Holiday Skin Tips
Dr. Marie Jhin, a dermatologist in the SF Bay area shares her favorite skin tips for surviving the Holidays.
Dr. Jhin recently paid a visit to ABC 7 and shared her best tips for how to get through the holidays looking your best!
Stay Hydrated with exfoliating baths and moisturizing mists
Taking a bath instead of a shower gives you a great opportunity to exfoliate with a scrub and get in some much needed relaxation, but don't forget to slather on a thick moisturizer to keep your skin smooth and refreshed afterwards. On the go, try a misting spray for an instant burst of moisture.
Use Cortisone to reduce the appearance of blemishes
A shot of cortisone is a great way to instantly blast a pimple—If you can find time to see your doctor. If not, try a hydrocortisone cream from the drugstore. Just put it on the pimple overnight and cover with a Band-Aid, the next day use a salicylic spot treatment to dry the pimple out, and don't pick, it will only make the spot more noticeable and could result in a scar!
Keep your face sweat free with a roll on antiperspirant
Apply a roll on antiperspirant every night for 4 days before you plan on hitting the dance floor to keep your face sweat free the night of!
Use coffee bags to keep your eyes bright and beautiful
A new twist on the old tea bag trick—coffee packs more caffeine to constricts the blood vessels under your eyes to reduce the appearance of dark circles. So pop moist coffee singles into the fridge, sit back and grab a few minutes of shut eye while they work to make you look more alert.
Use Ciclafate as a topical treatment to make burns disappear in a matter of days
The holidays mean baking and grooming—and burns from the oven and the curling iron are inevitable. Use Cicalfate cream with healing water on the burn and in three days your burn will disappear!

Many vaccinations are required for kids starting school, but even as you get older, there are several you need to keep up to date on.
When was your last tetanus shot?
If you can't answer that right away, Kari VanDam, a nurse at Floyd Valley Family Medicine Clinic in Le Mars says it might be time to get one.
"People walk in here all the time and they've cut their hand working in the yard or whatever and that's the first question we ask," says VanDam. "You really should know, at least in the general vicinity, if it was five years ago, if it was ten years ago, or if they don't remember, then they get one right away."
The Center for Disease Control recommends adults get a tetanus booster shot every ten years. VanDam says even for adults shots are important.
"Not only do you put yourself at risk of getting diseases, you then put others at risk of getting the disease because you aren't vaccinated," says VanDam. "If you walk into a day care and you've been exposed to mumps you then put everyone else at risk. You are contagious, but a vaccine may have prevented that."
But the tetanus shots isn't the only one adults forget about.
"As you get older, at age 50, there's the Zoster vaccine or the shingles vaccine," says VanDam.
She also suggests looking at your records to see if you've gotten the Hepatitis B vaccine.
"It's a three shot series that was not required for school age children until the early 90's so there is a lot of people who have never had that," says VanDam.
The CDC recommends all adults 65 and older and those 19 and older with risk factors get the pneumonia vaccine.
Kari also suggests getting the flu shot every year.

Texas: Oversight lacking on cops' faulty software
By Vianna Davila
The release Monday of an anticipated police computer system audit -- and the city's decision to cease use of the software -- revealed a program plagued by thorny management policies and insufficient local control.
The city audit also raised questions about the role played by the two companies who developed the system and controlled the programming language but were exempt from providing the city any documentation about their procedures or technology.

Here's what I see, As far as the human polls go, I don't see us dropping from the number 1 slot. Auburn was impressive but they were at home against a 3-5 ole miss team that hasn't stopped anyone on defense all year. Oregon beat a AP ranked team that you all know would have been ranked in the other polls if they could have.
So take a look at the current BCS rankings...
Oregon as far as the computers go are currently ranked #8. Above them, the number 2 and 3 teams Missouri and Michigan St. both lost today. That pushes us up to #6 if nobody else jumps us.
However, While Oregon was ranked #8 in the computer poll, I want you to try and find the team who, on average, is ranked #7 in the computers...
I'll wait...
Now maybe I'm blind, but I don't see one. In fact, we don't even have 25 teams who all earned a ranking by the BCS computers, see Nevada down at the bottom NR. Could it be that the computers think so highly of USC that they were ranked above us in the computer standings? It's not so far fetched to think, the mysterious computer formulas that put these rankings together might do something like that. If that's the case, the computers are going to see us beating the #7 ranked team in the nation which will give us a healthy boost.
This is all pure speculation but what if? We could gain some valuable ground on AUB and put more distance between us and the fBSU's of the world.
Here's the big if: IF Oregon gains more than 3 spots in the computer rankings, tomorrow we will be the home town of the unanimous #1 team in the nation.
Here's to hoping, and here's to this seasons biggest game, Next Saturday when UW rolls into Autzen Stadium!

Head of the Arizona Game and Fish Commission Jack Husted has resigned, effective immediately.
In a letter a Gov. Jan Brewer, Husted said he plans to spend more time with family and focus on future work endeavors.
He has worked with the commission for four years to help the department's role in managing and conserving Arizona wildlife.
Below is his resignation letter to Gov. Jan Brewer:
Dear Governor Brewer:
Having served in a volunteer capacity on several appointed boards and commissions in
Arizona, I have enjoyed my public service opportunities and in particular my service on
the Arizona Game and Fish Commission. I have worked hard over the past four years
as a commissioner to strengthen the department's role and responsibilities in managing
and conserving our state's wildlife, which is held in trust for our citizens. It has been
humbling to stand alongside other commissioners and departmental staff to strengthen
the governing pillars of wildlife management and conservation in our nation – the North
American Model for Wildlife Conservation.
However, I have come to the realization that it is time to embark on a new chapter in
my life, as a private citizen, with time to focus on my family, my faith and my
professional endeavors. So with this letter, I tender my resignation as a commissioner
on the Arizona Game and Fish Commission effective immediately. I am grateful and
honored to have had the opportunity to serve your administration as a commissioner
and sincerely thank you for the confidence you showed in appointing me.
Jack Husted

About the Column
Back in the old days, it was actually possible to visit every site on the Internet about Disney. Nowadays, it's not even possible to count all the sites on the Internet about Disney. I visit quite a few of them compiling the Hullabaloo, and often I find gems - digitally buried treasure - maintained by folks who love Disney so much it doesn't matter that the traffic to their sites may be a trickle. In Daily DIZcovery, I'll pick a different dynamite Disney site every day, typically one you've never heard about, and hopefully turn their trickle into a torrent.

One portal to find them all, one portal to link them
Wouldn't it be nice if there were one site with links to every Disney site on the web?
Actually, no, that wouldn't be nice because there are too many Disney sites on the web, many of them dormant for months or years, and many others with little to interest the typical Disney fan.
What would be nice is a 'portal' with links to the better, active sites.
MousePortal is a big step in that direction.
It links to just under 200 Disney sites in 5 different categories, and you can either search or browse the database.
The layout is simple, even minimalistic, and of course, that's my kind of site.
MousePortal has room to grow - but not too much. I know of plenty more quality sites not currently in its database, but the owner is wise not to throw open his doors to every Disney site on the planet.
The one thing I can't figure out is why the owner wishes to remain anonymous. I sure couldn't find an e-mail link or contact form on the site.
But that's my pet peeve and doesn't lessen the value of MousePortal.
Come back tomorrow for another Daily DIZcovery!

The census confirms what most of us have observed. It is heartwarming to see the involvement of the Asian community in Palo Alto affairs. I hope, too, that the Asian community will adopt and help preserve the values that have made Palo Alto the wonderful city it is.

Let's get off this nasty cliff
December 19, 2012-- Furniture Today,
Ray Allegrezza
In fact, if statistics were music, we could have been singing the opening bars to "Up, Up and Away" by the Fifth Dimension.
But when we opened our eyes, rather than flying in a beautiful balloon, we suddenly found ourselves precariously perched on the very edge of a nasty cliff named fiscal.
So, what's that mean to retailers counting down the shopping days till year's end - or to the consumers who seem to be counting every last dollar?
According to at least one consumer confidence index, the notion of falling off a fiscal cliff has consumer confidence taking a swan dive.
Last week's consumer confidence index report released by Thomson Reuters and the University of Michigan showed that consumer sentiment fell to 74.5, a significant dip from November's 82.7.
The authors of the report also noted that when respondents were asked to identify what economic news they had most recently heard about, 25% of them commented that they had heard about the possibility of higher taxes in conjunction with news about the fiscal cliff.
Since consumers' outlook is often seen as a predictor of their planned discretionary spending, which represents some 67% of the U.S. economy, the report cautioned that the most recent dip in consumer sentiment could spell trouble for retailers who rely on fourth-quarter holiday sales.
When the survey looked at the dip in confidence by household income, it learned that the drops were most severe among those in the top-third and bottom-third income levels.
Confidence among middle-income families fell 3.9 points in early December from late November. Meanwhile, confidence among low income households and top-income ones fell 9 points and 12 points respectively.
Even more troubling is that every day we get closer to the cliff with no solution in sight.
Republicans and Democrats got us up here. Isn't it time for both sides to work together to get us down?

A case solved in Carter County. Investigators said it's all thanks to your tips received after one of our Monday's Most Wanted reports.
We first told about a pair of thieves breaking into several cars across Carter County last month, Now, the sheriff's department has made three arrests in connection with these crimes.
Investigators said they have linked two juveniles, with whom law enforcement is very familiar, and George Joshua Harrison, 18, from Elizabethton.
Police believe Harrison was the get-away driver, and would drop off the two juveniles while they broke into cars, and then would pick them back up.
The Carter County Sheriff's Office received more than 20 auto burglaries from April until June. Investigators said the crimes were committed all over the county, including Biltmore to Bristol Highway. The crimes did have several connections though.
Capt. Mike Little tells News Channel 11, "they were all related because of the hours they were occurring and the fact they were just hitting vehicles, and it looked like they were just doing very rapid hits."
So, during our Monday's Most Wanted we showed you a picture of two people breaking into a car, thanks to one of the victims.
"They were actually able to catch some pretty grainy images, but images none the less, of two guys breaking in, breaking into their car," said Little.
That's when investigators said they received several leads linking two juveniles and George Joshua Harrison, to the crimes. Day's later deputies pulled over Harrison. During the traffic stop one of the juveniles took off running, but deputies were able to make a big find.
"Inside the vehicle we recovered a tremendous amount of stolen property which we were conclusively able to link back to the auto burglaries," said Little.
The sheriff's office was able to connect 13 of the auto burglaries to the three.
"Anytime you can solve that amount crime, it's a good day for us, and I know it's a good day for the victim," said Little.
That includes Helen Taylor who was a victim, and had camping equipment stolen. "That's the greatest relief I ever felt. Yes, I am glad you caught them," said Taylor.
These arrests also help make headway in solving similar crimes for police in Washington County, Johnson City and Elizabethton.
All three suspects are facing multiple charges, including at least 13 counts of Auto Burglary and numerous counts of Theft Over $500.
Investigators also tell News Channel 11 they believe one of the juveniles could be moved into the adult system, because of the number of charges.
One other link officers made during their investigations, all the victims admitted to leaving their car doors unlocked, which made them very easy targets.

Total Recall: Part Fives
With Resident Evil: Retribution hitting theaters, we look at other movie franchises with stories too big for just four installments.
Sequels! We love to complain about them, but clearly, we can't get enough of 'em -- or at least that's the message we keep sending at the box office, where they seem to take up a greater percentage of the grosses every year. Of course, nothing lasts forever, and when it comes to film franchises, the audience's fondness for the characters tends to run out around the third film -- but there are some notable exceptions, such as the Resident Evil series, which makes its fifth(!) trip to the big screen this weekend with Resident Evil: Retribution. In honor of this momentous achievement, we decided to take a look at other fifth installments, and came up with a list that's more impressive (and less reliant on horror sequels) than you might think. One, two, three, four, five: this Total Recall's working overtime!
Battle For The Planet Of The Apes
Why Five? Mainly because the execs at 20th Century Fox couldn't help themselves -- even though the Planet of the Apes sequels had been a study in diminishing box office returns, the films were still cheap enough to make that they all turned a healthy profit, so a fifth installment was more or less inevitable.
Franchise Changes: As the ticket receipts slowed for the series, the studio's purse strings tightened, making Battle for the Planet of the Apes a rather cheap-looking affair; in addition, screenwriter Paul Dehn, who'd written the second, third, and fourth films, had to bow out -- although he was later brought in to polish the eventual script, resulting in a cobbled-together story (and an eventual credit tussle in front of the WGA).
The End? Sort of, although Apes lived on as a pair of TV series before returning to the screen in 2001 (with Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes remake) and 2011 (the series reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes).
The Dead Pool
Why Five? Because the fourth Dirty Harry movie, 1983's Sudden Impact, was the highest-grossing in the series, raking in nearly $70 million in the U.S. while spawning the endlessly parroted catchphrase "Go ahead -- make my day" and proving that when you have a squinty guy with a gun, the sequels pretty much write themselves.
Franchise Changes: Each Dirty Harry movie has a different director, and The Dead Pool was no different; Buddy Van Horn, a onetime stunt double for Clint Eastwood who went on to direct him in a number of films, steps in here. Other than that, Pool adheres pretty strictly to the formula (which is exactly as it should be).
The End? Yes. Despite having a prime summer opening slot, Pool went down as the least profitable entry in the series, and Dirty Harry Callahan was finally allowed to retire -- although not before sharing screen time with the members of Guns N' Roses and a young Jim Carrey.
Death Wish V: The Face of Death
Why Five? Because even over the age of 70 (and just a few years away from hip replacement surgery), Charles Bronson wasn't finished with the Death Wish series -- and there were still people willing to cut a check to make another sequel happen.
Franchise Changes: Habitual vigilante Paul Kersey (Bronson) is now a member of the Witness Protection Program, which has given him a new alias (and bizarrely decided to move him back to New York City, site of the original Death Wish and Death Wish 3). Other than that, not much has changed -- there are bad guys who need killing, and Kersey's there to help.
The End? Most definitely -- Bronson was much too old to convincingly portray an action hero, and the box office returns for Death Wish V were awful. Still, every so often, someone floats the idea of a remake; although Sylvester Stallone apparently thought better of it after publicly mulling taking over the series in 2006, it seems likely that someone will eventually (ahem) pull the trigger.
Fast Five
Why Five? Because just when it seemed like the Fast and Furious franchise had run its course -- or at least veered off into a Bring It On-style series of endless, vaguely connected sequels -- 2009's Fast & Furious pulled it back on course with a $363 million hit that reunited members of the original cast. Clearly, it couldn't stop there.
Franchise Changes: Well, it added Dwayne Johnson and sent the action to Rio. But other than that, this series has a formula that you don't alter -- fast cars, furious drivers -- and Fast Five reaped more than $625 million in exchange for not messing with it.
The End? Nope -- Fast Six is scheduled to roar into theaters on May 24, 2013.
Final Destination 5
Why Five? People like watching teenagers die ugly, apparently.
Franchise Changes: The vast majority of the cast members in any Destination movie don't last long enough to pop up again in a sequel, so fans know each film is going to give them a whole new crop of victims. This time around, one small wrinkle was introduced in the form of some advice from recurring character Coroner Bludworth (Tony Todd), who reveals that anyone who cheats Death has to claim someone else's life in order to stay alive.
The End? It remains to be seen, although the last installment's $157 million worldwide gross would seem to suggest future Destinations in store.
Friday the 13th, Part V - A New Beginning
Why Five? The fourth Friday the 13th was billed as "the final chapter," but the enduring commercial popularity of the series meant it was only a year before a hockey mask-wearing maniac would once more terrorize the randy teens of Crystal Lake.
Franchise Changes: This Friday lives up to its "A New Beginning" subtitle by leaving Jason Voorhees dead and buried, instead imagining a grim future for young Tommy Jarvis, his killer in Part 4. Now grown up and played by John Shepherd, the understandably troubled Tommy is sent to a camp for wayward teens -- only to find himself forced to contend with a wave of killings perpetrated by a seemingly revived Jason.
The End? Absolutely not -- the Friday the 13th movies would continue to provide teen scream fodder throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and aughts, sending Jason to Manhattan, Hell, and outer space before pitting him against Freddy Krueger (more on that guy later) and ultimately rebooting the series with 2009's Friday the 13th.
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Why Five? Because Michael Myers needed to get revenge, silly. Also, 1988's Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers put the slasher franchise back on track (after 1982's Myers-free Halloween III: Season of the Witch), and producer Moustapha Akkad wanted to keep the gravy train rolling.
Franchise Changes: While the ending of Halloween 4 suggested that Myers' niece Jamie (Danielle Harris) was going to follow in his serial-killing footsteps, Halloween 5 mostly stuck to the established formula of having Myers begin the film in some sort of coma, wake up in late October, and embark on a murderous rampage. One significant twist this time around was the introduction of the Man in Black, a Myers accomplice whose purpose would eventually be revealed in Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers.
The End? Nope. Like Myers himself, the Halloween franchise just keeps lumbering along, with H20 and Halloween: Resurrection following in 1998 and 2002, and the Rob Zombie-directed reboots Halloween and Halloween II hitting theaters in 2007 and 2009. We're sure we haven't seen the last of Michael Myers.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Why Five? Because J.K. Rowling wrote seven Harry Potter books -- and with each film adaptation grossing an average of nearly $300 million in the United States alone, there was no way we weren't going to see all seven of them on the big screen.
Franchise Changes: The fifth Potter film brought a new director (David Yates) and screenwriter (Michael Goldenberg), as well as the franchise's first foray into IMAX 3D; in terms of casting, it marked the first appearances of Helena Bonham Carter as the gleefully wicked Bellatrix Lestrange, as well as Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood. A fair amount of change -- but it didn't put a dent in the reviews, which were again largely positive, or the box office tally, which topped out near $940 million worldwide.
The End? No; in fact, thanks to Warner Bros.' decision to split the series-concluding Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows into two chapters, the film franchise went on to outnumber the books.
The Muppet Christmas Carol
Why Five? Because the Muppets had been missing from the big screen for too long -- their last appearance was in Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird -- and after Jim Henson's untimely death in 1990, the company that bears his name needed to prove that the show must go on. What better way than with a Muppetized interpretation of the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol?
Franchise Changes: Apart from the obvious major change -- Steve Whitmire stepping in as the voice of Kermit the Frog in Henson's absence -- Carol also finds human actors figuring in more prominently than previous Muppet movies. An annoying development for hardcore fans, perhaps, but one mitigated by the presence of Michael Caine, who lent his signature charm to the role of Ebenezer Scrooge.
The End? Certainly not. Although the Muppets' box office fortunes weren't exactly spectacular during the 1990s, and they spent the early aughts absent from theaters, they returned in a big way with 2011's The Muppets -- and with a sequel in development, we should be seeing more of them soon.

Anna Kournikova is looking full and happy in the absence of her is-he-or-isn't-he-man, Enrique Iglesias. On Thursday night Kournikova partied at SET's Rotten Apple party filling out a short red dress with some new curves, her hair pulled back in a ponytail, with a girl friend and Saudi Prince Faisal in tow, ordering four bottles of Cristal and four bottles of PJ Rose. Curvy Kournikova looked happy, dancing until three in the morning, and was spotted again the next day chowing at Nobu with a bevy of girlfriends.

My name is Milan Joksimovic and I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy, Medical College of Wisconsin. I have received my BS degree at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, PhD at the Iowa State University, Ames, IA, and completed a postdoctoral training at the Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
My scientific background is at the intersection of neuroscience, developmental biology, and genetics. I am particularly interested in development of the midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDA). Aberrant function of these mDA underlies a broad spectrum of disorders including Parkinson's disease – a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that affects more than one million people in the US. To generate effective therapeutics, it is crucial to decipher molecular mechanisms underlying generation of these neurons including proliferation, cell fate specification, migration, and correct axonal projections of mDA. In an attempt to provide answers to some of these basic questions, my laboratory uses conditional mouse genetics, genetic fate mapping, and various molecular biology techniques.

"One man of courage makes a majority."
Andrew Jackson, quoted in John F. Kennedy's "Profiles in Courage."
In these recent pages it was written that tax increases are good, and deserve, in effect, a complimentary chapter in JFK's "Profiles in Courage" for any politician who votes for more of them. Perhaps this was also meant to cast a spell of reflected glory over the rubber stamping of repetitive tax increases, displayed by our own Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante and Congressman John Tierney. Baffling, isn't it?
When I was a Democrat, and John F. Kennedy my boyhood hero, I re-read his book often. I wish I could find my dog-eared copy. However, I don't remember that any of the senators profiled there were praised for tax increases. Rather, the subjects of each chapter were praised for having had the courage to stand apart from their powerful colleagues, voting their own consciences against strong peer pressure.
Incidentally, didn't JFK himself lower taxes in 1962? To "Get America Moving Again?" Here are some words from a speech he gave then:
"The federal government's most useful role is not to rush into a program of excessive increases in public expenditures, but to expand the incentives and opportunities of private expenditures. ... When consumers purchase more goods, plants use more of their capacity, men are hired instead of laid off, investment increases, and profits are high. Corporate tax rates must also be cut to increase incentives and the availability of investment capital."
Nevertheless, for decades, since Lyndon B. Johnson's grandiose founding of a "Great Society" (to accompany his disastrous Vietnam War escalation), one hears time after time how courage and statesmanship are noble qualities displayed by sponsors of repeated tax increases. Isn't it true that these very increases have depressed our economy? And, more personally, don't so many families' tax burdens now also make it impossible for one adult to decently support a spouse and their young, allowing a father or mother to be at home with little children? Also, please notice Barack Obama's new health care taxes, fines and red tape that are throttling crucially needed new employment, on Cape Ann as well as everywhere else.

The saga of the "West Memphis Three" reaches a thrilling if somewhat anticlimactic conclusion in "West of Memphis," a documentary financed by Peter ("Lord of the Rings") Jackson and directed by Amy Berg.
Berg, who directed "Deliver Us From Evil," the documentary damning Catholic priests and child abuse, here pulls together a riveting story built on one of the most notorious murder cases of recent history.
In 1993, three young boys were killed and dumped in a ditch in West Memphis, Ark. The West Memphis Three, socially outcast teenagers, were caught, tried and convicted and spent nearly two decades in prison despite rampant evidence of medical examiner incompetence and police and prosecutorial misconduct.
The case was kept alive and in the public eye largely on the strength of a trio of documentaries by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. Their "Paradise Lost" films inspired ongoing media interest in a case that seemed both sensational allegations of ritual sexual abuse and satanic or occult murder and closed thanks to "the finality of judgment." One of the teens confessed.
Witnesses came forward alleging that one of the boys, aptly named Damien, was into the occult. The state of the bodies seemed so awful that only devil worshippers could be responsible, or so the theory went.
"We've got a story that is very, very believable," one interview subject recalls hearing. "So believable, it's almost perfect."
That story, manipulated by the local police and trumpeted by an ambitious prosecutor, was the one lead they pursued. It worked and won convictions.
Berg, working with a private investigator hired by Jackson and longtime companion Fran Walsh, interviewed a retired FBI profiler Jackson put on the payroll, and interviewed the victims' families (who were, the closing credits tell us, compensated for the interviews). He weaves this tortured tale into a compelling narrative that has twists and turns, blind alleys and lots of interviews with Damien Echols in his jail cell.
Jackson appears on camera, talking about the steps they took to immerse themselves in the case. Musician Eddie Vedder and actor Johnny Depp got deeply involved. The "WM3" became a cause célèbre among the celebs. And then Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks got sucked into it and played an even bigger part in casting doubt on the guilt of the trio.
It's a fine summation of this complicated story, one that focuses heavily on Echols and his sweeping declarations about the state of justice in Arkansas and America. Enduring almost 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit entitles him to that. And to the fact that Echols and a woman he met by mail and married while in prison, Lorri Davis, are producers on the film.
But for all the ebb and flow of this saga, the TV news footage and snippets of newspaper stories about the case sampled here, the omission of more than a passing mention of the "Paradise Lost" films robs "West of Memphis" of some of its credibility. If anybody anywhere knows anything about this case, it's because of those two filmmakers Berlinger and Sinofsky. They wouldn't agree to be interviewed here?
Maybe they were concerned that Jackson's money would allow him and Berg to take credit at the end when they hadn't been there since the beginning.
Which is the worst thing you can say about this otherwise righteous, if somewhat star-struck film. The "Paradise Lost" guys moved the ball down the field, all the way to the end zone. Now, a new owner and his backup quarterback are spiking the ball.

If you lost your home because of a financial hardship, beyond your control, you may not have to wait a few years to buy again. According to tonight's Money Watch Q & A guest, the Federal Housing Administration's Back to Work program is allowing qualified applicants to buy a home as soon as one year after foreclosure, short sale or bankruptcy. Peter Padilla of Summit Funding, Inc. will be taking your calls about this program between 5-6 p.m. at (775) 858-2222.
As you will hear in tonight's Money Watch Q & A, through the FHA Back to Work program a lender will first have to determine if you meet the FHA loan requirements. You will need to explain how the financial hardship was something beyond your control and prove that it reduced your income or caused you to lose employment. If your household income dropped by 20% or more for at least six months, you may qualify for the financial hardship. Also, to re-establish credit you must have a 12 month record of on-time rental housing payments with no delinquencies.
To start an application with an FHA-lender, you must first take a "pre-purchase counseling" course with a HUD-approved housing counseling agency 30 days before you start the application. A certified counselor will assess your debt, ability to afford the mortgage, features of the mortgage, explain mortgage insurance and the loan application process.
To learn more, please tune in to Channel 2 News at 5 p.m.
After our phone lines close, you can reach Peter Padilla during regular business hours at the contact information posted below:

5 Earnings Trades for a Highly Correlated Market
MINNEAPOLIS (Stockpickr) -- The S&P 500 is within 50 points of the lows reached in early August 2011, and investors can expect the market to test these lows in the next week or two. Given that we are still a few weeks away from third-quarter earnings, there is a dearth of news that could provide support to stocks.
The correlation among the S&P's 250 largest stocks is at 81%, vs. the 30% historical average -- the highest it's been since 1987. Stocks are moving in lock step, irrespective of individual fundamentals, which indicates a high degree of fear and inefficiency in the market.
Related: 5 Rocket Stocks to Buy This Week
What can break the spell of high correlation? Last week, several stocks releasing earnings results moved independently of the market in the moments of trading after news was released -- moments that provide a small window of opportunity during which fundamentals actually matter. Traders getting a good read on where the numbers will come in relation to Wall Street estimates can make big money trading stocks during this time of high correlation.Here are my thoughts on five earnings trades for a highly correlated market.

Second Life Komjuniti Survey
A new study has just been released. It is a new survey by Komjuniti, a Hamburg, Germany about Second Life marketing efforts. The study found that more than 70% of the site's users say they are disappointed with the marketing that goes on in SecondLife.com. (Second life is a virtual world) My thoughts –>where Second Life has taken on the feeling of the old Dot Com era, lots of companies like IBM, Toyota and others running to get on board. But the Komjuniti survey is missing the point. Second Life is a different way of marketing. I am sure the ROI is very low but we are just at the beginning of new social media like virtual worlds, podcasts, social media websites such as MySpace, Flickr, Gather, Ning etc. I feel that these early adopters are on the right track. Front runners in this new landscape. Lewis and clarks of the new frontier.
A study like this is valid, but as the landscape changes in marketing, media, training, events and such, it is missing the big picture. I dont watch TV commercials anymore. Never. I tivo thru them all. I also don't listen to the radio, I listen to podcasts, on demand stuff, what I want to listen to right now.
If marketers want to get to me they better keep trying on things like IBM and Toyota. I have spent quite allot of time in both places. The people at Komjuniti never talked to me. I also saw that, 42% of all respondents surveyed doubted companies would actually put much follow-up effort into the site. This is shame, but I applaud them for trying new ways of communicating their messages. They took a shot with a small investment which really does have great potential in the future. Instead of giving up, these companies should be holding concerts and having seminars in there Second Life areas. Bringing the people in. Random Books just had Dean Koontz stop in their bookstore in Second Life and give a reading and answered questions. What a great idea and it was a total hit. Most of these second life areas don't have anyone there. They need to staff them. The whole Kevin Costner saying." If you build it they will come" does not work in real life nor in your second life. Marketers need to keep being creative and the people will come….I know I will.

D-backs rookie A.J. Pollock stays calm, shines on Opening Day
Originally published: Apr 1, 2013 - 11:23 pm
Pollock might have been a novice when it came to Opening Day, but you wouldn't know it by his performance against St. Louis.
The 25-year-old outfielder recorded three hits against the Cardinals. That's tied for the most by a D-backs rookie on Opening Day, joining Travis Lee, who collected his trio on March 31, 1998 against the Rockies.
"We were patient and it's all about hitting mistakes," Pollock said. "Today we capitalized on it. I think we did a good job of being patient and waiting for a pitch to hit and we did some damage."
In 2012, Pollock played 31 games for Arizona and bounced back and forth between the majors and Triple-A Reno.
Pollock hit .318 in 106 games with Reno last year in the Pacific Coast League. He also was named Most Valuable Player of the National Championship game in 2012.
He got the start at center field on Monday because of the sprained elbow injury former Reno Aces teammate Adam Eaton suffered during spring training. So far, he's taking advantage of the opportunity and says he was able to remain calm and composed for Opening Day because of his previous experience with the team.
"I felt good. It was like last year when you get called up and then you go back to the minors for a while and then you get called up again. It's almost like going through your first debut again," said Pollock after the game Monday night. "I got a little practice getting the nerves down and just relaxing. I guess tonight I just felt really comfortable and I just wanted to have fun."
The message he told himself all night: it's still just baseball.
"It helps a lot, mostly if you can settle yourself down, you realize it's the same game you play but a lot of the times you get the fans out there, you get 48,000 fans screaming and it really kind of dictates you know what you're doing and kind of gives you more energy and you try to do too much," said Pollock. "It really kind of settles you down if you can just get used to it."

After a stellar rookie season that saw this former Honda team clinch not just the Constructors Championship, but also the Drivers Championship for Jenson Button, they had a bit of a dropoff as Button bolted for rival McLaren.…
Ferrari 458 Italia at $240,000

Stop Washington's Debt Spree with the "Cut, Cap, and Balance Pledge"
June 23, 2011
Federal spending is out of control. Over the last decade, Presidents and lawmakers from both parties have triggered an explosion in our national debt from $5.8 trillion to more than $14.4 trillion – nearly a 150 percent increase! As our leaders in Washington continue negotiations over the debt limit, NTU needs YOUR help to make sure we solve this problem once and for all.
Our President and his allies keep ignoring the danger signs that America's fiscal policy is failing. In recent weeks the Administration has been encouraging Congress to rush through an increase to the debt ceiling of $2 trillion or more. That strategy is nothing more than a naked attempt to allow Washington to rack up trillions in new deficit spending without any structural reforms. As NTU President Duane Parde has asked, "What good is increasing the debt ceiling if nothing is done to curb the reckless spending that will perpetually test any limit on borrowing, no matter how high?"
To fight back, NTU, along with a broad coalition of conservative groups, have three demands that must be met before agreeing to any increase in the debt ceiling:
House and Senate leaders appear ready to ignore these commonsense fixes and agree to a debt limit increase in return for relatively modest spending cuts. That's simply not enough. Without structural changes like a Balanced Budget Amendment, Washington will continue to throw money it doesn't have at problems it only manages to make worse.
We must remind the folks in Washington that the debt ceiling has already been raised 10 times in the past 10 years. Each agreement to increase the limit has come with promises that the federal government will get its house in order, that this time things will be different, but every year the promises get broken and business as usual continues. America can no longer afford such backsliding. Using realistic assumptions about future policies, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office projects that debt as a share of GDP would soar beyond its historical peak by 2023 and would reach 190 percent in 2035. To ensure that taxpayers are protected over the long term, NTU is working hard to make spending restraint and a Balanced Budget Amendment part of any debt limit compromise. But make no mistake – this is THE major, unified push that fiscal conservatives will be making in connection with the debt ceiling vote. If you intend to act at all on this issue, NOW is the time! Contact your Representatives and Senators TODAY. Tell them to sign the Cut, Cap, and Balance Pledge in order to put America back on the road to fiscal health.

Stratford Festival's SHAKESPEARE SLAM Features Paul Gross, Steven Page and Hawksley Workman Tonight
Paul Gross, Steven Page and Hawksley Workman are headlining the Stratford Festival Forum's Shakespeare Slam tonight, April 23, at Toronto's Koerner Hall. This celebration marking Shakespeare's 450th birthday will be hosted by Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino, and will showcase the Festival's 2014 season theme of Madness: Minds Pushed to the Edge.
Two teams of spirited debaters will square off on whether madness is inherent in the artistic process. On the one side are actor Paul Gross, famed for his portrayal of Slings and Arrows' mentally overwrought artistic director Geoffrey Tennant, and Lisa Brown, founder and executive/artistic director of Workman Arts, which celebrates and promotes the work of artists living with mental-health and addiction issues.
Opposing them are Juno Award-winning musician, Festival composer and renowned troubadour Steven Page and the Festival's resident Rhodes Scholar, the hilarious and erudite David Goldbloom, who, in addition to being past chair of the Festival's Board, is the senior medical advisor for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto and the chair of the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
Once they've hashed things over, the music begins! Hawksley Workman takes centre stage with his own brand of musical performance that is certain to leave you wanting more - which you'll be able to find in Stratford, September 11 to 20, when he presents his Bacchae-inspired cabaret The God That Comes at the Forum.
Steven Page will also offer up one of his exuberant musical performances, featuring songs combining humour and pathos in a memorable exploration of the evening's theme.
The event culminates in a truly joyous grand finale, featuring Slam headliners and members of the Festival company.
Tickets for the Shakespeare Slam go on sale March 11. They are priced from $39 to $54, with a student price of $29. To purchase, call the Stratford Festival box office at 1.800.567.1600. Tickets are also available through Koerner Hall.
The Shakespeare Slam serves as the launch of the Stratford Festival Forum, which will present more than 200 events this season, including featured speakers Margaret Trudeau, Jian Ghomeshi, Muhammad Robert Heft and Camille Paglia, as well as concerts, comedy shows, screenings and performance showcases exploring the playbill and the theme of Minds Pushed to the Edge.
The Stratford Festival Forum is very pleased to welcome Bell Let's Talk as a new partner and the Host Sponsor for the Shakespeare Slam as well as selected Forum events that focus on mental health throughout the 2014 season.

The diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin)is the only North American turtle fully adapted to life in brackish water (mix of saltwater and freshwater). Its home is in coastal salt marshes of estuaries along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. Although they can live 40 years or more, most turtles do not make it to their first birthday, because they are prey for foxes, otters, raccoons, skunks, and birds. If they do survive, females begin to reproduce relatively late—between the ages of eight and 13.
This combination (high rates of death for young turtles and long wait until females reproduce) reduces the terrapin population's ability to increase quickly. Other factors that reduce the terrapin's survival rates include sea level rise and land subsidence, combined with human dwellings and roadways along the shoreline, and sea walls and other structures built to protect them. These factors contribute to the loss of tidal marsh habitat and the safe haven they provide for nesting and reproduction.

Video: The Tough Questions About Testing
Unit testing is a part of Test-Driven Development, but TDD is not only about Unit testing. In TDD, you usually write tests before you write any application code, and these test serve as documentation. However, Behavior-Driven development is a less well-defined term. Some contrast BDD and TDD while others say that they're they are like two sides of the same coin.
Bob Silverberg is the principal consultant at SilverWare Consulting. In this interview he discusses Test-Driven Development and Unit testing. Silverberg says that the two techniques sometimes get confused with one another.

ONTARIO - Hillwood chairman Ross Perot Jr. told an audience of real estate professionals this week that he thinks this is the right time to invest in California.
"We believe the bottom of these cycles is the right time to be aggressive," he said while delivering the keynote address at a National Association of Industrial and Office Properties conference at Ontario Convention Center on Wednesday.
Hillwood is the master developer of Alliance California, the sprawling complex of distribution centers that surrounds San Bernardino International Airport.
Perot Jr., who is the son of the 1992 and 1996 presidential candidate, founded Hillwood in 1988.
In his speech, Perot Jr. said Hillwood has survived enough real estate cycles for its executives to manage a course through the post-2007 housing bust and the slow recovery that has followed.
Perot largely sidestepped the Texas-versus-California arguments that contrast the Lone Star State's laissez-faire reputation with the Golden State's strict regulatory environment.
He did say Hillwood is generally optimistic when it comes to business prospects in California, for one reason being the strength of the state's technology sector.
Hillwood, Perot Jr. said, is pursuing residential projects in coastal markets like San Jose but would not pursue the same kind of investments in San Bernardino County.
"Would I put a lot of housing out in the Inland Empire?" Perot Jr. asked. "I wouldn't. If you can see the water, I would."
Perot Jr. also said he expects the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach - key to his firm's investments in distribution centers - to remain competitive after widening of the Panama Canal is completed.
The Panama Canal project, set for 2014 competition, would allow for larger vessels to pass through the canal and conceivably allow for exporters to send goods to Texas or East Coast ports instead of Southern California destinations.
"Hopefully, it will give completion to your ports, and your ports will become more competitive and more efficient," he said. "California will continue to dominate (shipping)."
Alliance California is the site of the recently announced Amazon fulfillment center, which may employ more than 1,000 people after its expected opening this fall.
The Texas-based Hillwood's projects include InterChange Business Center in San Bernardino, Hofer Ranch in Ontario and the proposed Renaissance Rialto.
The Rialto project involves redeveloping Rialto Municipal Airport in cooperation with the Upland-based Lewis Group of Cos.

Truro City of Lights
Truro City of Lights
What's it all about?
Nothing heralds the Christmas season quite like the warm glow of festive lights and this year the theme is Kings and Queens. The hugely anticipated Truro City of Lights festival and parade lights up the city in in spectacular fashion delighting the crowds who gather to see display. Music & Arts start from 5.45pm. City of Lights Parade from 7pm.
What happens?
One of the most anticipated family events in Cornwall's festive calendar, the City of Lights is a vividly creative celebration incorporating art, music, dance and, as its name suggests, light. The event features a dazzling procession of giant handmade withy and tissue lanterns floating through the streets carried by professional artists accompanied by a host of smaller lanterns carried by Cornish school children and local community and youth groups. Every year the procession as a different theme and is escorted by feast of music and dance including samba, brass bands and pipes & drums. In advance of the procession, there is music throughout the city including performances by school groups and the festivities continue after the procession with more outdoor music performances at various locations.
How can you take part?
The parade starts at 7pm and the city gets very busy so then advice is to get there early, do a bit of festive shopping then find a good view point along the mile long route.
There is a new route for 2013. The procession will begin on Falmouth Road and snake its way down Lemon Street, before turning onto Lemon Quay where it will circle the perimeter before heading onto Boscawen Street via Lower Lemon Street. From here the procession continues its journey up St Nicholas, River and Frances Streets before culminating at Waterfall Gardens and Hendra Park, allowing for a more 'up close and personal' bird's eye view of lanterns and happy faces of schoolchildren, dancers and musicians in comfort and safety.
The Park and Ride will be operating every 10 minutes and will pick up and drop off at the the Bus Station on Green Street.
Did you know?
Truro's gothic revival cathedral spectacularly illustrates the city's prosperity in the 19th century. Copying the great cathedral builders of the medieval age, its huge spires soar over the city skyline, and inside there are some of the finest examples of Victorian stained glass in the UK.

Oregon Football has had dealings with a street agent, which is generally regarded as a bad thing. However, the Oregon Ducks claim that, to their knowledge, Will Lyles ran a legitimate business and they paid him for legitimate business services. In an attempt to comply with NCAA rules and clear themselves on charges of any wrongdoing, UO is in the process of releasing documents related to the NCAA inquiry.
The most significant of these payments is probably a $25,000 payment to Complete Scouting Services, Lyles' company, for a national recruiting package. The reason this is important is because the payment for services was made shortly after Oregon signed two recruits that Lyles advised.
At present, it's impossible to say that Oregon did or did not do anything wrong, but the newly released documents are at the very least, interesting. The NCAA's investigation is ongoing, and the university will probably release some more documents in the coming weeks in an attempt to prove they did nothing wrong.
For the latest on the investigation, stay tuned to our StoryStream. For more on the Ducks, check out SB Nation's Addicted To Quack.

Theresa Brady appeared in court for the first time after officers arrested her on Tuesday at her home. Police say she tried to kill her husband by injecting him with insulin while he was asleep.
Brady appeared in Albemarle Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Wednesday in a closed hearing, but search warrants filed in circuit court give us clues as to what happened early Tuesday morning that sent police rushing to her Albemarle County home.
On Tuesday, a 911 call went out from a home in the 300 block of Ellington Bend in Crozet at around 3:30 in the morning. After an initial investigation, police arrested 33-year-old Theresa Lynn Brady and charged her with attempted murder.
According to search warrants obtained by NBC29 on Wednesday, Theresa Brady used insulin in an attempt to kill her husband James Brady. He is a captain with Albemarle County Fire Rescue.
According to the search warrants:
James Brady was in court for the bond hearing. Theresa Brady refused bond and will stay behind bars at Albemarle – Charlottesville Regional Jail.
Theresa Brady will be back in court for a preliminary hearing September 17 at 10:30 a.m. in Albemarle Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.
Insulin being used as a murder weapon is not unheard of, but "The Poison Review" cites scientific research proving its ineffectiveness as a weapon. Click here to learn more about the effects of insulin.

A new local group in Waco is working to change the image of African Americans in the community. Saturday nearly two dozen people marched in Waco.
In light of the George Zimmerman trial, the group, Black Men Standing was formed.
Members say there's been too much negativity surrounding black Americans and they want to show that not all African Americans are thugs or in jail. They want to promote "every day black me who stand up in their homes, communities and careers."
Black Men Standing Supporter, LaCurtis Jones says it's a call for change.
"To be honest, all black folks need to stick together and stop this black on black crime said Jones. "It's very important to show how strong black men and women are to help out our society for our children growing up."
McLennan County Commissioner Lester Gibson spoke at the rally before the march. He says, even though not many people turned out, they can still make a difference.
"I think the peaceful march with a few is good, you know regardless. Maybe we keep on and get the awareness and we'll get people out here," said Gibson.
Saturday was just the first of many planned marches. The group plans to hold others in Temple, Austin and San Antonio and they hope it catches on.

Hey there gang. Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on what we should do with our 1st round pick.
I know we're all hoping VM or PP will fall into our laps but what if neither is available? It's easy and fun to talk about which one of those two to pick but, and you would know this if you've played fantasy football, you gotta have a backup plan if your dream picks don't drop to you. Shouldn't we be planning for the worse possible scenario? If it doesn't happen then we have a good problem on our hands and don't need to worry. However, if NONE of the six teams before us picks up a QB and Fairley, Bowers, Green, Dareus, Miller, AND Peterson are off the board, what should we do? Do we pick up Quinn, PA? I think under that scenario (and maybe even if it didn't come to that) that we should trade back to the middle to early 20's in the 1st for another team's 2nd, 3rd, and maybe 4th rounder (depending on how far back we're trading), then pick up a second-tier but still legit DE, OLB or CB. Guys like Aldon Smith, Akeem Ayers, Adrian Clayborn, Justin Houston, Cameron Jordan and Jimmy Smith should still be there. With an extra 2nd rounder (or 1st if we trade with the Pats), we can pick up the best of the positions that we didn't get in the first. We could possibly end up with combos like Jimmy Smith-Justin Houston, Akeem Ayers - Aaron Williams, Cameron Jordan-Brandon Harris, and STILL have another 2nd and 3rd round pick to invest on a developmental QB, OL, DT, etc.
IMO I would rather we get several really good players rather than just one or two great players. We got too many positions to upgrade and not enough picks to do it. Plus, teams like the Pats and Steelers have shown us consistently that there is All-Pro talent towards the end of rounds. There's already a ton of bust potential for first-rounders as it is, why not spread out the risk by getting more players instead of putting all of our eggs in one basket?

RED WING, Minn. (AP) -- The mayor of Red Wing says he will resign amid public pressure over his second job as a frack sand lobbyist.
Mayor Dennis Egan said he could have legally continued on as mayor while he worked as the executive director of the Minnesota Industrial Sand Council. But he says he'll resign April 1 because his second job had become a distraction.
Red Wing City Council member Peggy Rehder says a special election for Egan's replacement will be discussed Monday. The City Council will drop its plan to investigate Egan's business dealings with the frack sand industry.
Red Wing is in frack sand territory. Demand for silica sand is high because it's used in hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," that produces oil and gas.
