"Who's this Scott Pilgrim guy everyone's talking about?"
Okay, so I hadn't had any caffiene and apparently everyone linked the CPM statement.
However, I seriously haven't seen a link to this Toronto Star profile of Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley that ran this past Saturday. Big Arts-Section Page 3 story, with lots of art and even an author photo! Not too shabby at all...
Congrats, Mal. :) Oh, and Saturday evening's release party for Dinosaur Comics and Scott Pilgrim went really well I think?
"I didn't originally have the whole thing planned out, but when the movie people came calling, I had to sketch out the rest of the ideas, which I think was a good thing," O'Malley says.
Ah, yes, the movie deal. Universal Pictures optioned the series last year, enlisting director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) and screenwriter Michael Bacall to adapt the comic for the big screen.
"I met with them in Toronto last October, showed them the neighbourhoods, and it was great. I've been very involved, which is very nice and doesn't happen a lot, I think," O'Malley says of the film, which has yet to begin production.

The United States is in the midst of the most radical privatization agenda in its history. We see this in schools, health care, prisons and certainly with the U.S. military/ national security/ intelligence apparatus.

Using regular Expressions to strip Youtube URL from Movie ID
Hi I have a site which allows users to enter their details along with a youtube video link. This then gets added to a database. I want a page which displays all the submitted videos, using the Youtube API..
I've worked out how to pull the Videoentry meta data to create thumbnails for a video.. but I want to grab the full url which the user entered from my database.. run it through some regular expressions to get rid of the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF3fCM0c7xE(red part) and store the id in a variable. I want to then call the meta data based on the video id using the:
$videoEntry = $yt->getVideoEntry('TF3fCM0c7xE');
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you

You can use this:
And use explode() with the & symbol on the query section of the URL.
Then, search exploded array for 'v=' and retrieve the value following 'v=' using substr().Visit The Blog | Follow On Twitter

Force Flow, good suggestion with parse_url() to get the query string. However, why explode/substr when you could make good use of parse_str()?
PHP Code:
$url = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF3fCM0c7xE';
parse_str(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY), $query);
$video_id = isset($query['v']) ? $query['v'] : NULL;

Just how safe are energy drinks?
Last month, the American Medical Association came out in support of a ban on selling energy drinks to minors.
That issue has become serious enough for lawmakers to take it up at a hearing on Capitol Hill.
ABC's Rebecca Jarvis has.
From Youtube videos... to Facebook posts... and all over the internet children as young as 6 can be seen posing next to.... and experimenting with energy drinks.
Even reality TV star Honey Boo Boo revealing on GMA they're part of her favorite go to concoction "go-go juice.."
Honey Boo Boo – "Energy drink makes me happy, caffeine makes me happy."
But after complaints from parents and warnings from the medical community, Washington is now taking aim, claiming companies like monster, Red Bull and Rockstar are intentionally marketing to kids.
The drinks are currently marketed through pro-sporting events, concerts, tours, and shows... the type of things that usually draw a young audience.
Most of the drinks do come with a warning label to "consume responsibly" and that they are "not recommended for children" ..still some experts suggest nearly a third of people between 12 and 17 years old are regularly consuming them.
Dr. Richard Besser, "It can cause palipitations in the heart, high blood pressure, anxiety, trouble sleeping, these are not things children should be subjected to."
Between 2007 and 2011, one study says the number of emergency room visits involving energy drinks doubled... and more than a thousand of the incidents involved teens.
While the drink makers have agreed to review social media...and red bull has says it has set limits on the amount of caffeine in its drinks including labels limiting the drinks to those 16 and up setting up what is sure to be an even more contentious and energetic debate.

The Pittsylvania County Sheriff's Office has charged two 17-year-olds in the kidnapping and killing of a dog.
The dog's owner filed a complaint with the sheriff's office on Tuesday, June 11th, that his dog had been missing for more than a month.
Deputies investigated, and that led to juvenile petitions being filed for two male teenagers on Wednesday, June 12th.
Investigators believe the pair kidnapped the dog, a Class 5 felony, and also killed the dog in an effort to hide the evidence of the theft. The boys also face a charge of misdemeanor cruelty to an animal.
Both teens are being held at the W.W. Moore Jr. Juvenile Detention Home in Danville.
The investigation is ongoing, and deputies plan to make another arrest in the case.

It was the second annual pre-drilled hole Ice Fish Fest out at Catfish Bay in Sioux Falls.
Organizers have been privately stocking the bay for the last 20 years and this year, they said it was the biggest one yet.
They had 18 inch walleyes, big bass, and crappies, and the person who catches the biggest fish won a thousand dollars cash.
"They've caught lots of fish, people are having a great time. Pretty amazing the amount of fish they've caught out here," Jim Bruns said.
Participants have caught about 500, compared to last year when they caught only about 300. All proceeds from the event help fund the water ski team at Catfish Bay.

Verfeil House Rental Photos and Description
Restored farmhouse, 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, swimming pool, set in countryside
Completed in July 2013 this fully restored traditional detached stone farmhouse is set on the edge of the small rural hamlet of Cambou and will accommodate 12 people in 6 fully furnished large bedrooms, 2 doubles and 4 twins with 3 bathrooms, one being en-suite.
Cambou is situated in the hills between the villages of Varen and Verfeil sur Seye with the boulangerie, village shop, post office, pharmacy, village bars and restaurants being nearby.
Varen is a friendly medieval village of historical importance on the edge of the river Aveyron with a thriving village market every Saturday morning. Children and adults are often seen enjoying lazy days relaxing by the water's edge, swimming, fishing and picnicking in this picturesque setting.
La Vieille Ferme has been restored to a high standard whilst retaining the rustic charm and character of a period stone property with vaulted ceilings upstairs and exposed stonework. The thick stone walls and fully insulated roof tend to keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter ensuring maximum comfort.
The fully fitted kitchen boasts granite worktops, a double oven with hob, dishwasher, American fridge freezer, microwave, toaster plus everything associated with a well-equipped kitchen including an oak trestle table with chairs comfortably seating 12 people.
The lounge features an open stone fireplace, comfortable leather seating, wide screen satellite television, round table with 6 chairs and a set of double doors opening onto private gardens. There is WIFI access and a washing machine located in the utility room.
The garden is stone walled and fenced around the entire perimeter with additional fencing around the 12 metre swimming pool with roman steps offering parents with children additional security.

Andrew Hennell
Andrew and Diana Hennell have been married for 31 years, have two children, a short haired pointer called Twiglet and run their own businesses.
Andrew is an antiques dealer specialising in early oak furniture and associated antiquities who works closely with both museums and private clients always going out of his way to ensure that he matches the correct next custodian with any early piece of furniture because he is passionate about preserving history for future generations. Many of Andrew's discoveries have been recorded and now appear as illustrated examples in various reference books. Even though much of Andrew's work is now dealing with clients directly, he can still be found three days a week in his shop in Woodstock Oxfordshire when he is not in France.
Diana runs her own marketing business from offices located in the grounds of the family home situated on the Sussex/Surrey borders. Diana started her business nearly 20 years ago with a view to being able to work part time from home whilst balancing being a mum. Since that time things have snowballed, thus the position in which she finds herself today with a team of 7 staff.
Andrew and Diana escape from the UK whenever the opportunity arises and now spend as much time in France as possible in their home which is about half a mile away from La Vielle Ferme. Initially time in France was restricted to just school holidays, but now that their oldest is working in London and their youngest has just finished school and is going to University, longer stays in France beckon.
Twiglet is always thoroughly disappointed to have to return to the UK in the back of the car, so from a dog's perspective life is turning out to be just wonderful.
La Vielle Ferme is a place to relax and unwind in a traditional stone farmhouse situated in a small hamlet surrounded by open countryside.
Open the kitchen doors and enjoy breakfast in the enclosed courtyard after getting fresh croissants from the local boulangerie.
Then you could visit a local market and stock up on local produce, cheese and wine, have a swim, sunbathe, read a book, a game of table tennis, go for a walk, visit a historic bastide town, hire a kayak, visit Grotte de Bosc or Cap de Couverte both ideal for the children, fish in the river Aveyron or just stay put and enjoy a lazy day.
At lunchtime you will be spoilt for choice, Do you prepare food yourself and sit under the open sided barn and open a bottle of local Gaillac wine or go out to eat at one of the many restaurants offering great value home cooked food?
The afternoon is often hot, great for sun bathing and swimming but cool in the house. Look out for the flock of sheep being walked down the road to pastures new. Stroll down the footpaths to the river in Varen and explore the medieval village with it's large church and chateau, then a cold beer in the village bar.
Evenings are beautiful especially as the sun sets. Watch the sky turn to crimson and capture the moment on your camera. Light the BBQ, set the table in the barn, turn on the swimming pool lights and enjoy the peace and tranquility as the darkness closes in. The evening skies are normally clear with almost no light pollution, lie back on a lounger and look at the stars. Seventeen shooting stars spotted in an evening is our record.
Take time out for a family game of cards or chess but don't forget to stop and listen for a moment because you are unlikely to hear a single man made sound, just the crickets rubbing their legs and an owl in the distance. Watch the bats in the light of the moon and lanterns acrobatically catching their evening meal.
La Vielle Ferme has six well appointed double/twin bedrooms with two staircases one at each end of the house ideal for two families sharing.
The kitchen with doors opening on to a private walled courtyard is ideal for parents wanting to keep a watchful eye on young children whilst preparing food.
There is ample seating in the kitchen and outside stone barn both having large tables comfortably seating 12 people.
The swimming pool with a deep and shallow end, roman steps and underwater lighting is surrounded by a fence for security purposes and there are ample sun loungers on the tiled surround.
Private car parking for up to 6 cars with two of which are under cover.
A good sized garden with a lawned area and field beyond are fully fenced and stone walled to keep children contained within an enclosed area.
Satellite television with English channels, WIFI Internet connection, games and books are provided as is fresh bed linen and towels.
The house is double glazed and has a fully insulated roof which keeps the property cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The electric heating with individual thermostats is essential for winter comfort.
Many rural footpaths to explore with the villages of Verfeil Sur Seye and Varen both being within walking distance.
The boulangerie, pharmacy, restaurants/bars, village shop for essentials, post office and a doctor's surgery are all within a few minutes drive. Fresh milk and eggs are always available from the local farms.
A train station is just 8 minutes drive away at Lexos with free car parking and a service to Toulouse which takes just over 1 hour.

BY: Kori Sciandra | December 19, 2012

« RFID Risky; Could Expose Company Secrets, says Forrester | Main | Brain may explain feeling of being followed »
September 29, 2006
Feeling like you're being watched
If our email and phone calls are any indication, thousands of people around the country are convinced they have been implanted with some form of computer chip that can control them or listens to their thoughts.
Frankly, the jury is out for me on this whole issue. I believe that most people who "hear voices" or think someone is controlling them are suffering from schizophrenia (those are the hallmark symptoms), while other cases are not as easy to dismiss.
Regardless, the fact is I deal with RFID for commercial and inventory purposes, and I have never heard of an implant that could do the things people claim to be experiencing. The VeriChip implant, for instance, has no ability to control a person's thoughts, movements, etc. nor can it emit or transmit sounds. Plus, its read range is too short for someone to access it remotely. It can't even pinpoint a person's location from more than a few feet away. While it's true that Liz and I did run across some creepy patents for implants (detailed in Chapter 14 of Spychips) it is extremely unlikely these have been surreptitiously implanted into people involved in everyday disputes.
I will admit that I feel a pang of guilt when I dismiss these accounts. These people are either (a) in trouble and in need of psychiatric or emotional help, which I am not able to provide, or (b) experiencing a real phenomenon that is almost too horrible to contemplate. (OR they could be totally pulling our legs, which is another possibility.) But it is hard to look away when a fellow human appears so clearly to be suffering.
Assuming there is no such thing as a mind control implant, the accounts appearing in our in-boxes (and across the internet) raise disturbing questions about our society. Is our ubiquitous surveillance technology creating a surge in neurosis and mental illness? Research suggests that people do tend to get paranoid if they believe they have no way of knowing when they are being watched. Perhaps the rise in CCTV cameras, database profiling, and guerilla marketing is making us all a little nuts, and some people express it more overtly than others.

I don't think our surveillance technology is creating a surge in neurosis, just a surge in the neurotic people you're being exposed to.

Posted by: Raj at December 17, 2006 1:51 PM
Hi, for two years I tried to convince myself I am crazy and/or schizophrenic. But I don't hear voices, nor do I believe anyone is controlling my behaviour or watching me. However - when you wake up one day after being "knocked out" at a party - with a scar in the back side of your right tricep along with blood dripping down your arm, it is a bit confusing. Especially when a few days after the occurance, an acquanitance informs you that a "identification/tracking" device has been inserted in you. Less than one month after the FDA approved the chip for human testing. Where is someone like me to go?
Posted by: Anonymous at February 2, 2007 10:48 AM
Is there any way to detect whether an RFID chip is present?
Posted by: Tamara at February 13, 2007 12:09 AM
To Katherine Albrecht who believes that those thousands of people who believe that their thoughts are being readed may be nuts, only because it may not have happen to you.We are living in the time of that false god, that(anti-christ)who wants to be God.Jesus had the power to read people thoughts,and the anti-christ has the power to do the same thing.Imagine someone walking up to you and telling you smething about you, and you respond by saying, my God no one knows that but me you must be a prophet sent from God! Thank you Jesus I love you.
God bless you

While I don't think the Verichip is the mark of the anti-christ (I'm pagan, so I guess so much for that) I do have privacy issues with the device.
The thing with the anonymous writer who wrote earlier is a bit disturbing. Though I hope not to offend the writer, I'm hoping it was a prank..the idea of it being anything else is terrifying.

The first weekend in June was a busy one in all quarters of West Orange.
Three elementary schools on Saturday -- Gregory, Mt. Pleasant and Redwood schools -- celebrated the conclusion of the school year with annual carnivals put on by their PTAs. It was a time for students, siblings, parents, teachers and administrators to let loose and play games, activities, eat burgers and hot dogs, and reflect on the end of another school year.
And with the weather probably as close to perfect as it could get, students did not hesitate to wear their swimming trunks and enjoy the water activities.
Gregory Elementary School held its annual Strawberry Festival, where the most popular game seemed to be the dunk tank. Students lined up one after another to hit the mark and drop one of their classmates in the dunk tank.
Up the hill on the other side of the town, Mt. Pleasant Elementary School put on its Family Fun Day. More than 100 people brought blankets, laid out in the sun and played games all afternoon.
Across town, more than 200 people gathered at Redwood Elementary School where students had no lack of things to do with the multiple inflatable games there.
On Sunday, St. Joseph's Church was replete with hot food and full bellies as the West Orange African Heritage Organization put on its eighth annual Men Who Cook fundraiser.
More than a dozen men donning tall chef hats served a bevy of homemade food to hungry attendees. All the proceeds will go to the Thomas Holcomb Scholarship Fund.
The winners this year for best dish and best cake were Carl Bell and Warren Bailey, respectively. Bell served a Southern favorite, Hoppin' Johns, while Bailey baked his jammin' rum cake.
Are you looking for a new dish to serve tonight? Well Greg Bullock has you covered. At the event on Sunday, Bullock was commemorating Juneteenth -- when slaves in Texas were finally emancipated in 1865 -- with Texas favorites, such as jelly cake and Texas caviar.
Bullock handed out this recipe for Texas caviar, which is as follows.
• 3 16-ounce cans of black-eyed peas.
• 1/2 cup of minced yellow bell peppers.
• 1/2 cup of minced red bell peppers.
• 1/2 cup of minced scallions, including the green part.
• 1/2 cup of virgin olive oil.
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
• 1 clove garlic, minced.
• 1 teaspoon dried cumin.
• 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno chili, or to taste (use minced habanero, if you dare for a little extra bite!).
1. Drain the black-eyed peas and place them in a non-reactive bowl.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to make sure that all the ingredients are mixed.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least five hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Bryant McFadden - #20 - CB
|6' 0"/ 190 lbs.
|Hollywood, FL
|Florida State
|Years played
|2005, 2nd round, 30th pick by Steelers
Steelers cut McFadden, Battle
The Steelers announced Wednesday that they have terminated the contracts of CB Bryant McFadden and WR Arnaz Battle.
Steelers' salary-cap issues material but not crippling
Steelers president Art Rooney II told reporters that the club faces some cap-related decisions, but there are ways the club can address this issue.
McFadden's return gives Steelers another CB option
The Steelers' reacquisition of Bryant McFadden a little more than a year after he departed in free agency signals there will be greater competition at cornerback and perhaps a change at one of the starting spots after the pass defense ...
Steelers acquire CB McFadden from Cardinals
The Steelers acquired CB Bryant McFadden from the Cardinals for a fifth-round pick on Saturday. McFadden played for Pittsburgh, which received a sixth-round selection from Arizona in the deal, from 2005-08.
McFadden, who has a strained abdomen, did not practice Thursday.||||||| McFadden also did not practice early last week, but he returned to practice Friday and played in the AFC championship game - albeit with a somewhat reduced workload. William Gay assumed McFadden's role as the team's No. 2 cornerback.
McFadden is active for the AFC championship game against the New York Jets.||||||| He was limited by an abdominal injury from the win over Baltimore last Saturday.
The Steelers reacquired McFadden plus a sixth-round draft pick from the Arizona Cardinals for one of Pittsburgh's three picks in the fifth round.||||||| McFadden started for the Steelers' Super Bowl-winning team in the 2008 season, then signed with Arizona as a free agent before last season. He is the third player to return to the Steelers during the offseason. They previously re-signed wide receiver Antwaan Randle El and inside linebacker Larry Foote.
McFadden and teammate Troy Polamalu were hurt on the same play in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 38-10 win at Cincinnati.||||||| McFadden suffered an arm injury and was expected to have tests. He is considered day-to-day for Sunday's home game versus the New York Giants. Polamalu, meanwhile, lost his helmet while tackling Benson and was unsteady as he walked off the field. Neither returned.
McFadden will not play in Sunday's game against Seattle because of a severely sprained ankle.||||||| McFadden, the primary backup to starters Deshea Townsend and Ike Taylor, was injured in last weekend's 21-14 loss at Arizona. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he will be replaced in the nickel package by rookie William Gay.

(WQOW) - Things are tightening in Wisconsin and the candidates have taken note. Wisconsin is proving to be what we've said all along, a key battleground state for the upcoming election.
A poll by Quinnipiac University shows Mitt Romney gaining two points in the state. The President now leads his challenger 50% to 47%. With increased focus on Wisconsin -- the number two on the Obama Biden ticket was in La Crosse Friday. Congressman Paul Ryan will be back in his home state Monday, to attend a town hall at Carroll University.
And in another race that continues to tighten, the race for the open U.S. Senate seat in Wisconsin. Currently Representative Tammy Baldwin is leading former Governor Tommy Thompson 48% to 46%.

Harry Shearer to Host San Rafael Screening of 'The Big Uneasy' Tonight
You might know him as Derek Smalls, the hirsute Spinal Tap bassist who sets off metal detectors with the aluminum-wrapped cucumber he stores in the crotch of his pants. Or perhaps you know him better as one of the many voices he provides for TV's The Simpsons, including the reptilian mogul Montgomery Burns, his kowtowing assistant Waylon Smithers, or the aggressively upbeat Ned Flanders.
He is Harry Shearer – actor, director, musician, author and radio host, to mention just a few of the applicable monikers. Whether you're familiar more with his vocal acrobatics or his talent for improv, on display during two short-lived stints with Saturday Night Live and in his collaborations with Tap guitarist Christopher Guest (A Mighty Wind), you probably don't know Shearer as an avid news junkie.
Get to know him tonight at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, where the 67-year-old Los Angeles native will be hosting the 7 p.m. screening of The Big Uneasy, his illuminating new documentary about New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina and the insufficiently designed levees that left a bustling metropolis vulnerable to preventable floods.

Agreed… It is created to make people follow cricket… As i said we can win only if we are lucky enough… But we will have our own events and will gift members who comes on top within our group
Are you a little dim witted? Read the article properly . the author have just written
winners walk away with prize and if they start giving prizes for everyone who play
cricket, as u expect then the cricket website owner will come to platform then!
Its a game for cricket lovers, and if u are smart enough to be on top, u get money as simple
as that and I am gonna play it for entertainment and winning money is secondary for me.
harpreet singh
how does this works
Michael John
Select a team of 11 and split it into two batting and bowling teams. In bowling team keep all your bowlers on top and in your batting team keep all your best strikers on top. The idea behind this game is your batting score should be higher than the runs given by your bowler.
More details can be seen in that website itself.

Three prisoners sentenced to death for their leadership of the 1993 Lucasville rebellion, now at Ohio State Penitentiary, have been on hunger strike since Jan. 3. An Open Letter that will be presented to prison officials at tomorrow's rally has collected more than 500 signatures from Ohio, many other states and all across the globe, among them many prominent citizens. Buses are bringing supporters from far and wide to the rally.
December 31, 2010
Siddique Abdullah Hasan, Bomani Shakur (Keith LaMar), Jason Robb and Namir Mateen (James Were) will start a hunger strike on Monday, Jan. 3, to protest their 23-hour-a-day lockdown for nearly 18 years. They were sentenced to death for their alleged roles in the 11-day Lucasville rebellion in April 1993. They are innocent! They were wrongfully convicted! They are political prisoners.

Crohn's disease is generally more difficult to diagnose than the other major inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) ulcerative colitis. This is because, unlike the ulcerative colitis, Crohn's isn't confined to any one area of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Ulcerative colitis is located in the colon, while Crohn's may appear anywhere from the mouth to the anus. Because of this, there are several different types of Crohn's disease, each with its own set of symptoms. If you know which symptoms to watch out for, you can better help your doctor make a proper diagnosis.
General Symptoms of Crohn's Disease
A few symptoms are common among all types of Crohn's disease. These symptoms include abdominal pain with cramps, diarrhea, weight loss, and a lack of energy. Pain usually begins within an hour of eating and is most often centered around the navel, the lower right abdomen, or both. Activities such as jogging will often make the pain worse. Another symptom that differentiate Crohn's from ulcerative colitis is an area of swelling—found in about 25 percent of Crohn's patients—that's usually located in the lower right part of the abdomen. The swelling is typically about the size and firmness of a small grapefruit. The tenderness of the swelling, which is easily felt, ranges from mild to extreme. Mild tenderness points to an inflamed intestine and enlarged lymph glands. Extreme tenderness may be due to an abscess, in which case the skin may appear red and/or stretched. Moderate tenderness could signal a combination of the above causes.
Another symptom of Crohn's disease that affects 25 percent of patients is perianal disease. It's usually is in the form of a fistula (an abnormal connection between two organs that aren't usually joined) which may also include one or more abscesses. Some patients have swollen skin tags around the anus as well.
Symptoms of Crohn's Disease of the Colon
Symptoms of Crohn's disease of the colon, also known as Crohn's colitis, manifest differently depending on where the disease is located in the colon.
If the disease is on the right side of the colon, a patient will generally have cramps and diarrhea. If it's located on the left side or involves most of the colon, a person may experience blood in the stool in addition to the other symptoms.
If the disease is located on the rectum, symptoms will be similar to ulcerative colitis and include bloody diarrhea or false urges,the feeling of having a bowel movement in which little or nothing comes out.
Symptoms of Crohn's Disease of the Small Intestine
Between 70 and 80 percent of patients with Crohn's disease of the small intestine (small bowel Crohn's) will experience cramps, diarrhea, and weight loss.
Occasionally, a person with small bowel Crohn's will have constipation rather than diarrhea. Pain is so extreme with this type of Crohn's that some people will avoid eating, which accounts for most of the weight loss.
Symptoms of Crohn's Disease of the Ileum and Colon
Someone with both Crohn's of the ileum (a portion of the small intestine) and Crohn's colitis may experience symptoms associated with either of the diseases above, or both. This is because Crohn's of the ileum may flare up when the colonic disease is in remission, or vice versa.
Symptoms of Crohn's Disease of the Stomach or Duodenum
Many people who have Crohn's of the stomach or duodenum will experience no symptoms at all. Over 90 percent of those who have symptoms, however, will have pain in the upper abdomen either during or immediately following a meal. A smaller percentage will experience nausea, vomiting, or both.
Around half of the people who have symptoms of Crohn's of the stomach or duodenum will experience weight loss due to food avoidance. In some cases, because of scarring, this type of Crohn's will cause a narrowing of the outlet of the stomach into the duodenum. If this happens, patients will usually experience a decrease in appetite, a prolonged bloated feeling located in the upper abdomen, and nausea.
Symptoms of Crohn's Diseases of the Appendix, Esophagus, and Mouth
These types of Crohn's are extremely rare; therefore, it's not possible to identify their "typical" symptoms. Crohn's disease of the appendix may mimic appendicitis and can be present without any other unique symptoms. Crohn's of the esophagus may cause pain behind the breastbone while swallowing.
If the esophagus has become narrower due to scarring, a person may have trouble swallowing or food may become stuck on the way down. If you have these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
Crohn's of the mouth will likely manifest as large, painful sores in the mouths of patients who are suffering from another type of the disease. If you have this symptom, contact your doctor.

How to Check Your Phone Security Settings
- By Richard Clooke on December 06, 2012
mobilesecurity.com [London, UK] It's always a good idea to add protection to any device that carries sensitive data. This might be in the form of security software to tighten the defences of a device itself, or it might be an insurance policy to protect against any loss, or damage to your device.
But the developers of the operating systems our smartphones depend on are also doing their part. So while some security software additions to a phone are helpful, making the most of on-device security settings is nothing short of best practice.
The place to start is to ensure any phone can be effectively locked. This means adding a PIN/passcode, a lock gesture or - for Android - facial recognition. The last of those is probably the least used, but any lock is better than none. PIN codes are standard to iOS and Android devices, but are switched off by default, while gesture lock functionality comes as a standard Android option and can also be added to iOS via an app.
Beyond this 'front door' lock, awareness of additional phone settings will improve user knowledge when it comes to phone and data security. As a bonus, becoming familiar with these settings will also be useful if future features arrive in new software versions.
For Android, one such addition in the 'Jelly Bean' update highlights this perfectly. Under the 'Personal' header in the Settings app is 'Security'. In here is the new 'Verify Apps' checkbox, which when selected will check the safety of any app downloaded from Google's servers. Importantly, it's on by default and will be obvious to anyone with a knowledge of security settings on previous Android devices.
Verify apps also sits on the same page as some other useful options. At the top of this page you can find 'Screen Security'. This covers how long your phone remains unlocked for when it sleeps, and whether pressing the power button instantly locks your device. Below 'Screen Security' come options to encrypt all of the data on your phone and to 'Show Passwords'. This won't show the whole password, but will show the last character typed into any password field on your phone. It's off as standard to protect from prying eyes.
Just above the aforementioned 'Verify Apps' option is another setting to help safeguard content, and that is 'Unknown Sources'. Again an option that is off by default, this allows installation of apps via 'sideloading' – from sources other than the Play Store. More knowledgeable users may occasionally sideload, but even if 'Unknown Sources' is active, the first time something is installed this way a user will be asked if they want to verify such apps with Google (as of Android 4.2).
Apple takes a somewhat different approach, although the settings on iOS mirror the more universal security options that come with most smartphones. Screen lock and 'passcode' (PIN) lock options are included under Settings > General. But with its strong preference for all user content to come via iTunes and the App Store, Apple has no on-device options for checking app or data safety. Arguably it doesn't need to, as each app it allows into the App Store is individually vetted. Still, that hasn't stopped some changes making their way into iOS 6.
Such a change can be found under Settings > Privacy, which is where Apple has decided to address the issue of individual app permissions. With questions being raised over what iOS apps have access to (such as users' contact lists), Apple has seen fit to address the issue.
In this part of the iOS settings you can see at once the apps requesting access to your location, contacts, photos, calendar – and even social network accounts details. Then, under each service, you can review and disable access for individual apps. Such a measure might not be seen as a 'security' setting in the traditional manner, but it empowers the user and should be kept an eye on to see which apps can access which information or services.
The second useful feature brought about by iOS6 is a change to the free Find My iPhone app. It adds Lost Mode, a remotely activated lock option that can show a customisable message. The idea being that if you lose your device, you can lock it via iCloud or a friend's iOS device. Then, if anyone comes across your phone, they can contact you. Like iOS permissions settings this isn't really a traditional security setting at all, but it's well worth looking at.
After all, like any of the options mentioned above, helping to keep your phone and data secure is what security settings are for. It's a really good idea to make yourself aware of them, and implementing them in a smart way can't hurt either.

On December 29th 2008, in a game against Cincinnati, then Memphis Tigers Head Coach John Calipari moved struggling shooting guard Tyreke Evans to point guard, unleashing Evans' phenomenal talent and potential. After his transition to PG, the Tigers would go on a 27-game winning streak, until their defeat to Missouri in the Sweet Sixteen.
At 6'6, 220lbs, Tyreke Evans isn't built as your typical NBA point guard. However, his exuberant ball-handling ability, coupled by his formidable driving skill, took the league by storm during his rookie season, where he posted averages of 20 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. The impact of his rookie campaign was so powerful, that the only other players in NBA history to post such numbers in their respective rookie seasons are Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Oscar Robertson
Tyreke Evans - Rookie of the Year (via kingsflix)
Following his remarkable first year, 'Reke' has been labelled a disappointment. While foot injuries have been the primary reasons for his decline, his inability to improve on his weaknesses, especially his jump-shot, have raised questions regarding his work ethic and motor during the off-season.
Since the year 2000, six guards have captured the ROY title: Steve Francis, Chris Paul, Brandon Roy, Tyreke Evans, Derrick Rose, and Kyrie Irving. According to Basketball Reference, Evans ranks last on this list (respective rookie seasons) , in field goal percentage for shots ranging 3ft from the basket all the way out to the three point line. The 'Lay-Up King', however, kills the competition in shots at the rim (596), with Derrick Rose second (516), and Steve Francis third with 392 attempts. In addition, we can also point out that each guard listed above, with the exception of Tyreke Evans, has been selected to participate in the All-Star Game, either in their third or second year in the league.
In his rookie season, the way he bullied his way past defenses, game after game, was a pleasure to watch. It was almost unfair towards his smaller opponents for him to demand the ball in the post. Despite his limitations away from the rim, his one-on-one game overshadowed every flaw.
Since the arrival of promising young center DeMarcus Cousins, the greatness that we witnessed in Tyreke's rookie season has hardly been visible. Even though his scoring prowess remains, Evans' playing position is probably on of the most head scratching dilemmas basketball world's inhabitants attempt to resolve. Let's face it, his jump-shot needs some fixing, and he knows that. The problem is that he's known that for almost four years and we haven't seen results. I mean, without looking up stats, we automatically know that Rose, Irving, Roy, Paul and Francis are all better jump shooters than Evans.
The biggest question I have is, 'At this point, does Tyreke Evans with a jump-shot really change things?'
Three years after his 20-5-5 season, the former ROY finds himself taking a backseat to the 60th pick of the 2011 NBA Draft. This statement brings about this other question: 'Does starting Isaiah Thomas at PG interfere with Evans' growth?' I think yes. I say this because Thomas is not considered a point guard to build a franchise upon, which is something that Evans embodies.
Now, there is no question that Isaiah Thomas has been impressive and is well deserving of his playing time, however the fact remains, 'Reke' has the higher ceiling.
There is no reason why Tyreke Evans should not make a handful of All-Star appearances and fulfill his promise.This season, he is averaging career lows in minutes, points, and assists. Despite the low numbers, his 3pt field goal percentage is at an all-time high (35%), this shows that he has been working on his outside game, and that maybe he is ready to pick up where he left off.
As a Tyreke Evans fan, I'd hate to see him underachieve. It would hurt me to constantly think of his rookie season as his only successful year in the league. Right now, his 20-5-5 season has no meaning. None whatsoever.
At this point, with the way things are going down in Sacramento, moving Tyreke to point guard couldn't possibly make things worse for the Kings. It's not like they'll make the playoff, so why not? It worked in Memphis, it might as well work now.

I graduated from U of I three years ago, but still have my student ID because it can come in handy if I get a student ticket. But now that I'm so far removed I've lost all my connections to getting them. I know there are several current students on BHGP so I was just curious if I could find someone who could get a student ticket for me for the ISU game this year. I have a bunch of buddies coming back to town that weekend that we are meeting up and I was just trying to find a relatively inexpensive way to get to the game. I'm willing to pay around $50 so if someone can find one from some girl who has them but is totally uninterested in anything football and sells it for like $20, well then I'll give you the $30 on top of that. Just curious if anyone can help, not sure where else to go to avoid the scalpers ridiculous prices. E-mail me at email@example.com if you would have anything for me, and just reference Hawkeye tickets.
Sorry if stating the price willing to pay isn't kosher, and you can remove that if it's not and I'll beg the mercy of the court.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For every push, there is a pull. For every "Ying," there is a "Yang." For every Gray Maynard ... there is a Frankie Edgar?
One of the greatest rivalries mixed martial arts (MMA), fans have been privileged to witness Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) history each time Edgar and Maynard have butted heads. All of the momentum between the two culminated when they fought, most recently, at UFC 136 on Oct. 8, 2011, in Houston, Texas. The fight ended in the fourth round when, after fighting neck-and-neck to that point, Edgar finally was able "Answer" the "Bully" with a knockout blow that reverberated around the building, if not around the world.
Since that fateful night, things have changed quite a bit for both men. Edgar has since lost his title via unanimous decision loss to Ben Henderson at UFC 144 on Feb. 25, 2012, in Saitama, Japan. Maynard has not yet stepped back into the cage, but he has experienced some additional turmoil of his own, fluctuating between training camps. Most recently, he was a member of the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), but within the last six months, he's spent a fair amount of time at the famous Brazilian Nova União team training facilities to diversify his skills.
On June 22, 2012, Maynard is set to face Clay Guida at UFC on FX 4 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Even though that is the fight in his immediate line of fire, Maynard told HeavyMMA that he still has not gotten over the notion that he and Edgar are still due for one last final showdown:
"The title has always been the goal. I would love to have the belt and somewhere along the line, get another fight with Edgar. We are 1-1-1 and we need to settle it once and for all. It has to happen eventually, and after that fight we can both be done. We can walk away knowing it's over and that we gave MMA fans some great fights to look back on."
The fight between Maynard and Guida came about in a somewhat less-than-organic manner, as it was the product of yet another fan-led Twitter campaign to get the two into the Octagon. Maynard talked about the way the fight was put together, as well as how he sees it shaping up:
"The fight between Clay and I actually came out as a rumor a long time ago. Someone put it out there that we were going to fight in Montreal, and even though it wasn't true, it drew solid attention. The UFC saw this, and Joe Silva thought it was a great fight - so they made it happen. Since it has been out there, I've pretty much been gearing up for him for a while now. Guida has good takedowns, but I feel that is my area and what he lacks as a true athlete he makes up for in heart and toughness. Clay is well known for his cardio, but he also likes to mix it up and throw hands. He has a good chin, great heart and it's a fun fight."
The winner of the fight is almost guaranteed the next title shot, but anything can happen. Especially in the lightweight division, which MMAmania.com detailed earlier in the day as being the most stacked division in the UFC. Here's what Maynard had to say about the men who fight at 155-pounds in the UFC:
"The lightweight division is like a drama. It is like a good soap opera that draws you in because it's not built up off bulls**t hype. There is no fake build-up where guys are talking a bunch of s**t in order to get fan's attention. It's all in the actual fights people are seeing, and it is the most competitive weight class in the UFC, hands down. The skill and heart displayed in our division is without comparison. We go out there, put it all on the line and get after it from bell to bell."
For Maynard, the loss to Edgar may not have been a totally bad thing. It made him go back to the drawing board and really re-evaluate where he was as a fighter. He's worked hard to add some new aspects to his fighting arsenal, and has branched out, as far as the resources from which he draws:
"Last year, I hit a plateau - I really did. Now it's time to learn, and there is a lot of work to do. It's not like I changed camps and it's suddenly I'm leaps and bounds ahead of where I was. I have a lot to learn, but I'm excited and inspired again to do it. As far as jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai, those things are just scratching the surface. There are so many other aspects and elements to refine or develop, like nutrition, sleep and recovery, which directly affect your performance. At the end of the day, those areas are relatively untouched and there is still so much to learn. I'm at a point in my career where I'm assessing everything I've learned. Obviously I've picked up a ton of useful information along the way, but I've also learned a great deal about what you shouldn't do. It's an awesome thing when you know who you are, how to train and what works best for you. I've been through it all and how you get to the top is realizing what you can and can't do."
In the ever-evolving sport of MMA, if you stagnate, you suffer. Maynard knows this and has been aggressively pursuing new ways to better himself as a fighter and as a person. Maynard has put the lightweight division on notice -- Look out for Gray Maynard 2.0:
"I'm living day to day and loving life right now," Maynard said. "I'm living my dream and I'm happy again. I'm training hard, going all over the Bay Area, and there is a lot of knowledge up here. It's been a great experience and I've learned a lot so far. I've picked up new techniques, different looks and my game is definitely evolving. All I want to do is continue to grow and develop, and I'm having a great time doing it. There is so much out there to learn. I'm hungry and excited to soak it all up, add new elements to my game and improve the areas I would consider my strengths. I want to keep evolving, and that is what it's going to take for me to become the fighter I want to be. I want to be a champion, and I'm going to do whatever it takes for that to happen."
First thing's first: Beat Guida. Next task? Take over the world.
Can Maynard overcome the seemingly infinite ball of energy that is Clay Guida and earn himself another title shot? Will "The Bully" one day wear UFC gold? What say you, Maniacs?
Comments, please.

The Atlanta Police are conducting humiliating and illegal searches, according to the Citizen's Review Board, who documented cases of officers pulling down people's pants, touching their genitals and even conducting cavity searches in public. The purpose, the board says, is to intimidate and frighten.
Police Chief George Turner is responding to those allegations in an exclusive interview with CBS Atlanta's Wendy Saltzman.
"Is it against your policy to be doing strip searches and cavity searches out in public?" Saltzman asked.
"If that actually occurred, it is against our actual policy," Turner responded
Last week, the city paid out a $200,000 settlement in one case and another lawsuit is on the brink of being filed after another officer allegedly touched a teenager's genitals in an illegal search.
"There's a custom and practice among Atlanta police officers to illegally search people, including strip search them. To pull down their pants, to touch their private areas, and in some cases to do rectal cavity searches out in the field," said Attorney Dan Grossman.
The Citizen's Review Board met to recommend the termination and suspension of several officers accused of using these disturbing intimidation tactics.
"This type of behavior shouldn't be tolerated," board member William Harrison said.
The board documented a pattern including strip searches, touching genitals, and conducting cavity exams, in public which they say is against the city's policy.
"It is completely illegal and against Atlanta policy for a police officer to stick his finger inside someone out in the field," Grossman agreed. "And yet, they admit doing it in their own police reports. It is typical of what they do, trying to use these tactics to intimidate, scare and terrify people."
But Chief Turner disagreed there is a pattern or that he has failed to take appropriate action.
"I am aware of the cases that have been brought to my attention, and we have dealt with those in my opinion very thoroughly and completely," the chief said.
Grossman disagreed. He represents three young men who he says were illegally searched by the police. One of the teens is 17-year-old Olajuwan Wilson.
"Without any reason to suspect him of anything, police officers came up, and a police officer stuck his hands down 17-year-old Wilson's pants," Grossman said.
In another case police pulled over two of Grossman's clients for running a stop sign he says didn't even exist.
"They wound up pulling down Mr. Venegas' pants and made him spread his butt cheeks on the side of the road," Grossman explained.
The police found no illegal contraband in either of those searches. Both cases were brought before the review board to recommend disciplinary action against the officers involved.
"I think we should consider termination," board member Paul Bartels said.
The officers were part of the now disbanded Red Dog unit. But Grossman says the problem reaches all the way to the department's top.
"People should be surprised by this. You should be surprised that Atlanta police officers are doing rectal exams out in the field. It's surprising. It's surprising that Chief George Turner doesn't discipline these guys. Anyone should be surprised by that. I don't know why we as a city have allowed Chief Turner to get away with this," Grossman said.
"Have you terminated or disciplined any of those officers?" Saltzman asked the Chief.
"I have not, that case has not concluded," Turner said.
"Isn't this a liability to the city?" Saltzman asked.
"You would have to talk to the law department about why they decide to settle cases," he said.
The chief is facing criticism that he is failing to take action against these officers.
"We're talking about a handful of thugs and a police chief who lets them get away with it," Grossman said.
"One of the things that is absolutely crystal clear is that I take no joy in disciplining our officers," the chief told Saltzman.
The city's policy says cavity searches have to be conducted in a jail by medical personnel. But in several police reports obtained by CBS Atlanta News officers admit to conducting strip searches in public.
"We have an obligation and a duty to investigate those. We are doing that," Turner said.
The board is recommending the termination of two officers, and the suspension of one more in the Venegas case. They will reconvene next month to discuss discipline of the officers in the Wilson search. Those recommendations will be sent to the chief for his review.
Turner says he is providing training for all of his officers concerning strip searches and citizen's constitutional rights. But he denies this is a pattern of practice in his department in spite of the lawsuits and police reports uncovered by CBS Atlanta News.

New twist in ex-cop's murder
Can bank teller account for Tony Hewitt's death?
POLICE yesterday were tight-lipped about the arrest of a bank teller who is suspected to be involved in the shooting death of retired Senior Superintendent of Police Anthony 'Tony' Hewitt.
A highly placed Jamaica Observer source said that the bank teller is alleged to be under investigation for fraudulently taking funds from an account owned by Hewitt, who reported him to the authorities.
"It is suspected that Tony Hewitt was the victim of a contract killing and the teller is believed to be involved," the source said.
Hewitt was attacked and shot to death two Sundays ago when he went to visit a relative at Donmair Court, off Donmair Drive in St Andrew.
Police report that two men approached him as he alighted from his vehicle and one whispered something in his ear before a struggle ensued.
Hewitt reportedly fought off the gunmen and raced to his car where he had left his licensed firearm. His attackers opened fire and he was shot in the arm, leg and buttocks. He reportedly died after he bled out from a ruptured main vein in his leg. Police believe Hewitt was trailed to the apartment by his attackers.
Three men — Jermaine 'Duppy Bat' Smith, Richard 'Red Head' Francis and Jomo McLeod — all residents of the tough community known as 'Common' which is near to the spot where Hewitt met his demise, were named as persons of interest and turned themselves in to the police days after the killing.
The three are scheduled to undergo an identification parade today.
A fourth resident of 'Common' has also handed himself in to the police and remains in custody.
However, the Observer source said other persons have been collared by the cops as the investigation into the brazen murder of the former decorated cop continues.
"There are others in jail in connection with that murder as we speak. The men who were named may be released soon, emphasis on may," the source said.
Yesterday, Christian Tavares-Finson, defence attorney for Smith, Francis and McLeod, confirmed that his clients were scheduled to undergo identification parades today.
Hewitt rose to prominence as a fearless and effective cop during the politically divided 1970s and retired from the force in 2003.
He was the head of the Flying Squad Division of the Criminal Investigation Branch and the Special Anti-Crime Task Force.
