Customer Testimonial
I would like to say how impressed I am with your service. Your website, communication and product are all of the highest quality.
Thank you for helping to make someone's day!
Allergies are extremely common and occur when the body`s immune system is triggered by a typically harmless substance. Allergies are not contagious since it is the body`s false alarm reaction to something which is benign in nature. Airborne allergies are caused by particles within the air that cause a reaction when inhaled. Common airborne allergies include pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and dust mites. Allergies are believed to be caused by genetic and environmental factors and can suddenly occur, increase in severity, or even fade away in time. Often, allergies simply cause uncomfortable symptoms such as sneezing, watery and itchy eyes, rashes or hives, and runny nose. In more severe cases, allergies can cause an Asthma Attack or Anaphylaxis, both of which can cause death. Anaphylaxis can cause swelling, a rash and itching, troubled breathing, dizziness, and loss of consciousness. It is less common for airborne allergies to cause Anaphylaxis, but its life threatening severity demands mention.
Allergies & Prevention
For Kids and Teens
Kids and Allergies (For Parents)
Asthma is a chronic disease that targets the lung`s airways and cause soreness and swelling. Since the airways are highly sensitive, allergic reactions are more severe to a person that suffers with Asthma. When the allergic reaction occurs, the airways constrict, allowing less oxygen to pass through. This causes troubled breathing, coughing, wheezing, and tightness of chest. In some instances, the airways constrict so much that air cannot get through at all. This is called an Asthma Attack and can be life threatening if not treated immediately. Asthma can be controlled by long-term treatments that prevent daily symptoms as well as fast action treatment to control the onset of an Asthma Attack. In order to control both types of symptoms, both types of treatments are preferred.

James Franco is set to play a meth dealer opposite Jason Statham in Homefront, written by Sylvester Stallone. That's right, Franco. Statham. Stallone. Together. CAN DA STAFE SURVIVE A DICKNOSING AND KEEP PUNCHING?! Add Baby Goose and C-Tates to this movie, and it would combine every object of FilmDrunk's unhealthy fixations.
James Franco is set to join Jason Statham in Millennium Films' action-thriller "Homefront," which Gary Fleder will direct from a script by Sylvester Stallone.
Story follows Phil Broker (Statham), an ex-DEA agent who moves his family to a quiet town hoping to escape his past. However, he finds the town to be overrun with violence, drug traffickers and an evil meth magnate named Gator (Franco). To save his endangered family, retribution is now the only thing Broker seeks. [Variety]
RETRIBUTION IS THE ONLY THING BROKER SEEKS IN ORDER TO SAVE HIS FAMILY, WHO HE ALSO SEEKS, OKAY SO I GUESS IT'S ACTUALLY TWO THINGS THAT HE IS SEEKING! Hey, that should be the tagline. A little long, perhaps.
We go now to The Stath, for his exclusive comment:
Oi, conts, da Stafe eah. So I got dis new movie comin' out, an' lots a blokes is awways askin' me, "Oy! Stafe! 'Ow is it dat you is so good at always comin' up wiv dese briwwiant focken oydeas for yoah fiwms? Each one is bettah den da next! Whoy, Oy've seen da Trasnporerah fifteen fousand focken toimes! Won' you please come ovva to moy flat an knob moy fit giwfriend on da rug?"
Wew, to ansah dose conts – da way it appened dis toime, Da Stafe wiz in Da Stafe's trailah on da set uv Da Expendabews 2, now weren' Oy. Da Stafe 'ad jus finished knobbin a fit bird from da makeup depahtment an oy wiz busy doin free or four fousand focken push-ups, when oo walks in da focken doah? None ovva den Sloy. Focken. Stallone, now didn't oy. Sloy 'ad jus finished 'is daily routine of HGhaiche an' metamucew, an 'ad come ovah to borrow some of da Stafe's free weights, now wasn' 'e. Stallone wiz doin' some boicep cews wiv 'is shir off, lookin' loike a con-dom filled wiv veiny dongs, when 'e wiz loike, "Oy! Stafe! Ooohheeeeyooooeeeeeeeyyy. Oooooaaaaagghooooeeey. Aa aaa ououeeegghy."
An' Da Stafe wiz loike, "Oi, Tommy, you tit, whoy 'asn' you transla'ed mistah Stallone yet?" (Because oy awways need Tommy to translate fa Sloy, don' Oy, Tommy? In fact, if blokes wiz to make a fiwm about Tommy, it moight be caw'ed 'Da Translator.' Only it wid be wew focken boring, cuz da only bird you evva see Tommy wiv is 'is focken mum, an da cont ain even got a bloody droivah's loicens, 'asnt he.).
So den Tommy foinly translates fa Mistah Stallone, an it turns out dat da veiny geezah wants Da Stafe to star in dis fiwm ee's wroitin, innit. Oy ask wha' da fiwm is about, an e's loike, "Oeeey. Aa aaa ououeeeggh." An den Tommy tews me dat Sloy wan's me to play a cop oo used to be da hahdest cont around, but now 'e is wew retoired an aw dat. Den one day, some filfy drug dealah messes wiv Da Stafe's missus, and Da Stafe 'as to come out of retoiyamen an' bash aw da conts, an knob aw da birds, an droive aw da flash bloody sazz wagons again, donnit.
So den Oy tew Sloy, dat dis is da role dat Da Stafe 'as been waitin for 'is 'ole loife, now 'asn' Oy? See, Da Stafe is always gettin' toipecast. Da Stafe finks it wid be wew good fe moy careah to take a role dat's a bit of a depahtah from da usuwew fayah, now don' oy? An' dis sounds loike da perfect oppatuni'y, donnit. Da Stafe is awways playin' a cop, or a gangstah, or a guy oo is da best at droivin sazz wagons, or a cont wiv a mechanicew 'eart an aw dat. Playin a DEA agent could be a perfect way to show dem shrivs at da Oscahs dat Da Stafe ain jus some hahd cont oo aw da birds love, Da Stafe 'as versatiwity, now don' Oy? Dis role wid give Da Stafe oppatuni'ies. Today, a retoiyud DEA agent. Tomorrow, praps a crippewed 'olocaust orphan oo plays da focken cello or whatevah bollocks dem Oscah conts is keen for. See, ta tew da truf', Da Stafe 'as awways lived loife loike da only trophy dat Da Stafe needs is da fit birds dat Da Stafe knobs, an da flash sazz wagons dat Da Stafe droives, now don' oy? But if Da Stafe is bein' onest wiv Da Stafe, an' Oscah trophy wid be wew noice as wew, now donnit. When Da Stafe wants somefin, Da Stafe droives up to it an frows it in da boot of Da Stafe's sazz wagon, because dat is da Stafe's way.

Police say cell phone video was instrumental in helping them identify a suspect in a recent shooting in downtown Austin. That video was shown exclusively on FOX 7 last week and now more video of the crime is surfacing.
Police tell us 21-year-old Donavan Hunt was performing with his rap group "Da Young Outlawz" inside of Quantum Lounge the night of November 7.
After an argument between "Da Young Outlawz" and another group got heated, police say Quantum Lounge management asked them to leave.
New cell phone video shows the arguing continues as several people leave the club. All of a sudden a fight breaks out. A few seconds later police say Donavan Hunt pulls out a gun and starts shooting, striking two men.
"I see him trying to point at me and so I'm trying to move around. The last shot I jump, cause I see him point at my feet," said Don Walker Jr., gunshot victim.
Don Walker Jr. was shot three times; in his foot, right arm and chest.
Other cell phone video, shown only on FOX 7 last week, was also obtained by police and was a helpful tool in their investigation.
"The cell phone video allowed us to do screen captures of individual frames on the video, which we were able to send out to the media and it was put up on websites. We got information from citizens on those videos that identified the people in them," said Detective Calvin Pierce, Austin Police Department.
At this point police say they are following up on leads and hope to arrest the suspect.
"Originally we believe he's from Louisiana but there were some addresses in Austin that were associated with him that we've been checking out and still trying to locate him at this time," Pierce said.
We spoke with Mark Hempson, a lawyer for Quantum Lounge, he says he has never heard of the group "Da Young Outlawz" and they were not performing that night. He also maintains that nothing happened inside of the nightclub.
We searched for crime statistics within a 500 feet radius of where the shooting happened.
It shows that since September, there have been nine assaults causing injury and two aggravated assaults, five of those incidents were connected to a bar or nightclub.
TABC tells us they have their own investigation underway. They are waiting for APD to finish theirs before they can proceed.

Artists join forces for rescue charity
5:43pm Wednesday 21st November 2012 in News
TWO leading outdoor artists have joined forces to raise funds for the volunteer-run Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team.
For the first time in his long career, watercolour and pastel artist Len Tabner has allowed a painting to be printed as a limited edition and sold to the general public.
Northallerton-based landscape photographer Joe Cornish has photographed and printed Mr Tabner's Looking over to Roseberry and beyond from the Wainstones – after snow.
The rescue team transported Mr Tabner, of Staithes, and all his equipment to and from the inaccessible site in February. The original painting has gone on display in Mr Cornish's Northallerton gallery, which will also sell the prints. Mr Tabner said he had wanted to help the rescue team as people tend to forget they are there until they are needed.
He said: "They do a marvellous job, as they know the landscape so intimately and work so well as a team. I want to support them in any way I can."
Rescue team spokesman Barry Warrington, said: "This gesture by Len Tabner and Joe Cornish, two giants of the art world, will clearly have a significant impact on our fundraising activity.
"I feel sure that there will be no shortage of demand for the results of this limited edition print run."

Rani Mukherjee turns 35By Eye TV India Bureau
In the News
Bangla babe Rani Mukherjee turned 35 on March 21, 2013. She began her acting career at an early age of 18, with her father's film 'Biyar Phool' (1996) and later made her Hindi film debut with 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat' in 1997. Though her film didn't fare too well at the box office, powerful performance in the role of a rape victim won her critical acclaim. The light eyed beauty never looked back and her 1998 films 'Ghulam' and 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' took her career graph to a high. She consolidated her stardom with blockbuster films such as 'Saathiya' (2002), 'Veer Zaara' (2004), and 'Black' (2005). Thus, she became the B-queen. After her 2009 'Dil Bole Hadippa!' that failed , Rani turned choosy about her films.Buzz is that the charming girl will soon be marrying with the Yash Raj Chopra banner's icon Aditya Chopra. In fact, she has been reportedly traveling to Europe with Aditya. Her fans are keenly awaiting to see their idol get married and settled in life like many of her contemporaries.
Most significantly, Rani is teaming up with Karan Johar after almost six years and plays the role of a journalist in his next release 'Bombay Talkies'. The last time she played a journalist was in 'No One Killed Jessica' where she got many accolades for her performance. Rani and Randeep Hooda play a married couple in the film. 'Bombay Talkies' marks 100 years of Indian cinema and will release on May 3 2013. 'Bombay Talkies' is a bouquet of four stories directed by four different directors - Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee.

Singer Justin Bieber sits courtside as he watches the Miami Heat host the Indiana Pacers during Game Seven of the Eastern Conference finals of the 2013 NBA Playoffs at AmericanAirlines Arena on June 3, 2013 in Miami, Florida.
- Filed Under
Well, Biebs, you've done it again.
Justin Bieber pulled out all the stops tonight, rocking a memorable leather ensemble for Game 7 of the Heat-Pacers series. The outfit also came equipped with multiple gold chains and sunglasses, which were being worn indoors at a time when Justin was not, as far as we can judge, exposed to any direct sunlight. The pièce de résistance, however, was the Miami Heat hat Justin wore, which is a weird shade of blue (maybe cerulean?) and has some sort of water effect going on.
Speaking of water-turns out that Justin Bieber is one of those people who does not tip his head ...

Dr. Tish Oney, vocalist, arranger, pianist, composer and Artistic Director of several internationally-touring productions including her brand new 'Sweet Youth' tour (celebrating the summer 2011 release of her new duo album with guitarist John Chiodini), 'The Peggy Lee Project,' 'Tish Oney's Big Band Excursion,' 'Tish Oney's Swingin' Christmas, and 'An Evening With Tish Oney,' completed her Doctor of Musical Arts degree at The University of Southern California's renowned Thornton School of Music. 'Sweet Youth' features the great John Chiodini on electric and acoustic guitars in a mesmerizing interplay of voice and guitar performing original music and duo arrangements of jazz standards the likes of which have not been experienced since Ella Fitzgerald collaborated with Joe Pass... 'The Peggy Lee Project,' resulting from Oney's dissertation research, features Dr. Oney's updated, contemporary jazz arrangements of original songs by Peggy Lee to the delight of both young and seasoned audiences. Tish's collaboration with Lee's former music director and guitarist, John Chiodini and his talented jazz trio has produced this unparalleled tribute to an important twentieth-century American female songwriter. 'Tish Oney's Swingin' Christmas,' which debuted at the famous Jazz Bakery, features your favorite holiday music gift-wrapped in contemporary and classic jazz styles. 'Tish Oney's Big Band Excursion' (Tish's new big band show) highlights her calling as a big band vocalist and features contemporary arrangements of classic and original jazz by award-winning arrangers Chris Walden, Joe Riposo and Jason Goldman. 'An Evening With Tish Oney,' Tish's solo piano/vocal show, appropriately entertains smaller, intimate venues. A highly successful crossover artist, Dr. Oney also tours as a lyric soprano soloist, performing oratorio and recitals....

AwardsThe Diane Warren Award (2005) The Barbara Troxell Award for Vocal Excellence The Falconer Prize Two SAMMY nominations for Best Jazz Vocalist and Best Jazz Album (Forever Friend) 2002 Twice inducted into national music honor society Pi Kappa Lambda 2011-12 Robert G. Boehmler Visiting Artist (Ithaca College School of Music)
(Sweet Youth is) a vocal jazz album, but one with a nice sort of difference, given that the vocals of Tish Oney are only backed by a bit of acoustic guitar! Yet despite the lack of familiar piano, bass, and drums, Tish has a hell of a swinging sound...one that often leads off a tune without the guitar, and then seems to inspire the instrument to stretch out on its own! She's a hell of a singer with a great ability to stretch out her lyrics in true jazz-based ways, really inflecting things yet never going too far over the top, and making for a nice mix with guitarist John Chiodini on the record. Titles include a few nice originals: Year Round Blues, Sweet Youth, Lonely Evening, and Ask Seek Knock plus versions of Alice In Wonderland, September In The Rain, and Tis Autumn. (Dusty Groove America)
I had the chance and privilege to work with Tish on her Peggy Lee Project a few months back. Her artistry is extremely sharp, from perfect vocal chops to great story telling, not to mention a very well tailored show. Precise, accurate and captivating, Tish will take you on a delightful journey... Do yourself a favor, don't (just) go see her show, RUN! (Jean-Pierre Perreaux, Technical Director, The Metropolitan Room, New York, NY)
I appeared with Tish Oney in Las Vegas at the Dennis Bono show. The house was packed and she was working on her Peggy Lee Project at the time. As a professional singer for over 25 years I can say that Tish is one of the finest and smoothest vocalists I have ever heard. The variety and complexity of the songs she performed were great.... not only that, she brought down the house! When you need a pro, call Tish Oney. (Larry G Jones, Comic Singing Impressionist celebrating over 2,000 Las Vegas shows)
Dr. Tish Oney is introducing a new generation to the songs of Peggy Lee while putting her own spin on them, but Oney is so much more than this project. She is one of the finest arrangers and composers on the jazz music scene today and her vocals are breathtakingly beautiful. (Joe Montague, Riveting Riffs Magazine)
By the end of her first tune it was evident that Oney had a beautiful voice, warm and low. . . She sang perfectly in tune with amazing breath control, and her time (meter) was impeccable, and most of all, phrased with complete respect to the lyric. . .I had the realization that I was listening to a true jazz singer doing a beautifully presented themed show, such as you might hear at a fine NYC jazz cabaret such as Michael Feinstein's by singers like Ann Hampton Callaway, Jane Monheit, or the late Blossom Dearie. I also recall that only once before, attending one of Cleo Laine's Las Vegas appearances, I said every singer in town ought to be here, for this is a singing lesson, as well as great performance and entertainment. I now can say the same thing of Tish Oney. 'Happy With the Blues,' a fast and challenging opus was done as a dialogue between voice and bass without piano. It was a tour de force of vocal prowess, high risk for anyone without superb pitch and infallible rhythm. 'Lullaby of Birdland' bubbled with Tish's amazing ability as a scat singer, utilizing refreshingly new scat words and sounds. After performing her final selection, 'I Love Being Here With You,' it was more than evident that the audience loved being there with Tish and company. (Frank Leone, Editor of Jazz Notes! The Newsletter of the Las Vegas Jazz Society and President, Las Vegas Musician's Union)
When Tish Oney sings, the sweetness of her soul blooms like a pungent, colorful, beautiful orchid, and that should be enough for many listeners. Add that she is arranging and re-interpreting the repertoire of singer/songwriter Peggy Lee, is accompanied by Lee's former music director, guitarist John Chiodini, assisted by former Lee soloists trombonist Bill Watrous and vibraphonist Bob Leatherbarrow, endorsed by Lee's granddaughter, and you have the makings of a perfect win-win situation. Oney has a truly pitch-perfect voice, wonderful phrasings, and enough swing or scat to own her personal page in the legitimate jazz singer's ledger. Seriously--this woman and her team not only do these songs justice, but can easily elevate them to an area that will thoroughly please Lee's fans, and turn a new generation on to them. Tish Oney does Lee and her songs prouder than anyone in contemporary times, and should give more famous singers like Diana Krall, Dianne Reeves, or Jane Monheit pause for concern. She's firmly on their trail. (Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide)
Tish Oney really delivers the lyric! Performing music from The Peggy Lee Project, her senses of swing and phrasing along with her effortless tone and vocal finesse draw listeners at all levels of musical sophistication into the story she tells. Tish not only carries the torch for all the great ladies in jazz, but keeps the genre alive and current. (James D'Arrigo, Producer, The Dennis Bono Show, Las Vegas)
Oney presents Lee's songs in her own style, placing them within a modern context, while taking advantage of the wonderful band which she has assembled. It is a treat to listen to a singer who is poised, relaxed, and who imparts a feeling of unhurried elegance. Oney's diction is so precise that the listener has no trouble hearing all of Lee's clever lyrics. (She) is able to mirror Peggy Lee's sophistication without slavishly copying it. Oney's excellent skills as a producer and arranger are noticeable on 'Dear Peg,' as the songs flow effortlessly and the arrangements feel natural and appropriate. There is no doubt that 'Dear Peg' will introduce a new audience to the fine songs that Peggy Lee penned throughout her long and celebrated career. 'Dear Peg' also marks the arrival of Tish Oney, a welcome addition to the jazz scene. (Steve Gedrose, Riveting Riffs magazine)
Tish Oney is an impressive singer with a subtle style within the jazz mainstream. Oney digs deep into the songs and shows that she is one of the more rewarding jazz singers currently based in the Los Angeles area. 'Dear Peg' is highly recommended. (Scott Yanow, L.A. Jazz Scene)
A voice like Tish Oney 's is a prime example of what other jazz singers strive for. Pitch perfect. Crystal clear. . . and all encompassing. Her innate understanding of the art (both emotionally and intellectually) not only reels you in willingly and begging for more, but creates a memory that lingers on far after she leaves the stage. (Michael Sterling, Producer, Sterling 's Upstairs at Vitello 's, Los Angeles)
The lovely Dr. Oney serenaded the enthusiastic crowd with medleys of songs by Porter, Van Heusen, Gershwin, and Kern, among others. Her bell-clear voice was the perfect instrument . . . Oney is also a songwriter herself. Her composition without lyrics 'Waltz For Ellie' showcased her talents as a scat singer, while her 'You Make Me Think I 'm In Love' could easily find itself in The Great American Songbook one day. (Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA.com)
Miss Oney was absolutely a treat. A voice reminiscent of Doris Day and others from the bygone Jazz era, she delighted everyone in the mostly packed club with hits from the Great American Songbook. There did not seem to be any style she was not comfortable with. . . she is certainly ready to take LA and make it her own. Keep your eyes open and your schedules clear for any future dates with this beautiful lady with a voice of gold! (LA Times.com)
An amazing voice. (Gary Morgan, CBS Radio Los Angeles)
Tish Oney, as a purist vocalist, combines a formal background with a jazz style that oozes with phrasing and execution but still is delivered with ease. In our club environment, this is called perfection. (Bob Masteller, Owner and Jazz Musician, The Jazz Corner, Hilton Head Island, SC)
A brilliant vocalist. (Frank Malfitano, Executive Producer, Syracuse Jazzfest and Detroit Jazz Festival)
Tish has a calm and cool style that conveys understanding while her vocals resonate with emotion. Tish sings from the heart. (John Chiodini, Former Musical Director for Peggy Lee, Guitarist and Composer)
Tish Oney is a fresh, new vocalist who swings with the best of them, while always remaining willing to explore the musical 'road less traveled'. (Ray Brinker, jazz drummer)
The best voice I've heard since Doris Day. (Les Brown)
Oney, a 2001 SAMMY nominee for Best Jazz Vocalist, has delighted audiences from Hawaii to Rome with her swinging scat and soulful ballads. She's the consummate jazz artist, with vocal technique and improv skill to spare. (Kate Stevenson, The Syracuse New Times)
(Tish Oney performed) an intimate and classic evening of jazz/cabaret that filled my heart with nostalgia. Ms. Oney's crystal clear vocals, and the soft yet extremely intricate accompaniment of her truly talented musicians, gave the evening a charm and quality rarely seen today. The three performed as one-- simple and eloquent. As they say, less is more. This show was the most. (Stu Hamstra, editor, Cabaret Hotline Online)

- Summary: 10 DS players can battle with only one Tetris DS card. Each of the six modes of play features a theme based on a classic Nintendo game, such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda or Metroid. The traditional Tetriminos (falling blocks) and line-clearing strategy remain the staples of the game, but the touch screen adds a new element of interactivity. Some modes give players special Tetris puzzles to solve. Others feature head-to-head action between two players, or massive wireless battles between 10 DS users, even if only one player has a game card. Players also can log onto Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to compete in two- or four-player battles. Tetris DS even includes a point-based rating system based on players' battle results. Opponents can see one another's ratings, which indicate their skill levels. Every gamer, whether competitive or casual, will find a way to reconnect with one of the most popular puzzle games in history. Look for more details about the new game play modes on Nintendo.com in the weeks leading up to the game's release. [Nintendo.com]… Expand

The game simply rocks and in my opinion this is the best puzzle game money can currently buy.
The new modes combined with intense multiplayer options (single card, multi card, and WiFi) will literally have any fan foaming at the mouth.
Tetris DS does what Tetris has always done: delivers an addictive, simple, and challenging game that anyone can enjoy and Tetris DS also does it with a few new bells and whistles that give you even more than you need to enjoy it.
Not a perfect version of Tetris by far, but still a good one, and the online play should be enough of a selling point for anyone who's a fan of the game.
Puzzle fans should be all over this – besides the classic Tetris there are enough variations to keep the challenge consistent.
Wickedly addictive -- just like the original -- and the wifi element works extremely well. It's an irresistible package, and a win for puzzle fans.
A little too retro to be anything other than a game to play in short bursts, this new-look Tetris would be just the thing for a short journey.

What's not so great: Me turning off my DS to grab something to eat...

You have been told for years to cut back on your salt intake to avoid health problems like high blood pressure. But now a surprising new study says cutting back may not be worth the struggle.
In fact, an independent panel of health experts claims you could even face some harm from an ultra-low sodium diet. In a report to U.S. health officials, the Influential Institute of Medicine reviewed the link between salt and health.
The group acknowledged that Americans as a whole eat too much salt but questioned how much one should cut back. Today's report is prompting an outcry from health organizations and doctors alike that say if anything people eat too much. They point to restaurant or fast food meals which have almost the daily maximum sodium allowance in just one sitting.
"I think it's a big mistake. Right now the recommendation from the federal government is for people to consume no more than 2,300 mg a day and Americans consume almost 1,000 mg more than that," said Deborah Ekery, Cardiologist at Heart Hospital of Austin. "We see that all the time, when family members come in town or celebrating something and eat out a lot. They usually end up in heart failure or in the hospital."
People we spoke to around town admit they have a diet heavy in sodium.
"I've had a problem with blood pressure and my weight so I've been trying to reduce my salt content in what I eat when I'm out and at home. When you eat out it's hard to control the salt but you can sure taste it," said Jim Livingston.
"My diet is full of salt. Too many appetizers and coming from a Latin background I have a lot of salt in my diet unfortunately. It's a must absolutely," Benjamin Factor said.

UFC 159's main card rolls on with a fight between heavyweight sluggers Cheick Kongo (18-7-2 MMA, 11-5-1 UFC) and Roy Nelson (18-7 MMA, 5-3 UFC).
Kongo is looking to once again form a winning streak while Nelson is again looking to position himself for a big fight. UFC 159's main card airs starting at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on pay-per-view.
How do these two stack up?
Kongo: 37 years old | 6'4" | 82" reach
Nelson: 36 years old | 6'0" | 73" reach
What have these two done recently?
Kongo: W - Shawn Jordan (DEC) | L - Mark Hunt (KO) | W - Matt Mitrione (DEC)
Nelson: W - Matt Mitrione (TKO) | W - Dave Herman (KO) | L - Fabricio Werdum (DEC)
How did these two get here?
Cheick Kongo has been in the UFC forever. He made his promotional debut at UFC 61, but has been an up-and-down fighter throughout his UFC career, mixing in some big knockouts with some horrendously boring fights, with one of those coming in a win against Shawn Jordan in his last fight at UFC 149. Kongo has wins over the likes of Mirko Filipovic and Pat Barry, but has lost nearly every big fight he's been in, with big losses to Cain Velasquez, Frank Mir and Mark Hunt.
The winner of "The Ultimate Fighter 10," Roy "Big Country" Nelson has seen arguably the toughest road of any TUF winner, with his three UFC losses coming to Junior dos Santos, Frank Mir and Fabricio Werdum, all by decision. But outside of those fights, h's stopped Brendan Schaub, Stefan Struve, Filipovic, Dave Herman and Matt Mitrione. Nelson's heavy hands have led him to some big wins while his iron chin have made him competitive against much more talented fighters.
Why should you care?
If this is a vintage Kongo clinch-fest against the cage, this could be horribly boring. However, Nelson's heavy hands and Kongo's deteriorating chin make this one interesting should it be fought at range. Also, you can count the low blows from Kongo!

In a memo obtained by Kara Swisher, AOL's Silicon Valley chief, Brad Garlinghouse writes, "I realize this is a small step [,] but I believe [it is] an important, subtle signal both internally and externally that we're changing the way we think as a company and more importantly, our approach to the way we work together as a team."
Go team? Maybe this is why we're seeing so much more spunk from AOL commetners lately?

Officers say they have found the moped the suspect was driving, but they are still searching for the robber.

Sung Shan Air Force Base
The World > Asia > Taiwan > Taipei
August 14th is the Air Force festival to remember the first air battle victory of ROC Air Force in August 14th 1937.
That day, the enemy (Japanese Army Air Force) wing group was takeoff from Taipei Sung Shan AB, the same base we celebration today.In fact, this event has been delayed twice due to 2 typhoons.
It is really hard to see such a air force event in Taipei, Sung Shan AFB is the same as the Taipei Songshan Airport. But the entrance to the openhouse is located on Mingchuan East Road.
At the Arrival lounge of Taipei SongShan Airport. 4 handheld shots.
Taipei Songshan International airport at night. Very convenient to the downtown Taipei.

Edward Lankas and Nanette Gingery of NEXT STEP Coaching (nextstepcoaching.com) are life-long learners who are passionate about personal growth and self-development. Their personal journeys of growth and success awakened a passion for sharing with their clients the power of possibilities, purpose, dreams, and living into one's vision. As licensed psychotherapists, Nanette and Ed have been helping people change their lives and achieve beyond their expectations for years. Becoming professional coaches and working with individuals and organizations who want to achieve their full potential was a natural fit for them.
The two studied with Maria Nemeth, Ph. D. the founder of the Academy of Coaching Excellence (ACE), an International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited school. ICF's core purpose is to advance the art, science, and practice of professional coaching for its over 20,000 members. There is a specific learning model associated with coaching, and it is important to utilize a coach who has been properly trained and has already proven their competency through an accredited schools rigorous training program. Part of our job as coaches is to help educate people about what coaching is and what coaching is not so they can choose wisely, spend wisely, and receive maximum results.
Coaching is not mentoring, consulting, or counseling. Coaching is collaborating with clients to identify their purpose, vision, and goals, while creating awareness about self-limiting beliefs and possibilities for their personal and professional lives. Coaches draw out the best from their clients and then support them toward achieving their goals.
Choosing a professional coach can be compared to choosing whether to hire a dentist or a carpenter to work on your teeth. Although they both know how to use a drill, one is trained and qualified to be working on your teeth. Working with you – YOUR LIFE, YOUR GOALS, and YOUR DREAMS – should not be taken lightly. After all, you can replace your teeth, but you only have one life to create.
Edward Lankas and Nanette Gingery are also certified Founding Partners of the John Maxwell Team who specialize in leadership coaching, speaking, and training. They work with organizations to develop leaders, create corporate cultures, and develop healthy working teams through education and coaching.

Yes, it starts off a little hammy with some pretty boilerplate dialogue -- "We're live." "Abort!" "It was a set up.." -- and an unnecessary plug for the iPhone, but it's not long before the new trailer for "Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol" settles right in and delivers the big, badass set pieces you expect when you plunk down your $12 at the multiplex.
Marking the live action debut of "The Incredibles" director Brad Bird, he is clearly going big or going home. Like the "Contagion" trailer earlier this year, we get a character death in this one too as -- **spoiler alert** -- Tom Wilkinson eats it in a rather spectacular fashion after uttering the famous line, "Your mission, should you decide to accept it." From there, this thing goes full throttle and white knuckle with an endless array of dazzling set pieces and action sequences. Clearly, no amount of money has been spared and this thing is gonna blow out your eye sockets. And despite the presence of all kinds of digital gadgets and tomfoolery, 'Ghost Protocol' -- at least in trailer form -- avoids the trap of becoming obsessed with its toys and keeps things physical and visceral, because Bird wisely knows that's the stuff that gets pulses pounding.
Yeah, this thing won't be up for Best Picture, but we'd be lying if we didn't say that "Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol" was near the top of our list of films to see in December. Could Brad Bird have delivered the best installment yet? We're betting on it. Join Ethan and company on December 16th in IMAX or on December 21st at a theater near you. Turn up your speakers and watch below.
Peter A | November 24, 2011 7:41 PM
What would impress me is filmmakers clever enough to make an exciting movie without violating the laws for physics right in the trailer. Sadly, Mr. Bird fails that test. Sir, an explosion does not propel you kicking and waving through the air like a great gust of wind. The shock wave purees your insides even if shrapnel never touches you. Ask an Israeli or war veteran or others who have lived with explosions, instead of learning physics from past Mission Impossible trash.
LA2000 | October 29, 2011 1:26 AM
The trailer is fantastic in the portions where the characters aren't speaking. The minute they open their mouths, it's really cliched and unsophisticated and the performances seem...barely adequate. At least they brought back the MI theme in this trailer instead of Eminem. The theme is arguably a bigger asset to the series than Tom Cruise. It was dumb to have skipped it in the last trailer.

this looks terrible. Nothing worse than 40+ year old Renner and 50 + year old Cruise (in capri pants) trying to look young and play roles better served for guys 10 years there junior.
I know the film hipster thing to do is act like this movie is going to be awesome because it's from a Pixar director, but this looks terrible

School of Science Research Initiatives
MIT to Create New Climate Initiative Devoted to Climate Science
The recent "climategate" events and the ensuing scandal have cast an unflattering light on climate science, calling into question whether it is being carried out in the rigorous, high-quality manner that scientists and the public have every right to demand. In response to these developments, climate scientists at MIT, Professor Kerry Emanuel and Professor Daniel Rothman, are proposing a new way forward that, if successful, could alter the culture of climate science and help train the new generation of climate scientists exceptionally well-equipped to tackle the hard problem of understanding the climate system.
This climate think tank proposed to be named the Lorenz Center, in honor of their late colleague Edward N. Lorenz, would drive right at the fundamental scientific questions, unencumbered by the now-dominant culture of the field in which research is overwhelmingly focused on the elaborate modeling and prediction. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scientists would be financially supported to allow them the time and freedom to pursue their ideas, however unconventional.
Find out more about how the School of Science proposes a fresh approach to climate science.
How Cancer Begins
If you're worried about getting cancer, do yourself a favor: steer clear of red meat and rich foods, and avoid cigarettes. In this lecture, Robert Weinberg provides the scientific basis for this commonplace advice, as well as a layman's look at the genetic, biochemical and environmental factors that make good cells go bad.
Normal cells are civic-minded, lining up together in a precise architecture that gives structure to body tissue. When the cell's genes are damaged, they send out faulty instructions, turning orderly structure into a chaotic mess. This kind of injury to cells likely comes from the outside – as many as 90% of human cancers are due to bad diets and smoking. Weinberg wants to understand the specific pathways by which the cells' enemies invade and do their damage, in hopes of then being able to halt the process and freeze a cancer's growth. But, cautions Weinberg, better to count on prevention than a cure in the fight against cancer.

MIT Tackles The Energy Problem
The MIT Energy Initiative ( MITEI) was launched by MIT President Susan Hockfield in May 2005 to mobilize the capabilities and experience of the Institute. In her inaugural address, Hockfield noted, "[It is] our institutional responsibility to address the challenges of energy and the environment....Tackling the problems that energy and the environment present will require contributions from all our departments and schools...bringing scientists, engineers and social scientists together to envision the best energy policies for the future."
MITEI is now an Institute-wide initiative designed to help transform the global energy system to meet the needs of the future and to help build a bridge to that future by improving today's energy systems.
The MITEI program includes research, education, campus energy management and outreach activities that cover all areas of energy supply and demand, security and environmental impact.
Find out more about how MIT is tackling the energy problem and at the MIT Energy Initiative site.

Zionsville Goes the Whole Nine Yards for SB 2012joewadlington No Comment
Indianapolis will not be the only place bustling with Super Bowl madness this February. With over 150,000 people flooding to the Circle City, the suburbs are stepping up to shoulder some of the burden. These 150,000 people need places to stay, eat and entertain themselves—Zionsville is answering the call.
Z-bowl Winterfest, a four-day calendar of fun sponsored by the Zionsville Town Council will keep visitors (and locals) enthralled. The big game takes place on Sunday, February 5th, but fans will begin arriving several days beforehand. Winterfest activities will begin that Thursday the 2nd and continue until kick-off.
If the Z-bowl Winterfest is answering the call, then Valerie Swack is holding the phone. Valerie, a Zionsville town council member, co-chairs Winterfest with Ellie Brown and Ellen Butz, President of the Zionsville Parks board. Their hope is to benefit Zionsville by showing the nation what a great town it is—the economic boost shouldn't hurt either.
"Ellen and I were talking about the Super Bowl a few years ago in Miami and thought we should do something for Zionsville to pull some visitors our way," said Swack. "This is a true grass roots effort, but we pitched our plans to the Super Bowl Host Committee and they selected us as a Super Celebration Site. We're pretty excited!"
The event's website www.Zbowl2012.com features an extensive list of all the places to eat, shop, and event calendars for the four-day super weekend in Zionsville. This directory is sure to move visitors through out the city and hopefully spread the Super Bowl business wealth.
Z-bowl Winterfest boasts a variety of events. All ages will be roped into the festivities, as the menu is notably family friendly, a common theme in Zionsville. "It's a natural fit," added Swack in regard to the flavor of Zionsville and Z-bowl Winterfest. "We didn't have to re-invent ourselves [for Winterfest] we are just doing what we do well."
Starting on Friday, participants can go ice skating in Lion's Park. Whatever the weather, it won't get in the way of the synthetic ice rink that Z-Bowl is boasting. The rink is made out of an ice-mimicking polymer, so even if it is 80 degrees and sunny (a possibility with Indiana's fickle weather), Winterfest will skate on. They've also prepared an 80' dual toboggan run for the next day. This run has snow cannons ready to make faux flakes even if Mother Nature doesn't.
The Walk & Roll Football Camp is one of the main events of Z-bowl Winterfest. This day camp is for children K-8 of all physical abilities. 200 children with and without special needs will get to play football alongside high school, college and NFL football stars. Taking a step in the philanthropic direction, Z-bowl Winterfest will be sending all the profits from this event to benefit more special needs programming in Zionsville.
Z-bowl Winterfest is an impressive attraction put on by a fabulous section of our city. It is sure to leave tourists and locals alike thinking great things about Zionsville. More information regarding Z-Bowl Winterfest can be found at www.Zbowl2012.com and their Facebook page. There is even a Z-bowl blog to cover all the preparation.
