Understanding NVP and morning sickness
Important facts about NVP and morning sickness
NVP is a medical condition commonly called morning sickness and can affect up to 85% of pregnant women.1,3-6 NVP stands for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Despite the name morning sickness, 95% of women with NVP experience symptoms beyond the morning hours.3

- NVP typically starts between the 4th and 6th weeks of pregnancy3
- Approximately 10% of the cases last beyond the 16th week3

PUQE score
Check the potential severity of your NVP, commonly referred to as morning sickness1
You could be one of the up to 85% of women who may suffer from nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP).3-6 If you have NVP, a standardized questionnaire called the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE) may be used by healthcare providers to help track your symptoms.10 The PUQE score is not a diagnosis of NVP. It is for informational purposes only. You should consult with your healthcare provider about your symptoms and score.
The PUQE score below can help you learn the potential severity of your NVP. Check the answer that best describes how you've been feeling during the last 24 hours. Remember that this score is not a diagnosis of NVP. Talk to your healthcare provider about your answers at your next office visit.

Safety and side effects
Diclegis® is the only FDA-approved Pregnancy Category A treatment for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Pregnancy Category A means that a medicine has been tested in pregnant women and their babies did not have any problems related to using the medicine11
Understanding FDA Pregnancy Categories11
The FDA created pregnancy letter categories to help explain what is known about using medicine during pregnancy. The FDA chooses a medicine's letter category based on what is known about the medicine when used in pregnant women and animals. The letter category is listed in the label of a prescription medicine. The label states whether studies were done in pregnant women or pregnant animals and if so, what happened.
Side effects
The most common Diclegis side effect is drowsiness.
Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or engage in other activities that need your full attention unless your healthcare provider says that you may do so.
Do not drink alcohol, or take other central nervous system depressants such as cough and cold medicines, certain pain medicines, and medicines that help you sleep while you take Diclegis.
Severe drowsiness can happen or become worse causing falls or accidents.
Diclegis® Savings Offer
Most patients with commercial insurance coverage should expect to pay as little as $30 for a prescription.

Diclegis® is indicated for the treatment of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy in women who do not respond to conservative management.
Limitations of Use
Diclegis has not been studied in women with hyperemesis gravidarum.
Important Safety Information
Do not take Diclegis if you are allergic to doxylamine succinate, other ethanolamine derivative antihistamines, pyridoxine hydrochloride, or any of the ingredients in Diclegis. You should also not take Diclegis in combination with medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), as these medicines can intensify and prolong the adverse CNS effects of Diclegis. Use of MAOIs may also prolong and intensify the anticholinergic (drying) effects of antihistamines.
The most common side effect of Diclegis is drowsiness. You should avoid engaging in activities requiring complete mental alertness, such as driving or operating heavy machinery, while using Diclegis until cleared to do so by your healthcare provider.
Do not take Diclegis with alcohol or sedating medicines, including other antihistamines (present in some cough and cold medications), opiates, or sleep aids, because severe drowsiness can happen or become worse, causing falls or accidents.
Diclegis should be used with caution in women who have: (1) asthma, (2) increased pressure in the eye, (3) an eye problem called narrow angle glaucoma, (4) a stomach problem called stenosing peptic ulcer, (5) pyloroduodenal obstruction, or (6) a bladder problem called bladder-neck obstruction.
Fatalities have been reported from doxylamine overdose in children. Children appear to be at a high risk for cardiorespiratory arrest. However, the safety and effectiveness of Diclegis in children younger than 18 years have not been established.
Diclegis is a delayed-release formulation; therefore, signs and symptoms of intoxication may not be apparent immediately. Signs and symptoms of overdose may include restlessness, dryness of mouth, dilated pupils, sleepiness, vertigo, mental confusion, and tachycardia. If you suspect an overdose or seek additional overdose information, you can contact a poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
The FDA granted Diclegis Pregnancy Category A status, which means that the results of controlled studies have not shown increased risk to an unborn baby during pregnancy.
Women should not breast-feed while using Diclegis because the antihistamine component (doxylamine succinate) in Diclegis can pass into breast milk. Excitement, irritability, and sedation have been reported in nursing infants presumably exposed to doxylamine succinate through breast milk. Infants with apnea or other respiratory syndromes may be particularly vulnerable to the sedative effects of Diclegis resulting in worsening of their apnea or respiratory conditions.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Generation X-ers: Want to feel old? Kenneth Cole, 59, is celebrating 30 years in the fashion business. The NYC-based shoe designer-turned-lifestyle brand is marking the milestone with a sleek Rizzoli coffee table book, This Is A Kenneth Cole Production. The literary time capsule illustrates Cole's climb to the top, starting with clippings about the young footwear designer who was intent on being a lawyer until he spent a summer working at his father's Brooklyn shoe factory.
Flip through for more retro images of Cole's first freestanding store on Columbus Avenue, various runway models in his sophisticated yet wearable creations and envelope-pushing ads campaigns featuring faces from all walks of media, from Hasidic rapper Matisyahu and Tammy Faye Bakker to Gen. Manuel Noriega and Newt Gingrich.
We talked to Cole, who has been doing the local rounds. On Thursday, the married father of three (his wife is producer Maria Cuomo, daughter of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo) talked to a crowd at UM's Storer Auditorium. On Saturday, the avid AIDS activist will make an appearance from 2-4 p.m. at Aventura Bloomingdale's, second floor.
What inspired you to put out this book?
We wanted to share our journey through art and let the images tell the story. Also, we wanted it told by an outsider. Having Lisa Birnbach [ The Official Preppy Handbook] work with me gave it a fresh perspective. The book itself is laid out in five chapters about how we found our distinctive voice and married it with the fashion.
How much has the fashion world changed in 30 years?
Social media has had a profound impact on the industry. Everyone can consume fashion on their own terms; customers are their own brands and curate their own content. Social media has created a dialogue where the customer is able to tell us what they want and then we can act on that.
Can you recall the biggest fashion disaster in the last 30 years? Scrunchies?
A fashion disaster always makes a comeback, that's what makes fashion so great, what's 'out' is not really 'out' forever!
Who is one of the best-dressed celebrities these days, in your opinion?
James Franco. He is the modern day James Dean: confident, cool and effortless.
What is a piece that will never go out of style?
In fashion, you have to reinvent yourself every day. It's all about creating product that will transcend one given cycle to the next so that you can wear the product for multiple seasons. A good leather motorcycle jacket and a pair of dark denim jeans are my picks for both sexes.
What is something you personally would never throw out of your closet?
A leather jacket. It's timeless, gets better with age, and is a great transitional piece from season to season.
Have any style tips that you can impart to season-deficient South Floridians?
Less is more.
What are some trends you are seeing lately?
Camouflage is huge right now. The deconstructed interpretation of the print has transferred itself from the runways directly to city streets in everything from clothing to accessories.
Who or what gets your creative juices flowing?
New York has always been an inspiration to me. It's a global melting pot of different cultures and encourages people to celebrate their differences while also developing a sense of community and coexistence.
What is a typical day for you?
I start off with an early morning workout; answer emails, attend design and marketing meetings, and do product reviews. Though no day is ever the same. I wrap up over dinner at home with my family. I try to be asleep by midnight; after all, I've got to wake up in five hours and start all over again.

Hey! EF 35mm f/2 IS comes with lens hood! WOW!
At leas we know now where this price comes from...
On what are you basing that statement? If it's the B&H 'what's in the box' list, I'd reserve judgement - I think that's an error. If you look at 'more images' you'll see the picture of the hood is the EW-83L, the hood for the 24-70/4L IS. A hood with an 83mm diameter at the bayonet mount isn't going fit on a lens with a specified maximum diameter of 77.9mm. Most likely, someone setting up the B&H webpage did the 24-70/4L IS first, then just copied and pasted.
But if you're source is something more official, please share!

If you've been to downtown Phoenix recently, you've likely seen the new YMCA being built. It's a huge endeavor with Arizona State University.
The building is nearly finished.
"It's vibrant, exciting.. students enjoy it and we at ASU love being here as well," said ASU Downtown's Dean of Students, Dr. Georgeana Montoya.
ASU Downtown student Danielle Gilmore adds, "It's perfect being downtown on a small campus. We don't really have Tempe or the MU or a bunch of places to relax.. it's nice to have this to add to it."
The new YMCA is a partnership with ASU. It'll have an indoor running track, bike co-op and even a rooftop pool.
"It's amazing. It's the largest rooftop pool in Arizona we've been told.. yes and our students love it.. the one thing is that it is for our ASU students only," said Montoya.
ASU Downtown student Jocelyn Watson says, "A rooftop pool is always exciting. It's great -- Arizona is hot and it's going to be a great place to hang out and study, take a dip and then go in the lounge chairs for a while."
"It looks awesome. As you can tell we are excited to have it and great once the sun comes out and it's awesome to have it here," added Gilmore.
The $25 million facility will cater to students and working adults. The five story building also has a gym, weight room and student lounge that fill the 64,000 square feet.
The new fitness center is funded by a $75 per semester fee for each student.
Video: FOX 10's Syleste Rodriguez and Cory McCloskey check out the new facility in downtown Phoenix.

On the positive side, the cabin was roomy and storage was never a problem. Peter, our stateroom attendant was terrific. He always peeked out of another room when we were leaving ours so he could make our beds before we came back or turndown our beds in the evening.
The food in the MDR was decent, not great but not bad. We did eat one night in Tuscan Grille and enjoyed it. Again, good but not great. We never had any problem finding a table at the buffet for breakfast and the food was hot and fresh. Except for one rude, never a smile on her face, indiviual at Guest Relations (why she's there, I don't know), every employee had a smile and was willing to go out of their way to help.
Would I sail on Constellation again? Maybe, for the right price. We did have a good time. But after sailing on the other two ships, this one pales by comparison.

In each of the three counties in Illinois where the one cent sales tax was on the ballot, a simple majority was all that was needed for the measure to pass.
Henry County - where the tax could generate $3 million a year - easily approved it, with 55% of votes in favor of the move.
At the time of this posting, no poll results had come in from Mercer County. The referendum there would help fund facility upgrades in the county's three school districts.
Whiteside County voters defeated the referendum, which would have been used to lower property taxes in the nine districts that would have split the money. The vote was 54% against the measure, 46% for it.
Across the river in Iowa, school sales taxes have been in place for years.
Now, the one cent sales tax has added up big things for the Clinton School District.
"It is a project that has just gotten underway and we're ready to start having a lot of earth moving," Deb Olson, Clinton Schools Superintendent, said.
Step one was moving a little earth, in a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Clinton Middle School Tuesday.
With the new building, the district will consolidate its two outdated middle schools into a single joint campus, built with the future in mind.
"Today, with advent of having inquiry based learning, and looking with using technology as a resource, this will just make our kids be even that much more prepared for the next century," Olson explained.
The price tag: $20.9 million dollars. That will be paid for entirely by the one cent sales tax.
"It's something where everybody ends up having to pay a little bit and look at all the good things that you get from it," Olson said.
In fact, the new middle school is just the latest project to be funded by the one cent sales tax here.
Over the years, the sales tax money has paid to put air conditioning into two elementary schools, and put a $13 million addition onto the high school and renovate those facilities.
Superintendent Olson said this new middle school likely would not have been possible without the one cent sales tax revenues.
"I mean we would have had to bond for all of that money. And to raise $21 million dollars would be pretty difficult," she explained.
"The schools are so important," said Nathan Sondgroth, President and CEO of the Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce, who was on-hand at the groundbreaking ceremony to present a certificate of recognition to the school district for its contribution to the business community with this move.
Sondgroth said the one cent sales tax is one tax people don't mind paying.
"Whenever you raise a price, then there's always a concern," he said, "But, I think people understand that the marginal cost or the bit of the increase can help fund things that really do make positive impacts in the community."
"And so the benefit is certainly worth the cost," he added.
Construction of the new Clinton Middle School is expected to be complete by July 2014.

Senate Bill 81 creates a 13-member board to own and manage the airport, with members appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the House and the Senate President Pro Tempore, as well as local governments in Mecklenburg and five surrounding counties (Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln and Union), according to a news release from Sen. Bob Rucho's office.
"The Charlotte airport is a huge economic driver for the region and the state, with the lowest cost hub in the country," said Sen. Bob Rucho (R-Mecklenburg), the bill's sponsor, said in a statement.
Rucho delayed a vote on the bill last week to further consider the impact of $800 million in debt financed with airport revenue bonds issued by the city.
The bill did have it's share of critics including State Senator Malcolm Graham of Charlotte who wanted legislators to take their time before making a decision.
"In this chamber, facts should matter,"he said." In this chamber we owe the citizens more 55 minutes of debate on a 12 billion dollar enterprise.We owe them that."
Meanwhile, state senator Tom Apodaca of Hendersonville claimed the state is not grabbing anything from the city of Charlotte.
"We're talking about taking a airport and making an airport authority, where all of the folks around it get to participate."
After passing down party lines, its sponsor openly criticized how the city of Charlotte is running the airport.
"I think they are scurrying around trying to find any possible way to take the money from the airport and utilize it for their own agenda,"he said.
Charlotte City Councilman dismissed the theory.
Dulin said, "If he eluded that the City was going to siphon money to pay for other services then that's untrue."
Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx reacted to the senate's decision by saying should stay out of business of airport management.
"We frankly don't agree with what's being proposed, but how it's being proposed."52:17
Fierce debate came earlier this week, when the North Carolina Senate decided to take airport operations from the City of Charlotte and place it into the hands of a regional airport authority.
State Rep. Ruth Samuelson of Mecklenburg County has been fielding calls from constituents who may influence her decision.
"I'm hearing from people who mostly support the idea of an authority. I've gotten a few emails from people who don't," she said.
Who rules one of the shiniest jewels in the Queen City may depend on the outcome of a study backed by the Mayor and Council along with a soon to be released report the state treasurer's office.
"I think there is an interest in figuring out what the problem is to be solved. I think there is also some concerns not only on the airport, but also on the city, "Foxx said.
A measured amount of time is expected, once the bill hits the house.
"If you think slow is the end April then there's some questions we do have so time to answer and the study can come back and give us answers to the questions," Samuelson said.
Airport authorities are often the preferred method of ownership for public airports because their leadership is free to focus on airport issues with less political interference. Raleigh-Durham International Airport and Piedmont Triad International Airport are both owned and managed by authorities.
The Charlotte Douglas International Airport is the world's sixth busiest airport and is the largest hub for US Airways.
The bill now moves to the House chamber.

The Kurdish Globe
Kurdistan Region doesn't consider the Peshmerga army to be a militia, but a very important regular and academic army that guards a region of Iraq, the Kurdistan Region.
The KRG wants to merge the Peshmerga army with the Iraqi army, with the Baghdad government assuming responsibility for the Peshmerga's payroll, which still receives its salary from the regional government.
Sources say Kurdish leaders recently sent a strong message to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, criticizing him for not being able to work with the KRG to solve the Kirkuk, oil contract, and Peshmerga issues.
Kurdish leaders say al-Maliki's government is weak, and the only ally it has is the Kurds. Some have said that if al-Maliki does not fulfill Kurdish demands, then Kurds will seek an alternative.
"If al-Maliki doesn't consult with the Kurdistan coalition (KC) and some other Iraqi parties about political, security, and economic decisions, his government can't continue," said Mahmud Osman, a prominent Kurdish lawmaker.
Regarding the message sent by Kurdish leaders to al-Maliki, Osman said if al-Maliki doesn't fulfill Kurdish demands, then Kurdish leaders should make it clear to Maliki that Kurdish decisions are more than just words.
The message came after the two main Kurdish parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party, led by Massoud Barzani, and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan Party, led by Jalal Talabani, signed a trilateral memory of understanding with the Iraqi Islamic Party, led by Tareq al-Hashemi.
Last month, a high-ranking Kurdish delegation headed by Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani visited Baghdad to discuss several controversial issues, including Kirkuk, Peshmerga, oil contracts, and the region's 2008 budget.
In a recent press conference, Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani expressed his regret over the visit, which produced no forward movement. "Sadly, the Kurdish delegation returned without achieving any results," Barzani said.
The Kurdistan government says the Iraqi Defense Minister on October 2007 agreed to supply the budget for around 80,000 Peshmerga forces, but al-Maliki has yet to approve the agreement.
Kurdistan Parliament speaker Adnan Mufti attempted to calm Kurdistan's disputes with Baghdad, however, describing them as "normal."
"I believe disputes with the central government will be resolved in 2008 by means of negotiation," said Mufti.
The KRG seeks to allocate an extra sum from the Iraqi Defense Ministry's budget for Peshmerga salaries, currently paid through the regional government's share of the national oil revenue.
Last month, Kurdistan Parliament unanimously approved a Peshmerga forces' Service and Retirement Law submitted by the region's government.
KRG's Peshmerga Minister, Omar Othman, explained that the law was drafted in accordance with the Iraqi Military Service Law. "The Peshmerga forces are entrusted with protecting the region, but at the same time they are part of the Iraqi forces," Othman said.
Peshmerga forces are not only keeping security in Kurdistan, but they are also sustaining security in other parts of Iraq. More than 2,000 Peshmergas are now operating in Diyala province, the stronghold of al-Qaeda, upon the request of the Iraqi government and coalition forces.
The official spokesman for the Peshmerga, Kurdistan's protection forces, said on Thursday that the forces are ready to be sent to Kirkuk to protect the Baiji-Kirkuk road.

Terrorism, Insurgency and Homeland Security
Issues related to terrorism and violent insurgencies are at the forefront of U.S. and international security policy. CISAC researchers are engaged in scholarship dedicated to exploring the nature and organizational structure of international terrorist organizations, and how best to prevent, mitigate, or counter violence committed by non-state actors. This area of research focuses in particular on the legal, historical, political, technical and organizational issues related to the development and evaluation of effective counter-terrorism and counterinsurgency strategies, both in the U.S. and abroad.
Projects in this research area include Martha Crenshaw's multi-year examination of the roots of violent extremist groups that maps the evolution of terrorist organizations. Senior research scholar Joseph Felter, working alongside former CISAC fellow Jacob Shapiro, co-directs the Empirical Studies of Conflict Program, which collects, disseminates, and analyzes conflict data from a variety of nations including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Colombia in an effort to better understand conflicts and insurgencies. Active-duty U.S. military officers spend time in residence at CISAC each year conducting research on strategies for effective counter-insurgency and counter-terrorist operations, among other issues.
Other researchers, including Charles Perrow and Lawrence Wein, have published papers and books on the organization of homeland security, border and port security preparedness, and strategies for managing the aftermath of a catastrophic terrorist event. Paul Stockton, a former fellow and now assistant secretary of defense for at the U.S. Department of Defense, has focused on how U.S. security institutions respond to changes in threats, including the rise of terrorism, and the interaction of U.S. Congress and the executive branch in restructuring national security budgets, policies, and institutional arrangements. Michael May and Former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry have also done significant work on managing the threat of nuclear terrorism.

Hants defeat is Taylor-made
11:00pm Thursday 31st May 2012 in Sport
Hampshire lost a Clydesdale Bank40 thriller against Nottinghamshire at The Ageas Bowl tonight.
James Taylor hit a 77-ball 115* as Nottinghamshire made 277-4 after Michael Lumb was lbw for 0 on his return to Hampshire.
But half-centuries from Jimmy Adams, Michael Carberry and Sean Ervine - and a brave 48 from Dimi Mascarenhas - took the game to the final over.
Hampshire needed 15 from the last six balls, but Darren Pattinson held his nerve as the Royals suffered their first CB40 defeat of the season, by 12 runs.

Tribune sports columnist
Kokomo —
Like many others, I am walking around with a pit in my stomach following the senseless deaths of Dennis and Judy Schulte earlier this week in Seattle. The retired Kokomo couple was walking with their daughter-in-law, Karina Schulte, and her 10-day-old son when they were slammed into by a suspected drunk driver.
Dennis had deep roots in Western athletics. He was a longtime assistant coach in football and wrestling and later the head coach in wrestling. In addition, he was a rock-solid teacher in the math department. Judy worked in education at Northwestern.
I had the chance to know Dennis a little, first as a Western student and later in my role as a sports reporter. He had a friendly personality and was detailed and highly respected as a teacher and as a coach — just the type of person everyone wants in our schools.
Bob Jarrett knew Schulte well. Jarrett was Western's wrestling coach from 1970-94. Schulte was his middle school coach for a short time and his varsity assistant for 15 or so seasons. Schulte then succeeded Jarrett as the Panthers' coach when the Hall of Fame skipper stepped down.
"He was just a really nice guy," Jarrett said. "He was very dependable. His main concern always was the kids. I never had to worry about him not being there or telling the kids the wrong thing. He was just a super assistant coach.
"I'd kid him a lot of times — you always hear about good cop, bad cop. Well, guess who was the good cop?" Jarrett added with a laugh. "I'd chew their butt out and then he'd pat them on the back. It was just a great combination."
Schulte had a nice run as the Panthers' head coach. He led the Panther grapplers to sectional titles in 1996, '97 and '98 and regional titles in '95 and '98.
Schulte left his mark in football, too. He was the offensive line coach for many of Hall of Fame coach Jim Plummer's best teams.
"He was analytical. That was part of his math [background]. So, everything was about blocking schemes and making it the easiest for his players to do the blocking," said Ron Phillips, who also was a Panther assistant coach. "He stressed attention to the rules and he expected the kids to be the coaches on the field. He taught them how to recognize things and how to change things on the fly."
Phillips played for the Panthers, and was a senior linebacker when Schulte joined the Panthers' varsity staff as linebackers coach in 1975. They later worked closely together as assistants — Phillips as defensive line coach, Schulte as O-line coach.
"I learned everything from him," Phillips said. "If he did something, he did it right."
Phillips was hit hard by the news Tuesday morning.
"He was a mentor, a friend. We laughed. There were times we probably cried together," he said.
Former Western boys basketball coach Andy Weaver had the chance to work with Schulte in the school's math department. He noted Schulte was a great teacher and an even better person.
"Denny had a genuine care for people. He just had a heart of gold," Weaver said. "He taught calculus and I believe a lot of honors algebra II so obviously he was very smart, but he was just a people's person. Kids liked him, adults liked him. He was our fantasy football commissioner for years. Most of all, he was a great husband and great father and I think those are the ultimate compliments."
The fantasy football league is a gem. The Schulte Hunt Association of Football Teams (SHAFT) is in its 28th year, which means it started long before the Internet and highlight shows made it easy to track stats and roster moves. The league started with 10 members, all Western staff members including Phillips and fellow league namesake Jeff Hunt.
"We know we're the oldest league in Howard County, we think we may be the second oldest in the nation," Phillips said.
The league goes on. Life goes on. Sadly, the plague on society that is drunk driving remains. Please, please, please — honor the Schultes by taking a pledge to not drink and drive.
Dennis Schulte — or Mr. Schulte as I always will remember him — made this world a better place. Let's do the same in his honor.
"Most of us, if we live long enough, we make some enemies, really make some people mad. I don't think you can find an enemy of Denny Schulte. He was just that kind of guy," Jarrett said.

It looks like
Spectacular Spider-Man
is coming out more than once a month, because another issue hit this week. What is really interesting to me is that the story is getting better and better. I mentioned last week that I thought it could get old if they just kept having Peter Parker as a ghost making quips as everything is happening. This week, the comic added a new twist. Peter found he can travel through Doctor Octopus' memories as well.
The story continued what started last issue with the pint sized Vulture minions trying to kill Mary Jane. This time, Spider-Man headed into action to offer The Vulture something. Doc Ock has a long friendship with Vulture and wanted to offer him a large nest egg to retire. It was a nice moment, but was spoiled when Vulture figured he was being tricked and sent his minions to attack Ock. When Ock found out they were just kids he flipped out and might have crippled The Vulture by the end.
The issue did a lot of things. First of all, it looks like Doctor Octopus is on the road to redemption, although he is going about it very violently. When he realized Vulture was using children, he lost it meaning there are lines even Otto won't cross. Also, Peter learned some about Ock's childhood and Carlie might have realized that it isn't Peter inside that body. Add in a very funny moment in the start where JJJ made a Spidey-Signal and Ock destroyed it and explained how stupid the idea was, and you have a great issue.
However, it wasn't the best comic of the week. That goes to
New Avengers #3
The Illuminati has grown. While Professor X is dead and out of the picture, Black Panther and Captain America have joined the group. Also joining up with the group is The Beast, who Professor X chose as his replacement. The gathering was for one reason. Something is trying to destroy the earth and Black Panther knows they need to do something now. They see a second planet headed towards earth and use the Infinity Gauntlet to fight it back.
When Captain America tries to use it to stop the oncoming planet, it works but all the gems from the Infinity Gauntlet shatter. As a result, there is nothing left to fight what has been trying to destroy the earth. The members all argue and debate the merits of building a weapon that can destroy an entire world to protect themselves. One man refuses to give in here, because as Captain America said, when will they decide to use the weapon to achieve whatever goals they feel I necessary.
One thing had to be done. If you remember the
Justice League of America
storyline "Identity Crisis" and what happened to Batman, you will know what happened here to defuse the situation and allow the remaining members of the Illuminati do what they wanted, pretty much destroying the reason they band together as a group to begin with. This issue was said to be the start of Marvel's next big crossover event, and it looks like things are about to get wild.
5: Jaime Reyes as Blue Beetle
The original Blue Beetle was Dan Garrett, and then Ted Kord replaced him. I really liked Ted Kord, and loved his relationship with Booster Gold. However, I really like Jaime Reyes, the new Blue Beetle. Luckily for people who liked that relationship, Booster Gold had a lot to do with Jaime becoming Blue Beetle as well when the Scarab attached itself to Reyes back. In his first ever mission, Reyes was able to help Batman and his group beat Brother Eye. He became more of a street level superhero. In the New 52, Jaime is even better, a more individualistic character and one of the best new reinventions of the New 52.
4: Scott Lang as Ant-Man
The original Ant-Man was Hank Pym, a very polarizing character. While many comic fans dislike Hank because he was a "wife beater," I always liked him, although I preferred him in his Yellow Jacket persona. He started out in the original
team as Ant-Man, but when he chose new aliases, a former criminal named Scott Lang took over the role. Lang was hired by Tony Stark after he was released from prison to build a security system. However, when his daughter Cassie became ill, he stole Pym's costume and shrinking gas to rescue a kidnapped doctor who could save his daughter. Pym knew that Lang stole the uniform, but allowed him to keep it as long as he remained a hero. Scott soon became a great hero and proved that he was rehabilitated. He has recently gone through some tough times. Scott died, but his daughter (now as Stature of the Young Avengers) was able to travel back in time and save him only to return to the present day and watch his daughter die in a giant battle with Dr. Doom. He is now the head of the FF on earth while the Fantastic Four are lost in outer space.
3: Dick Grayson as Batman
Batman and Robin. They are the perfect superhero and sidekick, as Bruce Wayne took in Dick Grayson after Dick watches his parents die at the hand of gangsters. With Dick suffering the same loss as Bruce, Batman found a like soul and helped mold Robin into one of the world's greatest superheroes. The two were always tied together, and despite men like Jason Todd and Tim Drake taking over the role of Robin, Dick Grayson was always - in my eyes - the man groomed to take over Batman's role if the Caped Crusader ever died. It happened twice, but the second time it was after a battle with Tim, Jason and Damien Wayne over who deserved to wear the Batman costume after Bruce's apparent death. While it looks like Damien might end up as the heir apparent, the only true replacement for Bruce Wayne is Dick Grayson, and for a short time he was perfect in the role.
2: Kyle Rayner as Green Lantern
Hal Jordan is the one true Green Lantern, easily the greatest of them all. However, there are other Lanterns to choose from that protected earth, including Alan Scott, John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner. While, honestly, Hal Jordan is the greatest replacement hero of them all (replacing Alan Scott), I don't want this to be a replacement of Golden Age heroes, but more of a modern day re-imagining of heroes. Therefore, my vote goes to Kyle Rayner, who took the idea of being a Green Lantern and made it both loyal, and very fun. The difference between Kyle and Hal was striking. Hal was a super cop but Kyle was a graphic artist and pretty much a kid. What that meant was that he was more free spirited and used his ring to create some pretty freaking awesome tools in his battles. Hal Jordan is still my favorite Lantern, but Kyle is the most fun use of the power ring that DC came up with.
1: Wally West as The Flash
It has to be pointed out that, when Barry Allen died, it was a shocking turn of events that helped end "Crisis on Infinite Earths." Then he stayed dead -
for 23 years
. That has to be the longest that a major hero ever stayed out of comics, and his return came at "Final Crisis." I still find it amazing that Barry Allen started the first major change in origins with the first Crisis and his return kicked off the next major change in origins in "Flashpoint." However, in between, Kid Flash took over the role of Flash and made it his own. After two decades, younger fans completely forgot (or never knew) about Barry Allen because Wally West became "The" Flash. It is very sad today that Wally has never appeared in the New 52, since for 23 years he became one of the most popular men to ever wear the Flash uniform.
In last week's battles, Lobo wiped the floor with Hawkman, 339-131, The Spectre took out The Invisible Woman, 320-151, and Namor beat The Beast in a very close fight, 271-207. Now, there was one major upset and I would like someone in this week's comment section to give me a scenario of how this happened. Luke Cage beat X-Man, 243-231. What I want from you is a detailed fight that shows how Cage beat X-Man.
On to this week's matchups, including the one that I think might be the toughest to choose so far in this tournament.

Stanford University's Larry Horton to retire

relationship between Stanford and the community are stronger and warmer? Come on over to Menlo Park where residents are in turmoil over the proposed development Stanford has proposed for the 8 plus acre parcels on El Camino Real. Stanford participated in the city's five-year Specific Plan process and heard clearly what the city needed to obtain sales tax driven businesses on El Camino. Stanford representatives listened; kept their mouths shut; took notes and stroked the sorry egos of the city's staff to insert into the Plan every loop hole it could so that the city is facing a development with little retail, no hotel, less housing than it could have, a dangerous plaza that includes lanes of traffic, and an increase of development related traffic that will find its way into the modest neighborhoods west of El Camino Real.
No, warmer is not the word to describe the relationship Stanford has with the community. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]

Wow, people are so bitter and mean-spirited. Mr. Horton had a tough job given all the Stanford-hating Palo Altans who complain about everything but never acknowledge the good the University does for our community. Good luck to Mr. Horton in his retirement.

After cranking out back-to-back victories the previous two weeks, things appeared to be looking up for the Seahawks Sunday as they began a rare three-game homestand Sunday against the reeling Redskins. But Seattle's hopes of winning a third straight game for the first time in four years went up in a smoke in a 23-17 loss that was demoralizing, to say the least. A 50-yard TD bomb on 3rd-and-19 from Rex Grossman to Anthony Armstrong, which was defended by Seahawks CB Brandon Browner, turned out to be a particular downer, as Armstrong's only catch of the game enabled Washington to storm back from a 17-7 third-quarter deficit to take the lead for good at 20-17.
While Grossman and the Redskins scored two TDs in a span of 3:33 in the fourth quarter, Seattle's offense shot nothing but blanks with a very ineffective Tarvaris Jackson under center. Despite increased practice time leading up to the game, Jackson appeared to still be laboring due to a strained pectoral muscle, completing only 14-of-30 passes for 144 yards. In Seattle's final four drives, the team could not pick up a single first down.
The PFW spin
So much for the Seahawks obtaining any semblance of respectability any time soon. Repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot with ill-timed penalties (an ungodly 35 flags in the last three games) and limited production from their receivers (six dropped passes, with neither Sidney Rice nor Mike Williams catching a pass), probably the best thing the Seahawks have going for themselves is the opportunity to very quickly forget this travesty with their next game only three days from now against the equally disappointing Eagles.
Dare I say that this shapes up as a game for the birds? Why not?
Probably the most disturbing problem at the moment is the recent rash of killer penalties that has the team on pace to shatter the franchise record of 128 penalties set back in 1984. Blaming so many yellow flags on the team's considerable youth has gotten old in a hurry, and head coach Pete Carroll and his staff must be held accountable for so many mental gaffes.
As for the defense, as good as it has been for the most part this season, especially against the run, its inability to stop the Redskins Sunday is a red flag that's hard to ignore.
As for the offense, show me the star power!
Aside from RB Marshawn Lynch, who went over the century mark in rushing for the third time in four games, and WR Golden Tate, who has come on a bit as of late, this is a team suddenly devoid of weapons. It's becoming increasingly difficult to count on Rice, who is extremely iffy for the short term after suffering his second concussion of the season, and Williams has regressed significantly after a breakout campaign last season.
After falling to 4-7, the error-prone Seahawks' margin for error has become increasingly miniscule. While a second straight debacle at home Thursday night against the Eagles would not qualify as a complete disaster, it would certainly come close.
Funny how quickly hopes can become so false.

Purported widow of murder victim charged with fraudBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | June 15,2013BRATTLEBORO — The purported widow of murder victim Michael Martin — who was shot to death by a disgruntled employee at the Brattleboro Food Co-op two summers ago — has been charged with fraud for allegedly falsifying a marriage certificate and claiming Martin's insurance benefits.
Jennifer D. Dusenbery, 37, formerly of Dummerston, left Vermont last year for Indiana where her young children live while she was under investigation by Vermont State Police.
But according to documents on file in Windham County criminal court, the case languished until this spring, when Zurich Insurance Co. finally came forward with information that she had received close to $70,000 based on the falsified marriage certificate she had submitted to it.
Judge David Suntag recently signed an arrest warrant for Dusenbery, whose last known address was in Barea, Calif.
Windham County State's Attorney Tracy Kelly Shriver said her office would seek to extradite Dusenbery, but that her whereabouts are currently unknown.
Martin, 59, a native of Waterbury, had started working at the food co-op in 2006, to manage the food store which was undergoing a major new construction project. He had offered longtime store employee Richard Gagnon, the wine and beer manager, a severance package a few days before Gagnon came into the store and shot Martin in the back of the head as he sat at his desk.
Martin's murder stunned the Brattleboro community, prompting a large public vigil and much soul-searching in the community.
Gagnon has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for shooting Martin, and is serving a 20-year sentence.
Dusenbery had been involved with the state police and Shriver's office before the fraud investigation began last summer. She had filed a complaint against her ex-boyfriend alleging that she had been sexually assaulted by him, Shriver said.
But Shriver said she never filed charges against the man, who has since moved from Putney to Rutland, because of Dusenbery's credibility issues.
Court records also revealed that Dusenbery had once been charged with assaulting Martin with a candlestick in April 2009. Charges of aggravated domestic assault were reduced to simple assault, and received a suspended 15- to 20-day sentence.
Shriver also said that the Brattleboro justice of the peace who signed the marriage certificate after the fact when she did not perform a wedding ceremony for Martin and Dusenbery on Halloween in 2010 — nine months before Martin was murdered — would not face criminal charges because she had no intent to defraud anyone of anything, despite filing a false document.
Mary Cain, who at one time worked for Dusenbery, had been contacted by her and asked her to sign the certificate after Martin died. Cain told police she signed the certificate, and back dated it to Oct. 31, 2010, as a notary, just ascertaining what Dusenbery said.
But interviews conducted by Vermont State Police Trooper Tyson Kinney with two other town clerks, who have extensive experience with marriage certificates, said that Cain should have known better and that she had performed wedding ceremonies before.
Dusenbery told police, as well as the Dummerston town clerk, that Martin and herself had performed their own wedding ceremony during a party at their home on Oct. 30, 2010. Dusenbery and Martin had taken out a marriage certificate in October, the town clerk told police, and Dusenbery had started using the name Martin, according to Michael Martin's obituary, which listed their wedding date as Oct. 29, 2010.
But according to court records, Martin was still legally married to another woman, Lisa Nisca, who lives in New York state, whose attorney had failed to file the final agreement in their divorce.
According to court records, Martin's insurance policy should have been paid out to minor children still living at home, or his legally married wife. Nisca has since filed a claim.
Martin, the father of six children and five stepchildren, had been married five times.
If convicted, Dusenbery could face 10 years in prison.

Are you warm? Cool? Olive? Give up? (We don't have a clue, either.) The best way to find your perfect match is to leave it to the professionals. Stop by any cosmetics counter and ask for help finding your shade. If you're fending for yourself, swipe a few colors vertically across your jawline, and whichever one is barely visible is your best bet.
Tip: After cleansing and moisturizing your face, apply foundation with...your fingers! It's quicker and easier than using a sponge or brush. Simply dab the foundation onto the areas that need it most (ruddy cheeks, dark circles, uneven spots) and blend gently.

Man dies in motorway crash near Exeter
A 47-year-old man died in a crash on the M5 yesterday afternoon.
Four cars and a lorry were involved on the northbound carriageway between junctions 29 and 28.
The vehicles were involved in a shunt-type collision at the end of a tailback caused by an earlier crash on the same stretch of carriageway.
A Shropshire man, the driver of a black Ford Focus, sustained serious injuries and died at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
Three other people, one man and two women, suffered minor injuries and were taken to Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.
The crash caused gridlock on the diversion routes through Exeter. The road was not reopened around 3.30am.
Police have launched an investigation and are appealing for witnesses to contact them on 101, quoting log number 521 of 05/12/12.

Well, the Great Lakes are now frozen enough that a small passenger plane safely landed on the icy surface of Lake Huron Monday. The pilot of the seven-passenger aircraft, headed for northern Michigan's Mackinac Island, decided to make the emergency landing when the engine failed and he couldn't keep it from stalling, 9&10 News reports. After the plane touched down, police, fire crews and snowmobilers helped escort passengers off the ice.
None of the six passengers or the pilot were injured, and the plane wasn't damaged. In fact, one passenger told police that the pilot did such a "fantastic job" that the landing was actually "softer than landing on the runway."
Crews managed to use snowmobiles to tow the plane off the icy lake and back to St. Ignace, where it had taken off.
UPDATE: MSP says seven people were on board the plane heading to Mackinac Island from St. Ignacehttp://bit.ly/1gVzNcT http://t.co/FsU7ny8M12—

Gold Prices Turn Negative (Update 1)
Updated from 11:12 a.m. EST with afternoon action and settlement prices
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gold prices retreated Tuesday, despite an early rally on news that the chief of Japan's central bank said he would leave his post in March.
Gold for April delivery lost $2.90 to settle at $1,673.50 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price traded as high as $1,687 and as low as $1,667.20 an ounce, while the spot price was off $1.50, according to Kitco's gold index.
Gold prices initially moved higher after Bank of Japan Gov. Masaaki Shirakawa told reporters in Tokyo that he would step down on March 19, likely paving the way for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to push for even greater accommodative monetary policy.But the ISM Non-Manufacturing Index printed Tuesday at 55.2% for January, a signal of rising momentum for employment for the sixth straight month. Gold prices are closely tied to labor market trends as the Federal Reserve has pegged its low interest rates policy until the unemployment rate drops to 6.5%. Many analysts view the end of low interest rates as a suggestion that central bank quantitative easing would conclude, as well. The ISM announcement reversed earlier gains after the Bank of Japan news. Even before returning as the leader of Japan, Abe had argued for greater easing policies by the central bank. Abe's pressure on the central bank, at one point, had elicited criticism from Shirakawa who called for respect of the Bank of Japan's independence. Silver prices for March delivery increased 16 cents to $31.88 an ounce, while the U.S. dollar index was off 0.05% to $79.52. Investors typically view looser monetary policy as inflationary, and a more accommodative stance from Japan may drive more traders to the yellow metal as an asset hedge against inflation. The greenback was surging to ¥93.36 yen against the prior day's close at ¥92.38. Funds may also be turning back to the gold market. "The euro is steady, it looks like stocks moving higher and gold moving higher signal a measure of the return of the funds that I've been looking for, slowly, as low open interest on the Comex -- around 424,000 round numbers -- is still low and room for the funds to come back in," George Gero, precious metals strategist at RBC Wealth Management, said in an interview. The euro was rising slightly Tuesday against the U.S. dollar to $1.3578, up from the prior day's close at $1.3514, a day after news that Spain's opposition Socialist Party had called on the country's prime minister to step down and after the prospect reemerged that former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi would challenge for his old post.

Originally due to premiere on Channel 4 in February, Pig Business – a documentary about intensive pig farming – was cancelled because of fears of legal action from Smithfield Foods, the world's largest producer of pork. Subsequent screenings have also ran in to difficulties, with a recent showing at the Barbican only going ahead once the director, Tracy Worcester, signed an indemnity taking personal responsibility for its content.
So what are Smithfield Foods so afraid of?
Four years in the making and just over 70 minutes long in its current form (the version I watched may be cut down for future broadcasts), this cogent documentary argues that intensive pig farming is "bad for our food, our health and the livelihoods of our rural communities."
Initially focussing on the
Housed in superstore-sized sheds in cramped conditions with little natural light, the stressed-out hogs produce a staggering amount of waste (pigs defecate ten times the amount a human does), often contaminating the local water table and emitting an illness-inducing stench. Tom Garrett, from the Animal Welfare Institute, argues this is nothing less than "the application of industrial systems that were designed to build car and machines, to living creatures."
Tired of being steamrolled by large corporations, in the 90s a grassroots movement of farmers and environmentalists won a number of small, but significant victories, leading to greater regulation of pig farms in the
In response to this popular protest and increasingly restrictive laws, Smithfield Foods relocated much of its business to countries such as
A long-time environmental activist working on a small budget,
Frustratingly, like much of the coverage of animal welfare in the mainstream,
But while the debate continues about how best to improve the lives of pigs and those people – workers, local residents and consumers – who are most affected by the industry, it is clear Smithfield Foods only has one interest: profit. As Joel Bakan notes in his seminal study of the corporate world "the corporation's legally defined mandate is to pursue, relentlessly and without exception, its own self-interest, regardless of the often harmful consequences it might cause others."
Seen in this light, the legal threats from Smithfield Foods are a logical response to this illuminating and absorbing documentary. In short, there is no doubt that if Pig Business receives a wide audience, it will be very bad for Smithfield Foods own pig business.
"It's a battle about who is going to control our resources", Kennedy, Jr sums up at the film's close. "Are our resources going to be controlled by a corporate-feudal system or are they going to be controlled by the people?"
Pig Business is directed by Tracy Worcester: http://www.pigbusiness.co.uk/.
