MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. --
-- The goals of the Maxwell pharmacy are to provide safe and timely medication education and distribution to all eligible beneficiaries. We process 7,000-9,000 prescriptions weekly using the Q-Matic ticket system, which prioritizes prescription requests based on patient category. There are five options to choose from on the Q-Matic screen: (a) active duty service members in uniform; (b) spouse of deployed member; (c) activate/pick up prescriptions ordered by on-base providers; (d) drop off/pick up prescriptions from off-base providers; and (e) pick up previously called in refills.
Active duty members in uniform should select an "a" ticket for all pharmacy needs to ensure they have priority and can return to duty as soon as possible. With the support of 42nd Medical Group leadership, spouses of deployed members have "b" ticket priority to expedite their medication needs.
Prescriptions ordered by clinic providers must be activated in person at the pharmacy window inside the clinic to assure proper patient safety. These are normally completed more quickly than handwritten prescriptions. We ask patients to have their identifications readyand to end phone conversations before approaching the pharmacy window. In addition, patients should be aware of and try to avoid peak demand periods with prolonged wait times, including lunch (11 a.m.-2 p.m.) as well as wing exercise and monthly training days (third Thursday monthly from noon-4:30 p.m.).
Prescriptions ordered by civilian providers may be processed via the drive-through window or the drop-off box located at the end of the drive-through lane. For these options, we need patient identification (date of birth and DOD ID number or sponsor's social security number), patient contact information and any recent drug allergies. Please allow sufficient processing time: three hours for the drive-through window and six hours for the drop-off box.
Filling prescriptions is a complex process. It involves more than putting pills in a bottle. Multiple checks and verifications are required to assure the correct medications and dosages are dispensed. In turn, we encourage patients to be proactive: to know the medications they take and the reasons they take them. Patients also are encouraged to call in a refill request before they run out of medication. Walk-in refill requests cannot be completed the same-day due to staffing limitations.
Another important item to be aware of is the difference between a refill and a renewal. Refills provide a specific supply of medication for a designated time period. For example, 90 pills with three refills would last for one year. Once those three refills have been used, it is time for a renewal. Your pharmacy staff is able to dispense refills, but patients will need to see their provider to obtain a renewal and to ensure the medication is still needed.
We value our patients' time and strive to provide the safest and most efficient service possible. Our goal is to make your visit to the pharmacy a seamless experience. If you have additional questions or feedback, please call us at 953-9333. We constantly look for ways to improve our processes and welcome your suggestions.

Obituary: Charles `Buddy' Rogers
Monday 26 April 1999
I met him several times, and was surprised at the difference between the screen character - a boy of rather delicate charm - and the real Buddy Rogers. He had exceptional charm - his friend Douglas Fairbanks Jnr joked "Sometimes you wish he'd be a son of a bitch, just to break the monotony". One could sense a slight similarity with Fairbanks senior - he was athletic and outgoing and had a similarly outsize personality.
His father, B.H. Rogers, was a judge who also owned a weekly newspaper in Olathe, Kansas. As a boy, Buddy delivered newspapers and movie posters and was given a free pass to the local movie theatre. He saw three or four films a week, yet he was far more fascinated by the musicians accompanying the movies than by the action on the screen.
While taking a journalism course at the University of Kansas, in 1926, his father phoned to tell him that Paramount were sending a crew to test college students for possible entry to a School of Acting. Most such schools were phoney; the Paramount School, however much of a publicity stunt it may have been, was backed by the studio.
But Rogers was having a wonderful time at college. He had a five-piece jazz band, he was living at the fraternity house with all the football players and he did not want them to see him putting on make-up. His father had to beg him to make the screen test. "I did it for Dad. I didn't have any talent. I had no feeling for it. But I did make the test and a couple of weeks later I received a telegram to come to New York."
He went to Astoria Studios, New York, where the Paramount School of Acting had its headquarters. "I remember the first day, they taught us to roll downstairs without hurting ourselves. They thought that was important. We didn't take it too seriously. It was more exciting watching Richard Dix working in the studio than learning to be an actor." After three months he was taken to a golf course on Long Island to meet W.C. Fields, and was cast in Fields's picture So's Your Old Man (1926), directed by Gregory La Cava. The Paramount School produced only a handful of successful players - including Thelma Todd and Josephine Dunn - but Paramount ensured that the entire class of 10 boys and 10 girls appeared in Fascinating Youth (1926) along with Adolphe Menjou and Clara Bow.
The most exciting moment of Rogers's life came at his graduation when the head of Paramount, Adolph Zukor, broke the news that he had been selected to play Ronald Colman's brother in Beau Geste, to be directed by the great Herbert Brenon. En route to California, he stopped off in his home town and paraded along the main street wearing Foreign Legion uniform. "When I was met in California, Jesse Lasky said `Sorry, Buddy, you're not going to be in Beau Geste after all.' And I said `But I wore the costume in my home town!' I was embarrassed about returning to Kansas." (The London- born actor Ralph Forbes got the part.)
As a consolation prize, Paramount gave him the lead in Old Ironsides - a sea story. Then he heard that he had lost that part as well - to Charles Farrell. Rogers went to the head of production and said "Mr Lasky, I wasn't brought up this way. I really believe I'd be happier to go back to Kansas, and work on my father's newspaper.'
Lasky said, "As a matter of fact, Billy Wellman's making an aviation picture. He's looking for boys to play young pilots. Would you lunch with him tomorrow?" Reluctantly, Rogers met Wellman - and was given the lead in Wings (1927). It went on to win the first Academy Award for Best Picture.
It made a star of Buddy Rogers - but he went through a far more gruelling initiation than he ever got from the School of Acting. William Wellman, a former fighter pilot, was one of the toughest of all taskmasters. (Rogers admired him extravagantly.) He couldn't stand studio fakery and he ordered the actors to take the airplanes up themselves.
Before I learned to fly solo, they would strap a camera on the front of the engine cowling. A second lieutenant called Van would take me up and then get down in his back seat so he couldn't be seen and I'd take the stick - now I was the actor, the director and the cameraman - for 400 feet. I'd have to find the German planes and get the right clouds behind me and I'd fight the Germans and when I'd run out of film, Van would sit up and he'd land the plane. This went on for six months until I was able to control the plane myself.
"Van" was Hoyt Vandenberg, a four star general in the Second World War who now has an air force base named after him.
Wellman felt extreme methods were necessary in the Folies Bergere sequence:
He got me drunk. Here I am, this little boy from Kansas, never had a beer or champagne. Billy says "Champagne's good for you - it'll relax you". So he relaxed me - and relaxed me - and all of a sudden he had me doing a drunk scene. He more or less hypnotised me. "You see all those champagne bubbles?" I said "Yes. I see the bubbles!" Well, the bubbles were in my mind but later on they animated bubbles over the scene. So that was my first good binge.
Nineteen twenty-seven was perhaps the most extraordinary year in Rogers's career. He was cast opposite Mary Pickford in her enchanting film My Best Girl, directed by Sam Taylor. He had felt affection for Pickford since boyhood, but Norma Shearer was his favourite. However, the great star impressed him:
She financed all her own pictures, but on the set she was just one of the cast. Lights would fall and mistakes would be made - she never lost her composure once. But after she'd seen the dailies, she had group meetings every night. And I was in one of them. She explained to the electricians and the cameramen what she expected the next day. She was in complete control of her production. But you would never see her showing her authority on the set.
The film's cameraman, Charles Rosher, said he first noticed something between them during the shooting of a love scene with the couple in a packing crate. When the scene was over, he couldn't get them out. The Fairbanks-Pickford marriage was under strain, due to Fairbanks's affairs. Yet Rogers remained friends with both.
He played opposite the "It" girl, Clara Bow, who had been his love interest in Wings, in Get Your Man (1927), directed by one of Hollywood's few successful female directors, Dorothy Arzner. He said:
Clara Bow was so filled with excitement and fun and romance and sex. And she so wanted to prove this to the world that she just gave of herself. She gave so much that her body and brain couldn't stand it. I'll always think that she would be with us today had she been more relaxed and more calm while she was making her films.
Rogers was now typecast as the charming college boy, and was inundated with fan mail - reportedly 20,000 letters a month. He was cast in a film that turned out to be another tremendous success, Abie's Irish Rose (1929), directed by Victor Fleming, as the Jewish ex-serviceman. The Irish girl was Nancy Carroll and the Rogers-Carroll partnership was so popular that they made three musicals together. Rogers stated:
As I look back, it was easy to be a silent star. The relaxed days of the motion picture were over the minute dialogue came in. Not only did the director want the dialogue his way, but so did the dialogue director, the sound man and six or seven other technicians. It was quite different.
Although he made his most outstanding pictures in the silent days, the arrival of sound gave Rogers's career - and his musical talent - a boost. Paramount also cast him in a sequel to Wings called Young Eagles (1930). It used outtakes from Wings, but was not in the same league. Rogers always regretted that despite the number of pictures he made - 42 in all - he never topped the success of Wings.
Some of his pictures, inevitably, were bad and music was his ideal escape route. "When I got bad reviews, I'd say `Oh, yeah, I'll show you.' Rudy Vallee told me `Buddy, get an orchestra. Travel. There's nothing like it.' Then I'd get a good band. Have it for years."
Mary Martin was one of his vocalists and Gene Krupa his drummer. His band, the California Cavaliers, was featured in movies on the radio and even on Broadway. He devoted most of the 1930s to music, but he kept up a number of film appearances - some in England. In Dance Band (1935), directed by Marcel Varnel, with June Clyde, critics were astonished at his ability to play almost every instrument in his jazz orchestra:
I got tired of being known as "America's Boyfriend" and just making love to a different girl each time. I would have loved to have played a villain. Although a villain is hated, he is also admired as he has real acting to do." The nearest he came to it was as a murder suspect in The Lawyer's Secret (1931).
In 1936, a few months after her divorce from Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford announced her engagement to Buddy Rogers. They were married on 26 June 1937. They adopted two children - Roxanne and Ronald - and the famous mansion Pickfair was thrown open for parties for servicemen in the Second World War. Just before Rogers joined up in 1942, he played with Laurel and Hardy in The Dancing Master (1943). "During my four years in the Naval Air Corps," he revealed, "I met not one, but thousands of young men who said `You are responsible for me being a flyer. When I was a little boy, I saw you in Wings'."
After the war, he and Mary Pickford produced such films as Sleep My Love (1948, with Claudette Colbert and Don Ameche) for her company, United Artists:
She could sit in a business meeting with ten men and come up with an idea faster than any of them. She could make a speech without working on it. She knew how to start, how to get a tear, how to get a laugh and how to end. She never rehearsed, never studied, never took notes. Amazing. She never had any formal education whatsoever.
Rogers had never cared for his boyhood nickname, Buddy, but now it came in useful to distinguish him from another producer called Charles Rogers.
He entertained the troops with his band during the Korean War - at one point his helicopter came under anti-aircraft fire. In the late 1950s, he acted on the stage with his friend Mary Brian, another veteran of the silent screen. He made his last film in 1957 - he also produced it - and devoted himself to the Mary Pickford Corporation, which made substantial donations to charities. He made many television appearances, and took over as guest presenter on the top-rated Ed Sullivan Show.
Marriage to Pickford must have become a nightmare when she turned more and more to drink. But he stood by her loyally. He administered her charitable foundation, winning the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1986. (Hersholt had played his father in Abie's Irish Rose.) With his friend Matty Kemp, Rogers was also concerned with the preservation of the surviving Pickford films. Mary Pickford died in 1979, aged 86. Two years later, he married the real- estate agent Beverly Ricondo. They sold Pickfair - it was demolished by Pia Zadora - and moved to a new house they built on the estate.

Infertility a Disability?
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 05-22-2004 - 1:45pm
This was mentioned recently in another message, and I am REALLY curious about whether I can apply for disability time off and benefits due to infertility.
Does anyone know the answer?
To which organization do I apply? Are there any websites I can consult (I did a web search, but there is so much out there on disability I don't know where to start)?
Is this federal, state, private (my company/insurance), or all three?
This could be so incredibly helpful to me (and others)! Any info appreciated!
Also, what would be the best generic infertility board on which I should post this question?
As usual, thanks in advance for any advice, info or previous experience!
Best to all and baby dust,

"My first reaction is that the procedure is voluntary and any adverse results that cause you to lose time from work are not compensable.
"However, several options occur to me.
"1 - You could take sick days and/or vacation days that you have coming to you.
"2 - If your employer has a salary continuation plan for illness or disability beyond sick days, then the employer is the one to ask.
"3 - If you have a private disability policy, read it and the provisions will tell you whether this is covered or not.
"4 - If you have a group disability plan, read it and the provisions will tell you whether this is covered or not.
"You certainly would not be eligible for any federal, state, or local welfare programs.
"Frankly, if you can't afford ALL of the costs of this procedure, especially the intangible ones of being out of work for 3-4 weeks, I suggest you think twice about it. Children are very expensive propositions."
Well, okay, not too positive but I have learned not to give up on ANYTHING that can help my TTC journey!
If anyone else has experience or knowledge in this area, it would be great to hear.
Best wishes and baby dust to all,

Sat, Mar 07, 2009
The FAA has published in the Federal Register a revised
airworthiness directive for Boeing 777 aircraft equipped with
Rolls-Royce engines.
The new AD adds further procedures to prevent
ice buildup that can clog fuel lines. It comes in response to the
British investigation of a Boeing 777 accident at Heathrow in
January 2008, which found ice can accumulate in the main fuel tank
system of the aircraft at the low fuel temperatures and low-power
fuel flows associated with long flights.
As ANN reported, investigators also determined
that when the pilot increases power, the increased fuel flow in the
tank can cause the ice to break free... which can then block the
flow of fuel to the engines.
Airlines have 10 days to comply with the new directive. The new
directive affects 56 aircraft in the US fleet, and a total of 228
Initial review of other 777 engine combinations has not revealed
the same vulnerability to ice buildup in the fuel lines. The FAA
says it is working with European aviation safety organizations to
consider the implications of this investigation on other
aircraft/engine combinations.

Movie Info
Satyajit Ray's final film is a deceptively simple modern fable about a mysterious and world-weary old man (Utpal Dutt), who comes to stay with a middle-class Calcutta family, claiming to be the wife's long-lost uncle, Manmohan Mitra. Anila (Mamata Shankar), the wife, wants to believe him, but her husband, Sudhindra (Deepankar De), has his doubts. The couple's young son, Satyaki (Bikram Bhattacharya), is enthralled by Manmohan's exotic tales of his magical adventures, which have taken him from New York to the jungles of the Amazon, and pretty much regards the whole thing as a game. As the family and their friends try to figure out who exactly he is, his very presence forces them to reflect on their own lives and identities. ~ Tom Vick, Rovi … More

Critic Reviews for Agantuk (The Stranger)
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (0) | DVD (1)
A small, gentle, exquisitely realized comedy about, among other things, family loyalties and trust in a world in which traditions have been devalued.
a beautiful valediction by a great filmmaker anticipating his own departure, whose message is as profound as any in a majestic career
This 1991 film -- Ray's last -- is far from his best, but its delicate, loosely structured domestic satire rewards viewer patience.
The work can be taken strictly as a charming drama or as something much deeper -- and that's perhaps the key to any great work.
This film is filled with the director's deep feelings about the observations he has made during his lifetime regarding the affects of civilization...
Audience Reviews for Agantuk (The Stranger)
Unfortunately, I found Satyajit Ray's final film Agantuk (The Stranger) pretty disappointing. It is the script that I found weakest, with the philosophical questions raised sounding pointless and nonsensical. The premise is basically is this man who he says he is but with only two outcomes of no particular interest or consequence, the conclusion falls a little flat. Also, why does everyone have to stand up when they talk, I don't think its a cultural thing and no one does it in his earlier films. It just feels like over acting.

"If you loved"
I read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time,and I hoped this book would be as good. I wasn't disappointed. I'm now a confirmed Mark Hadden fan.
"Fun Distraction"
After "How to Lose..." I developed a soft spot for this schlub. I'm not sure if his self professed callow life just makes me feel better about myself or what, but I admit to enjoying his over the top self deprecating humor. I couldn't read his books back-to-back, but I'll revisit the smarmy clown next time he writes one.
"Unexpected surprise"
I'm not sure why I bought this book but I was unexpectedly surprised that it was so enjoyable. Its has a interesting plot and lots of information on sea life which was also something that I found very interesting.
All and all, I'd reccommend this quiet book.
"Engrossing book"
I found this autobiographical account very engrossing and finished it in a couple of listens.
The book is narrated by its author who adds an extra layer of realism to this fascinating story.
I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys the History or Discovery channels.

Greenman, Emily. 2011. "Assimilation Choices Among Immigrant Families: Does School Context Matter?" International Migration Review, 45(1): 29-67.
This article explores the relationship between social context, measured in terms of school characteristics, and the assimilation of immigrant adolescents. First, it develops a measure of assimilation based on comparing immigrant adolescents to native peers within the same school. Second, it investigates whether immigrant adolescents' degree of assimilation varies systematically according to school socioeconomic status (SES). Third, it explores the role of parental and adolescent behavior in creating such variation. Results show that both Asian and Hispanic immigrant youth are less assimilated to native youths' substance use and delinquency patterns in lower-SES schools. This association can be explained by parenting behaviors and adolescent friendship choices for Asian youth, but not Hispanic youth.

Answers Posted By Chris Wilms
Answer to Can my supervisor require me to attend after work social events, ie dinner or drinks?This is a complex issue. You may be looking at a possible wage and hour violation if it is required to attend and if your raises/promotions are affected by failure to attend. You should be compensated for your time if you are required to attend. That being said, some employees are exempt employees and in that case there may be nothing that can be done. Being paid a salary rather than hourly is not necessarily the outcome determinative factor. I would have to know more about the work you do to make that determination.
If you're terminated/demoted/not promoted, or some other adverse employment action is taken against you for complaining about wages, there's a separate cause of action called the Retaliatory Employment Discrimination Act which provides additional statutory damages.
Both Wage and Hour Act and REDA violations can be reported to the NC Dept of Labor. You should consider acting quickly as there are applicable statutes of limitation which bar you from pursuing a claim after a certain period of time. Calling the NCDOL is the first step to filing a complaint against your employer.
Practically, it may be a mere misunderstanding of the law and corrective action by someone with authority (HR, executives, etc.) might need to intercede to explain to the manager what is wrong with his requirements. Also practically, there are children at home that need to be fed and any legal action is a lengthy process so you will want to think holistically about the best course of action for those affected.

Answer to If I refuse to sign a "separation agreement and release" does this disqualify me from receiving UI?Refusing to sign a separation agreement is not the same thing as resigning. Based on the info you provided, it sounds like a clever way to get a month of work out of you in exchange for a release of claims and no payout of unemployment benefits.
If you were fired and it sounds like you were, the appeal was the right thing to do. If you have a hearing scheduled, you may want to read the regulations on hearings. The rules for how the hearing will go are posted on the Division of Employment Security website. If you've never been to this type of hearing, it's a lot like a mini-court trial but with looser rules of evidence.
posted Feb 5, 2012 9:23 PM [EST]
Answer to Told I was laid off than terminatedIf you signed a severance agreement, which may be entitled something different, like "Separation and Release Agreement" you will want to look through it to see if a reduction in severance pay is something you agreed to if you were found to be terminated for just cause.
Also, you may get some answers by calling them -- at least as to finding out what the just cause was.
If, ultimately, you get to a point where you believe that the other half of the severance was owed but not paid, severance pay would count as wages under the Wage and Hour Act, which provides statutory damages in a lot of cases in addition to the wages themselves.

Lee Joon-seok, captain of the South Korean ferry that lifted over earlier this week, was taken into custody on Friday night after prosecutors sought an arrest warrant for him and additional crew members for their mishandling of the ship.
According to USA Today, a shore-to-ship transcript discovered by investigators shows that the captain withheld evacuation of the ferry by 30 minutes after being advised to do so by the Jeju Vessel Traffic Services Center.
Additionally, prosecutors believe Lee failed to be present on the bridge during the sharp turn maneuver that caused the disaster, and was one of the first to abandon ship.
The 68-year-old captain made a brief apology Thursday behind a gray hoodie, stating, "I am really sorry and deeply ashamed. I don't know what to say."
Fox News reports that 20 of the 29 crew members survived the ordeal, while 270 passengers, mostly students, remain unaccounted for.
Besides the captain, a female mate and male helmsman are being sought by prosecutors for failing to reduce speeds while navigating the island-condensed waters.
Rescue attempts continued Friday, but so far only 28 bodies have been recovered.

They say that when God closes a door, he opens a window. Well, when Jerry Jensen closes a Subway, which is unusual, he opens another - and likely another and another. The owner of six Subways in Coeur d'Alene and Hayden sat inside his newest store on Seventh and Sherman that opened Monday. "Obviously in the summertime we're going to get a ton more traffic, and that's a big thing," he said. The 1,700-square-foot store is in a prime location to continue drawing big weekday lunch crowds, as well as increasing customer count for dinners and weekends. "I think that really was the driving force behind this," Jensen said/Bill Buley, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (Shawn Gust Coeur d'Alene Press photo: Sandwich artists Patrick Runkle, left, and Brad McNelis work on a customer order Tuesday at Subway in Coeur d'Alene)
Question: This is the site of the old Senor Froggy's, right? Is that a good location for a Subway?
Jared Fogle, the man who famously lost weight with exercise and Subway sandwiches, spends about 100 days per year traveling to elementary schools around the country to deliver his message about being healthy. "Since the kids know me from TV, hopefully the message will have a little more meaning to them," said Fogle, who began gaining excessive weight in third grade. On Wednesday, the 34-year-old spoke at Spokane's Holmes Elementary School. Story here. (SR photo: Christopher Anderson) And: KHQ video link to interview with Jared here.
Question: Does Subway spokesman Jared Fogle inspire/deflate you?
I thought I was being so good, so healthful. So proud of myself for sticking to my diet plan, even sacrificing yummy Monterey Cheddar bread for a sensible nine-grain wheat and opting for light mayo. Anyway, I'd always thought of tuna as weight-loss-in-a-can, touted by obsessive bodybuilders as a protein-rich miracle food that can help achieve maximum muscle hypertrophy and give you that fetching Lou Ferrigno glow. At least it felt like a step in the right direction away from the Baconator blues. Au contraire, for my research reveals that a juicy Wendy's Baconator burger weighs in lightly at a mere 830 calories, with 51 grams of fat. A foot-long Subway tuna with cheese and all the fixings and extra banana peppers waddles in at 1,060 calories, with a fat count of 62 grams. 62 grams of fat sounds like a heck of a lot to me, especially when I think of it in raw form, jiggling away like flan on a silver tray in the liposuctionist's office/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More here.
Question: Chicken teriyaki is my favorite Subway sandwich. What's yours?

Grammy-winning singer Rihanna raised a few eyebrows over the weekend after following ex-boyfriend Chris Brown on Twitter and lashed back at criticism from her fans.
Responding to a fan asking if her following Brown was a sign the two would romantically reunite, RiRi turned down the speculation.
"@iStan4Rihanna_ its f*ckin twitter, not the alter! calm down," she tweeted May 14th.
"@iStan4Rihanna_ babygirl I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt or offend u! Just needed to make it clear to the Navy! I still Stan for u xoxo" (Rihanna's Twitter)
Rihanna and Brown began following one another over the weekend.
Exes Chris Brown and Rihanna are following each other on Twitter — and the fans aren't very happy about it. On Saturday, people began to notice that Brown — who beat his then-girlfriend Rihanna on the night of the Grammy Awards in 2009 — started following Rihanna on the social media website. In turn, she followed him as well. (Billboard)
Earlier this year, RiRi talked about her lack of motivation to hook back up with her ex.
"We don't have to talk ever again in my life," Rihanna explains. "I just didn't want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did was a personal thing — it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be 100 feet away from me, he can't perform at awards shows — that definitely made it difficult for him … But you can never please people. One minute, I'm being too hard, and the next minute, I'm a fool because I'm not being hard enough." (Rolling Stone)
A few months ago, Brown made headlines for causing mayhem following a "Good Morning America" interview where he was asked questions about Rihanna.
Chris Brown exploded in rage behind the scenes at "Good Morning America" this morning … smashing a window and storming out without a shirt … sources tell TMZ … and it was triggered by on-air questions about the Rihanna incident. ABC sources tell TMZ … Brown performed and was interviewed by Robin Roberts live from the Times Square studio when she began asking about the infamous incident. Brown tried to redirect the questions to focus on his album — but Roberts continued to ask about Brown's legalissues stemming from the Rihanna incident. (TMZ)
Last February, Chris Brown had his restraining order downgraded but is forbidden from annoying, harassing and stalking ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
Check out some recent Rihanna footage down below:

24" of Lake Effect Snow Overnight East of Lake Ontario New York
- Jareen, CNN iReport producer
Last night about midnight, I looked out the front window and was surprised.
We'd heard that South of us about 8 miles on the Tug Hill Plateau, was supposed to get more snow.
That's nothing new for them. They get a lot of snow.
But the winds, about 35 miles an hour had shifted unexpectedly from the West to the South West which brought all of two feet of snow our way here in Watertown.
People here, unlike in Atlanta, Georgia, are used to tons of snow.
Northern New York has many plows and sanders because we get lots of snow for 6 months of the year.
Just thought I'd share with those of you in the South what our normal day in Winter is like.
When I lived in Oklahoma, a half inch of snow would close schools and businesses.
So I can empathize with those of you in the South that don't see snow that much.
Take a look at these videos and photos and be glad that your snow is the exception and not the norm.

After initial reports suggested that their next collaboration would be strictly off-screen, it seems that frequent co-stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan may reunite on film after all.
The Hollywood Reporter writes that Hanks is in negotiations to make a small cameo in "Ithaca," Ryan's directorial debut in which she's also starring. Hanks had previously signed on in a behind-the-scenes role to executive produce the film through his Playtone company.
If things pan out, this would mark the fourth time -- and first time in 16 years -- that the pair have starred together on the big screen, following "Joe Versus the Volcano," "Sleepless in Seattle," and "You've Got Mail."
"Ithaca" is an adaption of William Saroyan's 1943 novel "The Human Comedy," and focuses on a 14-year-old bike messenger delivering telegrams during World War II, and the war's effect on his hometown and his family. Hanks would play the boy's father. »

Tom Hanks is in talks for a cameo in Meg Ryan's directorial debut "Ithaca" alongside the likes of Sam Shepard, Jack Quaid and Melanie Griffith.
Based on William Saroyan's 1943 novel "The Human Comedy," the film explores how the Second World War affects a family in California's San Joaquin Valley.
Specifically it centers on a 14-year-old telegraph bicycle messenger named Homer Macauley who is left to take care of his widowed mother, older sister and four-year-old brother Ulysses after his older brother is sent off to fight.
Homer continues delivering messages, one of which will change his life forever. Tom Hanks will play Homer's late father.
Erik Jendresen penned the script while Gary Goetzman, Janet Brenner and Laura Ivey are set to produce. Shooting begins next month in Virginia.

After appearing together in Joe Versus the Volcano, Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan look set to reunite in the big screen adaptation of William Saroyan's classic 1943 novel The Human Comedy. It marks the directorial debut of Ryan and she will start shooting in Virginia next month.
Hanks is closely involved in the project as an executive producer, so the fact that he's willing to make a cameo in the World War II set coming of age drama perhaps shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.
The novel was adapted by Band of Brothers scribe Erik Jendresen, and he obviously worked with Hanks on that critically acclaimed HBO series. Sam Shepard, Melanie Griffith and Jack Quaid have so far also been confirmed as starring in the movie. Janet Brenner and Laura Ivey are producing.

We already knew that Tom Hanks was set to work as a producer on Meg Ryan's debut directorial effort Ithaca, but it looks like he'll be briefly starring in the film too according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ithaca is based on William Saroyan's 1943 novel The Human Comedy which is described as:
The place is Ithaca, in California's San Joaquin Valley. The time is World War II. The family is the Macauley's—a mother, sister, and three brothers whose struggles and dreams reflect those of America's second-generation immigrants…In particular, fourteen-year-old Homer, determined to become one of the fastest telegraph messengers in the West, finds himself caught between reality and illusion as delivering his messages of wartime death, love, and money brings him face-to-face with human emotion at its most naked and raw.
According to the report, Hanks will play the father of the family »

From Sleepless In Seattle, to You'Ve Got Mail and Joe Versus The Volcano, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have made a perfect movie duo for many years but it has, of course, been a while since they've hit the big screen together.
This one is a little different though as Ithaca will be Meg Ryan's directorial debut with Hanks production company Playtone backing her. That's not to say there won't be a cameo for Hanks though and although this isn't something he always does, it seems that some form of reunion is definitely on and for the fourth time.
The film is based on the 1943 novel by William Saroyan called The Human Comedy. It's a World War II saga that's sold as a 'coming of age' drama about life on the front line, something that Hanks definitely has connects to and would slot into comfortably. »

Tom Hanks could make a big screen reunion with his Sleepless in Seattle co-star Meg Ryan, on board her new movie Ithaca.
The actor had already signed up to serve as producer on the film, which is Ryan's directorial debut.
As well as his work behind the camera, Hanks is now in talks to make a cameo appearance, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Set in a small Californian town in 1942, the film follows a 14-year-old called Homer Macauley, who is deemed the best and fastest bicycle telegraph messenger in history.
When his older brother goes to war, he is left to look after his widowed mother, his older sister and his 4-year-old brother, and to bring hope to their community.
Ryan is due to play the character's mother, while Sam Shepard, Melanie Griffith and Jack Quaid will also feature in the movie.

HBO's still-unnamed, long-planned 1970s rock 'n' roll drama pilot, set against the backdrop of New York's emerging punk scene, is adding a couple more band members.
Max Casella ("The Sopranos") and Jack Quaid ("The Hunger Games" movies) join the cast as music executives Julian "Julie" Silver and Clark Morelle respectively. While the hot-headed Jules struggles to stay hip and relevant, the younger Clark is just trying to get a foothold in this competitive, fast-paced world.
The project, which is scheduled to begin lensing this summer, stars Bobby Cannavale as Richie Finestra, the founder and president of a top-tier record label who is dealing with a crisis of character. Olivia Wilde plays his former actress-model wife and Juno Temple plays a manipulative, ambitious assistant at the record label.

EKHO - Finding Your Training Zone
Finding Your Training Zone
Your appropriate training zone can be determined by using the formulas shown below:
Max for Beginner (220 - your age) x 60%
Max for Intermediate (220 - your age) x 70%
Max for Advanced (220-your age) x 85%
*Note: The most accurate means of calculating your max hr for your ideal training zone is to have an exercise stress test taken by a sports medicine specialist.
For a more accurate measurement, use the Karvonen formula below:
Your max heart rate can be determined by subtracting your age from 220 for men and 206 for women.
Subtract your resting heart rate from 220 or 206.
Multiply by .70 for 70%.
Add your resting heart rate which gives you your 70% level.
Repeat the following step to find 60% or 85% levels.
For example, using the chart and formula, a 50 year old man has a resting heart rate of 75 exercising at a 70% intensity level calculates as follows
220 - 75 - 170 (max HR)
170 - 75 = 95 * 95 x .70 - 66.5
66.5 + 75 - 141.5 (70% Training Heart Rate)
Using the same formula and chart an 85% intensity level is 155.75. His 70 - 85% training zone is from 141.50 to 155.75. (A 60% intensity level is 129 beats per minute.) The Aerobic Workout: Each workout should consist of a 5-10 minute warm-up followed by 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercise, and then a 5-10 minute cool-down.
Warm-Up: The purpose of a warm-up is to gradually increase ones heart rate preparing the muscular and circulatory systems for the upcoming training period. This also helps prevent injury to muscles, ligaments, and joints.
Training period: The training period should consist of exercising for 20-30 minutes in your 70-85% training zone. Individuals out of shape or just beginning should train at 60-70% level.
Cool-Down: After the training period, gradually lower your exercise intensity level before stopping. This allows your system to return gradually to normal and prevents dizziness and nausea.
Train 3-5 Times a Week to achieve a healthy level of fitness.
Training Activities:
The best activities to improve cardiovascular fitness are ones that increase blood flow through the heart and large muscle groups continuously, rhythmically, and are aerobic in nature, such as: jogging, swimming, cross-training, stair climber, etc.
Training Heart Rate Target:
Your training heart rate target depends upon your fitness level. Healthy individuals are recommended to train at 70-80% of their max heart rate to improve cardiovascular fitness (Training below 70% target heart rate is ineffective and above 85% is potentially unsafe.) A 60-70% training heart rate might be more appropriate, comfortable, and safe for individuals just beginning or out of shape.

RWE to open UK's biggest biomass plant this month
LONDON (Reuters) - RWE npower will start commercial operations at Britain's biggest biomass power station at Tilbury in Essex at the end of January, a spokeswoman said on Thursday.
The third of three units at the 750-megawatt (MW) power plant will start producing power next week and the whole plant will be commercially operational by the end of January.
"Tilbury has two of its three units operating and the third will be commissioned next week," she said.
The new power station will burn wood pellets to produce electricity and is located on the site of the utility's ageing Tilbury coal-fired power plant, which will shut down by the end of 2015.
The plant received its first delivery of 46,000 tonnes of wood pellets in November from Georgia in the United States, where RWE Innogy owns a biomass pellet factory.
Most of the wood pellets used at Tilbury will originate from North America, while some supply will stem from continental Europe, RWE npower said.
The utility is also on track to open a 2,000 MW gas-fired power plant at Pembroke in the third quarter of this year, with two out of five units undergoing commissioning as of last week, the spokeswoman said.
RWE npower started another large gas plant in late 2010, the four-unit Staythorpe plant with a capacity of 1,650 MW.
