Don't have a date to take home for Thanksgiving? Rent one online, instead!Caitlin Dewey

Wonkblog: People literally have no idea how many calories are in their foodJason Millman
America is about to find out how many calories are in their favorite dishes and snacks — and it could be a pretty big wake-up call. After years of delay, the FDA on Tuesday approved sweeping new rules that will mandate calorie counts at many places where Americans eat out — chain restaurants, movie theaters, pizza joints, vending machines and more. Most affected companies will have a year to get on board with the new requirements, while vending machine operators have been given two years to comply. Read full article >>

The turkey is not to blame for your Thanksgiving 'food coma'Ellie Krieger
It just wouldn't feel like Thanksgiving without certain key features: a roasted turkey, pumpkin pie, too much traffic, some family drama, and, to cap it all off, the annual food coma. It's a natural progression: After the final bites of dessert, everyone sluggishly wanders over to the sofa and either submits to or fights off a nap while the conversation turns to musings on how turkey makes you drowsy. Of course, your know-it-all aunt will confidently inform you that it's because of the tryptophan. Read full article >>

Why Darren Wilson said he killed Michael BrownTerrence McCoy
It's a scene that plays out thousands of times every year all over America: A white cop stops a black teen he thinks is up to no good. The teen gets mouthy; there's an exchange of profanities and maybe an arrest. Mostly, these events are forgotten, except perhaps by those involved. But a handful are not. That's what happened in Ferguson, Mo., where an Aug., 9 encounter between Michael Brown and officer Darren Wilson ended in death, explosive violence, protest and another bout of national soul-searching about race.

The Justice Department still has two opportunities to bring criminal charges and overhaul the Ferguson Police Department in the case that grew from the police shooting of Michael Brown. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. launched a federal investigation in September of the Missouri city's police department to examine whether Ferguson officers routinely engaged in racial profiling or showed a pattern of excessive force. Investigators from Justice's civil rights division are reviewing the training officers receive on racial profiling and the use of force, including deadly force. Read full article >>

Former Washington defensive back Fred Smoot charged with domestic assault on girlfriendABC 7 News 2 hrs ago
ASHBURN, Va. (WJLA) -- Former Washington Redskins defensive back Fred Smoot has been arrested and charged with domestic assault. A woman told responding Loudoun County Sheriff's deputies shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday that Smoot, her boyfriend, injured her during a domestic dispute in the 21300 block of Victorias Cross Terrace. Smoot, 35, of Ashburn, was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault. After he was booked, he was released at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center. Smoot was drafted by Washington in the second round of the 2001 NFL draft, the 45th overall pick, after an All-American season at Mississippi State. He played for Washington from 2001-2004, Minnesota 2005-2006, and again for Washington 2007-2009. He was released by Washington in March 2010.

Support, opposition for Obama immigration move tied to ideologySkip Wood
ARLINGTON, Va. (WJLA) – Bravo, says liberal talk-show host Mark Levine of Alexandria. Boo-and-hiss, says conservative Corey Stewart, chairman of Prince William County's Board of Supervisors. Back and forth they went Monday on NewsChannel 8's NewsTalk, with their primary point of contention being President Obama's executive order last week that gives some 400 million undocumented immigrants – mostly Hispanic -- a temporary reprieve from deportation. It wasn't so much a debate as it was a regurgitation of talking points and ideology. Stewart, who helped make a name for himself by using an iron fist to crack down on illegal immigrants in his county, insisted that Obama "over-stepped his bounds." Levine, a nationally known pundit who tried but failed in his attempt to replace retiring Virginia congressman Jim Moran (D), insisted that "Republicans should get to work and pass a bill." Criminals appeared to be the crux of Stewart's concern. Obama indicated weeding out felons would be a top priority when determining who leaves and who stays. "There's a big difference between what the president says and what's happening on the ground," he said. ". . .Who they consider criminals are felons (yet) we have a whole series, in Prince William County alone, of people who have committed very serious misdemeanors, malicious wounding, sexual assault, domestic assault, indecent liberties with children. "Under the president's policy, those aren't considered serious crimes. . . They're not felonies but they certainly do endanger the public, and those people have been released by the president. . .and now provided sanctuary." Levine countered with the fact that the government doesn't have the funds for a fine-tooth comb. And besides. . . "The immigration law is already pretty harsh," he said. "People can be deported for using marijuana. It's that small of a violation, and so the answer is, if the Republicans don't like the specifics, they know what they can do. They can pass a law in the House." Stewart, meanwhile, pointed out he's glad the bipartisan immigration legislation passed by the Senate never came to a vote in the House, that it didn't do enough to ensure local enforcement. He also said the president is trying to "play Latinos" with his executive action. "He's counting on the fact this is somehow going to win the Latino vote in 2016 for Democrats," Stewart said. "I think they can see through it. I don't think it's going to have any lasting effect." email@example.com
Reflections on Marion Barry: Trailblazer who survived scandalSkip Wood
ARLINGTON, Va. (WJLA) – The mayor's former press secretary politely chuckled at first but then more or less donned a defensive scowl. Natalie Williams was in no mood to joke about the infamously swashbuckling style of her former boss, Marion Barry, during her panel appearance Monday on NewChannel 8's NewsTalk. The assembled, including host Bruce DePuyt, longtime Barry scribe/foil/admirer Harry Jaffe of the Washingtonian and ABC7 reporter Sam Ford, all duly noted the magnetic force and tangible impact Barry – who died this past weekend – had on the District. Elected in 1978 for his first term as D.C. mayor, Barry ostensibly – and single-handedly – transformed the city from the previous under-my-thumb whims of Congress. "Why did the white developers like him?," said Jaffe, co-author of the book 'Dream City,' "Marion Barry was a deal maker. The downtown of Washington was a backwater and nothing was going on. While Marion was mayor. . .it became vibrant. "He was that kind of a leader." Added Williams: "He made a very conscious decision to make sure. . .City Hall was reflective of the communities." Of course, there was the other stuff. The Vista hotel. The late-night carousing. The seeming indifference to paying taxes. And on and on. "Let's not forget the personal side – the man was a disaster," Jaffe said. "Why is our book kind of compelling to read? The lead character. Sex. Drugs. Alcohol. "He lived a life that unfortunately tarnished his role as a leader, as well, in his running of the government." Williams said she's disturbed by such rhetoric, and that "his work on behalf of the people never changed." Later she said she was in of a bit of "a difficult place" here. "I'm not here to talk about Marion Barry's self-destructions. . . He touched many people." As the Washington Post's lead editorial noted Monday in its headline: "The 'Mayor for Life' should be remembered for his trailblazing, not just his misdeeds." Yes, but. . . "You can't ignore the fact that his personal life affected his public life," Jaffe said. "The view of Washington, D.C. for many years was this is town awash with crack cocaine, and the mayor was addicted to crack cocaine, and it was true." Jaffe went on to say Barry successfully exploited his fierce following in Ward 8 to remain in power despite the scandals. And now? "The city has changed," he said. "Timing being what it is, he was powerful when he was needed as a leader, and then he became someone who was hard to listen to. "He was almost like your old uncle who sits at the dining room table and spouts off things."
UMD students protest against M16 rifles, armored truck on campusHorace Holmes
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WJLA) – As America awaits word of a grand jury decision in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., students at the University of Maryland are already demanding change that goes directly back to what happened in the St. Louis suburb this summer. On Monday, UMD students held a protest aimed at campus police and the Pentagon. They borrowed the chant of "Hands up! Don't shoot!" often heard in the streets of Ferguson. Students marched around the College Park campus, they say, in a show of solidarity to the people of Ferguson ahead of the grand jury's decision. "We can't just wait around for an incident like Ferguson to happen here before we protest," said student Oliver Owens. "There's a system in place that enables those sort of events and we need to respond." The students' response is to call for an end to what they say is the militarization of the campus police force. "I go to college here at the University of Maryland and I should not be policed by people with M16s," said Julian Ivey. "I don' think there's any reason to have an armored truck or shotguns on a college campus." The UMD Police Department has purchased nearly 50 M16 rifles and an armored vehicle through a Pentagon program that sells surplus U.S. military equipment. Students marched to the school's administration building to take their concerns to UMD President Wallace Loh. They were met by UMD Police Chief David Mitchell. "We have the M16s because we have nuclear material on campus and by federal law, we must be armed with these … weapons," he told students. "We only have the equipment we need to protect the campus. It's not used offensively." Still, students say their police force armed with military-style weapons has increased tensions on campus. "I don't feel safe here," said student Maya Fletcher. "I don't feel safe when I see a police officer come towards me." Chief Mitchell added that the M16 rifles and armored truck would only be used in extreme situations and promised to keep an open dialogue with students about the issue.

5 Tricks to Smell Gorgeous
The right fragrance can lift your mood, entice your guy, and boost a blah workday. Just follow these steps to find the best perfume for you.
By Kayleigh Donahue Hodes
Unless you work on, say, the Macy's beauty floor, you may wonder whether it's appropriate to wear fragrance to the office. After all, you don't want to be the coworker leaving a thick trail of tuberose in her wake. But stick with gentle or crisp fragrances and you'll be golden. "Studies show that people feel safe around the scent of baby powder, while the smells of green apple and cucumber help decrease anxiety," says Alan Hirsch, M.D., founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. For an understated option, DKNY Be Delicious, $70 for 3.4 oz, has notes of both green apple and cucumber. Or try Demeter Baby Powder (which smells exactly like a baby's clean skin), $20 for 1 oz.

The Alliance for Clinical Research Excellence and Safety (ACRES) has unveiled a scheme to create an integrated information-management platform designed to support clinical research worldwide.
ACRES President, Greg Koski, M.D., PhD, introduced the collaborative effort at the 17th International Conference on Pharmaceutical Medicine in Berlin. Under a memorandum of understanding, a group including HealthCarePoint, ViS Research, Forte Research Systems, ii4sm, Verified Clinical Trials and InnovoCommerce, along with three global standards organizations, CDISC, SAFE-BioPharma Association and CareLex, is forming a consortium to develop the new interface supporting the open access global network of clinical research sites currently being built by ACRES and others.
The project will include archiving and sharing of professional credentials and study-related documents, sharing of site-capability profiles and demographics for site-qualification assessments, online performance dashboard, risk-based quality management analytics and support, and cloud-based tools for workflow-facilitation, enhanced compliance, safety-reporting and monitoring.
Part of the ACRES Site-Optics and Quality Informatics (SOQI) initiative, it will integrate existing technologies and standards of consortium members, enabling fast-track development of a seamless, secure site-network interface supporting coordination and oversight of critical system activities by stakeholders, including sites, sponsors, regulatory agencies and service providers. The first component, a global site-registration platform, was launched in preliminary form last fall, powered by Vis Research and HealthCarePoint.
The project will be coordinated by Essex Management, a Connecticut-based IT consulting firm, and overseen by a project steering committee chaired by Dr. Stephen Rosenfeld, of Quorum IRB and former CIO of the NIH Clinical Center, and Peter Schiemann, managing partner at Widler-Schiemann QMS, a quality management consulting firm located in Basel.

These eyeshadows are good, especially when used with a primer. Colours are not too intense, but I guess that's what you get for this price. I recommend these for day wear

these are great, anyone that says they don't work/no pigment isn't using them right. WET THEM! THEY ARE BAKED EYESHADOWS! OR EVEN JUST PRIMER IT WORKS A CHARM!

This palette is amazing value for money! I was not sure it was going to be good given the price point, but i was proven wrong! It is equally as good as some of the heavy hitters in the cosmetic industry for a tiny fraction of the price. The colour stays well all day and is easy to apply.

How do I handle my feelings of failure for not breastfeeding?
I've tried exhaustively -- and unsuccessfully -- to breastfeed my baby. It was always a struggle, even after I got professional help. During my pregnancy I was so excited about the idea of breastfeeding. Now I feel like a failure, especially because of all the information out there about breast milk being best. What should I do?

Does "can't breastfeed" also mean "can't pump?"posted 09/02/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Don't beat yourself up. But if you really want to you can still give your child breast milk. My son was born with a birth defect that keep him from nursing. I pumped my milk for one year and fed it to him by bottle. That way I felt that he still got the nutrients and in my mind I "breastfed" him. Good luck.posted 09/02/2004 by Deb1024
Sarah-- I know you and most of the women on this posting do not intend to make anyone feel bad about not breastfeeding. However, there are a few people who have been condemning of those who don't breastfeed, and those are the ones I hoped to educate. And I'm sure many people think an inability to breastfeed is trivial and women should just get over it. But while it's nowhere near as painful as a miscarriage, it still strikes at the very heart and identity of a woman. Like it or not, we are partly defined by our ability to bear & nourish children. We may choose not to realize that function of our bodies by deciding not to have children. But finding that we can't perform those basic functions is a difficult emotional journey that only someone who has been there can fully understand. You have my sincere sympathy on the loss of your two babies. Thank you for sharing that with us. I know you're a kind person and a great mother.posted 09/02/2004 by jcailte
Don't beat yourself up! I also had problems breastfeeding my first son, and gave up after 3 weeks. With my second son, I was determined to make it work, and it has! We're going on 7 months strong, now, so problems with breastfeeding once don't mean you'll never be able to breastfeed. And incidentally, my 3-year old formula-fed son is a big, strong, healthy child with above-average intelligence. Your love and guidance are more valuable than breastmilk!posted 09/02/2004 by Linda23
Please don't beat yourself up over this! I tried and tried to breastfeed with my first little girl, and we just never got it together! I even pumped for several months before exhaustion set in from always feeding or pumping! She is a normal, healthy, well-adjusted little girl. I felt like a failure as well. Be assured that those emotions will pass as your child grows. Also, I have since had a second baby girl (almost 3 years apart) and breastfeeding has been relatively easy and natural(seven months of successful breastfeeding and going strong.) Every child and circumstance is different! Just relax and love being a new mommy! God Bless!posted 09/02/2004 by adkins04
Do not do this to yourself! I just went through the pain of not being able to breastfeed and have finally realized that I am a great mom in spite of it. I tried everything and finally had to accept that fact it wasn't going to happen for us. One of the biggest obstacles to acceptance was how public this very private struggle seemed to be. Isn't it funny that in a society where we won't discuss our salaries, strangers will stop you on the street and ask if you are nursing? Love, nurture, cuddle and feed your baby however you can and you will both thrive!posted 09/02/2004 by Kolyasmom
Anonymous, you are absolutely right. I just wanted to clarify that not everyone who is successful at breastfeeding is just because it came "so easy" for them. It is work. As far as baby's thriving, it also has a lot to do with mom's diet and genetics. I just urge women to be cautious because formula companies and sometimes doctors have their own agenda, that's all.posted 09/02/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Also, I want to share my experience with a pediatrician. My son was born at a birth center and weighed 8lbs. I saw the ped when he was 12 hrs old. First she chastised me for letting him sleep for four hours straight and not nursing him. He was born at midnight and ate throughout the night, when he slept, I thought I should let him. Babies generally wake up when they are hungry! Then she said he had lost a few ounces (they are supposed to do that) and I should supplement with formula, as my milk would not be enough to sustain him. My milk had not even come in yet, how could she predict that? Well I followed my instincts instead, and now my son, exclusively breastfed is 4 mos and weighs 21 lbs. and is almost 28 in.! (despite the latch on difficulties we had in the beginning!) Ha! Starving babies, please. Sometimes it can be a real issue. Mostly it is just a scare tactic, I think. Needless to say I found a new pediatrician.posted 09/02/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Jocelyn, Thank you! You even made me feel better! Take care!posted 09/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I, too, tried to breastfeed my daughter. While I was in the hospital my daughter nursed for hours. I thought...wow...this is easier than I thought! But, the funny thing was that she wasn't urinating. The nurses told me that my milk wasn't coming in. On the third/fourth/fifth day, I was still trying to get my milk to come in (trying to nurse her, but by this time, she didn't want to nurse since she wanted milk and she wasn't really getting it from me, and I was using the breastpump.) I went to my doctor in tears asking for something they could do to make my milk come in....but they said the only thing that would make it come in was to nurse more often. How can you nurse a hungry baby when she is getting nothing? I was so frustrated that I cried everyday which I'm sure didn't help. Finally, I gave up. I felt terrible, but I got over it. I tried. What was more important was the fact that I have a very healthy baby girl who needs her mommy to be SAIN and not worring about breatfeeding all of the time. I hope this helps. You are not a failure. Good luck.posted 09/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member

- Studio: Samuel Goldwyn Films
- Release Date: Dec 7, 2007
- Starring: Jason Statham, Ray Liotta
- Summary: Gambler and conman Jake Green always ran with a bad crowd, and it cost him seven years of his life when he took the rap for mean Dorothy Macha and wound up in jail. After his release, Jake becomes unbeatable at the tables using a formula for the ultimate con that he learned from two mysterious fellow prisoners. Now he is ready to take his revenge. Macha is plotting to eliminate his ruthless rival, Lord John, and has staked his credibility on a huge drug deal with the all-powerful Sam Gold. Jake visits Macha at his casino and humiliates him publicly in a game of chance. Macha, fearing more of the same medicine, sends his goons to "take care of" Jake. His life is saved by enigmatic Zach, who, with his equally inscrutable partner Avi, offers Jake protection. Against his better judgment, Jake accepts. He soon finds himself playing the very last game he wants to be playing, and there is danger at every turn. But the biggest danger of all comes from a totally unexpected source...

Good grindhouse fun until a last act that's like a meeting of a psychoanalysts' convention.
Definitely deserves points for trying to be something thought-provoking and different, but it doesn't really stand up to analysis and it comes off as a pretentious mess.
The movie butts up against the director's newfound pretensions -- pseudo-philosophical voice-over, psychobabble, faux-art-film plotting -- and turns incomprehensible.
The result is a film that's main crime is inducing stupefying boredom with little payoff in the end.
The movie's onslaught of psychobabble is the annoyance most likely to ruin your evening. Imagine getting stuck on a ski lift with Dr. Phil for nearly two hours.
Although it contains crime and absurdity, it's not thrilling or funny and the title doesn't refer to a gun.

May 13, 2012Everything in its place. Very few people will understand the depth of this one. I had to watch it three times myself to understand all of it (and I never had to watch a movie more than once before). Those who don't get it will target it's action scenes, plagiarism, philosophism and who knows what else. This is not Pulp Fiction. It's far better than that. Why? Because it has a deeper meaning. It is portraying the human EGO. Bear that in mind when reading the citations at the beginning of the movie.
Also, there are two versions. One of them is shorter and is absolute rubbish.… Expand

DannyH.Apr 15, 2008From the looks of what the payed critics said, it seems like the common theme is the film is extremely pretentious.

ColR.Dec 6, 2007This movie was released in the UK around 2 years ago. I actually assumed that it was considered so bad that it wasn't going to be released in North America. You lucky people! This is *without any shadow of a doubt* THE WORST movie ever. It makes ZERO sense, and is akin to what I would imagine being overdosed with LSD would feel like. Badly acted, horrendous script (really, WTF is going on?), "innovation" for the sake of it, rather than because it's a good idea. My god! Even thinking about the fact that I wasted my time and money on this utter, utter garbage is still really annoying to me 2 years after I originally watched it. I CANNOT give this movie a low enough score. Guy Ritchie should NEVER be allowed to make another movie as long as he lives - how the mighty have fallen! Seriously, avoid this movie as though it's carrying some kind of death-inducing, super-agonising illness that you could catch by looking at it. If you're reading this, Guy, I work in the creative industry too - if you want a movie which is at least 1000 times better than this, gimme a call and I'll show you how to do it properly. Eugh - I need to go and try to calm down a bit.… Expand

Have you heard of 18 USC 242? Well you should have.....
Police officers, prison guards and other government officials who improperly abuse the rights of individual Americans have long been recognized in federal law as a threat to society as a whole. That's why, immediately after the Civil War, Congress approved Title 18 USC 242 -- a statute making it a crime to deprive any person of their rights "under color of law."
But, as case-by-case Justice Department records make very clear, a law on the books does not always translate into a law that is enforced. In this particular case, for example, the latest available Justice Department data show that federal prosecutors declined to file charges against virtually all -- 98.7% -- of the individuals who the investigative agencies had concluded were in violation of 18 USC 242.

WARREN, Mich. – The body of a 100-year-old woman was found in her flooded condominium basement the day after heavy rain swamped much of the area, the mayor of a Detroit suburb said.
Warren Mayor James Fouts said the woman's daughter went to check on her welfare Tuesday and discovered the body. He said it appears the woman drowned.
The death is the second being blamed on storms that dumped 5.2 inches of rain Monday on Warren. A 30-year-old Sterling Heights woman suffered seizures and died after her vehicle became trapped in high water.
Fouts declared a local state of emergency Tuesday afternoon and asked Gov. Rick Snyder for help from the state. Fouts said about 1,000 vehicles had been abandoned in floodwaters in the suburb where many roads were closed.

Fatty Bear was a rather short-lived series of children's games made by Humongous Entertainment, which was later bought by Atari. Unlike most other franchises of the company, Fatty Bear lasted one adventure game and two spinoffs (though technically one since the other one was just an Updated Re-release). His games consisted of Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise, Fatty Bear's Fun Pack, and Putt-Putt & Fatty Bear's Activity Pack. He was also playable in Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon's minigame Bear Stormin' (which received a standalone release at one point). After those games, he was reduced to being a simple cameo character for other Humongous games. According to one of the original workers, the person who owned the rights to him had no interest in making any further games. Due to this, he eventually faded into obscurity, but his games, despite there being so few of them, are still well-known by the fanbase.The only main game in the series, Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise, centers around the character trying to prepare a birthday party for his owner. It goes well until he releases a puppy, who begins to cause trouble for everyone.
