The Un-Private Collection: A New Museum for Los AngelesLos Angeles Central Library (630 W 5th St, Los Angeles, CA 90071) Map it Free
On Sept. 12, The Broad will present a discussion about art collecting in the U.S. as a powerful force for public/private partnerships and civic engagement. The Un-Private Collection: A New Museum for Los Angeles will be held at 7:15 p.m. at the Central Library's Mark Taper Auditorium in partnership with the Library Foundation of Los Angeles's ALOUD series. The talk will feature Eli and Edythe Broad and Joanne Heyler in conversation with Inge Reist, director of The Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting. Reist, a scholar who has written and lectured extensively on American collectors and collections, will lead this examination of the history of renowned private art collections in Los Angeles and the many public institutions that arose from private collections including The Huntington, the Norton Simon and The Getty. The evening will include a discussion with the Broads about their motivations for collecting contemporary art and establishing an art museum and an active lending program to share these works with the public.

GreenTech Automotive still eyeing Tunica
The selection of Tunica County as the site of a multi-million dollar automotive plant in 2009 was a coup for local economic development officials. GreenTech Automotive unveiled prototypes of its hybrid and electric vehicles on June 6, 2009, and announced plans for a manufacturing facility on the county's Metro Mega Site near Robinsonville in North Tunica County.
Since then, little information has been forthcoming about the project, until GreenTech opened a local office on Highway 61 here late last year. Now company officials are making a push to purchase land in the county and start site preparations by the end of June, according to GreenTech's assistant plant manager Lindsey Garner.
Meanwhile, the company has leased the vacant Dover Elevator plant in Horn Lake and plans to have test models coming off the assembly line in July.
"We'll have full production on one shift in December, at least," Garner told Rotarians last week.

The GeneralAire Drum Humidifier is based on the evaporative pad method of adding moisture to the air. A polyurethane pad forms the surface of a slowly rotating drum which is hydrated as it turns in an automatically controlled level of water and is installed on a vertical plenum surface of any forced air furnace. It is recommended that the humidifier be mounted on the return air plenum. This humidifier can be installed with the outlet to the right, or to the left by reversing the motor mounting plate and bypass collar.
Standard Features:
The two main types of standard humidifiers are the bypass and power fan.
Bypass humidifiers can be installed on either the supply or return plenum and you run a bypass duct to the plenum the unit isn't installed on.
Power-Fan humidifiers can be installed on a vertical run of either the supply or return plenum and uses a fan to distribute humidity into the air stream.

Life with breast cancer can get pretty overwhelming. You keep getting news about your condition, your treatments, and your prognosis. Sometimes you can understand what all that medicalese means, and sometimes it goes by so fast that you don't even know what questions to ask until hours after your latest appointment. If you took notes, or had a buddy along to write down what the doctor was saying, at least you can look up those terms and statistics later. But where do you turn, to get support and information when its late at night and you're feeling confused and can't sleep? Going on the internet for answers can result in an information overload, even harder to deal with if your brain is lost in chemo fog.
Tailor your internet info searches by using social media like Twitter, FaceBook, or MySpace. You can find sites that allow you to connect with other people who have a similar diagnosis, disability, or problem with side effects. Hopefully, you'll find several people who are farther along the road that you are, and are willing to share their tips and coping strategies. If you're new to social media or online networks, try just one or two for a start. If you stumble upon a blog that interests you, subscribe to get their updates and interact with the author. Feel like sharing your own story? Set up your own blog on Caring Bridge or other free blogging sites, and see how many of your supporters will sign up for regular news from you.
While you're at it, be sure to practice good internet safety rules. Don't give away too much of your private information to strangers, and be skeptical about miracle cures or that "one old weird tip" that promises to fix your worst problems. The benefits of using social media for cancer support are great: round-the-clock answers to your pressing questions, emotional support from other survivors, and the feeling that you are not alone in the fight. Find your way in the internet maze by customizing your online community, and use it to give and receive support.

FGCU Women Take 2-of-3 in Puerto Rico
Thursday, March 03, 2005
Requires Adobe Flash
FORT MYERS, FL – The Florida Gulf Coast University women's basketball team won two of three games in a season-ending trip in Puerto Rico to finish the regular season with a 21-9 record. The Eagles sandwiched a pair of victories over the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey, 90-36 and 101-38, around a tight 79-75 loss at the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras. In the first game at Cayey, senior forward Andrea Clarke (Guelph, Ontario) had a game-high 28 points to lead six FGCU players in double figures. In the process, Clarke, who hit 13-of-14 from the floor and 2-of-3 from the foul line, became the all-time leading scorer at FGCU. Freshman forward Amber Bishko (Orlando, FL) had a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds while junior guard Megan Jones (Indianapolis, IN) had 12 points and junior forward Jennifer Santana 11 points. Junior guard Ebonie Halliburton (East St. Louis, IL) and junior guard Candy Myers (New Batavia, OH) had 10 points each. Myers saw her streak of consecutive games making a three-point field goal snapped at 34 games. At Rio Piedras, the hosts shot 45 free throws to pull out the four-point win over FGCU. The Eagles had four players foul out and finished the game with just four players on the court, including two with four fouls each. Jones and Halliburton had 18 points to lead the Eagles. Clarke hit 7-of-9 field goals before fouling out with 14 points. Junior forward Alex Kwiecinska added 10 points. FGCU came back to top Cayey 101-38 in the final game on the trip. FGCU shot 63.3 percent from the field in the first half to build a 50-18 lead and coasted to the victory. Six players scored in double figures for FGCU, led by Jones with 21 points, including five three-pointers. Kwiecinksa (19), Clarke (15), Santana (14), Halliburton (13) and junior forward Andrea Holbrook of Jeffersonville, Indiana (11) paced the Eagles to their third 100 point plus scoring output of the season. Clarke, the only senior on the roster, finished her career with 726 points in just two seasons with FGCU. FGCU, which was ranked No. 10 in the most recent NCAA Division II South Region rankings, finishes the year with a regional record of 11-8. The top eight teams in each of eight geographical regions will advance to the NCAA tournament.

When it comes time to award the 2013 Fighter of the Year, don't be surprised to see 34-year-old Urijah Faber's name in the mix. Faber fought four times in 2013, winning three of those fights by stoppage and earning a unanimous decision in his only fight that went the distance.
On Saturday, Faber put an exclamation point on his 2013 when he went out and earned a second round submission over Michael McDonald in the co-main event of UFC on Fox 9. Making the win even sweeter was the fact that it came in his hometown of Sacramento, CA.
Following the fight, UFC president Dana White offered his opinion on the year that Faber is having, putting his name next to another resurgent veteran, Vitor Belfort, "Faber's in this Vitor zone right now. The older he gets, the better he gets. If you look at how good McDonald really is, and people were so excited for this fight, he literally shut Michael down the entire fight and finished him with a great performance."
When Faber was asked about how he viewed his fourth win of 2013, which earned him Submission of the Night, he replied, "It felt like a special performance, for sure. I've been having a lot of special performances."
Faber, the former WEC featherweight champion, has not lost a fight since he dropped a unanimous decision to interim UFC Bantamweight champion Renan Barao at UFC 149. Faber said he considers that July 2012 loss a turning point, "After the Barao fight I just went back to the fact that I love what I do and reminded myself of that."
Faber's win over McDonald and his other 2013 victories over Ivan Menjivar, Scott Jorgensen and Iuri Alcantara would seem to have him in line to face the winner of the UFC 169 title unification bout between bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and Barao. White made no attempt to dispute that fact, "A couple years ago people were saying 'oh, these guys are just looking for excuses to give Urijah Faber a title shot.' You can't deny it now. You can hate. You can dislike the guy. You can do whatever you want, but you can't deny him now. The kid looks better than ever."
There's no denying that Faber would love another shot at a UFC title, but if for some reason that isn't in the cards, he's not too worried, "I'm ready to take on whoever," said Faber.
Odds are we'll have to wait until after UFC 169 takes place on February 1 from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey to find out what fighter that whoever will be.

Moot Hall organ restoration works agreed
9:00am Tuesday 11th March 2014 in News By Will Lodge, Senior reporter
AN HISTORIC organ is set to be restored to its former glory.
Lottery funding means the Moot Hall organ, in Colchester Town Hall, can be removed and brought back to its best before being returned to the hall.
Works have now been approved by senior councillors at Colchester Council's cabinet and a contractor appointed.
Built in 1902 by Norman & Beard the organ has been unplayable for more than ten years after problems with its inner workings and pipes.
The restoration works are funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund grant of £416,300 with match funding raised by The Friends of the Moot Hall Organ, including grants from The Hervey Benham Trust and The Essex Heritage Trust.

WARREN - An artist known for his scenic depictions of Trumbull County left an indelible imprint on the Valley, and his loss is already being felt in the Valley.
"He was a great guy ... loved by a lot of people and will be missed," said Sue Shafer, community events coordinator for the Tribune Chronicle. "It was a privilege to call him a friend."
James Friend, 74, formerly of Warren, died at his home Friday in Fairmont, W.Va.
He began his career as an art teacher at Warren G. Harding High School three days after graduating from Fairmont State College. From there, he would become involved in the administration, eventually becoming the supervisor for community education.
Friend's wife, Jonnie, said his biggest passion was teaching children.
"He had one daughter, but he had hundreds of others," she said.
Friend also facilitated the opening of a community youth center on Warren's East Market Street called the Miracle Station, which he developed for families and youths, holding puppet shows, skits, special speakers - a place where families to hang out and eat ice cream, recalled his daughter, Carla Sands of Zanesville.
The youth center also was a place for people to explore their faith,
"That was his passion, for people to know the Lord. I think that he made a difference in young people's lives," she said.
Aside from a more than 30-year career in education, Friend coordinated the Park and Recreation program for 13 years, during which time he helped to make numerous improvements, including the addition of lights to softball fields, the resurfacing and relighting of parking lots and tennis courts and the installation of press boxes at Sabino Field, Vidu Field and MacGregor Park, and fields at Packard Park.
"He gave a lot to the community to make people's lives better, kids' lives better," recalled Sands.
Baseball and sports were his passion, she said, and his involvement in Parks and Recreation was a natural fit. He also served for 11 years as the president of Warren AA Baseball League.
"He loved Warren. He liked what it had to offer. He always felt like Warren gave more than he was able to give himself," Sands recalled. "His life was enriched by the friends, family and the community of Warren."
"He loved the city, he loved the people, and felt that they had been very kind to him," Jonnie said.
Upon his retirement, Friend devoted time to one of his other passions: art.
"He did a lot of historic pictures of the Log Cabin and City Hall, Harding High School ... and the Newton Falls covered bridge," Shafer said of Friend's pieces, exhibits of which have been displayed in places such as the Cleveland and Butler art museums, and many are still seen in offices throughout the area and around the country.
Friend inspired local artist Chris Kasmar, 26, of Canfield, who remembers meeting him at a young age.
"It made a big impression on me. I remember being in awe of his ability to do a landscape," he said, likening Friend's line work to freestyle because it is loose, yet full of detail and a strong sense of home. "It made me appreciate the local art scene," he said.
Local artist Don Pedicini Jr. said, "His artwork strengthened the integrity of the community through his realistic interpretations of the community."
Friend's contribution to education didn't stop after retirement - he also made donations for five years to the Tribune's Literacy in Education program after holding an annual art show.
Of Friend's paintings, Jonnie said she favors his commemorative pieces the most.
"I think he loved them all," she said.
Kasmar said whenever he is in certain areas, he can still see Friend's artwork through the cityscape.
"This area will definitely be missing a great artist," he said.

This post is inspired by a Keith Law tweet from last week:
Watching Jose Iglesias take infield practice is like baseball porn
I'd like to propose a corollary of baseball porn -- sabermetric porn. This is player performance that makes a true SABR say "Wow, that's some hot sh**!." I can't easily define it, but I know it when I see it. Tim Lincecum's 14-strikeout shutout against the Braves in the NLDS? Saber porn. Edwin Jackson's 8-walk no hitter against the Rays in June? Not saber porn. This concept won't diminish the "nerds in their mother's basement" perception of statheads, but just go with it.
I came up with several nominees for sabermetric porn of the year. Only regular season stats are considered. Cast your vote in the poll below.
- Daric Barton's MLB best (for qualifying hitters) 16.0% walk rate and 15.5% O-Swing %. The plate discipline champion.
- Jose Bautista's .357 Isolated Power (Iso). Next best was Miguel Cabrera at .294. Bautista might be my selection for AL MVP.
- Michael Bourn's +13.0 EqBBR. That means he was worth 13 more runs on the basepaths than an average baserunner. Second place was Juan Pierre at +9.6.
- Brett Gardner's +39.7 UZR/150. His raw UZR was +22.3. Second place was Carl Crawford at +21.2 UZR/150.
- Tim Hudson's 64.1% groundball rate. Next best was Justin Masterson at 60.3%.
- Cliff Lee's 10.28 K/BB ratio. That's 18 walks in 218.2 innings. It took 26 innings for Oliver Perez to reach walk #18 this season.
- Carlos Marmol's 15.99 K/9. That's nearly two strikeouts per inning pitched.
- Albert Pujols, for having a "down" season and still posting the 3rd best fWAR in all of baseball.
- Ryan Zimmerman, for having the highest fWAR of any position player with positive numbers in all four fWAR components.

I love Kate Upton as much as anyone. She is smoking no doubt. But this Mercedes ad in my view is absolutely terrible. I find very little about this commercial sexy, as I assume that's what they were going for.
There is nothing sexy about what she is wearing. Nothing enticing about her blowing the suds, that is way over played. Then the guys washing the car watching her is stupid. Mercedes needs to save themselves about $5M and yank that commercial and go back to the drawing board.
I mean, if you want sexy from Kate just ask her to dance in a bikini...period:
This one is even better:
Talk about an opportunity missed.

If you're well enough to brave the hot weather, you need to be on alert for more than sunburn and heat stroke -- you also need to watch for ticks.
Ticks cause Lyme disease, which has a lot of symptoms in common with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Some doctors believe Lyme can trigger ME/CFS, but this is controversial. What we do know, however, is that Lyme's effect on the immune system is very similar to ME/CFS.
Even a healthy immune system can't defeat Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, but it tries really hard. That means the immune system switches into overdrive and starts attacking everything it can -- your joints, your organs, and your nervous system. Chronic immune activation depletes the body's resources as well. Some doctors say Lyme disease is frequently misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia or ME/CFS because they're so hard to tell apart.
In ME/CFS, the immune system is chronically activated, but so far there's no widely accepted explanation for why. While it's not as common a belief, some researchers do suspect infection may be behind some cases of fibromyalgia as well, and we know fibromyalgia involves immune system dysregulation.
I recently heard from a man I used to work with who's always been extremely athletic and outdoorsy. He was a big strapping guy with a booming voice and seemingly endless energy. He contacted me because he'd found out about my illness and wanted to let me know he'd been wiped out by Lyme. It's hard to imagine that bulldozer of a man laid out by illness, but he is.
So if the strongest immune system can't handle Lyme, what do you suppose it would do to us? The symptoms -- which are almost identical to ours -- would almost certainly compound our existing problems and add a whole new set of them as well. One ME/CFS researcher who focuses on infectious agents says the subgroup of patients with Lyme are the hardest ones to treat.
That covers why you don't want it, so how do you prevent it? My About.com colleague Carol Eustice, Guide to Arthritis, has some excellent resources for you:
I learned some great information from those articles that I'll use to protect myself and my children when we're out in the woods this summer.

I have known Lyme patients who took years to get better, but they did, usually with antibiotics of one type or another
This is a letter from the author of study mentioned:
Hi everyone,
Im the lead investigator of the study being discussed. Id like to thank everyone here for the interest in our work. But I see some misunderstanding about the study. Id like to set some things straight:
3) I should mention that the presence of the reported anti-neural antibodies does not necessarily indicate autoimmunity. Nor does it necessarily mean that the antibodies are directly causing the symptoms. What is important about our findings is that they demonstrate the presence of immunologic abnormalities in PLS and imply the existence of a disease process affecting the immune system in a substantial number of patients. This suggests that we can find out more about the disease by studying the patients immune response more closely. We might also discover specific new biomarkers to aid in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients through this approach.
Thank you for reading. I hope that my explanations were helpful.
Best regards,
Armin Alaedini

After 3 positive Elisa tests, and one indeterminate Western Blot I am still in the dark as to whether or not I have Lyme disease. I have a formal diagnosis for Fibromyalgia and CFS, but I definitely feel that something else is going on and can't find anyone who can give me a clear answer.
I have been to 2 infectious disease clinics, the first telling me that there isn't Lyme in Canada, only mass hysteria about the illness (3 years ago), and the second clinic (last year) didn't know what to do or how to move forward and led me around in circles until I finally hit a dead end. I have seen many other specialists since then but everyone shuts down as soon as you ask the Lyme question.
The doctors who do treat Lyme patients in Ontario have all closed off their waiting lists, too many patients and too much risk treating this population. I am weary of the many doctors and healers selling suspect solutions at an extremely high prices. We are a desperate population and it is easy to take our money with the right sales pitch. I have drawers full of this stuff.
People tell me to pack up and leave, seek help out of country or province, but this is extremely expensive and comes with a slim guarantee. I have read as many horror stories as I have success stories from patients who have taken this route.
It's unbelievably frustrating and frightening being a possible Lyme patient with fibromyalgia. Every passing year, getting a little bit sicker, nearing the disability mark. I'm not sure if there is a good treatment solution out there, or even a perfect method for diagnosing the illness? I've been chasing it for years. I don't know. Any suggestions??

Just shared a link and will share with you, a wonderful lady on fb, who is origionally from South America, now lives in Florida, and is recieveing treatment for Lyme, and getting better. She says its much easier to treat Lyme in South America because these sort of illnesses are diagnosed and treated all the time. Ivermectin? is one of the meds that is being used where she is. Check out her fb pg, she studied Journalism at one time, so is very articulate and has good info. Hope this helps!

I know it feels risky to seek medical care far from home, but Lyme can be life threatening, and so can FM/CFS. Having both is scary.
Lyme is a CLINICAL diagnosis, so you need a doctor who will evaluate you beyond what lab tests may or may not show. I'm in Wisconsin, and have have had CFS for decades; but I've also been infected with Lyme several times. I've been successfully treated each time in or near Wisconsin. That said, your point about doctors selling "suspect solution" is well taken. I'm grateful that the doctor who treated me most recently did not peddle any of that stuff.
One suggestion I have would be to join the Wisconsin Lyme group, or the Yahoo group of another state where you might consider going for treatment. I can tell you that Mike, the moderator of the WI group, is very knowledgeable.
A good way to find "Lyme literate" doctors in the States is the Lyme Disease Association's automated doctor referral system. They list Canada, but that search came up empty for me yesterday. You'll need to register first, and are limited to three searches every 30 days.

Proteins found in the spinal fluid may serve as biomarkers to help doctors cut through the clutter of symptoms that show up in two groups of patients those with chronic fatigue syndrome and others with lingering effects from Lyme disease. Both disorders involve the central nervous system. This provides strong evidence of a biological component.

There is a lot we dont know in this country about Lyme, and other parasites, but I have quite a few contacts and friends who are struggling with it. To be noticed, to be heard, to even be recognized as being ill.
I have a contact on fb who is origionally from South America, who has Lyme disease, but is recieving medicine and treatment for it. She says that in South America this problem is readily diagnosed and treated (not with antibiotics) because they are used to dealing with parasites and such down there. Its not a taboo topic, just a fact of life. She lives in Florida, and has a web page and all kinds of info, and keeps posting as she goes through treatement and is getting better.
Here is her fb link, to check out.
I tend to trust the people who are getting answers as compared to those who dont believe in the existance of something even when it is slapping them in the face! After all, look how long it has taken even a portion of the medical community to come around on CFS and FMS. They are slowly coming, and I am greatful, but in the meantime others with helpful info are a great resourcee!
Have a lovely day!

Encourage predators, particularly of rodents, such as foxes and coyotes. The one area I have lived in which did not have a tick problem had a local coyote pack and gray foxes in residence. Non of the human residents were troubled by ticks, moles, voles or woodchucks in their yards or gardens. Some had lived there 25 years without ever pulling a tick off their dog, whereas in communities close by without coyotes and foxes, but with deer and mice, ticks are a very common occurrence for dogs and humans. It is the rodents, more than the deer, which provide the majority of hosts for the "deer" tick. Deer also matter but they do not cover the ground as "the carpet of rodents" can, in fields and forests. Housecats, owls, some snakes and skunks also hunt mice.

Serum samples from PLS patients, post-Lyme disease healthy individuals, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and normal healthy individuals were analyzed for anti-neural antibodies by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry.
Anti-neural antibody reactivity was found to be significantly higher in the PLS group than in the post-Lyme healthy (p<0.01) and normal healthy (p<0.01) groups.
The observed heightened antibody reactivity in PLS patients could not be attributed solely to the presence of cross-reactive anti-borrelia antibodies, as the borrelial seronegative patients also exhibited elevated anti-neural antibody levels.
- July 8, 2011 at 1:19 pm(23) Heather says:
I had lyme disease and then was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2002. I'm still disabled. The lyme wasn't treated for almost a year. Be aware that the CDC says that the blood test for lyme disease is at best 50% accurate. There is a urine test that is accurate, so ask for that one.
The horrible thing about ticks is that not only do they carry lyme disease, they also carry a parasite and other infectious bacterium as well. A person can be bitten by a tick and end up with 3 or more different things to treat. In my experience, it was difficult to even be tested for lyme at all, so I haven't been tested for the rest. It's possible that I don't have true fibromyalgia and just have different tick-borne illnesses and/or the parasite babesiosis (if I spelled that correctly.)
Mycoplasma is another invader that can be transmitted by ticks. It can cause pain and fibro-like symptoms as well. Its treatment is long-term antibiotics, just like the treatment for lyme and the rest, other than the parasite which gets an anti-parasitic. Make sure to be tested for mycoplasma, too, if you're bitten.

I am a veterinary tech. We seem so more advanced in the treatment of lyme disease in dogs. For one thing we have a vaccine for lyme disease. It is only 50-70% effective but whe you are in the midwest where lyme disease is so prevelant it helps. Why don't they have a vaccine for people? we recommend testing dogs every year and will treat if we have a positive test. We don't run several tests at a high dollar we treat with 30 days of doxycycline. The human testing and diagnosing wastes a lot of valuable time that people can be treated.
- July 8, 2011 at 6:17 pm(25) Rachael says:
They did have a vaccine for people, but there were problems with it. "As of March, 2002, the LymerixÒ vaccine is no longer available. In December 1999, a class action suit was filed against SmithKline Beecham, the manufacturers of the LYMErixÒ vaccine. The complaint alleges the manufacturer failed to warn doctors and the general public that nearly 30% of the general population was genetically pre-disposed to a degenerative autoimmune syndrome, including chronic arthritis, which the lawsuit says, is triggered by the OSP-A contents of the vaccine. We know that the OSP-A contains many of the toxic BLPs that trigger LD. Many private lawsuits have also been filed from individuals who received the vaccine and are now disabled with chronic arthritis. So, this means that a safe vaccine is not yet available to the public."

Hi Rachel=
I am replying to your post on a facebook page about Lyme disease. You say you are a veterinarian. I have a sister that I live with who's dog has lyme already—but for some reason the vet has given the dog several "booster shots" for the lyme. I was wondering also–how effective is ivermectin against parasites that dogs get? I know that it is given to people (human grade iver) to kill certain parasites but in my opinion, the length of time that drs. give iver to people to kill parasites really isn't long enough to kill the "cycle" that parasites go thru—so in essence, even after taking iver—you can still have parasites–so. then what do u do? Good question!!!

lyme is endemic on my area. i have had it 3 times, with last year's bout being the worst. my dogs have had it several times also. i imagine lyme to be similar to what it must be like to suffer from a tropical disease. doxycyline for 1 month or 2 generally works if diagnosed within the initial infection. remember that the lyme spirochete acts just like the syphyllis spirochete. eventually it will infect the brain if untreated.
i've had full blown fibro for at least 15 years, but when i reflect on my childhood, i had something similar even then. i take a combo of supplements and prescriptions to manage an active, but affected life. when lyme hits, it is like a mac truck, very different from my managed fibro.
i am quite sure that long term untreated (or any) lyme causes joint damage and muscle damage, which makes fibro worse.

I have been diagnosed with fibro, chronic fatique, r.a.,,,everytime I take a lymes disease test it is negative..And I did get a bullseye years ago treated with a antibotic. I finally received info on a test done in california that uses several different types of ticks along with viles of your blood. Usually the results are positive, not like here in michigan with only one type of lymes disease test. To all the pain and sleepness nights, I hope this really helps.

text: Hard to believe we went an entire decade without David Cronenberg, master of provocatively hallucinatory cinema, serving up his specialty. Cronenberg didn't go on extended sabbatical after the Ralph Fiennes schizoid head trip, "Spider," came out in 2002; his output since includes the simmering Viggo Mortensen films "A History of Violence" and "Eastern Promises," plus the recent Freud-Jung portrait, "A Dangerous Method," with Mortensen and Michael Fassbender. Still, "Videodrome" they weren't. Finally, Cronenberg gets back to it — and in timely fashion — with his economic-meltdown riff, "Cosmopolis" (2012), adapted from the prescient novel by acclaimed postmodernist Don DeLillo. At the risk of echoing ourselves, "Margin Call" this isn't (although the two films do share a "Glengarry Glen Ross" penchant for rendering business jargon entertainingly, self-consciously generic). Robert Pattinson stars as a young hedge-fund billionaire whose cold detachment scarcely lifts all through the film's minimalist action — just an extended limo ride, mostly — even as financial catastrophe vaporizes his limitless wealth. Never mind city streets choked by over-the-top economic protests; Pattinson (above) has a haircut appointment to make, and esotericism to bandy about with adviser Samantha Morton, anonymous underling Paul Giamatti, and others. "Any assault on the borders of perception is going to seem rash at first," Pattinson declares. Um, indeed. Extras: In interview snippets, it's unclear whether Cronenberg is laughing with us at the bizarrely mannered dialogue, but he does smile about that limo shoot: "It's my version of 'Das Boot.' " (Entertainment One, $24.98; Blu-ray, $29.98; available now)

Prestwich charity leader meets the Queen
4:57pm Friday 10th January 2014 in News
THE leader of a prominent Prestwich charity has had the honour of meeting The Queen.
Karen Phillips, the chief executive officer of The Fed, which runs Heathlands Village Care Home in Prestwich, met the Queen at a lunch at Manchester Town Hall.
It was hosted late last year by the Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester Warren Smith, who is The Queen's representative for the county.
Karen, aged 62, has an MBE and is one of 10 deputy lord lieutenants for the country.
The mother-of-three began volunteering for good causes when she was aged 17 and has helped The Stroke Association, adult and young offenders and Manchester Jewish Social Services.
At The Fed, she manages a team of 400 staff and 450 volunteers.
Karen said: "In my role as deputy lieutenant I've been fortunate enough to present at citizenship ceremonies and attend various events.
"Meeting The Queen and having the opportunity to tell her about our work was a real honour.
"I was fortunate enough to meet other charity leaders who are doing some inspirational work locally."

UFC Light Heavyweight #1 contender Rashad Evans declares that "everyone is a fighter" in this new video released by the Ultimate Fighting Championship to promote his title fight against champion Jon Jones at UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans in Atlanta, Georgia on April 21.
SBN coverage of UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans
Evans, a former LHW champ, lost the belt to Lyoto Machida at UFC 98 in 2009. He had won the title from Forrest Griffin at UFC 92 in December, 2008. He made his UFC debut by winning the second season of The Ultimate Fighter in 2005 over Brad Imes at heavyweight.
Dogged by a reputation as a boring "lay and pray" fighter early on in his career, Evans put that reputation to rest with big KO wins over Chuck Liddell and Sean Salmon. Since then he's been criticized for holding out for a title shot which ended disastrously when he injured himself only weeks before his UFC 128 bout with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Jon Jones stepped up to replace Evans and took the title.

World+Dog Don't Care About Climate Change, Never Have Done
Seventeen years of continuous surveys covering countries around the world show that people not only do not care about climate change today – understandably prioritising economic misery – they also did not care about climate change even back when times were good.
The new information comes in a study released by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago – a large, long-standing and respected non-profit. The results are based on surveys which began in 1993, back in the boom times, and "are the first and only surveys that put long-term attitudes toward environmental issues in general and global climate change in particular in an international perspective," according to NORC's Tom W Smith.
According to a NORC statement issued yesterday:
The economy ranked highest in concern in 15 countries, followed by health care in eight, education in six, poverty in two, and terrorism and crime in one country each. Immigration and the environment did not make the top of the list in any country over the 17-year period; in the United States, the economy ranked as the highest concern, while concern for the environment ranked sixth. In terms of national averages, the order of concern was the economy (25 percent); health care (22.2); education (15.6); poverty (11.6); crime (8.6); environment (4.7); immigration (4.1); and terrorism (2.6), the surveys showed.
Essentially, the environment joins terrorism and immigration on the list of subjects nobody has ever been able to really give a toss about, though the compiling profs did note that in Turkey they do consider terrorism serious: the Turks rate it number one, in fact, though nobody else does. [...]
The full report from the NORC can be accessed here (PDF)

French private equity firm Idinvest Partners has acquired a stake in European life sciences investor KLS Partners, while Natixis Private Equity has exited its investment in the firm.
This new investment coincides with increased management participation in the equity of KLS Partners, it said.
Kurma has also launched its second fund, Kurma Biofund II, the first venture capital fund dedicated to financing innovation with a diversified strategy and significant exposure to rare diseases, sponsored by Idinvest Partners alongside CDC Entreprises (BPIfrance), GSK and NEA.
Christophe Bavière, CEO of Idinvest Partners, said, "This investment comes after ten years of our teams working together. When Thierry Laugel and Rémi Droller, two former Idinvest Partners employees, founded KLS Partners in 2010, they continued providing insight on Idinvest Partners' health sector investments.
"We are delighted to be able to pursue this partnership, which rounds out Idinvest's own ample expertise in digital and cleantech."
Founded in July 2009, KLS Partners provides venture capital, development capital and technology transfer in the life sciences space, including biotechnologies, health, nutrition, environmental sciences.
Founded as AGF Private Equity in 1997, Idinvest Partners was formerly part of the Allianz Group until 2010 when it joined forces with IDI Group to become independent.
It has €4bn under management. Earlier this month the firm smashed its €250m target by raking in €281m for its latest senior debt vehicle.

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) - A Southern California woman has been arrested in connection with the death of a 2-year-old girl who died from complications after eating chili powder.
The San Bernardino Sun reports (http://bit.ly/13cHfeo ) 21-year-old Amanda Sorensen was arrested Monday after an initial investigation of the girl's death.
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies went to an Apple Valley home Sunday and found the child suffering from a seizure after ingesting the kitchen spice. She was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
Spokeswoman Jodi Miller says the girl is the daughter of Sorenson's boyfriend.
An autopsy will be performed to determine cause of death.
Sorensen is being held on $500,000 bail and is due in court Jan. 9.

Better Late Than Never: Red Carpet Trends of the New Year
With the SAG Awards, Grammy's, Cannes Film Festival, MTV Movie Awards and every other award show soon to air, fashion is an inevitable topic amongst each red carpet. After the Golden Globes premiered on Jan. 15, hints of nudes and emerald green graced the bodies of our most loved celebrities.
The writers from KSU Fashion Blitz may not be as harsh as Joan Rivers and her cohorts on E!'s Fashion Police, but we have noticed the good, bad and ugly award show trends.
From Elle Macpherson in a mermaid-style Zac Posen, to Charlize Theron in Dior Couture, nude/peach tones were all the rage this year. According to viewers, Charlize was a best-dressed nominee for her gown, headband, and matching strappy heels. As for emerald green, Evan Rachel Wood sported a striking metallic green Gucci gown. Melissa McCarthy from "Bridesmaids" wore a remarkably beautiful Badgley Mischka gown with gold detail.
How do you feel about these best dressed picks? Does a nude color make these women look washed out? I want to hear your opinions!
My choices for best dressed are so diverse, and my opinions seem to differ with fashionistas around the web! It's so typical of me to break away from the norm. Jessica Biel, one of my top favorites, wore a cream colored lace Ellie Saab dress.
Now, even though I may not agree with Jessica's engagement to my first love, (Justin Timberlake), I do thoroughly enjoy her dress choice. Great job, Jess!
Inevitably, Reese Witherspoon knocked it out of the park with her strapless, deep red Zac Posen gown. As I predicted, the "Fashion Police" weren't satisfied with her beachy waves to match, and I can agree. I would've topped off the stunning ZP dress with a low chignon bun.
My worst dressed nominees are as follows: anyone wearing canary yellow (very Big Bird-esque if I do say so myself), Sarah Michelle Gellar in a blue tie-dyed Monique Lhuillier, and Kelly Osbourne. Ironically, Kelly is known for critiquing celebrity style each week. However, her faux grey hair and royal blue "pointy-shouldered" Zac Posen was an utter train wreck.
In the future, I hope to see more glitz and glam as Madonna, Lea Michelle, and Salma Hayek have shown at the Golden Globes. The Screen Actors Guild Awards are set to air Sunday, Jan. 29, and I will be taking notes on my choice of best and worst dressed nominees.
In the meantime, I will certainly be browsing the Web for more red carpet footage and reminiscing back to my prom days when I was able to get dressed up just like the women we know and love.

The fourth day of play at the Orlando Pro Summer League wrapped up on Thursday afternoon with a host of young players continuing to try and make a name for themselves.
Second-year Pistons point guard Brandon Knight had another strong showing on Thursday morning, controlling Detroit's game against the Celtics. Knight had a double-double, constantly pushing the pace and scoring in both transition and off the bounce. His 19 points and 14 assists led Detroit to a 93-79 victory. Celtics rookie Jared Sullinger had a bit of a setback in his fourth game, hitting just two of nine attempts from the floor, but did get to the line eight times to contribute 11 points and seven rebounds off Boston's bench. On the other side, Detroit rookie Andre Drummond made an impact on the interior, scoring 10 points, grabbing eight boards and blocking two shots.
The Oklahoma City Thunder edged the Brooklyn Nets in the second game of the day, 87-86. This game was highlighted by the back-and-forth play between point guards Tyshawn Taylor and Dwight Buycks. The Thunder's Buycks finished with 22 points on 10-of-15 shooting to go with five assists, while former Jayhawk Taylor poured in 23 on 9-of-18 shooting and added five assists of his own for the Nets. Taylor started the game by making his first six field-goal attempts before cooling off considerably in the second half. But his streaky play could be indicative of the Jersey native's role as a backup.
The Jazz bested the Pacers, 87-81, in the third game of the day, led by second-year players Alec Burks and Enes Kanter. Burks scored a game-high 22 points by getting into the lane and to the free-throw line, where he hit 10 of his 11 attempts. Kanter had one of his best games on Wednesday and followed that up on Thursday with a 12-point, 11-rebound performance. Guard Ben Hansbrough led Indiana with 18 points, 11 of which came at the charity stripe.
The final game of the day between the Magic and 76ers needed two overtimes to settle the exhibition. The Magic ended up securing the 77-75 win after two ugly extra sessions. Orlando forward Justin Harper led all scorers with 18 points but certainly wasn't shy chucking up shots to get there. Harper took 18 attempts from the field, including 10 from behind the arc, with the versatile big man making just three of his long-range tries as he continues to work on his range. He did, however, grab 10 boards to aid the Magic's cause.
The Orlando Pro Summer League will wrap up with its final day of action on Friday, beginning bright and early at 8 a.m. ET with the Jazz and Thunder squaring off.

John Terzani, of East Fishkill, killed in police standoff
EAST FISHKILL - A Hudson Valley man is dead after a five-hour standoff with police in East Fishkill.
Police say they were called to a domestic incident at the home of John Terzani in the early hours today.
Negotiators spent five hours trying to convince Terzani, a Mahopac High School graduate, to peacefully surrender.

Eventually, the negotiations broke down and officers failed to subdue Terzani with a Taser. Cops say Terzani then pointed a handgun at officers, prompting an officer to react with a rifle.
Terzani was taken to a hospital in Poughkeepsie, where he was pronounced dead.

Komodo National Park is located between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores in the Lesser Sunda Islands, at a distance of 200 nautical miles to the east of Bali. It has a total land area of 75,000 hectares and encompasses a number of islands, the largest of which are Komodo (34,000 hectares), Rinca (20,000 hectares), Padar, Nusa Kode, Motang, numerous smaller islands, and the Wae Wuul sanctuary on Flores. A total of 112,500 hectares of the surrounding waters are also under the jurisdiction of the park rangers.
|Komodo Island Map
In 1938 Padar and the south and west of Rinca were declared a Wildlife Sanctuary, but it was only in 1965 that the island of Komodo was formally included in the sanctuary. Komodo National Park was established by government decree in 1980 followed by the designation of Komodo National Park as a World Heritage Site in 1991.
Komodo National Park has the lowest annual rainfall in all of Indonesia, with an abbreviated rainy season in the month of January. For most of the year Komodo is dry and hot, parched by arid winds from the Australian desert that blow from April through October. Maximum temperatures reach 43 C, with minimums of 17 C in August.
Most of the Park is dry, rugged and hilly, a combination of ancient volcanic eruptions and more recent tectonic uplift of sedimentary seabeds. The irregular coastline is indented with rocky headlands and sandy bays, many framed by soaring volcanic cliffs.
Komodo island is 35km long and 15km wide, and is mountainous on a north to south axis, with an average altitude of 500-600m. The highest peak is Satalibo (735m) in the north. Most of the island is lontar palm savannah with remnates of rainforest and bamboo forest at higher elevations. On Rinca the land rises gradually from the north coast to a plateau that ends at Mount Dora (667m) in the south. The rugged south coast is very sheer as a result of volcanic activity in the distant past, as evidenced by the crater bay in which Nusa Kode nestles.
The Park encompasses most of the recognized habitat of the largest known lizard, the world famous Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis). The Park is also home to Sunda deer (Cervus timorensis), wild buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), wild boar ((Sus scrofa), the macaque monkey (Macaca fascicularis), and wild horse (Equus qaballus). All the large mammals have been introduced by man, but indigenous frogs, snakes and lizards abound on the island. The sole endemic species found on Komodo is the aptly named Komodo rat. Over 150 species of birds have been identified in Komodo National Park, many of which are migratory and more representative of Australasian than Asiatic species. Distinctive species include sulphur-crested cockatoos, imperial pigeons, white-breasted sea eagles and maleos. The seas surrounding the park teem with over 1000 species of fish and marine mammals.
