
An amendment in 1984 to the PHSA, which required tobacco companies to include one of four warnings on both products and advertisements, didn't seem to diminish their spending efforts either. In 2005 (most recent numbers available), tobacco companies spent an estimated $13.4 billion in advertisements, a 94% increase since 1998.
In addition to magazines, billboards, and newspapers, tobacco companies benefit from sale advertisements posted at gas stations and other markets.
But why is it that tobacco companies need to advertise such a highly addictive substance? Some people may think that cigarettes and other tobacco products have the ability to sell themselves. Without the advertising efforts of tobacco companies, however, people may begin to recognize the similarities tobacco shares with cocaine, heroine and meth.
The current and rising health concerns have created a sort of competition for tobacco companies. They now find that they are competing among themselves for a diminishing market. Anti-smoking laws and campaigns alike have slowly but surely been replacing the tobacco advertisements that used to appear on television and radio, educating the public on the harmful and potentially lethal effects of the drug nicotine. Surely tobacco companies fear that with this growing public awareness they may not only lose customers, but the rights to advertise on all mediums.
The Truth Campaign is one of the most effective anti-smoking campaigns currently running advertisements against the use of tobacco products, and especially cigarettes. Aimed at the youth population, the Truth Campaign is a creative and thought-provoking crusade to convince younger generations that smoking is not cool.
Tobacco and the Law
Growing awareness of the harmful effects of tobacco has continually been reflected in U.S. law. Restrictions have been placed not only on tobacco advertisements, but also on the public's use of nicotine containing products. Scientific studies have made the harmful and drug-like side effects of nicotine obvious, and lawmakers have been responding to these findings.
Aside from the age restriction, the federal government has granted states the right to regulate the use of tobacco products. The government mandates that the buying and selling age of tobacco is 18. Still, states have the right to increase or decrease this age limit, but dipping below leads to a loss of any FEMA funds. In light of this law, states like Alabama, Alaska, New Jersey, Texas and Utah have raised the buy/sell age to 19. The age law recognizes that nicotine should be treated like the drug that it is.
Further legal actions have been taken with concern for the health of both smokers and nonsmokers alike (for the latest updates, click on the map). As early as 1973, Florida became the first state to pass a law that restricted smoking in public places. Other states have since followed suit, and enacted even more public prohibitions on smoking. Effective as of 2008, California passed a law prohibiting smoking while in a car with minors present.
Smoking = Doing Drugs?
Despite evidence from scientists and the support of recent laws, tobacco's history as a harmless social pastime has hindered its acceptance of the view that it is a drug. No one looks at their local gas station attendant and sees a drug dealer. A quick stop for gas, milk and a pack of cigs seems in no way to mirror a stop at the local crack house. Yet in both cases a drug deal has gone down.
The increasing health concerns and the actions of lawmakers have become cause for concern among tobacco companies. We believe that the next step in reducing tobacco consumption is to make the public aware that tobacco is not only harmful, but that it is a drug just like cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana. The label "drug" brings with it certain negative social connotations that may be even more effective than laws themselves. In the true nature of a drug, tobacco affects the neurobiological functions of its users, and should not be thought of as anything other than a drug.

Great information and I loved the way you laid it out. I've always thought of Nicotine as just a legal drug. Much in the same way alcohol is. When it comes down to brain chemistry, illegal drugs and nicotine alter the normal chemistry of the brain including "addictive" pathways such as dopamine and whatever other complex systems are involved. The only difference being a cultural history combined with social acceptance. With Nicotine, one can still function relatively normally as opposed to cocaine or methamphetamine. The latter of which would throw somebody right outside of the social acceptance circle. I'm a smoker trying to quit so I'm a little peeved that such a nasty addictive substance could be marketed and targeted towards younger people and ultimately result in the same mess I'm in as I try to quit.

YES tobacco is a drug, but it won't socially be accepted that way, because it does not alter your state of mind like street drugs do.

We filled out the request for fruit in our room, but it was never delivered and we never received another request card for it.
My husband was quarantined for 24 hours and we did not receive the services of a room steward for more than 48 hours. We finally had to make a special request for more towels and removal of room service items.
We were also promised free laundry service because of the quarantine. I requested a bag for laundry and was given a little paper bag that ripped as soon as I put something in it. I found another bag (cloth tote bag) to use and waited for someone to come back and pick it up. That never happened. I wound up doing the laundry myself and spent $10.50 on it. I was afraid that if I called for pickup after waiting all day, we wouldn't see our laundry returned before the end of the cruise.
My husband's scuba diving knife was confiscated for the first time ever on a cruise. There were very few opportunities for diving, which was also a disappointment.
We will probably not cruise with Princess again. At least not for a while. I will check the reviews and see if anyone mentions the service improving.

Survivors of the Holocaust are sharing their stories on Edison State College's campus this week.
The school's Holocaust Memorial Week features events that honor the victims and survivors of the Holocaust and educate the community.
Rosette Gerbosi is one of the featured speakers chosen to tell her tale of survival.
Her recount of hiding out in Nazi-occupied France was told in an Edison State lecture hall on Wednesday.
She says sharing her story is an important part of educating people on the Holocaust.
"Reach the children, the youngsters because it's apart of history," she says.
Outside the lecture hall, visitors can tour a restored WWII era boxcar on loan from the Holocaust Museum of Southwest Florida.
The boxcar was once used to transport people to death camps during the Holocaust.
"It brings a lot of emotion because I know my parents were transported in that," says Rosette.
Students read about the boxcar's horrific details and how it was used to aid the Nazi's in killing more than six million Jews.
"80 to 100 people would be packed into a boxcar this size," says professor JoAnn Lewin.
Edison State organizers say they hope the memorial sheds light on other genocides happening around the world.
"To inspire our students to go out and be forceful and say never again and take action so these genocides will be eliminated," says Lewin.
Speakers are scheduled through Friday at Edison State. The boxcar will only be open to the public through 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Staff, staff, staff. Makes all the difference.
Slow elevator, but its NYC.
Apart from The air conditioner in room 3003 was very loud at times and woke me up.
A bit old , need renovation. No free wifi in the room.
The rooms were bigger than expected and the hotel had a great atmosphere.
The elevators were small so staying on a lower level meant they were often already full when they arrived on your floor.
The location
Poor breakfast buffet. No coffee maker or slippers at the room even that it is included with the room amenities. You have to ask for them from the housekeeping. I changed my room and the new one didn't have a bath robe!! Not very clean bathrooms. I found a towel with blood on it.
location beautiful building lovely room
Excellent management. Problems resolved quickly and efficiently. Location is perfect for NYC.
Some renovation work did interrupt our sleep during the stay, but management did offer a small credit for the inconvenience. Inconsistent service from the door men. Some were very helpful, some were not.
The friendly staff (especially the bell staff), the lovely room, the great breakfasts at Murals on 54th, the proximity to the things I love to do, the food, drink and delightful servers at Randolphs -- I like everything! I have been staying at the Warwick since 1976 and do not intend to stop choosing it as #1 in NYC!
architecture of the building
everything below expectations. Bad behavior upon check in, not even a welcome. they charged me 700 usd for security deposit, for 7 nights. Very Noisy ac unit. Don't book the "plus" rooms with the view (there is no view) There are many better hotels in nyc and much cheaper. And with free wifi.
The suite, especially on New York standards, was very large. Bedroom was quite big and beautifully appointed. Living room was also large. Very comfortable beds and linens. Lovely front desk staff and concierge. Can't beat the location for access to Central Park, restaurants, museums, shopping, Rockefeller Center etc.
Elevators very small but not a big deal. Bathroom was small but modernized.
Staff was very friendly & helpful. Able to check our bags before room check in time. Also able to check our bags after room check out time. Room was large & nicely decorated. Bed was most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in.
Nothing against the Warwick, but we should have chosen an hotel that was more centrally located to the sites we wanted to see.
Location and suite size.
Poor front desk staff need lot of training.
The location was great with easy access to Times Square and subway stations to all major tourist attractions.
The staff were a little pompous. Also the shower was difficult to use.
Very friendly & helpful staff. Clean & spacious rooms. Good location.
Expensive breakfast
Great location / staff very nice
Bellman and doorman were on top of things and very courteous and welcoming. The linens and beds were comfortable. Closet was well laid out, with an ironing board. Room was spacious and well appointed. There were many restaurants, subway stops and other amenities, including Central Park, the MoMA and Broadway, close by, yet once you entered the doors, hotel provided an oasis from the daily bustle of the City.
Be careful with the shower curtain to keep water off the floor. Wish there were a coffee pot/water warmer. Mini fridge is for the hotel's products only. If you remove any items to insert a doggie bag, a sensor will be alerted and you will be charged for the item. (Of course the hotel reversed the charges.) The hotel will provide a fridge for your room upon request.
Hotel itself was gorgeous and the staff could not have been more helpful.
The restaurant there that served breakfast was a little unorganized. The food was great but the service was sub par.
Great location, staff was very helpful and friendly, gave us good recommendations for restaurants, very clean.
No tea or coffee making facilities in the bedroom
The bed is comfortable and the new furnishings very attractive. The hotel is very well located-close to Broadway as well as the park.
There was no coffee maker in the room for a late night drink.
The aesthetic beauty of the hotel and the room. Accommodating and friendly staff.
Would like a fan (blower) in the bathroom, and a coffee pot in the room.
A beautiful Art Deco hotel. Small. Intimate and old fashioned with a touch of luxury,
Small elevators but they fit the feel of the hotel
Wonderful central location and old-style elegant property. Bed was so comfortable and staff was great.
Bathroom was a bit small, but common for an older hotel.
I stayed at the Warwick for the first time 20 years ago and loved it. It never disappointed me. This time I didn't like the room they gave us and requested to be changed. The staff was very accommodating and gave us a much better location. The hotel is renovated and clean, the rooms have a decent size (for Manhattan standards) and it's a great value for the money. Of course, it's location couldn't be better! loved it!
This hotel was amazing. We stayed there for 10 days so our suite was upgraded. All our needs were met immediately. The suite was huge. Definitely worth the extra money if you're traveling with small children who require some space to run around. The hotel is in prime location. It is clean and comfortable.
The elevators take a while to get to you. If you are on the lower floors there often isn't room for you to get in. I'm guessing this is a peak season issue. The bathtub is small and it is a bit hard to shower smaller children. Also, from other reviews, rooms don't always come with a bathtub so we called and requested a room with tub ahead of time. Other than that everything was perfect.

Cardiff Research into Advanced Neuroimaging Methods (CRANIUM's) aim is to stimulate the next phase of development of neuroimaging methodology for translational neuroscience applications in human health and disease.
The hub of CRANIUM is the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) with its human brain imaging techniques all under one roof: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography (MEG), Electroencophalography (EEG) and Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
CRANIUM addresses three themes:
* Integration of multiple neuroimaging modalities
* Experimentally informed mathematical modelling of brain structure and function
* Enhanced image quantitation
The doctoral research projects will be experimentally focussed with a strong bias towards physical science methodology applied to biological systems. Two projects will be available per year. Students will be jointly supervised by one supervisor in Psychology and one supervisor either in Biosciences or Medicine or Mathematics.
The programme will prepare postgraduates for a research career in biomedical imaging and neuroscience, with the flexibility to take on new techniques as they develop. Beyond academic research, there is increasing demand for experts who understand the measurement techniques applied to biological systems in the biotech, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.
