LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Coupons - once reserved for the elderly and the frugal - are becoming more popular as tough economic times have everyone trying to save money wherever possible. For some it's a necessity, but for others it can be an addiction.
Shannon Kaiser says she started using coupons to save money. But then it became something more. "At first it was the money, but now it's definitely the feeling. When you can walk out of a store and save more than you spent, that's pretty cool."
With six mouths to feed, the Kaiser family enjoys the savings during these tough economic times but Shannon found there was a little more to her Sunday morning ritual. "It's a game, absolutely. A game. And I am completely addicted."
Another player in the coupon clipping game: Rhonda Dockery. "This week I saved $117," she said, clearly pleased.
Rhonda is a member of thegrocerygame.com, and she also shops with a coupon binder she created.
And Rhonda never lets a coupon slip by. "Kroger will print off this little coupon for you. I am embarrassed to say I have walked through carts in the parking lots and picked up their coupons from Kroger. It's an obsession. If you leave these in your cart, I'm gonna find them."
2009 marked the 100th anniversary of the coupon. It was started in 1909 by C.W. Post. to boost the sale of his cereal. Now coupons are available in the newspaper, online, from in-store dispensers - and don't forget those loyalty cards.
With proper planning - using coupons on items that are already on sale, for example - you can save big bucks before ong. But it's easy to see that you can also get a rush.
Dr. Chris Stewart explains. "You're talking about experiencing pleasure, and so when someone finds something pleasurable they get a rush in the brain."
Shannon agrees. "When you get a big score - it's like, 'yeah, this is cool! I'm gonna do it again.' Then you can't wait for Sunday to get your paper and you can do it all over."
Dr. Stewart says that's normal behavior for any reaction to pleasure - even the pleasure gained by saving big money with coupons.
Dr. Chris Stewart, a UofL psychiatrist who specializes in addiction, says becoming addicted to coupons is normal and fortunately, it's helpful rather than harmful.
"After someone has already experienced a rush after being successful and getting a coupon and saving money, they are going to anticipate that feeling again and try to recreate it. That's only normal. Actually, that's part of your brains normal survival mechanism."
The euphoric feelings are real, and so are the savings - as Rhonda can attest. "The receipts don't lie."

An investigation is underway into the darting of some Canada Geese on the South Plains. Investigators say it's a criminal act, and could carry thousands of dollars in fines plus jail time.
Several injured geese have recently been spotted in South Lubbock at Leftwitch Park. Reports came in about two weeks ago of some Canada Geese with darts in their head or neck at Leftwitch Park. But just two days ago, some park goers tell us they saw one those of darted geese.
They're typically seen paddling through our playa lakes, but the grace of some Canada Geese at Leftwitch Park has been disturbed.
"The report that came to us was there was six Canadian Geese shot with what they believe were blow darts and had darts sticking in them," says Lindi Butler, Operations Manager of South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
Butler says she's only seen two with darts in their neck or head and despite the seemingly painful darts, these geese still soar the skies.
"We tried catching them that one time. They're healthy enough they wouldn't let us get a hold of them," says Quentin Terrel, Game Warden, Texas Parks and Wildlife.
It's hard to tell where the geese where actually harmed, whether it be at this park or in the fields they flew in from. No matter the location, authorities say it's a punishable offense. Terrel says it's a Class C misdemeanor with up to $500 fine.
"These birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Act. That's one of the reasons there is an investigation, but just cruelty to animals in general," says Butler.
A special agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service tells NewsChannel 11 it's a federal offense to harm these birds under the Migratory Bird Act, and carries a fine of up to $15,000 and up to 6 months in prison.
Butler says it's also about the health of these mystic birds decorating our playa lakes.
"If he's got an opened wound where those blow darts are, you're looking at infections things like that, that can happen to him. Which is more of a slow and painful death," adds Butler.
At this point, Game Warden Terrel tells us the case is at a standstill until new information comes forth.
If you know anything about this case you're asked to call Texas Parks and Wildlife at 761-4937.

The Gee Spot 08.04.2011
My last tune of the day is The One by Kylie Minogue. This is the one track that will always make me smile, get me up dancing and singing out loud – no matter where I am. It is one of the greatest dance tracks ever made and in my top 5 songs of all time. Kylie, I do love you!
Today is my last day at the office and my very last Gee Spot… but all is not lost; stepping into my blogging shoes is David who will be continuing my blog spot under a different name.
David is a sexy, young guy who is a lot of fun (and a total slut), so I am very happy that he will be taking over from me and am sure you will love hearing about his escapades.
Back to my favourite things, (how many Sound of Music references can I use?!?) here's a list of the best of the best.
Porn star: Pedro Andreas
Porn movie: Love Addiction, Kristen Bjorn
Studio: Hot House
Sex toy: Naughty Boy Prostate Massager, Prowler

Oh and if you're wondering why there's a Disney castle next to the picture of me (above), it's because my biggest obsession is Disney… well, my life isn't ruled by sex you know. You gotta have a healthy balance of everything is your life – and to never want to grow up.
The name The Gee Spot wasn't actually dreamed up by me but was actually the brainchild of my close friend and colleague Faye. Every week, she has also been my sub editor (strange job for a hot lesbian to do… but still) and so I wanted to say a massive thank you to her for being so amazing. Gonna miss you babe!
Over the past ten months, just under 20,000 people have read my blog and been updated with my weekly stories of smut, sleaze and sex – as well as getting my favourite film reviews, fetish gear and erotic paraphernalia.
I hope you have enjoyed reading as much as I've enjoyed writing and that you've enjoyed the journey across the whole spectrum of gay life as seen through my eyes. Whatever you get up to; live your life to the full and enjoy every minute. Being gay is amazing!
This is Terry Gee signing off… thanks guys.

The Kingsbury Run Murders or Cleveland Torso Murders
A Profile Emerges
Even though Eliot Ness did not have available to him the body of knowledge that today's law enforcement agencies have about serial killers, he knew that this murderer was no ordinary one. It was time to bring together a group of experts to share information so he invited Coroner Pearse and Dr. Reuben Strauss, the pathologist who had performed many of the autopsies of the victims, County Prosecutor Cullitan, Police Chief Matowitz, Lieutenant Cowles, Inspector Joseph Sweeney, Sergeant Hogan and several outside medical consultants.
After a number of hours, the group agreed on what they knew about this killer:
One man working alone murdered all six victims. The Lady of the Lake, who was most likely an earlier victim of the same serial killer, was not included in official count because the murder happened in 1934, a full year before the death of Andrassy.
This killer, while clearly psychopathic, was probably not obviously insane. There was disagreement as to whether to killer was a male homosexual, considering the genital mutilation of the corpses. Some of the non-genital mutilation may have been done to thwart identification or make it easier to transport the body. Other mutilations seemed to have no clear purpose.
While they all agreed that the killer had some knowledge of anatomy, the medical experts felt there was no evidence to establish that the murderer was necessarily a physician. After all, a butcher or hunter would recognize anatomical landmarks almost as well as a surgeon.
The murderer was both large and strong. The experts had pretty well discounted that any female could be a suspect in this murder series. The nature of the wounds, plus the fact that at least three of the male victims were carried a considerable distance, argued for a very large man.
The murderer was very likely to be a resident of the Kingsbury Run area. With the exception of the fifth victim who was found on the West Side, all of the victims were found in Kingsbury Run or the Near East Side.
Considering how untidy it is to decapitate a living person with the jugular vein spurting blood in all directions, the experts agreed that the killer had some kind of private place where the victims were dispatched and later cleaned up. Theories ranged from a butcher shop, a doctor's office or even a home where unsuspecting victims were lured by the promise of food or shelter.
The killer selected his victims from the lowest rungs of society. Whether that selection fulfilled some need to eliminate the "undesirables" of the city or just that there were so many from that social stratum in ready supply was not determined.
Most of the experts believed that it was no accident that of the six victims, only two were identified and those were among the earlier ones, Andrassy and Polillo. To the veteran homicide officials, it indicated that the murderer was getting smarter. Heads and hands were either gone or too decomposed for identification purposes. Even when highly distinguishing marks appeared on the body, such as the "Tattooed Man," nobody came forward to claim these victims as missing persons. The evidence was building that the more recent victims were being selected for anonymity.
Another unique characteristic of these crimes was the choice of Kingsbury Run as the graveyard. Four out of six victims were found in that godforsaken ravine. The "Tattooed Man," was placed embarrassingly close to the Nickel Plate Railroad police office as though the killer was playing a joke on them. Then, in September of 1936, when every hobo and railroad detective was in a state of heightened alarm, the killer again selected the Run for his next victim. The killer seemed to be taking unbelievable risks to humiliate the police.

We recently caught Fair to Midland at the Chevelle concert , and what an amazing surprise. We were completely not expecting an opening band to be as good or better than the main event. From the moment Darroh began singing, I could feel the tingle in my spine from truly great music.
The very next day we purchased this CD "Fables from a Mayfly…" and have been listening to nothing else for 4 days. Tracks 1, 2, 5, 6, 9 and 10 are amazing and much more metal influenced. "Tall Tales Taste Like Sour Grapes" track 9 is, in my opinion, probably the best track, followed closely by "Dance of the Manatees" which I love because of the changes Darroh makes with his voice. This man has amazing range and was even better live.
Experts talk about FTM as prog rock (neo-prog-hardcore, more accurately) with influences like U2, Deftones and most obviously System of a Down. This band revitalizes the repetitively melodious prog-rock sound by adding in the occasional thumping and visceral nu-metal riffs along with some guttural rapping (like at the end of Dance w/Manatees). This band is probably one of the most talented I have heard or seen in a long while. Apparently they hail from experimental rock roots and have been compared to Mars Volta, but I personally like the more mainstream sound with a lot of cross-over.
I do have to comment that this CD is nothing compared with seeing this band live. Live they were raw and much more metal. The guitars were turned way up and you could feel the pounding. Darroh was amazing with his voice and clearly payed close attention to his sound even though he jumped around spasmodically.
Interestingly, "Fables from a Mayfly…" is a concept album, that you only really understand when you look at the album art and read their full-length lyrics (available on some websites). Several have commented on the meaning, but they to me, clearly call out the issues that America faces today. For example, Track 5 "April Fools and Eggmen" must be referring to the media.
This CD is definitely something to add to your collection, and promises to be one that you will listen to again and again. We'll be hearing a lot more about Fair to Midland.

A nice step up from the 450i
Last year I had bought the 450i and was very pleased with the sound quality for the price. This year I decided to give the 600i a Last year I had bought the 450i and was very pleased with the sound quality for the price. This year I decided to give the 600i a go seeing as how they use a new driver but also a much better cable than the 450i.
The 600i feels very solid yet lightweight. The aluminum remote and right angle connector gives the unit a nice sophisticated look and the cable feels quite durable and not tangle prone like the 450i was. This new cable allows the buds to be worn over the ear or straight in very easily and can be easily managed. The remote is well built and nothing feels loose during use.
The sound quality is very nice, especially those who like to have their music sound lively and with plenty of bass kick without sacrificing much in the mids and treble. Out of the box it can sound a bit heavy handed in the bass department and a bit muffled top end but breaking them in helped solve that issue. Audio purists will have to look elsewhere as these are far from neutral. …

The Sound Of The '80s...At 21st Century Prices
The build quality seemed excellent, so I was hoping the sound quality would be similarly excellent.
There's a goodly The build quality seemed excellent, so I was hoping the sound quality would be similarly excellent.
There's a goodly amount of bass - although not enough deep bass - and plenty of extreme, shrill midrange. Unfortunately there's insufficient treble extension. The end result is a really unpleasant listen, that makes everything sound like a late '80s Bananarama record, all slappy drums with no low end and an ear-splitting midrange. In spite of the hot high-end the treble seems curiously muted, which is a losing combination - shrill yet muffled.
I would have returned them but managed to somehow lose them for a couple of months. When I finally found them again it was too late.
Crazily enough, based on strong reviews I purchased RHA's better-reviewed MA750i earbuds to replace them, and was pleasantly surprised to discover they have none of the 600i's shortcomings. They offer strong, deep bass performance, a balanced midrange and reasonable treble extension, although at fairly reduced levels. Still, they're an extremely pleasant listen and might be the best earbuds you can buy in this price class. I've had them for months and they've held up well so far, fingers crossed. …

Great value, sound and build quality
These are some great earphones! First I had some B&W C5's which I absolutely loved however, the build quality on them is questiona These are some great earphones! First I had some B&W C5's which I absolutely loved however, the build quality on them is questionable and after a while the in-line remote didn't function properly. The volume buttons worked intermittently but the pay/pause button worked as it should have.
This prompted me to explore other manufactures and stumbled upon RHA which I'm glad that I did. I bought this ma600i model first because of the simplicity even thought I favor the higher specs of the ma750i. I used the ma600i for a week and they sound awesome however, the break-in period is CRUCIAL for these because symbolance is a huge problem with them without break in properly. (what I'm referring to as symbolance is where the higher frequencies distort and somewhat sounds like someone hit a cymbal and just let it ring without dampening the sound in any kind of way).
Curiosity got the best of me so I returned them to try out the ma750i's and I will honestly say that I like the 600i's better because the fit is a lot better for me since I have smaller ears and the loop that is built in with the 750i is just too big to fit snug around my ear. Secondly the 750i driver size is too big for my ear as well which leads to the stainless steel metal sitting directly on my ear surround which is not very comfortable. Also with the all of the ear tips that the 750i comes with the only ones that work for me are the tips installed from the manufacture. The foam ones with the 750i are too big and are uncomfortable and I enjoyed the double flange from the 600i packaging better but not over the standard medium ear tips.
The ma600i has a better bass response in my opinion than the 750i but the 750i has a better all around slightly cleaner sound right out of the box so once the break in is complete I believe the 750i will sound a bit better. However, the 600i sounds TEN TIMES BETTER once they are broken in completely and I can't stress that enough!!! At this point I'm going to return the ma750i's and repurchase the ma600i because I love the look of the cable, the 90 degree bend on the jack, and the simplistic design of the driver which again is a much better fit for someone like me with smaller ears and ear canals.
Oh and if your a biggie on portability I love the size and feel of the 600i carrying case because it can fit in a pocket and doesn't have a large footprint at all plus the case is somewhat hard. The 750i has a much larger case and frankly I can't stand using the case after my experience with the 600i previously.
Hope this review helps anyone who was in my same situation but I really can say that either model is completely worth the money especially when you consider how much I spent on the B&W's in the first place. I will admit that the B&W C5 sound is more full and has more depth across all frequencies than the RHA's but for the price difference there is no comparison. Can't go wrong with the 3 year warranty either for the RHA. …

Jason Skinrood earned more than 100,000 points and miles by paying for a Utah house he built, from construction materials to labor, using his Visa and American Express cards. Then Skinrood, who runs the credit card comparison website PlasticRewards.com, and his wife and two kids took a trip to Arizona using miles for flights and points for their Westin hotel, saving them $1,500.
Tim Leffel, author of "Make Your Travel Dollars Worth a Fortune," flew roundtrip to Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and South America last year using miles acquired through his credit cards. His flights would have cost $5,500. Instead, with creative spending, sign-up bonuses for his two American Airlines credit cards, and some online research, it cost Leffel 65,000 miles and $170 in taxes.

Holiday Discipline
Parents scramble to find just the right gift for their children each holiday season. Certain toys are in great demand, and some parents will stand in line so their child will not be disappointed Christmas morning. However, there is one gift we can give our kids that will outlast the toys and the excitement of Christmas. It is a gift our kids will treasure and use their entire lives: responsibility. Here are some practical and proven tips to help your child build a sense of responsibility that will guide his or her life.
Send Positive Messages
Become aware of the number of times you state something negatively that could be stated positively. Also, promise with the positive by using contingencies, rather than consequences – which are usually interpreted as punishments. Saying the following sentence means spelling out a positive contingency: "As soon as you finish your work, you can go." This is more effective than saying the same message in a negative way: "If your work is not done, you're not going."
Offer Choices
Choice empowers. The choices can be limited, but the sooner a young person starts to make choices, the more responsible he or she will become. If a youngster will not do chores or fulfill responsibilities, increase the number of options so the child has more choices. Choice gives ownership, a critical component for changing behavior.
In relationships, not losing is more important than winning. As long as a person has a choice, the person does not lose. Your child has a desire for power, for control. Offer reasonable choices.
Choices are both conscious and unconscious (or habitual). A person always has the possibility to choose a response – be it to a situation, a stimulus or an urge. Teach "choice-response" thinking. Don't accept victim-type thinking, which is counterproductive to fostering responsibility. Examples of victim-type thinking are "He made me do it," "I couldn't control myself" and "I had no other choice." Explore options.
Encourage Reflection
Reflection fosters growth and responsibility. Ask evaluative questions – those which lead to reflection. Here is a series of four such questions, which can lead to a change in behavior:
- What do you want?
- Is what you are choosing to do helping you get what you want?
- If what you are choosing to do is not getting you what you want, then what is your plan?
- What are your procedures to implement your plan – specifically, what will you do? What else?
Be cautious of "why?" questions; they allow the person to give an excuse, be a victim and avoid responsibility. Besides, young people often do not know or find it difficult to articulate why they do what they do.
Limit your "telling." This requires constant attention. Although your telling may be to help, it is received as criticism. Telling sends a negative message – especially to adolescents – that what the youngster is doing is not good enough.
Consider this: When you tell, who does the thinking? When you ask, who does the thinking?
Seek to understand. Listen to your child – without inserting your opinion. Be curious instead of judgmental. Cultivating the habit of listening to understand can transform relationships. Avoid listening in anticipation of what you think your child will say. This poor listening habit will tempt you to interrupt. Listen to learn. Your child wants to be acknowledged. A parent who listens well acknowledges. Besides, your listening can be a model for adolescents who do not listen well. "Zip the lip" is extremely difficult for a parent, but it is the surest way to improve communications.
Acknowledge Good Deeds
Express your needs. Give your child the opportunity to help you. Children grow by giving. "I need you to help me with this." "I need quiet time." "I need assistance with dinner."
Use acknowledgments more than praise. Acknowledgment/recognition/validation simply affirm. "I see you made your bed," fosters reflection and feelings of self-competence, which leads to more growth. In contrast, saying, "I'm so proud of you for making your bed," encourages decision-making to please you. Developing responsibility, rather than pleasing you, is better for your child.
Rewards do not motivate young people to be responsible; they merely change motivation from thinking of the act to thinking of the bribe. Let your child know that you expect responsible behavior. Society does not give rewards for expected standards of behavior. Besides, rewards fail the critical test: "What will I get if no one is there to see me?"
By offering choices, you can use authority and be tough without being punitive. Instill the mindset that your objective is to raise responsibility, not to punish. However, if a consequence is necessary, elicit it from the youngster rather than impose it. In this way, the youngster owns the consequence.
Having dreams come true on Christmas morning is wonderful, but giving kids the gift of responsibility will help them achieve their dreams in the long term. Small efforts go a long way to creating an internal guidance system to help children build their own sense of responsibility and, therefore, their own destinies.

Usually, #11 seeds aren't "favorites" in Las Vegas over #6 seeds, but the Minnesota/UCLA match-up on Friday night was not a "usual" circumstance. Minnesota entered the game as the favorite over UCLA, as the Bruins were considered to be vastly over-seeded in the absence of Jordan Adams, and the Gophers showed the country why they garnered so much respect.
Minnesota shot 50% from the field on the night, won the rebounding battle (36-32), and converted an impressive 9-of-15 shots from three-point distance to cruise to a 20-point victory. In addition to their offensive prowess on Friday night, Tubby Smith's Golden Gophers held a solid offensive team in UCLA to just 32% shooting from the field, and caused more turnovers (13) than they allowed assists (1o).
[RELATED: Download the 2013 NCAA Tournament bracket here]
Sophomore guard Andre Hollins had his 2nd-highest scoring output of the season for Minnesota, scoring 28 points to lead all scorers (including 5-of-9 from three), to go along with 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Hollins was fantastic throughout the night, and his productivity helped to mitigate a relatively low-scoring night from the Gophers' best player, Trevor Mbakwe (9 points, 12 rebounds).
UCLA's Shabazz Muhammed, who garnered big-time national attention today when it was revealed by his father that he was a full year older than previously thought, finished with 20 points in his (likely) final game at UCLA. However, Muhammed had a very rough shooting night (6-18), and this capped a roller-coaster year for the prep school stud. The Bruins' shooting deserted them on this night, as each of their four leading scorers shot woeful percentages, as Norman Powell (3-12), Kyle Anderson (2-11), and Larry Drew II (1-6) went ice-cold alongside Muhammed.
For a coach on the "hot seat", Tubby Smith had his team ready to play in a big way on this night, and they responded with a decisive victory over a quality opponent. The Gophers will square off with #3-seed Florida on Sunday, and while they will be a significant underdog, they have a legitimate chance to win if they can replicate this type of offensive explosion.

Infinite Patience
Infinite patience produces immediate results.
What does that mean?
What it is, is this: imagine you know you are going to get a particular result,e.g. you're going to pass a certain exam. If you know that in advance and you have the patience to realize that you have the ability to pass, and will pass the exam, which is in nine months' time, you can be calm and peaceful. You don't have to fret about it. But if you don't have that patience, you're going to worry about it, you're going to get upset and you're not going to enjoy the next nine months.By having the Infinite Patience you can relax , IMMEDIATELY!
My personal example is this: My son was probably about six years old and I thought he wasn't making enough progress. As a high achieving Indian with all our family members being doctors, dentists, professionals etc, I thought I'd better make him step up so I hired a tutor for him.
I arranged some extra coaching and that went on for a number of years until one day I realized what I was doing. I was making him wrong. I wasn't letting him grow at his own pace. I was trying to fix him and it wasn't serving me because I was tense, I was always concerned about him and then so one day I said, "That's it. I'm not going to do that anymore." It gave me the most tremendous relief and it allowed my son to grow. And he has blossomed.
He's an incredible human being. He's got courage, energy, vitality, confidence. He's got everything that I have ever wanted from him plus much more.
Imagine how much pain I would have saved if I had Infinite Patience at the age of six to say, "I trust him. Everything is going to be fine."
It would have saved me a lot of pain. It would have saved him a lot of pain.
So Infinite Patience produces immediate results.
That one sentence can dramatically change the quality of your life.
Infinite patience produces immediate results.

Wait and Hear: Letting Ear Infections Clear without Antibiotics
ABC News - Healthology (Internet / TV) June 6, 2005
Ear infections are a common complaint of young children, and most have had at least one by the time they are three years old. Parents generally act quickly on ear pain, taking their child to the pediatrician for an antibiotic prescription. However, new research suggests that forgoing the antibiotic and simply monitoring your child's condition may be a useful strategy. The latest evidence comes from study published today in Pediatrics, which showed that about two-thirds of childhood ear infections resolved without the use of antibiotics. Since 60 percent of all antibiotics are prescribed for U.S. children with ear infections, "watchful waiting" may prevent the overuse of antibiotics and the subsequent rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, said David McCormick, MD, professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas and lead author of the study.

Then we wonder why our lives seem to be full of such drama. There may be aspects of your current situation that you have no power to change.

From the U.S. Department of Labor news release:
The unemployment rate rose from 9.8 to 10.2 percent in October, and nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline (-190,000), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The largest job losses over the month were in construction, manufacturing, and retail trade.
The breakdown by household:
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (10.7 percent) and whites (9.5 percent) rose in October. The jobless rates for adult
women (8.1 percent), teenagers (27.6 percent), blacks (15.7 percent), and Hispanics (13.1 percent) were little changed over the month. The unemployment rate for Asians was 7.5 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks and over) was little changed over the month at 5.6 million. In October, 35.6 percent of unemployed persons were jobless for 27 weeks or more. (See table A-9.)
The civilian labor force participation rate was little changed over the month at 65.1 percent. The employment-population ratio continued to decline in October, falling to 58.5 percent. (See table A-1.)
The number of persons working part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) was little changed in October at 9.3 million. These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job. (See table A-5.)
About 2.4 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force in October, reflecting an increase of 736,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. (See table A-13.)
Among the marginally attached, there were 808,000 discouraged workers in October,
up from 484,000 a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The other 1.6 million persons marginally attached to the labor force in October had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities.

He Likes It Raw: Elvis (The King)
When my 5 year old cousin was reading the We Like It Raw profile of reader Elvis, she said, "Elvis ate raw food too!?" I was just about to explain to her that it wasn't "The King - Elvis", it was another friend who's name was Elvis.... but then I remembered this story I heard at a David Wolfe lecture about 4 years ago:
Excerpt from If I Can Dream: Elvis' Own Story by Larry Geller
One day in 1973, he [Elvis] asked, "What do you eat?"
As if he didn't know. My "bizarre" eating habits--I was a vegetarian then--were the subject of countless Memphis Mafia wisecracks.
"Well," I said, "I eat as much raw food as I can, raw fruits and vegetables, and I don't eat meat."
After I had explained my approach to nutrition, he nodded. Later that night, as we were all sitting down to dinner at the Holmby Hills house in Los Angeles, he said,
"So that you all know what's happening around here, I'm changing my diet. Because the spiritual teachings say that you have to eat right, I'll be eating a lot of vegetables now, a lot of salads, and raw fruits. I'm telling the maids, and that's what they're going to make for me."
Out went the brownies, the ice cream, the chicken-fried steak, the burgers. Elvis ate only fresh, nutritious, healthy foods--for two days. Then it was back to the same old nonsense.
Yup, Elvis ate raw food too! Even though it was for only two days. Hmm... that would probably make him part of Group B.

Kinda like For Today. Just really generic metalcore with some flashes of something here and there.
Not too much like For Today. Because For Today is chibi-Dead Man In Reno, and these guys sound nothing like Dead Man In Reno.
Think classic Southern Metalcore, in the sense of stuff like Prayer For Cleansing, Rifles At Recess, and With Faith Or Flames, lots of harmonies, lots of shred, lots of breakdowns.

Price: $18.95
Abenaki Joseph Bruchac and Navajo Shonto Begay combine their talents to tell the tragic story of how, in the 1860s, U.S. soldiers forced thousands of Navajos to march to a desolate reservation 400 miles from their homeland in an effort to ''civilize'' them. Hundreds died along the way; those who survived found unspeakable living conditions at their destination. When word of the Indians's plight finally gained public attention, President Andrew Johnson sent a Peace Commission to investigate. The resulting treaty allowed the Navajos to return to their homeland, and ho'zhoharmonywas restored. The Navajos prospered and have lived in peace with the U.S. government ever since while preserving their own proud culture.

The Bennett's Chop & Railhouse Stars of the Game:
- Jarome Iginla (1G for 500 in his career, GWG)
- Mikka Kipursoff (25 saves on 26 shots, robbed some glorious chances early and late)
- Dany Heatley (1G, 4 shots, top line was the only line with constant pressure)
Five Questions:
- Can the Wild start the second half of the season on a winning note? Negative, Ghostrider.
- Will Jarome Iginla score his 500th NHL goal? Of course. He played Minnesota.
Greg Zanon and Clayton Stoner are back in the lineup tonight. Will we see a difference? Not really.
Niklas Backstrom is 5-0 with a 0.52 GAA and .984 save % in his last five starts in Calgary. Can he keep up that level of success tonight? No, but it's hard to blame him for the goals.
- Will the Flames come out on a mission after losing 9-0 to Boston in their last game? Well, if the game was only the 3rd period, then yes. Wild had their chances early that they didn't cash in on.

After some time she decided that if they could reach for the stars then she could too. After she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology at California State University, Fresno in 1997 (magna cum laude), she moved onto the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine and then Stanford for her residency.

Luke Mancebo is only in second grade, but the Chatom Elementary student has already starred in his very own cooking video.
Three local students were recognized at the Merced County Speech Festival awards ceremony held Feb. 29.

How could you make a difference at home or school with regards to nutrition?"
Julien Elementary sixth grader Megan Vanhoogmoed and Denair Middle School sixth grader Matthew Heffe will be among a group of about 25 exceptional young people who will represent the region as ambassadors during a two-week visit to England and France this summer.

At their first scheduled meeting of the school year, the Turlock Unified School District Board of Trustees established new policies and policy changes to increase overall student success, one of which will push back exclusionary discipline practices, such as suspension, in favor of positive interventions to correct misbehaving students.

Are Atheists Anti-Christian?:
Although this is by no means true of all atheists or atheism itself, there is some validity behind the perception that atheists are anti-Christian and it should be taken seriously. There is no ignoring the fact that many atheist web sites and atheist books spend a great deal of time with the doctrines and beliefs which are specific to Christianity or, at the very least, to traditional forms of Western monotheism while at the same time ignoring other religions and more general theistic beliefs. Why is that? Atheists Aren't Necessarily Anti-Christian
Are Atheists Bigoted Against Christians?:
This is similar to the claim that atheists are anti-Christian because of the time they spend on critiquing Christianity; it is, however, a more general assertion and merits being addressed separately. Is it a legitimate complaint that atheists are bigoted when it comes to Christianity? That is to say, are atheists intolerant of Christianity, Christian beliefs, Christian institutions, etc.? Even if this is true, what impact if any does this have on atheism and atheists' critiques of Christianity? Atheists Aren't Necessarily Bigoted
Militant Atheists Try to Marginalize Christianity, Christians:
Atheists are not only a small minority with little power or influence, but they are also the most despised and distrusted minority in America. This makes them unlikely oppressors of Christians, a majority standing behind the levers of power in society, but this is what many Christians believe. They insist that there is a cabal of godless atheist secularists trying to marginalize Christians and Christianity. These feelings of alienation are genuine, but their target for blame is inaccurate. Militant Atheists Marginalize Christianity
Militant Atheists Demonize Christians as anti-Science, anti-Intellectual:
Atheists today are no less vocal or sharp in their criticisms of theism and religion than they were last year or ten years ago; however, there have been a few very high-profiles books and criticisms which appear to have set some religious theists on edge. They are not accustomed to such pointed, direct attempts to refute or undermine their beliefs and feel they are being demonized by irreligious atheists. Disagreeing with someone and saying they are wrong is not demonization, however. Militant Atheists Demonize Christians
Are Atheists Anti-Theistic or Anti-God?:
Atheism and anti-theism so often occur together at the same time and in the same person that it's understandable if many people fail to realize that they aren't the same. Making note of the difference is important, however, because not every atheist is anti-theistic and even those who are, aren't anti-theistic all the time. Atheism is simply the absence of belief in gods; anti-theism is a conscious and deliberate opposition to theistic belief. Many atheists are also anti-theists, but not all. Atheists Aren't Necessarily Anti-Theistic
Are Atheists Anti-Religion?:
Atheists are often seen critiquing religion, so the perception can develop that atheism itself must be an anti-religious position but this is not true. Atheism is simply the absence of beliefs in gods and is a position which can occur inside or outside the context of religion. Thus, an atheist might be devoutly religious, devoutly anti-religious, or completely apathetic with regards to religion exactly as is the case with theists. It all depends on the individual and what ideas, beliefs, or principles they have aside from atheism. Some Atheists are Anti-Religion
Atheists Want to Impose their Secular Religion on America:
There is a popular belief with America's Christian Right that secularism is an atheistic conspiracy and an attempt by atheists to impose a secular religion on America. This would undermine Christians' religious liberty and force them to conform to atheists' secular, possibly communist, vision for America. None of this is even remotely correct: most atheists are not religious, secularism by definition cannot be a religion, atheists are not trying to undermine religious liberty, and secularism protects all Americans' religious liberty including Christians' liberty. Atheists Aren't Imposing a Religion on America
Is Being Public, Unapologetic About Atheism Really Anti-Theism?:
If it weren't bad enough that atheists exist, some atheists actually dare to admit to being atheists in public. Many atheists seem to remain cowed and afraid enough to keep their atheism quiet, but growing numbers are unapologetic about not believing in any gods and will actually say so to others. This appears to bother some religious theists even to the point where they will accuse atheists of actually being anti-theists simply for their openness and honesty about disbelief in gods. Public Atheism is Not Anti-Theism
Should Atheists Eliminate All Religious Influences From their Lives?:
For most atheists, simply not being religious and not participating in any overly religious rituals or activities is sufficient. For some atheists, though, there is the feeling that any connection with religion may be hypocritical and may only be serving to reinforce the assumption that religion is acceptable. They argue that it would be better to strip all religious aspects from their lives, otherwise, they can't claim to be leading truly irreligious, rational, and naturalistic lives.

1993-94 Denver Nuggets featured in NBA 2K12's "NBA's Greatest" mode
Enter NBA's Greatest. Built off the success of The Jordan Challenge from 2K11, NBA's Greatest pays tribute to 15 of the most influential and game-defining players the NBA has ever seen. Painstakingly re-created, the players, teams, and, even the presentation elements were built with no detail left behind. Hakeem Olajuwon With impeccable footwork on the low block and a silky-smooth jump shot, Olajuwon became one of the greatest centers ever to play the game. He was the epitome of power and grace on the court. Hakeem displayed a vast array of fakes and spin moves, highlighted by his signature "Dream Shake", which you'll be able to perform in NBA 2K12. His matchup pits him against another defensive great from his era, Dikembe Mutombo and the 1993-94 Nuggets. You'll need to master the new post game in 2K12 (more on in this in a future Developer Insight) to take down Dikembe. The Teams 1993-94 Rockets: Kenny Smith, Vernon Maxwell, Robert Horry, Otis Thorpe, Hakeem Olajuwon, Mario Elie, Sam Cassell, Scott Brooks, Matt Bullard 1993-94 Nuggets: Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Bryant Stith, Reggie Williams, Rodney Rogers, Dikembe Mutombo, Robert Pack, Tom Hammonds, LaPhonso Ellis

Tiger Woods Lasik Surgery | Tiger Woods' Lasik Doctor
Before Lasik, Tiger Woods was legally blind and unable to see the ball on the tee without glasses or contacts. "Tiger Woods a TLC Laser Eye Centers Patient since1999! Tiger had a very high prescription prior to his LASIK surgery, which placed him in the worst one percent of those with nearsightedness.
Tiger was considered to be legally blind without his glasses or contacts. Prior to LASIK surgery, without his glasses or contacts, he would not have even been able to see the ball on the tee." (No author credited, "Sharing Success," TLC Laser Eye Centers, Rockville, Maryland in Washington, DC area, ca. 2005, retrieved Sunday, September 13, 2009)
Wins his next five PGA tournaments after undergoing laser eye surgery. "Tiger Woods had the [laser eye surgery] operation in October [1999]. He won his next five PGA tournaments. Coincidence? No one knows for sure but hundreds of athletes in sport after sport - baseball, golf, auto racing, even kickboxing - are turning to the surgery." (Phil Galewitz, The Associated Press, "Pro Athletes Help Make Laser Eye Surgery Popular," The State, Columbia, South Carolina, April 6, 2000, p. A4)Wins five straight golf tournaments after Lasik and for $2 million endorses the center that performed his laser eye treatment. "From Tiger Woods on down, professional golf is filled with success stories of Lasik eye surgery. Woods, whose natural vision was so poor that he couldn't see the big E on the eye chart, went under the laser in 1999, won five straight tournaments and (for $2 million) promptly endorsed the center [the TLC Laser Eye Center in Rockville, Maryland] that performed the operation." (Hank Gola, Daily News Sports Writer, "Fore! Look Out For Lasik," New York Daily News, May 28, 2002, p. 67
Wins seven of his next 10 golf tournaments after Lasik. "Tiger Woods went into his LASIK surgery on a losing streak and he came out and then won seven of his next 10 tournaments." (Noah Adams, "Analysis: Growing popularity of LASIK surgery among athletes," NPR Special, April 18, 2005)

"The decision that changed my life." "For years I dealt with the hassles and frustrations of glasses and contacts. Then, I made the decision that changed my life. I had LASIK with a TLC Laser Eye Centers surgeon and the results were fantastic. As a professional golfer my eye sight was just too important to risk.
Some of my main competitors had LASIK and loved the results. So I went where they went, to TLC. They provided me with the information that I needed and wanted to know.
TLC answered all of my questions and helped me to be excited, not afraid of LASIK." (Tiger Woods, TLC Laser Eye Centers Patient," "Tiger Woods on His LASIK Experience," TLC Laser Eye Center, Rockville, Maryland, Washington, DC metropolitan area, undated, excerpt retrieved Sunday, September 13, 2009)
Tiger Woods Lasik Doctor, Dr. Mark Whitten. "Athletes have known for years that LASIK is effective, [Dr. Mark Whitten,
regional medical director of TLC Laser Eye Centers of the metro D.C.
area] says. He has lasered athletes such as golfer Tiger Woods. 'They
look at all of this technology as performance enhancement,' Dr. Whitten
says. 'They see better. They perform better. For the average person,
they might not notice all the little things the athletes see.'" (Jen
Waters, "A clearer view of the world; Better LASIK eye surgery
available," The Washington Times, Washington, DC, October 30, 2007)
The doctor that performed Lasik on Tiger Woods. "Dr. Mark E Whitten, of Rockville, Md.] is best known for performing laser surgery on golfer Tiger Woods." Who performed Lasik eye surgery on Tiger Woods? (No author credited, "Westmoreland man wins in eye surgery lawsuit," Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Friday, November 21, 2008)
"[T]rust me, life is much better when you see it clearly." "If you're considering LASIK, do your homework. Look for a surgeon with proven experience and a laser center that answers all of your questions and stands behind their results. I know what it's like to have poor vision. I also know what it's like to see 20/20. And trust me, life is much better when you see it clearly." (Tiger Woods, TLC Laser Eye Centers Patient," "Tiger Woods on His LASIK Experience," TLC Laser Eye Center, Rockville, Maryland, Washington, DC metropolitan area, undated, excerpt retrieved Sunday, September 13, 2009)
Tiger Woods' Advice on Lasik

These days, it's not unusual for our feline companions to reach their late teens or even their twenties, but they need lots of love and care from us to do so. As cats get older, their claws often become thickened, and dirt, hair, and kitty litter may become trapped underneath them. Because of both this thickening and an elderly cat's decreased activity, it is sometimes difficult for cats to shed their claws properly, and they need help from us -- their caregivers and veterinarians. It is probably a good idea to have your veterinarian check your cat's claws and trim them. Ask him or her to show you how to trim them properly, and then begin examining and trimming them every 2 to 4 weeks.
A couple of hints: Use a new sharp nail trimmer; a dull one will only split and crack an older cat's claws, causing them to bleed and exposing them to infection. Also, be especially gentle when restraining your cat and when handling his toes; older cats might be slightly stiff or arthritic. And be sure to give him some special attention after the trimming!

Gr. 4-6. Readers will welcome this Spanish edition of a beloved tale, first published in 1945, about a two-inch-tall mouse with a big heart and a love for adventure. The fluid text resonates with the original wit and whimsy that marked White's clever intermingling of fantasy and real life. Miguez's joyous translation maintains the author's rhyming play on words by using appropriate substitutions--for example, gorrion, dragon, and raton for the English louse, grouse, and souse. A few Peninsular Spanish pronouns and conjugations (vuestras, podeis, sabreis) won't deter Spanish speakers from the Americas from enjoying Stuart Little's wonderful escapades.

Criticas Reviews 2004 November-December
Gr 4-7-Stuart Little is a mouse born to human parents. Despite his small size, Stuart is able to integrate himself with the family, and in fact becomes indispensable to them, all the while trying to avoid the family's cat, Snowbell. While one could argue that the book has a meandering, episodic plot and a less than satisfying open ending, it's E.B. White's writing, which he does with the simplicity of a fairy tale, that has earned the book its classic status. This new Spanish translation captures that simplicity beautifully. Whenever necessary, the translator includes notes when something cannot be adequately translated, such as the opening line of the poem "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" due to its rhythmic nature. The translator also manages to capture some of the gentle poetic flow and humor of E.B. White's original prose, especially toward the end, when Stuart talks about his beloved Margalo to the telephone company repairman. Of course, White himself made the translator's job easy by creating a charming book using clear, concise writing. This classic will prove useful to collections that carry Spanish chapter books.-Tim Wadham, Maricopa County Lib. District, Phoenix, AZ Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
