ORLANDO—A chart review of patients who undertook food challenges found that those with asthma had lower failure rates, according to Carrie M. Lee, RN, MSN, of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and colleagues. They presented this finding at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology's 2012 Annual Meeting.
Noting that asthma patients may avoid oral food challenges for fear of reacting, the researchers compared the results of such challenges in patients with and without asthma. Their retrospective chart review included 105 patients with clinical food allergy, elevated serum specific IgE, or history of sensitization who underwent oral food challenges in 2011. Of the participants, 32 had physician-diagnosed asthma.
Reactions during oral food challenges occurred in 12.5% of asthma patients and 20.5% of patients without asthma. Reactions included irritability, pruritus, urticarial, emesis, and cough/wheeze among patients with asthma and food refusal, erythema, pruritus, emesis, urticarial, and cough/wheeze among patients without the condition.
These results indicate that food challenges should be encouraged among patients with asthma, although they "should always be performed under supervised medical care with use of an established protocol," said senior author Monica Vasudev, MD.

When the No. 48 car spun into the wall on lap 136 of Sunday's NASCAR race at Kansas Speedway, Jimmie Johnson's quest to win his sixth Sprint Cup Series championship appeared to be all but over.
Initially, crew chief Chad Knaus even told Johnson to drive straight to the garage – a move which would have put him several laps down while undergoing repairs.
But using the same resiliency that propelled them to five consecutive titles, the 48 crew went to work to repair the battered and bruised Chevrolet. And the hard work was rewarded as the end result saw Johnson stay on the lead lap and leave Kansas Speedway with a ninth-place result.
"Luckily the damage to the car was really cosmetic," Johnson said. "The suspension was still true and straight and the car drove correctly. That helped me more than anything. If the car was wicked and evil to drive, it would have been a long, long afternoon. Luckily nothing was all that bad and it was just cosmetics."
More important, he was able to keep pace with championship leader Brad Keselowski and leave the weekend just as he entered it – seven points out of first place.
"I'm just now getting a chance to look at the damage on the car and it's pretty severe," Johnson said surveying his wounded ride. "One, I'm impressed that they fixed it as they did and got the spoiler and deck lid back in place. Two, I'm surprised that the car was as fast as it was."
Initially, Johnson's day looked to be promising, as he quickly settled near the front when the green flag waved, before vaulting into the lead on Lap 75 where he paced the field for the next 44 circuits.
But after making an otherwise routine pit stop under the green flag, the caution came out, trapping him mid-pack. And it was then that his day became an adventure, as Johnson overdrove trying to work his way through traffic and pounded the wall.
It was a mistake Johnson would later readily acknowledge, while at the same time kicking himself for giving away what he thought was a possible victory.
"I had a couple of hundred miles to think through the mistake I made," Johnson said. "And I want to be happy because of this amazing comeback the team had, but one little mistake. We didn't lose many points if any, at all today; maybe it's a draw because I led a lap. I'm not sure if Brad did. But it could have been so much more. You don't want to leave points on the table."
If there is any solace in Sunday's result, it is that the series now travels to Martinsville, a track where Johnson is always on top of his game and a place where he's won six times.
"Today we had a fast enough car that I think we could have gotten some points on him (Keselowski)," Johnson said. "So I'm disappointed in that, but at the same time, what we went through to finish and have it be even still is pretty good. So, we'll take it and we'll go to Martinsville and hopefully things will go well."

America Compared to What (column)
October 30, 2008, 03:39:28 PM »
Interesting column since the Cove is discussing the degree of Socialism in the US currently and prospectively depending on the candidate:
America Compared to What?
By Victor Davis Hanson
October 30, 2008
After the September financial meltdown, many abroad, and some at home, immediately -- and with undisguised glee -- blamed America's problems on cowboy excess and forecast the end of American global influence.
But while those opportunistic critics had a point that reckless Americans had taken on far more debt than they should, the growing global economic downturn may well hurt others far more than the United States.
We got into this mess not because the American political system was flawed or because its free market system was stagnant. The problem was that after some six years of uninterrupted growth, human greed drove us to demand even more than we had earned.
Republicans let fast-talking Wall Street gurus gamble their firms into oblivion. Democrats allowed politically correct Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bureaucrats to siphon off bonuses while guaranteeing loans to millions who had no business taking out a mortgage.
We, the people, ran up credit cards, borrowed for overpriced houses and drove gas-guzzling cars fueled by high-priced imported fuel. The result was a national-debt flu -- but not a depression cancer -- that sickened an otherwise healthy host.
Why then would America in recession still be in better shape than others?
First, oil prices are crashing. That will soon save us hundreds of billions in imported-fuel expenses -- while denying our overextended enemies in Russia, as well as in Iran, Venezuela and others in the OPEC cartel, half of their accustomed cash to cause trouble.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is increasing natural-gas production; is likely to increase drilling offshore; will all but certainly soon build more nuclear power, wind and solar plants; and is sitting on the world's largest coal reserves. A new generation of hybrid, electric and flex-fuel cars are on the horizon that could even shave off more from our imported-fuel bills.
Second, we are already way ahead of the rest of the world in dealing with toxic debt. Western Europe is discovering that its banks lent more against their reserves than did their American counterparts. European real estate was often more inflated than our own. Bankers in Frankfurt, London and Paris are looking at trillions of dollars in uncollectible Euro loans throughout Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe. Most of our toxic debt was at least owed as mortgages by fellow Americans; far more of Europe's is owed by those outside the European Union.
Even when the United States is reeling from financial panic, foreign investment continues to flow into America; the dollar, meanwhile, is climbing against the Euro. China's export-driven and Russia's energy economies are in crisis. They may have hundreds of billions in dollar reserves, but as the world energy and consumer economies slow, both countries lack our institutions, infrastructure and broad flexibility to easily rebound.
Third, the United States is still growing as the population of Europe shrinks. The populations of Japan and China both age at a faster rate than America's does. Russia faces the perfect storm of a declining, aging and increasingly unhealthy population. The result is that America can much more easily grow itself out of a housing glut.
Fourth, the war in Iraq is no longer even a war in a traditional sense. Four times as many Americans were murdered just in the city of Chicago at peace in July than all those Americans who were killed in Iraq at war in the same period. The cost of deploying American troops in Iraq is nearing the expense to station them elsewhere abroad. As Iraqis continue to take over additional provinces, the American presence will further shrink.
There are also long-term reasons to believe the United States will better weather the current storm. We are a transparent society that blares out problems, affixes blame and then fights publicly over solutions. Japan's real estate meltdown of the 1990s took years to correct, given the emphasis on secrecy and shame within Japanese financial circles.
The 50 states of a federal United States -- some of them individually among the world's top 20 economies -- are also far better integrated than the 27 countries of the European Union. American banks are subject to uniform national policy and are forced to act in concert. In contrast, British, French and German lending institutions are often unwilling to bail out other countries, and compete with each other to attract scarce capital in times of crisis.
The United States military remains far stronger -- and more battle-hardened -- than the rest of the world's armed forces combined. Rogue nations and terrorists try to take advantage of economic uncertainty, but America remains the best-defended democracy in the world.
The current financial crisis has startled America from a hypnotic trance of self-indulgence and irresponsibility. But as we return to American fundamentals, we may discover that our political, social and economic system -- despite all the current election-cycle hysteria -- is still by far the most resilient in the world.
How odd that it took a financial catastrophe to remind us of that.
Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and author, most recently, of "A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War." You can reach him by e-mailing
I have to add this here...I had lunch with a former Colonel who was/is very involved in the military.ÃÂ He laid out the exact points above before I even knew about this column.ÃÂ The Colonel's knowledge comes from experience/traveling/studying much of the current events in Iraq and worldwide.ÃÂ
He said no matter who gets elected, we'll be "fine" (in all ways, not just militarily) for at least 20 years.ÃÂ He didn't go beyond the 20 year mark mainly because we're still figuring out globalization (positive and negative).ÃÂ
Another issue he's really focused on is alternative energy.ÃÂ The military is going that direction quickly and it'll create a market for the private sector's financing and R&D which should propel (pun?) us forward for not only energy, but, environmental, economic, and in national security.

Select Route:
This is a small crag compared to others in this general area, but it is the highest in elevation. This rock forms a summit cap on the Western ridge above the North side of Fern Canyon. From the top, you look back on a nice view down into town and to the West into the mountains. The angle from which you view all the other crags is almost disorienting.
Getting There
Head up the Fern Canyon trail passing Fern Canyon and the Nebel Horn Ridge, eventually arriving at a flat "pass" with loose gravel as a base (very little soil) and braided trails. To the right (North) there is a stubby-looking summit tower, and this is the Mars Block. You are looking at the shortest face, the South. The harder climbing is all on the West side, the easier climbing faces you on one of the two south-facing aspects, and the tallest stuff is only revealed by walking under it to the West.

This short climb is so-so at best, mostly due to its length. Protection is poor and the climbing awkward, yet the climb is not horrible, so perhaps it deserves a star, if for no other reason that it doesn't quite deserve a bomb.Climb up the corner to the notch (and back down- to tick it off twice?) or continue just over the top and scramble up the ridge Southward to the South summit, passing the bolted anchors to Plain Or Peanut on West face along the way.Descend via down-climbing this route or ...[more] Browse More Classics in CO

Common Sense Media reviews It's Complicated for kids and families.
In this comedy, Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) are life-long friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly "no strings attached." "No strings" means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don't fall in love. The question becomes- who's going to fall first? And can their friendship survive?
Writer/director Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday) directs Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in It's Complicated, a comedy about love, divorce and everything in between.
Jane (Streep) is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and has, after a decade of divorce, an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake (Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son's college graduation, things start to get complicated. An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable, an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman.
Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam (Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane's kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he's become part of a love triangle.
Should Jane and Jake move on with their lives, or is love truly lovelier the second time around? It's.complicated.
In a last ditch effort to save his career as a sports agent, JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) concocts a scheme to find baseball's next great pitching ace. Hoping to find a young cricket pitcher he can turn into a Major League Baseball star, JB travels to India to produce a reality show competition called "Million Dollar Arm." With the help of a cantankerous but eagle-eyed retired baseball scout (Alan Arkin) he discovers Dinesh (played by Madhur Mittal from "Slumdog Millionaire") and Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma from "Life of Pi"), two 18 year old boys who have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a knack for throwing a fastball. Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings the boys home to America to train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India — the boys, who have never left their rural villages — are equally challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer points of baseball — JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda (Lake Bell) — learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and what it means to be a family.

Childrens Hospital may have begun as a satire of medical dramas like Grey's Anatomy, but now its take on everything in pop culture has us in stitches. Last season the Adult Swim series spoofed everything from Broadway plays to PSAs, and in one episode, all TV programming from the 1970s.
"It's gotten to the point where we don't know what the normal Childrens Hospital is anymore," says creator Rob Corddry, who also plays clown doctor Blake Downs. The best example? "This year we preempt the regularly scheduled episode to present the pilot for the British adaptation of the show." (In that version, Downs is a French mime).

Which rights are included under "women's rights" has varied through time and across cultures. Even today, there is some disagreement about what constitute women's rights. Does a woman have a right to control family size? to equality of treatment in the workplace? to equality of access to military assignments?
Usually, "women's rights" refers to whether women have equality with the rights of men where women and men's capacities are the same. Sometimes, "women's rights" includes protection of women where women are subject to special circumstances (such as maternity leave for child-bearing) or more susceptible to mistreatment (traffic in women, rape).
In more recent history, we can look at specific documents to see what were considered "women's rights" at those points in history. Although the concept of "rights" is itself a product of the Enlightenment era, we can look at various societies in the ancient, classical and medieval worlds, to see how women's actual rights, even if not defined by that term or concept, differed from culture to culture.
United Nations Convention on Rights of Women - 1981
The 1981 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, signed by many United Nations member states (notably not Iran, Somalia, the Vatican City and the United States and a few others), defines discrimination in a way that implies that women's rights are in "political, economic, social, cultural, civil" and other spheres.
Any distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women, irrespective of their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field.
The Declaration specifically addresses:
- eliminating prejudice in public education
- full political rights to vote and to run for and to serve in public office
- rights to change nationality equal to men's rights
- marriage and divorce rights to be equal to men's, and elimination of child marriage
- equality in criminal punishment
- traffic in women, including exploiting prostitutes
- employment rights, including non-discrimination in access to jobs, equal pay, and paid maternity leave
NOW Statement of Purpose - 1966
The 1966 Statement of Purpose created on the formation of the National Organization for Women (NOW) summarizes key women's rights issues of that time. Women's rights addressed in that document were based on the idea of equality as an opportunity for women to "develop their fullest human potentials" and to put women into the "mainstream of American political, economic and social life." Women's rights issues identified included those in these areas:
- employment and economics
- education
- family, including marriage and divorce laws and home responsibilities
- political participation
- images of women in culture and social practice
- opposition to "protectiveness" in work, school, church and so on, as limiting women's rights
- racial justice because of the "double discrimination" experienced by women of color
Marriage Protest - 1855
In their 1855 marriage ceremony, women's rights advocates Lucy Stone and Henry Blackwell specifically refused to give assent to laws which interfered in rights of married women in particular, including:
- control over the wife's very person and her very legal existence as a person
- custody of children
- inheritance and ownership of real estate
- the right to her own wages
- equal rights to inherit a survivor's portion upon death of one of the spouses
- choice of a place of residence
- ability to make contracts including wills and the ability to sue in court in her own name
- cchoosing her own name
Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention - 1848
In 1848, the first known women's rights convention in the world declared "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal...." and in closing, "we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States."
Areas of rights that were addressed in the "Declaration of Sentiments" were:
- whether women had a voice in making laws that they were subject to, including whether women could vote
- whether married women had any legal existence
- whether women had property rights, including the right to income she herself earned
- whether women could freely choose to end a marriage
- whether women had custody rights over children after a divorce or separation
- whether women had access to many professions, including theology, medicine and law
- whether women had access to higher education
- whether women had a voice in the Church, including whether women could be ministers or in other ways publicly participate
- whether moral codes (about sexual choices) were the same for women as for men
In arguing to include the right to vote in that Declaration -- the one issue that was most uncertain to be included in the document -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton urged the right to vote as a path to gain "Equality of Rights." (Elizabeth Cady Stanton: "We Now Demand Our Right to Vote")
18th Century Calls for Women's Rights
In the century or so before that declaration, a few had written about women's rights. Abigail Adams asked her husband in a letter to "Remember the Ladies," specifically mentioning disparities in women's and men's education.Hannah Moore, Mary Wollstonecraft and Judith Sargent Murray focused especially on women's right to an adequate education. Just the fact of their writing implied an advocacy for women's voices having an impact on social, religious, moral and political decisions. Mary Wollstonecraft called in her 1791-92 A Vindication of the Rights of Woman for recognition of both women and men as creatures of emotion and reason, and for such women's rights as (Mary Wollstonecraft - What Rights?)
- the right to be educated (and a duty to educate her own children)
- equal partnership between man and woman in marriage
- control over family size
- free speech, including to reveal the father of her children
- equality of children born out of marriage to those who were born within marriage, which implied an equal right of women to sexual relationships outside of marriage
Ancient, Classical and Medieval World
In the ancient, classical and medieval world, women's rights differed somewhat from culture to culture. Some of these differences were:
- whether women were considered full citizens, or were considered the equivalent of slaves or minors under the authority of husbands or fathers

Heart disease is the number one killer of women! If you're a woman, you may not believe you're as vulnerable to a heart attack as men–but you are. Women account for nearly half of all heart attack deaths. Heart disease is the number one killer of both women and men.
Women are less likely than men to believe they're having a heart attack and more likely to delay in seeking emergency treatment. Furthermore, diagnosing heart attacks can be more difficult in women than men because women tend to have less "typical" symptoms. Women are more likely than men to experience some of the less common symptoms, such as shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.
The Hope Heart Institute provides a free community education series for the family titled Women Take Heart™. The mission of Women Take Heart™ is to create awareness and provide tools for healthier living. Women Take Heart™ features free health screenings, information, and a series of interactive talks and activities centered on stress reduction, nutrition, movement, heart physiology and more! Women are encouraged to learn all they can about preventing heart attacks and getting the earliest possible treatment if they experience any symptoms of a heart attack or heart disease.
The Hope's Women Take Heart™ program is customizable to meet the specific needs of your community. We have brought this program to such varied venues as The African American Academy, Evergreen Hospital, Mission Creek, and the Washington Correctional Center for Women, and would be happy to talk to you about how we can customized a Women Take Heart program to your needs.

Sometimes a movie just doesn't work out, no matter how strong the ingredients. Here we have a film with a first rate cast, tackling some strong subject matter, but "The Whistleblower" just didn't seem to work out. The film premiered at TIFF last year to a muted response and when we caught up with it at IFFBoston, we found the film to feature strong performances but let down by its one dimensional approach. And the new trailer for the film kind of bears that out.
Playing like a re-tooled version of "The Constant Gardener," the film finds Rachel Weisz playing Kathryn Bolkovac a Nebraska cop who gets drawn in by an investigation into the seedy world of international sexual slavery that goes to the highest levels of international government. Co-starring David Strathairn, Monica Bellucci and Vanessa Redgrave it seems like it should be a slam dunk, no-brainer of a topical, interesting drama but it plays like a pretty rote walk through this kind of material. The film marks the feature debut of Larysa Kondracki who wrote the film with Eilis Kirwan. Again, everyone looks to be in top form but the overly familiar feel of the look and feel of the film is a disappointment.
"The Whistleblower" will open on August 5th. Check out the synopsis and trailer below (or in HD at Apple).
Inspired by actual events, Kathy (Academy Award(R) winner Rachel Weisz) is an American police officer who takes a job working as a peacekeeper in post-war Bosnia. Her expectations of helping to rebuild a devastated country are dashed when she uncovers a dangerous reality of corruption, cover-up and intrigue amid a world of private contractors and multinational diplomatic doubletalk. Directed by first time filmmaker Larysa Kondracki, the film also stars Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave, Monica Bellucci and Academy Award nominee David Strathairn.

I agree, loved it!!

Re-tooled version of "The Constant Gardener"? Excuse me but did we even see the same film? This movie and "The Constant Gardener" could not be any different from each other. I saw this film at the River Run International Film and its brutal, very brutal. My husband and i had to look away from the screen at certain points because of how brutal it got in some scenes.
"The Whistleblower" was a very good movie. A bit disturbing but very good none the less. Rachel Weisz was outstanding and the rest of the cast follow sute.

Sorry you guys had a problem with it but I enjoyed it. Rachel Weisz give a top notch performance and the movie itself gives a great message.

If reports out of Mexico are to be believed, Philadelphia Union forward Carlos Ruiz may be heading back to Puebla FC when the summer transfer window opens on July 15. The Brotherly Game, SB Nation's Union blog, translated the report this way:
"Although [Puebla's] sporting director Jesus Lopez Chargoy would only say that new reinforcements would be revealed at the draft, because he wants to protect his interests from promoters, it is known from a good source that Carlos "El Pescadito" Ruiz will return to play with La Franja (Puebla)."
Ruiz has scored three goals in 10 games, but has also been a lightning rod for criticism among the Union fanbase. The team did not score as many as two goals in a match until their 10th match of the season and Ruiz was largely blamed for the offense's struggles.
He has missed each of the Union's last three games and has been with the Guatemala Gold Cup team, which recently secured advancement to the quarterfinals with a 4-0 win over Grenada in which Ruiz scored.

Well I'm 18 and pregnant with twins. I was dating him/co-worker really. I didn't know tht he hd a girlfriend he was separated from at the time. It wasn't found out until I was pregnant for a few weeks... His gf has been harassing me and even wanted to fight me despite me not knowing any of this going into. He had already abandoned me when I told him... So I come to find out he has a child with her and he has a child with two other women. They were 9 6 and 2. He takes care of neither of his two that he isn't with. And he works a small job likely child support doesn't seem like it'll be helpful. I know he won't be involved and know he wants me to abort everyone on his side wants me to abort. And everyone on hmy side like my parents say I should abort... I lost my job nd I feel so aalone at the start I wanted to keep it now I'm forced to face reality idk advice. I am considering abortion...
I would.. Im sorry that you are going thru this. You wouldnt get much help from him. Weigh your pros and cons. ALSO have you thought about adoption? Just asking.
Wow, that sucks. You have to do what is best for you. If you don't think you can support two additional lives and feed two additional mouths, then abortion is probably your best bet. There's always adoption, too. Good luck, and be more careful in the future.
YOU will be the one who has to live with your choice, do not let anyone pressure you into anything you do not want to do.
If you plan on aborting you need to make the decision soon, since you're already like 10 weeks.
I'm sorry the guy is a skeeze.
Good luck with whatever decision you make. Just make sure it is what YOU want.
Honestly, if I was in your shoes, I'd abort. But you have to do what YOU feel is best. Are you prepared to raise two children with no help and no financial support? If so and you want to continue, do so.! It is YOUR body and YOUR choice. Best of luck!
Welcome to BG, the ladies here can be really supportive. I see you found "abortion survivors," it's protected in here so any negative comments will be hidden
I think abortion would be best for you, because taking one by yourself would be hard, but I'd think having twins and having to take care of them on your own would be even more hard on you.
Plus, that's double they diapers, clothes, food, ect. If you wouldn't be able to get a good enough paying job then your best option would to probably be abortion. It'll be soooo much more stress on you too.
Good luck with whatever you choose. Think of what would be best for the babies.
Quoting Link:" I would.. Im sorry that you are going thru this. You wouldnt get much help from him. Weigh your pros and cons. ALSO have you thought about adoption? Just asking. "
Exactly what I would suggest... weigh your options... and think about adoption... there are so many people in this world that would love to have two beautiful babies :) good luck sweety hope you figure things out! so sorry you have to go through this!
You def have to sit down and figure out what the best option or YOU is. Sorry you are going through this, good luck. *hugs*
How about adoption?
ultimately it's your choice alone and you're the one who has to be able to feel confident about your decision. If there's even a doubt in your mind then I would wait on it since it would be pretty final and regret can be hard to live with, especially if you feel others coerced you into it.
I have had an abortion and if you need someone to talk to (if you do choose to abort) feel free to message me any time dear.
I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide to do.
I'm sorry you're in such a tough position right now. I wish you the best luck with whatever decision you make.
To those that mentioned adoption, I am sure that the idea has been brought up. Adoption isn't some secret.
Best of luck OP <3
Sorry you're going through this. That sounds so hard. Only you can decide if abortion is right for you. I will say though, if I were in your situation, I probably would abort.

It is a basic fact of the moral universe that young girls and boys should not be sold for sexual exploitation. However, every day in America, minors are manipulated, coerced, and forced into sex for money in the United States.
"How can there be a march and I'm not there?" This was the question that came from my mother, a feisty but proper Southern lady, when I told her I was headed downtown to see Occupy Wall Street for myself.
This week we celebrate the announcement that New York and Connecticut Methodist congregations are standing up for marriage equality, and we join the Spirit Day for LGBTQ dignity on Thursday Oct. 20.
We are seeing something emerge — a grassroots campaign has caught fire, turning out thousands of people, young and old, to create a free democratic space called Liberty Square on Wall Street.
One of my earliest memories is of a tornado roaring through my neighborhood in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I was less than four years old, but I vividly remember sitting in the linen closet cradling my infant brother, as I heard the enormous roar of wind and listened to the trees in our yard be torn from the ground like giant toothpicks and tossed on top of our house.
On Wednesday night, I watched in horror and shame as my home state of Georgia killed one of its citizens because he had been unable to "prove his innocence" before the final sands of legal process dropped away.

LIBERTY, Mo. (AP) - Authorities say a northeast Kansas man is dead after using his eyeglasses to cut his throat while jailed in western Missouri.
The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/Tyx4O1) reported that Eugene A. Hilliard was unresponsive when a deputy found him Saturday morning at the Clay County Detention Center. Sheriff Bob Boydston says the 46-year-old Ottawa, Kan., man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hilliard is suspected of breaking a portion of his eyeglasses. The initial report is that he created a sharp edge by rubbing the glasses on the concrete wall or floor.
Hilliard had been in the detention center since Tuesday. He was moved to a segregated cell after other inmates learned he was being held on first-degree statutory sodomy charges.
Boydston says Hilliard showed no signs of depression.

I've heard a lot of Cyclone Nation complain that by playing our yearly game against KSU in Arrowhead, we throw out any chance at maintaining a home field advantage. I don't disagree, and in the upcoming years, every win that gets us closer to the magic number of six is going to be crucial. However, I think that this game is going to be very important looking into a very unclear conference future.
Here's the deal.
This off-season very nearly ended up relegating us to the MAC both as a football team and as a fanbase. When Texas and Nebraska were splintering the Big XII apart like a 2 by 4 at Mitch Ellis' house, several sources had ISU being lumped in with Kansas, Mizzou, and Kansas State in a mass move to the Big East. And as you may or may not have noticed, the Big XII only survived because Texas was appeased, and we all know how well appeasement keeps these problems from re-surfacing.
Fun Fact: Under this analogy, Mack Brown is Hitler.
So let's assume that our conference may in fact not last forever. If the Big XII does end up dissolving within the next five years, there is a good chance that wherever we go, there is a very good chance we will end up in a conference with Kansas State. Fostering a budding rivalry KSU means that no matter where we go, we will have someone to hate.
And really, KSU has a lot in common with ISU. Talent-wise, we match up pretty well year in and year out. (Our all-time record against KSU is 49-40-4) We are both agricultural/engineering schools based in the center of midwestern states that most people living on the coasts couldn't find on a map. We both have an in-state "Big Brother" who seems to constantly overshadow our athletic achievements. (Although it tends to be basketball with KSU.), And we were both part of the original Big 8, so there is a history there.
Yeah, I know, it's a pain in the ass to have to drive down to Kansas City and I know it's hard to take a team wearing purple seriously. But look at our other rivalries. Missouri was practically begging the Big 10 to take them out of the Big XII. If the Big Ten goes to 9 conference games, Iowa could find a way to get out of the annual Iowa-ISU game. Nebraska is running for the Big Ten next year. But you know what? We'll always have Kansas State.
If we are to move forward as a team and be taken seriously in Division 1 football, we need to win some high-profile games. A yearly game at Arrowhead Stadium, which is always likely to be televised, helps us do exactly that. And Kansas State is a team that we should be able to play close and get some "gutsy" wins against. So lets get out to KC and fill up Arrowhead. And maybe this year we can even make our Extra Points.
Speaking from experience, get someone else to drive and pitch in for gas. Because as soon as you hit the Missouri border, everyone who isn't driving can crack a beer thanks to their state's bizarre open container laws. Makes that drive go a LOT faster.

Cleveland (WOIO) - Win streaks are great. They give a team confidence, hopefully gain ground within the division, and excite the fans. And the Indians have have a couple of nice streaks already this season, including a 6-game run back in late April. But just as impressive, and maybe more important, are the wins that prevent a streak, in the other direction.
We all remember the Tribe's fatal slide in the second half of last season. This is not your 2012 team. Already, under Terry Francona, they've shown the ability to heal the wound before it even begins to bleed. A week ago, they dropped the first one in Detroit, then bounced right back to take the final two. And on Wednesday, less than 18 hours after falling to the Phillies, they lit up the board again, completing their season series win over Philadelphia with a 10-4 beatdown.
That is the sign of a good team. A team that will be around all summer. In Philly, it was Cory Kluber, keeping the Phillies' bats quiet until the Tribe broke out their own. Next time, will be someone else. That is simply how the 2013 Indians are built...for the long haul. Their early resiliency already proves that.

I must say that I enjoyed this DVD/2CD live a lot. So let me just say what I did NOT like about it and why I did not give 5 stars:
- First of all, and mostly important, I was expecting a slightly better sound. OK… it is still an amazing production. The vocals (4 singers!!!) sound fabulous and the bass and drums are really POUNDING! But there are many times where the guitars sound rather "weak" and further back in the mix. This lacks the power a metal sound should have. With a little more attention in the guitars, the whole thing would have sounded 10 times better. But maybe this is just my personal opinion.
- SONG TITLES! Come on guys… who designed the back cover of this DVD? Black background with dark grey letters??? Please have mercy… nobody can read a thing there!!!
- The audience was not so warm.
- This is just personal, but I was unpleasantly surprised to see that my favourite Therion song ("Typhon") not included. Pitty!
Other than these, the live is absolutely amazing. Fantastic production and performance by the group. Watching an 8 people band playing their best, and 4 top singers (2 males, 2 females) singing with such art and power… Truly unique!!!
You will enjoy this even if you are not a Therion fan.

1st round- Milliner CB Alabama
2nd round - Eric Reid safety LSU / Barrett Jones OL Alabama
3rd round - Kenjon Barner RB Oregon
5th round - Tyrann Mathieu CB LSU
6th/7th round - best available
This mock is based what i believe are biggest needs are. I see alot of early mocks as us taking a DE 5th overall, but do believe that we can grab a late round pick and mold them into a cliff avril type player.
My first round pick of Milliner is based on a solid need for a corner, while hes not a Patrick Peterson IMO he is a instant upgrade to Jonte Green and Bill Bentley. I would be satisfied with this pick from #5 -#10 if we would find a trade partner to trade back, but wouldn't go back that much farther if i wanted Milliner.
2nd Round would be a toss up to which every player is available. Jones could take over for Dom since he has played pretty much every position on the O-line. Eric Reid is one of the highest rated Safety's with good ball/ tackling skills.
3rd round pick of Kenjon Barner is purely a replacement for Best who's career is probably over. He may be a touch slower then previous teammate lamicheal James but is a more balanced overall runner with more strength. Check him out on the Senior Bowl practices on NFL Network nothing but good things i see so he may not be here in the 3rd round.
So for my 5th round pick i went with Tyrann Mathieu, Sure there is the drug problem and i was a HUGE fan of use taking Jenoris Jenkins last year, Mayhew said he wants play makers on defense, and the Honey badger will have to explain himself for his dismissal from LSU to all the NFL teams. Granted he got burned as a cb at times, hes still a play maker and wouldn't be such a risk in the 5th round.
Its not perfect and understand there's holes in the draft and i have grown to realize just when we think the Lions will do one thing they do the other. i wouldn't complain about this draft because i feel that it fills 5 holes, with the only 'need" left at DE which you can coach up whats on the roster now ie.... Lo jack, Willie Young , Ronnel Lewis thanks for reading!

Jimmy Graham went off with an apparent head injury in the New Orleans Saints' first drive, but was cleared to return to the game. His team is happy he did, as he's just pulled them back into a game that was on the verge of getting out of hand with an acrobatic touchdown catch. The Saints are now trailing by a score of 17-7, and are very much back in the game.
SI.com: Saints-49ers live boxscore
The drive featured what was almost the Saints' fourth turnover of the game. Donte Whitner, who is having a monster game, delivered a big hit on Darren Sproles and forced what was called a fumble on the field. Sean Payton challenged and won, with the official ruling that Sproles was down by contact. As this screenshot indicates, they made the right call.
Brees was perfect on the drive, going 7-7 passing. The final completion was a 14-yard strike to Graham, and the Saints' tight end displayed some spectacular ups on the play.

According to an article on sportsillustrated.com, the rise of the spread offense, the increasingly pass-happy nature of the NFL, and the success of later-drafted running backs have all led to a decline in the draft stock of running backs across the board. What is an elite running back to do? Easy. Go to Alabama.
I'm not going to repost the whole article. You can read it here: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/don_banks/04/05/nfl-draft-running-backs/index.html?eref=sihp. I will, however, repost a couple of telling excerpts.
As is the case with several other positions, namely at quarterback, the rise of the spread offense in the collegiate ranks has made it more difficult to accurately assess running backs for NFL potential, league sources told me. That has added a level of projection to shopping for runners in the first round, with some rushers putting skills sets on tape that don't always translate to the NFL game.
"A lot of the recent trend has to do with the level of specialization at both the NFL and the college level,'' said former Vikings running back Robert Smith, a 1993 first-round pick who is now a college football analyst for ESPN. "There are so many spread offenses in college that you might not even get a sense for a guy's pass-blocking, because it's a different kind of pass-blocking in the NFL.
"Even how they run the ball is different in the spread, out of so many passing sets instead of closer to the line in a traditional pro-set offense. It makes it difficult to project how those guys will transition into the league. There just aren't a whole lot of guys like Mark Ingram coming out of the college game, guys who have run and blocked out of a pro-set formation.'' [emphasis added.]
"I know this much, when you watch Ingram's sophomore tape, he was a beast,'' the NFL club personnel man said. "But he was hurt a little bit last season. It's conceivable that some teams may like [Illinois running back Mikel] Leshoure over Ingram, but we don't have it that way. If you take Ingram, and you get the runner he was in 2009, you might be getting a real value. Because you've seen him do it and know what you're getting.'' [emphasis added.]

Distinctive Graphic Treatments
Units' marks or logos not conforming with guidelines on page 59 will no longer be supported, though distinctive graphic treatments may be developed within a family of publications to represent specific departments or programs - i.e., Manifest or the Portfolio Center.
The posters below illustrate how certain departments, and particularly, reoccurring events have a family look that is carried through all pieces pertaining to the department or event. For example the photography department materials consist of large images with colors used to complement the image. typography style is the same for each piece in the family of materials. The wordmark is prominent on each piece and the disc is positioned where it has space surrounding it.
These are posters for the english department's poetry reading events. The posters utilize variations of the same design style and elements, again creating a family look for the department.

Movie News 2013
UPDATED: 28th June 2013
Did you know that the most expensive movie to be created ever is Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds's End? The estimated cost to produce it was $300.000.000! A lot of people watch this movie!
Did you know that the most expensive movie flop in the history is Cutthroat Island (from 1995), total cost was $115.000.000 but it only earned back around $18.500.000! Well we think this movie will soon take the second place now when Brad Pitt's movie World War Z has been released since they have already spent over $200.000.000 just to re-write and re-shoot the FINAL ACT! Talk about wasting money! I'm still gonna watch this movie online though ;)
Did you know that the movie Paranormal Activity only cost $15.000 to create but generated an huge $197.000.000 of gross revenue! Talk about good investment! I don't like horror movies so I haven't seen any of them (there are five)
Big news! It has just been announced that in June 2015 the first movie in a new TERMINATOR trilogy will be released! This is specially awesome since Arnold Schwarzenegger will have a part in it!

ASHBURN, Va. -- Donte Stallworth was cut Monday by the Washington Redskins, thwarting the veteran receiver's comeback.
Stallworth was hindered through most of training camp by a hamstring injury. He caught two passes for 33 yards in preseason games.
"You could see with the setback with his hamstring, he just wasn't ready," coach Mike Shanahan said.
The 32-year-old player signed with the Redskins in June, three months after he was seriously burned in a hot air balloon accident in Florida. He faced a tough challenge making a roster that already includes Pierre Garcon, Joshua Morgan, Santana Moss and Leonard Hankerson.
Stallworth has played for six teams over 10 NFL seasons. He missed the 2009 season when he was suspended by the NFL after pleading guilty to killing a pedestrian while driving drunk. He appeared in only one game last year with the New England Patriots before an ankle injury ended his season.
"I thought in his best interest, since I knew he wasn't going to be on the football team, was to tell him early," Shanahan said. "Give him a chance, possibly, to get with another football team."
The Redskins also waived linebacker Ricky Elmore, fullback Eric Kettani, kicker John Potter, receiver Chip Reeves and linebacker Quan Sturdivant.
Cornerback and punt returner Richard Crawford, who damaged three ligaments in his left knee in Saturday's preseason game, and linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough (right shoulder) were waived with injury designations. Shanahan said Monday that Crawford will require nine months of recovery.
Rookie safety Phillip Thomas (left foot) and linebacker Keenan Robinson (left shoulder) were placed on injured reserve.
The Redskins have three more cuts to announce before Tuesday's deadline to reduce the roster to 75. They are expected to be tackle Jeremy Trueblood, linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy and offensive lineman Jacolby Ashworth. None was at Monday's practice.
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Brothers Big Sisters of Halton just wrapped up a very successful year in its
newest program, Adventure Canada Club.
Although initially
piloted in three schools, demand blossomed and last year the program expanded
into nine area schools. According to Program Director, Sita Jayaraman,
"We have been overwhelmed by the success of the program. We originally
had hoped to provide service for 40 children. Instead, last year we were
able to reach 93 children through the ACC program. Next year, the program
will grow again and move into 13 schools".
Parents have had
nothing but glowing reviews including, "their child felt part of something at
the school and not left on the outside". One mother said of her very shy
daughter, "She told me she had fun and she felt not so shy anymore about being
new to Canada". Two families even met through the program. Now they
see each other outside of school as their children connected through the
At Rotherglen school, the class of 8C took an interest in the Go Girls! Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds program.
After learning about the program, the grade 8 class put together a short movie about Go Girls! to present to the REACH (Rotherglen Educating for Advocacy and Creating Hope) Foundation in hopes of receiving funds for the program. The movie together with a very convincing presentation, the REACH Foundation granted the Go Girls! program $5000!!!
But this wasn't enough for the class of 8C. These grade 8's decided to continue fundraising by selling lollipops at the school, and raised just over $1000! Thanks to Rotherglen School, the REACH Foundation and the class of 8C for granting the Go Girls! program over $6000!!!

Josh & Matt
Josh (LB) and Matt (BB) have been matched since February 2010 and continue to get together on a weekly basis.
In the past 4 years they have shared lots of fun experiences such as playing dodge-ball, football, going to the movies with Josh's girlfriend and Matt's wife, honing their golfing skills and engaging in friendly competition at Playdium.
Regardless of what they are doing there is always food involved and the topic of football is always discussed. Matt tries to make it out to Josh's football games weekly and when he misses a game, Josh has someone tape him playing and they watch it together afterwards to talk technique.Matt is Josh's number one fan and even wears a jersey with Josh's last name on it at his games.
Josh joins Matt and his family at Christmastime and other special holidays and has even tried helping Matt with renovations around the house. They are so much more than a Big and Little Brother match, they are true friends!

|Song lyrics
Yo, ain't no better man for this hype track
Just the veteran taking the mic back
David Letterman even said he like that track man
Even though he ain't a rap fan
Black radio, they won't play though
Ever since "Summertime" they ain't liked none of mine
Even though the fans went out & bought enough
I guess they think Will ain't hard enough
Maybe I should just have a shoot out
Run up in the bank, bustin', grabbin' all the loot out
Whoop somebody ass, taking my boot out
Right on TV so ya'll can see me
Just ignorant, attacking, actin' rough
I mean, then will I be black enough
Oh wait maybe I'll jack a truck
Full of cigarettes, guns & drugs & stuff
[chorus 2x]
Get back
I wish I would of made that
Lean back
I wish I would of made that
I wish I woulda told the girls to 'drop it like it hot'
Summer, Summer, Summertime
Seem like all I got
I always envied how ya'll rock wit Dre & the Chronic
The way that Tupac, Biggie, 50 and Jigga got it
A lot like L.L., Chuck D, Slick & Dougie
I think ya'll love me, but ya'll place other rappers above me
& I don't know if you feel my flow
& be at my show & you'll see where I should go
On the charts of rhyme arts & thoughts in rap form
Damnit, I expanded the platform
Damnit, this Cat's on a rap song
Yeah, it ain't no braids or plats on
Ain't on stage wit no gats on
You know I'm afraid, getting' my act on
It might have stunted my growth
But I wanted them both
& I hope that it would be less tougher
You do two things & then they both gonna suffer
I chose to act & it broke my heart not to rap
Prodigal son, clever, better than ever, back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got, I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
Yo, do you see that lil' bop in my step
Do you see the little drop to the left, huh, yo...
Baseball cap, Timbs when I walk
Do you see that lil' grin when I talk, huh, yo
Do you see me sorta glide when I slide
See lean to the side in my ride, huh, yo...
Do you see it's no ice on my wrist
Fish still bite just like this... right, right
Do you know what it mean when you see a dude's chick on TV gleamin', huh?
Know what it mean to be on the scene & in the audience "Ali", beamin', yo!
I must have a 'S' on my chest, I recovered from the Wild, Wild West, yes!
Yo, I been up the creek without a paddle
Now I'm back on the saddle,
I got my swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
All you see that you see when you seeing me
You ain't seeing all to be seen
'Cause there's more for you to see
Than when you see me on the scene in my media machine
I mean madness, sickness, sadness, swaggerless back in the day
Fat, ugly chicks in New York on the radio, saying I'm gay
I had a bonafide downside frown with the swagga not around in my life
Bank account found minimal amounts when countin' cause of my now ex-wife
I had the boar-thick wall & all that, endure pitfalls & all that, fallin'
callin' for help
With no call back, where was ya'll at, gimme the ball back
I got my swagga back

Cameron Kunzelman is right to say that:
'there's a desire to see Mountain as profound. It wants to cultivate that, with its poetry, with its random objects, with its sometimes-soaring spouts of music. I'll come out and say it: There's nothing special about this mountain. It is like every other mountain, and if we wanted, we could try to mine that normality for profundity.'
It's definitely a game that both invites reading whilst resisting interpretation at the same time. No matter how much we try and explore Mountain, either by zooming out into space or by flipping the mountain to see its underside, it always calls us back to that view of the rotating giant, turning endlessly through the day and weather cycles; no matter how hard we try and find something meaningful within the game that answers some unasked question, we are unanswered. Sure, we can zoom out into space if we really want to, but what does the space mean? What does it tell us about the mountain? Nothing, of course. Its purpose is to decontextualise; it's seriously just a mountain floating in space. So we abandon the search for profundity. The game's musical flourishes and occasional pieces of on-screen text are fleeting and transient, but the mountain itself is constant.

Towers getting put together
I got to visit the boatyard at American Custom Yachts recently and got to check out the premises and the new builds they have going. The yard was very busy with a 67 and 68 being built as well as lots of cool boats undergoing refits or getting new paint jobs. I also got to pick up my new poling platform for my skiff thanks to Tim Bausch at Bausch American Towers. The highlight of the day, however, was seeing Dominic LaCombe in his bad ass Chevy!

In a fight featuring two middleweight grappling specialists, the fight was a standup affair through most of the bout. But one fight after being knocked out by Nate Marquardt, Maia looked much improved in his striking, outlanding Miller throughout.
For most of the first two rounds, Maia outlanded Miller in exchanges, though he never had Miller in any real trouble. The third round became the expected grappling affair, and again Maia took control, dragging Miller to the ground and controlling him for much of the round. Miller, who recently earned his Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, was able to defend against the world-class grappler and lasted out the round.
The judges scored the bout for Maia, 30-27, 29-28, 29-28.
"I came here to show that I can do standup," said Maia, who improved to 12-1with the win. "I want to fight for the title, so I have to have standup. My boxing is not the best but I can improve."
Miller fell to 11-3 with one no contest with the loss.
