FDA Approves YAZ Birth Control Pill Can to Treat Acne
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has ruled that the oral contraceptive YAZ can also be used by women to control moderate acne, the Associated Press reported..
The decision means that YAZ, made by Bayer Schering Pharma AG, is the first oral contraceptive to be approved by the FDA for three distinct uses, the drug maker said in a statement released Monday.
Along with birth control and acne treatment, YAZ is also approved in the United States to treat the physical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder, the AP reported.

FDA Approves Radiesse
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Radiesse, a cosmetic dermal filler, for the long-lasting correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds.
Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a water-based gel carrier. The product provides immediate improvement so a patient looks better the moment the product is injected. The calcium microsphere technology also enables the body to generate new collagen. Further, Radiesse provides physicians a high level of control, predictability and finesse for facial applications.
FDA approval of Radiesse for treatment of facial wrinkles and folds was based on the results of a clinical trial supporting Radiesse's safety and effectiveness. In this study, conducted at four medical centers in the United States, 117 patients with nasolabial folds were treated with Radiesse on one side of the face and a control agent (Cosmoplast, a human collagen product) on the other. Results based on the ratings of three blinded evaluators showed that six months after treatment, Radiesse was more effective than the control on every comparative efficacy outcome (p<0.0001).
Key clinical findings include:
· 82 percent of nasolabial folds treated with Radiesse showed improvement after six months. This was significantly higher than the control, which showed improvement in only 27 percent of treated folds (p<0.0001).
· After six months, the fold treated with Radiesse was more improved in 79 percent of patients compared to the control-treated fold. The folds treated with the control rated more improved in only 5 percent of patients.
· The nasolabial folds treated with Radiesse required approximately half as much volume (1.22cc) than the folds treated with the control (2.35cc).
· Both products were safe and well tolerated, with no serious adverse events reported. In the 117 patients treated, Radiesse had zero granulomas and the same low rate of nodules as the control.
Cosmetic Wrinkle Filler Approved
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new treatment for moderate-to-severe frown lines, medically called nasolabial folds.
BioForm Medical issued a statement describing its Radiesse as a longer-lasting alternative to existing wrinkle fillers. The company said its calcium-based microsphere technology not only fills in facial folds and depressions, but also stimulates the body to produce collagen, the fibrous protein that gives the face its structure and fullness.
The drug was also newly approved to improve the appearance of people with AIDS-causing HIV who have significant facial fat loss (lipoatrophy), the San Mateo, Calif.-based company said.
Radiesse was first FDA approved in 2002 for use in facial reconstructive surgery.

New Study Finds Allergy-Like Reaction May Trigger Rosacea Bumps and Pimples
The bumps (papules) and pimples (pustules) of rosacea, a poorly-understood facial disorder affecting an estimated 14 million Americans, may be the result of an allergy-like reaction to environmental and emotional triggers, according to new study results presented at the National Rosacea Society (NRS) research workshop during the annual meeting of the Society for Investigative Dermatology and reported in Rosacea Review.
"We are very excited about these findings because they may provide the basis for improving the treatment and management of this condition," said Dr. Richard Gallo, chief of the division of dermatology at the University of California-San Diego and lead investigator of the NRS-funded study. "By defining the process leading to the inflammation, new medications might be developed to block these effects."
Dr. Gallo explained that when the normal immune system is faced with any of a broad range of potential dangers—such as sun exposure, emotional stress, heat and spicy foods, among many others—receptors recognize potential threats and protect the body by prompting the production of protective substances that isolate and neutralize any harmful effects. With rosacea, however, these protective substances turn the body on itself like overzealous guards, leading to inflammation.
Using advanced mass spectrometry technology to analyze the biochemical composition of proteins in rosacea patients, the researchers discovered an abnormality in the production of protective molecules known as cathelicidins, Dr. Gallo said. In normal patients, the cathelicidins are found in a form that is inactive and would not lead to bumps and pimples. In rosacea patients, the forms of cathelicidins are different and lead to skin inflammation. The cause of this abnormality in cathelicidins seems to be due to an equally important problem in rosacea—an overabundance of yet another substance, called kallikrein, which can spur dormant cathelicidins into action.
"It appears that the combination of these two substances at abnormally high levels is a double whammy for rosacea patients," Dr. Gallo noted.
The researchers recently completed the picture when they were able to demonstrate that this process is linked to the actual formation of rosacea signs and symptoms. The skin of mice injected with the cathelicidins found in rosacea patients showed a dramatic inflammatory response—including bumps and pimples—while mice injected with normal cathelicidins showed no inflammation, either visually or under a microscope.
"The next step is to test these findings in human subjects through various therapeutic interventions," Dr. Gallo said. "As we gain a thorough understanding in humans, we can look for new medications that block this process in order to treat or prevent the inflammation associated with rosacea."
Rosacea is a chronic disorder that primarily affects the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead, and is often characterized by flare-ups and remissions. It typically begins as a flushing or redness that comes and goes, and visible blood vessels may also appear. Inflammatory bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases, the nose may become swollen and enlarged from excess tissue.
In addition to long-term medical therapy to bring the condition under control and maintain remission, patients are advised to keep a diary to identify and avoid lifestyle and environmental factors that may affect their individual cases. Some of the most common rosacea triggers include sun exposure, emotional stress, hot or cold weather, wind, heavy exercise, alcohol, hot baths and spicy foods.

Drug-resistant Acne Runs in the Family
An antibiotic-resistant acne germ can spread among family members, Swedish researchers find.
The germ is Propionibacterium acnes. Skin colonized by P. acnes tends to erupt into the blotches and pustules of acne. Since the 1960s, doctors have fought P. acnes with antibiotics. The bug fought back. It's now common to find P. acnes strains resistant to several common antibiotics.
Doctors hoped that the only people carrying the drug-resistant acne bugs would be patients on long-term antibiotic therapy. That isn't the case, find Carl Eric Nord, MD, PhD, and colleagues at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
Nord and colleagues took skin samples from 10 acne patients, all on antibiotic therapy, and from two close family contacts of each patient. Twelve healthy, acne-free volunteers -- who were not taking antibiotics and did not have family members with acne -- served as a comparison group.
Nord and colleagues found that nearly half of the family members carried drug-resistant acne bacteria on their skin. Genetic analysis showed that these family members carried the same strain of P. acnes as the acne patient among them.
The good news is that the family members fought off the drug-resistant germs -- but only after the acne patient in their family stopped using antibiotics.
On the other hand, you apparently can't avoid drug-resistant acne germs by avoiding people with acne. A third of the healthy comparison group also carried drug-resistant P. acnes on their skin.
Nord reported the findings at last week's 46th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, held Sept. 27-30 in San Francisco.

Botox Reduces Facial Scarring
Botox injections can help facial wounds heal with less scarring, a small study finds.
"This is the first medication found to minimize scarring," senior author Dr. David Sherris, professor and chair of the department of otolaryngology at the University at Buffalo, said in a prepared statement.
His team published the study in the August issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
The study included 31 patients who suffered wounds to the forehead or had surgery to remove skin cancers from the forehead, an area that's particularly susceptible to scarring. The patients received either an injection of Botox or saline within 24 hours after wound closure.
Photographs were taken at the time the patients received the injections and again six months later. The photographs were reviewed by two facial plastic surgeons who weren't involved in the study. They rated the patients' wound healing on a scale of zero to 10, with 10 representing the best result. The two surgeons' scores were averaged to reach a final score for each patient.
The median scores for wounds injected with Botox were 8.9, compared to 7.1 for wounds injected with saline.
"The result is of substantial interest in the field of scar treatment. When a wound occurs, especially on the face, people are always worried about the scar. We can now try to improve scars with these injections," Sherris said.
The study was funded by a clinical research grant from the Mayo Clinic.

A memorable destination wedding is usually followed by a less expensive home dinner or picnic event with extended friends and coworkers when they get back home.
Eureka Springs offers the beautiful Northwest Arkansas Ozark mountains, rivers and lakes as a fairy tale backdrop to both formal and informal wedding events. From long formal bridal gowns with fresh flowers, towering wedding cakes and fabulous foods to the very informal lakeside "flipflops and tank top" cupcake ceremonies, everyone can find their perfect venue and style in beautiful Eureka Springs. From the spectacular Thorncrown Chapel with crystal clear glass walls or a small quaint Victorian village chapel, a scenic vista overlooking the White River valley or even one of the many natural springs snuggled behind a quaint bed and breakfast garden, Eureka Springs has the perfect venue for every bride and groom. How about a rehearsal dinner on the only rolling dinner trolley in Arkansas? Cafe Roulant is Eureka's newest dining attraction and wedding celebration trolley! The options are endless.
Bed and Breakfast Inns of Eureka Springs can provide the ultimate in intimate lodging for families and bridal parties. Check out the special rates and pricing for group lodging – the Bed and Breakfast Inns of Eureka Springs (BABIES) offers group rates for wedding parties where the close friends and families can enjoy the celebration over a gourmet breakfast or on a summer garden patio.

A number of high quality bed and breakfasts with years of experience hosting wedding parties and celebrations can be found on www.RelaxEureka.com.
If you're planning your destination wedding, Eureka Springs is the place to plan and celebrate your special wedding journey!
Experience the exhilarating thrill of a Zip Line Canopy Tour right in the heart of the beautiful, pristine Ozark Mountains at Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Soar through the air from up to 300+ feet high with cable lengths up to 2400 feet long over vast gorgeous, beautiful Ozark hardwood trees and limestone cliffs.

Their trained staff will operate and deliver 2 hours of fun per tour for any persons 3 years of age or older. They offer their services to single parties, couples or groups of any kind.
From a structural standpoint, the tree top canopy tour is a system of cables and platforms, wherein the participant "zips" through the treetops while connected to a secure cable harness and a safety strap. Wooden platforms suspended by cables serve as a landing base in each tree that you "zip" to and from on some cables and for others they launch from limestone cliffs with on-ground platforms. No wooden towers here! All natural and minimal hiking on clear-cut trails, finishing up at the bottom of the gorge where a heated or air-conditioned bus is waiting ready with beverages and smiling faces to take you back to the welcome center just minutes away.
About Ozark Mountain Ziplines:

Ozark Mountain Zip Line's hardwood forest canopy tour has its own bird, plant, and animal life, which their guided tour is designed to introduce you to as you glide along from tree to tree!
Their experience derives from 20 years of building & operating Zip Lines all over the world from as far south as Costa Rica, Ecuador, and all over the Continental United States and Canada. Their equipment and cables are inspected regularly as they always adhere to the highest of safety standards.
Cost: $89.00 + tax per person (Group/Family Rates available!)

The day before our dinner Tom posted the menu online so we could choose between three different entries. He has partnered with some great restaurants around town to provide the food for his lunches and dinners. Restaurants like DeVitos, FRESH Farm to Table Fresh, and he has mentioned starting up with the Cottage Inn and other locations around town.
For our meal, he had chosen FRESH Farm to Table Fresh. One of us had Home Made Meat Loaf with Mushroom Gravy and Honey-Lime Whipped Sweet Potatoes on a bed of Sautéed Spinach. It was incredible, the meatloaf just popped with a mouthful of flavor!! Our other selection was Charred Steak over Linguini, with Blistered Tomatoes, Garlic and fresh Basil & Arugula all Sautéed in a special sauce. Our meals started with a crisp salad as we left the parking lot. By the time we finished that, we had arrived at the restaurant where our food was brought on board and served. Then we sat back, enjoyed the food and watched the town roll by. Dessert was served and we headed back to the starting point of the dining experience. You can bring your own wine if you want and reservations are required.
So if you're looking for something special and different for Valentines, this is just the ticket. And for a fabulous and unforgettable stay, be sure to pick a truly wonderful and unique bed and breakfast for your romantic getaway.
And it's very, very quiet. That is preferable for a lot of folks who don't like the crowds and the noise that a busy festival weekend can bring during the season. From about mid-December on into March, the crowds are gone. You can discover all kinds of hidden gems! There are restaurants, spas, galleries and shops open. Turpentine Creek, our wonderful wildlife refuge just outside of town, is open every day of the year except Christmas. Olden Days Carriage Rides run on winter weekends (depending on weather and temps), which can be an awesome way to see the historic downtown, tucked away under a heated blanket with something hot to drink. Cafe Roulant, a new "rolling cafe" will be operating during winter (this is new in 2013). Ghost tours continue in winter. Nightclubs and bars are still open, with music humming. Visit the Eureka Springs Historical Museum. Go over to the world-class Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville (a one-hour, scenic drive). Take a van tour around Eureka Springs and learn its history as you travel in a cozy, warm vehicle.
If none of those ideas get you here, just think about coming to "chill out" – a nice lunch or dinner out with your loved one, followed by a cozy movie or game in front of your private fireplace. A warm Jacuzzi bath, a glass of wine – all in the privacy and comfort of your bed and breakfast. That's all you really need to do. And we have some of the best B&Bs in the state of Arkansas. Just come see for yourself. Check us out at RelaxEureka.com. You'll find the secret of the "Secret Season" in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
On Nov 7, 8 , 9, and 10 we call forth Food and Wine Weekend. Most fine dining restaurants prepare a special meal with a coordinated wine that many of us can enjoy.
On Nov 9 you may want to take part in the Saturday gallery stroll in downtown art galleries. Many of the galleries have the artist displaying their works along with hors doeurves and – of course – wine.
Nov 16 and 17 we have the Fall Antique Show. This is an especially exciting display of hand-made items from the finest collection you can imagine, from aprons to bird houses, and cabinets. Come see the local talent that we have right here in our very own town. The show is at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks in the converntion center and runs through Sunday also.
We would like to invite you (in case you haven't heard our amazing community chorus) to a lovely evening of beautiful music. In November the concert is on Nov 16 at the Holiday Island Ballroom, 4:00 pm; December 12 at the Crescent Hotel at 6:30 pm, and the grand concert of them all is on December 14 in the Auditorium at 7:30. The music is unbelievable and the grand finale will be the chorus, plus choirs from many churches, school choirs and bands, and anyone in the audience who wants to sing. If everyone takes part, we will have over 1000 voices joining in the Hallelujah Chorus. This will be a moving event for all. Tickets available from any chorus member, or you may call Judie Lockhart at 888-624-6787.
We have quite a few restaurants in Eureka Springs that will be open Thanksgiving Day and offer a special feast, so don't let that stop you from visiting.
Don't forget the Christmas Sweet Treats Cookie Tour coming up on Dec 14, presented by the Bed and Breakfast Inns of Eureka Springs. Come enjoy fellowship, beautiful decorations and of course, SWEET TREATS. You get two samples at each of the nine different Victorian Bed and Breakfasts and the recipes. You'll enjoy tours of each B&B, all decorated up for the holidays in their finest.
If you want to make the most of your time in Eureka Springs, take a carriage ride. You can actually look at all the glorious decorations and leave the driving to Michael, Hank, Blondie and Seymour. (Seymour will be debuting in the spring).
Make your time extra special in Eureka Springs. Come see us for the holidays.
A early Merry Christmas to all!]]>
The first big event of the month will be our annual Corvette Weekend, which draws more than a thousand of these classic American sports cars every year. Car shows, exhibits, and parades will be springing up all over town October 3rd through 6th.
Also that weekend, the Eureka Springs Rotary Club will be holding their fund-raising Oktoberfest from 11am-5pm on Saturday, the 5th, in the parking lot adjacent to the historic Eureka Springs Courthouse. Come join in the fun with micro-brews, seasonal beers, food & music.
Moving from the fermented to the cerebral, October 10th through 12th will find the literati at the Carnegie Public Library's Fall book sale. Dedicated readers can stock up on sacks-full of books for pennies on the dollar while helping support one of the only Carnegie-endowed public libraries in the state.
Continuing the theme, the same weekend also brings us the 46th Annual Ozark Creative Writers Conference on the 10th through 13th. Editors, writers, and publishers will speak and facilitate discussion panels. And, as if the weekend weren't quite busy enough, October 12th will also be the season's final edition of our Second Saturday Music in the Park series with a free performance in Basin Spring Park by The Cleverlys from 3pm-5pm as well as another perennial favorite, the Gallery Stroll, from 6pm to 9pm. Stroll through downtown, visit galleries and artists, and enjoy the array of styles and genres of a town known world-wide for its arts and artists.
On the weekends of the 17th & 18th and the 25th & 26th, the Eureka Springs Historical Museum will be presenting Voices from the Silent City, a guided tour of our historic cemetery with costumed characters portraying many of Eureka's more notable (and sometimes scandalous) early citizens. Always entertaining, educational, and family-friendly (and not the least bit scary), this is another popular favorite with many of our visitors.
Dedicated – or even casual – craft fair denizens hardly need to be told about the War Eagle Craft Fair. From humble beginnings, War Eagle has grown into an enormous regional event which now draws visitors and exhibitors from all over the country and has spawned several more equally large fairs around the area on the same weekend. Put on your walking shoes and plan to see it all – October 17th through 20th.
The 23rd through the 26th bring us to the 66th Original Ozark Folk Festival – America's longest continually-running celebration of Ozarks music and culture. From the Barefoot Ball (begun as a stunt on the old Truth or Consequences radio show), to the Queen Contest, to two full days of free music and folkways demonstrations in Basin Spring Park to Saturday night's WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour shows in the Auditorium, all the art forms of the hills will be on full display.
If Folk isn't your bag, there are still a couple of options for you that weekend. On Friday the 25th, the Eureka Springs School of the Arts will be hosting their 11th Annual Mad Hatter's Ball at the Crescent Hotel from 7pm-11pm. Great fun for a great cause. Don't forget your outrageously decorated hat; it's required. Finally, on the 26th, Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge will hold their 18th Annual Howl-O-Ween Spooktacular from 7pm to 9pm with games, food, and a children's costume contest providing fun for all ages.
Of course, all of this presupposes that you're looking for something more to do over and above the activities, shopping, dining, and entertainment options Eureka Springs has to offer every day. Perhaps it would be just as pleasurable to curl up on the porch of your B&B with a cup of tea and a good book. Not to worry – Eureka Springs offers it all.

My grandson has practically lived the first 6 weeks of this life in the pack and play. We keep it in the living room and we can see him at all times from the kitchen. There is a soothing recording for sleep time and easy to change right next door. Diapers and storage for new outfits underneath. I just love it!
If your baby is over 8lbs, the rocking seat will be too small for them. My little guy only got to sleep in there for 6 nights before he was too long to fit. Longer or bigger babies get their neck pressed downward while in the rocking seat so as a safety measure I took it out and my baby sleeps in the bassinet part of the pack 'n play. I do love the music and lights but my little guy hates the vibrations, they are a little intense for a newborn. I love this product and would buy it again if need be.
i thought the meaning of overstock was to save on items, this item is priced the same in the target stores.
I bought this because I had a first grand baby arriving soon. He's here and this is working out perfect. Great quality and pretty easy to assemble. I will use be able to use this newborn to 2 or 3 years old. Love it
Great price on Overstock for the same one my daughter had picked out at Babies R Us.

Though Peter Samelson studied physics at Stanford University, he quickly realized that his real passion lay in theater and magic. Since then, he has traveled the world and worked on movies and television creating illusions and putting on magic shows. "The thing that sets me apart from other magicians is that I tend to tell a lot of stories," he says. "It's not just a show of tricks, but a show about the human heart and our experience as people."
From small-scale miracles that take only a wine glass and some coins to larger tricks involving the audience, Samelson combines the surprise of illusion and seemingly impossible feats with theatrical stories of love and laughter. "It invites people to step beyond trying to figure out how these magical mysteries work and to find ways that this might speak to them — the way a beautiful piece of music might, or a great piece of art," he says.
735 Park St.
Castle Rock, CO 80104

Samelson will make magic today and tomorrow at the Theatre of Dreams Arts & Event Center, 735 Park Street in Castle Rock. For tickets, $22.50, call 303-660-6799; for information, visit amazingshows.com.

Declaring their business "The Husker Bar" made perfect sense to the new owners of Barry's, but the bar owners forgot to check whether the University of Nebraska would mind.
That decision is proving costly now because the sports bar a few blocks away from campus is redoing all of its shirts, glassware and signage.
One of the bar's co-owners, Kevin Fitzpatrick, says he was surprised when he received a letter asking him to drop the Husker tagline at Barry's because there are so many businesses in Lincoln that use Husker somewhere in their names.
But Fitzpatrick learned that officials at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln don't want the school to be associated with a bar or restaurant.

For beauty is ok, first step is fine the second step to high.
Love this bed step! It is strong, stable and beautiful. More than satisfied with the purchase.
Bed is very high; needed assistance to get in and out of bed; the steps are perfect; color blends with other furniture in bedroom
The bedside steps are very nice looking and of good quality. Easy to assemble. Just what I needed as our bed is higher than average and I need the extra little boost that these steps provide. They are very sturdy as well.
The guest room bed is high so I bought the stool for shorter guests. I do like it very much but the screws were too short to put it together. Had to go buy new screws.

Quick Take: For years, I've been urging utilities to become more vocal. To communicate with regulators and ratepayers in advance of new projects to explain the benefits to customers. And, especially, to talk about the kind of future they want to see for themselves. With jurisdictions such as Hawaii and New York publicly discussing ways to reinvent utilities, it's time for utilities to speak up.
That's why I was pleased to hear that PNM has begun speaking up about the future of renewables in New Mexico. In the face of environmental protesters at its recent shareholders' meeting, it is trying to explain that renewables have costs and challenges.
You don't have to agree with PNM's position to agree that it's a good thing when utilities explain their side of the story. – Jesse Berst
Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) says it is committed to renewable energy, but not at any cost and not at the expense of grid reliability.
Environmentalists want the utility to replace lost power from a (partially) retiring coal plant with 100% renewable energy. PNM says it will replace some of it with solar, and the rest with either natural gas or nuclear. It claims it is balancing the desire for renewables with the need for affordability and reliability.
Pat Vincent Collawn is Chairman, President and CEO of PNM parent PNM Resources. She told the Albuquerque Journal that "measured but significant steps forward are a better approach than an all-or-nothing change that doesn't fully consider the potential for unintended consequences. We live in a poor state, and cost is a concern for most of those we serve. And while the costs are coming down, renewable generation technology is still expensive on a large scale, and too much can reduce reliability."
PNM is already adding lots of renewables to comply with the New Mexico's renewable portfolio standard. It brought the state's first geothermal electric plant online in 2014. It expects to double its wind capacity in 2015 and have 100 MW of solar on the grid by 2016.
Jesse Berst is the founder and Chief Analyst of SGN and Chairman of the Smart Cities Council, an industry coalition.

That's right, it's a black-and-white theater—as in black, and white. No gradients of gray. In fact, the whole house is like this. Just outside the theater is a black-and-white game room, a black-and-white bar area and a black-and-white exercise room. Elsewhere in the house, there's a zebra suite (enough said), a black-and-white living room complete with a black-and-white globe, and a black-and-white puzzle room.
Get the very high-contrast picture? We thought you would. It's pretty black and white. (Sorry. Couldn't resist.)
North Carolina homeowners Ray and Shelley bought this contempo southwestern-style home, and upon entering, noticed that everything was done in white. So the couple decided to go with it. They also own a Florida condo that Ray says is just the opposite, decked out in bright colors. He jokes that when they get bored with one place, they hop on a plane and fly to the other.
"Living here is a lot of fun," Ray says. "We're on top of a hill and we have mountains outside, so when we get sick of looking on the inside, we look outside. There's so much color outside, we don't really miss it on the inside."
A lot of the house was already decorated when Ray and Shelley called Harmony Interiors in Asheville, NC, to install some home entertainment systems and a home theater. "We had an unfinished basement we wanted to turn into a fun area. We came up with a home theater, wine cellar, big game room and a bar," says Ray.
The instructions to Harmony's Scott Varn? You guessed it: black and white, no gray. Once Varn entered the house, he realized how strict those criteria would be. He still didn't think it would be that challenging, until he and his team started working on the designs. "If you do too much black and white, your eyes start popping out. Everything becomes a zebra, and when you move your head, you can create unwanted illusions," he says.
Because there would be no gray, the solution was to use different finishes of black, like gloss and matte, which stand out against each other in the light. Three pieces of wood were used on the columns, and the layering helped achieve some depth and variety. Atop some of the columns aren't lights, but polished white alabaster stone illuminated by ceiling lights above.
A powerful JBL Synthesis Three System is tucked into the space, with the front left and right speakers behind the grille cloths flanking the screen and the center channel behind the acoustically transparent 106-inch Draper screen. Beneath the screen, the stage doubles as a hiding place for the audio/video components and two subwoofers. The stage rack is vented into a room beneath an adjoining staircase. Four surround speakers are cut into the Acoustic First acoustic panels on the side walls and remain invisible behind the wall fabric, to round out the 7.2 speaker system.
Theater-goers can relax in white leather Cineak Fortuny recliners when appreciating the picture from the JVC 3-panel 1080p D-ILA (Direct-drive Image Light Amplifier) projector. D-ILA is a variant of LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon), which is sort of a cross between DLP and LCD technology, offering a smooth, filmlike picture. "So, um, Scott, … we almost hate to ask, but how are the blacks?"
"The blacks are fine on this," Varn says. "It's a great projector, and the picture is as good as any I've seen. It's not a very bright projector though, so any ambient light will wash it out. But this is a dark room."
He's got that right. In fact, a black-walled room is a home theater aficionado's dream, reflecting virtually no light back onto the screen. We never thought we'd see it.Facebook and Twitter.

City Museum Plants Forest on Third Floor
By Aimee Levitt
Used CDs are everywhere: pawnshops, garage sales, flea markets, eBay. You can spend weeks scouring the town, or you can just go to Vintage Vinyl. Although the store's got a healthy supply of new and a decent supply of used vinyl, its emphasis is obviously CDs at this point, and the place is jammed with thousands priced under five bucks. Most important, there's stuff you want, even if someone else didn't. The bargain bins, often sorted by genre, provide the best way to fill in a country or R&B collection, and because used titles are also mixed in with new discs, you can be pleasantly surprised to find that $14.99 R.E.M. album for a mere eight bucks. Although the selection of new CDs has always been a few steps short of great, the staff remains the most knowledgeable in town. Yes, they've got a reputation for snobbery, but they've lightened up and these days are helpful, even (gasp) friendly, as illustrated by their forgiving and fair return policy.

(((Phoenix1 & son)))
"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson
"She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak!" ~ Homer Simpson
We are ALL behind you, Phoenix. We are all holding you.
There just aren't words, but I want you to know you're in my thoughts and I'm hoping you get good news soon.
Praying and praying.
Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.
~Robert Louis Stevenson
As some have speculated, no he did not just go dark. His motorcycle was found today along with his helmet, neatly parked with plenty of fuel left in the tank to get him back to the base when he was done. Once they found the bike they brought in dogs. The dogs followed his scent for about an hour then lost it. He is an AVID runner, and putting in 15 miles is just a warm up for him. The last cell ping came in around 3 in the morning last night, and his cell is now dead. Unfortunately, that ping had an accuracy of about a 7-mile radius, which is a lot of ground. Another round of dogs are being brought out tomorrow morning before people move into the area, then search teams will move in at 9. Dozens are Army soldiers are going to be here tomorrow to supplement the volunteer searchers. They have been using thermal cameras on a plane with no results and hope to bring in a helo tomorrow. Weather may be problematic is it is supposed to rain tomorrow.
I am sick to my stomach with worry and heartache. Can't eat, can't sleep. Been up since Saturday at 2:00 a.m. Haven't eaten in two days as it makes me physically ill. Feel totally helpless, just as I have been feeling the past three weeks with bro and SIL. If the media puts two and two together they will be all over this and that circus will begin again. My brain is just all over the place.
I am on the edge right now. My father is a wreck. We are all just having trouble wrapping our brains around this. I am at my limit but trying to hold it together for my girls. This just can't be happening. I feel like I have been in a living nightmare for almost a month now, and I can't wake up. I.JUST.CAN'T.TAKE.ANY.MORE!!! My baby is out there!
This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man ~ Shakespeare, Hamlet
Knight and I are praying specifically for your DS to be somewhere safe, waiting to be found; that he is being comforted and ministered to by angels. We are praying for the right searchers and rescuers to be guided to just the right place for his benefit. We are praying for peace and comfort for you and your family. That you will be reunited with your son soon and your relationship will be strengthened because of this trial.
I wish we could all be there in person helping to search and bring your baby back to you safe and sound.
I'm here. I've been thinking and praying for y'all all night.
I edit often because I make a lot of typos. ☺
If this isn't what I consider soulmate crap, I don't know what is.
there really are just no words.
Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future. -foulton oursler

SAN FRANCISCO – Throughout California's desperately dry Central Valley, those with water to spare are cashing in.
As a third parched summer forces farmers to fallow fields and lay off workers, two water districts and a pair of landowners in the heart of the state's farmland are making millions of dollars by auctioning off their private caches.
Nearly 40 others also are seeking to sell their surplus water this year, according to state and federal records.
Economists say it's been decades since the water market has been this hot. In the last five years alone, the price has grown tenfold to as much as $2,200 an acre-foot – enough to cover a football field with a foot of water.
Unlike the previous drought in 2009, the state has been hands-off, letting the market set the price even though severe shortages prompted a statewide drought emergency declaration this year.
The price spike comes after repeated calls from scientists that global warming will worsen droughts and increase the cost of maintaining California's strained water-supply systems.
Some water economists have called for more regulations to keep aquifers from being depleted and ensure the market is not subject to manipulation such as that seen in the energy crisis of summer 2001, when the state was besieged by rolling blackouts.
If you have a really scarce natural resource that the state's economy depends on, it would be nice to have it run efficiently and transparently, said Richard Howitt, professor emeritus at the University of California, Davis.
Private water sales are becoming more common in states that have been hit by drought, including Texas and Colorado.
In California, the sellers include those who hold claims on water that date back a century; private firms extracting groundwater; and landowners who stored water when it was plentiful in underground caverns known as water banks.
This year, the market is unbelievable, said Thomas Grecie, general manager of the Madera Irrigation District, which recently made nearly $7 million from selling about 3,200 acre-feet. And this is a way to pay our bills.
All of the district's water went to farms. The city of Santa Barbara, which has its own water shortages, was outbid.
The prices are so high in some rural pockets that water auctions have become a spectacle.
One agricultural water district amid the almond orchards and derrick fields northwest of Bakersfield recently announced it would sell off extra water it acquired through a more than century-old right to use flows from the Kern River.
Local TV crews and journalists flocked to the district's office in February to watch as manager Maurice Etchechury unveiled bids enclosed in about 50 sealed envelopes before the cameras.
Now everyone's mad at me, saying I increased the price of water. I didn't do it; the weather did it, said Etchechury, who manages the Buena Vista Water Storage District, which netted about $13.5 million from the auction of 12,000 acre-feet of water.

Rafael Montero: What to expect from the Mets prospect
Rafael Montero, one of the top pitching prospects in the Mets organization, makes his major league debut in a start against the Yankees on Wednesday night.
Here's what you can expect to see from the 6-foot righthander:
Montero's calling card is his excellent command. In 390 minor league innings, he's struck out 367 hitters and walked 85 -- a 4.32 strikeout to walk ratio.He's uncharacteristically walked 18 in 41.2 innings in Triple-A this season (with 41 strikeouts), but when he's on his game, he's not going to give any bases away for free.
So if Montero won't walk hitters... how do they fare hitting against him? Not well. He's allowed 317 hits in 390 innings and his minor league WHIP is 1.03. Typically a starting pitcher will have a WHIP somewhere between 1.20 and 1.30. A very good reliever will be near 1.00. Montero achieves the best of both worlds, limiting hitters like a reliever, but enduring over a longer span.
In his 390 innings, Montero has allowed a total of 19 home runs. That's all the more impressive when you consider where he's pitched recently. The Las Vegas 51s, the Mets' Triple-A affiliate, play in the Pacific Coast League. The 51s home park is known for being a pitcher's version of purgatory (or worse) and the PCL is generally regarded as an offensive league. Still, Montero, in 131.1 innings, has allowed only seven home runs. He also permitted just 115 hits. For comparison, Zack Wheeler pitched 68.2 innings for Las Vegas and allowed nine home runs.
Montero uses a fastball, changeup and slider. The first two are his best pitches, according to Baseball America, and his fastball sits in the low 90s, though it can reach 95 mph on occasion.
Montero is highly regarded for his demeanor on the mound with Baseball America going so far as to note that despite Montero's small frame, "his plus-plus command and poise are such assets that he defies convention."
Here are some videos of Montero at work:

Tuition Fruition
So when her son Andy started college four years ago, she braced herself for tuition sticker shock. Two years later, her daughter Lisa also enrolled in a private college in New England. At both institutions, tuition currently is more than $30,000 a year.
Then, in July 2002, Rosenthal found substantial relief when the Hospital, along with the JH Health System Corporation, announced that, like the University, it would offer the dependent child tuition plan to employees. This past June, the Hospital even extended the benefit to the approximately 1,700 employees who are members of the Service Employees International Union 1199E-DC (SEIU). In doing so, Hopkins Hospital, along with Bayview Medical Center, joined the ranks of very few organizations in the nation that extend a dependent tuition benefit to union members.
The coveted perk pays for up to one-half of tuition at any accredited college in the United States, as long as that amount doesn't exceed half of that year's tuition at Johns Hopkins University. Undergraduate tuition at JHU this academic year is $30,140, so employees may receive up to $15,070 per year per child. To qualify, employees at both the University and Hospital need two years of continuous service and full-time status.
The Hospital's offer evolved out of the nursing shortage. "With workforce shortages and agency nurses draining our coffers, Hopkins had to do something monumental," says Mary Carole Kirkpatrick, director of health and welfare for the JHHSC/JHH Department of Human Resources. "We didn't feel it would be fair to offer the perk just to nurses, so it was extended to all employees."
The money spent on dependent tuition is more than made up for by retention, Kirkpatrick says. Indeed, in its first year, the dependent tuition program resulted in a total of 72 nurses becoming full-time employees and agency nurses becoming JHH employees, saving the institution $3.13 million. Many part-time Hopkins nurses also started working full time in order to qualify for the benefit.
Employee response from all departments has been overwhelming. "People call all the time to tell us how much they appreciate the benefit," says benefits coordinator Sharonda Purnell. In fact, the week the benefit was announced, she answered more than 100 calls. Roughly 400 dependent children per semester are taking advantage of the offering.
Kirkpatrick figures employees enticed by the perk will stay at Hopkins for at least several more years, including two to qualify for it and up to four more for college. An employee with more than one child is likely to stay longer. "You can be sure I'm sticking around," says Rosenthal. "It's like they just gave me a huge raise."

Man denies leaving scene of a crashOctober 01,2013Man denies leaving
scene of a crash
A Rutland man denied charges of leaving the scene of a crash after police said they found his cellphone in the crashed vehicle.
Shayne T. Barrett, 23, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of careless or negligent operation of a vehicle and leaving the scene of a crash.
The charges are both misdemeanors and carry a combined maximum penalty of three years in prison.
On the evening of Aug. 17, according to affidavits filed with the court, Rutland City Police responded to Allen Street for a report of a vehicle striking a utility pole. When police responded, they found a crashed pickup and a damaged utility pole, but no driver, records state.
A search of the vehicle revealed empty beer cans, an opened bottle of Jim Beam bourbon whiskey and a cellphone belonging to Barrett, affidavits state.
Police later interviewed Barrett, who denied drinking prior to the crash and told police he had crashed while trying to answer his phone, and fled the scene because his vehicle was emitting smoke, according to court records.
Barrett is free on the condition he return for his next court date Nov. 6.MORE IN This Just InA close gubernatorial election raised questions about support for Gov. Full StoryPolice investigate Full StoryMENS HOCKEY Full Story

BRAT diet
The BRAT diet is a historically prescribed treatment for patients with various forms of gastrointestinal distress such as diarrhea, dyspepsia, and/or gastroenteritis. The BRAT diet consists of foods that are relatively bland, easy to digest, and low in fiber. Low-fiber foods are recommended because foods high in fiber may cause gas, possibly worsening the gastrointestinal upset.[1]
BRAT is the mnemonic acronym for Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast, the staples of the diet.[1] Alternative BRAT diet formulas include BRATT (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Tea, and Toast) and BRATY (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast, and Yogurt).
Contrary medical advice
In recent years, the medical community has made contary treatment recommendations. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests children with mild diarrhea "continue to eat a normal diet including formula or milk".[2]
A CDC study made similar recommendation by stating that "older children accustomed to eating a variety of table foods should continue receiving a regular diet" including "starches (e.g., rice, potatoes, noodles, crackers, and bananas), cereals (e.g., rice, wheat, and oat cereals), soup, yogurt, vegetables, and fresh fruits". It also cautioned against foods high in fat and foods high in simple sugars, such as "soft drinks, undiluted apple juice, Jell-O, and presweetened cereals". The study called the BRAT diet a "reasonable dietary recommendation", but warned against prolonged use to prevent "inadequate energy and protein content in the recovering child's diet".[3]
In addition to dietary restrictions, medical professionals recommended that all patients, regardless of age, intake plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, along with oral rehydration solutions to replace the depleted electrolytes[3] to avoid salt imbalance. Severe, untreated salt imbalance can result in "extreme weakness, confusion, coma, or death".[4]
An alternative diet that is being researched is the CRAM diet (Cereal, Rice, Applesauce,) since it may add more complete protein and needed fat into the diet.[5]
