EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSHealth Monitoring Added To WV Chemical Spill Bill
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Mar. 3, 2014 1:09 PM EST
Updated: Mar. 3, 2014 1:47 PM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A legislative panel is pushing for long-term health monitoring for 300,000 West Virginians whose water was tainted by a January chemical spill.
The House of Delegates Judiciary Committee added the monitoring amendment to a regulatory bill for aboveground storage tanks. The committee passed the bill after considering about 60 amendments over nine hours Sunday through Monday.
The amendment doesn't specify how to pay for monitoring. Senate Majority Leader John Unger has suggested using $10 million in reserves for a 10-year program.
The bill further regulates many aboveground tanks holding more than 1,320 gallons. It requires 150 public water systems to craft protection plans.
By Saturday, the bill has to pass another committee and the House. The Senate has to approve changes.
The spill contaminated residents' drinking water for days.

Jordan Burroughs is a special athlete and talent. Since graduating college as a 2 time Division-I NCAA national champion for the Nebraska Huskers, he went straight into competing for Team USA in international freestyle wrestling ... and has not lost a single match since.
His double-leg takedown is executed with such great technique and speed, it might be the best the sport of wrestling has ever seen, and the move's high percentage use in MMA lead many fans of both sports to clamour for the young New Jerseyan -- and the current World and Olympic champion in his weight class -- to one day cross over.
When asked though, Burroughs has never shown a particular eagerness to try his hand at this form of combative prize fighting, making the all too familiar comment we hear from many uncertain wrestlers about not liking the idea of getting hit in the face (not many fighters really do, but stating so when asked to consider the sport is an immediate mental block to taking that step in most cases).
Earlier today on his official Facebook page, Burroughs seems to make clear what his plans are once his competitive wrestling career is up:
This doesn't completely close the door on at least an attempt at MMA, but it's looking less likely that Burroughs' pursuit of gold will ever come in the form of a UFC title.

Does anyone know a good book about pitching? I took two swings at it recently and whiffed badly both times. I would still like to find a good analysis on the subject, but I'd rather not strike out in the process.
Admittedly, when I started reading Boomer Wells' autobiography Perfect I'm Not, I didn't expect to learn anything about pitching. I expected it to be what it is -- a goofy book about baseball hi-jinx. How easy it is to intimidate opposing Little League batters when all your fans down the sidelines are Hells Angels. The sordid nighttime exploits of young men stranded in western Canada playing for the Blue Jay's farm in Medicine Hat. The disgusting living conditions that come with playing winter ball in Venezuela.
But then Wells snuck up on me. He gets to the part of the story where he's made the Bigs with the Blue Jays and he has a realization. With Dave Stieb, Mike Flanagan and Jimmy Key around, he might learn something:
We talked about pitch selection, and strategy, but more often than not, those guys gave me free psychology lessons. ...With a combined 749 years in the bigs, Stieb and Flanagan knew from good and bad experience how most sluggers, and pull hitters, and contact guys, and free swingers ticked.... These guys could hack into a batter's head at any time, pull out that guy's probable plan of attack, and then make adjustments on the mound to ultimately confuse, frustrate and kill that guy's threat.(pp.110-111)
Wells worked through a couple at-bat examples on that theme and I found myself thinking this book could get interesting. Show me how that process played out against Cecil Fielder in the context of the 1996 playoffs and we'll have something. No luck. The rest of the book becomes a succession of "I was smoking, here's my line, we won, I partied" or "I sucked, here's my line, we got creamed, I got a cortisone shot."
In the end, Wells doesn't seem to think games are won my strategy. They are won by attitude. He ends the book with this:
Want to come in fourth place? Build yourself a team by the numbers. Want a ring? Build yourself a team of hard-nosed, hard-hearted, hard-fighting (and possibly hard-living) monsters. ... Gather enough of these anti-social mutants in your clubhouse, and I promise you'll be playing ball in October. (p.407)
He then lists his "Got-Balls-Star" team. Who's on it? Roberto Alomar, Cal Ripken Jr, Dave Winfield, Andy Pettite, etc.; Lords knows you wouldn't pick those guys by the numbers. Ugh.
But this nonsense gave me an appetite to think more about pitching. So the next book I grabbed was Roger Kahn's The Head Game: Baseball Seen From the Pitcher's Mound. It promised to be exactly what I wanted. In the intro, Kahn talks with 50s Dodger pitcher Clem Labine who asks him if, after 40 years, he gets bored watching baseball:
Not at all. I study the pitcher. What's he going to throw? I study the hitter. What pitch is he looking for? I make myself become the pitcher and the hitter. Clem, they're playing chess at ninety miles an hour and that's not boring at all.(p.xix)
Kahn doesn't deliver chess at 90 mph. What follows are biographical sketches of great pitchers, from Candy Cummings through Young and Mathewson then Spahn and Koufax to contemporaries like Sutter and Glavine. Occasionally, there is a piece of pitching strategy thrown in, like this:
If he had not seen a batter before, the veteran Spahn read important signs. "A man who drops the front shoulder when he cocks the bat is a high-ball hitter. If he drops the back one, he's a low ball hitter. After he takes one swing you know whether he has quick wrists. All this is important, but pretty elementary.(p.177)
There are maybe four passages with that much insight in the whole of the book, plus brief treatments of the grips of basic pitches. It turns out there is more anatomy of the pitching duel in Baseball For Brain Surgeons. When you get out-analyzed by Tim McCarver, brother, that's sad. But there is one moment of prophecy. The last sketch is about coaching, featuring Leo Mazzone:
"You know," he said, "if you write that I know everything about pitching, you can make the two of us look foolish."
"How so?"
"Because," this unassuming scholar said, "when Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz graduate, I may get stupid very, very fast."(p.301)
Paging Daniel Cabrera.
Once I settled into this as a book of avuncular tales of the good old days, I did enjoy it for that. As a book entitled "Portraits of the Great Pitchers" it would succeed. Masquerading as The Head Game it's a rip-off.
Wanted: a real analysis about pitching.

If 2004 was the year that Advanced Micro Devices' 64-bit x86 technology caught the attention of IT, then 2005 was the year that AMD began reaping the benefits of being noticed. In April 2005, AMD transitioned its Opteron server CPUs from single to dual cores, clearing the path for eight-way servers with the same footprint and power consumption of four-way machines. Budget-sensitive buyers were thrilled with affordable quad servers that occupied a single rack unit, and AMD's share of x86 server sales passed the 10 percent mark.
This triumph of technology over marketing seems uncharacteristic of an IT market that is often slow to embrace new technology. A key enabler in AMD's growth was the market's acceptance that CPU clock speed is useless as a core criterion for selecting x86 servers. Instead, factors such as acquisition and operating costs, expandability, and throughput -- areas in which AMD leads -- have been elevated to the top of the list.
Also key to AMD's surge has been the company's refusal to give ground to Intel in any area of technology. Intel expended considerable money and energy touting the fast, scalable PCI Express expansion bus as a differentiator, but it took no time at all for AMD servers to take up the PCI Express bus as a standard. Intel's vaunted advances in front-side bus clock speed impress only when compared with prior Intel architectures; AMD servers integrate the features of the front-side bus into the CPU, leaving Intel's technology at a disadvantage.
In 2006, the arrival of four cores, hardware-assisted virtualization, and Intel's stop-gap fixes to its squeezed shared bus are sure things, but trench warfare between AMD and Intel will mean flexible road maps and, we think, the vendors holding back the most interesting bits as trade secrets. The first one or two quarters will play out as planned, but third quarter 2006 through first quarter 2007 will be a hootenanny.
Sun's low-power, low-clock-speed UltraSPARC T1 (code-named Niagara) -- an eight-core, 32-thread CPU -- foreshadows some of Intel's approach in 2006. Multiple cores and threads running simultaneously equates to more work per clock tick, and slower clocks mean cooler chips, an Intel objective that makes us very happy. Intel would also do well to address its trailing math performance, but its traditional passion for large cache -- and for getting ahead of AMD on cores per chip -- will probably win out as they're sure attention-getters in competitive ads.
Meanwhile, AMD is heading for the big iron and the Fortune 100. Intel will force AMD to focus on maxing out cores per chip, but while that horse race goes on, AMD will play its extraordinary advantage in memory controllers, I/O buses, and CPU interconnects. With 20 percent of the server market next year, even more strength in desktops, and tight relationships with ATI and NVidia, AMD will have the clout to get direct HyperTransport peripherals made.
Finally, AMD will have the ability to put a 32-way Opteron server in a 3U chassis, with the power consumption of an eight-way server, as soon as AMD and one of its key OEMs see a market for it. Intel and AMD are pulling in their cards and are leaving us all guessing, but what's sure is that 2006 and 2007 will leave us with a choice of x86 technologies born of brutal competition in engineering and price.

Joel and Ethan Coen's Inside Llewyn Davis is the portrait of the artist as a young man - a cantankerous, unfortunate, self-sabotaging young man with a guitar and a folk repertoire whose career seems doomed to oblivion. So what do we make of these qualities? And what do they say about his art? Such questions haunt this dark comedy of aspiration and frustration right to the very end.
We begin in New York in 1961, in a circular narrative that explores a week in the life of Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac), whose existence revolves around the constant search for a gig and a place to stay. He used to be part of a folk duo, but now he's a solo act. Inside Llewyn Davis is the name of his recently released album that no one is buying or listening to. He seems to be running out of options, and he's beginning to consider packing it in and taking up his merchant marine ticket again. He has almost entirely exhausted friendships and connections, but even opting out is more challenging than he realises.
Oscar Isaac and Justin Timberlake in Inside Llewyn Davis.
Inside Llewyn Davis focuses on a time of transition for its subject and the musical world he inhabits. Yet things aren't always clear cut, even when the movie is at its most saturnine or sardonic, or when it makes unmistakeable references to the era and real-life figures from it.
We're not sure where the Coens are taking us - not towards redemption, justification or a vision of popular success, but towards something more problematic and unresolved. This is a film about the strange, tormented nature of creative endeavour, and it's rooted in ambivalence. Its central character is not particularly likeable or sympathetic, but he's not grandly despicable or heroically flawed.
He often comes across as arrogant, sometimes comically, sometimes distressingly. He has jaundiced views about traditional Appalachian ballads and bands with matching Aran sweaters, and he almost seems to go out of his way to squander opportunities. Aspects of his history gradually emerge, and they clarify without justifying some of his behaviour. Circumstances conspire against him - or does he wilfully allow things to take a certain course?
Out in the cold: Oscar Isaac in the title role in Inside Llewyn Davis.
He's grimly constrained by lack of money, but also he takes decisions that seem destined to make things worse. Is this integrity, high-handedness or stupidity?
Isaac, who played Jose Ramos Horta in Balibo, has deservedly received several best actor nominations for Inside Llewyn Davis. He is thoroughly believable as a singer and musician, in several full performances of songs, and he makes the brittle, simmering Davis a remarkably sympathetic figure in the circumstances.
The film, shot by Bruno Delbonnel (rather than the Coens' usual collaborator, Roger Deakins), looks beautiful and bleak - it's a chilly world in every conceivable way. The images have the downbeat melancholy aura of an Edward Hopper painting, and the wintry ambience of the cover of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.
There are some sharply observed supporting roles. Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan play a duo who have a difficult relationship with Davis.
Timberlake plays an amiable musician who has penned a novelty number he invites Davis to play on. Mulligan's character is in a perpetual simmering rage, furious with the world in general, perhaps, but certainly with Davis, for reasons we begin to grasp.
There are supporting turns from John Goodman (as a scornful traditional jazzman with nothing but contempt for folk) and Garrett Hedlund (who seems to be channelling some leftover On The Road vibe) as Goodman's driver.
F. Murray Abraham is a pragmatic entrepreneur, while the late Jerry Grayson plays his muddle-headed opposite, a label owner mired in confusion.
Music punctuates and illuminates the film, with several extended performances that serve a range of functions. Songs have an intriguing relevance or carry undercurrents of the narrative.
When it comes to questions of art, intention, commerce and fate, Inside Llewyn Davis picks up on themes from the Coens' O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Barton Fink, but takes them in different directions: Llewyn Davis is less deluded than aspiring writer Fink, but more implicated in questions of authenticity and career than O Brother's accidental musicians.
The movie also contains one of the great feline roles - there's a ginger cat whose presence seems to define, in different ways, the choices and fortunes of the title character.
Inside Llewyn Davis opens on January 16.

There are benefits and pitfalls for any kind of registered ownership of bank accounts. The big benefit of joint ownership is that if one member of that account has a heart attack and dies instantly or is killed in a car crash, the other member has immediate access without any red tape. As long as all members in the account are financially responsible and are "tied together" financially, registering accounts in other forms can be more paper intensive and inflaxible.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Since launching in 1994, London-based label AllSaints has built a sturdy reputation around its luxe-but-tough-edged leather jackets. However, under the creative direction of Wil Beedle—who has been with the brand just over a year—it offers some pretty spiffy ready-to-wear, too. This season, AllSaints took its show on the road and for the first time revealed its new collection via an installation during New York fashion week. "The collection felt ready," said Beedle when asked why he chose Spring '14 for his NYFW debut. "We felt like it was time to show it in line with the fashion calendar, and share [our clothes] with a global community," he added. Indeed, Beedle had lots to present to the international press and buyers who came to visit AllSaints' largely black-clad mannequins, which were lined up inside a sprawling abandoned garment factory on Mercer Street.
As part of the brand's ongoing digital push, the multifaceted, two-day event included everything from a film shoot (a promo for the label's new focus on footwear) to a live illustrator—whose floral drawings will later be printed on limited-edition T-shirts—to photo shoots, which took place on the warehouse roof. Much of this was live-streamed to the AllSaints Web site. And while the spectacle made for interesting online viewing, it was a little complex for those of use who were there—in real life—to see the clothes.
Speaking of the clothes, they were great. A paper-thin knee-length bonded-leather vest—worn with an easy gray tank and a black-and-white floral-print skirt—was a clear standout, while a pair of chiffon basketball shorts, shown with a crisp white blouse and the house's signature black bomber, seemed an upmarket take on the streetwear styles we've been seeing of late. Playing with the concept of transparency, Beedle layered a hand-beaded silver vest over a white oxford, turned out a shirtdress in sheer black lace, and covered a saucy nude frock with a translucent chiffon en noir. The silhouettes combined soft draping (like relaxed silk trousers that tapered at the ankle) with razor-sharp lines (coats were clean and oversize) for an effect that felt hypermodern—and wearable.
AllSaints is available at AllSaints stores, as well as such department stores as Bloomingdale's, and online at www.us.allsaints.com.

LAWTON Okla_ Many high
school seniors are in full college mode, finding a school they like and a
program they're interested in, all in a place they are comfortable living for
four or more years.
You have to be
accepted first, though, and the competition is certainly fierce. High school
students are becoming more and more consumed by test stress. It's no secret the
college admissions process can be stressful for students, especially the
dreaded SATs and ACTs. These days, the pressure to perform is greater than ever,
and some students are going to extremes to increase their test scores. When it
came to raising her test scores on the SAT, Sarah Rodeo was determined to do
whatever it took.
"I drilled
the math all through the summer from my junior to my senior year," Sarah said. "In
the fall, I was still drilling, still taking practice SATs every weekend."
Test prep took
over her life, leaving her so stressed she even sought therapy.
"I was
feeling a horrible amount of anxiety about the SAT math section," Sarah said. "I
was pretty miserable. I missed so many things with friends."
Lisa Sohmer is
a director of college counseling and a member of the National Association for
College Admissions Counseling. She said pressure to prep is great than ever.
"Over time,
it's gotten bigger," Sohmer said. Students a few years ago talked about doing
test prep in the 11th grade, starting in the 10 grade. Now, people are talking
about having test prep courses for students in the ninth grade."
For some,
excessive prep can leave little time for anything else.
"My best
friend has given up swimming," 12th Grader Sheila Kahn said. "She's
given up hanging out with us, just so she can prep for the SAT."
"If a
student said, 'I can't play basketball, because I have to test prep' or 'I
can't be a member of the student government anymore, because I have to work on
my test prep', then that's too much," Sohmer said.
Is all the prep
even worth it? Admissions Officer and College Coach Elizabeth Heaton said
schools look for applicants within a certain school range, then focus on the
overall student.
"The idea
that test scores kind of make you stand out, I think, is a little bit of a
false one," Heaton said. "What is most important is what students are doing
outside the classroom, doing well in their courses, being interesting people
who have things they enjoy doing."
It's a strategy
that probably won't give you an advantage, according to Heaton: taking both the
ACT and SAT over and over.
have no preference of one over the other," Heaton said. "They really just want
to see the best score that the student can get."
However, trying
both tests may not be a bad thing.
"They ask
questions in a different way, and they gauge success differently," Heaton said.
"There are going to be students whose SAT and ACT scores can be dramatically
Sarah, who is
now a freshman in college, ended up taking the SAT three times, and her math
score increased by 70 points. As for whether the extra effort was worth it, she
said she's still undecided.
"I think I
over did it," Sarah said. "I think I drilled myself too much. I stressed myself
out too much."
Of course, some
students are just simply not good test takers. No matter how much they might
prep, they still do not perform as well as they would like. Many schools know
this, which is why there is a growing number of colleges and universities that
are becoming "test optional" and will still consider students who
don't submit scores.
You can find a
list of those "test optional" schools here.

Albany -- The Dougherty County Sheriff's Office gets money to fight gangs. The Justice Department will award nearly $43,000 to fund the Gang Resistance Education and Training summer program.
The G.R.E.A.T. program, as it is called, has been held in Dougherty County since 1992, and now will continue this summer thanks to the federal grant. About 150 5th and 6th graders will spend their summer days playing games and learning life lessons.
Sheriff Jamil Saba says the kids have fun, their parents know they are safe, and they are taught about the danger of gangs. Saba said "Trying to give them responsibility. Listen to your parents, listen to your teacher. Don't be going out here and listen to someone on the streets who is a member of the gang. And I think a lot of them listen. "
The G.R.E.A.T. program also reaches about two thousand students in Dougherty County's elementary and middle schools during the school year.
Saba says Captain Ralph Sproul helped secure the Justice Department grant by teaching gang awareness courses to national law enforcement groups.

The NAACP wants the school board to reconsider its vote to not renew the contract of the system's Curriculum director.
The group sent the board a letter Friday saying their decision to get rid of Assistant Superintendent Dianne Daniels was unfounded.
The board voted three to two Wednesday not to renew her contact and to fire Human Resource Director Tracy Williams. Williams was forced to leave work Friday. Daniels contract runs through June 30th.
We uncovered a letter of reprimand in Williams' personnel file from last August. It criticized her failure to communicate effectively and professionally with school system employees.
The letter says numerous complaints had been filed about her confrontational. Two board members were absent from Wednesday's meeting and the full board could reconsider the votes.Copyright 2011 WALB. All rights reserved. Feedback

Road chaos near Buckingham Palace 'could last two days'
Thousands of guests attending the start of the four-day Coronation Festival starting today had to contend with road closures near Buckingham Palace caused by a burst water main.
The closures affected parts of Buckingham Gate, Birdcage Walk and Buckingham Palace Road, with some buses having to be diverted.
Transport for London advised road users to avoid the Victoria area if possible and said the problem could last for two days.

Thinking about a facelift, but concerned about taking time off work. When can I go in public without looking like a freak (or like I just had facelift surgery!)?
Facelift Recovery
Doctor Answers (129)
Promoted Local Answer Promoted local answers are based on Featured Doctor activity within your current location.
Facelift recovery time
Facelift Recovery
For very high profile patients and / or people who don't want people to know they have had surgery, I often recommend a change in hairstyle immediately before surgery. Starting to wear eyeglasses or changing your current eyeglass frame can also make a change a bit less obvious.
Great plastic surgery won't have people asking "who is your plastic surgeon?" Instead, they will ask if you've lost weight, been on vacation, started yoga, or something else that may be responsible for you looking so wonderful.
Follow your plastic surgeons orders very closely before and after surgery

Recovery from facelift takes many forms
Recovery from a facelift takes many forms. Physical recovery. Social Recovery. Recovery of sensation. Because it is your face, the interruption in social activities is often the hardest part of the recovery.
Most patients have only mild pain after a facelift and it is usually gone in one or two days. I give only Tylenol #3 since stronger medications are not needed.
I allow patients to drive after 4 days if they are off pain meds. Before this, some mild neck stiffness may make driving safely more difficult since you may not turn your head as far to look for cars.
Swelling and Bruising:
Recovery from a facelift involves bruising (usually down low along the neck) and swelling which increases some each day for the first 4 days after surgery. On the 5th day after surgery this begins to improve rapidly and usually by the 7th or 8th day after surgery makeup can be applied. Patients often tell me with a scarf and some sun glasses they can run quick errands. At this stage they would not necessarily want to run into a close friend if they are trying to be discrete.
Dinner With Friends:
For a patient to sit down to dinner with friends and not be asked any questions, I believe it takes about two weeks. Occasionally a very dark bruise may not be completely gone but can be effectively covered with makeup. About 80 % of the swelling is gone so the remainder is hard to detect. Sometimes a slight change is hairstyle can be used to help explain away any differences a close friend might notice.
I ask patients to wait on exercise and heavy lifting until 3 weeks after surgery. Otherwise I don't limit their activities
Mild facial numbness seems to always go away completely but takes about 9 months. Fortunately this does not bother most patients especially once they realize its temporary.
Web reference: http://www.sarasotaplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/facelift.cfm
You might also like...
Facelift recovery is 2 to 3 weeks
1. You're best served by allowing yourself a minimum of 2 weeks before being around other if you don't want them to notice something has been done. Even the most natural facelift shows a little residual swelling at two weeks. If you were your hair short or always back, give yourself 3 weeks. I'd advise against "squeezing in" a facelift.
2. Bruising can occur and typically lasts about 7 days and gradually moves down the neck from gravity. Taking Arnica Montana just before and after the surgery can help with this.
3. Noticeable swelling really only lasts about 10 days. After that there is still some subtle fullness. In a thinner-faced person this often looks quite nice and natural. The facelift will continue to mature there after and you'll be looking very much like yourself, but improved, going into that third week.
4. Numbness of the skin in front of the ear is expected. This will resolve over several weeks time. This is not a danger to you but it does surprise patients if they're not informed. Numbness of the ear can also happen, but resolves. with time.
5. Slight firmness in areas where the surgeon placed the supporting sutures under the skin will be palpable during the 2nd or 3rd week after surgery. This is usually not visible. It will continue to go down as the collagen matures in the new wound bed.
6. There is not much pain involved during recovery. Ice and tylenol is usually plenty for mild discomfort.
Best of luck. Hope this was helpful.
Chase Lay, MD
Going out after facelift
I usually tell my patients that if they are going to be in a "high profile" situation – such as a wedding – to allow themselves a full six weeks for healing prior to the event. Otherwise, my patients seem to feel comfortable with their appearance at about two weeks.
Face lift recovery
Recovery from a facelift can vary tremendously , but in general you can look socially acceptable after seven to ten days. You will not feel totally normal for six weeks. Back to work ( depending on what you do, i.e. no heavy lifting) is about two weeks.It's easier for a woman because they can wear make-up.
Wishing you the best,
Tal Raine MD FACS
Facelift recovery is not as bad as you think
- Two weeks for most of bruising to resolve and all sutures removed.
- One month of no heavy lifting and straining.
- Most of the swelling is gone in the first month, but residual swelling can take a few more months to settle. The less active one is after surgery, the faster the swelling seems to resolve.
- Patient's usually do not have pain, but more of a "tight" sensation that relaxes somewhat over the coming months.
Recovery after a facelift
Facelift downtime?
You should be able to return to normal life activity within 2-3 days. Returning back to work with makeup should be possible within a week. You should look pretty normal and not "freaky" within 7-8 days. Things you can do to minimize bruising...
Minimize alcohol for a week before and after surgery
Ask your surgeon for an Aqua-Cool -It is a mask that pumps 50 degree Farenheit water constantly to your face. It really works awesome.
PreOperative and post-operative vitamins... (Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Arnica, Bromelain, Folic Acid)
Facelift recovery takes 2 weeks after surgery
My first answer to this question is another question: what is your tolerance for being seen with some degree of bruising?
If you have anxiety about being seen in the early postoperative phase, my answer is 2 weeks. However, I have patients who work from home, and some who are less concerned about being seen in public. Generally, the latter group can be out and about in 4-5 days (best case scenario). This being said, some patients have a less smooth recovery due to anesthesia or other factors, and take longer.
During this period, you can carefully arrange your hair to conceal incisions and can usually apply makeup between 7-10 days after surgery. If you live in a colder climate, a turtle neck can conceal most of the bruising. In addition, Arnica Montana pills and/or cream can help decerase visible signs of brusing.

Ethical Considerations for Candidates and Their Supporters
What Price Victory?
The task of raising money for a political campaign can be so overwhelming that many qualified individuals don't run for office simply because they don't want to ask for money. Here are some ethical considerations to consider in fundraising for your campaign, or on someone else's behalf.
Campaign Communication
Communicating your ideas to the voters in an effective and honest way is key to an ethical campaign. It is equally important to accurately represent the views held by your opponent, if you choose to compare your platform or record. Consider these questions as you plan and execute the campaign.
The Conduct of the Campaign
The entire campaign team - candidate, consultant, supporters-must be responsible for the actions taken during an election. It's especially important to have a clear understanding of the ethical standards you expect and what actions you will take should a problem arise.

It is no secret that Wolves fans have been fathoming to acquire an athletic wing that can actually shoot the ball with proficiency. For those that regularly visit this section, you have probably seen many references regarding Anthony Morrow. Most seem to think that he would make a perfect fit for what this team needs.
According to Darren Wolfson (Channel 5 Eyewitness News and ESPN 1500 contributor) on Twitter, the Nets are holding onto Morrow.
"Told the #Twolves have inquired about A. Morrow, but as of now, the #Nets are telling teams they're keeping him. Am curious if that changes."
As Darren notes at the end of that tweet, I am anxious to see if the Wolves can sway the Nets to listen to an offer. I think things could change IF the Nets appear to be serious contenders for Dwight Howard and need to clear cap space. What does the community make of this?

News and notes from UCLA football as the Bruins continue to prepare for their bowl game.
The video above of Interim Coach Mike Johnson's comments after practice today is a must watch. Coach Johnson in an extremely classy and professional manner talked about his future at UCLA. He talked about his expectations of not returning next season. He can see the "writing on the wall" and the reality about not being part of the new staff. Regardless he is being professional about all of this. He is doing his job and getting our team ready for the Bowl game. Huge kudos to him in the way he is handling all this. GO BRUINS.

Having served in the Navy myself, I can say that no US Navy ship is leaving port without an engineering crew.
I wont argue with you on that point...but Scotty or Harriman both would have had better knowledge than Kirk would have at that point.
You're probably right about Harriman staying on his bridge. But Kirk wasn't the best option. If I had to choose between sending Harriman or Kirk, I would have sent Harriman because of his ship knowledge and left Kirk doing what he always had done best, in command of the ship for that moment.

MADISON (WKOW) -- The Madison community was invited to the Monona Terrace on Sunday for its re-opening celebration.
The facility has been working to update and improve the convention center for the past month. New electronic room signs, new carpeting, and environmentally-friendly light fixtures and plumbing are among the improvements that have been made. Gregg McManners, executive director of Monona Terrace, says the improvements were necessary to keep the facility up to date.
"We're in competition nationally, regionally and statewide, so we need to remain competitive," says McManners."We're seeing a lot of improvements and investments as far as these venues are concerned, so these are important to be competitive."
A new multimedia gallery that takes viewers through Frank Lloyd Wright's process of designing the Monona Terrace was also featured at the event.

Diabetes a growing threat to health in Dorset
2:56pm Wednesday 21st August 2013 in News By Nicky Findley
DIABETES is the fastest growing health threat in the UK and around 17,500 people in Dorset have been diagnosed with the disease.
But it is estimated that there are a further 11,000 local people who are unaware that they have diabetes.
And with the increasing prevalence of diabetes, estimated to reach five million in the UK by 2025, the problems of diabetic foot disease looks set to continue to rise.
Dr David Coppini, who leads the diabetic foot service at Poole, is keen to raise awareness of the condition and its associated complications.
He says: "We are seeing more patients who present with foot and other complications even before the diagnosis of diabetes is made, so it is important for people to think about diabetes at an earlier stage."
Dr Coppini explains that complications are caused by a combination of poor circulation and loss of sensation.
"The problem is they may lose sensation in their feet so if they walk on a pin or something, they don't notice, their blood circulation isn't good, so it gets infected and by the time they present it is infected and gangrenous. Although we have the best amputation rates in the south west – well below the national average, infections in the foot and bone are very hard to heal so it is a very tricky complication and the expenditure on treatment for foot disease, foot ulceration and amputation alone costs the NHS £600m."
Patient Robert Cox, 60, from Poole, said he wasn't aware of the complications when he was first diagnosed with the diabetes.
He is currently in Poole hospital having treatment for an ulcer on his foot, which according to his consultant Dr Coppini, was the size of an apple.
Mr Cox said: "I have had a lot of problems with my feet over the years. I just feel very lucky that we have this service available in Poole."

Public Drunkenness: At approximately 11:35 p.m. on February 6, Upper Dublin Police were dispatched to the Fireside Bar and Grille after staff reported that a patron, John Pistilli, 30, of the 200 block of Spring Garden Street, Ambler, smashed a pint glass in the parking lot, according to a police report. Police found Pistilli walking in front of Ambler Doughnuts and upon speaking with him, found him to be extremely intoxicated, the report says. It was determined that Pistilli had a BAC of .258 percent and he was issued a citation for Public Drunkenness.
Motor Vehicle Break-in: At approximately 7:24 a.m. on February 6, Upper Dublin police responded to St. Mary's Villa for the report of a vehicle break-in. There, the driver of a black 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe told police that an unknown person had pried his dashboard open, pushed in his AC unit, and stolen his CD/DVD player.
Theft: At approximately 5:13 p.m. on February 2, a resident of the 500 block of Bethlehem Pike, Ambler, called Upper Dublin Police to report that someone had stolen his wallet and spare change from his vehicle while it was parked in his driveway. According to the victim, the theft occurred on January 29, sometime between 10:00 and 11:15 p.m.
Fraudulent checks: At approximately 1:41 p.m. on February 7, the manager of a shoe store in Willow Grove told Upper Dublin Police that a black male had cashed two counterfeit checks the night before. According to the manager, the man, who was accompanied by a female, used two fraudulent $100 American Express Traveler's checks to pay for three pairs of shoes totaling $102.85, and also received $97.15 in change. Detectives investigate.

In today's world almost all of us use email daily in our personal and business lives. It allows for quick, convenient communication between friends and colleagues but may also pose a risk dependent upon the type of information in the email and the data being sent.
Sending information like login names and passwords in the same email can pose a risk as it is formatted in plain text which allows anyone to view it. Sending a PDF document or an Excel spreadsheet poses the same type of risk, as it can be easily forwarded. The bigger risk is one people don't often think about… Can the email be intercepted somewhere between the sender and the recipient?
Emails that are sent normally through Outlook or most web based email providers, are without any type of security signature or encryption software which makes it easier to intercept, read and possibly use the information contained in the email.
An easy way to protect yourself is to use a provider that encrypts all messages before sending them onto your recipient. Vendors like Zix Messaging encrypt emails as soon as they are sent and the emails are retained on a web portal for a number of days before they expire and are deleted. The recipient receives an email alerting them that a secure message is waiting for them. By clicking a link, the recipient logs in with their email address and can read and download any attachments they have received.
Another option is JumbleMe which provides a free service, which makes the email difficult to print, copy and forward. The free service is capped on the number of emails that can be sent per year, with pay options available.
Information security may seem daunting but the threats are prevalent. Before sending that next Excel spreadsheet or PDF document ask yourself if there's anything in it that you wouldn't want anyone besides the intended recipient using or reading. If the answer is yes, explore your options or connect with your IT staff or a trusted IT provider and discuss your security concerns.

Three Braves prospects have made Baseball America's mid-season top-50 prospects. Julio Teheran ranks as the number-4 prospect in all of baseball, behind Bryce "Baby Jesus" Harper, Mike Trout, and Matt Moore. Arodys Vizcaino ranks as the 16th-best prospect, and Randall Delgado clocks in at number-44.
That's a good showing from Braves prospects, and represents the next great wave of Braves pitching coming up through the minors. Luckily Braves fans have already gotten a taste of how good these kids can be after two starts in the Majors by Teheran, and one by Delgado.
Talking Chop will release its mid-season top-25 Braves prospects next week (likely Wednesday). So stay tuned for that awesome list!

THIBODAUX, La. (KNOE 8 News/AP) - Just four months after rejecting a shift in property taxes to help pay for a new jail, Lafourche Parish voters could be considering a tax measure for a different jail proposal.
Sheriff Craig Webre and a committee of sheriff's office staff members are preparing to propose a new tax for the construction and operation of a new jail.
Webre says the details of the tax are still being ironed out, but a final proposal should be ready in the next 30 days with hopes of getting it on the May 3 ballot.
The Daily Comet reports the existing jail is in poor condition and suffers from chronic overcrowding.
A jail consultant has recommended the parish spend $25 million to replace it with a 540-bed facility.

355ml can poured into 400ml dab glass oct21 2009
A hazy reddish copper with a nice two finger head that lasts a few minutes and leaves lace where it existed
S some sweet malt and some faint caramel
T not much going on here sweet grains with some cream corn
M a little creamy but nothing worth bragging about, nothing to
be ashamed of either
D this beer is easy to drink and overall I didn't mind it and for a discount beer it's pretty good
for the 7.50$ a 6-pack it's well worth it, you could spend more money on much worse beer

355ml can. I saw lots of this in BC liquor stores this past summer - but not so much here, and a single is worth trying out a new (to me, at least) brewery's expression, eh?
This beer pours a crystal clear, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of weakly puffy, kind of soapy dirty white head, which leaves a decent random pattern of webbed lace around the glass in its wake.
It smells of fairly sweet biscuity caramel malt, a twinge of indistinct grocery store fruitiness, and a bit of floral, grassy hops. The taste is semi-sweet, ethereally pastry-tinted caramel malt, blended well enough, I must say, with a touch of orchard fruit, and very little else, save a slightly earthy, weedy hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite soft, and barely noticeable, the body a near-medium weight, and smooth in the very sense of the purported style, and dare I say, actually creamy. It finishes still rather sweet and oh so mildly bitter.
It seems that Canada has kind of adopted this style as its own - there seems to be an inordinate number of these beers floating around, most of which are middling mimicries at best. This particular offering, though, seems to rise above the masses, due in no small part to its stronger malt profile, and, well, silken mouthfeel. Heady baby steps, folks.

Was at the local LCB and decided to try a little variety with this one,Pours a bronze amber color with a full frothy thick bubbly off white 3 finger head which dissipates rather too quickly and left miniamal to no lacing.Nose was of corn and cream,lite malts and a tinge of sourness in the background.Taste was a tad of sweetness with some bland caramel and grains and than a sudden flatness and dry which had a metallic note in there also,this one just drops off quick and leaves you wondering what happened,for a good looking brew,flavor just isn't there,medium thin mouthfeel with a very dry and thin watery finish.Good thing i only bought a six pack.

This was curious to see from Bowen Island, the brewery that's brought us such ambivalent anomalies as Boss beer and their hemp cream ale in the past.
Pours out very dark for a cream ale (I suppose that's the "Irish" aspect of it?), a light transluscent chestnut hue. Quick foamy head that dissipates quickly.
Nondescript sweet malt on the nose, a bit of nuttiness, but nothing memorable.
Mildly toasted woody and sweet malt up front, yet bland at the same time. Watery and one-dimensional, however the aftertaste redeems it a bit, packing in one last whollap of flavour that nearly leads you to believe that you enjoyed this beer more than you actually did. In fact the majority of the flavour appears in the aftertaste.
Would make an okay camping beer, or a barbecue picnic beer out in the wilderness where cans would be more appropriate. In a situation like that where it's mostly easy-drinking non-challenging beers for most of the day, I'd rather be drinking something like this than most macro lagers. However that's not to say that I'll be reaching for another 6 of this stuff anytimne soon....

Dark copper-amber brown appearance with thick head that slowly settles down, leaving moderate lacing. Smell consists of grain, caramel and roasted malt. The smell is very faint though and hard to pick up.
Taste consists of roasted malt, bitter hops, grain with a hint of brown sugar and caramel. Like the smell, it is light and hard to pick up, clean taste though. Light bodied with high carbonation. Aftertaste is a bitter with a lingering caramel taste.
Overall, this isn't bad for its price. No strong features to it, but refreshing and inoffensive. Worth a try if you come across it.

Clear, golden amber, plenty of head, good retention, hint of lace.
Sweet grainy biscuity with a hint of fruity esters.
Bitterness barely breaks the flavour threshold, light grainy sweetness, hint of fruit.
Very light; overcarbonated.
I guess this is average for the style, nothing is off, there just isn't much flavour.

Was looking for beers I haven't seen before in the store today, and came across this gem!
Pours a clear amber/orange, big decently thick off white head forms, slowly settles leaving some lacing. Smell is bland, light malt, oats and bread, some citrus, touch of floral, nothing much going on. Taste is slightly better, sweet, caramel, really oaty, some grains, citrus, slight toastiness in the finish, a little burnt. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with medium carbonation. Not something I would buy again but was pretty cheap and decently drinkable.

Held off reviewing this for awhile until I could try it again and rethink it but I really just do not have anything good to say about it at all, either time.
Pours a decent looking deep orange colour not a ton of head but roughly what I would expect.
Aromas of caramel malt but also overcooked corn and I am not looking forward to drinking this at this point.
On the palate it is relatively hollow with little of the richer malt taste I was hoping might shine through instead I only get a hollow grainy vegetable flavour that leaves me well, not very happy.
Thin for an irish cream and a little over carbonated but for the price more or less on par with what I would expect.
I suppose the big thing with this beer is the price, for that it is OK I've had better but I've also had worse. I won't be going back but it could be worth a try just to say you've had it.

Beer Club has an Irish theme for March and I kinda cringed when I saw this as one of the offerings.
Pretty decent look for such a cheap beer. Burnt copper in color, clear with a rich, creamy head that should really decent lacing and retention. Looks a lot like Shaftebury's Coastal Cream Ale.
Malt certainly dominates the nasal passages. Some nice roasted malt aroma, nothing really rough or off-putting here.
Malt taste is quite up front, followed by a very slight hop bitterness. Roasted malt returns to coat the palate in the aftertaste. Kind of thin and watery in places, although there certainly isn't anything overly off tasting either.
Could be a bit creamier in the mouthfeel dept, but for a cheapie, it seems quite smooth.
Not bad. I found the more I drank it though, the more flat the flavor profile got. @ under $8.00/per 6 makes it decent enough, I guess.

this is a cream ale West Coast style ie. a dark amber beer. The irish red ale works with the malt forward flavour profile. I think this beer has improved since the last time I have had it. The nose is quite pleasant and the beer has a solid mouthfeel . Worth buying and certainly worth the money as this retails for about $8 a six

Not sure if this is the same as their Hemp Cream Ale...address is now a Vancouver address. No proper contact info on their website.
Pours out very dark for a cream ale -borders almost on an Irish Red or even a brown ale. Decent, sticky head. Good smell. Sweet malt, slight hop bitterness. Well balanced. Toffee and hazelnut smells.
The taste is malt dominant. Hop bitterness is present, but underwhelming. Far too one dimensional in the malts. Slighty nutty flavour. Not unpleasant, but tastes almost underdone and not well developed.
Decent carbonation. Goes down smooth as a cream ale should. Drinkable, good session ale.
If I can still find their Hemp Cream Ale, I'll try to compare the two.

Bowen Island Brewing is a solid local Vancouver-area brewery which I go to for two reasons - it's very cost effective, and still relatively delicious.
Some I like, some I do not, but the Irish Cream is one that I definitely do. It's crisp, clean, and refreshing when chilled (as it should be). If you're looking for something good to just relax with, with just a nice standard taste of...well...normal beer...then try it out.

Got this as part of their Craft Beer sampler pack. It was a 12-pack of cans which came to $1.60 per can. I confirmed with the brewery that it is a Cream Ale, but uses dark malts. It reminds me of Kilkenny and Caffrey's which in terms of feel (smoothness and carbonation).
This pours with a decent amount of light-beige head. The body is clear with a red-brown colour. The aroma is mostly that of vanilla nut. The taste is dominated by caramel and roasted malts. It feels creamy and smooth with very fine carbonation bubbles. Medium body, ultimately a little watery. Overall, I think it is decent. It hits all my expectations, but nothing that really stands out.

Maybe if my last name was "Dollar" too, I'd maybe have the cash to get into film production :)
Possibly inspired by the success that people like T.D. Jakes have enjoyed in recent years, I just learned that Creflo Dollar, founder of the World Changers Church International, has created a new film division within his growing empire, called CAD Productions, with plans to produce at least 3 faith-based films per year; the first one is already in pre-production.
It's called Breaking News, and it centers on a well-known pastor launched into the middle of a media scandal, after his daughter's lesbian friend falsely accuses him of infidelity.
That left me scratching my head; does he cheat with his daughter's lesbian friend? Why would her accusing him of infidelity matter (falsely or not), unless she had some material evidence to prove this, leading to the media scandal he finds himself at the center of? I got questions... anybody got answers?
The production is currently casting, and I'm told that "name talent only" is being sought for the lead roles.
Delano Massey is said to be the director; and if IMDB is correct, this will be his feature directorial debut.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin in November, in Atlanta, GA.
I gotta say folks, I think I'm in the wrong damn business.

Thank you

I've NEVER been comfortable with the fact that his name IS Creflo Dollar, just something ain't right about that, don't sit well in my spirit.
He's not making it any better by calling his company CAD Productions. What does CAD stand for, Creflo A. Dollar. Rigga Please!
With a title like that, how are you glorifying God??
What the heck kinda film description is that??
I'm vastly disappointed already.
It hurts me to see Christians trying to do Christian films and do piss poor work, and he seems to be on that track.
Ugh, whatever Imma just keep hope alive!
Besides if I get casted in the film, I'd be running to set for my check #dontjudgeme #gottapaybills

But both you and our praying Sister, Kia, need to stop!

Stop it Kia, it's all yawls fault. I mean, if that woman by the name of Eve, didn't invite that good holy man to sample her fruits, we wouldn't be in this mess. *Big Smile*.
Then, Creflo Dollar would only need Steve McQueen to make a movie on "The Bad Seed": The first steps to Homosexuality and The Freaky Deaky. LOL
Kia | September 21, 2011 11:28 AM
Dear Lord,
What I want for Christmas... More Steve McQueens!
How is this religious based... b/c it's about a pastor? The plot reads sex, scandal, homosexuality--oh yeah, I forgot... that IS religion in the 21st century--my bad.
CareyCarey | September 21, 2011 10:18 AM
@ MiddleMyatt, yeah crazy. Did you notice the book we were talking about in the Terry McMillian post? Well, that video was shot in my home and all those books were mine.
Come to think of it, did you notice that the "pastor" had on a black pin-stripe suit just like Creflo's (picture in this pos)t... and the same tie?
Yeah, CrazyCrazyCarey!

Come on MiddleMyatt, aren't you being a liitle strong... Pedophile in the Pulpit: The Bishop Eddie Long Story???
Now you know Creflo Dollar actually suggested that we support the man so why would he make a film project like that?
Besides, didn't you see Bishop Long's last interview... here --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-hDu7wqQk0
MiddleMyatt | September 21, 2011 7:36 AM
Big Dollar, you might recall, scolded former members of Eddie Long's church for attempting to join his after the accusation against Bishop's (actually, for accusations against him). "I don't want you," he said, "Go back and stick by and support that man of God. He simply had an 'accident,' but he's got (God's) insurance. Perhaps that should be his first film project: Pedophile in the Pulpit: The Bishop Eddie Long Story!
CareyCarey | September 21, 2011 7:27 AM
First, is the daughter a lesbian? We know one of her friends is a lesbian but what did the pastor do and with whom?
Now Tambay, I don't know if your in the wrong business... cuz pimping church folks ain't easy, but we all know a man who can't wait for this movie to hit, and propably knows the answers to our questions. That be Sergio. LOL
Amilcar | September 21, 2011 6:32 AM
she accused to get back at him for not approving of his daughter's lesbianism?????

Well consider this your pulpit Tambay! The plot doesn't sound all the appealing but I am interested in seeing more faith-based content in the marketplace.

The leader of China's largest state-owned conglomerate has called for a forum of regular dialogue between Japanese and Chinese industry executives to improve bilateral relations.
Chang Zhenming, chairman of CITIC Group investment company, made clear he thought that politics and business should be kept separate, especially at a time when bilateral relations are strained by a dispute over the Senkaku Islands.
"Cooperation between the business communities of the two nations is important," Chang said in a recent interview with The Asahi Shimbun. "Exchanges are necessary between Japanese and Chinese companies."
The 56-year-old Chang is among a delegation of 11 top executives from 10 major Chinese corporations visiting Tokyo. They arrived for a five-day visit on Sept. 24.
Asked about the impact of deteriorating relations on business activities, Chang said, "(The worsening of relationships) will inevitably affect both sides. But many Chinese companies believe that private-sector exchanges are important."
China already has bilateral exchanges between private companies in the United States, Europe, Australia and other countries. Chang said Japan and China should set up a similar framework.
Chang and other executives are expected to meet with Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, other senior government officials and former prime ministers during their stay. They will also hold talks with executives of Keizai Doyukai (Japan Association of Corporate Executives) as well as Mizuho Financial Group Inc., Nomura Securities Co., Toyota Motor Corp. and other Japanese companies.
The delegation includes Gao Xiqing, president of China Investment Corp., and Liang Wengen, chairman of major construction equipment manufacturer Sany Heavy Industry Co.
Chang's CITIC Group was founded in 1979 by the government to acquire overseas funds and technologies. China was moving toward economic reform and an open-door policy at the time.
According to sources, the Chinese mission was organized because many Japanese and Chinese industry executives said private-sector exchanges, including those in the enterprise sector, should be promoted separately from politics.
The Chinese government apparently gave its approval to the delegation with hopes that the mission will help improve bilateral economic relations.
Executives of Japanese companies also plan to visit China in the near future.
The Japan-China Economic Association, headed by Toyota Motor Corp. Chairman Fujio Cho, will send a mission comprising about 100 people in November. The organization is currently working to secure an appointment with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.
