"R&B Divas" recap (3.4): Suck it up and take a dump
LaTavia decides that to start this process of building herself back up again, she has to begin with talking to her mom about their past. They sit down together and fold baby clothes. LaTavia, clearly uncomfortable, explains what happened at the acting class, and then gets to the heart of it. She says she felt unprotected as a kid because her mother didn't stand up for her. Her mom responds by saying that at the time, she felt like LaTavia was manipulating her. Because that stuff was something she saw on TV, not something that could actually happen in her own home. From an outsider's view, this sounds awful, of course. But it's also an honest explanation of how denial works, and denial can be a powerful drug.
This whole conversation between LaTavia and her mother seems full of healthy, but painful honesty: they're vulnerable and regretful, but not bitter. And when LaTavia's mom says, "I am so sorry," not once, but twice, she says it so genuinely. And when LaTavia says that she doesn't blame her, she sounds genuine, too. Because here's the thing: there really is only one person who's to blame. And he's not in the room.
Keke, meanwhile, has convinced Lorna to go to therapy. They go to a session together, and it seems to go well. Unlike when Syleena tried to take her resistant mom to therapy, Lorna opens up right away. After talking for just a little while, she says she feels better, and both she and Keke later agree that it was productive and they should continue.
They discuss it in Keke's kitchen, with Keke in an amazing pair of full on pajamas. After a little cry and a hug, Keke ends out the conversation the way she ends out every conversation when she's feeling good: with a lot of farts. I think this is actually the first Keke Fart Session of Season Three! It's impressive that it took this long, really. Is it weird to say I've sort of missed them?
We finish out the episode with Meelah's big performance at Tiffany's charity event, her first solo performance in a long ass time. She's understandably nervous, especially when, GUESS WHAT, she and her manager show up for rehearsal and the sound system is shitty. If R&B Divas ever needs a tagline, it should read "R&B Divas Atlanta: CURSE OF THE MICS!" And even though it's obvious to everyone that the sound is shitty, there ain't nothin' anyone can do about it. So instead, Meelah focuses on the positive, like the fact that almost all the divas, with the exception of Angie, have come out to support her–even Mo, who's still recovering from surgery! That's some sisters in song, y'all. Meelah gives them her gratitude, explaining that she doesn't think she's ever had support from other female artists in her career–like, ever.
And then it's showtime! And the crowd and all the divas are up and singing along to the 702 hits, and even though Meelah is definitely nervous, she seems to be having a good time, and she sounds…okay? I don't know. I don't think she sounds bad. I think she sounds okay. But, it's her first concert in a long time, and clearly she is committed to working her voice back up. I'm excited to see how she progresses with the divas.
What were your thoughts on this episode–on Mo's sucking up, and Meelah and LaTavia's dumping out?

Film review: 'Up in the Air'
Date: January 6, 2010
by: Pam Nadon | Film Critic
He writes, he directs, he produces, he's a human rights activist and he acts. The "he" is George Clooney, and he's the best thing about the movie experience since popcorn. His impeccable performance in the new film "Up in the Air" has "Oscar" written all over it and, boy, does he deserve it.
Clooney plays Ryan Bingham — corporate axe man, cleaner, terminator — take your pick. He's paid to fire dedicated employees by bosses who don't have the stomach for it. Ironically, Bingham loves his job and everything that goes with it, especially flying. His mantra is: "To know me is to fly with me." His goal in life: to amass 10 million frequent-flyer miles.
And that's what's wrong with Bingham. He's convinced that he has no emotional needs. But that perfect world comes crashing down when his boss (Jason Bateman, one of the best cheesy sleaze actors in the business, i.e."State of Play") hires Natalie ("Twilight's"Anna Kendrick). Young, fresh and a bottom-liner, she's come up with a more efficient way to fire employees via webcam teleconferences. Bingham sees the writing on the wall. He'll be grounded. No more commitment-free king-of-the-road. Worst of all, he'll be forced to make connections with human beings rather than in airports.
Jason Reitman writes and directs this brilliant piece of filmmaking, hitting his third home run in as many times at bat ("Thank You For Smoking" and "Juno"). The cunningly clever script is perfectly paired with an amazing cast. Vera Farmiga ("The Departed") showcases her immense yet subtle talent as Clooney's love interest, their chemistry reminiscent of that between Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. One of my favorite supporting actors, J.K. Simmons ("Burn After Reading" and "Juno"), has a small role as an employee being fired. It's so well executed that he manages to steal the scene from Clooney, which is not an easy task.
Reitman actually hired ordinary people who had been laid off to work in the film. They were asked to re-create their real-life experience on camera and instructed to treat the camera as the person who fired them, reacting accordingly. The impact is gut wrenching. Reitman gives face to the appalling statistics that exist in our country, and it hits home big time.
"Up in the Air" sends a multitude of messages, clear and concise amid the murky waters in which we're treading these days. It also provides its audience with an optimistic treatise on human nature while it thoroughly entertains. Most importantly, the film demonstrates that life is better with company, and everybody needs a co-pilot.

By Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY
BEIJING Within sight of local police and Chinese soldiers, Eric Yue starts the bidding for Olympic diving tickets at 3,500 yuan or $500 each.
The asking price is about $430 more than the actual cost. Given the risk, though, Yue thinks it's worth every yuan.
GOING FOR GOLD BLOG: Latest from Games
PHOTO GALLERY: Olympic moments
THE COUNT: View the medal race by country
Ticket scalping is illegal in China, as is demonstrating for Tibet independence. Yet while the Chinese government has quickly silenced political demonstrations during the Olympics, scalpers continue to operate openly in the shadow of the aquatics center known as the "Water Cube."
Beijing organizers said Monday that the sheer number of ticket dealers operating near the venues has made the enterprise difficult to control.
"We are cracking down on scalpers," Beijing organizing committee spokesman Wang Wei said Monday, adding that police have made more than 100 arrests and have confiscated 340 tickets.
Ticket-related problems have been a concern even before the start of the Olympics. In July, the International Olympic Committee joined the U.S. Olympic Committee in a lawsuit calling for the shutdown of several websites for allegedly failing to deliver event tickets after receiving thousands of dollars in payments from customers around the world.
Shortly after Wang spoke with reporters Monday, the Beijing ticket brokers were out in force along busy Beichen Road.
Yue, 24, who would not provide his hometown in China, said he purchased his tickets on the Internet.
Despite his steep markup, he said the going rate for most tickets is cheaper now than before the Games. As prices have gone down in recent days, Yue said the police presence has only increased.
"It's hard," he said.
A scuffle over tickets startled heavy mid-afternoon sidewalk traffic when two men crashed to the pavement, one man choking the other. The fighting stopped when police stepped in, but the brokering continued.
It was nearly impossible to walk the street without encountering a solicitation. Gymnastic tickets were going for $285 each, up from about $43. Track and field events were being offered for about $357, nearly $300 more than the actual price.
"There is scalping going on all over," said Ian Gray, 40, of Belize, who was waiting to enter the stadium grounds with his own tickets.
Jade Uru, 20, of New Zealand, said he watched one man purchase a ticket for about $114 and then try to sell it to Uru for $100 more.
"It was pretty interesting to watch," he said.

UN: 2013 extreme events due to warming Earth
The head of the U.N. weather agency said Monday that recent extreme weather patterns are "consistent" with human-induced climate change, citing key events that wreaked havoc in Asia, Europe, the U.S. and Pacific region last year.
Associated Press
The head of the U.N. weather agency said Monday that recent extreme weather patterns are "consistent" with human-induced climate change, citing key events that wreaked havoc in Asia, Europe, the U.S. and Pacific region last year.
Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization, said his agency's annual assessment of the global climate shows how dramatically people and lands everywhere felt the impacts of extreme weather such as droughts, heat waves, floods and tropical cyclones.
"Many of the extreme events of 2013 were consistent with what we would expect as a result of human-induced climate change," he said.
The U.N. agency called 2013 the sixth-warmest year on record. Thirteen of the 14 warmest years have occurred in the 21st century.
A rise in sea levels is leading to increasing damage from storm surges and coastal flooding, as demonstrated by Typhoon Haiyan, Jarraud said. The typhoon in November killed at least 6,100 people and caused $13 billion in damage to the Philippines and Vietnam.
Australia, meanwhile, had its hottest year on record and parts of central Asia and central Africa also notched record highs.
Jarraud drew special attention to studies and climate modeling examining Australia's recent heat waves, saying the high temperatures there would have been virtually impossible without the emissions of heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the burning of coal, oil and gas.
He cited other costly weather disasters such as $22 billion damage from central European flooding in June, $10 billion in damage from Typhoon Fitow in China and Japan, and a $10 billion drought in much of China.
Only a few places were cooler than normal. Among them was the central U.S.
Jarraud also cited frigid polar air in parts of Europe and the southeast U.S., and the widest tornado ever observed over rural areas of central Oklahoma, as being among extreme weather events.
There were 41 billion-dollar weather disasters in the world last year, the second highest number behind only 2010, according to insurance firm Aon Benfield, which tracks global disasters.
Jarraud spoke as top climate scientists and representatives from about 100 governments with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change met in Japan to complete their latest report on global warming's impact.

Things are intensifying for 50 Cent as the G-Unit leader has announced plans to shelve his new album and threatened Interscope Records by promising to leak a new Dr. Dre single.
Writing on Twitter, 50 broke down his issues with Interscope.
"Man I'm not releasing a album i can't believe interscope is this f*cked up right now. I apologize to all my fans.," he tweeted July 27th.
"I will work with other artist on there projects but I will not put out another album. They dropped the ball with me one time to many."
"I LOVE DRE but I'm putting his next single psycho out tomorrow at 2:00 #SK"
"Your gonna love it its a big song I just don't think it deserves a great set up sense they can't seem to get it right when it comes to me." (50 Cent's Twitter)
Last week, 50 defended his decision to slowly piece together the new LP.
"I've worked longer on this album than any of my other projects," 50 explained in an interview. "I've had the opportunity to evaluate the things that I created initially, and go back and revamp things and change things around a bi. Both [Eminem] and [Dr.] Dre have had opportunities to critique themselves, when I was always on the shot clock. So this time, I get a chance to really make sure I feel like it's going to be the right music for this time period." (Hit Radio)
Earlier this month, 50 promised to drop his next solo effort in the fall.
"My album should be out in November," 50 promised in an interview. "It's easy. Everybody, they prioritize my projects. When [Interscope Records] don't do things exactly when we hadc ommunication about it being done, I get frustrated. Let me be honest with you. They need that record to sell more than I do. Not necessarily that [it's dark over there], it's just the systems itself unless you feel you're going to make a new artist." (Headkrack)
A few weeks ago, 50 contemplated whether or not he would stay with Interscope Records following his final contractual release.
"I don't know," 50 told MTV News when asked if he would ink back with Interscope once his five-album deal was fulfilled. "It will all be clear in the negotiations following me turning this actual album in. And, of course, the performance and how they actually treat the work will determine whether you still want to stay in that position or not…It's not like you're gonna be able to make a project bigger than the actual project is, but if the songs are right and you have full support and you feel that support, why would you want to go anywhere else? If not, if you don't have that support, why would you want to sign to another system? In the financial state that I'm in, you just do it yourself." (MTV)

A Middle East Mosaic: Fragments of Life, Letters, and Historyby Bernard Lewis
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Since he published his first book in 1950, the now classic Arabs in History, Lewis's stature in his field has grown steadily. Today, he is recognized as the most important scholar of the region in the second half of the twentieth century. In many of his works, Lewis has explored the complicated web of fascination, affection, envy, romanticism, misapprehension, and mistrust that for the past millennium have defined the relationship between the Muslim cultures of the Middle East and the Western descendents of Christendom. In A Middle East Mosaic he takes a unique approach to this theme. Drawing on his encyclopedic knowledge of historical source materials, Lewis has gathered together this excellent collection of writings from each side of the Bosporus: from Shakespeare to T. E. Lawrence, and from Ibn Khaldun to Osama bin Laden. Together, they reveal ? like no book before ? the thorny love affair between these two great cultures. Farley, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:
In times of war and in peace, from the earliest days of the Roman Empire to our own, Westerners have journeyed to the lands of the middle east, bringing back accounts of their adventures and impressions. Yet it was never a one way exchange. From the first Arab embassy to the Vikings in the 9th century to the internet musings of the Taliban, A Middle East Mosaic collects a rich, boisterous literature of cultural exchange.
We see the American Revolution through the eyes of a Moroccan Ambassador and the French Revolution through a series of Imperial Ottoman proclamations. We find surprising portraits of Napoleon ("a brigand chief"), TE Lawrence and Ataturk. We learn what George Washington and Machiavelli through t of Turkish politics and hear Flaubert and Thackeray rail against eastern crime and punishment. We peer into Voltaire's business correspondence and follow the footsteps of Mark Twain, Richard Burton, Gertrude Bell and Ibn Battutta, the Marco Polo of the east. Great discoveries are recorded - an Egyptian Ambassador is introduced to electricity and dismisses the spectacle as "frankish trickery;" another pronounces the invention of a secure mail system most useful for assignations. We enter the harem with a 16th century organ maker and emerge with Ottoman reform.
It was not until the sixteenth century that the first middle eastern rulers entered into diplomatic relations with European rulers, but trade often precede diplomatic relations. Business men from the days of the crusades against Saladin to the oil prospecting of Samuel Cox and his descendents have seen great possibilities in the markets of the middle east. And throughout the centuries we have been united by war. We witness the outbreak of the Crimean war with Karl Marx and enter Egypt with Napoleon. We observe Arab customs with George Patton and visit Baghdad and Cairo with George F. Kennan in the second world war. When Usama bin Ladin rails against "Jews and crusaders" occupying the holy land, he is rehearsing a grievance with a long history.
This symphony of voices, full of wit and wisdom, spite and wonder, suspicion, befuddlement and occasional insight, is ordered and explained by our foremost living historian of the middle east. The fruit of a lifetime of scholarship and erudition, A Middle East Mosaic is a dazzling capstone to a brilliant career. In a spirited reappraisal of western views of the east and eastern views of the west over the last two thousand years, Bernard Lewis gives us a brilliant over-view of 2,000 years of commerce, diplomacy, war and exploration.
This book is a delight, a treasury of stories drawn from letters, diaries and histories, but also from unpublished archives and previously untranslated accounts. Diplomats and interpreters, slaves, soldiers, pilgrims and missionaries, princes and spies, businessmen, doctors and priests all pour forth their stories of the people and events that shaped history. A Middle East Mosaic cannot fail to appeal to anyone with an appetite for history and a curiosity about the vagaries of cultural exchange.
"What a treasure of accounts and documents Bernard Lewis has found for us! This is the kind of book I wish I had had when writing my own chapter on Islam in Wealth and Poverty of Nations. Bernard Lewis is living testimony to the ability of an outsider to know and enter into another culture and illuminate it for the larger public. His opus is remarkable, and his productivity increases with age. A model to the rest of us, what will he give us next?" David Landes, author of The Wealth and Poverty of Nations
"Comparison is the beginning of all serious scholarship, and Bernard Lewis is the greatest scholar of the Middle East in the second half of the 20th century because his knowledge of other regions too — Europe, China, India — gives him a rich basis for comparison with the Arab, Turkish, Persian, and Jewish worlds. No other Middle East expert could have compiled this Collection. Only an authentic renaissance man." Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Arabists
Includes bibliographical reference (p. [442]-451) and index.
About the Author
Bernard Lewis is the author of The Middle East: A Brief History of the last 2,000 Years, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, The Emergence of Modern Turkey, The Muslim Discovery of Europe, and The Arabs in History, among other seminal books in a long and distinguished career. Internationally recognized as one of our century's greatest historians of the middle east, his books have been translated into over twenty languages. A Fellow of the British Academy, a member of the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Institut de France, he is Cleveland E. Dodge Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University and was a long-term member of the Institute for Advanced Study.

Ayotte, Shaheen return money to federal treasury
Republican Kelly Ayotte said she is returning more than one-fifth of her Fiscal 2012 office budget.
She received a budget of $2,974,624 for Fiscal 2012, which ended Sept. 30, 2012, and says she will return $630,785 of it, or 21 percent.
A year ago, Ayotte returned $591,286, or 26 percent, of her Fiscal 2011 budget of $2,254,806.
Democrat Jeanne Shaheen had an identical Fiscal 2012 budget of $2,974,624 and returned $339,330 of it, or 11 percent, to the treasury.
In Fiscal 2011, Shaheen returned $538,156, or 18 percent, of her office's $3,006,407 budget.
In the four fiscal years that have passed since Shaheen took office in 2009, her office has returned a total of $2.06 million, or 18 percent, of her combined office budgets, said her spokesman, Shripal Shah.
Ayotte has returned $1.2 million, or 23 percent of her combined office budgets since she has been in the Senate.
Shaheen said, "We need to be responsible with taxpayer dollars and I believe in leading by example. Families across the country are tightening their belts and Congress ought to do the same with their own budgets."
Ayotte spokesman Liz Johnson said that, according to the Financial Clerk of the Senate, office budgets are determined primarily by each state's population. Geographic proximity to Washington, D.C., is also a factor.
"Senator Ayotte makes careful and thoughtful decisions about personnel and operations," Johnson said. "Our office is also always looking for smaller ways to achieve savings, such as sending e-mail responses to constituents instead of postal mail, whenever appropriate."
The offices' budgets cover the senators' offices in Washington and New Hampshire.
Ayotte has state offices in Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth and Berlin. Johnson said she has 36 staffers -- 21 in Washington and 15 in New Hampshire.
Shaheen has offices in Manchester, Nashua, Dover, Claremont, Keene and Berlin. Shah said she has 41 staffers -- 24 in Washington and 17 in New Hampshire.

Mizzou's Kulas Selected to San Antonio in WNBA Draft
Kulas chosen in third round to become Mizzou's seventh WNBA pick
A third-round draft pick of the WNBA's Washington Mystics in 2004, Unrau played professionally in Luxembourg this past season. She earned Honorable Mention All-America honors in 2004 after back-to-back First Team All-Big 12 nods - MU's first back-to-back all-conference performer since MU Hall of Famer Renee Kelly in 1985-86.
In her final season at MU, she helped the Tigers to their ninth all-time appearance in the NCAA Tournament, and she wrapped her career by finishing in the top 10 in 12 of 16 different statistical categories, including No. 3 on the rebounding list (945).
She served as a captain both for the Tigers in her senior year, and also of the Big 12 All-Star team that represented the United States at the 2003 World University Games in Daegu, South Korea.
A three-time Academic All-Big 12 Conference honoree, Unrau earned a degree in psychology in 2004. She made the Dean's List four straight years at Mizzou, and was a recipient of the Athletic Directors Scholarship Award. A representative to MU's Student Athletic Advisory Board, Unrau was a semifinalist for the Creamland Dairies Collegiate Basketball Award of Excellence.

DETROIT – Michigan state agencies won't immediately recognize hundreds of same-sex marriages that were performed in the hours before an appeals court put on hold a judge's ruling that tossed out a state ban on gay marriage, the governor's office said Sunday.
About 300 couples wed Saturday in four Michigan counties before a federal appeals court placed a stay on a Detroit federal judge's decision overturning the state's 2004 constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
The decision blocks the state's county clerks from issuing new same-sex marriage licenses until the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decides whether to extend the stay. That's expected no sooner than Wednesday.
Gov. Rick Snyder's policy could block newlywed gay couples from applying for adoptions of children and tax benefits available to married couples in Michigan.
Opponents renew health care fight
The Obama administration and its opponents are renewing the Supreme Court battle over President Barack Obama's health care law in a case that pits the religious rights of employers against the rights of women to the birth control of their choice.
Two years after the entire law survived the justices' review by a single vote, the court is hearing arguments Tuesday in a religious challenge from family-owned companies – Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. of East Earl, Pa. – that object to covering certain contraceptives in their health plans as part of the law's preventive care requirement.
5 assumed dead after plane crash
A small plane believed to be carrying five people crashed into a reservoir in southwestern Colorado and authorities say all are feared dead.

A shuttle bus transporting a group back from a birthday party collided with a car and overturned before dawn Sunday along Interstate 95 south of the nation's capital, leaving one person dead and sending 16 others to the hospital, Virginia State Police said.
The driver of a white sedan that collided with the bus did not stop but was arrested later Sunday and charged with one felony count of hit-and-run, state police said.
Police said nine people were ejected from the bus during the wreck.
Spains 1st premier after Franco dies
Adolfo Suarez, Spain's first democratically elected prime minister after decades of right-wing rule under Gen. Francisco Franco, has died at 81.
Suarez died Sunday afternoon in Madrid's Cemtro Clinic hospital, family spokesman Fermin Urbiola said. Suarez had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for a decade.
Suarez was 43 when he was chosen in 1976 by King Juan Carlos to lead the country toward a democratic parliamentary monarchy after Franco's death a year earlier.
He later lost the support of his political party and resigned in 1981. Suarez ran for election in 1982 and lost.

Ronaldo Linked with United Move
There have recently been a number of rumors that have been launched which links C.Ronaldo with his former club Manchester United. C.Ronaldo is believed to have an unhealthy relationship with the owner of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez and that the Portuguese star is interested in making his return to Old Trafford.
Louis van Gaal said that he would love to have C.Ronaldo in his team and that a transfer is actually possible but unlikely as Real Madrid just aren't thinking about selling him.
The Dutch coach of Manchester United, Louis van Gaal said: "It's always a discussion in the papers. I don't think the media will buy Ronaldo. When it is possible, it is what I have always said with Falcao, players like Ronaldo give a lot extra to selection, to the team, but I don't think Real Madrid will sell him."
Cristiano Ronaldo has never been shy in demonstrating his emotions and love towards his former club, Manchester United as it was the first club where he managed to win major trophies including the Premier League and the Champions League pieces of silverware.
"I love Manchester. Everyone knows that I have said it many times. Manchester is in my heart. I left many good friends there, the supporters are amazing and I hope I can come back one day." C.Ronaldo told reporters as he responded to questions concerning his future and the possibility of him making a return to the Premier League.
The Portuguese midfielder has a contract with Real Madrid that runs up until 2018 where he will be earning a salary around €17 million and the Spanish club included a buyout clause for him of €1 billion. All of those reports linking C.Ronaldo with a move away from Real Madrid are nothing but rumors and nothing official as the future of the Portuguese is tightly wrapped around the Spanish club.

Van Gaal Hints At Offer For Maria
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has hinted at a potential offers for Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria, who continues to be linked with a move away from the Spanish club. The Argentine was one of the best players for Madrid last season, as they won the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. It was a historic campaign for the club because it was the 10th European trophy. However, it is highly expected that di Maria may be sold in order to raise money. Madrid recently brought in Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez for close to £90 million.
It would have a severe dent on the club's ability to meet the financial fair play regulations set by UEFA if they do not sell a couple of players to neutralise this figure. As one of the valuable players in the team, Madrid are reportedly prepared to sell di Maria. French giants Paris St Germain are also thought to be interested in the player, but were recently ruled themselves out of contention citing the transfer fees demanded by Madrid. The Spanish club valuable player in excess of £ 50 million, but because PSG recently brought in Chelsea defender David Luiz for a similar figure, they are unable to sign him.
Van Gaal says that United will be interested in a player like di Maria, as they continue rebuilding the team after a disappointing season.
"It is a strategy of Manchester United to do that. At this moment, we have five No.9s and four No.10s – and we don't have wingers to give us attacking width. Or, I should say, we don't have wingers of the highest level, like Ronaldo or Di Maria or somebody like that. So, I have to play in another way – and you have seen that already. I only buy when I think we need to buy – in the position that is necessary," said Van Gaal.

Herrera Gets Contract Extension
Mexico have extended the contract of coach Miguel Herrera after he was extremely impressive in helping the team almost reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup 2014. Mexico barely managed to make it into the World Cup after a very poor qualifying campaign. The arrival of Herrera to the national team manager role brought about a seachange in the fortunes, as they dominated the play-offs and reached the finals. Despite being in the group containing Brazil and Croatia, Mexico managed to qualify for the last 16 round.
They came up against a very good Netherlands team, but the brilliant tactics from Herrera almost resulted in a shock victory for the American team. It was only because of controversial refereeing decisions that Netherlands reached the quarter-finals at the expense of Mexico. It seems that the Mexican football Federation have been extremely happy with the work of Herrera that they have decided to offer a four-year extension to his current contract. Herrera will now be charge of the national team until the Russian World Cup in 2018.
Mexican soccer Federation president Justino Compean revealed that the negotiations with Herrera have been going on for the last few days. He expects an agreement to be reached soon because the understanding is that the manager calls wants to extend his stay.
"We're renewing Miguel Herrera's contract so he stays as coach of the national team for Russia 2018. We're going with him and hopefully he lasts. His work was extraordinary (in Brazil). We're pleased because in the short time he had to work, he did it very well, achieving very good results in the style of play and in what the national team transmitted. He's in favor of continuing and us too," said Compean. Mexico suffered only one defeat at the World Cup 2014.

Lampard named England vice-captain
England manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard as the deputy to Steven Gerrard for the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil next month.
The England hero has been the vice captain for the team on a consistent basis, taking on the role of skipper when the captain goes off or is not selected in the starting eleven and he will fulfill that role once again in what could be his last major tournament at international level.
And Hodgson believes Lampard holds a key to England and their chances of progression as they line up against former world champions Italy and Uruguay along with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in a difficult group in the FIFA World Cup 2014.
The England boss said that Lampard has been vice captain for a long time and he has stepped up and done a great job in the absence of Steven Gerrard as well. He added that he always considered the Chelsea man to be a key member of the 23 man squad because of his experience and the kind of play he brings to the team.
Hodgson said that he also brings other qualities in terms of his qualities and character to the team as well.
Lampard has won three Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League and four FA Cups during his time at Chelsea and he is also the club's record goal scorer with over 200 goals from midfield but is out of contract at the Stamford Bridge club this summer.
Although he has played a much reduced role for Chelsea this season, he was still one of the automatic choices for the big games and more often than not, he has delivered for his team and Hodgson will be hoping for much of the same in the FIFA World Cup 2014.

Faculty profile: Dr. Eric Pelren, Wildlife Society adviser
Dr. Eric Pelren is an intelligent and down-to-earth outdoorsman. His students adore him with a passion.
"Dr. Pelren enjoys teaching the subjects about wildlife. He has provided advice about how to get my career started," said James Davis, a Natural Resources Management Senior.
Wildlife is not just a hobby for Dr. Pelren, but a career he cherishes dearly. He has a connection with his students, and like them he grew up entirely fascinated with the outdoors.
"I've worked with wildlife for most of my life. My father was a biologist and instilled a fascination and respect for wildlife and nature in me from a young age. Like many folks in my profession, I grew up hunting and fishing, hiking and camping, and spending every moment possible in the outdoors" said Pelren.
His affection for teaching grew due to the admiration of wildlife.
"I worked as a counselor in the conservation area at a Boy Scout camp in high school, and I learned from that experience that I loved teaching," said Pelren.
With the knowledge of his love for teaching wildlife, Pelren earned a B.A. in Biology at Berea College in eastern Kentucky.
"My interest grew in understanding the workings and interconnections of ecological systems.
From there, I went on to UT Knoxville for an M.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science, then Oregon State for a Ph.D. and a Post-Doc in Wildlife Science. My graduate studies dealt with upland forest wildlife-habitat associations.
Specifically, I worked with ruffed grouse and blue grouse (think wild chicken). Along the way I did work in North Carolina, Mississippi, and Alaska.
As I was finishing my work in Oregon in 1996, I was offered a position here at UTM in the Natural Resources program. My wife Suzanne and I love the Pacific Northwest, but the Southeast is home to us, and I feel like the message that I have to give is to the culture that I know best. So, we've been here since 1997," said Pelren. During his time here at UTM, Pelren has seen his share of memorable moments.
"We have a student professional organization, the Wildlife Society, that gives out annual awards. One of them is the Roadkill Award, for the biggest, funniest mistake of the year. There have been some pretty interesting years."
"OK, I've gotten it a few times, but I'm kind of clumsy and I've been here a while.
The most memorable events for me are small shared moments with students enjoying the beauty and surprises that sometimes come along in the outdoors. Seeing an endangered animal, walking through a healthy habitat…things that won't translate well on paper," said Pelren.
Pelren is like an open book when it comes to his students, but they don't know everything about him.
"I've never seen a long-tailed weasel. I occasionally enjoy rock-climbing. I can roll a kayak. Once, a long time ago, my father might have written me a ticket for accidentally shooting a hen turkey. That's a long story," said Pelren.
Wildlife is a profession that takes skills, knowledge, dedication and honor. Not many people can handle that.
"The wildlife profession isn't for everyone. All told, I've spent over 6 years of my life sleeping in tents. I've been chased and bitten and scratched and pooped on by a great diversity of species.
A lot of early mornings and a lot of coffee. But I believe that this is a noble profession, and a fulfilling one.
We are working to improve the world. Serving in such a way, doing something we love – we in the wildlife profession feel very fortunate," said Pelren
Over the years Pelren has accomplished much, but he still has goals.
"I want our graduates to understand the difference between a healthy, functioning ecosystem, and a broken one, and I want them to know how to fix what's broken. And I hope with all my heart that I can instill them with enough passion to want to spend their lives trying to fix what's broken," said Pelren.

Could Too Much Medication for Irregular Heartbeat Raise Dementia Risk?
Posted 9 days ago by Drugs.com
SUNDAY, Nov. 16, 2014 – People with atrial fibrillation who are overtreated with anti-clotting drugs may be doubling their risk for dementia, a new study suggests. Atrial fibrillation causes the upper chambers of the heart to contract quickly and irregularly. These abnormal contractions allow blood to pool in the heart, forming clots that can cause a stroke if they break off and are carried into the brain. However, too much anti-clotting medication may raise the chances of tiny brain bleeds that, over time, might raise the risk of dementia, the researchers said. "In patients with atrial fibrillation, dementia risk is dependent on the efficacy and control of long-term use of anti-clotting drugs," said lead researcher Dr. Thomas Jared Bunch, director of electrophysiology at the Intermountain Heart Institute in Murray, Utah. Warfarin and Plavix, along with aspirin, are some of the most ... Read more

Brain Injuries in Older Age Could Boost Dementia Risk, Study Finds
Posted 27 Oct 2014 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Oct. 27, 2014 – A mild concussion after age 65 might boost your risk of developing dementia, a new study suggests. Head injuries seem to pose special hazards for seniors compared to those in upper middle age, the researchers said. "This was surprising and suggests that the older brain may be especially vulnerable to traumatic brain injury, regardless of the traumatic brain injury severity," said study lead author Dr. Raquel Gardner, a clinical research fellow with San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center. "Or to spin it more positively, the younger brain may be more resilient to mild traumatic brain injury or may take longer to show symptoms of dementia," she added. Whatever the case, she believes the findings should spur efforts to prevent head injuries among older adults. "Most doctors and patients understand the importance of preventing falls in order to prevent bodily ... Read more

Memory Slips in Senior Years May Signal Dementia Risk
Posted 24 Sep 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 24, 2014 – Healthy elderly people who begin reporting memory lapses are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with dementia roughly a decade later, new research suggests. Evaluating more than 500 seniors, scientists found that those with memory complaints were almost three times more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (memory and thinking problems) – a potential precursor to Alzheimer's disease – within nine years. Additionally, 80 percent had full-blown dementia within a dozen years. "I would say if you're an elderly person and you're noticing serious changes in your memory, you should take it seriously, but it's certainly not a cause for immediate alarm," said study author Richard Kryscio, associate director of University of Kentucky's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging. "If you're a middle-aged person, I would sort of ignore this," he added. "The average ... Read more

Not Everyone With Alzheimer's-Linked Protein Develops Dementia: Study
Posted 15 Sep 2014 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Sept. 15, 2014 – The human brain may have a way to compensate for the build-up of a destructive protein associated with Alzheimer's disease. That could help explain why some older people who have beta-amyloid deposits do not develop dementia, California researchers report. "This study provides evidence that there is plasticity or compensation ability in the aging brain that appears to be beneficial, even in the face of beta-amyloid accumulation," said the study's principal investigator, Dr. William Jagust. He's a professor with joint appointments at University of California, Berkeley's Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, the School of Public Health and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The study, published Sept. 14 in Nature Neuroscience, involved 22 healthy young adults and 49 older adults who showed no signs of mental decline. Using brain imaging technology, known as ...

Advanced Dementia Patients Often Given Unhelpful Meds: Study
Posted 11 Sep 2014 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Sept. 11, 2014 – A new national analysis of U.S. nursing home prescription patterns says that more than half of people with advanced dementia are prescribed medications that are of questionable benefit. "The main concern centers on the under-appreciated burden and personal cost of using questionably beneficial meds," said study lead author Dr. Jennifer Tjia. She's with the department of quantitative health sciences at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. "Giving many daily medications to these patients, who often have difficulty eating and swallowing, is often uncomfortable [for the patient]," she noted. "Further, giving so many medications is not consistent with the goals of care for these patients, which is typically comfort," she added. And, "many of these medications have very real health risks, such as nausea, sedation, arrhythmias [irregular ... Read more

Study: Rare Blood Type May Slightly Raise Dementia Risk
Posted 10 Sep 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 10, 2014 – Your blood type may play a small role in your risk for dementia, a new study finds. People with blood type AB, which includes about 4 percent of the population, appear to have an increased risk for memory problems as they age. Over about three years, individuals with blood type AB were almost twice as likely to show memory problems as those with type O blood, the most common blood group, the study found. But experts cautioned that those with AB blood shouldn't panic because other circumstances play a bigger part in their risk for mental impairment. "If you were to do the same study and look at smoking, lack of exercise, obesity and other lifestyle factors, the risk of dementia is much, much higher," said Dr. Terence Quinn, a clinical lecturer in stroke and geriatric medicine at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.

Scientists Shed Light on Link Between Depression, Dementia
Posted 30 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, July 30, 2014 – Older people with depression are more likely to develop dementia, but researchers have been unable to explain the exact nature of the relationship between the two. Specifically, they haven't been able to figure out the direction in which the relationship works – does depression help bring on dementia, or does dementia cause people to become depressed? A new study published online July 30 in the journal Neurology sheds more light on the mystery. Depression is a risk factor for dementia, researchers report, and people with more symptoms of depression tend to suffer a more rapid decline in thinking and memory skills. While the study found an association between the two, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Depression accounted for about 4.4 percent of the difference in mental decline that could not be attributed to dementia-related damage found in ... Read more

Gardens a Center of Calm for People With Dementia
Posted 30 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, July 30, 2014 – Spending time in a garden might help soothe the agitation that commonly strikes people with dementia, a new review suggests. Looking at 17 past studies, British researchers found evidence that watering plants, or sitting or strolling in a garden can help soothe some dementia patients' anxiety. The study authors cautioned that the effects of gardens on dementia patients are a tough subject to study – and the evidence of a benefit is limited. But experts said it's encouraging that there is ongoing research into the potential calming power of outdoor space. As dementia progresses, it's common for people to become anxious, restless and agitated, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Sometimes there is a medical reason – such as chronic pain – that the person with dementia just can't explain, said Dr. Mark Stecker, chairman of neurosciences at ... Read more

Pacemakers Common for Those With Dementia and Irregular Heartbeats
Posted 29 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, July 28, 2014 – People who have dementia and heart rhythm irregularities are more likely to get a pacemaker than people without dementia, new research has found. In fact, the study of more than 16,000 people found that those with dementia were up to 80 percent more likely to get a pacemaker than those without the memory-robbing condition. What isn't clear from this study is why folks with dementia are so much more likely to be treated with a pacemaker, said the study's lead researcher, Nicole Fowler, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. Perhaps the more important question, though, is whether some patients with dementia – a progressive condition without a cure – should get a pacemaker at all, Fowler said. "We really need to take into account the whole picture and make sure patients understand the implications of the decisions they are making," ... Read more

A Healthy Lifestyle May Deflect Dementia
Posted 15 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, July 15, 2014 – Seniors at risk for dementia may help safeguard their memory and ability to think by adopting a healthier lifestyle, a new study from Finland suggests. Older people who began eating right, exercising, playing "brain games" and socializing more often performed better on memory and problem-solving tests than people who maintained their habits, the researchers said. Earlier studies have observed that each of these lifestyle changes might help fight dementia. But this is the first randomized clinical trial to put those findings to the test, said Keith Fargo, director of scientific programs and outreach for the Alzheimer's Association. "This is the first study to definitively show that changing your lifestyle will reduce your risk for cognitive decline," Fargo said. The study involved 1,260 people aged 60 to 77 at risk for dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Half of ... Read more

High Blood Pressure May Protect the Very Old From Dementia
Posted 14 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, July 14, 2014 – New research suggests high blood pressure may not be all bad. Elevated levels might help to stave off mental decline among the extreme elderly, the study suggests. The finding follows a decade spent tracking high blood pressure and dementia among 625 men and women aged 90 and up. Those with the highest blood pressure levels were the least likely to have dementia, the researchers found. But that doesn't mean older people shouldn't try to control elevated blood pressure, they said. "On the basis of this work we are absolutely not recommending that high blood pressure not be treated among the elderly," said study co-author Maria Corrada, an associate adjunct professor in the department of neurology at the University of California, Irvine. "What we are saying is that from observing a group of very old people we now have some evidence that developing high blood ... Read more

Widowhood May Delay Dementia in Some Seniors, Study Finds

MONDAY, July 14, 2014 – Losing a spouse may be linked to multiple health issues, but dementia isn't one of them, according to a new study. For certain seniors, widowhood may even delay dementia, the researchers found. "For those who had a mild memory problem, losing the spouse was associated with a later age of developing full-blown dementia compared to those who stayed married," said study researcher Dr. Bryan Woodruff. Woodruff, an assistant professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., can only speculate on the reasons for this perceived association. Widowed men and women may get more outside support and attention, he said. "It may be that social support, that network trumps the widowhood effects we see in other conditions," he said.

Staying Active May Help Prevent Dementia
Posted 14 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, July 14, 2014 – Being physically active in middle age appears to help reduce your risk for Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, suggest the findings from two new studies. "In our studies, we found that physical exercise at various levels, especially in midlife, is beneficial for cognitive function," Dr. Yonas Geda from the Mayo Clinic, said in an Alzheimer's Association news release. "These are intriguing results, but they are not yet conclusive. More research is needed to determine the extent and nature of physical activity in protecting against MCI [mild cognitive impairment] and dementia," Geda added. One study included 280 seniors who were asked about their physical activity levels over their lifetime. The median age of the study volunteers was 81, which means half were under that age and half were older than 81. All of the study participants had early signs of ... Read more

Cataract Surgery a Plus for Someone With Dementia, Study Says
Posted 14 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
SUNDAY, July 13, 2014 – Along with improving vision, cataract surgery may slow mental decline in people with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, a new study suggests. Better eyesight also improves their quality of life, the researchers said. "These preliminary results indicate that improved vision can have a variety of benefits for people with dementia and their loved ones, both visual and non-visual," said Dr. Alan Lerner, of Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Case Medical Center, in Ohio. Cataract surgery involves removing the eye's cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. The study included 20 dementia patients who had cataract surgery and a control group of eight patients who did not have the procedure.
